Linux Job Scheduling
These time specifications may be optionally followed by a date specification. Date specifications come in a number of forms, including:
today tomorrow
These mean what you would expect. "at teatime tomorrow" will run the commands at 4 p.m. the following day. Note that if you specify a time already passed (as in "at noon today" when it is 3 p.m.), the job will be run at once. You do not get an error. At first you might think this a bad thing, but look at it this way. What if the system had been down since 10 a.m. and was only being restarted now at 3 p.m.? Would you want a critical job skipped, or would you want it to run as soon as possible? The at system takes the conservative view and assumes you will want the job run.
<month_name> <day> [<year>]where month_name is "jan" or "feb", etc., and day is a day number. The year is optional, and should be a four-digit year, of course.
MM/DD/YYYY YYYY-MM-DDDon't listen to what the "man at" page tells you! At least in Red Hat 6.1, it is wrong! I suspect it is wrong in certain other releases as well, and I'm willing to bet this is because the documentation has not caught up with Y2K fixes to this subsystem. The at shipped with Red Hat 6.1 handles dates in the two formats above. It appears to handle 2-digit years correctly, turning values less than 50 into 20xx and those greater than 50 into 19xx. I did not test to find the exact pivot point, and I do not recommend that you bother to, either. If you use two-digit years at this point, be prepared to pay a price! Depending on your version of at to treat two-digit years a certain way is foolish. Use four-digit years. Haven't we learned our lesson? (If you worked with computers from 1995 to 1999, you felt the pain as work came to an almost complete halt while we pored over every system with microscopes, looking for date flaws in the designs of our systems. Don't make a Y2.1K problem! PLEASE!!!)
Another way you can modify a time specification is to apply a relative time to it. The format of a relative time specification is + <count> <time units>, where "count" is simply a number and "time units" is one of "minutes", "hours", "days" or "weeks".
So, you can say:
at 7pm + 2 weeks
and the programs will be scheduled for two weeks from today at 7 p.m. local time.
One of the most common forms is this:
at now + x units
to specify a program or programs to be run so many units from now. Something I often use this for is in shutting down my home machine's dial-up connection from work. I dial in before I leave for work, and then I kill it before my wife gets home (I'm too cheap to buy a second line). I use ssh to log in from work, and I like to close all my windows cleanly, so I frequently do something like this:
# ps fax | grep wvdial 599 ? S 0:00 \_ wvdial 875 pts/2 S 0:00 \_ grep wvdial # at now + 10 minutes at> kill 599 at> warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh job 9 at 2000-04-17 16:30 # exit $ exitI then have ten minutes to disconnect cleanly from my home system before my phone connection gets dropped.
Note that the plain old Bourne shell is used for all commands run by at. (Also note: I had to type ctrl-d, the *nix EOF character to close the interactive at session. More on this in the section on the at command line. This is just one factor affecting the behavior of at scheduled commands. Here are some other facts to bear in mind. The present working directory, environment variables (with three exceptions, see below), the current userid and the umask that were in effect when the at command was issued are retained and will be used when the commands are executed. The three environment variable exceptions are TERM, DISPLAY and "_" (which usually contains the last command executed in the shell). The output of the commands is mailed to the user who issued the at command. If the at command is issued in an su shell (meaning, if you "became" another user), the output mail will be sent to the login user, but the programs will run under the su user.
The ability to use at is controlled by two files: /etc/at.deny and /etc/at.allow.
The /etc/at.allow file is checked first. If it exists, only user names in this file are allowed to run at. If the /etc/at.allow file does not exist, then the /etc/at.deny file is checked. All user names not mentioned in that file may run at.
If neither file exists, only the superuser may run at.

Today's modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a "one size fits all" enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Free Webinar: Linux Backup and Recovery
Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Description: The story is about a group of university students who inevitably gets involved in playing a game of "Horumo" - a combat match where each person manipulates 100 spirits (referred to as "oni") to fight the opponent. Akira Abe, a freshman at Kyoto University student falls for his classmate Kyoko, and soon ends up at a mysterious club called ?Kyoto University Azure Dragon? which turns out to be one of the Horumo teams, playing the mysterious (and somewhat absurd) game which started over 1,000 years ago in the Heian period.The heat rises as you see the 2,000 CGI created spirits wage fierce battles against the backdrop of breathtaking beautiful city of Kyoto. Let the battle begin!

