Lab Report: Isolation of Plant Pigments
The presence of different pigment molecules in the leaves of plants is due to the presence of carotenoids and chlorophyll. These pigments are of different colors such as red, green, yellow and orange. Separation of these different colors involves the application of three different processes namely solvent extraction, chromatography and spectrophotometry. Solvent extraction is used to extract these pigments from the leaves, chromatography applied to separate the extracted pigments. Finally, spectrophotometry is used to identify the different colors separated by chromatography. These three different processes follow each other in succession, and must be done with accuracy and precision. The most common plant pigment is chlorophyll that is green in color. On the other hand, carotenoids because of their oxygen component may be orange, red or yellow in color. Chlorophyll absorbs light at 450 nm and 650-700 nm in the blue and red wavelength regions. In the paper chromatogram, there will be different regions representing the different pigments. Beta carotene appears as yellow-orange, pheophytin as grey, chlorophyll a as blue-green, chlorophyll b as green and xanthophylls as yellow. There are also other pigments called the anthrocyanins that appear reddish in color.
All these pigments absorb light at different wavelengths and resolute on the paper chromatogram at different speeds. As a result, they will occupy different regions on the paper chromatogram based on their resolution. A look at the results of the paper chromatography reveals a chromatogram with five different regions occupied by different pigments. We observe an orange pigment, yellow pigment, yellow-green pigment, blue-green and reddish pigments in that order. These are the pigments that are clearly visible on the chromatogram. These pigments appear in this order from the solvent front. Remember the solvent used in this process must not dissolve any of these pigments. There are other pigments in blurred and appear grey in color. They appear at the bottom of the rest of the pigments. Continue reading Lab Report on Biochemistry

Car Review
2015 Infiniti QX50: New Car Review
Although the 2015 Infiniti QX50 might seem like a new SUV, it really isn't, having sprung to life nearly six years ago as the Infiniti EX35. Despite its age, Infiniti's small luxury SUV continues to impress with its sedan-like driving dynamics, sensible size and rich interior design. Looking not unlike a quarter-scale model of the larger QX70 SUV, the QX50's curvaceous exterior starkly contrasts the hard, crisp lines of newer luxury models, such as the Mercedes-Benz GLK. Unlike many of its peers, the QX50 rides lower to the ground, making entry and exit a bit easier. The QX50's powerful V6 engine won't disappoint, either, though its small rear seat and cargo capacity might.
Inside, Infiniti has created a little leather-and-wood oasis to escape to after a hard day at the office. Luxury is more than just technology and power, it's an art form -- and in the QX50, Infiniti has created a masterpiece. With its flowing dash and door panels, detailed stitching on the seats, wood inlays and colorful interior options, the 2015 Infiniti QX50 really does make its owner and occupant feel pampered.
What's New for 2014?
There are no major changes to the 2015 Infiniti QX50.
What We Like
Inviting interior; powerful V6; low step-in height; sleek styling
What We Don't
Small back seat; smaller cargo hold; high pricing on the Journey model; rear-wheel drive not as good in snow as front-wheel drive
How Much?
Fuel Economy
The QX50 is powered by a smooth and refined 3.7-liter V6 engine that makes 325 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. Infiniti's 7-speed automatic is the only transmission choice and uses adaptive shift control technology to learn and respond to driver habits. Its manual mode allows the driver to change gears manually, aided by a downshift rev-matching feature that blips the throttle before downshifts.
Fuel economy ratings for both rear-wheel-drive models are 17 miles per gallon in the city and 25 mpg on the highway, while the all-wheel-drive (AWD) models attain slightly lower ratings: 17 mpg city/24 mpg hwy.
Standard Features & Options
The Infiniti QX50 comes in two trims: base and Journey. Both trims can be ordered with all-wheel drive.
The base QX50 ($35,995) includes standard keyless entry and starting, an 8-way power driver's seat, leather interior, 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera and USB/iPod integration.
The QX50 base AWD ($37,395) adds heated front seats to the base model's standard equipment list.
The QX50 Journey ($38,195) adds a power tilt/slide moonroof, Bluetooth, a power tilt-telescopic steering wheel and heated front seats.
The QX50 Journey AWD ($39,595) has the same equipment as the rear-wheel-drive model.
Three well-appointed packages are available for the Journey trims. The Technology package includes intelligent cruise control that helps maintain a safe distance between the QX50 and upcoming traffic; lane-departure warning and lane-departure prevention; and blind spot and forward-collision monitoring systems. The Premium package adds helpful features such as the Around View Monitor, which displays a 360-degree view outside the vehicle, and a 7-in LCD hard-drive navigation system with voice recognition and 3D graphics. Also included in the package are front and rear sonar and Infiniti's advanced climate-control system. The Deluxe Touring package adds adaptive HID headlamps, tilt-down side-view mirrors, a power passenger seat, power-folding rear seats and driver's seat power lumbar support.
Traditional safety equipment includes a standard 4-wheel anti-lock braking system, electronic traction and stability control, and a full complement of airbags, including front-side impact and front- and rear-side curtain airbags. Optional safety equipment includes a pre-brake feature as part of intelligent cruise control that can detect rapidly slowing traffic ahead and prep the brakes for an emergency stop. The lane-departure warning system uses cameras to monitor the space between the car and the center dividing line. If the vehicle veers too close to the line, the system will alert the driver via an audible warning and lightly apply selected brakes to help bring the car back into its lane.
The independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the 2013 EX37 top marks in all of its crash tests and awarded it a Top Safety Pick rating. As the QX50 is the same vehicle, we expect these ratings to remain intact.
Behind the Wheel
Because the QX50 shares much of its chassis and suspension with the G Sedan, it naturally rides and drives very much like its sleek 4-door cousin. Although not as quick off the line as the G, the QX50 is no slouch, and it handles quick merging maneuvers as easily as it rounds sharp bends. The intelligent AWD system adds traction when needed but sends most of the engine's power back to the rear wheels -- exactly what the enthusiast driver loves.
On side streets and long stretches of highway, the QX50's ride is fairly compliant, and its cabin is nearly isolated from wind and road noise. The steering is heavily but not arduously weighted, and the brakes feel strong and confident even after repeated hard stops. The one place that the QX50 could be fairly criticized is on rough surfaces: The base car's 18-in wheels and low-profile tires pick up and transmit road distortions too easily. Toss on the Deluxe Touring package's 19-in setup and the ride can become downright rude.
Other Cars to Consider
BMW X3 -- The X3's exterior is more angular, and its driving dynamics are more sporty (plus it has a larger rear seat), but the QX50's interior is far more plush, and a comparably equipped model is less expensive.
Mercedes-Benz GLK -- The GLK's styling is more angular and its interior is larger, not to mention it offers a high-mileage diesel option. Also, the GLK's ride is decidedly firmer than the QX50's.
Audi Q5 -- The Q5's interior is as attractive as the Infiniti's, but it has more rear legroom and cargo space, and its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine gets better fuel economy. Equip the Q5 with its optional V6 and the price jumps well above the QX50, though the two are equally matched in hp or torque.
AutoTrader's Advice
We'd go with the rear-wheel-drive Journey with the Premium package. You can get the same color and fabrics in the base QX50, but you can't order the option packages that really belong on a luxury model. The Technology package is not necessary unless you like lots of driving assistance, and the Touring package's 19-in wheels make the QX50's ride too stiff.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware made an early exit during Sunday's overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints because of a shoulder injury, but coach Jason Garrett said he expects the veteran to play in this weekend's NFC East showdown against the Washington Redskins.
"Somehow, some way, DeMarcus is going to get himself right to play in this Washington game," Garrett said during Monday's news conference, according to The Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "He'll battle through anything."
Ware suffered a strained shoulder against the Saints and didn't play in the fourth quarter. The six-time Pro Bowl pass rusher, who entered the game with elbow and hamstring injuries, returned for one play in overtime.
With a playoff spot and the division title on the line against the Redskins, Garrett is confident Ware will find a way to be back on the field.
"DeMarcus Ware is such a talented athlete, I think a lot of times, people lose sight of the kind of person he is and how mentally and physically tough that he is," Garrett said. "He just somehow, some way gets himself ready to play in a ballgame."

