This module provides the tutorial for Control.Pipe.
This library represents streaming computations using a single data type:
Pipe is a monad transformer that extends the base monad with the ability
await input from or
yield output to other
Pipes resemble
enumeratees in other libraries because they receive an input stream and
transform it into a new output stream.
I'll introduce our first
Pipe, which is a verbose version of the Prelude's
take function:
take' :: Int -> Pipe a a IO () take' n = do replicateM_ n $ do x <- await yield x lift $ putStrLn "You shall not pass!"
Pipe forwards the first
n values it receives undisturbed, then it
outputs a cute message.
Let's dissect the above
Pipe's type to learn a bit about how
Pipes work:
| Input Type | Output Type | Base monad | Return value Pipe a a IO ()
awaits input values of type '
a' from upstream
Pipes and
yields output values of type '
a' to downstream
take' uses
IO as its base monad because it invokes the
putStrLn function. If we
were to remove the call to
putStrLn, the compiler would infer the
following type instead, which is polymorphic in the base monad:
take' :: (Monad m) => Int -> Pipe a a m ()
Now let's create a function that converts a list into a
Pipe by
each element of the list:
fromList :: (Monad m) => [b] -> Pipe a b m () fromList = mapM_ yield
Note that
fromList xs is polymorphic in its input. This is because it
does not
await any input. If we wanted, we could type-restrict it to:
fromList :: (Monad m) => [b] -> Pipe () b m ()
There is no type that forbids a
Pipe from
awaiting, but you can
guarantee that if it does
await, the request is trivially satisfiable by
supplying it with
Pipe that doesn't
await (any useful input) can serve as the first
stage in a
Pipeline. I provide a type synonym for this common case:
type Producer b m r = Pipe () b m r
Producers resemble enumerators in other libraries because they function as
data sources.
You can then use the
Producer type synonym to rewrite the type signature
fromList as:
fromList :: (Monad m) => [b] -> Producer b m ()
Now let's create a
Pipe that prints every value delivered to it:
printer :: (Show b) => Pipe b c IO r printer = forever $ do x <- await lift $ print x
printer is polymorphic in its output. We could type-restrict it to
guarantee it will never
yield by setting the output to
Void, from
printer :: (Show b) => Pipe b Void IO r
Pipe that never
yields can be the final stage in a
Pipeline. Again,
I provide a type synonym for this common case:
type Consumer b m r = Pipe b Void m r
So we could instead write
printer's type as:
printer :: (Show b) => Consumer b IO r
Consumers resemble iteratees in other libraries because they function as
data sinks.
What distinguishes
Pipes from every other iteratee implementation is that
they form a true
Category. Because of this, you can literally compose
Pipes into
Pipelines using ordinary composition:
newtype PipeC m r a b = PipeC { unPipeC :: Pipe a b m r } instance Category (PipeC m r) where ...
For example, you can compose the above
Pipes with:
pipeline :: Pipe () Void IO () pipeline = unPipeC $ PipeC printer . PipeC (take' 3) . PipeC (fromList [1..])
The compiler deduces that the final
Pipe must be blocked at both ends,
meaning it will never
await useful input and it will never
yield any
output. This represents a self-contained
Pipeline and I provide a type
synonym for this common case:
type Pipeline m r = Pipe () Void m r
Also, I provide
<+< as a convenience operator for composing
without the burden of wrapping and unwrapping newtypes:
p1 <+< p2 == unPipeC $ PipeC p1 . PipeC p2
So you can rewrite
pipeline as:
pipeline :: Pipeline IO () pipeline = printer <+< take' 3 <+< fromList [1..]
Like many other monad transformers, you convert the
Pipe monad back to the
base monad using some sort of "
run..." function. In this case, it's the
runPipe function:
runPipe :: (Monad m) => Pipeline m r -> m r
runPipe only works on self-contained
Pipelines, but you don't need to
worry about explicitly type-restricting any of your
Pipes. Self-contained
Pipelines will automatically have polymorphic input and output ends and
they will type-check when you provide them to
Let's try using
runPipe pipeline1 2 3 You shall not pass!
Fascinating! Our
Pipe terminates even though
printer never terminates
fromList never terminates when given an infinite list. To illustrate
why our
Pipe terminates, let's outline the
Pipe flow control rules for
Pipes are lazy, so execution begins at the most downstream
printerin our example).
- Upstream
Pipes only run if input is requested from them and they only run as long as necessary to
yieldback a value.
- If a
Pipeterminates, it terminates every other
Pipecomposed with it.
Another way to think of this is like a stack where each
Pipe is a frame on
that stack:
- If a
awaits input, it blocks and pushes the next
Pipeupstream onto the stack until that
yields back a value.
- If a
yields output, it pops itself off the stack and restores control to the original downstream
Pipethat was
awaiting its input. This binds its result to the return value of the pending
All of these flow control rules uniquely follow from the
Category laws.
It might surprise you that termination brings down the entire
until you realize that:
- Downstream
Pipes depending on the terminated
Pipecannot proceed
- Upstream
Pipes won't be further evaluated because the terminated
Pipewill not request any further input from them
So in our previous example, the
Pipeline terminated because "
take' 3"
terminated and brought down the entire
Pipeline with it.
Actually, these flow control rules will mislead you into thinking that
Pipes behave as a collection of sub-
Pipes with some sort of
message passing architecture between them, but nothing could be further from
the truth! When you compose
Pipes, they automatically fuse into a single
Pipe that corresponds to how you would have written the control flow by
For example, if you compose
printer and
printer <+< fromList [1..]
The result is indistinguishable from:
lift (mapM_ print [1..])
... which is what we would have written by hand if we had not used
at all! All
runPipe does is just remove the
Given a loop like:
loop :: IO r loop = forever $ do x <- dataSource y <- processData x dataSink y
We could decompose it into three separate parts:
stage1 :: Producer a IO r stage1 = forever $ do x <- dataSource yield x stage2 :: Pipe a b IO r stage2 = forever $ do x <- await y <- processData x yield y stage3 :: Consumer b IO r stage3 = forever $ do y <- await dataSink y stage3 <+< stage2 <+< stage1 = lift loop
In other words,
Pipes let you decompose loops into modular components,
which promotes loose coupling and allows you to freely mix and match those
To demonstrate this, let's define a new data source that indefinitely prompts the user for integers:
prompt :: Producer Int IO a prompt = forever $ do lift $ putStrLn "Enter a number: " n <- read <$> lift getLine yield n
Now we can use it as a drop-in replacement for
runPipe $ printer <+< take' 3 <+< promptEnter a number: 1<Enter> 1 Enter a number: 2<Enter> 2 Enter a number: 3<Enter> 3 You shall not pass!
Vertical Concatenation
You can easily "vertically" concatenate
Producers, and
Consumers, all using simple monad sequencing: (
>>). For example, here
is how you concatenate
runPipe $ printer <+< (fromList [1..3] >> fromList [10..12])1 2 3 10 11 12
Here's how you would concatenate
let print' n = printer <+< take' n :: (Show a) => Int -> Consumer a IO ()
runPipe $ (print' 3 >> print' 4) <+< fromList [1..]1 2 3 You shall not pass! 4 5 6 7 You shall not pass!
... but the above example is gratuitous because we could have just
concatenated the intermediate
runPipe $ printer <+< (take' 3 >> take' 4) <+< fromList [1..]1 2 3 You shall not pass! 4 5 6 7 You shall not pass!
Return Values
Pipe composition imposes an important requirement: You can only compose
Pipes that have the same return type. For example, I could write the
following function:
deliver :: (Monad m) => Int -> Consumer a m [a] deliver n = replicateM n await
... and I might try to compose it with
runPipe $ deliver 3 <+< fromList [1..10] -- wrong!
... but this wouldn't type-check, because
fromList has a return type of
() and
deliver has a return type of
[Int]. Composition requires that
Pipe has a return value ready in case it terminates first.
Fortunately, we don't have to rewrite the
fromList function because we can
just add a return value using vertical concatenation:
runPipe $ deliver 3 <+< (fromList [1..10] >> return [])[1,2,3]
... although a more idiomatic Haskell version would be:
runPipe $ (Just <$> deliver 3) <+< (fromList [1..10] *> pure Nothing)Just [1,2,3]
This forces you to cover all code paths by thinking about what return value
you would provide if something were to go wrong. For example, let's say I
were to make a mistake and request more input than
fromList can deliver:
runPipe $ (Just <$> deliver 99) <+< (fromList [1..10] *> pure Nothing)Nothing
The type system saved me by forcing me to cover all corner cases and handle every way my program could terminate.
Now what if you wanted to write a
Pipe that only reads from its input end
(i.e. a
Consumer) and returns a list of every value delivered to it when
its input
Pipe terminates?
toList :: (Monad m) => Consumer a m [a] toList = ???
You can't write such a
Pipe because if its input terminates then it brings
toList with it! This is correct because
toList as defined is not
compositional (yet!).
To see why, let's say you somehow got
toList to work and the following
imaginary code sample worked:
runPipe $ toList <+< (fromList [1..5] >> return [])[1,2,3,4,5]
toList is defined to return its value when the
Pipe immediately upstream
fromList in this case) terminates. This behavior immediately leads to a
problem. What if I were to insert an "identity"
Pipe between
identity = forever $ await >>= yield -- This is how id is actually implemented!
Pipe forwards every valued untouched, so we would expect it to not
have any affect if we were to insert it in the middle:
runPipe $ toList <+< identity <+< (fromList [1..5] >> return [])??? -- Oops! Something other than [1,2,3,4,5], perhaps even non-termination
The answer couldn't be
[1,2,3,4,5] because
toList would monitor
identity instead of
fromList and since
identity never terminates
toList never terminates. This is what I mean when I say that
specified behavior is non-compositional. It only works if it is coupled
directly to the desired
Pipe and breaks when you introduce intermediate
This was not an intentional design choice, but rather a direct consequence
of enforcing the
Category laws when I was implementing
instance. Satisfying the
Category laws forces code to be compositional.
Note that a terminated
Pipe only brings down
Pipes composed with it. To
illustrate this, let's use the following example:
p = do a <+< b c
b, and
c are
Pipes, and
c shares the same input and output as
the composite
a <+< b, otherwise we cannot combine them within the
same monad. In the above example, either
a or
b could terminate and
bring down the other one since they are composed, but
c is guaranteed to
continue after
a <+< b terminates because it is not composed with them.
Conceptually, we can think of this as
c automatically taking over the
Pipe's channeling responsibilities when
a <+< b can no longer continue.
There is no need to "restart" the input or output manually as in some
other iteratee libraries.
pipes library, unlike other iteratee libraries, grounds its vertical
and horizontal concatenation in category theory by deriving horizontal
concatenation (
.) from its
Category instance and vertical concatenation
>>) from its
Monad instance. This makes it easier to reason about
Pipes because you can leverage your intuition about
Categorys and
Monads to understand their behavior. The only
Pipe-specific primitives
await and
Resource Management
Here's another problem with
Pipe composition: resource finalization.
Let's say we have the file "
test.txt" with the following contents:
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3
.. and we wish to lazily read one line at a time from it:
readFile' :: Handle -> Producer Text IO () readFile' h = do eof <- lift $ hIsEOF h when (not eof) $ do s <- lift $ hGetLine h yield s readFile' h
We could then try to be slick and write a lazy version that only reads as many lines as we request:
read' :: FilePath -> Producer Text IO () read' file = do lift $ putStrLn "Opening file ..." h <- lift $ openFile file ReadMode readFile' h lift $ putStrLn "Closing file ..." lift $ hClose h
Now compose!
runPipe $ printer <+< read' "test.xt"Opening file ... "Line 1" "Line 2" "Line 3" Closing file ...
So far, so good. Equally important, the file is never opened if we replace
printer with a
Pipe that never demands input:
runPipe $ (lift $ putStrLn "I don't need input") <+< read' "test.txt"I don't need input
There is still one problem, though. What if we wrote:
runPipe $ printer <+< take' 2 <+< read' "test.txt"Opening file ... "Line 1" "Line 2" You shall not pass!
Oh no! While it was lazy and only read two lines from the file, it was also
too lazy to properly close our file! "
take' 2" terminated before
read', preventing
read' from properly closing "test.txt". This is why
Pipe composition fails to guarantee deterministic finalization.
So with
Pipes, we can neither write folds, nor can we finalize resources
deterministically. Fortunately, there is a solution:
Frames. Check out
Control.Frame.Tutorial for an introduction to a type that enriches
with the ability to fold and finalize resources correctly.

