OTTAWA–There is an adage in politics – the people who help you get to a position of power can't keep you there.
If Michael Ignatieff was unaware of this old saw, he certainly must know it by now. It has been hauled out regularly by the commentariat this summer to explain why the Liberal leader, in a backroom reorganization, has erred in surrounding himself with charter members of his 2006 leadership team.
Ian Davey, Ignatieff's new chief of staff and one of his original loyalists, has a succinct reply to that.
"We're not in power," Davey says. "We're trying to get to power. So if that happens when we're in power, come and tell me that."
A couple of weeks ago, Ignatieff announced that former MP Paul Zed, who had been serving as chief of staff, was heading back to Saint John and that Davey, who had been serving as principal secretary, was ascending to the top job. Ignatieff installed Toronto lawyer Dan Brock, yet another member of his inner circle in the 2006 leadership bid, to Davey's old job.
Some Liberals are muttering that Ignatieff has chosen loyalty over experience, friendship over political savvy. Davey, for his part, says he's more than aware of the criticism and the daunting nature of the job.
"Not to sound too corny about it, it's humbling for me, honestly," says Davey, son of legendary Liberal "rainmaker" Keith Davey.
"A lot of us are new and a lot of us are green, but we're not so new and we're not so green any more."
He freely acknowledges some improvements are needed to get the Liberal opposition in fighting shape for the fall. "If there's one challenge for this office, in my view, I think we've got to be faster ... And that's just experience."
It's been a summer of criticism for Ignatieff and his team – a sharp turn from the largely positive reviews they got in the months after the party installed him as leader last December. Ignatieff arrived in the job the easy way – unchallenged, when potential rivals pulled out of the contest – and seemed to be coasting to prime-minister-in-waiting status until around June.
But then a confidence vote rolled round – a chance to defeat Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government – and Ignatieff seemed to stumble, issuing an "ultimatum without conditions," as Harper famously dismissed it.
Since then, the Liberals seem to have hit a plateau in the polls. Ignatieff has been criticized for being invisible to the national media, and anonymous partisans have grumbled about the dearth of policy, visibility and organizational expertise.
On the question of Ignatieff's apparent invisibility, Davey just shakes his head.
"I've seen this movie before, and what happens in the summer is that everyone goes away and there's nobody writing stories. There's no national media following people. You focus on regional media."
He points out that earlier this month the Liberal leader was all over Nova Scotia, P.E.I. and New Brunswick, drawing good crowds.
What about the stall in the polls?
"Again, every summer, if you go back through history and look at polls for oppositions, the incumbent polls go up and the opposition polls go down ... The other guy, in this case the government, spends the summer travelling the country with what media there is following them, making announcements. They control the levers. We don't.
"What we need to do is not get bothered by polls because the polls aren't great for the Conservatives either," Davey says.
"I believe the overwhelming number of Canadians don't like Mr. Harper ... When the House returns in September, you're going to start looking at different numbers, quickly."
As for issues of organization, Davey boasts the party is probably in the best shape it's been in for years: out of debt, a signed-up supporters' list in the "six figures," and a readiness to fight an election, which he sees as inevitable, given a minority government.
"We plan to be fully funded, which I don't think they were in the last election," he says. "Things like that make a big difference."
The Liberals' annual retreat next week will mark the official beginning of election speculation season, with Ignatieff expected to be asked dozens of times a day whether he's willing to provoke the collapse of the Harper government when the Commons resumes sitting.
Davey says he's rather avoid the discussion. "There are four parties in the House and you've got a configuration in the House that it is as strange as you'll get. So you need to line up three of them to have an election."
The Liberals are on track to have most of their candidates nominated by Parliament's return, though Davey did say he's still encouraging people to consider running.
"All we're trying to do is to get the best people we can possibly get to help us get there," he says, dismissing the suggestion that only members of Ignatieff's inner circle are welcome in the leader's office.

