Subtle differences – tracking down CPU version performance5 Comments
When unusual activity occurs in a cluster of servers, the first job is to eliminate any variables so you can rule out small configuration differences. Often this will be small software version differences but with the use of modern config management tools like Puppet or Chef, this is becoming less and less likely.
So when that doesn't reveal anything unusual, the next step is to look at the hardware. Here lies a classic example of taking care of spotting the details, and understanding what is out of the ordinary when it comes to your infrastructure.
The process
We have weekly reviews of several performance indicators across our infrastructure. This doesn't replace automated monitoring and alerting on those indicators, however it allows us to spot small performance decreases over time so that we can investigate issues within the infrastructure, schedule in time for performance improvements to our codebase and plan for upgrades.
Since we use Server Density to monitor Server Density that becomes very easy – it usually takes only a couple of minutes by glancing at some preset time interval on our performance dashboards.
This is the last 3 months of data on one of those dashboards:
The odd performance values
Some time ago, soon after an upgrade on one of our clusters, it started to show this load profile:
This is a 4 server queue processing cluster run on Softlayer with dedicated hardware (SuperMicro, Xeon 1270 Quadcores, 8GB RAM). All the software stack is built from the same source using Puppet and our deploy process ensures all of the cluster nodes run exactly the same versions.
Why was one of the servers showing lower load for the exact same work? We couldn't justify any difference so we went and asked Softlayer support:
There are no discernible differences between the servers
was the first answer we got.
The plot thickens
Not being happy with having servers that should behave the same and not doing so, we looked further into the matter and found yet another, this time more worrying, issue – packet loss on the 3 servers that showed the higher load:
So we went back to Softlayer support. They were quite diligent and "looked at the switch/s for these servers, network speed, connections Established & Waiting, apache/python/tornado process etc…" but in the end came back empty except for a subtle difference on the cluster hardware: "all of the processors are Xeon 1270 Quadcores, -web4 is running V3 and is the newest; -web2 and -web3 is running V2; -web1 is running V1".
When we order new servers, we pick the CPU type but it doesn't offer the granularity of the CPU versions. The data center team deliver what they have ready.
The fix
After some research, we discovered that there were some potentially interesting differences between the CPU versions and so we decided to eliminate the hardware difference and see what would happen.
Softlayer usually accommodates special requests and we had no difficulty in getting this through.
The next graph show the replacement of -web1 and then -web2 and -web3. Can you see when it was done?
Then a similar plot for the cluster packet loss:
Switching all the servers to a consistent CPU and CPU version solved the problem. The packet loss disappeared and the performance equalised. This is a great example of a very subtle difference having some measurable impact on the operation of the server. Using config management allowed us to quickly eliminate a software cause, at least one that we could control. It's possible that the CPU version had some issue with the hardware drivers, but it illustrates how consistency within a cluster is important.

Licked by a flame too soon, in sleep.
Boot up for steel, iron hand defeats you.
Tried out, but wind-blown, in sleep.
And is this not my own?
This indecision sparks a vision of depature from this stagnation.
Watch it flow. We are not above this.
Purely carnal, we don't think to think.
And would you? For me, too?
This Penitentiary is bleeding.
And would you?

- Product Details
Now Foods CLA Extreme appears to have a number of other benefits for our bodily systems.New research has identified a fatty acid that may positively influence body composition. Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), found mainly in meat and dairy products, used to be abundant in our diets. But with the trend to lower fat diets, our CLA intake also is declining. It is an irony that so many Americans seem to be getting fatter, even as we eat less fatty foods. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin may have found an explanation for this paradox. Their studies suggest CLA may be an important nutrient for optimal body composition, possibly helping to reduce body fat and increase muscle. Aware consumers are unlikely to go back to the unhealthy, meat-laden diets of the past. But today CLA is available from pure sunflower oil.
CLA is a term referring to a group of derivatives of the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid. CLA, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, is found naturally in certain foods, especially meat and dairy products. CLA has been known for more than 18 years, but studies of its relationship to body composition are more recent. Studies now suggest that CLA may positively influence our bodies' efficiency in using food, and have a beneficial effect on the balance between fat and muscle in our bodies. Clinical trials are now underway to explore the mechanism by which CLA works, and to determine whether the results of these laboratory and animal tests are also applicable to humans.
