Plan for the Database Repository
Use this section to determine what relational database to use as the database repository for Aperi. There are two relational databases available for use with Aperi:
- Apache Derby is a relational database implemented entirely in Java and available under the Apache License, Version 2.0. Click here for more information. Apache Derby is included with the Aperi installation and can be installed using the Aperi Configurator. Click here for instructions on how to install it using the Aperi Configurator.
Note about Apache Derby Security: Aperi Storage Manager does not currently implement all the security features in Derby for an enterprise-wide management application. Most notably, the Aperi Configurator does not configure any user authentication for the Derby RDBMS.This means that anyone will be able to connect to and use the installation of Derby that comes with Aperi.
Skip to the next section if you plan to use Apache Derby as the database repository.
- DB2 8 for Linux UNIX and Windows. Click here for more information about this relational database.
Complete the steps in this section if you plan to use DB2 as the Aperi database repository.
Perform the following steps to download and set up DB2 for use with Aperi Storage Manager:
- Download DB2. You can download DB2 from here.
- Install DB2 using the default settings. Note the db2admin password that you choose during the installation.
- Continue to the next section Install the Aperi Storage Manager files.
Install Aperi Storage Manager files
Install the Aperi Storage Manager files on machines:
- Whose storage you want to manage and monitor.
- Where you want to run the Aperi Storage Manager's user interface
- Where you want to run the server component. This machine must be able to communicate with the machines where you install the agents and user interface.
Perform the following steps to install the server, agent, or GUI on a machine:
- Locate the Aperi Storage Manager .zip file.
- Place the .zip file in the directory where you want to install the product.
- Use an unzipping tool to unzip the file.
- Download required components that are not distributed with the Aperi Storage Manager .zip file. There are two methods for downloading required third-party files:
- Use Aperi's Installer to automatically download the files
- Manually download and install the required files by hand HOWTO Hand download and install external dependencies
Install Aperi Storage Manager
Use the Install tool to set up Aperi Storage Manager components on the machine where you unzipped the product. The package that you unzipped contains the run-time files for all of Aperi Storage Manager's main components: a host-based agent, a server, and a GUI. You do not have to configure all the components on each machine; rather, use the Installer to set up only the components that you want to run on a particular machine.
Note: Keep in mind that you must configure the server on one machine, called the "server host". The server host normally also has the agent and GUI configured on it.
The Installer will ask you several questions to help you configure Aperi Storage Manager for your environment.
1. Make sure you have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from IBM or Sun 1.5 installed on your machine. To check for Java on a machine, start a command prompt window (Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt) and type java -version from a command line.
If you see text similar to the following then continue to step 2:
java version "1.5.0_07" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_07-b03, mixed mode)
If you see text like the following, download the JRE from the IBM or Sun (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp) web sites before continuing:
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
2. Set java into your PATH by typing the following at the command prompt:
set path=%path%;C:\path_to_java_directory\jdk1.5.0_07\bin
where path_to_java_directory represents the directory where the JRE is installed.
Setting the Java path has two purposes: 1) it is used to run the Installer, and 2 ) it is stored in the Aperi startup scripts and used to run Aperi Storage Manager. This means that if you later uninstall the Java with this path, you won't be able to start Aperi Storage Manager until you reconfigure Aperi.
Note: You can also edit the install.bat file or the System Path to contain the JRE pathname.
3. Change to the [aperi_install_directory>\install subdirectory where you installed the Aperi Storage Manager files. For example, type cd c:\aperi\install ] and press Enter.
4. Start the Installer using the following steps: Note: when running under Linux, you must first execute the following command against the cfgaperi file: chmod +x install * Type install and press Enter. Continue to the next section.
5. Use the Installer
When the Installer starts, a graphical interface will appear:
1. The welcome screen introduces the installer. Press Next.
2. Read the license agreement. Press Accept.
3. Indicate which components you want to configure on the machine. If this is your first time, or you wish to do things "normally", accept the defaults and answer Next.
4. Agent - If you are configuring the agent, you are asked to supply port value for the subagent. The subagent will open a socket on this port for communication with the server. You may choose any valid port number (0..65535) although, of course, you should not choose a port that are already in use. The only reason to override the default for this two question is when you know the default value is already in use.
5. Server - Configure the servers: data, device, and report servers. If you answered Yes to the server question in step 1, the following will appear: * Server hostname: [localhost] * Data server port: [9549] * Device server port: [9000] * Administrator group: [Administrators] * Report server repository path: [default path]
6. Database - Either Derby or DB2. If the database already exists, a new one will not be created. * Hostname: [localhost] * Port: [default] * Driver: [default] * Username (if db2) * Password (if db2)
7. Installation Progress - Click install to begin the actual installation (configuration)
Uninstall Aperi Storage Manager
To uninstall Aperi:
1. Shut down any Aperi components that are running. See Shut Down Aperi Storage Manager for instructions on how to shut down Aperi components. 2. Delete the Aperi installation directory.

Camping World/Good Sam Buys Nationwide RV
March 13, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Camping World/Good Sam Buys Nationwide RV
Camping World Inc. (CWI) and Good Sam Enterprises LLC today (March 13) announced the signing of an agreement to acquire Nationwide RV, an existing RV dealership in Grain Valley, Mo., in the next 30 to 60 days.
According to a news release, plans are for the location to undergo expansion including adding additional service bays, a new Camping World retail store and a state-of-the-art collision center.
"The acquisition of the Kansas City location is a perfect strategic fit for us in terms of the location being contiguous to our existing business as well as allowing for expansion and broadening our market share throughout Missouri as well as nearby Kansas and Iowa," said Marcus Lemonis, chairman and CEO of Camping World and Good Sam. "I always look for three things – people, process and product – in relation to enhancing our Camping World and Good Sam presence. Our focus is to increase our representation to existing and prospective RV owners and expand our service and product offering."
Camping World of Kansas City represents the third location in Missouri for the national chain. The company has a supercenter in the Springfield market and recently announced the opening of a new location in Columbia in May.
Offering easy access off of Interstate 70, Camping World of Kansas City will carry a wide array of RV sales, service, collision, parts and accessories for the outdoor enthusiast while showcasing motorhomes and towables from the industry's leading manufacturers. On the accessory side, the new location will feature new and innovative products including interactive displays and customer experiences from the top vendors.
Camping World said it expects the new supercenter to be one of its best and is pleased to have the current employees at the Nationwide RV location join the Camping World staff. The location will also be adding additional positions for seasoned and professional RV sales associates, technicians and retail support.
The company is also set to soon announce acquisition of additional RV dealerships across the country. Camping World said its goal is to add more quality manufacturers and brands, increase their presence in the market and grow the work force.

