In Canopy 1.4 and above, you can make Canopy be the default Python for the duration of a single terminal session:
Windows: Open a "Canopy Command Prompt" window from the Canopy Tools menu. Please see Note #3 below.
Mac/Linux: Open a "Canopy Terminal" window from the Canopy Tools menu.
For more persistent settings, read on.
At the end of Canopy's initial setup, there is an option, which is selected by default, to make Canopy's Python be your default Python at the terminal / shell / command prompt. (This option will not apply to any terminal sessions that are already open, but rather to terminal windows opened subsequently.)
You might reasonably decide not to accept this default, for example if you are currently using another Python distribution (such as EPD) for production work, or do not want .py files to be associated with Canopy's editor at this time. This will usually not affect operation inside the Canopy GUI application.
However not making Canopy your default Python does complicate your ability to use Canopy Python from a command prompt, including installing external packages, because it may not be immediately obvious where Canopy's User Python is actually located if you want to refer to it explicitly. Canopy uses virtual environments as described here, so that there are actually three Canopy Pythons. You should only use the Canopy User Python! Running the wrong Python (or IPython) will lead to confusing misbehavior.
Start python or ipython from a terminal session, do import sys; sys.prefix
, and check that the output value ends in "Enthought/Canopy[something]/User" (specifically, it should match most of the path shown in the platform-specific table below. It should also match the value of sys.prefix that is shown when you type the same command in the Canopy GUI's Python panel.
Open the Canopy Preferences dialog (on the General tab) and click on "Set [Canopy] as default".
To make Canopy be your default Python in all subsequent Terminal/Command sessions, you can manually prepend your PATH with the following platform-specific directory:
Platform |
Word length |
Location |
Windows XP | 64 | C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Enthought\Canopy\User\Scripts |
Windows XP | 32 | C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Enthought\Canopy32\User\Scripts |
Windows 7 & Vista | 64 | C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy\User\Scripts |
Windows 7 & Vista | 32 | C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy32\User\Scripts |
Mac OSX | 64 | ~/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin |
Mac OSX | 32 | ~/Library/Enthought/Canopy_32bit/User/bin |
Linux | 64 | ~/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin |
Linux | 32 | ~/Enthought/Canopy_32bit/User/bin |
To do this:
Edit your ~/.bash_profile file, and uncomment (remove the initial "# " from) the line that looks like one of the following (depending on how early you installed Canopy; more details here):
# source [...] /activate
# VIRTUAL_ENV_DISABLE_PROMPT=1 source [...] activate
(On some systems, this line will be in the ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc file. Wherever you find it, you can usually just uncomment it when you want Canopy to be your default Python. Note that if you have both .bash_profile and .profile on OSX, then only .bash_profile will be used, unless another config file explicitly invokes .profile .)
Editing the Windows PATH through the Control Panel (System / Advanced / Environment / User) is awkward and error-prone. We recommend using a utility such as the free Rapid Environment Editor, to back up your existing PATH settings, modify them, and/or switch between different PATH settings.
One possible source of confusion in Windows: if Canopy was installed for current user, and you already have a Python (e.g. EPD 7.3) which was installed for all users, then even if you specified that Canopy should be your default Python, the "all user" python default will take precedence. The way to override this is to modify the System PATH environment variable to begin with the Canopy Python directory, or to remove Python altogether from this environment variable. (Again, Rapid Environment Editor makes this much easier to do.) You will need admin permission to do this.
To remove Canopy from your PATH, simply reverse the (OS-specific) manual process described above.
Manually changing file associations (.py in this case) is more difficult. The usual process, which applies to most applications including Canopy, is that when you install another application which you wish to assume control of a particular file association, it will do so for you. Metaphorically speaking, you change color by re-painting rather than by attempting to scrape off the previous layer.
Anyway it's not completely clear.
From user point of view, Yes or No, setting/unsetting CanoPython as default python, is EQUIVALENT to uncomment/comment this line in the .profile user ?
# VIRTUAL_ENV_DISABLE_PROMPT=1 source [...] activate
Hi. I very stupidly and very rashly deleted the lines above from by bash_profile. I have tried re-installing Canopy to replace the text, but this hasn't worked.
I set up the environment in the default location, but did not make Canopy my default Python. Are you able to provide the text of the lines that Canopy adss to bash_profile so I can re-instate them?
@Marc, see the end of the "Environment setup" section of the Users Guide for your OS:
Is there an "activate" script for c-shell users (especially in the recently released version 1.2)? I use tcsh as my shell for a number of reasons, so the bash-only activate script doesn't do me any good. I know that using c-shell makes me a horrible person, but I can't switch to bash and would really like to use canopy-installed python at the command line for my work. If there's no c-shell version of activate, could you please outline a useful workaround? Many thanks for your help!
@Deatrick, you don't need activate at all; just write an alias that prefixes `<home-dir>/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin` to your PATH.
I am unable to set Canopy as default right after installing. My system is 64-bit Mac OS X. I tried uninstall and remove all associate files then reinstall. I clicked on "Start using Canopy", but it was unable to start the application.
The first time I use it and set the Canopy to be my default Python. But now I want to cancel the option, how to do?
When I start python, I get the following:
Enthought Canopy Python 2.7.6 | 64-bit | (default, Jan 29 2014, 17:35:36)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52)] on linux2
Does this mean it is running GCC version 4.1.2?
I am working with CUDA and that throws an error that gcc 4.6 and up are not supported. Is there any workaround for making GCC 4.1.2 system-wide?
I am on a cluster and do not have root access!
Thanks :)
Update: simplified the article, reflecting that Canopy 1.4 provides a "Canopy Command Prompt" or "Canopy Terminal" command in the Tools menu.
Under Win7 (64-bit) I forgot that I had Python 2.5 already on my computer when I installed Canopy 1.4.1975. I got the dreaded "Canopy is not your default Python environment" and the pushbutton 'Set as default' was disabled.
An "import sys; sys.prefix" in python started from a terminal showed "C:\\Python25" and in Canopy showed 'C:\\Users\\ACG\\AppData\\Local\\Enthought\\Canopy\\User'.
I read the above, but did not want to delete the previous install or work with the registry.
My Quick fix without deleting anything or messing with the registry was to rename the 'Python25' directory to 'Python25xx'.
Then 'import sys; sys.prefix' showed 'C:\\Users\\ACG\\AppData\\Local\\Enthought\\Canopy\\User' in both the terminal launch python and Canopy .
The 'Edit | Preference' tab dialog box in Canopy showed 'Canopy is your default Python environment' with the pushbutton labeled 'Unset as default' was enabled.
Hope that helps someone.

