As I approach the end of my third round of P90X, I want to take a moment and write briefly about the supplements I've been using.
Those of you who have been following my Round 3 Blog know that my intent this round was to gain weight and build muscle. It's been a unique experience, because it's really been the first time in my life where I've tried to gain weight (usually, it's been the other way around!).
I've also "tweaked" the Classic P90X program quite a bit in order to more efficiently reach my goals:
- I've implemented a lot of traditional weightlifting exercises in place of some of the P90X exercises; for example, during all the push-up exercises I move onto the bench and do flat, incline and decline dumbbell bench presses, lifting as heavy as I'm capable of.
- I've also focused on only one muscle group per day. So for example, during the Chest and Back dvd, rather than alternate between those two muscle groups with the people in the video, rather, I'll do the Back exercise with the group and then pick another Back-oriented exercise to do while the people in the video move onto a Chest exercise.
- I've kept the cardio to a minimum, usually only once per week, and I've limited it to shorter but more intense interval-type training, as opposed to longer, more drawn-out cardio sessions that could possibly risk burning muscle tissue.
- And finally, I've run a "positive calorie balance," meaning I've been eating more calories than I'm typically burning (by about 650 per day).
I started Round 3 at a weight of 178.5 pounds and at about 10.5 percent body fat. My goal was to reach 190.5 pounds at or under 12 percent body fat. If successful, that would mean a 12-pound gain in weight, with 8 pounds of it being muscle, in 90 days (not bad!). This morning, Day 77, I weighed 191.5 pounds and I feel pretty good about my body fat (I'm confident that it's close to my target limit – we'll see!). If I'm correct, that would mean I've gained approximately 8.5 - 9.0 pounds of muscle in 76 days!
So, without further adieu, here's what I've been using to help me gain muscle mass and add quality weight:
Shakeology by Beachbody
Shakeology has become the staple of my diet. The 70+ vitamins, minerals and nutrients it contains has allowed me to drop my daily multi-vits. I mix "stuff" (banana, peanut butter, whey protein, soy milk) into mine and by the time I'm done it's typically near 600 calories and 55+ grams of protein – a muscle builder indeed! I usually have my Shakeology as a "bridge" between breakfast and lunch.
Prime by USP Labs
Prime is a testosterone booster (T-booster) designed to help me lift heavier weights and develop denser muscle. I take (2) Prime, six days per week, with meals.
Pink Magic by USP Labs
Pink Magic is another testosterone booster of sorts that can be taken as a "stand alone" supplement or "stacked" with Prime. I'm "stacking" and it's pretty powerful stuff. I take (2) Pink Magic, six days per week, with Prime. I also take (2) additional pills thirty minutes before my workout.
NO Bomb by MHP
NO Bomb is a "vascularity enhancer" that I take thirty minutes prior to my workout. This means that this supplement basically increases blood flow (and accordingly, oxygen delivery) to my muscles during exercise. I noticed a big difference in the quality of my workouts and my muscle pumps when I started using NO Bomb.
Monster Pump by Cytosport
Monster Pump is a powder than I mix with lemonade and take fifteen minutes prior to my workout. Its' concept is similar to NO Bomb, but it also has caffeine and other ingredients that give more energy, endurance and focus during my workouts. I really feel as though this has contributed to better quality workouts as well.
P90X Results and Recovery Formula by Beachbody or Dark Matter by MHP
I alternate these two post-workout "recovery" drinks every four weeks, to keep my body from acclimating to one or the other. They are both quality products and great recovery drinks. Recovery drinks are so important, because they provide the glycogen and insulin that depleted muscles need to repair and recover after intense exercise. Recovery drinks also work towards sort-of "flushing" lactic acid out of muscles, thereby greatly reducing muscle soreness. For performance, I'd give the nod to Dark Matter, for taste, it goes to the P90X R&R by a mile.
Elite 12 Casein Protein
Unlike whey, which your body absorbs and processes quickly, casein is broken down slowly and "feeds" your body over an extended period of time. When people sleep, it's generally the longest period they go without eating and therefore their bodies start to creep from an anabolic state (muscle-building) to being in a catabolic state (where your muscles are "eaten" for energy and sustainment). Ingesting casein protein doesn't allow this catabolic state to occur.
Well, there you have it. I'm excited to see where this round ends and what the final numbers are. If I don't quite reach my goals, believe me, it's won't be from a lack of effort!
People always question not only the price, but the effectiveness of supplements. I'm here to tell you first hand that they played a crucial part in my losing 49.0 pounds and 23.2 percent body fat in my first two rounds of P90X, and now they're playing an equally crucial role in my gaining 13.0 pounds so far here in Round 3.
"Bring It" people!
Any thoughts on Jack3d? Have you ever used it before a workout? I have and the results were amazing, but I'm worried about side effects so I stopped. Is it a valid concern?
Round 4?
Insanity starts January 28 - gonna get shredded now (or at least TRY!)
Any thoughts on OEP, along WITH Prime and PM ? Can you stack all three?
Honestly, to take all three at the same time would be counter-productive, IMO. I would cycle them - in fact, I'm just getting ready to cycle off of Prime and PM and cycle onto OEP!
PS I will write you an email later on this afternoon with goog news :)
Thanks for your dedication and for sharing your results. I really think I can do this!

