What happens when you pick up the phone and find that the line is dead? Or when you get to work and see an "out of order" sign on an elevator? No matter what the cause (freak accident, human error, or some technical glitch) you probably join the great human chorus: @*&!#!!, now what!
That's the nature of convenience. The upside of convenience is, well, convenience. But the downside is dependence. And the ride down is surprisingly steep. For instance, for years I balanced my checkbook with a pencil. And it worked fine. Then one day I bought an accounting program and found myself completely and utterly dependent on my computer. I think that ride took about twenty minutes.
Since I've never been a back-to-the-earth, Walden Pond kind of guy, I've enjoyed the wind in my hair as I coasted into this dependence. The only thing I regret is the way convenience makes bumps in the road invisible. I mean, when my pencil stopped writing, I could see the problem and sharpen it. When my typewriter broke, I could usually see what the problem was even when I couldn't actually fix it. But with computers...forget about it.
Well, unless you've been holed up in an ashram eating brown rice for the last twenty years, you know that convenience foods have turned cooking into a...let's just say that it makes bungee jumping look like the slow way down.
Take bouillon cubes. They started as a harmless shortcut, but I'll bet that for most of us, discovering that a jar of bouillon cubes is empty is like finding a dead phone. @*&!#!!, now what!
Not that I'm against bouillon cubes!
I'm not a fanatic about scratch cooking, I just hate to feel stymied when I reach for the can and the can's not there. And besides, just as writing a letter is sometimes more satisfying than printing one out, some days it feels good to start with real food rather than an assortment of boxes and bottles.
For instance, I generally use canned pumpkin for pies and muffins. I like the results and it's a whole lot easier than dealing with a real live pumpkin. But once in while those little six-pound pumpkins look so appealing I've just got to own one. And while I could pull a Martha Stewart and use the little guy as a centerpiece, it feels good to know how to cook a pumpkin.
There's something primal about buying real food. Some of it is the mystery. Whenever I see a conveyor belt of real food at the supermarket I start wondering.
I mean, everybody knows what you're going to do with a box of frozen macaroni and cheese. But a beautiful bunch of greens? Even a whole chicken makes you wonder. I can't tell you how many times people have asked me what I'm going to do with pile of exotic mushrooms or a cute little pumpkin. (I suspect a fair number of people also think I'm crazy for not simply buying canned pumpkin, but so it goes.)
There's also something a little subversive about buying real food. Think about it. The sworn duty of manufacturers is to get us hooked on their products. So every time you give a bottle of spaghetti sauce a pass and buy a tomato, you help a farmer and frustrate a marketing whiz.
Again, not that I want to go back to chopping wood and carrying water. I just like to think that if the culinary elevator is out I can cheerfully take the stairs.

With impeccable timing the England cricket team have abandoned traditional cable-knit wool sweaters in favour of "fleecy slipovers" executed in an untraditional-sounding fabric called ClimaWarm. Other garments are fashioned from the equally neologistic ClimaCool.
The sports manufacturer Adidas says: "ClimaCool isn't just another moisture-wicking fabric." Perish the thought. "It is an integrated system of technologies that work together to regulate the athlete's body temperature."
All this is doubtless a great comfort to any England cricketer who wants to minimise the risk of exposure when being washed out to sea in a pedalo..
One's view of whether this important development is a necessary step to give our lads the competitive edge, or an outrageous crime against the British way, depends on how one sees cricket. Is it a demanding sporting activity that tests a player's sinews and synapses to the limit? Or should it be classified as a gentle folkloric activity that is perhaps less physically demanding of its participants than morris dancing and yet invokes sartorial rules that are just as arcane.
At my school, all this sort of thing was taken seriously: pupils had to be equipped with a silk square to knot around their necks in order to be able to play cricket properly. By contrast, the recent pictures of England's cricketers showing off their new kit had me thinking of a police line-up.
The irony is, of course, that we are in the middle of a cricket sweater mini-boom. Club Colours, an East Anglian manufacturer of traditional sweaters, has apparently taken orders for 750,000 of the things since the beginning of the year.
Happily, cable-knit devotees will still be able to catch some summer sporting action. Even though our cricketers may have abandoned woollen sweaters, they are still in evidence on the tennis court. Ralph Lauren is the official supplier of blazers (navy with cream piping), trousers (cream) and knitwear (traditional) to the on-court umpires and judges at Wimbledon. For the American clothing king it was the culmination of a lifetime's admiration of British sporting elegance.
He says: "I have long been inspired by the rich heritage of England." I don't think he had pedalo boat theft in mind. "I am thrilled to be partnering with the All England Club/ Wimbledon and playing a major role in such a historic sporting event."
I would guess that sales are going to spike later this year with the big-screen remake of Brideshead Revisited. After all, it is hard to loll about an Oxford quad perfecting your effete teddy bear-dangling manner in a ClimaWarm fleece.

