Our fearless leaders are aghast that they might be subject to rule of law. How droll!
zot23 commented on the blog post Washington Post Makes Massive Factual Mistake in Editorial Against Marijuana Legalization
As a Colorado resident who both voted for 68 and has followed the debate (and results) around legalization, I can tell you that the net effect on day to day life in CO is almost zero. No gangs of reefer heads hazarding old ladies on street corners, no middle schoolers languishing in opium dens getting their Bubba Kush on, no dramatic rise in crime or DUI behavior. The one area I have heard about is high schoolers getting fake MMJ IDs to shop in the stores, but this is a similar issue to having fake IDs for alcohol. The state needs to adjust the MMJ IDs so that they are harder to counterfeit and this issue goes away. I've been in the stores, they are nice and it is both easy and safe to buy. I don't use anymore than I had before, it's just easier to obtain. If anything, the police ceasing to "shake down" people for joints and filling the courts with these cases has really relaxed those normal tensions in the community.
The part that remains to be seen is the financial benefit. From what I've heard and read, it is looking pretty good but the proof is in the pudding as they say. I suspect just the savings on enforcement, court, and jail time has added significant benefits to the state's budget. Again we'll see in the next few months and years. I know that counties that adopted a wait-n-see attitude to allowing dispensaries are starting to implement them as the sky has not fallen in those that already have allowed it. If anything, I think they are rushing a bit to catch up as the financial windfall is being reaped by their neighbors who got onboard early.
Stupid WaPo. I don't think it will affect the people's vote (if the people show up at all), they tried the same exhausted canards here before 68 passed.
zot23 commented on the blog post Obamacare: 7 Million Signups Isn't 7 Million Covered
By that same logic though, the actual covered could be multitudes higher as well. Our family of five signed up for health and dental via the exchange. So 1 sign up = 5 people covered. So could the actual number covered be ~30 million when accounting for families?
My point is it's all anecdotal right now as far as how many actually got coverage, but we definitely know there were 7 million "signups". I can give the Obama folks a pass for right now, that seems to be a fairly successful rollout of their plan.
Signups vs. covered right now is a pretty nit-piky argument IMO.
zot23 commented on the blog post How Would a Progressive Fix Obamacare?
At the same time Jane, if you want the fixes Jon describes above, you have to start from the baseline of pushing for single payer and then "settling" for what you can get that works. Tea baggers don't really want to shut down the govt forever, but when they say that they get a heck of a nice chunk of their austerity wish list that was previously off-limits. Progressives would do well to learn the tactic: aim for the stars, settle for the moon.
zot23 commented on the blog post CBO Reminder: Public Option Would Significantly Reduce Premiums and the Deficit
Thanks for highlighting this Jon, I feel as though I've said this until blue in the face. No pressure on the private insurers = no decrease in prices.
Archiebird, why not vote on adding one now? Obviously, the house repubs would not let it through, but let them take the heat for it. I never understood Democrats hestitancy to make repubs vote against good legislation; make them own their stances in the next election. Folly.
Bring back medicare for all, make them vote on it!

You had that one right!
zot23 commented on the blog post Federal Exchange Sign Up Off to a Very Slow Start
Equally stupid was for Progressives to not keep pushing for a "trigger" mechanism that would enact a public option if the ACA and private options failed. Imagine how this feeling would be shifted if we all knew that if the exchanges failed in a year that we would all have access to Medicare at reduced rates? Who would care if they fixed the websites or not?
Unfortunately, that did not happen and "trust me" won the day for the ACA. Isn't that plan working out just peachy?
zot23 commented on the diary post Boulder's 100-Year Flood & Weather Weirding by Tom Weis.
bluevistas, Foothill development was probably insignificant compared to the raw power of the storm. Consider that 9.08″ of rain fell on Boulder proper during September 12th. This doubled the previous all time record of 4.5″ (in one day) set in 1919. Boulder County only gets 16.5″ annually in a typical year. So over half your [...]

Or start replacing asphalt shingles and clay tiles with glass and/or recycled plastic solar panel cells. If it can take a fully loaded 18 wheeler, it can definitely handle the roughest hail nature could throw at it.
zot23 commented on the blog post Come Saturday Morning: These Guys Just Might Save Us All
I haven't been too up to date on what's been happening in solar power. Just the 18.5% efficiency is pretty exciting. Last time I checked (a couple years ago) it was around 13% at the upper end. Very exciting stuff.
Some other great ideas for this stuff would be make glass panels for skyscrapers out of this stuff. Can you imagine what something like the Sears tower could generate on a hot Chicago day if the upper 2/3rd of it were covered in these panels? If they happen to be made out of recycled plastic too, that's just a win/win/win!
Exciting stuff, hopefully as a nation (and a species) we can start to really get on top of this issue before it gets completely on top of us…
zot23 commented on the blog post Ready, Shoot, Aim and Wayne LaPierre's World of Demons
Well, when you make a profit selling the guns to both the good guys and the bad guys, any gun battle looks pretty cherry I suppose. Do they check the color of the hats at the time of sale, or can they see anything beyond the green of the bills?

