Comments and Explanations
Feature Name
Split Softokn off from NSS
The softokn cryptographic module of NSS should be split off as nss-softokn package. The utilities library which is a common library required by softokn and the rest of nss utils should also be packaged separately as nss-utils.
• email: [email protected]
Current status
• Targeted release: Fedora 21
• Last updated: (DATE)
• Percentage of completion: 75%
Detailed Description
The softokn cryptographic module of NSS should be split off as the nss-softkn pacakage. A set of utilities called by both softokn and the rest of NSS would also need to be packaged as its own package.
NSS is FIPS 140 validated but what is really submitted for FIPS validation is the cryptographic module, that is, softkn. This split is to enable users and packagers to upgrade to the current version of NSS while preserving the last FIPS validated version of the cryptographic module if they so require. Fedora based distributions such as, but not limited to, RHEL would greatly benefit from this feature in terms of maintenance.
Benefit to Fedora
The nss shared libraries which are currently distributed as
softokn-freebl: libfreebl3.so, libfreebl3.chk
would be distributed among the packages as
softokn: libsoftokn3.so, libsoftokn3.chk
softokn-freebl: libfreebl3.so, libfreebl3.chk
util: ibnssutil3.so
How To Test
Separately package nss, nss-softokn, and nss-util all having the same version numbers. Separately package nss, and nss-util as the latest release while keeping nss-softokn at an earlier release such as the current release which gor FIPS validated. There should not be conflicts at installation time in either of the above cases. Components that depend on NSS should install withourt conflicts There should be no regressions for components that depend on NSS. Examples of these are glibc, mod_nss, nss_compat_nss, crypto-utils, openswan, and Pidgin's libpurple.
User Experience
glibc, pmod_nss, nss_compat_nss, crypto-utils, openswan, and libpurple are some packages that depend on NSS. NSSS has no significant dependencies except for NSPR and this would have no effect on this relationship.
Contingency Plan
• A proof of concept implementation of this proposal can be obtained by executing
git clone git://fedorapeople.org/~emaldonado/splitnss.git
Release Notes
• The Fedora Release Notes should describe the new packaging.

tabzilla is the universal tab displayed on Mozilla websites.
Adding the universal tab requires to a site requires:
1. Add the static tab link (example below) to the top of your template. <a href="" id="tabzilla">mozilla</a>
2. Include the tabzilla.css CSS file either as a CSS include or built in to your minified styles. <link href="//" rel="stylesheet" />
3. Include the tabzilla.js file in your template (preferably in the footer). <script src="//"></script>
As the universal tab does inject HTML/CSS into the DOM, some there are some requirements that you must meet.
1. Background images must not be attached to the <body> element.
2. Absolutely positioned elements must not be positioned relative to the <body> element.
3. An element other than the <body> should add a 2 pixel white border to the top of the page (border-top: 2px solid #fff;)
Any background image or absolutely positioned element attached to the body element would not move with the rest of the contents when the tab slides open. Instead, any such background or element should be attached to anoter HTML element in the page (a wrapper div, for example). Note that this issue does not apply to solid background colors, or backgrounds that do not vary vertically (solid vertical stripes, for example).
If jQuery is already included on the page, it will be used by Tabzilla. If jQuery is not already on the page, it will automatically be included after the page has loaded.
Testing Bookmarklet
To make sure Tabzilla is working properly, create a new bookmark with the contents of this file, then click the bookmarklet while on one of your pages to see how the tab will appear on your site.
Please note the following limitations of the bookmarklet:
• The tab is aligned to the top right of the viewport, not to the top right of your layout, as it should be.
• The tab has a float:left; that may interfere with other content on your page or slip behind other elements and be invisible.
Something went wrong with that request. Please try again.

Granddaughter of a commoner
Granddaughter of a commoner
Wife of a King
Mother of a Queen
Yet in the end - nothing
Ambition her ambrosia
She tempted fate
Well, fate took the bait
They called her many things
Some she deserved, others not
Yet she asked and she got
We cannot complain
Of fates cruel twists
The wheel of fortune spins
Down, up, and down again
She divided a country
Gave the people free will
In the end she was her own destruction
The mighty fall further than the weak
Further to fall, more causes to weep
A swordsman from France
An end worthy of better
A usurper, a vixen a witch
She was all these and more
Yet in the end she is like you and I
A human with faults that caused her to die
Who is this women, this queen called
Her name was Anne Boleyn
She died of a nations shame

Folk musician McPeake faces trial over child sex abuse allegations
Traditinal music performer and teacher Francis McPeake leaves Belfast Laganside Courts
Traditinal music performer and teacher Francis McPeake leaves Belfast Laganside Courts
Well-known folk musician Francis McPeake III is to stand trial accused of a catalogue of child sex abuse on both sides of the Irish border.
The 71-year-old Belfast man can be named after his lawyers confirmed they were not challenging a decision to lift reporting restrictions.
McPeake, part of a traditional music dynasty in the city, had tried to have his identity protected due to fears his life was at risk.
He fled his Eliza Street Close home in the Markets area last month after a mob of up to 60 people gathered outside.
Riot squad police had to disperse the crowd, who had arrived after details of the case against McPeake appeared on Facebook and in a Sunday newspaper.
The accused faces a total of 12 charges involving alleged offences committed during 2009 and 2010.
They include counts of sexual activity outside the UK and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
Some of the alleged offences occurred in the Republic of Ireland and others in the Belfast area.
All of them involve the same alleged victim, a girl aged under 16 at the relevant times.
A temporary ban on identifying McPeake was imposed when he first appeared before Belfast Magistrates Court to allow his legal team time to seek a full prohibition.
Defence lawyers then argued that naming their client would breach his rights to life and freedom from torture, punishment and inhuman treatment.
It was claimed that McPeake is different from other defendants because he is so well-known.
District Judge Fiona Bagnall accepted there would be a real and immediate risk to his life if he was to return to his home address.
But she refused to grant full reporting restrictions on the basis that he has now moved to a different, unidentified location.
In a ruling given on Tuesday Judge Bagnall said: “The evidence before me suggests the threat has come from the defendant’s immediate locality.
“There is no verifiable or objective evidence that the level of threat would be replicated if he were to reside elsewhere.”
Pointing out that McPeake has already been named in print and social media coverage, she added: “The identity of the defendant is obviously well-known in the Markets area.
“In those circumstances it’s likely those who are likely to pose a verifiable threat to the defendant already know his identity.
“Therefore publishing his name will not materially increase the threat to the defendant.”
McPeake’s lawyers were given until yesterday to
decide whether to mount a High Court challenge to her ruling.
It was confirmed, however, that no further challenge was being pursued.
McPeake, whose new address cannot be revealed, then entered the dock for a preliminary enquiry hearing.
With his family members in the public gallery, he declined to give evidence or call witnesses at this stage in the case.
Judge Bagnall granted a prosecution application to have him returned for trial at Belfast Crown Court on a date to be fixed.
He was released on continuing bail of £500 to return when those proceedings get under way.

: 77 fleetwood spare tire problem
03-29-06, 12:42 PM
Hi, I have a problem which i am hoping someone could help. I have a 77 fleetwood. It has 4 wheels disc. when i bought the car, it never had a spare tire (a donut) so i bought one on ebay specifically for my 77 fleetwood. mint condition.....well, i had a flat and went to put the donut spare on the car. the car didn't budge an inch. the rim of the spare for the car must have been for drum brakes because the spare was hitting the caliper. DOES ANYONE HAVE A SPARE DONUT FOR MY CAR WITH 4 WHEEL DISC? Any help is appreciated.
03-29-06, 11:52 PM
I would suggest just getting a fullsize wheel and tire. they are easy to get. pretty much any chevrolet fullsize 5 lug will fit with in the last 40 years
03-30-06, 12:01 PM
cool, thats an idea. i was unsure if any gm would fit. i guess i need to find a gm with 4 wheel disc. thanks. any ideas?
03-30-06, 12:08 PM
Just get a old wheel off one of those era Devilles or Fleetwoods as a spare. That's what the spare in my '79 Deville was.
03-30-06, 01:15 PM
The proper compact spare is the blowup type, the one that has the CO2 cyl that blows it up to proper size tire. But they are scarce these days, and the CO2 likey is scarcer!
You can get a spare from a 94-96 Caprice 9C1 or Impala SS, they will have one that clears the caliper most likely too.
03-30-06, 08:31 PM
I believe that was called the space saver spare. I used to have one of those with the CO2 bottle and the deflated tire. They are hard to find!
03-30-06, 09:44 PM
I found one in the trunk of a car at a junkyard once with a full co2 bottle and unused spare anybody know what those things might be worth I paid around $20 just so I could have one in addition to a fullsize spare

I pulled back his sleeve and he had a bruise where he was grabbed. I immediately went into the school to speak to the principal. But she was not there, the school social worker was in her place. I told her what happened .And so did my son she apologized for it, then she said we have to hear his side of the story. So we waited on him to come He came in and the social worker ask him what happened. He admitted in front of the social worker, my son , my other 2 kids, and my children's aunt that he did it. And that my son deserved it and that the whole class deserved it cause they wouldn't listen. . I NEED HELP
Additional information
My son is scared to go to school now, but I know he has to go. Futhermore , I took my son to the emergency room and they acted like they didn't want to be bothered. I ask for them to call the cops and a nurse told me that they don't take pictures or get involved in these matters. I tried to file police report, but the school and school board are not cooperating. the school never called DCF OR CPS I had too. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS, AS A MOTHER.

Answered . So sorry to hear that your son had a bad experience at school. In many states, before you can sue a school district, you are required to exhaust any administrative remedies available to you (i.e. the complaint or grievance process). Try contacting a personal injury lawyer or a school law attorney - after a thorough review of the facts, they will be able to advise you on possible next steps. You can use the Find a Lawyer tab here on Avvo as a starting point.

Drake shares his NBA “knowledge” for new video game ad
Drake from the NBA2k12 commercial
There might not be any NBA basketball this year but it’s not stopping 2K Sports from releasing the brand new NBA2K12 video game Tuesday.
The successful brand released a special commercial for the upcoming game, where athletes, fans and celebrities argue about who is the best NBA team of all time, and Drake is apparently all about the 2011 Miami Heat. Yes, the LeBron, Wade and Bosh gang that lost the championship to the Dallas Mavericks this year.
Drake, who released the first single from his new album “Take Care,” claims that “Today’s Miami Heat plays above the rim. Larry Bird couldn’t even reach the rim.” Interesting choice from someone who seems like he knows enough about basketball, being a big Kentucky Wildcats fan.
Sorry Drake, you can’t compete with the other teams. 1996 Bulls. RINGs a bell?
Though it seems pretty fitting that he chose the team that was so focused on anything else but basketball this season. Maybe it’s a sign that he should just focus on his music.

Medicines for Cold & Cough
| By Aubri John
Photo Caption Cough syrup is a common remedy used during a cold. Photo Credit measuring cough medicine image by Larry Allen from Fotolia.com
A cold is a contagious virus that infects the mucous membrane of the nose. There is no cure for the common cold but there are medication options for relieving symptoms. The Mayo Clinic indicates that over-the-counter medications may offer some relief, but they do not shorten the duration of a cold, and may only treat certain symptoms of the cold. Cough is one of the many symptoms that accompany a cold, and coughing typically subsides once the cold has completed its course in the body.
Cold and Cough Combination Medications
There are combination medications available over-the-counter to treat cold and cough. According to the Mayo Clinic, the combination medicine may contain more than one ingredient such as decongestant or antihistamine, so it is important to find the best combination for the symptoms you are experiencing. Common symptoms treated with combination medicine include pain, fever, mucus and congestion. Medications such as loratadine or chlorpheniramine help the runny nose and itchiness associated with the cold. Phenylephrine is a decongestant useful for a stuffed up nose. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant, and guaifenesin helps with mucus build up. There are several medications available over-the-counter, and consultation with a pharmacist may be helpful in choosing the best option.
You Might Also Like
Antitussives are cough suppressants, and the purpose of these medications is to reduce coughing. Antitussives may be found over-the-counter or by prescription from a physician. The National Institutes of Health does not recommend taking antitussives if mucus is being coughed up. Dextromethorphan is one available cough suppressant that decreases cough by blocking the area of the brain that causes coughing. There are medication side effects to consider when using antitussives, as well as precautions if you are taking other medications that may be affected by the chemicals in cough suppressants. Read the labels and precautions before using this medication to treat cough. Prescription antitussives include codeine and hydromorphone. The prescriptions may only be obtained through consultation with a physician.
Analgesics are pain-relieving medications. Aches and pains are often present during the course of a cold. Acetaminophen is available to offer some relieve for the pain as an over-the-counter remedy. Acetaminophen is safe when taken as directed; however, overdose may lead to liver damage. The online source Family Doctor does not recommend certain analgesics for children due to the risk of sudden liver and brain damage from the chemical salicylate, which is present in some analgesics. The Mayo Clinic recommends minimal use of medications to treat a cold and further suggests fluids, salt gargle for the throat and chicken soup as primary treatment for cold and cough.

[BioC] mas5calls error with YG_S98 CEL files
Bruz Marzolf bmarzolf at systemsbiology.org
Wed Sep 22 21:02:24 CEST 2004
Upon further investigation, it appears that failure of mas5calls to work with YG_S98 chips is due to these yeast chips containing probe sets which only have 1 probe pair each. Curious about how GCOS handles these probe sets, I checked and it appears that probe sets with 1 probe pair always receive a p-value of either 0.25 or 0.75.
Could a solution/work-around for this problem be implemented? I'm guessing that the person who originally wrote the code will have the best idea of how this 1 probe pair scenario ought to be dealt with.
Best wishes,

Contact 9: Powerhouse Gym Update
Posted: Updated: May 14, 2012 04:18 PM
A January grand opening is what people who signed up for a local gym thought they were getting themselves into last fall, but as the months passed and the doors stayed shut, outrage circulated online and on the WAFB Contact9 voicemail.
After months of waiting, there has finally been some movement at the Powerhouse Gym site on Sherwood Forest Boulevard in Baton Rouge.
"We scheduled a meeting with the contractor, so that we could establish moving forward from this point," said Carey Chauvin with the Department of Public Works.
"Moving forward" are words Chauvin has not been able to say about Powerhouse since a stop work order was issued at the site in December.
A previous contractor was working there without permits and according to Chauvin, the gym was not safe. For example, he said the track was not built properly and it was unstable, which could have led to an accident.
We're told the gym's owners, Ronnie and Connie Olah, have stripped up the work in question.
"They're good to go-permit issued last week. We just wanted to make sure the contractor understood what our inspection requirements are," said Chauvin.
The Olahs declined to comment. They will have to pay double the fee because of their code violation earlier in construction stages, but they can now resume work.
This is a relief for many, including Chauvin. He said his phone at DPW has been ringing off the hook, sometimes with 12 to 15 calls a day on this issue.
"That's probably been the most unique thing about the project for us is we don't typically get the number of calls that we have for this particular project. People just asking us what the status is, what the holdup may be," said Chauvin.
WAFB continues to receive questions and complaints as well. They have been pouring in from customers who have already given the Olahs money and from people claiming they worked for the Olahs and never got paid.
The Olahs refused to give a new timeline of when construction is expected to be complete at the Powerhouse site. They currently have a failing grade on the Better Business Bureau's website.