Bobcats 91
(3-7, 0-5 away)
Magic 97
(8-3, 5-1 home)
Coverage: FSFL
7:00 PM ET, November 16, 2009
Amway Arena, Orlando, FL
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Rashard Lewis watched several Orlando Magic games on TV this season. When it was finally his turn to play, it took him a while to stop being an observer.
After a slow start, Lewis finished with 10 points in his first game back from a suspension, helping Orlando beat the Charlotte Bobcats 97-91 on Monday night.
Fast Facts
• The Magic have won six straight and nine of their last 10 vs. the Bobcats.
• The Magic improved to 15-3 in their last 18 home games dating back to last season (5-1 this season).
• The Bobcats have lost 11 straight road games dating back to last season (0-5 this season).
• The Bobcats fell to 1-10 all-time at Orlando.
-- ESPN Stats & Information
Lewis looked rusty after serving a 10-game ban handed out by the NBA for testing positive for an elevated testosterone level. The All-Star forward finally found his footing late, sparking a rally that moved the Magic in front for good.
"I think it was just about catching up to the rhythm of the game," Lewis said. "Just taking my time and not rushing shots. Early in the game I feel like I was kind of rushing the 3-point ball, so I was shooting it flat."
Flip Murray tied a career high with 31 points, and Stephen Jackson had 13 points and nine rebounds for Charlotte hours after the disgruntled swingman was acquired from Golden State. Even with the new addition, the Bobcats couldn't avoid their fifth straight loss.
"We just have to play together a little bit more and figure out how we all play and where we want the ball," Jackson said. "We have a good chance of getting into that playoff run. We just can't dig ourselves too big of a hole right now."
Charlotte never could capitalize on its chances.
Even after shooting nearly 60 percent in the first half, the Bobcats were only ahead 52-50. And things could have been worse.
Mickael Pietrus missed an alley-oop dunk off an inbounds pass with 0.2 seconds remaining in the half that would have tied it. He skied high but slammed it down too hard, causing the ball to bounce off. Officials called a foul but reviewed the play and decided the contact came after the buzzer.
Hampered by injuries, suspensions and illnesses, the Magic have flip-flopped lineups so many times this season that their power forwards -- Lewis, Ryan Anderson and Brandon Bass -- didn't even play in the previous game. With backup center Marcin Gortat out with the flu, those three were on the floor when Orlando pulled away.
"That's sort of how crazy it has been," coach Stan Van Gundy said. "We made our run with three guys who weren't even in uniform the other night.
"What I think we'll do now is just highlight different positions every night," he joked. "So tonight it was our power forwards. And then maybe we'll like play three of our point guards together. We've already done the thing the other night where we played all of our wing guys together. And then one night we'll feature our centers.
"Rather than balancing your team, we like to play them in groups."
It took Orlando's missing All-Star some time to regain his form.
Lewis picked up his first basket of the game with 2:25 remaining in the third quarter, a short jumper that started a big Magic push. He added a pair of layups that helped Orlando build a 76-68 lead.
But he wasn't done yet.
After a dunk by Anderson to start the fourth, Lewis hit a 14-foot jumper to give the Magic a 12-point cushion. Charlotte rallied but Vince Carter hit a 3-pointer with 53.1 seconds left to give Orlando a 93-87 lead.
"It was just exciting to get this first game under my belt," Lewis said. "I knew I would be rusty. It's just about going out there and getting through my mistakes."
The Bobcats might need more than Jackson to get out of the Southeast Division cellar.
Charlotte began Monday as the league's lowest-scoring team at 82.4 points per game and is hoping Jackson can spark its slumping offense.
The Bobcats traded shooting guard Raja Bell and forward Vladimir Radmanovic to the Warriors for Jackson and guard Acie Law. Jackson hopped a plane from Milwaukee and arrived in Orlando about two hours before tipoff.
"I love him and he gives us flexibility," coach Larry Brown said. "We gave ourselves a chance to win without really having much organization. Now we just need to keep playing hard and together."
Game notes
Carter and Brown, both North Carolina alumni, enjoyed a long hug before tipoff. Carter pointed out his family sitting in the stands to Brown, who waived and smiled back ... The Magic teamed up with the Harris Corp. to donate tickets to military members and their families. It was the fourth year the Magic have held "Seats For Soldiers Night." They even surprised a few family members in the stands by broadcasting telephone calls from loved ones overseas live in the arena, leading to a few tearful conversations.

