Body-rocking, head-rolling and head-banging:
Your child might:
If your child is developing well in all other ways, you might decide to put up with the body-rocking, head-rolling or head-banging. This behaviour will eventually go away.
Here are some other ideas that might help:
Rhythmic behaviour is comforting and soothing, even in normally developing children. You might notice your child doing it more if he's experiencing some anxiety or stress during the day. But by itself, rocking, banging or rolling doesn't mean your child has an emotional problem.
If you notice your child has started this behaviour at a time of major change, or your child seems to be having trouble coping with something, offering comfort and support might help.

Does anyone rember the ship that could suck up oil in water that was turned away during the oil spill in the gulf. They couldn't come in because they weren't in a union.
Maybe they are following the labor laws of that state. If it is a closed shop state, they are abiding by the laws that were passed in regards to labor requirements to perform a job. Looks like a golden opportunity for the anti-union people in those areas to bust the unions. I am surprised that it hasn't been tried already. On top of that, many of the people affected, quite possibly are union workers and don't want someone that is not a union worker doing the job.

I spent about 20 minutes writing a diary entry only to have netscape crash before I posted it. I've decided to switch to konqueror. It starts much quicker, and performs much better. The user interface is not as user friendly but much faster than netscape. If only it could do ssl - then I'd be able to get rid of netscape. I've lost lots of diary entries through netscape crashes.
Here's a quick version of the initial entry.
Been in the holiday mode for the past month or so. Went down the South Coast and spent a lot of time swimming at the beach or by the lake fishing. I had a go at kneeboarding. A woman returning from a walk along the beach didn't want to get her clothes wet while crossing a channel that emptied out to the sea. She took her clothes off leaving only her hat to protect her from the sun, and walked across the channel. This was on a public beach with scores of people around.
Couldn't get tickets to see B(if)tek so I contented myself with the fireworks display on Sydney Harbour. Managed to secure a good spot on a wharf near Milson's Point without putting too much effort in.
The Sydney Festival is underway. I went to a free Jazz Festival in the Domain on saturday night. The crowd was reportedly 100,000 strong. It had a fantastic atmostphere. Most people settled down to picnic, drink champagne or simply chill out with friends while listening to great music.
I've purchased quite a few cd's lately. One of my favourites is Kevolution by Purdy. He will be performing at Frigid on the forecourt of the Opera House on the 24th of this month, along with Tooth.

Orvis Battenkill Lg Arbor IV
This is a brand new, never used factory demo Large Arbor reel that comes to you in the box with the heavy-duty Orvis pouch and papers. I have loaded it with 20 lb. Micron and a used, but very serviceable, SA Mastery WF8-F line. The reel is machined from solid bar-stock, aerospace grade 6262-T6 aluminum. SALTWATER SAFE. A true large arbor reel -- less change in spool diameter as a running fish takes line means the drag setting stays consistent. Ultra smooth transition from static (spool not in motion) to dynamic (spool in motion with drag engaged). Low start-up inertia helps to protect light tippets during start-up. 200% more drag surface area than Orvis traditional Battenkill disc reels. Greater heat dissipation across greater surface area. $95.00 plus $8.00 shipping in the lower 48, add $2.00 for ins. Pay by money order and reel ships the next business day.

Thread: Darn algae
Darn algae
I'm getting algae in my planted 55 that has been doing so well. I have 4 chinese algae eaters in that tank that aren't doing beans as far as keeping things cleaned up. Since I moved the platies out, my tank has become a mess.
The only thing I am doing different is I ran out of yeast so my CO2 has not been on and of course moving the platies out since this is now a firemouth tank.
Could not having CO2 cause this mess? Lights are on 10 hours a day. Algae is only on the plants, not the glass. It's a tiny bit fuzzy looking and hope it's not the beginning of hair algae! Two large water changes this week of almost 75%.
0Originally Posted by Lady Hobbs
CAEs don't do diddley as far as algae goes. They only gnaw at it when they are young. When they grow a bit, they prefer fish food and the body slime off other fish if they don't feel like they are getting enough flake. Take them back and trade them for SAEs. They'll do the job. I'd suggest Otocinclus or Paratocinclus to clean your leaves, but they wouldn't be a good idea with firemouths as they are just about bite sized to the Cichlids.
The Co2 helps vascular plants grow faster to outcompete algae for available nutrients, thus with no Co2, the algae has the upper hand as the plants aren't growing fast enough to outstrip it. I use pressurized Co2 at 30 to 35 ppm and still get just enough algae to keep my sucker-mouthed catfishes interested. All tanks have some algae tucked away in a corner or behind an ornament, and its no big deal.
All leaves, especially the plastic ones, get a biofilm of various critters (including nitrifying bacteria), that gives algae a chance to grow. Slow growers like Anubis have problems with algae on the leaves all the time.
So, if you start up another home brew of DIY Co2, the algae should diminish.

I knew if you didn't rescue me that Algenco did. My two expert plant guru's here.
I could brain whoever told me to get these stupid Chinese algae eaters. Whoever that was, come over here and take your medicine!!
What good is an algae eater that only eats flake food!
I can't take them back. I got them at some store similar to WalMarts but it has decent fish but a department store nonetheless. I've had them now for 4 months and they must be doing well on flake food as they are now all around 5 inches............all 5 of them.
Bottom feeders are not my firemouths favorite thing, you know? They want no one even near their caves. I think I will have to get me some more platies (grrrrr) and get that co2 going again. I have 4 platies now and 2 look rather preggie. Maybe I will get a bunch of males and just use them for the aglae? Maybe I'm sitting here just talking to myself too. LOL

Theres no doubt the lack of co2 is the major contibuter to your agea bloom. bump the co2 as high as your fish can tolerate watch them carefuly if they start heading for the top of the tank back the c02 down. also cut way back on your feeding expecialy flake food i believe that flake is the WORST food you can use it always breaks up into tinny pieces to small for any fish only inverts can find it and help out.Change to pellets of some kind and feed more directly to your fish not just scattering it across the tank. i'd also stop the feedings but once every three days. sounds cruel but theres no dinner bells out in the wild. one other thing you could look at is instead of SAE's i have found flag fish to be far better at eating algea. heck i have had angels who ate more then SAE'S.good luck.
Thanks. Not sure what those fish are but will do some checking on them. I will get that co2 going again and get some Flourish Excel. It is now just a mess!
Been reading on them and they are killies? They are rather pretty.

