I want to remove this intermediate screen and play the video automatically in native player. I am okay to show a loading popup untill it load the video and play it. What media event we can use if we are clicking on done button of native player without playing the video fully.
21 Jan 2013 4:23 AM #4
Is it possible that we open the native player immediately after the video view screen is activated by skiping the poster image loading screen?
Does sencha handle any media event which is fired after clicking the done button of native player in iphone without playing the full video?

assuming somehow you can access the component either after painted on dom by attached listener or when defining the class you can access that html5's attribute and set it to true.
if you are using the painted event it should be something like following:
Ext.ComponentQuery.query('#yourVideoContainerId > video')[0].media.dom.autoplay = true

SHADYSIDE - The further a team advances in the postseason, the more contributions it needs from up and down its batting order.
It's no secret that St. John Central has relied on the top and middle of its order most of the season, but Wednesday night at the Mead Township Park Complex, the Irish (24-3) received four RBIs from the No. 8 and 9 hitters in defeating Toronto, 7-1, in a Division IV co-sectional softball tournament final.
With the victory, top-seeded St. John Central makes its annual trip to Tuscarawas County Monday afternoon for district tournament action against the winner of today's Tuscarawas Catholic Central-Garaway game. Monday's game has a 5 p.m. first pitch.
"This is the 12th time in 13 seasons that we've won the sectional," veteran head coach Jerry Magistro said. "I can't remember what year we didn't make it. All I know it was (Beallsville's) Charity Street's senior year.
"We had beat her three times in the regular season and OVACs, but they beat us that year in the sectional."
St. John Central, which clobbered the same Red Knights recently by a 14-2 count, found itself locked in a 1-1 deadlock after 3 innings.
However, bunching five base hits together in the bottom of the fourth, the Irish tallied four runs and never looked back in bumping the margin to 5-1.
Morgan DeLuca ignited the outburst with a leadoff single through the left side of the Toronto infield. Caitlyn Sliva promptly singled up the middle, and Sydney Helms' slicing single to left loaded the bases. Kristen Russell's single got the first run in and, after the first out was recorded, Cheyenne Harris' groundout plated the second. Kyleigh Falcone's clutch two-out single concluded the rally.
"To get that kind of production from those two girls was great," Magistro praised. "I think we are starting to hit all the way through our order."
Seven of the nine Irish batters recorded at least one base hit, with Sliva leading the way with a pair of singles and a triple. She drove in one run.
"Caitlin really hit the ball today," Magistro offered. "She's been coming around and swinging a hot bat."
Sliva scored the first run of the game on a single by Harris with two outs in the second. Helms was thrown out trying to score on a fine relay by the Red Knights.
Toronto drew even when Becca Schaming doubled to left with two outs. Shane Sears singled down the right field line as Schaming raced home.
"You can't afford to make any mistakes against a team like St. John Central," Toronto head coach Eugene Cicarelli said. "My girls played their hearts out. They gave it all they had, and as a coach, you can't ask for any more than that.
"What I do know, if you didn't pitch well and hit well, we were probably going to beat you because we were steady all season long. We usually played within our limits."
The Irish added two more insurance runs in the fifth when courtesy runner Natalie Cervelli safely slide home on the back-end of a double steal and Sliva's single plated Abby Adams.
"Give Toronto credit," Magistro said. "They came to play today."
Hannah Absalom struck out 13 and walked just one in tossing a 3-hitter. She retired 13 of the last 14 Red Knights she faced.

Installed Ubuntu over a Windows 8 trial. After installation, Windows 8 still tries to boot. Wiped disk clean with Acronis and reinstall Ubuntu. Windows 8 still tries to start, but goes to blank screen. Ubuntu never tries to boot. Naturally live mode works fine. What do you think of wiping disk again, install Windows 7 and try using GRUB approach or do you know how to remove Windows from the cleaned disk?
Theres two options to boot an Operating System from..
some OS's like MS.Windows affects MBR and you need to place grub boot loader at MBR. for this purpose:
Step 1: Boot up your system with any grub installed emergency disk.
Step 2: Run gparted program or this command: df and determine what is your drive name (result is like: /dev/sda) without any number at end of /sda
Step 3: if grub is preinstalled then run these commands in shell (terminal):
and if its not installed,do this command:
anyway you need to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg to enable resume function (Hybernate)
You don't necessarily need to install Windows 7 to edit your GRUB. You could also run a live copy of Ubuntu on a flash drive and then edit your GRUB file following this wiki guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
Alternatively, if the GRUB menu doesn't open automatically upon startup, try holding down the SHIFT key before Windows 8 boots. That usually signals it to open, if it's installed properly.
Do you see GRUB menu or not? May be you have just installed GRUB loader in wrong partition (not the one you are booting from). You can select partition for GRUB loader during setup while selecting partition to setup Ubuntu.
If you want to install GRUB on your hard disk. You can do this by using the Ubuntu Live CD.
Now you are done. Reboot the machine.
Another option is to run this command:

Agriculture & Food
Nothing is more basic to human well-being than having enough nutritious food to eat. Yet one in every eight people in the world — 842 million — are trapped in a cycle of hunger and poverty.
The reality is that most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. Hunger is a crisis when disaster ruins the harvest. It is a cycle when families cannot grow or buy enough to lead healthy, productive lives, and when the effects of malnutrition are passed on to the next generation.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced. We distribute vouchers, cash or emergency rations, working with local suppliers to speed delivery, save money and boost local economies.
In addition to emergency responses, we focus on long-term solutions that build future food security.
Mercy Corps helps farmers manage their land, increase their harvests and diversify crops to produce a larger, more nutritious, and stable food supply. By teaching nutrition and hygiene, we ensure families can utilize their resources to boost their health. And we connect farmers with new markets and introduce more efficient methods of tending productive livestock and processing and storing crops to increase incomes for years to come.

