WeBWorK uses the Subversion version control system. Subversion's command-line interface is similar to CVS, and was developed to both improve upon CVS but to also be very easy for CVS users to learn. All WeBWorK installations should be transferred from CVS to SVN. Instructions for doing so can be found in Converting a CVS checkout to SVN.
This article gives a brief introduction to Subversion, how to use it to download (or checkout) the WeBWorK code, and how to keep your downloaded code (your working copy) up to date. If you are a WeBWorK developer or plan to start doing WeBWorK development, please also see SVN Commit Access. For a complete guide to Subversion, read the book Version Control with Subversion. This book is especially recommended for WeBWorK developers.
Installing Subversion[edit]
To use Subversion, you have to obtain the official command line Subversion client. Most Linux distributions will have this available in their package repositories, and many install it by default. For example,
- to install Subversion in Ubuntu do
sudo apt-get install subversion
- to install Subversion in Fedora become root and do
yum install subversion
Command line and GUI clients are also available for the Windows and Macintosh operating systems. For Windows users, TortiseSVN is recommended.
Binary installation packages and/or instructions for obtaining those packages for very many different operating systems can be found at http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html.
Information on installing Subversion from source is provided at http://subversion.apache.org/source-code.html.
The repositories[edit]
The WeBWorK subversion repositories store all of the WeBWorK code and the National Problem Library. These repositories are hosted by the MAA at http://svn.webwork.maa.org/ and, in fact, all of the code may be viewed on the web. Subversion also stores the history of all changes to WeBWorK, and copies of all development and production releases.
There are two main WeBWorK repositories. The two repositories are
These two repositories contain all of the necessary WeBWorK software and the National Problem Library. There may be a few other problem library repositories (such as rochester), but those will soon be folded into the NPL.
If you look into these repositories, you will find three main subdirectories. Each repository uses a the fairly standard hierarchy:
- branches
- tags
- trunk
The primary development work is done in the trunk subdirectory. WeBWorK itself is in the webwork2 subdirectory of the trunk, and the PG code is in the pg subdirectory of the trunk. Since many WeBWorK servers run the code in this tree for production usage, patches made in this tree must not break the code. Developers should also avoid rewriting extensive portions of the trunk as well. Such work is typically done in development branches. The trunk of the system repository has many other subdirectories, but these contain specialized sub-projects.
branches is used for major coding work, testing huge patches, and testing unstable patches. Some developers may have their own branch of the code here. It is also used to prepare new stable releases. Each major stable series gets its own directory as rel-<major_version>-<minor_version> or rel-<major_version>-<minor_version>-patches. For example, the current stable release of the WeBWorK code is rel-2-4-patches.
tags is a special hierarchy used to save the state of the software at a given point in the time. You should NEVER make any change to it as this is only useful when releasing new versions. That task is handled solely by the WeBWorK release managers.
The access mechanism to the WeBWorK subversion repositories allows anonymous users to perform any operation which involves only reading data from the repository. For most users, this usually means just svn checkout and svn update, but there are many other more specialized read only subversion commands detailed in the official Subversion book.
Writing data to the repository (such as modifying the WeBWorK code) requires commit access. Like most open-source projects which use a version control system for source code management, the WeBWorK developers grant commit access on a case-by-case basis to individuals who wish to get involved with WeBWorK development and have demonstrated the skills for doing so. See Commit access requests for more information on obtaining commit access, and SVN Commit Access for a discussion of how to use it for development.
Anonymous use[edit]
As mentioned above, the WeBWorK repositories are configured so that anonymous users may perform any read operation (such as svn checkout, svn update, etc.) Below, we discuss the basic use of the most common read-only operations. This article does not discuss commands useful to developers who have commit access. That information can be found in SVN Commit Access. Note that unlike CVS Subversion does not require developers to check out an authenticated working copy in order to commit changes. Access control is only used for commits.
Check out[edit]
The most common use of subversion is to download or checkout the WeBWorK software. In fact, we strongly recommend that you obtain the code via Subversion when installing WeBWorK. For each stable release, we also provide a compressed tarball containing all of the necessary software, but installing WeBWorK from the tarball makes in much more difficult to keep up with updates and bugfixes, and should only be done if subversion cannot be used for some reason. (Click here to get the tarball if you want it.)
To checkout the WeBWorK code and the National Problem Library, you will issue commands with the following syntax. (Note that "co" is short for "checkout" and either may be used.)
svn co http://svn.webwork.maa.org/<repository>/<trunk, branch or tag>/<files> target_directory
In other words, after the base url http://svn.webwork.maa.org, you must first specify the repository (in most cases either /system or /npl). The repository is followed by trunk or a specification of the branch or tag you wish to obtain, and following that you must specify the particular files you wish to download. (The files are typically specified simply by referring to a subdirectory of the repository, such as webwork2, pg or NationalProblemLibrary.)
The target_directory is where in your file system you wish to place the code. Standard installation instructions recommend that the webwork2 code go in /opt/webwork/webwork2, the pg code go in /opt/webwork/pg and the National Problem Library go in /opt/webwork/libraries/NationalProblemLibrary. If target_directory is omitted, the files will be placed in a subdirectory of your current working directory.
So, to review, the required URL structure is:
- transport
- http://svn.webwork.maa.org,
- repository
- /system or /npl (or /rochester/),
- trunk, branch or tag
- /trunk, or e.g., /branches/rel-2-4-patches, or /tags/rel-2-4-7, etc.,
- files
- /webwork2 or /pg (in the system repo) or /NationalProblemLibrary (in the npl repo).
You can browse the code structure using the web interface (ViewVC). Browsing the system repository, you will notice three subdirectories under system:
- the trunk, which is the main development branch.
- the branches, which are used for stable versions of the core WeBWorK and PG code; and for the development of complex features.
- and the tags, which are used to track changes in the released versions.
Note that unlike the old CVS, the URL is used to specify the branch or the tag.
Here are some common examples:
To check out the WeBWorK 2 development trunk into the folder "webwork":
svn co http://svn.webwork.maa.org/system/trunk/webwork2 webwork
To check out the PG development trunk into the folder "webwork":
svn co http://svn.webwork.maa.org/system/trunk/pg webwork
To check out the National Problem Library development trunk into the folder "webwork/libraries":
svn co http://svn.webwork.maa.org/npl/trunk/NationalProblemLibrary webwork/libraries
Many institutions run their WeBWorK installation off of the trunk, and developers are careful to allow this by ensuring changes in the trunk are incremental and do not break the code. In that case the previous three commands will get you all of the WeBWorK software you need to install the system on your machine. (See the appropriate installation manual for information on how to configure your system and complete your WeBWorK installation from here.)
Many other institutions prefer to run their WeBWorK installation off of the current stable release. Doing so will provide a bit more stability. However, updates to such releases only include bugfixes, and you may not have access to the latest features until you upgrade to a new stable release containing those features. This is a trade-off, and each institution will must this decide for themselves.
To checkout the stable release 2.5.0 (September 2011) of the webwork2 and pg code, go to the folder webwork and do
svn co http://svn.webwork.maa.org/system/trunk/webwork2 webwork svn co http://svn.webwork.maa.org/system/trunk/pg webwork
To obtain more recent releases of the webwork2 and pg code using svn go to the folderwebwork and do
svn co http://github.com/openwebwork/webwork2 svn co http://github.com/openwebwork/pg
Note that the National Problem Library repository is not branched - the trunk should always be used. Updates to the NPL usually include only bugfixes in library problems, and occasionally include the addition of new problem libraries contributed from institutions which use WeBWorK. Such changes will never affect the stability or security of your WeBWorK installation, and so regardless of whether your WeBWorK installation is run from the trunk or from the current stable release, you should use the command
svn co http://svn.webwork.maa.org/npl/trunk/NationalProblemLibrary webwork/libraries
to checkout the National Problem Library.
One final comment on branches: All stable releases of the WeBWorK 2 code can be checked out of the repository from 2.0 up to the current stable release (i.e. rel-2-0-patches, rel-2-1-patches, rel-2-2-patches, etc. up to the current stable release). Again, there are no corresponding branches for the NPL, just get the trunk.
Now we come to the third of the three main divisions in the repository: tags. Tags are simply used to mark a particular state of the files in the repository, and are generally used for development purposes or for preparing a stable release (which will appear as a branch). These tagged versions of the software can be checked out just like the trunk or any branch.
For example, the rel-2-4-7 tag is used to mark a particular point in the changes to the WeBWorK code released as version 2.4. To check out this particular version of the webwork2 and pg code do:
svn co http://svn.webwork.maa.org/system/tags/rel-2-4-7/webwork2 svn co http://svn.webwork.maa.org/system/tags/rel-2-4-7/pg
Revision numbers[edit]
Each time a commit is made to a repository, Subversion increments the revision number of the files and directories changed by the commit. Revision numbers allow users very fine-grained control over exactly which version of the software they check out. Subversion will report the current revision number of the repository as a whole each time a checkout is made.
For example, to check out a specific revision in the trunk of the webwork2 code, say revision 6000, do
svn co http://svn.webwork.maa.org/system/trunk/webwork2@6000 some_target_directory
svn checkout -r 6000 http://svn.webwork.maa.org/system/trunk/webwork2 some_target_directory
This can be useful, for example, if your installation is tracking the trunk, and some change is made which breaks your installation or causes unwelcome behavior (rare, but possible). In that case, you can switch to the last known good revision (or any revision) with the command
svn update -r <number>
|Warning :
|Don't leave off the "trunk", "branch" or "tag" part of any checkout. If you leave that off you check out every revision of every file in the repo, which is pretty silly and takes a long time.
Updating your working copy[edit]
Note that in the parlance of subversion, code you have checked out from the repository is referred to as your working copy. One of the primary benefits of using a version control system such as subversion is that it becomes very easy to keep up with updates to the code, including patches, bugfixes, and even larger development changes.
And, once you have obtained a working copies of the webwork2, pg and NationalProblemLibrary you will want to keep them up to date by using subversion to regularly update them.
Happily, this is very easy to do. To update your working copy and get the latest files, switch to the directory you wish to update and use the following command:
svn update (or just: "svn up")
As mentioned above, if desired, you can easily back out of an update by switching back to the appropriate revision number. Also, note that SVN, unlike CVS, doesn't need to be told to prune removed files or create new directories. This is automagic.
This concludes our introduction to subversion and discussion of the structure of the WeBWorK subversion repositories and the two most frequently used subversion commands svn checkout and svn update.
As mentioned above, there are many more read-only commands available to anonymous users. SVN Commit Access primarily discusses commit operations, but also contains a discussion of some read-only operations which may be of interest to those who have made changes to their local working copy of the WeBWorK code but who have not yet begun managing those changes through the central WeBWorK subversion repository or contributing those changes back to the WeBWorK project.
If you are actively modifying WeBWorK to improve it or add new features, we encourage you to make those changes available to all WeBWorK developers and users by managing your development through a branch in the WeBWorK SVN repositories. Doing so is the easiest way for the lead developers to see how your changes can be incorporated into the current code base and the quickest way for your improvements to have wide usage and benefit the students and instructors who use WeBWorK. (Also, they are very talented and might be able to help you!)

