Star Trek Online: Space UI Guide
One of the most confusing things about any new game is the user interface. The space-side user interface certainly lives up to this standard. There's a lot going on and a lot to keep track of in combat. The last thing you want to be doing is trying to figure out the nuts and bolts of your ship while a Klingon Bird-of-Prey is breathing down your neck. Fortunately, this guide will get you up to speed in no time.
We'll use the screenshot below (click here for the full-size version) as our example piece. As you can see, this is the type of moment you need to know your systems. With multiple ships engaged and numerous disruptor bolts flying wildly, the last thing you want to be doing is trying to figure out where your defense preset key is.
We'll break down each section of the UI to make it easier to understand. This should keep it all from being too overwhelming for new players as well. If any button is grayed out, it simply means you are unable to use it at that time.
Target Info
Clicking this button will bring up a second window with additional information about your target. Be aware that the window can be obtrusive, so use with caution during combat.
Grade Differential
This represents the difference in levels to you. In this example, the window shows a "1", meaning the target is one level above me. A "-1" would mean the target was one level below me.
Target Hull & Shield Strength
Shows the condition of your target. Shield areas are represented in red around a ship icon. The percentage number in the middle shows remaining hull strength. Mousing over the ship icon will show the numerical value of both hull and shields.
Current Target
Displays the name of your current target. Mousing over this will show the full name if it does not fit within the display.
Target's Target
This shows you who (or what) your target is currently targeting. The smaller targeting system works the same way as the larger, and will display all the information you need about the condition of your target's target.
Small icons will appear below the targeting windows. These represent effects that are currently affecting the ship. They will display buffs as well as hazardous effects.
Ship Tier
This shows what tier a ship is. Keep this in mind when you're out hunting. An enemy may only appear to be 1 "level" above you, but if they're in a tier IV ship and you're in a tier II, that's one battle you may not want to go into alone.
Displays the distance between you and your target.
Hail Starfleet
Using this button will save you from a lot of running back and forth. Click here to complete missions and gather your rewards. New missions will also be available from NPC's through this window as you progress so check it often.
Scan Area
Using this button will scan the area for any anomalies. This is what you'll use to locate those precious alien artifacts, biological samples, and more to use for crafting.
Depart System
If you've completed your mission (or don't have one to begin with), use this button to exit the system you're currently in. If you're in the middle of a mission, you can use this button to quit it. This option is not available if you are engaged in combat.
RL Time
Rather than being some arbitrary in-game time, this clock shows the same time as your desktop, thus making it much easier to keep track of when you need to log off and get some sleep.
This window shows your current location. If a system name is too long for the window, mouse over it to display the full name.
Display Big Map
This will bring you to a map of the system or sector you are currently in.
Character Status
This button will bring up your character screen. From here, you can access your equipment, skills, and more.
Opens your inventory window.
Captain's Log and Mission Journal
Hitting this button will open a new window from which you can access Episodes, Accolades, the Captain's Log, and your Communication Log.
Game Menu
From here, you can rearrange your HUD, access game options, chat settings, log out, or exit.
Help and Support
Allows you to access the library computer, request GM help, report a bug, get account support, and view your open tickets.
This is where you'll access PvP Queues, get your mail, visit the bridge of your ship (if you've chosen one), visit the C-Store (micro transactions), a music player, and the sharing settings.
Any aft (rear) weapons you have equipped will show here.
Any fore (front) weapons you have equipped will show here.
Fire All Beams
Pressing this button will fire any and all beam weapons that are available. They cannot be in a cooldown mode and your target must be within each weapon's firing arc.
Fire All Torpedoes
Pressing this button will fire any and all torpedo weapons that are available. They cannot be in a cooldown mode and your target must be within each weapon's firing arc.
Fire All Weapons
Pressing this button will fire every weapon you have. They cannot be in a cooldown mode and your target must be within each weapon's firing arc.
This is where you'll place all the abilities you want at your immediate beck and call with the press of a finger. Right-click+drag an icon to remove it from your hotbar.
Pressing this button will bring up a window with any abilities you can drag to your hotbars.
Add/Sub Rows
Clicking this button will bring up a small "1 2 3" image. Click on the number of hotbars you want and presto!
Officer Stations
Shows what officers you currently have assigned to each station and their corresponding abilities. While clicking on the officer's image won't do anything, their ability images act additional hotkeys.
Shows your current auxilary power ratio. The higher the number, the easier it will be to turn and perform other functions.
Shows your current engine power. The higher the number, the faster you can go.
Shows your current shield power. The higher the number, the faster your shields will regenerate.
Shows your current weapon power. The higher the number, the more damage your energy weapons will do. Weapon power has no affect on torpedo damage.
This is the Attack power preset. Hitting this will automatically distribute your power as shown in the image, with weapon power being the primary focus and shields being secondary.
This is the Defense power preset. Hitting this will automatically distribute your power as shown in the image, with shield power being the primary focus and weapons being secondary.
This is the Speed power preset. Hitting this will automatically distribute your power as shown in the image, with engine power being the primary focus and auxilary being secondary.
This is the Balanced preset. Hitting this will automatically redistribute power between all systems evenly.
Alternate View
Clicking this button will bring up a small "1 2 3" image. Option 1 is the default view as shown above in the presets. To adjust power levels in this view, you must hit one of the preset options listed above.
Alternate View 2
This alternate view works the same way as the default, but shows the power levels in graph form rather than numerical. To adjust power levels in this view, you must hit one of the preset options listed above.
Alternate View 3
This alternate view works the same was as Alternate View 2, but allows you to adjust each power scale individually. You can also save the presets you create by clicking on the image of the floppy disk. Pressing the rotating arrow will return power settings to their default values.
Hitting this button will bring your speed to zero. Stopping isn't instant in space, but it is relatively close. When stopped, the icon will change into a down arrow. Hitting that button will begin moving you in reverse.
Current Speed
Shows the speed your ship is moving in terms of throttle position. The higher the bar, the faster you'll move.
Full Impulse
Hitting this button will bring your ship to maximum speed. Impulse speed drains power from all other systems. It takes time to build those power levels back up, so while it is useful for getting somewhere quickly, be careful not to fly into combat. Getting hit by an enemy weapon will also drop you out of impulse speed.
Hull Strength
Shows the percentage of hull integrity your ship has left. Your ship (and you along with it) will blow up if hull integrity reaches zero.
This displays the strength of your shields on each side of your ship. You can strengthen individual areas by clicking on the small arrow attached to each shield.
Crew: X/X members
Hull Repair Rate: X%
Along with displaying the name of your ship, this window shows the number of crewmembers available for work. The higher the number of crew, you faster hull repairs can be completed.