Chrystarium System & Character Leveling
Levelling up your characters in Final Fantasy XIII is a linear process. Throughout the first half of the game, each character will only have access to three paradigms. The game provides enough enemies to max out each class before it expands the Chrystarium.
After each character gains access to all of the classes, it is still a good idea to keep leveling them in their original Paradigms. The CP cost of each new ability grows exponentially and you'll need to devote your energy into obtaining the high level abilities in the characters' original Paradigms instead of the low level abilities in new ones.
For example, late in chapter twelve you will run across an extremely powerful enemy, one of deadliest and most powerful in the game. Unless you've leveled up your party, and Vanille's high level Saboteur abilities in particular, you'll have no chance to take this enemy down.
Within the three classes granted to each character, use your own discretion when choosing which ones to focus on first. Study the trees below and choose the path you want to take. You can easily switch focus if you run into difficulties. For example, if, like us, you find that Lightning dies very quickly against the enemies in chapter eleven, focus on the Medic paradigm, so as to boost her HP.
Within each paradigm, feel free to make a beeline for more powerful abilities and temporarily skip branches that may offer immediate and tangible benefits.
Weapons & Weapon Leveling
Each character has access to a variety of weapons in Final Fantasy XIII, and each of these can be upgraded and leveled up two times. Any given weapon can be upgraded to a star rank, meaning that without a special item it is maxed out. However, if you find specific, rare and expensive items, it is possible to transform a star level weapon. Once transformed, it will acquire new abilities. You can then upgrade it to star level again. Once there, the weapon can be transformed into the character's ultimate weapon.
The levelling path for all weapons lead to similar end points, so which weapon you decide to use is a matter of personal preference. A weapon will retain its special characteristics even after being upgraded to an ultimate weapon. For example Lightnings ultimate weapon, Omega weapon, confers an ATB +1 bonus. Her weapon, Apocalypse, slows ATB recovery. Once Apocalypse has been upgraded to Omega Weapon, it wall grant the ATB +1 bonus and slow ATB recovery. Check the weapon chart for more information.
We have listed our recommendations down below. The most important things is that you pick a single weapon per character and stick with it. Upgrading is expensive and there's no sense in wasting recourses on two different weapons when they both have the ability to became an omega weapon.
Recommendations for each character:
|Star Level 1
|Star Level 2
|Req. Materials
|Ultima Weapon
|Omega Weapon
|Scarletite and Trapezohedron
|Power Circle
|Battle Standard
|Scarletite and Trapezohedron
|Belladonna Wand
|Malboro Wand
|Uraninite and Trapezohedron
|Antares Deluxes
|Fomalhaut Elites
|Total Eclipses
|Uraninite and Trapezohedron
|Scarletite and Trapezohedron
|Pandoran Spear
|Calamity Spear
|Kain's Lance
|Scarletite and Trapezohedron
For quick upgrading, follow these tips:
Buy as many Wicked Fangs as you can. Use them to boost your experience multiplier.
After you've boosted your multiplier buy as many Crankshafts as possible. Cash them in all at once for big experience. Later in the game, you can use Superconductors for even bigger bonuses.
Be aware of when you're nearing your weapons level cap. You don't want to waste experience on a weapon that will be maxed out in 100 XP.
If an item doesn't seem to offer much experience, even in the presence of a large multiplier, check its sell price. Items like Credit Chips and Premium Chips are worth more in Gil than XP.

Kegel exercises are exercises that can help women strengthen the pelvic floor muscles (the muscles that support the urethra, bladder, uterus, and rectum). They are a type of pelvic floor muscle training. Stronger pelvic floor muscles can help reduce urine leakage associated with
urinary incontinence. These muscles can become weak over time or can be affected by childbirth, so doing these exercises before and during pregnancy will help with recovery.
It can take 3-6 weeks for Kegel exercises to make changes, so be patient. Fortunately, these exercises can be done anytime, anywhere so they are easy to add to your day.
Kegel exercises are simple, risk-free, and painless. They involve squeezing the pelvic floor muscles.
It may be difficult to initially identify the correct muscles. You may mistake contractions of your abdominal or thigh muscles as pelvic floor muscle movements. Here are some tips to help you identify the correct muscles:
The muscles you tighten are the muscles you should contract during Kegel exercises. If you continue to have problems identifying these muscles, talk to your doctor or nurse.
After you have identified your pelvic floor muscles, you are ready to begin doing Kegel exercises. These muscles will react to exercise like any other muscle. You may experience mild muscle soreness when you first begin doing these exercises. If you do too many exercises before you are ready, you might experience more pronounced muscle soreness and fatigue.
When you are comfortable with the exercise, you can do them for five minutes, three times a day. You can do them lying down, sitting, and standing.
The following tips may help you remember to do your Kegel exercises:
Loss of bladder control is common, especially as you get older. Kegel exercises offer you the benefit of trying to solve the problem without medical treatment. A few minutes a day, a few times a day may make a big difference. Keep them up because you will only benefit from these exercises if you continue to do them.

