Prey (original 2002; edition 2002)
by Michael Crichton
Work details
Prey by Michael Crichton (2002)
Books Read in 2015 (682)
Carole's List (270)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A good, fast & entertaining nano-thriller. Not very deep on the emotional scale but creates decent tension in places.
In Nevada and experiment has gone terribly wrong. (Is there any other kind?) The cloud of nanoparticles has escaped from the lab but it unlike any other type before it. It lives, reproduces and appears to think. It has been programed as a predator and it has found it's prey - US. A very scientifically scary book, but no scarier than our congress.
Absolutely could not put it down, read it over the weekend. Very absorbing, technical but not off-putting. Great story, creepy premise. Starts out quite light-hearted but rapidly descends to a personal horror for our hero. I Loved It!
Read it a book club. Not bad, not great.
Although the book is ostensibly about nanotechnology gone wrong, and includes a decent amount of info on nanotech (including a reading list at the back of the book), it really progresses more like a horror novel... As always with Crichton's books, the writing is very straightforward but eminently readable.... but too much of Crichton's extremly ill-informed and annoying personal opinions come through in the book.
Prey is a thriller, well constructed and fun to read, like Michael Crichton's other books.
Prey finds him in familiar territory, cooking up devilish situations for mankind at the hands of scientists working without restraint and manipulated by big business for their own greedy ends.
As a writer, Crichton has always been a businessman, but his novels are usually competent. This one is dull, dull, dull. Science fiction can work (Alien, Blade Runner), but only where the mix of science and fiction is right.
Crichton dresses up his stories in contemporary clothes, and the nature of the threat is as much a wardrobe decision as anything else. It is, in fact, the key decision, and his alighting on nanotechnology is inspired.
But ''Prey'' blazes enough trails that no one will mind that none of them are literary.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0061015725, Mass Market Paperback)In Prey, bestselling author Michael Crichton introduces bad guys that are too small to be seen with the naked eye but no less deadly or intriguing than the runaway dinosaurs that made 1990's Jurassic Park such a blockbuster success.
High-tech whistle-blower Jack Forman used to specialize in programming computers to solve problems by mimicking the behavior of efficient wild animals--swarming bees or hunting hyena packs, for example. Now he's unemployed and is finally starting to enjoy his new role as stay-at-home dad. All would be domestic bliss if it were not for Jack's suspicions that his wife, who's been behaving strangely and working long hours at the top-secret research labs of Xymos Technology, is having an affair. When he's called in to help with her hush-hush project, it seems like the perfect opportunity to see what his wife's been doing, but Jack quickly finds there's a lot more going on in the lab than an illicit affair. Within hours of his arrival at the remote testing center, Jack discovers his wife's firm has created self-replicating nanotechnology--a literal swarm of microscopic machines. Originally meant to serve as a military eye in the sky, the swarm has now escaped into the environment and is seemingly intent on killing the scientists trapped in the facility. The reader realizes early, however, that Jack, his wife, and fellow scientists have more to fear from the hidden dangers within the lab than from the predators without.
The monsters may be smaller in this book, but Crichton's skill for suspense has grown, making Prey a scary read that's hard to set aside, though not without its minor flaws. The science in this novel requires more explanation than did the cloning of dinosaurs, leading to lengthy and sometimes dry academic lessons. And while the coincidence of Xymos's new technology running on the same program Jack created at his previous job keeps the plot moving, it may be more than some readers can swallow. But, thanks in part to a sobering foreword in which Crichton warns of the real dangers of technology that continues to evolve more quickly than common sense, Prey succeeds in gripping readers with a tense and frightening tale of scientific suspense. --Benjamin Reese

In the Nevada desert, an experiment has gone horribly wrong. A cloud of nanoparticles-micro-robots-has escaped from the laboratory. This cloud is self-sustaining and self-reproducing. It is intelligent and learns from experience. For all practical purposes, it is alive. It has been programmed as a predator. It is evolving swiftly, becoming more deadly with each passing hour. Every attempt to destroy it has failed. And we are the prey.… (more)

