I'm comparing hosting providers, and I'm confused about some of the "unlimited" features. For example, webhostingbuzz.com claims to provide "unlimited websites" for as little as $6.95/month.
That sounds like I can sign up for one hosting account and have 10 different domains pointing to 10 separate websites.
Am I interpreting that incorrectly?
No, you interpreted that correctly, and a lot of hosts do that any more. So under your one hosting account, you can have 10 different domains/subdomain, etc and have them serve up different pages.
Usually your folder structure would resemble something like (via FTP):/your user/domain1//your user/domain2/etc.
That sure seems like a poor business model (for the hosting company).
Is there any downside for me, if I'm managing websites for multiple businesses?
The downside is that they are all in the one account so if you give anyone access to one of the sites they will have access to all of them. The fix for that downside is called a reseller account which costs a lot more but where the only extra feature provided is that each site will have its own secure area and access to one doesn't give access to all.
Disk Usage Provision. 90% or more of your content on your website must be linked from an HTML or similarly coded web page where all content is freely available to the public. Your website consists of web pages of a standard design, essentially HTML based text and graphics. Downloadable files, media, streaming content or any file which consumes more than 500kb of space must not exceed 10% of your total used disk quota.
I would guess due to the restrictions above most of the websites will be quite small as will the bandwidth usage. I have six sites ( not with this host ) and they are all functional and do the job the smallest is 1.7MB and the largest is 54MB.If you have ten of the larger size that is only around 540MB on their server. I suppose it is swings and roundabouts for the hosts; most sites will be small and a few people may have a few large ones.
Hmm... that isn't true for the host I use (and I have a shared account and a VPS account), but you'd have to look at closer at the features or ask, as when I looked at webhostingbuzz, it didn't exactly say if you can setup different user accounts for each site.
You can actually have 40 or 50 different domains with most shared hosting sellers. However if the number of files gets too large or if the traffic you have impacts the cpu, the host will throttle or suspend your account or limit it in different ways, it depends on the host.
Typically, with cPanel you can set up unique ftp accounts that will limit access to a portion of your site if you outsource work on one.
With all web hosts (especially those touting "unlimited" this and that) it's always worth looking at their AUP (Acceptable Usage Policy) to see any restrictions that are in force, see http://www.webhostingbuzz.com/acceptable-use-policy.php for instance. Also worth checking their T&C's for other stuff.
A shared hosting account that allows you access to set up multiple accounts within the one is generally called a reseller account and usually costs several times that which a shared hosting account that doesn't have that feature costs. Even with that feature it is still usually cheaper than a VPS because you are still sharing the server with a larger number of other accounts and also sharing some of the programs.
Yes but once they connect in there's nothing preventing them going up a level to get access to the entire account. While the FTP account starts in the particular folder and at first glance looks like that is all it has access to, it actually has access to the entire account.
More often than not, at a low price point hosting companies band unlimited around to catch peoples attention but dont really mean it - there is always a limit somewhere. This is where they get you to upgrade to the higher packages.
Well usually its not truly unlimited. Most hosts offering "unlimited" plans are really limited as per their TOS. If you read that closely, usually they say that accounts under unlimited Plan shall not exceed X number of inodes (files). Usually the figure is high say around 1,00,000 to 5,00,000. To take that into perspective a normal WP or Joomla installation would be anywhere from 5k to 10k files. But then you add images, media etc and usually most of them have auto thumbnail so it would create 3-5 different files of the same file. So say if you run a media related site and say showcase 1000 projects then just the images would be 5k. Given that under unlimited plan one could easily host 10-25 normal sites without major issues. Also you need to remember that its shared hosting so it would have effect on overall performance as file size of each individual user increases. Also most such sites have a policy not to host client sites. Best would be to buy "reseller" hosting plans where in each user would be given a specific area and cpanel and that individual account would have the limits you set for that account.
you better opt for reseller hosting if you like to have separate users accounts with cpanel. hostgators reseller hosting packages are good. otherwise godaddy deluxe hosting is best to host multiple websites.

The Snow Canyon Warriors football team hasn't seen the postseason since 2006, and that kind of resume ordinarily wouldn't make a new coach flush with excitement.
But it's also true that Snow Canyon scored a big win over Dixie, which eventually went on to capture the Class 3AA state title, in a late-season game.
That win shows Warriors coach Marcus Matua the possibility that may present itself on the gridiron.
"The talk among coaches is that it's going to take us a couple of years," Matua said. "We don't believe that. I'm excited. I'm stoked for this opportunity. The boys have been great. They've been working hard. They will be able to be competitive. We just need to solidify the depth chart."
Matua will turn to the likes of returners Trevor Horlacher and Keaton Plant to lead the team.
Horlacher, who spearheads the Warriors' defense at outside linebacker, is particularly versatile on offense Matua said the senior can "play anything" on that side of the ball.
Matua loves the participation numbers there are 80 players in the program.
"I think our chances are great," said Matua, who was hired to replace Jay Graft last December. "The kids have bought into the system. Snow Canyon has always had the talent. It's just a matter of putting it together."
Snow Canyon Warriors
ASSIGNMENT • Class 3AA South
LAST YEAR • 6-4 overall, 3-3 Region 9
KEY RETURNER • Trevor Horlacher, sr., RB/OLB
PLAYER TO WATCH • Keaton Plant, sr., OG/DT
BIGGEST HOLE • Defensive backfield
NEED TO KNOW • The quarterback position, which still is undetermined, will be key in Matua's shotgun, spread attack.

|This article uses material from the Hokage Monument article on the Naruto wiki at Wikia and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.
The Hokage Monument, Hokage Mountain also referred to as the Hokage Rock (火影岩, Hokage-iwa), is the most representative trait of Konohagakure. It is a mountain that has had the faces of all the Hokage carved into the stone. During the first episode, Naruto Uzumaki painted the faces of the four Hokage as a joke, and revealed that he planned to surpass them, stating that his face will someday too be in the monument. He also did it to grab attention, as the people of Konoha despised him for having the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed inside him.
At the beginning of the series, the Monument had the faces of the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, the Third Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage. During the time-skip, the face of the Fifth Hokage was added to the mountain. In the anime while the Fifth was in a coma, it was shown that the faces of Danzō Shimura and later Kakashi Hatake were to be carved in as the next Hokage after the Fifth, but Tsunade's recovery stopped this procedure before it could be done.
The Monument has been important during many parts of the story, mostly because of its symbolism:
- In the episode "The Appearance of Strange Visitors", the stone faces were jokingly shown to make disgusted grimaces and the monument of the Fourth holding his nose, when Naruto spilt a whole barrel of manure on the wannabe-spies Mondai and Potcha in what he thought to be taijutsu training.
- During Orochimaru's attack on Konoha, the Third Hokage's face cracked, giving a bad omen (signalling the Hokage's death at the hands of Orochimaru).
- During the Trap Master Arc, the climax occurred at the Hokage Monument, symbolizing that the future of the village was safe in the hands of the genin.
- During Pain's Invasion, after using Shinra Tensei, most of the village was destroyed, but the Hokage Monument escaped the gravitational attack. After his return, Naruto was confused about where he was. But, after seeing the Hokage Monument, he realised that the ruins he was surrounded by were the remains of Konoha.
There are several places built into and on top of the mountain where the monument such as the Konoha Archive Library as well as a safe house that the villagers evacuate to in times of dire straits. It was also shown durable enough to remain standing even after Pain's assault on the village.
- The first episode of Naruto Shippūden dedicated as the omake to the Hokage Monument, and the five faces it currently has.
- The monument is probably based on Mount Rushmore, located in the Black Hills, South Dakota, in the United States.
- The First Hokage's face on the Hokage Monument has a crack across the bridge of the nose similar to Iruka's scar. However, he didn't seem to have any scar or marking while he was alive.

