Every time I make and offer my child my AWESOME fudgy delixous bananna muffins my little girl says you mean *pumpkin* muffins?
Is she trying to tell me something?
My husband bought me a gigantic can of pumpkin, far exceeding expectations. Alas, I haven't been able to grow a single pumpkin in my gardens, EVER.
Vegan with a Vengeance has a to die for pumpkin muffin.
Vegan Cupcakes take Over the World has a pumpkin chocolate chip cupcake recipe I haven't had a chance to try yet.
So baby and I are off to see the pumpkin wizard. If I– okay if we– make 'em she better damn well eat 'em.
As we were leaving DC last week we were listening to the testimony of Edward Liddy, who came out of retirement to try to get AIG back on track– manage all that bailout money– for no pay. He sounded like a decent guy to me. Here are the three thoughts that occurred to me as he talked about those bonuses.
1. they were an infinitesimal percentage of the total bailout package– getting them back isn't even a drop in the bucket.
2. Legacy knowledge is an all important form of capital. you lose productivity big time when you lose the folks who saw it go down before the shit hit the fan. you lose productivity big time when you lose folks ever. retaining staff is so important to the wellbeing of any company. provided they are honest and have true honest professional intent. Only a very very small group amongst AIG's vast divisions is responsible for this mess. The many honest people who were there before are the best ones to pick up the pieces and bring the company back.
3. We, the American people, are a bunch of sheep. Know what a derivative is? That's what caused this mess. If we– the working or middle class with decent careers, decent homes, our health or at least health insurance, and decent opportunities for education– whether in school or through self education and lifelong learning– willfully choose ignorance about how our economy works, we deserve what we get.
Come on. This is f-ing ridiculous. All this mess comes from our acquiescence to the huge pyramid scheme that is our economy. As long as we are scraping by okay, screw the rest, right?
We don't teach our children about debt and compound interest rates (whether in our favor or racking up on our credit card debt). Every child should know how our economy works and how personal finance works.
I have a dear little colleague, a very sincere financial advisor. She is urging folks to attend the latest Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University. My husband and I used Dave to crawl out of I don't want to tell you how much debt, accrued through years of near constant life change and increasing salaries.
But here's the thing. I love Dave. LOVE HIM. But if we all adhered to his principles, paid cash and lived within our means our economy would collapse! I said as much to my friend and she said yeah… yeah that's true.
It is in banks' and lenders' best interest that we little people should live outside our means, not understand the consequences, and fail– or at least fail just enough that they can levy insane finance charges and ruin our lives.
That whole 'derivatives' thing… I heard it explained and defined on Marketplace on NPR, though i cant quite tell you now what the lady said. See what I mean?
So we go on. we fail to pay our bills or invest poorly– we pick up the pieces, if we are lucky enough to have pieces. We can't get a car loan. Financial giants like Enron or AIG make it look so easy — and when they screw up–no worries! The government will bail us out! Oops, sorry about all those retirement investments that weren't even there.
But the bottom line is, our economy is at any and all times a bubble ready to burst. This has got to stop. Corporations, lenders and elected officials have us all by the short hairs. We are too scared to say no, afraid to rock the boat– and refuse to give up the giant houses (like mine) with the insane heat and cooling costs. And we refuse to educate ourselves about what, personally, locally and nationally, would provide us personal and national security. We let our finances, our food, shelter, health, happen to us.
STOP it! Get educated– the economy, local agriculture, local energy, renewable energy, walkable and sustainable communities. Think about how it affects your family, your community– yes, I am asking you to look at the big picture, at what would be good for human beings and families across town and around the globe– and our national security– or you get what you get.
I haven't thought much about this– the minefield we walk between simply nurturing our bodies and souls and taking pride in our own unique loveliness and style regardless of size age or anything else– and a self-loathing that makes us think we're ugly unless all of our artifices are in place and our miserable self denial is complete– since high school.
The exception is that I get really, really pissed when women say 'I'm so fat.' That's only because I'm a rabid feminist and I am SO SICK of guys (and, sadly, other women) who judge women on first look– I'd do her, or pretty face, great personality, too bad she's fat, or oh MAN is she fat!' (You know who you are). I'm not anti anorexia, cocaine, amphetamines or cigarettes as weightloss methods, at least not at the appropriate time/life stage. (I'll save that for another post).
But A. Someone else's body is NOT your damn business. and B. Sure, we all need to exercise and eat right. We're a nation privileged to be eating ourselves to death, and the emotional psychological and spiritual issues surrounding that make my heart ache.
But it really pisses me off when women say 'I'm so fat' and don't see how beautiful they are JUST AS THEY ARE. The ability to see how beautiful you are just as you are comes from the same emotional and psychological region as the strength to take better care of oneself, eating right and exercising and enjoying instead of loathing one's body, sadly. And so it's a vicious cycle. The only other place meaningful change comes from, sadly, is self loathing, and if you reject that or your eyes just never get opened, you're just screwed.
With regard to all this, I was in a blissful place. I was a little overweight but still a couple pounds below obese (a couple pounds is EVERYTHING, believe me), the US average size 12-14. I had the best (hair) dye job in the world, black with a few white stripes– and often I wore black eyeliner and mascara cause I'm aging gothpunkabillly.
But just as often especially after I had my little one makeup went by the wayside. Most of my girlfriends never wore makeup. We're all hippie mommies. I have one friend who's a stunner even though her kids wear her out, whether she wears makeup or not (all of us know who she is except, probably, she herself), but she worked at department store makeup counters for a while and knows what she's doing, so she doesn't count.
I don't think I knew it, but I was always searching… and then I found her.
She didn't know I found her. Heck, I didn't know I found her.
I met this exotically beautiful new friend and as I got to know her a little at a time– lots, and lots of black, skulls, sense of style, joy each year as Halloween comes back around and we can actually wear the clothes we wear all year without people looking at us funny, punk bands and financial struggle all through the 80's and 90's (financial struggle for me too, and how!), waited til older to have babies and marry just like me, good liberal from generations back just like me.
But she had something I didn't.
My mother, my grandmothers– classy dames who don't go out of the house without moisturizer, a little puff of powder, a little something around the eyes and a bit of lipstick at minimum. I wanted to be like that. I really did. But I wasn't. I just couldn't.
But this new friend?
Well let me put it this way.
She had her second C section a couple of years ago. Before she went in, she told her husband she would have a pedicure OR ELSE. I mean, her toes were going to be exposed for everyone to see in the OR, right? Come ON!
Then, post C, she suddenly found herself being rushed to the OR a second time, her husband and mother shooed away as they worked frantically on her to keep her from suddenly bleeding to death. If the bleeding weren't enough, she was nearly scared to death, too. I talked to her not long after, and she was deeply frightened and a little pissed off.
A few hours later, another friend of ours stopped in to see her and the baby and wish them well. M said, I walked in and she was curling her eyelashes.
She nearly bled to death a few hours ago. And now she was curling her eyelashes.
This was a defining moment for me. The words beautiful and tough took on new meaning for me simultaneously, and if I didn't already think she was the bees knees, this would have pushed me over the edge.
I asked my friend's permission before writing this. She said, well hell, if you're going to die, don't you want to look good all laid out?
And me? I was newly vegan and using little on my face besides some sort of expensive pure oil– grapeseed oil. Sesame oil. It was cleanser and moisturizer in one, face and body. The only spots that got soap were my armpits and, well, possible (as our grannies used to say, wash as far as possible, and then wash possible). I wore no sunscreen, EVER. I consider myself to be of a dark skinned heritage that just doesn't need it. I refused to wear or buy makeup until I had the time to research vegan and cruelty free options, and I never seemed to have the time. So I went without.
But the knowledge nagged at me… something was missing.
To be continued…

