Pacific Brands is poised to sell off famous brands like Hard Yakka and King Gee after forecasting another difficult year in 2015.
The clothing and textiles distributor has flagged another "material" fall in earnings in 2015 and said the outcome of a strategic review currently underway could have a material impact on its outlook.
The owner of Bonds, Sheridan, Berlei and Hard Yakka withheld its final dividend after rising costs and weak wholesale sales continued to squeeze margins, leading to a 28.2 per cent fall in underlying net profit to $53.0 million in 2014.
The company also announced plans to sell its struggling workwear business to Wesfarmers' Industrial and Safety division for $180 million as part of a strategic review and appointed chief financial officer David Bortolussi as chief executive to replace John Pollaers.
Mr Pollaers stepped down in July after a falling out with the board over the company's future direction. It is understood he was opposed to the sale of the workwear business, which owns iconic brands King Gee, Hard Yakka and Stubbies.
While sales rose 3.8 per cent to $1.322 billion, earnings before interest tax and significant items fell 25.3 per cent to $91.2 million, in line with Pacific Brands' $90 million to $93 million guidance, which was cut by more than $10 million in June.
Earnings from the underwear division fell 18.6 per cent to $63.6 million, despite a 7.7 per cent rise in sales, as margins were crimped by higher discounting and clearance activity, the weaker Australian dollar and rising costs.
Earnings from Sheridan Tontine fell 21.5 per cent to $13.9 million despite a 12.1 per cent rise in sales following significant investment in brands, new category development and higher promotional activity.
In workwear, earnings before interest and tax fell 41.1 per cent to $22.1 million despite a 1.6 per cent rise in sales and the division incurred a bottom line loss of $247.2 million after goodwill impairment charges of $270 million in the first half of 2014.
The brand collective division, which includes footwear brands Grosby and Hush Puppies, reported a $0.9 million loss before impairment charges and a $22.3 million loss after writedowns as sales fell 7.9 cent to $204.5 million.
The underlying net profit result was slightly ahead of consensus forecasts around $52 million.
PacBrands also booked one-off costs of $312 million, or $277.5 million after tax, including non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $242.3 million, other asset writedowns of $16.2 million, and restructuring costs of $32.9 million. These one off costs took total impairment charges and restructuring costs over the last six years to more than $1.2 billion and led to a bottom line loss of $224.5 million in 2014.
The outlook for 2015 looked bleak.
PacBrands said sales had risen in the first eight weeks of 2015 and were expected to be higher over the year, underpinned by new retail and online stores. But gross margins were expected to come under more pressure due to increased competition and foreign exchange movements, while costs of doing business were expected to rise.
"EBIT is expected to be down materially (but up on second half 2014 EBIT of $36 million)," the company said.
Mr Bortolussi, who has been leading a review of Pacific Brands, costs and strategy, joined the company in June 2009 as chief financial and operating officer after a long career in the consumer and retail sectors. Prior to joining Pacific Brands, he held senior management and consulting roles at Foster's Group, McKinsey & Co and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
"We are very pleased David has agreed to step up to the leadership role. David's background and deep knowledge and experience in the company see him uniquely qualified to take on the role," said chairman Peter Bush.
Pacific Brands' group financial controller David Muscat has been appointed acting chief financial officer pending appointment of a permanent CFO.
The acquisition of workwear will enable Wesfarmers' industrial and safety unit to expand into new customer segments in industrial and corporate wear in Australia and New Zealand and move into new markets overseas including the UK.

As an Engineering and Operations leader in a high-growth privately held company, it's my responsibility to deliver the most features in the shortest amount of time with the highest quality at the lowest risk. In my experience, this is not achieved by browbeating teams into working longer hours, or writing scads of detailed requirements, but to establish a process that is iterative and transparent, and a culture founded on collaboration and communication.
High performance teams are typically flat (not hierarchical), self-organizing, and cross-functional. Adopting the following guidelines will help you build a team that maximizes their combined strengths to outperform expectations while having a great time!
Keys to building high performance teams
Alignment of Tactical Deliverables with Strategic Objectives
It's important that your team understands how their day-to-day contributions 'fit' the strategic goals of the company. This is especially true in a high-growth start-up since the team are also (typically) shareholders and have a vested interest in ensuring the work they do is positively contributing to the company's success. Share the strategic goals and how specific features and release deliverables will help the company achieve them. Also, highlight sales and customer successes where particular features or capabilities played a key role.
Team-based Goals
Measuring the team on their collective accomplishments increases teamwork by creating a sense of joint ownership and accountability. By focusing on team goals, rather than individual goals, team members will raise issues earlier (so as not to impede the team's progress), and seek ways to help one another to complete tasks. Mentoring and knowledge transfer will also happen more naturally as teams seek ways to become more productive.
Adopting agile practices will help increase transparency to your team's progress, provide earlier visibility to issues and potential delays and establish a regular time for the team to reflect on what they've accomplished. The best way to increase transparency is to adopt Agile software development practices. At Genius, we follow the tenets of both Scrum and Lean software development. Our daily stand-up meetings keep everyone in the team on the same page and a product backlog that is visible to the whole company ensures that there is clarity to what's on tap for future releases.
Self-organizing Teams
While on the surface this may seem counter-intuitive to those who are more familiar with hierarchical organizations; self-organizing teams are highly effective. Providing teams with clearly understood expectations and allowing them to self-organize to meet those goals – in combination with a transparent process – results in highly motivated and effective teams. Technical teams understand how each of their skills can be best leveraged to achieve the desired result and take greater ownership in the outcome rather than simply following management direction.
Communication and Collaboration
The most effective teams communicate and collaborate regularly. Creating a culture where open communication is valued and encouraged will ensure that your teams seek clarity of understanding, raise issues or concerns openly, that they are willing to challenge the status quo and that they validate ideas before implementing them. At Genius, everyone (whether junior or senior) is capable of having the best idea in the room and is encouraged to share their thinking. This results in a better product and creates an environment where everyone on the team is contributing fully.
Communication must happen at every level – from technical discussions to updates on the business. As a leader it's important to set the example by being a great communicator and by demonstrating that you value everyone's contributions and that there are no negative implications to speaking up.
Establish Accountability
Establishing ownership for deliverables, in addition to setting clear goals and measuring the results, is key to improving the performance of your team. It's best to establish a relatively short timeframe to meet a set of goals. The list of goals should be determined with the team so that they are clear on the expectations and their ability to meet them. At Genius, we have adopted 2 weeks sprints and release new features to production every 2 weeks.
While it's desirable for the team to deliver on all their commitments, absolute perfection in estimation is impossible, It is important to be flexible to some degree – when issues that may affect the team's ability to deliver on their commitments come up early they can be dealt with effectively. This is especially important at the outset as your team is transitioning to a results-based model. Remember, the goal is to build a framework for success so that the team will be motivated to do more.
Measure, Review and Adapt
Performance improvement can only be made if you are willing to openly discuss things that have not gone well and to identify improvements that will increase the team's rate of success. Examples can range from how the team is organizing itself to how well they (really) understood the requirements. It's also important to reflect on what went well and to discuss how the team can adopt this into their process. Keep a record of what you've discussed so you can periodically look back with the team and see how far you've come.
Prioritize Career Development
High performance teams need (and expect) to be recognized for their achievements. Not only on an ongoing basis (related to deliverables), but also in career advancement. Provide clear definitions of what's required to achieve greater responsibility and establish a regular dialog where you articulate areas of strength and opportunities to improve. This will inspire high performers to step up to meet the next level.
Implement Source Control and Build Management
One of the keys to success in an agile environment is continuous integration (check-ins to a single codebase) and continuous builds. Having effective and automatic builds ensures that the team is alerted at the earliest time about build problems. This is best accomplished with a Build Engineer whose responsibility it is to ensure that code is branched (and merged) appropriately, that builds are correctly executed and that problems are investigated.
Having led several Engineering and Operations teams over the past 20 years, I have seen the transformation and the results of adopting these practices multiple times. As you begin to adopt these with your team, don't forget the most important thing of all…CELEBRATE! At Genius, we celebrate (as a company) the teams' accomplishments every two weeks at the Sprint Review. We also celebrate our most recent release at the weekly Engineering and TechOps meeting and recognize what's been completed daily at the stand-up meetings.
Not only does this give the team the recognition they deserve, but it also provides regular feedback for how they are doing. At Genius, the team has had a lot to celebrate with over 70 consecutive successful sprints and 15 on-time releases since adopting agile; providing new capabilities and features that meet our customer's ongoing business goals.
Good luck! I look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences.