As recently as four years ago, some observers openly questioned whether Bombardier's Flexjet fractional ownership operation would still be around in 2006. Today, not only is Flexjet open for business, but it has turned the corner and achieved solid profitability–a milestone accomplishment in the fractional world.
Michael McQuay, president of Flexjet and the Skyjet charter operation, said the company this year became "operationally profitable" for the first time. "We're having the best year in our history," he said. "Sales of shares are up 28 percent and revenue is up 30 percent over 2005,"–a year during which Flexjet showed its first positive income, although it was an admittedly small profit.
This will be Flexjet's first year of "complete profitability" under a new accounting standard that allows reporting of only part of a sale in a given year. When you're selling fractions of jets, being able to report the sale of a single share on that year's ledger makes a difference, McQuay noted. But at the end of the day, making a profit on the operation is what's most important.
"Relying on rollover of sales of shares is a house of cards," he said. "Churning doesn't bring real income. Your day-to-day operations have got to be profitable. It's literally the difference between whether you're running a successful business or just existing. We began with a refocus on the operational integrity of our business, starting by identifying demand requirements of our owners, and placing assets at sites where we know demand will be present." (The term churn refers to the rollover rate of fractional customers for a given time period.)
McQuay said that Flexjet's operations have become profitable for several reasons. "We have a very strong sold to in-service ratio. That is, the airplanes in our fleet are flying and are not merely a bunch of excess inventory. Six years ago we had nearly 20 percent of our fleet in inventory. Now we have backlog [share buyers awaiting new aircraft deliveries] for most models." Flexjet's "load factor"–the ratio of shares sold to those available–will be the equivalent of 81 fully sold aircraft by year-end, he said. The current Flexjet fleet numbers 84 business jets.
But profitability didn't come easy, McQuay noted. "The two biggest expense trouble areas are deadhead legs and charter," he said. Flexjet has achieved the lowest deadhead rate among all major fractionals with a range between 36.5 percent and 38.2 percent, McQuay said, and has the lowest charter rate, at 3.7 percent for the year to date, before the peak holiday season. "Even then, we'll still be below our five-percent guarantee [stating that owners will be forced to fly charter no more than 5 percent of the time], and Flexjet is the only one to offer this charter limit guarantee."
He added that Flexjet has the fractional industry's best on-time departure performance, currently at about 80 percent for all types of delays including weather, and the segment's best aircraft availability, 81 to 84 percent each day. "I won't be happy until we get 90 percent," he said, "and then I probably wouldn't be happy with that.
Bigger not always Better
"Flexjet does not believe the end game is having the largest fleet," McQuay continued. "Competitors with larger, diverse fleets are still struggling with profitability. That said, Flexjet is indeed focused on reasonable growth. We expect to reach a fleet size of 100 aircraft in two years' time and to double sales revenue in the next five years."
McQuay claimed Flexjet was the first operator to focus flying with only on a small number of models. "An all-Bombardier fleet and efficient fleet typing has been significant in our success," he said. "Also, four years ago we made a commitment to get aircraft more than five to seven years old out into the pre-owned market, and to focus on having one of the newest fleets in the industry." Flexjet's now averages three-and-a-half-years old.
The fleet includes the Learjet 40 and 45, Learjet 60, Challenger 300 and Challenger 604. Flexjet is taking orders for the upcoming Learjet 60 XR (first quarter next year) and successfully selling shares in the newly configured Challenger 604, with greater seating capacity and a range of new cabin and telecommunications amenities. The new Challenger 605 will enter service in next year's third quarter, and McQuay said he expects it to be another significant driver of sales, adding that there are no plans to depart from the all-Bombardier-fleet format.
The super-midsize Challenger 300, in the Flexjet fleet since early 2004, is "the fastest selling and best selling aircraft in Flexjet history, the hottest product currently in the fractional market," McQuay stated. "The lion's share of our boost in revenue has been driven by customer reaction to the Challenger 300." He said Flexjet will end the fiscal year with 24 in its fleet and add another seven next year. He credits Challenger 300 design commonality with Bombardier's regional airline CRJ fleet, both built to rigorous specifications for higher cycles and hours, for "the Challenger 300's exceptional reliability, running in the mid to upper 90s." A Flexjet Challenger 300 is on the NBAA static display line at Orlando Executive Airport.
Flexjet entered the year with a market share of approximately 16 percent versus 13.5 percent the previous year, and expects to increase that figure this year. Flexjet claims that it has not lost a single owner to the competition in the last 18 months. Owners who left did so due to lower travel needs, and 95 percent of owners are renewing their contracts.
McQuay said the 5 percent who did not renew included some who have gone into new or previously owned aircraft, and "a couple have elected to move down to jet cards." At the same time, Flexjet has captured more than 50 customers from competitive programs, he claimed.

Digital retailer of old-school PC games Good Old Games will begin selling newer titles next year, the company announced Thursday.
Good Old Games, launched in 2008, is an online marketplace where users can download classic PC games from the 80s and 90s at dirt-cheap prices, with no DRM and full compatibility for modern computers.
Right now, a game has to have been released at least three years ago in order to be recognized as a "good old game." But in 2012, Good Old Games will ditch that restriction. Newer titles will carry a higher price, anywhere from $14-17, but will be still be free of intrusive DRM.
Good Old Games aims to offer over 400 total games by the end of 2012.

With DD, I had to go back to work pretty much right away, so of course we had bottles ready before she was born. With this baby, I don't plan to work outside the home, and we don't have nearby relatives we'd leave the baby with. So I don't see any need for bottles.
DH, on the other hand, thinks we need to buy a whole new set (we got rid of our old ones years ago). He also mentioned getting a bigger freezer, so I guess he's imagining that I'll be pumping and freezing like I did last time. That's not how I picture this working.
Am I missing something, or does this just seem like a waste of time & energy & money? I mean, I'd love to donate extra milk, but I'd rather have my supply in check so that I don't have extra milk to donate. (That was not a realistic possibility with DD, as she never really took a bottle and made up for it by nursing more at night. So during the day I pumped to relieve pressure and ended up with a ton of extra milk.)
I would have *a* bottle on hand and plan on having a couple bottles worth of milk in the freezer, just in case of emergency. but no need to buy a whole set of bottles or have a big stash.
part-time and through infancy. planning a
I own one bottle - it fits on my Avent Isis pump - but I own no artificial nipples. My DS has never had a bottle, and when I head back to work at 12 months, he'll get my milk in a cup when we are apart. (I pump on occasion to deal with a nursing strike, to mix with medicine, or to make 'momsicles' )
You can always pick up a bottle if you need one - I wouldn't waste the money getting any ahead of time.
Yep, that sounds reasonable to me. It's easy enough to pick up bottles after the baby's born if you decide you need them, so there's probably no need to make sure you have a supply on hand ahead of time. But they can be helpful even if you're home all the time. I don't know how I would have survived DD's early babyhood without having a pump and some bottles, because she nursed so frequently and for so long at a time that the only way I could count on spending more than 45 minutes away from her was if DP was able to give her a bottle. Thank god for those nights when I was able to go to bed and get a couple extra hours of sleep while DP stayed up with her and gave her a bottle or two. But using bottles isn't always so important. My second baby was able to go a lot longer in between nursing sessions, so I could usually be away from him without him needing a bottle. (Good thing, too, because we had almost no success getting him to take a bottle.)
I never used bottles at all with my daughter. Nursing on demand straight from the breast was the system that worked for us! (Mostly because I hate washing bottles!)
None of my 5 children have ever had a bottle and I've never had them in the house. I just got a pump a few months ago and have only used it a couple of times to try it out.
If you want something for emergency you could get a manual pump and stow a few bags in the freezer. It can be spoon fed with no need for bottles.
That's really good advice. Thank you. I would like to have an emergency supply, just in case (especially since I recently learned that my mom had to give me formula for a week or so when she had a medical emergency). But I suppose a week's worth of breastmilk would be plenty.
So how would you ladies recommend storing it, if not in bottles? I have an electric pump but I'd need to buy new tubing to use it, and honestly I was almost as efficient expressing by hand back in the day. So I figure I'll need some sort of airtight storage system, preferably something that can be reused for another purpose later on. Maybe a covered icecube tray?
I use Lansinoh milk storage bags, basically pre-sterilized ziploc baggies. they take up the least amount of freezer space.
part-time and through infancy. planning a
I agree with the other posters. I am a sahm and i still bought a set of bottles *in case* and I ended up needing them within the first week as Dd had some medical issues within the first week. Plus I do want to be able at some time to give her a bottle when I leave her with DH when doing errands/shopping. I've heard tht lanisoh have thicker bags (compared to medela) and have started an emergency stash as well. I also had a friend who became very sick and was hospitalized and her meds were not bf compatible and sadly she used formula to get her thru that. I want to have a stash in place in case an emergency arises I could feed her bf instead of formula.
I liked the Lansinoh as well. They are zipper topped and so you know they're closed. If you lie them flat to freeze, they are easy to stack and don't take up as much room that way. If you have a pump, you could simply purchase a nipple/ring that is compatible with your pump bottle(s) and use that if there was an emergency.