Now Foods CLA appears to have a number of other benefits for our bodily systems. In fact, the University of Wisconsin researchers first discovered CLA's role in influencing body composition as a result of research they were carrying out on CLA's other properties. Among other important functions, CLA may be beneficial for our cardiovascular system due to its role in helping maintain normal cholesterol levels.
CLA is no longer abundant in most diets because Americans are eating less beef and full-fat dairy products. This translates to lower levels of CLA in our diets. CLA content is also much lower than it used to be in beef. Researchers believe this may be related to changes in the way cattle are fed. The green grass eaten by grazing cows is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids including linoleic acid. Cows have a unique digestive system that converts linoleic acid to CLA - a close chemical relative of linoleic acid. The CLA is then stored in the cows' tissues. It is possible that, since cattle today are predominantly fed oats, barley and hay rather than grazing on grass, they are no longer producing as much CLA.
Now Foods CLA Extreme combines the benefits that active people are seeking with the proven effectiveness of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA).

How to get yourself laid - a 10 step guide
Ok boys so this is kinda a semi rant, but seriously, if you guys out there would follow these seemingly obvious pieces of advice, you'd help yourself a lot. It amazes me to no to end how moronic guys are when trying to score with women. I'm putting these tips out there for the greater good...so we don't have to put up with you, and you have a better chance. Good luck...
First off, realize that when we meet you, you fall into one of two categories. 1) We'll NEVER have sex, or 2) MAYBE we'll have sex. Realize, maybe is not YES. At any point if you screw up with one of the following, you get thrown right from maybe to NO. The only time you are safely in the "yes" bag is well...basically when you are already doing it.
1) Dont mention our body parts to us, especially in the first conversation. I'm fascinated when guys blurt out "you have big tits" to me...um...what am I supposed to say to that?? If you want to compliment a girl, keep it general, you know "you look pretty" etc. The only time you should comment on specific parts is if we're naked. And p.s., no girl EVER wants to hear that any part of us is "Huge". Even if you think sayign "huge tits" or "huge ass" is a compliment, we hear it the same as "huge nose" or "Huge thighs". its just bad - don't.
2) Stop hitting on us. There is a difference between a guy trying to talk to you, and a guy "hitting" on you. Don't use these cheesy lines or say something lame. Be genuine - a "hi" and a smile gets you further than most anything else. You may still get rejected, but at least we will think youa re nice and be gentle. Trust me , we LAUGH AT YOU when you approach us trying to be "smooth."
3)Pick up on the girl's signals. Sometimes I'll be hanging out with a few girlfriends getting a drink and some guy will just come up to our table and try to talk to us, totally interrupting. We'll be so aprehensive and standoffish, shooting each other looks etc. and the guy will stand there forever. If a girl (or espeically group of girls) does not seem warm and receptive, for god sakes, leave them alone. You're just making an ass out of youself. Pretty much in general approaching a group of girls is just a bad idea, you've got your work cut out for you
Ok lets say you are lucky enough to get the girl to make out with you. Now is a whole nother region of ways you can fuck it up. Just because we want to kiss you does nto mean automatically we want to FUCK You. Honestly, its way different. That being said...
4.Be a good kisser (that is a HUGE dealbreaker right there).
5. Don't move to fast. You know what is FUCKING HOT!? When a guy DOESNT try to get in your pants right away. Seriously, try it. If you try to bust out the condom or what not the first time we make out, i'll think you're sleazy and wonder how many other times you do that. If we hook up a couple times without you even trying to unbutton my pants, by the third time i'll be tearing at yours. Girls will kick up the sex kitten factor if they think they have a challange. Now of course make sure she knows you are interested etc, but playing a little coy in the bedroom will get you so much further, as long as you have patience. If you can't stand the thought of three dates with the girl, then well maybe you shouldn't be sleepign with her anyways.
5. Speaking of busting out, why on earth do you feel the need to pull it out randomally? Haha the funny thing is, of guys who have done this to me while makign out, most have a rather unimpressive member. You pulling it out does not mean im gonna touch it. It just makes me think you are pretty sad, and then i'll probably have a funny story for my friends. Let us take control in this area. If we're fumbling with your buttons or rubbing your area then yah, we want it. Otherwise play to the cautious side and keep him in your boxers.
6. Groom ! I always wonder about guys i've hooked up with who seems to do pretty well with the ladies and are totally all hairy down there. You like us to be trimmed and clean right? Well we like it too...You don't have to be all shaved and bald down there, but at least trim it back nicely. It makes you more fun to go down on...and you like that right?
