Barcelona had bid to host the Olympic Games in 1924, 1936, and 1940, without success. In 1986, when the IOC awarded the 1992 Olympic Games to Barcelona, it was considered by many to be in honor of IOC President [Juan Antonio Samaranch], as he was a native of Barcelona. But the Barcelona Olympics became the Games of the New World Order, and they were the most highly attended Olympics in history, both in terms of countries and athletes attending. After four consecutive Olympics with some form of protest or boycott, the Barcelona Olympics were boycott-free.

Blizzard's world-renowned action role-playing game, Diablo III, has finally made the transition to Playstation 3 after being released on PC the year before. The end result is a near-perfect port that does the franchise justice
As the hero, you are sent to investigate a star that falls from the heavens and hits Tristram Cathedral, burying itself beneath the building's foundation. Decker Cain and his niece Leah were inside the cathedral researching an ancient prophecy when it was struck by the object. Leah escapes with her life, but Decker Cain vanishes without a trace. You are asked to search for Decker Cain and to uncover the truth behind the falling star.
Like the PC release, the player can choose from five different classes- Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk, Witch Doctor and Wizard. The character creation process is simple and involves selecting your character's gender, class and inputting a name. And while it's required for the PC version, Playstation 3 gamers are not required to create a Battle.Net account to play the game. This decision simplifies the process and allows the player to start gaming immediately.
The game spans five chapters as the player explores the outskirts of New Tristram and eventually High Heaven. As you explore the enormous game world and its many cities, you will encounter a number of merchants where you can buy and sell items as well as repair your armor. There is an Artisan NPC in every town that can teach you either the blacksmithing or jewel crafting craft skill. These skills will grant you the ability to craft armor and weapons, but the quality of these items will vary based on your overall crafting level.
Also important to your character is a stash box (or storage container) that can be found in every town you visit. Since your character's inventory tends to clutter up quickly, you will find yourself making numerous trips to town to unload valuable gear. The stash box starts you off with 20 slots, but additional ones can be purchased later.
The gameplay has been streamlined for console gaming. For starters, the complex inventory system from the PC version has been replaced by a more attractive inventory window that scrolls vertically. The drag and drop mechanics for equipping armor and weapons are now reduced to pressing the X button. The armor categories are cleanly laid out around your character in the inventory screen, and your character's Skills, Party details, Quest information and Lore can be easily accessed by pressing the L1 and R1 buttons.
Aside from these changes, Diablo III plays identically to its PC counterpart. Combat is still gory and action packed as you massacre Dark Cultists, Highland Walkers, and other demonic abominations. Creatures explode as you hack them to pieces; decapitated heads roll away after being severed from their bodies; and explosions send body parts flying in all directions. The combat experience is definitely one of a kind.
The controls have made a flawless transition to Playstation 3. Every button on the gamepad has a function. The X button is used for basic attacks, while Square, Circle, and Triangle are assigned to special skills as they unlock. The L1 button accesses healing potions, while R2 executes your character's special attacks. Moreover, the world map can be viewed by pressing down on the directional pad.
Initially, Diablo III's biggest attraction was its player-based auction house. Similar to MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, the player could sell armor, weapons and trinkets to other gamers for real currency. Once a sale finalized, Blizzard would receive a percentage of the sale and the remainder of the money could then be either deposited into Paypal or stored in your Battle.Net wallet.
Sadly, Blizzard made the decision this year to omit the auction house system from Diablo III. While not perfect, it provided a new platform for gamers to interact. Plus, it reduced the amount of illegal gold and item farmers in-game.
Diablo III continues to exceed all expectations as a console release. It blends solid hack-and-slash gameplay with an intuitive, console-friendly menu system. As an action role-playing game, Diablo III is one of the best action role-playing games available today on Playstation 3.

Hello. I was hoping someone could tell me if this moss, growing in central Florida, was harmful to the trees. If so, is there any way to get rid of them?
Thanks... |
Follow-Up Postings:
This is actually a lichen rather than a moss, and nope, it's not harmful. It's just growing on the bark of the tree, rather than being any kind of parasite. Patrick Alexander |
- Posted by plantfreak z9aKyushuJapan (My Page) on Tue, Oct 11, 05 at 16:48
As Patrick said, no, but if they cover the branches and the leaves of the tree look smaller than normal, discolored, etc. then you may have a disease problem. Lichens will often colonize diseased bark and while they are not the specific cause of the problem, they can be an indicator there is a problem. This however not always the case. If your trees look happy, then there probably is no problem. I've seen overgrowth of lichens on diseased azaleas and crape myrtles, but not much else. |
The common name for your lichen is Ball Moss, which is pretty unsightly as it thrives in declining trees and shrubs. Pay close attention to the overall health of your plants, try to invigorate them by pruning out dead branches, by mulching, and by some conservative fertilization in the Spring. If I had a heavy infestation of Ball Moss (a relative to Spanish Moss...also not a moss, but a lichen), I'd remove them by hand or by clippers. Not because they are causing serious problems for the plant but because they are so darned big and homely. They are a real problem in nurseries. |
- Posted by plantfreak z9aKyushuJapan (My Page) on Fri, Oct 14, 05 at 20:00
Sorry rhizo1 that ain't ball moss, but a lichen. I've never seen problems with ball moss (except for its unsightliness), but occasionally spanish moss will overwhelm a smaller tree. |

