#NaNoWriMo - Breaking the Transhuman Apocalyptic Singularity Filter BubbleSubmitted by Aldon Hynes on Sat, 10/19/2013 - 17:06
We are less than two weeks away from the beginning of National Novel Writing Month, #NaNoWriMo. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. Just straight through writing. You can save the editing for later.
The first year I did NaNoWriMo, I wrote a mystery in Second Life, and made the goal of 50,000 words. Subsequent years, I've started off on story ideas that were not clearly thought out enough, were too close to home, or I just didn't have the time. I've tried various variations on NaNoWriMo and am preparing for this year's attempt.
I've been thinking of writing some sort of psychological political philosophical treatise pulling together thoughts on aesthetics, politics, the genome, the biome, great awakenings, transcendentalism, transhumanism, the apocalypse, the singularity, social constructs and social contracts, neural networks, group therapy, attachment therapy, filter bubbles and a bunch of other ideas.
The starting point I've settled on is a campaign for State Representative. I will draw from my experiences running for State Representative last year, as well as experiences with other political campaigns, but I need to remind everyone that what I'll be writing is fiction, trying to weave together a lot of different ideas. If you find that a character sounds a lot like you, attribute it to good writing and not being a commentary on you. If you have ideas you want to share, make them about ideas and not your thoughts about different people.
With that, here is the general idea: In a fictional district, based loosely on the area I am from, there is a long time incumbent State Rep. His twin brother is a mayor in one of the towns in the district. His father was a Congressman. No one wants to run against the incumbent, so a political philosopher decides to run, but a completely different kind of campaign. No lawn signs, door knocking, palm cards,, advertisements, or any of that sort of stuff. Just discussions. Discussions about anything and everything. Discussions aimed at bring people with different viewpoints together, modeled on Chicago dinners, and aimed at breaking filter bubbles.
One of the towns in the district is a suburb where many college professors live, so there are lots of chances to talk about the genome, the biome, social contracts and social constructs.
I have a lot more ideas built into this, but I'll save some of them for November. Now, here's my ask: what sort of things would you like to talk about at a filter breaking dinner discussion organized by a long shot candidate for state representative? What points would you like to see gotten across? What conflicts would you expect?
As you can see by my comments about transhumanism, singularity, and the apocalypse, this is wide open. Let me know your thoughts!
Smoke on the WaterSubmitted by Aldon Hynes on Sun, 12/04/2011 - 19:04
(While National Novel Writing Month has passed, I've written the following in the style I was exploring during the month. While it is based on my general recollections of junior high school, I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the memories.)
It was about forty years ago that I went to my first junior high school dance. It was around the time that my parents were breaking up and my mother drove me in old green Chevy pick up truck to the regional high school. With anticipation and apprehension, I dressed up in some nice school clothes. I didn't have any fancy clothes to speak of, it wasn't a fancy sort of dance, and I probably would have felt even more awkward if I had to where something nice. My older brothers, already in high school, and having been to various school dances made snide comments, and my younger sister, still in elementary school and a Partridge Family fan wanted to find some way that she could go on such a grand adventure. My mother sensed my uneasiness at the event, and told her to stay home as she drove me to the dance.
Back then, I was a nerd, before it was cool to be a nerd. I enjoyed talking about academic subjects, especially math. I had gone from playing clarinet in the school band to alto clarinet, on a journey that would lead me to saxophone, bagpipes, and any other instrument I could get my hands on. Yet actually performing, or for that matter, sufficiently practicing the clarinet, was something that terrified me, almost as much as talking to a girl, or letter her know that I liked her.
The drive to the school was a little over seven miles. It was fifteen minutes of just me and my mother. She tried to get me to talk about who would be there. I mentioned some of the boys that I thought would probably be there, but didn't mention any of the girls, especially not mentioning the girls I thought were cute or hoped to dance with.
Like so many school dances, this one took place in the gymnasium. The room wax dark and decorated with crepe paper. Up near the front of the gym, the band was set up at the east end. I walked around a little the large room for a little bit to try and find my friends. Like all the boys, they were on the north side of the gym. We stood around and looked timidly across the floor to the south side where the girls were gathered in similar clusters. Some of the more popular and self possessed kids took to the dance floor. They seemed to be having a good time, and I longed to join.
We did not listen to much music at our house. There was an old radio in the corner of the kitchen that we would listen to on snowy mornings to hear if there was a school cancellation. We eventually got a small record player and we listened to records we checked out of the town library. My sister purchased a single or two, and it seemed like there would be weeks on end that I heard "If you're going to San Francisco…" playing over and over on the record player.
I remember listening to the Beatles when we checked out one of there albums and I would mangle Hey Jude, horribly. Some of my neighbors, older boys that were closer friends with my brothers and played in one of the many typical high school bands, would endlessly try to get me to sing Hey Jude a little better, but I just couldn't tell what I was doing wrong. I also listened to a bit of Simon & Garfunkel. "I am a rock" seemed to capture my social abilities of the time.
At the dance, there would be various songs that the band would play that would encourage me to ask a girl to dance. When "She was just seventeen" came on, my heart would go boom as I crossed the room to ask one of the girls to dance. I would be terrified that they would say no, and perhaps even more terrified that they would say yes. Yet instead of dancing through the night, we would dance one dance, and then awkwardly exchange niceties before retreating back to our respective sides of the gym.
