Predator avoidance via alternative microhabitat choice by the freshwater amphipod Gammarus roeseli was examined in laboratory y-maze experiments, where predator presence was simulated by fish-conditioned water. The amphipod responses to three benthivorous fish species, which differ in their mode of feeding, were examined. G. roeseli avoided habitats with water conditioned by juvenile burbots (Lota lata) and crucian carp (Carassius earassius), but not by juvenile Eurasian perch (Perea fluviatilis). Responses to predator-conditioned water only took place at high fish densities. Thus the amphipods were capable of distinguishing between acute predation risk, represented by high infochemical concentrations, and the low background level of infochemicals. The results of the study imply that proper microhabitat choice is an alternative to decreased locomotory activity, for enhanced survival of amphipods in the presence of fish predators in both lentic and lotic environments. A preliminary characterisation of the infochemical suggested that it is different from that which causes responses in Daphnia, as it could not be extracted by lipophilic solid phase extraction.

Lady of Quality Paperback
by Georgette Heyer
Independent and spirited, Miss Annis Wychwood gives little thought to finding herself a suitable husband, thus dashing the dreams of many hopeful suitors.
When she becomes embroiled in the affairs of the runaway heiress Lucilla, though, she encounters the beautiful fugitive's guardian - as rakish and uncivil a rogue she has ever met.
Although chafing a bit at the restrictions of Regency society in Bath, Annis does have to admit that Oliver Carleton, at least, is never boring. Showing all the skills that won her a devoted worldwide readership, Georgette Heyer's Lady of Quality is a dashing romance by the undisputed queen of the romantic novel.

Review by MusicMom41
When spirited, independent Miss Annis Wynchwood embroils herself in the affairs of a runaway heiress, she is destined to see a good deal of Lucilla's uncivil and high-handed guardian Mr Oliver Carleton, a man whose reputation for being a rake and the rudest man in England is notorious. It's a beautifully crafted novel, and boasts all the Heyer earmarks: witty, fast-paced dialogue full of convincing period slang, characters with depth and dimension who you grow to know utterly well within a few pages (even the much-loathed Maria or the pompous Lord Beckham are impossible to hate; a loving author renders them as endearingly flawed, expertly avoiding the stereotypical approach that far too many genre writers fall into), and detail that paints a vivid picture of time and place without bogging down the storyline.I read this on the plane ride home from Provence—it made the journey seem short.
Review by amf0001
Georgette Heyer rarely disappoints and this is one of her more charming books. Lady Annis Wynchwood, on the way home to Bath, comes across Lucilla and Ninian in an overturned carriage. Lucilla is running away from over protective and suffocating aunt and Annis agrees to champion her cause. Her guardian and uncle, Oliver Carleton, comes and sparks fly. Rereading this for the umpteenth time, I was struck this time how quickly Oliver falls in love, they meet barely 4 times before he proposes to Annis. Another quibble - less amusing every time I read it (but I have to say I skim her bits) is the annoying cousin Maria, and the squabbles of Lucilla and Ninian. The theme of manners is treated a bit oddly - Lucilla pleases b/c she is 'pretty mannered' but the reason that all Annis' previous beaus failed is because they were too well mannered. Something about how men can be rough and ready, but women must always be polite. But that is a very 2008 reading of a book written in 1972 and set in the 1860's? (a date is never given, just beyond Bath's heyday) Ultimately I liked Oliver's and Annis' love affair, their using name calling as endearments (hornet and odious) and the fact that it is their laughter that brings them together. I think they'll have a very happy future, and I certainly had a happy time watching them meet
Review by LauraLulu
Eh. Regency romances are just not my cuppa. But I am doing a lifetime of books reading challenge and this sucker was written the year I was born--it's harder for me to find books I like that were written in the olden days.
Review by nordie
First Heyer book that I've read so dont whether this is a good or average example of her work. Found the first chapter or so difficult to get into as I'm not used to her writing style. There was a point partway through where I saw similarities with Pride and Prejudice (the two main characters initially hate each other, she turns down his initial marriage proposal and there is a crises that brings them back together). Cousin Maria is Mr Collins reincarnated.So, found the book mildly derivitive yet mildly amusing. Wasnt gripping and I did glaze over, especially when Cousin Maria went off on one of her speeches (yes I know that was kind of the point, but.....).
Review by beckymmoe
I love Georgette Heyer's books--the characters are quirky and totally unique, her storylines are always fresh, and her use of Regency slang makes me want to toss around terms like "ape-leader", "blue devil", "wet goose", and "cock up one's toes" in my everyday conversation. I don't usually, but I'm tempted. Lady of Quality is a prime example of Heyer at her best.

At twenty-nine, Annis Wynchwood is considered firmly on the shelf. Strong-minded and independent, she's set up her own establishment in Bath to avoid being the "maiden aunt" in her brother's home. In Bath she enjoys making her own decisions, running her own household, and deciding how and with whom she will spend her time. Well, there is one exception--her cousin, Maria, who her brother suggested she engage as her companion to lend her respectability, and who also tends to drive Annis (and anyone else who spends five minutes with her) completely crazy. Other than that, though, Annis is fairly content with the life she's made for herself.

At least she thinks she is--until the day she encounters a broken-down carriage on the road. Annis meets Lucilla Carelton, a young girl who has escaped her aunt's house and the pressure to marry her childhood friend Ninian (who, incidentially, doesn't want to marry her either, and is actually helping her to escape). Annis takes the young girl under her wing and manages to become her temporary chaperone, much to the annnoyance of her brother, her companion Maria, and Lucilla's co-guardian, Oliver Carelton, the "rudest man in England." Mr. Carelton is so put out with Annis's presumption that he travels to Bath to determine just what Miss Wychwood's motives could possibly be. He stays in town, much to Annis's annoyance, since the two are constantly at loggerheads. Or are they? Mr. Carelton admits almost at once to Annis that he finds her both beautiful and fascinating. Annis, though exasperated beyond belief every time she encounters Lucilla's ward, can't help being fascinated by him. She is constantly torn--does she want to see him or avoid him? Encourage him or push him away? Does she loathe him, or love him? You can pretty much figure out where the story will end up from these two characters' first scene together, but as always, the journey Heyer takes us on to get them there is a whole lot of fun!

