SRFI-99 says "The semantics of this extension [uid] is the
same as described by R6RS".

R6RS requires the system to check the rtd with the same uid
must have the same field specs etc.  This *requires* some form
of a global table that maps uid to existing rtds.  This is
also the cause that the code must use lengthy and cryptic
uids like GUID to avoid accidental conflict of uids.

In my suggestion, two rtds are different even if it has the
same uids but different field specs.  A library can have
a record type with nongenerative id 'Point and two fields
x and y, and another library can have a record type with
id 'Point and three fields x, y and z.  Two record types
are distinct.  I don't think this will cause confusion.

Building on question: "Delphi - Detect Int64 Overflow Error".

Does anybody have (or a link to) a __llmulo procedure (system.pas) which correctly implements Int64 multiplication with the correct overflow checking? Or maybe a procedure that does something similar.

I have found http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=34049 but it seems (from the comments in the page) that it has bugs.

I've hit this error where the CPU usage goes to its limits and JBoss needs a restart (java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space).

I found a solution for older JBoss version to increase the MaxPermSize. I guess the same goes for JBoss7.

Which value would be good enough in order not to face any problem again? Is there any way to get permanently away from this problem (like lets say use a different VM like JRockit)?

share|improve this question
This really shouldn't be happening on AS 7 unless you're deploying a lot of big classes. Because of its modular classloader, JBoss AS 7 shouldn't suffer from classloader leaks which - combined with multiple redeploys during testing - are the most common cause of this problem on other servers. Do you get these errors only after lots of redeploys? Under what circumstances? –  Craig Ringer Jul 31 '12 at 3:16
we have been testing our applications and during this phase we had extensive redeploys . And out of nowhere this problem struck –  MaVRoSCy Jul 31 '12 at 5:36
Interestingly enought, I'm running the JBoss 7.1.1 on my windows server as a service. In this scenario, after the deployment it's dead. Running the server from standalone.bat, works solid as on my development machine. –  feder Sep 8 '13 at 21:11

Since this happens after multiple redeploys it sounds like you've encountered a classloader leak, a common kind of permgen leak.

These lovely beasts happen because of normal (non-weak) references from objects owned by the container to objects that're instances of classes loaded from the application classloader. If those references aren't cleared on undeploy there's still a strong reference chain to the application's classloader, so it can't be GC'd and the loaded classes can't be freed.

A common cause is static collections in container classes that have non-static references to application classes added.

JBoss AS 7 has some fairly strong provisions in its module system to prevent classloader leaks, so I'm surprised you've managed to trigger one. I haven't seen a classloader leak since I moved to AS7 from Glassfish.

Increasing MaxPermSize will buy you some time, but it won't get rid of the problem.

You really need to work out why the classloader is leaking. Doing this is "fun". You enjoy taxes, intermittent faults, and cleaning the shower, right? See the links in the first par for some blogs that'll get you started on tracking the leak down. Basically, you'll want to use VisualVM and OQL to dig for references to your app classloader, or take a heap dump and use jhat (part of the JDK) to find the references. Either way, the idea is to figure out where the strong reference chain from the app server to your classloader via instances of your app classes is.

Alternately, it can help to take a copy of your app then start ripping bits out of it until the leak goes away. You can tell if it's leaking by connecting VisualVM or other monitoring to the app server VM and watching to see if PermGen increases after two or more deploy/undeploy cycles. Consider automating the deploy/undeploy cycles. Narrow down the cause of the leak to a small part of your app and/or one of its dependencies and produce a small, self-contained test case, then submit that as a bug report on (a) JBoss AS 7, since AFAIK it's meant to stop this happening and (b) the culprit that's holding the reference.

If you narrow the cause down to a dependency that's bundled inside your deployment archive, moving it into a JBoss AS 7 module may take care of the problem. Create a JBoss module for it, deploy it to the modules directory of AS7, and add a dependency on it to your deployment via your Manifest.MF or via a jboss-deployment-structure.xml. See the documentation on the AS7 class loader.

This is why the fact that Project Jigsaw has been deferred makes me sad. Java needs a strong module system that gets rid of this crud.

share|improve this answer
jhat refers to the approach proposed by Frank Kieviet. But this approach is not very convenient. A better way is to 1) make a heap dump; 2) open the heap dump in Eclipse MAT; 3) look for the duplicated classes; 4) right-click on the most duplicated classes then select "Merge Shortest Paths to GC Roots" with option "exclude weak references". This gives the list of object which prevent the permgen space to be reduced by class unloading. –  Julien Kronegg Jun 7 '13 at 12:13
@JulienKronegg That's a very good point. Thankyou. –  Craig Ringer Jun 8 '13 at 1:37

The VM parameter is:

Just make it large enough that you don't hit the limit.

Broadly speaking, perm gen memory is used for objects associated with Classes and interned Strings. You shouldn't run out unless you have use lot of different classes.

share|improve this answer
do you know the default value of MaxPermSize for JBoss 7? –  MaVRoSCy Jul 25 '12 at 9:39
While useful, this won't help with a classloader leak, only postpone the problem. Eventually you'll run out of Permen space. –  Craig Ringer Feb 12 '13 at 14:17

I'm trying to figure out how to robustly handle proxy authentication errors (HTTP 407 status code) when using the System.Net.WebClient class.

In the field, we see many users receiving a 407 proxy authentication WebException, but I'm not sure what a good default strategy is. In .Net 2.0/3.5, the proxy authentication settings are supposed to be inherited from the Internet Explorer system settings. Firefox, Opera and Chrome use these same settings.

Here's the basic code we are using:

using System.Net;

string url = "http://www.mysite.com";
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
byte[] data = webClient.DownloadFile(url);

When this code fails, we open the user's browser and send them to a help page. From our web logs, we know these customers can successfully connect in their browsers. Perhaps they are manually entering their proxy user name and password before they get to our help page? We don't know.

It seems that we could use WebClient.UseDefaultCredentials, but this seems redundant if WebClient is using the system settings anyway.

Any help is appreciated.

Internet Explorer does not persistently cache/reuse proxy authentication credentials if the proxy auth uses BASIC or DIGEST. For Negotiate/NTLM, default credentials will be provided.

Hence, even though .NET inherits from IE settings, you won't get any "free" support for proxy authentication for Basic/Digest unless you happen to be running in IE; you'll need to prompt the user or provide a configuration screen.

Fiddler (www.fiddler2.com) has the "Request Proxy Authentication" option on the Rules menu that you can use to simulate this scenario for testing.

share|improve this answer
Thanks Eric. Fiddler works well. To clarify, for Negotiate/NTML, will default credentials will be provided by WebClient whether or not I set UseDefaultCredentials=true? In other words, is there value in handling the 407 WebException and retrying with UseDefaultCredentials=true? Why not just always set UseDefaultCredentials=true? Security risk? Opinion Disclaimer: WinInet seemed to handle this much better. Given that everyone in the universe wants to traverse proxies, why not do this automatically or fire an event and provide a standard UI for entering/saving credentials? –  Daniel Jul 31 '09 at 20:32
I experimented more with Fiddler. I thought it would be easy to just supply the user name and password ("1", "1") like below, but it doesn't work. string url = "java.com/";; webClient = new WebClient(); CredentialCache cache = new CredentialCache(); cache.Add(new Uri(url), "Basic", new NetworkCredential("1", "1")); webClient.Proxy.Credentials = credentialCache; webClient.Credentials = credentialCache; string contents = webClient.DownloadString(url); –  Daniel Jul 31 '09 at 23:47
Got it working. For some reason the CredentialCache did not work. I had to pass a NetworkCredential to webClient.Proxy.Credentials. –  Daniel Aug 1 '09 at 0:02

We solved that problem by adding a config dialog which alows the user to choose "use proxy". If this setting is done we use these parameter (address, credentials...). If not - we assume that a connection can be made without any manual interaction. In the case of an error we do: a.) try again using default credentials b.) popup an information that a setting in config could help...

