Strengths: Everything you need to know on how to build your own wheels clearly written so just follow what Rodger says and you have your hand built wheels, excellent value and I can't believe I would be able to do it but I have I definitely recommend this book.
Weaknesses: None

Weaknesses: Haven't found any!

Weaknesses: None
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: May 29, 2014
Strengths: Everything you need to know to build reliable wheels
Clear and simple explanations
Provides enough technical background to give an understanding of wheel design and building technique
Also debunks some wheel-building myths
Weaknesses: None
Bottom Line:
I recently got stuck on spoke lacing for a Shimano disc-braked wheel. I e-mailed Roger who replied quickly, reassured me all was OK and gave me access to a free upgrade to edition 6.02. How good is that?!
If you are going to build your own wheels - buy this manual, you will not regret it!
Date Reviewed: May 10, 2014
Strengths: Comprehensive and easy to understand wheel building guide. Great illustrations, and good instructions on how to DIY make wheel building tools like a truing stand, nipple holder, dishing tools etc.
Free upgrades to all future versions. I bought version 3 in 2006, but now have the 6.02 version from 2013. It just keeps on improving.
Jobst Brandt's book "The Bicycle Wheel" is the authoritative pioneer work on the subject, but Roger Musson's book is the best book for novice wheel builders.
Weaknesses: He uses a sloppy and mixed up terminology when it comes to "stress relieving", Jobst Brandt is much clearer and correct on that subject.
Bottom Line:

- explains basics without going philosophical
- down to earth without any marketing ramble as other books
Weaknesses: - It be cool to be able to buy a printed version

Bottom Line:

Excellent value.
You get book upgrades free.
Date Reviewed: January 28, 2014
Strengths: Although I've yet to build my first wheels, I've found this book invaluble for ironing out those things that seem to crop up with factory built wheels, ie. correcting tension, why do the spokes ping etc.
It's a very well written book that demystifies the whole process of wheel building and debunks all the "dark art" myths that bike shops sometimes give you.
I'm actually looking forward to building my first set of wheels now where as in the past I wouldn't have even contemplated it. Not a book for a complete novice as it does require the reader to be familiar with some basic bike mechanics, although there are plenty of explanations and tips, eg. "measure twice cut once" etc. An excellent book, great value for money and worth having as a reference for bike mechanics even if you aren't going to build a set of wheels.
Weaknesses: None really, even though it does concentrate on MTB wheels the author explains that all the principles apply to road, track, BMX etc.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: January 2, 2014
Strengths: Well written, clearly explained, easy and interesting to read.
Weaknesses: Perhaps a bit more focused on mountain bikes than road wheels.
Bottom Line:
I've also had a couple of questions pop up as I've been working on different wheels and I've emailed the author who's been very helpful and quick to reply.
I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone interested in building wheels.
Date Reviewed: December 25, 2013
Strengths: Well laid out and clear guide to building your own wheels
Weaknesses: None

Date Reviewed: December 2, 2013
Strengths: There is no other book or website which gave me correct or clear info for calculating spoke length

Bottom Line:
This book is 100% for everyone wanting to build bicycle wheels even experienced builders are likely to find this book valuable.
Also there is no other book or website which gave me correct or clear info for calculating spoke length.
Date Reviewed: November 20, 2013

Any questions you might have are answered via e-mail in no time.
Weaknesses: Can't remember.
Bottom Line:
sort of black magic to me. Then I bought this book and after few days I was able to build new wheels for my urban commuter. After 2500-3000 km wheels are still perfect and those are only two wheels I ever built.

Australian treasure Kasey Chambers had the proverbial golden road laid in front of her in 1999, as her debut The Captain caught fire in her native land as well as in the United States. Thanks to her effortless, urgent blend of country, rock and folk, Chambers was rapidly saddled with the "Next Lucinda Williams" tag.
The next few albums would give the world more of what it wanted as Chambers became an automatic chart-topper Down Under. But, judging by what came after, it's clear that Chambers was ready for an excursion off of the well-traveled road.
In 2008, Chambers, along with husband Shane Nicholson, delivered one of the great roots albums in recent years. Rattlin' Bones stands as a clear-course vision that's loving, heart-breaking and intimately familial. Shedding the insurgent country skin of her past, and touring the U.S. less than she did in her younger days, Chambers made it clear on this record that her role as mother and wife was of greater import than fulfilling American's need for another country-rock darling.

Of course, Chambers still knows how to plug in her guitar. And now she's back in the States, touring again. So maybe she still has some fight left in her yet. Her upcoming release, Little Bird, is already earning raves as Chambers sets sail for an all-too-short tour of the great 48.

