why does each NFS mount have (at least) 2 rpc_clnt's ?
Jeff Layton <jlayton <at> redhat.com>
I'm working on an issue in an older kernel where we see occasional panics when trying to refresh credentials. Here's the bug in case anyone is interested: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=572870 ...I think I understand the problem well enough now. The problem is pretty complex, but the issue is that some operations are done using credentials from a stateowner associated with a nfs_client, but using the rpc_clnt in nfs_server->client. The two can have different authtypes if there are a mix of mounts with different authtypes to the same server. This problem seems to have been fixed in mainline with the introduction of the auth_generic code. It leaves me wondering though...what exactly is the reason for having two rpc_clients per NFS mount? To clarify, I'm talking about these two, which seem to be somewhat redundant: nfs_server->client nfs_server->nfs_client->cl_rpcclient On mount, the nfs4_set_client calls nfs_get_client to search the list of nfs_client structs until it finds one that matches the address, port, etc of the NFS server. If one isn't found, the kernel creates one using whatever authtype was requested for the mount. Later, nfs_init_server_rpcclient looks at the rpc_clnt in the nfs_client and copies it. If the auth pseudoflavor doesn't match however, it creates a new rpc_auth for it.(Continue reading)

JavaOne - SOA, and Bono's ONE Campaign
By manish on Jul 01, 2005
I could not get a chance to attend the technical sessions at JavaOne 2005 this time, but I did get a Pavillion Pass to assist with booth duty at Booth 900. Sun architected, built, tested and deployed a solution to enable Bono to call on his fans to join him in his fight against AIDS and poverty. An initiative called the ONE Campaign. This solution is being deployed in real time from the U2 concert venues. Dany is the chief architect and technical lead of all the work we've done with the ONE Campaign initaitive. This demo was built on the web infrastructure suite, Solaris 10 Operating System, and SunFire servers was deployed to create a pragmatic Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) solution for Bono. You can check out Mary's blogs to know more about this solution.

Ten years ago (what?!) I got to spend about a year in Japan with Melia while we sang for Disney. We learned so much about the world and about ourselves, and I will always love Melia for being my "mission companion". The Japanese would constantly tell her she looked like Nicole Kidman. She's definitely prettier than Nicole though, let's be honest. By the way, Chris is a movie star! Really! Google the movie Source Code and see who composed the Soundtrack. Yep. It's Chris Bacon, Melia's husband. Hollywood star. Basically I'm paparazzi now.
Melia has been in love with Chris as long as I've known her. I heard all about him in Japan. She wanted to marry him and have a family. And she got her dream - just look at her.
Melia told me "we play a lot at our house" Can you tell? The two oldest kids are thirteen months apart and it was so cute to watch them adore that new baby brother!
Can we just pause for a moment to enjoy the deliciousness of this baby? Those cheeks! That hair! Those cankles!
Love ya Meliatard, and your little boofuses.


text: Last offseason was a time of mystery regarding Baltimore Ravens S Ed Reed, as it had been in offseasons past. At times, it looked like he was finished playing pro football; at others, there was no doubt he'd be back. In the end, he returned to the club to play out the final campaign on his current contract, but that left another question for this upcoming offseason: Would he retire, re-sign with Baltimore, or elect to sign a new deal elsewhere?

User reviews on Revolutionary Optimists
This was one of the most amazing films I have ever seen and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. This film is a tribute to power of optimism and a man who is changing the world by starting with one child at a time, it is truly inspiring. The film is about Indian slum children who stand up for themselves with the help of a wonderful man named Amlan Ganguly. The film was suspenseful, moving and thought-provoking all in the same time. It is a rare kind of doc**entary and I hope people will see it in the theaters and be inspired and uplifted.

Project Background
In 1998, the ESRC funded Karen Henwood (then at the University of East Anglia) for a 17 month project entitled Masculinities, Identities and the Transition to Fatherhood (1999-2001). The aim of this project was to conduct a detailed qualitative investigation into men's experiences of the transition to fatherhood and how they fashion, rework and negotiate their identities in the light of contemporary socio-cultural transformations in masculinity and fatherhood.
The study was designed as an in-depth, largely interview-based qualitative study into men's experiences of the transition to first-time fatherhood, and involved three waves of data collection with 30 participants aged between 19 and 40 years. The first of these took place just before the birth of each man's first child (when his partner was 6-7 months pregnant), the second when the baby was 2-3 months old, and third when the baby was 5-6 months old. The study generated a carefully crafted, qualitative longitudinal data set focussed around some critical turning points in men's life histories (for example: pregnancy; birth; changes to daily routines, relationship with partner, and the balance between work and family life) and how they interpret significant biographical change. Findings from this project have shed light on how men fashion, negotiate and rework their identities as men and fathers in light of changing cultural constructions of masculinity and fatherhood and how embodied gender relations work through into men's adult lives.
New ESRC funding under the Timescapes UK network has enabled the development of the transition to fatherhood project in terms of a more finely grained understanding of temporalities in the experiences of fathers over a time of intensive change in their lives. The empirical re-study of existing data will also provide a unique opportunity for long term follow-up of the original sample whose lives may have changed significantly since they were last interviewed nearly a decade ago. Building on the transitions to fatherhood data over a longer time-frame to include a further (fourth) wave of data collection with participants from the UEA study will enhance understanding of this major time of adult transition and its aftermath. This is not just in terms of understanding men's life changes but also highlighting its possible implications for the people with whom the men share their life projects (for example, their children, spouses or significant others).

