Netactive SynergieServer Pro
Product Description: Pentium Pro Server machine.
Netactive Systems, LTD.
Price: $3,472 (as of August 5, 1996)
Reviewer: Jonathan Gross
Sitting on my desk is a 100mhz 486DX-4 workstation with 32M of RAM. It has cables falling out of the case, the cover is just sitting on the floor, the wiring is a mess, and god only knows where the manuals for the components are. It took me at least two days to get all the pieces working together, X configured, and everything running relatively smoothly—and probably cost me around $2,000.
My DX4-100 is relatively fast; I can run a couple copies of XEmacs on it, and a kernel compile takes around twelve minutes. Not too bad, and certainly better than the 386-25 sitting in my closet next to it, or the 486-33 in the living room.
The DX4-100 was enough until something happened at work.
A company called Netactive Systems, Ltd. sent Linux Journal a machine to try out—their SynergieServer Pro. My DX4-100 isn't so fast anymore.
I am impressed with Netactive. Usually when you buy a machine, either from a local vendor or mail-order, it is a fairly sterile transaction. You hand them your credit card and they blithely hand you a box full of electronics—it's kind of like going to the Motel 6 of computer stores. Netactive is more like going to the Four Seasons Olympic Hotel to buy a machine.
Every machine is put together by an engineer who approves it for shipping. Before it is shipped the same engineer writes a letter to the recipient explaining the configuration and highlights of the system. An excerpt from ours:
"Fundamentally, it does not take much engineering excellence to put together a great $15,000 dollar Intel-based computer; just buy a couple of everything with a great big name on its shiny new box and throw it together. It does, however, take a little bit of know-how to make a truly great $3,500 machine..."
The letter goes on to explain that they put 64M of RAM and a nice video card into it instead of SCSI Wide because Caldera (the installed Linux) is a GUI environment, and the RAM and good video card are going to be a better use of your money than faster disks.
This is cool. It gives you a much better idea of what is in the machine, and why (and even that there is a "why"!) than the usual random checklist of components does. The random list of components is also included, as is a Sysadmins Configuration Guide, which lists all the configuration settings, from IRQ and hardware addresses to domain name and host name of the machine to the disk partitioning. Both the list of parts and the Sysadmin Configuration Guide are sent loose with the other paperwork, and a second copy is taped to the inside of the case. The other paperwork includes: a warranty certificate (three years limited parts, and five year limited labor), the build sheet, and an invoice, all with customer numbers, job number, and serial number for technical support calls and tracking information.
In the machine is:
Motherboard: Asus P/I-P6NP5, Intel Nanoma (440FX) chipset with 4 PCI slots, 1 PCI/Media Bus, 3 ISA slots, Optional Infra-red port, and 64MB FPM DRAM, and an Intel Pentium Pro 200 Mhz chip (with a bearing heat sink and fan).
Drives: Asus PCI-SC2000 Fast SCSI-II HDD (NCR53c810), with a 2.1 GB Seagate/Conner Fast SCSI-II, Teac CD56S 6x CD-ROM.
Video: Diamond Stealth 64 Video 2001 with 2 MB DRAM, and a Princeton EO15 15" monitor (1280x1024@70Hz, non-interlaced).
And more: 3Com 595-T4 (10/100 MB/sec Ethernet), ESS 1688 16-bit Soundblaster compatible sound card, Logitech mouse, 3.5" floppy drive, Seagate TapeStor T-3200, 3.2 GB Travan Drive, and USR v.34 internal modem, and, of course, all the manuals and documentation for everything neatly packed in Manila envelopes.
This all came in a very nicely configured mid-tower case with a dual fan and 250W power supply with all wires neatly routed and tied off.
Software pre-installed included:
Caldera Network Desktop v1.0
Caldera InterNet Office Suite v1.0
X-Inside Accelerated X Server v1.2
Red Hat 3.0.3 "Picasso" kernel 2.0.10
Windows NT
Dual Booting under NT Boot Loader
I fired it up, and after figuring out how to work the NT boot loader (which I despise), Linux was all there, configured and running the way it should be running. I never booted NT, but I assume it was configured just as carefully.
NT brought up the one thing I didn't like about this machine. I would rather use LILO to boot Linux, and not have NT on the drive at all—I'm sure this configuration could be requested if you too want a Linux-only set-up.
The system was fast—we ran the informal JonGrossSpeedTest (building a kernel). Note that both machines had enough RAM so that swapping wasn't an issue...
Jon Gross Machine Speed Test results:
For kernel version 2.0.10 on the Netactive machine (timed using time -v):
Command being timed: "make zImage" User time (seconds): 246.31 System time (seconds): 26.29 Percent of CPU this job got: 93% Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 4:50.37
For kernel version 2.0.10 on the DX4-100:
Command being timed: "make zImage" User time (seconds): 881.37 System time (seconds): 117.16 Percent of CPU this job got: 93% Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 17:49.15
Netactive has done a hell of a job putting together a computer system that is fast, neat, clean and would be hard to build for the same price by buying parts off the shelf.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

