I have a website where if I go to the URL http://mysite.com/community it shows page not found. But, the URL http://mysite.com/community/ correctly displays the page. How can I set up a rewrite for that "/" after community?

This is my present .htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +Indexes
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^admin$ Admin/index.php?qstr=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ index.php?qstr=$1 [L]

These were the ones tried by me, but failed

RewriteRule  ^(.*)/community $1/community/ [L]

RewriteRule  /community /community/ [L]

All with different combinations of with and without [L].

share|improve this question
Use the last one, but without the leading / –  Gerben Dec 29 '11 at 16:50
/community is supposed to go to index.php?qstr=community? –  potNPan Dec 29 '11 at 16:51
Seems like I need to spell it out. So RewriteRule community /community/ [L] –  Gerben Dec 30 '11 at 18:22

From the Apache URL Rewrite Guide:

Trailing Slash Problem Description:

Every webmaster can sing a song about the problem of the trailing slash on URLs referencing directories. If they are missing, the server dumps an error, because if you say /~quux/foo instead of /~quux/foo/ then the server searches for a file named foo. And because this file is a directory it complains. Actually it tries to fix it itself in most of the cases, but sometimes this mechanism need to be emulated by you. For instance after you have done a lot of complicated URL rewritings to CGI scripts etc.

The solution to this subtle problem is to let the server add the trailing slash automatically. To do this correctly we have to use an external redirect, so the browser correctly requests subsequent images etc. If we only did a internal rewrite, this would only work for the directory page, but would go wrong when any images are included into this page with relative URLs, because the browser would request an in-lined object. For instance, a request for image.gif in /~quux/foo/index.html would become /~quux/image.gif without the external redirect!

So, to do this trick we write:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /~quux/

RewriteRule ^foo$ foo/ [R]

The crazy and lazy can even do the following in the top-level .htaccess file of their homedir. But notice that this creates some processing overhead.

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /~quux/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [R]

Well, after trying out all the above solutions as well as some of my own, I finally solved this. I'm definitely sure that this is NOT a complete solution but it sure solved it for the time being.

Solution: Just created an empty directory named "community" in the root folder. That's it!

But I'm still on the lookout for the actual solution to this.

I want to make a vertical progress bar in android while performing a particular action. The progress should start from from 1st icon and end in the final icon sh0wing steady progress. I cant seem to find a way to do it.

if any body can help get one foot in the door . I will be highly obliged.

It's actually not a duplicate of that at all. –  Steve Blackwell Jan 6 '12 at 21:05

It's a bit hard to tell the transition you are trying to attempt between those two images. So you want to start with the B/W image, but does it transition from B/W to Color by cross-fading, or do you slowly want to apply pieces of the color image from the bottom up over the B/W piece?

If the latter is your choice, then your actual image will comprise of two drawables together inside a <layer-list>. One static, and the other representing a ClipDrawable that will reveal a portion of the color image based on its level value. For example, create an XML file:

<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <bitmap android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher_bw"/>

Then set that Drawable on something like an ImageView to display the progress, and change the value with calls to setLevel(), i.e.

//This is any view subclass that you have chosen to do this
ImageView progress;

//Adjust the progress by adjusting the drawable's level
// -- OR --

Drawable levels are set by default from 0 to 10,000 to represent fully clipped to fully revealed.

share|improve this answer
you nailed it i want the latter choice (like God of War loading screen in their website). I will definitely try your suggestion thanks a lot –  windwaker Jan 11 '12 at 6:37
I am facing a problem. In a test activity i am using a single imageview and using the progress_background.xml as you defined above. After setting the setImageResource and setting the setlevel to a static 6000 i am getting a blank screen .No trace of any image.Now if i remove the static "flame_bw" from the progress_background.xml and keep only one item then i am able to see a clipped image. No idea why it is not showing anything when using 2 items :( –  windwaker Jan 12 '12 at 18:46
I noticed a small bug in my XML that may have tripped you up. The <bitmap> tag requires a src attribute as opposed to a drawable attribute. Also, I made note of the fact that you will want to use the gravity attribute as well to make it come from the bottom. By default it reveals from the center. Answer has been edited. –  Devunwired Jan 12 '12 at 21:18
Take a bow sir ..... Thanks a lot :) –  windwaker Jan 13 '12 at 19:16
My pleasure, if the answer was helpful to you, please feel free to accept it. –  Devunwired Jan 13 '12 at 20:28

you could use a LevelListDrawable and set the level using setLevel(int)

You can add continous frames of the progressbar in levellistddrawable and keep incrementing the level.

share|improve this answer

The best way I can think of to do that is to use the original bitmap as a background and then draw parts of the finished image over it from the bottom up. This way you don't need a bunch of different images--just incrementally draw the finished image. I think it can be done with something like this:

// setup
// assuming firstImage is the initial one and secondImage is the final one
int totalHeight = firstImage.getHeight();
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(firstImage);
ImageView imgView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.flame_bar_view);
Rect src = new Rect (0, totalHeight,
                     firstImage.getWidth(), totalHeight);

// then on each update
void updateFlameBar(float percentage) {
    int height = (int)(totalHeight * percentage);
    src.top = totalHeight - height;
    canvas.drawBitmap(secondImage, src, src, null);
share|improve this answer
Thanks but i wonder if it will work for progress bar in notifications as well –  windwaker Jan 11 '12 at 6:47
No it won't work unless you hook up all the pieces manually. This method is more DIY. Devunwired's solution is better. –  Steve Blackwell Jan 11 '12 at 16:38

I can sent small data using java nio.

But If I want to send a very large data then my socket channel did not work fine.

message = "very large data"+"\n";
ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.wrap(message.getBytes());
int nbytes = channel.write(buf);

all the data is sent.

I want to read data from server so i am using BufferedInputStreaReader.readLine(); In this case I am not getting any error also i cannot retrieve any of the data that i have sent

Thanks Deepak

share|improve this question
What do you mean by "did not work fine" ? Do you have an exception ? –  Valentin Rocher May 18 '09 at 7:48
You are going to have to explain what exactly isn't working... Exception, stack trace, something... –  Yuval Adam May 18 '09 at 7:58

1 Answer 1

The number of bytes written, possibly zero

Write is not guaranteed to write your whole buf. You need to check how much that was written, and do another write. (Probably also wait (select) until you can write again.)

You should probably also search for a good java.nio tutorial... If you need a simpler api, use the blocking io in java.io instead...

I have a little server.jar, which listen to GET and END command on port 10000.

My client code is :

package communication;

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class Client {

public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
    try {

            Socket socket = null;
            PrintWriter out = null;
            BufferedReader in = null;

            socket = new Socket("localhost",10000);
            System.out.println("SOCKET = " + socket);
            System.out.print(socket.getInetAddress() + "\n");
            System.out.print(socket.getInputStream() + "\n");
            System.out.println(socket.isConnected() + "\n");

            out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);

            in = new BufferedReader(new

            String str = "GET";
            String reponse = in.readLine();
            System.out.println(socket.isConnected() + "\n");
            for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
                    out.println(str);          // envoi d'un message
                    reponse = in.readLine();      // lecture de la reponse
                    System.out.println("Forme recue: " + reponse);
            System.out.println("END");     // message de terminaison
            out.println("END") ;

    catch(IOException e) {

I know this code works, because it runs on one of my computers. However, I can't make it run on another one. Configurations on both are : Windows 7 64, JRE 6, Eclipse.

