Susan Turner is looking to feed some hungry mouths breakfast — for dinner.
She and her brother, Steve Lovick, own Lovick's Café at 320 N. Herritage St. They tried the idea a couple of years ago, but when Turner became ill, she stopped. Now, she's started it up again serving breakfast on Monday nights.
"I just decided to try it again to see if it would pan out," she said, "and it's done good."
The Broadway family of Kinston agree that it's a good idea. There were several members of their family having breakfast Monday night.
Murrell Broadway said he's been eating at Lovick's for years.
"I just like breakfast food," he said.
Michael Broadway said breakfast is a comfort food — and it was perfect for a rainy evening like Monday was.
Joan Broadway doesn't want a big meal in the morning.
"It just seems nice to be able to have breakfast at night," she said.
Glenn Potter of Kinston said his favorite breakfast foods are eggs and sausage. His wife often makes breakfast for dinner when no one in the family can decide what to eat, he said.
Jimmy Capps of Kinston has been coming to Lovick's since he was 5 years old and enjoys the food, especially the country sausage, and meeting with friends.
"(Breakfast is) a very nutritious meal to have for the evening," he said.
Turner said Monday is a good day to have an extended day after Sunday's day of rest. The restaurant normally serves breakfast and lunch Monday through Saturday.
Along with the traditional breakfast menu, they serve soup, salad and baked spaghetti.
"We sell a lot of pancakes," Turner said.
Those pancakes are made from scratch. Pork chops and eggs are best sellers, too.
Turner takes pride in her food presentation.
"I like to put out a pretty plate," she said.
Lovick's is open for dine-in, call-in and take-out 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturdays, as well as 5-7:30 p.m. Mondays for breakfast. For information, call 252-523-6854.
Hammer Out CrossFit is holding a grand opening 1-9 p.m. Sunday at Fairfield Plaza on West Vernon Avenue, next to Blockbuster.
CrossFit, with a popularity that has swept across the nation, not only provides a fitness training program for law enforcement, fire departments, military and school athletes, but for folks who just want to get fit, as well.
Kinston residents Jeremiah Hilterbrand, a fitness trainer, and Kay Oakes Boykin, a nurse, are opening the Kinston business. Kay Taylor, a nurse and Boykin's sister, will be assisting them.
Hilterbrand, 25, started working out during a two-year stint in the U.S. Marine Corp. At some point, the success of his workouts seemed to diminish, so he began researching what he could be doing wrong.
"I ended up finding out the right way to work out," he said. His positive results had people coming to him asking him to train them.
Hilterbrand became certified through AFPA in Wilmington and Rush Fitness Center in Ashville. He moved back to Kinston and began working at Galaxy of Sports.
After becoming manager and seeing CrossFit on ESPN, he decided to open a CrossFit center.
"I wanted to bring something new that (other sport centers) weren't offering," he said.
CrossFit gives a varied workout to all the muscle groups and participants age 14 and up compete against themselves to improve their fitness level.
"There's so many different movements," Hilterbrand said, "that you have to use every single muscle that you have."
Yet, the program is scaled to a person's ability. Hilterbrand said he is currently training an 87-year-old woman, according to her ability. He also trained Boykin.
Boykin and Taylor plan to operate a nonprofit arm of CrossFit called The Mighty Hammers in January. This program will target obese and high-risk children.
Beginning next week, Hammer Out CrossFit will be open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 7 p.m. Sundays. Hours are subject to change. For more information, call 252-208-1605.
North Carolina Weekend on UNC-TV will be showing a segment featuring Morris Barbecue in Hookerton. The program will air 8:30 p.m. tonight and 10 a.m. Saturday. It will also appear on UNC-TV's Explorer Channel at 10 p.m. tonight, and 12 a.m. and 8 a.m. Saturday.

