I see that the pelicans

Audio::MPD gives a clear object-oriented interface for talking to and
controlling MPD (Music Player Daemon) servers. A connection to the MPD
server is established as soon as a new Audio::MPD object is created.
Note that the module will by default connect to mpd before sending any
command, and will disconnect after the command has been issued. This scheme
is far from optimal, but allows us not to care about timeout disconnections.
/!\ Note that Audio::MPD is using high-level, blocking sockets. This means
that if the mpd server is slow, or hangs for whatever reason, or even
crash abruptly, the program will be hung forever in this sub. The
POE::Component::Client::MPD module is way safer - you're advised to use it
instead of Audio::MPD. Or you can try to set conntype to $REUSE (see
Audio::MPD constructor for more details), but you would be then on your
own to deal with disconnections.

VIDEO: Wright-Phillips scores overhead goal against Toronto
Bradley Wright-Phillips has scored in many different ways for the New York Red Bulls over the years, and the striker added a spectacular overhead goal to his growing list of tallies for the MLS club.
Playing against league-leading Toronto FC at Red Bull Arena on Friday, Wright-Phillips opened the scoring in the 38th minute after teammate Sacha Kljestan floated a free kick into the TFC penalty area. Fredrik Gulbrandsen nodded the floated ball back across the face of goal and Wright-Phillips did the rest, meeting it near the back post and hitting a right-footed volley over his own head past Toronto goalkeeper Alex Bono.

The Red Bulls were on a three-game losing streak heading into Friday's match, with TFC flying high off the back of six straight victories. After Benoit Cheyrou's second-half equalizer for Toronto, the match ended 1-1.

ACTIVIST, ANIMAL ACTIVISM, ANIMAL FRIENDLY, cruelty free, Entrepreneur, ETHICAL, fashion, Leanne Mai-Ly Hilgart, sustainable, VAUTE COUTURE
By Eva Bloomfield, Vegan Editor
Vaute Couture is a tour de force of a fashion line, striking a meticulous balance between a playful aesthetic, methodical design and a throughline of compassion. The creator of the vegan label, Leanne Mai-Ly Hilgart, is every bit as daring and delightful as the couture. This business-savvy activist has given the world a brand that is at once design-centric, style-forward and thoroughly ethical.
A model-turned-business owner, Leanne tops the girl-crush charts. But, looking back, she thinks of herself as having been the odd man out. With a mother from Taipei and a father who grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, Leanne was no stranger to the meat-heavy meal. But her penchant for animal-activism was quickly ignited at the early age of six, when she noticed a girl in her suburban Chicago neighborhood sporting a jacket made of rabbit fur. Something clicked, and there was no looking back. She spent the remainder of grade school mobilizing her friends to raise money for the local animal shelter and toting around a trapper keeper plastered in photos of rescued animals. She also caught the marketing bug, selling the slogan "Being cruel isn't cool" to a t-shirt company. The animal-activist-entrepreneur seed had been planted.
Leanne was in her final quarter of college, earning a degree to work as a school principal, when lightening struck. Education, she realized, wasn't her path. Following rules was never her thing–and certainly not when dress codes were involved. She boldly made the decision to quit and, after spending a few years modeling, traveling and working in marketing for a babysitter sourcing site, she found her calling in Vaute.
Vaute is the incarnation of purpose meets practicality, all while being hopelessly fetching. By way of extensive research and cunning design, the line's innovative high-tech textiles and sustainable materials are all 100% animal-free, then cut and sewn with fair labor. In its aesthetic, it's all about flattering meets functionality. Between dresses with feminine hourglass silhouettes, outerwear that is fantastically warm and brazenly chic, and structured men's button-downs (they also suit women–females, take note), the collection is whimsical, coquettish and deliciously comfortable.
Beyond the drapey fabrics and delightful patterns, Vaute exists to embolden. It extends the message that what we wear is our choice and that choice has an undeniable impact on the world. The clothing we choose is a reflection of our personalities, our vitality and the change we want to see. By investing in pieces that are cruelty-free, sustainable and every bit as desirable as anything else on the market, consumers own their role as ambassadors of change. Vaute attests that kind isn't a compromise. It's an empowering choice.

I love the denizens of Port Charles – but this was a rough week.
While I think the writing for 'General Hospital' has gotten markedly better – there are still a few stories dragging the show down.
The biggest is the multiple personality storyline with Kate. There is nothing new and fresh about DID. Connie isn't entertaining – she's annoying. That being said, if Sonny ends up embarrassed on his wedding day I will enjoy that aspect of the story.
The next story that causes me to fast-forward through the show is Olivia and her LSD infused hallucinations. I can't find one redeeming thing about that storyline.
Finally, the two new battling doctors at GH – Britt and Sabrina respectively – are not only yawn-worthy but cringe-inducing. Neither actress can actually act – and the writing for both is abysmal.
Instead of focusing on one thing to complain about this week – I decided to give a quick shout out to what is working for me (and more importantly, what isn't).
So, here we go:
HIT: Anna's interrogation of Todd – complete with another listening session of his "crazy calling" ringtone -- highlighted two of the best actors on the show.
MISS: Heather's constant talking to baby Victor/Danny is grating. It's a common soap plot – but it's still ridiculous and annoying. The last three months of poor Brody's tenure on 'One Life to Live' were spent talking to a baby. Look how well that turned out for him.
HIT: Lulu and Maxie's reconnection at the bachelorette party was both entertaining – and needed. I have nothing against Jen Lilley – but her Maxie had no chemistry with Lulu. Kirsten Storms' Maxie has a realistic – and much needed – female friendship with Julie Berman's Lulu.
MISS: More contrived drama to fuel the Sam and Liz war. This time Liz – who has had her kids die and get kidnapped – lies about a paternity test to hold on to a man. It's a desperate attempt to make Sam look like a victim – which just makes me dislike Sam. Do we really have to watch these women war over a monotone moper?
HIT: Carly and Shawn reconnect. Sure, their romance never got off the ground. Still, they had a solid friendship that has been completely ignored since Carly and Johnny's "relationship" started getting shoved down our throats.
MISS: Speaking of Carly and Johnny, since when does the uber-suspicious Carly believe a bad liar like Johnny? It's actually detrimental to the Carly character. Loyalty is one thing. Stupidity is another.
HIT: Magic Milo spices up Connie's bachelorette party.
MISS: Michael starts talking marriage – even though he's been dating Starr for five minutes and her boyfriend and daughter have been dead for less than a year.
HIT: Sonny worries about Spinelli counting cards.
MISS: Anything having to do with Trey and Kristina.
HIT: Little Emma – who is still dealing with her mother's death – pitches a fit about being left with a babysitter. The scenes run true to life, as Emma shows she's desperately trying to hold on to some sort of normalcy.
MISS: Patrick starts dating. Not only is Britt vapid, territorial and manipulative – but she's overt about it. Patrick has a small child and was stalked by Lisa Niles – why would he open Emma up to that at this point? And Sabrina? She's worse than Britt. Now Patrick has two stalkers. I don't care if the rumors are true and Sabrina is tied to Duke – she's still annoying.
HIT: Carly has an adult conversation with Liz.
Jax leaves town. He doesn't have to be paired with Carly. Why not try him with Liz? That would make Carly's head implode and that's always entertaining.
What do you think? What were GH's top moments this week? What were the worst moments?