Dear Lifehacker,
I have a collection of skin care products and other toiletries that are so old I don't even remember when I bought them. Do things like moisturizer, shampoo, or perfume go bad? If so, when should I toss them out?
Cosmetics Collector
Dear CC,
Like most things in life, skin care products, toiletries, and beauty products don't last forever. Once opened, the clock starts ticking on these items, because exposure to air, light, and bacteria can break them down. Even left sealed, things like heat and humidity can cause products to degrade over time.
Expired products aren't necessarily a big deal. Sometimes it just means they lose effectiveness. For example, an expired perfume could smell a little off or your anti-dandruff shampoo no longer keep your mane flake-free. Other times, however, an expired product can be irritating or cause other problems, as with using expired sunscreen and then toasting yourself in the sun.
Below are some rules of thumb and general guidelines for different cosmetic products so we can take some of the guesswork out of how long to keep them. (For the rest of this article, we're going to use the word "cosmetics" for all these kinds of items, since that's how the FDA defines them.)
How to Check Your Products
You won't find an expiration date printed on most cosmetic products, thanks to a lack of regulations. In the US, only the products the FDA considers drugs are required to have an expiration date; these include sunscreen, acne medicines, and products that treat dandruff. If you buy European products, you might have more luck, since the European Union has a directive requiring an expiration date to be shown—at least for those products that last less than 30 months.
Required or not, some manufacturers do print expiration dates on their products. If it's not clearly printed on the container as something like "Exp 12/2015," look for what's called a Period After Opening (PAO) date. This is a picture of a jar with something like "24M" on it, which means the product should be good for 24 months after opening. Sometimes, the shelf life is noted by a special (undecipherable) batch code printed on the container. You can look up these codes for major brands at CheckCosmetic.net.
As with milk and other foods, though, expiration dates on cosmetic products aren't always reliable. When in doubt, toss anything that has changed in smell, color, or texture. Trust your eyes and nose! Also know that all natural products have a more limited life span and can go bad much sooner than products that include preservatives. If water is the first ingredient, it generally has the shortest shelf life after opening because the water encourages bacteria to grow—enemy #1.
The Shelf Life of Various Cosmetics
Sources such as skin care and makeup expert Paula Begoun, The Los Angeles Times, and Real Simple generally agree on when to keep or toss specific items. The chart above is a kind of cheat sheet for these guidelines, with more details below.
Skin and Hair Care
- Moisturizers, Face Creams and Eye Creams: 6 months to 1 year. The danger with expired creams isn't just possible less effectiveness, but also irritation and possible bacterial infection. Ones that are in a pump are less likely to introduce bacteria, while creams in jars should be tossed after 6-9 months.
- Sunscreen: 1 year. This is regulated by the FDA, so it comes with an expiration date usually of one year. Store it away from the sun (perhaps in a cooler) to prevent the formula from becoming unstable.
- Anti-aging or anti-acne products: up to 1 year, depending on the ingredients. As the New York Times reports, anti-acne products containing Benzoyl peroxide have a shelf life of three months once opened. Products with antioxidants such as retinol, glycolic acid, and vitamin C also break down more quickly.
- Shampoos, Conditioners, and Hair Styling Products: 1-2 years opened, 3 years unopened. Water and air that gets into the bottles could break down the formulas.
- Loofas and bath sponges: 3 weeks for loofas, 7 weeks for sponges. That may seem pretty short, but consider the moist environment and all the holes inviting bacteria to grow.
- Deodorant/Anti-perspirant: 3 years or check the expiration date, if available. Outside Online notes that deodorant really doesn't lose that much efficacy or run the risk of bacterial infection (because it is an anti-bacterial product after all).
- Shaving creams and shaving soaps: 2 years or perhaps longer if stored properly.
- Toothpaste: Check the expiration date, printed on toothpastes containing fluoride. It's usually 2 years after manufacturing.
- Mouthwash: 3 years from manufacture date, also usually printed on the bottle.
- Soap: 3 years, according to manufacturers, for both bar and liquid soaps. Yes, even soap can expire, particularly if they contain essential oils. Some bars seem to last forever, though, and the worst they get is getting cracked and dried up.
Makeup and Fragrances:
- Perfume/Cologne: 2 years. As lovely as the bottles might look on the counter, store them away from sunlight and humidity.
- Mascara and liquid eye liner: 3 months. Get a new one every season and toss even sooner if it's dried out or if you've had an eye infection.
- Liquid foundation and concealer: 6 months to 1 year
- Powder-based cosmetics (e.g., eyeshadows and powder foundation): 2 to 3 years
- Lipsticks and Glosses: 2 to 3 years. If you've had a cold sore, toss your lip products sooner.
- Eye and lip pencils: 3 to 5 years. Sharpen before use to preserve them.
- Nail polish: 1-2 years. You can usually tell by the gooeyness of the polish.
To help you keep track of all these dates, write on the label your purchase date and when to toss it. A product like Timestrip can save you the effort.
How to Store Your Cosmetics
How you store your products is even more important than these date guidelines (which are really just estimates). To make them last as long as possible, keep items away from heat, sunlight, humidity, and air. Look for pumps instead of jars, for example, and make sure your hands are clean before use so you don't contaminate your products. The FDA says:
Consumers should be aware that expiration dates are simply "rules of thumb," and that a product's safety may expire long before the expiration date if the product has not been properly stored. Cosmetics that have been improperly stored - for example, exposed to high temperatures or sunlight, or opened and examined by consumers prior to final sale - may deteriorate substantially before the expiration date. On the other hand, products stored under ideal conditions may be acceptable long after the expiration date has been reached.
Just remember: use it or lose it.

