Busy Boy and Busy D. have been at camp for 3 weeks, they come home Saturday!
Busy Girl's enjoyed being an only child (when she's home) and we've gotten a few things done around the house, but nowhere near the volume of grand plans we thought we'd execute while they were gone.
I was ready to go all Clean Sweep on a few of the rooms around here, but while we've got the "empty the room" part down, we have to work on our follow through.
We redecorated Busy D.'s room so he'll be surprised when he gets home.
His room is tee-tiny, it's actually a dormer (old house fun!) so we do what we can. It's not so bad when they're little and don't notice, but when you're 10, you notice Harry Potter under the stairs may have had a bigger space than you do.
The newly redecorated room looks pretty good until you remember there's no closet (the nursery armoire had been in there), and we have no idea what we're going to do with items you typically put in a closet.
I try very hard to not let my, "We don't have a baaaaybeees anymore" gene get out of control, but something about cleaning out that room was sad.
It has been a nursery to all 3 kids, and I remember sitting in there before she was born, looking at the baby gifts, and marveling how this baby had "stuff" already. That made it all seem so real.
Now, Busy Girl is off to college in about 3 weeks, how did this happen?
While I don't subscribe to the school of thought that says a college freshman is, "on her own" quite yet, it's still kind of wild to think about.
By the way, if I birthed you, you're not, "on your own", until you don't have to call me for bail money in the middle of the night.
So, I simply refer to college (In my head. Mostly.) as, "school camp", and that makes it all better.
If I indulge in the "mah baaaaaybeee" line of thought, I begin to ruminate and wonder, "Did I enjoy them enough as babies?" "Did/Are they having a good childhood?', "I feel like I hardly remember anything!", and we all know how THAT can snowball.
Instead of falling down the rabbit hole of angst-ridden and emotionally overwrought recall, I'm just going to work on enjoying today with them and not letting our new routine with Busy Girl (school camp!) overshadow the boys.
So, first on the enjoy-the-moment agenda is making sure Busy D.'s future autobiography isn't titled, "I Grew Up Without a Closet".

just ok
These are true to size or a bit big. I wear a 4-6 in trousers, small in most bottoms and the xsmall of these fit fine at the waist. They have no compression but the wool is smooth, and they sort of flare a little below the knee. They are ok, but I wanted something for hot yoga and don't like the flare - it is more dramatic on me than the model.

Anyone who's visited Zahav in Philadelphia knows that Mike Solomonov's hummus is incredible. The only downside of eating dinner there is that it's hard not to fill up on it, so it makes perfect sense that Solomonov and the CookNSolo have finally opened an Israeli hummusiya on Sansom Street. Dizengoff, named after a street in Tel Aviv, serves four different hummus plates — with tehina, corn, matbucha (roasted tomato salad), or lamb — plus fluffy, housemade pita, two salads, lemonade, and beer. It's arguably even worth the hour or so Amtrak ride from New York to 30th Street Station — especially because while you're there, you can pick up dessert at Solomonov's Federal Donuts.

Bethlehem Police believe they've identified the suspect of a bank robbery in Slingerlands that took place on Wednesday and are asking the public for help in finding him.
According to officials, 45-year-old Victor Shear walked into the Trustco Bank on New Scotland Road, displayed a handgun and demanded money.
Shear's location is unknown at this time. Police consider him armed and dangerous and caution that he should not be approached.
Anyone who may know where Shear is should call Bethlehem Police Detectives at (518) 439-9973. If anyone sees Shear, do not approach him, but call 911 instead.

I bought a nice antique headboard and foot-board, ca. 1840, but there were no rails. The pieces I bought had notches cut in them with brass plates of a certain shape. Although I couldn't get brass fasteners anywhere, the ones I got at Paxton Hardware are exactly the right size, inexpensive compared to other outlets, and delivery was prompt. The steel pieces are not visible, anyway, so it isn't important that they are not brass.

Good on-line dimensions for comparison. Good pictures. Ultra fast processing and delivery.
Incredible Find!
Jun 18, 2014 | By Philip G Petrini
I recently obtained two sets of head and foot boards (in incredible condition) from a family member that date back to the mid to late 1800's. The side boards fell apart after a termite infestation, and my wife and I wanted to make new ones to use the beds for our two children. After searching tirelessly online for hardware that matched the original, I came across these.. Let me tell you, they worked PERFECTLY! The beds are now used by our children and are so strong! They don't make hardware for beds like this anymore, or so I thought. Paxton Hardware does, and it saved us hundreds of dollars we otherwise would've spent having them done by an antique restoration company or buying beds like these somewhere new. I couldn't be happier with the results, they're strong, durable and well made. I recommend anyone who wants to restore antique beds to their original condition to use this product, you won't be disappointed!!!

