No money and no women - what could go wrong? (530 comments)
So with the manual labour jobs being given to robots, and a distinct lack of young women, (thanks to female babies being unwanted) things are certainly looking bright for the tens of millions of young Chinese males.
I'm sure they'll take it philosophically - enormous gangs of angry, sexually frustrated young men usually do.
Re:Nvidia blows too with drivers (158 comments)
A small correction, Nvidia Quadro has not "turned into the Titan". Quadro cards are largely the same hardware as the consumer cards, but with minor changes to enable certain features. The main difference is in the drivers. Consumer drivers err on the side of speed, whereas Quadro drivers will typically have lower performance in a game type situation, but be better suited for CAD / 3D work.
Re:Generalizing about averages is bad science (231 comments)
I agree with you, the variance of the distribution is such to make the difference in mean IQ utterly meaningless on an individual basis. It must be incredibly frustrating to an intelligent black man to have that average working unfairly against him.
If you think that's bad though, imagine a world where it is easy to determine the average IQ of a black man from Baltimore, with a dead father,and who drives a car more than 8 years old. Now imagine coming from such a background, and being a great computer programmer. Now imagine the sinking feeling as you're handed a demographic form upon arriving for an interview for a coding job you could do well.
A life under the tyranny of statistics could be a hard life indeed, if we're not careful.
Re:dont seem to care about (231 comments)
Let me know how the million-webgamer march goes.
Re:What's different? (231 comments)
That's the problem. Modern society has decided to act as if every race is equal, and also decided that for the sake of us all getting along, we won't look too closely at whether this is in fact the case, because history shows that going down that road doesn't tend to end well. So far so good, but what happens when the differences (and there are bound to be some) between various groups can be highlighted by a data-mining algorithm, and are in everyone's face? Answer: Trouble.
Re:In other news... (477 comments)
"France fails at having an Internationally competitive workforce."
Good for them. In the race to the bottom, France's "failure" sounds more fun than being the winner.
Re:And yet they supported Obama (564 comments)
I don't think opinions on this sort of subject are all that amenable to change. Obama looked at the numbers, and said what he thought would help him stay in office.
Pitchforks + torches (1746 comments)
A lot of chest beating going on here, a lot of flexing of consumer muscles, and talk of the righteous boycotting of bigots. From the outside however, it just looks like a pitchfork wielding mob, using coercion to bend a third party to their will.
People don't like seeing coercion, especially by groups who have no accountability to anyone, and I believe that the result of these protests will be a decrease in public's sympathy for equality of rights for gay people.
Zuckerberg diversifying (535 comments)
I think it's likely that Zuckerberg knows that Facebook is preposterously overvalued, that the market will realise this, and is diversifying into some other areas with massive future growth while the going is good. Perhaps they'll create a virtual world communication type thing. I don't think this is too bad a development.
"OMG Your musical instrument Just. Got. Better!" (104 comments)
I suppose some people are so unwilling to take the time to learn, or to do something properly, that there's always a ready market for a stupid device to make it "easier". It doesn't work. What do a load of flashing LEDs, (controlled by a smartphone, what else) add beyond what printed chord charts, or guitar tab provide? It's exactly the same information.
Instead, why not spend that $400 on an acoustic guitar (you can get a really good one for that money), and practice putting your fingers on the right strings and frets, forming the chords, practice picking or strumming, and KEEP DOING IT, again and again, every day until you can form the shapes instantly. Your brain will learn, and your fingers will get sore, but that goes away. It takes time, but at the end you've learned a real skill. Imagine how proud you'll feel, you've got that skill for life - the ability to play songs, entertain friends. It's well worth the effort.
Don't piss about with some gadget that promises to let you skip all the hard work. They don't work, never have and never will.
Re:so painful as it is... (732 comments)
That is *A* solution, but not a very good one. Why don't we reduce the human population to zero, and completely solve the problem?
Re:Warning! - Socialism ahead. (732 comments)
No one has tried such a thing - indeed it wouldn't work today. You missed this section of my post:
"once machines obviate the need for large human organisations, with their attendant inefficiencies"
The time will come when machines can organise things better than people can. That's already the case in some situations, and it will become more and more common (as in the frequently referenced "Manna" story, by Marshall Brain). When this happens, a lot of the population will not be economically useful. As in, way more than half. At the same time, production efficiency will be high enough that they could be supported to an ever higher standard. I'm suggesting that that ought to happen.
Warning! - Socialism ahead. (732 comments)
Historically, technological revolutions have eliminated large categories of jobs. Many manual jobs are now performed by machines, even skilled manual jobs. An economist might say that these former manual workers are now free to retrain, and do other things - (or just grow old and die, and be replaced by youngsters who have never known the old way, and have learnt the right skills to get along in this new world whilst growing up).
The question is, what happens when literally everything of economic value that a person is capable of doing, can be accomplish more efficiently by a machine? More and more resources come under the complete control of fewer and fewer people, and for the rest of the population, what is left?
I believe that once machines obviate the need for large human organisations, with their attendant inefficiencies, a form of democratic socialism will become the preferred way to run society. Resources owned collectively, with broad decisions made democratically, but organisational details left to machines to optimise and execute. People would be provided for, because it is easy to produce enough to do it.
Re: Sure, why not (430 comments)
As you say, headers are useful when using libraries. But why not have the compiler generate the headers itself, or perhaps the library creation utility? IMHO if something is a deterministic one to one copy of something else, then there's no reason to force a human to copy it out by hand.
Re:The writing on the wall (653 comments)
I don't disagree with you that we will ultimately be better off as a society - but to get there, we'll need to rethink some basic tenets of society. Fewer people will be economic contributors. The social safety net, which has steadily expanded over the last hundred years, will need to expand much more. However, hopefully the enhanced production that new technology allows will enable us to afford it.
Re:The writing on the wall (653 comments)
Once they can pass a Turing test, they can do anyone's job. They don't need to be able to do anything close to that in order to render a large swathe of the lesser skilled members of the workforce unemployable.

