Where I stayed
Today we got settled around noon and set off 40 minutes North to Hershey. I had no idea Hershey was so big! Mr. Milton Hershey has built up quite a community next to THE BIGGEST CHOCOLATE FACTORY IN THE WORLD! (Every time the tour guide says that we cheer really loud....so she gives us more chocolate! .....Pavlov's dogs, I tell you....)
So Mr. Hershey was quite a guy. He tried to sell carmel in several cities and failed. Many times. But [fortunately for us}, he perservered!! One day he decided to try to make chocolate and it worked
We toured Hershey World. Watched a BIG 3D movie about...you guessed it....chocolate. Learned to be taste testers! Got a certificate too! Took a tour (movie of the factory) which was like the Haunted House ride at Disney, without the ghosts. And we took a trolley ride through the town with two actors telling us all about the history.
We bought too many souveneirs. Too much chocolate! And had a great day!
When we got "home", the kids found the little stream in the campground. People were catching trout. So now they want to go fishing. There are millions of fireflies here. Especially blinking around the corn fields at dusk.
Tomorrow we are going to explore Philadelphia. Liberty Bell, Independance Hall!
The kids got to talk to Closer Gramma today. They were pretty excited to tell her about the chocolate factory.


text: Klaus Moje works with coloured glass in flat, geometric compositions, using techniques developed from the traditions of fused mosaic glass. These glass works engage the viewer through their ingenuity and exploitation of glass's particular qualities of translucence and refraction, where the edge of one colour bleeds into the next. The sense of looking at the world though a prism or kaleidoscope is evoked in Moje's work, and this is shown in his recent series of flat panels. Each suggests a kaleidoscopic window where the view is cut and reorganised. Shin shu blue takes the imagery of the sky and clouds, and subjects it to this process of deconstruction and reorganisation. It does not suggest a painterly view of the world, rather it is an observation of a particular moment of light, glimpsed as if through a windowpane or in a chance reflection from other glass.

BOSS DR-110 Dr. Rhythm Graphic
In 1980, Roland introduced their first simple and affordable drum machine to bear the BOSS Dr. Rhythm brand (the DR-55), offering four sounds, an Accent and a limited number of programmable patterns. It was followed by the Dr. Rhythm Graphic (DR-110) in 1983, which offers a wider selection of sounds, preset patterns, an increased number of programmable patterns and the ability to chain patterns together to form songs. The simple step programming of the first Dr. Rhythm, with alternating button presses for notes and rests, is augmented by an LCD with a grid showing the individual notes in the current pattern. In addition to step programming there is also a "tap write" programming mode, albeit without a metronome click for timekeeping.
The sounds are Kick, Snare, Closed Hi-Hat, Open Hi-Hat, Cymbal and Clap. The sounds are totally analog, and sound crisp and punchy, thanks to tone generation circuitry that is more sophisticated than the Roland TR-606 Drumatix. A balance knob alters the level of the Kick, Snare and Clap relative to the other sounds, while an accent knob controls the amount of emphasis applied to accented steps. There is also a volume knob, which controls the overall level of both the main and headphone outputs. The main output is mono, but has an unusual feature whereby plugging in a suitable wired lead with a stereo jack plug allows for the feeding in of another signal to be mixed with the drum sounds. Another socket provides for a trigger signal, emitting a pulse for every accented step in a pattern.
The patterns are organized into four banks of eight patterns each. Banks C and D are the presets, while banks A and B are programmable. Each pattern can be switched between 12 or 16 steps, for a 3/4 or 4/4 time signature. Two songs can be programmed, each containing a maximum of 128 bars.
At the time of writing, the Dr. Rhythm Graphic is relatively affordable compared to similar machines such as the Roland TR-606 Drumatix, and are usually found in good condition thanks to the padded carry case that they came with. On the downside, there are no outputs or tone controls for the individual sounds, but a number of well documented modifications can be found on the Internet that add these features.

