Iraqi women and girls are being taken from their homes and raped. Extremist militants who have taken over huge parts of northern Iraq are bursting into homes and demanding families hand over unmarried daughters. Those that refuse are beaten or killed. Women are fleeing for their lives. Help us open a new shelter in ISIS-controlled territory, where women are at the greatest risk of violence. The shelter will provide refuge, aid and medical care to rape survivors and women at risk of brutalities.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Iraq is on the brink of civil war and violence against women is on the rise. International aid agencies have evacuated, and government services are practically non-existent. OWFI, MADRE's Iraqi partner group, is one of the only organizations working on the ground to protect women and families from violence. They need our immediate help to expand their shelter services to a town in ISIS-controlled territory, where women are at great risk of rape, kidnapping and forced marriage.
How will this project solve this problem?
MADRE and OWFI will open a new shelter in ISIS-controlled territory for rape survivors and women fleeing abuse, offering vital refuge and humanitarian aid including food, water, clothing and medical care. We will also provide safe birthing kits and other supplies for an emergency maternity center for women in labor who are prevented by the violence from reaching a hospital. Women and girls fleeing violence will be safe and gain access to the immediate services they need to heal from trauma.
Potential Long Term Impact
In addition to covering the costs of immediate needs for shelter, food and medical care, MADRE and OWFI use human rights training programs to empower women and girl shelter residents to reach out to other victims and build their skills to be agents of change. Through OWFI programs, women and girls expand their capacity to advocate for the full range of women's rights.

Information Quality Act:
National Agricultural Statistics Service Implements First Steps, but Documentation of Census of Agriculture Could Be Improved

The Information Quality Act (IQA) required the Office of Management and Budget to issue guidelines for ensuring the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information disseminated by federal agencies. As part of our long-term examination of the quality of federal information, under the Comptroller General's authority, we reviewed how the act was implemented by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), and assessed the transparency of the documentation supporting its Census of Agriculture. NASS is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
NASS fulfilled its various procedural responsibilities and reporting requirements under the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) guidelines for implementing the act. For example, NASS drafted its own implementation guidance, and developed a mechanism allowing affected parties to request the correction of information they believe is of poor quality. As a result of our review, NASS has also taken steps to better document the criteria it uses to evaluate data users' input on the content of the Census of Agriculture. Building on these efforts, better documentation could improve the transparency of census data products. For example, the nine key products from the 2002 Census we examined lacked, among other things, discussions of any data limitations. This is contrary to NASS's own guidelines for ensuring transparency, which stress the importance of describing the methods, data sources, and other items to help users understand how the information was designed and produced. Although NASS complied with OMB's requirement to establish a mechanism under IQA to address requests to correct information, NASS has not documented its approach for handling correction requests not filed under IQA (NASS handles these correction requests using an existing, informal method). Agency officials told us that data users have been satisfied with the way NASS had responded to these requests. However, because NASS does not document its informal procedures for handling correction requests and lacks a recordkeeping system to log and track them, NASS could not provide us with specific data on the number of such requests it has handled, the nature of those requests, and whether and how they were addressed.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: NASS concurred that its specialized reports, though generally short in length, should inform data users where to obtain information on the methods and procedures used to create the report so that data users will understand how an information product was designed and produced. NASS noted that it will now reference links to this information in its shorter, specialized reports. Specifically, NASS now has a link to its guidelines containing the 2002 Census of Agriculture publications on its Web site. In addition, future Census of Agriculture publications are to contain a standard reference to the NASS guidelines for data documentation.
Recommendation: To help enhance the transparency of the Census of Agriculture's processes and products, we recommend that the Secretary of Agriculture direct NASS to ensure that census products fully address NASS's own guidelines for data documentation or at least contain links to such information. The list of 20 documentation practices that we developed, while not necessarily exhaustive, represents sound actions used by other statistical agencies and could form a starting point for NASS.
Agency Affected: Department of Agriculture
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: NASS concurred with GAO's observation that it might be useful to obtain "a more complete picture of the questions NASS receives about its data." However, NASS did not believe it would be cost-effective to attempt to maintain a detailed recordkeeping system to log and track every inquiry. As an alternative, NASS is now compiling a listing of the more common issues raised after census publication and disseminating the list (via the NASS Web site), a post-census summary of frequently asked questions that seek data clarification. NASS believes this approach will allow it to develop a better picture of the questions received for future planning as well as provide answers to those questions most likely to arise among other data users.
Recommendation: To help enhance the transparency of the Census of Agriculture's processes and products, we recommend that the Secretary of Agriculture direct NASS to document and post on NASS's Web site its procedures for handling data correction requests not filed under IQA, and track the disposition of those requests.

