BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
A New Zealand library's refusal over the summer to carry Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's Lost Girls has received renewed attention, earning a signal boost from Neil Gaiman and a stern denial from the National Library of New Zealand that it had anything to do with the move.
The story illustrates the strange and unenviable predicament of libraries in countries with censorship laws: If they submit the material for government review in hopes it will be cleared, they risk triggering a ban; however, if they don't submit a potentially objectionable book, they risk later being found in violation of the law.
Here's what happened in New Zealand: Over the summer, cartoonist Dylan Horrocks reported he had asked his local library in Auckland to purchase a copy of Lost Girls. The library refused, and he posted its response on his Facebook page:
Thank you for your suggestion to purchase 'Lost Girls' by Alan Moore. Due to the depictions contained within this graphic novel we have been advised by the Office of Film and Literature Classification that we may be at risk of prosecution if we made the book available to customers. As a result Auckland Libraries will not be purchasing copies of this title.
As it turns out, Stuff.co.nz reported this week, the library had purchased a copy in 2008, at a patron's request, but removed it from shelves after concerns were raised about the content.
While the announcement of a Constantine series on NBC may be good news for Warner Bros.' DC Comics-based television plans — the project joins Gotham and the Arrow spinoff The Flash on the agenda — it won't mean immediate financial benefit for the creators of the fan-favorite character. It seems those media rights are part of an earlier deal.
"As of this morning, it appears there will be NO payment to the Constantine creators for this series," Stephen R. Bissette, who created John Constantine with Alan Moore and John Totleben, wrote Monday on his Facebook page. "This option apparently rolled out of the already-paid-for option for the Constantine movie in the 1990s. Thus, we'll only see $$ waaaay down the road, it appears, IF this series makes it to being a series. If it makes money. If it trickles down."
The movie Bissette references is actually the 2005 supernatural action-thriller that starred Keanu Reeves as the cynical occult detective. Although the adaptation was lambasted by many fans for its casting of the American Reeves as the English Constantine and the liberties taken with the source material, it managed to gross more than $230 million worldwide on a reported $100 million budget. Its option apparently included sequel and television rights.

Creators | Alan Moore reminisces about the origins of his new graphic novel Fashion Beast, which was originally commissioned as a screenplay in 1985 by Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren. The movie was never made, and Moore set the script aside and forgot it for 20 years: "What I am surprised about, and this is something I only realised at a signing for Fashion Beast when I was reading some promotional material — which is how I generally remember the events that have happened in my life – I found out that I had written Fashion Beast in 1985 which is before I had completed Watchmen. I think it is a lot more grown up than Watchmen and perhaps a bit more prescient in its way." [Northampton News]

Alan Moore denies he's the creepy clown who's been lurking around Northampton, England, but concedes he may be inadvertently responsible for the mysterious figure's appearance in his hometown.
The not-so-imaginatively dubbed Northampton Clown, who bears a worrying resemblance to Pennywise from Stephen King's It, was first spotted on Sept. 13, and has since become a local curiosity and an international phenomenon. Witnesses claim he says "Beep, beep" whenever he approaches people (another nod to Pennywise), and knocks on windows, only to stand there silently.
Although the clown told the Northampton Chronicle & Echo "I just wanted to amuse people," some have speculated he's nothing more than a publicity stunt for an annual haunted house or for The Show, an episodic film project involving local resident Alan Moore (which, coincidentally, features a sinister clown).
There's no two ways about it: Clowns are evil creatures from the very bowels of Hell. The Joker, Pennywise, Violator, Bozo, Ronald — you name them, they're bad news for any unfortunate soul who might encounter them.
So when the aptly named Northampton Clown began terrorizing — or at least creeping out — the residents of Alan Moore's hometown, one person made it his mission to stop him. No, not Moore, although his wizardly powers might come in handy. Instead, it's a guy in a Superman Halloween costume who calls himself Boris the Clown Catcher.
Conventions | More than 50,000 fans are expected this weekend at Montreal Comiccon, where comics guests include Adam Kubert, Andy Belanger, Becky Cloonan, Bob Layton, Chris Claremont, Dale Eaglesham, Dan Parent, David Finch, Karl Kerschl, Mike Grell and Rags Morales. Last year's event drew 32,000, but organizers believe the inclusion of celebrity guests will attract significantly more attendees. [Montreal Gazette]
Creators | Artist, writer, and former carnival fire-eater Jim Steranko talks about his career in comics ahead of Nashville Comic Expo, where he will appear this weekend. He talks about learning to read — from comics — when he was a year and a half old, his many adventures outside of comics, and why he chose Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. when Stan Lee asked him which Marvel comic he would like to work on: "I could have nailed Spider-Man or Thor or the Fantastic Four, but that meant following Kirby. I might be crazy, but I wasn't stupid. I pointed to Strange Tales and said I'd tackle the S.H.I.E.L.D. series, which was a Marvel embarrassment — the word 'wretched' comes to mind. I didn't mention it to Stan, but I figured that on this strip, there was nowhere to go but up!" [Nashville Scene]
While the big news to come out of Kevin Smith's new "Fatman on Batman" interview with Grant Morrison is the new title for his long-teased Wonder Woman graphic novel, the most interesting part of the discussion may be when the subject turns to Batman: The Killing Joke.
The influential 1988 one-shot, by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland, is perhaps best remembered for The Joker's shooting of Barbara Gordon, leaving the once and future Batgirl paraplegic. But after listening to Morrison's interpretation of the book's ending, Smith realizes the impact of The Killing Joke is far greater: "Alan Moore secretly wrote the last Batman story."
"Even when I was writing the best version [of the movie] I could with more of the darkness and nuance and the feel of Alan Moore's comic, I remember saying a summer movie is not — I wanted to write that film because it was an opportunity for me, but this is not the way these characters should be portrayed. The perfect version of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen would have been a British BBC series with great character actors, where it doesn't rely on them being handsome or a box office draw and special effects, along the lines of Torchwood and Doctor Who. With League, it isn't so much the epic effects, it's the characters. The idea that they've come around and are trying to do a TV show doesn't surprise me. I think it's a smart move. We'll see how good it is."
"When [DC Comics] did the recent Watchmen prequel comics I said all of sorts of deeply offensive things about the modern entertainment industry clearly having no ideas of its own and having to go through dust bins and spittoons in the dead of night to recycle things. … The announcement that there is a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen television series hasn't caused me to drastically alter my opinions. Now it seems they are recycling things that have already proven not to work."
– Alan Moore, talking with Entertainment Weekly about last week's announced that Fox has ordered a television pilot based on The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
My grasp of Portuguese is almost non-existent (shamefully, it stretches to obrigado! and feliz natal! and that's about it), but here's a Brazilian company selling a T-shirt and print with a cartoon of the bard of Northampton on it. Given the appearance of V For Vendetta masks on the streets of Rio during the recent mass unrest there, perhaps this is another sign that Alan Moore is becoming something of a local folk hero there. Certainly, this design has a strong anti-consumerist message. The drawing is by occasional Mad Magazine contributor Raphael Salimena. I like it, he's managed to get a certain Kev O'Neill quality into the inking, which is highly appropriate.
"Simple-minded backwaterman" Alan Moore has made an appeal on Kickstarter to fund "His Heavy Heart," the final installment in a series of short films known as Jimmy's End. It's written by Moore, directed by Mitch Jenkins, and produced by Lex Projects.
As the acclaimed comics writer explains in the video (below), the five shorts form the foundation of a planned feature-length film called The Show. Money pledged toward the £45,000 (about $70,678) goal will go toward the completion of "His Heavy Heart"; all additional funds "will go into further development of the existing series and towards the forthcoming feature film."
Pledge incentives range from a limited-edition movie poster and an exclusive T-shirt to signed copies of Moore's screenplays and a visit to the set. The campaign, which has raised £3,662 in a matter of hours, ends July 17.
DC Comics is calling June "Superman Month," but next week is Snyder Week. The first issue of Scott Snyder and Jim Lee's Superman Unchained arrives next Wednesday, and the premiere of director Zack Snyder's Man of Steel premieres in most places two days later.
Therefore, because there will be a lot of Superman talk coming down the pike, I thought I'd get mine out of the way early.

