July 2012 Fantasy Discussion Nominations
(I would swear I posted this a week or so ago at the same time as the SF one, but can't find it anywhere, so here it is again.)
Hi all,
Time for some nominations for a July BOTM. Have at it.
1. Everyone can nominate one book and second a reasonably small number of other books.
2. Books must be available new in US and UK (I just check the two Amazons for this). They should also be in a format other than hardcover, so as to keep costs down.
3. Books must be standalone or book 1 in a series (usually not a problem in SF).
4. They can't have been book club books before.

The Night Watch - Sergei Lukyanenko
Hello, I am new to the site, and I saw this, and thought this could be a good place to start. Love the idea of having a hearty book discussion!
I thought I would nominate the above. Have downloaded it onto my Kobo, so I know it available as an e-book and has had some good reviews.

And now I realize why I didn't actually post this when I thought I did before. This should be a nominations for July thread, as we'd already decided to do some de Lint for June.
Folks left it up to me to pick some de Lint, so here I go....
I've had the floors redone in my house recently, and all my books are boxed up. I was hoping to pick based on which de Lint I found first. Most of it's staying boxed up because we've decided to do some painting before doing the great unpack. I think I can lay my hands on The Onion Girl, though, so I think that's our June book.
We have one nomination for July so far. Any others?

There's tons and tons of books I've been meaning to read, so it's hard for me to pick just one!
I'd support any Lukyanenko books, though. It's one of the series that I've wanted to get to, and I've heard good things about them.

Looks like there's some agreement for Night Watch. I dub it the July BotM.

This year, Holy Week begins on March 29 with the celebration of Palm Sunday. For those who are unfamiliar with Holy Week, it is the most important time in the Church Year, since it commemorates Jesus' last week on earth prior to his crucifixion and resurrection. The articles posted below provide a brief summary of the events of Holy Week and how we celebrate them at Good Shepherd.
Welcome to Good Shepherd!
Here at Good Shepherd, we believe that we are called to celebrate God's love by worshipping and growing in our faith. As Jesus, the Good Shepherd, knows his sheep by name and is known by his sheep, we also strive to be a church where people feel connected to each other and engaged with the wider community. We invite you to worship, grow and serve with us.
The Mission: To celebrate God's love and grow together in faith, to serve the world in Christ's name.
The Spirit of Good Shepherd
From Good Shepherd's beginnings over 30 years ago in the basement of founding Vicar Art LeClair's home to our current congregation of 275 families and 800 members, parishioners have experienced a church community where they are known, loved, empowered and cared for. Good Shepherd is a friendly and welcoming congregation that is known for its tolerance of different views, its joyful and accessible worship, and its active community life, where people find ample opportunities for creating meaningful friendships and finding support in times of need.
Come and experience the Spirit of Good Shepherd!
Latest News
On Palm Sunday, the congregation gathers outside on the back patio (weather permitting), receives palm leaves - symbols of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and then processes into church.
In the spring of 2014 Good Shepherd completed a successful capital campaign by raising over $450,000. This short video program was prepared to inform parishioners about our mission - to celebrate God's love and grow together in faith, to serve the world in Christ's name - and to inspire them to participate in the campaign. Take a minute to view the video in order to learn more about our congregation, our history and our mission.

A method for distributed automatic speech recognition enables a user to request an audio web page from a speech server by using a browser of a speech client connected to the speech server via a communications network. A determination is then made whether persistent user parameters are stored for the user in a parameter file on the speech client accessible by the speech server. If false, the user parameters are generated in the speech client, and stored in the parameter file. If true, the user parameters are directly read from the parameter file by the speech server. In either case, the user parameters are set in a speech recognition engine of the speech server to perform an audio dialog between the speech client and the speech server.