Transcript: Press briefing on Air Force One
So it's not a day for politics. That said, I think it is evident to any impartial observer here what an important role the federal government can play in providing assistance to our people at their time of urgent need. And you talk about an agency like FEMA that, when this President took office, did not have a very good reputation, and I think there were some failures that were widely reported about their response to previous natural disasters.
Craig Fugate, the current administrator for FEMA, is a widely regarded expert in this area. Based on my own personal experience -- I worked on the Governor's race in 2006 in the state of Florida, and one of the first promises made by both the Democratic candidate and the Republican candidate for governor was to reappoint Craig Fugate as the state's emergency manager because he had such a strong reputation there.
So the President -- when the President appointed him to his job, without regard to political persuasion, the President chose the best person for the job. And I think it's important that you have somebody like Mr. Fugate, who has an expertise in this area, running this agency. And I think it's evident, and I think we'll see a little bit of that even today, the difference that that has in the lives of people who have been affected in such a traumatic way.
Q: In the last six months or so -- Newtown, the President went to Texas, the President was in Boston in April. What kind of role does he see himself playing when he goes to sort of comfort the families in the wake of such a tragedy?
MR. EARNEST: I think it's important -- the President believes that it's important for people to understand, people in these communities to understand, that the entire nation is standing with them in their time of need; that it's important for -- that our country, for all of the political turmoil and strife and strident debate that goes in our nation's capital, that the people of this nation are united by something much stronger than political debate.
Those political differences are genuine, but they in no way undermine the bonds among the people of this country and the symbolism of the leader of this country -- as I mentioned, the greatest country on Earth -- traveling to a community in a time of crisis and articulating not just his own personal condolences for their loss, but his own personal resolve and the resolve of the country to ensure that they have the resources and the expertise of the greatest nation on Earth to stand with them in the recovery.
And that is a powerful statement and a powerful message that any President can deliver. And it's a responsibility that this President takes seriously, both as a reminder, again, to the people in these communities who have been affected, but also as a reminder to people all across the country that, as Americans, we stand together in time of crisis and put aside our differences, whether they're political or otherwise; that our bonds as Americans are strong, and the strength of those bonds is put to the test and they hold up particularly in times of crisis.
Q: -- a bookend element to that of what the end of a recovery process like this looks like, or at least six months, seven months down the road?
MR. EARNEST: I do think that there is a -- that it's a pretty vivid illustration about the President's commitment to seeing these things through. You're right that the recovery effort in the aftermath of Sandy is still ongoing and there are still a lot of people in these communities who are hurting and are still struggling to come back from the blow that that storm dealt to them.
But the President made a promise, in the aftermath of that storm, that he would continue to focus on that recovery effort and that the federal government would continue to focus on that recovery effort long after the nation's attention, or at least the media's attention had turned elsewhere.
And so the President does view this as -- he's looking forward to his trip to New Jersey, because I do think that we'll see that significant progress has been made, even though there is significant work that remains to be done. And I do think that six, eight, ten months down the road, that people in Oklahoma, because of the strong support of the federal government but also people all across this country who generously contributed to the Red Cross and other places that are assisting in the effort, that they're going to have a lot to show for the support of the country and in Oklahoma as well.
Q: Any comment on Syria and Hezbollah?
MR. EARNEST: We obviously took note of the comments that were made yesterday. We've expressed our concerns for some time now about the role that Hezbollah has played in supporting the Assad regime. We have condemned that violence and their involvement in that violence.
It is evident to us that the public pronouncement of Hezbollah's involvement is a response to the increasing casualties being sustained by Hezbollah fighters in the area, and it only underscores the urgent need for a democratic political transition to take place in Syria. It's time for Assad to leave power, and it is time for a political transition to take place because it's clear that this instability is being felt throughout the region and poses a significant threat to the region because of that instability.
So we're going to continue working with our partners and our allies to try to facilitate a continued transition in Syria.
Q : But it doesn't change -- Hezbollah's declared intentions doesn't change the calculus at all in terms of further intervention by the United States and helping to arm the rebels and do other -- sort of go further?
MR. EARNEST: Well, I think it's fair to say that the calculus that the President is making is something that is regularly reviewed and updated. This is a situation that we're following close. And what you've seen, as you've seen over the last several months, that our involvement and our assistance to the opposition there has steadily increased. Our commitment to providing humanitarian aid to those who are bearing the brunt of this violence is resolute.
We're continuing to support our partners who are also dealing with this. The President talked about this quite a bit when he was in Jordan about the humanitarian crisis that they're dealing with there. So we're going to continue to provide that kind of support. But we've also in recent months ramped up our support in other areas in terms of nonlethal aid to the opposition.
So this is something that is regularly being reviewed. And I'm sure that in the days and weeks ahead, as we continue to review our posture here, that the public pronouncements of the Hezbollah leader will also be factored into this.
All right, guys, thanks.

