Comment: Re:Systemd? Not on my system... (Score 1) 226
You just claimed your SysV init scripts are helping your software take advantage of cgroups.
If that's what you read, you need to practice your reading skills, cause they suck.
What I pointed out is that cgroups are separate from the init process, and can and do indeed run on sysv init systems too. cgroups has nothing to do with init, and runs separate from init no matter what you use for init.
When you brought up cgroups as an argument, it appeared to be from a false belief that systemd was needed for cgroups to work - in fact, it's the other way around!
And when systemd uses cgroups, it takes them over for its own purpose, which lessens the value of cgroups compared to systems where you are free to use cgroups from scratch. Freedom to choose - that's what makes Unix great. Poetterware takes away that freedom.

The Civil Service Office will be upgrading its online application system in the next several months. If you haven't done so already, please take a moment and make sure you have an up-to-date "Application On File" in your account as this will be the only application that will remain in your online account once we upgrade to the new system.
We are currently recruiting candidates for the jobs listed below. Click on a job title below to view more detail, and if you believe you qualify then click the option at the top or bottom of the job bulletin to 'Apply Online.' All recruitments close Eastern Standard Time on the date and time specified, which means your application will NOT be accepted if submitted after the deadline. If the recruitment is 'Extended' then please note that the recruitment may stay open for an unspecified number of days but may also end at any time WITHOUT notice.
There are two types of recruitments: Closed Promotional and Open Competitive. Closed Promotional recruitments and Open Competitive recruitments are independent of each other.  Closed Promotional recruitments are for tenured County employees ONLY and can be found by clicking the 'Internal Jobs' link from the menu above.  If you are a tenured County employee and apply for a 'Closed Promotional' (internal) recruitment and want to be considered for the same classification under an Open Competitive recruitment, then you must submit a separate application to us through the Open Competitive recruitment process. The Hillsborough County Civil Service system uses a shared service model to fill vacancies from distributed eligibility lists. This means that agencies share eligibility lists, and you may be hired by an agency other than the one listed at the top of the job bulletin.  Therefore, you are encouraged to apply for jobs that interest you regardless of the agency or department indicated.
If you applied more than 60 days ago for an Open recruitment that is now 'extended,' and you would like to re-apply, then click 'My Applications' link above, log-in, and then click the re-apply button where indicated.
The Civil Service Office will not receive nor review your 'Application-On-File'.  Use the application on file to store your employment and educational information. When you see a job that interests you, copy your application on file into the new job specific application and submit the job specific application to us. In most cases you should select your Application On File as the application to copy information from, but you may also select another application if you have more than one in your account.  If you fill out an 'Application On File' and submit it to us thinking you are applying for a specific job, then be aware that you have NOT applied for anything and will not be considered for that job.

Men's Hockey Splits, Still Top of WCHA
SCSU's men's hockey team wrapped up their final regular season home stand of the season with a pair of WCHA meetings against Michigan Tech over the weekend. St. Cloud State was victorious on Friday night 5-3. SCSU went one for three on the power play in the contest, scoring during the first man advantage of the game. Drew LeBlanc made the game 1-0 early in the first period and from that point on SCSU dominated. The Michigan Tech Huskies made an attempt at a comeback in the third period, scoring three goals but were unable to get anymore pucks past goaltender Ryan Faragher. Faragher made 42 saves in the contest.
Saturday night was senior night, featuring a ceremony that honored the careers of Taylor Johnson, Ben Hanowski and Drew LeBlanc prior to puck drop. (Listen to KVSC's Senior Salute from the broadcast here.) The night proved to be an emotional turmoil for the SCSU as they fell to the unranked Huskies of Michigan Tech 5-1. Michigan Tech wasted no time scoring in the game notching their first goal at the :28 mark of the first period to take a 1-0 lead that they never gave up. St. Cloud State took 37 shots in the contest but only one was able to get past MTU's goaltender Jamie Phillips. Jimmy Murray scored the lone goal for SCSU with just under three minutes remaining.
St. Cloud State does remain in the top spot of the WCHA with a two-point lead over Minnesota and North Dakota. With the win Friday the Huskies secured a home ice spot for the first round of WCHA playoffs March 15-17th. St. Cloud State dropped in USCHO polls this week to eighth place and is now tied for tenth place in the all-important PairWise rankings.
The Huskies will battle for the MacNaughton this weekend when they round out the regular season in Madison, WI for a pair of games with the Badgers. Wisconsin is coming off a sweep last weekend at Nebraska-Omaha and is still in the hunt for a home ice spot. The KVSC Sports Department will provide live coverage from Madison, WI all weekend long. Listen on KVSC 88.1 FM both Friday and Saturday night, coverage begins at 6:45 p.m. The puck will drop at 7:07 for both games of the series.