Superfund Research Program
The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 created the SRP within the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) to provide a broad university-based research program capable of addressing the wide array of scientific uncertainties facing the national Superfund program.
SARA established a broad mandate and set of goals for the NIEHS to pursue within the SRP. These mandates include the development of:
- methods and technologies to detect hazardous substances in the environment
- advanced techniques for the detection, assessment, and evaluation of the effects on human health of hazardous substances
- methods to assess the risks to human health presented by hazardous substances
- basic biological, chemical, and physical methods to reduce the amount and toxicity of hazardous substances
In the Program's first year, 1987, the SRP awarded four university-based research programs with funds of $3 million. In the intervening four years, additional competitions were held and the SRP added five new programs in 1989 and two programs in 1990. In 1992, the Program held a full and open competition. In 1992, the SRP funded 18 grants with funds of over $30 million. Between 1995 and 2000, the size and the funding of the SRP stabilized. Although the number of funded programs remained the same during this time period, both the 1995 and the 2000 grant re-competitions resulted in a one-third turnover of grantees. Consequently, today's Program is a mix of original and new grantees.
Until 2000, the SRP received its funds as pass through dollars from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In 2000, Congress chose to provide Program funds directly to NIEHS, as a line item in the Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development and Independent Agencies Appropriation. This enabled the SRP to become more flexible, both in use of funding mechanisms and in implementing changes to the award cycle.

and Erin Brandt, Metropolitan Area Planning Council
In the absence of leadership at the federal level to enact comprehensive climate and clean energy legislation, local municipalities and community organizations are adopting policies, strategies, and partnerships that promote energy efficiency, save money, and reduce pollution. This increased level of activity in promoting energy efficiency at the local level is the focus of a white paper released today by ACEEE and the MIT Energy Efficiency Strategy Project, The Role of Local Governments and Community Organizations as Energy Efficiency Implementation Partner: A Review of Trends and Case Studies.
The white paper presents eight case studies from communities across the country and showcases how local governments and civil society can support energy efficiency efforts through enabling policies and program partnerships.
- Enabling policies are local regulatory requirements or incentives put in place by a municipality to improve market conditions for energy efficiency investments. Such policies can be implemented with or without coordination with utilities, and can include building energy codes, energy use disclosure requirements, innovative financing mechanisms, and non-financial incentives, such as expedited building permitting. Related case studies from Austin, Texas, Berkeley, California, New York City, and Washington, D.C. are included in the white paper.
- Program partnerships are arrangements between one or more energy utilities and one or more local government and/or community organizations to implement an energy efficiency program. Partnerships usually identify specific contributions and roles for each of the parties involved that can improve a program's delivery, participation, and energy savings. Through a partnership model, municipalities and community partners leverage existing relationships, networks, and expertise to promote energy efficiency, often while simultaneously addressing additional community priorities, such as economic development, job creation, and sustainability. Programs in Chicago, Marshfield and New Bedford, Massachusetts and Portland, Oregon are covered in the white paper.
Energy utilities, municipalities, and community organizations have unique and important attributes, such as expertise, human and financial resources, information, and relationships that when combined can lead to improved program and policy implementation and greater energy savings.
Drawing on these insights, our organizations and others around the country are seeking to encourage additional local energy innovation. The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) launched its Local Energy Action Program (LEAP) in fall 2011. Through LEAP, MAPC is working with communities in the Boston region to plan for and launch innovative and financially sustainable projects that reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in the municipal, residential, and commercial sectors. In each participating community, MAPC will work over a two-year period to build local capacity to support long-range energy goals and strategies by bringing together municipal leadership, utilities, community groups, local businesses, and residents to establish enabling policies and program partnerships that support local investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy.
ACEEE continues to expand its suite of technical assistance resources designed for local governments and other local stakeholders. These tools include the Local Energy Efficiency Policy Calculator, or LEEP-C (a quantitative analysis tool to help localities decide which energy efficiency policies make the most sense for them); a series of detailed case studies on local programs and policies from around the country; state and local toolkits; and new publications on topics relevant to local stakeholders being added frequently.
This white paper on local implementation is the first in a series of three local energy publications to be released by ACEEE over the coming months. The next report will review the recent successes and challenges of communities undertaking strategic energy planning. The third report will highlight the variety of sustainable funding options available to local governments to enable them to continue leadership in energy efficiency in the face of expiring federal stimulus dollars.

State Rep. John Merrill, R-Tuscaloosa, said Friday that he's considering running for statewide office in 2014. Merrill said he's received encouragement from various individuals and groups when he has spoken to them about the possibility of seeking the secretary of state job.
MONTGOMERY | State Rep. John Merrill, R-Tuscaloosa, said Friday that he's considering running for statewide office in 2014.
"I am seriously considering being a candidate for secretary of state in 2014," Merrill said in a telephone interview.
Beth Chapman, the current secretary of state, will be eligible to seek re-election because of term limits.
Merrill said he's received encouragement from various individuals and groups when he has spoken to them about the possibility of seeking the secretary of state job.
Merrill, 48, a bank employee, is a former public school system spokesman and was a student body president at the University of Alabama. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 2010 and his term will end in November 2014.
"He's got a lot of work to do," said William Stewart of Tuscaloosa, a retired University of Alabama political science professor. "I know he's been traveling around the state and visiting the Republican parties to get known."
Stewart compared Merrill to former legislator Glen Browder of Anniston. Browder wasn't well-known in the mid-1980s, but he traveled around the state before seeking statewide office.
"He wasn't that well-known, but he got known and went on to Congress," Stewart said.
Merrill said he's not making an official announcement, but he is beginning to lay groundwork for a statewide run.
"I've begun to contact people throughout the state including members of the Legislature, statewide officeholders, party leaders, community leaders and elected officials throughout the state of Alabama," he said.
"I'm very excited about the opportunity to consider this as a potential run at the statewide level," he said.
The secretary of state is a constitutional officer. He or she is the state's chief election officer and is responsible for public documents. The secretary of state serves a four-year term and cannot serve three consecutive terms.
Merrill said he first became interested in the position when he was 14 and a candidate came to Tuscaloosa, which allowed his father to explain what the secretary of state does.
"My time in Montgomery has given me renewed interest," he said.
He said he's had contact with the secretary of state's office on behalf of a constituent who had an international adoption issue.
"I have also been working with key business leaders throughout the state who have an interest in the way that office runs," he said.
Merrill said that a series of stories about extraordinary voting registration and participation numbers in the August Uniontown voting solidified his belief in the sanctity of elections.
"The election recently held where we had 125 percent of the population actually participating, I was very disturbed to hear about that," Merrill said.
Attorney General Luther Strange said he was looking into the Uniontown voting.