Another song that I really liked to dance at in those says was "Smoke on the Water". I didn't know what the words were. I just recognized the four measure riff and anticipated singing along to the chorus, "Smoke on the water, fire in the sky". When the familiar opening chords were played, I would walk across the floor and try to get someone to dance with me. I was more comfortable with this song. I could simply enjoy dancing to it, without worrying about everyone looking at me or what my partner might be thinking.
When the dance was over, my mother would pick me up in the green pickup truck for the long fifteen minute drive home. She would ask if I had fun and whom I danced with. I would mumble about having had a good time and maybe name a girl or two that I danced with.
The days have passed and my two eldest daughters have been through their school dances. Perhaps I was projecting, but it seemed like Mairead's experiences at school dances mirrored my own. Miranda seemed to have a much better time at the dances and would be much more talkative afterwards.
All of these memories come to mind, as I visited a blog I enjoy today. The Modern Historian has blog posts about things that have happened this day in history. Today is the fortieth anniversary of the Montreux Casino fire in 1971 that smoke on the water is all about.
Instead of looking for the old grey portable record player we had as a kid, I typed "Smoke on the Water" into Spotify and listened to the original, as well as a bunch of interesting covers of it, from a workout video to a bagpipe cover.
The Experimental Memoir - Day 27Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Sun, 11/27/2011 - 21:20
It was a foggy grey morning as I tried to get out of bed. Assorted aches and pains made it hard to get going and I was rushed when I finally got up. Our dog Wesley was playing outside. The neighbors' dog, Avery had come over and the two were playing. This morning, a third dog was in the yard, an English Mastiff belonging to some other neighbors. I showered quickly and headed off to church.
On the way, I listened to a segment on the radio about a man who had lost most of his short term and long term memory. He had been an accomplished musician and researchers ran a set of experiments to find that while his ability to remember many things had been drastically diminished, his ability to remember music was only slightly impaired. They spoke about using this to help him put back together parts of his life, such as musical reminders to take medication or musical associations with certain people. This made me think of Peter and the wolf.
For the past month, I've been writing a lot about memory. I haven't talked so much about remembering things other than words, events and facts, other that a brief literary reference to remembering a Madeleine. I've spoken about how people have complemented me on my memory and asked if I had a photographic memory. In many things, I do have a strong memory of facts and events, but my memory is not photographic, and I've had difficulties memorizing things by rote.
Musical themes are a different type of memory. They come back at odd times. The playful theme from Peter in the Wolf comes back to me as I write this. There is a song, by David Mallett that comes to mind as I write this as well. It starts off
I knew this place, I knew it well,
Every sound and every smell
The song leads me to another song, Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer's "Gentle Arms Of Eden". The sounds and smells as memories of home.
One year, my spring term in college started on the Monday after Easter. I rode with some classmates from Connecticut out to Ohio. We stopped at lunch for our Easter Dinner, surrounded by truckers at a truckstop in the middle of Pennsylvania. I remember the colored Easter Egg that came with the meal. It was the first time I had dinner on a major holiday away from home. It seemed somehow bleak; incomplete.
My mind wandered to Easters at home. The small colored wicker basket filled with artificial green plastic grass, on which were placed various candies. I remembered one Easter when while we were at Church, our big white Samoyed dog, got into the basket. When we got home, he was multicolored in many pastels shades. It was disappointing to lose the candy, but it was funny as well. I thought that perhaps what was missing at the truckstop was the familial, but I now think there was something else missing.
Years later, Kim and I spent our first Thanksgiving together. We had been dating for about five months. Half way through that time, Kim's mother passed away after a long battle with cancer. No one seemed up for the big traditional Thanksgiving gathering at Kim's grandparent's house. Kim and I went up to New Hampshire and had a nice Thanksgiving dinner at an Inn in Vermont. The food was very good, but there was also something missing there. In that case, what was missed most was Kim's mother and the big family gathering around her. Yet there was also something else.
It came home to me this Thanksgiving. Kim's parents had just returned from a trip abroad, and were not up for Thanksgiving dinner there. So, we had Thanksgiving dinner at a small local diner. This is a diner that Kim's family has gone to for ages, and is one of the first places Fiona ate out at, as well as being the place she has probably gone out to eat more often than any other place.
The dinner was good; nothing to complain about but nothing to rave about either. Again, something was missing. I didn't realize what it was until we had home baked Thanksgiving dinner a couple days later. Walking in the house, you were overwhelmed by the smell of the turkey that had been baking in the oven for hours, mixed with the whiff of pumpkin pies that had been baked earlier. Memories are more than just thoughts and words. They are sounds and smells.
At dinner this evening, I spoke with Fiona about music. We talked about key signatures and time signatures. We looked at staves and notes and talked about their names.
Five Kernels of CornSubmitted by Aldon Hynes on Sat, 11/26/2011 - 10:37
(For those just joining in, this month I've been writing an experimental memoir as part of National Novel Writing Month. Today's entry includes political commentary so I'm sharing it more broadly.)
It was a period of prosperity and protest. I would sit in the hard wood pews of the big white First Congregational Church and look out over the quad to the student union of an ivy league college. It was the world I grew up in. In the evenings, on our small black and white television, we would hear Walter Cronkite tell his viewers how many U.S. troops had died in Vietnam that day. A few years later, he would be telling us about how many U.S. students had died in the United States protesting that war. Yet Vietnam and Kent State were worlds away to an elementary school kid raised by fairly conservative parents.