At the first wine auction I ever attended, I saw the repeal of the law of one price. This empirical surprise led me to begin collecting data on wine auctions, to interview auctioneers, and even to buy a little wine. In the meantime I have also had the opportunity (with John Abowd) to observe and collect data on the auction sale of impressionist and contemporary paintings. This paper reports on some of the empirical regularities that I and others have observed in the actual operation of the auction markets for these items. In view of the rich and diverse array of theoretical literature on auctions, it seems high time economists began to spell out precisely what facts it is meant to explain.

Sen. Jim Inhofe said in a radio interview with WABC's Aaron Klein that "I probably wouldn't be here if I was insured under Obamacare." He goes on to tell how he was able to get his open heart surgery fast, while at his age if he were under this program, he would probably have to have waited six months or more and be dead.
Sen. Inhofe's statement and his additional comment that he will do whatever "it takes to fight for Obamacare to be defunded and repealed" have angered me and many others. Some have said that if he were one of the 40 million uninsured, or wasn't on the elite Congress health plan and able to get priority for his early surgery, he also could have been dead.
I'm a registered Democrat and have voted for Senator Inhofe in the past because I respected him. I would never vote for him again or probably any other Republican, especially those responsible for the shutdown and near-disaster of a default.
Sen. Inhofe and I are old enough to remember the Great Depression, but evidently he was not affected by it like I and many others were. I starved and didn't have the medical services needed for extremely severe childhood diseases. I saw relatives and neighbors suffer and die hungry and without adequate medical services, and this still bothers me a lot. I can not understand anyone not wanting people to have food and adequate medical services.
I'm a disabled Korean combat veteran and angry that many of our elected officials do not adequately support needed veteran services, and these were also affected by the shutdown. Sen. Inhofe has always been very supportive of veterans, and I respect and thank him for that. I cannot forgive him and the extremists for the shutdown.

Kenya plans Africa's first utility-scale wind turbines
The Lake Turkana Wind Power consortium will provide 300 MW of wind power to Kenya's national electricity grid by July 2012.
Kenya's 300 MW Lake Turkana wind power project, Africa's first utility-scale wind turbines, will enter construction by the end of the year, according to the wind farm developer.
Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) consortium is poised to provide 300 MW of clean power to Kenya's national electricity grid by taking advantage of a unique wind resource in Northwest Kenya near Lake Turkana. Using the latest wind turbine technology, LTWP can provide power to satisfy up to 30% of Kenya's current total installed power.
According to their website, LTWP will construct a wind farm consisting of 353 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 850 kW. The total foreseen power generated by the initial phase of this wind farm is expected to add 30% or more to the total existing installed capacity available in Kenya. Wind-turbine technology has seen recent rapid improvement with the development of wind turbines such as the Vestas V52, the design standard selected by LTWP.
Kenya's 300 MW Lake Turkana wind energy project construction will start by December, following the issue by the government of a letter of support.
LTWP is a subsidiary of KP&P, a firm from the Netherlands that sets up wind farm projects. "We now look to breaking ground by December, to having the initial 50 MW running on the national grid by September 2013, and to reach full capacity by mid-2014," LTWP Chairman Carlo Van Wageningen said at the signing of the government letter of support.
The 300 MW will be transmitted to the national grid through a 428 km overhead line to the state-run Kenya Power and Lighting Company. The Kenyan government will earn about $20 million in carbon credit earnings.

David Bradley '71
Bachelor of Science, Electrical Engineering
The next time your computer freezes, you can thank a Flyer when you're quickly able to unlock it. Best known for inventing the three-key sequence known as "Control-Alt-Delete," David Bradley holds 10 patents related to computer design and was one of the original 12 engineers who began work on the IBM personal computer in 1980.
He was responsible for the Basic Input/Output System, known as "BIOS," writing the code that controlled the display, keyboard, diskette drive, printer and other system hardware devices. Because two of his patents were critical to IBM's success, he was honored with IBM's Corporate Patent Portfolio Award. He also wrote a technical manual for the PC and founded a PC architecture group to assist in establishing consistency across IBM products.
After earning a bachelor's in electrical engineering from UD, Bradley earned a doctorate in electrical engineering from Purdue University. With a busy schedule, keyboard shortcuts are still his favorite time-saver.
"I started using PCs when everything was entered on the command line; no drag/drop/click. So, the shortcuts I've learned through the years, like Control-C to copy, or Control-V to paste, make a difference. I hate moving my hand to the mouse to do those things," he said, noting that he's not immune to a computer's time vacuum, either.
"My favorite time wasters are probably just like everybody else. Reading blogs by people I don't know about things I really don't care about, just because they are interesting, reading things discovered while looking something else up," he said. "One not like everybody else — I love taking a PC apart to make it run faster or better."
On top of a 30-year career at IBM, Bradley has been an adjunct professor at Florida Atlantic University and North Carolina State University.