I have been reading about some of the interesting soils described here by Al and others, and am excited to try some of them this spring. I think it's really great that you guys are willing to share your time and expertise to help others become more proficient gardeners. My question regards the value of S.T.E.M. as micronutrient source in a potting mix. I am focused on the first word, soluble. If I incorporate a Tbsp of S.T.E.M. into 3 gal pine bark etc., I would expect that it would get washed away pretty quickly and not function as a long-term source of micros. The product sheet from Peters that I came across describes its use in fertilization, rather than as a medium-term ingredient in a soil mix. When I first read the recipe for the 5-1-1 mix, I was unfamiliar with S.T.E.M. and I assumed that it would function as a slow-release source of nutrients. What is the anticipated lifespan of S.T.E.M. in the soil? Would it not be better then to use Dyna-Grow FP or something where the micros would be applied consistently, rather than relying on CRF and S.T.E.M. where the micros may get washed away relatively quickly? Or is the feast-and-starve routine sufficient for micronutrient application? Is there an alternative to S.T.E.M. for soil incorporation that might be more effective and long-lasting? Sorry to bombard you with questions about this - I'm trying to assemble my ingredients now, and I'm trying to decide whether to use CRF/S.T.E.M. or stick with FP application. I would imagine this has been discussed here before but my search did not turn anything up. Thanks,

Try Scott's Micromax for anything long term where you feel you might need supplementation of the minors. http://www.scottsprofessional.co.uk/files/NgOqkZKeQR.pdf STEM isn't very persistent, so you'd need to apply frequently, which would probably nullify the reason for using CRFs in the first place. It's hard to beat regular applications of FP. Al |

Hi Alex. Dynamite's Organic All-Purpose is a 3-month release with micros. They may have other CRFs+micros in their product line, but I have obtained excellent results with this one. |

Thanks guys, that's helpful. After reading through 3 binders worth of "Container Soils" threads a couple of months back, I don't know why I had S.T.E.M. stuck in my mind as a suggested micro ingredient for the soils. Thanks, 41, I appreciate an alternative to the Micromax since the Micromax seems difficult to find in anything smaller than a $90 bag. The Dynamite product you suggest is described as a complete organic fertilizer including all essential micronutrients. I have seen it stated that organic fertilizers are not well suited to use in containers since they likely do not contain the right populations of microorganisms needed to metabolize the fertilizer to its active form. What's your take on this, with respect to Dynamite? Thanks again, |
- Posted by fortyonenorth (My Page) on Wed, Feb 15, 12 at 22:39
Alex - I've read that too, but it hasn't been my experience. I start all my transplants in a soil mix which includes about 1/3 of Dr. Earth's potting mix. It's an organic mix which has forest humus, worm castings, mycorrhizae fungi, and some other good stuff. These comprise a small fraction of the mix, but apparently enough to jump start the processes necessary to break down the organic ferts. If you're using a 100% "soilless" mix, I would suggest adding some well-aged compost or similar organic ingredient to accomplish the same objective - not so much as to affect the aeration and drainage of your mix, though. I'd keep it at <5% of the mix. In any event, I find that incorporating a fertilizer charge into the potting mix a few weeks prior to planting provides good results. |
MG - Earth Juice's 'Microblast' is another possibility as a source for the minors if you're still thinking along those lines. I've always squeezed the best results out of all of my plantings by paying closest heed to the soil's structure, rather than any potential nutrient content, and relying on good soluble fertilizers that provide nutrients in immediately available form as the nutrient source. I much prefer the precise control and surety of nutrient delivery of that approach, to any of the many other alternatives I've tried. Al |
I am going to try this in my 18 gal. 511 containers for vegetables this year.Supposed to contain micro-nutrients and calcium. http://www.scotts.com/smg/catalog/productTemplate.jsp?proId=prod10600024&itemId=cat70048&tabs=general Reading from the label it is 9-4-12 and contains: 3.5% calcium The label is a bit vague on application. Talks about diameter of the container. Like that helps huh? I may use FP if things look like they need it. |
- Posted by maple_grove 6 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 21, 12 at 12:51
Thanks, Jay that's very helpful. Looks like it doesn't contain the ultramicros (boron, molybdenum, etc.) but otherwise it looks pretty good. I always wondered why Osmacote doesn't sell something like this (or anyone else for that matter, as far as I could tell). We'll see how the price compares... |
In case you give it a shot, I contacted the MG people about the application and they say to go by the rates as written. I can't say I agree. At worst I guess it could be applied on top and mixed in to the top inches as shown on the label. |

Dadeville, MO, Apr 23, 2012 -- USDA, Rural Development recognized the Village of Dadeville for completion of improvements to the water system with loan funds made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The village received a $390,000 low-interest loan to construct a new standpipe, new pump controller, and a permanent liquid chlorinator. The new water storage and equipment will alleviate health and sanitary standards caused by insufficient water storage. The village can now continue providing safe, reliable drinking water serving 100 customers in the local community.
"There are no more important ingredients to a healthy community than safe, reliable water," said U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill. "I'm thrilled the Village of Dadeville will be able to use these resources, and I'll continue working to equip our rural areas with the tools necessary to improve the health and well-being of the community."
"This effort to improve the drinking water for Dadeville is the result of great partnerships with everyone working together to meet the needs for an environmentally safe water distribution system, stated Anita "Janie" Dunning, Missouri State Director for USDA Rural Development. "I commend all the partners for their hard work in making this project a reality. Special thanks are extended to our federal elected officials including U.S. Senators Claire McCaskill and Roy Blunt, and U.S. Representative Vicky Hartzler for being strong supporters of funding for essential services for rural Missourians."

