DescriptionAttempting to detect this relatively narrow sinuous rille is a favorite challenge of amateur observers of the Moon, yet accurate dimensions do not see to have been published. The above image gives measurements made with the freeware Lunar Terminator Visualization Tool on images returned in the 1960's by Lunar Orbiter V. The average of the ten width estimates is 750 m with a standard deviation of 130 m. The average of the ten depth estimates is 140 m with a standard deviation of 60 m. - JimMosher
Description: WikipediaVallis Alpes
Additional Information
- The fact that the image upon which the present measurements are based is slightly oblique adds some slight additional uncertainty to the measurements.
- The length given is from where the rille starts in what Elger called the "Florence flask" bottle on the far left, to where the narrow part peters out on the far right. No correction was made for the possible breaks in the rille between these two points. - JimMosher
- Because the depths given are based on shadows, and the shadows may not reach fully to the bottom of the rille, they should be regarded as limits on the true depth. But they are probably not far off. - JimMosher

California Moving Closer to Waterless Restrooms
New regulations go into effect January 2016
California regulators have been speeding up water-efficiency standards for faucets, toilets and urinals in response to the state's fourth year of drought. The new regulations, which have been signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown go into effect January 2016.
"Invariably more water is consumed in restrooms than any other part of a facility," said Klaus Reichardt of Waterless Co. Inc. The main exception is if the facility has landscaped areas that must be irrigated.
Product Categories
- Faucet Attachments, Filter
- Faucets
Faucet Filters
The Blue Chilled + Sparkling faucet allows users to switch between three water settings: filtered still, medium sparkling and full sparkling. The faucet now is available with three filter options—five-stage, Magnesium+ and active carbon—as well as BioClean, an eco-friendly cleaning cartridge that produces electrochemically activated water. All filter options offer simple installation under the sink.
Faucet System
The Z6950 Aqua-FIT faucet system is a modular sensor faucet line that provides modern design aesthetics, the ability to retrofit a new spout onto an existing electronics base, and concealed sensor lens and aerators to prevent damage from vandalism or cleaning chemicals. The system is available with low-flow outlets down to 0.35 gpm, and its time-out activation is easily adjustable.
Zurn Launches Two New Products
The products reduce water usage in high-traffic bathrooms
Pennsylvania-based Zurn Industries introduced two new products to its portfolio: the EZCarry carrier system and the Z6950 Aqua-FIT sensor faucet line.
The new carrier system has a 500-lb standard load rating, and is available in a 3- or 4-in. waste line configuration.
Residential Water Treatment Equipment Demand will Grow in Asia Pacific, Research Finds
A growing demand for potable water in the Asia Pacific region will transform the region's residential water treatment equipment market

HFSLT and HFSFT faucets can be ordered with SteriTouch technology to inhibit bacteria growth. An ionic silver-based compound manufactured into the product, the technology uses several modes of action to attack microbes and reduce growth on a surface. The faucets are self-closing and designed for use where a fast flow and compact unit are required.

RS-1/Nikon D800/Rokinon (Samyang) 8mm
If anyone else is using this particular combination, I would very much appreciate the sharing of your rail (NPP) settings.
RS-1/Nikon D800/Rokinon (Samyang) 8mm
If anyone else is using this particular combination, I would very much appreciate the sharing of your rail (NPP) settings.
Wow, am I really the only person using this combination?
I don't have an RS-1 or a D800 or a Rokinon 8mm fisheye. OTOH, I do have a tutorial that should enable you to establish the settings yourself in 10-15 minutes or so:
Report your settings here for the benefit of others.
Hello Mosleyh,
How has it been with a D800, R1 and Rokinon (Samyang) 8mm?
I would be interested to know how many shots round you use and what size Equirectangulars you get as I am looking at this combination for a particular project.
Thanks, Hugh.
I honestly haven't used it in a while, but with a footed monopod it works well as a "Run and Gun" setup. 4 round-shots and either a nadir shot or a nadir cap added during stitching nets a 12208*6104 image.
Here's a sample from a local event last year: https://lookaroundgreenville.com/VR/...Duck21/VR.html
Your LR reading should be 5.8. If you use 4mm spacer, then add 0.4 to it.
I also find this customer report.
Camera: Sony A77
Lens: Samyang 8mm f3.5 CS
NPP adjusted at 30 degrees horizontal rotation (panos will be taken at 60 degrees stops)
Upper tilt : 10 degrees down (as tested)
Lower rail : 6
NPP (lens ring plate) : 3.1
We listen. We try harder.
Thanks for the information.
Great panorama with lots of people, which is what I am looking to do.
Purchased the lens ring for the Samyang 8mm 1:3.5 for the R1 with a D800 from Red Door (excellent service).
Great improvement over the APS-C sensor and Sigma 4.5mm.
Either 4 or 6 round producing minimum of 12,000 x 6,000 Equirectangulars whereas I was lucky to get 6,000 x 3,000 Eqiurectangulars before.
+7.5 closes the zenith nicely and hole at the nadir less than the top of the tripod.
To maximize speed, I shoot that setup on a Sirui P424S monopod. If you want a closed Nadir, it's easy to set the tilt to -45 and hand hold it. I do the same on RS-1 + Nikkor 16mm.

Istanbul Off The Beaten Path Tips by ozalp
Istanbul Off The Beaten Path: 521 reviews and 1,171 photos

It is prohibited to walk over the Boshporus Bridge. It wasn't once and my aunt and uncle tells me that they had walked over it to return to home from their university. It is prohibited because of the suicides and terrorist acts.
But... There is a marathon called "Avrasya Maratonu", "Eurasia Marathon". 2008 is its 30th year. Anybody can join this marathon, because it has two parts: A longer path for professional athletes and the other for everybody. It is usually at the end of October, near to my birthday. You can have detailed information here: http://www.istanbulmarathon.org/english/main.asp
This one is new: There was another event over the Bridge at 31st of August, 2008 called "humanrace10k". It was a worldwide marathon and Turkey part crosses over the Bridge. Participants run from Beylerbeyi to Kurucesme.
For more information follow the link: http://www.nikeplus.com/
It is growing separately from my Istanbul page and it can easily be missed. I realized that I cannot allow this. So, here is the link to My Entire Kadikoy Page.
Aya Irini
I listened to Rufus Wainwright in Aya Irini at 8 of July, 2008. There were many tourists in this concert. And I realized it was a great experience to join a concert in such a special place.
It is an ordinary thing to listen to a concert in Prague, why not in Istanbul?
Aya Irini could be the oldest church of Istanbul. It is also a must see itself. It is located in the garden of Topkapi Palace, near Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia). It has a marvelous acoustic, so every year we have several concerts here. I, personally, participated concerts of Nigel Kennedy, Rufus Wainwright, a blues band from Russia and my brothers? school?s end of the year ceremonies.
The place itself has a magic, so if the concert was just ordinary Aya Irini transfers it to an upper level. If the concert is good, then it will be an unforgettable memory of your life.
Every year during the music and jazz festivals, we search for concerts in Aya Irini. If you see the place, you?ll agree with me.
(The website I gave is for the tickets. Usually, there isn't many concerts in Aya Irini. I wish you luck.)