Foil packets can be made as simple or as gourmet as you'd like to make them. They're not just for camping! All you do is use aluminum foil and pile your chicken, vegetables, and potatoes/rice OR just potatoes/rice and vegetables for a vegetarian option. The chicken and potatoes/rice and vegetables all cook together by steaming. It's really a healthy way to eat dinner. (I've never made them with uncooked rice--only cooked rice. But, I have made them with uncooked potatoes and raw chicken--worked great.)
Making foil packets is one of the BEST and EASIEST ways to entertain and a fantastic way to use what you have in the fridge for dinner. It's a do-it-yourself kind of meal. For enertaining: set up a bar-type area with all the ingredients and everyone assembles their own meal. Just have a marker handy so everyone can add their names or initials to each packet for easy identification when the packets come out of the oven.
During the summer, you can place your packets on the grill so you don't heat up your house....in the winter, you can throw them in the oven. Foil pockets minimal clean-up--it's wonderful not to have to do dishes! And you can try a new version each time you make this meal!
There are no off-limits ingredients--it's just whatever you like or have in the fridge. Below are some ideas for ingredients to use--it's just a start. You can make Asian, Italian, Indian, Mexican, Greek, or Barbeque versions depening on sauces, cheeses or ingredients you use.
For the fastest version, use cooked potatoes and chicken. For a slower version, you can use all raw chicken and uncooked potatoes. Either way, keep the vegetables raw because they will cook fast.
ANY of these ingredients listed below can be used to make foil pack chicken (be sure to cut up your ingredients)--you pick & choose:
- Cream of mushroom soup (for a creamy sauce)-but I'm sure cream cheese or sour cream would work too-you can skip any sauce though
- Mushrooms (sauteed or fresh)
- Onions or green onions
- Garlic
- Red bell peppers
- Potatoes
- Cooked rice
- Green beans
- Zucchini or squash
- Brocoli and/or cauliflower
- Cheese--any kind or several different kinds (Parmesan, cheddar, feta, goat, mexican blend, etc.)
- Beans
- Olives
- Artichokes
- Spinach
- Celery or carrots
- Pine nuts
- Jalapenos
- Tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes
- Chicken
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Hot sauce
- Salsa
- Seasonings of your choice (taco, italian, steak, etc.)
- Soy sauce
- Lemon juice
- White wine
- Red wine vinegar
- Barbeque sauce
To prevent sticking, spray each piece of foil with Pam or some type of cooking spray. Then layer all your desired ingredients and close up each foil packet leaving just a little bit of space for steam (basically, don't wrap it extremely tight).
Bake at 400 degrees for about 30-35 minutes if your chicken is raw. If it is not, your packet may be ready in 20 minutes. If they are on the grill with high heat, they will probably be ready in about 25 minutes--and even less so if your potatoes and chicken are cooked or you are making a purely vegetarian version.
If I use raw chicken, I will often open the packet and broil for another 5-10 minutes to get a crispy top--keep your eye on it to prevent burning.
When they are done, everyone can either eat the meal out of the packets or spill the contents onto a plate. BE CAREFUL OPENING THE PACKETS!!!! Steam will escape and it can be easy to get burned.
Good luck & just to assure you, everyone loves these and it's really hard to screw this up :)

Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) today introduced comprehensive legislation on climate change.
Boxer is chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Sanders sits on the environment committee and also is a member of the Senate energy committee.
Under the legislation, a fee on carbon pollution emissions would fund historic investments in energy efficiency and sustainable energy technologies such as wind, solar, geothermal and biomass. The proposal also would provide rebates to consumers to offset any efforts by oil, coal or gas companies to raise prices.
"The leading scientists in the world who study climate change now tell us that their projections in the past were wrong; that, in fact, the crisis facing our planet is much more serious than they had previously believed," Sanders told a news conference in the Senate environment committee hearing room.
The proposal was drafted as two measures, the Climate Protection Act and the Sustainable Energy Act.
Flanking Sanders and Boxer at the news conference were environmental and consumer leaders including Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org; Mike Brune, executive director of Sierra Club; Tara McGuiness, executive director of the Center for American Progress Action Fund; Tyson Slocum, Public Citizen's energy director; and Meg Power of the National Community Action Foundation.
"Sens. Sanders and Boxer actually understand the depth of the climate problem we face. We are awfully grateful to them for starting us down the legislative path that could reverse our disastrous course. We hope and trust that they won't have to be a lone voice," said McKibben, one day after his arrest at a White House protest on a controversial oil pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
"Climate disruption is one of the most pressing challenges of our time and we must move forward with solutions on all fronts. While all eyes are on President Obama's pending actions to cut carbon emissions from power plants, halt risky drilling in America's arctic, and reject the dirty and dangerous Keystone XL pipeline, we need champions in the Senate like Bernie Sanders and Barbara Boxer pushing strong, comprehensive climate solutions that can double down on these critical administrative actions," added Brune.
"Pricing carbon is an important tool to address climate change, and this legislation ensures that working families aren't penalized by dedicating 3/5 of revenues to a per-capita family refund. This will protect families at the same time we seek to protect the climate," said Slocum, Public Citizen's energy program director.

