Police have killed a mountain lion that was spotted roaming through yards in the central Nebraska city of Kearney.
The cougar was killed Monday morning in southwest Kearney about 2 miles north of Interstate 80 and the Platte River.
Several Kearney residents called police after spotting the mountain lion while they were getting ready for work.
Cougars are regularly spotted in western Nebraska, but in recent years, they have been confirmed as far east as Omaha and Columbus.

Dark Jamaican rum suggestions?
- Wahooty Jan 19, 2014 08:04 PM
It's late January in Michigan, which in my world means it's time for festive beverages in the style of tiki. (What? I'm an escapist.) So my last trip to the grocery store yielded white grapefruit, limes, and a bottle of Myers. My ancient mariner tonight reminded me how disappointing Myers is. What should I be using instead? I KNOW there are better options, but this is one rum horizon I have not yet broadened.
Can't speak for Tiki recipes, but I consider Smith & Cross an essential rum. Unique and astonishing. Deeply funky.
www.kindredcocktails.com | Craft + Collect + Concoct + Categorize + Community
Smith & Cross and Coruba are my favorite dark Jamaican rums. Coruba works well because it is quite dry and should be blended with another rum such as a demerara like El Dorado for levels of flavor that is typical in tiki drinks.
Here's my adaptation of Jeff's Ancient Mariner. By the way, Ocean Spray bottled white grapefruit juice works fine in cocktails. Research has shown that fresh squeezed white grapefruit juice actually improves over the course of several days after squeezing and hits its flavor peak around 72 hours after squeezing and holds for 2-3 weeks, easily. Good quality bottled white grapefruit juice is very near to the quality of fresh squeezed during its peak flavor profile.
The Ancient Mariner– Beachbum Berry, 1994, his version of Trader Vic's Navy Grog
1 oz. El Dorado dark rum
1 oz. Coruba dark Jamaican rum
3/4 oz. lime juice
1/2 oz. grapefruit juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup
1/4 oz. house Allspice syrup
Shake with ice and strain into a hurricane glass or large brandy snifter, then top off with ice. Garnish with mint sprigs and scored lime (Tribal lime.)
Here's a pic what I mean by a scored "Tribal" lime in one of my cocktails called the Rickey Tiki Tavi, and Indian spice influenced tiki drink.
re: Raffles
Cruzan is ok, but for a better price and much higher quality with more flavor, I recommend the El Dorado line of demerara rums.
Coruba is really where it's at for a Jamaican dark rum for tiki drinks. Appleton Extra is another great rum in my book, and Jeff Berry says in Remixed it can also be used in recipes calling for dark rum.
As much as I like Smith & Cross, it tends to take over a drink pretty easily. I've found a few drinks where I enjoy Cruzan Blackstrap as well, but that's another one that won't easily slot into any recipe.
Thanks, gang. I'll be on the lookout for the Coruba the next time I'm in a halfway decent liquor store. That's the kind of suggestion I was looking for - something affordable for mixing but better than the ubiquitous Myers. But thanks for reminding me to put Smith & Cross and various El Dorado products on my shopping list, too.
re: Wahooty
The one bad thing about Coruba is the bottle/label. It looks like cheap crap.
re: DavidT
Only thing about Clement is it's a rhum agricole, which has a very different flavor profile. It and Rhum JM are fantastic, but the Martinique rhum agricole's are very different critters than rums made from molasses.
re: DavidT
I have several rums that are great for sipping neat...this happens to be a tiki-specific quest. But I do appreciate the suggestion!
re: Wahooty
Rhum agricole is definitely used in some tiki drinks. Usually a mix of several rums to get a really broad rum flavor profile. That's one of the things that tiki drinks are known for, mixing rums.
re: Wahooty
I understand. Some of the Rhum JM are inexpensive enough for cocktails. I find that anything $30 a bottle or less I can use in cocktails, especially if they are modifiers and not the bulk of the main spirit.
Coruba should be your tiki mixing rum of choice for a dark Jamaican rum
It is superior than Appleton 12 in most tiki drinks and it is also much less expensive
Smith and Cross (gold Jamaican) is not a dark jamaican and very funky, I like it quite a bit but it takes the drink in a different direction, not traditional per se
You would sub Appleton V/X for Smith and Cross, and come up with a similar but more complex/funky drink with the Smith and Cross - I would probably start out with Appleton V/X and try them side by side both are good additions
For a good sipper ED 21 is pricey but excellent, before going for that make sure you enjoy ED 12 / LH / LH 151 flavor, if so you can pull the trigger with confidence
Not sure i would sip Rhum Clement VSOP but you should certainly use it in your Mai Tai along with Appleton V/X or Smith and Cross