If proxy authentication is done via "default credentials" (Windows user) IE also reacts to an auth error and sends default credentials in this case. If this does not work it opens a credentials dialog. I'm not sure if all browsers handle this that way - but you can simply give it a try using fiddler, so you can see what's going on.

I know this is an old post but I had a similar problem trying to download an XML file using WebClient in an SSIS 2008R2 (SQL Server Integration Services) script task (VB.NET Code) through a Proxy Server to a remote site secured via SSL that also required authentication.

Took a while to find a solution and this post helped on the proxy side. Below is the script code that worked for me. Might be useful to someone searching for similar.

    Dim objWebClient As WebClient = New WebClient()
    Dim objCache As New CredentialCache()

    Dim strDownloadURL As String = Dts.Variables("FileURL").Value.ToString

    Dim strLogin As String = Dts.Variables("FileLogin").Value.ToString

    Dim strPass As String = Dts.Variables("FilePass").Value.ToString

    Dim strProxyURL As String = Dts.Variables("WebProxyURL").Value.ToString

    Dim intProxyPort As Integer = Dts.Variables("WebProxyPort").Value

    'Set Proxy & Credentials as a Network Domain User acc to get through the Proxy
    Dim wp As WebProxy = New WebProxy(strProxyURL, intProxyPort)
    wp.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("userlogin", "password", "domain")
    objWebClient.Proxy = wp

    'Set the Credentials for the Remote Server not the Network Proxy
    objCache.Add(New Uri(strDownloadURL), "Basic", New NetworkCredential(strLogin, strPass))
    objWebClient.Credentials = objCache

    'Download file, use Flat File Connectionstring to save the file
    objWebClient.DownloadFile(strDownloadURL, Dts.Connections("XMLFile").ConnectionString)

1 Answer 1

In order to have more complex layouts for the empty view of a ListFragment you need to override the onCreateView() method to load a custom layout with "android:list" and "android:empty" views. This will allow you to specifiy the complex empty view you desire, and inside that method you can access to the Button view to set the click listener.

Besides all voting for git I'll vote for the following:

  1. If you are willing to use eclipse for android development use SVN or mercurial, because:
    • Both have much better support from eclipse (I belive EGit is still in beta and no public releases are available yet)
    • They are both supported by google code that is excellent source control for open source
    • They both work on all major systems (no offence but git on windows even with MinGW is sometimes creepy)

  2. If you are not using eclipse:
    • If you are not using windows for development choose Git because:
      • android uses it
      • it is awesome
    • If you do use windows choose:
      • Git if you are not afraid of console
      • Mercurial otherwise

Seriously, Git is not the absolute answer to any VCS question. SVN is pretty good, many users just don't need DVCS and, more important, SVN has better Eclipse support. Things might change but this definitely needs to be taken into account for now. Do you have real feedback about egit (not just a link)? –  Pascal Thivent Jan 15 '10 at 23:30
@akhnaten: I answered your question @Pascal: I've tried Git... and honestly, it worked much faster than SVN. Yes Eclipse has better SVN support, but if that's the only consideration, CVS has the best support in Eclipse. –  nanda Jan 16 '10 at 7:04

You can set up a project at code.google.com, and use a source code repository provided by them. I think they offer Subversion and Mercurial as source control systems, and I use Subversion.

After you've got that set up, you can just use Subclipse to connect to the repository.

share|improve this answer

Git and SVN are both good choices, although I'd give SVN an edge since it's probably a bit easier to learn if you've never used a source control system before. As far as Eclipse integration goes, you'd be hard pressed to find a popular source control system that doesn't have an Eclipse plugin.

share|improve this answer
Subversion has a simpler (too simple, some would say) view of the entire VCS problem, but the merging model is fundamentally flawed, causing great grief in more advanced merging scenarios. –  JesperE Jan 21 '10 at 8:11

I would also vote for Git. I have little experience with Git and SVN, and I enjoyed Git more. It's fast, it's easy, i didn't have any problems with this. There's good Git repository service github.com, but setting up your own repository is very easy. But you can have some trouble with integrating it with Eclipse :(

share|improve this answer

If you are not working on a team and you just need version control for yourself, SourceGear Vault is free for a single user and they have a nice Eclipse plug-in.

I use it for Android development and it works like a charm.

If you're using a Mac, try out Versions. It's a tool for managing SVN repositories and working copies, and it's amazing (No... I don't work for them ;-) )They allow you to create repositories on your own computer, or setup a free one at BeanStalk.com

share|improve this answer
Wow, that's amazing >:) And what about the integration with eclipse? –  Pascal Thivent Jan 15 '10 at 23:31
I don't think there's any integration with Eclipse, unfortunately. Eclipse has it's own SVN plugin that you could probably setup, but I've had pretty bad luck with it. I prefer having a separate app to handle version control, and I just refresh the Eclipse project after Versions updates things. –  Ben Gotow Jan 16 '10 at 5:03

I'll put in another vote for subversion. It should be easier to learn than git, and will easily provide all you need.

As for the eclipse integration, you can choose between two different plugins: Subclipse or subversive. You can find lots of interesting debates on the net about which is the better one. I'm personally using subversive because it's a bit more intelligent about trunk/branches/tags handling in svn.

I am reading 'advanced bash script', in Chapter 31, there is a problem. I can not figure it out.

tail -f /var/log/msg | grep 'error' >> logfile

Why is there nothing to output into logfile?
can you offer me an explanation? thank you in advance

share|improve this question
because there are no lines in the tail of /var/log/msg that contain the string 'error'? tail -f shows you what's being written to the file now, and grep filters out only the lines that match, so if there are no lines that match, nothing will be output. –  Mark Reed Feb 21 '14 at 14:21
@MarkReed, yes, there are lines in the file 'msg' –  ruanhao Feb 21 '14 at 14:24
@ruanhao: There has to be error text in last 10 lines otherwise tail -f just waits for new logs to appear. –  anubhava Feb 21 '14 at 14:25
Until enough matching lines are accumulated by grep, which uses buffering, nothing is written to the log file. –  chepner Feb 21 '14 at 14:42
it is ok to use tail -f msg | grep --line-buffered 'error' >> logfile, but i still wonder why there seems no buffering when 'grep' directly outputs to stdout? –  ruanhao Feb 21 '14 at 15:25

1 Answer 1

As @chepner comments, grep is using a larger buffer (perhaps 4k or more) to buffer its stdout. Most of the standard utilities do this when piping or redirecting to a file. They typically only switch to line-buffered mode when outputting directly to the terminal.

