text: Hi there, I'm trying to get LVM working on Linux but is being very frustrating to me. I'm running kernel version 2.4.14 and the disks where I'm tryng to do LVM are QUANTUM Model: ATLAS10K2-TY367 (scsi) I've already tried these versions of LVM: lvm_0.6, lvm_1.0.1 and lvm_1.0.1-rc4. All of them give some trouble, but the main problem is that I can't create the volume group. I followed the howto and partitioned the disks and changed the type to 8e, I was able to run pvcreate on the two disks /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, but when I tried to create the volume group I'm getting the following error # vgcreate lvmdisk /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 vgcreate -- ERROR "pv_read(): PV identifier invalid" reading physical volumes With the version lvm_1.0.1 I was able to create it and mount, but when I rebooted the computer I couldn't mount it again, the volume wasn't detected and the data tha I put on it was lost. I did a trace of the command and I can see that it opens the files /etc/lvmtab, /etc/lvmtab.d /dev/lvm /etc/lvmtab /proc/partitions and /proc/devices in that order, and after that it gives me the error. Am I missing something? Could Somebody tell me how can I get over this trouble? Regards.

How I Label Myself and Why | sasorispuppet412's Blog
When I first found Satan I simply called myself a Satanist. Anything with Anton LaVey's name in it I ignored because I did not agree with his concept of the self being more important than Satan, Lucifer, or any Demon and I was more focused on finding others who agreed with me. I agree with many of the beliefs he outlines, most sound like he took Theistic Satanism and switched it up a bit to make it something that suits his needs. Anyway, I never found another group I completely agreed with (surprise, surprise). There are so many different covens out there and I fit in completely with none of them.
After numerous experiences with those who assumed that I was LaVeyan and accused me of being an attention seeking atheist, I labeled myself a Theistic Satanist. Some ignored me completely after this, others verbally assaulted me, many more tried to convert me, but after six months or so I stopped receiving abuse. Sure people didn't agree with me, but when I was not trying to get attention for it and didn't bring up religion whenever possible, most of the kids in my school forgot about it. Even in my heavily Christian hometown I was basically left alone. No household pets went missing, cattle were not slaughtered in their pastures, and the areas churches were left intact, so no one gave me trouble. Now if anything like that had happened I would have most definitely been blamed for it, but that is of no concern now.
I also use the term "Devil Worshipper" when I am talking to those who are genuinely interested in learning, if I use this term with some other people who do not know me they tend to slowly back away... but Devil Worshipper is simply a term for a Satanist with the traditional theistic beliefs (that Satan and his demons are actual entities), but it sounds scary and has a negative perception because of popular culture and the media. Most often I refer to myself as a Theistic Satanist; same meaning, slightly less scary term.

Calculating the Value of Games
Posted on March 24, 2014 AT 08:13am
Value is one of the most subjective concepts in the world and thus can be difficult to nail down. Something that might be of great value to one person can just as easily be a terrible deal for someone else. Spurned by the release of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, this is a topic that has been discussed frequently in the last week. There is a system which I use to judge how much value something has in relation to the amount of time is spent enjoying it. I'd like to share that with you today, but know that you may not agree with it, and that's perfectly okay, it's just something that has worked for me in the past.
This method uses a trip to the movies as our control variable to determine a fair amount of time for money. Movie prices differ all across the country, but I'd say a very fair number to put on a movie ticket that someone will happily pay is about $10. Now that we've got that settled, let's get an amount of time you'll be entertained by said movie. Feature length is technically 90 minutes, but let's round up to 2 hours since plenty of movies are longer.
Okay, from the facts stated thus far, we've determined that, as far as movies go, people will happily pay $10 for around 2 hours of entertainment. Since money and time do not change between these mediums, let's start applying these principles to games. With that in mind, for a game with a typical sticker price of $60, you should be getting at least 12 hours of entertainment out of it to get the full value from it. If you look at a lot of single-player games, this number actually tends to follow through pretty well. There are plenty of games with campaigns that last 12 hours or more.
These assumptions end up meaning that games with longer campaigns or multiplayer attached to them can be amazing values for your money. There are some RPGs that have lasted me past the 60 hour mark, which is pretty outstanding. What you have to remember as well is that time additionally can have value. You might not have the 60 hours to play through that RPG, so a nice 12 hour game might actually be a better value for your combined time and money. This is where the subjective nature of value really comes into play.
Just for fun, let's take a look at Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes in these terms. Personally, it took me about 90 minutes to get through the main mission in the game. That works out to about $7.50 in value of I'm going to stop there. As it stands, I plan on continuing, so I could still get my value out of it, but it is certainly skirting the line even then. Thankfully, I used points on my credit card to get it, but it's still a dangerous precedent to set.
What do you think about the value of games? Is my analogy a fair method to use for calculating it, or is there a better way you can think of? Let me know in the comments!