Oh My gawd
Look at my plants this morning. I did 3 big water changes this week (last one yesterday) have clean filters, and checked the phosphates. They are at 2.
This whole mess has been just since this week. aughhhhhhhhhhhhhh
And then there's my little 20 gallon planted, low lights, flake food, crummy filter, no co2 and just as clean as a bell.
How long has that tank been established, Hobbsy? That looks like the ole nutrient see saw in a newer aquarium.
DaveWhen a finger points to the moon, the imbecile looks at the finger.
Omnia mutantur nihil interit.
The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go
I will go back to when and why this started. The more I sit and look and scrowl at this tank, the less I can believe that going without CO2 for one week has done this. It's not possible.
And you are right. This algae is just like the mess I had when my other tank had just cycled and the process was still very, very new. I can sit and watch this algae grow it's so fast and the glass is also now a mess and the plants are slimy.
Hobbs runs and checks her ammonia level..............and now she's back with.................sssssssssssshhhhhhhhhiiiiiiii ttttttttttttttttt
But now I know for certain! I just checked and my ammonia levels are .25 AND I just did another big water change 3 hours ago. This level was after that change!
I have been trying to remove my little fish from this tank so had dropped the water down to probably 75-80%. Added back enough ferts for a new tank start-out as instructed on the bottle when doing big water changes. Lights on about 10 hours per day.
Algae starts to grow. More water changes, more ferts, etc, etc. Filters cleaned. More algae.
I will bet you $10 bucks right now that this cycle was set back by me (apparently) forgetting to put the declorinator in on that first big water change. I mean, what else could it be? I was set back somehow. And then I changed the filter media which would have made it even worse.
I never considered checking the ammonia! Tank has been set up for quite some time..........tank up 2 years but planted only a few months ago.
It's a darned good thing I have done these water changes or might not have any fish! I would not be one bit surprised if the dechlorinator and fert bottle was sitting there and I put the ferts in twice and not the dechlorinator at all! Sounds like something smart I might do.
I am going to pull the filter floss from my canister and use that. At least it has established bacteria.

I'm a bit lost with the canon system of numbering their cameras. I currently have a 40D-which I love, but I want to have video and the choice of lenses--eventually.
What I cannot figure out is the numbering system on the models, some say they are a 'MarkXX', others are 'single digit D' ie 7D. What is the progression? And which cameras are full frame?
Yes I've tried to digest the web site, but there is a lot of technical information! I just want a framework to understand.
Then I also want to know the difference between full frame and large format--again in kind of simple terms IF possible.

I have the 7D. Which does have the video. I don't know why they changed the numbering. I think after the 40 D is the 50 and 60 and then the 7D. The full frame sensors are the 5D. And mark 2. Etc. go by the prices. The full frame are more money. Alot more

Not sure about the 40,50,etc D models. I think the 60D and the 7 D are very similar, but I can't tell you the difference. The 5D and 5D MK II were developed before the 7D and the 5D MK II and MK III are very upgraded versions of the original 5D. The 7D does shoot video, but is a cropped sensor. It can take both the EF and EFS lenses. The 5D (all versions) are full frame, the 5D MK III shoots video. The 1D series are the top line models....no way I'll ever get one of those. I use both the 7D and 5D MK III and love them both. I shoot a lot of landscape and need that full-frame for wide angle. I use a long telephoto zoom for birds and wildlife on the 7D where the full frame isn't necessary. I haven't really done any video with either one yet, though I have plans to this next week. The 5D only uses EF lenses. The EF lenses, especially if you go with the L series with image stabilization get really pricey, but are very nice, especially outdoors since they are more durable (but also heavier) and somewhat weatherproof. One of the features I love with the 5D MK III is in-camera HDR. That is fantastic! Hope that helps make things clear as mud.

As to the difference between the 60D & the 7D, the 7D is considered pro-grade where the 60D is still considered more along the lines of serious hobbyist. At least that's how my local camera shop explained it. The 60D has a body that is largely plastic, the 7D is a metal alloy (and a good bit heavier than the 60D for that reason). He also explained that while repairs can be made to either model, the 60D was essentially "more than it's worth" to repair once it's worn out, and it wears out faster. I guess it's a lot of small differences but he concluded that if you are considering going into photography as more than a hobby you would be better off with the 7D. At least in my case, as I was not ready to move to a full frame. I think the 7D is wonderful, and for portraiture it seems to work very nicely. I am saving to upgrade my lenses next!

The 6D is the latest in the Canon lineup. Basically, it sounds like a 7D, only full frame. With some other bells and whistles thrown in. If I didn't already have a 7D & 5D, this would be the one I'd go for if I'm moving from serious hobbyist into the affordable (relatively speaking, still pricey) range. No matter what camera you use, there is always another make or model that has some feature yours doesn't, but yours has something the other doesn't. You just have to figure out what it is you use your camera for and then shop to match that. For me, with landscape photography full frame was important, and because I'm outdoors shooting said landscapes, I needed a fairly durable and weather sealed camera. But to be honest, I still shoot a lot with my point and shoots, and even more with my iPhone. Even the lower end cameras are getting better and better all the time.

Doug- I finally broke down and bought some of those jig hooks- Eagle Claw#413 for tying my clousers. The shank is the same as Mustad 34007 but the hooks come out of the package sharp.