Light is a form of energy. To create light, another form of energy must be supplied. There are two common ways for this to occur, incandescence and luminescence.
Incandescence is light from heat energy. If you heat something to a high enough temperature, it will begin to glow. When an electric stove's heater or metal in a flame begin to glow "red hot", that is incandescence. When the tungsten filament of an ordinary incandescent light bulb is heated still hotter, it glows brightly "white hot" by the same means. The sun and stars glow by incandescence.
Luminescence is "cold light" that can be emitted at normal and lower temperatures. In luminescence, some energy source kicks an electron of an atom out of its lowest energy "ground" state into a higher energy "excited" state; then the electron returns the energy in the form of light so it can fall back to its "ground" state. With few exceptions, the excitation energy is always greater than the energy (wavelength, color) of the emitted light.
If you lift a rock, your muscles are supplying energy to raise the rock to a higher-energy position. If you then drop the rock, the energy you supplied is released, some of it in the form of sound, as it drops back to its original low-energy position. It is somewhat the same with luminescence, with electrical attraction replacing gravity, the atomic nucleus replacing the earth, an electron replacing the rock, and light replacing the sound.
There are several varieties of luminescence, each named according to the source of energy, or the trigger for the luminescence:
Fluorescence and Photoluminescence are luminescence where the energy is supplied by electromagnetic radiation (rays such as light, which will be discussed later). Photoluminescence is generally taken to mean "luminesce from any electromagnetic radiation", while fluorescence is often used only for luminescence caused by ultraviolet, although it may also be used for other photoluminescences. Fluorescence is seen in fluorescent lights, amusement park and movie special effects, the redness of rubies in sunlight, "day-glo" or "neon" colors, and in emission nebulae seen with telescopes in the night sky. Bleaches enhance their whitening power with a white fluorescent material.
Photoluminescence should not be confused with reflection, refraction, or scattering of light, which cause most of the colors you see in daylight or bright artificial lighting. Photoluminescence is distinguished in that the light is absorbed for a significant time, and generally produces light of a frequency that is lower than, but otherwise independent of, the frequency of the absorbed light.
Chemiluminescence is luminescence where the energy is supplied by chemical reactions. Those glow-in-the-dark plastic tubes sold in amusement parks are examples of chemiluminescence.
Bioluminescence is luminescence caused by chemical reactions in living things; it is a form of chemiluminescence. Fireflies glow by bioluminescence.
Electroluminescence is luminescence caused by electric current.
Cathodoluminescence is electroluminescence caused by electron beams; this is how television pictures are formed on a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube). Other examples of electroluminescence are neon lights, the auroras, and lightning flashes. This should not be mistaken for what occurs with the ordinary incandescent electric lights, in which the electricity is used to produce heat, and it is the heat that in turn produces light.
Radioluminescence is luminescence caused by nuclear radiation. Older glow-in-the-dark clock dials often used a paint with a radioactive material (typically a radium compound) and a radioluminescent material. The term may be used to refer to luminescence caused by X-rays, also called photoluminescence.
Phosphorescence is delayed luminescence or "afterglow". When an electron is kicked into a high-energy state, it may get trapped there for some time (as if you lifted that rock, then set it on a table). In some cases, the electrons escape the trap in time; in other cases they remain trapped until some trigger gets them unstuck (like the rock will remain on the table until something bumps it). Many glow-in-the-dark products, especially toys for children, involve substances that receive energy from light, and emit the energy again as light later.
Triboluminescence is phosphorescence that is triggered by mechanical action or electroluminescence excited by electricity generated by mechanical action. Some minerals glow when hit or scratched, as you can see by banging two quartz pebbles together in the dark. (The visible light emitted is often a secondary fluorescence effect, from electroluminescence in the ultraviolet).
Thermoluminescence is phosphorescence triggered by temperatures above a certain threshold. This should not be confused with incandescence, which occurs at higher temperatures. In thermoluminescence, heat is not the primary source of the energy, only the trigger for the release of energy that originally came from another source. It may be that all phosphorescences have a minimum temperature, but many have a minimum triggering temperature below normal temperatures and are not normally thought of as thermoluminescences.
Optically stimulated luminescence is phosphorescence triggered by visible light or infrared. In this case red or infrared light is only a trigger for release of previously stored energy.

Wenger fears doping scandal will spread to football
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger fears football may be the next major sport to be embroiled in a damaging drug scandal unless the game's authorities act quickly to ensure their big stars are not cheating.
Wenger has called for football's governing bodies to introduce blood testing to ensure the use of performance enhancing drugs is not a part of the football fabric.
The Frenchman has also suggested the notion that big stars in the sport are free from the temptation of steroid abuse is hard to believe.
"It is very difficult for me to believe that you have 740 players in the World Cup and you come out with zero problems," he said. "We could go much deeper into control and we have to try to find out and see how deep we can go into control.
"When you have a doping control at UEFA, they do not take blood, they take only urine. I have asked many times for this to be looked at. Sometimes you have to wait for two hours after the game, so blood could be a lot quicker.
"I would support it (blood testing). UEFA is ready to do it, but it poses some ethical problems because everyone has to accept that they will check the blood and not everybody is ready to do that."
After the fall from grace of cyclist Lance Armstrong was complemented by an alarming drug scandal affecting Australian sport this week, Wenger has suggested football needs to examine its own demons before they threaten the sport's credibility.
"When you look at psychological tests that have been done on people who are at the top in all sports and ask them if they would take a product that would guarantee them a gold medal or a world championship and 50 per cent people of say yes, they would take it," he said.
"That is quite scary. That is how far people are ready to go to win. If you go to amateur level and do that test, only two per cent say they would take it. We are at the level where people are ready to do anything to win."
Wenger fears the ongoing court trial of Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes, which is reported to implicate a host of high profile sporting stars in cycling, football and tennis in drug scandals, will further expose the performance enhancing ethic mindset of many top sporting stars and suggest the authorities need to dig deeper to expose the cheats.
"What I'm concerned about in the trial of the Spanish doctor is that he is in front of the justice just to see how he did the doping," he added. "They are not interested at all in who he has doped, just what he did.
"They have found pockets of blood but they don't even ask who it belongs to. The only thing we know is that the former chairman of Real Sociedad is involved in that. The justice should go deeper."

