I've mentioned before here that I am moving from our legacy Catalyst 6500-based switching infrastructure to a new Nexus 5548-based infrastructure, and I'm in the early stages of the actual migration. Before I can actually migrate things physically from the old switches to the new, I need to make sure that things work as I think they should, and that has been a voyage of discovery for me, let me tell you.
The most recent thing I've had appear that I didn't understand is this: When running a pair of CAT-6 cables from the Cat6500 to a shared FEX (using a vPC), I had massive packet loss, in the ballpark of 50%. Depending on whether all of the links were up, or one of the links was down, the packet loss might be from all sources, or possibly just traffic crossing a subnet boundary. Here's the diagram for how it was set up:
Po3 in this case, was a trunk which had almost all of the VLANs going over it. The behavior was such that if both links were up, and the server and the laptop were on the same subnet, then there would be no packet loss, but if they were on separate subnets, then the packet loss might be 50-60%. And the packets that were dropped weren't some recognizable pattern, it was "clumpy". Four to five miss, then one or two hit, then a miss, then four or five hit, and so on.
The layer 3 switching between VLANs in those cases was being done by the Catalyst (in fact, all of the L3 switching right now is being done by the Catalyst).
I talked with Cisco, and they suggested that I move the Cat from the FEX and directly attach it to the Nexuses (Nexii?). The reason they gave me was STP related, but I'd already found that out the hard way and enabled BPDU filtering on the Catalyst's port-channel members.
The ports on a Nexus5548 are SFP+, and I was worried that I didn't have any transceivers that would work, but luckily I found some, so I then ran two fiber connections from the Cat, one to each Nexus. As soon as I did that, my packet loss stopped across the board. Here's how it's wired now:
So, the question that I don't know the answer to is, "why did I see such a strange pattern of packet loss before?". What was I doing wrong? I asked for clarification from the ticket holder at Cisco, and here's what I got back:
The main issue is that connecting a 6500 to a FEX is not a supported topology so any unexpected behavior may have no explanation because it may or may not work correctly. Checking the show tech I could not find anything indicating any issues, everything looks correct but that is the issue when having a not supported topology.
I refuse to believe that there is magic here. Yes, it's an unsupported topology, but why is it unsupported – what produces the packet loss here?
The closest thing I've come to an answer is in the vPC Gotchas You Need to Know blog entry by Peter Triple, aka Routing over a Nexus 7000 VPC Peer Link, although I'm not doing any routing adjacencies over the peer link. It's all static, and mostly resembles Diagram 4, but without the OSPF.
So basically, can anyone shed light on why the response I got was what it was? Thanks, I appreciate it!

I have been watching this thread for a while now and this past weekend decided to finally step into the world of video. While not a classic helmet cam, my new Samsung F50 will be light enough at 8 oz. to mount to my helmet and get better video than any of the budget cams (Veho MuVi and the like) out there. The main reason behind the purchase was my daughter's HS graduation, but for $130 I felt I could not go wrong hoping to use it on the helmet as well. Battery life is incredible, but there's really no point in taking video on a century, so a half hour commute will be just fine with a 1Gb card.
Found some cool helmet mounts on DX, but I think there is a use for some old tubes I have lying around as a means to affix the cam to my helmet securely. Still developing the plan.
I think you underestimate how much 8 ounces is when strapped to a helmet.
Work: the 8 hours that separates bike rides.
Make sure that whatever mount you use to put that on your helmet will break away if something hits the camera, otherwise hitting something with it could cause anything from neck injury to a crash.
Work: the 8 hours that separates bike rides.
My flashlight (~3oz) gets annoying sometimes. 8 would be really annoying.
This is super seriously.
FWIW, the Hero only weights 2 oz. less...
I've been checking out http://jonescam.tv. From their promo info they have been making professional-grade cams for longer than anybody, and the price is about $180. They seem to focus on the auto/snowmobile/dirt motorcycle market.
This thread has been very informative for me. Thank you to everyone that contributed.
I just ordered a Drift HD 170 Stealth:
I was considering the Contour and GoPro but I decided to go with the Drift since it has much better controls than the other two.
Also, I found this web site very informative with the side by side comparrisons:
Any advice on using a GoPro Hero HD at night or in low light?
I have been considering buying one for commuting and to capture video of our weekly night rides just for fun. These would be in city streets with ambient light plus a few hundred cyclist with headlights. I'd love to see some examples of others usages at night.

