Q: Uploading in Codeigniter - The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed I am getting the error: The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed when I try to uplaod any file.
if(!empty($_FILES['proof_of_purchase']['name'])) {
    $config['upload_path'] = './uploads/invoices/';
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png|pdf|bmp';
    $config['max_size'] = '3000';
    $this->load->library('upload', $config);

      // if there was an error, return and display it
    if (!$this->upload->do_upload('proof_of_purchase'))
    {
        $data['error'] = $this->upload->display_errors();
        $data['include'] = 'pages/classic-register';
    } else {
        $data['upload_data'] = $this->upload->data();
        $filename = $data['upload_data']['file_name'];
    }
}

I have tried many different files- mostly gif & jpeg and get the same error each time.
var_dump($_FILES); gives me:
array(1) { ["proof_of_purchase"]=> array(5) { ["name"]=> string(28) "2010-12-04_00019.jpg" ["type"]=> string(10) "image/jpeg" ["tmp_name"]=> string(19) "D:\temp\php2BAE.tmp" ["error"]=> int(0) ["size"]=> int(58054) } }

I have checked the mime config and it contains the right stuff. Example:
'jpeg'  =>  array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg'),
'jpg'   =>  array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg'),
'jpe'   =>  array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg'),

A: I've had these same problems with CI and haven't been able to find a fix on the forums or via google. What I've done is to allow all filetypes, so that the file gets uploaded. Then, I handle the logic manually to determine whether to allow/keep the file, or delete it and tell the user that filetype is not allowed.
$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/invoices/';
$config['allowed_types'] = '*'; // add the asterisk instead of extensions
$config['max_size'] = '3000';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);

if (!$this->upload->do_upload('proof_of_purchase'))
{
    $data['error'] = $this->upload->display_errors();
    $data['include'] = 'pages/classic-register';
} else {
    $data['upload_data'] = $this->upload->data();
    // use custom function to determine if filetype is allowed
    if (allow_file_type($data['upload_data']['file_ext']))
    {
        $filename = $data['upload_data']['file_name'];
    }
    else
    {
        show_error('File type is not allowed!');
    }
}

EDIT - This is assuming you're using CI 2 (in CI 1 you can follow the tutorial here to allow all filetypes: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/6-codeigniter-hacks-for-the-masters/)

A: What I did was create my own Library "MY_Upload" to extend the CI_Upload Class, then I just copied the CI_Upload class and applied the changes outlined by Adam (thanks a bunch BTW for the solution) in my custom library.
This allows me to use the standard CI syntax, and avoid hacking the original files! My library is automatically used because it simply "extends" the original, it's a completely painless solution and won't break if for some reason you have to replace the original files.
PS: I do this with the Logging class also for when I want to generate custom logs.

A: If you're using Codeigniter version 2.1.0 there is a bug in the Upload library. See http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/204725/ for more details.
Basically what I did was modify a few lines of code in the File Upload Class (Location: ./system/libraries/Upload.php)
1) modify Line number 1044
from:
$this->file_type = @mime_content_type($file['tmp_name']);
return;

to this:
$this->file_type = @mime_content_type($file['tmp_name']);
if (strlen($this->file_type) > 0) return;

2) modify line number 1058
from:
@exec('file --brief --mime-type ' . escapeshellarg($file['tmp_path']), $output, $return_code);

to this:
@exec('file --brief --mime-type ' . escapeshellarg($file['tmp_name']), $output, $return_code);

As you can probably see, line 1058 tries to use an array value that does not exist.

A: I had the same issue. You may need to check if the application recognizes the mimetype of the file that is being uploaded. Adding a new mimetype to config/mimes.php fixed the issue. :-)

A: This is for Codeigniter version 2.2. If this question is still relevant. I traced the fault in file system/libraries/upload.php file to  function: protected function _file_mime_type($file) at line 1032 and line 1046: $this->file_type = $matches[1];
When I was uploading a file with extension .txt the statement at line 1046 seems to assign an incorrect value of 'text/x-asm' to $this->file_type which is later compared to 'text/plain' and since mime types do not match the test fails and signals an inappropriate file type and error message:

'The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed'

Solution, not sure, but quick fix that appears to work, change condition of line 1032 to NOT so that it reads: if (!function_exists('finfo_file')) instead of: if (function_exists('finfo_file')). Hope this can help someone.

A: 1) Allow all filetypes.
2) Manually set validation rule with traditional php to accept or reject file types.
3) if validation rules are obeyed, then upload using CI upload helper.
if (isset($_FILES['upload_file']) && !empty($_FILES['upload_file'] ['name'])) {
        $file_name=$_FILES['upload_file'] ['name'];
        $acceptedext=array("zip","pdf","png","jpg","jpeg");
        $a=(explode('.', $file_name));
        $b=end($a);
        $file_ext=strtolower($b);

        if (!in_array($file_ext, $acceptedext)) {
            $this->session->set_flashdata( 'flash_message_error', "file format not accepted!" );
            redirect( base_url( 'page' ) );
        }
        else{
            $config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
            $config['allowed_types'] = '*';

            $this->load->library('upload');
            $this->upload->initialize($config);

            if (!$this->upload->do_upload('upload_file')) {

                $error = $this->upload->display_errors('', ' ');
                $this->session->set_flashdata( 'flash_message_error', $error );
                redirect( base_url( 'page' ) );
            } } }

A: The solution is replace the Upload.php in the system/libraries/ by Upload.php of CodeIgniter v2.0.3

A: This problem is caused by not having the PHP FileInfo extension. The function the upload class uses is part of that extension.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.fileinfo.php

A: If you don't want to change system files. Just try this:

*

*Open system/libraries/Upload.php(method do_upload() line 205) and do this
var_dump($this->file_type);
exit();

*Try to upload some file.

*Add file type, which you see in var_dump() to application/config/mimes.php.
Little example: you have problem with .docx. Try to add:
'docx' => array('application/zip', 'application/msword', 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document')

To application/config/mimes.php.