- 4 Configure PostgreSQL to be accessible from remote
- 5 Configure PostgreSQL to Work With PHP
- 6 Change Default Data Dir (Optional)
- 7 Change Default Encoding of New Databases To UTF-8 (Optional)
- 8 Installing phpPgAdmin (optional)
- 9 Upgrading Postgresql
- 10 More Resources
Installing PostgreSQL
- Install postgresql
$ sudo pacman -S postgresql
- Start the PostgreSQL server (The first time that this is run it will create the data directory and users needed to run the server. As such you will see a lot of output.)
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/postgresql start
- Check to make sure the postgres user is created and is in the postgres group.
$ groups postgres
- (Optional) Add postgresql to the list of daemons that start on system startup in the /etc/rc.conf file
Creating Your First Database/User
- Become the postgres user (This user was created when "/etc/rc.d/postgres start" was run)
su root su - postgres
- Add a new database user
createuser -D -R -S -P <username>
-D User cannot create databases
-R User cannot create roles
-S User will not be a superuser
-P Prompt for password will be issued
Alternatively, you can use the createuser without parameter. Questions will be asked:
# createuser <username> Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) y
The password can be changed from the psql command promt (su - postgres, then psql):
ALTER USER <username> WITH PASSWORD 'mypassword';
If you create a user as per your login user ($USER) it allows you to access the postgresql database shell without having to specify a user to login as (which makes it quite convenient).
- Create a new database over which that user has read/write privileges
createdb -O username databasename [-E database_encoding -T template]
The enclosed text is optional, where database_encoding for instance can be UTF8 and template can be template0 (this is necessary if used UTF8 as encoding).
- That's It! Your database has been created.
Familiarizing Yourself with PostgreSQL
Access the database shell
- Become the postgres user the first time, so we can assign permissions to you (your primary user)
$ sudo su postgres
- Start the primary db shell, where you can do all your creation of databases/tables, deletion, set permissions, and run raw SQL commands.
$ psql
- --You can optionally use `psql <database_name>` to administer an individual database.
- Connect to a particular database
=> \c <database>
- List all users and their permission levels
=> \du
- Shows summary information about all tables in the current database
=> \dt
- exit/quit the psql shell
=> \q or CTRL+d
There are of course many more meta-commands, but these should help you get started.
Configure PostgreSQL to be accessible from remote
The PostgreSQL database server configuration file is
postgresql.conf. This file is located in the data directory of the server, typically
/var/lib/postgres/data. This folder also houses the other main config files, including the
- As root user edit the file
$ sudo vim /var/lib/postgres/data/postgresql.conf
- In the connections and authentications section uncomment or edit the
listen_addressesline to your needs
listen_addresses = '*'and take a careful look at the other lines.
- Hereafter insert the following line in the host-based authentication file
/var/lib/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf. This file controls which hosts are allowed to connect, so be careful.
# IPv4 local connections: <br>host all all your_desired_ip_address/32 trustwhereas
your_desired_ip_addressis the ip address of the client.
- After this you should restart the daemon process for the changes to take effect with
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/postgresql restart
For troubleshooting take a look in the server log file
tail /var/log/postgresql.log
Configure PostgreSQL to Work With PHP
- Install the PHP-PostgreSQL modules
$ pacman -S php-pgsql
- Open the file
/etc/php/php.iniwith your editor of choice, e.g.,
# vim /etc/php/php.ini
- Find the line that starts with, ";extension=pgsql.so" and change it to, "extension=pgsql.so". (Just remove the preceding ";"). If you need PDO, do the same thing with ";extension=pdo.so" and ";extension=pdo_pgsql.so". If these lines are not present, add them. Thes lines may be in the "Dynamic Extensions" section of the file, or toward the very end of the file.
- Restart the Apache web server
# /etc/rc.d/httpd restart
Change Default Data Dir (Optional)
By default, when installing PostgreSQL the directory were all your newly created databases will be stored is
/var/lib/postgresql/data. If you want to change this behaviour, you have to follow these steps:
1. Create the new directory and assign it to user
postgres (you eventually have to become root) :
# mkdir /mypath/mydatadir # chown postgres:postgres /mypath/mydatadir
2. Become the postgres user, and initialize the new cluster:
$ initdb -D /mypath/mydatadir;
3. Now, as root user, stop the daemon (if it's currently running ) and restart specifying the new data dir:
# /etc/rc.d/postgresql stop # /etc/rc.d/postgresql start -D /mypath/mydatadir
Note that, unless you change the default behaviour by editing the file
/etc/rc.d/postgresql, you have to specify the data dir, with the
-D option, each time you start PostgreSQL daemon.
Change Default Encoding of New Databases To UTF-8 (Optional)
When creating a new database (e.g. with
createdb blog) PostgreSQL actually copies a template database. There are two predefined templates: template0 is vanilla, while template1 is meant as an on-site template changeable by the administrator and is used by default. In order to change the encoding of new database, one of the options is to change on-site template1. To do this, log into PostgresSQL shell (psql) and execute the following:
1. First, we need to drop template1. Templates can't be dropped, so we first modify it so it's an ordinary database:
UPDATE pg_database SET datistemplate = FALSE WHERE datname = 'template1';
2. Now we can drop it:
DROP DATABASE template1;
3. The next step is to create a new database from template0, with a new default encoding:
CREATE DATABASE template1 WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING = 'UNICODE';
4. Now modify template1 so it's actually a template:
UPDATE pg_database SET datistemplate = TRUE WHERE datname = 'template1';
5. (RECOMMENDED) PostgreSQL documentation advises to VACUUM FREEZE the template:
\c template1 VACUUM FREEZE;
6. (OPTIONAL) If you don't want anyone connecting to this template, set datallowconn to FALSE:
UPDATE pg_database SET datallowconn = FALSE WHERE datname = 'template1';
Now you can create a new database by running from regular shell:
su - su - postgres createdb blog;
If you log in back to psql and check the databases, you should see the proper encoding of your new database:
List of databases Name | Owner | Encoding | Collation | Ctype | Access privileges -----------+----------+-----------+-----------+-------+---------------------- blog | postgres | UTF8 | C | C | postgres | postgres | SQL_ASCII | C | C | template0 | postgres | SQL_ASCII | C | C | =c/postgres : postgres=CTc/postgres template1 | postgres | UTF8 | C | C |
Installing phpPgAdmin (optional)
phpPgAdmin is a web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL. It can be installed two ways.
Option A: install via Pacman (preferred)
- Make sure that the [community] repo is enabled.
- Install the package via Pacman
# pacman -S phppgadmin
Option B: install via a manual install (the old way)
- Download the latest .bz2 file from here into the root of your server directory
wget -P /home/httpd/html http://downloads.sourceforge.net/phppgadmin/phpPgAdmin-4.1.3.tar.bz2
- Extract the file into the new directory
tar -C /home/httpd/html/ -jxvf /home/httpd/html/phpPgAdmin-4.1.3.tar.bz2
- Remove the tar file
rm /home/httpd/html/phpPgAdmin-4.1.3.tar.bz2
- Change the name of the directory created in the previous step to include the version number (this will help in the future when upgrading)
mv /home/httpd/html/phpPgAdmin /home/httpd/html/phpPgAdmin-4.1.3/
- Create a link to that directory (for ease of linking and upgrading)
ln -s /home/httpd/html/phpPgAdmin-4.1.3/ /home/httpd/html/phpPgAdmin
- Copy the included generic config file
cp /home/httpd/html/phpPgAdmin/conf/config.inc.php-dist /home/httpd/html/phpPgAdmin/conf/config.inc.php
The config file is located at /home/httpd/html/phpPgAdmin/conf/config.inc.php. No changes should be required. Check this page for any other setup questions that you might have.
Upgrading Postgresql
First thing: these instructions could cause data loss. Use at your own risk. They work for me, but things change and nothing is guaranteed.
I would highly suggest adding the line
IgnorePkg = postgresql
to /etc/pacman.conf. This will make sure that you don't accidentally upgrade the database to an incompatible version. If you did an accidental upgrade you might not be able to access any of your data. Always check the Postgresql home page (http://www.postgresql.org/) to be sure of what steps are required for each upgrade. For a bit about why this is the case see this.
How to dump all of your data, upgrade PostgreSQL, and then restore all of your data (this may not be necessary for every upgrade, see #2 above)
Become the root user
Become the postgres user
su postgres
Change the current directory to one that the postgres user can write to
eg. cd ~/data/
Dump the current contents of the database
pg_dumpall > pgs_db.out
Unless you have a .pgpass file setup, you will be required to enter your password a few times (the number of times is roughly equal to the number of databases that you have + 2). One problem occurs if you don't have a password defined for the postgres user but you require local users to authenticate. In this case you will be asked to give a password that doesn't exist. To work around this problem, add a line to your pg_hba.conf file to trust the postgres user. You can remove this line after the upgrade is complete. So, the first line of the 'local' section of pg_hba.conf would look something like this:
local all postgres trust
Log out of the postgres user and return to superuser
Stop the PostgreSQL server
/etc/rc.d/postgresql stop
Move Postgresql's data directory
mv /var/lib/postgres /var/lib/postgres_old
Upgrade postgresql
pacman -S postgresql
Start the PostgreSQL server (this will create all needed files and directories)
/etc/rc.d/postgresql start
Become the postgres user
su postgres
Change the current directory to the directory that you dumped the data out to (in step 4 above)
eg. cd /var/lib/postgres_old/data/
Restore the database
psql -e template1 -f pgs_db.out