This is a small village near Black Sea coast. This land is given to Polish people in 1842 by Ottoman Empire. They've been living here since this time. The history of the village is here:
Polonezkoy is a little bit far from Istanbul's city center. It is between forests and its nature is under the effect of Black Sea. This means it is always green, but in spring it's more than green. You can see many colors in April and May here, because wild flowers are all over the place. It is possible to stay here, too. There are many pensions and they serve great breakfast in the morning. In a busy city, Polonezkoy is like heaven. But in the weekends it turns into a hell.
If you try to go there after 11:00 am by your car in a sunny day, you'll stuck in a chaos of cars. If you want to see this beauty, I recommend you to do it when we all working in our offices.
You can find some local products, like wild berries, vegetables, chestnut, jams... They are expensive but recommendable. Also it is posible to ride horses here. You can do trekking, too.

I was returning to my home, Kadikoy from Karakoy. It was a much known path that I walked million times. There is a delicatessen in the spot (we have the same name with this delicatessen), and I remember it was there since I was a little child.
So, when I was walking, I noticed the wall with mosaic in the delicatessen. I approached the window to see it better. The shop was closed so I couldn?t see it closer. I took some photos because it is a wall mosaic of a famous artist, Bedri Rahmi Eyuboglu.
He was a famous painter and a poet. He was born in 1913 and died in 1975. This mosaic is called Kagni. Kagni means a cart which pulled by bulls. You can see it in photos.
You can see some of paintings of Bedri Rahmi in this page:
His poems are very famous, especially Karadut. Here is a small poem of him:
"Bu karpuz
Cok kirmizi
Bolusmek lazim"
(It means:
"This watermelon
Too red
Had to share it" )
Phone: "
Gravestone of a captain
You can easily pass through a tomb of an important character (like Sultans) in Istanbul. We call them "turbe" and they are usually very close to mosques. Also there are some graves around the turbe of the less important person. They were somehow close to the main character (like a cousin, a daughter, a son-in-law, etc.)
The gravestones of these historical characters describe and summarize their lives, as you can see in the pictures. And you don't need to know Ottoman language.
A pheasant in cage
Cicek Pazari leans the outer walls of Egyptian (Spice) Market. It is at the left side of Market's main entrance while your face towards the gate. Wandering in Cicek Pazari is not an "Off The Beaten Path" for locals because we buy our flowers, trees, seeds and such requirements here. Also you can find interesting animals (not only pets, animals like partdige, pheasant, leech) here. It is always full of people bargaining.

Scrapbooks, etc. Magazine. The technique focus for this project was stamping with watercolor markers. All of the stamping on this page (and there is a lot) is all done with watercolor markers that were purchased at a large craft store. Be sure to click on the layout for a larger view.
I love to color my stamps with markers...I love the varied look you can get with one stamp i.e. highlight a part of the image or word, add multiple colors to one stamp, blend colors on your image and so much more!
Stamping with watercolor pens was fun, in that it didn't leave such a crisp stamped image like markers do...it truly left a water-colored appearance to each image. I had a fun time creating this layout...fun techniques and good memories to document.
If you want to see more samples with stamping with markers, check out this technique article I did over at Hero Arts...some fun, different ways to stamp with markers.
Also, if your looking for a fun shaped mini album idea, check out this album I created of our Annual Summer Vacation to Lake Powell. I die-cut chipboard with a scalloped circle die from Sizzix and then die-cut papers and my photos with the same shape to glue on top. It was such a fun and simple album to create! You can check it out here at BHG, Scrapbooks etc. site.
We are off to California to the beach for the weekend...my brother-in-law is getting married and it should be a wonderful trip. I hope that the kids are good on the plane! Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Impact of Beef Quality on Market Signals Transmitted by Grid Pricing
Value-based marketing is shaping cattle production; however, market signals differ dramatically depending on carcass quality. This study applies a two-stage coefficients of separate determination procedure to four regional fed cattle datasets sorted by grid value and by carcass quality attributes. Weight is the strongest signal sent when higher valued cattle and better quality cattle are sold on a grid. Quality characteristics send stronger signals when lower valued cattle and poorer quality cattle are sold on a grid. Producers of lower quality cattle can potentially gain $52 to $149 per head by improving quality and $113 to $150 per head by adding weight.

Do you still remember the cute old lady asking .where.s the beef?. That was one catchy slogan. It outlived the brand.s use of the slogan, just like .I.m Going To Disneyland.. An effective slogan can mean the difference between an advertisement being seen and being remembered. Here are some tips to help make your own .Got Milk?. or other timeless tag line.
. Associative. Your tag line should represent your product or service in only a few words. The main benefit of what you are offering should somehow be invoked. .Maybe she.s born with it.Maybe it.s Maybelline,. emphasizes the natural beauty brought out with their make up brand.
. Differentiating. Let people know the difference between your brand and the competition. .The quicker picker-upper,. says .these towels will clean up your mess faster than the other guys..
. Simple. The most effective slogans are short and sweet. Witty is good, but humor is subjective and frequently just clich/span>. .Be all you can be,. says a ton in only five short words.
. Emotion. Invoke emotion or need in consumers. How many times have you said, .Can you hear me now?. on a phone with a bad connection? Hearing someone confidently say .good. after the question makes us feel good.
. Sticky. The slogan needs to be memorable and maintain freshness. Anything trendy will not work in the long run and anything forgettable isn.t worth your money. .This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs,. is engrained in everyone.s minds though this line hasn.t been used for years.
Remember these tricks when making a slogan and you.ll be sure to create a memorable image that lasts.
What.s your favorite company slogan? Have you created a successful tagline for your company?