At Greg Richardson Music Studios we offer instruction on the following instruments:
Guitar, Piano, Voice, Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass Guitar, Flute, Saxophone, Trumpet, Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon, Tuba, Drums Ukulele
Cognitive/Intellectual Benefits"Studies have shown that musicians achieve a higher GPA than non-musicians in the same school do."
When a musician plays music, they use 90% of the brain.
Regular music instruction in the early to middle grades may have a positive transfer effect to the development of language skills.
Students with course work or experience in music performance scored 51 points higher on the verbal portion of the SAT and 44 points higher on the math portion, than students with no course work or experience in the arts.
Singing, chanting and rhythmic play can increase your child's vocabulary.
90% of CEO's and congressmen interviewed said that playing a musical instrument as a child helped them develop "character and leadership skills".
New York schools show that 90% of their students who participate in music go on to college.
In the 1997 Gallup Survey, 69% of people believe that music participation corresponds to better grades and scores.
In a recent study, 66% of music majors who apply to medical school are accepted,
and only 44% of biochemistry majors are accepted.
Findings indicate that music study uniquely enhances higher brain functions
required for reading, mathematics, chess, science, and engineering.
Students involved in quality choral programs develop communication skills, self-confidence, self-discipline, teamwork, self-expression, and appreciation of cultural diversity.
Music creates security in one's self.
If your child can sing in front of other people, you're talking about a pretty secure little individual.
Emotional/Spiritual Benefits"Music washes away from the soul, the dust of everyday life.
Music relaxes and calms the spirit.
Children can be calmed down by listening to music each night before they sleep.
Music has been shown to decrease heart rate, breathing, and lower stress hormones.
Stress has been proven to obstruct learning, and by listening to 10 minutes of classical music children can clear their minds and prepare for productive learning and studying.
Mozart helps children with ADD and ADHD improve and control their mood.
Music requires coordination of the fingers, hands, arms, lips, cheeks, and facial muscles, in addition to body and mind responses to sound.
Music helps motor development and coordination.
Music helps pattern the movement of the body.
Research shows that music can relieve stress, lower blood pressure, and help relieve pain.
Music programs have been pulled out of many of our schools in this country as unnecessary spending of our tax dollars, and replaced by highly competitive sports. America spends 29 times more dollars than any other nation on education, yet ranks 14 th out of 17 countries in academic excellence.
Our Instructors
All of our instructors are fingerprinted and background checked with the Orange County Sherriff's Department (LIVESCAN). I have also studied and been certified with the my son's local Cub Scout Troop. We also make every effort to insure the safety of your child at the studio.
These are things that are important to me and to you as a parent should be as well. I consider children our most precious commodity and their safety should never be taken for granted. I always employ the open door policy and prefer parents to present if possible in the lobby of the lesson studio.
The studio is conveniently located in Laguna Niguel on Cape Drive just off Crown Valley and Forbes.
I find this location to be centralized and easily accessible to most any part of South Crange County.
I am located directly adjacent to the 5 freeway and Crown Valley Parkway in the New Life Christian Building.
In my lessons I try to combine the best elements of my playing experience into a comprehensive quick start to effective guitar playing. I believe music to be an extremely positive creative outlet and I also believe it to have huge life changing benefits. All of our instructors are experienced, versatile and
Music stimulates the brain, the emotions, and the body simultaneously. Auditory impulses structure the way we learn to communicate, move and express ourselves and for that reason music is essential for the maturing mind of children. It is my effort and duty as a teacher to enlighten and inspire not only children but parents to keep music at the forefront. Music will not only enhance intellect but will instill self confidence, reduce stress and give the child a general sense of well being. This is especially noticeable in children that suffer with conditions such as dyslexia or ADHD where challenges are constantly in front of them.?
Greg Richardson the owner of Greg Richardson Studios and a supporter of all styles of music such as Rock, Country, R&B, Blues, Motown, Bluegrass and Metal, he is passionate about teaching children how creating music can be more than a pastime but an electrifying journey to being the very best they can be. With a versatile menu and network of talented teachers Greg Richardson Studios offers everything from guitar lessons (acoustic, base and electric) in a variety of styles and techniques to music technology and production.
After briefly studying Classical Guitar at Jefferson Community College in Louisville Kentucky Greg moved to California to become a real musician. Well at least that's where the real working musicians were. In other words, the guys that actually made money playing their instruments and idid it in a never ending variety of situations. In Greg's words, "It was truly amazing for me how much the bar was raised professionally when I began to play music with guys that were, serious, sober, experienced, punctual, practiced and above all versatile". We have learned that these are traits that apply not only to the music world but also to the real world.
In the performance arena Greg has played everything from Classic Rock to Funk, and Country to Blues, Motown, Reggae, Bluegrass, Progressive, Punk, Metal, Pop, Power Pop, New Wave, Speed Metal, Hard Rock and everything else in between. He has been a working member of many local church worship teams at several local orange county churches and has also taught after school classes at Top of The World, El Morro and Canyon Vista and Don Juan Avila Elementary Schools.

FRIDAY, Aug. 15, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- The magnitude of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa may be far greater than the current statistics indicate, officials from the World Health Organization said Friday.
Patients are flooding treatment centers that have just been opened, and the recorded case and death tolls may "vastly underestimate the magnitude of the outbreak," said WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl, the Associated Press reported.
For example, an 80-bed treatment center that recently opened in Liberia's capital filled up immediately, Hartl noted, and dozens of people lined up the next day to be treated for Ebola.
The latest WHO figures peg the death toll at 1,069, with nearly 2,000 confirmed cases. At this point, Ebola cases have been reported in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.
In a bit of good news, no new cases have been detected in Nigeria following the deaths of three people in the past month, according to the latest update from WHO.
Experts from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have helped Nigerian health officials with monitoring efforts in that country, and that has kept the number of additional cases down, WHO said.
The CDC is also providing computer software and hardware to the countries hit hardest by Ebola, so officials there can track and analyze the outbreak's spread in real time, WHO added.
And food is being delivered to the more than 1 million people who are now in quarantine zones by the World Food Programme. These zones are mostly located where the borders of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone intersect.

I like Palm OS but 3.5" screen is the new standard for cellphones, iPhone makes everything look old and unbig. Not interested a third OS (WinMob) since I bought a MBP while I am waiting for 2nd gen iPhone hardware. I am not the one to say Game over... but all cellphone designers all need to act like iPhone was not an unrepeatable Alien concept.
Everything Old is New at RIM - Wait-a-Thon
Pop quiz, hotshot:
You're the top dog in smart phones with "push" email technology so killer people have likened it to crack. But last year a new kid showed up with a glitzy multi-touch interface and media to die for, and sucked all the buzz out of your room. What do you do? What. Do. You. Do?
If you answered, out innovate them, come up with next year's "it" device, you're correct. You're also clearly (and unfortunately) not the brain-trust at RIM.
We've already talked about Apple licensing Microsoft's ActiveSync, looking to eat into RIM's Blackberry business dominance. We've even made fun of the new old-look Blackberry 9000 (yep, that's the new BB pictures above. What, you thought it was the Meizu?). But this cuts deeper into the industry.
For years Palm pushed out tepid evolutionary designs. RIM, while having copied a little Palm look-and-feel at times, has made tentative flirtations, for good or for ill, with innovation in devices like the Pearl. For the most part, however, everyone has been content to regurgitate and duplicate. Everyone but the iPhone.
When Steve Jobs pulled the iPhone from his pocket at Macworld 2007 it was unlike anything we'd seen in smart phones before, but also instantly Apple. It was a revolution.
Palm needs to do this so badly the company hinges on it.
RIM does as well. Sure, they're in great shape. They move tons of units to an enormous, addicted user base. They own the market. But they no longer lead it.
Copying Apple's design is superficial but it's a sign that RIM is following. They are going where Apple has been. They are surrendering mindshare and, in doing so, surrendering leadership of the market.
Sure, Apple competes with Apple. They cancelled the mega-popular iPod Mini only to release the super-mega-popular Nano. And they'll push themselves on smart phones all alone if they have to. But every industry needs competition.
WinMob 7 is still vaporware and is also targeting where the iPhone was. That's Microsoft's MO. Palm's Nova needed to be out 2 years ago, if not earlier. They've long ago lost the drive that made them the original innovator. That leaves RIM (and perhaps Nokia).
Hotshots, you need to do better.

