KADENA AIR BASE, Japan -- In today's technology-driven society, many people overlook libraries as relevant places to find information, but to those who work in libraries, anywhere that allows the sharing of knowledge still has a place in modern society.
That quest for knowledge brings people together, so a group of 15 Okinawan librarians from the local community came here to experience the ins and outs of operating an American library.
"I do believe it's a good idea for [local librarians] to be more familiar with what the Americans are interested in," said Keiko Shinzato, 18th Force Support Squadron library acquisition technician. "I think that the visit will help strengthen the friendship and relationship between the Okinawans and the Americans."
Schriever Air Force Base, Colo. -- Imagine launching yourself into the wind, gradually gaining altitude and reaching speeds of 25-35 miles per hour catching the wind. As you look at the shrinking ground beneath your feet and the cool air blowing in your face, you stop to take in the view. This is the closest you will get to flying like your favorite superhero.
Schriever Airmen who participated in the Single Airman Initiative program experienced this sensation during a paragliding trip Saturday in Vail Valley, Colorado.
"The paragliding trip was amazing, it's probably the most adventurous thing I've ever done," said Airman Basic Esmeralda Garcia, 50th Force Support Squadron customer service apprentice.
SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. -- The Shaw Air Force Base Commissary hosted a Healthy Lifestyle Festival here in order to highlight aspects of healthy living such as eating healthy and exercising, July 15.
The festival featured events hosted in conjunction with the 20th Force Support Squadron Fitness and Health Center and 20th Aerospace Medicine Squadron Health Promotions.
For Team Shaw service members, the event was a chance to explore the produces and services on base that support Comprehensive Airman Fitness. The Air Force's CAF concept encourages Airmen to maintain fitness in four categories: spiritual, social, mental, and physical.
JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska -- Aspiring young athletes at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson had the opportunity to live a football fan's dream and train with an NFL athlete at the Military ProCamp at JBER, Alaska, July 12 and 13, 2016.
Detroit Lions wide receiver, Alaska-born Andre Roberts, brought his talents to the gridiron at the ProCamp.
The event was hosted by 673d Force Support Squadron for more than 130 JBER youth ranging from first to eighth grade. This is the fourth year Defense Commissary Agency has helped sponsor the ProCamp.
MALMSTROM AIR FORCE BASE, MT -- The struggles of military life can sometimes be overwhelming with deployments, temporary duty assignments, permanent changes of station and everything else in between.
The military provides members and their dependents an opportunity to talk about day-to-day stressors with licensed clinical counselors.
"A Military Family Life Consultant provides non-medical, solution-focused counseling for active duty, Reserve and Guard military members and their dependents in all branches of service," said Rhonda Carlson, 341st Force Support Squadron Airman and Family Readiness Center director. "MFLCs can also see retirees and their dependents for up to 180 days."
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas --
Maximizing convenience and efficiency are the main goals of the U.S. Air Force's "Community Commons" initiative. More importantly, it's meant to foster camaraderie to build and sustain ready and resilient Airmen and their families.
"The idea is to make it a one-stop shop kind of thing for our customers, to go to and get to our activities," said Capt. Chris Dillard, Air Force Services Activity chief of new product and program development. "We can be a central hub for socializing and recreating under one roof."
SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany --
The 52nd Force Support Squadron reopened the Eifel Lanes Bowling Center on Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, June 28, 2016.
The bowling center, which had been undergoing renovations since earlier this year, completed a final inspection without any discrepancies allowing it to open ahead of schedule.
"Our bowling staff was able to work extremely productively and efficiently over the last five days to allow all operations to reopen early," said U.S. Air Force Col. Steven Zubowicz, 52nd Mission Support Group commander. "The entire staff is eager to get started again with all the lanes now operational and looking great."
DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. -- Members of the 436th Force Support Squadron met with a representative from the Delaware Parks and Recreation Office to sign a memorandum of understanding June 23, 2016, at Dover AFB.
The latest pact of the First State Community Partnership officially recognized the long standing relationship between the two agencies, and established intent to continue building the foundation for greater teamwork.
RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany -- The 86th Force Support Squadron Vogelweh Community Center is slated to unveil the Port Royal Mystery Escape Room during a grand opening at 3 p.m., June 24, at Crossroads Community Center Annex on Vogelweh Military Complex, Germany.
The escape room is a pirate-themed event where participants have one hour to solve riddles and puzzles to get out of a room.
The community center received funding for the escape room from Air Force Services Activity as a part of its Recharge for Resiliency initiative that included 20 air bases worldwide. It is catered towards single Airman, squadrons and other units, but is open to anyone who is authorized to use Air Force Morale, Welfare and Recreation programs.
BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan -- Warrior ethos has long been a part of the Air Force culture. It exhibits a hardiness of spirit, and moral and physical courage. Airmen deployed to Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, not only invoke these attributes but build them in each other daily.
Tech. Sgt. Ginger Bell is deployed from the 60th Force Support Squadron at Travis Air Force Base, California where she serves as the food service production manager. While at Bagram Airfield, she acts as the 455th Force Support Squadron, non-appropriated funds custodian and volunteer resource program coordinator.