- 0Apr 30, '11 by jlynn2303Thank you! It has been so difficult finding work as a new grad. I am now working in LTC (just started) and planned on trying to rack up certifications while working and continuing to look for a hospital job. I looked at where you did your certifications and it is, of course, in California. I am looking for a local provider and notice that I can get certified for many of these things online. That's kind of....um, worrying. RE-certification I can see, but initial? For ACLS? And I'd really like practice in IV, but the local classes are all on dummies, not real people. I get the problem with practicing on real people, but having tried both dummies and real people - they are very different! :-) For one, the dummies already have holes in their arms where hundreds of students have stuck them, they don't complain and you don't actually know if you are going to get any blood or if you have gone through the vein because there's nothing there!

Long LayoverNov 24, 20141Hello! I have a 19 hour (yes, not a typo) layover in JFK before heading across to Johannesburg. Can I leave the airport? How long before my flight should I come back? Do I have to pick up my checked baggage if the flight TO JFK is domestic but the flight AWAY is not? Thank you!!buggerMon, Nov 24Yes, you can leave the airport. You should be back at the airport 2 hours before your flight. Yes, considering the length of your connection you will probably have to pick up your baggage at JFK after your first flight and bring it back later. The only possible exception might be if you are arriving in the early morning and departing in the late evening of the same day. Ask the agent in your origin city.ZAPMon, Nov 24

Presuming that Norway is a Schengen country, you may proceed to your connecting gate. In both cases your transfer time should suffice.sunov14Sun, Nov 16

She will need to head back through security and get to Terminal B to catch her departing flight. I have 2 questions: a) Where does she go after arriving in Terminal A to meet me? b) Where do I go after parking to go meet her? Thank you very much for any help!klhollomonFri, Nov 7

erm no, no and no. Dunno?
Just been looking at Netsupport Protect at http://www.netsupportprotect.com/ & http://www.netsupportsoftware.com/re...uk_bro_web.pdf Is this product the same as ranger becuase Netsupport own them don't they? Also there isnt much that it does that grop policy can't do. So why buy it?
erm no, no and no. Dunno?
There is some overlap with group policy's but not everyone uses them and there is also some things that Protect offers that group policy's don't. One of the nice things with Protect is that it integrates with NetSupport School. You can turn off the restrictions on the fly when the Tutor views the Student. Handy if you want to make changes or show them something which would otherwise be restricted by group policy settings.
We don't 'own' Sentinel (developers of the Ranger suite) RM do, they OEM NetSupport School to use as part of their product.
ok at the CLC we used to use a product called ranger to monitor the kids, why does it have the same logo as netsupport and why does netsupport pickup ranger clients?
One of the components of the Ranger Suite is their Range Remote Control which is what you must have been using to monitor the kids.
Sentinel buy this from us and stick their own branding and name on it (refered to as an 'OEM'). Thats why NetSupport picks up Ranger clients as its own.
Just to add to the confusion RM also OEM our NetSupport School and sell it as part of their Community Connect product as RM Tutor3. RM now own Sentinel but keep the two products seperate.
right i think i get it
Throw in application level activity logging; ala Winsuite and I would buy it!
Ahh, ChrisP, you want NetSupport DNA for that
err, I thought that was a helpdesk ?

NetSupport DNA is a enterprise management package along the lines of Microsoft's SMS. It does application and internet metering to a central database so you can produce reports like you listed.
It isn't typically used in education but I know some people on here are using it.
We do also have a Helpdesk product called NetSupport HelpDesk (surprise, surprise) this is a web based system for logging support calls.
However NSS does keep (and now automatically saves) application and internet history but it doesn't combine the information to give you a single log.
What's the cheapest method for a secondary school to buy NSS?
1. as NSS
2. as Ranger Remote Control
3. as RM Tutor 3
Somehow i doubt it's option 3 lol!
lol all you want but if got RM CC3 network then option 3 is cheapest solution as I did look into it got quotes from nss and from rm. RM came out cheaper.
But on serious note to get option two need an ranger network and to get option 3 guess what need rm network.
Hence why they are called OEM's so your only option is option 1.
Although not involved in sales and pricing personally it makes sense that option 1 would be cheaper as all you are buying is NSS.
Best bet would be to call one of sales people to get a quote.
You don't need to be on a Ranger network to buy/use Ranger Remote Control. I know many sites that just use Ranger Remote Control and not the other Ranger products.
I stand corrected on the RM 'lol' comment. Looking at the websites:
Tutor 3 'tutor' program is £26
Tutor 3 client licence is £19
This is how they used to sell NETop (Tutor 2) with separate tutor/client prices.
Ranger Remote Control (Sentinel)
100 PC licence (any mixture of tutor/clients) = £2400
This is £24 per licence.
So, assuming 3 IT Rooms with 30 PCs each + some spare licences
RM Tutor 3 = 3 * £26 + 97 * £19 would be £1921
Ranger Remote Control would be £2400 , albeit with some flexibility on amount of Tutors/Clients.
Therefore, RM is £479 cheaper. Which i have to say, i am amazed at and apologise profusely.
I think also you don't have to be running a CC3 network either, although it clearly helps with deployment etc.
NETsupport don't publish a retail price on their web site so I am guessing they would not want to upset their OEM partner RM (who of course own Sentinel) and their price would be at least identical.
Whoever you buy it from, its a great product and i am glad RM saw sense and ditched NETop for it.
Ranger I stand corrected on as not a ranger expert....
Unfortunately you do have to rm network to buy rm version (I am lead to believe it is due to licensing deal that netsupport and rm struck so it dosn't hurt netsupports sales etc etc)

