New Olympics Idea: "Who can throw more stupid commentators in the mud" contest
August 27, 2004 in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
I think what has irritated me most in these Olympics (not that it is anything new), but newly as annoying, is the hyperventilating media pressure about gold medals. Listening to these stupid commentators is always the same:
"Mary, we don´t really want to put any pressure on you, but we all know that gold is what matters and if you don´t win it, well, you´re trash. Everyone is counting on you to bring that gold medal, is that clear? If you don´t win, we´ll really tar your perfomance, we´ll execute you with our stupid questions about why you failed before the entire nation, because gold is the only thing our enlightened minds can think of regarding the Olympics.
That doesn´t mean the Olympics aren´t about brotherhood and that other nonsense stuff, do not get me wrong, we aren´t some rapacious gold vultures, but if you don´t get that gold medal, you´re a total loser, you hear? A total loser!"
Can´t we have a "Who can throw more stupid commentators in the mud" contest?
Moments that Make you Hooked on the Olympics
Although I am tempted to write about everything that is profoundly irritating with the Olympics, I´ll blog a little about what´s nice (or maybe both).
Malaysian boy stands tall on highboard
ATHENS, Aug 27 (Reuters) – Bryan Nickson, the smallest Olympian in Athens, stood tall after a bold performance on the 10-metre diving platform at the Games on Friday.
Nickson, who turned 14 in June, is just 1.38 metres (4 ft 6 in) in height and only 30 kg (66 lbs) in weight.
He was unfazed by competing on the world's biggest sporting stage and finished tantalisingly one rung short of a place among the 18 semi-finalists.
I saw him today. A great sight, his body still the size between child and adult, much smaller than the hunky well-toned divers, but that said nothing about his beautiful concentration, as the article said, unfazed was the word. Doesn´t that speak volumes about the power of the mind in sports?
A Big Kerry Belly Flop
Commenting on the post below, J Rice says:
That would be the belly flopper which is a Kerry specialty, perfected in Vietnam — did he tell you he was in Vietnam? Used to scare away the crocodiles, well maybe they were not African crocodiles but JenJisKan size maneaters.
He had a friend who told him that they were imported by Americans to try to ruin the rivers of Vietnam, an act of ecological disaster.
That's why Kerry had to belly flop.
Actually he only told me he was in Vietnam after the polls showed that that was the place to be for him to get a few more votes. Up till then, he had never been in Vietnam. He had been in New Zealand, playing with a dog (poodle). His publicity people thought it was close enough, Vietnam/NZ (it´s over there) and crocodiles/poodles (both have tails). All is well that is reported well, his courage with Vietnam crocodiles, belly flop! 😉
Olympics Diving – No Splash
What makes diving competitions so dull? It just fizzes out at the end of each dive, ploop.
And why should we care about how much water is splashed when they enter the pool, anyways? I actually like it better when there is a splash. I think they should change the rules or create a new competition to see who can make the biggest splash 😉
A Barbaric Society´s Idea of "Hate" Crime/Speech
I have just received one more spam e-mail advertising incest pornography, the catch phrase being, "Would you like to ********** your daughter?"
Now, only in a very violent, sick society, is this labeled free speech and not immediately framed as what it is, incitement to sexual violence in the sphere of the family.
In our deeply putrid world, "hate" speech is defined as:
Hate speech is a controversial term for speech intended to hurt and intimidate someone because of their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or disability.
Notice that no speech that intends to hurt and intimidate someone (even in the case of a child) regarding the sexual sphere is included above.
For example, for a college professor to say, "Lesbians should not be schoolteachers," could be considered hate speech. The professor could be denied tenure, even if he were expressing his religiously-based belief that homosexuals should not be put in positions where they can influence young people. Underlying such a claim is the belief that homosexuals in positions of influence over young people might influence their sexuality. Opponents would argue that the underlying theory behind the words suggests a false understanding of the nature of human sexuality with their usage designed to promote fear of homosexuals and their supposed influence on children among non-homosexuals, so leading to hatred of, and discrimination against, homosexuals. (same link as above)
It is easy to note the irresponsible pro-homosexual bias in the above explanation.
Adults, the media, peer pressure, family experience, etc., are always having influence and impact on an individual. What influence, how much, in what way, etc, is what varies.
Furthermore, the above explanation, in order to legitimize homosexuality, does not distinguish between desire (or the ridiculously murky concept of orientation) and sexuality. Human sexuality is the full aggregate of a person´s psychology (both conscious and unconscious), their intellectual thinking, their attitudes, their values, their desires, their dysfunctions, their emotions, and their behaviors about sex/body/intimacy. It is like comparing a pebble to a mountain.
Therefore any adult could possibly influence another person´s sexuality. A person´s environment, their experiences, their relationships, in short, anything and everything can have an impact on a human being. This does not mean we are clones and experience everything in the same way. Given that human beings are not ameobae and a lot of our psychological make-up is due to external influence, to say a homosexual could not influence others regarding sexuality is profoundly untrue.
Notice also that in the example given, the criticism is from a religious perspective. That is only one anti-homosexual perspective, but there are other ones, such as the social sciences themselves. One does not need to be of a certain religion to understand why homo and bisexuality are dysfunctional and to know they include every form of psychological and behavior problems we have in the world (such as psychological/sexual violence, prostitution, sexual harassment, emotional/personality development problems, bigotry, ignorance, lack of respect/aggression, etc).
This is where the current homosexist culture we live shows it´s true colors. When it frames the objection to homosexuality (which includes all these problems above) as a form of hate and not as a legitimite criticism to a whole set of dysfunctional, and in many cases, harassful and violent actions, it is simply legitimating a lot of aggression, denigration, and violence committed by homosexuals and bisexuals.
So, how is speech being framed in our wonderful society? Objecting to homosexuality (which includes the full range of violent behaviors we know of regarding sex between people of the same sex, although not for all homosexuals) is currently framed as "hate" speech. Pedophilia, which is very similar to adult homosexuality, another dysfunctional form of human sexuality, is just barely not being framed as a legitimate make-up of a person. Therefore, we can still object to pedophilia and not be labeled filled with "hate." Who knows how long that will last. Inciting people to sexually torture children is "free" speech, specially if framed in a pornographic text format.
One of the reasons for this barbaric state of affairs, is that homosexuals are one of the most prominent circuses in society (in the bread and circus sense – see below). Their propaganda functions as a distraction to the horrible problems we have with violence and emotional and mental diseases, which are very much a part of many people´s sexuality.
I also think that to denigrate sexuality, in all its expressions and behaviors where there is a component of sleaze, is a form of aggression. Obviously, in a sick society, denigrating sexuality in every way, except when it has something to do with objecting the norm/legitimation of homosexuality, is deemed free speech.
A homo or bisexual can write or say sexually sleazy things to a person, and this is not hate speech, but if this person objects to homosexuality, this is hate speech. To take the contrast degree one level higher, a homosexual can incite homosexual incest with children, such as in the initial example, and that is not deemed hate speech, if it is done in a pornographic format, but if the child objects to homosexuality, the child is "filled with hate," to use one of gay activists most used propaganda slogans.