AxisMundi Jerusalem
Inside Israel and the Palestinian Territories
On the rocks
A new primetime drama series called "Ayrılık" (meaning 'separation' or 'farewell' in Turkish) recently made its début in Turkey on the state-run TRT 1 television channel. Israel's Channel Two aired a scene from the fictional show, showing a Palestinian father holding a baby above his head and an Israeli soldier in full combat gear taking aim and shooting the infant. Since the broadcast, Israel-Turkey relations have been put under more strain. The heated debate about the show has further influenced previously close ties between the Jewish state and Muslim Turkey that have deteriorated somewhat since Israel's December-January Gaza offensive. At the same time, Turkey has strengthened its relations with neighbouring Syria. (Read more here.)
Leading Israeli daily newspapers Yedioth Ahronoth, Maariv and Haaretz have reported extensively on the show, wondering whether it pointed to growing anti-Semitism in Turkey. Tourism agencies said Israeli vacation bookings in Turkey have fallen steeply since the show was aired. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his disappointment in "the incitement on Turkish TV". Netanyahu aides said Turkey, which has mediated indirect Israeli-Syrian talks, could not be an honest broker in any future peace negotiations. Commenters on Israeli web portal sites have called on Turkey to look in the mirror and take responsibility for what they termed its genocide against the Armenians.
Professor Efraim Inbar, director of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, believes Turkey is "not clean of anti-Semitism".
"Anti-Semitism is not only in Arab countries, we can see now growing anti-Semitism even in Europe and unfortunately Turkey is not clean of anti-Semitism," he told Reuters. "Basically we see a long term development in Turkish foreign policy, which is distancing itself from the West. We've seen the Turks deviate from European behaviour, for example accepting (Iranian) President Ahmadinejad in Istanbul, even inviting President Bashir of Sudan, who was indicted for war crimes. Just recently, the Turks announced they would not join sanctions against Iran as their American allies desire. So we see basically Turkey giving in to the Islamic impulses of the AKP Party (Turkish Prime Minister's Tayyip Erdogan Justice and Development Party)."
The Mysterious Mr. Mitchell's MacGuffin
It's a bit like a Hitchock thriller. Nobody knows where he is — not even the U.S. State Department — and nobody knows when he will show up in Israel. All we know is, suspense is building and it's time to watch out for surprises.
President Barack Obama's Middle East peace envoy Senator George Mitchell is somewhere in transit — probably – and expected in Israel and the Palestinian Territories next week – sometime.
Unlikely visitor
The setting seemed surreal, watching Israel's Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, an ardent ultranationalist, being warmly welcomed to an Arab town.
Only weeks ago Lieberman's Yisrael Beitenu party had introduced bills proposing to restrict the rights of Arab citizens deemed as disloyal to the Jewish state, and many had responded by denouncing him as a racist.
Mr. Nyet?
Israel's new foreign minister, ultranationalist Avigdor Lieberman, sounded a resounding "no" in his inaugural speech to restarting talks with the Palestinians on core issues, such as borders and the future of Jerusalem, leading to peace and the creation of a Palestinian state. Spelling out that position, Lieberman, an immigrant from the former Soviet Union, said Israel was no longer bound by understandings reached at a Middle East peace conference in Annapolis, Maryland in 2007.
Instead, Lieberman said only a U.S.-backed peace "road map", drawn up under the Bush administration in 2003, was binding on Israel.
Trouble with flags
Trouble always looked inevitable when courts gave the go-ahead to Jewish right-wingers to parade with flags through the Arab town of Umm al-Fahm in northern Israel.
As the dramatic video captured by Reuters journalists in the town shows below, the doomsayers were not disappointed.
Marriage feud threatens new Israeli government
As if Benjamin Netanyahu didn't have enough to deal with in forming a new government in Israel, a feud over getting married threatens to further complicate his bid to secure a ruling coaltion.
The Likud party leader was chosen to form a government after a right-wing majority was elected in a Feb. 10 parliamentary election. Netanyahu has been shuttling between factions, trying to cobble together as broad a coalition as possible that will have a better chance of long-term survival.
Foreign Affairs
Israeli newspapers are abuzz this morning as they mull over the possibility that ultranationalist Avigdor Lieberman could be appointed foreign minister in the government that Benjamin Netanyahu is working to stitch together.
The strong showing by Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel our Home) party in last month's election – where it won the third most Knesset seats ahead of the Labour Party - has put the Moldovan-born former nightclub bouncer turned bureaucrat in a strong position in the lobbying for top ministerial posts in the new government.
Team of rivals for Israel?
Coalition-building in the aftermath of Israel's inconclusive Feb. 10 election kicks into high gear on Wednesday, when the final results become official and President Shimon Peres begins sounding out party leaders on whom he should appoint to try to form the next administration.
To recap: neither the centrist Kadima party led by Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni nor Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing Likud won enough seats for a majority in the 120-member parliament. Kadima took 28 seats to Likud's 27, but Netanyahu could stand a better chance of getting the nod from Peres because he is likely to have the support of a majority right-wing bloc of 65 legislators.
Army disappoints Bibi, the battle goes on
"When the soldiers' votes come in, we will be way ahead." So forecast a senior aide to Israeli right-winger Benjamin Netanyahu just after shock exit poll findings on Tuesday showing his Likud party trailing the centrist Kadima of Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni by one seat. But that result, which overturned months of opinion polls in Netanyahu's favour, turned out to be bang on the money. Throughout Thursday, Likud supporters were banking on votes from army barracks. These were being counted a day after those of civilians and Likud had hoped that a traditional right-wing bias in the military would be enough to turn the election around and give Netanyahu the advantage – a crucial one in terms of persuading President Shimon Peres that Netanyahu, not Livni, should be invited to form a government coalition.
It wasn't to be. As the elections committee in parliament finally faced the media, over an hour late, and then flustered through their notes on live television to declare the result, it turned out the initial result still stood. Kadima on 28 votes, Likud on 27 in the 120-seat Knesset. So, it's all over? Not by a long way. The result isn't absolutely final until it's published in the official gazette next Wednesday. And from that point Peres has a week to designate someone to form a government. Livni tried and failed in November, triggering this election. Netanyahu, popularly known by his nickname 'Bibi', says there has been a general rightward shift in the election. That has included a surge for the far-right Yisrael Beiteinu (Our Home is Israel) of Avigdor Lieberman, which elbowed past Labour into third place on 15 seats. That, Netanyahu says, gives him a better chance of forming a stable administration. Perhaps. But in 60 years, Israel's largely ceremonial president has never passed over the leader of the party that has topped the polls. Cue more intensive negotiation. Watch this space.
Israel votes, Palestinians groan
Posted by Wafa Amr.
With each Israeli election since the 1993 historic Palestinian-Israeli interim peace deals, the Palestinians feel their situation has gone from bad to worse. This time, their sense of desperation deepened as they woke up to an Israeli political map strongly dominated by the right wing. People say the chances for peace and ending occupation seem more remote than ever. The editor-in-chief of the Palestinian official al-Hayat daily newspaper, Hafez al-Barghouthi, called the growing strength of the right-wingers in Israel the "Right-wing Tsunami". Israel's shift to the right has added to the Palestinians' sense of hopelessness. "The victory of the Israeli right means an open invitation for the Palestinian factions to turn fanatic to confront the advocates of settlements and land theft," Barghouthi wrote on election day.
Tzipi Livni's centrist Kadima party led in Tuesday's election with 28 seats, one seat over Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing Likud in the 120-member parliament. The centre-left Labour party, which made peace with the Palestinians 16 years ago, suffered a heavy blow. The rise of Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the far-right Yisrael Beiteinu party who has vowed to keep settlements and advocates tougher measures with the Palestinians and Israeli Arabs, has added to the Palestinians' despair.

The nutrient-poor Sargasso Sea was believed to be virtually free of microbial life. "It turned out to be just the opposite," Venter says.
This time, Venter has the Department of Energy on his side. He'll need the help: He plans to catalog all life in the sea by circumnavigating the world in his research yacht and stopping every 200 miles to collect samples. As when he worked on the human genome, Venter is relying on a radical technique called shotgun sequencing: He chops up vast amounts of DNA into tiny pieces and then uses sophisticated computer analyzers to piece them back together into intelligible genes and chromosomes. In this case, however, Venter will be looking not at one organism but at thousands or millions at a time. Making sense of all that information will require vastly more complex computer programs and mathematical techniques.
Department of Energy researchers hope the work will turn up novel microbial chemical reactions that could aid energy production, pollution cleanup, or the manufacture of new drugs. But Venter insists his primary goal is pure discovery. "It's amazing how little we know," he says. "Less than 1 percent of marine microbes have been characterized. We're looking for life on Mars, and we don't even know what's on Earth."

Next time you visit New Orleans come to the Bar Method studio in Covington!! We'd love to have you! :)
I sent an email about Bar Method and I really hope you read it and take it to heart :)
You are a "hot mess" in good way, that's just a figure of speech! You weren't trying very hard at first but you are flexible. I couldn't even reach my leg on bar. When I was in High School years ago, I wasn't feeling it. I had a note when it was time to do gymnastics. (LOL)
Love the Ellen show and now try to be home around 4 each day to catch the show! Was watching today and was watching the Ellie Kemper segment with interest when she talked about the Barre Method. I just finished an Instructor training course for The Booty Barre and think it would be awesome for Ellen to get Tracey Mallett the creator of Booty Barre on her show. Then Ellen can learn more about this awesome workout and why it has become so popular across the nation and world. It really is a very fun but challenging workout that can transform your body in a very short amount of time using these small movements to strengthen and lengthen your muscles. Highly reccomemd asking Tracey to appear asa a future guest - plus she lives in LA!!
Thank you so much,