My server.jar application opens a little GUi that lets me know wether the communication is open or not, which is never the case on the computer that btw get stuck on the readLine() line.

I tried to turn off Windows firewall, antivirus... nothing worked.

Does anyone know what is going wrong here?

share|improve this question
We need more information to help you. What errors do you get? whats the behavior etc. –  Usman Ismail Jan 22 '12 at 17:03
I don't get any error, the program just get stuck at the line String reponse = in.readLine(); In my case it actually is a lack of behavior that bothers me ;) –  CTZStef Jan 22 '12 at 17:07
What do you want to test exactly? Why don't you have any SocketServer if you want a server-client communication? –  Jeremy D Jan 22 '12 at 17:10
The "server" is just a little executable jar. I launch it, then it listens on port 10000, waiting for GET and END commands. I tested it with Telnet, worked #1 –  CTZStef Jan 22 '12 at 17:13

Im staring at the localhost string, and have a hunch that could be the problem.

In an answer from this post, there could be something with the :: localhost that needs to be commented, and also hardcoding the localhost as in your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

By hardcoding the localhost with a specific IP address, the server will listen to the same localhost as the one your client program tries to connect to.

share|improve this answer
Interesting, I'll try that tonight, I'll keep you posted. Thanks!! –  CTZStef Jan 23 '12 at 16:24

First thing to try - add an out.flush() right after your out.println.

share|improve this answer
I just tried that, nothing, still stuck at readLine(). And I strongly doubt that I have to change the code, since it works on another computer... that must be something else... I guess :) –  CTZStef Jan 22 '12 at 17:11
One thing I didn't mention, System.out.println(socket.isConnected() + "\n"); return true. –  CTZStef Jan 22 '12 at 19:52
You're right, you are setting autoflush on. Are you sure the server is receiving your request and printing a response? Just for the fun of it, can you try closing the output stream after each println (then open a new one before each println). –  Victor Grazi Jan 22 '12 at 19:59
On the client side, the connection seems to be open; however, on the server side, i.e. on my server.jar GUI, no connection appears. With Putty-telnet, on the very same port (10000), life pops up on the server's GUI, and I can send manually GET and END command and get what I want from the server in return... –  CTZStef Jan 22 '12 at 20:24
Is your server side using a ServerSocket? –  Victor Grazi Jan 22 '12 at 20:58

I have a MySQL column 'public' that contains boolean values (aka tinyint, 1 or 0). When querying I generally don't care about the value of the public column, so by default I pass an underscore (MySQL wildcard). In some instances though I only want rows that match "public = 0" or "public = 1" so I override the underscore with either 0 or 1. That's not the clearest explanation I've ever given so here's some code:

public function get_hunts($public = '_') {
  $sth = $this->_db->prepare("SELECT * FROM hunts WHERE( user_id = :user AND public = :public)");
  $sth->bindParam(':user', $this->_id);
  $sth->bindParam(':public', $public);
  $result = $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

  return $result;

//get any result

//get only public results

Binding an underscore (I've also tried the general wildcard %) in this way causes the query to fail. What is a better way of achieving this?

share|improve this question

To use any wildcard characters, you'd need to use a LIKE comparison instead of an equals

AND public LIKE :public

Otherwise, you'd need to take some kind of query builder approach where you build up the WHERE conditions based on arguments to your function.

public function get_hunts($public = null) {
    $where = array(
        'user_id = :user'
    $params = array(
        ':user' => $this->_id

    if (null !== $public) {
        $where[] = 'public = :public';
        $params[':public'] = (boolean) $public;

    $query = 'SELECT * FROM hunts WHERE ' . implode(' AND ', $where);
    $sth = $this->_db->prepare($query);
    $sth->execute($params); // same as binding

    return $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
share|improve this answer

Bind parameters are only for simple literals, so you cannot bind things like table and column names (identifiers) or IN clauses (lists of literals).

So what you want is not possible in a straightforward manner.

What you really should do is use a different query:

function get_hunts($public=null) {
    // assuming hunts.public is defined as NOT NULL
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM hunts WHERE user_id=:user";
    if ($public!==null) {
       $sql .= ' AND public=:public';
    $sth  = $this->_db->prepare($sql);
    $sth->bindParam(':user', $this->_id);
    if ($public!==null) {
        $sth->bindParam(':public', $public, PDO::PARAM_INT);
    return $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

If you really don't want to use a different query, you can use a hacky solution with a CASE expression.

SELECT * FROM hunts WHERE user_id=:user
  AND public=
    CASE :public WHEN 0 THEN 0 WHEN 1 THEN 1 ELSE public END

If the value you bind is not 0 or 1, the WHERE condition will require public to be equal to itself and thus always true. Otherwise the value of :public is used.

share|improve this answer
Thanks for the well thought out answer. For now I've just swapped out "public = :public" for "public LIKE :public" as Phil suggested, allowing me to use a wildcard; purely because it was a quick and simple fix. Both your answer and Phil's longer alternative are probably better solutions though, so I've learnt something. –  MartinAnsty Mar 2 '12 at 2:22
+1 Nice use of CASE :). FYI, your second :user binding should be :public –  Phil Mar 2 '12 at 3:20
@MartinAnsty it wasn't suggested. and you choose wrong solution out of laziness and ignorance –  Your Common Sense Mar 3 '12 at 8:28
@Col. Shrapnel, I clearly said "for now"; a quick and dirty one word fix. I noted that the query builder approach was the correct solution and have since implemented Phil's code. I find it somewhat unfair for you to down vote the question based on the (temporary) actions I took afterwards, but if that's what makes you happy... –  MartinAnsty Mar 3 '12 at 17:59

This reminds me of the ludicrous account which he gave Mr. Langton, of the despicable state of a young Gentleman of good family.

And then in a sort of kindly reverie, he bethought himself of his own favourite cat, and said, 'But Hodge shan't be shot; no, no, Hodge shall not be shot.'

The Bottom 10 Bears Quarterbacks Of My Lifetime

In honor of Rex returning to the starting job, giving him one final chance, and giving us one final hope that he may become the Bears first legitimate quarterback in decades, or, failing Rex, our website's namesake, I have decided to list the 10 main reasons Why we have hung onto Rex so desperately despite his best efforts to make us hate him. Because really, if you ever need a reminder of how good we had it during Rex's good games last year, and hell, even Griese's starts this year, I give you ten reminders of how dark it can get.

#10- Chad Hutchinson

Chad was signed by the Dallas Cowboys in 2002 as the first of two Jerry Jones attempts to sign failed baseball players that were mediocre college quarterbacks and make them into NFL stars. That doesn't make sense you say? Well, welcome to the mind of Jerry Jones. Chad started 9 games after taking over for Quincy Carter as Cowboys starter in 2002 and went a robust 2-7. When Bill Parcells took over in Dallas, he tolerated Chad's surfer boy demeanor and deer in the headlights style of quarterbacking for all of one season as a backup and then cut him. After Rex tore his ACL in the third game of the 2004 season, Chad signed with the Bears and spent the next seven games trying to grasp the vast and ineffective playbook of Terry Shea. After a surprisingly amazing game against the Vikings in his first start where he threw for over 200 yards and 3 touchdowns, Chad then went 0-5 the remainder of the season against powerhouses such as the Houston Texans and Detroit Lions, barely averaging 5 yards per attempt, and making Bears history (by that I mean what I can remember) by scoring a miraculous 5 points against the Texans in a 24-5 loss. After Devestating Rex Injury #2 in the 2005 preseason, Chad was handed the starting job and managed to lose it after two preaseason starts, culminating in a 1 for 13 game against Buffalo, leaving Lovie to make the obvious (and therefore surprising) move of naming rookie Kyle Orton the starter and cutting Chad.

