I call this lunch pasta because...it's something I eat for lunch. Feel the literalness of that statement. (I did not know that 'literalness' was a word until I typed it and it didn't get the squiggly red line underneath it. And then I had to Google it for confirmation. Mind = blown.)
This recipe is inspired by this one from Framed Cooks, and this one by Giada De Laurentiis. It's quick and easy, and perfect for those days when you don't want to bother with anything more than cooking some pasta. The predominant flavor is garlic, and then you have gooey cheese and juicy tomatoes. Yum. Variations on this are endless - use a handful of fresh basil instead of the dried herbs, use whatever kind of cheese you like, etc.
I would also eat this for dinner (and I think I've had it for breakfast once as well) but the husband turns his nose up at any pasta recipe that does not include meat and some sort of creamy sauce. Boo.
A word to the wise - you may have the dreaded Dragon Breath after eating this. Raw garlic is delicious, but not for the faint of heart. In other words, this is not a good date night dish.
Because only 2 people live in my house, I usually only cook pasta in 1/2 pound increments. To feed 4 (or more) use a full pound of pasta and double the rest of the ingredients. Easy peasy.
Lunch Pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic
A pinch or two of dried oregano
1 large tomato
1/3 cup cheese of choice (I used Monterey Jack. Brie would be amazing, and so would feta)
Salt, pepper
1/2 pound pasta, your choice of shape
Place the olive oil and butter in a large serving dish.
Mince the garlic as finely as you can, or grate it into the serving dish using a fine grater. Add the oregano to the dish as well.
Chop the tomato and cheese into small chunks. Add to the dish. Season this mixture lightly with salt and pepper, and mix well. Cover with plastic and set aside for at least 30 minutes and up to an hour.
Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain well, and add to the serving dish. Toss everything around to combine, and serve.

I would be interested what webapps do you know/use that allows you to monitor VPS. I would like to have the following metrics, CPU, Memory, Disk stats, Apache stats (hits/sec, free agents).
At first, check out munin. It's excellent and simple monitoring software. Unfortunately, it's not webapp.
Second, Pingdom is an excellent software for response time monitoring. It's free for only one target.
Third, Wormly offers quite many features, including resource monitoring. It's pretty cheap and reliable (have been using it for long time).
I am not sure whether there is any web services that could monitor Apache stats, but munin can do that.

Fine Wines in a Rustic Setting
By MELISSA A. TRAINER
Published: July 19, 1998
THE 150-mile-long Okanagan Valley in British Columbia has produced wine since the first vines were planted by Father Charles Pandosy, an Oblate missionary, in the 1860's, but only in the last few years have the wines come of age.
Blessed with more than 2,000 hours of sunshine annually, the valley is a great place to grow grapes and make wine. Tucked between the majestic Coast Mountains to the west and the Monashee Mountains to the east, with the Canadian Rockies just a stone's throw beyond, it's also a fine spot for rambling around. Cutting north and south through the valley is Lake Okanagan, more than 90 miles long and boasting Kamloops trout and kokanee salmon.
The semi-arid valley, home to 35 of the more than 45 wineries in British Columbia, is starting to attract attention from afar. Winemakers and students from Europe, New Zealand, and California are setting up shop. Whites, such as chardonnay, riesling, pinot gris, pinot blanc and gewurztraminer, reign supreme and thrive in the cool climate of the central and northern regions. Reds, like merlot and pinot noir, prefer the warmer climate of the southern Okanagan.
Because the winemakers produce small quantities of high-quality wines, there is only a limited supply, and the best way to get some is to visit the source. Eighty percent of the production is still sold only in Canada. The remainder is sent to the United Kingdom, Asia and, in the United States, to the Boston area. Given the favorable exchange rate for United States visitors, the wines are excellent value for their quality.
At the end of May, my husband, Christopher, two children and I vacationed in the valley, a six-hour drive from in Seattle north and east through the Coast Mountains in British Columbia. As our car chugged over the 6,000-foot Pennask Summit, we looked out over a remote wilderness. Balsam fir, spruce, and lodgepole pine trees stretched to the sky and for as far as the eye could see. Coming down into the valley, we set our sights on Kelowna, the largest city in the area and our home base for the trip.
Although we could have stayed in one of the smaller and more rural towns, we chose Kelowna for its central location. The Casa Loma Resort, nestled on the lake in a residential neighborhood, suited our needs perfectly. Our immaculate two-bedroom cottage had a well-equipped kitchen, a bathroom, a deck and a gas grill nearby. The lake's sandy shore was no more than 50 feet from our small deck, and the pools (a kidney-shaped adult pool and a children's wading pool) and hot tub were a short walk away. Lupines, poppies, and annual-filled planters brightened the paths and the lakeshore. A playground, immediately spotted by our 3-year old daughter, Carolyn, sat at the top of a small hill.
While Carolyn mastered the slide, I studied road maps and charted our course. In the end we managed to visit six wineries, detouring spontaneously en route. All the wine shops offer free tastings, and the winemakers are generous with their knowledge and enthusiasm.
Kelowna, a city of 100,000, straddles the lake, the two sides connected by a floating bridge. Just over the bridge on the east side is the city's waterfront park. Nearby is Bernard Avenue, lined with early 20th-century brick buildings housing stores, restaurants and banks. The Wine Museum, in the Laurel Packinghouse, was one of our more informative stops. Built in 1917, it was originally a fruit packing house and has been designated a heritage site by the city. In the one-room museum are some intriguing wine-related objects -- a 1930's champagne filter, a champagne hood wrapper, pruners and grape-tying equipment. There are also more than 240 wines for sale bearing the Vintners Quality Alliance designation, and a locally made state-of-the-art wine cellar.
We had lunch at the Woodfire Bakery, which is well worth a stop. The European-style breads and rolls are made from sourdough starters and organic flour. Our lunch of hot torpedo sandwiches and Caesar salad didn't disappoint or break the bank.
Quails' Gate Estate Winery, just a few minutes' drive from our hotel, was at the top of my agenda. The 115-acre winery specializes in pinot noir and chardonnay, and the wine shop is in a charming 1873 log home. Hosta, astilbe, lavender and roses were in full bloom around the shop, and the winery's healthy grapevines were only a few steps away. At the tasting bar, we were served their 1997 gewurztraminer, 1996 chardonnay limited release, 1996 merlot and 1996 pinot noir. Carolyn was handed a glass of sparkling apple juice and introduced to the toys nearby.
We learned that Quails' Gate is building a new winemaking facility, and that the valley's wine shops offer a better selection and better prices on local wines than one can find elsewhere. We carted a bottle of their 1996 chardonnay limited release ($12, calculated at $1.42 Canadian to the United States dollar) back to the resort, and it was a fine accompaniment to a creamy herbed pasta we cooked for that night's dinner.