A cat from was found at the Circus Circus parking lot in Reno, Nevada on August 27, so the Washoe County Animal Control was called to take the cat to the shelter.
Not an unusual occurrence, as Lamorindans know full well, but the story took on a different complexion when the officer scanned the animal and discovered she was from Dublin, California.
The cat, named Ponyo (great picture), is owned by Devon Hayzlett of Dublin. Hayzlett lives in the housing in Dublin.
"She [Ponyo] was found on Monday, August 27 at Circus Circus," Bob Harmon of the Washoe County Sheriff's Office said. "The owner had seen the cat the night before but apparently she hides away and naps in cubbies so they may not have know she was missing for a long time. We think Ponyo rode in the neighbor's car. We are not sure where she was hiding in the car."
Harmon says Ponyo didn't just go to Reno, but that the cat stayed with the car for more than one stop.
"We were told the neighbors stopped for a few hours in Tahoe on the way to Circus Circus in Reno," commented Harmon.
Hayzlett says they did not believe the caller when they called about finding their cat in Nevada.
"We thought at first they were joking and then we started calling friends to figure out how she could get out there," said Hayzlett. "We found out one of our neighbors had gone to Tahoe and Reno. They have the same house we do but one street over. Ponyo often goes to their house and even scratches at their door. We think she crawled under the spare tire area of their car."
According to Harmon, Ponyo was wearing a collar with an identification tag along with being microchipped.
"When we find a pet we post it the 'pet harbor section' on our website," he said. "This case is a good remind to have your pet microchipped. In a situation like this, there would be no way a cat like this would be identified as being from California. Having them chipped could really pay off in the long run as pets sometimes like to roam. Hats off to the Hayzletts for having her identifiable."
Harmon says the cat's owner drove to Reno to pick the cat up the next day on the August 28.
"For the first few days she was pretty skittish but now she is doing much better," said Hayzlett.

Taurus Woman and Sagittarius Man Compatibility
Famous Taurus-Sagittarius Couples: Michelle Pfeiffer and John Malkovich; Michelle Pfeiffer and Fisher Stevens; Barbara Streisand and Don Johnson; Valeria Bertinelli and Steven Spielberg
This combination is a real stretch by any standards. The signs are in quincunx relationship to one another, which means they are in different elements, triplicity, and social orientation. There is a fascination at first followed by intense frustration as the common ground they are seeking never seems to develop.
How to Attract a Sagittarius Man as a Taurus Woman: To attract a Sagittarius man you need to appear to be his pal or traveling companion. He is looking for someone to take along on the journey of life. It will help if you are athletic and adventuresome, as well. Stay positive. Sagittarians are known to turn tail and run from downers or if some who is just too boring or serious.
Hot to Attract a Taurus Woman as a Sagittarius Man: This is going to be a challenge for you. He is looking for someone who is independent, adventuresome, and unlikely to bring him down in any way. If you play a sport, let him know. Do you work out? He'll appreciate that. Been to a foreign country? Squeeze that in the conversation. While it's your strength, he won't really appreciate your practicality. Be funny and keep it light and he may ask you to do something physical with him. And if you hadn't read this, you might not know it was a date.
Degree of Romance: Neither sign is very interested in romance. Sagittarius really prefers the collegial model of friendship and camaraderie. He can be downright embarrassed by gestures of romance and cover his awkwardness by leaving suddenly. Taurus us more interested in a full tummy, a filled larder, and a big fat bank account. Forget the flowers. What she really wants is someone to pay off her credit card.
Degree of Passion: Passion is not a priority for either Sagittarius or Taurus. Sagittarius is a fire sign, but it is transcendental so its passion is for life, or God, or a higher power, not a particular person. In this relationship the energy would best be directed towards activities or projects that make the world a better place. The causes that set your Sagittarian on fire may not be of interest to Taurus. He is looking for someone to accompany him on his Quest while she would prefer to sit on the sofa in socks and a tee and watch t.v.
Degree of Friendship: Sagittarian can be so friendly it's annoying and irritating. She will not understand his openness to other people, the continual conversation with strangers when she thinks they are on the date. This will not leave her feeling very special. And, since she can't compete with his charm, it may bruise her ego, as well, to always be the less popular of the two. Will they be friends? Sure, he's friends with everyone.
Degree of Marriage: This is really unlikely. Unless she is a really unusual type of Taurus that can approach the relationship through her mind more than her senses, or he is the rare Sagittarius who values a homelife, it would be best for these two to leave this as a frolic and always imagine what might have been. If they do make a commitment, it will mean something different to each of them. He will probably never settle down into a routine that will satisfy her.
Progression of Relationship: The progression of this relationship will remain an absolute mystery to Taurus, and might even drive her completely crazy. He has a logic of his own. Here, the Taurus patience is working against the lady bull because she keeps thinking that surely he will soon do what she expects of him, what you would expect of anyone else in his position. But, as anyone who has ever been involved with a Sagittarius knows, they don't like to follow a script.
Sex: This area is likely to be very frustrating for the Taurus. Sagittarius is one of the signs least interested in sex and bulls are known for their insatiable appetite. She may try her "seduce me" act for a while, but eventually will tire of trying to lure him into bed.
When It's Over: Only the Taurus will read this section, so I'll direct my comments to her. When it's over, you'll ask, "Why did I ever do this to myself?" You'll never get out of a relationship with less fuss, but that's because you were never really in one.
Our Rating: 2/10
63 Responses to Taurus Woman and Sagittarius Man Compatibility
this whole description was totally wrong for me. i was the one who always liked to do stuff and he was the couch potato. it was hard for him to keep a job so it was me the taurus lady who had to pay for everything. i dont know why on some of these websites people make it sound like taurus woman are gold digging, lazy, and crazy. thats bullshit!
This was "very" accurate, of course not on the dot but I've been on & off with a Sagittarius for 6 years. This so called affair never added up nor did it ever fall apart..it just kept going. I even was okay with him living with his ex-wife in the same home for years because of his obligation, I somehow understood. Well, it kept going until he suddenly decided to leave after an argument and never look back. He was paying too much attention to a bartender one night when we were out. I do, just want to feel special and the "only" one in his eyes but that night it didn't go the way. Tons of flirting, back & forth but not with me….I just wanted to vomit or at least leave. Anyways, he never has told me he loved me only that he "really" cares for me. Did I mention he is a great talker and can negotiate deals with ease. Recently, he came into my life again after a 5 month break…from me I suppose. But I did see how other men with different signs are drawn to the Taurus. I'm independent, athletic and can change from handy girl to a black dress in an hour. I would never ask for money from him but I do appreciate gifts, although he has never bought me anything but perfume,once. My credit card would be great!…but too far fetch for me…lol. After reading this article, I know he isn't or was never for me. We frolic and play but in most part will just be friends. I do need to find my cozy partner in life and I know the Sagittarius isn't for me.
I've read alot of bs about my Taurus sign but this is just ridiculous! I am in a relationship with a sag, & none of this applies to us. Not one bit. I agree with Victoria. These sites tend to have something against Taurus people in general & try to make us look like horrible people. Between Taurus & Gemini, I don't know who gets bashed worst!! At the end of the day, your sign will not make nor break a relationship. So many factors determines how a person acts such as how they were raised, past experiences etc… Overall, I don't think the Taurus & Sag match is the best out of the bundle, but it sure isn't what these "writers" make it seem. Smdh…
Hi all, I 'm a 44 year old sag man who has fallen for a taurian woman big time, we've been going out for 2 weeks, she's gone away on holiday for 2'5 weeks through work, and i'm missing her like crazy, i used to be one for all the glamour and nights out etc, but now with my girlfriend i just want to settle down and be happy and content. I find these comments very frustrating, due to the serious chats, hopes and dreams we share, my girlfriend is 3 years older than me and has been married twice before, i on the other hand have never wed, although i respect and understand your views from your research, surely i cannot let this tarnish my future with this wonderful woman.
Having recently split up with a Sagittarian man, I couldn't believe how accurate this was, especially the part at the end about when it's over. We've been split up three weeks and I've not heard a peep out of him, I really can't believe I put myself through that! Thanks for helping me see it wasn't meant to be!
this is very accurate. I went through hell with a sag. he put me through the worst. and I did ask myself many times, why I ever fell for him.
Im a Taurus woman on and off with a Sag man @ the moment it's a little rocky but not at all what the passage states, i agree its all about how you were raised as well as past relationships…indeed both parties have to be strong enough to put them behind you if not no relationship no matter what sign it is will last…no one has time for bs, at the end of each relationship not matter what one day you just have to let go (moving forward with life,going backwards to a old relationship,or even passing over it still fades…
not all quite true. i wasnt that possessive but he is irresponsible and have a peter pan syndrome. doesnt have patience, if he wants to get out of the relationship. he simply cuts it off and move on to the next. i dont care if hes friend with anyone or flirts with anyone as long as he values the relationship. I give the freedom he needs but sometimes he hurts my feelings because as time goes by, he sees me as his pal and not a woman he cherishes. Im afraid when as time goes by theres no sparks for us anymore but only friendship. for me friends and lovers are not quite the same. for him its rather somewhat equal. but he is a funny clown in my life.. we broke off and when i finally decided to remain friends, he's cold. we better as friends no pressure and no hurt feelings. but somewhat it seems like he doesnt want to be good friends., he still attacking me with his cold and distant pressuring with tension gestures i cant understand. sagittarius man is very confusing interesting individuals that can make you insane.
the sex part for the Sagittarius and taurus was so wrong. the bull and half man half horse would have a great exploding time. lol
Met my Sag man when we were teens, dated thru early 20′s, went our separate ways & now in touch again 30 yrs later. Both now in our mid-50′s, lots of water under lots of bridges–neither of us now who we were in our 20′s, THANK GOODNESS! Time + experiences equals WISDOM: fellow Bulls, people are NOT **possessions**. Hard lessons learned are never forgotten–I wrote the book & gave my OWN self an autographed copy!
My Sag is intelligent, hard-working, responsible, kind & generous–always was, even when we were kids. He loves me with his entire heart & soul, always did, and I couldn't POSSIBLY love him more deeply than I do! Time & space allowed us to grow. The wonderful gift of the Universe has brought us back together. Whatever lies ahead & wherever life takes us, we'll face it hand in hand.
2/10 seems legitimate, Sagittarius man who spent time, effort, money, etc for something that wasn't worth anything. All the Taurus woman wants is money, and someone who is willing to spend that money on them. No affection, no bonding, nothing but you spending money on her. They're soooooooo selfish it makes me sick, they play so many mind games it drives me nuts, they lie so much it makes me want to throw a tantrum that Sagittarius' are known to have locked up underneath our fun/optimistic attitude. For the best, Sagittarius and Taurus people out there: Keep it moving.
I have been with taurus women, I love her like crazy, but she thinks this trait of my as weakness. I never fully understood what taurus women want, but well, I feel offended when someone doesn't care to care when we really do. I don't understand this really, but surely love her. Amen.

