I won't name names or skins, but I have had periodic issues that i traced to skins that were not subtle issues at all...Nearly catastrophic. When I had problems, Reaper was not even crashing, the project would just vanish, no error log, no event in Windows event viewer, and sometimes upon reopening the project, the audio was corrupted. I discussed this at great length on the beta forum and privately with Giancarlo (privately because it appeared that I was alone in this and I know that this sort of thing can turn into panic and mayhem, which is not necessary..). I have never figured out why this could happen, but I do know that all of the issues disappeared when i went back to the default skin.
My personal opinion has always been that this is not Acustica's fault or responsibility to "fix" since the skins supplied by them have always worked flawlessly and that the other skins are user-made. I have been told by others that Acustica is still partly responsible because they are also providing the platform for users to do this. I tend to go hard-core jerk on this topic and think that the best solution for Acustica then, IF they are to assume any responsibility, is to remove the ability for users to make skins....lol (I hear a few specific "skinners" boiling up right now.....bwahaha). But because user-made skins are part of the old-school community-based vibe around here, I don't see that as a likelihood.
Because until this thread popped up, there has never been a reason for me to raise an alarm because while I don't think it is my system (happened on my previous system AND my new i7), I was still alone with the problems and decided that my solution of sticking with the default skin was an awesome fix. Besides, I like having the same skin for my 100+ Nebula's, it keeps me using my ears and not being fooled by the gorgeous GUI's made by some very talented graphic artists (the compliments are serious, I just prefer not to use them).
This thread will be interesting (thanks for alerting me Kindafishy....)
hmmmmm, mr. doc richie sir, yes the can / box is open and you are not alone...
I have some strange activities with alternative skins too. but I think thats only in my head. now I read your post and maybe thats not in my head? I`ve never done a test with the default skin. my next step.

Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greene County, Ohio is a non-profit organization that shelters and helps families get back on the right path of maintaining their livelihood. Interfaith Hospitality Network helps in the development of network operations. The mission is to be united with the community in Greene County, showing unconditional love and compassion along with setting a good example for the rest of us, by establishing a program to help fill the needs of the community.
Nationwide Biweekly Administration donated a sizable financial contribution to the Schneider House of Hope, a part of the Interfaith Hospitality Network, letting people know they are not alone when it comes to getting our community back on standing grounds. When the owner of Nationwide Biweekly Administration, Daniel Lipsky, was asked why he choose to donate to this particular cause, he stated, "I believe in the Schneider House of Hope because of how they truly help, in many different ways, families in need who are going through very difficult financial times. They represent the hands and feet of a caring community assisting our fellow-man in the time of need." Not only does Nationwide Biweekly Administration help with eliminating interest charges on your mortgage or any other loans by offering biweekly repayment plans, they also have heart and desire to help fill the needs of the community.
Today's post is an explanation of articles you may have seen or run into when you do a search on Nationwide Biweekly Administration. It is amazing how a hand full of people, who have not fully researched a company, can post a blog on the internet and misrepresent them. I find these articles to be as believable as the national enquire and have very little solid information to back them up. With this said I have "legit" research to back up everything that has been said (see below) and to prove that Nationwide Biweekly Administration is NOT A SCAM.
First point I want to go over is the way NBA may market to potential customers. Some of you may have received a letter with the name of your lender on top that explains how NBA can save you money on your mortgage with their interest minimizer program. This letter is not intended to "trick you". The reason why your lender is on the top of the page simply shows you that NBA administers the program to your lender as well as over 5,000 other lenders. If you so choose to call you will be connected to their customer service departments which can run a savings analysis report on your mortgage or any other type of loan you are trying to pay off early.
The second point I want to make is the trust issue with NBA. If there is any biweekly program company that you can trust with making sure your payment is applied properly and on time, it has to be NBA. Why do I say that? Well first they are one of the nation's largest and most recognized independent processors. They are fully licensed, bonded, and registered with FinCEN – the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network – as a Money Services Business. On top of that they are also listed with Dunn & Bradstreet and the Better Business Bureau. But what I really find interesting is they are the only biweekly company that has been independently audited by the C.P.A. Firm of Flagel, Huber, Flagel, & Company. As you can see in this video they earned a Gold Seal of Approval documenting that their savings estimates are accurate, funds are protected by FDIC Insured Banks, client's funds are being remitted to lenders accurately and timely, and their program operates as indicated in contracts. To top off any more trust issues you may have, their corporate office is located in the State of Ohio and is audited annually by the State to ensure strict compliance to all State and Federal Regulations. All payments are securely processed through the Federal ACH Banking System, and enjoy protection under Regulation "E" of the Federal Reserve. Under Regulation "E," funds debited from your account are protected against fraud or loss for a period of 60 days from the drafting date. You are completely protected & have nothing to worry about with NBA.
My last point that will be covered pertains to the articles on how biweekly programs are nothing but a scam or something that you shouldn't need to pay someone to do because you can do it yourself. For the sake of these articles I am going to sum it up for you and assure you that biweekly programs are NOT a scam. You see, in a perfect little world we would do everything ourselves. In the morning we could jump right of bed into our workout clothes and hit the weights for 30 minutes. Then we could hurry up and cut the grass before heading into work. During lunch we could rush home and change our oil. Then once the work day is finished we could clean the pool out and maybe even give the dog a bath and a quick trim. Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? It's a good thing that we have people that can actually help provide us with convenience, discipline, and structure so we can stay on track and not have to do everything on our own. This is how I see what a biweekly program can do. Of course this is something that every one of us can do. How simple can it be to make an extra payment a year? Well I guess not that simple since less than 1% of Americans prepay their mortgages every year. Lets be honest, if anyone of us had extra money that equaled our mortgage payment I doubt that making an extra payment towards it would be the first thing on your list. So if you think that Nationwide Biweekly Administration is a scam then so is your personal trainer, lawn cutting service, guy that changes your oil, pool boy, and dog groomer. These are all helpful services that are provided for those who want them. If you would like to talk about scams go ahead and check how much interest you will be paying your bank once you pay off your loan. I guarantee you will be giving them thousands of dollars more then you would ever give a company that provides a biweekly program.
I hope this sums up some of the articles you may have read and would love to see some POSITIVE comments on how using a biweekly program has help you out.