[0001] This invention relates generally to automatic speech recognition, and more particularly to distributed speech recognition using web browsers.
[0002] Automatic speech recognition (ASR) receives an input acoustic signal from a microphone, and converts the acoustic signal to an output set of text words. The recognized words can then be used in a variety of applications such as data entry, order entry, and command and control.
[0003] Text to speech (TTS) converts text input to an output acoustic signal that can be recognized as speech.
[0004] The Internet and the World-Wide-Web (the �web�) provide a wide range of information in the form of web pages stored in web or proxy servers. The information can be accessed by client browsers executing on desktop computers, portable computers, handheld personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellular telephones, and the like. The information can be requested via input devices such as a keyboard, mouse, or touch pad, and viewed on an output device such as a display screen or printer.
[0005] Audio web pages provide information for client devices with limited input and output capabilities. Audio web pages are available from web servers. A number of standards are known for the description of audio web pages. These include Sun's Java Speech, Microsoft's Speech Agent and Speech.NET, the SALT Forum, VoiceXML Forum, and W3C VoiceXML. These pages contain voice dialogs and may also contain regular HTML text content.
[0006] Distributed automatic speech recognition (DASR) enables client devices with limited resources, such as memories, displays, and processors, to perform ASR. These resource-limited devices can be supported by the ASR executing remotely. DASR can execute on a web server or in a proxy server located in the network connecting the client's browser and the web server.
[0007] Multimedia content of web pages can include text, images, video, and audio. More recently developed web pages can even contain instructions to an ASR/TTS to provide an audio user interface, instead of or in addition to the traditional graphical user interface (GUI).
[0008] Audio Forms serve a similar function as web forms on text pages. Web forms are the standard way for a web application to receive user input. Audio forms provide any number of Fields. Each Field has a Prompt and Reply. Each Prompt is played and the Reply is �filled� by speech or a time out can occur if no speech is detected.
[0009] Voice applications often use both TTS and ASR software and hardware. Much progress has been made in ASR and TTS but errors still occur. Errors in the TTS can produce the wrong sound, timing, tone, or accent, and sometimes just the wrong word. Those errors often sound wrong but users can learn to correct and compensate for those types of errors. On the other hand, errors in ASR often require a second attempt to correct the error. This makes it difficult to use ASR. ASR errors are often misrecognized words that are phonetically close to the correct word, or cases where background noise masks the spoken words. Any technique that reduces such errors constitutes an improvement in the performance of ASR.
[0010] Error reduction techniques are well known. One such technique provides the ASR with a grammar or a description language that specify the set of acceptable words or phrases to be recognized. The ASR uses the grammar to determined whether the results match any possible expected result during speech to text conversion. If no match is found, then an error can be signaled. But even when grammars are used, the ASR can still make errors that conform to the grammar.
[0011] Fewer errors occur when the ASR is trained with the speech of a particular user. Training measures parameters of speech that make it unique. The parameters can consider pitch, rate, dialects, and the like. Typically, training is performed by the user speaking words that are known to the ASR, or by the ASR extracting the parameters over multiple training sessions. Characteristics of the speech acquisition hardware, such as microphone and amplifier settings can also be learned. However, for some applications where many users access the ASR, training is not possible. For example, the number of users that can call into an automated telephone call center is very large, and there is no way that the ASR can determine which user will call next, and what parameters to use.
[0012] When the application is built to accept any speech, it is much harder to filter out noise. This leads to recognition errors. For example, background speech can confuse the ASR.
[0013] Prior art solutions for this problem restrict the users input to a limited set of words, e.g., the ten digits 0-10 and �yes� and �no,� so that the ASR can ignore words that are not part of its vocabulary to minimize errors.
[0014] Thus, the prior art solutions typically take the following approaches. The ASR only recognizes a limited set of words for a large number of users. The system is trained for each user. The system is trained for each session. The user provides an identification while a default speech recognition model is used. The ASR dynamically determines expected recognition parameters from training speech at the beginning of a session. In this type of solution, the initial parameters can be wrong until they are adjusted. This causes errors and wastes time.
[0015] The recognition problem is more difficult for DASR servers because the DASR is accessed by many users who may access a site in random orders and at random times. Having to train the server for each user is a time consuming and tedious process. Moreover, users may not want to establish accounts with each site for privacy reasons. Cookies do not solve this problem either because cookies are not shared between sites. A new cookie is needed for each site accessed.
[0016]FIG. 1 shows a prior art DASR 100. The DASR 100 includes a speech client 101 connected to a speech server 102 via a communications network 103, e.g., the Internet. The speech client 101 includes acquisition settings 110 that characterize the hardware used to acquire the speech signal, and a user parameter file 111. The speech server 102 includes a web server 120, and an ASR 121. Note, the web server has no direct access to the parameter file.
[0017] For additional background on speech recognition systems, see, e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,356,868, �Voiceprint identification system,� Yuschik et al., Mar. 12, 2002, U.S. Pat.