Cenovus Energy Inc (CVE.TO) are in trader's focus this week as the Schaff Trend Cycle indicator has trending lower consistently over the past week. Investors will be watching to see if the price level breaches the overbought signal at 75, which would suggest the strong likelihood of a near-term pullback.
Introduced in 2008 by Douglas Schaff, the conecpt of the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) is to identify peaks and lows and predict reversals by running through a cycle oscillator, creating an effective indicator for entry and exit signals, when used in conjuction with additional signals. The STC combines an exponential moving average with slow stochastics to display a signal line that oscillates between two levels on a scale of 0 to 100.
Investors may have to periodically remind themselves that they don't have to be locked in to any given trade. Sometimes, even the best researched trade may go sour. Doubling down on losses can be a dangerous game even for the experienced investor. Investors may hold out exiting a certain trade with the hope that eventually the stock will bounce back and they can at least break even. Of course this may occasionally be the case, but there is also the chance that a stock may continue to spiral downward. Investors who are able to control their emotions and logically manage their positions may give themselves a slight advantage when tough decisions need to be made. Nobody can say for sure which way the market momentum will swing on any given day, but being prepared for those swings can help the trader or investor make the best possible decisions at any given moment.
Moving to some additional technical metrics, we note that Cenovus Energy Inc (CVE.TO) presently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -153.58. The CCI was created to typically stay within the reading of -100 to +100. Traders may use the indicator to determine if a stock is trending or to spot overbought/oversold conditions. A CCI reading above the +100 level would suggest that the stock is overbought and possibly primed for a correction. On the other hand, a reading of -100 would indicate that the stock is oversold.
Active investors are typically interested in the factors that drive stock price movements. Buying an individual stock means that you own a piece of the company. The hope is that the company does very well and becomes highly profitable. A profitable company may decide to do various things with the profits. They may reinvest profits back into the business, or they may choose to pay shareholders dividends from those earnings. Sometimes stocks may eventually become undervalued or overvalued. Spotting these trends may lead to further examination or the underlying fundamentals of the company. A company that continues to disappoint on the earnings front may have some issues that need to be addressed. It is highly important to make sure all the research is done on a stock, especially if the investor is heavily weighted on the name. Sometimes earnings reports may be good, but the stock price does not reflect that. Having a good understanding of the entire picture may help investors better travel the winding stock market road.
A popular tool among technical stock analysts is the moving average. Moving averages are considered to be lagging indicators that simply take the average price of a stock over a certain period of time. They may also be used to assist the trader figure out proper support and resistance levels for the stock. Currently, Cenovus Energy Inc (CVE.TO) has a 200-day MA of 12.11, and a 50-day of 11.59. Presently, the stock has a 14-day RSI of 25.31 and the 7-day is sitting at 15.98. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of multiple popular technical indicators created by J. Welles Wilder. Wilder introduced RSI in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" which was published in 1978. RSI measures the magnitude and velocity of directional price movements. The data is represented graphically by fluctuating between a value of 0 and 100. The indicator is computed by using the average losses and gains of a stock over a certain time period. RSI can be used to help spot overbought or oversold conditions. An RSI reading over 70 would be considered overbought, and a reading under 30 would indicate oversold conditions. A level of 50 would indicate neutral market momentum.
Cenovus Energy Inc (CVE.TO)'s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R presently is at -95.71. In general, if the reading goes above -20, the stock may be considered to be overbought. Alternately, if the indicator goes under -80, this may show the stock as being oversold. We can also take a look at the Average Directional Index or ADX of the stock. For traders looking to capitalize on trends, the ADX may be an essential technical tool. The ADX is used to measure trend strength. ADX calculations are made based on the moving average price range expansion over a specified amount of time. ADX is charted as a line with values ranging from 0 to 100. The indicator is non-directional meaning that it gauges trend strength whether the stock price is trending higher or lower. The 14-day ADX is 31.22. In general, and ADX value from 0-25 would represent an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would indicate a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would indicate a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would signify an extremely strong trend.
Inexperienced investors may have the tendency to purchase stocks that have recently been on a big run higher. This may be a result of not paying close attention to the fundamentals, or simply hoping that the stock will continue the move higher. Buying after a big move to the upside may mean that the investor is essentially paying too much for the stock at those levels. Sometimes a stock will take off and get too far ahead of its underlying value which may result in the price being overvalued. Keeping a close eye on the fundamentals may be a good way for the investor to know where the stock stands at any point in time.

Recent studies by Cornell University and the Nature Conservancy concluded that up to 70 percent of our state's forestland is not regenerating. Since our current second-growth forests are entering the last quarter of their life cycle, this is a problem that should concern every New Yorker.
Recent studies by Cornell University and the Nature Conservancy concluded that up to 70 percent of our state's forestland is not regenerating. Since our current second-growth forests are entering the last quarter of their life cycle, this is a problem that should concern every New Yorker.
Our forests provide critical services to the ecosystem, including the purification and holding of water and the prevention of soil erosion. A single mature tree can sequester 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year and produce enough oxygen to meet the needs of two people.
Forests provide habitat for countless species of wildlife, and recreational opportunities and aesthetic values that contribute to our quality of life. Forests also provide important economic benefits to the state.
The forest products industry employs more than 60,000 people and contributes almost $9 billion per year to the state's gross annual product. Forests cover 65 percent of our state; losing them would be unimaginable.
Most of our current forests developed when farmland was abandoned starting in the late 1800s. During the last half of the 20th century, in the absence of natural predators, deer populations have exploded to levels far exceeding the carrying capacity of the forest. In many woodlands, the deer consumed the entire understory of the forest, including seedlings of desirable tree species.
In some cases, the natural understory has been replaced by undesirable vegetation not eaten by deer, and this vegetation is so well established that it prevents the germination of tree seeds.
Aggressive management action will be required to address this problem before the seed trees are gone. Deer populations will have to be significantly reduced in some areas, or the deer will have to be fenced out of woodlands where forest regeneration is being attempted — an expensive alternative.
Broad use of EPA-approved forest herbicides will be necessary to control interfering vegetation. Heavy thinning of the existing forest may be required to admit sufficient sunlight to establish the future forest.
Eighty percent of New York's forest land is privately owned, and forest owners will need the public's understanding of the measures necessary to establish the next forest. They will also need cost-share assistance from established state and federal programs in order to succeed.
The New York Forest Owners Association (NYFOA) is a nonprofit organization of private woodland owners whose mission is to promote sustainable forestry practices in New York state.
In conjunction with our 50th anniversary, NYFOA has announced the "Restore New York Woodlands" campaign to engage and educate other forest stakeholder organizations and the general public about the issue of and solutions to inadequate forest regeneration.
NYFOA's 10 regional chapters will be hosting public woods walks in May to celebrate the many benefits our forests provide and discuss the threats they face. Go to our website at NYFOA.org to find more information about the forest regeneration crisis and the location of woods walks planned throughout the state.
Jim Minor is president of the New York Forest Owners Association.