Client-side "/Powerhue" instead of lockdown of neat mechanic?
I know we've all seen the /powerhue'd weapons and powers across the galaxy in this game, and even /I/ can agree that it can make the game less immersive for some...
But does anyone think Cryptic should allow client-side hueshifts instead?
That way it doesn't interfere with the gameplay and immersion for others or give anyone any "what weapon are they using?" advantage, while still allowing us to have awesome coloured weapons on our own ships?
Maybe even further with the OPTION to see custom hue****s?
In my opinion, this is a very neat mechanic that shouldn't be taken out... it should instead be made an option, and by default everything looks normal for you, even if other players have custom colours..
--- edit for better explanation ---
With my proposal, when you start a new character all weapon/explosion/power colours on everyone's characters (including your own) would be the default, canon, colours.
If you /powerhue, it only changes, client-side, the colours on your ship. No one else can see this colour.
Maybe add a "/customcolors (0/1)" command that lets you see everyone's custom colours.
This way no one's game gets ruined by pink lasers, and people that want custom colours and/or the option to see others' custom colours would be able to. (Though I don't expect the public-custom-colours option, but it'd be a nice touch)
like the idea but probably wont happen, i would at least advocate it for fleets, as an identifying feature, but it wont happen, enjoy it while it lasts :P i'll miss my blue rays of doom......until i get tetryon (what ever its called)..heard they're blue
I read somewhere, don't recall where, that part of the license is to keep these sorts of thing canon. So its not that we would be bothering other people with our fabulous pink lasers, but CBS doesn't want to allow us to see anything else.
Not really up to Cryptic if I do remember correctly.
I agree that we should have the option to use our newly "painted" phasers etc. I like my pink ones :)
And in regards to Canon, there is something called Artistic Freedom, and this has been changed a few times through series made after Gene died as well. As long as it can be explained within reason in story telling it can work. It's the same thing as the Red Matter in the new star trek movie. They have just come up with another type of matter, and it was not even very well explained.
So canon is very much in the eye of the beholder.
So its not like you can give yourself black pew pew beams.
On top of that, how do you know there isn't a pink hued weapon in the game?... I know for a fact that there are orange, green, blue, and yellow...
Not having used this feature, it sounds interesting and if there is word that it is being removed that seems disappointing.
In regards to canon, I always figured the reason the pew pew beams in the shows had been this color or that color was simply because of the color of the lens that the pew pew beam goes through. Sure I know that you have phasers and disrupter and other pew pew beams, but I always figured that the biggest difference between them was the same as the difference between an Windows computer, a Lynx computer, and a Mac computer.