We were still going to church in those days. My mother would bake bread for communion. This was the Protestant style of communion, with grape juice in little shot glasses and small cubes of bread my mother had baked. Years later, my father left the church because of its opposition to the war in Vietnam. He had a square peace sign on the back of his truck proclaiming Peace thru Victory and had supported Barry Goldwater.
At Thanksgiving, we would sign hymns, like "Now thank we all our God, with heart and hand and voices". We would sing about gathering together to ask the Lord's blessing. On our way home, we would sign about going to Grandmother's house, even though there were no snowy woods to go through.
It was a world of Robert Frost and Norman Rockwell. It was a world where the pilgrims looked large, and many could trace their families back to the early days of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Traditions were strong and important. We were not like the well off families living in town. We lived up on the top of Henderson Road, a ride from town. Later, it would make it more difficult taking the late bus home from band, which would drop me off a mile and a half from my house. I would wear cast off clothing, from older brothers or friends in the church with older kids. We would shop the Women's Exchange for used clothes for the kids and at factory outlets that were really part of an old factory, and not a trendy shopping mall.
Kids used to make fun of me for what I wore, but that too, just seemed like part of daily life.
At Halloween, we would dress up in whatever costumes my mother could make and visit our neighbors. Several were elderly and it was an important time for them to have visitors. I kept trick or treating for years, partly just because I knew it was important, and I would sit down and talk with them as they offered me an apple. At some point we started trick or treating for Unicef. Living on a poor section of the hill, we didn't bring in as much as my friends who lived downtown near the nice houses, but it was important for each of us to do our part.
When Thanksgiving came around, we would get a little envelope at church that we would bring home. It was very much like the pledge envelope that we would put our nickels and dimes in for church. Back then, it was important for even young folks to learn to give a little bit back to their church and to their community.
Yet the envelope that we would bring home was different. We would save it until Thanksgiving Day, and then open it. Inside would be five kernels of corn. We would open the little envelopes and hear about how the early pilgrims had had to ration food and were unsure if they would make it through the winter. We would hear about how through hard work, cooperation, and through kindness shown to them by the natives they made it through the winter. It was a time of moral stories around the family table.
Thanksgiving was not about opulence and abundance, it was about survival, and although I never thought of myself as coming from a poor family, uncertain about where the next meal came from, it was part of my family history. My father's father had died when my father was twelve and they face difficult times. My mother had lived through The Depression on a small New England farm beside the Connecticut River. The second hand clothes I wore were simply the way everyone got clothes, I thought.
Looking back at those days from today's lens, it seems so different. Some have started to point out that Thanksgiving is not a day for Native American's to be thankful. The settlers brought with them disease and war and wrecked havoc on Native American life. Others have drawn contrasts between what happened when the Europeans came to North America and people trying to enter our country today.
Yet it seems as if the key point of the debate is being missed. Those pilgrims facing hunger and possible death, as represented by the five kernels of corn, survived because the people already in the land helped them out. Perhaps we should be more like those Native Americans, and instead of building a larger fence, and passing laws to make it more difficult for the new comers to our country, we should be helping them out.
Likewise, the five kernels of corn should be a reminder for us to be thankful, not for the new flat screen television that we had to fight for Thursday evening amidst a large crowd of shoppers, but for the simple sustenance we receive in difficult times.
Connecticut soup kitchens, which provide today's equivalent of five kernels of corn, lost food to spoilage as a result of the power outage. The needs for food of the hungry increase in our state even as donations go down.
On Thanksgiving Day, I saw a tweet from a church in Bridgeport, inviting anyone and everyone who would be thankful for a hot meal to come enjoy a free Thanksgiving day feast, complete with roast turkey and all the trimmings. I retweeted the message because it occurred to me that the meal in the church hall in Bridgeport would probably be closer to an authentic Thanksgiving meal that the large feast immortalized in the painting by Norman Rockwell.
My mind wandered to those dour old Pilgrims who came to this country out of love of God, and not the love of money that dominates so much of the political discourse. I thought of those who knew that the key to survival was the ability to cooperate with one another and help them out, and not to take advantage of ones neighbor. I thought of those for whom giving back to their community was a Godly responsibility.
Where have we gone wrong? My idyllic childhood faded as my parents separated. Some blame the demise of the American family on our decline; the lack of dinner time discussions about five kernels of corn. That seems a bit facile and incomplete. What caused the American family to decline in the first place? Even if that is the case, what can we do now to revive our country?
I talk with my kids at the dinner table, and I'm sure they roll their eyes as much as I rolled mine when I was their age. We no longer have Walter Cronkite telling us all we need to know about the days' news, and perhaps we need each of us to tell the news. Perhaps Walter Cronkite and the dinner time discussions are merging into a new form, the blog post. Yet I look at a lot of the blog, and I'm not so sure.
The Experimental Memoir - Day 25 Thanksgiving, part 2Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Fri, 11/25/2011 - 14:23
I don't have a lot of recollections of Thanksgiving meals when I first moved to Connecticut. I can vaguely imagine what they were like, sitting at the large table in the dining room of the old house in Stamford. They most likely were the standard faire; turkey, potatoes, corn, green beans, and carrots. Other parts of the activities around Thanksgiving are easier to remember.
