Venerable volunteer scoops landmark award for services to science
Colin Wilkinson, from Stockton-on-Tees, has been named Volunteer of the Year by the British Science Association. He has received the Sir Walter Bodmer Award for Volunteers in recognition of his hard work and dedication in his role as Chair of the North East Branch and tireless work supporting the Young People's Programme.
Colin joined the North East (formerly Northumbria) Branch in 1998, taking a lead role in developing the Branch and raising its profile in the region. Since Colin became Chair of the Branch in 2010 he has invigorated the committee who together have developed events in a wide variety of formats and nurtured new collaborations with other organisations such as Newcastle Café Scientifique and youth groups in Gateshead. He is working hard to create a new presence in other areas of the North East, beginning with Tees Valley. As the British Science Festival comes to Newcastle upon Tyne this September, Colin is leading the Branch in developing a series of exciting events for the week.
In addition to his work with the Branch Colin was instrumental in establishing the British Science Association led North East Science Alliance (NESA) in 2007. Having recently celebrated its 6th anniversary, the NESA, a network for all people who engage the public in science, brings together expertise from teachers to museum workers, and volunteers to freelance science communicators. Colin also joined our Engineering Section in 2011 and so now also contributes to the Festival programme each year alongside his other roles.
Colin is a longstanding member of the CREST Local Coordinator network and regularly goes beyond the call of duty to support the teachers and pupils who take part from around the North East. Colin's background in industry provides a rich source of ideas and mentors for student CREST projects and he remains a champion for the North East's strengths in engineering & technology.
Colin commented; 'Volunteering for the British Science Association lets me use my skills to do something I believe is vital. People engaging with science in a constructive way is crucial to our future as a nation, and it's a pleasure and a privilege to be part of a great, national organisation that does that. My enthusiasm for volunteering with the Association comes from all the great people – staff and volunteers – I work with, and I hope this award can encourage more people to join us. I'm delighted and honoured to receive this award. Everything the Association does relies on strong networks of people – and it's those groups of people that make things happen – I hope I can continue to play my part in those networks for many years to come.'
The award is given annually by the British Science Association to a dedicated volunteer or group of volunteers in recognition of the great value and impact of its volunteers. Colin will attend the British Science Festival in Newcastle upon Tyne, his home patch, this September to collect his award.
"It is always incredible to see the huge amount of time and energy our volunteers dedicate to promoting science and helping people engage with it", said Imran Khan, Chief Executive of the British Science Association.
"Colin is extremely deserving of this award, and we would like to thank him for all his effort and dedication, both at the North East Branch, and the crucial role he played during the formation of the North East Science Alliance.
"He is a fantastic example of how our large network of volunteers around the UK helps us to develop links with local communities and reach a wide audience of all ages. Without enthusiastic individuals such as Colin, we could not hope to achieve even a fraction of what we currently do."
Volunteers' Week is a national celebration of volunteers and volunteering which takes place from 1 – 7 June of each year and it plays a huge part in raising the profile of the millions of volunteers who regularly contribute to society, while inspiring others to get involved too.

I had the pleasure of staying at the Pinhook Plantation in Oct, 2014, with my sister in law and boyfriend and we loved our visit. The house is beautiful and makes you feel as if you have stepped back in to another time period. I stayed in the Alicia Suite which was very clean, warm and cozy. I love to ghost hunt and I had some great experiences. When I was taking pictures in the Helen Suite and as I was looking through the camera there were energy in the room falling like snow, which could not be seen with the naked eye. I called out to my sister in law, boyfriend and Helen (Owner) and showed them what I was seeing in the camera and Helen stated she had never experienced that before and it was giving her cold chills. Later that night, I was taking pictures down the stairway and thought I saw a spirit close to The Jannine Suite and snapped a picture and captured two well defined orbs. The second night as I was ghost hunting I was taking pictures coming down the stairway and I started seeing energy again falling like snow through the camera like in The Helen Suite. If you like to ghost hunt visit the Pinhook Plantation. Our overall visit was excellent! The food was delicious and Ellen is a delightful hostess. Ellen went out of her way to make sure we had firewood for the front porch so we could enjoy the beauty of Pinhook at night with the beautiful moon piercing down on the amazing front porch. I want to thank Don, Helen's friend for getting the fire pit started on the front porch making it nice and warm. Ever since I came home Pinhook has been calling my name to return and embrace her history and beauty.

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending some time at Pinhook Plantaion this summer. The house and surroundings are beautiful. The room was immaculate and the furnishings were lovely. Breakfast was a treat to both the eyes and the palette. We left feeling that the proprietor, Miss Ellen, had become a new friend. An altogether wonderful experience, right on the Hiawassee River!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay there. The owners were nice and friendly. Also their supper recommendation was excellent.

Pinhook is out in the boonies, but it's worth the time and effort to get there. I cannot think of another B&B that has more homey charm and real country friendliness. Those ladies are the best. We got our money's worth and more.

Everything about our stay was wonderful, except for the breakfast. Our reservation was during the transitional period between the previous and new owner. The new owner was very attentive, but the previouv owner came back to make our breakfast. She seemed to be in a very big hurry to leave. We were fed soggy croissants with store bought strawberry cream cheese and jelly, canned peaches with oatmeal brown sugar sprinkles, five quarter-sized sausage patties, and five pieces of bacon. The croissants made my sister gag they were so soggy. We had been told at the time of our reservation the previous owner would bake my 82 year old mother a small cake for her birthday. A store-bought cake was provided right after breakfast. We were not accustomed to having cake for breakfast. Quite peculiar for us. The new owner provided us with coffee, tea, juice, and fresh fruit. That part was very nice. We intend to return for my mother's 83 birthday and are looking forward to seeing the new owner again, and having her breakfast. We really enjoyed our new hostess, Debbie. Thanks Debbie for a delightful time with you. Thanks for the warm reception, the special thoughtfulness you besotted upon us. See you next year.

