Classroom isn't only place for education
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
So one morning a few weeks ago I had a student, I'll call her Julie, arrive early as she often does. This day, however, something was different. You see Julie, by her own admission deals with a lot of anxiety and one of the ways it manifests itself is she has a very hard time speaking aloud in class. I mean typically I can barely hear her answer a question even if I'm standing very close. She is well aware of this struggle because "I want to get over my anxiety" was how she answered my very first question of the day to her class, share one of your goals for this year. I definitely wanted to help but wasn't having a lot of success.
Half way across the room Miranda, who was sitting at her desk working on lesson plans, whipped her head around and our eyes met in utter disbelief as we heard the initial scream and opening lines virtually thunder from our sheepish, ultra-quiet, anxiety laden Julie:
All during that recitation I could scarcely stand to take my eyes off her and yet I could hardly tear them away from Miranda's as we both stared in wonder at this vulnerable young freshman who could barely find the courage in class to utter "me gustan los libros" (I like books) above a whisper. Yet her she was, instantly and completely in character, flawlessly reciting a monologue that had previously been delivered to an audience of several hundred. I'm telling you her excitement was so palpable you'd have thought she actually was the fashion designer of this fictitious dress collection, that her hands had turned up the hems, crocheted the lace-work, and sewn on the sequins. And when she was done we applauded—she just quietly beamed. It was one of those moments that teachers live for.
You might not believe it but I'm telling you there are times when more education happens before or after class than during class. That day did not break the steel rod that is Julie's anxiety, but it sure bent it.

It's too bad its under the CDDL which is incompatible with the GPL and hence this will never be in the mainline Linux kernel.
Phoronix: ZFS File-System On Linux Keeps Marching Along
For those interested in the native port of ZFS to Linux, the work being done by LLNL and others continues to advance...
It's too bad its under the CDDL which is incompatible with the GPL and hence this will never be in the mainline Linux kernel.
PulseAudio was also included in Ubuntu ... remember their bloody show opening? took some time for PA to mature, being there as a default or an option doesn't make it stable and tested (specially on ubuntu and fedora, lol)Er, it comes as an option with Ubuntu 12.10 and I think Fedora offers it too now. I don't think it's the default choice anywhere yet, but it's getting there. I don't think it's *really* distant future...
Btrfs at the moment has no stable on-disk format, no fsck tool yet, and the extensive testing that ZFS had through all these years ... Some friends of mine had really ugly experiences with btrfs and I see there's a double speech in there about btrfs readiness.
I wouldn't *rely* on btrfs for the kind of deployment that would need a fs of such characteristics.
The guys behind ZFSonLinux are doing pretty good stuff!
I have ZFS on my netbook (powered by AMD E350), it even boots from ZFS. I use only the snapsot and compression features. Snapshots already saved my life twice in this year.
I tried btrfs with my collegue half year ago. We got kernel panic in three weeks. My collegue has still keeping his hdd waiting for a working fsck in order to be able to restore some valuable data.
PS - BTRFS is selectable for Ubuntu 12.04 as well. I've installed four machines with it recenlty. So far, so good.
Lets talk about data integrity. Linus Torvalds complained about one ext4 issue a few years ago and some hacks were put into place to reduce the pains caused by them, but the problem is still there:
ext4 journals only metadata by default, so if something does go wrong, you can lose data. Using fsck.ext4 to repair the filesystem will bring the filesystem into a consistent state, but it only does that. Being consistent doesn't mean that your data is still there. Running fsck.ext4 will do nothing to fix data corruption caused by a crash or even report it.
There are also other issues, such as a lack of checksumming. Recently, an extension was done for inode checksumming, which helps, but it only covers inodes and it doesn't provide the kernel with the general ability to fix things if the checksum fails:
There is no redundancy in ext4 at all. It relies on things like hardware RAID for that. This promotes situations where hardware is used that ignores barriers. ext4 relies on barriers to maintain consistency after a crash provided that fsck.ext4 is used to repair it. Ignoring barriers breaks whatever consistency guarantees ext4 was able to provide. That is not to say that other filesystems are immune (they are not), but ext4 requires other things to provide redundancy while ZFS does not.
I could also talk about performance and features, but if a filesystem can't keep your data safe by design, it isn't worth using.