HIS OWN FLASH AND BLOOD: Happy 27th to Prince, who threw a birthday bash for himself and 800 guests in St. Paul, Minn. For the whoop-de-do, Prince dressed up as a pirate and performed with his band onstage. At one point he became so distracted by an overzealous fan who kept snapping his photo that he proclaimed, "If you take one more picture, I'll..." He suddenly stopped, put his finger in his mouth and sheepishly announced, "That's my dad and it's okay."
X-TRA ADDED ATTRACTION: Joan Fontaine, who won an Oscar in 1941 for Suspicion, says she doesn't like anything in today's movies, TV or theater that is "disturbing or unpleasant." She says she was even shocked by Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song Trilogy. But when it comes to porn movies, the veteran actress takes a more tolerant stance. "I remember going to one once with a Swedish beau," she says. "Then, much later, I was in the "21" Club with another beau, and I suggested we go to a porn theater after dinner. Anyway, we get to the theater and there are two movies playing. He says to me, 'But, Joan, they're five dollars each!' At this point the manager came out, smiled and said, 'It's good to see you, Joan! It's been a long time. For you, it's free.' That wasn't all. Once inside they put the spotlight on us. I was signing autographs. My companion was bright red. Meanwhile, up on the screen, two women were trying to be a pretzel."
BACK TO HER SQUARE ROOTS: While strutting her stuff onstage in Cleveland, Madonna proclaimed, "To my high school geometry teacher in the 10th grade—I told you it wouldn't come in handy!" It didn't take long for that remark to get back to her hometown of Rochester, Mich. The comment found its way to Gerard Tarr, 34, who in 1973 was Madonna's geometry teacher at Rochester Adams High School. After catching her act in Detroit, the teacher then formulated Tarr's Hypothesis: "She and those two dancers were moving in isosceles triangles all night. It was very geometrical; she just doesn't know it."
STATUTORY OFFENSE: Donna Mills, in Florence to film a segment of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, decided to pop in to see Michelangelo's famed marble statue of David. While lost in her thoughts, gazing up at the larger-than-life sculpture, she was jolted back to reality by a barrage of flashbulbs. Turning around she found a group of American tourists who had decided they were more intrigued by her features than David's. Observed Mills: "I bet this is the last time I get top billing over a giant nude man."
DIVINE RETRIBUTION: So there she was, Bette Midler, accepting an award at the annual Women in Film luncheon in Los Angeles. The Divine Miss M is still seething over the experience of making 1982's bomb, Jinxed, after which she and director Don (Escape From Alcatraz) Siegel parted as bitter enemies. "My film career has been short but checkered," said Midler, who joked, "The director of my last film—I call him the Beast of Bur-bank—in younger days floored Barry-more with a left hook. But then, I heard Ethel was asking for it."

It's Friday! I was on the plane last night and realized it was Thursday, not Wednesday like I thought.
Do the weeks go by faster and faster as the year progresses?
Or maybe I'm just getting old.
Don't answer that!
I won't keep you from getting to Gin and Topics. There are some good ones this week.
Thanks to everyone who sends me links. Keep 'em coming!
5. Facebook Parenting. It's doubtful you missed this video, but if you did, it's a must see. It's long (eight-ish minutes), but trust me when I say it's worth watching all the way to the end. All I have to say is if I wrote a letter about my parents, claiming I needed to be paid for the chores I was doing, my dad would have packed my bags and told me to get out in the big, old world and figure it out. And he would have been serious. You can see this dad's response to all the negative responses here. Me? I love it. If I had kids and I threatened to put a bullet through the laptop if they did something like this again (yes, this was the second time), I'd do it. My hat is off to him.
4. Gorilla Lured by iPhone. I LOVE MONKEYS!! I mean, love. I am so doing this. This guy used the front-facing camera on his iPhone, and a mirror, and captured the attention of monkeys. It's freaking awesome. I'm so doing this. You'll find me at the zoo this weekend. THANK YOU, Kat Krieger, for sending this to me!
3. Shearman Lawyer In "Spit-Roast" Email Shame. Deb Dobson sent this to me the other day and I was both appalled and amused. A young attorney, getting ready for a bachelor weekend, sent his buddies a list of rules, including, "Cheating is allowed." Well, it was leaked to the media. And, because the dude sent it from his work email address, he's in a lot of hot water. Turns out, what happens in Vegas lives online forever.
2. The Karate Rap. One of my favorite things Bill Simmons does over at Grantland is have his 20-something intern watch clips from 80s movies and shows and write his reaction. When John Trader sent me this Karate Rap from the 80s, I could only think of that and my reaction. See what you think. It's bad. It's really bad.
1. Tweeting from Beyond the Grave. I can't remember where I was, but I was speaking and we were talking about QR codes. A guy in the audience said his business makes gravestones and he's considering adding QR codes so people can add more information than just the person's name and lifespan. I thought it was both brilliant and morbid. Then Kat Krieger sent me this article and it seems to be a trend!
Happy Weekend, all!

