badmotorfinger was a fine album. my favorite though, was down on the upside. matt cameron has always been a great source of inspiration to me.

These scripts need to be started really once, so things such as /etc/profile.local aren't candidates. I try to start Sonar, which searches for Java in some strange way (instead just by look up JAVA_HOME), and it fails to find Java (logs don't tell me exactly why). From command line, after boot, it can be started (as root and as user). I suppose, there are some environment variables which get i (HowTos)

The Labour leader urged both sides to draw back and agree a proper ceasefire"that went beyond 24 hours.
"I'm a friend of Israel and the Palestinian people," declared Mr Miliband, "but this is doing no favours to Israel, what is happening.
"The Hamas rocket attacks are totally unjustified and appalling. The murder of the three Israeli teenagers was terrible. But this is, I'm afraid, a tragic loss of life, which I fear is just going to recruit more people to Hamas."
Meanwhile, Lord Prescott was deeply critical of Israel, saying that any other country would be made an international "pariah" if it acted in the same way.
The former Deputy Prime Minister also compared the situation in Gaza with events during the Holocaust, suggesting its history should "give Israelis a unique sense of perspective and empathy with the victims of a ghetto".
He said: "Imagine a country claiming the lives of nearly three times as many as were lost in the MH17 plane tragedy in less than three weeks. A nation which blasted a hospital, shelled and killed children from a gunboat as they played football on the beach and was responsible for 1000 deaths, at least 165 of them children, in just two weeks.
"Surely, it would be branded a pariah state, condemned by the UN, the US and the UK. The calls for regime change would be deafening."

Look cute but are really only meant to look pretty
"I love these shoes. They are the perfect height, look cute and go with everything. However, when you walk in them the back of the heel flips up and hits your foot with each step (similar to a flip flop). I think this is due to the elastic band on your ankle. Maybe it needs to be tighter or thicker? I am not sure. I plan on keeping these but they will just be for wearing around the office and not walking far distances as the flapping on my foot is really annoying."

Great shoes
"I bought these shoes for my rehearsal dinner the day before. I wore them for about 6 hrs and, while my feet were sore at the end of the night, it was an understandable soreness from standing and LOTS of dancing for a long time. Plus, I got a lot of compliments on them. They were great shoes and I've continued to wear them at work after the wedding. They've held up really well and are still comfortable to wear all day. These are definitely becoming a staple in my summer wardrobe."

A number of schemes could be used to aid in setting resource priorities for HAPs on the basis of the relative risks posed to human health and welfare by these pollutants. One example would be a system with three tiers, applied on a national basis or, if a more effective allocation of resources is allowed, on a multistate airshed basis.
Beyond these tiers, the committee recommends that a list of potential air toxicants be established and that these toxicants be subject to some minimal level of regulatory review and consideration (see Box 7-4).
Possible regulatory approaches include the development of exposure triggers (for example, emission concentrations, volume of use, or high exposures to some urban populations) for suspicious chemicals with sparse test data; some degree of testing and control would be required when the trigger measure was exceeded. Testing might include a minimal battery of tests, such as an expanded version of the current high-production-volume testing program instituted by EPA and the chemical industry. Inclusion on such a list of potential air toxicants might encourage the development of substitutes for those that exhibit initial indications of toxicity. However, a dynamic review of all pollutants, including those not on the current list,

It was morning, and Chloe was watching me iron my shirt and pants for the day.
As we were getting ready for church one morning, Chloe dropped a bombshell. She said she didn't want to go to church.
Chloe and Cole keep raiding the coin jar - my coin jar.
A few months ago I bought an exercise bike. Why, you might ask? Simple. We needed somewhere else to hang our clothes.
Chloe is at a stage right now where she won't listen to anything I tell her to do.
We have a pretty steep hill in our backyard.
The other day Cole and I were sitting around hanging out together. Out of the blue, he looked at me and said, "I want to be an adult."
A few years ago, Cole started playing T-ball. Practices were Saturdays and Tuesdays.
I came home late, because Amy had given me a night to myself.
Chloe's really big into equality lately. She not into voting rights or even human rights, but her rights. Her rights to have the exact same thing of everything Cole has or receives.
Chloe went to the dentist to have her teeth cleaned. No big deal. We've done it several times before and she's always gotten good check-ups.
Chloe usually calls me "Daddy." Lately, however, for some reason she's been calling me "My Daddy."
I was doing some shopping at a local department store recently, when I heard the sound of a small child crying nearby.
A couple of months ago, I went to a local home improvement store and bought a big bag of topsoil.
Chloe and Cole have not yet learned that sound travels. Nor have they learned that whispering isn't whispering when you do it louder than a freight train.

Sometimes I honestly have to wonder what goes through my son's head.
I love putting puzzles together. As a child, I'd usually receive a puzzle every Christmas. Even as an adult, my mom still makes sure I get one each year.

If you don't pass the CLONE_VM flag to clone(), then the new process shares memory with the original. Can this be used to make two distinct applications (two main()'s) run in the same process? Ideally this would be as simple as calling clone() with CLONE_VM and then calling exec(), but I realize it's probably more involved. At the very least, I assume that the spawned application would need to be compiled to be relocatable (-fPIC). I realize I could always recode applications to be libraries, and create a master app spawning the other 'apps' as threads, but I'm curious of this approach is possible.
Is it possible using Linux's clone() system call to run multiple applications in the same address space?
Well, yes, that's what threads are, minus the "two distinct main()/application" part.
In fact, the reason
Clone(2) more-or-less requires you to declare a separate stack (if you don't it makes one), because without it the child won't be able to return from its current call level without destroying the parent's stack.
Once you start setting up stacks for each process then you might as well just use the posix thread library.
As for the part where two different applications are loaded, calling
Why not compile the applications into the same executable and just start them as threads in main?
What is the problem running them as separate tasks anyway? You can still share memory if you really want to.
Short answer: it's impossible.
Well, it's possible if you're willing to write your own custom ELF loader and simulate a lot of things that the kernel normally does for a process.
It's better to compile each of the apps into a library that exposes exactly one function, main (renamed to something else). Then the main stub program should link with the two libraries and call each one's exported function.