ON a side note, have any of you seen the Fred Durst sex video? WTF? This guy is a huge rock star, can't he afford to wax his belly and get a personal trainer? GROSS!!
7. Make some noise. I can't stand it when a guy is dead silent - even as he is cumming. Seriously, it sucks having no feedback. Moan, say something - anything! Its so much hotter when a guy is really responsive.
8. Be generous. NOthing lamer than a selfish guy in bed. I remember a guy telling me about how he slept with close to 60 women, but only went down on one girl, ONCE. But totally expects the girl to give head all the time. Grow up...if you don't like a girl's pussy, maybe you are better off in the "men seeking men" section.
9. Use the phone. Ok so i get it, guys dont always call a lot, maybe they're not too into it etc. THats fine. But if you SAY you are going to call/hang out, then do it. Flaking is a turn off. Don't make plans if you don't want to keep it. But that pretty much goes for life in general
10. Finally...Just pretend you're not the dog you are. Look, we're not dumb, if we're dressed super sexy we know why youare talking to us. We know you are probably checking out our ass/tits/belly whatever. But just attempt to look like you're not and you care what we say. yes its an illusion, but just humor us. Oh also, if you're standing around dont BLATANTLY check out other girls. I've seen guys do this from across teh way. What if I thought you were cute? If i see you bending your neck over some girl's ass, I'll think you are a dork, and then I won't approach you. YOu never know who is watching....
OK. Hope this helps...so I realize that this isnt for all girls. There are plenty out there with low self-esteem, daddy "issues", people who need attention etc who will hook up with guys even if they do ALL of the bad things. But do you want a girl who is all vulernable and pathetic? Haha probably...but in case you feel like shagging a quality one, go with the advice above. Also, clearly this goes for the first time you are trying to get a girl in bed. IF she's your GF and you're having probs...who knows. Try the grooming thing.

Selebi costs yet to be determinedComment on this story
Cape Town - The process to determine how much fraud-convicted former police chief Jackie Selebi owed the taxpayer in legal bills was at an "advanced" stage, national police commissioner Riah Phiyega said on Monday.
Phiyega was responding to a statement by the Freedom Front Plus during the police budget vote in Parliament.
The party's Pieter Groenewald said it would be submitting a complaint to the Public Protector regarding Selebi's outstanding debt.
Phiyega said the determination of how much Selebi owed the state is a complex one.
"First, we had to determine the... total costs of that entire action of which a more in depth assessment needed to be made because the principle there is that if you win your case, costs are defrayed and most of you are aware that its been a mixed bag.
"There are areas where there's been winning. There's areas where there's been losses, so that process took some time," Phiyega said.
"Once that is done, you then need to allow the lawyers of the person in question... to respond to what is represented before them."
The matter would then be referred to Phiyega for a decision.
"I can say to you that matter is very advanced. We shall in the near future make that decision."
Selebi was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2010 for taking bribes from drug dealer Glen Agliotti.
He was released on medical parole in 2012 after he was diagnosed with kidney failure, hypertension and diabetes.

Commercial Resupply Services
Commercial Resupply Services (CRS[1]) are contracts awarded by NASA for delivery of cargo and supplies to the International Space Station (ISS) on commercially operated spacecraft. The first CRS contracts were signed in 2008 and awarded $1.6 billion to SpaceX for 12 cargo transport missions and $1.9 billion to Orbital Sciences for 8 missions, covering deliveries to 2016. In 2015, NASA extended the contract by ordering another three resupply flights from SpaceX and one from Orbital Sciences.[2] The second round of contracts, CRS2, will cover deliveries from 2017 until 2024 and are expected to be awarded in 2015.[3]
SpaceX began flying resupply missions in 2012, using Dragon cargo spacecraft launched on Falcon 9 rockets from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Cape Canaveral, Florida.[4] Orbital Sciences began deliveries in 2013 using Cygnus spacecraft launched on the Antares rocket from Launch Pad 0B at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS), Wallops Island, Virginia.[5]
US public laws dating back to 1984 and 1990 have directed NASA to pursue commercial options for launching spaceflight missions, whenever such commercial offerings are available. By the 2000s, other more specific Congressional authorizations began to fund explicit development of commercial options for NASA, first for cargo services, and later for ISS crew transport services as well.