Everything Old is New at RIM - Wait-a-Thon
I have never used a RIM product and it's not looking like this newest addition will sway me in any way to change that decision anytime soon.
The BB looks like a Razor keyboard on a smartphone, and I don't think that is going to work. If you are going to have a physical keyboard then you probably want buttons you can actually feel, if you are going to have buttons flush then you may as well use the space for a bigger screen utilizing the space better (then the keyboard is only there when needed).
GFONG, fess up, it as a 3.5" *cube* wasn't it?? :)
(The iPhone feels no larger in the hand than my Palms or a BB, and actually seems to disappear in the pocket -- I've panicked a couple times thinking I left it behind!)
wow, nice, look at that screen! and all those buttons! it has endless options and I bet it has a stylus. I can organize, access the internet, make phone calls. This is the greatest phone...wait, I have an iPhone...nevermind.
ya I just used a BB for the first time this weekend it was my dads he had just got it. So I went to crackberry.com to get some ideas on how to set it up. They have some pretty good beginner guides that was nice but still no way in h!! I would buy one. When I got the iPhone there was no need for any kind of how to because the entire thing was so nicely laid out and simple to use.
I was wondering- is there a reason businesses go with the blackberry rather than the iPhone now? I'd imagine the touch screen is so much easier to type with than the little keyboard, are any companies switching? Or is it too expensive?
QUERTY keyboards on phones are a good thing if the phone is being used for things such as email which is the BlackBerry's bread and butter and also the reason that BBs are chosen over iPhones in the business world.
I could never stand the keyboard on my Palm -- the only thing worse was the Blackberry's. My big, mushy fingers were forever messing up on those hard, rounded(?!) tic-tac keys, and when I sprained my wrist, it hurt too much to press the little @#%!ers.
So far, iPhone is much easier to type with for me, and because there's no pressure needed, I could use it even with a sprained wrist.
Businesses are driven by IT people who buy based on promised (not always delivered) features, budget, and how easily they believe they can manage/maintain things. iPhone is an end-user purposed device. IT could usually give a $#!t about end users.
ActiveSync, however, may help.
if all I need is email.... BB the way to go??
It's probably just me, but as much as I love new technology I don't want the latest gadgets shoved down my throat and to be brainwashed into thinking I absolutely NEED them to be cool and to "keep up with the Joneses". A simple, basic ANYTHING for me works.
i love the iphone!
Well, if you have to have a Blackberry (because that's all your bosses will give you), then that looks like quite a nice one to have. But for personal use, esp. if your main focus isn't typing emails, then the iPhone (last year's model at that) still beats this "new" phone hands down.
Can't wait to see iPhone gen 2!
This is the greatest phone…wait

LAKE OHRID, Macedonia, Oct. 8, 2008 Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates today called on southeastern European nations to consider helping the military training effort in Afghanistan.
Here for a regional defense ministers conference, Gates also met today with Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski and Defense Minister Zoran Konjanovski to discuss the nation's NATO aspirations, Macedonia's role in peacekeeping operations and bilateral cooperation.
Gates thanked the Macedonians for hosting the conference and thanked all the nations who have deployed forces to Iraq and Afghanistan.
"As the situation in Iraq continues to improve, I urge you to consider sending your military forces to Afghanistan, where there is an urgent need for trainers as they expand their army," Gates said during a news conference after the meeting. "Your assistance will not only help Afghanistan better protect and care for its citizens, but will also reinforce your important role in ensuring peace and stability around the globe."
Macedonia has 135 troops in Afghanistan and 80 in Iraq. It also has participated in many NATO exercises, and is considering augmenting its presence in Afghanistan as its forces end their deployment to Iraq in December, U.S. Ambassador to Macedonia Philip T. Reeker said.
Through a translator at the news conference following his meeting with Gates, Konjanovski said Macedonia plans to continue contributing to security efforts outside its borders.
"We were praised for the participation of the army of the Republic of Macedonia in peace support operations and missions abroad," Konjanovski said, "which will continue in the future, and we are always ready to participate where our help is needed."
Attending his second regional defense ministers conference in southeastern Europe as U.S. secretary of defense, Gates promised continued support for the participating nations' aspirations.
"I would like reiterate America's commitment to helping integrate southern Europe into Euro-Atlantic institutions, such as the [European Union] and NATO," Gates said. "The United States strongly supports Macedonia's aspirations to become a full member of NATO."
Konjanovski thanked America and Gates for U.S. support for Macedonia's NATO membership. Greece, Macedonia's neighbor to the south, nixed Macedonia's NATO membership during the alliance's April summit meeting in Bucharest, Romania. Since Macedonia's breakaway from Yugoslavia in 1991, Greece has worried that Macedonia has territorial ambitions over a Greek province of the same name.
"We encourage Macedonia and Greece to find an immediate solution to the name issue, which is in the best interests of both parties and the region," Gates said.