Ink or embossing a lot of proofs is definitely an analog solution to a modern technology problem. I wonder how long it would take to do a 100 pllus prints. Ink would be removable, emobsing would not, but a lot more work.
But, since we are using modern technology to discus the problem, why not solve it with modern technology. I guess then, finding a printer to incorporate it into the prints would be an alternative.

More Democrats voice Obamacare concerns as website blame goes around
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The contractors for the government's troubled healthcare website sought to deflect blame on Wednesday as more Democrats voiced concerns about the implementation of President Barack Obama's signature domestic policy.
Administration officials, in damage-control mode for nearly a week, held a closed-door briefing for Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives and a private session with insurance company executives, who said they would assist in efforts to fix the Healthcare.gov website.
U.S. Contractors shift blame for Healthcare.gov problems
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Two leading high-tech contractors for Healthcare.gov website sought on Wednesday to shift the blame for the Obamacare portal's problems in testimony to a congressional panel investigating the program's troubled rollout.
CGI Federal, the main contractor for Healthcare.gov, blamed early problems on another contractor's software and also said the federal government was ultimately responsible for the website's performance.
From shutdown ashes, Republicans seek to expose Obamacare's flawed launch
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – After a bruising defeat over Obamacare in the government shutdown, Republicans hope to regain momentum by exposing how President Barack Obama's administration ran aground trying to launch his signature healthcare reform law.
Three Republican-led committees in the House of Representatives are investigating the technical flaws that have hobbled Healthcare.gov, a federal website meant to help millions of Americans in 36 states sign up for health insurance benefits, since its launch on October 1.
Obama turns to trusted aide for 'tech surge' to fix healthcare website
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama turned to a trusted adviser on Tuesday to lead a "tech surge" aimed at repairing the troubled launch of the government website at the heart of his signature healthcare law.
Jeffrey Zients, a former official of the Office of Management and Budget who will become head of the National Economic Council in January, will provide short-term management advice on the project, said Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).

House Republicans probe White House role in health care rollout
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Congressional Republicans on Tuesday announced a new investigation into the troubled rollout of President Barack Obama's health care reforms, aimed at learning what role the White House may have played in decisions about the design and development of problem-plagued website Healthcare.gov.
In a letter to two top White House technology officers, Republicans on the House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee said their investigation already points to significant White House involvement in discussions between the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and contractor CGI Federal.
Republicans press U.S. officials over Obamacare snags
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republicans in Congress chastised President Barack Obama's top health adviser on Thursday for declining to testify before an oversight panel about problems in rolling out the president's signature healthcare program known as Obamacare.
Less than a day after Congress ended a 16-day partial government shutdown precipitated by Republican demands to delay or defund Obamacare, they sent a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius demanding she make officials available for the October 24 hearing.
Obamacare website shows improvement, new problems emerge
By David Morgan and Lewis Krauskopf
(Reuters) – The U.S. administration has made headway against an online traffic bottleneck that jammed enrollment for President Barack Obama's healthcare reform, but new technical problems greeted users on Monday showing how difficult it will be to get consumers registered in time for coverage to start January 1.
Three weeks since the launch of new health insurance plans under Obamacare, users were able to create accounts for themselves and begin the enrollment process through the Healthcare.gov insurance marketplace for consumers in 36 states, according to people aiding the sign-up effort.
New 'deadline' for fixing Obamacare glitches seen in mid-November
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. administration has a little over a month to fix the technology problems crippling its online health insurance marketplace, or jeopardize the goal of signing up millions of Americans in time for benefits under President Barack Obama's healthcare law, experts said on Thursday.
Problems with the federal marketplace's entry portal serving 36 states, the website Healthcare.gov, continued for a 10th day on Thursday despite signs of gradual improvement, keeping a brake on the ability of consumers to shop for federally subsidized health coverage.
With Obamacare systems still slow, backlog builds among the uninsured
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK, Oct 3 (Reuters) – Americans trying to
find out how much health coverage will cost under Obamacare
endured a third day of limited access to new online health
insurance exchanges on Thursday, leading to a growing backlog of
people waiting to enter the system.
Health clinics and other nonprofit groups that offer
in-person assistance reported unexpectedly high numbers of
walk-in visits and phone calls from potential enrollees, who
were unable to enter federal and state marketplace websites that
were overwhelmed by millions of online hits.

