CGP Grey released an amazing video today: Humans Need Not Apply, which is basically about how we are now entering our second ecno-techno revolution (the first was with basic atomization and the doing away with a bunch of basic labour as humans and horses were replaced by brainless machinery) where by new smart bots are going to be replacing a whole lot of people in the work force and new high tech jobs are being created at a tiny tiny fraction of the rate of other jobs being destroyed. Paper napkin estimates could place job displacement/unemployment easily from 25% to 45% in the not to distant future. Don't believe? Charlie Stross has been banging on for a while now about how self driving cars will fairly rapidly replace any other kind of cars which has second order effects like killing any kind of paid driver from limo to taxi to buy to trucker to heavy machinery like at mines to dump truck driver. And the same can be applied across just a shocking number of industries. Seriously though, just go watch the video.
Done? Ok. So maybe now it's time to talk about Basic Income [or this interesting article] (again) yes? I think we need to just drop any kind of "but it's supporting the freeloaders" style arguments. Already now I'd argue they aren't worth your time because there is a lot of evidence in support of many socialist programs and safety nets that even though they do bleed into some of that, over all they are a boon to society as many "able bodied" and "hearty contributor" citizens are able to bounce back more rapidly (or at all). But that's nothing compared to the fact that very soon half of all of us may be unemployed with more on the way. As CGP Grey mentioned, the Great Depression was at unemployment levels of a "mere" 25%. Anyone want to imagine the economic collapse we'd be facing at higher levels of rampant poverty and starvation and lack of ability to support yourself? If a quarter to half the population around these parts suddenly couldn't get by? And this will be just about as bad for the other half still employed because they will be deriving their wealth from the economy, which, as we said, will be in free fall collapse. So basically everyone is doomed if that happens.
So again I say, Basic Income. Economy is pretty much defined as the velocity of the flow of money (I'm not an economist). We need people to have money to spend to keep it all working for the few people still "contributing" and extracting additional wealth that way. Also for the reason we don't want everyone to starve to death in our robot utopia future. Finally we have gotten rid of scarcity and work and yet everyone is poor and starving except the robots and maybe the 1% (maybe)? Only humans…
There's another effect of this though. Tax. Corporate tax to be exact. If the majority of people aren't extracting wealth from the economy except in the form of Basic Income, then all the big gains will be made by corporations, that will now be "staffed" largely by robots. If those are the big and really only instruments of economic wealth generation, then that's where all the tax will have to be extracted from to support all us humans. And hey, why not, because Corporations are people too now you know :)
More and more people are starting to think this way from Switzerland who is actually voting on it in a referendum soon, to The Expanse Series of books I just finished reading incorporating it, to more mentions in the news. I think we need to all start discussing and implementing it pretty quickly, for all our sakes. There is a wide range of ways to do it so lets try to skip over arguing about if and just move to how. We may be starting to run short on time.
Edit: And after posting this I learned about the vibrant community over at the sub-reddit r/BasicIncome so welcome to anyone there visiting, and anyone else? You should head over there and look at all the discussion. Reddit comments here.

Xach Holmon has a new blog entry Keeping a Journal. It's a good read, encourages journalling privately as a memory aid and refresh that may allow you to make new connections later. It could be an interesting approach to the new social I was mentioning. Start as a journalling app, private, with lot of tagging and meta data options (Xach mentions geo tagging especially for photos). Then add on some good search, and charge for use. Then start layering on top some options to share some posts, evolve posts from private rough drafts to public forms, keep live notes/etc going and volia, a potential privacy focused social network/life blog.
Also, Charlie Stross's and his character Manfred Macx's use of blogging in the first chapter of Accelerando has always fascinated me. Again, one platform with solid private/semi-public/public features. It really seems to be the future solution.

There is a lot of new tech I want to learn this year. To that end I've started MongoDB University's M202: MongoDB Advanced Deployment and Operations which Trulioo is sponsoring me to do in that I can spend sometime at work studying, which is awesome! Other things in no particular order I want to learn about and use before year's end include:

I've been raving about Peter Watt's IAPP presentation The Scorched Earth Society all week. It's dense and seems to tie in to a bunch of other stuff in tech, like social networks and Google Glass, to name a few that have come up.
On Social Networks, I think the current generation (Facebook and GooglePlus) are coming to the end of running their course. Not saying they will go anywhere soon, but they have peak, and the evidence is around. Google Plus just gave up their 3 year fight on real names, as the try and beg people to use their platform and they noticed that was the most easily remedied of the reasons people aren't. As for Facebook, I have more and more friends not using it because it's now over full. They have co-workers, and worse often, family on it, and they don't want those people seeing how they live their social life and even though Facebook has made token attempts to make security a bit better, it's no where near the level that people need it to be so they just stay off, and more hilariously, ask their friends to not take their photos and absolutely not post those to social networks. Also even with the current set up it is a house of cards, one good Facebook security shake up and again all your settings are reset to what they want and until you notice, data is leaking again.
The solution isn't obviously forth coming yet, but we can guess a bit at it's shape. When asked what a more private social network would even be like, "It is adding a lot of difficult code that limits the amount of information that can be shared…. sharing is the life blood ads value of a social network." it become a bit more clear. That's only one function of them. Both Google (gmail actually) and Facebook have released emotional hit you at home ads about documenting your entire life on their services and using it as a rich digital scrap book. That is actually an entire service that can be done fairly easily privately. Very little sharing actually needed there. The next big service they provide me is communication, quick messages and real time chat, and light event organizing, again, privacy isn't a hindrance but a requirement of this service. I think the last decade can stand as a very long case study in the argument that the "all your personal and social information should be public" hypothesis is very fundamentally wrong and naive. We need a new social network that is privacy focused with option to share some information. As for monetization? Again, the future's problem but off the top of my head? I already pay for dropbox for storage, so $ for space seems like one venue. Companies pay for communication tools. Anyway, like I said, rough sketch of what might come down the line in the next decade.
As for Google Glass? From a discussion earlier with a friend as well, "hypothesis: if we did tests with random people, the further a camera was away from eye mounted the less creeped out random people report being. test with google glass, some neck mounted one, a wrist mounted one, regular cellphone and a cam corder (both hand "mounted"). I'd say possibly google glass's biggest 'sin' is it's just 'rude'". After watching a video of people using Google Glass he even reported having a bit of a hard time making eye contact with them. And more and more reports pour in of "Glassholes" and everyone else's terrible reaction to people wearing glass. I think it ties into some pretty deep brain stuff. Mammals and other animals have a long evolutionary history of eye based communication and culture, and now dropping a new digital third eye infront of yours, people being less able to tell when you are paying attention, and the fact it could be always recording and dumping to google (and therefore, legally, the US government) viscerally and deeply creeps people the shit out. And I think a bunch of Geeks just yelling from the Google mountaintop that society will have to change to suit their needs… well good luck. I think the final solution to wearable computing will look a bit different.
Me? I'm liking gloves for input (Imogen Heap's Mimu are a step in that direction) and possible neck/shoulder mounted devices (like some MP3 players already). We can definitely keep the audio commands, and get audio feed back if we want. Tie in bluetooth gloves for richer input (sorely lacking with glass). The big gap still is rich output, which Glass awkwardly provides. That is a little less obvious. Se we will see.
Anyway, I (again) want to get back into blogging more, this was meant to be a quick brain dump (of many) but it grew a bit (dumping the week). See you again soon hopefully.
Reading: Abaddon's Gate
I've been reading The Ego Tunnel by Thomas Metzinger (recommended by the back matter in Peter Watt's Blindsight). It's been working through the parts that make up consciousness, but what caught my attention was the discussion on mirror neurons, specifically about how they are probably tied into our own self model, but when we consciously "put ourself in someone's shoes" we are focusing on our self model, but having it simulate someone else. In more hardware speak, we seem to only have one available hardware model of a person that we usually route all our senses through, but when interacting with others, we can use it to simulate them. This can lead to empathy, because we are "feeling in ourselves" what they are (or at least what we suspect they are), but to a bit lesser extent, since we don't actually have any of the antecedents (other neural signals in the other person that spawned the feeling in them) re-enforcing it. But this also happens passively and unconsciously, it's how we can learn actions, and also unconsciously understand other people's intentions as we view them acting.
The book drops off just as it starts to discuss the possible social implications, in that this system is what gave rise to human social society and culture, and our storey telling and learning from it and "folk psychology". Then it moved on but it made me think about more current video media and possibly why we and especially I like it so much. In watching characters act out lives on the screen, it is probably largely being interpreted and run through our mirror neuron / self model system in a deep way, then this is actually creating bits of feelings of what it would be like to be that person in us. It allows us to actually lightly feel like being someone else, explore other ways of being, and also usually lot's of excitement and action (because TV). And also then the other neural and chemical side effects from that experience (adrenaline, dopamine etc). So it's no wonder we as a society lately and again me especially find this experience so intoxicating and addictive. It gave me some interesting insight into the process we may be going through watching tv and why I keep coming back for more (even reruns of things I enjoyed, because memory is not the same as "reliving" it). It also may explain different taste in viewing choice, because different people want to feel different things, "try feeling like other people" or have other experiences they may feel are missing in their lives.
We are weak willed and media has given us a very addictive tool we don't entirely understand to get a lot of different and often strong experiences and stimulus, it is no wonder we find these things addictive. Maybe a little understanding will help me temper that a bit in the future.
An example of the dangers of this: when I come home tired from a day at work, why try and get a feeling of further accomplishment by expending lots of effort hacking on my personal work when I can fire up an episode of Elementary or a movie like Iron Man and get a bunch of that feeling "simulated" into me. We have a dangerous rabbit hole here we could all loose our selves down.

Current Time
From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
More is more at Chicago's new music industry hot spot (formerly the House of Blues hotel), extroverted both stylistically and socially. A neighbor to the iconic 1964 Marina City (a.k.a. The Corncobs), Sax banishes the minimalism that has given design hotels a cold name, substituting a rococo sense of style in its 353 rooms: snakeskin wingback chairs, paisley-embossed leather headboards, and painted silhouettes of phantom chandeliers. Though the service is uniformly helpful and frequently enthusiastic, the Sax is not a place to cosset yourself away in your room. The House of Blues club next door ensures a steady stream of performers, as well as roadies and managers, creating a high-energy scene in the lobby, with its glass columns and check-in desks. Club patrons and hotel guests congregate in the lounge, Crimson, perching on a tufted red leather couch under a deer-antler sconce. For guests only, there is also a groovy technology lounge stocked with laptops, video games like Guitar Hero, downloadable music, movies, and HDTV screens, which are wired together so that Xbox players can face off from across the room.
2008 Hot ListWhen to go: Year-round, with Thursday through Saturday nights best for party people.
Which room to book: South-facing one-bedroom suites that overlook Marina City.

