Disclaimer: I havent been hands-on with server hardware, im looking at this with the perspective of a desktop system.
Whats the usefulness of this? When I think of hotplugging I think of swapping out the piece of hardware while its in use which is why I get confused when I read about hot-swappable drives/ram/CPU's. If you just pull out a stick of RAM or a CPU while its in us you'll lose whatever data was on it and isnt it a risk to whoever is pulling out said piece of hardware from the electrical charge of the system? I get that hardware goes bad and it needs to be replaced but I guess where im tripping up on is the actual procedure to follow FOR replacing it while the systems in use.

wow ant, you must be in a really good mood today, arent you?
wow ant, you must be in a really good mood today, arent you?
First, I love D/W. I enjoy them more then D/S. And I agree that Maxim has a serious knee problem. That being said, there's a bad competition and there's a bad competition. IMO D/S have the judges' grace, and the home advantage, which means D/W will have to rise to the occasion and not give the judges an excuse by silly stumblings and mistakes.
Interesting to note...despite the terrible OD, D/W came back strong in the FD to actually beat D/S and got the bronze medal. I think the judges certainly didn't hold that OD against them. I do agree with you, though, about D/S's judges' graces and home advantage. D/W will need to be flawless, I'm thinking. Which so early in the season, they may or may not be. That goes for D/S, too, though.

Only if they think she did it on purpose!
"Miscalculation" means something was planned, but badly.
"Misfunction" means something didn't work, or broke.
The current buzz-phrase in the US, since Janet Jackson bust out of her top on national TV, is "wardrobe misfunction."
I wasn't implying anything about you, seniorita.

Daily OCD 8/17/12 | |
Written by Jen Vaughn | Filed under Wilfred Santiago, Ulli Lust, Steve Ditko, Noah Van Sciver, Love and Rockets, Los Bros Hernandez, Joshua Glenn, Johnny Gruelle, John Benson, Joe Daly, Jaime Hernandez, Jacques Tardi, EC Comics, Daily OCD, Blake Bell, Bill Everett | 17 Aug 2012 5:26 PM |
The freshest fried-this-morning Online Commentaries & Diversions:
• Review: Tucker Stone on The Comics Journal gives a thumbs-up to Dungeon Quest Vol. 3 by Joe Daly. "Dungeon Quest–the mumbling stoner counterpart to its methed up metal freak cousin, Prison Pit–has a whole new stack of penis-obsessed pages to play with. It's tempting to single out one part of this volume to label as best, but that temptation dissipates upon the realization that it's going to be impossible to pick a winner."
• Review: BookGasm raves about Jacques Tardi's New York Mon Amour. JT Lindroos says, "It shuffles in elements from Tardi's other books, but distills those familiar ingredients into a wholly unique concoction. . . It's a love letter to an imaginary city bursting with life, depression and death, a city you love to observe from a distance."
• Interview (audio): BoingBoing's podcast Gweek features Joshua Glenn, editor of Significant Objects, and Top Shelf cartoonist Ed Piskor.
• Plug: Noah Van Sciver finished out the TCJ Comic Diary week with a visit by Gary Groth. Heidi MacDonald of The Beat said nice things about The Hypo: "an extremely well researched look at Abraham Lincoln's early days as a depressed young lawyer, will be one of the buzz books of the fall."
• Plug: Bleeding Cool and Rich Johnston show off some pages from Today is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life by Ulli Lust, coming out this fall.
• Interview: Editor of the Steve Ditko and Bill Everett Archives, Blake Bell, shows up on the Distinguished Comic Book Podcast to talk about Ditko, Bill Everett, and the Secret History of Marvel Comics.
• Plug: Robot 6 and Bridget Alverson are excited for both the upcoming Wilfred Santiago books on Michael Jordan and John Brown. "If the images are any indication, Santiago is busting out from the limited palette he used for the Clemente book to full, brilliant color, applied in a bold, painterly style."
• Plug: The Covered blog continues to highlight new versions of Love and Rockets covers. This time it's L&R #50 drawn by Robert Goodin. Check out Goodin's eerie treatment of a classic.
• Plug: The Love and Rockets Northeast Tour is mentioned on BoingBoing. Thanks, Marc!
• Interview: Casey Burbach interviews editor John Benson on fanzine Squa Tront's issue #13 (forty years after issue #1 came out) and the EC collections that have been published: "I thought that the color in the latest "EC Archives" series was pretty bad, at least in the book that I saw – not appropriate for comics of that era. . . The Fantagraphics series will be produced with quality and taste, I'm sure. Hopefully, with a different distribution set-up, going into bookstores, they may also reach a new audience."
• Review (audio): The Comic Books are Burning in Hell podcast recently chatted up Johnny Gruelle's Mr. Twee-Deedle edited by Rick Marschall. Around the 38 minute mark is where they predict ". . . it'll wind up a real contender for 2012's 'thru the cracks' award for most sadly obscure release. . ." Let's avoid ANY books falling through the cracks, check out this broadsheet-sized wonder today!
• Review: The Australian checks out Flannery O'Connor: The Cartoons, edited by Kelly Gerald. Owen Heitmann says, "Flannery O'Connor: The Cartoons is primarily of historical interest, documenting the early development of the first postwar female writer to merit inclusion in the Library of America series. Editor Kelly Gerald has taken this archival approach to heart, reproducing apparently every extant example of O'Connor's cartooning, even doodles from later handwritten letters."

Although the shipping took longer than anticipated, I really found this useful for shading lettuce when our summer kicked in early with many days over 100. It was easy to set up and the irrigation to the area wasn't compromised which was nice. Very easy - just put it up and forget it.