Skip to comments.Cigars expected to be targeted by FDA regulation
Posted on 03/24/2013 6:06:43 PM PDT by markomalley
Nearly four years after it began regulating cigarettes, the Food and Drug Administration is poised to extend its reach to a broader range of tobacco products. At the top of that list: cigars, which have experienced a boom in recent years even as cigarette sales have declined, in part because of growing popularity among young people.
Anti-tobacco advocates and industry representatives widely expect the agency to require changes in the marketing and manufacturing of cigars. But the central question remains: What kind of cigars will the FDA target, and how?
On one end of the spectrum are the hand-rolled Cohibas and Arturo Fuentes that stock the humidors of high-end cigar shops and are favored by aficionados who dont blink at paying top dollar. On the other are the convenience-store brands that appeal primarily to young smokers, such as 59-cent blueberry Swisher Sweets, peach-flavored White Owl Cigarillos, Phillies Blunts Sour Apple and menthol Cheyenne little cigars that are barely distinguishable from cigarettes.
Public health experts and some anti-tobacco lawmakers are pressing the FDA to regulate all cigars, but they mostly worry about the inexpensive, flavored varieties that have proliferated in recent years. Such cigars are marketed aggressively and have resulted in high school kids and young adults being twice as likely as their older counterparts to be cigar smokers, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids said in a recent report.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Regulate my back yard FDA, and kiss my fuzzy butt while you are at it.
The ATF should leverage back on the FDA. Meanwhile the DEA is worried about losing power and influence as medical marijuana goes over to regulation by the FDA-ATFM
Can't this MARXIST government just leave people alone?
When do we say enough is enough? When?
Some yutes use "blunt" cigars to smoke weed.
Since Nanny Bloomberg's 32+ oz drink exempted 40 oz. bottles of malt liquor and Barack Obama's "flavored tobacco ban" exempted menthols, I assume blunts will not be regulated either.
It's a HARD LIFE alreadys.
What's that mean?
In ten years, I will have the best tasting cigars in the Western Hemisphere (Connecticut River Valley wrapper, BTW).
But if the Gov't (most likely with Mike Bloomberg leading the charge) wants to take them away...well, come ahead and frikken try.
I'll pour the officers a very large Coke and offer them a cigar (cigars go well with Coke)...but that's all they get.
Is Monica going to be in charge of cigar regulation?
I've often wondered why more people don't grow their own.
I've got the time and the willingness to extend a finger of civil unrest toward DC, and that's why I do it. That, and I'm cheap.
The "Saturday Night Special" of cigars, eh? And there's the threat of scary-looking Assault Cigars. . .
Tobacco Growing Information
Raising tobacco is very easy. The seeds you received should be started inside in flats. In northern states, start the seeds 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Tobacco can be ready to harvest for curing about 60 days after transplanting, therefore it can be raised in almost any state. If raising more than one variety of tobacco, use separate flats. A mixture of peat humus and potting soil should be used. Potting soil only can be used if you select a high grade of commercial potting soil. Place the mixture into the flats, soak the soil with water and allow the excess water to drain off. The next day, sprinkle the tobacco seeds onto the surface of the damp soil. Do not cover the seeds as they need light for germination. Tobacco seeds are very tiny, so be careful to spread the seeds evenly. Keep the soil damp being careful not to wash the seeds around when you water. You will begin to notice sprouts in about two weeks. Transplant outside after all danger of frost is past.
If you have a moderate growing season and can start the seeds outside, try to sow the seeds where leaves or wood has been burned. The plants will thrive in these spots. Tobacco requires a lot of nitrogen and potash which is supplied by wood ashes. The ashes from charcoal grills are also beneficial. I recommend applying a good brand of garden fertilizer to the area where the plants will be grown. Working in rotted manure is very good for the plants. Never raise tobacco plants in the same spot in the garden for over a few years at a time as tobacco plants will totally deplete the nutrients in the soil.
You should space the tobacco plants about 2 ft. apart in rows 3 ft. apart when practical. The plants are large enough to transplant when the largest leaves are 2" or larger. Always transplant outside in late evening or when it is cloudy and overcast. Water plants thoroughly after transplanting and water daily each day until plants have become established. When growing in tubs, limit the number of plants grown. Tobacco plants need to be exposed to full sun while growing.
Tobacco roots grow quickly and often close to the surface. Be careful around plants when hoeing or cultivating around them. Try not to disturb the soil anymore than necessary. As the plant begins growing, remove all suckers as they will sap the plants growth.
No. She's in charge of the humidor.
It's easy enough to grow. It's the aging and fermentation that's the tricky part.
I thought premium cigar use was declining. Apparently I'm very wrong because consumption is climbing back up into rates not seen since the mid-'90s. Something else to worry about finding and hoarding!
Yeah, but is it a High Capacity Humidor?
That is a question that goes unanswered with blank stares from so-called "progressives" that I personally know. When will they just leave us the hell alone??
I've noticed a lot more people in the shop I frequent looking at cigars than just picking up cigarettes lately. Especially the 20 something crowd. With the price of cigarettes shooting up so high, might as well get something with flavor.
Two of the oldest, best and cheapest places to buy premium cigars on the web:
I bought a bunch of old cigar presses the last time I was in New Orleans. I may be tempted to put them to a use other than wall hangings if things turn sour.
I am so tired of this liberal invocation of nanny state-ism. I have been spending some time in Northern Luzon, which has huge tobacco growing enterprises, results from the Spanish. Copenhagen ran out and is 9.20USD a can in Manila. The local commercial hand rolled from Tabacalera are nice smokes and a great value by US pricing, however I found hand rolled panatellas in a market where I buy them in a bundle of 50 for about a penny a piece. Expat is starting to come to my lips these days. I miss my hunting and fly fishing and the geography of the USA, but am so disappointed in the political crap and liberals in general.
An acceptable cigar will cost between $5 to $10 which can account for a steep excise tax.
Its the soil, climate and seed and of course some sweet senoritas to roll em on their thighs. Otherwise you will might as well buy a White Owl at the 7-11.
When the pensions stop coming. Meanwhile, just keep bending over.
Pretty much, except almost all machine made cigars contain a variety of added chemicals like cigarettes do. There used to be a small number of machine made brands that contained 100% tobacco with no additives.
It's also a question of just nicotine delivery versus the pleasurable experience.
And then there's the taxes thing.
Not to worry, the last thing I'm burning will be a store-bought machine made. Muchly prefer the hand-rolled from DR.
I have had a box of small machine mades, from a small maker in DR that I personally know, that uses their own 100% cigar tobacco from their hand roll trimmings and that has no chemical. The catch is I have to buy them at the Santiago factory as they are mostly local consumed.
Nanny State PING!
Thanks for the ping!
No, that would imply there is freedom in this nation that was founded on that principle.
how did you like the macanudo golds? I bought some rocky patel cigars from http://www.seriouscigars.com/Rocky-Patel_Cigars_list You might try those too before we get taxed to death on everything!
lets hope so I hear she likes a large ring gauge!
Man I never realized that it was that easy to get tobacco to grow. Now To find a Cuban Roller and some cuban seed!
Then there's E-Cigs.
I think http://www.thompsoncigar.com/ is the oldest you can actually see on their wiki page that they are one of the oldest mail order companies in the USA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_Cigar
I personally like http://www.seriouscigars.com they have a good selection and availability is good they ship promptly. They also will throw a humidification pillow in the box to keep the cigars moist.
http://www.cigarsinternational.com/ is another one I have purchased from and had a good experience.
I prefer serious but I think that's just cause I have dealt with them the most.
I wonder what brand Chuck's beard smokes!
Wonder where that cigar is nowadays. Could get quite a price at auction.
I have tried a few e cigs but I just cant get in to them. they just don't taste like real tobacco to me. I bought one of those Blu ones and it works great but the taste is just not what I expected.
Used to be that Holt's was one of the more dignified places to buy cigars, but they've gone all JR, too. Holt's is a good source for top brands others seem always out of!
Speaking of JR, they've been owned by Altadis for a few years now. Not quite what they were.
And there's also
Both good companies.
I've never found Thompson even competitive except on specials, where they do offer some excellent deals.
Shop and compare, but remember: A low price on something that's always out of stock isn't really a bargain!