One thing that comics blogging has taught me is a healthy respect for the roles (including the rights) of creators. Creators' rights aren't unique to comics, of course, but you really can't talk about the history of superhero comics, or the development of corporately handled superheroes, without at least acknowledging the people who first introduced the concepts. In this respect Superman is a special case, because he seems to have developed past his creators' original idea (or, certainly, past the original parameters) into something Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster might never have imagined — and people seem pretty cool with that, in a way that perhaps doesn't apply to similarly long-lived characters.
Conventions | HeroesCon, which begins Friday in Charlotte, North Carolina, will double in size this year, with the exhibit area increasing from 100,000 to 200,000 square feet. "There's a whole lot more of everything," says founder Shelton Drum. Including people? Last year's convention drew in 17,000 attendees, and Drum thinks this year's event will attract more newcomers curious about the source material of their favorite movies. [Winston-Salem Journal]
Creators | Peter Bebergal talks with Alan Moore about Jerusalem, magic, comics, and the tendency to conflate gods with superheroes: "It is contrived, because they're not at all the same. Superheroes are the copyrighted property of big corporations. They are purely commercial entities; they are purely about making a buck. That's not to say that there haven't been some wonderful creations in the course of the history of the superhero comic, but to compare them with gods is fairly pointless. Yes, you can make obvious comparisons by saying the golden-age Flash looks a bit like Hermes, as he's got wings on his helmet, or the golden-age Hawkman looks a bit like Horus because he's got a hawk head. But this is just to say that comics creators through the decades have taken their inspiration where they can find it. Before I was interested in magic as a viable way of life, I was certainly aware of the occult, and wouldn't be above taking names or concepts or ideas from the occult." [The Believer]
A Nebraska public library has rejected a request to either remove Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's Batman: The Killing Joke from shelves or move the 1988 DC Comics one-shot out of the young-adult area.
"I don't find it worthy of being removed from the shelf," the Columbus Telegram quotes Columbus Public Library board member Carol Keller as saying at last week's meeting.
Ahead of the release of the Vertigo solicitations, MTV Geek has official confirmation that the long-teased Tom Strong and the Planet of Peril will at last debut in July.
Initially discussed in early 2011, following the closing of DC Comics' Wildstorm imprint, the miniseries teams the character's co-creator Chris Sprouse with his Tom Strong and the Robots of Doom collaborator Peter Hogan for an adventure that sends the science hero on a quest for the one thing that can save the lives of his daughter Tesla and her unborn child.