The selection of the firms resupplying the space station was publicly discussed by NASA on December 22, 2008. NASA announced the awarding of contracts to both Orbital Sciences Corporation and SpaceX in a press conference on December 23, 2008.[6] PlanetSpace submitted a protest to the Government Accountability Office after receiving a NASA briefing on the outcome of the award.[7] On April 22, 2009 GAO publicly released its decision to deny the protest.[8]
SpaceX launched their first Falcon 9 rocket and a mock-up Dragon capsule successfully on June 4, 2010. Their first flight contracted by NASA, COTS Demo Flight 1, took place on December 8, 2010, demonstrating the Dragon capsule's multiple orbit capability, ability to receive and respond to ground commands, and ability to gain and maintain directional alignment with NASA's TDRSS narrow-band satellite communication system. On August 15, 2011, SpaceX announced NASA had combined the mission objectives of the COTS Demo Flight 2 and 3 missions into a single mission, with the COTS 3 validation tests beginning only if all of the COTS 2 objectives were successfully demonstrated first.[9][10]
The COTS Demo Flight 2+ mission successfully launched on May 22, 2012, delivered cargo to the ISS and on May 31, landed in the Pacific and was recovered.[11] On August 23, 2012, NASA announced that SpaceX had successfully completed its COTS Space Act Agreement and NASA certified SpaceX to begin their CRS contracted spaceflights.[12]
The launch vehicles and cargo carriers were developed using Space Act Agreements under NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program.[13]
NASA began a formal process to initiate Phase 2 of the Commercial Resupply Services, CRS2, in early 2014. Contracts are expected to be awarded for CRS2 in early 2015.[14][15]
Phase 1 Missions[edit]
Transport flights began under phase 1 of the Commercial Resupply Services contract, CRS 1, in 2012 and are planned to continue into 2015/2016.
Orbital Sciences[edit]
Orbital Sciences rolled out its Antares rocket to the launchpad at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport in October 2012 in preparation for an on-pad hot-fire test of the rocket in early November 2012. The rocket successfully made its initial launch with a test payload on April 21, 2013.[16]
Orbital Sciences' first COTS demonstration mission was successfully carried out on September 29, 2013., a week behind schedule due to a software malfunction;[17] this is a predecessor mission to the start of Orbital Commercial Resupply Services missions contracted by NASA to resupply the International Space Station.[18][19] CRS-1 and CRS-2 followed on.
Orbital Sciences' 3rd Resupply mission (CRS-3) from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on 28 October 2014 failed. First Antares launch to use Castor 30XL upperstage, delayed due to boat in launch safe zone. Second takeoff attempt suffered a catastrophic anomaly resulting in an explosion shortly after launch. Contents of the cargo included: Food and care packages for the crew, parts, experiments, and the Arkyd-3 Flight Test (Non-optical) Satellite from Planetary Resources. Shortly after lift-off from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport Pad 0A at 6:22 p.m. (EDT), the vehicle suffered a catastrophic failure. According to NASA's emergency operations officials, there were no casualties and property damage was limited to the south end of Wallops Island. The company decided to discontinue the Antares 100 series and accelerate the introduction of a new propulsion. The Antares 230 system will be upgraded with newly built RD-181 first-stage engines to provide greater payload performance and increased reliability.[20]
In the meantime, the company has contracted with United Launch Alliance for an Atlas V launch of Orb CRS-4 in late 2015 from Cape Canaveral, FL. That mission will also mark the debut of the bigger Enhanced Cygnus, which will be used for all following CRS contracted missions.[21] A second Cygnus on Atlas V launch is planned for 2016.[20] The company has planned Cygnus missions for the first (Orb CRS-5), second (Orb CRS-6) and fourth quarters (Orb CRS-7) of 2016. Two of which will fly on the new Antares 230 and one on the aforementioned second Atlas V. The switch to the more powerful Atlas V and Antares 230, along Enhanced Cygnus increased volume, will enable Orbital ATK to cover their initial CRS contracted payload obligation by Orb-7.[21][22]
During August, 2015, Orbital ATK disclosed that they had got an extension of the resupply program for three extra missions. Theses additional missions will enable NASA to cover the ISS resupply needs until the Commercial Resupply Services 2 contract enters in effect. The Orb-8E flight has tentatively been scheduled for June 12, 2017 and Orb-9E and Orb-10E flights currently have no public schedule but are expected between 2017 and 2018.[21]
The first CRS mission, SpaceX CRS-1, was scheduled for October 8, 2012 at 00:35 UTC from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Space Launch Complex 40 in Florida.[4] It was the first of 12 planned resupply missions. CRS-1 took off on October 8, 2012 at 03:03:52 AM GMT, achieved orbit, berthing and remained on station until October 28, 2012. Dragon then re-entered the earth's atmosphere and successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean.[23]
SpaceX CRS-2, the second CRS mission from SpaceX, was successfully launched on March 1, 2013.[24]
SpaceX CRS-3, SpaceX's third CRS mission, was scheduled for launch on March 30, 2014,[25] but was delayed due to a fire at one of the radar facilities on the Eastern Range. The launch completed successfully on April 18.