A glance through the Lincoln Center Great Performers schedule for this season reveals an unusual number of recitals billed as duos rather than solo turns. This afternoon, the violinist Elmar Oliveira and the pianist Horacio Gutierrez take the stage together. Upcoming combinations include the pianist Bella Davidovich and the violinist Dmitri Sitkovetsky, who are also mother and son; Shlomo Mintz and Yefim Bronfman, violin and piano, and James Levine with (one at a time) the singers Christa Ludwig, Elisabeth Soderstrom, Dawn Upshaw and Tatiana Troyanos.
Over at Carnegie Hall, Yo-Yo Ma and Emanuel Ax will join in playing cello and piano, respectively, in January. Pinchas Zukerman and Marc Neikrug have their second all-Brahms program Feb. 27 there as well, while at the Metropolitan Museum, the violinist Joseph Swenson and the pianist Jeffrey Kahane have two recitals of Schubert scheduled for Dec. 15 and March 23. Meanwhile, the pianist Peter Serkin and the violinist Young Uck Kim returned recently from a grueling two-week tour, playing all the Beethoven violin and piano sonatas in 11 cities from Toronto to Tennessee; they bring the three-concert program to New York next fall.

Today, PEG software provides the user interface technology in millions of products, including printers, MP3 players, handheld GPS units, home security systems, medical electronics and digital cameras.
The three primary PEG libraries include:
PEG ProTM - for today's most sophisticated graphics and high-resolution displays
PEG+TM - high performance, small footprint GUI tool for full color LCDs up to 24 bits per pixel (bpp)
C/PEGTM - extremely efficient; designed for small displays, limited memory requirements & lower color depths
Key Features of PEG GUI software:
• Small footprint, fast execution speed
• 3 graphics libraries to choose from
• High color depth support, up to 32 bits per pixel
• Multilingual support, including UNICODE and UTF-8
• Includes PEG WindowBuilder desktop prototyping tool
• Touchscreen support available
• Supports the industry's leading processors and graphics controllers
• Runs stand-alone & with more than 20 embedded RTOSs
PEG WindowBuilder software:
PEG development tools accelerate GUI design by allowing developers to create prototypes on a Windows or Linux-based PC using PEG WindowBuilderTM software. The PEG WindowBuilder prototyping environment provides a complete visual layout and design tool to enable GUI design work to take place in parallel to the embedded hardware/software development. Unlike other graphic design tools, PEG WindowBuilder automatically generates C or C++ source code that is ready to be compiled and linked into the application, further accelerating the deployment of the final product.
PEG WindowBuilder software comes standard with each of the PEG software libraries. In addition, PEG WindowBuilder, as part of PEG Pro and PEG+ software, includes built-in FontCapture and ImageConvert tools (these 2 utilities are available separately for C/PEG). The PEG WindowBuilder visual development environment allows for rapid prototyping of embedded interfaces, validating the design concepts and usability for key stakeholders by adding an interactive device "frame" to the graphics window simulation.
Contact us today and request a free evaluation version of PEG software.