Automakers make routine price adjustments to respond to market forces or account for increased production costs. In an interesting move, Nissan lowered the prices substantially on seven models to help them appear in search results when shoppers are researching cars online by price.
At first blush, it would appear Nissan is stacking the deck, getting cars into search results that may not appear at dealerships. We have seen it happen before, but that is not the case here. Instead, the company is doing what could be called a price alignment, shifting the official retail price to be much closer to what consumers are actually paying. By then promoting this revised price, it does appear on paper, or on screen in this case, that Nissan has gained some advantages.
Visit our new car buying guide for quick access to the latest advice, Ratings, road tests, and videos.
To better understand how Nissan now measures up, our Auto Price Services team analyzed prices before and after this change, and then compared the seven Nissan models against likely competitors, factoring their retail and transaction prices.
Because the Nissan discounts vary from low to high trims, we focused on the larger discount on high trims for consistency.
When comparing the original and new, lower prices for these Nissans, it is plain that the revised figures would change how the models rank by price when researching.
We anticipate the transaction price will prove similar to what people paid prior to this move. After all, this change was balanced by Nissan reducing incentives on the car. In the end, it might all be a wash.
Looking through the chart, some models seem to be much closer to sales reality. For instance, the Juke is shown to be just $267 above its transaction price. However, despite the hefty $4,400 adjustment to the Armada, transaction prices are still $2,690 less than the new price.
As with advertised promotions, always assume there is more room for negotiations.
Another way to look at this: Each new car has some negotiation space built in, between what the dealership paid and what the window sticker lists. In a hypothetical example, if there is a $2,000 difference between those extremes and the automaker makes a $1,500 adjustment, the automaker is conceding three-quarters of the negotiation space to the customer. Now there is only a potential $500 in play. Whether you get another $500 off, remains to be seen. But at least everyone gets the $1,500 off.
The price changes are now in effect and will be reflected on window stickers as an equipment adjustment.

When analyzing deals, we always look at not only how good the pricing is, but how good the cars performed in our tests. After all, a great deal on bad car isn't appealing.
Of the seven Nissans, only two of them don't meet our requirements to earn a Consumer Reports' Recommendation, the Armada and Sentra.
The big, clumsy Armada has dismal fuel economy, sloppy handling, tight third-row seat, and substandard interior finish. Needless to say, its overall test score trails several competitors. But the real limitation is that its predicted reliability is much worse than average. So, even with a great deal, do we think you should buy this truck? No.
And then there's the Sentra. Between the nonstop engine drone, uninspired handling, and pogo-stick ride, the Sentra's overall score of 64 puts it too low to recommend. Again, not worth buying at just about any price when there are ample better choices.
But, the other five Nissan measure up well. Check out pricing chart above for more details on the numbers, then click through on the model names to visit the model pages for complete road tests, reliability data, owner cost information, and detailed pricing.
Online subscribers are eligible for hassle-free shopping and low prices through the Consumer Reports Build & Buy program. Unlike traditional car buying, there is no pressure or obligation to purchase. Participating dealers are held to high standards of competitive pricing and customer service. Simply click the "Build & Buy This Car" button that appears on the vehicle's model overview page to access the program.