Children's Hospital of Wisconsin has been improving the health of children with end-stage kidney disease for decades.
Children who undergo kidney transplants tend to have longer life spans and a better quality of life compared to other children who stay on dialysis. A kidney transplant can help a child feel more energetic and lead an active life.
Our goal at Children's to restore your child to health and get him or her back to an active life and a normalized childhood as quickly and safely as possible. As a result, 100% of our kidney transplant patients return to school about a month post-surgery.
The Children's kidney transplant team is with you and your family through every phase of the process, from evaluation to surgery to follow-up care. We want to assure your child is at his or her best. Your transplant coordinator will help guide you through each step.
Our experienced, dedicated specialists include:
Other pediatric specialists as required.
As the first in the state to perform a pediatric combined kidney and heart transplant, our world class team is dedicated to improving outcomes for children in renal failure.
As a part of that initiative, we have built key partnerships. Our affiliation with Froedtert Hospital allows for the best care of the donor. The transplant teams at the two facilities make the living donor transplant process as easy and seamless as possible.
We work with three different donor types in the hope of finding a donor kidney for your child as quickly as possible. These three sources are:
In addition, Children's works with researchers at the Blood Center of Wisconsin to perform transplants between donors and recipients with incompatible blood types. This can reduce the amount of time spent waiting for a kidney to become available.
Children's also collaborates with Dr. Ellis Avner, an internationally renowned researcher in polycystic kidney disease. As a result of his work with our liver team, children with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease can be offered the option of liver transplant.

Hey Good Folks,
Images probably account for at least 80% of of my site's data.
According to Google Analytics my page load times actually seem good (under 2 seconds) - except for one (18+ seconds), and it's the page that draws most of my visitors.
My thumnbails average around 15kb, but there are lots of them. Are they too big or just too many?
Maybe it'll help if I relate my image-editing process using GIMP.
I begin with an image of 3000px by 4000px that amount to 4.5MB - 6MB, and I crop as much as I can. I then scale these down so that the greater dimension will be 1100px. These are the images my thumbnails point to, and when I save them I reduce the quality to 85. I then scale these down again so that the greater dimension will be 300px, and further reduce the quality to 65. These are my thumbnails, and, as I've said, they amount to about 15kb.
Thanks for any help you can offer,jcmcobra
I would say that 10-20KB is pretty standard for thumbnails, so the problem is more likely to be that you do just have too many of them. Just how many have you got, if it's taking nearly 20 seconds to load? Is there any way that you can thin them out, or maybe split them over multiple pages? Another option, for people using Javascript, is to only load the first few of them to start with and then progressively load more as the user scrolls through the page.
You say that this is the most popular page – is it likely to be the first page that people land on? If so then speed is an issue, and you don't want a slow page to be the first one that greets people. On the other hand, if they typically land at a different page (which loads quickly) and then come through to this one, they're already invested in the site so they are more likely to be patient and stick around while it loads.

On the other hand, if they typically land at a different page (which loads quickly) and then come through to this one, they're already invested in the site so they are more likely to be patient and stick around while it loads.
Yea, I was thinking of breaking the page up into several, more focused pages. With about 120 thumbnails (and sure to grow indefinitely), it could easily be done. The thing is, I'm pretty sure that'll hurt my page ranking - at least in the short run. One reason it's the most visited page is that it ranks second only to my index.
Good question. It is easily the most likely landing page, so I'm in a bit of a conundrum. I would actually like to add content and make it even more appealing to both man and machine, but that would be pointless if visitors leave in disgust.
I'm open to suggestions.
By the way, http://drumdr.com/drum-repair-histories.html is the page in question.
If I can add my 2 cents here. I think you should make each repair a separate well SEO'd page about that specific drum. While most of your traffic is hitting this page now, I think you'll find that by splitting the pages up, you'll actually deliver the desired content to the user much more quickly. I see that you have Google Analytics installed already, so what I may suggest is taking a look at the way people are currently getting to your site (are they typing in a specific drum type and the word repair for example) and split those main keywords off into separate optimized pages. When you've got that all done, you can simply put ONE thumbnail of each drum type on this page and let them navigate to the content...
Again, just a suggestion...most people don't really like the long-scroll and this could expedite them to the correct content.
I already have a page for Djembe Repair and Tabla Repair (the two most popular drums I'm likely to repair). I'm definitely thinking of moving the histories specific to these drums from my Drum Repair Histories page to their relative Repair pages. I would then add a Doumbek Repair and a Frame Drum Repair (the two next most popular drums I'm likely to repair) page to which I would migrate the appropriate content from the Histories page. Hopefully, the traffic to my Histories page I would lose would be picked up by the Repair pages.
This is just a thought for now.
In the mean time, I've taken a closer look at Google Analytics and have come to realize that the 18+ second page load time is an AVERAGE and was due to ONE really lousy day. The average has now dropped to 9+ seconds.
I've also discovered Google's PageSpeed Insights, which analyzes your pages and offers extremely specific suggestions for improvement. Thanks to this tool, I've learned that I can reduce my thumbnails' file size by 50% or more without reducing their quality. That's huge! This is what I'm currently working on, and I intend to follow up on all appropriate suggestions.
I agree. Personally, you have to get me to swallow the hook to get me to keep scrolling and scrolling. For this reason, I'm sure that eventually I will probably break this page down eventually, even if the efforts I mention above work to perfection.
Your feedback is very much appreciated.
15kb for a thumbnail seems fine to me. I think it is just the issue of having too many accumulating. That is what causes the site to load slower.I wouldn't go much lower and risk losing quality.
You're probably right - there's just too many thumbnails. The thing is that Google's PageSpeed Insights specifically singles out all my thumbnails as the culprits of much of my page's poor performance AND it suggests that I scale them down. That's what I'm currently doing (a little at a time - lots of thumbnails), and I haven't noticed a loss in quality.
I'tll be a while, but once I'm done implementing all of PSI's suggestions I'll report the results.
Your feedback really is appreciated.
So I've scaled all my thumbnails down to about half their former size (without apparent loss in quality) AND I've compressed them. According to Google's PageSpeed Insights, the page load time has been fluctuating from about 5 secs to just under 10 secs. Better, but not what I'm shooting for.
The thing is, I don't know how much credit to give Google on this. I've put my website through other page speed analyzers (Pingdom, for example) and get much better results. Any thoughts on this?
Any way, I've begun to add my repair histories on their respective pages (doumbek repairs on my Doumbek Repair page), rather than continuing to bloat the Repair Histories page. It's a shame because it's my most visited page and ranks well in the serps.
To be honest, for the amount of thumbnails you got, I'm suprised that you got any lower figure!
Try these points:
So you think markup errors are contributing to lag time?
As I mention above, I've tried other analysers, including Pingdom, and have gotten much better results. That's why I'm not sure how much credit to give Google Analytics on this. I just tried Pingdom again and the result was 2.39 seconds with a performance grade of 100/100.
This is new to me. Have you had success with it? Just did a quick search and find conflicting opinions. Not only that, there's much to consider - page rank may suffer, for example.
I had time on my hands so decided to download your web page, remove most of the HTML and CSS errors, uploaded images, scripts, etc to my site and also uploaded the images on to a sub-domain.
Let me know if there is much of a difference, etc
Hey John B.,
Thank you for taking so much time to help me look into this.
Maybe you can spell out for me how what you've done helps, because I don't see it. According to Google PageSpeed Insights, your version scores an 89 compared to the 75 my current version scores. The difference in scores, as far as I can tell, is that your version leverages browser caching. This will speed up the page's performance for returning visitors, but I'm not really concerned about that. I don't expect my visitors to return again and again.
As I've already stated, Pingdom gives my version a 100/100 performance grade and clocks the page's load time at just over 2 seconds. For some reason, Pingdom had trouble accessing your server, so I wasn't able to make that comparison.
I still need to look into how serving images from a sub-domain would impact page ranking and, possibly, other SEO concerns.
Hi jcmcobra,
>>> Maybe you can spell out for me how what you've done helps, because I don't see it. 1. remove most of the HTML and CSS errors2. uploaded the images on to a sub-domain3. moved most of the heading JavaScript to a file whcih is loaded just before </body> statement
>>> This will speed up the page's performance for returning visitors, but I'm not really concerned about that. I don't expect my visitors to return again and again.The page load is quicker and I do not think it is due to caching.
>>> For some reason, Pingdom had trouble accessing your server, so I wasn't able to make that comparison.Pingdom's site is too popular and frequently I have to wait in a queue before my request is accepted. Try again and see if you can test the site.
The changes I made appear as though the page displays very quickly and the images gradually appear as they are loaded from the sub-domain. This was the goal in decreasing "Page Load Time".
Use gzip, header compression and HTML/CSS JS compression to reduce the page speed. Also it seems you have linked the images with your thumbnails , so try to load them via Ajax, this way you can save lots of requests as well as page size and can reduce the page load time.
OK. I know it's taken a long time to respond. Sorry. My OS wanted to die on me, so I had to focus on that for a while.
I've taken care of item 1. Thanks for the reference to W3's validator. Great tool. I cleaned up my mark up (had HUNDREDS of missing quotation marks and forward slashes, plus a few more serious bugs [on the entire site, not just the one page]). As I said earlier, I've also begun migrating some of its content to other pages. I'm still adding new projects that don't fit anywhere else, though, so I've decreased the number of images only slightly.
Google Analytics is currently listing the page's speed at under 7 seconds. Getting better.
Still need to research what item 2 will do to the page's rankings. I have no doubt that it will improve the load speed.
Will be working on itme 3 next.
Thanks for the suggestions evemper. This all new to me, so it'll take me a while to do the research and get a handle on it. Will report back (eventually).
I appreciate your help,jcmcobra