Stamford started having an annual pre-Thanksgiving day parade while we lived in Stamford, and we would go down to it. It was on Sundays and we would go down right after church. There are several major north south roads heading down from North Stamford into Stamford. However, they would get really congested as you got closer to the parade. We would typically take back roads in North Stamford to head east before heading south. We could then find parking to the East of the parade, and not a far walk from it. Often we would watch the parade on Atlantic, Bedford of Summer Streets. It was often cold and we would bundle up. There would be the street vendors and many times, we would see friends, especially the girls classmates and their families.
A few weeks later, we would head downtown again to see Santa Claus repel down the side of one of the buildings in the downtown district. The trip down and the parking, the crowds, venders and friends were often the same.
One year, we were invited down to a party on West Seventy Seventh Street in Manhattan the night before Thanksgiving. A coworker's parents lived in a nice apartment overlooking the American Museum of Natural History and the streets where all the balloons were inflated. On our way to the party, I showed Kim and the girls where I had lived when Mairead was born. It was just around the corner at West Seventy Eighth Street. We looked at various stores that had been my stomping ground before trying to get to the party. The street was blocked off, and we had to speak with a police officer about the details of the party we were going to. It was crowded but uneventful.
When Kim and I met, she was living in Guilford, and I learned about Gozzi's Turkey Farm. I've always been predisposed to buying from local vendors whenever possible, so it was great to find a local turkey farm. To make things all the more enjoyable, every year at Thanksgiving, they color several of the turkeys bright florescent colors, pink, green, blue, orange, yellow, and probably a few other colors. It has always been great fun to go pick up the Thanksgiving turkey and look at the ones who had been spared to become part of a colorful display.
We've also sought to purchase Connecticut raised ducks and geese, but that's always been a challenge. One year, we found a farm claiming to sell Connecticut geese, but when we got the goose, the package said it was from Pennsylvania. Another time, we got a goose but it had been poorly butchered. None of the giblets were in the goose and it was a very lean goose. Some people might like their goose this way, but an important part of our tradition has been to make a pate out of the liver, and to rend the fat for cooking. Connecticut has recently passed new laws to make it easier for people to get produce straight from the farms, so hopefully, this will result in better options for geese and ducks going forward.
As a side note, I read a tweet the other day from a Minnesota politician talking about how Minnesota provides more turkeys to the United States than any other state. I assume she was talking about Thanksgiving Dinners, and not about some of her fellow Minnesotan politicians. That works out to be a trip of about 1500 miles. This doesn't seem especially efficient.
This carries over to other forms of shopping. We buy Christmas trees raised on local Connecticut farms. We gather up the whole family to traipse out to the farm, hike up and down the hills in search of the perfect Christmas Tree. When the oldest girls were young, I would read them "The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree" about a family in Appalachia during World War I. The father was off at war and the mother and daughter headed off into the mountains to pick the perfect Christmas Tree. It was a balsam fir, known for their fragrance.
So, every year, we head out to find our own perfect Christmas Tree. We try to get a Balsam fir, or if not, a fir fairly similar. Years later, Kim noted how I often seem to get sick around the holidays; congestion, runny nose. She suggested that perhaps it is an allergy to the Christmas Tree. I suspect this is the case, but having an aromatic tree, even if it causes me a little suffering, is worth it, so I just stock up on decongestants before getting the tree.
Our pumpkin gathering is, likewise, a holiday family tradition, including a hayride, and sometimes, when there is enough time and money, getting lost in a corn maze. This is followed by a stop to the cider mill for fresh hot spiced cider and cider donuts.
During the warmer months, schedules permitting, we also try to pick various fruits and berries at pick your own farms in Connecticut. Fiona and I usually go out and pick fresh strawberries. The farm fresh strawberries and sweeter and tastier than anything you'll find in most stores, however, even these don't compare with the fresh wild strawberries I used to find in the woods near the house I grew up in. We've also made trips to go blueberry and raspberry picking. Like the strawberries, these are particularly good, but not the same as the berries from my youth.
For raspberries, we had a neighbor who had a small cultivated raspberry patch. We would go pick raspberries there. From blueberries, we would hike up onto Mount Greylock to various areas where wild blueberries grew in abundance and pick as many as we could. I don't remember reading the book, Blueberries for Sal when I was young, but when I read it to my children, it brought back memories of picking berries up on Mount Greylock as a kid.

The college football season is getting closer and closer by the minute. The smell in the air is returning and soon it will come. Now as I prepare for the 2010 season I will write only two more predictions. Today's and an article on who will win the SEC very soon.
It's been a long time since Richt and UGA have been to Atlanta, that year was 2005. Many believe that Georgia would have won in 2007 if Tennessee had lost to Vanderbilt or Kentucky. Well this may be the year they return.
This slideshow will give reasons why Georgia will win the SEC over Alabama this year.
Here are the first two parts of the Final SEC Prediction series.

My brothers come here every week for various reasons including an open computer lab and computer classes. The staff is friendly and helpful - I have it understood that it works in part with a church and my brothers come away with good experiences. This week the kids went on a camping trip to Brazos and other times when I pick up my brothers a BBQ will be taking place. There is a strong sense of community when you come into this establishment - it helps that is centered between two neighboring schools: Deady MS and Milby HS. I encourage students to come in either to just hang out or take advantage of one the many opportunities that are available to both students and adults.