Fat Boys on Great Wall Help Harley Cut Yields: Corporate Finance
Rising profits at Harley-Davidson Inc. are encouraging bond investors to lend to the biggest U.S. motorcycle maker at the lowest interest rates on record, further expanding the Milwaukee-based company's margins.
The 105-year-old company, whose Chief Executive Officer Keith Wandell rode a motorcycle on the Great Wall of China as part of an enthusiasts' rally in April, is paying a 2.7 percent rate on $400 million of five-year notes sold last week. The issue follows an upgrade by Standard & Poor's to BBB+ from BBB on Jan. 25, the first increase since 2004, as the maker of Fat Boy bikes reversed a four-year decline in sales.
Investors approve of Wandell's plans to improve profits by lowering labor costs, pruning dealerships, expanding international sales and restoring the brand's high-end cachet. The extra yield investors demand to hold Harley-Davidson bonds instead of Treasuries has been little changed over the past year at about 278 basis points, while spreads on all U.S. automotive industry bonds widened 67 basis points over the period.
"Harley is a great turnaround story from a credit perspective," said Hitin Anand, an analyst at bond researcher CreditSights Inc. "They took the downtime in their volume to restructure the operations and that's paying off," Anand said in a telephone interview from New York.
Previous Low
The motorcycle maker previously sold debt in March, when it issued $450 million of 3.875 percent, five-year notes, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The lowest prior coupon was 3.625 percent on five-year debt sold in November 2003.
Demand for the latest issue was so strong that the company was able to narrow the spread to 195 basis points from initial guidance of about 210, while boosting the size of the offering from $300 million, Bloomberg data show. Bob Klein, a Harley spokesman, said he couldn't comment on the bond sale.
Harley had $2.8 billion of long-term debt on Sept. 25, according to its latest quarterly filing. Three bond issues totaling $1.65 billion will mature by 2017 and the lowest coupon is 3.875 percent, Bloomberg data show.
The highest coupon is 15 percent, on $303 million of bonds that remain from a $600 million issue sold in February 2009 amid the height of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and Harley's then-largest shareholder, Davis Selected Advisers Inc.
Harley said in a statement at the time it would use the money to give customers loans to buy its motorcycles. The company bought back $297 million of the notes in 2010, paying about 128 cents on the dollar, it said in the latest quarterly filing.
'It Was Armageddon'
"It was Armageddon out there," said Christopher Brown, who helps manage $2.5 billion as chief investment officer at Pax World Management Corp. Harley had to pay more to borrow money than it could earn on the loans, he said in a telephone interview from Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Brown said he bought $2 million of Harley's $400 million of 5.25 percent bonds due December 2012 for about 78 cents on the dollar in January 2009. The debt now trades for about 103 cents, according to Bloomberg Valuation data.
If Harley uses the new bonds to refinance debt due in December, it will save about $10 million a year in interest, Brown said. "They should be able to put that money back out there and earn a pretty decent spread," he said.
Labor Contracts
Wandell, who joined Harley two months after it sold the 15 percent bonds, has "definitely done a good job of turning things around," Brown said. The CEO, who previously worked for auto-parts maker Johnson Controls Inc., is altering labor contracts, allowing the company to hire at lower wages and get greater operational flexibility.
The process started with agreements with unionized employees in Harley's York, Pennsylvania, facility followed by similar deals in Wisconsin and Missouri. "All the credit goes to Wandell because he was completely involved in the negotiations," said Anand at CreditSights.
The company has surpassed analysts' earnings estimates for seven of the past eight quarters, Bloomberg data show. Worldwide sales increased 11 percent in the fourth quarter, according to a Jan. 24 statement. The company had raised prices on its bikes for the first time in four years in July, while introducing models to attract women and other new riders.
"We have been devoting considerable attention and resources to markets like India and China," Klein, the Harley spokesman said in a telephone interview. "We see those as having strong long-term potential even if volumes are not high in the short term."
'Big Driver'
The company added 35 new dealers internationally in 2011 including places like China and India, part of a plan to increase the number by as much as 150 from the 2009 level.
"The opportunity is tremendous for them overseas," said Pax World Management's Brown. "It's going to be a big driver of their growth going forward. People that want the American experience would certainly look at these motorcycles."
Harley-Davidson shares have gained 12 percent over the past year, compared with a 2.4 percent rise in the S&P 500 index, Bloomberg data show.
William Harley and Arthur Davidson sold their first bike in 1903, and the company was incorporated four years later, according to its website.
To fuel its international expansion the company also supports riding groups to promote the brand. The CEO's rally to the Great Wall last year was one such effort as Harley plans to drive international motorcycle unit sales to more than 40 percent of its total.
Harley has also reduced its dealerships by 10 percent, dropping underperforming outlets, mostly in urban areas. Wandell is encouraging dealers to improve stores and customer service to a level befitting premium bikes that can sell for more than $35,000.
"They have realized they are not going to have the same demand they once had," said Michael Millman at Millman Research Associates. "It is the brand that matters and they will get benefits from the high-end placement."

Auto page turn great!
Wheels on the bus and old McDonald include auto page turn which is great for my son. He doesn't have functional use of his hands so he can watch this independently. I wish itsy bitsy spider had this option too. This is great for children with cortical visual impairment. The images are simple and the music and graphics are so fun. Thanks for a wonderful app! I love being able to record my voice too so I can sing to him.