Gotcha fellas, it's just on my end. I had a deb file for this fix prior to release and that one worked for me. No luck since I tried the official packages. Now even if I go back to the original deb I used its not working. Darn finicky iPhones. Maybe something got contaminated along the way.
What's the battery issue your mentioning Grant?
I also kept the deb from the first one so I am using it again.
I will for instance lower my brightness at night to the lowest setting, then say the phone autolocks, when unlocking again -- my brightness will be medium-max brightness. It is the opposite at times as well I'll higher my brightness and after a respring or autolock/unlock it will be set to the lowest brightness. What gives?!
I'm willing to give any tweak a try as its driving me crazy...I have already restored from new and I don't have a TON of tweaks installed either.
Hmm. The problem that the new AND the old tweak fixes is only a full dimming after a respring from some tweaks. The 'full brite' aspects that you're referring to won't be fixed by either of these tweaks - the new or old one. Sounds like you have two different issues.
Those of us who had the old one have been asked not to share since it was pirated - and that's why it was pulled from Cydia. So I'm not a liberty to share it. I'm sorry. Write to the developer of the new one and share with them your bug report.
Good luck!

Maxwell-Stefan Diffusion in a Fuel Cell Unit Cell
Application ID: 247
In concentrated gases and liquids, where the concentrations of species are of the same order of magnitude, there is no obvious solvent-solute relationship. Fick's law for diffusion accounts only for one-way solute-solvent interactions whereas the Maxwell-Stefan equations account for all interactions of species in a solution. In a system with three components, three pair-wise interactions are present, while for a system of four components there are six such interactions. These interactions are described as Fick-analogous Maxwell-Stefan diffusion coefficients.
This example models the steady-state mass transport in the cross section of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell cathode. It models the mass transport in the 3-component gas mixture by using a Concentrated Species interface including a Maxwell-Stefan diffusion model. The cross section includes the channel and current collector in the bipolar plate, at the upper boundary, while the active layer defines the lower boundary.
The purpose of this model is to show how to consider Maxwell-Stefan diffusion in mass transport.

Today: 10 Years Since Harkin-Engel
Monday, September 19th, 2011 marks the ten-year anniversary of the signing of the Harkin-Engel Protocol—an agreement signed by the country's largest chocolate companies to put an end to forced child labor on cocoa farms by 2005. Now, six years later, the chocolate companies still dragging its feet and hundreds of thousands of children continue to work long, grueling hours in the cocoa fields of West Africa, according to a report funded by the US Department of Labor.
Last fall, Green America published a corporate-responsibility report for the Hershey company, pointing out that it lags behind its peers and competitors (many of which are doing no better) in taking action for a fair supply chain. Other companies have read our original report on Hershey's practices and have increased their commitment to Fair Trade – but still no commitment from Hershey.
So today we released our second alternative corporate social responsibility report for the Hershey Company: STILL Time to Raise the Bar: The REAL CSR report for The Hershey Company [PDF]. In this report we highlight Hershey's ongoing failure to trace its supply chain and stop child labor. We also call out Hershey as the laggard in the industry—being the only major chocolate company that has failed to adopt ANY third party certifications for its cocoa.
Bottom line: We have to keep the pressure on Hershey. As chocolate-lovers and consumers, we have the power to change Hershey. Let Hershey know you will not tolerate chocolate made at the expense of children!

Hello everyone.
I faced with problem of implementing regular expression filters in ettercap. My research start-point begin from IronGeeks post "Fun with Ettercap Filters". This is quite nice fun filter. It's work fine for my lab...
Next step was improving it to replace not just:
but also:Code:
To solve this I decide use:Code:
to find patterns: regex(where, regex)
to replace patterns: pcre_regex(where, pcre_regex ... )
Short (and unique) description for this functions I get from: man etterfilter and "Irongeek etterfilter man page"
I'm not good in regular expressions, but after some reading I implement this regular expression:
search pattern: /i/g(]src=['|"])(.*[^'"])(['|"])
replace pattern:$1NEWImage.png$3
Using web-regular-expression-tester (for example regexter.com) I can successfully convert html.
After all this stuff i decide rewrite filter described in article above, and now it looks like:
But filter do not work...Code:if (ip.proto == TCP && tcp.dst == 80) { if (search(DATA.data, "Accept-Encoding")) { replace("Accept-Encoding", "Accept-Rubbish!"); msg("."); } } if (ip.proto == TCP && tcp.src == 80) { if (pcre_regex(DATA.data, "/i/g(]src=['|\"])(.*[^'\"])(['|\"])", "$1tmp_image.png$3")){ msg("\n---> Perl regexp <---\n"); } }
As I can see in log - ettercap say that this works fine
butCode:replace("Accept-Encoding", "Accept-Rubbish!");
just not foundCode:pcre_regex(DATA.data, "/i/g(]src=['|\"])(.*[^'\"])(['|\"])", "$1tmp_image.png$3")
I will be very appreciated if you can help me!
After some time of research I realise that problem ca be solved by writing my own plugin...
I read some articles about writing plugins, and try to compile dummyplugin, but in BT4 distro I can't find source files, then I try search ettercap-dev (- source and etc) in repositories but I was enable to find thus I download them from official web site...
After unpacking source files i use plugin sources to compile plugins and i gained success, but when I try to use compiled dummypulgin in ettercanNG wich is supplied with BT4 it crashes...
So, if anyone can tell me how where I can find BT4 ettercapNG source files I will be appreciated!
And last, but not least.
My environmnet is:
hp notebook: windows
virtual box: BT4 prefinal
I'm using ettercamNG 0.7.3 and can successfully poison arp cash of my notebook