Silhouette detection is a key issue in many non-photorealistic rendering algorithms. Silhouettes play an important role in shape recognition because they provide one of the main cues for figure-to-ground distinction. However, since silhouettes are view-dependent, they must be computed per frame. There has been a lot of research tailoredto find an efficient way to do this in real time, although most algorithms require either a precomputation, and/or multiple rendering passes. In this paper we present an algorithm that is able to generate silhouettes in realtime by using the geometric shader stage. In contrast to other approaches, our silhouettes do not suffer from discontinuities. A second contribution is the definition of a continuous set of texture coordinates that allows us coherently texture the object, independently on the length and orientation of the edges. This texture coordinates are also robust to translation and does not produce sudden changes during rotation.

Didn't remove a single hair... I followed the instructions and tried both room temperature and warmed wax didn't change a thing. I even tried it on my face, since I figured the hair is more fine and easier to remove, but nothing the Veet strips for face worked better. :/ Waste of money. I have thick coarse black hair if that helps.
Avoid this product it doesn't do anything. At least it is easy to wash off.
this product worked fairly decently once i got the hang of the plastic strips and the fact that you literally have to put the thinnest amount of wax possible for it to remove the hairs... but by the time i got the hang of it, i was out of strips. i hope they start to include a bigger roll of strips or something... i only got from the knee down waxed on ONE leg. i wouldn't mind buying this again because i like that it washes off with water (unlike the parissa wax i tried the other week that was SUPER messy) but i'd stop by sally beauty supply and buy extra strips or something....
Use paper you guyz that funcky ass plastic shit don't work....try paper promise it workz
I love this waxing kit! It works very well in removing all the hairs and leaves the skin feeling smooth and soft. It is important to read and use according to the instructions. I'm not sure howcome this product have so many bad reviews. I use it on my arms, underarms, legs, and bikini area. One thing to remember, that the instructions also say, is that use a small amount and spread it on the hairs. They should get flatted out with no extra smooth shiny layer of wax on top; if it's there, it means you have too much wax there and sweep some off with the spatula. Do keep in mind to wash your skin prior to waxing so that it can be oil-free, tht's how the wax can work more effectively. In my opinion,
The Pros:
-I used NADS before, which was also a great product, but twice the price of this. This was around eleven dollars at my Walgreens pharmacy whereas NADS was around 20 or 21.
-It can work at room temperature, but I prefer heating it just enough to make it less dense and easy to work with.
-A roll of transparent strips is provided, and they aren't stiff. I like to reuse some of the left over wax from the strip that I just used on one side as it helps save the roll; ofcourse reusing doesn't guarantee taking off all the hairs.
-All the hairs come off as long as the strip is rubbed well and the skin is held taught, the strip should be peeled off quickly, parallel to the skin, instead of ripping it away from the skin.
-It can be rinsed off wit water.
-Wooden spatulas provided, and a complete instructions manuel.
-My skin is sensitive to heat and the wax doesn't have to be too hot to use.
-It comes with a soothing after-wax gel which leaves the skin smooth.
-Results last up to 3-4 weeks.
-The wax has lasted me a little over 6 months since I bought it.
The Cons:
-The skin looks like it has goosebumps after being freshly waxed, this can last for about 30 mins to an hour.
-I haven't experienced this before, but I have a feeling that I might have to repurchase the pack to get more strips if I do run out of them.
In case anybody ever experienced minor pore-size blood after waxing, I had this happen, but maybe because my skin is not adapted to this kind of pressure from waxing although I've been waxing for about a year. Also, it isn't totally fragrance-free as they say, but there is a mild sugary smell, I don't mind it.
This is the worst product - it does not work *at all*. I do not have especially coarse or difficult hair to remove, and have had lots of success with other kits. This literally did not remove a *single* hair. I tried rubbing the strips between my hands, and when that didn't work, warmed it up with a blow dryer, which still did not work. Ridiculous, don't waste your money.
I thought maybe I was just unskilled in the art of waxing, but based on other reviews here, it simply doesn't work. I don't think a single hair came out.
This did not work at all. As a veteran self-waxer, I used to use the Sally Hansen "Brazilian Wax" but they must have changed their formula because suddenly hairs were not coming out like they used to, just breaking off or left behind. So I decided to find a new waxing product, one that wouldn't be difficult to use and would get the job done. That's when I came across this waste of money....and time!
This is NOT your classic sugar wax. Sally Hansen used to make a sugar wax that was pretty decent. I don't know what this is. All I know is that when I applied product and pulled the strip as directed, only a few hairs came out, the rest were left behind in a sticky mess. In short, the wax did not come off my skin. The only bonus is that it washes off easily with water. They use these weird clear plastic strips instead of the traditional cloth ones, and let me tell you, they suck. They don't do a good job of adhering to the wax at all. So I tried some cloth strips that I had, which worked a little better but still didn't get the hair.
I wish that Sally Hansen would go back to their traditional formula for the "Brazilian Wax", because that always used to work well for me. Save your money on this one ladies. The search for the perfect waxing kit continues...
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
After trying the Sally Hansen lavender wax kit (the lavender wax is VERY hard to clean up/remove) I tried this honey wax kit. LOVE IT! Clean up is a snap because the wax washes off with water - no scrubbing or peeling off required - and depending on where you use the wax, you can even jump in the shower to rinse off instead of your body parts being glued together until you're able to pry the wax off. I hope this honey wax kit is never discontinued! I forgot to mention - this honey wax doesn't have to be heated; you can use it straight out of the tub, which my previously heated-wax-burned-skin appreciates!
This product did not work at all!! I used it on my brows and my upper lip and it didn't grab any hairs. Next time I'll buy the regular Sally Hansen wax strips.
I have very fine hairs so I figured I could use anything to remove my upper lip hair. No such luck. I tried my upper lip with multiple strips and nothing came off (it FELT like something came off, but my dark stache hairs were still there). I tried between my brows, and it only removed the blonde hairs, not the dark ones. I also tried the hairs above my bellybutton, again the blonde hairs were removed but not the darker ones. What a waste of a product. I did like that it was clear, however, and I could see my hairs embedded in the wax before yanking the strip off (to find that no hairs were removed - arg!).
Update: Few days later, I discover my upper lip has broken out in several small white pimples! Ahh!