Traveling on road in a fully customized overland vehicle with all the camping gears has so far just been associated with Africa, Europe and South America. Now for the first time there is a well established team based in India offering you authentic overland journeys on routes that have hardly been trodden by any overlander. There is a great deal of adventure involved in all our trips. Most of our trips are participatory in style and are a great fun. You make new mates and learn new things every day.
Our team specializes solely in India, operating overland expeditions and adventure safaris. Most of the crew members have years of experience working as a nature guide, naturalists and game rangers in India and Africa. When traveling with us you have a great advantage of dealing directly with an Indian operator with well established network and support all over the country. We have our base and a maintenance workshop just outside the Pench tiger reserve in Central India. Our vehicle is maintained on a regular basis by the authorized professionals at the regional TATA service station.
The routes and itineraries that we follow were developed after the feedback from our crew who have years of experience traveling this vast country. The whole chapter of Prayaan India Overland began when Anand (one of the founders of Prayaan) was working in Africa as a game ranger. His guests in Africa regularly used to ask about overlanding possibilities in India. At that stage there was no one operating a commercial overland company in India. He returned back from Africa and started putting things together for the first overland team which was based in India. Deepti (the other founder of Prayaan and an avid naturalist) also brought in a lot of experience to the team.
Be it the best time to track a tiger, follow the elephant's migration routes, the arrival of the migratory birds, trekking the Himalayas, surviving the Thar Desert or the festivals, we know it all. Our team will be happy to answer all your questions, plan your trip and make all the arrangements to show you India. Airport transfers, pre and post safari accommodations can all be arranged. For the jungle safaris to ensure that our groups get the best of the zones and everything is on schedule, we book them well in advance so you can stay assured that all will be in order. Our crew has experienced all this before and we know what is needed and can help with your queries and concerns.
Our prices are very affordable. You don't have to worry about paying extra for jungle safaris, river rafting, temple or fort entrances, treks and walks. They are all included in the price. Even three meals a day are included without having to worry about daily kitty or local payments. All you have to take care of are your personal expenses. By dealing directly with us you always get the best price and any agent's commission is not involved in it. We always strive to show you India in the best way possible and at a very affordable price.
Planning your next overland expedition? Log on to Google.com and type 'overland trips'. What do you get? A screen full of African and European overland travel companies! There is no doubt that Africa, Europe and South America are all great overland destinations. They have a lot of both offbeat and popular destinations and some great companies to travel with. Now that you have explored Africa, South America and Europe as overland destinations, have you thought about India? It is much like a continent in itself. From the game rich national parks like Africa, the hot steaming rainforests like South America and the old colonial charm reminding you of Europe, India offers a taste of everything. There is the Himalayas with its endless peaks and mountains which are much more beautiful, picturesque and much more difficult to conquer than the Kilimanjaro, the Andes or the Swiss Alps. There are the Deserts of Rajasthan and Gujarat which is much more colourful than the Sahara and with a biodiversity so rich that it supports the lions, wolves, wild asses, leopards, numerous tribes and a lot more. The broad leaved forest of Central India looks very similar to the European forests but is much richer with game. On addition to all this, there is the celebrated Indian culture, different languages, mouth watering cuisines, a multitude of festivals which offer an overland traveler a complete platter.
Now for the first time in India, we have taken the initiative of exploring the possible overland circuits and starting the first India based overland company named Prayaan India Overland. There are destinations which have never before explored, tribes that have never been met before and the roads less travelled which are all awaiting you. Come and join us on one of our expeditions as we explore and discover more of India.

Workflow Tip – Fast cards & Fast readers
Here's something that might be of interest, and will help speed up some parts of your workflow.
Get a faster memory card, and the means to get the images onto your PC as quick as possible.
I recently ordered a couple of 600x Duracell 8Gb Compact flash cards from 7DayShop.com….
They give a read speed of 90MB/sec. and are only £20.99 for 8Gigs. That's great value.
Now USB 2.0 can't go that fast, it can only manage about 45MB/sec if you're lucky.
But USB 3.0 is getting much more popular, so you could get yourself a USB 3.0 card reader.
This one is about €19 from the UK.
USB 3.0 is rated at 5gbps, or in megabytes about 500MB/sec, More than enough for the fastest CF/SD card, so should be able to max out the 600x Compact Flash card.
If your PC doesnt have a USB 3.0 connection, you can always add one using a USB 3.0 PCIe adapter (about €20).
Or, for a laptop (about €20).
The Pretec card reader comes with a pretty short stubby adapter, so if you want to have the card reader on your desk, you'll also need a cable (about €5).
So, you'll have the added advantage that your camera will be able to keep going longer for those rapid-fire shots (by writing to the card faster), and you'll also get your images off your card and onto your PC MUCH quicker, giving you more time to process, etc.
The following is a benchmark of the above setup.
As you can see, this card is really tuned to work with a block size of 64K or greater. The write speeds max out at is 30MB/sec, but the read speed jumps dramatically to 90MB/sec once the block size hits 64K.