It´s just barbaric.
The Bread and Circus of "Hate Crimes"
Double good commentaries from J.Rice – which might seem disparate at a first glance, but are very much a mirror view of the same problem.
First, a reminder about some problematic consequences of the Olympics as a distracting spectacle.
Which is why, no doubt, the Olympics have begun to pall for a lot of people. Poor judging, crybaby Olympians, a monster monopoly on Olympic stories that you have to pay to cover, the whole Olympics has become just another ineptly run Internationalist boondoggle. There is something obscene about a country as poor as Greece spending $10 billion on the Olympic facilities that are unlikely to ever be used again. And there is something unwholesome about pictures of well-fed athletes with unflattering leaf crowns that make them look like bacchanal, waving in triumph of banality. That these pictures crowd out those of the victims in the Sudan who are still waiting for the U.N. to do something — anything, isn't the athletes' fault. It is, though, a symptom of the sickness that old media focus on such frivolity to avoid focusing on the wholesale corruption of the international organizations they would have us defer to on our decision to go to war.
The Olympics have become the gladiator contests that serve to amuse the masses and distract them from the serious business of self-governance. There isn't even the pretense of an Ideal anymore. Pity. If the world needs anything right now it is idealism.
Next, Rice blogged a case that was widely featured in the conservative media, about a psych professor that faked "hate" crime actions against herself.
Hate crime on campus -At least we now know where the hate comes from on campus.
Her gold Honda was sprayed with racial and religious epithets March 9 in a parking lot at Claremont McKenna College. She reported discovering the damage after speaking at a forum on hate speech.
The college canceled classes for a day of anti-hate rallies.
Only thing was, the psychology professor faked the crime, spray painting her own car, slashing the tires herself. She was found guilty of the hoax.
"Mike" asks (comment on above blog):
First of all, what sort of significant crime _isn't_ a hate crime? I just don't understand that whole concept.
The "hate" crime framing is a profound mimicry of Orwell´s Animal Farm tale, when the pigs take over power.
And this faked "hate" crime post and Mike´s comment couldn´t make for a better tie to what Rice wrote regarding the distraction that the Olympics represents from other much, much more serious issues.
Homo activists have pumped up the propaganda for their "plight" and people love to be distracted with this instead of facing how many serious problems with sexual violence and dysfunctions we have in society, not to mention all the other serious problems, such as mass hunger, etc.
The Disappearing Act of Female Athletes´ Clothing
Finally, a much needed commentary on the unpleasant sexing up of athletes. I had been particularly displeased with the track and field female athletes. We do not care to see more than half of their behinds, thank you. We would like to see them run, nicely clothed, not turn into some cheap shots.
Sheep Testicles – Steroids for Ancient Greeks
One more athlete disqualified because of doping. Serves them right. Get them all out.
ATHENS: The fact that Russia's Irina Korzhanenko, who became the first woman to win a gold medal at Olympia – the site of the ancient Games – failed a drugs test should not come as any surprise.
And a nice trivia note on ancient "steroids" from link above.
There are several references in the history books to competitors consuming sheep's testicles, whose performance-enhancing qualities were thought to include boosting testosterone and providing a competitor with more strength.
Mixing the poison-cum-stimulant strychnine with wine was another favourite potion, although getting the proportions wrong could be fatal.
The pitfalls of taking such a drug has lead many pundits with a passing knowledge of ancient Greece to draw parallels with the drug programmes of former Soviet Bloc countries during the 1970s, which have already lead to several premature deaths.
I can understand the extreme pressure these athletes are under to win, both for personal gains as well as all the sports federations, corporate and nationalistic interests behind them. Given the direction the world is going, the pressure should only get worse in the future. That´s why we need some strong "no dope allowed – period" enforcement in all games.
p.s. hard to tell from the 50 posts in 3 days that I´ve been hooked on the Olympics…
Hamm Stands Tall in Medal Muddle – Like 2 Feet Tall
This really surprised me, but it seems popular opinion is upholding the "right thing to do" over the "winning gold by cheating or error is just fine" attitude.
What's the best way to handle the scoring error that led to Paul Hamm's all-around gold medal?
Give both Hamm and Yang Tae-young gold
Give Yang gold and Hamm silver
Change nothing
Yahoo vote on Aug.23-04
I was following the judging mess in this case at first with a suspicion for wrong doing. When many in the media started to compare the wrong Yang scoring with a football error that you cannot undo, it only made it worse. This media was much too quick to say the Hamm fiasco had nothing similar to the corrupt actions of the 2002 skating scandal. They obviously wanted to rule out the possibility by shouting it didn´t exist, rather than by investigation. If judges simply made a human error, read clean, there is no need for any of punishment, such as suspension.
I found it very suspicious that this error should happen exactly in this competition and exactly having this significant result of making Korea lose its gold and Hamm get it, after he not insignificantly fell with a thud. To make matters more suspicious, the judge responsible for the error is American. And when it couldn´t get any worse, we get reports that the other "Colombian" judge has lived and worked in Ohio for several years. One has to concur there are a lot of "coincidences" of Americans involved in the "human error" points award.
Fortunately, as in the Hamm comeback itself, several sports journalists jumped into writing some of the most get-go for ethics and sportsmanship articles and opinion pieces you´ve seen this Olympics (see links below). One surprising news report even suggested the lead came from part of the American media followed by the Koreans. I didn´t go check, but if true, kudos for those who did.
Next in the Hamm saga, the Hamm parents got protectively involved, his father stating that he didn´t know if he should warn Paul of the controversy before last night, because it might hinder his spirits, but he was afraid his son would get booed when entering the stadium. One can understand his dilemma and how he felt for his son. Then news reports came out stating Paul "bravely" said he would return his gold medal if the authorities decided he needed to do that.
So it seemed Paul was trying to do the right thing in difficult circumstances. Not only all the stress of an Olympic competition, and then this. But that was exactly before he opened his mouth and showed what an egotistical, no sportsmanship athlete he is. "This is not my issue, I won it, who cares how, and I´m upset at anyone who dares to suggest I´m not going to keep my toy. Be quiet and go away." Worse still, Paul´s mother offered a press statement defending her son, saying "he hadn´t done anything wrong, so why the big fuss with my little boy and his tarnished gold medal?"
Certainly Paul did not do anything wrong at the competition, quite on the contrary, but now that´s no longer true regarding his attitudes and actions. He didn´t ask to be thrown in this mess but he was. Now it is a different kind of meet and points are scored by honor, not petty selfishness.
As several people pointed out, he could have led the way to request Yang get a gold medal too, and he wouldn´t even lose his, even though he didn´t earn it properly. Although not the most noble, that would even spare him the sting of losing the gold he thought was his. It´s an all-around win-win solution. If he shared gold with the Korean, he would have become the symbol of sportsmanship for a lifetime. But even this has been to good for him so far. I wouldn´t want him on my Wheaties box.
What worries me, however, is that, if there was a little persuasion for such a judging mistake to occur, and Hamm is allowed to then really rob the gold from the Korean, this sends an unmistakable message to everyone: gymnastics is the sports to cheat, corrupt, and get away with it. Go for it.
Related- Greed for gold is more important:
NYPOST – HAMM STANDS TALL IN MEDAL MUDDLE (— like 2 feet tall —)