good luck with it mate
stick to it .. dont let the slipups get u down and u will be on yr way
Hi all... I am new to the site and the book. I must say I haven't been able to put it down. Just started eating more primal over the weekend and already starting to feel better. I thought I would miss the bread and grains, but so far I have not even noticed.
Right now I am at 310 hoping to get that way down as time progresses..
good luck with it mate
stick to it .. dont let the slipups get u down and u will be on yr way
Welcome onboard, congratulations on starting the rest of your life
Thanks. I will try not to get to discouraged. Alhtough today I found the effects of a slip. I went to lunch with my coworkers to a Cuban joint. Tried the Cuban sandwich and now I can't get rid of that gassy bloated feeling. I am starting to realize that I lived most of life with that feeling. It is no good
Hold onto the idea of that feeling. It's a pretty small thing, but it's a good indicator of what is good, and what is bad. The book is great, I loved reading it. Everything you've learned in the book will be enhanced by the discussions on this forum. Anything you want to know more about has already been discussed, all the way from macronutrient intake to hyperthyroidism. Search the forums, or better yet, search Marks' blog and you will find in depth answers. There are more actual experts lurking in the forums here than I've seen anywhere else. and you will always find at least one other person in a similar situation as yourself.
I would say good luck, but you really don't need it. If you stick to PB, you will see results.
Welcome. Good luck!

Zipcar Expands Car Sharing To City Of Tacoma, WA
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Zipcar, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZIP), the world's leading car sharing network, today announced the company's expansion into the city of Tacoma, WA. The Zipcar program will provide Tacoma residents, visitors and businesses with increased access to affordable, convenient transportation options that reduce congestion and emissions.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111118/MM09809LOGO )
The Zipcar program will offer 10 vehicles, including Honda Insight Hybrid, Mazda 3, Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus models, six of which are to be located in downtown Tacoma. The vehicles downtown will be located in on-street parking spots and will be easily accessible by public transit. Locations include the intersection of South 11th Street and Pacific Avenue, the intersection of South 4th Street and St. Helens Avenue and near Tollefson Plaza.
"We're thrilled to begin offering Zipcar vehicles in Tacoma to provide more convenient and flexible access to our service for both new and existing members in this market," said Carla Archambault, general manager, Zipcar Seattle. "As with all of our members, our Tacoma Zipsters have access to our entire fleet of over 11,000 Zipcar vehicles located throughout the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom, delivering on our brand promise of 'wheels when you want them' whether they're home or visiting one of our other Zipcar markets."
The Zipcar program in Tacoma is available to local residents and visitors, as well as to employees of local businesses through the company's "Zipcar for Business" program that offers discounted driving Monday through Friday. Zipcar for Business helps businesses save money, meet environmental sustainability goals and reduce parking requirements by providing their employees with access to Zipcars for business needs and other uses. " Tacoma is thrilled to welcome Zipcar to our community," said Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland. "We are a city that is committed to practical sustainability initiatives. Zipcar is a great addition to our urban core as we strive to improve it with flexible and affordable transportation options." As an environmentally friendly transportation option, Zipcar will help to reduce Tacoma's carbon footprint. National studies have shown that each car shared takes 15 privately owned vehicles off the road, and that average vehicle miles traveled per driver is reduced by 40 percent when car owners switch to car sharing. Pat McCarthy, the County Executive for Pierce County, said, "We know that Zipcar has been a popular option for students, faculty and staff at the University of Washington at Tacoma and at Pacific Lutheran University, and we're pleased to be expanding the availability of car sharing to Tacoma residents and businesses. We believe this sustainable and cost-effective transportation option will complement efforts to make Pierce County an even more environmentally and economically responsible place to live." Gas, reserved parking spots, insurance, roadside assistance and up to 180 miles per day are included in the hourly and daily Zipcar rates. Members of the community who are interested in learning more about Zipcar are invited to check out the new cars in Tollefson Plaza from 8:00am until 2:00pm on Friday, Sept. 28. Zipcar representatives will be available to provide more information about Zipcar, give technology demonstrations and provide special offers for new members looking to join. For more information, including how to become a Zipcar member in Tacoma, please visit www.zipcar.com.