Who would make a good shinigami?
Ok the rules are must choose a character outside of bleach, justify your reasoning, the character can't be a death-god type character in antoher series, and theres probably more but use common sense.
I would say Sephiroth from FF7. He's pretty good with the sword, good with magic, and he already wears black.
Cloud would be ok too, but Sephiroth is a better fit and Cloud just has way too many swords to keep track of. Imagine if he had to learn the name of each and every one

Just starting the discussion page.
Don't forget to sign your entries with your wiki name and to split entries.
The initial discussion started on the freedesktop.org mailing list. Shaun's first post contains a great summary of the goals of a common documentation standard. See also my follow-up summarizing what we agreed on.
There's a number of possibilities for how we find help files. This is all about coming up with a mapping from URIs to file names.
The first question is what we use for URIs. There're basically two possibilities here. The first is to use https URLs that resolve to actual files on the internet. We then create some sort of local mapping to find those files on the local box. Let's call this local cache mapping.
The second possibility is to have a specific URI domain that things map to. For example, we could map help:gnumeric/gnumeric.xml to $XDG_DATA_DIRS/help/C/gnumeric/gnumeric.xml (using the XDG base directory spec.) Of course, the app would look under different languages based on what locale the user was in. A variation on this is what KDE uses.
There are a number of issues that have to be dealt with in both cases, as well as issues specific to one method or the other.
The first issue I think of is the fact that a single docbook file often maps to multiple pages of data. This is the case in how help is displayed in both Gnome and KDE. I'm not sure how yelp solves this problem, but khelpcenter, if it can't find the given url, searches the directory given for an index.docbook file and uses that to generate the required html file. It saves this information to a cache file and just loads from that cache file if it exists. This solution works quite well.
I've thought of three possibilities for local cache mapping. Let's call them methods 1, 2, and 3.
Methods 1 and 2 have in common that they're an arbitrary mapping from URL to filename. Method 1 is to have a database mapping the information and method 2 is to have individual files (probably .desktop file format) each one describing a single document. With method 2, you can have a database with a cache of all the information, but it's not the cononical source.
For packaging purposes, method 2 is very clearly preferred to method 1. It's much easier for a distro to install an extra file than to modify a file that's already there. This is the reason, for example, that the menu spec allows you to search a directory and add any menu files found to the current menu.
Method 3 is to have a specified mapping from URL to file name. For example, http://www.clahey.net/docs/present.html might map to /usr/share/docs/www.clahey.net/docs/present.html with a backup to look for present.docbook or something like that.
Of these 3, my favorite is method 2. However, I don't actually like any of them. I don't want a local cache mapping.
First, it has the conceptual problem that a URL is variable whereas the docs on a particular distro are not. Or at the very least, they're variable in different dimensions.
For example, if a distro makes changes to a program that lead to changes in documentation, that particular version of the doc is different from the one at the "cononical" source. Theoretically, you could put the docs in a different place, but there could be links all over the place to those docs. For instance, if docs for another program refer to docs for this program, when the user clicks on that link, you want them to get the docs for the version of the program that they will run, not the docs for some theoretical upstream version.
Whereas online docs change in a different dimension, that of time. Say someone is using the upstream version of a program. They want the docs for their version, not the ones for the latest version. However, the link is to the online version which is going to be the latest version. Yes, it's going to try to map to the local copy, but which is the correct version of the document?
The reason using online mappings like this works for DTDs is that they're defining something which isn't nearly as variable. Yes, the language described by the DTD changes over time, but you'll also note that the URL changes when the DTD does, and the documents described by the old DTD still point to the old URL as they should.
That makes sense because DTDs are about describing the type of the current document. But that's not what links in help docs are for. They're for referring to other help, which should change, even if the referencing document doesn't. Having versioned URLs for the help means a huge maintenance pain keeping the links up to date.
Local cache mapping is also a problem if a project doesn't have a web space of their own. Or say that the web space is small and won't handle high bandwidth. No matter whether we put the cache in or not, people will sometimes link to it. Or say that the web space is some awful URL. All in all, it seems like an odd requirement to have a web space to be able to link to your docs.
Finally, perhaps we can come up with some sort of database of information about where the cononical docs are kept and include that in the docs themselves. Perhaps in some metadata. That way we make the cononical version an optional thing instead of a requirement that doesn't really make sense anyway.
I like the idea of having a help: URI namespace. We should really use the XDG data dirs standard for this. We should map
As far as pages inside a file, I'm fairly happy with the behavior that KDE has.
One of the advantages of using XDG_DATA_DIRS is that we get the ability for user installed apps to have help very easily. The user can also do things like put a file in $XDG_DATA_HOME/help/common/default.css to change their stylesheet for accessibility or style reasons.
The next problem we need to solve is the table of contents of help (TOC).
KDE's solution is to use the menu system and just put a reference to the help in the desktop files. This has the advantage that the help is arranged in the same way as the menus, so if the user knows how to find the app, they can find the help for it.
KDE has the menu system as a subdirectory and keeps some other docs in a different hierarchy, but this is overly complicated. Instead, the help TOC should be a .menu file of its own with the main menu file as a subdirectory.
One of the things that can be done is to match other elements of the menu system in the TOC. For instance, if a DE adds recently used apps to the menus, those apps can have a special section in the help TOC.
Gnome uses scrollkeeper. One thing to note about scrollkeeper is that it requires keeping a database which takes up a bit of time every time we install. This also allows for the categories of help to be completely distinct from the applications themselves. This is a problem, since repeating the structure of the menus here means that the user only has to learn one location for a particular app. It would be possible to do the same thing with scrollkeeper, but it would add a whole lot of maintenance work to keep the two structures in sync.
The one thing I'm not sure how to handle is an app with multiple help files, or even an extendable set of help files.
For multiple help files, I suppose you could just list them all in the desktop file, but an extendable set of help files creates problems. The example I'm thinking of here is control center. In Novell's Gnome, control center is a single app, but the docs for it are split up into a bunch of bits. Does anyone have any suggestions for this problem?
The next thing I want to discuss is links to outside materials. I assume there's already a way to link to web pages, for instance. The main thing I'm curious about is the concept of launching applications and doing actions in them. For instance, the help manual for a particular app might be able to pull up that particular app or open a specific dialog in that app.
I think the right way to do this is the simple way. Just support a url scheme that lets you execute code. Perhaps shell: or something like that. This is simple and should work.
One thing that's important is the security issues here. If you're going to support this link type, you need to make sure that it comes from local documentation, and not a website.
An alternative to this is to just have a predefined set of actions that are possible. Say a specific directory full of desktop files for help docs to execute. The help doc just specifies the name of the desktop file. This way, even if a website does include such a link, all that happens is one of the predefined actions. (Note, the link shouldn't be allowed to pass arguments to the desktop file for security reasons. I think we need a separate desktop file for each possible thing the help doc might want to do.)
I've started writing up all the ideas here in the parent document as a specification.
I went in and boldly edited the parent document, recommending simple support for man and info. There are LOTS of documents in these formats; if we support them directly, then we have an integrated system for handling them. Forcing everyone to store man and HTML files makes no sense in many circumstances; best to do the translation on the fly, in which case a "man" convention helps.