It happened gradually—and until the U.S. figures out how to treat the problem, it will only get worse.
It's 2020, four years from now. The campaign is under way to succeed the president, who is retiring after a single wretched term. Voters are angrier than ever—at politicians, at compromisers, at the establishment. Congress and the White House seem incapable of working together on anything, even when their interests align. With lawmaking at a standstill, the president's use of executive orders and regulatory discretion has reached a level that Congress views as dictatorial—not that Congress can do anything about it, except file lawsuits that the divided Supreme Court, its three vacancies unfilled, has been unable to resolve.
On Capitol Hill, Speaker Paul Ryan resigned after proving unable to pass a budget, or much else. The House burned through two more speakers and one "acting" speaker, a job invented following four speakerless months. The Senate, meanwhile, is tied in knots by wannabe presidents and aspiring talk-show hosts, who use the chamber as a social-media platform to build their brands by obstructing—well, everything. The Defense Department is among hundreds of agencies that have not been reauthorized, the government has shut down three times, and, yes, it finally happened: The United States briefly defaulted on the national debt, precipitating a market collapse and an economic downturn. No one wanted that outcome, but no one was able to prevent it.
The June 23 vote represents a huge popular rebellion against a future in which British people feel increasingly crowded within—and even crowded out of—their own country.
I said goodnight to a gloomy party of Leave-minded Londoners a few minutes after midnight. The paper ballots were still being counted by hand. Only the British overseas territory of Gibraltar had reported final results. Yet the assumption of a Remain victory filled the room—and depressed my hosts. One important journalist had received a detailed briefing earlier that evening of the results of the government's exit polling: 57 percent for Remain.
The polling industry will be one victim of the Brexit vote. A few days before the vote, I met with a pollster who had departed from the cheap and dirty methods of his peers to perform a much more costly survey for a major financial firm. His results showed a comfortable margin for Remain. Ten days later, anyone who heeded his expensive advice suffered the biggest percentage losses since the 2008 financial crisis.
American society increasingly mistakes intelligence for human worth.
As recently as the 1950s, possessing only middling intelligence was not likely to severely limit your life's trajectory. IQ wasn't a big factor in whom you married, where you lived, or what others thought of you. The qualifications for a good job, whether on an assembly line or behind a desk, mostly revolved around integrity, work ethic, and a knack for getting along—bosses didn't routinely expect college degrees, much less ask to see SAT scores. As one account of the era put it, hiring decisions were "based on a candidate having a critical skill or two and on soft factors such as eagerness, appearance, family background, and physical characteristics."
The 2010s, in contrast, are a terrible time to not be brainy. Those who consider themselves bright openly mock others for being less so. Even in this age of rampant concern over microaggressions and victimization, we maintain open season on the nonsmart. People who'd swerve off a cliff rather than use a pejorative for race, religion, physical appearance, or disability are all too happy to drop the s‑bomb: Indeed, degrading others for being "stupid" has become nearly automatic in all forms of disagreement.
The Internet caused my addiction, but it also helped me find a cure.
About a year ago, I was regularly seeing a therapist. During one session, I mentioned the niche porn I had watched and how I was unsure whether or not I wanted to embrace some of the "kinkier" fantasies, like rape and incest, through role-play in my real sex life. It was the only time I could remember her telling me that certain fantasies--not acted out in real life, just imagined--could be "wrong" or considered a "sickness." In retrospect, understanding my condition as an illness might actually have been empowering if explained differently, but at the time, it shut me right up. I never brought it up to her again.
I'm not alone in feeling silenced. Every day it prevents a lot of people from recovering. From porn.
How the Brexit vote activated some of the most politically destabilizing forces threatening the U.K.
Among the uncertainties unleashed by the Brexit referendum, which early Friday morning heralded the United Kingdom's coming breakup with the European Union, was what happens to the "union" of the United Kingdom itself. Ahead of the vote, marquee campaign themes included, on the "leave" side, the question of the U.K.'s sovereignty within the European Union—specifically its ability to control migration—and, on the "remain" side, the economic benefits of belonging to the world's largest trading bloc, as well as the potentially catastrophic consequences of withdrawing from it. Many of the key arguments on either side concerned the contours of the U.K.-EU relationship, and quite sensibly so. "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?" was, after all, the precise question people were voting on.
Demographic data shows that a Briton's education level may be the strongest indication of how he or she voted.
Britain has voted to leave the European Union. The news surprised many people, including the British, who have learned that while brushing off early statistical warnings is tempting, it doesn't make it any easier when those warnings turn out to be right. Give yourselves a break, I say: Polls are fickle, anecdote is limited, and prevailing wisdom is sometimes impossible to shake. (Though these remorseful Brexit voters don't have an excuse.)
There's a silver lining for statistics, however. With the close of Britain's referendum, political analysts now have a concrete dataset to examine: the actual vote totals in the United Kingdom. This data, when matched with regional demographic information from the U.K. Census, gives insight into who actually voted to leave or remain.
Shedding pounds is usually a losing battle—research suggests it's better to just focus on building a healthy lifestyle.
"My own history of yo-yo dieting started when I was 15 and lasted about three decades," said Sandra Aamodt, a neuroscientist and the author of Why Diets Make Us Fat, at the Aspen Ideas Festival on Saturday. "I lost the same 15 pounds pretty much every year during that same period, and gained it back regular as clockwork."
This is a classic tale—the diet that doesn't take, the weight loss that comes right back. The most recent, extreme, highly publicized case was that of the study done on contestants from the reality show The Biggest Loser, most of whom, six years after losing 100 to 200 pounds, had gained most of it back, and had significantly slowed metabolisms.
The study provided a dramatic example of how the body fights against weight loss. And sheer force of will is rarely sufficient to fight back.
Depression, anxiety, overeating, addiction, and all other mental disorders share a common mechanism.
The U.K.'s vote to leave the European Union betrays a failure of empathy and imagination among its leaders. Will America's political establishment fare any better?
If there is a regnant consensus among the men and women who steer the Western world, it is this: The globe is flattening. Borders are crumbling. Identities are fluid. Commerce and communications form the warp and woof, weaving nations into the tight fabric of a global economy. People are free to pursue opportunity, enriching their new homes culturally and economically. There may be painful dislocations along the way, but the benefits of globalization heavily outweigh its costs. And those who cannot see this, those who would resist it, those who would undo it—they are ignorant of their own interests, bigoted, xenophobic, and backward.
So entrenched is this consensus that, for decades, in most Western democracies, few mainstream political parties have thought to challenge it. They have left it to the politicians on the margins of the left and the right to give voice to such sentiments—and voicing such sentiments relegated politicians to the margins of political life.
What if columnists wrote about the U.K. the way they do about the Middle East?
London, Britain. June 2016.
You can learn everything you need to know about the EU referendum in the United Kingdom by talking to just two people in London: the taxi driver and the millennial entrepreneur-type person. They've never met—the taxi driver doesn't hang out in trendy places and the millennial entrepreneur-type person uses Uber instead of traditional London cabs—but by talking to each for 10 minutes I gathered enough quotes to allow me to write knowledgeably about this debate that has inflamed passions on this small island. And I'm confident to declare that the hatreds underlying the debate are too deep-rooted for the United Kingdom—an arbitrary amalgamation of tribes that have existed in tension for centuries—to remain united.
The common definition of "clean" might be detrimental to our skin.