I agree the Lansinoh bags are the BEST for storing breastmilk in the freezer. I never liked the medela ones that came with my pump.
I wouldn't worry about it in advance. Plenty of time after the baby is born and nursing is well established. I will say that if you are using a medela pump the new redesigned nipple is much better and it makes it easier to pump/feed from the same bottle.
I agree with the PP -- just buy a nipple for the bottle that fits on your pump. If you need more later, you can buy them later.
I store in the Lasinoh bags. I lie them flat to freeze and then I stack them up in a gallon ziplock bag. I like having them double-bagged.
I think an ice cube tray is not the best idea because the cubes are too big to fit through the mouth of the bottle, so wouldn't you have to transfer them to something else, let them thaw, and then pour it in the bottle? If you've frozen them flat, the Lasinoh bags thaw super quickly (like, less than 5 min) in warm water and then they have a pouring spout that you can pour straight into the bottle.

Thanks for all the advice, ladies. Just to be clear, I still have my old pump but I do not plan to use it or to buy the tubing that I'd need to use it, and I no longer have any of the bottles that came with it. So at this point I'm really looking for something that would be easy for hand-expressing (though I could express into a cup and pour into something else for freezing), and preferably something both cheap and reusable for another purpose. I doubt that this milk will ever be used (it really will be for emergencies only), so I'm not super concerned about the convenience factor.
If you are just going to express a little to have on hand in case of emergency, I wouldn't worry about buying a bottle or anything (unless you live hours away from the nearest store/gas station). Otherwise, if an emergency hits and a bottle is needed then someone can always run out and buy one quickly.
With my ds, I never bought any bottles. He was nursed on demand and his bio-dad was not in the picture so I did everything 100% on my own. Around 8 months, when his bio-dad took me to court and was granted (short- 1 hour at the beginning) visits I introduced a sippy cup to ds.
If dh and I have another baby then I will be buying a couple bottles. DH fully supports breastfeeding but also wants to help with the feeding. I will not be working out of the home while a baby is young (probably won't go back until around 1 year old or only working very part time before that) so I will breastfeed for the most part. I will also pump some so that dh can feed the baby a bottle. I have absolutely no problem with this since I did it all alone for the first child I have no problem letting someone else help next time. LOL! The only thing I will need to be careful of is not letting it get to the slippery slope of everyone wanting to feed the baby bottles so the baby starts rejecting the breast (or the milk starts to decrease). I know that MIL will bug the crap out of me to feed bottles to the baby so dh and I will just need to stand strong and tell her NO.

Okay, I didn't catch this:

So no, you probably wouldn't need a pack of 50 Lasinoh bags . Here's an idea: could you express into a sterilized glass jar and then just freeze that (like, a baby food jar or a jelly jar -- something you already have that you could sterilize)? For subsequent sessions, you could express into a clean glass bowl (wider, to catch the spray) and then cool it in the fridge and pour on top of the frozen. Just remember to leave room at the top for expansion.
If you don't use the milk, you might consider donation.
, mama to Amelie (May 2010), early loss (October 2011), and James (September 2012)
I'd encourage you to store the milk in lansinoh bags rather than random glass jars of whatever. You can donate the extra bags if you need to. If you have it stored properly or at least in the regular fashion you have a better chance of donating it if you don't use it. And since you don't particularly want to use it, why not have it in a condition that makes it available to another child?

Iron Man 3
Overall a good movie, not as good as the first 2 though. I did love that they gave him PTSD from the shit that happened in the Avengers movie, very good touch IMO. But I felt like they were stretching it to get a decent story.
Iron Man 3
Overall a good movie, not as good as the first 2 though. I did love that they gave him PTSD from the shit that happened in the Avengers movie, very good touch IMO. But I felt like they were stretching it to get a decent story.
Saturday night my brother and I decided to watch both the original Conan the Barbarian and the remake Conan the Barbarian starring Jason Momoa, to compare the two.
Overall my preference still stands, the original with Schwarzenegger is my favorite, I'd give that 8/10. The remake's ok, but the digital backdrops lack the charm and detail of the original's sets and on-location filming. I liked Momoa's take on Conan, he definitely brought the savagery, even if I don't think he's quite Arnold's match in the "barbarian brute" persona.
So 8/10 for the original, 6/10 for the remake.
Sid and Nancy
review: its an old movie, and i have watched it so many times now, and i cant get bored with it.
Its about Sid Vicious (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Vicious) and how his life was. Most of all, it shows the love between him and Nancy, ups and downs.
The reason i love this movie is because it shows the deep strong love between 2 people, just like you can find in "the crow", and "Natural born killers" which also is some of my favorites.
the story is somewhat true, but with some elements just to show what kind if person he was, and how people looked at him.
IF you dont know anything about sexpistols or Sid, i would recomend that you watched it - they were important to the music scene back then - perhaps just as important as beetles, just without the huge amount of fans.
Had a long cinema evening on saturday.
R.I.P.D. 4/10 The boring little brother of Men in Black. Obvious twists and a bad script.
White House Down 8/10 A decent Die Hard clone with some really funny scenes, a nice protagonist duo (even though the president often acts kinda out of character) and Roland Emmerichs typical style. Only real criticism I have is that the villains were kinda dumb. They should have could the president at least a dozen times. And the ending revealing the true mastermind was too obvious, because it could just have been the one person it was.
World War Z 8/10
I was surprised at how good that movie was. Really wish I had seen it in the cinema, but I was afraid it would be just another disaster porn movie.
The Thing (1982) 8.5/10
It holds up really well. I really liked it.
Riddick (New film) - 7/10.
I liked Riddick (the character) since I 1st watched "Pitch Black" and its follow-up ~30 mins long animated film.
The 2nd motion picture (2004) was bloody horrible though (3/10 from me), and this new film, returning to the origins of the series, redeems the brand (somewhat) for me, and leaves room for another sequel.