Olympic silver medalist and Western Carolina University alumni Manteo Mitchell brought a whole new meaning to his motivational phrase Faith, Focus and Finish during last Thursday's 4x400 meter relay Olympic Trial race.
The former Catamount Track and Field standout had 200 meters to go in the first leg of the 4x400-meter relay preliminaries when he heard a "pop." With his relay partner cheering him on to hand off the baton, Mitchell fought through the pain and finished his leg of the race.
Mitchell limped to the side of the track and watched his team tie for first with the team from the Bahamas with a time of 2:58.87. After the race, Team USA announced that Mitchell's left fibula cracked midway through his stretch of the race forcing him to finish the last 200 meters of the race with a broken leg.

Thomas Alleyne's Fringe Group have high hopes for next year's festival
Posted: August 29, 2014|
A HIGH school theatre group which took their production to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival said the experience was a huge success.
And they are already talking about their next challenge.
Alleynes Fringe Group took their production of The Hound of the Baskervilles to the stage at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Project director Joe Mathews said the experience had fuelled their desires to return to the stage.
Joe said: "The Fringe was a great success and an inspirational experience for everyone involved. We got some good-sized audiences in, ranging from 29 to 53, and all seemingly appreciative and impressed by our work.
"The buzz on the Royal Mile with all the other performers was electric and, though at times it was almost overwhelming, it really was a fabulous experience.
"At the moment nothing is set in stone but many of the group are plotting a return to the Fringe, some talking about the possibility of writing their own sketch comedy shows, others discussing musicals.
"It has really fuelled our desire to return. We'll have to see."
The team told Radio Stoke that there were not a lot of opportunities in the Uttoxeter area for up and coming talent.
Joe said: "We've been taking in as many shows as we can. Our advertising has already developed a lot.
"When we first got here the Royal Mile was quite overwhelming and we've learned and developed our own methods now.
"We've had really good audiences and decent numbers, so that was the aim.
"Members of cast have been inspired by the various things they've seen.
"Already people are talking about doing their own script for a change from something which is pre-written but obviously this was a good way to get into it. It was something we could launch for our first journey to the Fringe.
"Everyone is thinking about what to do next – we've had ideas about stand-up comedy, musicals – all sorts of things.
"In terms of acting in general, a lot of us are taking away feedback from our own individual performance.
"It also gives you confidence to be involved in something with such high level performers, which obviously is a fantastic thing for moving onto drama school and universities."
The team raised money and awareness of the Donna Louise Trust throughout their challenge.
Jodie Horsfall, technician for the group, said "Being a small area it's harder to fund raise for the hospice.
"We're all passionate about raising money for a good cause and have raised money for both the Donna Louise Trust and the Teenage Cancer Trust this year."
The team was keen to thank everyone who has supported them in the project – family and friends, school, the Burton and District Arts Council, Burton Brewhouse, Rising Brook Baptist Church, Brodies Hostel, The Fringe Society and The Space UK.
They said via Facebook: "We have been so lucky to receive such overwhelming support in what was a very ambitious and tricky project, and we are grateful to have had such an amazing experience."

Re: Getting hitched
Hi, I hope everything went well and you had a great time and everything went smoothly.
I realise it's too late for you but perhaps this might help others hunting accomodation in central Estepona. As an alternative to a hotel you can rent very reasonable self contained apartments that have full kitchen facilities. They are situated in a quiet area of town about halfway between the town centre and the port. I googled Estepona golf apartments to find their website and have recommended them on the feedback for their website.

Bogen 168 Tripod Head, Bogen 168 Ball Head With Quick Release Plate. As shown.
Paint loss, some wear and light soiling. Also, the lever that locks the head from swiveling has broken off in the locked position. The ball head itself still rotates, swivels and locks. Just the panning lock lever is broken. NOTE: Again, the panning lock lever is broken, but, even without the lever, the panning motion still locks solid. I pushed it to the locked position with a screwdriver and it stays just fine. In fact I just left it that way because you can still "pan" using the ball head lock/lever. It will be shipped in the locked position and all you need to do is mount the head to your tripod. It has and will work fine as it is.
Price is $ 25.00 (Price Includes Shipping). USA shipping only. Shipping is thru the USPS only and will include tracking and insurance.
PAYMENT NOTE: If you want this item, I will need the email address you use for Paypal. Once I have that, I will send you an invoice thru paypal. As soon as the invoice is paid, I will ship the item.
PLEASE READ: I will only ship to confirmed paypal accounts. If your paypal account is not confirmed, Im sorry, but I will deny the payment. I hope you understand.
FYI - I have 100% positive feedback as a seller on ebay. If you want to check my reputation let me know.
Thank you for your time,