 I have to confess that I think Steve Ballmer has done a good job...
 ...at surviving an egg attack from a protesting student at the Corvinus University in Budapest.
 The student follows a verbal accusation with a couple of eggs - Steve Ballmer ducks behind the podium and avoids getting tagged! You can see the incident on this video at the BBC website. You can see that he looks pretty angry at first but quickly gathers his composure to laugh it after the student has left the room.

 Aside from the fact that this presents an ethical dilemma between national security and reasonable individual rights to privacy (which is a separate rat hole in and of itself), this also illustrates just how poorly our government representatives understand technology.
 I mean, unless they plan to capture every single octet of data on the wire, anyone wishing to make nefarious phone calls or emails to plot against national security can easily circumvent this. Do they plan to try and get the Skype P2P network updating their database? :) Do they have some clever way of detecting email that isn't sent over the standard ports? Nope - this is another great way to burgle the taxpayer. Dumb!!

 As a personal survivor of the 2004 tsunami and being involved in the relief work (thank you Sun for the compassionate leave), I know first hand the sort of devastation a natural disaster like the one in the Irrawaddy delta region of Myanmar can cause.
 It's good practice to keep clear of politics in a Sun-badged blog but I'm deeply saddened that the Burmese military junta is preventing a free flow of urgent life saving aid to the affected people. The horrific loss of life and damage to homes, infrastructure and supply routes together with the despair that the apparent isolation and lack of help must be causing is, quite simply, unconscionable.
 Folks in the region will probably never see these words - but my thoughts are with you all.
 https://blogs.oracle.com/jimmo/entry/why_video_games_could_be Why video games could be damaging your children jimmo 2007-10-29T06:16:22+00:00 2008-05-02T16:58:51+00:00
 Much of the controversy around the way video games affect our children has been around the violent nature of the games, in much the same way as violence in film has been accused of causing "copy-cat" behaviour amongst the impressionable young.
 However, there is circumstantial evidence of a far more insidious effect, especially among younger children due to the use of video games as a form of "surrogate" for imaginative play.
 It is widely accepted that mental faculties can atrophy with disuse, in much the same way as a lack of physical exercise can cause the body to weaken. One needs to exercise the brain to keep it sharp and agile.
 The potential harm from video games comes less from the content of the game and more from the fact that it does the imaginative play on behalf of the child. The older generation may remember how we used to play with even the most simplest of toys, constructing rich mental landscapes of play and imaginary interaction.
 Now, however, all you need to do is switch on a box and that rich landscape is graphically portrayed for you on screen. The child is drawn in to this artificial world without any need to use intrinsic mental imagination. I first observed this in my own daughter, who could play computer games for hours on end if we, her parents, did not intervene. I also noticed that my other daughter would happily play for hours with "traditional" toys, chattering away to herself in her imaginary world while her older sister seemed to have lost all interest in any real-world playthings.
 The concern here is that when one loses the ability to imagine for yourself, you also start to lose the ability to intrinsically entertain oneself...turning instead to artificially induced entertainment in the virtual world of the video game. What happens when the child grows older and ultimately becomes bored of the video game? What do they do then?
 This could be one of many reasons why antisocial behaviour in teens (and even pre-teens) is on the increase. It's not that we had a more entertaining environment when we were that age. Perhaps the inability to entertain oneself leads to a form of boredom that forces the child to seek out extrinsic stimulation from the surrounding environment, which in turn can lead to exactly the sort of antisocial behaviour we're now seeing?
 Of course, it would be a gross over-simplification to lay all of societies ills at the feet of video games but I do think there is definitely a relevant factor here. I believe the lack of imaginative play results in the atrophying of the imagination, which in turn leads to a dependence on external stimulus and that can, in some cases, lead to addiction (and video game addiction is a very real phenomenon).
 Now, I'm not calling for anything so extreme as a ban on video games or any such draconian measures. I simply think that rationing the amount of time our children spend playing games may be more than just sensible, it may actually be better for their mental health! https://blogs.oracle.com/jimmo/entry/things_that_go_bang_in Things that go bang in Beijing jimmo 2007-05-08T21:14:29+00:00 2008-05-08T17:18:27+00:00
 It's been incredibly busy these days and the amount of work going on has meant that I've been attending a lot of late night calls while on my travels.
 Currently, I'm in Beijing once again. This is a noisy and busy city. Personally, I enjoy this metropolitan melting-pot of experiences. It's amazing! As I sit by the window, I can hear a constant cacophony of assorted sounds floating in on the dusty, warm air.
 Someone is angle-grinding and metalworking, various people are calling to each other. A few people seem to be competing for the "who can lean on their car horn the longest" trophy, one of whom has decided to go for an interesting rhythm - perhaps to get points for artistic interpretation? You never feel alone in Beijing, even when you're alone!
 Every single day, at all sorts of random times, I hear something explode. I'm assuming it's some kind of firecracker but, good grief, they're loud! In fact, on some days, you can hear cracks, bangs and booms reverberating around the city - some in the distance, some close by.
 Outside the apartment, there is a narrow road that is literally filled with hairdressing salons, little fruit and vegetable shops and the occasional small family run restaurant. I've never seen so many hairdressers and barbers in one street before - and they all seem to be busy with customers. This explains all those young girls with frizzy 1980's hairstyles strutting around.
 On an adjacent road, there are some tiny little brick built structures, basically consisting of a room with a window at the front and a curtain. If the curtains aren't closed, you can sometimes see a heavily made up young lady, often provocatively dressed, perched on wooden stool staring out at the world with dull, soul-less eyes. Fancy a little "extra service" after your hair cut? No problem!
 We have a little supermarket nearby, where the checkout tills use barcode readers that frequently fail to read the barcode and the operator would rather not sell you the product, as that means having to type that long string of numbers in. Even at the big Carrefour, I was told that I couldn't use my international credit card, despite standing right underneath a huge cardboard sign proclaiming how international cards were welcomed! Luckily, most food items are incredibly good value here in China - especially for a visiting lao wai (foreigner) so it's no problem to produce the required cash.
 Don't get me wrong, this place is fantastic and it's a veritable roller-coaster of experiences. The food can vary from the truly delicious to the blood-curdlingly horrific. The smells on one street can make you salivate with hunger, but turn the corner and you've got a lungful of the unspeakable. Delicious fresh fruit is sold from cute little wooden stalls and most of the time you don't get to see the seller emptying their nose with their fingers prior to loading your strawberries into a little plastic bag by that same hand.
 The countryside can be equally rewarding. Not long ago I went pony trekking up at 12000 feet in Sichuan. Wonderful, aside from some saddle-sores that I'll not dwell on now. Getting there by bus was an experience. It seems that virtually all men smoke in rural areas, and they don't stop when they're on a bus, except to cough up some phlegm onto the floor between the seats.
 It seems that smoking on a bus isn't considered antisocial out in the boonies. However, opening a window twill result in you getting shouted at because, apparently, it's very selfish to let in that cold, fresh air while trying to breathe.
 Laid back, open minded travellers will love China. Uptight, neurotic westerners will probably struggle. Frankly, I think it's a great place. https://blogs.oracle.com/jimmo/entry/daylight_saving_time_isn_t Daylight saving time isn't worth the trouble jimmo 2007-03-25T05:29:11+00:00 2007-03-25T13:29:11+00:00
 Changing our clocks for daylight saving time allegedly saves energy but I haven't seen any data that supports that assertion.
 I was in Menlo Park during the recent DST change in the US. Prior to the change, I would wake up to a warm morning but after the change, it was barely dawn and the night chill was still in the air...which meant I, for one, used more energy; lights because it was dark and heating because it was cold.
 The energy saving claim just doesn't scan with me and it seems that I'm not the only one who finds this explanation dubious. Kellogg and Wolff of the University of California Energy Institute wrote this paper that digs into these claims and concludes that they're inaccurate.
 Now, I don't have anything against DST in terms of the choice of hour, I just wish we'd stop tweaking the clocks back and forth - not to mentioning causing chaos by changing when we tweak them for, apparently, no genuine benefit. I end up having to re-adjust my mental clock in relation to all my colleagues and friends in different locations around the world, which drives me nuts.
 Pick a time and stick to it. Please! https://blogs.oracle.com/jimmo/entry/are_you_suffering_from_patch Are you suffering from patch pain? jimmo 2007-03-20T23:30:39+00:00 2007-03-21T10:55:02+00:00
 Patching is a hot issue for me right now. More and more of our customers are struggling to install ever larger and more complex patches, especially in a production environment. In this blog entry, I'll guide you through what's happened, why it's happened, what Sun is doing about it and how you can make your own life easier too!
 Prior to Solaris 10, when a version of Solaris was released, the scale of change allowed in that release was very constrained. Usually the only changes we'd make to the code were for bug fixes and, very occasionally, support for a new platform. As a result, the Solaris patches released by Sun contained predominantly corrective code.
 That all changed for Solaris 10.
 Now we have significant features being integrated into Solaris, primarily intended for Solaris 10 updates...except, of course, many of these features also get delivered through the corresponding patches because they're built from the same Solaris 10 source code.
 Unfortunately, there have been two serious ramifications from this approach...

