Avro ANSON
Named after a British Admiral of the 18th Century, the Avro "Anson", nicknamed 'Faithful Annie' or 'The Flying Greenhouse' by those who flew it, entered RCAF service in 1940 after serving in the RAF Coastal Command at the outbreak of World War II. It was the first aircraft to be flown by the RAF to have a retractable undercarriage which was a comparative novelty in 1936.
The Ansons were steadily replaced by later types such as the Hudson and Whitley throughout 1940, but few remained with Coastal Command until 1942. In the early days of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, the Anson was selected as the standard twin-engine aircraft for the training of pilots, observers, wireless-operators, and bomb aimers. Over 20,000 aircrew received their training on it. At first the aircraft was supplied by the United Kingdom, but as the war situation worsened, production was started in Canada.
Federal Aircraft Limited, a Canadian government owned company in Montreal was set-up in 1940 to supervise construction of the Anson Trainer in Canada. North American engines were substituted, and later the airframe was substantially redesigned. Nearly 3,000 Canadian Ansons were made and fifty were obtained by the USAAF under the AT-20 designation.
Although used primarily as a trainer when first delivered to the RAF, it served operationally in the early years of the war as a light bomber and coastal patrol aircraft. During the evacuation of Dunkirk, Ansons were used aggressively to protect the beleaguered British troops. During this operation one Anson was attacked by ten
Messerschmitts but managed to shoot down two and damage a third before the action was broken off. However, the Anson was severely limited in range, fire-power, and bomb load and was soon limited to training, transport, and other non-combat roles.
The Avro Anson MK I was to be the standard twin-engine trainer for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. By May, 1940 British production could not keep up with the demand for aircraft in Canada and Federal Aircraft Ltd. was established in Montreal to produce the Mk II version. In August, 1941 the first Canadian built Anson flew. It featured the considerable use of plywood to save stocks of steel for other purposes.
Anson II's were used primarily to train pilots to fly multi-engine aircraft such as the Lancaster. However wireless operators, navigators, and bomb-aimers used the Anson as well. As a training aircraft the Anson was docile, forgiving, and easy to fly. As will, it developed such a reputation for reliability it was dubbed "Faithful Annie".
Anson II's were a familiar sight in the skies of southern Alberta during the war. All were declared surplus at war's end and many were immediately destroyed. Some were sold to farmers who used their electrical, mechanical, and other parts for various purposes on the farm. They became fantastic play areas for children and occasionally were kept as cherished relics.

BACKGROUND: Neurasthenia has had a chequered history, receiving changing labels such as chronic fatigue or Gulf war syndrome. Neurasthenia is recognized by ICD-10, but not by DSM-IV. Its course, longitudinal stability and relationship to depression is not well understood. METHODS: In a stratified community sample (n = 591), representative of 2600 persons of the canton of Zurich, Switzerland, neurasthenia and depression were assessed in six structured interviews between ages 20 and 41. Course, stability and comorbidity were examined. A severity spectrum of neurasthenia and depression from symptoms to diagnosis was taken into account. RESULTS: The annual prevalence of a neurasthenia diagnosis increased from 0.7% to 3.8% from age 22-41, while mere symptoms became less prevalent. Intraindividual courses improved in 40% and deteriorated in about 30% of symptomatic cases. The most frequent symptoms overall, besides criterial exhaustion, were increased need for sleep, over-sensitivity, nervousness and difficulty concentrating. Cross-sectional associations and overlap with depression were strong. Longitudinal stability of ICD-neurasthenia was low. CONCLUSIONS: Neurasthenia is intermittent, overlaps significantly with depression, and shows improvement and deterioration over time to roughly equal measures.

Have you ever had your credit card company cancel and change your card without asking you before? Would you use this new card, or try and find a new one?
In a recent article from FinancialSamurai.com, entitled "Where Are My Credit Card Rights Citibank?", the author was very disappointed when he wasn't asked first if it would be OK to change his credit card on him, essentially closing the old card and replacing it with a different one.
The unilateral decision by Citibank is very unsettling, claimed the author. For 7 years, he was totally happy with the Citibank Home Rebate credit card. And then one day, he got a letter from Citibank saying that they would be swapping the card out with the Citi Thank You card.
The author was forced to call all his vendors and update them with the new credit card details and spend a few hours calling/editing his information at his local health club, insurance company, and various online accounts such as Amazon.com. Go online and figure out how to link the new card and cancel the old card. Go through the documents and understand the new interest rate, credit limit, and any hidden fees. All resulting in more wasted time.
The CARD Act is supposed to protect users from unfair interest rate hikes and double billing cycles. You might be wondering, what are a card holder's rights anyway? According to the author at FinancialSamurai, it's still unclear what those rights really are.

Comments for:Line 6 DT-50 - Tubes and DSP In Perfect Harmony?
3 Comments... Post a comment original story
Tuber Said...
Thats a great review, you can really get a sense of the tones Nicely done. Shame about the price though. Iguess we've all become used to paying low prices for Line 6 and now they come up with something that just costs more, its a bit confusing.
22-Feb-11 05:35 PM
Rich B Said...
Yeah, the price and the weight were certainly the only negatives, but I guess that's justified by the fact that it's still cheaper to buy the DT50 than buying 4 classic tube amps.
Really recommend trying one out if you can get your hands on it!

She convinced the government to close down the orphanage, and with the assistance of people from the US, together they built a new orphanage for the children that is thriving today.
When she was asked what made her fight for those kids, she responded "I just kept thinking, 'if I don't do something, who will?'"