You know and love our Must-Read IT Blogs lists, but now, say hello to the nonprofit side.
In 2007, small businesses can deduct up to $112,000 in new equipment purchases, including information technology assets such as computer hardware, networking equipment and off-the-shelf software.
Section 179 of the tax code, which lets business owners deduct their purchases, was originally set at $25,000 a year. But in 2003, lawmakers quadrupled the deduction to $100,000 a year in a bid to boost the economy. The deduction increase was initially scheduled to expire after 2005, but Congress renewed the deduction twice and now has extended it through 2009.
But according to a recent BizTech poll, most IT staffers aren't aware of how or if their businesses are utilizing the tax break. Only about one-third of readers say they either have taken advantage of the deductions in the past or will this year.
If you want to learn more about how to make the most of the deductions when making investments in your company's IT infrastructure, check out a BizTech podcast at www.biztechmagazine.com/podcasts and also read a white paper at www.biztechmagazine.com/whitepapers. Small-business tax experts offer detailed help in deciphering the ins and outs of Section 179.
In February 1977, Popular Science touted the upcoming release of the optical video disc by electronics giants RCA and Phillips. The companies planned to sell the players for about $500 each and discs for between $10 and $18. Unlike record players, the disc players would not operate unless the lid was closed.
Although Al Gore claimed the Internet as his invention, the real credit goes to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, created by the Defense Department after the Soviet Union's successful launch of Sputnik in 1957. Numerous brilliant scientists and researchers participated in this think tank directly or as DOD contractors, but most attribute the naming of the Internet to Dr. J.C. Licklider. Licklider called the concept of computer-to-computer communication an Intergalactic Network. A team of computer scientists toiled for years, and eventually at 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 29, 1969, the first electronic data packets traveled over a 50-kilobit-per-second line from a computer at Stanford in Palo Alto, Calif., to another computer at the University of California in Los Angeles.

AN HISTORICALLY INTERESTING FIFTEEN-STAR AMERICAN NAVAL JACK FROM THE ANGLO-AMERICAN WAR OF 1812, comprising four conjoined blue bunting strips with fifteen appliquéd five-point stars, canvas sleeve with three suspension loops on the hoist edge, with a manuscript note pinned in the lower left canton inscribed Capt. Thomas R Brown US[N] / This flag was used in the / War of 1812, E.B. -- 61 x 36in. (155 x 91.5cm.); together with an oil on canvas laid down on board oval portrait of Thomas Brown in the uniform of Lieutenant of the U.S. Navy, circa 1807, unsigned -- 12 x 9½in. (30.5 x 24cm.); and his Captain's commission signed by President James Monroe and dated for 3rd March, 1825, (3), Provenance: Brown family to US book trade; sold to a European collector 1998. Captain Thomas Brown (circa 1785-1828), born in Philadelphia, served in the United States Navy seeing action in both the First Barbary War (1801-5) and the Anglo-American War of 1812. In 1803 he served as a midshipman aboard the Philadelphia with Lt. Stephen Decatur under Commodore Edward Preble on the Constitution and distinguished himself with Decatur when they burnt their ship rather than lose it to enemy action. When Decatur was killed in 1804, Brown acted Second in Command of the squadron. Brown was promoted Lieutenant on 27 March 1807, when it seems likely this portrait was painted., Brown went on to serve in the War of 1812 under Commodore Isaac Chauncey at Sacket's Harbor, battling for control of Lake Ontario. At the start of the war, the British had command of the lake due to the existence of the Provincial Marine Squadron headed by the 20-gun corvette Royal George. This squadron was not intended for any aggressive action in the war, however very early on it was clear this would not be the case. On 19 July 1812 Commander Hugh Earl led the Provincial Squadron into sight of Sacket's Harbor and opened fire. Lieutenant Woolsey, in command of the harbour at the time, returned fire, damaging Royal George. Not prepared for any action, Earl and his squadron hastily retreated. Realising the need for a naval presence on Lake Ontario, Chauncey was placed in overall charge at Sacket's Harbor that August. On arrival, Chauncey went about building a squadron, and bought many ships, including the Governor Tompkins, which carried a single 32-pdr long gun, a 24-pdr and four 32-pdr Carronades, of which Brown was in command. That autumn, Chauncey's squadron, including Oneida and Governor Tompkins, set out to destroy the Royal George. After an inconclusive engagement on 9 November, they were more successful a few days later on the 12th and destroyed the British schooner Two Brothers and the merchantmen Mary Hatt and Elizabeth - within two months Chauncey had run the Provincial Squadron off Lake Ontario. After a heavy winter, in which both sides tried to build new warships, the largest joint operation between the U.S. army and navy since their inception, took place: the Battle of York. Chauncey's squadron, along with 1,700 troops, was successful in its attack on the Canadian port and, in addition to forcing the British to withdraw, captured the Duke of Gloucester which, at the time, was described as a 'decaying' schooner and was put to use by Chauncey as a floating magazine. After this success, Chauncey's squadron went on to capture Fort George causing the British to relinquish control of the lake for the rest of the war. Brown was promoted to Commander on 1 March 1815 and Captain ten years later. At his death on 28 November 1828, Brown left a widow, Emma Brown (who wrote and initialled the note pinned to the jack), and two children, Eliza and Isaac. The fifteen-star flag was used by the United States between 1795 and 1818 and was the second incarnation of this iconic design. Like the Royal Navy, American naval vessels flew three flags: the ensign at the stern, the jack at the prow, and the commission pennant at the main mast.