Great BCD very easy to clean and maintain. Great for starters as well as advanced divers alike. Easy packing for travel over all great BCD!
Best Uses
Comments about OMS Featherweight Travel BCD:
Just got back from a week of warm water diving with the BCD. Overall I liked it but was very unimpressed with the weight pockets. I was only diving with 10 pounds, a 3 and 2 pound in each pocket. Between myself and another diver who also has the same bcd we lost our weights 3 times on a total of 11 dives. Single lead plates or single soft weight would likely work well but if you are using the typical resort dive weight that is a mixed of a few weights there is the possibility of having an issue. Not good if you are deep.

Comments about OMS Featherweight Travel BCD:
Use it here in Switzerland also for cold water diving. Best for travel because of it's lightness. It's a really easy to use jacket that has everything you need!

Police say that a Minneapolis man suspected of recruiting teenage girls to prostitute the teens out of his South Minneapolis home helped authorities nab several so-called "johns" in a police sting operation. Hennepin County officials claim that the 55-year-old Minneapolis resident used his home to sell sex with teenage girls. He is charged with three counts of felony prostitution.
Police say that they learned of the alleged prostitution operation in September. While authorities claim that the 55-year-old had prostituted several girls, primarily from his home, police say that a 16 and a 17-year-old girl had left a treatment facility. The teens reportedly were tied to the alleged south Minneapolis prostitution case.
Officers say that law enforcement used the man accused of selling sex to set up a trap for people willing to pay for sex with the teenagers. Police claim that men from the suburbs were lured into the sting operation and were arrested as they prepared to pay for sex at the South Minneapolis location.
Police say that the 55-year-old agreed to participate in the sting after authorities began to suspect him of running the operation. At least one of the men arrested in the sting faces felony prostitution charges in Hennepin County. Authorities accuse a 46-year-old Shakopee, Minnesota man of recruiting a 50-year-old from Eagan to pay for sex with the teenage girls during the prostitution investigation.
Officials have also charged a 45-year-old Eagan, Minnesota man with two counts of felony prostitution for allegedly agreeing to pay $100 for sex with a girl he believed to be 15 or 16 years-old.
Minnesota's criminal statutes controlling prostitution have many facets. A person who promotes prostitution, as well as an alleged "patron," or "John" can face serious felony charges under Minnesota law. The consequences of any level of sex crime can be harsh in Minnesota. When allegations rise to the level of a felony, the stakes get even higher.
It is important for anyone suspected or accused of a prostitution-related offense to consider speaking with legal counsel to learn how to deal with police-- or to learn what defenses may be available in an individual case.

John Henry Skillern was arrested last Thursday for the possession of child pornography. The 41-year-old restaurant worker was allegedly sending indecent images of children to a friend, but while it was Houston police that obtained a search warrant for Skillern's tablet and computer and placed him in custody, it was Google that tipped them off to his illegal activities. Skillern was using Gmail to send images of child sexual abuse, each of which had been given a unique digital fingerprint. When those images were sent via Google's email service, they were identified by the company's automated systems, allowing it to pass Skillern's details on to the police via the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
David Drummond, Google's chief lawyer, outlined his company's automated tagging system last year in The Daily Telegraph. Drummond explained that Google has used the technology since 2008, building up a database that notifies the company when known child porn images are found through its search engine or in the inboxes of its 400 million Gmail users. When Google does identify such images are being shared, as they allegedly were by Skillern, it informs law enforcement officials.
Other companies have access to similar photo tagging technology, including Microsoft, whose PhotoDNA software can also detect flagged images of abuse. PhotoDNA can calculate a mathematical hash for an image of child sexual abuse that allows it to recognize photos automatically even if they have been altered. The tech is now used by both Twitter and Facebook, after Microsoft donated it to the NCMEC in 2009. Videos, too, have become the focus of such digital fingerprinting programs. Google has its own Video ID software for detecting footage of child sexual abuse, and British company Friend MTS donated its Expose F1 detection program to the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) earlier this year.

He's better than CATS! Well, at least better than living amidst a horde of cats...
ABOUT ME: I lead the quiet life of a father with part-time custody. I'd love to get out more. I'm done with the party every weekend life. I know what I like. I've learned how to compromise. I can take care of business. I have a stable, secure job in Information Technology, and yes, I am a bit of a geek. I do like Sci-Fi for instance, but it doesn't dominate my life and I don't have an orc costume in my closet. I am a father and I do my damnedest to be a great one under the circumstances. I have my son roughly once a month and for several weeks in the summer. He lives 5 hours away. If we get together, you will, eventually, meet and spend time with him. He's a nice guy - a little immature (I suppose he's 7 and I should give him a break). I love my son. But I'm not looking for a mother for him. If this thought scares you (in concept), please consider other matches, and no hard feelings. Despite goofy humor, I, at least, understand social context and promise not to discuss my exes with your Mom, my money with your Dad, or our sex with your siblings. At least, not at first. After recovering from an accident, I'm back to working out twice a week and you can consider everything on me getting higher, tighter, and firmer as you read this. I am still working through a very mild limp (which I hope is gone in a year). I have not traveled extensively, but I am ready to go! I am a sports fan, I enjoy watching/following football (Skins), hockey (Caps), basketball (Wiz Terps). But I generally have perspective on this hobby, so you won't catch me complaining about missing a game to head to your mother's house for dinner. I may complain about visiting your mother's house, but it won't be about missing a game to do so. While appearances aren't everything, I would prefer you be basically well groomed when we go out. I will be. I think most of us think we have a good sense of humor. Just remember mine might be better than the last and next profiles you read (and it'll be around after they go bald). It may appear unlikely today, but I'm convinced my childhood dream of being an All-Pro linebacker/secret-agent/tech-mogul/ninja is just around the corner for me. I attempt to be a positive person. Occasionally countering my positivity are infrequent periods of unbridled sarcasm. I can listen. I do sincerely hope you find a wonderful husband/mate/companion/lover in your life. Kudos to you and good luck at it! ABOUT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR: You can bust some chops and take some chop-busting yourself. You are not mysteriously emotional. You are awesome enough to talk about it. You care enough to take care of yourself. You're confident enough to let someone else take care of you. You like to laugh. You're not annoyed at attempts that may fall flat on occasion. You are patient (not 'a patient'). You are shorter than 8'11''. You wouldn't mind the occasional romantic gesture, including original poetry dedicated to you. But you don't expect it. You like thought-provoking movies. And mindless action movies. Or you can occasionally fake it. I know it's true, you girls fake it on occasion (but, you know, never with me). You're past the bulk of your clubbing/bar-hopping days. But you're game for a great night of dinner and drinks.