As Tim Garrett reflected on his time in Leadership Duncan Class XVII, Garrett referred to each of his fellow graduates as billboards for the Duncan community.
He acknowledged that his billboard, toting the positives of the community, had changed, much like the rest of the Leadership Duncan Class.
Garrett was one of 21 Class XVII members to graduate from the Leadership Duncan program Tuesday, following nine months of community awareness programs and various social interactions.
"Our billboards have changed over the last 273 days," Garrett said. "We didn't know about all the hidden gems in our community."
The Leadership Duncan Class, which is a product of the Duncan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, featured leaders from around the City of Duncan. Throughout the class, the members worked together to better understand the strengths of the community and to improve in their leadership skills.
While Garrett was in charge of leading a class reflection during the graduation ceremony, fellow Class XVII member Susan Nutt talked about the class project, which is a featured part of the Leadership Duncan program.
The class project will be a golf tournament, which will help raise funds to give to Women's Haven. The tournament is set for Sept. 27 at the Duncan Golf and Tennis Club.
"Abuse is so prevalent in the community and the world because of drugs and alcohol," Nutt said. "Women's Haven is committed to empowering victims."
For this graduating class, the key note speaker was Dr. Ché Miller, who is a graduate of Leadership Duncan Class XV. Miller talked about what it takes to be a leader.
"There are thousands of books on how to be a great leader," Miller said. "But there aren't many books on where to lead people."
Miller touched on several well known leaders who have chosen to lead their people in differing directions. One was Adolph Hitler, who used his skills to lead people to do things they might not have done otherwise.
"Another example was Abraham Lincoln," he said. "He was defeated eight times for president. But when he got in there, he saw where his people needed to go."
As Miller wrapped his keynote speech, he referred back to his earlier statement about leadership books.
"The answer to where you lead people lies in your own skills," Miller said. "If you want to be a great leader now, take people where they need to go."
Laura Goldring, a Class XIV graduate, assigned a leadership trait to each of the graduates to let them know at least one of their strongest leadership skills.
These included:
- The Rev. Anita Slovak — Compassionate.
- Temio Ibarra — Humble.
- Bryan Pain — Analytical.
- Cathy Hokit — Confidence.
- Cydni Crook — Responsive.

Pros – They have multiple locations across the country for relocation. They have multiple divisions that offer additional opportunities, if qualified. They do pay for relocation expenses depending on the position. Also had sign on bonus for certain positions and locations.
Cons – Just remember "Off the record" conversation/information is not "off the record". Loyalty/support is a one-way street. Everything is black and white and there are no exceptions.

