Following the rapid economic growth in Asia during the last decade, demand for turbine oils has risen sharply. The world annual consumption of turbine oils is 3,128 kilo tonnes, and is projected to continue to rise at a CAGR of 5.32% during the forecast period. As only a small fraction of turbine oils are recycled, hence, major manufacturers of turbine oils are currently looking for a renewable source of these turbine oils to meet the growing demands of the economy. The geographic clustering of manufacturing activity has long been recognized as an important mechanism for facilitating industrial growth in both developed and developing countries. With the industrialization of market, the demand for electricity by modern society continues to grow and so does the desire of companies, manufacturing power, to increase the reliability of their plants. In this regard, main piece of equipment used by power plants to produce electricity is the turbine; if it does not run, the plant does not produce electricity. The most common types of turbines used in power plants are gas turbines and steam turbines. Aside from turbine blade failures, the most common turbine reliability issues are bearing and control system failures, which often can be traced back to lubrication-related issues.
As only a small fraction of turbine oils are recycled, hence, major manufacturers are currently looking for a renewable source of these turbine oils to meet the growing demands of the economy. Turbine Oils are a vital part which is essential for smooth functioning of various segments of the machineries in a chemical manufacturing industry. The demand for turbine oils in the United States is projected to show moderate growth per year through 2021. Improved efficiency and less frequent oil replacement will be a common trend throughout lubricant markets, serving to restrain demand. turbine oil market value was $20053.6m in 2016 and is anticipated to grow to $28810.14m by 2021 growing at a CAGR of 4.27% in between 2017 to 2021. APAC and the Americas have witnessed significant growth in renewable energy with the global share rising to more than 60% of the market in 2016. Moreover, lower energy consumption is also one of the vital reason for increase in demand of turbine oil. Better prospects for volume growth will exist in the automotive manufacturing, oil and gas and machinery manufacturing markets. The U.S. food processing industry is expected to continue a strong recovery through 2021 and will be among the fastest growing end use applications of the turbine oil markets.

Dimension too large
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 8:28 pm
I drew an object in .1/1 scale and when I add dimensions, they are almost larger than the drawing. I can't seem to change the properties or attributes of the dimension and I tried editing the layer properties of my dimension layer, but it was already on the smallest setting. Any Ideas?

Study: Feminizing STEM Role Models Turns Off Girls
The push to promote more "feminine" role models for science, technology, engineering and math fields—think computer engineer Barbie with her pink laptop—may backfire with middle school girls, according to a new study published in Social Psychological and Personality Science.
The study comes in an already-grim week for girls in STEM. Among multiple closing science achievement gaps in the latest results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the gap between boys' and girls' average scores widened from four points in 2009 to five points in 2011. In states like Mississippi, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, the gender gap swelled to eight points.
That's still small compared to the 20-to-30-point gap between white students and their black and Hispanic peers, or the equally large divide in performance between wealthy and poor students. However, while both girls and boys performed on average at the "basic" level on the NAEP (149 for girls versus 154 for boys in 2011), there were twice as many boys as girls nationally performing at the highest level in science (2 percent versus 1 percent, respectively).
Any way you slice it, that's disappointing news for the educators and STEM advocates who have been trying to coax more girls to enter science fields. Many recent programs have tried to do so by promoting more women role models in STEM fields; for example, the American Association for the Advancement of Science has papered its recent conferences with posters of women scientists. University of Michigan psychology researchers Diana E. Betz and Denise Sekaquaptewa have found that might be a trickier approach than it seems.
In the first experiment, 144 6th and 7th grade girls read articles about three successful female university students. In some cases these were overtly "girly," wearing pink clothes and make-up and saying they like to read fashion magazines, while in other cases the students wore dark clothes and glasses and simply said they liked to read. The role models also either were specifically described as successful in a STEM field, math, engineering or biochemistry, or were reported as generally successful—for example called a "freshman star."
The researchers found girls who read about the overtly female role models actually reduced the students' reported interest, perceived ability and future expectations in math, and they showed less interest in taking math classes in high school and college than girls who read about role models in more neutral clothing or with non-STEM-specific achievements.
The second study, of 42 6th and 7th grade girls, repeated the prior experiment but first identified how much they liked science and how strongly the girls believed women could be both feminine and successful in STEM careers. The researchers found girls who already disliked science or felt disconnected from it were even more likely to reject the feminine STEM role model than girls who liked science already.
"Submitting STEM role models to Pygmalion-style feminine makeovers," the researchers concluded, "may do more harm than good. A more fine tuned approach is needed to benefit girls with different levels of STEM interest and to protect current STEM self-concepts."
Previous research has suggested that drawing students' attention to sharp gender differences, such as the pink clothes and fashion magazines, may exacerbate students' gender biases. However, in an email, Betz and Sekaquaptewa said that they don't think that's the problem in this case. Rather, they believe the cognitive clash of two gender stereotypes—images of a successful feminine woman and a successful scientist—can convince girls who already feel disconnected from science that they will never measure up to "counter-stereotypic success."
"The bottom line, though, is that this research suggests that we don't need to make role models or STEM fields 'girly' to motivate girls," they told me. "Instead, we should turn to what we already know makes a helpful role model. Girls have to feel like they can relate to or identify with the female scientists they see and learn about. ... Female role models should also be shown as actively involved in science rather than passive observers or tokens: show women really using equipment and conducting research. Teaching girls about what scientists and engineers really do, and especially highlighting their social usefulness and communal aspects, has been found to be motivating for girls."

Parts of Connecticut's new gun laws take effect Monday
HARTFORD -- Parts of Connecticut's law addressing the Newtown school massacre, including the creation of new credentials to purchase long guns and ammunition, take effect Monday.
Also with the beginning of the new fiscal year, up to 100 people with mental illness who are involved in the state's probate court system begin receiving case management and care coordination from the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.
And people who've been involuntarily committed in a psychiatric facility have a longer waiting period for a gun permit.
In addition, $1 million will be appropriated to fund the statewide firearms trafficking task force, which is charged with enforcing Connecticut's gun possession and trafficking laws.
The wide-ranging legislation was a major highlight of the legislative session that wrapped up June 5. Lawmakers focused on gun control, school safety and mental health in the wake of the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School that left 20 first-graders and six educators dead.
Besides the Newtown-related legislation, other new laws and tax changes also kick in July 1.
The petroleum gross receipts tax, which is a percentage of the wholesale price of gasoline and is charged to companies distributing petroleum products in Connecticut, increases from 7 percent to 8.1 percent, raising prices by about 4 cents per gallon. The tax would be in addition to the 25-cents-per-gallon state tax on gas and the 18.4 cents-per-gallon federal gas tax. Additionally, the state's diesel tax increases by 3.5 cents per gallon.
While the General Assembly's Republican minority launched a petition drive to stop the increase, the Democratic majority criticized the GOP for originally voting in favor of the increase in 2005. And Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy gave no indications last week that he planned to block the increase, expected to generate $60 million in state revenue.
"I wasn't governor in 2005, and I was not the minority leader of the House or the minority leader of the Senate in 2005, when Republicans passed this increase," said Malloy, giving a sharp rebuke to the GOP's complaints. "But I also want to say, we have transportation challenges in this state. I'm trying to address those."
Meanwhile, another new law requires schools to have at least one qualified educator, swimming coach or lifeguard accompany a person conducting aquatic activities at a school pool. They will be on hand to monitor swimmers who may be in distress. The law is in response to recent student drownings.
The new certificates for purchasing long guns -- rifles and shotguns -- and ammunition that become available Monday were one of the key provisions in the Newtown legislation.
Adults 18 years and older can begin applying for the long gun eligibility certificates, which require completion of an instructional course and state and federal background checks. Those certificates or a valid state-issued gun permit will be required as of April 1, 2014, for anyone who buys or receives a long gun. The certificate will be good for five years.
Beginning Monday, adults 18 years and older can apply for the new ammunition certificate, which will require a national criminal background check. Starting Oct. 1, the sale of ammunition and ammunition magazines will be generally prohibited unless the buyer shows an ammunition certificate and a driver's license or other valid identification or has a handgun permit, gun dealer sale permit or long gun or handgun eligibility certificate.
People who've been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility, however, will now have to wait longer for such permits. Mary Kate Mason, a spokeswoman for the Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services, said the agency has always reported involuntary commitments to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System that occurred over the last 12 months. Under the new law, that review period will be extended to the previous 60 months.
Mason said the department is working on meeting another part of the law that will require the agency to report voluntary psychiatric admissions starting Oct. 1. She said a committee of attorneys and experts is working on a way to provide the information confidentially.
"We're obviously very concerned that people's information is kept private so that people will still come to treatment," she said.