Multiple, pigmented, verrucous, cutaneous lesions in a 2-year-old female cat were pathologically examined. The lesions were linearly arranged on the right side of the body, and had developed along with moderate pruritus since infancy. Histologically, prominent exophytic, papillomatous outgrowths of the epidermis and acanthosis with intense ortho and parakeratotic hyperkeratosis were characteristic of the lesions. Dermal inflammation with mononuclear cells, neutrophils, and eosinophils was also noted. Inclusion bodies, cellular degeneration, and intranuclear viral particles suggesting papillomavirus infection in the keratinocytes were not observed. Papillomavirus antigen and DNA were not detected in the lesions by immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction, respectively. In accordance with these clinical and histopathological features, the cutaneous lesions of the present cat were diagnosed as epidermal nevi, which were consistent with human inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevi.

Just Another Fruity Smelling CreamFor almost $20 a jar, I expected a cream that would at least TRY to deliver. The name of this product shouldn't be "Iron Curl"; it should be "Fruity Cream". It didn't make my press any better and it didn't combat frizziness nor humidity. Luckily I was able to return it and exchange it for something else. Don't waste your hard-earned money on this.

In 1987, he joined the department of Computer Science & Mathematics at the United Arab Emirates University for five years before he moved to the American University of Beirut (AUB) in 1992 where he was promoted to the rank of full professor. He chaired and practically founded the Computer Science Department there.
Prof. Nasri has been involved in the evolution of Fahd bin Sultan University since its inception. He was among the facts finding team who initially visited the University (named at that time Tabuk College) before FBSU signed the technical assistance agreement with the American University of Beirut. He was also a member of the AUB consultant team who first visited the National College of Science and Technology in Salalah, which evolved into Dhofar University in Salalah, Oman. Prof. Nasri served as an AUB consultant on several projects.
Prof. Nasri published numerous journal and conference proceedings papers in the field of computer graphics and its applications in 3D geometric modeling, industry, education, and in digital arts. He is a member of editorial board of several journals in Computer Graphics, and a member of the board of directors of the Lebanese National Council for Scientific Research.
Dr. Nasri is an expert in a number of EU funded projects in Information Technology such as Digiarts, Join-MED and MED-IST. He was also the Co-Rapporteur of the Committee that established the Scientific and Technology Innovation Policy (STIP) in Lebanon with the help of UNESCO and ESCWA.
At the international level, Dr. Nasri was a research visitor in various universities such as MIT, Arizona State University, Brigham Young University, Purdue University, the University of Calgary in Canada, the University of Cambridge in UK, the National University of Seoul in South Korea, the Hong Kong City University, the University of Tokyo in Japan, Calgary University, and more recently Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
Prof. Nasri served and continues to serve as a member of the Program Committee of several international conferences where he deliveres talks and tutorial courses. He was invited as a keynote speaker in some of these conferences, most recently the Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling 2012, Dijon, France, which is sponsored by SIAM and ACM Siggraph. He participated in many research projects in the field of computer graphics. More details about his scientific contributions can be found on his web site at:

Making 'Em Sweat
Last night, the Minnesota Twins look for all the world to be headed to another disappointing loss on the road. Down 5-2 after five innings, Carl Pavano was getting beat by the long ball and the bats weren't doing much of anything (besides grounding to Lyle Overbay, that is).
However, that is when the bats started to heat up:
Not only did it take back-to-back jacks from Morneau and Kubel to jump back into the game, but big hits were also needed from Mauer (dinger), and doubles by Thome and Delmon Young (who finished the game 3-3) since the pen kept serving up the meatballs.
As much as everyone is worried about the Twins right now, I think that our hitting is what it is and we aren't going to change anything. If we continue to trot out a Span-O-Dawg-Mauer-Morneau-Cuddy-Kubes-Big D-Big Jim-JJ lineup, we'll score runs:
If it doesn't, then we probably just don't deserve to make the playoffs anyway, so why worry? Thus, are biggest area of improvement will be pitching. Cliff Lee would be huge, but enough so to mortage away guys like Wilson Ramos and Aaron Hicks? At this point, I would have to say yes. With that kind of potent lineup day in and day out, we may actually have a chance to take on the mighty Yanks in the playoffs this year (one always has to assume that the AL road to the World Series runs through the Big Apple), but not without a few pitchers to hold back their firepower. Sending Lee, Liriano, and Pavano/Slowey/Baker/Blackie to the mound would give as at least a fair shake against their big bats, I think, though of course nothing is guaranteed.
Another key…more pictures like this:
-Too bad Delmon Young won't win the Final Vote balloting, but Kevin Youkilis probably deserves it. Just as long as Swish doesn't make it…man I hate that guy!
Preview (45-38, 2nd, 0.5 GB DET): Kevin Slowey (8-5, 4.57) vs. Marc Rzepczynski (0-0, 0.00). The Tigers needed some late-inning heroics to preserve their division lead last night, so let's keep the pressure on. I don't want to be two games back heading into Comerica this weekend.