Not a problem, your reference adds valuable knowledge from a great personality in the coastal flyfishing scene... I always walk over to Page to say hello whenever I see her. I'm sure she'll be at Wilmington. Maybe she'd be interested in making a guest appearance for us sometime.
Actually, I do have one request... if you'd put the link between the [url=<url>;] and the [/url] then I wouldn't have to type it!
RE:Bucktail tying problem
Doug- Steve makes a good point about tying all the bucktail on the gape side of the hook . This allows for more flexibility in the size of the eyes used because the wing will help turn the fly over. Here's a suggestion that I use when tying with the "one-sided" wing. After you tie in the eyes tie in some body material behind the eyes(bend-side) and make several wraps back to the eyes and figurre-8 over the eyes securing the body just in front of the eyes. Then turn the fly over and add the wing. The body (maybe flash, chenille, yarn,etc.) helps hold the eyes in place especially if you add it while the super glue is still wet, and you are addding super glue to the wraps around the eyes. I found this after having several clousers turn their heads after a few casts. This is why many tiers put the white belly over the bar of the eyes- added security to keep the eyes from twisting. ronl

I hope this link isn't a problem.
RE:Bucktail tying problem
I like the way you guys are self-moderating....Way to go. Regarding the clouser, I was taught like Jim to make looser and looser wraps as you move away from the eye and really crank down only in the last few wraps approaching it. The loose wraps, larger in diameter, tame the hair without crimping the straw-like fibers. The tight ones hold it in place and compact the head in the front. The resulting conical shape is a bit more fishy in profile. Caveat: if you don't really tighten down early enough, some of the hair will pull out. Using Danville flat wax is important.
I'm certainly no authority, but I find the body determines how the top should look, so, Steve, I prefer to tie the "underside" only after tying down the part that goes over the eyes. Guess it's just how I interpret the pattern. I'll have to try it the other way.... I should hurry. The season is near. I can taste it!!
RE:Bucktail tying problem
I know what you mean about the flairing problem, been there. The finer softer fibers don't flair out as easily. One thing about natural materials is the inconsistency (not all deer are created equal). If you find a particular color or texture in a shop, buy it, you may have to search to find it again. I recently learned to spin deer hair and it seems the body hair is preferred for this purpose since it is hollow and flairs easily. The bucktail at the end of the tail does seem to be the longest, thinest and softest and does not frizz like the body hair but technique certainly plays a part in the finished product. I am certainly no pro but I have learned a couple of things that you may find helpful. Add the material in layers rather than tying on a clump the size of a pencil in one wrap. Make a few loose wraps starting at the point you want the bucktail secured working towards the butt of the hair, increase the tension on the thread tightenig your wraps as you work your way forward to the butt. It's important that the material be secured and tight wraps will make the fly last longer but if you make your wraps too tight where the material sweeps back it will flair.
Hope this helps.
Juro, thanks for the compliment. Can't wait to see the other creations in the fly swap.
RE:Bucktail tying problem
Knowing you both I know that Steve just meant to make a funny metaphor (which is how I took it) and Doug's a quality guy who sincerely appreciates the help guys like Steve offer.
The important thing is that this Forum is no more Juro's than it is Doug's or Steve's or anyone elses. In fact the intent is that this place is a co-op, first in terms of a BB; then in member articles and the Guild; finally in real world activities and payback for members once we get linked up with sponsors.
What if we raised enough through sponsored activities to fund a contest where the prize is transportation and lodging for four days on Andros Island in mid-winter for a fisherperson and his/her spouse? Lofty goal, but that's exactly where I hope this forum ends up.
Oh 'dem sHaCk nAsTieS - the fever's about to break, I can feel it in the air...
RE:Bucktail tying problem
Mr. Moore,
No biggie...I'm glad I didn't shoot my mouth of and get a flamefest going on Juro's board!
If a friend had replied as you had....it would have gotten a laugh out of me. Not knowing you and the fact that I was looking for a little assistance....well...I was having a miserable day at work...the boss had just pi**ed me off...then I saw your reply.....grrrrumble...mmmumble...
FWIW....there was an article in the May '99 issue of Fly Fisherman magazine by Tom Earnhardt with a step-by-step "how to tie an original clouser"...at the end it mentioned that Mr. Clouser ties all on bottom when using synthetics. The article did show the fly being turned over...but who am I to argue.....I've only tied about 10 flies total...8 being clouser types. won't be scanning any too soon!
I also believe that the info can be found on www.flyshop.com

RE:Bucktail tying problem
Sorry for my earlier sarcasm. The answer to your question is actually that you are not tying the clouser minnow correctly. If you are using a commercially tied fly for a model, then you have been misled as to what a clouser is supposed to look like. All the bucktail should be tied on the same side of the hook shank. and actually should be about a 40 degree angle from the shank. If you are like most people you tie the eye on first, then tie in a clump of white bucktail on the top of the shank and over the figure 8 wraps holding the eye on. Then you flip it over and tie the other color bucktail on the opposite side, right? WRONG! The proper way to do it is to tie the eye on. Then flip the hook over and tie the white bucktail in so the hook point is covered by the bucktail. The tie in your crystal flash on top of the white and then the other color on top of that. This produces a much better fly and is easier to tie (IMHO). I also believe this is the way Bob Clouser designed the fly originally.
The other comments about choosing softer bucktail,not wrapping as tightly are valid as well.
RE:Bucktail tying problem
Thanks, Tom and John, for the info.....I expected what Sully said, but the wife was working. Hopefully, I'll make some clave somewhere this season.
Juro, are you saying synthetics are better?
Mr. Moore....I had a reply for you but chose to bite my tongue.

RE:Bucktail tying problem
Did you try taking the tail off the deer first? I've found that to help immensely. The darn buck keeps moving and I never get the things on right.