Minn. AG should investigate Coleman, local web developer says
When Wikileaks reported on the availability of Norm Coleman's supporter list and financial information, his campaign called on the investigation and prosecution of the supposed hacker. Well it seems a majority people outside of the campaign see this as a possible crime committed by Coleman's team as they made their supporter's data easily accessible on their site. In addition to that, their database revealed that they were storing credit card numbers, expiration dates and security codes without encryption.
At least one local Web developer has formally contacted the Minnesota Attorney General's office asking them to investigate Coleman's campaign for possible consumer protection violations. Will they take up this case?
Tony Webster has submitted a letter to AG Lori Swanson reviewing that issue and calling out the campaign for violations. CP has reported on similar concerns.
Here is an excerpt:
As a website that accepts payments via credit card, the Coleman campaign is bound by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards (PCI DSS), a unified set of rules agreed to by all major credit card companies, banks and card processing services. According to PCI DSS, Requirement 3, the storage of credit card numbers is permitted as long as it is "...required for business, legal and/or regulatory purposes." In any case, the card number must be protected by encryption. If the expiration date is stored, it must also be encrypted. In no case should the three or four-digit security code on the back of a credit card ever be stored, regardless of the reason and regardless of the protection or encryption used.
At this point, it's clear that the Coleman campaign took several negligent steps in the matter: (a) the improper storage and collection of full credit card numbers, expiration dates and card security codes, (b) the database contents being exported from the database to a database file, (c) the misconfiguration of the Coleman campaign website, and (d) the further publication of the database file to the internet.

We've contacted Swanson's office and left a message, but haven't received a response about additional letters submitted or a potential investigation from their office. If you have also submitted a letter to authorities on this matter, please contact Blotter.

City Amazon, Vulcan and… The Mariners
posted by August 29 at 14:20 PMon
There are apparently some fireworks going on in the negotiations between the mayor's office and local developers such as Vulcan over the mayor's plan to require rezones in urban centers like South Lake Union, Northgate, and the University District to come with strict guidelines about public benefits. That is: If a developer gets to build taller, the developer must provide public benefits like affordable housing.
Inside sources tell me specifically that Vulcan, which is focused on rezoning the industrial/commercial zone between Denny and Lake Union, have said that if the rezone doesn't pencil out for them, their potential tenant, Amazon.com, may look elsewhere for its pending big move.
People are pretty mum about the negotiationsthe city council is still out of the loop, and is waiting for the incentive zoning legislation to come down from the mayor in Septemberbut I was able to talk to Deputy Mayor Tim Ceis today.
(Footnote: Ceis sounded like he was at the Mariners game with the mayor in the background scolding him for taking press calls. "Hey, there's a ball game going on!" Ceis wouldn't confirm being at a Mariners game; he said they were at a "public facilities inspection.")
More important Ceis denied Vulcan was playing hardball. "No developer has played the tenant card," he said. He also said that while the developers are making "the same old arguments" against public benefit incentives ("the deals won't pencil out"), they don't have much of a case given that the council passed a incentive zoning for downtown last year and "there's no shortage of cranes there now. It worked," Ceis said.
Calls out to Vulcan and Amazon.