What "Real Men" Eat
BreakfastNow, I ate all this and you'll still find me shouting at the basketball game on TV and playing fantasy football. Speaking of sports, check out how these uber-men of the NBA and MLB are shaping up of their diets. From Sally Squires of The Washington Post:
Chocolate pudding made with bananas, seeds, nuts, coco-powder, avocado, spinach, lettuce, dates, and unsweetened almond milk. Plus a shot of pomegranate juice!
A small salad; Romaine lettuce, carrots, tomato, red onion, avocado, with some random seed-based dressed I came up with, and a nectarine.
Some water sautéed broccoli rabe and sliced garlic with a tablespoon of olive oil and a bunch of garlic powder. Oh, and I had a banana later in the evening too.
Washington Wizards' Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler, have hired personal chefs to assist them at the dining table. "Your body is your temple, so you want to keep it as fresh as possible," Butler says. "Eating right gives you an edge on your opponent."I'm not a Wizards fan, but Gilbert Arenas is the man! Kansas City Chiefs tight-end Tony Gonzalez is pretty cool too. He went vegetable-based and had lots of success: Gonzo Gone Veggie.
Washington Nationals relief pitcher Ray King has learned that lesson, too. Concerned that extra pounds were throwing him off balance on the mound, he changed his habits during the offseason. Not only did King work out, he also stopped drinking soda and swapped greasy, fast-food burgers for salmon…
...The Pittsburgh Pirates first added rice and beans to their menus when Dominican-born players requested them. The low-calorie, high-protein meals proved so popular that they are now standard fare. That move paved the way for other foods when the team opened Pirate City, its new training facility. Now vegetable kebabs, stir-fries, steamed vegetables and a salad bar with a wide range of greens are popular items, Leslie Bonci, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Carole Samaha's "Feelings" of success spread to Egypt's record industry
After the record industry in Egypt nearly tanked with the country's political probs, Carole Samaha's latest album played a part in bringing it back to life. The singer's musical hit "Ihsas" (Feelings) still ranks as the best selling record in the country, according the Middle East news portal.
Carole will be heading to straight to Cairo from her homeland after she ties up the 5th episode of the Lebanese MTV talent show "The X-Factor" to celebrate the launch and tremendous success of "Ihsas", produced by the 'Rotana'.
Celebs and officials from the network will party it up with the songstress at the prestigious Four Seasons Nile Plaza Hotel on Monday April 22nd. The event will mark the first time Carole will be interviewed by the Egyptian press since before the launch of her drama "Al Shahrora" about the Lebanese diva Sabah more than two years ago.
Will Carole's "Feelings" of success be long lived? Share with us your thoughts.

Under Fire for Perks, Chief Quits American Airlines
By EDWARD WONG
Published: April 25, 2003
After a week of sharp criticism from unions about executive benefits, Donald J. Carty resigned yesterday as chairman and chief executive of American Airlines, which continued to struggle to avoid a bankruptcy filing.
Mr. Carty, 58, stepped down during a heated meeting of the company's board, ending his tenure after making a critical misstep during negotiations with the airline's unions over wage and benefit concessions. He had served as chairman and chief executive since 1998 and had worked at the airline for more than two decades.
American, the world's largest airline, said that Gerard J. Arpey, president and chief operating officer, would take over as chief executive. Edward A. Brennan, a director at American and former chairman and chief executive of Sears, Roebuck, will become chairman. [Page C5.]
There was no clear indication last night whether AMR, the parent company of American, had appeased its unions enough to avoid a Chapter 11 filing. The airline's three unions balked anew at $1.62 billion in annual concessions, which they had agreed to accept last week, after learning about so-called retention bonuses and a plan to protect pensions for top executives. American, which lost $1.04 billion in the first quarter, says the concessions are needed to stay out of bankruptcy court.
On Wednesday night, union leaders and the company reached an agreement on less costly concessions. The Allied Pilots Association and Transport Workers Union said yesterday that their boards had agreed to the new concessions. The Association of Professional Flight Attendants said that its board had not approved the concessions, though the situation was ''very fluid.'' All three unions must agree to the concessions for them to take effect.
The new agreements would, among other changes, provide for contracts of five years, rather than six, and a new cash incentive plan. They were reached after union leaders spent 12 hours meeting with Mr. Carty and four local congressmen in Dallas, near AMR's headquarters. Representative Pete Sessions, a Republican from Texas, said yesterday that Mr. Carty ''was willing to negotiate anything necessary to avoid bankruptcy,'' implying that Mr. Carty had offered to resign if that was what it took to persuade the unions to take the concessions.
Mr. Carty said in a statement last night that his successors would try to create a ''new culture of collaboration, cooperation and trust.''
In the same statement, Mr. Arpey promised to ''restore the confidence of all employees in their great company.''
AMR's board went into yesterday's meeting in a Dallas hotel almost equally divided between directors who wanted to ask Mr. Carty to resign and those who supported him, said one person close to several board members. He added that the board also debated whether to seek bankruptcy protection immediately and that some directors wanted to ask Robert L. Crandall, the former chief executive of American, to return. One board member, David Boren, president of the University of Oklahoma, said Wednesday night that he would ask for Mr. Carty's resignation at the meeting.
In a series of stunning events, Mr. Carty's career began to crumble on the night of April 15, when American made a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that disclosed that the company had decided last March to give seven executives cash bonuses equal to up to twice their base salaries if they stayed until January 2005. Based on his salary of $811,000 in 2002, Mr. Carty's bonus would have been more than $1.6 million. The same filing also showed that American had made a $41 million pretax payment last October into a trust fund set up to protect the pensions of 45 executives if the company went into bankruptcy.
The unionized workers, who had just finished voting to accept the concessions, became infuriated after learning about the arrangements in news reports on April 17. Not only had American given out what the workers viewed as lavish perks at a time when the airline was asking them for cutbacks, but it appeared to them that Mr. Carty had delayed the securities filing by at least two weeks to hide information that might jeopardize the votes.
Bruce Hicks, a spokesman for American, then told The Wall Street Journal that union leaders had been informed of the benefits during negotiations but did not tell their members. American quickly retracted the statement, but the damage was done: to prove that they had hid nothing from the workers, leaders at all three unions pushed back hard against American.
The situation was particularly fiery at the flight attendants' union, which originally voted on April 15 to reject its share of concessions. But executives and union leaders agreed to extend the voting by one day and allowed members to change their votes. Union members then narrowly approved the concessions. But after the executive benefits were disclosed, the leaders at that union and at the ground workers' union -- which had also just narrowly approved concessions -- decided to vote again.