SpaceX CRS-4, SpaceX's fourth CRS mission, was scheduled for launch on September 20, 2014, but was delayed due to adverse weather conditions; the launch occurred on Sunday, September 21, 2014 at 1:52 a.m. EDT (0552 GMT) from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.[26]
SpaceX CRS-5, SpaceX's fifth CRS mission, was scheduled for launch on December 9, 2014, but was delayed over several dates in December due to manifest adjustments for items lost from the Cygnus CRS Orb-3 launch failure, technical issues found from a static fire test, the U.S. holiday season and staff scheduling, as well as a beta angle period during late December where thermal and operational constraints would make a Dragon berthing prohibited. The launch was rescheduled for January 6, 2015. At 1 minute 27 seconds to launch, the launch was scrubbed due to a thrust vector actuator problem with the second stage engine. The launch was rescheduled to Saturday, January 10, 2015, which completed successfully at 4:47 AM Central time.[27]
SpaceX CRS-6, SpaceX's sixth CRS mission, was successfully launched on April 14, 2015, at 20:10:41 UTC from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
SpaceX CRS-7, SpaceX's seventh CRS mission, was attempted on June 28, 2015 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The mission was unsuccessful, with an anomaly occurring during the ascent of the first stage, resulting in an explosion and a total loss of the vehicle.
Commercial Resupply Services 2[edit]
The Commercial Resupply Services 2 (CRS2) contract definition/solicitation period is currently underway as of early 2014.[15]
On February 21, 2014 NASA posted Request For Information (RFI) NNJ14ZBG007L about a possible follow on to the current Commercial Resupply Services (CRS1) to the International Space Station (ISS).[14]
An "Industry Day" set of meetings was held in Houston on April 10, 2014, where seven high-level requirements for the second Cargo Resupply Services contract solicitation were disclosed to parties who may be interested in contracting with the government to supply "nonscheduled chartered freight air transportation" resupply services to the ISS in the 2015–2024 time period.[15]
The anticipated contract will include "delivery of pressurized and unpressurized cargo, return and disposal of pressurized cargo, disposal of unpressurized cargo, and ground support services for the end-to-end resupply mission" and will include:[15]
- delivery of approximately 14,000 to 17,000 kg (31,000 to 37,000 lb) per year 55 to 70 m3 (1,900 to 2,500 cu ft) of pressurized cargo in four or five transport trips
- delivery of 24–30 powered lockers per year, requiring continuous power of up to 120 Watts at 28 Volts, with cooling and two-way communication services
- delivery of approximately 1,500 to 4,000 kg (3,300 to 8,800 lb) per year of unpressurized cargo, consisting of 3 to 8 items, each item requiring continuous power of up to 250 Watts at 28 Volts, with cooling and two-way communication services
- return/disposal of approximately 14,000 to 17,000 kg (31,000 to 37,000 lb) per year 55 to 70 m3 (1,900 to 2,500 cu ft) of pressurized cargo
- disposal of 1,500 to 4,000 kg (3,300 to 8,800 lb) per year of unpressurized cargo, consisting of 3 to 8 items
- various ground support services for the end-to-end ISS resupply mission
The draft Request For Proposal (RFP) was planned for release in May 2014 with a final RFP in June 2014.[15] Proposals were due in July 2014, and at least two contracts are expected to be awarded in June 2015.