Low score simply because it was probably the worst movie ive seen with brad pitt in it which
made me really disappointed. His movies are generally solid 7-8+ but this was nowhere near that.
The obvious pro-israel propaganda sort of took away a little from the focus also.
Drinking Buddies - 7/10
Cozy and relaxed indie-ish movie about some colleagues at a brewery. Genuine and heartwarming.
Oblivion - 6/10
Got pretty much what i expected. Was hoping for more mindfuck-moments but didnt get it.
Kick Ass 2 - 7/10
Loved the first one, loved the seconds one. Obviously not as good as the first but still stood its ground.
The Worlds Ends - 7/10
Classic Simon Pegg movie. Enjoyed it alot since it had most of the ingredients i love with movies.
Clever comedy, interesting story, nice plot twists and a good ending.
World War Z - 5/10
Really didn't like the story and was not what i was expecting
The Lifeguard - 5/10
Checked this movie just for Kristen Bell but yeah not a very good movie. What a love for a woman can do
2 Guns...8.5/10
dead poets society... 7/10
Some good parts, some laughable.
The World's End 9.5/10
I've actually watched it twice already. I really enjoyed it. Not sure if it's going to be as infinitely re-watchable as Shaun and Hot Fuzz though.
I'd prefer my orcs to stand up straight.

Whether you are an endurance athlete or just interested in better health, new research supports drinking low fat chocolate milk after your workout. Chocolate milk can replace carbohydrates ("carbs") and fluids that you lose when you exercise.
Chocolate milk has a near perfect balance of the nutrients you need in order to recover after a workout. This includes:
Each nutrient plays a role in your recovery.
Adding chocolate milk to your diet is good because milk is a whole food. Many endurance athletes do not eat whole foods. Instead, they fall into the habit of living on carb and protein bars, drinks, and solutions. When you do not eat enough whole foods, your body misses out on all the other nutrients that protect your health and improve your athletic performance.
If you are an endurance athlete, you should take in a 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein. This means for every four grams of carbs you eat, you should eat one gram of protein. You should do this within an hour after training, when your body is best able to absorb recovery nutrients.
You want a higher amount of carbs (the "4" part of the 4:1 ratio) because that is what gets stored in your muscle as glycogen. Then, if you have some protein (the "1" part of the 4:1 ratio), it starts the production of insulin. More insulin helps to bring sugar into your muscles to replace the glycogen you use while exercising. Protein also gives the necessary building blocks (amino acids) to fix damaged muscles.
Taken alone, carbs or proteins are not as effective. If you take in just carbs, they will refuel your muscles, but they will not help to repair them. Protein will help repair your muscles, but it will not refuel them.
Chocolate milk is also a source of other nutrients. For example:
When you exercise, you sweat. And when you sweat, you lose essential nutrients! But, you can replace all of these nutrients easily and for low cost. Drinking 16 ounces of low fat chocolate milk within an hour after working out will give you about 320 calories, 52 grams of carbohydrate, 16 grams of protein, and 5 grams of fat.

Very cool! I just wish I could use an external hd instead of a cheesy 32gb Sdhc card... Sometimes I'm in environments with zero Internet for months. It'd be nice to be able to stream anything to my iPad without busting out the laptop and transferring video after video...
Only if apple would give us an SD slot???
I wonder how long the charge/battery life of the air stash will last?
I need to plug in a hdd, not a little sd card lol.
just bought a 2 tb hd drive that's wifi accessable, and then i read that theres something similar but smaller an portable

I successfully installed and validate ns-allinone-2.34 network simulator on ubuntu-9.10. I then tried to run simple tcl code and ended up on the following error. I couldn't move ahead from there. What should I do to make 'nam(version 1.14)' work on my ubuntu 9.10???? Thanks in advance

By the way I googled and got some suggestions like: adding 'nam' directory to environment. I did this as follow but it didn't work:
I added:
export PATH=$PATH:/home/elias/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14
to /etc/profile (>sudo gedit /etc/profile)
Welcome to LQ.
The most easy way to have a 'nam' in your path is :
cd ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14/
sudo make install
Which will do one thing: Copying the executable nam to /usr/local/bin/.
.. Then you have it in a system path.
( The same is valid for ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/ ,
to get /usr/local/bin/ns ).
Error when executing a tcl file in ns-2.29
Hello knudfl ,
I installed Ns-2.29 with Nist mobility Package in ubuntu 9.10.
the ./install and ./validate were successful.
But when I want to test an example (ns example1a.tcl) I got the same error like ElijahJ
ns: finish: couldn't execute "nam": no such file or directory
while executing
"exec nam out.nam &"
(procedure "finish" line 7)
invoked from within
I tried what you said but it doesn't work !! It seems like nam is not installed or what ?
root@charifa-laptop:~/Bureau/Install2/ns-allinone-2.29/nam-1.11# make install
/usr/bin/install -c -m 555 -o bin -g bin nam /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install: impossible d'évaluer «nam»: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
make: *** [install] Erreur 1
Can you help me plz ,
thanks a lot,
Nam is a separate application : Any nam can be used.
The best version is 1.14 : Please see post #4 here ...
Unpack nam-1.14.<arch>.tar.gz, and copy 'nam' to /usr/local/bin/
... Then you have nam in a system PATH.
thanks, nam is working now and xgraph as well.
Now tell me how to patch mobiwan with ns-2.33.
Hi Riaz, #5
I don't know whether you have got my invitation mail. Anyway I thing I will be able to say the
steps to install mobiwan patch in ns-2.33.

