I recognize 95% of you have described. In europe we have 4 countries using one database and use 5 jobservers (1 for every country and 2 for Netherlands --> VMs) to get the work done. (+/- 50 engineers)
Our company, Parker Hannifin has a Platinum contract (global) with Autodesk. All Autodesk products can be used unlimited. So licenses are not an issue for us. BUT we still have big problems with job servers.
The message
a visualization file cannot be generated for a non cad file.
is something I am working on today. We recieve it once every 3,4 months. Till now we have no idea why.
Reregister inventor sometimes helps. Updating with a SP sometimes helps....
I asked for a priority of tasks for the job server as well. dwf should be made during the night (so time planning should be possible.)
After creating a new version by the jobserver, the remarks placed by the engineer in the field comment are 'lost'. (We place the text 'To be checked by xxx" when the state = For Review. A user can search on this in order to know what he has to check this day. But an update of teh title block by the jobserver creates a new version and we can not search on this info anymore.
Has anyone set up the Job Processor to run on a Virtual Machine?
We have two job processors running, one on an old XP CAD workstation and another on a VM in our server cluster. Aside from the usual (and frequent) issues with the job processor the VM one hangs up on several times a day and the only way to get it going again is to kill the Inventor process. This requires someone to constantly monitor this VM which is not something we enjoy doing.
It appears that Inventor (apprenticeserver) max's out the memory which is what is causing Inventor to hang up, not surprisingly.
So I'm wondering if anyone else has successfully set up the Job Processor on a VM, and if so how did they configure it?
What release of Vault are you using?
If 2013 Professional, the following work-around may help. You could use the JobProcessor.exe command line arguments, in combination with a scheduled task+powershell, to restart JobProcessor.exe every few hours on the VM.
# === powershell.ps1 script ===
& "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Vault Professional 2013\Explorer\JobProcessor.exe" /stop
Wait-Process JobProcessor
& "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Vault Professional 2013\Explorer\JobProcessor.exe"
# === powershell.ps1 script ===
The /stop command will finish the current job then exit the JobProcessor (releasing Inventor's resources).
If you are using a different verison of Inventor, let me know; there may be other options to try.

We use Job Processor to handle DWF creation for 15 users. sometimes more than a 1000 files a day. Yes it has been problematic at times.
The error "a visualization file cannot be generated for a non cad file" had me frustated until I tracked it down to our anti-virus software (ESET). Since adding all Autodesk software to the Excluded applications list that error has stopped.

thanks jeff (& others) for your post. i aggree with your ideas and comments.
we are just implementing vault collaboration in the past few months and having some of these issues.
i have had some serious crashing of inventor while running JP on my workstation & trying to work at the same time in inventor. these were not just a normal inventor crash though, as i later discovered that all my addins were broken, had to try to repair / reinstall inventor and so on. (that is another story).
during the process though i posted some thoughts on the (vault and inventor) ideas forum about having some improved functionality of the job processor. i just wanted to note it again here for the ability of Autodesk to consolidate everyone's feedback while they "hopefully" put the resources into this thing to get it working properly.
maybe it wouldn't be as bad if we were all using a free program and trying to develop a new piece of software together but this is an expensive piece of software that a massive organisation has developed, (pitched as something great) that our buisinesses rely on it to run efficiently, but this JP runs like it came out of a breakfast serial packet.
very dissapointing.
I have had my own issues with JP (hanging and crashing). I am using physical PCs, I don't have experience with VMs.
In my troubles I've discovered 2 tricks:
#1 - if you have 2 (or more) PCs available to run the JP, configure them so that one machine does only dwfs for IDW/DWG and the other machine does all other tasks. What i've discovered is that at least 80% of the hangs can be eliminated when it isn't switching between drawings and assemblies/sync properties/etc.
#2 - the job processor (inventor) seems to operate single threaded, but you can trick it into utilizing multiple cores on your PC by logging in under multiple user names. Each windows account can run it's own copy of the JP. I recently had to generate several thousand DWFs. By having all the engineers log in to our CFD/rendering computer, we utilized al 8 cores and cranked the DWFs out in under a day.
#3 - I don't like that these hacks were necessary to make the program run smoothly. It is also an annoyance that the JP consumes a license. If the JP gets backed up i have 2 options: have the engineers wait for files to get slowly processed, or ask engineers to log off vault so that i can start more JPs and process the excess files.
I was hoping that the JP processor improvements in 2014 were here to help but not so sure
I would appreciate any feedback/help on this
I left JP with default settings. Submitted approx 100 for DWF update
After about 20, Job Queue is showing processing. An hour later still processing on that object
It's not file specific as I kill the JP and restart it and it does 2 more files tha it hangs again
I also noticed a new error to add to the others that JP likes to throw
"The new job processor is not responding"
The JP log does not help much, it shows it's still executing

I am trying to like the JP but it's not liking me. Maybe it's personal

Look at your anti virus program. We were getting the same error message. Our ESET anti Virus was the culprit. When I excluded Autodesk products in Protocol filtering the problem stopped. Some days I'll see more than a 1000 files processed. Large assembly drawings that are not resolved properly can be a problem.