The U.S. isn't going to default, right? Then again, it just might, and the very possibility has investors asking how to protect themselves. Reuters canvassed expert opinion for some options.

With spot prices nearly 30 percent off their 2012 highs gold also looks relatively cheap. Natixis head of commodities research Nic Brown:

Alison Lyrics - Everything But The Girl
Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.
And with the way you look I understand
that you are not impressed.
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
take off your party dress.
I'm not going to get too sentimental
like those other sticky valentines,
'cause I don't know if you've been loving somebody.
I only know it isn't mine.
Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.
Well I see you've got a husband now.
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying
in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand.
I'll bet he took all he could take.
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
when I hear the silly things that you say.
I think somebody better put out the big light,
cause I can't stand to see you this way.
Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.
my aim is true....

Dec 19, 2010Edie Falco's performance in Nurse Jackie is always gripping with drama. Jackie, a prescription drug addict, who works as a nurse in a hospital. She sees patients going in and out every day but never really cared for them other than treating them and let them go. Jackie also leads a double life, where as the people in the hospital have no idea she has a family. So Jackie can cheat on her husband with another man. Nurse Jackie develops the character well and offers plenty of drama with Jackie and plenty of humour from Joey.… Expand
If there's a glaring flaw, it's in the character of Dr. Eleanor O'Hara (Eve Best). As comic relief, she's far too thin. Nurse Jackie has much richer, darker comedy to offer.
With Falco front and center, you don't really care if Nurse Jackie gets silly, as with the patient whose cat attacked his scrotum.
The fantastical creation of Jackie Peyton, perhaps surprisingly, has shades of gray that make her very real indeed. Both show and character are something wonderful to behold -- and worth taking multiple doses of.

We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.
Big Think's Edge learning platform for career mentorship and professional development provides engaging and actionable courses delivered by the people who are shaping our future.
Demystifying the human brain
Economic researchers are uncovering the chemical triggers in our brains that spark feelings of trust—and using their findings to better understand how markets work.
Far from simply being a relaxed state, meditation is a period of heightened mental activity. Long-term practice can increase one's capacity for attention as well as compassion.
As neuroimaging labs use scanners to reveal more and more details about how the brain works, their findings are increasingly affecting the legal system.
By studying the neural networks in the brain, scientists have constructed computer-based models that mirror the brain's complex biological networks.
Our memory peaks at the age of 30, and then it declines gradually with time. But if we train our brains to stay more active and focused, they can remain healthier longer.
Given that drugs like Ritalin and Adderall raise productivity indiscriminately, shouldn't everyone be using them? Dr. Harold Koplewicz, one of the nation's leading child psychiatrists, thinks ADHD—like the drugs that are used to treat it—is "highly misunderstood."
Social philosopher William Powers and scientist Gary Small say distractions in the digital age come at the cost of sustained, deep attention.
How is it that we're able to focus on a distant conversation while ignoring the person who is speaking right in front of us? Tony Zador, a neuroscientist at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, breaks down the brain mechanisms that allow us to have selective auditory attention.
The amygdala, an almond-shaped structure in the limbic system, is where the the brain processes and reacts to frightening stimuli. Because of its mechanism, our emotional responses to situations that feel dangerous are often unconscious.
There's no such thing as a verbatim, facsimile memory, says USC neuroscientist Antonio Damasio. When we reconstruct events in our minds, we are pulling together set sequences of specific details stored in different parts of the brain.
Confidence is a trait typically cast as a higher-order function in the brain. It's at once the act of making a decision, recognizing the decision as thought, and measuring the degree to which that decision makes sense. An impartial judge it's not, prophet even less, yet confidence surely requires ...