A handy guide to Left-wing people for the under 10sCULTURE FEATURES HOME NEWSAndy Shaw28 Oct 2016Left-wing people in the olden daysLeft-wing people used to like working-class people.Lots of left-wing people used to be working-class people. These people were known as socialists and joined trade unions.Sometimes working-class people used to frighten left-wing people, but they pretended that they weren't frightened and were nice to them.Left-wing people supported working-class people, gave them money, sat in rooms with them and wore badges to show that they cared more than right-wing people, who wore ties instead of badges and didn't care.NowadaysNowadays, working-class people are bored with socialism because it hasn't made them rich and happy.Nowadays left-wing people are middle-class people. Working class people are a big disappointment to left-wing people.Left wing people now think that working class people are:a) Simple and easily ledb) Un-enlightened and susceptible to short-term pleasuresc) Terribly sad and struggling, unable to cope on their ownd) All of the aboveEducation is a life-long taskLeft-wing people think that working-class people are unable to think for themselves and require life-long education to help them make informed decisions.Left-wing people work tirelessly on education programmes to encourage working class people to buy expensive food and clothes and not cheap food and clothes. They are disappointed that working-class people are un-ethical.Working-class people like to drink alcohol, have sex and eat tasty food. They do not understand that these activities are dangerous and need continuous education from left-wing people.Working-class people need to be protected from newspapers, even though they don't read them anymore. They are easily influenced and their happy-go-lucky ways can be turned into bigoted nasty ways. Left-wing people are needed to help them use Facebook carefully and not make mistakes.Left-wing people like to be sad and unhappyMany left-wing people have a very nice life, but they like to be sad. To help with this, they choose to be sad for other people. Sometimes these people are far away and sometimes they are nearby, but different to them.In the olden days, left-wing people tried to make it better for other people. Nowadays, they like to protect them by being offended when a working-class person doesn't behave properly.Left-wing like to help other people by being offended on their behalf. This means that the other people can carry on with their lives and the left-wing people do all the work. This isn't really fair, but the left-wing people seem to carry on doing it, so they must enjoy it. Despite all this effort left-wing people are still very sad.Left-wing people care more than other peopleLeft-wing people care so much that they love the whole entire planet. Other people don't care about the planet, they only care about themselves and other people that they know. This means that left-wing people have to love the planet even more, even more than they actually like other people.Left-wing people show that they care by telling other people about how much they care. They send special "I care" signals to other people. Forwarding videos on Facebook is one way that they can show how much they care. The videos often show people far away who are living miserable lives, but pictures of cute fluffy chickens in nasty factories are considered sufficient.Left-wing activists (see below) are very helpful. They make lots of "I care" videos which makes it quick and easy for left-wing people to send their "signals". They do this several times throughout each day when they are not busy.Sometimes Left-wing people are made angry by other peopleLeft-wing people care so much, it makes them hate people who don't show that they care. These people are right-wing people. Left-wing people have given them a name. It is "Tory scum". Left-wing people like to shout at the right-wing people and tell them that they are scum even when they aren't listening.Shouting at the Tories is another way to show that they care. Caring is very important to left-wing people.Left-wing people care so deeply that they don't have time for thinking and convincing. They use their precious time for shouting about caring.Also, working-class people don't know what left-wing people are saying, so it is helpful when they point to the right-wing people and shout "scum". They think that working-class people do understand shouting and caring.If you have observed someone and you are not sure if they are a left-wing person, seek their opinion on "the Tories". If they start to shout and care, they are left-wing.Left-wing activists are helpfulLeft-wing activists are left-wing people who have an internet connection. They make the internet very loud.Left-wing activists help other people care on the internet. They are very helpful in pointing out when people have forgotten to show that they care. They help people in many ways – watching videos, commenting on things and clicking on buttons called "start a petition". Left-wing activists sometimes go outside their houses and meet other left-wing people and they care together and shout at the Tory scum.Left-wing people are funnyLeft-wing people have "enlightened comedians" who make jokes on "panel games". These are broadcast on the television and BBC Radio 4.The enlightened comedians make people laugh at right-wing people, whom they consider stupid. In the olden days, comedians made jokes about Irish people, but these comedians weren't clever like the enlightened comedians.Instead of the Irish people, the enlightened comedians make jokes about working-class people.Because they care, they use special words like "Glaswegians", "Sun readers" and "UKIP supporters", so the working-class people will not notice.Working-class people do funny things like drinking Monster energy drinks, eating Haribos and watching television. This is funny and the enlightened comedians are helpful because they point at them and laugh, so we know who to laugh at as well. It is very funny and we all laugh because we are enlightened too.Further readingIn the 1930's George Orwell wrote about the left-wing people he knew in "The Road to Wigan Pier". It is very funny.I have known numbers of middle class Socialists, I have listened by the hour to their tirades against their own class, and yet never, not even once, have I met one who had picked up proletarian table-manners. In his heart he feels that proletarian manners are disgusting…he hates, fears, and despises the working class.
the Iron Law of Institutions and the leftDuring the Democratic presidential primary and the general election, you may have heard reference to the Iron Law of Institutions. It's a really essential idea articulated by Jon Schwartz in a blog post that I recommend you read in full.The Iron Law of Institutions is this: "the people who control institutions care first and foremost about their power within the institution rather than the power of the institution itself. Thus, they would rather the institution 'fail' while they remain in power within the institution than for the institution to "succeed" if that requires them to lose power within the institution."The past year saw a lot of criticism of Democrats and liberals from the radical left, the political tendency I belong to, and for good reason. The Iron Law of Institutions was invoked frequently in regards to the Bernie Sanders campaign and the antipathy towards it from members of the Democratic establishment. The hatred that people like Neera Tanden and David Brock felt for the Sanders movement, and the political tendency it represented, caused them to undermine that movement, despite the fact that the passion, organizing, and money that came from it was to the benefit of the Democratic party. Why? Because of the Iron Law: for Clintonite centrist Democrats, the priority of retaining control of the party came before the priority of winning the election. So Sanders and his supporters were vilified and marginalized in the party, to the detriment of the party, and to this day many establishment Democrats work to sap the Sanders movement of its strength even as the party desperately needs that kind of youth and vitality.The left was correct to criticize liberals for these failings. And yet I think that it's the left, as much as liberals and Democrats, who have failed to understand the Iron Law and how it reflects on their own project. Because if you think of the radical left as an institution, made up of a set of social and discursive communities that are loosely affiliated with various left-wing organizations, you can see that the radical left is if anything even more captured by the Iron Law, and to even more destructive effect.So take the discourse of freedom, liberty, and rights. This discourse is very, very important to ordinary people, particularly Americans. You can lament that fact, but it is a fact. A radical left movement that wants to win would be careful in how it talks about freedom. To me, the message is obvious: socialism is desirable in part because it's only socialism that guarantees true freedom, the freedom to live and behave free of want. We're the movement that can make people really free because once in power we can let them pursue their own interests free of hunger, homelessness, and so on.Is that the message in socialist spaces? Not at all. In fact if I talk about freedom in many radical left spaces, both real and virtual, I will often be told that "freedom is a bourgeois concept" or something similarly fatuous. The left typically disdains the discourse of freedom — and not in spite of the popularity of that discourse, but because of it. Why? Because of the Iron Law: to be dismissive of freedom might hurt the left movement overall, but because such dismissal is a part of left-wing culture, acting this way elevates you within left social spaces.Right now, the left is in the process of rejecting freedom of speech as a reactionary concept. Freedom of speech has been a cherished left-wing virtue for decades, advanced by people like Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Rosa Luxemburg, and many other radical luminaries. But lately the concept has come to be associated with the right, thanks to the vagaries of our political culture. If we were a smart, we would recognize not only that freedom of speech is consistent with left-wing principles, but also that appearing to be against freedom of speech is a sure-fire way to lose the support of potential adherents. But this kind of strategic thinking serves only to advance the movement itself; it does not advance the interests of the people within the movement. Indeed, the more that we drift into a "free speech is conservative" frame, the less people will be willing to defend the concept, even if doing so would be in our strategic political self-interest. This is the Iron Law at work.Take campus activism. Campus activism can be a site of a lot of really important work. But campus activism has really powerful constraints, too. For one, it's seasonal: college politics are deeply constrained by the cycle of summer, spring, and winter breaks. Momentum is constantly lost as students head out to Cabo or back home to Virginia. What's more, college students are constantly cycling in and out thanks to graduation, making it hard to build durable groups or have consistent leadership. Most uncomfortably, college campuses in the United States have a class composition that is not in keeping with typical left priorities. When Middlebury College students protested Charles Murray violently, many leftists nominated them as the vanguard of today's left movement. But this is a curious attitude, given that more students at Middlebury come from families in the top 1% by income than from the bottom 60%. That's not a reason to dismiss them entirely, of course. But it is a condition that we have to ask serious questions about. When I've tried to ask such questions in left spaces, it's been very unpopular, to say the least. Yet I've simply been making a core left-wing point: class matters.In recent years, a dogged, no-exceptions, don't-ask-any-questions attitude towards campus activists has taken over the radical left, to the extent where college student organizers are expected to go entirely uncriticized in left spaces. That hurts our movement, but because criticizing college students risks losing status within the left movement, lefties are afraid to do so. That's the Iron Law of Institutions for you.Or take random outbursts of street violence against the right. This has been a matter of absolute obsession within the radical left for this entire year. The amount of attention spent on, say, the minor dust up at Berkeley would seem totally bizarre in comparison to the actual material impact on the world of such violence. As Marxists we are, of course, materialists, and thus are meant to privilege the objective facts about material conditions above emotional and cultural commitments. As an objective matter the salience of right-wing political street violence to our constituencies is very low. Compare the number of victims of neo-Nazis, in this country of 315 million, to the victims of poverty and homelessness. Our priorities should be obvious. Meanwhile, our ability to actually create positive change through violent force is incredibly limited even under the most optimistic reading of the facts.Yet for months, we've fixated on the potential for left-wing victory through antifa tactics and street violence. Why? Because of the Iron Law. Loudly braying on social media about how we're going to punch and kick our way to socialism has if anything net-negative effects on our movement. Indeed, dismissing the left as thugs who are unable to win through the actual process of democracy is a constant right-wing canard, one they have used to great effect for decades. But for people already within the left's social spaces, arguing for political violence is associated with a kind of cool or cachet. It marks you as a radical, as someone who's in favor of "really doing something." It brings with it a sense of left-wing machismo. And so the incentives for the left are misaligned: to advance the movement, we should treat political violence as the distraction that it is, but to advance inside the movement, people have to showily associate themselves with the tough guys calling for armed revolution.Letting people fixate on their fantasies of righteous violence hurts the cause. But asking them to do otherwise hurts your position within the cause.This condition can be found in real-world spaces, but it particularly flourishes on social media. Left Facebook and Twitter spaces are almost entirely absent of strategic thinking about how to actually build the kind of mass movement necessary to take real power. Instead, they often function as sites of competition to be as insular as possible. Again: it is more to your social advantage to be the Ultimate Lefty than it is to set your statements up in such a way that they advance left-wing causes, which will often entail, whether we like it or not, playing to people who do not already believe what we believe. It will often entail, whether we like it or not, letting go of the in-jokes, memes, and in-group lingo that are so much a part of left discursive spaces.But those jokes are valuable if what you care about is being a lefty celebrity. George Ciccariello-Maher's white genocide joke did absolutely nothing to advance the interests of any actually-existing person of color, but since the joke gained him notoriety within the left, it fulfilled its function — that is, he sacrificed the good of the movement for the good of himself. That's the general way of the Edgelord Left.People say, well hey, you're paying too much attention to the internet. But as someone who does not go a week without attending an organizing meeting, union meeting, or protest (and usually goes to multiple every week), I find that social media is changing real-world left discourse, not the other way around. And this attitude supposes that there's far more of a line between our online rhetoric and our offline personas, as if these things don't bleed into each other constantly — especially given how important online engagement has become for organizing and advertising real-world events.People talk a lot about the current moment as the beginning of a nascent left ascendance. I would love to believe that's true, and I do think that the material conditions have worsened in this country to the point where people are getting fed up. But I've been working in left activism, in one way or another, since I was 14 years old. In those 20 years, I have never encountered a time where the discursive conditions within the radical left were less conducive to building a mass movement through appealing to the enlightened self-interests of the persuadable. I fear that the internet has simply made it too easy for leftists to find each other and build mutually-therapeutic communities which encourage people to regress into them, rather than to spread their message slowly through society. And I fear that replacing the union hall with the college campus as the center of left intellectual life has made class struggle seem like an intellectual exercise rather than a day-to-day matter of life and death.I think there's real problems within the left — theoretical, political, discursive, pragmatic. I say these things out of a deep and sincere belief that we must fix our own problems before we can hope to gain power necessary to fix the world. Some people disagree, which is fine. What I find disturbing is how few other people are willing to take on a role of within-group critic, and how many are willing to excommunicate anyone who performs such a role. Who is allowed, within the left, to tell the left things it does not want to hear? The Iron Law helps explain the absence of such voices. As for me, almost none of the people who most need to hear this message will bother to read it. Instead, they'll tell the same sad jokes to the same group of the already-convinced, preventing the possibility for effective introspection and reform. And that's exactly the problem.