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Radiation therapy may cause skin reactions when patients are exposed to high-energy x rays. Studying the genetic pattern of patients before and after radiation therapy may help doctors prevent toxicity and plan the best treatment.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies genetic susceptibility to radiation-induced skin reactions in racial/ethnic groups of patients with breast cancer.
|Condition or disease
|Breast Cancer Cognitive Ability, General Fatigue Pain Psychosocial Deprivation Radiation Toxicity Skin Abnormalities
|Genetic: DNA analysis Genetic: gene expression analysis Other: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay Other: flow cytometry Other: laboratory biomarker analysis Other: questionnaire administration Procedure: adjuvant therapy Procedure: assessment of therapy complications Procedure: quality-of-life assessment Radiation: 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy Radiation: breast irradiation Radiation: external beam radiation therapy Radiation: hypofractionated radiation therapy Radiation: intensity-modulated radiation therapy Radiation: whole breast irradiation
- To develop and validate prediction biomarkers for radiation therapy (RT)-induced acute and chronic skin reactions and quality of life in five racial/ethnic groups of breast cancer patients, Whites*, Black/African Americans, Hispanic/Latinos, Asians/Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders, and American Indians/Alaskan Natives. NOTE: *This stratum is closed as of April 25, 2012.
- To develop polygenic models of RT-induced skin reactions with a comprehensive evaluation of genome-wide nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs).
- To evaluate the levels of DNA damage (Comet assay) and radiosensitivity (Cell Cycle G2 Delay assay) in lymphocytes before and after RT.
- To test the effect of gene-gene and gene-smoking interactions on RT-induced skin reactions.
- To assess race-ethnic differences in RT-induced skin reactions, DNA damage, and radiosensitivity and to determine if the gene effects are consistent across race-ethnicity (gene-race/ethnic interactions).
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to race/ethnicity (Whites* vs Black/African Americans vs Hispanic/Latinos vs Asians/Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders vs American Indians/Alaskan Natives). NOTE: *This stratum is closed as of April 25, 2012.
Patients undergo adjuvant radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery.
Blood and urine samples are collected at baseline and last day of radiotherapy for genotyping, DNA damage, cell cycle assays, urine cotinine, inflammatory immune response biomarkers, and tumor-killing activity by BeadArray System, Comet assay, flow cytometry-based assay, Cell-Cycle G2 Delay Assay, Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) assay, and ELISA.
Patients are assessed for acute toxicity by research staff using the ONS Criteria for Radiation-Induced Acute Skin Toxicity at baseline, week 3, and at 1 and 2 months after radiotherapy. Patients are also assessed for chronic toxicity by research staff using the Chronic skin toxicity questionnaire (RTOG SOMA Criteria for RT- Induced Breast/Chest Wall Late Skin Toxicity) at 6 and 12 months after completion of radiotherapy. Photographs of the breast, chest wall, and contralateral breast are also taken at baseline, week 3, last day of radiotherapy, and at 1, 2, 6, and 12 months after completion of radiotherapy.
Patients complete the Breast Cancer Risk Study Questionnaire, the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Breast (FACT-B), the Modified Skindex, and the B39 Quality-of-Life (QOL) Questionnaire at baseline, last day of radiotherapy, and at 1, 2, 6, and 12 months after radiotherapy.

- Occurrence of RT-induced early adverse skin reaction (EASR) [ Time Frame: 2 months ]The primary endpoint is RT-related skin reactions which for consistency and clarity across the study we will use the term "Early Adverse Skin Reaction" (EASR). Skin reactions will be assessed at 4 time points from the start of radiotherapy through 2 months of the post radiotherapy follow-up period. The Modified ONS Criteria for Radiation-Induced Acute Skin Toxicity will be used for classification of EASRs related to the skin. The primary outcome variable will be the occurrence (or not) of RT-induced EASR defined as a grade 4 or higher toxicity (based on the ONS criteria) during the 2 months of the follow-up period of the study.
- Quality of life as measured by FACT-B [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Quality of life will be assessed using the FACT-B, a modification of the Skindex-16, and a modified version of the NSABP B39 Quality of Life metric.