Had this sent to me recently. After pondering whether or not to post this on RTF for a while, I've decided it's just too good to not share with my fellow NASCAR rednecks.
AP Wire -- Raleigh, NC
Jeff Gordon announced today that he was firing his entire pit crew. This announcement followed Gordon's decision to take advantage of President Obama's scheme to employ Black Harlem youngsters. The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent documentary on how unemployed Black youths from Harlem were able to remove a set of wheels in less than six seconds without proper equipment, whereas Gordon's existing crew could only do it in eight seconds with thousands of dollars worth of high tech equipment.
It was thought to be an excellent and bold move by Gordon's management team, as many races are won or lost in the pits.
However, Gordon got more than he bargained for. At the crew's first practice session, not only was the inexperienced Black crew able to change all four wheels in under six seconds, but within nine seconds they had changed the paint scheme, altered the VIN number, and sold the car to Dale Earnhardt Jr. for ten cases of Bud, a bag of weed, and some photos of Jeff Gordon's wife in the shower.

Maybe this should go in the announcments section?
Between my two tanks, my 55 gallon and my 20 Long, I have not experienced any disease or fish death since Christmas.
My stocking is most likely frowned upon and unconventional, but all species in my tanks have been growing and living peacefully and thriving and increasing my life's enjoyment for 6 months straight with no drama. I have steadily kept up with routine 50% water changes every two weeks, and I have gotten very lax on testing water perameters because they are always the same.
Good? Bad? Have I made it as a fish keeper now? I dont know, but I feel proud.
Yeah I frown on your stocking decision. Some of those species are known not to live well together. Some of your species should have more of them in your 55. Basing this off your profile so if it's not up-to-date you should think about updating it.
I would think we all get a little relaxed when it comes to testing our water, heck some here have mentioned only testing a few times a year for an established tank. If you change things up though, e.g. add more fish or some die (hopefully just natural causes), complete tests to ensure all is still good.

Your stocking is unconventional, but I've seen people do worse. Sometimes these things work, often they don't. 6 months may be a little early to be sure, since most of your fish probably aren't matured/adults yet. They may get more territorial and wreak havoc on your tank. You never know - they're animals.
Congrats on no disease/death since Christmas, though. That's a feat. =]
Agreed on the testing params. Unless there's something off in your tank, like a random fish death, and your params are typically the same every time you check (and you already understand your tap water's chemistry) you shouldn't have to check your tank params all the time. I'm in the same boat as a lot on here, in that I rarely ever check my params anymore, unless I'm investigating why something is happening - like fish deaths/algae growth/etc.
Hope your fish continue to do well with each other. One thing's for sure - you probably have a pretty active and fun tank to watch. I'd keep an eye on the shark and barbs, though, once they get older.Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story

Fish can live a surprising long time if kept in proper conditions. I now have black skirt tetra's that are 9 years old! I have a couple otto's that are 5 years old. But yes, your fish are happy and you have become a good fish keeper.
You've come a long way kid, I remember when you used to post all the time about how certain fish didn't make it or a new disease had hit your tank. Sometimes you have to learn through trial and error. Good job.
Kevin gives good advice on your shark though, the older they get the meaner they get.

Ah, your tiger barbs were already moved. Good on you. =]
New prob - the CAE. lol I know, I know... things are going well. They get more aggressive as they mature, though. So you have two fish to watch in your 55. The Rainbow Shark and the Chinese Algae Eater. The CAE might try to suck the slime coat off your bigger fish, like the Plecos and will probably fight amongst the other bottom dwellers.Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story

Have a fish problem? Fill out and post this completed questionnaire in the General Aquarium Forum, when you start a new thread.
I started off with one clown pleco who was painfully shy. But he has shown a different side twice now and its interesting how aggressive he can be. He has his favorite spot in the tank, if the other pleco or farlowella try to encroach, he move like lightning and makes sure they know its his space.
Then during feeding time, there are some passive aggressive nudging that takes place over the algae wafer, but all 3 are guilty of that.
Yeah I have eyes on the CAE. There is a great independent fish store by my work who welcomes my over grown fish. I have taken him two CAEs that were over 4" and one fully grown opaline gourami. He gave me some discounts and said they sold in two days. I enjoy the time they have in my tank and I am happy to rotate them out when things get crazy. But for $1 per fish at Pet smart, and I get 4-6 months out of a CAE and the pet shop sells them for $5. Its a good system.
You're like a fish foster home. ;P That's a nice setup. Does the shop pay you for your fish?Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story