Opex shows goods-to-person piece picking shuttle technology
Showcasing the Perfect Pick goods-to-person piece picking solution in a press conference on Tuesday, OPEX Material Handling (Booth 619), director of marketing Beth Ann Haven Ferner noted that the system has been engineered to eliminate the complexity associated with other shuttle technologies—and attendees at the show have been taking notice.
"We've had a lot of interest in the system's iBOT intelligent wireless vehicles, which provide full access to the inventory in a single aisle without elevators, lifts or conveyors. They simultaneously stock items and deliver totes or trays directly to a picker at rates up to 1,000 dual cycles per hour," she said.
Picking stations can be located at one or both ends of an aisle. Designed as a redundant system, Perfect Pick has no single point of failure making it a reliable picking solution ideal for manufacturing and order fulfillment, said David Stevens, CEO.
"The autonomous iBOTs can be quickly and easily extracted or introduced back into the system without any disruption to ongoing operations," he said. "To expand, a single aisle system can accommodate more iBOTS at any time."
The company has almost completed an installation in Hebron, Kent., for a 10-aisle system with 20,000 SKU locations at a height of 32 feet, and 100 foot-long aisles, Ferner added.
ProMat 2013 is scheduled to be held January 21-24, 2013 in Chicago's McCormick Place South. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry. Modern's complete ProMat 2013 coverage.

BACKGROUND: The present study investigated the impact of divergent instructions and response cost on strategic cognitive control in children with ADHD.
METHODS: Children with ADHD (N = 34), combined subtype, and control children (N = 34) performed a series of self-paced computerized visual search tasks. The tasks varied by verbal instructions: after a baseline task, children were either instructed to work as fast as possible (speed instruction) or as accurately as possible (accuracy instruction). In addition, tasks were performed with and without response cost.
RESULTS: Both groups modulated latencies and errors according to instructions in a comparable way, except for latency in the accuracy - instruction without response cost, where control children showed a larger increase of response time. Response cost did not affect the modulation of response style in children with ADHD to a larger extent than in controls. However, with instructions group differences related to target criteria became clearly more accentuated compared to baseline but disappeared when response cost was added.
CONCLUSIONS: Delay aversion theory and motivational or state regulation models may account for different aspects of the results. Modifications related to task presentation, such as the emphasis put on different details in the verbal instruction, may lead to divergent results when comparing performances of children with ADHD and control children on a self-paced task.

Plymouth, MA has been able to keep much of its environmental wonders as sanctuaries for all Americans to visit and enjoy.
Morton Park has many trails through its old growth forests for you and your dog to wander. Walking down the same trails that the pilgrims may have at dawning of our nation is a truly inspiring notion.

In some workplaces,you can find somebody who keeps saying he is the 'realist' who likes to point out the problems and risks. The guy doesn't refer himself as the 'whiner' or 'complainer', but the one who has 'realistic view' over things. He knows when things go wrong, and he knows how others don't have the right view over things. When things go bad, he is the first one to point out 'I told you that this would fail!'
How I see this situation, that as long as the person with the 'realistic view' also remembers to suggest a solution then things are good. That's what separates whiners from the rest of the world.
When a new project begins, if the person just keeps saying how things will go bad, he is not much help. In fact, he is probably contributing to the failure of the project. He won't go the extra mile for the project to succeed, nor look for solutions.
In some teams, there are people who say nothing. They will silently do their work, even though they know that project will fail. These are equally bad for the project, as they are ignoring the relevant challenges.
Then there's people who realize what challenges, problems and risks there might be in the project, and these guys take a step for prepare for these risks if needed. They won't ignore things that might probably go badly, but they try to come up with suggestions on how to solve the issues.
If they really see that the project is going to fail, they will come up with solutions that would make the project succeed. Maybe those suggestions are ignored. Maybe not. But at least these people are contributing to the success rather than failure.
And I'm sure we both agree how irritating it's to hear some people whining no matter what type of work is done.

The referendum in North Carolina yesterday was clear: Constitution vs. GOP elite. Obviously a grassroots' movement to reestablish the Constitution and the voice of the people failed. The 2008 elections woke up an apathetic nation and the Tea Party movement formed. They had a major impact on the 2010 elections and the Democrat Party in conjunction with the media started their smear campaign.
But a strange thing happened in 2012: the Tea Party mounted successful campaigns against establishment GOP candidates. Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Rand Paul took the stage in Congress as a new front supporting the Constitution. The consequences of a rising tide of the people threatened the heart of the GOP elite. And we saw the consequences yesterday of a campaign financed by liberals (Renee Ellmers and her support for immigration reform) and a campaign financed by the national Republican Party (Thom Tillis).
The people will never be able to compete monetarily against the political parties and the media. So where does that leave a disillusioned populace whose belief in a political solution is rapidly being shattered? As I have stated in the past, "Why would we expect the politicians from both parties who have put our nation and Liberty in peril to become our saviors"? It is time to wake up and believe in ourselves with the help of Divine Providence instead of domestic enemies.

Dave: You are right! Because It's all about the money.
Any attempt to reform our laws will only result in giving further power to the political parties and their dupes. A total reform is what is needed, but as long as the 16th amendment allows the politicians to shove their hands in our pockets any time they wish it will never happen.
Lock and load.
I don't know, James F. I think we will still end up with mostly Democrat Lite office holders in Congress doing it your way. The G.O.P. is so in bed with the Democrats that I can't see us being able to "share." And you mention the G.O.P. platform. I think they want to make it less conservative. RINO's want us to drop anti-abortion, etc.