Whiting: Trick to teen's magic is passion, practice
Whiting: Trick to teen's magic is passion, practice
Mark Gibson, a senior at Tesoro High School in Las Flores, shows off his skills at juggling. At 18, Gibson is the youngest person inducted into the Magic Castle and the Academy for Magical Arts.
When you have a passion there's no stopping you, especially with magic on your side.
I promise Gibson, a high school senior, no Harry Potter jokes. Still, "magical arts" seems awfully Hogwarts and far too serious a term for people who pull rabbits out of hats.
Gibson stands in his family's living room in Rancho Santa Margarita and picks up a crystal orb the size of tennis ball. The orb waltzes down his arm, tangos through his fingers and performs a grand jeté under his palm defying gravity.
It's – yes – magical art.
• • •
Watch a video of Gibson performing.
"They're seeing something they can't explain," he tells me. "There's this rush of imagination, like the first time they saw it snow."
Gibson discovered his passion when he was 10 years old. And never gave up.

brown eyed girl looking at camera
Tamara Schlesinger
Special Offer
"One night, I was home cleaning my apartment when I noticed that the people in the building next to mine were having sex against the window. I couldn't see their faces, but I could see that the guy was decked out in really lacy lingerie. I figured that he just must have a weird fetish or something, but it was still pretty hilarious to watch. Later that week, I had to pick up a friend who lived in the couple's building. As we were leaving her place, I started to tell her about what I'd seen. She was laughing at first, but when I mentioned the fact that he'd been wearing lingerie, she started to turn red. I started rambling about what a freak he must be and that I couldn't imagine having to put up with a guy like that. She shot me a look that made me think I might have offended her, so I asked her if she knew the couple. She said no, but the expression on her face made it clear that the panty-wearing guy was her boyfriend Brett." -Mara, 33

During an interview with Nikkei Japan, Sony's CTO Masayuki Chatani touches on the growing number of ways the PlayStation 3 has to accept payment, including the dreaded "monthly fees."
Last month during a Sony investor presentation, the company made mention of a potential subscription service for the PlayStation Network. While there's still nothing to announce on that front, Chatani once again brings up the possibility of monthly fees while discussing the cost of maintaining the PlayStation Network.
Servers and the like have running costs, and we would face difficulties if our business depended solely on the sell-and-forget model. After we sell the hardware, though, we continue to sell products such as content and services. We expect to see considerable growth in digital content, such as game download services, avatar items and the like. We can also accept payment in a growing number of ways. In addition to single-payment packaged software, there are also schemes like monthly fees or per-item charges. I think this variety of payment methods will bring about a diverse range of playing methods, too.
It doesn't sound to me like Sony would be charging for the PlayStation Network as much as they would be offering additional services and content on top of what players already get for free on PSN. Of course that's merely speculation.
Would you be open to paying a small monthly fee for easy access to downloadable content and items, or would you prefer to pay as you go?

[Coco] coco dysan disk program
Bill Pierce ooogalapasooo at aol.com
Mon Jan 23 10:45:40 EST 2012
There is such a program... . It's called "Memory Minder". It was put out by J&M Systems of J&M Disk Controller fame. The only problems are: You have to be set up running J-Dos and it has to be a 40trk DS system. It seems from the ad in Rainbow that it came in DS & SS but the file I found is the DS one.
The Rainbow ad says
"Memory Minder is a disk drive test program that makes the following major checks of your drives without disassembly or special test equipment: head alignment, disk speed, index hole timing, azimuth, hysteresis, read sensitivity, and clamping. Memory Minder can be used to actually align the drives while viewing the graphics on the screen. This program is a must for anyone who values the data that is saved on diskettes.
* Diagnostic Diskette not included"
Both files are in the repository. Memory Minder is in .dsk format and J-Dos is in cart format (.ccc)
According to the "run-me" file on the disk,
"Minder assumes you have 40 tracks, double sided, and a Dysan Digital Diagnostic Disk. Merely press {ENTER} when a DDD error occures if you don't have a DDD disk. Inner scans will fail if only 35 tracks are present, tracks 35-40 aren't formatted, or, there is a problem. RESET to exit tests... LOADM"DRVTEST" and EXEC. Unless using JDOS, the Index Hole Scan will fail. This is normal for RSDOS"
I also found some really good info on alignment here:
and thier site that actually sells diagnostic disks... not Dysan, but "Accurite Analog Alignment Diskette":
Then I found Dysan disks on E-Bay:
I hope this is some help

Book Description
Sophisticated Sabotage: The Intellectual Games Used to Subvert Responsible Regulation
Sophisticated Sabotage: The Intellectual Games Used to Subvert Responsible Regulation explores regulatory cost-benefit analysis, quantitative risk assessment, the monetization of intangible values, comparative risk assessment and cost-effectiveness analysis, and related sub-disciplines. By explaining the arguments advanced by supporters of these tools, and discussing contrary views through short excerpts from the literature, Sophisticated Sabotage describes how dubious risk assessment and economic models have come to dominate regulatory decisionmaking and now stymie urgently needed health, safety and environmental protections. Each excerpt is thoroughly explained and previewed. Each chapter concludes with an extensive annotated listing of further readings. The authors are leading experts in administrative and environmental law.

Your question
building a pc for 3d animation use
Last response: in Systems
January 3, 2007 11:36:15 PM
I have been asked by a friend to build her a machine to use for her 3d animation and other graphical design needs. She uses apps like Photoshop CS2, Maya 8, and 3d Studio Max among others.
I have 2 price ranges that I want to give her options for. $1000-$1500 and $2500.
This would be a completely new build, everything would be needed including a monitor.
Cases and hard drives are pretty easy. So I'm looking for more suggestions on mobo, cpu, heatsink/fan, power supply, and graphics card. Also if you would suggest going with XP 64bit or not.
Many suggestions welcome. Thanks!
More about : building animation
January 5, 2007 1:47:22 PM
Ok what do you think about this build? What would you change? Keep in mind that no overclocking will be done and will be mainly used for Maya, 3d Studio Max, and other apps like that, but some gaming as well.
Lian-Li PC-G50B
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
Apevia Concord ATX MR500W
Evga Geforce 7950GT
Super Talent (2x1Gb) DDR2 800
2 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10
Sceptre x22wg
Samsung 18x DVD burner w/ lightscribe
=$1800 plus shipping
January 5, 2007 9:30:13 PM
Nvidia makes a free rendering engine called Gelato. Gelato levereages the floating point processor capabilities of an Nividia GPU to accelerate render times in several 3D animation and imaging programs. Seeing the programs your friend is using I'd recommend the following setup:
HDD: Western Digital Caviar SE 160gb 8mb cache $60
CPU: AMD 64 X2 4200+ EE (65w) $169
Mobo: ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe $199
VGA: BFG 8800GTX $600
RAM: Corsair XMS2 2x1gb kits 2gb total $246
DVD Drive: Lite-on Dual Layer DVD Drive w/ Lightscribe $37
FDD: Samsung 1.44mb FDD Drive $7
Sound Card: Creative SBA 4 $76
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 940b 20.1" $350
OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 $280
Case: Antec P180 $120
PSU: PC Power & Cooling 610w PSU $170
Total Cost: $2314
No need for extra cooling unless she plans to OC.
Hope this helps! :D

WHY would anyone recommend spending $280.00 for XP Pro???
January 5, 2007 11:06:42 PM
Definantly stick with a Intel based CPU, superior than AMD in programs like Photoshop and any graphic design based system.
January 6, 2007 1:07:04 AM
Hey I_Love_Tacos, for some reason, I can't see those wish lists. Can you put it in the public shared lists on new egg?
For this build, I think I will stick with Intel as they do seem to be best at this type of work, from what I've been reading. I've thought about the xeons, but I'm hoping that maybe I can bump this thing to a quad core if she'll hold off until April for the prices to drop.
January 6, 2007 1:38:52 AM
Hey.. I'm actually building something like this, I'll tell you this: GO WITH XEONS! Quad-channel memory is INCREDIBLE! I know, I know... people always talk about the latency and everything... but it isn't a big deal. Also... with what she's doing.... why not look at a mid-range Quadro FX GPU? You can get one that's cheaper than a Geforce card and will outperform it in apps like Maya and whatnot. Now... it's a bit hypocritical for me to say this... as I'm getting an 8800GTX (but I'm softmodding it)
January 6, 2007 2:55:07 AM
Looks like a pretty nice build. Only thing I think I would change is the video card to Nvidia. Everyone seems to say that they are best for Maya.
Is there a definite advantage to using the Xeons over the core2duos?
I'm meeting with my friend tomorrow night to show her a few options. I will get her definite budget then. I know she said that she could do $2500, but she seemed a bit timid about that much.
Thanks for the suggestions so far! Oh, any suggestions on a monitor? I've been looking at that Sceptre 22inch. Would there be a better one at that size? She's working on a 15 inch now, so anything is better.
January 6, 2007 3:12:56 AM
Why would you get a Xeon 3060 with FSB 1066 and not a regular E6600? It's $50 cheaper and they have the same specs. Also, if you don't get two video cards, there is no reason to go with such an expensive SLI motherboard. It's a very nice motherboard, but it's overkill and expensive. Get an ASUS P5B instead.
My 2 cents,
January 6, 2007 3:26:47 AM
Are you sure that heat sink will fit that case? See the customer review.
Also that is a funky ram choice, I think your spec is pretty good but I would spring for some modest Corsair or OZC ram sticks and get a better case.
Don't think Gelato is really an issue outside a major production pipeline.
BTW - I'm earning a living in 3DS Max on a 3Gig P4, so this new system will kick butt on my 'workstation' and should be plenty fast your friend.
64 Bit is a tough decision to make, I was all hyped on it until I read some of the disapointments others were experiencing, with 64 bit Max in particular (see the Max section of cgtalk). You could possibly go dual boot for both a 32 & 64 bit OS.
Don't forget $3,500.00 for the Max license, etc... and the responsibility of maintaining and repairing the box down the road. Something I don't even like doing for myself let alone a friend.
Good Luck!
January 6, 2007 3:28:21 AM
As "I love tacos" said, this particular 1950xt is a super sweet card and a very good deal, however if her work skews towards Maya versus Photoshop and 3dsmax, I would consider a NVIDIA GeForce 7950GT for about $50 more than the ATI deal...Why? Because NVIDIA implements OpenGL better than ATI. It's faster and more stable in professional apps than ATI's. If she's doing editing on complex scenes, you may want to consider a Quadro as they are about 3 times faster than either ATI or NVIDIA consumer level cards. But they are prohibitively expensive.
January 6, 2007 3:10:01 PM
Well... why get the xeons? Lower power consumption, lower voltage, and thus they run slightly cooler than their desktop counterparts. Now... the TDP is the same... but believe me... xeons run just a little bit cooler.
@ I_Love_Tacos...
I was actually referring to the cheaper DP xeons... because those have quad-channel RAM whereas the Xeon 30xx series only run dual-channel, although they are compatible with desktop boards as opposed to DP boards.
January 6, 2007 5:41:37 PM
I will tell you that for video editing you, all that say the xeon is a bad choice, you want a server cpu. They are far more durable and last londer than the regular conroes, and are worth the extra money. As for the dual channel memory, I wouldn't worry about the difference between the two too much, but that is something to consider. But if you get an older xeon, then amd is the way to go with opteron, those far outperform any older xeons without the core 2 arch
And as for the 7950, I guess nvidia might be the better choice for video editing, but the xt is a far more powerful card, and the quadros are way too expensive to be worth it. You might as well get sli gtxs instead for the dx10 support, or crossfire r600, because there is no way in hell I will recommend a quadro because of the price and how weak the cards are for anything but editing. Plus, the difference between the xt and the gt for editing isn't too much, so I'd go with the better, cheaper card on this one. Otherwise I'd say 7600gt all the way, cheap card that is powerful, and will allow for a nice dx10 upgrade in the future
I was actually referring to the like Xeon 5130s or something... two of those with 2GB of RAM (4x512) isn't a bad setup with a cheap Supermicro mobo.
January 6, 2007 6:57:10 PM
I've replaced lots of components in my computers I've built over time because they broke: hard disks, cdrom units, memory, heck...even the motherboard once, but never the cpu. They don't brake. I still think the arguments for durability and running cooler don't account for much, especially when you have to pay a $50 premium. E6600 run very cool anyway and they are durable.
And about 1950xt versus 7950gt. "Far" is not what I would call the difference in performance between these two. "Slight" might be a better word. Yes, physically 1950xt is better than 7950gt, and the price difference should stop the argument. Although, I would venture in pointing to a couple of facts. 1950xt is faster in new games whith heavy pixel shading. But in OpenGL apps, I wouldn't be surprised if 7950gt is actually faster than 1950xt. People just don't run Specviewperf when doing reviews for consumer/gaming video cards...But you can still get a feel for OpenGL performance if you look at the scores for OpenGL games versus DirectX ones, like Quake versus Oblivion for example. Still, the tests are heavily skewed because of shader operations.
Furthermore, is the robustness of OpenGL implementation on NVIDIA platform and drivers. I've seen an article that cited a spokesman for a group of small companies that were working in 3D graphics and he pretty much said that ATI consumer/gaming video cards are simply not suitable for running professional OpenGL applications. This is due to bugs and bad implementation. Lately I've seen them improving the OpenGL drivers, but they need to prove themselves, as opposed to more stable NVIDIA.
Maya is "THE" OpenGL application. To run it at full potential with complex scene editing, you need a professional card: Quadro or FireGL. When you are a professional and you need to do repeated and interactive tasks, the speed difference is profoundly noticeable. As opposed to rendering that is a process that is more "batch" and people are inclined to wait for, editing is very interactive and frustrating if it's slow. The OpenGL performance ratio for a Quadro card versus a gaming one is about 3. That would put a linear price scale to about $700 for a Quadro. But they are around $1500. If your earnings depend on it, you'll cough up the money. If not, then gaming cards are ok.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I'm not sure if it made the decision any easier really. :D
But I'll see what my friend says tonight and figure it out from there. If we go with the gaming card, I think we'll go for the 7950 or an 8800 if the price drops early Q2, just for the fact that Maya is her main app and they are better with OpenGL.
I'm still border line on the processor, but again, I'll see what prices do early Q2 and maybe we can go quad core then.
I'm not too worried about OC'ing anything. She'll most likely run everything at stock. She's not too bright when it comes to computers really. So a cheapy mobo and tons of RAM will be good. Maybe I can sneak her up to 4Gb even.
Thanks again.

Ending Moments
Willow memories waving in our minds, touching love
of childhood, softly singing of yesterday, filled
with pure innocence.
Beautiful sounds of nature emanating from the past,
teaching lessons of dignity, respect and love for
what is not ours.
Earth and it's habitat are only lent us for short
When we look back upon life we realize we've come a
long way and have only a short distance to traverse.
Ending our moments with memories of childhood we
soar into the beyond.