It's amazing the wide range of reactions to the Facebook parenting video. I love how he responded to her and followed through.
@KenMueller I also love that his daughter asked him to ask people on FB if there is any other job, besides stripper, that someone who has their laptop shot can do. Because she's not really leaning toward that job.
@ginidietrich clearly those are some folks with…er…."issues"
I am 100% behind you on the parenting one – I too would have been sent on my merry way if I had ever had the nerve to ask for payment for ANYTHING! Some people think it's a bit extreme but they are from NC where firearms are still our right as US citizens! I am 100% behind this man; he works in the IT field and his daughter didn't think he's find out what she was saying…..POWER TO THE PARENTS!!!!
@PattiRoseKnight That kid will go into the workforce with her eyes wide open. He won't be calling her new boss asking for a pay raise or extra time off for her.
I loved that Orangutan video. My family and I are zoo nuts! This might be a nice little experiment for the weekend.
@Anthony_Rodriguez I am TOTALLY going to try it!
Getting old? Well, you *did* just have a birthday.
@jasonkonopinski You can't read, can you?
@ginidietrich *whistles innocently*
Tweeting from the other side is actually happening. But in the actual sense; if you see Amy Winehouse's Twitter account; "she" is still updating her tweets! He twitter account has been maintained and is regularly updated.
As for the teen, is she was so upset, why couldn't she just talk to her dad. And yes, my dad would have sent me out too. No bags packed.
@Hajra Shut. Up. Her Twitter account is still being maintained?!? I have to check this out.
@ginidietrich Here.. https://twitter.com/#!/amywinehouse
@Hajra I"m not really sure what to say about that.
@ginidietrich I don't understand the motive; are we so celeb crazy that we feel the need to "hold on"; or are we just plain old sadists who like to dissect people and their lives even after they are dead… it is a little troubling I feel.
@ginidietrich Pies….Gin….what's next…mentioning ribs so I can continue the day of drool? Wait…scratch that visual.
@Robb_Wexler LOL!! Mmmmmm
I could totally see myself tweeting from beyond the grave. That would be pretty cool. On a related note I know of a few Facebook pages that belong to people that died but are still being updated/maintained.
@TheJackB How funny that Gini posts this the same day that I stumbled on your Facebook after death post. 🙂
@TheJackB I think you should will your Twitter account to someone who will tweet for you.
@4Hensandrooster Yeah, I have had that experience. Write about parenting you are guaranteed to be criticized.
@4Hensandrooster My absolute favorite is when his daughter asked him to post on FB and ask if there is another job a girl whose laptop is shot through can get…because she's not fond of stripping.
I watched How Does She Do It last night and it made me angry. I have an idea. I'll parent the way I want to and you do it the way you want to and we'll all live harmoniously in this world. Why do people try to shove their beliefs on others?
lol @ "It works on Higher order primates too" and "he's a karate dog, with a karate bone".
@etelligence Isn't that great?? I'm totally going to try it at the zoo.

The Motorola Moto G has the screen, power, build and battery to make much more expensive phones jealous.
- Seth Barton , Expert Reviews
The Moto G is an incredible bargain that punches well above its weight.
Reviews summary
What's good
- Good screen resolution
- Decent battery life
- Fast processor for price range
What's bad
- No 4G LTE support
- Limited on-board storage
- Mediocre camera
Although priced in the budget range, the Motorola Moto G smartphone has wowed reviewers with its impressive screen and specs. This moderately priced phone boasts a 4.5" IPS screen with a resolution of 720p. In a side-by-side comparison with the Nexus 5, Laptop Mag found that the Nexus 5 offered more detail, but the Moto G rendered brighter and bolder colors. Critics also found the screen to be bright and easily readable in outdoor and indoor light settings.
In terms of specs, the G offers a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM and up to 16GB of onboard storage. Although slightly slower when compared to more high-end smartphones, Digital Trends states that it is "a little rocket."
Various benchmark tests done by critics put general performance well under phones like the Nexus 5, however it is able to perform on par during more simple tasks such as browsing the web and using simple apps.
Reviewers note that the efficient processor and display deliver great battery life than standard smartphones. After a 24-hour run test, PCPro found that the G retains 70% of its capacity after 24 hours of mixed usage.
Despite its impressive performance in benchmark tests, the phone does have several drawbacks. One major issue for many reviewers is its lack of storage. There is no expandable storage available, though there is connectivity to Google cloud. Aside from lack of storage, experts also criticized the lack of 4G LTE support and mediocre 5MP rear-facing camera.
Overall, however, most critics find the Moto G to be an excellent phone for the price. GSMArena states that "it's near impossible to match the Moto G's bang for the buck."
Techcrunch hails the Moto G as a "remarkable device" and The Verge states that it "truly redefines what a low-end smartphone can be."
Specs summary
The Motorola Moto G's screen is 4.5 inches with 720 x 1280 pixels resolution.
There is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor Quad core 1.2 GHz processor (CPU).
The phone runs on the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (Update Available: 5.0.2 Lollipop) operating system (OS).