Carbon Tax Looming, Big Business Gets Ready to Pay Up
(NEWSER) – First came news that 90 companies are to blame for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions. Now, more than two dozen big US corporations are planning for a future that involves paying for their pollution. A survey by green-data firm CDP shows that 29 companies, including Exxon, Chevron, and Walmart, are factoring a carbon-emission price into their long-term financial plans, reports the New York Times. The move suggests they'd be more likely to support policies designed to ease climate change. "Companies see that the trend [of cutting emissions] is inevitable," says a CDP exec. "What you see here is a hardening of that understanding."

The Odd Tale of a Stolen Laptop Recovered by Victim's Twitter Posse
Writer Sean Power was the victim of laptop thievery in Brooklyn; a type of gankery that rattles many of us to our very core. Luckily for him, he was using open source anti-theft program Prey and was able to track -- and eventually retrieve -- his stolen electronic lifeblood with the help of a posse of his Twitter followers who happened to be in the area of the tracked stolen laptop.
The story is actually quite interesting, and is even accompanied by a log of tweets documenting the tracking and recovery process, but some feel the story may actually be a hoax -- a secret marketing ploy for the security software. Read on after the break for the interesting tale.Read More

Below is an interview with Jason Poland, one of the many exhibitors at the 2011 Zine Fest Houston.
What is your favorite part of ZineFest?
It's a party! If comic festivals were like Ninja Turtles, ZineFest would be Michaelangelo.
What are your favorite zines/minicomics?
My favorite self published books are all comics: Austin Bedell's Skweegie Island, Zach Taylor's Bear Quest, and Chris Sweet's mini books are all very polished examples of independently printed books.
What will be at your table at this years ZineFest?
At my table you'll find the Robbie and Bobby mini books, and some really cool hand screened t-shirts. I'll have a special ZineFest discount on the shirts! I'm also sharing half my table with Film Monitor! It's good to have a buddy at these things.
What other creative ventures do you have besides creating zines?
I post Robbie and Bobby comics five days a week online, and I've recently gotten into silk screening. I plan to print more shirts and some posters soon!
What new projects are you working on this year?
I'm working on a collaborative comic book with Chris Sweet, and I'm drawing a three page comic for the next issue of NANO Fiction. They're bigger than anything I've worked on before! Very exciting and challenging stuff.

I read the claim yesterday as it floated around the internet:
How would you feel if you received a letter from the U.S. Government informing you that because of a physical or mental condition that the government says you have it is proposing to rule that you are incompetent to handle your own financial affairs? Suppose that letter also stated that the government is going to appoint a stranger to handle your affairs for you at your expense? That would certainly be scary enough but it gets worse.
What if that letter also stated: "A determination of incompetency will prohibit you from purchasing, possessing, receiving, or transporting a firearm or ammunition. If you knowingly violate any of these prohibitions, you may be fined, imprisoned, or both pursuant to the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, Pub.L.No. 103-159, as implemented at 18, United States Code 924(a)(2)."?
That makes is sound like something right from a documentary on a tyrannical dictatorship somewhere in the world. Yet, as I write this I have a copy of such a letter right in front of me. It is being sent by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of America's heroes. In my capacity as Executive Director of the United States Justice Foundation (USJF) I have been contacted by some of these veterans and the stories I am getting are appalling.
I have no idea who Michael Connelly is, but I can tell you this: his story is misleading at best, and purposeful fear-mongering at worst.
Connelly lays this out in such a way that the average person reading this gets the impression that the VA is arbitrarily sending letters to unsuspecting veterans that they've lost their 2nd Amendment rights because someone in far away Washington summarily checked a box on a whim. It is portrayed as a bolt from the blue, affecting a large percentage of veterans.
What is really going on is that if a veteran is having financial problems, someone, usually his immediate family, can request for his benefits to be placed in guardianship. It allows the VA to pay the family so that they can handle a disabled vet's finances and get his bills paid. When a veteran's affairs are placed in guardianship, then this provision kicks in.
This doesn't happen to someone just because they went into combat, or if they have some level of PTSD, or if they have a head injury. This generally applies to folks that are seriously mentally compromised. It applies to guys who are, as one veteran's expert informed me this morning:
"…either comatose, make poor life decisions, spend their VA check on drugs, or (like the guy I once represented) were pissed off that the T-Rex in the back yard was eating his vegetables."
Now, what happens if someone is placed on this list who feels he doesn't deserve it? They can get a hearing, provide evidence, etc. and get their day in court to have their Second Amendment rights restored via due process.
Now, is this an ideal and perfect process? Of course not. It has humans involved in trying to figured out the messy workings of someone else's gray matter, and that is an iffy proposition that MDs and PhDs that work directly with patients for years still get wrong from time to time.
But it's a far cry from what people are choosing to read into this, which is that the VA is arbitrarily disarming vets on a whim.