As of right now our dogs are not use to using the step and has avoided the step in getting into our Honda Odyssey. We hope that they will get comfortable using the step. Also, with it installed, it is very low and will hit the ground if going over a bump. So it has to be taken off before driving. It is of good construction and sturdy.

I've got a somewhat large SWF which I'd like to deliver through a pre-loader so the user doesn't have to appear to wait as long. With Actionscript it's pretty easy to create an external pre-loader but doing so makes it harder to distribute my game. What methods are available for including the pre-loader in a single SWF?
If you're using Flex in your project, i.e. you created a Flex project, including a preloader in your Application is very easy: set a class name in you Application declaration:
Now, create a class called com.example.Preloader which extends Sprite, and implements mx.preloaders.IPreloaderDisplay.
Basically, any Sprite can be a preloader display, provided that implements the functions written in the IPreloaderDisplay interface. These functions are properties that the application pass to the class so it can know something about the application: height, width, background color, and two important functions: a "preloader" property setter, and a initialize function.
The preloader property setter accepts a Sprite, and you usually add listeners to the parameter given to you, to the PROGRESS, and COMPLETE events that the sprite dispatches to let the preloader know how is the loading going. This is an example of the property setter:
The initialize function is called by the application when it starts loading the real data. The default preloader uses this function to start a timer, which after some time has passed and the application is still loading, it actually displays the preloader (this is to prevent the preloader to appear immediately, until the user has waited too much time for the app to load)
You might want to download some real source code, though, so I recommend this article which answers some other preloader details on how to draw things inside it: http://iamjosh.wordpress.com/2007/12/18/flex-custom-preloader/
I said at the beginning that this was very easy, but if you're a newcomer you might find this rather daunting. But once you learn how to do it, you'll find that all preloaders in Flex work the same.
You already accepted an answer, which is fine. I'm just going to add the way you would do this in an ActionScript only Project (which is preferable for games IMHO, since it doesn't add the bloat of the flex classes).
Your preloader should extend MovieClip. Something along these lines:
Okay, this might sound like a cop-out, but I'd download Flixel and see how they do it. Modify it to your hearts content of course, but why not just learn from a working example?
This might help you: http://active.tutsplus.com/tutorials/workflow/the-comprehensive-guide-to-preloading-a-single-swf-file/

I have changed ownership of my localhost file on
/var/www/ and its sub folders and given it permission 777. However, whenever I add a new folder in it the new folder does not automatically get that permission. How can I give a folder 777 permission forever so that if I add a new folder or file it gets the same permission?
I have changed ownership of my localhost file on
Permissions for newly created files are set by umask
You can use the recursive option any time.
As others have already mentioned, giving 777 permissions on
A better solution would be to give write permissions only to the users who needs to modify the files. One of the ways to do that is:
Another option would be to use ACL, again, to give write permissions only to users who need them.
Here are detailed instructions on serverfault.
Generally, the webserver or other network services or system user accounts should have no write permissions to the files served by the webserver, as this opens a possibility of arbitrary code execution.
You should edit
Example: ALT+F2
Go to the end of the file and add a line
Where umask is the binary opposite of the desired permissions value.
Restart apache.
This will only affect files/folders that are newly created by the apache user.
Additional note, read and write is 6 in the user, group, or anyone slot.
Also, some "out of the box" solution is to configure your http server to use different folder. If You use Apache, simply edit it config files. This way You do not have to change permissions for /var/www witch can be bad idea (potential security issues).
And umask is answer for Your question. It can be used to restrict default privileges for newly created folders and files. And distribution developers tend to use it to restrict access to some system folders.
I think you want to have write access to

My wife and I have iPhones. We have separate Apple accounts on the phones. Can we share the same iCloud music and pictures?
Nope. The same account would need to be signed in on both devices.
You would need to both use the same iCloud account in order to share photos across Photo Stream. You can sync both devices with the same iTunes library to share music, while still using seperate Apple ID's within the iTunes store under the phone settings. (if you wish to continue using separate IDs for downloads)
iCloud does not sync music, so if the end result is to share all music downloads and photos the best advice I can give is to stop using one Apple ID and simply start using the same ID. There is no way to merge two IDs, only to both share the ID that contains more downloaded music and apps.
If you have a shared account for iTunes and individual accounts for Mail/Calendar/etc. it is possible to access iCloud music from several devices. Just make sure to log in to iTunes with the shared account on both iOS devices (and on the Mac).

When shooting only two shots around, the images join at 90 degrees to the lens axis, so the entrance pupil must be visible when looking from the side of the lens in a direction at right angles to the lens axis. The entrance pupil is the point about which you need to rotate the lens, which will be well forward of the gold ring.

