In today's data-center protection world, nothing is more confusing or nebulous than phrases that mention "complete backup solution". A complete backup solution could be defined as any product that just gets your data off to tape or disk, period. Nobody ever said "restore" (sorry TSM), let alone other necessary functionalities. But as we know, there are plenty of other aspects and features that define a comprehensive data protection solution, so how do we determine which vendors have the best strategy to provide the customer a proven product that differentiates themselves from the others?
There are two schools of thought here:
Attached is the powerpoint for my presentation on setting up [SNMP] alerts within OpsCenter and VOM. This covers most of setting up OpsCenter alerts (7.1), some SNMP example setups, and Veritas OpsManager alerting. It also covers some differences between how Command Central alerts, VOM, and...
Recently, I replied to a question regarding OpsCenter reporting. I find OpsCenter rather intuitive and easy to use, but I've dealt with a lot of similar stuff for several years, so I can understand how someone new to it might need a short guide/tour. I'm going to post a simple 'how-to' in creating simple alerting similar to output of the Activity Monitor (or bpdbjobs).
Within OpsCenter, the Report Template I get the most out of is the "Tabular Backup Report." This report gives me a lot of fields and a lot of fields to filter by. To get to this report, you can click on:
Reports (Tab) -> Report Templates -> Backup -> Job Browser -> Tabular Backup Report.
The Tabular Backup Report gives the following columns: Client Name, Job Duration (sec), Job End Time, Expiration Time, Job File Count, Throughput (in KB/s), Job Primary ID, Job Secondary ID, Schedule/Level Type, Master Server, Media Server, Policy Name...
One of the challenges of administrators is gathering statistics and notifications. Symantec provides a lot of great resources to help manage events and notifications. I'm able to set up traps from my OpsCenter server to go to my Veritas Operations Manager, where I can create custom notifications for certain events. In Command Central, I can also create notifications. Additionally, I can also create notifications for the same system services that are tied in with Command Central within VOM. Within VOM, I can create notifcations and send notices to other Symantec systems to handle those. It seems, though, that VOM is my centralized server for handling events.
But I don't just have my Symantec services; I also have an F5 Big-IP load balancer, Solaris systems with ASR and consoles that complain about hardware. With all these events, there has to be a way to handle notifications so that I don't have to log...
If you're like me, you're in a company that's understaffed and overworked.
If you're like me, you don't like to do more than 3 steps to do something that you have to do repeatedly.
If you're like me, you have a large group of tapes that have been ejected from your library and fallen down the wayside.
If you're like me, you prefer to have a browser way of doing things, but still want to do it from the command-line.
If you're like me, you've tried a "lost media" report and found tapes that were in ScratchPool, but not on that list.
Well, your'e probably not as bad as I am when it comes to changing tapes; I really hate doing them, but it's a necessary evil if you're using tapes. What I end up with is several containers of tapes that were vaulted and not put into proper containers. I can easily go through them and look up each tape to see if it's expired, or I can generate a...
For all of you out there frustrated with the lengthy documentation and the numerous issues that can pop up when installing the fancy-shmanzy OpsCenter, fear no more my children! Help is here...
First of all, I wholeheartedly recommend installing at least 7.1 and it's associated patch. Here's where you can download it all:
What you need to know:
1. if you have a master server that runs 6.5.x you will definitely need to configure an Agent, for data collection. If your master is running NetBackup 7.x you should be fine without any Agent configuration.
2. you will need a Windows host where OpsCenter will be installed (preferably NOT the master, if the master is running on Windows). This host needs to be a client of the master, so it needs to be able to communicate beyond firewalls with the master. I'll explain this a bit...
Symantec is on the verge of launching two of the biggest product releases for Backups.
The goal: To make backups faster and easier than ever before.
Learn more here: http://www.betterbackupforall.com
Why Roseville?
We started the NetBackup and Backup Exec launch sequence this week with the release of the Countdown to Better Backup Calendar. This was modeled after the idea of an Advent Calendar. Every few days we will open a new window to reveal a new feature of the launch calendar leading up to the product launch. As part of the launch effort each square on the calendar will open in a different city worldwide. This helps us reach our customers and partners in cities around the world and it gives us a chance to bring together all the people who have worked on the release.
Often in marketing it is hard to deliver technical information to the end customers. Everyone is busy, and there is so much noise online it is hard for product announcements to reach customers. One just needs to post a question on LinkedIn asking...
IDC approached Symantec, unsolicited, for a briefing on V-Ray. They were looking to create an Insight Report for their customers as they had so many inquiries around V-Ray. You'll find this to be a very comprehensive and technical write up that shows NetBackup's leadership in virtual machine protection with VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V.