ITS ORIGIN AND PURPOSE, STILL A TOTAL MYSTERY:Shot:Trying to regain their footing, the mainstays of consensus thought have focused on domesticating the threat. Who are these Tea Partiers and internet recluses, these paleoconservatives and tech futurists, and what could they possibly want? The Atlantic mapped the coordinates of the "rebranded" white nationalism or the "internet's anti-democracy movement" in the previously uncharted waters of 4chan and meme culture. In Strangers in Their Own Land, Berkeley sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild peers over the "empathy wall" between her and her rural Louisiana Tea Party contacts, while in Hillbilly Elegy, Ohio-born lawyer J. D. Vance casts a melancholic look back—from the other side of the aisle, but, tellingly, from the same side of the wall—on the Appalachian culture he left behind for Yale Law and a career in Silicon Valley.— "Final Fantasy: Neoreactionary politics and the liberal imagination," James Duesterberg, The Point, July, 2017.Chaser:Everywhere, they flew the colors of assertive patriots. Their car windows were plastered with American-flag decals, their ideological totems. In the bumper-sticker dialogue of the freeways, they answered Make Love Not War with Honor America or Spiro is My Hero. They sent Richard Nixon to the White House and two teams of astronauts to the moon. They were both exalted and afraid. The mysteries of space were nothing, after all, compared with the menacing confusions of their own society.The American dream that they were living was no longer the dream as advertised. They feared that they were beginning to lose their grip on the country. Others seemed to be taking over–the liberals, the radicals, the defiant young, a communications industry that they often believed was lying to them. The Saturday Evening Post folded, but the older world of Norman Rockwell icons was long gone anyway. No one celebrated them: intellectuals dismissed their lore as banality. Pornography, dissent and drugs seemed to wash over them in waves, bearing some of their children away.But in 1969 they began to assert themselves. They were "discovered" first by politicians and the press, and then they started to discover themselves. In the Administration's voices–especially in the Vice President's and the Attorney General's–in the achievements and the character of the astronauts, in a murmurous and pervasive discontent, they sought to reclaim their culture. It was their interpretation of patriotism that brought Richard Nixon the time to pursue a gradual withdrawal from the war. By their silent but newly felt presence, they influenced the mood of government and the course of legislation, and this began to shape the course of the nation and the nation's course in the world. The Men and Women of the Year were the Middle Americans.— "Man and Woman of the Year: The Middle Americans," Time magazine's cover story, January 5, 1970.Why yes, the left does churn these "who are these strange aliens on the right" pieces out like clockwork the year after a president with an (R) after his name is elected. (Though the alt-right angle that Duesterberg focuses on makes for interesting reading.) Or as James Lileks wrote in response shortly after GWB was reelected, "once upon a time the major media at least pretended that the heart & soul of the country was a porch in Kansas with an American flag. Now it's the outlands, the Strange Beyond. They vote for Bush, they believe in God, they'd have to drive 2 hours for decent Thai. Who are these people?"Note this passage Duesterberg wrote:Amid the diffuse politics and intractable ironism of the alt right, neoreaction promises a coherent ideology, a philosophical backbone and a political program directly opposed to what we have: they call it a "Dark Enlightenment." If these thinkers are especially disturbing to read it is because, unlike the meme warriors of 4chan and Twitter, they seem to have reasons for the nasty things they say.As Fred Siegel wrote in his 2014 book, The Revolt Against the Masses: How Liberalism Has Undermined the Middle Class, "The best short credo of liberalism came from the pen of the once canonical left-wing literary historian Vernon Parrington in the late 1920s. 'Rid society of the dictatorship of the middle class,' Parrington insisted, referring to both democracy and capitalism, 'and the artist and the scientist will erect in America a civilization that may become, what civilization was in earlier days, a thing to be respected.'"That's been the spoken or sotto voce motto of the left since the days of H.G. Wells and Woodrow Wilson. It helps to explain why Obama was dubbed "President Spock" by his DNC-MSM supporters for his distanced view of Americans, and why he seemed far more eager to wage war against Republicans and the middle class than he did ISIS and Al Qaeda. I don't truck with alt-right racism or violence, but the left shouldn't be surprised after decades of openly wanting to "rid society of the dictatorship of the middle class," and reporting on it with the distance of Dian Fossey in Gorillas in the Mist (when not viewing it with racist contempt), that some on the right might begin to reciprocate those gestures.(Via Kathy Shaidle.)86 Posted at 8:32 pm by Ed Driscoll
This goes a long way to explaining how the "Progressives" view the rest of the world nowadays (although George Orwell had them to a "T" back in the 1930's). So long as they maintain their smug insularity, they may think they are enlightened, but in fact the world is changing rapidly from underneath them and they are almost entirely unaware of what is happening or why:https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/269668/#respond
The Pettiness of the LeftIt was when driving across Arizona I had a small, but important epiphany. I had the cheapest car I could rent, a cell phone approaching 3 years old, Wal-Mart attire, and would be sleeping on buddy's couch instead of having my own hotel room. Yet, despite these hallmarks of a lower-middle income life, I was perfectly happy, for soon I would be meeting my best friend for some hiking on some of Phoenix's finest trails.But then it dawned on me.One of these trails (Camelback Peak) was located in the prestigious "Paradise Valley" neighborhood of Phoenix. This neighborhood was so rich, they often mocked and ridiculed Scottsdale as a place they "make investments." But although my income came nowhere near to that of your average Paradise Valleyite, how was my life any measurably worse than one of theirs? I had a car, I had grub in my stomach, I was going to enjoy the exact same trails they got to, and I was going to be listening to podcasts on my phone the entire way. One could have even argued I was better off given my digital nomad career. What, precisely then, did the richest man of Paradise Valley have that I didn't?This then got me thinking. Precisely what are the left so jealous of the rich over? What does the rich have that they don't? And as I thought about it, I soon realized a dark and sad truth about leftist psychology and leftism in general:Just how pathetic and petty their jealousy is. And consequently, how that jealousy ruins their lives.It is here we need a bit of historical context to understand the point I'm trying to make. We all know that today our poorest of the poor live like the richest of kings 500 years ago. Inventions like electricity, penicillin, plumbing all make today's humans infinitely better off than the richest of yesteryear. But we don't have to go 500 years ago in the past to see how incredibly better off today's humans are compared to past humans. Consider just 50 years ago.There were no cell phones, the cars (though pretty) were drastically inferior (and more dangerous), food today is markedly improved as well as dirt cheap, clothing is dramatically cheaper, we have PC's, and houses are almost thrice the size with a fraction of the heating and cooling costs.But forget 50 years ago. Let's just consider 20 years ago.We have the internet. Smart phones. Exponentially faster computers and internet speeds. Netflix, huge and cheap flat screen TV's, hybrid cards, Tesla home batteries, Amazon, and the world's information at our finger tips. This allows us to teach ourselves, find things more rapidly, have ANYTHING we want delivered to our doorstep, not to mention this has opened up fields such as telecommuting, Ubering, and becoming a digital nomad. Consequently, our lives are dramatically improved compared to 1997 as we no longer have to commute (though we stupidly choose to), we no longer have to find dates at loud nightclubs, we can watch movies at home, we can run a myriad of chores from home (banking, bills, etc.), and we (I predict) will make college education free via the internet.And ALL of these great technologies, and the opportunities that lay within, are available to EVERYONE.Rich, poor.Young, old.Fat, skinny.Male, female.EVERYONE can avail themselves of all these innovations and advancements.So what is it, precisely, the left has its envious green panties in a bundle over?Well, consider 6 different items that the left would presumably begrudge the 1% over, which also, I believe, account for the majority of envy and jealousy on the left.1. CarsCars are a classic example of the have and the have nots. Some people own used, salvaged Kia Rios. Others own Ferrari's and Telsa's. But aside from about $250,000 in price, can somebody tell me what the REAL difference between a used Hyundai Elantra is and a Mercedes G65?In all reality, nothing.My used, salvaged Kia Rio, which I paid $3,000 for, can do about 98% what the Mercedes G65 can. It can transport me in comfort, night or day, long distances regardless of the weather outside, all while playing music or podcasts from my cell phone. And not only can it do that, it can do it for a lot less in gas and about 1/100th the price.Period.The only thing the Mercedes G65 can do that my battled up Kia can't is heat my tush with leather heated seats and adjust the windshield wipers automatically to the amount of rain. Oh, and self-tinting windows. Can't forget that. The windows self-tint. Yet, despite this true pittance of a difference between my car and that of a Winnetka trophy wife's, poor, middle income, and lefties are greener than