The current drought has many crop producers looking for salvage alternatives and animal producers looking for feed. There are several options available for an insured crop severely damaged by drought.
Drought-stricken forages that accumulate nitrates can kill grazing livestock. Most MU Extension county offices can provide a quick nitrate check. The nitrate test can only be performed by a trained extension specialist. Call ahead to schedule an appointment for the test.
MU economist has calculator for hay:bean value to help make decision to cut beans for hay.
Corn harvest for most farmers in the upper Mississippi Delta Region including southeast Missouri will begin near August 1 to 15, and farmers need to beware of aflatoxin contaminated grain.
Farmers are weighing what to do with this year's drought-damaged corn and soybean crops — wait and harvest for grain, harvest as forage or abandon the field. MU's Integrated Pest and Crop Management program helps you consider the decision points and includes worksheets for estimating corn and soybean yields.
This year, cow-herd owners short on feed are asking about baling soybeans that won't make a bean crop.
Many producers are now searching for alternative feeding options for livestock. In addition to safety and herd health issues, these factors affect the business decisions for each operation.
Nitrate is a normal part of our environment. But drought conditions can cause the nitrogen cycle of plants, water and air to become out of balance. Farm animals eating forage or drinking water with excessive levels of nitrate can be poisoned.
It's been a pretty typical July, weather-wise, in Missouri. The only problem is it's barely June, and high temperatures and lack of rain threaten damage to crops, pastures and lawns. Watch the video.
MU climatologist encourages farmers, residents in drought-stricken areas to share observations and impacts online.
One of the worst droughts in nearly 25 years was impacting Missouri by the end of June and agricultural crops were feeling the stress from lack of rain and sweltering temperatures.
Drought and record-high temperatures have placed parts of Missouri under a fire weather watch, which the National Weather Service issues when forecasters are expecting ideal conditions for extensive wildfires.
Find out what you can do to prevent and control wildfires. The Missouri Department of Conservation offers tools and tips to help you protect lives, property and our natural resources.
University of Missouri Extension has created an open community page on Facebook for organizations and individuals to share information related to drought, extreme heat and wildfires in Missouri.
Wildfires can start suddenly. Don't be caught unprepared. eXtension offers ideas on preparing your home and evacuation routes, what to do if you're trapped, and how to manage when you return home after a fire.
Anyone with soybeans should be scouting fields closely every day.
There's so little moisture in the soil that without irrigation many homeowners will lose landscape plants. Even well-established trees are in crisis.
In addition to watering your lawn and trees, it's a good idea to water your home's foundation, said a University of Missouri housing and environmental specialist. Dry, shifting ground can crack foundations.
Are you wondering whether or not you should water your lawn during drought conditions? Find out how you can conserve water and help your lawn in MU Extensions Home Watering Guide.
No rain and high temperatures cover most of Missouri and nearby regions. Abnormally dry weather covers much of the mid-western Corn Belt.

/usr/libexec/stackshot -i -f /Library/Logs/ServerSetup_StackShot_KRYPTED.txt
This is also where I learned that I can tail /tmp/SetupLogs.tgz during some installs to be able to watch what's going on during the installation process:
tail -f /tmp/SetupLogs.tgz
Looking At Each Service
This is also where I learned that Apple had put an Open Directory backup script in /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/server_backup/opendirectorybackup (that still requires a password). But what I haven't seen in all of these logs is bumping up the logging level for services before performing tasks, so that you can see a verbose output of what's going on. To do this, it looks like we're going service-by-service. So let's look alphabetically, starting with Address Book:
sudo serveradmin settings addressbook:DefaultLogLevel = "warn"
This by defualt logs to /var/log/caldavd/error.log, which is built based on the following, which sets the base:
sudo serveradmin settings addressbook:LogRoot=/var/log/caldavd
And the following, which sets the file name in that directory:
sudo serveradmin settings addressbook:ErrorLogFile=error.log
You can change either by changing what comes after the = sign.
Next is afp. This service logs output to two places. The first is with errors to the service, using /Library/Logs/AppleFileService/AppleFileServiceError.log, the path designated in the following:
sudo serveradmin settings afp:errorLogPath = "/Library/Logs/AppleFileService/AppleFileServiceError.log"
The second location logs activities (open file, delete file, etc) rather than errors and is /Library/Logs/AppleFileService/AppleFileServiceAccess.log, defined using:
sudo serveradmin settings afp:activityLogPath = "/Library/Logs/AppleFileService/AppleFileServiceAccess.log"
The activity log is disabled by default and enabled using the command:
sudo serveradmin settings afp:activityLog = yes
The events that trigger log entries are in the afp:loggingAttributes array and are all enabled by default. There are no further controls for the verbosity of the afp logs.
The next service is calendar. Similar to address book, the caldav server uses DefaultLogLevel to set how much data gets placed into logs:
sudo serveradmin settings calendar:DefaultLogLevel = "warn"
This by defualt logs to /var/log/caldavd/error.log, which is built based on the following, which sets the base:
sudo serveradmin settings calendar:LogRoot=/var/log/caldavd
And the following, which sets the file name in that directory:
sudo serveradmin settings calendar:ErrorLogFile=error.log
You can changing either by changing what comes after the = sign.
Profile Manager is called devicemgr in the serveradmin interface and I've found no way to augment the logging levels. Nor does its migration script ( /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/System/Library/ServerSetup/MigrationExtras/80-devicemgrmigration.sh ) point to any increased logging during migration.
The dirserv (aka Open Directory) uses the slapconfig back-end, so I use slapconfig to increase logging:
sudo slapconfig -enableslapdlog
The DNS service uses named.conf, located in /etc to set log levels and has no serveradmin settings for doing so. Here, use the logging section and look for both the file setting (by default /Library/Logs/named.log) for where the log is stored as well as the severity setting, which can set the logging levels higher or lower.
By default Messages, or iChat Server, logs a lot. See the following for what is logged:
sudo serveradmin settings jabber:logLevel = "ALL"
Adding the -D option to the LaunchDaemon that invokes jabber will increase the logs. Logging long-term is handled in each of the xml files that make up the features of jabber. See the Logconfiguration section of the c2s file via:
cat /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/private/etc/jabberd/c2s.xml
The mail service has a number of options for logging, much of which has to do with the fact that it's a patchy solution made up of postfix, etc. To see the virus database logging levels (which should usually be set to warn):
sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:virus_db_log_level
To see the spamassassin logging levels:
sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:spam_log_level
To see the actual postfix logging level:
sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:log_level
To enable timestamps on logs:
sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:logtimestamps = yes
To set the dovecot logging:
sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:log_level = "warn"
To set increased logging per function that dovecot performs, see the config files in /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/private/etc/dovecot/default/conf.d, each of which has a logging section to do so.
The NetBoot service is simple to configure logging for, simply set the netboot:logging_level to HIGH (by default it's MEDIUM):
sudo serveradmin settings netboot:logging_level = "HIGH"
The Postgres service uses a log directory, configured with postgres:log_directory:
sudo serveradmin settings postgres:log_directory = "/Library/Logs/PostgreSQL"
The /private/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf has a section (log {}) dedicated to configuring how the radius service logs output.
The san service (Xsan) logs output per volume to both the System Log and volume-based log files, stored in /Library/Preferences/Xsan/data.
The smb service has a file /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist
with a key for log level that can be used for more verbose output of the service.
The PPTP VPN service logs output to the file specified in vpn:Servers, configured with these:
sudo serveradmin settings vpn:Servers:com.apple.ppp.pptp:Server:LogFile = "/var/log/ppp/vpnd.log"
sudo serveradmin settings vpn:Servers:com.apple.ppp.pptp:PPP:LogFile = "/var/log/ppp/vpnd.log"
sudo serveradmin settings vpn:Servers:com.apple.ppp.l2tp:Server:LogFile = "/var/log/ppp/vpnd.log"
sudo serveradmin settings vpn:Servers:com.apple.ppp.l2tp:PPP:LogFile = "/var/log/ppp/vpnd.log"
By default, verbose logging is enabled, which you can see with:
sudo serveradmin settings vpn:Servers:com.apple.ppp.pptp:Server:VerboseLogging
sudo serveradmin settings vpn:Servers:com.apple.ppp.pptp:PPP:VerboseLogging
sudo serveradmin settings vpn:Servers:com.apple.ppp.l2tp:Server:VerboseLogging
sudo serveradmin settings vpn:Servers:com.apple.ppp.l2tp:PPP:VerboseLogging
The last service is web (Apache). The default access logs are per-site, with a key called customLogPath existing for each. The defaultSite uses the following for its logs:
sudo serveradmin settings web:defaultSite:customLogPath
Swap out the defaultSite with another site to see its log paths. There's also a key for errorLogPath that shows errors. These are per-site so that administrators can provide access to logs for the owners of each site and not fear them having access to logs for other users. Global error logs are stored in /private/var/log/apache2/error_log as defined in /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf. Find LogLevel in this file and set it to configure how in depth the logs will be, using debug for the most verbose and info, notice, warn, error, crit, alert, and emerg to get incrementally less information.
Additionally the log formats can be set in /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf, allowing administrators to configure Mountain Lion Server's built-in web service to conform to the standards of most modern web log analyzers.
Overall, there's a lot of information in these logs and administrators can spend as much time reviewing logs as they want. But other than standard system logs, the output is typically configured on a service-by-service basis. Some services offer a lot of options and others offering only a few. Some services also offer options within the serveradmin environment while others use their traditional locations in their configuration files. I'll end this with a warning. There can also be a lot of output in these logs. Therefore, if you set the logging facilities high, make sure to keep a watchful eye on the capacity of the location you're writing logs out to. The reason I looked at paths to logs where applicable was because you might want to consider redirecting logs to an external volume when debugging so as not to fill up a boot volume and cause even more problems than what you're likely parsing through logs looking to fix…