Do you have what it takes to trace your family tree through the ages?
Do you have what it takes to trace your family tree through the ages? If you're going to thrive as a genealogist—and more important, enjoy your hobby—you'll need to possess these five characteristics:
Inquisitiveness: Genealogists are like detectives. Curiosity will motivate you to solve the mystery of your past.
Patience: Don't expect to search a handful of Web sites, hit a couple of libraries and walk away with a complete family tree. "Genealogy is a lifetime pursuit that is never 'finished,'" says Croom. "It takes time to research, to hear from queries, to receive materials from archives, and to learn about each place where ancestors lived and how to research ancestors from there."
Politeness: You've heard the expression, "You'll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." Keep that in mind when you visit courthouses, libraries and archives. Don't waylay busy staffers with a long-winded account of your ancestry. Be courteous, be brief, and you'll be rewarded.
Attention to detail: Sometimes a seemingly insignificant clue is the key to solving a family tree puzzle—for instance, the props in a picture might tell you when it was taken. Your success rests on sweating the small stuff.
Problem-solving ability: In genealogy, answers don't always stare you in the face. When you uncover conflicting information or find that the record trail has petered out, you'll have to think critically, challenge your assumptions and get creative.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) Rookie Andre Drummond's putback with 35 seconds remaining lifted the Detroit Pistons to a 101-99 win over the Toronto Raptors in a preseason game Wednesday night.
Drummond put the Pistons ahead 100-99 after rebounding teammate Will Bynum's miss, and Detroit held on. The Pistons won despite going 0 for 13 from 3-point range. Toronto was 11 of 26.
Greg Monroe had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Pistons and Brandon Knight added 14 points. Drummond had 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting. The first-round draft pick had seven rebounds.
DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors with 17 points and John Lucas added 16.

Lawmakers as part of a last-minute business tax package on Saturday passed a bill to increase from 25 percent to 30 percent the rebates allowed for television shows, reviving a plan that had been vetoed by the governor a day earlier. The proposal also effectively increases the $50 million annual cap on payouts to the industry by letting unused funds roll over from one year to the next.
In vetoing the initial proposal, Gov. Susana Martinez said she supported Hollywood but could not give tax cuts to just one industry if lawmakers refused her request to pass a broader package of business tax cuts. In a last-minute deal, the Legislature complied, and Martinez has promised to sign off on the new film incentives proposal.
The proposal puts the state among the top for television incentives domestically, according to Wayne Rauschenberger, chief operating officer of Albuquerque Studios.
"We're excited," he said Wednesday, noting the popular television series "Breaking Bad" is wrapping up its final show at the studios next month.
"We are already getting inquiries. … The television season really starts to pick up around May, so we are expecting between now and May to get more calls."
Another popular showed filmed in Albuquerque, "In Plain Sight," ended its final season at I-25 Studios last year.
Rauschenberger said television series are crucial business for studios because you know they will be back every year.
"Feature films tend to spend more … but you never know which one is coming next," he said.
In addition to the increased rebate, Rauschenberger said a provision of the bill that allows $10 million in unused subsidies to carry over to the next year is important for attracting television productions because they have smaller budgets and work on shorter time frames so they need a guarantee their rebates will be made promptly. Under current law, the rebates are doled out on a first-come, first-served basis until the cap is reached. With the provision that allows unused money to rollover, the cap effectively increases after slow years, like the past few.
The industry has been struggling through a slowdown in New Mexico, which film officials have blamed on the economy and Martinez's imposition of the rebate cap after she took office two years ago.
But Ann Lerner, head of the city of Albuquerque's film office, said things are picking up and she expects momentum from the new legislation.
"We're busy, the state is definitely busy," she said.

Housing prices are still shooting upward in Stockton, though a report released Monday serves as a reminder that the unusually rapid increase can't last forever.
Housing prices are still shooting upward in Stockton, though a report released Monday serves as a reminder that the unusually rapid increase can't last forever.
Prices went up 1.4 percent in July compared with the previous month, according to the report by Lender Processing Services Inc.
That's the second-largest increase in the nation.
Don't pop the cork quite yet. Just one month earlier, Stockton ranked No. 1 in the nation with a 2.6 percent increase in housing prices. May came in at 2.3 percent and April was 2.8 percent.
In fact, July was the first month since January in which the increase was less than 2 percent.
"For monthly appreciation, 1.4 percent is huge, but it's actually down a little bit from where it has been," said Jeffrey Michael, director of the Business Forecasting Center at University of the Pacific. "We expect that it's coming down, and it should be coming down" as more properties are listed for sale.
Monday's report does not break down Stockton-specific numbers on a yearly basis, but a comparable market in Las Vegas was up 25.6 percent from the same time last year, while Sacramento was up 23.6 percent. To continue that pace, monthly prices would have to increase by about 2 percent - and Stockton fell short of that in July.
Stockton was among the hardest-hit cities in the nation by the housing crisis, and so its initial rebound has been sharper than many other communities.
But in a more stable environment, housing prices would appreciate perhaps 3 percent or 4 percent an entire year, Michael said - or maybe one-quarter of 1 percent per month.
So, a 1.4 percent gain in a single month is still a "really big number," he said. "It may be down from where it was in the spring and early summer, but it's still a very large number."

Through all of that, I just had to finish my latest "That Was A What?!" project. I'm starting to believe that the best full body massage has nothing on the sheer sense of relaxation I get from sanding and painting a piece of wood (as long as I don't start sweating...I hate sweating). So, anyway, a few months ago (okay, several months ago--I recall a Christmas tree being in the corner) I decided to do a wall of black and white photos.
The wall where I have the photos leads from the family room into the kitchen, and with the couch floating in the middle of the room the walk space is pretty narrow, so I needed a skinny table. I searched online and fell in love with this table by Restoration Hardware:
But, the price is listed at $1195-$1395. Yes, thousands. No, I don't think so. I do love it though. And the top of the table reminded me of some closet doors I had in my first college apartment. Could I, would I, should I...make the console table out of closet doors???
I could and I did! Wrote a story 'bout it, wanna hear it...here it go (yes, that's my homage to Calhoun Tubbs, In Living Color, circa 1992):
1) Headed over to this salvage door place in Midtown Atlanta that I pass every week on my way to White Provisions for the best shrimp po' boy in Atlanta. Got a set of bifold closet doors. The sales guy said $35, I said $25. I was thinking more like $10, but $25 is still less than $1195-$1395. They were too long, and hollow, but the guy offered to cut them down to the size I needed, added wood pieces to fill in the hollow gaps, and sanded the ends back down. So, I guess I got my $25 worth.
2) Went home, sanded those bad boys down, primed them, and painted them gray. They looked really dull, and I could just hear them telling me, "Nikki, we want to be fabulous, we want to shine, darling!" So I grabbed the bottle of Valspar Metal and Patina glaze I had left over from another project:
Those doors knew I was about to do something special to them! I could tell they knew they would never be the same.
They ended up like this:
3) For the legs, I went on Craigslist and started searching for those curvy, chunky legs that are on the Restoration Hardware table. After finding nothing by the description of "curvy, chunky legs" (at least nothing that I wanted anything to do with...happily married, thank you very much), I did some Googling and learned that they're called balustrades. So, I went back to Craigslist and searched for balustrades, and Plah-Dow! A guy had a porch railing with eight balustrades he was selling for $35. Of course I said, "$35! Good lawd, that's a lotta money." But he wasn't budging and $35 divided by 8 comes out to be only $4.38 per balustrade, and $35 is still less than $1195-$1395, so I got them.
4) Took them home to my man and asked him to pry the balustrades from the rail. Here they are free from bondage--sanded, painted and glazed:
5) Time to put Ms.Thang together!
And that, my friends, is the story of how closet doors became a console. So, whaddya think?
Oh, yea, here's the cost breakdown:
Balustrades-$17.52 (I used 4 at $4.38 each; 4 left for another table or something)
Total: $42.52! Sure beats $1195-$1395.
Now, whaddya think?