regarding ownership of files inside the different web directories
hi there.
I am using ispcfg 2.XX latest version on a server that was installed by following the perfect debian sarge install.
My question is the following:
I am hosting several wordpress installations, for me and friends. Now I have some fundamental understanding problem.
ISPCFG uses i.e. web1_user1 as the format for usernames and web1 as the format for group names. now if I, logged in with the admin account ftp/ssh into my account, all files I create/modify are owned by me and my group aka similar to doing a chown -R web1_user1:web1 /web
BUT to use the wordpress core update and plugin update features, I have to make www-data (the apache2 user used on Debian) the owner, thus enabling any php script, i.e. the wordpress plugin my FTP to write to all files on the server in any of the wordpress installations as they are now all owned by www-data...
I mean now any web can run an online editor and point it to another web-directory and thus modify other users files, as they are all owned by www-data...
I feel there is a solution to this please point me into the right directory or ask for any relevant data I can provide you with.

The Eastern Chalukyas or Chalukyas of Vengi (Kannada: ಪೂರ್ವ ಚಾಲುಕ್ಯರು, Telugu: తూర్పు చాళుక్యులు), were a South Indian dynasty whose kingdom was located in the present day Andhra Pradesh. Their capital was Vengi (Pedavegi and Denduluru, near Eluru) and their dynasty lasted for around 500 years from the 7th century until c. 1130 C.E. when the Vengi kingdom merged with the Chola empire. The Vengi kingdom was continued to be ruled by Eastern Chalukyan kings under the protection of the Chola empire until 1189 C.E., when the kingdom succumbed to the Hoysalas and the Yadavas.

A Surprise Elopement in Picturesque SF
Shasta and Rebecca planned to get married later this year, but a spontaneous decision to elope turned into a beautiful ceremony and a picturesque jaunt around the city.
Shasta planned every detail in very little time. She even found her wedding dress the day before. The ceremony was held at San Francisco's Civic Center Courthouse, which made for epic photography filled with sweeping staircases and enormous windows that let in dreamy swaths of light. Joined by their closest friends, Rebecca and Shasta exchanged sweet, tear-jerking vows.
After the ceremony, the wedding party took the F-line to Boulevard Restaurant for lunch. Then headed out to the Embarcadero to wander around the waterfront, before making their way downtown to a rooftop garden for a grand finale.