University, borough team up to address pedestrian safety
Posted March 3, 2007; 04:09 p.m.
The University's Department of Public Safety has teamed up with the Princeton Borough Police Department in an effort to educate the community on issues of pedestrian safety, focusing initially on the stretch of College Road between Alexander Road and Springdale Road.
This area, which sees a lot of pedestrian traffic from the Graduate College, has a posted speed limit of 25 mph. University crime prevention officer James Lanzi, who has been conducting a study of the road over the last several months, said that some vehicles travel at a much higher rate of speed.
After talking to borough police and members of the local community, who expressed mutual concerns, the decision was made to install a "speed trailer" to educate drivers.
Over the next several months, the Princeton Borough police will place the trailer along College Road on random days. The trailer will use radar to check the speed of vehicles and then digitally display it.
"Our intent is to encourage our community members to operate their vehicles safely within the posted speed limit," said Lanzi, who has been working with Sgt. Robert Currier of the Princeton Borough police on the project. "We need to make people aware that this is a pedestrian area."

Detectives investigating body found on Sunset Hill
SPOKANE, Wash. - Police are investigating a decomposing body found in a wooded area near 14th and Milton off Highway 195 Sunday afternoon.
Around 4:40 p.m. children playing in the area found the decomposed body.
Major Crimes Detectives and the Forensics Unit are currently investigating. They have been working for several hours securing the crime scene, walking through the area and collecting evidence.
They were under a bit of a time constraint Sunday night because of the light.
"We are losing our daylight. They are working as hard as they can, they are going to be here all night and into tomorrow to get this scene process," Captain Dave Richards said.Major Crimes investigating decomposed body
The identity and gender of the body has not been determined. Determining the identity, heavily depends on what they find at the crime scene.
"The DNA, the fingerprints, all of that type of forensic work, interviews with people who have others missing, there's a multitude of ways. It really just depends on what they find at the crime scene," Richards said.
The cause of death is also unknown at this time. Detectives don't know how long the body was there.
"The normal protocol is when they find something like this they seal it up, make sure it is protected and then start very methodically going through it," Richards said.
Detective said, family members of missing and runaway people are anxious to find out the identity of the body. Detectives say they don't know if the body is a missing or runaway person.
They are trying to work as fast as they can, but don't want to release any information until they are sure.
Detectives won't say if there is trauma to the body or if there is a campsite nearby.
The body is still in the area. Detectives will likely be there into Monday afternoon.

Actually, on a side note, I wonder what effect those rubber bands are going to have on modern figures 20-25 years down the road. I guess we'll find out when MOC collectors start complaining about the bands melting into the body parts or creating permanent stains as they degrade.
So I'm just going to focus on those items that I really want and not worry so much about having complete collections of anything. Next on my list is a POTF carded Jawa.
I've got him in a Star Case right now, but honestly I really hate the way Star Cases look. So I'm ordering one of those Acrylic AFA cases for him.

I'll be doing this using glTexSubImage2D. However to do that, I need to get the pixel data from the texture. So I'm doing that using glGetTexImage. Here's my code so far:
GLuint CreateMegaTexture(vector<GLuint> texies ){ glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,texies.at(0)); GLint textureWidth, textureHeight; int bytes; glGetTexLevelParameteriv(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_TEXTURE_WIDTH, &textureWidth); glGetTexLevelParameteriv(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_TEXTURE_HEIGHT, &textureHeight); bytes = textureWidth*textureHeight; float Pixels[bytes]; glGetTexImage(GL_TEXTURE_2D,0,GL_RGBA,GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,&Pixels); //GLenum error = glGetError();//Get error }
For now, I'm just testing by trying to get the pixel data of the first element in the "texies" array. So first I get the size of the texture so that I know how large I need to make the array to hold the pixel data. Now there is the problem.
The documentation said the "Pixels" array would need to be of the same type that I chose, which is "GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE" in my case. However, if I do:
GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE Pixels[bytes];
I get an error:
"error: expected ';' before 'Pixels'
If I try GLfloat instead:
GLfloat Pixels[bytes];
I get an even stranger error:
expected primary-expression before ',' token
I don't think it will work if I have the array as simply "float" (although it doesn't throw any errors by the compiler), so I thought I should fix this issue before moving on to glTexSubImage2D.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Because bombing people in Gaza isn't enough.
The shooting of Rushdie Tamimi. He died two days later in hospital.
After a week of drones and heavy shelling, a calm fell over Gaza last night as the Israeli ceasefire took hold. Despite the truce, Gaza's brothers in the larger Palestinian territory of the West Bank are gearing up for another day of protest. West Bankers are no strangers to demonstrations against the Israeli occupation, and protest activity has intensified in the area since Gaza and Israel started trading rockets last week. Confrontations came to a head after the funeral of local hero Rushdie Tamimi, who was shot by Israeli forces at a peaceful protest in his hometown of Nabi Saleh.
Pro-Palestinian Israeli activist Leehee Rothschild was in Nabi Saleh on Saturday when Rushdie was shot. I spoke to her straight after his funeral.

