Well, I told ya I'd let ya know about the Hunter Education Class (orange card) as soon as I found out something. Since then I received a call from George Hasty about the class.
First, even if you aren't "required" by law to take the class, it is outstanding. Every time I've been I've learned something new. And this year there's something really new, as in a new instructor.
Mary McCullen was our instructor for years, but retired this year. So, we'll have somebody new this year!
Had to run this in early due to being out of town over the weekend, but back by the time you read this!
Anyway, just to get you caught up on what's in store: Aug. 15 is the opening of our squirrel season. Then, on Sept. 1, it sorta breaks loose. On that date we have several openings. Archery deer season starts and we have the early resident goose season and dove season. Just remember, you can't shoot doves, on opening day only, until 11 a.m. And, if you're hunting geese and doves, don't have any lead shot with you while goose hunting.
Weeter Southall, along with the aid of Ike Owen, landed this monster 12-inch shell cracker fish at an undisclosed location.
Last week I talked about dove season opening on Sept. 1. What I failed to mention was that you can't start hunting until 11 a.m. That's only on Sept. 1! Why? I have no idea cause the rest of the season you can start a half-hour before sunrise.
I also didn't mention that squirrel season opens on Aug. 18. While I enjoy squirrel hunting I prefer to wait until it gets cooler. There's just something about keeping one eye on the trees for squirrels and one on the ground for snakes!
Coming up this weekend, Aug. 4, will feature Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation's annual banquet.
It'll be held at Centre Square starting at 5:30 p.m., I think? While this is a moneymaker for the Elk Foundation you can still win some valuable prizes. There's the ever-popular 10-gun drawing. In this "game" you have one ticket for a chance to win one of the 10 guns.
In another, you have a metal band with a number, you have the correct band, you win the prize!
Saturday evening we held our annual Mid-KY Bass Anglers evening tournament on Willisburg Lake. This one started at 6 p.m. and lasted until midnight.
While the purpose of this evening tournament was to allow us to fish at a time when we wouldn't have to contend with the heat, that was all that was accomplished!
While it was indeed more comfortable, the productivity was way down. Out of seven boats, only seven bass, that were keepers, were caught.
As I prepare to write this week's article I can't help but think that the "getting' ready" i.e. Planning, projecting and just dreaming, about any activity is almost as exciting as performing the activity itself.
Case in point: Duck and goose hunting!
I just found out I (we) have an "in" at Ballard County this fall. So here it is the middle of July and I'm thinking about our new place to hunt in December!
In case you're wondering, being outside when the temperatures are over 100 degrees is just a little insane, unless of course you have to be.
As for me, I haven't stepped outside in a week. First off, I have a spider bite on my hand that's been giving me fits. I don't know what kind it was. We weren't formally introduced, but I know it hurt!
Anyway, my hand swelled to three times its normal size and was accompanied by a high fever.
Russell Holt, right and Dan Bruner hold a rattlesnake (still alive) that they caught in Holt's front yard June 29.
Ok, early deadline again! So, here I sit with not much in the way of anything to write about! But, all is not lost.
What we're going to talk about is fishing. And, not just any kind of fishing. We're going to talk about fishin' on top.
Topwater fishing is about the most exciting form of fishing there is. You're usually restricted to about four hours fishing topwater.
That's two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. The morning hours usually start an hour before sunrise and end an hour after the sun comes up.

They also enjoy each other and are thankful to be living in the same foster home. They're hoping an adoptive family will take them both, and ensure that they continue living together. Joel is hoping for a family who will accept both of them and have similar interests. Victor is hoping for parents, who will respect them and give them a lot of love.

I have been extremely naughty. I have been developing a piece of software (I'm the only developer) for a little while (O.K., it's over the course of a few years), but have not used any sort of source control.
I have resolved to use source control (git seems most likely, as the windows tools seem to have come on a lot on the last few months) from now on. What I do have is dated backups of the entire directory of my (.NET) solution.
What I would like to do is automagically have my backups visible in the revision history. It will be messy. Projects and files will have been added/removed over the course of the solution history. I'm not bothered about such problems as what I know to be renamed files being interpreted as removal of a file and addition of a new, unrelated one.
More generally my problem is: I have time ordered copies of a changing directory. Importing the first into git is easy I assume. But, I then want all subsequent copies of the directory to be merged, in date order, one at a time without me having to commit every sub-directory and file individually.
Is this possible, or is it just that I am punished for not using source control from the off?
Edit: If I go ahead with the 'commit all snapshots individually' method manually (there are less than 20 snapshots), is there a way (as Esko Luontola suggests I might want to) of overriding the commit dates with the dates I have for the snapshot. git commit does not appear to have a flag to allow this. Is there another way (I'm using Vista)?
Edit: In answer to my issue of using the original dates: You have to set the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and/or GIT_COMMITER_DATE environment variables to override the use of current dates and times when performing the commit.
The reason there are two sets of variables (there are also GIT_(AUTHOR|COMMITER)_(NAME|DATE|EMAIL)) is to distinguish between, say, the author who emails a patch, and the maintainer who is actually doing the commits into the repo.
Note if using git extensions on VS: If you set (export varname="value") these variables using the 'git bash' command line, and then switch back to the GUI to do a commit, it seems to ignore them. You have to stay on the command line and run 'git commit' from there.