Dennis, how much data are you allowed in a month? This was one of our smaller episodes in a few months, clocking in around 55MB. I generally listen to the various podcasts that I do while driving or jogging, so about streaming 75% on 3G, and about 25% on 4G, so performance isn't generally an issue, though I understand if you have a pretty low data cap. For the moment, I'm still grandfathered in with unlimited on Verizon.
Posted 29 June 2012 - 03:12 PM
Not about usage plan, iphone doesnt allow you to d/l anything over 20MB unless you are on WiFi.

Really? Wow. I'll add that to the list of reasons I'm glad to have an Android phone.

Some researchers came to Miles' daycare today, and they tested him on a whole bunch of things – putting blocks into holes, hiding things under blankets to see if he can find them, etc. He nailed it – every task they gave him, he did. The researchers didn't come right out and say that he's the smartest kid they've ever tested, but they knew. Oh, they most certainly knew.
There really is nothing like the feeling you get when your kid does something cool. I used to think that the dad reveling while watching his kid play football or piano or give a speech was just trying to live vicariously through their child – to live the life they never could. And perhaps in some cases that's true.
But in most cases I bet that's not what is going on. The amount of joy I get from watching Miles solve a problem, push a chair across the floor, or recognize the word I'm saying is immense. No accomplishment I've ever had, no mountain I've ever climbed comes close to giving me the kind of joy I get from watching him say "baby" when he looks in the mirror.
It's not that he's doing something I wish I could – I'm actually pretty good at getting the square peg into the square hole. It's not a feeling of living vicariously through him – it's much more visceral than that. And there really is no comparison that does it justice.
I once tried explaining to someone that it's like finishing a project and admiring what you created, multiplied by a billion – and realized about halfway through the absolute absurdity of what I was saying. Equating your child to a website or science fair project or nice dinner feels hilariously wrong. But it's the closest thing I can think of. It's not even a feeling of "look at what I made" as much as it's "I can't believe that he exists, and that I get to be a part of it."
I never got much out of the concept of God as a father until I had a kid, but I think about it often now. I think about the joy he must get when he sees me treat my wife well or help someone or give with happiness. I think that the joy I get watching Miles read a book is a faint glimmer of the immense joy that God has for his people.
Especially when he watches Miles.

Spy Hielo Sunglasses
Someone posted a review that the glasses fall of your face. These aren't meant to be active sunglasses so rating them poorly because of that is just lame. If you want to look your sickest while checking out the chicks, these are it. Love the large profile arms and thick plastic. BTW: I have the shiny black ones.

Foursquare Q Pant - Men's
The BEST
SICK SICK SICK! I have the citron in size Med (more on that later). They may not be the most durable or most water proofed but what they lack in those areas, they more than make up in steeeez. I love pockets. two huge, baffled cargos, left side is zippered and has a velcro flap. Also has a mini pocket on the outside of the cargo one. Perfect for my cable lock. RT side has just the one big cargo with a velcro flap. The right pant leg has a calf pocket(velcro flap) that is perfect for a tool or a clif bar. Two more front zippered front pockets and two rear. Inseam as well as cross thigh vents. I rode on 60 degree temp days and those vents will cool you off fast! Never had a chance to test them on cold, wintery days but if they're not fine by themselves, adding a light wicking pant should be fine. I heat up pretty quick and never wear thermals anyways.
The best thing about the pants are the hem adjustments. I like my pants baggy and these really help. I'm 5'6" exactly and I'm sure I could fit the Smalls but the Meds offer the style that I like. Even with the Smalls there might be some pant drag anyways. Inside the inseam vents is a ribbon with buttons on them. If the pants are too long, just pull on the ribbon and button them higher. Allows for about a 3 in. adjustment. This of course only pulls on the inside cuff but for the outside of the pant, there's a button that you can pin to the pant gaiter. I have never seen this before but EVERY pant should have this. Saves from shredding your pants or them from getting dirty as you're stomping through the parking lot.
Some other tid bits: glove holder, micro fleece front pockets, micro fleece on the inside seat area. Nylon lining throughout. The citron is sick...super bright if that's what you want. The pix is pretty true to color.
The only thing that would make these pants maybe a tad better are seam sealed zippers and maybe a tad heavier weight material. My edges already put a small cut on my rt pant leg. But for $130, the pants are a STEAL!!!