I have a lot of experience with C and I like it. There's certainly something to be said for familiarity.
C is old and well-tested.
There are many C libraries and tools available, far more than for newer languages.
In some cases, a 20% performance hit isn't worth it. An MTA on a busy mail system is one of those cases. While it's true that most mail systems are not that busy, MTA authors rightly attempt to make their MTA as fast and reliable as possible.
LCA: Lessons from 30 years of Sendmail

I don't mean to insult you, but this is exactly the mindset I mean.
Meh... everyone tends to like tools he/she is familiar with. That's just human nature. Maybe some Perl or Ruby fanatics will eventually write an MTA in their language...
Any decent language has a foreign function interface for calling C functions.
But... but... then you're back in dangerous territory, no?
No, they don't. C won't give you the fastest possible result, assembly will (portability is not an excuse, use a portable assembly language like LLVM assmbly)
OK, now I know you're just arguing for the sake of argument. :) That's totally ridiculous and you know it.
Anyway... go ahead. Write a UNIX MTA in something other than C or C++ and see how it fares. The proof is in the pudding.

Unsurprisingly, they were getting a lot of spam on that server, and postfix was having trouble keeping up. So they switched to qpsmtpd, "a flexible smtpd daemon written in Perl" which uses "Danga Interactive / Six Aparts insanely scalable event-driven asynchronous socket class".
Justin reports: "results have been great we now have a pure-perl system handling heavy volumes without breaking a sweat, certainly compared to the previous system."
Posted Feb 4, 2011 16:07 UTC (Fri) by dskoll (subscriber, #1630) [Link]
I read that article. The problem with the Postfix solution was not Postfix, but the fact that they were filtering from a procmail-invoked Perl script. That's a huge fail.
We run our Perl spam-scanner in conjunction with Sendmail, but we use the Milter interface to keep persistent Perl scanners running. The bottleneck in this system is by far the spam-scanning; Sendmail doesn't even show up on the radar.

(The first significant codebase I worked on was C++, and I've probably still written more Perl than I have C)
Posted Feb 5, 2011 17:10 UTC (Sat) by dskoll (subscriber, #1630) [Link]
But this simply isn't the case: C is just one spot among many, many, many others on the efficiency-vs.-comfort curve. More specifically, it is not on the performance maximum of that curve, since that's where assembly language is.
It's not a smooth curve. The transition from C to assembly involves a *huge* increase in the difficulty curve with a relatively modest increase in the efficiency curve. C is a just-high-enough/just-low-enough level language to hit a sweet spot in efficiency-vs-difficulty.
But you already know this and are just arguing for the sake of it.

I find it interesting that you detract from C as an unsafe language by advocating for assembler.
He didn't advocate for assembler. It was reductio ad absurdum -- if fast is the only consideration, you would use assembler. Since you don't use assembler, fast is not the only consideration.
Since fast is not the only consideration, maybe you should consider safety. Or lower development cost (with which you can probably pay for the extra hardware you need compared to the C or assembler implementation at the same speed).
Posted Feb 5, 2011 2:07 UTC (Sat) by nybble41 (subscriber, #55106) [Link]
That is not to say that there are no other relevant considerations, but other languages are not necessarily any safer or easier to develop in than C; it varies depending on the project. Sometimes there really is no other viable alternative. For example, the only other realistic systems programming language I know of is D, which (while otherwise a great language) is not as portable as C (yet), nor nearly as well established so far as libraries and tool support are concerned.
Posted Feb 26, 2011 13:16 UTC (Sat) by job (guest, #670) [Link]
C is good because it is trivial and easy to read when done properly. Token expansion or resource exhaustion won't creep up on you from the underlying libraries.
There are of course other aspects to it. Given the choice between a C daemon and a Python one, without knowing the program I too would probably pick the latter one, but it all boils down to prejudice.