Some of the features touch a significant proportion of the code, creating a big web of dependencies that force all those dependencies into the same patch. That's why the kernel patch is so big!

Some of the features introduce interface and/or behavioural changes that don't play nicely with the running system performing the 'patchadd', this makes it inordinately difficult for us to build a stable, installable KU. It's also the main reason for the 79 special notes at the end of the kernel patch README :(

 So what are we doing about this?
 Firstly, we're "rejuvenating" the kernel update which splits out all the dependencies so that, with the last KU installed, subsequent patches can be smaller once again.
 Secondly, we're reviewing the integration review processes to ensure that appropriate verification is in place to ensure that features are tested in the "patch install" context prior to integration.
 Thirdly, we're identifying enhancements and bug fixes to the patch and packaging utilities that will help them cope better with features being delivered in patches.
 There's also something else that you can do for yourself - configure your production systems for Live Upgrade.
 To be honest, Sun has not done a good job at encouraging the adoption of live upgrade and that's a shame. Anyone running in a production environment should be taking a very long, hard look at live upgrade because it enables you to apply patches or upgrade your Solaris release while still in production.
 Because live upgrade applies the changes to an "alternate boot environment" (effectively an offline clone of your currently booted Solaris disk image), you don't need to be in single user mode to apply the KU - in fact, you can install a whole cluster of patches with your server still running in full production mode...just reboot into the updated alternate boot environment and you're away!
 Furthermore, should you encounter any problems, you can reboot back to your original boot environment straight away - no lengthy downtime while you repair the damage. A huge amount of the pain associated with installing patches and managing your maintenance windows goes away when you use Live Upgrade.
 I strongly urge everyone to reconfigure to enable Live Upgrade. You'll be glad you did!

 Prodded by a reference from Catwoman I am forced back into the light to admit that I'm still alive.
 I struggle with blogs because I find it hard to think about something interesting and worthwhile to blog about - it's not that my life's dull, it's just that the interesting stuff isn't really suitable for poking into my employer's online blogroll.
 Seriously, who really cares what I think anyway? :)
 Anyway, in response to the tag from Catwoman, I'll have to add an entry with the 5 things you didn't know about me.
 You know one thing, though...blogging does not float my boat.

 I'm delighted with the standard of education my daughter receives from her nursery school. What I'm less enamoured with is the way she brings home virulent infections from the other children. After a few days of nursing and cleaning up after my children, I have spent the past couple of days shouting "Ralph!" into my porcelain bathroom furniture.

 Yup, children are the modern day analogue of the plague carrying rats of the 1300's. Fortunately, they're not carrying anything as bad as the Black Death or Ebola but still, I feel absolutely rotten. Yes, I know I'll live but frankly it's only the hope of dying that is keeping me alive!

 Yesterday I was supposed to be going to Prague to help interview a few candidates. Sadly, the rebellion taking place in my duodenal tract was having none of it. I briefly toyed with the idea of taking a chance and going anyway, as most of these bugs ease off after a good night's sleep. Luckily I didn't, because my colleague phoned me to let me know that Heathrow Airport was heaving with people as British Airways didn't have enough staff to handle the passenger load. They were delayed a few hours as a result and I am most glad that I didn't spend those few hours damp-kneed before the stainless steel altar of an airport lavatory.