Natural Gas Supply Decline Below Historical Norm, Forecasts Show
Natural gas inventories fell by less than average last week as warm weather reduced heating-fuel demand, analyst forecasts compiled by Bloomberg show.
Stockpiles dropped 76 billion cubic feet to 3.73 trillion cubic feet in the week ended Dec. 14, based on the median of 22 estimates. The five-year average stockpile change for the period is a decline of 144 billion, according to the Energy Department.
Estimates ranged from decreases of 57 billion to 82 billion cubic feet. The department's weekly supply report is scheduled for release at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow in Washington.
Temperatures were higher than average in the eastern U.S. last week, MDA Weather Services in Gaithersburg, Maryland, said. New York City's low Dec. 10 was 44 degrees Fahrenheit (7 Celsius), 10 above normal, the National Weather Service said.
Storage withdrawals this month could reach "an all-time record low for December," said Martin King, an analyst at FirstEnergy Capital Corp. in Calgary. "It's still too early to call the winter yet, but much colder temperatures are needed very soon to avoid another pricing apocalypse for the industry."
Natural gas futures have climbed 0.6 cent to $3.32 per million British thermal so far this week on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices have gained 11 percent this year, heading for the first annual increase since 2007.

LOOK: "Supergirl" Introduces Superman in First Family Photo
Comics | In possibly the most awesome local-news profile ever, Jeff Linehan of Boxford, Massachusetts, talks about what it's like to be the son of Jughead: His father, Richard "Skinny" Linehan, was a classmate of Archie creator Bob Montana, and the original model for ol' Needlenose. The elder Linehan was a classmate of Montana's at Haverhill High, and Montana is known to have drawn several of the characters from people he knew there. The interview is promoting an upcoming show of Archie memorabilia that will include a screening of the documentary Archie's Betty, which looks at the real-life inspirations for the Riverdale gang. [Tri-Town Transcript]
Boutique home video distributor Criterion commissioned Samuel Hiti (Los Tiempos Finales, Death-Day) and a list of other great comics artists to create artwork for the individual films in the company's box set for the long-running Zatoichi series starring Shintaro Katsu as a blind, but incredibly quick and accurate swordsman. Hiti designed the cover for Zatoichi the Fugitive, the fourth in the series.
Twenty-five Zatoichi films were produced between 1962 and 1973, making it the longest-running action series in Japanese history. There was also a four-season TV series in the late '70s. The Criterion box set collects those first 25 feature films in one package for the first time, but doesn't include 1989's Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman, written and directed by Shintaro Katsu himself.
You'd probably already heard that Robert Goodin's excellent and influential blog Covered was in the business of winding down, but the final curtain has now come down. Since announcing on Sept. 16 that he was intending to end the blog, Goodin has run four entries by Steve Rude, and a couple by Art Adams. Now that's how to go out in style.
Founded by cartoonist Robert Goodin, Covered is one of the all-time great comic-art blog concepts: Get artists to draw "cover versions" of their favorite comics covers. And if you've been following blogs like Robot 6, you've probably gathered from the amount of linklove Covered has gotten that the execution has been just as awesome as the idea.
Now Covered is moving beyond the electronic walls of the Internet to the gallery walls of L.A. retailer Secret Headquarters, which is holding an Covered art show that opens March 6 at 8pm. The show will feature mostly all-new art in the mighty Covered manner from Goodin, Jeffrey Brown, Coop, Lisa Hanawalt, Dustin Harbin, Sammy Harkham, Sam Henderson, Tom Neely, Laura Park, Brian Ralph, Aaron Renier, Johnny Ryan, Richard Sala, Jeremy Tinder, Mark Todd, Jon Vermilyea, Steve Weissman, and many more. You'll be able to buy art there or via Secret Headquarters' Flickr page. Save those pennies, Los Angelenos!

