Flandriens... the pioneers of the cycling history.
Flandriens were a special type of racing cyclists. Just before the First World War and in the Interbellum they were simple men that could make a cycling race hard by always attacking in most difficult weather situations and on rough cobbled roads. They used basic heavy steel frames during 450 km day drives with only one or two gears, taking all food with them and repairing themselves their bikes. The Flandriens are at the basis of all actual cycling world. Unfortunately their epic adventures are forgotten. Today's luxury "carbon-pussy" cyclists always complain on their bicycles, on the roads, detest races of more than 200km, slow support from the team and don't feel the real passion of cycling anymore.
Names of popular pre-War Flandriens were: Maurice Garin, Lucien Petit-Breton, Cyril Van Hauwaert, Lucien, Jules & Marcel Buyze, Gaston Rebry, Odiel Defraeye, the Pelissier brothers, Ottavio Bottechia, Maurice De Waele, André Leducq, René Vietto, Alfredo Binda, Learco Guerra, Roger Lapébie, Antonin Magne, Eugène Christophe, Oscar Egg, Nicolas Frantz, Antonio Pesenti, Maurice Archambaud, Léon Scieur, Giuseppe Olmo, Firmin Lambot, Gustaaf Van Slembroeck, Philippe Thys, Romain Maes, ...
Post war names: Fausto Coppi, Gino Bartali, Eddy Merckx, Lucien Van Impe, Roger De Vlamynck, Fransesco Moser, Jean Robic, Jacques Anquetil, Rik Van Looy, Rik Van Steenbergen, Jempi Monséré, Briek Schotte, Louison Bobet, Hugo Koblet, Stan Ockers , Fiorenzo Magni, Herman Van Springel, Freddy Maertens, Charly Gaul, Raphaël Geminiani, Felice Gimondi, Bernard Hinault, Raymond Poulidor, Bernard Thévenet,Wout Wagtmans, Hennie Kuiper, Jan Raas, Gerrie Knetemann, Rudi Altig,.. and many many others

I dreamt that I was living in New York City and Leticia was there too. We were learning how to shoot guns for a big battle that would soon happen. There was a guy on our team who was really strong and his gun used to be the cannon on a tank. I asked him how he was able to lift it and he ignored me.
Then we were doing target practice with our guns, the end.


This card is for this week's Mojo Monday. I inked the stamp with Pretty in Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turqoise and Regal Rose markers and cut it out. I shimmered it up with Art Accents Pink Princess glitter - isn't it cute!!!!! I stamped the branch with Close to Cocoa marker on Creamy Caramel paper and made flowers and leaves with the Cricut. The circle and the scallop backgound is also made with the Cricut (I'm LOVING my new Design Studio). Swiss dot Cuttlebug folder on the right side of the Whisper White paper and stamped 'adorable' - cause he is!!

A: to execute a script in powershell, create the script in notepad++ save as .ps1 (powershell).
save to desktop.
open powershell as admin, drag the file from desktop and drop the file into the shell and hit enter. It should run fine!
edit
Please make sure you follow these steps!
1) run  sharepoint 2010 managment shell as admin
2) run this code:  Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
3) create your ps1 from notepad++ as it contains the extention method .ps1 when you save the file rather than renaming the file from a text file!
4) save the file to desktop
5) drag the saved file and drop it into sharepoint 2010 managment shell, now hit enter... it should run your code within your file!
just try the above to see it work! dont do: Post-KJUninstall.ps1 -UninstallLogFilePath C:\LogFiles\Detail_La ndingPage.txt all you want to see is if its going to run your ps1 file first!
EDIT
now we know its not your powershell thats broken but the script!
look at your params:
Param($UninstallLogFilePath)

change to
Param([String]$UninstallLogFilePath="")

now in powershell do:
Post-KJUninstall.ps1 -UninstallLogFilePath "C:\LogFiles\Detail_LandingPage.txt"

Work has been said to provide us with both our daily bread and our daily purpose. Work consumes a large part of our waking hours; therefore, it is important that we evaluate from time to time how we spend this large portion of our lives.
In a survey conducted several years ago by the Wilson Learning Corporation, 1500 people were asked, "If you had enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life, would you continue to work?" More than two-thirds of respondents (70 percent) said they would continue to work, but 60 percent of those said they would change jobs and seek more satisfying work.These startling statistics point out that we must take the necessary steps now to ensure that our jobs are more meaningful and are in alignment with our personal mission and values. Our mission should be to identify the steps we can take to make our jobs more meaningful right now.
Does this mean that we change jobs? Not necessarily, and especially in this tight economy and job market. The more likely prescription is to look closely at your current job and determine what steps can be taken to build more meaning and personal value into your current job.
Who are my customers? Who is affected by my competence and commitment?
What do my customers expect from me, both formally and informally?
What knowledge, skills, experience, talents, and attitudes do I bring to my company?
How closely do I work with other employees? Do we work as a team?
Begin to enjoy your own discovery process. With the next post we will follow up with some even higher-level questions aimed at helping to discover even deeper value and meaning in our lives, both personally and professionally.