A: The same problem I had with, when I was trying to do an Upload form to upload,
".xlsx" files, which in CodeIgniter's mimes.php file has an entry in it's array, to represent "xlsx" file extensions.
So here in the following link, I have described what it really takes to get through this problem and figure out the solution!

A: It's probably worth checking that you have the latest version of the application/config/mimes.php as instead of setting a variable $mimes it now simply returns an array.
new mimes.php
return array
old mimes.php
$mimes = array
If you still have the old version of mimes.php the Common.php function &get_mimes() returns an empty array.
This has the knockon effect of breaking Upload.php
Once I traced this, all was working fine :)


LifeSource Vitamins - MSM 2,000 mg - May replace expensive drugs/nutrients to treat arthritis, gastric hyperacidity, allergies, Helps remove excess mercury from the body, maintains health of skin, hair, nails.
Read Below: Full Description, Clinical Studies & Research on MSM.
MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane) is a natural form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms. This natural compound, researched since 1979, provides the chemical links needed to form and maintain numerous different types of tissues found in the human body, including connective tissue such as articular cartilage. While MSM is a natural component of almost all fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat, food-processing methods reduce sulfur levels, making supplementation more important than ever. LifeSource's MSM is tested to meet a minimum 99.7% purity.
Methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM) is a naturally occurring sulfur compound found in our bodies as well as in many common beverages and foods, including milk, coffee, tea and green vegetables. In its purified chemical form, it is an odorless, essentially tasteless, white, water-soluble crystalline solid. It is one of the safest substances in biology, similar in toxicity to water.
• MSM contains 34% elemental sulfur, by weight.
• MSM is a non-animal-based nutritional supplement and is an all-natural source of MSM.
Naturally-occurring sulfur, such as that found in MSM, is not similar to inorganic sulfides, sulfites and sulfates to which many people are allergic. In other words, people who are allergic to sulfa drugs will not normally react to MSM or dietary sulfur.
Every LifeSource Vitamins product exceeds the standards and requirements set forth in the FDA's Code of Federal Regulation (21 CFR, 111) Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP).
Proudly Made in the USA, with ALL USA Ingredients!
Due to its positive effects maintaining healthy cell formation, 2000 mg to 6000 mg of supplemental MSM daily is recommended. Of course, the optimum daily dosage of MSM depends largely on body size, age and the nature and severity of any deficiency symptoms you may be experiencing. Since vitamin C provides a positive synergistic it should be taken along with MSM.
MSM ranks in the "extremely low" toxicity category with a toxicity profile similar to that of water. When oral supplements are taken, the body will distribute MSM where it is needed. After about 12 hours, any excess amounts will be flushed out of the body. MSM is a member of the sulfur family, should never be confused with sulfa drugs to which some people are allergic.
MSM should be supplemented with vitamin C to aid the production of connective tissue (elastin and collagen).
Seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR), a common clinical expression of an atopic reaction (genetic predisposition) to inhaled allergens, affects more than 23 million Americans annually. These allergic reactions can range from mild daily symptoms to debilitating headaches, severe nasal congestion that may lead to sinus infection and difficulties breathing.
Current prescription and over-the-counter medications act mainly by inhibiting histamine, the primary inflammatory mediator in allergic reactions. Unfortunately, patients taking these medications experience symptoms that include sedation, dizziness, rings in the ears, fatigue, insomnia, tremors, nausea, constipation, and diarrhea.1 The cornucopia of side effects has spawned a search for alternative therapies that will give similar results without the side effects. One such supplement showing promise is methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).
Researchers had 50 subjects consume 2600 mg of MSM orally per day for 30 days. The subjects were evaluated using a Seasonal Allergy Symptom Questionnaire (SASQ) at 0, 7, 14, 21, and 30 days. Researchers also measured C-reactive protein and immunoglobulin at the beginning and end of the study.
Results were observed as early as day 7, where upper and total respiratory symptoms were reduced significantly when compared with the beginning of the study. By week 2, energy levels had "increased significantly." By week 3, lower respiratory symptoms were significantly improved. Even more encouraging was that all improvements observed in the subjects were maintained.
Healthnotes Newswire (February 2, 2006)—Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), a naturally occurring sulfur-containing compound, may help decrease joint pain and improve physical functioning in people with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, reports Osteoarthritis and Cartilage (2005 Nov 22 [E-pub ahead of print]).
OA is a chronic, degenerative disease of the cartilage that lines and cushions the joints. It is more common in people over age 45. Although any joint may be affected, OA most frequently develops in the hips, knees, spine, and feet. When OA affects the knee joint, the progressive loss of cartilage can be seen on an x-ray as a narrowed space between the bones that surround the joint. Bits of damaged cartilage may also break off and enter the joint space, limiting motion and causing considerable pain. Risk factors for OA development include having a family history of the disease, being overweight, and overusing or having a previous injury of a joint.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil) may be used to decrease the pain associated with OA. Sometimes corticosteroid injections are given directly into the joint to decrease swelling. Unfortunately, these treatments do not slow the disease progression. In addition, corticosteroid injections may cause more thinning of the cartilage and damage the tendons surrounding the joint, and long-term use of NSAIDs increases the chance of developing gastric ulcers. For these reasons, safer alternatives to these medications are being sought.