You can use the stdbuf utility to force grep to do line buffering of its output:

tail -f /var/log/msg | stdbuf -oL grep 'error' >> logfile

As an easily observable demonstration of this effect, you can try the following two commands:

for ((i=0;;i++)); do echo $i; sleep 0.001; done | grep . | cat

for ((i=0;;i++)); do echo $i; sleep 0.001; done | stdbuf -oL grep . | cat

In the first command, the output from grep . (i.e. match all lines) be buffered going into the pipe to cat. On mine the buffer appears to be about 4k. You will see the ascending numbers output in chunks as the buffer gets filled and then flushed.

In the second command, grep's output into the pipe to cat is line-buffered, so you should see terminal output for every line, i.e. more-or-less continuous output.

share|improve this answer
thank you very mush for you answer. i think you are right. it is grep that plays the trick. it does not use buffer only when stdout is terminal. –  ruanhao Feb 21 '14 at 16:18

For .Net you could also wrap your page in a panel, and use the "DefaultButton" property to pick the linkbutton.

<asp:Panel DefaultButton="btnSearchNow" runat="server"> ... </asp:Panel>

I have created a network trouble shooting tool in flash. The design will have all the componenets on the screen. I have to ping to every component once in minute. I have finished the design part.

Please someone help me how do i ping a webaddress or IP in flash.

I need a sample code.. Im using Flash CS3

What do you mean by you have all the components on the screen and you have to ping every component once in a minute?

If by ping you mean an app, what checks the time-response of a url, then you can try to play with this code:

var ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
ldr.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, ldrStatus);

var url:String = "URL-TO-SITE";
var limit:int = 10;

var time_start:Number;
var time_stop:Number;
var times:int;

function ping():void
    trace("pinging", url);

    times = 0;

function doThePing():void
    time_start = getTimer();
    ldr.load(new URLRequest(url));

function ldrStatus(evt:*):void
    if(evt.status == 200)
        time_stop = getTimer();
        trace("got response in", time_stop - time_start, "ms");

    if(times < limit) doThePing();

This is nothing special, the URLLoader tries to load the url, and listens to the response. If the status is 200, then got a successful "ping". Or pong.

On the other hand, you can always run a server-side ping program, and control that with flash.

If you mean an app, like an upload-download-speedtester, that also starts with something like this, but rather with the Loader object.

Hope this helps.

Preventing cache problems, you can use:

ldr.load(new URLRequest(url + "?rnd="+Math.random()));

Now, this page might not give back the exact content of a site, but might be good enough to estimate the response time. With flash.

So overall, this could clear the cache and load the site everytime to give a better result.

How about caching? Browser may just give cached response second time. –  alxx May 6 '11 at 8:32
+1: That was awesome. –  anemgyenge May 6 '11 at 8:37
@anemgyenge : Components means pictures of various switches, routers.. they'll start blinking red if they loose connectivity –  Chandu- Indyaah May 6 '11 at 9:55
@anemgyenge : My exact intention is to build an app that wil be checking components by pinging them , if they are not working then it wil start blinking red. –  Chandu- Indyaah May 6 '11 at 10:01
@Chandu-Indyaah: But where are these devices located? Are these remote entities, so you have some IP addresses to them? On the other hand, if you choose flash, the solution I wrote can be a start. –  anemgyenge May 6 '11 at 10:40

In short, you can't.

In longer: you won't be able to ping, because a ping is actually an ICMP packet, and I don't believe Flash can send those. If there is some UDP or TCP service running on the machine you're trying to ping, though, AND the machine is running a socket policy server, then you would be able to use the Socket class to connect directly to that service (which could act like a ping).

share|improve this answer
Great answer. +1 –  Marty May 6 '11 at 7:03
But how do those guys developed an application on www.speedtest.net to check for speed and connectivity using a flash program. Is there any alternative? –  Chandu- Indyaah May 6 '11 at 7:07
@Chandu-Indyaah: you can send request from flash app to server to make it ping address you need, then server will respond with results. –  alxx May 6 '11 at 7:38
speedtest.net and the like use the second option I suggested: simply running a TCP service and a socket policy server (or, more likely, just using the existing HTTP server and Flash's URLLoader — I'm not sure, haven't looked too carefully). –  David Wolever May 6 '11 at 17:16

Yesterday Oracle decided to take down java.sun.com for a while. This screwed things up for me because xalan tried to validate some XML but couldn't retrieve the properties.dtd.

I'm using xalan 2.7.1 to run some XSL transforms, and I don't want it to validate anything. so tried loading up the XSL like this:

SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
XMLReader rdr = spf.newSAXParser().getXMLReader();
Source xsl = new SAXSource(rdr, new InputSource(xslFilePath));
Templates cachedXSLT  = factory.newTemplates(xsl);
Transformer transformer = cachedXSLT.newTransformer();
transformer.transform(xmlSource, result);

in the XSL itself, I do something like this:

  <xsl:variable name="entry" select="document(concat($prefix, $locale_part, $suffix))/properties/entry[@key=$key]"/>

The XML this code retrieves has the following definition at the top:

<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
<entry key="...

Despite the java code above instructing the parser to NOT VALIDATE, it still sends a request to java.sun.com. While java.sun.com is unavailable, this makes the transform fail with the message:

 Can not load requested doc: http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd

How do I get xalan to stop trying to validate the XML loaded from the "document" function?

The documentation mentions that the parser may read the DTDs even if not validating, as it may become necessary to use the DTD to resolve (expand) entities.

Since I don't have control over the XML documents, nont's option of modifying the XML was not available to me.

I managed to shut down attempts to pull in DTD documents by sabotaging the resolver, as follows.

My code uses a DocumentBuilder to return a Document (= DOM) but the XMLReader as per the OP's example also has a method setEntityResolver so the same technique should work with that.

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(false); // turns off validation
factory.setSchema(null);      // turns off use of schema
                              // but that's *still* not enough!
builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
builder.setEntityResolver(new NullEntityResolver()); // swap in a dummy resolver
return builder().parse(xmlFile);

Here, now, is my fake resolver: It returns an empty InputStream no matter what's asked of it.

/** my resolver that doesn't */
private static class NullEntityResolver implements EntityResolver {

    public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId)
    throws SAXException, IOException {
        // Message only for debugging / if you care
        System.out.println("I'm asked to resolve: " + publicId + " / " + systemId);
        return new InputSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(new byte[0]));

Alternatively, your fake resolver could return streams of actual documents read as local resources or whatever.

share|improve this answer

Be aware that disabling DTD loading will cause parsing to fail if the DTD defines any entities that your XML file depends on. That said, to disable DTD loading try this, which assumes you're using the default Xerces that ships with Java.

     * Instantiate the SAXParser and set the features to prevent loading of an external DTD
   SAXParser sp = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
   XMLReader xrdr = sp.getXMLReader();
   xrdr.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", false);
   xrdr.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false);

If you really need the DTD, then the other alternative is to implement a local XML catalog

     * Instantiate the SAXParser and add catalog support
   SAXParser sp = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
   XMLReader xrdr = sp.getXMLReader();

   CatalogResolver cr = new CatalogResolver();

To which you will have to provide the appropriate DTDs and an XML catalog definition. This Wikipedia Article and this article were helpful.

CatalogResolver looks at the system property xml.catalog.files to determine what catalogs to load.