Innovative (and Absurd) Ways Companies Are Attracting Tech Talent
A Week for CharityLivestock, an Iron Man Helmet & a BicycleFree Maid Service & a Dinosaur HoodieA Trip to ThailandSabbaticals & PuppiesMassages and WhiskeyCash Wrapped in BaconGlobetrottingA DateEntrepreneurship ClassesA YachtA YurtBocce & Tidy Eyebrows
The shortage of computer-programming talent is persistent and growing, at least in perception. In a survey by the Technology Councils of North America, the vast majority of small-business executives said they'd be hiring developers within the next 12 months, and 69 percent said they thought there was a shortage of talent. As the likes of Google and Facebook drive up salaries, small companies are competing for top software engineers by offering a new level of perks that goes far beyond standbys like free meals, transit, and laundry service.--Christine Lagorio-Chafkin
Unlimited time off? That's so obvious. New hires at Sojern, a San Francisco-based ad platform that targets travelers, also get 40 hours of paid time to benefit others. Employees can volunteer for the equivalent of a week each year on the company clock. It's good for the community, sure--and new research shows volunteering might even be good for one's health.
Amicus, the New York City-based company that helps nonprofits fundraise, of course has a feel-good perk upon joining its team: It will donate a cow to a family in need in a developing country through Heifer International. But what fun would warm fuzzies be without some swag? On offer at Amicus are an adult mask from Iron Man 3 (why not?), an iPad, $2,000 in cash, all you can drink of your favorite beverage, and a fixed-gear bicycle.
Like many companies, San Francisco-based startup Exec, which facilitates on-demand home cleaning, incorporates its business service into its perks. Employees get free house cleaning, as well free errands run for them (another service the company facilitates). On top of that, free lunch and dinner are catered daily, and every hire gets a custom dinosaur hoodie, which the executive team is known to wear when hanging out en masse around San Francisco.
Time.ly, a Vancouver-based startup that makes calendar software, allows hires to work flexibly from home and to have a great deal of autonomy at work. But the biggest perk of joining the team? Being able to join on coding retreats to exotic locations. Its latest job posts add another, similar enticement: "In fact, if you join us now, we'll fly you to Thailand to join the team in Bangkok."
At Autodesk, an international company headquartered in Mill Valley, California, that makes 3D design software, it's common sense that two weeks off a year just isn't enough. Every few years, employees are eligible for a six-week sabbatical. There's a perk on regular workdays, too: Dogs are always allowed in the office.
Get a job at San Francisco-based salon-booking website StyleSeat, and your coif will never be unruly. That's because the company gives you a budget for haircuts, massages, and shaves. There are also regular happy hours for the team, and new hires are indoctrinated into the "Whiskey of the Month" club.
Scopely, a Los Angeles-based mobile-entertainment company, is used to putting its money where its mouth is in terms of hiring. It offers a $5,000 referral bonus, and, during one unusual recruiting campaign, offered hiring bonuses of $11,000 in "bacon-wrapped cash," along with a year's supply of beer, a custom-made tuxedo, and an oil painting of the new employee.
San Francisco-based Airbnb, which lists apartment rentals across the globe, is well known for being a dog-friendly workplace. It's also embracing its role as a travel company, providing each new hire with a $2,000 stipend to go somewhere exotic and check out the local digs. Just working out of the SF HQ can feel like a trip: Conference rooms are decorated to look like rental listings from far-flung locales.
Playing on the stereotype of the lonely, loveless programmer, Zoosk earlier this year offered to put every new hire into the running to win a date with either "Samantha" or "Steve." This isn't totally condescending, nor random: Zoosk is an online dating site based in San Francisco.
If you're working at a startup, you are pretty likely to get the itch to start out on your own. But most companies won't hold your hand as you jump ship. Enter Redfin. At its headquarters in Seattle, the real estate site not only encourages every engineer and project manager to take ownership of a "significant set of features," but also hosts courses on entrepreneurship to feed its engineers' desires to learn more about being a founder.
At iCracked, a San Francisco-based provider of iPhone repair services, the main perk for new hires is pegged to the location: free, unlimited rides on the company's yacht, which iCracked claims is "parked right outside the office on the water." That's on top of endless food, free gym membership, and "pretty much whatever else you want."
Well, hopefully someday. RapGenius, the Brooklyn, New York-based rap, rock, news, and poetry-annotation site, is building a new headquarters in Williamsburg. Its founders tell Inc. they are dreaming up some major perks for developers, such as individual huts (indoors) for each programmer, replete with all the hardware they want, and a porch.
Google's numerous perks are legendary: on-campus scooters, unlimited snacks, even allowing employees to spend 20 percent of their time on their own ideas. The search giant paved the way for a lot of the other companies whose insane perks made this list. But did you know the company also offers recreational bocce games and on-site spa services, including eyebrow-shaping? Yup. Here are more of some Google employees' favorite perks.

3+ days is too short for you? I replaced my GSIII's battery with a Gorilla replacement battery, and it goes at least three days between charges, with GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, making calls, etc.
My LG Thrill (getting a little long in the tooth) might last a few hours with both GPS and WiFi on. Bluetooth doesn't drain it as fast as long as I have a paired device also on. Seems like any sort of "roaming/searching" really kills the battery. But the phone itself does that when I'm out of coverage.

I'm going with 50% bigger, because a modern smart-phone is as a rule no more than 50% battery by volume, and increasing the thickness 50% and filling the entire space with a battery means at least double the runtime. (In the N900 particularly, the battery is much less than half the volume, so I'd get much more than 100% runtime increase -- which goes perfectly with a Neo900 kit.)
"50% more battery efficient" is a sucker's choice, because that only gets you 50% more, not >= 100% more.