iSHi – Push It (Official Video) ft. Pusha T
Swedish producer Ishi has been pretty busy in the last few years, making his way into the music business by working with artists such as Lupe Fiasco, Tinie Tempah or Emelie Sande. Making track, finding a way through products and music Ishi has been lately working with with rap artist Pusha-T, (who's album My name is My name has been one of the hottest of the rap industry since 3 years along with Yeezus) on a new track "Push it". If Ishi has been able to exist in under the creative frame of Pusha-T line, the influence of Kanye West "I am a God " where rap finds itself a new frame through euro trans keys and abstract universe is hard not to see. What's your feeling ?

Golfing in Guam
Guam, a golfer's paradise, is renowned for its world class golf courses. This tiny Pacific island offers 10 professional courses with a total of 189 holes and another 27 hole course under construction. Two of these courses are military and one a short nine hole par 3 conveniently located beside the Tumon tourist district. The remaining seven are numbered among some of the best courses in the world. All of them are visually spectacular and professionally challenging. Designers of these courses include such golfing greats as Palmer and Nicklaus, Norman and Marsh, Snead and Littler and Japan's Tunehira and Ayako.
Each designer has masterfully combined the beauty of Guam's rugged landscape and coastline with innovative course design to create stunning vistas of immaculately manicured greens and fairways that wind their way through lush tropical jungle and, in the majority, provide sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and Guam's fringing reefs.
It is hard to say which is Guam's "best" course. They all provide their own unique challenges and no player of whatever level of skill would ever call them easy. A combination of gusting sea breezes, deceptive terrain and well placed hazards would test the skills of any of golf's great champions and regularly does.
No golf course on Guam is more than 20 minutes from any one of Guam's hotels but many courses may be fully booked on any one day so book early to avoid disappointment!

The front nine has wider fairways lined by tropical trees, flowers and water hazards. Hole number 6 is designed as a replica of Talofofo Falls and is course's scenic "photo op" hole. On the other hand, the back nine, which overlooks Guam's tropical jungle and mountains, challenges each player's skill and course management techniques. The fairway of Hole 11 runs through a sloping jungle area to the green, while Holes 15 and 17 present dynamic shots through coconut tree groves and Hole 18 a long drive uphill.

Paws & Remember Franchise Opportunities
In times of need, Paws & Remember is there...
Since 1997, our founder has been providing full service memorialization for pets of every description. Our high-quality cremation, personalized urns, and wide variety of memorial products help pet owners and their families express their feelings, pay tribute, reflect, and celebrate their pets lives. They also help service providers, such as veterinary clinics, funeral homes and other pet service businesses, aid their customers during difficult times.
The Paws & Remember concept began as the result of a simple request from a friend that helped identify a market need. After years of work in the funeral services industry, it was clear to the founding members that no one was offering a dignified manner of providing death care and memorialization services for pets. Pet owners were seeking options in their times of grief, but didn't always know where to turn or what was available. And, veterinarians and other providers needed a simplified way to provide their customers with appropriate solutions.
Enter: You ...
By joining Paws & Remember through our franchise program, you can provide just what the marketplace needs. You can leverage our proven concept and expertise to add a new, timely, and extremely effective extension to your current business model.
There are many benefits of joining Paws & Remember, including:
- A growing number of passionate pet owners who are spending more money on their pets and demanding more specialized pet services.
- A franchise program based on a unique concept with an experienced support team.
- The opportunity to leverage your current business base and assets, while taking advantage of an opportunity in a segment of the market in great need of consistent, quality products and services.
For more information on how you can become a franchise owner with Paws & Remember, contact us. We will start the discussion on taking the next steps toward your future in offering valuable products and services in a highly underserved market niche. You – as well as pet owners and pet care specialists in your area – will be glad you did.