This page is to document answers to frequently asked questions about the yearly Simultaneous Release process or build.
How do we join the simultaneous release train
- You need to mark the simultaneousrelease flag in the Foundation's Portal metadata for your project ... by M4, at the latest. After you mark that flag, the project lead should see some extra "tracking" metadata at the Foundation Portal.
That's too easy, how do we join the simultaneous release train, really
- The flag is the only formal step in declaring your intent. Of course, your PMC should be well aware of your plans, as always. Some people like to post a note to cross-project list, which is not necessary, but does not hurt anything either, if you just want to keep everyone informed. Then, of course, the real work begins. There is a whole list of things you have to do, some required, some recommended, and, you need to get yourself into the common repository aggregation build, by M4, at the latest for new projects (existing projects continuing from previous years should already be in, as part of the intent it to be "simultaneous" every milestone, not just at the end. You will want to read through these documents, and others at the main wiki category (e.g. for Indigo) as there is a lot of work involved ... more than just "releasing at the same time of year". And, if it is after M4, there is an exception processes, but you should talk to your PMC and Planning Council representative to see if you have a reasonable case for your Planning Council representative to take to the whole council.
What are the most important URLs
Where can the common repository be tested, before it is rolled out for a milestone or release?
The best place is the "staging area", by adding this URL to your "available software sites" list.
Note: to get the best test, disable all other repositories in your list, or you might end up pulling something from some other repository, not staging. Be aware that moving a specific build to "staging" may happen only every few days (if you need something promoted more urgently, just ask on cross-project list).
What is the staging repository?
Conceptually, it is simply a place to hold a repository temporarily ... until the repository is promoted to a released location.
What is staging, for the current, most forward looking, yet-to-be-released stream?
Not every build-repository makes it to this staging repository, but they do fairly frequently. Before the actual yearly release, a common milestone aggregation build is moved from 'staging' to the 'releases' area. For example, once, for each final milestone, staging is moved to
What is staging, for the maintenance stream?
Not every build-repository makes it to this staging repository, but they do fairly frequently. There are no milestones for maintenance streams, so this is as far as a maintenance repository gets, until it is time for SR1 or SR2 to be declared at which time 'maintenance' is promoted to be part of the composite for the release, such as
What's the best way to test with the staging repository
There are a couple of good tests to do, before a staging repository is released:
Test staging all by itself
Just add the staging repository to the available software sites, using preferences, and ... very important ... make sure all other sites are disabled. This then gives you the best view that everything in that one repository is correct, and all dependencies can indeed be found, and things show up in categories as expected.
After confirming the categories are as expected, usually the next test is just to install things, fresh, but often it is a good idea to test various update sceneries, to make sure things work as expected (for example, if you already have M6 installed, then once M7 is ready, test to be sure it updates to M7 as expected.
Test staging as a pseudo composite
After confirming staging repository is correct, its often useful to then also (re)enable the released repository. Then, on install dialog, you can select "all available sites" and this effectively simulates what the eventual, final composite repository will look like to end users. There are cases, especially during initial development, where invalid features will show up. For example, if a feature was removed, renamed, its version reduced, or its category changed from one milestone to the next, it might still show up in the composite, and that might interfere with correct installation (see bug 314165), if not merely be confusing to end users. If there is a serious problem due to the composite, please open a bug in cross-project component and we'll decide if the composite should be changed or reduced to allow for correct installation.
Why do we use composites anyway, if so many potential problems or limitations with them
Two reasons. While the eventual, initial released repository, in June, will definitely consist of just one set of released, consistent features, later in September, and then February, we use composites to add maintenance, so testing composites early is a good idea to make sure there are no bugs in p2, etc., that need to be fixed.
Secondly, someone may be using a previous milestone as a runtime target, and once we remove it, it will invalidate that target, so we do not want to force everyone to "move up" all at the the same time. Some developers may need a few weeks to transition to the latest code. To save space, we do not try and save all previous milestones, though. Our goal is to maintain about 3 milestones in the composite. For example, if we had M4, M5, and M6 in the composite, once M7 came out, we'd only have M5, M6, and M7. But the number can not be guaranteed. If there are serious problem with providing the composite we will reduce it to just two, or even to just one, to make sure the repository is usable for testing and continued development.
Once I update my .b3aggrcon file, how can I start a build?
You don't need to. The build will start automatically, once you check in a .build file. The .build files are checked every 15 minutes to see if any have changed, and if so an aggregation build will start. It takes approximately 2 hours to run.
But what if I really want to kick off the build myself?
If you can't wait 15 minutes, you can start the build your self. Anyone that has authorization to check in a .build file, should have authority to manually start a build. Plus, there are some cases where someone may need to kick off a build manually. For example, if a build fails due to network issues. Another common case is that a build may fail, even though the .build file is correct, the repository it points to might have had an error. Once the repository is corrected, there's no automatic mechanism to detect that change, so after the repository is corrected, a new build has to be manually started (that, or the .build file "touched" and then checked in again). To manually start a build, just click the "Schedule a Build" button at the build status control page.
You need to be sure to login (with your committer ID):
Then click the "Schedule a Build" buttton:
A build failed message says it can not find xyz.feature.group, but I have nothing with "feature.group" in the name?
The suffix ".feature.group" is added to feature names, to refer to the whole feature ... the feature files themselves, but also all its included bundles and features ... to help distinguish it from the literal feature files. So "xyz.feature.group" just means the "xyz feature", conceptually. See Eclipse Help for detailed information about metadata.
A build failed message says it can not find version 1.2.3.v9 but I can see 1.2.3.v9 on the file system?
The key file, the one that "drives" P2, is the content.jar/xml file. Be sure to check the version numbers there. If, inside it, the installable unit (often a feature) says version="1.2.3.v8", then P2 will look no further and conclude that the 'v9' feature it is looking for is not there. This is usually a sign your meta data needs to be re-generated to match the contents on the file system.