In an ideal world, it would also have an accessible battery-release button, so I can slide it out and slot in another in ten seconds or less, and charge the spare (or three) in my car or on my wall. Give it a little backup battery, say 15 minutes worth, to stay alive while the big one is being swapped and I'd be totally happy.
A lot of add-on battery cases:
1. trap heat from your hard working smart phone
2. screw with your reception
3. come with shitty batteries that lose their capacity within a week or two.
Alternatively, smartphone mfgs could thicken up their anorexic phones by 2mm or 3mm and double your battery life.
I imagine Apple could find a way to do this and charge you an extra hundred dollars for the privilege or only having to charge once a day instead of twice.

by ctrl-alt-canc (977108) on Thursday November 28, 2013 @10:48AM (#45548555)...but does it exist ? I am afraid the answer is no.
Tracfone that I keep fully charged and in my pocket, but nearly always turned off.
I make 1-2 outbound calls a month on it, it's there for 911 if I need it and it's not a distraction that way.
Is still nothing.
And I like it that way.
by Stolpskott (2422670) on Friday November 29, 2013 @11:18AM (#45555309)
Old fart making a comment, here. As long as I can make calls with it, the rest is fluff and window dressing. If it were not for the fact that my employer has standardized on the iPhone, I would not touch one of them. The one bright spot being that, as I have an iPhone, I am better able to support my girlfriend's iPhone and the iPhones of everyone else in the family. Because as the tech guy of the group, no matter what I say they all bring their iPhones to me when they have a problem.
But... 50% Faster?
My phone makes calls, looks up numbers and addresses in my contact list, and occasionally acts as a GPS navigation aid when I am going somewhere new. That is about it. I have a few games on there for when my girlfriend's nephews and nieces are bored, and that is about it. So if my phone needs to be 50% faster to do what I need to do, then there is something wrong with the phone.
50% Cheaper?
My employer pays for it, so what do I care what it costs?
50% Smaller?
I have big hands, so a smaller phone than I have feels a bit awkward.
50% Bigger?
ok, maybe not 50% bigger, but slightly larger would be a bit more comfortable. Nothing to write home about though.
50% Lighter?
Seriously, I barely notice the weight of the thing as it is. If anything, make it 50% heavier and more rugged - waterproof and drop-proof would be more interesting than lighter (and presumably more easily broken).
Battery Efficient?
ok, I could take this one as a runner up to my choice. Recharging every 3-4 hours because I have been on the phone to a client for 2 hours is a bit of a pain, but I spent so long with a desk phone that I am still used to being tied to a desk when on the phone anyway.
50% of the Known Universe?
There are enough black holes in the phone's operating system already, without adding a few from the Universe. Although throwing data into a Black Hole would be a cool way of deleting it...
So my choice. 50% more secure.
In fact, don't stop at 50%. Give me 200%, or 500%. If I am making a call, I want to know that it is secure. I am not discussing National Security or making Terrorist plans to blow up America, but I do not want anyone listening in on my girlfriend and I making small talk... especially not my wife
Similarly, I want to know that whatever I load on the phone is not going to start sending my data to someone somewhere unless I specifically want it sent. My phone, my data, my control. Is that too much to ask, NSA???

Recent West Tremont Reviews
Perfect Vacation
This was our second stay at Cove House. The home has a great layout for our group of 7. We love the quiet of the location, the views out the back, and the quality of the home and furnishings. We would gladly recommend this rental to others!
Property lovely, well maintained and secluded.
I keep returning to this rental as it feels like a home away from home. The location is outstanding, with access to views of the water and sunsets. The listing description is accurate and the amenities are more than advertised. The house is exceptionally well organized and maintained. Walk in and you are home.The house is outfitted with all your needs from bedding to binoculars. The kitchen has everything you have at home including all dishes, wraps, seasonings, pots and pans. Even a lobster pot. Bring nothing, just replace what you use. Everything is well taken care of, clean and comfortable. Close to all activities in the area. Local hikes/walks, rocky beaches etc. Allows you to enjoy the Acadia experience but you set your own pace. Enjoy!!

Use Ceiling Fans With or Without AC
Ceiling fans help cool you when the AC is off, and when it's on, fans can make it more comfortable to keep the thermostat at a higher temperature. According to Alex Wilson, "All other things being equal, a breeze will keep you a lot cooler. If you're normally comfortable at, say, 72 degrees, using a ceiling fan or oscillating desk fan may enable you to be just about as comfortable with an air temperature of 75 to 80 degrees -- because the moving air evaporates moisture from your skin. Note that fans don't actually cool the air (in fact, they increase air temperature slightly from the motor's waste heat), so turn them off when you leave the room."
Weiner says that ceiling fans, which use much less energy than AC systems, can make you feel up to 4 degrees cooler.