I was video taping on my GoPro yesterday on a very rough road and though I should have a lanyard attached just in case the bracket broke or something.
Well it happened! it vibrated its way right of the end of the lower handle bar and bounced off the road, before I knew it I turned my head thinking it was the riders cel phone in front of me.
Holy crap my camera, and just then a big heavy duty pick up truck ran it over with one of it's front tires. I felt really sick.
I swooped back to pick it up before a car ran over it. I was in total shock, it was turned on by the truck tire, I pressed record and the red light came on.
Other than road rash on the case and the start button jammed on, it was in very good shape, including the custom mount I made and adapted to the gopro tripod mount. I made this mount to swivel in any direction with minimal resistance.
Finally got the DX FotoPro camera mount after waiting an entire epoch for it to arrive in the mail. Also running a DX spy cam on the helmet. Welcome to 1998.
Video will be posted as soon as I figure out how to use YouTube
The first take with the Samsung F54 mounted to the helmet. Handlebar mount vibrated too much, even with anti-shake activated. Scan lines are because I was mistakenly set at TV/Fine instead of Web/Normal. The 8 oz. cam on the helmet was not at all a significant weight addition. Apologies for the dull video - taken from the middle of the commute home.

Anemographs. --For a detailed study of atmospheric circulation instruments are necessary that will record both the direction and the velocity of the wind. For simply indicating the direction, wind vanes are almost universally employed. In Fig. 58 is shown a vane designed to record the direction of the wind. The vane itself is supported on friction rollers, shown at h in the detailed drawing. A slender rod supported by the same rollers extends downward inside the support, and has clamped upon it at e four cam collars, so arranged that with the vane pointing toward one of the cardinal points of the compass an electric circuit is closed through the corresponding spring. The cams overlap and are so set that when the wind vane points NW, NE, SE, or SW, the circuit is closed through two springs. A circuit closer on the clock of the register, shown in Fig. 59, Weather Bureau meteorograph, completes the circuit through the proper magnet or magnets once each minute, and the record shown at a, a, Fig. 60, results. The record sheet is wrapped around the register cylinder, as shown in Fig. 59, and the cylinder is revolved by the register clock at such a rate that the transverse parallel lines on the record sheet represent five- minute intervals of time. The position of the dots at a, a, Fig. 60, represents the direction from which the wind was blowing. Thus, the record shows that the wind was quite steady from the south until 4.35 P.M., when it changed successively to the SE, E, NE, N, and NW, and then back to the N, NE, and E. These variations in direction were caused by the passage of a thunderstorm. The record at c shows that the sun was shining continuously until 3.11 P.M., and the record at d that rain commenced at 4.41 P.M., and continued until 5.23 p.m.

Subsistence farming was her first major preoccupation. Though she still holds it in high value, she says selling the crops that she harvests is a better and worthwhile business proposition. Her business accrues 45,000 shillings weekly. With this loan, she wants to buy in bulk more cash crops for resale. She belongs to the Akutwala Ekiro Group-Mityana.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Following Faith
Geography of Religion
By Susan Tyler Hitchcock, with John L. Esposito
National Geographic, 416 pages, $24
If religion is about believing in something larger than yourself, then the authors of "Geography of Religion: Where God Lives, Where Pilgrims Walk" have done a great service by, in effect, showing such largeness by analogy. This lushly illustrated volume -- a paperback version of an earlier hardbound release -- contains photographs of the holiest locations of the world's five major religions: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. (The introduction is by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the epilogue by the Dalai Lama.) The chapters on Eastern religions contain much in the way of large "idols," like the towering statue of Gommateshvara in southern India. The chapters on Islam and Christianity, by contrast, offer images of enormous houses of worship, such as the Prophet's mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia, with its ornate gold-topped columns looming over rows of worshippers, and the majestic Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. Little of this grandiosity is on display in the chapter on Judaism, with the exception of the Western Wall, a remnant of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Then again, the authors write, "the symbolic objects" of Judaism, such as the Ark of the Covenant and the Torah, were "designed as portable."