Hedonism in the Hills. Running time: 103 minutes. Rated R (sexuality, language and drug use.) At the Union Square, the Lincoln Plaza and the First and 62nd Street.
IN Lisa Cholodenko's astute and absorbing "Laurel Canyon," Frances McDormand polishes up yet another facet of her glittering talent playing a foxy, hedonistic L.A. mama who could be the bad-girl twin sister of her strait-laced "Almost Famous" matron.
Anchoring an excellent ensemble cast, McDormand lets it all hang out as veteran record producer Jane, a woman who spurns bras, makeup and moral constraints.
She's holed up in the Bohemian enclave of Laurel Canyon, high in the Hollywood Hills, trying to muster up a hit single from a scampy British band, while carrying on an affair with the band's lead singer, Ian (Alessandro Nivola), who's 16 years her junior.
When two naively conservative characters enter this free-wheeling den of iniquity, the scene is set for a dramatic lifestyle clash – but writer-director Cholodenko ("High Art") takes the scenario beyond cliché by creating a raft of fully fledged characters and giving the tale a generational twist.
The couple consists of Jane's buttoned-up son Sam (Christian Bale) and his prim fiancée, Alex (Kate Beckinsale), two Harvard graduates who have moved to the West Coast to continue their studies – he's interning in psychiatry at a nearby hospital and she's finishing her doctoral dissertation on dorsophila genomics (an obscure, pointy-headed subject conjured up to hammer home just how painfully smart she is).
While Sam spends his days at the hospital, dealing with the mentally disturbed and being blatantly seduced by co-resident Sara (Natascha McElhone), Alex is lured from her studious aerie by the siren song of hedonism.
She takes a walk on the wild side and finds it to her liking; soon, she is smoking dope with the band, reading Spin and donning a worn AC/DC T-shirt that seems to make the rounds.
By the time Alex is dipping into steamy threesomes with her mother-in-law-to-be and her younger lover, Cholodenko has created a situation in which this reckless, out-of-character behavior seems organic rather than sensational. (Although it's less believable that the ultimately maternal Jane would act so perversely in this or any other universe.)
Bale, one of the most intriguing actors of his generation, plays a young man rebelling against his liberal upbringing with a mix of bemusement and lost-puppy anguish, making this film as much about mothers and sons as struggling couples.
A lazy and unsatisfying tease of an ending lets down an otherwise entertaining and witty drama, which features songs by Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous, sung surprisingly well by Nivola.