Oh, and by the way, it's not Xalan that's trying to do the DTD loading here, but Xerces. This is happening long before Xalan gets its hands on the input stream. –  Jim Garrison Jun 30 '11 at 18:27
Thanks for your answer. I tried the feature settings you recommend above, but I still get the failure from the attempt to download the DTD! –  nont Jun 30 '11 at 19:56
Are you using Xerces for parsing, or do you have another XML parser installed? –  Jim Garrison Jun 30 '11 at 20:01
Are the parser's setting inherited when the XSL is executed? Because the document function is executed long after the XSL itself has been parsed. –  nont Jun 30 '11 at 20:02
Yes, I'm using xerces for parsing. At least I think I am. There's a xercesImpl.jar in tomcat's lib dir, and when I step through the code, the SAXParserFactory is instantiated as org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl. So I'm pretty confident that Xerces is in effect. –  nont Jun 30 '11 at 20:18

Try using setFeature on SAXParserFactory.

Try this:

SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
spf.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false);

I think that should be enough, otherwise try setting a few other features:

spf.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", false);
spf.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities", false);
spf.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities", false);
spf.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-dtd-grammar", false);
share|improve this answer
Just tried this too, no luck! I'm starting to wonder if the parser settings apply to the XSL that we parse, but not documents read by the XSL using the document function? –  nont Jun 30 '11 at 19:57

I just ended up stripping the doctype declaration out of the XML, because nothing else worked. When I get around to it, I'll try this: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/UseCatalog.html#UsingCatsXalan

I am using Powershell scripts to deploy the codebase on our remote servers.

One Major part of the script copies the current release to the server. Now I just need to keep the last two releases on the remote server and delete all others.

I Need to keep the latest two releases

Eg: In the remote server, I have

I need to clear Builds _17 and _16 while deploying _19.

We can sort out the directories according to the time modified and the last two will come on top. Rest all are not required.

Can this be done through Powershell Scripts ?

P.S. The builds are not always in sequential order

You can do something like this:

#requires -version 2
Get-ChildItem //server001/Application/|
    Sort-Object CreationTime -Descending|
    Select-Object -Skip 2|
    Remove-Item -Recurse -Confirm

Just remove the -Confirm switch once you are sure that it does what you want.

Here is a v1 compatible method:

$dirs = @(Get-ChildItem //server001/Application/)

    Sort-Object CreationTime -Descending|
    Select-Object -Last ($dirs.Count - 2)|
    Remove-Item -Recurse -Confirm
share|improve this answer
If you leave out the -Recurse switch on Remove-Item, you will be prompted for deleting any folders that contain other items. –  Rynant Aug 17 '11 at 12:57
Leaving out CreationTime from Sort-Object will sort by Name. The OP said the latest releases should be kept, and the builds are not in sequential order (which I assume means the build names are not in sequential order). CreationTime will find the latest build by time (otherwise Build_1_0_0_100 will be seen as earlier than Build_1_0_0_19). –  Rynant Aug 17 '11 at 13:11
Getting the following Error buddy : PS C:\> .\del_oldBuilds.ps1 Select-Object : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Skip'. At C:\del_oldBuilds.ps1:3 char:20 + Select-Object -Skip <<<< 2| –  Arpit Aug 18 '11 at 4:28
Basically, the -skip handle is not working, the rest of the command works fine if I remove -skip, but that is a necessary requirement ... otherwise it deletes all the directories. –  Arpit Aug 18 '11 at 4:53
@Arpit - Updated with a v1 method. Or using your variables you could use Get-ChildItem //server001/Application/| where {('Build_1_0_0_19','Build_1_0_0_18') -notcontains $_.Name}| Remove-Item -Recurse, replacing the names with your variables. –  Rynant Aug 18 '11 at 20:29

I've been testing my wrapper for mysqli prepared statements, and have come accross something I didn't expect. In my table guests, first_name is a varchar[32] (basically a string), and id is an integer. My function uses getType on parameters like $first_name and $id in the example below to build the $types parameter for the bind_param method. I was ready to tackle issues like what happens when $id is taken from form input and is actually a string, or, what happens if somweone enters a string that is a number, when I realised it didn't matter 0_0

$SQL = 'update guests set first_name = ? where id = ?';
$mysqli->execute($SQL, $first_name, $id);

all the following cases resulted in successfull inserts:

$id = "1"; $first_name = "Frank"; $types param was 'ss';

$id = 1; $first_name = 3; $types param was 'ii';

So, what's the deal with this?

call_user_func_array(array($statement, 'bind_param'), $bind_params);

You think the way I'm calling bind_param is a factor? In any way, I would love to know why.

share|improve this question

The $types parameter affects the generated SQL, so the first example gives the following SQL:

update guests set first_name = 'Frank' where id = '1';

and the second:

update guests set first_name = 3 where id = 1;

These are both valid SQL statements, as MySQL handles the type conversion for you. Hence, the $types parameter matters, but only up to the validity of the SQL statement it generates.