Only store in the world I know of with absolutely nothing anybody wants in stock for more than a few mintues. Well, possibly the Apple store as well....
I sadly reflect on this line sometimes and wish I had gotten into it more.....Although that's sort of a lie since I was into the line twice and both times sold off my figures. :(
The price is a big thing for me, but they do look outstanding no doubt. That and the way they go about selling them and how the customers are treated is just sad. :(
Successfully ordered 6 Roboto's. Anyone here need one? I'd be willing to trade for one I need MOC :)
Any chance I could convince you to sell me one of them there Robotos? I totally spaced and missed out on the one figure I was most looking forward to this year! I'd trade, but I'm only in this for the sheer enjoyment, and never buy multiples and always open them.
Matty's site was not as bad for me today as it has been in the past. Battlecat is now mine. I'm only missing Tytus now.
Vikor arrived swiftly yesterday. Matty sure knows how to ship...
Nice Maradona! Looking forward to the hell I'm going to have to endure on Tuesday....Going to try to get 2 sets of Palace Guards....still uncertain about Vikor or Goddess if I want to collect the ones I don't really know much about.
I'm sure the white screen of death awaits us both, DQ.

Since Florida made the transition to fast-pitch softball in 1994, it's been a case of feast or famine for most teams. Teams are either good or bad, depending mostly on their development of a pitcher. The Munroe Lady Cats softball team ran up on two struggling programs last week — FAMU and East Gadsden — on their way to a 2-1 week this past week.
The Robert F. Munroe Bobcats enjoyed something they were unable to accomplish last season: a 3-0 week.
In doing so, the team defeated the Florida State University School (Florida High) and Wakulla on consecutive nights before besting FAMU in their first district game.
The long dry spell has ended.
After going winless all of last season and the beginning of this one, the Bobcats of Robert F. Munroe secured their first two victories with home wins over Poplar Springs on Tuesday, Jan. 14, and Brookwood on Thursday, Jan. 24.
The Robert F. Munroe Bobcat Baseball teams will begin their 2014 season with an opening day ceremony Saturday, Feb. 2, at Bradford May Field. The activities will start at 2 p.m. and include team skills competitions, a Red and Gray inter-squad game, fan participation events and an alumni game. The RFM Baseball Boosters will also serve catfish dinners from 4 to 6 p.m. All proceeds will support the needs of Bobcat Baseball. One upcoming project will be the construction of a new covered batting and practice facility scheduled to be built in early February.
Times Sports Correspondent
This past Saturday night, West Gadsden and Rickards went head to head in Greensboro. Both teams came out and displayed an extreme look of focus during their pregame warm-up drills. Though it was an away game for them, the Raiders had a good number of fans in attendance.
Times Sports Correspondent
The East Gadsden Jaguars loped through contests with Lincoln and then Port St. Joe in their final regular season contests last week to run their record to an impressive 17-6.
This past Thursday, the East Gadsden Jaguars ended their regular season on the road against the Rickards Raiders. The bright lights of the North Florida Fair provided a perfect backdrop for the game. With 8:46 left in the first quarter, the Raiders scored the first touchdown of the game, which gave them a 7-0 lead over the Jaguars.
In what turned out to be a harder-fought contest than might have been expected, the Munroe Bobcats held on to win against the Panthers of John Paul II, who had only one win on the season, this past Friday in Tallahassee at Florida High's field.
After a shaky start, the Robert F. Munroe Bobcats found their groove and throttled visiting Temple Christian Academy from Jacksonville on a crisp homecoming night this past Friday at Corry Field.
Temple started the scoring with a 40-yard pass from quarterback Donald Brown to receiver Tywann Williams on the opening possession. The Bobcats answered on a methodical 70-yard drive that culminated with a Myles Edwards 2-yard run (Cole Skipper kick) to take the lead 7-6.
The Munroe volleyball team defeated a very good FAMU-DRS volleyball team twice during the regular season. Once they won in five games, going overtime in the fifth game of the match before winning 17-15. The second time they met, the Lady Cats played some of their best volleyball of the year and dominated the Rattlers in three straight games.

Fresh shot flyers on a very hot day do not cool and thus tend to stink quickly, (unless you proactively take them out of the field and put them in a fridge / freezer to cool them). Recently thawed birds start out cool so tend to take longer than those hot fresh shot flyers to start to decay.