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO, also eponymously known as Devic's disease) is an immune‐mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that can lead to significant disability. Pediatric NMO is a rare disorder often reported after an infection. The authors report a 16year-old female patient with pemphigus foliaceus who developed subacute optic neuritis followed by cervical transverse myelitis. Restricted distribution of the lesions in the optic nerve and spinal cord was confirmed by ophthalmological evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spinal cord. She was started on intravenous methylprednisolone and then given a maintenance oral prednisone. Subsequently, she was treated with a nonsteroidal immunosuppressant, mycophenolate mofetil, with a target dose of 1000mg twice a day. Over the course of months, patient noted significant recovery of previous deficits and resolution of the cervical cord enhancement, expansion and cystic dilatation that was previously seen. This case is noteworthy for being the first patient reported with neuromyelitis optica associated with pemphigus foliaceus.

I'll warn you up front that this 1950 Buick Sedanette has so many tricks and cool details that I can't possibly cover them all here, so you'll need to call. But the bottom line is that this big pro-street Buick not only has the hardware to back up its outrageous looks, but it was built by an artist who sweated every single detail to make one of the most impressive machines we've ever featured. Given what went into the build, that sticker price is a screaming bargain.
Let's start with the bodywork. Buick's trend-setting Sedanette body style is the epitome of sleek, and lowering it and stuffing it full of oversized rubber only enhances that look. Like all great customs, it's hard to say where the stock stuff ends and the hand-fabricated details begin, but the obvious ones are the frenched taillights and HID headlights, the big honkin' hood scoop, and a shaved deck lid. The sizzling yellow paint is show quality and virtually flawless, with hot licks laid down in the traditional style across the front clip. The hood originally opened from either side, but thanks to some very clever fabrication, now tilts forward to give full access underneath and make clearing that blower a snap. Buick's trademark grille and heavy bumpers have all been refinished to show standards and all the stainless trim has been polished to a mirror-like shine.
The tan leather interior is just as stunning as the bodywork, and there's not a single factory part left inside beyond the glass. Comfortable buckets flank a custom center console, which blends seamlessly with the reworked dashboard. Auto Meter Ultra-Lite gauges fill the center of the dash, just above the ventilation controls and vents, and the AM/FM/CD stereo. Dynaflow script under the dash is a link to the car's Buick heritage, but there's definitely not a garden-variety slushbox under that trigger shifter. The door panels bring the flame job inside with beautifully sculpted details that stand out against the tan leather. The trunk is upholstered with matching materials, as well as a hidden panel that hides the hardware for the Air Ride system.
The engine is a 502 cubic inch big block topped by a 6-71 supercharger. Horsepower? Lots! With Hilborn fuel injection, it has a very cool vintage performance look, and everything under the tilting hood has been polished or plated for show, including the Buick-logo valve covers. There's a huge aluminum radiator up front that keeps the big block cool under any conditions, and despite the massive engine, service access is quite good. Underneath, it's augmented with 4-wheel disc brakes, an adjustable Air Ride suspension, and custom tubular A-arms up front and a 4-link out back. A TH400 3-speed automatic is up to the task and is backed by a Gear Vendors overdrive unit, which permits 70 MPH cruising at just 2200 RPM, even with towering 4.50 gears in the narrowed 9-inch out back. It gets its modern look from a set of huge Boyd Coddington billet wheels wearing 26x10R18 front and 33x22R20 rear tires from Mickey Thompson.
Like I said, there's just too much here to list it all. An incredible build that's ready to cruise or continue collecting trophies, all for a fraction of the build cost. Call today!

Dr Elaine Ferguson, School of Dentistry, has utilised a new technique developed which attaches tiny nano-sized biodegradable polymers to the antibiotic drug – colistin.
Use of the drug colistin to fight infection has been limited as it is known to be toxic to the kidneys and nerves despite the fact that it has been found to be effective against new multi-drug resistant bacteria, like NDM-1.
University scientists believe the new technique will help underused antibiotic drugs like colistin to be used to fight against the spread of life-threatening bacterial infections.
"The technology we've developed came as a direct response to an urgent medical need for better antibiotics to safely treat patients with life threatening infections. Very few new antimicrobial drugs have emerged despite intensive research, with only two new classes of antibiotics developed in the last 30 years," according to Dr Ferguson who worked alongside Professor David Thomas and Professor Timothy Walsh, School of Medicine, to develop the technique.
"Our new approach allows existing effective therapies to be improved to help patients with severe infections who may otherwise suffer significant side effects after treatment.
"The polymer shields the drug molecule making it less toxic to the body while, at sites of infection, there is an enzyme present which removes the polymer- specifically activating the drug where it is needed" she added.
The research was supported by The Severnside Alliance for Translational Research (SARTRE) – a major collaboration between Cardiff and Bristol Universities designed to translate medical research to improve lives.
The seedcorn funding for the research from SARTRE, through the Medical Research Council's Developmental Pathway Funding Scheme, helped the project progress quickly to the stage where additional grant funding has been secured.
Ernest Azzopardi a plastic surgeon studying for his PhD with the group has also been awarded a Welsh Clinical Academic Training Fellowship and a grant from the EU European Social Fund to continue the work initiated with the seedcorn funding.
The team includes materials scientists Dr Peter Griffiths from the School of Chemistry and Professor Terence Cosgrove from the University of Bristol, who have recently secured funding with Dr Ferguson to undertake neutron scattering at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble (France).
Professor David Thomas, who worked alongside Dr Ferguson on developing the new technique, added: "The interdisciplinary nature of our work in drug delivery allows the possibility of developing truly innovative approaches to the management of human disease."

Over the weekend, Mike Huckabee won a straw poll for potential 2012 Republican presidential nominees among attendees of the Values Voters Convention. The former Arkansas governor got 29%. Ex-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Indiana Rep. Mike Pence and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin all followed at 12% each. These straw polls don't mean much. Romney won a similar one earlier this summer at the Conservative Political Action Conference -- for the third year in a row.
But while Huckabee is happy winning this little battle on the long slog toward a GOP nomination, he's looking for an early kill in the bigger war. He went after Massachusetts' own health care plan:
Huckabee – without mentioning the name of his former GOP primary rival, Mitt Romney -- cited Massachusetts' universal health care system as an example of why government-run health care will not work at the national level. Romney signed Massachusetts' health care system into law in 2006 when he was serving as governor of the commonwealth.
Huckabee pointed to Massachusetts polls showing that a majority of voters say the state's health care plan hasn't worked – and has made health care more expensive.
"The average cost nationally for insuring a family of four is $13,000. It's $20,000 in Massachusetts. It's going to bankrupt their entire budget," Huckabee said. "The only thing inexpensive about the Massachusetts health care bill is that you can get a $50 abortion. Frankly, if that's where we're headed with the public option and government-run health care, thank you but no thank you -- our wallets and our babies would be better off without it."
U.S. & World
Huckabee deftly indicts the health plan Romney signed into law on both cost and "values" criteria -- it's too expensive and permits abortion coverage.
Romney fought back:
"This Republican worked to reform health care in my own state," he said. "Not every feature of our plan is perfect, but the lesson it teaches is this: You can get everyone insured, without breaking the bank and without a government option. There is no government option in my Massachusetts reform. The right answer for health care is not more government, it is less government."
While it doesn't answer the abortion problem, this defense is actually more forceful than any Romney presented during the 2008 campaign. Back then, while prominent on the Democratic side (Hillary Clinton was a candidate, after all), health care was somewhat background noise for Republicans who focused on national security and terrorism. Romney tended to distance himself from a policy reform that he championed as governor. He was running in a field which tried to champion small government initiatives following the Bush administration's fall from favor.
Now, in contrast to the plan the Obama administration and Democrats are pushing, the Massachusetts plan looks relatively moderate in comparison. However -- in a warning to reformers, even Massachusetts recently had to pull back on benefits for legal immigrants, thus proving the problem with creating a health-care entitlement.
But this exchange between Huckabee and Romney may prove valuable for Republicans. While Republican members of Congress have introduced their own reform plans, as the minority party they can neither get Democrats to adopt their plans -- or the media to give them fair consideration. It's only with a presidential candidate can GOP health care reform plans get a true airing. Like it or not, Romney's can stand as a jumping off point for future GOP ideas -- perhaps even during the 2010 midterms, .
Let the debate begin!