At ComeSitStay, canines dart about an outdoor play area and a spacious, specially designed interior bordered with clear glass walls. An experienced staff watches over dogs during the full day of daycare, which comprises 5–12 hours of running; lounging in cushy chairs, mats, and a pool; or playing timed chess with other dogs. The 3,500-square-foot facility also has an open floor plan—from the lobby, visitors can peer in through large windows to watch as pups bound about the play area and get primped in the grooming room.
Camp Bow Wow provides a fun, safe and upscale environment for dogs to play, romp and receive lots of love and attention!

The skilled doctors and veterinary technicians at Superior Veterinary Care restore luster to teeth, attend to pets' comfort, and vanquish fleas and debris from fuzzy companions' coats. Before teeth treatments, dogs fill out a short personality profile and give a blood sample, which the canine gurus screen for problems in areas such as the kidneys and liver. Gas anesthesia sends furry friends into a gentle slumber while medical equipment closely monitors the heart, respiratory system, and temperature throughout the procedure. An ultrasonic cleaner moves in to scale tartar buildup off enamel, and then the hospital's chomper experts buff each tooth to a pearly shine. Like a stop sign fastened to a toothbrush, the dental cleanings can keep oral bacteria out of the bloodstream and prevent damage to the dog's kidneys, heart, and liver.

I am planning a gut and remodel of the only bath in my home. The info I have found here has been invaluable in helping me make the myriad decisions that come with such a process. The bath dimensions are 7' wide, with one exterior wall having a new Andersen window, by 8' long; not quite 8' ceiling. 3' along the long wall is not inside the footprint; it's a hall-entry linen closet, and the remaining 5' on that wall is taken by the alcove tub. This leaves about a 4x8 floor surface. There will be a 3' long vanity along the wall opposite the tub, as well as the toilet.
I would like to remove the cast-iron radiator and rely solely on electric radiant-floor heat, but have gotten some feedback that there won't be enough floor mass for that to be as effective as I will need in the winter (I live in Zone 5 in the Northeast.) Since the rest of the house is heated with cast-iron baseboards, my plumber advises that to maintain the same heat-retention properties, I would be best off replacing the vertical-fin radiator with a 4ft length of cast iron. Finally, I'm replacing rectified porcelain mosaic tile in the bath with marble basketweave mosaic. I never found the porcelain to be extraordinarily cold underfoot; will the marble be any colder? Has anyone here relied solely on in-floor heat in the northeast with a similar footprint? Should I plan on doing both in-floor as well as baseboard? Thanks to all who can share their experiences! |

Tina, We are just finishing up a new bath in zone 4 (MN) with marble basketweave floors. I did the in-floor radiant heat, and it feels MORE than adequate to heat the bathroom. However, building code in our area requires that there must be a secondary heat source. We put in an electric toekick heater under the vanity. In your case, since you already have a radiator in the bathroom you could do a hydronic toekick heater. (We have those elsewhere in the house to replace some ancient radiators and they're great!) I have marble floors in my powder room and they are freezing cold. Not a big deal since no one ever has bare feet in there, though. If you look at the "best bath decisions I made" threads, countless people mention their heated floors as being the favorite feature. HTH! |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Thu, Feb 23, 12 at 11:24
It should be enough. Interestingly, many of the bathrooms in my area (Phila) have no heat in the bathrooms, relying solely on the small size and the heat from the shower to heat it temporarily, so maybe I think anything would be enough. |
The safest answer is to say that numbers need to be run on the room to figure out your BTU requirements. Depends on interior wall, exterior wall, windows, insulation, the ceiling, etc. As to how many BTUs electric RFH can supply, that's dependent on how many square feet of mat you can put on the floor and what system you choose. Bathrooms generally lose out in the floor-to-wall ratio due to tub, shower, toilet and cabinets taking up floor space. When you shop for a mat, look at its BTU/sqft output. It's directly correlated to the mat's watt consumption. The maximum you'll find with any above-floor electric FH system is 15watts per sqft (51BTU/sqft), the most common is 12w/sqft (41Btu/sqft). Technically, yes, a mat could put out enough BTUs to adequately heat a bathroom. If you do install electric in-floor and electric baseboard, the baseboard can be secondary to the floor mat. |

I'm assuming you are going to install a fan? If so, why not get a panasonic with a heater? They work great see link below |
Here is a link that might be useful: Panasonic fan with heater and light