The Lost Memories of the 'Tehran Children'
On February 19, 1943, Shoshana Gilady saw a photograph in the Palestine Post.Gilady recognized herself in the photo, which had been taken the previous day. She was one of the two mothers, and the baby was her son, Alex.
On February 19, 1943, Shoshana Gilady saw a photograph in the Palestine Post. It was a black-and-white picture of two women peering out the window of a train, their hair covered with kerchiefs, each holding a baby wrapped in a blanket. Gilady recognized herself in the photo, which had been taken the previous day. She was one of the two mothers, and the baby was her son, Alex.
Several decades later, Alex Gilady received a copy of that photograph and decided to show it to a man he had recently befriended.
"When I received the photo," recalls Gilady, "I had a copy made and I took it to the office of Arie Mientkavich, whom I had met at a convention of Holocaust survivors. When I showed him the picture, he looked at it, then at me, and said, 'Alex, we are brothers.'"
To this day Gilady, president of Keshet Broadcasting and a member of the International Olympic Committee, and Mientkavich, former chairman of Israel Discount Bank - the two babies photographed with their mothers at the train window - consider themselves brothers, even though they are not blood related.
Refugees from Poland
Today they and some 700 orphans who immigrated to Israel in February 1943 are the subject of "Tehran Children," a documentary film currently in the making, directed by Yehuda Kaveh ("Avidanium 2005," "Letters from Lebanon"). The film interviews now middle-aged "Tehran Children," to find out how they are coping with their memories or lack of memories of their arrival in Israel, which at the time caused a tumult in the pre-state Jewish community.
The story of the "Tehran Children" began during World War II, when Jewish refugees from Poland crossed the border into Russia to escape the Nazis.
In order to save their children from the hunger and harsh living conditions in Russia, many parents sent their children to local orphanages.
In 1942, the Polish II Corps was established to fight the Nazis alongside the Russians and the troops were sent to Tehran to train; they were accompanied by a few thousand civilian refugees, including several hundred orphans.
In Tehran, the Jewish Agency assisted the refugees, who were housed in tent encampments, and after lengthy negotiations with the British administration in Palestine, the children were granted immigration certificates.
In February 1943, the "Tehran Children" arrived in Israel and were greeted with great excitement. "Here, people still did not know exactly what was happening in Europe," says Dalia Gutman, who is producing the documentary with David Tor.
"People were worried about their relatives they left behind, and these children were the first representatives who arrived here from the war. People greeted the refugees at the station with questions of 'where are you from?' and 'do you know this or that relative of mine?'" she adds.
Gilady and Mientkavich were photographed with their mothers while they were waiting to get off the train.
Locked in oral history
Gutman, formerly the programming director for Israel Television's Channel 1, relates that the idea for the film was born following a meeting she had with Avigdor (Yanush) Ben-Gal, another Tehran child, about 10 years ago.
"He told me about the separation from his parents at age 5, and it was such a heartrending story that it prompted me to find out more about that chapter [of Jewish history]," relates Gutman. "I quickly realized that all the children's stories had become an oral history, and that apart from the academic works and one book written for teenagers by author Devorah Omer, there were no films or orderly documentation of these children's story, which was, of course, intertwined with the story of Zionism and the story of the Jewish immigration to Israel."
The film details the historical facts, but the main focus is on the children's memories.
"The film examines what people do when they bury their memories, how they confront their lack of memories today," explains Gutman. "Gilady and Mientkavich are not typical 'Tehran Children.' They have no memories of that time, as they came to Israel as infants. The other children underwent difficult wanderings, have no personal documents and do not even remember their parents.
"Many of them now travel to Poland in search of landmarks that will help them relive the childhood memories that were erased, probably out of necessity, to protect themselves."

In their review of theory and research on motivation, Cofer and Appley ( 1964) remarked, "Dissonance theory (and its research) needs more anchoring in the concepts of prior work than it has had to date [ 1964, p. 798]." Cofer and Appley were concerned about a one-sided emphasis they saw in dissonance research at the time they wrote. Most psychologists agree that to designate a variable as "motivational" ascribes to it properties of energizing, directing, and reinforcing behavior. Berlyne ( 1964) has expressed this well: "To attack motivational problems means to seek factors that govern the organism's degree of alertness and activation, that bias the organism toward certain forms of behavior, and that determine what events will provide reinforcement for learning processes and how effectively [p. 488]."
Until 1964 nearly all research on cognitive dissonance had followed a simple and sovereign strategy. In experiments to validate dissonance theory, investigators aroused cognitive dissonance and then examined the subsequent dissonance-reducing effects. As we have already seen, numerous such effects have been accumulated in the experimental literature. While reliable experimental findings are welcomed by any theory, this body of evidence does not, by itself, make a conclusive case for the assertion that cognitive dissonance is a motivational variable. Consider the reliable patellar reflex (knee jerk) phenomenon. Typically individuals extend the leg in response to a tap on the patella. But few psychologists would wish to say that this response is performed in order to reduce a motivational tension state. We should also be reluctant to conclude that cognitive dissonance is a motivational variable simply on the basis of studies showing that dissonance arousal produces "dissonance-reducing" reactions.
It has been noted above that Berlyne lists three criteria by which we may judge a variable as motivational. One of these has to do with the impact of the variable____________________

This would be a modification for a pinball machine, which seems like a potential great market for 3D printing. Depending on the success of this modification this, could turn into more work. I've found that pinball owners are willing to spend decent money for custom pinball modifications. I'd be interested to know if anyone would be interested to help me out with this project. I'd personally like one or two, but would be able to market a hundred, or more. Any helpful advise or links would be appreciated.