Not much left to say about this one. The Chicago Fire training in South Carolina, watched closely by a local alligator. Kudos to the club's fearless digital media leader Jeff Crandall for turning on his camera.
Kudos to Washington Post writer Steven Goff for digging into some tax records for the US Soccer Federation between April 2011 and March 2012, and discovering a few interesting financial nuggets.
Among them:
- US men's national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann (above, left) collected $1,047,172 — a portion of his $2.5 million salary. He was hired late in the summer of 2011. Klinsmann's contract runs through Aug. 31, 2014.
- Former head coach Bob Bradley, meanwhile, received $872,658, despite being fired four months into the tax period.
- US women's coach Pia Sundhage earned $299,190 while on the job during the entire tax period, which included a runner-up finish in the 2011 World Cup.
Check out Goff's article here, or dive into the tax records yourself here.
Here's the least surprising news of the day: Columbus has reportedly been picked as the site for the all-important World Cup qualifying matchup between the US and Mexico on Sept. 10.
That report comes from ESPN's John Sutcliffe, who tweeted out the news on Saturday. Crew Stadium has always been the frontrunner to host the match, thanks in no small part to its history of crucial matches for the Americans, and a 6-0-3 record there all-time. The last time the US suited up there came last September, when they beat Jamaica in qualifying.
The stadium has hosted the US team's home qualifier against Mexico in the final round for the last three consecutive World Cup qualifying cycles, with the United States collecting identical 2-0 scorelines in 2001, 2005 and 2009.
I am told that the Mexico @ USA World Cup qualifier on September 10th...will be played as usual in Columbus Ohio. #ElTRIONESPN

The seemingly endless coaching search for the next head coach of the New York Red Bulls has apparently taken another interesting turn.
Big Apple Soccer attributes a league source in a report released on Wednesday that says, among other things, that current Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert (above) is one of three remaining candidates for the head coaching job in New York.
The Red Bulls are the only team in MLS without a head coach when the MLS preseason got underway this week, and were reportedly recently turned down by former Portuguese international Paulo Sousa.
The coaching vacancy has also been linked in recent weeks to Fox Soccer analyst Eric Wynalda and former MLS coaches Jesse Marsch and Robin Fraser, as well as former Aston Villa assistant Gary McAllister. Big Apple Soccer reported earlier this month that the Red Bulls had hired McAllister had been hired for the position, but the report was promptly shot down by a source familiar with the negotiations.
The worst-kept secret in the days leading up to the MLS SuperDraft next Thursday is what Chivas USA want to do with that second overall pick.
And if there was any ambiguity as to what new head coach "El Chelis" Sola will do with his first-ever shot at the draft, he pretty much put that to rest on his Twitter account on Friday from the first day of the MLS Combine in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
It looks like he's doing a couple of things with this one. He's clearly tipping his hand about his intentions to snag North Carolina midfielder Mikey Lopez or Connecticut's Carlos Alvarez, two talented prospects and the best Mexican-American players in the draft. Alvarez, in fact, fits the bill nicely with an East LA background and a father who once played for Chivas Guadalajara.
But is he also hinting that one day these guys might play for the Goats' Mexican brother down in Guadalajara? It certainly sounds like it (we'll assume Maeve is a misspell or translation snafu for "maybe'), which means Chelis might have visions of turning his players into Mexican leaue prospects for the future. It's about to get real, real interesting at Chivas USA.
@cdchivasusa all the young is very good, but chivas need Mexico-American young players, because in a future Maeve play in Mexico.
— José Luis Sanchez (@Elchelis) January 12, 2013
Victor Pálsson's brief time with the New York Red Bulls appears to be done, and he reportedly has a new deal with Dutch side Nijmegen Eendracht Combinatie.
The 21-year-old Icelandic winger was brought to New York in February by then head coach Hans Backe, but Pálsson struggled to establish himself as a reliable starter. He started four games and made 16 appearances overall, but failed to log a goal or an assist for the club before he was loaned to NEC with an option to sign in August. He has scored two goals in 12 games while on loan.
He has also played for Scottish side Hibernian during his career, and in 2011 was reportedly banned from all nightclubs in Edinburgh for urinating on a wall inside a club following a match.
The Red Bulls did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MLSsoccer.com.
If it's the end of the year, it's time for some obligatory video compilations. Cue the tape.
The latest one comes from the folks at US Soccer, who have put together the best moments from a historic year for the US men's national team, including every goal from the 2012 campaign. Check it out.
The San Jose Earthquakes topped the final regular season installment of the MLS Power Rankings on Tuesday, and it was a fitting end to an impressive season for the Quakes. Although they were one the season's biggest surprises (MLSsoccer.com had them ranked No. 9 at First Kick), the Quakes ascended to the top spot in Week 16 and never really let up.
In fact, the Quakes held the top spot in the Power Rankings for 17 weeks this season (tops among all teams), and led the way for 14 consecutive weeks after reaching the top midway through the season. They relinquished their spot just once - to Sporting Kansas City in Week 30 – but claimed it again the next week and carried the torch each of the final three weeks of the season.
Some other notes on Power Rankings this season:
- The biggest surprise of the year was easily D.C. United, who came in at No. 16 at the First Kick poll in early March and finished the regular season at No. 3. They also proved to be one of the most volatile teams on the poll this year, rising to No. 2 in Week 15 before plummeting back to No. 12 as late as Week 28 before they surged down the stretch to finish in the top 3.
- The biggest disappointment was easily the Portland Timbers, who carried the No. 8 ranking into First Kick and effectively slipped into a free fall from there. They bottomed out at No. 19 in Week 19 and ended up holding that spot for a total of seven weeks this season.
- Toronto FC led the league with most weeks spent at the No. 19 spot – 14.
- Six teams held the bottom spot at least once this season – Toronto, Portland, Chivas USA, Philadelphia, FC Dallas and Montreal. The Impact held that spot at First Kick but never graced it again after Week 4.
- Five teams held the No. 1 ranking at some point this season – San Jose, Sporting Kansas City, Real Salt Lake, Seattle and the LA Galaxy. The Galaxy held it at First Kick and never got it back, slipping all the way down to No. 17 in Weeks 11 and 12. The swing of 16 spots is the largest of any team in the rankings this season.
- The most stable team this season was Sporting Kansas City, who never fell lower than No. 7 and spent a total of seven weeks at No. 1. The Seattle Sounders and Real Salt Lake both bottomed at No. 8 and reached No. 1 at various points in the season.
- The Houston Dynamo also never fell outside of the top 10 at any point this season, falling as low as No. 9 and rising as high as No. 2 in Week 22.
- The biggest one-week jump of any team this season belonged to San Jose, who leaped from No. 9 to No. 3 in Week 4 after a 1-0 win in Seattle. The Quakes never fell lower than No. 4 the rest of the way.
- The biggest one-week drop also came in Week 4. FC Dallas plummeted from No. 6 to No. 15 after a 4-1 loss at D.C. United.
- The Vancouver Whitecaps are the only playoff team not ranked in the top 10 at the end of the season. They fell to No. 12 in Week 25 and have languished outside the top 10 ever since.
- Chivas USA was only team to go out the way they came in. They were ranked No. 18 at First Kick and finished No. 18 in the final rankings on Tuesday, having never climbed any higher than No. 12.
Note: There were no rankings for Weeks 13-14 due to international dates.
Julian de Guzman appears to be on his way out of Toronto after four years spent as one of the biggest names on the Reds' roster.
Sportsnet in Canada is reporting that de Guzman has been traded to FC Dallas, although it's unclear exactly what head coach Paul Mariner's club will get in return for one of their three Designated Players.
De Guzman has appeared in 65 games for Toronto since signing as the first Designated Player in club history in 2009. Read the report here.
Fans longing for the bridge between North, Central and South American soccer, take notice. Change might just be on the horizon.
According to a statement released from CONCACAF, president Jeffrey Webb met with executive committee members of CONMEBOL on Wednesday in São Paulo, Brazil, to explore the potential for collaborative opportunities between the confederations.
Among the items discussed was the staging of a special Copa América in 2016 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of CONMEBOL that would involve CONCACAF's partnership and participation, referee development, technical programs and other synergies.
Webb is a special guest of CONMEBOL president Nicolás Leoz and will attend the second leg of the Copa Libertadores Wednesday evening between Corinthians and Boca Juniors.
"The discussions today were held in a spirit of genuine cooperation," said Webb, making his first trip to South America since his election as CONCACAF president on May 23. "I look forward to further talks and building a stronger relationship between our confederations."
Webb is accompanied on the trip by CONCACAF vice president Justino Compeán, who is also president of the Mexican Football Federation.