Beginning plans to remodel our guest bathroom. Its fairly small, only about 8'x10'. Wife wants a faucet with separate handles (she doesnt like cleaning the nooks and crannies of a centerset).
Would an 8" widespread look funny in a small bathroom? Sure Ive seen them all installed at Home Depot, Lowes, etc but my bathroom isnt a warehouse so I cant get an exact feel for how it would look. We would be getting a new sink also, so I would just get one that is compatible with a widespread faucet.
FWIW there is a 30" wide vanity installed currently, to get an idea of size. We would go with that same size just to keep the room as open as possible.
Thanks in advance.
An 8'x10' bathroom is hardly small. It'll look fine; I've had them in 5x8 bathrooms before. Besides, I thought most three hole centersput widespreads could be set up as narrow as 6-inch center to center for the handles.Would an 8" widespread look funny in a small bathroom?

Standard busy beaver function draws attention to final count of nonzero symbols on tape. We could instead look at largest amount of nonzero symbols appearing on tape at any point of computation. This function's lower bound would be $\Sigma(n)$ and upper bound would be $S(n)$ (max shifts function). Was there made any research on such functions? If so, are there any known values for this?
Take the 2-minute tour
Computer Science Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, researchers and practitioners of computer science. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Suppose there is a machine using $n$ states which, at some point, has $X$ nonzero symbols on the tape. One can build a machine with $O(n)$ states which simulates a run of the original machine with a tape alphabet of three symbols $\{0,1,2\}$, with the following small change: whenever the original machine changes $1$ to $0$, the new machine changes it to $2$; whenever the tape is read, $2$ is interpreted as $0$. The new machine ends up with $Y \in [X,2X]$ nonzero symbols on the tape (we get $\Theta(X)$ instead of $X$ since the simulation requires using two symbols for each original symbol). So your new function, let's call it $F(n)$, satisfies $B(n) \leq F(n) \leq B(O(n))$. |

Trade Dynamics in the Euro Area: The role of export destination and composition
We investigate to what extent the destination of exports and export composition affect the export performance of euro area countries, using a dataset on exports from euro area countries to their top 20 trade partners for the period 1980-2010. Our analysis shows that European integration has not led to an increase in the share of the core and the northern periphery in the exports of the southern periphery. Our results suggest that a higher share of high tech exports in total exports leads to a higher growth of total exports. Export composition also conditions the effects of the real exchange rate and partner income growth. The effect of the real exchange rate on export growth becomes smaller the higher the share of high tech exports in total exports. The effect of partner income on export growth becomes larger the higher the share of high tech exports in total exports.Download Info

This playset is an accessory for the Fiasco role-playing game.
It's the autumn of '77 in Germany and stories of kidnap, murder, and hijacking are front page news. A disparate group of avant-garde academics, youthful political activists, and workers at the end of their tether plot to make the world sit up and take notice. This Baadar Meinhof Complex-inspired Playset is the result of a collaboration between Malcolm Craig and Per Fischer. It provides a very insular focus on the dubious workings and interactions of people desperate to make the world a better place.