Ted S. Warren, Associated Press
SEATTLE — In the dead of night, as drunken Halloween revelers streamed into the street from nearby bars, Karen Strickland tried to teach Occupy Seattle protesters how to get their message across to politicians.
Other lessons — including how to photograph human rights abuses, the history of labor movements and writing a "position statement" — were held as community college instructors from around the Emerald City gave free classes earlier this week in an attempt to bolster a protest that had been struggling to capture the attention of a city with a vibrant history of protests.
And as the Occupy movement shows signs of fracturing after violent outbreaks in Oakland and elsewhere, instructors here say they'll continue efforts to mentor the mostly young people who have taken to the streets over the last several weeks.
"We didn't talk about their particular strategies," said Strickland, who is the president of the American Federation of Teachers Seattle Local 1789. "I guess my impression is that these are people who are thoughtful. They certainly don't have all the answers. They make mistakes along the way. Does that mean they're ineffective or pointless? I don't think so."
From San Diego to New Mexico, Occupy protests have also played host to academics volunteering their time to provide free classes. In Seattle, the teacher's union for the city's community colleges supports the protesters and quickly organized the lessons at Seattle Central Community College, where the local movement recently relocated.
For weeks, Occupy Seattle was unable to attract more than a handful of people to camp overnight at the downtown plaza where it began in early October. A combination of cold, rainy weather and a police-enforced ban on tents dwindled their numbers.
An internal debate over whether to move the occupation to City Hall after an offer from Mayor Mike McGinn also divided the group. It got to the point that even a writer at the liberal alternative newspaper "The Stranger" complained about Occupy Seattle.
"The problem with Seattle's protesters is that they get caught up in fighting what is. What they need to do right now is give an example of what can be," writer Paul Constant posted, later adding, "make your camp a destination that people want to visit. Making this whole thing a battle over a public space that nobody likes is embarrassing and it flies in the face of what the Occupy Wall Street protesters have created."
Eventually, organizers decided to take the camp to the college, located in the middle of a lively urban neighborhood, where the administration is tolerating their tent city for now. It has, in some ways, reinvigorated the protest. Medical, information, books and food tents are among the 50 or so that have moved onto the college campus.
Somewhere between 100 and 200 people are now camping overnight, organizers said.
Still, it remains to be seen whether this evolving protest will measure up to Seattle's history of robust social movements.
In 1919, a general strike that began in the shipyards shut down the city, becoming one of the first successful city-wide work actions in the nation. During the Vietnam War years, University of Washington students would march down Interstate 5, halting traffic. One of the first chapters of the Black Panther party outside of California was established here in the late 1960s.
And more recently, the 1999 World Trade Organization protests with its heavy police clashes gave Seattle notoriety.
"If someone in California says Seattle, people think WTO," said Marissa Adams, 21, a California college student who has been volunteering at Occupy Seattle for a couple of weeks.