Still some way(land) to go
Ignoring, because I can, this whole Ubuntu Mir thing completely, I have begun to learn stuff about the Wayland protocol (and about Clojure, with which I am still at the constantly-having-to-google-stuff stage). Some random notes on what I have learnt so far
First off: Java has no builtin support for talking to unix-domain
AF_FILE) sockets. And nobody seems to make a Maven-packaged library
that does it either. This is a shame because Leiningen makes Maven
manageable, but anything unmavened involved tedious mucking around.
Eventually I did
:; apt-get install libunixsocket-java :; cat project.clj (defproject psadan "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT" :description "FIXME: write description" :resource-paths ["/usr/share/java/unix-0.5.jar"] :url "http://example.com/FIXME" :jvm-opts ["-Djava.library.path=native/:/usr/lib/jni/"] :main psadan.core :license {:name "Eclipse Public License" :url "http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html"} :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.3.0"] [org.clojure/data.zip "0.1.1"] ])
which seems to be holding up. Then I opened a socket and tried reading from it in the hope of getting some lovely protocoly stuff
(defn open-socket [name] (let [s (cx.ath.matthew.unix.UnixSocket. name) in (. s getInputStream) out (. s getOutputStream) ] {:socket s :input in :output out}))
(def socket (open-socket "/home/dan/private/wayland-0"))
(defn rd [] (let [buf (byte-array 1024)] (. (:input socket) (read buf)) buf))
and watched it hang. After some time looking at documentation and
mucking about with strace to see if it was trying to read the full
buffer instead of doing the dhort read I wanted it to, I eventually
thought to use
socat instead of clojure. It turns out that the
client is expected to make the first request before the server sends
anything, and with the use of
strace weston-info I was able to find
out what.
26335 sendmsg(3, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"\1\0\0\0\1\0\f\0\2\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\f\0\3\0\0\0", 24}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_DONTWAIT|MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 24
Time to start writing some code to parse wayland.xml so we can actually find out what this means. The usual way to do XML parsing in clojure seems to be using zippers and the easy examples seem to be somewhat lacking or slightly ungooglable. You need a project dependency on org.clojure/data.zip and a bunch of package requires, then you call clojure.zip/xml-zip on the return value of clojure.xml/parse and that gets you a zipper
(ns psadan.core (:require [clojure.xml] [clojure.data.zip :as dz] [clojure.data.zip.xml :as x] [clojure.walk] [clojure.zip :as z])) ;; [...] (def the-protocol (-> "/home/dan/wayland/source/wayland/protocol/wayland.xml" clojure.xml/parse z/xml-zip parse-protocol))
where I have conveniently left out the definition of parse-protocol and everything it calls because it's longwinded and tedious (but the code will be on github as soon as I'm not ashamed of it) but it might hypothetically do things like
(x/xml-> my-zipper :protocol :interface :request)
to descend the tree through <protocol> <interface> <request>
and return all the elements. Use the similarly named
x/xml1-> to
get the first matching element. The return values from these things
are themselves zippers and you can call
down etc – or
again – to traverse the tree further, then eventually call
node when
you want to get the element itself. So e.g.
(defn parse-interface [i n] ;; n is a badly named zippered xml object thingy (let [el (z/node n) requests (map-indexed parse-message (x/xml-> n :request)) events (map-indexed parse-message (x/xml-> n :event)) enums (map parse-enum (x/xml-> n :enum))] {:index i :name (:name (:attrs el)) :requests requests :events events :enums enums }))
So let's handwave over the details and take it on trust that I have parsed the whole file. There are two other things I discovered - mostly thanks to the #wayland IRC channel participants – about the wayland wire protocol that the docs don't mention:
- where it says "The first word is the sender's object id (32-bit)", when it's describing a message sent from client to compositor, what it means is "The first word is the target object's id (32-bit)".
- object id 1 is special: it refers to the core global singleton
object, which implements the interface
Given which, we can attempt to parse that first client→compositor message
psadan.core> (parse-messages-from-buf (vec (.getBytes "\1\0\0\0\1\0\f\0\2\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\f\0\3\0\0\0")) :requests) ({:object-id 1, :bytes 12, :interface "wl_display", :message "get_registry", :opcode 1, :args (2)} {:object-id 1, :bytes 12, :interface "wl_display", :message "sync", :opcode 0, :args (3)})
Looks plausible so far …
Next up, some code to create messages. And something, which may involve an atom, to map object ids to their corresponding interfaces as we learn them. After that, we find out what the Wayland FAQ really means by "shareable buffer"