Law faculty welcomes students from Indian university
The exchange agreement between Queen's Faculty of Law and Jindal Global Law School in Delhi continues to flourish with the recent arrival of four students from India on the Kingston campus.
"I was keen to get an international experience. I was attracted to Queen's because of the subjects offered and the profile of the professors," says Vivek Yavagal, who is enrolled in the LLB. program at Jindal.
Mr. Yavagal is joined at Queen's during the fall term by fellow Jindal students Anusha Malik, Shipra Jain and Sharad Jain.
"Studying at Queen's will provide me with an opportunity to compare the legal systems of Canada and India. It will also allow me to study interesting subjects like international economic law, information privacy and others," says Ms Malik.
Queen's Law was among one of the first law schools in the world to partner with Jindal, which is aiming to become India's first global law school of international rank.
"The exchange offers wonderful opportunities to students from both schools. Our agreement with Jindal adds to the growing list of student exchanges that Queen's Law has with leading law schools around the world," says Queen's Law dean Bill Flanagan.
Ms Malik echoes Dean Flanagan, noting that she expects the students from India to have an impact on Queen's students.
"They will be able to learn more about India. By sharing our different experiences, we will all have a new perspective," she says.
Mr. Yavagal is the second student to receive the Robert Wallace Best Exchange Award, a bursary established by Queen's alumnus Andrew Best, Law '81, in honour of his father, who earned a bachelor of science degree from Queen's in 1950. Neelam Singh, who came to Queen's Law on exchange from Jindal last winter, was the first recipient of the exchange bursary.
"The award means a lot to me because it allows me to experience Queen's and Canada with a lesser financial burden. Without this award, it would be very hard for me to manage this visit to Queen's," says Mr. Yavagal.
As part of the exchange agreement, Jindal students can also attend the Global Law Programs at the Bader International Study Centre. The first Jindal student visited Herstmonceux Castle last spring.
Four Queen's Law students travelled to India this fall, and a fifth Queen's student will visit Jindal in the winter term.

Season three American Idol alum Jennifer Hudson has certainly had her share of success since she finished seventh in the Fox singing competition, but she thinks the show that gave many singers their starts in the entertainment business should pack it in while its still relevant.

"Everything has its time," said the Dreamgirls star, who said she still has a soft spot for the show that first introduced her to the public.
"American Idol has changed the face of television," she said. "So, not everyone can say that. And it's always been a phenomenon. I'm proud to have come from American Idol, so I just say, go out on top."

James gets started by removing the old exhaust system, which necessitated removing the gas tank, as well. We could've removed the exhaust by loosening the shocks and removing the rear springs. However, our Bullitt needed a new fuel-filler seal since it was causing an error code and Check Engine light. James would kill two birds with one stone by removing the gas tank. Doing so made it a lot easier to remove and install the tailpipes, and we'd get a new filler neck seal installed at the same time. It was a win-win. Here he lines up both front sections of the X-shape crossover pipe, loosely attaching them to the factory exhaust manifolds.