zot23 commented on the blog post Boy Scout hazed, bullied and denied Eagle Scout rank because he's gay
I'm a den leader for cub scouts and a Catholic. Or I was a Catholic until the organization decided to jump over a cliff rather than allow women to have any freedom whatsoever regarding positions in the church and birth control. Why can't these organizations shake these hateful ways and update their dogma to turn these "degenerate" moral failings into natural conditions given by God? Even if you can't come to fully welcome homosexuality, at least admitting it was decided by God (or nature) and not a choice would make a world of difference in the attitude of the organization.
Scouts is not as bad as the Church IMHO, but the backlash against gays and atheists should be dealt with, the BSA is doing themselves, and what is otherwise an excellent program for boys, a great disservice by not stepping up. At the upper levels the conservatism runs quite deep, so I can't see this changing anytime too soon. There is a struggle happening though, you see snippets of it in the news now and again. Eventually they will change with the times, they'll have to. Until then, I find it heartbreaking that the BSA (and the Church) is allowing this sort of hateful malaise to be the sheltered by their organizations. This poor kid and what he had to endure to be a scout should never be allowed to happen.
zot23 commented on the blog post Fed Announces Open-Ended QE3
This really makes my blood boil.
What benefit is this for 95% of the American population? The taxpayer? There is no way in hell this doesn't send the dollar lower, food and gas prices higher, and absolutely no new jobs. By the way, that's if it actually works as presented! Otherwise, it does nothing but allow institutions that should be insolvent to continue paying massive executive bonuses on the backs of the suffering US taxpayer. Disgusting.
What does the average citizen get out of this deal? Nothing, but they get it in abundance and open-ended. So we got that going for us.
Those incredible pricks. Wall St is officially dead, our economy is undead, our future is well and buried for at least a generation.
zot23 commented on the blog post Mass Shooting in Aurora, Colo; 12 Dead, 50 Wounded, Suspect Held
Let me just say that my thoughts and prayers are with those injured and the families of those that were killed, as well as the perp's family. I don't know if this guy watched too much TV (or owned one I guess?), listened to too much Rush, was a tea bagging gun nut, or just off his meds. It doesn't matter, 62 innocent people were viciously attacked and at least 12 of them perished in something pointless and stupid.
I live in North of Denver, I might even know some of these folks. Let's just chill out on the blame throwing for a few minutes please and remember that for 62 families today is a miserable, awful day. Maybe the worst one of their lives. Soon enough we'll know we'll know more than we ever wanted about James Holmes, why don't we calm the baiting? Aurora is mixed politically, the folks shot were likely Rush listeners, NRA advocates, Republicans, as well as NPR listeners, Obama supporters, perhaps even Occupy marchers.
This shot is awful, please let's not make it worse.
zot23 commented on the blog post Colorado tax dollars at work: two Senators deliver fundie eruptions against civil union bill
Unfortunately Pam, you missed the forest for the trees.
We've had several votes on civil unions over the years in CO, you never had to listen to the fundies before because they had the votes to squash the legislation. You heard from the pro-LBGT crowd, making sure their butts were covered with their constituents before the legislation went down in flames. For months, we've known in CO that this time the signals were lining up for CUs to actually pass and become law, therefore it is the fundies turn to get out there and make noise for their people before they lose.
I don't know, which do you prefer? To hear speeches from your side as you lose or hear this fundie speech as our culture moves forward. I know which one I prefer, looking forward to hearing as much fundie speech as I can going forward.

It saves even more when you factor in: no money spent for expensive court trials, jail time, appeals, housing MJ convicts, probation, etc. Probably bumps up to a Billion once all the factors are considered.

One consideration with a sawtooth roof is how it relates to the spaces underneath. The module of skylight and sloped roof could coincide with individual rooms, but it could work with an open plan just as easily. The view through the glass at bottom reveals a fairly free plan below the roof.
I love the way Burr & McCallum has treated the sloped roofs, painting the eaves a red that contrasts with the brown-gray walls and frames. The red really accentuates the sawtooth form, as if it's the most important part of the house.
The snow visible on one of the roofs points out another consideration with sawtooth roofs: what to do so snow does not accumulate at the clerestory windows. One solution is to pitch the roof in two directions, not just toward the windows; another is to use heating coils at the low point of the roof.
Here is one place where the sawtooth relates directly to an individual room. The clerestory on the top right aligns with a garagelike retractable wall below, creating a large opening between rooms.
That door is visible on the left side of this photo. In the foreground we can see another clerestory that is independent of an interior partition. The natural light that the clerestories bring into the open space is beneficial, both in terms of reducing energy consumption and increasing quality of life.
The second Burr & McCallum project has sawtooth roofs that are not as substantial as the previous house, but they cap a striking second-story volume that cantilevers over an outdoor space. Like the previous house, these shapes coincide with windows that extend down the sides perpendicular to the roof, helping to give the exterior and interior a rhythm.
From the other side, we can see that the sawtooth roofs are accompanied by other means of bringing in light, mainly a large corner volume with glass on four sides.
Another view of the exterior also shows a row of small round skylights in another part of the house. This illustrates that while sawtooth roofs enable plenty of sunlight, they are not a sole solution, especially when siting and massing lead to a variety of ways of daylighting.
A last example, this time by Griffin Enright Architects, is more complex in its form, but the same idea prevails. Gaps between roofs allow natural light to enter the interior spaces. Here we see a low volume on the left and a high one on the right; the gap between them lets light into the latter.
But the ceiling of the taller volume (here looking toward the smaller one) is what is most special. It is folded to create small gaps that are filled with glass. It would be nice to see a bit more glass in the clerestory at top, but there's a good deal of other glass areas that bring in plenty of natural light.