As an Orthodox Jew, I believe that membership in a religion is not casual but legal, something like American citizenship (if you support the good people of Arizona). You can't just cross the Rio Grande and vote in Phoenix. There is a rigerous citizenship process, a conversion process, or there is Judaism's singular qualification -- being born to a Jewish mother.
But according to my non-Orthodox "Progressive" friends, religion is as religion does, you are what you feel, what you seem, and to the left of Conservative Jews (though surely soon for Conservative Jews, too), you are Jewish if your father was. Intermarried people, technically non-Jews, who never converted, are allowed to participate in the Sabbath services of many liberal synagogues. The Jewish people are filling up with "illegal aliens" given amnesty. Non-Jews claim Jewish credentials by virtue of how they act, not what they actually are.
There are always stories in the papers about soldiers who've been killed while serving in the Israeli army but who can't be buried in Jewish cemetaries because these tragic soldiers are not Jewish, and therefore must can only be buried in non--Jewish cemetaries. There always follows an uproar from non-halachic Jews -- how dare we not bury them in the cemetaries where they want to be buried after what these soldiers did for the Jewish State!
Boy, are the Orthodox mean. Don't they know that religion has nothing to do with being Jewish?
By those modern and widespread standards in the Jewish community, where someone's religion is not judged by legality but by feelings and sympathy, then I'm getting more comfortable with the idea that Obama is a Muslim. Sure, he is technically a Christian, I know, he spent more than 20 years in Trinity Church in the pews of his spiritual mentor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the crude anti-Semitic and anti-American friend of Louis Farrkahn. You can't choose your family but yes, you can choose your mentors.
I know, Obama is a Christian by virtue of his maternal family, his mother was a Christian.
And yet, by the modern Jewish standards of patrilinial descent, no questions asked, no-fault religion, Obama is a Muslim.
He is Muslim by patrilineal descent and what seems to be Islamic halacha.
As an op-ed contributor wrote in The New York Times in 2008, "In Islam, however, there is no such thing as a half-Muslim. Like all monotheistic religions, Islam is an exclusive faith. As the son of the Muslim father, Senator Obama was born a Muslim under Muslim law as it is universally understood. It makes no difference that, as Senator Obama has written, his father said he renounced his religion. Likewise, under Muslim law based on the Koran his mother's Christian background is irrelevant."
There is no provision in Judaism to renounce your religion, either.
So Obama is a Muslim because of his father -- patrilineal descent -- is one legitimate "halachic" position, although the topic has become so politicized it has rarely been seriously explored in most newspapers, Jewish or otherwise. The idea that Obama might be a Muslim was so quickly branded a slur by the left and the Obama camp, in particular, and protecting Obama had become uppermost in the minds of so many journalists, that most Americans haven't been exposed to an intelligent "comparative religion" discussion about this. The topic is often handled with a schoollyard brush-off, even in usually serious newspapers, by usually serious people: "He's not a Muslim, and you're stupid for saying so."
Yet, for those of us who like our religion discussed at length and with seriousness, what about the assertions in the Times' paragraph? Maybe if the topic was dealt with intelligently and properly -- not politically -- it wouldn't still be an issue going the wrong way in the polls for Obama a full two years later.
And what of the "non-halachic" point of view?
If service in the IDF, or working and living among the Jewish people, is the criteria, Obama had for years lived and studied and prayed among Muslims as a youth in Indonesia. As president, he has served the Islamic people by the shameless pro-Islamic tilt of his Cairo speech "to the Islamic world" in which he linked modern Zionism to the aftershock of the Holocaust instead of telling the Islamic world that Jews are an indigneous people in the Land of Israel; by severely pressuring Israel but not the Palestinians; by treating Prime Minister Netanyahu with greater contempt than any Israeli leader has ever been treated by any president; by eliminating terms such as "jihad" and Islamic terror" from official government usage; by having one person in his administration refer to Jerusalm as Al-Quds, and another deny Islamic motivation to obviously Islamic motivated acts of terror (such as in Fort Hood), and by yet another Obama-appointee teling Al-Jazeera that Obama told him that one of the main jobs of the director of NASA, our space program, is to reach out to the Islamic world, a responsibility that somehow eluded Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy when we first put men into space.
By every halacha-be-damned modern Jewish colloquial standard of who is a "member of the tribe," Obama is a Muslim, every bit as much as he is a Christian. Two religions are OK in most modern Jewish homes, with Christmas trees and menorahs sharing the same living room, and Obama's childhood living room was both Islamic and Christian. He rejected neither, though Islam became politically inconvenient, which why he didn't use his middle name Hussein publically until he was safely elected and inaugurated as "Barack Hussein Obama." And that is why the centerpiece of his foreign policy became outreach to the Islamic world while threatening Israel if they so much as built an apartment house in a Jewish neighborhood in Jerusalem, while Obama made zero demands on the Palestinian Abbas.
I'm not the only one who sees this. An increasingly number of Americans do, as well. WIth the end of legalistic standards of identification within almost all ethnic and religious groups, Americans are figuing, yeah, this guy sure seems like a Muslim. The protective ring of liberal journalistic propaganda that immunized Obama, at least for a while, is wearing off.
Americans are a practical people. If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck...
According to a new poll from the highly respected Pew Research Center, with interviews in both English and Spanish, nearly one-in-five Americans (18%) now say Obama is a Muslim, up from 11% in March 2009.
Only about one-third of adults (34%) say Obama is a Christian, down sharply from 48% in 2009. Fully 43% say they do not know what Obama's religion is. And this survey was completed in early August, before Obama's favorable comments about the Ground Zero mosque.
It's not just Republicans, though leftists would prefer that you think so. According to Pew, "the number of independents who say Obama is a Muslim has also increased significantly (up eight points)," and "fewer Democrats today say he is a Christian (down nine points since 2009). Say that again? Even fewer Democrats say Obama is Christian.
Sixty percent of those who say Obama is a Muslim said they came to that conclusion through the media, the overwhelmingly liberal media. The people see and hear Obama in action, with 11 percent being more specific, saying it is not the media as intermediary but they figure Obama is a Muslim from his own "words and behavior," reports Pew.
Are Americans really as stupid as some politicians, Jewish leaders and journalists would have you believe? How is it that the more Americans know about Obama, the more Americans think he is Muslim?
Many Americans grew up with the old Lenny Bruce routine on "Jewish and Goyish." As Lenny said, "Dig: I'm Jewish. Count Basie's Jewish. Ray Charles is Jewish. Eddie Cantor's goyish.... Kool-Aid is goyish.... Pumpernickel is Jewish, and, as you know, white bread is very goyish. Instant potatoes--goyish. Black cherry soda's very Jewish. Macaroons are very Jewish--very Jewish cake. Fruit salad is Jewish. Lime jello is goyish. Lime soda is very goyish."
By Lenny Bruce standards, we can say that Obama is as Islamish as lime jello is goyish.
Of course, as a Jew who respects halacha and the legal codes of other religions, I know full well that Obama is a Christian by matrilineal descent, that he was raised in a two-religion home to understand and love both Islam and Christianity. He probably tilts toward Islam now because perhaps he resents how for so many years, fighting to reach the top, he could only admit to Christianity, forced by politics or (a lack of a courage) to deny his father. Now he is a free to be as he chooses.
My non-Orthodox friends who have drummed it into my head that a Jew is anyone who sort of seems like it, halacha and technicalities be damned, so I'm increasingly of the belief that, yes, Obama is a Muslim -- actually, like many children of intermarried parents, he is both Christian and Muslim. There have been numerous articles in Jewish papers regarding Chelsea Clinton's marriage to a Jew, and how Jewish that child might be, even if that child is officially a Methodist.
In a very real sense, Obama is that child. Like Chelsea's child, the father looms.
OK, OK, Obama's a Christian, please don't waterboard me, I'll confess. I'm not saying Obama prays to Allah, eats Halal, or is in any way a religious Muslim. Hardly. But I've been taught by my Reform, Secular and intermarried friends that a Jew doesn't have to believe in God, or daven, or eat kosher, or be in any way observant, or even have a Jewish mother to be Jewish. These Jews can even go to church and marry a Christian (as did Obama), and raise their children as Christians. These sort of Jews can followed around by a private detective for a month and provide no evidence of being Jewish, but they can be very Jewish deep down, feeling profoundly connected to the Jewish people, coming through when they sense that they are needed by the Jewish people. Many of us have no problem calling people like that Jewish.
We can call Obama a Muslim by that standard. Obama now seems to sense that the Islamic people need him, the Palestinians need him, the Muslims who wish that the evil disgrace of Islamic fascism would just go away, those embarrassed Muslims need him. Obama has responded.
But, in the process, the American people have been responding to something about Obama, too.
How do you say "walks like a duck and talks like a duck" in Arabic?