Census Records for Indiana
This entry was originally written by Carol L. Maki and Michael John Neill for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Population Schedules
• Indexed'1820 (Daviess County missing), 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930
• Soundex'1880, 1900, 1920
Industry and Agriculture Schedules
• 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880
Mortality Schedules
• 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880
All of Indiana's federal census schedules through 1930 are available on microfilm at the Indiana State Library and Allen County Public Library. Many rural families were missed during the enumeration of the 1850 U.S. census in Indiana because of poor weather and impassable trails. However, the agriculture schedule of that year was taken at a different time of the year, and most of the rural residents were included in that enumeration.
In addition to the indexes widely available for every state (see page 3), the Indiana Historical Society has completed a computerized index searchable on every category or variable for the 1860 census. For example, it would be possible, through the historical society's computer printout, to locate by name all the ministers (searching by occupation) born in North Carolina (place of birth). The index is available on microfiche for purchase from the society.
Ancestry.com has digitized images of the entire U.S. Federal Census Schedules 1790-1930 and created searchable indexes for the images. This collection can be accessed at U.S. Federal Census Collection. There is also an index for Clark County, Indiana Census, 1880 searchable at Ancestry.com.
Territorial and State
Census for Indiana Territory for 1807, compiled by Rebah Fraustein, was published by the Indiana Historical Society in 1980. No other state censuses exist, although state enumerations of males (without names) above age twenty-one were taken at various intervals beginning in 1820.