Kermit For Congress
We see by today's Cape Cod Times that perrennial candidate, Peter White, is running again. The local motelier, a peace activist, renewable-energy advocate and global climate change Cassandra all but defines the term "grass roots". Peter's benign and gentlemanly mien is in sharp contrast to the virulent partisanship characterizing today's political arena. As to his chances as an Independent, Jim Henson might well have sung the famous lyric, "It's not easy being green" with Peter White in mind; I'd be surprised if his high school class didn't vote him "most persistent". Lest it seem I'm treating his candidacy lightly, I'm quite serious in my belief that it's time such a concerned and progressive independent was elected to Congress by like-minded Cape Codders, and he has my vote.

Stock Screening and Backtesting With SynVero
by Kenn Pennington
SynVero is a new cloud-based on-demand tool for stock screening. Features include a stock screener, backtesting and a trade simulator. A basic subscription is $9.89 per month and the Pro version is $19.89 per month. A free 30-day trial is available. In this article, SynVero's founder describes how the features work.
Stock Screener
Stock screening assists investors in identifying potential investment opportunities based on a set of quantitative filters. Typically, a stock screener will start with a broad listing of securities and the investor either selects predefined stock screening parameters or provides custom criteria that describes the desired security or scenario. The criteria are then applied against the available securities, and only securities that meet the set of filters are displayed.
The criteria utilized varies according to an investor's preferences and the capabilities of the screening application itself. Investors often use stock screening to search for stocks based on desired fundamental and/or technical values.
SynVero's stock market screener enables users to search for desired securities using detailed and customized criteria. Its filtering technology is built around the concept that screening can be broken down into smaller interrelating pieces of logic called criteria. Some criterion examples include a moving average crossing above or below another moving average or a price-earnings ratio within a range of values. These criteria are building blocks for constructing filters that range from basic to extremely robust. Each one autonomously applies its logic to the broader results, yet it can be connected to other individual criterions containing their own separate logic to contribute.
The goal of these independent, yet connected, criteria is to provide flexibility. The chained connection points are subjected to either conjunctive or disjunctive joins. Essentially, this means you can employ "and/or" logic with a high degree of specificity. Please note the "or" disjunction is only available to SynVero Pro level account clients and can only be used twice within a single filter. Criteria can also be defined as exclusionary or inclusive, which means you can determine if the criterion is something you want to find or something you want to avoid.
Each criterion is further defined according to one of four categories: general, fundamental, technical indicator or analyst recommendations. Within the general category you can specify security types, market exchanges, sectors or industries. Using a fundamental criterion, users can filter based on a number of fields originating from the company's SEC 10-Q or 10-K filing. Using the technical indicators category, users can filter on a variety of technical values or achievements. With regards to the analyst recommendations category, users can generate criteria based on consensus analyst estimates from Zacks Investment Research.
In many instances, users can establish comparisons across categories of criteria. So a technical indicator is not restricted to being analyzed in the context of just other technical indicators. As an example, you can identify stocks where the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) is below the analysts' mean target price.
Users can decide which filtering criteria to include in their screen using SynVero's interactive wizard (called the Filter Designer). Figure 1 shows an example of a criterion being added. An example of how the Filter Designer visually represents the criteria, their individual logic and their interconnection to each other is displayed in Figure 2. The criteria as a whole can be saved as a filter and then executed again by simply opening it from the toolbar.
The results of the screening can be downloaded as a comma delimited (CSV) or Excel file, added to a watchlist or simply reviewed on screen within a highly configurable grid. Figure 3 gives a sample of the grid. Investors can select from over 50 different fields to display within their filtering results, which can be sorted, navigated and drilled down to view all available details (Figure 4). Finally, the results of the filters can be automatically emailed to you each day.
Backtesting is a form of retrodiction where a predictive model is tested for accuracy against historical data. As it applies to investing, backtesting is a method of measuring a specific investment strategy's hypothetical performance using historical stock prices. While the goal of backtesting is to more finely tune an investment plan before executing it in the real market, it's important to note that historical performance is not always indicative of future performance.
The primary shortcoming is that backtesting never completely emulates or substitutes real-world market transactions and the economic forces at play. Although the depth of thoroughness can vary, most backtesting software packages ultimately share a fundamental deficiency: They use past data, which is not guaranteed to be repeated in the future. That might appear as a philosophical bone to pick, but it has practical implications for those willing to place a degree of confidence into a backtest's outcome.
Despite any theoretical or practical imperfections, backtesting can still be an immensely valuable tool to investors. It permits a glimpse into a strategy's potential performance without suffering any monetary consequences. It systematically applies an investment strategy and can steer you toward a more precisely defined description of the opportunity you're seeking. Backtesting software also removes emotions from the investment strategy, which is an area where it outperforms its human counterpart.
With SynVero, any stock screening criteria users define can be backtested. As an example, if a user sets up a filter to find securities where the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) crossed above its signal line, he can use the same filter in a backtest as his position entry requirements. Criteria can also be established for exiting a position, along with many other parameters such as starting capital, long versus short, and amount to spend on positions to name a few. Figure 5 shows an example of setting up a backtest. The amount of historical data available for backtesting in SynVero is dependent on your account level. Basic accounts are limited to one year and Pro accounts are limited to eight years.
After setting up a backtest's parameters, it can be submitted to run against SynVero's resources. With approximately 3.9 million potential entry points per year of historical data, SynVero's cloud infrastructure scales according to demand and is optimized to quickly fulfill these backtests. However, the amount of time it takes to complete a backtest is influenced by how much historical data you're utilizing and how narrowly your entry criteria is defined. SynVero's basic account users can expect completion times between a few seconds and five minutes. Pro level accounts, with eight years of available market prices to test against, can expect completion times between a few seconds and 30 minutes. Completion times can be reduced when greater criteria detail is provided for position entry. Users can elect to be automatically notified via email upon completion. After finishing a backtest, SynVero provides a summary of the performance along with detailed information regarding how each trade performed within the backtest along with any reasons the trade might have been exited.
Trade Simulator
Investment games or trade simulators share some characteristics with backtesting. Trade simulators typically present historical prices in a stock chart and disguise or hide the real name of the underlying security. The person playing the game then has an opportunity to make a fictional investment and gauge their performance over a period of time.
As with backtesting, there are logical fallacies that come with trade simulators. The primary one is the use of historical data and the inability to accurately represent all the variables involved in real market transactions. The caution here for investors is that performance within a simulated trading game does not equate to actual market performance in the future.
SynVero's trade simulator is intended as a complementary tool to both its screener and backtesting features. Using the trade simulator, you can test yourself against historical market data without risking any funds as you hone your trading or investment skills. SynVero's basic account allows users to practice against randomly selected securities from the past year. Although the user has the ability to decline making an investment and request another randomly selected security, they do not have an ability to determine which securities are selected for the practice session. Pro level account users can practice against both random securities and securities matching a filter's criteria from the past year. Suppose a Pro account user has a filter to find securities where the MACD line crossed above the signal line. They could use this filter to identify matches from one year ago and practice trading against these older matches (without the actual security symbol being revealed until after the practice session).
Additional Features
SynVero also provides a help guide that contains an overview of financial fields and technical indicators, along with the mathematical formulas utilized to calculate them. Charts can be configured to render as bar, line, candle or mountain with scaling methods of linear or logarithmic. Finally, the overall color theme can be adjusted between the default black to an alternative white.
Subscription Levels and Pricing
SynVero offers two different account levels. Each provides a 30-day free trial at the beginning of the subscription and can be canceled at any time. The basic account costs $9.89 per month. The Pro account is $19.89 per month and provides additional features such as the ability to design "and/or" logic with more historical data available for backtesting. More information on account comparisons can be viewed here.
SynVero is a Software as a Service (SaaS) tool that provides investors with a customizable stock market screener based on technical indicators, fundamentals and analyst recommendations. Our database covers over 15,000 securities from NASDAQ, NYSE, NYSE MKT and OTC. Pricing data uses end-of-day data. The software also includes backtesting and practice trading based on filtering results.