Wife and I stayed back in March 2013, we have not had a vacation together in the 17 years of our marriage so this was a first for us. found the deal on Groupon LOVED the stay, cats were the best.lol!! Great place great atmosphere..

I was married at the pinhook July 8th 2006. We planned a big wedding, reception and honeymoon night there. It was great! The only thing I did not like is that a couple came up to stay just as my wedding was winding down. I was hoping for more privacy with all the money I put in. But it still was beautiful and really enjoyed.
4.8 on September 09, 2012
This was a very enjoyable stay and can't wait to go back again. Ellen was a pleasure to get to know and a great cook. The location is remote and well worth the trip. Beautiful scenery and the accomodations are so nice. Love the period antiques and detailed decor.

This review comes a little late, since I stayed at Pinhook Plantation in November last year but I wanted to add a glowing review...even if it is 6 months later! I stayed here enroute to Gatlinburg on the most magnificant drive through the Great Smokies. We arrived late at night after a long day driving, but nothing was too much trouble. Our ground floor room was undeniably perfect, beautifully laid out, clean and the homemade cookie went down a treat! Breakfast was superb and the host was incredibly welcoming. Too tired to make a trip to the nearest shop on the night we arrived, we were even given a bottle of wine 'on the house' which made for a lovely couple of hours on the porch looking at the stars! (It was below freezing but we were wrapped up and it didnt matter!) On waking we were blessed with the most magnificant views, with the Smokies in the distance. I've never seen anything so beautiful in all my life. Visiting at Christmas time, the house felt so cosy and warm with a beautifully dressed christmas tree and roaring open fire in the living room. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Ellen is a gracious host and a marvelous cook. We were greeted with a very basket and bottle of wine which my wife enjoyed immensely. This was our first experience in a bed and breakfast and we will definitely be returning!

Pinhook plantation was such a wonderful and cozy place to stay and visit! We loved the room with its charm and beautiful colors. Ellen was such an accommodating proprietor and a great cook. We cannot wait to go back and visit. The animals are super friendly and easy going. You cannot find a better view from the front door . What a wonderful place to stay! !.

This is a very cozy B&B near the Ocoee Olympic Whitewater Rafting Center. Ellen and Don are exceedingly gracious hosts who made us feel right at home. We enjoyed sitting on the rocking chairs on the front porch and seeing the beautiful views of the nearby mountains. We also enjoyed getting to know Pinhook's cats and dogs; without fail Katie the cat welcomed us back after every outing.
4.8 on August 04, 2011
The hospitality was refreshing and the house facilitated a very comfortable and relaxing environment. The breakfast was delicious and memorable. There were plenty of local restaurants recommended by the Innkeeper, and the two we tried had superb food and service. The location was perfect for outdoor activities with the local Cherokee National Forest and the Ocoee and Hiawasee Rivers. We went rafting down one of the rivers and fishing. It was an excellent experience and one I'm willing to drive another 8 hours to have!

Although Pinhook Plantation House is in a very rural area, it is definitely worth a visit! The directions on the website are very good, and we found it easily. Thanks for a scrumptious breakfast!!
3.4 on May 31, 2011
A really charming, unique B&B! It's comfy, friendly and relaxing. My favorite part was the rocking chairs on the wide front porch overlooking the smokey mountains. I was thrilled to find a B&B that was so pet friendly. And friendly is the best descriptive words for the great people that run the inn as well as everyone in the area. We will always remember our stay here. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

This was my husband and I's first stay in a bed and breakfast and it was lovely. The room was nice and the bed was very comfortable. The home owners were extremely kind and hospitable. They also cooked phenomenal food. :)
Innkeeper Response
Thank you for you kind review. We are proud that we have given you and so many new-to-B&Bing guests a desire to continue enjoying ours and other B&B's in the future. We strive to make your stay a wonderful one.

First the good about Pinhook. We had a very nice stay at Pinhook Plantation. Ellen is very personable and makes you feel at home. The bed was comfortable and the bath was small and older but usable. The decor was really pretty. The breakfasts were really good. We had stuffed French toast, ham and cheese waffles, egg strata, fruits, bacon, and sausage just to name a few. The only down side was that Ellen has 4 cats and a dog that she allows to come inside. There was also a dog that didn't belong to her that she allowed inside. They come and go as they please. If I had known in advance I would not have booked here because I am allergic to cats. I had to buy antihistamines and take while we were there. We stayed gone during the day and mostly just slept there, but my allergies really acted up. We went into the gathering room where we ate breakfast one morning to find the long haired cat laying on the table where we had just eaten breakfast. I also sat in one of the chairs and when I got up there was a big wad of cat hair on my shoulder, so there is a lot of cat hair in this room. I just thought I should put this in the review in case there was someone else thinking about staying here that might be allergice to cats or not like the idea of cats being allowed on the table where you eat. If you are an animal lover and do not mind this then this is a great place to stay.
Innkeeper Response
Comments on this review were very positive on our hospitality, food and their stay in general and we are delighted that they stay all in all was a pleasent one.
Our website indicates that we are a pet-friendly B&B. Though we have had guests request a cat to sleep with (we really do), pets are not allowed in the suites and we do our best to keep them out of guest specified areas. We had no indication that there was a allergy problem...we ask when guests arrive of any allergies, along with time they want breakfast, coffee or tea, etc. Our apologies to these guests. We maintain and strive, as you can see by all our other reviews, for cleanlines, value, hospitality and dining quality.

My husband and I have stayed here twice. Everything is beautiful, the house the grounds. It is tucked away but a great find. Breakfast has been delicious every time. We would definitely recommend this to others.

