Sad day for BYU. This was a gut-it-out type of player with the Raiders. You always knew he would give you everything in the tank, and then try to run on any vapors that were left. And always as opinionated as ever. Who can forget all the appearances on Johnny Carson? Even though a Coug, he will be missed by the sport. My deepest condolences to the Christensen family, and also to the greater BYU family and Raider Nation. He will be missed.

Todd was spectacular to watch in College. When he was drafted by the Cowboy's as a running back they tried to convert him to a tight end. He didn't want to play tight end and was then sent to the Raiders where he was the leading tight end receiver in the league for a few years. He was tough on the field but kind and gentle off of the field. He was loved by everyone on campus and always represented the school in a positive manner. His vocabulary was above 98% of all broadcasters and he had an amazing whit. My deepest condolences to his family. There will never be another like him! I feel blessed to have known him. God bless!

This is a time when Todd's football accomplishments really don't matter. He was a good man and contributed to the world by raising a great family and giving back to his community. Isn't that what really matters? We never know how much time we will be granted, so we better make the most of every day. Todd's life was an example of this. He will be missed. My deepest condolences go to his family.

Mr. Christensen will be greatly missed. His commentary always tried (and often
humorously failed) to bring an intellectual flavor to the games he was
commentating. If for nothing else, he should be appreciated for his attempts to
blend the brute athlete with the thoughtful man of letters.
RIP, Mr. Christensen, and best wishes to his family and friends in their time of loss.
There despite the grace of god go I...

Wow, what a great player he was! I remember Todd running the opening kick-off of the second half of the Tangerine Bowl back for a touchdown less than a week after he had his appendix removed. Amazing! Always one of my favorite Cougars!

This guy was a machine of a football player. I enjoyed so much watching him play with the Raiders while growing up in California. I never met or knew his as a person, but it sure seems that those who did can explain and know what a great man he was. It is always a sad day when such great men pass like this all of a sudden. May his family be blessed through this difficult time and may he be accepted as I can only imagine and know he will. What a great man. You will be missed four six.

BBC's plan to survive nuclear attack It would all be fixed in thirty days, and there was no need to take women into the bunker. Eventually they gave up on the Goon Show tapes. Cosi fan tutti More plots and affairs than a Kardashian household, Mozart's Cosi fan tutti offers an insight into the intrigues of relationships. ArtsHub The third installment of the highly anticipated Iron Man franchise will be filmed in China. Marvel recently announced that Iron Man 3 will be co-produced by Chinese company DMG Entertainment, meaning that Iron Man will be taking a trip to the far east for his next great adventure. According to Business Week, DMG Entertainment will invest 1bn yuan (approximately $150 million AU) into the project, and will also help in domestic distribution of the film. Head of DMG Entertainment, Dan Mintz, has described the collaboration between DMG and Marvel as a global entertainment "milestone." "This signifies the first multibillion-dollar franchise to be produced between Hollywood and China," he said. Marvel's general manager of operations and finance, Rob Steffens, was also very optimistic about the newly forged partnership. "Adding a local flavour, and working with our new local partner, will enhance the appeal and relevance of our characters in China's fast-growing film marketplace," he said. In fact, this partnership is merely the latest in a growing string of collaborations between the U.S. and China. China, who is notoriously known for limiting the number of foreign films that screen in the country, will make exceptions for a film that is co-produced with a Chinese company. Allowing China to co-produce its blockbusters gives the U.S. the advantage of a large Chinese audience, whose ticket sales rose 35 per cent last year, making it the largest market after the U.S. and Japan. Iron Man 3 will see the return of Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark, the billionaire who gets his powers from a suit of armour that he built himself. Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle are also expected to return for the third instalment which will begin filming in May of this year. According to Disney's General Manager for Greater China, Stanley Cheung, China will play a bigger part in the film beyond serving as its filming location. "We know Chinese audiences love Iron Man. So we are going to add Chinese elements and a Chinese story into Iron Man 3," he said. For those who just can't wait to see Robert Downey Jr reprising his role as the formidable Iron Man, the character will be making another appearance before the release of Iron Man 3. The Avengers, a superhero film which combines the powers of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow and the Incredible Hulk will be released next Wednesday on April 25th in Australia.

CONGENITAL brevicollis probably has been recognized since ancient times. Fused cervical vertebrae have been noted in an Egyptian mummy dating back to 500 bc,1 and in bones of an ancient civilization uncovered in Paucarcancha, Peru.2 The Acephala, a mythical race who supposedly lived in Western Libya, have been described as having heads planted directly on their chests.3 Pictures of the Acephala strongly suggest primitive superstitions associated with a short, immobile neck. Fusion of the atlas to the occiput was first described by Realdus Columbus in 1559 and similar cases were reported by Litre in 1701 and by Morgagni in 1746.1 In 1906, Clarke4 reported congenital brevicollis in an infant. Elliot Smith5 in 1908 reviewed 12 cases gathered from Lower Nubian and ancient Egyptian cemeteries and from the Department of Anatomy of the Cairo Medical School. Indeed, many cases of congenital brevicollis were described before

This hotel is from from all eateries. The staff didn't speak much English. I practiced my Spanish. The breakfast in the morning was always low with very few hot options. No where to park if you come in late. Spaces are limited.
If your looking for a place economically priced, cream with helpful staff. This is your place.