The School of Hard Knocks
'Like so many other North American sportsmen," Jay Atkinson writes, "the first rugby match I ever saw became the first one I ever played in." That was more than 30 years ago, when he was a philosophy major at Acadia University in Nova Scotia in search of experience and curious to try a new sport. Now a novelist and journalist in his 50s, at an age when sensible men have long ago hung up their boots, he is still playing what he regards as the best game in the world. As he recounts in "Memoirs of a Rugby-Playing Man," he has turned out in almost 600 matches and suffered more injuries (including torn ligaments, broken bones and a detached retina) than many of us have had holidays. Rugby, he reckons, became "like a good marriage." I know a lot of people who would second that. Some have wives who might complain that there were three in the marriage and that they came third, even a poor third.
There is a lot more rugby played in the U.S. and Canada than most people in those countries, and most beyond their shores, probably suppose. It is probable that many Americans don't even know that the U.S. is the current Olympic rugby champion. A team of converted football players beat France to win the title in 1924, and rugby hasn't featured in the Olympics since (though it will return, in the lightning-fast seven-a-side form, in Brazil in 2016).
The sport—reputedly at least—derives from a moment in an 1823 football game at Rugby School in the Midlands of England, when a boy called William Webb Ellis "picked up the ball and ran." It took root in Britain and Ireland, in many countries of what used to be the British Empire, in Europe, especially in France and now Italy, in Japan and countless other places, but in the U.S. it has remained a poor relation. This is because, after the rugby game was exported in the mid-19th century, it soon took a different form in the States, becoming American football as the laws diverged.
Rugby is now professional in its upper echelons. For most of its history it was amateur, and the amateur status was jealously defended, even if often surreptitiously infringed. (It was a dispute in the north of England in the 1890s, about paying players for time away from work, that produced a schismatic variant known as "rugby league.") By the 1990s, the combination of air travel, which made frequent long-distance international competition possible, and television, which brought unprecedented sums of money into the game, had made professionalism at the top level inevitable. But the heart of the game remains in club rugby played for fun, if also with utter commitment, and it is this heart that beats strongly through Mr. Atkinson's memoirs.
After college, he played while in graduate school at the University of Florida; since then, he has played for a variety of serious amateur clubs including Amoskeag, in New Hampshire, Burlington Centaurs of Ontario, Canada, and Los Angeles's Vandals F.C. Rugby and everything that goes with what one may call the culture of rugby have been constants. I know a lot of people like him, here in the Scottish Borders where I live, and in my own club, Selkirk. The club has produced international players—indeed, we have a local boy, who came through the town's youth club and then the Selkirk club, who is now playing professional rugby for Edinburgh and Scotland. But there are lots of people who have played as amateurs till their knees or some other part of the body gave out and who continue to serve the club in different ways, enthusiasm for the game unabated. Mr. Atkinson, who professes to be "determined to wear out all my stock parts" would have no difficulty in recognizing them as of his kind.
For, as he makes clear in this exhilarating book, rugby is a fraternity, even if at times on the field of play the brotherly relationship is like that between Cain and Abel. Yet, if the brothers knock hell out of each other during the match, they come together in the bar afterward—where indeed it's not unknown, in Mr. Atkinson's memory, for them to knock hell out of each other once again. For him, it is the whole rugby life, the sense of belonging to a close-knit community, that delights. This is a book suffused with happiness, and that is something rare.
Mr. Atkinson's prose gallops along, full of zest: "Playing in a rugby match can feel like being trapped in a tipped-over phone booth while a gang fight rages all around you." He seems to have a total recall of every game he has ever played, which had me doubtful, since even the best players sometimes remember very little of a hard game, until he revealed that he keeps a notebook and writes up an account of matches. More remarkably still, he retains vivid and detailed memories of post-match activities in which, frequently, enough beer is downed, often chasing harder liquor, to bring about oblivion for almost anyone.
Mr. Atkinson has an enviable ability to evoke physical action and is honest with himself and the reader, admitting for instance that every rugby player knows moments of fear, sometimes paralyzing fear. " 'This is the existential moment,' I said to Piercey. 'When dread intersects with the potential for reward. When fear crosses the line into desire.' 'The existential moment,' said Piercey, stretching his hamstrings. 'I can dig it.' " Not every rugby player, perhaps not many of them, would recognize the phrase "the existential moment," but all, one way or another, "dig it." Mr. Atkinson has a keen eye for character too, and part of the pleasure of his book is to be found in his evocation of the often eccentric and even crazy characters with whom he has taken the field, such as Conrad, who "had worn an earring since the age of thirteen, been beaten up by skinheads in London. . . chain-smoked Marlboros. . . and was truly a child-citizen of the world, the living embodiment of easy come, easy go."
Mr. Atkinson has written a hymn of praise for the rugby game and the rugby community that will ring true to anyone who has played rugby at any level, and will grip even those who haven't. There is only one more thing to be said: Any boy who reads the book and thinks rugby is the game for him, and the life for him, would be well advised to keep it away from his loving mother. She would certainly try to dissuade him from going Jay Atkinson's merry way.
—Mr. Massie is the author of some 20 novels. He writes a rugby column for The Scotsman newspaper.

Militants armed with guns and rockets killed two members of a Pakistani pro-government militia and wounded two policemen in a tribal district on the Afghanistan border, officials said Friday.
The militant attack in the northwestern district of Bajaur came just days after US officials said they hoped to open peace talks with the Afghan Taliban in Doha, capital of the Gulf state of Qatar.
About a dozen insurgents attacked the homes of two tribal elders near Khar, the main town in Bajaur, late Thursday, administration official Abdul Haseeb said.
The two elders, who were members of a pro-government tribal militia, were killed and two tribal policemen were wounded, Haseeb told AFP.
A security official in the area confirmed the attack and the casualties. "Their targets were the tribal elders," he said.
Pakistan has for years been fighting homegrown Taliban insurgents in its northwestern border areas with Afghanistan.
A US-led NATO combat mission across the border is due to withdraw next year after a 12-year Afghan Taliban insurgency.

As result of technology scaling, single-chip multicore power density increases and its spatial and temporal workload variation leads to temperature hot-spots, which may cause nonuniform ageing and accelerated chip failure. These critical issues can be tackled by closed-loop thermal and reliability management policies. Model predictive controllers (MPC) outperform classic feedback controllers since they are capable of minimizing performance loss while enforcing safe working temperature. Unfortunately, MPC controllers rely on a priori knowledge of thermal models and their complexity exponentially grows with the number of controlled cores. In this paper, we present a scalable, fully distributed, energy-aware thermal management solution for single-chip multicore platforms. The model-predictive controller complexity is drastically reduced by splitting it in a set of simpler interacting controllers, each one allocated to a core in the system. Locally, each node selects the optimal frequency to meet temperature constraints while minimizing the performance penalty and system energy. Comparable performance with state-of-the-art MPC controllers is achieved by letting controllers exchange a limited amount of information at runtime on a neighborhood basis. In addition, we address model uncertainty by supporting learning of the thermal model with a novel distributed self-calibration approach that matches well the controller architecture.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:23 PM GMT on September 05, 2008
Tropical Storm Hanna is becoming better organized as it approaches landfall in South Carolina early Saturday morning. The latest 7:11 am EDT center fix from the Hurricane Hunters found a central pressure of 980 mb, down 5 mb from the 5 am reading. Peak winds were mostly in the 55-65 mph range. Radar animations from the Melbourne radar show that Hanna has built about 1/3 of an eyewall. There has been a slight increase in the organization of Hanna's spiral bands, and the amount and intensity of the precipitation has increased. The outermost spiral bands of Hanna are spreading intermittent heavy rains along the east coast of Florida, and these rains will spread into Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina later today. Wind shear of 20 knots continues to interfere with Hanna's organization, and there is also plenty of dry air interfering.
Figure 1. Latest radar image of Hanna.
The forecast for Hanna
A landfall in South Carolina is the unanimous consensus of the the computer models, and this landfall will occur near midnight tonight. Hanna is a large storm with winds well removed from the center. Both North Carolina and South Carolina will see winds of 50-60 mph from this storm. Given that Hanna is so large and fast-moving, the entire mid-Atlantic and New England coast should see sustained winds near tropical storm force (39 mph) this weekend as Hanna zooms northeast.
The wind shear is forecast to remain in the moderate to marginal range, 15-20 knots, over the remainder of Hanna's life. There is a large amount of dry continental air lying between Hanna and South Carolina, which will continue to cause problems for the storm. However, sea surface temperatures are a warm 29°C. None of the intensity models forecast Hanna will become a hurricane, but given the recent increase in the storm's organization, I forecast a 40% chance that Hanna will be a Category 1 hurricane at landfall. Rapid intensification of Hanna is very unlikely, and the strongest I can see this storm getting is a Category 1 storm with top winds of 80 mph. The most likely top winds at landfall will be 70 mph, just below hurricane strength.