My husband and I and some friends of ours stayed at the Pinhook Plantation at the end of a backpacking trip, and it was a wonderful way to clean up and relax before driving back home. The rocking chairs on the front porch were great; Ellen had chocolate chip cookies waiting for us when we arrived; she was also incredibly accommodating with our 60-lb dog (Boxer) that we had with us. On top of that, the price was comparable to a hotel, which wouldn't have had the comfort and friendliness of a B&B, along with a delicious breakfast of stuffed pears, fresh fruit, bacon, ham, muffins, and stuffed French toast.
4.4 on April 04, 2010
We had a family group, two of whom had never stayed in a B&B. Everyone had a great time. Beautiful location. Ellen & Don make you feel very comfortable and the Breakfast was outstanding. Hope we can go back.
4.8 on January 26, 2010
We were very impressed with the room accomodations...very comfortable, very quiet, and most welcoming! We had flight delays, and arrived late, but Ellen graciously accomodated us and delayed dinner for us. She is a very good cook! We enjoyed a gourmet breakfast and she even packed us a picnic basket lunch! We will most definately stay with them again.
5 on November 18, 2009
Wow, this was our first B & B experience and it was wonderful. The house was lovely. The room was awesome. We had such a great time with Ellen. She had wonderful breakfasts for us and cooked dinner for us one night. We definately didn't go hungry. She was so friendly and entertaining. Though the B & B was well off the main beaten path is was well worth the drive. We are planning on coming back next year for our anniversary. You will love it!

Attended a wedding at this B&B which was beautifully done. Stayed 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the food and host. What a lovely weekend!

Our stay at Pinhook was wonderful. Ellen made us feel like we were at home. The breakfast was outstanding. We are SO glad that we found this B&B - it was just what we needed for our weekend getaway.
5 on September 16, 2009
Our three night stay at Pinhook Plantation House was tranquil and relaxing. Each room has been carefully decorated for both beauty and comfort. Sitting on the front porch looking out over the wide open hills would give any guest inner peace. Each breakfast was a culinary feast (we certainly didn't need to eat lunch) and we so enjoyed getting to know our hostess over coffee and tea. The location might seem remote but we were amazed at the local offerings; even a glider plane ride! If we are back through eastern TN you can be sure we will be staying at Pinhook.
5 on September 02, 2009
Clean and comfortable room. Excellent service. Food was superb. Ellen was a gracious, warm innkeeper. One of our best B&B experiences.

We have been going to pinhook for the last 4 years and staying on our anniversary and on my birthday and Ellen has always made our stay so great the food is soooo good we feel very welcome and at home there we cant wait to come back And we tell everyone about pinhook and Miss Ellen
4.8 on August 13, 2009
After looking at the pictures of the rooms on the web, we were surprised when we arrived that they were larger and nicer than we had expected! Ellen is a great hostess and a very good cook - breakfast was really yummy. Views are pastoral - very nice to watch the moon rise over the treetops from the balcony. The hot tub didn't look all that well-maintained, but it was too hot for a soak anyway. All in all, this is a fine place and I'd recommend it to others!

Acme Packet Upgrades Session Border Controller Portfolio
With the increasing popularity of VoIP and unified communications in both small and medium businesses and large enterprises, companies are starting to see the importance and value of session border controllers. To meet the demand for more robust session border controllers, Acme Packet (News - Alert) has upgraded its portfolio, introducing the Net-Net 6300 appliance.
This new product is designed to address a couple of key drivers in the session border controller space. It will meet the growing need for increased throughputs and capacities, which has been driven by new applications, and it will provide a flexible architecture and deployment capabilities within the network.
The Net-Net 6300 is an improvement from the previous Acme Packet session border controller, the 4500, as the 6300 will bring the throughput up from 5Gbps to 40Gbps. This translates to up to 200,000 signalled sessions, 80,000 media sessions and 1,000,000 subscribers at the same time. It has a foundation of 64-bit symmetrical multiprocessing capabilities with an Intel (News - Alert) quad-core CPU design, which is said to deliver more than double the signaling performance.
"The system hardware in the 4500 constrained the transcoding and encryption capacity," said Jonathan Zarkower (News - Alert), director of product marketing at Acme Packet. "Most of what we see competitively is either in big iron platforms, or in COTS servers that are expensive to maintain and operate, because of their increased power consumption, cooling etc."
The product will address changing needs in the marketplace, as voice over LTW becomes more prominent and high definition voice becomes the norm in the industry.

Oscar Nominees gather at luncheon ahead of the big day
With just over two weeks to go until the big day, Oscar contenders gathered at the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles yesterday.
Over 160 of Hollywood's elite posed for photographers on the arrivals carpet at the warm-up event ahead of the ceremony which takes place on February 24.
A host of stars such as Denzel Washington, Hugh Jackman, Bradley Cooper, Steven Spielberg and Anne Hathaway were all smiles as they talked about their nominations and the competition.
Making history alongside Hollywood's veterans was 9-year-old Beasts of the Southern Wild actress, Quvenzhane Wallis, the youngest ever best actress nominee.
Totally unfazed by the cameras and press pack, when asked about her nomination, Quvenzhane replied: "I'm happy and excited, but it's something that you never think would happen at your age."
Actor-turned-director Ben Affleck, whose film Argo is in the running for seven nominations, spoke about missing out on a Best Director nomination, "We got seven nominations, including Best Picture. I'm elated by that. I've had many, many years watching from home."
Many of the ladies were asked what they would be wearing on the evening but kept their plans under wraps.
But Jessica Chastain, nominee for Zero Dark Thirty, could not help sharing her excitement: "Most little girls dreamed about their wedding dresses, but I always dreamed about my Oscar dress."
Les Misérables star, Anne Hathaway, said she is yet to decide what she will wear, "It was the Super Bowl, I couldn't think about dresses with all that fried food around."
One of Anne's Best Actress rivals, Silver Linings Playbook star Jennifer Lawrence, said she would be upping the glamour this year, "Last time was comfort, this year I'm like, 'Eh, suck it up, wear a corset."
The nominees are given a certificate recognizing their achievement and a coveted Academy Awards sweatshirt before assembling for the 'class photo'.