Thursday, November 02, 2006
The New York Daily News today endorsed incumbent Republican Rep. Christopher Shays in his contest against Democratic challenger Diane Farrell, a former Westport first selectwoman.
The text of the editorial: "As a Republican who has been strong on Iraq, Rep. Chris Shays is being challenged by a Democrat who hopes to ride into office on anti-war fury and discontent with President Bush—never mind that Shays has ably represented southwest Connecticut for 19 years.
"Shays is a moderate GOP representative. He's pro-choice, pro-gun control and pro-stem cell research. As chairman of a national security subcommittee, he has pushed to distribute homeland security aid on the basis of risk rather than as pork. And he was Sen. John McCain's House counterpart on campaign finance reform. (Although Shays blundered in failing to include in his own disclosure report the acceptance from an interest group of travel to Qatar and lodging there, as revealed last week by The New Republic.)
"Shays is challenged by former Westport First Selectwoman Diane Farrell, who simply wants out of Iraq, placing her among those who refuse to confront the deadly nature of what would likely happen the day after American forces retreated over the horizon.
"Shays has visited Iraq more than any lawmaker. He is aware of how egregiously Bush prosecuted the conflict while recognizing that disaster would flow from a pullout. He's hanging tough in hope of pushing the Iraqis toward national consensus. The goal is a phased withdrawal without an unrealistic timetable. He's right on the war, as he has been right on many issues. Reelect Chris Shays."

Jerry Blevins talks about the game-ending double play he got to earn the save in Anaheim.
Machine Generated Transcript
Jerry Blevins Jerry. Congratulations what do we say. Our hearts pounded out here I'm sure yours was down there but luckily you -- your composure so that was the most important thing but let's get right to let's start with Kendry Morales. How important was it. Getting ahead of him and then being able to drop it looked like a changeup to get the strikeout. Doubt with a changeup. I knew right away I came in and face in my home and that got me on a cutter in. I knew he'd be looking for for what it -- what I want to do is get ahead and then we -- that changeup that really be aggressive. So Jerry you grant comes into the ball game and it didn't look like he was wild it looked like he was just missing a few pitches and even. Even you look like you had a couple close pitches that I thought might have been on the plate were those pitches close. There are definitely close I'm not sure they're -- strike obviously the umpires got a better view of it. My job is not not to pay attention to those close calls just to -- the situation when it comes -- a good attitude so you get the double play and the game tell us about the pitch tell us what's going through your mind. If you see the ball hit to Donaldson. Elation pure elation I.

Jarrod Parker pitched seven strong innings, but Grant Balfour allowed a pinch-hit three-run home run to Kendrys Morales in the tenth.
Franklin Morales left Saturday's game with a sore left shoulder, which seemingly meant a roster move would come Sunday. It didn't, but Morales will be examined Monday.
Franklin Morales left the Red Sox 10-3 loss to Detroit with a shoulder injury and is likely headed for the disabled list.
The Red Sox made a comeback in the 9th, but a rough 7th inning from Franklin Morales was enough to give the Angels a 9-5 victory at Fenway Park.
First half goals from Real Salt Lake's Javier Morales , Ned Grabavoy, and Robbie Findley put the 'Quakes in a hole they weren't able to overcome.
Franklin Morales will get a few days off after making his first appearance of the season.
Sidelined by back woes since spring training, Morales gave the Red Sox five innings and allowed just two runs in a 9-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Franklin Morales , making his first appearance of the season, scattered four hits and allowed two runs over five innings as the Red Sox beat up the Phillies.
The Red Sox on Wednesday announced Franklin Morales , not originally scheduled starter Jon Lester, will pitch in Thursday's series finale against the Phillies.
As expected, the Red Sox activated lefty Franklin Morales from the disabled list today and optioned Alfredo Aceves back to Triple-A Pawtucket.
Red Sox manager John Farrell said that Franklin Morales could be activated Tuesday.
David Ross will catch Franklin Morales in a rehab assignment with Portland Thursday night.

