Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 213563
xend takes 1.5 minutes to start up during boottime
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:47 EST
Description of problem:
When I boot my machine with Xen it takes xend about roughly 95 seconds to start.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install all xen stuff in fc6
2. boot
Actual results:
xend takes 1.5 minutes to start.
Expected results:
Faster boot time, and/or better progress information
Additional info:
So, I don't know if this is actually a bug, or expected behaviour. All I can say
is that it takes a looong time to load.
xend starts in a few seconds for me.
What's your networking configuration? I suspect it's getting stuck somewhere in
setting up the network; does xen networking look OK after it does finally start?
There is one DHCP server (FreeBSD with ISC dhcpd), devices get DHCP leases from
that. Sometimes I use wireless, sometimes I use wired networking. Networking
seems to be just fine afterwards. Could it be the network devices that timeout?
Yes, could be; alt-sysrq-t ought to be able to show if it's hanging in dhcpcd or
somewhere similar.
When I connect the network cable and everything all works fine. Only when I have
it disconnected it takes that long. So, it is not an error and therefore this
bug can be closed. I'm wondering if the start scripts for xend could benefit
from the fact that the networking script has already determined a few seconds
earlier that there is nothing on my wired interface. Or is that impossible to do?
Not impossible; but _lots_ of networking bits and pieces are likely to function
badly without any networking enabled. Handling it more gracefully is probably
not actually a Xen problem, more that ifup itself might handle it more rapidly.

Do you like shooting video? If so, you probably have a camcorder. It's a must-have to record video. As you know that camcorder supports limited video formats, such as DV, MPEG-2, AVCHD, etc. Want to play or edit your camcorder videos on Mac? Well, I'm afraid you need to convert your camcorder videos to Mac compatible formats like M4V or MOV first. Then you will be able to play camcorder videos with QuickTime or edit them in iMovie without any restriction.
Convert Camcorder Videos to Mac Supported Format for Playback
If you're failed to import your camcorder video for playing or editing on Mac, ensure it's supported by your video player or editor software. If not, convert camcorder video to the supported format with a camcorder video converter.

More Useful Tips:
Tip 1. How to Import Camcorder Videos for Editing in iMovie
Step 1: Connect your camcorder to Mac machine with cable (1394/FireWire/USB/Wifi).
Step 2: Switch to PC/Computer mode depending on your Camcorder model.
Step 3: iMovie will automatically open the Import window. Or you can open it by File > Import. If DVD Player opens, quit it.
Step 4: Choose the video or select "Import All"(make sure your camcorder's switch is set to "Automatic").
Step 5: If "Manual" is set, you can import some clip to iMovie.
Step 6: If you import from video from tape camcorder (DV/HDV), iMovie will automatically revise tape and import all videos.
Step 7: iMovie will automatically create video thumbnails after imported.
Tip 2. iMovie automatically detects your camcorder
iMovie will detect whether a camcorder is connected. When you have your camcorder connected with a cable, but is prompted "No Camera Attached", ensure your camera is powered on and re-connect your camcorder to your computer properly via a FireWire or USB cable. Also make sure your camcorder is set to VCR, VTR, or Play mode. Also click the Connection Help button for more suggestions.
Tip 3. iMovie supports different video formats
iMovie only compatible with limited video formats. For importing video from your camcorder, choose between DV, DV Widescreen, HDV 1080i, and HDV 720i. If you will add MPEG-4 files from your PDA or phone, select MPEG-4.
Tip 4. Import video as one clip (iMovie HD, iMovie '09)
Rather than importing your video as separate clips, you can set iMovie to import your MTS video as a single clip. This may be very useful if you're importing a movie that you've already edited and you just want to make a minor change. Do this: from the iMovie menu, choose Preferences, click Import, and then deselect the "Start a new clip at each scene break" option.
Tip 5. Make an HD video with iMovie
HD camcorders store more pixels than a standard camcorder, letting you record high quality video footage. iMovie supports importing and editing video from HD camcorders (HDV 1080i or 720p). But you decide whether to import HD camcorder video, or just large video. To make this settings, go to iMovie > Preferences > Video.
Tip 6. Import video to Mac before importing to iMovie
Many digital still cameras, PDAs, and mobile phones let you record videos in the MPEG-4 format, a standard compression that is used to significantly reduce the file size of video. While iMovie doesn't know how to import video from these devices directly. Therefore, you can copy them to your Mac first and then drag them into the iMovie Clips pane from Finder or import them using Import from the "File" menu.
Tip 7. Using video from your connected or built-in iSight camera
It's a good idea to use your iSight camera to record video directly into your iMovie project. To doso, connect your iSight camera to the FireWire port of your Mac and click the Record button to start recording. If you have more than one camcorder connected, such as an iSight and a camcorder, or an built-in iSight with iMac, you need choose iSight from the pop-up menu that appears when you switch to camera mode.
Tip 8. Monitor free disk space remaining on your Mac (iMovie HD, iMovie '09)
Digital video clips may consume a large amount of hard disk space. Generally, 5 minutes of DV footage uses approximately 1GB of space. The same amount of HD video can occupy between 2GB to 4GB, depending on codec and resolution. To save hard disk space, import and edit your video in segments instead of editing all at one go. Through the monitor located in the lower-right corner of the iMovie window, you're able to see how much space remaining on your Mac's hard drive.