That doesn't make it any less abrupt. Eight Beavers have left the program, Oregon State announced today. They are: WR Jordan Bishop, WR Geno Munoz, CB Keynan Parker, LB Cade Cowdin, QB Jack Lomax, LB Zeke Sanders, LB Will Storey and WR Tyler Trosin. 2047 the staff of BF.C Fri, 29 Jun 2012 00:12:00 GMT 0 182 Oregon State oregonstate DAY 1: Spring football begins at Oregon State CORVALLIS -- While starters Ryan Katz, James Rodgers, and Jordan Bishop were among the viewing crowd, the first day of spring football wrapped up for the Oregon State football team in Truax with some big catches by Markus Wheaton and three interceptions, one from each quarterback. 2047 MARIA BRUGGERE Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:17:00 GMT 0 182 Oregon State oregonstate STILL MORE PHOTOS: Beavs at work CORVALLIS -- Oregon State's 2010 fall camp is just in its early stages but we've got plenty more photos from the BF.C lens, including Stephen Paea, Ryan Katz, Quizz, Sean Martin, Cody Vaz, Lance Mitchell, Sean Mannion, Feti and Uani Unga, Ryan McCants, Anthony Watkins, Jack Lomax, Jordan Bishop, Will Darkins, Markus Wheaton and more. 2047 CHAD STELLING Wed, 11 Aug 2010 21:59:00 GMT 1 182 Oregon State oregonstate OSU FALL FOCUS: Quarterbacks FOR THE FIRST time in several years, Oregon State enters fall camp with zero controversy at quarterback -- sophomore Ryan Katz took the reins in the spring and never looked back. There's plenty else to ponder as fall camp at OSU is now just three weeks away. A jam-packed rundown on all things Beaver Quarterbacks, right this way... 2047 DAN NORZ Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:53:00 GMT 0 182 Oregon State oregonstate ROUNDUP: Vaz in at No. 2 QB, Lalich off team CODY VAZ WAS already making a strong push to be the Beavers' No. 2 QB behind starter Ryan Katz this spring. With Peter Lalich no longer on the team, as Mike Riley announced today, Vaz assumes Oregon State's backup quarterback role headed into the summer months and fall camp. 2047 BARRY BOLTON Thu, 27 May 2010 19:44:00 GMT 0 182 Oregon State oregonstate MORE PHOTOS: Up close with Oregon State CORVALLIS -- What better way to get primed for the first official scrimmage of the OSU spring on Friday than to see more art of the Beavs in motion. Presented in living Technicolor and exclusively through the BF.C lens; Hardin, Lalich, Henry, Katz, Riley, Dilbeck, Stevenson, Kahut, Camp, Robinson, Quizz, McAndrews, Mitchell, Lomax, Tuimaunei, Catchings, Braun, Linnenkohl, Paea, Doctor plus more.. 2047 CHAD STELLING Fri, 16 Apr 2010 19:24:00 GMT 1 182 Oregon State oregonstate PHOTO ESSAY: Beavs buckle it up CORVALLIS--Outdoors and under a beautiful Willamette Valley sky, Oregon State approaches the midway point of the spring session.

Sophomore Ryan Katz looks set to take over, but he will have competition says head man Mike Riley. A strong spring at the position could set a solid foundation for the 2010 season, and perhaps another run at the Rose Bowl. 2047 DAN NORZ Mon, 15 Mar 2010 04:31:00 GMT 0 182 Oregon State oregonstate PRACTICE REPORT: The scout team look CORVALLIS -- Game week means scout teams. Any college coach will tell you, the better the "look" by the scout team during the week, the better prepared your 1's are come Saturday. Jack Lomax, the QB charged with operating the PSU run and shoot, was among those who had it goin' on during Tuesday's practice session. So too did Patrick Henderson and James Dockery. 2047 TRAVIS RICE Wed, 02 Sep 2009 03:05:00 GMT 1 182 Oregon State oregonstate FALL CAMP DAY 15: Game prep means season near CORVALLIS -- The double day practices for fall camp concluded Wednesday, and Oregon State took it rather easy in the evening session, going helmets only and mostly drilling on the schemes of Portland State while walking through their offense and defense with just over a week to go before the season begins. 2047 FRANK HOAGLIN Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:23:00 GMT 0 182 Oregon State oregonstate DAY 11: Philipp & Quizz offer a glimpse CORVALLIS -- In the second team session, true frosh offensive tackle Michael Philipp showed some great quicks off the line and offered a nice pull. And that opened up a big hole for sophomore running back Jacquizz Rodgers to burst through. A look into the present and the future, it seemed, all in one. And there was more pad crackin' to come. 2047 FRANK HOAGLIN Fri, 21 Aug 2009 23:01:00 GMT 1 182 Oregon State oregonstate FALL CAMP DAY 8: Extras Notebook CORVALLIS -- After tight ends Howard Croom and Brady Camp turned in some nice grabs earlier in the session on Tuesday, it was The Joe Halahuni Show in the final skelly session of Tuesday's practice. Plus, Kevan Walker turns in the Play of the Day and more. 2047 FRANK HOAGLIN Wed, 19 Aug 2009 07:09:00 GMT 1 182 Oregon State oregonstate FALL CAMP DAY 6: Extras Notebook; AM session CORVALLIS -- O-line coach Mike Cavanaugh has done some stellar work during his time in Corvallis, from sending Beaver hosses onto the pros to developing underclassmen who then go win their battles against USC All-Americans. Still, not many would expect him to be in contention for a fall camp play of the day -- and yet there he was on Saturday morning.. 2047 TRAVIS RICE Sat, 15 Aug 2009 22:00:00 GMT 0 182 Oregon State oregonstate PHOTOS: Future Beavs at 62nd Les Schwab Bowl HILLSBORO -- Take a gander at 25 exclusive photographs from the BF.C lens of Jack Lomax (No. 7), Micah Hatfield (No. 1), John Braun (No. 77), Michael Beaton (No. 75), Mitch Singler (No. 23) and Levi Levasa (No. 27) in their final high school football game and just over a month before the new recruiting class is scheduled to set foot in Corvallis. 2047 DAN NORZ Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:16:00 GMT 1 182 Oregon State oregonstate LSB: Lomax, Singler shine HILLSBORO -- The six future Oregon State football players all turned in solid performances Saturday in Hillsboro at the 62nd annual Les Schwab Bowl.

Fortunately the rain held back as the North defeated the South 32-14. Fifty-two percent of the points were scored by players set to join OSU's football team in August. Here's a comprehensive, blow-by-blow account of the 62nd Les Schwab Bowl with an eye toward the Beaver recruits. 2047 DAN NORZ Sun, 21 Jun 2009 06:28:00 GMT 1 182 Oregon State oregonstate Four future Beavers set for Les Schwab Bowl IF YOU ARE willing to brave the expected soggy weather conditions, you can catch four soon to be Oregon State football players in the Les Schwab Bowl tonight in Hillsboro, OR. 2047 Staff of BF.C Sat, 20 Jun 2009 11:30:00 GMT 0 182 Oregon State oregonstate The OSU '09 class: The sleepers A WHOLE LOT of Oregon State gridiron stars have come from this category over the years. In the '09 class, these are some who went under the radar and were not heavily recruited. But after some seasoning in the OSU system, a number of these athletes could be huge contributors for the Beavs. Mike Riley and staff have proven to be particularly adept at identifying and signing these types of athletes. 2047 DAN NORZ Fri, 13 Feb 2009 18:56:00 GMT 1 182 Oregon State oregonstate LOMAX/HATFIELD: Next great Oregonians at OSU? THE OSU FOOTBALL record books feature prominently homegrown athletes from the Beaver State. Indeed, Derek Anderson left with most of the passing records, Mike Hass most of the receiving marks, Bill Swancutt set several records on D.

Okay, you said you wanted a review on the forum and don't worry, I'm not going to flame you. Please accept this in the spirit it's intended - that is, to try to be helpful.
Your spelling and grammar is pretty poor. Everyone gets spelling wrong occasionally, and it's worse if you use a spelling that actually makes another word (eg piece and peace), as no spell checker will pick it up. But seriously, if you’re not using Word (or something similar), you really should find an online spelling and grammar checker. I know some people will tell you that ‘it doesn’t matter’ but it does, it really does. It is the main reason why people get ratings like ‘Trainwreck’ or ‘Illiterate’.
I’m not for a moment suggesting that you are, just that you need to take a little more care over the content. If it’s hard to follow, most people won’t try to. Your ideas are interesting, but your spelling and grammar is letting you down – it really does make reading difficult.
Also, try to set it out so that it’s more clear when there is description or people are speaking and who is speaking – a separate line for each (with occasional gaps) works well.
There are people on the forum offering their services as Beta Readers. You might do well to find one and hopefully they will help you to get past the problems so that people can actually see the plot – which I believe is worth seeing.
I wish you lots of luck, because it would be a shame for good ideas to go unnoticed because the stories are too difficult to read and really get in to.

Registration of food facilities with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been a requirement for almost a decade. Since the passage of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness Response Act on June 12, 2002, facilities engaged in manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding food for consumption in the United States have been required to register with FDA in order to provide the agency with information on the origin and distribution of food and feed products, thereby aiding in the detection and quick response to actual or potential threats to the U.S. food supply.
Starting next week, however, all food facilities required to register with FDA must begin biennial re-registration to comply with the provisions of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Signed into law on January 4, 2011, FSMA now requires that food facilities re-register every 2 years with FDA, during the period beginning on October 1 and ending on December 31 in even numbered years. The first registration renewal cycle under FSMA starts and Monday, October 1 and will continue until Monday, December 31, 2012. Even if a food facility is already registered with FDA, the facility is still obligated to renew registrations during the October 1-December 1 timeframe.
When registering, it is important for food facility representatives to remember that additional information is now required to accompany the registrations under FSMA. Specifically, registrations must contain the e-mail address for the contact person of the facility, or for a foreign facility, the email address of the U.S. agent for the facility, and an assurance that FDA will be permitted to inspect the facility at the times and in the manner permitted by the FD&C Act. Additionally, if determined necessary by FDA, registrations are required to contain information regarding other applicable food categories, as determined appropriate by FDA, for foods manufactured, processed, packed, or held at registering facilities.
On a related note, under FSMA, the FDA is now, for the first time, explicitly granted the authority to suspend the registration of a food facility in certain circumstances involving food manufactured, processed, packed, received or held by a registered facility that has a reasonable probability of causing serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals. FDA did not previously have a process for suspending the registration of a food facility in such circumstances. If the FDA were to exercise this authority and suspend the registration of a food facility, that facility would be prohibited from introducing any food into the stream of commerce in the U.S., including importing or exporting food into the U.S.
Make sure to start submitting your registrations on Monday! To register, update, or renew a registration, food facilities must submit the paper Form 3537 by mail or fax or register online at FDA encourages online registration as the least costly, quickest, and most efficient means for food facility registration.
Oregon to Adopt 2009 FDA Food Code
Update on the Rojak Case
The report links the illnesses to Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which in turn got into the rojak by having raw cuttlefish on an upper shelf of a refrigerator, which dripped into the gravy on the lower shelf of the refrigerator. Needless to say, this is a poor food handling practice. The stall remains closed and prosecution is likely.
The question that has not been answered is why the deaths occurred. According to the FDA, cases linked to vibrio are usually "mild or moderate" and only in rare cases even require hospitalization. Here, there were not only significant numbers of hospitalizations, but two deaths and an apparent miscarriage. The Singapore officials await the coroner's report on the deaths to find out why Ordinarily, vibrio causes death (about 7 a year in the US) only when there are other medical conditions present

Animal welfare discussion at California meeting
The California State Board of Food and Agriculture will address farm animal welfare at its meeting on Wednesday, July 27. The meeting will be held from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the California Department of Food and Agriculture, 1220 N Street - Main Auditorium, Sacramento, CA 95814.
"Farm animal welfare is a priority for farmers and plays an important and visible role on the farm," said CDFA Secretary Karen Ross. "Consumers should be aware that farmers and ranchers care about their animals and promote practices that ensure good animal management."
Consumer interest and awareness on animal welfare issues continues to rise. The state board's focus on farm animal welfare will allow California's agricultural organizations and other stakeholders' viewpoints to be heard, providing a better understanding of the initiatives, protocols and partnerships that have been developed to address the topic.
Scheduled speakers for the meeting include: Dr. Annette Whiteford, California State Veterinarian; Margaret Wittenberg, Whole Foods Markets; Melvin Coleman, Jr., Niman Ranch; Jennifer Fearing , the Humane Society of the United States; and Robert Shipley, California Poultry Federation. Additional invited speakers include representatives from the California Farm Bureau Federation, Center for Food Integrity, California Cattlemen's Association, Association of California Egg Farmers, and the California Dairy Quality Assurance Program.
"Consumers have a great interest in knowing where our food comes from, how it is produced, and how it is delivered to our table," said Craig McNamara, president of the California State Board of Food and Agriculture. "As farmers, we need to tell our story and demonstrate the great care and dedication we not only place in animal welfare, but in all of production agriculture."
The California State Board of Food and Agriculture advises the Governor and CDFA Secretary. The state board conducts forums that bring together local, state, and federal government officials, agricultural representatives, and citizens to discuss current issues of concern to California agriculture.