Performers Go Web
Writers, musicians, painters, filmmakers and artists of every kind are using the Web as a platform. Only one traditional art form does not have a strong presence in cyberspace yet—theater. But, as soon as one is willing to adapt to the medium, a new art form evolves, cyberformance.
The term cyberformance was coined by New Zealand performance artist Helen Varley Jamieson to describe "performance that uses the Internet to bring remote performers together, in real time, in a live theatrical event". She has been working for several years with the cyberformance troupe Avatar Body Collision, using free Internet chat applications to create performances in cyberspace. To provide her, her coperformers and their audience with a Web-based stage, she initiated an open-source project called UpStage, written by Douglas Bagnall (see the on-line Resources). The first release, launched in January 2004, was funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Research, Science and Technology and Creative New Zealand, and funds now are being sought to continue its development.
Of course, the software isn't restricted to on-line performances. UpStage also makes an interesting tool for on-line teaching, as well as product and other types of presentations. It even serves as a collaboration tool for virtual workgroups. UpStage's strength is its user-friendly and highly accessible interface: players and audience alike need to have nothing more than a standard browser and Internet connection to participate. Newbies can learn the basics and find themselves happily text-rapping and avatar-hopping in no time.
The server software itself is written in Python and comes with its own Web server, giving artists the opportunity to set up a stage easily, wherever their laptop is located on-line. Apart from the Web server, which requires the Python Twisted framework, the software makes extensive use of other open-source programs commonly installed on Linux systems, such as the text-to-speech-system Festival, the netpbm tools and gif2png. See the Problems with GIFs sidebar to this article for more details.
Often not shipped with Linux distributions are swfttools and the MP3 encoder lame. The timeout program from The Coroner's Toolkit, which is used during speech synthesis, also generally is not included. But it usually can be omitted if one isn't afraid to touch the source code.
The stage is a Flash client, and here is where the swfttools enter the picture. They convert the PNGs and JPEGs used both for stage decoration and as avatars into Flash format. Hence, performers and audience alike need the Macromedia Flash plugin for their Web browsers. KHTML- and Mozilla-based browsers work fine, but at present, Opera isn't suitable.
Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, the current version of UpStage does not honor PATH settings. Therefore, it is wise to check whether all the above-mentioned programs are situated in one of the directories that are hard-compiled into /bin/sh:
$ strings /bin/sh | grep -E "/(bin|sbin)" [...] /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin: /sbin:/bin
If not, appropriate links should be set. Otherwise, error hunting can become tricky, as UpStage isn't good at providing meaningful error messages in every situation. Things become even more complicated when using the sound tools. Despite UpStage using graphics tools in /usr/local/bin, it doesn't necessarily find lame there. So for users who aren't up to hacking the source, creating a link named /usr/bin/lame seems unavoidable.
Now it is time to start the server. Unpack the source archive, Upstage-2004-09-28.tar.gz, and enter the newly created Upstage directory. Here, you find the shell script go.sh that tries to kill an old twisted-server mentioned in the file Upstage/twistd.pid and starts a new one. So, don't worry about the relevant error message when you run ./go.sh as a nonprivileged user for the first time. It's only then that Upstage creates the pid-file.
For security reasons, it is not advisable to run UpStage as root. That's why the server uses an unprivileged port above 1024. The port on which your UpStage server runs can be configured. If you dislike the default port 8081, change the line:
in Upstage/upstage/config.py, and re-run ./go.sh.
Because the September 2004 version of UpStage is missing the directory that the server uses to store temporary MP3 files, you can save yourself a lot of trouble if you create it by hand:
mkdir html/speech
Now, point your local Web browser to the following: http://localhost:8081/, and you should end up at the entrance to your theater (Figure 1). To customize it according to your needs, change its HTML code in Upstage/html/index.html and the corresponding stylesheet, Upstage/html/style/main.css. It's a good idea to keep the relative link "" to the stages—your audience will be grateful—and the login for the artists.
The theater also has a back door for its personnel. The URLs http://localhost:8081/admin and http://localhost:8081/login.html lead you directly to a login dialog that can be changed in Upstage/html/login.html.
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.

Dr. Anthony Monteiro Fired Temple University
My Wise Country Cousin on Judas comin' to Cali…
by BAR Poet-in-Residence Raymond Nat Turner
Molefi Asante's brand of "Afrocentricity" means McCarthyism and race and class betrayal.
Reinistate Dr. Anthony Monteiro, and Reinvent U.S. Higher Education
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
It's not so easy to fire an associate professor of African American Studies who has forged strong ties with the surround Black community. Philadelphia's Temple University is finding that out, in the case of Dr. Tony Monteiro. Protesters converged on campus, this week, and their anger was directed as much at "Afro-centrist" Prof. Molefi Asante as at Teresa Soufas, the Dean of Liberal Arts who fired Monteiro.

SEE Finance 0.9.12.9 for Mac User Reviews
Results 1-9 of 9
"Not impressed"
Version: SEE Finance 0.9.12.9
I have not found this to be an extraordinary software.
Split Transactions are very cumbersome.
Help is very limited and not detailed.
Reports and sorting are limited.Summary
I bought the See Financial Software based on the reviews on this site. I guess I just don't get it. I am very disappointed and would not recommend it to others. Where some people commented it was intuitive, I have not found it to be so. The Help Section is very limited and not thorough at all. The "Split" transaction feature is very cumbersome. The reports and sort features are limited.
I am very disappointed with Apple that they haven't developed a personal financial software for Mac. I don't think SEE is any better than their competitors. -
"Beautiful, but not useful in the Netherlands?"
Version: SEE Finance 0.9.12.9
Works fast. Beautiful.
I cannot make an account for my Dutch bank: ING, so downloading is off. Csv-files can be imported, but the amounts are only stored as debit because of format in ING's file. Useless for me.
Cannot use until debit-credit problem is fixend by localisation.
"A great replacement for Quicken"
Version: SEE Finance 0.9.12.9
Full featured and faster than Quicken. Multiple currency capability.
No advance notice for recurring transactions, no price history for bonds. Mouse or key combination required to enter new transactions.
"SEE Finance - the Mother of all Mac Financial software?"
Version: SEE Finance 0.9.12.9
1. Simple + straigtforward. 2. Very Intutive. 3. Elegant GUI. 4. Very fast! 5. Direct Connect works flawlessly. 6 Investment features are great-porfolios automatically updated at every login. 7 Superb tech support, as good as I've ever experienced.
Haven't come upon anything yet
If I were reading what I am about to say about a new product, I would probably think it was a plant by the company itself. But that is definitely not the case; it's simply that SEE Finance is one amazing program!
I've been a longtime user of Quicken (probably a dozen years or more) and it was okay until I switched over to a Mac a couple of years ago. I've been using Quicken Premier 2009 on the Windows side and have been having more and more trouble with its glitches, hiccups slowness, and other problems. So I scoured the market for Mac financial software, looked at many and finally downloaded iBank 4 the other day. But when I went to start using it and import my Quicken data, I somehow stumbled across SEE Finance - and immediately was impressed by all the rave reviews. Don't know how I missed it on my earlier broad search - it just didn't surface among so many others. In any event iBank is just sitting on my Mac, as yet unopened. I've now brought all my Quicken stuff over - many accounts, credit cards, assets, liability items, and brokerage accounts.
In a couple of words, it's simply elegant - simple and straightforward yet with an elegant interface - and very fast, too. Actually it runs circles around Quicken and, more importantly, does the things I want to do better, cleaner and significantly faster. Because it seems so intuitive I forged ahead without looking at much documentation, of which there is plenty by the way. Because I didn't read much documentation I ran into a few glitches, although most all were of my doing rather than the program. So that was the point at which I decided to check out their support.
Wow, their tech support is superb beyond belief. It's via email and the first time I sent one, I had a very thorough, comprehensive response within a couple of hours. I've gone back and forth several times, mostly on brokerage accounts, and every time the response has been quick and thorough. I should have started using their excellent documentation early on but no doubt it's my lazy streak showing. In any event their tech support is as good as or better than any other company I've ever dealt with.
The version I downloaded, their latest, is 0.9.12.9. So they're not yet even at version 1.0 +, the usual launching point. I've not seen any reference to this being a beta version, and I haven't found any glitches. So can you imagine what this program will be like once they go beyond v. 1.0; it's an incredible application already. So it's also an incredible bargain at their introductory price of $29.99.
I guess one of the reasons I went to such length in describing this program is that I definitely want this company to succeed big-time. SEE Finance is so much better than Quicken ever came up with or, for that matter, anything else I looked at. Admittedly I haven't tried any of the other Mac programs - and at this point don't intend to.
Scimonocesoftware.com may have just created the mother of all Mac Financial Software!