I like things big. I adore Palladian villas, monumental Mark Rothkos, vases of gladioli, eagles, 16-ounce T-bone steaks. I can grasp the attractiveness of cottages, Indian miniatures, lilies of the valley, guinea pigs, and roast quail. But it seems to me that, with a little more effort, any of these might make more of itself.
This predisposition to the outsized is typically American, but in me it is also caused by early exposure to that admirable pachyderm, Dr Seuss's Horton the Elephant. At four, I adored Horton Hatches the Egg, one of the lesser known Seuss books, but my favourite by far. I wonder, all these years later, whether I didn't have, at that time, some obscure recognition that this particular story applied to me? The poem concerns a charming but flighty bird called Mayzie who, bored by the longueurs of egg-sitting, wishes instead to go on an extended holiday to Palm Beach. She flirtatiously prevails upon the kindly elephant Horton to take her place up in the tiny tree, in spite of his considerable misgivings. "Why of all silly things!/ I haven't got feathers and I haven't wings./ ME on your egg? Why, that doesn't make sense.../ Your egg is so small, ma'am, and I'm so immense!"
Horton was the perfect embodiment of my father – loving, totally dependable - while my mother was a Mayzie through and through, loved a fag and a drink, was the life of any party. I loved both of them, differently. Just as I loved Horton and Mayzie. Seuss's characters are wonderfully crazy, embodiments of the lawlessness and egotism of childhood. His world is always in danger of falling apart: he is children's laureate of entropy.
Like my Mom, he didn't much like kids, because both knew you couldn't trust them. That doesn't bother me at all. Many of the greatest writers about children were like that: not only Dr Seuss, but Beatrix Potter, Charles M. Schulz and Lewis Carroll (unless they were half-naked little girls). But from such child-phobic writers we get many abiding images that shape our sense of ourselves. Yet I never thought of myself as one of Dr Seuss's child figures.
Though I flew to Horton like his newly-hatched chick, it was the estimable elephant with whom I identified. His heroism made me swoon: "he sat and he sat!" From which, I believe, I derive both a life-time preference for sitting rather than doing, and a tendency to present myself as bigger and more important than I actually am.
I am grateful for my inner Horton, who has otherwise guided me truly and well, though if I regret anything from our association it lies in my apparent need to emulate his waistline. I try to lose weight but unconsciously I just don't feel comfortable at an everyday size. It's better to be big.

The Long Range Strike-Bomber program has escaped sequestration cuts as the U.S. Air Force designated the program as a high priority. "As we looked at the sequestration impacts to the very early phases of the Long Range Strike-Bomber, the team was able to handle that 9% or so cut within its development by kind of working around certain issues and being able to structure the programme just a little differently," said Lt. Gen. Charles Davis.