Wedding Crashers [DVD]
Director : s David Dobkin
Screenplay : Steve Faber & Bob Fisher
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2005
Stars : Owen Wilson (John Beckwith), Vince Vaughn (Jeremy Grey), Christopher Walken (Secretary Cleary), Rachel McAdams (Claire Cleary), Isla Fisher (Gloria Cleary), Jane Seymour (Kathleen Cleary), Ellen Albertini Dow (Grandma Mary Cleary), Keir O'Donnell (Todd Cleary), Bradley Cooper (Sack Lodge), Ron Canada (Randolph), Henry Gibson (Father O'Neil)
One could make a substantial argument that there are precisely two ways to have fun at a wedding: Either you go with someone you love or you pick someone up at the wedding. That's it. Going to a wedding solo -- and, worse, leaving a wedding solo -- can be one of modern life's great miseries, made all the worse by the fact that you have to grin and bear it while being baked in the expensive, rosy glow of someone else's romantic wish fulfillment.
Wedding Crashers effectively has it both ways. It's a split affair, with the first half rooted deeply in sarcastic cynicism and the second half digging out redemption for its seemingly unredeemable lothario protagonists. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn play John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey, a pair of divorce mediators who spend their spare time crashing every big wedding in town in order to pick up women whose defenses and inhibitions have been weakened by the air of matrimony. Wilson and Vaughn, members of the so-called "Frat Pack" of comedic actors whose ranks also include Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, and Will Ferrell, are well-matched, with Wilson's shaggy charm playing nicely against Vaughn's motor-mouth enthusiasm. Wilson essentially plays the romantic straight man, while Vaughn is the clown, his gusto slowly buried beneath an ever-growing heap of indignities.
Director David Dobkin (Shanghai Knights) doesn't waste much time before jumping head-first into the wedding-crash ploy, sustaining an exuberantly lengthy montage of John and Jeremy crashing weddings (Jewish, Irish, Indian, etc.) and using every ruse in the book -- from dancing with the flower girl, to using such groan-worthy lines as "I think we only use 10% of our hearts" -- to land girls in bed after the reception.
The fact that John and Jeremy's wedding crashing is all about sex is what makes their scheming so gleefully cynical; they're essentially exploiting others' public displays of intended lifelong love to uncover a direct passage to no-strings sex, the very opposite of what matrimony is all about. But, Wedding Crashers isn't nearly as hard-hearted as you think (or, in some cases, hope), especially once John and Jeremy crash the big-time wedding of the daughter of the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury (Christopher Walken). There, John sets his sights on middle daughter Clair (Rachel McAdams), who turns out to have a sadistic blueblood boyfriend (Bradley Cooper), and Jeremy gets tangled up with youngest daughter Gloria (Isla Fisher), who turns out to be both a virgin and a "stage-five clinger."
Jeremy wants to make a hasty exit, but John is so taken with Rachel that he manages to get them invited to an after-wedding weekend getaway with her wealthy, but highly dysfunctional Kennedy-esque clan at their weekend lake house (mansion, really). This is decidedly against the "rules" that John and Jeremy so strictly follow, but by this time they're both so far off their well-worn groove that anything's possible. And that is precisely what gives the movie its kick. The opening scenes of wedding crashing are hilarious and naughty, but they're not enough to sustain an entire movie. The shift to the weekend getaway changes the movie's tone and introduces numerous clashes that threaten to upend not only John and Jeremy's scheme, but their friendship, as well.
Unfortunately, Wedding Crashers goes on a bit longer than it probably needs to, winding its way to a tidy, romantic conclusion that finds the previously sex-crazed commitment-phobes happily in the arms of their beloveds. In a sense, this is yet another instance of animal comedy safely neutered in the third act, and it would be disheartening if it weren't made so clear early on that this was the direction the story was headed. Even when Hollywood comedy is at its nastiest, it still finds a way to embrace romance.
Wedding Crashers Uncorked Edition Platinum Series DVD | ||
Wedding Crashers is available on DVD in both an unrated "Uncorked Edition," which includes both an unrated version with 8 1/2 additional minutes and the R-rated theatrical version, and a regular Platinum Series edition with only the theatrical edition. Both versions are available in both widescreen and pan-and-scan. | ||
Aspect Ratio | 2.35:1 | |
Anamorphic | Yes | |
Audio | | |
Subtitles | English, Spanish | |
Supplements | | |
Distributor | New Line Home Video | |
Release Date | January 3, 2006 | |
No surprise that New Line delivers another stellar transfer. Wedding Crashers is presented in a spot-on anamorphic widescreen transfer. Though just a bit soft at times, it is well-detailed and features bold, popping colors. | ||
The Dolby Digital 5.1 surround soundtrack is also solid. Dialogue is clear and understandable throughout (which is crucial when Vince Vaughn goes off on one his rapid-fire monologues), and the film's use of music is nicely arranged in the surround speakers. The "Shout!" montage near the beginning is appropriately heavy and well spaced. | ||
Director David Dobkin provides a surprisingly thoughtful screen-specific audio commentary, while Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn generally cut up on their commentary track. While Dobkin takes himself perhaps a bit too seriously, while the stars mostly offer beyond buddy jokes and anecdotes, which makes one think they might have been most effective had they been all combind onto one track. The disc also includes two featurettes: "Event Planning," a 12-minute featurette that looks at the design and shooting of all the wedding scenes in the film, and "The Rules," a 7-minute riff on the rules of wedding crashing, which are also listed out in a text-based supplement. A "Soundtrack" feature allows you to jump to any point in the movie that features a song. Also included are the film's infamous teaser trailer and the original theatrical trailer. |