Argh. So much for keeping up a good, up-to-date diary.
Scary stuff. I'm slowly wading through the current squid filesystem layout, trying to build something better(tm). Exactly what that is is up for debate, but it involves more abstraction... Seriously, it's interesting stuff, trying to make ufs and aufs share more code while at the same time present a more useful interface for plugging different things (like sfs and coss) into. Will get there, slowly.
Way too slow - need to find time and space to put some serious hours into this again, it's languishing for lack of world-level coding.
Still addictive.
Still happening, main client was purchased by some telco or other, so they're madly trying to justify the product's existence I suspect - hope they do, because it is a good product, and I do actually enjoy working on it, mostly ;)
Other clients are slowly appearing - atm, I'm doing html/zope work that I really don't want to be doing because we seem to have a surfeit of low-level techies and a shortage of html-types. Ah well. Have also picked up some unix consulting work for a gov dept, which looks like it'll be ongoing - on the strength of making sure the work done is done well. Note to people doing consulting/contracting: When you're asked to setup tripwire, and you just install it without actually removing all the bodgy stuff/configuring it, that's a good path to not being asked back for more work. So we've been spending time setting up the installation of tripwire the previous guy threw on there. Hehe.
Well, dogs, but he looks like a ferret... pjf got a rabbit, Jimmy (half-blue heeler, half-jack russel, all ferret) is currently running up and down the fence-line whinging because he can't go, um, introduce himself to said rabbit... Oh boy.
That's all.

The Miami Dolphins was created by founder Joe Robbie as an expansion team in 1966. The Dolphins are the oldest major-league professional sports franchise in Florida which has been in continuous operation there.
The 1971 season saw the Dolphins compete in the Super Bowl for the first time. Although they lost to the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl VI, the Dolphins made an astounding comeback the following year, winning all 14 of the 1972 season's games, including both of the playoff games as well as Super Bowl VII, and accomplishment that never happened before or since. The 1973 season was also a record breaking achievement for the Dolphins. Although not achieving another perfect year, they won the 1974 season's Super Bowl VIII, becoming the first team to appear in three Bowls in a row, and winning in two consecutive Super Bowl games.
Legendary Don Shula was the coach for the Dolphins in the teams early years. Shula is the most successful of all football coaches in history, achieving more winning games than any other professional football coach.

Rumblings of K-1 World Grand Prix Final 8 in NYC Moving to Jan. to Air Live on Spike TV Emerge
- Written by Dave Walsh
Seeing as though after this weekend, the next big K-1 Heavyweight event was set to be the K-1 World Grand Prix Final 8 originating from New York City on December 26th -- or so we thought. There are rumblings coming out of Japan tonight that the date may be pushed back to some time in January to air it live on Spike TV here in the United States, which would make a whole hell of a lot more sense than streaming it via UStream on Spike's website for $10. As WWE and the UFC can tell you, the PPV business is a fickle mistress, and things can drop off in the blink of an eye or simply never pick up. Never mind when it comes to internet stream PPVs, which is a harder sell, to say the least.
If this is true, this will be huge for K-1, to be able to air an event originating from the US live on a major cable network.
We will keep you updated on this story and more K-1 news throughout the weekend.