Kentucky Blue Grass over those stupid enough to buy luxury vehicles. They see a Ferrari drive by and can only come up with "huurrr, compensating for a small penis." I can't tell which is dumber. Blowing $250,000 for transportation that you could get for $3,000 or getting envious over it to the point you make penis jokes and vote to take their money.2. PlanesSpecifically coach vs. first class.In the grand scheme of things all people aboard the flying aluminum bus should be AMAZED at the technology they're all availing themselves of. You're in a flying beer can, going nearly the speed of sound, which allows you to travel to far away places for a couple hundred dollars, that just a mere century ago was not a possibility for all of human kind.But instead of marveling at this amazing technology and being thankful to be alive to take advantage of it, you're jealous of the smug looking dude bro in a suit sitting in first class.Again, the 99%/1% metaphor is lost on most OWS protestors and leftists in general. You are enjoying 99% of what air travel is offering, but you get your leftists tits in a sling over the fact Thadeus up in first class has a little more leg room and free drinks. Perhaps you can get further pissed as he rents a Corvette and you rent a Kia after you land.3. HomesI recently rented a boat on Lake Minnetonka to celebrate paying off my house. Lake Minnetonka is home to family fortunes such as the Pillsburies, The Daytons (Target and Dayton Department Stores), Cambria, and Breath Right Nasal Strips (yes, the inventory has a house out there!). The captain of the boat also informed us that a couple of these estates would have Aerosmith and Tim McGraw play on their beaches where boaters could anchor and listen to the band occasionally. And although those veritable mansions were impressive, all I could think of was "that's a lot of vacuuming, dusting and rooms I ain't going to use."It doesn't matter how many bedrooms, bathrooms, jacuzzi's or guest houses you have on your estate, you can only sleep in one bed at a time, crap in one toilet at a time, and converse with people in one dining room at a time. The rest, in reality, is pointless excess that goes beyond the shelter, comfort and entertainment a house is supposed to provide.But if we were to have taken your average leftist on my celebratory victory lap around Lake Minnetonka, instead of being in awe of the architecture and beauty of these homes, and instead of questioning more philosophically why a single couple would need an 18 bedroom palace, all they would be able to think of is how much more money these people had than them. All they could think about is how much "nicer" and bigger those mansions were than their simple bungalow in Longfellow. Never mind their simple bungalow or condo provides them heat in the winter, air conditioning in the summer, and a comfortable and adequate place to live. Nope, it's just that "Rat Bourgeoisie ******* Mark Dayton" has a nicer house than they do.4. ClothesClothes are personal to me because I remember getting in fights in school because I didn't wear Cavaricci jeans or wore France Varnet shirts. I also remember getting into fights because I had Wal-Mart velcro shoes while every other boy had "Nike High Tops." And though I was young, I knew enough to know that these kids were idiots to think the name of a shirt or the brand of some jeans was worth beating some kid up over.But ohhhhh, how little those people have learned.Because what was Cavaricci in 1988 is now "LuLuLemon" in 2017.What was FrancoisMirthBiguard jeans in 1990 is now Jimmy Choo in 2017.And what was Guess Jeans in 1989 is now DKNY in 2017.Full grown adults are blowing money not on the clothes or the materials the clothes are made out of. They are blowing money on the stamp, patch, or label that comes with it.Still, to lesser minds (leftist or not in this case), they cannot help but be envious of somebody with Gucci shoes or Armani shirts when a $10 pair of either from Wal-Mart (or Goodwill) will do the same. Yet, it's only leftists that I see going the complete OPPOSITE/full-retard extreme by wearing hideous clothing, piercing their noses, and tatting up their bodies as if they're protesting beauty as presented to them by richer people. All they're doing is cutting their noses off to spite their face, and their green is all to easy to see.5. FoodI've told the story before, but I'll tell it again, I was ecstatic when Subway came out with their $5 footlongs. It was in the depths of the recession and every one of my revenue streams was hurting. In college it was bagels and 25 cent "day old bread" from the local subshop that kept me fueled, but as I no longer had to pay tuition and started making my own money "luxuries" like Davini's and Perkins were now within my budget. To this day my friends mock and ridicule me for liking Perkins or the local all you can eat Chinese buffet, but there is nothing wrong with the food a poor or lower-middle income class person can afford to eat.But again, does the left see what was once the SINGLE LARGEST PROBLEM facing humans for 99.99999% of its 2 million year existence being solved? (that would be hunger by the way). Does the left cheer that OBESITY is now a "bigger" problem than malnutrition or starvation?Nope.Once again, all they can see as they're horking down their "lousy" Applebee's shrimp scampi is those rich bourgeoisie bastards eating at high end steak houses and seafood restaurants. All they can see is the 21 year old scotches rich people are drinking as they drink that Cutty Sark "swill." You know what? Those rich people probably have left over mahi tuna steak in their fridges while you have to walk ALL THE WAY DOWN THE STREET to Wal-Mart if you want to eat something at 3AM.Once again, being envious of somebody who can afford sushi, while all you can afford is Perkins, to the point you're going to "stick it to the man and tax them more," ESPECIALLY in light of humanity's history with hunger, is petty, pathetic, and sad.and finally...6. Cell PhonesOh is the pettiness rich in this one.Much like petulant little 13 year old girls complain about not having the latest iPhone or android, leftists get their communal tits in the bundle when all they can afford is a previous generation phone or have to resort to a FREAKING PAYMENT PLAN to get the cell phone they want. Never mind there REALLY IS NO DIFFERENCE between the iPhone 943Z and the iPhone 944A. Never mind a Samsung 9 does nothing more than the Samsung 8. Nope, I gotta get me some of datz because rich people have the most recent and up to date phone and "I gotta show them I'm a baller too!" Even if you get a free Obama phone, no doubt you are complaining that those rich, 1%, elitist bastards have nicer phones than you.You can't even say the technological difference between one generation of phone to the next is a 1% difference. But damnit if the left doesn't get their green thongs in a bundle over it. And the fact that Chip has a nicer phone than Jose is reason enough to vote Sanders and completely revamp the economy into a socialist one.I could go on highlighting different consumer items both the rich and the poor consume today and the barely perceptible difference in quality between them, but the point is how the left obsesses and hinges its entire confiscatory and parasitic ideology on these petty differences. Thadeus drives a Lexus while Bob drives a Chevy - let's tax Thadeus at 75%. Felix owns a boat while Jim occasionally rents one - let's tax Felix at 80% AND hate him at the same time. And Chip owns a Rolex, while Jerome owns a Quartz. Chip is a 1% *******, probably racist, AND let's tax him at 90%. But worse than the jealousy is how nearly every leftist lets the fact that other people have more ruin their lives. Certainly there are some leftist and democrats who do no begrudge those that have more. But the majority of them stew in their jealousy which turns into hatred, forcing them to live lives where all they do is obsess about the rich instead of appreciating what they have and getting lives of their own.Social justice warriors.Feminists.Professional activists.Professors.Unpaid leftist online journalists. Nearly every liberal arts major.How many leftist lives that are wasted envying what others have instead of saying, "WOW! I'm driving a car ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY at 80MPH to see the GRAND CANYON while eating food conveniently located EVERY 20 MILES at gas stations!"? How many leftists are pissed because the government won't pay for their birth control, instead of focusing on the fact that affordable birth control exists? How many leftists live angry, hate-filled lives because somebody has a 10 bedroom, 4 bathroom McMansion, ignoring the fact their modest 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house will more than adequately house them for the rest of their lives?I always like to look on the bright side of things. And the fact that leftists cannot be happy with the amazing advances and innovations capitalism has put in their green little hands, and choose instead to obsess over the petty and microscopically "better" things the "rich" have to the point it ruins their lives is justice and revenge enough for me. Understand this and understand this well about leftists. They are miserable people who will waste their entire, precious lives being envious of what others have instead of appreciating what they have. And when the day comes that they're on their death bed, all they will have to point to is a life of whining, complaining, hatred, and jealousy.A worse punishment does not exist.
No worse punishment for Progressives indeed:http://captaincapitalism.blogspot.ca/2017/08/the-pettiness-of-left.html
Social justice warriors. Agreed.Feminists. There are both left and right wing feminists.Professional activists. There are both left and right wing professional activists fighting for their desired causes.Professors. Seriously?Unpaid leftist online journalists. So, "Paid" leftist online journalists aren't a problem?Nearly every liberal arts major. There are plenty of right-wing, uber rich, conservative, capitalist students at liberal arts colleges.
Any chance of posting things that aren't personal opinion blogs that serve as unsubstantiated hit pieces?