Current_Issue.tar.gz - Issue Number 11001000!
That's binary for 200, of course. I mean, sure, we've been around for a long time, but not since 914,740 BC! Back then, the latest technology was "Wheel 2.0: Round Edition", and although it was great at the time, it was a hard sell on newsstands—especially since newsstands hadn't been invented yet.
This is an exciting issue, and we thought it would be great to include our readers in it as much as possible. If you check out the UpFront section, you'll see a couple articles that are reader contributions. We've got a list of 200 things you like to do with Linux and some reader profiles for you as well. Do you ever wonder who else is a Linux Journal fan? Now you can meet a bunch of them!
This is also our annual Readers' Choice issue, where you all vote on your favorite applications, gadgets, columns and so on. To find where you skew along the average readership line, be sure to read the results. A few of them surprised us.
Sure, all this reader contribution is great, but to be honest, we didn't want to be outsourced completely. So we included a hearty helping of articles as well. Reuven M. Lerner reminisces about the early years of Web development and guides us through its progression. Some things certainly have changed, and some things really haven't! Add to that Dave Taylor's column on creating your own turn-by-turn directions from the command line, and you've got a bunch of programming information in just two articles.
Mick Bauer is back this month with the next part in his series on transparent firewalls. Firewalls obviously are great for security and protecting your network from snoops. Kyle Rankin is probably happy about that, as he might get teased if anyone snooped in and saw his pretty pink server. He says it's part of his beer-making rig, but all we can see is pink. Check out his Hack and / column and decide for yourself.
If you'd rather celebrate the 200th issue by buying tech toys, we totally understand. In fact, we have some great reviews on products we'd like to own ourselves. The ZOTAC ZBOX, reviewed by Steven Evatt, is a tiny little computer designed for (or at least often repurposed for) making home entertainment computers. With its onboard ION chipset, it packs a punch in its tiny enclosure. Bill Childers reviews the Barnes & Noble's Nook. Bill and I both bought one of these Linux-based devices at about the same time. He loves his, and I hated mine. Check out his review to see where you stand on the highly hackable e-reader.
If all that seems a bit too fluffy for your technology taste, you might just love Alejandro Segovia's in-depth piece on parallel computing with NVIDIA's CUDA technology. Video cards are great for gaming, but it's amazing how powerful they can be when you use them for straight up mathematical processing. Alejandro shows how to take advantage of the little powerhouse sitting inside your computer case.
Video editing in Linux is a really hot topic, especially with everyone desiring to upload the next great viral video to YouTube. Several great video editors exist, and although they all are good at what they do, each one seems lacking in one area or another. Canonical has decided to put its faith in PiTiVi, a simple video editor installed by default in new Ubuntu systems. As with any video editing software, PiTiVi has a learning curve. Jono Bacon shows us how to get started quickly with PiTiVi, and he demonstrates that although it may not be the most complex video editor available, it's very usable.
We always argue here at Linux Journal about which issue is our favorite. For some of us it's the Cool Projects issue; others prefer the Web Development issue. One thing we can all agree on is that the Readers' Choice issue is always fun. Even Bill Childers and Kyle Rankin get along fairly well in this month's Point/Counterpoint column. Of course, they tend to argue with the readers this time, so I'm not sure it counts as peaceful. (And for the record, I'm with the readers. Pidgin is an awesome IRC client, no matter what Bill and Kyle say!)
So whether you frame this issue of Linux Journal because you're in one of the UpFront pieces or roll it up to swat a fly before reading it, we hope you enjoy the 200th issue. Hopefully, we'll be talking about world domination 200 issues from now, but until then, we hope you all party like it's 914,740 BC!

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

What is RSS?
Last updated at 22:39, Monday, 04 February 2008
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is a service that delivers to you the latest news headlines, saving you the time and trouble of having to click from one area to another to get what you want.
For example, if you're a Carlisle United fan and all you want is to read the latest United headlines, you could use RSS to give you the Carlisle headlines.
How do I start using it?
First of all, you need a news reader. Though they all largely do the same thing, there are a lot of different ones available and you can either use them through your browser or via a downloadable application. They all allow you to subscribe to the RSS feeds you want.
Different readers work for different operating systems, so check that the one you choose is suitable before you download it.
Some different readers include:
- NewzCrawler
- FeedDemon
- Awasu
- Mac OS X
- Newsfire
- NetNews
- My Yahoo!
- NewsGator
Once you have decided on your reader, the next step is to decide what content you want. For example, if you want the latest news stories, visit the main news section and you will see an orange button on the left hand side.
By clicking on the button, you can subscribe to the feed in a number of different ways, including copying and pasting the URL directly into the news reader.
Some internet browsers, such as Firefox, Opera and Safari, can automatically get the latest RSS feeds for you. Check the appropriate website for more details.
Using RSS feeds on your site
The use of our RSS feeds as part of a website is encouraged, subject to our terms and conditions. We do not accept any liability for our RSS feeds.
Terms and conditions
1.1. You must create a functional link back to the story(ies) summarised by the content.
1.2. You may not directly or indirectly change, edit, add to or produce summaries of the content or any content on our website or place any full-story newspaper content in an HTML frame-set.

I'm 19 years old freeskier and I live at the moment in Kuusamo Finland. I am studying in skiing academy which is located near to one of the best parks in Finland so I have really good training environment around me. I started skiing when I was three years old and I did ski racing until age of 13. While i was a racer i already used to hang out in park and pipe and after I quit racing I have been completely focused to freeskiing. I started competing in the age of 14. My goal was already then to get in to the top of freeskiing circuit and win few major competitions and to be able to film and get segment in to major film company's movie and that's what I'm still aiming for. So far things have turned out pretty fine and here is some competition results and media coverage from last two years.