Despite problems in implementing the law, it's been revealed that 95 South Africans have legally changed their gender since the progressive Alteration of Sex Description and Sex Status Act came into effect in 2004.
This information was released by the Minister of Home Affairs, Naledi Pandor, in response to parliamentary questions by MP Manny de Freitas, the DA's Shadow Minister of Home Affairs.
De Freitas was spurred to ask Home Affairs for information on the implementation of the act after he was approached by a transgender individual who, he said, "is battling to resolve various applications for documents".
Passed in 2004, the Alteration of Sex Description and Sex Status Act allows transgender and intersex people to legally change their gender identity.
However, Mambaonline has previously reported numerous instances in which Home Affairs has delayed or ignored applications by transgender or intersex people to change their gender in their identity documents.
In May last year, Jacqui Louw from Cape Town, who had undergone gender reassignment surgery, was forced to obtain a court order forcing Home Affairs to have her identity document updated after a two year wait.
De Freitas explained that while the sex status law is an excellent one, he remains concerned about "officials who do not implement the law and instead use their personal prejudice and phobias instead to make decisions".
He added: "All too often, individuals who have a genuine and legitimate need for gender reassignment are marginalised. All too often such people are not respected and their dignitary is often impinged on. This happens simply because people don't, and sometimes refuse, to understand the affected person and his or her circumstances."
According to Leigh Ann van der Merwe, Coordinator of SHE (Social, Health and Empowerment Feminist Collective of Transgender and Intersex Women of Africa), one of the issues at the heart of the problem is the interpretation of the act.
She asserts that the law makes provision for any person who is receiving treatment of any kind to be eligible to have their gender changed.
"The act doesn't require surgery, as long as you have had some kind of treatment –– whether it be counselling, hormone therapy or gender reassignment surgery. Many people don't have access to medical treatment or surgical procedures in a country like South Africa," Van der Merwe said.
However, Home Affairs does not have a consistent interpretation of the law and may require applicants to have completed surgical procedures before considering their request.
"In my case they wanted a certain type of wording on the letter; if the letter didn't indicate that there was final surgery done they wouldn't change my documents. But another branch of Home Affairs was fine with it," she said.
With or without surgery, Van der Merwe says, applicants continue to face inordinate delays. "There are a number of people that are stuck in the system – not going forward not going backward – being shoved from pillar to post. It's very problematic at the moment."
These delays can have a devastating impact on the lives of transgender people, affecting their ability to get a job or apply for a passport.
Through additional questions to the Minister of Health, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, De Freitas also discovered that the Department of Health does not keep official records of gender reassignment surgical procedures that are performed in public sector facilities.
The department revealed that there are currently only two public sector clinics in South Africa with the specialised and skilled healthcare providers needed to perform gender reassignment surgery; these are linked to the universities of Pretoria (UP) and of Cape Town (UCT).
Despite the lack of an accurate database, "information at hand suggests that the UP clinic has performed more than a hundred procedures since inception in 1990 and the UCT clinic more than 10 since 2009," said Motsoaledi in his response.
"Acts such as the Alteration of Sex Description and Sex Status Act ensure that the golden principles listed in our Constitution and its Bill of Rights are put into practice," commented De Freitas. "It is now up to each and every one of us to be supportive of this and to educate those that do not understand this issue."
Chris 6/15/2015 12:10:37 AM REPLY
I have successfully changed my gender and name and it took 11 months - in the end I emailed every single person I could consistently and daily - names and addresses I received from the website of home affairs. Some people picked up on the mail that had little to nothing to do with this area in the department but assisted me to the correct contacts. They were amazing, understanding, and within weeks I had a new ID, a new marriage certificate and all sorted. I did go through two near arrests in road blocks, could not go to a hospital when ill and drove with female license (I dont look anything like photo on it) and for that was held up for hours until I explained everything to strangers,I could not sign an affidavit at the police station, I also could not do banking or claim on my insurance as voice different and they wanted to talk to account holder. I could not even transfer my own telephone line telephonically. Being in no man/womans land for 22 months was a nightmare. No one ever asked me for a bribe so it is not a case of slipping anyone anything, there are various departments the id has to go through and a lot more complicated than we think.
Thistle 6/15/2015 12:10:37 AM REPLY
This is a long shot, seeing the date you posted this, but when I saw your post I had to take a chance at this. I see you managed to sort out your marriage certificate. I'm having nightmares with it. Is there any chance you can contact me with advice? My email is: ciswife . elaine @ gmail . com without the spaces obviously. I can give more info via email. At the moment, we feel really caught between a rock and a hard place.
Colin 6/15/2015 12:10:37 AM REPLY
Could you please give me your email adress as I would like some more info from you
Kitsune 7/26/2013 3:25:58 AM REPLY
It's pathetic how they do this, I bet if you had to hand them R300 under the table it would be processed in a week.
Michael 7/11/2013 2:49:19 PM REPLY
l agree with this"All too often, individuals
who have a genuine and legitimate
need for gender reassignment are
marginalised. All too often such
people are not respected and their
dignitary is often impinged on. Also foreigners have it hard especialy if one ia from Zimbabwe wher there are no laws concerning tranzexuals...we need your help as a neighbouring country with therapy and councelling..

I have a Windows 2008 R2 server setup with DFS to another Windows server. I created a namespace called Linux with a folder called ClientFTP. Files added to the folder sync with both servers. Great.
I am now adding a linux server to the mix. I'm not sure if I want it/or need for it, to join the Windows Active Directory, but that's something you can tell me.
Moving on... I am using Debian Squeeze 6.0 with ProFTP and the ftp users are stored in a MySQL database. These users are not part of our organization. They are our clients, so I don't want them added into our AD. If they need to change their password they can go to our web site and there's a form that processes the password change using PHP/MySQL.
My questions are:
- Does the server need to join AD?
- How can I set it up so that the user saves the file to the DFS share?
- If DFS is too difficult or not supported on linux, I can use the main server IP, and switch it the other server if the main one goes down.
- How do I auto-create the home folder for the FTP user within the root ClientFTP folder?
- eg. \DOMAIN\linux\ClientFTP\%user% I don't want them seeing other user folders.

|Reviews for PPC: Pirates of the Caribbean

Charge you missed-when the Sue had Elizabeth be surprised at someone having the really common name of Turner.
PotC is set in the 1740s. I got that from the wiki.
| Michelle the Editor chapter 5 . 6/14/2012
The PPC, and this series among others, is what got me into fanfiction in the first place, so thanks for killing all of these Sues, and so creatively!
I'm actually toying with trying to rework Salina Rose into something resembling goodfic. Then again, I'm also thinking of doing that for A Trekkie's Tale and possibly even legolas by laura, so I don't know if I can match my ambitions.
According to Wikipedia The Great And Powerful, the f-word's probably older than the Puritans, based off a few possible Germanic words with similar sounds and meanings. And actually, the Norrington sisters are right: Tortuga's an island. Oh, and Raggetti the Misspelled Monkey's running around loose in the end of chapter 4, by the way.
The Norrington girls are the type that just boggle my mind. What is the point of making a character who does everything exactly what the canon characters did? If you put a whole new person in that situation, she should do her own thing!
It's been a while since you've updated: are Jira and SchmuckLeigh still active? I hope so. Even though the movies are starting to slip in popularity, there's an awful lot of badfic to go around.
Thank you!

This was without a doubt one of the funniest things I've ever read. I wasn't too sure about it at first because I didn't understand the concept right away-it's late here, so I figure it's justified-but I stayed up an extra 2 hours reading the entire thing and cracking up hysterically.