Ah yes, I do wish I'd made it to Prague. Lovely city! I remember seeing a web page (inside Sun's internal network) on hints and tips for visitors to Prague. It was clearly written by one of our American cousins, judging by their comments about which beers to drink. Hey boys! The dark beers are the best! I guess it's an aquired taste for those more accustomed to the vaguely-beerish frozen swill that predominates the US beer industry. Yes, I know you have micro-breweries which I admit can turn out a palatable brew, although usually way too fizzy. The Tied House in Mountain View, CA, did a rather nice cinnamon-flavoured winter beer which I've sadly not seen there since.

Now, as for the wine - that's a different story...I'm particularly fond of fine wines, so I'll post a blog entry on that later. For now, I'd better attend to the urgent signals coming from my lower digestive system.

They are overused, often for no better reason than "because we can". As a side effect, wiki nazis are starting to crawl out of the woodwork and harangue people who don't use wiki for their own pages.

I'm used to hand-authoring html and css. I hate the lack of fine control over my layout and structure.

Ugly to look at, often horrible to navigate. I've seen some truly incomprehensible sites with hideous layouts where it's hard to find the information you're looking for, if it even exists at all (not that this is unique to wiki-like resources)

Yet another grungy, nasty syntax to learn. Yeah I could learn it but I'm bored and fed up with learning new ways to do things slower and uglier than before.

Come on, be honest. How many wiki pages have you seen where little or no collaboration actually takes place anyway? Yeah. Loads.

Contradiction in terms though it may be, snipsnap both sucks and blows.

 I'm sure there are good uses of wiki and friends out there. Do you know a wiki site on the web that is good looking, well structured, easy to navigate and genuinely useful as a collaborative tool? Add a comment and gimme the URL.

Information Technology can be a lonely occupation, as it tends to attract the geekier of us. Worse still, due to the historic bias within societies for the conditioning of gender roles, the female population within IT is smaller than it should be. Too many of us fritter away our free time with our square-headed girlfriends instead of more normal human activities like eating, exercising and - heaven forbid - actually finding out what someone elses skin feels like.

As I right this, my beloved wife has stomped off upstairs while I finish my email (which could have waited) and write this blog entry (which, let's face it, you're probably realising that it wasn't a smart move to read).

Anyway, learn from my mistake! Don't neglect your spouses. (For some reason, I feel the plural of "spouse" should be "spice"). I'm going to go and spend time with mine now - hopefully, she'll still be pleased to see me.

Good night!
 https://blogs.oracle.com/jimmo/entry/the_fate_of_hot_patching The fate of "hot patching" (DUKS) and a new way of doing it jimmo 2004-08-05T07:09:53+00:00 2004-08-05T14:09:53+00:00
Way back when Solaris 8 was being developed, I came up with a way to dynamically revector the flow of execution in a running kernel. This idea came about because a large number of the bug fixes we were producing for customers were fairly simple...not all of them but quite a few. Customers were being forced to install new kernel binaries and reboot to verify our fixes, which introduced additional delay into the time it takes us to produce a patch.

By being able to load a replacement bit of code (via the loadable module mechanism) and revectoring the execution flow, we could allow our customers to try out the fix without having to wait for their next scheduled downtime. Sadly, it was never possible to do this for formal patches because the dependencies in the patches were invariably too extensive. That's ok, because it was only really intended to get a preliminary bug fix or diagnostic code change into a live kernel quickly.

One of the biggest problems with implementing something like this is that the architectural design of the operating system software needs to have this facility designed in. There are a number of ways to try and "retrofit" the capability but none of them really work very well.

Anyway, that got me thinking about how we could implement such a facility from scratch - should we ever get the chance. Well, last December I was implementing a VM layer on an toy x86 operating system I was writing at home and it occurred to me that we could use a similar method to the way address translation is performed with page tables and apply it to this problem. In fact, it wouldn't take a huge leap of technology to hardware accelerate the translation process from 32-bit code to function (method) address because the ability to walk software maintained tables is already in the hardware. Woohoo! A high performance dynamically updateable software architecture!

I've had a paper on this published via the Research Disclosure Database so rather than go into detail here, if you're interested just read the paper.

Psst! Have you heard that the Solaris source code will be opened to the community? Yes, it's true and this was a topic of discussion at a recent OSCON.

There's enormous momentum within Sun to open up the Solaris source code and embrace the open source community. I'm a member of the OpenSolaris council (also known by it's internal codename "tonic") and I can tell you,the timescales are aggressive!

One of our blog readers, Yusuf Goolamabbas, emailed me with a great idea...how about having publically accessible build machines for OpenSolaris? We think this exactly what we need to do. I forwarded his proposal to the OpenSource council and so far, it's been well received. Hopefully, we will have Solaris 10 servers with secure "developer zones" where you can login, take a child of the source and start strutting your funky stuff! Watch this space - and don't forget to join the OpenSolaris developer community when it's launched. I believe a web site for this is in the pipeline already.

Of course, there may be some skeptics out there. How will we make money by doing this? Why will the community want to participate? Well, the answer is simply that the passion within the engineering community at Sun for both Solaris and the open source community is enormous, a fact that has been largely opaque to the outside world so far. Furthermore, the technology we've got in Solaris now is just too good not to share!

We will open our source. Will you open your mind?

 It's been a while since I updated this blog...yeah, well I've been busy.

 Our email network has got loads of Window's viruses (virii?) flying about; mostly from infected laptops I believe. Of course, Sun/Solaris machines are immune but it's irritating to get a mailbox full of this stuff.

 Microsoft are a cunning bunch of marketeers. They make a big song and dance about having a large team of engineers focused on security. Naturally, the message is spun to make it sound reassuring about how serious they take security. Well, maybe so. Of course, the main reason why they have such a huge security team (and we have such a small one) is because they're code is so atrociously insecure!

 It's more than just security holes in the code; the architecture of their operating environment is vulnerable to virus infection. Mail readers like "outhouse express" that execute attachments for you (well, they know better than you what you want to do - right?) are a good example. Promoting an environment that makes ease-of-use for the user a priority is fine but there needs to be a secure architecture behind it. More and more of the security enhancements from Trusted Solaris are making their way into our "vanilla" Solaris operating system. Plus we have zones (a facility similar in concept to "BSD jails") in Solaris 10...it rocks!