Announced proposals[edit]
Five companies are known to have submitted proposals to NASA: SpaceX, Orbital ATK, Boeing, Sierra Nevada, and Lockheed Martin. Although the contract awards were originally anticipated by NASA in April 2015, they moved back to a June target date, and in April, delayed again to a contract award target date of September 2015.[28]
CRS1 contractors Orbital Sciences and SpaceX have submitted CRS2 proposals.[29] In addition, Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) and Boeing have submitted proposals. SNC's proposal would use a cargo version of its Dream Chaser crew vehicle, the Dream Chaser Cargo System, while Boeing's proposal would likewise use a cargo version of its CST-100 crew vehicle.[30][31] The proposed cargo Dream Chaser will feature an additional expendable cargo module for uplift and trash disposal. Downlift will only be provided via the Dream Chaser spaceplane itself.[29]
Lockheed Martin has proposed a cargo transport system called Jupiter, a spacecraft that is derived from designs of the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission and the Juno spacecraft. It would include a robotic arm, from MDA based on Shuttle Arm technology. The Lockheed proposal includes a new 4.4 m (14 ft)-diameter cargo transport module called Exoliner, based on the ESA Automated Transfer Vehicle, to be jointly developed with Thales Alenia Space.[31][32][33]

My computer was down but I still would cop a look at work once and a while and noted a general lack of Siu'ness.

4 years, 2 months ago by
John Wood Community College Trustees, meeting in regular session Wednesday, September 21, at the JWCC Pittsfield Education Center, approved a pay increase for staff, heard a report on the College's revamped organizational structure and received an enrollment update.
It has been the past practice of the Board to align pay increases for full-time staff with those called for in the JWCC Faculty Association IFT/AFT Local #6086 collective bargaining agreement. Trustees approved a three-year contract with the College's faculty association last month, which included a 3.25 percent increase for this year. The Board previously approved a 2 percent pay increase for full-time staff in April. Trustees approved an additional 1.25 percent retroactive pay increase for regular full-time and part-time staff this month to match the faculty contract.
"Over the past two years the College has reduced positions and cut non-essential services, programs and positions to operate as efficiently as possible," Tom Klincar, JWCC president said. "Our dedicated staff has accepted heavier workloads with fewer resources and Trustees want to provide fair compensation."
Stacey O'Brien, director of human resources, presented an overview of JWCC's organizational chart and standing committee structure to the Board.
Trustees received an enrollment update from John Letts, vice president for student services. Fall enrollment stands at 2,390, which is a 4.4 percent drop from last year. Credit hours are down by 5.2 percent to 24,264.The decrease is based on the College tightening dual-credit requirements and state cuts in displaced worker training funds.
The Board also voted to begin pursuing two green initiatives. Trustees agreed to sign the Illinois Campus Sustainability Contract and committed to meeting all deliverables, which would qualify JWCC to receive full funding from the Illinois Green Economy Network (IGEN). They also authorized the submission of a grant application to Constellation Energy to develop emerging energy technology courses.
Current JWCC infrastructure, personnel and programs meet many IGEN deliverables and the College continues to expand its sustainability efforts to become a resource for residents and businesses interested in sustainability and green economy.
In other business, the Board:
Moved to allow the College to proceed with a $200,000 capital project at the Workforce Development Center pending receipt of funds previously appropriated by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. Funding will help the College create two smart classrooms, storage rooms and a dedicated HVAC system to improve energy efficiency at the center.
Approved issuing a request for proposal for a guaranteed energy savings contract requiring qualified providers to offer innovative solutions for energy conservation measures.
Approved submission of grant applications to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for Earth Day Activities and to the Adams County Board for the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). The Board also accepted $11,330 in grant funds from the United Way of Adams County to assist with operational funding for RSVP.
Revised Board Policy 314 to increase the tuition reimbursement amount from $150 to $200 per credit hour for regular full-time and part-time staff. This change will align the staff benefit with the faculty benefit negotiated in the recent collective bargaining agreement.
Next Board meeting is scheduled for October 19, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. in Quincy.

Paralympic medallist David Weir granted Freedom of the City of London
14:40 03 December 2012
Paralympian David Weir was awarded Freedom of the City of London today to mark the launch of a new grants scheme for disabled aspiring sports stars.
The six-time gold medal winner, from Sutton, was at the Guildhall with aspiring young wheelchair athletes this morning to collect his honour in recognition of his excellent achievements during London 2012.
The City of London Corporation charity, the City Bridge Trust, has appealed for more organisations to apply for grants enabling disabled people to apply for grants.
City Bridge Trust chairman Billy Dove said: "As the UK cheered on athletes such as David Weir, thousands of disable people were inspired to get involved with their local sports club.