Maura Casey knows how to make a point: "if women don't speak up, we get the kind of world that is shaped almost entirely by men—and that cheats people." During reunion 2010 weekend, Casey led an engaging workshop sponsored by the Athena Leadership Lab. the subject? How women can present ideas quickly and powerfully. Casey, an award-winning journalist, editorial writer, and former member of The New York Times editorial board, stressed the importance of women's thought leadership. She represents the OpEd Project, an initiative whose mission is to "radically expand public debate, with an immediate goal of increasing the number of women in key thought leadership forums to a tipping point." through seminars given at venues that include universities, nonprofit groups, and think tanks, women experts are encouraged to write for op-ed pages and other key forums of public discourse. Founded by Catherine Orenstein, the project is not a writer's seminar. "It's about ownership," Casey told the audience, "ownership of what you have to say to the world."
What is the link between writing op-eds and creating powerful arguments? Why is op-ed writing good practice for this skill? Casey explained how one informs the other: "any time you sit down to craft a message that is persuasive, you sharpen and hone your ability to create arguments that move people, or at least make them think differently about a subject. op-ed writing is a particularly good exercise for this because it is concrete and not at all theoretical." Casey guided Barnard alumnae through the initial steps of a typical OpEd Project workshop, challenging participants to think about their knowledge and experiences, and how to communicate with maximum effect.
First, there was a discussion about the question of the source of credibility and establishing it. Participants discovered that expertise has a multi-layered meaning; an expert can be someone to whom others refer for specific knowledge or informed opinion. Expertise also indicates a consensus surrounding a person's knowledge. Having advanced degrees and appropriate institutional affiliations was seen to bolster one's "expert" legitimacy. One audience member emphasized that being effective is not about being right. Second, alumnae formed small groups in which each person completed the statement, "hello my name is ________, I am an expert in ________ , because ________ ." Some were hesitant to say they were experts in anything, while others confidently stated their occupations and how specific training contributed to their expertise. Several alumnae expanded the definition of expertise to include that which comes from a lived experience, such as parenting.
Was everyone comfortable with being an expert? The answer was no, prompting Casey to raise another critical question: how do we get over barriers and claim our thought leadership? Why did some feel they could not claim an area of knowledge for their own? The group concluded there are several sources of women's self-dismissal—from a fear of being labeled for acting territorial or assertive, to caution over being "called out" for lacking complete knowledge of a subject. Where do women go wrong? Casey responded, "We need to change, that's all. i want women to succeed. i want them to step up as the leaders they were meant to be, and own the power they have within them. the oped Project is one way of helping them do that." one participant observed how women are socialized to please others, to win their approval and to refrain from being self- promoting or overly confident. Women tend to apologize for what they know (for fear of appearing "conceited") and use qualifiers when they speak—two behaviors that detract from powerful delivery.
Casey offered several strategies for pitching ideas. She stressed the elements of brevity and simplicity: "think of the gettysburg address; less than three hundred words, about the length of a modern letter to the editor. Also, by the way, nearly all of the words Lincoln used were one- or at most two-syllable words. He didn't write to impress; he wrote to make a point."
The session ended with Casey's call to action, and a reminder that our human experiences give us compassion, which can be the greatest "expertise." to be able to feel or relate to something, even if outside one's specialization, can be the key to making an amazing insight or argument. One inspired alumna expressed her desire to write a piece on a moving photograph and story she had recently seen in the newspaper. Everyone in the room (including Casey) encouraged her to go for it—a very Barnard moment and a reminder of the College's enthusiastic, supportive environment for women's goals and ideas.

Hulk Hogan wants to star as a shaven-haired villain in star-studded movie 'The Expendables 3'.
Hulk Hogan wants to star in 'The Expendables 3'.
The 'TNA IMPACT Wrestling' star - who has recently been rocked after a sex tape of him and Heather Clem, the estranged wife of his best friend Bubba the Love Sponge, surfaced online - doesn't think he'll get any more good offers from Hollywood, but he is keen to play a villain in the star-studded film franchise.
He said: ''You know what would really be cool? On twitter all my fans are [telling me], 'You should be on Expendables 3'. I wish. Can you imagine if I shaved my head and I was the bad guy?''
'The Expendables' franchise features a number of big-name action stars including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone, who Hulk still thanks for giving him his big break in 1982 movie 'Rocky III', which saw him portray Thunderlips.
He said: ''He's my boy, he gave me my first break. I need your help.''
But Hulk has caused some controversy after being asked if he was ever offered the lead role in 2008 movie 'The Wrestler' - which featured Mickey Rourke as the lead character - to which the 59-year-old star said he had, but claims he turned the part down.
Speaking on the 'Howard Stern Show', he added: ''The problem is, if I had done it, Hollywood would have looked at it as a joke.''
Following his comments, 'The Wrestler' director Darren Aronofsky took to twitter to deny Hulk was ever in line for the role.
He wrote: ''for the record the role of the wrestler was always @MickeyRourkeit was never hulk hogan's as he claims on @HowardStern (sic)''

We've discovered that there is a bug with Tribune's lineup handling system, which causes lineup updates to not be reflected in the Schedules Direct lineup editor web page.
If it's not accurate there, that means that it's also not accurate in the data you're downloading.
The workaround is to delete and then re-add your lineup, which will force a refresh.
Once the lineup is accurate in the lineup editor, refresh the lineup in your application and you should be good.
We have been told by Tribune that the root cause has been identified, and will be fixed in an update to their servers in August. The date has not yet been determined.

San Antonio Couple Names Twins After Spurs' Tim Duncan and Tony Parker
There are fans and then there are super fans. San Antonio couple John Paul and Crystal Dennison would appear to fall into the latter category, as the new parents have named their identical, newborn twin sons Tony Parker and Tim Duncan after the San Antonio Spurs' superstars.
It turns out, they are not fanatical in their devotion to the NBA, the Spurs or the players themselves. They're reserving that type of dedication for the man upstairs. They just named the boys after the point guard and the power forward because they are convinced of some sort of divine intervention. Poor kids.
The couple actually met while working at an eatery in the AT&T Center where the Spurs play. They also feel their union was an example of the Lord working mysteriously through the team, with Paul telling KENS-TV, "We know that the Lord brought us together, but he used the Spurs to do it. It kind of started off as a joke. We said it at lunch one day and everybody laughed."
We chuckled, too. But the joke didn't end there.
Paul continued, "And then we got to thinking that we really actually liked the names a whole lot. They're really cool names."
Second runner-up for names was Loaded Nachos and Pretzel No Salt.