I understand that the proposals as set out in the Draft Communications Bill would force Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and mobile phone network providers in Britain to install 'black boxes' in order to collect and store information on everyone's internet and phone activity, and give the police the ability to self-authorise access to this information.
When this plan was first floated in April of this year the General Assembly was in session and such was the concern expressed that the meeting approved the following emergency Resolution:
"That this General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches deplores the proposed legislation allowing Government access to all private e-mails, texts, mobile phone and internet use, and calls upon all United Kingdom Unitarians and Free Christians to oppose vigorously this gross violation of the rights of privacy and civil liberty."
The publication of the Draft Bill in no way meets our concerns about the infringement of civil liberties inherent in the proposals.
Unitarians have always been sceptical of the argument that "those who don't break the law have nothing to fear" when used to justify legislation that interferes with the lives of individuals. This has been a charter for increasing Government interference and endangers the traditional relationship between the citizen and the state.

Cat nip... did someone say cat nip!
there's hours of fun here at Talking Animals
even something for Canadians...
i must say i like the idea of gardening more than the reality of it, but i do like having a few summer veges in pots out on the patio too ...
check out oooby.ning.com (oooby stands for out of our own backyards) ... it's got loads of special interest groups (think seed collecting, think compost, think keeping chooks etc etc etc and a lot going on. it was started by a kiwi guy but it has gone somewhat international. i don't visit that much myself (because i only have my few pots of summer veges) but if you want to do more than me, there's a lot of advice and info there.
Compost. Saves you money on fertiliser, saves you money on rubbish collection, reduces water use. Best garden thing ever.
And.... While you make your compost you can also make your own Gas (Advanced users only ;-)
I rather hope I don't have to choose anytime soon between the two,
One can always combine the 2.First tip for drink gardening, eliminate the need for any power tools.Second ,don't buy green or brown gardening tools. go for as bright as possible or be prepared to repeat trip to gardening supplies to replace lost in the garden secateurs,snips , scissors etc.
Third , rest as you need, fast gardening will not achieve the same satisfaction. Seed raising however, is not on my book for fun. That is one slow process that other growers deserve their small income from. I like to support the economy.
Remember herb gardens can do with new soil (can't remember frequency).
It often helps to bed veg or herbs with plants that benefit each other. Marigolds being one. There will be stuff about companion planting on line.
As an aside I found one can combine drinking and renovating as well. First tip, eliminate the need for power tools.....

Lots of basil - it grows fine outside in pots here, not so much in the garden.
Oh, how wonderful! More gardening! Good on you, Damian. Once you get hooked, that's it really. It's a fabulous addiction.
Basil - if you can manage to grow it (try around your tomatoes. The tomatoes aren't affected, but their proximity seems to help the basil), keep picking off the flower spikes, and grab as many growing tips each time you use it. This causes it to branch out wonderfully. I've always finished up as the first really cool nights start setting in with heaps of basil still flourishing. Hint: pick all the leaves, put them in plastic bags, and put them in the freezer. Then you can just break off as much as you want during the winter, and crumble it into your pasta. Yum.
I haven't managed to get out into the garden yet - still hobbling around with wonky ankle - and ran out of cherry tomato seeds. So I'll buy a couple of plants. As they branch out and grow new little branches in the forks (for those who aren't familiar with the term "laterals"), I cut them out and put them in water. After a few days, they sprout roots and you then have new tomato plants.
The other thing is - keep a worm farm. Tiger worms! Nature's little ploughers!
(See! Got me started! Probably never shut up now!)
Our catnip, grown in a pot and now seemingly disappeared, has spread to the garden and every day we get feline visitors cavorting around, chasing one another. Loved that video, Ian D!
Just a question for the gardeners out there. Have any of you been affected recently by the psilid bug that gets into tomatoes and spuds and have you found an organic way of dealing with it? Decimated my toms and spuds last year.

Sound like nasty little bastards--and they have been here only since 2006. Our pests tend to be larger and winged--spent the afternoon putting bird netting over a promising crop of raspberries.
Tony Parker, in reply to
Yeah they aren't nice and the garden centres can only recommend fairly toxic pesticides to counter them which is not really the way I like to garden.

Maybe try soapy water, or a garlic spray. Can't hurt, but might help. You'd need to spray the underside of leaves, which would be quite difficult.
Perhaps there are companion plants?

No! Believe you me . Miss Stella can make a point (often with that look), but the Great Blend was just too much for her to miss. She achieved door/ architrave destruction all on her little lonesome, (which was her point). This bitch, she has her ways.
Tony Parker, in reply to
I do use a mixture of onion, garlic and neem soap to combat some pests on our fruit trees but it's not strong enough for the psilid. I confess to using a chemical this year on my toms and spuds as they were starting out and they seem fine at the moment. Didn't want another season of no spuds and rubbish tomatoes.
I can't find anything to help with these nasties other than the soap, garlic mixture
Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet with chemicals or not grow the plants that are susceptible
Do read the instructions very carefully; these things are safer than the hard greens would have you believe.

Sometimes there just are no natural, organic remedies that work - or work well enough for human consumption of the products, anyhow. Minimising pesticide use is very important, but abandoning them entirely is another thing altogether - and one that involves a great deal of compromise. After all, they were invented for a reason.
I'm a late starter in the veggie garden too (really wish i'd listened more to mum!) but I'm learning & I love it - especially the taste and sense of acheivement. Have a good crop of beetroot, carrots, brocolli, lettuce, corn & tomatoes underway.
Any hints on how to keep the cat from using the garden as a huge litter box?
I've currently got a spiderweb of string between stakes to try & diverte her, but with limited success.

Nah, just grin and bear it :)
Or dig up another patch, just for her. Chances are, and cats being what they are, she'll just use the veggie garden to spite you.

some people sprinkle cayenne pepper or paprika. around (makes the soil rather spicy). Best to cover seeds with chicken netting until they can fend for themselves.
our spinach bolted in all this hot weather, so a poke around in the a recipe book delivered 'bread and sinach gnocchi'. even better on account of using up stuff around the place.
we also have blackcurrants, redcurrants, blueberries, feijoas, blackberries, peaches, <breath in> and garlic, potatoes, beetroot, bokchoy (broccoli failed, badly), and radishes. (oh, and two types of parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary, greek basil, blah blah)
she's been a busy winter. am expecting most of the berries to fail, although the wee fella spent a good part of last feb eating blackberries straight off the (thornless) bush.
and come on Rb, you hated cats and now you're posting pictures of one's harbles.