Posted in AFA, AFC, American Freedom Agenda, American Freedom Campaign, democracy, fascism, HR 1955, police state, Ron Paul, Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Preventi, war on democracy on January 22, 2008 by jtoddring
What is HR 1955, and why should we be interested? Here is a short introduction. More than we may imagine rides on the peoples' response to this newest development in the war on democracy.
Passed by a Democratic-controlled House of Representatives with a vote of 404-6, October 23, 2007.
Freedom of speech, association and assembly will be illegal in the US once the Senate and President sign on – and neither oppose it.
With this law, dissent will be illegal.
The unmistakable import of this new law is the criminalization of dissent.
The FBI's infamous Counter-Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) stated clearly, in documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, that, "through counter-intelligence, it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble makers (sic) and neutralize them." J. Edgar Hoover said of his COINTELPRO operation that his intent was to "neutralize political dissidents." The FBI's COINTELPRO operated illegally. HR 1955 now makes legal the mechanisms for neutralizing dissent. Expressing an opinion or view that is not favourable to the current ruling powers may be met with repression. America is now officially a fascist state.
The bill is moving rapidly through Congress, and may be signed into law by February. Dissent and debate in the US House of Representatives was virtually non-existent. The media networks have been silent. Spread the news: the internet and face to face communication seem to be the only means to get this critical information out.
"Legislation such as this demands heavy-handed governmental action against American citizens where no crime has been committed," Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul stated to the House in December, after missing the vote while campaigning. "It is yet another attack on our constitutionally protected civil liberties. It is my sincere hope that we will reject such approaches to security, which will fail at their stated goal at a great cost to our way of life."
"It will no doubt prove to be another bureaucracy that artificially inflates problems so as to guarantee its future existence and funding," Paul predicted in his House speech. "But it may do so at great further expense to our civil liberties." It is, he concluded, an "unwise and dangerous solution in search of a real problem."
"If you understand what his bill does, it really sets the stage for further criminalization of protest," said Dennis Kucinich. "This is the way our democracy, little by little, is being stripped away from us."
"There is no way to overstate how crucial this piece of legislation is. We are at a turning point, and without the restoration of the rule of law the "blueprint" for what I have called a "fascist shift" — the closing down of democracy — calls for scarier recriminations against citizens, greater tightening of social controls — the ever-growing, disturbingly political TSA watch list is, alarmingly, due to go from the airlines' administration to that of the TSA itself — and more corruptions of the electoral process. Blackwater is a truly terrifying wild card. Without the rule of law we will be powerless as each of these assaults on liberty continue to escalate. With it we can fight back." – Naomi Wolf, author of The End of America, and American Fascism, in 10 easy steps.
"The most pressing liberty Ron Paul, the ACLU, Dennis Kucinich and pretty much most left- and right-leaning organizations fear outright is a restriction on the right of internet access, since the House Subcommittee hearings and text of the resolution seized upon it with almost draconian intent. "The Web as a Weapon?" The question begs another: How do you disarm that weapon?" – Punishing Thought Crime: Would New Bill Make YOU a Terrorist?by Scott Thill, AlterNet. January 17, 2008.
Look at the definition of terrorism in this bill. It is defined "the use, planned use or threatened use of force or violence by a group or individual to promote the group or individual's political, religious or social beliefs." Note that the bill states that terrorism may be the use of violence or force to advance political goals. The bill then specifies that the use of "intellectual force" by way of "compelling logical argument" falls under the definition of terrorism. This should make us all shudder. Thought crime. This is the destruction of democracy, civil rights, the constitution and freedom of speech.
It is important to remember that violence is already illegal, and therefore this bill is not about dealing with violence. Hence, this bill is about the use of non-violent "force" – the force of opinion, intellectual force, the force of a logical argument. In short, the bill is designed to combat free speech, and further, to suppress any form of protest, through association, assembly or expression. There is no other way to describe such legislation in any milder terms: this is fascism.
HR 1955 marks the beginning of the police state in America. When this bill is signed into law, dissent will be punishable by arrest without trial, and indefinite incarceration in the detention centers which Haliburton is busy constructing across the "homeland," not to mention torture, which the Military Commissions Act of 1996 already made legal. Speak now, while you can. (See Homeland Security Contracts for Vast New Detention Camps and YouTube – Olbermann: the beginning of the end of America.)
Write, speak, blog, send letters to your representatives, email the news outlets and let them know that this critical unfolding of events, designed deliberately to destroy democracy and constitutional rights and freedoms, including this latest and most heinous of fascist legislation.

People of America, here is a coalition, across right and left, that is working to defend freedom, democracy and your constitutional rights. You might want to get involved. The hour is late.

"This is the answer both to those who say "What we can do?" and to those who claim (actually, sometimes whine) "there is nothing we can do." And if we don't act on this now we will get the democracy we deserve — which is no democracy at all.
"Put aside your partisan ideal world — sometimes issues simply transcend partisanship — and if ever there is an issue that is above and separate from party politics, it is the restoration of the democratic system we inherited. There are good people and passionate patriots across the political spectrum.
"Let's do it. There is no excuse now. The restoration of democracy is up to you — as the Founders intended it should be." – Naomi Wolf

The compromise solution
A ten-year strategy costing millions of pounds to cut the "shameful" number of teenage pregnancies in Britain has failed to make any serious impact... Among plans to be announced today will be more access to long-acting contraception, such as implants and injections, and phone texts to remind girls to use contraceptives...But critics say far more needs to be done to deter young people from having sex, rather than providing them with ever more free condoms and access to the contraceptive pill.
- Ministers admit failure over cutting 'shameful' teenage pregnancies, The Times
They're both wrong. I suggest a third solution: educating children to abstain from sex at all times, while continuing to wear condoms. It's called compromise, people!