I live in Flagstaff, Arizona. Flagstaff borders the Navajo Nation. It is surrounded by the Walapai reservation, Yavapai reservation, and many others. I work and live with members of many different Indian tribes. They have their own religions, languages and cultures, but we all share the same community. My daughter, whose father is black, is engaged to a full-blooded Walapai Indian, and yes, they refer to themselves as Indians. The politically correct term of native American doesn't matter to them. They are indigenous to this continent, but have no problem with the term Indian.
They have no animosity toward the white people in this country. The Code Talkers of World War II (Navajos) were instrumental in helping the allies defeat the Japanese and Nazis. They were proud to serve as citizens of this country. The skyscrapers in New York City are largely built by Indians who have no fear of heights and walk the I-beams a hundred stories and higher in the air.
We are a free people and choose to live and work together. We do not hide from the past. We do not ignore atrocities. We learn from them. We strive to be the best we can be. We are all human and therefore flawed, but we also encompass all the good things of being human. We seek to find the good and edifying things that any man accomplishes in life and, though presidents do some things that are bad, they also do things that are very good.
We remember all of it. Guilt accomplishes nothing. It helps no one, certainly not those who suffered long ago. Humanity is always learning and moving forward. We cannot change the past. We can only hope to do better now and in the future. I hope that someday you can come and visit the Southwestern United States and see first-hand how we share our communities without any hatred. Come and enjoy our Mexican cuisine, Indian art, wide open spaces and the Grand Canyon. We never claimed to be the most perfect people on Earth, only the most free. Here you can walk into a Chinese restaurant, be waited on by a Mexican waiter, have your food cooked by an Indian and pay a British cashier. Please, come and see how we blend together and let the past remain in the past, always moving into a brighter future.

Traveling to Class AAA No. 1 Greenbrier East was sure to be a tough task for the Class A Man High School girls' basketball team on Wednesday night.
The Spartans were too much for the Lady Billies to handle as Greenbrier East coasted to a 72-37 victory over Man.
Bianca Andre led the Spartans (19-0) with 17 points. Maddee Carroll pulled down 10 boards for the winners.
Man, which closed out the regular season with a 13-7 record, was paced by Summer Sword, who finished with a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Hannah Harvey added six points, while Morgan Conn had three. Taylor Whited and Keeley Porter had two each.
The Lady Billies started off well, leading East 12-10 after one quarter. The Spartans then outgunned Man 26-4 in the second quarter to grab a commanding 36-16 halftime advantage. Greenbrier East outpointed Man 19-14 in the third to lead 55-30. A 17-7 fourth by the Spartans then set the final score.
Man is scheduled to play in the Class A sectional tourney next week.

If you're thinking about a commitment to a healthy lifestyle as one of your New Year's resolutions, one of the First Day Hikes at a nearby state park may be a great way to usher in the New Year.
Cloudland Canyon State Park and Fort Mountain State Park in Northwest Georgia and the Desoto State Park in Northeast Alabama are among the parks slated to participate in the nationwide program.
Regardless of the park, hikers are encouraged to dress appropriately, bring binoculars, a camera and a water bottle. People not accustomed to hiking during the winter months can enjoy views that are not typically available when leaves are on the trees. "You can really appreciate the magnificent shapes of trees, and you'll see rocks and streams that are normally out of sight. Plus, winter is a good time to look for wildlife like fox and turkey," said Becky Kelly, director of the State Parks division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
The Cloudland Canyon cut into Lookout Mountain southwest of Chattanooga will take hikers to Hemlock Falls and Cherokee Falls where visitors will be able to learn more about the unique geology and history of the canyon. There is a $10 fee for the hike at Cloudland Canyon, which will be led by the parks outfitter guides. Contact the park at 706-913-7170 for additional details.
The Fort Mountain First Day Hike is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and the park's website does not indicate there is a fee for that program. People can reach park officials at 706-601-7593
In Alabama southeast of Fort Payne, visitors to Desoto State Park will take a six-mile hike that is regarded as one of moderate difficulty. The trek will allow visitors to see several waterfalls.
The Desoto First Day Hike will begin at the park's Country Store at 10 a.m. and continue until 3 p.m. CST. Additional information is available by calling the park at 256-601-7593.
The events are being coordinated across the nation by America's State Parks, an advocacy organization created to educate the public about the importance of state parks and enhance cooperation between parks officials in all 50 states.

In recession, 'breastaurants' still have big, huge profits
6/25/2012Mugs N Jugs, Twin Peaks, the Tilted Kilt ... they all have two things in common. Chauvinism and patriarchal privilege. JUST KIDDING! Tits and profits, we meant to say. Like Hooters, these restaurants feature classic diner fare served by busty girls in skimpy costumes. And while non-sexualized eateries like Applebee's struggle with the economic downturn, these so-called "breastaurants" are swelling at a hormonally imbalanced rate -- all three growing by 30 percent this year. Twin Peaks is now a $44 million business, and its owner Randy DeWitt credits his shockingly inappropriate hiring procedures. "We hire only spectacular talent. They have to fit into that costume."
Are these eateries harmless fun or degrading?