Brickbat: Neutering the Sheepdogs
threatening to shoot him when the three grabbed him and took the gun away. A local TV station reports they were given an emergency suspension of three days because they were part of an "incident" with a gun.
Officials at Florida's Cypress Lake High School suspended three students who wrestled a loaded gun away from another student. The student with the gun was pointing it at a student andEditor's Note: We invite comments and request that they be civil and on-topic. We do not moderate or assume any responsibility for comments, which are owned by the readers who post them. Comments do not represent the views of Reason.com or Reason Foundation. We reserve the right to delete any comment for any reason at any time. Report abuses.
The title reflects an entirely correct observation. We've allowed ourselves to become a nation of sheep vaginas ruled by a clique of arrogant and overbearing wolves. Well, folks really do get the governments they deserve. All the reason we should need to pull back from meddling with everyone else's regimes so we can concentrate on fixing our own. (by 'fixing' I mean neutering, of course)
I went to high school in the late 70's and hated every minute of it. Academics was not the first priority, even back then. It was all about forcing conformity and obedience on kids.
Sheep vaginas indeed.
I went to high scholl during the same time, and while you are correct, it was not nearly as bad as it is now.
True, I cant imagine that if this had happened when I was there that it would have turned out like this. We would have been given medals.
Still, see Cyto's comment downthread. Morons have always been with us.
This is the greatest idiocy yet to come from our school officials, and very likely it cannot be topped. However, I am certain that school officials elsewhere will try.
It can't be topped? I'll give it 2 months.
Just like paid leave except for the paid part.
HEY! You need to just cringe and get shot like all the other good little sheep! It's not your job to fight back!
if they had been shot they would also have been part of incident with a gun and suspended, presumably
Perhaps they are being punished for preventing another excuse to call for more gun control?
This is EXACTLY why he was suspended.
He kept the literati from having another body to throw atop their pile of dead in order to keep the gun control argument going.
An RG-14....that is the same model Hinkley used to shoot Reagan. It is super junk....you can never be sure if the damn thing is going to fire or not. Sadly, Hinkley's did work.
What is it with high profile assassins and crappy guns? Oswald and his Carcano, Sirhan's Iver Johnson cadet,
Hinkley and his RG-14. There have been a few decent firearms used, but mostly they use what I would consider a wall-hanger or a boat anchor. -
I wouldn't mar my wall or poison the water with an RG product. Saw an RG (don't remember the model number) .38spl that had cracked the cylinder firing low velocity wadcutters.
While this is about as ridiculous as a situation is going to get, it is not without precedent. School people are just... well, weird.
When I was in college way back in the 80's we had an "incident" during an intramural basketball game. A couple of guys got into it on the court. Everyone who was on the court at the time was suspended from all intramural sports for the rest of the year. Everyone who left the bench was suspended for the rest of the year - it is against the rules to leave the bench, even if you are breaking up the fight. And (this is the real kicker), everyone who stayed on the bench was suspended.... because "it is not OK to just sit there and do nothing when a fight breaks out. You have a responsibility to try to stop it."
I missed that game due to a lab section - so I just got a reprimand letter. I always thought this was an excellent example of our future government leaders in action. History has proven me out on that one, I'm afraid.
Wow. I hope you framed that letter of reprimand and have it hanging on your wall.
I missed that game due to a lab section - so I just got a reprimand letter.
Holy shit. Future government leaders indeed.
He should have been there meeting his commitments.
So, the pinheads in charge want everyone to just cower in terror at the sight of a gun, and will punish anyone who acts to protect themselves and others?
The real story here is the rampant incompetence of school officials all over the country.
Remember kids: Only Law Enforcement Officers and Soldiers are allowed to be heroes. Everyone else must be meek and dependent.
Guys, guys. You're blaming the wrong thing. Its probably just district policy that everyone "involved" in an incident involving a firearm be suspended under zero tolerance rules. So really, it isn't the principal's fault at all. We should take our torches and pitchforks to the school board, instead.
Lord knows they know me down at the school board.
The "involvement" thing makes perfect sense if you think of this as kind of a primitive religious ritual. See, the gun is taboo and unclean. Anyone who has come into contact with it in any way is now himself unclean, and must be purified through ritual punishment. This means the school board is somewhat less sophisticated than your average tribe of illiterate savages...which should surprise nobody.
I made a similar analysis yesterday. It's a matter of ritual purity, prompted by a disgust reaction such as analyzed by Jonathan Haidt, except Haidt attributes this sort of thing to conservatives.
this has "procedures were followed" all over it. These are the same school folks who treat nail clippers like Uzis and Tylenol like crack. Zero tolerance pretty much ensures zero common sense.
However, a part of me thinks officials are pissed the kid acted because his preventing a bloody aftermath also prevented an excuse for expanding their authority.
However, a part of me thinks officials are pissed the kid acted because his preventing a bloody aftermath also prevented an excuse for expanding their authority.
I wouldn't go that far. The officials are just pissed that the kids undermined their current authority. They know expanding their authority is easy enough to do without anyone getting killed.
Right and "I was just following orders" is an acceptable excuse for any act no matter how stupid.
That's why we have so many orders (laws) nowadays. No one can be punished for following orders and the orders are handed down by society at large via democracy. It's the ultimate 'mea innocentia'.
Last year my stepson was "involved" in a fight. Rather he pushed away some kid who was trying to punch him in the head. So the school suspended him for three days.
Lesson learned: If you want to get someone suspended, go punch them in the head. -
That one has been around for decades. Fortunately, most bullies don't seem to realize the power this gives them over their victims.
I had something like that happen to be when I was in 7th grade, back in 1985.
I had a similar event in 1st grade. Here I was blocking punches from some (relatively) big 4th grader, and I get in trouble for fighting while he gets of without even being talked to. Long story short, my dad works with a lot of lawyers, and the school got a nice little letter from one of them. The teacher had to go though some "retraining."
According to the mother, the school suspended her son because he refused to cooperate in the investigation. She says he was scared.
Playing Devil's Advocate, perhaps the school "suspended" the kid as an ersatz witness protection program?
They suspended all three kids who took the gun away. I doubt they are all refusing to cooperate, and besides, in a situation this serious it would be the police investigating, not the school. Sounds like BS from school admins to me.
I assumed they meant the kid wasn't cooperating in the police investigation.
Wouldn't he be in trouble with the cops then, not the police?
*not the school.
It's early.
Wouldn't he be in trouble with the cops then, not the police?
Maybe you're just distinguishing between the official face of law enforcement and the unofficial face.
Break a law? In trouble with the police.
Disrespect the police? In trouble with the cops. Stop resisting!
Yes... my addled morning brain has just uncovered a great truth! Now it all becomes clear.
And I thought my 8:14 AM post below was muddled.
It makes sense if you don't think about it.
Wouldn't he be in trouble with the cops then, not the [school]?
He could be in trouble with both; I'm sure the investigation is being conducted by the School Resource Officer.
The State has many faces.
Good point.
"School Resource Officer" is another term I hate, because it's one of those terms that seems deliberately designed to make it unclear to the average person what somebody with that title does. It's even worse when schools start using the acronyms, like SRO.
My mother was a teacher's aide for the slow kids, but her official title was "paraprofessional". I could never get anybody to explain to me the difference beteen a paraprofeesional and a paraamateur.
Even worse, though, was that the union referred to people like my mother as "SRPs" -- for "school-related personnel".
My mother was a teacher's aide for the slow kids, but her official title was "paraprofessional". I could never get anybody to explain to me the difference beteen a paraprofeesional and a paraamateur
The prefix "para-" means "next to". A paramedic works "next to" a doctor. A paraprofessional works next to a "licensed professional".
A paraprofessional is someone that does the work of a professional in the same industry, but gets paid far less because of lack of (mostly) meaningless credentials. It's adapted from "paralegal" but the line between a paralegal and a lawyer is often more sharp.
Does that mean a parapsychologist is someone who does the same thing as a psychologist?
The kid was suspended for making the cops look bad. He did something, while at a school shooting the cops just surround the place waiting for the shooter to commit suicide.
while at a school shooting the cops just surround the place waiting for the shooter to commit suicide.
Shouldn't they at least be looking for puppies to shoot?
Yes, we are certainly freer today than a couple of decades ago.
Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you're told.
Get out of the road if you want to grow old.
But then again, with the dogs all dead, we sheeple can blissfully tune into mindless retard-reality TV, drink our sugar water, cash our government checks and vote for our masters every couple of years. -
Ther eis a dude that really knwos whats going on . Wow.
But does he make $7136 a month staying home on the internet?
Not him but his mother does.
If I were one of the three kids, I'd respond that when next time somebody holding a gun to an administrator's head, I'd let them shoot, since I wouldn't feel like getting suspended again.
Analyzing facts is hard.
My wife used to teach at that school about 15 years ago. It has become considerably more urbanized since then, except for the arts magnet part, which is basically on a separate campus.
How dare those kids attempt to act for themselves? They have no special training, no certificates of proficiency, no state sanction for the use of force. What if the gun had gone off? Those kids would have been just as guilty as Adam Lanza.
I ran across this story on Fark; the funniest bit was reading the comments in the local paper. Apparently the whole scenario was staged and is part of Obama's plan to take away everyone's guns. We're talking about levels of paranoia and conspiracy-theorizing that makes Mike Adams look stable.