Runaway LyricsArtist: Linkin ParkAlbum: Runaway Under the sky of dust A constant wave of tension On top of broken trust The lessons that you taught me I learned were never true Pre chorus: Now I find myself in question They point the finger at me again Guilty by association You point the finger at me again I wanna run away Never say goodbye I wanna know the truth Instead of wondering why I wanna know the answers No more lies I wanna shut the door And open up my mind Paper bags and angry voices Under a sky of dust Another wave of tension Has more than filled me up All my talk of taking action These words were never true Pre chorus Chorus I'm gonna run away, and never say goodbye Gonna run away (2x) I'm gonna run away and never wonder why Gonna run away (2x) I'm gonna run away and open up my mind Gonna run away (4x) Chorus I wanna run away and open up my mind (Repeat until end)

Helping Humber Achiever Perfection
Phil Humber threw his perfect game on Saturday, using just 96 pitches.

There's no shortage of cool patients in these parts, and I just met another who has CHOC to thank for a bright future.
Pacer's first family meal didn't happen until he was 4 years old. Until then, he ate through a feeding tube, never experiencing a Thanksgiving feast, Halloween candy or birthday cake. But thanks to his commitment and five weeks of treatment at CHOC's Multidisciplinary Feeding Program, Pacer learned to eat, and now he can down more chicken fingers than this always hungry bear!
Meet Pacer in this video, and hear from his parents, Quinn and Mekell, about why they traveled all the way from Montana to Orange County to get Pacer the treatment he needed to ensure a bright future.

"O yes...and your manager said that there was a change in the times today"added his haristylist. "Cadvan in the shower hs been moved to 8 o'clock and your interview with Womans Weekly is at 9:00....and don't forget Cadvan in Bed is at 11:00 now! "
Cadvan sighed. "When will I ever get any peace and quiet ?....so who's the mystery guest today?"
"How would I know they nver tell me anything!"snapped Emanuel slightly annoyed and started unpacking bottles of Herbal Esscences from his bag.

Suddenly the Radio started up with an ad after hours of mindless babble from Radio show hosts.
*psftchhhh* we interupt this program for an important message:
"Hey there, Elidhus of Edil-Amarandh, Have you ever experienced external irritation or warts after shapeshift? We have just the thing for you: Arkan's shapeshift lubricant! Simply apply to the area in question and voila! Smooth and simple transformation, without any residue! Call now for a free trial and dvd explaining the many advantages of WinterkingTM products. That's 1-800-325-ARKAN, 1-800-235-ARKAN. Remember, Elidhu, you deserve more."
Cadvan pouted at Emanuel. "How is it that Arkan is always managing to get more air-time than me? And more women..."
"Hush now, Cadi-kins, you know that your just as hot as Arkan. And that time he was using his Elidhu magic. Remember that talk you had with our producer?" Emanuel cooed.
"I guess..." Cadvan, offered. Emanuel sighed with relief, another tantrum avoided.
March 23rd, 2006, 03:07 PM #13
"Right Caddy"Emanuel said to Cadvan as he gently massaged his employers hair with the lates Herbal Essences trpical summer fruits shampoo/conditioner combo"remember- when you toss your hair- women fall at your feet, and men feel as if they will never date again thanks to you."
March 24th, 2006, 07:47 PM #14

As demands for tutoring have skyrocketed in recent years, Valdosta State University in Georgia has signed on with AskOnline to provide online tutoring services for its students.
AskOnline is a Web-based platform that connects a university's tutors with students via a Web interface, allowing students to seek help at any time and from any location. Aside from the Web-based communications platform, AskOnline also provides scheduling, reporting, and management tools.
Valdosta State said the move came in response to increasing demands for tutoring services at its Student Success Center--about 9,000 tutoring-specific visits last year. To handle the demand without the need to hire a large number of additional tutors, the university went with the online system, which has the added advantage of providing flexible scheduling for students who may be unable to seek tutoring during daytime business hours.
Even though we have an increased demand for our services, I was not willing to compromise on the quality of tutoring our students receive. I really like the fact that with AskOnline my students will still be supported by my tutors in the AskOnline environment," said Chere Peguesse, director of the Student Success Center at Valdosta State, in a prepared statement. "The product is simple to use but has a great deal of functionality and I was impressed with AskOnline's availability and helpfulness during the evaluation process."
Valdosta State serves approximately 11,500 students in undergraduate and graduate programs and employs 585 faculty, 330 on a full-time basis.

No! Which make One Direction better. They also said The hungers is the movie of the year. So The hunger games are better and the One Direction is better.

Committee recommends American Ambulance over AMR
Saturday, March 30, 2013
SOMERSWORTH — The Public Safety Committee will bring a recommendation to continue negotiations with American Ambulance Service to city councilors for discussion at their April meeting.
"We have to look at the value of what is good for the citizens," Peppin said, adding he will let legal systems handle the suit.
"They made a very professional presentation to the committee," Hoyle said, calling them articulate and intelligent.
"The lawsuits speak for themselves," Chris Stawasz, AMR general manager for New Hampshire and Maine, said. "And we will prosecute that vigorously in court." |

Back to the Antarctic: Has Climate Change Pushed King Crabs into Warmer Waters?
University of Alabama at Birmingham PhD student CJ Brothers and UAB research associate Margaret Amsler are on their way to Antarctica, hoping to track the population status of king crabs.It is believed that the crabs are moving up the Antarctic slope towards the Antarctic shelf as the waters around the southernmost content warm due to climate change.
"The concern is that king crabs don't like cold water, so we're a little bit worried that they have the potential to move up the slope, towards the shelf," and into a new ecosystem, Brothers told AL.com. "These crabs, they're like skeleton-breaking crabs, they feed on sea stars and things like that, so they have the potential to really change the ecosystem at the bottom of the ocean. . . . We're worried that as they move towards a new spot, they're going to be eating basically everything in their path."