You most certainly can install Linux on SPARC, e.g. http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/. Given that you're unfamiliar with building Blender, you'd be better off using a supported OS http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2 ... nder/Linux rather than striking out on your own.

Re: Serial number and Model number lookup?
So! I just ran into this issue. Trying to sale my home and land and the new lender for the buyers wants documentation that shows the home was purchased and only delivered to this address. Well, I'm not the first owner of this home and have no idea when and who they bought it from. Though what I do know was that it was a Palm Harbor and the mobile home has a plate on the rear that has a number on it. So I called a nearby Palm Harbor retailer and did some digging and she helped me figure it out by my address and sure enough wala she got me the information I need. So please! Don't go to that ibts.org site and pay all that money for nothing. If you know the manufacture call them and get someone who wants to help. She also told me the title company must have that on file and that is how she found it for me. Hope this helps the next person who comes along.

A portion of an unreleased song titled "Another Day," featuring Michael Jackson and Lenny Kravitz, recently hit the Web, and Lenny hit TwitVid to explain his role in the number.
"The song was recorded by Michael and myself. I produced it for him," Lenny explained in a post on his TwitVid account page. "I wrote the song and I played all the instruments on the track. It was one of the most amazing musical experiences that I've ever had."
Lenny said he had nothing to do with the song being leaked online.
"As you know and have heard, the song, or part of the song leaked, but not by me," Lenny said. "Mine has been locked up in a vault since we recorded it. The version that's out is a minute and 30 seconds, roughly, of the track. [It's] not mixed, but it is the track. The DJ who's speaking over the track, I don't know who that person is. I don't know how they obtained it… but that person has nothing to do with the track."
Sony has since removed the clip from YouTube over copyright infringement claims, but Lenny said he hopes it can be released at some point for the fans.
"It was done by two people who had respect for each other and who love music. That was it. I'd like to see this thing get straightened out as soon as possible because I'd like for u you, the fans, people who love Michael, to be able to hear the track in its entirety, the way that it was meant to be, the way that Michael and I had intended it to be," he said. "That's all being worked out… I'll get back to you as soon as I have my information."

I very seriously doubt this. The first three dislikes occurred before it even hit 500 likes. The last video didn't get a single dislike until it hit about 900 likes. It's not a ratio thing, there just happened to be more people disliking the video this time, for whatever reason.DWMagus wrote:I'm guessing the dislikes is because we would have had much more likes if it wasn't for the torrent. While you can ask for likes, not everyone who downloaded the torrent even viewed it on YT. The ratio is off.
I don't think the torrent would have affected the ratio that much. I liked the YouTube video right after watching the torrent and I'm sure many others did too. How many people even downloaded the torrent?

With his Gru Chapel, the young Brazilian architect Yuri Vital created a poular church for a poor community of the city of Guarulhos, Sao Paulo. Yuri's talent and social initiative, already prooved with his Box House project, was once more honored, this time by the most important Award for young Brazilian architects, 9° Prêmio Jovens Arquitetos 2009.
Here is what Yuri Vital explains:
In Guarulhos suburbs, close to the Guarulhos International Airport, was elaborated a simple popular chapel. The client asked for a low cost project that should also be able to become a great religious reference for the region.
It was created a unadorned, pure and simple monolith, offering a great lightness and minimizing the cost of construction. The lot has a 3 meters inclination, which allowed the idealization of a street level entrance, while accommodating the parking lot at the gap.
With the project, it was also asked areas of specific activities (such as the administration, library, cafeteria, and restrooms). The accesses to these areas are made independently, allowing the visitors to exclusively access the area they want to, without interfering in the religious space.
The largest distance in between columns is 8.4 meters, so that the chapel is entirely made with pre-cast slabs, facilitating the construction and reducing the cost, due to the reduce of the need of time.
To gain flexibility, the parking lot has no pillars and the whole weight of the monolith is distributed by the lateral blades. The mezzanine is supported by the wall on the left and by a small metal structure.
The cover is made with a metallic thermal tile, supported also by a metallic structure, which is embedded in the side of the chapel. This coverage has two side sheds for lighting.
The chapel is lit mostly by natural light, with three main points: the very front facade (composed by a skin "Cobogós"), and two lateral cuts on the roof. These zeniths are protected from rain by a skin of laminated glass.
The library and cafeteria also have natural light due to a glass skin on the sides.

LONDON (Reuters) - The euro hit a six-week high and shares rose on Monday as signs of quicker Chinese growth boosted investors' risk appetite although gains were capped by U.S. budget worries.
Activity in China's vast manufacturing sector sped up for the first time in 13 months in November, according to the latest Purchasing Managers' Surveys (PMI), adding to evidence the economy is reviving after seven quarters of slowing growth.
"We are in an environment where the big picture risks are still there; the U.S. fiscal cliff, the euro zone and China - on two of those (China and the euro zone) arguably things have been improving," Philip Poole, global head of macro investment strategy at HSBC Global Asset Management, said.
Final PMI readings for Europe due later are also likely to show a small rebound in November, although this will still mean the euro area is on course for its worst quarter since the depths of the global financial crisis in early 2009.
Uncertainty over whether Washington can avert the "fiscal cliff", $600 billion worth of tax increases and spending cuts that will be automatically triggered in early 2013 unless Democrats and Republicans agree how to cut the deficit, was also keeping investors nervous.
MSCI world equity index .MIWD00000PUS edged up about 0.1 percent 332.80 helped by a small gain in MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS.
In Europe the FTSE Eurofirst 300 index .FTEU3 of top European shares rose 0.2 percent in early trade to 1,121.87 points with London's FTSE 100 .FTSE, Paris's CAC-40 .FCHI and Frankfurt's DAX .GDAXI all around 0.2 percent higher..EU
The euro hit a six-week high against the dollar at $1.3048 on the upbeat Chinese data, before settling to be around $1.3030 ahead of the a euro zone finance ministers meeting which is due to assess the latest plan to help Greece.
The Greek government has unveiled details of a 10 billion euro bond buy-back crucial to cutting its ballooning debt pile, hoping the terms will draw enough investors and unblock aid.
The dollar was down 0.1 percent against the yen at 82.27, but not far from a 7-1/2-month high of 82.84 yen touched on November 22.
Oil prices were underpinned by the firm Chinese data, tensions in the Middle East.
U.S. crude futures rose 0.15 percent to $89.04 a barrel and Brent added 0.3 percent to $111.55, while London copper gained 0.2 percent to $8,010 a metric ton (1.1023 tons).
That uncertainty underpinned gold's appeal as a safe-haven as spot gold edged up 0.25 percent to $1,719 an ounce.