I got involved in a discussion the other day with a bunch of people basically saying that corporations were evil. That's not that surprising, of course - people say that corporations are evil all the time. It's pretty much the done thing to say that corporations are evil, and occasionally it's inevitable that I'll bump into those people in the midst of their saying that corporations are evil.
It's just that I can't take it seriously. At all.
It might be the fact that they're wearing shoes made by a corporation, or jumpers made by a corporation, or hats made by a corporation, or t-shirts with anti-corporate logos on them that are made by a corporation that specialises in anti-corporate logos. They might be carrying food that they've bought from a certain corporation, or drinking drinks that they've purchased from another corporation, or travelling from the location of one corporate outlet to the location of another corporate outlet by the means of a car (built by a corporation), bus (ditto), train (ditto, and run by yet another corporation, ditto), or any number of other dittos that take you from various dittos to various other dittos.
It might also be the fact that they probably have no idea what they're talking about. The term 'corporation' is so generic and loose that it could apply not only to the multinational business from which they got the dittos they were wearing, the dittos they were eating, the dittos they were travelling from and travelling to, the dittos they were travelling in, and the dittos they were dittoing in. It may, indeed, be true that the small business they got their shirts or drinks or food or tickets from was itself part of a larger business, and was therefore merely a corporation selling items from other corporations in order to further its own corporate interests. After all, one of the meanings of corporation could be 'group of people', which could include just about anyone and anything. Maybe, though, all these people had a specific economic and ideological definition in mind when they were talking about 'corporations', and I am ignorant as to their actual level of ignorance. (But I suspect they are just as ignorant as to their own level of ignorance, as well. Most people are. In the broadest terms, I am not only utterly ignorant, but ignorant as to my own level of ignorance, also. You can't get much ignoranter than that. In a world crowding over with infinite things, our own finite minds generally do dwindle to a something that is smaller than insignificance.)
It might have been any of these facts, or the fact that the very conversation that they have about horrible corporations invariably occurs in a context that is facilitated by horrible corporations, and that people who dislike corporations do so most regularly and vocally in mass market magazines forwarded by corporations, in globalised movies and DVDs spread around the world by corporations, on international websites owned by corporations, that are hosted by mass-produced computers bought from other corporations. (This particular conversation that I am thinking about occured courtesy of the facebook corporation).
And in the end, I'm not sure how people with such a Manichean worldview - ordinary folks versus the corporation - go about living their lives. It must be really quite scary, keeping one's mind perpetually on the all-pervasive influence of corporations, which are so all pervading and influential as to include anybody and everybody and everybody else also, as well as small business, large business, all manner of medium-size businesses in between, councils, governments, non-government organisations, and whatever else is left over, and a whole bunch of other stuff as well. If you concede that corporations are horrible and evil, what other conclusion could you logically draw to than an all-encompassing, general, and specific paranoia at the world around you? As you buy your corporate clothes and corporate drinks and corporate DVDs denouncing the influence of corporate corporations, and have your existence brutally perpetuated by corporate oxygen that was breathed out by other corporate bodies, you must be continually worrying about how terrifying it is to have corporations savagely provide you goods and services in exchange for small to medium amounts of money, and for them to in turn use that small to medium amount of money that you give over to them to pay their own staff and make a profit. I mean, now that I come to think about that, it really must be awful. That is, if you look at corporations that way.
Me, I can't really bring myself to be bothered about them. In a world with so many problems, I can't see what the problem is with corporations, especially.
I wonder if this is a problem?
UPDATE! - Let me make a small qualification to the above post. Corporations aren't evil, of course. But Evil Corporations are most definitely evil. It goes without saying, really (which is why I've said it.)
Plot devices that are a little too useful
If you're a child, or a smuggler, and you live in, or have something to do with a large mansion in the English countryside, then you wouldn't think it entirely out of the way to discover, say, a conveniently placed secret passageway behind the fireplace thus allowing you to carry out your heroic or nefarious plans.
But even then, you might think that this sort of thing is getting a bit ridiculous:
They heard him fumbling on the wall, and tapped again, to show him where they were. Suddenly, there came a click, and bright cold light and icy air rushed into their hiding place.
'I always wondered why that great knob was there on the wall,' James said. 'Well laws, miss! To think of your really finding the secret passage!'
Joan Aiken, The Wolves of Willoughby Chase
Unfestive
Every now and then, a small amount of people will go and sit on stage and a variable amount of people will go and sit on chairs and watch the first small amount of people sitting on chairs, talking to one another. This will happen for a period ranging from a couple of days to a couple of weeks, and it will usually be located in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, or somewhere else. The event will often begin with the name of the city in which it is occuring, and conclude with the word 'festival'.
There was a time when I used to love going to events where a small amount of people sat on chairs on stage, and I joined a larger amount of people watching the smaller amount of people sitting on chairs. That time was a Wednesday, I think, and it was at the TINA festival in 2003 or 2004. Then I discovered that the small amount of people sitting on chairs on stage very often had little to say for themselves, and the questions that they were answering were almost as bad. Usually, the answers could have been from one to five words long, but the people on stage often preferred not to answer the questions, but instead go on one hundred to five hundred word rants about something else. Sit a person down and ask them "how do you make money from art?" "Can art change the world?" "Should art make use of modern scientific discoveries?" and they would probably say things like "Get paid for it", "Yes", and "I don't care." Sit that person down in amongst a small group of other people, on a stage, with a larger group of people in front of them, and all of a sudden, they'd say something else entirely. Something probably longer, and definitely more boring.
The word 'festival' implies 'festivity', but there isn't much that is festive about a festival these days*. More like compulsive: it's rare to go to a festival event because you actually want to. More likely, you are going to the festival event because your partner wants to; or a friend wants to; or a friend is interested in a person participating in the event but not the event itself; or a friend is interested in another person who is interested in a person who is participating in the event, and wants the company; or a friend of a friend's friend who you are interested in has got free tickets to an event that doesn't sound particularly interesting; or you want to take your mother or your brother or your sister to an event in order to fill out the time while they are visiting you. Festivals operate more by social obligation than honest desire; more by compulsion more than actual interest.
Occasionally, a festival might even feature a celebrity speaker, and that celebrity speaker might draw large crowds, but the event itself will be wholly underwhelming. It will simply prove that celebrities are neither better or worse than other people at sitting down on chairs amongst small groups of people while larger groups of people look at them.
All in all, the experience of modern festivals makes you long for something more simple and primal. Maybe going and jumping up and down full of a stadium of shouty people while scantily clad shiny men kick symbolic objects through metaphorical phallic poles, for instance. Then again, maybe I'll just invent a festival of my own, where random parts of Melbourne will be required by law to go and sit in specific but unrelated locations in front of a small but disparate collection of people for small amounts of time (all to be determined by a game of 'Eeny, Meeny, Minie, Mo' and the telephone book.) It will be called 'The Melbourne Completely and Utterly Pointless and Nonsensical Statistically Insignificant Festival of Ordinariness.'
Come one, come all! I hear they're signing up one of the Daddos!
*By way of comparison, some fringe festival events are pretty festy.
Annoying bottom-faced rat-like mammal on the brink of extinction
BREAKINGNEWSBREAKINGNEWSBREAKINGNEWS
World struggles to care
An exceedingly annoying species is on the brink of extinction, and no-one really is too concerned about it, according to reports from the World Wide Foundation for Nature (WWFN).
The species, Scrofulous Flatulus Rattus, colloquially known as the Bum-Faced Rat, commonly habituates garbage dumps, slag heaps, and toxic waste piles, where it may be seen scurrying about looking ugly, and spreading various types of diseases.
"God, what a wretched little turd it is," says Professor Amelia Chen, of Blatherskyte University, reluctant expert in the life-cycle of the Bum-Faced Rat.
Studies performed by the WWFN find that approximately 80% of the world know nothing about the plight of the Bum-Faced Rat, and an even higher percentage - 97% - do not care. But it's not good enough, according to Dr Oswald Cavalini, of the WWFN: "We have to make even more people in the world care even less about the Bum-Faced Rat."
Over the following year, the WWFN plan to release a series of pamphlets with titles like Really Cute and Fluffy Creatures that are About to Die, and Examples of Majestic but Sadly Endangered Wildlife That You Should Feel Real Guilty About, in order to highlight the contrast between them and the Bum-Faced Rat.
Sadly, although the Bum-Faced Rat is on the verge of extinction, other horrendous creatures, including the Leprous Vole, the Exceedingly Pustulent Fungus, the Snaggle-Toothed Snag, and the Frankly Hideous Otter, continue to thrive.
The Bum-Faced Rat is on the verge of extinction, but other creatures remain tragically alive. What creature would you like to see become exctinct?(survey software)
UPDATE! - Boy, you people REALLY don't like pink bunnies. But then, you seem to be quite kindly and affectionate towards the leprous vole...