Penn State recruits meet with coach
Christian Hackenberg, the top-ranked pocket-passer quarterback in the ESPN 150, reiterated his commitment to Penn State on Saturday after speaking with Nittany Lions head coach Bill O'Brien -- as did several other players.
Among them was Adam Breneman, one of the higher ranked tight ends, who said the sentiment applies to several players.
Big Ten Blog
ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg and Brian Bennett write about all things Big Ten in the conference blog.
• Blog network: College Football Nation
"Yes, we are all 100 percent committed," Breneman said of himself, Hackenberg, Will Fuller (Philadelphia/Roman Catholic), offensive linemen Brendan Mahon (Randolph, N.J./Randolph) and Andrew Nelson (Hershey, Pa./Hershey), and defensive lineman Garrett Sickels (Little Silver, N.J./Red Bank Regional).
"Halfway through the day the six of us went up to coach O'Brien's office and told him we are going to stay committed," Hackenberg said, according to Pennlive.com. "We believe in coach O'Brien and his coaching staff."
The players' comments come in the wake of NCAA sanctions handed down against Penn State on Monday: 112 wins forfeited, the loss of numerous scholarships, a bowl ban during the next four years and a $60 million fine.
"Yeah, I'm 100 percent going there," Fuller said in a text to ESPN.
Hackenberg, the top-rated player headed to the Nittany Lions, No. 16 in the ESPN 150, also had positive things to say Saturday via Twitter.
"Love this 2013 class. @AdamBreneman87 @BigBabyMahon @Will_Fuller7 @DorianJ64 @GarrettSickels @ANelson59," Hackenberg wrote.
Penn State has 12 recruits in its 2013 signing class. Mahon is in the ESPN 300 and ranked No. 10 among guards. Sickels is ranked No. 33 among defensive ends, and Nelson is ranked No. 20 among tackles.
Fuller, 6-foot-1, 163 pounds, is ranked No. 130 at his position. The three-star receiver committed to Penn State on June 5. Earlier, he posted a message on Twitter about his renewed commitment.
"GREAT time at Penn State! Coach O'Brien made me remember why I committed in the 1st place. I'm 100% committed to the greatest college," Fuller wrote.
Offensive lineman Dorian Johnson (Belle Vernon, Pa./Belle Vernon), the other player mentioned in Hackenberg's tweet, is ranked No. 27 in the ESPN 150 and No. 2 among offensive tackles. His high school coach, Aaron Krepps, said Tuesday that Johnson remained committed to Penn State at the time.

Garlic bulbs
I want to try planting garlic this fall for harvest next year. Anyone have comments/advice on planting garlic in the Twin Cities area. Also, what is a good local source for purchasing bulb stock? Thanks.
check out this site on the U of MN extension page
and also the allium forum. there are quite a few MN gardeners there. i have been checking that site as i am also interested in planting garlic this fall.
The seventh annual Hutchinson Garlic Festival was held this last Saturday. It is held every August. It is a fun event and is usually a great place to buy seed garlic, food garlic, and garlic related products. Many other Minnesota made or produced non-garlic related products are available as well. I urge everyone to consider attending. See link below.
Unfortunately this year all of us growers were hit by a disease that ravaged our garlic crops that was due in part to the incredibly, ridiculously mild winter and early spring we experienced this year. I lost all 10,000 of mine, every last one of them. Many other Minnesota growers were wiped out as well. As a result there was hardly any garlic for sale at the event this year and much of it looked to be in poor condition. I found some good clean seed stock from a vendor out of Iowa and bought $100 worth of garlic to start over. Time will tell if this disease is now in the soil and will ravage every crop from now on. If my little crop next year gets infected again, that will be the end of growing garlic for me.
Other local sources of seed garlic would be farmer's markets. Lots of people sell garlic but often they do not know what variety it is. If that matters to you, then these sources might be a problem (you can always ask the vendor, maybe they know the names of the varieties they are selling).
Lots of companies out there that sell seed garlic as well, but most you have to purchase in advance of harvest. Probably not much available out there now. Also beware of the disease called "Garlic Bloat Nematode" or "GBN". It was not the problem we had this year but it could be much worse because it is already decimating crops in some areas of the United States and Canada. You want to purchase seed garlic from reputable companies that warrant their product to be tested free from GBN. Otherwise you might bring it into Minnesota and not only will it destroy your garlic but it will help to contaminate Minnesota and destroy the nascent gourmet garlic industry here - you will be contributing to a crippling, devastating problem that will destroy livelihoods and small businesses.
In central and southern Minnesota garlic should be planted the last two weeks of October, and mulched for winter. Remove or push back mulch in spring to help shoots to grow properly. Harvest in July. Cure bulbs for winter storage.
Lots more info available online and in the GW Allium Forum - I simply gave you the basics here.
Good Luck.
Here is a link that might be useful: Minnesota Garlic Festival
Oh, and choose hardneck varieties over softneck varieties. Both will grow here but hardnecks are generally planted in cold northern climates and softnecks are grown in more southerly climates. IMO hardnecks are where you get into much better flavor which makes them more desirable anyway. I used to grow some wonderfully strong flavored hardnecks and some decent softnecks as well. Now that I am starting over I am just going to grow hardnecks.
My softnecks did better with the fusarium outbreak than the hardnecks. I have a nice stock for replanting but hardly any to sell. I hope to grow enough to be a vendor at the festival in 2013 or 2014.
The bulbs that should be tossed are more purple than they should be, smaller and thicker necked and smell bad. They also shrivel badly. My basement stunk like crazy before I realized most had to be thrown out.
It will be hard for many to find garlic to plant in MN this fall. Start now! Look for healthy stock at any and all farmers markets or you will be S.O.L. And obviously plant in new ground. Some people soak cloves immediately before planting in compost or worm tea. I think I will do that.
I planted garlic last year for the first time and had a great harvest of mostly hardneck. About 70 bulbs and I was lucky I didn't get hit with anything. I'll be saving some and have also been buying garlic at markets around town as I'd like to do more this fall. Growing garlic is a great excuse to get your garden ready for spring in the fall when the soil is so much easier to work. That way come spring there is very little to do.
Anyone have an opinion about the garlic so far this year? I may be paranoid but I am noticing a few with yellow tips on the leaves. Some of mine are huge already. I don't have any scapes yet. It is hard to remember when things start to happen. It seems like I planted more than came up but I don't really know for sure.