Logic Pro gives you a massive collection of plug-ins and sounds to fuel your creativity. The Sound Library is also a powerful source of inspiration, thanks to Patches that allow for rich layers of instruments and effects — and Smart Controls that let you easily shape any sound.
A huge selection of sampled instruments, sound effects, and royalty-free loops — put together by some of the world's top sound designers — gives you more creative freedom than ever. The Sound Library features over 1500 instrument and effect Patches for voice, guitar, and other recorded instruments — all designed to work with creative tools like the Arpeggiator, Smart Controls, Track Stacks, and more. To take your sound even further, you can merge Patches for interesting results.
Work with a collection of over 3600 electronic and urban loops, covering everything from Hip Hop to Electro House, Dubstep, Modern R&B, Tech House, Deep House, and Chillwave.
Open Drum Kit Designer and select a kit. You can swap pieces to build a custom kit, choosing from a diverse variety of snares, kicks, toms, hi-hats, and cymbals. Finesse the sound of each drum by adjusting the tuning, dampening, and gain. And enable stereo or mono room and overhead mics. Each kit comes with its own unique mix designed by an industry hit maker. Choose a more elaborate Producer Kit and it loads with a Patch that gives you access to the full multi-channel mix, along with all the processing and routing the producer used. Once you see how the pros get their signature sounds, you can go with their techniques — or tweak away.
This powerful drum synthesizer combines a wide range of technology for producing drum sounds with a self-contained pattern sequencer. Ultrabeat offers subtractive component modeling and sample playback within each of the 25 drum voices. It's never been easier to create original drum beats.
The Arpeggiator transforms simple chords into elaborate performances. Go with professionally designed presets, or shape the evolving performance by adjusting the rate, note order, and octave range of the notes. And add swing to help the Arpeggiator groove with the feel of your song. Additional MIDI plug-ins give you even more ways to generate and shape MIDI notes and controller data. Scale velocity, generate a rapid-fire series of notes, transpose incoming notes or conform them to a scale, and more.
With robust synthesis options, support for sampled instruments of almost any size, and 16 outputs for flexible mixing and sound processing, the EXS24 Sampler makes it easy to bring sample-based sounds to your production.
Play jaw-dropping models of the Hammond B3 organ, the Hohner Clavinet D6, and the Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, and Hohner electric pianos — with all the character and quirks of the originals. Thanks to an intuitive interface design, your most important controls are always front and center, while the full depth and flexibility of the real-time models are just a click away.
Sculpture is a unique physical modeling instrument that produces tones no other synthesizer can. By re-creating the sound of vibrating materials like wood, glass, nylon, or metal, it generates uncommon and creative variations of strings, bells, chimes, and other instruments. You can change the virtual body of the instrument to everything from guitar to cello, flute, and more. Control how the instrument is plucked, bowed, or otherwise played. And use the X/Y pad to morph between materials. A deep set of modulation parameters produce movement and evolving textures. When you're looking for a completely unexpected sound, Sculpture gives you incredible sound design options.
A powerful set of vintage synths — all with intuitive controls — make it easy to re-create your favorite electronic sounds from the '70s and '80s. Go for analog tones like earthshaking bass, textures, screaming leads, sweeping pads, and sawtooth waves. Or use unique digital sounds like bells, plucky bass, and brash leads.
A versatile synthesizer that delivers sounds ranging from classic analog to modern digital. The synthesis engine features three analog modeled and wavetable oscillators, as well as dual multi-mode analog resonant filters and extensive modulation options.
Re-create legendary sounds and craft your own unique tones by mixing and matching 25 amp heads, 5 EQs, 10 reverbs, 25 speaker cabinets, and 7 mics that you can position freely around the speaker cone. Play through Tweed amps from the '50s and early '60s. Classic American silverface and blackface combos. A full range of British stacks and combos. Ultra-high-gain metal stacks. And even rare amps that would be hard to find in the real world.
Lay down an amazing bass track with dead-on models of three vintage and modern bass amps and cabinets. To get the perfect tone, switch between two types of input channels. Swap out cabinets and amps. Position one of three mics on different speaker cones. Or blend between amp and DI box signals, just like in the studio. You can also use graphic or parametric EQs to fit the bass in your mix. And easily level performance dynamics or sustain with a compressor before or after the EQ.
Get creative with over 35 stompboxes — all meticulously crafted to reproduce the tones and responsiveness of the originals they're modeled after. Experiment with classic delays, echoes, and reverbs. Run your signal through some of the most coveted overdrives and distortions. Try out dynamic pitch transposition or dive bomb effects. Choose from all your favorite choruses, flangers, tremolos, and other must-have modulation boxes. Or turn up the funk with vintage and modern Wahs or an octaver. The Pedalboard interface makes it easy to re-order and swap your pedals and to creatively route your signal for thousands of combinations and virtually unlimited sounds.
Make your songs and other audio productions sound their absolute best with a complete collection of dynamics, EQs, and other production effects. Pristine parametric and phase linear EQs make it easy to fine-tune your audio production. Match EQ lets you duplicate the sound from a favorite track and apply it to another. Use modern or vintage-modeled compression to smooth out a vocal performance. Or use limiters and multi-band compression to create a mix that will jump out of your speakers.
Shift, shape, or completely warp the sound of any track using a wide variety of creative effects. Add texture using realistic reverbs that simulate hundreds of acoustic spaces. Build creative, complex delays or emulations of vintage tape echoes. Introduce harmonic saturation and sparkle with vintage tube modeling. Dial in fuzz and warmth with overdrive. Or capture that retro 8-bit arcade style with bit crushing. Use effects like phaser, chorus, flanger, and ring modulator to add subtle shimmer or glassy overtones. Create warm, pulsating sweeps or icy, morphing shifts using a variety of vintage and modern filter effects. You'll never run out of ways to mutate and twist your sounds.