THE CT WATCHDOG: Beware competitive electric rates
Roula Karavitis of Monroe is one of the more recent victims of Connecticut's electric deregulation program.
Believing the family would save money on its electric bill, last year Karavitis switched from Connecticut Light & Power to North American Power, one of the scores of alternative suppliers in Connecticut.
Karavitis signed up with an introductory rate of 6.99 cents per kwh, which was promised for "up to three months."
The operate words are "up to."
The first month the family did receive the advertised rate, which was cheaper than CL&P's 8.279 cent rate then.

Interview date: 5/13/2009
Run date: 5/18/2009
Movies Home / Entertainment Channel / Bullz-Eye Home
If you saw "Fanboys," director Kyle Newman's love letter to the "Star Wars" franchise, in an actual theater, you can consider yourself very lucky. Although the film exceeded studio expectations and earned a far larger theatrical release than had originally been intended, it still came nowhere near playing in every market in the country…and that's a shame, because it's a very funny film which simultaneously pays tribute to the power of friendship and the power of the Force, making it all the more hard to believe that the Weinsteins sat on the damned thing for almost two years. Bullz-Eye had the opportunity to talk to Newman about the impending DVD release of "Fanboys," and we quizzed him about the studio's attempts to remove a key subplot of the film, how LucasFilm helped add sonic touches to the film that even the geekiest of the geeky might not be able to hear the first time around, and if he thinks we're likely ever see "The Star Wars Holiday Special" released on DVD.
Bullz-Eye: Hey, Kyle, how're you doing?
Kyle Newman: Good! How are you?
BE: Not bad! It's a pleasure to talk with you.
KN: I did catch you at the right time, didn't I?
BE: Absolutely. In fact, I had just confirmed a few minutes ago that we are indeed now Facebook friends.
KN: (Laughs) Oh, good.
BE: Well, I literally just finished watching "Fanboys" a few minutes ago, and I absolutely loved it.
KN: Oh, that's awesome, man. I'm glad to hear that!
BE: I should warn you, though, that I was writing my questions down as I watched, so I hope you'll forgive me if they sound a bit stream-of-consciousness as I ask them.
KN: Hey, go for it!
BE: Okay, cool. Well, first off, then, I loved the scene at the beginning, where Windows (Jay Baruchel) decried the importance of Boba Fett and dismissed him by comparing him to the Rocketeer was great.
KN: (Laughs) Yeah, and Jay improvised a little bit in there, too, which was awesome.
BE: You even got in a dig at Michael Bay in the process.
KN: You know, I like Michael Bay, but this was the perspective of these characters, and the era was 1998, where he was delivering some pretty bad-ass movies.
BE: I don't have the stats handy of how many movies Christopher McDonald has stolen in his career, but he comes close whenever he's on the screen in "Fanboys" as Big Chuck.
KN: Yeah, he's...he's awesome. It was one of those coups where it was, like, "Really? We can get him to come down? That'd be awesome!" He's a legend, you know? We were all Christopher McDonald fans, and I'd seen him in so many movies since I was a kid, so it was great to have him on the set. It was one of those…well, it was like that with a lot of those cameos, whenever they'd come on. Every day we had another name cameo, and it was just so great: Billy Dee Williams, William Shatner, Christopher McDonald, Danny McBride, David Denman, Kevin Smith…they were all there. Every day, it was somebody from some other thing. It was a really cool set to be on, and it kept people on their toes, because you were always working with somebody new.
BE: Did you get any feedback from the various actors who had jokes more or less made at their expense during the film? Like, for instance, Windows is described as "a white Billy Dee Williams" at one point.
KN: No, we didn't get any feedback about that. You know, at one point, I…I'm trying to think. (Pauses) No, nobody's taken any offense to it. Nobody's really responded to it! (Laughs)
BE: So no comment, then, from Carrie Fisher about the line where someone calls their left hand "Leia"?
KN: No, she didn't say anything about that. And she totally went for the kiss scene, too! At one point, we were trying to rewrite that scene, and she just wanted to send them a little more positively on their journey, because she was kind of a real key factor. And we added this bit back in where she helps them at the end of her scene, but we were debating how it would go. We gave her three versions, and one of them had Linus, Chris Marquette's character, kissing her. And I was, like, "Oh, just stick it in, we'll see what happens. She's not going to get angry at us." And she came back and said, "This one." "What, the kiss one?" "Yes. Let's do it." "Awesome! Okay!" So she just went for it, y'know?
BE: So when you did that sequence, did you have the idea to do the "I love you" / "I know" exchange between them immediately?
KN: Well, no. We had the idea…he says, "I love you," but "I know" was not originally in it.
BE: I noticed the volume was a little bit lighter on her line.
KN: We missed the opportunity there, so what happened was that we were mixing the movie – this was a year and a half later – and I'm up at Skywalker Sound, and a couple of people had brought it to my attention, and I had already thought of this: wouldn't it be great if we could get "I know"? And everybody kept saying, "You've got to do that!" And I'm, like, "I know, but how do I do that?" So I'm at Skywalker Sound, and I just happened to throw it out there on one of the last days that we were mixing: "Do you guys have any old 'Return of the Jedi' audio tapes?" "Yeah, why?" "I wanted to see if we could find this line." And within 40 minutes, we had approvals. They found the piece, they came down with this old reel-to-reel tape, and said, "Here it is. It's isolated, cleaned Carrie Fisher audio from 'Return of the Jedi' for you, from that scene." "WHAT?" (Laughs) And we got approvals from LucasFilm and Carrie Fisher. She was, like, "If they're cool with it, I'm cool with it." And the next thing you know, we're splicing that into the movie, and we had the "I know." It was very much a detail we added later, and only because we were working in conjunction with Skywalker Sound and had the approval from the Lucas camp to do it, because they were so much behind us to make this thing all it could be. So it was a really cool, fortunate thing that we got to add that joke in there.
BE: So did your heart just soar when Lucas offered you the use of the official "Star Wars" sound effects?
KN: Yeah. For me, I always said, "We need to go to Skywalker Sound." I wanted to layer in real world sounds with "Star Wars" sounds, so there's stuff that's familiar to fans, but there's also the sound of the Millennium Falcon interior in there. Maybe if you're really astute and have watched the movie a million times, you'd know all of these ambient sounds, even. Sometimes they're more on the surface, like Salacious Crumb, or just details like when R2 twirps to life and screams across the screen. Those are very obvious and familiar, but there are little subtle things throughout the entire movie, like, when the doors do open, they go… (Reproduces sound effect) They're all real "Star Wars" effects, and we tried to do a THX filtration on their voices. All that stuff we were able to do because of LucasFilm, so once I knew that we were going to be able to lock it in and work out a deal, they were, like, "Come work here." They really wanted us to be there, and that's when I knew that we were going to be able to make this movie all it could be, with all the details. I was, like, "Yes! We're going to get to do all the small things we've always talked about!" We were going to be able to make them real and not have to worry about trying to emulate them. We were going to be able to get the real thing!
BE: So how hard, then, was it to make the film without even knowing for sure if LucasFilm would approve it in the end?
KN: Well, after a lot of people in Hollywood had read the script and really fell in love with it, the next step was, "Well, what does George Lucas think about it?" So we had to go and, y'know, get that approval. And before we really went down the road of spending any money on it, beyond the fact that we already had a script and the cast was attached, Kevin Spacey had a phone call to George Lucas and really told him, "We're making a love letter to your franchise and to the fans, and we're not going to be malicious." And I don't know what the rest of the conversation was, but it all worked out well. (Laughs) We got permission to move down that path, and every time we went to them with something new, they were just really open to accommodating us. They trusted us and tended to really let us have free reign in their world.
BE: You mentioned Kevin Spacey. How did he come to be involved in the project as a producer?
KN: One of the producers who was very involved in the project, Evan Astrowsky, started working with Kevin's company, Trigger Street, and he brought it to their attention, and they loved it, and Kevin loved it, and he said, "Let's make this happen. How can we help you make it happen?" And our team just kept building, and Kevin became a really key force in it, like a godfather on the project, really, shepherding it whenever we needed that.
BE: So what's the deal with Hollywood's love affair with Rush all of a sudden? First you guys spotlighted them, then "I Love You, Man" spotlighted them, too.
KN: I don't know! I think people watched our movie, or maybe people knew our script, since it had been in there forever, and figured, "Hey, that movie's not coming out, so let's use their Rush bit." (Laughs) I don't know. Rush has always been an integral part of this, Hutch's character has always been a Rush fanatic, and all they're ever supposed to listen to is Rush. There were supposed to be more Rush tracks in the movie, but with our budget, we couldn't afford them.
BE: There's a trivia question asked of one of the characters, where he's challenged to come up with the name of Chewbacca's home planet, and he answers it correctly: Kashyyyk. Are we supposed to infer that he knows this because he's seen "The Star Wars Holiday Special"?
KN: (Laughs) Yes! The only real filmic reference to Kashyyyk was in 2005, in "Revenge of the Sith," and our film predates that by seven years, so, yes, it's a "Holiday Special" expanded universe reference. It's full of little facts, little details that you wouldn't necessarily remember. Like, that Plo Koon is from Kel Dor, or whatever. (Laughs)
BE: So with your access to the Lucas camp, did you dare to ask Lucas himself if he'd ever release the holiday special?
KN: I've asked some other people over there, and I said, "You know, so many people have bootlegged it, and it's out there, so you might as well at least regulate it and capitalize on it." But I think it would be sanctioning it, so, yeah, I don't think that's ever going to happen. I mean, I was, like, "What about as a bonus feature on a DVD?" I want to make "The Stars Wars Holiday Special, Pt. 2" as a fan film, just for fun. I think everybody should see the holiday special to realize how bad something can be. There are some cool things in there, but it's two hours long, and you could probably cut it down to about two minutes and twelve seconds of cool material. (Laughs) The animated Boba Fett sequence is great, and there's some cool stuff, but overall, the whole format of a variety show in the "Star Wars" universe is just a train wreck.