Infiniband at Home (10Gb networking on the cheap)
Would you like to have over 700MB/sec throughput between your PCs at home for under €110? That's like a full CD's worth of data every second! If you do, then read on….
Since this article was originally written, I've found the real-world throughput of infiniband from a windows machine and an ubuntu machine gives me a max of 135MB/sec, just under twice my 1gbps ethernet (75MB.sec). Thats with a raid array capable of 350MB/sec on the linux side, feeding a samba link to the windows machine at 95% CPU. So, it falls a lot short of the desired 700MB/sec that I thought may be possible. It's not possible with IP over Infininband. And iSER isnt available on windows, so no SRP targets could be used, which uses RDMA. So a whole lotta research leading to block walls and 135MB/sec max.
—end edit—
With the increasing amout of data that I have to manage on my computers at home, I started looking into a faster way of moving data around the place. I started with a RAID array in my PC, which gives me read-write speeds of 250MB/sec. Not being happy with that, I looked a creating a bigger external array, with more disks, for faster throughput. I happened to have a decent linux box sitting there doing very little. It had a relatively recent motherboard , and 8 SATA connectors. But no matter how fast I got the drives in that linux box to go, I'd always be limited by the throughput of the 1Gb ethernet network between the machines, so I researched several different ways of inter-PC communication that might break the 1gbps barrier. The 1GB ethernet was giving me about 75MB/sec throughput.
The first I looked at was USB 3.0 (5 gbit/s). While that's very good for external hard drives, there didnt seem to be a decent solution out there for allowing multiple drives to be added together to increase throughput. We are now starting to see raid boxes appear with USB3.0 interfaces, but they are still quite expensive. To connect my existing linux box to my windows desktop, I'd need a card with a USB 3.0 slave port so that the external array would look like one big drive, and max out the 5Gbps bandwidth of a USB 3.0 link . However, these do not seem to exist, so I moved onto the next option.
Then I moved on to 10G Ethernet (10 gbit/s). One look at the prices here and I immediately ruled it out. Several hundred Euro for a single adapter.
Fibre channel (2-8 gbit/s). Again the pricing was prohibitive, especially for the higher throughput cards. Even the 2Gbps cards were expensive, and would not give me much of a boost over 1Gbps ethernet.
Then came Infiniband (10-40 gbit/s). I came across this while looking through the List of Device Bit Rates page on Wikipedia. I had heard of it as an interconnect in cluster environments and high-end data-centres. I also assumed that the price would be prohibitive. A 10G adapter would theoretically give up to a Gigabyte per second throughput between the machines. However, I wasn't ruling it out until I had a look on eBay at a few prices. To my surprise, there was a whole host of adapters available ranging from several hundred dollars down to about fifty dollars. $50? for a 10Gig adapter? Surely this couldn't be right. I looked again, and I spotted some dual port Mellanox MHEA28-XTC cards at $35.99. This worked out at about €27 per adapter, plus €25 shipping. Incredible, if I could get it to work. I'd also read that it is possible to use a standard infiniband cable to directly connect two machines together without a switch, saving me about €700 in switch costs. If I wanted to bring another machine into the Infiniband fabric, though, I'd have to bear that cost. For the moment, two machines directly connected was all I needed.
With a bit more research, I found that drivers for the card were available for Windows 7 and Linux from OpenFabrics.org, so I ordered 2 cards from the U.S. and a cable from Hong Kong.
About 10 days later the adapters arrived. I installed one adapter in the Windows 7 machine. Windows initially failed to find a driver, so I then went on the OpenFabrics.org website and downloaded OFED_2-3_win7_x64.zip. After installation I had two new network connections available in windows (the adapter was dual-port), ready for me to connect to the other machine.
Next I moved onto the Linux box. I won't even start with the hassle I had to install the card in my linux box. After days of research, driver installation, kernel re-compilation, driver re-compilation, etc. etc., etc., etc., I eventually tried swapping the slot that I had the card plugged into. Low and below, the f&*cking thing worked. So, my mother board has two PCI-Ex16 slots, and the infiniband adapter would work in one, but not in the other. Who would have thought. All I had to do then was assign an IP address to it. –EDIT– here's a quick HOWTO on getting the fabric up on Ubuntu 10.10. About 10 minutes should get it working – http://davidhunt.ie/wp/?p=375 –EDIT–
Without a cable (it still had not arrived from Hong Kong), all I could do was sit there and wait until it arrived to test the setup. Would the machines be able to feed the cards fast enough to get a decent throughput? On some forums I'd seen throughput tests of 700MB/sec. Would I get anywhere close to that with a 3GHz dual core athlon to a 3GHz i7 950?
A few days later, the cable arrived. I connected the cable into each machine, and could immediately send pings between the machines. I'd previously assigned static IP addresses to the infiniband ports on each machine. I wasn't able to run "netperf", as it didn't see the cards as something it could put traffic through. So I upgraded the firmware on the cards, which several forums said would improve throughput and compatibility. Iwas then able to run netperf, with the following results:
root@raid:~# netperf -H 10.4.12.1 TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.4.12.1 (10.4.12.1) port 0 AF_INET : demo
Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 10.00 7239.95
That's over 7 gigabits/sec, or over 700MB/sec throughput between the two machines!
So, I now have an Infiniband Fabric working at home, with over 7 gigabit throughput between PCs. The stuff of high-end datacentres in my back room. The main thing is that you don't need a switch, so a PC to PC 10-gigabit link CAN be achieved for under €110! Here's the breakdown:
2 x Mellanox MHEA28-XTC infiniband HCA's @ $34.99 + shippping = $113 (€85)
1 x 3m Molex SFF-8470 infiniband cable incl shipping = $29 (€22)
Total: $142 (€107)
The next step is to set up a raid array with several drives and stripe them so they all work in parallel, and maybe build it in such a way if one or two drives fail, it will still be recoverable (raid 5/6). More to come on that soon.

USB 3.0 is the Future
From reading this blog, you might get the idea that I'm obsessed with disk speeds as of late (on the cheap, I might add). Well, you're not wrong there. And to add to my obsession, I got my hands on a USB 3.0 PCIExpress card and a SATA-USB 3.0 atapter today. After installing the drivers for the card, I then attached a SATA hard drive to the adapter, and plugged it into the PC. Up it came no problem, so the first thing I did was to run ATTO Disk benchmark tool against the drive. Here are the results:
Sustained 80-85MB/sec read/write. It sure beats the hell out of USB2.0, at about 25-30MB/sec. I don't have a decent drive available to test it faster, but theoreticaly USB3.0 is good to >400MB/sec.
Next purchase will probably be a USB3.0 Compact Flash reader, but they're very thin on the ground. Oh, and some good and fast Compact Flash cards to go along with it.
I got a new motherboard, which has USB 3.0 built in, and this week Aldi were doing a special on USB 3.0 1TB drives for €79.99. I got one, and the following is the ATTO benchmark results:

Smart Water
Welcome to the Smart Water Report.
The Smart Water report provides an in-depth comparison on the efficiency of urban water use by over a dozen cities in the arid southwest. It describes how unchecked growth in urban water use threatens nearby river systems, such as Colorado's Gunnison Basin, and New Mexico's Middle Rio Grande. The report also summarizes current state-of-the-art practices in conserving water and in using existing water supplies more efficiently, highlighting areas where there is room for improvement.
Smart Water makes it clear there are many tools, not fully tapped, that can dramatically improve urban water management. One avenue is to reduce urban demand for water by planting drought-resistant lawns and installing drip irrigation systems. Upgrading toilets and appliances with water-saving devices offers additional savings. Such conservation measures alone could make up for a water shortfall projected for the Denver metropolitan area by 2045. It appears that one of the clearest paths to improved efficiency is through water rate structures that make use expensive for water wasters while offering discounts to low water users. Water conservation would also be fostered through incentives such as rebate programs. Select the chapter you wish to view by clicking on the link below.