MSM is a popular remedy for OA pain that is often found in supplements also containing glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate. A recent study found that glucosamine and chondroitin alleviate OA pain at least as well as the prescription medication Celebrex. Previous trials suggest that MSM may decrease inflammation and help repair connective tissue (such as cartilage), but there is little research on its usefulness for treating OA.
In the new study, 40 men and women between ages 40 and 76 with OA of the knee were given either 6 grams of MSM per day for 12 weeks or a placebo. The people rated their level of pain, stiffness, physical functioning (ability to get around and perform daily activities), and overall symptoms before the study and after 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. The people and their physicians also gave their overall impression of the state of their arthritis before and after the study and also rated their response to treatment. Blood and urine tests were performed to assess the safety of MSM and to investigate the possible ways it works in the body.
The level of pain decreased significantly and physical functioning improved after 12 weeks in the MSM group compared with the placebo group. Changes in stiffness and overall symptoms were similar in the two groups, and there were no differences between the groups in overall response to treatment.
MSM did not appear to raise blood pressure, nor did it adversely affect cholesterol levels, blood clotting, or measures of kidney, nervous-system, liver, or blood-cell health. Side effects were generally mild and were similar between the two groups.
The results of this investigation suggest that MSM may be a useful adjunct in the treatment of OA.
MSM has undergone numerous trials in the treatment of OA(11,12,13) and as a result, has become an extremely popular supplement for arthritic and rheumatic pain. In 2003 alone, the retail sales of MSM as a single ingredient were $115 million.14 Now a new study15 has found that MSM can help provide short-term pain relief for OA in the knee.
In the study, 50 men and women aged 40–76 years with knee OA pain took either MSM 3 g or placebo twice a day for 12 weeks (6 g per day total). To measure outcomes, researchers used the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index visual analogue scale (WOMAC), patient and physician global assessments (disease status, response to therapy), and SF-36 (overall health-related quality of life).
They found that compared to placebo, MSM produced "significant decreases" in WOMAC pain and physical function impairment with no notable changes in WOMAC stiffness and total symptoms scores. MSM also produced "improvement" in performing activities of daily living when compared to placebo on the SF-36 evaluation.
While concluding that "MSM (3 g twice a day) improved symptoms of pain and physical function during the short intervention without major adverse events," they admit that long-term effects on pain relief "could not be confirmed" but should be investigated.
Good news for people who suffer from muscle and joint pain, interstitial cystitis, scleroderma, or allergies: Methylsulfonyl-methane, or MSM, is a nutrient effective in alleviating the numerous debilitating symptoms caused by each of these ailments. MSM is an extraordinary new dietary supplement that is amazing users and researches alike because of its remarkable benefits. Completely natural, MSM has vitamin-like effects that promote normal growth and repair damaged mechanisms in the body.
MSM is extremely important to human beings because it provides a unique dietary source of sulfur that we must have in order to function. MSM is a special biological sulfur, 34% sulfur by weight, found in all plants, soils, fruits, vegetables, and meats. According to Dr. Stanley W. Jacobs, M.D., from the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, "MSM provides a good portion of the body's need for sulfur. Sulfur is an important building block." In fact, Dr. Jacob's comment might be an understatement. Sulfur, one of the most abundant minerals in the body, is a component of amino acids, vitamins, hormones, coenzymes, and antioxidants. Because sulfur is necessary to build "disulfide bonds", it forms part of the body's physical structure, including protein, collagen, glucosamine, skin, and nails.
One of the strongest effects of MSM is its ability to relieve muscle pain through the reduction of inflammation. People who suffer from sore joints or arthritis benefit greatly from MSM because many of the components of joints are made from collagen and glucosamine, which are both sulfur-dependent. People with arthritis report substantial and long-lasting relief while supplementing MSM in their diet in daily amounts ranging from 100 to 5,000 mg The beneficial effect is due in part to the ability of MSM to sustain cell flow-through, allowing harmful substances to flow out while permitting nutrients to flow in, and thereby preventing pressure buildup in cells that causes inflammation in the joints and elsewhere, and translates to pain. MSM, by equalizing cell pressure, treats the cause of inflammation, unlike an aspirin that would treat the symptom by shutting off the nerve.
The sulfuric content of MSM is also effective in combating various other health problems. The anti-inflammation effect of the nutrient relieves the painful bladder irritation of interstitial cystitis. MSM often works in easing the symptoms of scleroderma and allergies as well. MSM is an effective tool for preventing the everyday aches and pains common in people who suffer from arthritis and from symptoms that can become debilitating if left untreated. Jacobs calls it "... an important nutritional supplement. MSM is safe and useful." More ailments eased by MSM include gastro-intestinal problems, acid stomach, and lung problems.
Because it is needed to form crucial blood proteins and amino acids, the sulfur in MSM is essential to everyday living. Without proper levels of MSM, our bodies are unable to build good, healthy cells, making them prone to illness. When there is sufficient MSM in your system, your cells become more permeable, enabling your body to quickly flush out any undesirable foreign particles. If your body is sulfur deficient, the cell walls become hard and stiff, hindering the flow of fluid through the cell walls.
LifeSource Vitamins - MSM 1,000 mg - May replace expensive drugs/nutrients to treat arthritis, gastric hyperacidity, allergies, Helps remove excess mercury from the body, maintains health of skin, hair, nails.
I have purchased this product before several times on Amazon from Pure encapsulations. I then realized and was happy to find out that Lifesource Vitamins sold the product of MSM. Life source product is not as fine as Pure. Life source product tends to fly off of scoop or measuring spoon. As far as results on how I feel health wise it is yet to be determined. I may have to continue with Pure encapsulations. I will determine in about two months.