From the back of the book:
Squanto and the Miracle of Thanksgiving is one of my favorite Thanksgiving children's books because it gives a different perspective to the story that the Native Americans helped the Pilgrims survive. Instead of the usual politically correct version, Metaxas tells Squanto's story in view of God's sovereignty.
In 1608, a 12 year old boy named Squanto was captured in America and taken to Spain as a slave. With the help of Spanish monks who taught him about God, Squanto made his way to England and finally back to his homeland.
Squanto arrived to find an empty village - a deadly virus had wiped out his entire tribe. In their place, a small group of struggling Pilgrims settled and called their new community Plymouth.
Because of his time with the monks and in England, Squanto could communicate with the Pilgrims and knew about God. Soon he became their valuable guide and true friend."
God knew when the Pilgrims would arrive. And He knew they would need someone to teach them to farm their new land. So He took something horrible, slavery, and transformed it into something amazing, the preservation of Squanto and the Pilgrims.
I love the concept of God changing something bad into good. It gives me hope for my own life. Specifically it gives me hope that my miscarriage and incurable disease (rheumatoid arthritis) may have beautiful consequences one day. That hope doesn't make them easy now. It just makes them more endurable.
If you are looking for a book to add to your Thanksgiving collection, I highly recommend Squanto and the Miracle of Thanksgiving. Maybe reading about Squanto's life will bring you hope like it does me.
Be sure to like Stephanie's Mommy Brain on Facebook where I'm sharing more Thanksgiving tips and links throughout November.

If you spend enough time in a net community you will run into all kinds of
people. If you run a net community you have to make some tough decisions very
quickly about what to do with some of these kinds of people. Some people, let's
face it, are just bad apples. If you met them in person they might be perfectly
reasonable, even normal people. But on-line something happens to them. They
become aggressive, totally devoid of empathy, manipulative, emotionally needy to
the point of demanding attention at all times.
What do you do with these anti-social people? Or actually, more to the point,
these disruptive people? When I started WinCustomize, my instinct was firmly to
go by the "freedom of speech" principle. But as the site became more
popular, the number of disruptive people increased. And these people would drive
away the kinds of people that a net community really needs.
Eventually I was able to find out specifically what type of person really
goes nuts when on-line: Narcisist. Here are the primary symptoms:
These kinds of people probably function fine in normal society because they
do not have the ability (or means at least) to constantly be seen by hundreds,
even thousands of people at once. But on-line, they become monsters. And
as bastardly as it may sound, over the years I've become increasingly intolerant
of them. They tend to have the same patterns of behavior. But I still kept
myself from removing these people in all but the most extreme cases.
But then something on another site happened. Over time, our site had become
the most popular skin site in the world. Such popularity tends to breed
resentment with some people and someone commented, wrongly, that we "Exile"
people for simply disagreeing with us. I argued passionately about how we
do not do that. We only exile those who make personal attacks (after sufficient
warning) or promote warez. But it became clear that there was a consensus that
we remove people simply because they tick us off.
Which was a really freeing moment. Because we had wanted to remove
disruptive people for a very long time but didn't because we were trying to be
nice guys and we didn't want people elsewhere to see us as some sort of
totalitarian regime. But heck, if we were already getting falsely accused of it,
then why were we worrying about how people already hostile to us thought.
That was about 3 months ago and since then we have been able to clean up our
net community with great effectiveness. Now, if someone is a jerk or just
plain pisses us off, they're gone. We exercise restraint still but essentially
we just don't want to have jerks hanging out on our forums on WinCustomize.
And we mean jerks in the sense that these would be people that most people would
find to be jerks. If they go on and start flaming people or hijacking
topics or being obnoxious, we'll look at what they've contributed to the
community versus what they are currently doing. If they have contributed to the
community we'll drop them an email asking them to watch their language or
behavior. But if they've never done anything for the net community, zap. Just a
click and they're history. If it's a borderline case at all, we'll discuss
it privately in our admin forum first before deciding.
Not that it happens often. Maybe once a month or so. But what a difference it
makes. Instead of having tempers running high because some jerk is trying to
make life unpleasant for others, that jerk is now gone. Of course, those people
can still go off to other sites and flame us. But at least it's not happening on
our site.
The worst narcissists on-line tend to be women. I have no idea why that is
except that males tend to enable them. I've seen textbook narcissists behaving
in ways that if it were a male they would, at the very least, be criticized. But
if it's a female, they'll get sympathy for behavior that no one would ever
tolerate outside the Internet. Anyone who has spent even a few months on-line
has almost certainly seen this. But whether male or female they are
equally disruptive to a community because both try to turn every forum, every
topic, into being about them. Those who don't fall into line become targets.
I had an incident this past week where a narcissist type user who had long
since been banned from our site for her behavior took her grievance to another
site and began "Standard persecution post #226" about some other user. But
subsequently she apparently could not control her anger and began lashing out at
her usual target list of frustrations (such as me even though I wasn't even
remotely involved on the issue she was upset about). Such posts never
resolve anything (particularly when on other sites that aren't even tangentially
involved). All they do is create strive and ill feelings within a community.
That is why any administrator running a large net community will learn, as we
eventually did, that you have to identify narcissists and remove them. Net
communities (especially blogs) attract narcissists. Most bloggers, myself
included, will exhibit some narcissistic traits. Identifying it in yourself or
in others is crucial to being successful, long term, in a net community. But
most of all, removing those who are unable to control their narcissism will go a
long way to creating a healthier, happier net community.