Brain power has gone into developing SEE Finance. The reports are bountiful and don't waste paper like the convoluted iBank 4 reports do. SEE can do most everything now and will do it all soon. It is not officially released yet but it rocks!
Absolutely none to speak of. All eye candy and there is plenty is useful and can be turned off, by the way.
Look, folks, Lion is coming in the Summer. Rosetta is gone. Quicken 2007 won't run in Lion any more. It is essential to ferret out who is the Quicken Killer...is it the homely Moneydance, the "tell me nothing" reporting iBank 4 or the elegant SEE Finance, the "can and will do it all app", which you must choose from? I would put my money on SEE Finance and soon. It only costs about $29.95! What an app!
"Best financial software for Mac that I have found."
Version: SEE Finance 0.9.12.9
Easy to use with straight forward interface. Excellent reports. Best import capabilities of any Mac finance software. It accepted my MS Money files as well as those from Quicken for Mac and iBank.
None. However, it would be helpful to be able to edit directly in the register screen
Been using SEE Finance for 8 months. Moving from MS money to a Mac solution for finance was becoming a big problem until I found SEE Finance. It does everything I need and more. In my opinion no other finance program for Mac even comes close.
"Great Product!"
Version: SEE Finance 0.9.12.9
Features, ease of use, conversion of data.
Just a little rough pending version 1.0.
I've been using Quicken for Windows for 20 years - running it on Parallels since switching to a Mac a few years ago. Like so many others, I was first perplexed, then frustrated, then exasperated when, after years of promises, Intuit delivered a Mac version of Quicken that is, to be kind, a very bad joke.
But not only is SEE Finance three leagues up from Quicken Essentials for the Mac, it is actually superior in many ways to Quicken for Windows, and that's before version 1.0!
I'm pretty demanding of software but am very, very impressed with this product. Twenty years of Quicken data transferred flawlessly (for years Intuit was unable to convert Windows data to its own Mac version) and it's been smooth sailing ever since. Great support, great features, very easy to use. -
"This is the absolutely the best Mac financial software!"
Version: SEE Finance 0.9.12.9
It is very flexible, fast and offers all the functionally that a personal finance program should have! The trial period is unlimited and with full functionality! The price is very reasonable!
None so far.
I used Quicken when I had a PC. Switching to a MAC left me looking for a new solution. I bought MoneyWell, MoneyDance and Ibank4. I tested most of the others. Now I have found and use See Finance. It is far superior to all the other programs I have tried and/or bought!
"This software is awesome. I'm very happy."
Version: SEE Finance 0.9.12.9
Intelligent and simple layout, excellent help section, I moved from Quicken to this software. Much easier to use and truly an excellent program. I never write these reviews, and created this account to write this one I like it so much. Worth it!
Don't have anything bad to say.
If you are a mac user looking for an alternative to Quicken, you found it. You won't be disappointed. Tell all your friends about it. Great software like this should be utilized and supported. Pay for it and support the cause!

ummm actually the Bears were lucky to even be in the game it should have been a Pats blowout. The refs gave them 7 points. How many flukes and breaks can they possibly catch, along with the refs assistance and still not win? unbelivable. Just when i thought they had got their share of luck, and they get more. And they still can't even win it.
I agree. Grossman and his offense suck, granted the running game is decent but we lost Seau and thats when they started running well. The only thing that kept them in it was our turnovers and most of them werent really our fault. The two interceptions were hardly Brady's fault as I remember, Watson getting nailed was a FLUKE or a smash mouth hit by the Bears defender causing the INT or was it a fumble? The real turn over that pissed me off badly was the double fumble. The strip of Watson was simply a good play but Reche...man you have to go down, you are close to the endzone, just caught a break, fall down and let us get a TD or Fieldgoal. Oh yeah, PI calls were bull****. I hate the zebras A LOT.
Probably they werent watching the same game as we... they get 7 points by the zebras and still dare to say that they should had dominated us?
I got the impression Grossman just kinda throws the ball up there in the direction of his reciever and hopes he makes a play on the ball. Many were throw and hopes. His shorter passes looked to be ontime and ontarget, but his long passes he just throws the ball up there.
Absolutely Steve...and you can tell the receivers work hard on that. They use the same techniques every time...and they are sure strong enough to pull it off against smaller DB's like we have. Samuel had to be expecting it because he left himself room on that last INT to pull it off...the receiver looked extremely surprised how Samuel did it....I wish I had a photo of that... I wouldn't be proud of my team getting receptions and penalties that way...it's the opposite of how hard and proud their defense played all game long...helmets off to them...we earned every yard today which will help us down the road.
someone needs to call out their off coordinator like we do with mcdaniels here..the bears off playbook is quite predictable with so minimal short throwing routes...just 2 runs and deep ball and then they blame grossman all the time....
Griese might get them to the Championship Game, maybe even to the Super Bowl. Grossman won't. He should be benched. The NFC is really bad. Chicago is arguably the best team in the conference (perhaps excepting Dallas) wvwn with Grossman. They are better without him.