Re:The writing on the wall (653 comments)
They don't care about being virtuous, I can promise you that. They're angry, and they're jealous. Now I grant you, those aren't particularly admirable emotions, but if people like them stop your corporate bus one day, I don't think sneering will get you very far.
Re:The writing on the wall (653 comments)
But what happens when it transpires that the "labour saving devices" are better than you at literally everything that has economic value? What do you do then?

No series of blog posts, regardless of wittiness, insight and general brilliance, can provide a prescriptive answer about how to protect your VMs. (Of course, if you do find some blog posts with wittiness, insight, and brilliance, please send them; I'd love to see how it's done. Except for Chad's posts. Don't send those.)
The three customer stories in this series demonstrate the disparity I see in our customer base. People are choosing different approaches based on their organization's current challenges – technical, business or organizational. While everybody's road will be different, I do believe the ultimate destination will be a versioned replication solution. Thus, as you plan your approach, I encourage you to explore the trends driving backup and recovery to chart your own course:
- Deduplicated disk remains the first step. It enables you to optimize traditional backups, adopt tools like Avamar, build brute-force versioned replication and evolve to versioned replication solutions, without changing your storage infrastructure.
- Backup and recovery windows will continue to put pressure on data protection solutions. The best way to scale will be versioned replication. You need to decide the layer on which to build the data movement intelligence: backup client, storage, application, or hypervisor. Each layer offers unique characteristics in granularity of management (per-VM, per-app or per-storage container?), flexibility (do I want to lock in on one storage array for both primary and protection storage?) and functionality (how important are traditional backup features?). If you have not considered versioned replication, now is the time. If you have already drawn some conclusions, the optimizations in the VMware and application segment make this an ideal time to explore this area again.
- More administrators – not just backup – will play an active role in protection. Users demand better service and more visibility into their protection schemes, and the only way to meet expectations will be to embrace technical changes like versioned replication. Also, as one company discovered, technical change will depend on organizational change. Backup teams will need to partner with other IT teams (e.g. VM, application, or storage teams) or these teams will find other ways to meet their protection needs. Monolithic backup solutions and teams will not succeed.
Change isn't easy, but it is necessary. When you combine your insight of new technology trends with your users' critical needs – you can lead your organization and deliver value. Or, you can be trampled by the wave of new technology. Server virtualization is leading a new wave of technology for backup and recovery. The choices you make today will define your future. They matter.
As for my daughter (for those of you who have been following this series since the start), she eventually put on a pink dress with black polka dots and reveled in the adoration of the masses: "Oh aren't you just the cutest thing ever?" Clearly, the right choice.