Modifying a Dynamic Library Without Changing the Source Code
Sometimes, you might want to determine what is happening in a shared library without modifying the library (have you tried to build glibc lately?). Other times, you might want to override only a few functions within a library and get them to do something else--force a process to a specific CPU, prevent a specific USB message from being sent and so on. All of these tasks are possible if you use the LD_PRELOAD environment variable and a small shim program placed between the application and the library.
As an example, say you create a shared library object called shim.so and want it to be loaded before any other shared library. Say you also want to run the program "test". These things can be done on the command line with LD_PRELOAD:
LD_PRELOAD=/home/greg/test/shim.so ./test
This command tells glibc to load the library shim.so from the directory /home/greg/test first, before it loads any other shared libraries the test program might need.
It is quite easy to create a shim library, thanks to some help from an old e-mail sent by the kernel developer Anton Blanchard. His e-mail provides an example of how to do exactly this.
As an example, let us log some information about how the libusb library is being called by another program. libusb is a library used by programs to access USB devices from userspace, eliminating the need to create a kernel driver for all USB devices.
Starting with the usb_open() function provided by libusb, the following small bit of code is used to log all accesses to this function:usb_dev_handle *usb_open(struct usb_device *dev) { static usb_dev_handle *(*libusb_open) (struct usb_device *dev) = NULL; void *handle; usb_dev_handle *usb_handle; char *error; if (!libusb_open) { handle = dlopen("/usr/lib/libusb.so", RTLD_LAZY); if (!handle) { fputs(dlerror(), stderr); exit(1); } libusb_open = dlsym(handle, "usb_open"); if ((error = dlerror()) != NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", error); exit(1); } } printf("calling usb_open(%s)\n", dev->filename); usb_handle = libusb_open(dev); printf("usb_open() returned %p\n", usb_handle); return usb_handle; }
To compile this code, run GCC with the following options:
gcc -Wall -O2 -fpic -shared -ldl -o shim.so shim.c
This command creates a shared library called shim.so from the shim.c source code file. Then, if the test program was run with the previous LD_PRELOAD line, any calls to the function usb_open() in the test function call our library function instead. The code within our function tries to load the real libusb library with a call to the function dlopen:
handle = dlopen("/usr/lib/libusb.so", RTLD_LAZY);
The option RTLD_LAZY is passed here, because I do not want the loader to resolve all symbols at this point in time. I want them resolved only when the shim code asks for them to be resolved.
If that function succeeds, the code then asks for a pointer to the real usb_open function with a call to dlsym:
libusb_open = dlsym(handle, "usb_open");
If that function succeeds, the shim now has a pointer to the real libusb function. It can call the real function whenever it wants to, after logging some information to the screen:
printf("calling usb_open(%p)\n", dev); usb_handle = libusb_open(dev);
This also allows the code to do something after the library function has been called and before control is returned to the original program.
An example of running a program with this shim in place might produce the following output:
calling usb_open(002) usb_open() returned 0x8061100 calling usb_open(002) usb_open() returned 0x8061100 calling usb_open(002) usb_open() returned 0x8061100 calling usb_open(002) usb_open() returned 0x8061100 calling usb_open(002) usb_open() returned 0x8061120 calling usb_open(002) usb_open() returned 0x8061120
To log a more complex function, such as usb_control_message, the same thing needs to be done as was done for usb_open:
int usb_control_msg(usb_dev_handle *dev, int requesttype, int request, int value, int index, char *bytes, int size, int timeout) { static int(*libusb_control_msg) (usb_dev_handle *dev, int requesttype, int request, int value, int index, char *bytes, int size, int timeout) = NULL; void *handle; int ret, i; char *error; if (!libusb_control_msg) { handle = dlopen("/usr/lib/libusb.so", RTLD_LAZY); if (!handle) { fputs(dlerror(), stderr); exit(1); } libusb_control_msg = dlsym(handle, "usb_control_msg"); if ((error = dlerror()) != NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", error); exit(1); } } printf("calling usb_control_msg(%p, %04x, " "%04x, %04x, %04x, %p, %d, %d)\n" "\tbytes = ", dev, requesttype, request, value, index, bytes, size, timeout); for (i = 0; i < size; ++i) printf ("%02x ", (unsigned char)bytes[i]); printf("\n"); ret = libusb_control_msg(dev, requesttype, request, value, index, bytes, size, timeout); printf("usb_control_msg(%p) returned %d\n" "\tbytes = ", dev, ret); for (i = 0; i < size; ++i) printf ("%02x ", (unsigned char)bytes[i]); printf("\n"); return ret; }
Running the test program again with the shim library loaded produces the following output:
usb_open() returned 0x8061100 calling usb_control_msg(0x8061100, 00c0, 0013, 6c7e, c41b, 0x80610a8, 8, 1000) bytes = c9 ea e7 73 2a 36 a6 7b usb_control_msg(0x8061100) returned 8 bytes = 81 93 1a c4 85 27 a0 73 calling usb_open(002) usb_open() returned 0x8061120 calling usb_control_msg(0x8061120, 00c0, 0017, 9381, c413, 0x8061100, 8, 1000) bytes = 39 83 1d cc 85 27 a0 73 usb_control_msg(0x8061120) returned 8 bytes = 35 15 51 2e 26 52 93 43 calling usb_open(002) usb_open() returned 0x8061120 calling usb_control_msg(0x8061120, 00c0, 0017, 9389, c413, 0x8061108, 8, 1000) bytes = 80 92 1b c6 e3 a3 fa 9d usb_control_msg(0x8061120) returned 8 bytes = 80 92 1b c6 e3 a3 fa 9d
Using the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, it is easy to place your own code between a program and the libraries it is linked against.