The more things stay the same, the more things stay the same
Some of my facebook friends have been joining this facebook group called 'Stop Medibank Private being put into private hands.' Which confuses me, because I kind of sort of thought that Medibank Private was in private hands. It's all there in the title, see - 'Medibank Private'. Privatising Medibank Private seems to me to be a process somewhat akin to, say, aquifying water, or gassifying air.
About two years ago, I do vaguely recall a radio discussion on this very possibility, that the (then) Howard Government could privatise Medibank Private. The explanation of the economic structure of the Medibank Private organisation, and its history, was sufficiently arcane, elaborate, and confusing that I started wishing for the explanation to be unexplained again. At the end of the discussion, I was actually sure of much less about the whole issue than I was before. It actually sounded like Medibank Private had been created(?)* private, but now the Howard Government was going to privatise it again? Or something?
Then again, in its own crazy way it made a lot of sense. Maybe by that stage the Libs had run out of things to privatise, so by then they decided to go on and re-privatise the things that were already private. So they could start off with Medibank Private, and carry on reprivatising public transport, Qantas, Telstra... As a corrollary, Labor could run campaigns against private assets being put into private hands, and instead argue for taking public assets out of public hands, and putting them in other public hands.
I was actually planning to do another political post tonight about how the MSM misrepresents Tony Abbott - no, really! it does! - but I couldn't be arsed. Night, all.
*Actually, please insert a (?) after every word in my elaborate non-explanation of the previous elaborate non-explanation.