Up, up, up... And down!
12th Mar 2013
Staff and service users from Heathcotes Oadby have been thrill seeking recently with an adventure to Alton Towers; armed with supplies and cash for treats they pulled away from Heathcotes Oadby ready for what lay ahead, only for the home's trusty Ford Galaxy to be in need of a refill! After a false start they were off, prepared for a long drive ahead with a rather excited Laura leading the group in a sing-along to Abba, S Club 7 and the standard Disney tunes! Her 'melodic' rendition of Wonderwall however was met with a cheeky, but some might say accurate, verdict of 'Woeful' from judge Lisa.
Upon arrival at Alton Towers the gtroup entered the world of thrilling rides that lay before them. After some deliberation over the best places to go and with Laura and Jonathan, wide-eyed with excitement, they queued up for the 'Sonic Spinball' accompanied by Abbi and Chenille who were equally as eager to ride the giant orange pinball-style rollercoaster. Between Jonathan's running commentary of the 'Up, up, up... AND DOWN!' rollercoaster and Laura's excited squeals of delight, the group left the ride and met with Lisa and Ella all in hysterics on a high from the first exhilarating ride.
After a little bit of persuasion from the staff, Ella decided that she would like to experience the 'Mutiny Bay Pirate Waltzers' so the group headed off for a walk around the stunning Alton Towers lake on a mission to show Ella the thrill of theme park rides. With Lisa, Ella and Jonathan in one waltzer and Laura, Abbi and Chenille in another, the group were ready for some serious spinning! As the ride sped up, Jonathan leant his head back whooshing round and round while both Ella and Laura could be heard squealing with delight as the ride span faster and faster! With a thirst for more excitement, Ella once again joined the rest of the group on the 'Runaway Mine Train' and over the whoops of excitement from other revellers, could be heard screaming 'I love this!'; it was a pleasure to see her enjoying herself after her initial fear of the unknown.
Due to the fact that the Alton Towers 'Sky Ride' was out of use for the day, the gang left the 'Mine Train' and headed off for a picturesque walk around the park on a mission to tackle some of the more terrifying rides. Taking a detour through the newly built Sea Life Centre, both Ella and Laura thoroughly enjoyed gazing at the huge tanks and clear waters full of brightly coloured fish, small sharks and smiling string rays.
On arrival at the 'Nemesis', unfortunately Laura didn't quite meet the height requirements, despite her insistence and determination to, but she took the initial disappointment well and happily involved herself in cheering and laughing along while Abbi and Chenille accompanied Jonathan on the huge rollercoaster. Jonathan sat with the biggest smile on his face as the barriers came down; locking the three of them in with nowhere to go but 'Up, up, up... AND DOWN!'. High on the buzz of riding one of Alton Towers classics, Lisa and Chenille took Jonathan for the final ride of the day on the notorious 'Air' to experience the butterflies of flying over the park! Underestimating just how close to flying they may actually be, Lisa decided that it was best to pop her glasses in her pocket for safe keeping! Laura and Ella sat and kept a close eye on everyone's belongings waiting to see if they could spot Jonathan, Lisa and Chenille on 'Air'. Though incredibly fast, Chenille's scream of 'Abbiiii...' as they went passed managed to raise an impressive amount of laughter from all involved!
Exhausted from excitement and with a few hungry tummies that needed filling, the group left the theme park giddy and fulfilled after an action-packed day and headed to a nearby pub. Here they enjoyed a feast of fish and chips and Laura's favourite 'big big burgers'! Lisa, Abbi, Chenille, Ella, Laura and Jonathan enjoyed a relaxed meal and drinks before returning to the car to embark on the journey home - serenaded as expected by Laura, satisfied and with fond memories of a fabulous day out!

by Pierre Lamielle and Julie Van Rosendaal
1 1/2 cup almond flour, packed
1/4 cup nut oil (almond, hazelnut or walnut)
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 cup filled with assorted unsalted nuts and seeds, chopped small. Here are are some excellent examples of nuts and seeds:
- pumpkin seeds, left whole
- sesame seeds, left whole
- walnuts, chopped
- hazelnuts, chopped
- sunflower seeds, left whole
serve with assorted cheese and cold cuts
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. To make your own almond flour, just blitz blanched, silvered almonds, in the food processor until they resemble fine sand, or buy it already ground.
2. Get a large bowl.
3. Combine all the ingredients in the bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until everything is thoroughly combined.
4. Get a large baking sheet ready.
5. Place a large sheet of parchment paper down on a counter.
6. Scoop out the ball of nut dough and place it in the centre of the parchment. Use your hands to flatten it out into a large rectangle. Place another piece of parchment on top and grab a rolling pin (or a wine bottle).
7. Use just a little pressure to roll out the dough starting in the middle and rolling up, then starting back in the middle and rolling down. Rotate and repeat.
8. Roll the dough to 1/8 inch thick all over and try to keep the edges from getting too crumbly.
9. Now slide the flat dough onto the baking sheet.
10. Remove the top piece of parchment. Before you bake, cut out the crackers using a round cookie cutter or a pizza cutter. FOr the cookie cutter cut out rounds and leave them where they lie with all the filler dough left untouched too. Or you could use a pizza cutter to cut squarish shapes.
11. Place the tray into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove form the oven and leave them to cool. They will become more cracker-like as they cool.
12. When cool keep the crackers in an airtight container for up to 10 days.