To really bond with a place, you have to eat breakfast there. Go where the locals go, eat what they eat, see what they're like first thing in the morning, hear what they did last night, listen to what they plan for the day.
Each place has its own little twist: country ham and biscuits in the South, corned beef hash in new York, smoked-salmon scrambles in the Northwest. So when I went to London recently, at the top of the to-do list, along with seeing a Premier League soccer game, was to have a full English breakfast.
I wasn't sure what that meant, advance research not being my cup of tea. But I knew I needed to have one. I assumed that crumpets and clotted cream were involved. But I have no idea what crumpets or clotted cream are.
I walked the endless streets of London for days, keeping an eye out for the proper breakfast spot among the high-fashion shops, the parks, the monuments, the hordes of tourists, the palaces, the row houses, the double-decker buses, the pubs. … London is without real competition the greatest walking city in the world.
I saw that I could get breakfast at Harrods, and the food court there is like something from another planet, but after riding the store's Egyptian escalator, I had to flee back to reality. Down in Soho, I strolled among sex shops and used record stores until I hit a very fancy hotel offering a full English for something like $25. Not my style.
Finally, with only a day or two left in town, I mentioned to my friends, an American college friend and her Irish husband, that I had exhausted the to-do list, save this one culinary adventure. They both perked up and said, "Oh, there's a great place on our high street." (Cultural note: By "high street," an English person means "main street.")
They told me it's called O Girasol, serves fresh handmade food, and it's run by a nice Portuguese family. I didn't say anything, but internally I resisted a little. I didn't want a handmade English breakfast served by Portuguese people. And wasn't I supposed to be eating in a smoky pub or at a greasy fishmonger's or in some uptight dining room?
I default to local advice, though, so let me tell you about the neighborhood, West Norwood. It calls itself a town and a residential suburb of south London. But don't get the idea that "London" ends someplace and "West Norwood" begins awhile later. London goes on forever.
On Norwood Road, I found O Girasol, a cute café with about 10 tables. I was greeted by a lovely woman and said, "I want a full English, and I don't even know what it is!" she was charmed by my American bumpkin-ness and assured me they had the best English breakfast around.
What is an English breakfast? This can start arguments or, in England, polite debates. The consensus is, more or less, eggs, meat, bread, beans, mushrooms, hash browns, and stewed tomato. Yes, they eat beans and mushrooms for breakfast. The meat might be called bacon, but it's more like what we call Canadian bacon; they call it back bacon. you can also call this whole thing a "fry up," since it's usually all fried.
It's in the variations that things get interesting. according to Wikipedia, up in the North Midlands (no idea where that is), they eat fried oatcakes instead of the bread. The Irish might have soda bread, a potato pancake called boxty, white pudding (what you're used to, but with oatmeal in it) or black pudding (the same, but with blood cooked in). The Scots like to have tattie (potato) scones, fruit pudding (actually a sausage made with very little fruit), and, of course, their curse on the earth, haggis. (That would be a sheep's stomach stuffed with its heart, liver, and lungs, mixed with onion, oatmeal, fat, and spices.)
My breakfast was pretty traditional and pretty tasty. And it occurred to me, sitting there with my new Portuguese friends, acting on directions from an American and an Irishman, on a thoroughfare lined with shops and people from all over the world, in a homey corner of a city bigger than our ability to comprehend it, that I was having quite the fully English breakfast.

A Welcome Wagon Boost For First Solar
June 22, 2012 by Jon C. OggFirst Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) has been battered and left for dead. Interestingly enough, the latest news flow has not been as bad and with shares above $14.50 the recovery is around 25% from its recent and all-time lows. Shares are on the rise this morning after an approval to complete a 230-megawatt plant in California.
Los Angeles County has now approved the company to begin module installation at the AV Solar Ranch One facility. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works and First Solar reached an agreement to install solar modules at the photovoltaic power plant which is currently under construction in the Antelope Valley area. First Solar will continue construction activities of the 230-megawatt power plant and it projects that it will generate enough electricity to power 75,000 homes.
Installation of the modules was delayed as First Solar and the Public Works department worked on the module code certifications. First Solar now expects to ramp up staffing for the project over the next several weeks.
Shares of First Solar are up 3.1% at $14.99 shortly before the open. Keep in mind hat First Solar was worth only $1.26 billion as of Thursday's close and the recent and all-time low was $11.43.
First Solar often leads the Guggenheim Solar (AMEX: TAN) ETF.