Svetlana the Great – Anyone Disturbed by her Thinness?
Slate has an interesting article on Svletana, her career, her bitterness at not winning just now. I have a question on how thin she looks.
What is appealing about Khorkina is that she grasps the magnitude of every moment. In a pre-Olympics interview, she told NBC that she loved being called a diva. "A diva is magical; you can't catch her," she smiled. Before the awards ceremony, she changed into a sleeveless bright-blue leotard that appeared to be made of shiny vinyl, of the sort usually seen on miniskirts in night clubs. With a body that was much too tall and supposedly much too old to compete at the highest level in a sport given over to springy squirts, she refused to let anyone tell her what her place was. She would remain undefeated in her own mind.
I agree that Svetlana has fierce determination, grace, is a great gymnast, etc., etc., but was anyone disturbed about how thin she looks?
She certainly seemed full of energy in her routines, not like she had anorexia and was wasting away, and had often a brimming expression (except at the end), but she looked like she had just stepped out of a concentration camp to me.
Now that it´s over, even though she is not happy, maybe she´ll allow herself some good, hearty milkshakes and become something other than skin and bones.
By the reports we have of so many broken lives of these gymnasts after they are forced to end their often very neurotic short lived careers, I hope she finds her way in life, whatever that may be.

I asked for your analysis of this NEW TREND among elite swimmers (especially from the US) to copy Michael Phelps "hiphop freestyle" (or you could call it yoyo freestyle if you wish, where one side of the body always swings / pulls higher than the other).
Thanks a million oriental rugs in advance.
It seems like the time is ripe for some software that can split left from right and then superimpose the images to highlight any differences.
Hi Rudolf, I'm not sure if it's a trend (or even new, Michael Phelps won his first Olympic Golds 11 years ago after all!) but I did reply on the post two weeks ago to you.


If you are the couple that loves watercolour and an invitation that has a fine art finish, you will fall in love with the invitation suite from today's feature.

Sitting here this morning, pondering over my thoughts on this idea of cutting rock with the sun. Applying my engineering knowledge to the situation, I had a revelation. Even could picture it set up and operating in my mind.
Lay the desired stone out so it faces north to south, meaning the desired cut is facing east to west. We know those in Egypt understood this simple principle and mastered it being the Pyramids are in alignment.
Over the stones fasten a wooden arch, similar to a small sapling tree bent over the stone. On top of the arch place the quartz Fresnel lens.
As the sun rises, it will come through the lens at an angle. As it rises and then sets throughout the day. It will then cut through the entire stone from side to side by using the path of the sun as the precision guide and saw blade.
Would there be any residue of such a thing happening? Yes, for the granules of rock that are melted away would turn to glass. This is easily noted in the video I shared on the previous post under this topic. As the person melted crushed rock into a ball of glass. Do we find glass in the desert of Egypt today? Yes we do, its called Libyan desert glass.
I am by far no expert in this field.
But to me it looks like a duck… and quacks like a duck.
We heard the children read on Sept 11, 2001 from My Pet Goat and their words: kite, hit, steel, plane, must.
What were the children doing? If we define what the kids were reading, the reality of the matter comes to focus. Lets define the words used that day that change the world.