Network boot with PXE
PXE lets you start your computer by downloading a boot image from the network. We'll show you how to use PXE to install Linux.
Some people call it "Pixie," but PXE is actually an acronym for "Preboot Execution Environment." This Intel specification dates back to the 1990s. PXE lets a client computer connect to a server and download a boot image over the network. This technology was designed for terminal-based computing environments, where a thin client device without on-board storage must find and download a boot image. Since then, admins have found other uses for PXE – for instance, as a tool for network installation of normal PCs. A PXE server can save an admin mileage when installing a large number of computers – connect to the network, boot, and install. The best thing is that setting up this whole constellation just involves a couple of simple steps.

Michael shrugged and said, "Yeah, why not?" while Jeremy perked up. "Yeah!"
I slapped butter into the frying pan and punched holes out of the centers of slices of bread, ready to drop the eggs in. When I set their plates in front of them, Michael was giving me a cold, studied look.
"What's the matter?" I said.
After the boys left, Joe put down his magazine and said, "You know, I had a crush on you in school."
"Yeah, right," I snapped. "You rarely spoke to me." Who was he kidding? Football players never paid attention to me. I was a semi-geek, sort of on the fringes of things. Some of my friends were "popular" and some weren't. "When was this - while you were dating Chrissy like mad?"
"No, before that," he said.
Oh. Well, so what? He wasn't my type anyway. I wasn't attracted to dominant, arrogant guys. Instead of commenting, I wiped up the table, which meant that I had to reach around him, which made me more uneasy.
He watched me intently. "Yeah, you never noticed. So I gave up."
Did he think I was an idiot? His type, if he liked somebody that way, would have come on strong. There's no way he would have shied off like a scared little reject. But I didn't want to call him a liar. All I really desired at this moment was to get out of there.
"You dating anyone?" he asked. "You were married for a while, weren't you? Do you mind if I ask what happened?"
Yes, I mind, you intrusive bore. But I said, "It didn't work out, that's all. I'm not exclusively dating anyone." Actually, I wasn't seeing anyone at all, but married men were not remotely on my list of potentials and anyone with a molecule of gray matter could see what Joe was up to here.
"You must get frustrated," he said. "I mean without anyone."
Oh for crying out loud. "It hasn't been that long," I said, still in my nicer tone of voice. Though any minute...
"A nice, sexy, good looking woman like yourself in the prime of her life..."
I stopped wiping. He had the look of any male animal on the rut. I hadn't seen that for a while, but it was like riding a bicycle, you never forget it.
"Joe," I said. "Your daughter is in serious condition in the hospital and you're coming on to me."
This didn't seem to faze him. "Look," he said. "Even before Susie had the accident, Chrissy and I...well, we had our problems."
I sat down across from him, still gripping the dishcloth. "What marriage doesn't have problems?" I said hopefully, trying to get him onto a more abstract path.

5 Cash-Rich Stocks to Buy in 2013
Activision Blizzard
Activision Blizzard (ATVI - Get Report) is playing its way to big profits in 2013 -- and its share price is already reflecting an upswing in momentum. Activision Blizzard owns some of the hottest video game franchises in the world, including Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and Diablo. The firm also boasts a huge cash position, with more than $3.4 billion of cash and investments on its balance sheet.
That huge cash balance means that more than a quarter of ATVI's share price is made up of risk-free cash. On an adjusted basis, that means that the firm currently sports a P/E ratio of just 10. A big part of Activision Blizzard's cash generation capabilities come from the ongoing service component that its multiplayer games feature. With Wold of Warcraft, for instance, some 10 million subscribers pay a monthly fee to play the game online with other players in real time. That subscription component provides ATVI with recurring, high margin revenues. And they're sticky too. Because gamers have a massive sunk cost in building characters and attaining status, they're a lot less likely to switch to a competing franchise and restart the process.
More recently, Activision Blizzard has been working to integrate that same cash cow model into more traditional game franchises. The firms' Call of Duty Elite service is the best example of that right now. The franchise model is another big benefit for ATVI shareholders. Because the firm can build on the popularity of its past successes within a franchise, it's able to court fans of those games with minimal extra effort. As ATVI continues to pile cash in its coffers, investors are going to need to pay attention. This stock has dramatically reduced fundamental risks thanks to that mountain of money.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

"Sport is competitive," Reedie told the AP. "If you lose the competitive element, then the whole thing becomes a nonsense.
"You cannot allow a player to abuse the tournament like that, and not take firm action. So good on them."
The eight disqualified players are world doubles champions Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang of China and their South Korean opponents Jung Kyun-eun and Kim Ha-na, along with South Korea's Ha Jung-eun and Kim Min-jung and Indonesia's Meiliana Jauhari and Greysia Polii.
The players went before a disciplinary hearing Wednesday, a day after spectators at the arena booed their performance after it became clear they were deliberately trying to lose.
International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge had been at the venue but had left shortly before the drama unfolded. The IOC said it would allow badminton's ruling body to handle the matter.
Paul Deighton, chief executive officer of the London organizers, said there would be no refunds for the evening's badminton program. Chairman Sebastian Coe called what happened "depressing," adding "who wants to sit through something like that?"
Teams blamed the introduction of a round-robin stage rather than a straight knockout tournament as the main cause of the problem. In the round-robin format, losing one game can lead to an easier matchup in the next round.
The Chinese players were accused of leading the way by deliberately losing a game. This led to other teams behaving in a similar way to try to force an easier quarterfinal. At one stage, both teams appeared to be trying to lose.