Meet the women entrepreneurs who completed Australia's first Springboard boot camp
PUBLISHED: 13 Feb 2013 12:04:30 | UPDATED: 10 Apr 2013 07:32:23PUBLISHED: 13 Feb 2013 PRINT EDITION: 21 Feb 2013Georgia Beattie of Single Serve Packaging is one of the inaugural Springboard Australia participants. Arsineh Houspian

Renowned entrepreneurs share one thing in common: they always add a zero. What else do they have in common? How do they overcome huge setbacks? Where do they get their nerve? "Add a Zero" seeks to uncover the hidden traits, motivations, tricks and tips that turns small business owners into entrepreneurs and millionaires into billionaires. Kay Koplovitz knows how to add a zero. As the founder of USA Network she eventually sold the business for $US4.6 billion. Koplovitz, is also founder and chairman of Springboard Enterprises, a leading business accelerator for high-growth, women-led businesses.
Caitlin Fitzsimmons
The Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, has announced the names of the eight businesswomen selected for the inaugural Australian Springboard program for female entrepreneurs.
Moore hosted an event in Sydney on Tuesday evening to honour Springboard and reveal the identity of the entrepreneurs involved.
As reported in BRW on Monday, the entrepreneurs come from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and their start-ups have a strong technological flavour.
The final eight were selected from 56 formal applications and put through two rounds of telephone panel interviews.
They are:
Samantha Cobb, founder of biotech company AdAlta
Melanie Perkins of consumer technology company Canva
Tessa Court, founder of cloud computing company IntelligenceBank
Georgia Beattie, founder of wine product company Single Serve Packaging
Natasha Rawlings of mobile marketing company StreetHawk
Deb Noller, founder of Switch Automation
Vanessa Wilson, founder of cloud computing company Triplebackup
Fiona Waterhouse from clean tech company Utilitas
On Tuesday, before the mayoral function, the businesswomen spent the day in "boot camp", meeting visiting US venture capitalists and angel investors.
While some might seal funding as a result of the networking, all of them received coaching and left the day with a "personal advisory board".
Springboard has operated in the US since 1999 and came to Australia at the instigation of Wendy Simpson, now chairman of Springboard Enterprises Australia.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Playoff home ice is a first for Noble/Wells
Tuesday, February 25, 2014
NORTH BERWICK, Maine — As a program, the Noble/Wells hockey team is relatively young. In its 11th year of existence, the Knights will host a Western Maine Class A playoff game for the first time in its history tonight (6:30 p.m.) at the Rochester Arena.
"The key has really been the core of players who see the majority of the ice time," St. Cyr said. "They've all played for me for (at least) three years. To have that time to learn the system, it helps us add a few wrinkles to it. We can be flexible and tweak things."
St. Cyr said Noble/Wells will rely heavily on Ricker between the pipes. Ricker, a three-year starter, made 30 saves against Portland/Deering last Thursday. |

How the Gamboa family's woes are linked to US-backed law enforcement operation.
NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico — All is quiet now on Coahuila Street. But traces of the violence that destroyed the lives of two American brothers with businesses here linger.
A blackened structure is all that's left of Alan Gamboa's once-profitable radio communications business, after it was drenched in diesel and burned to the ground the night of Dec. 5. His brother, Ricardo Gamboa, is still missing — and feared dead — after being kidnapped by cartel gangsters on Coahuila Street the previous morning.
Violence and kidnappings have become almost commonplace in Mexico, as the country's civil drug war rages. Often, the murder and kidnap victims are American residents of border cities like Laredo, who are involved in the drug trade.
But the violence that upended the Gamboa brothers' lives is different. By all accounts, they were not drug dealers. Their only transgression, it seems, was to rent a house to the U.S. State Department and Drug Enforcement Administration, which set up an anti-cartel intelligence operation with Mexican federal police in the rented space.
The brothers' tragic story offers a rare glimpse into a part of Mexico's drug war that gets little notice. The narrative of the conflict as a fight to the death between drug cartels and the Mexican government often excludes another player: the U.S. government. And as the Gamboa tale demonstrates, the American government's actions in Mexico can also lead to casualties.
Alan Gamboa blames all that has transpired — and what might yet — on his government. He believes the U.S. thoughtlessly placed the brothers in the cartel's cross-hairs after they had spent years trying to walk a neutral line in violent times.
"It's not fair! It's not fair! It's not fair!" Gamboa lamented. "They (the DEA) put us into a very deep problem, very deep. They (the cartel) think I'm an informant, but I want them to understand that I don't do that. If I knew that house was for an intelligence organization, I would never have rented it out. I never wanted any problems."
For now, Gamboa feels he has no choice but to lay low with his wife and three children (ages 9 to 16) across the river in Laredo, Texas. Both brothers lived with their families on the U.S. side while running communications businesses on Coahuila Street across the river in Mexico.
"The cartel wants me dead," Gamboa said.
In an interview in their Laredo home, Gamboa's wife, Elsa, said, "What they'll do is let you settle into your ways, and that's when they'll hit."