"Our new City Sporting Chance will provide organisations with the resources they need to widen access to sport for those who may not have had the opportunity to take part before."
Lord Mayor of the City of London, Roger Gifford, added: "This summer London was proud to be the backdrop for some of the greatest moments in sport, including David Weir powering his way to gold."

Judge to Lindsay Lohan: "You're Guilty of Extremely Poor Judgement"
Lindsay Lohan received some good news in court Thursday.
The actress, 24, was summoned to appear at the LAX Airport Courthouse after failing a sobriety test earlier this month. Arriving 15 minutes early, Lohan wore a striped Steve Alan button-up, Sass & Bide pants and Chanel heels, which she topped off with a Rosemark necklace and a Balenciaga bag.
VIDEO: How Lindsay's life took a dark turn
Judge Stephanie Sautner determined that while Lohan did test positive for alcohol, she did not violate her probation, as Judge Elden Fox only required drug and alcohol testing between January 3 - February 25, 2011.
"If you are guilty of some violation of your probation, I don't see it," Sautner told her. "What you are guilty of is extremely poor judgement."
PHOTOS: Lindsay's biggest OMG moments
Sautner also informed the Mean Girls star that she is not allowed to host any more parties during the remainder of her house arrest; she can only invite one guest over at a time.
PHOTOS: Lindsay through the years
"Don't give people a reason to hate you and don't do things that fly in the face of court's order," Sautner warned Lohan. "Do you want to get on with your life?"
"Yes, I do," the actress responded. "I do."
As Lohan left court, her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley told Us Weekly, "She has done nothing wrong. I feel like you are disappointed by that, but she did everything right this time. Let's give her credit."

Panelists talked about sending the first humans to Mars by 2030, and the challenges presented not only by the science involved, but also a changing NASA budget. The panelists said that NASA could not send a human to Mars with its current government funding and would need to look to the private sector in order to make advances.

corked glass bottles of spices, infused oils and vinegars beckon from antique cupboards like jewels.
We corked what was left of the wines, and headed back out into the heat, a little wiser about the whole what-goes-with-what thing.
I should like to know who it was who corked whiskers on my dear aunt's picture!
He looked like a huge, overgrown schoolboy with a corked moustache.
The guides called it bouchee, "corked," and leaped out gayly into the water with their axes to "uncork" it.
The neck of the bottle was not corked up: a way to the interior was now open.
If the bottle be filled with fluid to the top and corked it is very difficult to shake up the contents.
I can't do a highwayman in nothing but a pair of corked moustaches!
The bottle may be corked, have a screw top, or glass stopper, according to your fancy.
They were corked and in wooden cases, which protected them perfectly.
1570s, "to put a cork sole on a shoe," from cork (n.)). Meaning "to stop with a cork" is from 1640s. Related: Corked; corking.
place in Ireland, anglicized from Irish Corcaigh, from corcach "marsh."

Dune newbie questions
I just picked Dune a couple days ago, and I have a couple questions before I read it.
1) Which adaptation is better? I'm talking both general quality, and closeness to the book. A few years ago I tried to watch both of them, and I really liked the miniseries, but I didn't make it very far in the movie. I don't think they'd even gotten to Arrakis yet before I turned off the movie.
2) If I decide to continue the series what is the best order to read the sequels/prequels/interquels, midquels or whatever you want to call the new series?
Re: Dune newbie questions
I prefer the two Scifi minis to the Lynch movie. I suppose an argument could be made for the style of the Lynch movie, but in terms of telling the story, the 2000 Scifi mini is certainly better. In most cases I prefer its casting as well.
I haven't read any of the non-Herbert books myself, but of those I will say that the first four (through God Emperor) are certainly the best. Both Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse: Dune had me falling into a pattern of not being able to manage more than one chapter at a time for most of the book, and then suddenly becoming awesome in the last quarter of the story.
Re: Dune newbie questions
1) The Sci-Fi Channel miniseries is much closer to the book. I prefer it in all ways, although some are turned off by its more theatrical-looking sets and length.