ARLINGTON — Right-hander Brandon Webb's season effectively ended Wednesday without him throwing a pitch for the Rangers.
An MRI on Webb's right shoulder revealed new damage to his rotator cuff, on which he had a surgical procedure in 2009. Webb is considering either a second surgery or the possibility of a more conservative approach. The Rangers do not expect him to pitch this year.
The Rangers gave Webb a $3 million contract this off-season, betting that he'd return to the form that made him one of the National League's most dominant starters from 2006 to 2008. He hurt the shoulder on opening day in 2009 and hasn't pitched in the majors since.
Webb was about to make his first Triple-A start for Round Rock last week when the shoulder flared up again. He was scratched from that start and underwent the MRI on Tuesday.
"It's disappointing, but we knew this would be something of a risk/reward proposition," general manager Jon Daniels said. "I don't think anybody is more disappointed than Brandon. I think he's going to take some time to digest this."

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Ryan Anderson capped a 20-point performance with a layup as he was fouled with 1.8 seconds left, and the New Orleans Hornets snapped a three-game skid with a 98-96 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night. Anderson also hit a 3 with 15.6 seconds left that gave the Hornets a 95-93 lead, but Portland rookie Damian Lillard reached the 20-point mark for a sixth straight game by draining a 3 with 11.2 seconds left. Greivis Vasquez, who also had 20 points, then dribbled out of traffic along the perimeter and found Anderson inside for the winning bucket. Anthony Davis had 18 points and 10 rebounds for New Orleans, making a critical play in the final half-minute with an offensive rebound. He saved the ball from going over the baseline and whipped a pass to guard Brian Roberts on the perimeter, leading to Anderson's late 3. Wesley Matthews scored 24 points and LaMarcus Aldridge 16 for Portland, which fell three games behind the Los Angeles Lakers for th...

Together, the two sisters made Jesus feel perfectly comfortable under their roof. The blend was simple: Mary entertained His divinity while Martha entertained His humanity.
It is nearly impossible to tell a family about God's love when they are shivering in the cold without dry clothing or coats. The church is surrounded by hurting humanity, and every need is an opportunity for miraculous ministry.
We serve a Master who plainly said He did not come to cure the whole, feed the full or heal the healthy (Matt. 9:12-13). If we make it our aim to accept and recruit only the whole, the full and the healthy, then we may miss the one visitor we need more than any other—Jesus Christ.
On the other hand, if we dare to chase God while, in practical ways, serving others, including the unlovely and unwanted, we are certain to see this one visitor enter our presence. He will feel comfortable in our midst because He is unashamedly attracted to human need and spiritual hunger.