Chad's Line: 6 games played, 6 starts, 92 of 161 passing for a 57% comp. rate, 903 yards, 4 tds, 3 ints,a 73.5 rating and a meager 5.6 yards per attempt.

#9 Steve Stenstrom

Coach, I finally found that end zone dealy you were talkin about. Now what do I do with the ball?
Steve marks the second Stanford quarterback to make this list (also is only the 2nd quarterback. Stanford sucks). Bill Walsh coached Steve at Stanford during his second college coaching stint and made the remark that he considered him the second coming of Joe Montana. In reality, he was the second coming of Steve Fuller. Steve spent four years with the Bears from 95-98, but was only given the opportunity to start in his final year. He started seven games and went an impressive 1-6. After finally giving him the opportunity to suck all four quarters, the Bears were disappointed in their Mini Montana and released him. San Fransisco then picked up Stenstrom, believing that playing for the same team as Montana would unleash his inner wonderboy. They were wrong.

Steve's Line: 13 games, 7 starts, 123 of 214, 57 % comp., 1,359 yds, 6.4 ypa, 4 tds, 8 ints, 67.1 QB rating.

#8-Chris Chandler

Chris "Chandelier" holds the distinction of being Brian Griese before Brian Griese. Before the 2002 season the Bears beat out several teams for the insurance policy of having Chris Chandler at quarterback, as he had just been run out of Atlanta after being replaced by the young Michael Vick. Boy, what a deal the Bears got in this one. Chandler managed to be even more fragile than the porcelain Jim Miller, and the repeated injuries to both enabled such illustrious quarterbacks as Henry Burris and Kordell Stewart (don't worry, they're coming) to start games for the Bears. But Chris isn't here just for letting crappier quarterbacks onto the field, he did a fine job of sucking on his own when he was "healthy" enough to play. In his two seasons with the Bears Chris started 15 games, and went a healthy 5-10 in those starts. He also had the most hilarious male pattern baldness known to man, and was the fastest person I've ever seen at switching from helmet to sideline caps the numerous times he was benched.

Chris's line: 17 games, 15 starts, 210 of 353, 59% comp., 2,073 yds, 5.9 ypa. 7 tds, 12 ints, 68.6 rating.

#7- Peter Tom Willis

I'm Peter Tom Willis, and I Sucked So Bad in the NFL no one took my picture.

Peter Tom Willis, or PT, was a very efficient and popular quarterback at Florida State in the late 1980s, and still holds the Florida State record for passing efficiency at 148.1. However, all Florida State quarterbacks are no talent hacks who are lucky to make mediocre backups in the NFL. Peter was unlucky in that he wasn't mediocre. He sucked. The Bears drafted PT in the 3rd round in 1990 hoping to use him as a solid backup to Jim Harbaugh after the departure of Mike Tomczak. For two years, PT was just that, as Mike Ditka refused to start him in 1990 or 1991 no matter how many times Bears fans became fed up with the sometimes poor play of Jim Harbaugh. In 1992, with the Bears sinking in an eventual 5-11 season, Ditka finally benched Harbaugh after 12 games and started PT in weeks 14, 15, 16. PT went 1-2 in those starts before being benched for rookie Will Furrer in the season finale. The Bears kept PT around for the 1993 season, and the dazzling combo of head coach Dave Wannstedt and the terrible play of Harbaugh in his final season in Chicago gave PT one final chance to start for Chicago. He failed.

PT's Line: 21 games, 4 starts, 104 of 183, 57% comp., 1,261 yds, 6.9 ypa, 6 tds, 15 ints, 54.9 QB Rating.

#6-Craig Krenzel

Craig Krenzel was the starting quarterback for Ohio State during their 2002 national title run. He is what most people would call the prototypical caretaker quarterback. His right arm was designed to hand off and throw screen passes. In the Bears quarterback evaluation process, that makes him NFL-worthy, and the Bears drafted Craig in the 5th round of the 2004 draft to serve as the third stringer behind Rex Grossman and Jonathan Quinn. After Grossman was injured and Quinn..we'll get to that later, Craig was given the chance to start in week 7 of the 2004 season. Despite being absolutely atrocious as starting quarterback, Craig managed to win his first three NFL games because of stellar play by the defense and special teams, and the fact that his first three opponents went a combined 15-33 that season. Craig and the Bears then lost his next two starts, the last one against Dallas resulting in an injury to Craig's hand or foot or something that landed him on the IR for the rest of the season. I'll give Craig's regular stat line in a minute, but I want you to consider something, in 6 games as starter Craig threw six interceptions and had four fumbles. thats 10 turnovers in 6 games, while throwing only 3 touchdowns. So if you thought Rex and Brian were turnover prone, imagine the turnovers without any production to counterbalance it. There's Craig.

Craig's Line: 6 games, 5 starts, 59 of 127, 46% comp., 718 yds, 5.7 ypa, 3 tds, 6 ints, 52.5 QB Rating.

Bottom 5 to come later in the day or tomorrow.

Oh it is ON BITCH

Perhaps this began as a mere point-counterpoint between a camp defending Tim Tebow and a camp defending Dennis Dixon, but now it is ON.

Let's dissect the defintion from the Heisman site:

"At the insistence of the DAC officers he organized and set into motion the structure and voting system to determine the best collegiate football player in the country"

At no point in said description does it ever use the word individual. Inherent in the emboldened phrase above is the idea that the best player must also be the best teammate. He must be upheld to the highest standards of athleticism, teamwork, professionalism, and winning. Tim Tebow may be the most talented Div. 1 football player in the country (disputable, but for the sake of argument I will allow it) but he is not the best team player in the country. He has proven unable to lift his team above top-tier competition by himself on three seperate occasions.

In the same time frame, God-being Dennis Dixon has lost a mere single time, and he lost because the referees flipped a coin and decided to turn a touchdown into a touchback. Tim Tebow, on the other hand, was involved in only 1 game in which he had no control over the final outcome, against LSU. Let's explore the other two games:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Auburn (20) @ Florida (17)

Tim Tebow's line:
20/27, 201 yds passing, 1 TD, 1 INT
19 rushes, 75 yards, 1 TD
-Tim Tebow posts a clearly subpar line, especially for his standards, at home in the most intimidating stadium in college football, and his team pays the price. This loss falls squarely on Tebow and the offense's shoulders: having to score more than 20 points at home should not have been difficult for a guy who normally posts 300 yard, 4 TD games.

Georgia (42) vs. Florida (30)
Tim Tebow's line:
14/22, 236 yds passing, 1 TD, no INTs
13 rushes, -15 yards, 2 TDs
-Once again, very conservative numbers for the baby rhinocerous. The -15 yards rushing and 2 TDs may be good if you're a fantasy owner, but not if you're a teammate, or a U of FLA fan.

As I said, the LSU loss is entirely excused because 1) LSU is the number one team in the nation and 2) The Florida defense allowed LSU to convert 3 4th downs on the final drive. In Dennis Dixon's one loss he went 31/44 for 301 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs, unless you count the final touchdown that should have counted. In the LSU game, Tebow went 12/26 for 158, 2 TDs, and 1 INT, and ran for 67 yards on 16 carries.