Le lingue ienisseiane sono una famiglia linguistica di lingue parlate nella Siberia centrale, nella regione del fiume Enisej (talora italianizzato in Ienissei). Si tratta di una famiglia che corre fortemente il rischio d'estinzione, infatti solo una lingua (il Ket) risulta parlata da un piccolo gruppo di persone (190 persone secondo Ethnologue) mentre le altre sono estinte o sul punto d'estinguersi.

Classificazione
La famiglia conta solo due lingue ancora parlate (forse solo una), mentre quelle più meridionali si sono estinte:
[tra parentesi quadre il codice di classificazione internazionale linguistico]

 Lingue ienisseiane
 Lingue ienisseiane settentrionali
 Lingua ket [ket]
 Lingua yugh [yuu] (probabilmente estinta)
 Lingue ienisseiane meridionali
 Ramo Kott–Assan (separatesi verso il 1200 d.C.)
 Kott † (estinta verso la metà del XIX secolo)
 Assan † (estinta nel XIX secolo)
 Ramo Arin–Pumpokol (separatesi verso il 550 d.C.)
 Arin † (estinta nel XIX secolo)
 Pumpokol † (estinta verso il 1750)

Le quattro ultime sono conosciute solo per scritti antichi, in particolare quelli del linguista finlandese Matthias Alexander Castrén che, con Julius Klaproth ha stabilito la parentela di queste lingue.

Di altre lingue (Buklin, Baikot, Yarin, Yastin, Ashkyshtym e Koibalkyshtym) che possono essere identificate come lingue appartenenti alla famiglia ienisseica, dall'esame di elenchi compilati dagli esattori zaristi delle tasse sulle pellicce, nel XVII secolo, non è rimasta altra traccia che il nome.

Superfamiglia dene-ienisseiana
Nel 2008, Edward Vajda della Western Washington University ha presentato prove, basate su di una metodologia rigorosa, a favore di una relazione genealogica tra la famiglia delle lingue ienisseiane della Siberia e le lingue na-dene del Nord America. L'ipotesi di Vajda ha favorevolmente impressionato parecchi esperti di lingue na-dene e ienisseiane, incluso Michael Krauss, Jeff Leer, James Kari ed Heinrich Werner, come pure un buon numero di linguisti molto noti, come Bernard Comrie, Johanna Nichols, Victor Golla, Michael Fortescue ed Eric Hamp. per cui oggigiorno è abbastanza accettata l'idea che le due famiglie debbano essere considerati due rami di un'unica super-famiglia di lingue dene-ienisseiane.

I was lent the first book in the Jessica Darling series, "Sloppy Firsts" by a friend last week. As soon as I finished it, I immediately tracked down and read the other four books in the series. I was positively hooked from the first few pages of the book.
"Sloppy Firsts" is a witty, fun, and yet still meaningful book that will bring you back to your high-school days, no matter how old you are. The book is written from the perspective of 15-year-old Jessica Darling; in fact, the book is her journal in which she keeps all of her secret thoughts. Jessica is a funny and sarcastic character, with a lot to say. It's no wonder she's earned the nickname of "Jessica Not-So-Darling" from her father.
Reading "Sloppy Firsts" is an adventure. Re-living the mindset of a 15-year-old girl is no easy task, and yet McCafferty has captured it perfectly. We stay with Jessica as she faces challenges with friendships, family, and yes, love. While some of the issues in the book may seem trivial (it IS high school, after all), I found myself all wrapped up in even the most trivial of issues simply because I was rooting so hard for Jessica. I think it's safe to say that she is not always the most likeable character, but who is at fifteen? Despite her character flaws, you can't help but love her and want the best for her.
I strongly recommend "Sloppy Firsts" (and the rest of the series) to anyone who is looking for a simple, enjoyable read. Once you've breezed through the first book, you'll find yourself reaching for the second... and the third... all the way until the fifth book, in which Jessica is an adult and the series comes to a satisfying end.
Jessica's Guide Is Refreshingly Thrilling!

Perhaps the richest pink of all "Angel's Trumpets", we really appreciate 'Pink Velvet's' flowering habit as the blooms hang straight down, not at an ungainly angle as with other pink varieties. A strong grower & heavy bloomer, the long-lasting, richly scented, 8-10" flowers keep coming from Spring thru Fall – scenting your evening garden like nothing else! A hummingbird favorite. Rich, composty soil, do fertilize or side-dress with compost several times a year to keep foliage nice & green. Protect from strong winds. 6-8' tall. Deer resistant!


Nautical stripes are one of our favourite transseasonal motifs. Cut in a relaxed fit, this midweight organic cotton dress is perfect for any time of year. We love layering it up with a long coat and sneakers. Our model is 178cm tall and is wearing a size 8/XS .


The design process is iterative producing many sketches and drawings. Each sketch has its own purpose; each describes a certain attribute of the design. At Anthi, we utilize all the tools available to us to create presentation graphics that depict a design solution. See examples of our completed work in our Portfolio.
Provided preliminary design services for a new cultural center and museum facility that will host a series of permanent and rotating exhibits in downtown Plymouth.
The preliminary design services included assessment of an existing building to be removed and associated preliminary construction cost estimates.
Conceptual design sketches were created for the City of New Bedford, Massachusetts Dept. of Transportation and Southcoast Rail sponsored Design Competition for new Multi-Modal Station in New Bedford, MA.
Design projects are in varying stages of development at any given time. We draw so that decisions can be made regarding direction of the project--drawing is a means to an end, not an end.
The sketches are meant to spark the imagination and capture the seed thought of an idea.