VICE: I've been following your Twitter all day – it sounds like the protests are really kicking off in the West Bank. What's going on?
Leehee Rothschild: There were protests all over the West Bank on Saturday in solidarity with Gaza. The one in Nabi Saleh was particuarly large and the Israeli army reacted very, very violently to the demonstrations, in a way they wouldn't normally dare to if it weren't for the military activity in Gaza. People in the West Bank think the Israeli forces feel that they can afford to crack down on the West Bank because of the operation in Gaza. In Nabi Saleh, they shot rubber bullets and live ammunition.
A pretty influential guy was killed at that protest – what happened to him?
A local man called Rushdie Tamimi was shot several times. He kept getting up and falling back down while they shot him with live bullets. The Israeli Forces prevented medics from getting to him and treating him for a long time and he ended up dying on Tuesday from a bullet wound to his stomach.
Jesus. Can you tell me a bit about the Tamimi family and why they're so important?
Nabi Saleh is a small but active village and everyone there is from the Tamimi family in one way or another. The family are particularly active in non-violent struggle against the Israeli forces and, last year, Mustafa Tamimi was killed by the direct hit of a gas canister, so they've suffered a lot but they carry on. They're really inspiring.
Palestinian youth clash with Israeli police after Rushdi Tamimi's funeral. Photo by Shachaf Polakow/Activestills.
What happened at his funeral today?
There was a huge demonstration in Nabi Saleh – with thousands of people – after his funeral. It started in Ramallah and went up to Nabi Saleh, quite similar to the funeral of Mustafa Tamimi last December. Before the peaceful demonstration even started, you could already see the soldiers waiting in position around the hills, because they knew that once the funeral was over the people would go out and protest.
As soon as we walked towards the soldiers they started shooting a load of tear gas and rubber bullets, spraying us with skunk water and began to make their way closer and closer towards the village. Eventually the whole village was covered with tear gas and everybody was ducking around to avoid the rubber bullets. It was absolutely terrifying because you couldn't see where they were shooting from. It was from all directions and there was nowhere to hide.
Is there a feeling that the Gaza violence is spilling over into the West Bank, or does the Gaza conflict feel removed from there?
It's very difficult say. On the one hand, there's no artillery fire or bombing on the West Bank, but the Israeli army are being much more violent towards people in there now because nobody's watching what goes on. The killing of a protester in the West Bank doesn't usually go unnoticed, but because of the Gaza war, you don't hear a reaction from the international media to the deaths of people like Rushdie Tamimi. It's just one more Palestinian killed. It's overlooked because they're killing numerous people in Gaza every day.
What do you expect to happen in the Bank in the next few days?
If the assault on Gaza carries on, then the West Bank demonstrations will certainly continue and the violence will escalate. We're nearing the end of the week and there are always large demonstrations in the West Bank after morning prayers on Friday, but I predict that protests this Friday will be bigger and met with more violence from Israeli forces.
So what's the general feeling in the West Bank now?
Theres a lot of anger. There's also a lot of worry, because of lot of people in the West Bank have family in Gaza. But there's also a lot of energy and a lot of inspiration. People are feeling a lot more active than normal and the protests will reflect that.

We had a very pleasant stay at Emmanuel and Beatrice's place. They are exceptionally friendly and helpful hosts. The flat is really nice and clean, situated in a good, save and not too expensive area of Paris. We can just recommend to stay there if you want to enjoy a few days in Paris!
Thank you Emmanuel and Beatrice for those nice days!
Martina, Sandra and Stefan
Very wonderful place, really nice person, comfortable and romantic room, well connected with the metro.
I can recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Paris.
Very friendly and helpful hosts, cosy bedroom, good location as near the tube station and all that for a reasonable price.
very nice room in a very quiet area
a very warm welcome from the owners and availability
if you want to stay in a peaceful setting and enjoy the capital with the help of the owners, I advise you to stay there. ; Housing is very well served by public transport (metro, bus and tram) that are close.
a big thank you to Emmanuel and Beatrice

un grand merci à Emmanuel et Béatrice
Emmanuel and Beatrice are wonderful hosts! The first evening we spent a good time with them and the other guests on the balcony. The room is nice, with a view on Tour Eiffel. Everything is clean and comfortable. The building is in a good position to access Paris public transport network (underground, bus and tram).
Emmanuel and Beatrice are very nice and welcoming -gave us drink and cookies when we arrived- and also respect your privacy. Emmanuel are most helpful, gave us tips and advice and helped us to book tickets online among other things. It is close to the metro and busstop and to bakeries, restaurant and food stores. The rooms, towels, (which are severals) and bedsheets, etc, are very fresh. There is everything you need; hangers, iron, hairdryer, machine to boil water and coffe, flatware, coffe, tea, bottle of water etc. Emmanuel emptied our trash, gave new water bottle, cleaned the toilet and bathroom basically every day. We can not really find anything to complain about. As it is said in the information, the other room which you also can rent, were rented by other couples during our visit, but we had no disturbance and it worked excellent except one morning when we were gone eat breakfast at the same time and had to wait for the other couple to finish in the bathroom. We were served a good french breakfast every day with baguetts and croissents... It was better than if we would have stayed at a hotel and we are very happy that we choosed to book this room at Beatrice and Emmanuel!
Emmanuel ist ein charmanter, liebenswerter und sehr gebildeter Gastgeber, der uns viele gute Tipps geben und unserer Reise zu etwas ganz Besonderem verhelfen konnte. Das Zimmer ist hell und freundlich und in dem herrlichem Bett haben wir fantastisch geschlafen. Insgesamt ein wunderbares Flair und wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!
Emmanuel war ein sehr liebenswürdiger Gastgeber, der sich sehr gekümmert hat und viele Tipps für die Erkundung von Paris geben konnte. Die Wohnung liegt in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Metro, sodass alle interessanten Plätze schnell erreichbar waren. Der Eiffelturm war gut vom Fenster aus zu sehen. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es dafür, dass wir Bad/WC mit einem anderen Zimmer teilen mussten. Im Übrigen jederzeit weiterzuempfehlen!
Meine Tochter und ich sind sehr freundlich empfangen worden. Das Zimmer und Bad sind sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet, der Ausblick auf den Eiffelturm gerade am Abend, traumhaft. Fußläufig sind Metro, Bäcker und Supermärkte, auch Bio, zu erreichen. Emmanuel hat uns viele hilfreiche Informationen zu unseren Besuchen im Museum sowie dem Tagesausflug nach Giverny(sehr empfehlenswert) gegeben. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und können die Unterkunft sowie die tollen Gastgeber absolut weiterempfehlen.