The 2011 Les Schwab Invitational boys basketball tournament slam dunk contest was held Tuesday afternoon, and the dunkers did not disappoint.
The annual event featured athletes from Oregon high schools as well as national basketball powers Jack Yates HS (Houston, Texas) and Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) whose teams are competing this week at the tournament.
Some notable dunks included a between-the-legs jam, a dunker leaping over two teammates and a catch-and-dunk of a bounce pass from the gym's second floor.
Check out photos from the event:

PREVIEW: WICB Under 15 Round III
BASSETERRE, St Kitts – It’s close at the top, close in the middle, and close at the bottom. That’s how the WICB Under 15 Table looks heading into Round III of the tournament.
After two rounds of matches, the Windward Islands and Barbados continue the fight for the Championship, but they both have very little competition from other four teams.
After another come-from-behind win, the Windwards leapfrogged Barbados for the first spot, with 34 points. They have little time to relax though as Barbados also won their match against Guyana and closely trail on 31.5 points. The Windwards lead Barbados courtesy a higher number of bowling bonus points.
Live online text updates of WICB Under 15 Round III
Round II: Barbados, Windwards race to 2nd win
Round I: Barbados, Windwards win but T&T draw
Go some way down, and then you’ll see Trinidad and Tobago and the Leeward Islands in a mid-table rumble. Both are locked on 16 points after two rounds of matches. And both played each other in Round I.
After seemingly heading for an outright win against T&T in the first round, the Leeward Islands took a detour after losing late wickets. Both teams settled for a draw, with T&T getting first innings points.
The result was no different for the Leewards in Round II, but they came much closer to defeating Jamaica. After setting their opponents 243 to win, the Leeward Islands restricted Jamaica to 122/8 before time was called.
Trinidad and Tobago squandered their advantage against the Windwards in the second round after they controlled the match for much of the two days. The “Trinis” appeared to have learnt little from their Guyanese counterpart after allowing the Windwards to come from behind for the second time in the tournament to steal victory. After setting their opponents 177 to win, T&T could not strict the Windwards and lost by four wickets.
If both teams [T&T and the Leewards] are to start seriously competing for the Championships, they will feel they need a strong performance in this round to catch up with the top two.
At the bottom of the table, Guyana and Jamaica continue to struggle in the 2012 Tournament, and they remain winless.
Guyana only claimed four first innings points against the Windwards in the first round before they lost the match. League-leaders, Barbados, piled more woes on the Guyanese in the second round when they defeated them by eight wickets. Tied with their bowling points achieved, Guyana sits just two points above sixth-placed Jamaica.
With two rounds gone, many would have been expecting Jamaica to be competing at the top of the table for the Championship. Instead, the Reggae Boyz has shocked the tournament after being winless in their first two matches. They have gathered just 5.5 points from both rounds. In the first round, they were defeated by Barbados by 9 wickets and then suffered a first innings loss at the hands of the Leewards in the second round.
There task won’t get any easier when Round III begins tomorrow, as they taken on Trinidad and Tobago who have been playing some good cricket. That match will take place at Molineaux.
At Warner Park, there will be another crucial match when the Leeward Islands and Guyana aim to get their campaign back on track.
But all eyes will be on Conaree, when both teams on top of the table face off. The Windward Islands will look to extend their slim lead against Barbados who is eager to take back top spot. All matches get going (weather permitting) at 9:30AM Atlantic Standard Time.
WICB Under 15 Round III Schedule of Matches:
Barbados v Windward Islands – Conaree
Jamaica v Trinidad & Tobago – Molineaux
Guyana v Leeward Islands – Warner Park
Points Standing after Round II
Windward Islands - (24 Win + 10 Bowling) = 34
Barbados - (24 Win + 7.5 Bowling) = 31.5
Trinidad & Tobago - (10 + 6 Bowling) = 16
Leeward Islands - (9 + 7 Bowling) = 16
Guyana - (4 + 3.5 Bowling) = 7.5
Jamaica - (3 + 2.5 Bowling) = 5.5

The economics of DDA accountsIf some financial institutions find it difficult to grow profits from their DDA business, it’s probably because of the column of numbers listed here. The typical bank or credit union spends $150 to $200 to acquire a DDA account customer. About 12-15% of those customers will turn over every year, and only 40% of them will be profitable.
But as a recent study by StrategyCorps found, some customers will be extremely profitable, contributing $1,650 on average annually to the institution.
Institutions clearly need to be able to distinguish profitable customers from unprofitable ones as quickly as possible, preferably at account opening. Then they can segment accounts and cross-sell appropriate products and services to maximize profits while minimizing risks and losses.
Performing this type of analysis in real time is beyond the capabilities of many institutions’ account-screening and identity-verification services. But new services, which can be rapidly deployed and integrated into branch operations, are available to help institutions make these critical decisions in real time and with a high degree of confidence.

Is there anything greater than hearing Van Morrison on the radio? Oh damn. I started that like one of those lame columns Larry King does, where he has non-sequitars about the stupidest stuff. He'll have a sentence that reads: Is there a better actor alive than Meryl Streep? Why is it when you buy pizza by the slice, it always tastes better?
Now, here I am starting something with a line like that about Van Morrison. But, everyday that I'm in my car, going thru the radio stations (sure, I listen to CDs too, but it's more fun not knowing what song will come on next). I'll always hear Brown Eyed Girl on the classic rock or oldies stations. And after seeing countless cover bands in bars, I still haven't gotten tired of it. Then, there's Moondance. This might be the best song ever recorded (sorry Stairway to Heaven fans). It blends poetry, jazz, and rock. It's a thing of beauty. Sometimes a radio station will surprise me, and play Crazy Love, Into the Mystic, or Tupelo Honey. Also beautiful ballads. Then, there's some uptempo songs like Wild Nights, Domino, Blue Money and from his old days fronting the band THEM, you have Baby Please Don't Go, Here Comes the Night, and if you're lucky, you hear Mystic Eyes. What a riff that song has. I remember in 9th grade talking about Van Morrison with a friend, and a substitute teacher said, "Check out his song TB Sheets. It's long, but very bizarre; about someone dying of tuberculoses."
I remember in 6th grade arguing with a kid on the playground about which rock song that mentions a womans name is the best. My friend said Jenny Jenny. I said My Sharona. Another kid said Mandy by Barry Manilow. I think he ended up getting his head dunked into the toilet. A teacher overheard us and said "Gloria is a thousand times better than any of those songs." I realize now, he was right.
I met a guy at a mansion in Rancho Santa Fe that is from Ireland, and knows Van. He tells me the guy has a lot of mental issues. I knew that when I read an interview in Rolling Stone, in which he ran out of the pub and the reporter had to literally chase him down. Before the interview started. But, as I told my friends that couldn't believe how much I love the other Morrison (Jim), when they call him a druggie loser...I don't care what they did on their off time. I like the songs they created. If they are (were) drunken jerks to their friends, well, I'm glad I'm just listening to them on the radio, and not listening to their drunken blather in a pub.
Josh Board Sept. 13, 2007 @ 1:56 a.m.
Jay, Jay, Jay. How could you list all those Beatles songs, and the GNR song My Michelle, without listing the Beatles "Michelle"? Have you gone mad? And, Bow Wow Wow is my favorite 80s band. But, you can't say "I Want Candy" is by them, when they covered it. Shame on you. As a music lover yourself, you know that's a no-no.

Things you only know if you're not at work
The concept of lunch oscillates wildly
You know where you are with an office lunch - you're in a reputable sandwich vendor's, or you're in an eatery where the moral decrepitude of doing an evening thing in the day is offset by the natural one- or, at a stretch, two-hour parameter.
You can't have sandwiches at home, since they are the quintessential mobile foodstuff - it would be like having a sleeping bag instead of a duvet on your own bed, or like using a mini-iron instead of a regular one. So you have to concoct a home-made thing, being at home, but at the same time cooking for yourself alone would be madness, so the things have to pre-exist in edible form.
On good-fridge days, this will end up tasting a lot like a regular sandwich you'd get in a shop, only with the ingredients eaten in a weird order (you know, bread first, then the riot of delicious prepared meats, then the dip frenzy - until a sandwich is actually closed, the idea of putting all the components into your mouth at once feels unnatural and greedy). On bad-fridge days, meanwhile, it will be like the snack bar of an arctic communist regime - tinned mackerel, ancient gherkins and pinenuts you have to check individually for weevils.
Restaurants serve us the same food they serve you; the only trouble is, we don't know when to go home.

Dedication leads to success
About the author
Brent Chapman
Brent Chapman
Brent Chapman is the 2012 Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year, and 4-time winner in B.A.S.S. tournaments.
We just returned from a ski trip to Colorado. Bobbi and I have always enjoyed skiing, but this was the first time the kids really got to ski seriously. We were in Keystone, Colorado with Thomas and Annie Brown, the owners of Pegetables, one of my sponsors. We also got to visit with the people at TroKar and Wright & McGill before we headed home.
One thing I noticed while on this trip was that successful people in any walk of life are detail oriented and dedicated to what they do. While on the mountain I noticed that Thomas was replying to emails and handling business well before hitting the slopes and back at it late into the night after skiing all day. Plus, he was talking to engineering, answering emails and working with distribution and sales from the ski lift, between runs and from the lodge during our brief pit stops.
I couldn't help but think of the dedication and passion it takes for him to run his business successfully. It's not much different than the way anglers approach both tournaments and the business side of being a professional angler. The people who are most dedicated and passionate about what they do will rise to the top in business or in fishing.

After the ski trip we headed down the mountain to Eagle Claw and TroKar. We saw how they make the hooks right here in the USA. Even if someone won the lottery they couldn't buy the machines to make hooks. These machines are engineered and built from the ground up right there in Colorado. It's really an impressive sight to see.
One thing that caught my eye was the boxes of hooks that were off to the side. We are talking hundreds of hooks in each box. I had to ask what was special about those hooks, and what I found out was these were the hooks that were deemed "bad." I took a good close look at quite a few of them and couldn't find anything wrong with even one of them. I fish for a living and rely on hooks heavily to help pay the bills, and I would have used every hook I picked up. Their attention to detail is exactly why I can rely on their hooks without hesitation on every cast I make all season long.
Then I started to think about the different guys I fish with and against on tour. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that the successful anglers are just like the successful businesses. They are all very detailed and make the smallest adjustments —adjustments most anglers would never waste the time to make —and those minor details make the difference between success and failure at the top level of our sport.
This will be my last blog for 2012, and I hope that each of you had a great Christmas and that 2013 is a fantastic year for you. I'm excited about 2013 and kicking the season off in just a few weeks at Grand Lake O' the Cherokees in Oklahoma. See you in the New Year!

Women Deliver Conference: Rich Women vs. Poor
“Pregnancy is not natural,” said Frances Kissling, the former head of Catholics for Choice.
Abortion advocates organized Women Deliver to grow their coalition and motivate people to demand government-guaranteed access to contraception and abortion. The conference takes place as the U.N. is deciding what will be included in the new development goals to come after the Millennium Development Goals.
The first Women Deliver in 2007 presented family planning and abortion as the solution to reduce deaths from pregnancy and childbirth. The second conference in 2010 ran into trouble when new research showed the annual number of maternal deaths is far less than the estimated 536,000.
Melinda Gates

Meanwhile, Melinda Gates detailed the progress of her multi-billion dollar family planning campaign on Women Deliver’s main stage. Government officials recounted how their countries have fulfilled their pledges made at last year’s Summit.
Senegal is stocking village clinics’ empty shelves with various forms of contraceptives. Philippines passed a controversial reproductive health bill. Though it is being challenged, the government bought supplies before the Supreme Court rules in mid-June.

Once again, I give you the same thing to think about: A satanic sacrifice doesn’t have to be willing. He doesn’t even have to be aware of what’s happening or why. I suspect the same may be true of the one “offering” the sacrifice. Pray the Rosary for the salvation of these benighted souls.

It is sad how some humans degrade and disregard other human beings, because they have the power and the money to do so. Just think what they could be doing for their fellows brothers and sisters lives if they were willing to do God’s work with their hands and hearts.

It’s attitudes like that which are killing Europe off. The Danes aren’t replacing themselves, but their Turkish guest workers are.

And what’s worse is that they foisted off requests for clean water, menstrual hygiene, and proper hospital care for women who want to have children in order to push their agenda. It’s sad that their are cultural taboos against hospitals, but I can’t help wondering if the suspicions stem at least in part from all the “reproductive rights” mantra, which the majority of the inhabitants of the 3rd world don’t want.
If Princess Mary, Melinda Gates, & Company were deprived of water, maxi pads, and hospitals for any significant length of time, they’d soon see what’s REALLY primary when it comes to helping impoverished women. That’s harsh, I know, but perhaps at this point, any gentler wake-up call would be ineffective.

San Diego Chargers So Far: Boom or Bust?

San Diego Chargers So Far: Boom or Bust?
This year's build up to the new NFL season created a distinct euphoria around the San Diego Chargers, with many claiming that they are destined for the playoffs and, potentially, Super Bowl glory. But, so far, that has failed to materialize, with the Chargers losing their first two games.
Last season, when the Bolts were plagued by injuries (TE Antonio Gates, RB LaDainian Tomlinson, and QB Philip Rivers to name a few), they still managed an 11-5 season and a playoff journey culminating in an AFC title defeat at the hands the New England Patriots.
Over the summer the combination of the injured players regaining fitness, some promising draft picks, and a 3-1 preseason all gave hope to all Chargers fans. These things served only to bolster the high opinions many commentators had of what seemed to be a polished San Diego outfit.
However, only a week into the new season, it was revealed that Pro Bowl outside linebacker Shawne Merriman had suffered a season-ending knee ligament injury that immediately dented the potency of the Chargers defense.
Although the loss of Merriman is a loss to the Chargers defense, they still retain a number of high caliber players on their depth chart, including Antonio Cromartie, Quentin Jammer, Luis Castillo, and Shaun Phillips. These players have the potential to cripple some of the best running and passing offenses in the league.
But this potential is yet to show, as both of the losses this season have come from last-minute defensive errors that have cost them the game. And although some fans or critics will say that the defeat to the Denver Broncos was a result of poor referee decisions, as a devout Chargers fan even I cannot defend the fact that after the referees decision the defense failed to defend the TD and then the humiliating two-point conversion that won the game.
Whilst the defense may be facing some early season jitters, the offense, for the most part, is functioning well under the command of a seemingly revitalized Phillip Rivers.
After the Super Bowl it seemed that in the 2004 draft the Chargers had lost a winning QB in Eli Manning (First overall pick by the Chargers, but traded to the Giants after he refused to sign with San Diego), but after knee surgery at the end of the '07 season Rivers seems to be showing signs of the form that took him to the College Senior Bowl in 2003.
This, combined with wideouts Chris Chambers and Vincent Jackson and the fitness of Pro Bowl TE Antonio Gates, has vastly improved the potential of the Chargers' passing game.
Pivotal to the Chargers' game plan, of course, is LaDainian Tomlinson; the record holding Pro Bowl running back has run for over 1,200 yards and made over 50 receptions in each of his seven seasons in San Diego. However, last season LT was blighted with an injury in the playoffs that restricted him to only two carries against the Patriots in the AFC title game.
LT failed to take part in the 2008 preseason due to this injury, but was fully fit for the start of the regular season; or so it seemed. It has now emerged that in week one against the Carolina Panthers, LT suffered a toe injury which limited him in week two. Indications are that it will do so again against the Jets on Monday night, leaving backup Darren Sproles carrying the load.
Sproles, having posted a record game with 125 yards and two TD's might not be such a bad choice, but it will undoubtedly dent the team's confidence.
So the looming question is, does this set the tone for the rest of the season for the San Diego Chargers? Are they, with one of the best teams in the league on paper, going to falter yet again and fail to live up to the hype?
Personally I think what we have seen so far is merely a glimmer of the team's true potential. Once they turn the page on these controversial losses and iron out the mistakes that are proving to be so costly, we will see them rebuild their campaign and most likely find themselves in the playoffs in a position to go all the way.
Let's all just hope that lightning cant strike twice—oh wait it already has—well, keep your fingers crossed for week three then!

how many calories should you burn when you work out?
Quote | Reply
I just did my first good workout in a while at the gym here at school. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill, 10 minutes on the bike and 10 minutes lifting some weights. In all I burned 426 calories today. Is this a good number or should I burn more calories in a workout. Also, if I am burning this many calories and consuming about 1800-2000 calories a day should I up my calorie intake or should I leave it the same?

For all it's worth, my tuppence:
There is no "good number" without more information: how old are you, how much do you weigh, how long have you been working out, what are your goals, etc., etc.?
As to how many calories you should consume: if 1,800 calories are your suggested intake without exercise, you will need to add the calories burnt.
Sometimes I burn 500, sometimes I burn close to 1,000. It's really the intensity and the length of time that you are working out that's most important. :) Some of "them" say 30 minutes most days; some say an hour most days of cardio, and then weight training three times per week.
I don't think its a matter of calories but a matter of intensity and what your goals are. Personally I shoot for 600 a day in calories burnt. I excercise usually twice a day. If you want to slim down then cardio is the best way to go. Shoot for at least 30 minutes in a zone. This can be anywhere from a low "fat burn" zone or the highest anorobic zone. You are going to burn more calories the higher your intensity.
If your basic met rate says to eat 2000 calories and you want to lose weight then you need to consume 1500 calories and then you can add what ever excercise calories to that 1500
There is no set amount of calories you should burn. Do what you feel comfortable.
If 1800 is your current weight loss amount (maintenance calories - deficit), and you are burning 400 of that off at the gym, your current intake is only 1400, making a deficit of 900+.
The best advice I can give is make sure that your deficit at the end of the day is between 500 and 800 calories. This would be your standard daily burning calories + the calories you burn at the gym (regardless of amount) should be 500-800 higher than the entire amount of calories you eat in a day.
If you are a math person:
Standard Burn + Gym burn > Calorie intake
my weight is 197 i am 5'2 i want to loose weight i try to take in from 1400- 1800 per day and try to burn about 500 calories per day. so far it has not worked. how can i get the best result?
I only burn about 250-300 calories for a 30 minute workout.
I basically do my own type of workout involving jumping rope, jumping jacks, lunges, squats, etc.