Ok ... I have not wrtitten a diary entry for a long time ... now I think I should continue with that.
dietlibc target
For the beginning PERL SUX terribly!!! At least build time ;)
After some intensive work I got the dietlibc target to compile through. It was a lot of work ... but it was very productive. Now most packets do compile and I already made the first test installation of the target.
What is missing (build time)
here is the output of ./scripts/Create-ErrList :
Error logs from default-2.0.0-rc2-x86-dietlibc-expert: [1] base/linux24 [3] base/autoconf [5] base/linux24 [5] base/linux26 [5] base/autoconf [5] base/dump [9] base/linux26-src [9] base/linux24 [9] base/linux26 [9] base/autoconf [9] base/dump 151 builds total, 140 completed fine, 11 with errors.
As you can see linux2[46] are not compiling. That is due to some little problems in the drivers but not only that. The biggest problem is the missing perl in the build. That also prevents autoconf to compile.
I have already tryed to compile perl. Some people reported that it is possible and that it works pretty well. Aarad from dietlinux said that I need an other math library. But an other person reported that I only need to set the configuration options in config.sh correctly. I have tryed it and it compiled through up to the tiny perl binary that coredumped while executing Makefile.pl ... very strange. I will have to invest bit more time in that ... perhups today night. But I have to say Perl has a really nasty and ugly build/configuration system I have seen ever. Autoconf is really nice against it. (autoconf sux too but that is an other story (I will never understand why it has been rewritten in perl >_< ))
dump is also missing. The guys from the dump project use all possible gnu extinations. I have already fixed most problems that occure during the build and will report about that when I am finished. I will also send the diff upstream. Because most things are real bugs in my eyes. This program is not portable the way it is made currently. I was really running up the walls while fixing it.
What is missing (runtime)
ip was missing in my build. It is fixed now because iproute2 was disabled for the target. I also fixed it so that it builds hopefully correctly under dietlibc.
agetty is giving a login prompt and accepts a user name but when you type enter after the username nothing happens besides that agetty get's restarted. Looks like a coredump. It also needs further investigation.
Of course linux kernel is missing in the build so I took the kernel out of the install disk. It will be gone as soon as I get linux kernel working what most likely also means running perl >_< (I really go mad seeing that kernel build needs perl I know that there was a long discussion on the LKML about it but I still am a big enemy of such dependancies perl is not a trivial tool to compile like bash for god sake *headshake* I really do not want to scream more here)
Lot of work
Ok that is all for now... The target still needs a lot of work. But it seems that it will be usable soon.
If you want to help me get the rocklinux dietlibc related patches from the Rock Linux mailinglist apply it to the current SVN:HEAD and test it. They are not yet applyed because Rene is still working on his rc1+fixes tag for his PPC build. But they should come in soon. My dietlibc patches count over 30 parts. and I have another 5 lying on my harddisk. The count will grow. I hope that my work will not create any regressions. The dietlibc target is is also used in the bootdisc target. That means that if I make a mistake there it will break one of the most importaint parts of ROCK. That really scares me. I hope that I will see the bugs as soon as possible and will be able to fix them in time. I really do not want that because of me the release of the final 2.0 ROCK release will have to be postponed. That also means that I need testers!!!
The last word. If you have questions or problems please contact me.
And one more thing. Fefe dietlibc really get's better and better. Congrats! ;)

The bailouts are the biggest crimes perpetrated against the American taxpayer since the ethanol scam.
The next gen gasification ethanol produced from crop residue at $1 per gallon (also utilizing next gen filtration over distilation), or from other biowaste at $0.20 per gallon is not a scam. The technology is just now coming on line, but requirs a little higher oil prices before many plants will be built. Even then there is a transporation problem since special pipelines would need to be built. I haven't checked into railroad tranportation, but if the plants aren't within a decent distance to a market, the trucking costs can easly jump to $1 per gallon.
Honostly though, I don't know how standard fermenation ethanol plants survive. The business case doesn't support them without grants installing them, and the owners selling out as soon as possible???? They may have had some profit when gas was at $4, but losing big $$$ now.
Sorry for derailing this thread.

Engineers believe that if it isn't broken, it doesn't have enough features yet.

RIP HR Britton's Gold Ginger Spice JH 02/18/2002 to 11/07/2014
It was inevitable, President George W. Bush is at fault.
Ethanol is a prime example of leaping before you look. In an effort to get off oil (or whatever reason you like to chose) ethanol was pushed in a big way including building refineries for ethanol rather than new oil refineries . My prediction is that ethanol is a distant memory of a failed experiment in 5-10 years and if it were not for BIG CORN being involved it would not take that long.
BTW- at a gas station yesterday some dork pulled up at the pump next to me in a tiny, tiny little car that I couldn't fit into if I folded my legs in half and stcuk my head up my butt. I couldn't help but laugh as I topped off my BIG truck for $40 as they changed the sign to reflect yet another drop in gas prices