Q: How to pass attributes from knife command (ssh)? Is it possible to attributes from knife command (ssh),
e.g.
knife ssh 'role:server' 'sudo chef-client' <-- how to pass attributes to remote?

A: You should set the attributes you want on the node object(s) on the Chef Server.
You can do this through a variety of methods.

*

*Add the attributes to the role you've applied to the nodes - this probably the best for systems that are all in a single role.

*Modify the node(s) directly, with knife node edit, or script it with knife exec.

*Set the attributes in an environment, if you're using those.

Q: How to let a user join channel in Slack App I am working on a slack app which has its bot also.A user can share a file from the bot to any public channel even if he is not in that channel. If user is not in the channel then firstly I will add the user in the channel and then share the file. For this slack provides api https://api.slack.com/methods/channels.join which helps a user join a channel. But it expects a user token corresponding to the user who wants to join the channel. Now the issue is I only have bot token(xoxb-) and api token(xoxp-) corresponding to the user which has installed the app. So how can I get the token corresponding to any user whom I want to join OR I am missing something here. Please help.

A: No, you do not need a token corresponding with the joining user.
When installing a Slack app with a bot user you receive two tokens: a bot token and an app token. The app token (but not the bot token) will work for inviting users to public channels, provided your app has the required scopes (channels:write).


"Our lives are like kaleidoscopes - continually changing with every new experience and with the people we meet."
The Amphitheater Project was initiated out of discussions with Thornton residents and visitors who had a desire to activate the space visually and embody the playful, creative community spirit of the city of Thornton. The Thornton Arts, Sciences and Humanities Council (TASHCO), commissioned a highly innovative, large-scale outdoor piece that would have a strong visual impact.
DiAnne is a Thornton resident and began her career as a professional artist at the age of 17 when she was commissioned to paint a mural for the Spanish Royal Navy. After serving 11-years in the U.S. Navy, she completed her studies in film production and an internship with Oscar-winning documentary producer Donna Dewey.
To learn more about DiAnne and her work, please visit her website.
Cooper's design for the amphitheater brings many individual kaleidoscopes together to create a vibrant carnival of beautiful colors and patterns - like the community itself. The main component is made of overlapping two-dimensional panels, which create a 3D illusion. The panels are made of durable museum quality, outdoor-specific materials. The design continues to the monochrome circles at the front of the stage and to the angled wall; each giving a subtle texture to draw the visitor into the environment. Anchored concrete spheres with a satin metallic pigment will provide a fanciful component; playing with the viewer's spatial perspective and sense of scale. At night, the kaleidoscope panels enhance the venue with cheerful color and patterns as the spheres metallic finish gently reflect the light of the stage and the night sky above.
This project was made possible through the Adams County Open Space Fund. Money in this fund is generated from Adams County sales tax revenues and is directly distributed to qualifying jurisdictions for use in parks and opens space. $145,000 in funds is being used for improvements to the amphitheater in Margaret Carpenter Park and Open Space in the form of public art.
All public art design submissions are reviewed and chosen by members of the TASHCO Public Art Subcommittee. Board members score designs based on their artistic merit, creativity, and overall impact on the community. TASHCO members support and advocate for the arts and humanities within the city of Thornton.
Margaret Carpenter Park and the Amphitheater are the main gathering place for Thornton residents and visitors. Carpenter Park is home to Thorntonfest, Fourth of July, Movies in the Park and WinterFest. These events attract thousands of people every year. The summer concert series, theater, dance programs, art sales and performances that take place in the amphitheater are part of the community space that Carpenter Park embodies and welcomes.

You can't control others, but you can control yourself.  You can control how you choose to perceive and feel. This is the oldest piece of empowerment psychology out there, but it's so true.  It starts with you on every single level.  The love and relationships that you want to experience start with self.  How's your relationship with you?  It's time to transform it, and never stop.