– ★★★★★ (3.3.14)
The Parisian themed restaurant, La Maison Rose (The Pink House) has grown to a much better spot in the Queen City which I now claim The French Park. First, it expanded to a Parisian wine junction; La Vie Parisienne, and now a pizza place has sprouted in the same spot, and it's called WORLD PIZZA: Around the world in 80 Pizzas.
The World Pizza has quite some worldly taste, instead of just pure French. They offer 80 different kinds of pizzas from the Philippines to the world.
The spot has just a bar for the waiters and waitresses to stay and get the orders, together with the European style stove where the pizzas are cooked; and just some chairs and tables around. The best thing is that they have a huge hammock that looks like the ones I've seen on 9gag, which seems relaxing, and when I was there, kids were enjoying the swinging treat.
The best thing was that the waitress told us that we could go and sit anywhere, from La Maison Rose, La Vie Parisienne to World Pizza, just as long as it's in The French Park.
Try their American pizza that costs P250.00 and also their Laos pizza that costs P210.00. Both are equally delicious and sumptuous, and my partner was indeed super impressed by the way it was flavoured.
You can also blend two pizzas at a time for the highest price of the two you've chosen. What I mean was that; just like us, we bought American for P250 and Laos for P210, we paid P250 pesos because it's the highest price of both.
TIP: If you're planning to mix two flavours at the same time; choose those treats/pizzas that have the same price or at the same price range. If you choose the P250.00 pizza, better make sure the half of it also costs P250 or at that range.
The Pizza Challege
Now, my partner and I were really impressed by it, so we made a deal to experience another pizza treat that comes from another country to experience of what it taste like in other places just like the way I imagined it to be.
Now, the challenge starts… care to join us?
American – 4
Laos – 5

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is LOLLY POP!
Facts about LOLLY POP
- Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Staffordshire Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: White - With Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
LOLLY POP's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
This precious little doggie cargo was found as a stray - we looked for her previous home with posting signs, knocking on doors, and posted LOST DOGGIE signs on the various web-sites - and no one called to claim her. Oh..well, our luck to help find a fantastic permanent loving home for her now!!
Hey people, would you love to meet a happy, happy girl full of love and hours of laughter!!! We have named her LOLLY POP - she is one very precious, happy sweetie ready to share her love.
LOLLY POP is about eight months old, a petite little adorable munchkin weighing 32.0 lbs, house-broken, crate-trained, now spayed and has her current vaccinations. She is learning to walk on a leash and stay beside her person - A SMART GIRL SHE IS!
LOLLY POP loves her squeaky toys and is happy to sit and squeak for long periods of time - self-entertained, you have to love that fine quality! She enjoys playing with the water from a garden hose - turn the water on and you will view lots of happiness as she 'chews' the water coming out of the hose. She is a very loving companion.
This little girl has a six year old foster sister who is teaching her how to be a proper dog with class and kindness. She LOVES following her sister around to learn the ropes of life!! LOLLY POP is great with getting her teeth brushed too.
She enjoys life and would love to share her long future doggie life with you. She will also love a doggie friend, but no kitties please.
Enjoy a couple short videos with her, lots of personality:
To meet this precious doll baby, please contact me:
Other Pets at AZ Prussian Snailhound Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
LOLLY POP, a Phoenix Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Staffordshire Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Staffordshire Bull Terrier for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Staffordshire Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Staffordshire Bull Terrier breeders who help with Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Staffordshire Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

Just wanted to say Congrats on getting the license i am excited to see what you do with it, especially this game.
The first time i saw Wings of War i thought "this would be cool with Xwings and Ties" i even did my own conversion from wings of war with home made maneuver cards.
I really like the pilot/maneuvers disc that is a great addition to the game as it eliminates the need for a full set of cards per craft and also provides options for new maneuvers.
I am hoping to see proton torpedoes even if just for bombing missions (i did add missiles to my version but they were complicated)
Please include the following in the box set
at least
2 tie fighters
1 X wing
additional card ships maybe another x wing and pair of tie fighters ( 2 players is fun but 4 is really fun and we found with wings of war that 4 players was a good way to teach new players
I would live the box to include other fighter types in card version and i don't think this would detract from sales when they are released later as models.
Missions with targets: Escort the vonvoy with a large template representing civillian ship to be guarded.
Also Missions for different scale engagements ( I understand that it will not be common for there to be a game big enough for a full x wing squadron(12 Ships) or tie fighter wing (72 ships) but flights or approx half a squadron are more managable)
Generic and named pilots (not every X wing should be piloted by Luke Skywalker or a member of Red/Rogue Squadron)
I don't feel the need for large ships like the falcon or slave one and would rather you avoided them although i understand there may be pressuse include them.
Ships at the top of my list to include are OT ships
Y-Wing (single and 2 seat), Tie Intercepter, A-wing, B-wing, Tie Bomber, not sure about the tie Advanced perhaps save that for vaders personal when he is released as a personality.
Well thats my rant thanks for humoring me and thanks for making this game a reality.

Looks just like the picture These chairs are a soft tweed gray and are so unusual that they fit with every decor. They are the only fabric keyhole back chairs I could find and the price was just right. The legs are relatively easy to install if you follow the directions and not tighten everything until you are sure the legs are even. Beautiful.

Nice Chairs I really love these chairs. I like that you can just wipe these chairs down. I bought these to replace two other chairs that I had which were ruined due to food stains and spills (I have twins). These are so much better when you have kiddos that miss their mouths. ;0) They look great in my kitchen. Very stylish.

Susan T I love these chairs. They are fairly easy to assemble ( although it's easier with two people) and they have added just the right amount of chic to my dining room. I ordered the white with black legs. Great value for the price.