I'm currently finishing up Ovid's long, unfinished poem, Fasti. It's about the feast days on the Roman calendar, but I'm struggling to call it anything other than Ovid's Festy.

Alcoholics with a poetry problem
I've seen it increasingly in the past few weeks, months, and years. And I have to admit that the problem is, if anything, getting worse. Yes, alcoholics with a poetry problem are seen all over the city, infesting our cafes, bars, and pubs, committing blatant acts of verbalism at tables, on stage, in front of microphones.
Many people in Melbourne will be asking, how has it come to this? How have we let our once-carefree alcoholics turn to these terrible, soul-destroying acts of poeticalness?
I suppose it must have all happened so gradually. An open-mic night here, a night that was supposed to be spent getting wasted on a bucket of ouzo instead turning into a ribald joke-telling session. Before these people knew it, they must have found themselves slurring metaphors and alliteration out in front of an appreciative audience. Sometimes these once-proud alcoholics don't even drink alcohol!
Yes, I know the temptation is always there to read a poem or two, to indulge in a spot of wordplay. But is it worth it, really? The momentary linguistic thrill you get from the pleasing combination of words, the felicitous use of adjectives, the charming and elegant way the poems are structured? Couldn't we be better spending our time drinking booze?
Perhaps it is time for concerted action from the state government: a crackdown from law and order on all practitioners of poetry, higher regulation, limiting the amount of rhymes that can be said in any one venue at any one time - that sort of thing.
I'm toddling off this afternoon to the Dan O'Connell Hotel, and I'm going to steadfastly refuse to indulge in any acts of poetry. Nope. Not one bit... Perhaps you could come, too, and contribute to Melbourne's thriving alcoholic culture. Perhaps I can help to dissuade other alcoholics from indulging in their poetry habit. For just one afternoon. Baby steps, and all that.
The spirit of rock
People who went on the train to the ACDC concert at the Docklands: right on! There were so many of you that you actually seem to have knocked out all the power in the North Melbourne Station for a good ten minutes. Rock'n'roll, dudes!
(I will continue to maintain this theory right until, and after, I am told otherwise.)
It is absolutely essential to eat greasy takeaway meals at your desk at work, without napkins, and with only a small plastic fork. But only if you've put on a clean white shirt.

Well, that's all fine and dandy, but if it was announced that Barack Obama's teleprompter had been writing messages on its hand for its mother, would it get so much mass media attention? Hmmmn?
Getting up close with nature
Or, a song for the open road
Splutter by,
Splutter on my windscreen;
Your stomach and
Your antennae
Slide in a pulpy greenish sheen,
Past my wipers
And my sill
Past the roaches, mozzies, flies,
Into my engine
Through the grill -
And there at last you lie.
Why did you die,
O butterfly,
Were you brave or crazy?
You could have let
My car pass by
But you went kamikaze,
And then into
My lane you flew;
Your fate, beyond prevention -
Just one more in-
-sect victim of
Vehicular momentum.
Domestic tableau
I have spent this morning bustling around the Baronial mansions putting things up and putting them down in other places, wiping grime off things and then wiping it back on again, and twirling the broom around in an effort to hypnotise the cats. Currently, I am building up quite a nice pile of dust in the living room, which is being supervised by Beatrice. When the pile of dust is suitably piley, and suitably located in one spot instead of all over the house, I will go to fetch the dustpan, whereupon Bea will pounce upon the pile, scattering it all over the house again. This is the order of things.
Interestingly, while I was sweeping stuff away from one of those dicky little corners that form between the bookshelf, the table, and the bench, I found a little unopened jar that had been hiding in a far corner of this far corner. It was saffron. I'm not quite sure how to take this: as a reward for my labours, perhaps? Maybe if I continue bustling around the house in this manner with broom and brush and dustpan, I will keep on finding more and more jars of unopened saffron, and I can think of them as prizes. Then again, I might start feeling guilty for having lost so much saffron.
Next time we lose saffron, however, I think we should let the jars break. It increases the sense of drama, and makes the floor taste so much nicer and more exotic, don't you think? I'll make a note of this and let the Baron know.
Bar humbugs
The Baron and I were out last night drinking with the esteemed colleagues. Drinking with the esteemed colleagues for some hours, in fact. At some point, I distinctly remember rambling on at length, for no particular reason, about spurtles. Not only that, but I didn't even have the decency to swear, or shout, or break a chair over one of my esteemed colleagues heads.
Just what kind of monster am I?

Dirck Jacobsz. (1496, Amsterdam – 1567, Amsterdam) byl holandský renesanční malíř. Přesné místo jeho narození není známo, ale narodil se někde poblíž Amsterdamu v rodině malířů. Malířské technice ho učil jeho otec Jacob Cornelisz. van Oostsanen. Jacobsz byl hluboce ovlivněn manýristickým stylem jiného amsterodamského malíře Jana van Scorela. Jeho obraz, The Crossbowmen (1529), byl považován za jeho nejdůležitější dílo a byl to první portrét milice v holandské historii. V roce 1550 se oženil s Marritgen Gerritsdr. Měli spolu dvě děti, Maria Dircksdr. a Jacob Dircksz. Jacob se později stal také malířem. Namaloval dva skupinové portréty holandské civilní gardy, které jsou nyní v Ermitáži v Petrohradu.