First thing off: I don't use skype nor ICQ (as they are proprietary closed protocols), but I have jabber. 20 years of experience with almost every flavour of industrial unixen, portable programming (C-99, POSIX, autotools), portable shell programming (POSIX.2) — dealt with many subtleties in different implementations. I work fast, if in doubt, ask for the estimate time. Probably it'll be cheaper than hiring someone with lower rate, but who'll spend several times more hours. I'm honest, reliable and tenacious. If I apply, that means that I'm 100% sure I can do the job meeting my high quality standards. The code must "just work", elegant and concise. There's too much non-working, ugly and bloated stuff around:( Lifetime warranty for my work (doesn't include new features though). • Automating everything • UNIX system programming including embedded systems • Web scraping and any other text transformations/extractions. • Consulting about UNIX shell scripting (bourne shell, bash, awk, sed, [BE]RE etc). • Anyway, the list is not full, as I have experience ranging from Jenkins CI setups and maintenance to writing parsers with lex/yacc. From IP traffic handling in C++ (libnetfilter_queue plus iptables custom kernel module) to product installers. I use Gentoo and EMACS. PS. oDesk thinks my photo isn't "professional". Therefore I have none. I'm easily googlable though, and if you want you can find any information about me outside of oDesk.

Coast Guard fails to remove Viet ship
LEGAZPI CITY—Coast guards on Monday failed anew to extract a 2,999-ton Vietnamese cargo ship that was washed ashore by strong waves spawned by Tropical Storm "Gorio" in Barangay (village) San Roque, 2 kilometers from the city proper.
The MV Minh Tuan 68 has been impounded by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) since September last year after it entered the city port with 94,000 bags of rice smuggled from Vietnam.
It was anchored a few hundred meters off the port until it was swept by winds and waves to the shore of San Roque at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
Disaster officials said the vessel went adrift on Saturday because its crew could not start the engine as the fuel tank was empty. Only five Vietnamese crew members were left on the vessel as six others had already returned home to Vietnam.
For two hours, a tugboat owned by Sun West Corp. tried to retrieve the ship at high tide at noon but was unsuccessful, said Commo. Aaron Reconquista, PCG commanding officer in Bicol. It ended its operation at low tide and would try again at midnight of Monday.
Reconquista said the mission would also depend on the availability of two more tugboats to help pull the Minh
Tuan back to sea.
The PCG has proposed to the BOC District Office here to bring the vessel to the Sula Channel, a cove in Barangay Sula, Bacacay, Albay, 22 km from the city.
Leovigildo Doyoja, BOC-Legazpi customs collector, said in a phone interview that the agency would not object to the transfer if the PCG could guarantee that the ship will not escape.
The vessel, owned and operated by Ming Truong Shipping Lines, arrived here on Sept. 2, 2012, but it was impounded by the BOC and PCG for transporting 94,000 bags of smuggled rice from Vietnam. Mar S. Arguelles, Inquirer Southern Luzon