Hi there,
I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. If anyone can please help with some simple instructions on how to do the following, I'd be extremely grateful.
1. My multisite is setup on a subdomain (note: not using a subdomain install) eg. blog.mysite.com/wordpress/
2. I have several blogs in the network, however I'd like one to become my homepage eg. I want "blog.mysite.com/wordpress/coolstuff" to be accessible via "blog.mysite.com"
Is there a way to remove the path /wordpress/coolstuff so that this can work? I've tried a million combinations of mod rewrite, and had hopes that WordPress 3.5 would solve this but no dice!
Many thanks in advance.

Politics Underreach

Yesterday, after reporting that the State House Democrats were warned by D leadership to tiptoe around Olympia rather than flex their muscle, I complained that they were missing the point of the mandate they just got, and they better use it … or else they're going to lose it.
After that post, I learned that it's worse than I thought. Two of the City's top agenda items in Olympia this year are closing the state's gun show loophole and passing an assault weapons ban (as many states have already done since the fed ban expired in 2004.) Unfortunately, Democratic House leadership told the city that pushing gun control isn't going to fly.

I would like the blogroll links on my blog to be in a certain (alphabetical) order, as this would help the students, however they seem to get jumbled - and be in chronological order.
Using the sort by name function under manage links does not work.

How can I put the links in the right order?

Yesterday my PC gave me somewhat of a heart attack when it prompted a BSOD while I was fiddling around with a midi device selection. Anyway, when I rebooted the system, startup repair showed up and cheerfully reported the problems could not be solved automatically. Another restart - startup repair yet again. No matter what option I select (Start Windows normally/startup repair), I always end up with startup repair. I tried to follow this post but
DIR on C: results in "File not found". So I ran
CHKDSK C: which does not find any errors but also only lists around 100MB of my 80GB SSD.
Any advice on how to proceed from here would be very much appreciated.
I found that somehow the drive letter of my SSD was changed from C: to F:. When I run
CHKDSK F: I get the expected result (no errors, correct drive size) and I was able to follow the instructions from the post I mentioned earlier. However my system is still booting into startup repair.

One of the themes I use (MH Corporate) calls the latest jQuery version 1.9+ from Google instead of using the standard 1.8.3 Version of WP.
I read that the toggle function was removed from version 1.9 onwards. I assume that this is the reason why Arconix FAQ and the Accordeons and Tabs don't work with this theme. Is my assumption correct?
If so, are there plans to modify the Acronix shortcodes to be compatible with the latest jQuery?
Thank you very much for your attention!

1. A script for this problem is:
Q = [0:200]∗1.0e+6;revenue = 0.055∗Q∗1.0e-6;cost = 3+.025∗Q∗1.0e-6;plot(Q∗1.0e-6,revenue),gtext(′Revenue′),hold,…plot(Q∗1.0e-6,cost),gtext(′Cost′),xlabel(′Q (millions of gallons)′),…ylabel(′Revenue and Cost (millions of dollars)′),gtext(′Breakeven Point′)
The plot is shown in the figure. The breakeven point is at Q = 100 million gallons, so production is profitable for any Q value greater than 100 million gallons. According to the model presented in this problem, there is no upper limit on the profit.
Figure : for Problem 1.

Great Theme!
I would like to use this theme to build a home page that displays the "slider" with sticky posts at the top of the page, but static content at the bottom of the page (rather than recent posts).
For example, another user indicated they had made these changes on this this website: http://friendsforlife2013.nl/
Is there a quick way to make the home page display static content and the slider at the same time simultaneously. Do you have any advice for how I could go about doing this? I'm pretty good with html and css, but my php skills are still fairly limited.
Thank you,

Solders such as the 48wt%Sn-52wt%In, 42wt%Sn-58wt%Bi, 63wt%Sn-37wt%Pb, Sn(3-4)wt%Ag(0.5-0.7)wt%Cu, and 80wt%Au-20wt%Sn, are studied as interconnect materials in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). The Sn52In alloy is a low temperature (melting point = 118degC) lead-free solder and a potential candidate material for this device. In this study, thermal-structural analysis evaluates the solder alloys in the context of in-service operating conditions. Specifically, the thermal analysis determines the in-service temperature distributions, as influenced by each solder alloy, due to power generation within the VCSEL and due to convective boundary conditions. Subsequently, these thermal profiles are used as the thermal loads in an evaluation of the stress and creep response in the laser pads and solder joints. Emphasis is placed on the relaxation of stresses at the laser pads and on the creep strains developed at the solder joints during a 24 hour power-on condition

Re: Proposed Apple penalties permit NOOK in-app purchasingBooksOnTheKnob Aug 3, 2013 10:19 AM (in response to Doug_Pardee)
Not only were 'in-app' purchases banned (unless they paid the entire 30% store portion of the sale to Apple), they had to remove links in books that took you to the website to purchase (which is what many of the apps had done, anyway).
We'd all love to see those features back, no matter which app we used.