Graduates will also be provided a "mentor" to help ensure their success. The program, called Tennessee Promise, is planned to launch with the graduating class of 2015.
Community colleges are focusing more on workforce development than ever before. Certificate and two-year degree programs can often result in obtaining secure employment without the mounting debt many students and families incur at private institutions. Forecasts show that much of our increased workforce demand for the 21st century will require technical, advanced skill sets that community colleges are well prepared to provide.
Roughly 70 percent of first-time freshmen entering Tennessee's public community college system require remediation in reading, writing and math. Community colleges are equipped and experienced in providing a solid foundation for students to start and complete their course of study.
TCATs and community colleges are relatively cost-effective and Gov. Haslam's budget proposal would maximize tuition scholarship dollars. Annual tuition at Tennessee community colleges costs, on average, $4,000 compared to $8,000 at four-year schools. In fact, students who earn an associate's degree and transfer to a four-year university could save up to 50 percent in tuition and fees, according to a Tennessee Promise FAQ sheet.
It is estimated that the cost of the program will be $34 million annually. Gov. Haslam has proposed that funding for Tennessee Promise come from existing resources by interest from the newly established Tennessee Promise endowment along with other modifications to current existing scholarship programs. Some $300 million would be transferred from reserves of the Tennessee Lottery to create an endowment. The endowment will continue to grow as any net Lottery proceeds above the general shortfall reserve are added to the Tennessee Promise endowment.
Community colleges are increasingly becoming an attractive option for many students pursuing post-secondary training. This is true not only for high school graduates, but for non-traditional students pursuing technical degrees or certificates who are looking for flexible hours and lower tuition costs. Technical, targeted cohort programs can often be completed and certificates awarded in as little as seven months. Non-traditional students include single parents, working moms, dads, graduating high school seniors who remain uncertain which career path to pursue, or those students who choose to remain near home.
So now what? More details of the governor's program will be forthcoming as we move closer to the 2015 goal. One thing is very clear. No more excuses.
A community leader from a bordering county recently shared with me that for many families the cost was still a major impediment to obtaining post-secondary training.
Tennessee Promise helps to eliminate the financial burden that many families and students now experience. This program removes another barrier to improving the standard of living and provides support for students who desire more, but cannot do it on their own.
Recipients of these scholarships will have the opportunity, in many instances for the first time, to break the generational void of obtaining post-secondary education.
No excuses.
In the words of Robert Brault, "Success is a tale of obstacles overcome, and for every obstacle overcome, an excuse not used."

- Conference date: 1–7 May 2009
- Location: Kona (Hawaii)
We present results on two topics: a) The three‐dimensional (3D) Hybrid Heliospheric Modeling System with Pickup Ions (HHMS‐PI) simulations of shock waves and initial comparisons with ACE and Ulysses data for the Halloween 2003 solar events, including the Ulysses SWICS pickup proton densities; and b) Our analyses of Voyager 2 (V2) data near the termination shock (TS). Previously, we used our time‐dependent 3D Hybrid Heliospheric Modeling System (HHMS) for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of transient events originating on the Sun. We now have added the physics of "pickup" proton processes to these models. Interstellar neutral hydrogen flows into the heliosphere and becomes ionized by photoionization and by charge exchange with solar wind protons. These "pickup" protons cause a slowing and heating of the solar wind flow in the outer heliosphere. Both HHMS‐PI and HHMS use continuous solar inputs to simulate processes that originate at the Sun. Our V2 analyses identified some elevated readings in the plasma subsystem (PLS) data. It is tempting to interpret these at face value as detections of high energy ions (HEIs) which may interact with the bulk convective plasma through a two stream instability giving rise to the observed enhanced signals in the plasma wave subsystem (PWS).

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, TX (KVEO NEWS CENTER 23) — The county beach accesses that were closed have been reopened/
Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos has ordered the closure of only county beach access No. 5 & 6 on the north end of South Padre Island and Boca Chica beach.
The county has closed those areas due to extreme high tides and dangerous driving conditions. Law enforcement officers will be patroling the area to make sure no individuals or vehicles will be allowed to enter those areas.

I have looked around on these boards for a bunch of ideas but would like some specific advice
Next to my house is a very old sweet cherry tree. It is an amazing tree. It has withstood generations of neighborhood kids climbing it it has survived the demolition of neighboring houses and remanined beautiful and hardy in a rough urban lansdscape. It fruits and flowers amazingly. I am afraid it will not survive the inevitable redevelopment of the area. I would like to clone it so that I can plant a copy in my yard so it will live on in some way. It is my understanding that it is hard to propogate old trees like this what can I do to increase my chances of success. I am not an experienced gardener this will be my first spring with a garden after 10yrs of apartment life. I did grow up doing alot of work in the yard but I am a great killer of houseplants. Do I even have a chance here or is this a futile idea. |