January 22nd, 2013 | ||||||
3 | Round Robin | 5:00pm | AZE - AUT | 2 - 1 (2 - 0) | Final |
Azerbaijan 2, Austria 1
Azerbaijan earned its second win in as many outings thanks to a 2-1 win against Austria. The loss leaves Austria still looking for its first win at the Hockey World League Round 2 event in Cape Town, South Africa, while Azerbaijan remains in the hunt for one of the two qualification places to Round 3.
Early on, it looked like Azerbaijan would earn a hefty victory after Lyubov Druzhinina marched down field on the first possession and easily scored. The goal served as a wake-up call to the Austrians, especially goalkeeper Karin Stiefelmeyer, who made several acrobatic saves after the initial strike to keep Azerbaijan silent for awhile.
There was little that Stiefelmeyer could do to prevent the 2-0 goal from Farida Mammadova in the waning minutes of the first half. Mammadova had a great second effort to give Azerbaijan the 2-0 lead. It was her third goal of the tournament.
Austria continued to get stronger as the game wore on and was rewarded for their efforts 11 minutes into the second half when Rafaela Rubas netted the team's first goal of the tournament to make it a one-goal game. But despite some solid chances on both ends, the score stayed 2-1 through the final horn and Azerbaijan picked up the three points for the win.

Spend an hour with Alan Yentob and you quickly realize just how good Dick Cavett is.
Yentob hosts "Mel Brooks Strikes Back!" a conversation with the comic genius that premieres on HBO December 10 at 9 p.m. It comes a little more than a year after Cavett performed similar duties in another HBO special, "Mel Brooks and Dick Cavett Together Again."
Cavett brought out the best in Brooks, offering straight-man questions that launched one hilarious anecdote after another. I wouldn't say that Yentob pales in comparison to Cavett. I'd say he's an albino.
The irony is that Cavett, by Brooks' description, is "spectacularly gentile." Yentob comes from an Iraqi Jewish family in the shmata business. Unfortunately, that business is in Britain, where Yentob serves as creative director of the BBC.

Burning Always Burning Always
I wanted to make her happy, to please her, but her orgasms set fire to my cock. It was a difficult relationship at best.
She was a pyrokinetic from the year 5089; she'd come back to my era to escape the (very logical) persecution her kind faced in her own time. It was a one-way trip, so we were stuck together, or rather, she was stuck with me, and I got a cool sci-fi girlfriend out of the deal.
It was romantic. She could light my cigarette by giggling, and when some jerk was mean to me, he could wind up facially deformed for the rest of his life. We were cruel, but there was a logic to our actions. Well, we tried to have a logic for our actions, but let me tell you something: fire is a chaotic bitch of a thing.
The first time we kissed, the clouds caught fire and rained down warm water in the middle of December. The first time I went down on her, she left a scorched outline of her body in my mattress. We threw out the smoke-alarm; it had no place in our relationship.
I can't wear a condom, for the logical reason that it'd just wind up melted into me, which is hardly an optimal situation, but it doesn't really matter. Her heat turns my seed to steam before it can do any real damage.
Yeah, my girlfriend is a pyrokinetic from the future, and she's totally sexy, and totally dangerous.
Whatever. My last girlfriend was totally normal, and she fucked my life right up.

Welcome to /r/FeedTheBeast !
Feed The Beast?
Feed the Beast, also known as FTB, originated as a custom challenge map in Minecraft that made heavy use of multiple tech mods. It played very similar to a type of map known as Sky Block, where the player is started in a void world with only a small platform, and must overcome a series of challenges. Because FTB included tech mods, it was possible to use the various custom blocks and items to keep track of the challenges and the player's progress, as well as automatically give awards after each challenge was met.
The mod pack used for the map then became very popular and soon evolved into many other packs including lite, ultimate and tech world. The Feed the Beast launcher was released in November of 2012 to a livestream of over 9000 people! Since then many youtubers have became involved with Feed the Beast and the community has continued to grow.

Magmatic engine question (self.feedthebeast)
submitted 2 months ago by HazzWoldOfOlde
Is it possible to automate the process of whacking these with a wrench? Theyre apparently smart enough to regulate themselves but mine dies every 2 minutes... Could I perhaps use a BC gate? Anyone got some experience with this?
[–]MisuVir 2 points3 points4 points 2 months ago
Gates can be set to turn off redstone signal when the engine is hot. Probably your best bet.