Habits (Stay High)- Tov Lo Cover
I once felt poetry was only for the weary
I felt I was never creative enough to come up with a strand of words that was ever so catchy and ever so sweet
I felt I could never stand in front of a crowd and express how I felt
But when I wrote this small string of words, I was not focusing on just how nicely they melted together or just how wrongly they developed
Instead I focused on letting my pen hit the page and realized a rhythm will follow
And flow
And bring the following words to the page
The thoughts come so fast in my head I simply cannot keep up
And with that I have to switch to my computer
But my fingers can only type so fast
Like my lungs can only breathe so many breaths
And I'm nervous I will selfishly waste them and my thoughts will not be wisely spent
So I fear that this string of words was not nearly as important as the next text I sent: the one that said I love you to that perfectly unselfish boy
And I fear that this string of words was not nearly as thoughtful as the letter that my aunt once wrote: where she said that she never once saw a person merely as strong as my grandfather who had fallen to cancer
And I fear that this string of words was not nearly as urgent as the quick, sharp scratches of the pen against a cheap piece of paper that the homeless man was drawing sketches of horses on to sell in hopes of making enough money to buy himself a hot meal instead of relying on strangers for help
And I fear that this string of words won't be enough to show my gratitude to those all around me. To my family, to my friends and to my future. I hope I can make you proud.
Because I'm starting to worry that I will never work as hard as that homeless man once did, or I will never express my gratitude to family like my aunt once did and I will never know how true those feelings are reflected through that text that I sent.
And I hope I can make you all proud and I hope I can live up to society's standards because what I once thought was right no longer applies and what I once believed in no longer stands planted firmly in place.
And I'll end this here, simply as an, I don't know factor. I don't know where I'll be in 10 years or if I'll be with that first boy who I told that I'd loved or if I'll ever cross paths with that man in South Kensington with the ragged gloves and endless courage or if I'll ever be as remarkable as my aunt.
I find myself focusing in on people and on things that I may never reach. I find my mind wandering at night when it should be resting and should be rejuvenating. I find my feet fidgeting and my fists clenching, trying not to let my fears win. Trying not to let the dryness in my throat take away from how far my voice travels and how my voice can project.
I shouldn't be worrying quite this late, I should be dreaming and following that winding path.
But dreams only last for a night. And a night is shorter than anything I want to experience.
It's unfortunate in that light, the thought that it can come and go so quickly.
A yawn sets in and I'm letting the tired win.
But when I wake what will I remember and what will I see?
I can always dream of others around me- my aunt, my first love, my courageous friend. But when will I actually see them again and feel their touch and shadow their movements. When will it all end and when does it only just begin? I'm nineteen years old and it's so frightening,
Ive lost track of my words and thoughts in my head
Simply because they scare me and I no longer want to dream of my future but simply cherish the moments I have now. We have so little time to enjoy life and enjoy those moments given to us to spend with others.
And with that I leave you to think about the depth of this world and the depth of gratitude I have for all of you whom I've just shared some of my most disruptive thoughts with, as choppy as they were. Organization is not necessarily a quality that I seem to possess.
I'm coming to terms with the fact that my body is never going to be that perfect beach body that is pictured in magazines and posted all over instagram. That's just not how my body seems to work, and I'm starting to be okay with that. I'm starting to like my curves. I'm realizing that simply being "skinny" is not necessarily as important as it used to be. Curves are attractive and add to my individualism. I'll keep pushing myself to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but no matter how much work I put in, my curves are not going to disappear. Since coming home from London in December, I've lost 8 pounds. While this may not seem like a lot, coming from a 5'2" girl, it is a noticeable amount. I'm nowhere near finished with my journey, yet I feel it's important to celebrate the completion of a mini goal of mine… being under that 140 lb mark! My goal, no matter how long it takes me, is to be about 130 pounds and I'm already well on my way. Cheers to being comfortable in my own body again.
How I wish I were in your arms, tonight and every night that follows.
Good morning

G-Unit's [artist id="1245018"]Lloyd Banks[/artist] has been at odds with [artist id="2000082"]Rick Ross[/artist] since the Miami MC called out 50 Cent. And now that Ross has been hinting at battling Eminem, Banks says that Ross has gone too far.
"As far as calling out [artist id="502642"]Eminem[/artist], c'mon man. That's just gonna make me spank on you even harder," Banks said Thursday (April 30), before revealing that he has another diss record coming for Ross, who he slammed with his recent "Officer Down" track.
"I got 'Officer Down, Part II' coming. He'll have to deal with that," Banks added.
To backtrack, on Thursday Rick Ross released a video from St. Maarten, where he is vacationing after his Deeper Than Rap LP debuted at #1 on the Billboard albums chart this week. He then turned his attention to the G-Unit/ Shady camp, who recently put out a video by Banks and DJ Whoo Kid promoting their new 4-30-09: Happy Birthday, Vol. 4 mixtape. In it, Whoo Kid admonished Ross for calling the Unit "monkeys."
"You know now they saying 'monkey' could be [a] black-on-black racial [situation]," Ross says to his friend Gunplay in the video.
"Cut it out, that's racial. You can't call other black people monkeys," Whoo Kid said.
In Thursday's video, Ross took the slur to Eminem.
"The only way I could fix that — Eminem you're a monkey," Ross said in his video. "He's really a honky [pronounced to rhyme with 'monkey'], but that's racial. You n—as monkeys. The world knows you're monkeys."
Banks didn't take kindly to the Em insults.
"As far as calling out Eminem, you're not in the top 10 lyricists nowhere," Banks said. "So just sit down, man. We seen what Em can do. Em's in a whole 'nother lane. How do you go from praising somebody in one interview to calling him a 'monkey' in the next? He's been in out of pocket too many times. We'll see where his future goes. It doesn't look too bright, if you ask me."
Banks also said that Ross has nothing to be proud of as far as Deeper Than Rap's first-week sales go.
"First of all, his first week [sales] was 150 thousand and change," Banks said. "That was with two or three months of promotion, beefing with the most popular rapper there is right now outside of Eminem. There is no bigger promotion than that.
"He reminds me of 12 or 13 year old," Banks added. "You know he's always lying. He said he spoke to [G-Unit employee] Nelson [allegedly about offering Ross money to end the beef], and it already was put out there you didn't speak to him. Then you say, 'I took the [prison-guard] position because my boss asked' him to. They didn't need you to go to the penitentiary to make a buck. C'mon."
Despite his response to Ross, Banks was actually in a great mood: It's his 27th birthday, he just released the Happy Birthday mixtape, and "Officer Down" has been a stronger seller on iTunes.
"If [Ross] responds, it benefits me," Banks said. "It goes straight to iTunes. I found a way to make money off a beef."