The U.S. is getting pummeled this hurricane season
With hurricane season less than half over, it's clear that the U.S. is taking an unusually harsh beating this year. Already, we've had two Category 2 hurricanes (Dolly and Gustav), two strong tropical storms (Edouard and Fay), and now a third strong tropical storm or Category 1 hurricane (Hanna). Hanna is the fifth consecutive named storm to hit the U.S., tying a record. The other years this happened (kudos to NOAA's Ryan Sharp for compiling this):
2004 (Frances, Gaston, Hermine, Ivan, and Jeanne)
2002 (Edouard, Fay, Gustav, Hanna, and Isidore)
1985 (Gloria, Henri, Isabel, Juan, and Kate)
1979 (Bob, Claudette, David, Elena, and Frederic)
1971 (Doria, Edith, Fern, Ginger, Heidi)
There's good chance that Ike will make it six consecutive strikes.
Hurricane Ike remains a large and dangerous Category 3 hurricane today, despite the presence of about 25 knots of hostile wind shear. Infrared satellite loops show that the cloud tops are not warming over the core of the hurricane, but the storm has a squashed appearance. Ike is flattened on the northwest side, where there is no upper-level outflow. This is due to 25 knots of wind shear impacting the storm, thanks to strong upper-level winds out of the northwest. The shear is enabling dry air to penetrate deeper into the core of the storm, and the shear and dry air have made it into the inner core and are now disrupting the eyewall (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Microwave satellite image of Ike from 7:48 am EDT 9/5/08. Ike's eye is getting tough to pick out, thanks to wind shear eroding away the northwest past of the eyewall. The eye is the blue dot at center; most of Ike's heavy thunderstorms (red colors) are on the southeast side of the hurricane. Image credit: Navy Research Lab, Monterey.
Track forecast for Ike
Ike has begun a west-southwest motion in recent hours, which increases the probability that the hurricane will enter the Southeast Bahama Islands on Sunday. The computer models which called for this more southerly path include the GFDL and HWRF models. With its latest run (06Z, 2am EDT) the GFDL takes Ike through the Southeast Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands as a Category 3 hurricane early Sunday morning. The HWRF has the same track, but makes Ike a Category 4. The two models then diverge, with the GFDL taking Ike into eastern Cuba as a Category 3 hurricane on Monday, and along the length of Cuba into the Florida Keys as a Category 2 hurricane on Wednesday morning. The HWRF has Ike skirting the northern coast of Cuba, arriving at Key Largo, Florida as a Category 4 hurricane on Tuesday night.
Considerable uncertainty surrounds the path of Ike once the storm reaches the vicinity of South Florida, since a trough of low pressure capable of turning Ike to the north will be passing to the north. A turn to the north over South Florida, or just on either side of the state is possible. One possible track, similar to the NOGAPS model forecast, takes Ike near or over Miami, then northwards towards North Carolina. This is a track similar to Hurricane Floyd of 1999. Another feasible track, similar to the HWRF solution, is like Hurricane Donna of 1960, which blasted through the Keys as a Category 4 hurricane, then up the west coast of Florida.
It is also possible that the trough of low pressure will not be strong enough to turn Ike to the north, and that the storm will enter the Gulf of Mexico. A second trough of low pressure would then turn Ike north, resulting in a n eventual landfall on the Gulf Coast between the Florida Panhandle and Texas. This is the forecast of the ECMWF and GFS models. My current thinking is along these lines:
20% chance Ike will hit the east coast of Florida.
30% chance Ike will hit the Florida Keys.
30% chance Ike will hit Cuba. If this happens, there is 30% chance it would miss Florida and head into the Gulf of Mexico.
10% chance that Ike will miss Florida, but hit further north along the U.S. coast.
10% chance Ike will curve north out to sea and not hit the U.S.
Overall, I'd give the Gulf Coast a 70% chance of getting hit (including the west coast of Florida).
Florida Keys are at high risk
The Florida Keys are highly vulnerable to hurricanes, and are at great risk from Ike. With only one road connecting the Keys to the mainland, a 48-72 hours are required to evacuate the Keys. Tropical storm force winds can be expected in the Keys on Tuesday afternoon, which means officials in the Keys may need to start ordering evacuations on Saturday. This would likely begin as an evacuation of visitors and tourists on Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.
Figure 3. Forecast tracks for Ike from the latest run of the GFS model ensemble. The ensemble is generated by initializing the GFS model with 21 slightly different initial conditions, then plotting where Ike goes with each model run. There are a lot of possibilities! The white line is what the operational version of the GFS model predicts. The GFS ensemble is not available as quickly as the regular operation version of the GFS.
Intensity forecast for Ike
Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) have warmed to 29.0°C and will warm an extra 0.5°C over the next three days. However, the shear is forecast to be unfavorable for intensification through Saturday morning: 20-30 knots. The high shear may be able to reduce Ike to a Category 1 storm by Saturday morning. The shear has eaten its way into the northwestern eyewall, as seen in recent microwave imagery (Figure 2). Re-intensification is likely beginning on Saturday afternoon, when the shear is forecast to fall below 15 knots. It should take Ike at least a day to recover to Category 3 strength, meaning that the Southeast Bahamas may be spared a major hurricane. The shear is forecast to remain below 15 knots Saturday through Tuesday.
If Ike enters the central and western Bahamas, the oceanic heat content reaches a maximum--80 kJ/cm^2, similar to the levels of heat content that fueled Gustav's rapid intensification south of Cuba. Ike may also be moving under an upper-level anticyclone then, which would provide very favorable conditions for intensification. If Ike hits Florida, it will probably be at Category 3 strength or higher, assuming the storm misses Cuba. If Ike hits Cuba first, Florida can expect a Category 1 or 2 hurricane.
Ike's projected damage
The primary danger in the Bahama Islands will be wind damage, since the storm surge typically flows around small islands. However, a Category 4 or 5 hurricane is capable of generating a maximum storm surge of 13 feet in the Turks and Caicos Islands on the right side of the eye, if it makes a direct hit on an island.
On Haiti and in Cuba, there is the potential for very heavy rains of 4-8 inches or higher, beginning on Saturday night. These rains could be particularly devastating for northern Haiti, where the ground is already saturated due to Hurricane Hanna's rains. Hanna killed at least 137 people in Haiti, and over 600,000 people need assistance there.
Tropical Storm Josephine continues to struggle against the twin effects of wind shear and dry air. The models are split on whether Josephine will survive. If it does, the storm may be a threat to Bermuda in a week or so.
Elsewhere in the tropics
The GFS model has considerably toned down its forecasts of tropical waves coming off the coast of Africa that develop. It now forecasts that just one new tropical storm will form over the next two weeks.
Why hurricanes recurve
The prevailing winds over the U.S. are from west to east, but in the tropics, they blow east to west. This pattern arises because we live on the surface of a spinning sphere that is heated unequally at the poles and equator. When a hurricane forms in the tropics, it moves east to west with the prevailing winds. However, if the storm gets far enough north, it will suddenly encounter a flow of air moving the opposite direction. This will force the hurricane to move northwards and then eastwards, as the storm gets caught up in the west to east flow of air. The boundary between these two air flow regimes fluctuates, depending upon the position of the jet stream. When a low pressure system moves across the U.S., the jet stream dips to the south, bringing the prevailing west to east winds over the U.S. closer to the tropics. Thus, hurricanes are more prone to recurve to the north when there is an approaching low pressure system passing to their north.