In search of the latest version of ProGrammer if someone isn't using it anymore. Please PM me a price. I have version R18 but I can't read the radio at all. Thank you.
Any version higher than R18 requires a License Key and activated by Harris Customer Support. You may want to purchase the latest copy from a licensed vendor, such as 49er Communications out in California. That's where I bought mine from and have had no troubles at all. It takes about six weeks to get it since it's a special order item directly from Harris.
If you don't need what's currently in the radio, just make a new codeplug and write it to the radio. Unlike Motorola radios, Harris/Ma-Com etc radios will let you write the radio using an older version of Programmer.

HOLDERNESS, N.H. – Sophomore Bo Prozinski (Ashland, Mass.) scored a season-high seven goals to lead the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth men's lacrosse team to a 10-4 victory over Plymouth State University in a Little East Conference contest at The Holderness School on Sunday afternoon.
UMass Dartmouth earns its second straight win to improve to 7-3 overall and 1-1 in the conference. The Panthers had their four-game winning streak snapped as they drop to 4-2 and 0-1.
Prozinski netted a pair of goals in the first quarter to power the Corsairs to a 2-1 lead after one. The sophomore attack man added another marker in the third frame and four goals in the fourth to seal the win for the Corsairs.
Juniors Dennis Healy (Hanover, Mass.) and Tyler Chasnov (Plymouth, Mass.) each tallied second-period markers to help UMass Dartmouth to a 4-2 halftime advantage.
Senior Justin Lawless (Quincy, Mass.) scored late in the third to increase the visitor's lead to 6-2. Prozinski notched the first two goals in the first minute of the fourth quarter to give the Corsairs a commanding 8-2 advantage before holding on for the win.
Defenseman Steven Tarpey (Shrewsbury, Mass.) and sophomore Dan Brown (Beverly, Mass.) collected five ground balls apiece, while Ryan Garland and Colin Claflin recorded identical totals for the home team.
Senior Nick Thayer (Chelmsford, Mass.) made 15 saves in the UMass Dartmouth net en route to his seventh win of the season, while Jesse Kutz turned away 14 attempts for the Panthers.
The Corsairs return to action on Wednesday, April 9, when the Corsairs travel to at Massachusetts Maritime for a 7:00 p.m. non-conference matchup.

From APRSWiki
GPS Plot is a packet radio decoder that is designed to convert APRS position data into GPWPL sentences. These are sent to the GPS serially and will plot APRS stations on the GPS map screen as way points. Like my other PIC APRS projects, it's aimed toward the do it yourself builder and is open source. It will decode and plot both conventional and mic-e compressed position reports. There are two hardware versions:
- One uses a MX614 modem IC. http://www.ringolake.com/pic_proj/decoder/rx_206.html
- The other uses a zero crossing detector design. http://www.ringolake.com/pic_proj/zcd/zcdmodem.html

If you're applying for a position at a larger firm, your resume will be amongst hundreds — or thousands — that recruiters receive and if you don't use the right keywords, you'll risk a very good chance of never even crossing the recruiters' radars.
Companies are using a keyword-searchable database that scans resumes for words related to certain job vacancies. To figure out what keywords are vital to your position, Katharine Hansen at Quintessential Careers says you should be "scrutinizing job postings to see what keywords are repeatedly mentioned in association with a given job title."
Barbara Safani of CareerSolvers suggests using LinkedIn's skills section to find the keywords that would most likely be used in a company's search query database. To do this, click on the "More" tab in your LinkedIn profile and enter a type of skill or description into the search box. This will result in a list of related skills to pop up, which you can use as keywords on your resume.
In the example below, entering the word "product management" produced keywords such as "product leadership" and "feature prioritization."
Although action verbs are important, Hansen says most of the keywords in the hiring database will be nouns. For example, if you listed that you "conducted cross-functional management for initial and follow-up contact" in a job description, the keyword here is "cross-functional management."
For a better chance of getting your resume through the screening process, Hansen suggests to shoot for 25 to 35 keywords.

You are here
This is the fastest Bentley ever
This is the fastest production Bentley ever built, the new Continental GT Speed. It's also emphatically, unequivocally and massively faster than the last fastest production Bentley ever built, the old Continental GT Speed. By a full… one mph.
You see, in 2012, Bentley turned up the 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 from 567bhp to 616bhp. Now, in 2014, this 6.0-litre W12 has been turned up yet again from 616bhp to 626bhp and 607lb ft of torque, to help it hit a top speed of 206mph. The old Conti Speed could only manage 205mph. Pah.
The GT Speed Convertible can manage 203mph now too, and both come with a lowered and stiffer chassis, while new flourishes include a sharper front splitter, new side skirts, a new rear diffuser, and a dark tint applied to the 21in wheels, headlights and tail lights.
There are red brake calipers, chrome 'Speed' badges fitted to the front wings, and 'Candy Red' paint is available as an option, too. Step inside and you're treated to a new colour split reserved exclusively for the Speed, with contrast stitching and 'Speed' branding on the front and rear headrests.
Otherwise it's business as usual, that business being, um, speed. 0-62mph takes 4.2 seconds. 0-100mph takes 9.0 seconds. Top speed is of course, 206mph. Whichever way you look at it, that's fast. Though not quite as fast as the Venom GT…

The Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District (District) is committed to ensuring that it complies with all Federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations as well as the State of California accessibility requirements.
If you have any questions related to the accessibility of Golden Gate Transit Buses, Ferries, or facilities please contact Jon Gaffney, ADA Compliance and Program Manager at 415-257-4416 or email@example.com.
If requested by an individual with a disability, the District will provide a language or sign interpreter or other accessible format. Please contact Jon Gaffney at 415-257-4416 or firstname.lastname@example.com to request assistance.
Golden Gate Transit Bus Accessible Services
All Golden Gate Transit (GGT) bus service is operated with lift-equipped buses that have a "kneeling feature" to make boarding easier. Any passenger may request to use the lift or kneeling feature on the bus. Not all GGT bus stops are accessible to wheelchairs. Persons requiring special assistance are encouraged to arrange for a companion to ride with them. GGT provides training in boarding, exiting, and wheelchair securement procedures on GGT buses. Please call Bus Safety and Training at 415/257-4480 at least two days in advance to schedule an appointment.
Before boarding, please have your fare and identification ready. If you cannot reach the farebox or have difficulty handling money, we recommend that you get an RTC Clipper card to pay your fare. Clipper card readers are located at the front and rear doors of the bus. When you board, tell the driver your destination and if you would like your stop announced. While on the lift platform, brakes on wheelchairs should always be locked and chair power turned off. If the operator is unable to secure your wheelchair, you have the option of waiting for the next bus. If your wheelchair is difficult to secure, call 415-257-4480 to request free supplementary straps to attach to your chair. Anyone may transfer from a wheelchair to a passenger seat. This is recommended for three-wheeled mobility cart ("mobie") users as these devices are not designed for use as seats in vehicles.
Bus identifier kits are available for passengers who have sight, hearing, or speech communication disabilities. The kit is designed to signal bus operators with the route number you wish to travel. Contact Golden Gate Transit to request a kit.
Priority Seating on GGT Buses. Certain seats on the bus are designated as priority seating for passengers with disabilities and for seniors. The bus driver may ask a non-disabled passenger who is occupying a priority seat to move if a passenger with disabilities or a senior boards. Priority seats located in wheelchair securement areas MUST be relinquished. Passenger cooperation in honoring such requests is appreciated.
Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Devices (EPAMD). GGT has an official policy on the use of EPAMDs on its buses. A common EPAMD is the self-balancing transportation device known as a "Segway." The policy establishes guidelines and instructs how Segways and other EPAMDs are to be accommodated on GGT buses, including those in operation on regional service and local Marin service.
Bus Stop Announcements. The Department of Transportation (DOT) Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations in 49 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) sections 37.167(b) and (c) require that stop announcements must be made on fixed route systems. Therefore, announcements will be made at transfer points with other fixed routes, major intersections, and destination points, and intervals along a route to permit individuals with visual impairments or other disabilities to be oriented to their location. On request of an individual with a disability, any stop will be announced. Announcements will also be made to help an individual with a visual impairment or other disability to identify the proper vehicle to enter or be identified to the vehicle operator as a person seeking a ride on a particular route.
Golden Gate Ferry Accessible Services
All Golden Gate Ferries vessels are accessible to passengers using wheelchairs and all have accessible restrooms. When traveling between Larkspur and San Francisco, wheelchair users do not need to use the wheelchair lifts, as inter-deck movement is not required to load and unload.
When traveling between the following locations, wheelchair users use the wheelchair lift to load/unload on separate decks. Wheelchair lifts can accommodate a wheelchair up to 30" wide by 41" long and a total weight not exceeding 495 lbs, and may be operated only by crew members.
Paratransit Services
Intercounty paratransit service is provided in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) for ADA-eligible passengers. Intercounty service (travel between counties) is operated by Whistlestop Wheels and is designed to complement GGT's intercounty non-commute bus service. This service operates between Marin, Contra Costa, San Francisco, and Sonoma counties within three-quarters of a mile of GGT's basic bus routes. Fares are charged and reservations are required. Contact Whistlestop at 415-454-0964 or 711/TDD.
In addition to the District's intercounty paratransit service, Whistlestop Wheels also provides local paratransit service within Marin County on behalf of Marin Transit. Visit the Marin Access website for more information and the Marin Access Documents page for the latest Paratransit Rider's Guide, useful brochures, applications, etc.
Local paratransit services are provided within San Francisco, Sonoma, and Contra Costa counties by other operators listed below.
Reasonable Modification and ADA Complaint Procedure
To request a modification to a District procedure, practice, or policy to accomodateaccommodate a person with a disability or to file a complaint regarding an ADA violation, please visit our ADA Reasonable Modification and ADA Violation Complaint Procedure page.

.Obamacare program costs $50,000 in taxpayer money for every American who gets health insurance, says bombshell budget report
Stunning figure comes from Congressional Budget Office report that revised cost estimates for the next 10 years
Government will spend $1.993 TRILLION over a decade and take in $643 BILLION in new taxes, penalties and fees related to Obamacare
The $1.35 trillion net cost will result in 'between 24 million and 27 million' fewer Americans being uninsured – a $50,000 price tag per person at best
The law will still leave 'between 29 million and 31 million' nonelderly Americans without medical insurance
Numbers assume Obamacare insurance exchange enrollment will double between now and 2025
And then there's this
Americans on Disability Skyrockets 50%...
CBO Director Predicts Unsustainable Debt...
"Although the deficits in our baseline projections remain roughly stable as a percentage of GDP through 2018, as I noted, they rise after that. The deficit in 2025 is projected to be $1.1 trillion, or 4% of GDP, and cumulative deficits over the 2016 to 2025 period are projected to total $7.6 trillion. We expect that federal debt held by the public will amount to 74% of GDP at the end of this fiscal year, more than twice what it was at the end of 2007, and higher than in any year since 1950. By 2025, in our baseline projections, federal debt rises to nearly 79% of GDP
Hell, Social Security is more sustainable than CrapCare is.

Are stealth ballistic missiles possible? Quite possibly yes.
All those systems rely on large radars. also they are mainly midcourse defense systems.
Yes they hit once in a while an icbm that has decoys attached but in actual scenario to take out many interceptors needs to be launched for single ballistic missile.
one solution is currently at the development stage, maneuvring hypersonic vehicles as terminal stages like the technology China tested also negates the current midcourse abm systems as the interceptors are not maneuvrable enough to hit moving and fast target at that level.
Some use maneuvrable ballistic missiles changing trajectories so on, Chinese anti ship ballistic missile and iskandar ballistic missile of Russia are the operational types.
In my opinion another option also exists other than the hypersonic vehicles to fool the abm radars as well.
*Why not make the ballistic missile stages like matrushka dolls.
opening and releasing the terminal reentry stage at the end before antering the atmosphere.
- first stage normal ballistic missile or icbm
- second stage above atmosphere in space there is no need for aerodynamics and no friction.
what is released from inside the ballistic missile can be an object of any shape and cross section in space.
The nose of the ballistic missile can open and release the carrier object.
This object can carry the reentry vehicle inside.
There is no need for decoys.
radar absorbant material needs to be used on the carrier object and cross section should not be circular like cylinder. For example a less reflective radar cross section shape like rhombus can be chosen for the carrier object.
Thus the carrier object carrying the reentry vehicle inside is not detecteble by radar. or at least much more difficult to track than current measures.
- Terminal stage like matrushka dolls the object will open again and releasing the reentry vehicle inside before entering atmoshpere . this ofcourse is detectable but just at the end when the missile is fast enough and enemy does not have time to respond to it.
This way in my opinion sending an irbm would get over from most defenses prepared for 80s concepts. Taking out the large immovable abm radar is enough for the remaining missiles that dont need such protection. or after abm radar send several missiles to take out the airbases nuclear sites and strategic targets then launch the remains.