text: Mad about the boy: quintessential country style in Wiltshire Fifties styling and a quintessential country venue were the ideal mix for Carolyn and Alex Share on Pinterest Email to a friend Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Google Plus 1/21 Over the threshold "I liked Alex right from the start: he's a true gentleman and knows how to make me laugh," says Carolyn, who first met her beau at a work function. After two years of dating and a proposal in a luxe hotel with the Hong Kong skyline as a backdrop, the couple started creating their summer wedding.Photography by Jodie Chapman 2/21 To the manor born "Choosing the venue was by far the most difficult part of our planning," remembers Carolyn. They considered a destination do, then at least 200 UK locations before they found The Rectory in Crudwell, Wiltshire. "It's a chic, romantic boutique hotel with food to die for. It took eight months to find, but it was perfect. " 3/21 A sweeping statement A hundred guests joined together to watch Carolyn and Alex say their vows and see the bride walk down the aisle in a sweeping off-white duchesse satin gown by Pronovias. "I loved the simplicity of the dress and the way I could add my personality through statement accessories" she says. 4/21 Twinkle toes Carolyn's sparkly Louboutin peep-toes were the stars of the show, which complemented a necklace, earrings and hair slide from Basia Zarzycka, all gifts from her mum. 5/21 Well-groomed "Alex knew from the start that he wanted a Mad Men-inspired look, so we found a well-cut navy suit, waistcoat and tie at Paul Smith," says Carolyn. 6/21 Fifties fabulous The bridesmaids also worked the theme in standout raspberry cocktail dresses from Coast. 7/21 Savvy stationery To complete the Fifties look, left-over retro Save The Dates, created by Wedding Paper Divas, were strung up as banners. 8/21 Wheels of fortune And the couple travelled from the church to the hotel in true Mad Men style in a 1959 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire from Haynes Motor Museum. 9/21 Pretty poms Splashes of raspberry, light pink and yellow throughout the reception marquee brought a fresh look to the décor. "My chief bridesmaid, Fiona, and I spent an afternoon making 100 tissue pom poms - they were stolen as keepsakes by the end of the day!" 10/21 Outdoor décor The bursts of colour continued outside where Carolyn hung more pretty pink pom poms. 11/21 Fields of gold Table decorations included ribbon-adorned pitchers of meadow flowers such as peonies, hydrangeas, freesias, gypsophila and sweetpeas. The couple sourced wooden numbers from Ebay and painted them yellow to match the bright flowers. Tempting chocolate treats in mini buckets added a personal touch to the tables. "Before I met Alex, I spent a year studying in Italy, so I wanted to incorporate an Italian detail into our day," explains Carolyn. "I sourced zinc pales online and filled them with Baci chocolates which sat on our tables in place of petit fours." 12/21 We're jammin' The couple gave guests favours of homemade jam made by three generations of Irwin women: Alex's grandmother, his mum and new addition to the family Carolyn. "I designed the Spread The Love labels and decorated the jars with hessian and ribbon," she says. "It was a fab idea, but there were lots of late nights spent making jam so don't think homemade is easy!" 13/21 Say cheese! Guests were kept entertained with thoughtful touches. "We created a Prop Stop with flags, hats and masks from Cox & Cox as well as disposable, Polaroid and digital cameras," says Carolyn. 14/21 Keep them sweet And guests were treated to a sweets table with a selection of bon bons in glass kiln jars from TK Maxx, metal scoops and traditional pink and white striped paper bags from Ebay. 15/21 Labour of love Carolyn made the hanging table plan herself using ribbons in her wedding colours of yellow and pink and hung it bunting-style from a fireplace. 16/21 Floating on air Alex and Carolyn made balloons a feature of their day. Silver heart-shaped and large white balloons adorned the entrances to the marquee, while smaller white balloons lined the path to the church and the driveway to the hotel. "We spent a fortune on them," says Carolyn. 17/21 Go like hotcakes It was a case of the more the merrier when it came to cakes. Alongside the cheese cake and wedding cake the couple also asked guests to bring and bake cakes. 18/21 Signs of affection "Our guests went to a huge amount of trouble so I made heart-shaped signs for each of the cakes, detailing the type of cake it was and who it was made by," says Carolyn. 19/21 A family affair To keep costs down, Carolyn enlisted the help of Alex's mum when it came to the wedding cake. The resulting fruit and coco cake was decorated with ribbons and flowers and finished off with bespoke bride and groom cake toppers that Carolyn found on Etsy. "Alex is a huge sci-fi fan, so as a surprise I had the groom designed to look like Clark Kent!" 20/21 Savoury style To complete the cake-filled celebration, the couple ordered a cheese tower from House of Cheese, which was enjoyed by guests at the evening buffet. 21/21 Song and a dance The evening entertainment got off to a start with a retro flourish, when Carolyn's cousin Sean from tribute act Frankly Sinatra surprised the couple by crooning Fly Me to the Moon for their first dance. Later, DJs The Wedding Smashers kept the dancefloor packed. "My Irish and Alex's Australian families challenged each other to a dance-off," Carolyn says. "At one point the Irish even jigged the Aussies into a wall!" loading... Tags real wedding, summer wedding, wedding dress, marquee wedding, balloons

I honestly would take one from last year, but i cannot find a single one anywhere here in dayton, and they don't have them on the Reds fan shop either.

Kommando. I have two words for you on your last post......... you're right. All the examples you gave are fairly accurate, have happened, do happen and will happen. When people we entrust with our laws, our safety, etc willfully and egregiously violate them...the hammer must fall, and hard. In a perfect world, I could call you nuts, and refute all of these scenarios. I wish I could. I cant. The only thing that I can say is that it is a small percentage we are discussing that break the public trust. Oftentimes, people placed in positions of power abuse this power. Human nature, I suppose. This ranges from the police officer driving 90mph to get home and is off duty in his squad car---I see this constantly (minor) to judges, city councilmembers, to senators, and world leaders (major) violating the rights of their own people for personal gain. Its sickening. Just like speeding fines are doubled in construction zones, penalties for these people should be doubled. I also think its been at least 3 posts since the word douche was used....its about due to be thrown out there again... and ride4fun....HAHAHA I WOULD bring that pic in, say that you wanted to emulate the CHP officers as their training is known to be some of the best (it really is from what I've heard/read) . That alone will get you out of your ticket. 99.765% guaranteed.