Yes the do have a 30 day trial. However, their $99 promo is only good until Christmas and I foolishly believed that support for the camera would include the kit lens.
Clearly I should have been more cautious in dealing with DxO.

Great time on the Sky!
Sail Date: February 2009
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Miami
We went on the 3 night Sky cruise (Feb 20-23,2009)for a combined DH birthday and our anniversary. The cruise went out of Miami. Our taxi dropped us off out front, gave bags to the porter and walked right in at 11am. We were on the ship by 11:20am. There are signs in the elevators and when you walk on the ship telling you no rooms are ready until 2pm. They had doors closed on each hallway to keep you out until then. At exactly 2pm the Captain announced rooms were ready. So, plan your carry-on with this in mind. We thought the ship was decorated nicely with lots of color. I had read on Cruise Critic how some people thought the artificial flowers everywhere were tacky, I thought they looked fine. I had purchased the Anniversary package ($79) and the Bday decorations($30) for the room. The streamers,balloons and cake were in the room when we arrived. The wine, strawberries and paper for the anniv. package arrived around 3pm. We used the coupon for Le Bistro the 1st night. The food More was great. I had lamb chops and hubby had chicken. We are not wine drinkers usually, but I enjoyed the white wine that came with the anniv. package. We were given a cake and the waiters sang a song to us at the end of the meal. Very nice...
We purchased the Segway excursion and were told to meet beside the gangway at 8:15am when we arrived in Nassau. We were the only ones who booked the tour. The Segways were fun, but I was disappointed in where we were taken to ride them. I thought we would be in a garden with scenery. You are actually in the woods driving on bumpy and rocky trails with trees,trees and more trees. The guide was very nice,though. We were supposed to be in Nassau until 6pm. They were doing repairs and we were told they needed more time. The Captain made an announcement at 6pm that we would be staying until 2am. All onboard activities would go on as planned. The White Hot party was a lot of fun.
Sunday was our day on Great Stirrup Cay.I had read on here that it was usually very crowded and to go to the right side of the beach when you get off the tender. The main beach is small and crowded but you could find a quiet area if you tried. We liked the island and enjoyed the clear water. You didn't even need a snorkel. I was able to see fish and a squid just by walking out to deeper water. I did see something disturbing while sitting at a picnic table next to a drink stand. I watched a worker bring back a helmet with empty beer bottles and a used cup with a lid. Another worker threw the bottles away but took the lid off of the cup, sprayed it out with the garden hose and put it with the clean cups.Gross... We ate in the Palace dining room Sunday. I had pork loin and DH had the Salmon. We were told by our anniv. package that between 5:30-6pm we would receive our canapes. We got to the room around 8pm and no canapes. I called room service and the guy did not know what I was talking about. He said he would have to talk to his Supervisor and would call us back. He never called us back and at this point it was too late to worry with. Before we disembarked my DH said he wanted to talk to the desk and let them know we didn't receive the canapes from our package. The staff at the desk told my Dh that they tried to deliver them in the evening but we had our Do Not Disturb out so they took them back. THat was not true and we feel that room service made that up to keep from getting in trouble for not delivering them. No big deal...though.
We have cruised on Carnival twice and Princess once. I have to say this was our favorite cruise. Short and sweet..3 nights was perfect. We would definitely cruise NCL again. We found the staff to be very nice and the food fantastic. We though Tim the comedian was hilarious, don't miss his shows. Less

Jennings stands by pitch selection vs. Puig
Jennings stands by pitch selection vs. Puig
Jennings stands by pitch selection vs. Puig
MIAMI -- After rethinking and reviewing on video, Dan Jennings has no regrets about the pitch or the location. What he'd like to reverse is the result.
Jennings surrendered the game-changing home run to Yasiel Puig to lead off the eighth inning on Tuesday night.
Puig, who didn't start the game, took a low, 90-mph fastball, and deposited it just far enough to clear the wall in left-center at Marlins Park. The drive snapped a tie, and the Dodgers went on to a 6-4 win over Miami.
"In a tie ballgame, as a pitcher, you're trying to keep the ball and keep it in the ballpark," Jennings said. "I threw a pitch that was down in the bottom of the zone. I still stand by the pitch."
The Miami lefty had not allowed a home run all season. Puig's blast snapped Jennings' 30-inning streak.
Puig is a notoriously aggressive hitter. He's known for swinging at first pitches. When he puts them in play, he is extremely dangerous.
The Dodgers rookie outfielder is batting .630 with five homers when he puts the first pitch in play, entering Wednesday night.
"It's a tough situation," Jennings said. "I know he did it [Tuesday] and he did it the day before. He swings at first pitches. I understand that. You learn from your mistakes."
The fact that Puig didn't start the game and he delivered on the first pitch he saw added to the drama.
"When you talk about low-ball hitters in the game, there are not a ton of them," Jennings said. "But some of the best hitters are. You think, 'Where do you try to throw a low-ball hitter?' You still try to keep the ball down.
"I still stand by the pitch. I feel I threw the ball well. I was one pitch away from having a great outing. Maybe we go extras. Who knows?"
Jennings was asked to go more than one inning on Tuesday because the bullpen is a bit thin.
Chad Qualls was unavailable due to a tight back. He did some throwing on flat ground on Wednesday. A.J. Ramos had warmed up in the bullpen and was ready to take the mound in the eighth inning, had Miami scored in the bottom of the seventh.
The frustrating part for Jennings is he threw what he felt was a quality pitch, but he was not rewarded.
"I've gone back over it, I looked at it," the reliever said. "I like the pitch. That happens. That's why this game is so hard sometimes. You make good pitches, and they get hit. I tip my hat to him a little bit. That was a heck of a swing."

IS Associates Presents Distinguished Executive Leadership Award
Los Angeles — UCLA Anderson School of Management's IS Associates has selected health care executive Leonard Schaeffer as the 2003 recipient of its exalted Information Systems Associate Executive Leadership Award. As chief executive officer of WellPoint, the nation's second largest health insurer, Schaeffer has endeavored to and succeeded in improving the health status for a majority of Californians.
The IS Associates Executive Leadership Award is an annual honor that recognizes a senior executive's leadership in the exceptional application of information technology within an organization. IS Associates, a part of UCLA Anderson for more than 20 years, has conducted cutting-edge research and education in information systems and has contributed considerable intellectual capital in the area to Southern California's rich body of information systems professionals.
"We're pleased to honor Leonard Schaeffer for his success in implementing information technology solutions that improve access to and quality of health care for millions of Californians," said Bruce Willison, dean of UCLA Anderson. "His leadership offers an inspiring example for others to follow."
Schaeffer went out on a limb in 1992 and organized a Blue Cross plan that was customer-focused. While most other Blue Cross plans are organized around product and function, WellPoint revitalized itself through Schaeffer's efforts and by 1996, had established two independent foundations - The California Endowment and the California HealthCare Foundation.
WellPoint is a different health insurance company model for numerous reasons. Schaeffer and his associates, understanding that too much vital knowledge was previously only on paper, have capitalized on advances in information sciences and technology to provide better value through choice-based products, significant service enhancement, simplified (paperless) transactions and better access to cost and quality information.
The company weaves its unique perspective on technology into its primary goals. WellPoint aims to capitalize on technology as a competitive advantage. In its business strategies, the company encourages the use of technology as a service, cost and advantage that achieves rapid and effective responses to customers' ever-changing needs.
The inability of health plans to pay in a timely manner has been a key source of concern over the years. Under Schaeffer's guidance, WellPoint dared to be different, reminding others how important its members and hospital and physician customers really are. While Wall Street has held on to the myth that health plans should delay payment, WellPoint has coupled human and financial capital with information technology to explain why they should and will pay claims faster. Orderly pay improves its relationships with hospitals and physicians in its network, and it makes for more timely data for actuarial analysis. Finally, WellPoint lowers its administrative costs by using technology to collect and process claims, and reduces the numbers of duplicate bills.
Another information systems initiative under WellPoint's belt is the Subimo and Consumer Cost Guide. The company partnered with Subimo to provide members with easily accessible, quality information that compares hospitals in their communities. Using the guide, members can be the architects of their own care - comparing in-patient care, overall safety standards and reputations. In addition, members can contrast the number of procedures done at each facility, the complication rate, the infection rate, as well as the physician staffing within the ICU.
Clearly deserving of this award, Schaeffer shows no signs of slowing down in the IT arena. WellPoint plans to further implement IT solutions in its efforts to be a better mediator between the company and its many constituents.
According to Schaeffer, only a large company with sustained investment in information technology can use its significant membership size to collect, aggregate and interpret huge amounts of data from multiple sources. By doing so, WellPoint plans to remain the insurance company role model that they've become.

Law cracks down locally on verifying citizen status
Commissioners look over new laws going into effect either immediately or the first of next year / Ashley Knight
A few state laws will go into effect next year.
One of them cracks down on businesses not conducting citizen verification.
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011 mandates all businesses to electronically verify the employment eligibility of U.S. and non-U.S. citizens.
"A vendor who does not provide us an affidavit that they're in compliance with these laws cannot purchase any goods from Dougherty County," says Dougherty County Administrator Richard Crowdis.
The law also adds more audits and annual reporting requirements.
The changes go into effect immediately.
Other laws include reducing the early voting period from 45 days to 21 days, changing the date of the general 2012 primary to July 31, 2012, and a conformance with streamlined sales tax agreement. Georgia's membership in this program will provide the state and local governments additional sales tax funds through collections from out-of-state retailers participating in the program.

Run Your Own Virtual Reality with OpenSim
By running OpenSim on your own server, you can create your own virtual world and even connect it to other virtual worlds.
Last month, I took you on a tour of Second Life and showed you some applications for it besides entertainment. This month, I explain how you can run your own virtual island using the Second Life client and the open-source 3-D application server software called OpenSimulator. OpenSimulator, or OpenSim for short, is a free (as in speech) implementation of a virtual world platform, utilizing the Second Life protocols. From its FAQ: “OpenSim is a platform for operating a virtual world and supports multiple independent regions connecting to a single centralized grid. This is somewhat similar to the Web, where people can run their own Web servers, tied together through the Internet. It can also be used to create a private grid, analogous to a private intranet.” In other words, OpenSim can be like a 3-D Apache server, enabling collaboration, entertainment and business without having to utilize a centralized service.
You don't need a beefy machine to run OpenSim. I've had a Pentium 4 with 1GB of RAM running a basic island for a little while, and it has supported eight concurrent logins without any trouble. If you have a more modern machine, you even can run OpenSim locally on the same machine as your Second Life client. I also have tested this configuration on my Core 2 Duo-equipped laptop, and it ran quite well.
The client is a much more demanding system than the server is. I hardly notice the server process when running this in “all-in-one” mode. As a matter of fact, one machine can support a number of sims (also known as regions). I have tested up to ten regions on a dual-core machine with 2GB of RAM. So long as there isn't crazy activity in one of the regions, they all have acceptable performance. This is similar to what Linden Labs does in its data centers—it runs its “openspace” regions at four regions per CPU core.
The folks over at OpenSim say that the best method for getting and running OpenSim is to build it from source, though they do offer nightly builds. OpenSim is written in C# and runs under Mono on Linux. Due to the high dependency on Mono, I'm assuming you are running Ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 (to get OpenSim running on other distros, please see the Build Instructions in the Resources section). Versions of Ubuntu earlier than 8.04 need to have Mono upgraded at least to version 1.9.1. (OpenSim will run under the 1.2.6 that ships with Ubuntu 8.04, but 1.9.1 is preferred for its better memory management.) The build process is well documented and straightforward, even for a ham-fisted guy like me.
Before you try it, please check the OpenSimulator Build Instructions link in the Resources section of this article, but here's how you build OpenSim on Ubuntu 8.04. This set of commands installs Mono and the necessary dependencies and libraries, gets the latest source from SVN and builds it:
sudo apt-get install subversion nant mono-gmcs \
libmono-microsoft8.0-cil \
libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil \
libgdiplus libmono-i18n2.0-cil ruby
svn co opensim
cd opensim
Once nant finishes running, that's it. OpenSim is ready to be configured and started. OpenSim can run in two modes: standalone and grid. Standalone OpenSim servers are islands unto themselves—self-contained and not dependent on any separate login managers or services. Grid mode is the more interesting mode, where multiple islands can be linked together into a cohesive virtual world. Second Life itself is an example of a bunch of regions running in grid mode, although there are other third-party grids now, such as OSGrid, DeepGrid and Openlife Grid.
Before you configure your OpenSim, you need to decide on the mode in which you will run. I recommend running your first sim in standalone mode to get the hang of the way things work. Once you understand standalone mode, you can set up another sim or convert your standalone sim to a grid-based sim, and either build your own network of sims or connect your sim to another grid altogether, like OSGrid. Configuring a grid server is beyond the scope of this article, but there is excellent documentation at the OpenSimulator Web site.
Configuring a basic standalone server couldn't be easier, as the server asks you several questions on first startup, and it builds the opensim.ini configuration file from that.
Another decision you need to make prior to configuring OpenSim is what database back end you want to run. For experimentation and light use in standalone mode, the default SQLite database is perfect. There are no special configuration settings to mess with and no external databases to set up. When you decide to graduate to grid mode, however, you probably will want to run the back end on MySQL. Configuring a MySQL back end also is beyond the scope of this article, but again, there is great documentation on this at the OpenSim Web site.
Let's get your first OpenSim up and running. All the compiled binaries will be in the opensim/bin directory. You either can run OpenSim from there or move them to a directory of your choice. If you choose to move them, ensure that you move the files under the opensim/bin directory recursively. Once you've got the binaries in place, you can start OpenSim simply by running mono ./OpenSim.exe from the directory in which you put the binaries. Once that command is executed, OpenSim goes to work, creating a bunch of standard “assets” and populating the SQLite database.
Next, you will see a prompt that asks you about the configuration of your server. It's actually safe to accept all the defaults if you just want to play with an OpenSim on the same machine as the client. Note that OpenSim's default is to listen on loopback (that is, localhost) only. If you don't put the IP address of your machine in the external hostname field, you won't be able to connect to your OpenSim instance from another machine. You definitely will need to deviate from the defaults if you want to have the client and server on different machines. You probably also will want to specify the Master Avatar first and last name as something other than the default. Here's an example:
21:45:34 - [CONFIG]: Calling Configuration Load Function...
DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Region Name [OpenSim Test]:
Bill's Place
DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Grid Location (X Axis) [1000]:
DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Grid Location (Y Axis) [1000]:
DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Internal IP Address for
incoming UDP client connections []:
incoming UDP client connections [9000]:
DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: External Host Name []:
DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: First Name of Master Avatar [Test]:
DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Last Name of Master Avatar [User]:
DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: (Sandbox Mode Only)Password for
Master Avatar account [test]:
Once you answer these questions, the OpenSim server finishes its startup sequence and is ready for you to log in when you see a Region (root) # : prompt. The OpenSim console allows you to do some basic management and administration of the server from this prompt, but the real fun stuff begins when you fire up a Second Life viewer. The actual virtual world can be accessed only via the Second Life viewer. Assuming you already have the Second Life viewer and have untarred it into a directory, you can log in to your server by running the following command:
./secondlife -loginuri http://<server IP>:9000/ \
-loginpage http://<server IP>:9000/?method=login
In my case, I can log in to my server with the following:
./secondlife -loginuri \
The client will launch, and you will see a basic HTML screen (Figure 1). Input the first and last name of the Master Avatar that you specified when configuring the server (see above) and the password you specified.
The client then will log in to the server, and you'll be on your own little island! It's not much to look at, just a little hump in an empty sea, but then again, neither is your avatar. Regardless of how you envision your avatar, all avatars in an OpenSim deployment start out as one basic shape—the basic Linden shape known as Ruth. This is because you have no prepopulated inventory, so you get the generic unisex avatar, which just happens to look female. Go figure.
Figure 1. Logging In to My Virtual World
Ruth is sort of ambiguous-looking (Figure 2), but it's not hard to fix that. By going into the inventory window, right-clicking on Body Parts, and then clicking on New Body Part—New Shape, you can create a body shape, then wear it. Once you wear that shape, you can right-click on your avatar, and select Edit Appearance. Then, edit that shape to your liking. Once you get your shape dialed in, you can create basic clothing that's a little better than what's provided with Ruth, and look as fashionable as I do (Figure 3).
Another thing you may want to do to your island is to terraform it. This is done by right-clicking on the ground and selecting Edit Terrain. The terraforming dialog comes up, and from there, you can use the raise land or lower land tools to change the elevation of certain areas of the parcel. I spent about five minutes in the terraforming dialog, and my island went from the basic little round hump to something that vaguely resembles Pac-Man (Figure 4).
Figure 2. What I Looked Like at First
Figure 3. What I Looked Like after a Makeover
Figure 4. My Island after Its Makeover
If you are a seasoned Second Life user, you may go through a period of shock once you realize there is no prepopulated inventory, nor are there any stores to buy goods on your own private island. Much like Robinson Crusoe, you are going to have to make anything you want to use or wear on your own island. If you do know LSL scripting in Second Life, you'll be glad to know that there is an analog in OpenSimulator as well. The OpenSim folks have implemented about 85% of the LSL scripting language in OpenSim, and they are improving the support for it every day.
Once your island is up and running, for an added challenge, you may want to try connecting your private island to one of the alternative grids that have been set up by virtual reality fans. See the Alternative Grids sidebar for more information on this—it's a great way to jumpstart into a whole new virtual universe. If you can set up the infrastructure, but have a difficult time creating content, you may choose this path.
Once you've hooked your island into a grid, you can start to leverage all the shared inventory and assets of other people who have come before you. Much like Second Life, there are stores on the alternative grids where you can get clothes, vehicles, furniture and other goods—and most of it on the alternative grids is free!
That's the basics on your own island. At this point, you can have friends or colleagues log in to your server using the Second Life client, and you can converse and collaborate. Explore what you can do with the technology, and have fun making your own virtual world!