A BC gate will work, or you can use Redstone Conduits. With conduits, the engines will still burn fuel (slowly) but that's intentional. Incentive to match your generation and consumption. ;)
You should only have to wrench it if connected directly to a machine.
[–]kifujinTeam FML 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago
Just in case, have you made sure any energy conduits they're hooked up to are set for output? That's been the main reason my engines have overheated in the past.
If you really wanted to, a gate connected to a deployer with a wrench should also work.
[–]MenolithTeam Thermal Expansion 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago
I think there's an Engineering Turtle that can do that, but as MisuVir said just a gate is probably easier and more reliable.
[–]HixxaeTeam Extra Bees 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago
I got a gate set to "If energy stored - Send redstone signal". This works well with a pump since there is always a power drain, but the engine is producing too much power.

Dwight Howard, left, has cost the Lakers games with his poor free-throw shooting; Pau Gasol has hurt knees and hurt feelings; Kobe Bryant has become the team's unofficial point guard in the absence of the injured Steve Nash. (Robert Gauthier, Luis Sinco / Los Angeles Times) |
Who else predicted this? OK, me neither.
Nobody could have guessed Steve Nash would miss 18 games, his backup would miss 13, Mike Brown would be done after five games and the Lakers would mishandle the ball so often (league-leading 16.45 turnovers a game).
Not to mention the lazy defense, the undeveloped relationship between Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol's knees and, yes, the missed free throws. ¿¿
The Lakers are a mess, and the following eight questions are a look at what will, won't or might happen in the near future.
Given how many good teams there are in the Western Conference, what's a realistic playoff seeding for the Lakers?
The best they'll finish is fourth in the West, which means home-court advantage only in the first round. Congrats on that.
The team that was supposed to breeze to the NBA Finals will finish below Oklahoma City, Memphis, San Antonio, and maybe (dramatic pause) the Clippers.
Imagine a Lakers-Clippers first-round series, with the Clippers as the home team. Surreal.
I'll perish the thought because it won't help my frequent-flier account.
Then again, it sure beats spending time in Memphis or Oklahoma City. Go Clippers!
Can Steve Nash fix most of their problems when he returns?
Some but not all.
You know he's watching the less-than-incredible involvement Pau Gasol is having in this offense, not to mention Howard too sometimes (four shots against Sacramento, seven against Memphis, nine against Houston).
Think Nash can fix it? Yeah. But he needs to fix himself first. Even if he comes back within a week, it will take plenty of time to get into shape.
He can't run right now. His workouts are occasional 15-minute bursts on an elliptical machine. Guarding Russell Westbrook is more like 1,000 minutes on an elliptical.
So the Lakers will get better on offense (presumably) and worse on defense (definitely) when Nash returns.
Is Gasol resting because his knees hurt? Or because his feelings are hurt?
His feelings are no doubt hurt. This just isn't his type of offense. Putting it bluntly, he was the biggest loser when the Lakers opted for Mike D'Antoni instead of Phil Jackson.

About the Chevrolet SSR
Remember the El Camino? Remember when it went away? Well, Chevy brought an offshoot of it back in 2003 for a stay of 4 production years. The SSR didn't have a great run, but it did have its fans.
The Chevrolet SSR is a confusing vehicle. Is it a convertible pickup? A convertible sedan on a pickup platform? Whatever it is, it's based on the TrailBlazer platform and shaped more or less like a convertible. It's a car! It's a truck! Perhaps the SSR was designed and marketed to appeal to those customers who couldn't make up their minds.

I was born in Tehran on January 1983.
The first chapter of my life was a childhood influenced by the
highly emotional turmoils of the post revolutionary days in Iran.
At age 10, I moved to New York with my family & started the second chapter of my life in the Bronx.
I began painting at age 13 while attending the specialized school in Lincoln Center;
Fiorello H. La Guardia of Arts & performing Arts.
My paintings encapsulate a variety of subjects that are captured in a
delicate nature, all of which are infused with abstract & pop Art.
Although not formally trained as I am with painting, I recently began exploring digital photography by self teaching.
My goal is to expand this new territory to film photography which has always been a dream of mine.
My artwork wether painting or photography, is a reflection of my journey through life as a bi-cultural experience.
Despite all the challenges I have faced in the past & the new obstacles life will bring,
my undeniable drive for Art remains strong. This passion is what truly completes & fuels me.
I currently live in Manhattan with my dog, Picasso.