Sure they all do pretty much the same thing, but most windows users can't tell you exactly how a Lynx or a Mac computer work differently than their computer. There are differences, but ultimately they do the same thing... the work you desire to have done. Be it play a game or make a movie.
And just the same with the pew pew rays in star trek. Sure there are people out there that can tell me that the Romulan disrupter does this and not that compared to the phasers that the Feds use. But ultimately they serve the same purpose. They take out enemy targets.
Nor does knowing the difference between the disrupter and the phasers actually explain WHY the color is the color that it is, other than as a visual guide to watchers of the TV shows and movies. I mean imagine if all pew pew rays got the color green, and one ship shot the other ships weapons. It wouldn't be clear who was shooting who. But if you say Romulan's use weapons that have color X and Feds use color Y, then when the Feds shoot the Romulan's weapons you can tell it is Y shooting X and not X shooting Y.
But from a real world view point, it doesn't make any sense at all. Why is some ammo for some weapons a golden color why other ammo is silver in color? Well that's because the material of the casing is different.
Why do tracer rounds light up one color and not some other color? Because they decided that that was the most useful color to use in the most situations. But the color is actually able to be changed to pretty much anything they want so if the a real world military needs red tracer rounds they can get red tracer rounds. If they need yellow tracer rounds they can get yellow tracer rounds.
So you can't convince me that a phaser (something that s basically a sci-fi laser) can't be any color that is required. You can convince me though that a phaser is manufactured one way, and that if you want it another color you are going to have to pay extra for the modification, but that's understandable.
Likewise if one wanted a setting to turn off the custom colors so they see everything in it's default color that also makes sense to me. I mean most of combat in space would be done on a computer screen anyways with the computer telling you various readings. It could show you those little pew pew beams in any color you wanted. It's called a user interface.
Fed Phasers, according to TNG, are colored according to the frequency used. You can see them change color when they do the neato rotate frequency thing vs borg.
Cardassian phasers are browish orange because it just looks Cardassian. The lights on their consoles are the same color, the ship hull is close to that color etc.
Disruptors are Green because in Star Trek green is evil. Klinks have green ships, Romulans use green ships and lighting, Borg tech uses green lighting, etc.
I hope they leave it at least client-side, though I'd love for it to just be left alone. The weapons I want my character to use don't exist in the game (and almost certainly never will, since they're basically just different colored phasers) so the powerhue thing is good for RP for me.
Hmm...perhaps they could add more crafting to Memory Alpha, different color weapons? That would be a nice compromise and improvement on the (somewhat lacking) crafting system.
I agree with the OP