The hotel room was filled beyond its legal capacity. Sprawled upon the two double beds, chair, night stands, window sill and floor sat twenty or so men. The air was thick with their voices. There was the six foot six, skinny Asian man with a few wisps of hair still clinging to his head, throwing his head back with roaring laughter. There was the short, thin, balding former professor with wire-rimmed glasses shoveling out words of wisdom at a speed nearly breaking the sound barrier. There was the stocky pastor with the red beard smiling quietly and listening intently. There was the Kentuckian with a slight southern drawl and glimmering eyes finishing up a long, winding, hilarious story. There was a guy named Dayv. There were several others and there was me.
You couldn't tell from the jovial late afternoon conversation that just two months before the economy had tanked, which was soon to be known as "The Great Recession." There was no indication the event they had originally planned in Sacramento California, in that hotel, was supposed to be attended by dozens of men but had to be cancelled due to the uncertain economy. And yet, some of them came from across the country anyway. They crammed into one of their hotel rooms and, more or less, conducted the event they had cancelled.
The chatter before they headed to dinner was broken up when the former professor stood up and asked for the voices to quiet down. Some snickered. One hurled a sarcastic insult at him. Others talked in hushed tones. The floor his, momentarily, he asked these men what they were going to do about next year.
Murmurs. More snickering. A few talked to the guy closest to him. A voice rose above the rest and simply asked, "How about we have it in Omaha?" He was quiet, midwestern, face round, eyes steely. It was in the middle of the country, he explained. Omaha was affordable and it had character. He had a group of guys, me among them, who would help with the planning.
Something sent the Asian into another fit of uproarious laughter. He was listening to another of the Kentuckian's stories instead of the steely-eyed midwestern. The former professor nodded approvingly at the suggestion of Omaha. The red-bearded pastor considered the idea quietly. Voices rose as they discussed the idea. Some spilled another joke.
"I think that would work," somebody spoke up loud enough to be heard above the again growing roar.
"I'm in!" bellowed the Asian.
And that's how the Annual At-Home Dads Convention (now know as HomeDadCon) was saved.
Three years earlier, at the end of the 10th Annual At-Home Dads Convention in Chicago, where it had been held for its first ten years, organizers announced they had decided to not host an 11th convention. Many of the dads, however, did not want to stop having this annual gathering. Andy Ferguson (the former professor), Hogan Hilling (the loud tall Asian), Phil Andrew (the steely-eyed midwestern) and several other dads (my aging brain have forgotten their names, plus I wasn't there) began talking about how they could continue this event. They knew these annual gatherings had changed their lives and wanted to continue offering other at-home dads that same life-changing opportunity. Andy, like Phil would three years later, stepped up and offered to host the convention in Kansas City, where we was then living. It was centrally located, affordable and had a good group of guys to help with planning.
In November 2006, the 11th Annual At-Home Dads Convention kicked off. About half as many dads (50) attended compared to the the previous year in Chicago. It was the first of my now 14 consecutive conventions. The great presenters, break-out sessions, food and camaraderie was there. The life-changing experience was still there. A new era of the event was born.
The 12th Convention in 2007 was held the next year in Kansas City. In 2008 it moved to Sacramento. And then it was cancelled.
For the second time in its history, the Convention was revived.
The following two Conventions were held in Omaha, each with about 50 dads. The Convention in 2011 moved to Washington DC. Another snag developed.
The leader organizing that Convention clashed with the Board of Directors of the recently formed National At-Home Dad Network. By late spring of 2011, he was no longer involved with the Convention. I had recently been elected President of the Board and with about four months before the Convention, we began furiously putting the pieces together to make the Convention happen. Robb Tavill, one of the key planners of the Conventions in Omaha, Hogan Hilling and Kevin Folk from the DC area were instrumental in leading the team from across the country to put on the largest convention since 2005.
From then, the Convention has grown steadily. By my last year as President in 2015, nearly 150 dads attended. Through today, the Convention has persevered and is now in it's 24th year.
The history of this event is like a roller coaster. We had ups. We had downs. We had twists and turns. We screamed in terror. Yet, this event stayed on the tracks.
Its survival through many difficulties and different leaders, I think, explains the value and necessity of this event for stay-at-home dads. The connections made and the parenting skills shared are life-changing. Dads who felt isolated and knew no one attending the convention, often left after three days with many new friends who hug like true brothers. They leave as better men and fathers and it compels them to want to give back. No matter the challenges, and there have been many, these dads have been committed to do whatever needs to be done to make sure the Convention happens the next year. They recognize the impact it has made on their lives, how critical this event has been to the improvements in their families and they want to share this with as many other dads as possible.
I am very humbled for having the opportunity to be involved in the history of this event, to keeping it going and to have helped so many dads. It is a testament to the character of the men who attend and the brotherhood they have created which is so strong it cannot be broken no matter the difficulty. Hundreds, probably thousands, of dads will be impacted as this event continues for decades to come, an event that has transcended squabbles of ego and logistics, scarcity of money and manpower, to be among one the longest lasting annual conventions in the country. It is by no accident. If you have never attended, I recommend you make plans for next year. If you have attended, I encourage you to return. If you think it cannot possibly be this valuable, I challenge you to find out for yourself. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Experiences that transform people are rare. The Annual At-Home Dads Convention (now know as HomeDadCon) is one of these rare experiences.

Q: Best way to save data The thing is I need to store something like:
100 strings
20-30 ints

As you can see, it's a pretty large number, and you might say "Use sql"! I would use sql but for me it looks kinda alien. It's a lot of code, and after that I can't find a tutorial that shows you: look, you make a database with tables like this, and then you read it like this, you can also search in it like this...
Can you please give me the best method to save that data? And if you say sql, please give me a tutorial or something that shows me how to do what I said above.

A: I would say you should look into SQLite and try to learn that. But if you really want to stay away from SQL you could use putStringSet to store your strings in SharedPreferences. Now there isn't a thing for putIntSet but you could convert your ints to strings using String.valueOf(myInt) and save it using the same putStringSet. I would like to be clear though, I think that a database is the way to go on this but this method should work for you.

A: If you use SQl, look at ORMLite, which will let you store objects in the db (http://ormlite.com/).  For 100 strings, if they're basically name/value pairs, just use SharedPreferences http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences.html.  Could also use static string resources, as mentioned.


Can Microsoft win the Online Music Sales War?
Microsoft gets into this particular market with the launch of Microsoft Windows Media Player 10. And the competition here is Apple's iTunes. Very successful and damn popular. It is backed by the Walkman of portable music players: iPod. The largest selling player in the market is the primary reason why Apple iTunes is so popular because apple forbids music bought from other online stores to play on iPod. Microsoft has the same problems considering they can't support music playing on iPod. They do support more than 70 other portable players in the market which might help them get a good chunk of the market.
Another thing is that many of these online stores offer music downloads not only of lower quality (128kbps) but also in proprietary formats like AAC (Apple) and ATRAC (Sony).... which is LAME.
ipod itunes rocks man...but surely micirosft will come out with its own ipod.