We are supposed to leave next Wed for a 6 day trip across the state. It's a 400 mile all day drive because of the rural roads. DH is supposed to work up there Thursday a couple of exits away from our hotel, I will have to drop him off and pick him up. I have a work related conference all day Friday. DH has to work another 6 hours on Saturday and then the rest of the that day and Sunday is family time. Monday is driving back. I'm starting to think this is going to be impossible to pull off.
Dominic is better then he used to be, he isn't screaming for hours and hours but there is still a fair amount of crying involved. He had been doing better then this but for the past 10 days or so has been worse again. He screams most of the time in the car but then again DH is never with me so with me in the back it should help some. He screamed for an hour straight last night at dinner and then has random periods through out the day where he cries for 10 minutes and then stops, maybe 4-6 of those usually and that is just when I'm holding him, I'm not including the car.
He can come with me to the conference , but he has to be quiet. Quiet, in-arms, nursing babies are welcome, benefit of working in lactation! It isn't mandatory for my job. I do need the continuing education hours offered and it is rare to be able to get them. We have to stay 20 miles from the conference because we are a family of 6, 2 B suites under $200.00 a night aren't exactly easy to find and are located no where near where it will be held. I'd have to be there before 8am, not exactly fun since DH and the other 3 kids have to drop me off and then come get me at 5.
I know my way around and I'll be fine while DH is working. I've got lots of places to take the kids, natural history museum, children's museum... Sunday I was wanting to take the kids to the zoo and a corn maze. Dh still has to go and work if I back out. When he was screaming last night and I was up at 4am with him screaming for just 5 minutes, I was thinking that isn't going to work in a huge hotel. DH and DD1 are going back in another 4 weeks but the rest of us can not go then because she has a 2 day dance convention in a non convenient part of town (like my conference!) and she has to stay at a certain hotel for ease of breaks during the convention and we can't all stay there. He is just going to drive her up, and work while she dances if I can find a mom that will watch her during breaks.This trip was perfect because next week is a 4 day weekend off of school for the girls so we were only going to have to pull them out 2 days. She will miss another 2 days for the next trip and several more coming up this winter because of 2 dance competitions and then if she decides to compete at other resorts this winter besides our own (snowboarding team), then that is more.
I'm thinking I should just cancel, but I don't want to. Everything is arranged, pet caretaker, sitter has the week off, all kid's therapists. We only go up there once a year now, at the same time every year because my conference is always then. I missed last year because I drove all the way up, alone, with sick kids and then DH refused to watch them (he was already up there working) because they were all sick. He had some work disaster going on at the same time, as usual, there is ALWAYS a disaster. Hence the reason I really need my ed hours. We live very rurally, it is my once a year chance to go to a real mall, take the kids to a zoo, do all the city stuff that we don't have. If he just would stop screaming then this wouldn't be an issue.