Yellow Ostrich frontman Schaaf rooted in Wisconsin — and space
Seeking to create a bigger sound for the band's new indie-rock album, Yellow Ostrich frontman Alex Schaaf was influenced by the vastness of space, particularly the books of Carl Sagan and his landmark miniseries "Cosmos," of which the album shares a name.
But where Schaaf first found inspiration was far smaller in stature: Prairie du Chien, where the New York-based musician grew up the son of a butcher shop owner and a family living agent working for Crawford County. »Read Full Article

Harper Lee says she didn't OK new book about her
CHICAGO (AP) - The reclusive author of "To Kill a Mockingbird," one of the most acclaimed novels of the 20th century, says she never gave her approval to a new memoir that portrays itself as a rare, intimate look into the lives of the writer and her older sister in small-town Alabama.
"Rest assured, as long as I am alive any book purporting to be with my cooperation is a falsehood," Harper Lee said in a letter released Monday, just as the new book, "The Mockingbird Next Door: Life with Harper Lee" was about to released. The book was written by Marja Mills, a former Chicago Tribune reporter, who moved next door to Lee and her sister, Alice, in 2004 and remained there for 18 months. »Read Full Article

ok, felt something pop in my left knee the other day, got the doctor to send me for an MRI.
OK, got the test results back, today, there is so much going on with my left knee that my PCP said that she highly tought that they'll be wanting to do a complete knee replacement.
now the right knee they what to do the mensicus surgery on it.
what's so funny, is the right knee is the one that's hurting the worst, sitting, sleeping or doing even less. Reason I asked them to check the left knee was that the other day when I got out of bed, something popped in my knee. talk about an ouch! after that, there wasn't really any other problems,
sheesh, torn ACL, bone on bone rubbing, some type of cyst, along with so many other things that I can't begin to remember them all. sheesh,
just now starting to get back on my feet money wise, can't afford to take 'HOW LONG" for a total knee replacement! maybe they'd let me come back to work, after 2 weeks, especially since with my security job, I can stagger the walking patrols.
wonder if I call my lawyer that I had used to try and get SSI to see if maybe I could get a temporary SSI, at least until I've recoveed from both surgeries. hmm, wonder if I can get them to do BOTH KNEES at the same time. Hey, have no family member that could help me, well, guess I could live with one of my sisters both are school bus drivers, it's just that one lives closer than the other.
or better yet, stay at my home, have the nurse or whatever come around and help me daily, and then arrange for transportation for PT, guess I could get my father to take me to that, though I feel I'd wring his neck,
grrrr! fathers!
so what's a body to do!
all of this is on top of my torn rotator cuff,
also my left wrist has been swollen for over a year, finally getting the doctor to do something about it. Going for x-rays next week.
went to the hearing doctor, to have some tests, said my hearing was fine, but he did ask me some questions, that I told him that there were time when know that I had trouble hearing people etc. So he sent me for a CT scan, oh fun! MRI one day, CT scan the next day, now, x-rays coming up for next week!
hearing doctor felt that there might be something dealing with the estashion tube (sp) or something with the sinus, or anyway in that general area, by my ears were clear, no wax build up etc.
feeling like a 90 year old lady,
you know the ortho doctor is going to say, first thing firsts, gotta lose weight!
now that's hard, as when ever I try something, I'm in so much pain the next day it's unbelieveable. Either due to FM or the other problems, or at least all of them mixed up together!
no wonder the pain management doctor is angry with me, his treatment isn't heling much, depression wise pain wise etc.
hey, with all of these other pains going on, no wonder nothing he's doing is really helping!
I'm sorry to hear what you're facing and hope you manage to get what you need so you can proceed.
I encourage you to also post on our (quieter) Knee & Hip Replacement Community as you go forward with both these procedures. You'll get support and insight there on these knee surgeries.
I am so sorry that you are having so much to deal with....it sounds like to me that you should be applying for SSD....don't know how old you are or what is going on with you money wise...but I think you have a long recovery looking at you...
I say this because I also feel some days like I am 90 plus years old....and I have had 4 knee surgeries on the right knee....and my left knee is bad also...and then just recently I have had lower back issues...which they think now might be from my SI joint...it seems like it is always something to deal with.
I do know though that you have to be on SSD for 2 years (I think this is right) before you can get medicare...and who knows what will happen after the election takes place this year...
I hope your doctors can figure something out for you....
Take care and keep us updated...
Good luck..
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
So sorry to hear all your issues. First off, my mother and i have FM and RA. Her RA and FM is so bad that she can barely get out of bed some days. and she has had both rotater cuffs and both knees replaced....dont recommend both at the same time.....one knee at a time and one shoulder at a time. healing wise, she was in the rehab for 1 month. as they did the PT right there at the nursing facility she had to go to after her surgery....And yes, drs will not do both knees at the same time...you need to be able to walk somewhat and the pain of the PT is such that i could hardly watch my mom do her PT cuz i could see how much she hurt.....But, now that her surgeries are over, she is having remicade injections to slow the progression of RA but personally, i dont think its working.....i am trying to nip my stuff in the bud as when she started getting diagnosed with RA it wasnt until she was in so much pain and could barely walk or breathe that she waited to long and the damage was more severe....she started getting treatment in her early 60's. Im 53 and working on mine now. But i guess either way, the body is going to do what its going to do. I think the best medicine is just to stay focused on how to find something that makes you happy.....no matter what that is....mine is my grandbaby.....and i have a supportive family. Do you have insurance? look into nursing facility who will do the PT there so that after surgery you can just be transported. Or maybe your situation is just like mine...you can only do so much and at certain times....seems to be the way of life. Job over health, and money over everything else...well thats another discussion in itself....well good luck with everything....have an awesome day!!!
Nice to hear from you.
I have lost 50 pounds over 2-3 years, it has worked fine for me. It has not helped with FMS pain, but I do feel generally better. I definitely look better. My knees are in great shape, thank goodness. I cut out 100 calories (a cookie or two, or a piece of bread) per day, and increased my physical activity by an hour a day (over quite a long time).
Do what you can, and don't worry about what you cannot do.
Take care, Annette