Hey! You did me a favor by honestly reviewing my story, so I'm going to return it. Don't worry, I won't be mean. All I need to say is that you've got a few instances when two people talk in the same paragraph, and different people talking should be seperated into different paragraphs. Other than that, I'm thoroughly enjoying this, and you CAN add my adventure with Dylanae onto this, if you like.
| Araeph chapter 1 . 1/14/2004
I'm using up my review for this chapter to bring you this:
. ?storyid1685736
It's called, "Death to Elizabeth." I think the title speaks for itself, but just in case you need a sample:
"Oh you stupid toothpick, shut up. Yes, circulation and I hope your hand with the freakishly manicured nails falls off and you become a homeless cripple."
-Will Turner, Sued!Elizabeth's erstwhile lover
It's so-to borrow an expression-fabulous when the canon characters are completely unrecognizable. (Such as the beautiful little fic where Will practices espousal abuse on his wedding night. I won't go there. I'm too upset.)
The only problem is, "Death to Elizabeth" is a one-shot because, strangely enough, Elizabeth ends up dead by the finale of the first chapter. (You'll love this-she's killed by Jack and Will.) I'm not sure Jira and Shmuckleigh take on one-shots. On the other hand, my PPC story is going up very soon. Will you or shall I? It's certainly riddled with errors.
| Guest chapter 5 . 1/4/2004
Very much enjoyed your story. But may I suggest you run a spell-checker on your own lines? :D
| Tippster chapter 1 . 12/27/2003
While sneaking around I came across such a horrid story that I had to make sure it wasn't some sort of joke. I'm warning you, it's horrible, you may not want to accept it. Should you choose to, I give my best wishes. It is called A Story by any other Name (STEALING SHAKESPEAR IDEAS! MAJOR NO NO!) and is written by a certain aussiesportstar (I believe that is the correct spelling). If you do not suceed, should you die from sue exposure or suffer from permament brain damage after reading this, I will dissavow any knowledge of something . . . or other . . .anyway good luck, and hopefully this message won't destruct . . . cause that would be bad . . . as my English is . .

Thousands of participants in the four-day Greenbelt Christian arts festival in Cheltenham have been reminded about the plight of blockaded Gaza.
The programme of the Greenbelt Christian festival this weekend declares that disagreement is "essential to discovery". This is an inspiring sentiment to hear in Christian circles, all the more so when it appears to be said with sincerity.
Christians are arriving in Cheltenham for Greenbelt, one of the country's largest Christian festivals, which includes a focus on politics and the arts.
The human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell has said that he is looking forward to speaking at the Greenbelt Christian festival this weekend, despite controversy.
Greenbelt 2010 (http://www.greenbelt.org.uk/festival/), backed by global development agency Christian Aid and a range of other organisations, is expected to attract some 21,000 people from 27-30 August at Cheltenham Racecourse.
The annual Greenbelt festival of arts, debate and social justice is showing the institutional churches the way forward in a post-Christendom era, says the religion and society think-tank Ekklesia.
When Christians explore nonviolence, we do so with the legacy of Christian collusion with militarism hanging over us. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the confusion around Christian attitudes to the armed forces.
Supporters of the Greenbelt festival have rejected suggestions that the inclusion of Peter Tatchell amongst the speakers will leave children at risk of abuse.
The UK's Department for International Development (DfID) has formally withdrawn as a partner of the Greenbelt festival following budget cuts by the new government.

PROVO — BYU punt returner JD Falslev's last day of summer work came on Thursday. In the hot June and July sun, he gathered range balls and took care of the carts at Sleepy Ridge Golf Course in Orem for 15 to 20 hours a week.
In a few days, he'll return to what the Cougars pay him to do with tuition, books, scholarship checks, Nike gear, shoes, per diem money on road trips and all the accessories that come with playing major college football.
Falslev's summer job gave him some pocket change and might buy him some school clothes — if that.
I bet there are some folks in Provo who'd buy Falslev lunch or a round of golf if he'd just hang out with them and talk football now that camp starts next week.
But that is a no-no. He is an amateur college football player.
Is amateurism dead?
In the Olympic Games, which began its latest edition this week in London, it has been dead for a long time with inclusion of professional athletes.
In the NCAA, amateurism tries to live on.
And it's kind of a joke.
The idea floats along in the NCAA with a misused ideal that bucks U.S. labor laws. It rides high on the spine of a set of rules as thick as a telephone book to control and inhibit athletes so their abilities can be cornered, marketed and sold by the school.
NCAA rules are designed to restrict what football and basketball players can do with their own image, reputation and skills — as the NCAA and universities then collect all the money from gate receipts and TV contracts for themselves.
For half a century, the Olympics held onto an idea that only amateurs could compete in the Games. Purists said if we paid athletes, the Games would topple within a decade.
Instead, what we witness in coming weeks is a billion-dollar extravaganza. It's never been more popular or successful, and TV networks clamor to bid for the rights to air the events.
It's time for the NCAA to allow its athletes to earn some of the spoils, according to Patrick Hruby of the Washington Times. He has some great points in a Friday piece titled "The Olympics Show Why College Sports Should Give Up on Amateurism."
If Michael Phelps is allowed to make a bundle of money off his Olympic exploits, why isn't a guy like Falslev or Utah defensive tackle Star Lotulelei, if some business is willing to pay them for appearances, photographs or autographs?
Because the NCAA doesn't allow it.
Nobody's saying colleges have to pay their athletes a salary aside from their education. But if a talent can draw a few shekels on the side, what's the harm?
The main problem, as I see it, is colleges would then get into bidding wars in recruiting by promising revenue arrangements by boosters or other businesses. The SEC, which some argue is doing that now, would have a heyday.
But isn't that free enterprise?
The clock may have just run out on the idea of pure amateurism. It doesn't exist. We do currently pay college players with expensive educations. We then restrict them from earning money by doing what Falslev did this summer, a part-time job picking up golf balls in a field.
In the article by Hruby, he takes us back to the beginnings of amateurism, a puritan idea hatched in old England.
"Specifically, snooty British elites who enjoyed rowing, winning and keeping the unwashed day-laboring masses at arm's length," is where the idea came from.

