Just stopping to say "hi" to my SH friends
It has been awhile since I posted here, but check in from time to time to check on all of you.
My "new much smaller house" has been underway by my wonderful Amish crew for just 9 days and floor trusses in, sub-flooring down, side walls up, roof trusses up, sheathing done, house wrapped, tar paper on roof. And tomorrow, they will start doing the shingles! The windows were delivered today, so it is really taking shape...WOOHOO!
My contractors were delayed two months getting started, due to so much more rock etc. with their past build...but they are here now and the weather gods are cooperating, so it is full speed ahead.
just late yesterday I was wondering about you and thought about posting an APB for you on here! That would have been the same day as your post - guess I was off the forum before you hit submit.
so glad to hear things are moving along. DO post pics as it is now - and update often!
how'd the appliance part end up?
I hate to admit how tech challenged I am...I have tried to figure out how to post pics, but hope to get one of my kids ...or grandkids...to post something soon. The shingles are up...going to start putting in windows tomorrow. This afternoon, I met with electrician and I tried to figure out where I want plug-ins and lights. Tomorrow I am meeting to finalize cabinets....pearl painted...brown, black, cream, gray "granite look" Formica...ORB pulls and faucet, almond sink (I think). And I "bent" and am using SS appliances....hope I am not sorry, but it is only me, so DD convienced me to do so. I still hope to use gunstock stained hickory floors..but the one I selected was discontinued. Guess that pretty well covers my kitchen.
My house is going to be pretty modest. I had thought of adding stone to the front, but decided it was not worth several thousand more to do it...so siding will be pewter green....and I hope it looks good and not be too green because it is hard to tell from a swatch. Shingles are driftwood..and I like those. Trim will be cream-white....casement windows..lots of them facing the lake!
Thanks for everyone's good wishes....and I hope each of you is in the holiday mood as we rapidly approach the Christmas season :-)
Look for this under POST A FOLLOWUP---"Image file to upload (optional): "
Save your photo to your desktop. Click "CHOOSE FILE" find your photo on desktop and it will be inserted.
It will show up when you "preview" your message but if you then make changes to your message you will need to insert it again.
This is a new feature and so much easier than flkr as you can load directly from your desktop. You cannot load multiple photos though.
Phoggie, you can get a Flickr account for free and upload multiple photos in every post you make.
However, you can also post ONE PHOTO PER POST ENTRY via that little line at the top of each "Post a Follow-Up" line when you begin typing a new post.
It is "Image file to upload (optional):" and it has a blank box and then a BROWSE button at the end. Test it out. That way, you can "browse" the pictures on your computer and then click to open or add your photo choice. Nice thing about this is, it never leaves your post on the forum. With other places such as Photobucket or Flickr, if you MOVE the photo from its album location or close your account, the picture disappears from the post on GWeb. Bummer. So in exchange for only posting ONE picture per posted entry, you do get PERMANENCE. And I shall be happy to demonstrate for you what I mean.
Here is a picture I took back in 2004 of a structure I built over a stove in a rental. I could not put any nails or screws into the fragile plaster, so I worked around it and secured the supporting 2x2s to the woodwork. That was in 2004, and the owners still have it in place...they love it.
I may change my mind from Formica to granite. I was going to use premium Formica and I talked to a local granite man and he said he could do granite for about $1000 more. I think that perhaps it would make my house easier to sell when I am through with the house and need to sell it. What are your thoughts?
Phoggie, given what I hear on the HGTV HOUSE HUNTERS show, the first thing the prospective buyers say when they hit the kitchen is, "I'll have to deduct from the asking price to replace these countertops." Maybe granite will go out one day, but I think the use of an easy-to-live-with pattern in it is the secret to longevity.
Now that said, we do not have granite in the house up in MA that will SOON (so DH tells me) be ready to call the realtor. Instead, he chose a Silestone pattern, STELLAR SNOW. It is sort of white and gray with sparkly flakes in it, and honestly, you have to touch it to find anything needs wiping up, be it water or crumbs from the toaster. And it has never stained regardless of how many pomegranates I cut on it, or how many blueberries. Plus, it is naturally antibacterial. It also is durable and comes in a variety of grades and thicknesses and colors/patterns. I liked it so well that is the same pattern and material I plan to put into this kitchen on the sink side. On the range side, which is a stainless steel stove, I plan on stainless counter tops on that side with maybe a stainless backsplash too. You'll have to take a look at the way I plan to set it up sort of a cooking alcove with the end towards the dining room having a 4' long higher bar and that counter will also have the Silestone STELLAR SNOW on it. Don't want to hijack your thread, so come back again and look for a new kitchen thread pretty soon. :) Yes, it is a BRIBE.
"a local granite man and he said he could do granite for about $1000 more"
go SEE in person what he will sell and install for that price.
If you don't like it then it won't be worth it at all. Do this house for YOU! I have to say that most all of the granite's I see on those shows (and many on kitchens here) I wouldn't want in my kitchen. It is easier to change from a laminate CT to granite. Ripping out granite to change would be more work and expense for a future owner of the house.
ML - looking forward to seeing your kitchen LO! post it soon.