Somebody was asking about this a while back. This is the heart of the matter at the big three. Wages and failure to compete have driven them to the point they are at and it will continue to do so until they are gone. I dont see it as that big a deal because someone will profit from their demise whit a business model more like Toyota or Honda. You can build cars and make money it is proven. What you cannot do is pay people 5-10 times what they are worth to do a job and you cannot let a union beat you into submission
Here are some taken from Forbes:
Labor cost per hour, wages and benefits for hourly workers.
Ford: $70.51 ($141,020 per year)
GM: $73.26 ($146,520 per year)
Chrysler: $75.86 ($151,720 per year)
Toyota, Honda, Nissan (in U.S.): $48.00 ($96,000 per year)
According to American Association of University Professors and Institute of Education Sciences, the average annual compensation for a college professor in 2006 was $92,973 (average salary nationally of $73,207 plus 27 percent benefits).
Bottom Line: The average United Auto Workers (UAW) worker with a high school degree earns 57.6 percent more than the average university professor with a Ph.D., and 52.6 percent more than the average worker at Toyota, Honda or Nissan.
These guys are making more than teachers, physical therapist, nuclear technicians, some attorneys, nurses, engineers, pilots embryologist, all people with college education and highly skilled. I am not knocking trades people, but the point I am trying to make is that most of the professions listed could easily learn to do a job on the assembly line but the same is not true of taking someone off the assembly line and making them a professional (of course some could, but not everybody or even the majority of them). You have to pay for work based on a level of difficulty if you will
Then there's the "Job Bank".
When one of the Big Three lays off an employee, that employee continues to receive all benefits - medical, retirement, etc., plus an hourly wage of $31 per hour. If this does not burn you butt I dont know what will. Any body ever been on unemployment? Did you get $31/hr while on it and benefits? Retirement?
Now the Big Three wants Joe Taxpayer to pick up this tab in a $34 billion bailout package - soon to be increased to $45 billion if Nancy and Hillary have their way.
The Big Three want this money - not to build better autos - but to pay the tab for medical and retirement benefits for retired autoworkers.
Not a good deal for us taxpayers.

Well done Corey, two spot on posts.
It really pisses me off every time I gas up, and realize I am putting 10%Ethanol fuel in my vehicle that cuts my mileage down 20%; and is harmful to my engine. All because my benevolent govt. idiots, who are whores to the corn lobbyists; have mandated away my freedom to buy the gasoline that my vehicle was designed to run on.
I guarantee you that the Big 3 will be back at the govt trough for another handout in short order after this initial bailout is approved.
The "FREE" enterprise system is designed to take care of these problems in the "FREE" market place.
Remember the free enterprise system, and Capitalism? We used to have an economic system somewhat based on it.
As a matter of fact.l I remember our celebration after we proved to the Russians that Capitalism trumps Socialism. Since that time, we have slowly moved away from Capitalist, free market policies.
Lately Bush and his minions have absolutely abandoned free market Capitalism, and rushed headlong towards Socialism.
I was just watching the news at lunch and saw 1) Sen Dodd calling for a Auto czar and 2) the president of the UAW pounding his fist saying that the union has already made concessions and that he "will not allow the American worker to be the scapegoat in this bailout".
That poor old American worker making $70+/hr in wages and benefits, he is looking out for them, but more over I am sure he is looking out for himself and the UAW. I see the UAW as pretty much the same as the mafia. Do what they say or else they will resort to intimidation and thuggery to get what they want.
Of course I was soooo happy to hear Senator Dodd suggest nationalizing the auto industry so there can be a bit more corruption. The auto industry can't run itself, how is some fool in the gooberment going to help?