When apexart approached me about curating an art show on the topic of pornography, it struck me that porn is a difficult thing around which to structure an intelligent dialogue, especially from an art standpoint. Not because art and porn have nothing in common, but because they have so
in common. Whereas "true" art exists in a context of nearly constant conversation, porn exists in a veritable cultural vacuum, considered purely utilitarian and thus—somehow—without artistic merit. But the mediums gain access to their audiences in similar ways: art can slip past our rational systems of logic and language, sending an aesthetic impression right to our guts, upon which we are encouraged to reflect. Likewise, porn skips our systems of reason, but rather than lodging in our viscera and moving up to our brains, porn settles—hot and heavy—in our crotches. Adult entertainment takes advantage of our evolutionary inability to tell the difference between real sex and sexual imagery, and dives into our groins, demanding we take action. In this way, porn is utilitarian, and because we are taught not to speak openly of the utility to which we put it, pornography can hit our naughty bits without doing much else, aside from tugging on our heartstrings with the shame, anger, and revulsion that cultural stigmas bring to the party.
So pornography goes undiscussed, unlike its cousin art. Most of us don't
to discuss it, much less see a need for discussion. We just
it (and ourselves), neglecting to open it up to dialogue, analysis, criticism… the things that give the "high arts" their cultural
. This lack of dialogue allows the space where conversation could take place to instead remain vacant, echoing with the hysterical cries of pro- and anti-porn zealots who take advantage of the lack of critical context to promote their antithetical messages, though most of us know that the truth is somewhere between black and white. Porn is a huge grey area, a murky patch of swamp that's easier to enjoy when left alone. So most of us keep quiet about what we really think, if we think at all, shrugging, "Who cares? It's just porn."
In a way, that's accurate. Porn isn't usually
to make a statement in the way that art is. But that doesn't mean a statement isn't being made. Let's be honest: for many of us—myself included—porn is a companion during some very vulnerable moments; it sees us in all our pared-down perversity, naked, trembling, wide-eyed, and alone. We show it our most hidden sensibilities and allow it to fill in the blanks of our fantasies. We are sometimes more honest with pornography than with our intimate partners: we tell it what we really desire without fear of judgment. And that is a powerful connection; the accommodating offerings of smut that we watch during our defenseless moments must have
impact on our ideas about ourselves, our bodies, and our sex. But we let its impact go unremarked upon more often than not. It is difficult for us to think on the matter seriously because, unlike other forms of erotic entertainment, porn involves
people performing real sex acts. It is a difficult subject matter. Pornography is fake but it is also genuine, and it brings all the issues inherent in sex, industry, entertainment, and fantasy to a head in one place. It is far simpler to ignore the complicated realities or the impact it has on us than to address it. We tend to hold pornography at a distance—cleaning up and returning to our own reality, for which we put on a face markedly different from what was reflected in our computer or TV screens moments before.
I am an advocate for pornography, and I spend a huge amount of time writing, thinking, and talking about it, but I also include myself in the silent "we" of porn consumption. For each of us, the internal space between private moments and public face is different: some distance themselves from porn by joking about it in public; others over-glamorize the industry; many demonize it; still others pretend to know nothing about it (though their internet browsers know better). For me, porn is a serious topic that I critique, and it is also my field of study. I focus on the academic details in my columns, reviews, interviews, and blogs. Not on the sex or the way it makes me feel. What I do alone when watching it for pleasure is very different from what I include in my reviews.
Though the media informs us that adult entertainment is "mainstream" and that our culture is becoming "pornified," the topic of personal relationships to porn is still taboo. The space that yawns between what we do and what we say is so empty and quiet that other spaces have opened around it. There is the space between what consumers think about porn stars and what porn stars are really like, the expanse between pornographic sex and private sex, the distance between porn bodies and "real" bodies, the divide between what we think of as the "typical" porn user (indubitably male, balding, overweight) and a real porn user (you, your family, your coworkers), the long corridor we imagine stretching between performers and consumers. All of these spaces are virtually empty of honest discussion. They are dark, and, as dark places often are, they are scary.
I sensed that there was something about my particular situation in all of this that was compelling, some reason that I was the one people kept turning to with questions and ideas. Though I am hesitant to step into the center of all those creepy, dark spaces and call for attention, I have realized in thinking about this that I am already here. With one foot in and one foot out of the porn industry as a journalist, I turn one way to chat with porn insiders, but I turn the other way to answer friends' questions about the logistics of DPs. I am solidly in the dim space between sides, and it is because I occupy this chasm that people gravitate to me with questions, concerns, stories, and ideas—like this show.
It occurred to me that people who ask me questions, tell me their fantasies, request interviews, and send me movies for review are all looking at me because they see me as the middle ground I occupy. I can, they hope, translate their fears and desires across a great distance to the "other side." But there is no other side. We are all tangled up together in our one common thread: the consent we give to being part of pornography. Whether we make porn, watch porn, love porn, or hate porn, we are all enmeshed in it. An industry that makes billions more than America's largest sports industries, that has produced an estimated 370 million videos that now exist on the internet, that dominates a solid quarter of our web searches, surely ties us together more tightly than religion, politics, activism, or—it's true—art. The sheer numbers tell the story of our involvement. More of us watch porn than any other form of entertainment, and we are all taking something away from it, whether it be orgasm or our entire understanding of sex. Everyone who takes part has given consent in so doing. The performers consent to do the things you watch them do; the directors consent to film them; the crew consents to get in there with cameras and lights; the editors consent to chop out the not-as-sexy bits; the distributors and websites consent to carry the material; and you, dear consumer, consent to watch it, and to wank to it. Lots of people along the way got off on it. Not everyone enjoyed it. But we all
it. And the tie that binds us is our knowing, willing
in taking part in the whole cycle. So now, let's consent to
about it—unraveling some of the knots we have tied and take a look around our common ground.
is my attempt to turn up the lights in the space I occupy by documenting and presenting what the world looks like from my point of view. I've brought together conversations with the "insiders" and the "outsiders," footage from the movies I've reviewed, images of my friends and colleagues in the industry, and my very own porn collection, sourced from my years of being given review material. I want to show you what my empty space is like, and invite everyone to join me in here. It's really not so scary. We are all in this together, to get our rocks off somehow, and by reading this essay or wandering through this exhibit, you're more a part of it than ever.

Calm down Puddin!Here is the flight board that was show as the Boys entered the airport.Why didn't they take the 11:45 flight to Kiev? Not the time on the board: 9:45 pm.
Chateau, based on the confessionals by the Wins & the Lyns ..Kiev looks like an extended pitstop but you probably already know that .
I think we still need to process this ...
Long story short, there was a taxi driver there, that basically tried to shake us down.

From an Engineer's point of viewWednesday, July 21, 2010Valvoline is a great oil,,, but I'm not fond of STP and prefer DuPont teflon gas treatment in my hi-perf engines instead,,,Here is the run down on multi viscosity oil,,, for interest sake, if nothing else.Multi viscosity oils work like this,,, Polymers are added to a light base(5W, 10W, 20W), which prevent the oil from thinning as much as it warms up. At cold temperatures the polymers are coiled up and allow the oil to flow as their low numbers indicate. As the oil warms up the polymers begin to unwind into long chains that prevent the oil from thinning as much as it normally would. The result is that at 100 degrees C (212 Fahrenheit),,, the oil has thinned only as much as the higher viscosity number indicates. Another way of looking at multi-viscosity oils is to think of a 20W-50 as a 20 weight oil that will not thin more than a 50 weight would, when hot. Multi viscosity oils are one of the great improvements in oils,,, BUT, they should be chosen wisely. Always use a multi grade with the narrowest span of viscosity that is appropriate for the temperatures you are going to encounter. In the winter base your decision on the lowest temperature you will encounter,,, in the summer,,, the highest temperature you expect. The polymers can "shear" and "burn" forming deposits that can cause ring sticking and other problems!!! 10W-40 and 5W-30 require a lot of polymers(synthetics excluded) to achieve that range. This has caused problems in diesel engines, but fewer polymers are better for all engines. The wide viscosity range oils, in general, are more prone to viscosity and thermal breakdown due to the high polymer content. IT IS THE OIL THAT LUBRICATES,,, not the additives. Oils that can do their job with the fewest additives are the best. Very few manufacturers recommend 10W-40 any more, and some threaten to void warranties if it is used. 20W-50 is the same 30 point spread,,, but because it starts with a heavier base, it requires less viscosity index improvers (polymers) to do the job. AMSOIL can formulate their 10W-30 and 15W-40 with no viscosity index improvers but uses some in the 10W-40 and 5W-30. Other multigrade synthetics may not use VI improvers either. The full literature that's available from oil companies, should include this information. Follow your manufacturer's recommendations as to which weights are appropriate for your vehicle. Viscosity Index is an empirical number indicating the rate of change in viscosity of an oil within a given temperature range. Higher numbers indicate a low change, lower numbers indicate a relatively large change. The higher the number the better. This is one major property of an oil, that keeps your bearings "happy"... These numbers can only be compared within a viscosity range. It is not an indication of how well the oil resists thermal breakdown. Flash point is the temperature at which an oil gives off vapors that can be ignited with a flame held over the oil. The lower the flash point the greater tendancy for the oil to suffer vaporization loss at high temperatures and to burn off on hot cylinder walls and pistons. The flash point can be an indicator of the quality of the base stock used. The higher the flash point the better. 400 F is the minimum to prevent possible high consumption. Flash point is in degrees F. Pour point is 5 degrees F above the point at which a chilled oil shows no movement at the surface for 5 seconds when inclined. This measurement is especially important for oils used in the winter. A borderline pumping temperature is given by some manufacturers. This is the temperature at which the oil will pump and maintain adequate oil pressure. This was not given by a lot of the manufacturers,,, but seems to be about 20 degrees F above the pour point. The lower the pour point the better. Pour point is in degrees F. % sulfated ash is how much solid material is left when the oil is reacted with sulfuric acid and burned. This is used to quantify the amount of metallic antiwear and detergent additives in the oil. Zinc dithiophosphate is a common detergent and antiwear additive that is reflected in this test. % zinc is the amount of zinc used as an extreme pressure, anti-wear additive... The zinc is only used when there is actual metal to metal contact in the engine. Hopefully the oil will do its job and this will rarely occur, but if it does, the zinc compounds react with the metal to prevent scuffing and wear. A level of .11% is enough to protect an automobile engine for the extended oil drain interval, under normal use. Those with high revving, blower or turbo charged cars or inboard boats,,, might want to look at the oils with the higher zinc content. More doesn't give you better protection,,, BUT, it gives you longer protection if the rate of metal to metal contact is abnormally high. Just,,, Food for thought.