Have any of you been affected recently by the psilid bug that gets into tomatoes and spuds and have you found an organic way of dealing with it? Decimated my toms and spuds last year.
Just read this on an intensively-horticultural friend's blog:
I'm really going all-out on the companion planting this year. I've got two biodiversity strips going, feeding the bees and hoverflies, though they're still not in full flower. Lots of nasturtiums with the potatoes and tomatoes – this is to provide the right stuff for the insects that combat the new nasty – the potato psyllid. Also putting marigolds and basil with the toms. Tansy with the fruit trees and onions with the carrots.
Nasturtiums have the bonus of being nitrogen-fixers too.
My new veggie garden used to be chock full of worms. Haven't seen a one since the earthquake. I'm trying coffee grounds to attract them back from wherever they went.
Che Tibby, in reply to
plus, you can eat the flowers and seed clusters.
peppery and delicious.
Since this has turned into Gardener's Question Time, two questions for the field:
I'm getting a lot of fruitflies in our worm farm. This is a pain, as it's only about ten feet from our kitchen door, so we always have fruit flies in the kitchen. Any suggestions for keeping the fruit flies down without affecting the worms?
Related: can anyone suggest any worm best practice tips? I've had a worm farm for the last few years, but I can't help feel that I'm probably missing out on Advanced Worm Technique. Anyone got any tips or links?
And finally, someone mentioned coffee grounds. I have access to rather a lot of coffee grounds; but won't they make the soil too acidic for a lot of plants? How do bulk coffee grounds do in a worm farm?
I should point out that I've been growing various plants since I was 19 or so, but I've always been more interested in the ornamental/interesting section of the spectrum rather than food. Trust me, you haven't seen a double-take like the day that I (aged 25, obv a bit pierced/punk) asked my manager for a day off so I could go help man a stall at the Chelsea Flower Show...
Coffee is acidic 3-5 ph but is high in very available nitrogen
Apparently if it was sold a fertilizer it would be 2-33-1
Anyway I mix it with lime (1 part lime to 2 of coffee) for ordinary use, composting etc
Straight it is good for alkaline loving plants and as snail/slug defense wall

DRHOOK- Hard knocks: Skull hematomas can be deadly
Skiing is the most freeing experience in the world: more than figure skating, more than running on the beach with Maggie Moo (my beloved doggy), more than singing to sold-out crowds at Carnegie Hall. (Okay, I might be telling a fib about Carnegie Hall: it's my Walter Mitty dream.)
So skiing this past weekend in Vermont was as good as a free lifetime supply of Ben & Jerry's. Okemo Ski resort was perfect for me; there I felt like Susie Chapstick. The next day at Killington, I was going down the hill like, "La la la la la—aaaaahhh!!" Seemingly hundreds of teenagers were zooming around me and clipping my skis. They were practically Killing-ton me.
What can happen when a careless skier slams into you, and you bonk your head?
Well, first of all, I wear a helmet when I bike, rollerblade, and ski. Some dudes at the ski resort made fun of my spouse's and my helmets. I said, "Hey, they're red and fashionable. Get with it!"
They need to remember stars like Natasha Richardson and Sonny Bono who died in ski accidents. Natasha was taking a ski lesson– sans helmet– and died of an epidural hematoma. Farewell mein lieber Herr, Sally Bowles.
The skull isn't flexible (like Nancy Grace), so if there's bleeding under the skull, there's nowhere for the blood to go, and it squishes the brain. A hematoma is a "bump" like when you bang your leg really hard and get a painful raised bruise. The hematoma is a buildup of blood that can't drain; it takes time for it to be slowly reabsorbed into the body.
From a head injury, there are two main types of hematomas: Epidural (EDH) and Subdural (SDH). SDH occurs from the venous structures of the brain, so the bleeds tend to be slow. In fact, symptoms from an SDH can be so slow that it can take days to weeks before a diagnosis is made.
If the SDH is severe, it presents acutely with impaired thinking and diminished awareness. In fact, 50 percent of the time, the person with an acute SDH will be in a coma. From increased pressure inside the skull, symptoms develop like headache, vomiting, problems swallowing, and stroke-like symptoms, and one pupil could be blown open.
Slower bleeds in SDH are subtler with confusion, poor memory, change in mood, apathy, lightheadedness, and sleepiness.
For some reason, alcoholics are more vulnerable to SDH– and not just because of falling down drunk. Perhaps chronic alcohol use makes bleeding in the brain easier.
Also, older people who fall down and hit their head usually get a CT scan to check for a bleed. Why? The brain atrophies as we get older, meaning it shrinks, and that is a risk factor for SDH. Folks on blood thinners like aspirin or warfarin are definitely more at risk for developing a hematoma.
The EDH usually involves a ruptured artery that can cause death within hours. Most folks with EDH will have a fracture of the skull, so needless to say a headache is usually present before a coma ensues. Strangely (and really unfortunately), there is a "lucid interval" in which the injured person is alert and aware after a transient loss of consciousness. So the injured person might refuse medical attention– only to quickly go downhill within hours, experiencing vomiting, confusion, seizures, paralysis on one side, coma, and eventually death.
Immediate medical attention in an ER after a head injury can save a person's life. And advice to dangerous skiers and snowboarders: Share the mountain! It is a slippery slope between life and death.
Dr. Hook cracks a joke or two, but he's a renowned physician with an interesting website, drjohnhong.com. Email him with your questions.

I'm the queen of saving something, saying I'll use it, and never touching it again. I'll cut off lovely beet greens, or radish greens, putting them in a bowl in the fridge, only for the husband to find it days later, wilted and ready for the compost pile. I'm taking a vow here to be better about it. I am (and you are) paying a premium for quality, local foods and I plan to use every bit, right?
So, this week's "The Lighter Side of Local" has to do with using everything you picked up at market this week, even in ways you might not usually consider. If you can't use it (we're talking vegetables here), it can go in your compost pile and feed your soil. It's a hard transition to make. You're used to trimming off the odds and ends of food and only using the parts you really need. Everything has a use.
What I picked up this week for $16:
1 bunch Swiss Chard - $2
1 bunch radishes - $2.50
2 large bok choy - $4
1 bunch beets - $2.50
1 bunch broccoli rabe - $2.50
boston lettuce head - $2.50
Things to note this week - a lot of things are in abundance, meaning the prices have gone fairly low, which is a huge bonus around this time of year. It means I'll start freezing some of the greens this week most likely, and I'll definitely be buying up more next weekend to put up for the colder months.
This next recipe is one of my "leftover" recipes. I hate cleaning up my beets and radishes and getting rid of those amazing greens that come along with them. They're perfectly edible and actually have a taste and use similar to swiss chard or mustard greens. They're really fabulous in quiches or scrambles. I also had several pounds of homemade chorizo leftover from last month's Charcutepalooza challenge.
Chorizo and Greens Quiche
Serves: 6-8
1 unbaked pie crust (homemade, bought, whatever you like)
1/2 pound chorizo (taken out of the casings if that's how you bought it)
1/2 sweet onion, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 cups roughly chopped greens (beet greens, radish greens, etc)
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 large eggs (I used farm eggs that were smaller, so I used 3 eggs)
2 large egg yolks
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
pinch of nutmeg
1 cup shredded cheddar
Preheat your oven 375 degrees.
Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork. Cover the dough with a sheet of parchment paper. Fill the crust with pie weights or dried beans. Place into your preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the crust is a touch golden and partially baked. Take out of the oven, set aside to cool on a baking race. Turn the oven down to 325 degrees.
In a large skillet oven medium heat, brown your chorizo, transfer to a paper-towel lined plate and set aside.
In that same skillet, over medium heat again, add your onions and cook until tender. Add your teaspoon of minced garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant. You can now add your greens to the mix. Salt and pepper to taste and then add in your crushed red pepper. Cook the mixture until greens are soft and softly wilted. Set aside to cool.
Now, in a large bowl, beat together eggs, egg yolk, milk, heavy cream, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Next, add the chorizo, greens, and cheddar cheese to the egg mixture and stir until combined.
Pour the mixture into your cooled, partially-baked pie crust. Place into the oven and bake until the top is golden brown and the quiche is set in the middle. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
Allow to cool five minutes before serving.