[0018] A method for distributed automatic speech recognition according to the invention enables a user to request an audio web page from a speech server by using a browser of a speech client connected to the speech server via a communications network.
[0019] A determination is then made whether persistent user parameters are stored for the user in a parameter file on the speech client accessible by the speech server. If false, the user parameters are generated in the speech client, and stored in the parameter file. If true, the user parameters are directly read from the parameter file by the speech server.
[0020] In either case, the user parameters are set in a speech recognition engine of the speech server to perform an audio dialog between the speech client and the speech server.
[0021]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a prior art distributed automatic speech recognition (DSR) system;
[0022]FIG. 2 is a process flow diagram of a DASR system according to the invention; and
[0023]FIG. 3 is a data flow diagram of the DASR system according to the invention.
[0024]FIG. 2 shows a distributed automatic speech recognition (DASR) system and method 200 according to the invention. The system maintains persistent user parameters on a speech client that can be accessed by a speech server during speech recognition. The user parameters model the users' voice and can also include settings of hardware used to acquire speech signals. In addition the parameters can include information to pre fill forms in audio web pages. For example, demographic data such as name and address of particular users, or other default values or preferences of users, or system identification information.
[0025] The method according to the invention includes the following steps. A user of a speech client requests an audio web page 210 from a speech server that is enabled for DASR. The request can be made with any standard browser application program. After the request is made, the server determines 215 if the user parameters are stored on a persistent storage device, e.g., a disk, or non-volatile memory 218 on the client. As an advantage, the parameter file is directly accessible by the speech server.
[0026] If the user parameters are not stored, i.e., the determination returns a false condition, then new user parameters are generated 220 either by using default or training data 225. The generated parameters are then stored 228 in the parameter file 218. Multiple sets of user parameters can be stored for a particular user. For example, different web servers may use different implementations of a speech recognition engines that require different parameters, or the user can have different preferences depending on the web server or site accessed. The user parameters can be stored 218 in any format on a local file of the speech client.
[0027] If the user parameters are stored, i.e., the determination returns a true condition, then the user parameters are read 230 from the parameter file 218. The audio acquisition parameters 240 are set in the speech client for the user. The DASR user parameters are set in the speech server 245. The appropriate dialog is generated 250 to communicate with the user. The user parameters can also be used to pre fill forms 260 of audio web pages. The dialog is then presented to the user 270, and a check is made 280 to see if any required forms are complete. If not, then the dialog is further processed 270, otherwise exit 290.
[0028]FIG. 3 shows the data flow 300 of the DASR system and method according to the invention. A speech client 303 is connected to a speech server 301 by the web 302. The speech client 303 makes a request to get 310 an audio web page from the speech server 301. In reply, the speech server provides the audio web page to the speech client. The speech client loads the audio web page, fetches necessary parameters, and posts 330 the user parameters to the speech server. The speech server reads the posted parameters, sets the ASR parameters, and generates and sends the 340 audio web page to the client. The speech client loads the audio web page, applies the audio acquisition parameters, and start audio acquisition to engage 350 in a speech dialog with the speech server. As an advantage, the DASR according to the invention saves time, and has fewer errors than prior art DASR systems.
[0029] Although the invention has been described by way of examples of preferred embodiments, it is understood that various other adaptations and modifications can be made within the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, it is the object of the appended claims to cover all such variations and modifications as come within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Harbinson attending 1st Huskies game in 7 years
GRAND FORKS — Fred Harbinson hasn't attended a college hockey game since he left St. Cloud State seven years ago.
"It's very rare to have the chance, especially when you have the schedule we have," said Harbinson, the former St. Cloud State assistant who is now the head coach and general manager of the Penticton Vees in the British Columbia Hockey League.

Cracked Grout in Kitchen Backsplash
Hi All,
I am hoping someone may offer some advice.
We renovated a 1938 Cape and gutted the kitchen this past May. We had noticed slivers of grout coming out where the granite meets the backsplash and notified the GC. I came home tonight to find his solution was to use a clear caulk in that area as a repair. I wanted to see if this is acceptable or a poor attempt at a band-aid?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Caulk, colored to match the rest of the grout, allows the countertop to move without cracking the grout. Which cracked because cabinets/countertops will move independent of the wall.
The caulk should have been used instead of the grout in the first place.
Using clear is a bandade---to negate having to remove the old cracked grout and do it right.