Europe Stocks Slip; AstraZeneca Rejects 'Final' Pfizer Offer
LONDON (The Deal) -- British drugs company AstraZeneca (AZN) on Monday rejected a revised $116 billion approach from larger rival Pfizer (PFE), which the U.S. company had said was a final offer. AstraZeneca Chairman Leif Johansson told a radio interviewer this morning he had "no idea" if his board's rejection meant the bid was now dead and said it was now up to shareholders to decide if they would accept Pfizer's cash and shares offer. But the market wasn't taking any chances. AstraZeneca shares were down 11.7% mid-morning at 42.6 pounds - a long way off Pfizer's offer, which values the stock at 55 pounds a share.
The pharmaceuticals drama -- plus a 2.04% slump for miner Rio Tinto (RIO) and some uncomfortable April footfall figures for the leading supermarkets -- were enough to drag down the London market. The FTSE 100 was down 0.68% at 6,810. But airlines including the British and Spanish operator International Consolidated Airlines Group and budget carrier Easyjet rose on the news that Irish budget rival Ryanair had done better than expected despite announcing its first fall in profits in five years. Ryanair was up 5.68% at 6.70 euros a share.
In Paris, French bank Societe Generale lost nearly 3% after Jerome Kerviel, the rogue trader whose unauthorized positions cost the bank about 6.7 billion euros in 2008, dramatically turned himself over to the police at the Franco-Italian border. Kerviel had walked back to France from Rome after an audience with the Pope in February. He now faces three years in prison.
In Paris, the CAC 40 was down 0.74% at 4,423, while in Frankfurt the DAX was off 0.82% at 9,549.
Over in Asia, fears of a slowdown in the Chinese property market and a tightening of shadow banking rules even as the authorities urge the state sector to relax mortgage lending criteria, led to falls in China and Hong Kong. The Shanghai Composite Index closed down 1.05% at 2,005.18, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index was off 0.04% at 22,704.5. Meanwhile the possible effects of a Chinese slowdown on iron ore consumption hit big mining companies and pushed Australia's S&P ASX 200 down 1.28% to 5,408.98. In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 closed down 0.64% at 14,006.44.

BlackBerry 10 Skype app is coming soon, but will be ported from the Android app
Those who rely on Skype and have purchased, or will purchase the BlackBerry Z10, can't be terribly pleased with the message that Skype has written on its blog. Saying that BlackBerry 10 users will soon be able to download and use Skype, the next line gives away the secret. "We are working closely with BlackBerry to ensure the Skype for Android app runs great in the BlackBerry 10 environment." And while some might shrug their shoulders, Android apps do not perfectly translate over to BB10 especially since the version of Android used is about two years old; eventually BlackBerry hopes to support Android 4.1 apps.
Images from Skype's Android app
This version of Skype for BlackBerry will soon becoming to BlackBerry World. For those unfamiliar with Skype, it offers free Skype-to-Skype video and phone calls. For calls, SMS and IMs made to non Skype mobile or landlines, the pricing is cheaper than the big guys (not that Skype is small, mind you). BlackBerry Z10 users will be able to video chat using BBM to other BlackBerry 10 users, but that is a small drop in the bucket compared to the number of potential people reachable via Skype's video chat capabilities.

I haven't had any trouble with it on Android. It manages my group conversations nicely and I can make voice calls on it fine. Cant speak for video calls, never had a need for it honestly.

I hope it's only temporary situation. Native apps are always better than an Android port.
Blackberry needs to have as many (or at least the most used ones) cross-platform Messaging apps in their BB10 ecosystem if they want BB10 to be a success.
BlackBerry 10 Skype app is coming soon, but will be ported from the Android app

Man shot in chest in home invasion robbery
Updated On: Apr 22 2013 10:45:20 AM EDT
One man was shot in the chest in an apparent home invasion robbery.
Cincinnati police responded to the 1600 block of Dewey Avenue in West Price Hill Sunday night.
Officers said two suspects entered the home, stole money and shot Michael O'Toole in the chest.
Investigators were using a K9 unit to track the suspects after they fled through the backyard.
O'Toole was taken to UC Medical Center where he was in serious condition.
No other information was immediately available.