Excellent work. Very detailed explanation and fix. I realize its not a bug however I feel it deserves a place in the fix section. I would encourage anyone else in the same situation to give this a try and give us some feedback.
Took me quite a while, and I'm a n00b with Linux, but I got it working through boot on my laptop into KDE. There were numerous files needed and some mods to others required. I worked with the "USB" distro as I could modify its contents on a WinXP desktop, use the "make_iso.bat" file and burn the ISO file to a DVD (the USB distro is too big for a CD), using a DVD-RW until I got it right for my laptop machine. Note that two lines in the "make_iso.bat" file need to be corrected (already posted to the forum elsewhere):
This is what I did to get it all working for a laptop with an ATi XPress1250 that uses shared RAM for graphics, including the Catalyst Control Panel:
Downloaded several versions of ATi graphics driver installs from ATi's site (listed from oldest to newest release). I got several as I didn't know if one would work better than the next:
These are all executable ".run" installers. However, one of the options when executed is building distribution packages. These only show support for a couple versions of Linux, and Slackware isn't one of them. However these do support quite a few other Linux distros. Run from a command line with the "--listpkg" switch lists all the distribution packages it can generate and the command line needed to do so. Although Slackware packages are not shown on the graphical panel, if run from a command line with the switch "--buildpkg Slackware/All" it will build two ".tgz" files, one with the basic drivers (the smaller file), and the other with controls (the larger file). These can be converted for Slax use by using the "tgz2lzm" command on both of them.
- ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run
- ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run
- ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run
- ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run (listed as 7.12 Catalyst)
Important Note:
I got everything working with the first three listed, but never was able to make the Slackware distribution packages made using the newest "7.12" release work properly. I'm currently using the 7.11 release. YMMV. It did work when installed from a command line instead of Slackware package generation. I suspect something is "broken" in its Slackware distribution package generator. YMMV.
Simply placing the two files into the "modules" directories will load them, but when it boots up, it will still dump out to a command prompt. The ATi drivers must be initialized with the following command line:
aticonfig --initial --force
The "--force" switch is optional, but I had some problems early one if it was left off. It forces the initialization of the ATi "fglrx" drivers in the "xorg.conf" file. Entering this manually turned into a PITA, as did the need to manually log on. This led to creating a small "aticonfig.sh" script file, and modifying both the "isolinux.cfg" and "syslinux.cfg" files. Initially the "aticonfig.sh" file only contained a single line (more about several lines added to it later):
aticonfig --initial --force
I placed this file in the "rootcopy" directory. A number of "autoexec" portions of the "APPEND" entries in the "isolinux.cfg" and "syslinux.cfg" files were then modified, and I eliminated the "VESA" and "nVidia" boot options entirely. This "autoexec=" is from the first option that boots into KDE, and note that it eliminates the original "xconf" and replaces it with ATi's command line to configure the file for the ATi drivers, and it calls it using the shell file that has been copied to the root:
This finally got me booting into KDE, and for me it was at the highest resolution of 1280x800. However, in order to change the graphics resolution, the ATi Catalyst Control Center is needed, and although it was present on the start menu, it would not start. It was missing some file package dependencies. To get that working took some reading of ATi's installation notes, and finding some Slackware packages it needed. The ATi Catalyst Control Center is dependent on:
A little poking around in the libraries once it was booted found the BT3 Beta distro came with the gcc 4.1.2 C library already, it only needed the C++ module added, and I found it and a compact QT library for Slackware 12 on the Slackware package distribution site (gcc-g++-4.1.2-i486-1.tgz and qt-3.3.8-i486-5_slack12.0.tgz). Both of these were converted to Slax "lzm" files by placing the "tgz" files into the "rootcopy" directory, and using the "tgz2lzm" command on them. The resulting "lzm" versions were then placed into the "modules" directory. The backward compatibility file turned out to be very hard to find, but finally located a "cxxlibs-6.0.8-i486-4.tgz" file, also on the Slackware package site (under Slackware 12). If "amdcccle" (name of Catalyst Control Center binary) is entered on a command line, a specific, older C++ file library (version 5) cannot be found. The problem with the "cxxlibs-6.0.8-i486-4.tgz" is where it wants to place its files -- under the "usr/lib" directory in the "i486-slackware-linux" subdirectory (in "usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib" instead of "usr/lib"). This doesn't work as "amdcccle" for the C++ files it needs in the "usr/lib" directory. The file structure inside the "tgz" had to be modified along with its "doinst.sh" shell script that installs the files. I had to pace the "tgz" in the rootcopy directory, unpack the "tgz" archive (using ark), move the C++ files to the "usr/lib" directory, modify the "doinst.sh" shell script accordingly (to put the new files into the "usr/lib" directory), repack it into a "tgz" archive, and then use the "tgz2lzm" command to make an "lzm" out of it. Once it was placed into the "modules" directory, along with the QT and gcc-g++ libraries, the ATi Catalyst Control Center came to life.
- Qt (library)
- gcc-g++ (C++ library)
- cxxlibs (a Slackware file for backward compatibility with previous gcc-g++ libraries)
The final fix took care of the fact that the integrated X1250 graphics uses POSIX "shared RAM" for graphics, and it needs to be enabled. It will work without it, but can cause some problems with 2D and 3D rendering resulting in error messages. This isn't enabled in the Slax distro, and the ATi drivers don't take care of it either. To allocate RAM for the X1250's 2D/3D graphics, I added some commands to the original "aticonfig.sh" script file so that it now reads (and it needs to be all on a single line):
echo "tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab; mount /dev/shm; mount | grep "shm"; aticonfig --initial --force
What this does (commands separated by ";"):
Since the "fstab" file is created during boot-up long before this script is run, there's no need to check to see if it already exists (if it doesn't, there's something more seriously wrong that getting the POSIX shared RAM enabled).
- Appends "tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0" to the "fstab" file found in the "etc" directory to create it
- Mounts the "shm" (shared memory) to make it available for use
- Executes a "grep" command to verify it's done (this was purely for my debugging while it was booting)
- Executes the original "aticonfig --initial --force" command to configure the ATi graphics in the "xorg.conf" file at the end
While poking around through the Slackware 12 packages, I found Mesa 7.02 had been released (mesa-7.0.2-i486-1.tgz). Converted it to an "lzm" and replaced version 7.01 with it (the ATi graphics drivers need libraries inside Mesa). Works with 7.01, but while I was at it doing everything else, why not? This one was easy.
While poking around the X.org site, I found a very newly released "xf86-video-radeonhd-1.0.0-i486-1.tgz" package for newer ATi/Radeon chipsets, including the chipset used in my X1250 graphics. Made an "lzm" from it and placed it in the "modules" directory also (very small file).
Files Added To Modules Directory:
File Deleted From Modules Directory:
- fglrx-module-8.XX.X-x86-1_kernel_18.104.22.168.lzm (drivers; version depends on which ATi driver package was used)
- fglrx-x710-8.XX.X-x86-1.lzm (Catalyst Control Center; version depends on which ATi driver package was used)
- xf86-video-radeonhd-1.0.0-i486-1.lzm (from X.org site for newer Radeon chipsets)
- qt-3.3.8-i486-5_slack12.0.lzm (QT library)
- gcc-g++-4.1.2-i486-1.lzm (C++ library)
- cxxlibs-6.0.8-i486-4.lzm (C++ backward compatibility files -- as modified to fix it)
- mesa-7.0.2-i486-1.lzm
File Created and Added To Copyroot Directory:
- mesa701.lzm
Files Modified:
- aticonfig.sh
Slackware 12 Package Repository:
- cxxlibs-6.0.8-i486-4.lzm (correct its internal directory structure and install)
- isolinux.cfg (execute the aticonfig.sh script to configure the ATi drivers and enabling POSIX shared RAM)
- syslinux.cfg (execute the aticonfig.sh script to configure the ATi drivers and enabling POSIX shared RAM)
- (cannot post URL's yet -- Google "Slackware" and on their home page is a link to the package repositories)
I realize this does not create a "universal" bootable DVD, and likely some of my mods, especially with how I implemented the "aticonfig.sh" scripting, and modified the "isolinux.cfg" and "syslinux.cfg" files. Perhaps someone less n00b than I with Linux can make this cleaner. However, it's how I fixed BT3 Beta to fully boot on my HP 6515b laptop with its ATi X1250 integrated graphics.
Last but NOT least -- if I've posted this in the wrong place, please move it.
Excellent work. Very detailed explanation and fix. I realize its not a bug however I feel it deserves a place in the fix section. I would encourage anyone else in the same situation to give this a try and give us some feedback.
As a footnote -- and why I dove so deep into the fix -- the ATi X1250 is limited to 60 Hz and it uses POSIX shared memory. Uncertain but suspect it's not the only ATi laptop graphics chipset that has this limitation (among their newer chipsets).
Generic VESA at 75 Hz bombed out to a command line (the "bash"). Until at least the ATi Slackware drivers were in the modules directory I couldn't get it into a GUI at all using any of the startup options, or the "xconf" command followed by a "startx." I agree that it's not a problem with BackTrack's specific tools. It's Slackware and Slax not handling newer ATi chipsets very well. The two most important things that got the KDE GUI working well (1) Getting the ATi drivers into the modules directory (the smaller ATi file) and (2) enabling the POSIX Shared Memory (/dev/shm) support.
Problems found with the C++ backward compatibility library (cxxlibs-6.0.8-i486-4.tgz):
I believe this library was originally created by someone to fix the C++ backward compatibility problem with a Slackware /x64 distro, not a 32-bit, and that's why the original "tgz" I found put the C++ libraries where it did. To the best of my knowledge, nobody ever uploaded one that was "fixed" (for 32-bit distros ??) to a Slackware repository.
The newer ATi laptop graphics are a real headache to get working in many Linux distros that use X11, especially the "Live" ones for which a permanent one-time install (using the ".run" file) isn't very feasible. In my "Google" searches for a fix, I found quite a few postings in many forums about newer ATi chipset problems. None of them had very satisfactory replies to them. Found bits, pieces and clues here and there. Many had zero (useful) replies.
Thanks - and Happy Holidays!
You can type in the commands contained in the "aticonfig.sh" script manually at the command prompt, and then start KDE, but it became a PITA for me to execute them when I booted into BackTrack. It's why I wrote the script and modified the two "cfg" files to run it.
- Both "fglrx" driver files (from ATi -- don't use the "current" one, use the one just prior to it -- the 7.11 Catalyst -- there's a link below the current driver download on ATi's site that lists prior releases with links for them -- I had nothing but trouble with the 7.12 Catalyst -- and you'll have to build the "tgz" modules, then convert them to "lzm" modules, from the downloaded "run" file -- as I described above).
- Keep the "Mesa" file (you can use the existing 7.01 if you want).
- Build the "aticonfig.sh" script to initialize the drivers and enable POSIX shared RAM.
- Modify the syslinux.cfg and isolinux.cfg files to execute that script during startup.
The "radeonhd" file from X.org isn't essential, and everything else was done to get the Control Panel functioning. BTW, I'm not using compiz either.
thanks a lot!
does this fix compiz for the 200m? compiz wont work right w bt3, or @ all under ubuntu
i'll test tomorrow night if i get time
Tried a number of things -- all no go. Went to Compiz web site and did some deeper searching. Seems the problem of newer ATi graphics chipsets (that must use the ATi proprietary drivers) and Compiz is well-known, and "it's being worked on." My take on it: Linux tends to lag some with hardware support unless the vendor makes the effort to provide it. In this case there's Linux drivers for the newer chipsets, and they work, but apparently not with Compiz (yet -- which Compiz will have to take the lead in fixing).
I do not have the hard ware to test this so I can't confirm it validity.
tested this with my dell e1705 with an ati x1400 and it worked like a charm thanks !