I love the Organize Series plugin, but image icons do not work with Amazon S3 for WordPress plugin. When S3 for WordPress is set to "Use Amazon S3 for storage when uploading via WordPress' upload tab", series icon images appear to upload fine but are never saved. Un-selecting this option in S3 for WordPress allows them to work, and it can then be re-selected after working with series icons.
I wonder if there is some function in Organize Series that is interfering with links to S3? Or is this an issue with S3 for WordPress?

I know that Joost de Valk's Gooogle Analytics plugin can use hashtags instead of question marks for SEO purposes. It also allows one to redirect question mark utm campaigns to hashtag ones.
Joost says " the question mark. The question mark has a real meaning in URLs: it allows you to add parameters to a URL. For that reason Google and other search engines, as well as sites like Delicious, can't automatically strip these off. There is, however, a very nice solution to this problem: campaign tracking using a hashtag."
Is there anyway you could implement an advance setting check box to allow us to switch to hashtags for the button? I redirect my question mark Google Analytics parameters to the hashtag version now using Joost's plugin but I would much prefer to have the original parameter with this plugin set up as a hashtag.

I have many 1000s of files in Google Cloud Storage and I'm writing a .Net application to process the list of files. I'm using the SharpGs .Net library (https://github.com/acropolium/SharpGs) which seems simple and easy enough to use. However, I only seem to be getting back 1000 objects.
I am using the following code:
var bucket = GoogleStorageClient.GetBucket(rootBucketName)
var objects = bucket.Objects;
There doesn't seem to be any obvious way to obtain the next 1000 objects so I'm a bit stuck at the moment.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

It is well known that we can switch from a statistical system to a quantum mechanical system by a Wick rotation. Has this rotation some implication on the way the time flow? namely, this is an accident or has a deep meaning?
In perturbation theory, the Wick rotated Euclidian Green functions are exactly the time ordered vacuum expectations. The reason behind that is that the Wick rotation in the complex plane is only possible given the analyticity properties of the causal Green functions. The situation in nonperturbative situations is more subtle, because not always the action functional becomes negative after the Wick rotation, please see the following article by t'Hooft.

I am someone who goes to this mountain over 25 times a year, so I know a lot about it. It has a very family friendly atmosphere. The lodge is brand-new, and very big. Several things that aren't so great about this mountain are its old lift, small size, halfpipe and food service. On weekends, when its crowded, the food, ticket and lift lines can get very long. The ladies who do the food aren't very friendly, but the food is reasonable. The lift is pretty old, but very reliable. It is never broken down, but will go pretty slow every now and then. It usaully takes 3-4 minutes to get to the top. On busy weekend days, they'll open the t-bar, which helps ease the lines. Mid-winter is really the best time to come, the terrain park is set up, and almost all the trails are open if not all. You can always count on most runs being groomed. Tubing is always really fun, the tubing park has its own lift, and 3-5 lanes, which are about 100' vertical drop. As for the halfpipe, it really isn't good at all. They don't have any special a equipment, so it is not very deep. It's like two big parrallel ridges of snow, which does infact make a great jump. If you are coming here for more than skiing, don't come. The only building at the base is the lodge, which has rentals, food and about twenty arcade games. There is great night skiing though, you can ski till ten on weekday and Saturday nights. If you live in the Bangor area, this is definately a great place to ski or learn to ski. If you are traveling an hour or more to ski here, go to Sugarloaf, Sunday River or even Camden Snowbowl. Unless you are already in town, this isn't much of a vacation mountain. But this mountain is definitely a good one to check off your list.
P.S. The date I put for date visited is just, in my opinion, the best time to come, January.

Can anyone tell me how to safely remove tree sap from my car's finish?
By Claire from Chicago burbs
Wash vehicle with a quality car soap and dry. while vehicle is in shade or other cool place. Use isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) on a soft clean cloth, pour on a generous amount.Wipe over sap using very light pressure. If you use to hard of pressure, dirt in the sap or encased by the sap may cause scratching. Follow with a cleaner wax.
I just posted the same question without knowing that it was a widespread problem. I already tried to clean the sap drops. But light dark marks were left on my brand new white Mercedes I wonder if alcohol with be able to remove those dark marks?
Thanks I will try rubbing alcohol. Hope it will still work because I already removed the sap without rubbing alcohol and left dark marks on the finish. The marks are not that dark, but annoying to me.
Have to say, rubbing alcohol works magic. I bought both that and Goo Gone (for cars). Both worked but the alcohol was much easier and required less grease (elbow) to remove the sap. Thanks for the help!
If you have tree sap the best thing to do is not touch it and use a water hose to rince it off. I have tried everything also and found if you touch it, it sticks but if you rinse it with water it comes off very easy.
Rubbing alcohol.or hand sanitizer.