BE: Actually, you mentioned Boba Fett. I was just wondering: do you know if the screenwriters high-fived themselves when they came up with the line, "Let's go, Boba fags"?
KN: (Laughs) I know we all thought it was hilarious, but I'm trying to think who actually came up with the line. It was one of the lines where, every time we said it, we were laughing.
BE: I saw in the deleted scenes that William Katt originally played the part of the Skywalker Ranch security head that's played by Danny McBride in the film. Was it just a case of, "Sorry, Bill, but Danny McBride's schedule just opened up"?
KN: The Danny McBride stuff was shot a year and a half later. William Katt's scene was great, which is why we included it on the DVD, and I liked what he did, but obviously we were shooting under a very tight schedule, and at that point, we were talking about maybe trying to get George Lucas's voice in the William Katt scene…and, obviously, that didn't happen. But, yeah, I think it was that Danny McBride was available, and they wanted to try and put as many cameos of big comic names into the film as they possibly could, so that's why they shot that.
BE: Do you remember how you felt when you they first said, "Uh, yeah, we'd like you to cut out the whole cancer subplot"?
KN: Well, you know, I was waiting for them to say something like that, because I knew it was the one thing…when we pitched it to everybody, this was something I said, "This is something that's not changing." Because I knew that was the first spot where studios would go, saying, "Well, our test groups say that cancer's not funny." But the bottom line is that we test screened this movie to hundreds of people, and no one ever mentioned cancer. Not one single test card. That was just, like, a kneejerk idea by someone else that hadn't been to any test screenings and didn't see the fan response to the film. Cancer was…I mean, the amount that cancer is in the movie now is still comparable to what was in it before, minus one or two tiny visual moments. There's one where he throws his pill bottle into the Grand Canyon, and another where you see that he's run out of pills. They're two visual things, and it helps keep it alive emotionally without it being really heavy. And you've seen the movie: it's not really obtrusive or heavy. It just gives them a catalyst, it gives them a deadline, it gives the movie a little bit of weight and purpose, and it gives them heart, so they're not just, like, criminals trying to steal something. There's a reason for all this. We never got into all the details of the therapy, and there's no depressing scene of Linus shaving his head, or his funeral. The context that was in there was only in a very positive way, helping the story and giving it heart and purpose, so it just seemed like, "What are you talking about?" (Laughs) I don't even think the movie's interesting any more if you do that.
BE: It's about the only thing that could make a crazy trip like that work, really.
KN: Yeah, otherwise, it's very unappealing and just seems like a brainless, heartless movie. The heart was the key to our script. That's why people responded to it, that's why LucasFilm gave us the permission they did. The movie had heart. It's about friends. It wasn't about impatient fans trying to steal something. So, ultimately, people came to their senses and allowed us to put it all back in.
BE: Did every single member of the cast fall in love with Kristen Bell?
KN: I think so, yes. (Laughs) Yeah, actually, you know, she was a good unifying force on the set. She came in, and everybody was on their most charismatic, good behavior. It was a good energy to have her there, to kind of balance what was going on with all the guys. She's just a whole lot of fun to have on a set. She's very talented, and it really made a good dynamic, all the scenes she was in.
BE: During the screenings, in the scene where she lifts her top, did you notice the audience collectively lean sideways in a desperate attempt to see her breasts?
KN: (Laughs) Yeah, some people did! And they were, like, "Awwwwwww, there's a tie fighter blocking them! That's bullshit!"
BE: But if they've got to be blocked...
KN: That's right: at least it's by something "Star Wars."
BE: There's a deleted scene called "Sex with an Ewok or a Wookie." Was that a case where you decided, "Okay, this might be too geeky even for this film"?
KN: No, I wanted that scene in there! We never filmed it as a spot in the story; it was supposed to be an end-credits scene, just a moment from their trip, where you see them all back together with Linus, having fun while the credits were rolling. But, ultimately, they just never wanted to put it in an end-credits window. It is what it is, but I really liked it. I thought it was a fun moment between them, and I think it's a funny scene. They're all good in it, and you see in that one take the dynamics of how they worked as friends, how they liked to mess with Windows, and just how everyone operates in that group. It's a fun scene.
BE: They definitely have a great chemistry together.
KN: Oh, yeah.
BE: So what's your personal "Episode 1" experience? When you first heard the 20th Century Fox fanfare begin, did you start bawling like a baby?
KN: Um… (Laughs) No, but I was giddy. I saw the movie so many times in the theater, and I loved it.
BE: Hey, I saw it three times in the first 24 hours. My two roommates and I went to see the midnight showing, then I think we went to Denny's afterwards, headed home to get some sleep, saw it again the next morning, took a nap, then saw it one more time that afternoon.
KN: I think I saw it three times in the first 24 hours, too! And I ended up seeing it seven times in the first five days. I went crazy! (Laughs) I saw one back to back. I got out, jumped in line with some other people who were holding my spot, and walked right back in again. And then I went the next morning at, like, 11 AM!
BE: How many of those fanboy trivia questions did you have to go through before deciding on the ones you ultimately used in the film?
KN: That was tricky, you know? There's a balance you have to walk, because, obviously, your core audience is the diehard people who know these answers like the back of their hand, and then you have people who like "Star Wars" but couldn't tell you who Luke's co-pilot was. They love "The Empire Strikes Back," and it's one of their favorite movies, but they just don't know those kinds of details. So you're trying to walk a fine line where you keep it interesting and not easy for everyone. It was hard, actually, harder than you think, just trying to balance the right type of minutiae and detail to put in, but to not make it so detailed that it alienates everyone, but then also not to make it so simple that people say, "This movie is for idiots, not real fans!" So it's an interesting dichotomy there: how do you appeal to both? But I think we did a good job picking the right ones that are just specific enough. I've seen people on Twitter talking about it. "I actually knew the answers to the questions, I guess I'm a super nerd!" So people refer to the questions.
BE: And, lastly, what do you say to the suggestion that the new "Star Trek" film kicks the ass of any of the three prequels?
KN: No way. (Laughs) I mean, I like the new "Star Trek" film. I enjoyed it, I felt it was a really good first act, and it got everything mapped out, organized, introduced all these new actors playing the characters, and reset the timeline. But there's still so much more drama and history and character stuff going on in the "Star Wars" prequels. I think people give them a bad rap because they just recycle what USA Today said about them in, like, 1999. (Laughs) "Well, USA Today's review gave them two stars, so I hate 'Star Wars' now!" But if you really watch the prequels again, they're great movies, especially if you watch them sequentially. I just look at all six movies as one giant story of Anakin Skywalker, so I'm not going to say, "Well, I like Chapter 1, but I don't like Chapter 4, and…" That's the story that George Lucas had to tell, and you don't like them, then you probably don't like "Star Wars," because that's the story. I love the prequels; I know people who don't. "Star Trek" is great, but I think it's just a new beginning, and I want to see where it goes. Obviously, it's a phenomenal movie, the effects were great, the cast was great, and it had a great energy to it. But, honestly, the aliens in the new "Star Trek" were nowhere near as cool as anything in a "Star Wars" film. Like, the green alien girl, and some guy in a bar, they just felt like "Men in Black III" leftovers. Except for Keenser. That new little character is great. He's my favorite "Star Trek" character, maybe ever. He should get his own space station. Like, Deep Space Ten.
BE: Maybe he'll get his own series of webisodes.
KN: Yeah, 'cause he's awesome. But other than that, the alien stuff was nowhere near on par with "Star Wars." The effects were impeccable, but…look, "Star Trek" is back on track, I would say, after ten years of mishaps and bad television and subpar movies. It's back on track to being a worthy adversary to "Star Wars."
BE: Oh, just in closing, I liked the fact that you ended "Fanboys," just as Episode 1 was beginning, by having them ask the question, "What if the movie sucks?"
KN: Yeah, well, you have to keep it real, and that's a question that a lot of people asked. In the zeitgeist, people were wondering, "Yeah, we're excited for this movie, and we all came from the same childhood and have the same nostalgia and had 'Star Wars' birthday cakes and bedsheets, and we're looking forward to it, but…what if it sucks?" And, invariably, the movie was always going to be a letdown. How could it be great when you've had sixteen years of hype and sixteen years of children directing it in their head and imagining what it should be, and then you get the story that George had in his head? You're pitting imagination and expectations against something very specific. There was never going to be a movie that appealed to every single person, because people expected the films to mature with them as well, and for the style and the nature of the storytelling to be as advanced as they were now, as adults. And you're putting a lot on a single movie. It's very selfish to expect a movie to age with you. It's a prequel. So I looked at it very objectively, and, y'know, "Star Wars" is made for a certain type of audience and a certain kind of age group. It's definitely an introductory-level movie for children. It appeals to kids first and foremost. It wasn't like it was R-rated and trying to be, like, "The Matrix." It stayed true to its roots, with very objective storytelling. It didn't get into subjective and handheld and all that. It fit in with the style of the others.
BE: All right, man, it's been a pleasure talking to you. Obviously, you can tell that I really dug the film, so I'm glad to have had the chance to talk to you about it,KN: Thank you very much, man. Take care, Will!