In the Future, Everyone Will Have a Super-PAC
Nastier campaigns, "laundered" donations, untold millions: Welcome to the 2014 elections.
Charles Spies has seen the future of American elections, and it is drenched with super-PAC cash—much of it aimed at getting single politicians elected.
That's what Spies told me recently when I asked him to peer into his crystal ball and venture a prediction about the future of big-money politics in America. Spies (rhymes with "cheese") is a well-connected Republican lawyer and former top adviser to Mitt Romney's 2008 campaign. For the last election cycle, however, Spies choose to support Romney's presidential bid in a new way: He started a super-PAC.
Restore Our Future, the super-PAC Spies launched with two other Romney '08 alums, strategist Carl Forti and ad man Larry McCarthy, spent $161 million—the most of any super-PAC—to help elect Romney president, mostly by blasting President Obama with negative ads. Spies' candidate, of course, lost, but his experience running Restore Our Future taught him a thing or two about the strange, rapidly changing new world of super-PACs.
Super-PACs may have spent $635 million during the 2012 elections, but that's chump change compared to what they'll likely unload in the next presidential election. (Only 45 months away!) Ditto for the 2014 midterm elections compared to the 2010 midterms. Spies predicts at least 250 new super-PACs will spend serious money on races up and down the ballot in 2014. And he says voters should expect a lot of them to be devoted to promoting the fortune of a single House or Senate candidate, big-money bazookas firing away to nudge their preferred politician that much closer to Washington.
Spies is far from the only political expert predicting this super-PAC-filled future. Neil Reiff, an election lawyer who used to work at the Democratic National Committee, says any candidate running for Congress or the White House begins his or her campaign with a checklist. Now more than ever, a super-PAC will be high on those candidate checklists. As Reiff sees it, a super-PAC is not a novelty anymore, as it was in 2010 and 2012. It's a necessity.
Spies agrees. The 2012 elections opened incumbents' eyes to how powerful a well-run, deep-pocketed super-PAC can be. "No matter how safe of a district that you are in, having a super-PAC set up is a great way to deter a primary challenger," he says.
The likely proliferation of super-PACs, he adds, just might make it easier for incumbents to play to the middle. Instead of pandering to the fringes of the Democratic or Republican parties, causing candidates to twist themselves into knots and say things that could later damage them in a general election (see: Romney, Mitt), a politician could skip flirting with the ideologues, knowing that big-spending super-PAC will swoop in with air cover in the event party hardliners mount a serious primary assault. "A member that knows there is a super-PAC supporting him or her against a primary challenge has the flexibility to be more moderate," Spies says.
But even if Spies's theory turns out to be true, don't think that means that we're likely to see quieter, more genteel campaigns. In 2012, the onslaught of super-PAC spending fueled an all-out war over the airwaves, with super-PACs and other outside groups clogging up commercial breaks in Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, and other battleground states. Restore Our Future and the pro-Obama Priorities USA Action, the presidential race's two main single-candidate super-PACs, spent $90 million on 113,978 TV ads in 96 media markets between April 11 and October 29, according to the Wesleyan Media Project, which tracks political advertising. And that's just at the very top of the ballot: Super-PACs spent hundreds of millions more in congressional, senatorial, and other state-level races across the country.
And as the number of super-PACs has climbed, from 83 in late 2010 to almost 1,300 two years later (PDF), the number of nasty campaign ads has skyrocketed. Here's a snapshot: During the 2012 presidential primary season, 70 percent of all campaign ads were negative. That's a 750 percent increase from the 2008 presidential race. That sevenfold jump can't entirely be blamed on super-PACs—the candidates' campaigns ran lots of negative ads, too—but they played a significant part.
Mud-slinging comes naturally to super-PACs. Because they technically can't coordinate with candidates, it is far harder for a super-PAC to produce the kind of feel-good campaign ad that resonates with voters. Spies, for instance, couldn't sit down with Mitt Romney and record a warm conversation, or ask the candidate or his campaign to provide sepia-toned family archival footage. That would have been considered illegal collaboration. But it's easy and totally legal, Spies explains, to craft a bruising, effective negative ad.
Michael Franz, a codirector of the Wesleyan Media Project, agrees that the spike in super-PACs will bring nastier campaigns. "It's going be the case that the more super-PACs invest in elections, the more negative those elections will be," he says. "They're the ones doing the dirty work."
Meanwhile, Washington's "reformers," the activists and lawyers who want tighter regulations on campaign cash, are bracing for war. They see the rise of single-candidate super-PACs as a threat to our political system and an affront to election law. The reformers want the Federal Election Commission, the nation's beleaguered campaign watchdog, to crack down on the seemingly cozy ties between super-PACs and candidates. Fred Wertheimer, who runs the pro-regulation group Democracy 21, says single-candidate super-PACs are mere appendages of the campaigns themselves, and so allow donors to sidestep federal contribution limits and "launder" unlimited campaign cash to candidates. "Candidate-specific super-PACs," Wertheimer says, "are a dangerous fraud on the American people."
Yet the FEC has shown no interest in cracking down. Recently, the FEC's six commissioners—by law, three Democrats and three Republicans—deadlocked on whether to investigate a super-PAC created and bankrolled by the mother of Laura Ruderman, a Democrat who in 2012 ran for a House seat in Washington state. Ruderman's mom's super-PAC was devoted solely to elect Ruderman, and, naturally, mother and daughter spoke often throughout the campaign.
If any case screamed "coordination" and warranted an investigation, some reformers argue, this was it. But the FEC's 3-3 deadlock gives a tacit thumbs-up to future super-PACs with mother-daughter, father-son, brother-sister combinations.
"It paves the way for the trouble-free proliferation of super-PACs," Neil Reiff says. After all, if the FEC can't agree that a mother- or brother-run super-PAC is out of bounds, what are the chances they'll find any single-candidate super-PAC, whether run by a trusted adviser, lawyer, campaign operative, or closely tied lobbyist, steps over the line?