This is a postcard of the Market Place in Clitheroe, Lancashire.
The postcard is unused and I think dates from around 1950. It is published by F Frith & Co of Reigate.
I got the card simply because Clitheroe is an important location in my ancestral heritage, especially on my maternal side of the family. There is also a good possibility that my Dawson line can be traced back there sometime in the mid 1700's.
The postcard shows a group of people in the bottom left standing outside the offices of the Clitheroe Advertiser & Times newspaper. My mother tells me that there is a bus stop there.
Interestingly there are no road markings visible – either down the middle of the main road or at the junctions. There is a pedestrian crossing just behind the truck in the centre of the card. You can see the Belisha beacons at either side of the road. When pedestrian crossings were first introduced they were marked by large metal studs in the road surface. These crossings were later painted in black and white stripes, thus are known as zebra crossings.
At the top you can just see Clitheroe castle behind the trees. I am on the look out for a postcard of the castle and then this might appear in another blog post.

Difference between revisions of "NIN songs never played live"
From NinWiki
Revision as of 21:23, 3 December 2013
This is an ongoing list of songs that Nine Inch Nails have never played live, ordered by album and their album order. Remixes or songs appearing on The Social Network or The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo soundtracks are not included in this list.
Pretty Hate Machine Era
All songs from this album have been played at one point.
All songs from this album have been played at one point.

With Teeth Rehearsal Audio
Unofficially released tour rehearsal audio for the Live: With Teeth tour was made available by Echoing The Sound user mofoboy25, which included live audio of the song "Sunspots". This means that, whilst as-live audio of this song exists, it was not played to an audience and thus doesn't strictly count as "live".

Aside: As said in Mission and Method, posts are to contribute to a theme, though there may be divergent ones from time to time. Blogs allow categories, but these are problematic since they collect and present in a time order. From time to time, there ought to be a super-post that gives a more coherent view (here is an example - Truth, Fiction, and Finance). Perhaps, that type of thing will be done more often in the coming year.
Of course, I would be derelict if I didn't opine on why the interest.
Posts of interest, as of today:
- -- Gardners and Gardners -- what's in a name? I have found off-spring for a lot of those on Dr. Frank A's list. Some writers have suggested relationships between these Gardners. Of course, there are some not in the book (they now appear in internet searches -- what would Dr. Frank A. think of the new resources?). One of our goals is to look further at these types of things. It cannot be done without going back across the water. Following paperwork can be problematic, as the genealogists know. Conjectures are nice, if supported; in fact, we'll have an example of that shortly in regard to Thomas and Margaret. There are too many gaps, in many cases. We can't just fill these in without some thoughtful reason. Some families have on-going research that is supported by DNA analysis. One that I found to be interesting is the Gordon family's work.
- Historical genealogy -- it is interesting that a very recent, and popular, series of books (at least, one of these was filmed) by a Santa Fe writer was based upon the War of the Roses. However, the tales were fantasized such as to appeal to the modern mind. Actually, just re-looking with a new eye ought to be very informative. That is one of our goals.
- Welcome -- being a new blog, this post would still pop up. At some point, hopefully, another thread will supersede. Any predictions?
- Two generations -- we use nine children, as did the Great Migration study (six pages on Thomas). Some have added others. We will include all of the grand-children here, at least in a list, this coming year. We, inadvertently, had one featured this year: Ruth Gardner. That was due to my happening upon Frances Hill's book.
12/29/2012 -- Summary - 2012.
02/26/2013 -- See Wikipedia for a discussion about William Gardner whose page has been deleted.
12/15/2018- Added in links to recaps from the beginning.

CAMPTON HILLS – For the fourth and possibly last time, the Village Board on Tuesday will continue the public hearing on the substance abuse facility proposed for the former Glenwood School.
The meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. at Bell-Graham Elementary School, 4N505 Fox Mill Blvd.
Village President Patsy Smith said discussion will center on the market impact analysis study the village commissioned MaRous and Company to perform.
The study, which should be on the village's website before Tuesday's meeting, concluded Kiva Recovery won't have a measurable negative effect on the character or property values of the adjoining residential uses.
"The proposed development appears to be the highest and best use of the site, in terms of zoning, the market demand for similar properties and the likely redevelopment of the site," MaRous and Company said in its report.
"The uncertainty created by a vacant facility and long-term potential maintenance problems appear to be a bigger threat to property values in the area than the proposed facility under the annexation and rezoning agreement reviewed."
Smith expects the public hearing will end Tuesday but does not know when the board will be ready to vote.
"When they get to the point of making a decision," she said, "at some point they will have to talk about community perception and opinion."
Some citizens have publicly supported Kiva Recovery, but the opponents have been more aggressive in mounting a campaign against the facility. Opponents have circulated anti-Kiva literature at meetings, created www.stopkivarehab.com and left fliers on car windshields.
Residents have urged the board to gather public opinion by referendum. Instead, the village mailed postcard surveys to each household last month. Smith said her goal was to learn whether the majority of households in Campton Hills opposed Kiva.
As of Thursday, Smith said, Campton Hills received 1,605 cards, which represents a 42 percent response rate. Of the returned cards, she said, about 75.6 percent opposed Kiva. When viewing responses against the number of total households, she said, opposition drops to 32 percent.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Stacey Korolkova '09
Professor Ted Henken wasn't surprised that Stacey Korolkova's honors thesis on Mexican migrants in New York was judged the best senior thesis produced this year by a Macaulay Honors student in all of CUNY. "She's superb," said Henken, who acted as her adviser on the capstone paper titled "The American Dream and the Mexican Reality: Exploring the Lives of Young Undocumented Mexican Migrants in New York." The 101-page thesis was based on both written and oral sources. To research it, Stacey sought out the Restaurant Opportunity Center, a workers' rights group (many undocumented Mexicans work New York's restaurants) and MexEdNYC, an organization that promotes educational opportunities for young Mexican migrants. She also interviewed Baruch faculty members Professors Robert Courtney Smith, Alan Wernick, and Isolina Ballesteros, all authorities on the plight of undocumented Latino New Yorkers.
Stacey was honored for her award-winning thesis at the recent Macaulay Honors College graduation. She describes the paper as "the culmination of my whole college career." Come September, Stacey, an ad hoc international relations major in the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences, begins a nine-month internship as a New York City Urban Fellow. Once that's completed, she's thinking about the Peace Corps and, eventually, an MBA or a PhD. Just 21 years old, Stacey Korolkova was born in the Ukraine and lives with her family in Bath Beach, Brooklyn. She describes her academic experience at Baruch College as a Macaulay Honors Scholar as "wonderful."