Latest American Institute for Cancer Research Stories
Regardless of whether cancer occurs due to genetics or lifestyle habits, there are some things we can all do to help prevent cancer.
Community Shredding Events Will Take Place at Participating Locations across the Country to Help Raise Cancer Awareness (PRWEB) May 23, 2014 PROSHRED
Women who eat a healthy diet, exercise and drink coffee are at a lower risk of developing womb cancer, according to a new report by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR).
The analysis of a new major study has concurred with decades of research that being active means being healthy, and also reduces the risk of cancer.
While a new study claims that one in every eight women in the UK will get breast cancer, experts are saying that many other forms of the disease are easily avoidable with a few simple lifestyle changes.
GENEVA, February 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- New estimates released today, on World Cancer Day, by the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) and World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF)[1] show that by eating a varied and healthy diet, undertaking regular physical activity, being at a healthy weight and limiting alcohol intake, about 340,000 cases of cancer in United States could be prevented each year.

John Gruber (1768-1857)
The Hagerstown Town and Country Almanack was established in 1797, making it the second oldest almanac in the United States. It began in a modest print shop on South Potomac Street in Hagerstown, Maryland and was the creation of colonial printer John Gruber and his partner and son-in-law Daniel May. Gruber is considered by many to be one of Hagerstown's "favorite sons" right along with Jonathan Hager, the town's founder and namesake. His almanac has been published continuously for 219 years and is the ONLY almanac that is still published today by direct descendants of its founder.
The Almanack, as it soon became known, grew in popularity, quickly becoming an integral part of everyday Early American life. For many years hence, it was THE primary source for agricultural, meteorological and astronomical information vital to an agrarian community's survival. The highly accurate weather forecasts (made over 14 months in advance) were first derived using centuries-old methods but over the years, the method has been advanced, incorporating newer, more reliable techniques. And it still contains favorite folk remedies, useful hints and tips for everyday living, and other forms of traditional community wisdoms. Millions of copies have been sold and it has been said that the The Almanack has made Hagerstown widely-known throughout the U.S. and has given Maryland an 'epicenter' of farming and agricultural life.
Throughout its long history, The Almanack has been recognized countless times for its contributions to the steady development and success of colonial agrarian society as well as for making a significant contribution to our national pride.
SPECIAL NOTE AND CORRECTION: Due to a printer's error, the Moon Up and Down Signs for March 2015 in the Almanack were interchanged. The correct dates are as follows: Up Sign on March 14, and Down Sign on March 27. We apologize for the error and thank those readers who have kindly pointed it out.
Hagerstown Celebrates Star Spangled Banner's 200th Anniversary!
On October 9th, 2014, The City of Hagerstown held a celebration honoring the 200th Anniversary of The Star Spangled Banner and to also honor John Gruber and The Maryland Theater for their 200+ years of contribution to the arts and humanities to the region. The celebration commemorating Gruber's significant cultural and historical achievements was held at the site of Gruber's first print shop on South Potomac Street (now, coincidentally the site of the Maryland Theater!). The honors included the unveiling of a historical marker, speeches by officials, and certificates of special recognition issued by city Mayor David S. Gysberts. It was John Gruber, along with partner and son-in-law, Daniel May, who first published The Star Spangled Banner (originally titled "Defence of Fort McHenry') in song form in his National Songster - 1814, Hagerstown, Maryland. For local media coverage of the day's events, go to http://www.heraldmailmedia.com/news/local/hagerstown-celebrates-first-printing-of-the-star-spangled-banner/article_12bc03d0-502c-11e4-a3f2-0017a43b2370.html.