 Thank you,
 Luke

It appears that The Columbian's editorial board has been taking advantage of Washington's new marijuana law. The March 17 editorial, "Gun Bill Falls Short," is indicative of this. The statement that this is a reasonable regulation is slanted, to say the least.
The requirement that all transfers would require a background check cannot be accomplished without "firearms registration." This has nearly always resulted in confiscation and disarming of the citizens. Repressive governments usually start out with government approval for firearms ownership. Does anybody today remember Germany of the 1930s? Ask six million Jews and Slavs how effective firearms registration is.
I have seen little to affirm that the majority of citizens support universal registration. Perhaps in the cities. I do not recollect anybody asking me of my opinion.
Transfers between family members or by inheritance would be much more difficult and costly. Where is the cost/benefit study of the proposed law?
Knee-jerk reactions and "feel good" legislation seldom solve problems. They only add complexity and cost to our lives and power to the government.

There are three files in my setup:
authorized_keys has a copy of
id_rsa.pub contents to allow no-password logins.
These files have been copied between two computers. If I ssh from computer1 to computer2, it works. If I ssh from coputer2 to computer1, it prompts for a password. Can someone tell me why this might happen.
Also, both systems are running Ubuntu 10.04. I have reinstalled openssh-server packages on both systems. Permissions of the files are the same. The /etc/ssh
sshd_config and
ssh_config files are the same. I have run with
-v -v -v and the only difference between the two sessions, is that one says the 'key was accepted by the server', the other one just continues to the password prompt.
So what else is left to check?

This ending seems to me a triumph of composition. All that has been detailed with such gruesome care about the terribleness of a French hospital is brought to imaginative climax through the anecdote at the end. Proust could hardly have done better.
Orwell died, in 1950, at the age of forty-six, stricken by tuberculosis. It is depressing to think that if he had lived, he would today be no more than sixty-five years old. How much we have missed in these two decades! Imagine Orwell ripping into one of Harold Wilson's mealy speeches, imagine him examining the thought of Spiro Agnew, imagine him dissecting the ideology of Tom Hayden,1 imagine him casting a frosty eye on the current wave of irrationalism in Western culture!
The loss seems enormous…. He was one of the few heroes of our younger years who remains untarnished. Having to live in a rotten time was made just a little more bearable by his presence.
Malcolm Muggeridge, Esquire
March 1969, pp. 12-14
The four volumes of George Orwell's collected essays, journalism and letters, impeccably edited by his widow Sonia Orwell and Ian Angus, are wonderfully readable, wonderfully illuminating, and a rare treasure for any aspiring writer. I have always thought that Orwell, apart from anything else, was the perfect twentieth-century stylist. His dry sentences with their splendid clarity and smoldering indignation convey better than any other contemporary writer the true mood of our times. He stood alone in every sense, but especially in the temper of his mind, avoiding alike the incoherence (Joyce, Beckett), the pedantry (Eliot, Sartre, Pound), the false rhetoric (Hemingway, Céline), the hysteria (D. H. Lawrence, John Osborne), and other devices for evading an all too overwhelmingly tragic reality. As a