"Final Judgment," Night 1. It sounds so biblical, as if Tartarus would open up beneath unsuccessful auditioners' feet, when really, the only thing opening up for them is oodles of YouTube hits, name recognition and the consolation prize of getting potential future front-runner status like Baylie and Colton. But never mind that–judgment! Smoke! Spotlights! Dramatic walks! The hardest eliminations ever, except for the upcoming ones! Leaping right into snippets of "yesterday's performances" that made us hit Google in a writer's panic, sure we missed an episode and a recap.
We did not miss an episode and a recap. We did, however, miss out on about 10 potential breakout moments, both good and horrifying. This is where we'll point out that the useless drama-night episode could've been scuttled to show us full performances and make our ranking more useful than individual note analysis; this is also when we'll move on to get to…
38. Jennifer Lopez: If it's fair for Jennifer to make fun of Erika's weight, it's fair for us to make fun of Jennifer for skinning a endangered sequin crocodile.
37. Holding Room: "After hearing the good news, she headed down to celebrate with the rest of the holding room" –Ryan. Contestants love NOTHING more than celebrating their decreased odds!
36. Caleb Johnson: A "rocker," in the sense that blatantly screwing up on stage, looking like Elton and saying "Can I start over? I think I messed up… Yay? Nay? Can I get some water?" is rock, which is to say–no sense. Equally senseless: Idol not making this a big, dramatic moment.
35. This Numerical Quote: "With five singers through already, spots are starting to fill up!" In related breaking news, with 25 minutes in, we have 95 minutes to go!
34. This Other Numerical Quote: "Tonight, the competition shrinks from 42 to 24." False. Tomorrow, the competition shrinks to 24. Tonight, we were lied to.
33. Blaire Sieber: Actual conversation on Twitter, well before the show:
Blaire: I hope Nigel recognizes the great performer in me and shows my song!
Nigel: Sorry.
Us: Not cool. (This was not part of the conversation before. It is now.)
32. Reed Grimm: Oh, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing, and bop bop bop-myself-on-the-head sputter twitter sputter elsihuktesjt gimmick contestants quirky charm typecasting obvious songs "I think that… with the drums… I think that showed more of… my drumming… and playing… abilities…" Steven looking for a singer and Reed is that singer and somehow nobody said "adorkable" and everything I just typed was more coherent than a typical Reed Grimm performance. Was Ryan's "turning him over to America" comment a challenge? Please accept it.
31. Creighton Fraker: Sang "What a Wonderful World" and "New York State of Mind" except chipmunked like a motherfuckeeeeer, with Slinky-like melisma, and with a large gulp at the end of the latter. But don't worry–he has a "rock and roll background," which means he wears purple goggles sometimes. (This is also Steven Tyler's rock and roll present.) He sings like his name sounds. It's not bad, exactly; it'd just lose a quirk-off to Reed and a sing-off to anyone else.

Fencers Set for Day of Dual Meets at Sacred Heart
Before taking a break from competition until the stakes raise in February, the Princeton fencing teams will head for a day of dual meets at Sacred Heart in Connecticut Sunday.
The Tigers will face Sacred Heart at 10 a.m., NYU at 11 a.m., Vassar at 1:30 p.m. and Penn State at 2:30 p.m.
The lid-lifter for the Tigers came two weekends ago, when Princeton competed at back-to-back dual-meet events, first at Columbia and then at Penn. Between the two days, the men's program won three of four duals, while the women went 4-0. Columbia, NJIT, Stevens, Penn and Ohio State represented the competition at those two duals, bringing a fresh set of foes for the Tigers at the Sacred Heart meet.
Princeton's women bring a 22-match win streak in dual meets into the Sacred Heart event, with the team's last loss coming Feb. 2, 2013 to Ohio State.
Following the meet, the Tigers will be away from competition until February, when Princeton will open the month with its annual visit to Northwestern for two days of duals, with the Ivy meet quick to follow Feb. 8-9.

Educational Opportunities
Oh, the days when your single SEG was the moon and the stars, when the HR department would practically gift-wrap new members for you…well, those days are gone. Credit unions have to understand that if they want to grow, they'll have to build and nurture those business relationships. If you don't knock on doors, you won't get new SEGs. If you don't tend to the SEGs you have, you'll lose those, too. Join us for the NEW SEGs, New Members, New Growth Telecourse on July 12 (Session Code: 605) for a thorough discussion on credit union business development, working your SEGs and preparing for real growth.
The Due Dilligence - Interacting with Your Members QuickBites on July 18 (Session Code: 607) will focus on finding the folks that your company owes unclaimed property to and reuniting them so that you don't have to file as many unclaimed property reports. We will review the statutory and regulatory requirements of the states, what information you should be collecting, how to create an effective due diligence program, creating a due diligence letter and alternative resources for finding property owners when you know that you have bad addresses.
The ALM & Interest Rate Risk face to face session at the ICU System Center in Naperville on July 25 (Session Code: 610) will include ALM 101 Introduction to Interest Rate Risk, ALM 201 Managing Interest Rate Risk, Interest Rate Risk Policy and NCUA's New IRR Regulation taking effect Sept. 30, 2012.
"Never trust anyone over 30." If that popular movie line is correct, how can credit unions reach anyone under 30? For credit unions to survive in the future, they must successfully market to the 18-35 year old age segment. Information about one of the most misunderstood groups of people - the Dot-Com Generation – will be presented at the Why Y - Tactics to Reach Gen Y QuickBites on July 26 (Session Code: 608). This session will provide:
"The ability to use a smartphone to replace your credit card has been in place in Asia and Europe for years. As this trend gains momentum in the United States, what does your credit union need to know about the technology, the key players, and what your members are expecting to be able to do with it?" Learn more at Google Wallet & You: A Mobile Payment System Strategy QuickBites on July 31 (Session Code: 609).
Asset/Liability Management ratios can be complex and overwhelming, yet credit unions need ratios to analyze the past and make decisions for the future. The numerous software packages available provide a variety of ratios and produce stacks of reports yet the results may be overwhelming. Your credit union's decision makers need concise information to make sound decisions. Looking ahead to next month, the ALM - 11 Key Ratios You Should Know telecourse on August 2 (Session Code: 618) will begin with the goals of asset/liability management. It will then address eleven primary ratios that identify and analyze critical areas of operation including capital, asset quality, and earnings. Each ratio includes a definition, a formula for calculating the ratio, the desired outcome, and the impact factors of each. This enables participants to analyze performance on a monthly basis and adjust strategies as needed to insure the credit union's safety and soundness. Great session for your board!
Bank Secrecy Act training is available on demand! The Bank Secrecy Act requires that all frontline personnel be trained on money laundering and the responsibilities of the financial institutions on currency reporting and suspicious activity every year. See the ICUL education calendar for the schedule of BSA on demand training and all QuickBites and Telecourses.
Also now available on demand for 2012: Financial Exploitation of the Elderly. Elder abuse training – regarding financial exploitation of the elderly -- is now required for employees and officers with direct customer contact. Examiners will be collecting information about your credit union's training on this subject, as IDFPR is required to report training data on a bi-annual basis. This QuickBite will meet the training requirements and will cover:
All credit unions face situations where only they have an opportunity to witness suspected exploitation. Participate in this QuickBite to learn the common indicators and the actions you can take.
Play it again! The audio archive of all QuickBites and telecourses for 2012 has been increased to 60 days with paid registrations for most sessions. Whether you were unavailable for the scheduled date and time of a particular call or just want to hear the session again, you will have 24/7 access for the entire 60 days after the scheduled session. This feature enhances the value of audio training and is included for no additional charge. The audio archive link will be activated within 48 hours of the live event.