When Isaiah Taylor first signed with the Hawks, he said the best way or him to prove he belongs in the NBA is to focus on being a play-maker. That certainly was true during his short stint last season with the Rockets. They were (and are) a contending team on which Taylor played most of his minutes alongside Eric Gordon and Trevor Ariza.
But now Taylor is with the Hawks, who are rebuilding and looking for young players to develop as part of their core. Signed on the eve of the regular season, Taylor is trying to earn a regular role as the backup point guard behind Dennis Schroder and most of his minutes will come alongside one-year vets who likely are not part of the team's future.
The other day I wrote that Taylor's speed is an asset as a play-maker and screen-roll defender but that he seemed hesitant to take advantage of good opportunities to score. Apparently, Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer has been telling Taylor the same thing.
"Coach, he actually encourages me to score a lot," Taylor said after practice today. "Getting more in that flow, knowing when to shoot and when to pass and getting more acclimated to the offense just takes practice time and game time to feel a little more comfortable. Right now my teammates and coaching staff have been doing a great job helping me feel comfortable out there on the court."
Taylor played 16 minutes against the Bucks on Sunday. He also played 16 minutes at Chicago but that was with Schroder out of the lineup. Against the Bucks Taylor played ahead of Malcolm Delaney, who stayed on the bench during the second half.
It remains to be seen if Taylor will be a permanent fixture the rotation from now on. Budenholzer said the Hawks have been "really happy with Isiah's play" but added that both Taylor and Delaney "give us good options as the backup point guard." Budenholzer noted that he's played both Taylor and Delaney alongside Schroder at times.
How can the Hawks help Taylor develop?
"In some ways, confidence is a great first step," Budenholzer said. "Giving him a little bit of freedom and a little bit of confidence. With that, I think he's improved a lot as a shooter and hopefully continue to encourage him and embrace him shooting when he's open and be aggressive. He's got a good natural feel, so maybe encouraging him and building his confidence."
Speed is Taylor's most obvious attribute. In limited playing time with the Hawks that has translated into a high free-throw rate (six FTAs in 52 minutes vs. nine FGAs) and five of his nine field goal attempts were within five feet of the basket.
Taylor's speed also allows him to make plays like this:
Among the top five lineups used by the Hawks, the best net rating (34.6 over 14 minutes) by far belongs to the alignment with Taylor, Marco Belinelli, Kent Bazemore, Luke Babbitt and John Collins. That's an intriguing offensive lineup with plenty of play-makers, two plus shooters and Collins as the roll man. The 56.3 effective field-goal percentage produced by that group is by far the best of the top five lineups.
If Taylor can become more of a scoring threat, it would boost the second unit even more. The Hawks are urging him to do it.
"This is an organization where we all play as a team," Taylor said. "Everybody is trying to get better. Coach, he does a great job, (he) and his staff, of installing confidence in me and instilling our confidence in our other players to go out and do what we can do."