How our Price Promise works:
We'll look into any Price Promise claim as long it's for a current booking with LateRooms.com and it meets certain conditions, including:

- You've cancelled your LateRooms.com booking
- You make a late booking – less than 24 hours before the arrival date
- You find a lower rate on a website that doesn't reveal the hotel until after you've booked
How to make a claim

Hot pools and top cafes in the North Island
An adventure into the world of top cafes and the best in holiday park hot pools scattered throughout New Zealand's North Island.
Traveling through the North Island last July and August we have labeled the "hot springs and top cafés" journey. Thanks to the weather our usual forays into the far reaches and side roads were very limited.
We did get to enjoy what is offered throughout the North Island in the way of holiday parks with hot and cozy respite from the rains and cold. We got to check out how bad our bus handles rain-soaked greasy grounds and get to know the campground operators better when they fired up the tractor to give us a helping hand. All were always pleasant and accommodating. Thanks to all of you.
Our stay at the Awakeri Hot Springs near Whakatane was a luxury. As the weather cracked up we luxuriated in the thermal pools. A great place with fantastic hosts Kevin & Fiona Haig.
Having to spend some time in Tauranga this trip we chose to be close to town with handy access of the Silver Birch Holiday Park where Reece and Judi are the gracious hosts. Oh, by the way, there also is a comfortable thermal pool. As I mentioned earlier one of our daily requirements is to enjoy well made coffee. In Tauranga we always make sure to go to Alimento, 72 First Avenue. We consider this one of the finest in the country for the food, coffee and staff.
For a top thermal resort it is hard to beat DeBretts in Taupo a Four Star Holiday Park on St Hgwy 5 overlooking Lake Taupo. Soak away here at the adjacent Taupo Hot Springs.
Downtown Taupo we discovered a café with a top notch owner and barista who really knows his stuff when it comes to creating a delicious coffee, Dean at the Brew Café on a small side street - 4 Marama Arcade. If you enjoy the best in your espresso don't miss this one.
If heading south give the spa pool at the Tongariro Holiday Park a go off SH 47 via Taupo. Not a bad place to hang out also during trout season and if you enjoy walks I understand the Tongariro Crossing is one of the best.
Heading on north still dodging weather a stop at the Rotorua Thermal Park that has always been a top favourite that has a wonderful spa pool that helped us forget it was nasty out there.
Still treating ourselves to a hot springs winter we decided to stop at the Opal Hot Springs
Just outside of Matamata. With the stars out bright for a change we spent a part of our evening taking full advantage of the pools. Dave and Gwyn are fantastic hosts. Thank you for the tractor pull. In Matamata you have one of the finest coffee cafes in the country at Espresso to Go. With both the hot springs and the top coffee in this area it was hard to move on.
Discovered a new (to us) café in Waihi Beach called the Hot Pipi that we truly enjoyed for their coffee and their friendliness. Be sure to stop by if in the area and coffee is your thing.
The next hot springs we headed for was the Miranda Holiday Park one of our favourites. Hard to pull away from there when the hot pools are perfect. Every night after dinner we had our treat in hot pool luxury. Great people in charge also.
The weather took a break and gave us some fine sunny days so we headed over to Port Waikato where we stayed at the Port Waikato Holiday Park next to the famous "sunset" beach. Talk about congeniality - you won't do better than with the owners Colin and Christine Brock. They took the park over in 2002 and by 2004 they had won Jason's Business Turnaround Award and the AA Guides Spirit of Hospitality award. It is a family affair with children Clinton, Kaylene and Louisa. Kaylene has a couple of friendly goats that are really hard case but not much help. Colin told me he had been coming to this camp for 35 years before buying it and Christine's great great grandparents were married in Port Waikato in 1866. I guess that is as local as it gets!
Our tour took us all over the area to the west of Manukau Harbour visiting the Manakau Heads and the towns of Pukekohe, and Waiuku plus spent an evening at the Clarks Beach Holiday Park. Mark, the owner, has done one fine job of creating a superb park that is surrounded on two sides by water and the third side by a golf course. All in all the area is a surprising place that is still very country but so close to the big city.
Another place we really enjoy touring around is north of Auckland in the Matakana and Leigh area. Matakana has one of the best Saturday Farmer's Markets and is becoming a wonderful place to visit with the wineries, galleries in the area and for us two new cafes that had just opened the Black Dog, who roasts their own beans, and the Matakana Patisserie where you can find the best of pastry. In Leigh the well known Sawmill Café has become nationally known for its food and ambience. We also enjoyed the coffee that was a blend provided by the Black Dog Roastery.
So even though the weather kept me from doing much photography we took advantage of its temperament and tried to soak away our disappointment in as many hot springs as we could and discover as many of the best cafes as we could. By the way we just put on line for the coffee industry our website that introduces all the best cafes and the roasters in New Zealand. If you would like to know of our finds as we travel please have a look at the coffee site at: New Zealand Coffee Guide.