I spent hours and hours researching what went on with Brannon's lawsuit. Granted, there was an issue with the judge being a Hagan supporter. But the judge didn't select the jurors, or order them to reach a specific verdict. Brannon didn't testify, but should have; it remains to be seen if the case will be overturned on appeal. Having said all that, Tillis has been endorsed by 3 of the losers in the race - Harris, Grant, and BRANNON! So, all this other crap should be moot, and Hagan should be fought, and fought hard, by North Carolinians. I was not a Tillis supporter, but people refusing to vote because their primary candidate lost are NOT patriots. That was the same attitude that brought us a 2nd Obama term.
I would like for everyone to look at the information about becoming a precinct committeeman on the following website. http://theprecinctproject.wordpress.com/ This site has excellent information and I also encourage everyone to listen and watch the videos that are on there!
If the TEA Party works together in the local districts to elect constitutional conservative candidates and do this all across the nation, than their is no stopping us. If 20,000,000 like minded conservative TEA Party members give $10 to support the election of local candidates that equals $200,000,000. Remember there are more of us than there are of them. With God being with us who can prevail against us?
I totally agree with Betz, Judson & others --- we can not put up unelectable candidates; it just makes us look like the rubes that the Libs & Establishment Republicans make us out to be. We are doing more harm than good for NOT branding ourselves as intelligent activists / voters. This has to be done by ONLY endorsing thoroughly vetted & articulate candidates. And not just let any "rube" claim the Tea Party mantle.
To Frank Nitty's earlier question about -- why do we think the establishment cares about winning. First, as I mentioned earlier, the establishment needs us to win; but we also have to realize that we need the Establishment republican votes to win.
The establishment wants to win --- but they care more about retaining power than maintaining their professed "principles".
However, while the Establishment incumbent Republicans don't really care if their candidates win; their candidates do not want to waste their time, money, energy, and family heartache just to loose. So we have to leverage the candidates directly. Can we "steal" the best candidate from the establishment? Or even better, can we "share" the best candidate with the establishment?
So I really do not have any animus for Tillis, he does not want to loose. If you were him, which group would you go with? A well-organized Establishment or a bunch of unorganized disparate Tea Party Groups. (Plus Tillis has done some good things in the NC Legislature).
As I have suggested before, Tea Party primaries, but maybe more realistic ---- start with Local Caucus where local groups come together to decide on a single candidate; then in series each local group's candidate moves up to the county, district, & state caucus -- each level would only send one candidate up to the next "higher" level. This would unify the Tea Party groups behind one candidate; at which point we would have the unified power to leverage the Establishment.
If one looks at the Republican Platform -- if I remember correctly, … it is similar to Tea Party principles. The problem is Establishment Republicans don't hold up their own proclaimed principles. So can a unified Tea Party leverage Republicans to stick to the party platform / principles …. Or face certainty to be primaried & unseated at the next election? A unified Tea Party may have the power to make Establishment republicans tow the line.
I disagree, somewhat, with Judson on "KingMakers". I think the Tea Party should strive to be kingmakers. Other kingmakers are such, because they have the money to buy / make kings -- Campaign Finance.
However, if unified, ... the "Tea Party" would have to power to be THE kingmakers, not by money; but by the one thing that is truly important (and just) in election ....VOTES.
Our slogan could be ---- "If you want campaign money go to them, if you want votes come to us!!!!"
But the first step is to come up with a system to unify the "party".
FYI The NC District 6 US House race had 9 (NINE) republican candidates.
Betz make excallent points. Why did we have so many anti-establishment candidates? Why didn't we settle on a single TP candidate? Why did TPN wait until the day before the election to "warn" people about Brannon? Why weren't Harris or others vetted? Where did Judson get his information about where Brannon get his support? Sorry Judson, just one day prior to the election, you tell us to back Tillis, who was given a fund raiser by McConnell. And for a few weeks Brannon had support from Beck & Rand Paul and Harris had support from Huckabee??????? One wonders if Tillis is a buddy. Which is fine but how about some transparency. Like where can we confirm that the "kingmakers" were backing Brannon, it would have been helpful to have that citation in your "kingmaker" discussion.
Jim Pifer is correct. The judge in Brannon's case was a Hagan supporter. His co-defendant was found not guilty. Dr. Brannon initially offered full restitution to the plaintiff who turned him down and then filed this case. This was a political smear campaign that worked. As for Tillis being a Tea Party candidate, that is insanity. I met with Thom personally and found him to be very refreshing: he will do anything to advance the Republican party. Period. He is the ultimate politician. As for listening to the people, you will have more luck talking to a wall.
Dr. Brannon was one of the best candidates in the country running. He would have fought for our Liberty. North Carolina suffered a major blow to Liberty with Tillis and Ellmers.
Tinner....there are other ways of looking at it....I'm not sure who thinks Tillis is a Tea Party candidate because he simply isn't. He's a Bullmoose Republican with pay-to-play "tendencies" if there ever was one. Which brings up the question, why did Harris enter the race? He's the one who split the vote against Tillis. As for Brannon, there is more to the civil case than is public knowledge, i.e. "given" to us by the News & Disturber. From what I know, the case will be overturned in the future. If you want some more incite, get in touch.

The artist was notified that he had secured this commission on Dec. 3, 1927 (NCW to James Boyd, James Boyd Papers, Southern Historical Collection, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), and he began research for the decoration in February, 1928. He wrote, "I...have found one very attractive, and I should think appropriate subject. Washington's personal and triumphant entry into Trenton in 1788 (sic) on his way to N.Y. to be inaugurated" (NCW to Andrew Newell Wyeth, dated by the artist Feb. 14, by context and in another hand 1928, Wyeth Family Archives). Wyeth's primary source was an article published in the Columbian Magazine, April 25, 1789, which described in detail Washington's entrance into Trenton on April 21. The Brandywine River Museum holds the artist's hand-written notes summarizing the article and his typed synopsis. In Wyeth's studio library are several histories of Trenton published prior to this date, no doubt used as reference material. Photographer Edward J. S. Seal took a number of photographs of Wyeth while the mural was still in the Chadds Ford studio (see BRM library 39309.1 and 39309.8, Edward J. S. Seal Collection, Gift of Barbara Lloyd, and Edward J. S. Seal photos in NCW archives.) In the Lloyd gift there is also an undated sepia-toned photograph of the mural The mural was removed from its setting, lined, cleaned and varnished in 1993-1994 and returned to the original site.
The scene was reproduced in black and white on a plate measuring 10 3/4 inches in diameter, manufactured by American Decorators, Inc. of Trenton, NJ, prior to 1977.