Here is a simple way to control who downloads your files...
You will have to set: $filename, $downloaddir, $safedir and $downloadURL.
Basically $filename is the name of a file, $downloaddir is any dir on your server, $safedir is a dir that is not accessible by a browser that contains a file named $filename and $downloadURL is the URL equivalent of your $downloaddir.
The way this works is when a user wants to download a file, a randomly named dir is created in the $downloaddir, and a symbolic link is created to the file being requested. The browser is then redirected to the new link and the download begins.
The code also deletes any past symbolic links created by any past users before creating one for itself. This in effect leaves only one symbolic link at a time and prevents past users from downloading the file again without going through this script. There appears to be no problem if a symbolic link is deleted while another person is downloading from that link.
This is not too great if not many people download the file since the symbolic link will not be deleted until another person downloads the same file.
Anyway enjoy:
$letters = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
srand((double) microtime() * 1000000);
$string = '';
for ($i = 1; $i <= rand(4,12); $i++) {
$q = rand(1,24);
$string = $string . $letters[$q];
$handle = opendir($downloaddir);
while ($dir = readdir($handle)) {
if (is_dir($downloaddir . $dir)){
if ($dir != "." && $dir != ".."){
@unlink($downloaddir . $dir . "/" . $filename);
@rmdir($downloaddir . $dir);
mkdir($downloaddir . $string, 0777);
symlink($safedir . $filename, $downloaddir . $string . "/" . $filename);
Header("Location: " . $downloadURL . $string . "/" . $filename);
Symlinks on windows are created by Symlink() which accept only absolute paths but not relative paths .relative paths on windows are not supported for symlinks
The one difference to using symlinks for controlled file access vs. readfile() is that the HTTP server will handle content-type of the symlink automatically.
If you always want it to be downloaded, this can be a negative point. However, if you want a file of non-predefined type to be viewable in the browser, this can be a real asset.
Of course, you can use fileinfo/mime-magic to do that, but those require a module which isn't always available on shared hosting.
sym/hard linking i love to do it relative a lot but not that trivial when thinking wrong :-)
manpage says: the target is the _linkname_ and from that point to create relative links successful is to start from the directory where the link should be created e.g.:
chdir( realpath(dirname($target)));
You need to create/find out the relativ path to the source, otherwise the absolut path will be used in a link.
if you start to create the target path from the source eg:
"/myfiles/now/here/../../later/" and links should go to /myfiles/later/ you need to use realpath( dirname() ) set the new location using chdir() and start from here to link to the source which is ../now/here/
This you can find out e.g.: when having the absolut path of source and target:
$dirTo = realpath(dirname($to));
$linkName = basename($to);
$target = $dirTo . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $linkName;
$srcFile = getRelativeDirectory($from, $to); //basicly a function which will find the from -> to, but in this case the from ist the target where you need to start.
below you can find some examples how to split the path in chunks to find a relativ path
This function sometimes just fails to work for no appearent reason, returning FALSE and not creating a symlink. Doing the same with exec('ln -s source dest') works perfectly. I recommend using the latter.
Context: php cli on windows OS.
Do not forget to start the console with "Run as Administrator" else symlink will return 'false' and raise the following error :
Warning: symlink(): Cannot create symlink, error code(1314)
On IIS (Internet Information Services), you need to set permissions to allow the creation of symbolic links.
Go to Local Security Policy -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment and right click on Create symbolic links -> Properties -> Add User or Group and add the "IUSR" user, which should be the user associated with IIS.
A restart may be required.
If this doesn't work, go to IIS Manager -> Authentication -> select Anonymous Authentication -> Edit and enter your current logged in user, which should be an administrator.
Hit OK and now the symlink() function in php should work fine.
Be warned that at least with php 5.3 on windows 2008 R2 the symlink function is effected by the statcache.
I got error 183 indicating the link existed. While the symlink was actually moved to a different location by another process and would certainly not exist anymore.
Calling clearstatcache with a filename does not work. Most probably as the filename is converted to a device path (e.g. "\Device\HarddiskVolume1\D-Drive\www\pp\#static\index.html") which is a requirement for the windows call.
easiest is to just call clearstatcache without a filename to resolve the issue.
if you really want to call clearstatcache with a filename you could use readlink on the already deleted symlink (that still lives in the statcache) to get the filename.
For example something like this:
//link failed, perhaps a statcache issue? We try to get the target, if it is a statcache issue this should work just fine
if(($rl = @readlink($target))===false) return false; //not a cache issue as stat on a non-existing file failed, something else must be wrong...
//clear the stat cache for the actual target, strangely enough this works even-though this is the target and not the symlink to be created (*)
if(@symlink($source,$target) ===false) return false; //can't create the symlink
*It looks for PHP on windows like the statcache is maintained on the target instead of the actual symlink (this would ease in getting the file properties and limit the size of the statcache)
* A function to emulate symbolic links on Windows.
* Uses the junction utility available at:
* http://www.sysinternals.com
* Note that this will only work on NTFS volumes.
* The syntax of the junction utility is:
* junction <junction directory> <junction target>
* Note that the parameter order of the Junction command
* is the reverse of the symlink function!
* @param string $target
* @param string $link
function _symlink( $target, $link ) {
if ($_SERVER['WINDIR'] || $_SERVER['windir']) {
exec('junction "' . $link . '" "' . $target . '"');
} else {
function _unlink($link ) {
if ($_SERVER['WINDIR'] || $_SERVER['windir']) {
exec('junction -d "' . $link . '"');
} else {
Olszewski_marek makes a good suggestion, but the readfile() function can also be used to obscure file downloads from end users.
/* Setup the file that will be sent */
$downloadDir = "some/secret/directory/";

To remove symlinks you need to use:
- rmdir() on Windows
- unlink() elsewhere
function removeSymlink($path) {
if (PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX==='dll') {
return rmdir($path);
return unlink($path);
If symlink seems not to work correctly, try to define the target argument as an absolute path.
Coding on MacOsX PHP5.5, I noticed that in some cases using an absolute path on the target argument was the only way I could have a proper symlink created.
Um, duh... that's all I gotta say about by previous note. Please delete it. :)
Windows Vista has its own symlink program now (mklink). Hopefully future versions of PHP for Windows will have this function put it?
Anyway, this will work on Vista (assuming your PHP user has the proper permissions):
define('SYMLINK_FILE', 0);
define('SYMLINK_DIR', 1);
define('SYMLINK_JUNCTION', 2);
function symlink ($target, $link, $flag = SYMLINK_FILE) {
switch ($flag) {
case SYMLINK_DIR: $pswitch = '/d'; break;
case SYMLINK_JUNCTION: $pswitch = '/j'; break;
case SYMLINK_FILE:
default: $pswitch = ''; break;
// Change / to \ because it will break otherwise.
$target = str_replace('/', '\\', $target);
$link = str_replace('/', '\\', $link);
return exec('mklink ' . $pswitch . ' "' . $link . '" "' . $target . '"');
To make your code portable on unix AND win32, do the following
1. Download http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/linkd.zip
2. Unzip, put linkd.exe in C:\Windows\System32 or C:\WINNT\System32
3. Include in your code the following
function _syslink($t /*target*/ ,$l /*link*/ ) {
if ($_SERVER["WINDIR"]) {
exec("linkd ".$p.$t." ".$p.$l);
} else syslink($t,$l);
function _unlink($l /*link*/ ) {
if ($_SERVER["WINDIR"]) {
exec("linkd ".$p.$l." /D");
} else unlink($l);
4. Enjoy
_symlink(TARGET,LINK) works like symlink() on *nix
_unlink(LINK) to delete properly the link created
Olszewski seems pretty good, but just to boost the security a bit, the fifth line of his script should read
$q = rand(1,26);
instead of rand(1,24).
Keep in mind when using a shared filesystem such as NFS, that you probably don't want to create a symbolic link with absolute paths e.g.
On Server1 you are running a PHP script that needs to create a symbolic link called widget2 which links to widget1 inside an NFS share mounted on your localhost at /mnt/nfs/widgets
On Server2 this same NFS share is mounted under /usr/local/widgets
If you used absolute paths on Server1, then Server2 would try to reference /mnt/nfs/widgets/widget1 which it won't be able to find...
You need to cd into the directory first, then create the link - that way the link will be relative. Unless you run the PHP script from the same directory where you'll be creating the symbolic links, then you can't use symlink(). Use exec() instead as follows:
exec("cd <nfs mount path>; ln -s <target> <link_name>");
Olszewski's method of creating downloadable links on the fly is pretty good.
I use a different technique under Apache where if you want a file, you might use a url like:
But in fact Apache redirects this to a script with a url like:
(The browser address bar will still show the first url).
The script downloadfile.php can then handle all the mucky stuff like checking session variables to see if someone is logged on, whether they have access to mysecretfile.doc, and if you want to encrypt before download.
An advantage of this is that the php code to achieve the equivalent of Olszewski's is shorter, so might execute faster. But more importantly, a casual hacker might think all he has to do is find myverysecurefile.doc under the /home/user/public_html/files/mysecretfile.doc, or copy the url - but there's nothing there! He won't find it or get an Apache error page.