"Criminal Minds" season 9 continues next week with episode 15, "Mr. & Mrs. Anderson," for which CBS released a new sneak peek on Thursday, Feb. 13.
In this next "Criminal Minds" episode, the BAU investigates several murders in Pittsburgh, and this time, they're looking for a pair of UnSubs working as a team. (The title of the episode alone does hint at that.) Meanwhile, Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) and Morgan (Shemar Moore) share their Valentine's Day plans for their respective significant others, Sam (Stephen Simon) and Savannah (Rochelle Aytes).
It's that personal storyline that's the focus of the "Mr. & Mrs. Anderson" sneak peek above, as Garcia explains that while she's crazy about Sam – "I like him like him like him," she says – she does wish he was more of the "take-charge type of guy." For example, she planned their Valentine's Day, and when she texted him about it, he replied, "Sounds great. Octopus emoticon." (We're not sure about that either.) Morgan helpfully points out that guys are terrible with subtlety and that she should just tell him what she wants. Plus, check out a second sneak peek to get a look at JJ's (AJ Cook) return to work here.
"Criminal Minds" season 9 airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on CBS. What do you think of this episode 15 "Mr. & Mrs. Anderson" clip?

This one is going to be a bit complicated, as I am having trouble explaining it to myself. So, I have two requests of you. One is to bear with my while I make this journey, and the other is that you help me refine my message through comment. My point is this, beware of the purity tests. They don't help, and more often than not lead to disastrous results.
We need well rounded leaders who are intelligent and articulate on a wide range of issues, and who mostly represent what we stand for. Unfortunately and fortunately, we are not an homogeneous group. Conservatism has many forms, and many different schools of thought. We have among our numbers, social conservatives, fiscal conservatives, libertarians, neoconservatives, hawks, free marketeers, and sorry to any of the other constituent groups that I may have missed. Each of us has our very own and personal reasons for supporting candidates who reside on the right side of the aisle. Each of us feels his or her very own sense of passion as to why we support what we do. Through our own prisms, we tend to see the world, and have precious little tolerance for the others in our coalition. This, lack of tolerance for others on our own side played as much of a role in our electoral shellackings recently as any other cause.
I am not advocating for capitulation on our principles, just some common sense when applying those principles. At some point in time, getting more right than wrong will have to become ample reason to support a candidate who is running against someone who is more wrong than right. Every time a purity test is applied on a particular candidate, we run the risk of shooting ourselves in the foot, and I say this being just as angry as the rest of you with watching the likes of Olympia Snow, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins stab us in the back politically every chance that pops up. (Let's not forget that Olympia Snowe's lone vote made it possible for the Obamacare abomination to be passed. Her stated reason for stabbing us all in the back was that the time was right for her to be a part of history.) But, for every Olympia Snowe, I can also point to a Todd Aiken, a politician who is conservative on one issue only, and has no clue on any ground away from that one issue.
Purity tests to determine support on one issue, or to eliminate a candidate on the basis of one issue have never produced positive results. No one of us will see the perfect candidate who matches everything we believe individually come along. The odds are even worse that a magic candidate will come along who will satisfy the requirements of all of us collectively. Such a person does not exist, and what's more, if they did exist, we probably should not trust them anyhow. That would mean that there'd be a whole lot of pandering going on. Staying home because a particular candidate did not have the exact position on one particular issue that you may use as your litmus test will insure that we never rid ourselves of the ever expanding federal behemoth inflicted upon us by the Leftists, who are more than willing to prostitute their values in order to form their coalition.
Elections have consequences. Even during the years in which we have seen the most successful third party candidates, our President has been from one of the two prevailing major parties of the time. The same can be said of control of the Senate and the House. With all of our talk about being angry with the Republican Party, the plain and simple fact is that if the GOP does not take back the Senate, Keep the House, and win the Presidency over the next four years, the Democrats will have control of those various organs of government. If your goal is to lodge a protest and allow the disaster to happen, because America needs to continue learning this lesson, I can not get on that bandwagon. I refuse to root for continued damage to our national fabric and more hardship for my fellow citizen in order to prove a point, or even in order to help win future elections.
The primaries are designed for infighting, afterwards is better served with unity. Let's be respectful of the other voices we hear though, we are going to need them all later on down the road. What the Democrats have become really adept at is to create small issues that would help them secure 3% to 5% of the voters, delivered in blocks of people who are really passionate about those things. With 5 to 6 of those added to their base, they can reach their coalition of 51% and claim that they have a mandate to push their entire agenda forward. The danger of course is the backlash of what happens when they do misread their mandate, as happened in 2010. What the Republicans are really good at is to take the center right coalition that they have naturally, and to anger groups of 3% to 5% of their coalition with these incredibly arbitrary litmus tests. All it takes is a subtraction of 6% of voters from the 55% of people who self identify as conservative, and you have reduced yourself to the losing end of a 51% to 49%, "landslide."
Pulling defeat from the jaws of victory is the ever enduring hall mark of the Republican Party.
Special Note: I am not considering the Paulbats to be victims of any litmus testing that went on. The shenanigans that they pulled at various caucuses during the primaries and what they attempted to pull off during the convention was plainly wrong. While many claim that by not listening to them, we caused them to not feel welcome in our coalition, this misses the mark of reality completely. The fact is, these people were never part of our coalition to begin with. They were never voters from the right, and are never going to be. They were there to vote for Ron Paul, or no one. This has always been the case, and further, it always will be the case. What they attempted to do at the convention was to hold up Romney's nomination, and instill their own man instead, even though he was clearly not the choice of well over 90% of the people who bothered to vote in the primaries. When their attempts to subvert the will of the voters failed, they stomped their feet and declared that they would never support anyone but Ron Paul. The dirty little secret is that they would have done this, no matter who the nominee turned out to be. What's worse, is that they were bragging about their attempts to subvert the will of the Republican voters in on line forums before the convention took place. They were very vocal about how they were going to take over the convention no matter who won the majority of delegates and secure the nomination for their man. This essay was about the dangers of telling the Right to Life crowd to settle down and be silent, telling the Second Amendment crowd to just accept the infringements upon their right to carry guns, or telling the free marketeers to be silent when a Presidential candidate supposedly on our side proposes an indexed minimum wage scale. It is also about people from the aforementioned groups using their singular issues as a litmus test before pulling the lever or not pulling the lever without considering the alternative, for example a second Barack Obama term in office. After all, how do you believe Barack Obama will affect right to life, our Second Amendment Rights, or how will he impact our free market system?

