"Chase Ryan and Keith Ellison set out to change the world with their films—and they are finally seeing their dreams come true. The dedicated producers are deep in negotiations with America's top young movie star to play the lead in their next inspirational production. But the actor is linked to a studio whose brass will take any measures to see that their mega-million-dollar star doesn't take the part. In the meantime, the friends tackle another project that puts them and their assistant, Kendall Adams, on location in Arizona; far from their homes and the people who matter most to them. Chase finds himself on one side of fame—and temptation—with his wife and two daughters on the other. Back in Indiana, a crisis hits Keith's daughter, Andi, and Keith feels helpless to respond. Will the producers keep the passion they had at the start of their filmmaking—and will there be enough passion left over for their families? Or has their quest to change American culture become nothing more than a quest for fame? "

For the caramel
- 140g caster sugar

- 100g caster sugar
- a few drops vanilla paste or extract
- 2 tbsp Cointreau or Grand Marnier, optional

Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Put the sugar in a small frying pan, preferably non-stick, and add the water. Heat slowly, stirring gently with a metal tablespoon until the sugar has dissolved. The base of the pan will no longer feel gritty when you run the spoon over it. (Step 1)
- Increase the heat under the pan and allow the syrup to bubble. As the water is driven off, the syrup will become thicker and the bubbles on the surface will get bigger. Do not stir the syrup during this time. (Step 2)
- Watch the syrup carefully and when it starts to turn golden at the edges, swirl the pan to ensure even colouring. Do not stir it. When the syrup has turned a rich golden caramel colour, remove from heat. (Step 3)
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Pour the caramel into ramekins. Bring the milk to simmering point.
- Put the eggs and yolks in a bowl with the sugar and whisk lightly together.
- Gradually whisk in the hot milk. Strain into a clean jug and add the vanilla, and liqueur, if using. Pour carefully into the prepared ramekins.
- Pour boiling water from the kettle into a roasting tin to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 15-20 mins until the custards are just set. Leave to cool, then chill for at least 4 hrs, or even overnight. The caramels can be made up to 3 days in advance.
- To turn out each caramel, run the point of a sharp knife around the top edge of each ramekin, place a dessert plate on top and invert. Give the ramekin and plate a sharp shake and carefully remove the ramekin.

Comments, questions and tips
You could have just poured some boiling hot water into your ramekins and let it soak for a couple of minutes, repeat this two to three times and all the hard caramel would have dissolved away. It's normal to get hardened caramel at the bottom of ramekins when you make creme caramel. Hope this would make you try making one of my favourite desserts again!
I Followed the recipe making the caramel first, swirling it around the ramekin, then moved onto making the custard. When it came to turning them out ,the custard came out easy enough, but left a rock hard piece of caramel behind. (and I hadnt overcooked the caramel) I have been unable to get the caramel out and had to throw away my ramekins. I have made creme caramel in the past and this hasnt happened before. The custard had a nice taste though and took 28 mins to cook. Disappointed and ramekinless.

Mayor Landrieu Says New Streetcar Line, Hospital Progress Show City's Recovery
By Eileen Fleming
New Orleans, La. – Mayor Landrieu says two organizations are signing on to run Memorial Hospital when it reopens in New Orleans East. The Franciscan Mission of Our Lady will run the hospital. Daughters of Charity will be in charge of clinical operations. He says it could take more than two years for the 80-bed hospital to reopen, but highlighted other signs of public and private investment.
"We have a very, very long way to go. But I would ask those of you in the East to be aware that not only do we have today, but across the street the library is under construction. The Joe Brown Pool Park is almost ready for all of us to put our swimsuits on and take our first dip. We made major announcements out at NASA and Michoud with Blade Dynamics and with TCI, so I can fairly say that the recovery is roaring back."
Earlier, Landrieu announced a 2-and-a-half-mile streetcar line will be built along Rampart Street at the French Quarter through Treme to the Bywater. It's in addition to a line planned from Canal Street to the Union Passenger Terminal in the Central Business District.