Live to Inspire. Love to Teach.
"As educators, it's our job to make sure we're giving students the knowledge to be successful when they move on in their life….Warner was the best grad school experience I've ever had because it prepared me extremely well to jump into my career, and I will forever be grateful for that."
Jody Goodman, Program Director, UMass Amherst
"The most important thing I received there was the opportunity to be immersed in the study of education and leadership with very talented people, that think-tank mentality of being surrounded by the best of the best. The intellectual stimulation from both the staff and fellow classmates really did allow me to think about things differently."
Dawn Santiago-Marullo, Superintendent, Victor, NY
"It was more than I expected. Not only what I learned in the program, which I've been able to put into practice every day since, but also the connections I was able to make and the relationships I was able to form."
Beatriz M. Folch-Torres, MD, Rochester, NY
"When it came time to interview for jobs, it was very easy for me to talk about anything in the field, and that set me apart," he says. "You name it, and I had at least one experience in it—largely due to Warner."
Jeremy Friedman, Research Associate, Harlem Children's Zone, New York, NY
"The growth I've realized in myself is something I will be forever grateful for. I've learned to question, analyze, think and create in ways I never considered. I've changed as an educator and as a person."
Laura Van Laeken, Teacher, Midlakes, NY
"I had a very unique situation. I wasn't going down the typical path of a Warner student, and the school was just so flexible and supportive."
Shannon Walton, Sports Performance Counselor, Rochester, NY

The winning Powerball numbers were announced Wednesday night, heightening speculation regarding whether anyone struck it rich in the $400-million multistate jackpot.
The winning numbers are 17, 49, 54, 35 and 1, and the Powerball was 34, according to the Multi-State Lottery Assn.
If no one wins tonight's mega drawing, the money will rollover and the jackpot could soar to $500 million, lottery officials say.
The drawing took place at 7:59 p.m. Pacific time. Drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday night.
The $400-million jackpot is the sixth-largest in U.S. lottery history, and the odds of winning are about 1 in 175 million, officials said.
"We're getting into this routine now where this is becoming normal," California Lottery spokesman Alex Traverso said earlier Wednesday, "which is great for us because when you look at sales, they're steadily climbing."
Traverso said that year-to-date, the California Lottery is generating about 150% of the revenue it did during the same period in the previous fiscal year.
Even though sales are no longer "exploding" as they were when the wave of nine-digit jackpots began, he said that collectively, the spikes in sales add up.
"I don't even know what it takes to get the office pool going anymore," he said. "To get the casual player, it takes maybe a half a billion dollars, which has a nicer ring to it."
The bigger jackpots are drawing more players and excitement to the California Lottery after years of decline. The turnaround is a result of changes made to the lottery in 2010, when revenue was falling.
The changes brought bigger prizes, but they also altered the formula for how much revenue schools receive.
California joined Powerball last April, and since then enormous jackpots have become more common. About a month after the state joined the game, a Powerball jackpot climbed to about $600 million, setting a record for the game.
Officials say that with Powerball's $2 tickets, jackpots in that game can rise faster with fewer tickets sold than in a game like Mega Millions, which costs $1 per play.

(Lama guanicoe)
Facts about this animal
Guanacos are large ungulates with a total head-body length of 180-190 cm, a shoulder height of 100-120 cm, and a body-weight of up to 140 kg. They have long pointed ears, deeply cleft, highly mobile lips, a slender neck and long legs with broad hooves and callosities on the inner sides of the fore limbs.
The coat is woolly and longest on the flanks, chest and thighs. The colour is dark fawn-brown above, the head is dark greyish, and the under parts are white.
Guanacos are diurnal and territoria. They are found in family bands of up to 25 individuals, consisting of on male and several females with their offspring, bachelor groups or solitary males.
After a gestation period of 11 months one single foal is born, which is weaned at an age of 3-4 months and will reach sexual maturity at about 18 (females) to 24 (males) months.
Guanacos are predominatly grazers, their diet consisting e.g. at Tierra del Fuego of 90 % Festuca and Poa grass species, but they browse also shrubs to some extent (18 % in Mendoza).
Did you know?
that guanacos, like all camelids have a complex, 3-compartmented stomach? Although they are not considered ruminants, they do regurgitate and rechew ingested forage. In fact, they are more efficient at feed conversion than are ruminants in extracting protein and energy from poor quality forages.

How this animal should be transported
Guanacos have good eyesight and, like sheep, can negotiate steep slopes, though ramps should be as shallow as possible. They load most easily in a bunch as a single animal will strive to rejoin the others. Whilst they are usually docile, they have an unnerving habit of spitting in self-defence. During transport they usually lie down. They frequently extend their front legs forward when lying, so gaps below partitions should be high enough so that their legs are not trapped when the animals rise.
For air transport, Container Note 73 of the IATA Live Animals Regulations should be followed.

Why do zoos keep this animal
Zoos keep the guanaco for educational reasons because it is the ancestor of the domestic llama and alpaca. It is also an excellent ambassador species for the conservation of the South American grasslands. Ideally guanacos are kept in mixed species pampas exhibits.

38 Studios founder Curt Schilling uses tales of baseball triumphs past to hook Late Night host Jimmy Fallon and then brings Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning in for the kill.
While Schilling comes across as completely excited about the release of his company's first major game, Fallon himself looks like he'd much rather talk baseball for another five minutes. Notice how his demeanor changes with the subject. We know Fallon loves video games, so this is just an example of one great love overriding another. You'd get the same reaction from me if we were talking about Doctor Who and you changed the subject to Final Fantasy. I love both equally; I just love one a little more equally than the other.

10 Foreplay Techniques that will Leave Her Wanting for More
Make Her Beg
Unlike men, women are not always ready to have sex. They need a little warm up session to prepare themselves, both mentally and physically. Hence, some good foreplay techniques can always work wonders for you when it comes to satisfying your woman.
Following is a list of some foreplay techniques which will leave her begging for more and turn your each love making session into a pleasurable one.
Image Courtesy: Getty ImagesLoading...
Tip 1# Caress Other Parts of the Body Too
Don't act desperate and greedy for sex. Instead of concentrating directly on her breasts, start off with caressing other parts of the body like her stomach, arms, and legs. This will give her time to prepare herself and make it look like you care for her needs too.
Image Courtesy: Getty Images
Tip 2# Make Her Anticipate
Anticipation will surely heighten her senses. When she is expecting you to touch her erotic zones, this will be the time when you will start undressing her. This will leave her anticipating your next moves arousing her sexual desires.
Image Courtesy: Getty Images
Tip 3# Tease Her Thighs
The nerve located at the top of her inner thigh is one of the most sensitive ones. Save it for the last and watch her breath increase rapidly while you gently touch her there. Caressing this area will stimulate her genitals and leave her craving for more.

Tip 4# Draw a Balance Between Dirty Talking and Complementing
Excess of everything is bad. If you are complimenting her constantly, this can annoy her immensely and if you are only concentrating on dirty talks during sex it can make her feel filthy. Try to draw the right balance between both and make her feel sexy.

Tip 5# Keep Moving
It is necessary to find the spot on her body which when caressed arouses her the most. However, each time you make love, be sure that you don't forget her other parts of the body. If you are spending too much time touching her on one spot, this may make her feel bored.