I have a cron job that scans through all mozilla repos I have checked out and looks in each one for an objdir. For each objdir, it triggers a nightly rebuild of whatever is in the source tree. (Some source trees also autoupdate before this step.) Currently, I have:
0 1 * * * for o in src/*/.hg/../obj*; do ( cd $o && make -j8 -s -k > nightly-build.log 2>&1 ); done
Note that this relies on my own naming convention of $srcdir/obj or $srcdir/obj-*.
However, this breaks when configure.in changes, because I need to re-do a make -f client.mk. And I don't know what mozconfig to use for a given objdir. And I often have multiple mozconfig files lying around, some of them sharing objdirs, so I don't really want to loop over all mozconfigs instead of all objdirs.
Ok, so this is really my own problem, but if client.mk were kind enough to store the mozconfig used, then I could just use that and this would all work.
Created attachment 615931 [details] [diff] [review]
save a copy of the mozconfig file in the objdir
this keeps a copy of whatever mozconfig file you used in $objdir/.mozconfig
I may be doing it the wrong way and/or using a dumb filename, but this would work for what I want.

The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies
A talk by by Shaunaka Rishi Das of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies
The word conversion conjures up images of determined zealots, waving their book, and haranguing a fallen soul to turn to the one true God. The issue of conversion in India has resulted in death and the destruction of sacred places. Some Hindus stand firmly by the assertion that there is no conversion in Hindu tradition. Some say you become a Hindu only by birth, and others maintain that the impure should not even be allowed into temples.
A talk by Ramesh Pattni of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies
Patañjali's Yogasūtra (c. 300CE) gives a framework for understanding the causes of stress and suffering. What is the nature of suffering? Why do we experience anxiety and pain? How and from where do these arise? Are there solutions to suffering that can be long-lasting? These are some of the questions that Patañjali addresses in his compilation on Yoga in which he gives techniques by which stress and suffering can be alleviated and even eliminated.
A talk by Dr Kiyokazu Okita of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies and The Hakubi Center for Advanced Research, Kyoto University, Japan
Have you ever fallen in love? Or have you become angry with someone? Strong emotions are often seen negatively since they can paralyse us and make us lose self-control. This is why detachment from worldly emotions and disciplining the mind are so important in the religious traditions of South Asia. However, emotions are so fundamental to our being that it seems impossible to do away with them completely.
A talk by Brainerd Prince of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies
Is Hinduism is a religion? The simple answer is yes – and no. It depends on how we understand the word 'religion'. We will look at the discussion on what religion is and what constitues a religion and try to understand how useful the very term 'religion' is in representing the life of most people of South Asian origin. Is Hinduism a religion as we understand the term or is it a diverse collection of traditions that reveal alternative ways of life?
A talk by Shaunaka Rishi Das of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies
Faith is an English word with baggage. In Sanskrit there are many words that cover the ground used by the word faith, and extend beyond that ground. But the Hindu ideas of faith don't distinguish between faith and reason, as is common in contemporary discourse, and don't often link faith and belief.