Turning the Camera on Communications Careers: Maybe You Dream of Writing the Next Great American Novel or Earning a Pulitzer; Maybe You Think Jon Stewart Is Cool or Oprah Is Awesome. Either Way, Communications May Be the Perfect Career Path
Martinez, Amanda, Careers & Colleges
Communications: it's one of those fields that cover a wide range of jobs. Depending on who you ask and what college and university programs you look at, communications can encompass careers ranging from writing, broadcasting, and advertising to graphic or performing arts, Web design, and occasionally even counseling. According to the National Communication Association (NCA), because communications includes such a diverse array of specializations, scholars and teachers have sought to define the discipline more definitively in recent years. In the end, they decided that an umbrella description of communications is "an area that promotes the ethical delivery of messages and meanings."
Figuring out exactly what it means to have a career in communications can be a little complicated, but the flexibility and scope of the job descriptions and opportunities is part of the appeal. This is especially important today because experts predict that you are likely to change careers--not just jobs--at several points throughout your working years. At any time in your future, you may find that a background in communications helps you land jobs as varied as ...
* Public relations specialist--serves as a vital link between an organization, customers, and the community in times of hardship;
* Technical writer--effectively distills complex scientific terminology into simpler language so everyone can understand such things as their TiVo or computer manuals;
* Sign language interpreter--helps a deaf person describe her ailments to a physician, resulting in a speedy diagnosis that saves her life;
* Speechwriter--composes the stirring address that motivates a nation into positive action;
* Audio and video equipment technician--sets up the sound and lights for the summer's hottest concert tour;
* Film editor--condense take after take into this year's Oscar winner; or
* Photojournalist--capture the hem team's against-the-odds victory for all to see in the morning paper
Some communications careers are useful in bridging the gap across a number of very different fields. For example, you may find yourself doing public relations work for a top accounting firm. You may even choose to major in English but wind up going to medical school because you've built up the analytical and language skills critical to being a physician. And, with technology and globalization changing the face of media and communication every day, careers in this field are constantly evolving and emerging.
The Communications Angle
Okay, maybe you think that communications is the right field for you. It sounds exciting and challenging, a job that will keep you learning and growing. As with any career, it pays to investigate all the angles to get a clear picture. For example, did you know that according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment opportunities and pay for some communications jobs--like those in broadcasting--are often better in more metropolitan areas? Or that night, weekend, and holiday work is a fact of life in journalism careers? Or that more than one third of writers and editors are self-employed?
There are many things to consider, so keep your eyes and ears open and talk to those who work in the field--including your communications teachers who have probably held jobs in the industry outside the classroom. Check out national societies for the careers that catch your attention. They can provide great information, resources, and contacts. Examples include the Society for Technical Communication (www.stc.org), the National Association of Broadcasters (www.nab.org), and the Public Relations Society of American (www.prsa.org).
Getting There
According to the BLS, competition for entry-level jobs in many communications fields is nothing short of fierce, so you'll want to be sure you take advantage of every opportunity to distinguish yourself from your competition. …

Roederer Estate Brut
Winemaker Notes
Roederer's winemaking style is based on two elements: ownership of its own vineyards and the addition of oak-aged reserve wines to each year's blend or cuvee. All the grapes for the Anderson Valley wines are grown on the Estate.
Each year, the winemaker... View More
Critical Acclaim
The Roederer Estate Brut has always garnered a special place amongst the folks in the wine trade. This is my go-to bubbly from anywhere in the New World and often in place of higher price bubblies from France and Italy. Yes, this one is as solid as they come. Medium straw color, refined beads; excellent aroma of ripe apples and light creaminess, maybe even a hint of hazelnut; medium bodied, delicately layered on the palate, excellent structure; dry, fine acidity, well balanced; complex flavors of ripe apples and cream; medium to long finish, fine nuances in the aftertaste. (Tasted: August 11, 2015, San Francisco, CA)
The fruit flavors are apparent, fresh and lively in this medium-bodied, beautifully balanced brut. Light pear and pineapple aromas are followed by richer pear and citrus flavors, and subtle hints of baking spices, almonds and a nice earthy touch emerge.
Sleek and charming, with yeasty apple torte and floral cherry aro- mas and rich, crisp flavors of lemon curd, spicy vanilla and fresh ginger.

Re: Underwater mortgage & seeking advice.
Best of luck to you. I can't answer most of your questions, but I'm sure you'll get some good advice here. I realize you looked at other sources as well, but I just wanted to say that I would put little to no stock in what Zillow has to say. I had a condo in DC and Zillow was nowhere near correct. At the best of times, condos in my building were selling for around $410K. When we sold earlier this year, we had to sell for $367K. However, Zillow gave me estimates over the years anywhere from around $200K to upwards of $600K. Hopefully you're not as underwater as you think.

An Indiana woman who died in November requested in her last will and testament that her dog Bela be buried with her. One problem: Bela is still alive.
Richard Wayne Landers Jr., Indiana boy abducted in '94, found in Minnesota
WOLCOTTVILLE, Ind. - A man who was abducted from Indiana by his grandparents when he was 5 years old nearly 20 years ago has been found alive, living in Minnesota, police said.
Richard Wayne Landers Jr., of Wolcottville, was abducted by his paternal grandparents, Richard E. and Ruth A. Landers, in July 1994 following a custody dispute, state police said.
Landers was listed as missing child and arrest warrants were issued for his grandparents, but after they hadn't been located by 2008, the charges were dropped.
In September 2012, new information gathered by the boy's parents led detectives to Long Prairie, Minn., where a man was found using Richard Landers Jr.'s Social Security number and date of birth, police said.
"The man's driver's license photograph even appeared to bear a potentially similar resemblance as to how the missing boy might look today," state police said in a news release.
Working with local authorities, police located the grandparents, who were also living in Minnesota using assumed names, and they admitted their true identities and that of Richard Landers Jr., who is now 24 and married, police said.
"It's nice to put closure to this case, and now the family can begin the process of reconnecting with their loved one," LaGrange County Sheriff Terry Martin said in a news release.