With the retirement of version 2 of ITIL, the Information Technology Infrastructure Library, organisations across all sectors are considering the implications of this change and whether they should think about a possible move to version 3. A reoccurring question is about not just the value of moving towards a V3 aligned approach, but also querying the overall value of the ITIL discipline itself.
There are many doubts regarding the Good Practice framework which is one of the most widely adopted worldwide, and it is not only the CEOs and financial directors who question its effectiveness, ROI and ability to deliver – even many CIOs, IT directors and unfortunately, in some instances, service management professionals themselves have started to look at ITIL with scepticism.
In this current climate of austerity, organisations are being extra cautious regarding their spending. This is leading both those who are considering the step up from V2 and those considering whether to start on the service management journey to wonder: what can V3 possibly add, and isn't ITIL overrated anyway?
Let's take the last question first. Like a lot of challenges within business, rather than deciding on a solution and then trying to relate everything back to it, look at what overall objective is and which issues need to be resolved. ITIL, which ever version you choose, is not a panacea. It won't fix everything, but it may be able to help if you take a pragmatic and realistic approach to activities.
ITIL's approach to implementation in the early days was described as "adopt and adapt" – an approach that still rings true even with V3. However, this appears to have fallen out of the vocabulary recently. Adopting all processes regardless of their relevance to the business and following them religiously will not add any value. Nor will implementing them without ensuring that there is awareness and buy-in across the organisation; treating implementation as a one-off project rather than a continuously evolving process or expecting the discipline to work on its without positioning it alongside the existing behaviours, culture, processes and structure in the organisation.
ITIL's contribution to an organisation is akin to raising children, where one asks oneself: is it nature or nurture that creates the well rounded individuals, and what parenting skills work best? You need to find the most compatible match, one that will in part depend on what that particular business wants from a Best Practice framework and if they really understand how it works. Do they want to be told what to do or find out what works and what doesn't and why, so they can learn from it?
All activities in a Best Practice framework have to be carefully selected and tailored in order to create some value. Moreover, adoption of tools and processes must be supported by an appropriate amount of education and awareness sessions, so that any involved staff, including senior management, will fully understand their purpose, usefulness and benefits and will therefore collaborate in producing successful results.
The other question raised by many organisations is: why should I move to V3 – isn't V2 perfectly fine? It is hard to come up with a perfect answer as there are a number of considerations to take into consideration, but in part it can come back to what the overall objective was for the business. Looking at the move from V2 to V3 as an evolution, a number of the key principles expanded on in V3 exist with V2, so there will be some organisations for whom the expanded areas relating to IT strategy and service transition are not core to their IT operation. However, the separation of request fulfilment from incident management and the focus on event management may lead an organisation to alter the way they deal with the day-to-day activity triggers into the IT department.
My personal view is that anything that helps organisations to communicate more effectively is a benefit. V3 provides more suggestions that can help with these objectives, as well as helping the IT department to operate with more of a service oriented approach, again something that can help cross the language gap between technology and business. V3 provides a lifecycle approach to IT service, recommending continual review and improvement at organisation level.
So, is V3 essential if you have already successfully adopted and adapted V2? For organisations that do not require maximum IT efficiency because IT is not strategic, V2 is probably enough to keep them doing well. For those that, instead, gain real competitive advantage from efficient IT, any improvement that can make their business outperform others in the market is one worth embracing.
As for all the organisations in the middle, a move to V3 is probably not essential in the immediate future – however, as publications and examinations are substituted to match the latest version, and the way in which their suppliers are providing service changes, it will soon become a necessary thing to do in order to keep up-to-date and in turn competitive within the market.

The Independence National Historical Park is one of the sites that aim to preserve memoirs related to the American Revolution. Also known as America's most historic square mile, this 55-acre park is often visited by locals and travelers for its abundance of landmarks. It is can be accessed by riding the city's transit from the Market-Frankford line going to the 5th street station.
Inside the Independence National Historical Park lies the Liberty Bell, an important symbol in American Independence. It was bespoke from London and cast with inscriptions referring to a part of Leviticus 25:10, which talks about liberty. Since 1885, the city's local government allowed the bell to be taken to numerous patriotic assemblies and expositions, making it more popular through the years.
The centerpiece of the Independence National Historical Park is the Independence Hall. It was completed in 1753 and was used during the Declaration of Independence. Because of the various important political events that happened in this hall, it was declared as one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites and serves as an emblem to promote universal respect for culture and justice.
With more than 227,000 world-class collections of artistic items, the Museum of Art is considered among the grandest and largest art museums in the US. It is located at the west end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and also keeps more than 200,000 books and other reading materials. Every year, more than 25 special exhibitions are showcased in the museum that draws many spectators within Philly and from other states.
The former American prison of the Eastern State is famous for holding some of the notorious criminals recorded in history. Among the famous offenders confined here are Al Capone and Willie Sutton. Though it was considered the most expensive public edifice ever built, it was used as a pattern by most prisons even outside the US as it can house more than 300 prisoners.
If you think that history can only be found inside the Independence Park, you might be surprised to know that Philly also has a very historical zoo. The first American Zoo was established here and was named after the city itself. It is a place where families can gather and see wild, extinct and other local animals or even adopt some of them. Apart from communing with the animals, there are lots of gardens and exhibitions to enjoy, too.
The Reading Terminal Market is not your ordinary farmer's market. If you're up for a gastronomic trip of freshly prepared delicacies, snacks, meals and breads, this place is for you. You can also see fresh flowers and kitchenware inside so if you're planning to take your mom to a date that she will truly enjoy, hop into a bus or drive your car down the Reading Terminal Market.
Originally intended for kids seven years old and younger, this museum has grown into a great facility both for children and adults. It was initially called the Academy of Natural Sciences, but later on renamed as they moved. The museum aims to help under-resourced families and hosts lots of programs and plays. Some of the attractions in the museum are the Walking Piano, the Woodside Park carousel and the Alice in Wonderland play area.
According to legend, Betsy Ross was the lady who made the first American Flag. In honor of her, the people of the United States observe the Flag Day every 14th of June. To mark this event, the Betsy Ross House is given tribute by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and raising the national flag on its roof.
The Franklin Square is a public space that is perfect for outgoing families who want to jog, stroll, bike, play or relax. It is one of the city's five original squares and is open daily from 6:00 AM until 9:00 PM. Apart from walking around the lovely park, there's also an 18-hole mini golf here that both children and adults can enjoy.