but there is a large group out there that plays dubs on Fridays and they don't really seem to want to do the club thing.For what it's worth, as usual, I will be soliciting interest in the club singles league and if I can get enough people interested, we'll see what happens.
Had a blast. Thanks for putting it on! For what its worth. I used to run league in Blue Springs and no matter what you do someone will complain. Do what is in your comfort zone as far as how you run your show. Lots of folks like to complain but until they step up and run a league then they are just talking heads. Keep up the good work man!

New Mexico Tech's Team Albatross Finishes 25th in Maiden Effort
By Thomas Guengerich
SOCORRO, N.M., March 12, 2009 – The New Mexico Tech team completed Tech's very first airplane design and competed in the SAE Aero design and performance competition last weekend at Van Nuys, CA. Team Albatross came away with a great experience and motivation to improve next year.
Right: Team Albatross put together a heroic effort just to compete in Tech's first effort at the SAE airplane competition. From left are Daniel King, Bianca Luevano, Toby Hartman, Ben Cooper, Keith Thomas, Tamara Dixon and Matt Swanson.
Team Albatross took 25th place in its division and 10th in the sales presentation competition. The Tech students also received several votes for the innovation award.
Team Albatross was eight students in the mechanical engineering Senior Design Clinic. They designed, tested and fabricated an aluminum plane with prototype wings and tail section.
New Mexico Tech's participation marked the first ever entry in the Society of Automotive Engineers' radio-controlled airplane design and flight competition.
Team Albatross's plane completed about three-quarters of the circuit before losing power and crashing in a field. Team members Matt Swanson, Daniel King and Toby Hartman recover the wreckage.
"Our flying success was very limited," Hartman said via e-mail. "The plane took off very effortlessly and completed three-quarters of the circuit flawlessly. All of a sudden, all of the controls got cut to the plane. With loss of control, the plane came tumbling out of the sky.
"It was heartbreaking, but a great learning experience," he said. "The team has gotten even more motivated for next year after seeing all the different designs at the competition. Though the team was hoping for a little better success it is already hard at work trying to find, understand and improve any flaws out of the system. I know the team is hopeful to go back next year with a much better design and do great at the competition."
Hartman is the lone team member who will graduate this year. The other team members – Tamara Dixon, Justin Guthrie, Ben Cooper, Toby Hartman, Matt Swanson, Daniel King, Bianca Luevano and Keith Thomas – will return to anchor an experience and senior-laden team.

Hey guys!
Thought I would post something a little different tonight, and this may possibly be the 3, maybe 4 (Can't actually remember) glasses of wine for post - work drinks that are talking, however, having just got home and glimpsed an article in the July 13 issue of Elle I feel compelled to write this post.
The handbag we carry is supposed to say alot about the women we are, and trends for Autumn/Winter 2013 are making a BIG statement.
I am not normally one for looking for such a meaning in a particular accessory, to be honest I don my uniform of baggy black shirts and leather for the primary reasons that they hide all manor of sins and black is a colour that is suitable for almost any occasion so it is also convenient. Accessories are normally an after thought for me, and to be quite honest, the only thought into the type of bag I carry is whether is is big enough to carry all my crap around for the upcoming day. (My Primarni rucksack is the bag of choice right now as it is easy to lug everything around in it while still hinting at the 90s trend which I am loving).
Elle stated that Handbags have become more than just a bag; they have become a symbol of feminism. I am genuinely unsure whether I agree with this.
Trends are showing that the handbag of choice for women in the upcoming season are larger bags, still stylish, however, much larger than your typical Chanel or Hermes.
The increase in the size of handbags is said to be reflecting on the feminist shift in the way we are thinking. Women are no longer able to carry everything they need in a small and pretty clutch (money, phone, ciggys, ya know... the basics) and this is due to women becoming more included in the working world and needing to not only carry more, but to look more professional.
I'm not going to lie to you, I normally couldn't give a damn about the "feministic symbols" of a certain accessory, if I like it, I like it! However, in this case this article genuinely sparked my interest.
In my opinion larger bags just seem to be more convenient and quite often more stylish, not a fan of the girly glitzy glittery clutches and so forth, but my question to you guys is, do you agree that there is more to this trend? Is this season's trend showing a further lean into feminism or is it just continuing to be a way of carrying something that looks good and in the words of Elle, carrying something that assists in hiding our bums while we climb the stairs?
I want to know what you guys think!

Wednesday people across the country will wake up with "Bake pumpkin pie" at the top of their pre-Thanksgiving to do list.
Each year people will ask themselves:
- Canned pumpkin or fresh?
- Store bought crust or from-scratch?
- How to prevent cracking the surface?
- Too much spice or not enough?
- What should we drink with our pumpkin pie?
Let's start with the last question, first. Rowley Leigh writing for the Financial Times, in American Pie, calls Essensia an ideal match. The Orange Muscat is a natural for the rich savory and sweet Thanksgiving classic.
Thanksgiving Pumpkin Essensia Spice Cake with caramel topping
See this full recipe and more (including cocktails!) by signing up for our newsletter here.
Oh and the answers to the other pumpkin pie questions?
The crust: from-scratch is easy, (here's an easy and reliable one) but if you're stretched for time even a store bought crust can be gussied up. Try crushing gingersnaps and toasted pecans and pressing them into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pie dough before adding the filling.
Cracks on the surface? That's from over-baking. When a pumpkin pie is done it will be still be jiggly in the middle. The custard needs time to set, which it will do, while cooling.
Spicing is a question of personal taste. One way to ensure that pumpkin pie lovers and skeptics alike will enjoy the pie is to mix the filling ingredients some time ahead, giving them time to meld and mellow. Another way to help the overall balance of the pie and spice is to cook the spices and pumpkin together before combining with other ingredients.
And most important, as Rowley points out, if you want to make the pie from a pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin pulp, you must find a "pie pumpkin". An ordinary Halloween jackolantern will make a bland pumpkin pie.
And just be sure to pour Essensia along with the pie!