Duesenberg Number One – A 1921 Model "A" Coupe with Coachwork by Bender
The 1921 Duesenberg Model A Bender Coupe on the Pebble Beach Tour. All color photos by Richard Michael Owen of Supercars.net.
It is quite rare for a ninety plus year old pre war car to still be owned by the original family, but this unique 1921 Duesenberg Model A Coupe with custom coachwork by Bender is an exception. It was the first production Model A to be built after the prototypes were completed and tested and the first one to be sold to the public in 1921. It was used as a demonstrator at the start of production by the Duesenberg brothers to show off the very advanced features that included a sohc race-bred engine and four wheel hydraulic brakes.
The car was purchased by Samuel Northrup Castle, a founder of the Castle and Cook Co., a Hawaiian sugar cooperative 1921. The car was first used as a passenger car, but later in its life it was used as a business service vehicle in Hawaii. After its working life was over it then remained in the family. A few years back, Jimmy Castle of Monterey, California decided that the family heirloom should be preserved and treated to a first class restoration. Castle turned the car over to Bruce Canepa to have his shop preform the work.
The car at the 2013 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance where it won the Classic Car Club of America Trophy.
The Canepa restoration shop approached the work seriously and preserved and restored as many of the original components as possible. The majority of the work was accomplished by Dave Stoltz, a skilled fabricator and machinist. The aluminum body panels were removed from the ash body frame, which in turn was restored by a master woodworker Charles Pyle. The SOHC straight-eight Duesenberg engine was turned over to the legendary Ed Pink Racing Engine shop in Van Nuys, California for a complete rebuild and restoration.
L to R: The well appointed interior and dash – On its way to successfully completing the tour at Pebble Beach – The 260 c.i. sohc straight-eight.
In his quest for correctness, Dave Stoltz contacted us late in 2011 for pictures from the Fred Roe Collection of Model A Duesenberg photos, as he was rounding up every surviving original photo to help in the correctness of the effort. The complete restoration went on to take three years and some 10,000 hours of work to perform, the majority of which was done in house at the Canepa shop, including the upholstery work by Stuart Tifft.
You can view a very informative article by Robert C. Yeager of The New York Times and also see an excellent video, "Duesenberg Number One" at It's a Duesie. The First, in Fact at the newspapers Automobiles website. You can also read another article at the Times by Yeager about The No. 2 Duesenberg a Model A that also was entered in the 2013 Concours d'Elegance at Pebble Beach.
The photo (above) shows the Bender Coupe in front of what appears to have been the first Duesenberg showroom. Note that Tommy Milton's land speed record car can be seen inside behind the coupe.

I saw this car at Bruce Canepa's shop during the week prior to Pebble. The quality of the work done was outstanding. I really enjoyed talking with Stuart about the foibles of old car upholstery including this car in particular. The finished product is a credit to all involved. As a bonus, I was lucky enough to talk with the owner while the cars were on display in Carmel on the Thursday, learning more about the history of the car.
David Greenlees · September 10, 2013 at 5:00 am
Tony, You are right about that, they did a suburb job of restoring this car. The coachwork of the car in my eyes while unusual also has a very exclusive look to it and the belly pans, the cycle fenders and the step plates all add to it.
Peter Sneddon · September 11, 2013 at 3:56 am
Whilst not as old as the Duesenberg I have my great grandfathers 1929 Dodge truck. It was imported into Australia as a cab chassis. The wooden bodywork was built locally here in Melbourne, and first registered in Feb 1932. It was on the road continuously registered under three different registration numbers until 1960. I have the original registration papers. I restored it and reregistered it in the late 1970's but have since deregistered it and it's in the shed again until I retire and can get the time to get it working and back on the road again.
Peter , Thanks for sharing that with us.

Q: Install Ubuntu on a logical partition I have a 120 GB SSD and a 500 GB HDD .
In the SSD I have partitioned 98 GB (usable) as C: to start Windows and 19 GB as E: to start Ubuntu. In the HDD I have partitioned 350 GB as D: for Windows data and 116 GB as F: for Ubuntu data.
I have not yet attempted to install Ubuntu and want to ask, will this work?

A: Ubuntu (and Linux in general) does not require particularly fast disk drive. I you are running memory-intensive applications or have small RAM in your comp you should put swap on SDD and all other Ubuntu filesystems on HDD.
In such case you should have at least 3 partitions available for your Ubuntu installations:

*

*1st for swap - preferably on SDD

*2nd for /boot

*3rd for everything else - I usually use it to create LVM volume so I can keep things separated while having some flexibility

Here is my favourite partitioning example:
Filesystem                      1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root--lv  10190136   1775676   7873788  19% /
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-usr--lv  103081248   6285284  91536700   7% /usr
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-srv--lv     999320      1284    929224   1% /srv
/dev/sda2                          516024    368440    121372  76% /boot
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-tmp--lv   10190136     23568   9625896   1% /tmp
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-opt--lv   10190136    207132   9442332   3% /opt
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-home--lv   2535216    643960   1761172  27% /home
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-var--lv   20511356   1361992  18168300   7% /var

Please note /boot on a separate partition.
You can search for "Ubuntu custom partitioning" or review this question for reference: How to use manual partitioning during installation?
The proposed scheme has also the advantage, that if you remove HDD and move it to another PC you just loose swap, but Ubuntu stays usable - you can import volume group and mount filesystems or you even may be able to boot it up and use.
(depending on hardware similarities)

A: Yes, you can install Ubuntu in a logical partition, it is not required to install Ubuntu in a primary partition. Also the swap-partition (if you intend to use one) can reside in a logical partition.