Looking for a Used MKZ in your area?
CarGurus has 15,206 nationwide MKZ listings starting at $2,995.
2008 Lincoln MKZ Overview
The Lincoln MKZ is finally coming into its own. After several years during which the car's name changed not once but twice (from the Lincoln LS to the Lincoln Zephyr to the MKZ, a name adopted for the 2007 model year), the mid-size luxury vehicle is now taking center stage in Lincoln's effort to win over entry-level buyers (and win back buyers who have defected to other brands).
The MKZ is a good standard-bearer for the company. Rather than sporting a forgettable design, typical of some Lincolns of the past, the MKZ stands out in a crowd with a crisp, lean look that incorporates retro elements and a wide, grinning "waterfall" front grille that is impossible to miss or ignore. All in all, it's a design that is fresh and contemporary, and one that stands up to the best from the imports.
For 2008, Lincoln is sweetening the pot by offering the MKZ with a number of new standard features that help clinch the car's status as a luxury sedan. Among those new features are premium leather seats that are power-adjustable and heated in the front, as well as cooled (which was an option the previous year). Also standard for 2008 is a tire pressure monitoring system, Sirius satellite radio, and a Reverse Sensing System that assists drivers when parking with rear audible alerts.
Later in the 2008 model year, Lincoln will also add the new Sync system as standard equipment. Developed by Ford/Lincoln in conjunction with Microsoft, it provides a hand's-free, voice-activated communication system for mobile phones and the audio system, as well as the optional navigation system.
As in previous years, the MKZ is available in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions. Both are powered by a 263-horsepower Duratec V6 engine that is linked to a six-speed automatic transmission, which provides smooth, barely perceptible shifting to help improve fuel efficiency. In addition, four-wheel independent suspension provides responsive handling and a nimble ride.

Compliance Archiving for Social Media
For businesses, social media is a powerful way to connect. Services like LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and others can deliver significant business value when connecting with clients, partners and colleagues. In the financial industry, the specific requirements of regulators like the SEC and FINRA can present a challenge — how can firms take advantage of social media while remaining compliant?
Compliant social media is the responsibility of every firm. Like other forms of electronic communication, social media is subject to SEC and FINRA compliance requirements. However, regulatory bodies have not issued new guidelines for each individual type of social media communication. Rather, social media fits into the framework of existing SEC and FINRA Rules. For example, FINRA Notice 10-06 (dated January 2010) advises that firms must ensure they have a solution in place to retain all records of social media communications as per SEC Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 and FINRA Rule 4510.
Social Media Archiving: for compliance and security. Secure, automatic social media archiving is the solution to meeting compliance requirements for all types of electronic messaging - including social media messages. Capturing a permanent record of every communication is essential to preventing data leaks and lost messages. It is also crucial to ensuring your firm's preparedness for audits, eDiscovery requests and legal proceedings. Global Relay Archive for Social Media securely captures, indexes and archives social media data from:
- Google +
- YouTube
One vendor — Global Relay provides a single end-to-end solution for social media capture, indexing, archiving, supervision, audit and eDiscovery. Since Global Relay Archive supports social media seamlessly, the need to manage a third-party social media solution in addition to your existing archive is eliminated.
Comprehensive Data Capture — Once a social media account is set up for archiving with Global Relay, the user's activity is captured no matter what location or device they may be using. Unlike proxy/middleware solutions, Global Relay captures social media content generated on home PCs, mobile devices, etc.
Seamless setup — All Global Relay solutions are quick and easy to enable at your firm. Once the system is set up, users' experiences on social media are not affected.
Which Regulations Apply?
Registered financial firms are responsible for ensuring their social media activities are compliant with regulatory requirements, including:
- SEC 17a-3, SEC 17a-4, FINRA 4510 — Requirements for electronic message recordkeeping
- SEC Rules 204-2, 206(4)-7 — Requirements for message recordkeeping & supervision
- NASD 3010 — Firms must establish and enforce written procedures for communications
- NASD 2310 — Financial recommendations made to a specific investor must be suitable for that investor
- NASD 2711(b)(3)(A), NYSE 472(b)(3) — Firms' legal & compliance departments must be copied on communications about research report contents
- FINRA Notices 10-06, 11-39 — Added guidance on blogs and social media web sites
- FINRA Rule 2210(c)(6) — Firms are subject to specific requirements related to spot-checks that focus on social media usage, policies, and compliance
- Additional rules and regulations may apply — Depending on the nature and purpose of the social media communication at hand
Global Relay Archive for LinkedIn
Global Relay brings compliance to the LinkedIn community.
Developed in partnership with LinkedIn, Global Relay Archive for LinkedIn is an in-house built solution that enables your firm to leverage the LinkedIn community while meeting the regulatory requirements for recordkeeping and supervision of electronic messaging found in the financial industry and other sectors. It is simple to setup and works automatically in the background to capture your firm's LinkedIn communications.
Once an employee's account is selected for monitoring, LinkedIn messaging is captured and archived no matter where employees are or what device they use to access LinkedIn (iPhone, BlackBerry, iPad, home PC, etc.).