Classification & Compensation
The Classification & Compensation programs in Human Resources relate to job classifications for staff and to wages/salaries for all non-instructional positions including management.
Staff should consult their respective collective bargaining agreement for specific procedures governing compensation and classification.
Compensation includes management requests for promotions of staff, reviewing proposed salary changes, establishing starting wages or salaries in conjunction with management and making recommendations to management on pay rates in general.
- Guide for the Request and Approval of In-Range Progressions
- Request Form for In-Range Progressions
- CSU Salary Schedules
- Total Compensation Calculator for the CSU
- Management Personnel Program (MPP) Compensation Guide
Classification includes classifying open positions before they are posted, requesting reclassifications, reviewing department re-organizations in which position responsibilities are changed and comparing campus classification requests to the established CSU Classification Standards.

If you look at European sports they talk in terms of best player or man of the match, but the MVP isn't necessarily the best player. Crosby has seven goals, but so does Dupuis, and Neal has 6. Malkin has 16 points but so does Letang and there are four other guys in double figures. Can you really pick one of them and say "this guy. This guy was the most valuable player, without him we'd be screwed"? There is only one player that sentence can be applied to; Tomas Vokoun.
Of course, this is often true of goalies. They rarely get the plaudits they deserve.
MVP is defined different ways by different people.
With all due respect, I've never been one who felt that MVP was a case of "without this player we'd be screwed", but rather which player adds the most value to the team. Which player makes the overall team that much better.
TV has done an outstanding job, for sure. But he did so by playing better than MAF, which is something a dozen or so backups in this league could have done. MAF didn't set the bar all that high with his final effort against the Isles.
While I appreciate the outstanding job TV is doing in net, he's not more valuable to this team (right now) than Crosby, he's not even more valuable than Martin (gasp... Did I just write that?)

What are my options to get this done?
The range will be 30ft max. I'm looking for the cheapest option.
Yes you need the Arduino, an Wireless SD shield or an XBee shield. These to shields then need the XBees or WiFly modules added. WiFly have the same footprint as the XBees and give you WiFi.However for a range of 30ft a wire connection should be ok. (Use twisted pair).
If I wanted my arduino board to read 4 analogue inputs, would I need 5 or 8 of the nRF24L01+ boards?