Q: Codeigniter won't display errors on database write operations I have debugged a few errors that were the result of something like misspelling a database field name or something like that. CodeIgniter seems to load a blank page if there is an error in your query and you're trying to do a database write operation. How can I get it to tell me that there is something wrong with the query instead of displaying a blank page? It would help a lot when debugging these kind of problems cause it takes a while sometimes to figure out that the query is messed up.
I added this to the error reporting portion of index.php to see if it may help but it still gives me a blank page:
if (defined('ENVIRONMENT'))
{
    switch (ENVIRONMENT)
    {
        case 'development':
            error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED);
            ini_set('display_errors', 1);
        break;

        case 'testing':
        case 'production':
            error_reporting(0);
        break;

        default:
            exit('The application environment is not set correctly.');
    }
}

A: A couple ideas for you, first check if db_debug set to true in your database config file:
$db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE;

You can also use the profiler to display loads of debugging info:
$this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);

Lastly you can check the result of a suspicious query manually:
$this->db->_error_message();

Cloverdale Bridge - "No LRT"
A bit of controversay in the River City this week! The steel framed and wooden boardwalk Cloverdale bridge is coming down this summer to make way for the new Tawatinaw carrying the Light Rail Transit (LRT) trains from downtown to the city's southeast. I'm sure I have a few photos of this bridge, but took a few more tonight. A small sign protesting the LRT is hanging on the side of the bridge in this photo. The Cloverdale bridge is conviniently located to cross from the city's northern to southern cycling trails and access the Mill Creek trails on the south side and has a wide pathway for pedestrians and cyclists to cross together safely. Standing near the centre of the bridge also offers one of the most spectacular views of downtown at sunrise. The bridge must have been built in the early 1970s when the Capital Region River Valley trail system was developed. The rickety boards give it some character too! It is disappointing that the Cloverdale bridge cannot operate while the Tawatinaw is being constructed. It means three years of disruption on the trail system and crossing points shift a kilometre west to the Low Level (which is not a very wide pedestrian-cycling pathway) or five-ish kilometres east to the Dawson. The new bridge looks quite interesting with high towers and cables supporting the deck. Once completed the LRT trains will cross the river and a portion of the parkland in the river valley.


It seems like no matter what I do, my house is always messy and cluttered. I know a big culprit of this is that we just have too much stuff. While I have been working away at de-cluttering and organizing every room in the house, it's always nice when you come across storage DIY hacks that will help make your house feel less full. When I was younger, it was all about the material items in my home.
Now that I'm a little older, I want less stuff and more time. It's funny how things tend to change as you get older, no matter how many times you tell yourself you'll always be that cooler hip version of your younger self. By de-cluttering and organizing though, you will find hidden treasures that you pretty much forgot about over the years and can't bring yourself to throw away. That's where these awesome storage DIY hacks come in handy. They'll help you get organized without having to throw away all of your possessions.
1. Bobby Pin Magnet – I am constantly finding bobby pins throughout my house, especially buried deep in the fabric. Get them organized by attaching a magnetic string in your bathroom where you know they belong. Stick them on there and you'll always know where they are.
2. Pots And Pan Lids – Use a towel rack attached to the inside of a kitchen cabinet to hang up pots and pan lids. This will free up cabinet space along with keeping them organized so you know exactly where the lid you need is.
3. Grocery Bag Holder – Inside of a kitchen cabinet, attach an empty tissue box. Then you can stuff it with empty grocery bags rather than throwing them away, and they won't take up a ton of space.
4. Tension Rod Under The Sink – By hanging a tension rod under your sink, you can hang all of your spray bottles that contain household cleaners. This frees up space on the bottom of the cabinet.
5. Hanging Suitcases – Hang up suitcases in your storage areas to free up more space on the ground. You'll also never be searching for your favorite suitcase before you go on vacation.
6. Crown Molding Shoe Hanger – For all those ladies that have a ton of high heel shoes, this is a great way to hang up all of those shoes and have them on display so you never have to dig through your shoes to find the other pair.
7. Bathroom Organizer – I hate having my hair straightener and blow dryer on the counter, but with this easy fix, they are on display and out of the way.
8. Pull-Out Cutting Board – If you have a little bit of space in your kitchen, a pull out cutting board is a great way to use this space. It is out of the way when you don't need it, and is in the perfect spot for when you do need it.
9. Lazy Susan For Pots And Pans – A Lazy Susan is great for pots and pans. Rather than them taking up a ton of space in a cabinet, install a Lazy Susan in a corner cabinet, making it easy to spin it around to find that much needed pan.
10. Paper Towel Holder – If you have a spare drawer that you're not using, but have a ton of stuff on your counter tops, install this paper towel holder!
11. Measuring Cup Door – I absolutely love this idea. As someone who cooks a ton, I am always having to go online to see what the conversions of different cups are. I will definitely be adding this one to my kitchen.
12. Magnetic Spice Rack – This is such an easy way to organize your spices. Hang your most used spices up on the fridge using magnetic holders. They're cute, easily accessible, and can be found for very cheap.
13. Bamboo Knife Holder – If you have a cute vase, along with some bamboo skewers, you can make this cute and natural looking knife holder.
14. Kitchen Vertical Organizer – By organizing your kitchen vertically, you will free up some much needed counter space. With this you'll need laminated fabric along with a cork board. Then you can attach empty shampoo and soap bottles for little cubby holes.
15. Pegboard Jewelry Organizer – Take a pegboard and cut it down to whatever size you need. Then you can paint it or leave it plain, attached hooks for the jewelry, and you've got a super cute jewelry organizer.
16. Hanging Hangers – This may seem like an odd organizational tip, but if you are always in a hurry in the morning, getting your clothes ready the night before is a huge time saver. You can hang these hangers from a wall or ceiling and it'll ensure your clothes don't get wrinkly.
17. Kitchen Food Dispensers – If your pantry is overflowing, and you have a few staple items that you constantly use, hanging up food dispensers is a great way to free up some space while keeping these staple items handy.
18. Built In Dish Rack – This is a great idea if you want to de-clutter your house and have a spare cabinet over the sink. If you put the racks on shelves that pull out, you'll never have your dirty/clean dishes too far out of reach.
19. Over The Sink Cutting Board – If you love to cook, you know it's a pain to wash your food, cut it up, carry the scraps to the garbage, etc. With this over the counter cutting board, you can do all of that right in one sp2ot. If you cut a hole in the cutting board and turn it into a small garbage can, or even a strainer you'll cut down on your food prep even more!
20. Hanging Chip Hooks – These hooks can be found at most big box stores, but they'll help free up space in your pantry and it'll also keep these chips very fresh.