I used to like Apple as a company. Once upon a time they flew pirate flags and took on stodgy IBM who Apple accused of practicing a monopoly. A la Animal Farm, Apple has become IBM or at least the perceived personal of IBM that Apple used to battle.

General Electric (NYSE:GE), the flagship blue-chip stock from the 1980s and 1990s bull market rally, reports Q3 2012 financial results Friday, Oct. 19 before the bell.
Analyst consensus is expecting $0.36 in earnings per share on $36.87 billion in revenues for year-over-year growth of 16% for earnings per share on 4% revenue growth. GE topped out at $60 per share in August 2000, and hasn't been back close to that level since. GE Capital was decimated during the 2008-09 mortgage crisis, and since then GE hasn't been able to put up any sustainable business growth.
However, GE's stock is up 26% year to date (not including the dividends) as large-cap and mega-cap stocks are starting to be viewed as safe havens. The fact is that, despite tepid revenue growth, earnings per share growth is starting to tip into the low to mid-teens for the foreseeable future.
Here is a history of GE's year-over-year earnings per share (first column) and revenue growth (second column) over the last 10 years, along with estimates for the next three years:
2014 +13% (est) 6% (est)
2013 +12% (est) 4% "
2012 +12% (est) 1% "
2011 +19% -2%
2010 +12% -4%
2009 -42% -14%
2008 -19% 6%
2007 +11% 6%
2006 +16% 9%
2005 +8% -2%
2004 +3% +14%
2003 +3% +2%
2002 7% +5%
Despite the two tsunami's GE experienced with 9/11 and then the 2008-09 recession, the company can still generate earnings growth in environments where revenue growth is tough to come by.
Last quarter, overall GE reported flat revenues and 12%-plus earnings growth, with GE Capital revenues falling 8%, even though GE Capital operating profit rose 31%. Despite GE stating that it wants to shrink GE Capital as a percentage of total GE, the fact is GE Capital revenues are still 31% of revenues and 36% of operating profit. Industrial segment earnings rose 10% organically in Q2 2012.
The fact is that GE Capital still matters to GE, and likely will for a while and that could be a positive now. Look for continued improvement in GE Capital in Q3 2012, as the tailwinds that we are seeing in other financial companies, particularly an improvement in real estate, will help GE.
One thing that does worry me is that, according to our internal spreadsheet, GE has missed revenue estimates and fallen short 10 of the last 15 quarters. I think analysts are struggling with modeling GE's businesses in the "new normal" of today's slow growth economies.
This is a tough company to succinctly analyze given the breadth of its operations and company size. That said, GE is still generating about $2.70 in operating cash flow and plenty of free cash. The stock is trading at about seven times cash flow per share and sports a 8% free cash flow yield, with analysts expecting mid-teens earnings growth for the next three years.
Ultimately, I'd like to see GE generate better than mid-single-digit revenue growth, but it may take a return to better global growth to do it. Given what the company has survived in the last 11-12 years we are comfortable keeping it as a 1%-2% position in client accounts, earning the dividend and awaiting better markets.
We treat GE as part industrial, part financial in client accounts, given the GE Capital presence. A pullback under $20 would be a good point to add more.
Disclosure: I am long GE, and looking to own more GE on a pullback. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

My wife and I stayed here for one night after flying in from the UK. We had booked an accessible room as I am disabled. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was kitted out for people with disabilities, grab rails and walk in shower. The bed was very comfortable. Staff were polite, professional and efficient. The food was very tasty and provided good value for money, especially the buffet breakfast. The shuttle even dropped us off at the car rental place in the morning. I highly recommend this hotel.

St. Pete Beach Library raising funds
Article published on
Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2014
ST. PETE BEACH The St. Pete Beach Library plans a kickoff for its $700,000 fund-raising campaign to provide a much-needed 3,500-square-foot addition and interior space renovation.
The event is Wednesday, Jan. 29, 5 to 6:30 p.m., at the Library, 365 73rd Ave. Best-selling Tampa author Tim Dorsey will preview his 16th Serge Storms book, Tiger Shrimp Tango.
Architects from the Harvard-Jolly firm will be on hand with renderings and key information about the project, along with Library Administrator Phyllis Ruscella, City Manager Mike Bonfield, other city officials and library staff. A fund-raising brochure with the renderings will be available, with many naming and other donor opportunities. First major funding for the total $2 million project came from the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative, which last February awarded the city a grant for $200,000.
Ward Friszolowski of Harvard Jolly, a former mayor and Library Advisory Board chair, noted that the added space includes an entrance foyer, expanded restrooms and a long desired 75-capacity meeting room that can be divided into two spaces for the librarys and communitys many programs.
Renovation plans for the existing space include such features as a new children's area with more computers and seating, a new storytime room for the younger set, more computers and seating for the public, a more efficient overall layout with a new circulation desk closer to the new main entrance, a better staff working area, a larger Friends' Bookstore, a better display for new collection materials books, DVD movies and music CDs, and more storage space.
The St. Pete Beach Library is celebrating its 45th anniversary in 2014, and, dependent on anticipated fund-raising success, the first phase interior renovation project should start before year-end.
The City has set up a separate account for all donations, big or small, designated for the multi-year Library facility expansion/renovation project. To make a contribution, contact the library administrator directly at
or stop by the library.