My editor assigned this to me because he knows I like basketball. I need to take up jai alai instead. There's got to be fewer tired, formulaic romantic comedies about jai alai, right?
Facts of the Case
Leslie Wright (Queen Latifah) is a successful physical therapist who scores the job of her life when she's tasked with helping superstar NBA point guard Scott McKnight (Common) rehab from a catastrophic knee injury. The two form a bond and the only thing standing between them and Movie Happiness is Leslie's sexy, superficial best friend who's eyeing the high life as the spouse of a pro athlete.
The Evidence
I'm not going to keep you in suspense. Just Wright isn't very good. It's relatively innocuous and the characters are pleasant enough, but the whole enterprise just feels so airy and inconsequential it will certainly evaporate from your memory the second the end credits roll.
I sort of wish I liked it. I'm not anti-romcom, and, yes, I do like basketball, and Queen Latifah is charismatic screen presence. Also, it's rated PG, a rarity these days, especially for a live-action feature. But Just Wright wasn't interested in giving me a good time, settling instead for a predictable plot—spiced up by the occasional character decision that makes no sense (really, he's going to take her back?!)—and a surprising vacuum of laughs. I know the film was more concerned with the romance than the levity, but you've got have a little bit of humor to wash down the sentimentality a tad easier.
Queen Latifah and Common had some decent chemistry together, though it seemed a lot more "friendly" than "sexy," ironic considering Latifah's character is constantly lamenting the fact that all the guys look at her as solid friend material instead of something more. Latifah is the strong part of the tandem, dialing down the spunk and opting for a more laid-back, introverted performance. She's extremely likable, and helps compensate for Common's occasional stiffness.
In the end, this thing wraps up pretty much how you'd expect it to, albeit in goofy fashion, when Scott achieves the requisite Romantic Epiphany during an interview with Stuart Scott. Oof. (I was tempted to employ a spoiler tag, but, really, the only way you wouldn't know what was coming in this movie is if you were recently unfrozen.)
Fox's Blu-ray is just as milquetoast. The 2.40:1 (AVC @32 MBPS) transfer is okay, though not mind-blowing in its resolution. The picture quality lacks the high-end sheen we tend to see on the big-time releases and the colors struck me as rather dull. A noticeable upgrade over DVD? Sure, but not by a lot. The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio is clean, but bored with all the front-loaded dialogue. Extras: featurettes on the NBA's involvement in the film, Common's role as a basketball player, a standard-issue making-of and a gag reel.
Closing Statement
It's no slam dunk. But it's not a brick. Let's call Just Wright a technical free throw.

The Lust and Indulgence of Terry RodgersFebruary 09, 2015
'In my work, I attempt to reflect my sense of the times we are living in, and both how richly interesting they are and how difficult it is for most of us to navigate their uncharted waters. There is a great push and pull, the lure and the repulsion, the fiction and the real, the known and the unknown. And we live in this swirl of delicate gestures, driving desires, fantasy, economic complexity and interdependence, hierarchical separations, isolation and hope. I am trying to render some notion of this rich fabric.
One of the things I'm trying to get at is the pure complexity of our world. One aspect of this complexity is the super-mediated nature of our experience. Another focus in my work, is that in the midst of all the complexity, there is incredible isolation, longing and hope. But this work is also about the viewer—how we interpret and react to what we see, and how our own lenses determine our perceptions. We might just be subjected to the myth-making machinery of our minds.
Importantly, however, is that nothing I create is meant to judge or criticize. I am merely looking closely at who we are, the density of influences upon us, the choices we make, and the recognitions that occur in trying to comprehend a universe with no signposts.' —Terry Rodgers

The goal as laid down by President John F. Kennedy was simple—land a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s. But, before men could be launched aboard the Apollo spacecraft, test flights had to be made, including one on this day in history.
Before May 28th, 1964, the Saturn I rocket had five test flights, but SA-6 or A-101, was the first of these to carry a boilerplate Apollo spacecraft. This was not a fully functional craft, but featured the shape, weight and design that a completed one would.
After a pair of aborted attempts, SA-6 blasted off from Cape Canaveral. One engine cut off early about two minutes into the launch, but by burning other engines slightly longer, the flight went off without a hitch otherwise.
The spacecraft made over 50 orbits around the Earth. Four more Saturn I test flights would follow, all a important small step in helping American astronauts reach the moon by 1969 as part of the Apollo program.

Two-Thirds of Marion County Fired Teachers Hired Back
Almost three- quarters of Marion County's first- year teachers were laid off because of budget concerns two months ago. But now most of them have been hired back.
The district announced that it gave layoff notices to 261 employees. Both teachers and support workers as they tried to fill a nearly 20 million dollar budget deficit.
161 of the notices were given to first year teachers.
Superintendent George Tomyn says as of Thursday they recalled 117 of them due to resignations and retirements.
And that number could go up.
Parents, like megan holderber, are pleased with the news, "I think it's great the more teaches they keep around the better there's nothing more important than the education of the children."
"I think it's a smart move on his side cause with all the teachers going out i don't know how many parents would be outraged and not want to send kids to that school," said Aris Chapparrl.
Tomyn says the 44 other first year teachers who have not been hired back; will have their information kept on file for a year.