then go to that folder ie cd ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33
write the command: "patch -p1 < ns-233-mobiwan-1.patch"
write the command: ./configure
write the command: make clean
write the command: make
that's all
then run the simple tcl script.
now when i run any tcl script it givess me an error :
[riaz@riaz new_project]$ ns packetsend.tcl
can't read "EnableHierRt_": no such variable
(Object set line 1)
invoked from within
"Simulator set EnableHierRt_"
(procedure "_o10" line 10)
(Node attach line 10)
invoked from within
"$node attach $agent"
(procedure "_o3" line 2)
(Simulator attach-agent line 2)
invoked from within
"$ns_ attach-agent $n0 $udp0"
(file "packetsend.tcl" line 18)
[riaz@riaz new_project]$
please tell me how to resolve this problem
ns: finish: couldn't execute "nam-1.14": no such file or directory
I was installed ns-allinone-2.34. when i try to run tcl script i was got below error message
ns: finish: couldn't execute "nam-1.14": no such file or directory
while executing
"exec nam-1.14 out.nam &"
(procedure "finish" line 5)
invoked from within
I was used below sample script,
set ns [new Simulator]
set nf [open out.nam w]
$ns namtrace-all $nf
proc finish {} {
global ns nf
$ns flush-trace
close $nf
exec nam-1.14 out.nam &
exit 0
$ns at 5.0 "finish"
$ns run
I have nam-1.14 folder inside my ns-allinone-2.34 folder. But i'm getting this error message. Plz help me anyone :confused:
Post #8, @shama123 : Welcome to LQ.
Just edit "exec nam-1.14 out.nam &" to :
exec nam out.nam &
... and the unknown tcl script may work : If you have a usable 'nam'.
Thank you about your reply
I was chanced nam-1.14 to nam. But still i'm getting the same error message
ns: finish: couldn't execute "nam": no such file or directory
while executing
"exec nam out.nam &"
(procedure "finish" line 5)
invoked from within
# 10 .
OK. No nam.
There are nam packages for Fedora. Which Fedora ?
Please show the outputs from these commands :
a) uname -m
b) cat /etc/redhat-release
My nam is now working
Thank you very much for your reply. I was removed my ns-allinone-2.34 folder and re-installed it. Now all are working perfectly. :cool: I think previously my nam is not installed correctly. I given the path of nam wrongly in .bashrc file. Now all are good. Thanx all!!!
Get the Bandwidth of a link in olsr
If i need to get the Bandwidth of a link to calculate other values, how can i get in in ns2 using olsr?
There are set of nodes in MANET and need to get the Bandwidth to calculate Connectivity Index. Can someone help me to find this. If you know how to do c++ coding for calculate Connectivity Index that will be helpful to me

Check-in for this event will be on the third floor of Founders Hall, next to Rayburn Chapel, where the lectures will be held.
Are science and faith compatible? Does biology support or undercut human uniqueness? Is there evidence that life and the universe were intelligently designed? Explore these questions and more at this special two-day conference to be held October 12-13, 2012 on the campus of Covenant Seminary in St. Louis.
Featured speakers include Dr. Jay Richards, co-author of The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos Is Designed For Discovery and editor of God and Evolution: Protestants, Catholics, and Jews Explore Darwin's Challenge to Faith; Dr. Ann Gauger, senior research biologist at the Biologic Institute and co-author of the new book Science and Human Origins; Dr. C.

Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society.
Sessions will explore the compatibility of science and faith; the impact of Darwinian evolution on ethics, society, and theology; debates over human origins and human uniqueness; the scientific evidence for intelligent design in cosmology and biology; and C.S. Lewis's prophetic insights into both the benefits and limits of modern science.
The conference starts Friday night and concludes Saturday evening with the premiere of The Magician's Twin, a new documentary about C.S. Lewis's views on science and scientism. The screening will be followed by discussion and Q and A with the contributors to a new book of the same name.

Similar to hay fever in humans, pets can suffer from seasonal allergies too. Whether it is to a certain type of pollen or something in the leaf litter, the common signs are licking and chewing at paws or skin, increased scratching at ears and sometimes obvious reddening or scabbing of the skin. While many pets may require medications to help them through these tough times, there are some steps you can take to help lessen the signs:
If your pet chews at their paws, make sure to gently clean them when they come in from playing or walking outside. Using even just plain warm water, or adding a little bit of a gentle pet shampoo can help to remove some surface allergens.
Add fish oils to their diet. Using Omega-3 oils (e.g. cod liver oil or salmon oil) can help to increase the overall health of their skin.
Use a hydrating shampoo. Ask your vet their advice on gentle hydrating shampoos to increase their skin's natural resistance to irritation.
Despite these simple steps, many allergic pets will continue to have signs; consult with your vet on what they feel is the most appropriate form of treatment long-term.

'Recovery package' plan for cancer survivors
All cancer patients should receive a 'recovery package' at the end of their treatment offering ongoing support, the government has announced.
Currently as many as three in four patients do not receive any information on coping with the long-term effects of their illness, figures suggest.
Macmillan Cancer Support, who helped develop the proposals with the Department of Health, said at the moment many patients felt isolated once treatment had ended.
Ben Ando reports.