Q: iptables: different rules for different current gateway IPs Suppose I have Machine A as a gateway.
Machine A has one interface with 2 IPs.
The netplan config for Machine A is like this:
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    eth0:
      dhcp4: no
      addresses:
        - 192.168.1.1/24
        - 192.168.1.2/24

Now I want the iptables's REDIRECT rules behave differently depending on whether Machine B set its gateway as 192.168.1.1 or as 192.168.1.2
This is the iptables command I am trying to execute on Machine A:
iptables --table nat --append PREROUTING --some-parameter 192.168.1.1 --protocol tcp  --jump REDIRECT --to-ports 9991
iptables --table nat --append PREROUTING --some-parameter 192.168.1.2 --protocol tcp  --jump REDIRECT --to-ports 9992

Could you please tell what is the correct name for the --some-parameter
above?

A: There's no way to do this with 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 on the gateway's same network interface, thus resolving to the same MAC address. It's not a feature not implemented in iptables that could be implemented, it's a feature that cannot be implemented because of how IP networking works.
A client using 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 as gateway will never send a single IPv4 packet with 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 in it when emitting packets to Internet. It will:

*

*consult its routing table for a given destination

*find that there is a gateway for this destination

*Use ARP or a cached entry to resolve the L2 address (Ethernet MAC address) needed to reach the gateway.

The last step will have only one Ethernet destination: the gateway's NIC unique MAC address: the same for a client with gateway 192.168.1.1 or an other client with gateway 192.168.1.2.
So each client will now send a packet to the gateway with their IPv4 source address, the intended IPv4 destination in an Ethernet frame having the same destination Ethernet MAC address in both cases. 192.168.1.1/192.168.1.2 is out of the loop.
The gateway now sees two packets to route. In no case these packets hint anymore if they were using 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 as gateway: the information doesn't appear on the wire so can't be known anywhere by the gateway. If the system has no information to distinguish the cases, then iptables can't have this non-existing information either.

Suggestion of workaround:
One can use a MACVLAN interface to have a second NIC with its own separate MAC address and assign 192.168.1.2/24 to it instead, which will make packets from clients using 192.168.1.2 as gateway arrive on this NIC instead. This case is easy to distinguish with iptables: a different -i NIC filter.
But this creates the routing problem of having multiple NICs in the same LAN and requires either:

*

*advanced policy-routing rules to address this case properly
so replies aren't sent through the wrong NIC possibly affecting routing behavior or firewall rules.

*

*and in addition, any UDP service queried on 192.168.1.2 (if 192.168.1.1 is the default), must know how to answer with the correct source address 192.168.1.2 (instead of default 192.168.1.1): it must be multi-homed aware. TCP doesn't require special care.

*or else an additional network namespace to separate the added interface. But with a REDIRECT rule, that means the service on port 9992 must run in the additional network namespace instead. And this network namespace still probably has to communicate to Internet using the initial network namespace: also more configuration to plan in various places.

In terms of popularity, this move may spell biNu's come back in Zimbabwe. The free in yesteryear's "free SMS" is back! This past November biNu's total active users were just 53,000. Dropping from a high of about 120,000 in 2012 and effectively less than the 60k they achieved in 2011 when they started. That is serious decline!
The zero rating model may be biNu's rope to the land of the living. I have the app installed again. I don't know yet how much I'll use it.
Most of those readers are consuming news from sites such as Herald, NewsDay, Daily News and even content pirate sites like Bulawayo24.com who actually have the most news pageviews on biNu.
Of these users, biNu says 85% are on Android. No surprises there ofcourse but it shows clearly how biNu has managed the transition from a "Smartphone in the Cloud" app for feature phones, to a regular smartphone app riding on zero rating for traction.
Lentell also shared that the 265,000 are viewing some quarter of a billion pageviews a month, growth from just over 50 million in january last year. The company is expecting to keep growing active users in coming months. "We added a net 50k users this month [January], should be bigger next month," Lentell told us.
The lack of net neutrality is ofcourse at the centre of biNu's success. We've spoken about the net neutrality issue here at Techzim for almost 2 years now. We think it's an important discussion to have so that meaningful solutions come out, or at least everyone that has a stake in the future of the internet in Zimbabwe, is fully aware of what's at stake and regulators make informed decisions.
We share our thoughts on this issue in a separate article later, especially with the closely watched developments in India as well as since some other interesting models have been presented to date.
Here are more stats that biNu shared with us.
Still doesn't work on iPhone?
Is binu still free? It's not loading. Neither can I access the zero-rated websites. Is there a catch? please help.