Melbourne, FL – April 9, 2014 - On April 5th the Outriggers Tiki Bar and Grille, the New Smyrna Marina, Fluid Magazine and the Smyrna Safari Club hosted the Coastal Art and Craft Beer Festival. The event was located on the grounds of the New Smyrna Marina. The marina is located on Boatyard Street just south of North Causeway which runs parallel east – west along the Halifax River.
The weekend's festival had three components, an art show, a craft beer tasting and great dock-side food. The art show was located in the grassed area in front of "The Village at New Smyrna Marina". There were about ten booths of local artist showing and selling their artwork. There were 17 booths dispensing samples of craft beers and hard cider. There were more than 20 American Craft Brewers showcasing specialty beers. Some of the more noteworthy brewers were, Abita, Terrapin, K. Spoetzl Brewery, The Traveler Beer Company, Magic Hat, Red Hook, New Belgium, Wood Chuck, Kona Brewing Company, Orange Blossom Pilsner, Goose Island Craft Beer and New Smyrna Beach Brewing Company. Making one round at each booth sampling all the different craft beers was definitely an accomplishment and if you wanted to be able to drive home at the festival's end at 7:00 PM. Many of the craft beers that were sampled can be purchased at ABC stores and Publix.
After an afternoon of looking at local art and craft beer sampling, the Outrigger Tiki Bar & Grille and Marina was a perfect place to kick back and enjoy a cool one. This afternoon the Outrigger Tiki Bar & Grille and its dock-side tables were jammed packed. As soon as one table emptied it fill right up again keeping the entire Outrigger Tiki Bar & Grille crew busy as bees. The restaurant had a very nice selection of salads, burgers, seafood, red and white wines, mixed drinks and 15 craft beers. One of the more popular drinks of this day was the Mojito. It seemed that every other table had at least one Mojito be enjoyed by a restaurant guest. Craft beer was the other beverage of choice which one would expect being that a craft beer tasting event was happening right next door in the Marina's paved area in front of the boat storage building.
All in all this is was a great festival. So if you missing the festival this year, do not get disheartened. You can get many of the beers at the Outrigger Tiki Bar & Grille and the festival will be back again next year. I am also told that ABC Stores and Publix carry many of the brews we tasted today.
So mark your calendar.
So until next time, be safe in the sun and have a great day in the great outdoors.

The Real Estate Bubble has burst. Am I telling you something that you already know?
Nationally, nearly one in four homeowners is underwater on their mortgages, according to First American CoreLogic, the property and information provider subsidiary of The First American Corp. Moody's Economy.com estimates that 17.5 million borrowers will be underwater in early 2010. You are considered underwater on your mortgage when you owe more than your house is worth, rendering it almost impossible to sell.
In Colorado, it is estimated that 1 in 23 borrowers are currently in foreclosure, meaning the Public Trustee in the respective counties has scheduled a sales date for those houses. The house will be auctioned off by the lender and the homeowner (now former homeowner) will be evicted.
What happened? How did the "American Dream" of owning a home suddenly become more the "American Nightmare" of unaffordable mortgage payments and negative equity? It is not a simple answer.
Our problems began back in 2001 with the downturn in the Internet stocks, the stock market in general, and 9/11. Most of those previous gains had been built with borrowed money and false profits and, like a house of cards, finally collapsed.
Inexpensive Chinese goods flooded the American market, sending U.S. dollars to China. China then invested billions of those dollars in U.S. Treasury Bills. Banks and lenders took advantage of the availability of this easy money and loaned the money to home buyers. Real Estate values skyrocketed!
These new mortgages were then bundled and sold to investors on Wall Street, making more money available to the lenders for even more mortgages. Lenders loosened their lending requirements, thus the onset of the so-called subprime loans to people with questionable credit histories. Many home buyers were sold Adjustable Rate Mortgages and were convinced by loan originators that "home values will rise and you can refinance in a few years"...
It has been argued that during this time, 2003-2008, many loans were made based on inflated appraisals--almost immediate negative equity! We all used our homes like ATM's and eventually found ourselves deeply in debt. Borrowers began to default on their loans by the millions and many homeowners "walked away" from their mortgages, giving rise to millions of vacant homes nationwide. Every vacant home in your neighborhood represents at least a 1% drop in your home's market value.
So lending got tight. Fewer buyers could qualify for loans so even though there are 25,000 to 30,000 homes for sale in the Denver market, which would appear to be a buyer's market, few buyers have the cash and those that don't cannot now qualify for loans, even with near-perfect credit.
Throw in the rising unemployment rate, which some predict will pass right through the 10% level this year, and you have the recipe for foreclosure and economic troubles. Now businesses have a reduced market for their goods and services so business failings have increased dramatically, causing more consumers to lose their jobs... And the vicious cycle increases in intensity.
Now that we understand how we got here, what can we do? What options are available to homeowners who cannot afford to make their current mortgage payments? Where can homeowners find answers to their questions? We will answer these questions and more in the next few articles.

Expect Jelousyness
Here, it's always fascinating to see shops trying to sell "CD's" or "DVD's", and fascinating to listen to Germans who think that "actually" has the same meaning as "currently". The most embarrassing mistakes, however, are always those printed in large type.
A semi-recent study found that many German speakers do not understand the true meaning of those cool English slogans used by German companies. While most people seem to understand Lufthansa's "there's no better way to fly", they also think that an impersonated Mr. Instinct is driving cars for Audi. Their slogan is "driven by instinct". Douglas, a perfume store chain, advertises with "come in and find out". So I can go into their stores and find my way back out again? Must be the excellent signage.