Global Relay Archive for LinkedIn captures, indexes, and stores every type of messaging within LinkedIn including: Messages, Invitations, InMail, Profiles, Network Updates, Comments, and more.
Whenever there is new messaging content generated within a user's LinkedIn account, that content is downloaded and ingested into Global Relay Archive. The service preserves all original formatting, meaning that LinkedIn activity appears within the Archive exactly as it does on LinkedIn.com — including photos and links.
An additional unique feature is Global Relay's intuitive "redline" view. Whenever changes are made to a LinkedIn profile or page, Global Relay Archive automatically highlights whatever was added, removed or modified (as opposed to showing plain text without context). This provides Reviewers with instant insight into the LinkedIn activity at their firm, saving time and streamlining the process of social media supervision.
Global Relay Archive for Twitter
Global Relay provides compliance archiving for Twitter.
Global Relay Archive for Twitter allows firms to benefit from the powerful micro-blogging social network while addressing industry regulatory requirements for recordkeeping and supervision. Designed and built in-house, Global Relay Archive for Twitter is easy to deploy and works automatically to capture and index your employees' Twitter activity.
Once an employee's account is selected for monitoring, Twitter messaging is captured and archived no matter where employees are or what device they use to access Twitter (iPhone, BlackBerry, iPad, home PC, etc.). Global Relay Archive for Twitter runs in the background, leaving employees' user experience intact.
Global Relay Archive for Twitter captures, indexes, and stores all major forms of Twitter communication including: Public & Protected Tweets, Mentions, Direct Messages, and Profile Updates.
As new content is generated in a user's Twitter feed, it is captured and ingested into Global Relay Archive with along with its contextual metadata. The end result is a rich representation of the messaging data within the Archive for review and supervision.
Global Relay Archive captures changes to Twitter profiles with its intuitive "redline" view. Whenever changes are made to a Twitter profile, Global Relay Archive automatically highlights whatever was added, removed or modified (as opposed to showing plain text without context). This provides Reviewers with instant insight into the Twitter activity at their firm, saving time and streamlining the process of social media supervision.

Bought this as a gift for my husband. He's 5'10 and about 195 lbs. XL fits comfortably without looking sloppy. Good quality. He said the shirt is a little thinner around the center design but otherwise good quality throughout. It hasn't been washed yet so I can't attest to how well it holds up long run. I do plan to wash it in cold water, use very little fabric softener, and air dry it to preserve quality and size.

Optimal Transportation: Theory and Applications
Optimal Transportation: Theory and Applications (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series, Book 413) by Yann Ollivier and Hervé Pajot
English | 2014 | ISBN: 110768949X | 316 pages | PDF | 1,7 MB
The theory of optimal transportation has its origins in the eighteenth century when the problem of transporting resources at a minimal cost was first formalised. Through subsequent developments, particularly in recent decades, it has become a powerful modern theory. This book contains the proceedings of the summer school 'Optimal Transportation: Theory and Applications' held at the Fourier Institute in Grenoble. The event brought together mathematicians from pure and applied mathematics, astrophysics, economics and computer science. Part I of this book is devoted to introductory lecture notes accessible to graduate students, while Part II contains research papers. Together, they represent a valuable resource on both fundamental and advanced aspects of optimal transportation, its applications, and its interactions with analysis, geometry, PDE and probability, urban planning and economics. Topics covered include Ricci flow, the Euler equations, functional inequalities, curvature-dimension conditions, and traffic congestion.

Who makes the decision about what runways and approaches to use? What are the deciding factors for everything?
At LGA, it seems they only use Localizer 31 when the weather is weird. High winds, especially fomr a strange direction often result in this being used.
ILS Runway 4 is often use in overcast weather.
Express Visual 31 is often used on beautiful mornings, and LDA 22 is used on beautiful evenings.
Runway 13 is often used when ATC has been smoking the good stuff. (sorry, couldn't resist)
But does this sound accurate? Why would this be?

Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
A redesigned exterior boasts strong lines while the front and rear ends look more aggressive, yet refined. The interior has also been refreshed, and it still radiates comfort and refinement. There are still four engines to choose from, and all but the turbodiesel option receive a boost in power.
The 2015 Audi A6 Prestige models get a head-up display and full LED headlights as standard equipment. Audi A6 3.0T and TDI diesel models get advanced blind-spot monitoring and Audi's "Pre Sense" collision-alert system as standard. A new Warm Weather package adds 4-zone climate control, and side and rear window shades.
Horsepower on the 2.0T increases to 220, and a new TDI clean-diesel engine is added to the lineup. The A6 2.0T gains standard heated front seats, while the Prestige trim gains Audi Side Assist blind-spot monitoring. A number of new exterior trim and wheel upgrade packages are also offered.
All-new last year, the
Audi A6 is little changed for 2013. Quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) is now available with the base 2.0 turbo engine, an economizing stop/start feature is added to the 3.0 supercharged engine and top- and corner-view cameras are available for the parking-assist system.
There are no major changes for 2011 as the A6/S6 lineup awaits a 2012 redesign.
No major changes for 2010.
The 2009 Audi S6 receives some minor cosmetic upgrades to its front fascia and rear end, as well as updated wheels. New standard equipment includes a DVD-based navigation unit and rear park assist.