A little thing you forgot
You wrote:
This command tells glibc...
Hmm, lets see:
$ man ld.so
ld.so/ld-linux.so - dynamic linker/loader
A whitespace-separated list of additional, user-specified, ELF
shared libraries to be loaded before all others. This can be
used to selectively override functions in other shared
libraries. For setuid/setgid ELF binaries, only libraries in
the standard search directories that are also setgid will be
So, LD_PRELOAD affects the dynamic linker rather than glibc.
It's possible to override
It's possible to override dlopen and dlsym?
Yes, it is, but you need to do extra work if you want to call the real ones yourself (there are special linking options which can ahcieve this).
poor man's AOP ?
This strikes me as describing a fundamental way to implement AOP on theop of the Linux Kernel.
Anyone heaerd of people taking this idea further and actually trying to build an AOP implementation?
re: force a process to a specific CPU
Ahh, the teaser promises binding to a single CPU -- can you post that code perchance?
Nice example. A trick that be
Nice example. A trick that be usefull for many things. But this particular example could just as easily have been achived by running the ltrace command.
Re: Nice example. A trick that be
Ltrace is nice, but the LD_PRELOAD shim can do more things with the shimmed function(s). For example, it might only print out the trace message when certain conditions are met in the parameters. Or, every call to the shimmed function could scan target library internal data structures for corruption. Etc.
thats one of the problems wit
thats one of the problems with open source today, it became "too much", for every thing you want to do, there are a few ways
no problem :)
It's not a problem, to have a lot of options, it's flexibility and last not least, it's freedom.
It's an illusion of freedom

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

fool this printer into taking your old toner 05/06/2013
This review is from: Brother TN-450 Toner cartridge 2,600 pages yield; Black
This toner is the original but you still can fool the printer into taking a toner that is not original or a toner that is not actually empty but still has several hundred more pages of toner in it.
The printer likes to call for toner too early before it is actually empty
Other Thoughts:
As some of the previous reviews have already talked about, the printer has a built in toner change meter. In order to fool the printer into taking an old toner cartridge before it is actually empty and needs to be changed, you must first select the Menu button of the printer. Then select General. Then select Replace Toner. Then choose the down arrow and change the selection from "Stop" to "Continue". Then press the OK button. Then change the toner or actually just pull the toner out, shake it and put it back in again. Then press the OK button to continue. Your printer should accept the "old" toner as new and allow you to continue to use it. You may also have to press the green "Start" button on the printer 7 times to get around the message to replace the toner as stated by a previous reviewer.

|11A13 Amended
|Adopted as amended
|County Attorney Robert Cuevas read the foregoing proposed resolution into the record. Commissioner Heyman noted although she supported the idea, she was concerned with not knowing how much it would cost to develop this program. Deputy Mayor Lisa Martinez stated that a variety of strategies from different departments currently addressed this need and staff should be able to develop a plan detailing how this could be done effectively and cohesively. With respect to Commissioner Heyman's question as to whether existing in-house staff could accomplish the program's administration, Ms. Martinez stated she felt it would be most prudent to take that approach. Additionally, she noted additional resources would be sought through grants, as had been done with similar programs in the past. Commissioner Heyman expressed her support for the foregoing resolution. Commissioner Bell concurred with Commissioner Heyman's concern with cost and noted she preferred the Mayor be directed to bring back a report on the financial implications before the Board voted on the item. She referred to language in Section 3 that read "…the Mayor or Mayor's designee is directed to develop the program, including qualifying criteria and processes, as well as a program budget and action plan…" Commissioner Bell reiterated the importance of obtaining a report that reflected the financial implications for the County prior to voting on this matter. Ms. Martinez noted staff would be comfortable with presenting a report, in the short-term, an approach for connecting those dots previously referenced, and demonstrating the process without additional budget resources. In response to Commissioner Bell's inquiry as to whether he would accept an amendment to request that a report be presented before moving forward on developing the program, Commissioner Monestime stated he was amenable to that amendment. Chairwoman Sosa noted she believed Community-Based Organizations, that request government funding, should take the initiative to correctly manage and operate the organizations. Responding to Commissioner Jordan's question whether this process was currently in effect through the Office of Grant Coordination, Ms. Martinez advised that this program was in place in the Office of Management and Budget, and was administered through Cultural Affairs and Public Housing and Community Development. She stated staff was proposing to coordinate all those elements into one cohesive program. Ms. Jennifer Glazer-Moon, Director, Office of Management and Budget, explained the process for providing support to non-profit organizations in applying for grants to help them leverage other dollars outside of County funds. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board adopted the foregoing proposed resolution as amended to delete language directing the Mayor or Mayor's designee to develop a capacity-building program; only leaving language directing the Mayor or Mayor's designee to develop a program budget; and to bring a report to the Board describing how the program will be designed and funded.
|Legislative Text
WHEREAS, many local small, non-profit faith-based and community organizations in Miami-Dade County (the "County") need help maximizing their social impact as they provide services to those in most need in the County; and
WHEREAS, many of the local small, non-profit faith-based and community organizations need assistance identifying their own capacity-building needs as well as addressing them; and
WHEREAS, the County currently funds local small, non-profit faith-based and community organizations whose operations could be improved to serve more of the County's neediest residents and in a more efficient and effective manner thus maximizing the County's funds; and
WHEREAS, the Board desires to assist local small, non-profit faith-based and community organizations in the County in an effort to increase County support for residents,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that:
Section 1. The Board ratifies and adopts the matters set forth in the foregoing recitals and in the accompanying justification memorandum.
Section 2. The Board hereby directs the Mayor or Mayor's designee to develop a capacity-building program for local small, non-profit faith-based and community organizations to improve their ability to qualify for grants (local, state, federal), run more efficient programs, and expand their ability to effectively serve the community. The program should be modeled, at least in part, after the Miami NICE program, which was primarily led by the City of Miami, Office of Faith-based Initiatives and Community Outreach, with participation by the Miami-Dade County Office of Strategic Business Management. The goal of the program shall be to improve local small, non-profit faith-based and community organizations' effectiveness by assisting them with organizational and financial stability and sustainability, program quality, growth, and capacity-improvement. Components of the program shall include, but not be limited to, training, organizational assessment, one-on-one technical assistance from capacity-building experts, and mini-grants to select local small, non-profit faith-based and community organizations to implement the changes and improvements identified through the program. The participating local small, non-profit faith-based and community organizations shall be agencies which currently engage in the work of improving the community health and welfare of residents in Miami-Dade County.
Section 3. The Mayor or Mayor's designee is directed to develop the program, including qualifying criteria and processes, as well as a program budget and action plan for implementing the program which shall address program staffing. Priority shall be given to local small, non-profit faith-based and community organizations providing services in the County's most distressed neighborhoods, as determined by recent data showing poverty, crime, and illness and using geographic information system ("GIS") mapping. The Mayor or Mayor's designee is directed to identify funding which is available or could be made available to fund the capacity-building program and to bring a report to the Board within ninety (90) days describing how the program will be designed and funded. The Mayor or Mayor's designee is further directed to seek grants and other outside funding sources to help fund the program developed pursuant to this resolution and to bring such applications for funding to the Board for approval or, in the event that there is insufficient time to bring the grant application to the Board for approval prior to applying and no permanent financial commitment is required from the County, for ratification.