OT: Tornado
On Christmas evening, we had been under tornado watches for quite a while, and bands of rain had come through. Around ?5:00, one of my husband's ham radio friends who monitors weather with state-of-the-art weather equipment called us while we were having a tremendous storm, with torrential rain, the trees swaying, and the lights flickering. He said a tornado was southwest of us and heading our way! So, we got ready to grab all the dogs and go to the central bathroom, should we hear a roar. We didn't get a tornado, but I heard on radio and TV about tornadoes touching down all around here. When I went to Hattiesburg yesterday, we were shocked to see the obvious path of a tornado not far north of our house, maybe a half mile? or mile at most, but closer than I want one to come! It was probably only an F1 category, and it only went through woods, nobody was hurt fortunately. I got a picture of the area today -
Over there and told my husband you all were involved in the bad weather.
I am so glad it missed you! We get them a lot in Al,too.One passed very
Close once,and hearing it(it was daytiime) I ran outside and saw the funnel.
It left a mess in it's path about like your picture!I have three adopted dogs.
If I ever had to go to a shelter I may have a problem.I could take the little
One.She goes everywhere with us in the RV anyway.
So glad nobody was hurt!
Wow, MissSherry - so glad you all are okay! Of course, you know I live (and those of us from Oklahoma) live in Tornado Alley. We have had lots of really bad ones here. Fortunately, I have never been in one. I was close, but not actually involved in one. With tornados, you just never know which path they will follow. They often make lots of twists and turns, zig zag this way and that, and it is difficult to predict where they will hit.
I think I would rather deal with them, tho, than the hurricanes you call have to cope with.
Glad you're okay and hope no one suffered too much damage and injury.
Glad to hear that the tornado missed your property! I'm happy that such weather extremes as tornadoes and hurricanes are a rare event up here in New England. Although we have had a couple tropical storms and an earthquake in the past couple years. Weird weather!

âMiracle on the Hudsonâ? Coverage Enhanced by Gravityâs Editing and Distribution Capabilities
NEW YORK â Network News Service (NNS), a company formed by ABC, CBS and FOX News, delivers breaking news video, audio and metadata files to over 400 affiliate stations across the U.S. To accomplish this enormous task, NNS relies on SSLâs Gravity News Production System that interfaces with the existing news room control system to streamline the editing and automatically distributes media files to the networks. The âMiracle on the Hudsonâ? coverage was greatly enhanced by Gravity through the timely editing and distribution of breaking news footage.
âWe needed to put in place a state-of-the-art system that would allow for both editing of media and quick distribution of finished materials,â? says Bob Barrera, managing editor of Network News Service, and currently the interim general manager. âOur work with Gravity has been tremendously successful. For the Miracle on the Hudson event, Gravity provided us with the capability to rapidly move some early aerial shots of the scene and provided us with a quick turnaround of cut material. Gravity has a strong, capable, editing system, which, for our purposes, was what we needed. We accomplished nearly 20 different cuts as well as providing raw material in the opening minutes of the story. The type of capability Gravity offers will be instrumental in all coverage of major breaking news across the country for us in the future.â?
The Gravity system at NNS consists of 21 file format agile encoders and 19 user stations that can be used as either media asset management stations or editing stations. Additionally, NNS has nine regional news bureaus across the U.S. connected into the Gravity system, allowing each to view material on the New York based server in real time and add metadata or do complete edits via the Internet.
âGravity is a file and stream based system and is currently providing these files and streams directly to CBS Newspath, with ABC News One and Fox News,â? says Arnold Scher, project manager for the MediaWan division of Solid State Logic. âNNSâs partner networks no longer need to use baseband video connections. Gravity allows the users to edit a breaking story while the system is ingesting files. So before the capture of an event is even finished, materials can be pushed out to the networks in a matter of minutes keeping the heart pounding pace of breaking news fresh.â?
Says Phil Sexton, Gravity quality control test engineer for SSL at NNS, about the Miracle on the Hudson event, âGravity performed flawlessly. Video was hitting the encoders left and right, crash records were being banged out everywhere and Gravity encoded the myriad of incoming streams making the material instantly available for editing. The Gravity Package Production Tool (PPT) editors then worked their magic. Stories about the crash landing and rescue were being successfully published at a rate where NNS could consider themselves the fast lane of broadcast news coverage. The network partners had access to videos quicker than they had with their traditional system of getting video to air. Gravity was simply amazing.â?