A newsletter posted on the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) campus started to make the rounds on social media Thursday. It states veterans should be banned from four-year universities. Several viewers asked 11 News to look into the origin of the newsletter.The letter states military veterans should be banned from classes and compares the military culture to white supremacist groups.The newsletter is titled "Social Justice Collective Weekly" and says it is the first issue. A spokesperson for UCCS said the newsletter has nothing to do with the school and does not represent the institution's views. However, it was reportedly approved by the university and posted on a bulletin board. The school says anyone is allowed to post items on the board ...
I write this morning in response to a flyer posted yesterday on the UCCS campus by a non-UCCS group. The flyer references veterans studying at institutions of higher education. UCCS does not endorse and vigorously rejects the offensive viewpoints expressed in the flyer.This flyer stands at the intersection of two core values for UCCS and higher education.On the one hand, we recognize the right of people to express their viewpoints, even when those viewpoints are offensive to many in our community. The University of Colorado system adheres to the freedoms embodied in the United States Constitution, which include the freedom of speech contained in the First Amendment.In doing so, we draw guidance from the words of the United States Supreme Court, which recently reaffirmed that speech touching on social and political matters is within the bounds of constitutional protection. When speech is a matter of public concern, even though it is racist or sexist, it "cannot be restricted simply because it is upsetting or arouses contempt" and we "must tolerate insulting, and even outrageous, speech in order to provide adequate 'breathing space' to the freedoms protected by the First Amendment." I reject the notion that we should censor those who denigrate others, as censorship would have silenced many voices over the decades who needed to be heard.On the other hand, respect for the right of someone to speak should never be taken as endorsing the viewpoints that someone has expressed. The viewpoints that the authors express are against the law. UCCS does not discriminate against veterans. But even more fundamentally, UCCS does not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, disability, religion, creed, veteran status, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or political philosophy. People earn the right to study at UCCS by virtue of hard work and individual effort, and we do not bar the door.Beyond the fact that the authors' position is illegal, it is also wrong. We ascribe to The Board of Regents' Guiding Principle that the University of Colorado shall always strive to "provide an outstanding, respectful, and responsive living, learning, teaching, and working environment." Veterans are positive and valued members of our academic and campus community. They bring experience and viewpoints that enrich our discussions.So do many others. We have learned over time that higher education thrives when many voices join in the conversation. Just as I disagree with anyone who says that we should refuse a UCCS education to someone who ascribes to a religious faith, I disagree with anyone who says that we should refuse veterans a UCCS education.We recognize the pain caused to many in our community. Consequently, I call upon the UCCS community to recognize the value of free and open discourse, while simultaneously standing firm in the inclusive values of our diverse community. If concerns exist about safe expression of ideas, our faculty and staff work diligently and are available to bridge gaps between disparate viewpoints.We know our student veterans to be high achieving individuals with diverse viewpoints and values, and all of us are enriched by and fortunate to have the military community represented in our classrooms and campus spaces.Respectfully,Venkat Reddy, Chancellor