Format: Paperback, 480 pages
Publisher: No Starch Press; 1st edition (January 14, 2012)
Linux has been struggling to become a "desktop darling" of the home and small office user for years and has yet to succeed. I don't know if it will ever succeed. One of the biggest hurdles Linux has to cross is its reputation as being command-line driven. Most people fear the command line and if you're old enough, you remember (with dread) the arcane DOS interface or struggling to remember what command syntax to use with the now ancient Apple IIe. Users love Windows because the GUI is easy.
Ubuntu, of all the Linux distros, is about the best in terms of a user-friendly GUI, and yet even when Windows users abandon the Microsoft "mothership", they almost always turn to a Mac and not to Ubuntu (or any other flavor of Linux). Face it. Linux may never succeed as a desktop operating system and may have to "settle" for being the king of the server and embedded device markets.
But is that such a bad thing?
Ironically, the power of a Windows machine is on the command-line, but unless you're a system admin or network guru, that doesn't even occur to you. And absolutely, the power of Linux is in the command-line shell. Why fight the nature of what Linux is? Instead of trying to avoid shell commands, embrace them. That's where The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction comes in.
The hardcopy of this book should be on its way to me for my review right now, but I couldn't wait. The publisher kindly allowed me to also download a PDF version of the Shotts book, so here I am, tearing into it (metaphorically speaking) and getting ready to devour its contents. What secrets does it hold and for whom shall they be revealed?
Scrolling through the beginning of the PDF, I discovered the "Who Should Read This Book" section. According to the author, this book is for the rank beginner in the Linux world who is likely a Windows "power user" and who, for whatever reason, must learn Linux management skills. That's a rather amazing statement since, having scanned the table of contents on my way down to page 29, I discovered a rather impressive list of skills to be learned. Among them were "A Gentile Introduction to Vi" (my favorite editor), "Package Management", "Regular Expressions", "Compiling Programs", and "Writing Shell Scripts". Any one of these topics is worthy if its own book (and they're out there) and certainly they will be intimidating to the Linux novice.
But first things first.
The end of the introduction to the book gives rather brief instructions for how to install Linux on a computer or how to use a live CD, so the reader is presumed not to even use Linux on a regular basis (or at all). On the other hand, there are no links or instructions as to where to find a Linux ISO file for download or how to burn a bootable CD or DVD, so I guess the reader is expected to know something. Oh, in case you're wondering, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) to write this review and practicing commands in the default bash shell.
The first section of the book is called "Learning the Shell", which is pretty basic. The first chapter, "What is the Shell" offers the reader a little bit of a history lesson on the shell and how to use very basic commands, such as "date", "cal", and "df". It's a very short chapter and fortunately gets the reader into opening and using the shell right away. It's a gentle beginning. When does the book get "rough?"
Technically, the hardcopy of the book is only 480 pages long, so it's not an encyclopaedia (remember them?). Yet, for not being a massive tome, the Shotts book probably best works not only as a linear tutorial but as a reference. After all, even veteran shell users don't remember everything and I've seen Linux developers with decades of experience still have to look up commands they don't use very often (although they almost always do so using Google rather than grabbing a handy book).
I called this book "a linear tutorial" because the first section is written in just that manner. One skill set builds on the previous ones presented and the more the reader goes through and practices what they're reading, the better they should get at navigating the directory tree, copying and moving files, locating files, and using man pages.
Although there are no exercises or labs at the end of each chapter, there are notes encouraging the reader to pause and to practice what they've learned as well as experimenting and adapting on commands they've been using. The reader is also encouraged to refer back to the help and man documentation on commands, which is a further exercise in using the shell, since these tools are the first ones a system admin or programmer turn to when they're trying to recall that rarely used command switch.
Actually, the book doesn't really need a separate section for exercises since each page in the chapters directs the reader to try out various commands. This is a book that needs to be opened alongside a Linux machine where the reader is simultaneously working in the shell.
Learning the vi and Vim Editors by Robbins, Hannah, and Lamb are always available.
I did wonder about introducing the reader to Regular Expressions in Chapter 19. For the average computer user, even the average Linux computer user, Regular Expressions can be a real "migraine maker". This may be your first clue that not everyone who will use this book will use all of it, at least not right away. Although this is a great skill to acquire, not everyone may be up to the challenge. When reading this book, assess whether or not you want or need to learn everything it has to offer.
Chapter 23: "Compiling Programs" is another chapter that may not always be useful to all readers. The content goes quickly from "What is Compiling" to downloading source code from the web (specifically ftp.gnu.org), examining the source tree, and building a program. Note that the reader isn't expected to know how to actually write a program, so the general purpose of this chapter is to introduce the power of compiling in the shell and, like vi and Regular Expressions skills, is something that can be built upon using other resources if the reader so desires.
All of the fourth and last section of the book is devoted to "Writing Shell Scripts". If the hypothetical reader of this book is someone who wants or needs to learn Linux server management skills, everything presented in the book up to this point is not only useful, but required. Certainly writing shell scripts (and again, there are entire books available on this subject), is a necessary skill set for the Linux systems admin or even for people who just like to "get under the hood" a little.
After a brief introduction, the reader is lead through the "rudimentaries" of their first shell script which is about as basic as
echo 'Hello World!' The reader must dig back into what they've learned before about using vi or vim, creating a file in the desired directory, making it executable, and saving it (none of these instructions are presented again in the shell script chapter). The last bit in the chapter gives the reader a tip on how to configure vim for shell scripting by turning on syntax highlighting, highlighting search results, and using auto indent. The rest of the section takes the reader through building a scripting project and pulls together previously learned skills to develop more complex scripts, including teaching the use of loops and arrays.
The final note in the final chapter addresses the reader, "Well, we have completed our journey. The only thing left to do now is practice, practice, practice. Even though we've covered a lot of ground in our trek, we barely scratched the surface as far as the command line goes."
I can agree with that. There's a reason why the book's subtitle is "A Complete Introduction." That's not a contradiction in terms, it's the literal truth. Part of the power of the shell is in its almost infinite potential, which most shell users never master, but if you buy and then use The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction to its fullest extent, your "introduction" to the shell will be very impressive.