What's the right way to create the events as the homepage?
because the events aren't an actual WordPress page, I can't set it as the home in settings->reading
I know that if I create a page with a shortcode to the event calendar all would be good... but I'm not finding a shortcode... am I missing something?
Or is there an easy way to create the event listings in a page template, and set a page to use that template ?
I'm essentially wanting my homepage to be a listing of events...
What are my options here?

Although windows firewall is required to be on when you "start" Internet Connection Sharing, you can stop the WF service with MMC. When done a client can still use the host machines internet. The firewall had port 80/http blocked, and now it is open for incoming traffic. However other ports used by applications on the host and client which communicate with each other still seem to be blocked. Can anybody explain what might be happening here? Doesn't ICS need windows firewall for NAT?
Note: I am not actually seeing anything in the firewall logs after stopping the service, but even packets sent localhost on the host machine never arriving on these other random ports.

Super Grub Disk
I had hardy on one ide disk with windows I cloned HARDY and put it on a new sata disk and formatted the first disk
I reinstalled windows on another new sata disk so that I would have windows on a separate disk from HARDY (windows has two partitions with documents and settings on the second partition and the OS on the first)windows boots fine no problems.
HARDY will not boot I have used SGT to boot and have been able to bring up the old boot menu
but whichever item I click on to boot I keep getting a message to "press any key", all that happens is it takes me back to the grub menu. If I try any other options I get error messages like "back (error 6 is OK)"
"error 6 mismatched or corrupt version of stage 1 / stage 2"
"(root) hd0,0 file type ext2fs partitiontype 0x83 chainloader +1"
"error 13 invalid or unsupported executable format"
"hd1,0 error 17 can't mount partition
"hd2,0 map (hdo)(hd2) - (hd2)(hd0) chainloader +1 boot
"grub loading stage 2.."
Computer hangs at this point, with a flashing cursor and no computer activity, have
left it like this for 1 hour just in case but nothing, when I reboot I get the same error
"BOOTMGR" is missing
I would appreciate some help
I am an almost newbie can do some things ok but not this one

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

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

I am using the BlueMoD 1.0.3 theme and I am encountering two unique problems.
My site is us2guys.com
First in Firefox, just after the calendar widget in the sidebar, there is some weird background image issue going on that I have no clue how to address. I haven't noticed this in Internet Explorer.
Secondly, in IE, after the "Advertisements for Moneys" widget, the blog text exceeds the left column and flows into the sidebar area.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix either of these?
Thank you very much for any help or ideas.

Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (So Far)
Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (So Far)
Putnam Adult, Hardcover, 9780399154379, 224pp.
Publication Date: September 17, 2007
Thucydides, Gibbon, Tuchman, McCullough-to the names of the world's great historians must now be added the name of Dave Barry, who has taken a long, hard look at our new millennium (so far) and, when he stopped hyperventilating, has written it all down, because nobody would believe it otherwise.
In November 2000, the skies darken over Florida as hundreds of thousands of lawyers parachute into the state from bombers, while in 2002, the federal budget surplus mysteriously disappears ("Everybody looks high and low for it, but the darned thing is gone!"). In April 2003, no WMD have been found, but investigators do discover three barrels of lard, described by U.S. intelligence analysts as "a heart attack waiting to happen," while in 2004, an already troubled nation receives an even greater blow: the sight of Janet Jackson's exposed nipple. In 2005, Katrina, Cindy, Harriet, Martha, Valerie, Paris, Michael Jackson-women just got crazy that year-while in November 2006 . . . well, something happened; it'll come back to us.
Plus, an extra added bonus-Dave Barry's complete history of the millennium so recently (and unlamentedly) gone: Crusaders! Vikings! Peter Minuit's purchase of Manhattan for $24, plus $167,000 a month in maintenance fees! The invention of pizza by Leonardo da Vinci and of the computer by Charles Babbage (who died in 1871 still waiting to talk to somebody from Technical Support)!
Liberally illustrated with line drawings, filled with facts and commentary that will amaze your friends and confound your enemies (yes, we mean you, Osama!), this is the book that will finally earn Dave Barry his second Pulitzer Prize. And about darned time, too.
Dave Barry�s bestsellers include his Peter Pan prequels, written with Ridley Pearson; I�ll Mature When I�m Dead; and Lunatics, written with Alan Zweibel.� He is also the author of the two dark comic suspense novels Big Trouble and Tricky Business. A play based on his first Peter Pan book, Peter and the Starcatchers, is currently a hit on Broadway. He lives in Coral Gables, Florida.