Eve Samples: Making sense of the amendments
Voting, that most basic of exercises in democracy, is looking a lot like a graduate-level research project this year.
The 11 constitutional amendments on the Nov. 6 ballot are so verbose, they seem designed to confuse Florida voters.
As you might have suspected, these aren't amendments that bubbled up from the masses.
All 11 were placed on the ballot by Tallahassee lawmakers.
If that makes you uneasy, wait until you hear the disparate topics they tackle: federal health care reform; taxes; abortion; separation of church and state; and oversight of higher education.
Today, let's take a closer look at the five amendments that will affect your pocketbook most directly. They are Amendments 2, 4, 9, 10 and 11, and all involve property taxes.
I'll help you decipher what impact they would have in Martin County, and you decide how to vote.
Amendment 2: Disabled veterans
Combat-injured veterans over 65 who lived in Florida when they entered the military currently get a property tax break based on their disability rating. A "yes" vote is in favor of expanding eligibility to those who lived in other states when they entered the military.
In Martin County, only two veterans now receive this discount. If the amendment passes, about 345 property owners would become eligible, costing $200,000 to $300,000 in local tax revenue annually, Property Appraiser Laurel Kelly estimates.
Amendment 4: Property tax limits
This is the biggie. It's the most expensive and the most complicated of the property tax amendments.
It also relates to Save Our Homes, a 1992 constitutional amendment that is beloved by many longtime residents because it caps assessed value increases at 3 percent a year — but hated by many snowbirds and newer homebuyers because it allows neighbors in similar homes to pay vastly different taxes.
The new amendment, which has a statewide price tag of about $1 billion over the first three years, would:
• Grant a one-time property tax exemption of 50 percent to people buying a home for the first time in three years. The exemption would phase out over five years.
The Florida Association of Realtors has spent millions pushing this amendment, which it claims will spur the housing market. Kelly said she plans to vote "no" on it because she's concerned that first-time buyers might not realize their mortgage will balloon.
• Repeal a rule that lets assessed property values rise as market values drop when there is a gap between the two. About 11,000 property owners in Martin County fall into that category now — not nearly as many as during the real estate boom. Kelly estimates repealing the rule would reduce local tax revenue by $1.4 million a year.
• Limit assessment increases of non-homestead properties, including seasonal homes and commercial property, to 5 percent a year (from 10 percent now). The tax impact to Martin County would be about $350,000 annually, Kelly estimated.
"It's not a tax break for current homesteaders," Kelly said of the breaks in Amendment 4. "If you're not the person getting the benefit of the lower value, you're the person paying for it."
Amendment 9: Surviving spouses
Voting "yes" on this amendment supports a full property tax exemption for surviving spouses of first responders who die in the line of duty and spouses of troops who die from service-related causes while on active duty.
The cost in Martin County is expected to be negligible. Statewide, the estimate is $600,000 a year.
Amendment 10: Tangible personal property
A "yes" vote is for doubling the exemption (from $25,000 to $50,000) that businesses receive on tangible property such as machinery, tools, furniture and other equipment. It would cost Martin County about $560,000 a year, Kelly estimates.
Amendment 11: Low-income seniors
This amendment would let local governments waive all property taxes for low-income seniors who have a household income of less than $27,030, own a home worth less than $250,000 and have lived in the home at least 25 years. The price tag for Martin County is the smallest of all the amendments, at about $56,000 a year, Kelly said. Statewide, the impact is $28 million over three years.
All constitutional amendments require at least 60 percent of the vote to pass.
If all five of these attract that much support, Martin County governments would lose about $5.3 million a year in taxes, Kelly estimates.
Unless Amendment 4 spurs a real estate boom big enough to compensate for those losses, local leaders would have two options:
Cut services or raise tax rates on all residents.

Gear Review
Johanna Brigadier
good addition of space
we got this gear shed to go with the hubba hubba tent. the goal was for us to sleep in the tent and provide extra shelter for the dog for the trips where he goes too. it seemed to work pretty well. it's made of the same material as the tent so has the same water shedding properties. it is partially floored--the triangle of space at the end, but the rest is open to the dirt. this is probably a good idea as water would possibly collect otherwise. the only reason i gave it 4 stars in stead of 5 is because the roof of the shed doesn't come with any sort of pole for stabilization. i know this saves weight, but you have to put some serious tension on the end guy line to pull it taught enough to not sag really bad. this of course causes the main tent body to be pulled towards the shed and then everything is sideways and makes the zipper of the fly opposite the shed pretty tight and difficult to open and close. it worked okay though and gave us the extra space we were going for. if you check out the tent, you can see a pic i posted of the shed attached.

A lot of people know me by just my first name – family, friends, and colleagues at many levels. I'm often the only Cathann they know. The name's a bit unusual. I was the first girl born in my father's family after nearly two generations of boys. My parents put it together to honor Catherine and Annie, two family matriarchs whom, let's face it, no one wanted to tick off.
I've had times when it was inconvenient or difficult to have such a name, such as the many times I've had to help people pronounce or spell it: No, it's not Caitlin, Cathleen, Chatham, or Calhoun. Over time, I've discovered that there are two main ways to pronounce it (CATH-ann or ca-THANN). When I was younger, I resented that I could never find a personalized pen, necklace, or bike tag with my name emblazoned on it. It also could be cumbersome. I recall quite vividly that it took me a long time to get even one "Cathann Arceneaux" written during penmanship class in elementary school, while "Joe Fry" sitting next to me whipped through about ten repetitions of his name. And yes, it has often been shortened to "Cathy" or "Annie" or "Cat" or "Hanna."
However, mostly I've loved my name, because of what it represents and because our names say a lot about who we are.
I've noticed the same thing with Extension and Outreach. Some people aren't sure what to call us, given our 100 county offices, our program areas, and our many campus units and departments. It can be cumbersome to manage all the parts of our names. We have a multitude of nicknames. However, one person who is sure is Jeff Johnson, president and CEO of the Iowa State University Alumni Association. According to Jeff, whatever your place in this organization, "Iowa State University is your first name."
"Cardinal and gold aren't everybody's colors, but they're our colors. If it wasn't for Iowa State University, Extension and Outreach wouldn't exist – not the other way around," Jeff said. He isn't asking us to become Iowa State cheerleaders. Rather, we're partners, working together in the business of higher education.
We are Iowa State University Extension and Outreach whether we identify with a campus unit, a college department, or a county office or a specific program anywhere in the state. We are a capacity-building unit of Iowa State, providing access to education, developing diverse and meaningful partnerships, and creating significant impact throughout our state. We even have the personalized pens. It's a first name we all can be proud of because of what it represents. See you there.
— Cathann