This page last updated 6/12/15
We're always on the search for the odd and unusual, especially stationery, since there just isn't a lot of it being made anymore that works well with fountain pens. From time to time we find fountain pen friendly stationery and when we find it, this is where it lands!
Hope you'll check back from time to time, you just never know what might turn up here.
Mozart Loose Leaf Music Paper - Great illustration of Mozart and the Birthplace of Mozart in Salzburg Germany on the pastel blue paper band. This new old stock paper measures 8 x 10.5 inches and is three hole bunched for a notebook. As the paper wrapping band says, this is Staff-Ruled for writing music. There are 10 staffs per side, the page is ruled on both sides. There was no feathering with Our Exclusive Legal Lapis, Noodler's Black or Pelikan Blue Black, the three inks I used to test on the paper. The ink does not bleed through to the reverse side, although there is a light shadow where you can see there was writing on the other side. The package contains 20 sheets of music paper.
Italian Journal. Supple leather cover. Soft ivory Italian ruled paper is fountain pen friendly and typical of Italian papers has good substance and a lovely extra smooth feel to it. Very wet writing nibs may show through on the reverse side of page. We experienced no feathering or bleed through with "average" nibs and inks. Soft grey ruling, 1/4 inch spacing. Measures 6 5/8 x 5 inches, brown leather cube & leaf motif, 110 sheets.
Italian Journal. Supple leather cover. Soft ivory Italian ruled paper is fountain pen friendly and typical of Italian papers has good substance and a lovely extra smooth feel to it. Very wet writing nibs may show through on the reverse side of page. We experienced no feathering or bleed through with "average" nibs and inks. Soft grey ruling, 1/4 inch spacing. Measures 5.25 x 3.75 inches, brown leather crocodile motif, 110 sheets.
Blue Sky Address Book - Organizers
Stay Organized! White stitched edge black leather address book organizer has insert space in the front cover for a 4x6 photo. These already had nice Route 66 postcards (un-used) inserted and that works for us. You can send the postcard to someone you love and insert something different in the front if you so desire! The inside front cover has a small pocket for stashing loose papers. A spiral bound insert in the center includes a clear sheet for business cards and a clear zipper pocket to stash little notes. Contacts section is indexed and there is lots of space to use write in your favorite people and their addresses - you're here on the Pendemonium website, that means you write letters, right? Additional ruled pages for notes and scribbles. Things to Do tablet inserted inside the inside back cover. There is even a loop to keep a favorite pen handy. Exterior dimensions: 4.75 x 6.5 inches. Sheet size is: 4 x 6 inches. New condition, never used, except that I snitched one sheet of the Things To Do pad to do a test write on. You can see the results in the photo! Yes, someone is going to come up one sheet short on their Things to Do Tablet, but I figured knowing about paper quality would trump that. Mint condition. Several available at the time of posting.

BOSTON, Mass. (PRBuzz.com) March 26, 2012 -- McKesson Corporation will stock My Girls Cream for radiation patients who are referred by their radiation oncology nurse or physician to their local CarePlus CVS/pharmacy or CVS/pharmacy. Due to an evidence-based study on topical agents conducted by the Oncology Nursing Society in 2011, many radiation oncology clinicians are aware of the protective benefits of calendula, a key ingredient in the plant-based, fragrance and dye-free My Girls Cream (formerly known as My Girl's Radiation Cream). My Girls Cream is now sampled at more than fifty hospitals and radiation treatment centers in the U.S. as a result of breast cancer patients using it with successful results. Radiation patients may request My Girls Cream at the pharmacy counter of CarePlus CVS/pharmacy in San Francisco, CA, San Antonio, TX, Nashville, TN, and Worcester, MA. Select CVS/pharmacies located near sampling hospitals may also order My Girls Cream from their local McKesson distribution center. More retailers may be found online via http://www.mygirlscream.com/index.php/buy.
"So far, just one patient has used My Girls Cream and she absolutely loved it. This cream worked wonders for her. Her skin literally healed up overnight. The redness, discomfort, and itchiness were relieved immediately. In her words, "the cream is so soothing" and she liked that it's non-greasy too. Presently we are providing Aquaphor for our patients, but I'm working with the staff and our manager to order My Girls Cream as an option for our patients." St. Francis Hospital, San Francisco.
One of the key ingredients in My Girls Cream is Calendula, extracted from the flower of the marigold plant, and is documented in the U.S. Homeopathic Pharmacopeia for its helpful benefits with burns, eczema, acne and skin irritations. As a result, many My Girls Cream customers use the cream after radiation treatment ends for their face and body because of its benefits on maintaining healthy skin and because it is fragrance and dye-free.
"I decided to order some again just to use in general because I liked it so well - it goes on very gently and it contains only healthful and healing ingredients." Wendee McCoy, Cottage Grove, MN, breast cancer survivor and My Girls fan.
Radiation oncology clinicians like My Girls Cream because it helps patients avoid treatment delays associated with radiation burns but also because of its non-greasy and non-staining creamy texture that spreads easily over irradiated skin. As a result, some radiation oncology clinicians also now recommend it for head and neck cancers, and one physician is compounding it as a prescription with hydrocortisone and lydocaine for skin that has already become compromised.
"I think My Girls Cream should be in front of every cancer patient and every medical professional in the cancer business. The name alone brings comfort and we all know what the other benefits are." Eileen Tye, breast cancer survivor and My Girls fan.
Theresa Keresztes is the founder and president of Radiant Sun an eCommerce retailer and distributor of My Girls Cream, a calendula-based cream formulated for people looking for fragrance and dye-free cream to help maintain the healthy appearance of their skin after radiation therapy treatments. Ms. Keresztes discovered the cream in Hungary and developed it for cancer survivors after undergoing radiation for breast cancer at Massachusetts General Hospital in 2008.