Major League Baseball delighted its hardcore fans today with the announcement that it will complete the 1994 season, giving fans closure to a very exciting season that was full of turmoil and drama.
"This is so awesome," said Expos fan Marc Beaugard, camping outside the now-vacant Olympic Stadium for tickets. "This is like if the Beatles got back together and recorded Chinese Democracy. Or something. I don't know. It's a long time coming."
Commissioner Bud Selig said he hopes this gives fans what they have always wanted, makes amends for the cancellation of the end of the 1994 season to due labor strife, and keeps baseball in the headlines during the long off-season. The schedule will pick up on Monday with the games scheduled for August 12, 1994 and will play the post-season through to its completion. Division leaders remain the Yankees, White Sox, Rangers, Dodgers, Reds and Expos — sporting a gaudy 74-40 mark.
"We have a big lead, but this is all going to come down to what team has the most depth and youth," said Expos manager Felipe Alou. "Many of the guys in the league haven't played in 10 years or more. There will be a lot of injuries, a lot of adjustment."
"Oh, no. This is not good," said Expos ace Ken Hill. "I haven't thrown a baseball in eight years. And I don't even know what I weigh now — 290? 325? I might be able to go one batter to start. Pedro [Martinez] is going to have to handle the bulk of the innings. I hope to be able to go an inning or two by the playoffs."
Giants third baseman Matt Wiliams, who retired as a member of the Diamondbacks after the 2003 season, says he is excited to renew his assault on the single-season home run record.
"I'm on 43 and I have almost two months left in the season," he said. "I'm a little rusty, but I'm sure the pitchers won't be on their A-games either. Just wondering, if we're replaying 1994 … umm … are, uh, steroids still … you know, encouraged?"
And while many fans are ecstatic about the completion of the long-awaited season, others say they are worried it will ruin their memories.
"This just feels like a cash grab," said Reds fan Greg Miller. "Like one of those awful Gilligan's Island reunion movies or some old band going on tour. But I'll watch still. I heard they're doing the entire completion of the season in 1080p HD! That's awesome."
MLB to Complete Long-Awaited 1994 Season