Divide, however, is entirely more situational. Whereas, Expanse could easily be unfurled along any flat surface, the main component of Divide is the Crosby Street space itself. The column is the axis of the painting. Even the painted white canvas surface of Divide relates, discursively, to the brushy, white-yellow surface of the gallery's decor-painted walls.
Once, a while ago, I saw a group show on lower Broadway where an artist took a large multi-paneled series of paintings and goofily hung them along the wall without picture wire or nails by wedging the paintings in between the columns. The paintings hung above the ground, and away from the wall, suspended Samson-like by the same columns that were supporting the gallery's walls. This looked terrible, improvised but thoughtless.
Rouillard's piece, however, way over on the other side of the spectrum, was discrete and integrated, which is by no means an easy feat. All interplay between the viewer, Divide, and the space was carefully negotiated by Rouillard. The composition of the painting was visibly pragmatic, and I think it successfully reflects a kind of track and sheetrock mentality that has governed much composition and sense of space in abstract painting in recent years. Appropriate solutions to many difficult situations are driven by this kind of can-do sensibility.
Divide itself is constructed upon aluminum crossbars, which reflects this kind of material oriented decision-making that begins from the ground up. I imagine Divide would look much softer, and less right, had it been stretched upon conventional wooden strainers. Although the enormity of Divide is overwhelming--the painting cannot even be photographed in a single shot in the gallery, it doesn't have any of the personal affront that's generally associated with monolithic slabs of this kind. It remains human scaled, by height and horizontal elongation, carefully delimiting the realm of possible painted experience in order to divide and not conquer.

I have a cold or the flu. I'm running a fever and have nasal congestion in addition to severe COPD. I got it from chilling myself outside a bureaucrat's office. On the other had, it could just be what I get for turning 67 on Friday the 13th. Obviously, this is today's only article. Some of the material is slightly outdated, but, as bad as I feel, it's the best I can do.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today's took me 3:22 (average 4:52). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From The New Yorker: Stating that "their continuing hostilities are a threat to world peace," Iran has offered to mediate talks between congressional Republicans and President Obama.
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, made the offer one day after Iran received what he called a "worrisome letter" from Republican leaders, which suggested to him that "the relationship between Republicans and Obama has deteriorated dangerously."
"Tensions between these two historic enemies have been high in recent years, but we believe they are now at a boiling point," Khamenei said. "As a result, Iran feels it must offer itself as a peacemaker."
He said that his nation was the "logical choice" to jumpstart negotiations between Obama and the Republicans because "it has become clear that both sides currently talk more to Iran than to each other."
He invited Obama and the Republicans to meet in Tehran to hash out their differences and called on world powers to force the two bitter foes to the bargaining table, adding, "It is time to stop the madness."
I'm afraid it won't work Andy. Some terrorists are just too far gone for Iran to be able to help.
From Media Matters: Sean Hannity lectured criminal defense and civil rights attorney Tamara Holder about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's impact on women's issues, telling Holder, "let me educate you."…
…Hannity's lecturing became so egregious, his female producer challenged him, asking if he was treating Holder this way because she is a woman:
If women follow the advice Hannity is giving, they will have nothing to do with him.
From Daily Kos: Six years too late, media call congressional Republicans 'traitors'
Now Republicans are claiming they were just being "cheeky". That's the truth, if the cheeks in question are the ones, between which their heads are inserted.

Spin cycle: astronomers detect distant planet that whirls madly
Published on May 1, 2014 1:59 AM
WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - Are you the type of person who gets dizzy just watching a merry-go-round go round and round? If so, don't plan a visit to the planet known as Beta Pictoris b. The thing spins like mad.
Scientists said on Wednesday that for the first time, they have measured the spin of a planet outside our solar system - a large gas planet located a relatively close 63 light years from Earth.
They determined that the planet spins faster than any in our solar system, with a rotational velocity at its equator of almost 100,000 kph.
Jupiter, a large gas planet that has the quickest spin in our solar system, whirls at about 47,000 kph while Earth spins at about 1,700 kph. A day on Beta Pictoris b lasts only eight hours, compared to 10 hours for Jupiter and 24 hours for Earth.

Re: ACF Strava Club
Biggest ride- 537.5km in a total time of wait for it, 25 hours 47!! Again, wow.