Illinois Medicaid cuts fall short of projected savings
Savings from cuts to the Illinois Medicaid program have fallen short by $464 million, about 30 percent of the expected $1.6 billion in projected savings that Gov. Pat Quinn pushed for last year. In the first public report on how cuts to the health care safety-net program are being carried out, Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services Director Julie Hamos detailed the actual savings of cost-cutting measures so far.
Repairing a long-term deficit in the Medicaid program was a top legislative priority for Quinn. Last June, the Chicago Democrat signed a multilayered package of cuts and taxes, known as the SMART Act, including a cigarette-tax increase of $1 per pack. Some cuts have gone as planned, such as dropping Medicaid coverage for thousands of working parents and eliminating coverage of dental care and visits to chiropractors for adults. Hamos said that it takes time to implement a large effort to check the eligibility of 2.7 million Medicaid recipients. Her new estimate for savings from the eligibility crackdown is $150 million for this year.
Another obstacle to achieving all the projected cuts: The federal government denied permission to carry out some planned cuts that would have changed the way people are deemed to be eligible for nursing home care, preventing savings of several million dollars.

A Mercury boilerplate capsule was launched on a flawless test on 24 March. If NASA had overruled Von Braun, the manned Freedom 7 capsule would have flown instead. Shepard would have been the first man in space (though not in orbit), beating Gagarin's flight by three weeks.

NOFX formed in Los Angeles back in 1983, a helluva year for new bands and one that gave birth to Alcatrazz, Trixter, White Lion, and any number of bands that are completely defunct and irrelevant in this day and age. That alone says something about NOFX's enduring popularity. Maybe they lasted this long because they were forged in the same fiery furnaces of the L.A. hardcore scene that gave us Bad Religion, Suicidal Tendencies, Germs and Descendents. NOFX sharpened their teeth in that tumultuous talent pool until they joined forces with Epitaph in 1989 and went on to release a string of crucial punk records. Their first major breakthrough came in the form of 1990's Ribbed, still a fan favorite, followed up by now-classics White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean and Punk in Drublic, the latter selling well over a million copies. That was a wildly successful decade for NOFX as the band popularized the Warped Tour and was the flagship band for the skate/surf/snow culture of the 1990's.
Now on Fat Mike's own label, Fat Wreck Chords, their third decade was even more fruitful, which again speaks to NOFX's indomitable longevity. The band's decade-long ban on doing the mainstream press and media was lifted as they sought to actively share their dissent for the Bush Administration and speak out against the invasion of Iraq. And once the floodgates were open, NOFX and their "Rock Against Bush" movement were everywhere: Newsweek, Rolling Stone, New York Times, Howard Stern, and network television. All that high profile interest and hype was reflected in the success of their 2003 record, The War on Errorism, which was the #1 independent record in the country at the time if its release and topped Billboard's Indie chart. The NOFX full-length, Self Entitled, released on September 11th, 2012 is their 12th studio record. A return to their aggressive roots, the 12 tracks embrace the hostile early LA punk sound while maintaining the trademark technical and melodic sound that NOFX is renowned for. The band then released a couple 7"'s including Xmas has been X'ed and Stoke Extinguisher all while filming the follow up to their beloved series, Backstage Passport.
While Backstage Passport two isn't quite ready to air-we're pleased to offer the official Backstage Passport Soundtrack to the masses on December 9th! Packed with 15 tracks from both seasons, the Backstage Passport Soundtrack is a one-stop shop for all the rare, remixed, and unreleased material that folks could only previously enjoy as snippets during the show. There is little question about what has separated NOFX as an enduring force in independent music, and more specifically, as an institution in the punk scene for so long. Their hallmark sound and style matched with their ability to keep things fresh is unparalleled among their peers.

Have some happy news for a change; aerogel made from recycled paper
Subject: General Tech | February 10, 2016 - 05:51 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: aerogel, nifty
With the depressing news about security holes below the fold it seemed appropriate to post something positive before you get depressed about PDFs, fonts and other such things. This morning Slashdot posted just such a story, researchers have managed to turn recycled paper into an aerogel. Aerogels are a relatively new substance, usually created with silica, metals or polymers and are incredibly light, amazing insulators and often have other arcane usages. Recycled paper might not seem a likely substance to form an insulator, however the polymer resin coated cellulose aerogel still retains that common property. It is also capable of absorbing up to 90 times its dry weight in spilled oil while completely excluding water, and to allow for the recovery of 99% of that oil for use again.
"A team of scientists have successfully turned paper waste into aerogel. Aerogels are used in insulation, and they are usually made out of polymers and silica. But a research team at the National University of Singapore managed to make the highly sought-after product using recycled paper ..."

On-die watercooling
Subject: General Tech | October 7, 2015 - 05:06 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: watercooling, nifty
These researchers are skipping the waterblock altogether and have made channels in surface of the die its self for de-ionized water to flow through and cool the chip. The 28-nanometer Altera FPGA they tested this cooling method on had numerous channels cut into it which were then sealed up with a layer of silicon. With a flow rate of 147 ml/minute they kept the chip to a comfortable 24C, a mere 4C higher than the temperature of the water and significantly lower than the 60C the chip would run at using air cooling. Neither Hack a Day nor PCPer encourage you to try to cut micron sized channels in your brand new processor, however we all hope to see this cooling technique incorporated into heatspreaders in future generations of processors.
"Researchers at Georgia Tech have been working on cutting fluid channels directly into the back of commercial silicon die (an Altera FPGA, to be exact). The tiny channels measure about 100 micron and are resealed with another layer of silicon. Water is pumped into the channels to cool the device efficiently."