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Women's Golf program will play in their inaugural tournament next week at the Glen Cannon Fall Invitational. This history making event marks the official start of the Brevard College Athletic Departments newest sport.
"I am thrilled and delighted to be part of this new chapter in the history of BC Athletics," said Coach Nelson. "Very few coaches have the opportunity to put their mark on a new collegiate program."
The Tornado women will compete with five players throughout the fall, with two additional recruits set to arrive in January. BC will be lead by freshman recruit Alisiya Klochkova (Moscow, Russia). Klochkova comes to Brevard with a very impressive junior golf resume. She has competed for the Russian Junior National Team at several events all over the world. She has also attended the prestigious David Ledbetter Golf Academy in Florida.
"We are fortunate to have such an outstanding freshman recruit join our first year program," said Coach Nelson. "I can certainly see the impact of her having received instruction from some of the top swing coaches in the business. Her golf swing is technically very sound."
Klochkova will be joined by incoming sophomore transfer Erika Kellems (Beech Island, S.C.). Kellems attended Aiken Technical College last year in preparation for her transfer to Brevard. This season also marks the beginning of her collegiate career at Brevard College.
Coach Nelson completed his roster with returning juniors Erin Craig (Pisgah Forest, N.C.), Katie Brown (Canover, N.C.) and Jennifer Brown (Canover, N.C.). Craig brings to the program some very valuable experience from her high school years. She played on the boy's team at the prestigious Cambridge School in Florida.
Coach Nelson anticipates both Erin and Alisiya to make up a formable 1-2 punch for the team.
"Both these players should be able to post competitive scores at all our upcoming events. I'm very excited to see how we will do as a team behind their leadership and play," stated Coach Nelson.
Katie and Jennifer will do double duty this fall while balancing their time between golf and softball. Both have played golf in high school and always expressed an interest in our program from the beginning.
"We will have the benefit of both these young women playing for us this fall. I'm delighted Coach Stubbs (Women's Softball) agreed to let them play until our two new recruits arrive in January," Coach Nelson comments. "They are excellent players that should post competitive scores."
The Tornados open up their inaugural season on September 14-15 when BC will compete at the Glenn Cannon Fall Invitational which is co-hosted by Brevard College.
The women's golf team will continue their 2008 fall season at the Tusculum College Fall Classic tournament on September 29-30 in Greeneville, Tenn.
Brevard will then play back-to-back weeks in October, October 13-14 at the Patsy Rendelmen Invitational in Salisbury, N.C. and then the Aramark Collegiate Invitational in Etowah, N.C. on October 20-21.
The spring season will tee-off with the Montreat College Invitational in nearby Hendersonville, N.C. on March 16-17.
On March 30-31, the Tornados will compete at the J. Ralph Hargett Invitational tournament in Charlotte, N.C., which is hosted by Wingate University. The following week the Tornados will travel to Greeneville, Tenn. to participate in the Agnes McAmis Invitational tournament hosted by Tusculum College on April 6-7.
The Tornados will then have a week off before they will travel to nearby Etowah, N.C. to compete in the 2009 South Atlantic Conference Championship Tournament on April 20-21.

I have been around since backtrack 3 and i just got my alfa card a few months ago n i love it. Thing is I am looking for a tutorial on packet injection. I know a few months ago hak5 darren kitchen showed off how to make other people see u or any other picture when a page loads where there is supose to be an image. I thought that was cool. Also I remember him stating that u can kinda force people to see their browser flipped when they visit sites. These are things i would like to learn But i have done WEP cracking tell i was blue in the face. So the console is not a problem for me as i use to run ubuntu servers.
also i have tried to look around the web for "data collection in monitor mode" n have yet to come up with something decent. Again something i was shown around hak5 but was never totally disclosed. ive done packet collections in monitor mode n have yet to come out with the same results on my own network.
any info u could give me would be wonderful. thanks in advance.