ENID, Okla. —
Bond was denied and arrest warrants issued Friday for three female Garfield County jailers charged with sexual battery and bringing contraband into the jail.
Staci Nicole Guffey, 19; Kevina Guadalupe Abercrombie, 29; and Krystal Dawn Davidson, 32, all were charged with felonies Friday.
Download a PDF of the court documents HERE. (Note: contains graphic content.)
Davidson faces one count of second-degree rape, or in the alternative a count of sexual battery, another count of sexual battery and two counts of bringing contraband into a jail (cell phones and tobacco), and Guffey and Abercrombie were charged with a count each of sexual battery and two counts of bringing contraband into a jail.
Second-degree rape is punishable by five to 15 years in prison.
Each count of sexual battery is punishable by up to five years in prison. Charges of bringing a cell phone into the jail, a felony, is punishable by up to two years in prison and/or a fine of up to $2,500.
The counts of bringing tobacco into a jail, misdemeanors, are punishable by up to a year in jail and/or a fine of up to $500.
A Sept. 7 search of Garfield County Detention Facility led to the discovery of cell phones and contraband that prompted an investigation, according to an affidavit filed in the case. Investigators learned of inappropriate relationships between inmates and certain jailers, along with staff bringing contraband into the facility.
Undersheriff Jerry Niles said five jailers were placed on administrative leave following the search, and all were fired or resigned between Sept. 10 and 11.
Niles said the department holds its jailers to a higher standard and expects them to follow the law.
"We do hold our staff, and our staff does hold themselves, to higher standards," he said. "We don't want the allegations against these three individuals to reflect upon the detention staff as a whole, because they are professional and hardworking.
"Anytime when humans are dealing with other humans, sometimes their judgment gets clouded."
Niles said the women, upon their arrest, would be placed into protective segregation.
Each woman was interviewed by jail staff and admitted to having relationships with inmates and to bringing them items such as food, stamps, tobacco and cell phones.
According to the affidavit filed in Davidson's case, she spoke with Deputy Steve Ramsey Sept. 11 and admitted to having relationships with four inmates.
She said her relationship with one began as "excessive conversations" that led to writing notes and letters and into a physical relationship where the two would hug, make out and attempt to have sex.
Davidson said she brought the inmate gum, soda, rolling tobacco, chewing tobacco and marijuana.
On Sept. 12, Davidson made a second statement in reference to Abercrombie.
She said Abercrombie was having inappropriate relationships with two inmates and would manipulate the video surveillance cameras to allow her unseen access to inmates, according to the affidavit.
In another statement made Sept. 18, Davidson admitted to another relationship with a fifth inmate. She said she wrote this inmate letters, gave him her phone number and kissed him.
Ramsey interviewed one of the five inmates Davidson had a relationship with Sept. 12. The inmate told Ramsey he had sex with Davidson, touched her sexually and had "make out sessions" with the jailer.
In a Sept. 18 follow-up interview, the inmate said Davidson continued to write to him under false names, and said he wanted a protective order issued against Davidson.
Two cell phones belonging to Davidson were searched. The phones contained text messages between Davidson and various inmates, as well as videos of Davidson and one of the inmates pleasing themselves, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit in Guffey's case states she quit her job Sept. 11 without giving notice. Guffey spoke with Jail Administrator Dorothy Tabor about her actions with an inmate and an inappropriate relationship she had with him.
Guffey said on Sept. 3, she was working in the central control tower and allowed an inmate out of his pod and into the tower, according to the affidavit. She said they talked and hugged, but did nothing else in the tower. She also told Tabor she and the inmate had been talking on the phone. Guffey said she was in a relationship with the inmate and had been going out for about two weeks.
Letters to the inmate from Guffey were confiscated during a search of the jail. In the letters, Guffey wrote how soft the inmate's lips were and how much she enjoyed what happened between the two of them in the tower. Guffey also mentioned in one letter how she would let the inmate have sex with her.
Ramsey spoke with the inmate Sept. 11 about his relationship with Guffey.
The inmate said he and Guffey had been having a relationship, and he was engaged to be married to her, according to the affidavit. He said Guffey did let him into the tower and they hugged and kissed, but nothing further happened.
The inmate said Guffey brought him contraband, but then refused to cooperate further with the investigation.
Ramsey spoke with Guffey again Sept. 13. Guffey said on Aug. 8, she was working in the central control tower and started a conversation with an inmate through the emergency intercom system.
She said she would often have conversations with the inmate when she was working in the central control tower, according to the affidavit. She said they began a correspondence through letters, in which she would use an alias.
She said it was too expensive for the inmate to call her, so she bought him a GoPhone. She said after two weeks, they expressed their love for one another. Using another name, she put money on the inmate's account at the jail.
She said she brought him other items such as cigarettes, candy bars and an ink pen, and would fabricate reasons to come to the jail on her days off, according to the affidavit.
She said on the day she quit her job, she went to see the inmate and the two shared a kiss and a hug.
She said she would "assist" other jail staff having relationships with inmates by turning cameras and flashing the lights to warn other jail staff was coming.
Abercrombie told Lt. Shon Jackson, Ramsey and Deputy Laura Roberts she was in a relationship with an inmate and disclosed other relationships between jailers and other inmates.
She said her relationship with an inmate began with small talk and grew the more they spent time together. She said she began writing the inmate and sent letters using his last name.
She said as the relationship grew, she began bringing things into the jail for the inmate, such as books of stamps and Dr Pepper, according to the affidavit. She said she spoke "at great lengths" with the inmate over the jail's intercom system.
Abercrombie said she would have "consensual mini make-out sessions" with the inmate, according to the affidavit. She said they never went further than kissing and cuddling.
She recalled sharing between 15 to 20 kisses with the inmate while he was assigned as a trustee. Abercrombie used her cell phone to take pictures of her and the inmate, according to the affidavit.
The inmate was moved to another pod, but Abercrombie still had conversations with him over the intercom system. She said she brought him other items, such as stamps, gum, mechanical pencils, puzzle books and beef jerky, as well as a cell phone and charger. She also placed $40 to $50 on the inmate's account on two or three occasions.
Abercrombie said she would move cameras to hide her movements and conceal contact with the inmate. She said she would accept cleaning and other duties to be near to the inmate.
Abercrombie described her relationship with the inmate as "true love," and said she desired long-term happiness upon his release from prison, according to the affidavit. Abercrombie said she sees marriage and future with the inmate.
She also said she helped other jailers conceal relationships with inmates by flashing the lights or signaling other jailers if someone was coming.
Jackson and Ramsey interviewed the inmate Sept. 13, and he admitted to having a relationship with Abercrombie. He would not disclose or go into great detail about his relationship with her.
The inmate appeared "genuinely concerned" about Abercrombie and would not admit to receiving items from her, according to the affidavit. He indicated he truly cared for Abercrombie and terminated the interview and refused to cooperate further.