Another winning ticket for OVERSTOCK.com! I had previously purchased four of these chairs for my dining room. I love them so much that I bought two more. They have a designer look and enhance the design of my thorougly modern dining room. Besides being very attractive, they are extremely comfortable. The chairs were very reasonably priced, and the fact that I did not have to pay any tax and only $2.99 to have them shipped was an added savings. All in all.....a very good deal. Thanks OVERSTOCK.

Nice Chairs I bought 2 chairs and found them to be very comfortable so I ordered 6 more. As stated, the quality is ok for the price. There were some flaws in the finish on the legs of a few of the chairs, where the paint was rough and even flaked off on one chair. It was easy to repair the one chair and not worth the trouble to send it back. They are bi-cast leather so are a little more plasticy than good quality leather and some of the stitching is less than perfect, but again for the price I think they are a good value.

***A~W~E~S~O~M~E*** These chairs are awesome---they are slightly off white, but it is very slight. Now mind you, I am picky about white. I like a crisp white. But, these chairs are so awesome in quality, style, and function I am not even bothered by the very slight off white color. Absolutely wonderful~~~~~~~and the price~~~AMAZING!

Great Product! I am very pleased with my recent purchase of the Mendoza White Keyhole dining chairs. I wanted to update the look of an existing dining room table, and these fit perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly they arrived, and at how easy they were to assemble. I had them all assembled (4), by myself, in less than one hour. My husband is 6'6" and was initially worried about the size, but he sits very comfortably in them. The material is great for easy cleanup and looks as though it should wear nicely. They have been a great addition to my new contemporary design, and I would highly recommend them to others!

FABULOUS! I bought four of these chairs to go with my existing glass dining room table. They are so modern and sleek, that my old glass table looks brand new again! The color is slightly off-white, which gives the chairs a very rich leather appearance. Not only are they sturdy, but they are also comfortable. Assembly was easy, and they arrived within a week. I highly recommend these chairs!!!

I wanted to know the same thing. :( Anyway we can be notified when the light grey is back in stock? Thnaks!
I am considering getting 2 light grey and 2 dark grey chairs. Is there a big difference in the grey colors, so that they are obviously different? I don't want them to be too close in color which might make it look like they are supposed to match but I just got two different dye lots.

How easy is it to clean Linen Chairs?
Hello mnems, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, the information you have requested is currently unavailable. We will continue to try and answer this for you. You will receive an email notification once an answer is posted. Have a great day.
The faux leather scratches and mars easily. Is there a repair kit the manufacturer recommends?
You know, I am not sure, but I find that the mr clean erasers are excellent for this kind of material. I have no issues with my chairs, they are not heavily used, but I have had them over 2 years. As for the legs, of course keep them polished, but a brown marker works great for scuffs on any dark furniture! Hope this helps.
What is the height from the seat to the floor? Mary
Hello marytennis, the seat height is 18 inches. Thank you for shopping with us.
My husband is a large man what weight will these chairs support?
Hello sorc3rer1, Overstock does not weight test Items; however this type of chair typically holds 200 to 250 pounds. Thank you for shopping with us.
Yes they will but be sure to turn them over every now and then and use a Allen wrench and retighten all of the screws. Never tilt back on these chairs as even a small person or child will cause the screws to loosen very quickly.
For the seating area, does the chair have a base board/piece of solid wood on the bottom of the chair for further support?
Hello vkhly, The chair does have a solid wood bottom for support. Thank you for shopping with us.
There is a wooden base under the faux leather. However it is thin and instead of the supports running underneath the full length of the base, they only reinforce the corners. I think I will add a bar or two across because I want these to last.
We are a young family and I am wanting to use these chairs for our everyday eating area. I was wondering how little hands of ketchup, mustard, etc. wipes off and if it leaves any stains? Thank you so much!!

I have two of these chairs. I think they would be very easy to clean. Probably just a damp cloth. However, I don't know if I could recommend them for small children. I don't think they would be durable or sturdy enough for everyday use.

I watched this video today and thought the information was interesting. I thought some on the forum might find it interesting too.
I know a fair bit about OBs but learned a few new things. "Optical brighteners are synthetic chemicals that make fabrics appear to glow in the presence of ultraviolet light. They don't have anything to do with getting things clean - they're only added to detergents to make us think our laundry is brighter and whiter than it really is. Designed to intentionally remain behind on our clothes and linens, optical brighteners rub off on our skin where they can cause a reaction that looks like sunburn. They're no fun for the environment either. Optical brighteners washed down our drains frequently survive wastewater treatment and escape into our lakes, rivers, and streams. Once there, they don't completely biodegrade and instead accumulate in fish." |

Here's an expanded explanation of ingredients. I think as far as detergents go ... this one is fine. Laundry has to get clean and it's going to take more than water to accomplish the task :) Sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate, sodium silicate and zeolites (water softeners and alkalinity builders), fatty alcohol ethoxylate and polyglucose (coconut and corn-derived cleaning agents), magnesium sulfate, sodium sulfate and sodium chloride (performance enhancers), sodium percarbonate (non-chlorine bleach), carboxymethyl inulin and carboxymethyl cellulose (antiredeposition agents), protease and cellulase (non-animal derived enzymes), oleic acid (plant-derived anti-foaming agents), essential oils and botanical extracts* (citrus aurantium amara (petitgrain bigarade sur fleurs), citrus aurantium dulcis (blood orange), citrus aurantium bergamia (bergamot), myristica fragrans (nutmeg)). *D-limonene is a naturally occurring component of these ingredients. |