Stereophonic Pickup System Using Baffled Pressure Microphones
Miking techniques tend to give a growing place to high quality, transformerless, condenser pressure microphone but, being omnidirectional, their use in stereo pairs leads to troubles with the restitution of the stereophonic image.: The paper presents a way of improving this shortcoming by adjoining a flat panel to each microphone; parameters such as dimensions and angles are experimentally determined, and the results will be discussed.

With the official start of spring just a month away, both the Sonoma Men's Golf Association and the Sonoma Valley Golf Club are kicking their seasons into gear.
The Sonoma Men's Golf Association made its way into Marin and played the StoneTree Golf Club on Feb. 13, taking advantage of some clear weather after the storm that brought much-needed water to the area, with the 24 members who made the trip rewarded with a course that was in good shape and had fast greens.
Leading the way in the net division was Al Rappoport with a fine round of 70; followed two shots back by Tom Martin's 72; while Ron Sharek's 75 was good enough for third place; Kay Groft took fourth with a 76; and Chuck Lee and Phil Rollins tied for fifth with a 77 each.
In the gross division, Woody Frink's 80 was good enough to take the top spot, while Martin Bajuk's 85 earned him second place.
The difficult group of par-3s proved to be no match for those that teed it up in closest-to-the-hole action, with Mike Gauthier mastering the third hole with a shot to 8 feet, 7 inches.
Sharek conquered the canyon that lies between the tee and the green of the tricky eighth, with his ball coming to rest 9-2 away.
Lee hit the shot of the day on the water-guarded 10th hole, with a laser-like approach to just 3-7, while Karl Mayer made his presence known with a shot to 24-8 on the 17th.
The SMGA has two good venues coming up in the next few weeks, with Rooster Run on March 2, and Silverado's south course on March 16.
The Sonoma Valley Golf Club returned to its home course of Eagle Vines in Napa for its first event of the year on Feb. 11.
In the first flight, Barry Robertson toured the fairways and greens with a round of 73, good enough for first place; followed by Jun Jasareno's second-place 74; while the crafty south-paw Jim Schnabel grabbed third with his round of 75.
Scores dropped for the second flight with Lou Pignati firing a 65 for top honors; with Bud Schuerman and Wayne Coronel matching cards with 67s, before Schuerman took second and Coronel third in a card-off.
The third flight saw scores take another dip, with Ernie Loveless having the round of the day with a 63; followed by John Fanucchi's 64 for second; while Mike Cox finished third with a 66.
In closest-to-the-pin action, playing from the white tees, Bob Clair claimed the honors on the downhill sixth with a shot to just 4 feet.
Ron Sharek showed his consistent game was back for another year with a shot to 10 feet, 8 inches on the difficult eighth.
Jerry Van Wallinga opened his season with a shot to 20-5 on the 12th, while Jim Ansel found the 15th to his liking with a shot to 6- 1.
Playing from the gold tees, Dan Stites' shot to 26-7 on the sixth was good enough, while John Muncy garnered top honors on No. 8 with a shot to 12-5.
Harry Tistle joined the party on the 12th, his ball coming to rest 14-10 away, and Mick Merenda's shot to 5 feet on the 15th was worthy of a prize.
The red tees saw John Richards fire a shot to 13-1 on the sixth, while no one could find the green on the eighth from that tee. Chuck Harris found the 12th to his liking with a shot to 14-10, while the shot of the day was reserved for John Murphy on the 15th, his ball tracking the flag and stopping just 3-11 from the hole.
The SVGC is still recruiting members and is open to anyone who would like to join.
Events take place twice a month at Eagle Vines in nearby Napa/American Canyon, as well as six away events throughout the season.
Membership rates vary from $30 for existing NCGA members up to $60 for new members. For more information, contact Jack Powers at 996-0109 or Dan Stites at 996-6829.
This week will see the Accenture Match Play Championship take place outside Tucson, Ariz., with 64 of the best players in the world trying to take home the first World Golf Championship of 2014.
When it was created in 1999, it was one of the must-play events on the PGA Tour schedule, but 15 years later, three of the top-four in the world have not even made the trip to the desert to try and take home the Walter Hagen Cup.
With the lack of star-power over the last few years, tournament sponsor Accenture has pulled the plug after this year, a big blow to the PGA Tour as it was the only sponsor the tournament has ever known.
Many involved point to the golf course as being the main reason many stay away, despite being eligible for an event that guarantees you $48,000 even if you lose in the first round.
For Northern California golf fans, this might not be such bad news, as the rumor mill now suggests that the tournament might look for a new home, and that new home could possibly be Harding Park Golf Club in San Francisco.
Harding is currently undergoing green renovations on all 18 greens, and the PGA Tour agronomists are overseeing the work.
The 2009 President's Cup was a huge success at the venue, so match-play works on the classic course, even if the routing of the course is changed somewhat.
In addition, the players to a man praised the golf course when they were here for both the American Express Championship in 2005, and then again for the President's Cup in 2009.
The only remaining piece of the puzzle is a tournament sponsor; could a Northern California company come to the forefront and want the event in their backyard?
Longtime Champions Tour flagship sponsor Charles Schwab would be a good match, especially with chairman Charles Schwab having a close relationship with many tour players, including Phil Mickelson, who hasn't played the event in many moons.
The Tour doesn't like to have a tournament without a sponsor for very long, so look for an announcement on the future of the event in the very near future, and let's hope that Harding gets the nod.
It would be nice to have the best players in the world on our doorstep once again.