Go there and knock on doors. Should be interesting but I do not think you will make much money. Enough to survive ? Maybe. Soros might have something. Check out the Soros Foundation and the Open Society. Yahoo has a group about efl teaching in Macedonia, but most of its members seem to be far from that troubled land. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- scott47 If you knew anything about Macedonia you would know that the country is experiencing civil unrest, as the Albanian minority stage an armed insurrection against the government. {Theresa - There was again a period of unrest in early 2004. I will note that outside of Skopje, there is not a great deal of mixing of Serb and Albanian. And most non-Skopje Albanians live west (near Albania) and north (Kosovo way) of the capital city.} And there are no jobs for EFL native speaker teachers in Macedonia. {Theresa - this is a blanket statement that I will address below - look for this at the bottom of this post} You might find something through Soros, as Albulbul has suggested. But Macedonia is not Korea. You cannot just walk into a private language school becasue of your nationality and possession of a BA. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the above posts can be found here - http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/job/viewtopic.php?t=2336 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted December 2003 Been_There I'm in Kosovo, but I went to Skopje two weeks ago for a conference and it's not bad (remember that I'm in Kosovo). It has a few historic buildings that weren't destroyed by the earthquake (the old train station), a lot of communist architecture, a nice river flowing through the middle of it some western shops (none in my neck of the woods) and peanut butter. I can't find peanut butter in Kosovo. As for the cost of living: they use the Drachme, about 60 to the Euro (which you can use with cabbies, but not at corporate shops), and things are less than the US prices, but a bit more than where I am now. A cab ride from the center of town all the way out to the top of the mountain (about 20 minutes) where our hotel was was 150 Drachme. Full meal at a decent restaraunt (no drinks, we WERE working) was 90 Drachme. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- bud I lived in Skopje, Macedonia for six months around five years ago. Skopje is really a divided city, with the Macedonians on one side (i.e., the main side) and the Albanians on the other. On and near the Albanian side there are some interesting and historic-type structures, such as mosques and an old Turkish wall. A lot of the city got levelled in an earthquake in the '60s, so you're looking at a lot of strange, communist post-modernist something (I can't really describe it) architecture downtown. The post office looks like a giant UFO, something that Kazoo from The Flintstones would have flown back in the '60s. That said, Skopje's not a bad city and, as it isn't a sprawling city, you can get around quite easily on foot or with the pretty efficient bus service. It's got a nice mountain in the backdrop with a couple of old Orthodox churches up there. Rent in a typical block just outside the center cost around $200USD at that time. I'm thinking you need around $500/mth to break even (i.e., if you're paying rent). There are a few private schools - one called Nova - that I know of. If you feel the need to get away, you can take a train down to Thessaloniki in around five hours for almost nothing. I don't know how long it takes to get to Beograd. There's no train line to Sofia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- cummings I was there five years ago and loved it. The people were great and in Skopje you had access to most things you would expect to find in Europe. The teaching was good too with mainly adults studying. The social life centred around cafe society and cheap nights out eating and drinking. In the south of the country there is Ohrid in the summer where there is a beautiful lake and in winter the skiing is very cheap and excellent. Two of the teachers i knew then have since married Macedonian women which has to be a positive sign! I don't know how seriously it has changed since the Kosovo attacks but a friend of mine was back there last year and had no complaints. There are issues between the Macedonians and the Albanians but they didn't mix much then. The Albanians were all based in their own areas and towns at that time.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- khmerhit The bar where i drink in downtown north america is run by Macedonians-- theyve got a map of their country on the wall, and they speak in their lingo when theyre not busy. They seem pretty easy going but i dont think they are, really. Or at least, they dont put up with any nonsense. Theyre into all sorts of stuff, so they see a lot of nonsense, if you get my drift. I imagine Skopje, Macedonia would be a very interesting place! the above posts can be found here - http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/job/viewtopic.php?t=6745 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And finally ...... Milo The USA will always be my home, I plan to spend my retirement there. But while I am young I want to see the rest of the world. One of my most favorite memories is walking across an ancient bridge in Skopje, Macedonia. The air was full of foreign words in 3 different languages, of which I could understand 10%. Nobody knew or cared that I was American, it was just a moment in time when I was surrounded by something that nobody from my small USA town would likely ever experience. Somebody said 'Variety is the spice of life'. I'd like my life spicy, please. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My comments .... That there were virtually no jobs for ESL teachers was most certainly true in the not so distant past. Currently, there is a potential need for schools catering to English expatriates' children. This, of course, is not ESL. The Balkan Sunflowers works with Roma children in another area of the country. Very primitive conditions. Five years from now, ten years from now, things may be quite different as MK has good raw material resources and a vast base of unemployed. There is a sense of strong urgency in the government for the country to be inducted into the EU. Because of this, there is increasing support for changes that will support that. One area of potential strength is forging a common language bond. Currently, Albanians are generally demanding that their children be taught only in the Albanian language. They also want to have their own university where the instruction will not include any Macedonian. The also have demanded that the MK government have all documents, etc, in both the Macedonian and Albanian languages. English, however, is a relatively neutral issue, and one highly important to banking, business, economic development in general and in building a network of support with other countries. If you read the articles (link below) about Macedonia's cultural, political, economic and educational challenges, you will get a very good sense of this country's strengths and weaknesses.

Ron Guth: The 1942-P Type 2 Nickel in Proof was a late entry to the coin market. It was struck after the Mint had shifted to production of the silver war-time alloy and after all the Proof sets had been struck and sold to collectors. Thus, the 1942-P Type 2 Nickel was only available for purchase as a single coin. The total mintage of the Proof Type 2 Nickel was 27,600 pieces, compared to 29,600 of the Proof Type 1 Nickels.
As of July 2011, PCGS had certified over 4,500 Proof Type 2 Nickels, virtually all of which were Brilliant (non-Cameo) Proofs. The finest example certified by PCGS is a single PR-69.

Ever since Chrome OS and Google TV were announced, many Android fans have wondered how those projects would merge with Google's mobile OS. This past week at CES, Motorola provided a look into the future and revealed exactly where Google is taking their platforms.
The future of Android and mobile computing lies in the smart docks that are being created for smartphones. In the next couple of years, your smartphone will be the most powerful computer you own and smart docks will allow you to change the way you interact with it.
Want to turn you smartphone into a laptop? There's a dock for that. Want to turn it into a Google TV box, alarm clock, GPS navigation, or Chrome OS desktop? Just plug it in to the according dock.
Android, Chrome OS, and Google TV will continue to be their own projects and appear on specialized devices, but by the end of this year they will all converge on a single gadget that fits in your pocket.

Here is a list of ways to support Polymorphic Information:
- XSD Any: this used by OAGIS for the user areas in its information model download here . Xsd:any allows you to extend the contents of an XML document to contain elements not specified in the schema.
- Pros: easy, flexible
- Cons: too flexible, limited type checking, simplistic and in consequence open to abuses.
- Name / Value pairs: One of the oldest techniques used to provide variability in a data model
- Pros: easy, flexible
- Cons: still too flexible! limited type checking, simplistic and in consequence open to abuses
- XML Extensions:
If the original Account entity is defined as:
Then we can extend this definition to create a new derived SavingsAccount as follows:
Now a single service operation can be constructed that will handle all types of derived account. See http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-polymorphic/index.html for more details
- pros; well structured, validates against schema.
- cons: requires schema changes
- Characteristic Specification/Value pattern as used by the Telemanagement Forum in its NGOSS SID information model
Fully Dynamic extensibility: This patterns provides a flexible 'Characteristrics' based extension mechanism, which enables the creation of new attributes and their associated values at run time, in a more 'dynamic' manner.
It is essentially a variation of the name/value pair pattern, but in a far more sophisticated manner. The characteristics model includes entities that fully describe the new attributes, including their format, default value and constraints, making run time validation possible.
This Characteristics model is referenced from a base element (called 'EntityWithSpecification'), from which all business domain elements are derived, making them all implicitly extendable in this manner
These characteristics can then be populated at run time, and shared across multiple entities, thereby dynamically enhancing their capabilities
Dynamic extension using this pattern is often the preferred method as it is quicker, less intrusive, does not require the creation of a new schema, and will not impact any of the existing interface
* pros: Agile, flexible, Partial validation against schema,Run time validation easily feasible, No schema changes required
* cons:Strong governance required
Supporting Technologies
- XBRL: eXtensible Business Reporting Language www.xbrl.org . XBRL tags associate the concepts in the taxonomy to a piece of data, in order to facilitate the interpretation of the data. XML enables the tagging of data with identifying information, according to a classification system (or taxonomy). A taxonomy is essentially a collection of concepts, similar to a dictionary. The australian government uses this to enable businesses reporting for tax or other purposes. Many other governmental or non govermental institutions around the world use it for similar purposes.
- XLink: is a standard that enables flexible coupled links between XML parts or documents and associating metadata with those links. W3C XLink requirements http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-xlink-req/. Link to W3C XML standard http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink/ .
- SQL with XML extensions (SQL/XML) is a new section of the SQL standard covering a whole raft of XML-related extensions to SQL. It is in iterative development and was the subject of Part 14 of SQL 2003 [ISO International Standard ISO/IEC 9075-14:2003], which has since been withdrawn as work continues on SQL/XML/XQuery integration. SQL/XML was originally developed by the "SQLX Informal Group of Companies," with leadership from IBM® and Oracle, and then in committee at the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which is the standards organization in which SQL is maintained. The scope of SQL/XML encompasses (quoted from Andrew Eisenberg and Jim Melton):
- Specifications for the representation of SQL data (specifically, rows and tables of rows, as well as views and query results) in XML form, and vice versa.
- Specifications associated with mapping SQL schemata to and from XML schemata. This may include performing the mapping between existing arbitrary XML and SQL schemata.
- Specifications for the representation of SQL Schemas in XML. Specifications for the representation of SQL actions (insert, update, delete).
- Specifications for messaging for XML when used with SQL. SQL/XML is developed to be complementary to XQuery.