By – Caitlin Johnson
Your resume is the biggest tool that will land you the job you want and need. No matter what position or career level you are at, there are still standards and below are the rules that if you follow, will put you ahead of the competition.
The Basics
1.Keep it one page!!
The one rule to rule them all – One page is widely accepted as "best practice," unless you are a partner or executive somewhere. Remember that the purpose of your resume is to show what makes you a great candidate for the job, not to showcase everything you have ever done
2. Proofread for spelling and grammar errors
Most hiring managers or recruiters will throw out your resume the second they see one spelling error. It is a painful process but proofreading your resume several times is so, so important. If you suck at proofreading – enlist a friend's help.
3. Stick to the correct tense
It may seem like an easy rule to not follow but once again it can hurt you in the eyes of the hiring manager. If something on your resume happened in the past, use past tense (organized, trained, managed) and if you are still in the role use present tense (organize, train, manage)
4. Avoiding first person pronouns
Words like "I" or "my" or "me" have no place on your resume. Example: instead of writing something like "I supervised a committee of ten" just simply write "supervised a committee of ten."
5. Include context
Context means including what city and state your work experience or education took place in and include dates. Both are equally important!
6. Label your resume appropriately
When saving your resume title it with a professional description. Recruiters always see the name of the file and don't forget that they receive dozens of resumes everyday. Make it clear whose resume they are clicking on. Example: FirstName_LastName_Resume.pdf.
7. Save and send as a PDF
While saving your document, it is critical to save it as a PDF, not a Word document. Saving as a PDF freezes it as an image that will look the same on every computer. AKA, your formatting, font, and styling could look very different depending on the computer, programs, or operating system the hiring managers are opening it with.
Digging a Little Deeper
8. A logical structure
Chronological order is the default but it's not always the best way to make your case and showcase your experience. Check out our past article on how to best organize your resume to show who you are and where you want to go.
9. Readability – organization and visual appeal
Make your resume super clear and very easy-to-read. Shrinking your font is one way to fit more on your resume but never go smaller than a 10-point font. Also bold (and perhaps capitalize) each section title and possibly the job titles. Stay consistent in what you have bolded and/or capitalized and use it sparingly. Think, "What do I want to stick out most to the person reading this?"
10. Consistency
Keep verb tense consistent, keep formatting consistent, keep the font consistent. If one bullet point has a period at the end, all bullet points must have a period at the end. If you've bolded one of your job titles, bold them all!
11. Use numbers and quantity
This is a big one! Everyone says they excelled in their previous jobs but numbers, percentages, and supporting facts are going to prove just how much you excelled. Even if your position doesn't involve numbers you can still incorporate them. Example: "Led promotional committee of 8 and presented sales plans to an audience of 50-60 students," or "Handled scheduling of 10-15 employees a week."
12. Leave out references
Don't take up precious real estate on your resume by listing your references. You don't even need to add "references available upon request," hiring managers know they can request your references and usually will… later in the hiring process.
13. Don't list everything you've ever done
Everything added to your resume should be done after you have asked yourself, "will this sentence help me get the job I want?" If not, remove it. Keep your resume relevant, ALWAYS.
14. Consider who is reading your resume
The person reading your resume has a job to find great candidates and present them to the boss or team. Think about that person when you write the resume. How can you make her job easier? How will you write your resume in a way that will make her excited to get into contact with you?
15. What makes you different?
Put your best foot forward in the application process; it's so important to be yourself and this includes what you write on your application materials. Show who you really are, your personality, your interest, and what makes your experience so unique. This definitely requires a judgment call (expressing personality has no success in a traditional role in a traditional industry) but it could be the one thing that is going to set you apart and lead you to that job offer.
16. Your resume as a storytelling document
Your resume exists to concisely and clearly tell the story of "you." After writing and editing, make sure that it tells the story of your background, the skills and experience you gained along the way, and how you ended up where you are now. Most importantly, your resume should communicate to a recruiter why the role they are hiring for is the perfect next step for you!
This is a ton of information but if you're feeling overwhelmed with all these rules and guidelines, remember they will give you a head start over the competition. The job searching process is hard, but you are not in it alone! Seek advice from professors, friends, or family, most often they will be more than happy to help.

Well, you know it's bad to edit a page a bunch of times in a row, so that's good. But in case you didn't know, there's a "show preview" button on the editing page. You can use it to see what your edits will look like when the page is published. This allows you to make the right edit the first time. Virtual-Z 06:37, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
- It was an honest mistake, as I always use the preview button. But thanks for informing me anyway. —♥ Jello 06:41, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
A request on how to add pictures, from Steph
Which sources do you use to extract pictures from? I could try and use the same sources. When onw cannot download something, or when the Print option is not available, would using Ctrl+Prt Scr SysRq (not sure of the official name) and then transferring it to a Paint file with appropriate trimming if needed and saving as .png work? Steph 04:25, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- I don't really have a specific source right now; I just Google search the episode. For the Original series it's a bit hard to find good quality videos, and the best ones I could find were about 175MB in size and in .avi format. In regards to the point you made about the Print Screen option not being available, that's really not the case, it's just that I had to download a separate codec for that in order to Print Screen the shot, otherwise it would show up as black when I would paste it. You shouldn't have to worry about that if you're working on more recent episodes. If you find high quality Youtube videos and are able to 'Print Screen' it, that should work, but to get the best quality you're better off downloading it yourself. Also, Paint is not a file, but a program if you're running Windows. Sorry if I had confused you. —♥ Jello 05:08, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Do you have an AIM account? MaverickNate 15:58, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
- Nope, sorry, I don't use AIM. I do have an MSN account though.—♥ Jello 16:45, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
OD Sprites
I know I haven't said anything about these, but thanks so much on the overworld sprites! They are of great value to us here! ht14 22:06, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
Do you want me to leave my Trainer page up for your referencing? You don't seem to be using it anymore... if so, I'll update it. ht14 23:12, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- I was just using it a while ago, but I don't feel like uploading the shiny OD sprites right now(seems kind of pointless), so that's why I moved on to other regular OD sprites, which aren't on your page yet. But yeah, keep it up. It's really helpful. —♥ Jello 23:17, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Hey! How are you doing?
Thanks for checking on my work! I'm new here, so I'm still learning (having a hard time, lol).
I know I'm not perfect in my edits and I'm looking forward on getting better soon. Is there any page I should refer to?
~Thanks again! Stalking FTW!! ^^' -- Saito FX 20:32, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
User Page
Well I'm sorry, but I did not see your user page until today, so I didn't know you had this design and created it. --HoennMaster 09:27, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was trying to leave you a longer message but the site was glitching. Anyway, again I did not know that you created this design nor did I see you and PsychicRider talking about it. I actually intended to give credit for the page but the site was being glitchy and that version of the final design did not go through. I know you wanted a unique User Page, but I really hope you won't mind me using it too. Three people out of hundreds of users still makes it somewhat unique. Plus, I'm planning on add more to the page and I will give you credit and if you want I'll try to change up the page somehow. --HoennMaster 17:34, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
- Alright, that's fine. I just don't want it spreading, I hope you understand. Just make sure that's made clear on your page before someone else decides to take something from your page. Thanks for understanding. —♥ Jello 19:29, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Yeah it's alright, though you don't need to # if you don't want to. Virtual-Z 03:33, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Danone cards

A Favour :)
Hey Jello, I need a favor from you. The thing is that I noticed that so many users have a fancy/beautiful user page because of cool templates and all that stuff. But I don't know much about these things (template and all that stuff). So, can you please help me in creating a new + cool user page? I don't want the exact same as your's or someone else'. It should be different/new and I am asking it from you because you seems to be an expert to me in this thing. If you don't have much time or can't create it due to some personal issues then I can totally understand. But I'll be so happy if you can create one for me. Thank you. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 17:46, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: Gen 5 Art
I don't appreciate the attitude, I was only trying to help and I don't edit the site in-depth to the point I know what the archives are even, so no I didn't check them nor did I know to. There's no need to be rude about it though. Drake Clawfang 22:04, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- I wasn't trying to be rude. You have to understand that other people have probably gotten to it before even you have. That's what the general attitude everyone here has, where we all seem to think we have found this and that first and are the first to report it, when someone else has probably done the same thing already. It's great that you're being helpful, but we have enough redundancy here as it is . I saw the same thing as you, and I checked to see if it was already uploaded or not. You don't need to call me a dick, I said what was needed to be said in a straight forward manner. I apologize if it offended you. —♥ Jello 22:14, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- I accept your apology. Other people knowing first, yeah I'm starting to get that. At the time I had reported it, the three pages for the starters still had the "image taken from scan" caption, so I had figured the official images hadn't been found yet or else the captions would have been removed.