An Opportunity To Play Around with CentOS
One of the personal projects that I've always had itching away at the back of my mind was the urge to revamp my home network monitoring and security. One of the tools that I love using for network monitoring is Xymon. However, this gives me an opportunity to do things slightly different. I have decided to give CentOS a go instead of my typical choice of Debian for a Linux distro in a server environment. I am curious to see what advancements have been made in the RPM world, and I'd like to keep my Red Hat skills up to date. What better way to do so than to set up a CentOS server with some production tools and services on it :)
Pre-installation Setup
So here we are, I have the CentOS Netinst (Net Install) image loaded into a VM, and I boot up the guest.
Since this is a fresh install on a 20GB virtual disk, I'm going to select "Install or upgrade an existing system" here.
I press "enter" and lots of console logging and scrolling action takes place.
Eventually I am prompted to "test the media". Usually this is referring to a physical CD typically used to install the OS on a physical server. To me the phrasing feels a bit antiquated in this day of cloud services.
In any case, I still say yes, hoping that it will catch any errors in the ISO image file before I run into a bug during the installation process. Better safe than sorry.
After the virtual disk is "successfully verified" to be OK, I try to move forward with the installation.
Be sure to note that after your virtual disk is verified OK, that the installer may decide to eject your CD media, in order to give you an opportunity to test other media.
Since I have no other media to test, this is actually kind of annoying. In order to continue with the installation, I have to go into the VM settings and re-connect the CDROM to the VM.
Select your language and keyboard options if the defaults are not suitable. Otherwise, just move past these dialogues by selecting "OK", or hitting enter.
When you are asked "What type of media contains the installation image?", select "URL".
At this stage you will be asked about your TCP/IP configuration settings. If you have DHCP services on your network, select "Dynamic IP Configuration", or configure your network settings manually.
The installer will eventually ask you for the URL containing the CentOS installation image. Select the URL from this list. Select a mirror that is closest to your geographical location in order to benefit from faster download times.
If the installer retrieves the installation image successfully, you will be presented with the welcome note in the following screen:
CentOS Installation
If you are installing CentOS on to a VM (in a virtualized environment), you may come across a nasty error like the following:
This "Error processing drive" shows up because the installer is detecting a drive with no valid partition table. This is expected, since there was no OS previously installed on this VM. After you have confirmed that this is the physical or virtual disk you want to use, select "Re-initialize" to format the disk for installation of CentOS.
After you have initialized your disk, select the time-zone that you want the guest to be running on. Many system administrators may want to set this to their local time-zone. In this case, because this will be a server running at home, I will do the same. However in a professional environment, I would try to keep all my server time-zones set to UTC, as it makes life much easier when trying to analyse and compare log files across multiple hosts in different time-zones.
You will then be asked to specify a root password. Make sure its a good one.
After you specify your root password, you will be prompted with a question on how you would like to organize your hard-drive partitions. In my case, since this is a VM, I plan to use the entire virtual disk, and let CentOS apply default partition settings automatically.
At this point, the installation process beings installing files to disk.
And if all goes well and all files are installed successfully..
Post-Installation: Initial CentOS Configuration
After you reboot the VM, CentOS will start-up, and you will be presented with the following login prompt:
Log in with the root password you had specified earlier in the installation.
You should be able to log in as root successfully, and do some quick checks to make sure everything is as expected for your hard-disk utilization.
Since I would like to start accessing this VM via SSH for ongoing maintenance, the first thing I want to do is confirm that the SSH service is installed and running, and if it isn't I need to get it up and running.
With regard to SSH, I noticed is that CentOS comes with an inverse default installation contrary to a typical modern Debian install. In Debian the SSH client is installed by default, and the SSH service usually needs to be specified explicitly for installation by the administrator.
In CentOS, the SSH service comes installed by default, and the administrator has to explicitly install an SSH client for out-going connections. I must say that from a security and best practices standpoint, I agree more with the Debian way of doing things.
However I understand why the CentOS team did it this way. One of the the first things I do when when install a new system is get the SSH service up and running so that I can get back to my desk and configure the rest of the system from there. It's a convenience thing.
Since an SSH service is already installed, I can move on to creating a user account so that I'm not always logging into the VM as root.
There are still a few things you may want to check before you decide to call it a day..
Network Configuration
There is the possibility that you may have selected an incorrect virtual network adapter configuration. For example, you may have chosen to configure a "Bridged Network" which allows your adapter to have an IP on the external network.
Or, you may have selected a "NAT" configuration which puts your network adapter on a private virtual segment, which means your VM would not be reachable from the external network.
If you decided on a networking type that you had to change later on, after the installation of CentOS was completed, then you will likely cause a problem with the network adapter configuration INSIDE of the guest VM. Essentially your VMs network configuration will break.
Updating udev Rules
You can fix this by updating the appropriate udev rules as follows:
The '70-persistent-net.rules' file will need to be updated with the MAC address of the newest network adaptor connected to the system. If this file is not updated with the correct MAC address for the virtual adapter currently connected to your VM, your network adapter will not work.
Ensure that you are editing the correct device (in this case, "eth0") when making modifications to this file. Remove older duplicate entries from this file when possible to keep it clean.
DHCP Considerations
If you have DHCP configured on your network, you may want to make some changes. I use a static DHCP configuration, which means that each physical or virtual host on my network is assigned a specific IP address which is served up to them via DHCP. In my case, I would need to update my dhcpd.conf on the DHCPD server to add an entry for the MAC address that was generated for the new VM on my network.
Finishing Up
VMware Tools
If you are using a VMware VM, then the first thing you want to do is install VMware tools, which gives you a bit more control over the performance of the VM.
CentOS Software Updates
Before installing service software (apache, mysql, etc.), you may want to update your CentOS installation with the latest bug-fixes and patches.
Finally, my fresh new CentOS 6.4 VM is ready for services to be installed. In my next post, I'll detail the process of downloading, installing and configuring Xymon for use on this VM.