(continued from page 4)
The Border Trilogy
Just as Blood Meridian's ambiguity and moral uncertainty owe much to the aesthetics of Vietnam, The Border Trilogy's moral clarity seems rooted in the American spirit of the time: in this case, the hangover of the Reagan '80s and the ethic of right and wrong inspired by the end of the Cold War, the first Iraq War, and the intervention in the former Yugoslavia. In addition to these extra-literary reasons, McCarthy seems to be at pains to paint these books in black and white because he knows he is writing allegories, and thus they require broad strokes in order to function properly.
The Border Trilogy is certainly not nearly as realist as McCarthy's first four novels, or even as realist as Blood Meridian. It has been previously commented that John Grady and Billy are far too able as cowboys to be believable. Whether breaking a horse, muzzling a wolf, or shooting game, they never struggle to do anything; they just do it, much like an epic hero might.
McCarthy further breaks from realism by showing a complete lack of interest in defining characters beyond archetypical everymen and -women. John Grady and Billy are the expert horsemen: they are good and strong and proud. Villains are irredeemably villainous—that may be a tautology, but it is a necessary one, as McCarthy's antagonists offer few traits to drape on them beyond their villainous nature. Many characters hardly exist except as they are needed to fit a situation—thus a blind man is blind because being unable to see lets him make portentous, quasi-philosophical statements that draw from his disability. A priest who has lost his faith appears just long enough to deliver his tale. Like the judge's monologues, these fables draw on the uncanny element inherent in Melville when characters suddenly step out of life-and-death situations to deliver metaphysical statements—yet whereas the judge was an integrated part of his book, these characters feel grafted, less an organic part of the story than something designed to fill a need. That need not necessarily be a flaw, except that McCarthy tries to join these necessarily false elements to the very true life-and-death struggles of his protagonists, and the two make for an awkward whole.
Nowhere is the allegorical nature of The Border Trilogy more apparent than in The Crossing, a very strange work by McCarthy's standards. At first its proliferating stories within stories make it seem like McCarthy's second attempt at a polyphonic novel, but it eventually becomes apparent that this is not the case: the same few philosophical principles operate behind the scenes throughout each story. Thus, as the stories more and more come to resemble one another, The Crossing resolves into the sustained deployment of a single view of the universe, one that, unfortunately, does not grow more elaborate as the novel progresses but only more repetitive. 1
This single-minded philosophizing contrasts sharply with the rather rich view McCarthy offers of the land of The Border Trilogy: an evaporating American cowboy lifestyle post-World War II and a post-Revolution Mexico embittered that after the death of so many millions the Mexican people have essentially exchanged one set of rich men for another. 2 The trilogy's two main protagonists, John Grady Cole and Billy Parham, both make multiple border crossings, spending large parts of their adolescences wandering Mexico's north, and their personal stories come to overlap the great changes occurring in these border regions. As they cross back and forth again and again, John Grady and Billy become trapped between worlds, and their lives are essentially tragic: as Philip A. Snyder poignantly writes, "John Grady's dying young with little compromise and Billy's living old with much accommodation amount to essentially the same thing in the end."
The Crossing, almost as large at the other two books in the trilogy combined, follows Billy Parham throughout the northern wilds of Mexico as he pursues a quest with no tangible goal, no logical rationale, not even any means of measuring progress. Years before, Billy caught a wolf marauding on his father's land, but instead of killing it as he was instructed he seeks to bring it back to Mexico. There he is caught up in a struggle over the wolf (which is killed), and then after the wolf's death he wanders Mexico. When Billy returns home years later he finds his parents murdered, and he and his brother set off to Mexico for revenge, without the slightest clue of who the murderers are. Their only hope is to find their parents' stolen horses and by that identify the killers.
This is obviously a quest doomed before it begins, and Billy can only persist by following the mirage of imminent success. Like the idea of meaning conceived of by the post-structuralists, Billy's goal always lies just a little bit farther down the road, yet always dissolving upon approach. This also embodies McCarthy's philosophy for the trilogy, one clearly descended from the judge's view of the world: in the midst of the adventure, Billy cannot grasp the meaning of his own life or even actively define it, and it is only in retrospect, once the shape of it is open to view, that he can begin to theorize as to what he was. In the words of one character: "The lesson of a life can never be its own. Only the witness has power to take its measure."
It must be said that the action of The Crossing, as well as that of All the Pretty Horses and Cities of The Plain, is sound. When McCarthy is describing his beloved "reddening" sun, a knife-fight to the death, roping a horse, or even the sudden impact of an owl with a windshield, the writing is clearly his own and beyond imitation. There is a very good narrative in The Border Trilogy, one wherein McCarthy eulogizes the death of an American era and of a way of life. The trilogy's first book, All the Pretty Horses, ends in the 1950s with the foreboding image of a bull "roiling in the dust against the bloodred sunset like an animal in sacrificial torment." The sunset itself "passed and paled into the darkening land, the world to come." The Crossing ends with a sign of the changing times: a very oblique description of the first atomic weapon test as seen from just before dawn in the Southwestern landscape. Cities of the Plain's threnodic intent is clear just from the title, which borrows plainly from the Bible: "Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of Heaven; and He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of those cities, and that which grew upon the ground." The trilogy concludes around the millennium, offering a glimpse of Billy's old-age in a world that has clearly passed him by.
Despite the trilogy's successes, these books are marred by McCarthy's overreach. His best allegories are boiled down to just one or two key characters that he can place into conflict, but The Border Trilogy is rife with characters intended to work on a symbolic level, and in their multitudes they feel poorly cared for and poorly integrated. The symbols in The Border Trilogy tend to be to overdetermined (they sometimes read as though McCarthy was channeling Hesse in a particularly pedantic mood); they don't accumulate shades of meaning but rather are restricted to one clear purpose. 3
The allegorical impact of most characters is deadened by the fact that they only appear long enough to deliver their bit of wisdom and then disappear. This failure is all the more clear when considering the one symbol in The Border Trilogy that shows signs of actual presence and subtlety: the wolf that Billy returns to Mexico during the first quarter of The Crossing. The wolf becomes an enigmatic symbol precisely because it sticks around as Billy passes through various regions and systems, becoming an integral part of several potent scenes of conflict. No other symbol in these allegories gets nearly as much stage-time as the wolf, and all of them are impoverished for their lack.
In McCarthy's defense, it must be said that his symbol/characters bristle with the imaginative detail that a force like McCarthy is capable of. At times their statements are quite beautiful: a blinded revolutionary's thoughts on the nature of blindness sound like those of one who truly knows the condition:
Finally he said that in his first years of darkness his dreams had been vivid beyond all expectation and that he had come to thirst for them but that dreams and memories alike had faded one by one until there were no more. Of all that once had been no trace remained. The look of the world. The faces of loved ones. Finally even his own person was lost to him. Whatever he had been he was no more. He said that like every man who comes to the end of something there was nothing to be done but to begin again. I can't remember the world of light, he said. It has been so long. The world is a fragile world. Ultimately, what can be seen is what endures. What is true. . . .
In my first years of blindness, I thought it was a form of death. I was wrong. Losing one's sight is like falling in a dream. You think there's no bottom to this abyss. You fall and fall. Light recedes. Memory of light. Memory of the world. Of your own face. Of the grim-faced mask. [my translation]
These thoughts bear the mark of literature, but other remarks made by McCarthy's iterant philosophers come off as cheap. For instance, after a lengthy and tense exchange that leads up to the revelation of one character's "secret," we should hear something better than "the secret . . . is that in this world the mask is what's true." [my translation] Occasionally these remarks come off as powerful, if only because McCarthy's storytelling abilities make them seem so, but upon closer reflection they seem more and more like cardboard walls.
If The Border Trilogy is not McCarthy's best work, nor is it a complete failure. It was a worthy experiment, one that marks some important signposts for McCarthy's development as a novelist. Moving cleanly away from the Appalachian novels, McCarthy has clearly ceased to wonder about the individual's agency in navigating his own life: rather, he proclaims that all individual agency is illusion and he tries to show how men invent so many different stories about the one sinuous path that each must walk. Furthermore, in these books he has situated his morals into a historical time and place more clearly and more consciously than in any previous works. Whereas the Appalachian novels were deeply enmeshed in the individual to the exclusion of the outside world, The Border Trilogy is just the opposite: a cast of everymen is orchestrated to embody a larger truth about the Southwest border regions in the 1940s and '50s. Their struggles are the archetypical struggles of many cowboys as the ranchlands of the border regions finally gave way to suburbanization and modernization. 4 Moreover, McCarthy here seems to express a potent nostalgia for America in this era, implying that the counterculture movements of the '60s and the Vietnam War were a mortal blow to the America that once was.
Stylistically, great changes are also afoot: the prose, though often lush when describing nature, is more stripped-down than anything we've previously seen. It is as though McCarthy started the trilogy with a list of things that would exist in his world (the red sun, horses, beautiful women, etc.)—these he describes obsessively, but everything else might as well not exist.
Cities of the Plain is particularly minimalist: it is a Western stripped of anything that might add nuance to the archetypical figures and the doomed love story. Many of the cowboys in Cities are hardly anything more than disembodied dialogue; they have no body to speak of, and even if they did McCarthy would give them nothing to do with it. The only characters who even rise to the level of flatness are John Grady and Billy, and then only because we can remember their descriptions from the trilogy's first two volumes. To this ethereality McCarthy mixes in a heavy dose of pregnant conversations that, though they generally sound like things cowboys might say to one another, nonetheless feel too freighted with meaning.
It is an achievement, although not necessarily a worthwhile one, that in his next book, No Country for Old Men, McCarthy will manage to make his plot even less resistant to friction . . .
1 Misappropriating Bakhtin, some have argued that, as the novel is a generally dialogic form, The Border Trilogy is a conversation between various voices in the text. To view this incredulity-begging approach in action see, for example, Christine Chollier, "Autotextuality, or Dialogic Imagination in Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy."
2 See "Wars and Rumors of Wars," John Wegner, and "Cowboy Codes" Philip A. Snyder.
3 Perhaps worst of all, the trilogy concludes with a completely unnecessary, 30-page epilogue where, in case you weren't sure of what McCarthy has been at pains to communicate for over 1,000 pages, he walks you through it one last time.
4 In an odd, but nonetheless instructive, sort of way, the El Paso/Ciudad Juarez of Cities of the Plain makes a worthwhile, naïve-but-nonetheless-deadly counterpart to Roberto Bolano's urban horror, Santa Teresa.