Last updated June 3, 2016. Created on April 18, 2010.
Edited by puneetsharma, mparker17, wildflower_0002, eli-f. Log in to edit this page.
Content can be displayed differently depending on whether it's in a list with similar content, in search results, or being viewed in full. For example, content displayed in a list is typically trimmed so it doesn't take up too much space on the page and may only display the most important fields.
What is a view mode?
Drupal refers to the different ways a piece of content can be displayed as View modes (also called Display modes, or Build modes in Drupal 6). All entities, including user profiles, taxonomy terms, and blocks (D8 only) have at least one view mode, plus a Default view mode which is used when a view mode has not been explicitly set. You can use the Entity view modes module or the Display Suite module to create your own view modes.
Hiding, showing and ordering fields and their labels
For each view mode, Drupal allows you to:
- show and hide fields,
- change the order that fields are rendered in,
- hide or show the field's label, and,
- change how certain types of fields are displayed (for example, whether a field's content is trimmed).
Modules like Display Suite and Panels also let you set a custom layout for the fields in each view mode.
Changing how nodes are displayed
Drupal lets you set different display settings for each content type. To change how a content type is displayed:
- Navigate to the Content types page (Administer > Structure > Content types).
- In the table, locate the row that contains the content type you wish to change, and click the manage display link. This takes you to the Default view mode settings page.
- At the bottom of the page, in the Custom display settings section, check the checkboxes next to the view modes you want to customize and click Save.
- Once the page re-loads, you will see links under the tabs at the top of the page. There will be a link for each view mode you selected in the previous step. Clicking one of these links will take you to a screen where you can hide, show, reorder, and customize fields.
Out-of-the-box, Drupal defines five view modes for nodes:
- Full content
- The most detailed view of a node. You see this when you visit the node's URL.
- Teaser
- A short summary of the node, intended to catch visitors' interest so they will view the Full content. Displayed on many of Drupal's default listing pages, such as the front page and taxonomy term listing pages.
- How the node is displayed in RSS feeds. Visitors or webservices subscribed to the RSS feed will see content that looks like this.
- Search index
- The content that Drupal's internal search sees when it goes to index the page (search engines such as Google typically see the Full content view mode).
- Typically, you only customize this view mode if you want to hide data from Drupal's internal search.
- Search result
- A short summary of the node when Drupal's internal search displays it as a search result (search engines such as Google generate their own search result view, typically from the Full content view mode).
Taxonomy terms
- Navigate to the Taxonomy page (Administer > Structure > Taxonomy).
- In the table, locate the row that contains the vocabulary you wish to change, and click the edit vocabulary link.
- Click the Manage display tab. This takes you to the Default view mode settings page. Since Drupal only defines one view mode for taxonomy terms, you may hide, show, reorder, and customize fields here.
Out-of-the-box, Drupal defines one view mode for taxonomy terms:
- Taxonomy term page
- The most detailed view of a taxonomy term. You see this when you click on a taxonomy term link from a node page, or you visit the URL of the taxonomy term directly.
- You can only customize the upper portion of the taxonomy term page (the part that contains data about the term itself). Drupal displays a listing of all nodes tagged with the term (in their Teaser view mode) in the lower portion.
- Navigate to the Account settings page (Administer > Configuration > People > Account settings).
- Click the Manage display tab. This takes you to the Default view mode settings page. Since Drupal only defines one view mode for user accounts, you may hide, show, reorder, and customize fields here.
Out-of-the-box, Drupal defines one view mode for user accounts:
- User account
- The most detailed view of a user account. You see this when you log in, or when you visit the URL of the user directly.
Field label display options
Field labels can be displayed in the following ways:
- Above
- The field label is displayed on it's own line above the field value(s).
- Inline
- The field label is displayed before the field value(s), on the same line.
- Visually hidden (Drupal 8 only)
- The field label is hidden for sighted users, but still visible to visitors using assistive technologies like screenreaders.
- If you don't want a field label to show up on the page, this is almost always the best option because it provides context about the data in the field to blind or low-vision users which they may not be able to figure out if the label was Hidden.
- If you're using Drupal 7 and you want to hide content in a similar way, please refer to the section of the Theming guide about Hiding content properly.
- Hidden
- Completely removes the field label for all users.
- Typically, you only choose this if you only have two fields which are supposed to appear as if they are a single field.
Manage Display Page Details
Manage Display page contains a table with 3 columns with following titles:
- Field
- The field column contains all the visible and hidden field names.
- Label
- The label column contains options to show label Above, Inline or Hidden respectively. These values are described above.
- Format
- The format column contains the options to show the field value in different formats. Hidden is the global value which is present in all the format option list, if you choose hidden then it will hide the whole field from showing on the content page.

Drupal 7 teaser length
How exactly do I set the teaser length to 'unlimited' in Drupal 7? In Drupal 6 I use the module 'Teaser by content type'. I understand this feature is now in Drupal core but I cannot find the setting in Drupal 7 beta. Is it there?
Drupal 7 teaser length
In Drupal 7 just change the length limit from 600 to unlimited ( write the word unlimited). It will take effect in future posts. Any prior post would have to be edited and re saved in order for the new length to take effect.
doesn't work
I entered 'unlimited' into the field and saved the settings but that didn't work. I tried 99999 and that didn't work either. What did work was changing the limit to 9999.
change format to "default"
change format to "default" and it wont try to trim at all

Add additional display settings
Is it possible to create additional display settings (view modes) - e.g. "teaser2"?
Any luck??
I also want the same functionality.
Did you get through this?
Use hook_entity_info_alter
You can add extra display modes using hook_entity_info_alter.
Say you have a custom module 'myModule' and want to add a custom view to the node entity:
function myModule_entity_info_alter(&$entity_info) {
$entity_info['node']['view modes']['mymode'] = array('label' => 'My Custom Mode', 'custom settings' => 'TRUE');
Flush caches and this should show up as a customisable view mode on the 'manage display' page of any node content type.

Any way to change the last character on a teaser?
Is there any way to replace, change or edit the "." that a teaser places in the end?
I've been searching anywhere, but I'm just not good with php code...
Bruno Mateus
Changing the last character on a teaser
My answer applies to Drupal 7: As far as a "." being the last character, it depends on how many characters you allow for an automatic Teaser. From the experiments I did, sometimes it ended on a "." and other times it didn't.
To change the number of characters allowed on an automatic teaser for an "article" go to Structure - Content types - Edit - Manage Display - Teaser - edit Trim Length to a different size other than the default 600.
If you are more specific perhaps someone can answer your specific question because I'm afraid my answer is not what you were looking for.
To remove Teaser Drupal 7
Structure->Content types->(Basic Page) Manage Display->CUSTOM DISPLAY SETTINGS uncheck "Teaser"
Removing Teaser
Thanks for this.
I have just discovered that I need to have the module 'Field UI' enabled in order to see the 'Manage Display' options.
Now I would like to know how, with Teasers removed, I can stop both the 'trimmed' and 'full' versions being shown in Preview when editing. Any suggestions?
thanks for this comment.. I knew it was something..
permissions.. some view.. or other..
enabled 'field ui' and I can see the tabs to manage the fields.. simple. but frustrating..
thanks for this post