If we take out games that their respective teams should have won, Tebow didn't play well in 2 of his team's biggest games, and Dixon has yet to play poorly in a loss. If we count every game regardless of how the game was won, Tim Tebow has lost all three of his team's games while Dennis Dixon has lost only one of his team's.

The Heisman trophy goes to the best player in every aspect of that word. The player must be a talented athlete, must be a fearless leader, must be the most valuable player on his team, and most importantly must win games for his team. Dennis Dixon has proven time and again that he is the best player in the country.

You don't have to believe me. But you certainly should not believe a man who would suggest that Riddick, aka Vin Diesel is on his side. He is most definitely not. Red is a constant slanderer of everything Vin Diesel, which not only makes him a woman, it makes him UnAmerican. Lying about Vin Diesel's affiliation is bad, but it doesn't end there.

Riddick is pissed

Jessica Alba hails from California, affiliating her with the Pac-10 conference. Clearly she supports Dennis Dixon. Ronald Reagan was the 33rd governor of California, thus affiliating him with the Pac-10 as well. Bruce Willis is from Germany, and he doesn't give two shits or a fuck about the Heisman. Jesus loves America, and because of that, he must love Dennis Dixon. Allow me to revise the list of people who want Tebow for Heisman:

-Ricky Williams
-Jeb Bush
-millions of illegal immigrants

And Dennis Dixon's list?:

-although Stacy Kiebler was originally born in Baltimore and was a Ravens cheerleader, she lives in Los Angeles, affiliating her with the Pac-10 and America's candidate, Dennis Dixon.

-Tarantino was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. While California has no problem supporting a Pac 10 candidate from Oregon, Tennessee has a very large problem with supporting an SEC candidate from Florida. If I have to tell you why, you clearly need to watch more college football.

Vote for Dennis Dixon, America.

Oh, Really?

From Football at "The Heisman Trophy is presented annually to to the nation's outstanding college football player"

From the Heisman website- "At the insistence of the DAC officers he organized and set into motion the structure and voting system to determine the best collegiate football player in the country"

From Wikipedia- "The Heisman Memorial Trophy Award (often known simply as the Heisman Trophy or The Heisman), named after former college football player and coach John Heisman, is awarded annually to the most outstanding collegiate football player in the U.S. Although not the only award honoring the best player in college football, it is considered the most prestigious individual player honor in American college football."

I see no mention of the Team, only the individual. And first off, wanting the best INDIVIDUAL player to win isn't communism, despite what certain morons who write at this blog will tell you. As a matter of fact ,its anathema to communism.

"The noble soul par excellence. The man as man should be. The self-sufficient, self-confident, the end of ends, the reason unto himself, the joy of living personified. Above all-the man who lives for himself, as living for oneself should be understood. And who triumphs completely. A man who IS what he should be."- Was I describing Tim Tebow? Close, thats Ayn Rand's description of Howard Roark, the protagonist of the The Foutainhead, her interpretation of the perfect man. But really, when applied to the world of football, is that NOT Tim Tebow? Dennis Dixon is a sham perpetuated by playing in a conference of weak defenses. Its true Oregon has beaten the best teams in their conference, all of whom rank below LSU and Georgia. And the last time I checked, nobody thats supposedly one of the best teams in the SEC has lost to Stanford. The simple fact of the matter is, Tim Tebow is a living football God. He is power incarnate. He is the Alpha and the Omega. Check out these Tim Tebow supporters for Heisman

Do the right thing, folks. Tebow for Heisman

Iggins!: Coaches are funny edition

Wow.In the last 10 days I've seen more coaches flip out or say hilarious shit than in any previous ten day span. Before that, however, a few random tidbits from this last week:

-Tim Tebow may be leading Dennis Dixon in every possible category this season, but he is behind Dixon in the most important category: wins. Tebow has lost three times this year to Dixon's one, not to mention that Dixon beat the best teams in his division (and they should have beaten Cal. That call was shit.) while Florida lost to the best teams in theirs, putting aside a win over Kentucky (who will always be Kentucky). The Heisman does not go to a player who loses 3 games. It is a trophy that goes to the player who has helped their team to WIN the most while also putting up gaudy statistics. The Maxwell award goes to the best INDIVIDUAL regardless of wins. If Florida wins the SEC, then there is an argument. Until that time, it is Dennis Dixon's trophy to lose.

A vote for Dennis Dixon is a vote for teamwork and
democracy. Don't be a communist.

-Stephon Marbury finally did physically what he's been doing mentally his whole tenure in New York: he abandoned his team. After Isiah Thomas benched him Starbury just up and left the team, returning to his home in New York instead of going on the Knick's current West Coast road trip. Reports suggest that he is o a plane as I type this, flying to L.A., but honestly, I don't think the Knicks want him back. I'm pretty sure they hope that plane he's on crashes.

- There has been a recent rash of coaches going crazy or otherwise saying things that might be considered... in poor taste? Let's explore:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

-Joe Glenn, coach of The University of Wyoming Cowboys, shows his displeasure with Kyle Whittingham, U. of Utah's coach, over a call to kick an onside kick while up 43-0 in the 3rd quarter. Glenn had, earlier in the week, guaranteed a win over Utah. That didn't turn out so well for him. Personally, I think this was justified in both regards: Whittingham deserved to rub in a 50-0 victory over Glenns team as much as he wanted because Glenn guaranteed a win, and Glenn is okay to flip the bird because it was still a dick move. Imagine if this had happened at the OSU vs. Michigan game! Oh, lord, how fun that would have been.

-Phil Jackson, L.A. Lakers coach, enjoys explaining things the way college kids explain things to their friends. Generally, if you get beaten badly, you were "Sodomized," or, as Mr. Jackson put it: "We call that a brokeback game, there was a lot of penetration and kickbacks." I would write something witty about that but it really speaks for itself.

-Pat Riley, Miami Heat coach, apparently has lost the ability to have... ahem... relations. This is the way has reprinted his quote:

"I guarantee it. I swear to God. With an old hip and 62 years old and I can't see, I'll play better than some of my guys tonight. Come on, they were pretty bad."

but what was actually said was:

"I guarantee it. I swear to God. With an old hip, I'm 62 years old, I can't fuck, and I can't see, I'll play better than some of my guys tonight. Come on, they were pretty bad."

seriously. go listen to the interview.

-Mike Leach, beloved head coach of Texas Tech, blames the referees for everything wrong in his life:

"I think it's disturbing that Austin residents are involved in this. People work too hard, too long, there's too much money invested in these games to allow that," Leach said.

"Am I condemning the crew? Hell yeah, I'm condemning the crew," Leach said.

"Unless this can change, the Big 12 Conference needs to take a serious look at having out of conference officials officiate the Texas Tech-Texas games and perhaps other games where there is proven to be a bias by officiating," he said. "It's unfortunate and does the bowl picture enter into it? I don't know. Does the money enter into it? I don't know."

Leach went on to blame the referees for his hair thinning, global warming, and the spread of the AIDS virus.