text: I have been coming to Barbados since 1982. Although I have heard of the odd crime against a tourist over the years I've felt it was mainly under control by the Police Force and always felt reasonably safe. However, in the past five years, crime has escalated and this year, in particular, it has become unsafe to walk out even in daylight. This week alone, in just two days in the Dover area, a friend of mine was mugged in front of Love & Care, another friend was robbed in her own apartment on Headley Road, and another lady was robbed of her bag in the area. On the third day, I was walking on 1st Avenue Dover Gardens to go to the beach when two young men stopped walking on the road ahead and came part-way down the road I was on and just stood there, one on each side of the road. This struck me as unusual behaviour and made me notice them. They also fit the description of the men who had robbed my friend on Headley Road. I immediately turned around and went home. If you expect tourists to continue to visit, desperate measures must be taken immediately. The police must interact more with tourists, drive more slowly and be visible in all areas, not just The Gap. The armed forces should also be used, if necessary. Will I and many others return next year? That will depend on the measures taken to resolve this issue.

I was reading about the recent bench clearing brawl between the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays. I had missed the fight and went to youtube to watch it.
It was a rather average brawl, but it got me in the mood to watch other sports brawls.
After about the fifth video I started to form definite opinions about which sports have the best brawls, and which sports are the most conducive to fighting.
Here is my list. I have left out sports where the intent is to fight, such as MMA, Wrestling, Boxing, etc. I am concerned with sports where a fight is an added bonus to the game.
Hope you enjoy!

Who do you think is the Super Villainess of this season of AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL?
Cassandra, because all robots want to destroy humans
Lisa, because all alcoholics are abusive to the ones they love
Jayla, because all homeschoolers are maladjusted, and all Jehovah's Witnesses are annoying
Who do you think is the Super Villainess of this season of AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL?
Sending good vibes and warm fuzzies your way..., SnowflakeGirl
All New AMERICA'S TOP MODEL Recaps! Premiere Pt. 1 & Pt. 2, Ep. 3, Ep. 4, Dinah's Dynamite Ep. 5, Ep. 6, Ep. 7, Ep. 8, Ep. 9, Ep. 10, Ep. 11, Finale
Relive every beautiful moment of America's Next Top Model...Click here for links to prior season recaps & interviews.
I voted Jayla, but Cassandra was a close second. Good poll SFG!
And tonight she's going to scream your name from the highest rooftop
Because for the first time in her life, she's not afraid to fall in love
Had to be that Jayla with her controversial background.
You've gotta hustle if you want to earn a dollar. - Boston Rob
Kinda pathetic to be a villain, but Jayla. Lord she's unpleasant.
As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. - H.L. Mencken .
I voted for Jayla too, I figure at least Lisa has "cousin It" - how harmful can she be.
"We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are." ~Anais Nin
"Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye." ~H. Jackson Brown Jr
I voted for Jayla too. Mostly because she's just a liar.
I voted for Jayla, at the beginning of the season I probably would have said Lisa but now I think it's more Jayla.
I dont think Lisa is a bitch. She is absolutely insane, but not bitchy.
Jayla is uber bitchy.
I voted for Cassandra because she had a bad attitude.
We definitely need to include Bre in this poll now...