Tip 6# Warm Her up for Later
If you are planning to have sex after a dinner date or an outing with friends, start warming her up at places where you can't have sex spontaneously. Touch her erogenous zones when both of you are watching a movie or just slip your hands around her waist slyly while you are having dinner at a restaurant. This will make her go wild once you are home or find an appropriate place to have sex.

Tip 7# Use Foreplay to Re-Set Her Mood
Once you have started to have sex, it is not necessary that she will remain in mood all through the intercourse. If she starts losing her interest during sex, get back to foreplay and make her relax again.

Tip 8# Neck Kissing
The area between her jaws and shoulder can always work as a stimulator for you. Be sensuous while caressing this area. Kiss her neck from behind gently and see her turn on.

Tip 9# Shower Together
Taking a shower together will definitely arouse her. Rub each other with soap accompanied by a massage while touching different parts of her body.

Tip 10# Keep Kissing
Even if you are in the middle of having sex, do not stop kissing her. Even if she likes it dirty, don't forget that she still is a woman who likes to be loved. Your gesture will make her feel special and wanted.

A couple of weeks ago, we headed out to Fort Gordon to visit Hilltop Riding Stables for a nice Saturday morning trail ride. Hilltop is located just about 20 minutes from downtown Augusta. It's great to have such peaceful scenery right outside town.
I've had a little bit of experience riding horses when I was growing up. It had probably been a couple of years since my last horseback ride, but that didn't matter. The folks out at Hilltop do a great job of matching you up to the right horse based on personality and riding experience. My horse for the day was 'Shortcake' but they call her 'Shorty'. We got along great! Hilltop also offers youth horseback riding camps and birthday parties.
We took a 2 hour ride through the trails at the fort, and since most of the woods are shaded the weather was quite pleasant. It was a really pretty, sunny morning, but not too warm. We had a guide at the front and at the end of the line, to make sure that everyone stuck together. They also pointed out some of the sights and helped guide first time riders along the way.
Afterwards, we let our horses cool off and get a drink of water and we cooled off ourselves in the welcome center's air conditioning. It was a great way to spend a Saturday morning in Augusta!

Mungo National Park, NSW
You won't see many landscapes as starkly prehistoric as Mungo National Park. This crinkled landscape of outcrops and shifting sand is part of the Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area, a series of desiccated lakes that once stretched between Willandra Creek and the Lachlan River.
It may have been more than 14,000 years since Lake Mungo in New South Wales had water. But the sight of its shores - a 33-kilometre chain of white dunes known as the Walls of China - is sure to feed your imagination. Don't miss the sunset spectacular, when the striking chain turns yellow, orange and deep wine red.

Bob Seger is finally ready to go back out and show off some of his night moves.
The 65-year-old rocker and his Silver Bullet Band are hitting the road for the first time in 4 years.
Seger's management and record company announced Thursday in a news release that the Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member will kick off a tour in March — his first since 2006-07.
Dates haven't been announced.
The statement said fans can expect to hear classics such as "Night Moves" and "Old Time Rock & Roll" as well as songs off a forthcoming new album.
Seger hasn't released a record of original material since 2006's "Face The Promise."
He does appear on fellow Michigan resident Kid Rock's new album, "Born Free." Seger plays piano on "Collide," which also features Sheryl Crow on vocals.
"Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band will once again deliver their thunderous rock and roll show to major cities across North America beginning in March," the release reads.
Success didn't come fast for the former auto assembly line worker, who began recording in the 1960s but didn't have a top-10 album until the mid-1970s.
After that, though, hit records and singles flowed out of him: "Still the Same," ''Against the Wind," and perhaps his best-known song, "Old Time Rock & Roll" from 1979, which became a pop culture phenomenon when Tom Cruise lip-synched to it in his underwear on the big screen in "Risky Business."
In the years since, Seger's trademark dark hair has turned white and he is seen more often at Detroit Pistons games than on stage or in the recording studio.
But that's about to change with the tour the release said will hit major venues.

WatchBrokers.com was a high-end timepiece consignment shop that has been
seized by the courts. If you've had dealings with WatchBrokers, that
means the courts might have your missing watch.
The take-over, urged along with the state's consumer protection group, is the first ever of its kind. Until Friday, the store held hundreds of expensive watches. Many of the expensive watches were not secured. An investigator says security was so sloppy it would have taken maybe 10 minutes to get inside and loot the place.
"And once I got in here, two of the safes were open," said court appointed receiver Chris Tierney.
Chris Tierney's team, under orders from a Fulton County judge, seized custody of WatchBrokers. It wasn't hard to do. Once inside the glass door of the high end consignment shop, the keys lay next to the security gate and behind the doors of unlocked safes were many name brand watches -- Breitlings, Omegas, Raymond Weil, Cartier, and Tag Hauer to name a few.
The number of expensive watches could number in the hundreds.
"We're going to insure this for $2 million, just because I'm going to be conservative because I just don't know what I have," said Tierney.
Lying around were letters from lawyers, furious customers and the Department of Revenue. But also there were clues -- already-labeled FedEx parcels that might lead investigators to some of the watches' rightful owners.
"I'm hoping that once we have access to the records, we can match up everything in the safe with some inventory records on the system and figure out who actually belongs to what," said Tierney.
The time piece dealer's building sits on coveted real estate. Now it's dirty with cobwebs, roaches and rodent traps.
A year ago, locked cabinets held some of the finest watches anywhere. For more than a year the I-Team heard from angry customers who say WatchBrokers sold their watches for them but refused to give them their money.
In January, the Governor's Office of Consumer Protection got an unprecedented agreement with the company president that he would be held financially responsible if they didn't start returning money.
"Number one, we can bankrupt it, run and hide and put our tails between our legs. Or, we can go to the governor's office and say it's a mess," said WatchBroker's president R.J. Bergh in January.
Now, he's hard to track down. So the state, in another first, took drastic measure to close down a business.
"The kind of parasitic conduct which we have uncovered simply has no place in the marketplace in Georgia," said John Sours of the Governor's Office of Consumer Protection.
If you go to the company's web site, it has been taken over by the court. On the site is contact information if you are trying to locate your watch or to get your money.