Decorate your home for the holidays with these festive Christmas garland and swag ideas. We have the classic garlands for banisters, mantels, windows, and doorways. Plus, we give you a little modern twist -- adding them to dining chairs and chandeliers to transform your everyday spaces into a winter wonderland.
Turn a nook of your home into a festively decorated and cozy hangout spot. Use the structure provided by windows, walls, or trim to easily hang green garland and ornaments.
Add some star power to your Christmas decor. Cut star shapes from sweater fabric using our free pattern. Iron on heavy fusible interfacing to the backs of stars and trim. Hot-glue a large silver sequin to the center of each star. Glue backs of stars to yarn and hang.
Have 30 minutes to spare? That's all it takes to create this beautiful natural garland. Plus: You only need three supplies!
Deck out your mantel with a swag of sweet surprises. Fill 24 small envelopes with tiny toys or pieces of candy and seal with numbered stickers. Hang envelopes across mantel with miniature clothespins. Kids will love waking up to a new treat each morning!
Adorn chairbacks with cute and creative holly garland. Cut out holly leaves from shades of green felt. Punch two holes in leaf tops. String with matching paper straws (cut to 6 inches) to make a chairback swag. For berries, hot-glue wool felt balls to leaves. Pin or tie garlands to back of chairs.
A magnolia leaf garland provides a large, lush base for building mantel decor. Metallic accents, Paperwhite blooms, and beautiful candlelight combine to create a look that is both simple and commanding.
White faux doves are a great way to spread a peaceful message during the holidays. That doesn't have to mean boring -- punch up green garland with a jewel-tone ornament scheme and beautiful ribbon bows.
Utilizing greenery at Christmastime will always be classic, but trying out other materials can be refreshing, too. Here, French-inspired fabric drapes beautifully over a basket bursting with fresh green cuttings.
Add a splash of color that won't overpower mantel decor. String felt balls in colors of your choice and hang across a mantel or shelf for a subtle touch of fun.
Set up eye-catching decor in your entryway or living room by draping a mirror with a battery-powered lighted Christmas garland. The twinkling lights will reflect off the mirror and other metallic accents to create a luminous effect.
A few simple steps and supplies and you'll have a shimmering icicle garland for your mantel or windows. It's a cheap way to make a look with lots of impact.
Layer wild, unmanicured greenery with garlands made of natural fibers. This unexpected combination of textures mixes to create an interesting mantel display. Lay branches cut to various lengths along your mantel, then string cream felt balls to create the first garland. Using thick cream yarn, make a braid long enough to span your mantel. Make pom-poms to hang, equally spaced, from the braid.
Beautiful red cranberries have long been a symbol of Christmas. Create a sugared cranberry garland by tossing berries in a bag filled with crafts glue. Then, add a handful of white sanding sugar and toss to coat. Lay out the berries on wax paper to dry, and finish by threading the berries onto baker's twine using a tapestry needle.

These cheeky Christmas lights give the pops of color you crave without running up an electric bill. Get the look by screwing pilot holes in the ends of wooden lightbulbs (available at the crafts store). Twist in eyehooks. Dilute watercolor paint in a bowl and submerge the wooden bulbs halfway into the pigment. Stand in florists foam to dry. String the bulbs onto twine and wrap around your tree.

Succulents might not be a traditional Christmas garland material, but they have increasingly earned a spotlight. We created a swag by overlapping Portulacaria afra branch cuttings and lightly wrapping them together with short pieces of wire. Continue adding cuttings and wrapping the branches until you achieve your desired length; we doubled the effort for a two-strand swag effect. For the center, lightly wire an assortment of succulents to your swag. Wire them on one at a time, paying attention to the total weight of the garland. To hang on your mantel, use more wire and removable hooks. To keep it lasting longer, lightly mist the garland every few days.
(image credit: Cassidy Tuttle)
One of the very best parts about the Christmas season is the collection of packages that gather beneath the tree. Carry the package theme all the way through the house with this whimsical shipping tag garland. Use stencils and red paint to add letters to plain paper tags. Set the tags aside to dry before stringing them onto twine to finish.
(image credit: Design Improvised)
So cheap, so easy; this garland goes for graphic with just minutes of prep. Simply cut triangle shapes from gold metallic cardstock and tape to a string. Christmas decor couldn't be easier.

Pinecones and rope are the critical supplies in this hearty outdoor garland that can stand up to any state's wintry blast.
A garland that's layered offers incredible allure for your holiday decorating. Here, magnolia serves as the base, but cedar and lavender thistle are woven in for depth and texture, while lights add sparkle.
Editor's Tip: Take a walk around your yard or a nearby park and gather the last remnants of the growing season -- interesting leaves, dried flowers, for example -- to embellish your garland.
Garlands can be assembled in a variety of ways. They may be single, long pieces of evergreens, or they may be smaller pieces of various types that are wired or glued together. This daintier version is the latter; tiny groupings of pinecones -- also glued on -- add complementary color and texture.
Evergreens generally complement any style of holiday decorating, and a garland is a great chance to accent your decor. Here, multiple needle types are intertwined along a long, curving banister. Ribbon-hung pinecones, dusted with a bit of white paint, offer a pretty end point.
Garland also can be used as a unifying element for multiple colors in a holiday color scheme. Here, unadorned greens weave around the glass jars, which display colorful holiday candy.
Garlands used to be pretty basic holiday decor -- evergreens draped on mantels and stairwells. Now you can go bigger, like this room: Pretty evergreens add texture on top of the mantel, but a ribbon garland draped through miniature wreaths accents the large corner bank of windows for a festive pop of color.
There are probably more opportunities than you realize to add beautiful garlands to your holiday displays. For example, oversize artwork, cabinet drawers, and frames are spots that allow garland to naturally drape.
Editor's Tip: Choose pieces of evergreen in both light and dark greens to enhance the visual interest.
Decorate on the cheap by repurposing cupcake liners as a grand garland for your doorway.
Here's a great idea to capture and display yearly holiday memories: a photo garland. Take snapshots during the season and mount them using photo corners onto pieces of cardstock; add scrapbooking label holders as IDs. Hang the photos from plain or colored twine using clothespins; use the garland to adorn a doorway, window, or mantel. The following year, tuck those photos into an album and display new pictures.
Make your own gorgeous Christmas garland with vellum and pearlescent cardstock. Our pattern and scoring template (available, below), helps lead you through the cutting and folding of each leaf. A few red cardstock circles serve as berries to offset the all-white look.
This must-watch video shares designer secrets for securing garlands without damaging your mantel.
There's no reason to limit your use of garland -- however casual -- to just your living spaces. If you have extra pieces of evergreen boughs, add unexpected texture and rich color to bedside tables, bathroom shelves, and more. Here, a casual arrangement -- mini garland on the table, mini wreath hung from a frame -- creates a charming vignette in a spare bedroom.
A garland doesn't have to drape in order to be a garland. Here, a variety of greens comes together in mounds and clumps, supplying movement to the mantel. Antique and vintage mercury-glass balls and new mercury-glass Christmas trees add sparkling contrast.
Customize a ready-made pinecone garland with ornaments that coordinate with the color of your front door to welcome your guests in traditional style. Position the Christmas garland outside the doorframe, and secure it at the top and along the sides with easy-to-remove self-adhesive hooks or brick clips.
A parade of felt flowers is a sweet alternative to the usual ribbon and pinecones adorning evergreen boughs. To make the flowers, cut six 2-inch and six 1-1/2-inch felt circles. Layer a small and large circle, aligning the bottoms. Pinch the set of circles together at the bottom, run a threaded needle through the four layers, and knot the ends. Repeat for remaining five petals. Stitch the six petals together at the pinched ends to form a flower. Using a needle and thread, string the finished flowers together on the back side through the pinched centers to form a garland.
Editor's Tip: If you don't have enough felt flowers to line your banister, use them to decorate small spaces, such as bookshelves, windows, and mirrors.
Learn how to wrap and swag your holiday garland without marring or scratching.
Graceful bows with long tails dramatically enhance a simple evergreen garland. Cut extra-long strips of material, tie into bows, and attach to the stair railing about 3 feet apart.
Garlands go beyond greenery. Add modern flair to your stair railing with a snowflake garland handcrafted from wooden crafts sticks. Use two or three pieces of double-stick mounting tape per snowflake to hold the lacy patterns flat against the railings.
You'll forget you're entering the kitchen when you walk through this wintry evergreen arch. The evergreen garland hung around the doorway is decorative and useful -- it holds Christmas cards.
Editor's Tip: Secure the Christmas cards to the garland by tucking them neatly into the boughs or hanging them on the branches with small pieces of twine.
Dress a window with a basic pine garland for instant holiday cheer -- simple yet stunning. If you want a little extra decoration, hang a small wreath topped with a bright red bow inside the window frame.
Holiday garlands and swags don't have to be saved for the front door or the grand entry staircase -- small Christmas swags made from fresh greenery are festively tied to the back of dining chairs. Use florists wire to bundle the greenery -- adding herbs, small flowers, or decorative branches -- to the bunch. Loop a ribbon around each chair back to tie the bouquet, adding the perfect finishing touch to your holiday table setting.