As usual, weekend is my fishing day. I was looking at BOM to choose the best day. Last Saturday was sunny & a little bit windy at 10 to 20 knots but had higher tide at 1.5m. Sunday was cloudy with 1.44m tide & 10 to 15 knots wind. I was going to fishing at rising tide on both days. I found that both side of coin are mermaid that had head and tail. End up I selected Sunday hopefully there were less UV torture and fish might be more aggressive in darker water.
I had been fishing at Port Hacking since this year. Basically, I had tried most of easily accessed bay. The one left over was Gunnamatta. There is a boat ramp at Tonkin Street. The water is a bit shallow compared to other boat ramp, so it is better for kayaker as less boat is going to use it. I also found toilet but no fish cleaning table. The one missing in toilet is water tap. At the end, I found one near the cricket ground which opposite 3 car parking spot. Therefore I can connect my hose to clean up my gears.
My plan was running anti-clockwise trip to cover right hand side of Gunnamatta bay from boat ramp. My first stop was the Marina near the boat ramp. It might be too new. There was not much bite happening. I only caught few little fish. I found that the pontoons & piers were made by plastic. It might be marine life resistance, so evolution requires longer time to build up there. It was time to move on to try traditional bream tactic by targeting private pontoons. I did not try boat belly as I got too much area needed to cover. The odd was against me, the only thing popped up was donut or under age pinkies. I noticed that most of the water depths of pontoon were less than 4m. I found that depth between 4 and 6m is more productive. Over 6m takes a bit longer time for jig to sink. It becomes harder to handle when windy. The bloody small tailor may take your bait before it reach to bream habitat. The cloud of donut turned into rain fall. One after another, donut after donut! There were no more pontoons to be turned. My esky had only one 25.5cm bream. It was not enough to feed my true monster fish eater dad. Here came the rescuer. The tip of my rod was bended. I set the hook once and feel what kind of fish on the other end. It had a strong and consistent pull power. Definitely, the strength of fish was better & lasting longer than bream. She was dived down all the time. More than likely, it should be a Silver Trevally, so I didn't strike the fish again. I got to be very careful to handle her. I was using 1.5gm #4 finesse jig. It depended on where I hooked the fish but the small hook might anchor near the lips. The mouth of Trevally is very fragile. Too much tension could only break her mouth. If I let her free diving to bottom, there could be many sharp objects to cut off my line. This time, I kept about 5m away from piers. It allowed me to have more open space to move my Revo and move my rod to fight the fish from different angle. I let the drag as it was. It sounded beautifully. My drag became a violin. She played using her mouth as a bow. Whenever the string pulled away from my drag, it created another excitement of music. I put my foot on peddles to drive my Revo to deeper water, the wave breaking from the bow of my Revo. It intensified the movement of this Violin concerto. Here came the wind blowing in front on my face. That was a chilling feel of winning or losing this battle. Lesson has been learnt from previous trip. I need to be patient. I need to be the conductor of this masterpiece. It should be the conductor to dictate the performance of this music. It should be the fisherman to dictate this game! The desperate ran of this hopeless Trevally came to the end after 3 minutes. It was the beginning of my finale. It was time to put my last instrument into water. That was my landing net. Same as every music end, you need to scoop the fish few times in order to get her into the net. That's the end of my Gunnamatta music and how I escape from Donut!