In the last module, DeZyre faculty will assist you with:
This Hadoop certification exam tests a candidate's ability to implement batch data processing, real-time processing, and interactive processing on Hadoop in HDInsight. The Microsoft Hadoop certification exam 70-775 aims to test a candidates ability to accomplish the below mentioned technical tasks –
The Hadoop Projects at DeZyre are based on real use cases from the industry. Working on Hadoop projects will solidify your working knowledge in Hadoop. In any Hadoop project - the process remains the same. Gathering the data, opening it in HDFS, identifying the attributes required for analysis, cleaning the data and then doing the transformation in analysis. But there are different projects that students can practice on, because it is a challenge to understand a particular set of data if you are not from that field.
In the DeZyre 1-1 mentor track, you can choose any of the following projects to work on. You will be assigned an Industry mentor, who will oversee your project and guide you throughout the duration of the Hadoop Project. You will get 6 hours of 1-1 sessions with the mentors.
Once you complete the final project, you will receive the certificate in Big Data and Hadoop from DeZyre. You can also mention this Hadoop project that you worked on, in your resume and on your LinkedIn profile. Let's get started.
Medicare is a Govenrment heatlh insurance program. Every month in your paycheck you will see a deduction for Medicare. The way this program works is - every month from your paycheck, the Govt. deducts an amount, whether you like it or not. Once you turn 65 or when you retire, or if someone turns out to be terminally ill, Medicare will give health insurance benefits throughout the remaining life of that person.
In this project, you will need to do some analysis of medicare data. This is a complicated data set. This is because private companies administer this program. It means Medicare claims are offered by private companies. The private companies, in order to attract the customers, will list some other benefits, apart from the basic benefits listed by the Govt. scheme and therefore will charge something extra for it. Medicare maintains the details of what plans are available in each county, across the country. Also these details include - what is the plan, who is providing it, what are the benefits offered in this plan and the charges for that. All this information is available in Medicare and is accessible.
In this project - you will directly get the data from Medicare, to perform analysis on the data. Different private companies offer a variety of Medicare plans in many counties. Since senior citizens have to enroll in these plans every year - it becomes important to choose the right plan, because every plan has different benefits and different charges for availing the benefits. For senior citizens - this is the biggest financial decision they make every year. Medicare data is focused on choosing the right Medicare plan. Some queries that you will be working on are:
All these questions need to be answered through big data analytics - so that it can help members choose the right kind of plan based on their requirements.
All mobile operators will have call records. Every day, all the calls that are made by people are recorded and a log file is maintained for these records. This is known as the CDR data. In this project, to get real insights on the data - you have to analyse over 100 million calls in the logs(each day). The objective of this analysis is to figure out how to resolve the call-drop issue. For example, if somebody is experiencing more than 17 call-drops in a month, then there is 90% chance that the person will drop out of the network.
You will need to perform the call-drop analysis on the call log data, on a daily basis, so that-
The reason this kind of analysis is becoming critical is - for a company, it is always cheaper to retain a customer than to acquire new customers. This will allow u to advise the tech support team to optimize the towers from which more call-drops are occuring, to expand the capacity of these towers from where there are call drops occuring. To do this per day data should be analysed. Per day the data produced for one mobile network is 100 million call records. Since it cannot be fit into one machine - you will need to split that into 2 million blocks - so that all of it can fit into one machine for simultaneous analysis.
In a bank, Hadoop tools can be used to predict mortgage defaulters and improve market segmentation. It requires you to move the data from multiple data warehouses into the Hadoop cluster and then build some queries on that data.
For market segmentation for increased business, you need to:
The requirement of this project, is to load the data into Hadoop clusters and build these queries.
You can build a listening platform based on Twitter data analysis. If a company wants to understand what people think about their products or services and what are the sentiments of their customers, they can turn to social media platforms like Twitter. To extract the comments that are related to the company, its products or brands, Hadoop can be used to gather that data and run some analysis on that data. You can build queries around the data like:
This kind of analysis is useful for the company for marketing campaigns and customer support. This will help curb distatified customers leaving bad comments in social media which could affect their brand.
In a short span of time, we have helped many people move up in their careers or change their career paths.

DeZyre's hadoop training follows a complete hands-on approach where professionals/students get to work on multiple hadoop projects that are based on real big data use cases in the industry.Apart from this DeZyre also has hundreds of other big data projects and hadoop projects for practice across diverse business domains that students can enrol for at a nominal fee per project.
Hadoop is an open source programming framework used to analyse large and sometimes unstructured data sets. Hadoop is an Apache project with contributions from Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Linkedin, Cloudera, Hortonworks etc. It is a Java based programming framework that quickly and cost efficiently processes data using a distributed environment. Hadoop programs are run across individual nodes that make up a cluster. These clusters provide a high level of fault tolerance and fail safe mechanisms since the framework can effortlessly transfer data from failed nodes to other nodes. Hadoop splits programs and data across many nodes in a cluster.
The Hadoop ecosystem consists of HDFS, MapReduce. This is accompanied by a series of other projects like Pig, Hive, Oozie, Zookeeper, Sqoop, Flume etc. There are various flavours of Hadoop that exist including Cloudera, Hortonworks and IBM Big Insights. Hadoop is increasingly used by enterprises due to its flexibility, scalability, fault tolerance and cost effectiveness. Anyone with a basic sql and database background will be able to learn hadoop.
Oozie is a scheduling component on top of hadoop for managing hadoop jobs. It is a java based web application that combines multiple jobs into a single logical unit of work. It was developed to simplify the workflow and coordination of hadoop jobs. Hadoop developers define actions and dependencies between these actions. Oozie then runs the workflow of dependent jobs i.e. it schedules various actions to be executed, once the dependencies have been met. Oozie consists of two important parts -
1) Workflow Engine - It stores and runs the workflows composed of Hadoop MapReduce jobs, hive jobs or pig jobs.
2) Coordinator Engine - Runs the workflow jobs based on the availability of data and scheduled time.

