Willis is a city in Montgomery County, Texas, United States, located on the Union Pacific Railroad eight miles north of Conroe in north central Montgomery County.
Willis is located at 30°25′22″N 95°28′44″W / 30.42278°N 95.47889°W (30.422640, -95.478829).[3]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 3.3 square miles (8.5 km2), all of it land.
Willis became a community when the Houston and Great Northern Railroad decided to run a track from Houston to Chicago, and the Willis brothers donated their land in 1870 to the railroad. Willis grew in population after the trains began to travel through the town. There were hotels, dry good stores, and many other successful businesses in the 1870s and 1880s. The tobacco industry played a vital role in Willis' growth and development during that time. Other cash crops of cotton, watermelons, and tomatoes were an important part of the economy through the years. The timber industry, which still plays a role in Willis' economic growth, has been its most stable economic engine for over one hundred years. Since the 1980s, Willis has seen its economic base change from agriculture to services, retail, and manufacturing. It is the gateway to Lake Conroe. Interstate 45 bisects the community. One mile east, U.S. Highway 75 and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail services run parallel to Interstate 45. The George Bush Intercontinental Airport is 35 miles south of Willis. The Montgomery County Airport is 10 miles east of Willis.
Willis has a highly rated school district which has about 400 high school graduates each year. The school district currently has an enrollment of approximately 4000 students. For more information, please visit the Willis Independent School District site at http://wisd.willis.k12.tx.us.
Willis is also a central location for many places of recreational interest in Southeast Texas. Lake Conroe, the Sam Houston National Forest, Huntsville State Park, and golf courses are only some of the attractions.

Overall Experience:
I love Pitt. Best decision in my eighteen years. Visit it and fall in love with Oakland too-- you won't regret it. 18,000 undergrads have a mutual love for our school, and you can feel it in every building.
Campus Food:
The food could be better.
Campus Quality:
Pitt is unique with its tight campus (less walking distances to classes-- more vertical than sprawling) and the Cathedral of Learning, which you must visit AND FALL IN LOVE WITH.
Campus Quality:
There is so much to do on campus! If you aren't into nightlife, there are always programs available through different student organizations.
Off-Campus Dining:
You won't go hungry in the Burgh. Enough said
Pitt should be recognized for it's diversity (in a positive way) more often! I came here from a very rural, homogeneous high school, so moving here has been extremely interesting to meet people from all over the world and from every culture.
Campus Housing:
I'm sure there is room for improvement, but through my visits to other colleges comparable to Pitt, I feel that I've lucked out with the number of luxuries I have at school.
Health & Safety:
Campus police are usually warm and nice and apt to help you. I'm sure the city police are a bit more hardened.
Guys & Girls:
Such diversity! But for the most part, everyone is great regardless of their background. It's really refreshing.
Many of the rules are for our safety, not to make our lives inconvenient.
Pittsburgh is beautiful in the spring, summer, and fall for the most part. I managed to fall in love with it even in the rain and snow. I think that's extremely admirable. The city is equipped to handle bad weather, so the school very rarely closes due to weather.
Off-Campus Housing:
Pitt has a ton of options for kids who no longer want to deal with RAs. However, sometimes finding a decent landlord can be difficult from what I've experienced and heard.
Campus Quality:
Libraries are accessible and modern, and good places to get work done. The Hillman library has several floors and they get quieter and quieter as you go up, the highest one being an enforced zone of silence. The campus in general is beautiful. The cathedral is an awe inspiring architectural beauty. And the student lounges - placed on every 3rd floor to encourage mingling, are really nice.
Pitt basketball is amazing, and even though our football team isn't the best, everyone gets behind them. Its a really great experience going to a game with your friends.
Its so easy to get around here. You can go anywhere around the city with no problems. The fact that busses and shuttles are completely free is great. I often take the bus down the street just because its slightly faster than walking, and I don't have to pick up the tab. Also nice when its cold out.
Local Area:
Pittsburgh is great. Sports wise, we are amazing. We have the most Superbowls out of anyone, our hockey record is fantastic, and even our baseball team is starting to come back! Also, its such a safe city. Crime is rare here, especially on campus. Also, Pittsburgh respects its colleges, especially Pitt. Lots of people not affiliated with the University follow our sports teams, and people are proud to say they go to Pitt.
Being a CS major is great. The workload you'll have as a freshman is really light, and easy if you already know how to program. As for job opportunities, they are fantastic. If you sign up for emails from the department you will get loads of emails about cool job opportunities from employers who are specifically looking for Pitt students, and the Career and Co-Op fairs are fantastic opportunities to see what's out there. I would recommend that you go to all of those, even as a freshman. You really can get hired right after your freshman year in a co-op program.
I personally have had a pretty great experience, but I got luckier than most in terms of professors. My rating more accurately reflects the average. There are some fantastic teachers, and some that are just okay. They all care one way or another about the subject though.
Party Scene:
On the weekend there's always a good party you can get into if you try a little bit or ask around. The best parties are hosted by sports teams or clubs, and those are usually by invitation, but in practice no one cares if you crash them as long as you know at least someone there. Also, stay away from Kappa Sig, lol.
Health & Safety:
Pittsburgh is a very safe city in terms of crime. The dorms all have almost excessive security to prevent non pitt students from getting into the dorms. The RAs patrol at night and help to prevent any security issues from occuring in the dorms, although the only things I've heard of were self induced problems like alcohol poisoning
Campus Food:
There are many different restaurants on campus like Chic Fila, Subway, and many more, and of course there's always the cafeteria, but the real food is off campus at Uncle Sams, Primanti Brothers, Fuel and Fuddle (great value for late night eating) and Five Guys. All of these and more are very close to the Towers - the center of campus. These are good but expensive to eat at often. If you stick to the on campus eateries, you can always find something you like, it just gets old after a while.
Paying for parking meters and finding an actual spot to park can be tricky, however it is pretty easy to get from one place to another on campus so a car isn't necessary on campus. The farthest walk is about 10 to 15 minutes. We all get free bus transportation with our student ids, which is very convenient and used by many, and the campus is definitely bike friendly.
Drug Safety:
Anyone, no matter where you are, can get access to drugs or alcohol if they really wanted to, so while they both exist on campus, they don't have a huge affect on the safety here at Pitt as there is a very small amount of people that actually partake. The school does a good job in reinforcing the negative effects that both substances can have and all campus buildings are dry and if this is violated, there are repercussions.
Pitt Pride is absolutely the best. There are so many groups, clubs, and organizations that put a lot of time and effort into supporting athletics. You can really feel the energy led by the Pitt Band, the cheerleaders, and the dance team spread throughout the stadium at football games, and the tradition found at basketball games is a good way to keep everyone united and rooting for their team. As you walk along the streets, almost every building is decorated with school pride and so many are seen wearing school spirit on any given day.
The diversity on campus is great. It's really cool to see different faces all the time. Since there are so many different types of people, I haven't found any difficulties in acceptance. Everyone is allowed to do things their own way and think/believe what they want.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Overall, students agree that they wouldn't trade their Pitt experience for anything. As with most decisions, there are a lot of things to consider. If you don't like living in a city environment, Pittsburgh may not be the place for you. While it doesn't have the feel of New York of Philadelphia, the area is definitely urban. Also, Pitt is a large school—you're in for some big lecture classes and a somewhat overwhelming campus during the first year or so. Everything will seem to get smaller after you've been around awhile, though. Weather can be a concern if you're used to a warmer climate—snow, rain, and wind rule Pittsburgh winters. This is something that you can easily get used to though, unless you're a diehard warm weather fan.
What Pitt does offer is high-caliber academics, plenty of student organizations, and countless opportunities, such as study abroad, cultural activities, and sports. If you're willing to become active on campus, there's a lot more to Pitt than meets the eye. The University's location can also be a great advantage—Pittsburgh itself is a great city that is a positive environment for students to live and learn in, thanks in part to the city being home to a number of colleges and universities. The social scene is always jumping, locals are friendly, and there's always something to do if you explore a little. The best idea is to visit and try to get a feel for the area. You can get the same quality education at Pitt that can be found in many smaller, expensive schools, but here you'll pay less to have a vibrant city right at your doorstep.