what links one get over twitter is just marvelous…
(and I know why my score is so low, at least partly because I use windows…)
and be careful not to order anything, just the quiz is free
just for the record, I removed all generated twitter posts. Due to messing up the tagcloud (they were not tagged and effectively "uncategorized" simply was too big). Also there was the doubling of posts on twitter AND this blog's feeds (sorry Paul and thanks for the hint).
All original posts are available on twitter of course so nothings really lost. Comments given for any posts on this blog are removed too though. They were just a couple and please don't be annoyed if I removed your comment…
There is quite an easy way to bring almost any Windows down (I somehow remember also Ubuntu had this problem). Just insert a CD or DVD in the drive and somehow try to mess with the automatic things that now try to figure out what to do. I burned a backup DVD today (BTW with the very good – but very slow too – and free CDBurnerXP) and when done I wanted to look at the contents to check it. CDBurnerXP (like Nero etc) ejects a DVD when finished and I just put it in again and started the Windows Explorer. This messed up Vista so much that both CDBurnerXP and the WE both crushed down and also the complete OS went downhill. Vista seemed to work and I could open the task manager and try to kill both processes but that did not do what it should. Also logging off did not help. It took about 10 minutes to get to the Vista welcome screen with the message "logging off" but during that it just hang and I had no further patience (after about 30 minutes all in all during which I did something completely different in my room of course) and just pressed the power button. Not very nice but I guess no normal user would even wait this long neither longer and I doubt Vista would have gotten out of it then…
Is it so difficult to write a CD/DVD driver that it does not bring a complete OS down to its knees??
BTW, other than that I am quite pleased with Vista which I installed during the weekend (after upgrading my CPU as well ). Installation of Vista itself took about 1 hour after which I installed all needed drivers which took another few hours but I had no real problems during this. I recall installing XP some years ago (yes, only 1 install in about 4 years, so I guess XP is quite stable although I tried out lots of tools and other software) was a major hassle as some drivers (mainboard or graphics or IDE? I do not really remember) had to be installed in a specific order. If not the whole install was messed up so I had had to start all over again. Vista did not break down at all although this was my first install and it does seem to have spread some tools all over the place (at least not where they are in earlier versions of Windows) so it took me longer to get aquainted than expected. Differences from 95 to 98 to NT to 2k to XP were not half as high as between XP and Vista…
So OS and Hardware did install quite well and also most software does work as expected. I noticed that I hardly use any buyware anymore although I have bought quite a few licenses in the last years. Things like ACDsee which I used in version 3 for years now (old but fast) is not really needed anymore as the explorer does all the things I want anyhow. I now use CDBurnerXP although I have Nero which came with my DVD-Burner.
I was almost surprised that Photoshop 6 works (which BTW I got with my digital camera about 6 years ago. I know, the camera (which was expensive at its time) sucks today, but I still like Photoshop, even this old version. And today I guess there is no room for an expensive software bundle with cheap cameras). But I also installed Paint.NET which is quite nice.
Another thing that is more convenient these days is that quite a lot of software does not need to be installed at all anymore. I use Scite (a simple exe), Eclipse (I think there is not even an installer), but also stuff like Thunderbird comes as a standalone exe now. Normally made for USB-sticks but they are very convenient on a normal HDD too.
oh my, this server is really slow
I installed wp-cache yesterday so reading should actually be better (not many visitors come around so probably overkill) but writing is really a pain…
Just added recaptcha which is simply available as a WordPress plugin. Guess I should add it to my normal site's comment form as well (from which I normally spam only though).
I guess I should not even post my score but on the other hand why not?
(via Grig Gheorghiu, and I guess I do about any survey that is available…)
Sometimes I do surveys (just for fun, most questions are quite dumb anyway). Anyway, this is my Blogger Code 2.0:
I just noticed I use ellipses and quite a lot in my posts. (And I do like notes in parenthesis too I guess )…
I moved this blog to its own domain as the traffic has gone up a bit too much and it's getting near the limit of my old site…
Moving has not been difficult. First I tried a manual transfer of posts, categories, comments etc as I failed to find the "export" function in WordPress – kind of embarrassing… It did work though but I though to be sure and not miss any hidden deeper problems I reset the DB and made an export from the old domain and imported the data here. So I guess it does work now as before.
Still have to redirect the old blog to this one, should be easy though.
BTW, I guess there won't be a more frequent update to this blog in spite of its own domain. I just thought about moving anyway, so after some months thinking I finally just did it.
I get about 200+ spam emails a day for some days now. There seems no possibility for Thunderbird to recognize these and 200 or more compared to about 2-10 wanted emails a day is simply too much. The only solution seems a whitelist which I effectively started today. I guess there will be mails being lost to me but it is way too much hassle going through 200 mails every day (not even counting the ones being reported as spam by my mail program). I am afraid if I cannot check my mails for a day or two as then the stack piles to nearly a 1000 emails which simple takes too much time to look through.
So if you really need to contact me and you are not someone I expect a mail from I don't know what a reliable way there is anymore… for the people who have my phone number that's ok, for others you may want to use the comments on this blog which of course are filtered too and I take the time to look through only about once a month as the ratio of spam to wanted comments is even worse of about 100:1 not counting recognized spam of course.
So this post is filed under death, and I guess emails is like that now, nearly unusable as I guess I even have not one the highest email/spam traffic of even the limited amount of people I know. Sad.

Even the most experienced of aquarists are not immune to the difficulty of establishing a balance within a saltwater reef tank in a manner in which all tank members are able to absolutely thrive while nuisance algae is simultaneously kept at bay. Though it seems to be a vexing and complicated issue, the fact of the matter is that it is easily addressed with relatively minimal effort. Dr. Sid Solomon has compared this issue to one he experiences often in dentistry when patients have gaps in the dental care they receive that ultimately lead to more problematic issues developing in the future.
In fact, all that is necessary is to use a fairly standard ratio based on the number of gallons within the tank to determine the appropriate balance of tank inhabitants while ensuring diversity in terms of the size and activity levels of the inhabitants. Doing this makes it possible for the enclosed ecosystem within the tank to function in an optimal fashion since each inhabitant has its role to play and prevents waste from lingering in the tank and contributing to difficult and frustrating issues like widespread algae growth.
For saltwater tank enthusiasts, this means that there must be a focus on developing a food chain from top to bottom. It also means that aquarists have to adopt a broader focus when selecting new additions to their tank by considering how any addition will affect the current composition of the existing food chain.