You know when people die and go to heaven. How come they are not hurrying up knowing how much better it is up there?
Tell her heaven's a reward for living the best life you can. If you prematurely end the trial of life, you risk losing heaven's reward.
Then tell her how you love baby Jesus.
In heaven there is reward for everyone, but sometime they just don't know it.

Ken Conrad, a Senior Research Scientist who works with Amway's eSpring water filter technology, recently updated us on an innovative partnership that is bringing safe water to Haiti. – Jesse
It's about people helping people in need.
Amway R&D personnel volunteered their time to build 300 chlorination and safe storage systems over the past week. The devices were shipped to Cascade Engineering in Grand Rapids, then to Jacksonville, Florida where the US Navy will be delivering these to Port-au-Prince through its "Project Handclasp."
A local nonprofit partner in Haiti, Pure Water for the World, will be helping install and train users once they arrive. The plan now is to install groups of HydrAid biosand filter systems in schools and clinics. The remaining systems will be sent over the next several weeks.
This has been a unique partnership among several companies and aid agencies with the goal of providing safe water to disaster victims in Haiti. Amway teamed up with the Safe Water Team, a West Michigan nonprofit organization, and Triple Quest, a Joint Venture of Cascade Engineering and Windquest Group, to supply 1,000 HydrAid BioSand filter systems to Haitian earthquake victims.
Biosand filter technology used in developing countries has been around for over ten years. However, the design was enhanced for disaster relief with additional disinfection technology by Amway engineers. The addition includes a new tablet disinfection chamber and a safe storage container including a carbon filter.
The system works based on gravity and does not require electricity or water pressure. Five gallons of raw water, typically from rivers or lakes, is poured in the top of the HydrAid and filters through in a batch process. Water then passes through the chlorinator and into the portable storage container.
The additional disinfection helps overcome limitations of the biosand filter namely; 1) users need to wait for up to 14 days for the biosand to be effective for new installations, 2) overuse in disaster situations and 3) recontamination of treated water. The carbon filter in the storage container then removes the chlorine taste as water is dispensed. This new chlorination helps increase the effectiveness of the system to kill bacteria and viruses by greater than 99.99%. The new technology addition has patents pending.