GOP sequestration plan calls for reducing federal workforce
Wednesday - 2/6/2013, 4:40pm EST
Republican press conference
Republicans on the House and Senate Armed Services Committees have proposed an alternative to the automatic budget cuts set to go into effect next month that includes reducing the size of the federal workforce by 10 percent through attrition.
The bill, introduced by Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) uses the $85 billion in savings from the workforce reductions to avert the sequestration cuts for both Defense and civilian agencies.
Under McKeon and Ayotte's plan, federal agencies would be limited to replacing only one employee for every three that leave federal service. The hiring restrictions, which would be applied at the agency level (not within agency components) aims to give the Defense Department more flexibilty, according to a release from Ayotte's office, and could be waived for national security reasons.
The plan also includes a measure freezing congressional pay.
The Republican lawmakers, paraphrasing comments from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and other DoD officials, pointed to the harmful effects of sequestration on Pentagon spending.
"Frankly, our defense should not be used as a bargaining chip," Ayotte said.
The proposal is similar to a bill McKeon introduced last year — the Down Payment to Protect National Security Act.
McKeon said the current GOP alternative would be "as painless as possible to protect our troops."
The Republican lawmakers denounced President Barack Obama's proposal to delay sequestration with a short-term deficit deal that includes a combination of spending cuts and more taxes.
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, called Obama's proposal a "nonstarter."
Unions, Democrats decry 'unfair' cuts
Congressional Democrats and federal-employee unions panned the Republican proposal.
"It is simply unfair and unwise to target America's public servants after they have already accepted a two-year pay freeze, an increased pension contribution, and a reduction and delay of a cost-of-living-adjustment this year," said House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) in a statement.
Employee groups estimate that, so far, those changes to federal pay and benefits have garnered $103 billion in deficit savings.
Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.), who represents many federal workers in his district, said the latest Republican plan is an attempt "to place the brunt of deficit reduction on the backs of our federal workforce. ... It is time for Congress to find a comprehensive deficit plan that asks others to pay their fair share."
Many agencies are already facing dwindling staff numbers, said National Treasury Employees Union President Colleen Kelley whose union represents some 150,000 federal employees. The Internal Revenue Service has shed about 5,000 jobs since 2011, she said.
"Everyone agrees that sequestration is terrible policy," Kelley said in a statement. "Plans to implement it on March 1 should be abandoned, but doing so with a 10 percent reduction in the federal workforce is foolhardy and would result in short staffing that could last for a decade."
Congress has already delayed the onset of the cuts — from January to March — as part of a broader "fiscal cliff" deal.

text: Max Emanuel Cencic ‒ Biography"Mr Cencic is blessed with the finest countertenor voice of our day." That was the view of the German magazine Opernwelt back in 2008, and ever since he has strengthened his iconic status among present-day countertenors, with a combination of beautiful, pure tone and passionate delivery. Born in 1976 in Zagreb, Cencic first came to public attention aged six singing the Queen of the Night aria from the Magic Flute. He went on to sing with the Vienna Boys Choir, touring widely and launching his solo career in 1992 as a male soprano, followed in 2001 as a countertenor. In 2003, Cencic's interpretation of Nerone (in Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea) in Basel was an early milestone in his career, prompting Opernwelt to name him Best New Singer of the Year. Other notable roles have included Perseo in Vivaldi's long-forgotten serenata Andromeda Liberata (recorded live by Deutsche Grammophon), the title role in Handel's rarely performed opera Faramondo, and the Herald in the world premiere of Reimann's Medea at the Vienna State Opera in 2010. During the 2011-12 season Cencic stunned audiences in Paris, Lausanne, Amsterdam and Versailles, creating the title role of Vivaldi's opera Farnace. The production achieved even wider success through widespread transmission on mezzoTV. The crowning glory of Cencic's 2012-13 season was the production, tour and recording of a newly-rediscovered opera, Leonardo Vinci's Artaserse. Cencic masterminded the whole project, from the choice of work to the choice of cast. Originally premiered in Rome in 1730 ‒ a time when women were forbidden from performing on the public stage ‒ this re-creation too featured an all-male cast, including five counter-tenors. Taking the role of Mandane, Cencic was rewarded for both his singing and the production with rave reviews. Every performance at the OpÚra national de Lorraine, the Theater an der Wien, the Cologne Opera, the OpÚra de Lausanne and the ThÚÔtre des Champs-╔lysÚes received a standing ovation. The production won an equally enthusiastic reception when it was seen again between March and May 2014 in Cologne, Versailles and Amsterdam. In November 2013 Cencic made his debut at the Frankfurt Opera in a production of Gluck's Ezio, Il Giornale della Musica calling him "musically impeccable". His 2014 schedule includes Hasse's Siroe in Athens and Versailles, concert performances of Tamerlano in Versailles, Munich, Cologne, Hamburg and Vienna and Alessandro in Moscow, Carmina Burana at the Festival d'Orange and various concerts throughout Europe. His plans for 2015 include a production of Vinci's Catone in Utica in Wiesbaden, Versailles, Bucharest and Vienna, Porpora's Germanico in Germania in Innsbruck and concert performances of Tamerlano in Krak¾w, Alessandro in Brussels and Siroe in Vienna. Cencic's Decca recording of Handel's Alessandro, released in September 2012, garnered six major awards, including Opera CD of the Year for 2013 from operaawards.com, and won rave reviews, as did his 2014 release Rokoko, a collection of opera arias by Hasse, which Limelight Magazine referred to as a "superb recital . . . Cencic's voice is one of the richest around today with a gleaming top, a fulsome but firm bottom register and his technical facility is spectacular yet always beautifully expressive." He follows this with the November 2014 release of Hasse's Siroe with Armonia Atenea under George Petrou ‒ the latest fruit of an agreement between Decca, Cencic and his pioneering music production company Parnassus Arts. Cencic's extensive CD catalogue has won many awards, including eleven prizes for his Faramondo, four for a recital of Handel arias, and Germany's prestigious Echo Klassik prize for his Duetti album. He sang the role of Valentiniano in a recording of Gluck's opera Ezio, which also won an Echo Klassik prize, as did Leonardo Vinci's Artaserse (all Virgin Classics). Cencic frequently appears in productions at major opera houses worldwide, including the Vienna State Opera, Bavarian State Opera, Semperoper Dresden, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Teatro Real in Madrid, Barcelona's Gran Teatre del Liceu, ThÚÔtre des Champs-ElysÚes in Paris, La Monnaie in Brussels, Geneva's Grand ThÚÔtre and Teatro Nacional de SÒo Carlos in Lisbon. In concert he has performed in such major venues as New York's Carnegie Hall, Barbican Centre in London, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Vienna's Musikverein, Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Palais Garnier in Paris and Tokyo's Opera Nomori, and at festivals in Ludwigsburg, Potsdam, Halle (Hõndel Festspiele), Spoleto (Due Mondi), Ambronay, Eisenstadt and Dubrovnik. He collaborates on a regular basis with conductors William Christie, RenÚ Jacobs, Ottavio Dantone, Diego Fasolis, Jean-Christophe Spinosi, George Petrou, Emmanuelle Ha´m, Fabio Biondi and Riccardo Muti. With his singularly beautiful voice, innately musical approach and ability to truly capture audiences, the future is surely looking bright for Max Emanuel Cencic. 10/2014 |