systemd is a suite of system management daemons, libraries, and utilities designed as a central management and configuration platform for the Linux computer operating system. Described by its authors as a "basic building block" for an operating system,[5] systemd primarily aims to replace the Linux init system (the first process executed in user space during the Linux startup process) inherited from UNIX System V and Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). The name systemd adheres to the Unix convention of making daemons easier to distinguish by having the letter d as the last letter of the filename.[6]
systemd is designed for Linux and programmed exclusively for the Linux API. It is published as free and open-source software under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 or later.[4]
The design of systemd generated significant controversy within the free software community, leading the critics to argue that systemd's architecture violates the Unix philosophy and that it will eventually form a system of interlocking dependencies.[7] However, as of 2015[update] most major Linux distributions have adopted it as their default init system.
Lennart Poettering and Kay Sievers, software engineers that initially developed systemd,[1] sought to surpass the efficiency of the init daemon in several ways. They wanted to improve the software framework for expressing dependencies, to allow more processing to be done concurrently or in parallel during system booting, and to reduce the computational overhead of the shell.
Poettering describes systemd development as "never finished, never complete, but tracking progress of technology". In May 2014, Poettering further defined systemd as aiming to unify "pointless differences between distributions", by providing the following three general functions:[9]
- A system and service manager (manages both the system, as by applying various configurations, and its services)
- A software platform (serves as a basis for developing other software)
- The glue between applications and the kernel (provides various interfaces that expose functionalities provided by the kernel)
systemd is not just the name of the init daemon but also refers to the entire software bundle around it, which, in addition to the systemd init daemon, includes the daemons journald, logind and networkd, and many other low-level components. In January 2013, Poettering described systemd not as one program, but rather a large software suite that includes 69 individual binaries.[10] As an integrated software suite, systemd replaces the startup sequences and runlevels controlled by the traditional init daemon, along with the shell scripts executed under its control. systemd also integrates many other services that are common on Linux systems by handling user logins, the system console, device hotplugging (see udev), scheduled execution (replacing cron) logging, hostnames and locales.
Like the init daemon, systemd is a daemon that manages other daemons, which, including systemd itself, are background processes. systemd is the first daemon to start during booting and the last daemon to terminate during shutdown. The systemd daemon serves as the root of the user space's process tree; the first process (pid 1) has a special role on Unix systems, as it receives a SIGCHLD signal when a daemon process (which has detached from its parent) terminates. Therefore, the first process is particularly well suited for the purpose of monitoring daemons; systemd attempts to improve in that particular area over the traditional approach, which would usually not restart daemons automatically but only launch them once without further monitoring.
systemd executes elements of its startup sequence in parallel, which is faster than the traditional startup sequence's sequential approach.[11] For inter-process communication (IPC), systemd makes Unix domain sockets and D-Bus available to the running daemons. The state of systemd itself can also be preserved in a snapshot for future recall.
Unit files[edit]
systemd records initialization instructions for each daemon in a configuration file (referred to as a "unit file") that uses a declarative language, replacing the traditionally used per-daemon startup shell scripts. Unit file types include service, socket, device, mount, automount, swap, target, path, timer (which can be used as a cron-like job scheduler[12]), snapshot, slice and scope.[13]
Core components and libraries[edit]
Following its integrated approach, systemd also provides replacements for various daemons and utilities, including the startup shell scripts, pm-utils, inetd, acpid, syslog, watchdog, cron and atd. systemd's core components include the following:
- systemd is a system and service manager for Linux operating systems.
- systemctl may be used to introspect and control the state of the systemd system and service manager.
- systemd-analyze may be used to determine system boot-up performance statistics and retrieve other state and tracing information from the system and service manager.
systemd tracks processes using the Linux kernel's cgroups subsystem instead of by using process identifiers (PIDs); thus, daemons cannot "escape" systemd, not even by double-forking. systemd not only uses cgroups, but also augments them with systemd-nspawn and machinectl, two utility programs that facilitate the creation and management of software containers.[14] Since version 205, systemd also offers ControlGroupInterface, which is an API to the Linux kernel cgroups.[15] The Linux kernel cgroups are adapted to support kernfs,[16] and are being modified to support a unified hierarchy.[17]
Ancillary components[edit]
Beside its primary purpose of providing a replacement Linux init system, systemd suite provides additional functionality, including its following components:
- consoled
- systemd-consoled provides a user console daemon, intending to replace the Linux kernel's virtual terminal support with a more capable userspace component.[18] Its preview version was released in October 2014, as part of systemd version 217.[19]
- journald
- systemd-journald is a daemon responsible for event logging, with append-only binary files serving as its logfiles. The system administrator may choose whether to log system events with systemd-journald, syslog-ng or rsyslog.
- logind
- systemd-logind is a daemon that manages user logins and seats in various ways. It is an integrated login manager that offers multiseat improvements[20] and replaces ConsoleKit, which is no longer maintained.[21] For X11 display managers the switch to logind requires a minimal amount of porting.[22] It was integrated in systemd version 30.
- networkd
- networkd allows systemd to perform various networking configurations; in version 209, when it was first integrated, support was limited to statically assigned addresses and basic support for bridging configuration.[23][24][25][26][27] In July 2014, systemd version 215 was released, adding new features such as a DHCP server for IPv4 hosts, and VXLAN support.[28]
- timedated
- systemd-timedated is a daemon that can be used to control time-related settings, such as the system time, system time zone, or selection between UTC and local time zone system clock. It is accessible through D-Bus.[29] It was integrated in systemd version 30.
- udevd
- udev is a device manager for the Linux kernel, which handles the /dev directory and all user space actions when adding/removing devices, including firmware loading. In April 2012, the source tree for udev was merged into the systemd source tree.[30][31]
- libudev
- It is the standard library for utilizing udev, which allows third-party applications to query udev resources.
Integration with other software[edit]
In the interest of enhancing the interoperability between systemd and the GNOME desktop environment, systemd coauthor Lennart Poettering asked the GNOME Project to consider making systemd an external dependency of GNOME 3.2.[32]
In November 2012, the GNOME Project concluded that basic GNOME functionality should not rely on systemd.[33] However, GNOME 3.8 introduced a compile-time choice between the logind and ConsoleKit API, the former being provided at the time only by systemd. Ubuntu provided a separate logind binary but systemd became a de facto dependency of GNOME for most Linux distributions, in particular since ConsoleKit is not actively maintained anymore and upstream recommends the use of systemd-logind instead.[34] The developers of Gentoo Linux also attempted to adapt these changes in OpenRC, but the implementation contained too many bugs, causing the distribution to mark systemd as a dependency of GNOME.[35][36]
GNOME has further integrated logind.[37] As of Mutter version 3.13.2, logind is a dependency for Wayland sessions.[38] There are plans to replace gnome-session with systemd, but systemd would not be running as PID 1 and gnome-session would remain available on non-Linux systems. Since systemd supports only Linux and cannot be easily ported to other operating systems due to the heavy use of Linux kernel APIs, there is a need to offer compatible APIs on other operating systems such as OpenBSD.
In a September 2014 ZDNet interview, Theodore Ts'o expressed his opinion that the dispute over systemd's centralized design philosophy, more than technical concerns, indicates a dangerous general trend toward uniformizing the Linux ecosystem, alienating and marginalizing parts of the open-source community, and leaving little room for alternative projects. In this he found similarities with the attitude he found in the GNOME project toward non-standard configurations.[39] On social media, Ts'o also later compared the attitudes of two key developers to that of GNOME's developers.[40]
Graphical frontends[edit]
A few graphical frontends are available, including the following:
- systemd-ui
- Also known as systemadm, it is a simple GTK+-based graphical front-end for systemd.[41] It provides a simple user interface to manage services and a graphical agent to request passwords from the user. As of 2014[update] the systemadm program has received little development or maintenance in the last few years, because development focus has shifted to command-line tools like systemctl and systemd-analyze.
- Kcmsystemd
- Provides a graphical systemd frontend for the KDE desktop environment. It integrates into the KDE's system settings window, allowing monitoring and controlling of systemd services, as well as graphical editing of configuration files.
Forks and alternative implementations[edit]
- eudev
- In 2012, the Gentoo Linux project created a fork of udev in order to avoid dependency on the systemd architecture. The resulting fork is called eudev and it makes udev functionality available without systemd.[42] A stated goal of the project is to keep eudev independent of any Linux distribution or init system.[43]
- uselessd
- In 2014, uselessd was created as a lightweight fork of systemd. The project seeks to remove features and programs deemed unnecessary for an init system, increase implementation modularity, improve portability across platforms, as well as address other perceived faults.[44]
- uselessd supports the musl and µClibc libraries, so it may be used on embedded systems, whereas systemd only supports glibc. uselessd is attempting initial support for non-Linux platforms (so far only build time being ready), whereas the systemd project does not attempt any compatibility with BSD systems.[44] The uselessd project plans further improvements on cross-platform compatibility, as well as architectural overhauls and refactoring for the Linux build in the future.[45]
- systembsd
- In 2014, a Google Summer of Code project named "systembsd" was started in order to provide alternative implementations of these APIs for OpenBSD. The original project developer began it in order to ease his transition from Linux to OpenBSD.[46]
- The systembsd project will not provide an init replacement, but aims at providing OpenBSD with compatible daemons for hostnamed, timedated, localed, and logind in particular. The project does not create new systemd-like functionality, and is only meant to act as a wrapper over the native OpenBSD system. The developer aims for systembsd to be installable as part of the ports collection, not as part of a base system, stating that, "systemd and *BSD differ fundamentally in terms of philosophy and development practices."[46]
- consolekit2
- ConsoleKit was forked in October 2014 by Xfce developers wanting its features to still be maintained and available on operating systems other than Linux. While not ruling out the possibility of reviving the original repository in the long term, the main developer considers ConsoleKit2 a temporary necessity until systembsd matures.[47]
Adoption and reception[edit]
While most distributions boot systemd by default, some allow other init systems to be used; in this case switching the init system is possible by installing the appropriate packages. A fork of Debian has been proposed to avoid systemd.[48]