A 51-year-old Lebanon man is facing charges in connection with a traffic crash that killed his wife.
St. Clair County prosecutors charged Todd A. Barnett with reckless homicide, a class 3 felony, and aggravated driving while under the influence of alcohol causing death, a class 2 felony.
The charges stem from a one-car crash on Jan. 24 on Interstate 64 in East St. Louis.
A passenger in Barnett's vehicle, identified as Julie A. Barnett, 54, died as a result of injuries suffered during the crash. She is survived by two children.
Barnett voluntarily surrendered Thursday night at the O'Fallon Police Department, was processed, posted the required 10 percent of his $40,000 bail and was released.
Illinois State Police investigated the crash.

Barnstorming with Ole Bull - maverick virtuoso
- 8 July 2015 7-9am
Ole Bull was the true pioneer of 19th Century violinists. Mainly self-taught, he was catapulted to international fame almost by chance after an appearance in Bologna in 1834. He went on to conquer audiences on both sides of the Atlantic, quite literally giving concerts where no one had gone before, knife-fighting in the old west, playing on the top of the Pyramid of Cheops and bringing classical music to previously excluded audiences, dovetailing popular songs of the time with classical compositions. Bull was acclaimed by Liszt, Mendelssohn and Chopin to name a few and Schumann rated his playing alongside that of Paganini. He launched the careers of Edvard Grieg and Henrik Ibsen and inspired writers such as Hans Christian Andersen, Mark Twain, George Sand, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Longfellow.
Ole Bull aficionado, Peter Sheppard Skӕrved, is delighted to bring the work and unique style of this massively influential musician to the venue in which the old fiddler would have revelled. This special Wilton's performance will recreate those which Bull loved to give in salons and small theatres, weaving together his transcriptions of Nordic folk music, virtuoso works and music by his favourite composers such as Mozart, Gounod and Bach . Peter will also present the British premiere of his reconstruction of Bull's American Fantasy, a 'barnstorming' piece incorporating Home Sweet Home, Pop! Goes the Weasel, Arkansas Traveler and Hazel Dell; Peter first performed this to great acclaim at last year's Bergen Festival.
The concert also includes '…and love..' by Sadie Harrison, based on poetry by Danish writer, Malene Skӕrved, with the brilliant young Soprano, Eve Daniell.

Alabama Senior
40: 5.28
Nice athlete that shows ability to block on the move. Is able to pull outside and can get out to the second level. Has decent feet on the edge. Has a decent punch. Gets position as a run blocker, and does a nice job walling off and redirecting defender. Shows some ability as a drive blocker when working against linebacker or small defensive end. Flashes mean streak.
Not a reliable blocker because he misses blocks and assignments too often. Is too much of a waist bender and misses his punch on the edge. Needs to do a better job initiating contact, and struggles to defend against the quick inside move because he is slow to set up. Struggles to adjust in space. Opens his stance too early at times, and slides his feet at others indicating poor footwork and technique. Doesn't get a lot of push off the ball. Lacks ideal pop and can get blown up when trying to set the edge at the point of attack. Whiffs on most of his assignments on the second level as well as when asked to pull.
Carpenter flashed tools as a guy in Alabama's run-first offense, but was far too inconsistent and a weak link up front. Came into his senior year listed around 300, but weighed in at the Combine at 321 and the Senior Bowl at 313. He started 27 games at left tackle for Alabama the past two years after being a JUCO transfer. He hails from Augusta, GA and was originally committed to Iowa State, before academics forced him to Coffeyville Community College in Kansas. He
Carpenter flashes tools and is most effective as a run blocker. But he isn't consistent and needs a lot of polish. Part of that may because of his limited experience at the major college level, and going forward he can start to develop more consistency. But most of his problems come in the passing game and I'm not convinced he offers enough there to remain on the outside. He needed to be covered by a tight end quite a bit to be effective at Alabama, and he doesn't offer great size if/when he gets down to his ideal playing weight around 315. He might be a decent right tackle in a zone-blocking scheme, but he doesn't have the power and pop to be a reliable run blocker in a man blocking scheme, at least not outside. I think the best you can hope for is that he develops down the road into a player like Wade Smith for the Texans. Smith struggled early in his career as a reserve tackle for the Dolphins, then moved inside to guard after a few years. Bounced around the league as a reserve for the Chiefs and Jets before solidifying with the Texans this past year. I see a similar journeyman-like path for Carpenter, because I think he's too raw to stick early on and his value is going to be more as a utility player than a guy that has a true position at one spot. Four or so years down the road, he might make a decent stopgap starter for some team, but he doesn't have enough upside and tools to think he's more than an average starter.
Carpenter could push for a reserve spot here in Atlanta. But he doesn't have an ideal position and would have to compete with someone like Jose Valdez for a reserve, utility spot. And that's a battle I doubt he would win. If he could land a practice squad spot, he might have a chance sticking as a reserve a year or two down the road, but I doubt he'd develop into anymore valuable a player than Quinn Ojinnaka was here.
Carpenter is worth a look in the late rounds for a team looking for a developmental tackle or guard, but he's at best a sixth or seventh round pick because of his development time.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Strength: 2.5
Pass Blocking: 2.0
Run Blocking: 3.0
Footwork: 2.0