Xavier Gators good to go despite graduation of champ runner
Originally published: Aug 20, 2013 - 12:00 am
Note: This article includes schools in the writer's area of coverage, which is as follows: from Fountain Hills west through Scottsdale, all of Phoenix (except for Ahwatukee), the southwest, northwest and northern sections of the metro area. Other locales include northern, northeast and northwest Arizona. Most of this information was obtained from e-mail questionnaires returned by the coaches.
Star Sarah Fakler has graduated, now scampering through the greener pastures at the University of Virginia, but the team she leaves behind at Phoenix Xavier Prep has a good chance to earn its seventh straight big-school cross-country championship.
Coach Dave Van Sickle's Gators are led by a pair of seniors, Samantha Mattice and Shelby Brown. Junior Lauren Kinzle also should be a factor, along with Jane Miller and Sierra Brown.
Other Gators to watch are Julianne Vice, Savannah Gaffney, Shannon Molvin and incoming freshman Sarah Carter.
Glendale Mountain Ridge finished ninth a year ago, and coach Rich Stein thinks that this year's group might have more depth.
The team's top runners are seniors Christiana Benites and Cari Steen and freshman Tatum Stafford.
Neil Young is switching from coaching boys to the girls this season at Glendale Cactus, and hopes for a top-five finish. Many of his athletes participated in the Arizona Road Racers Summer Series.
The Cobras will be led by juniors Kenzi Fitzgerald and Libby Rath, sophomore Drianna Mustin and freshman Alexis Wilkes.
Phoenix Greenway always seems to be competitive, and this year's version should be no different.
Leading the way are senior Summer Ankrum and sophomore Hailey Femrite.
Scottsdale Saguaro is moving up from Division III to Division II, and coach John Prather has a good group.
The team is led by junior Jelani Huma, also a starting guard on the school's state championship basketball team. Other key runners are senior Megan Boyd and sophomore Hailey Prestwood.
The teams from Glendale High and Phoenix Sierra Linda are attempting to make some strides.
Glendale is led by Natalia Gonzales, and Sierra Linda's top runner is Zyanne Baxter.
Other area teams in the D-I top 10 and their top returnees: No. 6 Scottsdale Chaparral (Ali Kallner), No. 7 Phoenix Pinnacle (Andrea Arriaga), Phoenix Sandra Day O'Connor (Kyra Lopez).
Flagstaff High appears to be in a good position to repeat in Division II.
The Eagles have three top 10 finishers returning, including champion Tatiana Gillick. The others are Alix Manci and Rae Johnson.
Other teams that could challenge and their top returnees: Cave Creek Cactus Shadows (Sloane Myers-Lenz), Phoenix Arcadia (Megan Reniewicki) and Glendale Ironwood (Shea Bonine).
In Division III, defending champion Page High lost its top three finishers (all in the top 10) to graduation. Senior Tomeka Church will have to lead this year's group.
Second-place Cottonwood Mingus is led by returning senior Justine Taylor. No. 3 Chinle has Tamarie Tracey back. Junior Danielle Smiley is back to lead No. 10 Fort Defiance Window Rock.
Among D-III individuals, Fountain Hills sophomore Sierra Jarriel is back, as is Courtney Lewis of River Valley.
In Division IV, Keams Canyon Hopi is the favorite to pick up another title trophy with three seniors who finished in the top 10 – Kaitlyn Billy, Christen Ben and Claryn Josytewa.
Other key teams and their top returnees: Flagstaff Northland Prep (Regan Gee), Ganado (individual champion Nikesha Eagleman), Scottsdale Prep (Charlotte Moore), Whiteriver Alchesay (Carmilyn Pinal), Phoenix Northwest Christian (Megan Davis) and Sanders Valley (Kristen Quigley).