1985 Fairport grad and renowned actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in New York City today of an apparent heroin overdose. For my part, I guess I was totally unprepared for such news given his profound acting performances. Kids, work hard, do the best you can at all times, and know that drugs will kill you.
Fairport/Perinton Blog
The opinions and information in these blogs are from the bloggers, who are not employees of the Democrat and Chronicle. | More blogs at the Democrat and Chronicle
East side churchgoers and train riders
A couple of points today.
A letter was published in today's print edition from a writer from East Rochester, and since there is no ER blogger, I'll respond as the blogger from a neighboring town. The writer advises local Roman Catholics who disagree with the new bishop's direction to "go peacefully". This is a general shot at "menu" Catholics and a barely veiled shot at the retired Bishop Clark. I wonder if Bishop Matano wants his flock to take such a "my way or the highway" position. The writer's problem is that she thinks someone who leaves the RC church goes, well, nowhere, i.e., that one is either RC (and on the path to salvation) or not RC. In fact, there are many productive paths outside the church, inspired divinely or otherwise.
Secondly, the USA Today insert in today's print edition points out that the federal budget bill provides no funding for high speed rail. As expensive as it is, I would love to be able to bop over to Buffalo for dinner. A train station on the east side would be cool, too.
MCWA rescues Perinton customers
I woke up at 5:30 on Friday morning, not quite sure why, but I heard the sound of the water pipes when no water should have been running. So there I was in my bathrobe, running around the house and basement trying to figure it out. I went back to bed for a bit, wondering if I would miss a day of work over some watery disaster, and did not get back to sleep. I showered without trouble a little after 6, then dressed to shovel the driveway. This was the day the polar vortex finally broke, but we got some snow during the night. I took a walk around the house, looking for a gushing faucet, but nada.
I use one of those angled shovels when there is just an inch or two of snow, so I pushed a path straight down to the street, and finally found the source of the noise. The supply line to the fire hydrant in my neighbors' yard had busted open underground. Water was gushing up into the street and back down into the storm drain. I called MCWA, but a crew had already been notified.
My lovely wife was home for the day and did not get the benefit of a shower until about 4 PM. No fun for her, but the brutal code and quick thaw probably popped a few pipes around town, so I'm impressed at the work the crew accomplished over a few hours.
One more Friday-ish comment. I have been trying fish fries around Rochester for years, looking for the great ones. They're all different and I suspect we all have our individual preferences. Take-out dinners can be so-so in their foam containers by the time you get them home. However, I was very pleased with my dinner from Polska Chata (32 Vinedale Ave. in Rochester, off Ridge near Culver), complete with pierogi. Lovely wife had the galabki (cabbage rolls). Commercial galabki tend to overdo the rice and other fillers, and underdo the meat, so I'm glad I had the fish.
Perinton webcams capture first seconds of the new year
The Internet almost allows us to be in other places while actually in the comfort of our own homes. Several cameras publish images of Fairport to the web.
The newest local cams are at the Fairport Brewing Company on the corner of Main and Church. I saw someone working on New Year's Day, but they were closed for business.
We find images of the Erie Canal. This uses camera control software, so you can play around, although I haven't installed it myself.
Assumption Church in the village has been offereing live, streamed images of its sanctuary for some years. I'd love to do this at my church or my home, but it requires specialized onsite equipment and Internet services and ongoing maintenance, and I'm reluctant to make the time investments. The financial cost is not exorbitant, but that's always a consideration when one has just completed a kitchen renovation project.
My own webcam was on duty this morning and captured the first seconds of the new year. That's my driveway, pole lamp and front yard. There's not normally much to see at midnight. My setup includes a Lorex camera with night-vision that connects to my PC, which uploads an image for each minute of the day.
Pledging publicly in Perinton
I had occasion to pick up some chicken breasts at Skip's on Saturday. While driving away from Village Landing I took a few random car turns, looking for some local site that might trigger an idea for a blog post. Well, it's pretty tough to find fault with a photo of an American flag flying over a school. [We bloggers have had some trouble attaching photos to posts, so it might take a while for the photo to appear.]
I am not called to recite the Pledge of Allegiance very often these days. It's not something we do at work or church or the acoustic coffeehouse. We sing the national anthem at sporting events, and certain government meetings start with the Pledge, but everyday adult events do not typically involve the Pledge. The Pledge is still typically recited by students at public schools every day.
There remains some controversy over the recitation of the Pledge. The Supreme Court ruled in 1943 that no one can be compelled to recite the Pledge. The original complaints were concerned with idolatry of the Flag above God. I can't say I recall ever experiencing an obvious refusal to recite the Pledge in a public setting. The addition of "under God" in the 1950s stoked additional resentment over the years, but even so, I have not personally experienced a public refusal.
The nice thing about the Pledge is that the rules are so clear. In the case of the national anthem, someone is always complaining about the way people sing or hold their hats or whatever, but we hear few complaints about reciters of the Pledge. When the Pledge is recited, everyone has been taught exactly how to stand and speak, and in my experience, they do.
These days, it seems more common to promote new traditions of public pledges rather than to complain about old ones. For example, atheists ask for equal space in displaying non-religious artifacts in public places where religious artifacts (Nativity scenes, for example) are displayed. A few years ago it was more common for dissenters to try to have the religious displays banned. I am not convinced that such displays have much impact either way. A Nativity scene doesn't make a Christian passersby "more" Christian, and likely does not convert non-Christians. As a practicing Christian, I do not feel a need to promote the display of religious images in public places, such as the "Ten Commandments" at a courthouse. I'm just saying I also don't think such displays change the outcomes of public proceedings.
Ultimately, I kind of miss saying the Pledge. Of course, I could recite in front of the flag that flies in front of my own house, or I could attend town meetings, but my point is that public Pledge recitations are rare moments when everyone just quietly gets along.
What's new this Christmas?
First off, I'm already tired of winter. The windows of my unheated three-season room develop frosty white lines when the temperature drops below 10 degrees or so. Pretty, but indicating the brutal cold. It's just too early in the season for multiple days with this sort of cold.
But, another Christmas we have survived. Every Christmas season offers its traditions and revolutions. I was struck this year by the intense retailer onslaught. Stores are open ever more hours with ever more "doorbusting" opportunities. Reports are, however, that online sales grew and in-store sales were flat. The "Saturday Night Live" joke was that Toys-R-Us promised to stay open for 87 straight hours, while the Internet is open all the time, forever. Whatever "it" is, I can have it shipped to my door in two days.
And, I was struck this Christmas season by the way every Christmas brings the generations together. The new fangled lifestyles of the young cannot be passed off as fads when we see at dinner and around the tree that the new drowns out the old. There is no start or end, just the great cycle. The grandparents who taught the family traditions are gone, and the parents are becoming spectators as the children take over the work of planning and gifting and driving and cooking and cleaning. Somehow, using a networking technology that has not yet been invented, the kids' kids will continue the cycle.
The greatest tradition is in trying to maintain the traditions. The joy is in the struggle.
Dodging ice storms in Perinton
Perinton dodged serious effects from an ice storm a few days ago that especially impacted the North Country, and the New York State outage map still shows a few hundred NYSEG customers without power. The local "big one", back in '91, had almost no effect on the Perinton house I owned at that time, but I have since moved within Perinton to a house that would likely suffer greater consequences. For the most part, it's about trees and overhead lines, although truly major natural disasters can also cause trouble at generation sites. My lovely wife and I got an estimate for a natural gas, whole-house generator, but due to planned kitchen renovations (now complete) we put off the generator (and it will still be a while before we can afford it).
Wikipedia offers a list of major ice storms , which I suppose confirms my suspicion that the typical snow belt resident thinks about ice storms, even when not in the middle of one. Freezing rain causes an "ice storm" when the (predicted) ice accumulation surpasses a quarter inch. In the USA, this is largely a northeastern weather phenomenon. Although I believe that human activity affects our climate, it's impossible to say with certainty whether ice storms will be more or less likely in the future. I don't really remember ice storms growing up (some decades ago) in central New York, and I do remember blizzards, but that's anecdotal. Studies show the raindrops don't freeze immediately on wires and branches, but a thin film of water freezes as rain drops off the surfaces, and the ice layer gradually builds. Just saying.
During a storm, stay inside to avoid falling branches and car accidents. During extended power failures, don't heat interior spaces with appliances not intended for indoor heating. For example, don't attempt to heat with gas burner flames and don't run gas generators indoors because they create carbon monoxide exhaust fumes. Stay safe.
Why does the governor focus on property tax reductions?
This is not strictly limited to the east side, but I've been trying to blog more, so let's strike while the iron is hot with a topic that affects us. Saturday's D&C includes an article about New York State plans to encourage property tax limitations by local governments. But, encouragement costs money. Why maintain high state income tax rates so that taxpayers can be reimbursed for local taxes if their local entities rein in spending? If the state has money to give away, why not just lower my income taxes and let me keep the money in the first place, and let local people deal with local issues? It's an extension of STAR-like programs already in place, which clearly save me money, but by redistributing money rather than letting me keep it in the first place.
It is difficult to imagine that this isn't just a political ploy to eventually send me a check that makes current officials look good at re-election time.
Fairport area contractors, and the cars are in the garage
The flooring materials arrived in May and were piled in the garage. That's when my car was banished to the driveway. In June, the appliances were delivered and my lovely wife's lovely car was banished. These deliveries were partly scheduled according to discount and rebate offers, knowing unfortunately that the actual renovation project could not start until later. But that was delayed farther than expected, and the demolition didn't start until mid-October. After a few weeks, all the materials and appliances were installed, but even after having rented a dumpster, the garage was still full of junk.
Then, this harsh winter descended upon us earlier than usual, with the cars still outside. Many of you park outside all the time, but indoor parking is easy to get used to and hard to give up. Today the junk pile had been reduced enough that the remainder could be piled outside, and wonder of wonders, both cars are parked in the garage, with enough room for the snowblower when the doors are closed.
Shouts out to a couple local vendors, Mack of All Trades ( http://www.mackofalltrades.net, plumbing and electric ) and Probech Construction ( floor installation, vent runs, 585-880-5027 ).
Gary Gocek grew up in Liverpool (central NY) and attended RIT (BS in CS). He has lived in or around Fairport for over 20 years. Gary now lives west of the village of Fairport with his wife, two cats and two guitars. He has two young-adult sons who graduated from FHS.
Gary works as a software developer and enjoys his family, music, ethnic heritage activities, church activities and DVDs-by-mail. He maintains family and other websites. After 9/11, he became a news junkie, gathering news from the D&C, TV, radio and the Internet. Gary says blogging is a natural extension, and for the D&C he hopes to "mix typical diary-like blog entries with humorous posts and comments on local politics."