Like police officers, actors appreciate a great partner at their side. And "End of Watch's" Michael Pena's becoming the go-to guy they want covering their back.
Pena's delivered a consistent string of standout performances in films of virtually every genre since his big breakthrough in 2004 with "Crash" and "Million Dollar Baby" – his subsequent resume includes compelling turns in a diverse array of movies including "World Trade Center," "Observe and Report," "Battle: Los Angeles" and "The Lincoln Lawyer."
For "End of Watch," an alternately harrowing and humorous found-footage-style narrative from writer-director David Ayer, Pena teams with Jake Gyllenhaal to play two young, capable but sometimes cocky patrol officers working the dangerous and violent streets of South Central Los Angeles while also trying to navigate complicated personal lives.
What was the lure of 'End of Watch' for you?
It was the writing. David Ayer wrote a fantastic script. I really wanted the part, but I remember I was a little bit overweight – you know, I showed up kind of plump-y, and he goes, 'What do you want to do?' I was like, 'I'd just love the part, man,' and the first audition went okay. I'm just a big fan of the writing. I loved 'Harsh Times' and obviously liked 'Training Day,' and I just wanted to be part of that movie.
It's such an intense screen experience. How intense was the atmosphere on the set?
It was pretty intense. We had four months of preproduction, and we were S.W.A.T.ing three times a week. So that kind of puts you in the zone of what it's like, and then we did a lot of ride-arounds as well, and that puts you in the zone of what it's really like to be in South Central. But once we were shooting we just let go and had fun.
Talk a little bit about the police ride-along experience and what you learned.
It's one thing reading the script and looking at the theory of it, and it's another thing actually going out. And I remember the first time I was filled with intense anticipation as to what could happen, and I didn't know what was going to happen. And when you're on these ride-alongs and these guys are pulling people over and going to a house that like has a bunch of thugs in it or whatnot, it brings up your adrenaline and your awareness level. And I didn't have any training at the time. So it's kind of like right in the teeth of a bear. Like what do you do? What do you do? And these guys, you know, my respect for these guys went up so much because it's not something that I'm used to but it's actually seeing it really happen.
Did you see anything extra scary while you were out there?
Yeah. You saw people shot. You see people that are stabbed, running around. You see women that are beat up and they're trying to make sure that their husbands don't go to jail. It's a weird, weird thing.
What was the cop skill that you were able to get really good at? And what was the thing that you never quite mastered?
The thing that both Jake and I got really good at is shooting handguns, because we shot so much. It was pretty incredible. And then the one thing that I wasn't too good at, for some reason I just couldn't get it, was the freaking handcuffs, man! Like, really tossing them on there and making it look easy to slip on those handcuffs.
So much of what you and Jake are doing in the movie looks natural and real. How much of it was already on the page? And how much of it did you guys just kind of create in the moments?
Well, I'm going to say 98% of the movie was scripted. I mean, there's some things that we rehearsed, I think, like a hundred times. Because we knew it was kind of like a documentary-esque kind of movie – we knew the kind of camera that we wanted to use, and so that's kind of like the style that you can't really go broad with. You have to keep it as real as you possibly can for this specific style of movie. So we worked really, really hard on trying to keep it as natural as possible – that was a very, very conscious decision – and make it look like improv.

Well, that didn't take long. Chambers Bay hasn't been open a year and it has already booked a U.S. Open. It will also host the 2010 U.S. Amateur.
"We are excited to take the U.S. Open Championship and the U.S. Amateur to such an awesome site," Jim Hyler, chairman of the USGA Championship Committee, said in a statement.
"This is the first time the U.S. Open has been to Washington and we are confident that the golf course will provide a challenging test for the best players in the world, as well as a great spectator experience for those who attend the event and watch it online and on television."
Judging from the photographs and most of what I've read (see links below), the Robert Trent Jones Jr. and Bruce Charleton design is phenomenal.
Caddie's Wife Tipped Me Off
The wife of a former Tour caddie I met at the Legends of Golf sounded the alert about Chambers Bay in April of last year.
"Yesterday Gil (not his real name) caddied at the new Chambers Bay Golf Course in Tacoma," she wrote in an email. "It isn't open yet so it was the FIRST time anyone played the course.
"All the employees played for the experience and Gil got to caddy for the assistant pro. He said it is the most beautiful golf course he has ever seen. He has seen several, so that's quite a statement. It's located in University Place with a gorgeous view of Puget Sound. He also stated the elevation was absolutely astounding!
"Gil will get to play the course for free if he caddies there occasionally, which thrilled him as it is very expensive. (Editor's note: up to $150/round.) He was so impressed with the course our entire dinner conversation revolved around it!"
My first post last spring on Chambers Bay attracted a lot of comments. Most were positive, some were negative. You can read many of them here:

Why Chambers Bay Snagged the 2015 U.S. Open
4 comments:
Great info...thanks.
Winged Foot rejects to have it, USGA moves it to WA and 60k people a day @ 100 a pop.
For the Good of the Game!
I am going to play the course in the next few weeks and will let you know what I think of it.
Just at first glance the course seems so different than what you think of when you think of the typically open course. I am excited for WA and the whole Northwest to bring both the Amatuer and the Open here. There are a lot of avid and hardcore golfers around here.

Just played Chambers Bay. Unbelievable!!!! You got to get out and play this course. I have never played anything like this around here.

text: I would greatly appreciate some quick guidance here. I can follow directions so I think I'll be good to go. I run a business and I simply cannot stay on top of this stuff as I would like. 1. Is the Charge even worth the time to root/rom? Should I rather look at purchasing a different phone first? 2. If I should keep it, just follow the above sticky for "How to ROOT your Droid Charge?" Is there a better, more update way? 3. Should I install Odin as well? 4. I simply do not have the time to try various ROM's. At least not at this time. So I would ask, I know it's personal preference; however, is there a "most popular" ROM I should just go with? 5. Primarily, my reasons for rooting are: Increased batter life (I already have the extended battery) I have an unlimited plan and would like to implement a hotspot for free. (Suggestions here?) Performance (which version of Android would you suggest?) Again, I am very grateful for any help.