It is not necessary for one to have SQL knowledge to begin learning hadoop. For people, who have difficulty in working with java or have no knwoledge about java programming,some basic knowledge of SQL is a plus.However, there is no hard rule that you must know SQL but knowing the basics of SQL will give you the freedom to accomplish your Hadoop job using multiple components like Pig and Hive.
If you are getting started with Hadoop then you must read this post on -"Do we need SQL knowledge to learn Hadoop?"
Learning Hadoop is not a walk in the park, it takes some time to understand and gain practical experience on the hadoop ecosystem and its components. The best way to learn hadoop is to start reading popular hadoop books like – "Hadoop: The Definitive Guide", read some interesting and informative hadoop blogs or hadoop tutorials that will give you some theoretical knowledge about the hadoop architecture and various tools in the ecosystem. However, to get a hadoop job theoretical knowledge does not suffice and gaining hands-on working experience to get a hang of the hadoop ecosystem is a must to land a top gig as a hadoop developer or hadoop administrator. DeZyre's online hadoop training covers all the basics right from understanding "What is Hadoop?" to deploying your own big data application on the hadoop cluster. After the hadoop training, you can keep yourselves abreast with the latest tools and technologies in the hadoop ecosystem by working on hadoop projects in various business domains through Hackerday to add an extra feather to the cap on your hadoop resume.
A hadoop developer is responsible for actually programming and coding the business logic of big data applications using the various components- Pig, Hive, Hbase, etc of the hadoop ecosystem. The core responsibility of a Hadoop Developer is to load disparate datasets, perform analysis on them and unveil valuable insights. The job responsibilities of a Hadoop developer are like any other software developer but in the big data domain. Read More on Hadoop Developer – Job Responsibilities and Skills.
Hadoop Admin responsibilities are similar to that of system administrator responsibilities but a hadoop admin deals with the configuration, management and maintenance of hadoop clusters unlike a system admin who deals with servers. Quick overview of Hadoop Admin responsibilities –

The Hadoop Distributed File System [HDFS] is a highly fault tolerant distributed file system, that is designed to run on low-cost, commodity hardware. HDFS is a Java-based file system that forms the data management layer of Apache Hadoop. HDFS provides scalable and reliable data storage thereby making it apt for applications with big data sets. In Hadoop, data is broken into small 'blocks' and stored in several clusters so that the data can be analyzed at a faster speed. HDFS has master/slave architecture. The HDFS cluster has one NameNode - a master server that manages the file system and several DataNodes. A large data file is broken into small 'blocks' of data and these blocks are stored in the Data Nodes. Click to read more on HDFS.
Hadoop MapReduce is a programming framework which provides massive scalability across Hadoop clusters on commodity hardware. MapReduce concept is inspired by the 'Map' and 'Reduce' functions that can be seen in functional programming. MapReduce programs are written in Java. A MapReduce 'job' splits big data sets into independent 'blocks' and distributes them in the Hadoop cluster for fast processing. Hadoop MapReduce performs two separate tasks and operates on [key,value] pairs. The 'map' job takes a set of data' converts it into another set of data which breaks the individual elements into tuples [key,value] pairs. The 'reduce' job comes after the 'map' job. Where the output of the 'map' job is treated as input and these data tuples are combined into smaller set of tuples. Click to read more on MapReduce.
HBase is open source, distributed, non relational database which has been modeled after Google's 'BigTable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data'. Apache HBase provide BigTable like capabilities on top of Hadoop HDFS. Hbase allows applications to read/write and randomly access Big Data. Hbase is written in Java, built to scale and can handle massive data tables with billions of rows and columns. HBase does not support a structured query language like SQL. With HBase schemas have to be predefined and the column families have to be specified. But HBase schemas are very flexible, as in, new columns can be added to the families at any time - this way HBase adapts to the changing requirement of the applications.
Apache PIG is a platform which consists of a high level scripting language that is used with Hadoop. Apache PIG was designed to reduce the complexities of Java based MapReduce jobs. The high level language used in the platform is called PIG Latin. Apache PIG abstracts the Java MapReduce idiom into a notation which is similar to an SQL format. Apache PIG does not necessarily write queries for the data, but it allows creating a complex data flow which shows how the data will be transformed, using graphs which include multiple inputs, transforms and outputs. PIG Latin can be extended using UDFs [User Defined Functions] using any other scripting language like Java, Python or Ruby. Click to read more on Apache PIG.
Apache Hive was developed at Facebook. Hive runs on top of Apache Hadoop as an open source data warehouse system for querying and analyzing big data sets stored in Hadoop's HDFS. Hive provides a simple SQL like query language - Hive QL, which translates Hadoop MapReduce jobs into SQL like queries. Hive and PIG though perform the same kind of functions, like, data summarization, queries and analysis - Hive is more user friendly, as anyone with a SQL or relational database background can work on it. HiveQL supports custom MapReduce jobs to be plugged into queries. But Hive is not built to support OTPL workloads. It means there can be no real time queries or row level updates made. Click to read more on Apache Hive.
Sqoop was designed to transfer structured data from relational databases to Hadoop. Sqoop is a 'SQL-to-Hadoop' command line tool which is used to import individual tables or entire databases into files in HDFS. This data is transformed into Hadoop MapReduce and again the data is transferred back to the relational database. It is not possible for MapReduce jobs to join with data directly on separate platforms. The database servers will suffer a high load due to concurrent connections while the MapReduce jobs are running. Instead if MapReduce jobs join with the data that is loaded on HDFS, it will further speed up the process. Sqoop automates this entire process with a single command line.
Apache Flume is a highly reliable distributed service used for collecting, aggregating and moving huge volumes of streaming data into the centralized HDFS. It has a simple and flexible architecture which works well while collecting and defining unstructured log data from different sources. Flume defines a unit of data as an 'event'. These events will then flow through one or more Flume agents to reach its destination. This agent is a Java process which hosts these 'events' during the data flow. Apache Flume components are a combination of sources, channels and sinks. Apache Flume sources, consumes events. Channels transfer events to their sinks. Sinks provides the Flume agent with pluggable output capability. Click to read more on Apache Flume.
Apache Zookeeper(often referred to as the "King of Coordination" in Hadoop) is high-performance, replicated synchronization service which provides operational services to a Hadoop cluster. Zookeeper was originally built at Yahoo in order to centralize infrastructure and services and provide synchronization across a Hadoop cluster. Since then, Apache Zoopkeeper has grown into a full standard of co-ordination on its own. It is now used by Storm, Hadoop, HBase, Elastic search and other distributed computing frameworks. Zookeeper allows distributed processes to co-ordinate with each other through a shared hierarchical name space of data registers knows as znodes. This will look like a normal file system, but Zookeeper provides higher reliability through redundant services.