Grimsley mess offers a stern wake-up call
In what seems like a flash, Jason Grimsley has gone from a journeyman pitcher to baseball's worst nightmare.
Before Tuesday, Jason Grimsley's biggest claims to fame were: (A) he's the guy who once crawled through the drop ceiling at the new Comiskey Park (now called U.S. Cellular Field) to rescue Albert Belle's corked bat, and (B) he was once traded, even-up, for Curt Schilling, just before Schilling became Curt Schilling.
But from now on, Jason Grimsley is going to have a different claim to fame.
What Jose Canseco was to the steroid mess, Jason Grimsley now represents for the human growth hormone ...

Hawk HUS946 - Hawk Performance Quiet Slot Rotors Details
The Hawk Quiet Slot Rotor was designed to have the aggressive characteristics of a race brake rotor while still being mild enough for daily street driving. The special design of the Quiet Slot Rotor uses unidirectional vanes which eliminate the need for left and right side rotors, allowing the same rotor to be used for either side of your ride. The vanes and wall thickness of the Quiet Slot Rotor vastly improves the rotors structural integrity, decreases in rotor noise, and an increases in your rotors heat capacity. All of this is designed to help increase brake pad and rotor life as well as overall braking performance.The vanes or slots in the Hawk Quiet Slot Rotor help deliver a better initial brake bite and improve wet weather braking performance. When the brakes are not being used the vane and surface slot design will cut through the surrounding air to pretty much eliminate the annoying whirling noise that you usually notice with cross drilled or heavily slotted rotors. The Hawk Quiet Slot Rotor's vanes also serve as a wear indicator (when the vane disapears it's time for new rotors). Backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Sold individually. Features:

NEW YORK (AP) - Children need to talk about Sept. 11 and express their feelings about the tragic events of the day just as adults do, said a child development specialist.
The conversation might happen now, on the one-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks; it might happen in a few weeks or months; and for some children, especially those who were either too close physically or emotionally, or too young to remember the actual events, the conversation might be years down the road.
"When" isn't as important as "how" the talk happens, said Judith Myers-Walls, an associate professor in the Department of Child Development and Family Studies at Purdue University in Indiana.
Parents are in the best position to direct the conversation, infusing it with their own values as the children ask questions and offer commentary, Myers-Walls said.
Myers-Walls launched a Web site hours after the attacks to guide parents who wanted to help their children cope. She also has researched children's reactions to wars and disasters.
Her advice to parents: "I suggest, first of all, letting kids know it's OK to talk about this. Use leading statements or open-ended questions but do not sit down and say, 'We're going to talk about Sept. 11 now.' "
Another starting point, she said, it to have children draw a picture about what they know about Sept. 11. The picture will tell a parent a lot about what the children understand of the event.
and its consequences. Then ask a lot of questions about the details of the picture.
The age of a child might affect how to approach the topic but it isn't a black-and-white guideline if the topic should be addressed, according to Myers-Walls. She recalls a post-Sept. 11 story of a 2 1/2-year-old who said "plane crash" as his mother prepared to go on a business trip.
"As soon as the child is verbal, you might broach the subject," she said.
Myers-Walls cautions that if parents don't raise the topic, they might find their children instead getting information from well-intentioned preschool teachers who helm a project on heroes or elementary school students who might give all the historical facts but are wary of adding analysis.
Or, even worse, she said, the children will pick up only bits and pieces of news reports and conversations without getting the whole story, perpetuating misunderstandings.
For young children who don't remember anything about the attacks, they might "experience" them for the first time this year as news footage is replayed, so parents have to be very clear that these events are not happening now, Myers-Walls said. Parents might want to videotape some of the news coverage around and on Sept. 11 this year and bring out the tape when they feel the time is right to have a discussion - this way parents also can edit what their children see and don't see.
Children's book author Mary Pope Osborne said she hopes her new book "New York's Bravest" (Alfred A. Knopf), a tall tale about a celebrated 1800s New York firefighter who is missing after rescuing civilians from a burning hotel, will help introduce these toddlers to themes that are relevant yet removed from Sept. 11.
"The story said that through the spirit of heroes, (the heroes) stay with us. It said we might suffer a physical loss but we gain from their heroic acts," said Osborne, herself a New Yorker.
It's a good story anytime, she adds, but it's a particularly good story now because, depending on a child's age, a parent can then discuss the book's dedication to the firefighters who died at the World Trade Center. It's a back entrance to a discussion about Sept. 11 that might be easier for youngsters to digest, Osborne said.
Unfortunately, said Myers-Walls, the story of Sept. 11 doesn't wrap up neatly like the books most children are used to.
"In this ending the bad guy seems to have escaped. Tell your kids this is a good lesson of life: Not everything wraps up into nice, neat packages."