About | Projects | Docs | Forums | Lists | Bugs | Get Gentoo! | Support | Planet | Wiki
Hi all, There are a couple of chapters that I'm already thinking about before going further. Those chapters are: - About this document - Why a Gentoo Foundation - Principles of the Gentoo Foundation - Tasks of the Gentoo Foundation A small description is probably in place :) With "About this document" I would try to describe to the user what this document is about. It's like an outline for the rest of the document. "Why a Gentoo Foundation" talks about the progress Gentoo has made, the incorporated technologies and code that has grown since the beginning of it's existence, about the accumulated knowledge that we have inside and the community that keeps a high-demand wrt Gentoo's progress. It will also talk a bit about the coordination of Gentoo (through the coordinators/managers) and the community feedback that is of the most importance for a project such as Gentoo. It outlines the reason for a Gentoo Foundation: - Decoupling necessary bureaucracy from development * Financial (donations) * Juridical (licenses, copyrights, trademarks, ...) * Caretaking (adherence to the social contract) - Mission Statement * Protect the use of the Gentoo trademark and logo * Protect the developed code, documentation, artwork and other material through copyright/licenses * Sponsor Gentoo-related conferences and technical development * Oversee development so it adheres to the social contract The "Principles of the Gentoo Foundation" would describe four pillars that the Gentoo Foundation keeps in mind: 1. Gentoo provides choices 2. Gentoo is open 3. Gentoo lives for the community, by the community 4. Gentoo is independent With "independent" I mean that Gentoo will be reigned by a company nor be dictated by an organisation. In "Tasks of the Gentoo Foundation" I would place the real tasks (which we still need to discuss properly): * Intellectual Property protection * Support for the Gentoo Development (hardware, financial, ...) * Oversee adherance to the social contract * Corporate/Organisational point of contact * Keep definition of a "Gentoo Developer" Does this integrate well with the thoughts you have about the Gentoo Foundation? Feedback is appreciated. Wkr, Sven Vermeulen -- Bent Hindrup Andersen, Danish MEP, about the Software Patent Directive: The approach of the Commission and Council in this directive is shocking. They are making full use of all the possibilities of evading democracy that the current Community Law provides. <http://lwn.net/Articles/84009/>

On Jan. 25, AAA reported the U.S. national average price for diesel fuel at $3.42 a gallon, up from $2.89 the same time last year. Meanwhile, Natural Resources Canada reported that the national average for diesel in that country was $1.16 per liter, up from $0.99 at the same time a year ago.
Salesman Kyle Moynahan said Jem-D International, Leamington, Ontario, is upgrading and adding to the company's forward distribution centers in order to streamline its operations.
Jem-D moved into a 22,000-square-foot facility in Montreal to improve service to its Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa clients in June 2010. Moynahan said the facility, which has repacking, consolidating and shipping operations, is more than twice the size of the company's previous Montreal facility.
The company opened an Atlanta facility in September 2010. The 12,000-square-foot building is used to service customers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
"The Atlanta facility's strategic location greatly reduces the time and distance our fruit travels," Moynahan said. "We have the ability to service our regional customers at a moment's notice and maximize service levels."
Jem-D plans to upgrade its Taylor, Mich., facility with repacking, consolidation and racking capabilities as well as an improved refrigeration system, Moynahan said.
The company also opened a facility Jan. 10 in McAllen, Texas, to consolidate, ship and receive product from its farms in Mexico.
"All these operations are strategically set up to be within hours, and sometimes minutes, away from our customers," Moynahan said. "We reduce the need to transport all our goods to our distribution center in Ontario and then back out to the customers.
"We have continued to deliver as direct as possible from our farms to our clients. This helps us to reduce the cost of transportation and also reduce the total costs of the goods delivered."
Moynahan said reducing transportation times also helps ensure freshness and quality of the product.
Vice president of sales and marketing Matt Mastronardi said Pure Hot House Foods Inc., Leamington, also is making an effort to deliver more product direct from the farms to customers, and to increase truck fill-rate percentages.
Mastronardi said the company also is testing alternative fuels at the farm level to reduce heating costs.