ZooKeeper is a high-performance coordination service for distributed applications. We've already open sourced a client library for ZooKeeper, Curator. In addition to Curator for clients, we found a need for a supervisor service that runs alongside ZooKeeper server instances. Thus, we are introducing Exhibitor and open sourcing it.
ZooKeeper Administrative Issues
Managing a ZooKeeper cluster requires a lot of manual effort — see the ZooKeeper Administrator's Guide for details. In particular, ZooKeeper is statically configured. The instances that comprise a ZooKeeper ensemble must be hard coded into a configuration file that must be identical on each ZooKeeper instance. Once the ZooKeeper instances are started it's not possible to reconfigure the ensemble without updating the configuration file and restarting the instances. If not properly done, ZooKeeper can lose quorum and client's can perceive the ensemble as being unavailable.
In addition to static configuration issues, ZooKeeper requires regular maintenance. When using ZooKeeper versions prior to 3.4.x you are advised to periodically clean up the ZooKeeper log files. Also, you are advised to have a monitor of some kind to assure that each ZooKeeper instance is up and serving requests.
Exhibitor Features
Exhibitor provides a number of features that make managing a ZooKeeper ensemble much easier:
- Instance Monitoring: Each Exhibitor instance monitors the ZooKeeper server running on the same server. If ZooKeeper is not running (due to crash, etc.), Exhibitor will rewrite the zoo.cfg file and restart it.
- Log Cleanup: In versions prior to ZooKeeper 3.4.x log file maintenance is necessary. Exhibitor will periodically do this maintenance.
- Backup/Restore: Exhibitor can periodically backup the ZooKeeper transaction files. Once backed up, you can index any of these transaction files. Once indexed, you can search for individual transactions and "replay" them to restore a given ZNode to ZooKeeper.
- Cluster-wide Configuration: Exhibitor attempts to present a single console for your entire ZooKeeper ensemble. Configuration changes made in Exhibitor will be applied to the entire ensemble.
- Rolling Ensemble Changes: Exhibitor can update the servers in the ensemble in a rolling fashion so that the ZooKeeper ensemble can stay up and in quorum while the changes are being made.
- Visualizer: Exhibitor provides a graphical tree view of the ZooKeeper ZNode hierarchy.
- Curator Integration: Exhibitor and Curator (Cur/Ex!) can be configured to work together so that Curator instances are updated for changes in the ensemble.
- Rich REST API: Exhibitor exposes a REST API for programmatic integration.
Easy To Use GUI
Exhibitor is an easy to use web application with a modern UI:
Easy To Integrate
There are two versions of Exhibitor:
- Standalone: The standalone version comes pre-configured as a Jetty-based self-contained application.
- Core: The core version can be integrated into an existing application or you can build an extended application around it.
For More Information...
- Exhibitor binaries are posted to Maven Central.
- The source code for Exhibitor is hosted at Github: https://github.com/Netflix/exhibitor
- Extensive documentation is currently at https://github.com/Netflix/exhibitor/wiki

Advocates for aggressive policies aimed at tackling climate change have quietly applauded as higher energy prices have sent the resale value of SUVs plummeting, jump-started technological competition in Detroit for low-emissions vehicles, and spurred the revival of long-moribund proposals for everything from green building codes to reinstituting a 55 mile-per-hour highway speed limit. Yet the soaring price of energy has combined with rising food prices and a general U.S. economic downturn to sour the environment for climate change legislation. The Democratic leadership in the U.S. Senate hoped it could pass a bill proposing a 71 percent reduction in U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050. But the effort failed miserably, and its opponents' claims that the legislation would add further to gasoline prices played no small role.
Lawmakers in both parties who support greenhouse-gas limits believe the fall presidential election will put them in a better position to prevail in 2009 (Politico). And as a new CFR Independent Task Force report argues, an effective U.S. foreign policy on climate change begins at home. The report provides a broad array of policy options, including: helping other countries mitigate emissions and adapt to climate change through technology and technical support; improving U.S. energy infrastructure; aiding developing nations to move away from coal; and lowering tariffs on biofuel imports.
But policymakers worry about damaging America's economic competitiveness (WSJ) as countries like India, China, and Brazil race ahead in the global marketplace. Developing nations small and large face no binding emissions targets under the UN's Kyoto Protocol, and the Bush administration has used this to oppose joining the global climate change regime. CFR's Task Force does not recommend pursuing such targets. Instead, it suggests a partnership with the world's major emitters that includes a "clear and firm U.S. commitment to domestic emissions reductions"—something the present administration has resisted.
Profound disagreement exists over whether developing nations should be required to meet specific targets on greenhouse-gas reductions. This issue bedevils the quest to agree on a new international regime to replace Kyoto when it expires in 2012. Some developing nations reiterated a call for strong commitments (Hindu) from developed countries. Yvo de Boer, head of the UN Framework on Climate Change, in a recent interview with CFR.org, insists developing countries do have a responsibility to take actions to reduce emissions under the protocol and many are doing so. While supporting the UN process, the CFR Task Force report also emphasizes the need for "a backup plan" if the UN process fails.
Back in the United States, lawmakers fresh from the defeat of the Senate bill face the daunting task of crafting a policy to reduce U.S. emissions in a difficult economy. As TIME notes, debate in the Senate "never made it past the partisan bickering and economic fear mongering" to the policy questions which ultimately must be faced. Complicating the debate was an International Energy Agency report, released June 6, which says tackling climate change would cost over $45 trillion over the next half century (PDF) and a recent scientific study by NASA scientist James Hansen that argues for the need to end burning coal (PDF) entirely. Some economists assert that the estimated 1 percent that proposed climate policies would pare off U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) would be a small price to pay in comparison to the potential cost of inaction.