Next version of ubuntu to require 'multi-core hardware' and 'x86' or OpenGL.
Phoronix: Unity 2D To Go Away In Ubuntu 12.10
It appears that Unity 2D -- the Qt non-accelerated desktop version of the Ubuntu Unity desktop -- will be abandoned by Canonical. There's also going to be some GNOME 3.6 packages appearing in Ubuntu 12.10...
Next version of ubuntu to require 'multi-core hardware' and 'x86' or OpenGL.
what does this portend for devices like the pandaboard??
Well, the main Unity2D developer (Aurelien Gateau) quit from Canonical a while ago to work at Blue Systems on KDE software (he's originally a KDE developer best known for Gwenview). Despite having the better technological foundation, the move was to be expected. The devs of regular Unity have no clue at all about Qt and QML. Training them would be far more difficult than simply letting once again Red Hat to do the hard work on LLVMpipe and get software acceleration for Compiz-based regular Unity for free.
Don't most ARM devices have OpenGL acceleration?
Michael,LLVMpipe is bad for gaming, but good enough for a composited desktop experience.
We know you're capable of words with greater depth and less ambiguity than "good" and "bad". You might want to invest a larger portion of your time writing your articles. Here's an example of a 5 minute investment in that line:
Not only did I avoid the words "good" and "bad", I correctly avoided the missing "is" in the second half of your sentence. I still fail, because I didn't take the time to remove the first instance of "to be/is". After reading my version, the reader is reminded of what LLVMPIPE is, that only 3D game performance is insufficient, and that the composited desktops need to be OpenGL accelerated for LLVMPIPE to come into play. Yes, writing is hard. It gets easier as you do more of it, it comes out better when you spend a couple minutes figuring out what you're trying to say.While the performance of LLVMPIPE is insufficient to adequately run most 3D games, this CPU based GPU driver meets the requirements of many OpenGL composited desktops.
Asking from my own experience, have you considered an editor?
Not that I disagree with most of the way that you re-wrote Michael's sentence, I think you should also consider an editor "CPU based GPU driver" is a nonsense term. The terms "GPU" and "llvmpipe" should never be used in the same sentence, unless you are talking about the performance difference between using a driver that is hardware-accelerated by the GPU, versus llvmpipe (which is not).
Taking apart "CPU based GPU driver":
"CPU-based" = adjective
"GPU driver" = compound noun
Thus, dropping the adjective, you're saying that llvmpipe is a GPU driver. This is plain wrong. It is not.
llvmpipe is a Gallium3d driver, which simply provides software facilities that implement the same user-visible APIs as you would expect from 3d hardware (GPUs). The software facilities it provides are only run on the CPU. The GPU is a useless brick while llvmpipe is running. Your graphics card's display output chipset will be used, and depending on the status of your drivers, you might also be getting kernel mode setting or 2D hardware acceleration from your Xorg DDX and kernel bits.
In other words it should theoretically be possible to use a kernel driver and Xorg DDX for everything except OpenGL / GLX / the rest of the G3D state trackers, and to use llvmpipe for the things in that "except" list. You might see better performance / features / display compatibility with this compared to using VESA compatibility mode, where you use compatibility interfaces to the PCI bus for display output that have worked on every graphics card since the 90s. But display output is completely separate from using the GPU on modern graphics hardware.
OK, I'm done preaching. Just wanted to make that clear.
Would it be a real loss when somebody could not run unity? I guess not, there are so many other possibilities. When you think about llvmpipe as a temp. replacement until you install binary drivers then this would not be so bad, for old systems most likely different DE are better. I saw a presentation of unity's ideas a few years ago (before you could test it) and thought that might be something for small factor and touchpads. Well somehow now it is for any form factor. A similar approch is W8, one ui for every form factor. It has got a good side like everything is controlled the same way and another side is that you have got give up some years old behavior pattern. Nothing is really bad but it is nice to have got alternatives.
This makes me sad. I'm actually quite liking 12.04 on my wife's desktop after some minor tweaks. One of which was switching to unity-2d. 3D has some pretty annoying bugs with some opengl applications (wine in some instances, for one).


text: Can't say I blame them. This might well be something that needs to be done in order to keep surviving. Having 3-4 times more pirates then paying customers is not good at all, and if this helps LGP then so be it. I'm not going to care as long as this isn't any inconvenience for me as a customer.