Back in August of 2013, you were introduced to Lenmar, a company that has been making specialty batteries, chargers, and the like, since the 60s. In September, you got to learn how a couple of their products, the 11000mAh Helix portable battery pack and Miniboom Bluetooth speaker, performed. In those articles, I called the Helix "the perfect companion to all my devices," and the capabilities of the Miniboom as "a thing of beauty." To say the least, they performed really well.
As it happens, the folks over at The Wall Street Journal recently noticed that the Lenmar Meridian, a phone case with a built-in 2300mAh battery made specifically for the iPhone 5, is a "powerhouse" and that it packs more battery into the same or less space than others in its market segment. Of course, anyone at all familiar with Lenmar's products would know that they routinely meet or beat consumer expectations. It's pretty easy to imagine that those making similar products to Lenmar have sat up and taken notice since that article was published.
In addition to the abovementioned products, Lenmar also makes a number of things you may be interested in knowing about to help keep your mobile, constantly connected existence up and running. Check them out:
- 16500mAh Lithium-Polymer battery

It's so difficult to find a truly natural Vitamin C, but I can stop looking because this one is. When you know how to read the labels, you will find out that most products are synthetic and otherwise in low dosages or far too expensive. This one might look expensive, but compared to its quality it's really not. You might think that 250 mg per tablet of actual Vitamin C isn't much compared to the 1000 mg tablets you often see, but for a truly natural Vitamin C it's actually the highest dose I know of. Besides, it's far more bioavailable than the synthetic ones, so less is more in this case. Your body recognizes this kind of Vitamin C as food and knows what to do with it. It's much better for your cells. I also love that this Vitamin C comes in tablets, because some of the natural ones are in powder form. You have to mix it with water or it changes the taste of you smoothie/drink. I think powder definitely has its benefits too, but I don't like it. I already have a few products which I have to measure and mix and I don't need another one. The tablet is much easier.

Easy to grow and wonderfully sweet when scrubbed and eaten fresh from the pot, most root crops thrive when sown outdoors, the seedlings thinned, and crops watered regularly. Choose deep pots to allow space for roots to develop.
The long roots of carrots grow strong and straight in stone-free compost and their feathery leaves also look decorative in containers. Choose pots or growing bags that are at least 10 inches wide and deep, and ensure drainage is good. Sow seeds every few weeks from early spring until late summer, either with quick-cropping early cultivars (round-rooted and short types do well in pots), or larger, slower maincrops which keep well. Depending on the shape of the pot, sow seeds 1/2-inch deep, in drills 6 inches apart, or scatter thinly across the compost.
Carrots That Grow in Containers 9 photos
How To Plant
- Large, deep containers, such as these bags, are ideal for growing
carrots. Ensure that the compost surface is level and make a shallow
drill about 1/2-inch deep, sow seeds thinly along it, cover with
compost, and water well.
- When the seedlings have their first divided leaves, thin them to about
2 inches apart, either by pulling them up between your fingers or
snipping off the plants with scissors at soil level. Remove and compost
all thinnings.
- Carrot flies fly close to the ground and can be prevented from reaching your crops by creating a barrier with fleece that, together with the pot, is 24 inches high, or by lifting the container the same height off the ground.
Aftercare and Harvesting
Once the first divided leaves appear, thin out seedlings to allow the remaining plants space to grow. Water consistently, but don't overwater as this causes leaves to grow at the expense of roots. Avoid carrot fly attacks by raising containers off the ground or creating a barrier. Harvest carrots from 12 weeks after sowing by pulling them gently from the compost.