Qualcomm, the world's largest mobile phone chipmaker by revenue, has confirmed that it is currently unable to keep up with the demand for mobile and tablet chips, a move which will no doubt cause some panic among partnering hardware manufacturers.
Qualcomm, perhaps best known for its 28nm S4 Snapdragon processor, which features in a raft of Android and Windows phones and tablets, announced that is unlikely to meet end-of-year targets in a conference call to company investors, and firm's shares have since fallen by 7%.
"We've been helping customers to see how they can swap in our Fusion 2 chipset... [but] we do expect to see some alternative non-Qualcomm chipsets used to solve that issue as well", said CEO Steve Mollenkopf, when commenting on the issue.
The issue predominantly resolves around chips for smartphones, with some speculation that this issue could force a delay for Apple in launching the iPhone 5. However, Qualcomm does also work with a number of tablet manufacturers, like Lenovo, which had been planning to use the S4 chip for future tablet devices, while there has been some suggestion that the S4 would be used for Windows 8 tablets.
The (relative) good news is that Qualcomm - which designs, but outsources the production of the chips to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, is working on alternatives.
Having revealed that its processor factories are not able to meet demand for the S4 chip, the US firm is now in the process of trying to convince handset makers to use its other chips, although there is also a very real possibility that some handset manufacturers may be forced to switch suppliers, resulting in possible hardware price hikes.

Ben Tankard New BRAVO TV Show "Thicker Than Water: The Tankards" Premieres This Fall
Gospel Jazz Music Pioneer BEN TANKARD has received three Dove Award nominations for his FULL TANK CD. Tankard is nominated for: Contemporary Gospel/Urban Song of the Year, Contemporary Gospel/Urban Album of the Year, and Instrumental Album of the Year. "Even after twenty years it seems the music industry is still buzzing with excitement about my records and I am honored to just be an instrument and allow God to play through me over and over again," Tankard shares.
The 44th Annual Dove Awards will take place at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 15 at Lipscomb University's Allen Arena in Nashville. The show will be broadcast at 8 p.m. Oct. 21 on the Up! Television Network. Dove Awards voting for GMA members is open now until Sept 24th. http://www.doveawardsvoting.com/
FULL TANK, released on Tankard's own label Ben-Jamin Universal Music and Central South Distribution, is his 18th solo smooth Gospel/Jazz project which has already won the 2013 Gospel Blue Mic Award for Best Instrumental Artist of the Year and was nominated for a 2013 Soul Train Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Artist. Tankard is recognized as a dynamic instrumentalist, writer, and arranger and is most noted as the producer that discovered Yolanda Adams and created over 40 hit songs with her ("Through The Storm", "Just A Prayer Away", "Battle Is The Lord's", "Let Us Worship Him").
Listen <<Full Tank>> featuring Gerald Albright
Tankard is also very excited about the upcoming premier of his family Reality TV Show with Bravo TV / NBC – Thicker Than Water: The Tankards. This docu-series follows the former professional basketball player turned popular gospel/jazz recording artist and minister, his blended family and their journey in expanding the family fortune. From music-producing to NBA life coaching and motivational speaking, this business-oriented family strives to keep on top of their game, but finds their true passion lies in ministry.
"I am blessed to have the world's most exciting blended family, with 5 grown kids, 2 daughter-in-laws, one grandchild and a great wife," Tankard shares. "There never seems to be a dull moment at the Tankard Palace with plenty of love and life lessons to go around. You will LOVE this show if you have ever heard these words from your parents – 'I brought you into this world and I will take you out'!"
Thicker Than Water: The Tankards is a comedic cross between The Cosbys and The Brady Bunch and will premiere this fall.