I suggest that we voters reassess our commission and mayoral candidates according to this issue, which reveals where our values lie. Shame on the City of Miami Beach.

Lincoln Road: Where Good Taste Prevails
Many thanks for hacking out the scruff: Lincoln Road was a quirky, funny, unpredictable place until Nancy Liebman and her commission colleagues took a meat ax to it. Yes, there was some abuse of space, particularly among certain vendors. But they added color and pizzazz, and the performers were a delight. Unfortunately they did not conform to Liebman's definition of "good taste," which in recent years has seemed to embrace large hotels, towering high-rises, and chain stores.
I'm glad to hear that some of the vendors and performers are considering a lawsuit. In New York City, Mayor Giuliani and his crew have been waging war against street vendors and performers. The vendors outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art have been a particular target. They have been fighting back in court and have won every legal round so far.
I hope ours follow suit. I'm sure they'll have no problem mopping up the courtroom floor with our overpaid, overstaffed, and generally incompetent city attorney's office. Then perhaps the city will consider reasonable, harassment-free procedures to keep the fun in Lincoln Road while avoiding the unreasonable blocking of public space.

Digital Intrigue: Omissions and Inaccuracies
Is that the sound of an ax being ground? I believe several points should be made clear in response to Jim DeFede's article "Digital Intrigue" (August 30). Some obvious omissions indicate that the journalist has an ax to grind.
The first allegation is that Miami-Dade County Manager Steve Shiver tried to hide the Oracle-contract agenda item in the contract-modifications section of the agenda. Not true. In fact, as plainly told to Mr. DeFede twice, confusion resulted from internal communication problems. The placement of items in the department of procurement management section of the agenda is a department responsibility and was placed there by the department. As it was a modification to the existing county contract with Oracle Corporation, that seemed both logical and appropriate.
The foul-up occurred because for some reason the county attorney did not see the entire procurement item until the morning of the meeting. This was a flaw in our staffing process. It was assumed the attorney saw the entire procurement package, but he saw only the bid-waiver section. In fact this was a contract modification, but it was also technically a bid waiver. I have learned that other people Mr. DeFede interviewed gave him the same facts, yet those were ignored in the article.
A second but related point concerns the approach to procuring these financial applications. The intent from the beginning was to seek appropriate vendors already on state term contracts or other contracts with whom we could legally negotiate. We have used this approach successfully on several of the nine other CIO working groups. It is an approach especially well suited for information-technology projects and is routinely used nationally. Virtually every commission meeting has examples of already negotiated state contracts being approved for information-technology projects.
The third point to clarify concerns the statement that, without consulting PeopleSoft, the working group decided to add to the company's proposal the cost of the most expensive database. In fact when e-Verge Group and PeopleSoft submitted cost information, it included costs for the Oracle database licenses but omitted the price information for the ongoing (five-year) maintenance support of those licenses and fees for the Oracle Performance Management Pack. The company was contacted about this. Those costs that were omitted were imputed at the county's discount prices, which are below what is normally available on the market. This is the fairest way to get the true costs we could devise. It was not artificial, as Mr. DeFede's article stated. Pricing was addressed three separate times with both companies.
These and other points were thoroughly discussed with Mr. DeFede. I was disappointed that some were omitted from the story or not accurately portrayed.
B.R. Witt, chief information officer
Miami-Dade County
Jim DeFede replies: Regarding Mr. Witt's first point, I would remind him of his own words as quoted in my story: "The county attorney recommended that we do it as a separate contract and a bid waiver. And we were marching along that line and then we took it up to the manager and it was his decision to turn it into a contract modification." That was the key moment in this saga. Once Steve Shiver made that decision, then yes, Witt is correct. The actual placing of the item on the agenda was a department responsibility.
Are there people in county government who believe Shiver's decision was an attempt to hide the contract? Yes, there are. And while I could not identify them by name because they fear losing their jobs, they do exist.
Piggybacking onto existing contracts may have been done before, but as Commissioner Katy Sorenson pointed out during the meeting, rarely has it been done on a contract worth at least $9 million and perhaps as much as $30 million.

your rear end isnt "very weak" the ring gear on a 20 is bigger and thicker then on a dana 44 the only weak part of the 20 is the 2 piece axles
you just need a donor later moderl dana 30 front that has disc brakes to do the swap on i hapen to have a 30 front that has disc brakes and junk gears that would be perfect for that |

Covered in mud...
You don't need to do gears. Take his Dana 30 and take the complete outer knuckles and swap them over to the drum brake axle. I've done the same to convert from drum to disc.