Commitment hours vary by position.
Front Desk Assistant – greet customers, answer phones, and provide walk-in customers with information regarding Shelter programs and adoptions.
Kennel Worker - cleaning kennels, feeding and watering the animals, and providing basic care for sick and injured animals.
All Burbank Animal Shelter volunteer applicants are required to go through LiveScan and a minimal background check.
Through the Career Technical Occupation Program, students receive training at the Burbank Animal Shelter that helps prepare them for entry-level employment in facilities such as kennels, pet shops, zoos, and veterinary hospitals.
The Career Technical Occupation Animal Care classes focus on training in animal-handling, animal identification, animal disease, basic animal first aid, euthanasia, animal housing and animal nutrition. In addition, students will understand the rules, regulations and agencies governing animal care, as well as the history of animal care and control, responsibilities of government animal welfare agencies, laws relating to wildlife conservation and control, principles of euthanasia, animal care center operations, animal housing and hygiene.
Students must be 16 years or older, and a junior or senior in high school. To enroll, visit your high school Career Center.
With dogs staying in shelters for longer periods of time it is increasingly more important to provide them with a better quality of life. Kuranda beds provide a shelter dog with a soft, dry, off the floor place to relax. The calming effect reduces stress levels promoting adoption. Your gift will provide a shelter dog a comfortable bed for many years to come.
Give the Gift of Comfort to a shelter dog or cat. Your kindness will make a world of difference to them! Prices are specially discounted when donating. Items ship directly to the shelter in your name.

Vermont is a second home for me. My dream has always been to live in two places – and the Green Mountains of Stowe, VT is a natural one for me.
My love of Vermont comes from the joy of working and living there. Along with raising my children in Stowe; it is where I learned to be a Country Design professional and adapted to a lifestyle which I have come to love.
As an always city dweller, Vermont opened my eyes to a new way of looking at the world and enhanced my abilities as a professional in the field of interior design.
Home Life is headquartered in Boston, and I'm a Designer On Call at the wonderful Boston Design Center (which, by the way, has a wealth of exciting interior design products where we purchase from frequently); I have decided to spend more time in Stowe where I'll work on projects and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of a bucolic lifestyle. I feel fortunate indeed to be able to live in both worlds!
Our trademarked statement, Love How You Live originated in Stowe, VT and my hope is for each new client to discover their own visual voices; as well as living their dreams coming home again in Vermont.