Recycling awards go to 4
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources announced the winners of its statewide recycling grants earlier this week.
Combined, the grant money should generate more than 240 jobs and $22.9 million in new business investments, along with a reduction in landfill disposal dependence, according to a statement from the state.
The grants were awarded to 43 companies, including four from Union County. Recipients were required to provide a minimum cash match of 50 percent of the grant award. The funding for the grants came form a percentage of the taxes on solid waste disposal, new white goods and other sources.
Boggs Paving of Monroe, Carolina Shingle Recycling LLC of Indian Trail, Union County Habitat for Humanity of Monroe and God Bless the USA of Indian trail received the grants.
Union County Habitat for Humanity received $21,500 from the state. The organization is matching with $13,500 and they will add one new employee. They are using the grant money for a 20-foot box body truck and trailer in order to help transport additional construction and demolition materials.
"We're expanding our work in Anson County, so we're expanding our recycling program as well," Executive Director Mike Reece said. "Last year we (recycled) 200 tons of material, 200 tons of recyclable material that we pulled out of the...street."
The materials included cardboard, aluminum, milk jugs, steel, copper and other materials.
"We're hoping that we can increase our tonnage by another 50 tons," Reece said.
The nonprofit is also looking to hire a recycle, repair and rehab coordinator in July, when the grant money goes into effect.
"This gentleman will coordinate our recycling program, but he will also be responsible for home repairs and some rehabs as well."
One example of where the truck will be handy was a call Reece received earlier. He has a house that is about 30 years old and is scheduled for demolition. He called for a group of volunteers to come in and remove everything. Reece said the group will remove the cabinets, doors appliances and will go to the stud walls to remove piping and wiring.
"Whatever we can reuse or recycle will come out of that house," Reece said. Some will go to recycling and some will go to the Re-Store.
This is their second time receiving this grant, though this year's grant is larger.
Boggs Paving, Inc. was awarded $30,000 and will match $60,000. The grant should create seven jobs. They will use the money to purchase a horizontal grinder to increase the capacity and divert more asphaly shingles to their recycling operation.
Carolina Shingling Recycling, LLC was awarded $30,000 and will match $50,000. The grant should create three jobs. They will use the money to purchase and build a metal building to protect raw shingles and other finished products from the elements.
God Bless the USA was awarded $40,000 and will match another $40,000. Their grant is not anticipated to create jobs. The funding will be used to purchase 95-gallon recycling carts to transition their customers from 16-gallon recycling bins to the 95-gallon carts.
"We are pleased to make these awards," John Skvarla, secretary of N.C. Department of Environment and Natural resources, said in a statement. "This program supports Governor McCrory's efforts to accelerate business investment and private job sector growth in North Carolina."

Full of the grateful peace
That follows her release;
For nothing but the weary dust lies dead.
Oh, noble woman! never more a queen

Today we focused our learning on growing ourselves to become better leaders in WAGGGS. We started by re-acquainting ourselves with the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The activities we had were varied, and were definitely not boring. These activities challenged us to be creative, but it also made us think deeply about issues relevant to our own organizations. We were eager to share with our fellow participants, the efforts we had made (and are currently making), in our countries, to help achieve the MDGs.
In the afternoon, we had very interesting discussions on community leadership and advocacy. We were not only amazed by the work that the Movement has done in this area, we were blown away by the fact that the people here with us are people who have actually made things happen. We drank in every piece of information and the new knowledge we have shared and learnt today, and colored our learning mandalas along the way.

In the evening, it was time to unwind as we celebrated the International Night. We learned each other's dances and songs, acted out popular sports in various countries, and had a taste of different food! We capped the night with the circle of friendship which sealed forever, this strong sisterhood we have forged with each other.
|"We found it very interesting to see, that even though we are coming from so many different cultures and environments, we have so many things in common, so we can form partnerships between Member Organizations and we can share so many things." Juliana, Kenya

Robertson: "The Collapse" through my eyes
A lot of us old-timers are being asked today about The Collapse of 20 years ago in Buffalo and, truth to tell, we'd really rather forget it. But here's my best/worst memory. When Bubba McDowell's 58-yard interception return for a touchdown put the Oilers ahead by the now-infamous score of 35-3 with less than two […] [Read More]

Jesus claimed to be the Son of God and the only way to God. And he wasn't being arrogant about it. But did he actually give proof that he was God? How did he back up his claim to deity?
Jesus' disciples were having a little difficulty understanding just who their Master was and what he was really up to. So he made this statement: "Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of what you have seen me do" ( John 14:11). Here Jesus was appealing to both his authoritative teaching on the kingdom of God and his many miracles in order to substantiate and verify he was in fact God in human form. In regard to miracles, he was in effect saying, "You are finding it hard to believe that I am God in the flesh—well, look how I as creator of all things have complete command of the forces of the universe—the weather, the human body, gravity, life, and death."
Listen to these words: "I have a greater witness than John," Jesus said, "my teachings and my miracles. The Father gave me these works to accomplish, and they prove that he sent me" ( John 5:36). "The miracles I do in my Father's name speak for me" ( John 10:25 niv). Jesus' miracles became credible proof that he was who he claimed to be. So let's look at a few miracles he performed.
But first, what actually is a miracle? It can be defined as a religiously significant intervention of God in the system of natural causes. Some people contend that miracles cannot occur because it is impossible to violate the laws of nature. But those who make this contention assume that nothing exists outside of nature. They believe we live in a closed system.
However, if God exists as the Creator of the universe, then he exists outside of the laws of nature he created. He can thus step into his creation and intervene as he wills. And he has. He entered the sphere of humanity by taking on human form in the person of Jesus. And to give us evidence he was God, Jesus performed miracles.
Here are examples of his miracle-working power from the New Testament, which documents that he was able to:

A treat for John Bonham fans
June 21st, 1977 is generally considered by Led Zeppelin fanatics and bootleg collectors as one of Led Zeppelin's all time best live performances. 1977 is generally known among LZ heavyweights as a very bland year. The band was just plain terrible [compared to earlier years, but no one knew that back then I would imagine]. John Paul Jones was the steady man, like always. Bonzo had his decent nights, but nothing compared to 1973 and before. Jimmy Page was a Heroin junkie, and Robert Plant basically just lost his voice. Now and again, the band would just....click, for lack of a better word. This night, in particular, is an absolute monster. Jimmy Page owns the Los Angelas Forum, Robert Plant sounds like 1972, and most, if not all LZ fans will declare this night Bonzo's greatest performance. What can I say about JPJ? He's the man.
Here is the opening number for direct download:
The Song Remains the Same
Bonzo absolutely destroys this song into the ground. He comes out full blast, swinging for the fences. It's probably his single greatest live performance. It's like he was transformed back to 1968, when he had endless energy, and morphed into 1973, adding on the thunderous power. Too bad it was for only one night.