Filed by James MacArthur
Sometimes in Baltimore it's really hard to keep up with all the shenanigans involving Baltimore police.
WJZ reports the video is the latest in a string of caught-on-camera incidents that have called into question officers' behavior, including an incident where a cop was caught on camera punching a man near a bus stop.
In fact, a Baltimore Sun investigation recently detailed dozens of cases where the city paid out more than $11 million to settle allegations of police brutality—part of why Police Commissioner Anthony Batts and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake now actively support the introduction of body cameras on all officers so they have more evidence of when police force is justified or crosses the line.
"What, you got probable cause?" the man asked.
"I'm going to ask you to get out of my face," the officer replied.
"Don't touch me!" the man replied.In this video, you see a confrontation between a young man and an officer. Although the young man acted in a manner in which we wouldn't suggest, the officer seems to use way more force than is necessary. By punching the man in the face, the officer escalated the situation to a place it didn't need to go.

Minutes of 7/17: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sml/2008Jul/att-0042/20080717-sml-minutes.html
RESOLUTION: Minutes approved without objection
Pratul: Henry has submitted
comments, MSM essentially agreed.
... point 1 was dropped from John's proposal.
MSM: Curious as why point 1 of John's proposal was dropped. Why is it dropped from document level?
Kumar: based on point 3, since it optional
Ginny: based on what implementations are doing.
MSM: Point 1 helps support the
eventual dropping of smlif:baseURI together.
... Would prefer not to protect more of existing code than needs to be protected.
Ginny: Agrees.
Kumar: MS will continue to support smlif:baseURI. These should not be part of interop cases.
Ginny: Henry wants a stronger statement of deprecation than the proposal makes.
Kumar: If allow only on model, scenarios for which we introduced smlif:baseURI will not work.
MSM: Two reasons: (1) the
situation SG described seems less important to me than the
principle of encouraging people to move to xml:base, (2) If I
want to guarantee interoperability if both are optional, then I
would absolutize URIs.
... No positions have changed; I have asked for an explanation, and have now gotten it, for which I thank the WG. If no minds have been changed, we should leave the proposal as is.
Pratul: Does anyone want this to be reopened?
Pratul: Let's look at Henry's comment.
Sandy: Questions whether a consumer can support neither form of baseURIs
Ginny: Expressed objection last week.
Pratul: Whole issue should be considered?
Ginny: Would like to discuss point 5.
<pratul> Sandy and Ginny requested that we reopen the discussion on 5542
MSM: Sandy and Ginny are suggesting a point 6: Consumers must support one or the other
<MSM> [If I'm understanding this correctly, the consequence would be that if I produce an IF package with *both* smlif:baseURI and xml:base, then all consumers will be guaranteed to understand the package correctly.]
<MSM> [That would have the consequence that to get universal guarantees of readability I don't have to absolutize all URIs.]
<MSM> [This helps IF packages avoid being verbose and illegible.]
<MSM> [Is that about right?]
Kumar: MS has no intention to remove smlif:baseURI. Probably same for COSMOS.
Ginny: It is harder for the
producer to know if the model is interoperable.
... Thus both become useless for "pure" interoperability (i.e., producer doesn't know who the consumer is). Neither of these are useful.
<MSM> +1 to Ginny's argument, as I understand it, that this is one barrier to interoperability that we do not have to impose. I think the versions of external specs are a special case; this one is just internal to our spec.
Kumar: This is not a special with regard this feature; it pertains to all optional features.
Sandy: Agrees that every optional features has this problem, which is why we try to limit optional features.
<MSM> I suppose there are two ways to apply the floor/ceiling analysis: require xml:base for consumers, or require one-or-the-other.
Pratul: Have a statement that at
least one of the other must be supported?
... Sandy agrees.
<MSM> PD proposal (as MSM heard it): add point 6: Consumers are required to support at least one of xml:base and smlif:baseURI
Pratul:Point 6 and deprecating smlif:baseURI appear to be incompatible.
MSM: Doesn't see
... Weird but not a logical contradiction. Gives direction for those using smlif:baseURI.
Pratul: Consumer must support at least one of smlif:baseURI or xml:base. Then say that smlif:baseuURI is deprecated.
Kumar: Clarifies the meaning of "deprecation": smlif:baseURI is continued to be supported in SML 1.1, in future version support MAY be dropped.
MSM: What this means in practice,
people who want to preserve feature CANNOT claim that it will
break current implementation.
... Clarifies that the current proposal (specify deprecation today), implies that the feature might be removed in NEXT version. If statement occurs in next version, then it is still supported in THAT version, and will not go away in a subsequent version after that.
... The first meaning is what Henry is interested is trying to get at.
Kumar: Word "deprecated" causes confusion. Just say explicitly what it means.
Ginny: The statement would not be as strong as "deprecated".
MSM: Agree with Ginny.
... We should define "deprecated" but use the word.
... The word "Deprecated" carries the connotation: It is advisable not to use it.
<MSM> What I believe HT is suggesting (and what I would support) is addition of a sentence saying something like:
<pratul> One interesting definition of deprecate - Archaic. to pray for deliverance from.
<MSM> The smlif:baseURI feature is supported in this version of this specification for compatibility reasons. It is, however, deprecated and may be removed in a future version of this specification.
<MSM> or possibly: it is, however, deprecated: it may be removed in a future version of this specificaiton, and users of this specification are advised to avoid using it if possible.
<MSM> -- end of proposal --
Pratul: First proposal is
... Is everyone happy with this proposal?
No objection.
Pratul: Are we happy with saying consumers must support either smlif:baseURI / xml:base.
No objection
<pratul> Consumer must support at least one smlif:baseURI and xml:base.
<pratul> The smlif:baseURI feature is supported in this version of this specification for compatibility reasons. It is, however, deprecated and may be removed in a future version of this specification
Pratul: Any objection?
No objection.
Ginny: There is still comment 7b:
Pratul: 7b applies to situation in which consumers supports both.
Sandy: Compute from xml:base, if that fails, use smlif:baseURI
RESOLUTION: Fix 7b per Sandy's comment above, mark 5542 as Editorial, needsReview.
Pratul will send email to Henry to get his approval on our approach to comments 7a and 7b.
Review of comment #7.
MSM: Assume same thing to be true of DTD-validation.
Pratul: This sounds reasonable.
Kumar: Proposal is not to do DTD validation.
<Kumar> Model validators MUST support schema-determined IDs for barename processing, any additional behavior is implementation defined.
MSM: No.
... Barenames for things identified as ID. Things are identified as ID by either Schema-validiation or DTD-validation. It is implementation defined whether you use Schema or DTD-validation?
... Or does it mean something else?
<MSM> i.e. Is this a correct understanding of the convergence identified in comment #7? (1) Barenames must be supported for attributes recognized as IDs. (2) Attributes can be recognized as IDs either by means of DTD or by means of schema-validity assessment. (3) Except as otherwise specified in this spec, the circumstances under which DTD-validation and schema-validity assessment are performed (and thus: the circs under which bare names are supported in practice).
MSM: This does not exclude elements.
<MSM> One difference at issue is: is it / should it be implementation-defined whether a processor which does perform DTD-based validation supports barename references using IDs declared in the DTD? I take Sandy's propposal to lean toward saying no, in that case you really are expected to support them.
MSM: Should proposal state about what a DTD processor should do? Is it implementation-defined what to do here; or is the recognition implementation-defined.
Sandy: Implementation-defined whether to expose the DTD information.
MSM: Complexity of explaining
this is getting too high; therefore preferring Kumar's
explanation. Would prefer more interoperability, but this is
too complex.
... All aspects of DTD validation is implementation-defined. Let's not worry about what happens if a DTD process does not--all processors tend to do this.
Pratul: Use the wording suggested by Kumar above for resolution of this issue.
<pratul> Model validators MUST support schema-determined IDs for barename processing, any additional behavior is implementation defined
No objections
<MSM> [I would be glad if the minutes could show that my first preference would be for a simpler and more general statement that barenames must be supported. I don't think XML processors that don't expose attribute types are worth supporting as components of an SML system. But I can live with this resolution in the interests of compromise and moving forward, and I rather hope that Henry will be able to live with it too, though I do not speak for him.]
RESOLUTION: Add the preceding text entered by Pratul to the bug. Mark as Editorial, needsReview.
Pratul will close the loop with Henry.
Ginny: Example seems OK to use deref(). But in subsequent context, it is not.
Pratul: Let's skip this issue.
Ginny: Agrees.
Kumar: It seems that it is OK to make strict-wildcard the default.
MSM: In practice, all processors support this mode of invocation. But schema spec does not constrain the invocation model.
No one has reason to disbelieve that these are supported in the stack.
Pratul: Thus there is no dependence on Schema 1.1
MSM: Suspected that we would
allow unknown validity only when we fall back to
... We need to rules for when we except an applicable schema there is one or none.
... easiest why to describe these rules with with strict-/lax-wildcard processing.
Kumar: We only say that the root element must not be invalid.
MSM: This is lax-wildcard
... What do what do we want behavior of SML validator to be?
Discussion of these issue with MSM and Kumar.
<MSM> Note: ... In typical cases strict wildcard validation will be performed when the invoking process expects the ·validation root· to be declared and valid and will otherwise report an error to its environment. If the absence of a declaration for the ·validation root· counts as a successful outcome of validation, then it is preferable to use lax wildcard validation instead.
<MSM> Note: From the point of view of schema-validity assessment and the resulting ·post-schema-validation infoset·, lax and strict wildcard validation produce the same result. The distinction is provided in order to provide two different terms to express the different expectations of the invoking process.
<MSM> In typical cases strict wildcard validation will be performed when the invoking process expects the ·validation root· to be declared and valid and will otherwise report an error to its environment. If the absence of a declaration for the ·validation root· counts as a successful outcome of validation, then it is preferable to use lax wildcard validation instead.
<MSM> The name for this method of invocation reflects the fact that it is analogous to the validation of an element information item which matches a strict wildcard.
MSM: Difference in the terms is
used to reflect the difference in the attitude of the
... Do we want one behavior or two behaviors. Understood convergence of the group to be two behaviors.
... Recollection from F2F: we want more complex behavior. We are in the business of what we want the spec to say.
Kumar: Not change section 8, but an issue of how the schema processor is invoked.
Ginny: Agree with MSM's description of what the group was considering.
Pratul: We will take this up at next meeting.