One of the easiest, but nevertheless most aesthetically pleasing studies of the greatest chess composer of all times, Leopold Adamovich Mitrofanov. This is actually one of the studies he has collaborated with another genius, Vladimir Korolkov. Despite the "easy" nature of the study, compared to, say, their famous "Phoenix" which holds the record of the most queen sacrifices (seven of them!), the final drawing mechanism is extremely elegant.
why doesn't black play Kd7 or Ke7 or Kf7 etc?
Because the ending with rook and bishop against rook is a book draw (although not easy to play properly over the board).
oh lol nice :)
Quite amazing.
Very creative. Outmanned and outgunned White found a way to create a cage with some of Black's own pieces, no less, so he could perpetual check him. Now that's what I call snatching White from the jaws of defeat. And the bonus, the insult to the injury. Just when Black thought, "...victory is within my grasp..." You nicked him for 1/2 pt. Nice!
Nice puzzle.

Many religious people have been through events of different kinds that have led them to a crisis of faith for whatever reason, and I suspect that I can speak for at least some of us about what goes wrong in the process
By allowing the religiously-affiliated troops to still ban gay adults, the BSA is making a religious exemption seem like a reasonable compromise when in fact it is allowing the very people who would discriminate to keep discriminating.
Witches are the eternal outsiders, and so they must learn to be fearless and brave. Rejection by society teaches them strength, and they become self-made, self-reliant, self-confident. They're like Beyonce but with a broom.
Look, it isn't that I think that the prophets of the Mormon church are bad men or that they intend to take power to themselves. But they do have that power, and women do not. In my opinion, this diminishes us as a group.
God is not dead. Fundamentalists are seemingly creeping up everywhere. And despite their spectacular growth, Mormons were never more in the public eye than when they were being targeted in the 19th century.
We both go to church. We both believe in Jesus. I am a Christian. You are something else. Such is the message I often hear from organized religion, and as a gay man and ex-fundamentalist, I find it divisive and presumptuous.
Robert Gates is not to blame that the ban on homosexual adult leaders was not addressed years sooner, but he must answer for the current plan that seeks to devolve anti-LGBT discrimination to all of those faith-based chartered organizations that might prefer to exclude LGBT parents. This is wrong and divisive.
In the nineteenth century, one way to measure whiteness was in distance from blackness -- and so it was with the Mormons. Over the course of the nineteenth century, they moved away from their own black converts toward whiteness.
I'm a long way from saying I've achieved this, but I'm far enough into it that I'm skeptical of the idea of achieving anything. If I give up all my lists and checkmarks, then where am I? Maybe I'm just where I'm supposed to BE.
Talking to a friend recently who was experiencing some serious doubt about her belief in God, I found myself saying, "Everyone has to give up the old God and find the real one."
The so-called religious freedom laws Republican wannabees seek are fig leafs for discrimination against gay couples. But should such laws become reality, they would go far beyond the ability of a Christian business to refuse to cater a gay wedding.
Struggling with my own limited capacity of faith, I nonetheless cling to the hope that Christ understands all pain, even this one. He was not a woman, but in the Garden of Gethsemane, part of the Atonement was his experiencing every kind of human suffering.
My 13-year-old daughter turned to me at one point and said, "One day I will tell my kids that I remember when gays and lesbians won the right to be married." I glowed. It was one of those moments when I could pat myself on the back, knowing I was a good parent.
Among those evangelical Christians leading the fight against marriage equality are the same people who were legally marginalized a mere 50 years ago and have still yet to receive full justice and equality in a white supremacist society.
The editorial finishes by warning readers that a key lesson to learn from this tragedy is to avoid of "the dangers of a rising secularism that would limit religious expression."
I will never look at Mormon missionaries the same way, the next time they come to my door.