The Independent | News Events Culture | St George Zion Utah Mesquite NV
News & Events of St George, Southern Utah & Mesquite Nevada | Color Country's Guide to Arts, Music, Entertainment & Culture since 1996
Is a regular shuttle connecting St. George and Hurricane to Springdale and Zion National Park in the cards for Washington County? Last week, officials from Springdale, St. George, and Zion National Park gathered at the Five County Association of Government's Regional Mobility Council meeting to discuss the possibility of establishing daily public transit service to Springdale and Zion.
The plan for creating a permanent shuttle connection to the Zion area is not a new one. In 2010, the Five County Association commissioned a transit study, in part, to assess the demand for and feasibility of such a service. The study demonstrated that there was a significant demand for the service, citing not only tourists to Zion National Park, but also a sizable disabled population in Washington County as well as a large segment of the service industry workforce in the Zion area that commute each day from Hurricane because they cannot afford to live in Springdale.
Jaime Stewart, an advocate for the disabled in Washington County who has been pushing for public transit to Zion for years, talked about the difficulties that transit-dependent disabled people face just trying to accomplish simple day-to-day tasks. Making it to doctor's appointments and keeping the pantry and refrigerator stocked can be difficult when you rely upon the kindness of others for transportation. But what often is not discussed, Stewart said, are quality of life issues.
"Does a transit-dependent population need a quality of life?" she asked. Stewart said that being out in nature "can be a means of reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of the geography of hope," quoting naturalist Wallace Stegner. "But not for me," she continued, "who cannot drive the 44 miles from my home to the gateway of my geography of hope."
Zion National Park has seen a significant increase in the number of disabled visitors since they established their own shuttle system in 1997, said Jack Burns, chief of concessions management for the park, who also oversees the park's transit services.
"Since implementation of the transportation system, we've seen a 127% increase in wheelchair lifts alone," Burns said. "That tells us that people come to Zion and Springdale expecting a park-and-ride experience, and that they use the facilities once they are provided." Burns pointed out that there are more than 63 million disabled people in the U.S., and that the National Parks Service spends millions of dollars each year to help make the parks accessible to everybody.
"It should not be a challenge for people with disabilities to come to the park," Burns said. "These places belong to all of us."

Besides helping the disabled access the park, the meeting also addressed how a fixed-route shuttle connecting St. George, Hurricane, and Springdale could make a big difference for the hundreds of service industry workers that work in Springdale but, because of the high cost of living there, commute each day from places like Hurricane, LaVerkin, and Toquerville.
"Springdale and Zion National Park provide a lot of the jobs for residents in the eastern part of Washington County," said Tom Dansie, community director for the town of Springdale. "And there is no real option for them to get to work except for private vehicles, and that's a significant transportation cost for them to get to work."
Having a fixed shuttle to Springdale would not only provide a transportation alternative for those workers, Dansie said, but it would also help disabled people living Springdale and Rockville access needed services in St. George, as well as provide the thousands of international visitors to the area with an easy way to move between St. George and Zion.
"It's kind of baffling to many of our international travelers that there is no public transportation option," Dansie said. Tourists from outside of the U.S., especially Europe, he said, expect a public transportation option and are often disappointed to find there isn't one.
Currently, there isn't even a commercial service hosting a regular shuttle to Zion, said Levi Roberts, an associate planner with the Five County Association; even if there were, he said, it wouldn't address many of the problems discussed at the meeting, such as the needs of the disabled and service industry workers.
The 2010 transit study commissioned by the Five County Association to look into the feasibility of a shuttle service revealed what Dansie described as "extraordinary demand" for a regular, fixed public transit route to Springdale. It also modeled several different ways of meeting that demand, along with cost and benefit projections for each option, based on comparisons to similar programs at Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks.
The study determined that a fixed daily route, providing all-day service, would serve the most people, but it would also cost the most to operate per year. While a seasonal route would be much cheaper to operate, it would serve far fewer people and would not provide a good solution for residents needing year-round service. The study recommended a combination of the two solutions, providing fewer routes and fewer stops during the off-season months.
Several funding opportunities were discussed at the meeting. The 2010 transit study identified three federal grant programs that the shuttle system might take advantage of, which could offset some of the capital and operating expenses. However, because the proposed shuttle would be providing access to Zion National Park, it would likely qualify for additional federal grant money, more than a typical county transit line.
Paul Van Dam, a former Utah State Attorney General who is currently running for a seat on the Washington County Commission, also attended the meeting. Van Dam said that because tourism to the park benefits the entire state, it makes sense to have the Utah State Legislature pitch in on the shuttle project.
"Interestingly, when the government got shut down [last September], the State of Utah was able to find a pocket full of money to keep the [national] parks open in Utah," Van Dam said. "It's a big moneymaker for the state, so […] in addition to the other federal grants that are available, we might get the legislature or one of our local representatives out here to look at the studies that have been done."
Roberts suggested that the county might look at partnering with local businesses. A survey held at an April 22 open house in Springdale to discuss the proposed shuttle revealed that one of the most popular reasons Springdale residents would like to have a shuttle is to be able to access Walmart, 25 miles away in Hurricane. The panel discussed the possibility of partnering with Walmart, which would stand to benefit from a shuttle that would provide them access to a wider customer base in Washington County.
As a next step, the group resolved to organize a meeting between representatives from all of the communities along the proposed shuttle route, along with state representatives, to further discuss possible ways a shuttle route to Zion might best be established. A date for that meeting has not yet been set, but Roberts said that he is planning to organize a series of discussions with various community leaders in the coming weeks.