From George Gardner:
Hello to all my fellow Construction Division members!
As many of you know, at this time of year, our Construction Division members are working diligently on the upcoming 2014 IIE Annual Conference being held in Canada. Thanks to the efforts of our own Al Atth and Lincoln Forbes (plus others on the board), it looks like we have a solid lineup of speakers for the event! The final list of speakers and their presentation materials will be available shortly. Even if you can't be a speaker, it is always a very fun and excellent learning event. Read more
The results are in and the Construction Division would like to extend a big congratulations to the following student paper competition winners:
First place: Laura Florez-Perez, Georgia Institute of Technology, "Decision Support System for Sustainable Labor Management in Masonry Construction"

Every animal lover remembers the death of their first pet. Whether it was a 22-year-old cat who had lived as long as she possibly could, or a beloved dog whose life was cut too short after a tragedy, no one ever forgets losing a pet.
This week on Moms Talk, we want to hear how Dearborn parents make the best of a bad situation: How do you talk to your kids about the death of a pet?
Do you sugarcoat it with stories of doggy and kitty heaven, or lay it down straight? Do you bring in a replacement pet right away to soothe the pain, or let them learn to grieve? Or, even riskier, do you lie and say that Rex ran away?
Share your tips, stories and plans here on Moms Talk!

On draft at Whip In, Austin Texas.
Really nice tequila kick to differentiate it from the whiskey barrel crowd. pretty beer, The brewer Twisted X, referes to it as an imperial black lager and I agree.
I liked the color and sipping quality, I also really liked the tequila reminder that came after.

Half pint for $5 at The Whip In in South Austin. I haven't heard of anywhere else having it.
Spicy, chocolate and vanilla, earthy. Tequila and oak presence is nice. Reminiscent of a lagered Baltic Porter mixed with a not-so-big barrel-aged porter or stout. Silky mouthfeel, lowly carbonated. Not too heavy, esp. for 8.2%.
I was intrigued by the big black lager aspect, but moreso, the tequila oak-aged aspect. The aroma is definitely its most impressive aspect. For a lager, I'd like crisper and more highly carbonated. Given the tequila oak-aging, I'd prefer something more robust and chocolately or earthy. That being said, it's an ambitious beer that's worth ordering.
From their website:
Tex Mex Imperial Black Lager - Schwarzbier Republic Tequila Barrel Aged
This Schwarzbier has been "imperialized" (alcohol content increased) and then left to age in tequila barrels (used Jack Daniels barrels which are then used by Republic Tequila to age there tequila to Repasado or Anejo styles). Aging this unique beer in tequila barrels adds subtle flavors of vanilla and oak while the tequila adds a mild citrus/agave sweetness. At 8.2% alcohol by volume Senor Viejo is our strongest, most seasoned beer.
About the name:
Senor Viejo meaning "very old man" or "the old one" or "Veteran". Schwarzbier, or "black beer", is a German dark lager beer. It has an opaque, black color and a full, chocolaty or coffee flavor. Although they share some similar flavors they are milder tasting and less bitter than British stouts or porters, owing to the use of Mexican lager rather than ale yeast and no roasted barley.
ABV: 8.2% - OG (Plato): 18 - IBU: 28 - SRM: 29

On tap at the Draught House at the 43rd Anniversary party.
The beer pours a dark brown color with a tan head. The aroma is a mix of lightly roasted malts with just a little bit of cocoa, as well as a little bit of oak and some spice. For a beer that has more than 8 percent alcohol you can't really detect any in the aroma.
The flavor is where the tequila aging becomes more evident. I get quite a bit of earthiness and oak in the flavor, as well as some of the lightly toasted/roasted malt from the aroma. There is a little bit of spice in the flavor, possibly from the barrel aging. The chocolate from the aroma was not really present in the flavor. The alcohol is well hidden.
Medium mouthfeel and low carbonation.

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Lots of flint, nice and compact in the holder.
Works like it should.
Cons: It can be tricky to get it started, my knife isn't the same in the picture, there is a round cut-out at the tip that has grooves on it that you would strike the flint with, but it didn't seem to work as well as using the side of the knife.
Other: It will last a long time, play with it in a non-windy place and try and get it working. Once you have a knack for it, then try it in the woods or something.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It has good stuff together, whistle, a blade. You want to have as much small stuff that can save you for those first few days, when you are in trouble. The flint stick is nice and thick and can be retracted into the holder. When you are too tired to scream, a whistle can do so much more.
Cons: The stick that needs to be scratched is loose, when you are striking it, it almost falls out and I'm afraid it will in the future. All the stuff is apart from eachother so when you are not careful, you might lose an item, making it harder to use properly. The stick is rather short, alltogether maybe too big for my taste as well.
Other: Still a reasonable item, but I'd rather wish I'd chosen some other product that has the same things. So, see for yourself which one you want to choose. But in the end, they can all come in handy when you need to survive.