Is Yemen the New Hot Spot for Terrorism Training?
January 7, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
New America Media, Q&A, Aaron Glantz
Editor's Note: Reports that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the suspect accused of trying to blow up an airliner on Christmas Day, was trained in Yemen have raised the specter of further U.S. military involvement in that country. To get a better sense of what's going on in Yemen, NAM editor Aaron Glantz spoke with Jillian Schwedler, a professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and author of the book, "Faith in Moderation: Islamist Parties in Jordan and Yemen."
What was your first reaction when you heard that Abdulmutallab was trained in Yemen?
Yemen has fairly porous borders and a lot of people are in and out of there. It doesn't necessarily mean anything. It's not like going to a camp in Afghanistan. It doesn't have the same meaning. I mean, you go to a camp in Afghanistan, you're pretty much going for one reason. It's not the same as Yemen.
It seems like in the popular discussion, Yemen is becoming associated with fundamentalist clerics and terrorism.
There are definitely a lot of extremists there, but I think the bigger framework to think about Yemen is not as a hotbed of radicalism and terror but as a state where the government does not control all of the land. They've been fighting a significant insurgency in the North for six years now and there's a separatist group in the South that's in an armed conflict. The Ministry of Interior estimates that there are 60 million weapons outside of government hands in Yemen. And that's in a country of 20 million people. So it's a highly-armed, fragmented society and the government hasn't really had control over the entire country for some time, if ever. So certainly there's extremism there, but there's a lot of stuff going on that the government isn't really in control of.
So who is in the leadership of the government of Yemen?
The government of Ali Abdullah Saleh is essentially a central government, but there are many parts of the country that are not under the central government. There are armed areas that the government doesn't police and doesn't have anything to do with, except to offer very limited services. And we're talking about big chunks of the country in the North and the East particularly. It's not one little enclave.
And a huge part of the border with Saudi Arabia is not even defined because it's a desert. There are not a lot of people there but there are chunks of the country that are frontier-land kind of areas where people move between those two states.
Yemen was two countries during the Cold War.
Even calling it two countries becomes sort of a fiction. For years, it was just sort of a bunch of enclaves including the British colony that was there for nearly 100 years in the South, various tribal governments, there was a Northern government. But from the '60s, you had two states, a Northern state which was the Yemen Arab Republic, and the Southern state which was the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, which was a Marxist, Soviet outpost. And so when the Soviet Union fell in 1989, they lost all their funding and then North Yemen was never particularly strong, and so the two decided that they would unite, which they did and initially had democratic elections in which nobody won a majority.
Northern loyalists were assassinating socialists in the South and the unification never really went forward. They unified the country formally, but former governments maintained their owned armies. That culminated in a civil war in 1994 that lasted two months. And the North defeated the South and has been in control ever since under the leadership of the same president, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
So it's really become an Egypt-style government where there's a president who pretends to be elected and everyone else pretends to have candidates.
So during all this time, what has the U.S. government's role been?
Well, right after Yemen unified in May 1990, Yemen had the unfortunate opportunity to have a rotating seat on the U.N. Security Council. So they had the seat during the first Gulf War in 1991 and they abstained from that Security Council vote. They did not vote for the coalition in 1990 and they did not vote against it; they abstained. So the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait all punished Yemen by unilaterally cutting all aid to the country. So it was a newly-unified country that had a tremendous amount of aid cut. Millions of Yemeni migrant workers in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were all deported and that had a devastating affect on the economy in Yemen.
But then relations gradually improved, with the U.S. not really having an interest in Yemen. Then, with the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole and subsequent events, the government of Ali Abdullah Saleh has been working very closely with the U.S. government because in some ways these Islamists are threatening to him as well. That said, there's an Islamist party that's closely aligned with the regime. So while the government is working with the U.S. to battle extremists, at the same time he's playing this delicate balancing act that includes allying himself with extremists.
So basically, he's allying himself with the United States in the war on terror, and with the people who are opposing that at the same time.
Exactly. And I don't think he's that brilliant as a politician. It's just luck that it's all held together at this point. It's surprising to me that he's pulling it off. A lot of people think it could get really bad there really quick.
Already, the Fullbright program has been suspended. People aren't going there to study or do research. It's really not safe.
So when you're watching the news right now, what are you looking for? What are you looking for in these reports that will help you decide what's going on?
In so much of what's coming through, I hear mistakes in reports that frustrate me. What I want to know is: Are things realigning? Are new people coming on top? I haven't seen this in the media, but for example: Saudi Arabia would have a clear interest in Yemen not becoming a failed state. So is Saudi Arabia sending more government and trying to bolster them and is that creating more Wahabi influence? Or this: Are you seeing a lot of the tribal sheiks realigning themselves? Because with that many weapons out of government control a few significant shifts in alignment could be game changers. Those are the kinds of things I'm interested in, but you don't tend to see them in media a lot.