Pearl Sessions (Pearl plus lots of bonus tracks)
CD (Item 605983) Columbia, 1970 — Condition: New Copy
The sound of a legend – a raw rocking classic from Janis Joplin – arguably the most perfectly-formed record from her all-too-short run in modern music! There's a focus here that's even sharper than before – and a rising of the funky undercurrents that Janis always had in her music, matched with vocals that are some of the most soulful you could ever hope for from the blue-eyed hippie generation! The album was the last one that Janis ever recorded, and it's a classic through and through – with titles that include "Move Over", "Cry Baby", "A Woman Left Lonely", "Trust Me", "Get It While You Can", and "Mercedes Benz". Amazing package – the full original album, plus 6 more bonus mono mixes of singles – plus an additional 20 more bonus tracks – both from the sessions, with alternate takes and demos, and two live tracks too! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

KDE Baby
My baby daughter who is only 3.5 months old just loves Linux. After installing SuSE on my new and shiny P4 and introducing her to Geeko the chameleon, she is getting very interested. She especially likes KDE. I guess she is attracted by the Fisher Price Toys-like look and feel of the Keramik theme. The photo shows Idun showing her enthusiasm for KDE.

SMART and Disk Errors
In the January 2004 issue of Linux Journal, I came across the article
on SMART by Bruce Allen on page 74. I downloaded and installed it without a hitch.
I ran it with the -t (test) option and immediately afterward I
encountered disk errors. (Before I ran smartctl everything was
fine.) I shut down and rebooted. The system ran fsck because it
encountered errors on the hard drive. I eventually had to run fsck
in manual mode and lost info.
Marshall Lake
Bruce Allen replies: I'm sorry to hear you've had disk problems. What's happened in your case is unfortunate. You had a disk that already was compromised before you examined the SMART data and ran self tests. Probably some of the disk sectors were unreadable, but you didn't know it because they were storing files that you normally don't access. When you ran a disk self test using smartctl -t, this did a read-scan of the disk, and the disk problems became apparent.
Before investing additional time in the system with this disk, make sure that the disk does pass a long self test without errors and that the Current pending sector and/or Offline pending sector raw counts are zero. If not, the disk needs repair/replacement before you fix the OS problems.
If your OS distribution is RPM-based, I suggest that you use the verify options of RPM to make a list of all missing or changed files on your system along with the name of the package that they came from. Then, re-install the packages that have missing or corrupted files.
The failure rate of new hardware (and particularly new disks) is higher than when they are a few days or weeks old. New hardware is more likely to fail than hardware that has worked for some time. The fact that fsck worked okay means only that the filesystem is consistent. It does not read all the data from the disk.
The smartctl -t command starts a self test that reads every byte on the disk. This is a much more thorough test than fsck. I strongly advise you not to trust the disk unless it runs a smartctl -t long test without revealing any problems.
Questions for Robert Love on I/O Scheduler
I just read your I/O scheduler article in the February 2004
Linux Journal. Great article, but it left me with a few questions.
Hopefully you can answer them for me. How do the Deadline and
Anticipatory I/O Schedulers detect when a deadline has been met
or passed? Are there multiple kernel threads, one or more that
are processing the main queue and one or more that are walking the
read/write queues checking deadlines? Wouldn't the Anticipatory
algorithm also give the possibility of causing starvation? If we
assume a request comes in and the deadline passes, the I/O scheduler
will see that the deadline is passed and process the request, then
wait 6 milliseconds thinking there may be one or more requests in the
same area. If there are one or more requests in the same area, then
will it basically loop processing these close requests, waiting
6 milliseconds, processing more requests, etc.? The test outputs
really show how much better the I/O schedulers in 2.6 are than in 2.4
, but how much does the process scheduler play into this—choosing the O(1) scheduler over the default 2.4 scheduler?
Torin Ford
Robert Love replies: Glad you liked the article. There are no threads involved. The I/O scheduler code is handled in two places: in the interrupt handler for the disk's driver and in the process context code of the process submitting the request. The code can detect a deadline easily, because the deadline-sorted lists are inherently FIFO. The request at the head of the list has the oldest expiration, so the list need not be walked—just peek at the head of the FIFO list.
In reply to the question about whether the anticipatory algorithm will also lead to starvation, eventually another request will expire, and it will go service it. The anticipation heuristic is just used to decide where to seek to, it otherwise does not change the algorithm of the disk.
I don't think the better process scheduler comes into play whatsoever. We know why the times are better: the writes-starving-reads phenomenon, so the better numbers are readily explainable.
English Lesson
The February 2004 issue of Linux Journal once again has the awful phrase
"comprised of" (on page 56). Can I ask you to grep through incoming
manuscripts to catch this annoying solecism in the future?

It'll be in our stylebook from now on. —Ed.
Flaky Entertainment System
I was on a Virgin plane in December 2003 with such a faulty system
that something like 90% of us mostly saw the reboot console! Luckily,
it was a night flight, otherwise the kids would have gone crazy, and
there was no mention of Linux on the screen, so most people would
not have associated it with our beloved OS! However, it also shows
that we need to release only well-tested stuff to real customers,
a lesson we need to learn if Linux is to move into the home

Compatibility List?
Recently I went looking for a Linux compatability list
on the Web and I was unable to locate one. Does LJ
know where one is located?
Walt L. Williams
Every major Linux distribution maintains a hardware compatibility list. Not all distributions include the same hardware support, so you need to check yours. If you want to know whether there's a driver available in source code form that you can compile and configure, you usually can do best by searching for the hardware name +linux on Google. —Ed.
Table Fix for Work-Flow Article