Hard or Soft Panniers
As some of you folks know, I'm in the market to get some panniers of some description and have really taken a shine to the new Givi Tracker type boxes but like most of Givi stuff, is quite pricey although I'm sure of great quality as they are reknown for.
GIVI TRK33N - Side hardbags
My Local Suzi dealer (Boyds @ Broadmeadow Nctle) has a New 2012 DL1000 with the full kit including topbox which tops out to about $1,700 for the kit.
I was prepared on getting the 2 side panniers and racks for just under $1,200 but are now having major 2nd thoughts.
I just don't know if I can justify spending that sort of dollars for luggage if I'll probably only use it around 4 times a year if that.
Now I'm thinking, untill I really know what I really want in luggage (I only have a couple of yrs total experience in all this touring thing) I'm now bending towards either the Wolfman Dry expedition Pannier bags or Andy Strapz Exp bags and frame sets. The Strapz set are about $100 more expensive than the wolfman but after seeing another V-strom with the Wolfman yellow set strapped on, I'm now moving towards these.
Expedition Dry Saddle Bags
These are $625 for a set of 2 bags and frame set for the DL650.Seems more reasonable or do you guys think it's better to go all out and invest in a solid set of hardcases first-up?
Has anyone here have any experience with these bags? Would you think having an extra 38 litres (19 litres per side) of luggaage space would be enough for a decent tour (say about 4-5 weeks) I would have my RJays Topbox on the back, possibly the Andy strapz A bag on the pillion seat, the 2 Wolfmans on the side and my Givi tankbag. I guess it'd all boil down to wether I was free camping with tent and stuff I know.
I do like the way those wolfman bags strap to their own pannier frames.
I'd like to get a set of something before I go away up North to the Xmas do at Brett's but am still undecided which way to go.....I was also keen on the Hepco & becker Gobis cases and yet I am not keen on those top loader Aluminium cases like the hardcore adventure cases you see on Beemers and some Stroms.
Anyone who can share their knowledge and experience would be appreciated as I'm not knowing which way I should go with this.
If your only going to need them a few times a year go for for the soft set up, however I never take the pelicans off and do not notice the difference unless I'm doing hard cord off road. Some use the top box all the time but I use the panniers as the weight is lower, you won't be sorry if you spend the cash on a good luggage set up, but that's just me and I use my bike as my primary form of transport.
Live to Ride
I prefer the soft bags, but I only use them a few times a year.
Top box is brilliant though.
Top box and soft.
There are cheaper alternatives than Givi and Wolfman [but the Wolfman are supposed to be very good]..
I have alloy boxes for the Wee and soft bags on the KLE, the top box transfers between the two bikes as I have a second mount plate for it.
I'm thinking of using the soft bags on the Wee for most trips as well now though as the alloys suck fuel noticeably.
I use the top box on my commuting as it allows me to get through traffic easily, the boxes make the bike too wide [the soft bags on the KLE only come out about as far as the handle bar width so I still leave them on if I take it to work].
Ock. in Oz
Windsor (near enough)
NOW THIS IS NOT A TIP OK?! Not going down that road again! FFFAAAAR OUT!!
Ditto Ockerstrom. I made my top box out of 3mm Aluminium. From memory about 550L X 330w x330 h. Cost me less than $150 all up. I had a truck body fabricator cut and bend it to my design, cash job, and I bolted it together and added the hinges and locks. Having square corners adds heaps to the volume and usability over the commercial rounded box's. Looks real adventure, well ,to my biased eye.
I had cheap soft panniers when I used to do outback trips, made from a pair of suitably modified backpacks. No frames just looped 50mm straps over the seat each side, under the bottom of the backpacks, up the outside and joined over the top with stitched on velcro. $55. I have a 100mm plastic tube opposite the muffler, bags rested on the muffler heat shield (which runs barely warm) and on the tube.
If you ride dirt or maybe this applies to sealed road too, ..... I had my only off from the Strom coming out of Brachina Gorge in the Flinders in 2008. In a sandstorm I came down in gravel and finished with my leg stuck firm under the soft pannier. Had it been a hard box I'd have broken my lower leg for sure. Just something to think about.
I think Andy Strapps soft panniers and frames look the goods if you want to spend a few dollars. You'd recoupe some $s come the time to sell.