Geek creates rude place names world map
- From: news.com.au
- February 18, 2013
SELF professed geek creates a map showing all the places in the world with vaguely rude names. Put together your own tour.
Londoner Gary Gale – a "geo-technologist and self professed geek with a life" says in his biography that he has had a lifelong affair with maps since discovering the Harry Beck map of the London underground on the back of the London A-Z Atlas at an early age.
He now works as the director of Web and Community for Nokia. But we like this side project much more. It's called the Vaguely Rude Place Names Of The World map.
Think he left one off? Tell us about the towns you know with rude names below.
Bumbang in Victoria – stand proud. You made the map. As did West Mid Intercourse Island in WA, Tittybong and Spanker Knob.
There's quite a few towns called Semen, there's a Climax and and Arsoli. There's a Bum, Poo and a town called Wankie. There's a Wet Beaver Creek, a Bottom and an Anus. There's Shag Point, Condom, Brown Willy and Slut. But best of all we like the town in Iran called Shit.
Take a look at Gary Gale's naughty map. We promise it will make your Monday much better.
Have your say

Blackbutt in Queensland is one that comes to mind.The town was named Blackbutt by the early settlers after the native Blackbutt Eucalyptus trees there.
Simon of Brisbane Posted at 1:36 PM February 18, 2013
sorry for the double dip - but a list of rude place names in Australia beginning with Mount (excluding peoples names and animals) includes - Mount Dyke, Mount Dick, Mount Abbs, Mount Allport, Mount Tritoppen, Mount Twintop, Mount Stradler, Mount Small, Mount Treat, Mount Quackenbush, Mount Wood, Mount Dixon, Mount Carne (meat in Italian), Mount Baldy, Mount Hartwood, Mount Horne, Mount Lickhole. This is just from the first 10% of the list at the Geoscience Australia website.

So tired. oh my word... so tired. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I just can't keep my eyes open. I've napped on my desk, napped on the couch, and almost fallen asleep standing up in the last two days. I'm sleeping fine, but it's like my body can't keep up.
I got my positive opk on the weekend, CD 13 to be exact. Love seeing that smiley face. But, I've been testing with cheapies to, and have yet to see a positive test. I don't know if the brand is bad, but I don't like not having them as a back up to confirm. I don't even feel like it's O time. I've had some twinges down there, had a bit of a sore cervix for a day or two.. but that's it.
I do my progesterone test Monday (cd 21). I need to pick up medical gloves tomorrow since I can't apply the progesterone cream with my bare hands after Friday (and have to skip Sunday's evening dose). I'm nervous about this test. It won't be back in time for a possible bfp... but it could give some insight if this isn't our cycle, or if we have another chemical. If we do, I'll redo the test once DH goes to work so my OB will have something go off later.
I am trying to remain positive... too many people around me are getting pregnant and it's making it super hard. I know it will happen eventually... I'd just like it to happen naturally, or as naturally as possible. I know if we have to start spending money on getting pregnant, my DH is going to be upset. Money is a big deal to him... and I'm still not sure he's ok with spending anything, even if he says he is. *sigh*

- For the dumplings:
- Place the flours into a large bowl and stir in the baking powder and a pinch of salt.
- Dice the butter into cubes and rub it into the flours with your finger tips until the mix resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the herbs.
- Gradually add approximately 2 or 3 dessertspoons of cold water. With a spoon bring the mix together to form a soft dough. Do not knead.
- The goulash should have boiled by now, lower the heat.
- Take pieces of the dough and roll into balls and place into the simmering goulash. Cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes.
- The dumplings will triple in size. After 10 minutes cooking gently turn the dumplings over. Check the seasoning.

[Intro: Jada Pinkett Smith]
(Ooh, Ohh)
Here I stand before you - brown
Color of the mountains
Colossal as the earth
Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery
Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind
Here I stand before you, the color of the night
Frozen by the potential of me: an Afro Angel
(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh!)
[Verse 1]
Afro Angel off your pedestal from perchin above
You on the prowl now, downtown, searchin' for love
In all the wrong places, outside your radio stations
Hopin' he with new hit single, is tryin' to mingle
Today, he is me in your town, puttin' it down
You in the car with your friends, followin' my limo around
Puttin' a bug in my boy's ear, your "S" is for free
You'll do anything for Omar or Phil, bring you to me
And then me, hypnotized by the devil as well
Hold out my hand as an invitation into my hotel
No need to RSVP, place your hand in my palm
As all your girlfriends getting jealous
"Damn, she landed the bomb!"
Willing to trade your spirit for some crass, whack wage
Something small, something simple as a pass back stage
But now I lay me, down to creep
And I... pray the Lord my soul to keep