Yahoo Names PayPal's Scott Thompson CEO
He'll replace Carol Bartz, who was fired four months ago.
Four months after pushing out embattled CEO Carol Bartz, Yahoo has named PayPal president Scott Thompson its new chief executive. Taking over the lost-at-sea Internet company is a big task, but according to Yahoo's chairman of the board, Thompson "will restore the energy, focus, and momentum necessary to grow the core business and deliver increased value for our shareholders." Yes, Thompson is a white man.

BAGHDAD -- The Shiite-led government of Iraq on Wednesday took command of 54,000 Sunni fighters here in a U.S.-backed effort to ease sectarian mistrust and offer Sunnis a stronger stake in the country's future.
The fighters, known as the Sons of Iraq, were the first wave of what is expected to be 100,000 Sunnis nationwide to join the army, police and other government agencies. Many of the fighters, however, feared they would be marginalized and discriminated against in a nation with high unemployment, rigid sectarian allegiances and a Shiite majority.
The Sunni militiamen had been under control of U.S. forces. Their cooperation was crucial to curtailing support for al-Qaida militants and calming insurgencies in Anbar, Diyala and other provinces. The U.S. paid each Sunni fighter $300 a month about the same the Iraqi government is expected to pay.
"The government affirms its commitment to integrate the members into public life so that they take part in building Iraq," government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said in a statement.
The U.S. is keen to ensure that happens, fearing a breakdown could lead to renewed hostilities between Sunnis and Shiites.
Some leaders of the Sons of Iraq feel that the handover represents a betrayal by the U.S. and are worried that the transition will not go smoothly. The government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki also questioned the Sunni fighters' loyalty to joining Iraqi forces and whether it can provide jobs and training for all of them.
"We won't leave the Sunni fighters to an obscure fate," said Abbas al-Bayati, a Shiite member of parliament. Only 20 percent of the fighters will serve in the military and police; the rest will receive other government jobs or be retrained as mechanics, carpenters or other labor positions.
"We hope that they show patience since their numbers are large and we will need longer time in order to sort them out and rehabilitate them," said al-Bayati. "The government will determine the paths and will incorporate them."
The Iraqi government is concerned that its military may be infiltrated by Sunnis who have not abandoned separatist aims.
U.S. officials recently said that the Iraqi government's is entitled to arrest fighters it considers a threat to the nation's growing, yet fragile stability. This stability will determine the government's ability to secure the country and how fast U.S. forces can draw down as Iraqi military and police forces assume wider responsibility.

|RE: new web application - inconsistent resource not found
|Thu, 16 Jan 2003 23:56:17 GMT
Thank you very much for your suggestions and help. I created a simple test servlet and added: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> to the web.xml and was able to call the servlet with localhost:8080/directoryname/servlet/servletname I've been following a book which suggesting that I just add the following to the web.xml for the servlet: (assume directory structure: webapps\directoryname\WEB-INF\classes\Something webapps\directoryname\WEB-INF\web.xml ) <servlet> <servlet-name>Something</servlet-name> <servlet-class>Something</servlet-class> </servlet> and then suggested that I could access the class through the following: http://localhost:8080/directoryname/servlet/Something but this didn't work for me until I added the servlet mapping above. so is the book wrong and I should always add a mapping or am I missing something else? thanks again. --- Wendy Smoak <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > Steven wrote: > > What I have is a couple of jsp files and a couple > of > > servlets.

One of the aussies sent me this http://apcmag.com/6121/windows_server_gets_vista_version_itis
In the article it is said that Vista would be the last 32 bit release. That comment was regarding Server. We in server don't speak for client &, as far as i know, no one in the client world has even considered this. On the server side, this is kinda moot because you can't even buy an x86 server today.
Our boss Bob Muglia announced in November last year at IT Forum in Barcelona that the release after Longhorn would be 64 bit only.
The funny thing is even though we will have 64 bit only versions, we have the WOW layer (windows on windows) which means all the 64 bit versions have a full copy of the 32bit version of windows (except drivers, of course). I think somewhere on the line we should make the 32 bit stuff just installable rather than everywhere. - it'd be a nice optimization
I'm back from WinHEC - my session was ok - for me i thought it was not as good as i would have liked. But i had a good night last night having dinner & drinks with a bunch of folks. It was the first time i spent time with Mark Russinovich - super smart guy who gave a great talk yesterday at WinHEC. Plus, we got to hang out at the roof bar at the Standard Hotel in Downtown LA - its a fun spot & it was great to sit outside.