Quick breakfast and let's go. We still didn't know if it will be possible to climb our goal – Grand Capucin. Because the wind and weather forecast wasn't the best, we decided to change our plans a little bit and instead of the Bonatti's route we decided for the shorter Swiss route (TD+, 6b A0, 300m).
Head lamps on and we started walking in freezing cold night, starry sky and kinda strong wind still. When we got closer the wall, wind wasn't so breezy anymore and we decided to go there and give a try.
In the wall the temperatures were low and we were waiting for the sun for a long time. Respect for guys (Asper, Bron, Grossi, Morel) which in 1956 went with courage for this wall. For sure they were inspired by Bonatti, which in 1951 found this perfect piece of granite interesting and made there the first beatiful and strenuous line.
Our ascent was much faster than firstascentist's for sure, but with modern equipment it is not surprising at all. After few metres in crampons we left our ice stuff on the ledge and continued just in boots next two or three pitches, then we start climbing just in climbing shoes and after 4 hours we reached the summit of Grand Capucin.
We liked the most the third and seven pitch which are really nice thin cracks and it was a pleasure to climb them.
So after we enjoyed the summit view and took some photos, we started the abseiling quickly because the wind was getting stronger.
All the best moments and feelings from last stage in Chamonix put in one video 🙂 Huge thanks to Bojan for the gopro footage.
In the midst of solitude and dryness the dreams will make you travel to the wonderful world of TMAc: stage 3-icy dreams in Cogne, Italy. Each stage is a new challenge full of learnings.
If we could show the dreams, would not be necessary words. If we could show the dreams no one could deny them. If we could show the dreams… we could make them come true.

Q: STDOUT and STDERR to SAME file and STDERR to ANOTHER [checklist] UPDATE
Thanks a lot for the answers and comments.
Thanks to @Fravadona for the help I managed to copy it and change a few things.
This is the actual code:
{ exec 0>&9; } 1> /dev/null 2>&1 || exec 9> /dev/tty

checklist() {

    (( $# >= 1 )) || return 1

    {
      printf '%s' "$2"
      #(( $# > 1 )) #&& printf ' %q' "${@:2}" I think I don't need this line
      printf '...\n'
    } >&9

    if "$1"; then
      printf '%s\n' "$3" >&9
    else
      printf '%s\n' "$4" >&9
    fi
 }

checklist "ping -c 3 google.es" "Trying to ping google" "Ping is successfull!" "Error trying to ping google!"
checklist lsblk "Trying to list disks" "The command ended succesfully!" "Error trying to list disks!"

The first argument is the actual command, the 2nd is the string I want to show while the command is running, the 3rd is when the command ends successfully and the 4th is when there's some error.
The output I'm getting is:
Trying to ping google...
Error trying to ping google!
Trying to list disks...
The command ended succesfully!

The lsblk command is working because there's only 1 word but the ping command doesn't work because it has more words. How can I do it? I've tried with single quotes, backward apostrophe, brackets... I think I'm missing something.
The logs are working fine.
Thank you for your help!
ORIGINAL
I'm doing an script in bash and I want to redirect the stderr and stdout to a single file (output.log) and the stderr to another one (error.log). In the terminal, it has to show only the echo commands I want from the script.
I just want to make like a checklist. Redirect stdout and stderr from the commands to a file and stderr to diferent file. Once you have this, the only thing left is checking if the command is successful or not. This is easy just checking the stderr file.
I did something similar to what I want but I have to execute the script like this:
{ . script.sh 2>&1 1>&3 | tee error.log; } > output.log 3>&1

But in each command that I want to show in the terminal, I have to add:
| tee -a /dev/tty

A minor problem with this method is that tput civis and tput cnorm to hide and show the cursor is not working
It would be nice if I can execute the script like this, but this is not required as long as tput works:
. script.sh

I'm showing an example with ping command and another one to show you what I want:
echo "Trying ping..." | tee -a /dev/tty # Show to terminal
if ! ping -c 3 google.es; then # Check if the ping is successful or not, redirecting all outputs to files
  echo "Error trying to ping" | tee -a /dev/tty # Show to terminal
else
  echo "Ping finished successfully!" | tee -a /dev/tty # Show to terminal
fi

echo "Trying {cmd}..." | tee -a /dev/tty # Show to terminal
if ! {cmd2}; then # Check if the {cmd2} is successful or not, redirecting all outputs to files
  echo "Error trying to {cmd2}..." | tee -a /dev/tty # Show to terminal
else
  echo "{cmd2} finished successfully!" | tee -a /dev/tty # Show to terminal
fi
.
.
.
.

The output would be and I want is:
Trying ping...
Ping finished successfully!
Trying {cmd2}...
Error trying to {cmd2}!
.
.
.
.

If there's another way to make that checklist I am all ears.
Thank you for your time :)
PS: I will do functions to refactor the code, don't worry about that. For example a function to check if the command is successful or not.