The Cambria County War Memorial Arena is coming off the busiest 23 days in its history, according to General Manager Tom Grenell. The numbers are backed by a host of shows that sold out - or did nearly - this month and mark the perceived success of a new "sabermetric"-type approach to entertainment scheduling at the venue.
Grenell said he gave War Memorial operators some homework: Watch the 2011 Brad Pitt film "Moneyball." The plot follows a baseball team general manager's application of baseball statistics and objective analysis to forecast "hot" players and create a successful ball club on a tight budget and with limited resources.
"I took that concept and ran it here because we have to be different," Grenell said. "We built this concept on the belief that the more activity we can put in here on top of each other, the bigger the buzz we could create in the market.
"It really seemed to work and we're going to continue to do this," he said of the homespun, grassroots-style campaign. "What it's done is given a launching pad for rebranding - a rebirthing of the War Memorial, if you will."
More than 36,000 people had eyes on the War Memorial stage in those 23 days - that's more than two sold out Penguins games, Grenell said.
The Beach Boys concert sold out; a Christian rock tour featuring headliners Third Day and Skillet sold out. Disney on Ice reached around 85 percent capacity - the highest volume since the show debuted at the arena in 1996, according to Grenell. Pink Floyd tribute band Brit Floyd had its highest arena attendance in three years.
In all, $32,707 went back into the city through the 5 percent amusement tax, according to an official report from assistant GM Karen Gregorchik.
Grenell said he couldn't have made it happen without help from Hal Dues, a supervisor for the county's Adult Probation Department, and the 20 or so community service workers he directs. He said Dues has become fairly proficient at stage building and striking. The extra agility - which is also free - resulted in entertainment promoters getting a bigger cut and ticket prices staying level.
"Now they've synergized with our staff," he said. "They're getting to know us and we're getting to know them.
"We couldn't have done this without them. We couldn't have afforded to pay 20 people."
The feverish gamut of shows was drawn up in October last year, Grenell said. It was ambitious to a fault - often, entertainment promoters like to be the only show in town to maximize profits. Grenell said they had to sell them on the idea that "more is better," he said.
"We put a lot of business in this one thing and this was a test," he said. "And everbody walked out of here with money, everybody walked out of here with a great time, so now, the phone keeps ringing.
"We're ready to keep doing business."
The arena authority stressed caution, however - not every month can be a smash like this March.
"I think everyone understands that pace isn't going to be there every month," Authority chairman Dean Gindlesperger told the board during its regular Monday meeting.
He said although the arena is looking to be the "focal point" of entertainment in the city, too much too fast can cause the dollars to dry up.
"You just can't afford to go to $50 to $60 shows every week," he said. "What we don't want to do is have a three- to four-month drought. We want to have something in here for entertainment."
That's why the authority is looking to renew its contract with operator SMG Entertainment. The contract is set to expire in June. Authority members held a lengthy executive session Monday on contract stipulations but nothing has been finalized, Gindlesperger said.
"We're not in the entertainment business. We're just authority members that do our best to look out for the county's best interest," he said. "They're in the business. They know the promoters. That's what they do best."

2014 COLA to rise 1.5 percent
The Social Security Administration announced Wednesday morning that the cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, for 2014 will rise 1.5 percent.
Estimates point to slight COLA hike
Preliminary figures suggest next year's benefit increase will be roughly 1.5 percent, according to an analysis by The Associated Press. The increase will be small because consumer prices, as measured by the government, haven't gone up much in the past year.
Shutdown delays COLA announcement
Millions of federal retirees will have to wait to find out the size of next year's cost-of-living adjustment. The Labor Department says it won't report inflation statistics on time this month, which will delay the Social Security Administration's COLA calculation.

Paul Sanders was said to have shouted: "This is how you get your dog to swim" as he lobbed his terrified 10-year-old collie Shep from the pier at Babbacombe Bay, Torquay.
Shocked onlookers - including horrified children - screamed as unemployed Sanders, who was only wearing swimming trucks at the time, grabbed his dog and pushed it off a stone wall, plunging 15ft into the sea.

Hamilton 3-2 Raith: Match Report - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game as it happened.
Scotland nets dramatic winner
Jason Scotland scored deep into stoppage time to secure a dramatic 3-2 win for Hamilton against Raith.
John Baird's brace appeared to have rescued a draw for Rovers but veteran striker Scotland kept the Accies one point behind leaders Dundee
Baird opened the scoring in the last minute of the first half when he swept in Calum Elliot's lay-off.
However, Hamilton drew level after 65 minutes when Darian Mackinnon fed Tony Andreu in the area and his shot was deflected into the net.
Three minutes later James Keatings headed in a cross from Louis Longridge to put the Accies into the lead but Rovers hit back straight from the kick-off through Baird's sixth goal in eight games
But Scotland struck three minutes into injury time when he swept in Jonathon Routledge's pass.

Talk It Up
Prefer to make up your own tales rather than read from the page? Great! Telling children stories about travel or a cultural tradition automatically exposes them to different words and concepts. So arrange a time when you can come to the class to talk about your job, where you come from, a trip you just took?anything. It's helpful to bring a prop to help spark discussion and focus the kids' attention, says Rasco. But don't feel pressured to make your presentation fancy. Simply listening to and conversing with a new grown-up is beneficial for kids.
Share Books
A recent report commissioned by RIF indicates that increasing children's access to books significantly increases their literacy skills and reading performance. Make a list of your family's favorite books and encourage other parents in the class to do the same. You can share lists and then start an informal book swap.
National PTA recommends dedicating a section at your school's book fair to new and gently used books donated by parents and available at no cost (one or two per family, depending on supply).
Liven up the Library
If you notice that the media selection at the school library doesn't match the diversity of the school or community, hold a fund-raiser to drum up money for new titles. You might also work with your PTA to hold a book drive to build the school's collection or to share with local families. For more ideas, Rif.org has great book lists, reading games, and activities.