A fresh crop of concerts, theatrical productions and art exhibitions aren't all that's new at Mesa Arts Center this season. The 5-year-old complex has a brand-new director, Cindy Ornstein, a New York native who worked for the past 10 years as head of the Flint (Mich.) Cultural Center Corporation, a nine-building campus with a 2,000-seat auditorium, history museum, automotive gallery and planetarium that hosted Broadway shows and music, dance, theater and education programs.
Ornstein, who moved to Mesa from Michigan, also oversees the Arizona Museum of Natural History and Arizona Museum for Youth as the city's arts and culture director. She started the job July 6.
Here, she answers a few questions about the direction MAC is heading under her leadership.
Q: What made you feel that Mesa was a place where you could have an impact on the arts and culture scene?
A: There is a strong sense of commitment to arts and culture here. From the mayor on down, it's impressive how many people really value the contribution that arts and culture can make to the community. That was very important to me. Also, the fact that there was already such a high-quality program and venue here. There was a foundation to build on to make something even more vibrant, and that was a wonderful opportunity to come into someplace that had so much good already.
Q: What is your vision for Mesa?
A: Historically, the arts have had barriers — real or imagined — that make some people perceive the arts as not being for them. One huge goal of mine is to create a sense of real ownership of the arts by the whole community. So, reaching out to involve the community in the planning of events and activities, increasing awareness of the resources that are here to serve the community, and reaching out more broadly into the community and into the schools — those are all components of creating a sense that the arts are a critical anchor for the community's revitalization and development as a place where people want to live, work and play.
Q: Mesa Arts Center has a history of presenting both big-name artists and obscure acts that a lot of people have never heard of. What kind of lineup is ideal for MAC?
A: Well, you have to remember that the acts have to do, in part, with what size venue you are and, therefore, what kind of acts you can accommodate. And one person's household name isn't another's. In a home where there are country music fans, Vince Gill is a huge name. If you're a classical music fan, you really don't get much bigger than Lang Lang or Joshua Bell. For jazz fans, Jazz at Lincoln Center and Wynton Marsalis are big. Occasionally, we have things that are household names for everyone, but that doesn't happen that often because, with the largest venue we have being under 1,600 seats, we're not a baseball stadium. Huge rock acts aren't going to come to a 1,600-seat house.
But what we do is deliver really high-quality in a wide variety of art forms, so there is something for everyone. We really want to mix mainstream entertainment and things that allow audiences to discover and experience something new. You need to have some well-known names to attract the people for whom that is their principle interest, and hopefully those people will want to come back even if they aren't fans of jazz or Indian music or blues or country or many of the other things we have going on. Hopefully we create an audience that's receptive to trying something new, something outside their comfort zone, because whatever it is, they know they're going to get a high-quality experience here.
Q: Who are you looking forward to seeing this coming season?
A: I have very broad taste myself. I'm really, really excited to see Nikki Yanofsky. She's not a household name to most people, but before ever knowing I would take this job, I was bowled over by her performance in the closing ceremonies of the Olympics. Ravi Shankar. He was the one who introduced Indian music to the Beatles. He's a huge international star and was probably the first formal concert I ever went to; I saw him at the age of 12 at Lincoln Center with my family, and I haven't seen him since. Savion Glover. He's probably the preeminent living star of tap dance. He's had hugely successful solo shows on Broadway, and he's incredibly brilliant. He takes the art of tap dance to a whole new level and does such innovative things with it. He's a percussionist with his feet. I'm also really excited to see Lang Lang, the superstar of classical music. He's supposed to give a wildly amazing virtuoso performance, and I've never seen him. The Aluminum Show. You may not have heard of it, but if you go to YouTube and put it in, you'll see what a wild, diverse, entertaining show it's going to be, where it's all about aluminum — dancing aluminum, acrobatic aluminum. It's a big spectacle, like "Stomp" or one of the Cirque shows.
Q: Will programs like "Shop Mesa, Get the Arts" or dinner-and-a-show package deals continue this season?
A: Absolutely. One thing people can do to try something new with less financial risk is the Mesa Bucks program. They can shop anyplace in Mesa, and use their receipts to get discounts on tickets. (For information on the Mesa Bucks program, call the Mesa Arts Center box office at [480] 644-6500.)
We also want to grow the opportunity for package deals and discounts. We want to work with the restaurants to make sure they're open before the shows, which is when most people are going to want to have dinner, and also try to create opportunities for staying afterwards and having fun. When I came during my interviews and saw Keb Mo, it was a Second Friday night. I went to Second Friday beforehand, and when I came out, De La Cruz (Bistro) had a jazz group, and the place was packed with people who had been at the show. It was really fun.You come out full of energy, and you want to keep having a good time, so we'd like to work with merchants to make sure there are places where people can do that. We want to create that sense of vitality that comes from having multiple things going on at once, and we want to work toward that to make sure local merchants are at the heart of it.

True to size. I wear a medium in volcom, roxy, nikita, DC and this medium fit like they do. Good length on it. A nice cotton material, not see through or super thin like a lot of tees are turning into. The magenta is a great color, the site really shows the color well. Good way to wear a tee but not have a baggy fit one on. Big fan of this shirt.