Yesterday this chat showed up on my dashboard (I'm not sure where the misandry is being created, all I'm seeing there is misogyny, but I am merely a simple woman and perhaps someone can explain that one to me). This part in particular jumped out at me:
Society: Beautiful, pretty, sexy,…
Normally I agree with you Hobbes, but I think you missed the boat on this one.
I don't know you, I don't know your mother, and I don't know how your relationship is, so I can only tell you how I see her comment.
As a parent, I think my son is beautiful. It has nothing to do do with his physical appearance and everything to do with him being my son. It isn't my eyes that are pleased, it's my heart.
So If someone like myself called you "beautiful" for your academic achievements (aside from it being really creepy) I could understand your rant. Because it was your mother, I hope you take it in the spirit that it was meant.
Look for the helpers.
While the news stations keep replaying that awful explosion, count how many seconds it takes for people to start running to help. You'll be astounded.
Two seconds after the blast, policemen are already responding with drawn guns, directing the runners to safety, and moving towards the spot where a bomb just went off.
Four seconds after the blast, the people in yellow jackets are running towards the explosion. Four seconds ago, these people's job was to stand on the side of the race and make sure bystanders didn't jump the fence and tackle a runner. Four seconds later, they're responding by running towards the wreckage and pulling it off of injured people.
Shortly after that, the first EMT's, doctors, and other medical staff are running towards the injured with wheelchairs and gurneys.
Every time you see this footage, watch for those people. Instead of seeing the worst of mankind, you'll see the best.
Last night, Bear woke up. I know what you're thinking, "but babies always wake up in the night, what's so special about this one that you're writing about it?"
Last night, Bear woke up not because he was hungry, not because he was wet, not because he's a baby and that's what they do. Last night, Bear woke up because he had a bad dream.
I picked him up and he kind of fell asleep while I was holding him. When I put him back down, he got scared again. He grabbed his blanket and smushed it up on his face, and then reached up to me with a really panicky look on his face.
I just rubbed the top of his head until he calmed down. When I took my hand away, he reached back up to me and whimpered.
I'm pretty much powerless when he does things like this. I left my hand on his head to let him know I was there until he fell asleep and then some.
I told you, I got your back kid.
one year
My son showed up one year ago today.
He's happy almost all of the time, and even when he's grumpy it's still cute. He makes everyone happy who plays with him. Aunts and uncles, grandparents, great grandparents, he's just a little guy who hands out smiles.
He makes his mother happy when he learns new things. When he says a new word, when he picks up a book and carries it over asking her to read it, when he learns how to put the square in the square hole and the circle in the round hole.
He makes me happy when he makes new noises. The first night, he was mewing like a kitten. He absolutely slays me when he goes, "aaaaaah!" This week, he learned, "oooooooh! wooooooo!" Of course, my favorite noise is and always will be "daddee!"
I can't help it, it's wired into my brain. Whenever he says that I have to go see what he's up to. Bear, whenever you say daddee I promise I'll always come to you.
Bear, I love you more than anything in this world. My wish for you is to live everything life has to give. The joys and the pains, the mundane and the grand.
And if the world trips you up, just say my name and I'll be there for you.
I got your back, kid.
this crime is criminal
- Also I just got introduced to a new person today and her shirt was different. My immediate reaction was it looked like she skinned a muppet. I imagine Elmo is crying in a corner somewhere because he just lost all his fur.
- I haven't met anyone wearing clothes made from the hide of a muppet. I need a picture of the shirt.
- That is going to be really tough. She's in from another office so I'm not sure where she is sitting.
- Request her presence. When she shows up, say, "hold still" and take the picture. When she asks what that was for, tell her that you're trying to catch muppet poachers and she'll be reported to the authorities.
- Today on Muppet Poachers…..This Jacksonville woman believed that she could avoid apprehension by travelling across multiple state lines to the cold white north of Wisconsin. Once there she boldly adorns herself in her chosen Muppet hide thinking it safe but she was unaware of the reach of national Muppet cruelty laws.
- FBI agents Bert Macklin and Sealy Booth were dispatched to apprehend the fugitive from justice, only to be thwarted by their status as fictional characters on television shows.
chock full of genius
My last post was about a less-than-optimal experience I had at Best Buy looking for a car stereo in MIlwaukee, WI where I live. It was picked up and re-blogged by someone on tumblr from San Antonio, TX who happens to be a Best Buy employee. In addition to reblogging my post, she added her own colorful commentary.
Highlights include:
- calling me a "lazy fat ass."
- saying my "shitty ass car" was the source of the problem
- the whole incident was my "fucking fault."
- calling people who have issues with poor customer service her "least favorite people."
I blew this off as one of the hazards of posting things on the internet; sooner or later the trolls come out from under their bridges and type things.
But the more I thought about it, I felt that this wasn't right. An employee of the store I was not happy with called me names and swore at me. What the hell is that all about? On top of that, she went out of her way to find something on the internet that wasn't even about her or her store to do so. Basically, she was going cross-country to piss off a customer.
So, I wrote a letter to Best Buy complaint department detailing the incident, including links to my original post and her commentary. I invited them to consider how my concerns were treated by one of their employees and how that reflects on their image.
It's also worth noting that this person actually put their name and the exact store number that they work at on their blog, so without even having to try, I could identify exactly who the person was for them.
Lucky for me, I also have a friend who is a manager of a Best Buy. I told him the barest outline of my story which did not include who or where this person was, and within minutes he was able to identify the person and the store she worked at as well.
And in that last sentence, my friend has summed this up pretty well.
The internet can be a fun place, but it doesn't exist in a vacuum. There is a real world outside of here, and consequences can hurt.
badlydrawnmonsters: brick and mortar?
I needed a new car stereo. The stock one had the backlight burn out, and while technically replaceable, the process for doing so looked more painful than shelling out $100 for a new stereo that isn't top-of-the-line. Knowing that compatibility with my car has been an issue from previous attempts…
What a shame no one came and asked you for help. This guy could have easily walked over there. Strike 1 on being a lazy fat ass. His parts weren't in the store, must be a shitty ass car, strike 2 for your own fucking fault. AND GOD FORBID WE HAVE GOOGLE ADS! JUST LIKE FUCKING YOUTUBE DOES! STRIKE 3 FOR TRYING TO MAKE MONEY WITH A COMPANY THAT WE ARE ALREADY PARTNERED WITH!!! These people are my least favorite.
Guys, guys! Someone on the internet thinks they know all about me!
Oh wait that's right, I don't give a shit. Carry on.