If you don't mind a really cold toilet seat and waiting 5 minutes for the hot water to warm up the shower, then it might be "enough" if the house is well insulated. It will never heat the room to 65 degrees when it's 20 outside though if this is the typical under insulated older home. |
I have radiant floor heat and a heated towel bar/radiator. And I still often turn on the overhead heat lamp when I get undressed! The floor heat is wonderful -- highly recommend. There are some places around the toilet and at the back underneath the washstand that don't have the heater cords underneath and you can really feel the difference! |
Thanks for all the input; it's been really helpful. Shanghaimom, I did a 'step test' with a 12x12 marble sample I had on hand, and you're right; it is so much colder than the tile. That has convinced me to install floor heat, even if it's only a secondary source. I had no idea that hydronic toekick heaters existed; the quotes I got all mentioned 'electric fan toekick heaters', and I didn't want to go that route. When discussing with my contractor last evening, he was very supportive of the hydronic solution; now I just have to make sure that the unit will fit under the 'door' side of my vanity (will need to access it for service, so it really shouldn't creep into the drawer side of the cabinet.) Fingers crossed! Mongo, thanks! I'll do my homework on the BTU calculations; thanks for pointing out what to look for. Lynneblack, thanks for the vent/fan/light combo idea. I've read on the boards that the Panasonic is a great unit, but one of the two items I'm keeping from the current bathroom is my Nutone melon vent fan/dimmable light. |

The Best Blu-ray & DVD Releases of the Week! 'La Notte,' 'The Fury,' and a Low Budget 'Bounty Killer'
Features By Rob Hunter on October 29, 2013 | Comments (1)Welcome back to This Week In Discs! If you see something you like, click on the title to buy it from Amazon. Bounty Killer The future! Corporations grew too powerful and went to war with each other with the real victims being the rest of society. A council was organized to issue bounties on the heads of CEOs responsible for the apocalypse, and Drifter (Matthew Marsden) and Mary Death (Christian Pitre) are two of the best bounty killers to answer the call. Throw in an army of Juggalo-like Gypsies, Gary Busey, and the female Terminator from Rise of the Machines (Kristanna Loken), and the two bounty killers are forced into a surprising fight for their own lives. This low budget, post-apocalyptic action/comedy packs more fun, creativity, and clear love for movies into its ninety minute run-time than far too many big Hollywood productions manage these days. Sure there's overly excessive CGI abuse (some of the blood/explosions), but there's also a lot of bloody practical effects, cleavage, and impressive action sequences. Even better, the damn thing is surprisingly funny too. Director Henry Saine and his co-writers deserve a shot at the big leagues. (But not before we get a sequel please.) [Blu-ray/DVD extras: Behind the scenes, trailer]
Review: 'Byzantium' Is a Refreshing Take on the Vampire Genre
Movie Reviews By Jack Giroux on June 27, 2013 | Be the First To CommentFrom The Company of Wolves to Interview with a Vampire, director Neil Jordan has made some of the most entertaining, if modest, melodramatic treasures of the horror genre. There is a certain moodiness he brings to these worlds, especially if there's fangs involved, that leads to a unique canvas that's easy to lose one's self in, flaws and all. That remains the case for his latest vampire picture, Byzantium, an intimate and yet occasionally grand picture. Jordan milks every gorgeous location at his disposal to tell Clara's (Gemma Arterton) story. Clara, who grew up during in the Napoleonic Wars, has adjusted easily to her vampire lifestyle, although she's still trying to figure out how to be a good mother to her unsatisfied daughter, Eleanor (Saorise Ronan). The two have lived as wanderering loners together, never staying in one place for too long. There's a reason why: vampirism is a brotherhood, making Clara and Eleanor outcasts in the boys club. When Clara turned, she was rejected by her fellow vampires, forcing her to get by on her own. Cutting to modern day, an unknown vampire shows up to chase Clara down, causing her and Eleanor to once again pack up and start a new life. With the help of a bumbling hotel owner, Clara convinces him to allow her and her daughter to stick around in his dwindling family business. Clara, a stripper/prostitute, turns the man's dying motel into a brothel. For a small portion of the film, Byzantium becomes the Risky Business […]
'Byzantium' Trailer Introduces the Idea of Vampires With Coke Nails
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 21, 2013 | Comments (1)If you're anywhere near being a vampire fanatic, then chances are pretty good you know who Neil Jordan is, because he's the guy who directed Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in the adaptation of Anne Rice's famous vampire story Interview with the Vampire. Well, it turns out Jordan must have developed a taste for those who have a taste for human blood, because his latest film, Byzantium, is also about undead bloodsuckers. Perhaps even more important than what it's about though is the fact that Byzantium is a gorgeously shot epic that stars Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton. This is important because Ronan is clearly one of the strongest young actors working, and Arterton could possibly be as well, although I've only seen her in mostly terrible movies, but she sure is pretty though, and, oh—just go watch the trailer. It's got vampires that kill people with coke nails.
Tribeca 2013 Review: 'Byzantium' Gets Lost in Its Own Seduction
Movie Reviews By Daniel Walber on April 19, 2013 | Be the First To CommentVampire movies are about sex. This has become practically a rule, and that's totally okay. I have no problem with Taylor Lautner winning Best Shirtless Performance at the MTV Movie Awards. But if you're going to make a movie with irrepressibly erotic vampires, you should figure out why you're doing it. The problem with Neil Jordan's Byzantium is that it so drips with sex it loses purpose. It has elements of every recent incarnation of the genre, moments of horror and action and myth-making, but in the end it's more of a bland vampiric soup than anything with real bite. Saoirse Ronan is Eleanor, two centuries old but trapped forever in her teenage years. She feeds only on those ready to die, which typically means the silent and fading elderly. She writes of her life but then tears up the pages, knowing that no one can ever know who she truly is. This secrecy is under the rule of Clara (Gemma Arterton), a woman the world knows as her sister but who we can easily see is her mother. "My savior, my burden, my muse," Eleanor writers of Clara, whose torrential personality and dangerous profession only exacerbate their tense relationship.
Release Date Round-Up: David O. Russell's Untitled Gets a Holiday Date, 'Interstellar' Gets Dated, 'Fruitvale' Moves Up, and More
Movie News By Kate Erbland on March 13, 2013 | Comments (1)In the latest addition of Release Date Round-Up, just about every single film that needed a release date gets dated, or at least this giant installment of everyone's favorite release date feature (sure) makes it seem that way. We've got dates for every kind of film under the sun (vampires! true life trauma! comic book movies! historical dramas!), including a hefty number of totally new dates (and a smidgen of some simple change-ups) for many of the films. What we're saying is, there is a lot of stuff here, so better pull out your day planners and get cracking on configuring your movie-watching for the rest of the year. After the break, find out when you can see David O. Russell's untitled reunion with his Silver Linings Playbook stars, Christopher Nolan's next, and seemingly everything else in between. Your wallet is about to take a big hit.