You are here
A mass migration of foodies is about to descend on Charleston next week for the Charleston Wine + Food Festival, but local gourmands whet their palates and celebrated our local farming community at the Legare Farms Fundraising Event at McCrady's Restaurant.
Tantalizing aromas wafted down the stairs from the private dining rooms, where guests swarmed various stations manned by some of Charleston's finest culinarians. Partygoers loaded up on Redneck Ramen from cuisine scene newcomer The Grocery, and Butcher & Bee's Legare braised pork arepas al pastor had people lining up, forks ready. Guitarist Bill Johnson kept guests entertained as they moved between tables, sampling Chef Jacques Larson's collard ravioli with ham hock butter. "I'm stuffed," one foodie declared. "Have you even been to the other room yet?" their companion demanded.
To the surprise of several partygoers, there were in fact two separate rooms teeming with delicious dishes and some of Charleston's more visible socialites and charitable residents. The ever-generous Beth Rucker could be spotted amongst the crowd, which seemed to cluster around the FIG station for poached Celeste farm eggs with ricotta pudding and mushroom ragout before moving en mass toward Husk's slow smoked pork BBQ with winter vegetable slaw on buttermilk Benne rolls. Those who managed to save room delighted in Lucca's crudo of carne with cured egg yolks, but soon blissed-out gourmands could be spotted lounging and mingling at tables or surrendering to their food comas and slowly making their way toward the exit.
The Legare Farms Fundraising Event donated all proceeds to Legare Farms, a local family farm that has been continually in operation since 1725. The Legare Farms Education Foundation strives to raise awareness and educate Lowcountry communities and school children on the rich agricultural heritage of our region and the importance of protecting this legacy. The Legare Farms Fundraising Event was supported by participating restaurants McCrady's, Husk, Wild Olive, EVO, Butcher & Bee, Charleston Grill, FIG, S.N.O.B., Trattoria Lucca, and The Grocery.

Two-day Positive Gundog Training Seminars at Duckhill Kennels- 2013
The two-day training seminars are half classroom and half field work. The objective is to train the trainer, not to train the dog.
Day one - consists of a power point lecture liberally sprinkled with video clips and imparting the basic principles of B.F. Skinner and Konrad Lorenz as applied to training retriever gundogs. Students will also receive information on the latest dog behavior research which has experienced quite a surge in the past 15 years. The lecture concludes with valuable information on how to hunt your dog in a manner that preserves his training, and how to hunt him in temperature extremes and preserve his health. Then comes a 2-hour exercise in using positive reinforcement to influence a dog to make decisions of the trainer's choice.
Day two – starts withfield demonstrations of training methods for delivery to hand, steadiness, whistle stops and blind retrieves. We conclude with exercises to train the dog to go for the long unseen cripple in spite of closer more obvious dead birds. This is followed with another power point lecture with great photos covering British Shooting today, the history of Retriever Field Trials, and British Field Trials as they are run today.

I'm really interested to hear some answers from the "right" perspective. For two years now, all we've heard on this forum is blame for Obama, much of what came prior to his taking office. Roger points out some good examples.
Notice I didn't call any names, insult anyone personally.....but just asked for a reply to a lingering question that has only been evaded up to now.

Philippines: People desperate to regain some degree of normality, says UN Humanitarian Chief
UN Humanitarian Chief Valerie Amos visited communities in Tacloban who have been severely affected by Super Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) on Wednesday. Seeing for herself the massive devastation left by the disaster, Ms. Amos called on the international community not to let the people of the Philippines down in time of such great need.
"We talk constantly about the resilience of the Filipino people," she said. "I saw it today. People with absolutely nothing are doing their best to regain some degree of normality - I felt and continue to feel that we let them down."
Latest estimates from the Government and humanitarian organizations on the ground show that 11.5 million people have been affected, including over half a million people who remain displaced and are sheltering in evacuation centres, with other families and wherever they can.
"Tens of thousands of people are in the open and in destroyed buildings, including some 20,000 people still sheltering at the badly damaged sports stadium which was used as an evacuation centre," said Ms. Amos who arrived in the Philippines on 12 November to take stock of the situation and humanitarian response.
"Medical facilities, food, clean water and basic sanitation are still not available to almost everyone. Twelve foot waves from the storm surge that accompanied the typhoon destroyed almost every structure in the city."
Over 25 international humanitarian organizations, including response teams from other countries, UN, the Red Cross, NGOs and the International Organization for Migration, are supporting the Government's efforts to respond to the crisis. They continue to bolster their efforts but are still facing major access and logistical challenges due to the destruction.
The humanitarian chief, who met with members of the humanitarian community in Tacloban, said that trucks, motorcycles, generators and telecommunications equipment was urgently needed. She added that a large-scale cash-for-work programme was needed immediately to help clear roads littered with debris.
The Government and humanitarian organizations launched a flash appeal yesterday calling for $301 million and have received 13 per cent of the funding so far. They are reaching people with food, shelter and water purification supplies as well as psychosocial support.
Ms. Amos also met with Philippines officials in Tacloban leading the disaster response efforts. Tomorrow (14 November), she is expected to give a press conference in Manila.