Terrible beds
me and my family stayed at the st giles on friday 26/5/2006 the room was of a good size but the beds were awful with me and my wife having hardly any sleep .not what you need before flying to the usa the next day .we stayed at this hotel last year and the beds were a lot better i hope this was a one off .
Over rated 'Travelodge'
This has got to be one of the worst Hotels I have stayed in.....
On arriving at the entrance I was told I had to park my car around the back and would be charged �5 for the privilage! I was greeted by a chap who really couldn't be bothered and made me feel very uncomfortable.
Having checked in I made my way to the 4th floor, to be greeted by a small, dull and noisy room that looked out onto a railway line. This was to keep me awake most of the night and was not mentioned in the itinery
The room was very sparce when it comes to complementary additions. there was two sachets of coffee and dirty cups to drink out of. The towels in the bathroom looked to have been cast offs from a Travelodge and the bathroom fan competed with the train noise when you switched the light on
I did venture down to the restaurant and felt it was OK without going over the top.
I really would not want to recommend this Hotel but instead point people to Heathrow airport instead. I know you may initially pay more but you will get better value for money
Good value hotel
Stayed one night prior to departure from Heathrow. Incredible value for money, �59-00 including cark parking for 15 days and car to airport. Check in slow and not welcoming. Room more than adequate for an overnight stay. Clean and comfortable. Bar overpriced but friendly.
Bar food is not recommended. �7-50 for a disgusting cheeseburger and chips I never imagined there could be anything worse than a McDonalds - there is.
Generally the hotel is fine for one night but I would not fancy a longer stay.
Close to airport, but not close to downtown
We stayed in the hotel as part of a tour group. We have 3 people in our
party, so we have been assigned a bigger room with 3 twin beds. The room
has air condition, quiet, and spacious. We stayed in this hotel for 1 night
only. It's close to the airport so we don't need a lot of travel time to catch
our flight, but it's relatively remote, not close to downtown London. It will
take us about 35 minutes drive on the highway to get to downtown to see
the attractions in London. However, it will save us some time to go to
Windsor in London as Windsor is located near the airport side.
The condition of the hotel is average to above average. The room was
cleaned and the bathroom was clean. Just be aware of the electrical
outlet in England, which has 3 holes. It's different in other European
countries, which has 2 round holes. Fortunately, I found a 110V American
style electrical outlet in the bathroom (for shaver) that takes regular 2 flat shaped electrical plug.
The public telephone booth in the Hotel does not take calling cards, so we
have to walk outside the hotel to use a public phone booth (which is located just outside the street from the main lobby).
Great value and close to Heathrow
This hotel above average for value for money. Paid �59 through Holiday Extras for one night with 15 days parking on site and taxi transfer to terminal at Heathrow included. Our only extra was taxi return to hotel at end of holiday to collect car which took about 15 minutes from collecting luggage. Much better than waiting for normal car park shuttle bus. Overall cost, even with taxi back, still less than 15 days parking in majority of airport off-site parking.
Hotel modern and clean with efficient staff. Made for a relaxed start and end to holiday.
Perfect for a Twickenham gig
Stayed at St.Giles when we went to watch U2@Twickenham.
Perfect location to get to and from the stadium, especially since after the event, there were 70,000 people heading towards London, but St.Giles is located 2 stops in the opposite direction.
Convenient to get to the airport as well, a direct bus, or a 13pound cab ride (15 mins)
Rooms are clean and comfy. Functional. 50pounds is a pretty fair price.
Hotel staff are all very polite and helpful.
Probably not the best place to stay if you're visiting London proper, but it's perfect if you're attending something at Twickenham, or the night before an an early flight.
For the price and an airport hotel very good huge family rooms
The area it is is not pretty but its primarily an airport hotel offering parking while you are away. We got a very cheap price including parking from holiday extras. We were amazed when we got there that for such a reasonable price the children had there own bedroom in like a family suite with their own television giving us a rest. Everything was clean and the service was excellent. The pick up to the airport was very efficient. We did not eat dinner but breakfast was fine and there was no question of charging for the 2 young children. The transfer to terminal 4 was plenty quick enough.
Ok for stop over
We did an overnight stop over at Heathrow en route to Rome in late July.
The hotel was adequate for its purpose although not being able to check in until 3pm meant we probably should have flown thru. We arrived at 10am after a 24 hour flight. The hotel had no facilities for lunch and I can't comment on dinner because by this stage i was so tired all i wanted to do was go to bed. Purple light was not an issue, because we were so tired I could have slept standing in the sunshine. I did see the trains but certainly couldn't hear them even when awake.
The hotel was clean and the concierge deserves a big mention. We had to contact someone in London and had left the phone number at home. he went above and beyond the call of duty trying to help us find it.
I thnk I'd probably try to stay much closer to the airport next time as much for convenience as anything else.
Wouldn't recommend to enemies
Terrible Hotel. Used to be an office block. Hotel is bathed in purple light at night time and none of the rooms have curtains..only blinds, so depending on whether you close the blinds downwards or upwards you can choose between a small pool of purple light on the ceiling, or a large one. One side borders a rail line which can be noisy (no A/C). Check in can be terrible. Rooms all very small, some of the "no smoking" rooms are smokey.
Worst thing is the restaurant. All Italian food and waiters. The waiters are all off-hand and the food is truly awful...and overpriced.
Walking around this area at night does not feel safe.
Best bit....if you have to stay there, and feel a bit adventurous, go out of the hotel...down the road opposite and slightly to the left, about 400 yards on the right is the bizarelly named Gurkha Tandoori.....proper food and the owner has the manner of Jimmy Wah from "Good Morning Vietnam" about him..top food, top bloke, top place. Get him to make you a "Masu Tareku" main course...fab
Would recomend to friends
Clean, spacious & modern. Beds were very comfortable. Staff was friendly & helpful. Less than 15 minutes from Heathrow by car.
Resturaunt served only Italian food & it was not very good. Manager did offer another meal for free.

Day 1 in London, United Kingdom!
Today is April 2nds, 2014 and it is our seventh day of our school trip to Europe. This morning we woke up at 4:40 a.m!! We are headed to London today! Once we got up we got dressed and brought our suitcases to the lobby. At 5:45 a.m we boarded the bus. On the way to the train station we all ate our packed breakfasts from the hotel. In our breakfast …
I saw London Bridge but it wasn't falling
... a travel bloggers post about making homemade dumplings so of course I had to find it. The place was called Jen Cafe and we got two types of dumplings and shared, they were excellent. From there I was able to push my way to the train station and catch a few different trains to get me back home to Bebington. Super eventful weekend I'm just sad it's over!
Fast forward to yesterday, Tuesday. Rob's cousin Ashley and her friend Matt arrived here after having a ridiculous ...