The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies will be hosting an international workshop on the theme 'Bengali Vaishnavism in the Modern Period' at Worcester College, Oxford, on 28–29 March, 2015. The workshop aims to bring together leading scholars and early-career researchers working on Bengali Vaishnavism across the disciplines to explore the tradition during the pivotal 'modern' phase of its development (roughly, mid-eighteenth to mid-twentieth century).
The workshop will also officially launch the OCHS research project 'Bengal
It is well known that the Gandhi took the Bhagavad Gita as his major religious resource and constantly reflected on its message for inspiration and energy. Indeed his autobiography suggests the influence of the text in its very title: The Story of my Experiments with Truth. To what extent did the Gita form the basis of his personal and political life? What were the precepts of the Gita which influenced his decisions and direction?
What better way to celebrate Ram Navmi then by visiting the beautiful temples of Leicester and raising money for the OCHS.
Join us on our sponsored walk that will take you to all the Temples in Leicester, marvel at the deities and the structure of the Temples themselves, understand the diversity within Hinduism.
The Temples we will be visiting are Jalaram Mandir, Jain Centre, Hare Krishna Temple (ISKCON), Shri Shirdi Sai Baba, Geeta Bhavan, Radha Krishna Mandir, Hindu Mandir, Sanatan Mandir, Swaminarayan Mandir (BAPS), Shreeji Haveli, Swaminarayan Mandir (ISSO), Shreeji Haveli, Ram Mandir,
A talk by Anuradha Dooney of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies.
With 2015 now upon us it is we can take stock of time past. We all hope for a better world, a brighter future, improved health and happier relationships, but it is not always easy to know how to make resolutions a reality. This talk draws inspiration from Hindu sacred texts, teachers, and teachings to shape our resolve and bring about change for good.
A talk by Dr Jason Birch of the OCHS
Modern yoga is generally believed to be an ancient discipline. However, many of the postures (āsana) of modern yoga are not mentioned in mediaeval yoga texts, such as the Haṭhapradīpikā. This has led to claims that most of the postures we see today are the invention of twentieth-century Indian gurus. This talk will provide a general history of yogic postures and assess the antiquity of modern postures in light of three late mediaeval manuscripts which contain new information.

Target spot, which is caused by the fungus Corynespora cassiicola, is an emerging disease in cotton in the Lower and Mid-South in the U.S. Phylogenetically, C. cassiicola isolates collected from cotton across the Lower South are distinct from those collected from other crops, particularly vegetables. This suggests that C. cassiicola isolates from cotton are either a recent introduction to the U.S. or has arisen from a mutation. Rainfall patterns along with variety selection and management inputs relating to yield potential influence the target spot risk in cotton. Greatest target spot-attributed defoliation and subsequent yield losses, which may exceed 300 pounds of lint per acre, have been recorded for an intensively managed, susceptible variety having a yield potential above 2.5 to 3 bales per acre.
Dr. Austin Hagan of Auburn University will discuss the results of a two-year study on developing integrated strategies for managing target spot in cotton. Topics that will be addressed in the webinar will include disease distribution, variety susceptibility and potential yield loss, efficacy of registered and candidate fungicides, fungicide application number, timing, methodology, and placement, as well as the influence of cotton cropping frequency, tillage practices, seeding rate, and planting date on disease development and cotton yield.