Prakash Iyer's mantra: "Anger never lets you win"
a little kid growing up on a sheep farm near Christchurch, New Zealand, Martin was a bright, hardworking boy, prone to losing his temper and getting angry. He would end up saying harsh words to his friends and family without often realising the impact of his angry outbursts.
Intent on mending his sons ways, Martins dad decided on a plan. He gave his son a sack of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the wooden fence at the back of their farm. The son agreed. The first day, he hammered 35 nails into the fence. As the days passed, the number of nails hammered into the fence gradually decreased. It was quite a task going all the way to the back of the farm and hammering a nail. Young Martin figured it was easier to just control his temper, and not get angry.
And then, one day, he did not lose his cool at all. A day of no nails! Delighted, he told his father about it. And the father said that for every day that Martin did not lose his temper, he should pull out a nail from the fence. Martin did as told, and some months later, all the nails in the fence had been removed. Martin was pleased. And so was his dad.
The father led young Martin to the back of the farm and pointing to the wooden fence he said You have done well, my son and I am proud of you. But notice the holes left behind by the nails? They will never go away. The fence will never be the same again. Its like that with our anger too. When we are angry, we say things that leave a scar. And no amount of apologizing thereafter can ever remove those scars. Remember that!
Its a lesson Martin has remembered all his life. And its a lesson we would all do well to take to heart too. Keep your cool. Dont lose your temper. And you will see a significant improvement in your relationships. People will like you more, they will respect you a lot more and you will find that hardly anybody gets angry with you. If you find yourself losing your cool often, maybe you should set yourself a punishment equivalent to hammering nails on the fence. Like Martin, you too might then find yourself controlling your a lot better. Good to remember that you can never really win when you get angry. You always lose your temper, your cool and a whole lot else besides.
Saying Sorry is like using one of those erasers on the top of a pencil. Its easy to use, it feels like you have erased what was written, but the marks remain on the sheet of paper forever. And in this era of instant messaging and on-the-go e-mails, it becomes even more important to watch your words. If you are upset and want to shoot off an angry e-mail or message, hold it! Draft a mail perhaps but leave it as a draft. Dont hit the send button whilst you are angry. Tell yourself that you will take a look at it the next morning, and only then send it. Chances are, with a cooler head the next morning, you will realise the folly of sending out the angry email. And it does not matter that you are in the right, or that you think your anger is justified. If you lose your cool, remember, you lose. Period.
Next time you are angry and want to say something, take a deep breath. Pause. And maybe say nothing at all.
Starting today, resolve to keep your cool. Watch what you say. And see the difference!

Soul Mover Lyrics - Glenn Hughes
I guess you heard the news today
There's a rumble goin' down
I just got back from Monterey
There was music all around
And you may never see my face
But I help the weak and strong
Coz I don't have no resting place
And I've been here all along
Won't you let me say?
There's no hideaway
Can you hear me?
Do you understand?
I'm a soul mover
Comin' down to get your love
I'm a soul mover
Elevated from above
I socialize with debutantes
All the beggars and the thieves
You know you might have met me once
Coz I gave and you received