Some time ago, I wrote about Cameron Slater's claim to be a journalist, which he is invoking for the purposes of protecting his confidential sources. The District Court ordered him to turn over his sources in a defamation case brought against him by Matt Blomfield. The court said Slater didn't qualify for source protection under […]

The Teldec Miniature Stereo Cutterhead System
The author has spent four of the last twelve months in Europe, on four separate trips, in an effort to investigate the advancements which have been made in the field of recording in general, and Stereo in particular. The trips have included Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Holland and Belgium. It is interesting to note that most of the big stereo noise comes from Telefunken in Hannover, Germany, whose 50% ownership in TELDEC (which it jointly owns together with English Decca) gives it the sweep of the field, from the disk to the home equipment.

Bash Quoting
Quoting things in bash is quite simple... until it isn't. I've written scripts where I'd swear 90% of the effort was getting bash to quote things correctly.
The basics of quoting are simple, use single or double quotes when a value contains spaces:
a="hello world"
a='hello world'
But single and double quotes are different. Single quotes don't support any kind of variable substitution or escaping of special characters inside the quoted string. Double quotes, on the other hand, support both:
a="hello \"there\" world"
a='hello "there" world'
a='hello \'there\' world' # causes an error
a="hello 'there' world"
a='hello \"$b\" world' # a is >>hello \"$b\" world
a="hello \"$b\" world" # a is >>hello "there" world
One way around the problem that single quotes don't support variable substitution is to quote the individual literal parts of the string and then put the variable substitutions between them:
a='"hello" '$b' "world"' # a is: >>"hello" "there" "world"<<
Note that "$b" is not actually inside a quoted part of the string. Since there's no space between the two literal parts of the string and the "$b", bash puts the final result into a single string and then assigns it to a.
One place where quoting problems often occur is when you're dealing with files that have spaces in their names. For example, if we have a file named "file with spaces" and we run the following script:
for i in $(find .)
echo $i
We don't get what we want:
$ bash t1.sh
One solution is to put the file names into a bash array when the Internal Field Separator is set to just a newline. Then we use the value "${array[@]}" as the list for the for loop.
files=($(find .))
for i in "${files[@]}"
echo $i
This produces the correct output:
$ bash t2.sh
./file with spaces
The difference between "${array[*]}" and "${array[@]}" is analagous to the difference between "$*" and "$@", namely that in the later case the result is that each word becomes separately quoted rather than the entire thing being quoted as a single string.
Another option, which avoids special quoting is to just set the Internal Field Separator variable before the for loop runs and reset it as the first statement in the loop body:
for i in $(find .)
echo $i
Another quoting problem is when you have a string which you'd like to break up into separate words but you'd also like to honor any quoted substrings in the string. Consider the string:
a="hello \"there big\" world"
and suppose you'd like to break that into its three parts:
- hello
- there big
- world
If you run this:
a="hello \"there big\" world"
for i in $a
echo $i
It produces this:
$ bash t4.sh
The trick here is to use a special form of the set command to reset $* (and therefore, $1, $2, etc). My first version is always like this:
a="hello \"there big\" world"
set -- $a
for i in "$@"
echo $i
And of course it doesn't work:
$ bash t5.sh
Then I usually remember you have to eval the set statement:
a="hello \"there big\" world"
eval set -- $a
for i in "$@"
echo $i
At which point it works:
$ bash t6.sh
there big
at this point I'm usually tired of quoting things.

When there are too long or too many filenames
Very interesting! I always forget $@ and eval. Regarding filenames, I prefer while/read to avoid the case of extra long or too many filenames (because * expands to the full list!):
#-- print one filename by line even with spaces #-- or too long or too many names find . | while read FILE ; do echo "$FILE" done #-- rename filenames changing spaces to dashes find . | while read FILE ; do NEWNAME=$( echo "$FILE" | tr ' ' '-') mv -v "$FILE" "$NEWNAME" done
This way I have the full filename in a variable without too much hassle. To process only the current directory, I add -maxdepth 1 to the find command.
There is a problem with this approach: FILE is only valid inside the while loop, because is run as a separate bash process (Eats some memory, but is slightly faster). When the input comes from a file, we can do this to avoid the extra process:
#-- store the file list for posterior processing find . > filename.list.txt #-- show all the names with uncommon characters only # space is common :) and last char in grep regex # dash must be the first one to be considered by itself while read $FILE ; do echo "$FILE" | grep "[^-a-zA-Z0-9._/ ]" done < filename.list.txt
This is sweet. I've been
This is sweet. I've been looking for a over an hour for a way to treat quoted strings with spaces in them as a single token; many articles I have read come close but none hit the nail on the head like yours did. The magic is all in the "eval set..." Thanks so much!
Yes it is
Thanks, I didn't know that. I see it now in the man page.