Bikeshed refers to topics which have never recieved concensus and are likely to generate side-discussions and flames unless all participants are well-read on all the past history. It stems from the idea that big changes (like the building of a power plant) go through quickly, since everyone assumes that someone else has checked it out, while simple changes (like building a bikeshed) often get mired in bureaucracy, since everyone has an opinion on it.
Tom posted a bikeshed topic to the mailing list and awoke to 11,358 messages in his inbox.

Daily C Cleansing Scrub
Daily C Cleansing Scrub is an absorbent, water-soluble topical scrub that contains a tiny amount of vitamin C.
Moisture Stick
Moisture Stick is a mineral oil?based lip balm that works well as a basic remedy for dry lips.
Add to Faves?
Elizabeth Grant At-A-Glance
Strengths: Very good emollient lip balm; effective and gentle water-soluble cleansers.
Weaknesses: Expensive; repetitive selection of moisturizers and serums, all making similar claims and featuring similar formulas despite wide swings in price; no products to address skin discolorations or acne; no AHA or BHA product.
England-born former makeup artist Elizabeth Grant started her skin-care company over 40 years ago after a secret mixture of ingredients being used at the time to treat war wounds changed the way her injured skin looked. Or at least that's how the story goes. From there the tale continues that her makeup clients began commenting on how young her skin looked, and before long, products with this secret ingredient complex were being sold. Grant named her formulation Torricelumn, and dozens of products in her line contain it. Yet that should give you pause, because if it's the best thing since sliced bread, why not just put a strong dose of it in a single all-purpose product and watch it go to work? It turns out there is no such thing as "Torricelumn" or "Torricelumn Pur." These are just marketing terms the company uses to represent a previously unlisted assortment of plant extracts that includes Pikea robusta (algae), Ulva lactuca (sea lettuce), aloe vera juice, and chamomile.
Pikea robusta is a type of sea algae that Arch Chemicals (a raw material supplier) indicates can scavenge free radicals and reduce inflammation. They supply the ingredient complex that contains this substance, but their own research (which is hardly impartial) only examined this effect in vitro, making it a leap of faith to assume it will have the same effect on human skin (Source: www.mattek.com/pages/abstracts/335). The unidentified algae extract likely has antioxidant capability, the aloe has mild soothing properties, and chamomile is a potent anti-irritant. That's good and assuredly helpful for skin, but it's worth neither the expense nor the lofty claims Grant assigns to her Torricelumn complex. Furthermore, countless other skin-care products contain the same ingredients (with the exception of Pikea robusta) and many contain antioxidants that have substantially more research about their effectiveness than do the ingredients in these products. Above all, you need to know that none of these allegedly advanced ingredients are backed by a shred of evidence showing they can get rid of wrinkles, revive aging skin cells, or create any degree of firmness.
I found it both flattering and unsettling that Elizabeth Grant's Web site plagiarized information I wrote about how skin ages (and I mean verbatim) in my publications. On one hand she must believe my research and reporting to be valid, but what is truly ironic is that the claims she makes for her products don't at all match up with the information she usurped. How strange! She uses my material to give her products and Web site credibility, and yet the formulas her company sells are hardly state-of-the-art, there are no sunscreens, and the excessive prices are ludicrous.

This is the second article in our four-part series exploring quantum electrodynamics. After successfully applying quantum mechanics to the electromagnetic field, physicists faced a problem of boundless proportions: every calculation they made returned infinity as the answer. |
Are number, space and time features of the outside world or a result of the brain circuitry we have developed to live in it? Some interesting parallels between modern neuroscience and the mathematics of 19th century mathematician Bernard Riemann. |
Remember how hard it was to fold maps? Mathematicians have struggled with map folding problems for ages but a recent insight suggests there might be another way to approach them, making an unlikely connection between combinatorics, origami and engineering. |
In soccer a coin toss is used to decide who goes first in a penalty shootout and similarly in American football a coin decides who plays offence in overtime. But is this really fair? This article explores an alternative. |
Space is the stage on which physics happens. It's unaffected by what happens in it and it would still be there if everything in it disappeared. This is how we learn to think about space at school. But the idea is as novel as it is out-dated. |
The number pi can be expressed beautifully in terms of infinite sums. For practical purposes though, these sums are rather disappointing: they converge slowly, so you need to sum a large number of terms to get accurate estimates of pi. Here's a clever way to make them converge faster. |