Tea at the Houses of Parliament
This summer, for the first time, plebs will be permitted to take tea in the Palace of Westminster. The constitutional cuppas are an add-on to the excellent 75-minute tours offered by Blue Badge guides on Saturdays throughout the year and on weekdays during the summer opening period when Parliament is in recess.
The tours start by following the route taken by the Queen at the State Opening of Parliament and include a peek at both the Commons and Lords chambers as well as the Central Lobby, Members' Lobby and the 900-year-old Westminster Hall. They're richly anecdotal and strongly recommended.
We're not in a position to vouch for the tea, but the menu encompasses both traditional offerings (egg mayo or smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches) and Monster Raving Loony Party-style concoctions (lemon curd and chive on a mini bagel). At £25 on top of the cost of the tour, it doesn't come cheap. But formal afternoon tea tends to be pricy wherever you get it; it's a luxury meal, a bit of fun, rather than a source of nutrients or energy. And the setting for this particular repast is rather special: the Pugin Room in the House of Commons, which comes complete with views across the Thames and maybe even a whiff of political intrigue.
Tea tours must booked by phone: 0844 847 1672.

After our guided tour or parliament (which was well worth the visit), we were quite excited to sit in the House of Commons and enjoy high tea on the Thames. However it was not what we expected... It took ages for us to get served, then the tea came out lukewarm (which we all know is horrible when having high tea) and there was limited food between the 3 of us. I've done loads of High Tea's in the past and was quite disappointing with my overall experience. Once they served us, no one came up to ask if we needed anything, were ok etc.... which I believe is quite important throughout a 2 hr sitting. For £29 they should really should have more food and be a little more attentive.
terrible and difficult to book
prices are too high

The CFA level 3 exam has one major difference from the first two exams. The morning portion of the exam is written or structured response. I like structured response better so I am going to use that term. The previous exams were all multiple choice. With over 2,000 pages of curriculum to learn, the constructed response portion of the exam can be challenging. With multiple choice questions, you can usually have your memory jarred by looking at the answers or at the very least you have an opportunity to guess correctly. With a blank page staring at you, there are no such luxuries.
A few days before I sat for the CFA level 3 exam, I began to panic a bit. My responses for the structured response section of the exam were not quite matching up with what the CFA institute was looking for. The CFA Institute provides level 3 candidates with the constructed response portions for the past three years along with their guideline answers to them.
I used these as an opportunity to test myself by completing the questions and then looking at the guideline answers to see how I did. I had finished the 2013 and 2014 tests when I realized I was not doing as well as I should be. Even more troubling was the fact that I was taking way too long to answer the questions. Each question states the number of minutes it should take to answer the question. The number of minutes also corresponds to the number of points the question is worth on the exam. I was finishing most questions 10-25% over the allotted time. A guaranteed way to miss a question is to not even answer it. If I ran out of time before answering all of the questions my chances would be seriously diminished. I had to get better.
I started to look for solutions to my problem. I finally settled on Irfanullah Financial Training's (IFT) Final Review which was on sale for only $99. I signed up and started watching his videos. He basically takes the most relevant constructed response questions dating back as far as 2009 and goes over all the topics you are likely to see on your exam. These videos have a few features that make them especially helpful. First, you can break them into bite-sized lessons. Each question is its own stand alone video ranging between 4-20 minutes long. The other great feature is that you can speed the videos up to 1.5x or 2x the normal speed. This enabled me to watch these videos over and over again during my last few days of preparation.
While I was testing, I was becoming more and more confident as the test wore on. I have no idea whether I passed or not. However, I feel like I did well. I was euphoric when I completed the final constructed response question while they were announcing that there were 30 minutes remaining.
30 minutes remaining! I just finished 15% under time. I was able to go back through and improve some of my answers and even correct a few careless mistakes I found. The other thing I noticed, especially when the 15 minutes remaining announcement was made was the tension in the air around me. The sound of pencils and pens scribbling furiously all around me was intense. When the proctors finally called time I felt like yelling out loud and giving high-fives to everyone around me.
I am not so sure if I would have done as well, had I not binged watched IFT's Final Review videos ad-nauseam. Like I already mentioned, I don't really know if I passed for certain or not, but I feel fairly confident. The final verdict: Irfanullah Financial Training's Level 3 Final Review was money well spent. My biggest regret is that I did not buy this product sooner.
Note: I get absolutely nothing for praising IFT's products or any other products I mention here or anywhere else on this blog.

Local news reports
From the complaint:
When officers pointed out the inconsistencies in his statement, Pickering said that he would give officers "the honest story". He said that he had taken his children for a ride with the lawn mower and that after he returned home a girl came to the front door and threatened him. He said that the girl confronted him about trespassing and said that if she saw him back on the property she was going to take action. Pickering said that he then went over to the house and knelt down by a pine tree "... and I waited, and I waited, and I waited." He said that after 15 to 20 minutes the front door opened and the girl came out and that he shot her. He said that he shot twice from a distance of 15 to 25 yards. Pickering stated that after the first shot the girl said "Oh God" and dropped down, and that he then shot her again. He said that he was very upset with the girl coming to his house and that he had a lot of thoughts racing through his mind as he was walking towards her home. When asked about the confrontation at his home, Pickering said that his family had not been directly threatened by her. He said that he was upset with the girl, and said that she was a "bitch".Pickering's Facebook page reveals a man who loved guns and may have been struggling with PTSD.

Yelling at the Vegetables
These words have been smelling salts to the drowsy.
But when white activists take the same tone with other white people, does it have the same value? And increasingly, I see essays that are just that: white people angry, shocked, disappointed and impatient with other white people who are insufficiently down with the cause.
I ask: by what authority?
As a white activist struggling with white people against white racism, you are going to run into three types of white people.
You are going to run into people who implacably opposed to this movement. Unless you already love them because they are like family, let them go and move on. Why waste your time?
You are going to run into people who are ready to step up. What do they need? They may need a little information, or to be hooked up with some activists, or a little encouragement. Of course, they need some education. You do, too. So, organize them.
But mostly, you are going to run into people who have not yet seriously engaged with the issue of white racism. Their thinking is within the bounds of conventional thinking; they don't know the history; they accept without thinking the perspectives that their privilege affords them. They have not decided yet whether to support or oppose this movement. They are uncommitted. Hey, they look and sound like you six months ago, or a year ago. So, your role is to engage, organize and educate them. If not you, who else? After all, somebody organized you.
But, you have no authority to be angry with them. You're not Martin Luther King, Jr. sitting in the Birmingham jail.
After all, if the white people who are frustrating are so unchangeably committed to white racism that they make you angry, you should probably just move on.
If you are a gardener, you pull up the weeds, pick the crops that are ripe and cultivate and feed the fruits and vegetables not yet ready for harvest. No gardener yells at their unripe vegetables.