-Couple those with all the other coaching hilarity from this year:
-Mike Gundy: "I'm a man! I'm forty!"
-Isiah Thomas sexually harasses every woman he sees.
-Norv Turner in general

and you've got yourself a hilarious year for coaching. Still, nothing can beat this:

Roster Cutdowns and Week One College Football Observations

The Bears made some interesting cuts recently. Juaquin Iglesias, Jarron Gilbert, Dan LeFevour, Al Afalava, and Josh Beekman all got the axe with the final cutdown. Iglesias and Gilbert were only surprising in that Angelo had the guts to part ways with a couple relatively high and recent failed picks of his (Iglesias has come back to the practice squad, so nothing lost there). Why he can't seem to do the same and simply bench Danieal Manning is another question. The writing was on the wall for LeFevour well before final cuts, so I'm not surprised to see him go at all. I'm also not shocked that the Bengals claimed him quickly on waivers. The kid has talent. If the Bengals are willing to spend the roster spot and the time necessary to make him into an NFL quarterback, they're probably getting a good deal.

Beekman and Afalava truly shocked me, however. I never swallowed the Afalava kool-aid before the start of last season, but it's very shocking to see him go from week one starter to the unemployment line in the course of one season. I at least felt he was better than Josh Bullocks or Craig F%*king Steltz.Considering the injury issues of Manning, Wright, and Chris Harris, I'd have thought it wise to keep Al. Beekman performed adequately as a guard the last two years and seemed to be a natural fit at center when Kreutz is finally done. Hopefully this means that Kreutz has looked healthy enough this offseason to remain an effective starter all year long. It bugs me, however, that this team still lacks a succession plan.

-Illinois is doomed. DOOMED I SAY. God I hate my obligatory rooting interest. Curse my place of birth. I wish I'd been born on vacation.

- Ole Miss-Jacksonville State was hilarious and awesome in a thousand different ways. Tough break, Coach Giggity.

- Lost in the hubbub over North Carolina's valiant comeback effort against North Carolina was the fact that they may not have been down 30-10 in the first place if John Shoop could have been moved to attempt downfield passing BEFORE falling behind by 20 points. Glad to see somethings never change in this crazy world, John.

-I realize UConn isn't a powerhouse, but if Denard Robinson has truly learned how to operate Rich Rodriguez's system with Pat White-ian efficiency, then the Big Ten had best be prepared for some terrifying spread-option chaos.

-Arkansas, SKO's 2010 Mancrush Based Entirely On My Vaguely Homo-Erotic Admiration for Said Team's Quarterback and His Throbbing Armcock, looked pretty damn good in their first cupcake game of the year, with the dreamy Ryan Mallett posting a 225.77 passer rating and 3 TDs in their blowout of Tennessee Tech. Armcock.

- Shame on you if you didn't watch TCU-Oregon State. Here's to a Horned Frog-Boise State national title showdown and BCS anarchy once more.

-Currently watching Boise-VT, and Boise's defensive line looks like it could devour worlds with Cthulhu-esque flair.

That is all for now, minions. I shall post my updated College Football Rankings tomorrow. Football is back. Let us weep the tears of salvation and acknowledge once more the presence of the all-powerful God of Fall.

Bulletin B-02-1

SUBJECT: "Use of Unofficial Operational Names by Banks"

DATE: May 7, 2002

This Bulletin supercedes Bulletin B-96-2 issued on September 5, 1996, concerning the use of unofficial "operational" names by banks for branch locations. On March 30, 2002, an amendment to Rule 0180-7-.09 of the Rules of the Department of Financial Institutions became effective.

Previously, Rule 0180-7-.09 concerning branch name usage and the use of operational or assumed names for branch facilities did not require that institutions disclose their official chartered names on bank signs and certain other advertising and publication related materials. The rule did require institutions to take reasonable care to insure that customer confusion did not occur regarding the official chartered name and location of the institution. Staff were to be educated about the possibility of customer confusion. Also, institutions were asked to include their official chartered name and location of the institution on all legal documentation, checks, cashier's checks, drafts, loan applications, loan agreements, loan documents, certificates of deposit, signature cards, account statements, and other similar documents. Since the initial promulgation of the Rule, the Department has received and reviewed several complaints dealing specifically with confusion as to the name of the institution.

Therefore, to eliminate any further confusion and the potential to mislead the public into believing they are dealing with different institutions for deposit insurance coverage, the amendment to the rule now provides that banks who use an assumed or operational name different from their corporate charter name must disclose - clearly and conspicuously in signs, advertising, and similar materials - that the facility is a branch, division, or other unit of the insured institution. The institution is to exercise care that the signs and advertising do not create a deceptive and/or misleading impression. A copy of Rule 0180-7-.09, as amended, is attached for your convenience. You should be aware that this amendment makes the rule consistent with the Interagency Statement on Branch Names issued by the FDIC, Federal Reserve Bank, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS).

In addition, if the bank intends to change the name of a branch facility after approval of an application to establish the branch is received, notification and approval from the Commissioner is required prior to changing the name.

Please note that compliance with all provisions of this Rule concerning name usage is expected by no later than One hundred-twenty (120) days from effective date of Rule Amendment. However, earlier compliance should be a goal of Management and of the Board of Directors if such can be accomplished.

Compliance with this Bulletin will be verified by the staff of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions at all future examinations/visitations of your institutions. If you have questions regarding this Bulletin or the attachments, please contact our Applications Section (615/741-5018).

Weiser River Trail: Buck-O-Five

Weiser River bear from Jeremy Humphrey on Vimeo.

I spent yesterday biking the Weiser River Trail.  I have raced there, but never biked it.  It is a rather smooth (rocky in places) and gently rolling path next to the gurgling Weiser River.  It travels from the high mountain meadow of New Meadows, ID southward through a deep canyon before reaching farmlands and open country desert, and finally terminates where the river dumps into the Snake River in Weiser, ID.  It is 84 miles one-way.  I got an early start and entertained thoughts of a double crossing.  However, after a few hours, I realized with the fresh crushed rocks laid down recently and a nasty wind swirling, I was not going all the way.  So, I focused on a century ride.  I've never biked more than a few hours, so a hundred would be a good challenge. I would go from the north terminus at Wye Trailhead, south to Midvale and back.  At Midvale, I would stop for a meal at the Country Coffee Cabin for my midday cessation of activities for consumption of mass quantities.  With a few trips off the trail for snacks, Gatorade, etc- I would get 105 miles.

Along the way, I saw: 2 black bears, 2 owls, many elk and deer (whitetail and mule), eagles, hawks, turkeys, ducks, snakes, rabbits, beavers, assorted rodents and fish splashing.  Lots of cattle and horses grazed in the idyllic meadows along the lazy agricultural stretches.

There were 2 bears together in these bushes.  One was much larger, but I could not get her on camera.  I zoomed up to get these pics.  I don't go close to wildlife on purpose.  Except in September.
Typical stretch of river in the middle miles near Cambridge, ID.
Looking north towards Council Mountain on the return trip.
The best Blueberry Pie I've ever eaten at Country Coffee Cabin in Midvale, ID.  After dispatching a double decker "Titan" Burger, fries and a delicious double espresso- I went for this treat.  Tons of fresh fruit, very little sugar and fresh cream.  WOW!  If you are driving up the Rt 95 corridor for any reason, this place should not be missed.