History and controversy[edit]
In May 2011, Fedora became the first major Linux distribution to enable systemd by default.[65]
In a 2012 interview, Slackware's lead Patrick Volkerding expressed reservations about the systemd architecture, stating his belief that its design was contrary to the Unix philosophy of interconnected utilities with narrowly defined functionalities.[66] As of August 2014[update], Slackware does not support or use systemd, but Volkerding has not ruled out the possibility of switching to it.[67]
Between October 2013 and February 2014, a long debate among the Debian Technical Committee occurred on the Debian mailing list,[68] discussing which init system to use as the default in Debian 8 "jessie", and culminating in a decision in favor of systemd. The debate was widely publicized[69][70] and in the wake of the decision the debate continues on the Debian mailing list.
In January 2013, Lennart Poettering attempted to address concerns about systemd in a blog post called The Biggest Myths.[10] After continued controversy over systemd, in October 2014, Poettering complained that the "Open Source community is full of assholes, and I probably more than most others am one of their most favourite targets." Poettering went on to blame Linus Torvalds and other kernel developers for the state of the community.[71]
In February 2014, after the Debian's decision was made, Mark Shuttleworth announced on his blog that Ubuntu would be following through as well in implementing systemd,[72] despite his earlier comments in October 2013 that described systemd as "hugely invasive and hardly justified".[73]
In March 2014, Eric S. Raymond opined that systemd's design goals were prone to mission creep and software bloat.[74] In April 2014, Linus Torvalds expressed reservations about the attitude of Kay Sievers, a key systemd developer, toward users and bug reports.[75]
In late April 2014, a campaign to boycott systemd was launched, with a website listing various reasons against its adoption.[76][77]
In an August 2014 article published in InfoWorld, Paul Venezia wrote about the systemd controversy, and attributed the controversy to violation of the Unix philosophy, and to "enormous egos who firmly believe they can do no wrong."[78] The article also characterizes the architecture of systemd as more similar to that of svchost.exe, a critical system component in Microsoft Windows with a broad functional scope.[78]
In November 2014, Debian maintainers and Technical Committee members Joey Hess,[79] Russ Allbery,[80] Ian Jackson[81] and systemd package maintainer Tollef Fog Heen[82] resigned from their positions. All three justified their decision on the public Debian mailing list and in personal blogs with their exposure to extraordinary stress levels related to ongoing disputes on systemd integration within the Debian and open source community that rendered regular maintenance virtually impossible.
In December 2014, a fork of Debian, called Devuan, was announced by a group calling themselves the "Veteran Unix Admins". Its intention is to provide a Debian variant without systemd installed by default.[83]