This is madness
Does anyone know of a shell without all this quoting complications?
Or do I have to stick to Python and Ruby?
In the
In the program
for i in $(find .)
echo $i
why we need IFS=$OIFS in the loop?
Can't we write this once after loop?
In this simple case, yes you could put IFS=$OIFS outside the loop, but that might not always be the case if other parts of the loop expect a "normal" IFS value. This example is a bit contrived, but suppose the loop looked like this:
for i in $(find .) do for j in $(echo a b c) do echo $j done echo $i done
Here the variable j only takes on one value, "a b c", because IFS contains only newline, and not tab or space.

Ouch, brain hurts.
Funny you should bring this up - I was struggling with a super-stupid-simple issue this week that didn't work because of quoting. Thanks for the article!
What about files passed on the command line?
Thanks very much for the IFS tip. That seems a good way around this problem.
However, what about passing in filenames on the command line? I'd like to call my script as so:
$ script "file 1 with spaces" "file 2 with spaces"
.. and be able to parse them correctly. Suggestions?
Use "$@"
Something like this should work:
for i in "$@" do echo "$i" done
The secret is with quoting $@, rather than getting all the command line arguments quoted as a single string (which is what "$*" gets you), when you use "$@" you get each individual argument separately quoted, and if you quoted things on the command line they will continue to be quoted. When I say quoted, I really mean it keeps them together as you specified them and doesn't break them at spaces.
Mitch Frazier is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal.
Doh! Thanks!
Wow! All this time I've been misusing $* and $@. I've tried various combinations of quoting $@, $*, $1, and $i (in a for loop), and I'd never gotten this to work right before now. Thanks so much!
I finally have a way to quickly, quietly, reliably unzip a bunch of zip files with spaces in their names, from the command line.
Re: Use "$@"
The following is slightly simpler and does the same thing:
for i do echo "$i" done
With no in, the for just iterates over all the positional parameters.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Is there a way to force a context switch in C++ to a specific thread, assuming I have the thread handle or thread ID?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
No, you won't be able to force operating system to run the thread you want. You can use
You can only encourage the Windows thread scheduler to pick a certain thread, you can't force it. You do so first by making the thread block on a synchronization object and signaling it. Secondary by bumping up its priority.
Explicit context switching is supported, you'll have to use fibers. Review SwitchToFiber(). A fiber is not a thread by a long shot, it is similar to a co-routine of old. Fibers' heyday has come and gone, they are not competitive with threads anymore. They have very crappy cpu cache locality and cannot take advantage of multiple cores.
The only way to force a particular thread to run is by using process/thread affinity, but I can't imagine ever having a problem for which this was a reasonable solution.
The only way to force a context switch is to force a thread onto a different processor using affinity.
In other words, what you are trying to do isn't really viable.
You can temporarily bump the priority of the other thread, while looping with
I would check out the book Concurrent Programming for Windows. The scheduler seems to do a few things worth noting.
Sleep(0) only yields to higher priority threads (or possibly others at the same priority). This means you cannot fix priority inversion situations with just a Sleep(0), where other lower priority threads need to run. You must use SwitchToThread, Sleep a non-zero duration, or fully block on some kernel HANDLE.
You can create two synchronization objects (such as two events) and use the API SignalObjectAndWait.
If the
And if you want the current thread to automatically resume, simply inform a small value (such as 50 or 100) on the