Rob Clayton the third and final candidate for the Warren County Public Schools Superintendent position was in Bowling Green today for his formal interview. While in town, he met with staff and toured facilities.
He's the principal at South Oldham Middle School in Crestwood Ky., and he says he's ready to take his leadership to a new level, and why Warren County?
"Why not? I've been extremely impressed with the entire community from a professional standpoint in terms of me being a superintendent, but then also what the community offers for my family," said superintendent finalist Rob Clayton.
With 20 years experience in education, he's played every role from teacher to coach, to principal, and says as superintendent, he wants every classroom in the district to be as good as its best classroom. He believes the path to doing that is sitting down and listening to educators, students and the community.
"It'll be no agenda, just a pen and paper and notepad, and I will ask everyone that is available to share their input. I want to know what the perception of our school system is. I want to know what challenges our parents... our teachers," said Clayton.
He hopes his communication and leadership will lead the district though what he says is one of the most difficult eras of education reform in Kentucky.
"Never in the history of Kentucky Education have we been in a more challenging environment in terms of the diversity of our kids, but also in accountability measures. I will tell you as a parent of three kids, accountability is what we need for our students. Accountability is what we need for our administrators, our teachers and certainly our superintendent," said Clayton.
Clayton says he already knows how to meet those standards in Kentucky, having success at South Oldham Middle School, and wants to bring that success to every school in Warren County.
Clayton had a formal interview with the school board tonight. Dr. Franzy Fleck and Allen Barber are the other two remaining finalists. The board is set to make their decision by the end of June.

We have an internal web application hosted on IIS 8 that exposes some REST services through HTTPS. Since it's accessed by other applications, we require client certificates. We are getting some authentication failures due to missing or bad client certificate, but we need them to be recorded as Windows Events so we can use our monitoring infrastructure. How can we properly configure IIS 8, running on Windows Server 2012, to forward client certificate authentication failures errors so they appear on Windows Events? Is there any special server Feature that needs to be installed and running in order for this to work?
As far as I know there is no built-in way to forward any IIS request related errors to the Windows event log.
Certificate related errors should show up in the http logs with a special sub-code (403.7,403.13,403.16,403.17) so you can write a short PowerShell script to run once an hour, going through all log files and looking for these subcodes. Then for each matching request or an aggregated summary writing an entry to the Windows event log.

Take Customer Segmentation to the Next Level: Ready…Segment…Action!
10 Sep 2015
Each year, life sciences companies spend millions of dollars on customer segmentation studies to group their target customers into broad categories. Yet they often fail to take the next step of converting these segmentation models into action within their marketing campaigns. That is, many companies do not use the segmentation models in day-to-day marketing execution, and even fewer leverage detailed customer-level data to further subdivide broad segments and enable highly-targeted campaigns.
Truly personalized marketing campaigns, in which customers are treated differently based on what the company knows about them - not only their segment, but also tens or even hundreds of other data parameters - can improve response rates dramatically. And in an era of fierce competition, this precise level of marketing can spell the difference between success and failure.
The good news is that today's advanced technology can turn what was once a complex exercise into one that's both fast and cost-effective to execute. Take a pharmaceutical company selling an attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) drug, for example. Using traditional segmentation methods, most pharma marketers will divide their target customers into a few major buckets—say, based on level of symptom and attitudes toward medication—and then tailor messages to each specific audience.
While this is an important start, marketers can obtain far more success by further subdividing these buckets. For instance, some consumers with mild ADHD symptoms are currently taking medication, whereas others are not. Some have concerns about side effects, whereas others do not. And some prefer email communication, whereas others prefer phone calls or texts.
With today's automated technology, healthcare and life sciences companies can fine-tune their big bucket customer segments by further differentiating according to self-reported attitudes, practices, history with similar products, income, education, ZIP code and numerous other variables. They can categorize these variables by business importance, storing all of the data in a single location. And they can quickly combine different parameters to identify specific customers with detailed characteristics, and then craft highly-personalized conversations that resonate with each individual.
For example, pharma marketers can identify all male consumers in their database who have mild ADHD symptoms, are between the ages of 25 and 35, are not currently taking medication, live in Iowa, prefer email communication, and have indicated via a survey that they're open to taking medication. With this information in hand, they can then create a highly-targeted marketing campaign with specific messages delivered via specific channels to this particular subgroup.
Not only is this type of highly-personalized marketing attainable, but it gets results. For instance, one of our health insurer clients wanted to promote healthy behaviors by encouraging its 2 million members to participate in its health and wellness program. Initially, the company had a 'one size fits all' approach to its communications, sending all of its members the same message using a single channel (direct mail). When the insurer revamped its program by developing a sophisticated model for segmenting and targeting its customers, the improvement was significant. They implemented a multichannel approach using email, direct mail, call center and the web. They also segmented messages to members based on parameters such as communication preferences, gender, age and propensity for certain conditions and diseases. Once the insurer targeted messaging based on these parameters, participation in the health and wellness program increased tenfold from 0.5 percent to 5 percent.
As the marketing guru, Theodore Levitt, once said, "If you're not thinking segments, you're not thinking."1 While many healthcare and life sciences companies do think about marketing segments, it's time to move beyond traditional customer segmentation and make it real in day-to-day marketing execution. Using today's advanced technology, marketers can take customer segmentation to a far more sophisticated level, increasing customer response rates, and ultimately, their bottom line.