Great price and great t-shirt Really an excellent t-shirt to wear both at the gym or casual. Fits true to size and the material is very comfortable. The garment is well tailored and stitched and holds up perfect in the wash and low heat drier (really be careful on heat setting as you may otherwise damage the material - this is meant to be air dried or very low heat). I would recommend this t-shirt. October 31, 2014

The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth
"The geek shall inherit the Earth." Such is the ending of New York Times' columnist David Brooks fascinating piece titled "The Alpha Geeks" (May 23, 2008). In it, Brooks offers a back-of-the-napkin history on the rise of geeks and the current power of geek culture. Given its brevity, the article is amazingly insightful and comprehensive, as most of his pieces are. Though Brooks is a vowed conservative, I find that he has a way of transcending partisanship and thus nailing insights unlike few other columnists on either side of the aisle.
Anyway, to the column itself, Brooks explains how nerd culture was supplanted by geek culture over time - originally, a nerd was a geek with better grades, he says. However, later geekdom acquired its own cool counterculture as cultural elements like Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons, The Talking Heads and Vampire Weekend found followings among the geek-minded. Eventually, as it became possible to earn tons of money in IT, Brooks observes that "A geek possessed a certain passion for specialized knowledge, but also a high degree of cultural awareness and poise that a nerd lacked."
Brooks goes on to describe more about the rise of geek culture, explaining how "new technology created a range of mental playgrounds where the new geeks [can] display their cultural capital", how geeks have "created a new definition of what it means to be cool", how there is a new "cool geek fashion style" and how "news that being a geek is cool has apparently not permeated either junior high schools or the Republican Party." These are just snippets, so I suggest you go and read the details for yourself. Fascinating stuff.
Who knew we were so damn cool?

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

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

I have now got the censornet server working how I need it to be. I was wondering if I can test it out on like 10 computers. I don't want to put it into the global settings in RMMC for the whole school. Even when I do roll it out properly I only want to student computers to go through the new proxy and not staff workstations or laptops.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Do you have Type Manager linked in with the RMMC? If so you could create a custom usertype configured with the new proxy, and assign that to certain users to test out.

November warmer, wetter than normal
November was warmer and wetter than normal in Champaign-Urbana, according to statistics from the Illinois State Water Survey.
The average temperature for the month was 45.7 degrees, which was 4.4 degrees above normal. The average high was 54.4 degrees, greater than the normal of 50.6 degrees. The average low was 36.5 degrees, 4.5 degrees greater than the average low.
The highest temperature in November was 73 degrees on Nov. 14 (one of four 70-degree days last month), the lowest was 23 degrees on Nov. 30. There were just nine days last month when the temperature dropped below 32 degrees, far below the November normal of 15 days.
It was the 12th warmest November in local weather history, said Jim Angel, state climatologist.
Through the first 11 months of 2011, seven months had above average temperatures. Only January, February, May and October did not.
For the first time since May, precipitation in Champaign-Urbana was above average. The water survey reported 4.72 inches of rain, about an inch greater than the November average of 3.68 inches, and the 15th wettest November on record, according to Angel.
No measurable snowfall was reported, but there was a trace of snow on three days. The November normal for snowfall locally is 0.9 inch.

A Brutal Life Update
Well well well.
What a crazy 6 months I've had. I'm about to be very open with you.
I got a new job in April. It was wonderful…better pay, more hours, amazing benefits. Then they bought out another company just a few weeks into my employment and my work doubled, my social life became practically nonexistent, and I stopped taking care of myself. The stress became nearly unbearable when I took over the department. I was slowly getting the hang of things but was still finding the stress hard to manage after a couple months, so I began going to a therapist to help me. This was a job I liked despite how hard it was, and I wanted to do better. A month after I started therapy, I was let go from my job completely unexpectedly. I was given a few reasons for it, but I know the real reasons. I don't want to get into them, but they strongly misunderstood me and apparently decided to let me go instead of talking to me.
It's been over two weeks now. I was really, really upset about it at first. I guess it was a good thing I was already going to therapy. Now I'm bitter. I see more of the overall picture now and feel that they were really wrong, ignorant, and inconsiderate in their decision. It wasn't even a good business decision. I've never been let go before and it was a big blow to my ego, but I'm confident enough in my work ethic and the situation to know they were wrong. They claimed they were reorganizing the department and were at least nice enough to say my job was eliminated so I could get unemployment…but whatever helps them sleep at night.
Losing the job was also a blessing in disguise. After starting therapy, I learned a LOT about myself. A lot of issues I've been struggling with for years are all related to one event that happened early in my childhood. It's something I should have gotten help for a long time ago, but I didn't realize the impact it had on me. The job was a big distraction from working on my problems, plus I wasn't taking care of myself…I was barely eating or sleeping, and I rarely thought of anything other than work. Now that I'm home all the time, I'm cooking regularly again, I'm sleeping a bit better, and I'm able to take time for myself. The therapy has led me into a very deep dark hole of sadness and depression; I was told that it would get hard before it got easier. "The night is darkest just before the dawn." But I'm getting there.
I'm not saying all this to bring you down; I promise I'm slowly starting to do better. I'm working on a lot of projects that keep me occupied and make me feel productive (embroidery, jigsaw puzzles, I have a children's comic in the works). My current big project is reopening my Etsy store; I've renamed it and will be designing, creating, and selling small, simple cross stitch/embroidery pieces. I've already got a few designs drawn out, I just have to get some supplies and make them! I LOVE the new name though. A lot of the pieces will be really nerdy (Doctor Who, Zelda, Mario, Star Wars, Twin Peaks) so I spent a couple hours brainstorming random words having to do with fiber art that I could combine with something geeky to get a cute name. I had a few very good ones, but when I came up with the one I ended up choosing, it was no contest. I have renamed my shop Fiber, Walk with Me. I'm super excited about ittttt. I'll let you know as I post things to it.
This entry is pretty much a novella now. I'm hoping to keep up with this blog more now that I have a lot more spare time on my hands. Especially now that I'm actually embracing that spare time.
Until next time!