Grafting is the prefered method IF you have time start some plants from seed collected from your tree & then graft onto on of these saplings May take 2 years till ready to graft.... Taking cuttings is problamatic. in late june find a 2-3 inch tip of firm NEW growth. apply 0.8% IBA (a rooting hormone) stick in well drained soil & mist. I would take 10-20 such cuttings since success is limited. good luck |

georgez5il, when taking cuttings from NEW growth on an old tree would you prefer the new growth from lower, horizontal limbs or new growth from the vertical limbs at the very top? |
If I were you I'd try to get some scion's from your old tree grafted on to a new cherry… either fruit cherry or flowering cherry. (Some people are successful in getting grafts crossing over to plums, cheeries, or pears.) Use new growth to make scion's, don't use old growth which likely has flower buds ready. The new growth would also work for cuttings you want to root. I don't think it will matter whether you take them from horizontal branches or vertical. |

Right now is a great time, take 10 cuttings dip in rootone and put in soil, or put some in a glass with a willow branch in water, soft wood, last years growth. tip the cuttings and it is a definate that it will root, talking to the cuttings helps. root away. carol |
Thanks for the replies. I will try a few different methods. I will try the cuttings I guess there is nothing to loose. I will look for new growth. If I put cuttings in soil can I leave them outside or should they be inside? |
Kenzo, did you manage to root the cuttings? Thanks. |
Anyway to get any hardwood cuttings off this tree? You can wait until it goes dormant. Cut some whips. This years growth. cut the top on a slant an the bottom next to the bottom of a bud and square. Put a five gallon bucket in the ground cut bottom out. Put sand in the bucket. Place the whips consisting of three buds in the ground upside down. cover with more sand or wet peat moss. Then wait until next May around the 15th take out should have some roots formed. Take and plant them out. Should have some cherry trees then. Sounds like a good tree to get some cuttings from. |

Follow us on the Curves Complete 90-Day Challenge!
January 23, 2012
We are a group of women on a common journey with a common goal: we're taking the Curves Complete 90-Day Challenge!
We all want to lose weight. Some of us desperately need to lose weight.
All of us face challenges, obstacles, struggles. All of us have tried to lose weight before and failed. Or succeeded and gained it all back. And then some.
This time, it just might be different. This time, we've all decided to try Curves Complete because we know diet and exercise alone don't work.
But that's still not enough. We also need to change how we think. About food. About our bodies. About ourselves. And that takes motivation.
Curves Complete is the only weight loss program that has all three: diet, exercise, and motivation.
Will it work for us? We'll know the answer in 12 short weeks. We're going to put it to the test to find out, and give it our best shot. And we'd love to have you follow us along the way!

No route to host means there's some network problem preventing connection.
Make sure you can actually ping / telnet to the server in question from the Nagios collector.
telnet ipofserver 80
If that is not successfully, then you need to check networking and routes.
If it is successful, then you might have some Nagios problem.

I love shootdodge as much as any person, but is there only the standard front, back, left, and right? or do you unlock more moves as you progress through the campaign?
If anyone remembers the Kung Fu mod for the original Max Payne, you had many additional moves. It made the gameplay considerably more dynamic, even with just a few additional moves.