I've listened closely to President Obama while he's been engaged in townhall meetings and his recent press conference and I just don't get the bailout yet.
The only thing that I can see actually working would be for government to somehow magically replicate consumer spending, savings, and investment behaviors during in a vigorous or thriving ecomony.
I'm don't profess to be all that literate when it comes to formulating economic recovery plans…but there seems to be wide gaps in job creating features that has been somehow laced in this package.
Of course the actual words that Obama uses are, "Our goal is to create or save 4 million jobs. Which is it? Create or save jobs…in a way that there would be some broad scope of jobs that would meet the needs of more than just construction workers and medical records transciption…and like type jobs that the president keeps mentioning.
What do people do who are forced into underemployment…who once had a 75,000 a year family income who now has a 35,000 or 40,000 a year income? That income might cover bare essentials, but major things like homes and cars have to be significantly scaled down.
I'm really concerned about the idea that dropping 60 to 100 billion into the education system…to build more educational infrastructure is not going to come close to addressing education problems. It's just building more facilities where the same teaching behaviors will continue.
Sorry…just don't get it.

Khao Yai, Thailand
With beautiful Khao Yai National Park standing just beyond their vines, the decade-old group of vintners in central Thailand's Asoke Valley has to compete for attention with lush natural beauty like the Haew Narok and Haew Suwat waterfallsas well as such spotlight-stealing wildlife as giant monitor lizards, monkeys, and herds of elephants. So is this the South Africa of up-and-coming wine trails? Perhaps, though to judge by the medals earned by the elegant syrah from the region's GranMonte winerysilvers at both the 2011 Decanter World Wine Awards and France's 2011 Syrah du Monde competitionKhao Yai might compare most favorably to Australia, where GranMonte's winemaker (and Thailand's first female oenologist) Nikki Lohitnavy once studied. In addition to good syrah, look out for other spicy reds, like the rich tempranillo from PB Valley winery (pictured), which picked up a gold at the 2007 AWC International Wine Challenge in Vienna. Both of these wineries offer simple guest rooms, and both also produce elegant whites from underexposed old-world varietals like chenin blanc and colombard. Just watch out for the monkeys!

ExplanationsI want to ask you all a question, all in all it's a very simple question, but firs I want to develop some background to my curiosity.I've spent the majority of my life without meaningful female company, no idea why, and it doesn't matter since that isn't the issue. Now, I've been told I'm a nice guy, and I like to think that's true, kind, caring, considerate, sensitive, affectionate, etc blah blah blah. But still, girls have passed me up for other men, now fine, that's their choice entirely, I don't begrudge them that, and frankly these days I don't care. But I've seen it happen to other guys, my friends sometimes, nice enough blokes, caring, kind bleeeeh, you get the idea. But through all that I notice a recurring theme, so I did some digging, trawled places on the internet that are best left buried under the piles of refuse they were created in, and found that this theme presented itself almost universally, in a large majority of females, not simply XX chromosome "females" but those

When switching between turtle and phoenix does the aoe dmg from phoenix return mana/health from the passive that he gets in turtle?
No, the turtle is pretty much super life steal (since you regain mana off of it too.) I do not believe you regain health/mana off the bonus damage every third strike either, but that is off the top of my head. If it is just added to normal attack damage, it would be calculated in; if it is just 100 bonus damage I would say nay.
so... mainly wondering... like if you get sunfire cap, and max phoenix and turtle... does that aoe dmg that you are outputing, return as health and mana in turtle form?
As far as I know, life/manasteal only triggers off auto attacks.
Senior Wrenchman
Yeah, AOE damage does not return lifesteal, it's only off of your auto attack. Even if you have Tiamat and are doing AoE physical damage auto-attack the lifesteal only comes from the first unit hit.

Some good news to counter the Oakland Rapper Alleged Sex Predator? blog post.
Kwik Way, the place known for its big, greasy burgers of the 70s and 80s reopened two days ago. Its at 500 Lake Park Avenue, just down the street from the Grand Lake Theater.
During the 70s, and when this blogger was in junior high and high school, Kwik Way was known as the "hang," the favored burger joint, where one could stand outside and watch the food being prepared. It was an excellent stop after a movie at The Grand Lake Theater, so it's a given the movie palace's owner Alan Michaan is grateful for it's reopening. But it was a long time coming.
For most of its history, Kwik Way was known for good food, but, and from memory starting in the late 80s, it became known for bad food, created in unhealthy conditions. You could just stand there, outside the side window on the Lakeshore-facing end, and just watch the dark grease cook where your fries were made.
I'm not kidding.
The most famous story came during the late 80s, and was about a cooked, dead rat found in one of the food orders from Kwik Way. That story hit the Oakland Tribune, and patronage fell dramatically. By the early 90s, about 1992, Kwik Way closed.
For almost 20 years, the site at 500 Lake Park was the focal point for talk of some kind of replacement. For a time, it was said that a McDonald's Franchise would be built there, but the plan ran into activist opposition. Then a proposal to establish a Fatburger Franchise created a lot of buzz, but no action.
Now, after a long period of darkness, and thanks to San Francisco's Gary Rizzo, Kwik Way is back, and cleaner than ever. The fries are fresh, not greasy and while the establishment calls back to another time, it doesn't have the problems of the Kwik Way of that time.
Stay tuned for more on the reopening of an Oakland Legend.
Pam Drake On The Lakeshore Business District
In case you missed it, a while back, I talked to Lakeshore Business Improvement District head Pam Drake about how the area's economic performance, and the ongoing parking issue, in this video:
Overall, there are more businesses, but the fear of getting a parking ticket still keeps some patrons away. Even with that, she says Lakeshore has "really picked up."
In case you're wondering, this video was made at Cana, the new eatery on Lake Park.
Stay tuned.