An affordable motel about a 15 minute walk to the heart of the strip. Beware that jets fly nearly non-stop almost overhead. The last jet we heard was about 11:30pm and we didn't hear another until about 8:45am. This was (so we heard) a converted apartment building. Definitely not a luxury hotel but the prices reflect that. We turned the heat on and it smelled so bad we turned it back off right away. Maybe hadn't been used in a while. Air conditioner blows across one of the beds which also was annoying. if you just need a place to crash within walking distance of the strip this is okay.

Google Engineer Reworks Direct I/O In Linux Kernel
Published on 14 February 2013 01:06 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
Linux Kernel
9 Comments
A Google engineer working on Linux, Kent Overstreet, has reworked the Linux DIO (Direct I/O) code so that it's "vastly simpler" while also being faster for at least some test cases.
On Monday was the original "work in progress" patch to improve the DIO code in the Linux kernel. As Overstreet
then, "The end result is _vastly_ simpler - direct-io.c is now ~700 lines, vs. ~1300 previously. dio_submit is almost gone, I'm down to 4 things left in it. It relies heavily on my block layer patches for efficient bio splitting, and making generic_make_request() take arbitrary size bios...It also gets rid of the various differences between async and sync requests - previously, for async reads it marked pages dirty before submitting the io (in process context), then on completion punts to worqueue to redirty the pages if any need to be. This now happens for sync reads, too."
Not only does it yield a net reduction in the number of lines of code for the Linux DIO code, but it's also yielding performance improvements with the most recent patch.
The Google engineer
on Wednesday, "Got it working and ran some benchmarks. On a high end SSD, doing 4k random reads with fio I got around a 30% increase in throughput...the decrease in compiled binary size is even more dramatic than the reduction in [lines of code]...It's only been lightly tested - I haven't run xfstests yet - but there shouldn't be anything broken excluding btrfs. There's a few more performance optimizations I may do, but aside from the btrfs issues I think it's essentially done. Due to the sheer number of hairy corner cases in the dio code, I'd really like to get as much review as possible. The new code should be vastly easier to review and understand, I think."
This Linux I/O improvement that's leaner yet higher-performing sounds exciting but hasn't been reviewed extensively yet by Linux kernel developers. If everything pans out, hopefully this work will be merged into a future Linux kernel release in the near-term.