By Mike Sager
Donald Graham
Durso is grabbing coffee in a shop near his office on Wilshire Boulevard a small drip with room. Through the storefront windows, down the street to the west, you can see one of those iconic signs that mark the city limits of Beverly Hills. He takes his cup to the fixings bar, gets down to business with the half-and-half and Splenda. To his right, a woman with long dark hair adds honey to her tea.
An accident-prone kid with nerdy black-frame glasses, Durso has been known variously through the years to his friends and tormentors as the Dirt Man, the Dirt Hole, the Turtle (in elementary school for his overlarge green down jacket), the Cheshire Cat (for when he was stoned), and the Penguin (for his turned-out feet and his double-hip-replacement waddle). "When I was younger, my head was always so stretched you could never see the real features," he'll say. "It was like, 'Here comes Durso, don't give him another cheeseburger, he'll explode.' "
When he was fourteen, some cool-crowd guys persuaded him to go rock climbing in the snow. Durso slipped and fell a great distance, had to be rescued by the East Fishkill, New York, volunteer fire department compound leg fracture, pins and screws, 209 stitches. He ended up losing forty pounds in the hospital and getting a lot of attention from the girls at school for a brief Edenic period, he was dating four girls from different grades, and his buddies were calling him the Sheik, after the brand of condoms. Then the girls found out and dumped him. "That was probably the high point of my love life," he says.
When he was twenty-one, after an Everclear-punch party, Durso passed out in a living-room chair and his buddies trucked him (in the chair) fifteen miles and deposited him in a stranger's front yard, where he awoke the next morning, beneath a blazing sun.
When he was twenty-four, his fiancée left and took everything but his drums it turned out she was having an affair with the girlfriend of the bass player in his band. Years later, Durso ran into the ex. She was tending bar in a dive. She looked at him and sneered, "Oh my God, it's ancient fucking history." Deep down he thinks maybe that's why he doesn't like to accumulate anything: because he doesn't want anyone to ever take it all away again. Especially a woman.
Somewhere along the line, Durso decided he'd "rather be the dog who wants you to pet his head than the dog who bites your fucking leg." He has this notion that the cosmos eventually delivers everything you need, so if you don't talk to the person next to you, you might be missing your destiny. "It's like, God's letting me know, There's somebody here you need to hook up with. But I don't know who it is. He doesn't tell me, like, It's the guy with the brown hair and the yellow shirt. It's just, there's somebody there I'm supposed to meet."
In Jerry's Famous Deli in Studio City recently, he approached a seventyish woman wearing a clingy knit minidress with black and white horizontal stripes and matching kneesocks turned out she was a semifamous actress; he gave her his card. On the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, he beelined inexplicably for a scowling black girl with a red Mohawk of twelve-inch spikes turned out she was supersweet; he gave her his card. In the sushi restaurant near work, he chatted up a waitress with short short-shorts from Osaka okay, this one couldn't understand a word he was saying; he gave her his card. He has more than a thousand e-mail contacts, three hundred phone contacts, five hundred LinkedIn colleagues, thirteen hundred friends on Facebook so many, in fact, that he's thinking of starting a new page. Lately he's begun to wonder: How can all of these people really be your friends? Maybe the term should be Facebook acquaintance?
Here in the coffee shop, Durso can't help noticing this woman next to him. She's little and cute, with a good figure and nice energy. Yet something about her says lonely hearts. He can't help wondering: Could destiny be knocking? Is this a person he's supposed to meet? It's been more than a year since his ex-girlfriend left town, the last time he had a permanent roof or a steady source of intimate affection. (Her daughter hated him, made his life hell. He has this joke about standing over a girlfriend's sleeping kid in the middle of the night and brainstorming different ways to end its life.)
From his palette of voices he chooses the radio announcer warm and resonant, available for voice-overs: "What's up, bright eyes?"
She looks at him. Her eyes are indeed bright. At the moment they seem to be saying something like: Are you fucking kidding me?
Warren Durso is the kind of guy you have to know to love a five-foot-seven-inch, 175-pound Italian sausage sub from upstate New York. Residing as he does in Hollywood, a town infamous for screwy values and astoundingly beautiful people and people who spend astoundingly in their quest to make themselves beautiful, sometimes with frightening results Durso is both oddity and everyman, the soul of us all uncovered, the naked underneath.
Looking in the mirror, Durso sees a "big cement-block head" covered by a thick helmet of graying hair, the kind that "grows up instead of down." (Oddly, he shows no sign of male pattern baldness, even at the temples.) His eyebrows are bushy twin caterpillars; his ears are large, low-set, and distinctly elfin. His neck is reminiscent of a bullfrog at full croak a puffy, stubbled, flesh-colored drape that extends from his cheekbones all the way down to the collar of his T-shirt, as if to shield his precious jawline from general view. His uncle Wally used to tell him he had the kind of nose best suited for picking fruit meaning he could hang from a tree branch by his "big guinea beezer" and pick apples with both free hands. Another Uncle Wallyism: "It looks like you fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down."
Some mornings I wake up and look in the bathroom mirror and I'm like, "Forget it. I give up."
The first girl I was ever engaged to left me for a chick. It was a long time ago, but I haven't recovered. To this day, I still look in the mirror and say to myself, "I have tits, too. Couldn't we have worked something out?"
Stuffed proudly into his size-34/29 jeans since the mortification of viewing a short film he made in 2008, in which he played himself having sex with a female version of himself (the tag line: Go Fuck Yourself), he has lost 110 pounds Durso's body is a landscape of pratfall, calamity, and unfortunate genetic recombination. "Sometimes I wonder if I was born on the wrong side of the bed," he jokes.
Durso's father, Dominic, was handsome and athletically gifted, the son of an immigrant Italian farmer who died prematurely at forty-six, leaving Durso's dad to raise his five younger siblings at the expense of turning down a shot with the Chicago White Sox' farm team. Later Dominic Durso became a traveling quality-control engineer for IBM. He was gone a lot. His job was finding fault with things. He always suspected his own third son, younger than his second by seven years, had come damaged from the factory. "He used to say they should have put me on a boat out to sea, which is what they did with all the rejects in the old country, I guess."
(His sainted mother, the former Lucy DiLandro, would always tell him he was handsome, with an award-winning personality. Then she'd make him something to eat. His favorite snack: "Her homemade tomato sauce, the ragu, with either bits of sausage crumbled in it or meatball or vegetable. Crack eggs over top and let 'em cook. Add roasted peppers and onions and hollow out a big piece of Italian bread and dump all that in the middle." )
In elementary school, riding his big brother's bike, Durso was hit by a car. In high school, he broke his leg riding a motorcycle, and then again skiing the leg was reset slightly askew, causing the foot to angle outward. Besides the scar from the compound fracture, he has scars on either hip (replacements at age thirty-four); three scars around his abdomen from hernia operations involving injured testicles ("When you're a little brother, you know, you're always an experiment"); four on his cheek from when he was a toddler and the family terrier dragged him by his pudgy face around the yard; and two more between his eyes, one from a plywood Frisbee that went awry on a windy day, and one from a beer bottle he tried to stop a guy from smacking around his girlfriend in a bar and the girlfriend turned on him.
Either of those last two incidents could easily have blinded Durso, which would have been a shame for many reasons, the most ironic the fact that once people get to know him once women in particular get to know him they always comment about his sparkling gray/blue/green eyes, set like jewels behind his glasses, within the fleshy recesses of his face, the tricky sort that change color with their surroundings.
"You work around here?" Durso persists.
"Right across the street," the woman with bright eyes says lifelessly.
"That's our building." He points down Wilshire, away from the Beverly Hills sign, toward a postwar brick utilitarian with a billboard occupying the airspace above. It is the oldest structure in their immediate view, which bestows a certain charm.
"I always think that's such a beautiful building," she says, softening.
"Of course, we don't own it. We just rent an office." He smiles pridefully, careful to keep his lips in the down position to cover his gaps mercury fillings gone bad; he has plans to get a complete makeover at the dentist, he just hasn't had any time. "What do you do across the street?"
"I work for a motivational speaker."
"That must be very ... motivating."
The timing is perfect a modest bon mot. She laughs openly and with appreciation, and with some amount of relief, no doubt, that this troll who is trying to talk to her is actually kind of funny. She tilts her head slightly, as if seeing him in a new light.
Without hesitation he hands her his card.