The world's first Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in India Pale Ale craft beer casks. This expression is the fruit of a collaboration with a local Speyside craft brewer and imbues the whisky with zesty citrus and tangy hops from the oak casks that previously held a bold Speyside IPA.
With delicate ripe green apple, pear and spring blossom on the nose, a vibrant citrus note followed by sweet vanilla and fresh hops on the palate and a long lasting sweetness with subtle green hops on the finish, this unique single malt is bottled at 43% abv.
en ny upplevelse, helt i min smak.
Was expecting more hoppy notes it is very very subtle in my opinion. Otherwise a nice whisky.
Different to other single malts I have purchased. Excellent value.

Besides saving overripe banana's in your freezer for smoothies & "soft serve", making banana bread is the next best way to use up those ripe bananas sitting on your kitchen counter.
Double chocolate & coconut on the inside and out make it extra special. I only have one regret; sharing 2 pieces with my Sister and Mom....come to find out they don't like chocolate or coconut; what is wrong with them and how did I not know this in my 30+ years of life!
For Justin and I, this was a perfectly acceptable breakfast; paired with a cup of tea I was in breakfast heaven. I found myself literally counting down the hours to my next piece for an afternoon snack. Needless to say our loaf only lasted a full day and a half.
For a little extra depth of flavor you could absolutely toast the coconut flakes; you could even add in a handful of toasted hazelnuts roughly chopped or replace the coconut totally with hazelnuts.
Do you have a favorite quick bread recipe or classic that you have neglected for far too long?
In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, chia seeds, 8oz vegan chocolate chopped & 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes- mix well. Add remaining ingredients and stir until well combined/mixed. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for approximately 40 minutes or until a skewers comes out with a few moist crumbs when stuck in the middle of loaf.
Remove from oven and allow to cool to the touch prior to removing from the pan (before removing, run a sharp knife around the perimeter of the pan and banana bread.
While the bread is cooling, combine 4oz of vegan chocolate and 1 tbsp almond milk- in 30 second intervals microwave chocolate until melted (it only took my microwave 30sec) alternatively melt in a double boiler. Once bread has cooled to the touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the bread and sprinkle remaining 2 tbsp coconut over the chocolate drizzle.
Ooooh, this looks lovely! It's been far too long since I've made banana bread, and the last time I tried to make my own gluten-free blend, it didn't turn out well at all... Any tips for gluten-free baking? I struggle with the wet-to-dry ratio.
Oh goodness, tips on Gluten Free Baking; I am still fairly new to Gluten Free baking however I have yet to have a failure, I tend to lean towards recipes that do not need to rise all that much and have a high moisture content already- I play around with the amounts based on consistency of the batter. For this recipe I simply subbed in equal measurements of ap flour for GF Multi Purpose Flour and it worked great. Cara at Fork & Beans and Richa at Vegan Richa are the GF baking masters!
I am soooo with you. I love making gluten free quick breads and this one looks perfect!
Thanks beautiful lady; GF quick breads have always been successful for me- this one is now my all time fave!
You are the best Richa- hope things are well!
Sounds yummy! I've been meaning to try some gluten-free baking. Do you know which flours are in the King Arthur flour blend?
Perfect! Especially since I have all of those flours, so no need to purchase anything new. Actually, I might not have tapioca starch, but I know that I've used corn starch in place of tapioca starch in recipes and it works just as well.
Excellent- let me know when you make it and how it turned out!
Wow what a way to bring your banana bread tradition back into your life- this look amazing!!
It's back in and staying for a very long time!
Hi! Soooo glad I found this recipe! My husband LOVES chocolate and coconut (and when they are combined - double score!) … and who doesn't love banana bread?!? And then the chia seeds! This will be a total crowd pleaser at my house!
PS - Gorgeous photos! Can't wait to look around on the site more!!
Hi Steph! Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment, hope to see you around more often!
Nice! I have to try the oat flour next time around, I bet it was super delish!
Any chance this recipe works with regular all-purpose or whole wheat? I usually have GF around the house (I do a little bit of both) but we're out.
I'm sorry to hear that- can I ask what happened and what made it a fail for you?
Your photos are gorgeous! I've never tried GF baking, but it's definitely on my short list as I love almost all vegan baked goods. Do you have any quick tips I should follow for my first attempt at GF baking?
Thank you Cathy! The more I play around with gluten free baking the better I become, pay attention to the consistency of your batter when subbing in Gluten Free Flours, the best GF flours to start off with would be a blend or grinding your own gf oat or almond flour- best of luck!
Just found your lovely blog and this recipe. It looks incredible and so delicious! Definitely need to try it out :) Thanks for sharing!

The AddFileAsync is a helper function that is used to add the file to the file store and uses a DaprtClinet to do so.
public async Task<FileReturnType> AddFileAsync(byte[] fileContent, string path, string fileName)
{
  var filepath = Path.Combine(path, fileName);

  string base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(fileContent, 0, fileContent.Length);
  Dictionary<string, string> metadata = new Dictionary<string, string>{ {"blobName",filePath}};

  await _daprClient.InvokeBindingAsync("ifms-dapr-filestore", "create", base64String, metadata);
  long fileSize = fileContent.Length;
  var extension = Path.GetExtension(fileName);

  return new FileReturnType(filepath, fileSize, extension);
}

When I add the file I get the following error message
Dapr.DaprException: Binding operation failed: the Dapr endpoint indicated a failure. See InnerException for details.

Both the azure storage and the container a configured on azure as per the image below

A: I think the issue is in your storageAccountContainerName which, looking at the error response seems to be in the format of {storageaccountName}/default/{actualContainerName}.
The URL in the PUT request in your output begins with https://ifmsstorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/ifmsstorageaccount/default/ifms-filestore/ which is in the format https://{storageAccountName}.blob.core.windows.net/{storageAccountName}/default/{containerName}/{blobName} while it should be https://{storageAccountName}.blob.core.windows.net/{containerName}/{blobName}
Try changing the output in storageaccount.bicep to:
output storageAccountContainerName string = last(split(container.name, '/'))