Dragon-type section removal
You don't need to post it on both their talk pages...
- True, but there's no talk page that allows someone to address comments for BOTH articles, and the fact that they're individually listed as "Dragon-type" is an issue for both articles. For as far as I'm aware, the talk pages are for discussing the individual articles, and just because one piece of info is listed on one talk page doesn't mean it's being read on the other. - Nick15 00:22, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
- I answered your question on one page, and since they were exactly the same question on both pages, I felt it wasn't needed on the other. Rest assured, this information was confirmed before being put in. If you really feel it's an issue, you can put it back in but it seems redundant. —♥ Jello 00:28, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Re: Reshiram and Zekrom
WE DO NOT KNOW THERE OFFICIAL TYPING. Why does everyone just assume that they will be Dragon-type because they were described as "Legendary Dragon Pokemon" like a Pokedex entry would state. We have no official info on their typings so the Dragon-typing should be removed for now. --Yusuke SS 20:21, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- Woah there, you don't need to come yelling on my talk page. I actually discussed this with some admins before putting it in. I'm not one to put in crap in articles. Now that the article is in the mainspace AND protected, I can't help you there. If you really think it should be removed please discuss it on the talk page or an admin instead of yelling at one user (who can't do anything about it, now that it's protected). They were described as Dragon Pokémon at the time, and that's all the information we have right now, and it's bound to change. By the way, your signature is in violation of Bulbapedia's policy.

Just saying. (plz dont be mad im just always this optimistly-theorticly smart)

Cateye make some great value lights that perform well, and the Omni 5 (or TD-L155-R, to give it its catchier name) is one of them. There's a lot to like about this rear blinky. It's not the most powerful or the sleekest, but it's a great all-rounder.
Lozenge-shaped, powered by two AAA batteries and with five bright red LEDs in a line, the Omni 5 is old school. No USB charging or funky casings here, it's more or less your standard rear blinky. Cateye have made the Omni 5 entirely out of translucent red plastic, so the LEDs shine out in all directions. Certainly it's nice and visible from both sides.
The bracket is Cateye's FlexTight one which, for the uninitiated, is a bit like a big plastic jubilee clip. It's tool-free and you can tighten it around most things: seatposts, stays, the back of racks, whatever. If you're mounting it on your 'post then you'll probably need to clip the end off as it tends to stick out and catch your shorts. Cateye also bung a clothing clip into the box which will fix to a pocket or a light loop on a bag. A saddle-rail mount is also available for a tenner or so.
The Omni 5 has two flashing modes and a constant one. It's a hold-to-turn-on switch so it won't accidentally activate in your bag, and it turns on at the mode you last turned it off which is a nice touch. Rapid blink is a bit, erm, annoying; I preferred the slower flashing mode. Output-wise it's not claiming to be super-bright and it isn't, but it's plenty visible enough at night or on an overcast morning. I'd be happy running it as my only rear light for normal riding.
Cateye claim the light will run for up to 120 hours (although not necessarily on the batteries they supply with it) and so far ours has racked up somewhere near 80 hours of use in flashing without giving out. We haven't been setting the stopwatch. The battery life is fine. Everything about this light is fine, really: the price, the construction, the output, the battery life. If you just want a simple rear light for everyday use you can't really go wrong here.
Inexpensive and dependable rear light that's easy to fit and use

You and you fella could join weightwatchers, you get a book which tells you calorie content from the weight of the food you eat; it also gives you a recommended calorie intake for your own size. Doing weight watchers you can still have treats but you have to compensate for them. Also if you actually go to weightwatchers you get weighed once a week, it will give you the incentive to go if you are both doing it, you get weighed weekly so you can see the weight changes.
You could always (if you use the bus or train etc) if possibe get off a stop earlier and walk that extra bit home, walk up and down the street or around the block - whilst it's not 'physical' exercise it's still excercise. Make a point of walking up and down the stairs as an exercise (i.e. walk up and down 10 times and gradually increase that). If at some point you use the car for a short distance think it's ok weather I'll have a walk. If you walk with someone it's amazing how far you'll walk and not realise it.Serendipity wrote:I used to do the same job. and yes it is very tiring but it does not leave you physically incabable of doing excercise even on your days off!

Full Disclosure: I cannot vote. I can almost vote, but I had to pass the polls regretfully five times yesterday.
The work of many Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents all came down to yesterday. And there is still much work to be done – like in Alaska, with 40.2% of the vote consisting of write ins. Overall, the election is a mixed bag – the Democrats will keep control of the Senate, but will lose the House. However, I still think the President can and should work with the Republicans – the losses in the midterms reflect both bad public relations and weak bipartisanship.
One of the greatest losses in this election, I believe, is Senator Blanche Lincoln. More and more, both Democrats and Republicans tend to go to the extremes of their party: case in point, Christine O'Donnell, Sharron Angle (the Republicans more so… I can't think of an extreme Democrat.) The moderate Republicans and moderate Democrats are disappearing – fast. Senator Lincoln was a valuable asset in the Senate for us fiscally conservative and socially liberal voters. Alongside Senators Snowe, Collins, and Specter, she was a voice of reason between two sides of vacillating power. I regret her loss.
Surprisingly, I'm not that downtrodden. My school levy passed, and I believe local politics are just as critical as national politics. I'm excited for the time when I can vote. If elections are this exciting when I can't vote, what will they be like when I can?

Guys - I am attempting to modify profile-sync-daemon so that it parses out a user's $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/profile.ini and then syncs the corresponding profiles therein rather than simply syncing the entire $HOME/.mozilla/firefox directory. I have taken a stab at it which you can find in the latest commit in the unstable branch on github: https://github.com/graysky2/profile-syn … e/unstable
I'd like to ask for assistance. As you can see, the modified version does indeed parse out each user's $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/profile.ini into an array. What I can't seem to wrap my mind around is how to get the entire array to get passed down to the subsequent functions should it contain more than one element. For files that contain more than one, only the last one is passed.
Input is welcomed and thanks in advance.

I think you're reaching the point where switching to another language would save you some real headaches.
If I understand the problem, you want to do something with ENAME, BACKUP and DIR to each profile after set_which (a Python generator would be really useful here). I have a few ideas, but they feel a little kludgy. They should give you a starting point though.
a) Convert ENAME, BACKUP and DIR to arrays and populate them in set_which (e.g. ENAME[i++]=...).
b) Make set_which echo ENAME, BACKUP and DIR together on a single line with proper quoting or some custom separator, then use e.g. a "while read...; do...; done < <(set_which...)"*. With proper quoting you could extract the returned values with an array (foo=($line); ENAME="${foo[0]}"). With a custom separator, you could use Bash substring functions to extract the different parts (e.g. ENAME="${line%%::*}" if the separator is '::' and ENAME is the first item).
c) Restructure the code to invert the loop nesting so that ENAME, BACKUP and DIR are passed to a function.
For (a) and (b), you will obviously need to add a loop after set_which wherever it is invoked to handle the values.
* see here or netcfg-menu for an example... ignore the rest of the messy code, it's inherited