Tree swallows: Often our first spring arrivals
Published: Monday, March 9, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 9, 2009 at 7:25 a.m.
Its Feb. 20 and the first spring migrant is flying low over the waters of a mountain lake in Transylvania County. The first tree swallow has arrived, but winter has not yet retreated and its a debate as to whether the bird has arrived too early and wont be able to find enough food to get through the next few weeks before spring finally shows its face.
If this individual swallow does survive, he will (and all probabilities of an early arrival point to it being a male) get the best breeding site available. He will get first choice of the nest cavities in the area and maybe the first choice of the arriving female tree swallows.
Many swallows are amongst the first birds to arrive each spring, and the first tree swallow is often seen in Western North Carolina as early as the first week of March, while the first barn and Northern rough-winged swallows will arrive about 2 to 3 weeks later.
Over the past few years, tree swallows have been rapidly expanding their range into the foothills and mountains of North Carolina, and have been reported nesting at both Beaver Lake Sanctuary and Lake Julian in Asheville, as well as in many other small wetlands and marshes throughout our area. They breed throughout northern parts of North America, from Alaska to Labrador, and are obviously a very successful species as they continue to push South into the Appalachians. They winter in huge numbers along the coast of the Carolinas where, as well as feeding on insects, they have adapted to feed on the hard wax myrtle berries that dominate the coastal thickets.
Tree swallows are easily identified by their glossy blue-green upperparts, snowy white breast and belly and short forked tail. They have a gently planing flight thats quite different to that of other swallows. So if you see a swallow over your neighborhood pond within the next week or so, its more than likely a tree swallow. Look for a nearby cavity or even a bluebird box. That is probably where it will be nesting.

After i updated to WordPress 2.9 this plugin no longer work.
No backups are sent by email no more.
Do you plan to fix this in a coming version? If so when will a new version come?
After i updated to WordPress 2.9 this plugin no longer work.
No backups are sent by email no more.
Do you plan to fix this in a coming version? If so when will a new version come?
There is nothing wrong with the current version, it works fine with WP2.9.
How come i no longer getting any emails?
I have no idea, cron timeout? Try the manual backup to see if the backup works fine.
Lester, I'm having the same problem with both sites I manage.
WP-DB-Manager will perform manual backups, but it has not performed the automatic backups since December 23.
Again, two different sites, on different servers, both running WP 2.9, same problem.
We need a fix.
You're awesome. Thanks!
We could use more information than a link, Lester.
Should we presume this job ticket relates to a problem that is preventing WP-DB-Manager from performing its scheduled backups?
If so, do you feel that WordPress is addressing the issue? Is a fix likely and imminent?
Thank you.
The ticket relates to failures of the cron system, so I'd guess so.
It has a committed fix, which means that the fix should appear in the next WordPress release, whenever that is.
bobjones: mrmist is right, there is a problem with the CRON in WP2.9, it has something to do with the CURL timeout as mentioned in the trac. WP2.9.1 should fix this issue.
Having said that, I think it only affects some servers as it works fine for my end.
Err... even manual backups are not working on 1 of my blogs which I upgraded to v2.9 couple of days back. :( When I try to backup db using the manual option, I get following PHP warnings & it doesn't backup anything:
Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for /home/userx/public_html/databasebackup/1262142716_-_userx_wrddb1.sql.gz in /home/userx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/database-backup.php on line 57
Warning: unlink(/home/userx/public_html/databasebackup/1262142716_-_userx_wrddb1.sql.gz) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/userx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/database-backup.php on line 58
In the function checks, all is green & it says - Excellent. You Are Good To Go.
What can be the issue here? My other blogs which are still running v2.8.6 on the same server don't have any such issues & (automatic & manual) backup is working fine on them & I get the backup emails everyday. Only this blog which I upgraded to v2.9 stopped getting backed up after the upgrade.
amit: Try the debugging method here -> http://forums.lesterchan.net/index.php/topic,1534.msg15907.html#msg15907
The check_backup_files() function isn't there in database-backup.php!! I echoed out the command after execute_backup() function & here's what I get:
/usr/bin/mysqldump --host="localhost" --user="dbuser" --password="dbpwrd" --add-drop-table --skip-lock-tables userx_wrddb1 | gzip > /home/userx/public_html/databasebackup/1262281649_-_userx_wrddb1.sql.gz
Me too facing the same issue :(
Amit: run that code in SSH of your host. If you no idea what that is contact your host
I've a cron running DB backups using that command & its working perfectly. Like I said earlier, I've other wordpress blogs (v2.8.6) running same plugin version on same server & mysql & they're all working fine & the plugin is making regular backups. Its just this 1 blog which I upgraded to v2.9 & after that the plugin stopped making backups & started giving these errors! :(
As mentioned earlier in the thread, this is a problem with cron with WP 2.9. That is why I asked you to run that SSH command in your shell to see if it works. If it works, most likely it that WP issue, if not then if maybe a plugin issue.
Cron issue I get in WP, but shouldn't the manual backup work then?
Yeap, manual should work. I doubt the upgrade to WP broke it. Most likely it is a permission issue or something. You still have not answered me whether the SSH command works, so please try it before asking more questions as when you run it natively in SSH command it will give your some user feedback. The plugin simply executes the command in your host SSH.
If not another alternative plugin is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/ where it uses PHP to generate backup rather than relying on SSH
Just ran the same command in SSH, no errors etc there & the backup got made without an issue. Checked in the backup directory & the backup file is there!!
cool, so we can narrow down to the PHP issue.
1. Is the folder CHMOD to 777?
2. Besides the Warning: filesize() and unlink() what error does DBManager tells you? Like "Backup File Size is 0?"
On line 218 of wp-dbmanager.php,
passthru($command, $error);
Replace With:
system($command, $error);
or if it still does not work try
exec($command, $error);
1. Yes the folder is CHMOD to 777, I just checked it again.
2. Besides the warnings I listed above, the DB Manager gives following as WordPress error (this is the one I just copied)
Database Failed To Backup On 'January 4, 2010 @ 6:59 pm'. Backup File Size Is 0KB.
3. I replaced the passthru() with system() & same warning & error came. I then tried exec() & the result was again same.
Hmm, weird. Sorry, I ran out of ideas.
just to let all know.. Since I upgraded to WordPress 2.9.1, the issue has been solved..
I didnt play with any settings in both case, I mean the 2.9.0 (when it stooped) and just waited for 2.9.1, where i see it has started it self and I can receive those emails again with my DB backup :)
Thanks again..
I just upgraded one of my other blogs to v2.9.1 from v2.8.6. The plugin was working fine on this blog (as mentioned earlier, it was not upgraded) but just now after WordPress upgrade, its no longer working & gives following error:
-- MySQL dump 10.11 -- -- Host: localhost Database: userb_wpdbt -- ------------------------------------------------------ -- Server version 5.0.87-community
/*!40101 SET NAMES utf8 */; /*!40103 SET @OLD_TIME_ZONE=@@TIME_ZONE */;