I mean the previous version of WORDPRESS!
I am very sorry that I upgraded.
The footer in my themes is corrupted in 3.6, can't add anything to it, WordPress automatically inserts more and more slashes all over the place in the existing footer, and into anything you try to type into it.
The -- used to automatically default to a dash, it doesn't any more!
The revisions don't seem to be working. I worked all night on a page, it was saved and finished, I save every 5 minutes! And all of a sudden, it was GONE! And no sign of it in any of the revisions.
And one big glitch: the html CENTER codes have a vertical space attached to them by default! Whose idea was that? If you then have to center a heading, i.e. h3, which ALSO has a default vertical space, the center plus the h3 makes a HUGE f-ing vertical space, and your title is a mile from the top edge of your post or page.
I'm getting fed up. At least in html, when you do your page, it's done, and it stays that way. Every time I think I have completed something in WordPress, they change WordPress, or the plugins change, and my work is all fucked up.
I'm going back to html very very soon. The minute I finish with the current client, NO MORE WORDPRESS!
The idiocy is killing me.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The twin brother of a woman found dead in the locked stairwell of a San Francisco hospital has spoken to the media for the first time since her death last October.
Bill Spalding, the twin brother of 57-year-old Lynne Spalding, told KRON-TV on Monday that he blames nurses and security guards at the hospital for her death.
He said that his sister was a very special person and that when people met her, they couldn't forget her.
Bill Spalding, who lives in the United Kingdom, also told the station that he has visited the stairwell at San Francisco General Hospital where she was found 17 days after she was first reported missing.
Spalding said he plans to return to witness any court proceedings related to his sister's death.
Lynne Spalding went missing from her hospital bed on Sept. 21. A building engineer conducting a quarterly inspection discovered her body on Oct. 8 in the stairwell that was locked on the inside and located 99 yards from her room. The San Francisco coroner attributed her death to dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance likely related to chronic alcohol use, but could not pinpoint when she died.
San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, whose department provides security for the public hospital, has conceded that deputies failed to conduct a thorough search for Spalding.

Strangercrombie My Favorite Strangercrombie Package?

Hugh Foskett's, of course.
Now some stick-in-ass types assumed Seattle's most outgoing Young Republican would be angry after Eli Sanders exposed his sombrero-wearin', crotch-grabbin', shotgunnin', upchuckin' ways. They were wrong. Hugh, you see, has a sense of humor. And not only did he appreciate the attention (and the votes he believes the attention brought him), Hugh dropped by the office in person to say thanks and agreed to let us auction him off with a couple dozen cases of beer to raise money to feed the homeless. He was so nice he hardly seemed like a Republican at all!
Here's me and Hugh makin' nice…
If you want to bid on Hugh Foskett's Package, click here. Who knows? Maybe with enough beer in him Hugh Foskett will make the switchto the Democratic Party.

This was never an issue before, but now I notice it now that I have many answers accepted as the "accepted answer". We receive +15 rep for an acceptance. We receive notification in our reputation tab about "acc +15". However, when someone de-selects the answer, our rep decreases accordingly, but we never receive any notification on which question changed. I just wanted to know which question changed is all. Am I not seeing this somewhere or does this not exist yet?
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 158 Stack Exchange communities.

What is meta?
Here's how it works:
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
This was implemented last night, you'll now see unaccepts in your reputation history (in the user profile).
I think it makes sense that you don't get notification because the deselection is actually wiping out the vote record in the DB.
No, you don't see it. You don't see any notification for revocation of upvotes or downvotes either. If the notification was in the time window you've speficied, it simply vanishes.


text: Posted October 22, 2012 Geebus. I understand the frustration with the coaching staff, but give the guy a little longer than just 20 games before you start threatening a boycott. You act like Rivera has been here 5 years and nothing has been done by the higher ups. . This coaching staff is horrible and that won't change with one game, twenty games or 1000 games.

It's been a bumper year for hot hatchbacks. In 2012 we've had performance versions of the UK's most popular family cars sprawled across the front pages of Auto Express – and none is more important than the latest Ford Focus ST.
In this video, our man Mat Watson pits the fast Ford against rivals from Renault and Vauxhall on the road and track.
The new Focus ST packs 247bhp from its 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine, and does 0-62mph in just 6.5 seconds. The Renaultsport Megane takes this up a notch, with 263bhp and a clever sports diff, while the 276bhp Vauxhall Astra VXR sits right at the top of the horsepower tree.
So watch our video to see which of these cars can lay claim the crown of 2012's finest hot hatch.

Over 65 vendors from all over Northeast Texas, Oklahoma and even Kansas are making their way to Paris to show off their items.
The event will have various products from homemade ornaments to vintage items and even Christmas cards you can send to the troops over seas. Troop 2 Chair Diane Nation says it's a great way to support local retailers.
"Most of the vendors here been asked to come and showcase their goods," said Nation. "So that we can bring this event to the community so you can find those items that aren't at your normal store."