12oz bottle into a snifter. The brew appears a pale golden orange color with a yellow clarity seen around the edges. A white frothy topping fades leaving spotty lace.
The smell is sweet and fruity almost like orange rind overtop a caramel/toffee base of grain sweetness and freshness.
The taste is also sweet almost like candy with an herbal hop flavor blending to fruit and alcohol. A soft amount of herbal hop bitterness lingers into the finish.
This is a pretty classic medium body with modest amount of carbonation. Somewhat crisp but that candy-like sweetness could be tamed down a bit to make it overall more enjoyable.

With the common "American-ized" taste of festbier, Blue Point's Oktoberfest provides a dry caramel character with those toasty and lightly floral inspirations from those special Bavarian lagers.
The Oktoberfest bier opens with a bright golden, light amber appearance that sparkles with its filtered clarity. Its generous carbonation races to the top to fuel a cottony white cap with semi-stern retention and mild lace.
Its bright aromas are juicy with plump barley for a semi-sweet, partly grainy scent. With elements of bread crust, light toast and mild yeast, its light huskiness is also met with faint caramel and honey. Its floral tone is delicately perfumy with those late addition noble European hops.
Its grainy-sweet taste goes from bread to pecan to caramel as the the taste moves from initial palate to the middle. As its floral upstart develops into a mild spicy-type bitterness it shows light grass and mint. A slight mineral taste adds crispness to the taste, particularly in finish as the light hop showing is complemented with a hint of chalk.
Its easy-drinking character starts with mild residual sweetness that soon whisps away, leaving a light husky, grainy texture behind. As the minty alcohol, hop dryness and snappy mineral feel sums up its finish, the ale leaves the palate semi-clean and pleasantly refreshed.
Where the beer's caramel flavor pushes it slightly outside of its style parameters, it begins to resemble an Amber Ale as much as it does Oktoberfest. But even with its American liberties, the beer is pleasant and humble.