Soldiers Often 'Racialize' to Cope
November 12, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
New America Media, Interview, Aaron Glantz
Editor's Note: The horrific shooting Thursday at Fort Hood that claimed 13 lives and hospitalized another 30 people has set off a great deal of speculation as to why the alleged shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, did what he did.
NAM Editor Aaron Glantz spoke to former Marine Corps Cpl. Dave Hassan, who served in Iraq in 2005 and 2006. Hassan, an Egyptian American, said that while he was in Iraq, racist language was so pervasive that he began to use it himself.
When you heard that the shooter was an Arab-American major what was your reaction?
This is not going to end well. That was essentialy my first reaction. I don't know if the guy did it or not but assuming that this guy did do it, somebody who shoots a whole bunch of people ought to get punished for it, but in a broader sense, it's just going to fuel more of the anti-Arab racism that's grown up in the past decade or so. It's going to be fun for the rest of us. [laughs]
What about the fact that he was a psychiatrist?
He was probably treating guys with PTSD [post traumatic stress disorder] and there's a lot more overt racism in that crowd than there is in the rest of the military.
Talk about that.
Well, your average service member is not particularly racist and not necessarily more racist than your average American. But in order to go be involved with killing large [numbers] of other human beings, you have to dehumanize the enemy, and the easiest way to dehumanize them is to racialize them. In my experience, they're much more prone to talking about 'f** hajji's," if only "these f** hajjis wouldn't be here, this wouldn't have happened.'
But after you were deployed to Iraq, you used that language even though your family is Egyptian.
Oh, absolutely. I absolutely used those words. I didn't think anything of it. It was just a part of how you talked about the people who were in Iraq and it didn't even register that I was even talking about my own ethnic community until I started thinking about it after I got home. That was a little hard for me.
But it's just how you talk about Iraqis and Afghans. It's a word that's used for specific people in Arabic. It means someone who has completed a pilgrimage so it's a term of respect in Arab cultures. Now it's present at every level of the military chain of command, so everybody uses it. In the military, things stop because commanders want them to stop and that wasn't the case for that kind of language.
They're hajji's and you don't even think about the fact that it's a pretty racist term to be using it the way that we used it. And he [Hasan] would have heard a lot of it, because he was treating a lot of pretty angry folks.
And how was that day-to-day for you?
For me, it never went beyond the use of language. People would say, 'Why are hajjis wearing dresses all the time,' [talking about traditional Iraqi dishdash]. One or two of the officers that I had contact with would call me over and say 'Hassan, how come these hajjis want to be doing this?'
So thinking of all this were you surprised when Major Hasan opened fire at Fort Hood?
I was surprised that it was a psychiatrist that shot a lot of people. It's no longer surprising to me that returning veterans would kill a bunch of people. But this guy was a psychiatrist who hadn't been deployed, and he was also a major, which means he was in for a long time. If he had been at Walter Reed for a long time it was probably the first time that he had to think in detail about actually deploying to a foreign country and what that means. He would have been a lot closer to the 'action' there.
Journalist Shane Bauer Detained in Iran
August 6, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Aaron Glantz, NAM
New America Media correspondent Shane Bauer is among three Americans detained over the weekend along the Iranian-Iraq border, along with his girlfriend Sarah Shourd and Josh Fattal.
Bauer, 27, who grew up in Onamia, Minn, had filed more than two dozen stories for NAM from Syria and was in Northern Iraq to cover the Kurdish elections, said NAM Executive Editor Sandy Close.
"We were awaiting his coverage when we learned that he and his girlfriend, and another friend, had been arrested by Iranian authorities," she said.
A freelance journalist and fluent Arabic speaker, Bauer has contributed to numerous other publications including the Nation, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Los Angeles Times.
"Shane's dispatches have been enlightening," Close said. "His fluency in Arabic and his writing and photography skills enabled him to provide a valuable lens into what ordinary people are thinking and saying in the Arab world. We consider Shane to be a gifted young correspondent who typifies the long tradition of journalism by the student-traveler learning the craft by doing."
At Iran's Mission to the United Nation's in New York, spokesperson Mohammed Sahraei refused to elaborate on official state media reports which had referred to Bauer and his fellow travelers as "infiltrators."
Iranian state television reported on Sunday that the head of the Iranian Parliament's foreign policy committee Alaedddin Boroujerdi said, "This case is currently on its natural course."
Their detention has quickly become international news.
On Monday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton appealed to Iran for information, saying U.S. the interests in Iran are asking officials from the Iranian Foreign Ministry for details but have not yet gotten official confirmation of the trio's arrest. She asked that Iran determine the facts of the case and to "return them as quickly as possible."
"As of a few hours ago, we did not yet have official confirmation that the Iranian government or an instrument of the Iranian government were holding the three missing Americans," Clinton told reporters at the State Department. "We asked our Swiss partners … to please pursue our inquiries to determine the status of the three missing Americans."
"Obviously, we are concerned," Clinton said. "We want this matter brought to a resolution as soon as possible and we call on the Iranian government to help us determine the whereabouts of the three missing Americans and return them as quickly as possible."
In New York, the Committee to Protect Journalists said it appeared that the Americans were "targeted for being reporters" and that they were walking along the border because they were backpacking along the mountains that mark the border between Iran and Iraq, "for purely recreational purposes."
"It's possible that they walking back and forth the border numerous times without ever knowing it," said CPJ's Mohmmed Abdel Dayem. "We hope that it is a routine thing. We assume the best."