C: Bundesliga + Liga Zon Sagres
Due to the restriction on the number of emblem slots on PES 2012, you must pick one file from the list above.
If you follow the steps correctly, this will take you no longer than 10 minutes. It's very important you follow each step very carefully. Each step will only work if the step previous is carried out correctly.
If you get stuck or run into problems, please reply in this thread and the team will help you ASAP.
Step 1
Download your preferred option file. There are two, both listed above; you can only pick one due to the limited number of emblem slots on PES 2012. Please also download all official game patches and data packs (DLC) from Konami.
If you have a USB from me and you've not changed anything, you can skip to step 4.
Step 2
Plug your USB stick into your xbox 360. If you have content on your USB that you want to keep, make sure you back it up before you put it into your 360. Everything gets deleted in the next step.
Select to customize the USB (not configure) and change the memory size to 512MB. Don't ask why, just trust me and do it.
Step 3
Plug your usb into your PC or laptop. You may see a yellow folder called Xbox 360. If you can't see it then you need to change your settings so hidden files and folders can be seen. Here's a tutorial for Windows Vista. For other operating systems, use Google.
Step 4:
You should now see the Xbox 360 folder. This means that your PC/laptop is ready for transfer.
Double-click on the Xbox 360 folder and you'll see the following 3 files:
Data 0000
Data 0001
Data 0002
Erase the Data 0001 and Data 0002 files but do not delete the Data 0000 file. Once you've done this, open your downloaded option file folder and move the Data 0001 and Data 0002 files to the Xbox 360 folder. Simply, you're overwriting the old content and replacing it with the new content.
Wait a minute for all the files to copy over to your USB.
Step 5:
Plug your USB into your Xbox 360.
Go to System > Memory > and select the external device (USB - DAYMOS OPE PES2012 OF v4).
Now you will see a folder called PES2012/WE2012 with 300 or so files inside it. Please check if the 300 (or so) files are there.
If everything looks good, press B and go back so you're looking at the PES2012/WE2012 folder again. Press Y and copy (do not move) all the files from your USB to your Xbox 360 hard drive.
When asked would you like to replace exisiting file data?, select Yes To All. Don't worry, all your gamesaves and replays will still be there.
Step 6
Remove your USB stick from your 360 and load up PES 2012. Head into Edit Mode and take a look at all your new kits.
See all our Xbox 360 option files at http://www.onlyproevolutions.com/daymos

Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.

what are your feelings on the conservative censorship that has gone on in your thread?
if you're referring to the title of the thread, i don't think it's going to stop anyone from reading it.

A federal judge ruled there was a significant amount of evidence that could prove that several Silicon Valley companies conspired to not poach workers from each other, but as a class-action case it needs work.
In a 53-page ruling filed shortly after midnight Friday, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose found that there was enough evidence to prove the companies had side deals, according to the San Jose Mercury News. The companies named in the lawsuit are Apple, Adobe, Google, Intel, Intuit, Lucasfilm and Pixar and are accused of antitrust violations of conspiring not to hire each other's workers.
However, Koh was also deciding if the case should go to trial as a class-action suit and so far, she said, it needs work. Koh said the lawsuit may be framed too generally, so she asked the plaintiffs to refile the case to make it more specific to address her concerns. The class-action would be on behalf of 100,000 employees. The seven companies have already settled antitrust claims with the U.S. Justice Department.
If all goes well, the class-action suit will proceed next year.

Minnesota SQL Server User Group Meeting Review (4/17/12)
First of all, I have to thank the awesome speakers who presented at our user group meeting on Tuesday night, April 17. Mark Souza ( T | B ) for a great question and answer session. He was open about SQL Server and where it is heading. Some items that interested me is that SQL Azure was running the SQL Server 2012 platform in production by December 2011. Microsoft is committed to releasing more changed through the SQL Azure platform at a faster clip. This will allow them to continually improve the quality of releases for the boxed version as well. (Speaking of which, the boxed version is not going away any time soon.)
Mark also spoke about leaving data at its source and using tools to bring the data together for reporting and analysis. He touted the Hadoop integration efforts as key part of this strategy. If you have followed my blog for a bit, you know that I do a lot of work with Oracle and MSBI. As a result, I had to ask when a good version of Oracle drivers would be available. While he did not have a good answer on this at the time, he did mention that OData is a data access solution for me to look at. Look for a future blog post as I explore this protocol to ease some of my Oracle.
After Mark finished answering the variety of questions asked by the crowd we handed the microphone to Itzik Ben-Gan ( T | B ). As usual, he took an entire hour to help us understand that we did not know all of the possible ways to use the APPLY operator. However, I also learned about the DBCC OPTIMIZER_WHATIF function which allows you to change the system settings the Optimizer uses to create a plan. For instance, DBCC OPTIMIZER_WHATIF(1,16) will tell the optimizer to use 16 processors in its plan.
SQL Saturday #118 – Madison, WI (4/21/12)
Finally, I will be out at SQL Saturday #118 in Madison this weekend. I have two presentations there – A Window Into Your Data: Using SQL Window Functions and Performance Monitoring and Tuning in SSAS. Maybe I will see you there.

Oh Rap!!!
(For a complete list of 54th GRAMMY Awards nominees, click here.)
In terms of the Rap Field nominees for the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards, I was ready to "expect the unexpected." This past year was unique in that every aspect of rap music was stellar — from seasoned veterans such as Jay-Z and Kanye West to the innovative energy of Drake, Wiz Khalifa and Nicki Minaj. I had my predictions that the juggernauts would prevail, but I was not prepared for the nominations results.
West dominated the nominations — not only in rap, but for the entire GRAMMY field. His seven nominations include his club anthem, "All Of The Lights," which is up for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Best Rap Song, in addition to Song Of The Year; and his tag-team flow on "Otis" with Jay-Z, which is up for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song. West also received a pair of nods for Best Rap Album for his hip-hop opus, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and his teaming with Jay-Z, Watch The Throne. I anticipated West's presence in the Rap Field, but I had no idea he would lead the pack across all genres.
Despite his personal woes about recording Lasers, Lupe Fiasco's nomination Best Rap Album was a pleasant surprise as his politically charged, club-thumping album was one of my favorites of 2011. His "The Show Goes On" received nods for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song.
I consider Wiz Khalifa's "Black And Yellow" the obligatory fad song of the year, so it's no wonder his nomination for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance made my jaw drop.
Rappers are known for their collaborative efforts. One of the unexpected nominations this year was Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes' "Look At Me Now" for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song. This is a classic example of veteran and newer artists coming together for something extraordinary. Nearly a 20-year veteran, Busta delivered some of the most fast-paced, free-flowing lyrics ever crammed into 16 bars, while Brown represented the new generation. It is also in the spirit of collaboration that Drake made his way to the list given his contributions to Minaj's "Moment 4 Life," which is nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
This year's rap nominees were also peppered with surprises such as Beyoncé and André 3000's "Party" and Eminem's "I Need A Doctor" with Dr. Dre and Skylar Grey.
Representing more than 25 years of excellence accented with youthful vigor, this year's Rap Field is one of the most diverse rosters ever. It illustrates the vitality of rap's past and the unwavering consistency of its future. The composition alone makes every nominee a winner.