As Vermont candidates face questions about how to grow our local economy, in Washington the consequences of Bush-era policies — particularly the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, and the rapid escalation in defense spending — are coming home to roost, making it all the more likely that Washington can no longer provide additional stimulus to jumpstart the economy, putting more of an onus on states to provide visionary and bold visions of their own.

Free Time in the Bank
(What I mean is, I got nothin'.)
These are the times when it would be great to have several posts "in the bank," so to speak. You know, something pre-written and ready to go in case I'm out of ideas. I really need to get around to banking those. One of these days, when I get some free time.
Maybe this is a good time to say thanks to everyone who checks in, and to those who follow Pasadena Daily Photo.
(Yeah, yeah, that'll work. Try that.)
I love taking the photos, posting them and writing about them, and you all make it worth it. Thank you.
(Okay, well, it sort of worked. I should still bank some, though.)

I've said this before: I doubt I could be a daily blogger. And I woodn't wanna bee one anyway.
I have a few posts in the old lock box, or bank as you call it. The problem is then trying to get them outta there & then onto the web!
Thanks, P, 4 being there each day! (Like the newspaper)

Midnight publication? Pasadena NIGHTLY Photo
I do love tonight's photo. It speaks volumes.
I don't believe that you could ever have nothing pithy to say; but if that's how you feel, then you just (once in a great while) have to tell your blog to pith off.