These short Hadoop tutorials help boost in-depth knowledge around each of the components in the Hadoop ecosystem as they are in the form of advanced lessons for a quick memory recap of all that you learnt in your Hadoop training course. With to-the-point solutions to every problem a professional might encounter, while using any of the Hadoop components, these short Hadoop tutorials can be your guide to working with Hadoop on a daily basis.
If it is a 100GB file then it should be created as an Hive External Table. When creating a Hive External Table , the data itself will be stored on HDFS in the specified filepath but Hive will create a map of the data in the metastore and the managed table will store data in Hive. Instead of speciifying just the filepath , one can also specify a directory of files as long as they have the same strcuture.
i) For processing really BIG DATA - If the business use-case you are tackling has atleast terabytes or petabytes of data then Hadoop is your go-to framework of choice. There are tons of other tools available for not-so large datasets.
ii) For stroing diverse data - Hadoop used for storing and processing any kind of data be it plain text files, binary format files, images.
iii) Hadoop is used for parallel data processing use-cases.
The Namenode contains metadata about each and every file in HDFS. If the number of files is more, more will be the metadata. Namenode loads all the metadata information in-memory for speed, thus having many small files will make the metadata information big enough that will exceed the size of the memory on the Namenode.
When writing a file in HDFS , there are two types of block sizes -one is the underlying file systems block size and the other is the HDFS's block size.The underlying file system will store the file as increments of its block size on the actual raw disk so it will not consume the complete 64MB of disk space.
The following syntax can be used on the Linux command line to copy the file -
hadoop fs -put localfile hdfsfile
hadoop fs -copyFromLocal localfile hdfsfile
No it is not possible to recover the filesystem from datanodes if the namenode loses its only copy of the fsimage file. This is the reason it is always suggested to configure dfs.namenode.name.dir to write to two filesystems on different physical hosts and make use of the secondary Namenode.
There are different ways to write a mapreduce job by incorporating non-java code.
The tiny toy elephant's scalability has been validated on hadoop clusters of up to 4000 nodes . Sort performance of hadoop on 900 nodes, 1400 nodes and 2000 nodes is good and it takes approx. 1.8 hours, 2.2 hours and 2.5 hours to sort 9TB, 14TB and 20TB of data respectively.
Use the following steps to check if HDFS is running or not –
List all the active daemons using the jps command. The most appropriate command would be –
hadoop dfsadmin –report
The above command will list all the details of data nodes which is nothing but the hdfs.
Or you can also use the cat command with any filename available at the HDFS location.
Apache Hadoop in itself does not require SSH passwordless access but hadoop provided shell scripts such as start-mapred.sh and start-dfs.sh make use of SSH to start and top daemons. This holds good in particular when there is a large hadoop cluster to be managed. However, the daemons can also be started manually on individual nodes without the need of SSH script.

MythWeb ssh tunnel howto
I am going to briefly describe how to connect to mythweb that is behind a firewall in a router. I will assume you have mythweb running. If you need help with that please see the mythweb documentation: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/ I will also assume that you know how to forward ports on your router. This is different for each router so I will not try and cover that here. You can consult the documentation that came with your router for instructions on how to do that. You will need to forward port 22 to the ipaddress that your computer with mythtv is running. To find out the ipaddress type:
and look for the following line:
inet addr:192.168.1.104 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
It should be under the eth0 section. If you are running multiple ethernet cards then it is up to you to figure out which section you need. Your numbers may be different but you specifically need the number that is where the number 192.168.1.104 is in my example above.
To connect you will need ssh. The version I am currently using is OpenSSH 3.8.1p1. Most UNIX variants come with ssh and if they don't it should be easy to get. For windows you can use cygwin, which emulates a UNIX environment, or you can use an ssh program like PuTTY. If you need to use windows on a daily basis I would recommend installing cygwin because it has a lot of other UNIX tools other than just ssh. If you are somewhere and don't want to install a lot of stuff, PuTTY is a great solution because it is one .exe file so there is no install, you just run it. First I will briefly cover ssh.
ssh stands for secure shell and is used most to connect to a remote machine using encryption so no one can eavesdrop. To connect to a remote machine is easy, just type:
ssh username@remotedomain
my username is cflynn and on my local network I want to connect to 192.168.1.104 (you can use the ip address instead of a domain name like somewhere.com which you may not have) in this case I would type: "ssh firstname.lastname@example.com" It will ask me if I want to accept the key into my keychain the first time, say yes. It will then ask your for you password. You are now connected to your remote computer and can do pretty much whatever you could if you were connected to that computer. Putty works similarly except when you run it you get a dialog box and you just need to put the user@remotedomain line in the field for "Host Name (or IP address)" but leave the Port number alone. (It should be 22)
Now this will let you do most things but it won't let you run X11 programs. For this you can give it the -X flag but I am not going to go into that here since our main concern is mythweb.
To foward a port you need to use the -L option and it will look something like this:
ssh -L <local port>:localhost:<remote port> user@remotedomain
The local port is what you connect your web browser to. The default web port is port 80. If you are already running a web server on your local computer you can specify another port here and then point your web browser to that port. (examples to follow) the line localhost is where the connection to your browser will happen, it should be your computer. The default domain name is localhost but if that doesn't work you can use the ip address 127.0.0.1 which is called a loopback because it points to the computer you are on. The remote port is the port on the remote computer that the web browser is running. This too will most likely be port 80 but if you are running your web server on a different port, then that gets specified here. user@remotedomain is just like above.
Got all that? So an example would be:
ssh -L 80:localhost:80 email@example.com
This will prompt you for a password and it will seem like all you did was ssh to your remote computer. Now open up your web browser and point it to: http://localhost/mythweb/ (note: You need to keep the terminal window that you typed the ssh command open or the ssh tunnel will close) Now if you don't have a domain name, just use your WAN ipaddress. Usually you can find that information from your router.
Now if you are running a web server on your local computer, you will need to use a different port. In this case we'll use 8080 because it's a nice number. In this case you would type:
ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 email@example.com
Notice the remote port stays the same. Now point your browser to the new port:
To tunnel using PuTTY, in the connection dialog box go to Connection->SSH->Tunnels and at the bottom for the source port is the same as the <local port> above and the destination should be: "localhost<remote port>. Also below that make sure local is selected. Then click the add button. Remember, don't close the putty window or your tunnel will close as well.

The Cry "Dangerous Game" promo
February 3, 2014
I was introduced to The Cry in early 2012 when I stumbled across the then-digital only release of their S/T debut album. Delivering twelve power pop tracks in the Exploding Hearts vein I was completely blown away by their songwriting skills and impeccable delivery. Well, two years have passed and the band have just finished up recording their second album and had the courtesy of sending me a promo, to which I'm much obliged.
Kicking off with the B.T.O.-esque Discotheque, the band launches into ten tracks of perfectly written power pop gems with a healthy dose of rock 'n' roll, garage and glam thrown in for good measure – and there's even some shuffle to boot! Influences intact I still hear a band that's matured and have taken their songwriting skills to a whole new level. Somehow this affair got me thinking of The Clash circa Give Them Enough Rope – not that they sound anything like it, but I can sense a similar development as touring, writing and gigging made them gel as a band that in a similar manner let their influences shine through without aping anyone.
The end result is a true party album with ten consecutive hits, a great sounding effort delivered with sweat and passion and every time it ends I find myself wanting to hear more – the tell-tale sign of a truly great record. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this made Best of 2014 lists towards the end of the year. A+. Get it.

Criterion Games, creator of the much-loved Burnout franchise, is to step away from the racing game genre to make something new, the studio's boss Alex Ward has revealed.
Ward took to Twitter in order to quell fan expectations of a Criterion-developed new Burnout, Need for Speed or Road Rash game.
"Here is what I want folks to know," he Tweeted. "Some folks are eternally disappointed. Nothing I can do about that. So many tweets asking for new Burnout.
"Equally many tweets asking for a new NFS game from us. Also Road Rash. Whilst I love all of those games, I am personally not doing any.
Ward continued: "After over a decade of making racing games it's time to make something new. It is early days thus I have nothing to 'announce' or talk about.
"I will do my best to keep folks in the loop who want to follow what we play or what inspires us. Or what we might be listening to.
"But if you are following me expecting some Megaton of a new Burnout game, or an Underground remake then I have to disappoint you."
Regarding Burnout, Ward said that the studio isn't done with the franchise and will return to it "when it feels right".
A return of "gun porn" shooter Black - last seen on PS2 and Xbox - looks less likely, however.
"No Black2 either folks," wrote Ward. "Volumes to tell on that topic, but will save that for when I get a book deal... "
With EA's Ghost Games studio working on a new Need for Speed title this leaves Ward and his team able to focus on something entirely new. Let's just hope some of Criterion's magic rubs off on the Swedish development team.