I have been trying all these different Custom Content Type plugins and it seems like they all just suck.
I read multiple blog articles about how great Flutter was. I tried it and it was pretty horrible. I would get my content to show up on some write panels but then on others it just wouldn't work at all, even though my PHP code was exactly the same.
Then I read about Magic Fields, that was supposed to be an improved branch of Flutter. I gave that a go, but similar issues.
I've tried a few more out there but it just doesn't seem like any of them are any good. Like they all seem like they are 'beta' or even 'alpha' products and are not even close to being ready for prime time.
All I'm looking for is a plugin that allows me to add some basic custom content types to my pages so that my client doesn't have to fudge with HTML if they want to change an image in my custom theme I'm designing for them...
Surely there must be a good plugin for this out there... Anyone know?

Lovely professional University in its effort to provide Global Exposure to its students tied up with EMC2 Corporation a U.S. Fortune 500 and S&P 500 provider of information infrastructure systems, software and services. Both LPU and EMC2 want to create more efficient and learned tech graduates, for the benefit of the students as well as technological growth of a country said Mr. Somasundaram, Director - Industry Training and Certification (Global Education Services at EMC2), who was present personally to forge this tie up between the two organizations.
Mr. Somasundaram, the US based professional who drives the Industry training and Certification (IEC) initiative at EMC2, educated the students about the current IT Industry requirement. While delivering a lecture at Shri Baldev Raj Auditorium, Mr. Somasundaram emphasized the need on part of the students to equip themselves with diverse skills, and not limit themselves to only on field of strength. He said, Today, the companies are enthusiastic about an employee who is jack of all trades and not just master of one. An IT professional can not be termed as complete unless he has knowledge of Software development, as well as database management, data storage and networking. In nutshell, he needs to be equipped with all the related fields of his subject. Ms. Rashmi Mittal, Executive Dean-LPU also emphasized the importance of continuously acquiring the latest knowledge, especially so when a student is studying technology.
Mr. Somasundaram also showed his interest in increasing the activity of the tie-ups between EMC2 and LPU through development of joint curriculum, towards creating a technically educative and supportive environment for its students, a mutually cherished desire of both the organizations.He also awarded a cheque of Rs. 5000 and an appreciation certificate to Danish Wadhwa, a student of year of B Tech (CSE) for developing a Joint Website for LPU and EMC2. Certificates to other students were also distributed, who underwent the training organized by EMC2 at LPU campus.

"Worst Ever"
May 8th, 2012
As a user of this forum I could not believe how this movie did not reflect anything relating to a squirrel, or a boy. I thought I had found the most cutting edge squirrelboy combination of explosions, romance, excitement, and genetic mutations. Instead, I have been riddled with disappointment. Maybe once of these days when squirrel boy 2 comes out we will have a second chance to bring this heap back from the dead.

9 mile commute, fairly flat, Giant Anyroad gravel grinder, all bike path/lane with few traffic crossings; I'm now averaging 12-13.5mph. I started out two months ago doing 3.5miles and struggled at 9-10mph
9 mile commute, fairly flat, Giant Anyroad gravel grinder, all bike path/lane with few traffic crossings; I'm now averaging 12-13.5mph. I started out two months ago doing 3.5miles and struggled at 9-10mph
Around here there are a lot of areas with distorted pavement from heavy vehicles braking or turning. Also there are fissures between where the paving machine made each run on some wider areas, as in a big long split right under or next to the lane dividers or shoulder line. These are more caused by seasonal ground shifting vs flexibility of road with ambient temperature but vehicle weight plays as roll as well.
I simply keep the front wheel straight, even if i'm riding along one of these fissures for 20-30 feet. Can't be helped, it's not like i have a road grinder, asphalt mixer, paving machine and steam roller laying around
Do not let these minor road imperfections detract from focusing on your chosen travel path. Over time you'll learn to not fear these things & let the bike take the bumps for you by raising up out of seat a bit as you pedal.