依偎 implies a strong sentimental attachement, usually expressing love or affection. Mostly used between couples, lovers, child and parent.
偎傍 doesn't necessarily carry so much personal feelings, just meaning "stay side by side closely" and is seldom to use in informal/oral conversation. I think it's original from Chinese poems.
Here is a understanding:
for example, 依偎 is used as a baby(weak in strength) 依偎 his mother (stronger in strength), and 偎傍 is used as two comrade(have the same strength) 偎傍 each other. There is more example, '杨柳依偎磐石','磐石相互偎傍'.

RALEIGH, N.C. – The Charlotte softball team dropped a pair of non-conference games to in-state foe N.C. State University on Wednesday afternoon at Dail Stadium.
Charlotte (14-16 overall) fell 2-0 to N.C. State (17-16-1) in the opening game and 10-3 in the closer.
In game one, the Wolfpack struck first and took the 1-0 lead on a two-out rally in the third inning. With runners on first and second, Scout Albertson singled to left field to drive in the game's first run.
N.C. State tacked on another run in the fourth inning with a lead-off home run from Bethaney Wells to extend its advantage to 2-0.
Pitcher Katie Watkins (8-10) allowed just four hits and recorded five strikeouts. Emily Weiman tossed a no-hitter and finished with a game-high eight strikeouts.
In game two, N.C. State didn't hesitate and secured a 5-0 lead in the first inning off three hits and a Charlotte error. However, Charlotte responded in the third inning and put a pair of runs on the board after Chelsea Stamey led off with a single to get things started. Natalie Capone reached on a fielder's choice and Stamey advanced to second off a throwing error by the Wolfpack. A wild pitch put Stamey and Capone in scoring position and Alex Rogers hit a stand up double to right center to cut N.C. State's lead to 5-2.
The Wolfpack answered and posted a run in the third but Charlotte kept fighting and sliced their advantage to 6-3 in the fourth inning. Jessie Fennell, who reached on a fielder's choice, scored the run off a double deep to centerfield from Capone.
However N.C. scored two runs off three hits in the fourth inning but then Chelsea Tate and Hanna Sommer hit solo home runs in the fifth to push the score to 10-3.
Kalie Lang relieved Chelsea Lisikatos in the first inning and struck out three batters. Lisikatos recorded the loss and fell to 5-5. Stamey led the Niners with two hits. Capone, Rogers, Samantha Slade, and Kalie Lang each finished with a hit.
Charlotte returns back to conference play on Saturday, April 6 when it visits Dayton for an Atlantic 10 doubleheader beginning at noon.

I'm zeroing on buying the 2012 MacBook Air. My usage of the machine will be mostly for development work (MySQL, Eclipse, Xcode, Android, etc.). I will also be running Windows 7 with SQL Server in a virtual box or by using Boot Camp. My question is which upgrade will result in the most bang for the buck: more RAM or a faster processor? Does putting higher memory/processor make the machine run hotter?
With all that stuff you're running, you probably won't be happy with 4 GB of RAM. If it's truly an either/or decision, up the RAM unless you know that you won't be paging with only 4 GB.
The processor goes from a 1.8 GHz Core i5 to a 2.0 GHz Core i7. I'm not sure that's all that much of a noticeable increase.
As for temperature, Apple will put in a sufficiency of cooling regardless of the processor you choose. I don't really get why people get freaky about laptop heat output: any heat problem I've ever heard of is due to environmental factors that the user (not the manufacturer) has control over.
All that said, I got a 2012 MacBook Air with 8 GB RAM and the 2.0 GHz Core i7, and I'm super happy with it. It's noticeably faster than my previous, a 2011 Air with 4 GB RAM and the 1.8 GHz Core i7, but I suspect that's mostly the RAM and the better graphics between the 2011 and 2012 models.
tl;dr: probably the RAM, maybe the processor. It all depends on how you're going to use the machine.
The following are some stats of my MacBook Pro (4GB RAM, 2.3 GHz i5) right now. I'm using it for similar things you plan to use your Air for. I have a VM with Windows XP open, some Terminal windows, iTunes playing, Xcode, X11 running, and some Finder windows.
The CPU is more or less idle:
But check the RAM (yes, I have two 8GB sticks coming for an upgrade to 16GB :P):
I think that you can see quite clearly where's the bottleneck.
You should definitely upgrade your RAM.
In general - the advice is to spend money on SSD first, then RAM, and lastly the CPU. Most consumers are not CPU bound running simulations or graphics rendering calculations.
The CPU is usually waiting for it's cache to be filled (from RAM) or the RAM to be filled (from storage) so it can idle down and not use the maximum clock speed and be hitting the max thermal generation/power use.
In practice, the CPU/RAM/SSD does not make a measurable difference unless you are running benchmarks that load the CPU/GPU perfectly. In actual use - having more RAM allows many programs to be in memory, so spending your money there might make more sense if you have many programs running at once or do Photoshop/Aperture photo editing of large images.
There are no bad choices in the current Air line - all are ridiculously fast compared to the Pro Macs from a generation back. Heck, my 2011 Air still is fast and responsive even next to the new retina MacBook Pro which has seriously more RAM and CPU/GPU. Yes the new IPS retina display is gorgeous even not considering the resolution, but the 11 inch Air's display is way better than most of remaining line up if you are looking for contrast or color fidelity and doing a lot of code work.
This is how I think you should consider it:
Percentage wise, the CPU is only an 11% boost noticeable only at very high usages
Percentage wise, the RAM is a 100% boost noticeable at mid range usage and up.
In my experience, I just have the new macbook pro with 8G memory. And I am very happy with it for the development. I am mainly using eclipse, database, listen music and safari for my work and lots of other text editor. And I sometimes checked the memory usage and it seldom has the pageout. So I think you should just upgrade your memory from 4GB to 8GB and that would make you happy.
This might sound counter productive, but given the non-upgradable nature of the MacBook Air hardware, I would very strongly suggest you save up for a wicked machine that will be future proof. I hope you don't end up in a situation where you regret not spending the extra buck now, but suffer from lower specced hardware for the entire useful life of the MBA.
In my case, I saved 3 years (as a teen) to buy a >$2,000 MacBook, and I'm still using it today, 4 years later, with quite solid hardware.
I see no reason to buy RAM from Apple. After that, decide on the processor you need and get the right model. If you see you are getting many page outs get some memory from Amazon for few bucks.
I can't tell much about the memory temps. I would guess with more memory you get less/no page outs which would probably make it cooler as it will work less but doubt its going to affect overall temps.
CPU temps depends on model and use you got to look that up if its important.