You see a super-hot guy from across the room and your knees go weak. Something about him makes you think you're soulmates. Are you totally imagining things?
THE TRUTH: Yes and no. Having an instant attraction to someone can happen, but long-lasting love can't be c reated in an instant. How an you love someone youdon't even know yet? A great relationship comes from knowing the other person and accepting his flaws along with his obvious good parts.
MYTH MAKEOVER: Instant connections can lead to love but also to great friendships.

With people taking to the twitter machine to broadcast what they're thankful for to the world, it is clear that nobody — literally nobody, except for maybe 30 or so very wealthy people and a couple of internet trolls — is thankful for Gary Bettman. Here is a (very) small sample of said sentiment.
Oh hey props to that #Flyers fan for confronting The anti-Christ the other day. And by the anti-Christ I mean Bettman

In my holiday movie, @nhl Bettman's wife tells him to stop acting like a douche bag and locks him out of the house on Thanksgiving.

I would be thankful if Gary Bettman got fired and ended the lockout
— Derek Gilbreth (@dtgil13) November 22, 2012
Nothing makes a holiday happier than casual internet vitriol.
Unfortunately, for those of you who want him fired, I don't think that NHL owners monitor twitter when debating important business decisions. In fact, if Barack Obama saying they need to sort it out didn't get it sorted out, well… This isn't going to end well.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends!

Log message: Update to 3.1.1: NEWS for rsync 3.1.1 (22 Jun 2014) Protocol: 31 (unchanged) Changes since 3.1.0: BUG FIXES: - If the receiver gets bogus filenames from the sender (an unexpected leading slash or a ".." infix dir), exit with an error. This \ prevents a malicious sender from trying to inject filenames that would affect an area outside the destination directories. - Fixed a failure to remove the partial-transfer temp file when interrupted (and rsync is not saving the partial files). - Changed the chown/group/xattr-set order to avoid losing some security- related xattr info (that would get cleared by a chown). - Fixed a bug in the xattr-finding code that could make a non-root-run receiver not able to find some xattr numbers. - Fixed a bug in the early daemon protocol where a timeout failed to be honored (e.g. if the remote side fails to send us the initial protocol greeting). - Fixed unintended inclusion of commas in file numbers in the daemon log. - We once again send the 'f' sub-flag (of -e) to the server side so it knows that we can handle incremental-recursion directory errors properly in older protocols. - Fixed an issue with too-aggressive keep-alive messages causing a problem for older rsync versions early in the transfer. - Fixed an incorrect message about backup-directory-creation when using --dry-run and the backup dir is not an absolute path. - Fixed a bug where a failed deletion and/or a failed sender-side removal would not affect the exit code. - Fixed a bug that caused a failure when combining --delete-missing-args with --xattrs and/or --acls. - Fixed a strange dir_depth assertion error that was caused by empty-dir removals and/or duplicate files in the transfer. - Fixed a problem with --info=progress2's output stats where rsync would only update the stats at the end of each file's transfer. It now uses the data that is flowing for the current file, making the stats more accurate and less jumpy. - Fixed an itemize bug that affected the combo of --link-dest, -X, and -n. - Fixed a problem with delete messages not appearing in the log file when the user didn't use --verbose. - Improve chunked xattr reading for OS X. - Removed an attempted hard-link xattr optimization that was causing a transfer failure. This removal is flagged in the compatibility code, so if a better fix can be discovered, we have a way to flip it on again. - Fixed a bug when the receiver is not configured to be able to hard link symlimks/devices/special-file items but the sender sent some of these items flagged as hard-linked. - We now generate a better error if the buffer overflows in do_mknod(). - Fixed a problem reading more than 16 ACLs on some OSes. - Fixed the reading of the secrets file to avoid an infinite wait when the username is missing. - Fixed a parsing problem in the --usermap/--groupmap options when using MIN-MAX numbers. - Switched Cygwin back to using socketpair "pipes" to try to speed \ it up. - Added knowledge of a few new options to rrsync. ENHANCEMENTS: - Tweaked the temp-file naming when --temp-dir=DIR is used: the temp-file names will not get a '.' prepended. - Added support for a new-compression idiom that does not compress all the matching data in a transfer. This can help rsync to use less cpu when a transfer has a lot of matching data, and also makes rsync compatible with a non-bundled zlib. See the --new-compress and --old-compress options in the manpage. - Added the support/rsync-no-vanished wrapper script. - Made configure more prominently mention when we failed to find yodl (in case the user wants to be able to generate manpages from *.yo files). - Have manpage mention how a daemon's max-verbosity setting affects info and debug options. Also added more clarification on backslash removals for excludes that contain wildcards. - Have configure check if for the attr lib (for getxattr) for those systems that need to link against it explicitly. - Change the early dir-creation logic to only use that idiom in an inc-recursive copy that is preserving directory times. e.g. using --omit-dir-times will avoid these early directories being created. - Fix a bug in cmp_time() that would return a wrong result if the 2 times differed by an amount greater than what a time_t can hold. DEVELOPER RELATED: - We now include an example systemd file (in packaging/systemd). - Tweaked configure to make sure that any intended use of the included popt and/or zlib code is put early in the CFLAGS. |