The Drupal 7 Hook Concept
Drupal's hook system allows modules to interact with and alter data of other modules (or even Drupal core itself.) Read more...
To use a hook system you should create it (and call the implementations (invoking)) and implement it.
By reading this page you will have a solid understanding of hook concept and will see a few basic examples.
Creating a Drupal 7 hook (and calling their implementations)
Creating a hook and calling their implementations can be done by using one of the following functions (not all included): drupal_alter(), module_invoke_all(), module_invoke()
Implementing a Drupal 7 hook
To be able to call it you need to implement a drupal 7 hook.
If the module file is called example.module, then hook_help() as implemented by that module would be defined as example_help().
Drupal 7 Hook Types:
In common practice, there are two types of hooks that you want to create:
- Alter hooks:
a common way to edit the contents of a particular object or variable by getting variables in the hook by reference, typically by using drupal_alter()
- Intercepting hooks:
allowing external modules to perform actions during the execution, can not get variables by reference, typically by using module_invoke_all(), module_invoke()
Example #1 (Simple Invoking)
// Calling all modules implementing 'hook_name':
Example #2 (Invoking a Particular one)
// Calling a particular module's 'hook_name' implementation:
module_invoke('module_name', 'name');
// @note: module_name comes without '.module'
Example #3 (Collecting results in an array)
$result = array();
foreach (module_implements('hook_name') as $module) {
// Calling all modules implementing hook_hook_name and
// Returning results than pushing them into the $result array:
$result[] = module_invoke($module, 'hook_name');
Example #4 (Altering data using drupal_alter())
$data = array(
'key1' => 'value1',
'key2' => 'value2',
// Calling all modules implementing hook_my_data_alter():
drupal_alter('my_data', $data);
// You should implement hook_my_data_alter() in all other modules in which you want to alter $data
Example #5 (passing by reference: cannot use module_invoke())
// @see user_module_invoke()
foreach (module_implements('hook_name') as $module) {
$function = $module . '_hook_name';
// will call all modules implementing hook_hook_name
// and can pass each argument as reference determined
// by the function declaration
$function($arg1, $arg2);
Looking for support? Visit the Drupal.org forums, or join #drupal-support in IRC.
Some clarification about
Some clarification about example 3 would be useful. Specifically, what would a function calling that look like? Are parameters/variables passed by reference, or returned, etc etc.
Find the function and you
Find the function and you will see accepted parameter list.

Armed robbers held up two Christchurch pubs at gunpoint last
In just over an hour, the gun-toting thieves targeted
Coasters Tavern in Redwood before The Brewery in Woolston.
Police believe two men carrying firearms entered Coasters at
about 9.45pm and made off with a sum of cash.
At about 11pm, The Brewery then suffered the same fate,
detective senior sergeant Darryl Sweeney says.
While police inquiries are in their early stages, Mr Sweeney
says it is likely there are links to robberies at licensed
premises in Riccarton and Merivale before Christmas.
Detailed scene examinations are being carried out at the pubs
this morning, with victims being provided support.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Christchurch
police on 03 363 7400 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on
0800 555 111.

I am a developer and know very little about Storage systems. At work, I noticed slow large query performance on one of the SQL Servers. I was told the database is on a fiber channel SAN MSA1500 (HP?) with 14 COMPAQ BF3008B26C drives. I did a quick HD tune benchmark when the server had practically no load. Average read was about 60MB/s. I don't know much about SANs but that read speed looks really low to me. The local HD read benchmark is higher. Before I go to my IT guys with what I think is a huge potential misconfigurtion, I just wanted to get opinion from you guys.
MSA1500s aren't that fast by SAN standards, but misconfigured SANs often underperform on loads such as data warehouses. It is quite likely to be a mis-configured SAN (perhaps the stripe size on the array is too small). It is also possible that the SAN is inherently slow - not all SANs are created equal.
For a volume-heavy (rather than seek heavy) load like a data warehouse you will probably get much better performance from direct attach disk arrays. On a random access workload like a transactional application the limitations of the controller tend to get masked by the mechanical disk seek activity. Performance issues are much more likely to show themselves on a streaming workload like a table scan over a large fact table.
Poor disk layout such as placing log volumes on the same disk sets as busy random access workloads may also disproportionately affect disk performance on a SAN.
To get an idea of whether something is diskbound take a look at the stats for Page IO Latch waits. If these are disproportionately high then the SAN is probably the bottleneck.
I have an MSA1500CS and it consistently underperforms for me, at about the rates you're experiencing. The disks in mine are SATA drives. When I had them in parity raid configs (RAID5 or 6) the throughput was around 60MB/s. The controllers in there are really under powered. I've since gone to RAID10 and throughput has increased by quite a bit, largely because I'm not consuming nearly as much controller CPU resources for the parity-calcs.
Also, that device has a nasty, nasty habit of disabling the write-cache when doing certain array functions. Things like adding a drive to a disk-array, changing the stripe-size on a LUN, or recovering from a failed disk. When it does that, any parity RAID LUNs on there become very write sensitive. Throw too much write I/O, and it starts drastically slowing how fast it commits writes to the disks. Faster drives can help, but is a controller CPU resource problem for the most part.
That said, you have a SCSI drive in there not SATA. That should help performance by a good amount, though again parity RAID may not improve much. What would improve performance is using an Active/Active firmware on it, and utilizing MPIO round-robbin to spread the I/O load between both controllers. Last I checked, this could only be done in homogeneous host-OS environments (i.e. all Windows, or all Linux).
This is a device designed such that latency-sensitive workloads ("online" workloads in HP parlance) are intended to be run in a mirror set, and archive workloads ("nearline" workloads) for the parity RAIDs. Attempting to use a parity RAID in an online role is doable so long as your application is accepting of potentially very severe latency. Mine weren't, and this caused major problems.
The MSA2000 line is reportedly a lot better about this.
The common offenders:
You can check disk alignment with the command:
wmic partition get blocksize, startingoffset, name, index
If starting offset is 32256, partition is misaligned.
More information:
Disk Partition Alignment Best Practices for SQL Server
Did your benchmark tool utilize the system's queue, or ran only one SCSI request a time?
Think of transporting coal from a mine that is 50 meters from your house. You can use one truck. With SAN the mine is far away, in another city. It may be producing a lot more coal (in your case the mine is about 14 times as big), but first of all you need to put a lot of trucks into action (a queue).
Your database does normally put a lot of trucks into action, so use a corresponding benchmark tool that does so as well.
Another thing, more important: sequential vs random operation. Your database for sure needs random I/O (except the time of full backup), so I can safely guess that it will never come even near 60 MB/s performance. Because with random I/O the miners work really really slowly, so trucks and distance do not matter that much. Try to benchmark such type of workload. Compare with your local drive, and you might be surprised.
Another answer that touches this subject http://serverfault.com/questions/29955/what-is-typical-san-performance/29981#29981.
Here is a link that discusses a lot of different issues on SQL server. Go to page 19 (Appendix D) for instructions on how your IT guys should set up the SAN. It includes an article by Mr. Denny that was very helpful to me. We re-configured block sizes(stripe sizes) and number of drives per LUN on our SAN after reading and noticed about a 100-120% improvement in our environment.