Oh, absolutely it worked, Petrea! And thank YOU for taking the photos, posting them, and writing about them. Every day. That's commitment! {LOL, Dina!}

You guys are sweet, thank you! And of course as I was falling asleep last night I thought of something someone had sent me that I could have posted. So I have something for tomorrow! Yay! I'll start working on it early, before I get tired. I'm having one of those weeks when I don't have blog-visiting time. How's everything going out there?

Well, since you asked, I have two kids home from school (trying to keep them from getting the swine flu), a car in the shop (with the accompanying large bill), and riding my bike to work in 100+ temps. But other than that, things are going very well, thank you.
But truly, Petrea, PDP is one of the ten sites that I open on my browser religiously every morning. The photos, your writing, and the accompanying discussion always set a wonderful tone for my morning. So thanks for your devotion to us blog readers, and thanks for following your muse!

Everything is going OK, Petrea, except for Sarah. She is closing her blog today. :(
How sad. Sometimes this verkakte world is so cruel to the young and tender ones.

Loren, is there swine flu at your kids' school? Which school? (Maybe you should email me so as not to start a panic...) As for the bike riding, good. 100 degrees, not so good.
Dina, thanks for letting me know about Sarah and Mashhad. That's one blog visit I had to make to day.

Very contemplative photo; I like the subtle colors. Thank YOU for taking and posting such wonderful Pasadena photos and teaching us all about the area where you live. I love popping by every day, even if I don't comment. I agree you should pre-post a few photos to give yourself a break though. Try it, you'll like it!

I can totally relate. Sometimes I'm embarrassed to post the photo I've picked out, but a daily photo commitment means you've just got to throw something up there! I appreciate your constant support in this crazy blogging world.

Combined with the title, this photo reminds me of a scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Butch goes into a bank just as they are closing up, shuttering the windows and this exchange happens:
Butch Cassidy: What happened to the old bank? It was beautiful.
Guard: People kept robbing it.
Butch Cassidy: Small price to pay for beauty.

Jana, welcome and thank you. Nice website, by the way.
Katie, that brings to mind a question: will you be blogging from France and England next month? Exciting!
Oh Ben, I know you can relate! Don't we both know the feeling.
Vanda, I'd search for that on Youtube but I'm not quite sure how.
Thank you, Desiree.
Greg, I happen to think that's funny (and not so badly photoshopped, either).
Ibarionex, thank you! I know a photographer or two who'd be jealous of me having such a comment from you on a photo. Can I just tell you I shot that with the Olympus and did very little to it? I'm shooting regularly with the D20 and I've gotten some good shots, but I'm going to have to print out the manual and carry it with me!
Thank you so much, Marley. You've inspired me, too. I'm going to try something next week based on one of your ideas. (I'll let you know.)
Hey thanks, everyone. I'm glad this worked out. I'm enjoying photography more and more each day.

Oh, I'm all snarky in the early a.m.
Thanks, V. I've got thousands of shots and I'm not like Eric--I don't feel the need to post one I took that very day. It's the writing where my mind blanks. And I'm picky like you, I want it to be good. I can tell you're that way by looking at your blog.
Please sir, I want some more.

The care and well-being of all children, staff and visitors at Occold is our highest priority. Whilst this does include duties such as making safeguarding referrals, keeping children safe is part of a wider school ethos which includes equipping children with the skills to become responsible citizens. This includes a commitment to PSHE (Personal Social and Health Education), online safety education and access to a broad and balanced curriculum which makes children aware of both British Values as well as those of different cultures, faiths and non-religious traditions.
All three persons work closely together in all issues of Safeguarding and report to the Governing Board when appropriate. Please click here for a copy of our safeguarding policy.
There has been considerable recent media coverage with regard to the exposure of children and young people to various forms of extremism. In many respects, radicalisation in whatever form is essentially an aspect of safeguarding. Furthermore, research suggests that young people who have experienced abuse, isolation etc or have special needs may be at more risk. As with more general Safeguarding, there is sometimes the perception that 'it couldn't happen here', but evidence from Suffolk shows that it is. It is worth noting that extremism can occur across the political spectrum and more may also include causes such as environmentalism, animal rights and countryside cultural issues.
Identifying and supporting children who may be suffering from social isolation, domestic break-ups or other vulnerabilities early on in lives is one step that could prevent them from being drawn to radical or extremist groups later in their lives.
Occold Primary School is committed to instilling a culture of respect and tolerance. This is embedded in our School Vision which states 'Our children will become well–rounded, socially successful individuals who are respectful, compassionate, tolerant and show an awareness of other people's needs and cultures'. To this end, pupils take part in activities based around raising awareness of British values, are taught the importance of being safe online aware and are encouraged to think critically and challenge the authenticity of media. As with other aspects of Safeguarding, if you have any concerns in this area, please contact the Designated Lead Professional (Paul Parslow-Williams) or the Alternate (Sarah Prentice/Gemma Watts).
This link will take you the Suffolk Safeguarding Children Board website if you require further information.