The warmer nights of spring bring a panoply of new stars and constellations. Leo is in good view by nightfall, climbing straight up from the eastern horizon, led by his bright "heart," Regulus. Virgo follows a couple of hours later; the maiden's brightest star, Spica, looks like a near twin to Regulus. The planet Venus continues its climb into the western sky as the Evening Star, while Mars, which is near Venus as the month begins, drops ever lower into the twilight.
This Week's Stargazing Tips
March 26: Crater
The constellation Crater, the cup, is visible this month in the southeastern evening sky. Its stars are faint, so you need very dark skies to find it. To ancient European cultures, Crater represented the birthplace of storms.
March 27: First-Quarter Moon
The Moon is at first quarter today. The label is a bit misleading because sunlight illuminates half of the hemisphere that faces our way. "First quarter" indicates that the Moon is one-quarter of the way through its cycle of phases.
March 28: Moon in the Middle
The gibbous Moon passes through the middle of a triangle of bright objects tonight: the planet Jupiter, the star Procyon, and the "twins" of Gemini. The brightest point of the triangle is Jupiter, which is to the left of the Moon as night falls.
March 29: Moon and Jupiter
Jupiter huddles close to the Moon tonight. The planet looks like a brilliant cream-colored star close to the upper left of the Moon at nightfall.
March 30: Moon and Regulus
Regulus, the brightest star of Leo, the lion, stands to the lower left of the Moon at nightfall. Regulus actually consists of two pairs of stars. Only one member of the quartet is bright enough to see with the unaided eye, however.
March 31: Denebola
The Moon cruises past the heart of the lion tonight. Regulus, the brightest star of Leo, stands above the Moon in early evening. The lion's body trails to the lower left of Regulus. It ends at the star Denebola, at the tip of the lion's tail.
April 1: Cor Caroli
Cor Caroli, the brightest star in Canes Venatici, is in the east as darkness falls, not far from the Big Dipper. The star's name means "the heart of Charles." Edmund Halley, the British astronomer royal, named it in honor of King Charles II.

OPINION: Environment Southland did not prosecute Euan Shearing Contracting in good faith.
That was the stark substance of Judge Jeff Smith's decision to order the regional council to pay costs incurred by the company defending the case to the point that it was finally withdrawn.
The significance of the judge's ruling goes far beyond the $5000 figure or that it was a rare step to award it. Or even that he found evidence from council officer Chris McMillan was "incorrect" when it conflicted with what others said had happened.
Certainly, that is concerning. The circumstances of the prosecution have pretty much scandalised the public. It emerged in court that Mr McMillan had changed part of a form filled out by police officer Anthony Vincent. An audit of the council's compliance processes, subsequently commissioned by the council itself, is being keenly awaited.
But on top of all that, the judge's ruling raises weighty questions about the legality of penalties already imposed on, and paid by, other stock truck operators pulled over during that Gypsy Day operation last winter.
The judge believed the council and police were acting with an ulterior motive.
Though the Transport Act deliberately excludes effluent discharge as an offence, the prosecution was undertaken as a chance to test in court as a matter of principle whether it could instead constitute an offence under the Resource Management Act.
In other words, the council chose to haul someone off the road for a straight-out prosecution in preference to seeking a law change, or even a declaration, to clarify the issue.
This the judge called a "novel" attempt. In other contexts that word might have been used with a trace of admiration. Not so here. The judge meant it was new and untested. And so it remains, because the abandonment of the Shearing prosecution means it has not yet been argued.
The implications of a successful road traffic prosecution under the RMA would have been extremely widespread, not only within the trucking industry but for all forms of transport in New Zealand. What if you drove over some cow poo and, in turn, dispersed it further? The judge didn't go that far, of course, but he did see the prospect of an RMA-based prosecution having, by extension, universal application. "Consider discharges to air and the principle may apply to every vehicle."
The fact remains that other truckies pinged in the council-police sting have not gone to court; they have paid up. They now have the option of court action. Whether this is financially worthwhile is a matter for them, though it's a fair bet at least some of them won't be thinking solely in terms of money. Outrage might kick in too. Nobody likes to feel they were illegitimately fined.
As for the purported characteristics of this police-council teamwork it is difficult to see how the council could possibly think that anybody would take at face value its description of the joint approach applied to form-filling. Mr McMillan crossed out what the constable had written and replaced it with his own, conflicting, information. Then he didn't bother telling anybody. Not really a joint exercise, then.
The photographic evidence produced against Euan Shearing was also, shall we say, unhelpful to the prosecution. Mr McMillan told the court the photos were taken at 2.07pm. Trouble was, the vehicle was said to have been stopped at 2.09pm. Not a lot in that prosecution seems to have stacked up.