12 oz bottle, poured into a pint glass
Appearance: Pours a pretty, clear, lighter golden color with a quarter of a finger of white head that quickly dissolved into a very thin halo of foam that gripped the sides of the glass and formed a few wispy clouds that collected in the center of the top of the beer.
Aroma: Like most Oktoberfest beers, it is very malty and bready, with notes of freshly baked bread or pretzels, and some notes of caramel, black pepper and clover.
Taste: Very similar to the aroma, lots of bready malt up front, followed by some caramel-like sweetness and nicely rounded out by some wonderfully balanced hoppy bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium with some good carbonation to tickle the taste buds. With an ABV of only 5.5% there is no alcohol presence on the palate
Overall: This is another very solid American example of an Oktoberfest beer. Nicely balanced, extremely quaffable. I liked it a lot, and I'll certainly add it to my Oktoberfest rotation.

Mixed Messages
Even as a private in the United States Marine Corps, I began to question the reasons that compels my country to send its young men, including myself, to risk life and limb in a needless conflict.
In October 3, 2007, I asked of these mixed messages:
Why do we expect trained killers, like myself, to enforce peace with the barrel of a gun pointed at those we claim to be fighting for?
The monster that is Saddam Hussein, the product of our interventionist policies, has been toppled and captured. Yet we insist in "staying the course." How much longer?
It is troubling: that nearly four years later I find myself still asking these questions of not only Iraq, but Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and now Libya as well (not to mention our covert wars in over 120 countries);
That I am asking these questions under a Nobel Peace Prize-winning president who promised to end the war in Iraq;
That we are extending our presence in a "pacified Iraq" nearly a year after the war "ended" there;
That we are "withdrawing" from Afghanistan with an increase in troops;
That we are liberating Libya with bombs and leading the deposal of its dictator without ever being at war with them;
That our interventionist actions in Libya, which so mirrors that of our actions in Iran half a century ago, is being touted as a success and a new era of foreign policy;
And that we are providing material support to the very same Islamists we are fighting against in Iraq and Afghanistan.
When confronted with these contradictions, it would be a mistake to conclude (as I did) that the message had been rendered obscure. That the lofty rhetoric of peace and liberty were merely lost in war's misguidance. It is now clear that the message was never mixed, but had always been a travesty of the bloodstained truth: we must suffer perpetual war.

Lord Jesus,
they are persecuting us because they persecuted you first,
but you commanded that we love them even though they hate us.
I cry out to your for their conversion.
I pray that that they might see you in us and believe.
I pray that the blood of the martyrs pay the price for their conversion, so that their death will have eternal value.
Lord Jesus, you said that whatsoever was done to the least of your children was also done to you. But when you were on the Cross you prayed for those who were killing you and lying about you.
I pray that you now have mercy on those who are doing the same to the least of your children, so that they might experience your love and peace as I do.
Have mercy on us all. Amen.