Now multiply that savings times the thousands of CoCs managed by the lab every year and the financial impact is significant.
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) July 30, 2015
Promium, L.L.C., a leading provider of software for organizations that require or perform environmental testing, announced today the production release of the EnviroChain online field data collection and chain of custody service. This unique new service reduces cost and replaces the thousands of pieces of paper used in the conventional field data collection and chain of custody process, with an online service that combines web and mobile technology.
In the same way that online banking is replacing check writing, and email is replacing snail mail, the online chain of custody service is providing environmental engineering firms, environmental consultants, and environmental testing laboratories with a streamlined and cost effective way to improve and accelerate the flow of data and samples. The outdated paper-based process has been in place since at least the 1970's when the U.S. EPA was established.
"Rather than handwriting sample information on paper forms, EnviroChain transactions are entered into your mobile device in the field and a chain of custody document is instantly transferred to the laboratory. And when EnviroChain is integrated with the laboratory's LIMS through an API, all of the actual sample data is uploaded directly into the system—eliminating data entry and transcription errors."
"Our laboratory customers tell us that it costs them on average, at least ten dollars to process each paper chain of custody (CoC). That doesn't even include the cost of fixing a transcription error—something that might not be noticed until after work has begun. With EnviroChain, that same transaction would cost less than two dollars," said Scot Cocanour, Promium CEO. "Now multiply that savings times the thousands of CoCs managed by the lab every year and the financial impact is significant."
While the subscription-based EnviroChain service reduces cost for the laboratories, it also provides an efficient and accurate solution for environmental engineering firms and environmental consultants. "Engineering firms, consultants, and sampling firms are looking to make their workflow more efficient and accelerate the process," said Cocanour. "With the iOS and Android mobile apps, and pre-populated information, EnviroChain gives them a solution that automates the process and is easy to use, in the office and in the field." The mobile applications allow data to be entered even when there is no active connection and synchronized when back in range.
There is no charge to use EnviroChain for individuals and organizations that plan, collect, and submit the samples—referred to as sample generators. Instead, a modest transaction fee is charged to the receiving laboratory for each submission. Price per transaction ranges from $1.29 to $1.99 depending on the plan, far below the cost of processing a paper-based chain of custody. For more information visit http://www.promium.com.
About Promium
Promium, L.L.C. is a leading provider of environmental information management software for organizations that either require or perform testing of soil, water, air, and food. Our solutions accelerate the flow of data from sample collection to client reporting. Since 1998, Promium has been serving the environmental community and every day, thousands of users at hundreds of organizations use Promium solutions to improve the efficiency of their operations.

| Spoiler Alert!
Warning! This page contains spoilers for The Icebound Land.
Philemon is now the current lord of the castle of Château Montsombre.
The Icebound LandEdit
Philemon was formerly head of the troops in the castle under Lord Deparnieux, but when Halt defeated Deparnieux in a duel, Halt appointed lowly Philemon as the warlord under the condition that he would release the people that Deparnieux had put in cages, and give servants freedom and the choice of staying or going .
Philemon was probably going to continue the ways of his old master, so Halt threw a torch in a pile of oily rags. The fire burnt down the keep tower, Deparnieux's former home, the epicenter of his evil. The people of his court could stop the fire from spreading and burning the entire castle to the ground, but the fire also burnt the supports and weakened the stone, so some of the walls collapsed.