Re: ACF Strava Club
Your GPS gave you up to 20 kmh upgrade on speed over the cateye! . Get a Garmin! mine is usually ~2kmh of the cateye even over a short segment. But I'll take your Strava-Special-GPS
That just ridiculous! Only 365km yesterday and paltry 5000m elevation. Even if I could achieve that in a day, I couldn't even go near a bike for a week afterwards.
Re: ACF Strava Club
Bryton 35... silly machine. From what I can tell, Strava is simply taking a time over the segment anyway. Notice that for ties on time, the average speeds are identical, even though it is quite possible for the average speed to be slightly different over the same 60 seconds? I reckon I would must have registered a high 12 second run... look at the speeds actually recorded. No WAY they will be 70kmh peaking... if they are, I'm calling up the AIS for some help getting to the Olympics
Re: ACF Strava Club
Look at the " Alt leader board " for any segment on veloviewer is broken and you will realize how inaccurate strava is on short segments... long segments aren't that much better to tell the truth but the time gaps are usually a bit bigger between riders.
Re: ACF Strava Club
i agree it's inaccurate over short distances. i hold some of the fastest times ever on the HCC crit circuit. there's no way i'm that fast - i've just ridden it a lot. eventually, the GPS/strava error will go in my favour.
i also have VAMs on climbs of 6000+. making joaquim rodriguez look like a pudgy cyclotourist
Re: ACF Strava Club
The hardest thing about strava is when someone gives you kudo's and you know they are from BNA but their strava name doesn't match their BNA name .
Re: ACF Strava Club
Has anyone else noticed the 'impressive' top 2 for the May Massive? 45,458km in 6 days is pretty solid . Even the number 2 is a long way ahead of the rest on over 14,500k. It does demonstrate to a rather embarrassing degree just how inaccurate things can be.
EDIT: forgot to ask, the other day I deleted my display pic to upload a new one, and now can't get that photo or the old one to upload. Any tips?

Re: ACF Strava Club
I'm sick of the challenges. They are fantastic for HTFU junkies like Sandy and Tim Watt, who can conceivably put in the kilometres, but I had the biggest month of my life at 1187kms and I still didn't hit the April Challenge. I feel somewhat concerned for the leaderboard people - seems like they are mentally handicapped at some level, to put in those hours on the bike... maybe they are bionically connected to the seatpost, my sit bones can barely cope with the current workload
Re: ACF Strava Club
You will find those results are a result of a STRAVA glitch.
Re: ACF Strava Club
Currently 5th in the ACF group for the current Strava training challenge.
Re: ACF Strava Club
April was my biggest month ever, but as I was training for an event coming up in May it ended up quite easy. I didn't go out of my way at all to hit the Strava target, just did my training; 120+ on Saturdays, 80+ on Tuesdays, maybe a bit on Thursday and commuting as well. Also did a 170+ day for 3 Dams, it all adds up!

The top two were from Brisbane, there were 5 each from Brisbane and Perth. Must have been good weather!
Re: ACF Strava Club
For me (106%) it took a fairly active effort to complete the challenge. Because of the weather and some family commitments I was well behind at ten days to go. I had a big week of 580kms on the week of Anzac day (taking friday off for a ride), and that got me over the line. I was pretty knackered at the end of it, and my butt certainly needed a rest!!
Re: ACF Strava Club
well done to all who completed the challenge. About 1150kms of mine was commuting, and was lucky to get time allowed for a few weekend rides. The "massive may" is a bit of a joke at 1000kms. That's pretty easy for people like dimma (2 weeks?). I should get there. but having just fallen off the bike, I may be a bit slow the next fortnight.
Re: ACF Strava Club
4 of the top 10 were from Brisbane
Re: ACF Strava Club
I had 9 out of 41 rides that weren't dry. rule 5/rule 9.
Re: ACF Strava Club
I had 23 rides last month, which is heaps for me leaving only 7 days off the bike.
None were commuting, however 8 were River loops which are only 65 kms bringing my numbers down.
Re: ACF Strava Club
Woohoo! 14th and I got sick in the last week of April still not over this cold yet so May's challenge is going to be a little harder to achieve.
My YouTube channel http://goo.gl/UlJrkN
Re: ACF Strava Club
Good list - thanks. I got there comfortably in the end. Anzac Day made the difference. Plus smashing myself in the last week - my legs are still sore. But May looks like being a debacle with only two shortish rides so far, so I should at least be recovered soon.
Re: ACF Strava Club
I'll decide if I want to join the challenge later in the month... currently on track for a top 5 in my followed list, despite not riding since Saturday. Big rides make the difference!
Re: ACF Strava Club
Once again 4 Brisbaneites are in the top 10 for the May Massive
Re: ACF Strava Club
must be more unemployed or retired people in Brisbane then

Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Select Committee
The Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee is a committee of UK parliamentarians. Members are drawn from the House of Lords. The committee has several primary functions.
The Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee is appointed by the House of Lords in each session with orders of reference "to report whether the provisions of any bill inappropriately delegate legislative power, or whether they subject the exercise of legislative power to an inappropriate level of parliamentary scrutiny; to report on documents and draft orders laid before Parliament under the Regulatory Reform Act 2001; and to perform, in respect of such documents and orders and subordinate provisions orders laid under that Act, the functions performed in respect of other instruments by the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments."
Parliament often and increasingly confers powers on the executive to make delegated (or secondary) legislation. The purpose of such legislation is often practical - to enable ministers to make provision at a level of detail inappropriate for inclusion in the Act, or designed to meet changing circumstances. But the powers delegated can also be more substantial - enabling ministers to fill in large gaps left by so-called 'skeleton bills', or to amend and even repeal primary legislation ('Henry VIII powers'). Such enabling clauses in bills remove legislation from detailed parliamentary scrutiny.
As a result, this Select Committee was set up.
Working practices[edit]
The committee receives all bills introduced in either House when they reach the Lords. There is no equivalent committee in the House of Commons. Bills are accompanied by a special memorandum explaining each of the proposed delegations. The memorandum, published with the Committee's report, identifies each of the delegations; describes their purpose; explains why the matter has been left to delegated legislation; and explains the degree of parliamentary control provided for each, and why it is thought appropriate. The committee also has the benefit of an opinion of its legal adviser. The committee then examines whether the bill or its parts are appropriate in terms of delegations. In some cases, parts of bills are declared inappropriate. More frequently, recommendations are made to increase the level of parliamentary scrutiny over a particular delegation.
Since the passage of the Regulatory Reform Act 2001, the remit of the committee, and its name, have been extended. It is now the select committee on delegated powers and regulatory reform. In the case of Regulatory Reform Orders they do not examine the policy proposed, but whether the statutory tests of the 2001 Act have been met, particularly whether the orders actually reduce regulatory burdens. They also consider whether the proposal is appropriate to be delivered by secondary legislation and at times conclude that this is not the case. Parliament's work in this area is set to expand greatly, with the passage of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006.
As of 6 July 2012, the members are as follows:
- Baroness Thomas of Winchester (Chairman)
- Baroness Andrews
- Lord Blackwell
- Lord Butler of Brockwell
- Baroness Gardner of Parkes
- Lord Haskel
- Lord Marks of Henley-on-Thames
- Lord Mayhew of Twysden
- Baroness O'Loan
- Lord Soley

Mayor Nelda Martinez uses humor to drive home message, connect with audience at 'State of the City'
CORPUS CHRISTI - Wearing dark shades and bobbing their heads in unison, Mayor Nelda Martinez and City Council members seemed beside themselves about conducting business at City Hall.
City Manager Ron Olson wore his motorcycle jacket to the meeting. He was so excited at one point, he lipsynched the catchy tune "Home" by Phillip Phillips into a microphone, which prompted a choreographed sports wave from the council.
No, this wasn't an actual council meeting, but a rendition filmed for Martinez's "State of the City" address she gave Thursday in front of more than 1,000 people at the American Bank Center.
While several points of her speech had a serious, candid tone, the audience also got their fill of laughs with two videos aimed at showing a softer side of city business. The video "Corpus Christi is Our Home," featured short clips of local public officials, city leaders and residents sharing their stories about their connections with the city.
"I moved here for the fishing," said Toby Futrell, a retired Austin city manager who recently served as the city's interim assistant city manager.
Another film shown later in Martinez's speech helped explain why she dislikes it when people refer to her city as Corpus. During a filmed skit, Martinez answers a phone call from local actor Mr. Kippy, who plays a man trying to urgently reach the mayor of Corpus. She is not the mayor of Corpus, but the mayor of Corpus Christi, she explained.
T-shirts with the phrase "It's not Corpus without Christi" were at each table Thursday.