¿ Hard / Soft ?
being a chronically advanced crepitation, i guess i'm relegated to SOFT, by the nature of things
as i was pondering the same question, i got to wondering how much fun ti would be to find myself in a situation where direction & balance were somehow out of my control
the inevitable(for m/c riders) came to mind & i decided to choose to NOT HAVE A HARD ANGULAR OBJECT CHASE ME DOWN THE PIKE
pavement, fenders & bumpers are scary enough, w/o having to worry about trying to escape my own contraption
&, while pondering the inevitable, i thought about protecting the machine & it's parts
MY(as opposed to THE) answer turned toward SOFT LUGGAGE & SIDE RACKS, to go along w/ my engine guards & OVERSIZED TAIL RACK(the infamouse BBQ GRILL)
the side racks & tail rack were acquired from a fleabay vendor
my soft, WATERPROOF saddle bags are the LARGE ORTLIEBS, in yellow
my tail bag is also an ORTLIEB, in yellow
this system served me well, in the past, & i see no need to change
plenty room for stuff & it all stays DRY
when riding w/o the bags, the racks give me peace of mind, knowing that if/when i allow the bike to slip from my hands & she takes a nap, in the drive way, the turn signals & side plastics are protected
i guess i'm more of a practical thinker than a fashion statement kind of guy
the WEE is a kinda sporty looking UTILITY VEHICLE that CAN DO...
there are several kinds/brands of dry bags out there & the choice, there, is more individual taste than a question of right or wrong
i am attaching pics of a side rack, like the ones i got off fleabay & of the way i pack, some times
there are a couple complete sets, out there, to be had
1-set w/ top & side racks that have soft sided bags to fit
1-set w/ top & side racks that have pelican styled cases
lotsa options, in addition to the S branded stuff which can be pricy
& that's my 2¢ worth, this morning
shiny side up
Everyone crashes. Some get back on. Some don't. Some can't.
plus several BRAND X
So you can spend $600 to support a local manufacturer who is dedicated to making an excellent product and who stands behind what he makes 100% or you can spend $1700 to support a multi national corporation and about three distributors various transport companies to get a product that effectively is no better and if you intent to go off road is actually less useful.
Hmmm let me think about this one.
I'm about to advertise the Givi topbox, panniers, and racks I bought recently off Cooldollar on the forum. I've realised I'll never do the trips for which they would be ideal.
2007 Yamaha XJR1300
RIP Bucko - Riding on forever
FWIW, the hard panniers are a nightmare in strong wind and when passing trucks...
I prefer the soft as the profile is smaller....
Wow.....some great input and tips/advice there....thankyou very much guys.
After reading through your answers, the vote strongly veers towards the soft bag option and this is interesting considering the set-ups I seen at the Bingara gathering where in most cases...hard cases ruled which has influenced me somewhat in this direction but at the same time, I didn't really want the Utility look of the Aluminium cases and so preferred the rounder (for aerodynamic purposes) shapes like the Givis and some of the H&B's.
I don't think that I'll be doing a lot of camping out, just occassionaly due to needing to regularly use a CPAP machine which I always carry in my top box for protection, most my stay-overs will be in pubs or motels nowadays. But I do like to have the option to part motel it and part camp and therefore like to have the space of good panniers.
I was also thinking that if I got a good used set of hard panniers and frames like the ones that p38arover maybe be looking to sell, I could also buy some Andy Strapz soft bags to use on those frames if I was to do more gravel on a trip or something like that so the best of both worlds so to speak.
K1W1, I understand what you mean about supporting the local bloke and Andy's stuff is right up there in my books...I love the A bag.
PiJiL, same colour strom as mine and both those combinations look so bloody good.Can see what you mean though comparing the 2 combos..the andy's look very snug but the soft option doesn't seem to have the capacity of the hardcases...or is that more of a good thing than a minus?
Crikey....how hard can this be

As a relative newbie to Zenoss I have scoured this site and others for information on how to ensure that a Windows servers' filesystems are all detected and monitored. I must have missed something simple somewhere and am hoping that someone would point out my obvious mistake . I am in the process of testing Zenoss 3.0.3 on an Ubuntu base (Zentyal).
Lets consider 2x Windows 2003 servers. Both have been prepped with the necessary SNMP changes to allow Zenoss to interact/draw information from each of the servers. SNMP informant has been loaded on both the servers. The one server reports all of its information relating to the filesystems but no drives. The other reports all information regarding the drives but it does not show all of the filesystems and ends up only showing C:\.
I have re-modeled the device (that doesnt display filesystem information) and have provided the following excerpts for information from the status/log window :-
2010-11-11 08:34:20,238 INFO zen.ZenModeler: plugins: DellPCIMap, DellDeviceMap, DellCPUMap, zenoss.snmp.NewDeviceMap, zenoss.snmp.InterfaceMap, zenoss.snmp.DeviceMap, zenoss.snmp.RouteMap, zenoss.snmp.IpServiceMap, zenoss.snmp.HRFileSystemMap, zenoss.snmp.HRSWInstalledMap, zenoss.snmp.HRSWRunMap, zenoss.snmp.InformantHardDiskMap
on the two server snmp service is configured in the same way with the same options?
Hi Andrea,
Ive compared all SNMP settings/configurations and theyre identical.
For information : Both servers also have a local account (part of local admin group) that I utilise for zWinPAssword and zWinUser (identical of course).Other than that Im still a little stumped on this.
Thank you for your reply.
you've the same plugin on both server?
try to past modeler output of both of them
To simplify I have cut down the modeler plugins to the following (all default modeler plugins provided the same result):
- zenoss.snmp.InformantHardDiskMap
- zenoss.snmp.HRFileSystemMap
Machine 1 - Can see all filesystems but no drives. Id rather want to see the filesystems than drives so if I have to live without the drives I would.