MSU's Sidney gave hints Thursday he’s a one-and-done player

In his first comments since signing a national letter of intent, Renardo Sidney made it clear his vision for a college career at Mississippi State isn’t a long-term proposition.
Sidney spoke Thursday for the first time since receiving a two-part penalty from the NCAA that included losing eligibility of the 2009-10 season due to unethical conduct and being forced to sit out an additional 30 percent (an estimated nine games) of this upcoming season due to impermissible benefits received prior to signing and arriving on the Mississippi State campus.
“After I thought about it – it was life,” Sidney said Thursday. “Everybody goes through ups and downs. Not playing a whole year and knowing we were supposed to be in the NCAA Tournament. Being in the NIT was very hard.”
Sidney has also been forced to repay the $11,800 in benefits he received to a charity both sides determine is appropriate.
“Our members have made it crystal clear that student-athletes who receive impermissible benefits, either directly or indirectly, and who lie to the NCAA must be held accountable,” NCAA vice president for academic and membership affairs Kevin Lennon said in March when the ruling was made.
When asked during Thursday’s media session about rumors he would ditch the Starkville campus for a professional year overseas, the 6-foot-10 forward gave hints with his answer that the 2010-11 season could be not only his first but also his last in a Mississippi State uniform.
“No,” Sidney said while quickly shaking his head. “We have the best conditioning coach in the nation here at Mississippi State so if I came back one more year to do his thing and get me right, it would be good. Like I said, I made a decision to come back but I don’t know if I’ll make a decision to come back next year but it depends on how our season will go.”
In its official release, the NCAA has determined Sidney and his family benefited by using funds from a non-profit organization, which is Sidney’s summer league team, for violations of NCAA ethical conduct and preferential treatment rules. They are also determining that Sidney himself provided false and misleading information throughout the entire investigation that started when he signed with MSU on April 30.
“I’m just glad it’s over,” Sidney’s mother Patricia said in March. “I don’t agree with everything, but at least we can move on.”
Sidney’s attorney Don Jackson made it clear it was the Sidney family’s position in March that the NCAA punished a student-athlete over a small amount of value that was unaccounted for.
“He has been punished because hamburgers and fries were purchased on weekend trips in cash,” Jackson said. "Bottom line, this decision is a transparent attempt to justify a year-long investigation that started out focusing on million dollar homes.”
Sidney, who refused to comment on the NCAA ruling, has heard all the labels he’s been handed since arriving in Starkville like liar, lazy and over-hyped. None of those have deterred the forward from eventually starting his college basketball career when Mississippi State travels to the Bahamas for a game against Virginia Tech.
“I’ll tell you what, I’m going to be very nervous,” Sidney said. “I haven’t played in a year and a half. It’s going to be new to me but hopefully I get out there and do what I got to do.”
One of the major question marks for Sidney entering the 2010-11 season is the issue with his weight and conditioning issues as the former McDonald’s All-American hasn’t played competitive basketball in over 18 months.
“The challenge with Sid will be no secret – his conditioning,” Mississippi State head coach Rick Stansbury said. “The speed of this game will be different for him and you can’t expect from day one he steps on the floor to be where he’ll be com March or April. Sometimes talent level can offset lack of experience.”
Sidney, who said he weighed in this week at 279 pounds, wasn’t able to travel with the team last year as NCAA rules say a ineligible student-athlete can not accompany the team on road trips. Stansbury described situations where Sidney would gain 10 pounds over a weekend that MSU officials were unable to monitor their forward’s diet.
“It took a very emotional toll on me,” Sidney said. “It was hard sitting on the bench knowing I was supposed to be out there playing with my team and helping them win. I’m just glad to get this opportunity to play one more year with coach Stansbury and with Dee Bost. It should be a very exciting year.”
Despite being a towel-waver on the sidelines for the entire 2009-10 season, Sidney’s teammates have become believers in his talent after watching him perform in a practice situation.
“We anticipate him coming out there and playing a major role,” junior guard Dee Bost said. “He’s going to be the first option in the offense just because he’s so big and nobody can stop him. If he stays in shape and do what he’s supposed to do, he could easily be Top 5 in the draft.”
Clearly not worried about the chemistry of essentially playing three different types of seasons as MSU will have to battle quality opponents without Sidney, Bost or both.
“Remember this, it’s always an easy problem to have to plug in players that can play,” Stansbury said “That’s always an easy problem.”
The difference between the unknown that was last year compared to the preparations for this season is State’s coaching staff understand the hand they’ve been dealt from a rotation standpoint.
“The positive thing is we’re going into this season understanding some things right now,” Stansbury said. “We don’t have (Sidney) nine games but we know when he’s coming back. We don’t have Dee 15 games but we know when we got him.”
Mississippi State begins practice this week and opens the 2010-11 season with a game at Humphrey Coliseum against Tennessee State. If Bost can get academically eligible by Dec. 10, the duo should be on the floor together for the Southeastern Conference opener in Starkville against Alabama.
“Without these two guys (pointing to Bost and Sidney) these cornerstones, other guys are going to have to step up,” Stansbury said. “They’re not going to cancel any games. Those games are going to keep coming. Everybody wants a piece of us till we get these guys eligible.”

A tribute poem from The Things they Carried, written by Tim O’ Brien.

By. Starlotte Green

Lieutenant Cross slept in his quite hole.
He held tightly to that one picture,
Of a girl he imagined to love.
Pretending that he loved became his security.

We walked through unknown country,
One by one by one;
Carrying our own weight for survival
And the dead weight of fear.

Everyone would carry their own habits
Jenson carried soap,
Henry carried food for two,
Ted used to carry tranquilizers
But now he is dead.

Fear was a universal weight.
No one would portray this fear.
We all carried it in silence,
It was weak to cry.

Every thing we carried was accounted for.
Each ounce mattered.
Heavy boots,
Heavy guns,
Heavy fear of death.
Every thing counts.

When we had to go underground.
Only one of us would go.
It depended on the number we chose;
If we would be lucky enough to live.

Ted was the unlucky one.
No one thought it was his time.
But he just fell flat.
Nothing else.
Flat dead.
No drama. Just dead.

Cross silently felt guilty.
He was responsible for the lives of these men.
He was now responsible for their death.
He wept.

Cross hated that picture,
Of the girl from the other world.
It was just his imagination.
He no longer needed the empty love.
He would only lead us now.

Here is a link to some beautiful poems about war.

On The Rainy River

Here is my first try for this English class on the difference between an Analysis and a summary.

The story written by Tim O’Brien On The Rainy River, is about a young man that receives a draft from the army. He hates the thought of war and thinks he is too good for it. He is pressured to serve in the war from his peers and parents. He does not want to disappoint them, but he is afraid of death.
He tries to run to Canada to avoid being deported and stays at a lodge that is owned by an old man. They spent a lot of quiet time together and that brought him to realize that he cannot live with the guilt of not doing what was expected from him. He went back home and went to the war.

In Tim O’Brien’s’ On The Rainy River, a young man is terrified of a life change after receiving a draft for the Vietnam war. He was emotionally sick with confusion because he does not believe in the politics that stand behind the war, “Certain blood was being shed for uncertain reasons“ (O‘Brien 40) . If he chose to join the army he could die and unwillingly live a life of blood shed; or he could hide away from it and live in shame and embarrassment. After a few days of debate he chooses to go on to the war which is for the best. He would of never been able to live a normal life, “ I was afraid of walking away from my own life, my friends and my family, my whole history, everything that mattered to me” (O’ Brien 44-45). Even though he hated the thought of war he went because he was insecure with being a failure.

Sam Hamill

The story, “The Necessity to Speak,” written by Sam Hamill, is about the violence in the world that needs a public awareness. Hamill addresses the problems and solutions of war, domestic violence, murder, and rape. He believes there is a way to help with these ongoing issues; through writing and a universal self awareness.
Sam Hamill writes this story through his own experiences. He was an orphan, raped in prison and he served in the Marine Corps. All of these things he believes taught him violence. These are all things that most people have in their lives, and then passed on to children. Violence is a vicious cycle. Children learn to live with violence and will eventually portray it.
Hamill found his own way of expressing himself in a positive way; through writing. He knew that others could relate. He believes that people that have suffered from violent situations could utilize this method of writing to help them cope with the long term effects it has. This makes the writer vulnerable and perhaps embarrassed. Hamill uses writing in a way to open himself up to the world and to touch another human being on the inside. To him, this is a gift.
Hamill thinks the root of violence is that people will ignore these problems. It is easier to avoid conflict when it is not hurting you. It is also easier to shield innocent children from the ugliness of violence. The problems in society are swept under the rug and eventually forgotten. Hamill thinks that there needs to be a spoken truth and education of violence. This may be the beginning of a new generation of true love and peace.

Joy Harjo

The poem, “The Woman Hanging from the Thirteenth Floor Window”, written by Joy Harjo, is about a single mother who is contemplating suicide. Throughout the poem the character thinks of all of the reasons to live and the things that depresses her.
The character is insecure with her race, poverty and she wants to give up on life, “she knows she is hanging by her own fingers, her/ own skin, her own thread of indecision”(Line 47-47). Harjo explains the woman's reasoning for wanting to die, “She thinks she will be set free”(Line 7). Suicide could seam like an easier way to deal with depression.
Depression can have a nasty effect on people; its painful. Harjo points out that very few people have an educated understanding of depression, “Some of them scream out from below /for her to jump, they would push her over. Others cry softly /from the sidewalks, pull their children up like flowers and gather /them into their arms. They would help her, like themselves”(Line 70-74). I am personally bias against depressed people. I think that anyone can walk in the beauty of their own life. Everyone is beautiful. Yet, I have never been depressed. I do not know the disease.
The beautiful part of this poems is that it gives inspiration. Harjo explains that the waman is not alone,“She sees other/ women hanging from many-floored windows /counting their lives in the palms of their hands”(Line 24-26). This could be the answer that helps with depression. If a depressed person could realize that there are other people that know their sorrow; they may not feel so alone.
Harjo not only writes beautiful poems, but she is also talented in music. Harjo writes most of her poems about her culture, woman, and poverty,“I feel strongly that I have a responsibility to all the sources that I am: to all past and future ancestors, to my home country, to all places that I touch down on and that are myself, to all voices, all women, all of my tribe, all people, all earth, and beyond that to all beginnings and endings”. Harjo is incredibly inspiring and I feel blessed to have found her.