brick and mortar?
I needed a new car stereo. The stock one had the backlight burn out, and while technically replaceable, the process for doing so looked more painful than shelling out $100 for a new stereo that isn't top-of-the-line. Knowing that compatibility with my car has been an issue from previous attempts at looking for a new stereo, I decide to ask the experts at the local Best Buy.
Now, I'm an online shopper. I love Amazon and I buy almost all of my stuff from them, with the only exception being groceries. I'm hearing a lot these days about how online-only retailers are putting traditional stores out of business, but I think to myself, "Self, if there was ever a situation where it might be useful to consult with someone this might be it."
So I drive to the Best Buy. I walk into the car stereo section. There are approximately two stereos on display that would fit my price range. Not knowing if either of these models would fit my car, I try to find an employee. There are two of them deep in discussion about something. Another shopper comes up and asks them if they can help her, and one responds with, "Just a couple minutes, as soon as I finish this." I stand there politely for a few minutes waiting for them to finish their discussion. When they finish whatever it is they were working on, the one employee goes in search of the lady who asked for him, and the other disappears into the back of the store.
Strike one.
So, I'm standing there by myself, and I see that they had been standing in front of the computer kiosk. As I'm not about to get any help from them, I saddle up on the kiosk. I enter my car information, get a list of compatible stereos, and notice that none of them are in stock at their store. Every single one that fits my car must be ordered and will take 5 business days or so to get there.
Strike two.
"Okay," I think, "maybe this kiosk can at least tell me what wiring harnesses and mounting hardware I will need to get this thing installed in my car." So I start scrolling around the website/kiosk to see if there is a link to give me this information. And then I notice at the bottom of their website thatBest Buy has sold ad space to Google. Google, realizing I'm on a car stereo website, suggests several other online retailers to me.
Strike three.
A couple minutes later, I have used crutchfield.com's website to not only find a whole assortment of products compatible with my car, but I have pulled out my credit card and bought the stereo. Not only that, but the crutchfield website automatically knew what wiring harness and adapter I would need for my car, and they were free. And free-two day shipping.
To summarize:
While in Best Buy, using one of their employee's kiosks, I researched and purchased from their online competitor a product that they could have easily sold me in less time than it took for one of their employees to even ask me if I could be helped. I paid less and will receive it faster than the brick-and-mortar store can do.
I wonder why their business is suffering.