we need help with answering the door- dog Q
Hi all,
we are in need of some training tips for greeting visitors at our house. my 8yo sheperd X is a good girl, very friendly, and well trained. but when someone comes to the front door and knocks she goes a little bark crazy, yes it is of course normal to bark when someone comes to the door but this is a little over the top (she is not a barker at anyother time of day except for at the postlady). but she is not being angry aggressive when she barks, she wags her tail and welcomes them warmly when they enter with a big lick and cuddle. the biggest problem is that she scares people (especially those who are not dog people) and annoys the hell out of me as she wont shut up for a good 3-5 minutes. before we open the door i make her go outside most of the time (unless it is her friends) but she barks just as loudly and for just as long when she is out the back. i dont want to stop her barking, i would just like her to stop it when i ask. she even barks at her friends and family that come to visit but she knows and loves these people and animals. how can i control the barking??It drives me crazy and it is made worse by the fact that she is such a good girl in general and i hate the thought of anyone being scared of her as she is just not like that. i wonder if it is a dominance problem, a territory problem or other?? just to note, we have just moved from a farm where she got to greet everyone before they made it to the door and we didnt have such a big problem, she has lived in town before going to the farm so she is not new to this form of living..:D
"Alarm barking" is genetic, and present in most dogs to varying degrees, and usually cannot be stifled completely. German Shepherds are quite prone to this behavior. Dogs do this to alert their "pack" to the presence of an intruder.
Most people want their dogs to bark a warning or alarm when someone is at the door, but want it to stop quickly. To do this, you need to teach your dog "Enough".
To teach "Enough," set up a situation in which your dog will bark, but not excessively; knock on the door, for instance. After one or two barks, stop knocking and make a sound or distraction that will get her to switch her attention to you. If she stops barking, immediately say "Enough" and reward her with a treat and praise. If she does not stop barking, put that delicious treat right in front of her nose. When she stops barking for a second or two say "Enough," wait a few more seconds and if she is quiet, give her the treat and praise.
Timing is critical she must be quiet when you give her the treat or she will think she is being rewarded for continuing to bark. Be sure to say "Enough" when she is quiet, not when she is barking. Later, as she associates "Enough" with being quiet, you can use it as a command to stop barking.
You need to start this training with just one or two people - a crowd is too much stimulation.
Also, make sure you never soothe or comfort your dog when she's barking ("Oh, it's o.k. - it's allright") Dogs see this as PRAISE for barking.
that is FANTASTIC advice, you should be making millions... i will start the training immeadiatly and i will have a jar of goodies on hand near the door. i think you may just have solved this problem. again thank you so much for the advice it is brilliant.:D
hehehe... thanx for providing this advice
i hope it works for us as well!
LR you're brilliant as usual ;)
Hello LR,
I tried using that Enough command with my German Shepard and sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. When it doesn't work I have to open the front door and look outside with Ruger right next to me looking out the door also (Petie is on the couch looking out, and Thor tries to get in between Ruger and me).
My big barker is Ruger. Is there another solution I can try for him. He is very protective of us (especially when my hubby is working) Ruger is so alert that he even barks at the wind (whenhe hears it).
I'm glad thathe is alert like this, but sometimes it gets really annoying (and he wakes up my kids, cuz he's like the engergizer bunny he keeps barking and barking and barking.
You help me in so many ways, I have faith in you that you will have a solution for me also.
Thanks a bunch, sorry I just jumped in here on your post melanie.

German thieves picked up more than they bargained for in a heist just outside Berlin Sunday night when they stole three vans — one of which was loaded with 12 coffins, complete with corpses.
The cargo, en route to a crematorium in Meissen, Saxony, disappeared from an industrial parking lot while the van's driver was inside washing his hands, reported the German news website The Local.
"The driver did everything right," a company spokesman told German newspaper Die Welt, adding that he had even locked the van before walking away.
"We have not found the bodies yet," police spokesman Peter Salender told NBC News.
He added that one of the other vans had been recovered in Poland. A spokesman for the Frankfurt am Oder state prosecutor's office said the case fit the profile of a string of recent van thefts and that the vehicles were probably destined for eastern Europe, reported the French newspaper Le Figaro (link in French).
"The perpetrators were probably not intending to steal 12 bodies," another spokesman for the prosecutor's office said.
The identity of one of the bodies was revealed Thursday when German newspaper Bild ran the headline "Car Thieves Stole My Mother's Body," NBC News reported.

< To: Buckminster Project
< To: Helping_Out_(Buckminster)
< To: Buckminster component meta-data language 1.0 (Reference)
While trying to use Buckminster for both my Java and C++ projects, I realized that Java projects within Eclipse were pretty straightforward but C/C++ projects were much more difficult to manage.
Why is it so hard to use Buckminster with non Java projects ?
Component materialization is much harder in non Java environments because :
- there are no standard way to describe C/C++ projects so you have to write the CSpec file anyway ( contrary to Eclipse Java projects which provides a way to auto generate the CSpec )
- compiling, testing, your code requires to execute programs from outside ( shell scripts, compiler, unit tests and so forth ).
- some of the resources you need to materialize are libraries that are only available as zipped url resources.
- which implies you have to download and unzip them : Buckminster cannot do that for the moment despites its exactly what you expect it to do. So to overcome this issue you have to write ant tasks.
Work flow currently used
The toolchain I created to manage C/C++ projects dependencies is as follows :
- Create Spec components to describe dependencies
- Specify actions like build / clean / rebuild
- those actions have prerequisites pointing to other components (eg: the path to the libTiff include folder)
- Write ant scripts called from buckminster to
- retrieve libraries from urls or retrieve files from archives pointed by url
- execute commands with specific environment variables (eg. calling the compiler with paths to libraries)
- those environments variables are retrieved from Buckminster's action's prerequisites section via Ant actor API (Buckminster)
- Create the script to compile the code ( Makefile or Boost Jamfile or SCons file )
This page is a proposal to extends Buckminster in order to bring users from the non Java world a better experience.
Executor Actor
This actor would add the possibility to execute programs directly from the CSpec without writing Ant Scripts.
- Executes programs or shell scripts
- Sets arguments
- arguments can refer to prerequisites
- Sets environment variables for the execution
- environments variables values can refer to prerequisites
- Sets execution directory
<cs:public name="build" actor="executor"> <cs:actorProperties> <cs:property key="env" value="TIFF_LIB=${tiff.lib};TIFF_INCLUDE=${tiff.include}; VERSION=${VERSION};OSGI_VERSION=${buckminster.version}"/> <cs:property key="shell" value="${compiler} -j2 debug"/> </cs:actorProperties> <cs:properties> <cs:property key="VERSION" value="1.0.0"/> </cs:properties> <cs:prerequisites> <cs:attribute component="mingw-5.1.4" name="compiler" alias="compiler" /> <cs:attribute component="libtiff-3.6.1" name="include" alias="tiff.include" /> <cs:attribute component="libtiff-3.6.1" name="lib" alias="tiff.lib" /> </cs:prerequisites> </cs:public>
Valid properties
This syntax integrates into Buckminster's CSpec Actions.
- env : a list of semi-colon separated environment variable
- inheritEnvVar : if set to something (eg : true), the execution will inherit the environment variables of the session.
- exec : the program to execute
- execDir : the program execution directory (if not set : the component directory)
- shell : a batch file to execute
Note that you have to choose between exec or shell keyword.
All those properties can contain variables.
Those variables are set by surrounding properties or named path with ${}. See examples above.
Fetcher Actor
This actor is used to materialize resources into the component. I'm still not sure this behavior should be provided by an actor or through the materialization process. It seems the actor can be used at will so it's more flexible than the materialization but this point can be discussed.
- fetch single (for the moment)
- log to https sites
- unzip, untar, untargz, untarbz2 files (add 7zip support ?)
- possibility to specify destination directory
- possibility to filter the archive content
- keep hierarchy or flatten folders
<cs:public name="download" actor="fetcher"> <cs:actorProperties> <cs:property key="dir" value="data"/> <cs:property key="options" value="uncompress;flatten;include=*.html;include=*.c"/> <cs:property key="url" value="http://download.osgeo.org/libtiff/tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz"/> </cs:actorProperties> </cs:public>
Valid Properties
- url : the resource to fetch
- dir : the directory where the file(s) should be placed
- if not set dir points to component's location
If the resource you are accessing is protected with basic authentication, you can also specify :
- login : the login to use with basic authentication
- pass : the password to use with basic authentication
Note that both properties have to be set to enable authentication.
- options : a set of options to customize the fetch operation, valid options are :
- uncompress : specify that the resource pointed by the url is an archive and that it should be uncompressed
- flatten : valid only with uncompress. If specified the folder hierarchy is flatten
- include : a regular expression to include specific files only. Note that you can specify multiple include directives in the options line. Regular expressions beginning with the '-' (minus sign) will be considered as an exclusion. See examples below :
Options samples
full options sample, uncompress the archive and flattens the folder hierarchy, including only files in the binaries directory that are not html files
flatten and include keywords will NOT work until the uncompress keyword is set, the following options line will simply copy the url resource locally.