This is only for the rest of this month...and then next month she will get to spend more time and then in May she will get every other week-end...so that will be great for all of us then.
I am quite worried that she is not in school and this bothers me a lot...I am worried that she will get behind and have to repeat the 3rd grade over.
OK...so I had a great week-end....I am a bit tired but seeing my granddaughter was worth every bite of what I experienced.
Here is hoping each of you had a good Saturday as well. The temp was great here....almost like a nice spring day...and yes...I know that spring is now just a few days away....I am so looking forward to some nice warm weather with some warm sunshine to soak in. Sunshine is good for the mind as well as the body.....getting that natural Vitamin D....that so many of us need.
Welcome to the new members who have joined our FM support group....I am sure that soon each of you will find the right combination of tools and tips that will help you cope better with the wrath of the dragon, aka FM. So hang in here with us...ask questions as we have some FMers here who will share what they have been through on this journey that we each face every day.
Vitamin D...this is my favorite thing to encourage everyone about....I know that this made a BIG difference for me...and from what I had read this is important to a lot of people these days...and not just though of us who dance or drag the dragon...it is a simple blood test BUT you must ASK the doctor to run it as it is not included in the normal bloodwork that the doctors do.
I hope the new members will indeed check out the Website here...as you will find some good info...be sure and review the *tips* and *resources* as well as the *member toolbox*.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Have a good day.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..

NOW CRAP***** It snowed here in NY like the dickens and you are in the nice weather and i am still gettting a Canadian gift!
It is 23* right now and I am ready for better then that!
Those of you who have gotten to know me, know i have a problem saying "NO I can't do that......well now I am involved at work to the tune of 12 hours days and was given the leadership role to set up the new Urologist that joined our cardiology group....(don't ask me how we ended up at the other end of the patient). It is exciting but I am exhausted. The work is BRAIN not BRAUN and that is good, but I am short circuiting in all on my plate.
Now I heard yesterday after working on Saturday...that one of the nurses took another job and is leaving....just when I was pulling myself out of Clinical to *do this new adventure.
I thought with this disease i couldn't learn anything anymore...that forgetfulness and fog (which is not too pronounced with me) would be a down fall But the "major distraction of this is really amazing. I STILL HAVE IT.
Construction is done but the body is saying don't do anything right now with all the other things going on in my life.....so I still sit in MUCK and disarray!!
The closets are perfect and all this will be right...soon.
Well, God bless my meds..medical and non...to help me through this busy time. It will be months before I slow down, so if I am gone.....don't worry I am doing something BIG....
I will check in on Sundays as it is a day of REST for me. I lost my Monday (me day)also...This Doctor operates on Mondays and needs a nurse with him then too.....so I have to go for shots and then go to his side after! Like I said...I can't say no*.
Learning something new is a great thing (though i told him i am over qualified for this job...but he makes it "so alive" and he LOVES what he does it is infectious for me..as I love what i do..we melded right away!! I think it was when I hugged a patient of his when we saw he didn't have bladder cancer again on recheck......(the patient came back for a second hug! and the doc just lit up...) OK...off to the ITALIAN ST. PATS PARTY...they can be more IRISH then the Irish!! Ha!
Hugs to all, Nancy B
So sad that you also lost your *me day*...which is really important for us FMers to have some rest and do something good for ourselves.
I do hope you will update us when you can on how things are going with you. We appreciate all of the good info that you share with everyone.
Sounds like the doctor is a *keeper*... and I think he realizes just how *lucky he is to have you as well*...which is a very good thing...it is always good to be appreciated for the work that you do.
Hang in there and keep in touch. Know that we will always be here...(or so I hope?) I think no one really knows what may or may not happen anymore.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
MiMi, I am so happy for you!! You have a wonderful group of grand kids there. I smiled when I saw the picture and my heart is so happy for you and your family.
Nancy, OMG your are so busy! I admire your energy! Your home remodeling project sounds wonderful. What I wouldn't do for bigger closets, but theres just no way to enlarge ours.
Sorry about the snow. Would send you our temps and sunshines if I could, but it's not gonna last as we are getting more cold ( gifts from Canada ) this week.
LIke I said it's going to be a nice warm sunny day here and I am going to enjoy the heck out of it! It was a wonderful 'spring' day yesterday day up to 76. A true sign of things to come, NOT just yet. I am going to be so happy to not have to talk about cold or snow. Yippee. But knowing it's not going to be eveyday DH and I will have to keep an eye on the weather forcasts to make sure we have the plants covered or inside on the colder night.. they are saying 28 and 30 some nights this coing week. UGH.
I am aching this a.m. I guess I did one thing or lifited one thing to many @ last night's dinner. All in all it was a nice affair and my DH was one of the people out there in the dinning hall having a meal while I was dashing around serving or cleaning up. Catering is a lot of work sometimes, depending on what is being served, or self served. I do the set up, serving and clean up with a crew of maybe 6. Last night it was just the 3 of us serving 100. Doesn't sound like a lot but boy it was.We had three tables of food or drinks to set up and keep filled and last night we were running.
I've told my BBF for years that it's not worth it with the work being so hard and food and gas prices going up everyday, but she likes to it so I tag along, but last night she said she is really thinking of closing down her catering business. She's had it open for nearly 20 years and I've been with her from the start. But she's getting her PH.D next month and wants to move on to other things. She also teaches @ one of our local universities. Her closing the business, if she does, for me, this would be a good thing too, lol, like I told her last night, I'm getting too old for this heavy kitchen work! She has one more luncheon next month to do and then I think we're done. I'd like to try maybe doing somepart time subbing, I've said this before and haven't done it, as I am just one class shy of a Masters In Education.
Well I guess I should get myself up from here and get out and enjoy the beautiful day. Heres wishing each of you a Grand St. Pat's Day. MAY THE LUCK OF THE IRSH BE YOURS.
Gentle hugs, Linda R
Anyway...my granddaughter had such a good time...she was able to meet her younger cousin and I think they had fun...they were out in the yard for a while...as it was really very nice temps for them to enjoy.
I do know that my younger grandson got upset since they were playing a game that he is not allowed to play...and it made him sad...we are going to have to find a good *fix* for this though...as I want them all to have fun and not be upset with anyone...2 is good and 3 is an odd number...I now this from very personal experience...(since I had 3 of my own)...it is always the 3rd person is the odd man out...regardless...not a good thing for 3 children...as someone will always have issues.
Perhaps this is why I had hoped to have 6 children...do not really know...but there must have been some sort of reason. Funny how we adults learn along the way in life...too little, too late though for some things.
Linda...I can not even imagine how you can manage to do heavy work. I have issues doing just the light things that must be done. I use to be able to do so much more...but I no longer have the energy or the strength.
I bought my grandchildren the shirts in their picture for St. Patricks Day....I was so glad that my daughter made pictures of them. My world and family are now complete...in such a good way. I will be happier when my granddaughter has the entire week-end to stay...and I know she will be also.
I hope you can rest today Linda...take care and enjoy the Sunday.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
We are going to my brother's this afternoon so my DW can hold our new nephew Holden. She was sick when he was born so she is itching for the chance to hold him. He is just under 7lbs now, just a little guy.
We have yet another storm coming. My body is pretty well locked up today. I woke to a mere 8 degrees. It's a good day to study my books. I'm almost done.
Mimi, geat picture of happy faces!
Good luck Nancy B. I am jelous of your closets. People must not have had many things when my house was built because I have 2, that's it. We have to be creative with storage.
Linda R, my sister did a lot of catering. I don't think she ever made money at it. It is a ton of work and a difficult job. It would be good if you can move on from that task.
Here is hoping that you all have a fgreat day. Take care everyone.
If money is the problem, borrow. If time is the problem, give up something (catering?) just for now. If it is the FM that is keeping you back, just don't let it.
I don't know what the license rules are where you are, but here in NY I had 5 years to get 3 years of experience and my masters degree or I lost my provisional certification. On top of that, we make more money for every graduate credit we earn.
And Linda, as hard a worker as you are, you need a little bit of tangible proof that you followed through and completed a goal.
Let us know when we can salute a new Master of Science.
And I am so happy for you. It's been a long and hard journey MiMi to get your grand daugher back in your arms and I am just over the moon happy for you.
Gentle hugs, Linda R
Gentle hugs, Linda R.
Because, NO I don't have to get that Masters! And FYI I was not working on one in Science! And I don't need or care to borrow money for more paid education. If I had wanted the sense of accomplishment I would have finished the Masters program back in the day.
I don't need anyone, well intentioned or not to " cheer lead " me back. So I wasn't worried about time passing when I left the Master's program 20 years ago I'm sure NOT concerned about it now!
And, again, since you don't know me you have no idea of what kind of worker I am! I could be just average.. you don't know me so you have no idea. And you should have assumed that it was Fibro that has kept me from getting my Masters.. you don't even have a clue as to how old I am.
And I help my BBF because I was the one who talked her into opening the business 20 years ago. I owe her to be there when she needs me. I dont' need the money!
So please think twice before you answer my posts again.
Linda R