Product Description
From the Back Cover
You code. And code. And code. You build only to rebuild. You focus on making your site compatible with almost every browser or wireless device ever put out there. Then along comes a new device or a new browser, and you start all over again.
You can get off the merry-go-round.
It's time to stop living in the past and get away from the days of spaghetti code, insanely nested table layouts, tags, and other redundancies that double and triple the bandwidth of even the simplest sites. Instead, it's time for forward compatibility.
Isn't it high time you started designing with web standards?
Standards aren't about leaving users behind or adhering to inflexible rules. Standards are about building sophisticated, beautiful sites that will work as well tomorrow as they do today. You can't afford to design tomorrow's sites with yesterday's piecemeal methods.Jeffrey teaches you to:
- Slash design, development, and quality assurance costs (or do great work in spite of constrained budgets)
- Deliver superb design and sophisticated functionality without worrying about browser incompatibilities
- Set up your site to work as well five years from now as it does today
- Redesign in hours instead of days or weeks
- Welcome new visitors and make your content more visible to search engines
- Stay on the right side of accessibility laws and guidelines
- Support wireless and PDA users without the hassle and expense of multiple versions
- Improve user experience with faster load times and fewer compatibility headaches
- Separate presentation from structure and behavior, facilitating advanced publishing workflows
About the Author
Jeffrey Zeldman¿s personal web site (www.zeldman.com) has welcomed more than 16 million visitors and is read daily by thousands in the web design and development industry. In 1998, Zeldman co-founded The Web Standards Project (www.webstandards.org), a grassroots coalition of web designers and developers that helped end the Browser Wars by persuading Microsoft and Netscape to support the same technologies in their browsers.
Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
For quite a long time most web designers have treated standards compliance with the same respect as Microsoft enjoys on Slashdot. They are nagged by an annoying voice in the back of their heads that scream, "design for the future" - but drown it out with the client's cries of "design for the past" and their own misapprehension that "everything should be pixel-perfect in Netscape 4".
They hack, triple-test, pet every single line of carefully-crafted HTML, spend countless days ironing out every obscure browser bug known to man, and then pull their hair out in large knots when a new browser comes along & everything breaks.
If you are one of those people (I certainly used to be), perhaps it's time to stand back & realize the obvious: standards compliance is the only way of future-proofing your sites. It's the only way of making sure that what you build today won't break tomorrow.
And fortunately for you mr. Zeldman is here to take your hand, show you where you went wrong, and guide you gently into this brave new world.
It's foolish to claim that standards compliance can solve all the problems of web development - but it's equally foolish to continue living in the past when you have an excellent book like this that can make your professional life so much easier.
Web designers who want to move towards coding pages according to standards and forward compatibility.
This book examines the use of CSS and XHTML for web page coding in order to adhere to standards and make pages that are readable on all platforms.
The book is divided into the following chapters:
Part 1 - Houston, We Have a Problem - 99.9% of Websites Are Obsolete; Designing and Building with Standards; The Trouble with Standards; XLM Conquers the World (And Other Web Standards Success Stories)
Part 2 - Designing and Building - Modern Markup; XHTML: Restructuring the Web; Tighter, Firmer Pages Guaranteed: Structure and Meta-Structure in Strict and Hybrid Markup; XHTML by Example: A Hybrid Layout (Part 1); CSS Basics; CSS in Action: A Hybrid Layout (Part 2); Working with Browsers Part 1: DOCTYPE Switching and Standards Mode; Working with Browsers Part 2: Box Models, Bugs, and Workarounds; Working with Browsers Part 3: Typography; Accessibility Basics; Working with DOM-Based Scripts; A CSS Redesign
Part 3 - Back End - Modern Browsers: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; Index
Even though I'm a developer, I hate books on web design. Simply put, they all seem to be written by "experts" who push their opinions and studies as hard-core truth, and woe to all who don't design based on their recommendations. I really dislike dogmatic ranting in tech books, and I must admit I was not looking forward to this book with much enthusiasm. I knew I needed to read it, but it was going to be one of those things that was "good for me", but not enjoyable. Imagine my surprise when I found myself actually liking the book! There's some really good material in here...Read more ›
This is not your traditional tutorial book - In fact, a majority of the book is spent discussing the topic of standards, which gives this book an almost academic feel. In spite of that, I still really like this book and found this book extremely helpful is designing standards compliant websites.
In particular, the chapter on XHTML is well written and does a great job in explaining everything from DOCTYPE, HTML tags case, closing tags, empty tags and encoding valid XML tags such as < > and &. The chapter on structure combines CSS and XHTML to provide a complete solution for websites. I had used DIV's before but never really understood how and what they were and what was the difference between id and class. After reading this chapter, I feel like I have a very good understanding on the principles of layout and CSS.
I love all the examples in the book, especially in the latter part of the book where you work through different layouts using the technologies you just learned about. I also love the section of the book that lays out and documents all the deficiencies and bugs of existing browsers and how to work around those issues.
If you want to create websites that work in every browser, load quickly, consume less bandwidth and still be visually and functionally attractive, you need this book.
I had been using CSS, but incorrectly. I began going through the W3C Specs for CSS and noticed there were a number of help resources. The source I landed on was Jeff's. Although much of the content revolves around the argument for standards, there are great tips and a beginner project to help understand the basics. But if you go to the author's personal website, there is a wealth of information. Also, the author's personal website is very elegant and the CSS that holds it together is free for all. Another excellent source of information is the author's business website, "A List Apart". Thank you very much Jeff!

Nondual Christianity in Theory and PracticeCynthia Bourgeault claims that the salvation Jesus taught was in fact the perception of nonduality—and she's becoming famous for how she backs up this claim quite reasonably, relying on the Bible, church fathers, and especially the Christian contemplative tradition.The notion of nondual Christianity doesn't originate with her, of course, but she's prominent as one of the more articulate voices making people aware of it today.

Yamadeo is based out of Tallahassee, Fl. They offer a style of reggae-influenced rock, which while drawing inspiration from the artists' that have influenced them, has translated into a sound that is unique to the band. Yamadeo is defined by their ability to put on a memorable live show that is second to none, as well as the knack to create music that people truly want to listen to. Since the band's formation in 2009, and the release of their 2010 "People Get Crazy" EP, it's always been about getting the crowd in party mode and with that mantra the band has grown their fan base by playing hundreds of shows across the Southeast at many of the area's most reputable venues, beach bars, college bars, and frat houses. They have also received regional radio airplay, been on an independent film soundtrack, and performed as support for many national acts (the Dirty heads, Rehab, the Toasters, Gorilla Zoe, Supervillains, Cas Haley). With the release of their debut album "Doin' It" in August of 2012, Yamadeo is set to keep working harder than ever to continue to grow their fan base and share their music with anyone willing to give it a listen.
Yamadeo is made up of brothers Ben Goldman (guitar/bass/vocals) and Brannen Goldman (bass/guitar/vocals), who provide their instrumentation, individual songwriting skills, and vocal harmonization and add it to the beat of hard-hitting Bobby Boyd (drums), who never falls short of impressing with the crisp punishment he unleashes on his set. Add the improvisational jazz-inspired flavor of tenor saxophone player Kenneth Edmondson and you have a sound that is Yamadeo.