Kids these days and their Raspberry Pi's
Subject: General Tech | August 27, 2015 - 06:14 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nifty, Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi and its various flavours have been out for a while now and we have heard of a variety of projects developers and hobbyists have come up with but this story from The Register has them all beat. With a little Googling and a lot of creativity and inspiration there are kids out there creating all sorts of new uses for the little device. One 11 year old was a little worried about her Grampa and used a Pi along with PHP and HTML to pair a device with a webpage which can bring up a web browser for him, allow simple texting capabilities and to photos to make sure he is still OK. Others have created a scanner to keep track of scores in netball or to make sure that the sushi they grab from a restaurant's conveyor belt isn't getting too old. Give kids a chance to create and what they come up with will blow you away.
"Completely at home with Raspberry Pis, these kids Google around for the things they don't know how to do - because when you're 11, you don't know what you can't do. They are inventing the future, and for them it's just child's play."

Windows Server 2012 R2, now featuring a clipboard shared across VMs
Subject: General Tech | September 6, 2013 - 05:26 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: servers, windows server 2012 R2, microsoft, nifty, RDMA
If you play with VM's in a Windows environment you have probably gotten quite good at using FTP as that was the easiest way to copy files or even text between two or more of your virtual machines. No more will you need to do that as the new version of Windows Server will have a shared clipboard allowing you to copy and paste not just text but also files between your VMs. They will still limit you to 64 virtual CPUs but they did add Remote Direct Memory Access which offers a huge boost in speed to your machines and for doing live migrations. Check out more at The Register.
"If you want to see a TechEd audience break into spontaneous applause – and here I am one-hundred-percent serious – give them something that they really care about. Like a shared clipboard. The people running virtual servers really did interrupt Benjamin Armstrong, Microsoft Hyper-V program manager, to applaud the simple act of being able to cut and paste text or files between VMs."

Could you actually do 'work' on a Shield?
Subject: General Tech | August 30, 2013 - 07:54 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: shield, nvidia, nifty, microsoft, grid vca, byod
Remember NVIDIA's Shield, that game streaming device Ryan was playing with at QuakeCon but which doesn't seem to fit the role of just a gaming device since it can harness the power of other nearby NVIDIA GPUs? The Register is proposing a rather interesting usage scenario for the Shield by using the GRID VCA technology which is the basis of communications with NVIDA's servers and virtualized GPUs, which is also happens to function well with many of the virtualization programs currently in use.
When they saw Windows games being played on a Shield at VM World they realized that there would be nothing impossible about providing Office 365 as a service if you were running Server 2012 with RemoteFX installed. With HDMI out you can have the monitor of your choice and the Bluetooth capability means you can support a keyboard and mouse and suddenly you have the coolest thinclient on the block. In fact you might even be able to sit near a server with several Tesla cards installed and run CAD programs if someone could figure out how to stream a CAD program to the Shield.
Or you could just game at work.
"Some grumble that the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) concept deserves to be called Spend Your Own Money in recognition of the cost of providing a computer hitting workers' hip pockets instead of employers'.
Such grumbles may be less sustainable now that NVIDIA's $US299 SHIELD portable gaming console can run Windows applications."

We currently have Sharepoint installed for our Intranet. We use ISA Server to expose it to the outside for certain users. These two access points use different domain names.
The problem is that we have a links page that has links to other systems that we do NOT expose to the outside world. So when users click on these links when accessing from the outside, they get 404 errors.
What I'd like to do is present my outside users with a different links page depending on whether they access the portal from the outside, or internally.
Is this possible?
Just to clarify, it's the same group of users logging in from both inside and outside. I want to filter content based on the entry point to the portal, not the user or group.

Navy head coach Stefanie Pemper and senior Erin Edwards accepting the Patriot League Women's Basketball championship trophy.
March 20, 2012
By Bill Wagner
Two nights before Navy hosted Colgate in the quarterfinals of the Patriot League Tournament, head coach Stefanie Pemper was in Maine attending a high school basketball game. It was Senior Night for one of Navy's top incoming recruits and Pemper thought it was important to be there in-person.
That tidbit helps explain why Navy women's basketball has enjoyed unprecedented success in the brief four-year tenure of Pemper and why most believe bigger and better things are on the horizon.
Pemper has already proven she can get maximum performance out of a team by teaching sound fundamentals in practice and drawing up sharp Xs and Os during games. Now that Navy has captured consecutive Patriot League championships and made back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Tournament, the talent level within the program is certain to improve.
Standing outside the visiting locker room in a corridor of the Comcast Center on Saturday afternoon following a first-round loss to host Maryland in the NCAA Tournament, Pemper was upbeat about the future of Navy women's basketball — and for good reason. The Midshipmen return four starters and their top four reserves.

The 15 member Texas State Board of Education has ended a torturous and heated debate and has submitted its final social studies curriculum draft. This event happens every ten years and influences what goes into and gets left out of many of the nation's textbooks. The heat generated this year is no different from previous Texas Essential Knowledge (TEKS) adoptions and it will not be the last, unfortunately.
The Texas Tribune has a guide of the proposed changes to the high school TEKS standards for Social Studies. For background and up to date information, go to the Texas Education Agency site.
According to a March Rasmussen poll, 60% of Americans with children in elementary or secondary schools say that school textbooks emphasize political correctness over accuracy. The public thinks that political correctness is trumping important facts about our country. The nitpicking in the TEKS negotiations shows how easily public school students are influenced by any special interest, essential knowledge can and does get lost in the negotiations. Every differing opinion has a point; people and events are left out and feelings are hurt. But, is the end product acceptable when appeasement and consensus is the goal?
The end product we should be seeking is clear evidence that students are learning about our country. The test results seem to reflect the notion that the right information is not being taught to the students. What is not clear, however, is if it is due only to the standards, the textbooks, the teachers, or a combination of all of the above. An article in the Dallas Morning News last December reported that about only 60% of Texas high school students are passing the new end of course (EOC) tests. Specifically, 12th graders in 2009 averaged 52% on the U.S. History EOC test. The new EOC tests will not be mandatory until the 2011-2012 school year and the results will probably be scaled. But, the low test scores are generally accurate for past established tests as well. The 2009 TAKS test (the test that will be phased out and replaced with the EOC tests), show only 62% of 12th graders met the Social Studies standards.
Maybe reducing America's history, geography, economics, and current events to a thematic mishmash under the broad umbrella of "social studies" is not the best way to organize the education of our students. Perhaps, we'd avoid such important culture clashes about whether to include hip-hop or country music in our state standards if we had a sharp focus in each of those important areas. There must be some objective way to view and teach history, even if it is uncomfortable or leaves some hurt feelings.