Sanctuary Real Estate, Inc.
300 North Highland Avenue Suite B | Atlanta, GA 30307
I have a property that is in Kirkwood (next to Edgewood) that the owner would consider owner finincing on, or a lease-purchase. The address is 2165 Hosea L. Williams Drive and would have a sale price of around $265K for a renovated 5BR/3BA home. I live immediately acrosss the street with my two sons (5 & 8) and the area is definitely familiy freindly.
Click the link below to view the rental listing for the property and of course, feel free to give me a call to arrange a showing or if you have additional questions:
Owner Financing is more frequent nowadays. How do we specifically find those kind of properties quickly?
I do not know of a better place to identify the right property for my clients than in FMLS. FMLS does not enable a search field for "owner financing" so without that button, a non-techie like me will not go much further.
I will ask my business partner, Greg Ruis if he knows how.
Hey - Carl Martens - you readin' this? You know how to exclusively identify "owner-financing" offerings on property listings in FMLS or GAMLS? Carl is a guru.
Sean Casey, Joan Macaluso - both of you probably have listings that might meet Nancy's criteria.
Nancy - we'll check around.
In the meantime, call me if I can answer any other questions about the area - I moved to Inman Park from Duluth in 1998, and never looked back. I live in Kirkwood now. You guys will love living Intown.
What else is important to you other than help with some of the financing?

WebstaurantStore / Food Service Resources / Blog
By Ryan Loose
Creating new business is one of the most important things a restaurant or bar owner has to do. New business means more repeat customers which means more money. However, after you've been open for awhile and the charm of "that new place down the road" wears off, you're going to need to think of new ways to make customers walk through your door. The secret? It's all about being innovative and interesting. Here are a few ways to be creative with your menu and generate new business for your business.
I took my friends out to a local brew pub for dinner the other night. My buddy and I are self proclaimed beer snobs, and enjoy brew pubs because we get to sample a lot of different types of beer. This particular brew pub always has new and exciting seasonal selections, and often times they'll try a new take on a classic taste. I scanned the list, and my "beer senses" (like Spidey-senses, but better) zeroed in on a nice Belgian ale. But this was no ordinary Belgian ale. Apparently they were adding your choice of two syrups to the beer when ordered. Woodruff or blackberry. This was new to me. I've heard of adding a squeeze of orange or lemon, but not syrup. So, of course I had to try it. The thought of blackberry made me gag, physically. At the table. So I went with the woodruff. Wow. The combination was shocking and refreshing, alarming and pleasant all at the same time. The slight hint of sweetness made it a perfect summer beer, one I would definitely go back to order again. This type of innovation, putting a spin on an existing product, is one of the best ways to intrigue would be customers and create new business.
Did you know that there's only one bar that sells Flaming Dr. Peppers where I live? I'm serious here people! Another way to be innovative and draw in new customers is to introduce something brand spanking new to your area. Either an existing product, like a Flaming Dr. Pepper, that no one else serves, or something that you or your staff created on your own. Something that makes your restaurant or bar stand out amongst the throngs of other eateries, or 'drinkeries'. Be sure to make a big deal out of it too. If I owned the only bar in the area that sold Flaming Dr. Peppers, I would hang a big sign off the deck - "Home of the Flaming Dr. Pepper!" with a colorful design. Something like a person taking a drink from a pint glass with their hair on fire, I don't know. Just brainstorming here. Whether you've invented something the world has never seen, or are just introducing an existing dish or drink that isn't common in your area, curiosity is one of the most powerful tools that a restaurant or bar owner can use to attract new customers, and boost your profits. Be creative. Be crazy. Be innovative. Be daring. And be profitable my friends.