For the past twenty years Bill Ryan (b.1968) has been a tireless advocate of contemporary music. Through his work as a composer, conductor, producer and educator, he has engaged diverse audiences throughout the country with the music of our time.
Bill's own music has roots in minimalism and jazz, the latter, undoubtedly connected to playing trumpet in jazz bands throughout his youth. His compositions are energetic, evocative and deeply personal, and have been described as "...constantly threatening to burst at the seams, were those seams not so artfully structured...rarely has music this earthy been so elegant (Gramophone)."
Bill's music has been performed in major cities and venues across the country including at (le) Poisson Rouge, Galapagos, Symphony Space, and Lincoln Center (New York), Woodruff Arts Center (Atlanta), the Atlas (Washington D.C.), Initman Theater (Seattle), and the Hobby Center (Houston), and internationally in Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia. His music has received awards from Meet the Composer, ASCAP, and New Music USA. In addition to the concert stage, Bill's music is regularly used by choreographers and dance companies throughout the country.
As a conductor, Bill has commissioned and premiered dozens of works by such notable composers as Phil Kline, Marc Mellits, Belinda Reynolds, Jad Abumrad, Evan Ziporyn, and David Lang. In 2006 he founded The Grand Valley State University New Music Ensemble, who have been profiled in numerous publications including Newsweek, the New York Times, and Billboard Magazine, and featured on NPR's Weekend Edition, All Things Considered, and WNYC's Radiolab. Beyond their many campus events they have performed concerts in Detroit, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington D.C., at New York's Bang On a Can Marathon, as members of the all-star ensemble assembled by the Kronos Quartet to perform on the In C 45th Anniversary concert at Carnegie Hall, at (le) Poisson Rouge, and at the Make Music New York summer festival.
Bill has produced three critically acclaimed recordings by the ensemble, named to top year-end lists by the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Weekly, Time Out Chicago, and many others. Music from their first CD, Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians, was recently named one of the top five classical recordings of the decade by WNYC's John Schaefer. Bill resides in West Michigan with his wife and three children. When not working on music Bill can usually be found in the woods, washing his truck, or watching the Detroit Tigers.

INFO: Using the MSMQ Service on a Windows 2000-Based Cluster
Article ID: 310775 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q310775
This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
If you install Microsoft Message Queuing 2.0 on a cluster, this does not automatically provide access to Active Directory even though the local nodes of the cluster are Active Directory servers. You cannot configure Active Directory to run on a cluster, only on the local nodes of the cluster. In a clustered environment, the Message Queuing service on the local nodes are set to manual startup. Because of Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) dependencies, you cannot set the local node Message Queuing service to automatic startup. MSDTC on a Windows 2000-based cluster is set up as a clustered resource and it cannot be online when a node of the cluster is started. Changing the properties of the local Message Queuing service to automatic can result in unpredictable issues.
There are various application configurations that may require the local node Message Queuing service to start automatically, such as:
A common method that is used to work around this issue is to add a batch file to the virtual group that hosts Message Queuing 2.0 and to make it a generic application that depends on the Message Queuing resource (the batch file runs the net start msmq command). However, you need to be aware that this batch file completes and exits the process and causes the generic application resource to have an offline status. Unless you set this resource to not affect the group, this can cause the group to fail between the nodes repeatedly. Even with this option set, this may still confuse users and monitoring software in particular. To make the confusion less of an issue, add something that is like a "sleep" implementation to the batch file so that it does not exit but idles and appears online to the cluster.
A better solution is to use a combination of the same batch file and Srvany.exe from the Windows Resource Kit. Configure a Windows NT service for an instance of Srvany.exe (use a manual startup type) that launches the batch file, and then configure a generic service on the cluster to start it, which allows the batch file to start and exit while Srvany stays active. Make the generic service dependent on the clustered Message Queuing service to satisfy the cluster service that the generic service is still online, even though the batch file exits. In either case, the local node service does not stop if the cluster resource is taken offline or if it fails over to the other node. If the local Message Queuing service is already running, the batch file command is ignored.