Near Council, with about 20 miles to go, I blew a tire.  Yesterday, I purchased some tools, pump and an extra tube at Gravity Sports in McCall.  I also watched a 2 minute video on Youtube, so I was pretty much a mechanic by that point.  When the tire blew, I got the old one off, switched tubes and pumped it up. had a big tear in it!  I put the old tube back on and tried to get the SLIME to work. I spun it and pumped it and nothing.  I sat there dejected in the stifling heat.  After a while, I decided to walk the bike over to the road and try to hitch a ride up canyon to my rig.  I tried one more session of furious spinning and amazingly it worked.  I pumped up the old tire, with the SLIME now holding and off I went.  It is hard to come back when you have resigned yourself to defeat, but I took this opportunity to challenge my mind and finish it off.  One problem, my ASS HURT HORRIBLY.  "Biking is dumb and I hate it.  Why am I doing this? Why am I wearing my Old Man's cotton bike shorts from 1990?  The chamois is freaking BURLAP! AHHHH." I swear it I felt like I was sitting in a pile of fire ants.  My legs felt fresh, but the saddle sores were sucking my will to live.

Marsh full of ducks near Council, ID.

Bonking, slowing and stopping frequently.  I have some weak Gatorade in the bottle, but it was not getting it done.  I desperately needed fat and protein.  10 uphill miles to go.
Almost done.  Usually, I cringe at the sight of the old Lumber Mill- a blight in the beautiful valley.  After suffering greatly while climbing the final canyon, I was so happy to see it today.  Only 2 miles to go.
Done.  105 miles in 8:30.  3000' vertical gain and loss.
Bike: My wife's Marin mountain bike.  Quite a bit lighter than mine and slimmer tires.

Ultimate Direction 26 ounce bottle in my bike mount.

ND crashes after win/loss on server page.
Since the update after every game i play once the xp has been rewarded and it switches to the new map load screen ND crashes. I cant seem to find any cause for this, and its starting to really bug me, all my drivers are fine, ND is up to date.

Tried reinstaling ND, reinstalling drivers, running in admin mode, nothing seems to work. any one had a problem like this they have sorted, shoudl be able to find a work around if i have some info of a fix to go on

Jamie 2012年12月27日 12時12分
mine wasn't fixed last night, hope it is tonight if not ill do another ND reinstall and see what happens. its an odd thing to happen but it seems to be concerning my ND install something has probly messed up. Still an odd problem
NightLance2063 2012年12月30日 17時53分
I am having the same issue every time the server messege pops up i get a runtime errro with no error code
Jamie 2012年12月30日 18時04分
sorry to say im glad its not just me, i have tried everything short of formating my PC, which wont make a difference as its a new MB and fresh windows. its just really confusing, after a few days of veryfiying files, and nothing being downloaded or changed i found a load of files saying nuclear dawn. failed. huge amount of numbers, these were not there yesterday so im wondering if its a problem writing the profile data and its causing it to crash, though that should be on alot more than just 3 peoples acounts.

I try n fix it almost nightly so if i come across a fix nightlance ill let you know. I would try and contact the coder for the game, he seems a nice chap and has helpped in forums beofre but ill save that one as my last resort if i cant fix it or it sorts its self out.
NightLance2063 2012年12月30日 18時46分
I sent an email to the support for the game maker. If i hear back from them i will post it here
Jamie 2012年12月31日 8時03分
cheers bud, if i find out anything ill let you know as well. (after looking into the files this morning i think it is a profile data error, but i dunno how to fix it yet)
Jamie 2012年12月31日 8時42分
Night can you look in your steam/steamapps/common/nuclear dawn file and see if you have anything like this: (failed)nucleardawn_20121225_223104_1 MDMP

I have 4 of these that if i delete them they return as soon as i load up ND and close it.
NightLance2063 2012年12月31日 12時56分
I have 8 of them
Sexy Iron Maiden 2012年12月31日 13時17分
have you checked the validity of the game cache?
NightLance2063 2012年12月31日 13時58分
yes, and uninstalled, and updated all drivers, replaced all driver, replaced C++ libary, even formated my HDD and tried again
Jamie 2013年1月1日 6時29分
same apart from the formating my HDD, i even tried uninstalling steam this morning and nothing, still the same. Very frustrating.
psychonic  [開発者] 2013年1月1日 15時07分
Try disabling Multi-Core Rendering on the Video tab of the Options.
Jamie 2013年1月1日 17時20分
Thanks psycho, that has done the trick, just got 6 games in and it didnt happen once.
Cannot belive it was something so simple as to click a box.

Cheers bud really decent of you to help out.
Sexy Iron Maiden 2013年1月1日 17時24分

kudos to you
DireGray 8. jan 2013 kl. 10:57pm
Thanks the game does LOOK good but like I said in the video all the small things just compile on top of each other and you forget the atmosphere in favor of a mediocre game.

Fps Drops on Linux
Everything runs fine until the actual gameplay where it gets slow as hell. I've played it in Windows and it runs perfectly fine.

Gnome Ubuntu 13.04 with i3wm
Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz × 2
GeForce 9600 GT/PCIe/SSE2
2,0 Gb Ram

I had the same issue with TF2 but I sort of fixed it by disabling the PowerMizer Monitor. It stil has some drops but it gets playable over time.

Anyone with the same problem?

Same here, allthough I have a Radeon Card.
Maximum details, 1080p, my FPS are cycling between ~100 and ~10. It's unplayable.
On Lower details, it also happens.
BeryJu 5 Mai, 2013 às 5:30
no ♥♥♥♥, we are just reporting
Juubey 5 Mai, 2013 às 6:02
Like BerryJu said, I was reporting the issue and seeing if someone had a workaround fix or detail about it.
|Joffrey| 5 Mai, 2013 às 6:47
I also have issues with the performance of the game. I guess I have a rather weak machine, but nevertheless, even when I decrease the resolution to 640x480 I experience outright lags. The FPS frequently drops from around 60 to around 5. This only happens for the fraction of a second.

My system:
Ubuntu 12.10
Dual Core/HD 4000 Graphics: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz
[LINUX] RyuzakiKK 5 Mai, 2013 às 9:08
same here this "stuttering".
I have Ubuntu 13.04, AMD HD6870 and Catalyst 13.4
Also with all details low I have some fps drop.
sokiskatA 5 Mai, 2013 às 9:55
I have frequent fps drops, but it's definitely playable for me. Sometimes, I get a still frame for a fraction of a second before it goes normal again. I noticed that it was much smoother running in a window, but this is hardly a workaround.
I've also seen captions misbehaving.
I realize my platform is not officially supported, just sharing my experience on:
OpenSUSE 12.2 x64, Nvidia GTX 550Ti with 310.44 drivers.
BeryJu 5 Mai, 2013 às 12:06
You get a better experience if you turn the Shader quality to low. Helped for me, now I can play Portal and L4D2 is kinda playable.
nou 死神 5 Mai, 2013 às 12:29
My main suspect for shutter is texture transfer from RAM to VRAM. I have tested that driver dont't load textures and other resources onto video card unless it is used for drawing. So when you move to new location you get shutter as it must load it onto card. I got it more frequently at the begining of playing and after a while it is better as whole map is in video card memory.
Stormy Skies 5 Mai, 2013 às 12:49
Oddly enough, I don't get much lag. Sure, I will say when I was on Windows it was much smoother on max, but I can acheive a similar smoothness if I just lower a few settings like AA down to none, turn off v-sync, and lowerAF a bit. When I first start a campaign, it is jittery for the first 30 seconds, but it smooths out after a while. So I don't get these low FPS stuff like you're saying, sorry.
L1ntux 5 Mai, 2013 às 13:04
NVIDIA User: Disable the Vsync in Nvidia-Settings. It brings more FPS and no drops.
Ng BUCKWANGS λ 5 Mai, 2013 às 15:39
I'll be honest and I reported on this earlier in another thread. I experienced terrible micro stuttering (game would be perfect for 3-4 seconds then turn to ♥♥♥♥ for a second) and the fix for me is **disabling multicore rendering** **before** getting in a game.