Grafting chestnut to hickory
I'm hoping someone like Dan will offer his wisdom. Here's the question; how likely would I be able to graft a hickory or chinquapin to an American chestnut?
I think both of these trees are related to the AC.
Hickory and chestnut are not closely related enough to have any chance of graft compatibility. You can graft pecan & hickory to one another, but not to walnut, which is much more closely related to the hickories than chestnut. Chestnut is more closely related oaks(they're both members of the Fagaceae) than to the hickories and walnuts(Juglandaceae)
I've only done a few chestnut grafts - Dunstan varieties onto seedlings of the same selection - but my understanding is that there are problems with graft compatibility unless the scion and rootstock are pretty closely related. Don't know if you'd get a long-lived chinquapin graft on American or Asian chestnut rootstock.
Thanks, lucky_p. I was looking for ways to preserve American Chestnuts trees. I was thinking that grafting something onto dentata roots might help keep the roots alive and allow shoots to grow. Sounds like the best bet is one of those hybrids.
how likely would I be able to graft a hickory or chinquapin to an American chestnut?
If you are successful, you could write it up and do a book tour for quite some time! I'm sure many folks would like this to be successful and likely tried it early on.
Hickory is very hard to graft first of all, but the trees you mention are not compatible with chestnut.
Most of the research in bringing back the American chestnut is in how to kill the fungus, backcrossing, and propagating some in China (where the blight came from and where the trees developed resistance). AIUI and IIRC the folks are getting pretty close to solving this problem and I do know some preliminary planting trials are going on. But the canopy is generally closed, and the issue of how to reintroduce this plant will need to be solved - much bigger than finding resistance to the blight...
Good question!
Thanks, Dan. Sounds like I'll have to stick to grafting chestnuts to chestnuts.
I have requested some nuts from the ACCF. I'll be growing blight trees here in Idaho, away from the blight. With luck, I can make some cuttings, and then take a vacation to see my sister and brother in Connecticut and New Jersey to graft them onto chestnut stumps.
I've been to at least two old groves in Connecticut where there are stumps that could use the help, and I know of a tree in Greenwich.

Interesting...has anybody tried this? I'd be interested in seeing how the perry would turn out as I don't really have access to a press and pears. It's kind of expensive per gallon ($9.50), but it might be interesting to try.
I was wondering how long it would be before someone actually made a liquid extract for cider making.Mr.Beer Hard Cider Brew Kit - $59.99Mr.Beer Hard Cider Apple Refill Kit - $18.99Mr.Beer Hard Cider Pear Refill Kit - $18.99
I have not tried it but I would imagine that it has what I would call a cooked apples taste. It seems like anytime I hear about someone trying to reduce the volume level of their cider through cooking or boiling they come out with the cooked apples taste. It works for some people but it is not the way I would want to go about making my cider's. Not a bad way to break in to the cider making though. Tis the season for Christmas gifts!

Favorable matchups for WRs
Why Dez Bryant and others could have big fantasy seasons
When it comes to the formula for football success, South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier often quotes an adage passed down to him by Pepper Rodgers, who said coaches are only as good as their players and their schedule.
The same rule applies in fantasy football. It's great to stock a team with quality players, but it is better to stock a team with quality players who have schedules that bode well for their success.
This is especially true at the wide receiver position, as the one-on-one nature of wideout-cornerback matchups can make the difference between a game-winning-caliber performance and one that will bring about a depressing loss.
So which fantasy wide receivers have the most favorable schedules in 2013? And are they capable of taking advantage of those matchups?
As we start, it helps to take a quick look at how schedule strengths are measured. In my 2013 Fantasy Football Draft Guide, cornerbacks are graded with a color-coded matchup rating system. Red-rated cornerbacks are among the top third at their position and thus tend to be the matchups one wants to avoid if possible. Yellow-rated cornerbacks rate in the middle third of the league and thus are solid positional battles for wideouts. Green-rated cornerbacks are those in the bottom third of the league and therefore are the most favorable matchups from a wide receiver's perspective.
The guide then reviews which cornerback a wide receiver is slated to face each week and assigns a point total based on the color grade. Red-rated matchups give zero points, yellow-rated matchups award one point and green-rated matchups provide two points. This means the higher the wide receiver's matchup total, the more favorable his schedule is likely to be. Anything close to 10 points is considered a very difficult schedule, while 18-20 points serves as the bar noting an extremely positive set of matchups.
Let's take a closer look at the top candidates to find out which ones have the best matchups this season.
Dez Bryant (17 matchup points)/Miles Austin (18 matchup points)

So even if you gathered up all the relatively heavy elements that the nova produced, there wouldn't be enough hydrogen left to trigger star formation again.