By guest blogger Rob Callaghan, Manager of Product and Outbound Marketing, Data Center Solutions Group, LSI
The manageability and security benefits of virtualized desktop environments are numerous. VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) deployments continue to grow like gangbusters. Deploying and supporting hundreds of desktops on a single server lets you easily centralize desktop support and security. Another advantage of VDI is that patches, security updates, and hardware and software upgrades demand much less overhead. VDI also dramatically reduces the risk that desktop users will breach security by providing configurations to prevent data from being copied onto portable media or sent externally.
EMC and LSI are putting together solutions that pair with VMware Horizon View to optimize a virtual desktop infrastructure. One nifty solution is EMC ScaleIO, software that helps streamline and speed up VDI deployments.
VDI Deployments Are Moving to Converged Data and Compute Infrastructures
When deploying datacenter and enterprise applications, scaling can lead to a number of performance challenges. In enterprise-scale VDI deployments, if the storage infrastructure is not designed properly, performance can suffer when the IT administrator attempts to boot or provision a large number of desktops at once. One common bottleneck is legacy SAN-connected storage because data access is queued through a single, shared storage infrastructure. And, of course, increasing the density of virtual desktops supported by a server can exacerbate any performance issue.
A virtual desktop infrastructure is ripe for the solution of distributed storage, and EMC ScaleIO software is a compelling solution. EMC ScaleIO incorporates converged and elastic storage infrastructure, which allows scaling of both capacity and performance to meet changing business requirements. This software locates direct attached storage (DAS) on each server and pools it into a large virtual storage repository. EMC ScaleIO leverages the speed of LSI Nytro flash storage accelerator cards to achieve industry-leading VDI density and Ultrabook performance. If desktops are moved between physical servers, or if a server fails, the datacenter's existing high-speed network moves data to the local storage of the new server.
EMC ScaleIO has created a new breed of converged infrastructure for VDI.
LSI Nytro and ScaleIO Software Boost VDI Session Numbers, Reduce Costs
In a recent demonstration, the ScaleIO software leveraged the application acceleration of LSI® Nytro™ PCIe flash storage accelerator cards to increase the number of VDI sessions a server could support, significantly reducing the cost of each desktop. Better yet, application acceleration gives users improved performance for much shorter response times. By using the ScaleIO software and the Nytro WarpDrive flash storage accelerator card, customers receive the benefits of high-availability storage plus intelligent flash acceleration at a more budget-friendly price point than comparable SAN-based solutions.
To demonstrate the benefits of this solution, the widely accepted Login VSI benchmark was used to simulate the actual workload of users. Test results showed key customer benefits, including
- Support for 1,000 desktops with average user response times of less than 1 second
- Rapid desktop provisioning – deployment of 1,000 virtual desktops in 1 hour, 28 minutes
- Elimination of boot storms – simultaneous boots of 1,000 virtual desktops in 12 minutes
- Linear scalability and easy sizing – support of up to 167 desktops per server node
- Affordable all-flash solution – Ultrabook™-like user experience for the cost of an entry-level business PC
- Reduced TCO – low-cost project implementation and efficient management and maintenance
To learn more, take a look at the following EMC ScaleIO and LSI flash storage accelerator card solutions for optimizing your Horizon View virtual desktop deployments:

Captain Price Voice Actor Allegedly Outs Modern Warfare 4, Infinity Ward At The Helm
Posted on Tuesday, October 30 @ 07:26:04 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Call of Duty: Black Ops II isn't even out yet, but it looks like talk of next year's installment in Activision's popular shooter franchise has already begun.
Bill Murray—no, not that Bill Murray—has reportedly revealed that Modern Warfare 4 is currently in the works at Infinity Ward. Speaking to This is Xbox, the voice behind Captain Price allegedly shared the following information:
I don't know about you, but I was under the impression that Modern Warfare 3 would mark the end of the story first started in Call of Duty 4. At the same time, the Modern Warfare name is so recognizable—perhaps even more so than Call of Duty—that Activision abandoning such a powerful brand name would be crazy.

Day 8
Kusadasi - Ephesus - Kusadasi We explored over 2000 year old streets , a theatre, the library of Celsius and Hadrians Temple in Ephesus. Next we went to the Virgin Mary's stone cottage and went down to the springs where the water is blessed and is said to perform miracles. And the last stop was to a traditional rug production centre where we we given a very detailed lesson on traditional rug making and what to look for in a quality ...
Troy & a horrible day
... end of the war it ended up in US and Russian hands, the US are returning the jewelly but no surprise to hear the Russians won't as the got it from Germany!! Seeing the road way and walls from different eras was really interesting. Seeing the pots the used to bury in the ground to keep food cool was amazing and the sacrifice and wells area for killing the animals and washing up, it is amazing how much the sea has receded from what was a fishing town.. Yes I bought ...
Day 18 - The Ancient City of Ephesus
... be moved with the history this area holds. I spent 5 mins inside the house taking the quiet ambience in before leaving 2 candles on behalf of mum & Jenny. The day was very enjoyable but long. We rushed home, changed quickly and made our way directly to the hotel for our Izmir Rotary presentation and meeting. Next stop was my 2nd Izmir host family - Ramazan and family... Good ...
Ephesus = Amazing
... my ill child to please let me pass this test.
Next we went to Ephesus. Which was amazing. What was not amazing was the sheer number of people there. A cruise ship was in town today and it made everything crazy busy. I don't even know how to describe the first time you look over the hill and see the library. I did learn that the library was actually built as a mausoleum. I also learned ...
Kusadasi Bazaar and Ephesus
... an old center of worship of a native nature goddess, who was equated with the Greek Artemis, and c.550 B.C. a large temple was built.
The main points of interest here at Ephesus are the Temple of Artemis, Library of Celsus, Basilica of St. John, Prytaneion and Church of Mary.
Kusadasi is a lovely port, and the people are friendly and welcoming. A resort town worth stopping in if you are exploring this part of the world.