Only the first row is relevant for text comprehension. Tables

Lindows: Good install, but Support Needs Work
After reading Steve Hastings' review of Lindows 4.0 [LJ, December 2003], I had a few comments of my own to add. First, concerning the Click-n-Run warehouse, I had many of the same complaints as Steve. Along with the rebranding of many packages and the inability to get packages to work properly, there is a serious problem with software versions being behind the curve. For instance, their OpenOffice.org version is 1.0.3, whereas the current OpenOffice.org is 1.1.x. Evolution in the warehouse is on version 1.2, while Ximian is on version 1.4. There are many examples of this.
Another serious problem is in the area of customer support. I sent a report to Lindows tech support in late December 2003 about these issues and have yet to receive anything other than an automated response ("We'll reply to this issue in a few days"). Since that initial report, I've sent two follow-ups, and those have gone unanswered as well.
Having said all that, I will agree that Lindows is very simple to install. I tried both 4.0 and the new 4.5 version, and they install in less than 15 minutes. There were problems with the video card (an ATI All-in-Wonder) and the media-card reader, but I have less problems with getting Lindows to work with the hardware than I did with Mandrake, Red Hat and that other company from Redmond.
But, until they have current version applications available in the
Click-n-Run warehouse and until they resolve the issues with customer
support, I won't be recommending Lindows to anyone.
Ed Dulaney
Big News at Linux Vendors?
The Linux magazines have been conspicuously quiet about two of the
biggest Linux stories of 2003. The first is Red Hat rolling their
Linux into Fedora Core and dropping support of their older versions.
The second is Novell buying SuSE and Ximian.
Red Hat is putting a positive spin on their story, while many
others believe it's a blunder on Red Hat's part and a betrayal of
their customers.
Novell, is now a major Linux player. Does it all of a sudden
have Linux religion? Will they contribute to Linux's evolution?
Or is Linux just the latest strategy/weapon in their age-old war
with Microsoft?
Both these stories have a big impact on the Linux community,
and they are getting a lot of coverage and discussion on-line.
I would expect LJ to join in on the same. Will this happen soon?

LJ Discovers IT's "Dark Matter"
Just wanted to commend Doc on a great piece ("DIY-IT..." [LJ, February 2004]) and LJ for being a brave enough to print it, despite its vendor-specific (read: advertiser) implications.
Doc is on to the scoop of his journalistic career with his series on how open source (and LAMP in particular) is taking over the enterprise and putting customers back in control. The game is no longer about getting spoon-fed solutions that take too long to implement, cost too much money and fail to address the specific needs of any given business. It's time to say good-bye to cookie-cutter enterprise software and Doc knows it.
What is more, another reason why he is on to something big is because the open-source way, and the LAMP platform in particular, make developers more productive. Vendors know it, developers who have used the tools know it, and even those that haven't are beginning to suspect it.
In my day-to-day, I deal with friends and colleagues (as well as my own staff) whose employers everyone would recognize as being pillars of the Internet economy. These folks depend daily on the huge productivity improvements that come from open development tools and the passionate communities willing to stand behind them. However, most of them either won't, or can't for various corporate reasons, climb the nearest tree and scream to the world about it.
Like dark matter that can't be seen but whose presence is felt
everywhere, all of these folks "in the know" are rebuilding the
very infrastructure on which IT depends, one brick at a time. And, in
perhaps what is just as important, they are also rebuilding all
of the starting assumptions behind what "enterprise
is all about.
So thanks Doc and LJ. Keep on it—you're on to
something big.

VP Engineering
In the article "DIY-IT: How Linux and Open Source Are Bringing Do-It-Yourself to Information Technology" [LJ, February 2004], Craig McLane, VP of Technology at Ticketmaster, was mistakenly identified as the source of quotations that were in fact made by Sean Moriarty, EVP of Products and Technology at Ticketmaster. The article also said the event where the talk took place was LinuxWorld Expo. In fact, both men spoke at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention. —Doc Searls

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Moms Talk
Breastfeeding: Not As Easy As It Looks
Did you breastfeed your baby?
Breastfeeding is a natural way to feed a baby but formula is another option. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends "exclusive breastfeeding for about the first six months of a baby's life." AAP reports that breastfed babies have less risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and obesity. "..choosing to breastfeed should be considered an investment in the short- and long-term health of the infant, rather than a lifestyle choice," says the AAP. For some moms, breastfeeding comes easily. But for other moms, it can be a challenge, one that sometimes cannot be sustained. Some moms simply do not have enough milk. Other moms experience pain or have other health issues that create a problem. My son ended up in the neonatal intensive care…

The Freaky Things Kids Say
We all love to talk about our babies! Here's an invitation to do just that. Let's see if we can freak each other out, campfire style. I can picture it now...sitting outside at night, hearing the crickets chirp...the breeze is blowing, there's a bonfire. Let's tell the stories of the creepiest things our children have ever said...
I'll start.My daughter Ava was 2, almost 3. We lived in Florida, and at the time, there was a big story all over the news about a young little girl who was "missing" but everyone suspected the worst (which ended up being true). While I was fixing dinner the news came on, and Ava saw a picture of the little girl (when she was living and happy). Ava said "That's my friend on TV!" I looked over the kitchen counter and saw what she was referring to, and I asked her what she was talking about. She said "That's my friend. I met her last night. She came in my window (2nd floor) and we talked for a long time. She's nice. She's my friend."WHAT! Ok, who's freaked? Me!Now it's your turn!