Waukesha man charged with allegedly pointing gun at family, causing an hour-long standoff with police
A 30-year-old Waukesha man has been charged with recklessly endangering safety after allegedly pointing a gun at his wife and four children during an argument on Sunday, March 10 and causing a one-hour standoff with police.
The man, who will not be identified to protect the alleged victims, was charged on March 12 in Waukesha County Circuit Court with felony second-degree recklessly endangering safety, misdemeanor disorderly conduct and four counts of misdemeanor pointing a firearm at another. If convicted of all charges, he could face more than 13 years in prison, $65,000 in fines, or both.
According to the criminal complaint:
City of Waukesha police were dispatched to the family's residence, located near the intersection of Madison Street and North Grandview Boulevard, a little after 1 p.m. on March 10 after receiving reports of a domestic abuse incident.
The man's father-in-law called police after his daughter called him asking for help, saying that her husband had a handgun and was walking around with it. The father-in-law told police that he could hear a lot of shouting in the background before the phone went dead.
Two officers approached the residence and rang the doorbell several times, but there was no response. They then saw a small boy, later identified as the man's 7-year-old son, enter the entrance hall of the home. The boy was hesitant to open the door, but did so after talking to police.
The two officers found the man's wife on the phone crying in the living room with her three other children. She said that the defendant was in the basement. The children, who police said were "terrified," said he had a gun.
Police evacuated them from the residence and asked the man's wife what happened. She said that he was "whipping" the gun around and a child said, "He pointed it at mommy."
She later told police that she and her husband had been fighting over family issues, and the previous night she took her children to a hotel to spend the night. She returned to the house earlier that morning and tried to stay away from her husband, but he instigated an argument with her. She said he seemed intoxicated and he told her that he wanted her and the children out of the house.
The man's 9-year-old daughter said that her father had allegedly pointed a handgun at her mother, and the gun made a, "clicking sound." She said he allegedly did same thing to each of the children, and each time the gun made a clicking noise.
According to a police department news release, all available officers, deputies from the Sheriff's Department and the Regional Bearcat Armored Vehicle were called to the scene.
Officers approached the residence in a tactical mode and ordered the defendant to exit. He did exit, approximately one hour after the initial incident, and told officers he left the handgun in the master bedroom. Police recovered the weapon, a .45 caliber Springfield semiautomatic handgun.
The man blew a .01 on a breath test administered by police. He allegedly told police that he had drank approximately three cans of beer earlier that morning. He said that his wife had crushed one of the beer cans while they were arguing, spilling beer onto a dresser. He allegedly said he then retrieved his gun and put it in a holster on his right hip, fearing that his wife would try to take it away.
He claimed that the gun was unloaded and initially said that he did not point the gun at his wife and children. When police told him that his wife and kids said that he did, he allegedly said there was no magazine in the gun at the time.
He later allegedly changed his story, saying that he removed the gun from his holster while his children were behind him and, pointing the gun at the floor, locked and unlocked the slide release. While he was doing so, he allegedly said: "I can't [expletive] take this anymore."
At an initial court appearance on March 12, Judge Patrick Haughney ordered that the man was not to consume alcohol or possess any knives, weapons or firearms. He was also ordered to not have any contact with his wife, children, or any witnesses listed in the complaint.
His next expected court date is April 12.