Tasty Lo-Cal Chocolate Mousse Recipes and More!
Summer entertaining just got easier, tastier and healthier with these tofu recipes.
-PJ Gach
If you're like me, when you think of tofu, you think of a bland wiggly square that may be good for you, but you're clueless as what to do with it.
I had no idea at all that tofu could be used as a substitute for cream or egss when baking. Since it's lower in fat and other bad things, you can put it in dips, dressings and anything else you're making. Tofu absorbs the other flavors in your dish. It lowers the calories, reduces the fat, but retains the flavor and texture of the original recipe. Plus it's actually good for you!
Here's three recipes that you can use all summer long.
Read Spring Clean Your Kitchen the Easy Way
House Foods' Tofu Caesar Salad Dressing
½ (7 oz) block House Foods Premium Tofu Soft or Organic Tofu Soft, drained
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 clove garlic
½ teaspoon Worcestershire
3 tablespoons Parmesan or Pecorino Romano (finely grated)
1 ½ teaspoons anchovy paste
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¾ teaspoons salt
(Optional: ground black pepper to taste)
Cut tofu in half and place one half in blender. Store remaining half in refrigerator. Place all remaining ingredients in blender or food processer and blend until smooth.
Serve on salad or with finger-food.
Makes approximately 7 oz. of dressing
34 calories/serving, 20 calories from fat (average Caesar dressing is 182 calories/serving!)
A tasty red pepper dip and the chocolate mousse is up next!

iEventPlug Struct Reference
[Event handling]
Event plug interface, also referred as "event source". More...
#include <iutil/event.h>
Public Member Functions
|virtual void
|EnableEvents (unsigned, bool)
|Enable or disable certain event class(es).
|virtual unsigned
|GetPotentiallyConflictingEvents ()=0
|Get the mask of events that can be generated by this source and are generated directly from user actions (e.g.
|virtual unsigned
|QueryEventPriority (unsigned iType)=0
|Query how strong the plug's wish to generate certain class of events is.
Detailed Description
Event plug interface, also referred as "event source".
This interface should be implemented by any plugin that wants to be able to generate events and to put them into system event queue. The plugin registers itself with an event queue as an event source, and gets a pointer to a new iEventOutlet object which manages event the event flow from this particular event source.
Definition at line 396 of file event.h.
Member Function Documentation
|virtual void iEventPlug::EnableEvents
[inline, virtual]
Enable or disable certain event class(es).
This is not a mandatory function; in fact most event plugs may safely ignore it. The mean of this function is purely advisory; for example if both keyup and keydown events are disabled the plug may want to release the keyboard and so on.
|virtual unsigned iEventPlug::GetPotentiallyConflictingEvents
[pure virtual]
Get the mask of events that can be generated by this source and are generated directly from user actions (e.g.
key presses, mouse clicks and so on). This is used to locate potentialy conflicting combinations of event source plugins (for example two event sources may generate a csevKeyDown event each from every key press).
The mask is a combination of CSEVTYPE_XXX values ORed together.
Implemented in csGraphics2DGLCommon.
|virtual unsigned iEventPlug::QueryEventPriority
[pure virtual]
Query how strong the plug's wish to generate certain class of events is.
The plug with the strongest wish wins. The argument is one of CSEVTYPE_XXX values (but never a combination of several OR'ed together).
The typical value is somewhere around 100; the event plugs which are sometimes implemented inside the system drivers (such as for Windows and DJGPP) usually have the priority 100.
Implemented in csGraphics2DGLCommon.
The documentation for this struct was generated from the following file:

Fell in love with Shinobu(2x2 shinobuden).....
Is back and in charge.
nope ! but if they're real, than yup!
豆 贝 尔 维 贼 德
I fell in love with tsukiyomi ikuto(通清診 幾都)from shugo chara
He represents all the things that I like
Well I think that anime guys are better than real life ones because they really can't do any harm
Infatuation/having a crush and falling in love have a very thin line between them-- so don't get messed up. How would you know if it's the real thing? It's the lurv thing if:
1. You don't get jealous so easily- that's because you trust that person.
2. You know that person has flaws but you still like him/her.
3. You become a better being because you're inspired to be one.
4. You can imagine yourself and that person growing old together. (Seriously.)
5. You become unselfish because you're starting to think not only for yourself but for the two of you and for others as well.
These are just my point of views. I guess falling in love with an anime character is very difficult... Because if you did fall, you can't tell that anime character what you feel. Yeah, you can talk to him/her while watching his/her show or looking at his/her images, but can the character hear you? That character can't answer you either... Which is a sad part. So I think it's better to stick on a real guy/girl than on a surreal one. Too late? You'll get better in time. Trust me.
Hey, it's OK to have a crush on an anime character. I have tons of 'em.
I think that its not fair to fall inlove with an anime character. Obviously it wouldnt work out and i feel like that is just a lot of needless heart break. But to each his/her own everyone needs that experience.
well to say the truth i think it's just sorta normal to kinda like or "love" a anime character(or manga).... I've watched alot of anime and read alot of manga and i have had like 10-100 crushes.... it's just normal if reality starts to stink real bad.. but you cant turn someone down that's real for a anime character thats not normal at all.... But that doesnt mean it's bad to have a crush on a anime character.. Sometimes they are just to cute or they have to personality that you like alot in a gal or guy. That's my opion
When the end comes and the truth be told....... I'M better than you!! lol =^.^=
Well if i end up with a crush on an anime character its kinda cause they remind me in ways of a real person i might like.....But i do agree that is abnormal...
1st when i was 5 i fall in love wif sailor moon the mask guy.... i bought the whole set of comics...
2nd in love wif hiei at pri school.... bought the anime CDs.. n comics...
3rd now.... in love wif! GAARA! bought comics..... plushy.... key chains..... pillow....cards..... n many items....
BUT i still hv a boyfriend... funny huh...
nope i did not
LOVE YHUU HOE ! ❤ nae was here^^ 7/4/12
i think it's fine to fall in love with an anime character.
i thought i was the only one who liked an anime guy but i guess not
hmmmm i think you should add me :)
I think its ok to have a crush/be attracted to an anime character. There's nothing really wrong with it, in my opinion, unless you start to mix reality with anime, then you got yourself in quite the pickle. But even so, the "liking of an animated person" whether your insane or not is called Toonophilia, which makes me feel uncomfortable cuz I feel like I have issues or something.
I mean, I have many anime crushes ^^ but I know theyre not real and never will be (even though it breaks my heart at the thought xD) My friends think its strange to go gaga when I see a cute anime boy. They say stuff like "how can you like stuff that's not real" >>
Ehhhh....at least people on teh interwebz understand meeh XD
I'm not online.....you must be dislexic............and colorblind
it's ok...
I have a
on all
the cute
anime character
I laid my eyes on........
but then...
I wouldn't
replace humans
with anime characters........
I'm sad to say goodbye to august! Goodbye to holidays!!!
I'm so glad to see that I'm not the only person to have a crush on a character...
I currently have a crush on:
Uchiha Itachi
Kuran Kaname
I don't think it's weird; they just seem to have characteristics that I love :)
Hello to all my Crunchyroll buddies!!!
It's pretty much normal. I mean, you'll have a high chance of finding perfect guys in anime than in real life.
and I too, have fallen for guys like these. truth is, I don't have a human crush yet. I've only felt it with anime characters.

Dispelling Breastfeeding Myths
I could fill a book with all the misinformation I have heard or received over the years. I have been told that sun bathing spoils breast milk, some women only produce water rather than milk, you cannot take any antibiotics with breastfeeding, and breastfeeding while pregnant is dangerous. All of these things are clearly very silly myths. What's really scary is that all but one of these came from healthcare professionals.
What are some unfortunate breast feeding myths that you have heard?