So after spotting this recipe in my "Good to Know Recipes" magazine I had to make it and use it as my motivation to get back on track. This meal reminded me I can still enjoy tasty and satisfying food while it remains heathly for me.
This chicken tagine recipe was very quick and simple to make, only 340cal per portion, absolutely delicious and bursting with flavour. You would never have guessed this was such a low calorie dish. It is definitely one I urge you to try.
Serves 4
For the tagine:
1 tsp olive oil
1 small onion, peeled and sliced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 tbsp tomato purée
1 tsp Moroccan spice mix (or use ½ tsp cumin, ½ tsp coriander and ⅛ turmeric)
200g tin chopped tomatoes
210g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tbsp granular Canderel (artificial sweetner)
300g chicken breast, diced
Salt and pepper
For the couscous:
125g couscous
200ml hot chicken or vegetable stock
Juice and zest ½ lemon
Handful freshly chopped coriander (I used fresh parsley)
Heat the oil and cook the onion for about 3 mins until starting to soften. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for a further 2 mins. Stir in the tomato purée and spice mix and cook for 1 min, stirring often until everything is well coated.
Pour in the tomatoes, chickpeas, Canderel and season. Bring to the boil, then add the chicken and leave to simmer for 10-15 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Meanwhile, tip the couscous into a large bowl. Pour over the hot stock, cover the bowl with clingfilm and then leave for 10 mins. Squeeze over the lemon juice, add the lemon zest and coriander and mix in, fluffing up with a fork. Serve immediately with the chicken tagine.

Nearsightedness (myopia) is a
common cause of blurred vision. It can be mild, moderate, or severe. If you are nearsighted, objects in the distance
appear blurry and out of focus. You might squint or frown when trying to see
distant objects clearly. View a
photo as seen through a normal and a nearsighted eye.
Nearsightedness is usually a variation from normal, not a disease. Less often,
nearsightedness happens because of another disease or condition.
Most nearsightedness
is caused by a natural change in the shape of the eyeball.
Less often, nearsightedness may be caused by a change in the
cornea or the lens.
These problems cause light rays entering the eye to focus
in front of the retina. Normally, light focuses directly on the
retina. See a picture of the
parts of the eye.
There is nothing you can do to prevent nearsightedness.
The main symptom is blurred vision when looking at distant objects. You may have
trouble clearly seeing images or words on a blackboard, movie screen, or
television. This can lead to poor school, athletic, or work performance.
Your child may be nearsighted if he or she squints or
frowns, gets headaches often, or holds books or other
objects very close to his or her face. Children who are nearsighted may sit at
the front of the classroom or very close to the TV or movie screen. They may
not be interested in sports or other activities that require good distance
If you think that your child may be nearsighted, see an eye care
specialist. Treating nearsightedness
early may prevent children from having trouble in school and in social
Nearsightedness usually begins in childhood between ages 6 and 12. During the teen years, as the eyeballs continue
to grow, it may develop or get worse quickly. Teenagers may need
new glasses every 12 months or even more often.
usually stops getting worse by age 14 to 16 in women and by the mid-20s in
men. Most nearsightedness stabilizes at a mild to moderate
A routine eye
exam can show whether you are nearsighted. The eye exam includes questions
about your eyesight and a physical exam of your eyes. Ophthalmoscopy,
tonometry, a slit lamp exam, and other vision tests are also part of a routine
eye exam.
Eye exams should be done for new babies and at all
well-child visits.1 Nearsightedness is usually first discovered in children of grade-school
Most people who are nearsighted use eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct their vision.
Surgery can also reduce or fix nearsightedness. There are several surgery options, such as
LASIK, PRK (photorefractive keratectomy), and artificial lens implants. The goal of surgery
is to help you see more clearly without glasses or contacts. Most doctors consider
20/40 vision or better after surgery a satisfactory
result. People with 20/40 vision or better are allowed to drive a car without
corrective lenses.
If glasses or contact lenses are inconvenient for your work or lifestyle, surgery may be a good choice. But nearsightedness is not a disease, and a nearsighted eye
is otherwise normal and healthy. Weigh your desire to have clear
vision without glasses or contacts against the risks and cost of surgery. And be aware that you may still need to wear glasses or contact lenses
after surgery.
If you are nearsighted, get regular eye exams, and see your eye care specialist if you have changes in your vision.

Seaflow's range of silicone rubber hose has been specifically developed for use in coolant, heating and turbocharger systems. Silicone hose is particularly designed for carrying water and anti-freeze and also has good resistance to oil splashing, although it is not generally intended to transfer oils or fuels. Combining this with high performance materials and construction, as well as hose flexibility, the Seaflow range of silicone hose is an ideal and reliable replacement for engine coolant and heater hose. It is also suitable for use as a flexible joint between rigid pipes or anywhere where the silicone construction is more beneficial to rubber.
Silicone hose lengths are made from plied silicone that has been reinforced with polyester, making it extra strong. It is highly resistant to oxygen, ozone, water, sunlight and UV radiation, and also offers excellent resistance to compression. The hose has high electrical insulation qualities and is also very reliable working in extreme low and extreme high temperatures. These properties make silicone hose compliant to SAE J20 R1 (Class A), meaning it is perfect for use in the marine industry.
These blue silicone hose specially shaped adaptors are suitable for specific applications such as calorifier take-off, water pump outlet and exhaust outlet.

Steve Kerr must be retarded. 32M for Channing Frye...INSANE
Kerr is no longer the Suns GM.
STAT 5 year 100 million is all over the web. Could be official by tonight.
Free agents cannot be officially signed until July 8th I believe, the furthest we can go is to agree in principle.
With that being said, I am praying this Amare thing is not the only big splash we make.
Paul Pierce and the Celtics have finalized a four-year, $61 million contract.
RealGM Note: Pierce passed up the final season of his contract, worth $21.5 million, in order to agree to a long-term contract.

Eh...thats like what, 15 mil a season?
There are rumors of three-way trade discussions among Golden State, Minnesota and New York, in which Al Jefferson would be sent to the Warriors, David Lee to the Timberwolves, and Monta Ellis to the Knicks.
Lee visited Minnesota on Saturday but the team holds only $7 million of salary-cap space which means that Lee would be looking for a sign-and-trade to get him to the Wolves at a contract nearer to his market value.

The camp concludes on Wednesday night.
Read more: http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archiv...#ixzz0skK1BUlnWith what is expected to be the final week of the LeBron James free-agency saga about to unfold, Chris Sheridan of ESPN offers some of the key strategic considerations that are in play.
Another free agent who could ultimately figure into all of this is the Knicks' own David Lee, who Sheridan reports is amenable to going to Toronto in a sign-and-trade for Chris Bosh.
The Knicks have communicated to Amar'e Stoudemire that they are willing to offer him a maximum-salary contract of $100 million over 5 years without yet making him a firm offer.
The reason the Knicks are holding off is to wait for decisions from James, Bosh and Dwyane Wade.
At the heart of the matter is with whom James and Bosh prefer to play and in which city each prefers to play.
On Thursday, New York's management told James he can bring any other maximum-level player with him, or he could agree to play with David Lee re-signed by the Knicks at some number below the max-salary amount.

Nowitzki will be guaranteed $80 million over the length of the contract and accepted less money in order to give the Mavericks more room to make additional moves.
Nowitzki's deal also contains a no-trade clause.
RealGM Note: Nowitzki has spent his entire career with Dallas since coming into the NBA in 1998 and was seen as the least likely player to leave his incumbent team.

No to Ellis, he's everything wrong and everything we should stay away from me.
Keep updating this guys, I wanna see whats going on around the NBA.
JJ- 6 years $119 million .....EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, awful awful contract. Another classic case of a would be amazing "sidekick" getting paid "first-option" money. Man JJ should look at Pau Gasol. The guy accepted the sidekick role and hes flourishing. If only he would have sacrificed some money to do the same. Sucks for him and the Hawks now. Every wrong thing he does will get criticized so badly now that he's getting paid like Wade and Lebron.
Pierce's 4 year 61 million deal is very fair for both sides. I hate Pierce, but a neutral NBA fan has to appreciate one player trying to stay in one place his whole career. Now we'll see if they get Gay Allen.
Nowitski's 4 year $80 million is also pretty good for both sides. I think 3 out of the 4 years he'll continue to put up good numbers, but when hes 36 I wonder how good he'll be. To bad he'll never win a championship...cuz NYC is finally legit lol.