Gibson strong early, but done in by two-out hits
Twins righty allows two runs through six, hurt by three-run seventh
MINNEAPOLIS -- Kyle Gibson has been the Twins' most consistent starter early this season, and appeared well on his way to another quality start against the Dodgers.
But Gibson had trouble getting out of two-out jams, and faltered late, getting outdueled by Zack Greinke in a 6-4 loss to the Dodgers on a cold, rainy Wednesday night at Target Field.
Gibson, who saw his scheduled starts Sunday and Tuesday pushed back because of rainouts, was sharp early in the game and went 6 2/3 innings, but was charged with three runs in the seventh. The right-hander gave up five runs on nine hits and three walks with two strikeouts.
The Twins rallied with three runs in the ninth, but it wasn't enough, handing Gibson his second defeat of the young season.
"It's a tough loss," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We kept playing and got after it. I thought Gibson deserved better. He made good pitches, but they put them in the right places on him there. I thought he threw the ball pretty good."
Gibson allowed just two runs through his first six innings, with the Dodgers scoring twice in the third. Hanley Ramirez drove home the first run on a two-out RBI single to left field, scoring former Twins catcher Drew Butera on a play that was challenged by Gardenhire and confirmed by instant replay. Adrian Gonzalez followed with an RBI single after Ramirez's run-scoring single.
Gibson was again just one out away from getting out of a jam in the seventh, but gave up a two-out single to Matt Kemp to advance Yasiel Puig to third after he opened the inning with a single to left field. Gardenhire opted to let Gibson face the left-handed-hitting Andre Ethier despite having left-hander Brian Duensing warmed up in the bullpen, and the decision backfired. Ethier dropped in a bloop RBI double to field to score Puig and advance Kemp to third.
"It was a feather this way and a feather that way," Gardenhire said. "Nobody was killing him by any means. Even the last lefty there, it was a broken bat that ended up in left field."
Right-hander Michael Tonkin was brought in to face Juan Uribe and promptly gave up a two-run single down the right-field line on the first pitch. It robbed Gibson of a quality start, as both runs were charged to Gibson.
"I fell behind a lot of guys tonight and had to work from behind," said Gibson, who now has a 4.34 ERA in five outings. "In situations where I was behind in the count, they really didn't square up too many hits but they were able to get them over the infielders' heads. So they did a good job."
It was more than enough for Greinke, who surrendered just one unearned run on seven hits and a walk with six strikeouts over six-plus innings. It extended his streak to 18 consecutive starts of at least five innings without allowing more than two runs, the longest such streak since 1914.
"Zack was good again," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "That team over there is tough. They make you throw the ball over the plate and they're going to keep fighting you. But Zack continued to make pitches and do what he keeps doing every time out."
The Twins scored their lone run against Greinke in the second, keyed by a leadoff single from Josmil Pinto and a passed ball from Butera that advanced him to second. Eduardo Escobar brought home Pinto with an RBI double on his first of four hits.
Minnesota had a chance to rally in the seventh, when Kurt Suzuki led off the inning with a double to chase Greinke. The Twins loaded the bases with two outs, but Trevor Plouffe popped out to shortstop on a 3-0 fastball from right-hander Chris Withrow.
"It was a chance for him getting into a fastball situation and that's what we wanted to see," Gardenhire said. "It was probably a few inches too high, but he tried to get on top of it. I'd like to see him swing at one a little bit lower, but I'm happy he took a swing on it. In that situation, that's what he needs to do for us."
The Dodgers added an insurance run in the eighth against Duensing with Dee Gordon doubling with one out and scoring on a single from Puig that glanced off Escobar's glove at shortstop and into left field.
The Twins made it close in the ninth, scoring three runs with Escobar bringing home the first run on his career-high fourth hit. The Dodgers were forced to bring in closer Kenley Jansen with two outs and two on for Plouffe, who doubled down the left-field line to make it a two-run game. Representing the potential tying run, Chris Colabello grounded to short for the final out.
"We kept swinging," Gardenhire said. "We had some chances out there all the way up to the end. I'm happy with that, but they ultimately got the big hits when they had to."

City tearing down 600 homes, eliminating neighborhood blight
Not everyone is behind new plan
Cincinnati has a new plan for eliminating neighborhood blight.
The City Council will inject $10 million into a plan to demolish 600 run-down properties.
According to Council member P.G. Sittenfeld, the houses could be a danger to children who may try to play inside, or could be an enticement to potential squatters.
"So if there's a blighted property within 1,000 feet of a school zone, or in a dense family neighborhood, that's going to be bumped up the priority list." Sittenfeld said.
He said the Land Bank and Community Development Department are also ready to get involved once the buildings start coming down.
Eventually, those entities will make sure littered landfills don't pop up on the sites where blighted properties once stood.
Martha Dourson has lived in Northside for over 40 years and watched attitudes over abandoned homes change as blight crept in.
"Problems continue to mount so at some point people continue to say, 'Take it away, take it down,'" said Dourson.
Dourson would rather see the homes and buildings rescued and revitalized. Still, she is concerned the demolition project doesn't go far enough. Of the 600 homes slated to be torn down, only two are in Dourson's immediate area.
"We will be working with the city to see why there aren't more of the properties that we thought would be demolished not on the list," said Dourson.
Demolition of all 600 homes is expected to take all year.
The "Restoring Our Communities Initiative" said it has two other missions: The first is to allow neighbors to clean up blight without facing trespassing charges. The second; to hold banks accountable for run-down, foreclosed property.

These sexy BBW girls and chubster cuties are literally "TONS" of fun! Our horny fatties are packing XXL titties and ass with extra cushion for the pushin'! These mighty big sluts have a mouth-watering appetite for sex so grab your dick and click!
Gabor has found himself a nice, block-rockin' bitch with big tits and the fact that she's already naked doesn't hurt either! Taking her outside in the back, he takes off his shorts and Cynthia clamps her greedy lips around his cock before the shorts hit the ground. She starts off this afternoon romp with a hands-free blowjob, which results in gagging when he begins throat-fucking her. After that bit, Cynthia is on all fours while Gabor pounds that sweet fuckhole between those full pussy lips of hers. She's moaning loudly now. Her tits bounce and her round thighs quiver as the hardcore fucking does not let up. He ejaculates his nut on her face!
Every farmer knows you try to stay prepared for everything and Shane is that kind of guy. While out on a walk on the farm he spies a very large woman hiding in the trees. He takes one look at her and remembers how long its been since he had a woman and pulls out a side of bacon from his pouch and convinces her to suck on the dick in exchange for some bacon! Who can turn down bacon? This woman certainly can't so away she goes giving this horny dude exactly what he wants in exchange for a hearty meal.
Now this is a sick, twisted, and utterly hot take on fat porn - Melinda is on her knees out in a pig field, getting her bbw freak on with Janos Volt. For his part, he's acting like it's normal for giant fat chicks to be sucking him off in the pig pen. Maybe it is, and he leads a rather interesting life. Regardless, you'll see that she is dead set on giving him the most intense blowjob she can muster, then it's time to get completely filthy by fucking in the pig pen. It must be one interesting farm to have fat ladies that'll do this fucked up shit.
If nothing else, this ludicrous BBW sex video is sure to make you laugh! Huge and pallid fatty Era is milking one of the cows - and she happens to be completely naked! She takes one of the cows udders, squirting the milk all over her big natural tits. She loves feeling that hot spurt on her bosom! Just then, a curious half man, half cow hybrid enters the scene, shoving his fat cock into her mouth. This is far better than a boring cow udder! The man-cow screws the fat slut right there on the grass, pumping her full of hard dick in her sloppy vagina and making her moan. She eventually takes the salty load in her throat.
Melinda is one big but sexy slut. Buried under all of her rolls is a big juicy wet pussy. Our pair of studs Tibor and Gabor waste no time prepping her to show it to us. After fondling and kissing her rather large bobs they gently spread her massive legs to expose her womanhood in all its glory. As one gets a blow job the other spreads her moist pussy lips and plows her cunt long and hard. A full view of her clit while being hammered by a swollen sword allows us to imagine we are there. Her reward for all this effort is a massive orgasm and their love juiced spread all over her boobs.