Telford, PA (PRWEB) August 11, 2014
Today Draeger announced that it will bring its Live Fire Training Roadshow to locations across the United States, beginning with a training event in Minneapolis August 15-16. Available to both professional and volunteer firefighters, this live fire experience is essential for departments that might not otherwise have access to such in-depth training due to budget constraints and lack of available courses in their local area. Draeger is providing the training free of charge.
"Today's fires burn hotter and faster and are more deadly because building materials and internal furnishings have changed," says Les Boord, Fire Service and Federal Government Marketing Manager with Draeger Safety, Inc. "As a result, yesterday's techniques won't work anymore. Firefighters need to protect themselves better and gain knowledge of current fire hazards, such as the phenomenon called flashover. Draeger's live fire training provides a venue in a safe and controllable environment."
The objective of the Draeger Live Fire Training events is to provide hands-on preparation to build various firefighter skills using training systems and protective equipment manufactured by Draeger. The curriculum includes flashover training, which gives firefighters the opportunity to learn to recognize and observe the development of flashover, a phenomenon that is one of the leading causes of death for firefighters. In addition to learning flashover prevention and delay techniques, participants will learn how thermal balance and off-gassing can impact effective firefighting techniques, as well as effective ventilation and nozzle techniques.
Participants will also learn how to use the latest thermal imaging technology in training provided by SAFE-IR, INC., the most experienced group of thermal imaging instructors in the fire service. Today's thermal imaging cameras can help firefighters see into hard-to-reach places, search for down victims, and determine hotspots that could potentially erupt after a fire is extinguished.
Initial locations and times for the Draeger Live Fire Training events include:

German powerplant specialist MTU is increasing its participation in the Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan programme, by taking an 18% share of the PW1100G for the Airbus A320neo. Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will also take part in the programme.
MTU agreed to take a 15% share of the geared turbofan effort in 2008, when the powerplant was focused on the Bombardier CSeries and Mitsubishi Regional Jet. This share will also increase, to 17%.
Under a new agreement with P&W, MTU will have responsibility for part of the final powerplant assembly and testing process for the A320neo's version of the engine, which MTU identifies as the PW1100G-JM.
This would amount to a "new role" for MTU in a high-volume commercial engine programme, it added. "We are very proud to have succeeded in increasing our programme share and taking on a major role in engine assembly," said chief executive Egon Behle. "Our participation in the geared turbofan engine programmes will be a major driver of future growth for MTU."
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, part of the Japanese Aero Engines Corporation consortium, will take on responsibility for the combustors and diffuser cases, which represent about 2.3% of the development. The agreement will bring the Japanese consortium's share - which includes development of fans and low-pressure compressors - to 23%.
MTU is handling the low-pressure turbines and will co-operate with P&W on the high-pressure compressors, supplying the first four stages, as well as providing brush seals and manufacturing of nickel blisks, in addition to the new test work.
P&W will deal with the remaining part of the engine, notably the high-pressure turbines, as well as systems integration. IndiGo and Lufthansa, plus lessors International Lease Finance and CIT, have opted for the P&W engine on 270 A320neo-family jets.

Error 10610 - UPDATE
by, 20th April 2009 at 02:13 PM (971 Views)
Oh how I loathe this error...
Recently, I have been trying to upload my battle video against Dahlia. Sadly, every time I attempt the upload, this bright and happy little fellow appears on my doorstep. He doesn't come with with a present, not even a single flower. Just a lovely bit of annoying news...
The error itself says there is an issue with my DS. I find this to be unlikely, since I have tried to upload a video with a second DS (A DS Lite this time), and a different game, to the very same error filled result... So, why does this error keep knocking on my doorstep when I try to use the new Pt features of the Global Terminal, but keeps away when I use the GTS, or Mystery Gift?
I have heard that others have been plagued with Mr. 10610 and his boxes of annoying news, but everyone I know that has had this issue, still manages to get their Battle Videos uploaded. Is this a trial of Nintendo? Am I just to continue trying to upload this video, and keep getting visited by this stalker? Or, is this a case of time to replace my DS, and hope for the best?
...Okay now, seeing as I have let my frustrations out in a productive form... Anyone else getting slammed by this visitor when trying to use the Pt features of the Global Terminal? Anyone want to share their stories of Mr. 10610? Feel free to leave comments. ^_^
UPDATE: Seems since I got my Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, I haven't been seeing Mr. 10610. Hurray!