Your surety will have to take the proper dent once you realize that depending on your local movement (e.g. shuttling towards and from the khazi), the actual date of the supernovation does suffer serious adjustments due to the effects of Special Relativity and large leverage (i.e. distance to the boomcentre), although I cannot be bothered to compute the actual amounts of delta-t involved.

Chualar residents told field researchers Jeff Krause and David Mendez that dogs barked all night before the pattern appeared and later that people with ropes were measuring in the pattern on Sunday, December 29, 2013.

PHYS771 Lecture 19: Time Travel
Let's talk about the more interesting kind of time travel: the backwards kind. Can closed timelike curves (CTCs) exist in Nature? This question has a very long history of being studied by physicists on weekends. It was discovered early on, by Gödel and others, that classical general relativity admits CTC solutions. All of the known solutions, however, have some element that can be objected to as being "unphysical." For example, some solutions involve wormholes, but that requires "exotic matter" having negative mass to keep the wormhole open. They all, so far, involve either non-standard cosmologies or else types of matter or energy that have yet to be experimentally observed. But that's just classical general relativity. Once you put quantum mechanics in the picture, it becomes an even harder question. General relativity is not just a theory of some fields in spacetime, but of spacetime itself, and so once you quantize it, you'd expect there to be fluctuations in the causal structure of spacetime. The question is, why shouldn't that produce CTCs?
Incidentally, there's an interesting metaquestion here: why have physicists found it so hard to create a quantum theory of gravity? The technical answer usually given is that, unlike (say) Maxwell's equations, general relativity is not renormalizable. But I think there's also a simpler answer, one that's much more understandable to a doofus layperson like me. The real heart of the matter is that general relativity is a theory of spacetime itself, and so a quantum theory of gravity is going to have to be talking about superpositions over spacetime and fluctuations of spacetime. One of the things you'd expect such a theory to answer is whether closed timelike curves can exist. So quantum gravity seems "CTC-hard", in the sense that it's at least as hard as determining if CTCs are possible! And even I can see that this can't possibly be a trivial question to settle. Even if CTCs are impossible, presumably they're not going to be proven impossible without some far-reaching new insight. Of course, this is just one instantiation of a general problem: that no one really has a clear idea of what it means to treat spacetime itself quantum-mechanically.
In the field I come from, it's never our place to ask if some physical object exists or not, it's to assume it exists and see what computations we can do with it. Thus, from now on, we'll assume CTCs exist. What would the consequences be for computational complexity? Perhaps surprisingly, I'll be able to give a clear and specific answer to that.
You may be confusing this with a novel by Dan Brown?

They are not into "signature strikes". Cyberfa**otcommand is responsible for that.
My router here, (the name of which sounds either like a Nasty German from a bad WWII movie or an electric interference) has two ports open to the Internet that are not particularly well documented (i.e. not at all), apparently for "maintenance purposes" by the ISP. Am I happy about this? Hell no. Did I close them? I tried. Turns out it is impossible for one of them. Pretty sure the overpaid "maintenance engineer" from the ISP will give me an earful and threaten "fines" when he next shows up. Can I replace the crud with something acceptable? No, the Incumbent Operator (tm) has a special sauce protocol and configurationn that can only be applied by him to exactly that hardware. What do?
Does anyone take consumer security seriously?
No. Here is a two-year contract instead. F*ck you.

"NSA did not violate any US laws."
Next: "SS doctors did not violate any german laws"
Yeah, one can twist and turn, spin and obfuscate, lie and dissemble and plaster the Big Lie on every board so that anything can be justified "to the letter of the law". But so what? It's just another way of raw power abuse if done by those in charge and of whistling past the graveyard by the others.
tl;dr: Retarded
I am nor so sure that it is "far off". The hard problem (i.e. quantum error correction) is in the box. IMHO, there is a good chance of seeing a few hundred entangled qbits happily doing their qbit stuff by the end of the decade, if not a few years earlier.