 I think I've just about recovered from my June travels! First I went to Prague with our director, Diann Olden, to see about maybe setting up a new team there. With the loss of the Moscow heads at MCST, we had some headcount to make use of and Prague piqued our interest. We also considered St. Petersburg, which is also more cost effective compared to western Europe, however there are some minor disadvantages; you need a visa to go there, it's three hours time difference as opposed to just one in Prague (and we already overlap with India) and I'm not yet sure about the state of the infrastructure. Prague is almost as inexpensive but is very well developed, easy to get to with no visa requirements with a good pool of resources available. Prague here we come!

 After that, I had a few days at home before going over to California for our FY05 management planning meeting. It seems we've done rather well on the goals we set ourselves in our business plan from last year! How refreshing! :)

 Finally, I had a week off in Hong Kong and Macau. Lovely! I had some air miles that were going to expire so I thought it best if I use them and I had just enough for an economy round-trip ticket to Hong Kong. Pretty girls, good food and stinking hot weather. Paradise!

 Now, however, it's back to my blue and purple cage at Sun and I have to start wrestling with open source support strategies again. Joy!

Anyone who reads more than one or two of the above summaries will realize that it is far more difficult, especially recently, to modify probation early so as to end it, particularly in certain types of cases.
Expungement, or more properly described as a petition for dismissal (nowhere in any California statute is the word "expungement" used), is far easier. As long as a person is qualified, the judge must grant the petition. If probation has been successfully completed or is terminated early, and the defendant is not then serving a sentence, on probation, or charged with any offense, relief must be granted. People v. Hawley (1991) 228 Cal.App.3d 247, 249, 278 Cal.Rptr. 389.
In other words, a defendant is entitled as a matter of right to the benefits of Penal Code § 1203.4 upon a showing that he or she has fulfilled the conditions of probation. People v. Chandler (1988) 203 Cal.App.3d 782.
This is based upon California Penal Code § 1203.4, which provides that in any case where a defendant has fulfilled the conditions of probation for the entire period of probation and probation has terminated and the defendant is not then serving a sentence for any offense, on probation for any offense, or charged with the commission of any offense, the court must, upon defendant's application, set aside and dismiss the information. Penal Code § 1203.4, subdivision (a).
Any case is not all cases. Expungement is not available in any case where one was sent to state prison or one was convicted of violating:
California Penal Code § 288 (lewd acts with a child);
California Penal Code § 286 (sodomy with a child);
California Penal Code § 288a (oral copulation with a child); or
California Penal Code § 261.5(d) (statutory rape when the defendant is 21 or older and victim is under 16).
In our experience, it is very rare to be convicted of one of the above four offenses and not be sent to state prison.
In contrast, a motion to modify probation in any way is addressed to the sound discretion of the court. California Penal Code § 1203.3, subdivision (a) provides that "[t]he court shall have authority at any time during the term of probation to revoke, modify, or change its order of suspension of imposition or execution of sentence." See e.g., People v. Allen (1975) 46 Cal.App.3d 583, 588.
Therefore, we find that if one is seeking to have probation ended early, it can be smart to attend additional Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) classes or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) classes if such classes were part of the terms of probation.
Likewise, if one had to perform community service, it is smart to do more community service in exchange for a better deal from the court. After all, probation is a contract with the judge and to sweeten the contract, the party seeking the improved deal ought to give more to get a better deal.
In present times, many people are struggling to find work or get a promotion. It is this reality that judges often have not experienced, being longer term government employees. Judges are often skeptical or cynical of this situation or claim. District attorneys often also have a callous attitude toward such claims unless they have some real world experience struggling to find a job.
It is therefore wise not to make such employment difficulties the only basis for the request, as judges have surely heard such arguments before. There needs to be more to the request that distinguishes the motion from all others. We find it is best to provide concrete facts or specifics that the judge can maybe appreciate.

Scripting the Sonatype Nexus Pro instalation
The installer for NexusPro uses Install4J. Although the Nexus documentation doesn't explain how, you can script the installer by providing a response.varfile. I found this to be quite picky about order and arguments, the ones shown below are known to work in this specific order.
% bash ./nexus-pro-trial-installer-latest-unix.sh -varfile response.varfile -q -dir /home/builder/nexus -overwrite -splash
Boom! It installs without question. It should be available at http://localhost:8081/nexus/index.html