I can't wait for the next pint of good chocolate milk after a long ride.
What is a good speed? Just as my signature says, don't ride faster than your guardian angel can fly
Ride no faster than your Guardian Angel can fly!
All speeds are good, and on a commute it depends on the features of the route, mainly slows and stops. I made a private Strava segment just to track commuting time - it has me at 18 mph average, easy route. Nice weather, a little slower, miserable weather a little faster, because I'm cautious with pedestrians and other cyclists, so it has more to do with what's out there than with how fast we are.
It also helps my perspective to realize that for commuting time it doesn't really matter. Slowest to fastest this year, not counting the ice storm, was a difference of only 2.5 minutes.
The fastest I've ever been was 43mph, freewheeling down a 14% hill. The fastest I've ever hit on the flats under my own steam alone was 29mph. I think it surprised the van behind me because I turned a corner and decided to *** it to see how fast I could go.
Normally I try and maintain a moving average of 15mph but the overall average can drop significantly if I'm going into town proper, simply because of all the lights and junctions.
"For a list of ways technology has failed to improve quality of life, press three"
A good speed is the one that gets there.
Just one of those dirty pinko commies some people worry about.
I did a metric century (100km/60mi) last year in 4hrs on a 29er with narrowish (700x32) tires in a hair under 4hrs so you can do decent time on a more upright bike (flat bars vs drop handlebars). I pass people who are riding racing-style bikes and get passed by people riding uprights, I don't care, I'm having fun and am getting to where I'm going in decent time.
I do have a bit of a competitive streak in me; if a person appears to be just slightly slower or faster than me and is ahead of me, I will try to catch up and maybe over take them.
I was asked, "Now that you're an adult, what are you going to do with your life?" I replied, "I don't know, I didn't think I'd make it this far."
TransitBiker, I picked up on this too.
I found that if I look down at the road, my path wobbles and I get in trouble more often than when I look about 5+ seconds ahead of where I am so that I can plan my path around obstacles. Around here, the city tends to use a rubber filler between cracks and when the pavement is warm, it becomes soft and narrow bike tires can get sucked in if you're travelling in the same direction as the crack filler (crossing it isn't a problem). Avoid this as much as you can!!
I was asked, "Now that you're an adult, what are you going to do with your life?" I replied, "I don't know, I didn't think I'd make it this far."
36 mph for a few minutes?
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
When my commute was a lot longer -- 38 mi r/t -- I would usually average 13mph at the beginning of the season, end up around 16mph in the Fall. Along decent flats, I'm usually 17-19mph; if I have the wind at my back, sometimes in the 21-23 mph.
When doing estimates for how long it will take me to get to the bus or work, I'll usually compute distance/time at 12 mph. Just to give myself a little margin. Fastest I've ever gone is low-40s down this one hill... Whenever I get to hyper-legals speeds, I always hope that's the day a cop is sitting somewhere and gives me a speeding ticket. And also, past the speed limit, I start singing Judas Priest's "Breaking the Law" in my head.
I know next to nothing. I am frequently wrong.
For me a good speed is one that is marginally faster than yesterday's.
For those that don't know: 25 mph for an hour is considered a good speed for a decent bike racer on a very-aerodynamic time-trial bike in fully aerodynamic kit: speed suit and time trial helmet. And it takes THREE TIMES as much power to go 36 mph compared to going 25 mph. It's (36/25)^3

At a rough guess that would be near 12 watts per kg for 1-2 minute speed. Impressive.
Power-to-Weight Ratios: Bicycling Training | Bicycling Magazine
12 W/kg is world-class TdF-winning level of cyclist at only 1 minute.
Impressive is an understatement.
I haven't reset my computer at all since I bought it.
1800km (1150 miles) and it's at roughly 24kph (14.5 mph).
That's all walking, riding, etc...
Hope that helps.

You're NOT that strong. Good racers can barely hold 25 mph in a time trial on a time trial bike wearing aerodynamic gear. On a road bike they'll hold, say, 23 mph. And those riders will kick your ass and drop you like used toilet paper.i'm a strong rider and a mid 30 sprint speed on a road drive train is just spinning at 110. i can do this for very short periods of times as can just about anyone who trains a bit.
36/23 cubed is almost four.
That means GOOD RACERS have to hold almost four times their aerobic threshold power for a full minute or two to hold the speeds you're claiming. And they're a LOT faster then you.
You'd probably have to do five or six times your aerobic threshold to hold the speeds you claim to hold for a minute or two.
No one on this planet does that.
Why aren't you taking Mark Cavendish's spot in the TdF?
Because the speeds you're claiming to be able to HOLD for MINUTES are pretty much peak speeds reached in amateur bicycle race sprints, and those are only held for a few SECONDS.
By riders who can crush you.

comparing a 10-25 mile tt to a few hundred meter sprint is completely hilarious.
Decent racers can barely hold 25 mph
25 mph is a high cat5 to cat4 speed for a flat tt course. Nothing to write home about. And once again if you actually took the time to *read* what I wrote you would realize i was discussing a brief sprint. in fact, hitting mid 30s on a full on sprint is relatively easy (~100 rpm in the big ring) for any fit rider on a road bike. maintaining it for more than 10 seconds is difficult but not impossible. (especially if conditions are favorable.)