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
Heaven and Earth Near the end of a particularly trying round of golf, a golfer said in frustration to his caddy, "I'd move heaven and earth to break 100 on this course." "Try heaven," said the caddy. "You've already moved most of the earth."
Betty Crocker One day, a woman came up to her husband and told him that the TV was broken and she was missing her shows. "Does it say cable repairman anywhere on my forehead?" he asked. "No," she said. A few minutes later she came back and told him that the porch was breaking and it was dangerous. "Does it say carpenter anywhere on my forehead?" he asked. "No," she said again. A few minutes later, she came back and told him the toilet was backed up. "Does it say 'plumber' anywhere on my forehead?" he asked. "No," she replied. A couple of days later he went on a business trip. When he came back he asked how things had been. "Well," she said, "our neighbor down the street came over and fixed our TV, repaired our porch and unclogged our pipes." "What did he ask for in payment?" he wondered. "All he asked for was a chocolate cake or sex," she told him. "What did you do?" he asked. She looked at him smugly and said, "Do you see Betty Crocker written anywhere on my forehead?"
Old Man Murphy Old man Murphy had worked down at the brewery for years, but one day he just wasn't paying attention and he tripped on the walkway and fell over into the beer vat and drowned. The foreman thought it should be his job to inform the widow Murphy of her old man's death. He showed up at the front door and rang the bell. When she came to the door, he said, "I'm sorry to tell you, but poor old Murphy passed away at work today when he fell into the vat and drowned." She wept and covered her face with her apron and after a time, between sobs, she asked, "Tell me, did he suffer?" "I don't think so," said the foreman: "He got out three times to go to the men's room."
Unscrupulous Businessman An unscrupulous businessman was feeling very ill and went to the doctor. The doctor examined him and backed away, saying, "I'm sorry to tell you this, but you have an advanced case of highly infectious rabies. You must have had it for some time. It will almost certainly be fatal." "Could you give me a pen and paper?" said the businessman. "Do you want to write your will?" "No, I want to make a list of all the people I want to bite."
Nude Beach Two parents take their son on a vacation and go to a nude beach. The father goes for a walk on the beach and the son goes and plays in the water. The son comes running up to his mom and says, "Mommy, I saw ladies with boobies a lot bigger than yours!" The mother says, "The bigger they are, the dumber they are." So he goes back to play. Several minutes later he comes running back and says, "Mommy, I saw men with penises a lot bigger than Daddy's!" The mother says, "The bigger they are, the dumber they are." So he goes back to play. Several minutes later he comes running back and says, "Mommy, I just saw Daddy talking to the dumbest lady I ever saw and the more and more he talked, the dumber and dumber he got!"
Attorney Afterlife An attorney passed on and found himself in Heaven, but not at all happy with his accommodations. He complained to St. Peter, who told him that his only recourse was to appeal his assignment. The attorney said that he intended to appeal, but was then told that he would be waiting for at least three years before his appeal could be heard. The attorney protested that a three year wait was unconscionable, but his words fell on deaf ears. The lawyer was then approached by the devil, who told him that he would be able to arrange an appeal to be heard in a few days, if the attorney was willing to move to Hell. When the attorney asked why appeals could be heard so much sooner in Hell, the Devil glibly replied, "We have all of the judges."
Last Requests Three women are about to be executed. One is a brunette, one is a redhead and one is a blonde. Two guards bring the brunette forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready... Aim..." Suddenly the brunette yells, "Earthquake!!" Everyone is startled and looks around. She manages to escape. The angry guards then bring the redhead forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready... Aim..." The redhead then screams, "Tornado!!" Yet again, everyone is startled and looks around. She too escapes execution. By this point, the blonde had figured out what the others did. The guards bring her forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She also says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready... Aim..." The blonde shouts, "Fire!!"

For weeks we've been passing through the construction zone and L has been talking about the new chairs. The two new chairs. The chairs for her and her sister; did we see the chairs? It took some crazy traffic incident this morning that brought us to an extended standstill at exactly the right place in the road, but L was so excited to be able, finally, to show us the chairs.
Look, E! Our chairs! You can sit in one and I can sit in one!
Now, you either know me in real life or you don't, but if you've been reading here for any length of time you know that E would never consider sitting in chairs way up in the air like that (never mind that those aren't actually chairs; they're some kind of apparatus for attaching traffic lights, I think, that aren't yet attached). But L doesn't have E's compunctions. And I do believe, if shown the ladder, L just might climb up there and enjoy the view.
One of my favorite people from high school had a grandmother we liked to visit who lived in a great Victorian home on a little country road just off a four-lane highway. We would spend summer afternoons there because her grandparents had a pool, but also because her grandmother baked her own bread and liked to feed it to us. There was always a butter dish on the counter, and we were always in it. When we were swim-tired and butter-filled, we'd take a walk down to where the street crossed over the four-lane highway. Sometimes we'd climb the outer truss of the bridge. I'd never go further out than over the grassy downslope that led to the highway pavement. Sometimes my friend would go much further. I'd watch the cars pass below and feel their speed in the air currents that rose up to us. The universe below us was just concrete and gravel and bits of broken grass, and a grassy downslope and contained units of other people's lives, but not other people -- just their bubbles, passing under us with their own conversations and fears and thoughts and cowardices -- and disappearing, never looking up, never noticing two girls sitting on the outer truss of a bridge.
That was my up in the air, but I stayed over the grass because I could never feel blithely confident to go further. I was never untethered from worry.
L doesn't understand the full implications of falling through gravity through concrete, but she's not tethered by worry. She could sit in those chairs.
E is too tethered by worry. She wouldn't even climb the ladder, if there were one.
I have seen L do three things this week that were small, ordinary things, but that would have been big, scary things for her big sister:
- while having lunch at Noodles&Co., L dropped her fork on the floor. I sent her to ask the cashier for another, and she walked the length of the restaurant on her own, asked politely, and came back with a new fork.
- after she had her hair cut, I handed her a few dollars and asked her to walk back to the stylist and give them to her. L did, with a smile.
- when she had pink eye and I had to spread medicine goo on her eyelashes, all I had to do was ask her to close her eyes. The sensation of the medicine didn't bother her; nor did the idea of it in advance of the actual application.
We used tools like graph paper and CAD software to lay out the walls for each exhibit. But the gallery preparator, my professor, he'd just place a ladder against one and climb on top. The walls were four inches thick. He'd walk across them like the orangutans on the high wire at the zoo. None of us ever felt sure-footed enough to walk on 4" wide walls twelve feet above a marble floor. But he did so daily, and always said, "it's only risky if you fall."
He believed he would not fall, and he did not fall.
Like the overpass by Granny Mc's house, I've never been able to believe that completely, nor, on the other side, to stop worrying about the fall. L could believe in not falling, and E could be consumed by the worrying. It's one of the only ways they're very different.
None of those three moments this week was a criticism of E, of course. But each of those moments was a revelation about L. I've needed reminders to let her be bold. I'll have the memories of watching her speak casually to strangers, but even better, every day, I'll have the aerial chairs of Georgia Avenue.