Eczema Flare-ups and Food
Q: When my daughter was 10 months old, she was diagnosed with eczema and was prescribed an ointment and a liquid antihistamine. Now she is 18 months old, and it seems like certain foods, such as dairy and acidic foods, make her skin worse. How can I be sure what foods are causing her skin to flare up more?
A: Certain foods can cause a flare-up of eczema (atopic dermatitis), a condition that causes a red rash on the skin that is dry and irritated. If a child is sensitive to certain foods (more common in infants and toddlers), an eczema flare-up can occur when these foods are eaten. Similarly, a child with environmental allergies (such as allergies to dust, molds, and pets) is more likely to suffer from eczema and it can worsen when she is exposed to them. Although avoiding certain triggers is not a cure for eczema, it can certainly relieve some of your daughter's discomfort.
Certain foods have been known to make eczema worse, such as eggs, milk, wheat products, and soy. Tomatoes, nuts, fish, citrus, and tropical fruits are other foods that have been associated with worsening symptoms. There is no one food or set of foods that makes every child's eczema worse; each child is different. Even though you may notice that one particular food makes your daughter's eczema worse, it is important to speak with your doctor before removing any foods which are necessary for growth and development from your child's diet. It may be difficult to pinpoint the exact food because many prepared foods contain a variety of ingredients.
To determine what is worsening your daughter's eczema, observe what she is eating, wearing, and doing during the flare-up. Keep a diary and review it for some consistent pattern. Finding food sensitivities is very difficult and often never determined, so do not get discouraged. In the meantime, here are some tips to help relieve your daughter's discomfort and prevent other flare-ups: Bathe your child with warm -- not hot water -- and avoid excessive scrubbing and toweling. Be sure to apply a moisturizer immediately after her bath. However, make sure that the moisturizer you use does not contain alcohol, which can dry her skin. If your home is dry, particularly in the winter when the heat is on, consider using a humidifier in the house to moisten the air. Also, try to dress her in mostly cotton clothing since it is less irritating to her skin. To avoid skin infections, cut her nails short so that she does not break the skin while scratching. Mittens or gloves may also prove helpful. If her skin becomes infected, your physician should treat it promptly. The cortisone cream and liquid antihistamine your physician prescribed should also help decrease her skin inflammation and itching within a few hours.
The good news is that your daughter's eczema will probably improve as she gets older. In the meantime, by avoiding triggers and following regular treatment as recommended by your pediatrician, her eczema can be controlled.