Update : Ive used snmpwalk and have confirmed that both servers respond with exactly the same data (focussing on the hrStorage object identifier). Both the servers provided the following information:

hrStorageDescr.1 = STRING: A:\
hrStorageDescr.2 = STRING: C:\ Label:SYSTEM Serial Number b8e7c4ef

hrStorageDescr.4 = STRING: F:\ Label:Array-2 Serial Number 1848b5a4

hrStorageDescr.2 = STRING: D:\ Label:DATA Serial Number f26a44b4
hrStorageDescr.3 = STRING: Virtual Memory
hrStorageDescr.4 = STRING: Physical Memory
I can only assume that Zenoss is not doing what its supposed to given that the data is being pulled correctly from the servers?Zenoss has in the meantime been removed and re-installed just to be sure that the install is solid.
If you do have any other ideas it would be appreciated.
I'm in the same boat with a windows 2008 server which has a 8TB volume. The 4Tb volume show up and is monitored. I can snmp walk the server and find the mount which zenoss then "skips" over when you look at the output of a model command. I looked at zproperties, and nothing in there would/should exclude the volume, heck the 4TB volume shows up, so I'm LOST. I see that you can "add filesystem" manually but I can't get this to work either, nor does that process appear to be documented. Very confused. Any luck with this?
In your info, it says Zenoss is skipping F:/ because it's returning 0 blocks. I think that's probably the source of the issue. Now why it's doing that I don't know - are you running SNMPInformant on the Windows server?

As the zenoss user run zendmd and then run the following quick script:

>>> for i in d.zCollectorPlugins:
... print i
(note press enter twice after the 'print i')
Please paste the output of that.

Does anyone know what happened to accessing FHL/Family Search online? About 8 months ago, I was able to view a census from this site. I have recently gone back to locate the census. On several attempts, I am getting the same message when trying to view the document under Historical Records Collections. The message is:
"We are unable to display search results due to technical difficulties. Please try searching again in a few minutes." I also tried searching other records, in which, I was able to bring up in the past only to get the same message. Are they no longer allowing online viewing of records/documents?

The information below is taken from the 2013 printing of "Guide to Advancement", BSA Publication 33088 (SKU 618673), which replaced the former publication 33088 entitled "Advancement Committee Policies and Procedures", and the 2011 Guide to Advancement. The Guide to Advancement is the official Boy Scouts of America source on advancement procedures.
188.8.131.52 Positions of Responsibility
"Serve actively in your unit for a period of … months in one or more … positions of responsibility" is an accomplishment every candidate for Star, Life, or Eagle must achieve. The following will help to determine whether a Scout has fulfilled the requirement.
184.108.40.206.1 Positions Must Be Chosen From Among Those Listed.
The position must be listed in the position of responsibility requirement shown in the most current edition of Boy Scout Requirements. Since more than one member may hold some positions—"instructor," for example—it is expected that even very large units are able to provide sufficient opportunities within the list. The only exception involves Lone Scouts, who may use positions in school, their place of worship, in a club, or elsewhere in the community. Units do not have authority to require specific positions of responsibility for a rank. For example, they must not require a Scout to be senior patrol leader to obtain the Eagle rank.
Service in positions of responsibility in provisional units, such as a jamboree troop or Philmont trek crew, do not count toward this requirement.
For Star and Life ranks only, a unit leader may assign, as a substitute for the position of responsibility, a leadership project that helps the unit. If this is one, he or she should consult the unit committee and unit advancement coordinator to arrive at suitable standards. The experience should provide lessons similar to those of the listed positions, but it must not be confused with, or compared to, the scope of an Eagle Scout service project. It may be productive in many cases for the Scout to propose a leadership project that is discussed with the unit leader and then "assigned."
18.104.22.168.2 Meeting the Time Test May Involve Any Number of Positions.
The requirement calls for a period of months. Any number of positions may be held as long as total service time equals at least the number of months required. Holding simultaneous positions does not shorten the required number of months. Positions need not flow from one to the other; there may be gaps between them. This applies to all qualified members including Lone Scouts.
When a Scout assumes a position of responsibility, something related to the desired results must happen.
126.96.36.199.3 Meeting Unit Expectations.
If a unit has established expectations for positions of responsibility, and if, within reason (see the note under "Rank Requirements Overview," 126.96.36.199), based on his personal skill set, the Scout meets them, he fulfills the requirement. When a Scout assumes a position, something related to the desired results must happen. It is a disservice to the Scout and to the unit to reward work that has not been done. Holding a position and doing nothing, producing no results, is unacceptable. Some degree of responsibility must be practiced, taken, or accepted.
188.8.131.52.4 Meeting the Requirement in the Absence of Unit Expectations.
It is best when a Scout's leaders provide him position descriptions, and then direction, coaching, and support. Where this occurs, and is done well, the young man will likely succeed. When this support, for whatever reason, is unavailable or otherwise not provided—or when there are no clearly established expectations—then an adult leader or the Scout, or both, should work out the responsibilities to fulfill. In doing so, neither the position's purpose nor degree of difficulty may be altered significantly or diminished. BSA literature provides the basis for this effort: the Scoutmaster Handbook, No. 33009, ("The Boy-Led Troop"); the Patrol Leader Handbook, No. 32502 ("Your Patrol and Your Troop"); the Varsity Scout Guidebook, No. 34827 (in explanations of team organization); the Venturing Leader Manual, No. 34655 ("Leadership in the Crew"); and the Sea Scout Manual, No. 33239 ("Officers' Responsibilities").
Under the above scenario, if it is left to the Scout to determine what should be done, and he makes a reasonable effort to perform accordingly for the time specified, then he fulfills this requirement. Even if his results are not necessarily what the unit leader, members of a board of review, or others involved may want to see, he must not be held to unestablished expectations.
126.96.36.199.5 When Responsibilities Are Not Met.
If a unit has clearly established expectations for position(s) held,
then—within reason—a Scout must meet them through the prescribed time. If he
is not meeting expectations, then this must be communicated early. Unit
leadership may work toward a constructive result by asking him what he
thinks he should be accomplishing. What is his concept of the position? What
does he think his troop
leaders—youth and adult—expect? What has he done well? What needs improvement? Often this questioning approach can lead a young man to the decision to measure up. He will tell the leaders how much of the service time should be recorded.
If it becomes clear nothing will improve his performance, then it is acceptable to remove the Scout from his position. It is the unit leader's responsibility to address these situations promptly. Every effort should have been made while he was in the position to ensure he understood expectations and was regularly supported toward reasonably acceptable performance. It is unfair and inappropriate—after six months, for example—to surprise a boy who thinks he has been doing fine, with news that his performance is now considered unsatisfactory. In this case, he must be given credit for the time.
Only in rare cases — if ever — should troop leaders inform a Scout that time, once served, will not count.
If a Scout believes he has performed his duties satisfactorily, but his leaders disagree, then the possibility that expectations are unreasonable or were not clearly conveyed to the youth should be considered. If after discussions between the Scout and his leaders—and perhaps including his parents or guardians—he believes he is being held to unreasonable expectations, then upon completing the remaining requirements, he must be granted a board of review. If he is an Eagle candidate, then he may request a board of review under disputed circumstances (see "Initiating Eagle Scout Board of Review Under Disputed Circumstances," 184.108.40.206).
184.108.40.206.6 "Responsibility" and "Leadership."
Many suggest this requirement should call for a position of "leadership" rather than simply of "responsibility." Taking and accepting responsibility, however, is a key foundation for leadership. One cannot lead effectively without it. The requirement as written recognizes the different personalities, talents, and skill sets in all of us. Some seem destined to be "the leader of the group." Others provide quality support and strong examples behind the scenes. Without the latter, the leaders in charge have little chance for success. Thus, the work of the supporters becomes part of the overall leadership effort.