As most know by now, former WBA heavyweight champ Jimmy Ellis 40-12-1 (24) passed away on May 6th.
So much has been written about what a tremendous human being Ellis was, and how as a professional fighter he was the ultimate overachiever on the baddest block in boxing circa 1965-75, the heavyweight division. In that era, monsters named Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Floyd Patterson, Jerry Quarry, George Chuvalo, Oscar Bonavena, Jimmy Young, Ron Lyle, Earnie Shavers and Ken Norton roamed.
And you know what, Ellis weighed less than everyone of those guys except for Patterson, and officially did something that Quarry, Chuvalo, Bonavena, Young, Lyle, Shavers and Norton never could in 12 total attempts - that's win a heavyweight title bout. Ellis accomplished this feat on April 27, 1968 when he decisioned Jerry Quarry in the final of the WBA elimination tournament set up to determine Ali's successor after Muhammad was stripped of his undisputed heavyweight title one year earlier for refusal to be inducted into the United States Army.
In 1961 Jimmy Ellis turned pro as a middleweight. And without much of any money behind him, he was fed to the lions and gatekeepers of the era when he was just starting out and inexperienced. Ellis was weakened by making the 160 pound middleweight limit and lost decisions to tough guys and top contenders Holly Mims (who he beat in a rematch) and Henry Hank. He was out-boxed by slickster George Benton and out-worked by the hard punching Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. In what had to be the low point of his career Ellis lost a split decision to Don Fullmer in between fighting Benton and Carter. Discouraged and thinking about retirement, Ellis wrote a letter to Muhammad Ali's trainer Angelo Dundee and asked if he would train him. Dundee agreed to do so and became Ellis' manager and trainer. Jimmy won eight straight bouts (with six being on the undercard of Ali title bouts) under Dundee, with the final being a first round knockout over the highly touted prospect Johnny Persol on the Muhammad Ali vs. Zora Folley title bout undercard. Ali's seventh round knockout of Folley was his last fight of the sixties and he was stripped of his undisputed title a month later for refusing military induction. Ali's removal from boxing led the World Boxing Association to set up an elimination tournament between the top eight heavyweight contenders to determine Ali's successor.
Ellis was ranked eighth at the time and was the underdog in every fight he participated in during the tournament. Joe Frazier refused to enter the tournament and was replaced by Leotis Martin who at 24-1 had the best record among the eight fighters vying for the title. Ellis battered and cut Martin's face in his first fight of the tournament and was declared the winner when the bout was halted in the ninth round.
In his second tournament bout he hurt and dropped Oscar Bonavena twice enroute to a unanimous decision victory. Incidentally, Ellis had much less trouble overwhelming Bonavena than both Ali and Frazier did when they rumbled with Oscar.
In the tournament final Ellis captured the WBA title with a 15-round majority decision over Jerry Quarry. Ellis used his sharp jab to offset the favored Quarry's counter-punching and let his hands go more freely to win rounds. Five months later Ellis successfully defended the title in Sweden against former champ Floyd Patterson via a 15-round points decision, although some observers thought Floyd may have deserved the nod. Ellis suffered a broken nose against Patterson and was inactive for over a year after the fight.
Then he was scheduled to defend the WBA title against British Champ Henry Cooper, but the BBBC wouldn't sanction the fight because they were affiliated with the WBC. The fight was on and off, then Cooper hurt his knee training and that canceled it for good. Ellis was then scheduled to defend the title against Argentine Gregorio Peralta in Argentina, but the bout was canceled 24 hours before it was to take place by the promoters due to poor ticket sales.
Finally, after 17 months of inactivity Ellis fought undefeated "Smokin" Joe Frazier for the undisputed title. Frazier was on a roll at the time and was recognized as the WBC title holder along with holding the state titles of New York, Pennsylvania, Maine, Illinois, Texas and Massachusetts. Ellis and Dundee said before the fight that Jimmy would box Frazier and not fall into the trap of going toe-to-toe with Joe like his previous opponents were forced to. However, Jimmy had too much heart and willingness and not quite enough firepower to keep Frazier from forcing the fight. After getting the better of Frazier in the first two rounds, he succumbed to Joe's aggression and power, going down twice in the fourth round. The left hook that Frazier dropped Ellis with the second time in the fourth round is probably the best punch Joe ever landed in his career with the exception of the one he dropped Ali with a year later. Jimmy beat the count but was in no condition to continue and Dundee wisely stopped the fight as the bell sounded to start the fifth round. Unfortunately Ellis was too small for Frazier and had the misfortune of fighting him on the second best night of his career.
Ellis won three bouts after the Frazier fight and then met his childhood buddy Muhammad Ali, with Angelo Dundee working his corner due to Angie being his manager and trainer, whereas he was only Ali's trainer. Jimmy thought he needed speed to handle Ali and weighed in at 189 for the fight, 35 pounds less than Muhammad. For three rounds Ellis gave as good as he took, but in the fourth round he was hurt by a right hand and Ali was pretty much in control after that. Ellis never went down against Ali but by the middle of the 12th round Ali was knocking him all over the ring and the referee stopped the bout with Ellis against the ropes on rubbery legs.
After losing to Ali, Ellis won eight straight bouts by knockout and then met the hottest fighter in the division, knockout sensation Earnie Shavers 44-2 (43). Once again Jimmy's heart and courage got in the way. In the first round Ellis hurt Shavers badly and had him on the verge of going out. After being forced to break from a clinch, Shavers put his left hand around Ellis' head and held him as he unloaded a pulverizing right uppercut to Jimmy's chin. The punch dropped Ellis and despite desperately trying to beat the count, he didn't, and the fight was over.
After losing to Shavers, Ellis went 2-4-1 and retired. Three of his four losses were to contenders Ron Lyle, Joe Bugner and Joe Frazier again, and only Frazier stopped him, but this time Joe needed nine rounds to do it.
Jimmy Ellis was a real man and fighter.
He never tried to be Ali and never got sucked into the Ali vortex. He never drew attention to himself when he could've lashed out and complained about being often referred to as Ali's sparring partner and understudy by the media. But the fact is, Ellis and Ali fought nothing alike. Jimmy was a counter-puncher and on many nights he fought as a boxer-puncher. Ellis didn't set out to win by decision, he went for the knockout and it didn't matter a bit to him who the fighter was in the other corner. No, Jimmy Ellis wasn't an all-time great heavyweight fighter, but how many are? But he did win a piece of the title and successfully defended it during a time when it really meant something in boxing. How many fighters can say that? I'll tell you who can't say that, Jerry Quarry, George Chuvalo, Oscar Bonavena, Jimmy Young, Ron Lyle, Earnie Shavers and Ken Norton.
Ellis beat some really good fighters during his era and only lost to two all-time greats in Frazier and Ali when he was at or near his prime fighting as a heavyweight. And getting knocked out by Shavers, (who some believe is the hardest hitting heavyweight in history) at the end of his career after almost knocking him out is no disgrace.
All that being said, the thing that stands out most to me about Ellis is how he fought with so much courage and confidence every time out. Jimmy was fearless and much harder and physically tougher than most remember him being, because he was so laid back and easy going. It didn't matter if it was Martin, Bonavena, Quarry, Frazier, Ali, Shavers or Lyle, Ellis didn't back down or away from anyone. You can go back and watch all of his big fights against the monsters I just named and you won't find a second of footage where Jimmy looks intimidated, scared or like he wants out. And he was physically smaller and lighter than everyone of those fighters. In every fight of Jimmy's career, when he got nailed with something of consequence, he came back firing. In some fights it was his undoing but in other fights, against Quarry, Bonavena, Martin, Patterson and Lyle, it prevented them from taking their liberties with him and either tilted the fight in his favor or kept him in a bout that he was closely trailing.
Jimmy Ellis was not only a good man who was liked by all who met him, but he was the personification of confidence and courage in what many have referred to as the cruelest and most unforgiving sport of all.