Staff Correspondent
MANGALORE: Electrical superintendent Chandrahas has been suspended from service for dereliction of duty.
He was suspended on Monday, MCC Commissioner K.N. Vijayakumar told The Hindu here on Wednesday for allegedly failing to ensure that streetlights were switched off during the day in the corporation's limits.
Mr. Vijayaprakash said that he had received several complaints that the streetlights remained on throughout the day in several places across the city. He had also noticed the same during his rounds, he said.
He said that Mr. Chandrahas had been directed, in writing, to ensure that the lights were switched off early in the morning, but the direction had gone unheeded.
When Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa visited the city during the weekend, he could not be contacted either on his cell phone or on his wire set, Mr. Vijayaprakash said.

FAST ART: Although doing your name justice might seem like something to be proud of, posting this early usually means you did not put a lot of work in either thinking the concept out or rendering it. Right now, I'm leaning towards rejecting your piece from poll for being off-topic. There's three words in the topic, and although there's something to say about it being a giant, your interpretation of 'grazer' is rather vague and I totally miss the 'canopy' part here. Since there's enough time left, I suggest you work it out a little better.

Little sketch of the giant canopy grazer. Not related to the aerial cephalopods though.
If it is worth doing, it is worth doing well.

Man, I already have a creature that's kind of like that.. but maybe I could make a different related species.. one that is for trees, not for grasslands. Could be interesting. We'll see if I have time for this besides my assignments >_<

LacrymØsa - Giant Canopy Grazer
Just layed down some quick colours, bit of a play with what im trying to get...i figure more natural colours will aid the creature in camouflage.
Just something I quickly drew up on break at work. I call it a Canopy Worm; grazes..and so forth. It has spit glands on the front of its face to 'shoot' away and defend its face from birds and things in the tree tops. The spikes at the ends of it tail help ground it to the tree as well as defend it from the floor dwelling creatures.

Are we limited to grazing on land, or can I draw some huge underwater creature grazing canopies of algee forests?

can the creature graze on what lies on the ground? -without it´s feet touching the ground ?

i hope not to be rude...but a canopy is a canopy. it aint on the ground.
February 16th, 2009 #16
DefiledVisions: As long as you come up with a viable and clear interpretation for 'canopy', I'm fine with it. However, it is up to you to convey this in your image (don't rely on the text for conveying your interpretation of 'canopy', it won't work).
Hive Mind: I have to agree with LacrymOsa here, it's grazing the canopy, not the ground. Go ahead if you want, but I might leave it out of the poll if it's off topic.
February 16th, 2009 #17
I know what a canopy is, but I guess I was over interpreting the topic

Here's a couple of WIPs. The idea is that he lives in some giant trees with huge limbs that he swings around on. Sort of gorilla-like, maybe King Kong like, since it's supposed to be "giant." This species is definitely giant for their family.
Y'all think he should have a long tail or a short tail? I'm probably going to make his head smaller and give him some sort of mane.
And for some crits:
Nexus, your creature is looking very human/demon-like in his upper body. I wouldn't peg him for a grazer, he looks more like a predator to me, especially with those forward-facing eyes well shielded from the sun by large eyebrows. Not to mention the huge fangs.
Lacrymosa, interesting concept, plus it doesn't have legs to touch the ground... how does it get to another tree if the one it's on dies? Or does it die with the tree? Or does he live in the forests where the trees are so densely packed all he has to do is slither? I'm imagining some kind of really gross wormy texture for him, with all that white color there. Could be really cool =)
Trog, I laughed when I saw that bulbous cartoony shape sitting on top of the tree, just eating the entire thing and the tree is about to fall over. "Nom nom nom!" Good start, though it's really hard to tell any details about the creature at this point. Keep working on it! I'm also wondering how it would not fall off the tree.

hey, I'd just like to clarify something really quick, so I can start going through my thumbnails- its called a 'Giant Canopy Feeder'. So, is it an herbivore that feeds off the canopy itself, or is the canopy the environment in which it feeds, and it eats other organisms that live in the canopy? Just curious as to how much freedom we have with interpretation...
February 16th, 2009 #20
sperling: "Giant Canopy Grazer." So my assumption is, more than likely, this would mean herbivore. and anybody else interested, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grazer .
Here's my sketch. I think I'm going to stick with this concept, although I'm somewhat concerned it's a bit to "slothy." Going to try to make it more unique in the painting stage.
Some see the glass half full. Others see it half empty. I just try to see the glass!
February 16th, 2009 #21
Sperling: What darkly said, the topic is 'grazer'. If you come up with a viable interpretation for that you're okay, but mostly it means herbivor yes.
February 16th, 2009 #22
Here's an initial sketch of my grazer, it's a snake monkey, it needs constant sunlight to keep itself alive, it can hide once in awhile under shadows but definitely would be fatal for it to be underneath the giant canopies, hence it won't land on the ground for these reasons. c&c are welcome, great looking stuff so far from everyone
February 16th, 2009 #23
February 17th, 2009 #24
LacrymØsa: Yeah thanks, it does look a little funny. Hate to say it, but perspective (exaggerated, or not) is something that can give me trouble.