Comedian Scott Rogowsky took some fake book covers on the subway to gauge people's reaction, and I have to admit, I loved every second of this. If "100 Penis Lengthening Tips You Can Do At Home, The Office, Or On The Go" was a real book, 90% of you creeps would buy it. Me? I like to think I'm more of a class act than dick enlargement, so that's why "Slut-Shaming Your Baby" and "Ass Eating Made Simple" are my go to's, can't do without options.
This has to be the best part of the video, right?

It was not my intention to start an inter-Apache-list war here, so I have a couple of things to add : 1) reading the next post of the original mod_perl poster, it has become clear to me that what he meant by "the tomcat dev's" was not "The Tomcat Dev's". He obviously meant "the dev's who developed the applications running under Tomcat". And he was not talking about static pages, it is more complicated than that. So you can all get back to being your usual serene and competent helpful selves again. 2) to further dispel the issue, here is the second post by the same OP. (I also have to add that I am quoting all this without permission, and it was just by curiosity). quote ... > Assuming that what you say about Tomcat is true (I don't know, and it > may be worth asking this on the Tomcat list), I can think of another way > to achieve what you seem to want : > if you can distinguish, from the request URL (or any other request > property), the requests that are for invariant things, then you could > arrange to /not/ proxy these requests to Tomcat, and serve them directly > from Apache httpd. Indeed that is a good idea. We are doing that for new projects for css and js files (apache does not proxy certain paths and picks these up from the local filesystem). We can't do that for the 100 odd legacy servers as no-one has time o delve into the java/JSP code. I need to do something "outside" of tomcat where possible. Just to explain, each web server is a paid-for project - and when it's done, it sits there for 5+ years. Only I have the time/inclination to fix this as it's killing my VMWare infrastructure. Because the sites are all fronted by apache in a similar way, one solution is likely to apply to most of the sites. I would also add that most of the sites are "dynamically" driven pages, even involving MySQL querying, but once launched, the data remains fairly static - eg GET X will always resolve to reponse Y. I'm planning a small seminar on the value of Cache-Control for my dev colleagues so they can stop making this mistake ;-> But that still leaves a lot of "done" projects to fix. > Which proxying method exactly are you using between Apache and Tomcat ? > (if you are using mod_proxy, then you are either using mod_proxy_http or > mod_proxy_ajp; you could also consider using mod_jk). mod_proxy_http specifically. mod_jk looks interesting for new projects (we have local tomcats for those now) - I think it may be a non-starter for old stuff as trying to retro fit it may not be so simple (our older tomcat servers are in a remote farm on their own machines hence the use of mod_proxy_http). > Also, what are the versions of Apache and Tomcat that you are using ? > Apache 2.2 (various sub versions) and both tomcat 5.5 and tomcat 6 (but all on remote machines listening on TCP sockets). I think for this problem, I have to treat tomcat as a little, rather inefficient, black box and try to fixup on the apache front ends, hence the direction of my original idea... unquote .. and I am sure that he does not *really* mean it either, like he says in that last phrase. One interesting suggestion here was to use the URLRewriteFilter. I will pass that on to the mod_perl OP.

I think my boa is sick can anyone help me
well for one thing if its been that short of time he probly hasnt lost weight its just your imagination. If he isnt moving he may me hungry and he may have regurgitatid because the portion is to big for him to eat at once, have you fed him the same portion before? Even if you have its still possible its just to big for him to swallow at once, i have a creamsicle corn who when started on fuzzied could eat them whole no problem, but later on started to regurgitate the whole ones. Try cutting the mouse in half. And as for his head he is probably just resting. But if your seriously worried about it and the position of the head continues to stay the same you may want to get him checked. Hope this helps

|Re: [compress] add a memory efficient stream compress InputStream - e.g. a "DeflaterInputStream"
|Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:12:19 GMT
Hi there, I think this one has been addressed in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-83 This change is not released yet. You might want to check the code out from SVN and build it yourself. I have some time left later this year and hopefully this change will come with an 1.1 version soon. But this needs to be discussed on the dev list. Let me know if you need help or if this works out for you Best regards, Christian On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 12:33 PM, Patrick Herber<email@example.com> wrote: > Hello! > > I've the same issue as described in > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-48 > > My web application recieves an InputStream (an uploaded large file) which I > need to save compressed in the DB. > Currently (since the file could be really big) I save it GZIP-ed into a Temp > File and then I open a new InputStream to that file.

We recently introduced a new collection of molded sleeves for iPad, Kindle, eReaders and Tablets. The new sleeves are made of a material called METRIC 66. So what exactly is METRIC 66 and what makes it different than neoprene?
METRIC 66 is a protective molded foam material that is actually used in swimwear and intimate apparel. Since the material is easily molded, we can create authentic designer impressions on the product such as the ones pictures above. In addition, METRIC 66 is a breathable, lighweight fabric. Why does this matter? Since it is breathable, it will not overheat or trap the heat from your gadgets like the standard neoprene sleeves/cases that are on the market today.
Do you care about the environment? We do. METRIC 66 is chemical free – NO HARMFUL SUBSTANCES unlike neoprene which does contain harmful chemicals.
Want to learn more about the new collection of molded sleeves for iPad, Kindle, eReaders and Tablets? See it live here!