Obviously, I'm going to watch, because I can't resist, and by the end of the season, I'll be so up-to-here with the bullshit theater that is televised dating game shows that I'll become angry with myself. And so it goes.
I freely admit that I watch some shitty, shitty television, and if it weren't for my sense of shame, I'd probably watch a lot more of it. I can't get enough of The Bachelor, which combines the most terrible aspects of dating, the weirdest aspects of arranged marriages, and sociopaths. If another season of Bachelor Pad ever airs, I will schedule my life around it like how I'd schedule my life around a doctor's appointment. It's confusing and frustrating and a little embarrassing, but I guess now's as good a time as any to admit to the world that I'm addicted to that steaming pile of crap.
So anyway, there's a new season of The Bachelor that starts tomorrow night, and by gum, I'll be there on my couch making fun of the contestants' nonspecific use of the words this, that, these, and those (as in "I'm looking for THAT connection." or "We just have THIS chemistry." What chemistry, contestants!? You are verbally pointing at nothing!) and their ridiculous hair extensions and their Barbie-meets-David's Bridal wardrobes. I'll remark to anyone and everyone that the man who is cast as The Bachelor makes me more wary of men, as he gives these Sincere Eyes to his date and five minutes later makes out with another of the cookie cutter white ladies in the parade of white and Asian ladies that the show puts in front of him. I'll pick out a favorite and make jokes about the show's host and drink white wine and marvel at the fact that if I were to go on the show now, at 27, I'd be among the older contestants and perhaps the bitchiest contestant of all time. I'll recoil at the Spit Sounds that the ABC microphones are so adept at picking up and amplifying. And I'll keep watching. My god. What has become of me?
Commenters, I know I'm not the only one who is completely addicted to brain-rotting television. What's your embarrassing entertainment obsession? Spill. I need you to, so that I feel better about myself.

I'm not asking anyone to divulge their private dark past or if any one has a criminal record but I'd like to know what your thoughts are on it? It seems to me religious groups have targeted the prison population. And I every now and then I hear some testimony of a former criminal turning his life around after finding God and now is accepted by some Christian community.
I know this is too general. Some of the things I'd like to see addressed are: Do you think it is harder for someone with criminal history to get accepted in an atheist community or a Christian community? If so is that a good thing or a bad thing and why? Do you think in an atheist community it is best not to talk about your dark past? Does it depend on the crime? Do you know anyone who has turned their life around with reason instead of faith?
The only semi-famous atheist I know who got into trouble breaking some laws is John W. Loftos who wrote "Why I became an Atheist". But if I remember correctly he was still a teenager when he did them, easily chucked off as youthful indiscretion. And right after that he found Jesus before he became an atheist.
Views: 629
Actually religiosity is a common trait of the criminal personality and there are fewer atheists in prison than the religious. I've already described this earlier in this topic, but like you I don't think I've really answered the question. Unfortunately there is no easy answer to this one as its basis provides a rather narrow frame of reference to draw upon for a conclusion - too many variables.
Also "crime prevention" is often a fallacy. It shifts the responsibility for your own safety to other people. Ever heard of "defensive driving"? The same principle applies to life in general. You cannot expect other people to consistently act responsibly nor do they have any realistic obligation to do so. Therefore it is best to observe their conduct and act accordingly to the best of your ability.
Richard - makes sense to me.
"When the concept of God enters the equation, more people feel "watched" and subject to possible consequences. So I'd guess that religion usually plays a more effective role than atheism in reducing criminal behavior."
I don't think most criminals give a shit that a god is possibly watching them before or during a criminal act. Most are not even remorseful.
But isn't it interesting Ed, that 90+% of all those incarcerated, believe in god? Remember that next time a theist tells you that without religion, you wouldn't have morals.
Yeah, it makes about as much sense as the incarcerated black inmates who have anal sex with the wimpy white homosexuals. They (the blacks) will tell you straight up that they are not homosexual because as soon as they get back out into the 'freeworld' they will find their woman. To me at a minimum they are bisexual. Such is life on the inside.
The term is colloquially known as, "the down-low" --
This topic made me think about my favourite Television show that is returning soon..."Dexter".
"Do you think it is harder for someone with criminal history to get accepted in an atheist community or a Christian community?"
Interesting question. I have mulled it over in my head several times now. Having no experience from a theistic point of view I have came to the conclusion that I don't think there is a difference in acceptance per-say. I would think that as humans we all pretty much view criminals in the same light. I would however stretch out to say that the level of acceptance could hugely reflect on the nature of the committed crimes, and - or time frame lapsed since being committed. I would certainly be wary around anyone whom I found out to be say, a convicted pedophile or aggravated rapist. Those types of crime do not sit easy with me. I'm sure we are all holding some sort of behavioral threshold. There are also many other crime levels I am uncomfortable with.
"Do you think in an atheist community it is best not to talk about your dark past? Does it depend on the crime?"
I think it best not to divulge a dark past in any community. Especially an online forum. That could just be asking for trouble or worse. Of Course there is the "depending on the crime" variable. The atheist community accepts you for your disbelief in any gods. Anything else you want to share there is up to you.
I am a great supporter of the anonymous factors of the internet. Some things, it's just best we don't know.
"Do you know anyone who has turned their life around with reason instead of faith?"
I contend that anyone who has turned their life around has accomplished it by reason and not faith. They just don't know that yet.
While what you've done in the past is an indication of what you're CAPABLE of doing, it's no predictor of what you WILL do. From this second forward, YOU can decide what you will be and what you will do.
@ Archaeopteryx - I think "reputation" is a very important regulating factor. Of course, it doesn't always regulate towards "good".
Reputation requires information and is easily disarmed by silence.
But then reputation is all about what other people say, and we can't control that. If we move to a new area, our reputation can be left behind and we have a chance to build a new one.
I see what you mean (I think) - if other people don't know about something we've done, they can't talk about it. Ah, but what if they find out?