2) Assuming you like Dune and want to read everything, I would read in chronological order:
1) Legends of Dune trilogy (Butlerian Jihad, Machine Crusade, Battle of Corrin)
2) House trilogy (Atreides, Harkonnen, Corrino)
3) Dune (it's worth a reread, and you'll have more knowledge of everyone's backstory)
4) Paul of Dune
5) Dune Messiah
6) Winds of Dune
7) Children of Dune
8) God Emperor of Dune
9) Heretics of Dune
10) Chapterhouse: Dune
11) Hunters of Dune
12) Sandworms of Dune
Re: Dune newbie questions
I recommend you read
Dune Messiah
Children of Dune
God Emperor of Dune
and the rest is really up to you
There's a timeline at www.dunenovels.com
Re: Dune newbie questions
Read the Frank Herbert books first (although Lindley is right, the last two aren't so hot); though I'll admit I haven't read tbe Brian Herbert works.
These are:
1) Dune
2) Dune Messiah
3) Children of Dune
4) God Emperor of Dune
5) Heretics of Dune
6) Chapterhouse: Dune
Again, though, only the first four are good, and are fairly complete by themselves.
Re: Dune newbie questions
Well I like Heretics and Chapterhosue better than God Emperor...
The Legend trilogy is interesting, however it's a bit too fanficish :) Let's see how EVERYTHING we've seen in Dune started ten thousand years ago!!
House trilogy is almost on par with the first 3 dune books. Must read.
Paul of Dune is similar to the House trilogy in style, in substance it's a little weaker.
Haven't read Winds, I should really have bought it by now...
The two sequels are extremely interesting, the characters are drawn perfectly, however there are like twelve threads going on, third of them completely separate from the main story, some even pointless. And it takes 5 deus ex machines (hehe, bad pun) to save the day!
If you got time, go ahead!
You can read it in any order, just read the House trilogy before Paul, and the Legend trilogy before the sequals. And after you finished with the House trilogy, reread Dune. It makes it MORE AWESOME!
Re: Dune newbie questions
Re: Dune newbie questions
Read Dune, then stop. ;-)
Re: Dune newbie questions
The first book I read was the original Dune, and in my opinion that's the best one for a beginner to start, mostly because of the glossary in the back. I haven't read any of the Brian Herbert ones (I haven't even finished the original 6 Frank Herbert books), but in my opinion my favorite is the original.
Re: Dune newbie questions
I'd suggest reading the Frank Herbert novels first. Certainly before the prequel "House..." trilogy (the only other ones I've read). I thought their fore-shadowing of the original novels was too heavy-handed, not to mention spoiler-y.
Re: Dune newbie questions
Re: Dune newbie questions
I like all of the, but Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, and God Emperor of Dune are really the essentials. Even God Emperor is optional, but it is my favorite book.
Re: Dune newbie questions
Weren't the first three novels written at the same time? I seem to recall Herbert mentioning he had written some of Dune Messiah before he even completed the first novel in one of his introductions.
I've only read the first four novels (and some of the House novels, which were not as well-written).
Re: Dune newbie questions
Re: Dune newbie questions
The Sci-Fi Dune mini-series is worth going through just to get to their Children of Dune mini-series. (It covers 'Dune Messiah' and 'Children of Dune' books)
It is by far the best adaptation of Herbert's books.

My standard kit - OM 2n or OM 2sp, 24mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2.0, 85mm f/2.0 fits easily in a tiny camera bag.
My other lenses include a number of 50mm (1.8, 1.4, 3.5 macro) that are very good and a surprisingly good 75mm - 150mm f/4 two touch zoom.
My OM20/OMG bodies are great, cheap backup bodies that are very light but very functional.
And in the past, my OM 1 bodies were very reliable.
The OM ergonomics are quite different from other cameras - really well suited to my strongly left handed needs.

Tireject Emergency Tire Repair [VIDEO]
A flat tire can be a disaster on any hunting or camping trip. Even if you have a spare, where can you get a tire repaired in a remote location and not get "taken" in the process? The Tireject Tire Repair kit can be a hunt-saver in this situation; it allows you to repair a tire on your car, truck, quad… any tire that requires air pressure. This instructional video was surely written by a teacher as the process is exceeding clear and easily understood. Check out the video and see more about this new product at tireject.com.
This seems almost too good to be true! Where might I be able to get my hands on some of this?
Hi Dustin, our product is available online at http://www.tireject.com. We are here to try and repair the bad image of tire sealant – this stuff actually works and can be used to repair a flat tire or leaky tire. You can also pre-dose your off road tires and prevent flats, you won't be disappointed with the results. If you decide to try it out we have a summer deal right now, you can get 20% off using discount code "summer2014" during checkout. Thanks!