Tony Pulis has dramatically left his post as manager of Crystal Palace on the eve of the Premier League season, BBC Sport has confirmed.
It is thought the 56-year-old Welshman had become increasingly frustrated by the Eagles' transfer policy this summer, and with the general direction the club was taking.
The relationship between Pulis and Palace chairman Steve Parish had become increasingly strained, and following a meeting between the pair, it was announced that Pulis would leave the club with immediate effect by mutual consent.
Palace's activity in the transfer market is currently the responsibility sporting director Iain Moody, and it is said that Pulis had expressed his desire to take personal control of this aspect of club business.
While Palace have signed full back Martin Kelly from Liverpool, Cardiff City striker Fraizer Campbell and former Fulham defender Brede Hangeland this summer, a number of Pulis' other preferred targets have slipped through the net.
Both Kelly and Hangeland had just this week spoken of Pulis' influence in persuading them to move to Selhurst Park, and his departure has left the club in some turmoil.
Pulis' former assistant Keith Millen will take charge of the team for their Premier League opener against Arsenal, while coaches Gerry Francis and Dave Kemp have agreed to stay until after the curtain raising London derby.
Pulis arrived at Palace in November 2013 with the club bottom of the Premier League and seemingly heading for relegation. But he revived their fortunes to the extent that they finished 11th, their highest league placing since 1992, and Pulis was rewarded by being named Premier League Manager of the Season.