I chose V2 for the title because the design represents a two cylinder motor bike engine in about half scale .
Building this box has been a bit of a challenge for me since I have never attempted a project like this and I wanted to incorporate the spirit of the contest motto ,like "twist, secret and jewelry" .
The box is build mainly using the band saw and has a drawer ,two secret compartments that twist and a couple jewelry type decorations .
The cylinders are held in place by a bayonet type lock(see bolts at back and slot in cylinder ) and can be removed with a simple twist but first the air filter has to be removed forward as it locks both cylinders and keeps them from being turned . The inside of the cylinders are about 9"high by 2" in diameter ,room for lots of stuff to be hidden .
This band saw box is a present to my son in law .
The bike he owns has a beautiful looking engine which is the inspiration for this box design .

I'm SURE your son in law is going to be really excited to get this. It's way out of what I've come to think about as a band saw box. Thanks for answering the cooling fins question.
I know you are a band saw master but I was curious about how long this project took?

Quotes & Highlights
"STOMP finds beautiful noises in the strangest places." —USA Today
STOMP is explosive, provocative, sophisticated, sexy, utterly unique and appeals to audiences of all ages. The return of the percussive hit also brings some new surprises, with some sections of the show now updated and restructured and the addition of two new full-scale routines, utilizing props like tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans. STOMP. See what all the noise is about.

NEWS DAY | Your life, your health, your zip code
"Tell me your zip code and I'll tell you how long you are going to live." Four years ago, at an Annenberg conference in California, that statement came as a shock. Not any more.
Health and illness are in the news with the looming March 31 deadline for signing up for the Affordable Care Act. I've been writing about health, and so have our Daily Planet reporters and media partners. Want to know more?
• Erin Elizabeth Collins Salinas wrote about a "cultural disconnect" in the black community when it comes to health care, and the Stairstep Foundation's work with black churches to get people connected through the Affordable Care Act. (Here's a complete list of MNsure information and sign-up events all over the state.)
• In my News Day column, I write about how your zip code predicts mortality. That's because it also tells how you're living right now, or more precisely — your zip code correlates to your income. Poor communities have less access to hospitals and health care, fewer grocery stores, high rates of pollution. They have less access to parks, fewer safe places to walk or jog, fewer swimming pools and health clubs. People with lower income have to work more hours. They are subject to a hundred stresses that diminish both quality of life and longevity.
• Dr. Ed Ehlinger, Minnesota's health commissioner, is leading an effort to focus on health inequities, especially race-based inequities. In his introduction to the MDH February report to the legislature, he tells a personal story about going to a Green Bay Packer game with his dad back in 1953. He saw the team's only black football player, the first black man he had ever seen. Afterward he asked his dad about it.
"I remember specifically what my dad said. 'He's a Negro and he comes from Detroit. He's allowed to live in Green Bay only during the football season. Then he has to leave. While he's here, he has to live in a cabin behind Kroll's (a restaurant near the edge of town).'
"To me, that did not seem fair. My dad agreed but said, 'That's the way things are right now. Let's hope that they change in the future. Maybe your generation can do that.' ...
"[A]s my mother said when she heard of our conversation on the way home from the football game in 1953, 'Life can be unfair and unjust but it's not unchangeable. If you want, you can help change what you saw today.' I share my mother's perspective. We have been blessed with a great challenge and a great opportunity to advance health equity in Minnesota. I believe we are up to that challenge.
• Jay Walljasper wrote in a Community Voices article about some very local efforts to improve health: the Cultural Wellness Center in Phillips neighborhood, and St. Paul's East Side Family Clinic. and Frogtown Farms. Walljasper sums it up:
"There is growing recognition in the medical field that maintaining good health means more than taking care of yourself and getting regular medical check ups. Healthy living conditions and strong community cohesion foster healthy neighborhoods, while inequality, discrimination, crime, pollution, traffic, isolation, and a sense of powerlessness contribute to disease. It's difficult to improve people's overall health without addressing the social, economic and racial issues where they live."
Behind the stories:
- Income gap, meet the longevity gap (Annie Lowrey, New York Times)
- Advancing Health Equity in Minnesota: February 2014 report to the legislature by Minnesota Department of Health
- Robert Wood Johnson Foundation City Maps (scroll down for Minneapolis-St. Paul)
- Health Inequities in the Twin Cities (Wilder Foundation, 2012)

Tell me your Zip Code
Submitted by valbarnes2001@g... on Thu, 03/20/2014 - 8:21am.
You know Mary, I don't understand why this is suppose to be interesting or complex. Its the same ole, same ole.
Healthcare, Medical Care, who get's it, why and where is not a puzzle.
What would be great to see is reguarly examples of what health disparities look like. Not stats, the individual story. Identify what the disparity looks like during person to person interaction or person to instituition interaction. It still comes down to the same thing.
You know Mary, what I've learned, is everything in life is about relationships. Health Inequities/Health Disparities is about a big bad broken relationship.
So, Now! they say heathcare/medical care is tied to Zip Codes, No kidding.