A: UPDATE
If you could refactor script.sh like this:
#!/bin/bash

{ exec 0>&9; } 1> /dev/null 2>&1 || exec 9> /dev/tty

checklist() {

    (( $# >= 1 )) || return 1

    {
        printf 'Trying `%q' "$1"
        (( $# > 1 )) && printf ' %q' "${@:2}"
        printf '`...\n'
    } >&9

    if "$@"
    then
        printf '%s finished successfully!\n' "$1" >&9
    else
        printf 'Error with %s\n' "$1" >&9
    fi
 }

checklist ping -c 3 google.es
checklist {cmd2}

Then, when you run it without sourcing:
{ ./script.sh 2>&1 1>&3 | tee error.log; } > output.log 3>&1

On the terminal you'll get:
Trying `ping -c 3 google.es`...
ping finished successfully!
Trying `\{cmd2\}`...
Error with {cmd2}

In error.log you'll have:
./script.sh: line 15: {cmd2}: command not found

In output.log there'll be:
PING google.es (142.250.75.227): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 142.250.75.227: icmp_seq=0 ttl=115 time=1.743 ms
64 bytes from 142.250.75.227: icmp_seq=1 ttl=115 time=1.893 ms
64 bytes from 142.250.75.227: icmp_seq=2 ttl=115 time=1.569 ms

--- google.es ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.569/1.735/1.893/0.132 ms
./script.sh: line 15: {cmd2}: command not found

OLD ANSWER
A standard way would be:
 { . script.sh 2>&1 1>&3 | tee error.log; } > output.log 3>&1

To understand it you need to know that the "redirections" of a command are executed from right to left.
Let's consider what happens with cmd 2>&1 1>&3.

*

*The content of 1 is "moved" to 3.

*The content 2 is "moved" to 1.

*As there is no more redirections for cmd, the contents of 1, 2 (empty) and 3 are then "consumed" by the rest of the script.
Now, what would happen if we change the order of the redirections with cmd 1>&3 2>&1?

*

*The content of 2 is "moved" to 1

*The content of 1 (which also contains a copy of 2) is then "moved" to 3.

*As there is no more redirections for cmd, the contents of the file descriptors 1 (empty), 2 (empty) and 3 are then "consumed" by the rest of the script.

A: This should do what you want:
. script.sh > >( tee output.log ) 2> >( tee error.log )

This uses process substitutions to write the output of the command to two instances of tee.
The first substitution writes stdout to output.log and copies it to the existing stdout (likely your terminal). The second substitution copies stderr to both error.log and stdout, which goes to the first tee that writes it to the output file and the terminal.

A: I think this will do what you want.
$: { ls -ld . bogus 2> >( tee err.log ) ;} >all.log
$: grep . ???.log
all.log:drwxr-xr-x 1 paul 1049089 0 Jan  9 11:45 .
all.log:ls: cannot access 'bogus': No such file or directory
err.log:ls: cannot access 'bogus': No such file or directory

or to show the results as you go,
$: { ls -ld . bogus 2> >( tee err.log ) ;} | tee all.log
drwxr-xr-x 1 paul 1049089 0 Jan  9 12:01 .
ls: cannot access 'bogus': No such file or directory
$: grep . ???.log
all.log:drwxr-xr-x 1 paul 1049089 0 Jan  9 12:01 .
all.log:ls: cannot access 'bogus': No such file or directory
err.log:ls: cannot access 'bogus': No such file or directory

It's also possible to do this inside your script, though it starts getting messy...
$: cat tst
#!/bin/bash
{ { # double-group all I/O
    ls -ld . bogus
} 2> >( tee err.log ) ;} | tee all.log # split by grouping

$: ./tst
ls: cannot access 'bogus': No such file or directory
drwxr-xr-x 1 paul 1049089 0 Jan  9 12:09 .

$: grep . ???.log
all.log:ls: cannot access 'bogus': No such file or directory
all.log:drwxr-xr-x 1 paul 1049089 0 Jan  9 12:09 .
err.log:ls: cannot access 'bogus': No such file or directory

You could also do something like -
#!/bin/bash
exec > >(tee all.log)
{ # group all I/O
  ls -ld . bogus
} 2> >( tee err.log )

though at that point I think the collation of stdout (which is buffered) and stderr (which is generally not) will decouple. Logs with errors out of sync can be nightnarish to debug...
addendum

how can I select to show the commands I want?

I usually use a function.
show() { echo "$@" | tee -a /dev/tty; }

This will still send a copy through STDOUT to the global logging, but will fork a copy to the terminal as well.
ls -ld . bogus # . listing to stdout, "bogus: not found" to stderr
show this goes to terminal # also stdout's log...

If you need to make it able to accept input on stdin instead of args -
show() {
  if (($#))
  then echo "$@"
  else cat
  fi | tee -a /dev/tty
}

$: show this to tty >x.log
this to tty

$: cat x.log
this to tty

$: ls -ld . bogus | show >x.log # doesn't catch stderr
ls: cannot access 'bogus': No such file or directory
drwxr-xr-x 1 paul 1049089 0 Jan 10 14:04 .

$: cat x.log
drwxr-xr-x 1 paul 1049089 0 Jan 10 14:04 .

Then yes, you have to explicitly use show instead of echo` for things you DEFINITELY want on your console, but you have options. It will still work with the above code though.
wrapping up -
if what you want is ONLY things you specify going to the console, try something like this -
$: cat tst
#! /bin/bash
exec 1> all.log          # all stdout to all.log
exec 2> >( tee err.log ) # stderr->err.log, tee'd to stdout->all.log
show() { if (($#)); then echo "$@"; else cat; fi | tee -a /dev/tty; }
# now just write your code, and use the show function for console output
ls -ld . bogus
show logged AND to screen.