How do I install Programs with appdata on separate drives?
I have a SSD for my OS and major programs (i.e. antivirus, programming tools, or any program i feel has little writing usage). I would like to install any other write intensive programs (games and what not) on my HDD. With that being said, I do not want to move my entire user profile to the HDD, as i would also like to install utilities to my SSD. The issue I run into is when installing programs to my storage drive, they will still create files/folders in my user folder on my OS drive. So the question i really need answered is can i install programs to separate drives, while also having their data write to the install location? If so, how?

Welcome to Seven Forums JoshuaJackson85.
You can use the steps in this tutorial to move only ProgramData to another drive by modifying the unattended answer file.
User Profiles - Create and Move During Windows 7 Installation
The line below highlighted in red would be left out so as to not move your User Profile.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <FolderLocations> <ProfilesDirectory>d:\Users</ProfilesDirectory> <ProgramData>d:\ProgramData</ProgramData> </FolderLocations> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:E:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /> </unattend>
|My System Specs

Moving ProgramData (kind of AppData for all users) can be done as Britton told above. However, to use sysprep as told in tutorial you cannot move the Appdata or a single user alone, you have to relocate the whole main profile folder Users.
Having user profiles (including AppData folders) on another drive than C: does in no way prevent installing software on any drive you'd like to.
|My System Specs
|24 Jan 2014
Considered it.
I have considered moving the entire user profile, but everywhere i read about it says this method will cause update issues later on.
|My System Specs
|24 Jan 2014
They are wrong. I have two systems installed as told in the tutorial and have had no issues at all. :)
|My System Specs
|24 Jan 2014
I have used sysprep to relocate the Users folder on all Vista, Seven and Eight systems, starting with Vista long before Seven was published. Never had any update issues.
No other method in relocating the complete main user profile folder inclusive Temp folders, AppData, and so on is so easy and idiotproof as the sysprep method. No changing folder properties manually for each folder you want to move, no registry editing, no links and junctions. Run sysprep and it's done, all existing and future user profiles are completely relocated to another drive, saving incredible amounts of space on your C: drive.
All updates will work, without an issue (read: without an issue caused by relocated Users folder).
The one and only "no-go" is a possible future in-place upgrade installation. If you want to in-place upgrade for instance from Seven to Eight instead of doing a clean install, you need first to sysprep the Users back to C:. Again, it's an easy and idiotproof procedure.
|My System Specs
|24 Jan 2014
Here goes nothing.
Okay I will give the full move a try. Just a couple of question. This script states an installation disk is in the E: drive, this is after installation. Do i require a script edit? Will i still need to change my default install directory? Can you monitor this thread as I am sure I will have more questions. Thank you both for all your help.
|My System Specs
|24 Jan 2014
Look at the PDF, you do have to change some values marked in red to match your system, i.e. drive letters, w7 type, etc. Change before saving as XML.
|My System Specs
|24 Jan 2014
As Britton said above, you edit the answer file (xml script) as you wish (new location for Users and ProgramData, location of Windows install media needed to sysprep etc.).
|My System Specs
|24 Jan 2014
I not only read it, I printed it!
Im good on that. I read post #22 as well. I just wanted to make sure the line
<cpifflineImage cpi:source="wim:E:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
wasnt referring to a disc that wasnt present resulting in an avoidable error on my part

8 replies to Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop Review – – Disney Springs Marketplace
This is a great spot to satisfy your chocolate cravings. We have had some great ice cream creations here. The servings are large enough to share. They also serve good hot chocolate and it is the perfect way to to warm up on a chilly night. They often are giving chocolate samples in the shop & have some gift items too.
Be Sure to Try: Try the sea salt caramel Cocoa.
General tips: This is not a huge place & we eat outside. It is perfect during the holidays, it smells SO good outside its like heaven so sit outside & people watch!
TheMouseForLess tips: If your getting cocoa for little kids they have water cups inside so you can easily split a regular cocoa between 2 kids
Extra Comments: DO NOT GET THE COFFEE unless your jonesing
Be Sure to Try: The milkshakes… Dark Chocolate Raspberry.
General tips: Very Yummy, but it was nicer when they used glass dishes rather than plastic cups to serve the food.
TheMouseForLess tips: Portions are just slightly on the large size.
Extra Comments: Seating out doors.
Be Sure to Try: great coffee and ice cream , a must to go to when in Downtown Disney, I love this place!
General tips: Try the chocolate sample as you enter the door.
Atmosphere: There really is no atmosphere here – just a few indoor tables, and outdoor patio tables.
Be Sure to Try: All of the sundaes were very good.
General tips: If possible, split up your party when it's busy. We had 2 people save the table while two of us ordered since it was very busy at the time.
TheMouseForLess tips: Thanks to someone else on the list here, we signed up for their email newsletter and received 2 coupons for buy one sundae get one 50% off. You have to check that you live within 50 miles of one of their stores though to get the coupon.
Extra Comments: This was our first visit to Ghirardelli, and we wished we had gone earlier in the trip. We would've gone back a second afternoon for a treat!
Be Sure to Try: the sundaes
General tips: There are tables on the other side of the walkway not just outside the store
TheMouseForLess tips: I signed up for Ghirardelli's Gmail before we left and got a coupon for buy one sundae get one free, my husband also signed up so we got 2 coupons.
Extra Comments: The ice cream is so good, it is possible to share a sundae.
Be Sure to Try: anything! The ice cream was super!
General tips: Don't go too close to closing .. the line just seemed to get longer and longer!
TheMouseForLess tips: Without a doubt – 2 people could have shared a sundae! (DH was not up for sharing! LOL) Be sure to check for current coupons
Be Sure to Try: The Sundaes were very good. You cannot go wrong here with any choice.
General tips: If you sign up at the Ghiradelli website and indicate that you are within 50 miles of a Ghiradelli location, you will receive an e-mail within approximately 48 hours for a coupon that will entitle you to a free Sundae when you buy one.
TheMouseForLess tips: Be sure to sign up at the website Ð see above. Also, two could share these sundaes if youÕre so inclined.
Extra Comments: This is a counter service restaurant and even though the line may seem overwhelming at first, the line does move fairly quickly and I would never hesitate to stand in line to enjoy a treat from here. The only drawback may be finding a place to sit at inside. But there are tables outside.