One of the things I like most about TabTimes' first Game of the Week for 2014 is how challenging it is. In a world of easily solved games, Jet Car Stunts 2 is not easy to figure out.
The core gameplay is straightforward, if unconventional. You race a car around a track or through a stunt course, with graphics and a HUD (head-up display) that feels more appropriate to an old-school combat flight simulator than a racing game.
At various moments in the game, the HUD makes sense because you'll find yourself tilting the nose of your tablet up or back to launch it higher or lower into the sky in order to complete specific stunt challenges or to win races. (You'll also tilt it side to side to turn your rocket-powered car on some remarkably cambered turns and chicanes.)
In this regard, Jet Car Stunts 2 mirrors the original game in the series, and goes beyond mere racing and becomes a puzzle game. Part of the challenge of many of the 120 levels is figuring out how to best approach each curve and jump, and understanding when and how to accelerate and brake, both vertically and horizontally.
It is not easy. In fact, it is surprisingly difficult. But somehow, JCS 2 manages to remain compelling and compulsive, attempt after attempt. This is part of the appeal. Although the goal of each level may be apparent, successfully executing the turns and afterburner thrusts required to complete each challenge will challenge your dexterity. It's the kind of game that will keep you up at night.
While the core game is free to play, developer True Axis has created in-game purchases that feel fair. Instead of buying access past the most challenging levels, you buy additional levels, races, and—most importantly—the right to create and upload levels of your own.
The user-generated content angle is a stroke of genius because it allows the developer to essentially provide a close-to-infinite number of new levels of gameplay at relatively little cost. It also provides some built-in community around Jet Car Stunts, as level designers exchange notes and challenges with each other.
One other thing I love: You can buy complete access to all Jet Car Stunts 2 content for $4.99. This is how the best app developers create loyalty.
Other tablet games I'm playing
1. Eternity Warriors 3: A surprisingly fun action RPG, EW3 does two things very well. First, the loot drops consist of a massive amount of equipment that you can transform into gear you want. Second, the Diablo-style action is tightly orchestrated, with a nice variety of dungeons and outdoor environments.
2. Republique: I finally got around to playing this stealth-action game this week, which was funded by Kickstarter. It's great, tense fun, and somehow pulls off the rare trick of being a real gamer's game, while still being fairly accessible. Definitely worth checking out.
3. Real Racing 3: As I started putting together this week's column, I went on a bit of a racing kick. Electronic Arts' third entry in its fairly new mobile racing series surprised me. It looks great, with top-notch controls. Available for both iOS and Android.
4. Ridge Racer Slipstream: Ridge Racer has an arcade racing pedigree at arcades and on console systems. This mobile entry does the series justice.
5. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Racing (iOS, Android). Old-school racing game with one of the oldest characters in gaming across a variety of different levels and races.

What can I use instead of pots?
Whatever made me think that 3 dozen pots would be enough? I have a vague memory of someone using large ziploc bags and somebody else using oiled paper grocery bags? Any other ideas or more information about those?
It will be at least a month before I can plant outside here in Minnesota. I posted this on the Canna forum, too, because I've got way "too many" of both. Thanks!
plastic gallon milk/water/juice jugs. Just be sure to poke lots and lots of drainage holes in the bottom. Did I mention good drainage?? My neighbor with 3 teenage children saved a bunch for me. Some of us are using ''dirt bags'' to get our tubers to eye-up & sprouting.
I use styrofoam coffee cups which are 4" across at the top and about 5" deep. They are cheap, and can write the name of the tuber on the cup. Just punch 3- 4 holes in the bottom for drainage. If the tuber is too tall for the cup just let it hang out the top. Some of my plants get 2' or more tall in the cups before I get them planted. They work great for me.
Dahlias are blooming and it's making me think of ones I want next year - sound familiar? Right now I am using landscape plants -- Park Princess, Mystery Day and another one I don't like that opens bright pink and fades to pale pink the same day. I have planted about a dozen of each, and am harvesting a lot of flowers.
Does anybody know what the black Dutch bulb crates are? If you don't, just imagine a big plastic bin, about 20" x 28" x 8" deep with lots of drainage holes. Could I put a dozen dahlias in there with nothing to separate them? Or would they all be tangled together and impossible to remove? I could keep the tubers 1" away from each other.
I have successfully used 4inch black plastic drainpipe cut to 5 inch lengths, and put in vertically, to keep caladiums separate, but it's sort of a pain in the butt, and I don't think 4" diameter is enough for dahlias. (I don't cut my tubers the way you guys must do it, if you really use margerine tubs!)
20x28x8 inches would be good for one tuber, two maximum of a plant the size of Mystery Day and you'd be pushing the depth needed for a healthy root system, I think, at that depth. Not an ideal home for a dozen dahlias. Plus would all the drainage holes would be likely to leak out soil as you watered, or not? I don't know the lily crate.
You sure are devoted to your caladium bulbs to go to all that trouble with the pipe cutting. People probably think an avid dahlia grower is absolutely stark raving mad as well given all the lengths gone to preserve and grow them.
Another idea is whiskey barrels. I have one dahlia in each of three for the first time this year. They are doing as well as in the garden.
Ooops, I didn't explain myself very well -- I want to start the tubers early to plant out when the soil warms to get a jump on the season.
I wondered what the easiest way is -- and the cheapest, too -- I don't want to use $30.00 worth of Potting soil! I am worried about the roots getting tangled up if I put them all on one container (just for 4 weeks until I get them in the garden.)
The pipe sections are just that plastic tube stuff. dh puts it on the band saw and cuts a bunch all at once. If you put them vertically in a newspaper-lined cardboard box shoulder-to-shoulder, fill with a couple inches of potting soil, you can put glads, caladiums and small dahlias in them in April for setting out in May. The sections I have now are 4" long (high)
Do you know what dahlia classification 'Mystery Day' is? I wanted to tag it since I like the flower so well. I have it in too much sun right now (the leaves are bleaching out) but next year I can move it elsewhere.
I got off tangent a little -- I am wondering what some easy and cheap ways are to start lots and lots of tubers to get a jump on he season. LOL! Maybe 50 total, so maybe not lots and lots to you folks! Can yo uput them all in a big box, or would they get tangled up and become too difficult to remove for garden planting?
You can start them in a box or carton if you want. They'll not get all tangled up in the short time they are eyeing up & sending out some feeder roots, We save the 1/2 gal milk cartons, staple the top shut, lay it on it's side & cut the side out of it, leaving enough of a flap to write the name on. Put in some potting soil or whatever medium you are using, cover most of the tuber leaving the neck out. We start 2-4 of them in there & they do well. If you want a cheap medium for starting you can use vermiculite or sterile sand. In late June I found a flat under the potting bench that had 2 dahlias in vermiculite & the plants were green, healthy & 8" high- hadn't been watered at all nor had they received any care since being shoved under there & forgotten about. They got put out in the garden & are just as beautiful as the rest of the 10,000!