Face value
By David Hennessy
"There's nothing wrong with asking someone where they're from but when you ask: 'Where are you really from?' says Davina Perera, the half-Irish actress currently appearing in Yellow Face, a play that takes a humorous look at racial stereotypes and issues around racial identity.
David Henry Hwang is both the playwright and Yellow Face's protagonist. The play begins with David protesting vehemently against the casting of a white actor in Miss Saigon but this sets him up for a big fall when he makes the mistake himself of casting a Caucasian actor in his play, Face Value.
Struggling to find an Asian actor who fits the part, David turns to Marcus G Dahlman, played by Ben Starr, taking him to be mixed race although not looking Asian.
Kevin Shen plays the playwright who immorallysacks his star for being white but then when the same actor goes on to speak about Asian issues, David delights in seeing the "ethnic tourist" hounded by the racially motivated authorities.
Davina reveals although the play creates discussion about race, it is something people often don't know how to bring up: "They always seem a little bit cautious after seeing the show about asking us where we are from. I think when you're someone like me, you have to expect it because Sri Lankans look at me and they know I'm not Sri Lankan, Indians will look at me and know I'm not Indian, the Irish will look at me and know I'm not Irish. Only once in my life has someone got it right, once guessed Irish-Sri Lankan. Don't know how they did it. I was gobsmacked.
"Someone once said to me: 'What's your combination?' I was like: 'What, for my school locker?' My husband has a friend who once, before he met me, saw a picture and said: 'Oh, she's very.. international looking'. People are so afraid of saying the wrong thing and I think it's a shame because it's just become far too PC and there are extremes of both sides.
"I can understand why people have a curiosity when someone looks different to what they're used to, they do want to know what their heritage is and what makes them look the way they look."
Davina's mother is from Belfast while her father's side of the family is Sri Lankan. Davina has performed on Broadway last year in 80 Days around the World. She could have reprised her role in this piece but opted instead to be a part of Yellow Face, turning down a lead role.
Yellow Face also features Gemma Chan of Fresh Meat and Dates. Ben Starr spoke in his interview about how Asian actors often encounter stereotyping. Is this something Davina has encountered? "I'm very lucky in that I've not been massively typecast but unless a TV role specifically says any ethnicity or Asian, I won't get suggested for it. The industry in this country is very white dominated and it's hard for mixed race people as well but it's getting better slowly.
Her current role calls for Davina to play both men and women of different races as all the actors, apart from Kevin and Ben who remain as David and Marcus, take on several different roles: "It's such blind casting. It has to be a piece like this."
The news that Yellow Face was transferring to The National Theatre after its successful run at Park Theatre last year was exciting news from the very beginning but Davina had to think long and hard before signing on as she is now six and a half months pregnant with her first baby due in August: "I did have to think about it a lot because the news that it was transferring came up very early (in my pregnancy) and I didn't know whether I should say something because I was still early in the first trimester so I just held on until I was in that safety zone of 12 weeks and then I told them.
"I just said: 'So you know- I'm pregnant'. It turned out they were absolutely thrilled to have a pregnant woman because it ticked another box for them!
"Being a woman in this industry is hard enough. I've heard of people getting dropped by their agents because they're pregnant and I did live with that fear: 'Am I killing my career by wanting to start a family?' But my agent's been amazing and very supportive and how many pregnant women have been on the stages here is incredible and showing much more than I am as well so it eased my mind. Hearing how many pregnant women have been employed is just wonderful, it's just not promoted enough. You don't have to stop just because you've got a bit of a belly."
What was it like for London-born Davina to grow up with an interesting mix of Irish and Sri Lankan? "They're both cultures where family and cultural identity is very important so the passion that they both have transcends any cultural differences so there's a mutual respect. I have early childhood memories of my mum, an Irish woman, wearing a sari and cooking curry for Sri Lankan family and my dad, although I don't remember it, there are lots of pictures of him in Ireland. The two cultures really compliment each other and for my wedding, my husband's Cornish, we had a mixture of Irish, Sri Lankan and Cornish."
Davina has family in Belfast and Cork and loves to visit a town in the Banner county: "My husband actually works in Ennis. He's over there quite regularly and I go over as much as I can with him because it is the most beautiful place. Whenever I go over there, I stock up on things like Kimberley biscuits and Mikados, they're like a childhood favourite."
Yellow Face is at the National until May 24. For more information, go to: www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/.

24/7 Support
The Regional Centre activity operates once a week but the support available to the participants is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Need of intervention can occur at any time of day for individuals with chaotic lifestyles. The floating support team is permanently on stand by to rapidly respond to serious needs and prevent more serious outcomes.
Social Inclusion
Individuals with multiple and complex needs more often than not become ostracised from mainstream society. We strongly believe that reintegration into communities is key for individuals to be fully rehabilitated. Locally sourced volunteers and peers form a nucleus of friendships that are positive and affirming. For this reason we try not to attach tags such as 'homeless' to the individuals we work with as this can lead to institutionalisation. We acknowledge that our participants have had certain experiences in their past but we don't believe these experiences define who they are.
Indefinite Support
Street Soccer Academy offers long-term support to service users in communities even after exit from the education programmes. We recognize that circumstances can change for individuals further down the line once other official forms of support have come to an end, which can result in intervention being necessary. The significant level of wrap-around support provided by our floating support team enables us to react swiftly to changing circumstances in order to bring stability to apparently threatening situations.
Peer Mentoring
On successful completion of the Level 1 Education Programme, participants can apply to become mentors. This offers an increased level of qualification and experience and develops leadership skills in the mentors as they set the example to others. Giving individuals 'something to lose' can act as a strong deterrent to repeat negative cyclical behaviour and encourage healthier lifestyles.
The programmes of learning are designed to empower the participants in order to increase the level of control they perceive that they have over their lives. The regional centres are service user led in order to provide a platform of responsibility. Resources are provided to help aid increased control and empowerment away from regional centre activity and encourage responsible behaviour.
The privileges and opportunities that are attainable are earned and deserved. The more effort the participants exert, the increased opportunities that become available. When the agreed code of conduct is broken, sanctions are applied.

FreeCAD is "a a general purpose Open Source 3D CAD/MCAD/CAx/CAE/PLM modeler" written in C++, with python scripting built in. It runs on Windows, Linux, and supposedly Mac OS X. FreeCAD is built "with a modular software architecture which makes it easy to provide additional functionality without modifying the core system."
I am interested in adapting some of the HeeksCNC libraries to a plugin for FreeCAD. My motives are practical, I think:
1. FreeCAD's is maintained by a core group of developers already. They are very active.
2. It has python scripting built in by default. HeeksPython is great,but is broken frequently by changes to HeeksCAD itself.
3. The OS related build system is already taken care of for all desktop platforms. I don't want to deal with this at all.
4. There is an active FreeCAD forum.
5. I just want to work on CADCAM and import/export issues.
I have been working on improving the DXF import/export scripts that are already in FreeCAD and have started on a DXF to constraints/Sketcher importer. I have also started work on backplotting CNC g-code into FreeCAD:
The screenshot is from some g-code that I generated in HeeksCNC and backplotted using the HeeksCNC python scripting, adapted to FreeCAD.