ARSC HPC Users' Newsletter 282, December 5 2003
HLRS Wins Grid Contest at SC2003... with ARSC participation
ARSC contributed cycles from iceflyer to a global computational grid as part of the HPC Challenge at SC2003. The grid used a distributed version of MPI to run a bioinformatics code analyzing the evolution of arthropods.
The organizer of the project was HLRS, the Stuttgart High Performance Computing Center, and this project won the SC2003 HPC Challenge award.
A world map showing the participants, plus more descriptions of the software and project, is available at:
X1: PBS Limits Issues
PBS scripts on the ARSC X1 should specify only one time limit, "walltime".
The T3E concept of "MPP time" is not supported. "CPU time" is supported, but is cumulative so a script for an N CPU job would need to request the desired per-processor CPU time multiplied by N. We have rejected this limit as too confusing. "Per Process CPU time" is supported, but a PBS job can run a series of processes as well as a parallel processes, so this limit could be abused.
Thus, for now at least, we've settled on "walltime" as the only configured time limit for PBS scripts. The following would request 8 hours:
#PBS -l walltime=8:00:00
Note that "walltime" only accumulates while the job is in the "run" state. Thus, the job isn't cheated out of time by being migrated or checkpointed.
If your X1 batch job needs more than the default of 1 MSP, then your PBS script must request the number of processors. Use either the "mppe" or "mppssp" limit, but not both, as follows
#PBS -l mppe=<NUMBER OF MSPS>
#PBS -l mppssp=<NUMBER OF SSPS>
We recently discovered that if a script requests both "mppe" and "mppssp", PBS sums the two requests to determine the overall resource requirements of the job. A user was thus inadvertently requesting more processors than exist on the system, and PBS (appropriately) never started his job.
It's not required, but for clarity and consistency we suggest that your PBS script request MSPs if the executable code it will run was compiled in MSP mode. Similarly, request SSPs for executables compiled in SSP mode.
The system doesn't actually care. If your request is large enough, and you make the conversion 1 MSP == 4 SSPs, you can run an SSP-mode application in a script which requested MSPs and vice versa.
We don't anticipate much need for this, but if you execute both MSP and SSP applications from the same PBS script, you should still only request mppe or mppssp, but not both.
#PBS -q default # Submit to routing queue "default" #PBS -l mppe=4 # Request 4 MSPs (16 SSPs) #PBS -l walltime=8:00:00 # Request 8 hours walltime #PBS -j eo # Combine stderr/stdout in output file #PBS -S /bin/sh # Use this shell # cd back to the directory from which the script was submitted cd $QSUB_O_WORKDIR mpirun -np 4 ./a.out_msp # run an MSP mode executable mpirun -np 16 ./a.out_ssp # run an SSP mode executable
Iceflyer Hardware Upgrade
The 32 processors of ARSC's IBM Regatta server have been upgraded to 1.7GHz (6.8 GFLOPS) p690+ processors.
As described in issue #277 , iceflyer is partitioned into two nodes. Given this upgrade, these nodes now have the attributes:
ferry (interactive node): 7 p690+ processors: 14 GB memory umiak (batch node): 24 p690+ processors: 48 GB memory

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ Sorry, I can't convert decimal to hex in my head. Anyone have a [[ handy way to convert numbers between bases? A Unix utility or [[ something better, perhaps? # # Five completely different answers... something for everone... # # # From Jed Brown # A quick answer is "bc," the POSIX arbitrary precision calculator. There are two special variables, ``ibase'' and ``obase'' which specify the base of input and output respectively. There is no restriction to integers. The following command returns, in base 16, the value of the Bessel function J_5(7.3). % echo 'obase=16; j(5,7.3)' bc -l .504F0C308EAD23048 # # From Kurt Carlson # While I prefer to use my handy HP calculator, nawk is your friend: % echo 100 nawk '{printf("%d=0x%x\n",$1,$1)}' 100=0x64 # # From Brad Chamberlain # Here's my quick-and-dirty cheat: fire up gdb. To get hex->decimal, just ask to print a hex expression, C-style: (gdb) p 0x1234abcd $1 = 305441741 Cast your base-10 integer as a pointer to go back from decimal->hex, (gdb) p (void*)305441741 $2 = 0x1234abcd Not the most appropriate tool for the job perhaps, but since it's one I already use and am comfortable with, it tends to be easier for me to remember how to use than any other... # # From Greg Newby # If you just want a table of values for letters and numbers, use "man ascii" which lists values from 0-255 and their ASCII equivalent, in hex, octal and decimal. Another way is the Unix "printf" command (not to be confused with the functions in C and other languages with the same name). Print a decimal value in it's hex equivalent (to two places): % printf "%02x\n" 255 ff Print a hex value in its decimal equivalent: % printf "%03d\n" 0x100 256 # # From the editor # Korn shell users can define the base of an input literal with the syntax, "[base]#value". Set the ouput base of a variable with the command, "typeset -i[base] variable". (The default base is 10.) % let h=2#1000000 % echo $h 64 % % let j=1023 % typeset -i2 j % echo $j 2#1111111111 % typeset -i16 j % echo $j 16#3ff % let j=2#1000000 % echo $j 16#40 Q: I'm finally appreciating the benefits of the "find" command, but here's a problem. When I use grep from a find command, grep doesn't tell me the names of the files! Sure I've got hits, but what good is it if I can't tell what files they're in? % find . -name "*.f" -exec grep -i flush6 {} \; include(flush6) !!dvo!! include(flush6) !!dvo!! include(flush6) include(flush6) include(flush6) include(flush6) Any suggestions?