A reusable temporary cover for indoor house plants to retain moisture for the plant. The cover is formed of flexible transparent plastic sheet material with tie means to completely enclose a house plant and includes a water retention portion to catch and store excess water. By enclosing the plants after watering, a terrarium effect is produced and moisture is retained within the cover for a long period of time.
1. A plant cover adapted to substantially enclose a plant in a container, said plant cover formed of a substantially water-proof and light transmitting flexible sheet with upper and lower edges and having a first tie means, second tie means and trough means, said first tie means comprising a first channel and draw string within said first channel and being located along said upper edge of said flexible sheet, said second tie means being located between said lower edge of said flexible sheet and said trough means and comprising a second channel and a draw string within said second channel, said trough means being integrally formed with said second channel of said second tie means, said upper and said lower edges of said flexible sheet being formed of upper and lower folded portions of said sheet and said lower folded portion being sealed to said sheet to form said second channel wherein said lower folded portion is sealed between said lower edge and the distal edge of said lower folded portion and the trough means is formed above said seal and the distance from the seal to the distal edge of said lower folded portion is greater than the distance from the seal to said lower edge.
2. A plant cover formed from a folded sheet to form two vertical edges and adapted to substantially enclose a plant in a hanging container, said plant cover formed of a substantially waterproof and light transmitting flexible sheet having a first tie means comprising a channel and a drawstring within said channel, said first tie means being located along an upper edge of said flexible sheet and trough means adjacent to a lower edge of said flexible sheet wherein said flexible sheet is formed in two layers with said layers being permanently hermetically sealed along the entire bottom and lower bottom portion of one first vertical edge of said flexible sheet to form said trough means and wherein the upper portion of said one side remains unsealed so that said flexible sheet may be enclosed about a plant and subsequently opened to permit watering of the plant without removing or disassembling said plant cover and hook means located at the juncture of said upper edge and a second vertical edge formed by the fold of said plant cover for supporting said plant cover whereby no weight attributable to the container is placed against said trough means and said hook means is located so as to allow the unimpeded opening of said unsealed side during watering of the plant.
This invention relates to covers for indoor house plants that are to be used as a temporary measure when the plants cannot be watered or sprayed for an extended period of time.
Usually, when one wanted to be sure that their indoor house plants would be properly watered and/or sprayed during a period of absence such as a vacation, it was necessary either to transport all of the plants to another house where proper care could be given or a person would be authorized to enter the residence for the purpose of caring for the plants. Neither alternative worked well since in the former situation, the change in environment could seriously affect the plants while in the latter situation, the person employed to care for the plants would not always be diligent in his responsibilities.
There thus exists a need for an inexpensive device that is easy to use and will keep plants watered for a long period of time witout the need for constant care.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved cover for indoor house plants.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved plant cover that can be easily placed about the plants and will permit light to pass through to the plants.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a reusable plant cover that will catch and retain any excess water placed on the plants.
It is still yet another object of the present invention to provide a reusable plant cover that can be easily made in different sizes to fit the many types and sizes of house plants and which is relatively easy to manufacture and inexpensive in cost.
The above outlined objectives as well as other objects and features of the present invention are accomplished by a reusable cover comprising a sheet of flexible material such as polyethylene having tie means to retain the cover about the plant. In one embodiment for use with plants resting on a floor or other surface, the cover includes a pair of the tie means for securing the cover to the plant container as well as tieing the cover to a closed position above the plant. A lip along the inner lower portion of the cover prevents leakage of excess water from the cover. In a second embodiment for use with hanging plants, the cover includes a closed lower portion which encloses the plant container to retain any excess water, an upper tie means to fully enclose the plant and a hook on the upper portion of the cover to assist in supporting the cover.
For a full understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a house plant resting on a horizontal surface and enclosure by a temporary plant cover in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the first embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line 3--3 of FIG. 2 looking in the direction of the arrows:
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the temporary plant cover of the present invention for use with a hanging plant;
FIG. 5 is a view in partially folded condition of the second embodiment of the temporary plant cover of the present invention; and
FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along the line 6--6 of FIG. 5 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, where like reference numerals indicate like parts throughout the several figures, reference numeral 10 indicates a first embodiment of the temporary plant cover of the present invention for use with a plant in a container 12 adapted to sit on a horizontal surface 14 such as a floor, shelf, or a table.
The temporary plant cover 10 is preferably made from a heat-sealable plastic sheet material such as polyethylene although other types of flexible sheet material may be used. As will be discussed below, polyethylene is preferred for its heat sealing capability as well as its light transmitting and water impermeable characteristics.
The temporary plant cover 10, as seen best in FIG. 2, comprises a substantially rectangular sheet 16 having an upper edge 18, a lower edge 20 and side edges 22,24. Although sheet 16 is shown rectangular with edges 18,20 being the longer dimension, it should be obvious that other shapes including squares can be utilized depending on the size of the plant to be covered. The upper edge 18 is formed by folding a portion of sheet 16 and heat sealing the folded portion along line 26 which is sufficiently spaced from upper edge 18 to form an opening or channel 28 for an upper tie means such as drawstring 30. The lower edge 20 is formed by folding a portion of sheet 16 and heat sealing the folded portion along line 32 which is sufficiently spaced from lower edge 20 to form an opening or channel 34 for a lower tie means such as drawstring 36. As discussed previously, if polyethylene is used then the openings 28,34 are preferably formed by heat sealing along lines 26,32 respectively, however, if other materials are used then other suitable means such as adhesive or sewing can be utilized, however, as discussed below, it is important that the lower seal line 32 be a continuous seal.
As seen best in FIG. 3, the lower folded portion is formed of a larger portion of sheet 16 then the upper folded portion with seal line 32 being between lower edge 20 and the distal edge 38 of the lower folded portion. The portion between seal line 32 and distal edge 38 forms an open trough 40 to catch and retain excess water and is preferably of greater dimension than the portion between lower edge 20 and seal line 32.
To use the temporary plant cover 10 shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, a user initially places the cover 10 in back of the plant with the surface of the cover as shown in FIG. 2 facing the user so that the trough 40 will be on the inside of the cover when the cover envelopes the plant completely. The user then brings the edges 22,24 about the plant and tightens the bottom edge 20 about the plant container 12 by pulling on drawstring 36. The upper edge 18 is then closed about the upper portion of the plant by pulling on drawstring 30. The edges 22,24 should be overlapping to provide complete enclosure of the plant. Watering and/or spraying of the plant is best done just before fully enveloping the plant and any excess water will run down sheet 16 into trough 40 where it will provide additional moisture for the plant through evaporation.
Reference should now be made to FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 where reference numeral 42 indicates a second embodiment of the temporary plant cover of the present invention for use with a plant in a hanging container 44 adapted to be suspended from an overhead surface 46 such as a ceiling through the usual chain link support 48.
The temporary plant cover 42 is preferably formed from a rectangular sheet of material 50 folded about itself to form sides 52,54 connected by common edge 56. The sides 52,54 are also joined, preferably by heat sealing, along bottom edge 58 and partial side edge 60. The lower portion of edge 56, bottom edge 58 and partial edge 60 define a trough 62 to catch and retain excess water. The sides 52,54 of sheet 50 are not joined above lower partial side edge 60 to enable the cover 42 to be placed about the plant. The cover 42 further includes an upper edge 64 formed by folding a portion of sheet 50 and heat sealing the folded portion along line 66 to form an opening or channel 68 for an upper tie means such as drawstring 70.
A hook member 72 may be attached to the cover 42 adjacent upper edge 60 and common edge 56 for a purpose described below.
As previously discussed, cover 42 is preferably made of a single sheet of material folded along common edge 52. However, it should be obvious that other methods of construction can be utilized including the use of two separate sheets of material with common edge 52 produced by appropriate means such as heat sealing.
To use the temporary plant cover 42 shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, a user initially spreads apart sides 52 and 54 and places the plant and its container into the cover so that the container 44 is substantially within trough 62. The hook 72 may then be placed onto one of the links in chain link support 44 to provide additional support for the cover. The upper portions of sides 52,54 are then brought around and over the plant and drawstring 70 is pulled to close the cover completely about the plant. The edges of sides 52,54 above the lower edge 60 should overlap to provide complete enclosure for the plant. Watering and/or spraying of the plant is best done just before fully enveloping the plant so that any excess water will run down sheet 50 into trough 62 where it will provide additional moisture for the plant through evaporation.
It has been found that the temporary plant covers of the present invention made of polyethlene on a similar impermeable transparent or translucent material when placed around a plant after watering will keep the plant in a proper environment for a substantial period of time. It appears that the cover provides a terrarium like container for the plants and provides a proper balance of moisture, light and air for the plants.
It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above are efficiently attained and since certain changes may be made in the above construction without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or as shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