Interesting Tor catalogue; thanks.
The Weird is landmark, and I must have it of course [didn't know Tor was the publisher], but beyond that things look a little shaky, yeah. I love Scalzi's novels very much, for several reasons, but I find the only thing of his I really reread is still Old Man's War, so Redshirts may be a library book for me. I've never tried David Brin's stuff -- massive oversight I know -- so I'm very, very curious about Existence, but hard sf, and more specifically the kinds of hard sf that PNH and the rest of Tor tend toward publishing, are very hit-or-miss for me, ranging from M.J. Locke's [for me] quite successful Up Against It from earlier this year to hot-button issue sf thrillers which look very exciting at a glance but come a massive damp squib on closer inspection. [Apologies if I'm using the phrase incorrectly; it came the closest to what I meant. I notice there are several of these in this summer catalogue, perhaps even more than usual -- beach reading perhaps?and while their dampness has of course yet to be determined and we must be fair, the potential for high squibitude is certainly there.] Of the new Orson Scott Card co-authored Ender prequel, and the new Goodkind, I shall not speak. J.A. Pitts' Forged in Fire, the third Sarah Beauhall book, is definitely on my watch closely list, but I'm not sure it's quite something I'd buy; based on Black Blade Blues I love what the series is doing, I'm just not sure it's doing it quite well enough for me to buy a hardcover. That sounded jerky.
Being more positive, it's really great to see a good number of the long-delayed Tor sequels getting scheduled at last. I haven't read the books that come before Warren Hammund's Kop Killer [which I know his fans have been awaiting for quite some time], Beth Bernobich's Queen's Hunt, and Anthony Huzo's Black Bottle, but now these sequels are definitely on the way maybe I should make time for a couple. Confirmation that Ian Tregillis' The Coldest War, the second Milkweed Triptych novel, is finally coming, though expected, is cause for much rejoycing, and probably the highlight of the catalogue for me. That I will buy with money.
What's still not there: Keck. Cook. Scholes [this is not done. Scholes has faced and overcome incredible challenges, sounds like.] Sarah Monette's The Goblin Emperor, which based on her blog is also not done. Sounds like it's proving a tough book to finish and there's nothing anyone can do about that. Michael Moorcock's The Whispering Swarm is also absent, so I dunno if it's somehow still supposed to make its April date, or has been delayed further [seems more likely], or what.
And A Memory of Light, of course. I'm personally just peachy with them taking as long as they need to edit this one, even though the draft ms may be handed in imminently. Last novel of The Wheel of Time, must be something special, etc, and Towers of Midnight felt very very rough around the edges to me, if I'm being honest. Plus, getting sentimental, autumn's been new WoT season each time for most of the new releases I've been actively following the series for, and I should like to have the experience of walking down a cold, windy street and thinking of the book coming soon one more time.
Other points of interest ganked from Westeros [where I can no longer post because their forum reskin makes my aged computer explode]:
There will be new Lois McMaster Bujold in the Vorverse next year, quite definitely, it's sounding like. Bujold's posted a chapter number breakdown and word count, so it seems to be done or close. Focuses on Ivan Vorpatril, Miles Vorkosigan's pseudo-supposedly hapless cousin, and the working title is Captain Vorpatril's Alliance. Sounds excellent fun to me. Always nice to see Miles, of course, but maybe a slight change in focus character is what the series needs in order to have something punchy to say and do again.
That new epic fantasy debut that Tor UK is so over the moon about? John Gwynne's So Deep A Malice? Is apparently not coming out in March. Mark Lawrence -- a stalwart of this board, I believe, whose Prince of Thorns I still need to try -- has apparently spoken to the author, and a final release date has not been decided. Perhaps I'm getting dragged onto the hype train again, but I'm looking forward to this one.
Saladin Ahmed's put the first chapter of his debut Throne of the Crescent Moon online. It looks promising, which does not surprise me at all.
It sounds like Margo Lanagan's ya selkie novel will be Sea Hearts in the land down-under, and The Brides of Rollrock Island abroad. Release schedule is still not entirely clear to me, but it seems that NA, at least, has to wait some months after the book comes out in the Antipodes, and possibly the UK does as well, though I'm less sure about that. This is one of my personal most eagerly anticipated books of 2012 and I am counting the days.