Opening any clip does some buffering and then "there was a problem while playing, touch to retry", this is with latest youtube app or earlier (stock) version. I have no other video apps.

Signs of a bad guest...
Following up to Ilovepink's bad hostess post...
As I was responding to her question about bad hostesses - I realized I was responding to signs of a bad guest - so I thought I would start my own thread.
Mine are...
1. Guests who arrive early - One of us is usually getting dressed or my fiance is fininshing up with the food and he usually gets stuck talking to them while we are getting ready.
2. Guests who keep you waiting - I hate waiting for someone who doesn't call to say they are running late. In one instance I waited over 45 minutes for my dad before we started brunch and when I called, he said he wasn't coming.
3. Guests who "help" clean up - While I appreciate the help, my in-laws always get up immediately after dinner and put everything away - regardless if it is food that needs to be refrigerated or not, and it rushes everyone out the door.
4. Guest who eat and run - My in-laws again...Why have I spent the past week cooking, baking, cleaning, setting a beautiful table when you are here 2 hours and then leave? I love socializing and catching up. They are in a hurry to eat and leave to go right back home!
5. Guests who go into a bedroom door that is closed - Obviously I didn't want anyone in there or the door would have been open.
6. Guests who don't RSVP - this is my number one gripe!
7. Guests who bring extra kids to my kids' birthday parties - I hate having to scrounge up extra goodie bags or paying for kids I don't know or didn't invite.
8. Guests whose kids trash my kids' room and then leave - your kid helped make the mess the least you can do is have them help clean up.
I'll stop there for now...anyone have any more??
When people dont RSVP it makes me insane. I have come up with a plan that has helped somewhat. When it is a childrens party i will give invites to the class 2 1/2 weeks before the party. The Monday before the party i will send out RSVP reminders asking to call by that night. On the reminders it also states that parents must call to insure that the child actually has permission to attend. Alot of times kids will tell each other that they will be there when in fact they are not going. I have had parents call at 9pm the night before the party and not show. I have also had parents make there 5 year old child call. I love that! However the reminders has helped. I have never had someone bring extra kids to the party (knock on wood).As for adult parties usually more people attend and they did not RSVP. It seems to be the same people every year. Its very frustating!
1. When guests do not rsvp:
a. To the phone number that you have printed on the invite.
b. They let the person who the party is in honor of know they can't make it but they don't tell the hostess.
2. When guests bring children and they were not invited.
3. When guests start political debates or intense conversations at the dinner table and the hosts and hostess have tried to nicely end the discussion.
4. Guests that bring their personal business to the party. If they were fighting because they were lost and then arrive and are still going at it or letting everyone know.
I think we all agree that failure to RSVP is probably the number one bad guest move. And that includes all of the last minute/unexpected guest/change of plans variations on boorish behavior out there.
Ninos, I think it is fantastic that somewhere out there, there are parents teaching their kids how to RSVP. Gives me hope :)
This is a cross-post from last year, but opened up old hard feelings. These people are on the West coast and we are on the East coast now.
Couple attended a couple of parties at our home. Husband was a joke-teller and consumed quite a bit of time doing so. His DW was in my "girls group" and opined at one time how difficult it is to have a holiday dinner w/o grandkids, etc. since most people have them and we don't. On that cue, I invited them to our house for Thanksgiving. They were going away for her birthday but thanks. Weather there turned lousy and they came home. She called the day before Thanksgiving and asked us to her home. I said that I had already bought everything so why not come to ours. Well, they had already asked others to theirs. We spent TG home alone.
I brought this up to a GF who said that maybe the husband was uncomfortable at our home, but I said that he didn't seem uncomfortable telling jokes to our other guests for an hour or so....
Fast forward; her sis and BIL were visiting from Europe. She called and asked my DH to schedule a golf game a few days hence, which he did. Then, since I hadn't heard from her in the meantime, I called the evening before to confirm the golf date. She said, "Oh, they aren't playing." No thanks, or KMA or nothing.
The last straw was a discussion about storage of seldom used things (party items, etc.), and she said that they had just recently had a Christmas party with 60 people(we were not invited).
It hurt like he!!, but at least I'm old enough to realize that $#!+ happens and I think if she ever knew how hurt I was, she would be devastated. I just think she didn't have a clue, even though they are very socially connected and well liked.

Walking the eastern half of Rome
Without anything pressing today we decided to walk around parts of Rome that are unknown to us. We caught the bus to the Borghese Gardens and stepped off into a local market, heaps of stuff, but not anything we wanted.