Junior setter Kasey Kavanaugh
Sept. 13, 2012
Box Score | 2012 Pirate Tournament Central
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Nicole Willis registered her team-leading fifth double-double of the season as East Carolina battled Marshall in a tough 3-1 loss (19-25, 21-25, 25-23, 16-25) in the opening match of the Pirate Invitational.
Willis tied for a match-high with 16 kills and notched 17 digs in the setback. The junior from Raleigh, N.C., added three block assists and 17.5 points for East Carolina (1-9, 0-1 C-USA). Senior Kelly Derby dominated at the net as she put up nine total blocks to help limit Marshall (9-4, 1-0 C-USA) to a .167 hitting percentage. Derby also contributed seven kills and a .429 attack percentage in the match. Shelby Beasley controlled the ball defensively for ECU tallying 22 digs, while Kasey Kavanaugh was solid at setter with 32 assists, nine digs, six block assists, and three kills on the night.
The Pirates played with grit and determination as they posted 11 kills in the first set and exchanged leads with the Thundering Herd three times before dropping the set, 25-19.
Despite the loss in the first set, the Pirates refused to back down and began game two with three consecutive points on a service error by Marshall followed by a pair of kills from Willis. The Herd rallied to tie the game at six, but East Carolina pushed ahead and took a 9-6 lead on a kill by freshman Torre Blake. Marshall would not quit and continued to even the score, before it took the lead for good on a Pirate miscue (14-13). The visitors would go on to earn a win in set two by a margin of 25-21.
Although East Carolina was down two sets to none, the Pirates continued their hard-nosed style of play in the third set and out-hit Marshall .344-.158. The third frame was a back-and-forth affair which saw 16 ties and seven lead changes. With the set knotted at 23-23, the Pirates knocked down two points to best the Thundering Herd, 25-23.
After forcing a game four, the Pirates were first to get on the board as they took advantage of a Thundering Herd service error. However, the lead was short-lived as Marshall quickly jumped ahead by five (10-5) forcing an ECU timeout. The break in action did not stop the Herd as they bounded ahead and took the fourth and final set, 25-16.
Marshall had a pair of players collect a double-double in the match as Katy Schad compiled 16 kills and 14 digs, while Sammie Bane accounted for 45 assists and 12 digs.
The Pirate Invitational will continue Friday, Sept. 14, at 4 p.m. with Marshall going head-to-head with Coastal Carolina, followed by East Carolina playing host to UMBC at 7 p.m.

I few months ago, I had a bar-b-cue at my house and invited the Internet to come over. It was the afternoon before GnomeDex and I wasn't sure what I was getting into. I didn't write about it much then, but the results were incredible and I hope others will do similar events. It all stated with the guys at Bryght, who planned to come over that afternoon. I offered a BBQ and someone mentioned that I should have something for other folks coming into town. I accepted the offer and, on a whim... Continue Reading
Spam has been around for a lot longer than computers or email, but we've gotten used to it. Ever since I had a real world mailbox, it's been filled with spam every day. A percentage of my phone calls are spam. Some might even say that billboards on the side of a highway are some sort of road spam, or maybe not. Mailbox spam is expensive. It wastes resources to print all those brochures that I just recycle immediately (which takes time). Phone spam costs a little of my time and there... Continue Reading
Peter Grondal was the guy that you saw in this position throughout GnomeDex and the BBQ: He got some great footage from lots of interesting people and it's now online for your viewing pleasure. Check out the videos. Thanks for getting this out there Peter, and for coming to the BBQ!
As you might have seen, I put a call out to anyone interested in coming to my house for a pre-GnomeDex BBQ. Thankfully, it turned out better than I could have imagined. People seemed to have a great time and the folks that showed up still have me in a bit of awe. It was so very cool to meet so many folks I admire (and lots of new people too), in my own backyard. Oh, and big thanks to Boris for the Mann-ing the grill (I know, bad pun). Check out the photo set on Flickr, where I've been using... Continue Reading

My wife and I have been making an effort to move away from the TV. The winter weather in Seattle makes it easy to sit in front of the tube and eat Cheetos all day- which we both agree is a bad, bad thing.

I think we'll have a laptop with a wireless Internet connection in our immediate vicinity from now on. This sets us up for an experiment using wikis in... Continue Reading
Last night my wife Sachiko and I were talking about a trip we're thinking of taking in the next couple of years. As we talked over the evening, it became a brainstroming session on all the things we needed to remember, manage, discuss, archive, etc. After a little while, I said "Hey, what if we had an online place to keep all this information?" Sachiko's first words were, "We could use a wiki!" All I could think was- I love this girl.
A few weeks ago I posted a note about photos from our recent nuptials. Soon after, I notice the entry getting traffic and see that Google is pointing people to it. //--> Then I notice that somehow, at least for now, the entry is at the #2 position in a search for wedding pictures(search results- may change). I cannot imagine how many sites there are devoted to that subject or how my site gets the #2 position. This is telling me that there is a google-niche here that needs to be filled... Continue Reading
Folks, if you're interested, I've been posting a run-down and photos and stories from the wedding at LeeLeFever.com. Update: Wedding day and reception here, here and here.
I awoke this morning to find my Internet service was down. Historically this has been a complete pain, as it was never easy enough to find out if it was a system wide problem or something local about my service or set-up. Eventually I called Comcast, entered my phone number within 2-3 button pushes. The next message was- "We are experiencing service outages in your area, if you would like to receive a phone call when service is restored, please press 1". So, I accepted the offer for the call...

The days when love was still in style
All I ever dreamed I'd be
Is what you are to me bigger than Elvis
And for all the missing years
A memory reappears bigger than Elvis
I saw you on TV, the king you were to me
Could you feel me watching you?
At times my heart got mad
Only heroes are allowed to run free
That they could come back inside of me
All I ever dreamed I'd be
Is what you are to me bigger than Elvis
And for all the missing years
A memory reappears bigger than Elvis
We know the sadness of goodbyes
Must be the one that's bringing
Tears to your child's eyes
Oh, from now on I'll walk with you
Making music like you do
Would you believe I always knew?
You were never hard to take
In some mysterious way bigger than Elvis
And for all the missing years
Your memory reappears bigger than Elvis
Now I've found the missing years
Forgotten all my tears
I've found the missing years