Similarities exist between Daytona, Oscars
They are called the "Super Bowls" of their respective industries: the Daytona 500 and the Academy Awards.
For the second straight year, the two events happened to fall on the same day, leaving race-and-movie fans once again reeling with the kind of sensory overload that on any other day can only be achieved with a marathon triple-feature of "Talladega Nights," "Cannonball Run" and "Days of Thunder."
Just as the post-race interviews were wrapping up in Florida, Hollywood royalty began making its way down the red carpet. And while the two premier events may seem to be as different as they could be, upon closer look, there are many correlations between the high-speed showdown in Daytona and the lavish celebration of the silver screen.
From the shiny new paint schemes of NASCAR's top teams to the sequined-studded designer gowns of Hollywood's biggest stars, Sunday's main events were filled with anticipation, adrenaline, surprises, shout-outs and standing ovations.
While Danica Patrick made history as the first woman to win the pole position and lead a lap under green in the 500, posting a gender-best top-ten finish, 9-year old Quvenzhane Wallis was celebrating her Oscar nomination as the youngest ever recognized by the Academy.
Patrick fan, James Franco, an actor who famously bombed as co-host of the 2011 Oscars, flubbed his race marshal duties by botching the "gentlemen start your engines" line; he's now an infamous footnote of both spectacles.
Las Vegas lays odds on each, the winners of which will both likely find themselves on David Letterman.
Oscar nominees give shout-outs to their dress, shoe and jewelry designers as well as their publicists, stylists and other "team" members. NASCAR drivers thank their crews and work their sponsors into their interviews.
When it came to post-win comments, it was best picture winner, Ben Affleck who seemed to channel inspirational coaches from the world of sports. The emotional force behind "Argo" said:
"You have to work harder than you think you possibly can … and it doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life because that's gonna happen, all that matters is you gotta get up."
While Daniel Day-Lewis celebrated a record third Oscar, Jimmy Johnson joined the short list of multiple winners of the Daytona 500.
He added to his storied five-championship career by posting a win in his 400th career start, a feat also achieved by the likes of Lee & Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt Sr.
The sport of racing and the art of filmmaking may not both appeal to everyone, however, there is common ground in the "why" these two unique forms of competition and entertainment each capture millions of fans.
Racing, like the movies, gives us unique stories to follow, heroes and villains, high drama, plenty of laughs, and of course, fantastic finishes. It's not the sparkling scene of the Academy Awards, but the high-bank home of stock car racing is a stage all its own.

Questions on CaribSea Arag-Alive Fiji Pink Live Sand, 20 lb.
No questions asked yet
Ask Your Own Question
Just the right size Review by Ron
Product Rating:
This sand in my opinion is just the right size. Not too large for sand burrowing creatures and not too small that it blows all over your tank. Like other have said it does cloud up the tank for a few hours but after that has settled it is a very nice clean looking, very white sand.
Very happy with my purchase and Aquacave shipped it very quickly. (Posted on 3/18/2016)
Very nice subtrate Review by Reinaldo
Product Rating:
I have used many different types of sand, from dry to live with different outcomes. While the best advice in this hobby is to take things slow, sometimes you just do not have the luxury or patience. That being said, I have used this product with much success. The sand is white under leds which is the look I was after and does not blow around easily. Would highly recommend and will use again when the time calls. (Posted on 3/13/2016)
Great sand Review by Joshua
Product Rating:
Very white under the LEDs we have, which is what we were looking for. Does make the tank cloudy when you first add it, but it settled out in about 6-8 hours. (Posted on 3/2/2016)
Clean Sand Review by Mark
Product Rating:
Nice and clean sand, when I add it to my tank it clouded the water , but cleared up fast. Now I wish all my substrate was this sand. (Posted on 11/17/2014)

But after speculation hit fever-pitch, the Redmond Wash. company addressed the issue via the corporate Twitter account.
"Steve Ballmer is not speaking at Apple Dv. Conf. Nor appearing on Dancing with the Stars. Nor riding in the Belmont. Just FYI," the tweet said.
The entire rumor spawned from Trip Chowdhry, an analyst with Global Equities Research. Chowdhry sheepishly added that if Ballmer doesn't give the speech regarding Microsofts new Virtual Studio 2010, Bob Muglia, the president of server and business tools would give the presentation. Nice cop-out.

Hockey is a violent sport.
That fact often gets lost as we try to keep up with the fastest game on two skates, but when budding talents like Sidney Crosby are taken away from us, it's a rude reminder of the career mortality of our NHL stars.
In recent seasons, the emphasis on concussion awareness and treatment has kept even more NHLers off the ice. As a fan, it's frustrating to see your team's best player in street clothes, but the safety of the players has to come first.
From Gary Bettman on down to each team's training staff, the NHL has done an good job of implementing guidelines of dealing with concussions and ensuring that players don't return until they're absolutely healthy.
On that somber note, let's take a look at a few hockey heroes who just haven't been able to stay on the ice.

Jack McGee
Born on February 2, 1949
From Bronx, New York
Jack McGee as "George Ward"
For Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg), boxing is a family affair. His tough-as-nails mother is his manager. His half-brother, Dicky (Christian Bale), once a promising boxer himself, is his very unreliable trainer. Despite Micky's hard work, he is losing and, when the latest fight nearly kills him, he follows his girlfriend's advice and splits from the family. Then Micky becomes a contender for the world title and he -- and his family -- earns a shot at redemption.