Antarctica can be conveniently divided into three regions. The 2000-kilometer Transantarctic Mountains are a rugged boundary separating the continent into a large sector in the eastern hemisphere, called East Antarctica, and a smaller sector in the western hemisphere, called West Antarctica. The Antarctic Peninsula is the farthest northward region of Antarctica and is primarily a second mountain range.
The shape of the ice sheet is complex, resulting from the amount of snow that falls, the rate at which it flows back toward the ocean, and the shape of the underlying bed. The ground beneath the Antarctic ice sheet is a mixture of mountains, plains, and ocean basins. The tallest mountains extend above the ice sheet. The highest mountain summit is the Vinson Massif at 4,897 meters above sea level. The deepest known ice rests 2,555 meters below sea level, where the ice is over 4 kilometers thick.
The force of gravity exerts sufficient force on the ice that the ice sheet moves. The highest elevation ice is in the interior despite precipitation rates of less than one inch per year. This ice is very cold and slow. Flow rates increase toward the coast as faster moving (more than 100 meters per year) glaciers are formed. Some glaciers flow directly into the ocean while others join to form large, thick floating ice shelves. The Pine Island Glacier, flowing at over 10,000 feet per year, is believed to be the fastest Antarctic glacier. And the largest ice shelf is the Ross Ice Shelf, roughly the size of Texas.

Map of bike paths / walking paths in the Bloomington area
Recreational trails for walking & cycling in Bloomington & Normal, Illinois
Bloomington and Normal are located in McClean County about 25 miles southeast of Peoria in Central Illinois. These cities are home to Illinois Wesleyan University and Illinois State University.
The cities have a number of lengthy recreational trails for walking, bike riding and running. Some of these trails are rail trails that were constructed along abandoned railroad right-of-ways. There are also many parks with large numbers of walking paths.
Constitution Trail
The recreational trail system in Bloomington and Normal is known as the Constitution Trail and has over 37-miles of paved pathways. There are several separate sections of trail within the system.
The Southtown section of the Constitution Trail consists of three separate sections of trail on the south side of the city. The west end of the Southtown section is located at the north end of the Route 66 section at Fox Creek Road, just west of Interstate 74. This section stretches east to S. Main Street at the southwest corner of State Farm Park. Another short stretch of the wider trail is located along Hamilton Road on the south side of the park.
The eastern section of the Southtown section starts at Hamilton Road and Commerce Parkway. The trail follows alongside Hamilton Road to the east. At the east side of State Farm Plaza, the trail heads to the north going past Brookridge Park. The trail turns back east at E. Lincoln Street. The west end of the Southtown section is located at Streid Drive and White Eagle Drive.
The Interurban section is a 4.8-mile paved trail located on the west side of town. The west end is located at E 1400 North Road, just west of the intersection with County Road 1100 E. The trail heads to the southeast from this point. There is a jog in the trail where it goes under Interstate 74. The trail follows alongside W. Washington Street for one mile then it takes another jog to go over the railroad tracks on a bridge.
The Interurban section skirts the south side of the Downtown Bloomington area and ends at E. Lincoln Street and S. Clayton Street.
The Northtown section is a 1.5-mile paved path located in the community of Normal on the north side of Bloomington. The trail follows alongside Northtown Road then cuts through a residential neighborhood to Pipeline Road. The north end is located at N. Bridge Drive.
Illinois Central
The Illinois Central section of the Constitution Trail is a 6.5-mile long paved path that crosses through the north part of Bloomington and across all of Normal. The south end of the Illinois Central section is located at Croxton Avenue, just east of Bunn Street.
The Illinois Central section then heads to the north going near the Illinois Wesleyan University campus. South of E. Vernon Avenue the Bloomer Line section heads off to the east. The Illinois Central section takes a couple of jogs near Normal City Hall and goes around Uptown Circle. This location is just east of Illinois State University. The Collegiate section of the Constitution Trail heads off toward the campus at this location as well.
The Illinois Central section goes under Interstate 55 and stops at W. Ziebarth Road to the east of Main Street.
Bloomer Line
The Bloomer Line section is a 4.5-mile long paved section that is located on the southeast side of Normal. The west end of the trail is at the intersection with the Illinois Central section. This point is located south of E. Vernon Avenue near Underwood Park. The trail goes past Colene Hoose Elementary School. The trail goes under Veterans Parkway to the north of General Electric Road. The trail goes past General Electric Park and connects to the trails at Tipton Park.
The east end of the Bloomer Line section is located at County road 1500 N and County Road 1900 E.
Route 66
The Route 66 section of the Constitution Trail is a 3.7-mile long paved pathway located on the south side of Bloomington. The trail follows alongside the Historic Route 66 road. The south end of the Route 66 section is located in the community of Shirley, south of the intersection with E. 850 North Road. The north end of the trail is located at Fox Creek Road.
The Collegiate section is located near the Illinois State University campus in Normal. The trail zig zags through the campus then heads north past Fairview Park. The northwest end of the Colligiate section is located on County Road 1700 N near Heartland Community College.