Seems to me something in WordPress is at play here because it was working alright just before upgrade.
Hmm weird, if you see the error you posted.
Means the MYSQLUMP command did indeed got executed by PHP, but it has the wrong arguments and hence MYSQLDUMP return the 40*** lines
Did you try running the command in SSH again for this blog?
Will load the site with some delay.
I am also having problems - when I save my options on the options page, the time of next backup is set the time I pressed save - therefore never coming as that time has already passed.
I run this on several sites across a few different hosts and they all seemed to stop working a while ago (I don't remember exactly when I'm afraid).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(Would your forum be a better place to post than here?)
When you press backup, the time is saved and the backup will be executed for the first time. If you did not receive the backup, it maybe because of WordPress's cron issue. I can't really do anything much because this type of issue is really very server and WP specific.
You may want to try http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/ as an alternative.
All my servers are linux based, and used to work. All are now up on 2.9.1 which apparently fixed a cron issue(?)
I appreciate your efforts in making the plugin in the first place and understand its a freebie. I'll happily keep using it regardless of automated backups. But live in hope that it will start working again :)
If you're ever curious to fix, let me know and I might be able to set up a test install of wordpress where it doesn't work.
Yea, 2.9.1 should fix the cron issue. It is the case for some users and for me.
Could you try the debugging method which I mentioned earlier in this thread to see if the command does work in SSH.

As Chinese Group Agrees To Self-Censor Web Content, Hackers Provide Workaround
As Chinese Group Agrees To Self-Censor Web Content, Hackers Provide Workaround
by , 7:30 AM EDT, July 17th, 2002
As a group of Chinese Internet professionals has formed, voluntarily pledging to keep Chinese websites free of politically objectionable material, a hacker group has announced that they will be releasing software that permits people in Net-censored countries to share information anonymously.
Since March, the Internet Society of China has attracted over 300 signatories to the "Public Pledge on Self-discipline for China Internet Industry." While the pledge contains much that is of use, including promotion of Internet use and prevention of cyber-crime, a troubling clause binds them to produce content that is not politically 'objectionable' to the Communist Party. The group of signatories to the pledge includes Yahoo's Chinese portal. According to a Wired News article:
Those who sign the pledge must refrain from "producing, posting or disseminating pernicious information that may jeopardize state security and disrupt social stability." The prohibition also covers information that breaks laws and spreads "superstition and obscenity." Members must remove material deemed offensive or face expulsion from the group.
Signers also pledge to monitor content of foreign-based websites and block those containing unspecified harmful information.
The pledge conforms closely to government policies making Internet service providers responsible for content posted on websites they host. It's a strategy to give the Internet enough room to blossom while keeping operators on notice not to push the envelope politically.
China's policy towards 'subversive' use of the Internet is severe, with long prison sentences for people who disseminate 'politically unsafe' information from blocked websites, and usage of Internet cafes closely monitored.
Hot on the heels of this pledge, the Hacktivismo group have announced that they will be offering free software to promote anonymous Internet use by people in China and other Net-censoring countries. A first program, named Camera/Shy, permits users to embed messages into images, a process known as steganography. Additionally, a hacker from Germany announced that Hacktivismo will release the 'Six/Four" protocol, enabling users to set up virtual private networks free from the scrutiny of governments. According to a CNet article:
Six/Four protocol designer Mixter said the system is named in honor of the date when Chinese authorities cracked down on democracy activists in Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989.
Six/Four is designed so that each computer user that uses software running the protocol becomes part of the shared capacity of the network, taking a page from so-called "peer-to-peer" sharing network that gave birth to Napster and other music sharing programs such as Gnutella.
"This is going to be a guerrilla information war," Oxblood Ruffin said. "Sites will pop up for a few days and then be taken down," he said as he described a "moving war," in which computer activists react quickly to government efforts to block such programs.
Although this will be a boon for those users in censored countries like China and some Middle East countries, it's likely that both Six/Four and Camera/Shy will trouble Western law enforcement agencies as well.
You can read more about both of these developments at the Wired andCNet News Web sites.
The Mac Observer Spin:If you've read through this and thought that the Hacktivismo announcements didn't apply much to you, think again -- US Observers should keep in mind how easy it is becoming for law enforcement to snoop on your online doings without a warrant or official investigation. Although the US is by no means as restrictive as China when it comes to Internet usage, such applications may become useful for those who value their privacy over an increasingly strident Justice Department. Those of you who have nothing to hide should still care.