The National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre at the University of New South Wales will lead a new Centre of Research Excellence (CRE) targeting co-occurring mental illness and substance use – a debilitating comorbidity which affects more than 300,000 Australians every year.
The world first Centre of Research Excellence in Mental Health and Substance Use: Translating Innovative Prevention and Treatment will receive $2.5 million in National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) funding over the next five years. It will be led by NDARC's Prof Maree Teesson in collaboration with Prof Amanda Baker (University of Newcastle), Prof Paul Haber (University of Sydney), and Associate Prof Andrew Baillie (Macquarie University).
Other UNSW researchers are Dr Katherine Mills (NDARC), Dr Frances Kay-Lambkin (NDARC) and Professor Helen Christensen from the Black Dog Institute.
Mental health and substance use disorders account for more years of life lost due to disability than any other disorder and are second only to cancer and cardiovascular disease as leading causes of disease burden. In young Australians (15 – 24 years) the top 10 causes of illness are dominated by mental and substance use disorders. Around 35 per cent of individuals with a substance use disorder also have a mental illness, most commonly depression or anxiety. Around 80 per cent of people in treatment for substance use disorders have experienced trauma and nearly half have active post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
"When mental health and substance use disorders occur together they are extremely difficult to treat as both conditions serve to maintain or exacerbate the other," says Professor Teesson.
"These co morbidities lead to very poor treatment outcomes and severe illness in the long term shortening lives by 20-30 years compared to people without such conditions. Treatment and prevention of these comorbid mental health and substance use disorders are one of health's most significant challenges.
"While awareness of the extent of the problem and treatment options have increased significantly over the past few years it is still common for the substance use and the mental health problems to be treated separately. This leaves individuals on a merry-go-round of untreated disorders, the one feeding the other, leading to years of unnecessary suffering."
Chief Investigators on the CRE in Mental Health and Substance Use are: Professor Teesson (UNSW); Professor Amanda Baker, University of Newcastle, Dr Katherine Mills (NDARC), Dr Frances Kay-Lambkin (NDARC), Professor Paul Haber (University of Sydney); Associate Professor Andrew Baillie (Macquarie University); Professor Helen Christensen (UNSW); Professor Max Birchwood (University of Birmingham UK); Professor Bonnie Spring (Northwestern University Medical School, USA), Professor Kathleen Brady (Medical University of South Carolina).

Calendar artist
LEWISTOWN – When Megan Maclay isn't busy volunteering at church, swimming in the Special Olympics, dancing at Taz Fitness or working at SKILLS, she likes to pick up a camera and take pictures. The fact that she was born with Down's Syndrome has never slowed her down.
"I like to stay busy," Megan said. "I have a job and I'm independent."
Recently, one of Megan's photos was chosen as a feature piece in the Works for Me Employment Resources and Work Incentives 2013 calendar. Her photo, "Garden Pleasures," represents the month of July.
"I have been taking pictures for a long time," Megan said. "I love flowers and the picture turned out very nice. It makes me very happy that they picked my picture."
Megan's photo captures the image of a vintage bike, resting against the wooden fence of a garden. The bike's travel basket holds a collection of purple and yellow flowers as the sun shines on the ground.
Dawn Wray, a community specialist through Supportive Concepts, had encouraged Megan to submit work for the contest. This was a great chance for Megan to showcase her artistic talents, she added.
"Megan is always game to try something new," Wray said. "She ended up submitting two photos and a watercolor. I just had a gut feeling she would be a finalist."
Megan's photo, and 11 others, were chosen out of 370 submissions, said Diane Cashman, program director of Works for Me, an organization that assists people living with disabilities to find a job. This is the second year the organization has held the calendar contest, she added.
"The calendar project is such a neat idea for people with disabilities to showcase their talents," Cashman said. "It's such a heartwarming project and the artwork is just amazing."
Works for Me wanted to make sure the artists received recognition for their work, Cashman said. So each of the finalists were invited to stay the night at Hershey Lodge and attend an awards ceremony.
Megan stayed at the hotel and went to the ceremony with her brother, she said. Going as a family was important to her, she added.
"They had a dinner to honor us and we got certificates," Megan said. "It was very exciting."
Each of the finalists also received 25 copies of the calendar to give to family and friends, Cashman said. Works for Me then distributed more than 40,000 copies to organizations, agencies and schools across Pennsylvania.
"The main purpose of the calendar is for outreach and education, promoting employment for people with disabilities," Cashman said. "Each page of the calendar includes important information and resources for those who work with people living with a disability."
It's especially important that the calendars be used by guidance counselors in schools to teach students with disabilities that they can pursue employment or higher education after high school, Cashman said.
All of the Works for Me services are provided at no cost, Cashman said. People living with a disability can use the organization's resources to access agencies and programs that help with finding a job, obtaining job training, keeping health insurance, getting assistive technology, finding support and possibly increasing monthly income.
For more information on the Works for Me program, visit www.worksforme-pa.org. To order a free calendar, contact Diane Cashman at 783-5755 or through email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Chesapeake Energy Haunted By A Bad Deal, Bankruptcy Looms?