There is an incredible range of abilities among cyclists. My wife cruises at about 12 or 13 and averages about 10. She once gave it all she had, and she hit 20.
I measure my speed somewhat by how many people pass me on the bike path. If it's a busy day and no one passes me, I figure I'm doing well. If someone passes me, it's either because I have a reason to go slowly or he's the kind of amazing cyclist that I could never dream to beat.
But now I've started to race, so I ask myself again how fast is fast enough? I was in three races last night at the track. I remembered to turn my little computer on for one of them. It's not legal to have one of these visible while you ride it, so I attached it to my seatpost and it faced backwards. It said I averaged 20 mph and hit a max speed of about 29.5 mph. I think it was a 2 mile race.
So now I'm almost the fastest bike commuter I see anywhere in NYC but I'm also slower than all the bike racers I encounter. I came in last in all races so far. There are more gaps to bridge, if you want to. You will always find people who are faster than you are. The question is whether this matters to you.
I decided to race this year so I could learn and grow and have fun. I'm accomplishing all of that, while losing every time. I'm having a blast.

The Five Best Songs About Satan (That Aren't By The Rolling Stones)
That Satan eh? He's inspired more rock songs than he's had hot dinners. Although, every meal he has is probably hot. Hmm. Anyway, old pointy head has been the subject of music since Robert Johnson hung around a crossroads with a crappy six string, and with such a large catalogue of Lucifer-inspired music on offer, you could probably do with a Dante to help you travail these flame-licked compositions. Right?
So, without further ado - and putting aside the likes of The Rolling Stones, Screamin' Jay Hawkins and (regrettably) The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, are the five best songs about the Devil. In my humble, blasphemous opinion.
1. Os Mutantes - Ave Lucifer
Starting at the obscure end of things: Os Mutantes were (and are again) a sort of DIY psychedelic rock band from Brazil who, lacking the resources for such psychedelic necessities like proper instruments and effects pedals, improvised with sewing machines and bug spray (I'm not sure if they employed any home-made alternatives to other psychedelic necessities). Being decidedly not-Brazilian, I don't know exactly what Rita Lee is singing in that bewitching manner of hers, but I'm pretty sure it's about the Dark Lord (the song is from the band's third album, A Divina Comédia ou Ando Meio Desligado, or, The Divine Comedy or I Am a Bit Disconnected).
2. Beck - Devil's Haircut
I'm even less certain that this one's definitely about our chosen subject, and it's sung in English. In interviews the mysterious Beckster has explained this song from 1995's Odelay to be about selling out, but then he also once spun out a pretty great story about getting his haircut in a weird strip mall which had disappeared when he tried to go back, and that being the inspiration. The lyrics are pretty hellish, in their way, as Hansen dead pans his way through descriptions of "discount orgies" and "stealing kisses from the leprous faces." Either way, it's got "devil" in the title, and it's good song - typically weird, veering between distortion-heavy guitar and near-muzak - so here it is.
3. Wilco - Hell Is Chrome
Jeff Tweedy has a bit of a Robert Johnson moment himself, except "When the devil came / He was not red / He was chrome." The song unfolds in a slow, relaxed, piano-lead manner (as does the majority of A Ghost Is Born), without even a sense of creeping dread you'd expect from a song about meeting the personification of evil. Instead, it sounds like the Wilco singer has been brainwashed by a cult, urging us to join him.
4. Camper Van Beethoven - Devil Song
Weirdly of no relation to Go-Kart Mozart, Camper van Beethoven's under-two-minutes lo-fi indie-rock romp updates the star of 'Sympathy For The Devil', turning him from the evil puppet master behind blood-splattered moments in history into a bored suburban teen turning to destruction and arson; the devil makes work for idle hands.
5. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand
Saving the best for last. Is there anyone more qualified for singing about Satan than Antipodean misanthrope Nick Cave? The man has been giving fire-and-brimstone Old Testament sermons, backed by his Bad Seeds. 'Red Right Hand' has some Universal Horror Film-organs to make proceedings creepier.

I recognize this is most likely not a software error and likely lies in one of the hardware components.
However, about 3 months ago I replaced the LCD screen on this laptop. The company which I bought it through provided a 12 month warranty. Before I contact them, I would like to verify that the problem is most likely the LCD screen and not the inverter.
As a side note, I have discovered that sometimes, if I unplug the power source to the machine, the monitor will switch off. Reconnecting the power source will fix the monitor.
Any comments? I recognize its impossible to diagnose hardware remotely, but it would be nice to know if there is a high probability it could be a component other then the LCD screen.