Help My New House Plants Please
So I figured out the names of my new plants from my moms funeral and now I need some help taking care of them.
I live in zone 6-6b in south central PA. The heat in my house is set between 63-67 so it stays pretty cool in here while it's cold outside.
They all came in one basket which I have repotted into seperate pots with drainage holes on the bottom. After I repotted them I watered all of them until the water started coming out of the drainage hole and then let them sit in the sink for an hour. Then I placed them all in a NE facing window that has some pine trees over it. I did this last Sunday and we have not had any sunny day since.
I think they may be over watered but I'm not sure what else I can do to make the soil dry out. I have moved them to a table in front of a South facing window and prayed for some sun.
Please let me know what else I can do for my plants. Here they are:
#1 - Diffenbachia
#2 - Dracaena deremensis
#3 - Pothos I think or may be philodendron?
#6 - Possibly Ardisia crenata
#5 - May be Dracaena godseffiana, gold-dust dracaena
#6 - Looks like Oleander
If it were me, I would get rid of the moss, pull out all the plants and add much more perlite to the soil...like 50/50 ratio at least. Then I would repot and put the plants in a window with bright but indirect light and water in a few days to a week.
Let's see what others have to say.
I am sorry about the loss of your mother. That is not a happy way to acquire new houseplants, but I can understand why you want to keep them. You were right to move the plants into separate pots, and I imagine you went to a lot of expense and effort to pot them all up, so I feel bad saying this, but they do look like they are overpotted. Houseplants need for the soil to dry out some between waterings so that their roots can absorb oxygen. You can reuse the current potting soil as long as it isn't moldy, just amend it with perlite as the others recommended. You can find it at any garden center. It will make the soil lighter and less water retentive. Also try to move down a pot size or two, save your larger ones, and with luck the plants will grow and be ready for the larger pots in another year or two. I am also in Pennsylvania. We can't control the weather. I have several of the same plants that you have. If they can make it through the winter then they can be placed in a covered and shady area outside in the spring and they will rebound. Good luck.
I too am sorry about your Mom...I can understand why you want them to survive..
I agree with everyone that posted before me...Maybe you can encourage new healthy root growth with the great suggestions...I wish you and your plants well..
Very sorry for the loss of your mom.
I agree with the above. Some of these dont need pots as big, a couple look cold burned. And all of them are over watered. Get them out, add some perlite and give them some time to adjust. If you want to keep them alive dont kill them with to much love
Out of all those plants, the Philodendron hederaceum is the most enduring. If any of them survive and thrive, it should be that one. Yet I believe all of them have a chance to survive and maybe even thrive. Please carry on with tendersoft care and they should all recover
I feel like we started reading a mystery novel someone had ripped the first 2 chapters out of. I'm engrossed, but not sure I know what's going on at all. This may just be the adjustment to being recently disturbed/repotted.
I'm wondering if this soil is so dry it's hydrophobic, not really getting wet when you add water, just running out of the bottom? After you water, are the pots a lot heavier? That kind of soil mix moves around when water is poured on it, squirting the surface with a spray bottle can help it accept some moisture without moving it around (which compacts it) so much.
Generally, I would make an effort to improve the soil, but IDK about doing it so soon after the recent trauma already experienced, during such dreary weather.
I think #6 might be a croton (Codiaeum,) BTW.

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The New Spirit of Capitalism (Paperback)
This book is a superb introduction to the way capitalism has reordered itself in the workplace in the neo-liberal era.As such it gives useful insights into the growth of network capitalism and the delayering of bureaucratic structures. However its most useful insights concern the way this was sold to people who were disenchanted with old style bureaucracies and their lack of freeedom. These resentments were played on via the redeploying of an originally leftist critique of alienation to serve the interests of capital. Thus desires for freedom, flexibility, autonomy and greater responsibility were used to convince people of the validity of the project. Here is the books great value for the left as it points towards some of the reasons right wing thinking has made such great strides in the last three decades; it also points towards the necessity of an non statist left response something left politicians have been astonishingly slow to come to terms with.

