The problem I was having was that I had a search field which showed up when I was logged in as admin, but not when I hit the site anonymously (as an aside, one of the benefits of using multiple browsers is that you can save admin user/pass on one, and keep another for testing). I looked through both the tpl files and the database and didn't see any reason why this should be happening.

The more family oriented comedies I watch, the more I see an overarching theme.   The lead man works too much, and because he doesn't have work-life balance, he's missing out in the important things in life -- his family.    Either he's a dad, in which case he's neglecting his kids (e.g. "Liar Liar" and "Elf"), or he's a middle-aged bachelor, in which case he's missed out on building a family (e.g. "The Kid") or there's some mystical convergence where he gets to see both options (e.g.

Had a great time. I've been to a fair number of cons, but this is my first "camp". I liked the intimacy of it. We took up just four conference rooms, and there were a few hundred people attending, rather than the thousands you get swarming convention centers at the shindigs that I'm used to. But it was still attended by some fairly heavy hitters and the sessions were very enlightening. I highly recommend Drupalcamp Chicago to anyone who might be thinking of attending next year, and more broadly I recommend camps, maybe even over cons. They are certainly more affordable.

I found this very useful forum post on setting up subversion on Bluehost: http://www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?t=12099 But, I wasn't able to get it to work either with the original version numbers and dependencies, or with the most up to date. After a little monkeying about, here are the commands which worked for me. Of course, YMMV.

Here's how my actionable rating system works for books: 5 stars means: I recommend owning this book as part of your permanent library.

Here's how my actionable rating system works for music: 5 stars means: I recommend going to the live concert. (Note that going to a live concert is more hard core than going to a movie.) 4 stars means: I recommend buying the CD.

I live in Chicago. My wife works in the zip code 60606, and my son goes to school in 60660. It's got me to wondering... how many places in the US have Satanic zip codes? Here are all the zip codes with 3 sixes and 2 zeroes, and where they are. 00666 -- nowhere 06606 -- Bridgeport, CT 06660 -- nowhere 60066 -- nowhere 60606 -- Chicago, IL 60660 -- Chicago, IL 66006 -- Baldwin City, KS 66060 -- Nortonville, KS 66600 -- nowhere

Ever since I was a small kid, I've been accused by people who know me well of being morbid. I often consider my own death, think about the people I will leave behind and what I will leave unfinished. I think it's an outgrowth of my general disposition toward planning for the worst, but it may also have to do with having more than one, completely unrelated serious illness when I was seven years old. Whatever the cause, my morbid fascination was a leg up in high school when I started reading Eastern philosophy.

In my quest for a rating system which is less arbitrary than the usual 4- or 5-star system, my friends and I first came up with the Speed rating system.   But that proved even more problematic.   So, back to the drawing board, I thought that a system based on the actions that I actually recommend would be more grounded.   Even if there is a skew in this system, I can at least justify it. Here's how it works with movies: 5 stars mea