El Dude Paying respect.
Nice Sweet Science copy about one of the best human to ever be in the seedy hurt business.
A thousand salutes to you, Super Boxing Journalist F-Lo.
Big James, or Jimmy, as most people called him, was also an outstanding coach for the famed Muhammad Ali Boxing Club, based in Santa Monica, Cali, during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
I will always have much luv for Big James for teaching me how to shoot stealth sneak crosses when I was still a rubrat.
May Big James enjoy all what is wonderful in the afterlife. Holla!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Frank Lotierzo...
Simply another great piece by F-Lo.
Jimmy Ellis was the first big-time fighter I ever interviewed. I was in college and as a final for a sportswriting course, we had to interview a professional athlete, by contacting a team or the league. Most of my fellow students chose the Knicks, Rangers, Giants, Jets, Mets & Yankees. I was the only one who chose a boxer.
It was early February, 1969, and on February 15, Joe Frazier would be facing Jimmy Ellis in Madison Square Garden. I called the MSG Boxing Department, and asked for John F.X. Condon, an executive with MSG Sports. Boxing was Condon's favorite sport, and he waqs always the go-to guy when the local boxing beat writers needed a quote.
I asked Condon if I could interview Joe Frazier (who would, in later years, become one of my best friends), but Condon laughed me off saying, "Kid, go interview the quarterback of your college football team." I whined and pleaded and groveled (something I've honed, perfected and fine-tuned over the years), and convinced Condon to let me do an interview. But instead of Frazier, he told me I could have Jimmy Ellis--for 10 minutes--but only after each of the local writers finished talking with him.
When I finally had my one-on-one with Ellis, he could sense I was nervous. I told him I was a big fight fan, but admitted this was my first interview with a professional athlete.
"Hey, don't be nervous," he said. "Believe it or not, I get nervous every time I do an interview. So, knowing that, let's have fun.
We did. The 10 minutes--before Condon yelled "Time's up, kid!"--seemed like 10 seconds.
Over the years, I got to know Jimmy Ellis quite well. Whenever he was in New York, he would visit me, first in my office at The Ring Magazine, and in later years, in my office in the New York State Athletic Commission.
All my colleagues loved him. He treated everybody with respect. One time, while walking across the street from my NYSAC office with Jimmy, he rushed from my side. I watched as he ran across the street. My eyes followed him. He had seen a mother, struggling to get her wheelchair-bound daughter up the curb onto the sisdewalk. He gave the mother an assist.
Jimmy Ellis was more than just a champion in the ring. He was a champion out of it, too.
R.I.P. Jimmy Ellis.

My unix/windows C++ app is already parallelized using MPI: the job is splitted in N cpus and each chunk is executed in parallel, quite efficient, very good speed scaling, the job is done right.
But some of the data is repeated in each process, and for technical reasons this data cannot be easily splitted over MPI (...). For example:
- 5 Gb of static data, exact same thing loaded for each process
- 4 Gb of data that can be distributed in MPI, the more CPUs are used, smaller this per-CPU RAM is.
On a 4 CPU job, this would mean at least a 20Gb RAM load, most of memory 'wasted', this is awful.
I'm thinking using shared memory to reduce the overall load, the "static" chunk would be loaded only once per computer.
So, main question is:
Is there any standard MPI way to share memory on a node? Some kind of readily available + free library ?
- If not, I would use
boost.interprocessand use MPI calls to distribute local shared memory identifiers.
- The shared-memory would be read by a "local master" on each node, and shared read-only. No need for any kind of semaphore/synchronization, because it wont change.
- If not, I would use
Any performance hit or particular issues to be wary of?
- (There wont be any "strings" or overly weird data structures, everything can be brought down to arrays and structure pointers)
The job will be executed in a PBS (or SGE) queuing system, in the case of a process unclean exit, I wonder if those will cleanup the node-specific shared memory.

Did Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary behead James Foley? The British rapper is the main suspect while many attend a mass held for the slain journalist. Both U.S. and British government officials have this British rapper on the list of potential suspects in the shocking beheading murder of James Foley. Many around the world saw the incident happen on a video that was released following the killing. Fox News shared the latest on this crime on Aug. 24.
ISIS beheaded James Foley last week as a warning to the United States government. He is the not only American held by the terrorist group. Following the reporters death, both British and U.S. officials began to look for the man responsible. He had a British accent that is normally found by residents of West London. Officials now believe 'John the Beatle' is Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary. He is one of three men suspected in the crime.
Who is Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary? He is a British rapper that has released his music via YouTube. His music did receive some popularity. His music became popular to receive airplay on BBC Radio back in 2012. He rapped under the name L. Jinny before he left for Syria to join the war last year. His father was extradited to the United States in 2012 because of his connections to Osama bin Laden. Bary has even rapped about his connections to Jihad. Some of the lyrics are as follows, according to The Inquisitr:
"It's hard to progress in the future with a damaged past but still I try to count my blessings and I thank Allah. I'm trying to change my ways but there's blood on my hands and I can't change my ways until there's funds in the bank. I can't differentiate the angels from the demons, my heart's disintegrating. I ain't got normal feelings."
These lyrics give readers just a small look into the mind of this man. Government officials have not yet identified Bary as the main suspect officially, but sources have reported that he is one of the main suspects in the shocking crime. The Sunday Mirror revealed that 20-year-old Abu Hussain al-Britani, originally from Birmingham, and 23-year-old Abu Abduallah al-Britani are suspected in the beheading as well. The men form a group called 'The Beatles' have targeted westerners for kidnapping. Foley is one of those kidnapped. He was taken on Thanksgiving Day in 2012. This is before Bary arrived in Syria.
Family and friends remembered James Foley at a mass held in New Hampshire on Sunday. His mother stood up at the end of the mass to thank those that attended. People filled the church. It was standing room only. Danish photographer Daniel Rye Ottosen shared the text of a letter written by James Foley during his captivity. The journalist was not able to send the letter to his family, so the Danish hostage memorized the letter word for word. The letter said as follows, according to the Herald Sun:
"I know you are thinking of me and praying for me. And I am so thankful. I feel you all especially when I pray. I pray for you to stay strong and to believe. I really feel I can touch you even in this darkness when I pray. I have had weak and strong days. We are so grateful when anyone is freed; but of course, yearn for our own freedom. We try to encourage each other and share strength. We are being fed better now and daily. We have tea, occasional coffee. I have regained most of my weight lost last year."
His letter also contained a message for his grandmother, and he had every intention of returning home to take her out. However, that will not be the case. The investigation into his murder is still on going.