Guest blog by Richard Patch, Vice President of Federal Affairs, ASPCA Government Relations.
Today I had the honor of meeting one of our nation's four-legged heroes! I was invited to the official retirement ceremony of military working dog Rambo at the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in Havelock, North Carolina. Rambo loyally served our country, protecting human soldiers and keeping America safe, and will enjoy his well-earned retirement in the loving home of Lisa Phillips, a former soldier and founder and CEO of the Retired Military Working Dog Assistance Organization.
Rambo will have a happy ending, but his canine colleagues are not always so lucky. Despite their heroic efforts, military working dogs (MWDs) are currently classified by the U.S. Department of Defense as "equipment." Not only does this classification trivialize their life-saving contributions, but it also makes it difficult to transport the dogs from foreign warzones back to the United States after their service is completed so they can be adopted.
The Canine Members of the Armed Forces Act, introduced in the House by U.S. Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) and in the Senate by Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), reclassifies military dogs as "canine members of the armed forces" instead of equipment. The bill also simplifies the adoption process for retired military dogs and directs the military to set up a program for retired dogs' veterinary care, at no cost to the taxpayer. It also directs the Secretary of Defense to create a decoration or other recognition for military dogs who are killed in action or perform an exceptionally meritorious or courageous act in service to their country.
We need your help to build Senate support for the bill. For the sake of our canine heroes, please contact your U.S. senators and ask them to cosponsor S. 2134, the Canine Members of the Armed Forces Act. Like their human counterparts, MWDs deserve to be respected and cared for, both during and after their periods of service.
On behalf of Rambo and all our nation's military canine heroes, thank you!
Please pass this bill into law. A living breathing hero is not equipment
I'd realy love to know very well what type of small glowing pet that is certainly within the protect picture associated with "Is your furry friend a platinum metalist". I've got a little boy "my pup son" seems just like your ex that has been with me at night more than A few years currently. My personal guys hip and legs might be quite as extended however or else he or she looks the identical. Can easily anybody help me? Auto diagnostic tool
I think it is such a wonderful thing these dogs do for the military. Having owned a German Shepherd, I know how devoted they are and how far they will go to protect you. They deserve to be cared for when they retire. I would love to have one of these dogs but I could never pay to bring one back to the states. They should be brought back here when they retire. I think it is only right they get free veternairan services until they die. I will contact my senators and ask them to support S 2134.

The Elbridge Engine Company of Rochester, New York built light-weight, two-cycle marine engines. Several were sold to builders of aircraft such as Curtiss and Farman types between 1908 and 1910. In particular, they were used by flying schools to teach amateur pilots.
Two cycle engines were not used very long because of high fuel consumption, and were replaced by reliable four-cycle engines within a few years. Elbridge engines were unique in having an unlimited warranty on manufacturing defects.