"George Washington who is sometimes called the father of our country. As a youth, I remember hearing miraculous stories of George Washington being preserved in battle, such as, removing his clothes at the end of the day and finding four bullet holes but no wounds.
In 1770 a Native American Chief who sided with the French against the British during the 1755 war, related that he fired at Washington 17 times and his warriors also tried to kill this young officer, to no avail. Another chief related that they were instructed to kill all officers first and had attempted to shoot Washington but could not. During the battle for Fort Duquesne, now the city of Pittsburgh, Washington was one of only 1300 soldiers who survived and the only officer of 86 that survived. Another account during the Revolutionary War told of the head of a British marksman squad who was about to shoot an American officer, at close range, but was inspired not to shoot and didn't, later finding out it was George Washington that he didn't shoot. These stories are very inspiring, but isn't it interesting that schools stopped teaching the true accounts of, Divine Providence preserving Washington in battle, to help establish this country? And yet we still hear about the cherry tree myth in school!" (Comments by David Christopher, M.H., School of Natural Healing)
I know it's hard to imagine at this time when our world seems to be in such a mess, but I believe God still rules! He is still in control of this world and our nation as well as others. In America we are celebrating this week, over 230 years of freedom. Freedom, which was purchased at the cost of the blood, tears and lives of many in the beginning and many more throughout our history. But we are where we are and who we are because God wills it to be so.
Divine providence is the means by and through which God governs all things in the universe, or perhaps we could simply say that God is in complete control of all things. Obviously God rules the universe, Psalms 104:19 tells us, "The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all." But he also rules over the nations! Luke 1:42 tells us, "His mighty arm has done tremendous things! He has scattered the proud and haughty ones. He has brought down rulers from their thrones and exalted the humble."
We are at this point still, "the land of the free and the home of the brave," but once we stop serving him he will bring judgment against this nation just as he has done throughout history.
Did God protect George Washington? He may very well have. Can God protect us? Yes he can! Can he protect those he chooses as his leaders? Yes he will, as long as they lead God's people in following the way he has set before them in His Word, The Bible!
Abraham Lincoln quoting Matthew 12:25 once said: "A house divided against itself cannot stand." He was referring to our nation and I believe he was entirely correct. Our nation is divided in so many different ways, but the greatest is in our belief that God's Word should be the guiding factor in our lives. If you haven't understood what I'm driving at, let me say it plainly. God is in control of the world and if we expect to continue as a nation we have no choice but to once again embrace His Word.

Re: Heaving-To

I don't understand how you could heave to with a single sail without fore reaching, it's the balance of jib against rudder and main.
I've found in winds in the 30's to 40 knot range, my boat will heave to under deeply reefed main alone(I have a yawl which could put my CE forward a bit). Windage forward of the main, mostly from the furled genoa, is enough to keep the bow at about 45 degrees to the wind and waves with the main sheeted tight on the centerline.
However, if I lock the rudder to windward(standard heaving-to position), she may tack. So the wheel is adjusted so the boat settles, hove-to, occasionally fore-reaching for a bit, then settling.
I needed to do the above this past season when my daughter and I had to get some rest from 35 to 40 knot winds on an overnight(we were spent).
The reason I tried this was to keep the bow pointed well forward into the good sized seas with breaking crests, as opposed to beam to, which it will tend to do, hove-to, in higher and higher gusts, if there is even a little jib on the headstay.
We avoided any yawing of gusts pushing the bow down wind(boat broadside to wind/waves) which would have been a much, much wetter and rougher ride.
In lighter conditions, I need the jib(or a good portion unfurled), back winded. Or in lighter-moderate conditions, I'll just heave-to with mizzen alone-sheeted centerline, and rudder locked to windward. The boat rides in a nice slick but it's mostly broadside to wind and waves. Not a good thing in heavier wind and seas.

In 2009, fat is out in chardonnay
Rating: 90
Silverado Vineyards 2007 Miller Ranch Sauvignon Blanc, Yountville ($20): I can remember a time when Silverado blended chardonnay with its sauvignon blanc and had one of the fattest, most oily sauvignon blancs produced in the Napa Valley. No more. The Miller Ranch is primarily sauvignon blanc, along with a bit of semillon (the traditional white Bordeaux blend), and the mouth feel and aroma profile are a dramatic departure from those old Silverado sauvignon blancs. The '07 Miller Ranch offers flavors of lemon and grapefruit, with a subtle hint of dried herbs. And it's crisp and refreshing, too.
Rating: 90
Sonoma-Cutrer 2006 Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast ($25): Lovely notes of lemon creme and pear combine with an intense minerality that is rare for California chardonnay. This is a well-made chard that is still young, but with tremendous potential to flesh out and develop additional complexities over the next three to five years. Rating: 90
Silverado Vineyards 2007 Chardonnay, Napa County ($23): We have been begging California chardonnay producers to make wines that are more food-friendly, and it seems the pleas have been heeded. The '07 Napa County chardonnay from Silverado is crisp and dry chardonnay, loaded with intense fruit aroma without being fat or oily. This is a well-balanced chardonnay in every respect, exhibiting aromas of apple, pear and lemon and well-measured oak.

The Neighborhood (Hardcover)
If a writers' quarter existed without regard to the bounds of space and time, it would surely be inhabited by the senhores of Gonçalo M. Tavares's playful imagination, of whom six reside in proximity here: Mr. Calvino, Mr. Valéry, Mr. Juarroz, Mr. Kraus, Mr. Walser, and Mr. Henri.It is not lost on readers of literature and philosophy, of course, that these characters share the names of illustrious authors and thinkers. But their stories demand of the reader no prior knowledge; instead, Tavares employs riddles and word play to enlighten and surprise. Charmingly enhanced by Rachel Caiano's minimalist drawings, these vignettes reveal the authors' intellectual universe and personal points of view.
About the Author
Goncalo M. Tavares was born in 1970. He has published numerous books since 2001 and has been awarded an impressive number of literary prizes in a very short time, including the Saramago Prize in 2005.

I must add besides buying whatever u like most buy whatever u think you're going to enjoy most playing.
the Multi Vector ship received many praises and people think it together with the Excelsior to be the best overall Federation cruiser in game.
I don't like the look of either very much. I tend to look Excelsior more favorably but I do believe the multi vector ship would give me more damage per second.
But then again I bought the dreadnought for nostalgic reason so I can relate to TNG. Not sure having / buying the Excelsior would be wise as I'd have TWO great cruiser instead of just one. Might go with the multivector but I must say I favor / appreciate the Excelsior more since it is a cruiser. Oh well for now I'm content with just the dreadnought for my Federation toons.
Im told the multi vector doesn't have toggle to rejoin their sections. Other than that people generally love it for their tac and science toons mostly while the Excelsior I heard is great with tac and engineer toons.

Downtown Turlock has seen many changes over the past 100 years. The dusty dirt road of 1908 Main Street that housed town essentials such as the pioneer Osborn store, Turlock Hotel and McGill blacksmith shop is now a specialty retail destination.

This transformation was a process that began in 1998 with a revitalization effort that saw City Hall move back to downtown and ...

Business Highlights
As Facebook matures, is it losing its edge?
NEW YORK (AP) - To see what Facebook has become, look no further than the Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer.
Sometime last year, people began sharing tongue-in-cheek online reviews of the banana-shaped piece of yellow plastic with their Facebook friends. Then those friends shared with their friends. Soon, after Amazon paid to promote it, posts featuring the $3.49 utensil were appearing in even more Facebook feeds.
At some point, though, the joke got old. But there it was, again and again - the banana slicer had become a Facebook version of that old knock-knock joke your weird uncle has been telling for years.
The Hutzler 571 phenomenon is a regular occurrence on the world's biggest online social network. So the question is: Has Facebook become less fun?
That's something many users - especially those in their teens and early 20s - are asking themselves as they wade through endless posts, photos "liked" by people they barely know and spur-of-the moment friend requests. Has it all become too much of a chore? Are the important life events of your closest loved ones drowning in a sea of banana slicer jokes?
No let up for auto sales in March; pickups star
DETROIT (AP) - America is getting back to work, and it needs pickup trucks.
Strong truck demand in March drove U.S. auto sales to their highest monthly total since August 2007, as everyone from oil and gas producers to local home builders raced to replace the aging trucks they held onto during the recession. Overall auto sales rose 3.4 percent from March of last year.
March is typically a good month for the auto industry. Many car buyers put their tax refund checks toward a down payment. And Japanese automakers, whose fiscal year ends in March, often juice sales with big incentives to end the year on a high note.
Fannie's record profit a symbol of housing rebound
WASHINGTON (AP) - Home prices are up. Foreclosures are down. Construction is up. And now comes the latest sign of the U.S. home market's revival: Fannie Mae, the mortgage giant that nearly collapsed five years ago, has earned its biggest yearly profit ever.
Fannie Mae earned $17.2 billion last year and said Tuesday that it expects to stay profitable for "the foreseeable future." It also paid $11.6 billion in dividends to the U.S. Treasury in 2012.
And last year was Fannie's first since its takeover by the government in 2008 that it asked for no federal aid. As recently as 2011, Fannie lost nearly $17 billion and requested and received nearly $26 billion in aid.
The speed of Fannie's resurgence is a testament to a much healthier U.S. mortgage market.
Obama health care credits could trigger surprise tax bills
WASHINGTON (AP) - Millions of people who take advantage of government subsidies to help buy health insurance next year could get stung by surprise tax bills if they don't accurately project their income.

Vanguard 15 dinghy stuff
Hello, people, thanks for reading this. I am a dinghy racer, I sail Vanguard 15
(a 470-like boat, but no spinnaker or trapeze). Since it doesn''t have a spinnaker I(actually my crew) is trying to use the jib a efficient as possible, so every time we are on a dead run, we are trying to put the jib on the side opposite to the tack, so that the main doesn''t blanket it. Unlike Snipes or some other boats of that kind, V15s don''t have the whisker pole to hold the jib flat and to make it stay on the side it needs to be on, so we have to do it without adaptations of that sort. And doing that is a real pain in the neck, the jib folds all the time, it won''t stay on the needed side, etc. So can anybody suggest an efficient and easy way of doing that.

Community development venture capital funds sow economic opportunities: during the 1880s, a small number of African-American-owned banks anticipated today's community investment vehicles by providing affordable capital and access to basic financial services in underserved communities.
Explaining CDVC funds in terms of traditional venture capital funds is much like comparing apples to oranges. Both are the fruit of well-capitalized plans that stem from a solid business concept, and both are nurtured through infusions of equity and prudent management oversight. Furthermore, both usually reap a significant cash return after several years of investment, as well as nourish the economic health of the communities or industries they support. The flavors, however, are distinctly different.
Comparing traditional and community funds
Traditional venture capital funds aim to produce significant financial returns by offering high yields in exchange for assuming risk. In contrast, CDVC funds expand the definition of reward to include not only interest and dividends to investors but also new jobs and services for low- and moderate-income populations or distressed communities. This investment with a social mission results in a "double-bottom line."
CDVC funds can be structured as for-profit, nonprofit, or "hybrid" organizations in which a for-profit CDVC fund is affiliated with a nonprofit organization. The latter approach has the distinct advantage of enabling access to grant funds, according to a 2001 study by Julia Sass Rubin in Changing Financial Markets and Community Development. All CDVC funds strive to engage quality management teams, who bring significant experience in the traditional private equity industry as well as strong relationships with bankers, corporations and other economic development engines.
According to a statement from the Community Development Venture Capital Alliance (CDVCA), an industry group for CDVC organizations, CDVC funds represent one of the "fastest growing sectors of community development finance." The number of CDVC funds in the U.S. has grown from 52 funds managing $300 million in capital at the end of 2000 to over 80 managing $548 million, as of the second quarter of 2003. Research for a San Francisco Fed publication by Kerwin Tesdell and Charity Shumway in 2003 indicates that the CDVC industry grew by 38 percent over that stone period, which marked one of the most difficult fundraising environments in the venture capital industry's estimated 30-year history.
Not unlike their traditional counterparts, CDVC funds seek to invest in businesses with solid business concepts, good management teams and high growth potential. However, CDVC funds pursue distinctly different types of investment to achieve this goal compared to traditional venture capital funds.
Characteristics of CDVC investments
Unlike traditional venture capital funds, CDVC funds aren't restricted to high-growth areas or a particular stage of business development. Rather, they are more likely to extend to all businesses in urban mid rural low-income communities throughout a geographic region. For example, SJF Ventures in Durham, N.C., is concentrated in the eastern United States and invests in companies at all stages of development (see sidebar).
Another difference is that CDVC fund investments are not likely to be industry-specific. While private venture capital funds in the 1990s invested in technology-related firms, for example, CDVC funds focus on investments that will create quality entry-level jobs with good benefits and livable wages. Like traditional funds, they provide "patient capital": that is, investors don't realize a payment on their investment until the business is well-established, usually several years after the investment is made.
Unlike traditional venture capital funds that seek high returns on higher-risk investments, the financial returns on CDVC funds are usually more modest, with an additional payoff in the forms of community benefits such as job creation or neighborhood stabilization. The size of the investment is also smaller than traditional venture capital funds. According to Rubin and others in a study presented to a 2003 Fed conference on Sustainable Community Development, the average investment is $186,000 per round and $393,000 per company as compared with the traditional venture capital industry's average of $8 million per round of investment.
Finally, intensive technical assistance is critical to the success of both the CDVC funds and the businesses in which they invest.
In both types of venture capital funds, providers need to "harvest" or exit the investment to return a profit to investors and re-capitalize funds for new investments. According to Rubin, at the end of 2000, CDVC funds tracked in the study had exited 67 of their 237 total investments. More than half of exits as of 2002 were through acquisition from outside buyers, and 32 percent involved management and owner buy-backs.
Assessing the financial and social performance
Several factors make it difficult to evaluate how successful CDVC funds have been from both financial and community development perspectives. On the financial side, the majority of funds are less than seven years old and not many have exited their investments. The financial evaluation is further complicated because some of the funds received operating subsidies, used a combination of debt and equity instruments, or both.
Although the available data are limited, preliminary assessment of the industry's social impact is encouraging. Rubin tracked the jobs created by businesses financed by three of the oldest funds and found that they created more than 4,000 jobs at an average cost of less than $10,000 equity invested in the company per job. These jobs were in economically distressed rural communities and provided higher than average (for the region) benefits and wages.

Community Development Venture Capital Fund Close-Up: SJF Provides Capital Boost for Community-Minded Atlanta Business
Established in 1999, SJF is comprised of two organizations: SJF Ventures, a community development venture capital fund, and SJF Advisory Services, an affiliated nonprofit that offers workforce development and sustainable business services. SJF's overall mission is to "create quality employment for low wealth citizens and communities by financing and assisting companies that generate social, environmental and financial gains."
SJF Ventures invests in innovative, growing companies that provide high quality, entry-level jobs with good pay and benefits as well as a strong financial return on investment. It has made $10.1 million in equity investments in 18 companies throughout the eastern United States, including the Sixth District states of Georgia, Florida and Tennessee.
One of SJF's successful projects is Ryla Teleservices, Inc., located just outside metro Atlanta. Since 2002, SJF Ventures has invested a total of $700,000 in the company, which provides outsourced customer contact, data verification and validation services for business-to-business interactions. Since SJF's initial investment, Ryla has grown from 20 employees to 280 employees. Benefits for their employees include 100 percent employer-paid health insurance premiums for permanent workers, a 401-K savings plan, extensive training opportunities and opportunities for promotion.
SJF's companies are further supported by SJF Advisory Services, which invests in technical assistance to create, retain and enhance long-term jobs for the residents of economically distressed communities. Its role includes matching these companies with services, such as job placement and training, welfare-to-work, and economic development programs for employees.
The advisory arm of SJF has assisted Ryla through board involvement, introduction to potential investors, assistance with management recruitment and legal counsel. In keeping with their mission to build wealth for employees, SJF Advisory has also worked with management to launch a multi-tiered stock option plan to provide incentives and rewards for employees at all levels.
Mark Wilson, Ryla's CEO, was featured in the February 2004 issue of In Focus as a successful "Innovator of Tomorrow." In 2003, Ryla was named the U.S. Department of Commerce's Minority Business Development Agency's "Local Service Firm of the Year." The company was also featured in a New York Times (10/31/2003) article, "Capital for Companies that Aid Communities," and was spotlighted at the annual Community Development Venture Capital Alliance (CDVCA) conference in March 2004.
SJF's 10-member staff maintains offices in Durham, N.C., and Philadelphia, Pa.
For more information, please visit SJF Venture's website at www.sjfund.com or contact Rick Larson, Managing Director, at (919) 530-1177 or email@example.com.

Hyundai to unveil i-oniq concept car in Geneva
The new Hyundai i-oniq concept that will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show
Article Summary
Hyundai's newest concept car, the 4.4 meter-long (14.4 ft) four-seater i-oniq electric sports hatchback, features a 109 PS electric motor and a range-extending 3-cylinder 1.0 liter petrol engine. In electric-only mode, the i-oniq has a range of 120 km (75 miles), but with the petrol engine producing electricity, the range extends beyond 700 km (435 miles). In range-extender mode, the i-oniq is an emissions champion, producing a paltry 45 g/km of CO2.

I'm getting the following when trying to create a new database using the Data Studio 184.108.40.206 administration client in a local DB2 instance:
"The connectivity libraries that are needed for local or remote non-JDBC operations were not found. To provide these libraries, you can install IBM Data Server Client or a local DB2 database server instance."
This is under 64-bit RHEL 6.3, running from the Gnome desktop. I would have thought this was a problem with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but my .bashrc is running /home/db2inst/sqllib/db2profile, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH looks like this:
All 3 of the following are in my PATH: /home/db2inst1/slqllib/bin, /home/db2inst1/sqllib/adm and /home/db2inst1/sqllib/misc
I've seen messages from others with the same problem under Windows that resolved it by including sqllib\bin in the PATH, but it looks like I've already got that covered.
Can anyone provide any guidance?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Can't Create Database - Connectivity Libraries Not Found2013-02-12T17:29:17Z in response to DaleMorganHi Dale,
I've exactly the same problem.
Have you got a solution yet?
Best regards,
Re: Can't Create Database - Connectivity Libraries Not Found2013-02-13T23:30:21Z in response to SystemAdminHi Dale,
I can try to help you solve your problem although, admittedly, I am a little surprised by the error message because the error is generally associated with a Windows setup. But let's give it a try.
Sometimes this problem happens when there is a 32-bit/64-bit mismatch.
Can you please confirm your setup?
You said it was Data Studio 3.1.1 admin client and 64-bit DB2 both on the same machine running RHEL? Is this correct?
I am curious about the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. What was the reason for setting it this way? Do you get the same error message if you don't set it?
Hi Andreas,
Is your set up the same as Dale's? If different, can you please describe it too?
I am especially curious to learn if Data Studio and DB2 are on the same machine, their versions, and if they are both installed either as 32-bit or 64-bit.

Re: Can't Create Database - Connectivity Libraries Not Found2013-02-14T00:57:08Z in response to firstname.lastname@example.com Sal, I gave up and installed under Windows and everything's working fine there. But yes, it was 3.1.1 admin client and 64-bit DB2 on the same machine running RHEL.
I don't remember why LD_LIBRARY_PATH was set the way it was. I think I tried several variations without success, and I got the same error every time. How should it be set?
SystemAdmin 110000D4XK1632 PostsACCEPTED ANSWER
Re: Can't Create Database - Connectivity Libraries Not Found2013-02-14T15:28:48Z in response to firstname.lastname@example.com Sal,
yes - I've exactly the same environment than Dale (RHEL x86 64Bit, Data Studio 3.1.1 admin client, db2 V10.1 x86 64Bit).
Just let me add two additional things:
.) I can start/stop/create/delete DB2-instances and databases from the db2-console without any problem and ...
.) If I've started the db2-instance from the db2-console it's possible to connect/disconnect databases by the DataStudios 'Administration-Explorer'-perspective also. But it's NOT possible to start/stop the instance or to create/remove a new database. This results in the error-message described above ("The connectivity libraries that are needed for local or remote ... snip ")
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Re: Can't Create Database - Connectivity Libraries Not Found2013-02-14T20:17:14Z in response to SystemAdminHi, thank you both for your response and for trying Data Studio.
I don't believe setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is needed since it is usually used to substitute a different or non-standard library. I have reached out to colleagues to verify this and if I hear anything different I will post it here.
I'd like to request some more environmental info from your system and I have several options that you can try. Do you mind emailing me at ledezma at us dot ibm dot com to work through this?
This way we can work through the problem and once solved I will post the solution here so that others may benefit.
If this is ok, let's start with the following:
Can you please send me the DB2 fix pack level you are on? You can do this by issuing the command "db2level" on the CLP.
Also, are you using a standard port for SSH on your Linux machine?
Re: Can't Create Database - Connectivity Libraries Not Found2013-02-23T01:55:03Z in response to firstname.lastname@example.com,
I wanted to come back to this topic to provide some results.
After discussing more with Andreas offline, he was able to determine that ssh was not running on his system. The admin client attempts to communicate with DB2 using ssh when executing non-JDBC commands. Since it was not enabled, these commands were failing.
Once the ssh-daemon was enabled, Andreas was able to execute the commands successfully.
The error message is a little confusing, so I will open a defect in our internal bug tracking system to improve the message for these type of communication failures.
Regarding the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it looks like DB2 sets this during the DB2 install. Data Studio users should not have to modify this.

The city of Oneida will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. Nov. 21 in the Council Chambers regarding a proposition to change the law governing nuisance vehicles and traffic.
According to Mayor Leo Matzke, his offices have received numerous complaints about all-terrain vehicle traffic bothering residents late into the evening. The proposed amended law reads that people "shall not operate any off-road recreational vehicle so as to create a nuisance."
It further dictates that "No person shall operate a snowmobile, dirt bike, ATV, or other motorized recreational type vehicle on private property within the city of Oneida between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. if the operation of such vehicle can be heard from any neighboring property. No person shall operate a snowmobile, dirt bike, ATV, or other motorized recreational type vehicle on private property within the city of Oneida if the operation interferes with any neighbor's use or enjoyment of their property."
The ordinance defines interference with a neighbor's use or enjoyment of their property to include stirring up dirt or debris that blows or travels onto another's property; impairing someone's enjoyment of television, audio or sound reproductive devices while those devices are operated at a normal level; impairing conversation with others in a normal tone of voice; noise that can be clearly heard from inside a neighbor's house or any noise of repeated or long duration produced from the operation of such motorized recreational vehicle.
Snowmobile enthusiast Pete Hopkins expressed dissatisfaction with the amendment.
"I live in the flats, and I am a snowmobiler," Hopkins said. "I came to find out what the city plans to do if I'm out on my sled and on the way home after 9 p.m., do I have to park my sled at the city limits and walk home?"
Hopkins asked if the city owned a decibel meter and if the Common Council had considered evaluating decibel levels.

Arizona Trip, Day 10
Again here, not much to say, just on the road from Texarkana to Tye Texas. The biggest highlight today was going through Dallas Texas. We actually took the ring road but that was a distance of 55 miles, one and a half hours, with traffic and all! What an experience. Actually was better than we expected. The rest of the trip to Tye was uneventful, however, we hit a glitch again. Once we were stopped for the night, ...
Prettiest Town I've Ever Seen......
... indeed. With that in mind, the town commissioned a lot of sculptures to be placed throughout the downtown area. The primary theme was that of Dr. Seuss characters. We had a fun afternoon walking around and seeing the sculptures and taking a tour of the Grace Museum. We would recommend a stop in Abilene if you ever get to the Texas ...

As I write this, we've been home for several weeks now. It's been hard to sit down and finish this blog once we got back home - and then had to prepare for going back to Austin again for our youngest daughter's 21 Sep wedding.
By this point in our trip, we were ready to get back to Austin to see the kids and grandkids. Abilene was just a quick overnight stop, and we were on the road again.

Talked to some of the people staying at the park for some ideas about where to go and stay next, mostly because we feel completely lost and not sure where we should go next.
There just isn't much to write about while crossing this huge state on I-5. Texas is such a large, flat state.