Audi's lane-assist warning system joins the options list, as do chrome wheels.
The newest S6 is based on the current-generation A6 that was introduced for the 2005 model year. Compared with its predecessor - last available for the 2003 model year and in wagon form only - the latest S6 boasts an advantage of 95 horsepower thanks to an engine upgrade from a V8 to V10.
While other models like the all-new A3 or stalwart A4 stand in the spotlight, the 2016 Audi A6 is perhaps the automaker's best-kept secret. With luxurious interior appointments and comfort, and a choice of four hyper-talented engines, the 2016 Audi A6 continues on with the midsize luxury sedan's clandestine yet sterling reputation. Even with stiff competition from the likes of the BMW 5-Series, Mercedes-Benz E Class, Cadillac CTS, and Acura RLX, the Audi A6 is one of our favorites.

Has a very good performance punch. Not a sports car but rather a powerful, full sized luxury performance sedan. Plenty of power for the enthusiast in everyday driving. Can hold its own to any car in its class. Not cheap but worth the price considering the design, build quality and powertrain. No regrets."

The cluster was running fine until last week where 3 nodes restarted suddenly. I suspect fencing took place since all 3 servers restarted at the same time but I couldn't find any fence related entries in the log. I am guessing we hit the bug you mentioned? Will the log indicate fencing has taken place with regards to the bug you mentioned? Also I noticed the message "kernel: clustat[28328]: segfault at 0000000000000024 rip 0000003b31c75bc0 rsp 00007fff955cb098 error 4" occasionally; is this related to the TOTEM message or they indicate another problem?

7 - Missing Spells
Reposted from my comments on the project page:
I have some suggestions for updating the list of supported cooldowns. Basically, the cooldowns that you track can be broken down into categories: tanking, interrupts, mana restore, health restore, threat dump, resurrection, and miscellaneous other. I think that it is important to make sure that each of these is a) potentially important to the raid and b) complete and consistent for all classes.
Tanking For completeness add: Anti-magic Shell, Survival Instincts, Unbreakable Armor.
Interrupts For completeness add: Wind Shock. I think that Silencing Shot (Hunter), Bash (Druid) and Maim (Druid) also interrupt spell casting even on targets that are immune to silence/stun.
Threat Dump You include Feign Death and Soulshatter. For consistency, add Vanish (Rogue), Invisibility (Mage). A related ability, Hand of Salvation (Paladin), should also be added.
Resurrection Possibly add Raise Ally (Deathknight).
Other This is where it gets tricky. I think that showing Nature's Swiftness for Druids and Shaman is completely unnecessary. Similarly, Cloak of Shadows and Ice Block are more personal cooldowns, though they are useful to see sometimes. Tricks of the Trade (Rogue) should definitely be added. I also toyed with the idea of adding Ritual of Refreshment (Mage), Ritual of Souls (Warlock) and Ritual of Summoning (Warlock) as they can be useful to see for raid preparation.
The only other special case for a glyph I saw was Glyph of Death Grip. Have you also considered Cold Snap (and Hypothermia) for Ice Block cooldown and Preparation for Vanish cooldown?

Stocks discussed in the in-depth session of Jim Cramer's Mad Money TV program, Thursday August 16. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:
Seeking Alpha publishes a summary of Jim Cramer's stock picks every day including: Mad Money Recap, Lightning Round, Stop Trading and his Wall Street Confidential Picks.
Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), Countrywide Financial's (CFC), Washington Mutual (NYSE:WM), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Wachovia (NASDAQ:WB)
Thursday's dash for financials may indicate the sector will be one of the "long-term beneficiaries" of Bernanke's position, but Cramer does not think they are safe. He tacked a double sell on WM but thought BAC and WB could survive. However, he reserved the lion's share of his praise for WFC, and said, "It is the great speculative play that should prosper." He believes WFC will "own the mortgage market" and will win with investors because it offers a great dividend. Cramer would wait for WFC to drop to the $32 - $34 range.
Sell Block: VMware (NYSE:VMW), H&R Block (NYSE:HRB), Capital One Financial (NYSE:COF), Friedman Billings Ramsey Group (NYSE:FBR) Lamson & Sessions (LMS), Six Flags (NYSE:SIX)
Cramer urged investors to "stay the course" and added "no one ever made a dime panicking." However, he added it isn't too late to sell minerals and he feels tigher consumer spending will put pressure on retail. Cramer would sell VMW after its highly successful IPO, and would stay away from HRB, COF and FBR. He would also sell LMS as well as SIX because of low attendance due to the weather. He concluded it is better to invest in long-term stocks rather than quick trades in the current environment.
KKR Financial (KFN), Thornburg Mortgage (TMA) and Reynolds American (NYSE:RAI)
Not all high dividends are good dividends, Cramer declared and used KFN and TMA as examples. He added high-dividend names KFN and TMA aren't worth the investment because as their stocks fall so will the yields. Cramer likes RAI which has a dividend of 5.5% and is a "smart play" in this environment because "nothing is more defensive than cigarettes."
Mad Mail: Bear Stearns (NYSE:BSC), Jones Soda (NASDAQ:JSDA) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG)
Cramer would avoid BSC and JSDA whose climb was "how to make a million" in the market. He adds GOOG is safe and likes the tech sector for its pristine balance sheets and great products.