Yes telling stories is good, however I don't believe I have ever read a personal story about
health inequties/health disparities. Mary, have you? val

Ukrainian oligarch Petro Poroshenko, who is tipped to become the country's new leader, will go head-to-head with former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko in the country's presidential elections today.
Poroshenko, the confectionery tycoon nicknamed the Chocolate King, is all but guaranteed a landslide victory when Ukrainians elect a new president. Poroshenko, 48, was a strong backer of the protests against Moscow-backed president Viktor Yanukovich last winter.
Poroshenko is now worth $1.3 billion (£772.4 million), according to Forbes magazine, through his candy and chocolate empire, while Tymoshenko made money as the "gas princess" through her involvement in the trade and transit of Russian natural gas.
Tymoshenko was jailed for corrupt gas deals with Russia under Yanukovich, but was released when he was toppled and her record was cleared of any blame.

Exploring a New Way of Planning and Executing Hackathons
Posted on 12-12-2012
I started tracking on Hackathons full time in 2011, as part of my API Evangelism toolbox. In 2012 I've watched Hackathons explode and become a popular way for API owners to engage and build a relationship with developers. (if done right)
As I do with other trending areas, I launched as its own site, hackweekends.com. I've gotten a lot of demand from hackathon organizers and sponsors to add events and other news and information. To support this I recently launched Hack Weekends on Github, so anyone can edit pages, write blog posts and add events to the calendar. A sort of crowd sourced hackathon hub.
To further support the hackathon community I also wanted to provide an open source hackathon guide, helping anyone understand how they can throw their own hackathon. There were already two great hackathon guides out there which are Open Data Hackathon How to Guide and The Hack Day Manifesto---both licensed openly. So I took this excellent material and merged with my own material to create a Hack Weekends Guide.
The Hack Weekends guide provides a very detail guide to throwing a hackathon, and I also included a website template that runs on Github Pages using Jekyll. My goal is to make it a plug-n-play guide with all the tools and resources you need to be successful in your communities hackathon
Next I need to actually prove my "open source" approach to planning, designing and marketing hackathons. I'm planning several hackathons to make sure the process works. The first hackathon I am planning is for OC Hackerz in Orange County, California. OC Hackerz is a big supporter of developers, and is in sync with my vision of what the hackathon space should look like, so they are a great partner to plan two initial hackathons:
The planning of the OC Hackerz Hackathon is meant to be an exploratory deployment of the Hack Weekends Guide, intended to make hackathon planning an open and collaborative process between organizers, sponsors and the local stakeholders.
Hack Weekends is all a work in progress. So I'm lookiking for feedback. If you'd like to get involved in hackathons or use the Hack Weekends process yourself, feel free to reach out. The platform already has other supports such Singly, AT&T and Hacker League. My vision is to have everyone in the community contributing.

Nielsen: 20.6 Million Watched Inauguration, Ratings Down 46%
Nielsen says that 20.6 million people across 18 networks watched President Obama be sworn in for his second term Monday. As we noted yesterday, NBC led the way among broadcasters, with CNN topping cable news.
The 20.6 million figure was down from 37.8 million viewers in 2009, a drop of 46%. That said, it was an improvement over George W. Bush's second inauguration in 2005, which saw a similar percentage drop from his first.
In a post explaining the numbers, Nielsen throws in this factoid:
[V]iewership has historically slid for second term inaugurations. Pres. Richard Nixon is the only president in recent history that has seen an increase; he notched a 22 percent increase during his second term inauguration.