The £17.6m redevelopment of Scotstoun Stadium in Glasgow is expected to be completed this autumn, and the facility will now be host to the city's only professional rugby team.
It will become the training ground of the Glasgow Warriors rugby team as a result of a partnership between Scottish Rugby, Glasgow City Council and Sport Glasgow.
The Warriors will have access to a grass training pitch, a 3G all-weather training pitch, a strength and conditioning suite, a 100m indoor running track, a physiotherapy suite, changing rooms, a player lounge and a meeting/video analysis room.
Sean Lineen, the Warriors' head coach, said: "Our proposed moved to Scotstoun in 2010 will provide the club with a home for its players, coaches and staff in a location where they have all the facilities they require. We will, however, continue to play our home matches at Firhill.
"We are club on the up and to have direct access to both grass pitches and an all-weather surface here in addition to all strength, conditioning and medical facilities is a major boost to our future ambitions. We have world class players and we will soon have the facilities to match."
The stadium will also boast new grandstands, indoor athletics training facilities and a new fitness suite, while the existing 400m track will be renovated and the café, foyer and reception areas extended.
Scottish Rugby's director of communications and public affairs, Dominic McKay, added: "Scottish Rugby has shown that it is fully committed to rugby in Glasgow and we look forward to working alongside Culture and Sport Glasgow and Glasgow City Council to help the region fully embrace the Warriors and the sport of rugby throughout the wider community."

@Max: I did not know that this cool gadget did not make enough noise (news) yet in US. Last year, I was part of the organizing committee for organizing an annual tech day for the embedded engineers in our org. While we were scratching our head to decide on what should be a cool memento idea for the paper presenters, somebody came-up with the idea of Power bank as the gift (there are some Indian companies manufacturing this too). Everybody liked this idea and people who had got this on that day also expressed happiness!! :)

I HATE that I can't save the recipe in my recipe box.

Pat, why can't you save it? By "pinching" it, it saves it, but I was also confused until I clicked on the tab marked "my kitchen", then my recipes were all safely preserved in there, as was any recipe I'd "pinched". I kid of like the pinching process because I'm getting my daughter involved in JAP, and this is an easy way to send recipes her way.

Oh, OK, thank you.

I brewed a batch of honey ale a couple weeks ago and decided on a whim to add 1oz of lemon verbena leaf to it. It is readily apparent that 1oz was WAY to much, as all I can taste in the samples is the sour/tart lemon leaf flavor covering up everything else. How long should/could I wait to let the flavor mellow?
let 'er sit in primary for 3-4 weeks at least, then bottle as usual. Let the bottles sit for 3 weeks, as usual.
...as usual...as usual...as usual... see a trend?
Let it ride and taste a bottle here or there after the third week and see where it's at. The taste now may be very different after it sits in a bottle for a while. Only experimenting will let you know.
You may think it's the greatest beer ever at 2 weeks in the bottle, or at one year in the bottle.
Keep notes for future reference so you can brew it again if you like it!
I have used too much lime zest in a beer and it took about 3 months in the bottle for it to settle down.

Citrus is one of those notes that can go south really fast (as in too much). I have used way too much lemon in one of my batches, and it took a good couple of months to mellow out, and even then, it wasn't as mellow as I wanted it. I tend to stay away from citrus now, specifically for that reason.