"The one thing is we strive to get the call correct," Farrell said. "I think based on the group conversation, surprisingly to a certain extent, they overturned it and got the call right."
NOTES: St. Louis' Allen Craig started at designated hitter, his first action since Sept. 4, and he went 1-for-4. He was sidelined due to a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot. ... Cardinals OF Shane Robinson started in place of CF Jon Jay for a second consecutive game after going 2-for-4 with two RBIs last Friday in the Game 6 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers that clinched the National League Championship Series. However, Jay entered the game to play center and Robinson moved to right after Beltran was injured. ... Red Sox RHP Clay Buchholz will start either Game 3 on Saturday night or Game 4 on Sunday night after there was question whether he would be able to pitch in the series because of arm fatigue. ... Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski threw the ceremonial first pitch. ... St. Louis rookie RHP Michael Wacha (4-1, 2.78 ERA regular season; 3-0, 0.43 postseason) will start against Boston RHP John Lackey (10-13, 3.52; 2-0, 3.00) on Thursday night in Game 2.

How about some smoked or cured fish, trout, salmon?? I like anchovies but the smoked fish might be even better as long as it's not over done. Just another idea to toss out there.Jon
Made this tonight.Grande mozz, roasted cauliflower, pancetta, pinenuts and pickled hot cherry peppers. Finished w EVO and black plepper. Was pretty tasty. The cherry peppers gave a little vinegary spicy kick to cut through the otherwise rich flavors.
that pie looks quite nice!!jon

We are so excited to be a part of Lowe's $50 and Change Project . . .
I had so many DIY projects that I have been meaning to do that I didn't know where to start. One thing that I have always wanted to do is make some huge frames to put on a big empty wall in my front room. I have always loved the large decorative frames that you can purchase, but they usually come with a hefty price tag. I decided that I could make my own using some of the gorgeous crown moulding from Lowe's for much less than what you would pay if you bought one.
I headed over to Lowe's to check out all their crown moulding options . . . holy cow! They had tons!!! I chose a piece of crown moulding that was 4 1/4″ wide and 8 feet long. I wanted 3 big frames, so I purchased three pieces (one piece of moulding per frame).
Take your piece of crown moulding and measure a 45 degree angle at one end. I found it easiest to use a miter box saw, which you can find at Lowe's for a couple of bucks. It definitely makes cutting your perfect angles a lot easier!
After you make your first cut, decide how large you want your picture to be in the frame. I decided that I wanted my picture to be a 12×12″, so the INSIDE measurement of the frame is 12″. I made a mark where I needed to make my next 45 degree angle cut.
Cut the other side- make sure that your angles are going in opposite directions!
Go back to your large piece of crown moulding and cut your next piece with 45 degree angles. You will have to cut a small triangle piece like this each time to make your 4 equal sides of the frame. Repeat the steps to cut all 4 pieces.
Lay all your pieces together and make sure that they fit. Sand down the edges of each piece so that they are smooth and lay flush when pieced together with the other sides of the frame.
Using wood glue, glue the ends together.
To insure a seamless frame, I used tie downs to secure our frame in place while the wood glue dried. You could also use clamps.
Once the glue is completely dry (I let mine sit overnight), use L-shaped corner brace to reinforce your frame.
You will want to make sure that your screws for the corner braces are not longer than the depth of your frame (the first screws that we used went all the way through our frame! Oops!).
Next comes the fun part- spray paint! I used Valspar Indigo Streamer (a blue color) and Golden Maize (a yellow color).
I ended up spraying each frame with 2 coats and it was more than enough.
I took some pictures of my kids and had them printed at Sam's Club for less than $3 each.
To put them in the frames, I actually just glued each picture onto a large piece of cardboard that was cut a little bigger than the picture (the picture was 12×12″ and the cardboard was 13×13″). I then hot glued the cardboard to the back of the frame and we were good to go!
Each picture frame was about $20 to make . . . I made the three of them for about $60 total!
I love the way that fill up my entire wall and add a pop of color to my room!
These frames would make a great Christmas gift if you have someone who is hard to shop for on your list this year!

Swarm of bees delays flight for 3 hours
US Airways flight was headed from North Carolina to Indianapolis
POSTED: 01:52 PM MDT Jul 25, 2013
UPDATED: 08:38 AM MDT Jul 26, 2013
A US Airways Express flight taking off from North Carolina was delayed after a swarm of bees kept crews from rolling the plane back from the gate.
According to The Associated Press, US Airways spokesman Davien Anderson said Flight 2690 to Indianapolis had boarded and was ready for departure from Charlotte Douglas International Airport. That's when Anderson says a worker approached the back of the plane to get it ready to leave the gate and noticed the bees. The worker was unable to properly prepare the flight for takeoff for fear of being stung.
Eventually a beekeeper captured the bees. None of the bees got inside the cabin, and no injuries were reported.