Uk version comes out in a few months already, February. I'm not sure it's something for me, looks a bit too feminine for my tastes, though I am intrigued by the mythology.
Re: Jordan
TOR are supposed to announce soon that the book will be published in November 2012. This has seemed clear for a while now.
Re: Scholes
From that update on his blog you'd think that a late 2010 release might be possible. Personally I am also very keen on seeing the second half of Felix Gilman's Half-Made world, but there's been no word from him since the first book was released, at all.
Other notes?
Bakker: Said yesterday again that Unholy Consult will be a large closing volume, that he's still at work, and that it is "months away from submission". This means the July release date isn't going to happen I expect, but late 2012 could still work.
Steven Erikson's is forging ahead at great pace though, with "Forge of Darkness", first book in his new trilogy, coming out in August.
Two books that I will soon be getting that count as late 2011/early 2012 releases are The Emperor's Knife by Mazarkis Williams and Seven Princes by John Fultz. Both look very interesting from what I've read.
Peter Brett's next book doesn't seem to be coming out until 2013. I've seen no word from Rothfuss about him being hard at work on the 3rd Kingkiller book, so I think we can safely say that that one is many years away from release.
Robin Hobb's next book is due in February in the US, and the 4th and final book has now been confirmed for Spring 2013, even though they've already been written and the 4th book is coming out in Holland next month. Also, given the size of these books I don't agree that there was a reason for splitting them, if the 4 books had been published as the two books they were intended as, they would still have been smaller books than say Wise Man's Fear, Way of Kings, Dance with Dragons, or Steven Erikson's individual entries. Massive cash grabbing is my conclusion.
Finally, a book expected to do well next year and which many here might like is "Snow Child" by debut author Eowyn Ivey. It's not published by a genre publisher, getting a lot of advance hype. Looks good to me.

Thanks for the clarification on Lanagan. Think what happened was amazon UK put up two listings and I wasn't sure which one would stick [and didn't check, evidently]. There was one for February, and one for September, which I believe is now the NA date.
Oh, I would have been very surprised if A Memory of Light had come out any time but November -- and would have been from the beginning of the process. I just figured it was best not to treat it as a sure thing.
Yeah, Scholes sounds like he's very active on Requiem again, so at an uneducated guess it sounds as if next autumn's doable for that one, which is great. Third of Jay Lake's Green novels next year, as well. Shame about Gilman's book remaining absent; hope all goes well with it.
Thanks for the Bakker update; I hadn't seen that. Doesn't the editorial/production process for those take some months? I'd be very surprised if we saw this in 2012; I don't quite know what Orbit was on. Guess the very end of the year's doable though, as you say.
The Hobb thing is certainly frustrating, yeah. I'd suggest it might be a case of the relative popularity of Hobb's books -- considerable, but not best-selling like Martin or Rothfuss -- being insufficient to justify the printing of a larger volume, but that doesn't account for Erikson, whose books have only recently become popular enough to justify their shelf-breaking size according to that logic. So yeah, possibly a bit of cash-grabbing going on there, but oh well, it's not too blatant and everybody's gotta eat. Hobb certainly deserves it, and the publisher's gotta make money in these troubled times -- Hobb's Eos's biggest author isn't she, except for possibly Feist?
Given Rothfuss's work ethic -- he's big on perfection, for which I am grateful -- and the other things he seems to have going on right now, I fully expect to be waiting for Day 3 of Kingkiller for some years. He can race Martin again! Lynch can join in!
Ivy book looks interesting, potentially very much to my taste if it rolls out the right way and the child isn't just a metaphor for love enduring in forbidding places or whatever. Thanks!
Oh, and one final bit of news, quite important [though most probably know]: The new Carlos Ruiz Zafon novel, El Prisionero del Cielo, is imminent in Spain [this coming week, I believe.] So, if we're very very lucky, we might just maybe see the translation late next year -- probably "The Prisoner of Heaven", according to the internets. Big, big deal.
November 12th, 2011, 05:30 PM #38
Agreed on the Snow Child book, that would be my fear as well. Best if it's substantial and real.
I've still got to read a Zafon book.
Re; Hobb. It's not something that upsets a huge deal, it's just that they are making it a very, very long wait for English language readers, and that they are cutting a book in two that doesn't need to be, and doing it twice even, it's all bad form if you ask me. It's clear cash grabbing and while it's understandable, you're not being particularly generous to your fans by making them wait so long and telling them to fork out twice as much for a book.