We all have time to seek out the new to enhance our lives. If you are a licensee then you might be looking to improve your product range or the profitability of your products.
Maybe you are the most important person of all...one of our mutual customers: Licensees rely on you and we need you! Hopefully Pilgrim, now brewing in its 35th year can satisfy both needs.
As an ex- licensee myself I well know the need to have beers which are consistent, reliable, profitable and most important of all attractive to customers. As a pub and beer lover I brew to satisfy those needs.
With that in mind you can trust a Pilgrim, always!
Thanks very much from dropping in on the Pilgrim website
Brewing since 1982, we at Pilgrim aim not only to brew beer and give good service, but to brew great beer that customers will really enjoy: delicious beer in fact! We believe that by constantly striving to improve our beers both customers and licensees will benefit. We run the brewery with the Japanese "Kaizan" concept very much in mind: incremental imrovements. We have over the years improved our methods little by little so that our brewing system can be called the:
The application of the knowledge and experience we have gained in over
3 decades of brewing has allowed us to develop the Pilgrim Process which is why our beer is always and will always be just that little better. We are decades ahead of our competitors!
As always our driving philosophy, which remains at the forefront of our thinking, is to never compromise quality whilst actively taking on board ideas which will improve our beers. The varying nature of the materials used in production lead us to remain "semper vigila" but we take advantage of these changes to improve each beer. Unlike big breweries which try to keep their beer the same we embrace change to create improvement.
Please check out our "Noticeboard" for our latest news.
If you find a pub with our beer you can be sure that the licensee really cares for his customers and is not just buying the cheapest off his beer list. We'll drink to that!
So in these difficult economic times let's support those who support us...especially hard pressed local pubs....visit them and raise a glass of Pilgrim to the hard working licensees and their staff. Cheers!

Hi there,
Hi there,
I ordered some take away beers a couple of weekends ago for a BBQ (Surrey Bitter, Quest and Quench).
Each of the beers was excellent (Surrey Bitter actually my favourite) and went down a treat with my mates.

From December 2014, under new EU rules, restaurants and pubs will have to ensure that customers are warned about any allergens in their food.
The 14 allergens are as follows:
We have to admit to using cereals in our beer, barley, wheat, rye......because ummm...that's what beer is made from! However we can guarantee we do not use molluscs,crustaceans or any other stuff other than natural finings to clear the beer from which there is a tiny amout of preservative in the form of SO2. You have been warned..Pilgrim beer ioho is extremely good for you!
Surely he meant brewers?
A couple of pints of Weald...makes ya thirsty!
You are welcomed to the new brewery collection counter. Handmade, naturally, from local oak by our marvellous carpenter, Colin who can make just about anything out of wood.
We are also really pleased to have had local artist Simon Canacott "paint" some of our beers. You can check out the original oils in our collection area and choose, if you wish, a unique garment to have one of these printed on.
Check out Simon's remarkable work at www.simoncanacott.com
Thought of the moment
"The superior excellence of malt-liquor above wine, in point of wholesomeness, and the consideration of its being a product of our own kingdom are reasons why everyman who wishes well to his fellow creatures and country should promote to the best of his power the estimation and consumption of it."

Well, first make sure you have expert help in properly installing the firewall and configuring it. Make sure no user can bypass the firewall to get to the Internet. The firewall cannot protect connections made outside of it (i.e. modems, direct connections to your ISP ). Make sure all connections incoming and outgoing are blocked unless a specific firewall rule allows them. Such configuration requires a little knowledge about your network, so be sure to work with the expert if you hire that help.
You also need to examine your entire risk picture and your security policy. This means that perimeter protection is not enough, and controls on all hosts on your network are necessary. Things like the antivirus you are using, personal firewalls, patch updates, control over computer configuration and much more.
Also, you wrote that you have a small wireless network that you use for accounting/data collection and that your current wireless signal is just string enough to connect workstations within the building. Don't assume that this is true. Companies are often surprised at how far that signal can reach when a determined individual mounts an attack or when someone just gets lucky. Also, when contractors, salespeople and visitors come into your building, they now have access to that network -- which seems like it has some very sensitive data on it. Please be sure to implement encryption and look at WPA and PEAP and other security measures for wireless networks.