Time for fsck me thinks.
Hi guys, would appriciate if you could help me with this one. We have our intranet/website hosted on a remote Linux ubuntu 2.6.17-11 server. I have logged onto the server as root through putty and was buzzy backing up and compressing a directory using
tar czvf tarfile.tar.gz dir_to_tar
command and half way through process I got a read-only file system error and all the file on the system seem to have been changed to read-only files.
This I can fix with the
mount -n -o remount /
But every time when I upload a few files with my Ftp client(Filezilla) the same thing happens and I have to log in with PUTTY and run "mount -n -o remount" to fix the problem.
It all started with me backing up that directory, it might have been because someone had a file open on the intranet or something.
Time for fsck me thinks.
Yes, That Linux distro defaults to remounting a filesystem in read-only if it encounters an error, which is what must be happening here.
A filesystem check will be needed at the very least, but since it's the root filesystem, you may need to boot from a CD to make sure it can be done safely. / may be mounted as read-only at best (or even better, not mounted at all) if you want to fsck safely.
Probably best to trigger the error or remount -o ro, then fsck.(or boot the server in single-user- or recovery-mode but AFAIK even then the root fs is already mounted read-write)
A possible explanation for the behaviour is a latent error already present on that filesystem (caused by random user wickedness or maybe faulty hardware, I had this frequently on my home PC until I found out the BIOS clock setting for the PCI bus was too high, way over 33 MHz).
Another possible explanation is that the file you're tar-gz-ing over to that fs is larger than the filesystem or server can support.
File transfer and creation triggers error on the filesystem, Linux responds as designed and remounts it read-only.
There have been some notorious ftp and tar (2GB and 2TB limits come to mind) issues like that with various Linux distros in the past though I thought they had been ironed out by now.
Regardless of the cause, an fsck is very likely necessary, after which, if the problem happens again, you'll know that a server or filesystem setting (largefiles?) is preventing it from properly receiving and storing that tgz file for one reason or another.

List of pre-draft player visits - 4-13
Bob Labriola - Steelers.com
Posted 8 hours ago
aaAll NFL teams are permitted to visit with 30 college players in advance of the 2010 NFL Draft on April 22-23-24. Not counting against the total of 30 are any players who are considered local to a particular franchise.
After linebackers Sean Lee and Jerry Hughes completed their pre-draft visits on Tuesday, April 13, the Steelers had entertained 32 prospects. Their two local players were Lee, who attended was Upper St. Clair High School just south of the city; and tight end Rob Gronkowski, who attended Woodland Hill High School just east of Pittsburgh.
Lee, 6-foot-2, 236-pounds, is a former team captain at Penn State who recorded 324 tackles in 36 games over the 2006, 2007 and 2009 seasons. He missed 2008 with a torn ACL.
Hughes, 6-2, 255, from Texas Christian, led the nation in sacks in 2008 when he posted 15, and in 2009 he followed up with 11.5 more when he won the Hendricks Award as the best defensive end in college football. During those last two seasons, Hughes also had eight forced fumbles, two interceptions and four passes batted down.
On Monday, April 12, the Steelers visited with wide receiver Antonio Brown, 5-10, 196, of Central Michigan; and defensive end Alex Carrington, 6-5, 285, of Arkansas State.
Of the 32 players the Steelers have had in for visits, there have been seven linebackers, seven wide receivers, six offensive linemen, four defensive lineman, three cornerbacks, three safeties, one running back and one tight end.
On Friday, April 9 the Steelers visited with wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders, 5-11, 186, from SMU, and Rejus Benn, 6-1, 219, from Illinois. Also brought in that day was safety Earl Thomas, 5-10, 208, from Texas.
On April 8, the Steelers visited with guard Mike Iupati, 6-5, 331, from Idaho; and center Maurkice Pouncey, 6-4, 301, from Florida. The defensive linemen were Clifton Geathers, 6-7, 299, from South Carolina and Linval Joseph, 6-4, 328, from East Carolina. Also making a visit was wide receiver Carlton Mitchell, 6-3, 215, from South Florida; and tight end Rob Gronkowski, 6-6, 264, from Arizona.
On April 7, the team visited with wide receivers Dez Bryant, 6-2, 225, from Oklahoma State, and Golden Tate, 5-10, 199, from Notre Dame; running back LeGarrette Blount, 6-0, 241, from Oregon; and linebackers Koa Misi, 6-3, 251, from Utah, and Adrian Tracy, 6-3, 248, from William & Mary.
On April 6, the Steelers entertained offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga, 6-5, 315, from Iowa. Bulaga is considered a first-round talent in the upcoming draft.
The Steelers ended their first week of pre-draft visits on Thursday, April 1 by meeting with defensive back Brandon Ghee, 6-0, 192, from Wake Forest; and linebacker Eric Norwood, 6-1, 245, from South Carolina.
On March 31, the Steelers brought in cornerback Nolan Carroll, 6-0, 200, from Maryland; cornerback Kareem Jackson, 5-11, 190, from Alabama; cornerback Kyle Wilson, 5-10, 190, from Boise State; wide receiver Joe Webb, 6-3, 223, from Alabama-Birmingham; and linebacker Albert McClellan, 6-1, 247, from Marshall.
On March 30, it was guard Jacques McClendon, 6-3, 324, from Tennessee; and tackle Rodger Saffold, 6-5, 315, from Indiana.
On March 29, the Steelers visited with defensive lineman Michael Neal, 6-3, 294, from Purdue; guard Chris DeGeare, 6-4, 325, from Wake Forest; safety Darrell Stuckey, 6-0, 205, from Kansas; and linebacker Navorro Bowman, 6-2, 242, from Penn State.