The Fall 2011/Winter 2012 Catalog from Orbit has a number of 2012 releases. Note that many times the covers in this are not "finalized" for instance the Riyria Revelations covers and I believe the Seven Princes is different in their released versions. But if you are just looking for titles there are quite a few in here:
HEIR OF NOVRON: VOLUME 3 IN THE RIYRIA REVELATIONS SERIES by MICHAEL J. SULLIVAN
THE OUTCAST BLADE: ACT TWO OF THE ASSASSINI by JON COURTENAY GRIMWOOD
SEVEN PRINCES: BOOKS OF THE SHAPER BOOK 1 by JOHN R. FULTZ
SILVER-TONGUED DEVIL: SABINA KANE BOOK 4 by JAYE WELLS
WIZARD UNDERCOVER: ROGUE AGENT BOOK 4 by K.E. MILLS
2312 by KIM STANLEY ROBINSON
CHASING THE MOON by A. LEE MARTINEZ
THE DREAD: THE FALLEN KINGS CYCLE BOOK 2 by GAIL Z. MARTIN
THE FOURTH WALL by WALTER JON WILLIAMS
THE LEGEND OF ELI MONPRESS: PART I by RACHEL AARON
THE TROUPE by ROBERT JACKSON BENNETT
EMPEROR MOLLUSK VS.THE SINISTER BRAIN by A. LEE MARTINEZ
TIMELESS: THE PARASOL PROTECTORATE BOOK THE FIFTH by GAIL CARRIGER
THE DEALER OF DREAMS: MATTHEW SWIFT BOOK 4 by KATE GRIFFIN
EXOGENE 35: THE SUBTERRENE WAR BOOK 2 by T.C. MCCARTHY

The fine folks at Orbit sent me a copy of Seven Princes so I'll likely be reading that one in the next couple of months.
I'm also looking forward to that Eli Monpress omnibus. I loves me those omnibii.
November 15th, 2011, 01:24 PM #42
Seems - to me, personally - a largely disappointing show from Orbit there, no offence to yourself Mr Sullivan.
Looks like sequels, sequels, paranormal romance, sequels, poor covers (what on Earth possessed them to give Gail Carriger's last two books the most vile covers ever created?) and all that.
I'll be interested to see the release thingy for Spring/Summer, though.
November 15th, 2011, 01:39 PM #43
The catalogue can be found here:
Of interest (and likely mentioned, maybe even by me) earlier in the thread:
The King's Blood by Daniel Abraham
November 15th, 2011, 01:49 PM #44
Can't remember if I mentioned it, but I'm looking forward to Thief's Covenant by Ari Marmell, the first YA title to be published by Pyr next year. Got my copy on order and paid for.
November 15th, 2011, 02:04 PM #45
Having read 2 of Mr. Marmell's books, and thoroughly enjoying both, I'm looking forward to this one myself. He's got a terrific sense of humor.

Four days on, I'm afraid IPL 2.0 has yet to really catch fire. Many individuals have staked early claims to the dubious distinction of being this year's biggest damp squib. But they'll have to wait their turn, because there are even bigger disappointments in the shape of…
Weather Woes
The biggest damp squib thus far has been, literally, the damp weather. Far too many matches have been hit by rain and decided by Duckworth-Lewis. Twenty overs per team isn't all that much to begin with. When teams can win after batting barely five overs, it becomes a bit of a travesty. Not to forget the Mumbai Indians-Rajasthan Royals washout. One of the reasons South Africa was apparently preferred to England as the venue was that the rain in England would affect too many matches. Well, South Africa hasn't been having too much luck on the weather front. One unfortunate side-effect: viewers have had to spend hours gazing morosely at the pitch and Mandira Bedi — both fully covered up.
Misfiring Young Guns
One of the greatest joys of last year's IPL was discovering hitherto unheard of young talent. Swapnil Asnodkar, Manpreet Singh Gony, Ashok Dinda, Ravindra Jadeja and Dhawal Kulkarni were just some of the youngsters who went from complete obscurity to instant stardom.
Cinderella stories have, alas, been few and far between this year. Veterans have dominated, and even the few youngsters who have done well are mostly guys who already have international experience. Are foreign conditions proving too daunting for our homegrown talent?
One-Sided Matches
Unlike last year, when many matches went right down to the wire, this year's IPL has so far seen way too many games where the winner was obvious by the 10th over of the second innings — provided the match went on that long. I'm all for an even contest between bat and ball, and I think low-scoring thrillers can provide just as much drama as huge run chases. But strangely, there have been no even contests, just one thumping after another, which can get pretty boring after a while.
Silly Strategy
The 'strategy break' has been derided by cricketers and viewers alike for breaking the game's momentum. But even if the idea is to squeeze in some more ads, I can't understand why any advertiser would want to be associated with it. Whenever I've been watching a match in office with colleagues and the strategy break has started, there's been a collective rush for smoking/loo breaks. When I've been watching matches at home and it has come on, I've happily switched channels, secure in the knowledge that I won't be missing any action for at least 5 minutes. Assuming that there are many more people behaving in the same way, why would anyone want to book an ad in a slot where it's almost guaranteed that no one will watch it?
Bright Spot
I don't like to be completely negative about anything, so let me sign off with a mention of the brightest spot so far. And that would have to be… the dog who held up play on Day 1. As perceptive observers have pointed out, the playful pooch spent more time out on the field than most batsmen have managed. His footwork was superb, his — well, dogged — refusal to succumb to blandishments heartwarming. And for sheer entertainment value,he left the highly overpaid IPL superstars way behind. Take a bow, Mr Bow-Wow! And here's hoping that everything I've written will become redundant today. Apart from, of course, the strategy break, which is regrettably here to stay for the full season.