Developing Android Apps & iOS Apps with the help of Cordova and PhoneGap has been capturing the market of mobile application development for quite sometimes now. The mobile app developers have the privilege of using their existing HTML, JS and CSS skills to develop cross-platform mobile application for iOS and Android, along with using the other platforms. Implementing Cordova and PhoneGap has a special benefit, which includes updating the current codebase for a single time and using it for all the platforms, instead of creating a separate code for each platform. This article states about the seven most eminent factors to consider before developing mobile app for iOS and Android through Cordova or PhoneGap.
Hire Mobile Application Development Company – Get a Project Quote – http://www.mobileapptelligence.com/enquiry.html
Choosing between Cordova and PhoneGap
Making a choice between Cordova and PhoneGap may seem to be difficult, but it is indeed very simple. Adobe owns PhoneGap which is accompanied with additional built-up service. One more element associated with PhoneGap is the fact that eventually additional service may or may not be offered and there may be charges associated for future use.
Apache is the owner of Cordova and it will always be maintained as the open source project. Both PhoneGap and Cordova have similar API and it is better to choose Cordova, until you want to utilize the additional features of PhoneGap.
Deciding the Plug-in
Plug-ins forms an eminent part of the Cordova development. Cordova comes with the minimal required APIs and you add the additional API according to the requirement of the project. The entire set of registered plug-in is available to you through the Cordova plug-in registry. There is something called the core set of "blessed" Cordova Plug-ins, which gives access to the battery, camera, geo-location, dialogs and many other features which are available across all the platforms.
There is certain third-party plug-ins which makes extra functionality like native sharing, analytics and many platform specific and device specific functionalities available for use. Cross-platform support is limited to the third-party plug-ins. What you need to confirm is the plug-ins and the version available in each platform, before deciding on the platform to use.
Deciding the Platform and version
Supporting iOS6, iOS7 and iOS8 and Android 4.4 (Kitkat, version 19) would mean that it is blessed with third-party plug-ins along with HTML and CSS3, which are modern browser friendly. The best example is the iOS apps for Face book and Twitter which only supports iOS6 and later. Supporting versions earlier to iOS5 is not easy and Cordova has assigned these versions as 3.5.
Version 5.1.1 is implemented in the first generation iPad and this makes these iPad users not able to download your apps unless you customize the application in XCode. The nest is support for 64-bits iOS device like the iPhone 5S for which you will have to use the current version of Cordova (3.5 and greater) or the other option is conducting customization with XCode.
The level of complication is more when you want to choose the legacy version for Android, which would depend on your needs. It is advisable to keep a track of the Android developer dashboard for the weekly update and statistics of the Android platform version. Play market don't form a part of the Android version 2.0 and before that, this makes the downloading of the apps difficult for these users. For Android version 2.3 which is the Gingerbread version 10, is not recommended to be used for the Cordova security guide. Many of the third party plug-ins is also not compatible with the Gingerbread version and it is prohibited from use. The number of users for the Android 3.x which is the Honeycomb version 11-14 has zero number of users, which means that it is not worthy to put in time and effort for testing this version.
When we speak about the Android version that is worth using, we can take into consideration version 4.4 which is the kitKat version 19. It renders excellent CSS3 and HTML support. This makes it possible for the mobile App developers to build their own iOS Cordova app for Android and view the same in the 4.4.x version of the Android device. For version 4.0- 4.3, which is the ice-cream sandwich and the Jelly bean version and version 14-18 would require the app developers to put in little more effort, specifically for the implementation of hardware accelerated CSS 3D transforms and scrollable divs. This would land in you spending majority of the UI bug-fixing time working on these versions.
Modernizr would be the approach that I would recommend for CSS and platform support as well as version fragmentation. Cordova device plug-in could be used for the detecting the OS and version along with rendering special class to the HTML or the body elements like iOS, Android and Jelly-bean. You can bring in a little variation to this concept by adding a class like "legacy" for some of the platform versions. This helps in simplifying the CSS selectors and allowing similar kind of platform and version differentiation.
Considering the Form factor
This is the question that is raised in relation to the device that you would support. Would it be a mobile phone or tablet from-factors or are you interested in providing a responsive and universal experience. These are the factors that would have an effect on the requirement for designer, developer and tester for your project. This is similar to the extra effort required for each platform and platform version or a new level of effort for the designers and developers required for each form-factor and break-point setting.
This could be anticipated with the extra level of effort associated with the testing requirement for each platform version with the extra level of effort put in by the designer or the developer.
Considering the offline support
By offline support we mean the function of the app when there is no availability of internet connection. Certain apps like the calculator don't require any internet connection, while there are other apps which don't function in the absence of internet connection. Cordova network or Cordova connection plug-in could be used for detecting the connection type along with handling online and offline detection.
Coping-up with XCode and Eclipse
There are certain elements associated with Cordova XCode implementation, which may not be liked by most of the app developers. Some examples would be hiding the status bar while launching the application, disabling of the universal application status and customization of some of the Cordova application setting sand plug-ins. When you have the intending of launching the developed app in the app store, it is essential to learn certain basic XCode development. Knowledge regarding Eclipse IDE is essential as it would enable direct change to the AndroidManifest.XML file.
Testing of the App
It is advisable to have more than one physical device associated with each version or platform. Identification of some of the major devices could be accomplished with the help of simulators and emulators, but having a real device for testing would be an excellent idea. In certain cases emulators give false positive or negative for the bugs. It also helps to get aware of certain specific bugs and issues with the platform, version and device.
Debugging of the Cordova application could turn out to be challenging in certain cases. But this challenge could be eased out with the help of chrome and safari dev tools. In case of the Android devices, you must be capable of choosing the tool, inspect the devices along with having full access to the application's HTML, CSS and JS. You will have access to the developer's panel with the enabling of debugging of iOS safari and Mac safari. You can reload the app with the help of Command + R instead of opening of safari developer panel, which could be painful.
All the important points mentioned for developing iOS and Android app with Cordova and Phone Gap would be helpful for the readers in taking decision.

Have you ever carried your ironing board through the lobby of a posh hotel? Neither had I until yesterday! (I would have taken a picture, but it would have only made the situation even more bizarre.) I'm at the Sewing Summit and having a grand time. It's so fun to meet people in real life. A blast.
So while I'm here, I will leave you with some fine fall foliage pictures of a drive up the canyon near our house a couple of weeks ago, to one of my favorite spotsCascade Springs.
I'll be back soon with stories (and maybe pictures if I would just remember to get out my camera) to share from this weekend. Plus a winner from the giveaway. Have a great one!

The size of a shrimp is indicated by the count or number of shrimp per pound. The smaller the number, the larger the shrimp. Shrimp size terminology varies from place to place, so the count is the most accurate way to call for shrimp in a recipe. A basic guideline is: 11 to 15 is jumbo; 16 to 20 is extra large; 21 to 30 is large; 31 to 35 is medium and 36 to 45 is small.
After cooking the shrimp, wash the pan with HEINZ Distilled White Vinegar to remove any fishy smell.

Local airports affected by possible FAA cuts
Workers at local air traffic control facilities could lose their jobs if Congress can't agree on a budget
The Federal Aviation Administration is bracing for major cuts that would impact four local airports. Those cuts will take effect on March 1 if Congress can't agree on a budget.
On Friday, the FAA revealed its backup plan, which includes closing four local air traffic control towers. XNA is not on the list, but some other towers they rely on are.
"The list was nice to see. It was nice to see we weren't on it. It was nice to see that Little Rock was not on it. We do have a concern that Fort Smith was on that list, and our approach control is from the Fort Smith tower," XNA Airport Director Kelly Johnson said.
Also on the list: Springdale, Fayetteville and Rogers -- all of which have air traffic control facilities that could soon be closing.
The FAA says it's part of the $600 million in cuts it will have to make if Congress can't agree on a budget.
"What I saw was the FAA's game plan, and that was to try and furlough folks one day a month. There's also a list of 100 air traffic towers that they're looking at closing. There's also a list of 60 towers where they will suspend nighttime coverage from midnight to early morning," Johnson said.
This means some people in our area would lose their jobs, and travelers can expect more delays.
"With the lines at the checkpoint, we're in pretty good shape with the staffing level we have here right now. Where you're going to run into problems are at those big facilities on your way back, where there are already lines where you wait 15, 25 minutes. They're saying those lines could be quite a bit longer," Johnson said.
Nothing is set in stone right now, but XNA is already preparing just in case.
"If sequestration does kick in, they are required by law to give these employees a 30 day notice. So we won't see anything at least until April since it goes into effect on March 1. That may give our Congress time to work out the problems, and we may not be affected," Johnson said.
She said there may be a silver lining to all of this. If those cuts kick in, Johnson believes it will get everyone's attention, and maybe something in Washington will change.