Arranged by presumed draft value, per NFLDS, with stats and notes.
1.10 Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa, 6'6" 314#.
Looks unlikely to get past teams like KC, Seattle, Buffalo, and SF. Solid OT with LT capability.
1.14 Earl Thomas, FS, Texas, 5'10" 202#.
Berry and Thomas are 1a and 1b, with 44 and 43 PD respectively. That stat drops off precipitously to the next layer of S talent (Morgan Burnett, e.g.). Mayock is a good DB evaluator and likes him better than Berry. Great ballhawk, but how strong vs. the run? A definite target, but lots of teams in our range will be looking. Good, not great, FS talent in R2.
1.18 Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma St., 6'2" 224#.
Looked like a top-10 lock until recently: might lack focus and dedication (a diva), and Randy Moss he ain't. Over-rated IMO, with better values elsewhere. Pass.
1.19 Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho, 6'5" 331#
. Seemingly every mock has us taking him. Abused at Senior Bowl, but great upside, including possibly one or both OT spots. Going to have to trust the FO eval on this one, but my gut says yes if an OT, no if just an OG.
1.27 Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida, 6'5" 304#
. Some mocks have him going mid-R1, so 1.18 is not out of the question. Ideally, picked up in a trade-back. Not as polished as Mangold or Mack or Wood, but could have really nice upside and can play OG. RG is our first OL upgrade need, then C, BTW.
1.29 Jerry Hughes, OLB, TCU, 6'2" 255#.
Hughes and Brandon Graham are the top DE-to-OLB convos in the draft. High motor guy, racked up sacks, but questionable versus the run. Not high on my list for that alone.
1.31 Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame, 5'10" 199#.
Scrappy former RB who makes things happen after the catch and draws comparisons (from others) to Hines Ward. Needs to work on route running, and not the biggest WR, but a guy who made things happen every week for the Golden Domers.
1.33 Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama, 5'11" 196#.
A nice corner who's really 5'10", with some questions versus the run. People love this guy, but I wonder if he's more a NCB in our system: we already have that in Gay.
1.38 Rodger Saffold, OT, Indiana, 6'5" 316#.
An under the radar guy until the Shrine Game and combine; getting over-rated now? Can play both OG and OT spots, and could be a solid value as a flex OL guy, possibly a Marvel Smith type LT. Sort of in no-man's land of draft value between our R1 and R2 picks.
To be continued...
Sean Lee
Antonio Brown
Alex Carrington
Emmanuel Sanders
Arrelious Benn
Clifton Geathers
Linval Joseph
Carlton Mitchell
Rob Gronkowski
LeGarrette Blount
Koa Misi
Adrian Tracy
Brandon Ghee
Eric Norwood
Nolan Carroll
Joe Webb
Albert McClellan
Jacques McClendon
Mike Neal

Eh, I still say that if they're considering a WR in R1 or even R2, really, I'd make an offer to Brandon Marshall and part with their first rounder.
And yes, I see the ironing in getting rid of one "problem" WR and getting another. Still, he's a top 3 WR.
Besides, Pittsburgh has to get back some of that street cred they lost. Can't let the Jets sign all the punks...

Should we take a chance on Dez Bryant?
Position: Wide Receiver
School: Oklahoma State University
Class: Junior
Height: 6-2
Weight: 225
DOB: November 4 1988 (Lufkin, Texas)
ProsGreat size at 6-2 220
Excellent leaping ability, attacks ball at its highest point
Great ball skills, makes good mid air adjustments, and rarely doesn't come down with a jump ball
Good Hands, rarely drops passes
Very agile and elusive in the open field despite his size
Very Productive, 25 TD's in his last 16 games
Smart on the field
Runs tough with the ball, hard to bring down
Physical Receiver
ConsOnly played 3 games his junior season, (NCAA Suspension)
Does not have great speed
Doesn't always run sharp routes
Needs to get quicker off the ball and in and out of cuts
OverallDez Bryant is far and away the best Wide Receiver in this years draft, he has a great blend of size and athletic ability, he is a physical receiver who can go up and get a jump ball over any defensive back in the league, he is a touchdown machine and there is no reason why he can't produce at a high level in the Pro's. Although he doesn't posses elite speed for a wide receiver, he is definitely fast enough to make it in the pro's. Some other things teams will take a look at is lack of good technique in route running, he does get lazy from time to time in his routes, and will be a lot better if he improves in that area. Don't expect this past years suspension to be a big knock on his draft stock, what he was suspended for was not all that serious and isn't damning of his character, as long as he keeps in good shape for his pro-day it won't matter. Bryant draws a good comparison to Broncos WR Brandon Marshall. He will be the first receiver off the board no doubt.

I think I would've preferred to part with their '10 R1 pick vs. a '10 R2+'11 R2.
Interesting that Teats was willing to take on the risk that is Brandon Marshall. This is the same guy that couldn't even bring himself to utter TO's name back when he was coaching the Cowboys.
I guess they're the same, but they're also kinda different too. Both immature crybabies, but one is a cancer to teammates and team chemistry while the other is just a selfish dick.
For a team that "throws to open up the run," adding a guy that snares 100+ receptions per year would've put them right back in the mix as one of the most explosive offenses in the league. I mean, as much as I like Ward and Wallace, they're not going to instill any fear on opposing defenses.
Collectively, this team is looking very, very average right now. Hell, with the age of the defense at key positions coupled with the average to below average offensive line and loss of a big weapon in Holmes, average might be optimistic.
A solid draft this year would obviously help, but I think it's gonna take a good one this year and next to get back on track.
Remember boring offseasons?

Marshall's rookie season he grabbed 20 balls for 309 yards.
Wallace snagged 39 for 756 yards.
Just sayin'.
Don't want Dez Bryant, don't think he's a legit WR1 and we can do just as well later, didn't want Brandon Marshall, EOS for me.
BTW, you want a Brandon Marshall in the 2010 draft? How about a guy who's 6'3", 215# and runs a 4.46?
Quote from: NFLDS
A physical receiver in the mold of Denver's Brandon Marshall, Mitchell became the Big East Conference's premier deep threat as a junior, despite missing several games with an ankle sprain. He played in just 37 games for the Bulls, but he set both the school career (1,648) and season (706 in 2009) records for receiving yardage.
"Carlton can flat fly," USF wide receivers coach Phil McGeoghan stated recently. "He has all the tools, all the ability. He is very diligent in his route running and his assignments. He is getting better, I see him improving everyday. He comes out here, works early and stays late. Carlton Mitchell is just a very talented guy who is big, tall, athletic, and has all the gifts you want in a receiver."
Dude visited us and should be a R2 pick for someone.