A Twinkle in their Eyes
Anna G. Edmonds
Was it a twinkle in their eyes eleven years ago? Of a hoped-for offspring, a star, a dream, or all of these? Knowing the sparks of imagination that were touched off whenever John Rudolph, Ed Ritchie, and Mac Gardiner met together, probably the twinkle was a mixture of all, compounded with a liberal gleaming of excitement. Out of a breakfast meeting in November 1993 of these three founders, the Battle Point Astronomical Association came into being. Battle Point Park was an appropriate place for BPAA activities for several reasons. The lighting within the park could be controlled. By its very nature, amateur astronomy, needing quiet and darkness, was unobtrusive.
The Helix House (now the Edwin E. Ritchie Observatory) was a solid building; it provided a good base for a large telescope mounting, and could be made secure from casual vandalism. In addition to those features, the roof of the Observatory provided a 360° view of the sky.
John Rudolph in the Dome. photo by Greg Gilbert, courtesy The Seattle Times.
Besides the litter from years of disuse, two large cement blocks in the center of the building had to be removed with the help of 56 sticks of dynamite and hours of jack hammer labor. In their place a column reaching from rock bottom to the roof but totally free of the building was constructed to support the telescope. Then the dome was made, rib by rib, secured to a revolving ring, and covered with waterproofing. The building, thanks to John Rudolph's architectural skills, now accommodates meeting rooms, a workshop, and a basic astronomical instrument. This instrument comprises three holes in the walls that focus so that the image of the Sun appears on the north wall of the meeting room during the winter solstice. Its only required maintenance is clearing out cobwebs in the holes; thus it's in keeping with John's devotion to archaeoastronomy as he studied it in places like Susanville, CA.
John was meticulous in reporting the names and contributions of those who helped with the construction of the Observatory and its dome. They, plus the many groups who have used the Observatory and the many speakers who have given their time over the years, have been reported in the bi-monthly BPAA Newsletter. Likewise, the early donors' names are on plaques in the entrance to the building. Ed Ritchie was the telescope builder; he wrote in the November 1994 Newsletter: "After seventy-one years of being free to discover and learn about the universe I live in, I can say with certainty one thing. I don't really know a lot about it. I find it beautiful and awesome, but I think I understand little of how it operates. 'In WWII I was a navigator and the stars and the Sun became operating tools for me. Shortly after, I began to study electronics and telescopes. The fascination of these two subjects has never left me. I have built many electronic devices and many telescopes and now have in my back yard a 17 1/2 inch Newtonian refl ector telescope and observatory electronically controlled. Hundreds of moms and dads and kids have looked through its eyepiece. So it's not surprising I'm one of three people instrumental in getting the Battle Point Astronomical Association going."
Five months later, on April 17, 1995, the Boeing Defense and Space Group announced that they had donated two high-quality mirrors to BPAA. These were the glass used by Boeing in the Hubble Mirror. With them in hand, Ed began building the mount, and inventing and crafting the electronic grinding machine in order to shape the 27 1/2 inch mirror to a parabolic surface that would gather and focus starlight through a lens. On December 11, 1997 the telescope was lifted to the roof and settled into place on its support column inside the dome. Regrettably, Ed Ritchie had died before his 'scope was operational.
The third member of the group of founders, Mac Gardiner, had throughout this time kept BPAA focused on the dream of providing an educational facility specializing in astronomy that would encourage people to develop their curiosity. "With the first-class equipment that we have available," he wrote, "we can explore, and 99% of what we hope to be able to see has never been seen before. We also can redo certain wonderful experiments of the past that changed the thinking of the educated world of that time. Mac's dream was that the tools of this facility and the encouragement of its mentors would enable students of all ages to discover, hypothesize, interpret, analyze, generate, review critically, and publish work that could be the stuff of science awards, or the discovery of comets, super novae, and even unforeseen worlds.
In addition to keeping the fledgling Association on an even keel and to challenging others to volunteer their talents, Mac concentrated on establishing a sound financial basis for BPAA. He wanted BPAA to start slowly and to keep within the bounds of what Bainbridge Island would support. Within the first year he secured the tax-free status from the State, and then enrolled BPAA in the yearly Bainbridge Foundation financial drive. The contributions collected by the Foundation, he believed, would enable BPAA to cover its operating expenses so that whatever physical development was needed could be taken care of with specific funding campaigns.
The excitement of that morning breakfast meeting in 1993 resulted in a gift to Bainbridge. It was free in that most of the money and the labor were given without conditions. It is free in that the Observatory is for the use of the public on demand (and on the cooperation of the weather). The continued twinkle of this star—or dream—depends on keeping the night sky around the Observatory dark.

Silly readers, lawmakers expect deferential treatment. They think they're special. From the almost total inability of local police to pull them over or ticket for speeding or DUI to the number of actual hours/days worked in a year, the aides, assistants, staffers to fetch the coffees or arrange the plane tickets and the endless meetings with minions from Fortune 500, power elite groveling at their feet for legislation to protect their interests and so on.
You are sheep, they are the shepherds, and when they create rules, they think not of themselves, but of you.