Log message: Changes 3.1.0: OUTPUT CHANGES: - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567). See the --human-readable option for a way to turn it off. See also the daemon's "log format" parameter and related command-line options (including --out-format) for a modifier that can be used to request digit-grouping or human-readable output in log escapes. (Note that log output is unchanged by default.) - The --list-only option is now affected by the --human-readable setting. It will display digit groupings by default, and unit suffixes if higher levels of readability are requested. Also, the column width for the size output has increased from 11 to 14 characters when human readability is enabled. Use --no-h to get the old-style output and column size. - The output of the --progress option has changed: the string "xfer" was shortened to "xfr", and the string "to-check" was \ shortened to "to-chk", both designed to make room for the (by default) wider display of file size numbers without making the total line-length longer. Also, when incremental recursion is enabled, the string "ir-chk" will be used instead of "to-chk" up until the incremental-recursion scan is done, letting you know that the value to check and the total value will still be increasing as new files are found. - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (a new line for protocol 31, but only output when --delete is in effect), and 3) to follow the file-count, created-count, and deleted-count with a subcount list that shows the counts by type. The wording of the transferred count has also changed so that it is clearer that it is only a count of regular files. More... |

Inattentive driving could soon cost you $124 in King County
The Metropolitan King County Council has approved a new traffic infraction — inattentive driving — with fines that could bring in about $75,000 next year.
Seattle Times staff reporter
You know the problem on Seattle-area streets. A green light means you go as soon as the driver in front of you is done texting.
To fight this, and other forms of dangerous cluelessness, the Metropolitan King County Council has approved a new infraction: inattentive driving.
Did we mention the infraction, imposed as part of the county's 2013 budget, also would raise money for the county?
In what county officials call a conservative estimate, they predict the new charge — at $124 per infraction, the same as Seattle and Bellevue charge — would bring in about $75,000 next year.
That's small change in a 2013 general-fund budget of $684 million. But as the council has noted, distracted driving resulted in 122 deaths in King County between 2004 and 2008. And, police have reported that incidents of distracted driving are increasing.
The council unanimously approved the new infraction Monday, making it a secondary offense, meaning police officers can't use it as the primary reason for pulling a driver over. An officer would have to have some other cause to stop the driver.
It would become effective next year, with the 2013 budget. According to a council report, inattentive driving includes talking, eating, putting on makeup and attending to children. Using cellphones and other electronics also are considered distractions.
And unlike the more severe offense of negligent driving in the second degree — driving that is negligent and endangers a person or property — inattentive driving would not impact your driving record for insurance purposes or result in suspending your license. It also wouldn't count as a violation that could later classify a driver as a habitual traffic offender.
"I like the fact it doesn't raise insurance rates or criminalize" the infraction, said Councilmember Kathy Lambert. She also noted the new charge doesn't flatly prohibit drivers from eating. "It's saying you can't do that to the point of inattention."
As a council analyst reported, the new charge is "essentially a plea bargain." It aims to get people to acknowledge they weren't driving safely while a more severe charge, such as negligent driving, may not be warranted.
And the new charges come with a side benefit. All revenues collected as a result stay with the county, unlike the state "use of a cellphone" violation, which requires the county to split infraction fees with the state.
In proposing the new charge, county Executive Dow Constantine wrote it "would provide the Prosecuting Attorney and defendants an additional tool to use in the resolution of contested infraction cases."