"Downton" doubles down
My Dear Kathleen,
I think I'm still half asleep after last night's late-night Downton double feature! I couldn't settle down until well after 11 p.m. last night! Actually, I was all aflutter going in, what with the Grammys/"Walking Dead"/"Downton" conflict.
It seems to me that all's well has ended well as of last night. Not sure what other drama can emerge in NEXT week's 95-minute finale. Branson and Lord Grantham have found common ground; everyone stopped hating Thomas for a few minutes to help him stay employed; and apparently Mary's sorted out her lady parts so Project Baby is a go.
Although, let's talk about that for a sec. I was secretly hoping Mary was cleverly using some sort of birth control to stave off the baby years for a little while longer. It seems a tad depressing to me that these kids can't have a bit more of a honeymoon period. And what the heck was wrong with her that she necessitated "a small operation"? A cyst? They brushed that off too quickly, but maybe the writers are wary of too much gynecological discussion in one season?
PS. As cute as Matthew is, when he bid Mary to start "making babies" with him, I cringed. I just can't picture those two letting down their guard long enough to actually "make" anything intimate.
Dearest Marisa,
I'm exhausted. What with the snow and shoveling in real life, and then the Grammys horning in on "Downtown," and then I didn't realize we were in for a two-hour episode — whew!
My question is — is Thomas a changed man? Even though he's devious and not very nice, I felt sorry for him. Then he said "I'm not foul." Gulp! I wanted to offer him a job. I could use a footman.
Ms. K,
I, too, was surprised by how moved I was by Thomas's plight. But then again, I bought his sincerity when he was moved to tears by Sybil's death. I like to think he's a changed man, but he's so very good at being bad—I might miss the Devious Mr. T!
Time will tell, I suppose, but I have to say I was absolutely disappointed by Carson, James and Alfred's response to their colleague's sexual revelation. I know it was a different time, but Carson was downright cruel in his summation of Thomas's "foul" lifestyle. I know James was, you know, kind of assaulted and all, but Thomas was misled and certainly wouldn't have jumped James if he knew James liked girls. Their ease at falling under O'Brien's spell and its companion holier-than-thouness was very disappointing. I hope Ivy took proper notice.
Good old Mrs. Hughes, and all her cosmopolitan tolerance, provided a most welcome respite from all that homophobic rubbish. I absolutely love that she wasn't at all bothered by Thomas's lifestyle. Along similar lines, double points to Mrs. Patmore who noted earlier in the episode: "There's nothing wrong with a man who can cook." Once again, she drops some knowledge on these provincial babies.
Enough of Thomas; I think Carson might be gay.
And what about the big-headed baby from last week? Little Sybil turned out to be A-dorable. And had a normal size cranium.
I loved Cousin Rose and all her shenanigans. Imagine that little flapper cavorting with a married man. No sooner does Matthew explain to Rose that "married men who want to seduce young girls always have a horrid wife" Lady Edith discovers her flirting editor is married. And his wife is horrid. Well at least in an insane asylum. That was oh so Jane Eyre-ish.
OK, yeah, what's up with the convenient use of Bronte device re: this alleged wife of Mr. Editor? Come on! Way too melodramatic.
I HATED Rose! We've got plenty of shenanigans elsewhere at Downton to deal with. Now we've got Little Miss Thing to follow around? I was relieved when the Dowager shipped her off to Scotland. That was so beautifully arranged, it was like a Mafia hit! She eavesdropped and played her daughter and granddaughter against each other to get the intel — and then she struck! Bravo, Grandmama. (This is probably why "I'm" a Dowager Countess according to that quiz. Young flibbertigibbets annoy the hell out of me!) I'm not looking forward to the continued Rose storyline next week.
Speaking of characters I hate, how about Branson's brother? A very clever person on Twitter noted, "Why didn't they get Gary Busey to play Branson's brother? He would have been more subtle." Agreed. Maybe the writers were trying to show us how mild Tom is, compared to louts like his brother? In any case, suddenly I'm a big fan of Branson, so here we are. I also don't want Baby "Sibby" (worst nickname ever) to grow up in a garage with that man around! Thank god for Cora and her well-played leverage ("Sybil would've wanted it"). PS. That baby is absolutely gorgeous. Maybe it's the same baby from last week shot at a better angle? They did toss a hat on her...
I love Rose. Did you see her outfits? Fabulous. Actually I think the whole episode rated A-plus for costumes. I loved all that white at the cricket match — the women in those lightweight linen and cotton numbers, lots of covered buttons and pearls. And the men in those white wool v-neck sweaters. Swoon.
We are agreed on the gorgeous clothes—one of my favorite aspects of "Downton." Cricket is a very silly game, but I do love the gear and outfits. Back in the Old Country (New Britain), a cricket league played at the gorgeous Walnut Hill Park on weekends, and they all wore the whites. It was ever so jolly.
So, shall we get on to predictions for the season finale? I'll start: I say this alleged future baby of Matthew and Mary's isn't going to happen perhaps because Matthew will turn out to be unable--he did get that test, after all. Instead, they'll take Baby Sybil, thereby annoying the hell out of Drinky Brother Branson.
I've got more, and I know you've got several ideas, but let's save them for print. In true "Downton" fashion, we'll make this blog a cliffhanger!
Check out the rest of this blog, in which we offer our "Downton Abbey" season finale predictions, in this Sunday's Daybreak section. The "Downton Abbey" season three finale airs at 9 p.m. on PBS stations.

#1 Police Find 5 Horrified Nearly Naked BU Students In Fraternity House

Drudge had this. This is the weirdest story about a hazing I've ever read:
Edited to add: A witness next door said there was loud music and male voices yelling out "Yes, sir!" like they were in the military.
Police Find 5 'Horrified' Nearly Naked BU Students In Fraternity House
BOSTON (CBS) – Five nearly naked college students were found shivering in a Brighton basement Monday, tied together with duct tape.
Boston Police say they found the group terrified and humiliated. There were also signs the Boston University students may have been beaten.
The early morning raid left police officers stunned.
No one answered the door at 24 Ashford Street Monday night, but when police responded early Monday morning, they found the male students circled in the basement, stripped to their underwear.
Police responded to the house after a call about a loud party.
According to police:
"All five were shivering and had horrified and fearful looks on their faces. They were all tied together via duct tape wrist to wrist to form a human chain. Officer asked if they were alright and got no verbal answer. Victim looked right at Officer and with tears coming down his face shook his head from right to left and back indicating no."
Police say several condiment-type items were poured on the students, including flour,coffee grinds, fish sauce, chili sauce, honey, hot sauce, mustard, and empty sardine cans.
The students also had red welts on their backs, investigators said, indicating that they may have been beaten.
Police say it's an underground fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi.
A Boston University spokesperson told WBZ-TV that members of the same unrecognized fraternity were already under investigation for a previous incident.
Last month, the school cut ties with a sorority on Ashford Street after another alleged hazing incident.
"We hold all of our students accountable for any violation of the code of student responsibilities, whether it happens on or off campus. We are very concerned for the alleged victims," B.U. spokesman Colin Riley said in a statement.
There were no arrests, but police are considering criminal charges.

That's weird. But why would people volunteer to go through something like this?
(For the record most of my knowledge of fraternities was gained from Animal House)

Does this mean that they are on double-secret probation?