For the really bloated table, you might need to go even higher than 250000 for maint_work_mem. IIRC vacuum needs 6 bytes per dead tuple, so that means 43M rows... with 5M dead pages, that means less than 10 rows per page, which is unlikely. Keep in mind that if you do a vacuum verbose, you'll be able to see if vacuum runs out of maintenance_work_mem, because you'll see multiple passes through all the indexes. You could also potentially use this to your benefit. Set maint_work_mem low enough so that vacuum will have to start it's cleaning pass after only an hour or so... depending on how big/bloated the indexes are on the table, it might take another 2-3 hours to clean everything. I believe that as soon as you see it start on the indexes a second time you can kill it... you'll have wasted some work, but more importantly you'll have actually vacuumed part of the table. But all of that's a moot point if they're running the default free space map settings, which are way, way, way to conservative in 8.1. If you've got one table with 5M dead pages, you probably want to set fsm_pages to at least 50000000 as a rough guess, at least until this is under control. Keep in mind that does equate to 286M of memory, though. As for your pg_dump idea... why not just do a CREATE TABLE AS SELECT * FROM bloated_table? That would likely be much faster than messing around with pg_dump. What kind of disk hardware is this running on? A good raid 10 array with write caching should be able to handle a 200G database fairly well; at least better than it is from what I'm hearing. -- Decibel!, aka Jim Nasby decibel(at)decibel(dot)org EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com 512.569.9461 (cell)

New studies on busking and public funding impact added to Mayor's cultural strategy for London
The Mayor of London has unveiled his updated cultural strategy for the capital, which includes commissioning studies on the impact of public investment for culture, and how to better support busking.
In his revised version of Cultural Metropolis - the original cultural strategy published in 2010 – Boris Johnson has committed to a "comprehensive study" of public funding for culture.
The document said that smaller arts organisations in the capital faced "very challenging" circumstances due to their reliance on local borough funding.
It added that the Mayor would "continue to advocate strongly that public investment in culture is essential" and that the arts are as important to London and the UK as the finance and trade sectors.
Meanwhile, he will also launch a feasibility study looking into the creation of a new London-wide approach that uses digital technology to support and manage live music performance in public spaces.
The report said: "Some of our greatest musicians have started out busking on London's streets. However London now lags behind other world cities in its support for live music in public spaces."
It added that performers are often deterred from busking because of the varying sets of rules across the capital.
Also revealed in the strategy are plans to create a new working space for Wayne McGregor's dance company Random Dance at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London.
It is hoped the project, called Random Spaces, will create a permanent home for the company, bringing together all parts of the organisation for the first time including its artistic, research and management strands.
This forms part of the Mayor's vision to see the Stratford site turned into an arts and culture hub. It is hoped that the Victoria and Albert museum and University College London will also develop plans for new buildings at the Olympic Park.
Dennis Hone, chief executive of London Legacy Development Corporation which runs the Olympic park site, said: "Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is set to become one of the capital's newest and most exciting cultural beacons. It will offer something for everyone with some of the world's leading museums, universities and theatres set to take up residence to add to the wonderful array of local artists already providing a rich diet of events and activities in and around the park."

BOSTON (Jun. 16)
A resolution strongly condemning the Communist government of Rumania for its latest "reign of terror" against Jews and calling "upon the free world to seek their release from the grip of totalitarian brutality" was sent this week by the Jewish Community Council of Metropolitan Boston to the two Massachusetts Senators and to the nation's top diplomatic representatives. The resolution reads:
"Recent revelations regarding the reign of terror conducted by the Communist government of Rumania against Jews have shocked many in the free world. We record our deep sorrow and indignation over this newest manifestation of anti-Jewish persecution behind the Iron Curtain. Dispatches indicate that hundreds of Rumanian Zionists and Jewish leaders have been arrested and flung into jail without trial solely because they have assisted their brethren to emigrate to Israel. These martyrs in the universal struggle against oppression are being punished for their courageous efforts to free fellow Jews from Rumanian enslavement. We call upon the free world to seek their release from the grip of totalitarian brutality."

Lip Magnet
Extreme Matte Colour. No Make-up feel
Ultra-thin film - Intense matte color
Ultra-thin intense matte lip color.
Lip Magnet is the first matte lip gloss to offer unprecedented color concentration in the finest of textures, while perfectly fusing with the lips.
Lip Magnet long lasting lip color delivers incomparable results: intensity of color, extreme finesse and a makeup finish with a matte, second-skin effect.
Two major accomplishments:
- After application, matte lip color is twice as intense thanks to a "gradual evaporation" phenomenon.
- The finish is four times thinner than a long lasting lip gloss (40 to 10 micrometers).
This long-lasting (up to 8 hours) matte lipcolor is never greasy or sticky; it does not migrate or dry your lips. Lips stay hydrated and perfectly defined for hours on end, with a very pleasant bare-lips sensation.
Available in 18 Shades:
3 sunny corals:
N°300 - Tangerine
N°301 - Heat
N°302 - Hollywood
4 passionate reds:
N°400 - Four hundred for all
N°401 - Scarlatto
N°402 - Fil rouge
N°403 - Vibrato
8 pinks, from nude to bright fuchsia:
N°500 - Maharajah
N°501 - Eccentrico
N°502 - Mania
N°503 - Glow
N°504 - Nuda
N°505 - Second-skin
N°506 - Fusion
N°507 - Garçonne
3 chic plums:
N°600 - Front-row
N°601 - Attitude
N°602 - Night viper
Apply Lip Magnet long lasting lip gloss with the flat slide of the applicator. This matte lip color need sto be blended with the curved side. Spread the texture from the center of the lips outward. Use the pointed end on the corners and cupids bow for precision.
BACKSTAGE TIP: transform from light lip gloss for day to long lasting lip color for evening by simply layering on a deeper shade.
Before application, use Prima Eye and Lip Contour to hydrate the lips and prevent the color from feathering.
Apply High Precision Retouch on the lips to highlight and create volume before Lip Magnet.

We are planning a trip-last week of June and 1st week of July. We will fly to SF (from MA), rent a car, and travel up the coast, through Portland and ending up iin Seattle, then flying back from there. I was planning for 10 days, but haven't really looked into prices yet. We want to sightsee, hike a little, relax, see the West Coast (my son has never been there) do some artsy things, and have fun...Budget is somewhat tight, so will try not to spend too much on lodging. Any prices, ideas on things to see, whatever!! Thanks so much in advance...Oh we do want to see the redwoods...!