You can spend many happy hours, even days, skiing the terrain that stares you in the face.

There is plenty of terrain for rippers and families alike - 3600 acres to be exact. Let the tour begin.

A few months have passed since I posted a blog about travel, or about anything not related to my recently released books (You've heard, right? Check out the links in the left sidebar.). A few things have changed in these months — I moved back to Texas, I got engaged, I got married, I became a step-mom, I moved again. Life is busy. Life is wonderful.
Last weekend was my first camping trip with my new family — my husband and four step-sons (ages 5, 7, 9, and 12). I'm so very outnumbered, but in general the boys do a good job of reminding each other to speak differently and keep the body noises to a minimum in the presence of a lady. We received lots of fun camping gear as wedding presents, and all six of us were excited to venture out on our first trip now that the weather is turning warmer.
In the past few years I've become accustomed to camping with a few friends or by myself, so it was a challenge to me to come up with all the food for six people for the weekend and make sure we didn't forget anything important for meal preparation. I'm ok by myself winging it with peanut butter and honey sandwiches all weekend — I knew the boys, however, would not be satisfied with such little sustenance and variety. I planned and packed accordingly, and the boys ate like they were starving all weekend (heaven help us during the teen years). Of course, I had more than one cup of coffee from my trusty percolator during the weekend.
This was my third camping trip in a row on the first weekend of April. Two years ago my sister, brother-in-law, and I took my niece camping on spring break/Easter in the mountains of North Carolina. Last year my friend Jen and I went camping on Easter/my birthday in the Columbia River Gorge and the Oregon Coast. And this year, I decided that three years in a row means it's now a tradition. From here out, our family will make every attempt to go camping on the first weekend of April/Easter/my birthday. It's the beginning of a family tradition, and a very good tradition indeed.
It was also our first trip with the boys where we used our new Texas State Parks annual pass. The past two years I've made good use of a National Parks annual pass. On our honeymoon Stephen and I phased out the National Parks pass a few days before it expired, and we purchased a State Parks pass to use over this year with the boys. So far we've visited (either as a couple or with the boys) Dinosaur Valley State Park, Monahans Sandhills, Davis Mountains, and now we've camped at Cleburne State Park. The boys enjoyed running around in the wilderness, climbing trees, playing in the dirt and the rocks — we didn't even have time to take them to the lake this weekend at Cleburne, but they had a blast. With it being only 45 minutes from our house, I'm sure this will be a favorite camping spot for years to come.
Here's to a new family tradition and the years to come!

March 24 |
In 1746, on this day George Talbot the Capitaine de frigate of Le Prince Charles Stuart managed to throw off pursuit from the HMS Sheerness assuring the safe delivery of £13,000 in gold, arms and other supplies to the Jacobite Army in Inverness.
Happy Endings Part 2
The Lad that's Born to be KingTheir second rebellion was approaching a bloody climax during that fateful spring. Still undefeated in the field, the Jacobite Army was a menace north of the border, but since the retreat from Derby, no longer threatening to restore the exiled Stuart Line by regaining the stolen crown for Bonnie Prince Charlie. With his funds dwindling fast and the British Army hard on his heels his "Forty-Five" rebellion would have been doomed without the French gold.
Instead, the rebellion played out onto the Autumn. This later climax on more honourable terms subsequently encouraged another set of revolutionaries of the "Seventy-Five" to invite him to become their "King of the Americas". Which was by no means to understate the pivotal role of the Hard Woman his wife, the incomparable Highland rebel Flora MacDonald.
This ending is a gender reversal of the Jackie Rose novel Hard Man which focuses on Captain Francis O'Neill and is available for download at the Extasy Books web site..