Pedalling pals Phil Whitehead and Paul Weir have run up hundreds of pounds for a charity which raises awareness of cardiac disease.
The pair pedalled the equivalent of 132 miles and each burned off more than 8,340 calories during their 12-hour static bike ride in the Star Inn, Tideswell.
A raffle with prizes donated by many local companies helped the pals raise £900 for CRY - Cardiac Risk in the Young.
CRY was founded in 1995 to raise awareness of conditions that can lead to Young Sudden Cardiac Death and Sudden Death Syndrome.

Former Lord Mayor Christy Burke: 'Open barracks and convents for homeless people'
Former Lord Mayor of Dublin Christy Burke wants the Government to immediately open army barracks and convents to house the homeless.
Mr Burke's comments come after Minister for the Environment Alan Kelly met city councillors yesterday to discuss the homeless and housing crises.
The Independent councillor said the Government needs to "think outside the box".
"There may be spaces in barracks and convents which can accommodate homeless people. It's better than people walking about the street and sleeping on sofas," he said.
"It's not the answer, but in the short term it is security."
Mr Burke said he dealt with 41 housing and homelessness cases at his clinic on Tuesday night.
"I'm blue in the face with housing and homelessness. I didn't get out of my clinic until 10.40pm last night. People are just looking at you crying.
"I have never seen it in such a state in 30 years. We are powerless. There's nothing I can do but make representation."
Mr Kelly said councils had a vital role and responsibility in delivering housing and homelessness services.
He thanked councillors for approaching the meeting constructively and with an atmosphere of cooperation.
"We addressed specific concerns around homelessness services funding and the funding of vacant social housing units," he said.
"I would like to reiterate my commitment and that of my department to continue to fund these programmes for Dublin City Council and that work should continue on this basis.
"Refurbishing vacant units is an excellent use of taxpayers' money – they are the quickest way of providing social housing and the more of it that is to be carried out by DCC, the better."
Green Party councillor Ciaran Cuffe said he was pleased with the minister's response to the meeting.
"It was a useful meeting. The city council is waiting for funding from the Department of the Environment," he said.
"Minister Kelly said that he would welcome any proposals from Dublin City Council for any buildings we own that can be used for housing.
"It's frustrating that the Government has only realised the gravity of the housing crisis.
"The housing crisis is real and urgent, and I was pleased with the minister's response."
The city council has identified more than 100 houses for purchase and 100 for leasing. This is in addition to the 100 specifically for homeless people from an overall figure of 521 to approved housing bodies.
In the Dublin City Council area, some 500 empty houses have been returned to use this year, while work is currently being done on 183 units and planned for another 257.
The council is also examining its portfolio of commercial and industrial properties that might be suitable for conversion for use as appropriate emergency accommodation.
Mr Kelly said that while some progress has been made in recent months, a lot more needs to be done and more quickly.
"I am determined to end the scourge of involuntary long-term homelessness by the end of 2016," he said. Th Government has committed massive resources to this cause and we are starting to see the fruits of that commitment.
"I am again today urging local authorities and all housing stakeholders to continue their invaluable work in this area."
The direction to local authorities mandating that 50pc of all housing allocations must go to homeless and vulnerable households has so far yielded almost 530 homes for that purpose.