Mariners Notebook Silva's Post-Game Rant Rankles Riggleman
If Carlos Silva intended to draw a response with his postgame rant to reporters Friday night, he did. With manager Jim Riggleman.
One day after Silva called out unnamed position players for not playing their best, Riggleman voiced his displeasure with the rotund right-hander.
"He shouldn't have said it to the writers," Riggleman said. "He should have said it to me, he should have said it to the teammate he's directing it at. I'm going to talk to him and a couple other guys. He said the starting pitchers are focused but some other people aren't. That's ridiculous."
Silva's record fell to 4-13 in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Rays and afterward he criticized teammates — he wouldn't name anyone — for playing selfishly.
"I don't care if we are 40 games behind, we should play better than this," he said. "I can talk about the starting rotation. Every time we cross the line we want to do our best no matter how many games we are behind.
"Maybe half of the team doesn't have that mentality. Their only thing is to finish strong (individually) and put up numbers. That's great, but that affects us, you know. As a team, that doesn't workout. You never want to be in this position, especially for us as pitchers."
Riggleman said Silva's complaints didn't make sense to him.
"I'm very disappointed," Riggleman said. "When I hear somebody say something about selfish play, I challenge anyone to go in there and look at the tape of every game from March 31 to the present time and show me an example of somebody being selfish. I'll stand corrected if somebody points it out, but if you say someone is selfish you've got to show me something specific."
Riggleman said the insinuation that the Mariners are selfish and don't do the little things that are important to an offense isn't true.
"We do the little things," he said. "It's the big things. We're not hitting good enough and we're not pitching good enough. If somebody wants to hide behind, 'Oh, we made a baserunning mistake,' or 'We didn't move the runner over,' or use the word 'selfish,' you can try to act like that's the problem right there. That will make up those 30 games.
"But you've got to hit better and pitch better."
Another Step for Bedard
Ailing starting pitcher Erik Bedard threw off flat ground Saturday afternoon, making 60 throws of about 80 feet. He will throw again today in what now is a two-days-on, one-day-off program.
"It was a definite improvement from the last couple of times he's throw," pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre said. "He's feeling good. He's just playing catch, but it's at least something."
Bedard has been on the disabled list since July 5 because of tightness in his left sholder.
The Morrow Plan
Stottlemyre said Brandon Morrow, now playing for Class AAA Tacoma to be converted into a starting pitcher, will throw about 50 pitches when he starts Monday.
"We hope to jump 15 pitches each time until he gets around 85 to 100," Stottlemyre said.
Barring any setbacks, that would have Morrow ready to start for the Mariners close to the end of August at the earliest.

Will Cambridgeshire schools be ready to deliver Nick Clegg's free school meals for all infants in September?
Posted: August 19, 2014|
Schools in Cambridgeshire are "ahead of the game" when it comes to being ready to provide free school meals for all infants, the county council says.
Every pupil aged 7 and under will get a free school lunch after Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg extended the FSM programme beyond just those with parents on benefits or low incomes.
Councils and school across the country are racing to complete kitchen and dining hall upgrades – and are having to divert cash from other services – to cater for the increase in the number of children eating school meals.
A spokesman for Cambridgeshire County Council, however, said its schools will be ready for the implementation of universal FSM for infants next month.
He said: "We have worked very hard with our schools over the past 10 months to understand their equipment and operational needs in preparation for September.
"All equipment installation and minor refurbishments are taking place over the summer holidays. Individual schools and academies will have to meet any additional costs."
He added: "Cambridgeshire's school kitchens are ahead of the game in having sufficient facilities already in place. As a result, the money provided by the Government has been spent on additional equipment to meet the increased volume, rather than on new kitchens – as has happened in other local authority areas."
The Local Government Association has released research showing that councils and schools have been forced to divert money from other budgets to deliver the free school meal changes.
It says Central Government cash to cover the cost has been inadequate despite promises made.
Cllr David Simmonds, chairman of the LGA's children and young people board, said: "This research makes it clear Central Government has not provided schools with enough money to do the essential work necessary to give 1.5 million children a free meal at lunchtime. It is councils and schools who are picking up the bill for this work, at a time when budgets are already squeezed and tough decisions are being taken."
The Department for Education said it believes "all schools are on track to deliver free school meals in September".

Recent San Diego County reviews
"We could not have been happier with our stay! This VRBO has everything for a perfect vacation: beautiful house, great location, and responsive owners. The charming house is handsomely decorated with spacious rooms and more than every convenience and need of home. It lives up to the photos, and more. We ate all of our breakfasts and had cocktail hours in the secluded back yard. It is quiet, relaxing, and nicely landscaped. We really enjoyed walking around the lovely residential neighborhood with its great history. It was also a short walk to Balboa Park and several shops and restaurants. Within a mile are the fantastic eateries of Bankers Hill in one direction and lively shopping in Hillcrest in the other direction. The owners have an incredibly helpful binder filled with everything you need to know about the house, the neighborhood (restaurant suggestions and even a great walking tour) and San Diego as a whole. They were very responsive prior to our arrival and at our departure. We had no questions or problems while we stayed but I have no doubt that the owners would have been on top of anything ASAP. We couldn't recommend this rental more highly."Guest: John T Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 7, 2015View listing
"This cottage was everything we wanted and more! The location was perfect - literally 15 steps from the beach and just a few minute walk to a food market, breakfast/coffee place, Belmont Park and amazing restaurants. The cottage was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The Fridge had an ice marker and filter water dispenser so we could refill our water bottles. The bathroom was nicely stocked with lots of towels, soap and toilet paper. The shower pressure was amazing too! We had no problem getting our Kio Soul into the garage! We enjoyed biking the boardwalk, relaxing on the beach, bogie boarding, eating at the wave house and cannonballs. We will definitely be back!!"Guest: Stephanie Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 20, 2015View listing
"We rented this home for our family to celebrate our daughter's graduation from PLNU. This is a great house because the 3 master suites are huge with their own bathroom. The house is well stocked with everything you need. It was immaculate. We love the pool and hot tub and Henk was very accommodating to our group needs. The only downside of this house is there are lots of stairs (if mobility is an issue for you) and the parking is a bit challenging on busy Rosecrans. Otherwise, it's a beautiful home, well maintained, clean, comfortable, roomy, and furnished well. Thank you Henk for a wonderful stay!"Guest: Lisa H.