Yes I have a new pair of moser engineering one piece axles that have about 40 miles on them.
http://www.moserengineering.com/axle...76-81-cj7.html blew the pinion bearings and gears out of the 20 so the axle is being replaced. I cut the old housing up last night to get the spacers out of the old axle so they could go as a full set. Going to put them up for sale on here today, you get first crack. Already have the backing plates pressed, on all you need to do is drive in the spacer that I cut out yesterday, throw the brakes on, bleed the brakes and attach tires and drive away. $200.00 |

Read More "Kingsolver is a gifted magician of words."--Time The extraordinary New York Times bestselling author of The Lacuna (winner of the Orange Prize), The Poisonwood Bible (nominated for the Pulitzer Prize), and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, Barbara Kingsolver returns with a truly stunning and unforgettable work. Flight Behavior is a brilliant and suspenseful novel set in present day Appalachia; a breathtaking parable of catastrophe and denial that explores how the complexities we inevitably encounter in life lead us to believe in our particular chosen truths. Kingsolver's riveting story concerns a young wife and mother on a failing farm in rural Tennessee who experiences something she cannot explain, and how her discovery energizes various competing factions--religious leaders, climate scientists, environmentalists, politicians--trapping her in the center of the conflict and ultimately opening up her world. Flight Behavior is arguably Kingsolver's must thrilling and accessible novel to date, and like so many other of her acclaimed works, represents contemporary American fiction at its finest. Read Less

I did not like this book at all, in fact I could not finish it. Very unrealistic and with really no point. I did like the Poisonwood Bible very much and I wonder what has happened to this author, as I could not finish another book of hers---forgot even the name. In any event will not be reading her again

I loved Flight behaviour (Faber & Faber) by Barbara Kingsolver, a novel about climate change and farm wife Dellarobia?s separation from her husband in America?s Deep South Bible belt. There are parallels all the way through between her story and that of the monarch butterflies whose migration patterns have been altered by climate change. Dellarobia ?abides captivity? with her husband Cub, whose farming family don?t believe in climate change (?weather is the Lord?s business?) and plan to log the mountainside to pay off a loan. The migrating butterflies are said to be in ?diapause? which means ?shutting down their sex drive until further notice?like marriage?; and a tree that fell over in the endless autumn rain ?like herself, ? just seemed to have come loose from its station in life?. The scientist who comes to study the butterflies relieves Dellarobia of ?a lifetime of illusions?Noah?s Ark and better days ahead?.

Beautifully written portrayal of this region of the country and the people who live there. Intimate, intriguing, mysterious and very well researched. Characters thoughtfully and respectfully portrayed. Through out all of it she makes this aspect of global warming understandable as a possibility. I loved the book!
Sep 7, 2013
In her latest novel Kingsolver delves slightly into the world of science fiction. No matter. Her depiction of Appalachia and the folks who inhabit this part of our country are spot on. Great plot line and a thoroughly enjoyable read.
Feb 22, 2013
Kingsolver has a gift with putting the mundane things of daily life into her form of language that is actually how many people think. It is amazing to read the way she does this all through the book. The content doesn't compel you to read as much as her gift with handling language. It is, however, a good read.

Humor is a necessity, at least, that's what I believe. Rough days/lives all around, but when you can bring a smile or laugh to someone, that connection can often lighten some of those unbearable, everyday burdens.
I have a special folder I've titled "Things That Make Me Smile" in my Favorites that I like to go look at when I'm having a rough day. This has often kept me from curling up and crying some days. Others, well, a laugh is always just a good thing to have often and it's always nice to see you aren't the only one who may view the world/words in a different way!
<------ I love ending with that one!!!

IMO, the bootscripts are not very useful when not used in conjunction with the book. I was going to propose that we use the book version for the blfs-bootscripts when we make a stable release and dated versions for the unstable. For the compatibility with lfs-bootscripts, I have included a file lfs-bootscripts.version in the root directory which will state the compatible lfs-bootscripts versions (right now there is only one but as new versions of lfs-bootscripts are released, we can add more). Opinions?