The lads Sparrowhawk build update
Thanks to the nicely engineered kit and the laser cutting progress was swift on the lads model. After assembling the wings, the tail features and fuselage came together quickly and we found ourselves with a completed airframe.
First build with the lad
The lad has a few of my old rubber models hung in his room, currently sporting the Red Wing, Tomtit and Beaver as ceiling decoration. Recently he seems (like most kids his age I think) to be quite into Minions, and asked if we could paint the Red Wing blue and yellow. I explained that much paint wouldn't really help fly well – we still occasionally fly it. But I asked if he would like to build a model with me, learning how it is built and covered and then we could cover it in blue and yellow tissue to match the damn Minions! He seemed really excited by this idea, so a plan was formed. I just needed a likely candidate. Quite by chance I was flicking through the pages of this months Aeromodeller when I saw a review of one of the Vintage Model Companys range of 8 Magnificent flying machines. This one in particular was the Sparrowhawk, so I ordered one and this week we started the build. Below you can see the little man with the almost completed wings. Much fun is being had, even if he is a little heavy handed with the glue! Nothing that a bit of careful wiping can't solve though!
Mossie in flight
It is rare that I get a shot of any of my models in flight, so when my father expressed an interest in seeing the Mosquitto in the air I suggested he brought along his camera. A couple of the shots are below, the rest on the Mossie page.
Northolt Open day 2015
Our local RAF base, Northolt holds an airshow once a year, this was the first year since living in the area that I manage to attend. The weather was pretty dire, meaning most of the headliners of the flying program couldn't fly, the kids and I had worn ourselves out walking around the various static attractions and given the lack of flying we decided to leave. Our route back to the car took us up a public road which passes by the end of the runway. From here I could make out the DH Rapide starting its engines and generally looking like it was about to fly. So we sat patiently and waited, and lo! we finally saw some action. Our vantage point right at the end of the runway made for some great shots, a gallery of which can be seen below.
WLMAC Scale Day 2015
My club holds a friendly scale competition once a year. The gallery below shows a few shots I took while at this years event, I didn't take part this year but was happy to stand around chatting and taking some pics. It was very nice to meet Richard Crapp and Mick Reeves, who both turned up with a couple of BMFA scale judges to talk about the competition side of the hobby. Overall a very enjoyable day.
Fournier problems
The rear turtle deck of the Fournier and I never really got on. It is supplied as a vac-formed component which is trimmed to fit and glued over the formers and stringers. Initially I used the same Titebond which I have used for the rest of the build, however when I visited the shed the morning after I heard a disturbing crack when I handled the fuselage. Further investigation revealed the glue simply hadn't stuck to the plastic and the entire deck fell off. Oh, lesson learned then, Titebond and plastic don't mix.
For the next attempt I used Canopy glue which seemed to do the trick, the bond was good and even after a bit of prodding it refused to budge.
After construction was finished, I moved onto the covering, for this I've stuck to something familiar, which is basic Solarfilm. The wings were covered pretty quickly and focus turned to the fuselage, this is where the problems began. The first bit I tried was to tackle the turtle deck. The film went on easily enough, and as I left it in the shed I was quite pleased with the results. The problems came however the next morning when I popped into the shed to check on the results, to my horror literally hundreds of small bubbles had appeared all over the damn thing. I tried to remove these by turning up the iron and slowly working them out, at this point I managed to melt the turtle deck slightly such that it deformed. sigh!
I made a swift decision to give up with the vac formed component, and proceeded to remove it completely, using the removed deck (I managed to get it off in one piece) as a template I fashioned a new one from 1/64″ ply. I soaked the ply and clamped it over the fuselage overnight to dry, the next day it held its shape well enough to be simply glued on with thin cyano. A bit of filler around the edges and its looking acceptable again. Below are a couple of pics, also showing the painted cockpit, waiting for a pilot.

Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The 2008 Audi A4 represents a unique class of sports sedan. Appointed with a luxurious leather interior and more standard features thank you could ask for in sedan of its class, the A4 delivers an all-around great package for a reasonable price. A 6-speed manual transmission in this little 2.0L 4-cylinder sedan provides plenty of pep to get you where you want to go and tickles the driving enthusiast in all of us. While it is touted as a sports sedan, the A4 still provides a comfortably cushy ride that makes you feel you've paid thousands more for your vehicle. Its sleek streamlines and well-appointed insides are a testament to the careful German engineering that went into its beautiful design. Simply peek inside at the illuminated gauges and uniform red lights to see why the A4 has consumers licking their chops. What really sets the Audi apart from other entry-level luxury cars is its available all-wheel-drive. For those drivers having to deal with less than ideal winter conditions, the A4 handles smoothly in the snow and has no match among competitors. Though seemingly pricey to some, the Audi represents a bargain in its class for all the bells and whistles it comes with. Style and performance are a top priority in this model and it most definitely shows. Simply ease your way into the driver's seat, adjust the 8-way power setting to your liking, and feel why the 2008 Audi A4 is a sedan in a class all its own.

Hi There -
First, thank you for writing/improving this plugin; it was just what the doctor ordered on my site. I think I found a bug I wanted to run past you...
I installed the plugin and configured it to notify all roles when a new topic is posted, but I did not want the notification for replies since I want to let users subscribe to replies (or not). So, I left all roles unchecked for in the "Replies sent to..." section.
Problem is: In addition to new posts, when my users REPLIED to a post it notified everyone even though the roles were left unchecked.
Have you seen this error before?
I deactivated the plugin but have upgraded to the newest version. I have not tried it activating again in order to avoid spamming my users. I wanted to make sure the issue was resolved before re-enabling.
Thank you in advance for any help or insight you can provide!