$: ./tst
logged AND to screen.

$: cat err.log
ls: cannot access 'bogus': No such file or directory

$: cat all.log
ls: cannot access 'bogus': No such file or directory
drwxr-xr-x 1 paul 1049089 0 Jan 10 14:15 .
logged AND to screen.


Nice to see the coaching staff remembered they drafted Goedert.
Redskins up 14-3 on Green Bay too. Seems like the Redskins always have the Packers number at FedEx Field.
This team just destroys itself from within with penalties.
Jordan Matthews getting a nice ovation.
Wentz had all day to throw it on the 34-yard completion to Smallwood.
A tweet from 2016: Jordan Matthews catch followed by Wendell Smallwood catch. ...Smallwood is making plays today. Eagles not relying only on Clement.
Jake Elliott is good from 33 yards. Eagles take a 10-7 lead.
Wentz forces pass to Ertz, nearly INT at goal line. Dumb. 33 FG #Eagles 10, #Colts 7.
Wentz 12 of 18 for 154 yards with 3:05 left in the first half.
Only 19 of the Eagles' 154 passing yards are to WRs -- 14 on Matthews' 1 catch, 5 on the 1 Agholor catch.
Jalen Mills is back in the game.
Jalen Mills is back. On the field for #Eagles kickoff.
Colts clearly prefer touchbacks and getting it at 25 to returns. They took touchback on that last KO by Elliott even though it was just one-yard deep.
Smallwood probably has a TD if he maintained his balance there.
Hold your breath, an Elliott FG try coming.
Don't like the run on 2nd and goal there.
Smallwood's stumble on the catch saved the Colts four points there.
And I'm not pinning that on Smallwood. The Colts just got fortunate there.
5 yard line, rain, please pound the rock on first down, you can't go backwards at that point, no more 55 yard field goals in the rain! Let's go coach!
Excellent play by Mills there.
Eagles dominating the stats, Wentz playing good, but bad decision to kick a FG and giving Colts short field is keeping the game close.
Sack backs the Colts up...but the defense can't lay an egg on third down here.
Eagles now with 7 penalties for 78 yards after the false start on Peters.

All of the things you love about Peruvian cuisine—ceviche, tiraditos, anticuchos—are just what you'll find on the menu at Coya's first U.S. outpost in Brickell. There's also a dedicated Pisco Bar with more than 20 varieties of the Peruvian spirit, which bodes well for an area known for its happy-hour crowds.
This place is gorgeous! There's gold leaf on the walls and velvet furniture and lots of reclaimed wood everywhere. Unlike most beautiful restaurants where what you see is better than what you eat, Coya's food does not disappoint. The lomo saltado and chaufa-style quinoa were two of my favorites, partly because neither dish was as heavy as I'm used to experiencing with Peruvian food.

About UsMeet Our TeamOur Staff
The staff at The Cat Doctor consists of dedicated professionals who love cats and have a special interest in cats and feline medicine.
Kirstienne Fernandez
Kirstienne comes from a big family-which has had its fair share of other species besides humans. Growing up she was surrounded by a dog, cats, parakeets, turtles, hermit crabs, hamsters, and goldfish. Her heart currently belongs to one cat, Radio. She's in school at the SRJC to become a Registered Veterinary Technician with the dreams of specializing in emergency medicine and a recent interest in anesthesia. Her hobbies include playing the drums and ukulele, trying to cook what she sees on the Food Network, road trips, and hiking. Her favorite animal is the penguin.
Crissie Twombly
Crissie began her love of cats early, starting to bring stray cats and kittens home as soon as she could walk. She started out her career in veterinary medicine working at the Healdsburg Animal Shelter until starting work at The Cat Doctor in 2002. She received her Veterinary Technician license through the SRJC in 2011 and her national license in 2013. Crissie shares her home with her three spoiled cats Bug, Missy Miss Pants, and Villain. Her interests include anything cat, reading, and origami, and her ultimate goal is to move to East Africa and work with big cats.


"Wally, I think that pilots at almost all levels seem to always be carrying extra speed on final, and they use the excuse that it's a wider safety margin. How would you address that subject?"
"Well Bob, I feel it's important to land on speed, on spot. And if you're making the approach at the improper airspeed, you're not going to land where you think you will land. It's important to pick the appropriate speed for the approach given the weather and the wind and the conditions you have for the day. To arbitrarily add additional speed does not enhance safety - it merely results in a longer landing.
We should touch down as slow as possible because we then have dissipated as much energy as we can. We eliminate the bounces; we eliminate the hard braking and the wear and tear on our airplane that a fast landing causes. We also want to keep the nose wheel light if we can. Again, not banging it on the runway to scare our passengers saves wear and tear on the nose wheel and it also helps provide aerodynamic braking."
"Obviously many of our General Aviation airports will accommodate us landing well down the runway, and we can consider that a safe landing. But at any time in our flying career we may be literally called upon to put an airplane down on speed, on spot due to a short field environment, an obstacle or worse yet, an engine failure. So we're talking about discipline and establishing a way of doing it all the time as opposed to taking the easy way out."
"You make a great point, Bob. If we practice on speed, on spot all the time it will become our habit and we'll be confident that we can do it on the day we need it. If we haven't practiced it in a long time, we probably won't do it very well and that may be a day when we really need to do it."