Unanswered: MySQL does not see databases after upgrade
I upgrade from 5.0.x to 5.1.45? a few days ago. I installed the upgrade so that that it pointed back to the directories of 5.0, for databases and such.
I had some trouble with the usernames and pwds but managed to correct that. (I had installed without changing the security settings, or so I thought).
The problem is that the databases that still are located in the correct directory (Vista C:\....5.0\data) are not "recognized" by the mysql db engine. (It is set up to ISAM - this is a simple set of databases, logging weather data, only one user, me retrieving data).
Is there a way to attach back the ISAM files to the db engine?
BTW, I have not run any update checks on the database - cannot find the script directory in the windows version of mysql).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions to what might have gone wrong and how to reslove the problem!

Hi Scott,
Well, no, as I said on the line beginning with BTW, I could not find the script. I tried the mysql_upgrade from the mysql prompts (I tried several of the exe:s in the bin directory, giving my user/pwd credentials but non accepted the mysql_upgrade "command").
Right now I am away from home so I don't have the details. So, maybe you're on to something - from what exe should the mysql_upgrade be run - believe me, I have checked the 5.1 ref doc, over and over, and it lacks exact info regarding this. However, in a couple of places, on the web, I have read that the Windows installation either does the mysql_upgrade automatically, or isn't needed. There's a lot of mis-information arond and the ref docs are unclear -at least that is my opinion/how I see it.
I really appreciate any help you can give or clearifying pointers you have.

Hi again Scott, just a clarification, the scripts directory is empty, no scripts were installed with the 5.1.45 circa 105MB installation. Shouldn't it be there?
Also the 5.1 ref docs also tells about command prompt and the need for Admin Privs under Vista, so I am aware of that pitfall.
Thanks again,

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 245097
system-config-authentication fails to update /etc/sysconfig/network for NIS domain
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:45 EST
Description of problem:
Config the NIS domain and server via "system-config-authentication", it updates
the /etc/yp.conf file. But it does NOT put "NISDOMAIN=xxx"
in /etc/sysconfig/network. So when I run "service ypbind start" or reboot the
machine, ypbind doesn't run unless I type "domainname xxx".
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run /usr/sbin/system-config-authentication
2. check "Enable NIS Support" and click on "Configure NIS..."
3. Fill in "NIS Domain" and "NIS Server"
4. Click "OK" and "OK"
Actual results:
ypbind start successfully. But /etc/sysconfig/network is not updated
with "NISDOMAIN=xxx"
Expected results:
/etc/sysconfig/network need to be updated with "NISDOMAIN=xxx". Otherwise, the
ypbind won't start after reboot due to NIS domain is not set.

King Creamery adds ice cream to Portland's bevy of bike-delivery businesses
Portlanders on cargo bikes and trikes will deliver soup, fresh produce, food cart meals, beer and (of course) tamales to your door.
This summer, add another item to the menu: fancy ice cream.
For $24 a month, you can now be a member of King Creamery's Ice Cream Club and get a bike delivery of three pints of the Northeast Portland-based King family's latest ice cream concoction. This month's flavors: "Banana Stand," "Peaches & Cream" and "Mint Cookies."
One-month purchases are also available for $25.
"I've been making ice cream for, gosh, it's been eight years or so," said Jason King, who co-founded the company this spring with his wife, Yvonne. "My wife wanted to have an ice cream party for her birthday one year, so I bought an ice cream machine, and I really got kind of obsessed with making it."

For more than a decade, the Latino and immigrant community has been growing in Virginia. From 2000-2010, the number of immigrants living in Virginia grew by over 60%. That means that today Virginia's immigrant community is larger than that of Washington, D.C. or . In fact, immigrants represent over 15% of the state's total workforce
To respond to the needs of the growing but underserved immigrant community in the state, CASA opened our Virginia Center in February 2013. Since its opening a little more than two years ago, we have developed 120 strong leaders representing 12 cities from our CASA Virginia Center. We have also built a Virginia based membership base of more than 2,500. Over the past years we have been busy hosting major leadership meetings, providing services including citizenship and naturalization assistance, legal services, health and safety classes, and leadership development trainings.

The man, wearing a balaclava, entered the store on the Woodburn Road in the Co Antrim town before demanding money and cigarettes from the shop assistant at around 5.45pm on Sunday.
He also ordered a customer to go to the back of the shop.
The man made off in the direction of Hawthorn Avenue with cash and cigarettes.
He was described as being around 6ft tall and of slim-medium build.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact them on the non-emergency number 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Shah Rukh Khan has a crazy fan following. But the superstar never gets edgy around them, only amused. At the "Jabra Fan" song launch in New Delhi on Tuesday, SRK narrated a strange but adorable incident about a fan, who took a dip in his swimming pool and left without an autograph or even a photo.
"One night, a person entered the house, he took off his clothes, jumped into my swimming pool and swam. When the security guard caught him asking who he was, he said, 'I don't want anything. I just wanted to bath in Shah Rukh Khan's swimming pool'," he told Press Trust of India.
Usually one would freak out after learning of an intruder splashing around in a pool in the middle of the night, but SRK found it endearing. He walked up to the man and hugged him, after which the man left the premises.
"My stardom dwells on the fact that I am extremely ordinary, regular person. Maybe that's why my fans are very regular and kind of cool. I am not this awe-inspiring, strong muscular man. I have never had fans who have scared me," he further added. He enjoys a loyal fan-base across continents, but never takes them for granted. He added how it was a star's job to "cater" to a fan's obsession.
Khan will be next seen in Maneesh Sharma's "Fan," which is slated for an April 15 release. He also has Rahul Dholakia's "Raees" in line. Both films belong to different genres and will see him don some very unique looks.

Hi Ronen,
You can use the ddGetObj() function to check for the existence of a cellview in the file system. I think your parentheses are misplaced in the above example, the then and associated code needs to be before the close paren - dbOpenCellViewByType will return nil if the cellview doesn't exist, but you might also get a warning, so the ddGetObj method might be preferable.
Best regards,