In Mississippi, there is no doubt that immigrant entrepreneurs and innovators play an important role. Immigrant entrepreneurs bring in additional revenue, create jobs, and contribute significantly to the state's economy. Highly skilled immigrants are vital to the state's innovation industries and to the metropolitan areas within the state, helping to boost local economies. Furthermore, local government, business, and non-profit leaders recognize the importance of immigrants in their communities and support immigration through local "welcoming" and integration initiatives.
Immigrant entrepreneurs contribute to Mississippi's economy.
- From 2006 to 2010, there were 4,534 new immigrant business owners [1] in Mississippi, and in 2010, 4.2 percent [1] of all business owners in Mississippi were foreign-born.
- In 2010, new immigrant business owners had total net business income [1] of $181 million, which is 3.2 percent of all net business income in the state.
- In 1908, Russian immigrant Sam Stein founded [2] Stein Mart in Greenville, Mississippi. Although the company is now headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, it maintains a presence in 29 states with over 260 stores.
Highly skilled immigrants are vital to Mississippi's innovation industries, which in turn helps lead American innovation and creates jobs.
- Immigrants contribute to Mississippi's economic growth and competitiveness by earning degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields from the state's research universities. In 2009, more than 35 percent [2] of STEM graduates from the state's research-intensive universities were foreign-born, and almost 67 percent of graduates earning PhDs in engineering in Mississippi were not born in the U.S.
- In 2011, the U.S. Department of Labor certified 544 H-1B high-skilled visa labor certification applications [3] in Mississippi, with an average annual wage of $56,374, which is higher than Missouri's median household income [4] of $38,718 or per capita income of $20,521.
- An expansion [5] of the high-skilled visa program would create an estimated 1,800 new jobs in Mississippi by 2020. By 2045, this expansion would add [5] around $788 million to Gross State Product and increase personal income by more than $800 million.
While the numbers are compelling, they don't tell the whole story.
- Immigrant entrepreneurs not only contribute to large innovative companies, but to small business formation in local communities. In towns across Mississippi, immigrant family-owned small businesses contribute to the vitality of their local communities. Although initially aimed at other immigrant customers, many businesses quickly see an expansion of their clientele to include a diverse array of immigrant and native-born customers alike.
- After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, immigrants and immigrant business owners were a part of the rebuilding effort in Gulf Coast communities [6], including places in Mississippi such as Biloxi and Gulfport.
- According to Andy Guerra, president of the Gulf Coast Latin American Association, there are several "grocery/corner stores catering specifically to Latinos, nearly a dozen Mexican restaurants, a Spanish-language radio program and talks of opening new businesses continue daily in Harrison County."
- The growing immigrant population has allowed local business owners to expand current operations and open new locations. The Diaz family, who run La Bamba Latin Store on Judge Sekul Avenue in Biloxi, were able to grow and expand their business.
- Enrique Vega, owner of El Rancho Mexican Restaurant on Pass Road, also in Biloxi, said his business benefits from a diverse mix of local, military, and immigrant customers.
- Lucio Cano, from Mexico, opened Lucio's Mundo Latino Grocery in Waveland in 2006. Prior to Hurricane Katrina, Cano had owned a Mexican restaurant in Pass Christian, which was destroyed by the storm.
- Nolvia Bacallo and her husband, Jose, originally from Cuba, opened Las Palmas Cuban Restaurant in 2006. At their restaurant, customers represent a broad mix of locals and immigrant newcomers.
- In Gulfport and Biloxi, an immigrant business corridor is found along Pass Road between Cowan Road and Keesler Air Force Base. Within several blocks, restaurants featuring cuisines of Mexico, Greece, Korea, Japan, the Caribbean, among other places, are available, along with a Mexican supermarket.
In Mississippi, local leaders have begun recognizing and supporting immigration through "welcoming" and integration initiatives.
- The Mississippi Immigrant Rights Alliance (MIRA) is a statewide organization [7] founded in 2000 [8] in response to the state's growing immigrant population. Specifically, MIRA "works to support immigrants in the exercise of their rights through providing legal services, organizing, advocacy and public education."
- In addition to providing services designed to more effectively integrate immigrants into Mississippi, MIRA also conducts activities to educate [9] the broader public about immigrant issues.
- Examples of MIRA's broader educational activities [8] include educating the state legislature to help pass a bill upholding Plyler v. Doe, which guarantees the enrollment in public schools of immigrant children; and advocating for bilingual education in Mississippi and for opening the teacher licensing process to "credit immigrant teachers for their education and experience."
- The Immigration Clinic of Catholic Charities of Jackson has a mission [10] to "welcome the stranger" through "direct services, education, and advocacy on behalf of the immigrants" in Mississippi.
- The organization's Immigration Clinic provides a variety of direct services [10] to the immigrant population in the area, including family-based services to individuals seeking adjustment of immigration status, work authorization, naturalization and citizenship, as well as interpretation and translation services.
- Additionally, the Immigration Clinic conducts education outreach [10] for immigrants and the broader community. In particular, the organization ensures that the immigrant community is aware of their rights and responsibilities and educates the "general population about the immigrant community in order to promote understanding, acceptance, and protection of immigrant rights."

It's hard to believe no one hs written a review on the El Fito!! These knickers are the best. Great fit. Perfect for cool AMs and into the warm afternoons that happen in the Spring and Autumn (here in S. Oregon). The pad is good (up to 50miles) and I understand Ibex is upgrading the pad for 2009. ??.. The knee fabric is shaped to the knee and wind proof. They do ride up at the knee esp after several days of riding and not washed and the waist could use a draw-string (my personal preference).. I've used these two seasons and are still in great shape. a great product and with "improvements" could be even better.

The 20 Most Bizarre Celebrity Baby Names
#10. Ocean
Child Of: Forest Whitaker
The last King of Scotland actually did explain why he named his son Ocean. His words:
"I want those names to be their destiny, for my daughter to be honest and my son to be expansive. I try to be like a forest, revitalizing and constantly growing."
That's very inspirational, and we do hope his daughter is inspired by the ocean to become expansive, rather than becoming huge, salty and smelling of fish.
#9. Prince Michael II/Blanket
Child Of: Michael Jackson
You can really chart Michael Jackson's journey into Crazytown with the naming of his children. When his first kid was produced somehow in 1997, he gave him the pretentious but not-quite-insane name Prince Michael Jackson. In 2002, another boy comes along and Michael, completely out of name ideas, calls him Prince Michael II. You'd expect his nickname to be "The Revenge," but instead Michael started calling him "Blanket."
It's such a great example of how a completely innocent word, given the right set of circumstances, can be nightmarishly disturbing.
#8. Rocket Rodriguez
Child Of: Robert Rodriguez
But you might say, "Cracked, Rocket is such an awesome name!" OK, but you've got to try to imagine this kid having a life outside of porn industry. After all, imagine you're about to be put under on the operating table, and the nurse leans over and tells you your heart surgery is going to be performed by Rocket Rodriguez. OK, that would actually be pretty awesome. But seriously, imagine if the kid ever wanted to run for President ... wait, no, still awesome. OK, we may have to reconsider this one.
Interesting Tidbit: Rocket has four younger siblings: Racer, Rebel, Rogue and Rhiannon. Yeah, Rob has a thing for alliteration.
#7. Blue Angel
Child Of:The Edge (From U2)
Not one, but two children of U2 band members making the list! Coincidence? We think not!
It's telling that Edge could so easily have just left it at "Angel" and given the kid a perfectly normal name. Nope, he's The Edge and dammit, it's important the kid have a weird name that's difficult to explain, and reminds people of those stunt fighter pilots.
#6. Audio Science
Child Of: Actress Shannyn Sossamon
It's true that Shannyn Sossamon just barely qualifies as a celebrity, but she forces her way onto this list with this exceptionally bizarre name.
We learn with this entry that the only thing sadder than a pretentious baby name is a failed attempt at a pretentious baby name that ends up sounding like the name of a class at a local community college.
4 & 5 Moon Unit and Diva Thin Muffin
Children Of: Frank Zappa
We've piled all of Frank Zappa's ridiculous kid names into one entry, rather than let him dominate half the list (He named his other kids Dweezil and Ahmet).
He was a funny guy, rest his soul, but as with Jason Lee earlier it's really not cool to saddle your kid with a goofy name just so you can chuckle when you see the birth certificate.
#3. Moxie Crimefighter
Child Of: Penn Jillette
Apparently, Jillette's wife had no middle name, and their theory was that you never use the middle name anyway so why not have some fun with it. This does not explain the "Moxie" part.
#2. Tu Morrow
Child Of: Rob Morrow (from the TV show Numb3rs)
Now, we've just about reached the lowest of the low. Below the wacky joke names, and the pretentious hippie names, we have the pun names. Tu Morrow.
We've heard tales of these people; the ones named "Mary Christmas" and "Candy Barr" and "Ruby Cox." It's not only the worst kind of name, it's the worst kind of humor. "Tu Morrow?" That's not one of those things that starts out funny and then wears out its welcome with time; that stops being funny before you say it. It doesn't get any worse than this.
#1. Jermajesty
Child Of: Jermaine Jackson
We stand corrected.

I once heard the NX bit was a panacea, then that it was not. One detail I've wondered about though: Does the NX (no execute) bit protect against code inserted into the stack and executed there? It seems to me that the stack, because it's not the heap, might not be protected by NX usually. THanks.
The NX bit is a feature of the Memory Management Unit of some CPU (including recent enough x86). It allows to mark each memory page as being "allowed" or "disallowed" for code execution. The MMU is under control of the kernel; the kernel code decides which pages get the execution privilege and which do not. Therefore, whether the stack space is protected against execution depends on the OS. It also depends on a lot of other things:
It so happens that in the ELF file format, which is the format of executable files and DLL on Linux, there is a field which allows to specify whether the stack should be executable or not. When GCC compiles some code which contains a nested function, it sets this flag in the produced binary.
I have made some tests on a fairly recent Linux (Ubuntu 13.10, on 64-bit x86, with NX bit activated). Whether a given page is executable or not can be inferred from the contents of the special file
From all of this we conclude that on at least some recent versions of Linux, the stacks (main and threads) will usually be marked as non-executable (i.e. NX bit set). However, if the executable code of the application, or some executable code somewhere in a DLL loaded by the application, contains a nested function or otherwise advertises a need for an executable stack, then all stacks in the application will be marked as executable (i.e. NX bit not set). In other words, a single loadable plugin or extension for an application may deactivate NX stack protection for all threads of the applications, simply by using a rarely used but legitimate and documented feature of GCC.
There is no need to panic, though, because, as @tylerl points out, protection afforded by the NX bit is not that great. It will make some exploits more awkward for the least competent of attackers; but good attackers will not be impeded. Also, all this talk about NX is about trying to contain damage once a buffer overflow or use-after-free has occurred, and that's arguably a bit late to react.
By marking the stack as non-execute, you effectively prevent code inserted into the stack from running. You're not protecting the stack from modification; rather, you're causing a hard crash when the code attempts to jump to a position in the NX-marked stack.
The workaround is to not attempt to execute code on the stack. Instead of setting the return position to a spot in the stack, you set it to the location of a system function such as
NX therefore provides some level of protection, but not tons. It somewhat limits the flexibility of what an attacker can do with the initial exploit, but given he can leverage that exploit to execute a shell, there's not a lot of safety there.
The next layer in defense is ASLR, which randomizes the location of system functions such as
Attacks against ALSR are typically brute force; run your exploit multiple times, trying different return addresses each time. This means that ALSR is significantly less effective on 32-bit system than on 64-bit because of the limited range of randomization, allowing for relatively fast brute-force attacks.
ASLR combined with NX offers some degree of protection, but nothing is absolute.

I waited all day for this exact moment only to find out the purple shirts are not included in the 20% discounted price. On well, no purple for me. That extra $3 is too much when I have to by one for me and one for the girlfriend too.
3 Answers answer
Traditionally only the Reckoning shirts have been 20% off during the woot-off detour. Bummer.
The side sales are not counted as part of the Reckoning.

I am confused with the concept of topology base. Which are the properties a base has to have?
Having the next two examples for $X=\{a,b,c\}$:
1) $(X,\mathcal{T})$ is a topological space where $\mathcal{T}=\{\emptyset,X,\{a\},\{b\},\{a,b\}\}$. Which is the general procedure to follow in order to get a base for $(X,\mathcal{T})$? Can $\mathcal{B}=\{\{a\},\{b\}\}$ be a base?
2) Having just $X$ and no topology $\mathcal{T}$ defined for $X$, is $\mathcal{A}=\{X,\{a\},\{c\}\}$ a base? What is the topology that it generates?
Thank you very much.

Hope vs. Faith
I was thinking about hope this week and what it means to our lives. When I looked up the definition of hope, here is what came forward: The feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best; A person or thing in which expectations are centered; to look forward with desire and reasonable confidence.
The definition reminded me that hope can be attached to a feeling and therefore can be affected by emotion. "I hope things turn out okay." "I hope that I will be understood." "I hope my family will be okay." It dawned on me that when I am hoping, I am looking into the future. There is a desire to be supported, but not an assuredness that everything will fall into place. Somehow there is a little kernel of doubt that things might not work out in a powerful way.

A man climbs to the summit of the oldest inhabited place on earth, a mountain called the Citadel, a Vatican-like state that towers above the city of Ruin in Turkey. But this is no ordinary ascent. It is a symbolic actand one that is witnessed by the world.
Few understand its consequence. But for Kathryn Mann, its evidence that a revolution is coming. For the Sancti, the secretive monks who live inside the Citadel, it could mean the end of everything they have built. They will stop at nothing to keep what is theirseven kill if they have to. For reporter Liv Adamsen, it spurs the memory of the brother she lost, setting her on a journey across the world and into the heart of her own identity.
There, she will make a discovery so shocking it will change everything . . .
About the Author
Simon Toyne has worked in British television for twenty years. He was the writer, director, and producer on several award-winning shows, one of which won a BAFTA. He lives in England with his wife and family. The Tower is the stunning conclusion to the Ruin trilogy.
Praise For…
"In British author Toyne's stellar first in a projected trilogy, a thriller in the Dan Brown tradition . . . The truly mind-boggling revelation will leave astounded readers eager for the next installment."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Sanctus
"Remarkable . . . Its 'just one more page, one more chapter' urgency keeps you reading into the night, and the final revelation of the Citadel's secret is haunting."
-Library Journal (starred review) on Sanctus
"When you read Sanctus, you'll see just how frightening, ruthless and relentlessly entertaining an order of monks can be. Haunting in the best way."
-Brad Meltzer, New York Times bestselling author of The Inner Circle
"[Sanctus] might turn out to be the next great cliffhanger conspiracy thriller."
-Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"[A] cool, confident debut. A talented new writer who instinctively grasps the broad rules of superior action thrillers and adapts them with pace, grace, humour and a keen eye for cinematic effect."

WEIRTON - Four individuals were arrested in Weirton Thursday following a drug investigation in the city's downtown.
According to Detective Ricky Grishkevich, the Weirton Police Department's Street Crimes Unit conducted a drug investigation at two properties on West Street Thursday.
Officers received consent to search 3421 West St., where Maleah Deserae Fletcher, 21, was arrested and charged with delivery of crack cocaine.

Weirton police arrested four individuals Thursday at two homes on West Street, confiscating drugs and other items. The individuals face drug and other charges, according to officials. -- Craig Howell
After receiving a warrant, officers with the Street Crimes Unit also searched 3409 West St., where Danny Lee Irwin, 29, Jennifer Lynn Williamson, 39, and Eric Wayne Davidson, 30, were arrested on charges of conspiracy to deliver crack cocaine as well as child neglect creating substantial risk of injury.
"All three subjects were smoking the crack in the presence of Irwin and Williamson's 5-year-old daughter," Grishkevich said.
Child Protective Services also was on the scene, according to Grishkevich, where they took custody of a total of five children from the two houses.
Several items, including electronics, were found as part of the search, which officials believe the individuals were using to obtain the drugs. The items appeared to have been stolen, according to police.
"They were trading off stolen property for the crack," Grishkevich said.
Officials currently are working to identify some of the items discovered during the searches to see if they match items reported missing.
As of Friday, Fletcher was being held in the Northern Regional Jail on a $25,000 bond, while Irwin, Williamson and Davidson were being held on a $50,000 bond each.
Grishkevich said there is the possibility of additional charges against the four individuals as the investigation continues.

I'm in the market for a new tripod and I'm trying to find something with a small footprint to minimize the amount of post processing I need to do for 360's.
It will be used mostly in houses on surfaces like hardwood floors and carpet. I'm not sure if anyone has tried something similar but I'm envisioning something like a heavy 12" plate with a monopod attached to it.
It shouldn't be too hard to make something like this and it would be nice to not have to remove tripod legs from each shot.
I'll be using a D800 with a shaved 10.5mm for full 360's.

Is there any standard length of the token which should be used while generating the random tokens? Should we use the same standard which we use for generating Session IDs?
I would consider a 128 bits of entropy in a token to be the de-facto standard. OWASP and CWE both recommend this as a minimum. 20 characters of Base64 (capable of 120 bits) is also handy for something in the URL. I would also note that in many cases poor seeding for those tokens creates problems. For one bit of reference, see the (kind of tastelessly decorated, but very informative) slides from http://samy.pl/bh10/.
Make sure you choose your entropy source well.
This is an old question, but I've had occasion to look into this question and decided to at least look into what some and CSRF libraries use by default and my results are as follows:
Note that my sample is heavily biased toward frameworks of which I can access the source code and frameworks I'm familiar with.
I've specifically tried to find frameworks which use 64 bits or less of entropy to try and justify why ATG would use a standard Java "long" and have been unsuccessful, so my conclusion is that 64 bits is probably too short.
That said, assuming an attacker can do 100,000 requests per second, it should take around 2.93 million years on average to brute force a 64-bit CSRF token. (And there shouldn't be more than one token in the whole token space, unlike with session id's.) So, maybe 64 bits is enough.
In CSRF an attacker can make many guesses. What if an employee visits an attackers site and then goes on Christmas vacation? An attacker could make many millions of cross-site requests. We have a similar concern for session id's. If either value is obtained then session is compromised. The same standards of strength should be applied to both CSRF tokens and Session IDs.
In both cases make sure the value expires. Can the attacker can't make 2^128 requests in a week, but eventually he will be able to. If your random number generator is weak, then you may think you have a 2^128th cryptographic nonce, but it might be much less.

Let $V$ be a $\mathbb{Q}$-vector subspace of $\mathbb{Q}^n$, and let $G = V \cap \mathbb{Z}^n$. Does there exist a linearly independent generating set for $G$ (i.e. a subset of $G$ such that every element of $G$ can be expressed uniquely as as $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combination of elements of this subset)? Is there an algorithm to find it (given a basis for $V$)?

How do you compress a video so that it is a manageable size for protools? What codec do you recommend and what is a manageable size for LE? The original video is 360 mb and it is 7min color. I can't seem to get the right settings in compressor. Mp4 size only brings it down to 310mb and h.264 brought it up to 1.1gig.
File size is less of an issue than bit-rate is. People from Avid will tell you to stay away from H.264 with Pro Tools if you can.
As C3Sound mentioned, DV is best (whether you're using NTSC or PAL...). So, use DV NTSC/PAL or DV50 NTSC/PAL as needed. If you have the option 2 Pass VBR will net you a more efficient encode. It takes longer, but it runs smoother.
As I've already mentioned, bit rate/streaming is a big factor. You'll find the video will play back much smoother and cause less strain in your PT session if you have a separate/dedicated video drive. For the best functionality with video, Pro Tools likes 3 drive (OS, Project/Audio, and Video). If you can split out the data onto multiple drives that way, the actual seek time of the drive and the bus speed will be less of an issue.
LE works best with DV-NTSC - if you have some processing power to your comp you can always go H.264 for smaller file size, but sometimes PT can go crazy trying to crank DSP and decompress video at the same time. Only would say use this if you have a quad-core or i7.
H264 shouldnt increase file size. Use Quicktime Pro 7 and make sure everything stays the same with framerate and double check audio isnt being jacked up from 44.1 to 48k or something like that.
If you're not sending the video out to a Firewire box, photo-jpeg is a nice codec to use - reasonable size, seeks incredibly fast (intraframe) and is very quick to transcode from MP4. I have a habit of running any video I receive through QT Sync, and export to photo-jpeg (Quicktime Movie). H.264 is cpu-intensive and I haven't seen either Pro-Tools or Logic seek accurately within it or any other mpeg-4.. Of course, if you have a firewire box, then DV all the way.
7 min 360mb is just fine. It would be roughly 500mb in high quality Photojpeg. 7 minutes in DV would be way more..
360mb for a 7 minute file is pretty small. Not sure if anything smaller will be good enough quality to do sound design for anything detailed you'd have to see.
I generally use H.264 or a Quicktime .mov. The trick to a smaller size is the bitrate. It's a quick calculation to see how big the file will be. You can also take HD footage and scale it down to a smaller screen resolution.
Who is getting you your video files? Are you creating the output yourself? I generally request a .mov from the editor and then go from there.
I compressed it in compressor with DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Linear PCM, Timecode and the file is now 2GB. It is an 8:45 second movie 2 audio channels bitrate total 30,000. Why is it growing in size when i compress it? The original file is LinearPCM H.264, bit rate 5700, 374 mb.

In the first movie, they had the Delorean rev up with the emergency brake turned on and the speedometer revved up close to the magical 88mph. What I'm wondering is why they didn't just have the car do a brakestand to 88mph instead of trying to drive the Delorean to the same speed?
The car had to reach a velocity of 88 miles per hour. It had nothing to do with the speedometer hitting 88 miles per hour.
In the animated series episode Gone Fishin` Jules Brown (one of Doc Brown's sons) places a spare flux capacitor in a barrel. When the barrel falls over the waterfall and reaches 88 mph, the flux capacitor activites and moves Jules Brown through time (and space) before crashing at the bottom.

Mikael wants to carve pumpkins!
Halloween is coming up, and with a suitably placed Soldering Workshop, what better way to prepare for the gourd-filled festivities than by soldering your own pumpkin hack?
With the bits we carve out of the pumpkins, we might even be ambitious enough to start cooking meals for the crowd - pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie: the possibilities are endless!
Cost (and logistics)
We need to buy the pumpkins and to get enough components for the stuff people want to do. Mikael'll dig out a few cool projects from Make:blog and other sources, and post expected costs for the resulting kits and for pumpkins. Hauling the pumpkins though is going to need a bit of coordination - not possible to lug on buses from Palo Alto :-) - we need to get someone to help out driving it all to the space.
In the end, you'll be paying for your pumpkin, and a few $ worth of electronics to put in it.