JD Wilkes and The Dirt Daubers
As the wild frontman for The Legendary Shack Shakers, Col. J.D. Wilkes brought
together a wide array of blues-infused and swampy sounding rock n' roll, earning them
the admiration of fans and invitations to tour with noted performers such as Robert Plant.
Wilkes—a bonafide Kentucky colonel, hence his title—formed The Dirt Daubers in
2009 with his wife, Jessica, and added guitarist Rod Hamdallah and drummer Preston
Corn for the band's most recent album, Wild Moon (Plowboy Records). Produced by
iconic punk rocker Cheetah Chrome (The Dead Boys), the album finds them back in the
vein of mixing traditional sounds with an infectious rock attitude and approach. (Sean McCourt)

Sweat Lodge
Spend a minimal amount of time on the stretch of Mission between El Rio and The Knockout, and you'll probably hear of these lo-fi punks. Not simply since one member is a fixture at the former bar, cooking up Indian tacos and sweet frybread on the back patio. No, it's because Sweat Lodge seems to be a favorite of discerning music aficionados and drunkards alike. The last unprompted recommendation came from a guy who had literally just picked himself off the sidewalk (his back hurt) and said, "That dude's band fucking rocks" as Rocky passed. Perhaps sensing jaded skepticism he added, "and I don't give praise lightly." But I've checked the tumblr and the tapes, and can't disagree. (Ryan Prendiville)

Over three albums, Dent May has been a bit of a indie pop chameleon. Take the fabulous lounge kitsch of The Good Feeling Music Of Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele. Or the drum machine disco revival on Do Things. And May's latest, Warm Blanket, is predictably unpredictable: see the Bowie styled "Let's Dance" intro that quickly upshifts into an afrobeat groove on "Let Them Talk." Still, one thing May shares with his label bosses Animal Collective is a shared affinity for Brian Wilson, and it's the biggest referent, with a track like "Corner Piece" sounding like it could have spun off of Pet Sounds, and it's the perfect opportunity for May to get increasingly open-hearted and romantic.

Francesca Lombardo at Heart Phoenix's HIGHER
Sometimes it feels like watching reruns. The one where the DJs idle behind the decks, doing their best to seem effortlessly cool, making adjustments with a cigarette in hand (and another drooping from their bottom lip). Worse than than that, the occasional amped up excitement, hiding the fact that the webcast probably won't translate 100 percent, and in any case, the scenester crowd will look bored. Francesca Lombardo's recent Boiler Room run avoided both pitfalls. Centered around her vocals, and orchestrated with strings, Lombardo's music took a middle path through deep house — somewhere between Maya Jane Coles and Nicolas Jaar — confident but with enough of a nervy edge befitting her recent addition to Crosstown Rebels.

Jessy Lanza
We've seen a major resurgence of UK R&B-circa-'89 over the past few years, but while songstresses like Jessie Ware tackle those Lisa Stansfield-ish stylings with showy emotivity, Canada's Jessy Lanza takes a borderline-shoegazer's approach to her vocals, filtering ambiguous yearnings and half-confessions through delay and echo until they're just another instrument in the mix, as stark and percussive as they are ethereal and melodic. Released on the much-fetishized Hyperdub imprint, and produced/co-written by Junior Boys' Jeremy Greenspan, Lanza's icy, prickly, spacious debut LP, Pull My Hair Back (2013), updates a flashy throwback genre for introverted, LCD-immersed times, in which the people can't quite be trusted to say what they mean, or vice versa. This Saturday's Popscene-curated show marks Lanza's second-ever West Coast appearance, and might elucidate a persona that, similarly to those of labelmates Hype Williams and Laurel Halo, remains well concealed.

When Kara Davis was actively dancing, she seemed to be everywhere, performing (superbly) with choreographers as different as Janice Garret, Margaret Jenkins, Robert Moses, and Kathleen Hermesdorf. Then she started to choreograph not solos and duets like most beginners, but (excellent) company pieces of a dozen dancers more. That's before she traveled to the Middle East. Now she is working with an international cast of a visual artist, dancers, and musicians to find a common language — both culturally and artistically — with which to create a piece. The largely improvised Mother Tongue was a hit at the Museum of Performance and Design last fall. It's now back at the same venue on Friday before traveling a couple of blocks South to the Garage for the Saturday performance. (Rita Felciano)

This Sunday at the Roxie, Mills gives a Q&A on the "future" third of his piece, a documentary entitled A Mind Forever Voyaging Through Strange Seas of Thought Alone: Silicon Valley Project (2013). The film interviews children of tech industry workers about their predictions of the future. It's dark, even spooky, to hear this envisioned world, which has less intelligence and fewer plants and animals, because ultimately, the children's imaginations reflect a world we don't realize we might already be living in.

Robert DeLong
How do you gauge the frequently overreaching world of one-man bands, when pushing multitasking to its limit is part of the draw? Seemingly taking compulsive loopster Merrill Garbus' cue (and facepaint), Robert DeLong is a live-sampling and track-layering singer with an alternative pop bent, as likely to switch over to drums as he is to a modified Wii-mote or Sidewinder joystick in his performances. It's an approach that puts him at least in distinctive territory: Neither the minimalist and, despite all the effort, not quite a maximalist, DeLong is more likely to get featured in Wired than written up on Pitchfork, and doesn't quite fit into the EDM arena, where going alone is more ordinary. At the moment he seems to be orbiting in a little world of his own. (Ryan Prendiville) With Mystery Skulls, DJ Aaron Axelsen

Sims are able to read books about pregnancy, receive advice on their pregnancy by visiting the local hospital, announce their pregnancy to other Sims, and prepare their nursery. Your Sim will start to get cravings for certain foods, have unpleasant morning sickness, the negative backache moodlet, and the positive pregnant moodlet throughout the pregnancy.
Your Sim can also go to the local hospital to find out the gender of the baby. This helps tremendously when planning the nursery.

This man might be your ancestor.
Ed's grandfather
Ed's grandfather was the father of 18 children. Of course Jean-Baptiste Alexandre II was not the only one involved.
He married twice.
First he married Caroline Ménard.
Caroline died while giving birth to their 8th child. He was a baby boy who died at birth.
I don't have a picture of Caroline. I only have her birth certificate.
That's not much to go on, but when you are searching for your ancestors, or those who are related to your ancestors like Caroline, it opens new venues.
I knew very little about Jean-Baptiste Alexandre and Caroline Ménard.
Fran wrote a comment on this blog a few months ago…
Thrilled with the photos.
My maternal grandmother was the daughter of JB Alexandre and Caroline Menard (Amanda's sister, married to Stanislaus Lagasse).
She was the niece of Myra Alexandre Archambeault.
The only photos I have of the Alexandres is my grandmother's wedding photo, which includes her sister Amelia, a photo of her dad and a photo of adults identified as Alexandres. The last two sent by his grandson's wife. I would love permission to copy the photos.
I know they do not fall within copywrite law: but I would like to add the identified ones to my research and cite your site as the source. I have never sent/forwarded photos but I will try to send them to you.
Fran joigned the A-Team with her pictures I posted.