Raymond Smith III was born on July 5, 1989, in El Dorado, Arkansas, to the parents of Raymond Smith Jr. and Karen Smith. He was raised in Camden, Arkansas in the Fairview community along with his siblings Clifton Smith, brother, and Kennicka Smith, sister. His love for music was discovered when he was five years old. Ray wrote his first song while sitting in his first grade class at Camden Fairview Elementary School after the death of his uncle Cedric Smith. He showed his mother the song he written at school and she was amazed. In school, Ray was exposed to choir and band where he would be able to learn everything about music that he needed to place him where he wanted to be to start a music career of his own. In 2001, he was approached by his cousin Wayne Smith whom gave him a program called Fruity Loops so he could start learning how to make his own beats. In 2005, Ray began recording music in his parents living room at night while everyone was asleep. He went under the pseudonym "Young Ray". He went on to release early recordings to his peers in his high school. In 2006, his father was sentenced to a year and a half in prison. In 2007, after graduation, he attended college at Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, majoring in Digital Media Production. While there, he and longtime friend Patric Flannigan and a few guys there formed a group called Mob Squad. In 2008, after his father was released from prison, he dropped out of college and moved back to Camden where he would focus more on his music and worked in the Highland Industrial Park area of East Camden, Arkansas. In 2009, he was the opening act for artists like Lil' Boosie, Juvenile, Trina, Z-Ro, and more. In early 2010, before he released his mixtape "Push It 2 Tha Limit", he changed his stage name to Ray Rashad. The mixtape created a minor buzz for him. In 2011, after relocating to a different city, he released his second mixtape titled "My Story: Memoirs of a King". In 2012, he took over full production for his next project and created his own studio called "The Lecture Lounge". On April 1, 2013, he released his third mixtape called "Highway II Success: Chapter One". A few days after the release, his mother Karen Smith passed away from Multiple Sclerosis. Ray felt he wanted to give up music because his mom was his biggest supporter and became lost after her death. Later that year, he announced that he was in the studio recording his first album "Rayincarnation" with a release for summer 2014. In January, 2014, he released "That's What I Like" as the first single from Rayincarnation. On May 6, 2014, Rays first child, Samya Monet' Smith, was born. Rayincarnation is set to release on July 5th, 2014.

What Are The Chances Of That?
Scotland meet England yet again as teams prepare for European competition.
Scotland's women will meet their Auld Enemy counterparts, New Zealand and Italy in Group A when they travel to Cyprus in March for the sixth annual Cyprus Women's Cup. 8 March is the date for the meeting between the neighbours and it will be the first time the two sides have met since Kim Little scored in the 2-0 win at the 2011 tournament when she picked up her 50th cap. The Cyprus Women's Cup, organised by Scotland, England and The Netherlands in partnership with Cyprus Tourism Organisation and Erinor Tours, is established as an important event in the women's football calendar. It started in 2008 with six teams, and has now doubled in size to include 12 teams over three groups. UEFA also use the tournament to provide training and development for female referees. This year's tournament runs from 6-13 March in Nicosia, Larnaca and Paralimni.

So I went to the store to buy a gallon of lemonade.
I normally am in "Yellow", to me I still observe people, I "scan" people going by them, and just am aware of who is doing what around me.
Anyways, I went into the store, CC'ing, but printing. I go by this one guy, about 6ft 6'1 possibly. Grey sweatshirt (possibly a hoodie), with a logo in the middle on the front, and I think jeans. I passed him, he was behind me with a cart, I got my gallon of lemonade and went by him again, he was still in the same place. I took notice he left his cart and was walking my way, so I keep on thinking he could be getting something close by and left the cart. I went to the self check out because there was no line, and it would be fast. I take notice he is closer and I hurry up. I get out of the doors, they shut and I know he was behind me...So I am thinking "please don't let the doors open behind me, please don't." They open and it's the guy. I instantly go to "Orange", I reach in my left pocket, hit the "door unlock" for my car, leave the keys there, put the gallon in my left hand so if I would need it I could clear my shirt, and have access to my firearm. I get in my car, lock the doors and check the mirror, the guy is just standing there watching! I check again, he is still there. I would have normally went out that way, but i backed up and went the long way through the parking lot. The entire time the dude is watching me (he actually came out around the corner to watch), when I was about to leave the parking lot, he then looks again and goes back inside.
I can't figure out what he wanted, or what his plans were. I've never taken notice to him ever before at that store. To me, I think it's odd he came out and watched me get in my car and leave. I can't imagine what would have happened if he would have followed me to my car. I don't have OC spray either, just a firearm, that may change.
The guy was only in his 20's i'd say. While he was following, he wasn't fast to catch up, he kept his distance. When he was outside watching, he kept his hands at his side. He also didn't talk at all.
Part of me wishes I would have stopped and asked him what he needed.
Sorry for the long story, but it pretty much freaked me out.