I have version 2.8.17-4build1. The opensim README.txt says that version 3 is a prerequisite. ADEPT can not find a newer version. I can get the viewer to run but just the splash screen comes up and then the video on my entire screen starts to flicker. If sqlite is the reason why then where can I find a repository that has what I need?

November 2013
• Great Place to stay! Everything was awesome
June 2013
• I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Anastasiya's place. I can't wait to stay there again, and I highly recommend it to others. Great location in South Beach, nice to have your own bathroom and it has a great kitchen:)
February 2013
• We stayed 16 hours in Anastasiya's place. Anastasiya did not welcome us. We had to wait for the keys 1 hour and a half. They were finely brought by a friend of her. The place is as described on the internet site. We tried to prepare the breakfast in the morning. Unfortunately, toaster, fridge, coffee maker were running out of electricity !!! We didn't see Anastasiya at all, who's not living in the apartment.
January 2013
• Anastasia really made my frist Airbnb stay a great experience. She is really a great host. The amenities have a certain age and history like many buildings in the Art Deco district of South Beach, which might create a certain inconvenience sometimes . However, Anastasia quickly came up with a very good solution. The location of the place is really great, it's 2 blocks away from Washington Av and close to shops, bars and clubs. The room is rather basic, but that's also what you pay for. Definitely would recommend it to everyone who ld like to keep an eye on their budget and I ld would stay here again when I ld be back in lovely and lively Miami!
January 2013
• Anastasiya was is a very nice and pleasant host. We had a great time at her apartment, she was always concerned about our needs and communication with her worked out very well.. The apartment was clean and exactly as pictured, she also provided us with frech towels.
Would definitely recommend her!
January 2013
• It was a great place to stay. The apartment was clean. It is a great location: 5-10 min to Ocean Drive and the beach,
Would definitely stay again.

SBJ/May 26 - June 1, 2003/This Weeks Issue
NBA credit facility draws a mix
The 12 teams borrowing from the NBA's new $1 billion loan pool are all over the map in terms of creditworthiness, belying the concern of some bankers that borrowers would comprise the league's worst credits.
Instead, teams on solid financial footing like the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs are among the borrowers, and so are several hard-luck franchises on less sure credit ground, including the Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Hornets.
In the pool: Team borrowers from NBA credit facility
Chicago Bulls
Golden State Warriors
Houston Rockets
Memphis Grizzlies
Milwaukee Bucks
New Orleans Hornets
Philadelphia 76ers
Phoenix Suns
Sacramento Kings
San Antonio Spurs
Seattle SuperSonics
Washington Wizards
Source: SportsBusiness Journal research
The list was supplied by several financial sources. The NBA declined to comment.
When the league's banker, J.P. Morgan Chase, was struggling to put the credit facility together between October and earlier this month, some bankers opined that the pool would suffer from "adverse selection," or that only the most desperate teams would be allowed to borrow from the pot. Because part of the collateral is the teams themselves, this would have been a worry for lenders being asked to participate in the syndication.
"The issue of adverse selection is certainly a credit issue, but we view these transactions as league supported," said Dan Champeau, head of sports for FitchRatings, which graded the credit facility BBB+, a critical step in getting the loan pool completed. By league supported, Champeau was referring to the league's media contract also being pledged as collateral.
In any event, even if there had been a strong weight toward poor credits in the facility, Champeau said, he would expect more teams to be added.
The benefits for teams is best seen in the case of the Grizzlies. Under their old $90 million loan with SG Cowen, the Memphis franchise was paying 337.5 interest points over the London Interbank Offered Rate, a floating rate index that last week was trading around 1.3 percent. That would set the Grizzlies' rate at 4.675 percent, which on their loan would mean annual interest costs of $4.2 million.
The rate of the NBA facility is still in flux, but the bulk of it will be based on a rate of 65 interest points over LIBOR. The overall rate is expected to rise somewhat when Morgan completes the overall transaction, but even assuming the final rate is 80 points over LIBOR, that would translate into a rate of 2.1 percent. On the Grizzlies' $90 million, that would mean interest payments of $1.9 million, or a $2.3 million annual saving.

Soccer exec combining best of pros, amateurs
Joann Vitelli
Staff Writer- Atlanta Business Chronicle
Boris Jerkunica has his Atlanta Silverbacks back on the right track.
But even more than reviving the pro soccer team after a two-season hiatus, the Silverbacks chairman points to the addition this year of a fourth field at Silverbacks Park, home to a recreational soccer program that features more than 300 teams.
He also enthusiastically describes plans for other amenities aimed at creating a more club-like atmosphere at the park, which backs up against Spaghetti Junction in Chamblee.
“That’s where my real interest lies,” he said.
Jerkunica, 45, comes by his love of amateur soccer naturally. A native of Croatia, he earned All-America honors in the sport at Emory University before launching a career as a technology entrepreneur.
Jerkunica was arguably among the first generation of young adults in America who came of age with an itch to play soccer and not enough places to scratch it.
When he and his soccer-playing friends finished college, they wanted to keep playing the sport. But in the Atlanta of the late 1980s and early 1990s, soccer fields were scarce.
“We couldn’t find a playing field,” he said. “Finally, it was like, ‘Why don’t we build our own field?’ I said, ‘I’ll do it.’ ”
Silverbacks Park emerged out of that idea.
“We were going to build a soccer club for adults,” Jerkunica said. “Then, I had an opportunity to buy the Silverbacks. That was more of an afterthought.”
True to that order of priorities, when construction began on the complex in 2003, Phase I consisted of plans for three soccer fields. Only after that project was a 3,000-seat stadium built to house the Silverbacks, who before 2006 played at DeKalb Memorial Stadium in Clarkston.
The stadium has since been enlarged to 5,000 seats and is expandable to 7,000.
The 2011 season was the first for the Silverbacks in the North American Soccer League (NASL), which is one level below Major League Soccer (MLS), similar to how Triple-A baseball compares to the major leagues.
The team ceased play for two seasons because of dissatisfaction with the United Soccer League.
Jerkunica said the USL was more focused on what was best for the league rather than the individual teams.
“They were just trying to get as many franchises as they could,” he said. “If a team went out of business in the middle of the season, they didn’t care because they still got their franchise fees. ... It’s nice to be in a league owned by the teams.”
What wasn’t nice was the 20 losses the Silverbacks suffered during their first NASL campaign, to go with only four wins and four ties, which put them squarely in last place among the league’s eight teams.
The team has hired a new coach for 2012.
“I was pretty upset with our record on the field. There’s no reason for us to do that poorly,” Jerkunica said. “We’re making changes and should get a much better team.”
Along with the changes on the field, changes are planned to Silverbacks Park’s physical plant to enhance its family atmosphere.
Jerkunica said he wants to convert what he described as a “concessions stand-plus” into something more like a cross between a concessions stand and a restaurant.
“What we’ll probably do is change that building so it’s a space where people can hang out,” he said. “[But] we can’t just build a full-fledged restaurant. ... It’s going to be for people who participate.”
What Jerkunica has in mind is a pro soccer stadium side-by-side with a social club, a business model that’s unfamiliar to Americans but can be found in Europe and South America.
“One of the top teams in Rio [de Janeiro, Brazil] has a facility that’s basically a social club around the pro team,” he said. “The main focus is the social club. The pro team is an offshoot of that.”
In the meantime, the Silverbacks are filling an important niche in metro Atlanta by providing an outlet for adult recreational soccer players.
Rick Skirvin, executive director of Georgia Soccer, the nonprofit official state youth and adult association for soccer in Georgia, said outside of the Silverbacks, soccer programs in the metro region are geared more toward kids than adults.
“A lot of young adults just creating careers and families want to get out and play,” he said. “The Silverbacks have done a phenomenal job in recognizing that and providing that opportunity.”
The Silverbacks also likely will be the only game in town in the foreseeable future when it comes to pro soccer.
Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank has talked about working to land Atlanta an MLS franchise.
Atlanta sports promoter Bob Hope, president of public relations firm Hope-Beckam Inc., said the best chance at making that dream a reality would be building an open-air stadium that the Falcons and an MLS team could share. But such a stadium is years away at best.
“The reality of MLS is you’re not going to have a team until you have a stadium to play in,” Hope said. “I don’t think in this economy, anyone is going to build a soccer-only complex [with enough capacity for an MLS team] like they have in Dallas or Columbus, [Ohio].”
Jerkunica said he expects the Silverbacks would continue to be part of Atlanta’s sports scene, even if an MLS team opens up shop here.
He compared that scenario to the minor league Gwinnett Gladiators hockey team doing a brisk business in suburban Lawrenceville at the same time the now-defunct Atlanta Thrashers of the National Hockey League were playing home games downtown at Philips Arena.
“We wouldn’t really be competing,” Jerkunica said. “It would just make awareness of soccer that much greater.”

Credit: Alexander Tamargo/Getty Images Photo: Kandi Burruss Attends Her 2012 New Year’s Eve Bash in Miami
According to Straight From the A, hot mama Kandi Burruss has a new boo, and she even went so far as to change her relationship status to “in a relationship” on her personal Facebook page.
The new couple seems to be moving quickly with their relationship, because the fella in question was spotted by Kandi’s side on New Year’s Eve!
Kandi was at the Ciroc New Year’s 2012 party in Miami, Florida last weekend, and she was sure to bring her new beau along so they could share a New Year’s kiss. We don’t know Kandi’s new guy’s name, but sources say that he’s a cameraman with the Real Housewives of Atlanta crew.
Kim Zolciak found her match on RHoA, so we sincerely hope the same thing happens for Kandi, there’s no question that she deserves it!

Batch Control: Controller- Versus Server-Based Sequencers
The size of the batch operation is not the sole deciding factor. Follow this guidance to select the best control strategy for your system
John Párraga Rockwell Automation
It is traditionally thought that small batch systems require a controller-based sequencing solution, while larger systems require a server-based solution. However, the size of the system is not always the best indicator of the most-appropriate solution. This article provides tips to help you evaluate three options — hard-coded solutions, configurable controller-based solutions, and server-based solutions — and select the best one...

Dawnguard - A Decent Distraction for Those Who Have Exhausted All Skyrim Already Has to Offer
The massive world of the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim got even bigger recently with the addition of the anticipated Dawnguard DLC. Does the $20 entry fee provide enough new content to further fill the already content filled game? I think so, and heres why.
Dawnguard adds a fairly large new quest line named, you guessed it - Dawnguard. Vampire attacks are on the rise and in response an ancient order of vampire slayers have rebuilt to combat them. Players join the elite Dawnguard to fight the growing menace, but things quickly become more dire than just random vampire attacks. After players rescue an important vampire lord possessing an Elder Scroll you have a big choice to make, join the vampires in their quest to blot out the sun, or continue on with the Dawnguard and stop them at all costs.
Doing all the quests for one faction will take you at least four or five hours, however players will want to experience the quest line from the opposite perspective on another character to get all their money's worth. In addition to more quests, new weapons, spells, armor and dragon shouts are added as well. The most visible addition is the crossbow, which allows players to pack an even bigger punch at range. All the archery perks apply for the crossbow, so ranged assassins need not worry about starting from scratch with the new weapon.
By far the DLC's biggest selling point though is the new vampire form and perk trees for both vampire and werewolves. The new vampire form transforms the player into a grotesque winged monster, wielding a drain life spell in one hand and a raise dead in the other. Previously playing as the clumsy and weak werewolf was for all intents and purposes useless. This DLC however adds a little more bark to the werewolf's bite. Now while earning kills either in werewolf or vampire forms players can upgrade the performance of their alternate forms, opening up a whole new avenue for combat. Transforming still takes far too long to be practical in the middle of combat, but if done before hand can be a legitimate plan of attack.
All in all, the Dawnguard DLC is a well put together package that adds enough content to justify the $20 investment, that being said it doesn't add anything incredibly new or exciting, just more of the same. For fans of the game who feel like they have exhausted the existing material, purchasing this DLC will be a no brainer, but players still fighting their way through the majority of Skyrim, unless you are a big werewolf or vampire fan, might want to hold off.
• Thanks for the great review but you know what Bethesda made the mistake of giving the xbox 360 a 1 month or more exclusive I have completely lost interest in dawnguard and will be saving my money for dishonored and Assassins Creed.
• Awesome review. Thanks!