Here is a video of Joy Harjo doing a live reading of her poem, "A Poem to Get Rid of Fear".

The poem, “Daffodils”, written by Alicia Ostriker, is about the importance of war and the beauty of life. I was taken back when I read this poem because I live in my own little hippie world. For instance, I do not watch the news; so I have no idea of the worlds issues. I live for peace, happiness, and with the belief that everything will always be okay.
Ostriker describes the beauty and serenity that the world has to offer, even though there is a war going on, “The daffodils do look as if they dance/ And make some of us in the park want to dance /And breathe deeply and I know that/ Being able to eat and incorporate beauty like this”(Lines 16-19). This is to show that the beautiful things in the world are always available to us.
There are a lot of people who do not approve of the war. I am one of them, but if it is my family and my land that is threatened; my attitude would change, “It is our business to defend it/ Even the day our masters start a war?/ To defend the day we see the daffodils? (Ostriker lines 34-36). I would have no choice but to defend myself even if I do not believe in war.
Needless to say, everyday offers the best and the worst of things in the world. Ostrikers' poem compares this matter to poetry, “What explains poetry is that life is hard/ But better than the alternatives, /The no and the nothing” (Lines 22-24). I think that this is a beautiful truth of life. Life is difficult but also a path of learning experiences.

Good Readers, Good Writers

In the story, “Good Readers, Good Writers”, the author Vladimir Nabokov believes that readers should develop certain skills to gain the best results of the written material. He says in order to be a good reader you cannot just read, but can only reread the material. For instance, my favorite author is Sidney Sheldon, and I have almost every book that he had written. I reread his books every few years, and each time I reread a book, I always find something new.
I also agree with Nabokov when he explains that your mind can only comprehend so much. Last fall semester I took an intensive reading course, and my instructor gave me advice for reading that I will always carry with me. She suggests underlining important points, and adding side notes while reading. There were numerous reading materials in her class, and this method helped me to differentiate between them. This helped me to become a much better reader. I am glad that I took her class before I took Introduction to Philosophy, which had endless reading material. This method works wonders. Especially for college students who are in multiple courses, or have reading assignments that do not interest them.
A good reader needs to be open-minded. When I read a book from an author other than Sidney Sheldon, I have to get into the text of the book, and not to expect what Sheldon has always given to me. This was not easy for me at all. It took research to find an author that interests me, Aimee Bender. She is fun, witty, and imaginative. I think it helps to be a good reader when you enjoy the author’s way of writing.

Here is one of the books that I read by Aimee Bender, titled The Girl in the Flammable Skirt

Here is a link that gives suggestions for good reading skills.

Star and Star

My last experience of horseback riding was reassuring. I had just finished a year of college that was filled with obstacles, frustration, and doubt. With that said, I needed real "me" time.
It was a few years ago when I first started my relationship with horses. Thanks to a great friend of mine, Terry O. He taught me his way of understanding these wonderful animals. Like the F words that have to come in order; Fast, fair, firm, and friendly. This will build respect between you and the horse. This surprisingly works for my kids. HA!
One of the other many things I have learned though Terry O and horsemanship, is to always remember where your belly button is, your center. If you ever get into a "pickle" with your horse; if he kicks, runs, or does anything that you cannot handle, you need to know where your belly button is. You pull the rains tight and turn them into your belly, it works!
So, all of this horse philosophy has helped me many times in life.
When the Spring semester was finally over, I did not know what to do with myself. I facebooked, cleaned closets, took naps, read novels in a day, and developed cabin fever. That is when I had my Epiphany and called my Terry O.
I put on my sexy (borrowed) cowboy boots, Levi's, and took off on a horse who shares my name. I could imagine that her red stocking where a blaze of fire, and I was for a moment untouchable. I kept remembering where my center was. This is something that people do not always do. Not just to ride a horse but, to know who you truly are.
I am Star and I know what centers me.

A History Lesson from Mr. Nostalgia - by LiarXAgerate

A History Lesson from Mr. Nostalgia

As I see more newbies appear on SM.Net forums and #starmen, more and more questions are asked about EarthBound.Net and Moonside.Net, and plenty of other strange thingummies that have occured over this site's history. As it gets relatively tedious constantly explaining and explaining over and over, I decided to set down what I remember in lovely article form. Here it is, everything you ever wanted to know about the beginnings of EarthBound.Net, but were too afraid to ask.

Once upon a time, when Ms. Saturn owned one of the premier websites and some guy named reidman was webmaster of a growing, You are Now EarthBound, a character by the name of Buzz Buzz started www.EarthBound.Net. Reid and someone named "Tomato" were quickly recruited, and after Buzzy left for the army, the familiar blue on blue sidebarred layout premiered, and the forums grew past a remarkable 40 viewers.

Fast forward a year or so. EB.Net is booming. #eb regularly has 30+ visitors, the forums are almost perpetually posted on, and sections like Flukes and Funktastic Gameplay Summers add an original twist. But around February 2000, Buzzy came back, and in a very courteous extension of friendship offered everyone a week to get out of his domain. You see, he wanted something where everyone got to update, and no one was in a higher position level than anyone else. Of course, as the Soviet Union so kindly proved, those ideas look much better on paper, or in a 3D Virtuachat(!)

So after a quick poll, Starmen.Net edged out Mother2.net, among other possible domain names, and reid moved the site over. And here we are.

2010.09.29 Labor: Take a deep breath and start laughing

on . Posted in Midnight Musings

“It’s like childbirth—after a while the memory of how incredibly painful it is subsides and you find yourself pregnant again—and you know it’s going to hurt—but not until you’re in the throes of it do you realize: Dang, I remember what this is like! And that’s when you swear: I’ll never do THAT again!”

I didn’t realize how irresponsible I was being when I wrote the above in my last column—until I received a message from a friend who took exception to my offhand description.

“Is that a message you want to send to first time mothers? Assuming someone like Rosie would want a natural childbirth, isn’t it better to mentally think of it as something other than pain, something the body is made to do and to do well? Maybe it is just my training in the Bradley Method (and being trained by [my wife]), but the whole breathing to distract oneself from pain, goes against the idea that it is a natural event, not a painful event requiring distractions and/or drugs. Eating quiche with tumeric, that could be considered painful!”

My immediate thought was, Yikes! I need to apologize! To any pregnant women or any women of childbearing age: if my column scared you (or scared you off), I am so sorry! I did not intend that at all.

But I wrote back to my friend about my birthing experiences and my opinion that I still think it’s pain. He hasn’t convinced me otherwise. In my mind, it’s pain—but that doesn’t mean the pain is something to fear or to avoid.