It seems this color choice is so embedded into the theme I can't figure out how or where to change it. I can only figure out that I would have to change every single item appearing in that color one by one as opposed to setting just one CSS style for all items in the green.

Fire officials say five kids complained of having a headache and not feeling well. A short time later, symptoms cropped up again.
The principal evacuated the classroom as a precaution. There were about 25 kids in the class at the time, but only five felt ill, officials said. The kids were sent home with their parents.
Hazardous materials crews responded to the scene but couldn't find any obvious source of the sickness. They say the classroom is safe but were doing air tests as a precaution.
The rest of the school went on as scheduled and students were released at regular times.

ART/ARCHITECTURE; When South Africa Joined the World, And the Art World
By BARBARA POLLACK
Published: March 9, 2003
IN 1997, the New York art world discovered South Africa. Curators, collectors, museum directors and art dealers deserted the streets of Chelsea to attend the Second Johannesburg Biennial, lured by its charismatic curator, the Nigerian-born Okwui Enwezor, and his stellar list of international artists. The event launched the new ''global art world,'' and the travelers returned home with a revised map that added Johannesburg to Paris, London and New York on their art itinerary.
This news was hardly a surprise to Linda Givon, who has run the Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg since 1966. Widely acknowledged as the most important gallery owner in South Africa, Ms. Givon had already seen changes in her country -- the end of apartheid and the election of Nelson Mandela in 1994 -- that were nothing short of miraculous to her. Since then, it has been possible for her artists -- a roster that includes William Kentridge, Zwelethu Mthethwa, Tracey Rose, David Goldblatt, Penny Siopsis, Willie Bester, Sue Williamson and Kendell Geers -- to emerge from the isolation caused by the economic sanctions against South Africa under apartheid and participate fully in museum exhibitions and art fairs in the United States and Europe.
By 1997, Ms. Givon, who trained in the early 60's at the Grosvenor Gallery in London under the tutelage of its founder, the Brooklyn-born writer, dealer and collector Eric Estorick, was ready to operate on a global level. Indeed, in retrospect it seems that decades before the art world descended on Johannesburg, Ms. Givon was primed for its arrival.
''Oh, if I could have been Denise René,'' said Ms. Givon, 67, during a recent trip to New York for the opening of Mr. Mthethwa's show of new photographs at the Jack Shainman Gallery in Chelsea. René, the grande dame of Paris art during the bleak postwar years of the 1950's, was an apt choice of a role model for Ms. Givon, who faced a similarly troubled cultural scene when she returned to South Africa in 1964.
Her first gallery space, a storefront on a business strip in Hyde Park in Johannesburg, grew in size as adjacent stores became available. Six years ago she moved into a spacious, free-standing modern building in the nearby Parkwood neighborhood. She has evolved into a bit of a grande dame herself, warm and gracious yet authoritative and somewhat intimidating, after decades as the biggest fish in a rather small pond, a pond with some very dangerous waters.
''Most of the galleries in Johannesburg lauded artists who made pretty scenes of life in the townships,'' Ms. Givon recalled, ''so that the white elite who bought these works could believe they were doing their bit for the blacks but were just living with pretty pictures. I decided to go for the artists, when I could, who were confrontational and who were addressing socially important issues.''
For Ms. Givon the choice was merely an extension of the aesthetics she had learned at the Grosvenor Gallery, which specialized in works of the Russian avant-garde and the Italian Futurists. But she soon discovered that the reality of running a gallery during apartheid was quite different from selling works of art from revolutionary periods long past. ''I was constantly getting into my car and driving down to the cop shop to bail my artists out for pass offenses,'' she said, referring to the notorious ''pass books'' that all blacks were required to carry.
Openings required ''cop watchers,'' who kept an eye out for the Special Branch police, sure to shut down multiracial gatherings. Ms. Givon kept stacks of trays around and handed them to black guests if the police arrived. ''Everyone would turn into a waiter,'' she said. ''We would have more waiters than guests at our openings.''
Many of the artists that Ms. Givon showed at the time -- Dumile Feni, Julian Motau and Ezrom Legae among them -- came to her through Cecil Skotnes, a white artist who was the director of the Polly Street Art Center, the first art school for blacks in South Africa. When Motau was killed in a domestic dispute in 1969, Ms. Givon arranged for a memorial show of his work at the Association of Arts in Pretoria, then the bastion of white nationalism, insisting that the reception be open to blacks and whites.
Overcome with emotion at the opening, Dumile Feni gave Ms. Givon a kiss on her tear-drenched cheek. The next day, the police arrested Ms. Givon for immorality. An Afrikaans judge who sat on the board of the arts association came to her defense -- ''I stood next to her the whole night and did not see her kiss anyone,'' she recalled his saying -- and she was released.
In 1978, Ms. Givon showed Legae's infamous ''Chicken'' drawings that represented the murder of Stephen Biko through pictures of poultry. ''A clever reporter got hold of the story, so the cops arrived and asked, 'Where are the Biko drawings?' '' Ms. Givon recalled. ''I said: 'I don't know what you are talking about. We only have drawings of chickens.' '' The series is now considered an essential example of resistance art and is featured at the South African National Gallery.