First hookers, now an AFFAIR? Eliot Spitzer refuses to deny claims he's cheating on his wife
- New York City comptroller candidate Eliot Spitzer has refused to deny rumors that he's cheating on his wife
- He said he's tired of personal attacks
Eliot Spitzer has refused to deny claims that he is cheating on his wife Silda - again.
The New York City comptroller candidate was given three opportunities this morning to defend himself against allegations he has a girlfriend, but instead chose to dodge reporters' questions.
'I am so tired of the personal attacks and I've answered all those questions,' he said at a Brooklyn campaign stop.
Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has refused to deny that he has a girlfriend
With wife Silda by his side, Eliot Spitzer publicly apologizes to his family after he was linked to a prostitution ring in 2008
Spitzer spectacularly resigned from politics five years ago after admitting he regularly had sex with prostitutes, including Emperors Club VIP call girls Ashley Alexandra Dupré.
While his wife Silda, 55, stood by him, it has been reported she now plans to leave her husband as soon as the New York election is held in November. The couple also reportedly live apart.
Spitzer today tried to play down the fresh rumors about a new extra-marital tryst - telling reporters the public doesn't care about his love life.
'The public cares about what I did in government. That's what I'm going to be talking about and that's what the public is going to be voting on - based on what I did in terms of trying to clean up Wall Street, which got a lot more attention than the other things we did,' he said, according to the New York Post. 'But the other things we did was just as important.'
When the topic was raised again, Spitzer insisted voters weren't interested in his private affairs.
said everything we can say about that and these are attacks that are
coming out of left field and frankly, you know, the public cares about
what the public should care about. The public frankly is a lot smarter
in this regard than some folks in the media,' he said.
When a reporter gave him a final chance to 'reject' the rumors, Spitzer said: 'I have said everything we're going to say about this.'
Spitzer's favorite call girl, Ashley Dupre, met for romps in room 817 of the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. on several occasions
Ex-New York madam Kristin Davis supplied Spitzer with prostitutes
Spitzer's controversial comeback follows the 2008 revelation he had spent about $80,000 on prostitutes supplied by Emperors Club VIP madam Kristin Davis.
The married father of three daughters took call-girls, including his favorite Ashley Alexandra Dupré, to room 871 at the tony Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C., paying about $1,000 per hour for his sexcapades.
Spitzer's extra-marital liaisons were revealed after Davis' illicit operation attracted the attention of federal law enforcement. They then caught Spitzer on a wiretap arranging a sex-for-pay session with Dupré.
'I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family and violates my - or any - sense of right or wrong,' Spitzer said in a short speech, after media reports identified him as a man referred to in court documents as 'Client 9.'
Spitzer resigned but never faced criminal charges because federal authorities determined he didn't use public money to fund his trysts.
Spitzer's political comeback has been compared to that of New York mayoral contender Anthony Weiner, the married former U.S. congressman who resigned after sending racy photos of himself to several women, including Sydney Leathers.

Driving tests
About drivers these days, have you seen the Registry of Motor Vehicles test? My son studied the whole book, and had all the laws, rules of the road down cold. He passed, but told me that 10 out of the 25 questions were about drinking, open container laws, and the Massachusetts blood alcohol limit. They do not test to see if you have a complete knowledge about the rules and procedures of the road. While at RMV in Lawrence I watched people who did not speak any English go in for the driving test. The instructor said, "If I signal for them to turn, can they understand me?" And off they went. There are no accidents.
Road collisions are caused because the RMV has not thoroughly tested to see if one is truly worthy for the skill of driving. When I took the driving test 25 years ago, I had to show proficiency in all situations, both on paper and when communicating to the people at RMV. I have no tickets, and have been driving the same car for 22 years. I just wish the government we pay for would clean up its act and get those bad drivers off the road. Driving is a privilege, not a right.
More lies
So now that we've learned that President Obama and his cronies knew that people would lose their health insurance and their doctors, will we see all the other Obama lies as well? Will it be closing down Guantanamo? What about getting 80-percent of our electricity from clean sources? How about going line by line through the budget to eliminate programs that don't work? How about increased protection for whistleblowers? What about eliminating gas and oil loopholes or eliminating capital gains for small businesses? Where are the child care credits and fixing the marriage penalty? Where's that pre-filled out tax form and automatic 401(k) and IRA enrollment? I'm still waiting for that annual state of the world address!

CRICKET: Dark Blues in command
Updated 10:12am Tuesday 1st July 2014 in Sport
NICK Ferraby entered the history books with a sparkling maiden first-class century which rescued Oxford after a sticky start on the first day of the University Match against Cambridge in The Parks yesterday.
The Aston Rowant batsman scored 107 and shared a century stand with skipper Gus Kennedy as the Dark Blues recovered from 37-3 to finish the day on 321-7.
It did not look good for the hosts after Kennedy chose to bat first.
Opener Joe Davies departed second ball, bowled by Alex Sears, who then dismissed Ethan Fogerty in similar fashion for eight.
When Matt Winter departed to Paddy Sadler for a brisk 23 from 25 balls, Oxford were struggling.
But Ferraby and Kennedy turned the tide with increasing authority.
Ferraby, a former Leicestershire player, was the dominant partner in a fourth-wicket stand of 173 in 54 overs, striking 18 fours on the fast outfield. He was eventually caught for 107 off 168 balls, but by then Oxford were in control.
Kennedy fell shortly afterwards for a dogged, but important, 67 made off 191 deliveries.
Richard O'Grady and Sam Cato carried on the good work in a sixth-wicket stand of 63, although Cambridge's left-arm spinners Richard Bath and Izhan Khan exercised a measure of control.
Tom Williams put bat to ball to push the total over the 300-mark and ensure the honours went to Oxford for the day – thanks to Ferraby.