The gene product of open reading frame bh2082 from Bacillus halodurans C-125 was identified as a multicopper oxidase with potential laccase activity. A homologue of this gene, lbh1, was obtained from a B. halodurans isolate from our culture collection. The encoded gene product was expressed in Escherichia coli and showed laccase-like activity, oxidising 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenz-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), 2,6-dimethoxyphenol and syringaldazine (SGZ). The pH optimum of Lbh1 with SGZ is 7.5–8 (at 45°C) and the laccase activity is stimulated rather than inhibited by chloride. These unusual properties make Lbh1 an interesting biocatalyst in applications for which classical laccases are unsuited, such as biobleaching of kraft pulp for paper production.

However, when I do the same thing using \192.168.0.10 (which is the IP of the server), transfer rates jump to 30MB/s.
All of this happens via a gigabit ethernet cable with my wireless disabled
I heard Samba itself "doesn't use DNS", but if that's the case, how am I able to connect to the server in the first place?

Pacific Northwest College of Art prepares students for a life of creative practice.
As Oregon's premier college of art and design since 1909, Pacific Northwest College of Art has helped shape the region's visual arts landscape for more than a century. PNCA students study with award-winning faculty in small classes. In the last ten years, PNCA has doubled both the student body and full-time faculty, quadrupled its endowment, and added innovative undergraduate and graduate programs.
A $15 million capital campaign supported of the 2015 move to a new campus on Portland's North Park Blocks and the renovation of its main campus building, the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design at 511 NW Broadway.
Undergraduate Programs
PNCA students balance studies in the humanities and sciences uniquely tailored to students in an art college with hands-on art making in studios and labs. Undergraduate students choose from ten concentrations within four majors and benefit from interdisciplinary collaborations throughout their fine art and design education. Student galleries and project spaces throughout the main building offer students plenty of opportunities to show their work. Farther afield, students take advantage of PNCA Global Studios in Europe, Asia, Latin America, or Africa. Our Career Services Center and BridgeLab help students prepare for life after college through workshops, internships, and career counseling.
Graduate Programs
The Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies at PNCA is the result of an historic $15 million gift to PNCA, the largest single gift ever made to an Oregon cultural institution. At the time Hallie Ford made her unprecedented gift, she wrote in a statement that it reflected her desire, "to see a globally recognized center for visual art and design education located in Oregon." Since receiving the gift in 2007, PNCA has launched six graduate programs: the MFA in Visual Studies, the MFA in Collaborative Design, the MA in Critical Theory and Creative Research, the Low-Residency MFA in Visual Studies, the MFA in Print Media, and the MFA in Applied Craft and Design (offered jointly with Oregon College of Art and Craft in an innovative partnership).
Continuing Education
Complementing PNCA's degree programs is a dynamic Continuing Education Program that provides year-round classes to more than 1,400 adults and children. Offerings range from the fundamentals of drawing and painting to master classes in printmaking, as well as Certificates in Communication Design, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Drawing + Painting. PNCA's Pre-College Studios—a selection of week-long intensive studios for students ages 15 to 18 who want to experience studying at a top art and design college—help to prepare our community's young people for the rigor of an art and design education. Our summer smARTworks youth camps are one-week themed workshops that guide children as they explore project topics and encourage their ideas to take form.