I would go out of my way to stay at this hotel. It was at an excellent location with a movie theatre and pretty much any restaurant you'd ever want to go and eat at. The staff was wonderful and the room was great. My wife and I spent our anniversary there and we were both blown away. Great job everyone.

To link to this article, copy this persistent link:
(Apr 09, 2009) On January 1, 2009, a Worker Migration Control Act (Gesetz zur arbeitsmarktadequaten Steuerung der Zuwanderung Hochqualifizierter und zur Änderung weiterer aufenthaltsrechtlicher Regelungen (Arbeitsmigrationssteuerungsgesetz), Dec. 20, 2008, BUNDESGESETZBLATT [BGBl] I at 2846) became effective, making it easier for German employers to hire highly qualified aliens. The Act amends section 19 of the Residence Act (Aufenthaltsgesetz (AufenthG), Jun. 30, 2004, BGBl I at 1950, updated text available at http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/aufenthg_2004/BJNR195010004.html) which allows for the granting of a permanent residence permit to highly qualified workers when they come to Germany, instead of requiring them to work under a temporary workers' permit for five years before being eligible for permanent status.
Until December 31, 2008, one of the criteria for defining an eligible foreign worker as highly qualified was an income threshold of €86,400 (about US$116,560) (AufenthG, § 19 (2) no. 3). The reform act lowered this income threshold to €63,600 (about US$85,801). The change was made by pegging the income threshold to the maximum annual income from which social security contributions are deducted, whereas the formerly used threshold was the maximum annual income from which social health insurance contributions are deducted (Änderung des Ausländerrechts in Kraft getreten, Zeitschrift für Ausländerrecht und Ausländerpolitik 74 (2009)). Under the new provisions, an alien who is being hired by a German employer with an annual gross salary of at least €63,600 can obtain a permanent residence permit upon arrival in Germany, if the labor authorities consent.
The Worker Migration Control Act also makes it easier for refugees who live in Germany under an insecure and temporary refugee status to obtain a temporary residence permit if they have desirable qualifications. These are defined in the newly introduced article 18a of the Residence Act as having completed a higher vocational education or a university education, as having worked in a professional capacity in their field for two years, or as having worked as a skilled laborer for the past three years while having been able to support themselves and their families during the last year before applying for the residence permit.

you'd go so willingly?
Two years it has been,
while this is true,
Two years we've loved
through and through.
Or that's what you whispered
to me in the night.
Words of our love
blooming, taking flight.
But it doesn't matter what I do now
because you'll leave me without a sound.
"Two years is too long,"
you utter to me.
"I need the experience;
I need to be free."
"By going to other girls?" I said.
"By fleeing?
By leaving?
By having a relationship,
though that's why you leave me?"
"I need to be normal,
as high schoolers do."
He says those words,
those whispered three.
Still they stand,
just for me,
but if he loved me --
faithfully; truly --
I'd not have to think,
"If you leave me..."
He says he'll come back without second thought...
But that's if I wait

I used to do volunteering at the CTC at Uki, south of Murwillumbah, and on this day I was dreamily wending my way home and I came up the hill and there was THIS off to my left. I stayed there for about 30 minutes and took many, many pics of the down and up crepuscular rays.
I've been doing some re-editing of old shots now my post capture skills are so much better, and thought this set was worthy of consideration.