The citizens of Austin have been engaged in a 24-year battle to preserve Town Lake, now
Ladybird Lake, from over-aggressive development. Save Town Lake (STL) is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to protecting and preserving Austin's downtown waterfront for everyone.
Oppose the latest development proposal violating the 86 ordinance.
Winner of the "Livable City Vision Award"
"For preserving the special character of our community
and making Austin a more Livable City."
We support responsible development that respects the rights of everyone to enjoy Lady Bird Lake and our parks and trails. STL is committed to the enforcement of the 1986 Waterfront Overlay ordinance which is overwhelmingly supported by Austin citizens.
Our ongoing commitment is to keep working for the community's interests relating to the Lady Bird Lake environment and the adjacent parks and trails. We partner with neighborhoods, parks advocates, the City of Austin, and everyone who enjoys our lake to keep development compatible and respectful of our community values.
Our goals and objectives are set by our Mission Statement. Save Town Lake brings together concerned citizens from Austin and around the country to preserve one of our city's most cherished places. From joggers and hikers to festival-goers and local residents, we all recognize that Lady Bird Lake, or Town Lake as it was formerly known, is parkland that forms the geographic heart of the city and one of its cultural centers. It hosts runners, bikers, dogs and their owners, kayakers, nature-lovers, and anyone looking for open space and a breath of fresh air. Trees, brilliant sky, and long views of the city and the Hill Country beyond it characterize the beauty of this area.
Past Accomplishments
Stopped the largest high-rise condo development proposal in Austin History from grossly violating the 86 Ordinance that was originally submitted to be within 60 feet of Lady Bird Lake to a height of over 200 feet.
Rallied support resulting in generating thousands of emails to the Austin City Council and Planning Commission.
Engaged an independent polling company showing over 80% of Likely voters support our efforts to protect and uphold the spirit of the 1986 Waterfront Overlay Ordinance.
Future Goals
Immediate goal is broading participation to protect the waterfront, uphold the the 1986 WO, support the Waterfront Ordinance Task Force (WOTF) findings and to support the view of the overwelming majority of Austinites.
Focus now includes requiring a unanimous vote by Council to supercede the 86 ordinance and to STOP back room negotiations on every PUD where the proximity to the ladybird lake waterfront is in play and the sky is literally the limit.
THE SIZE AND SCALE OF FUTURE PROJECTS ON THE WATERFRONT ARE MORE DANGEROUS THAN EVER DUE TO THE NEW PUD ORDINANCE (Pooling of multiple land tracks to qualify for exemptions under the new ordinance).
SaveTownLake.org's mission statement
To protect and preserve Austin's most precious resource; Town Lake and the Town Lake
Corridor (TLC). We support responsible development along the TLC while promoting public awareness of the City's highest regulatory standards. We advocate for strong adherence to current City code, especially the Waterfront Overlay (WO) established in 1986. Our goal is to maintain the integrity of the TLC for all of Austin.

Task Force to Expand Access to Civil Legal Services Issues New Report to Chief Judge
Monday, December 10, 2012
- Pro Bono Net
The Task Force to Expand Access to Civil Legal Services, created by New York's Chief Judge in 2010, issued its third report in November. The report includes a number of new recommendations, including increasing funding in the Judiciary budget for civil legal services, raising the recommended number of annual pro bono hours for New York lawyers, and increasing the role of non-lawyer advocates to bridge the justice gap.
One of the Task Force's key proposals is an increase in the amount of Judiciary budget funding dedicated to civil legal services. In the current fiscal year, the budget allocation was $25 million; the Task Force recommended an additional $15 million for the coming fiscal year. In addition to increasing capacity to provide services, the authors noted that investment in civil legal services benefits New York state economically, returning approximately six dollars for every dollar of funding.
Another highlight of the report was a recommendation to increase the number of pro bono hours New York lawyers are encouraged to perform. While New York Rule of Professional Conduct 6.1 currently encourages lawyers to perform at least 20 pro bono hours annually, the Task Force recommends increasing that number to 50. Additionally, the Task Force would create a new pro bono hours reporting requirement as part of the Biennial Attorney Registration.
The report also noted the contribution that non-lawyers make to civil legal services provision, and proposed creating a pilot program to increase this involvement. The Task Force cited a number of roles that non-lawyers currently play, including providing courthouse information to litigants but not individualized assistance, and participating in administrative hearings on public benefits issues. Given their present involvement, the Task Force recommended that the pilot program focus on housing assistance, consumer credit, or foreclosure.
The Task Force's full report is available at http://www.nycourts.gov/ip/access-civil-legal-services/PDF/CLS-TaskForceREPORT_Nov-2012.pdf.

Hilarious! I recommend that all Lego fans see it. Why? I'll not spolierize (aside from the comments in light gray font below)... yet!
SW characters appear; and some of them are the actual movie actors' voices!
Batman's brooding is pretty funny.
the 1980s-era space man character is great (you see the actual space sets, plus the crack in his helmet strap and the faded ship logo on his chest).
Live action actors towards the end.
A great, funny film. For both adults and kids.

Saw on ESPN that there were 13,000 tickets for Sunday's playoff game with the 49'ers against the Packers.
Decided that I needed to experience a playoff game at Lambeau field. To my surprise, my wife (an Arizona Native) wanted to go. Got four tickets at the 50 yard line, 25 rows up. Should be a hoot.
Any clothing tips? Other tips on what to bring? Weather forecast is 9 degrees with 10 mph wind. Yikes that will be cold!

Chrysler Group LLC's Ram truck division said it will begin selling a version of its Ram 1500 pickup with a diesel engine – a feature rival truck makers offer only in commercial-oriented heavy-duty models, or don't offer at all.
The coming truck, which will arrive in the third quarter of this year as a 2014 model, will have a 3.0-liter V6 called the EcoDiesel, and an eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Chrysler said it expects this powertrain combination to give the vehicle best-in-class fuel economy.
"Truck owners have been emphatically asking for it, and Ram will be the only manufacturer to offer a diesel powertrain in the half-ton segment with the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel," said Fred Diaz, president and CEO of the Ram brand and Chrysler de Mexico.
The diesel Ram is part of a broad program at Chrysler to chip away at its market-share deficit compared with "Detroit Three" rivals Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. The Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado light-duty pickups have long outsold the Ram. The company hopes to attract a wider range of customers, including personal-use buyers, by offering more features including engine options.
"The half-ton truck market is incredibly competitive," Diaz said, noting the latest Ram has won a number of awards but cannot rest on its laurels. "We must keep pushing," he said.
Chrysler said the 2014 Ram's turbo diesel engine is manufactured by VM Motori, which has supplied the company with diesels since 1992.