Meet Elm Hill Cookies
Owner Janis Smith and her team of bakers will be at The Wedding Co. Show, January 13-15 at the Carlu sampling their famous cookies.
Janis opened Elm Hill Cookies in December 2010 with the motto: "we do not cut corners", meaning that there is not a round cookie in the shop – every cookie is square, including their square headed gingerbread men!
Her motto goes a lot deeper than just the shape of their cookies. Elm Hill Cookies only uses the finest ingredients, with no artificial colours. Everything is hand cut and baked in small batches. Even their attention to their packaging is commendable: all boxes are 100% post consumer fiber and 100% recyclable. Their biodegradable ribbon is made from Swedish pine trees and are compostable, as are the transparent bags they use for individually wrapped cookies.
Elm Hill's favours are a great gift for your guests, their custom packaging fits four cookies and is handsomely finished off with coloured baker's twine or ribbon as well as a custom tag.

Today I sold my first book in Italy.
Every time a copy of something I write is sold in a brand new country, I get this renewed sense of wonder that this is all actually happening.
USA, UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, Italy. My books are making their way around the world and I'm so grateful. I'm grateful that somehow after all of these years I have the opportunity to start to live my dream.
The day I started this website with only a vague plan for my blog. The day I finished the first draft of my novel. The day my first short story was published. The day my first short story was SOLD. I want to capture these moments and hold them close to my heart. To look back on them in fondness and amazement years from now at how far I've come.
These are the first steps down what I hope will be a very long writing path. And I'm so excited for the adventures I'll have along the way.

Making it One
In the past, you had a silo for security, a management silo for networking, and another one for storage...If were going to gain the efficiencies of all of these technologies, we need to have a consolidated network management system and provisioning system. Ultimately, this will lead to a single layer in the data centre, which we term the data centre fabric.
A lot of the networks today, we could build them with single layers, and thats where the products we announced today come in as building blocks.
But keeping this discussion at a high level, the whole idea is to get the number of layers within your network down to as few as possible. One would be perfect. And this is todays discussion, the announcements are around helping our customers make the transition from 3- to 2-tier, and making available the hardware, software and services to help you do that. And if you are already at two, then we can talk about how you start to move towards having one layer within the network, so its a single fabric.

Cherry Manga has filled MetaLES with her exhibit called "Insanity". I didn't find a note card but it's like a strange world filled with heads, and eyes, and ladies bursting from the ground, parachuting from the sky, and faces bulging here and there amidst other things. All the while things are moving and eery sounds are playing. A huge woman figure splayed across a ridge is called "Grab me insanity" and another erupting from the base level that has some huge long dollop of a projection from it's mouth along with sort of smaller growth-like heads coming out various parts of it is called "Insanity Shout". There are distorted "Faces of Madness" oozing up from the ground and various other oddities that are interesting to wander around. It's all on a large scale so that it's very immersive. While there I ran into fellow bloggers, Ziki and Divi. Enjoy some interesting seating while looking around at a variety of strange ... well.. er... sort of insanity.
Venice at PRADA Venezia Showcase City which appears to be owned by Yumix Writer boasts, Italia Italy Milano Torino Firenze Roma Napoli Toscana Gondola Ballroom Carnival Masks Jazz Bar Irish Pub Movie Cinema Culture Lombardia. Quite frankly it's a fantastic display making for great photos, dates, site seeing, shopping and more. You can ride the vaporetto or gondolas through the waterways, sit and have a bite to eat and enjoy this well made sim. I used the location lighting for all but one of these photos.