CPU with 4-8 and more cores will be around soon, so pure functions are useful, but "simpler" forms of parallel processing are useful too. OpenMP syntax is not easy, while the syntax of Intel Ct is very short and to me it looks nice enough (it's a complex set of libs for C++): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Ct More info: http://techresearch.intel.com/articles/Tera-Scale/1514.htm It contains few functions that allow things like: sumReduce([1, 2, 3, 4]) = [10] sumReduce([[1, 2], [3, 4, 5]]) = [3, 12] sumReduce([(1 -> 1), (2 -> 1), (1-> 2)]) = [(1->3), (2->1)] Pack([a, b, c, d, e, f], [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0]) = [b, c, e] ShiftRight([a, b, c, d, e, f], [1], i) = [i, a, b, c, d, e] RotateLeft([a, b, c, d, e, f], [2]) = [c, d, e, f, a, b] Note that they allow much more than the + - / * among arrays, as in the D specs, they work on many kinds of collections, associative arrays too. Such things may be written at user-level code, but they require a better inlining and the use of SIMD instructions by the compiler; and to be used well, they may enjoy some syntax sugar too (that Intel Ct has already almost enough sugar). Such things are already built-in in the syntax of languages like Sisal, ParallelPascal, and the future Fortress. They don't solve all parallel processing problems, but they allow to solve some numerically intensive ones. Soon many different forms of parallel processing will become essential for any high-performance language. Bye, bearophile

Walter Bright <newshound1 digitalmars.com> writes:
Interestingly, Ct copies all its data to a special protected area so it can avoid having any aliases to the data. It also garbage collects (reference counts) this memory, and uses pass-by-value to further avoid aliasing problems. As far as that goes, D's foundation of gc and invariant types should serve this quite well.

text: I've been trying to set up a mail server on a rackspace CentOS 6 cloud server for the past couple days. I've followed your tutorial to a tee with the exception that I didn't compile a new postfix with quota as I don't need a quota system. Everything seemed to install perfectly, I did have to install some extra packages that weren't listed. But everything seemed to go well. The issue I'm having is that I'm not able to send any mail (I haven't even tried receiving yet..). After looking at the maillog I can see that postfix gives me the error: postfix/cleanup[31896]: warning: connect to mysql server 127.0.0.1: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) So, I'm guessing that postfix isn't using the .cf files I created with the proper user and password. I've triple checked all the files. The permissions are set properly, the vmail user is correct, mysql lets me log in with the mailadmin user and password, the aliases are set as you've listed, I can telnet to the smtp post and the pop3 port... Any ideas?


text: Lahore - Former Pakistan captain Hanif Mohammad believes the team's Australian coach Dav Whatmore needs to learn Urdu if he is to succeed with the players.Whatmore has come under fire after Pakistan suffered a 3-0 whitewash in the Test series in South Africa, failing to take any of the matches into the fifth day."I don't want to lay entire blame on him but he needs to learn our common language Urdu if he wants to communicate properly with the players," Hanif said."It is important that a coach is able to convey his sentiments, feelings, advice, commands properly to the players. They must be able to understand and feel what their coach is saying," added the 78-year-old."I don't think this is happening in the team because how many of our players can communicate or speak English fluently?"Hanif, who played 55 Tests, felt a coach would never be able to convey his feelings or advice to a player through an interpreter or in a language not common to both."People don't realise how important a part of the coach's job is communicating properly with his players, who are then responsible for adapting and executing what they are told," he added.South Africa was Pakistan's second straight Test series defeat since Whatmore took over as coach in March last year. They were also beaten in Sri Lanka. The first of a two-match T20 series against South Africa starts in Durban on Friday, followed by a five-match ODI series next week.

Road Trip! Make Your Memorial Day Travel Memorable With These 5 Tips
It's that time of year again, folks. From sea to shining sea, Memorial Day means road trips, and that means you've probably got some planning to do. If it all goes off without a hitch, your biggest dilemma will be whether to heed your passengers' cries for yet another bathroom break. But if you're like us, you'll want to leave as little to chance as possible. So check out these five tips for making this year's Memorial Day travel memorable for all the right reasons.
1. Bring Gadgets
You'll have your smartphones, but there are so many road-trip-enhancing devices these days that you really owe it to yourselves to branch out. If you don't have an in-car entertainment system, we'd suggest a tablet of some sort for the back seat, so you can have 90 minutes of peace while the kids watch Frozen for the fortieth time (just don't forget the car mount). Tablets are great for games, too, including educational ones like Scrabble and chess. And if your phones aren't loaded up with music, well, MP3 players are going to be a must. Hopefully, the car's got an auxiliary input so you can pipe those tunes through the speakers. But if it doesn't -- or if some passengers have, shall we say, eccentric musical tastes -- headphones will do the trick.
2. Keep Those Gadgets Charged
Newer cars can charge devices through built-in USB ports, but even if your ride's getting on in years, you're not out of luck. Consider Anker's powerful 5-port USB car charger with PowerIQ Technology, which can charge five devices at once, plugs into a standard cigarette-lighter power point and costs a reasonable $19.99 on Amazon. If you want to go off the grid, how about Motorola's portable USB power pack? It's only a bit larger than a smartphone, yet it can charge multiple devices multiple times before it needs to be recharged itself. Something like this could come in especially handy if you plan to do any camping or other activities that don't involve plug-in power sources.
3. Be Prepared If Your Car Overheats
If your car's ever going to overheat, it'll probably be on a warm-weather trek like this one, and who knows where you'll be? Even if you've got roadside assistance, help might be hours away. So here's a quick lesson on what to do if you notice the temperature needle creeping higher than usual on the road. First, as unpleasant as it sounds, turn off the air conditioner and open the windows. That might fix the problem, because the A/C system puts a serious load on the engine. If your situation doesn't improve, brace yourself for further discomfort and turn the heat on full-blast. This is the most effective way to solve temporary overheating issues, even if it also effectively makes passengers miserable.
If the tips above aren't effective, you've got a more serious issue, so pull over, turn the engine off and let it cool down while you call for help. Do not touch the radiator cap, as that's a great way to burn yourself badly. But with any luck, the "A/C off, heater on" sequence will save you before you're forced to stop. Be sure to commit it to memory; we sincerely hope you'll never need it.
4. Pack Plenty of Water
Suppose you follow our advice to prevent your car from overheating and end up driving in the hot sun with the heater on for a while. Everyone in the car is going to be thirsty as a dog. Indeed, folks get thirsty on road trips even under normal circumstances, and depending on where you're going, roadside stores could be few and far between. Our tried-and-true solution is to pack a high-quality (read: leak-proof) cooler full of bottled water and throw it in the trunk. You'll never run out, and as a bonus, you'll never have to make an impromptu pit stop to quench anyone's thirst, either.
5. Consider a Pre-Trip Safety Inspection
The importance of this step depends in part on how old your car is, but even if it's relatively new, 50 bucks or so is a small price to pay for peace of mind. That's how much a reputable mechanic should charge to give your car a thorough once-over and make sure nothing's on the verge of collapse. During the inspection, the technician will top off your vital fluids (including coolant, which is relevant to tip number 3), check your tires and wiper blades, and inspect things such as belts and hoses for excessive wear. Just remember to go at least a few days before your scheduled departure; that way, if something serious needs to be fixed, you'll still have the car back in time to hit the road. And imagine how relieved you'll be that you found out before your Memorial Day travel rather than during it.