Received one of these as an extra. Poured into my Duvel tulip.
A - Pours a nice crystal clear strawberry brown with a two finger light tan head that fades to leave a nice creamy blanket. Spotty lacing.
S - Woah. Aromas of blackberries, apples, raspberries, tartness and sour, cherries, preserves, fruit compote. Very funky. I get no sweetness though, no sugary candy. Instead this is an incredibly fruit burst with wonderful funk. What on earth...
T - Taste is rather sour but not to the point of being flemmy, however, you can tell that with more time it will get to that point. Loads of blackberry and cherry preserves with nice strawberry notes. The vinegar here is not too assertive, which is a good thing as it allows the fruit notes to shine through. I think all these fruit notes was from the wild yeasts, pretty sure no fruit was added. It's not overly sweet at all, in fact this may be the least sweet of any New Glarus beers I've had, which is a good thing.
M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, keeps this super crisp and light. Works great for the style.
O - Overall this beer exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. This might be my favourite New Glarus beer to date. This is developing wonderfully.

12oz bottle poured into tulip.
Appearance is clear deep copper red color with small quick dissipating head.
Smells of vinegar. Also fruit, namely cherries and a funky, yeastyness.
Taste is tart and funky. Fruit as plum, apple, and cherry.
Mouthfeel is smooth and clean, low carbonation.
Overall a pleasant drinking beer and the price is excellent.

Last bottle from my four-pack, cellared the last few months. Chilled, poured into a tulip.
A- Glowing red-orange, mostly clear. Two fingers of off-white head, dissipated quickly
S- Very funky, strong cedar aroma. Orange zest, yeasty
T- Winey dryness, blackberry and raspberry sweetness. An array of yeasty notes, the brown ale base is there but in the distant background. Sourness lingers on the finish
M-Exceptional mouthfeel, more like wine than beer. Light carbonation, but a still a sour bite.
O- The fruitiness is the part of this beer that has increased over the last 4 months. Overall, better than fresh, really nice. Oh, and the oakiness was really only evident when it was very fresh.

I love me some sours and this is a pretty good one. I like that it has that traditional old world sour flavor. some of these sours are getting to strait sour and almost artificially flavored. There is no good wood structure or funk. This was definitely one of the beers I enjoyed a lot this year.
It is a beautiful looking beer, a pretty great sour smell to it, a wonderful oak presence and the right touch of sour on the finish, the mouthfeel didn't blow me away but really no mouthfeel blows my mind other then imperial stouts.

Thanks Sonny for sharing.
A- Poured from the 12oz bottle to two glasses. Fairly clear red body with some brown hues in the middle. Small, fizzy off white head forms but falls pretty quickly. Small ring leaves a few legs but no lace.
S- Fruity in the aroma, almost like a berry preserve. Reminds me a bit of the Strawberry Rhubarb they did and has a Flanders red feel.
T- Opens up a bit here but the general berry flavor is still the biggest thing happening for me, somewhere between strawberry and light fruits. Mostly lactic sours with some vinegar hints. Reminds me of blueberry lactic yogurt.
MF- Lighter end bodied with a moderate carbonation. Finishes with a medium tartness on the palate.
Fruity with a nice sourness. Berry flavor is big but the beer drinks easily and it feels somewhere in the Flanders side of things.

12oz bottle purchased at Woodman's in Kenosha. Served in a fine plastic cup.
A - Off-white creamy foam settles to a cap, leaving behind splotches of lace. Mostly transparent dark orange-amber body.
S - Quite lactic, with a bit of spicy oak present as while, but also with a fairly pronounced malt bill; the end result is quite yogurty, much like the New Glarus Gueuze was when it was fresh. The malt character is actually suggestive of fruit, even though I know there isn't any in here. Some definite tartness to the aroma.
T - The taste is a fair bit more sour, with higher doses of tart berry and underripe stone fruit tanginess to it. There's some acetic vinegar mingling with the lactic sourness, and light oak in the periphery.
M - Creamy, medium-full body, with some tannins in the finish. Pleasant carbonation, no alcohol, and moderate acidity.
D - It's a very well made American Wild Ale. I appreciate the restraint on the brett side of things, and I look forward to seeing how this develops over time; the Gueuze got quite a bit more sour and less yogurt-heavy, so I anticipate this will do something similar. I dig New Glarus' terroir in any case. Also, $10 for a 4-pack of oak-aged sour beer? Hell yes.

Appearance: Pours a murky / cloudy russet orange with a 1 finger tan crown that displays little retention and lace.
Smell: Nice lactic note that couples with peach, plum, green apple, and almost an apricot like quality.
Taste: Same as the nose but a bit less complex. A really nice amount of lactic acid on the way down, with a strong plum finish. I'd give it a 4.3 if I could, so I'm rounding up a bit.
Mouthfeel: Thick side of thin bodied with medium carbonation.
Overall: Super sessionable and super tasty sour. Go New Glarus Go!!!!

The beer comes in a hazy reddish copper color.
The aroma is wonderful of peaches, cherry, sour plum, along with a sugary sweet tart character and a musty note.
The flavor follows with just a burst of fruit in the front. It at first tastes of juicy fresh peach, but then moves onto a sour berry or tart plum note. I would have a hard time figuring out that it's green plum without knowing, but it does have that flavor. There's an apple tartness along with a caramel sweetness and drying oak character on the end.
The beer is quite light, but super fruity and refreshing. An absolutely incredible wild ale.

12oz bottle split with my lovely ladyfriend katalijne. Big thanks to Beeryurt for sending me this Wisconsin treat. Poured into my trusty Night Shift snifter/tulip hybrid thing.
Pours a slightly dull amber with a brief but imposing 2-finger off-white head. Initially frothy and thick, the head recedes rapidly to a thin collar. Spots of soapy lacing appear quickly as I drink, then just as quickly run down the sides of the glass to rejoin the collar of foam. Looks a little watery, on the whole.
On the nose, notes of crabapple, cranberry, unripe peach, sour yogurt (there's the lactobacillus rearing its head!), damp hay, and a slightly cheesy earthy-floral all fight for dominance. Slight notes of dry red wine emerge as the beer warms. The yogurty character seems a bit strong, to the point of distracting me from the more pleasing but subtler fruit notes. Overall funkiness is a bit restrained, fairly robust but lacking the same untamed character that can be found in this beer's Belgian counterparts.
In the mouth, however, this beer is far more pleasing. Opens with cranberry and Granny Smith apple tartness, before the same slightly yogurt-like lactic sourness emerges mid-palate. Unlike the aroma, however, the lactic sour notes in the mouth complement the other flavors instead of overwhelming them. Lemon, lime and a very light earthy hop note emerge on the middle of the palate as well, with the citric notes lingering on towards the back of the palate. Finishes dry and subtle notes of lemon-pepper spiciness, with lactic sourness re-emerging and lingering in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is spritzy but soft and smooth. Palate-coating for much of the duration, with some lactic dryness lingering on the back of the palate.
On the whole, I'm impressed without being overwhelmed. That lingering, persistent yogurty note kept this from being a truly excellent beer for me--or perhaps I'm just not meant to drink lactobacillus-fermented sours. Regardless, I'm happy to have gotten to try this, and although there are other sours I like more, I'll definitely be seeking out more New Glarus beers in the future on the strength of this one.

Reviewed live. No ABV is listed on the bottle. 12 fl oz brown glass bottle with iconic green & gold New Glarus branded cap covered in red foil and appealing New Glarus label art acquired in a trade with the very gracious Duff27 (thanks again, buddy!) and served into Cantillon stemware in me gaff in low altitude Austin, Texas. Expectations are sky high given the brewery and style. 2013 vintage. Reviewed as a wild ale because it identifies as such in the name and on the label.
Served chilled - straight from me freezer - and allowed to warm over the course of consumption. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: No bubble show forms as I pour.
Pours a 1.5 finger wide head of muted off-white colour. Decent creaminess, thickness, and frothiness. It could use a fuller head with a softer complexion. Some inconsistent lacing clings to the sides of the glass as the head recedes; it has "legs." Head retention is above average - about 3-4 minutes.
Body colour is a clear translucent textbook copper of above average vibrance; it's got a dark decadent glow. Transparent. Appears adequately carbonated.
I'm looking forward to trying it. It's not unique or special, but there are no obvious flaws.
Overall, it's within style conventions.
Sm: Cedar wood, lactobacillus yeast and accompanying sourness, tart green apple fruit, crab apple, hay/straw, and some faint spice - white pepper, light (white) plum, and controlled wild yeast(s). I don't get any true bacteria or lambicus yeasts; it evokes a controlled, clinical character which makes it obvious it wasn't truly spontaneously fermented. I don't get much oak; the wood profile is primarily cedar and I don't find any vanilla or toasty notes consistent with oak barrel aging. Belgian pale malts. A buried hint of lime.
The aroma doesn't suggest heavy sourness or tartness, but does evoke a moderate inclusion of each.
Any hop character is minimal in presence, and seemingly generic in character - perhaps a light floral touch, but little else. Maybe a faint fruitiness?
No alcohol is detectable. An appealing aroma of moderate strength. I'm looking forward to trying it.
T: Superb tart fruit - mainly green apple/crab apple. Has a lovely surge of lactobacillus-induced clean sourness, which isn't pucker-inducing but leaves the drinker with a satisfying lip-smacking note. The wild yeasts lend some added sourness, but again it's obvious this didn't undergo true spontaneous fermentation; it's got that clinical clean controlled feel of most American wild ales, and that holds it back from really giving the Belgian sours a run for their money. It's not an overwhelming sourness, but delivers enough to satisfy the discerning sour-lover. The same can be said about the tartness. I don't find any explicit brettanoymces funkiness. I don't get the heavy puckering character of actual lambicus yeast or bacteria either.
Spritzy crystal malts. Has some limited spice: mainly white pepper. Straw/hay. Clean barley. Pale Belgian malts. A biteen cidery. Has a kiss of vinegar; it could use more of an acetic build. Light lime. Some vague crackery malts.
Any hop character is quite tame; maybe there's some generic floral and fruity notes but I have trouble finding much there.
The only barrel character I find is a restrained cedar, which is an interesting, almost even a unique, approach to the style. I don't find the telltale vanilla or toastiness of oak.
No alcohol comes through.
It's a well balanced sour, and it's got superb cohesion, but I don't know that I'd call it gestalt. If we're nitpicking, it's not as complex or subtle as the best beers in the style, but don't get me wrong - there's plenty of both. Above average depth, duration, and intensity of flavour.
Excellent sweetness/bitterness/sourness balance; the sourness/tartness is a highlight - as it should be.
Overall, I'm a big fan. This is some tasty stuff.
Mf: Has a perfect acidity. Great body and plump thickness. Near-perfect smoothness/coarseness and dryness/wetness; it's coarse and dry enough to coax nuance out of the flavour profile but smooth and wet enough to keep it refreshing. balanceExcellent presence on the palate. Nicely soft; very approachable. Just a biteen overcarbonated, but I'm nitpicking. Complements the flavour profile quite well. Good execution.
Not oily, harsh, gushed, hot, boozy, rough, or astringent.
Dr: Extremely drinkable. Another enjoyable sour from New Glarus. I'd definitely get it again and would recommend it to friends and trade partners. It's an excellent example of the style, but I don't know that I'd call it world-class. I'd buy it by the case if I had the opportunity. I already want another.
Thanks again to Duff27 for the opportunity to try this.
Drank very well from a Cantillon glass.
Would pair well with a salad, but frankly I think it demands to be consumed alone and savored.

12oz bottle into a Duvel tulip. Thanks to mnbearsfan for this one!
A: Clear garnet-tinged brown body under an inch of frothy tan head that settles into a patchy cap and leaves a decent amount of lace. Quite nice.
S: Extremely complex and aromatic, with sourdough bread, tart cherry, lactic acid, faintly charred oak, vanilla, and some musty, mushroomy earthiness. Fantastic.
T: Follows the nose - sweet & sour fruitiness up front (cherry, plum, grape, cranberry, lemon), vanilla oak and malt sweetness midway through, and a profoundly dry, herbal, earthy, and funky finish. Lingering lactic sourness on the aftertaste. Delicious.
M: Soft, smooth medium body with delicately creamy carbonation. Excellent.
O: Another terrific NG sour, and another incredible value in the Thumbprint series. While I wasn't quite as blown away by this one as I was by the R&D Sour Ale I had recently, this was right up there with Cranbic. I just wish it had come out while I was still in WI this summer, as I hate being down to only two more bottles.

12oz bottle received via Growling at the Moon. Thanks for the brew, Gonzo Illini!
Poured into a footed CCB glass, formed a 1/2" beige head over the cloudy amber brew. Head dwindles quickly, with leggy lasting lace. Aroma is rich earthy tartness.
Taste starts malty sweet, a peek of cherry tartness in the middle through the surprisingly rich body, and a sweet tart close. Artful play of malt with sour is impressive. Mouthfeel is soft and smooth, with easy drinkability. One of the most approachable yet enjoyable sours I have had. Cheers!

Poured into a tulip from draught.
A- Ruby brown/red hue. Good substantial head that minimizes with little to no lacing.
S- Fruity sourness. A mix between cherries, blackberries, and blueberries.
T- Cherry sourness is the first thing I taste. The acidity is well muted by the fruit, malts, and carbonation. I haven't had many sours but I am digging this beer.
M- Relatively light mouthfeel with some fizz. Good carbonation.
O- I've probably had 6-8 of these in the past couple days when it has been on draught. I am quite fond and wish I could purchase year round.

Reviewed 10-16-13 Purposely didn't read or look at the reviews previously so I could see how close I get.
A- Pours a murky brown/ruby red with a 2 inch beige head. Pretty opaque, carbonation is evident. Excellent head retention and lacing.
S- I can't tell if it is cherries or raspberries, although I would guess cherries. A very mellow sour with a bit of barnyard and brett intermingling with the lactic acid.
T- Cherry pie, a sour flavor unlike any I have experienced before. The sour is very mellow, and there is a huge fruit presence, but it is more sweet than tart. Kind of the opposite I usually expect from sour ales. Still, very delicious.
M- Fizzy, high levels of carbonation. Body is medium. Some lingering lactic drying, although not a ton compared to recent sours I have consumed.
O- A very solid beer- While there is sour, I wouldn't necessarily call it a sour beer. There is a ton of fruit presence that really dominates. This is super drinkable, I wish I had a case!