Hi Dan,ReplyDelete
I am very interested in a CAM-Module for FreeCad.
I would like to help (if I can ...)
I do have programming skills but I am not familiar with python.
Is there already something that I can download for beta testing? ;)
Kind regards
Hi Jörg,ReplyDelete
Sorry, I didn't see your comment until tonight. I have been learning a bit about qtDesigner and it's been a good lesson in gui programming. I don't have anything that is user friendly yet, but hopefully soon.
I have a git repo here
When I have something simple that is close to use, I will put it up there.
Hi Dan,ReplyDelete
that sounds great!
Your progress looks good ;)
Thank you!
It would appear that the team is exploring the probability to succeed towards becoming a PLM/PDM option. The group is in contact with the OpenPLM venture. That foliage us a few more concerns, the 1st of which getting, regardless of whether FreeCAD will almost certainly stabilize any time soon. But, fantastic article!ReplyDelete

Love It and Leave It: A Legacy of Gifts to the Ateneo Art Gallery
Tuesday, 20 Feb 2018 to Sunday, 16 Jun 2019
Mr & Mrs Chung Te Gallery, Mr & Mrs Ching Tan Gallery, and Ernesto and Susan Tanmantiong Gallery
Admission is free of charge. To book a tour, e-mail us at email@example.com or call Esty Bagos, Museum Education Officer at 426-6488.
The Ateneo Art Gallery moves to its new home in Areté. The Upper Ground Floor Galleries – Mr & Mrs Chung Te Gallery, Mr & Mrs Ching Tan Gallery, and Ernesto and Susan Tanmantiong Gallery – are venues allocated for the AAG Permanent Collection.
Its inaugural exhibition focuses on the growth of the AAG Collection through the generosity of various donors. This exhibit also aims to highlight on the role of philanthropy which not only sustained the growth of the AAG but also made possible the realization of the newly-constructed Areté.
From Fernando Zobel, whose donation to AdMU led to the founding of the Ateneo Art Gallery in 1960, to succeeding donations from Ateneo alumni and visual artists, the AAG Collection has grown into what is now considered an important collection of post-war Philippine modern art, Social Realist art from the 1970s and 1980s, and contemporary works. The exhibit is divided into decades with each section featuring a list of names of all donors and a selection of works from each period. During its one-year run, works within each section will be rotated to ensure that all donors are represented and their donations exhibited.

From Stand Up To Cancer blog: "The same Australian scientist who developed the cervical cancer vaccine believes he may have developed a similar skin cancer vaccine. It works the same way - by targeting papillomavirus, this time in the form of a very common skin infection that can linger in the body, eventually leading to cancer. Already shown to work in animals, the vaccine starts human trials next year and could hit the market as early as 2014. "
It is not a cure, but it is a step in the right direction which could save thousands of lives each year. This guy is amazing and I am happy that his focus is on cancer research.
Below is a link to the article describing the vaccine.

This season of Grey's Anatomy is getting down to the real drama as the show inches itself toward its close. In anticipation to see what happens to Izzie, Derek's professional performance and Meredith's engagement ring that Derek chucked into the woods, I have to ask my self: Is the occurring drama actually as good as it seems?
I am stuck thinking this show is either fabulous or ridiculous. Without really knowing what goes on inside a hospital I cannot conclude what actually happens or not. Maybe it is the character relations that are so aggravating. Can Meredith be any more selfish? Are hospital interns really that stupid? Do doctors always get away with yelling at patients?
Oh yeah, now I remind my self that it is a television show with a cause to provide entertainment.
Now that we all know Izzie has some type of odd cancer, it is down to Derek to save her. If she dies under Derek's hand, it is safe to assume that he will go into a depressive state while poor Meredith, as selfish as she is, will never get to marry him because she will be too busy picking up his beer cans. If Izzie lives, then I don't know – congratulations Derek and on to the next season?
Without looking at the Grey's Anatomy Insider Web site, I still cannot decide if Izzie will live or die. Now if this there is a twist to this week's episode, I will believe this show is a masterpiece. Otherwise, I'll look forward to the new actor who takes Izzie's place.

I have never read the book but have heard quite a bit about it. I am glad that you were able to absorb plenty of useful information from the book.ReplyDelete
I have spoken with some friends about generational wealth. To them I sound bat shit crazy but I can see plan.... and I know that I am just laying the foundation now. I will live comfortable and so will my family that I leave behind. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for the reminder D4S. Love this book and will read it again one day. I will pass on this book to my kids.ReplyDelete
Keep hustling hard bro. Cheers!
I read it about 6 months ago and that was what made me actually calculate my net worth. I have always saved and/or paid down things like student debt but really had no idea how much I had accumulated over the last decade since being out of school. A very good book to read to get your mindset right about what truly builds wealth.ReplyDeleteReplies

I started tracking my daily spending and net worth calculating before reading the book. It was way back in the late 90s. But I wasn't really saving enough. So when I read the book, I realized that I had to save. I realized that a car is just a car. I also met a lot of 'closet' millionaires. You would never know that they were wealthy based on their lifestyles. Definitely, it is a mindset thing.
Hey D4S,ReplyDelete
I really enjoyed reading the book and it affirmed the type of life that we want to live. You have lots of money by not spending all your money, essentially, lol. It will help our mindset throughout our lives.
Yes - not spending. But also spending wisely. You don't need a large house. You don't need a flashy cars. You don't need to spoil your kids. And then, you invest wisely - and don't be scared of the market - though it's very scary now if you ask me :)