OPELIKA, Ala. (AP) - Police say longtime Opelika physician and city council member Dr. William D. Lazenby has been killed in a riding mower accident.
Police say the 79-year-old Lazenby was cutting his grass just before dark on Monday when he apparently attempted to go up an incline and his mower flipped over backwards, pinning him underneath.
Police say his wife called them when she could not locate him, and officers found the body under the mower.
Lee County Coroner Bill Harris pronounced Lazenby dead at the scene. He says the death is being investigated as an accident.

WASHINGTON – Democrats, if you want to win in the fall, take some advice from Pharrell Williams: "Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth."
The Mountie-hat-wearing pop singer's infectious "Happy" should be the Democratic Party's theme song for the midterm election. Despite Republican claims to the contrary, things are definitely looking up. Democrats ought to be clicking their heels and spreading the good news.
Friday's announcement that unemployment fell to 6.3 percent was huge. The fact that the economy added 288,000 jobs in April suggests that the recovery has greater momentum than pessimists had feared. Economists were expecting decent numbers. These are great. The stock market, meanwhile, is flirting with an all-time high. During President Obama's term in office, the Dow has more than doubled. If he were a socialist, as his critics claim, he'd be a truly lousy one.
The numbers prove that Obama is, in fact, a skillful capitalist who guided the economy out of its worst slump since the Great Depression.
The Affordable Care Act is clearly a success and may soon be seen as a triumph. More than 8 million people have signed up for insurance through the federal and state exchanges.
Critics have stopped talking about a hypothetical "death spiral" in which the health insurance reforms collapse of their own weight, since it is now clear that nothing of the sort will happen.
Democrats now have a positive story they can tell in their campaign ads and speeches: "We promised you that these were the right policies to get the economy on track and reform health care. We said it would take time to see results and asked for patience. You gave us your trust and now we're seeing the benefits. This is just the beginning. Give us a mandate to keep moving forward on an agenda that is working."
This is what Democrats are saying, more or less. But would it hurt to show a little enthusiasm?
Obama can be excused for his brief and low-key reaction to the jobs numbers Friday. He spoke in the White House Rose Garden alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel, with whom he had just met. The situation in Ukraine was clearly weighing on both leaders' minds. "The grit and determination of the American people are moving us forward," Obama said, "but we have to keep a relentless focus on job creation and creating more opportunities for working families."
I propose that Democrats ban the word "but" until after the election. Republicans are giving "but" a workout. Unemployment may be down to 6.3 percent, they say, but too many people are leaving the workforce. The jobs numbers for April may look good, but we don't know if this rate of growth can be sustained. Enrollment numbers for the ACA may be impressive, but have all those people actually paid their premiums?
These are not honest caveats. Republican claims about enrollees not paying their insurance premiums are based on a survey taken before many of those premiums were even due. The GOP wants to foster the notion that nothing is going well with Democrats — and that it's time for a change.
Listen up, Democrats: You fixed the economy. You expanded access to health care. Oh, and you ended two wars. Show a little happiness. It's contagious.

PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. -- The Presidio of Monterey is again offering free income tax preparation assistance and free electronic filing through the Presidio Tax Center.
Unit Tax Advisors, known as UTAs, are available to help service members, family members and retirees in completing their federal and state returns and to answer questions. If POM service personnel have questions on tax issues, they will first be directed to contact their UTA for tax assistance.
UTAs receive a challenging two-week course of instruction on federal and state tax preparation.
UTAs completed tax training Jan. 25, and the Presidio Tax Center is scheduled to open Jan. 28. Hours of operation will be 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. Currently, the Presidio Tax Center phone number is 831-242-5084, but starting Jan. 28 it will be 831-242-7365.
POM tax program benefits
Tax preparation is perceived as so complicated and time consuming that many service members would rather not attempt it.
Rather, they will pay another agency to prepare their taxes. Also, many service members who do prepare their own taxes fail to claim legitimate deductions and credits.
Others needlessly pay commercial organizations to prepare simple tax returns. Some unsuspecting service members fall victim to a few unscrupulous firms which offer income tax refund discounting schemes. These schemes charge the user an unreasonable interest rate.
While members of the military community might consider hiring a commercial tax preparer to get their taxes prepared in many cases, the Presidio of Monterey Tax Assistance Program offers free tax assistance to prepare and electronically file state and federal returns accurately and expeditiously.
Contact your UTA for assistance. If you do not have a UTA, call the Presidio Tax Center.

Veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange or other herbicides during military service may be eligible for a variety of VA benefits, including disability compensation for diseases associated with exposure. Your dependents and survivors also may be eligible for benefits. VA offers health care benefits for Veterans who may have been exposed to Agent Orange and other herbicides during military service. Veterans who served in Vietnam between January 9, 1962, and May 7, 1975, are eligible to enroll in VA health care.
What is Agent Orange and How Were People Exposed to It?
"Agent Orange" refers to a blend of tactical herbicides the U.S. military sprayed in the jungles of Vietnam and around the Korean demilitarized zone to remove trees and dense tropical foliage that provided enemy cover. Herbicides were also used by the U.S. military to defoliate military facilities in the U.S. and in other countries as far back as the 1950s.
For the purposes of VA compensation benefits, Veterans who served anywhere in Vietnam between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975 are presumed to have been exposed to herbicides, as specified in the Agent Orange Act of 1991. These Veterans do not need to show that they were exposed to Agent Orange or other herbicides in order to get disability compensation for diseases related to Agent Orange exposure.
Agent Orange and other herbicides used in Vietnam were used, tested or stored elsewhere, including some military bases in the United States. Other locations/scenarios in which Veterans were exposed to Agent Orange may include:
What Diseases and Conditions Can Agent Orange Exposure Cause?
VA presumes the following diseases to be service-connected for such exposed Veterans:
VA offers health care benefits for Veterans who may have been exposed to Agent Orange or other herbicides during military service. These services include an Agent Orange Registry health exam and clinical treatment at VA's War Related Illness and Injury Study Center.
Agent Orange Effects on Children of Veterans
Children who have spina bifida or certain other birth defects and are biological children of Veterans with qualifying service in Vietnam or Korea may be eligible for a range of VA benefits, including:
Disability Compensation
Veterans who want to be considered for disability compensation for health problems related to Agent Orange exposure must file a claim. During the claims process, VA will check military records to confirm exposure to Agent Orange or qualifying military service. If necessary, VA will set up a separate exam for compensation.
Agent Orange Registry Health Exam
VA's Agent Orange Registry health exam alerts Veterans to possible long-term health problems that may be related to Agent Orange exposure during their military service. The registry data helps VA understand and respond to these health problems more effectively.
The exam is free to eligible Veterans and enrollment in VA health care is not necessary. Although the findings of your exam may be used to inform your subsequent care, they may not be used when applying for compensation as a separate exam is required.
For More Information
Contact the VA by calling 800-827-1000 or visit their website www.va.gov

A last blast of winter 2012-13 from Peek'n Peak's terrain park: Until next year… from Peek'n Peak on Vimeo.
Peek'n Peak got 16 inches of fresh snow over a 24-hour period late this week and has 27 trails, five lifts and the terrain parks open for business. In fact, it's good news from the Skiing Weatherman for all of New York's ski resorts.
Think the winter ski season is over? Think again, says Herb Stevens, the Skiing Weatherman. Peek'n Peak and the other western New York resorts are at or near full operation.
This is not the way to hit the powder this weekend, or any weekend.
Wednesday's lake-effect snow might not have been great news for those with long driveways to shovel, but skiers and resorts in western New York have plenty of reason to be excited. Herb Stevens, the Skiing Weatherman, drops in with great forecasts for Peek'n Peak, Holiday Valley, Swain, HoliMont and elsewhere in his weekly video report:
Herb Stevens, the Skiing Weatherman, advises that conditions at Peek'n Peak and Swain should be "fantastic" this weekend, and that Holiday Valley conditions will be "superb." Saturday is the Boarding for Breast Cancer Board-a-thon at Holiday Valley as well.
Herb Stevens, the Skiing Weatherman, filed his weekend forecast for the New York resorts ahead of a forecast storm that could make conditions optimal for the state's slopes. Peek'n Peak is likely to get moderate fresh snowfall and Holiday Valley and HoliMont will get boosts in an already snowy week.
The lake-effect snow in the forecast around the region could make for packed-powder conditions at the ski resorts in western New York this weekend, according to Herb Stevens, your Skiing Weatherman. Check out his weekly video forecast:
Peek'n Peak is just one of the western New York resorts rich with packed powder after this week's snowfall. Holiday Valley, Kissing Bridge, Swain and Holimont also offer sweet conditions for the weekend, according to Herb Stevens, the Skiing Weatherman: The Skiing Weatherman – Western New York – 01/24 from Jux House Media on Vimeo.
The weather hasn't been cooperative around Erie this week, but over the New York border Peek'n Peak is operating 27 trails and five lifts. Herb Stevens, the Skiing Weatherman, touches on manmade snow, the Peek, Holiday Valley and other resorts and topics close to every skier's heart in this week's conditions report for western New…

BK defeated Gonzaga Prep 8-6 on Saturday and Idaho's News Channel KTVB is running the following piece:
EAGLE — The Bishop Kelly Knights finished off their incredible postseason run with an 8-6 win in the state lacrosse championship game, Saturday, over Gonzaga Prep.
"Everybody is best friends and that's tough to do especially at BK because everyone is from all over the valley, but everybody knows each other," said, senior Middie, Jesse Rohr. "Everybody cares about each other so, I think its a pretty big deal especially after losing in the first round the past couple years. Just a good start for the program. It feels pretty good."
The Knights got on the board early and often scoring four goals in the first quarter and another in the second to take a 5-2 halftime lead.
Early in the third quarter Jesse Rohr added to BK's lead with his second goal of the game to make it a 6-2 game.
Later in the third Patrick Tunison assisted on Rohr's third and final goal of the game to make it a 7-3 score, but GP would finish the quarter with a flurry with three unanswered goals to make it 7-5 after three quarters.
The Bishop Kelly defense stiffened in the final quarter, thanks in large part to the play in goal of senior Craig Patrick who made several outstanding saves.
Antonio Urquidi had the one and only tally for the Knights in the final quarter to extend BK's lead to 8-5.
Gonzaga Prep added a late goal to make it 8-6, but that would be how the game would end.
This is Bishop Kelly's first ever state title in lacrosse.
"Especially after like all the years before us," said senior Craig Patrick. "Being the first ones, its great because for the seniors there's no better way to go out than to get the state championship. It's just awesome!"
The victory also meant Bishop Kelly swept the state lacrosse championships with victories in both the boys and girls events.