San Diego County Travel Tips
The coastal community of San Diego is the second-largest city in California. Originally, the area was inhabited by the San Dieguito and La Jolla Native American tribes before it was established as the first European settlement by Spain during the mid-1500s. The city has experienced substantial growth since its founding, and has changed hands between Mexico and the U.S. throughout its extensive history.
Located approximately 120 miles south of Los Angeles, this shoreline community rests along the the U.S.-Mexico border in southern California. San Diego experiences a warm climate throughout the majority of the year, with most of the annual precipitation falling between December and March. Winter weather is mild, and temperatures rarely drop down to the freezing point. Visitors should pack light, with a few pairs of shorts, sunglasses and a bottle of sunscreen, and possibly a light jacket or sweater for twilight chills or day trips near the Pacific.
Oceanfront Activities
With its close proximity to the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean, the city of San Diego boasts a wealth of waterfront activities and tourist attractions. The subtropical climate presents comfortable conditions for visitors interested in spending a day or two enjoying outdoor excursions and the natural beauty of the area.
- SeaWorld San Diego is an adventure theme park that features a wide selection of thrill rides, animal encounters and engaging performances. Get your adrenaline pumping on the steep drops and arching curves on the double-launch Manta roller coaster, or enjoy an interaction with dolphins and other creatures of the deep that call this park home. Acrobatic aquatic performances feature the talents of numerous marine-dwelling mammals, who launch themselves high into the air and engage in death-defying stunts that will surely take your breath away.
- The beaches of San Diego stretch out on 70 miles of pristine coastline and offer guests the opportunity to lay out over white sands and soak up some California sunshine. Join locals in a game of sand volleyball at Mission Beach or compete in the sand castle competition at Imperial Beach in the south bay. Ocean Beach is nestled between the San Diego River and the rolling hills of Point Loma, and often presents prime conditions for surfing, swimming and other waterfront frivolity.
Artistic and Cultural Attractions
An array of meticulously curated museums are dispersed throughout the city of San Diego. These cultural establishments provide guests with a vast collection of cultural relics, fine artwork and notable exhibits that will broaden your perception of the area's unique history.
- The Museum of Photographic Arts presents an excellent collection of images that illustrate the complexity and evolution of this modern art form. More than 7,000 photographs, films and videos are housed throughout the galleries, which demonstrate historic imagery, aesthetic movements and technological advancements in the field.
- San Diego's Museum of Art features the work of European masters, contemporary artisans and visionaries of the Far East. The collection includes work from the Italian Renaissance and the Impressionist movement. It offers guests the opportunity to gaze upon centuries-old ceramics, metalwork and paintings from prominent dynasties in China, Korea and other Asian cultures. A feast for the eyes awaits any art connoisseur who ventures into the many galleries of this enlightening museum.
- The San Diego Air and Space Museum is a truly intriguing establishment that boasts a variety of early aviation vehicles as well as some modern-day engineering masterpieces. Discover the history of man's fascination with flight, and gaze upon relics that carried early adventure seekers to their first ascent into the clouds. Take in the craftsmanship and awesome engineering prowess that built fighter jets and other military aircraft, or explore a new frontier at exhibits that house space-age technologies.
Downtown San Diego
Amid the cluster and congestion of this metropolitan community is a wonderful selection of exquisite dining establishments and nightlife opportunities. After dark, the city takes on a whole new persona filled with wild and enjoyable experiences that are sure to delight travelers who fancy a nocturnal adventure.
- The Gaslamp Quarter features 16 walkable city blocks packed with rooftop bars, bumping nightclubs, chic jazz clubs and happening restaurants. The Tipsy Crow is San Diego's longest standing bar, tracing its roots back to 1874. The three-level setup is manned by an experienced and friendly staff, and presents guests with a classic atmosphere, craft beers and quality cocktails. Fluxx nightclub is filled with a full spectrum of sensory pleasures. This trendy nightspot is constantly changing themes, and is filled with colorful lights and bumping sound that will keep the party going well into the night and early morning.

Findings for PPC in Boulder
Boulder Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Boulder was the 68th least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of April 2015. Boulder also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in Colorado, ranking as number 4th. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Manchester ranked as the least expensive city.
Month over Month Google Adwords Prices for Boulder Rise in April 2015
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting Boulder keywords increased by 10% in April 2015.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 25% Higher in Boulder than Westminster
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Boulder are 25% higher than in Westminster. The average price of a click in Boulder is $15.22.
This price differential is somewhat surprising however, as Westminster has a larger population than Boulder.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another city with a similar population, Broken Arrow, and found the average price of a click in Boulder was 167% higher than in Broken Arrow.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.