Jane Huxley - one of the funnest people i've worked with at MS is bailing. She was top of my list of the people who never moved to the US who would have done super well here if she had. My best memories of working with Jane are probably now for writing down, but close to that was the time she did a demo for me when I keynoted Aussie teched in 2000 - I'd seen/done the demo a load before then (it was a pretty standard win2k thing) - she put nuance & humour to it to the point where it was a different piece than i'd ever seen before. She was so much better at making great stories out of demos than anyone else in the company. http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,11564969^15317,00.html. Normally my attitude when people go is don't let the door hit you on the way out, but best of luck Janey!
MS Australia in the early 90s was full of a great group of people - it's interesting to see what they've done since then.

I followed this guide to compile QEMU so that I could run a Raspberry Pi Archlinux image in it - which I learned how to do in this guide.
I'm trying to run x-server on the virtualized Archlinux image, but to do so, I must have a graphics device. I installed some generic drivers (i.e. Vesa) for now, but my QEMU isn't showing any graphics devices to be available.
As a startup parameter, I tried
-vga cirrus which gave me the error:
Error: Cirrus VGA not available
I then tried to have QEMU emulate a different graphics device using the
-vga std parameter, but then got this error:
Error: standard VGA not available
Where do I go from here? I have a gut feeling that this issue is due to the fact that I compiled QEMU myself for ARM. I've looked up the error message, but I can't seem to find anything relevant to my issue.

Kirkland Snags M&A Tax Partner From Skadden
Kirkland & Ellis LLP has hired a tax and mergers-and-acquisitions partner from crosstown rival Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Dean Shulman, who joins Kirkland's New York office, has worked on several high-profile M&A deals, advising on tax aspects of Sprint Nextel's $25 billion sale to SoftBank last year and the spinoff of Pfizer's animal-health business, Zoetis
Tax-law expertise is in demand as large, cross-border M&A transactions return in full force this year. In particular, 2014 has seen a spike in "inversion" deals, complicated tax-fueled transactions which a U.S. company buys a foreign company and redomiciles in a lower-tax country.
Mr. Shulman worked on one of the earliest in the new wave of inversions, representing the financial advisers to Pentair, which merged in 2012 with a unit of Ireland-domiciled Tyco International Ltd. and reincorporated in Ireland.
He also advised John Malone's Liberty Media on the spinoff of the Starz channel, and the estate of Leona Helmsley, one of the heirs to the Empire State Building, on the building's 2013 initial public offering.
Mr. Shulman becomes the latest lawyer poached by Kirkland from elite rival firms. The firm has hired a pair of private-equity partners from Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP over the last year, and in late 2012 hired Sarkis Jebejian, a Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP lawyer who focuses on public-company M&A deals.

Healthy Cats
Do Hypoallergenic Cats Exist?
President Barack Obama's much-publicized search for a dog that wouldn't trigger daughter Malia's allergies put a spotlight on hypoallergenic dogs.
But less attention has been paid to cats, even though cat allergies are twice as common as allergies to dogs, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

Worms in Cats: An Infection of Intestinal Parasites
Cats can get a variety of intestinal parasites, including some that are commonly referred to as "worms." Infestations of intestinal worms can cause a variety of symptoms. Sometimes cats demonstrate few to no outward signs of infection, and the infestation can go undetected despite being a potentially serious health problem. Some feline parasitic worms are hazards for humane health as well.
Read the Worms in Cats: An Infection of Intestinal Parasites article > >
So is there such a thing as a hypoallergenic cat?
The short answer is scientists don't know. If you have allergies and want a cat, it may be possible to find one that won't bother you. But experts can't explain why.
Anatomy of an Allergy
People with cat allergies react to a protein in the animal's saliva, skin, and urine. The allergen collects on the cat's fur when the animal licks itself and comes off in tiny flakes of skin that glom onto walls, carpet, and furniture or stay in the air. A cat's lick or scratch can cause skin welts or itchiness. In the nose and lungs, the protein causes itchy, watery eyes and nasal congestion and can lead to asthma.
The allergens are so powerful that they can hang around for months, causing effects long after the cat is gone.
Some cats secrete less of the protein, some cats put out less saliva, and some cats produce less dander. But all cats make the allergen in some form -- and a tiny amount can cause a lot of symptoms, depending on how clean you keep your house and how often you're around the animal, says Robert Zuckerman, MD, an allergy and asthma specialist in Harrisburg, Pa.
"Even a cat that has a little bit of allergen can cause allergy if you have enough exposure to it," Zuckerman says.
The other variable is your immune system. Maeve O'Connor, MD, an allergy, asthma, and clinical immunologist in Charlotte, N.C., says one person can hold a cat and have no symptoms, while another has an asthma attack standing near a person with cat dander on his or her clothes.