The New Zealand franchises have announced their Super Rugby squads.
The Highlanders have named 10 All Blacks in their squad, with hooker Andrew Hore taking over the captaincy from loosehead prop Jamie Mackintosh.
The Otago franchise's highlight additions are centre Ma'a Nonu and loosehead prop Tony Woodcock from the Blues.
Flank Adam Thomson is the major omission as he has sealed a deal to play overseas next year.
Defending champions the Chiefs have gained All Blacks lock Ross Filipo, who featured on the Test scene in 2007 and 2008. Filipo once played for the Crusaders before enjoying overseas stints with Bayonne and the London Wasps.
Seven-time champions the Crusaders have announced nine newbies in their squad. They are hooker Codie Taylor, fullback Johnny McNicholl, props Joe Moody and Nepo Laulala, lock Dominic Bird, and loose forwards Shane Christie, Jordan Taufua and Jimmy Tupou.
The Christchurch franchise have also recruited Samoan Jeremy Su'a to bolster their scrumhalf ranks.
The Hurricanes look set to build on this year's surprise campaign, having signed Tongan scrumhalf Samisoni Fisilau, Crusaders prop Ben Franks and six newbies in centre Rey Lee-Lo, flank Ardie Savea, wing Matt Proctor, prop Eric Sione, flank Blade Thomson and utility back James Marshall.
The Blues have replaced the loss of Nonu with Auckland star Malakai Fekitoa and Chiefs centre Jackson Willison. The inclusion of prop Tim Perry eases Woodcock's departure.

I enjoyed the book by Mr. Harris. His arguments are sound, but I felt he did not go far enough in the physical world or rather universe.
There are between 300 to 400 billion stars in our MilkyWay Galaxy. Two other Galaxies are close by, Andromeda and the Spiral Galaxy. The Andromeda has 90 billion stars and the Spiral another 50 billion. That is all in our little spot in the universe. So with roughly 500 billion stars in our little neighborhood, the supreme being has chosen our Earth circling a small rather insignificant star upon which to create the race of man and apparently everything else. We even know what our supreme being looks like because he created man in his own image.
How egotistical can we possibly be?
The Planet earth is 8000 miles in diameter. All life as we know it exists in a 20 mile liquid/gaseous zone on the surface of this planet. From this we can derive that mankind is not the scum of the Earth. We are actually a biological infestation that inhabits the scum of the Planet Earth.
If someone suffers an accident and incurs damage to the brain, or if they suffer from Alzheimer's or any of dozens of other afflictions that affect the brain they can begin to lose their memories, even their very identities. Somehow when that body dies and that brain turns to dust, we will travel to heaven and find all of are loved ones. For some reason we will remember who we are and recognize others from our lives. You would think that the almighty immortal soul would hold up a little better while we were still in our bodies
Religion is such a sweet and easy addiction to fail into. We have had 2 thousand years to fine tune it so we can answer all the questions, all it takes is blind faith.
Maybe that is why SETI has never found anything. Would not any sentient species develop a religion to explain the mystery of life? Would not this religion eventually schism and become a dividing influence? Maybe most races destroy themselves in a tribute to the glory of their God.
I believe any sentient race stumbling across this Planet would decide that our religions are a clear danger signal. They would want to keep us unaware of them. That is of course the best scenario. If people want to pray for something they should pray that we never meet a race who has a true single religion. Mankind would never survive such an encounter.
Well I will now get down off my soap box.
Thanks for the book Mr. Harris, maybe someday I will write one of my own.

Pleasantly suprised
Guests were raving about the programs. Design was good quality and so was the paper. The size is what suprised me most. They were bigger than what I expected. Order process was so easy and still personalized to what we needed.

Why Install a Bamboo Baseboard
May 31, 2011 in Bamboo Flooring Trim and Accessories Tutorial, Uncategorized
You've done heaps of research on the merits of bamboo floors, and now it's time to install. Of course, there are always things that haven't been accounted for… things like flooring accessories, or simply, trim.
Why do you need trim?
Trim can be used to give a decorative element, protect the walls, cover the expansion gap between the floor and the wall, or to add a finishing touch to your intended flooring look. Some types of Trim offered at Smith&Fong Co. include: stair nosing, reducers, t-molding, baseboards, base shoes, thresholds, and stair steps.
This post is focused on the baseboard. Baseboards are an easy way to add an expressive touch to any room in addition to its utilitarian uses. Baseboards are know by several names such as, skirting boards, skirting, mopboards, floor moulding, or base moulding. It's generally used to cover the perimeter between the floor and the wall. However, it also protects the wall from kicks, damage from furniture, and abrasion.

As previously mentioned, using a baseboard covers the expansion gap between the floor and the wall. If you're installing the floor yourself, be mindful not to install the floor directly against the wall. You'll need an expansion gap for the floor to expand or your flooring may suffer "buckling," when the planks lift upwards from the floor because there is no room to expand. Buckling will be addressed later in our Maintenance Series.