Diabetes Emergencies (cont.)
Place all of your medications and related supplies in clear zip-lock bags if possible. This way visual inspection is much easier for the TSA agents.
TSA officials will normally X-ray medication and medication related supplies, if you wish to have your medication and supplies hand inspected rather than X-rayed, you may do so but you must request this prior to the beginning of the screening process.
Letters from doctors are not recommended since security has concerns that these may be easily forged. The currently recommended way to fly with medications and equipment, such as insulin, syringes, lancets and glucagon is to travel with all medications and supplies that have the original pharmacy label on them. If your medication is lacking such a label, you can call your pharmacy and see if they will print out a new one for you. You can also call your doctor's office to ask if they can call in a recent prescription for you that will have the label on it. For patients with insulin pumps, there seems to be no problem so far provided that security personnel is shown in detail the plunger, tubing, etc. The companies that provide the pumps (Minimed, etc.) have a 1-800 line for further information.
It is always a good idea to check the current TSA regulations prior to flying.
Missing Insulin
First, if someone with diabetes requires insulin to survive (i.e., type 1 diabetes), they MUST have their insulin shots in order to avoid going into a stress state known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). A patient with diabetes should have insulin available at all times (for instance, at work, insulin ideally should be kept in the fridge) and there should also be an extra vial on hand. Insulin, however, does not necessarily have to be refrigerated and can simply be kept in a cool dry place. If a person with type 1 diabetes misses an insulin shot but is otherwise well, he or she can get by for a few hours. However, repeated missed doses over a prolonged period leads to a severe lack of insulin. This, in turn, results in the body's inability to properly control the processing and use of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The blood sugar can become exceedingly high (hyperglycemia). In essence, the metabolism of these patients becomes deranged to the point that hospitalization will be needed.
In the event of an emergency situation, if no insulin is available, these persons should be kept quiet, well hydrated, and as stress free as possible. Rescue teams should be made aware of the urgency to help these people first. I would highly recommend that all persons with type 1 diabetes wear medic alert bands. In the case of people with diabetes who do not require insulin, the urgency to treat them is less immediate. They too should be kept hydrated, calm, and warm until help arrives. Remember too that with diabetes, the ability to heal cuts and sores is less efficient, and often other diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure co-exist in these individuals. Use discretion in situations where you may need these individuals to perform physically demanding tasks.
Diabetes Medication Taken With No Food Available
Another situation can occur when a patient with diabetes has taken their insulin or oral medication but is in a situation where no food is available. In these cases, the blood sugar may drop exceedingly low (hypoglycemia). ("Insulin reaction" is not an ideal term to describe this reaction, since people on pills for diabetes can experience these symptoms as well.) Physical signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as confusion, combativeness, sweating, shaking, incoherence and dizziness may occur, particularly in a stressful environment. In its most severe form, the hypoglycemia can result in the loss of consciousness and seizure. If prolonged, death can occur. The only way to treat hypoglycemia is to provide the person's body with carbohydrates. The simpler the carbs are, the better. For example, bread and chocolate take a long time to be absorbed as compared to a pack of table sugar or a hard candy when chewed. Offices should have a stash of sugar, candies, etc. for use in these emergency situations. Sugar in orange juice and soda pop works well and half a glass of either can be given every 10 to15 minutes until the person seems to improve. In some work environments, co-workers are trained to give an injection of glucagon to a diabetic colleague if symptoms of severe hypoglycemia occur. If you have diabetes, your work place and human resources department should be able to tell you if this is a feasible option at your specific place of employment.

Artist Talk: Dexter Dalwood
Dexter Dalwood was born in Bristol in 1960 and was a member of the 1970's punk band The Cortinas before becoming one of the UK's most respected painters. Dalwood's work uses a collage technique to make painting that talks about the idea of a splintered reality, drawing equally on historical tradition and contemporary cultural and political events.

For my upcoming website, PracticalManliness.com, I would like to have someone create a WordPress plugin that displays "Manly Tips" drawn from a specially-created RSS feed.
Basically, I would like the plugin to create a simple widget that displays a new "manly tip" each day. I would like the widget display the tips by pulling the latest 5-20 word "post" from an RSS feed that I will create.
I would also like the title to be changeable, but by default set to something like "Manly Tip of The Day".
In addition, I would like to have an accompanying admin panel that gives users the option to display a link back to PracticalManliness.com under the tips.
It should be a short 2-3 file project, but I do not know enough coding to do it myself.
If this interests you, please let me know your pricing. You will also get recognition as the author, so this could be a good opportunity for an up-and-coming developer.

how to get the access token of the System process from a console application in c# which is running under user account (actually i need admin access token)
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
closed as not a real question by Cody Gray, Pauli Østerø, Mat, Richard, Ninefingers Jan 9 '12 at 10:26
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The "System" process is not a real process. It is merely a logical place holder for the operating system code that runs in ring 0. Like drivers. The abstraction is useful, notably in Taskmgr.exe to give a hint what system resources are consumed by the operating system itself. Trouble with a runaway driver that burns 100% core could be identified for example.
Actually doing anything with the System process is out of the question. User mode code runs at ring 3 and has no access at all to ring 0 resources. No access token exists, it takes a hardware trap to traverse the boundary. Anything you'd try will produce a security exception.

I looked at the links you guys gave me and found this site the problem is that I dont know if it's open to the public. 3 websites said yes, 2 said no, and 1 said I have to buy a permit. This site is located in New Jersey and is known as Roseland Quarry, Riker Hill Fossil Site, and Walter Kidde Dinosaur Park. At this site you can find different types of dinosaur footprints. here are some pics of the site

I'm pretty certain that one is closed. If footprints are all you're after, there are other locations in both NJ and CT that yield footprints.
Posted 05 February 2011 - 01:17 PM
Do you no an exact site name?
Posted 05 February 2011 - 04:20 PM
I don't, no, as tracks aren't really my cup of tea (not when there are mosasaur bits and shark teeth calling for me). But there are some members here who go for them, so hopefully one of them will chime in.
Posted 06 February 2011 - 01:26 PM
The Riker Hill Site was registered as a National Natural Landmark. For many years, the public was allowed to collect fossils at the site, but now access to the site is restricted. Trust me the last thing you want to do is get caught collecting there. Very hefty fines and possible jail time.