Pendeen (from Cornish: Penn Din, otherwise known as Boskaswal Wartha)[1] is a village and ecclesiastical parish on the Penwith peninsula in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is 3 miles (4.8 km) north-northeast of St Just and 7 miles (11.3 km) west of Penzance.[2] It lies along the B3306 road which connects St Ives to Land's End and the A30 road.
The village has a community centre, a shop, a post office, a primary school, and a few small businesses. Community activities include an art club, a gardening club, silver marching band and a football club. Nearby settlements include Carnyorth and Trewellard and the historic Geevor Tin Mine is immediately north of the village.
The village gets its name from the headland on which Pendeen Lighthouse stands, a mile from the village. Like many other Cornish villages near the coast, Pendeen had a reputation for smuggling activities.
Pendeen is overlooked by a hill, Carn Eanes,[3] referred to locally as 'The Carn', the site of a quarry which provided the granite to build Pendeen church.
Pendeen lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park.
Pendeen is close (1km) to the South West Coast Path and in addition has a number of local footpaths for exploring the surroundings. Some of these paths are documented in Pendeen Walks
The parish Pendeen, originally named North St Just, was formed in 1846 from a number of settlements in the eastern part of the parish of St Just.[1] Pendeen comprised the settlements of Bojewyan, Portheras Cross, Boscaswell Downs, Lower Boscaswell, Trewellard, Carnyorth and part of Botallack . Before that time "Pendeen" would have been taken to mean the eponymous headland or Pendeen Manor, birthplace of Dr. William Borlase, rather than the village.
Buildings and antiquities[edit]
The Church of St John was built of granite: it was designed by the parson (Robert Aitken), built by the villagers in 1851 and refurbished in 1878.[4]
At Pendeen Vau is a picturesque farmhouse of the 16th-century (front added in 1670) and a fogou [56 ft long (17 m), with a side passage of 24 ft (7.3 m)].[5]
Horsefield's Life in a Cornish Village[edit]
Pendeen was the subject of the book 'Life in a Cornish Village' by the Rev. F. J. Horsefield in 1893. Horsefield, being an amateur historian, wrote of a multitude of aspects of Pendeen's past.
He wrote, for example, that Chûn Castle, on the 'gump' (Cornish for moor) was most likely a Danish (pre-)viking castle. It was built when the indigenous Celts (viz. 'Cornu-Britons') were joined by Danish military allies against the invading Saxons. The gump itself was a battlefield with many discovered urns indicating this violent history. There remains little trace of provenance for this assertion. Chun Castle is much older than first thought and is possibly Bronze Age or earlier, and much more likely to be the site of a fortified village. It was excavated in 1930 and is thought to have been built in the third century BC, far later than its neighbouring Chûn Quoit.
Boscaswell, arguably a part of Pendeen, traces its name to Bos Castle. Horsefield suggests that what is now Boscaswell was once the site of another Danish castle. Again now not thought to be true, again a wrongful supposition and the name has nothing to do with castles. At the lower end of Boscaswell, recent archaeological excavations are said to have suggested that the land has been occupied for more than 10,000 years. There is an ancient pagan well in Boscaswell which is where the name is thought to have its origins, the name suggests that it is the place (Bos) of Cas' (a person or entity or abbreviation thereof) Well (as in the English word). Problems often exist with such names when they become a hybrid of the indigenous Cornish and the persistent waves of English administration, land ownership and tourism that stretch back into time and continue today.
Geevor tin mine[edit]
Pendeen is famous for its Geevor Tin Mine. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh visited the mine in 1957. Little in the way of corroboration exists for the following speculations; however, mining has occurred in Pendeen for over 3000 years. 2000 years ago the Romans brought Jews to Pendeen to work the mines.[citation needed] These Jews, suggests Horsefield, came as slaves from the then recently sacked Jerusalem. Moreover, when Horsefield wrote his book, he claimed that locals still called a piece of tin a 'Jew's piece'. Jewish influence can be witnessed around Pendeen through names such as the village 'Bojewyn' (meaning 'abode of the Jews'); (Bojewyn is more likely to be translated from its Brythonic origins as meaning "John's Place", Jowan being a common Cornish family and first name whilst the prefix "Bos" could be most likely referring to a location or domain; Bosjowan is converted to Bojewyn through development of the indigenous dialect of West Penwith. 'Market Jew street' in Penzance, and the small town of 'Marazion' (of St Michael's Mount fame). Horsefield is now considered to be incorrect in his assertion about these names, with his interpretation of the place names; Market Jew Street and Marazion. Both places could derive their names from the Cornish language. Marghas yow is Cornish meaning Thursday market and Thursday is still considered as market day by many local people. Many Cornish place names survive in the form of the Middle or Early Cornish language and in this context the English meaning of the word Jew is probably completely different to that of its original Cornish Language meaning. For example, dialectically the word Jew could be a phonetic version of the written Cornish word "Dhu" meaning Black, as Cassiterrite tin ore is often black in colour until smelted when it turns white this further complicates the debate whilst clarifying the assertions made by Horsefield and similar speculations.
Horsefield also writes of a large natural cave named 'Pendeen Vau', the entrance of which is to be found on a cliff. Apparently this cave is vast, going far below & into the sea but its existence is disputed by many villagers.
Below Boscaswell is an area known as 'The Craft' which is mostly overgrown by gorse, fern and brambles, although many pathways exist. Here can be found abandoned mine buildings dating from the 19th century (including wash houses, engine houses and arsenic baths).
Pendeen boasts three beaches although some are more accessible than others. The largest of them, and the only one accessible at all states of the tide, was for many years the home of a wrecked ship the Alacrity until the army was called in to clear the wreck as it was presenting a danger to swimmers.
Below Pendeen Lighthouse can be found the wreck of 'The Liberty', although most of it has now been eroded away but the sea parts of the wreck are still visible at low tide on what locals call 'Liberty Rock' which is a favourite fishing spot.
Pendeen Primary School was one of the schools studied in the 1950s by Iona and Peter Opie[6]
Notable residents[edit]
William Borlase, naturalist and antiquary, was born at Pendeen: he was vicar of St Just for 40 years and rector of Ludgvan for 50. Frederic John Horsefield, 1893. In honour of the Borlase family the local football team Pendeen Rovers AFC ground is called Borlase Park as a thank you to the Borlase family for selling the land that they have played on for many years for the sum of £1000.
Pendeen in the media[edit]
In 2011, Overhill, a low-budget horror film, was shot in Pendeen with a cast made up largely of local people.[7] Following a preview at the North Inn, the film was premiered in the East End Film Festival in June 2013.[8]