I don't root for U of M too often, but it would be great to see them knock off #1 Kansas today!! Go Wolverines. MSU plays IPFW today. I was like, wtf??? IPFW I see is Indiana-Purdue-Fort Wayne. Next game is #2 Texas.
The Michigan-Kansas match was supposed to be a great match up for ESPN when the TV schedule was set up a couple of months ago, but the 5-4 Wolverines had relied to much on the three ball and it has been their downfall. If Michigan falls behind by more than 10, expect them to toss up 30 three point shots. Michigan big man Sims will need to stay down low and not get happy shooting the three like Zach Novak who pulls on the trigger on a three without looking at an open team mate. Michigan as a team shoots poorly...they need to wake up this morning. The game is currently on ESPN and a win by Michigan will put them back in the national dance picture. Kansas big man Cole Aldrich is already thinking about leaving school if the Jayhawks win the whole thing, so could be someone Joe will be looking at depending on where we fall in the draft. Go Wolverines!!!
Congrats to MSU..probably a little tighter in the first half then they would like leading by only 7, but the 12th rank Spartans took care of business in the second half with a 80-58 victory to improve their record to 9-2. Michigan's defense actually held the hi scoring Jayhawks to only 75 points, but as usual relied to much on the three ball when guys were open near the hoop and they opted to pass out for a three because a man was open out there too. They fell short of my predicted 30+ three ball attempts, but were close as they were a cold 5-28 shooting from beyond the arc. With the final score 75-64, you have to think what if they had hit 5 more of those threes that would have possibly changed the outcome of the game or if they had opted to only take 20 three pointers and the other 8 shots would have been higher percentage layups or short jumpers that would have made the game closer with the Wolves even getting more to the line to cash in. I think the announcer Jay Bilas made a comment that Wolverine big man Dashawn Sims had only gone to the line 5 times in the past three games???? The guy was great around the hoop last year, but now avoids it and the 5-5 Wolverines are suffering because as long as he is not aggressive, Novak and Douglas will continue to toss up threes with reckless abandon...
Nice comeback win by Michigan tonight as they beat the Nittany Lions in Happy Valley after trailing at halftime 31-16. Michigan outscored the Lions 48-24 in the second half to win the game 64-55. Michigan which suffers from the same issues that the Pistons have with a 2 guard trying to run the offense, looked awful the first half and missed all 10 of their three point attempts and had at least 8 TO's. The second half they were able to crack the zone defense for some ez buckets by Deshawn Sims and they went 7-14 from beyond the three point line to close the game on a 38-13 run over the last 11 minutes of the game. Michigan improves it record to 8-6 and 2-1 in the big 10 conference race. In other Wolverine news, 6-5 guard Jordan Dumars has enrolled at Michigan and will be a preferred walk on candidate for next season. (he wanted to be close to mom and dad)
Must have been some serious coaching going on at halftime. The Wolverines were an entirely different team in the 2nd half.
Michigan blows a 17 point lead to Northwestern as they allowed NBA referee Danny Crawford's son, Drew to score 11 straight pts in the closing minutes of the first half and 25 total to defeat the Wolverines at home 68-62. Crawford a freshman hit 5 three pointers as the Wolves got beat by their own game as the Wildcats hit 11 three balls overall. Michigan didn't help themselves with numerous TO's to allow the Cats to get back in the game in the first half and then three miscues in the last 2 mins when they had a chance to win the game. Bad loss for the Wolverines who are now 8-7 and 2-2 in the big 10 with a heavy schedule of ranked opponents coming up with UConn, Michigan State and Purdue. This was almost a complete reversal of their win vs Penn State on Thursday.
Would be nice as his three point accuracy was on point, but Danny Crawford would never be able to ref his sons games...but the other refs might give hm a few calls just further his career along as a favor to dad..
8th ranked Michigan State survives a defensive struggle with Minnesota and wins 60-53 to remain undefeated in the Big 10 at 4-0 and they improve their over all record to 14-3. The Gophers are now 3-2 and 12-5 over all with the loss. MSU's Dremond Green had three blocks and three steals including one each in the last minute to secure the victory. It was a poor shooting night Kalin Lucas (3-15) , but he led the team with 14 pts and 6 assists. This was also Izzo's 350th win with MSU
Not sure how may of you witnessed tonights game on ESPN between Michigan and Indiana, but what you would have seen was possibly the worst 25 minutes of basketball in awhile. The two teams had 21 TO's between them to close the first half as Michigan held a 27-21 lead at halftime. It was one of those games where if either team had been just playing halfway decent, they would have been up 20 at the half. The Wolverines woke up with about 15 minutes left in the game as the Big 10's leading scorer Manny Harris finally got his act together and Wolverines blew open the game and went on to win 69-45. The two teams finished with 35 TO's as there was a lot of sloppy ball being played. ESPN spotted Joe Dumars son Jordan sitting at the end of the Wolverine bench in street clothes as he cannot suit up until next season. Michigan was a 14 pt favorite and won by 24. Their big 10 conference record is now 3-2 and they are 9-7 over all.
#15 (U Conn), #13 (Wisc) , #6 (Purdue), and #7 (Sparty). Yikes. U of M's next four games are going to be potential killers. I don't think any are MUST wins, per se, but a victory or two would go a long way toward getting them in the March tourney.
Didn't like the ruffled shirts that Clarence the angel wore. Guy looked like he shoulda been makin Keebler cookies.
yeah with 7 losses already...they will need to win at least the Spartan and Boilermaker game IMO to get in the big dance and also keep the total losses at 11 and below.... But's let see how they do out of cnference today with UCONN starting on CBS right now!!! hmm opposite the struggling RedWings on NBC....
Uconn shouldn't have been ranked 15. They're now 11-6 on a 3 game losing streak. Why did UM fans storm the court? From the looks of it you'd think they just won the NIT Championship LOL!
Nice win the Wolverines, but blew an 11 point lead as they could not get inside without a basketball being blocked and resulted in a lot of jumpers. But some scrappy defense in crunch time broke up a tie game and the Wolverines made their FT's a pulled out a 68-63 win over the 15 ranked Huskies. Wolverines are now 10-7. Oh by the way, the Wings lost in a shoot out on NBC