Now, if this works for you, say something positive, otherwise say something anyway as I have other performance improvements in place we can delve into.

I get the stutter at first until I have been in an area for a while. I think nou is onto something.

I'm using an Nvidia 560 ti with default settings and am getting very smooth gameplay, pretty much identical to Windows in fact. I did notice multicore rendering is disabled by default, I just left it that way.

Folklore Snippets - The Grav-so or Ghoul

Apologies for being absent from 'Steel Thistles' for so long!  I lost internet access for TEN DAYS and have been going justabout crazy with frustration.  I won't fill you in on the long sorry story of phone call after phone call to a disbelieving server and a lethargic and disingenuous British Telecom, but finally I'm back.  Without more ado, here's a nice little story about a Ghoul.

From "Scandinavian Folklore" ed William Craigie

This monster is properly a treasure-watcher, and lies and broods over heaps of gold.  For the most part it has its dwelling in mounds, where a light is seen burning at by night, and it is known then that the treasure lies there.  If anyone digs for it, he may always be certain of meeting a ghoul, and that is hard to deal with.  Its back is as sharp as a knife, and it is seldom that anyone escapes from it alive.  As soon as anyone begins to dig in the mound, it comes out and says, “What are you doing there?”  The treasure hunter must answer, “I want to get a little money, and it’s that I am digging for, if you won’t be angry.”  With this the ghoul must content itself, and they make a bargain.  “If you are finished,” it says, “when I come for the third time, then all you find is yours, but if you are not finished by then, I shall spring upon you and destroy you.”

If the man has courage to make this compact, he must lose no time, for if the ghoul comes for the third time before he has finished, it runs between his legs and splits him in two with its sharp back. Old Peter Smith in Taaderup, who is now dead, had the reputation for having got his wealth in this fashion: he and another young fellow were desirous of digging for treasure, and went one night to a mound where they knew that there was a ghoul.  When they began to dig, it came up and asked what they wanted, and then fixed a certain time within which they were to be finished.  They worked now with all their might, and finally got hold of a big chest which they dragged out as fast as they could, but before they had got quite clear of the mound - Peter Smith still had one of his legs in the hole - the ghoul came for the third time and managed to rub itself against Peter’s legs.  Although it only touched him slightly, he had got enough for all his life, for however wealthy he was, his legs were always so feeble he could neither stand nor walk.

What is a dossier?  This is a term that you hear a lot in the world of adoption.  A dossier is the large group of documents that describe the adopting family.  The documents are gathered and submitted to foreign courts.  This bundle of documents is very large and contains more information about yourself and your family than you knew existed.  Every country has their own requirements for dossiers.  For example the Russian dossier for Nolen was hundreds of pages in length.  Russia wanted multiple copies of everything.  The Uganda dossier for the girls only requires one copy of the documents.  Before the documents were sent to Russia they were notarized, county certified, and state apostilled.  I was very excited when we found out the documents for Uganda only required notarizing.
Here is an example of some of the items you will find in an international adoption dossier:
Marriage Certificates
Birth Certificates
Divorce Certificates (if applicable)
Passport Copies
Citizenship and Immigration Approval Letter
Employment Verification Letter
FBI fingerprint background checks
Sex Offender registry background checks
Child Abuse registry background checks
Medical Evaluations For all family members & License of Dr. providing the evaluation
Psychological Evaluations & copy of Dr. license
Financial Statements prepared by a CPA including supporting data & copy of CPA's license
Letters from your mortgage company
Power of Attorney
Home Study
The home study is a document that is prepared for your family by a licensed social worker.  This best way to describe this is a biography of your family.  There is a separate set of documents that are needed for the home study.  Those include:
Medical Evaluations (We even had to have letters saying our dogs were up to date on their vaccines)
Complete Background Checks
Financial Statements including supporting Data
Letters of Recommendation for friends and family
Employment Verification Letters

It takes the average family 3 to 6 months to collect all of the documents for their dossier.  It took us almost 6 months to complete Nolen's.  The girls was done in about a month.

Please continue to vote for the blog.  You can vote once a day.

St Gabriel's Hospital Namitete
Your Support
Partner Organisation Contact

Welcome to the St Gabriel's Hospital in Namitete

Our mission is to provide excellent services to the poor rural community and those in need in a transparent and accountable manner.

The St Gabriel's Hospital was founded in 1959 by Carmelite Sisters from Luxembourg under the Dioceses of Lilongwe. Since its modest beginnings as a small bush hospital, the
St Gabriel's Hospital has come a long way. Today, it is a fully operating, modern hospital responsible for the medical care of some 250,000 people, mostly from the rural areas surrounding Namitete. However, we have also patients arriving from Lilongwe and other parts of Malawi, as well as from Zambia and Mozambique, seeking specialised diagnoses and medical treatments. The hospital now offers 250 beds and treats approximately 12,000 patients (inpatient care), as well as more than 40,000 ambulatory patients per year. The hospital has 24 hospice beds which is a big milestone in the hospital’s history.

Our skilled/dedicated doctors, surgeons, nurses and staff ensure the best possible treatment for all of our patients, whatever their needs.

The Management team is headed by Dr Julamtunda Mbeya, under the guidance of the Board of Governors.

Missed Arbutus Seeds

I have been watching this cluster of spent Arbutus flower parts for weeks.  These flowers displayed female parts so seed was expected.  Seed is formed in what is described as a raspberry like structure.  It seemed likely that the seed cluster would be exposed as it ripened.  Excessive time has passed.  One of these spent flowers was carefully cut free with nail clippers.  It is time to see what is happening.

The center and right most structures proved empty when opened.  Perhaps no pollination occurred.  Carefully watched all summer, nothing was ever going to happen here.

This was found in the litter under the Arbutus plants.  Since it was not attached to any plant, no certain claim can be made that it is in fact an Arbutus seed cluster.  In any event, it is empty the seeds having been shaken loose or carried off.  This year has passed the point of seed collection and I came up empty.  All I have learned for certain is that the seed forms earlier in the year.  Another attempt will be made next year to try and record the actual sequence of seed formation.

If you disregard the leaves pointing into the picture from the edges, you can see the current state of our naturally occurring baby plant growing from seed set last year.  Left to their own devices, our four plants managed to set viable seed and one new plant grew.  Our goal is to continue to fool with mother nature and spread seed in new locations.  We would like to help this native plant return with some force to our small piece of ground.

Backupexec 8.6 and Oracle 9i

I have a customer with an Oracle 9i database which has been live for approx
2 months. He has been doing cold backups. He now wants to backup the
database using BackupExec 8.6 with the Oracle agent. He is running Windows
2000 SP2. The database is in archive log mode. The problem is that a list of
the tablespaces should appear in the backup selection window but it does
The customer has tried to reproduce the problem on two other systems. Using
oracle 9i he reproduced the problem. Using Oracle 8.1.7 on his desktop it
worked fine.

I sent the following link from the veritas support website to him. He has
already read this doc and was already doing what the doc suggested to
resolve the issue.
Any pointers or help is very much apprecitated. Many thanks in advance.