This Thumbprint Series beer pours deep mahogany with a quickly dissipating, fizzy head. The mouth begins to salivate at the first hints of the tart aromas creeping from the glass. A wonderful bouquet of tart apples, black cherries, vinegar, and a touch of oak play out over a funky yeast base. Sweet to open, the tartness and sourness quickly pucker up the mouth. Delicately balanced flavors of green apple, plum, and oak all swirl just above the wonderful blending of cider vinegar and lactic acid. A smooth and medium-full mouthfeel compliment this beer even further. Pucker Up for this amazing sour!

Thanks Steasy66!
Appearance. Pours a lightly hazy amber-brown with almost a finger of cream coloured head.
Smell. Very funky and acetic with notes of caramel, red apple, and a little bit of melon and wood.
Taste. Sour but not as funky as the nose lead, plums and pear, some nice citrus-like sourness, and a little bit of dark cherry and dark berries.
Mouthfeel. Below medium in body, fairly soft medium carbonation.
Overall. A nice easy drinking sour. Not really exceptional like some of the better sour american wilds, but I would absolutely drink it again if easily available.

Type: 12oz. Bottle
Glass: Heady Stemless
Vintage: 2013
Pours a reddish-brown mahogany in color w/ a lingering 1 finger off-white head that left medium amounts of lacing. Aromas of strong acidity over oak, carmel malts, dark fruit, and wet socks. The taste was of sharp/tart sourness up front, leading into caramel, oak, and plum, and finished w/ mild wet sock funk. Medium bodied, creamy and lush w/ a nice warming sensation. Like Lionel Ritchie said, "all night long". I literally was almost done with my glass before I was even done with the review.
Overall, simply awesome! R&D Bourbon Barrel Kriek was the best beer I had in 2011 and this taste just like it minus the bourbon touch. New Glarus nailed this and I would expect nothing less than perfection from my favorite brewery.

Big thanks to Jeff for hitting this want. 12oz. bottle into a Tired Hands sherry glass. Shared with schen9303.
Pours a foamy 2 finger cream colored head with moderate to low retention. Beer is a clear amber. Lacing is stringy but sticks close to the head. Very solid.
Nose is lightly tart red fruit, oak, cinnamon, a slight funk and that signature sweet New Glarus yeastiness. Real aromatic and enticing!
Opens tart red fruit. Cherry, raspberry, strawberry and yumberry. Juicy with a touch of syrup and cinnamon in the middle. Sweet red fruit at the end and finishes tart with the slightest bit of woodiness. Clean, crisp, puckering finish. Real nice.
Light bodied with ample carbonation. Oddly slick and filmy in the mouth and goes down aggressive and prickly. Finish is dry with a slightly lingering, tart aftertaste. A bit strange.
Like most of New Glarus' beers, this one is straightforward, to the point, and delicious! Feel is a bit off but forgivable. Just a really easy drinking and tasty beer! Worth seeking out for sure.

(Served in a teku)
A- This beer pours a noisy light beige head with a mellow carbonation that pushes through a deep caramel-orange body.
S- The nice full tart aroma has flanders red cherry pit qualities and comes through even during the pour. There are some musty cellar notes and fruit orchard qualities that grow aswell.
T- The tartness is like a 9V battery on the tongue that leads to a nice woody funk with some bright fruity tartness and a slight jammy quality to it. There is a gummy candy sweetness that blends with the tartness in the aftertaste. Some nice full barrel, wet wood flavors along with some white cheese rind brett characters come through as it opens up.
M- The medium-light mouthfeel leads to a battery shocking astringency but it is not jaw locking at all and a gentle fizz finishes each sip.
O- This beer has great depth and wild character but it is not “Belgian wild” character and has a much different wild taste. This is a great beer and I would buy it by the keg. I have never had a tartness with the same tongue shock as this and it didn’t really have any astringency like typical sour ales.

Pours a hazy orange with a foamy bone head that fades to nothing. No lacing on the drink down. Smell is sour and tart with fruit, honey, and acidic aromas. Taste is much the same with sour and acidic fruit flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of acidity on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a very good beer with a slightly better sour presence in the flavor.

Pours an opaque brown with a fluffy tan head. Holds at a finger and slowly recedes from there.
On the nose is sour grapes and plums. A bit of funk. Some wood comes in on the end. A bit salty smelling as well. The more I smell I also pick up a bit of citrus towards the end. Maybe some lemon.
Taste is sour plums and grapes. The cedar really comes through in the end of the taste. Not extremely sour but it puckers a little bit. Some funk presents itself on the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is great. Really good carbonation. Good body. Not watered down at all.
Would definitely drink again. Glad I got four of them in my trade. Really nice.

Smells like cedar mulch, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar.
A nice play of sweet and sour. Caramel, brown sugar, then the vinegar and cedar. Tart finish.
Mouthfeel is light and dry. Prickly carbonation.

Bottle courtesy of maximum12, thanks again!
Pours a deep dull copper color with a thin and tiny white head. Not the prettiest beer in the glass.
Aromas make up for the so so pour, nice sliced apple, cider vinegar and funky yeast notes.
Taste is quite nice and full flavored. A bit sugar and creamy sweet up front, lactic and sour, with a crisp green apple and cider vinegar character that blends well and cuts the sweetness nicely. Finish is crisp, clean, and dry. Tasty and well balanced.
Mouthfeel is full, smooth, and spot on.
Overall, another winner by New Glarus, and a fine sour to boot.

Appearance: Pours a mahogany color with a modest head that leaves a few strips of lace behind
Smell: Tart green apple, ripe berries and tart cherries; a hint of oak
Taste: Tart cherries and stone fruit flavors, up front, with some brown sugar rounding out the tartness in the middle; a touch of oak in the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate to high carbonation
Overall: Give New Glarus an inch and they will pack a beer with fruit flavors that can range all over the map; this one verges on the sour side, but there is plenty of tartness and malty complexity as well

EPA Is Right to Rate Tar Sands Pipeline Assessment as "Inadequate"
Peter Lehner
Posted July 23, 2010 in Moving Beyond Oil, Saving Wildlife and Wild Places
, , , , , , , , , ,
Share | | |
In light of yesterday’s news that the Senate has failed to confront climate change and jumpstart the clean energy economy at this time, I am relieved that the EPA is helping to move America away from dirty, dangerous fuels.
The EPA recently released its comments on the draft environmental impact statement for the
Keystone XL pipeline that would carry dirty tar sands oil 2,000 miles from Northern Alberta through America’s heartland to the Gulf Coast.
The comments reveal that the EPA is fulfilling its job of protecting public health and the environment, and taking the lead in good government oversight.
The State Department has been moving forward with the permitting process for the transboundary project. The pipeline would bring tar sands oil under high pressure over the freshwater sources for the American Midwest.
Since the Gulf oil disaster, there is growing public feeling that oil companies have been defining our energy policy for too long. The State Department is out of step with the growing public sentiment that America needs to move away from our dependence on oil and towards cleaner energy sources.
The EPA confirmed this in their comments, saying the pipeline decision was not only inadequate in its analysis of greenhouse gas emissions, air pollutant emissions, pipeline safety and spill response, environmental justice considerations and impacts on wetlands and migratory birds, but that the pipeline assessment needed to include a broader analysis of U.S. energy needs.
Specifically, the letter said that the State Department needed to consider the “national security implications of expanding the Nation’s long-term commitment to a relatively high carbon source of oil”. EPA is asking for additional information and analysis that will be circulated for full public review in a revised draft environmental impact statement.
The concerns raised by the EPA about the lack of information in the draft environmental impact statement echo a number of recent incidences where concerns have been raised about expanding our dependence on tar sands oil, including a letter from Chairman Waxman and a letter from 50 Members of the House of Representatives.
For the last few years, Alberta has been on a public relations campaign to say that they are cleaning up the tar sands. However, as the public unease with being dependent on any type of oil grows, the debate over projects such as the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline that increase our dependence on oil is also growing.
The point is that real or imaginary “clean-up” of the tar sands extraction operations does not make this new source of oil an acceptable replacement for fuel economy standards, fuel-efficient technologies, electric vehicles and other clean transportation solutions.
Even if oil companies could wave a magic wand and alleviate all destruction caused by tar sands oil production, they still face an inescapable truth: When we burn oil in our cars, we continue our dependence on ever riskier extraction methods such as tar sands strip-mining and drilling, deepwater drilling, mountain-top removal and oil shale extraction. With a continuation of fossil fuels in our tanks, we can’t reach our climate goals.
We have a choice to make: Do we continue to rely on a source of fuel that will keep us from meeting our climate goals? Or do we embrace energy sources that are cleaner from the start?
I realize that we are not going to end our dependence on oil overnight, but the last thing we need is a massive investment in expansion of fossil fuels that will take us backward.
It is time we turned to the 21st-century solutions—things like more fuel efficient cars, plug-in hybrids, better public transit, electric rail, and walkable communities—that will get us moving down a cleaner path.
The EPA is asking exactly the right questions about whether this tar sands pipeline is in our best interest as a country. The State Department should go back and do the analysis right this time.

Cleveland, Akron part of regional planning group that wins $4.25 million 'sustainable communities' grant
Published: Friday, October 15, 2010, 1:04 PM Updated: Saturday, October 16, 2010, 7:51 AM
plans-for-highway-network-2008.jpgView full sizeTransportation planners work extensively with diagrams like this one by City Architecture of Cleveland, showing proposed on- and off-ramps to the Inner Belt that were under discussion in 2008.
Updated at 4:15 p.m.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Regional planning focused on fortifying existing neighborhoods and linking people with jobs will be fueled by a $4.25 million federal grant.
Twenty-one entities, including Cleveland, Akron, Canton and Youngstown, won a "sustainable communities" grant announced today by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The effort "seeks to develop a comprehensive regional plan that can catalyze economic development and support a healthy lifestyle for all of us," said Howard Maier, head of the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency, a transportation planning group that was the lead applicant for the money.
The 21 entities are from 12 counties, stretching from the Mahoning Valley to Lorain. They formed a consortium that was among 45 winners nationwide of grants totaling $100 million.
Such communities attract skilled workers and the companies that want them, Shaun Donovan, secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, said in an interview at The Plain Dealer.
Donovan announced the grant today at NOACA offices in downtown Cleveland, joined by Mayor Frank Jackson and U.S. Reps. Marcia Fudge and Dennis Kucinich, Democrats from Cleveland, and Tim Ryan, from Niles.
HUD will join the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Transportation in overseeing the grants.
A major thrust will be planning that encourages people to live closer to where they work, thereby reducing transportation costs, relieving highway congestion and improving the environment, Donovan said.
"The problem historically has been that more and more development has spread out in an uncoordinated way," Donovan said. "We haven't planned transportation investments so that they connect housing to jobs."
HUD, EPA and the Department of Transportation send tens of millions of dollars a year to cities, counties and planning agencies in Northeast Ohio for programs and projects, especially in housing and transportation.
But the local jurisdictions rarely plan together to ensure the big investments sustain the entire region, rather then help some communities and hurt others.
Locally, planners said they'd like to see strategies encouraging communities to unify in the global competition for business, rather than against each other.
"I don't think it will be a panacea,'' Jason Segedy, director of the Akron-area transportation-planning group, said of the planning effort. "If we don't change the world, that's OK. But if we can make a better land-use decision in one community, that's a very worthwhile thing.''
The grant could help Northeast Ohio move beyond the rhetoric of regionalism, said Chris Warren, chief of regional development for Cleveland.
"This will provide a structured, disciplined way to pursue real, tangible approaches to regional cooperation," Warren said.
The Fund for Our Economic Future, a group of nonprofits investing millions of dollars in regional development, supplied $25,000 to put the grant application together.
"This is a huge deal,'' said Brad Whitehead, president of the future fund. "It's really the first time that the region has been able to come together to win a federal grant of this proportion and dimension.''

Blind Cavefish, Coral Reefs, Bottom-dwelling Shark
Blind Cavefish - Deep underground, in submerged caves, there is no light. Because there is no light, there are no plants and almost nothing to eat. Yet life survives here. The top predators in these sunless ecosystems are tiny blind cavefish, only a few inches long. They are extremely rare, only found in the dark recesses of caves. Jonathan joins Christine Loew, a veteran cave explorer, on a mission to film this incredibly rare fish. Coral Reefs - Often referred to as the "rainforests of the sea," coral reefs are incredibly important to life in shallow tropical oceans. But what exactly is coral? How does it grow? And why is it so important? Jonathan answers these questions and more in this beautifully-shot segment on coral reefs, filmed all over the world from the Caribbean to the Philippines, Australia and Indonesia. Bottom-dwelling Sharks - When most people think of a shark, they think of an animal like the Great White or a reef shark. But there are hundreds of small, bottom-dwelling sharks like the Wobbegong that blend in to the bottom to hunt as ambush predators, or simply spend most of their time resting on the bottom. Jonathan travels from Australia to Indonesia looking at interesting sharks that don't look like sharks!

Vive la competition
Airbus and The Boeing Company might appear to have little in common, but they certainly share a fascinating, and even intertwined, history. Both aviation firms are pioneers, having contributed numerous innovations in the field throughout the years. As technology advancements, new aircraft models, and litigations continue in the years that follow, so too does the competition between the two airframe manufacturers.
Competition might feel like a four-letter word to Airbus and Boeing executives (this geek is almost certain it does most times), but it is most often a boon for the aviation community, the global economy, and the general public.
“One important benefit of competition is a boost to innovation. Competition among companies can spur the invention of new or better products, or more efficient processes. Firms may race to be the first to market a new or different technology. Innovation also benefits consumers with new and better products, helps drive economic growth, and increases standards of living. Products that are commonplace today once were technological breakthroughs… innovation can change your life, and increase prosperity,” reads the “How Competition Works” from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). [If you are interested in the topic and learning more about the benefits of competition, consider visiting and such quick-read literature as can be found at the following link:]
This geek could go on and on but digresses, however, so back to the rival aircraft manufacturers and recent, relationship-shaping events in the next and final installments of the airplane pioneer series.

Brazil FTO Poco Fundo Peaberry
This week we are roasting a nice lot of Peaberry from the Poco Fundo cooperative. This is a well established co-op that has good years, and not so good years. We took this week’s roast to the Full City level, final thermoprobe temperature of 439 degrees. I did mix in a little that was roasted a few degrees more to make certain that the fruity aspects of the cup are balanced with a chocolate roast flavor. I didn’t enter second crack at all so we are still talking about Full City here. I did do slightly larger batches this week and the roast times reflect this increase coming in at about 16 minutes on average. In general we’ve been trying to shorten roast times a little bit more lately to ensure we aren’t “baking” the coffee too much. I think the results from the past few weeks have been pretty great. Hope you all agree!

Reference Data
Target NameHomo sapiens heparan sulfate 2-O-sulfotransferase 1 (HS2ST1), transcript variant 1
Alternative NamedJ604K5.2
Database LinkNP_036394
FunctionHeparan sulfate biosynthetic enzymes are key components in generating a myriad of distinct heparan sulfate fine structures that carry out multiple biologic activities. Heparan sulfate 2-O-sulfotransferase is a member of the heparan sulfate biosynthetic enzyme family. This family member transfers sulfate to the 2 position of the iduronic acid residue of heparan sulfate. The disruption of the HS2ST1 gene resulted in no kidney formation in knockout embryonic mice, indicating that the absence of this enzyme may interfere with the signaling required for kidney formation.