After putting it off for various reasons for at least a couple of years, I've finally switched back from Chromium to Firefox and I'm very glad I did so.
The recent UI change seems to have upset a lot of Firefox users but it was instrumental in prompting my return and I'm sure others will have felt the same; Firefox once again looks and feels like a modern browser.
I have to say also that it feels an imperial bucketload snappier than Chromium too. The exact opposite was one of the reasons I left in the first place.
Good job Firefolk :)
Recently I've been getting annoyed with the Debian Administration website; too often it would be slower than it should be considering the resources behind it.
As a brief recap I have six nodes:
The misc server is designed to display events. There is a node.js listener which receives UDP messages and stores them in a rotating buffer. The messages might contain things like "User bob logged in", "Slaughter ran", etc. It's a neat hack which gives a good feeling of what is going on cluster-wide.
I need to rationalize that code - but there's a very simple predecessor posted on github for the curious.
Anyway enough diversions, the database is tuned, and "small". The misc server is almost entirely irrelevent, non-public, and not explicitly advertised.
So what do the web nodes run? Well they run a lot. Potentially.
Each web node has four services configured:
Apache runs the main site, listening on *:8080.
One of the nodes will be special and will claim a virtual IP provided via ucarp. The virtual IP is actually the end-point visitors hit, meaning we have:Master HostOther hosts
Pound is configured to listen on the virtual IP and perform SSL termination. That means that incoming requests get proxied from "vip:443 -> vip:80". Varnish listens on "vip:80" and proxies to the back-end apache instances.
The end result should be high availability. In the typical case all four servers are alive, and all is well.
If one server dies, and it is not the master, then it will simply be dropped as a valid back-end. If a single server dies and it is the master then a new one will appear, thanks to the magic of ucarp, and the remaining three will be used as expected.
I'm sure there is a pathological case when all four hosts die, and at that point the site will be down, but that's something that should be atypical.
Yes, I am prone to over-engineering. The site doesn't have any availability requirements that justify this setup, but it is good to experiment and learn things.
So, with this setup in mind, with incoming requests (on average) being divided at random onto one of four hosts, why is the damn thing so slow?
We'll come back to that in the next post.
(Good news though; I fixed it ;)
Since we moved into our current house we have continually aimed to reduce our gas and electricity use year on year. We started with a number of behaviour changes relative to the previous owners - which saved 50% on gas an electricity on the first year. Since then we have gradually replaced old/worn out/inefficient things with modern/highest efficiency replacements/alternatives and significantly improved the insulation in the loft space and under the ground floor.Year kWh Total Electricity Gas kWh·m-2 2009 5 000 22 000 233 2010 3 000 19 000 188 2011 2 675 13 945 137.4 2012 3 526 9 606 108.5 2013 2 391 9 402 97.5 2014 1 295 3 749 41.7
The 2009 and 2010 years are estimated and 2010 contains both our and the previous owners usage. 2014 contains only 61% of the year, so isn't comparable yet. I could also do with a scaling factor for the weather as some winters are radically different from others and that makes a big difference to the winter gas figure.
Even though the 2009 figure is an esitmate it's still only about two thirds the EPC survey the house came with when we bought it of E/48 - 314 kWh·m-2, and we're already loads better the best estimate of D/55 - 275 kWh·m-2.
Today is Debian's 21st anniversary. Plenty of cities are celebrating Debian Day. If you are not close to any of those cities, there's still time for you to organize a little celebration!
Happy 21st birthday Debian!
This is a random post inspired by recent purchases. Some things we buy are practical, others are a little arbitrary.
I tend to avoid buying things for the sake of it, and have explicitly started decluttering our house over the past few years. That said sometimes things just seem sufficiently "cool" that they get bought without too much thought.
This entry is about two things.
A couple of years ago my bathroom was ripped apart and refitted. Gone was the old and nasty room, and in its place was a glorious space. There was only one downside to the new bathroom - you turn on the light and the fan comes on too.
When your wife works funny shifts at the hospital you can find that the (quiet) fan sounds very loud in the middle of the night and wakes you up..
So I figured we could buy a couple of LED lights and scatter them around the place - when it is dark the movement sensors turn on the lights.
These things are amazing. We have one sat on a shelf, one velcroed to the bottom of the sink, and one on the floor, just hidden underneath the toilet.
Due to the shiny-white walls of the room they're all you need in the dark.
By contrast my second purchase was a mistake - The Logitech Harmony 650 Universal Remote Control should be great. It clearly has the features I want - Able to power:
The problem is solely due to the horrific software. You program the device via an application/website which works only under Windows.
I had to resort to installing Windows in a virtual machine to make it run:# Get the Bus/ID for the USB device bus=$(lsusb |grep -i Harmony | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d 0) id=$(lsusb |grep -i Harmony | awk '{print $4}' | tr -d 0:) # pass to kvm kvm -localtime .. -usb -device usb-host,hostbus=$bus,hostaddr=$id ..
That allows the device to be passed through to windows, though you'll later have to jump onto the Qemu console to re-add the device as the software disconnects and reconnects it at random times, and the bus changes. Sigh.
I guess I can pretend it works, and has cut down on the number of remotes sat on our table, but .. The overwhelmingly negative setup and configuration process has really soured me on it.
There is a linux application which will take a configuration file and squirt it onto the device, when attached via a USB cable. This software, which I found during research prior to buying it, is useful but not as much as I'd expected. Why? Well the software lets you upload the config file, but to get a config file you must fully complete the setup on Windows. It is impossible to configure/use this device solely using GNU/Linux.
(Apparently there is MacOS software too, I don't use macs. *shrugs*)
In conclusion - Motion-activated LED lights, more useful than expected, but Harmony causes Discord.
My apologies that this is a few weeks late – but it still bears posting. John Oliver at HBO gave the best description of the net neutrality argument I have seen so far.
Following that broadcast, the FCC servers were, rather predictably, overwhelmed by the outraged response from the trolls that Oliver set loose.
Unfortunately, as John Naughton reports in the Observer, the FCC are unlikely to be moved by that.
Ladar Levison and Stephen Wyatt presented the upcoming Dark Internet Mail Environment (DIME) at Defcon22 this week. According to El Reg, Levison, who shut down Lavabit, his previous mail service rather than comply with FBI demands that he divulge the private SSL certificates used to encrypt traffic on that service, said:
"I'm not upset that I got railroaded and I had to shut down my business … I'm upset because we need a mil-spec cryptographic mail system for the entire planet just to be able to talk to our friends and family without any kind of fear of government surveillance".
I think that puts the problem into perspective.

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. - A 7 year old girl found without a pulse was revived by first responding firefighters after drowning in a family pool.
The girl was believed to be underwater between 5-7 minutes at her home at 3935 Woodlake Drive in the Bonita Bay community Saturday afternoon.
Bonita Springs firefighters, whose station is across the street, showed on scene 8 minutes before EMS did.
Lt. Eric Madden helped revive the seven year old with CPR and quick thinking paremedic work.
Investigators say the girl was in the pool with her 4 year old sibling while her parents cleaned the home.
She was found face down by her parents and pulled out of the pool until responders could arrive.
The girl has been placed in the ICU at North Collier Hospital and is listed in critical condition as of Saturday night.