Met Office: "It is not cold everywhere in the world."
Large parts of the world are quite warm, especially the Pacific's El Ni±o region, so 2010 still likely to be hottest year on record
Climate change is taking place as the earth continues to warm up.
In the UK, 2009 as a whole was the 14th-warmest on record (since 1914). This above-average temperature trend was reflected globally, with 2009 being the fifth-warmest year on the global record (since 1850).
It [the recent cold snap] doesn't tell us anything about climate change, which has to be looked at in a global context and over longer periods of time.
The UK's Met Office, part of its Defence Ministry, has an excellent post, "What's causing the cold weather?"
They explain that unlike the usual weather pattern of the last 20 years, "over the past three weeks the Atlantic air has been 'blocked' and cold air has been flowing down from the Arctic or the cold winter landmass of Europe." They also note that December wasn't record-breaking in terms of cold, but merely "the coldest for 14 years and colder than the long-term average."
More significantly, the Met Office notes (and yes the figure above is their posting of last week's land-surface temperature anomalies):
… it is not cold everywhere in the world. North-east America, Canada, North Africa, the Mediterranean, and south-west Asia have all seen temperatures above normal – in many places by more than 5 °C, and in parts of northern Canada, by more than 10 °C.
Two weeks ago I noted that the Australian weather bureau reported: "Central Pacific Ocean surface temperatures are now at their warmest level since the El Ni±o of 1997-98."³
On Wednesday they updated their El Ni±o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) report. They note, "The tropical Pacific Ocean sea surface remains significantly warmer than the long-term average in central and eastern areas." Since the Met Office published the land surface temperature anomalies, it seems a good match to post the sea surface temperature anomalies from last week (12/28 – 1/03) from the Australians:
Again, some places are coolish, some are quite warm. On the whole, the planet is not in a deep freeze. Quite the reverse, not only do we continue to warm, but the warming in the equatorial Pacific means we are in a moderate-to strong El Ni±o.
In fact, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center just released its monthly ENSO Diagnostic Discussion, which concludes:
Synopsis: El Ni±o is expected to continue at least into the Northern Hemisphere spring 2010.
El Ni±o strengthened during December 2009, with above-average sea surface temperatures (SST) encompassing the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. Weekly values of the Ni±o-3.4 index increased slightly with the most recent value reaching +1.8°C
The models disagree on both the length and strength of the El Ni±o, but a number forecast it lasting through the summer, including the Ensemble Mean forecast from the Predictive Ocean Atmosphere Model for Australia (POAMA).
So 2010 continues to have a better than 50% chance of being the hottest year on record (see Hansen predicts better than 50% chance 2010 will set new record and UK Met Office: Global warming plus El Ni±o means it's "more likely than not that 2010 will be the warmest year in the instrumental record").
The anti-science disinformers, snow bunnies that they are, will need to enjoy the cold while they can!

13 Responses to Met Office: "It is not cold everywhere in the world."
Thank you for this Joe. Perspective is much needed during local cold snaps. It is heartening that we haven't completely mucked things up (yet), so that these types of record colds are still possible. Hopefully it kills some bark beetle larva.
I read this description of a recent study regarding the impact of the loss of Arctic sea ice on Arctic ocean mixing. Might this have any ramifications beyond regional?
We made a similar post two days ago, "Global Climatic Disruption Becoming More Evident" – http://westcoastclimateequity.org/?p=4179. But we didn't have the graphics Joe provided in this post showing present extreme climatic conditions. The Met Office map of LST anomalies is really scary. Our planet is "twisting in the wind."
Thank you, Joe, for your brilliant work in keeping us all informed.
As much as anything, the weather just seems more and more erratic. As far as I understand climate science, it predicts such volitility, no? As currents and weather patterns become less dependable, old patterns disappear and volitiality will reign until a new stable climate state is reached ( likely a very long time from now after CO2 and other GHGs are stabilized, and after natural feedback cycles run their course)
Joe, is there any measurement of weather or temperature volatility that you know of…. a sort of VIX for climate. ( a ticker symbol that measures the volitility of the DOW) I would not know how to apply such statistics but I would think that with the data sets available would allow one to create one.
I don't know if they provide you with a true "VIX" but the US Climate Extremes index from NCDC is a partial step in the direction you are thinking of:
According to a copy of the organisation's latest annual report and accounts, John Hirst, the organisation's chief executive, received between £195,000 and £200,000 in pay and bonuses in 2008/9.
The figure is a 25 per cent increase on the £155,000 to £160,000 "pay equivalent" for Mr Hirst in 2007/8. Mr Hirst had joined midway through the previous financial year in September 2007.
And it looks like Hirst comes from a big oil company and is getting a big bonus for last year.
Looks like The Met Office has a lot of money and is runjing a little behind Joe Bastardi on storm forecasting for Britain.
Dear Joe,
Why does the MET office use old-fashioned map projections that badly distort the relevant areas, land or ocean?
Why would any scientist emphasizing land surface temperature anomalies use a projection that makes Greenland as big as Australia?
There are much better projections to show relative land or ocean areas.
@2 MarkB
I think the implication from "…internal waves bring deeper waters closer to the surface…" in the last paragraph of the article you cited is that warmer water from the surface will be mixed downward. In other words, thermal energy will get transported more deeply and, at least as I see it, increase the probability of a "collapse" of methane hydrates/clathrates. A substantial release of methane from these sources will undoubtedly lead to accelerating temperature increases across the entire northern hemisphere and probably worldwide.
Furthermore, "initial" regional impacts will include increased coastal erosion, which may also contribute to the above, as well as increasing air-temps over the "tundra" regions accelerating the thawing of the permafrost, releasing yet more methane and CO2 leading to an even greater acceleration of global heating and migration of weather patterns. The latter inclusive of "extreme events." I hope this "helps."
Hey Rick!
Stop building those 'straw men'.
The December U.S. data, released today, show that it was cold, but not as much as November was warm, relative to normal. December was also more wet relative to normal than it was cold, hence the heavy snow.
If we want to make annecdotal local weather observations to confirm or refute global warming (ridiculous I know), I can tell you that here in Vancouver, it is raining and relatively warm. We have had no snow this winter season. We usually get some snow. Why doesn't FOX news broadcast from here?
And if any of you come for the Winter Olympics in one month, you can expect lots of rain. There is enough snow on the mountains for the Alpine events, but don't expect a winter wonderland at sea level in the city.
Bernard @ #7:
Just a guess, but I'd imagine it has something to do with the global grid system used for climate models. Could be wrong though.
According to the NSIDC, the Arctic oscillation causes this effect, and as we know from this site (again using NSIDC) there is a +7 temp anomaly over the Arctic at the moment. Does anyone know if the two are interrelated, that this cold snap could be an artefact of a warming earth, or it the cold-loss that causes a negative oscillation too high in the atmosphere to b rlated to GW?
Thanks, colinc.