Zenoss and the Art of Network Monitoring
Now, let's set up our Linux systems so they can talk to the Zenoss server. After installing and configuring the operating systems on our other Linux servers, install the Net-SNMP package on each using the following command on the Ubuntu server:
sudo apt-get install snmpd
And, on the Fedora server use:
yum install net-snmp
Once the Net-SNMP packages are installed, edit out any other lines in the Access Control sections at the beginning of the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and add the following lines:
## sec.name source community com2sec local localhost whatsourclearanceclarence com2sec mynetwork 192.168.142.0/24 whatsourclearanceclarence ## group.name sec.model sec.name group MyROGroup v1 local group MyROGroup v1 mynetwork group MyROGroup v2c local group MyROGroup v2c mynetwork ## incl/excl subtree mask view all included .1 80 ## context sec.model sec.level prefix read write notif access MyROGroup "" any noauth exact all none none
Do not edit out any lines beneath the last Access Control Sections. Please note that the above is only a mildly restrictive configuration. Consult the snmpd.conf file or the Net-SNMP documentation if you want to tighten access. On the Ubuntu server, you also may have to change the following line in the /etc/snmp/default file to allow SNMP to bind to anything other than the local loopback address:
SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid'
On the Windows server, access the Add/Remove Programs utility from the Control Panel. Click on the Add/Remove Windows Components button on the left. Scroll down the list of Components, check off Management and Monitoring Tools, and click on the Details button. Check Simple Network Management Protocol in the list, and click OK to install. Close the Add/Remove window, and go into the Services console from Administrative Tools in the Control Panel. Find the SNMP service in the list, right-click on it, and click on Properties to bring up the service properties tabs. Click on the Traps tab, and type in the community name. In the list of Trap Destinations, add the IP address of the Zenoss server. Now, click on the Security tab, and check off the Send authentication trap box, enter the community name, and give it READ-ONLY rights. Click OK, and restart the service.
Return to the Zenoss management Web page. Click the Devices link to go into the subclass of /Devices/Servers/Windows, and on the zProperties tab, enter the name of a domain admin account and password in the zWinUser and zWinPassword fields. This account gives Zenoss access to the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) on your Windows systems. Make sure to click Save at the bottom of the page before navigating away.
Now that our systems have SNMP, we can add them into Zenoss. Devices can be added individually or by scanning the network. Let's do both. To add our Ubuntu server into Zenoss, click on the Add Device link under the Management navigation section. Enter the IP address of the server and the community name. Under Device Class Path, set the selection to /Server/Linux. You could add a variety of other hardware, software and Zenoss information on this page before adding a system, but at a minimum, an IP address name and community name is required (Figure 1). Click the Add Device button, and the discovery process runs. When the results are displayed, click on the link to the new device to access it.
To scan the network for devices, click the Networks link under Browse By section of the navigation menu. If your network is not in the list, add it using CIDR notation. Once added, check the box next to your network and use the drop-down arrow to click on the Select Discover Devices option. You will see a similar results page as the one from before. When complete, click on the links at the bottom of the results page to access the new devices. Any device found will be placed in the /Discovered class. Because we should have discovered the Fedora server and the Windows server, they should be moved to the /Devices/Servers/Linux and /Devices/Servers/Windows classes, respectively. This can be done from each server's Status tab by using the main drop-down list and selecting Manage→Change Class.
If all has gone well, so far we have a functional SNMP monitoring system that is able to monitor heartbeat/availability (Figure 2) and performance information (Figure 3) on our systems. You can customize other various Status and Performance Monitors to meet your needs, but here we will use the default localhost monitors.
snmp on windows
on windows systems you could install snmp informant http://www.snmp-informant.com/ so you will get more informations
Excellent article for the
Excellent article for the beginner, but this is just starting. The more you work , more you will learn the new features of highly customizable great software zenoss core.
Modification required
Hi, I'm Ty Hahn and one of the biggest fan of LJ.
I really enjoyed this article. While reading, I found a tiny mistake and that's why I'm here.
On page 73, the SNMP configuration file for Ubuntu to change must be '/etc/default/snmpd' instead of '/etc/snmp/default'.
I hope this helps to save somebody's precious time.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

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

This must be the best dance review ever!