Hi Sharon,

You can use BackupExec only as backup software
without the agent. You can do a full hotbackup
or coldbackup and backup only the backup from
the disk. Obviously you need more disk space.
Don't forget to discard the old archive logs.

Personaly I don't recommend hot backup. If your
client has a time window I will go with cold
backup + the last archive log with status != 'CURRENT'.

My feeling is that Veritas agent is not capable
to work with 9i.

Well it is not a pleasure, but your client will
have a backup.

Good luck!

What is the range of this product?

QA AirPort Extreme Base Station

QA AirPort Extreme Base Station

2 Answers from the Community

  • Best Answer:

    Well... it depends. Away from any sources of interference you could get a range in the hundreds of feet. In an urban setting with other wireless networks, microwave ovens, cordless phones the effective range will be decreased. Walls and other barriers decrease range depending on their metal content (ie, aluminum siding block more than vinyl siding).

    If your primary concern is maximum range, there are other wireless base stations with external antennas or even add-on antennas which may have an edge over Airport. Three features that make the AEBS stand out are the ease of setup/configuration, sharing of printers and hard drives over the network (for backup or sharing), and simultaneous wi-fi signals so older devices won't slow down newer, faster ones. One more thing - you can turn on a separate guest signal for internet-only access, keeping your password-protected network secure.

  • This varies depending on a variety of factors. Here are just a few...

    How many wifi networks are around?
    How dense are the networks around?
    What kind of walls/siding is the signal going though?

    I have read tests of 350 feet with direct line of sight, however this is very unlikely that you will have direct line of slight in typical use.

An Easy And Affordable Way To Improve Your Communication Efforts

Ed Burghard

The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place.
― George Bernard Shaw

PRSSA Conference Learnings

On March 16, 2013 I had an opportunity to speak at a PRSSA Regional Conference hosted by Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. The theme for this conference was “Beyond The Basics”. Over 100 students from 12 Colleges and Universities who are studying public relations participated in the Conference.

PRSSA Overview

PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America) is an initiative of PRSA, which has over 21,000 public relations and communications professional members. The Organization establishes ethical standards for the profession and encourages continuing education.

Ohio University

O.U. is the oldest public institution of higher learning in the state of Ohio. The main campus is absolutely beautiful and located in Athens, Ohio.

The Scripps College of Communication is considered as one of the top 5 programs in the nation. It offers students 40 programs of study ranging from the technical to the visual aspects of communication.

My Topic Personal Branding Through Social Media

I was asked to speak on the topic of the effective use of social media to establish your personal brand. It was a great topic for students who are beginning to think about their life after graduation. I shared my personal experience of having successfully reinvented myself several times throughout my career, and my ongoing experience in the use of social media tools.

If you are interested, here is a copy of my presentation. You may find the tips on how to think through creating a personal brand useful.

My Learnings

I always try to learn something from every experience. Here are 3 key learnings from interacting with the students I would like to share with you.

  • The Communications Profession is in good hands. I was genuinely impressed with the curiosity and caliber of thought I observed fro the participants in this Conference. They were highly attentive and their questions were insightful. Since the participants represented multiple colleges and universities, I believe I got a good cross-sectional look at the future of the communications profession. If you ever get an opportunity to speak with a group of students studying communication, take it. You will walk away with a sense of confidence that ethical and accurate reporting did not die with Edward Murrow.
  • Economic Development Organizations can be more successful by hiring graduates with communication degrees. These students showed genuine interest in exploring economic development as an industry to work in. The knowledge and skills they have on use of “new” media channels can be very helpful for raising the profile of a community for business attraction/retention/expansion or travel & tourism. If a college or university in your Region has a degree offering in the field of communications, I would recommend you have a conversation with the Dean about getting access to the best and brightest graduating talent in their program. I believe you gain a noticeable improvement in the quality of your Organization’s communication if you are able to hire one or more of these talented young professionals, and/or bring one onboard as a paid intern.
  • Communication students are a treasure trove of practical ideas for Economic Development Organizations. One thing I noticed is the sheer amount of online media use by these students. Not only is their knowledge current; but, they are participating in the media with limited to no budget. Imagine the practical and affordable ideas your Organization might get simply from conducting a focus group or brainstorm session with these students. Considering most Economic Development Organizations operate on a tight budget, getting ideas that require minimal investment seems like a valuable gift. Having spoke with the students at this Conference, at a minimum I would recommend that every EDO President sponsor a working session with communication students to generate ideas on how to improve their community’s website. For the cost of several pizzas, these students will undoubtedly give you golden nuggets of information.

It had been awhile since I spoke with students. When was the last time you had an opportunity to interact with them? What are some of the learnings you got from that experience? Does your Organization have employees with a degree in communication? If yes, have these employees provided you a source of competitive difference?

    I was in attendance at the PRSSA Regional Conference and thoroughly enjoyed this presentation. I learned a lot about personal branding and the ability to market yourself. While I am only a freshman, I will use the tools presented to me to create a brand for when I do graduate and need to find a job.

    I am very pleased to hear that you value our influence on the communication industry. The industry is constantly changing and it takes an integrated mindset to stay ahead of the curve. Thank you for all of your great advice at the conference, it was extremely helpful and applicable to my current situation (especially since I am graduating in May). I will never forget to recognize my personal brand as a promise.

Journal creating!

Was a cold day outside . . . I spent the day in, did some organizing.  Not easy with the construction going on.  *smile*   I did work on my journal cover today.  Did some experimenting with matte gel.  Used it as a glue - I am going to play some with water color pencils on the cover too. Journals are a good place to to practice, and to try new things.

Americana is my paint of choice though I do try everything new when I can.  I like to know what is new and improved, and what might work better than what I have now.    I used some paint pens today, clippings that I save that inspire me, and some of my practice sheet.  I cut out and save any of my practice painting that is pretty to use in collage and other art that I create.

Here is some pictures of the studio addition.  If you want to see more feel free to look at my photo album.

I know the picture is dark but the lights cause too much glare in the images with them on.  We start the inside walls next.  It is getting closer to the finish!

Until Next Time,

Art Every Day Month! Here I go . . .

Here I go . . .

Art Everyday Month has begun.   I started on the first with beginning to decorate the cover of a journal.  My intention is to use the journal to create in every day.  Beginning with the AEDM challenge and continuing with CED's monthly challenge.   I create most everyday but have been horrible about blogging it.  Thus the choice of entering the month challenge.  I want to blog my creativity every day, even the days I journal in part or a full page.  Below are some images of what I did yesterday.   I will post today's images later on today.

The above image is of a mixed media visual journal by Strathmore. I love these journals, they come in two sizes (and other style papers). This is the smaller one.  Mixed media paper is thicker and easier to experiment with the different forms of media to create with.  The cover is the typical Strathmore yellow cover, so I painted it -front and back in a warm yellow color.  I added some gesso before painting to give the cover some more strength.  Sometimes I just glue the first page to the cover for strength.  I may still do that later.  That is the fun of free creating, I can change things anytime I want.  LOL

The two images above are a mailbox I am painting.  I am doing some experimenting with the greens in the folk art outdoor paint line, to find some good combos for leaves and frogs.  I like the duller colors on the black more than the brighter colors.  Color pops so much on black, that the brighter colors seem almost too bright.  More work on it later today.

Work continues on the addition to the studio for teaching classes more comfortably.  I am so excited about it.  I will post some pictures soon.  I always intend to post them, just not good at it.

Here I Go . . .

Until Next Time