Ack! All but one came from a healthcare professional? So sad!
Let's see... what other breastfeeding myths have I heard? How about stop breastfeeding after a year. I think that's one I hear often, and I breastfed all my children past 2 years (except one, who weaned on her own after a year, but that was due to me giving into "Grandparent pressure" and giving her a bottle when she turned 1 year old). Never made that mistake again!
28th May 2012 10:33 PM #3
Urgh! Breastfeeding myths drive me crazy! I have recently heard from a healthcare professional that 'there is no benefit in breastfeeding a child beyond 1 year' - well, this certainly is not what the research shows!
So many friends of mine stopped breastfeeding very early because doctors told them they may not have enough milk, rather than helping them to get the feeding established. Urgh!!!


text: So I've just gotten back into the habit of blogging when someone sent me a link from another Patheos blog on the evangelical Christian channel. I was sort of in shock and awe at the post. I seriously bellowed in laughter at reading the headline and then began to actually read the argument he made for [Read More…]

I've learned that using the deep copy in inheritance fixes the problem when you're inheriting a child object when later modifying a child's property, you're changing the parent's property as well because it points to the same object.
I read this awesome book but I'm very confused about what this code means:
function deepCopy(p, c) {
//Couldn't you just put c = { } instead?
var c = c || { };
for(var i in p) {
//What's the meaning of using the constructor property to check the object?
if(typeof p[x].constructor ==== 'object') {
//What's the meaning of the ternary operator having the { } object?
c[x] = (p[x] === Array) ? [] : { };
//I don't get what's the meaning of invoking deepCopy().
deepCopy(p[x], c[x])
else {
c[x] = p[x];
return c;
Sorry if I confuse anyone in my code comments. It would be appreciated if anyone can just walk me through the use of the meaning of the code inside the for-in loop.
var parent = {
numbers: [1, 2, 3],
letters: ['a', 'b', 'c'],
obj: {
prop: 1
bool: true
//I thought you're required to use two arguments in the deepCopy method.
var mydeep = deepCopy(parent);
This type of code looks advance and very hard to analyze.Is this code important to learn?
Thanks in advance
No you couldn't, for that would end up clobbering the second parameter, which in nested copies is the object that you are copying to.
The meaning is to check if p[x] is something that has a deeper structure that needs to be copied
It sets up the c[x] object that will be used to store the content of the next deeper level of content.
The purpose of it is to go down another level and copy what's in there.
The arguments of a function don't need to be provided. When they're not, the function just ends up with an undefined variable in its place instead.
It can be useful to learn more about what is occurring and why, if only so that you can have some idea of what's possible.
Thanks for your answers much appreciated
//What's the meaning of the ternary operator having the { } object?c[x] = (p[x] === Array) ? [] : { };
One quick question regarding the array literal in the ternary operator, does it creates a new array?
I've been learing about javascript for about a year it's just this type of coding is way out of my league.
Perhaps an expanded view of that code will help to aid in some understanding.
if (p[x] === Array) {
c[x] = [];
} else {
c[x] = { };
So what that is doing is to set up an appropriate container (array or object) to contain what will be copied in to it.
Yes it does.
Is this info about the ternary operator of any help then?
I understand how the ternary operator works. I was just a bit confused regarding [] literal whether it was creating a new array or modifying it within the child object. I understand this part now.
That's good to know.
Values such as strings or numbers or booleans, those can be copied straight across without any trouble.The only two situations where a deeper copy is needed is in regards to nested information, such as arrays or objects. That's why that's being done.

Washington Post again labeled progressive groups with political foes' term
Research ››› ››› KEVIN NIX
The Washington Post reporter covering campaign finance issues has repeatedly used the term "shadow Democratic party" in reference to progressive political groups that are devoted to voter mobilization and to running advertisements criticizing President George W. Bush; most recently, on May 11, Post staff writer Thomas B. Edsall wrote that the groups are "known" by that label, without noting that the term is used primarily by opponents of these groups to describe what the opponents allege is the groups' illegal coordination with the Democratic Party or Senator John Kerry's presidential campaign.
As the Los Angeles Times reported on April 20, these progressive groups "have raised the ire of the Republican National Committee, which filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) last month that alleged they were a 'shadow Democratic party' illegally raising money to help Sen. John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee."
In a May 11 article, Edsall twice used the word "shadow," first in quotation marks without attribution and second without quotation marks at all:
Strategists in the network of independent political organizations known as the 'shadow Democratic Party' are shifting money and resources from television advertising to voter mobilization programs. ... The two most prominent groups in the shadow party are the Media Fund and ACT [Americans Coming Together]. [italics added]
In at least five other recent articles -- April 1, 2004; March 5, 2004; January 31, 2004; January 16, 2004; and December 14, 2003 -- Edsall used the label "shadow Democratic Party" with and without quotation marks at different times or "shadow" Democratic Party, also with and without quotation marks -- again, without indicating that the term is used by these groups' critics, who have petitioned the FEC to restrict their activities.
In addition to some Republicans, nonpartisan election reformers also use or reference the term "shadow" in criticizing the political activities of "527's" (named for the Internal Revenue Code section governing them). A January 2004 complaint filed with the FEC by Democracy 21, The Center for Responsive Politics, and Campaign Legal Center cited a December 14, 2003, article by Edsall titled "Democratic 'Shadow' Groups Face Scrutiny." The term also appears in other materials put out by these groups; for example, Democracy 21 president Fred Wertheimer, in a 2002 "Note to the Media," cited an Edsall article in using the word "shadow" to describe 527 groups: "New 'shadow committees' tied to the Democratic senatorial and congressional campaign committees and designed to evade the new law banning soft money are being formed today, according to an article in today's [November 5, 2002] Washington Post."
In addition to the Los Angeles Times, other media outlets have made it clear that "shadow Democratic party" is a label used primarily by opponents of these progressive 527s. As recently as May 14, The New York Times -- reporting that the FEC has decided to postpone a ruling on whether to restrict the activities of 527s -- wrote, "Critics called them ["Democratic groups like ACT and the Media Fund"] a "shadow" political party." (On the same day, the Times ran an editorial blasting the FEC for its decision and describing the groups with such terms as "shadow" and "puppet Democratic operations," but the editorial, in contrast to a purportedly objective news story, makes clear its opposition to these groups' activities.)
On May 6, Cox News Service reported, "The Republican Party and the president's campaign accuse them of being a 'shadow' Democratic Party. Republicans have charged the groups with conspiring to violate the federal ban on unlimited donations, dubbed 'soft money,' by accepting big dollar donations." USA Today reporters Andrea Stone and Jim Drinkard wrote on April 1: "Republicans have tried for months to curtail the groups' efforts or, at a minimum, create enough doubt to hobble their fundraising. So far, they have been unsuccessful. With seven months until the election, Bush campaign lawyer Ben Ginsberg said the party is seeking 'extraordinary relief' to combat what he called a 'shadow Democratic Party.'"
Another Washington Post reporter indicated that the term "shadow" was one employed by Republicans seeking to restrict the activities of progressive 527s: In a March 24, 2004, article, Post staff writer Paul Farhi wrote, "Scott Stanzel, a spokesman for Bush's reelection effort, said Democrats have created a 'shadow' party of organizations to skirt the spirit of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. Their ads, he said, 'are more bitter attacks from angry partisans.'"
Media Matters for America found the use of the word "shadow" by two progressive publications in the context of 527 groups; but in both cases, the term is used to indicate separation, not coordination. David Corn, Washington editor of The Nation and author of The Lies of George W. Bush: Mastering the Politics of Deception, wrote on April 13, "Since under the law [527s] are not permitted to coordinate their efforts with the party or the Kerry campaign, they have been dubbed the "Democratic shadow party." A March 11 "Daily Mojo" item on MotherJones.com reported that such groups are "mounting a kind of 'shadow campaign' to take down George W. Bush," noting that the groups are legally prohibited from coordinating with the Democratic Party.