FCC Chairman Under Trump Declares Agency's Authority to Define Language on Political Speech
Liana Sowa
Caricature of Ajit Pai by DonkeyHotey used with permission
October 16, 2020 – The Federal Communications Commission dove deep into political territory on Thursday by declaring that the agency had authority to rule on questions pertaining to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
The move was widely criticized by technology industry and public advocacy organizations.
Grabbing hold of a recent statement in denial of certiorari by Justice Clarence Thomas that was critical of Section 230, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai on Thursday said: "Members of all three branches of the federal government have expressed serious concerns about the prevailing interpretation of the immunity set forth in Section 230 of the Communications Act. There is bipartisan support in Congress to reform the law. The U.S. Department of Commerce has petitioned the Commission to 'clarify ambiguities in section 230.' And earlier this week, [Thomas] pointed out that courts have relied upon 'policy and purpose arguments to grant sweeping protections to Internet platforms' that appear to go far beyond the actual text of the provision."
With that as background, Pai said that the agency's general counsel "has informed me that the FCC has the legal authority to interpret Section 230," and that he therefore intended to move forward with the Trump Administration's efforts to narrow the scope of the law.
The Center for Democracy and Technology, Public Knowledge, Tech Freedom, the Computer and Communications Industry Association and the Consumer Technology Association blasted the agency for the stance.
Tech Freedom said: "When a Democratic FCC Chairman pushed neutrality regulations at the behest of President Obama, Ajit Pai said: 'We shouldn't be a rubber stamp for political decisions made by the White House.' Now Pai's doing essentially what he lambasted Tom Wheeler for: proposing sweeping 'neutrality' rules at a President's behest based on unprecedented claims of legal authority to regulate Internet services."
Added Public Knowledge: "The FCC does not have authority to 'clarify' Section 230 — it is not a statute that Congress gave the agency any authority over whatsoever," said John Bergmayer, legal director at Public Knowledge. "Additionally, if Chairman Pai's planned rulemaking is at all informed by the NTIA petition, it is likely to be fatally flawed in other ways, as the NTIA insists on an interpretation of the statute that is contradicted by the plain meaning of the words that Congress enacted, and, in fact, that contradicts itself."
CCIA agreed that the FCC does not have authority to issue rulemaking and has expressed this concern on multiple occasions.
"Retaliating against companies enforcing their Terms of Service by initiating regulatory proceedings is not how democracies are supposed to work," said CCIA President Matt Schruers. "Being a political figure isn't a free pass to break digital services' content rules."
Avery Gardiner, senior fellow for competition, data, and power at the Center for Democracy and Technology said at a Federal Communications Bar Association event in September that Section 230 reform "shouldn't happen after an executive order from a disgruntled president." Instead, she pointed to Congress' authority to reform 230.
When prodded by FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, who said he believed the FCC had rulemaking authority over Section 230, Gigi Sohn, distinguished fellow at the Georgetown Law Institute for Technology Law and Policy, admitted that while she did not want the FCC to have this authority, they very well might.
Sohn's objections to this authority echoed the objections of Jamie Susskind, vice president of policy and regulatory affairs at Consumer Technology Association, who said that it was in Congress' jurisdiction—not the FCC's—to amend Section 230.

Best Dad Ever: This Dad Is Judd Apatow!
Filed to:amazing
The internet's shown us a lot of amazing super-dads over the years, but here's an incredible parent who just might take the cake as the greatest dad of all time: This dad is Judd Apatow!
Wow! This guy is seriously a next-level dad!
While building your kid a Frozen-themed treehouse might win you viral dad-fame for a day or two, no flashy feat of parenting can ever compare to the sheer awesomeness of LA-based dad Judd Apatow, who goes above and beyond every single day to be Judd Apatow for his children.
His two daughters Maude and Iris lucked out big time with a parent who clearly has dad-ing down to a science, as not only does Judd show his girls unconditional love and support, but he also frequently goes out of his way to write, direct, and produce wildly popular comedy films—something not many dads will take the time to do. And no matter how busy Judd gets with building his entertainment empire and making millions of dollars, he never fails to find the time to delight his kids by rubbing elbows with Hollywood A-listers like Seth Rogen and Kristen Wiig, which is pretty much the pinnacle of dad goals.
There are plenty of dads who will go to great lengths to make their kids happy, but aside from Judd Apatow, it's hard to think of any others who will put in so much hard work and dedication to be the Judd Apatow. And because of his tireless efforts, his daughters get to wake up every day and watch him do awesome dad stuff like creating the Netflix original series Love and recording a stand-up special at Montreal's Just For Laughs festival. Plus, for what it's worth, he's got a pretty nice dad bod—although sorry, ladies, he's happily married to movie star Leslie Mann (uh, how frickin' awesome is that?!?).
Damn. As far as being a dad goes, Judd Apatow has set the bar pretty high, and we honestly pity any other dads who endeavor to reach a similar level of awesomeness. You're probably better off just sitting back and marveling as Judd gives us a master class in parenting day in and day out.

Q: Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy blocking glyphicons from Bootstrap in CodeIgniter application I'm trying to use the glyphicons provided by Bootstrap 3.3.6 but Chrome is blocking the access to them with this error message:

Font from origin 'http://[::1]' has been blocked from loading by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost' is therefore not allowed access.

This is my .htaccess:
   <IfModule authz_core_module>
      Require all denied
   </IfModule>
   <IfModule !authz_core_module>
      Deny from all
   </IfModule>
   <FilesMatch "\.(ttf|otf|eot|woff)$">
      <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
      </IfModule>
   </FilesMatch>

What am I doing wrong? Am I editing the wrong .htaccess?
I also tried adding header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *"); at the beginning of my header.php file but that didn't work either. I'm out of ideas.
The folder structure is like this:
   application
       controller
       model
       view
           header.php
           index.php
           footer.php
       .htaccess
   system
   assets
       css
       fonts
       images
       js

A: I found the issue: I didn't set the base_url in the config.php from CodeIgniter. After setting it everything works.

A: You need to add the base URL to your configuration file:
$config['base_url'] ='http://www.urlname.com';

We can set this way so we can move any server no need to change try this one.

$config['base_url'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/';

A: Allowing cross-site scripting may cause security issues, try to adjust your codeigniter options;
1.) Go to application/config/config.php file,
2.) find $config['base_url'] = ""; and
3.) place your project folder's path as value. $config['base_url']="http://localhost/yourProjectFolder/";