I have seen Candice Olsen on HGTV use this many times in her remodles. I really like the overall look and how small the boxes can be and would love to get opinions from people that have one.
Here is the website for Fire Ribbon Direct-Vent Gas Fireplace. http://www.ebuild.com/articles/427132.hwx |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you are looking for the view purpose only, then it is a fine product. If you want heat, note the fire place is NOT EPA efficiency tested. Meaning the gas you use to produce heat, much of that heat exits out the vent Your efficiency could be less that 50%. High efficiency EPA rated stoves approach 80% returned heat to the living space. Basically using the same amount of gas |

Real Stories About Adoption And Foster Care
Share Your Story With Us
The Anderson Family
Anderson Family
Dell Rapids, South Dakota
Earlier this month, the Anderson family of Dell Rapids, South Dakota, celebrated three birthdays in five days.
It was a whirlwind of sleepovers, swimming, and a visit to the carnival.
"We've been very busy," said Peggy Anderson, 51, on a Sunday afternoon. "Today is a sit-on-the-couch-and-relax day."
The bustle comes with the territory for a household of 10. In addition to Peggy and her husband Rod, 50, the couple has six adopted children. On top of that, the family is providing foster care to two young brothers.
To say the Anderson's family grew according to plan is correct, although with a caveat.
Growing as parents
"I'm sure there was plan," Peggy said. "It was just bigger than us."
The Anderson family grew in stages, with adoptions spaced years apart. It started first with the adoption of two sibling groups. Peggy and Rod discovered, after getting some experience with parenting, they grew, and mellowed, and were better able to handle the ups and downs of raising kids.
Peggy said despite starting with three children at once without first having biological children, which usually come one at a time, the couple learned quickly from experience.
"Every single experience was new," she said. "We've definitely had on-the-job training."
Now, with two more little ones in the house, Peggy said there isn't anything more challenging now than during their first adoption.
"I can't think of a single thing," she said.
It also helps that now their older children can help out, especially the teenagers 16 and older.
"I have drivers now, so that's huge," Peggy said.
She also noted the support networks for foster and adoptive parents have improved. There are seminars, classes, and other services available now that weren't available when the Andersons first decided to begin growing their family through adoption.
Deciding to take the first step
The first step, the decision to become foster parents, came in 1996. The couple was not able to conceive. Despite assurances from doctors there was nothing apparently preventing them, the couple was given the option of fertility treatments.
Around about the same time, the Andersons saw on television an announcement from the state's governor that the foster care system was in need of adults who could provide a loving home, and it clicked.
"We went into foster care thinking, let's find out what we'd be getting into," she said.
Soon after that, the couple decided to begin the process of adoption for Audra, Jon, and Heidi, who were ages four through one.
"It wasn't a hard decision," Peggy said. "We talked about it. There are kids out there who need homes, and we have one."
In 2001, the couple adopted two more siblings, Kyler, who was three, and Chrystina, who was 15 months old.
In 2003, Austin, who was 18 months old, was also placed with the Andersons.
Deciding to adopt again
Recently Peggy and Rod decided to do it again.
They're now providing a foster home for Edson, who is almost a year old, and Jameson, who is 18 months. The Andersons have met and work with the boys' biological parents.
"We're trying to be supportive on that end too," she said.
What made them decide to open up their home again was the urging of their children. Since adopting Austin, the couple had allowed their foster license to lapse, so they went through the process again.
"They like kids, they enjoy being around them. They also recognize there is a need," she said. "They have had first-hand experience."
With older children around the house, and two teenagers of driving age, the Andersons have become more relaxed with experience, but now they have help as well.
"Actually they do a lot, there is always a lap open," she said. "There's always somebody to hold you, rock you, and read to you."
The couples' work requirements have also played in their favor, as both are able to work from home, Rod recently starting working from home regularly, and Peggy is able to get her work done at home if needed.
"If somebody's sick or something is going on, I can work from home," she said.
Having grown up in a family of six, with kids from all over dropping by, Peggy always thought she would have six kids of her own.
"I grew up in a home that always had extra kids in the house," she said. "It doesn't matter who, what where you are from, you are welcome in my house."
The couple trusts in God, and is willing to continue to open up their house to children in need.
"We see ourselves doing it for as long as we can," she said.

Canadian indie-poppers the Russian Futurists haven't released a new album since 2010′s The Weight's On The Wheels, and while there isn't yet any talk of another LP, they do have a new song out there now. The band linked with Junior Boys frontman Jeremy Greenspan for the single "Cochineal Red," a jittery and heartfelt synthpop track that boasts an energetic twinkle and a house thump deep enough that it could get some actual club burn. Listen to the track below.
"Cochineal Red" is out now on Upper Class; buy it from UC Boutique or iTunes.

Packaging and the N2560
The packaging too, has undergone a facelift. Here we have attractive box art underlining many of the features encompassed in the NAS.
The side of the packaging details the contents of the box.
Included with the N2560 you will find the power adapter, Ethernet cable, drive sleds and user and startup guides.
The N2560 is quite a different product than what we are used to seeing from Thecus or any NAS manufacturer for that matter. Instead of the standard box deployment, Thecus has gone the extra mile and designed the N2560 to blend in with the modern decor of households.
The back of the NAS houses all the I/O connectivity a household would need. Here we have SPDIF and HDMI at the top, followed by Gbit Ethernet and dual USB 2.0 ports.
Another unique design concept found within the housing of the N2560 is the LED feature. Here we have the Thecus logo cut out and lit up with white lighting.