PNC Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
PITTSBURGH -- Familiar surroundings allowed Brad Lincoln to be aggressive in his quest to remain part of Pittsburgh's starting rotation.
Lincoln allowed two hits and a run in six innings, Andrew McCutchen hit a three-run homer and the Pirates won for the sixth time in seven games with a 4-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday.Lincoln (4-2) carried a no-hitter through five innings before Ramon Santiago singled to lead off the sixth. Moved into the rotation June 6, Lincoln had allowed 13 runs in 11 2/3 innings in three previous starts -- all on the road.Counting his time in the bullpen, Lincoln had pitched 15 1/3 scoreless innings at PNC Park this season until Miguel Cabrera led off the seventh with a home run."We did want to give him an opportunity to pitch at home," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "There's no place like home -- Dorothy said it a long time ago. Our pitchers have pitched well here. There's a comfort zone here, they're aggressive and attack the zone, and Brad was able to follow suit with that today."The Pirates' 2.26 home ERA leads the majors and is a big reason why they have won eight of their past nine games at PNC Park. Pittsburgh clinched its fourth home series win, their eighth win in the past nine series overall."Hopefully, we can keep the momentum going," said McCutchen, who continued a torrid pace with his 13th homer. He came into the game with 14 hits in his previous 25 at-bats."Different guys are coming through, getting on base and getting the big hits."Mired in a major North American professional sports record streak of 19 consecutive losing seasons, the Pirates (38-32) moved a season-high six games over .500.Detroit starter Max Scherzer (6-5) rejoined the team Saturday after being away the previous two days for what the team called personal reasons.Schrader Funeral Homes and Crematory outside his native St. Louis and near his residence in the city's suburbs lists confirmed they will hold a service for Max's brother Alex Scherzer. Alex Scherzer died Thursday at 24. The service is also listed on their website."I can't imagine what he must have been feeling today," Tigers catcher Alex Avila said. "I don't if there any words to explain what he's going through right now. He pitched a great game, really pitched his heart out."Through a team spokesman, Scherzer politely declined to speak with reporters. In what was a subdued postgame clubhouse, Tigers first baseman Prince Fielder talked quietly with Scherzer."Everybody knows it was under real tough conditions but I just think it's best that we make that a private topic," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "I really don't think it's my place to get into it."Scherzer allowed three runs, three hits and had seven strikeouts."Other than the three-run homer, I thought Max was great," Leyland said."It's tough to make only one mistake and lose a ballgame, but we're just not scoring runs right now and we haven't for the last four or five games."The Tigers were limited to one run and four hits for the second consecutive day in Pittsburgh and have scored five runs over their past four games. Detroit has lost three of four.Lincoln had a career-high seven strikeouts and one walk.At one point over a span from the fourth inning into the seventh, Lincoln threw 21 consecutive strikes. Only 19 of his 79 pitches were balls."I was able to attack the zone, throw a lot of strikes and get guys out when I needed to," Lincoln said."That pitch to Cabrera, I was not going to walk him -- I was going to go right at him mano y mano, and he got the best of me. That's how it works, but I felt good out there today."Juan Cruz relieved Lincoln and allowed Fielder's double, but lefty Tony Watson retired Avila and Jhonny Peralta to end the seventh.Jason Grilli had two strikeouts in a perfect eighth. Joel Hanrahan struck out Avila to end the game after allowing a single and a walk after two outs in the ninth. Hanrahan has 19 saves in 21 chances.Scherzer had won five of his previous six decisions, including striking out 15 Pirates batters in a 4-3 win May 20.Cabrera snapped an 0-for-15 stretch with his 15th home run off a full-count pitch in the seventh. It was Detroit's second homer in its past six games.Pittsburgh's Alex Presley had two hits. Neil Walker had an RBI single in the seventh.Game notes
The Tigers have had four hits in each of the two games so far in the series. ... The game attracted the second consecutive sellout to PNC Park, the sixth this season. ... The Pirates have not had a no-hitter since July 12, 1997, when Francisco Cordova and Ricardo Rincon combined on a 10-inning no-hitter. The most recent solo Pittsburgh no-hitter came from John Candelaria on Aug. 9, 1976. ... The most recent time Tigers RHP Justin Verlander (7-4, 2.57) faced the Pirates, he took a no-hitter into the ninth inning in Detroit May 18. He will start the series finale Sunday.

Macedonian Information Agency, EUBusiness, RFE/RL
Macedonia's local elections in March and April 2005 were widely considered a test of the country's political stability as it prepares to move ahead on the road to EU accession. Voting went peacefully, and the country's prime minister, Vlado Buckovski, hailed the process as a "model" for the future.
International observers also praised the peaceful conduct of the elections, but said there was evidence of irregularities during all three rounds.
According to OSCE monitors, these included group voting, ballot stuffing, stolen ballots, intimidation and violations of voter privacy. The organisation criticised authorities for not addressing the problems adequately, noting that similar irregularities -- often at the same locations -- were observed during all three rounds.
Eighteen mayors were elected during the first round of voting, while another 47 races went to the second round on 27 March. In addition, revoting or delayed voting was held in 19 municipalities, plus the city of Skopje, on 10 April.
In all, 36 of the mayoral races were won by the ruling Together for Macedonia coalition, with the ethnic Albanian Democratic Union of Integration -- a partner of the ruling coalition – won 15. The opposition VMRO-DPMNE won 21. The VMRO-People's Party won 3 mayoral seats, the Democratic Party of Albanians/Party of Democratic Prosperity 2 and the Macedonian Roma Alliance 1. Seven races were won by mayors supported by a voter's bloc.
In the race for the city of Skopje, Trifun Kostovski won with 96,207 votes, defeating Risto Penov, the candidate of SDSM-led coalition, who received 26,052.