Nikon prostaffs are pretty good for the price. http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-ProStaff-Black-Riflescope-Nikoplex/dp/B004MY5L18/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1374796341&sr=8-2&keywords=nikon+prostaff
this one is 11 dollars more than your limit. if you fill out an online form at amazon.com for an amazon visa card, you can get immediate free money from 30 to 50 dollars off your purchase, making it well within your budget. I received 50 dollars when I did that for an Eotech scope on amazon, and with my good credit, they gave me 50 dollars towards any purchase. if you don't like credit cards, just cut it up and don't use it, and you still got the free money for filling out the form.
At optics planet they sell silver ones also, but 19 dollars over your limithttp://www.opticsplanet.com/nikon-riflescope-prostaff-3-9x40.html
The nice thing about a budget scope is when you finally get into some good money and want a better scope, you now have a better one to put on your 22 rifle, etc
I'm a fan of Mueller scopes... I suggest you poke around their website. Here's a link that fits your price etc.....http://muelleroptics.com/MU3940EER
Also, do you have some large box-store gun stores in your area? Go to their counter and check them out and look through them and see what you can like and live with.
You really nedd that lower magnification when hunting. If your planning on a 5-6x lower it does no good at 50 yards. I put a Sightron SII Big Sky on my .308HB to make it practical. I use to use the rifle at 700 yards w/ a 6-24x40mmAO scope. Not a good choice for hunting. The 3-12x42mmAO is much better. I'm I big guy so swinging the rifle on a moving target is not tough. The difference in the Quality of glass is amazing. The old scope was very good, but I am happier w/ this set up. It is a 620.00 scope. Glass quality is excellent.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
Save a little more money and put a decent scope on your rifle. You won't regret buying a quality scope.
For the price,The Weaver Classic Extreme is a hell of a scope. It was Weaver's top of the line scope before they introduced the Super Slam series.
Natchez has them for a great price,and this one would serve you well on your rifle.http://www.natchezss.com/Category.cfm?contentID=productDetail&brand=WE&prod ID=WE800703&prodTitle=Weaver%202.5-10X50%20Classic%20Extreme%20Riflescope%20Ill.%20Ge rman%20#4 Reticle Matte

Simmons Whitetail Classic 6.5-20x50 for $109(truplex reticle), or same power with(Mil-dot) for $125. These are $200+type scopes.
Midway also has many other Scopes and are good People to work with, if run into problems.
Keep in mind $150-300 the glass quality will be the same . I would take a look at a vortex that's right in your price range . Lifetime warranty, great customer service ,

The 101 for Dads with kids that are obsessed with Minecraft!
If you have children between 6 and who knows how old - then you've heard of Minecraft (especially if you have boys that have access to a computer or friends)
In my case I have two sons between the ages of 8 and 10 and both have been addicted to Minecraft since its first release back in 2012.
Since then I've been peppered with "Dad can you get this MOD, can you get this SKIN, can you get a SEED...." For the last two years I've had to learn a ton about MC - All the server modes, difficulty levels and combination of each. I've hosted servers in my home, deployed servers in the "Cloud", purchased Realms and purchased "Hosted MC servers".
All this on top of keeping up with every MC version release and then starting all over again - not much compatibility between versions :).
Currently all the rage is "Mini Games" and "Command Blocks" and a ton of internet searches and YouTube video's later we're creating games within MC.
And with the pain I've decided to share what I've learned - OLD SCHOOL style. No YouTube and very few images. Going to use actual words and exact commands so other Dads like me can develop servers for their kids, and cousins, and friends for your kids.....

Picture of My Oldhamii
sambo725(9)June 15, 2012
New shot coming up on my four year old Oldhamii plant. I am excited to see how tall this culm will get! As you can see from the picture it is much larger then last years.
Here is a picture of the new growth this year for 2013. So far it is only one new shot, and compared to last year it is 2 weeks behind schedule. Last years shots got to around 25 probably closer to 30 ft tall. Once again this years new shots are substantially bigger than last year. This has been a really neat and fast growing plant for me.