PEOPLE ASK WHEN I FIRST knew that I used to be the pirate Jean Lafitte. Winter of 1987, I tell them.
I was living in a one-room apartment in the pre-Civil War Hendley Building on the Strand, researching a book on Galveston. Walking along the harbor road one morning, I felt irresistibly drawn to the weed-cloaked ruins of La Maison Rouge, the fortress home where Lafitte lived from 1817 until 1821. At its peak, the pirate colony that he called Campeachy prospered beyond anyone's wildest dreams. Anchored in the harbor were Yankee clippers from Boston, New York, and Philadelphia that had come to take advantage of bargains on jewelry, spices, sugar, and the like. "Black ivory" liberated from Spanish slave ships sold wholesale for $1 a pound. Everyone made money: Ordinary deckhands pulled down $150 a month. Then it all ended.
Shivering under a cold mist, I considered the remains. I had been in that very spot several times before, not that there's much to look at: a historical plaque, part of a red stone wall, some crumbling arches, steps leading up to nowhere. On that day, however, a particular stone near the top of the crumbling wall arrested my eye. It was the color of dried blood and slightly wider than the surrounding stones. Mortar had been chipped away so that it could be removed. Wrapping my arms around my chest, I listened to a voice with a soft French accent: This would have been Lafitte's wine cellar. And a fine wine cellar it was!
Somehow I knew that behind that stone was a map with an X marking a spot on the west end of the Island, fourteen paces due north of a grove of trees—a spot much favored by the cannibalistic Karankawa. But of course! This is where I buried two sea chests of silver that I, er, privatized from a Spanish schooner in the winter of—what was it? Oh, yes, 1821. The Karankawa were perfect watchdogs for my treasure. The fiercest of the Texas coastal tribes, they took pleasure in roasting and eating slabs of flesh carved from the shoulders and thighs of still-living captives. They massacred an entire hunting party of my corsairs, those pesky Karankawa. For all I know, they ate that cross-eyed buccaneer from Portugal, the one whose body we never found. It's funny, the things you remember.
Over the centuries, I've drifted back to Galveston many times as though in a fitful dream, flashing on odd fragments, stumbling over atavistic hazards, puzzling beside unmarked graves. Occasionally I recall bits and pieces of other incarnations, most of them less dramatic than my days as the swashbuckling Lafitte. At various times I've been a custom's clerk, a baker, and once, a parrot owned by a quadroon princess with hazel eyes.
One hot morning last July, I again experienced that icy quiver. I had come to the Island to inspect the renovation of the long-dormant Balinese Room, which had recently been purchased by a Houston attorney named Scott Arnold. In the forties and early fifties, the Balinese was the swankiest, wickedest nightclub and casino on the Gulf Coast, the pride of the Sicilian-born crime bosses Rose (short for Rosario) and Sam Maceo. For three decades the Maceo brothers controlled the rackets and everything else in the Free State of Galveston. It all ended in 1957 when a posse of Texas Rangers stormed across the causeway with axes and injunctions.
I found a parking place directly in front of the Balinese, between an electrician's truck and an SUV plastered with Bush-Cheney stickers. Opening a freshly painted front door, I walked into history. A whiskey bar doubled as a gift shop and museum, its walls papered with old photographs of stars that had played the Balinese: Sinatra, Frankie Laine, the Marx Brothers, Jayne Mansfield, Bob Hope, on and on. There were a couple of crap tables of recent vintage and two chalkboard ledgers that had survived from the Maceo era. One ledger posted daily odds on baseball games. I could still make out the faded names of old Texas League teams.
I recognized Arnold at once. Shaggy reddish hair, mustache, shifty eyes—he could pass for a gangster or a pirate. In fact, he's a lawyer and a real estate speculator, so I wasn't that far off. He had already spent more than half a million dollars fixing up the B-Room, he told me, and was looking for tenants to turn the old casino into a top-flight restaurant and nightclub (there are no takers as of yet). Arnold led me down a long hallway that will soon be lined with a hair salon, an Internet cafe, and a shop selling New Age trinkets (the Balinese is not a "room" in the literal sense but a series of rooms strung along a six-hundred-foot pier). We crossed a grand ballroom and nightclub that Arnold will rent out for special events. It looked much as it did in the forties: artificial palm trees, cheesy South Seas murals, the piano on which Duke Ellington played "Sophisticated Lady." Ghosts whispered from the pilings. I'd never been in the Balinese before, at least not that I remembered, but I got the creepy feeling that I'd known the Maceos.
In one corner of the pier's T-head, we came to an empty space that was the casino where Houston oilmen Diamond Jim West, Glenn McCarthy, and Jack Josey gambled for stakes approaching the national debt. Before Arnold restored the B-Room, the whole area was a wreck, but the damage was the work of a tropical storm, not the Rangers. The Rangers needed fifteen years to bust the joint. The Maceos were damned near bulletproof. Frank Biaggne, the clown who was sheriff of Galveston County from 1933 until 1957, swore that he had never raided the Balinese because it was a private club and he wasn't a member. On rare occasions when raiders made it through the front door, the Maceos usually had been tipped in advance. Everyone assumed they had a private hotline to

Nigel Adkins has again received the support of the Saints fans despite fresh reports suggesting the club are reviewing his position.
Roberto Di Matteo, who has been regularly linked with the manager's post following his departure from Chelsea earlier this season, is said to be one of two names being lined up for the job by St Mary's chairman Nicola Cortese, should Adkins be sacked.
The other is former Spurs manager Christian Gross, who is currently out of work after being sacked by Swiss side Young Boys in April last year.
Adkins came within a whisker of the sack in early November, following a 2-0 loss to West Brom that left Saints rooted to the bottom of the table.
But he has since overseen an impressive upturn in form, leading the club out of the relegation zone ahead of tomorrow's crunch visit to fellow strugglers Aston Villa.
Throughout the season, he has retained the backing of the overwhelming majority of Saints supporters, with chants of "There's only one Nigel Adkins" regularly belted out home and away.
Nick Illingsworth, who runs fans' website theuglyinside.net, reaffirmed that support in light of the latest rumours.
He said: "I haven't found many Saints fans who would want to see Nigel sacked.
"All the supporters are grateful for the work he has done over the last few years and, given that, he deserves his chance.
"Having dragged us out of the bottom three after a baptism of fire at the start of the season, he's shown he has got the nous to steer us clear of relegation if we can make some crucial signings."