Maury Povich
My brain hurts.
Me too, Megan, me too.
Sigh. I'm waiting for the predictable outrage about youth slang. No doubt you deds and damas will horn oozhassny chepooka about the young lewdies govoreeting in a way they don't pony til I get an ache in me gulliver, but just remember, your parents messled you govoreeted strangely too.
Dan's got a better lower-back tattoo, doesn't he?
I could give a rat's ass how she talks; what amuses me is the lack of outrage over the advice of asking around town to see how much a girl screw in order to determine her character.
Unlike so many hip hop acts, Khia is for real, with criminal record and all. For me, knowing this makes her new advice column even better.
I wonder if she thinks all women derive no pleasure from giving head? That's how you know the real sex columnists. Ya know, the ones who know the facts.
Gitai - straight from Clockwork Orange, no?
@9 Yeah. I had to look a bunch up. It was between that and Polari, and since all the Polari vocab I could find was more appropriate for dishing about boys, I went with Nadsat.
"Now you already knnow if your dealing with a lady or a tramp so a blood test is needed ASAP before you do any claiming."
Pretty sure it's tramp.
I welcome a little competition for Dan. There are dozens of regular advice columnists; surely there's room for more than one sex advice columnist. More people talking honestly about sex can only be a good thing, right? Except of course it would help if they actually gave good understandable advice.
I don't think Dan has a whole lot to worry about.
PS: I don't really care about the slang. If that's her audience, and they're into it, that's fine. But her advice, even in the Queen's English, is still crap.
For your entertainment:
Dan's voter fraud conviction looks pretty wussy by comparison.
Call the Cops When U See Khia
Grab Yo Man When U See Khia ...
you can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth
Now we are back to this shit?
Come on guys, seriously. Why is it so freaking important to make fun and ridicule black culture. This is just more typical seattle namby pamby passive aggression.
Look, sub-conscious racism is so pervasive in our society, why is it that the "enlightened" writers for the stranger don't accept it? It isn't rocket science. Until we quit making fun at people and cultures that are different from ourselves, we will never reach full equalty.
I don't like hip hop anymore than the rest of you, but we don't need to make black people, how they talk, write, what they listen too, etc. the but of jokes. It isn't funny and just perpetuates poverty and racism and hate.
So ecce, you're saying they're only making fun of it because she's black? Yeah, "they're" the racists.
PdxRitchie - don't be an ass. If you are going to respond to an actual comment, do so with an actual comment. Not just a stupid one liner.
What exactly would be your answer to the question? Anyone? In typical Seattle/Stranger fashion I hear allot of ridicule and what not to do, but nothing constructive.
If it was me I'd do the same damn thing. Be responsible, get it tested afterwards. The streets don't lie stuff is crazy though.
Who needs Docta Roof whens you got dis shiz! Holla!
what i find interesting is that "they" wrote this out in black slang (i'm not buying that the original letter is for real) - i'd understand if it was purported to be a "transcript". regardless, this is the exact sort of thing mark twain did in huckleberry finn, which, i believe, is now frowned upon.
There is no point in responding to e**e's hypocritical bullshit. He's shown more racism than any person here on slog. From making fun of starving black children to blatantly mocking African culture. He does this all while claiming/defending that he is not racist, only to turn around and say the same shit is racist (when it isn't coming out of his mouth).
I'd be tempted to like her, especially with that photo (yowza!), but - particularly in the mugshots - she reminds me of my sister. My sister is pure evil. A smiling, dead-eyed sociopath. Yuck.
Uh...guys? Advising a guy to go asking around about a woman to determine if she's a "nasty whore" is stupid. And stupid is stupid. Doesn't matter if it comes out of a black mouth or a white mouth. Are you saying stupidity is a part of black culture? Because THAT would actually be, well...racist.
Having said that, I do think the rest of her advice is solid.
as a black man who speaks good english and has a fairly large dick, i hate this shit. whites call their trash "white trash." i call these asses "black trash."
Entertaining, and worth reading if the letters are varied and not the same old "I just knocked some bitch up" every time.
And some of you need to stop with the "don't ask around about her" stuff. You've got to be kidding me. You hook up with someone, things get weird and you DON'T ask around to find out if anybody in your circle/school/dorm/frat/sorority/neighborhood/whatever has had the same experience/problems with the person?
Please. Hypocrites.
There is a word for #24: Self hating black man. You won't stand up for the brothers and sisters that are getting smacked down by cowardly little children with anus obsession's, like Mr. Poe. That tells me alot.
And Poe, you started the name calling, so here ya go. You just think that you should be able to insult every ethnic stereotype that there is because you think you are witty. I encourage you to go down to Ranier Valley and spread some of your wit to the folks down there and see how fast it takes to get a cap popped in your ass. You may think twice about being a KKK, cross burning, gay bashing, hood wearing, POS. Just because you call yourself a "Liberal" don't mean shit. I means that like many liberals, your just as much a bigot but completely incapable of seeing it in yourself. There is a reason that the Democrats are the party of slavery. You are part of that.
For once in you life, leave the blacks alone. I suspect that you are also a minority, so I am not sure why you are so nasty. I would encourage you to seek out some sort of help - sensetivity training or something.
ecce, you'd be a more convincing troll if you showed at least the most superficial sort of consistency in your posting.
I am completely consistant. Just because you can't understand the points I make doesn't make them less valid.
In fact, just because you are ignorant, you shouldn't even be posting.
Unless "knnow" and "your" (instead of "you're") are SLANG, I feel completely fine criticizing this for looking idiotic. This was published in an actual magazine? Or is it just online? Because we all know that online stuff doesn't count as reality in any case.
I just in case no one is reading this still, I bet she cashed her welfare check to buy that outfit...(stranger humour)
E**e, everything you just said is worthless, because you cannot back up a single sentence. At all.
The most amazing thing about you is your ability to completely ignore reality and make everything up to side with your rebuttal. And by amazing, I mean it's amazing that you're such a fucking moron.
"You may think twice about being a KKK, cross burning, gay bashing, hood wearing, POS."
Oh my God, where do you come up with this shit?
As for thinking twice about anything, I would not think twice about kicking your ass.
Is that a threat 'poe'?
Ryan - don't be an idiot. It's ecce and I don't have to put much thought into responding to him. Anyways, it was a pretty spot on response, I don't know what your problem is. Btw, it was a two-liner.

Depression Health Center
Mom's Depression Leads to Kids' Misbehavior
Feb. 7, 2005 -- A mother's depression can lead to behavior problems in her children, says a new study.
Children with depressed moms are significantly more likely to show antisocial behavior at age 5 and 7 years, says a report in the February issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry. That's all the more reason for mothers to seek treatment for depression, say the researchers, who included Julia Kim-Cohen, PhD, of King's College London.
Depression is common, striking almost 19 million U.S. adults annually. Women experience depression about twice as often as men, and it's not uncommon for women to be affected after becoming mothers.
Effective depression treatments are available. Judging by the study's findings, mothers seeking help for depression wouldn't just improve their own lives. They might also see a positive impact on their children's behavior.
"For some depressed mothers, effective treatment for depression should lead to secondary benefits for their children," write the researchers.
Probing Depression's Family Ties
It's hard to say what makes children misbehave. The researchers knew that kids of depressed mothers often have behavior problems, but they didn't know why.
Was it because depression decreased their mothers energy, making parenting tougher? Or did some depressed mothers also have antisocial personality traits that influenced kids' behavior? Did depressed moms pass on a genetic liability for antisocial behavior?
Those were among the theories explored in the study. Data came from more than 1,100 sets of British twins and their mothers.
The mothers were about 33 years old at the study's start. They were asked if they'd ever had depression, and about their kids' behavior. The children's teachers were also interviewed for another perspective on the kids' conduct.
Most of the moms -- 728 -- said they had never been depressed. The rest were asked when their depression occurred. For 68 women, depression happened only before the birth of their twins. For 193, depression started after their twins were born. Another 124 women were depressed both before and after giving birth to their twins.
The mothers were also asked about their own behavior and that of the twins' biological fathers. Questions covered antisocial traits like recklessness, irresponsibility, illegal behavior, impulsivity, aggressiveness, and deceitfulness.

Yes, well done today, but I just cashed out @ $27. I figure it might pop up to $28 on and off this morning, but at the end of the day, it'll settle at 26-ish (Oh damn - it just hit $28.14 - should have waited a few minutes!)