10 days is a teensy bit rushed, but you'd have enough time for a couple of days in San Francisco, say 3 days on the N. Calif coast (to give time for hiking/redwoods/etc), 2 days on the Oregon coast on to Portland and then to Seattle. Wouldn't give you much time in Portland or Seattle (did you want to visit or just fly out of SeaTac?)
If you could add a couple of days (or drop Seattle - a shame) it would fit better.
Some will suggest Crater Lake and inland Oregon . . . But IMO w/o more days, you just don't have enough time.
Report Abuse
I think you have plenty of time to do a lot - assuming you like to drive and see the countryside as I/we do.
Personally - I would enjoy SF - (but since you can more easily get back there - concentrate more on nature this trip) - and then drive up I-5 to say as far as Redding - and then over to the Cal Coast (here are some ideas - http://www.mdvaden.com/grove_of_titans.shtml ) and north from there.
Or - go a bit further on I-5 to the lovely town of Ashland, Oregon and stay overnight there. They have a lovely Shakespeare festival (marvelous outdoor theater) - and it's a hip college town and there is a beautiful park to explore - Lithia. http://www.osfashland.org/?gclid=CKuj4-WZka8CFQOEhwod3n10xg
From there - you could easily find some big Coastal Redwoods (maybe not the monsters found further south - but still big) - by Grants Pass - and you might enjoy his horse riding video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCrLWL1STNE
And depending on your schedule - you could even zip from Ashland up to beautiful Crater Lake and back in half a day. I grew up in nearby Klamath Falls, and loved going to Crater Lake since we were kids way back in the 50's. http://www.nps.gov/crla/index.htm
Once you get over to the Oregon Coast - it's a beautiful drive and this place (The Surfrider) - has an amazing view - with reasonable rates - at Depoe Bay - just south of Lincoln City. http://surfriderresort.com/
Or - check out staying in "Yurts" - in various places along the Coast/around Oregon: http://oregon.gov/OPRD/PARKS/rustic.shtml
Further up the Coast from Lincoln City - it's not only a continuing beautiful drive - but you might stop in Tillamook for some of their great cheese - and they also have a very interesting Air Museum there - located in a huge blimp hanger. http://www.tillamookair.com/
From the Tillamook/north Oregon coast area - you can get over to Portland in a couple of hours (maybe a little longer depending on which route you take) - and from there - maybe see the waterfalls out by the Gorge - http://www.theresort.com/multnomah_falls.php along the mighty Columbia River (just east of Portland) - and also visit the Rose Garden and Japanese Tea Gardens and the great zoo in Washington Park - in Portland.
If you really wanted to do something special - and it's a bit more pricey than a bargain hotel - but not too bad - drive to Mt. Hood and stay at the incredible Timberline Lodge for a night. Lot's of history there - including filming some movie scenes - such as The Shining with Jack Nicholson. http://www.timberlinelodge.com/
From Portland to Seattle is about two and a half hours - assuming a straight shot - no traffic.
There are also other posts in here about traveling in Cal, Oregon and Washington.

Some good thoughts above from both posters. My thought would be to fly to Seattle or Portland if cheaper. Drive south from Seattle through Astoria and down the Oregon coast. Spend a night or 2 on the Oregon coast spend another night at Crescent City CA and see your Coast Redwoods. Continue down the CA coast to San Francisco. When you are ready to leave SF, travel north on I-5 stopping at Medford. Leaving Medford take a detour over to Crater Lake if only for a few hours. Travel west on Rt. 138 down the Umpqua River to Roseburg and north on I-5 to Portland or Seattle.
Return your car where you rented it to avoid a big drop off charge.

Geez, people... it's an 800-mile drive from San Fran to Seattle, and to think somebody couldn't complete it and see plenty in ten days is crazy.
Indeed they want to see the redwoods, but "3 days" there is too much.
If we treat San Fran as a given... and the redwoods as a given ... then they would be challenged/(forced to commit) if choosing an eastern path through Oregon.
There is simply no reason why "10 days" isn't sufficient for doing exactly what they state they wanted to do.
Obviously they'll land in San Fran... and yeah, it's worth two nights...
Maybe the NoCal coast will be sufficient and they won't need to take-in the Oregon coast too... IF indeed they are interested in Crater Lake and/or points east.
The next night... 320-ish miles away near the redwood park. (a 5-hour drive from SF)
The day after that, you opt either for the Oregon Coast OR for Crater Lake and the eastern path northward.
From Crescent City to Crater Lake is about 3 1/2 hours.
So on that 3rd night, you get your bearings in far-northern California... then see the redwoods the following day.
Maybe plot a night in/near Grants Pass for the 4th night.
The next day, Crater Lake (???) (if so desired).
From there, a drive due north on Hwy #97 through Bend... then Madras, and The Dalles, OR. Columbia Gorge is certainly worth seeing, and if you can work-in Mount Hood as well, that would enhance everything.
Let me see where I am now:
3 - Near the town of Orick, CA ??
4 - Grants Pass (or perhaps a 2nd night near Orick/Crescent CITY IF there are things you want to do, and didn't do )
5 - Maybe Bend, Oregon??
6 - The Dalles/Hood River, OR area??
decide the logistics of covering both The Columbia Gorge AND Mount Hood on a pass-by somehow.
7 - central Portland (lol - find Powell's Books and shoot for a hotel not far from there - I'd use Priceline.com for the big city lodging)
8 & 9 Maybe someplace in central Seattle ?? (Priceline.com)
(yeah, it would be nice to have daaaaaaaaays to spend in both Portland and Seattle, but to give yourself a taste of each is incentive for future trip planning)
(Fly home from Seattle on the 10th day)