Review: Sleep at Gothic Theatre, 1/3/14
Tom Murphy
SLEEP at THE GOTHIC THEATRE | 1/3/14
Cannabis is legalized here in the same week Sleep comes back to Colorado to play a show. Coincidence? Whatever the case, this show surpassed the last time the outfit played at the Gothic in September 2010. Something just seemed more coherent and focused this time around; the glacier of thundering sound was inexorable and irresistible as it rumbled over an invisible landscape, grinding it down with a dynamic fluidity often imitated but rarely, if ever, equaled in the world of heavy rock.
See also: Weed's legal now. So you're all stoned and need a soundtrack? Try some stoner metal, bruh
Tom Murphy
Drawing largely from its two best albums, Sleep's Holy Mountain and Dopesmoker, Sleep put together two smoldering hours of music. From seeing one of the loudest bands playing quiet pieces -- with Al Cisneros and Matt Pike facing their amps, not to generate feedback so much as having more control over those delicate moments -- to seeing the way the band sketched outlines of songs and then breathed life into them with lingering rhythms, hanging chords and rippling low end, the set felt as cinematic as it was sonically imposing.
Tom Murphy Sleep at Gothic Theatre
"Dragonaut" had a smoother quality than the studio recording, as did "Aquarian." After the band played "Holy Mountain," somebody in the crowd yelled out a request for the same tune, and Cisneros simply said, "We just played that." (Perhaps the big haze that hovered in the room explained the redundant request.) At the end, Sleep treated us to an extended take of "From Beyond" and slipped in some lyrics about Voyager exploring other planets. But for all of the words can about the future and outer space, the music certainly seemed to come from deep down inner space.

Partners in Prayer aims to introduce people to the land of the Bible by exploring God's Word and traveling to the nation of Israel. We put wings to the mandate given to us by scripture, "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and the entire world will be blessed because of you." Genesis 12:3. Visiting the land of Israel is a great way to bless and be blessed!
2015 Israel Tour Highlights
Join Partners in Prayer May 3-13, 2015 as we journey to the land of the Bible, to the land of Yeshua (Jesus).
Arrival at Netanya on the Mediterranean
We will arrive and travel to the beautiful coastal town of Netanya on the Mediterranean Sea for our first night.
Caesarea / Mt. Carmel / Jezreel Valley
The next day we will start our journey going north to Caesarea where Peter met the Roman Centurion. On Mt. Carmel we will remember how Elijah met the prophets of Baal and how that message has meaning today as well as looking out over the Jezreel Valley (sometimes called Armegeddon). We will visit or be able to view other places that are equally of significance. We will arrive at the Sea of Galilee where we will stay in a kibbutz right on the shores.
Sea of Galilee
During the time in the Galilee area, we will visit the places where most of Yeshua's ministry took place – Capernaum, Mount of Beatitudes, Korazim, Magdala, Banias (Ceasarea Phillipi) and travel up to the borders of Israel in the Golan Heights. We will stand and pray looking into Lebanon and Syria. There will also be a visit to an olive oil factory). A highlight is always our time at the Jordan River as we experience the waters of baptism (mikvah – immersion) showing a change of status in our walk with Yeshua and in preparation for the journey up to Jerusalem.
Dead Sea / Masada / Ein Gedi
From the Galilee we will journey south to the area of the Dead Sea to Qumran where the Dead Sea scrolls were found and where a community of Essenes were looking for the Messiah but missed Him. We will go to Herod's mountaintop fortress, Masada and have an opportunity to relax in the waters of the Dead Sea after checking into our hotel. On the way to Jerusalem, we will visit "Nahal David" the freshwater spring at Ein Gedi Nature Reserve which is a lush oasis in the Judean Desert overlooking the Dead Sea.
Once in Jerusalem, we will look over the city as a blessing is pronounced. In Jerusalem, we will begin with an overview from the Mount of Olives and walk down the path to the Garden of Gethsemane then cross the Kidron Valley. We will visit the Upper Room on Mt. Zion, share a time of communion at the Garden Tomb, ascend the Temple Mount (site of the first and second temples), the City of David, The Davidson Center and the Southern Temple wall excavations.There will be time for prayer at the Kotel (the Western Wall); a time to remember and say "never again" at Yad Vashem (the Holocaust Museum) and a visit to Mahane Yehuda the marketplace.
There will be an opportunity for shopping, planting trees in remembrance of loved ones or for yourself, donating blood, plus new sites and other activities we will be sharing over the next few months.
As we travel through the land, we go with open hearts and minds to "hear and obey" (Sh'ma) what we hear the Almighty speaking to us. We will have prepared our hearts in such a way that we will know without a doubt that we will never be the same and will say, "next year in Jerusalem!"

I had an excellent sour cream ranch dressing at a restaurant not long ago,and of course they won't part with the recipe. It was made from scratch, no mixes, and I'd like one I can adjust if necessary. All I know is that it has sour cream, garlic and parsley in it. No mayonnaise or mix, but tastes like maybe tarragon, and I don't know what else. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I didn't taste the dressing you are talking about....but likely inclusions would be salt, black pepper, lemon juice or vinegar and very often MSG. Linda C |
This place prides itself on not using MSG. If they did, I'd have an allergic reaction (main reason I have to make my own in the fist place), so I am fairly sure they are telling the truth that they don't use it. Black pepper might be in it, but it is not "sharp" enough to have vinegar or lemon juice. The tang tastes like it is just from the sour cream. I'll start with this, maybe some paprika, and go from there. Thanks for suggesting the black pepper! |
I also am allergic to MSG....but I find I get a better Ranch dressing using butter milk and mayo....like the original recipe, than sour cream Butter milk and mayo....about 2/3 buttermilk. Garlic salt, parsley, black pepper....and a biut of something sour....a dash of rice wine vinegar, and a scosh of cayenne or tobasco...not much! Linda C |
I wonder if I could use buttermilk with sour cream. Aha! Cayenne instead of paprika! Much better idea. :-) One way or another I'll figure something out, and it helps to have suggestions. Thanks!!! |

A little background, this LED sign uses a Serial-to-USB adapter to connect to the machine, with the USB cable plugging directly into the sign.
My laptop (which i want to use this on) does not have a serial port so i purchased a USB-to-Serial adapter to make the connections.
The LED application only allows me to connect to the COM1-COM4 ports so i updated COM1 to connect to ttyUSB0 and a connection can be made. However when trying to download the message itself to the sign i receive an error message saying "response error".
A connection to the sign is clearly made, however its not downloading the information. Does anyone have any suggestions as why this could be happening?