Silver expects to be vindicated in Lopez probe
ALBANY – Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver says he believes he will be vindicated in the controversial decision to approve a $103,000 settlement for two former staffers who say they were sexually harassed by Assemblyman Vito J. Lopez, the once-powerful Brooklyn Democrat.
The Joint Commission on Public Ethics has been investigating the matter and recently talked with Silver, the Manhattan Democrat who has led the Assembly for a generation and signed off on the confidential payments.
"I am confident that, in the end result, JCOPE will find that we acted in the best interests of the victims in good faith pursuant to the law," Silver told The Buffalo News in an interview at the Capitol on Tuesday.
Silver, who in the past said he regretted some of the ways he handled the cases against Lopez, said he welcomed the investigation.
State Republican Chairman Edward F. Cox blasted Silver's comments. "The fact that the speaker expects to be vindicated is indicative of underlying hubris regarding this blatant cover-up, using $103,000 of taxpayer money," Cox said.
Earlier, some Republicans had called for Silver to be ousted as the Assembly leader. Does he have any regrets in the matter?
"There are competing thoughts on whether things should be done in privacy to protect victims or whether things should be done in public because it's a government that we're dealing with," Silver said of the criticism he has received for signing off on the confidential payments. "There are arguments on both sides. One outweighs the other, and I think we have to come to a conclusion that may weigh on the side of public disclosure. But it's a close question."
Silver has said that all such complaints against lawmakers now will be automatically turned over to a legislative ethics committee to investigate. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo had said he believed that the ethics commission, which has a number of top former Cuomo staffers working for it, would be finished with its probe of the Lopez episode by Election Day.
Lopez overwhelmingly won re-election to his Assembly seat. Silver earlier stripped him of his longtime post as Housing Committee chairman, but Silver's secret handling of the matter has been called into question and is a part of the ethics commission investigation.
In the past, Silver defended the decision to work in secret on the Lopez deal as a way to protect the two victims, who alleged they were harassed by the assemblyman.
Silver was in Albany on Tuesday for a meeting with newly elected members of the Assembly, who will take office in January.
On other matters, Silver said in The News interview what most at the Capitol already believe to be the case: Prospects are dim for a special session before the end of the year to deal with several issues, including a legislative pay raise.
"I would say it's probably unlikely," Silver said.
"I think people are focused with the devastation of the storm and uncertainty as to the Senate leadership," he said.
Democrats and Republicans are still counting paper ballots from Election Day in a race that will decide control of the Senate.
The Assembly leader was dismissive of the possibility of a coalition-type Senate that Republicans might have put together with some Senate Democrats in order to keep power.
"I don't think it's a coalition. I think it will be pure politics," Silver said.
What does he mean by that?
"Meaning whatever offers the best to the most," he said.
A day after Cuomo put New York's total price tag from Superstorm Sandy at $42 billion, Silver said that it is still too soon to know what the impact will be on the state's finances for the remainder of this fiscal year and the new one that starts April 1. He said the true picture won't be known until sales and income tax revenue numbers come in after December.

Wearing a suede fringe beaded jacket purchased at a vintage show in Austin several months back--too cool!! I need to bust it out a few more times before it hits 1000 degrees here...which shouldn't be too long.
The lariat necklace I'm wearing is a piece we are doing for an exciting upcoming collaboration! Can't wait to share more soon!!
These Givenchy open toe boots were borrowed from my mom...I love their futuristic hooven look. The tank top is Herff Christiansen and the jeans are Madewell.

Start with home made tortillas. Cumin is good with chicken, try smoke paprika with pork, rosemary/thyme/juniper with beef. Salsa fresca. A cheese mixture of jalapeno monterrey jack, riccotta, asiagoCFP! wrote:Any spice it up renditions for tacos/burritos?
Gonna mix it up with a man roast tomorrow. Lots of root veg and garlic along side and hoping to make some nice gravy for yorkshire.
Any leamans recipes would be great too.
Crust your roast with herbs and then cook at high heat 400 to 400+. Use fennel as one of your root veggies. Push cloves of garlic into the meat.
What the hell is a leamans?
Made pizza tonight. Thin crust, a skiff of home made tomato sauce, red onions, chorizo, sun dried black olives, anchovies, shaved fennel, roasted garlic basil and fresh tomatoes. A thin scattering of cheese (asiago, edam, mozzarella). Washed down with a cheap bottle of California Zin

Hi everyone,
I have a couple problems that I need some assistance with:
1) My site was defaulting to the xampp page. To get to my website I had to use the /mysite after my IP address.
To fix this, I changed the "httpd" config file's Document Root to point to C:/xampp/htdocs/mysite instead of just C:/xampp/htdocs
However, by doing this, I now cannot access the xampp page.
How can I make mysite the default while still having access to xampp?
2) How can I restrict access to the phpmyadmin page? I've tried editing "httpd" to deny all and allow my server's IP only but this had to effect.
I used the same logic on the "httpd-xampp" file within the extra folder but then I couldn't access phpmyadmin at all. The code I used was as follows:
AllowOverride AuthConfig (I also tried All instead of AuthConfig)
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from "my ip address" (without the quotes) (I also tried localhost and 127.0.0.1 but my server was still blocked in each case).
Each time, I receive the following error: AH01630: client denied by server configuration: C:/xampp/phpmyadmin/
Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.