My question is that as a developer of apps for the PortableApps.com website am I within your license to redistribute it AIs a portable application. I have made no physical changes to your program All I have done is create launchers to make sure that the program meets the format specs of PortableApps and handling a few instances of it leaving traces on the host computers.
Apparently I willnot be hosting my project, I have not distributed it but there are some legal questions as to the code and the way the project was modified from GPL to Ms-PL many thanks and apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused. I have dropped it from PortableApps development and pulled my links.

Kim Kardashian Changes Outfits Mid-Meal While Dining With Kanye West in Rome (PHOTOS)
Fashion is apparently on Kim Kardashian's mind all the time, even while on vacation!
The reality starlet was whisked away to Rome for her birthday by boyfriend Kanye West, and the two enjoyed an intimate dinner at Il Bolognese on Thursday night.
But things took a surprising turn when Kim left the restaurant in a completely different outfit from the one she arrived in, giving the other dinner guests a private fashion show.
"Mid-dinner [Kim and Kanye's] driver came into the restaurant with a huge carrier bag and dress carrier," the restaurant's owner told People. "[Kim] went into the bathroom and changed...When she came in, she was wearing a long black dress with long sleeves and a huge [slit] up the leg with knee-high boots but then she left wearing a green outfit."
The "green outfit" was an emerald green Lanvin peplum dress, which Kim paired with Tom Ford stilettos.
We guess she just couldn't wait until tomorrow to debut the gorgeous frock!

COLUMBIA CITY — Of the 117 Whitley County School buses inspected by Indiana State Police Trooper Brian Bills, all are ready to go for the upcoming school year.
Bills, of Whitley County, has been conducting bus inspections 17 years (two years full-time) and said all three of Whitley County's school corporations did quite well.
"I would put my kids on any one of those buses any day," Bills said.
"All three of Whitley County's schools do a great job taking care of their buses."
Whitley County Consolidated Schools had a 90 percent approval rating of its 59 buses — exceeding the state average.
"John Workman really worked hard to prepare the buses," Bills said of WCCS' summer bus cleaning supervisor. "He was a bus driver himself, and that makes a difference."
Bills also praised the work of Whitko Community Schools and Smith-Green Community Schools.

Photoshop CC One-on-One is back, and this installment teaches you how to build on your basic knowledge and achieve next-level effects with this premiere image-editing program. Industry pro Deke McClelland shows you how to seamlessly move and patch areas of a photo with the Content-Aware toolset; stretch the brightness of a scene with automatic and custom Levels adjustments; create intricate designs with text and shapes; and morph an image with layer effects and transformations. Deke also shares his techniques for sharpening details, whether addressing noise and highlight/shadow clipping or camera shake, and converting a full-color image to black and white. The final chapters show you how to best print and save images for the web, making sure all your hard work pays off in the final output.
In this movie, I'll show you how to create a bleed, which allows you to trim your image so it fills up the entire piece of paper on which it's printed. Now, as you may recall, my printer doesn't allow me to print all the way to the edge of the page. I go up to the File menu and chose the print command, then I can see that non imageable area represented as a series of diagonal lines. However, I can still trim the paper away so only the image remains. I would start by turning off all these Printing Mark checkboxes except for the first one, Corner Crop Marks.
And then I would print the image, and either use a paper cutter or a ruler and an X-Acto knife to cut along these trim lines. Problem is I don't have any room for error. So chances are very good that I'm either going to cut away some image that I don't want to lose or I'm going to leave behind a little sliver of page white. Neither of those options are really acceptable. Which is why we're better off creating some wiggle room in the form of a bleed. So let me show you how that works. I'll click the Done button to close the print dialogue box. Then notice here down at the bottom of the stack, this layer called Original Image, it is an independent layer that's actually a little bigger than the canvas size.
So I'll press Ctrl+minus, or Cmd+minus on a Mac, to zoom out, so that I can see the entire image. And then I'll go out to the Image menu and Choose the Canvas size command. Now the best way to work when you're adding a bleed is to turn on the Relative check box so you're working from the existing size of the image. One of the standard bleed sizes in the States is one pica, where a pica is equal to one sixth of an inch. So I'll switch my unit of measure to Picas. And then I'll go ahead and change both the width and height values to two. Because I want to Pica all the way around.
In other words, the width of 2 Picas gives me a Pica on the left and a Pica on the right. A height of 2 Picas gives me a Pica at top and a Pica at the bottom. Now I'll go ahead and click OK and you'll see the image expand in the background. Now do I identify that area as a bleed. We go on to the File menu, and choose the Print command. And then you want to expand this section right there. Functions, and you'll see a Bleed button, go ahead and click on it. Unfortunately the Bleed dialogue box includes just three units of measure, inches, millimeters, and points.
A point is 1 12th of an inch, so in other words 12 points fit inside of a pica. And so that's what I'm going to enter in this case. Is a width of 12 points and that'll give me a pica of lead all the way around. And what I want you to do is watch the trim marks on the corners of the image. As soon as I click OK, they go ahead and shift inward. And now when I cut along the trim lines there's no chance that I'm going to leave a little bit of white paper behind. So, now that I've established my bleed, I'll go ahead and click on the Done button in order to update the image.
I want to show you one more thing. I've gone ahead and created an extra layer inside this image called printing marks. I'll turn it on. And it shows you what all the printing marks look like. The problem is that the canvas size is too tight for us to see the printing marks So we need to reveal the entirety of this image by going up to the image menu, and choosing the reveal all command. And that'll essentially uncrop the image so that we can see everything that this layer has to offer. And you'll notice there are trim marks, and sure enough, there scooted a pica into the image. There's the label at the top of the image, and notice that it does indeed convey all the information in the title tab.
Even down to the Zoom ratio. And then finally, down here in the bottom left corner we see the description. All right, just so we can see things better, I'll press Shift+F in order to switch to the full screen mode and I'll zoom in a little bit. And that's how you work with printing marks, including trim marks, which allow you to identify a bleed here inside Photoshop.

Of the fish I tried, I particularly liked the mackerel, the salmon and the eel. Some of their cooked fish, like the black cod, are supposed to be good, but I haven't tried anything besides sashimi and sushi.