Building on 14 years of running major successful events in the games industry, including several live-pitching events, selection processes and support systems, Nordic Game is introducing the Discovery Contest (NGDC) – an exciting, competitive challenge, where selected game projects are showcased at live-pitch events in several countries.
Nordic Game Discovery Contest tour
The Nordic Game Discovery Contest debuted at the Day Zero pre-event of the Northern Game Summit (6-7 October 2016) in Kajaani, Finland. The competition continued at Konsoll 2016 in Bergen, Norway and at Sweden Game Conference in Skövde, Sweden.
In 2017, the NGDC tour includes the following events:
Reboot, 20-22 April, Dubrovnik, Croatia
Nordic Game Jam, 21 April, Copenhagen, Denmark
Quo Vadis, 24-26 April, Berlin, Germany
Winners from Kajaani, Bergen and Skövde (as well as following stops on the premiere NGDC tour) will earn a place in the NGDC Finals at Nordic Game 2017, 17-19 May in Malmö, Sweden.
The most recent regional winners (and NGDC finalists) include Ocmo by Team Ocmo, Space Krieg by We Heart Dragons and VR The Diner Duo by Whirlybird Games, as well as PapAR from Crunch Studio and Lost Words by Sketchbook Games and finally, We Are Muesli with their unique, cooperative action-puzzle game SIHEYU4N.
NGDC Finals wild card submissions
The two remaining seats for this year's NGDC Finals have been chosen from last month's online wild card submissions. The winners (and NGDC finalists) are Cape Copenhagen with The Gentleman and Tunnel Vision Games with See You On the Other Side.
NGDC Finals at Nordic Game 2017
The Nordic Game Discovery Contest Finals at NG17 will consist of two semi-finals and one grand final, 17-19 May. In all three stages, participants will go on stage, pitch their games for five minutes and answer questions from an expert panel for five minutes.
Each participant will battle their way through the semi-finals, held on Wednesday, 17 May and Thursday, 18 May respectively (participants will be notified which day they are scheduled for). Game pitches in the top two of each semi-final will win a seat in the grand final, which takes place on Friday, 19 May at 14:00 in the main theatre of NG17.
NGDC finalists, top L to R: Lost Words, OCMO, PapAR, See You On the Other Side. Bottom L to R: SIHEYU4N, Space Krieg, The Gentleman, VR The Diner Duo.
In the NGDC grand final, participants will pitch their games in front of the NG17 audience and NGDC Finals jury, among them legendary Japanese game designer Fumito Ueda.
The winner, to be revealed during the NG17 wrap-up session on Friday, 19 May, will be declared Nordic Game Discovery Contest "Game of the Year" and be awarded guaranteed coverage/interviews with media outlets such as GamesIndustry.biz and VentureBeat, a free booth at the EGX Festival in September (the UK's biggest game event), a free pass to NG18 next year and… a very special prize from our friends at GTR, to be announced at the winner ceremony.

The moral of the story holds in product management and life. Don't be a perfectionist. Often, "good enough" is all you need to win the order and beat the competition. In fact, being "perfect" may cause expensive delays and actually burden your products with unwanted features which few are willing to pay for. In this day of scarce resources and money, a good product manager or strategist knows what "good enough" is.
"Good enough" does change over time as technology, needs, and expectations evolve so it does not mean that you can be complacent.. That's what product updates or upgrades are for - and serve as a good, potential revenue generator.
There are 2 applicable rules or laws which govern "Good Enough":
80/20 Rule (Pareto's Principle)
Learn how to apply the "80/20"rule in life. Twenty percent of your work will be responsible for eighty percent of your results, so focus 80 percent of your time and energy on the 20 percent of your work that is really important. Likewise, in business, roughly twenty percent of your customers will bring in approximately eighty percent of your revenue or profit – so focus on being "good enough" for them as a priority.
The Law of Diminishing Returns
Obey the "law of diminishing returns" - to continue after a certain level of performance has been reached will result in a decline in effectiveness. This is called "bang for the buck" – you need to move on to bigger and better things. In fact, disobeying the law has dire and unwanted consequences. Think of Bruce Jenner, Michael Jackson, and all the celebrities who continued to add plastic surgery? Or a teenager who messes with a zit. At some point, they overdid it and arguably got the opposite results that they intended.
So don't be "Mr. or Mrs. Perfect". Know when "Good Enough" is, well, "Good Enough".

Heartless by Marissa Meyer
I wanted more.
Sad, but true.
I'm left feeling like the end was the best part, and all the rest leading up to it kinda fell flat for me. Let me clarify though, this is still a good read. Just not what I thought it would be.
I wanted to read a story about the Queen of Hearts, and while it was, it was actually more of a love story for most of it. Not what I wanted at all. She may have been the Queen of Hearts, but she was far from lovable in the original. To have a retelling with her so sweet it made my teeth hurt.
Still, the love story drew me in and was well-written in typical Meyer fashion.
Was it the best Wonderland adaption I've read? No, but it was good. The world she drew fell between the olden days and a mystical, magical land that we know Wonderland to be. The characters were just like in the original Wonderland story, though maybe a bit more vividly.
All in all, I would read another if it came out. Just putting that out there...
Fans of Marissa Meyer best make sure not to go in expecting too much. Not every story can be a five star story, so remember that.

Most of the photos on this blog will be taken by my DSLR Canon 550D, given to me as an engagement gift from the wonderful Mr Cookie Loves Milk. But before the days of the DSLR, I had two point and shoots, both Sony Cybershots, which have served me quite well. I still use one of them from time to time when it is inconvenient to carry around the SLR.
I have a few lenses for the 550D, but usually just end up using the kit lens.
Most of my photos are pretty much straight out of the camera, bar resizing. I also use photoshop, but probably not as well as I should be in this digital age. I'm not really computer-savvy so I normally just use photoshop to resize images and straighten up my photos, incidentally always 2 degrees anti-clockwise… maybe my head is slanted so I don't see things straight. I will definitely never be the type of person who straightens up pictures hanging on the wall by sight because I probably don't even notice it's crooked! I will occasionally crop a little or tweak levels a little, but that's about as far as my skills extend. I would love to me one of those awesome people who can totally transform (ie. make better) an image but I know I'll never be that person so I'll leave that to others (I'm looking at you Mr Cookie Loves Milk!)