Removing the teaser on Drupal 7
This works fine, thanks!
I should note that unless you are customizing a site for someone else that wants to remove the Teaser, I would not remove it because it allows for greater flexibility.
Usually and since I rarely use the Teaser on my own personal sites, I post a copy of the whole article in the teaser window so it displays everything.
The reason why I don't remove the Teaser option is because sometimes I want to customize my writing on the front page and write it differently on the "read more" page. I can also place a different photo on the front page and when the reader click on the text link, it shows a more detailed article or a more appropriate photo for the space the full article facilitates. The teaser allows for two different ways of writing the same article -- one for the front page and one for the 'Read more' page.
In other words, if I can keep the Teaser as an option, I always keep it.
( You can also replace the original length of 600 characters to unlimited (just write unlimited)and it will will always post the totality of your article unless you override it. It only takes effect on future posts, so you may have to edit past posts if you want to change their teaser length to the new unlimited limit.)
D7 custom fields appear in content block even when 'hidden'
I've noticed an odd behaviour with Drupal 7 custom fields that I'd appreciate some help with.
I created a new content type, and added two custom fields, let's call them: field_logo (img type) and field_homepage (link type using the link module)
I have installed the CCK Blocks module, so these fields are available as blocks, as I'd like them to appear at the side of the main content. I set these fields to hidden for Default, Full Content and Teaser views, but when I use the blocks admin to create these fields as blocks, they also appear in the Full Content Field area, which means each one appears twice on the page,
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this, and how I can get around it?
Thanks for any help.
Did you ever find out what
Did you ever find out what was causing this? I'm having exactly the same problem.
CCK Blocks
In case anybody else happens upon this, it is actually an issue with CCK Blocks. See http://drupal.org/node/833730 for details.
Fields appearing twice on the page when using CCK Blocks
Don't know if this is a solution for you but take a quick look at step 6 on the cck block instruction page. It might be related to your problem.
Search index - Search Result
When Search index and search result displays settings are used ???
It looks like the Search
It looks like the Search Results settings are to flag whether a field is visible in the search results. For now, the only field I can get to actually show in the results is the Body. None of my added fields will show in the results.
I'm not sure what the Search Index settings are for. My thought is that the fields would show on the Advanced Search page, but this isn't happening for me.
Aye, same issue here - search
Aye, same issue here - search results cant be themed with the available display field types in D7. Same issue is reported here, but not solved atm:
Same Issue - No Custom Display for Search
I am looking at two different D7 sites with diverse settings, one simple and one more complex. Both fail to display any custom settings for Search Results. Both successfully display custom settings for Teaser.
It seems there's a basic switch not turned on somewhere here.
Tom/* Ogden
Search Index and Search result
Select Search index. Save. Whatever field you drag then into the visible part will be indexed. This is useful since you sometimes have fields that should not be searchable, and sometimes fields are hidden in Full content although they still generate some content that should be included in searches.
Remember indexing is done by cron. If you want instant indexing, there's a module that I forgot the name of. Search for it and hope for it having been indexed on this site.
Search result is the view mode for displaying your chosen fields in the search results.
Rearrange display order of title
How would you rearrange the node title such that it is displayed below a body or an image?
Rearrange display order of title?

But no luck...
D7 and custom display view modes
A great tip here is to use Display Suite for D7. Makes using the new UI for displaying fields even better.
Custom Display Settings
The Custom Display Settings option for the Body field is Not Selectable in my Drupal 7 installation. Does anyone know how I can make it be selectable? Is there a way to Reset?
Custom Display Settings Disabled
I'm unable to select the Custom Display Settings on any of my content types. I see the option under Manage Display, but the option isn't clickable, like the function has been disabled. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing?

Multiple "Displays" for one "Field" in Custom Content types
I'm trying to solve the following issue, I have created a custom content type where users shall be able to upload one to many files. I want to display the files with a specific viewer within that content, which I have configured successfully. I also want the content to simultaneously display a table or multiple links to the uploaded files (which I have been able to very easily configure successfully). I have not manage to figure out how to add multiple displays for a single "Field", which could allow me to do this.
Does anyone have suggestions on how I could display these two things at the same time?
Thank you for your help!
Have a look at the custom
Which module?
Hi, was there a specific formatter that you recommended or can this be used to display a single uploaded file in multiple different displays at the same time?
If I want to display the content in this viewer https://drupal.org/project/v3dm and as a direct url to the file, I'm not sure how this could be solved with this..
No its it not a predefined
No its it not a predefined formatter the point with this module is you effectively write your own formatter code which you can do with PHP or with tokens.
I don't know anything about the module you're so you'll have to work out how that is themeing your data but assuming for a moment it uses a theme function then you do something like:
$data = $variables['#items'][0]['uri'];
$output = theme('THEME FUNCTION CALL');
$output .= "DOWNLOAD ME";
return $output;
The other alternative is to create a theme file for the field. Have a look here: https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!field!theme!field.tpl.php/7
Actually now I think about it you could probably do this with a custom block too. If you have a look I'm using this principle on this site.here: http://www.jesus.org.uk/books/fire-our-hearts
My block code looks like this (albeit a drupal 6 site)
if(arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))){
$node = node_load(arg(1));
print l(theme('imagecache', 'book_thumbnail', $node->field_book_thumb[0]['filepath'], '', '', array('class' => 'image-left')). 'Read '.$node->title.' online now in a virtual book', $node->field_book_upload[0]['filepath'], array('html'=>true, 'attributes'=>array('class'=>'read-book clearfix')));
print ''.l('Read online now
as virtual book', file_force_create_url($node->field_book_upload[0]['filepath']), array('html'=>true,'attributes'=>array('class'=>'virtual-book'), 'query' => array('download' => '1'))).'';
print ''.l('Download
as a PDF', file_force_create_url($node->field_book_upload[0]['filepath']), array('html'=>true,'attributes'=>array('class'=>'pdf-download issuu-link-hijacked'), 'query' => array('download' => '1'))).'';
if (is_array($node->field_download_version) && !empty($node->field_download_version[0])) {
foreach ($node->field_download_version as $file) {
print theme('file_force_file', $file);
print '
if (!empty($node->field_buy_link[0]['url'])) {
print ''.l('Buy a copy
from our shop', $node->field_buy_link[0]['url'], array('html'=>true,'attributes'=>array('class'=>'buy-book'))).'';
Essentially I'm using the same field a couple of times to generate a couple of different links
Hope that helps
My field labels do not hide
I have three fields in an event page: Date, body, Event type.
I want the date field tag to display, but have selected hidden in the manage display tab (D7) for the other two fields (in 4 places). But my display still shows
Body: (before the body text)
and the content of the concert type field.
How do I get rid of them?
Oops. I missed the Full Content tab. Cockpit error.
Display Teaser
Once I have defined which fields are displayed for "Teaser", how can I see it on a landing page for instance?
When I add a content on a landing page, the default display is used : what is the way to override it with the teaser display?