Hi graysky,
My 2cents
profileArr=( $(grep '[P,p]'ath= $homedir/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini|sed 's/[P,p]ath=//') )
index=0 (ADDING index variable)
for item in ${profileArr[@]}; do (CHANGING DIR BY item)
if [[ $(echo $item| cut -c1) = "/" ]]; then (CHANGING DIR by item)
# path is not relative
DIR[index]="$item" (DEFINING DIR)
#BACKUP="$DIR-backup" (WILL BE CALCULATED when necessary)
#ENAME="$browser" (WILL BE CALCULATED when necessary)
# we need to append the default path to give a fully qualified path
DIR[index]="$homedir/.mozilla/firefox/$item" (CHANGING DIR by item)
#BACKUP="$DIR-backup" (WILL BE CALCULATED when necessary)
#ENAME="$browser" (WILL BE CALCULATED when necessary)
index=$index+1 (index incremented)
for item in ${DIR[ * ]}
echo $item (print all profiles folder, to be replaced by useful function)
For other browsers, DIR should be only an array of 1 item (except in case they also support profile management)
Last edited by alain (2012-11-27 09:28:43)
I suggest a different approach:
call set_which with "firefox:profilename" instead of "firefox"
then in set_which you can parse to a single dir: (broken example that assumes Path=somepath.profilename):
DIR=$( sed -n 's/[P,p]ath=\(.*\.'$profilename'\)/\1/p' profile.ini )
and expand BROWSERS="chromium conkeror.mozdev.org firefox google-chrome" to BROWSERS="chromium conkeror.mozdev.org firefox:profile1 firefox:profile2 ... google-chrome" before running the for browser in $BROWSER loop
expandprofiles () {
for i in $@; do
if [[ "$i" == firefox ]]; then
sed -n 's/[N,n]ame=/firefox:/p' profile.ini
echo $i
BROWSERS=$(expandprofiles $BROWSERS)
This has the bonus that your users can choose the profiles to sync in psd.conf
@Alain and aesiris -
I think I wrapped my mind around alain's approach, and updated the unstable branch with a working copy (although not tested yet).
I don't want to make configuration in /etc/psd.conf complicated; I want the script to be just blindly parse the user's dirs and sync if they are present. Otherwise, I can see adding extra variables for user-level profiles confusing for users.
I need to play around a bit more mentally with your suggestion, aesiris. If you wanna fork the stable branch and send me a pull request, that would be cool
I took a look at the unstable branch
You are still linking "$VOLATILE/$user-$browser" to "$DIR"
This now is wrong because you want multiple DIR when $browser=firefox
You need something like "$VOLATILE/$user-$browser-$item"
But not exactly since $item contains '/' characters, that you can't use as filenames.
Maybe "$VOLATILE/$user-$browser-${item##*/}" is a good solution?
This is my attempt: github.com/aesiris/profile-sync-daemon
Last edited by aesiris (2012-11-27 19:02:02)
Thanks for the help and suggestions, all.
@aesiris - I checked out your code but found that it did not handle multiple profiles correctly. I didn't spend too much time on it since I already invested in the array solution proposed by alain.
I just now pushed a healthy beta to the unstable branch based on your both of your suggestions (from this thread and from private email). I have ALL supported browsers installed on my workstation and have been testing for the past 1/2 hour. I do not see any problems. I need a break
Anyway, please test it, bang away on it, let me know what is wrong.
Note - STOP YOUR EXISTING psd FIRST.
1) sudo systemctl stop psd.service
2) Copy the unstable code from github to your /usr/bin and `sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/profile-sync-daemon`
3) Start the daemon again

Vacations are good for the soul. A much necessary break from everything. While Carla was in Vegas for her sister's wedding, I was in San Francisco. After a day in wine country and a few more spent sightseeing, shopping and eating, my battery is on its way to being recharged. As most vacations go for us beauty girls, we tend to spend quite a bit of time packing our products (usually bringing way too much). Now that I'm back, I can confirm that, once again, that exact scenario happened. Some things will never change. I wanted to give you a glimpse at the makeup I used on vacation and rave about the makeup bag that you need to run to Target to buy immediately. Meet the Sonia Kashuk Completely Organized Bag.
Let me try to quickly breakdown how amazing this bag is. Seriously, I could probably give a 50 minute lecture on the function of this bag. A black nylon makeup bag (the staple of ALL staples) with maroon lining, featuring a front exterior zippered compartment and pouch, two back exterior pouches, an interor with a zippered compartement and SIX side pouches that fit blush, eye palettes, powder and lipstick galore. And it's $14.99. This bag can do no wrong. I marvel at its wonder. Oh, and it's only $14.99.
These are the products I used every single day on vacation. I brought along Stila Stay All Day Liquid Foundation & Concealer, in shade Light, which like its other "Stay All Day" counterparts, wears flawlessly for hours and hours (and hours!) The concealer hidden in the cap works on both blemishes and under eyes, so the 2-in-1 option was great for travel. For eyes, I kept it bright and low maintence. Just a pat of bareMinerals Well-Rested Face & Eye Brightener to perk up my undereyes and double as a highlighter (more to come on this – I think it's magical!), a swipe of Youngblood Cosmetics Eye-Illuminating Duo to brighten under the browbone, lower waterline and inner corners and NARS Eyeliner Stylo in Carpates and Maybelline The Falsies to give the lash line some oopmh. I dusted Jouer Bronzer in Suntan in the "3" shape on each side of my face and tapped MAC Blush in Legendary from the Marilyn Monroe collab on my cheeks. For lips, I'm having a MAJOR Fresh Berry Sugar Lip Treatment moment. It might be fav Sugar of all. It brightens my face in a very subtle way, and it was perfect for walking around sunny SF with the SPF 15.
Sometimes a simple routine is the way to go!

Hasta la vista, Baby
It is with great regret that we are announcing the sunset of Watch It Stream.
Thanks for popping up in our server logs to send us off. The sad truth is that Netflix decided to kill off the API that powered our Netflix streaming search results. While that may not seem like a deal-breaker, the sole purpose of Watch It Stream was to be a one stop shop for all of the movie and television streaming happening on the net. Without Netflix showing up in our listings, Watch It Stream is simply not the quality experience that meets our standards.
What about workarounds, funding or other solutions? While it would have been nice to blow a small nation's GDP on launch parties, kitten deliveries and team building events in Machu Pichu, we at Last Commit choose to bootstrap our web products. We truly enjoy the feeling of building something up from scrach, bit by bit. There's a lot of projects cooking, so rather than resort to scraping the bottom of the barrel (well, curling to get technical) for Netflix's data or doubling down on our investment without a way to make sure it pays off, we're going to move on to other things.
If you enjoyed using Watch It Stream and want to see what we're up to next, hit us up and say hello. You'll be hearing from us soon.
Thanks for the clicks,
The Last Commit Team

Alumni Spotlight
Our Alumni Spotlight
Our graduates are making a difference in communities locally and across the globe—and we want to hear about it.
Adler University alumni are having an important impact on the individuals and communities they serve. We want to bring attention to their work, share their successes, and inspire the next generation of socially responsible practitioners. We are interested in profiling alumni from all backgrounds, degree programs, and career paths.
We invite you to tell us about your work and the goals of your organization or practice. Highlight the impact you are having on the individuals or communities with whom you work and describe how your Adler University experience has influenced your journey. Pass on career advice to seasoned professionals and students just joining the field.