Hack and / - Your Own Personal Server: DNS
A DNS master contains its own zone files that have name→IP address mappings, and it doesn't have to consult any other source to answer queries for those names. By contrast, a DNS slave is configured to load all of its zone configurations from a DNS master. Any future changes are made on the master and propagate to each of the slaves. Any individual BIND instance acts as a DNS master, a DNS slave or a caching name server, or all three at the same time (although it can be a master or a slave only to any individual zone, not both).
For this example, let's set up a DNS master for example.org, and this master will have the following records:
ns1.example.org, which points to 22.214.171.124 (the public IP of the name server itself).
example.org, which points to 18.104.22.168.
www.example.org also points to 220.127.116.11.
To start, I create the zone file at /etc/bind/db.example.org (remember Red Hat stores these zones in a different places) and put the following information in it:
; ; BIND data file for example.org ; $TTL 4h @ IN SOA ns1.example.org. root.example.org. ( 2 ; Serial 604800 ; Refresh 86400 ; Retry 2419200 ; Expire 604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL ; @ IN NS ns1.example.org. @ IN A 126.96.36.199 www IN A 220.127.116.11 ns1 IN A 184.108.40.206
Make sure this file has similar permissions to the other zone files you find in the /etc/bind directory. The first non-comment line in the file sets the TTL or Time To Live, the default time in which a remote DNS server will cache any answers it gets from your DNS server before it will ask it again. The value you put here will help determine how fast changes you make will propagate. BIND accepts seconds in this field, or you can use shorthand values like 1d for one day, 4h for four hours or 20m for 20 minutes. I set the TTL to four hours here; however, if you make frequent changes to your records (or know you are going to soon), you may want to make the TTL shorter. On the other hand, if you find you hardly ever change these values, you might want to bump up the TTL to a day to reduce load on your DNS server.
Something to note is that zone files use semicolons not hashes at the beginning of a line for comments. A common mistake is to put hashes in a zone file to make a comment, reload BIND and then wonder why your changes didn't take. When BIND sees a mistake like that, it just skips that particular zone.
To keep things simple, I'm going to skip the Retry, Refresh and other values here—just keep them with these defaults unless you know what you are doing. The Serial line is for DNS slaves, which I discuss later. Below those values, however, you'll see the syntax I used to define the different records:
@ IN NS ns1.example.org. @ IN A 188.8.131.52 www IN A 126.96.36.199 ns1 IN A 126.96.36.199
The first record starts with @, which means it is a record for example.org itself. In this case, it is an NS record that defines the hostname I'm going to use for my name server. You can use any hostname you control here (including hostnames on a different domain, actually), but one popular convention is to use hostnames like ns1 and ns2 for the first and second name servers. The second record begins with an @ as well, only in this case, it's an A record. An A record is a fundamental DNS record that maps a hostname (like www) to an IP address (like 18.104.22.168). In this case, because the record starts with @, I am setting the IP address for example.org itself. The next two lines define two more A records, one for www.example.org and one for ns1.example.org. It's important if you used a name within this same domain for your name server (like ns1.example.org) that you be sure to add an A record so that it has an IP address.
Now that I have created my zone, next I need to modify the /etc/bind/named.conf file and add a new section at the end of the file to point to the /etc/bind/db.example.org file I just created:
zone "example.org" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.example.org"; };
After the file is changed, I reload BIND, and I should be able to send DNS requests to my new DNS server:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 reload * Reloading domain name server... bind [OK] $ nslookup www.example.org localhost Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1#53 Name: www.example.org Address: 22.214.171.124
If there is a problem with the BIND reload, it should tell you on the command line. Otherwise, if it still doesn't work, you may have to look in your syslog file (/var/log/syslog on Debian-based systems and /var/log/messages on Red Hat) for clues.

It's the best way to clean up your loaded ammo as well. Just toss the ammo, set it on high heat and stand directly in front. Wait for the BANG, if it doesn't happen reset the timmer and repeat until you get shot in the junk.

I would disconnect the heater element. The dust from the corn cob media settles on the heater element and when temperature get high enough, the smoke detectors go off.
Or you could disconnect the smoke detectors, have hooks from the ceiling and do you own hams.

Just thought i'd throw this up here real quick to see if anyone had any hints or tricks I could try while I try and figure out how to return this thing.
I ordered a KAB4 off of Amazon, with the full intentions of using the burner out of it when I complete my brew stand. It arrived today, so I excitedly opened the box and set all my pieces out. Immediately I noticed two things:
1) The oxygen screen won't rotate. Its so tight I can barely get it to move. I spent some time trying to wear in the outside by forcing it to rotate, but it did not do much good.
2) When I decided to just get the jet installed so I could test fire it and set the damper, I noticed the jet would slide most of the way into its hole. I couldn't ever get it to thread, and i can more or less pull it out without much issue.
Inspecting the hole shows that there is threading, its just very faint. If I put the jet all the way in (without oxygen damper) I can twist it about 1/2 twist and get it to stick. However, this won't leave room for me to install the damper.
Anybody else seen this kind of issue with the banjos? I'm assuming this is not normal...but i've never played with these before. This thing weights a ton, and i'm very much not looking forward to having to repackage and haul it to the UPS store for a return.
Any advice, tips, tricks? Just call amazon or bayou and get an RMA?
Thanks for listening, cheers
Send it back.