Now that the snow has melted, wildlife babies will start springing up.
Nobody is happier about the end of the long winter than our campus wildlife. Our 750 acres and nearby Thorn Creek Woods Nature Preserve are getting ready to welcome some brand new babies – white tail deer, coyotes, painted and snapping turtles, Canada geese and dozens of other species are all getting ready to give birth or hatch.What are you most likely to see on campus? Chorus frogs are common in wetlands on campus this time of year. These small frogs are hard to see, but easy to hear. When temperatures reach the 40s, and you are leaving campus in the evening, listen for the sounds of someone running their fingers down a comb. What you hear is the male frogs trying to attract females.New fawns arrive sometime around late April. The GSU Preserve and adjacent Thorn Creek Preserve are home to as many as 400 deer and they are often seen in the open areas along the driveways into campus. However, the fawns and their mothers will keep to the underbrush."Canada Geese will hatch about four weeks after the last egg is laid. I've seen them constructing nests, and noticed the first egg this morning. So we're looking at least one month before the goslings appear," says biology professor John Yunger. He added that it's not clear whether coyotes are breeding on campus, if you see one, it's a good idea to keep your distance, but there's nothing to be afraid of. "People don't need to worry about coyotes being dangerous," he said. "They're more likely to go after much smaller prey."What should you do when you see wildlife – especially the young families?The best advice is to admire them from afar. Animal parents are like human parents – they're very protective.There is one exception: if you see a turtle that seems stuck on the road, it probably is. "They crawl over the curb, then can't get back up, " says Yunger. If you see one – particularly a snapping turtle – call GSU Facilities at Ext: 4515 or 708.534.4515. They'll send help.

An act of kindness goes a long way
Just wanted to send a thank you to this lady!
Dec 24, 2013
(Michael Viles) To the anonymous lady at WinCo in McMinnville today:
I want to give you a sincere thank you for handing that money to the cashier on lane 5. What you did today will always be remembered.
I was filling WIC with my wife and son, and trying to figure out what to do for lunch, since I had no money left after paying all my bills. The cashier then handed me a handful of cash, and said, "That lady said Merry Christmas to you and your family!"
I literally felt so happy, and filled with emotions, that my eyes started watering. I was able to get an oil change on my car that was overdue, feed my wife and son lunch, and put the rest aside for more food later this week. The world needs more people like you!! Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

White House: Still committed to assault weapons ban
POSTED: Friday, January 11, 2013 - 12:00pm
UPDATED: Friday, January 11, 2013 - 12:04pm
CNN — President Barack Obama will seek passage of an assault weapons ban as part of a larger push for new gun control laws, an administration official said Friday.
Vice President Joe Biden left out the idea of such a ban when he laid out a series of potential proposals under consideration by his gun task force Thursday. Instead, he focused on a new universal background check system for gun buyers and restrictions on high capacity magazines.
The omission fueled speculation in news reports that the White House had dropped consideration of a potential assault weapons ban.
"Those reports are false," White House spokesman Matt Lehrich said. "The President has been clear that Congress should reinstate the assault weapons ban and that avoiding this issue just because it's been politically difficult in the past is not an option."
The vice president has spent the last week meeting with what the White House calls "stakeholders" in the gun control debate. In a series of face to face discussions Thursday, Biden sat down with the National Rifle Association and other gun owners groups before conferring with representatives from the film and television industry.
Administration officials note Biden's comments on Thursday were aimed at "consensus" proposals coming out of the task force meetings. An assault weapons ban would not fit that category.
In a sign the White House is prepared to move aggressively on its proposals, Biden made his public comments just before meeting with the NRA. The gun lobby expressed disappointment in its discussion with the vice president and later released a statement that accused the administration of mounting "an agenda to attack the Second Amendment."
Organizations seeking tougher gun control laws insist an assault weapons ban is critical to addressing the nation's recent rash of mass shootings. However, such a ban could be difficult in a Congress mired in gridlock.
A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said it would be premature to comment on the vice president's remarks. The Biden task force is expected to deliver its recommendations to the president on Tuesday.
"Once the President makes some recommendations, we'll take a look at them," Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said.

White Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Dip
After enjoying the edamame dip last week I was in the mood for more dip and I was thinking that this time I would try a white bean dip. White bean dips are generally pretty simple with very few ingredients and they form a great base or platform that you can build on by adding flavour. I had an extra red pepper in the fridge and I thought that a roasted red pepper white bean dip would be a great idea. Roasting red peppers concentrates their flavour and they become a really nice savoury kind of sweet that would go well in a bean dip. This bean dip was as easy to make as pureeing every thing in the food processor and it turned out great! It was so nice and creamy and full of the roasted red pepper flavour! It is sometimes hard to believe that something so simple, with so few ingredients can be so good! I enjoyed the roasted red pepper white bean dip with some whole pitas but you could also easily use it as a spread or a condiment. I bet it would go great in a sandwich.
White Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Dip(makes 2 snack sized servings)
Printable Recipe
1/2 19 ounce can white beans
1 roasted red pepper
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 lemon (zest and juice)
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1. Puree everything in a food processor until smooth adding water (or more olive oil) to bring it to the consistency that you desire.

The future, probably Japan.
Robots have long been put into practical use, and androids have just come into use.
Influenced by the Robot Ethics Committee, it's become common sense for people to treat androids like household appliances. Their appearance - indistinguishable from humans except for the ring over each android's head – has lead some people to empathize unnecessarily with androids. Known as "android-holics," such people have become a social problem.
Rikuo (Jun Fukuyama), a high school student, has been taught from childhood that androids are not to be viewed as humans, and has always used them as convenient tools. One day Rikuo discovers some strange data in the behavior records of his family's household android.
Rikuo and his friend Masaki (Kenji Nojima) trace Sammy's (Rie Tanaka) movements, only to discover a mysterious caf

well I really would have liked to hear specific examples from him as to what he doesn't like in KDE and what he likes about Mac/Windows.
It's a shame he's leaving. He did a great job with dolphin, probably my fav file manager, though I use nautilus right now - which is also great - cos I love gnome 3 and its.. err.. default.
well I really would have liked to hear specific examples from him as to what he doesn't like in KDE and what he likes about Mac/Windows.
However the problem is the people (leaving Windows and) trying Linux expect a perfectly stable, fast and bug-free system, and Linux is not such a system. People don't want to tinker with Linux, they do it all the time with Windows because Windows likes to break for almost no reasons.
You are obviously wrong about regressions in the Linux kernel, maybe because you haven't filed a single bug report against the kernel, and on my part I read LKML and keep a close eye on the kernel's bugzilla.
A good gtk program replacement for Akregator is Liferea. Or is in Akregator anything considerable better than in Liferea? I don't think so.
My favorite E-Mail client is Evolution.
The basis of free software is that you are free from the shackles of proprietary software, and can do (almost-) anything you want.
So in your view, if a person just wants to USE his computer, he shouldn't use KDE. Maybe KDE should come with a license agreeement "By running this software, you will have to shut the fuck up about issues, or you HAVE to contribute. Otherwise, get back to windows, lemming".
I haven't contributed to KDE a lot, but people out there, feel free to ignore ASDX and FUCKING COMPLAIN about code I've written. And let it be known that I don't consider *MY* code to be *HIS* software.
With that said, even with all the bugs that every operating system has I still find it amazing that the bloody things even work at all, considering the astronomic amount of code that goes into them and the inherent possibility for something going wrong since it was all done by humans that make mistakes.
KDE works quite nicely if you tweak it here and there (for instance use one database for amarok,digikam,akonadi), tune amarok to have a greater buffer, disable nepomuk, (for my machine: tune malloc). I wonder if there's a Tipps&Tricks Page to avoid the rougher edges... i definately don't like the defaults.
He(she?) is pretty much just fanatical and a bit of a FOSS zealot. ...He's said a bunch of ridiculous crap in a few threads over the last while. Everything from him thinking the linux kernel should be forked, to writing 'fuck you, nvidia' over and over again ~ as if we didn't get the point the 1st time he wrote it.
he's also wrong to think that because he uses software, that it qualifies as being 'his', or his because he is apart of a community. I've made minor contributions to a few projects, but i don't consider that software to be mine, specifically. it's just software that i use, and when an opportunity presents itself - help improve.... I generally consider a project to be someone's when they lead a project and are the chief architect / designer of the software...
I don't know where adsx gets off thinking that as an end-user he has some ownership over a free software project. (?!)
it's kinda funny that he thinks he does though
2) So, according to you, FOSS is only for programmers? Or at least people who know how to test the software they use? The rest has to go for Windows or OS X? If you say so...