The wait is over. Today we know the starting price for Microsoft Surface: $499.
For those keeping score, that's the same price as Apple's newest iPad, $100 more than the iPad 2.
Is that expensive? Just right? Depends how big of a Xbox fan you are, and how much you live and breathe Microsoft Office.
Surface has some things going for it. For starters, the $499 price comes with twice as much storage as the entry-level iPad, 32 gigabytes vs. 16 gigabytes. Office, one of the most popular software suites around, comes preloaded. This amounts to a big bet on Microsoft's part that tablet buyers value Office so much that it will influence what tablet they buy. (Microsoft has almost certainly left hundreds of millions of dollars on the table — maybe more — by not releasing Office on iOS or Android.)

Our philosophy is simple, our best available rates are always available on line from the Spires website. As our rates improve the longer the stay, it would be impossible to show all permutations in a web tariff. On our check availability system on each page, select your venue and dates, and check best rate and availability for the type of apartment you prefer. Should the apartment of your choice not be available on line, do double check with us (call 0845 270 0090) as we do not always make our whole room stock available on line.
From time to time, we have special offers and deals, exclusive to the website.
So, feel confident knowing that you will always get the best available rate on line at The Spires on this website.
When you next make a booking, we guarantee that you will always receive the best possible rates providing you book directly through the hotel website, or by email, via our telephone reservation desk, or directly at the property. This is our best rate guarantee to you.
Should you find a cheaper rate displayed anywhere on line available for the intended date/s of your stay, please contact us and we will guarantee to match or even beat that rate, on a like for like basis i.e. length of stay and other stay requirements and restrictions. One of our biggest business costs is paying commissions to travel agents and third parties, especially on line, and rest assured these costs do nothing to benefit your experience, or our service provision to you.
And best rate guarantees aren't the only benefit of booking directly with us:-
- Everything for your stay the way you want it. That's because we'll will document your personal preferences and have everything ready for your arrival.

- You can contact us easily and directly at any time.
- We offer wider range of packages, offers and deals on our own website.

Dear Members and Friends,
The goal
and/or mission of our program is to establish a center with recreational programs for individuals with autism and
related disorders where innovative ideas come together to enhance the lives of
individuals and their families. To build new friendships, promote learning,
community involvement and disability awareness. Someplace where the body, mind and spirit are supported in attaining their full potential,
allowing support for the family in healing and normalizing their lives to the
highest degree possible.
The Autism & Related Disabilities Gym Program, Inc. is thriving and has achieved a non-profit status. Our account has been set up and we have started to receive donations. Eventually we would like to see enough volunteers present so that the families can have a strong support group meeting in a separate room.
With future resources we would like to enhance our existing recreation program with the following activities:
- Sponsored Swim Lessons
- Art therapy
- Open play with a coach for more structured activities
- Field trips (Disney, Sea World, Discovery Cove, Zoo, Parks, etc..)
- Therapeutic riding
- Support group meetings (weekly) Autism news presentations (latest interventions, local resources, etc...)
- Fund-raisers
- Expanded outreach
We currently hold a "Special
Night for Special Parents Dinner" in the fall, which is made possible by
the Winter
Garden Elks Lodge #2165. This event is to honor the parents of our
special kids and provide a relaxing dinner, including prizes and entertainment.
This year, we will have an end of the year pool party as well as a December
holiday party in the pool area. Our recent fund raiser, a car wash, was very
successful. Future
event information will be sent as it becomes available.
Our mailing list consists of approximately 300 families who are welcome to participate whenever possible. As always, all disabilities, all ages, and all family members are invited to attend. Although some families can only come once in a while, everyone is always welcome to join in the fun anytime! If you would like to add your name to our mailing address for either email or postal service mail, please email your name and contact information to us.
Thank you all so much and we are looking forward to a program that will grow and benefit everyone!

Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that he would consider managing Paris Saint-Germain, despite previously turning down the club's advances.
Dubbed 'the special one' during his time in the Premier League, Mourinho confessed that he was expecting a return to English football as recently as Monday, with Chelsea said to be one of the options.
However, the more recent remarks suggest he could be swayed on the French capital in a bid to win five domestic championships.
"I think being a champion in another country is a motivation for me," he told French channel BeInSport.
"I was a champion in four countries, so why not a fifth? At the moment, the PSG project is in good hands with Carlo Ancelotti and [director of football] Leonardo. So, for the moment, Paris does not need another coach."
Mourinho told CNN earlier in the week that he hoped he would not replace Sir Alex Ferguson as manager at Manchester United, and that he would face off against 'the boss' once again in the future at Old Trafford.
And, when pushed on Chelsea, he was more than happy to admit that he would consider working once again at Stamford Bridge under Roman Abramovich.
"I just say openly that, for many reasons, after this the next step will be England. When? I don't know, I don't have an idea. I'm so happy in this moment to be manager of the best club in the world," he said.
"The perfect scenario is when I go there (Manchester United) he is still coach, because football will lose a lot when he stops. For me, he is the boss. I call him the boss because he is the boss of the coaches and I hope when I go back to English football he is still manager of Manchester United."
"Of course, of course (I'd manage Chelsea again). It was a perfect example of a fantastic divorce. We are a lot in touch. We have a great relationship."
Mourinho joined the Blues from FC Porto in 2004, and went on to win two Premier League titles, two League Cups and one FA Cup. He was unable to win the Champions League, an achievement current Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo managed last season.