Great review! It's not so much the dance as what is being danced to. I call such accompaniments 'nonic' - short for non-music! If it were at all pleasant one could close one's eyes and slumber gently, but nonic prevents that.

June 22, 2012
I've ordered now several times from you and I can't thank you enough for your certified gluten-free nuts and dried fruit. I've had celiac disease for 2 years and during that entire time I hadn't had any nuts or dried fruit because most of the varieties you find in the store have a serious gluten cross-contamination risk. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Not only are your products safe for me to eat, but they are delicious! I have since treated myself to the Organic Milk Chocolate Covered Raisins and the Raw Cacao Almonds & Raisins, and they are mind-blowingly tasty. I also buy my quinoa from you in bulk now, the only quinoa I've found so far that is certified gluten-free. It's scrumptious too! Thank you again for helping this celiac enjoy a a more diverse assortment of incredible food!S.R., Baltimore, MD

Tompkins County Health Department | |
Dr. Macmillan called the regular meeting of the Board of Health to order at 12:10 P.M. Privilege of the Floor:Mr. Ernest Bury spoke under Privilege of the Floor requesting permission to build an affordable housing duplex on a quarter-acre lot on Shelter Valley Road in the Town of Newfield. He displayed an Engineering Report from Hunt Engineering with an on-site wastewater treatment and disposal system for the quarter acre property which he felt made him eligible for a waiver. Mrs. Cameron stated her Division did approve plans from Mr. Bury for a half-acre lot; however they had comments on the plans they received from Mr. Bury for the quarter-acre which were returned to Mr. Bury. She added her Division has not received anything additional from Mr. Bury. She also added that she spoke with the Planning Department. The Planning Department supports high density affordable housing where there is supporting infrastructure for water and sewer on the property. Mr. Bury commented that the property is on community water supply and he would always have the 100' radius included in any lot he would consider. Mrs. Cameron stated Mr. Bury needed to submit a revised report from Hunt Engineering that addresses our comments so that her Division could review it. She added that her Division did not officially turn down Mr. Bury's application; however with the information previously submitted by Mr. Bury, they did state they did not intend to approve his application for a unit on a quarter acre lot. To date, they have not received any response from Mr. Bury or his Engineer. Mr. Bury requested a copy of the response the Environmental Health Division sent to him. Public Health Director Search Committee:Mr. Wood read the section from the Charter pertaining to the role the Board of Health takes in the selection of a Public Health Director. Basically, the Public Health Director is appointed by the County Administrator, upon recommendation of the Board of Health, subject to confirmation by the Tompkins County Legislature, the Board of Health, and the NYS Commissioner of Health. Mr. Wood then introduced Joe Mareane, County Administrator, and Anita Fitzpatrick, Director of Personnel, who were at today's meeting to propose how the hiring process will take place, as well as looking for input from Board members on the composition of the Search Committee and the general course of the process. Mr. Mareane recognized the skills and attributes possessed by Mrs. Cole and stated through the search process they hope to find someone who possesses the multiple dimensions they are seeking in Mrs. Cole's successor. He added to do that it was important they have the right balance of individuals to make up the Search Committee. After collaborating with Mrs. Cole, Ms. Fitzpatrick, the leadership of the Legislature, as well as his own staff over the past few weeks, Mr. Mareane developed a proposal for the composition of the Search Committee. Mr. Mareane circulated and reviewed a memo regarding the makeup of a Search Committee for the new Public Health Director and requested input from Board members. Mr. Mareane also circulated copies of an advertisement for the position including the job description for Public Health Director, as well as a recruitment plan which listed the publications which will be used to advertise the position. Following a short discussion among Board members and staff regarding the composition of the Search Committee, it was determined that Board members would like some additional time to discuss the issue. Mr. Mareane asked them to communicate their suggestions to him within a week. Ms. Fitzpatrick also requested Board members review the documents that were distributed and let her know of any recommended language changes within the next two weeks. Approval of Minutes:Dr. Tyler moved to approve the minutes of the December 08, 2009 Board of Health meeting as written, seconded by Mr. Greenhouse; carried unanimously. Financial Summary:Mrs. Grinnell Crosby stated there was no financial summary for this month. She added they were in the midst of closing their 2009 books and preparing for 2010. Mrs. Grinnell Crosby stated the County still has not been paid for the 2nd and 3rd quarters for 2009, amounting to nearly $800,000.00 in Article VI funding. She also stated there are a number of grants from the State of New York with payments outstanding. Administration Report:Mrs. Cole
Medical Director's Report:Dr. Klepack stated he didn't have anything to add to his written report. He did comment briefly where he had read that Governor Patterson might propose raising tobacco taxes. He stated he felt the cost of purchasing tobacco does have a significant impact on usage. Division for Community Health:Mrs. Connors:
Children with Special Care Needs:Mrs. Allinger reported that currently IPRO, which is the evaluating agency for the Department of Health and Early Intervention, are auditing contract service providers and agencies. Mrs. Allinger stated she meets with each provider individually to review all of their policies, procedures, and processes prior to the audit, which she herself also attends. She added all of the last four providers that were audited had perfect reviews. She felt this was due to the level of work and planning that is collaboratively done. Mrs. Allinger stated they are struggling to find additional Speech Therapists. They have been at capacity for service provision for nearly two months and now they are nearing capacity in Occupational and Physical Therapists. Mrs. Allinger stated it is a struggle to meet the regulatory requirements of having enough therapists to go around. County Attorney's Report:Mr. Wood stated he had nothing to report. Environmental Health Report:Mrs. Cameron:
Election of Officers for 2010:Mr. Greenhouse nominated the following Slate of Officers for 2010: Dr. Macmillan for President and Dr. Tyler for Vice President. Mr. Greenhouse moved to accept the Slate of Officers as presented, seconded by Mr. McLaughlin. Carried. Report from Nominating Committee on two vacancies:Mr. Greenhouse reported he and Mr. McLaughlin have narrowed their list to a few candidates with only one applicant for the Physician seat. Dr. Macmillan stated he had an interested physician who would be submitting an application as soon as they return from vacation. With this in mind, Mr. Greenhouse suggested they proceed with the interview process for the consumer position. Following a short discussion regarding the best plan of action, it was decided to move forward with interviewing physician applicants. Following the interviews, the committee will make their recommendations to the Board and, if needed, the deadline for accepting applications for a physician will be extended. Approval of revisions of Board of Health Bylaws:Dr. Tyler moved to accept the Board of Health Bylaws as revised, seconded by Mr. Proto, carried unanimously. The suggestion was made that on page 6, Section 11.02, (a) be changed to read as follows: "The Board shall appoint a group of professional personnel known as the Professional Advisory Committee, …… This friendly amendment was agreeable to both Dr. Tyler and Mr. Proto. Mrs. Crosby will include a final revised copy of the Board of Health Bylaws in the February Board of Health packet. Approval to reappoint William Klepack, MD, to a two-year position as Tompkins County Health Department Medical Director:After reviewing the credentialing document from Cayuga Medical Center, Mr. Greenhouse moved to reappoint Dr. William Klepack, MD, to a two-year position as Tompkins County Health Department Medical Director, seconded by Ms. Morgan, and carried by a unanimous voice vote. Approval for revisions to the Professional Advisory Committee Bylaws:Dr. Tyler moved to accept the revisions to the Professional Advisory Committee Bylaws as submitted, seconded by Mr. Proto. Following a lively discussion regarding membership for the Professional Advisory Committee, it was agreed that Mrs. Connors would make the recommended edits and include a final revised copy of the Professional Advisory Committee Bylaws in the February Board of Health packet. Carried unanimously. Approval for revisions to the Accident and Incident Report Policy & Procedure:Mr. Greenhouse moved to accept the revisions as written, seconded by Ms. Morgan. Ms. Morgan made the recommendation that where the word "should" is used within the document, it be replaced with the word "will." Dr. Macmillan recommended that on pg. 11, #2 – be changed to read as follows: "Report time frame is measured by the Date of Awareness." The revised Accident and Incident Report Policy & Procedure was unanimously accepted as amended. Approval for revisions to the Client Complaint Policy & Procedure:Mr. Greenhouse moved to accept the revisions as written, seconded by Ms. Morgan. Ms. Morgan made the recommendation that on page 2, III-E, the word "should" in the sentence be changed to "will." Also, page 2, III-F, the word "is" in the sentence is changed to "are." The revised Client Complaint Policy & Procedure was unanimously accepted as amended. Mr. Kenneth P. Fiero, Fraternal Order of Eagles #1253, C-Ithaca – Request to renew Clean Indoor Air Act Waiver:Mr. Proto moved to accept the resolution as written, seconded by Dr. Tyler. Carried with 4 votes for (Greenhouse, Macmillan, McLaughlin, and Proto) and 1 vote against (Morgan). Board of Health Representatives for the Public Health Director Search Committee:Dr. Macmillan expressed an interest, with the approval of the Board, in representing the Board on the Search Committee. Ms. Morgan also offered to represent the Board on the Search Committee. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the composition of the Search Committee and it was determined that Board members would take this month to consider the issue and then make a final decision at the February meeting and pass this information on to Mr. Mareane. In the meantime, it was determined that if anyone had any comments regarding the Public Health Director job description, they would pass them on to Anita Fitzpatrick, Commissioner of Personnel. Staff also expressed an interest in seeing Division Managers included in the Search Committee. Dr. Macmillan will communicate with Anita Fitzpatrick the sense of the Board regarding the need for additional staff representation to serve on the Search Committee. Adjournment:Mr. Proto moved to adjourn the meeting at 2:20 P.M.; carried unanimously. The 55 Brown Road facility still isn't ready for occupancy, so Board members should plan on coming to the current location for the February BOH meeting. |

Britney Spears & Matt Leinart an item?
Britney Spears was seen in Scottsdale, AZ smoozing with Arizona Cardinals QB Matt Leinart over the weekend holiday weekend. The two were spotted at a club on Scottsdale road .
Reports vary as far as what happened at the club… everything from Britney was just saying "hi", to Britney and Matt "grinding" on the dance floor. I think it's safe to say that she was just saying hi, especially considering that one of her friends is pals w/ Leinart's baby's mama (Brynn Cameron).
Of course Britney has almost been single for 2 months now, having left K-Fed in early November.
Matt Leinart was previously dating Paris Hilton after he left USC.
In related news… Britney reportedly fell asleep only minutes after the New Year. Spears hosted a party at Ceasars Palace's "Pure" night club, but passed out only minutes after the big moment. Her reps say that she was just tired – that she didn't drink too much, take any drugs or anything like that.