helps to rule out the possibility that the positive results are due to random error, bias, or confounders.
The committee's process of reaching conclusions about deployment to a war zone and its potential for adverse health effects was collective and interactive. Once a study was included in this review because it met the committee's criteria, there were several considerations in assessing the strength of associations. They were patterned after those introduced by Hill (1971) and include presence of a temporal relationship, strength of the estimated association, presence of a dose-response relationship, consistency of the association, and biologic plausibility.
If an observed association is real, exposure must precede the onset of disease by at least the duration of health effect induction. The committee considered whether a health effect occurred within a period after deployment that was consistent with current understanding of the natural history of the health effect. The committee interpreted the lack of an appropriate time sequence as evidence against association but recognized that insufficient knowledge about the natural history and pathogenesis of many of the health effects under review limited the utility of this consideration. Without a temporal relationship being established between exposure and outcome, other evidence to support the association becomes useless.
The strength of an association is usually expressed as the magnitude of the measure of effect, for example, relative risk or odds ratio. Generally, the higher the relative risk, the greater the likelihood that the exposure-effect association is causal and the lower the likelihood that it is due to undetected error, bias, or confounding (discussed above). Measures of statistical significance, such as p-values, are not indicators of the strength of an association.
Small increases in relative risks that are consistent among studies, however, might be evidence of an association, whereas some forms of extreme bias or confounding can produce a high relative risk. The statistical power of a study was important for it had to be able to detect effects of an unspecified magnitude, especially important for negative results. This factor explains the committee's inclusion criteria regarding statistical power.
The existence of a dose-response relationship—that is, an increased strength of association with increasing intensity or duration of exposure or other appropriate relation—strengthens an inference that an association is real. However, the lack of an apparent dose-response relationship does not rule out an association. If the relative degree of exposure among several studies can be determined, indirect evidence of a dose-response relationship may exist. For example, if studies of presumably low-exposure cohorts show only mild increases in risk whereas studies of presumably high-exposure cohorts show larger increases in risk, the pattern would be consistent with a dose-response relationship.

I've found that you can get the ink from a cheap pen, such as a Uniball Gel
Impact RT (which you can find in bulk at any office supply store or Wal-mart),
fits the casing and the opening of this pen perfectly--although I must say that
the ink from the Impact RT is much more runny and thicker than I would have
liked. It beats expensive refills!

this is a pain to tolerate (the pen kept rolling off my desk), so I got the
removable clip on a very cheap Pentel Sharplet-2 Mechanical Pencil and pried it
to where it would snap onto the cap of this pen. If the lack of the clip is as
bothersome to you as it was to me, you should try to find that pencil or any
pen/pencil that has an adjustable clip.

Well, as luck would have it, I finally found a product that is amazing on black smooth cooktops. After using all kinds of cleaners, I found my last can of spray Jubilee Kitchen Wax (had ordered a bunch from SCJohnson) and tried it. Gosh, it was great...no more 5 min. of buffing to get smears off. No hazing. Dirt gone.
Now, the problem. They do not make this product anymore and I am curious about a substitute. Does anyone know of a product like Jubilee? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I remember Jubilee kitchen wax from the 50's. My Mom used to use it on her linoleum kitchen floor. She'd wash the floor with Spic and Span powder, then apply Jubilee wax. I remember having her yell at me if I attempted to enter the kitchen while the wax was drying. I'm pretty much amazed you could find this product. |
I too remember it and how my Mom used and liked it. According to the S C Johnson site, they suggest using their Pledge® Protection Plus, that can meet a similar need. |
Here is a link that might be useful: about Jubilee
- Posted by kathleenca (My Page) on Fri, Dec 3, 10 at 21:50
Hi pcweary, Well, I had a fit when I saw Jubilee was discontinued, & wrote SC Johnson. Yes, it's gone & yes, they recommend Pledge® Protection Plus or regular Pledge, depending on the material of the surface. I feel as though I've lost an old friend. So I went to Orchard Supply Hardware (a smallish chain on the West Coast), which has an extensive cleaning products section. I noticed products specifically for cooktops, but wanted something like Jubilee, that can be used on chrome, porcelain, stainless steel, etc. I found CLR Metal Clear, which cleans Corian, porcelain, chrome, SS, aluminum, laminated countertops, granite & enamel. CLR MC is a liquid, as Jubilee used to be, & I have high hopes that it will be a good replacement for Jubilee. |
Here is a link that might be useful: CLR Metal Clear
Does anybody know where to buy GlassWax? When I was a kid, my Mom had a set of Christmas stencils she would tape to a windown, then dab a sponge in GlassWax and apply it to the stencil. If you wanted color, you could mix food coloring in with the Glass Wax. My kids never got to see this, they're grown now. But maybe someday I'll have Grandchildren who would appreciate coloring the windows. The best part, of course, when the season was over, all you had to do was tale a soft cloth and rub the designs off, and your windows woukd be clean! |

Angelson Takes Helm at Worldcolor
October 2009MONTREAL—He's back in the saddle again.
Mark Angelson, whose illustrious executive career has carried him from leading posts at Big Flower (Vertis) and Moore Corp. to RR Donnelley, now finds himself in perhaps the biggest challenge of his career. Angelson, 58, has been named chairman and CEO of the newly rebranded Worldcolor, formerly World Color Press and Quebecor World, as it attempts to re-establish itself after emerging from bankruptcy protection.
The company also revealed that incumbent CEO Jacques Mallette will leave the company to pursue outside business interests. This move comes on the heels of the announcement that CFO Jeremy Roberts would be stepping down early this month.
Angelson was named non-executive chairman back in June but, like a top-flight coach who is hired in a consultant role, it seemed only a matter of time before Worldcolor would tap Angelson's managerial expertise. Boasting one of the leading M&A portfolios in the history of the printing industry, he is credited for much of the growth that RR Donnelley has enjoyed during this decade. Perhaps his crowning success on the transactional front was his shocking Halloween 2006 acquisition of Banta Corp. during a takeover attempt by Cenveo Inc.
The leadership change would seem to signal a more aggressive approach to growth for Worldcolor. Harris DeWese, principal of Compass Capital Partners and a longtime expert on mergers and acquisitions in the printing industry, expects the move to pay early dividends for the embattled printer.
"I believe that Mark Angelson will bring an orderly approach to decision-making and create an atmosphere of entrepreneurship to transition Worldcolor into the new order of graphic communications," DeWese said. "I would anticipate that Worldcolor's profitability will show early improvement under his guidance."
Angelson arrived at Moore Corp. in 2000, as part of the Bob Burton regime that turned the troubled printer around. In 2003, Moore joined forces with Wallace Business Forms to create Moore Wallace, which then married RR Donnelley later in the year to knock Quebecor World off the No. 1 perch of North American printers.
Now the tables are turned.
"I am honored to be asked to lead a company with such deeply talented and dedicated employees as we begin a new chapter in our storied, century-long existence," Angelson said in a release. "My first priority will be working with our sales force to further strengthen our customer base. I will simultaneously lead an assessment of our operations and management, and make recommendations to the board with a view to optimizing our business in the current challenging economic environment.
"The excellent employees of Worldcolor have performed admirably during extraordinarily challenging times," he added. "I look forward to working closely with them to build upon the promise of a fresh start and restore Worldcolor's position as the preeminent provider of print, digital and related services for the benefit of all our stakeholders."