text: Where are good places to find photos for your blog? August 17, 2010 [gallery columns="2" orderby="rand"] "Where can I find images or clip-art I can use on my blog?" We hear that question a lot on Twitter, Facebook and Myspace, so we wanted to add some helpful information and tips about it to our design and photography blog. Most bloggers or authors begin their photo search on Google Image Search by typing in a few keywords to locate images they want to use on their blog. While you will find some creative images, most image searchers find the quality to be not great and in some cases the photos can be copyrighted. Some risk-takers will use them nonetheless, thinking they can get away with using poor quality or copyrighted content. In addition, there are a number of photo sites and photo search engines that will help you find royalty-free images that include Flickr, Wikipedia and a few others. The quality might not always be great but the sources can be useful when looking for something specific. Another good place to search for images for your blog are royalty free sites that charge you a few bucks for the rights to use that image for as long as you want like Cutcaster. You pay a dollar or two and can use the image legally in perpetuity which is a fancy word meaning forever. You are probably asking yourself why you would pay a couple of dollars or microstock prices to use an image for my blog. "There are free photo resources out there, why should I pay?" But take a look at the quality and diversity of Cutcaster's image library and then you will understand why the images there will help get your point across. For blogs, the inexpensive images can be used for a few bucks if you download the small to medium sizes. That size will be the perfect size that you will need for your blog post. Bloggers that include images as a part of their blog post engage with their viewers better, get more comments on their blogs and get better search engine rankings if you use the embedded image metadata, which comes with every file you download from Cutcaster, to describe your images. This helps search engines find your posts via text within the post and the text you use to describe your images. It is a double win. Your readers get a visually appealing blog to enjoy and the search engines have another way to describe and find your blog because you have included metadata to describe your photos. If spending a few dollars is not what you want to do, then Cutcaster does offers free images and free illustrations for bloggers and any other photo buyers. You will find suitable photos there. You can download 10 free images a day or 300 images a month with a free subscription. For further information on using images on your blog and what the differences are between free and royalty free images are visit Stock Photo License. This is the first in a series of three articles on how to find good, cheap photos for your blog or website.

Phoronix: GNU/Hurd Plans For A Future With USB, SATA, 64-Bit
While GNU/Hurd isn't on par yet with GNU/Linux in terms of kernel functionality and hardware support, the developers do have plans for the future and a surprising number of user-space packages are now building on a GNU/Hurd platform...
On Topic though, I must say for microkernel systems I'm far more interested in seeing how GENODE, HelenOS, and MINIX3 are going to develop here than HURD honestly. Particularly with Hurd still relying upon a gen 1 microkernel (i.e. Mach), and the others are using Gen 2 designs which are a vast improvement.
Richard Stallman did not *abandon* the Hurd, as he was never involved into active development in the first place. He is the founder of the GNU operating-system, but that does not mean he is involved in every sub-project.
Talking about the Hurd, it seems like most people don't even know the benefits of using a microkernel. Moreover, features like translators literally kick Linux's ass. You don't need FUSE or other tools to access remote filesystems, you just "cd" to them.
Not to forget the fact that Hurd is free software unlike the Linux-Kernel, which is full of BLOBS.
I have no idea why active development on Hurd would hold back free-software-development (not open-source-software, which is another deal). The opposite will be the case: It will turn the GNU-operating-system more flexible, supporting a multitude of Kernels (Hurd, Linux, FreeBSD) and not including hacks just for one of them.
Please, just RTFM and get your facts straight, because I have the impression to have just put in words what has already been written cleanly in many manuals.
Best Regards
Oh, and maintaining several versions of the same drivers (for Linux, *BSD, and Hurd/other micro kernels) doesn't make sense unless there's really an excess of people wanting to work on them, which I seriously doubt, which means some common interfaces for code sharing are needed to make driver sharing and thus choose-your-own-kernel feasible, which means more work and pain and overhead, which is why we don't see anything like driver equality across free software kernels, so if you're planning on doing some work on kernel drivers and your plans include making GNU/free OSs better, you should seriously consider which kernel project to spend time on.
Put another way, redesiging lots of wheels to work on your railtracks is not very useful unless your railtracks are widely used and similarly making adapters to use existing wheels on your tracks is often a lot of work, so choose your railtracks carefully.
Edit: yes, MINIX does sound interesting, though considering what I know about it is restricted to about five minutes reading a website I'm not going to say more than that.

What wondered me the most is that obviously BLOB-dependent drivers like the BCM-TG3-Ethernet-driver still work in a deblobbed state (Luckily, my Ethernet-adapter has NVRAM), so everyone should attempt to get the most out of it.
For me personally not providing support is still a better alternative than having to rely on those binary-drivers; It's actually rather sad to see binary-arrays in the sources, not be able to understand or modify them to a certain degree.
With Linux turning more and more popular, it could definitely use its power someday to force the manufacturers into releasing free drivers (we shouldn't do this too early or else we would risk patch-forks).
It definitely is an interesting topic.