Oracle Linux is silly. I think Oracle will likely start licensing RedHat as it gets more difficult to support. Once they start writing checks their problems with RedHat will be over.
I don't agree with the author.
Their stack is: bare metal, Oracle Linux, Oracle ASM (fs/volume mgr), Oracle Cluster, then DB, app, etc.
In other words, from bare metal (which they also sell
I'd be really surprised if they'd yank one one layer of the stack (OEL).
They may merge in some Sun tech, though - right now that is a whole different stack.
Yes, because websites will all be hosted in the magical cloud, which somehow transcends the need for servers, and nobody will ever, EVER want to host ANYTHING on their own servers. Idiot.
There isn't a -1 stupid moderation, so I substitute overrated.
When I was a young engineer in the early 90's most of my time was spent migrating services from mainframes to standalone servers. It was the epitome of progress - instead of these shared resources, you could have your very own dedicated resources, complete with redundant power, storage, memory, etc
At the time, one of the old engineers told me "we'll be changing all this back in 15 or 20 years, wait and see"
These days, I can appreciate the old man's wisdom. There are two trends which have been constant for as long as I've been working in IT:
Give it another 20 years, and I'll probably be seeing out the twighlight of my career dragging services back out of the "cloud" on to discrete hardware. Having your own dedicated resources will be the epitome of progress, compared to all that old-fashioned "cloud" computing.
The meat is rotten, but the booze is holding out. Computer translation of "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

India has successfully launched a rocket carrying three satellites into orbit, officials have said.
The rocket, launched on Wednesday, was carrying Resourcesat-2, a remote sensing satellite that will study and help manage natural resources, along with Youthsat and X-sat, two nano-satellites.
S Satish, an official at India's Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), said the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle had a smooth lift-off and was able to deploy the satellites into orbit 822 kilometres above the Earth.
Scientists and engineers at the launch pad in southern Andhra Pradesh state cheered as the rocket lifted off. It deployed the satellites 18 minutes after takeoff, as scheduled.
The successful launch came as a relief to scientists at mission control as it came after two failed missions last year.
The 1,206 kilogram Resourcesat-2 will have a life cycle of five years, and will replace Resourcesat-1, which launched in 2003.
The two nano-satellites launched with it will study the stars and process images from space.
India is the fifth country, after the United States, Russia, China and France, to enter the commercial satellite launch market.
Since 1994, the country has launched a number of Indian-made satellites. It is aiming at a manned flight into space in 2016.

"When asked recently whether I was a collector of some sort, I thought of my grandmother's cabinet that holds hundreds of elephant figurines — more than 60 years' worth, from many places. And she's still adding to the lot. So my response was no.
Then a few days later I realized that I am a collector: of foods tasted throughout my life, or at least the memories of them. This is especially true of salsas. I have countless papers scattered on my desk with notes about the names of them, the places I ate them, their ingredients, the cooks who made them and, when generously given, directions on how to re-create them…"

The Washington Post: A True Mexican Collectible
"Growing up in Mexico City, my sisters and I used to prepare exotic meals, perfumes and potions for the inhabitants of our enchanted forest. That was our dog, the bluebird, snails, butterflies and ladybugs that happened to peek into our backyard and witness our extravagant mess. It also included any family friend who happened to stop by and become a willing victim. We sometimes offered cooking classes, too.
My mother set us up in the backyard on a big blanket with random pots and pans, while she cooked laborious weekend meals. There was a fig tree, an apple tree, a peach tree, a couple of what we called Chinese orange trees, and tons of azaleas and herbs that offered an immense array of witchcrafting material. But among our most prized ingredients were dried jamaica (pronounced ha-may-kah) flowers, known in the U.S. as hibiscus flowers, stored in a big jar in the kitchen…"

"Patricia Jinich teaches regional Mexican cooking at the Mexican Cultural Institute here. But at the Lubavitch Center recently she showed about 70 Jewish women how to cook for Passover.
She made gefilte fish in a Veracruz sauce of tomatoes, pickled peppers, olives and capers, and spoke of how her Polish grandfather loved to wrap fresh, warm tortillas around gribenes (chicken cracklings with fried onions) with a side of guacamole.
Some of the women were in long dresses, with their heads covered. Ms. Jinich, 37, had on a Mexican huipil blouse with red and green trim under her chef's jacket.
Still, she said, 'The Yiddische mama and the Mexican mama have lots in common.'"