An Introduction to OpenSSL Programming, Part II of II
The quickest and easiest way to secure a TCP-based network application is with SSL. If you're working in C, your best choice is probably to use OpenSSL (www.openssl.org). OpenSSL is a free (BSD-style license) implementation of SSL/TLS based on Eric Young's SSLeay package. Unfortunately, the documentation and sample code distributed with OpenSSL leave something to be desired. Where they exist, the manual pages are pretty good, but they often miss the big picture, as manual pages are intended as a reference, not a tutorial.
Here, we provide an introduction to OpenSSL programming. The OpenSSL API is vast and complicated, so we don't attempt to provide complete coverage. Rather, the idea is to teach you enough to work effectively from the manual pages. In the first part, published in the September issue of Linux Journal, we introduced the basic features of OpenSSL. In this article we show how to use a number of advanced features such as session resumption and client authentication.
For space reasons, this article only includes excerpts from the source code. The complete source code is available in machine-readable format from the author's web site at www.rtfm.com/openssl-examples.
For most of this article we'll be extending the simple client/server pair (wclient and wserver) we presented in Part 1 to create two new programs: wclient2 and wserver2. Like wclient, wclient2 is a simple HTTPS (see RFC 2818) client. It initiates an SSL connection to the server and then transmits an HTTP request over that connection. It then waits for the response from the server and prints it to the screen. This is a vastly simplified version of the functionality found in programs like fetch and cURL.
wserver2 is a simple HTTPS server: it waits for TCP connections from clients, and when it accepts one it negotiates an SSL connection. Once the connection is negotiated, it reads the client's HTTP request. It then transmits the HTTP response to the client. Once the response is transmitted it closes the connection.
Towards the end of this article we'll show a more interactive client (sclient) that is usable for debugging or simple remote login.
When a client and server establish an SSL connection for the first time, they need to establish a shared key called the master_secret. The master_secret is then used to create all the bulk encryption keys used to protect the traffic. The master_secret is almost invariably established using one of two public key algorithms: RSA or Diffie-Hellman (DH). Unfortunately, both of these algorithms are quite slow--on my Pentium II/400 a single RSA operation takes 19 ms. DH can be even slower.
An operation that takes 19 ms may not sound that expensive, but if it has to be done for every connection, it limits the server's throughput to less than 50 connections/second. Without SSL, most web servers can handle hundreds of connections a second. Thus, having to do a key exchange for every client seriously degrades the performance of a web server. In order to improve performance, SSL contains a "session resumption" feature that allows a client/server pair to skip this time consuming step if they have already established a master_secret in a previous connection.
The performance of RSA is highly asymmetric. Operations performed with the private key (such as when the server decrypts the shared key) are much slower than operations performed with the public key. Thus, in most situations most of the computational load is on the server.
SSL makes a distinction between a connection and a session. A connection represents one specific communications channel (typically mapped to a TCP connection), along with its keys, cipher choices, sequence number state, etc. A session is a virtual construct representing the negotiated algorithms and the master_secret . A new session is created every time a given client and server go through a full key exchange and establish a new master_secret.
Multiple connections can be associated with a given session. Although all connections in a given session share the same master_secret, each has its own encryption keys. This is absolutely necessary for security reasons because reuse of bulk keying material can be extremely dangerous. Resumption allows the generation of a new set of bulk keys and IVs from a common master_secret because the keys depend on the random values, which are fresh for each connection. The new random values are combined with the old master_secret to produce new keys.
Block socket with SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY
If I use block socket with SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY
The flag SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY will cause read/write operations to only return after the handshake and successful completion.
Do I have to handle the retrying in SSL_Read and SSL_Write? Isn't it easier to do this way? I know it hurts throughput a little, but is it a big deal?

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide
