There can't be just one single definition of 'digital library', as the concept has been on the move, developing, transforming since its (untraceable?) origins. That is how it is supposed to be, anyway: by digital, we want to mean available, indexable, searchable, open-ended, endless in content or possibilities or both. When referring to the history of digital libraries (some 20 years old: old enough for it to have a history of its own?), Candela, Castelli & Pagano talk about the early digital library as 'the digital counterpart of traditional libraries', which with time has been widely explored and experimented with, to then become a 'complex networked systems able to support communication and collaboration among different worldwide distributed communities'.
Evidently, a digital library must contain a managed collection. It was Valentine's Day last week, and I was amazed to find out about the Museum of London's 'online collection' of Valentines Cards—one of the quirkiest things I have ever seen. Over 1700 cards produced in London in the nineteenth century are part of the museum's permanent collection, and this digitised version of it can be confidently said to be a 'digital library': a managed collection of digitised cards, containing matadata and search/advanced search service. I live close to the Museum, been there a few times, but had never noticed these cards. Maybe I was just too distracted, or maybe this digital library provided by the museum really enabled my deeper and further access to the objects and content they hold—even to me, who can easily go there in person. Also, note that this is a digital library from the Museum of London; physical limits and disparities between libraries, museums, archives, galleries, universities all become irrelevant when they talk about their collection of documents in the digital, online realm. This is the collection of digitised paintings from The National Gallery; go ahead and download a Titian or a van Eyck. Zoom in until you see the cracks on the canvases.
But are these digital documents surrogates or simulacrums? Jeffrey Drouin dived into the word 'surrogate' and its meaning to the digital world in the book Digital Keywords: A Vocabulary of Information Society and Culture. He defines a digital version of a document as a 'surrogate in that it stands in for a print original (at least to the degree print texts may be considered originals)'; it is a 'digital edition'. On the other hand, a simulacrum, well known to those who study the arts, is defined by The Oxford English Dictionary as the image which possesses 'the form or appearance of a certain thing, without possessing its substance or proper qualities'; it is a 'mere image, a specious imitation or likeness, of something'. Drouin then concludes that a simulacrum 'fulfils the role of surrogate as a substitute deputed by authority yet lacks the true substance of that for which it stands'.
Then, again: when we digitise a painting by Titian, a nineteenth century Valentine card, or a manuscript, are we creating mere simulacrums? Drouin asks: 'Is the data output of the digital surrogate fundamentally separate from the object from which it derives?'. He beautifully calls the digital surrogate an effigy: 'the image of an original simultaneously worshipped and desecrated in the act of interpretation'. Perhaps, when digitising a document and making it available online, we are just setting free the idea of it.
'The World Wide Web is not a library'. It may have 'the scope of a comprehensive library, but it lacks a library's rules of access and privacy', Abby Smith Rumsey points out in her book When We Are No More: How Digital Memory Is Shaping Our Future. She talks about how the old paradigm of preserving the medium so to be able to preserve the message/memory/information—a manuscript, a letter, negative films—has shifted after the digital transition: we now need as much redundancy as possible, because digital data is the most fragile kind of information we have invented so far. What happens when the memory of us is all in digital data? How will and should libraries deal with a world of documents, our legacy, that is in bits and bits alone? Can we use the World Wide Web in our favour when it comes to ensuring free access to our information, as individuals and as humans?
Rumsey is optimistic:
Today, we see books as natural facts. We do not see them as memory machines with lives of their own, though that is exactly what they are. As soon as we began to print our thoughts in those hard-copy memory machines, they began circulating and pursuing their own destinies. Over time we learned how to manage them, share them, and ensure they carried humanity's conversations to future generations. We can develop the same skills to manage and take responsibility for digital memory machines so they too can outlive us.
Digitisation is not the same as transforming into data, which we could call Datafication. In Big Data: A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work and Think, Viktor Mayer-Schonberger & Kenneth Cukier draw the line between the two: while the digitised page of a book, for example, is an image 'that only humans could transform into useful information by reading', the further datafied version of it would be 'usable not just for human readers, but also for computers to process and algorithms to analyze', turning text into 'indexable and thus searchable' information.
Google has used both the digitised and datafied versions of the millions of books it scanned as part of its Google Books project. The digitised versions of the books, mutilated because of copyright rules, build up the digital library that Google Books is; the datafied versions, fully available for Google only, can be partly used through Google Ngram—'When you enter phrases into the Google Books Ngram Viewer, it displays a graph showing how those phrases have occurred in a corpus of books over the selected years'. I've tried searching for the terms 'women' and 'men' in books in English between 1800 and 2000. The results for terms are usually quite interesting, but you really have to take your time and hard thought to be able to get anything out of it, to get to real conclusions, valuable, usable information.
It makes you think of what kind of incredibly large and powerful computer is needed to be able to go through millions of digitised and datafied images and come up with these kind and amount of data. It makes you think of magic, but magic is actually just illusion, after all—the illusion of a real world entirely readable through science.

Now that that is out of the way:
-Texan voter turnout is well bellow the national average for Presidential, off year, and Primary elections. In 2012: 53.6% turned out nationally v. only 43.7% in Texas. Over the last four decades Texas has a voter turnout of of 47.6% in 1992. The high turnout of Texas is still lower than the national low of 49.1% (in presidential years only) in 1996.
-Texas has a rapidly growing Hispanic population. Non-Hispanic whites are now represent a minority in comparison to all other races put together. As of 2011. Hispanics represented 38.1% of the state's population.
-The key to Democrats winning back Texas will be:
1. Wait out the demographic shit until Hispanics represent an even larger portion of the electorate.
2. Expand the lead over Republicans in Hispanic voting to match national levels.
3. Turn out Hispanic voters in much larger numbers.
4. Expand voter turnout overall.
Julian Castro, at the moment, represents the Democrats best chance of turning Texas blue over the next decade.

This is South America v Asia. This is 1930 and 1950 World Cup winners against 2002 Semi-finalist. This is 2.5 million people v 52 million. La Celeste v Taeguk Warriors.
Uruguay and South Korea have only ever played each other once at a World Cup. This was at the group stage in 1990. Uruguay won 1-0 in the last minute and qualified for the round of 16, South Korea went home without registering a point. They have played each other five times in total - Uruguay have won 4 times and they have drawn once. South Korea have never beaten a South American side at a World Cup.
Uruguay will be desperate to make their first quarter-finals since 1970 and are in the knock-out stages for the first time since 1990. South Korea will want to write a new chapter in their history having only been past the group stage once before (2002). Both will be buoyed, knowing that should they win, their quarter-final clash will be against USA or Ghana, neither one of the so-called bigger nations.
Form Guide over their last 5 games: Uruguay are unbeaten with 4 wins and a draw. South Korea have recorded a win, a draw and three losses. At this World Cup Uruguay are yet to concede a goal, scoring 4 times. South Korea have scored 5 and conceded 6.
Who is the favourite? Uruguay probably go in as favourites but this is finals football: form can go right out of the window. Forlan and Park Ji-Sung could be the keys to victories for their respective sides.
Who will reign supreme? It will be an interesting clash of styles, and naturally I'm really looking forward to the game.

Disability Scoop states it costs about $17,081 per year to raise a child with autism. What does that cover? Therapies and clothes? Scoop goes on to say it costs about $3000 a year more than rasising other children!
That is the news. Bang on the bucks? I doubt that. I would quibble with the math a little. What does it cost in $'s related to one parents quitting his or her job? Don't think this is about the injustice of being a mom of a child that is almost a man now.
I quit my job almost. I went part time so I could stay at home more with my son when he was younger. Although, there was one diagnosis of Autism at age 20 months; others wanted to hold out and forego labels and labeling. Why? The treatment would be the same. The costs the same because I wasn't on Medicaid of Oklahoma at the time. My husbnand and I had both worked very hard. Had we been irresonsible and not planned, became pregnant without a father and repeated this behavior; Medicaidd most likely would be my insurance. A mother on Medicaid often gets all of the insurance theapries paid for that private insurance doesn't cover.
I am going to catch a lot of grief because of this. Why do we create such a culutre? I am sorry if regular insurance doesn't pay then Medicaid should not have paid. I paid for more children's payments of therapies than I could pay for my son's personally by working and paying taxes.
Sorry that isn't fair. Why I am on this subject. Only a specific number of children should be paid for by Oklahoma Medicaid. A woman that keeps having children past that point should be responsible for all the health insurance costs. Why not?!!
Is life fair? No. But then we need to cut some costs. Make people aware of the choices they make. My son having autism is not the issue. My personal costs should not be that and every body elses that can't take care of their kids. If that is the problem there should be a limiit. Then the invisible costs of raising children with autism will be less of a $ burden; heaertache burden and more.
I worked so others could stary at home on their ass. I will not back down on this. These scars flair up and when costs com up I think of this. Why I had to make these choices but a mother that has had too many chilldren she can't afford had nothing to think about when it came to getting the best care for her child.
Invisible costs are those that stick with people. Divocrces, fights and other stress that arose becasuse of the lack of ability to care for a child of any kind; autism or developmental delay. There are majical words that send set me on fire still.
I am sorry. I am only looking at equality in the terms of what should be. People that can't have children but have them should get a one time hand out . This would allow for those with autism and other areas to get the need they do. We still end up giving the poorest the most. I am tired of hearing this. It is bad to be this way or say these things.
It is being a grown up. I made my decisions. Let's make the hard decisions that need to be made.
If a person had a kid and can't afford it. Adoption is out there for this reason. I give plenty to charity. Color is not an issues in this realm. Stupidity on having children one can't aford go across the spectrum.
Count what we spend on this. Only offer ia set amount to families that have children from now on and the cost will go down on raising any child with a disability.

Mark Bruns thinks this is interesting:
But the blockchain concept is even more; it is a new organizing paradigm for the discovery, valuation, and transfer of all quanta (discrete units) of anything, and potentially for the coordination of all human activity at a much larger scale than has been possible before.
- Preface
- from Blockchain
- Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc.
- Released: February 2015
Blockchain technology applies however you want to define the notion of ~currency~ ... as something that is used as a medium of exchange; money ... as something that generally accepted; prevalence; vogue ... the period or mechanics of the process during which something is widely accepted and circulated ... the quality of being widely accepted and circulated from person to person ... something of value in circulation between others who hold it as a store of value, as of coin.

Advisor Issues
Learning Objectives
- Learn what good advising is and what your advisor's role is.
"The men in my program consistently receive all of the challenging projects that lead to promising opportunities. It's as if my own advisor doesn't believe I — as a woman — can handle more."
"My advisor's expectations are usually so ambiguous — if not virtually unattainable — that I often wonder if I'll ever get through this program."
"Throughout my pregnancy, my faculty advisor was not at all supportive of my desire to take some time off. I felt as if I was jeopardizing my education and future career by trying to tend to my new family."
"I'm treated more like a wife or an assistant than a colleague or even an advisee, being asked to run countless personal errands and chauffeur him around."
"How am I supposed to learn to be an independent scholar, when all of my time and work is spent on my advisor's projects?"
"My advisor treats me more formally than his male advisees, and perhaps it would even be inappropriate if he and I were to socialize more casually like he does with my male colleagues. However, I feel like I'm missing out on opportunities because of this."
What is Good Advising Anyway?
Which of the following is the most important to consider in your relationship with your advisor?
The best answer is "c." While prestige (answer "a") and expertise (answer "b") are definitely important in a advisor-advisee dynamic, they will not lead to much if your advisor chooses not to share or to include you. Similarly, while it is important to continually build up your own professional network (answer "c"), whether or not your advisor helps you in this regard is beyond your control. The degree of fit between you and your advisor (answer "c"), however, is vital. Having a strong alliance and being on the same page can help you immensely, both in the short and long runs.
It's important to have standards with your advisor and your advising relationship just like you'd have for your academic work. If your needs are not being met, chances are that you will feel unsupported or frustrated. It's good to recognize when there's a mismatch of what you want and what you're getting so you can make the necessary adjustments. There are ways to address these issues, as awkward or impossible as they may seem.
|What You Want in an Advisor is a module that reviews official and unofficial advisory roles as well as how to assess your advisor's strengths and areas of improvement.
The Stats: Women's Experiences with Advisors
- While these discouragers may often be experienced by students independent of their gender, women report lower satisfaction with advisors than men.1,2,3
- Women more often than men report that their relationships with advisors are more formal, distant, and less collegial.4
- The pervasiveness of these problems is profound, especially considering the far-reaching implications of a negative working relationship with an advisor.
The Importance of the Advisor/Advisee Relationship
- Your advisor's role is multifaceted and changes over time. He or she often serves as your primary guide to:
- the academic program
- the dissertation process
- research and professional opportunities
- the discipline at large
- A negative relationship with your advisor understandably may present many roadblocks on the path to finishing your doctorate.
- The advising relationship has the potential to impact many aspects of the graduate experience, particularly for women. Of women who finished their degrees late, three times as many reported receiving poor advising, as compared to those who finished early; twice as many late-finishers reported that faculty actually thwarted their degree completion, whereas many early-finishers expressed that faculty facilitated their progress.5
- A positive relationship with an advisor is a strong predictor of productivity and completion of the doctoral degree, whereas problematic advising relationships are associated with longer degree completion times.1,6
Ways to Form Positive Alliances
In summary, forging a positive alliance with a graduate advisor often may be challenging and frustrating particularly for women, who as a group receive less attention, fewer resources, and experience other forms of subtle or overt discrimination in science and engineering graduate programs. Throughout the CareerWISE Web site, strategies are suggested for developing and sustaining positive working relationships with your advisor.

Hello there, my name is Bambi and I'm 5 years old. I'm here at the Pet Rescue Center with my brother Buddy and we decided that we have to stay together. You see, Buddy and I are siblings and BFF's and I don't know what I'd do without him. We've been together all our lives, but, sadly, our owners could no longer keep us. We know how hard it was for them to give us up because they loved us so much and we were such good doggies for them. But on the bright side, we're glad we're still together. Everyone here has been so kind to us and we show our appreciation and affection willingly and lovingly–we're real people dogs! Not only are we cuddle bunnies, but we also like to run and play with each other. So, if you are looking for a really nice pair of doggies, please visit us and think about taking us home. We both keep wishing on that special star to make our dream come true! Are you that special person? We sure hope so! Keep saying to yourself, 'Double your pleasure…double your fun'.

JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's president plans this week to name a new finance minister to oversee Southeast Asia's largest economy, acting finance minister Hatta Rajasa said on Monday, with Investment Chief Chatib Basri seen as the leading contender.
However, Basri declined to say if he would be appointed the next finance minister, telling Reuters "let's wait for the announcement from the president."
If confirmed, the 47-year-old would replace Rajasa after less than a month at the helm.
Rajasa took on the acting role after President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's surprise decision in February to nominate then-finance minister, Agus Martowardojo, as the sole candidate to head the central bank. Bank Indonesia Governor Darmin Nasution's five-year term ends on May 22.
If appointed, one of Basri's first major challenges would be how to soften the impact of fuel subsidies which have driven a hole in the budget. So far the government has dithered at major changes, fearful of adding to inflation and nervous of the social tension an increase could trigger.
Basri, who has a doctorate in economics, served as special adviser to former finance minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati before becoming Indonesia's investment chief in October 2011.
He has also served on the regional advisory board of Toyota Motor Asia, independent commissioner for PT Astra International, cement producer PT Semen Indonesia and coal producer PT Indika Energy.

THE expanded Batoka Gorge power plant is expected to ease pressure on the Kariba Hydro-electric Power Station mainly during winter seasons, with its projected capacity to generate 2 400 megawatts (MW).
By Nokuthaba Dlamini
The shared project between Zimbabwe and Zambia is located on the Zambezi River about 54km downstream of Victoria Falls and upstream of the existing Kariba Dam.
The project, which was approved by the two countries in the 1990s, will produce 2 400MW of electricity and create about 3 000 jobs during the peak of construction work.
Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) chief executive, Munyaradzi Munodawafa told a visiting delegation of Zimbabwean and Zambian legislators on Wednesday that construction will begin next year subject to the availability of funds.
"We have done all the implementation plans and preparatory activities and what is needed is for us to acquire funding. Our budget is $4,5 billion for now and we are optimistic that we will finish by 2021 and that includes construction of a dam, hydro power plant and transmitters," he said.
Munodawafa said the Batoka Gorge was meant to work hand-in-hand with Kariba Dam, so that the two dams can supply energy regionally.
"This power station will be used mainly to relieve Kariba Hydro Power Station, which is normally constrained when water levels are too low," he said.
"Zambezi River peaks during winter, that is May, June and July, and that's when we will maximise its capacity. The river, at that time, flows at 20 000 cubic meters per second and that is a very huge advantage for us because it will be allowing Kariba to increase capacity."
Munodawafa said a feasibility study had been done and submitted to environmentalists for assessment.
"We have compiled a document with all the planning to do with environmental-social impact, climate change, among all the factors, and the document has been submitted to environmentalists for assessment," he said.
"We hear that there is a certain falcon that breeds in the river and those are things we need to consider, because it is an offence to destroy our flora and fauna."
Munodawafa said some villagers along the dam's proposed catchment area were going to be displaced by the project.
"People that are going to be affected are villagers in Gokwe North, Binga, Hurungwe and Kariba and in Zambia, it will be Sinazongwe and Siavonga, but plans are there for them in terms of resettlement," he said.
Engineers say the gorge will consist of an 181-metre roller compacted-concrete gravity arch dam wall that impounds a reservoir with a catchment area of 508 000km2.

What good is a belief if it does not
benefit your life?(Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, 1862)
We offer online services and professional training on resolvingrelationship problems,
self-sabotage and psychosomatic disease.
The Quimby Connection Training
About the time of the American Revolution, there was in Paris
a Swiss physician from Vienna by the name of Dr Anton Mesmer. Dr Mesmer was
the sensation and scandal of his day, for he cured all manner of disease by
strange and unorthodox methods. Although later denounced by a team of
scientists (that included Benjamin Franklin), Dr Mesmer's teachings and methods
drew many students, some of whom presented performances of mesmerism. Around
1830, a clock-maker from Portland, Maine attended such a performance,
became a mesmerist and later the most well known mental healer
in America. His name was Phineas Parkhurst Quimby.
After developing his science of healing, Phineas
Quimby was credited for healing about a thousand people a year for
around fifteen years. Phineas Quimby died in 1866, after documenting
his opinions, beliefs and techniques in his manuscripts.
Quimby wrote that his science of healing was opposed
to both religion and medicine, which he perceived as the main sources
of wrong beliefs which caused disease. Quimby proposed a Christianity
aligned with his healing science.
In 1863, Quimby loaned his unpublished manuscripts to
a patient, Mary Patterson, who would not return them. Mary Patterson
later married twice, to become Mary Baker and then Mary Baker Eddy,
known for founding the Christian Science healing church. After a
long and bitter controversy, Mary Baker Eddy's family returned Quimby's
manuscripts to Quimby's family, and in 1921 'The Quimby Manuscripts'
was finally published.
Quimby described a philosophy of healing, using spiritual
metaphors. In the following extract, Quimby uses a metaphor of daguerreotypes
for what is now called the unconscious mind. (Quimby worked with daguerreotypes
as a youth, you may have seen these early photographs in museums - pictures on copper
plates sensitized with chemicals). Here, writing in the third person, Quimby
speaks for himself:
"A patient comes in to
see Dr Quimby. He (Dr Quimby) renders himself absent to everything but
the impression of the patient's feelings. These are quickly
daguerreotyped on him. They contain no intelligence, but shadow forth a
reflection of themselves which he looks at: this contains the disease as it
appears to the patient. Being confident that it is the shadow of a false
idea, he is not afraid of it, but laughs at it. Then his feelings in
regard to the disease, which are health and strength, are daguerreotyped on
the receptive-plate of the patient, which also throws forth a shadow.
The patient, seeing this shadow of the disease in a new light, gains
confidence. This change of feeling is daguerreotyped on the doctor
again, and this [new impression] also throws forth a shadow, and he sees the
change and continues to treat it the same way. So the patient's feelings
sympathize with his, the shadow grows dim, and finally light takes its place,
and there is nothing left of the disease."
The essence of this method, Quimby implies, is to feel
a person's disease, create an image that
represents the person's beliefs about it, and change the image,
repeating this until the patient changes their beliefs about their disease.
Quimby was credited with healing thousands of people with this
method - which he called the Silent Cure.
If you want to test this method, note that rapport with
sick people can cause you to experience their symptoms. I suggest that you
first find resources for your own good health, and that you have a
baby-sitter (oops, I mean coach) with you. Quimby used a resource
that he called the Principle of
Goodness and a number of important presuppositions as guides.
Perhaps the most useful of Quimby's presuppositions is that "people can heal
themselves, if they have both motivation and means".
Quimby wrote that 70% of disease was caused by wrong beliefs.
I asked some physicians about their experience and was told that at least 50% of their
patients had disease that was either lifestyle-based or that was worsened by their
patients expectations. In this light, helping people change their beliefs about
disease is as important (and as ignored) now as it was in Quimby's time.
I used Quimby's descriptions to produce an interesting
strategy for changing beliefs (before I understood how people cling to limiting
beliefs to maintain important relationships). The
following is a brief summary of a part of Quimby's work.
Ask if this person wants healthy beliefs to support a
healthy life.
Ask person to identify the benefits of a disease
and how to keep them.
Ask person to recall resourceful memories of good health, strength and laughter.
Help person identify their limiting beliefs about their disease.
Help person decide what he or she wants to believe instead.
Ask person to describe both old and new beliefs as symbols.
Test person's new beliefs about their disease or
life situation.
I explored Quimby's methods around 1990, and found that my interpretations
of Quimby's methods produced useful and simple methods for coaching people to
change terrible limiting beliefs. Around 1994
I worked with Annegret Meyer (now Annegret Hallanzy), a family therapist
near Munich, Germany) to integrate Quimby's ideas into an overall model for effective
long term change, which I called Soulwork Systemic
You asked me what I believed about my
disease - and what those beliefs looked like. You kept talking for a few minutes
and suddenly I could not remember what my
beliefs were. I still don't know days later, and some of my disease symptoms seem
to be fading. New Thought Church, Kailua Hawaii
I found The Quimby Manuscripts (1921) difficult to read.
The editor, Horatio Dresser, was trained by Quimby, yet he wrote "He
(Quimby) could not express his thoughts clearly. One searches the manuscripts
in vain for a clear explanation of the silent cure". However, the
explanations are there. Expert Modeling provided a Rosetta stone with which
to model and test them.
While many passages in The Quimby Manuscripts may
appeal to helping professionals, I found Quimby's only prediction to be
I prophesy that the time will come
when men and women shall heal all diseases
with the words of their
mouth ... Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, 1860
Note: 2002. Since 1994 I have researched solutions for relationship problems
and developed a more
effective methodology. Quimby's work was state of the art 150
years ago,
through his manuscripts, Quimby can still help us understand
how changing beliefs can
support health.
I would like to be healthy - but not
if it means changing my (religious) beliefs. I would rather die.Heard from clients ...
Beliefs are Relationship Bonds .
Bonded Relationships
As strong relationship consequences can follow changing
limiting beliefs - we are careful to protect
relationships that require limiting beliefs. Many people stay in
professions, religions, difficult marriages, and so on, because they believe
something unpleasant will
happen if they leave.
I thought you were just
another therapist - but you were not just. Not even. Not only.

Just let her die!
Harvey isn't screwing around anymore! If you vote over at Top Web Comics, you can see that panel with the hair as just inks, so you can see the detail. I like drawing hair :).
Soooo, obviously not everyone is really on board with this plan yet. In general. Aubrey, as the one who faces the brunt of Connie's bullshit, knows better than anyone how screwed they really are. (Fun side note, the point when someone leaves their abuser is statistically the most dangerous point of the relationship! That, and pregnancy. Horrifying.) Anyway, don't worry because even Aubrey isn't going to be down for putting up with this much shit for too much longer. Just like in real life, actions have to be motivated by a desire for change and can't be forced. These guys are still too scared to stand up against Connie in any real capacity, so they're stuck doing what she says for the meantime.
I've made mention of it before, but I'm basing the dynamics of this pack on real life abusive relationships. Connie is 100% based on the typical person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The only difference really is that with Ginger as the golden child, usually she'd side with Connie, but I thought the wolf pack mentality would override her interest in special treatment. Aubrey is the scapegoat, and gets manipulated the hardest by Connie. If you've never dealt with someone with NPD, well…good for you.
In very exciting life news, my hardwood floors are in! Yay! Or at least in the half of the house that's currently being worked on. My house has been under renovation since I was…born, I guess. I've never lived here and had floors that are all one level! So many rooms have just been the old school plank subfloors that I'm used to it. But now, I could have a Roomba if I wanted. It could actually move around and not get trapped every other room. The novelty isn't wearing off anytime soon. I did solid oak floors to match the hardwood I already had in other parts of the house, but I went for wood that's considered…waste? Cast offs? They're the shorter chunks of hardwood that aren't acceptable to sell in stores, because of holes and knots and color variation, etc. I think they look great, though. I'll post a photo on twitter at some point. Hardwood shorts aren't super desirable, but that's what's in the other parts of my house. Given the pre-Victorian style of the rest of my house, I wanted something that looked a little utilitarian and kind of imperfect, and this works perfectly.
Anyway, I'm off to get my teeth cleaned! Gotta bolt :).

If you'd like to provide updated information and do not have access to directly edit, please contact the site admin; thanks!
Have you ever edited any of the plugins you have installed? If so, then rvm_plugin_diff is meant for you.
This plugin helps you do the following:
- Find the changes you made (color diff, inspired by dev.textpattern.com).
- Download the changes in unified diff format (a patch which can be sent to the plugin developer).
- View the plugin code with line numbers at the beginning of each line, so you can find errors easier.
The goal of this plugin is to make it easier to feed back bugfixes to the original authors of plugins. It's often easy to fix a bug, but I found it hard to find what exactly I had changed afterwards (having edited around half the plugins in use at textpattern.org), so I had some fun writing this plugin and learned a lot about how (unified) diff and patch works.
Note: the patches this plugin creates, use UNIX-style line endings. If the original code was developed on a different platform, you may have to convert the line endings before applying the patch.
You may want to leave your comments/questions at the Forum thread for quicker feedback. Otherwise, comment away:

This isn't a problem for the cache, as the cached content is passed as a single FILE bucket. When an upstream filter reads from the file bucket, the bucket "morphs" into a RAM resident HEAP bucket, followed by a file bucket representing the rest of the file. As long as a filter deletes each (heap) bucket as it reads it, we don't have memory issues. This is no different to the default handler serving a static file. For special needs, an implementation can define it's own bucket types which behave specially when read. Regards, Graham --

Campaign Date: Zahal 68, 101 F.I.
Starting Point: Belltower
Player Characters Present: Captain Miraj, Chuchann, Lady Somara, Osley Riverrock
Some weeks after the successful completion of their previous adventure, Headmaster Kajetan called our three mighty heroes (Chuchann, Lady Somara and Osley Riverrock) to his side and tasked them with another great errand.
After weeks of study of the mysterious gear they'd uncovered beneath the ruins of Maz Immura, Kajetan sought to confirm some of his findings with a colleague of his, Lady Magus Tormála – eladrin wizard and mayor of the nearby town of Kirish Dahn. Believing the gear to be too valuable to be left unguarded, he intended to smuggle the gear aboard a local merchant cart and hire the heroes to accompany it. To further safeguard the gear's travels to Kirish Dahn, Kajetan managed to convince the head of the local campus security, a grim and gruff tiefling captain, to join the adventuring party.
Traveling unmolested over the Ironshod Hills proved too mean a feat, however. Not long into their two-day journey, the cart was beset by goblin raiders of the Weepingeye Tribe. Defeating the goblins and their trained blood ape out of hand, our heroes skillfully tracked an odd couple of bugbears back toward the goblin's cave.
Inside the cave, the heroes discovered, among throngs of enemy goblins, a vile and hellish crack split open upon the cave floor, more and more goblins continually pouring out of it. After a harrowingly close call with Captain Miraj and a tumble down the goblin-infested crack, Kajetan's Keepers managed to defeat the vile goblin hexer and plug the widening crack with the use of great stone boulders.
The goblins routed, the remainder of the trek to Kirish Dahn was uneventful. Upon arrival, Lady Magus Tormála greeted the party warmly, allowing them several days to recuperate within her tower before returning to Belltower.

Keynote & Motivational
Building on your business success and developing new corporate strategies requires a combination of skills – foresight in planning, knowing when to make the right move, skilful application of experience and knowledge, and leadership and team spirit. The glue that binds all of these factors is motivation.
While each company knows its own business best, it's certainly true in our experience that even in the rarefied atmosphere of the highest business environments, much long-term benefit derives from hiring a Motivational Speaker. There are a wide variety to choose from when booking through Prime Performers, and many of these have certainly experienced rarefied atmospheres – literally!
Some of our Motivational Speakers have scaled the highest geographic points in the world, while others have gained their ultimate achievement in other ways – scoring goals that they now transfer to the business environment. Many have overcome adversity, or pushed themselves to the limit through shear determination, and have won – and shone – through as a result, and are ready to explain why their motivational success can be yours.

On Sunday, midfielder Haris Hajradinovic of Norwegian side Haugesund conceded a penalty after an absent-minded challenge in the box during a game against Stromsgodset. Keepers bark at their defenders any time they have to even come off of their line, so it follows that Haugesund keeper Per Kristian Bratveit gave Hajradinovic an earful.
Only Harjradinovic is a grown man and wasn't going to let Bratveit just talk to him any kind of way:

So Harjradinovic was sent off for mushing his own teammate. And to heap insult on top of injury, Bratveit actually saved the ensuing penalty. Haugesund still fell 2-0 in the end. Watch the full clip below.

Path of Exile Announces Its Newest Race Event, Descent League
Path of Exile, the online RPG from Grinding Gears Games, has just announced their third season of race events. This season will include a new Signature Event called the Descent League, which has been described in an official press release:
Offering a completely new scenario from the core Path of Exile plot, the Descent league places players at the outskirts of the Phrecian Forest with the objective to search out and explore a forgotten cathedral. As participants descend into its depths and explore its vast dungeons, they will encounter various combinations of monsters and bosses from all areas of the game.
Concluding each Descent level is a pair of special chests, which contain distinct sets of predetermined items to help players specialize their character builds. However, only one chest may be chosen per level, and choices made can drastically alter how the event is played.
To truly challenge players, Descent League has no travel portals, waypoints, or towns to return to when the battle wages too fierce. These are solo events, so you won't be getting by with a little help from your friends, and your flask charges can only be restored by slaying baddies.
So learn from your mistakes, and persevere through the adversity that will surely be thrown your way. Only the strong shall prevail.
Season 3 begins on June 29. It will run for six weeks and include about fifty Descent Events for players to partake in.

Famed and remarkably prolific British photographer Martin Parr (b. 1952) is celebrated as one of the great chroniclers of the contradictions and absurdities of life and leisure in the age of late capitalism. Balancing a wry anthropological detachment with a brilliant artistic spontaneity and penchant for extreme color and close-up, Parr's imagery of the everyday life brilliantly confounds the categories of art photography and journalism. While constant attention has been paid to Parr's major photo projects, especially his studies of rural England such as The Last Resort and The Cost of Living, scant attention has been given to Parr's work as an occasional documentary filmmaker whose films reveal his trained eye to be equally astute and insightful with the moving image as his iconic still photography. Offering a rare chance to view Parr's documentary work, this program brings together two of Parr's films—Think of England, his millennial made-for-BBC reflection on national identity and Britishness, and his latest film, Turkey and Tinsel, a deadpan and often hilarious observational documentary about Christmas in small town England.
We are thrilled to welcome Martin Parr to the Harvard Film Archive for a conversation about his filmmaking with renowned photographer and VES Professor Chris Killip. – Haden Guest
Martin Parr wil also join Paul Larosa in a conversation about The Photobook: A History, Volume III at 3pm on Saturday October 25 in the theater, followed by a book signing.