It’s not that I think women are heroes if they give birth naturally and the scourge of the earth if they don’t. But, in most cases, a natural birth is going to lead to a better start for the baby and an easier time for the mother. Breastfeeding is easier, for one thing, and childbirth without drugs is one way to avoid the slippery slope of one intervention leading to another, and finally to a Cesarean, and the difficulties surrounding that procedure.

“We didn’t have Bradley (The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth) in Lenawee County 28 years ago,” I wrote back to my friend. “Maybe if we had done that I’d have a different attitude. But having experienced labor three times (even my one-hour start-to-finish labor with Rosie), I’d still call it pain. I knew it was productive, but it still hurt like crap.

“...I saw the pain as something normal...not something to get rid of with drugs...just the natural course of events and eventually it would be over. It always elicited great episodes of cursing for me; but pushing was pretty fabulous.

“You could say it’s something other than pain, but for me, it still hurt like a mother. I think breathing [exercises] kind of went out the window with Ben...whatever they told us to do wasn’t working and I just did some combo of whatever felt wasn’t any kind of thing they taught us, but maybe a combination of several things used sporadically.

“So much of my labor with Ben was me telling David, ‘Enough of this..., just give me your shoulder and walk.’ He had a stopwatch and was timing contractions and all of that business went out the window, too. I don’t think our classes were any particular brand, but they might have leaned to Lamaze. I remember learning breathing techniques and relaxation and something about a focal point, but none of that worked for me.

“I don’t recall doing much of any birthing class or preparation for Rosie except lots of pelvic rocks and walking around and around the upstairs rooms and the same with Maddie...accompanied by Ben and Rosie jumping all over with excitement. I think with all three I just walked until it was time to push.

“I think i had this pervasive feeling with Ben that if this is what my body is doing, it must be right...still hurt like anything else I’d call pain.

“And i agree with you about turmeric on quiche...”

My friend explained that there are lots of young pregnant woman at his workplace and when he sits at their table at lunch, “inevitably, the focus of the discussion turns to other moms and telling them how much it is going to hurt. I leave lunch wondering about it. Is it our culture? Is it healthy having this attitude? I never hear real positive talk. Maybe that is just assumed.”

“Maybe it's all semantics,” I replied. “I think the pain is just...what it is...and it's part and parcel of the birthing least as I've experienced it. I don't mean to talk about it as something like, ‘OMG! It's going to hurt so much! You fooley, fool, why did you even get pregnant?!’ or to scare women.

“I just think it's something to endure to get to the great reward. Maybe ‘endure’ is the wrong word...maybe it's more like, this is the ride you take...and it's kind of bumpy, but that's just the way it is. Like riding the school bus at Denali [National Park and Preserve in Alaska]. It's pretty uncomfortable for a long time, but then you get out and see Mt. McKinley and the mountains all around and it's pretty awesome. Maybe Bradley is like the helicopter ride you can take instead...”

Or, maybe you can read my husband’s column next door and try laughter.

Michael Rosenberg visits Morenci 2009.05.06

Written by David Green. Posted in Feature Stories

Where would football be without tradition?

Morenci graduate Zac Johnson was the first person Sunday to talk about tradition at Stair Public Library.

He was asked about his first University of Michigan/Ohio State University contest—the thrill of stepping onto the field as a Wolverine to play in one of America’s greatest football traditions.

Morenci’s new football coach Tom Saylor used the word tradition, also.

Tradition, talent and coaching—those are three key elements for a successful program, Saylor said.

Michigan Notable Book author and guest speaker Michael Rosenberg of the Detroit Free Press was also asked about tradition.

“What would sports be like without the big rivalries?” he asked. “It would just be a game with good players. It’s not just great athletes; tradition plays a major role.”

Rosenberg read a few pages from his book, “War as They Knew It: Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, and America in a Time of Unrest,” then spoke about writing it before fielding questions from the audience of more than 100 people.

“If Woody and Bo had met in a different era, this book wouldn’t have been written,” he said. “What appealed to me was how much the country changed during that time.”

Neither of the coaches fit into the changing society of the 1960s and 70s, Rosenberg said. Their qualities just didn’t make sense on the college campus of the times.

“I wanted to see how they handled the situation,” he said. “Bo handled it better than Woody.”

Rosenberg said his goal was to write about football in a way that would interest fans as well as those who didn’t care about football.

“It was like writing a book in English and French at the same time.”

Rosenberg told several anecdotes from his research, including a report that Woody never recruited in Michigan until assistants finally convinced him to cross the border in 1972.

On the way back south, the gas gauge kept getting lower and lower, but he brushed aside urgings to stop for a fill-up.

Finally, he said, “We will push this car over the border if we have to. We will not spend a dime in the state of Michigan.”

Rosenberg often refers to Woody as The Old Man and he was asked about that moniker.

“A shocking number of his players and coaches referred to him that way. Actually he was in his 50s when he started at Ohio State, but he was an anachronism. The world was passing him by and he knew it.”michael.rosenberg.jpg

Rosenberg said he’s heard some complaints from Michigan readers because they ended up feeling some affection for Hayes.

“They were more comfortable hating him for those 40 years.”

Campus unrest was more of a challenge to Bo, Rosenberg said, with Ann Arbor as the center of the midwestern counterculture. The drug culture suddenly merged with football and Bo didn’t know how to deal with it.

The military draft fueled the unrest. Whether or not young men supported the effort in Vietnam, there was a good chance they would have to become a part of it.

Woody was a student of military history and Rosenberg pointed out an irony in his coaching. Wars are won in different ways, but Woody never changed his football strategy.

Wars are fought to acquire territory, he said, but that wasn’t the case in Vietnam. rosenber.picnic.jpg

“Woody probably didn’t understand Vietnam and he didn’t understand the passing game.”

When he talks to fans on either side of the border, he hears the same thing: Woody couldn’t coach today in modern college football; Bo could step right in.

“A lot of people think that Bo and Woody were two peas in a pod,” Rosenberg said. “I discovered they weren’t at all.”

Rosenberg expressed his delight with the Morenci program—the tailgate party, the pre-game show, the spread of food.

“I’ve probably had 25 book signings and talks and I can honestly say that I’ve never had a welcome or a set-up like this.”

Golf: Creamer wins Samsung World

The Associated Press
Published Monday, October 06, 2008

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. -- Paula Creamer calmly won her biggest LPGA Tour title yet, holding off a large pack in the 20-player Samsung World Championship.

Playing near her hometown of Pleasanton, the 22-year-old Creamer beat Song-Hee Kim by a stroke Sunday, closing with a bogey-free 3-under 69 for a 9-under 279 total. Creamer earned $250,000 for her fourth title of the year and eighth overall.

On No. 18, Creamer holed a 5-foot par putt that rolled around the right lip of the cup and in.

She dropped her putter, and raised both arms with a huge smile across her face as Kim waited nearby for a possible playoff.

Kim finished with a 68 for her fifth top-five finish of the year.

Two-time defending champion Lorena Ochoa shot a 69 to tie for third at 7 under with Juli Inkster (68), Suzann Pettersen (68) and Angela Stanford (70).

After Kim moved into a share of the lead by chipping in for birdie on No. 14 -- the first time all day Creamer wasn't alone out front -- Creamer made a long birdie putt on 15 to retake control.