Championship Week serves as the perfect preview of the NCAA Tournament. It's a warm-up for the elite, a proving ground for the middle and a back door small schools use to crash the Big Dance. For those with a chance at having One Shining Moment, this week is the ultimate cram session before their final exam.
Every conference tournament will be exciting, and many will be compelling. But none will be better than this year's ACC tournament in Tampa.
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
Al Skinner and Boston College have made their mark in the ACC.
The intrigue behind the conference stretches far beyond the recent drama between Gerald Henderson and Tyler Hansbrough. There's the incredible balance within the conference, the battle between old-money powerhouses, the resuscitated upstarts and the fact that no team has shown anything approaching invincibility. The stylistic differences between the top nine teams can be staggering, but the difference among them in quality of play is paper thin.
Oh, and there's Henderson-Hansbrough. Or is it Krzyzewski-Williams?
This is the conference tournament you'll want to see. Here are seven reasons why.
1. Anything could happen
This is no longer the Duke Invitational, which it's been the past nine years, when Duke won eight and lost the 2004 final to Maryland in overtime. The chance that the ACC could -- but probably won't -- put eight teams in the Dance has overshadowed the fact that this is the most wide-open conference tournament this year.
The ACC has nine teams in the RPI Top 50, three of which are in the top 15. But consider those three. North Carolina got the top seed when Virginia lost to bottom-feeder Wake Forest. Neither Duke nor Maryland earned one of the four first-round byes.
Virginia Tech is hard to support. The Hokies beat Carolina twice, but lost twice to NC State. Maryland is the hottest team in the conference, but it's hard to forget its home loss to Miami. Virginia has taken L's from the Canes and Wake. Georgia Tech finished strong, but it looks like last year's team away from the Thrillerdome. In the past five games, Boston College has gone from a tournament lock -- worlds better than anyone thought it would be after Sean Williams' suspension -- to looking like a double-digit NCAA Tournament seed. But BC's top three scorers are as effective as any other top trio in the ACC.
If you've written Duke off because the Blue Devils finished seventh in the conference with an 8-8 record, think again. They easily could make some noise. Four of those losses were by six or fewer points, and -- unlike most of the teams above them in the standings -- the Blue Devils never snoozed against the bottom three teams in the conference: Miami, Wake Forest and NC State. That means there's a great chance of
2. Carolina-Duke III!
Is the rivalry overhyped? Not anymore.
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
We're pretty sure these two aren't making dinner plans.
Nasty, you see, is beautiful.
If Duke (without suspended Henderson) beats NC State, the Blue Devils will face Virginia in a rematch of a game they should have won in Charlottesville last month. Next would be Georgia Tech or Virginia Tech. Again, Georgia Tech struggles away from home. The Hokies beat Duke by one when Greg Paulus had one of the worst individual performances in recent memory -- zero points, two assists, six turnovers, Deron Washington's inseam atop his head and the inbound pass on the last possession bounces off his mug. He can't play that badly again. It's just not possible. The Dukies easily could be playing on Sunday.
Carolina's biggest hurdle would be a Saturday game against either slumping BC or surging Maryland. The Eagles have no Craig Smith-like bruiser to deal with Hansbrough. Maryland has won seven in a row, but it doesn't have enough size in the post to beat Carolina again, especially away from home.
Duke has won eight of the last nine conference tournaments and has dominated Carolina in the past decade. A Duke-UNC final wouldn't just be for the ACC title. It would be for bragging rights in one of sport's most bitter rivalries.
Would you miss that?
3. Seven great point guards
Check this collection of floor generals (listed from north to south): BC's Tyrese Rice, Maryland's Greivis Vasquez, Virginia's Sean Singletary, Virginia Tech's Jamon Gordon, NC State's Engin Atsur, Carolina's Tywon Lawson, and Georgia Tech Javaris Crittenton. No two are alike.
• Rice and Lawson are diminutive and insanely quick.
• Vasquez is a rapidly improving triple-double threat.
• Lawson looks to make plays.
• Rice is a fearless scorer.
• Gordon, the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, can spark a fast break with his knack for getting steals.
• Crittenton is built like a 2-guard and came to Atlanta with the knock that he might be more concerned with scoring than distributing, but his command of the offense (assists are up, turnovers are down) has given Tech a much more comfortable seat on the bubble than this time last month.
• No one is more valuable to his team than Atsur. NC State was worlds different with him than when he was out with a hamstring injury.
• Singletary is the best of them all -- the biggest reason Virginia will be dancing for the first time in six years.
4. Every game will have high stakes
Clemson and Florida State need a couple of wins to save their seasons, and they meet Thursday. Georgia Tech can't afford to lose to Wake Forest. Maryland, Virginia and Virginia Tech can improve their profiles greatly with wins.
An early Boston College loss would force the NCAA selection committee to re-evaluate how significant 10 conference wins really are. Roy Williams openly detests conference tournaments, but the Tar Heels need to be playing on Sunday to lock up a top seed in the Big Dance.
Coach K's face in the final minutes of Sunday's loss to Carolina -- equally bewildered and infuriated -- says all you need to know about how badly Duke needs to play well.
5. No home-court advantage
Gary Williams won't have to complain this year about the conference favoring the North Carolina schools. The ACC tourney is moving from the hoops-rabid environs of Greensboro, Charlotte and Atlanta to the beaches of Tampa, Fla. Tampa is probably the most neutral location possible. It's out of reasonable driving distance for all schools north of Atlanta, which will level the playing field like never before.
Tampa is roughly 275 miles from both Miami and Florida State, and neither cares much about basketball. It seems as though more people show up for summer football workouts than for Canes home basketball games, so who's expecting them to head to Tampa in droves?
6. Catch 'em while you can
Paul Abell/Getty Images
FSU's Al Thornton closed the regular season with 45 points at Miami.
• Jared Dudley's gritty and complete game for Boston College
• Al Thornton, who provides instant offense for Florida State with his smooth versatility
• The perimeter excellence of Virginia Tech's Zabian Dowdell and Virginia's J.R. Reynolds
• Maryland's D.J. Strawberry might be the hardest-working player in the nation.
• Atsur's leadership will be on the same intimate stage for the last time.
Several underclassmen are possibly playing in their last ACC tournament, too: Hansbrough, Lawson, Crittenton, Georgia Tech forward Thaddeus Young, Duke forward Josh McRoberts and Carolina forward Brandan Wright.
Enjoy 'em while you can. They grow up so fast. Often faster than they should.
7. Gary, Gary, Gary
Here's the interesting thing about Gary Williams. He doesn't look much different on the sideline whether Maryland is winning or losing, but you can feel the difference. When his teams are winning, they drip with passion and their fans are maniacal, which makes Williams' hyperintensity look beautiful, as if everything in the building is feeding off him.
When they're losing, it seems as if Williams is a couple sammiches short of a picky-nic basket. Last year in Greensboro, when the Terps were obliterated by BC, he slammed his blazer to the ground so hard during a timeout that people in the upper deck were startled.
Maryland is playing well this year, so Williams is must-see. If the Terps lose, Gary will be a sight then, too.

How to enable single control panel for multiple sites.
My set up at the moment:
I have main site and few other sub sites (separate WP installs in sub folders )
I have followed Network setup/instalation. I can see all ma network sites - but only in my main "dashboard". If I click sub-page "dashboard" - I am being redirected to its own control panel - and I can see "my sites" drop down any more.
So - te question is: what I need to do to have one "dashboard" - control panel for all my sites in one place?

Ethics Bills Flail in the Roundhouse
As time in a brief 30-day Legislative Session ticks away, will these measures fizzle out?
By Marisa Demarco
Charges of corruption abound in this state, and with each confirmation of an ethics breech, public trust dwindles. Accusations of cronyism, the conviction of former state treasurers, charges that politicians skimmed millions off construction funds for the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Courthouse—the parade of shamefaced officials grows ever-longer. Though the governor set health care at the top of the legislative priorities this session, a handful of ethics reform bills also made it onto the agenda. Many were introduced late in the game and haven't been receiving much of a push from the governor or state legislators.

Odds & Ends
By Devin D. O'Leary
Dateline: Croatia--Hundreds of Croatians painted themselves blue and wore silly white hats in an attempt to break the world record for dressing up as Smurfs. A total of 395 turned up dressed as the popular cartoon characters in the town of Komin. But when they contacted Guinness officials to register their record, they were told it was too late. A spokesperson for the organizers said, "We read on the Internet that the record was 290 people held by a group of Americans and decided to beat it. We had TV, radio and print media report our success." Unfortunately, the smurfy record had already been topped last July by 451 people at Warwick University Students' Union in England. One organizer of the wasted Croatian record attempt told reporters, "We could easily have got more Smurfs, but we thought that over a hundred more than the American record we found on the Internet would be enough."