My favorite part of the Oregon coast is between just south of Florence and Lincoln City- in my opinion, there is not a lot to see between Coos Bay and Florence unless you are willing to taking some side trips- but not much to see from the road as you drive by.
I always suggest staying around Yachats- there are three motels/hotels in a row, the Fireside, the Adobe and the Overleaf- Overleaf being the most expensive. Adobe has some rooms with kitchens, they also have a restaurant and great ocean views- all three are on the ocean.
So consider a stop there if it works for you.
My favorite beach on the coast is Devils Elbow - also known as Heceta Head- beautiful lighthouse here and lighthouse keepers house- there are some hiking trails- one takes you to an isolated beach with no car access.
Depoe Bay, Newport and Lincoln City are all interesting stops-
Bend is also a great stop if you like active things to do- so much hiking, rafting, biking- you could easily spend a week there.
I think you would not want to miss the Columbia River Gorge either- many more hiking opportunities here and beautiful scenery.
Weather should be good in July- hope you enjoy your trip

NMMale: Since the brief is "We want to sightsee, hike a little, relax, see the West Coast (my son has never been there) do some artsy things, and have fun...". . . 3 days on the north coast is not too long - IMO. But two at a minimum
3 - Near the town of Orick, CA ??"
SF to Orick is a 6.5 hour drive using 101 all the way, mostly NOT on the coast. And it more than 8 hours 'car time' (w/o any stops) using hwy 1. How does that leave time for hiking, relaxing?

janisj's so-called "simple approach" is
"... you just don't have enough time"
... which is absolutely insane when talking of getting 800 miles in 10 days!!
The next person's response, fully independent of mine:
"I think you have plenty of time to do a lot..."
JanisJ, your seemingly brief glaze-over of the OP suggest that you missed most of "the brief":
"We will fly to SF... ending up in Seattle, then flying back from there"
Now accept that as a 'given', and work from there.
If the OP wants to fly from Mexico to Spain, or anything else, she'll start another thread.
... and when did she ever say she wanted to hike or relax between San Francisco and Orick ??
When the OP doesn't give truly detailed data relating to what they want to do, and the route on which they want to do it, at least do them the courtesy of paying attention to what they know they want to do.

I have been to The Redwoods twice, so certainly no expert. My opinion is that one full day would be plenty. Just before you get to the Redwoods(if you are coming from SF) is Patricks Point State Park. This is a nice area for tidepooling(at low tide-check tidetables). I think the best hike in The Redwoods is James Irvine Trail all the way to the ocean. The final portion of the trail is Fern Canyon. You will see the best of everything on this trail. The best short trail is Stout Grove.
I would for sure see Crater Lake.
For Portland, I would see The Rose Garden, and Powells Bookstore. Perhaps a stop at Stumptown Roaster Coffee or Voodoo Doughnuts.
You might consider choosing between Mount Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Hood. Perhaps do just one of those.
Really you could spend all of your time in just Oregon and Northern California and depart from Portland and leave Washington for another trip. I do think that 10 days for both areas is to much-can be done, but you will miss a lot of things.
If you are adventurous consider www.cascade-canyoning.com
We have been with them twice and it is awesome.
You might also want to check out one of the Jet Boat companies. They do this at Grants Pass and a couple of places along the Oregon coast.

Goodman presented a new analysis that concludes finding accessible and quality care for the elderly and disabled will become increasingly difficult in the coming years under the new health care law because of draconian cuts in payments to doctors and hospitals:
- Medicare payment rates will fall below the rates paid by Medicaid (for low-income families) by the end of this decade and will fall even further behind all other payers in succeeding decades.
- Whereas Medicaid pays about 80 percent of what private insurance pays today, the payment rates will fall to two-thirds of private payment by the end of this decade and one-half of private payment by midcentury.
- Just as Medicaid patients must often seek care at community health centers and safety net hospitals today, seniors could face similar access problems in the near future.
In terms of dollars spent:
- The annual reduction in spending will reach $2,300 per beneficiary by 2020 and $3,844 by 2030.
- By the time today's teenagers reach the retirement age, one-third of Medicare will effectively be gone.
- If seniors are allowed to make up for the cuts in Medicare spending with out-of-pocket payments -- something not allowed under current law -- they will need to spend 10 percent of the average Social Security check by 2017.
- Fifty years from now, seniors will need to spend half of their Social Security income to offset the decline in Medicare spending.
Unless the law is changed by future Congresses, Medicare beneficiaries will be pushed into a separate health care system and not have the same access to care as the rest of the population, according to the report.

Most of my day I am stuck inside of a machinery office where I'm plugging and chugging calculations all day, repairing dirty greasy machinery, and trying to make the dreams and ideas of others a reality (no matter how unpractical or dumb they maybe). All in a days work for a mechanical engineer.
When I free time I really enjoying going out for drinks with friends, traveling out of town to see something awesome or weird, laying on the beach and just being a lazy bum, or going up to the mountains for a weekend of camping and fishing.
My friends describe me as "funny, unpredictable, logical, calculating and down to earth."
I would like to find someone who would be a good fit for me; someone who does't take themselves too seriously, knows how to have fun and can tell really good jokes. (Sarcastic, smart mouth, intelligent women are a MAJOR TURN-ON; always love a challenge!).

My father, age 62, recently bought his first smartphone. He dumped the feature phone he'd been using the last two years and went with an HTC Droid Incredible on Verizon Wireless' network. He's but one more addition to the growing population of smartphone users who are frequently accessing data and applications from their devices wirelessly.
Pew Research Center notes that now 59% of adults in the U.S. are using wireless technology in one form or the other. Pew's definition of "going wireless" includes using Wi-Fi from a laptop or using mobile IM, email, or a mobile browser from a cell phone. Pew says that 47% of adults use Wi-Fi, but only 40% use mobile devices for email and such. These numbers are up from 39% and 32%, respectively, when compared to 2009. (Pew defines "adults" as those aged 18 and up.)
Pew polled users to see exactly what it is they are doing with their devices. Here's part of the breakdown of mobile activities:
Notable is that young adults aged 18 to 29 are the heaviest users of mobile services. Here's what that group of users is doing with their cell phones:
