Back-end and front-end dev and photographer
Ukraine - Last active: 3 days ago - Tests: 2 - Portfolio: 1
I specialize on Ruby on Rails and front-end development. In spite of the fact I have got a degree in International Journalism and Translation, I worked as QA and IT Sales for total of 3 years (from 2008) and then moved to web development from Jan, 2012. I have performed both back-end tasks (from basic CRUD to making simple APIs or server scripts) and front-end (building static websites from scratch or developing views with twitter-bootstrap). I believe the experience is formed with the quality of the projects, you have delivered, and not with the years of sitting in front of the laptop. Specialties: ruby 1.9.2+, Ruby on Rails 3.0+, linux and MacOS X environment, unix-shell, Git, SQL (SQLite, MySQL, PostrgeSQL), HTML, Haml, CSS, Sass, Less, twitter-bootstrap, javascript, jQuery Here is link to my github profile: https://github.com/amseledka I do photographs and various design tasks in my spare time, as well as help my friends with Russian-Ukrainian-English translations.

Senior Front-End Developer (SASS, CSS, JS, Coffee, ROR, Wordpress)
Croatia - Last active: 3 days ago - Tests: 2 - Portfolio: 13
My career as a web designer started eight years ago in which time it has proven that even though I am a good graphic designer I am even better at coding and slicing. HTML, CSS and JavaScript are the areas in which I excel but I am also familiar with back end development languages like Ruby(Ruby on Rails) and PHP. Also, I am ready to learn new ones and expand my current knowledge of the fore mentioned as needed to the point where it makes me do my job faster, better and more efficiently. That is the way I dived into web programming in the first place and started to like it through the learning process. As an individual, I'm the person that stands out from the crowd. If you want the same for your business, then I'm the professional you should hire!

PORTLAND -- Mayor Sam Adams and Commissioner Randy Leonard left elected office Thursday with their final Portland City Council meeting.
The two, who are often allies, did not seek reelection and their terms expire at the end of the year.
Both city leaders have scored victories but also been dealt defeats and criticisms during their tenures. Through it all, Adams said he kept his promises to Portlanders.
I m most proud of the result; and the results are more people are working, and it s from a strategy, not just by chance, he said. More kids are graduating high school because of the team we put together. The city is more sustainable.
Randy Leonard wrapped up a decade as a Portland city commissioner. As fire commissioner, he worked to get a $72 million bond measure passed to replace fire trucks and rebuild Firehouse 21 that will bear his name.
He also pushed to create new city public bathrooms, and most recently, pushed to fluoridate the city s water supply. While Adams is weighing his next career move, Leonard says he is truly retiring.
It kind of feels like when I graduated from high school: exciting but a little nervous about what s next. It s an experience I haven t had, said Leonard.
Both men s terms expire at the end of the year.

I would like to announce that from Sunday, the 4th May, to June 22nd 20 photographic prints of mine will be shown in the Pergamon Museum here in Berlin.
The pictures are from my portfolio on mystical Islam (see my website), and are to be seen in the staircase leading up to the Museum of Islamic art from the department of the ancient orient.
Most of the prints are multiple gum prints of about 19x42". Should you make it to Berlin in this time, the Pergamon Museum is anyway well worth a visit, and you may also have a look at my pictures.

The 2010 Inc. 5000: Top 10 Companies by Growth Rate
Kevin Paul, CEO
No. 10
2009 Revenue: $11.2 million
Three-Year Growth: 10,925.57%
Paul moved from India to Indianapolis with his parents at the age of eight but he adapted quickly, cutting his teeth as an entrepreneur by mowing lawns and working a paper route. He spoke of the stereotype of Indian parents pushing their children into the fields of law or medicine, but says his folks were supportive when he joined the Army straight out of high school and his 14 years in the service taught him to handle clients. "Just give them the facts, don't sugarcoat anything," he says. His experience at KPaul has taught him that patience and persistence are the most important factors to contracting for the government. While he's seen beginning contractors give up after six months, he says it can sometimes take years to land a sizable contract.

Critical Review by Bill Baines
SOURCE: A review of Blood Meridian, in Western American Literature, Vol. XXI, No. 1, Spring, 1986, pp. 59-60.
In the following review, Baines comments briefly on the "cruelty," "inhumanity," and "gore" present in Blood Meridian.
Set in the Southwest of the mid-nineteenth century, Blood Meridian does not invite confusion with any romantic notion of the West prevalent in that century or this. Cormac McCarthy reconstructs that West as a Daliesque stage upon which characters and forces often resonant of Shakespeare and the Bible act out their roles. Loosely based upon, or more accurately, around the Yuma Crossing Massacre of 23 April, 1850, and some of its principals, the book rises from its beginning above the mean particulars of history to universal certainties and uncertainties, the stuff of serious fiction.
McCarthy's book focuses on cruelty, perhaps man's most apparent quality in the world the author creates. The book's inhumanity is not—as is often the case in Westerns—the cruelty of white to Indian or Indian to white, but the cruelty of human to human perennial to literature and to other affairs of mankind. Underlying that and often reinforcing it is the apparent callousness of fate, indifferently and inexorably putting each person in the place or time to die in whatever predestined cruel or ridiculous manner.
As befits such matters, McCarthy's strong and often apunctuative style blends neologism and archaism in a syntax sometimes drawing on the rhythms of the Bible, sometimes on the resources of Old English, always modern in a Joycean way. Strong images abound ("… Callaghan's body floated anonymously down-river, a vulture standing between the shoulderblades in clerical black, silent rider to the sea," and later, "Downshore the dull surf boomed") and combine with the writer's cadences to give Blood Meridian both poetry and strength.
As the title might indicate, gore, the book's strongest image, dominates. If the reader has ever witnessed or cleaned up the results of a totally successful ambush, he (for most American women haven't) will be prepared for the atrocities man commits upon man in this story; if he has not, the book will slam into him like a Sam Peckinpah film.
The protagonist, a nameless and taciturn young Everyman known only as "the kid," runs away from home at fourteen to the West to keep, as it appears, his appointment with his particular destiny. The book ends in his twenty-eighth year, the time intervening filled with his wandering throughout the West from one scrape, adventure and encounter to more of the same.
It is not, however, the kid who dominates McCarthy's terra damnata, but "Judge" Holden, an enigmatic giant, a genius who proves, Renaissance-like, master of sciences, arts, crafts, war, languages—of the world. At once nihilist, absurdist, rationalist and irrationalist, the powerful judge is limned in heroic proportions, an embodiment of the evil too often inherent in the ways man handles his knowledge. Holden, the most "civilized" and rational character in the book, exhibits many of its greatest cruelties, psychological and physical, ordering, then destroying—like western man—the world without.
The reader learns little of import about the kid that is not filtered through or later interpreted by the judge. As Holden berates his sometime colleague for failure to dedicate himself wholly to war, the latter's dull, animal integrity becomes apparent. Immortality, the freedom to dance, evades him, says Holden, for it is only gained in the flux of combat through relentless cruelty and lack of mercy. Earlier in the story, another character asks about Holden, "What's he a judge of?" When in the final pages the judge thus indicts the kid, the reader learns that he is a judge of the protagonist and ultimately of all mankind.
A powerful yet dreamlike book, Blood Meridian will not appeal to the reader who either sees or seeks the nice and the pleasant in man and his world.

Okay, I need some help because of Windows 8's stupid generic blue screens. Ever since I upgraded 8 to 8.1, I've been getting blue screens on boot. It does the stupid giant frowny face and says your computer had a problem then reboots. The next time it goes to automatic repair and gives me a screen saying my PC did not start correctly with restat or advanced buttons, and up until today I've pressed Restart there and it actually does restart to the desktop successfully. Because of this and because I rarely reboot my system, I have let it go for a while but I guess the power went out today and now it won't boot at all.
The frustrating part about it is how dumbed down and generic everything is. I have no idea WHAT the issue is because all I get is a giant frown face. I can blindly click around boot records and stuff, but last time I did I don't recall finding a fix and I didn't want to inadvertantly make it worse.
Has anyone else had this issue after upgrading to 8.1, or does anyone know how to find a more meaningful error message that can actually help diagnose the issue? I'm usually the one doing the fixing, but Windows 8 is just ridiculous.
Oh, I do get the spinner like it's trying to boot for a while before the error happens, so I tend to think it's not the actual boot record or anything like that but further into the boot up. Surely I can get it to tell me the actual issue somehow?

Budget constraints force Army to make tough choices about modernization
The Army's senior leaders have made clear for months that their service's end strength will have to decrease as a result of budget pressure. But the cutbacks can't be only to personnel. Some of the Army's major modernization priorities will have to be sidelined, at least for now.

Its not empty, its a copy ctor that works like the already implemented ctor.
Im basically forcing the class to work inside vectors. (that Im assuming to require a copy ctor)
A copy constructor is defaultly generated for you, so there's no point in writing it out yourself if there's no difference from the default behavior. Which is enough if your class doesn't manage a resource.
You could write a macro to delete the default copy and assignment operator, if that suits your favor. But it doesn't do any good to put in empty methods.
The rule of three doesn't say that every class needs those three functions. It says that if it needs one of the three, then it probably needs the other two.
Yeah, but the issue is knowing when you going to need it, thus the private ones would show you instantly.
You need it when your class manages a resource. For example, when you dynamically allocate an array. You should use the most narrow class you can to manage each resource, with at most one resource per class. Dynamic arrays are almost never necessary because you can use std::vector.
Thinking deeper on it, that class should be never copied..
See, the thing is, I merely wanted to allocate n tilemaps at beginning and then never mess with it again.
TileMap is a private struct, so its use is really scoped, its merely an aux.
There would never be the need of copying stuff around, if it where not by std::vector.
Copying InstancedSprites doesnt make any sense and should not be done. And it doesnt need to be done in my code.
Basically, the usage of std::vector was the problem in the first place. The fact that it have a friendly interface but with implicity complexities pisses me off.
Now, I dont want to have a cpy ctor on InstancedSprites, but I do want an array of tile maps, and I need to choose the size at initialization..What should I do?
Having used another raw array (for TileMap) in the first place would have never caused me problems, isnt it ironic?
You should have an std::array<TileMap> each tile having a std::vector<int>. You should also avoid raw pointers that signify ownership. Prefer std::vector or smart pointers like std::unique_ptr.

Orange vs Purple

Just finished Robolution. This is my first level 69 Character.
My question is if Orange weapons are gonna always be better than Purple weapons?
In other words, if I have a purple weapon, should I just trash it till I have an inventory of all oranges? (maybe one day a pearl or two if i'm lucky)
The Prodigal Dragon
Within a class of weapons, generally an orange will be the best, but it's not a rule. The biggest exception is in SMGs, where the best are the (orange) Maliwan Hellfires, and the whatever-colored Anarchy series. Anarchies shoot 4 bullets at a time (cost of 2 ammo, like a Double) and do, well, buttloads of damage.
Usque adeone mori miserum est? After all, there's always a continue...
Nope, some purple weapons far outclass some of the orange legendaries.

Okay, but I can trash the Blue and below right?
I think I get what you're saying. Orange are somewhat "set." So Purples can get the parts to beat them. That basically it?
The way I was trying to look at it is, if I have a powerful purple, if the parts were maybe a bit better it would've been orange instead. But that's not correct.
Thanks for the quick responses.
The Prodigal Dragon
Maxed level 69 and have farmed chest over and over for months. Currently my 'best' weapons are all purple except for 1. I hold three purples and one orange. It all comes down to what you prefer. Things like more power or faster fire rate. Or elemental damage vs higher base damage.
The thing about the oranges is their hidden effect, the red flavor text on the gun card. They range from awesome to worthless and can set them apart from a technically better purple. It's all about trying the weapons out and seeing how they work for you. Hell, I still have some pretty nice blue weapons that can still hang with some purples, oranges, and even pearlescent weapons.
GT: doreycole
Just remember that Scooty-Puff Jr. sucks
My Lilith has a blue stinger that is better than her dark orange hellfire (it's a really awful hellfire). That's how random loot is in this game.
In other words...always pay attention to your loot. Know what weapon types you prefer and always pick those types up no matter what color they are and compare them to your current guns to see which is better.

This is what I've been doing. I was just hoping that now that I'm 69 and have access to the best weapons in the game, go through it all gets a lot easier... oh well for that theory.
The Prodigal Dragon
Any time you get an orange weapon go to the borderlands wiki and check the weapon out. The information on there includes more than what you see, rather it goes by the code. All orange weapons have hidden attributes, so look up there. But in the end just because a gun is more rare doesn't mean it's better. I have two orange, a purple and a white gun for my main weapons.
So double check on borderlands wiki for orange weapons and everything else look it over.
I have mixed feelings on the Legendaries. The name "Legendary" implies an epicness that they usually lack. Looking at a gun card just to read "Big Tony says 'Hi'" feels like such an insult.
Screw you Big Tony! Quit saying "Hi" so often! I wanna hear "Give sick" or maybe, just once, "Pele demands a sacrifice"! But no, Tony and his uber magazine won't leave me be!
BTW: I like how we have BahamutMega and NewBabyDragon on the same board. That's so cute. Where's Suzy_theMamaDragon?

Custance: 'Wining and dining' window's trial run endured some ups, downs and murky boundaries
by George Malik on 07/09/13 at 09:49 PM ET
Comments (1)
The Red Wings were one of the beneficiaries of the NHL's new "wining and dining" window in which teams are actually legally allowed to speak with unrestricted free agents-to-be regarding their possible "fits" in new cities.
This used to go on in generalities broached by players agents and GM's, and the extra-legal pre-free agency chit chats about, say, a client who may be available for X dollars at Y years, probably still went on between the trade deadline and the start of free agency, but the "wining and dining" window is at least supposed to bring that out into the open and actually allow both UFA's-to-be and prospective employers get to know each other over days as opposed to career-defining minutes and hours after noon.
The problem with the "wining and dining" period this year, as ESPN's Craig Custance notes (in an Insider-only article), is that dollar amounts were already being exchanged before the NHL, at the behest of one GM (cough Dean Lombardi cough), clarified the rules, and not everyone adhered to the rules of engagement given that nobody really knew what the boundaries were:

I hadn't checked any hockey news between pulling out of the driveway in South Lyon and the Burger King in Grayling, Michigan, mostly because I was pretty damn sure that Chris Chelios and Brendan Shanahan would indeed be named to the Hockey Hall of Fame's 2013 induction class today.
After wolfing down a hurried burger in Grayling, I checked my email, and the NHL's press release was there, but there was no transcript of the conference call that was supposed to go down. So I checked Twitter briefly to find out what was said, and I stumbled upon this gem from Greg "Puck Daddy" Wyshynski:

Chelios And Shanahan Part Of The 2013 HHOF Class
by Paul on 07/09/13 at 03:20 PM ET
Comments (2)
from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,
Former Detroit Red Wings teammates Chris Chelios and Brendan Shanahan will enter the Hockey Hall of Fame shoulder-to-shoulder, as both were among the 2013 inductees announced today.
The only other player to be included was defenseman Scott Niedermayer. Eligible candidates were voted on by an 18-member selection committee. The maximum number of players per class is four.
added 3:29pm, from the Detroit Red Wings,
The Hockey Hall of Fame introduced its incoming induction class of 2013 on Tuesday afternoon, which includes former Red Wings Chris Chelios and Brendan Shanahan, as well as Scott Niedermayer.
"It's a great honor to be selected for the Hockey Hall of Fame," said Chelios in a statement released by the organization. "To have such a long career in the game has been fantastic for me, and being named to the Hall is a huge recognition for what I was able to accomplish."...
"I've always been fortunate to have great teammates and coaches throughout my career," said Shanahan in a prepared statement. "At every level I have tried to learn and my key to success was having people around me that helped me improve my game.".
Shanahan was selected by the New Jersey Devils in the first round (2nd overall) in 1987. A member of the Devils for four seasons, before signing as a free agent by the St. Louis Blues in 1991. He player four seasons with the Blues and had back-to-back 50 goal seasons in 1992-93 and 1993-94.

Griffins make Hoggan and Paetsch signings official
by George Malik on 07/09/13 at 12:38 PM ET
Comments (1)
Last night, Fox 17's Steve Amorose reported that the Grand Rapids Griffins were about to re-sign captain Jeff Hoggan and Nathan Paetsch, yielding the returns of four of the 5 AHL veterans the Griffins signed this past season in Hoggan, Paetsch, and the re-signed Triston Grant and Brennan Evans (there's no news as to what Brett Skinner's plans are, but the Griffins' stacked blueline probably means that Skinner won't return).
Today, the Griffins confirmed that they're retaining Hoggan and Paetsch's services:

Red Wings mid-day news: on the significance of the Wings' summer development camp
by George Malik on 07/09/13 at 11:57 AM ET
Comments (14)
The Detroit Red Wings' summer development camp begins tomorrow in Traverse City, MI, and while we've talked about the players listed as participating and a little bit about the free agent invitees, we haven't talked about the reasons why the Wings are bringing 37 prospects and free agents (half of the roster consists of free agents, and as the Wings are at the 50-man roster limit, none of said players can hope for much more than invites to the fall prospect tournament and/or AHL deals) and one Darren Helm to Traverse City, accompanied by the Grand Rapids Griffins' coaches, goalie coach Jim Bedard, Red Wings strength and conditioning coach Peter Renzetti and Griffins strength and conditioning coach Aaron Downey, the team's equipment staff, trainers and the majority of the front office, all at great expense to the organization...

On escrow and a very important under-the-radar meeting
by George Malik on 07/09/13 at 11:46 AM ET
Comments (7)
While I was preparing my final entry before heading up to the Wings' development camp, RDS's Renaud Lavoie reported that the shrinking salary cap and players' split of revenues going down to 50% from 57% will yield yet another season of, "Cap recapture via escrow"...
And, as it turns out, a "retweet" from Justin Abdelkader revealed that the NHLPA's holding its annual summertime meeting for North American players this week, and the North American and European PA meetings are INCREDIBLY important because the PA has to sign off on the rule changes recommended by the GM's, vetted by the competition committee and approved by the Board of Governors before they take effect (see: hybrid icing, grandfathering in visor usage, etc.):

Red Wings overnight report: variations on familiar themes and good Alfredsson news for once

At this point I feel like a little bit of a broken record, but that's the way July tends to go...And as such, we're going to be talking about the incredibly high probability that Brendan Shanahan and Chris Chelios will named part of the Hockey Hall of Fame's 2013 induction class today at 3 PM EDT, we'll talk about free agent signings, a bit about the summer development camp, and we've got even more Daniel Alfredsson talk.
To switch things up, we'll start with the Free Press's Jamie Samuelssen's assessment of the Red Wings' free agent signings as compared to the moves made by the Detroit Pistons:

Grand Rapids Griffins to re-sign captain Jeff Hoggan and defenseman Nathan Paetsch
by George Malik on 07/09/13 at 12:33 AM ET
Comments (0)
I jumped the gun in assuming that the Grand Rapids Griffins had brought back one of the AHL-only contracted vets who played for the Grififns during their Calder Cup run in in defenseman Nathan Paetsch a couple days ago--when the team re-signed Triston Grant and Brennan Evans instead...
But now I don't have to worry about getting it wrong. According to Fox 17's Steve Amorose, the Griffins are indeed going to bring back Paetsch (it's entirely possible that Paetsch and Evans will be inked to two-way deals when the Wings clear roster space so that the team has #8/9 defensemen to recall in case of injuries, too) and Griffins captain Jeff Hoggan as well:

Red Wings evening news: 'old' Wings, Hall-of-Famers, prospects and grades
by George Malik on 07/08/13 at 07:49 PM ET
Comments (9)
Most of this evening's Red Wings-related news (and given my travel commitments, this may be the overnight report, folks) touches upon topics that you and I've discussed during the mid-day post and overnight report (as well as the releasing of the Wings' summer development camp roster), but I had to laugh when I read the Wall Street Journal's Mike Sielski suggest that the Wings are going back to an, "Old tricks are the best tricks" model of free agent recruitment:
By signing free-agent forward Daniel Alfredsson to a one-year contract last week, the Detroit Red Wings continued a long-running franchise tradition: acquiring old guys. Alfredsson, who spent 17 seasons with the Ottawa Senators and turned 40 in December, will be the ninth 40-something to play for the Wings since 2000. In fact, Detroit could put a pretty fair team on the ice with all those geezers. They include perhaps the greatest goaltender of his generation (Dominik Hasek), three defensemen who either have been or will be inducted into the Hall of Fame (Chris Chelios, Larry Murphy, Nicklas Lidstrom) and a group of All-Star-caliber forwards (Steve Yzerman, Mike Modano, Igor Larionov and Steve Thomas).

Seems like you are moving down a parallel path.
My brother and I have messed with a few container ideas as we work on a concept for a shared cabin idea. I saw that lift when I was watching footage of the German military pulling out of Afghanistan. I started watching eBay and saw one pop up that was mislabeled as a 'heavy equipment high lift jack'.

LIMA — A man charged with murdering his girlfriend in 2012 pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter during a court hearing Thursday morning.
Raymond Collins fatally strangled his girlfriend, Teresa Burge, at her Holmes Avenue home in January 2012.
Allen County Common Pleas Court Judge Jeffrey Reed told Collins that by pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter, he waived his right to cross-examination during trial and waived his right to appeal the decision. Collins said he understood. A voluntary manslaughter charge is a first-degree felony.
"The state is going to amend the charge, from the murder charge that's indicted, to a charge of voluntary manslaughter," Reed said.
Collins' attorney Jerry Pitts read his plea to the judge; Collins also signed a written statement.
A manslaughter charge usually warrants between three and 11 years in prison. A convicted murderer could serve anywhere from 15 years to life.
Although a first-degree manslaughter charge doesn't necessary mean prison time, Judge Reed told Collins there's a chance mandatory sentencing could take effect because Collins may have a prior record in Texas.
If Collins' charges in Texas are first- or second-degree felonies or the equivalent to Ohio's, Reed said, Collins automatically could serve between three and 11 years in prison.
Otherwise, community control — much like probation — is a possibility.
"In terms of knowing if your prior offenses are felonies of the first- or second- degree, or the equivalent to a felony of the first- or second-degree, there is a mandatory prison sentence. I have to send you to prison, anywhere from three to 11 years.
A sentencing hearing for Collins is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Aug. 5.

Warcraft Expansion Sells Over 3 Million On First Day
Activision Blizzard Inc., formerly Activision Inc., sold more than 3 million copies of its latest "World of Warcraft" expansion game on its first day on the market.
The company told Reuters on Monday that "World of Warcraft: Cataclysm," which launched on December 7, sold 3.3 million copies on its first day, surpassing the record set by its previous release — "World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King" — in November 2008.
The massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) has some 12 million subscribers worldwide, providing Activision Blizzard with a steady and recurring revenue. Nearly half of its subscribers come from Asia, and the rest are from western countries, analysts report.
"Assuming the positive trends extend beyond the first 24 hours post-release, we expect stable to slightly higher subscriber levels for WoW in North America and Europe," said Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian in a research note.
Nearly 40 percent of Activision's revenue comes from MMORPGs. Shares of the California-based gaming company fell 2 percent to $11.99 in afternoon trading on the NASDAQ on Monday.

Huccording to the BLS, "Our analysis suggests that Hurricane Sandy did not substantively impact the national employment and unemployment estimates for November."
According to the BLS, 12 million people were officially unemployed. The labor force participation rate, which grew by 0.2 percent in October, shrank back by 0.2 percent in November to 63.6 percent, while the employment-population ratio edged down from 58.8 percent to 57.7 percent.
A broader measure of unemployment, called the U6, which includes not just technically unemployed people but those who are underemployed and those who say they want a job but aren't counted in the workforce, fell from 14.6 percent to 14.4 percent.

FIFA's Sepp Blatter says he's not responsible for corruption
Vowing to fight corruption, absolving himself of responsibility and calling on FIFA's members to help rebuild trust, FIFA president Sepp Blatter spoke in general terms about the Wednesday arrests of FIFA members following a probe by the U.S. Justice Department.
In his welcome speech on Thursday to the 65th FIFA Congress ahead of Friday's presidential election, Blatter spoke publicly for the first time since the corruption scandals threw FIFA into crisis.

Is there any web-based or desktop tool that can tell me the performance and quality of a name server? I have the option to use my ISP or my domain registar's name server, I need some help to decide.

Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Sheer speed probably isn't the only thing you should be looking for. It's very possible that your ISP will show as better if you're testing from a connection on the ISP's network, where as your Hosting provider might have multiple servers local to various exchanges that would make their DNS servers faster over all!
Are the DNS servers in different separate network segments? Are they using technologies like Anycast/Heartbeat to ensure redundancy? What's the management interface like? What kind of monitoring do they have?
It's relatively easy to set-up DNS servers like Bind, NSD, PowerDNS etc. these days to be very fast on benchmarks like given by Madboy, but there's lots of other factors to consider as well.

Vet Courts Bill Keeps Moving Along
A local effort to help troubled veterans could be expanding.
State Senator Jennifer Shilling and State Representatives Steve Doyle and Jill Billings want to expand the La Crosse County Veterans Court to include surrounding counties. And the bi partisan interest is growing.
The court takes veterans who have had run ins with the law and puts them in a program that can handle specific veterans needs.
Miller Says Vikings Plans Getting Confusing
Three Minnesota state senators unveiled a Vikings stadium funding plan Thursday morning. Roger Chamberlain, David Hann and Pam Wolf, all Republicans, introduced a plan that would generate some of the funding for a new Minneapolis stadium through ticket surcharges. We talked with one of their colleagues, Winona Republican Senator, Jeremy Miller about the plan. He says it's starting to get confusing.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, Republican Rod Hamilton of Mountain Lake introduced a bill calling for a roofed stadium to be built at the Vikings' first location choice, in Arden Hills, with funding coming from electronic bingo and pull tabs. The Vikings have not yet offered any comment on Hamilton's stadium plan.
Braun's Back....Here Come The Brewers
(AP) National League MVP Ryan Braun's 50-game suspension has been overturned by baseball arbitrator Shyam Das. The decision was announced Thursday by the Major League Baseball Players Association. An outfielder for Milwaukee, Braun tested positive in October for elevated testosterone, and ESPN revealed the positive test in December. No reasoning was given for Thursday's decision. ``Today the arbitration panel announced its decision, by a 2-1 vote, to sustain Ryan Braun's grievance challenging his 50-game suspension by the commissioner's office,'' a statement from the players' association.
Redistricting Maps Go On Trial
(AP) After two days of delays, a federal trial is set to begin in Milwaukee in a case involving the state's latest election maps. The maps show which voters are in which voting districts. The district boundaries are adjusted every 10 years to reflect updated U.S. Census numbers. Republican lawmakers drew up the latest maps in strict secrecy last year and passed them in a GOP-led Legislature. Democrats have challenged the GOP-friendly maps for shifting the districts for hundreds of thousands of voters without a good reason. An immigrant-rights group has also sued, alleging that the boundaries divide Latino blocs, weakening their voting power. They're suing the state Government Accountability Board to prevent it from implementing the new maps. The trial starts Thursday morning. It's expected to wrap up late Friday.
Latest Vikings Stadium Proposals
(AP) Several Republican state lawmakers are proposing a Vikings stadium plan that would drastically reduce the size of the taxpayer contribution. Sen. Roger Chamberlain of Lino Lakes says Thursday his bill would have the state contribute $300 million from sales taxes on stadium-related purchases including tickets, concessions and parking. That's less than half the $600 million to $700 million taxpayer share under discussion in recent stadium negotiations. Vikings owners would have to make up the difference on a roughly $1 billion stadium. A Vikings spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Chamberlain's bill eliminates the state's business property tax which he says would make it easier for the Vikings to get private support for the project. He says he's trying to find a plan that can pass the Legislature.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Waltrip races way into Daytona 500
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
Michael Waltrip will race once more in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Daytona 500.
NASCAR on FOX brings live coverage of the Sprint Cup race at Dover International Speedway on Sunday. The green flag drops at 1 p.m. ET, with coverage on FOX beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET.
On Thursday, Waltrip finished 14th in the Budweiser Duel race 1 at Daytona International Speedway to secure his starting position in the Great American Race.
Waltrip will start 29th in Sunday's Daytona 500 (Noon ET on FOX) — with a special message to boot. He is driving with logos for the Sandy Hook School Support Fund designed to raise funds for Newtown, Conn., and the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook school shootings.
"It's just an honor to be able to race this car," Waltrip said. "We went to Newtown a couple weeks ago and met with the town. Couldn't wait to give them something to smile about. It's been obviously a tough couple of months. Obviously all the fans are texting Newtown, 80888, rebuilding the town, whatever they need that money for, we're glad we can help out.
"Secondarily, we know we're going to give them something to cheer about in the 500. There's so many race fans in the Northeast; it's an honor to race it."
Waltrip admitted that he carried pressure into the race. He wasn't locked in through his qualifying run or with owners points, so it was all on the two-time Daytona 500 winner. While only two drivers would go home, he snared the position the best way possible — on his own merit.
"It's always something," he said of his feelings entering the race. "It seems like every time I was carrying a lot of hopes and dreams, people that I wanted to cheer up on my car ... so it meant a lot to us to put it in. Two cars are going to miss it. If I get wrecked in that crash, I could have been one of the two."

What The Future Will Bring
Since my parents have been gone, I tend to realize more of what is around me, and what has disappeared.
You get to feeling that your time here on earth will pass you by quicker than you think. Because a part of you (your family) is no longer roaming the earth...but just may be a part of it...or maybe a part of something else (angels, spirits, or whatever you believe in).
So what do you do now? Live your life to the fullest? Fall into a mass depression that you can't shake? I prefer none of these. I prefer to be happy and satisfied and I don't have to live my life to fullest either. The only thing I want to do, is just live it. Plain and simple. If I learn something along the way, then so be it.
Sure, I will always miss my parents because they are not on this earth, but that doesn't mean I still can't enjoy myself the way I like while I am here. Right? (meaning, not destructively)
My mood: pretty tired
An Introduction To An Explanation
The picture that I have as my avatar, is a picture of me when I was around 10 or 11 years old, and it is intended to be blurred...just in case anyone was wondering.
Anyways, this blog is dedicated to my parents. My mother passed away in April of 2006 (she was 63 years old) and my father just recently passed away in July of 2012 (he was 79 years old).
In my blog entries, there will times that appear as if I am writing letters to my parents, and other times, it will be of memories and experiences I had of my parents when they were alive.
Now this might be a bit unusual for someone to do. Or times where it seems that I have not fully let go and/or haven't excepted the fact that they are not on this earth anymore. A small part of that is true, but I think this blog is more of a healing process, At the same time, this is a blog where I can hold onto memories and keep them fresh in my mind.
You are more than welcome to read and comment if you like. I don't bite, and I take things very lightly and don't get offended easily.
So anyways, welcome to my past...
My mood: pretty determined

In less than three months, Pakistani electorate goes to the polls. As the country prepares for a democratic transition, understanding the framework that defines the nation's identity is important
In 2008, more than 60 years after the 79-year old sant from Sabarmati attained martyrdom after uttering Hey Ram thrice, my renewed interest in Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi found expression in the form of exploration — of Gandhi-related literature and cinema. I stumbled upon the Oscar-winning film on him — one, which not so long ago, doordarshan used to screen on every possible day of national importance, with a religious fervour.
In an Ironic — and a wholly unexpected twist — I also came across, for the first time, another biopic, on someone who became a convert, from a fellow protagonist to an antithesis, in Gandhi's quest to give country [ies] swaraj.
It was Jamil Dehlavi's Jinnah (1998). Gandhi and Jinnah, on the same page, of the search results!
It had these lines are prelude:
"Few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-state. Mohammad Ali Jinnah did all three." Stanley Wolpert, Jinnah of Pakistan (1984).
The Quaid and the Mahatma in a September 1944 photo. -- PHOTO: WIKIMEDIA COMMONS
Opening sequence of the film: It's 1948. In 'our' universe, Jinnah is dead.
In a parallel universe, a modern day gatekeeper, a Chitragupt (here played by a still-charming Shashi Kapoor) needs to prepare a balance sheet, detailing Jinnah's actions. Due to a computer error, Jinnah's life history has been lost.
It is upto Jinnah to be faithful to his past and provide an account of his epoch-making life. He does it, warts and all.
Towards the end of the movie, we are taken to the 1990s, the post-Babri Masjid demolition period. Jinnah, Gandhi and others — occupying the 'parallel' universe — could be seen observing and pondering over the state affairs in India and in Pakistan in the post-Babri Masjid demolition period.
Fast forward. It's 2013. Let's assume that the Quaid-e-azam (Great Leader), from the same parallel universe, is observing Pakistan's present — it's civilian government completing full term. The country would face elections in three months. It's political bosses are keeping their fingers crossed as it would be a historic moment -- the country's first democratic transition from one elected government to another.
What would the Quaid have to say to his 180 million citizens? Having once assured its citizens that they are "free to go to your [their] temples" and "free to go to your [their] mosques or to any other place of worship", would he like to see the desecration of not just temples, but holy places of any subjective 'other'?
He said that a Pakistani may "belong to any religion or caste or creed. That has nothing to do with the business of the State". Would he like to see not only minorities like Ahmadis and Shias, but Sunnis (supposed to be a 'majority') themselves persecuted?
As Mohsin Hamid, in his article points out:
"What then is the status of the country's majority? In Pakistan, there is no such thing. Punjab is the most populous province, but its roughly 100 million people are divided by language, religious sect, outlook and gender. Sunni Muslims represent Pakistan's most populous faith, but it's dangerous to be the wrong kind of Sunni. Sunnis are regularly killed for being open to the new ways of the West, or for adhering to the old traditions of the Indian subcontinent, for being liberal, for being mystical, for being in politics, the army or the police, or for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time."
For more information on Hazara Shias, this would be an excellent source. Also, good analysis by Anita Joshua, our correspondent in Islamabad.
Would the Quaid have anticipated this? Would his heart bleed at this? Who would he consider blaming? His own failing health at the time of independence? Or the way in which some of his ideas have been 'mutilated' by the deep state in Pakistan? Or simply the force of Providence?
Framing a Constitution
Though Pakistan attained independence in 1947, its founders could give itself an indigenous constitution only in 1956, which was abrogated just two years later.. The nation had already lost its Quaid in September 1948.
Out of the 66 years of its existence, Pakistan has been ruled by military dictators for 32 years — a little less than half the time. The civilian leadership that emerged lacked a coherent vision, zeal, to think from a long-term perspective; to keep the interests of not only the present generation but also future generations in mind.
So what was the 'vision' of Pakistan or the 'concept' of Pakistan Jinnah had in mind?
In two scholarly articles, AG Noorani analyses this. In the first article, he raises this question:
"Terrorism and religious intolerance prompt Pakistanis to ask, 'Is this the Pakistan which Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah aspired to establish?'"
The answer he gives is emphatic:
"It [the question] has, however, two facets – the concept and the vision." He asserts that Jinnah "envisioned Pakistan as a modern democratic state", one in which "minorities were not discriminated against".
He is quick to add, "There is less clarity on his concept of Pakistan. Contrary to popular impression, Jinnah did not have a cut-and-dried blueprint. It was work in progress. Expositions followed with time and circumstance. They were none too consistent."
The following paragraph sums up the essence of the article:
"A proposal for the partition of any country, especially one like India, had to be clear on seven points — territory of the proposed new state; the status of minorities in both states; links between the two states; exchange of population; a 'corridor' between the two wings of the new state; the nature of the proposed state; and the place of the princely Indian states in the proposed set-up. There was no codified scheme covering these points. Jinnah's expositions flowed with changing times, from 1940 to 1947."
Among the seven 'questions' raised, four — territory, status of minorities, links and nature of the state — still find themselves looking for answers. How does Pakistan want to treat its minorities? What kind of links — political, economic, people-to-people — would it like to maintain with India? And what about the territory, where there are competing claims both to its east and its west (Afghanistan never formally accepted the Durand Line)?
Sanguine about the future
The second article concludes with an argument and a hope.
"The harsh truth is that the concept of Pakistan was inherently flawed. It was evolved in response to queries as to what Jinnah had to offer as an alternative to a federation. Jinnah hoped to negotiate. The Congress was in no mood to negotiate and was prepared to concede Pakistan rather than share power."
However, he ends on an optimistic note, one perhaps Pakistan's electorate can consider analysing:
"Pakistan flourished despite the terrible flaws in the concept. This was thanks entirely to its people….Today, the young share Jinnah's vision and are determined to make it real. The concept of Pakistan lies miles behind them, historically. The vision of its founder moves them today. And they are certain to succeed."
Quaid's ideas not gaining currency could have to do with the enigma associated with his personality? -- PHOTO:FOTOPEDIA
Though the creation of Pakistan was a tragic mistake, it is an operational reality. It has endured all its existential crises. However, the country would perhaps flourish further if learns to confront its past — something its Military-Mullah Inc is loath to.
Would Jinnah's spirit confront the statements made about his mortal self, like the one in this article by Ramachandra Guha?
"The legacy of Jinnah is more problematic. For, the man who fought long and hard for a homeland for Muslims made a late, isolated speech saying that religion had no business to be associated with the affairs of the State. The speech, like the man himself, remains a mystery, an enigma, a riddle."
A riddle perhaps 180 million Pakistanis are confronting?
Redefining identities
At the root of many issues of Pakistan is the way the country as a whole, its citizens, are 'made' to define themselves, in complete subversion of principles inherent in their Constitution.
In other words, there is a need to [for both India and Pakistan] redefine our identities — both absolute and relative. An ex-Indian diplomat is supposed to have stated: "[P]romoting peace between India and Pakistan is like trying to treat two patients whose only disease is an allergy to each other."
Maybe it's time to do some re-assessment so that the 'allergy' disappears. Or at least becomes irrelevant?
About four months after the then Punjab Governor Salman Taseer had been assassinated, his son Aatish Taseer, in an article for The Wall Street Jounal, wrote:
"...Pakistan defined itself by its opposition to India….The new country set itself the task of erasing its association with the subcontinent, an association that many came to view as a contamination".
Also, "Pakistan, by asserting a new Arabised Islamic identity, rejected its own local and regional culture. In trying to turn its back on its shared past with India, Pakistan turned its back on itself".
Though the article came under heavy criticism in blogs and newspapers, it did make a relevant point in asking: How should a Pakistani define himself/herself?
Shahbaz Bhatti, The then Minorities Affairs Minister who was assasinated in 2011 for standing against the country's blasphemy laws. --PHOTO: AP
To point the finger inward: How should an Indian define himself/herself in relation to the neighbour to its West?
These are questions that perhaps we need to explore, in the transition period and after Pakistan sees a transfer of power from one civilian government to the other. And these are questions the apparition of the Quaid cannot shy away from confronting.

Breckenridge Marijuana Penalty Removal Initiative (2009)
Initiated by Sensible Breckenridge, a local reform group, the measure called for the removal of local penalties of private marijuana possession of up to one ounce. The penalties, which includes a $100 fine, would be removed for residents who are 21 and older. After submitting three times more than the required 500 petition signatures, the town clerk verified the validity of each one by July 27, 2009.
Members of the group claimed that criminalizing a substance that is "less intoxicating, less addictive and less dangerous" than that of alcohol is not sensible.[1]
Election results
The measure was approved.[2]

Although the legalization to carry marijuana passed in the town, state wide it is still illegal to be in possession of marijuana. Though many in the town see it is a step to the larger question of state wide legalization, others see it as a way to bring the wrong type of visitors to the resort town. It is still a family oriented ski resort and those that run the local businesses and hotels do not plan to change the way they operate, in many business owner's view nothing has really changed with the passing of this measure. The question of increased ski accidents was brought up as an argument against, but a local attorney who specialized in ski related accidents said alcohol is the major contributor to accidents and did not think this measure would change that.[3]