She also gave me the names of all of his children.

How does it work?
By using Wake on Demand (on your Mac) and Bonjour Sleep Proxy (provided by an AirPort device or Apple TV), you can save energy and reduce costs while still ensuring full access to all your shared services. You can also remotely access shared services across the Internet via Back to My Mac.
Wake on Demand works by partnering with a Bonjour Sleep Proxy running on your AirPort Base Station, Time Capsule or Apple TV (when no AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule is present on the network). Note: Apple TV will act as a Bonjour Sleep Proxy even if it is in sleep mode.
Any Mac on your network that has Wake on Demand enabled in Energy Saver preferences will automatically register itself and its shared services with a Bonjour Sleep Proxy. When the Mac is in sleep mode and a request is made to access a shared service on the Mac, a Bonjour Sleep Proxy asks that Mac to wake and handle the request. Once that request is complete, the Mac will again register with the Bonjour Sleep Proxy and go back to sleep at its defined sleep interval in the Energy Saver preferences. Note: For ideal performance, you should have twenty or less Macs using Wake on Demand per Bonjour Sleep Proxy on your network.
- With Wake on Demand enabled (see below) and your Mac in sleep mode, your Mac will occasionally wake for a brief time, without lighting the screen, in order to maintain active shared service registrations with the Bonjour Sleep Proxy. On some Macs, sounds from the optical drive, hard drive, or fans may be heard during these brief periods. Note: Removing a sleeping Mac from the network will automatically remove its registered shared services from the Bonjour Sleep Proxy.
- Bonjour Sleep Proxy runs on an AirPort Base Station, Time Capsule, or Apple TV (second generation or later)--when no AirPort base station or Time Capsule is present on the network--with the latest software updates installed.
- Portable Macs with Wake on Demand enabled will only perform Wake on Demand functions when they are connected to a power adaptor and either the built-in display is open or an external display is attached.
Examples of how Wake on Demand works
iTunes and iPhoto Sharing
Applications such as iTunes and iPhoto allow you to share your music, movies, and pictures with friends and family on your local network. Wake on Demand allows your Macs to go to sleep, but wake up automatically to let others view your shared stuff.
Printer Sharing
In OS X, you can connect a printer to a Mac and share it with other computers on the network. Wake on Demand allows the Mac to go to sleep while idle, but wake up automatically when it is needed to handle a print job.
Back to My Mac
With Wake on Demand, you can remotely access your Mac via the Internet and Back to My Mac, even if your Mac is in sleep mode.
Local File Sharing, Screen Sharing, other sharing services
In addition to helping your home Mac wake when you remotely access it using Back to My Mac, Wake on Demand also provides the same capability when you access your Mac locally from within your own home network, whether for File Sharing, Screen Sharing, remote log in via SSH, or other sharing services.
Key features
Automatic registration
With "Wake for Network access" or "Wake for Wi-Fi network access" or "Wake for Ethernet network access" enabled in the Energy Saver preferences, OS X will automatically detect the presence of a Bonjour Sleep Proxy service running on your AirPort Base Station, Time Capsule, or Apple TV and register its shared services with the Bonjour Sleep Proxy before going to sleep.
Works on any service
Because Wake on Demand uses Bonjour, it can handle any service that registers with Bonjour regardless of the underlying protocol.
Any Bonjour-enabled client (including both Mac and Windows) can discover Bonjour-registered shared services on your sleeping Macs. Any client that tries to connect to one of these shared services will cause the Mac to wake and provide the shared service to the client.
For example: On a home network with an AirPort Base Station, a Mac sharing an iTunes playlist goes to sleep. A Mac or PC user on the home network sees the iTunes playlist in its iTunes and clicks it. The Bonjour Sleep Proxy wakes the sleeping Mac and its iTunes playlist appears on the other Mac or PC ready to play shared media.
Setting up Bonjour Sleep Proxy and Wake on Demand
To properly configure your network and devices for Bonjour Sleep Proxy and Wake on Demand, follow the steps below:
Setting the Bonjour Sleep Proxy on your AirPort Base Station, Time Capsule or Apple TV
Install the latest software updates for AirPort Base Station with 802.11n (or later including 802.11ac), Time Capsule, or Apple TV (second generation or later) to enable it to act as the Bonjour Sleep Proxy. Once installed, your AirPort Base Station, Time Capsule or Apple TV (when no AirPort base station or Time Capsule is present on the network) will make itself available as a Bonjour Sleep Proxy to other devices on your network with no other configuration necessary.
Setting up your Mac
Macs that ship with Mac OS X v10.6 or later have Wake on Demand enabled by default, but for some earlier Macs this option must be enabled using the steps below.
To enable Wake on Demand on a Mac follow these steps:
- From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
- From the View menu, choose Energy Saver.
- Select (check) "Wake for network access". Note: The "Wake for network access" option's text may differ depending on the capabilities of your Mac:
- Wake for network access - Your Mac supports Wake on Demand over both Ethernet and AirPort
- Wake for Ethernet network access - Your Mac supports Wake on Demand over Ethernet only
- Wake for Wi-Fi network access - Your Mac supports Wake on Demand over AirPort only
Setting up clients
Any Bonjour client can interact with a Mac running Mac OS X v10.6 or later and cause it to Wake on Demand. For Microsoft Windows, you should install Bonjour for Windows.
Wireless Wake on Demand
You can verify that your Mac supports wireless Wake on Demand by following these steps:
- Open System Information.
- While holding down the option key, click the Apple menu and select System Information…
- In the Network section, click Wi-Fi.
If you see "Wake On Wireless: Supported", your Mac supports Wake on Demand when connected to your wireless network and automatically registered with the Sleep Proxy Server. If you do not see "Wake On Wireless: Supported", your Mac can use Wake on Demand if it is connected to your network with an Ethernet cable.
The wireless network you use with Wake on Demand should be the first wireless network in your list of Preferred Networks. The wireless network priority can be set within the Network pane of System Preferences using the following steps:
- From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences…
- From the View menu choose Network.
- Select Wi-Fi from the list of network interfaces.
- If the padlock icon in the lower left is locked, click it. When prompted enter an admin name and password to unlock.
- Click the Advanced… button.
- In the Preferred Networks list under the Wi-Fi tab, click and drag the name of your network that uses Wake on Demand to the top of the list.
- Click OK to save the settings.
- Click Apply, then close System Preferences