Tornados lose first home game, falling to Mars Hill 28-13
Published: Saturday, October 17, 2009 at 10:30 p.m.

BREVARD It was a chilly autumn evening in Brevard Saturday in more ways than one. With temperatures hovering in the low 40s and a drizzling rain falling, the Brevard College Tornados fell to South Atlantic foe Mars Hill 28-13.
Jon Richt got the visiting Lions on the scoreboard first in the initial quarter when he tossed a pass to Travis Prince that covered 90 yards. Mike Pinkerton booted the first of four extra point kicks for a 7-0 lead with 13:13 still showing to be played in the first quarter.
With 6:55 left in the first quarter Derrick Church capped a 63 yard drive for Brevard, scampering into the end zone from 10 yards out. Chase Henrys point after kick knotted the scor4 at 7-7.
In the second period the Lions rode the arm of Luis Cruz to put two additional TDs on the scoreboard. The first covered 1 yard to Allen Hoener and Josh Johnson hauled in a 13 yard toss with 1:10 left in the half for a 21-7 lead.
In the third period McDowell scored on a one yard run for the Lions, opening a 28-7 margin.
Church closed out the scoring in the game with a one yard run that ended a 53 yard drive, and the try for a two point conversion failed.
The Tornado defense did an effective job stopping the Lions ground game, as they only had 128 yards on the ground. But 258 yards through the air and three touchdowns did in Brevard.
BC had only 112 yards rushing in the game, far below their 296 per game average.
Neville Bryce had 33 yards rushing to lead Brevard.
Former Spartanburg High standout Stanley Jones led the Tornado defense with 15 tackles.
Most of the damage the Lions did throughout the game came in the air, as Jon Richt was 8-12 for 146 yards and a touchdown, while Luis Cruz finished the game 8-16 for 112 yards and a pair of scoring tosses to go with the interception. Josh Johnson was the teams leading target, with six catches for 52 yards and a score, while Travis Prince turned both of his receptions for 146 yards, including a 90-yard touchdown reception on the Lions opening possession of the game.
Former Brevard High standout Frankie Waters had three catches for 25 yards for the Lions, while teammate Maurice Harris, also a former Blue Devil standout, had six tackles.
The loss drops the Tornados to 6-2 over for the season. In the SAC they are 2-2. Mars Hill moves to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the conference.
Next week the Tornados travel to Carson Newman for another SAC contest, while Mars Hill entertains Lenior Rhyne.

AbstractTremendous advances have been made in the development of large and accurate detailed reaction chemistry models for hydrocarbon fuels. Comparable progress has also been achieved in CFD as an engineering design tool. Highly accurate hydrocarbon chemistry is now desired for simulating gas turbine combustors and automobile engines to better predict both performance and pollutant emissions. Newer and more accurate CFD techniques like Large Eddy Simulation (LES) are being used more as computational power increases along with the demand for better flow predictions. Unfortunately, using large, detailed chemical mechanisms to simulate real turbulent combustion devices is problematic due to the sheer computational burden of the added chemistry. As a result, chemistry mechanisms employing a large number of chemical species are currently only feasible to run in the simplest of flow geometries, and only the simplest and least accurate chemistry models are currently tractable to run in LES CFD codes. We propose using a unique neural network approach to create a fast and accurate species source term function that could alleviate both of these problems.