I have not a clue what you're trying to argue about. I said the guy should be fired and placed on a terrorist watch list. And you're somehow trying to claim that I'm trying to deflect the issue away from him. My statement is quite simple and clear.
Question: Would you questioned the authority of DHS for firing Kimathi over his off duty off site web site had he been a white supremest and hairs site call called for the murders of white people?
Yes. Now a question: Does an employer have full, unquestioned and absolute authority to fire someone over what the employee posted online? And keep in mind, while apparently trying to disagree with my claim that there are questions about an employers right to fire in such cases, you posted this:
Answer: I never said anything about "unquestioned and absolute authority to fire someone over what the employee posted online". Your question was disingenuous in that you expect me to debate that personal conduct outside of the workplace is 100% hands off or hands on for the employer. Employers have a right to protect themselves against slander or libel. They also have the right to protect themselves when an employee's actions that are off the clock and or off the job site against anyone are malicious. What are they protecting? The answer is: their employees, good will, business relations, stock price) and other assets (tangible and intangible) However there are guidelines and rules that have to be followed. Why? To protect the rights of all parties. Basically anyone (person, club, corporation) has the right to protect themselves against libel and slander. In this case Kimahi's web site advocates actions that are malicious to white people. To be more precise white people who are Americans. Kimathi's employer is DHS. The purpose of DHS is to protect all Americans. Has no choice but to terminate or suspend Kimathi. If DHS turned a blind eye to Kimathi's off the job malicious activities then they would be at a risk for being libel if Kimathi actions cause injury or death to an American citizen. Here are some guidelines: http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/_/dict.aspx?rd=1&word=Libel and Slander Everyone of sound mind should be held accountable for conduct that is deliberate and harmful to others. These types of transgressions can be settled in criminal or civil court as well as in the HR department of an employer.

Posted by dealswelike on April 29, 2014 | 7 Comments
AirTran's A+ Rewards program is ending November 2, 2014, and all credits currently in your account will be rolled up into your Southwest Rapid Rewards account. All A+ credits will be converted as 1 credit = 1,200 Rapid Reward points. This is the same conversion as transferring your credits now. If you typically earn and redeem AirTran credits know that November 1 is the last day to put these credits to use.
More importantly, this means November 1 will be the last day to convert your Southwest points to a Southwest standard award. Standard awards have different availability then Southwest points and are capacity controlled. If a flight you are looking to book is more then $137 each way and has availability with the standard award, you can actually use less Southwest points for the exact same flight:
- Transfer 19,200 Southwest points (worth $274) to AirTran. This will convert into 16 A+ Reward credits.
- Transfer your 16 A+ Reward credits back to Southwest. This will convert to a Standard award (good for 2 one-way tickets and expires within 1 year of conversion)
You can learn more about transferring Southwest points to AirTran here.
It is also the last day you will be able to extend the life of your Standard award for one more year. By transferring your existing Standard awards from Southwest to AirTran and back to Southwest you are able to extend the expiration date, which has worked out fabulous for both myself and I know many readers! You can learn more about this here.
Free 750 Southwest Points
Due to the programs being combined, if you link your AirTran account to Southwest you'll earn 750 Southwest Rapid Reward points (worth ~$10 towards a "Wanna Getaway Fare"). You must complete the verification process by May 23, 2014 to earn the bonus points. This seems to only be available for those that received the targeted email, so go back and check your email!
Thanks to InsideFlyer for sharing this news.

Might you be able to advise me. If there is only a standard award available for one let of a flight I would like to take can I simply transfer 9,600 pts and book a one way flight?
Thanks for all you do!!
CG said,
One more ? Do they not allow Freedom award booking any longer?

@CG – Unfortunately you cannot transfer for a one way. You can, however, transfer 18,200 pts for two one ways. Use one way now and another one way at a later time.

Is there anyway to view if a flight is available under the "old" award system without having any awards available? How can we check whether that is available or not?

@CG – I believe so.

@CG, I transferred enough point 19200 to Airtran and then back to Southwest for a RT standard award and Freedom awards are still offered. Just remember that would be 19200
points for a one way. Still may be a heck of a deal if seats are available, since last minute one ways can be 30-40k points.
I see no way you can view inventory unless you have at least a STandard award?