112 million drunks on the road
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports today that adults drank too much and got behind the wheel about 112 million times in 2010.
That's 300,000 incidents of drinking and driving each day.
That means, according to CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden that, "nearly 11,000 people are killed every year in crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver."
- Men were responsible for 81 percent of drinking and driving in 2010.
- Young men, ages 21-34, made up only 11 percent of the U.S. population in 2010, yet were responsible for 32 percent of all episodes of drinking and driving.
- Eighty-five percent of drinking and driving episodes were reported by people who also reported binge drinking. Binge drinking means five or more drinks for men or four or more drinks for women during a short period of time.
Bottom line: If you've had a few too many, or your friend has, stay out of the car and get the friend out of the car. Lives, literally, will be spared.

Most of my multi-chapter Naruto stories are on hiatus for a bit since I've lost some motivation there for now. Hopefully I'll finish them soon/eventually.
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and I'd rather be absolutely ridiculus than absolutely boring. -- Marilyn Monroe

This review is from: Panasonic ES-RW30-S Rechargeable Men's Wet/Dry Shaver w/ Dual Nanotech Blades
Pros: This was my first foil shaver, but for $26 I gave it a try. I use it daily, the battery lasts about five days. I don't see much difference from the rotary shavers I used to have. You must let your beard get use to it and takes time and practice getting used to it.
Cons: The foil on the pivoting head dents very easily.Thi is why I'm giving only 4 starts. The shaver fell on the floor (hardwood flooring) and the cutting head,blades and cover that holds the 2 foils, came apart. One the foils got dented, a cutting blades got lost. To buy just the 2 blade/foil combo was $25. online, so I bought another ES-RW30-S for $26, free shipping!! instead, it was no brainner. I find the replacement cutters/foil combo too expensive for this shaver. At about one year it gets dull and must be replaced.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: HTC Original Micro USB Data Cable for Thunderbolt, Inspire 4G, Incredible 2, HD7 , EVO 4G, Desire S Mobile Phones
Pros: Just as advertised, fits like a glove. The old cable must have frayed after coiling it for saving after each use. So I do not do it anymore, just hang it on the wall!!.
Cons: none so farREAD FULL REVIEW

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
I searched but didn't find any API to get that SIM is BIS enabled or not.
Is there any way?
I want to send a server request when data services and mobile network are available(programmatically )on a button click. There is some delay in network switching. Will it be handled by thread with a condition?
Please suggest.
Use This:
if (CoverageInfo.isCoverageSufficient(CoverageInfo.CO
VERAGE_BIS_B)) { System.out.println("Network BIS"); } else { System.out.println("Error: Not a BIS"); }
The code provided by developer_aman_arora will help you determine if the BIS Service is active. It does not actually determine if the device should have a BIS Service, To do this you can review the Service records. The code in this KB article does this to determine if the default Browser will be the BIS browser or not. I don't think this approach (selecting the Browser) is applicable any more but I think the code in createBISBrowserSession() can be used to check if the device has a BIS Service Book and so should be BIS enabled.
To make sure the code doesn't disappear should a link change, I have cut/pasted the code below, but please refer to the original link in case it has been updated.
/* * BIS: This forces the browser to go through the RIM-hosted * BIS gateway to access the Internet. Use the BIS Browser * if... * - The BIS browser offers a consistent experience across all * networks and does not limit which sites can be accessed, * therefore it should be used whenever possible * - You MUST use the BIS Browser if you are taking the user * to a web page where they may subscribe to special services * that are only available using BIS, such as "Web Signals" * * @returns BIS BrowserSession */ public static BrowserSession createBISBrowserSession() { // If there are browser services found - search for the // Service Record for the given browserType String uid = null; int numRecords = records.length; for( int i = 0; i < numRecords; i++ ) { ServiceRecord myRecord = records[i]; ServiceRecordHelper myRecordHelper = new ServiceRecordHelper(myRecord); if( myRecord.isValid() && !myRecord.isDisabled() && myRecordHelper.getConfigType() == ServiceRecordHelper.SERVICE_RECORD_CONFIG_TYPE_BIS ) { uid = myRecord.getUid(); break; } } return null == uid ? null : Browser.getSession(uid); }