I'm using english again because lately i feel that my english become worse. Suddenly I remembered what someone in some workshop say to me "I'm not good in english, but I will do my best". Because life is all about doing our best right?
So, here I am. Posting in my page because I'm in "doing my best" phase.
Oh, I wanna sharing about the important of environment that we life.
What i wanna say is "You're just a small piece in this world". Some people can judge you a genius one, but some peoples can critics you cause of your "weakness". Which one of zone that you've to live? The zone that you accepts more critics than compliments. That zone, that environment. Because that's a growth zone. Critics can make you wanna do your best, it's makes you trying harder. It's hard, b.c. it's life. So gets socialize, expose the world, make some friends, and learn from them.
I'm saying this not because I've experienced, kkk~ I'm also trying to do :)
And what the synchronize with the title? Nothing, i just re-reading the books b.c. I'm getting bored from doing nothing. Waiting job's interviews and the other tests. Haa~ i'm feeling useless right now that i wanna cry. No, i did.

Donald Kaufman on Choosing Colors
"The best advice I can give," Kaufman says, "is to use as few colors as possible. Try to calm it down."
By Ingrid Abramovitch
When the Metropolitan Museum of Art was looking for a palette for its newly renovated American Wing, it turned to a master colorist: Donald Kaufman. Finding a single shade that works equally well with a Trumbull or an Eakins is all in a day's work for Kaufman, who, along with his wife and business partner, Taffy Dahl, is one of the nation's preeminent color consultants. Since founding his firm in 1976, Kaufman has achieved almost mythic status as a color guru, selecting the tones for everything from art collectors' homes to the offices of high-tech firms. "The best advice I can give," Kaufman says, "is to use as few colors as possible. Try to calm it down."
Bright Star
The Perfect Hue
World of Paint
Name Game
Kaufman's Rules
1. Use like intensities: If you have gray-green in one room, dont put bright green in the next room.
2. Acknowledge local conditions and adjacent structures. To find a color for the exterior of your house, check out your neighborhood.
3. Spend time looking at all the elements in a space furniture, windows, the color of the floor.
4. Use complementary colors. Get a color wheel. If you have yellow walls in a kitchen, use a pale blue in the dining room.
5. Tone it down. Find the color chip you think you want, then look for a quieter version, as it will look much brighter on the wall.
6. Dark colors make a small room feel larger. They make the walls recede.
7. The cost is in the labor, not the paint. So go for the gold in materials.

Most of my dahlias have survived the first couple frosts with only minor damage but now it seems like many varieties are opening up in the center that were fully double a month ago. In general it seems that dahlias prefer somewhat cooler weather so I thought they would continue nicely after the first frosts. What do you think is causing this now? Shortening day length perhaps? Or maybe just general end of season stress? On a positive note, my Maarn dahlias are still putting out lots of nice fully double ball form blossoms. :) Victoria Ann is still producing nice flowers too.
Looking in Specialty Cut Flowers by Allan Armitage I see that day lengths below 11 hours have been shown to have a deleterious effect on blossoming of dahlias. My day lengths are now a bit below the 11 hour mark so maybe this is part of the cause of my defective flowers. - Steve |

Hi Steve. guess that is not much of an answer but most dahlias have a tendency to show open centers and weak necks late in the season. Not all dahlias but many. Some say you can partially overcome this by foliar feeding late August or early September. Hope this has been some help to you. Steve in Baltimore County. |

I haven't been fertilizing my dahlias very much. Perhaps they are running low on nutrients by the end of the season. |

Hi All, I've added examples for sparc and sparc64 stage spec files to CVS. In further testing catalyst, I found a possible bug with the current example x86 runscript. If genkernel or the kernel specified in the livecd-stage2 spec file are masked, catalyst doesn't die. Granted this shouldn't happen, if the spec file was written correectly and genkernel is stable for a given arch, but it might be a nice check to add. Is there additional and/or forthcoming documetation about the runscripts? -- Jason Wever Gentoo/Sparc Co-Team Lead

Author Notes: It was one of those obnoxiously gorgeous Mediterranean summer days in Barcelona when I parked myself at a tapas bar for a snack and a little people-watching. To supplement a couple of my favorites (patatas bravas and a plate of jamón), I ordered espinacas con garbanzos-- spinach with garbanzos-- a classic Catalonian dish that was remarkably simple and delicious. After the first bite, I knew I wanted to eat it again and again, and upon my return home, I set right away to making my best rendition of it, and this recipe is as close as I could get without booking a ticket back to Spain. - vvvanessa
Serves 4-6 as a side dish
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (preferably Spanish) plus more for serving
- 1 small shallot, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 pound fresh spinach, cleaned, dried, and roughly chopped
- 1 15 1/2-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- lemon wedges for garnish
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil and shallots in a large saucepan over medium-high. Sauté for about 4 minutes, or until the shallots begin to soften.
- Add in the tomato paste and stir to combine with the shallots.
- Add the spinach and continue to sauté until it wilts. Add in the garbanzos and continue to cook until the liquid from the spinach evaporates and the beans are heated through. Take care not to scorch the ingredients, turning down the heat as necessary.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature with drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Greens