Turning Stone Resort Championship

VERONA, N.Y. -- Long-hitting rookie Dustin Johnson won the Turning Stone Resort Championship for his first PGA Tour title, holing an 8-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 3-under 69 and a one-stroke victory over Robert Allenby.

Johnson finished at 9-under 279 to take the $1.08 million first-place prize in the $6 million event, the richest of the Fall Series, catapulted him from 128th to 41st on the money list. The top 125 at the end of the year retain full exemption for 2009. Allenby (70), seeking his fifth victory and first since 2001, had a chance to tie at 18.

But the Australian's 12-foot putt for birdie stopped inches short of the hole.

Alfred Dunhill Links Championship

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland -- Sweden's Robert Karlsson won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, birdieing the first hole of a playoff with England's Ross Fisher and Germany's Martin Kaymer at St. Andrews.

Karlsson earned $800,000 for his second win of the year and passed Padraig Harrington for the lead in the Order of Merit. Karlsson, the Mercedes-Benz Championship winner the week before the Ryder Cup, Karlsson closed with a 7-under 65 to match Fisher (65) and Kaymer (68) at 10-under 278.

Korea Open

SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korea's Bae Sang-moon won the Korea Open, closing with a 2-under 69 for a one-stroke victory over England's Ian Poulter.

The 22-year-old Bae had an 11-under 273 total on the Woo Jeong Country Club course. Poulter (70) bogeyed the 16th and 18th holes. American Anthony Kim (71) and South Korea's Kim Wi-joong (72) tied for third at 9 under.

zentealife.com has a spring sale 20%-40% off until April 20. Discount Code: spring

These teas are amazing, so stock up! I’ve heard they are discontinuing some of them after the sale.

looseTman said

Thanks for the reminder! Do you know which teas may be discontinued?

I’d say some of the teas that are on sale right now are the teas that will most likely be discontinued.

looseTman said

How about Earl Grey Cream or Assam Mangalam Second Flush FTGFOP1?

Cavocorax said

It doesn’t say which ones are 40%, but I put those in the cart, as well as the coconut oolong and black pearls and I only had 20% off my total.

looseTman – I don’t want to speak for Zen, but I think Earl Grey Cream is safe (since it is so good) but I’m not sure which assam might be discontinued.

Cavocorax – if you put ‘spring’ in the discount code, it will take a percentage off all the teas in your cart. They also have an awesome rewards point system.

Cavocorax said

I did put “spring” in, which is why I got 20% off, but as none of those teas gave me 40% (as some were advertised), I suspect these aren’t the ones that will be discontinued. :D

hmm, I’m not sure. Maybe some of the teas were already 40% off of their usual prices? I know all of the teas are at least 20% off. They are delicious and already cheap anyway though! :D

Cavocorax said

Sorry – I’m not being clear here – I probably should have more of my morning tea.

I just figured that because all the teas are 20-40% off, and some are being discontinued that it’d be the ones that are 40% off that will be discontinued. And to answer looseTman’s question I pretended to buy the ones I really like to see if they’d show up as 40%, but as they are only 20% I think that means they are safe. :D

looseTman said

That sound like a well-reasoned conclusion. Thanks!

Well, I don’t think the people over at Zen have made up their minds about which to discontinue yet.. so it could be some that are on sale or not.

This one is a serious wow – Den’s Tea is offering a kyusu for $5 until the end of the month: http://www.denstea.com/teapots-cups-teapot-shudei-99%C3%82%C2%A2-c-275_379.html

I told myself I wasn’t going to get any tea or teaware this month, but that vow is gone now.

Wow, that is a good one! I might be getting that, along with the 10% off shincha they’re offering on pre-order…

There is also 20% off of Sencha Shin-ryoku until the 30th. Code is RYOKU.

Sold :) I tossed in some pineapple sencha too…

I don’t love Tea Forte but some people do! Rue La La is offering a voucher: $20 for $40 online at Tea Forte. It can also be used on teaware, and they do have some nice things (I still use my Kati cup every day).

If you want/need an invite to Rue La La you can use this link: http://www.ruelala.com/invite/dinosara

T&C TTB Round 2

This seems very, very musky and strongly muscatel in flavor. It’s very pleasant. I am not sure I would keep it on hand but if I ran across it I’d pick some up.

Today’s first pick from the T&C TTB. People on Steepster seem to really love this one, so I gave it a go for myself. Something must have gone terribly wrong because for some reason, I got a whiff of something that smelled like egg? And then after that, I just couldn’t get the thought of egg out of my head while I was drinking the tea. I did definitely taste the malty flavor everyone talked about, though. That was nice, but the whole time I was too distracted by the weird egg smell that I don’t think I appreciated this tea much. I won’t leave a rating since no one else seems to have had this problem, but I think I’m a little too scared to give it a round 2.

So attractive musk flavor and deep taste. It was also good for making iced tea (by steeping leaves in cold water). If you don’t like the rich or bitter taste, be careful the over-brewing.

What Our Clients Say

I would not hesitate to hire Stems of Dallas again – I only wish we had another daughter so I could call them for another wedding!

– Debbie Frazee / Katie + Lee

Stems of Dallas caught all of the little details I mentioned and went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect.  Their creative abilities are unmatched, and I cannot say how many compliments I got on the flowers from my wedding after the event!  I love every piece of their work!

– Carrie + Clay

I cannot say enough wonderful things about these girls! They are truly artists who made our wedding come alive - their creativity is unmatched and their designs are gorgeous! They listened to every last detail of my vision and I walked into our reception in awe of what they had done. I'm so thankful for them and their constant joy. Stems will be my florist forever.

– Michele + Doug'

It was an absolute joy working with Stems of Dallas.  It was really important to me to work with vendors that I would enjoy working with and trust.  After our first meeting, I knew that we were on the same page.  I never had to worry; I trusted that everything would be perfect. Stems was able to make my vision come to life and then some.  Loved working with Stems and loved the work they did!!

– Kara + Douglas

What an incredible job you and your team did in setting the stage for Keni's wedding! The bridesmaid bouquets were perfect--they loved them! And the boys boutonnieres were so different--exactly what she wanted. Her bouquet was beyond beautiful. Thank you for that gift to her. Hickory Street looked magical. I will always remember the moment of walking up those stairs and seeing it with the band playing, the candles, flowers, lights. Just magical! Thank you--such inadequate words! so grateful!

– Keni + Chase

Although I have not had a ton of experience in wedding planning (Thank God), I was shocked at how stress-free and easy it was to communicate my vision for what the flowers at my wedding would look like with Stems of Dallas. My wedding bouquets came out to be beautifully unique and exceeded my expectations completely. The staff at Stems of Dallas is a group of friendly and talented individuals and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Stephen Twigg backs ‘local pay’ for teachers while also opposing ‘local pay’. Very even-handed

by Stephen Tall on October 4, 2012

Of course he didn’t use the phrase ‘local pay’ because Labour, like the Lib Dems, are opposed to it. But local pay is what Stephen Twigg today announced in his education speech to the party’s Manchester conference: We will have (…)

Remember the teacher who said ‘Sometimes ambitious children need to slow down’? Here’s what happened next…

by Stephen Tall on August 28, 2012

Six months ago, a brief spasm of furore erupted following an article published in the TES by Jonny Griffiths, a maths teacher at Paston College in Norfolk. As I noted in this post at the time, it ‘appear[ed] to show (…)