Hi Guy:
Hows your weather?
Hi Bungee,
For some reason, I missed your April 5th post on my whiteboard.
I left MN in November, 2009 (avoiding another MN winter) and moved back to CA.
Daily Diner is open 7-7 Monday through Saturday and 9-2 on Sunday.
What part of northern MN? I have relatives in Duluth and Garrison.
Yes-Lancaster, CA! :)
I am about an hour-an hour and a half west of Apple Valley, CA and the I-15 that you took to Vegas. I'll be in MSP in early August, and I have a close relative that used to live off of Pilot Knob Road in Eagan, MN. (Saw your SA station from PKR.) Was born and raised in MN, and still have almost all of our family living there!
I agree with your post. I was supporting DI after StillTaylorMade posted their comments. Unless things have changed lately, I believe that your a supporter of DI and took your comment as such!
You know if you miss a day, supposedly you can write to the Mods and they will give you a pass. I missed a day between 1st & 2nd year and had to start over as well. They didn't have the deal back then about missing a day. Bummer!
Welcome to Prior Lake and Lake "Mystake"! Haven't seen you here recently. Thanks for posting! KK

serious work. We reviewed in excess of 23,540 jokes, one-liners,
witty remarks, stand-up lines and bon mots. We read towers
of books, surfed the Internet, asked our brokers and listened
to hours of performances on audio- and videotape. And we polled
dozens of humorists and comedians. The result is what you
see here. The Top Seventy-five of All Time.

Weatherford Democrat
— By GREG WEBB
It has been a relatively long time since Rangers fans have seen such a drought ... and I'm not referring to the incessant lack of rain, and solar baking we are in the beginning throes of experiencing for the next three, four or perhaps even five months.
I'm talking about the thirsting for Texas Rangers trips around the base paths. You know — offense. Double digits, blowouts (the good kind). Just a comfortable lead would be nice, as the Rangers pitching staff would no doubt agree if it was PC to mention it.
As of this writing, the past four games have yielded just three runs for The Ballpark guys, and the last eight losses have netted less than three runs per outing.
These are numbers from the miserable past, when Texas had some really good pitchers taking residence on the Arlington mounds, but usually ended up carting them north to try to get at least a handful of hitters.
Some of you longer-toothed fans (or young baseball historians) may remember Ranger hurlers like Burt Blyleven, who went on to a wondrous career, or maybe the (alleged) spit-balling Gaylord Perry, who won a Cy Young not too long after exiting.
Just how many 1-0 losses did Blyleven have with the Rangers?
Seriously, I know I "doth protest too much," but I recently was a bit confounded — and to perpetuate my favorite, self-deprecating humor, I am confounded much too often — But anyway, in the mid-innings of a tight ball game, the Rangers had finally gotten runners on first and second and no outs, with Nellie Cruz stepping to the plate. Runs were at a premium ...
And OK, maybe this is a sort of sacrilege, or perhaps it is beneath the dignity of "home run hitters." But why not have even some of the "big guys" lay down a bunt, Coach? (especially when you are starving for offense).
So, instead of the prospect of one out and runners at second and third, (and the latter really happened) your batter hits into a double play. Yeah, I know the lineup is in a shambles right now, but desperate times...
Maybe I'm under-estimating the difficulty of a big-leaguer laying down a bunt, or over-estimating the eye-to-hand coordination of the big banger. Well, at least he can catch fly balls ... DOH! Sorry, St. Louis still hurts.

The Long Island Rail Road will come to a halt Saturday afternoon as Hurricane Irene begins to slam into the region.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday that the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) will institute a system-wide shutdown with trains and buses beginning their final runs starting around noon on Saturday.
The shutdown will include the LIRR, along with subways, buses, Metro-North Railroad and Access-A-Ride.
"We are fully committed and we are preparing for the worst," Cuomo said.
The LIRR cancelled some trains to the East End Friday to allow crews to prep and secure equipment before the storm hits.
It may also be difficult to get off Long Island once the wind starts picking up. State officials said that if wind speeds exceed 60 mph, most major bridges, including the George Washington and Verrazano, will be closed to all traffic.
This is a breaking news story. Stay with Patch for updates throughout the weekend.

Rally Legend: WRC Superstar Sebastien Loeb Graces X Games, Easily Claims RallyCross Victory
Most X Games fans in the United States more than likely weren't familiar with Sebastien Loeb. Little did they know – especially due to a lack of publicity by the Games – that a Global World Rally Car Championship (WRC) Superstar and Legend was in their midst. Oakley's eight-time WRC Champion, famous worldwide as an absolute Rally Car Icon in the actual global circuit, made his first-ever appearance in the United States. And as expected, he absolutely punished the field of X Games drivers – lined with crossover riders – displaying the skills of a true international Rally champion. In other words, he was simply next level on his way to an easy Gold.