By KEVIN HARRIS
Silver Creek starting pitcher Lucas Barnett came very close to pitching the first no-hitter in his high school career on Tuesday evening at Memorial Field.
Still, the Dragons' senior right-hander tossed one of the best gems in the Clark-Floyd area in the 2013 season.
Barnett threw a stellar two-hit shutout to lead Class 3A No. 5 Silver Creek past Class 2A No. 7 Providence, 6-0.
"I just tried to attack them with a first-pitch strike, and then from that point on locate the fastball and get ahead," Barnett said. "I tried to set them up with a breaking ball or keep the ball low so they can ground out."
Barnett struck out eight and walked none and did a great job of mixing his pitches and hitting spots with his fastball. Six of the eight Pioneers he fanned struck out looking. Barnett only worked the count to three balls against two Providence batters. Those were the final two hitters of the game.
"It was definitely Lucas' day. He pitched an outstanding game," Pioneers' coach Scott Hornung said. "He threw so many strikes. He kept pounding the strike zone with multiple pitches. He just dominated us today off the mound.
"He deserved that win for sure today. He pitched well."
The Pioneers (11-4) grounded out 11 times against Barnett, and they hit only four balls out of the infield. Silver Creek's defense committed no errors.
"He located well and he got ahead of hitters," Dragons' coach Joe Decker said. "The biggest thing he did was he threw for contact. He didn't try to strike everybody out. He was just working on throwing strikes early and did not get behind hitters, and that was the biggest difference. He kept the ball down and when they saw a fastball, they were just kind of waving at it and put it in play."
Barnett had a perfect game until the bottom of the sixth inning. With two out, Providence's No. 9 hitter, Drew Campbell, hit a single to center field to end Barnett's perfect-game bid. Barnett rebounded by forcing Ben Shahroudi to ground out to the pitcher to end the frame.
Before Campbell's base hit, Barnett said he got distracted by a fan who recognized his perfect-game bid.
"I heard someone in the stands yell, 'There's a no-hitter,'" Barnett said. "I didn't really realize it. I was just going out, pitching and having fun. But when he said it, I said, 'Holy [cow] — I've got a no-hitter going.' Then I threw a fastball down the middle and he hit it right back at me."
In the bottom of the seventh, Barnett gave up a two-out double to shallow left by Providence clean-up batter Justin Starr. The next batter, Tyler Simms, ended the game by flying out to center.
"I was getting tired, but it was not something I've been through before," said Barnett, whose record improved to 4-2.
Silver Creek's first run came in the second inning. With runners on first and second base with two out, Providence committed an error on a Drew Sherrow grounder to allow Brayden Ware to score from second.
The Dragons (14-3) went up 2-0 in the top of the fourth. Ware smacked an RBI single to center off Pioneer starter Andrew Hunt to plate Shae Durham from second.
Silver Creek tacked on another score in the fifth to go up three runs. After the Dragons' Layne Taylor and Jamie Valvano executed a double steal, Taylor scored from third with one out on a 1-1 wild pitch by Hunt, who this week signed his letter-of-intent to play baseball at Bellarmine beginning next season.
Silver Creek put the game away in the sixth with three runs. Pinch-runner Shawn Pezullo came home on a fielder's choice from third. Then Valvano collected a two-out double to left-center to knock in Cody Razer and Taylor.
The Dragons were aggressive on the basepaths throughout the game, as they had eight stolen bases. Six of the eight steals came against Hunt, who was pulled for reliever Ryan Mueller prior to the top of the sixth.
"I thought our guys did a good job of reading [Hunt's pickoff move], and we did a good job with situational running," Decker said.
Two Dragons had a multihit game. Valvano went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and two stolen bases. Ware was 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base. Taylor scored twice and stole two bases.
"Today, we were better," Decker said. "Over the past two weeks, I didn't think we played very well at all. Even the games we won, we didn't play well. Today was our best effort by far. There was a lot more focus and a lot more hustle."
Hunt pitched five innings in picking up his third loss of the season. He gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits, striking out six and walking two.
"His day was good. I mean he pitched well," Hornung said. "Unfortunately, the run in the second was a bad-hop error. I thought his performance was good today. They just kept nit-picking and nit-picking and getting runners here and there and then stealing bases. They really stole bases on us tonight and gave us a hard time there. But I thought he pitched well."
Silver Creek will visit North Harrison on Thursday for a crucial Mid-Southern Conference game. Providence travels to Madison today.

found this website by accident and im really glad that i did. ive been reading a lot from the archives ..
a bit about me: ive been working out for 2-3 years but havent gained any mass - i have gained strength though (not too much) im 5'9, 145 lbs and can bp 185 lbs. so thats pretty ordinary.
most of my focus during the last three years has been to not get fat .. i gain weight in my tummy, face very easily - ive been training for marathons (recently ran the chicago '03) which has kept my weight down. ive been doing abwork too and have some definition down there.
however, i want to gain some serious muscle and trust me ive tried everything: creatine, protein bars, shakes, ive read magazines but i just cant gain mass at all. i dont have good genes so i know i need to work really really hard, but how hard? i have no clue what to do ..
if i eat a lot, i gain weight in the wrong areas .. if i dont eat, i stay skinny. anybody with any suggestions on how to get started? maybe i should have sessions with a personal trainer?
Go there. Track your progress for a couple weeks. If you aren't gaining any weight. Increase your calories. When you learn how you eat, you learn how to grow.

Stop running marathons
Yep your never going to gain much weight if you do much running
*not scientific*
hey fspot i was in your position about 3 years ago. i was on my high schools track team and specialized in the long distances. I also about the same time took up weight trainiing in the hopes of putting on some muscle mass. However, if you run alot, like i did your body eats up all the unnecessary muscle for running. i cant explain it scientifically but look at those marathoners they have no muscle mass. I didnt even run the marathon so if you seriously run marathons you are burning everything away.
i was 125 in my hs track days now im at 157. my weight/muscle mass cuz i didnt gain much fat has gone up as soon as i dropped running.
Thanks for the replies, guys. Homeyield, ill give fitday a shot.