- RBC Capital is the latest to jump on the Chesapeake Energy (CHK -3.7%) bandwagon, upgrading shares to Sector Perform from Underperform with an $8 price target, raised from $7, reflecting the company's lower cost structure and improved margin outlook over the next few years.
- CHK believes its EBITDA will double by 2018 while increasing liquids contribution to more than 30% of production; RBC thinks the outlook is achievable and competitive with top-tier operators, but debt reduction will require strong asset sale execution.
- The firm sees potential upcoming catalysts including oil growth from Powder River assets, the Mid-Con opportunity, well results from natural gas assets and restructuring of the Eagle ford midstream deal.
- Shares are sharply lower today despite the upgrade, the most recent of several analyst upgrades and stock price target increases.
Mon, Oct. 24, 6:43 PM
- Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) is OK for investors to include as "part of a higher-beta portfolio" amid an improving long-term outlook for the company, Susquehanna analysts say as they raise their stock price target to $7 from $6.50.
- Although CHK will have a significant cash flow outspend next year, Susquehanna says the long-term outlook provided last week suggests the company is on a path towards cash flow neutrality by mid-2018; the firm's latest model suggests CHK can grow ~10% in 2018 with all-in capex of $2.6B and only a ~$200M outspend.
- The firm expects Increased production combined with lower operating and transportation costs to yield a more than doubling of EBITDA in 2018 vs. the H2 2016 run rate, prompting a drop in net leverage (including working capital deficit) to ~4x from nearly 9x expected exiting this year.
Fri, Oct. 21, 12:23 PM
- Chesapeake Energy (CHK -2.3%) merits upgrades from BofA Merrill Lynch and Nomura and price target hikes from several more analysts following the company's analyst day, which included news of a CHK)+Shares+Rise+to+Session+Highs+Amid+Analyst+Day%3B+Notes+Recent+Record+Frack+in+Haynesville+Shale/12151390.html" target="_blank">record frack in a Louisiana well.
- "CEO Doug Lawler and CFO Dominic Dell'Osso deserve a lot of credit for a substantive repositioning," Nomura says in its upgrade to Neutral, which includes an improved $7.50 price target as it removes its discount tied to future liquidity and funding; BofA's new price target is $10.
- CHK said in a presentation that it set a new record for fracking by pumping more than 25K tons of sand down a Louisiana gas well, a process it called "propageddon," which improved output from the well by 70% over traditional fracking techniques.
- Additional stock price target hikes come from Jefferies, UBS and Deutsche Bank, with the latter saying, "The asset base has significantly improved its capital efficiency and productivity... that should provide improved visibility in achieving the multi-year targets."
- UBS raises its target to $6 from $4.25 but maintains a Sell rating, believing CHK's disclosed target of reaching free cash flow neutrality in 2018 is too optimistic.
Thu, Oct. 20, 11:33 AM
- Chesapeake Energy's (CHK -2.8%) $1.5B leveraged loan has surged in the secondary market normally reserved for high-yield bonds, aided by a combination of stiff investor protections and rebounding commodity prices, Reuters reports.
- When CHK tapped the loan market this summer, investors were attracted by a rare feature preventing the debt from being called for two years, and then paying big premiums if the debt was repaid.
- Over the past two months, the loan has steadily advanced to a bid of 106.5 on Wednesday in the secondary market, alone among liquid trading loans at such high levels.
- CHK's unique two-year non-call protection is in heavy demand now, as many performing loans are being repriced to cut spreads and make other borrower-friendly adjustments.
Wed, Oct. 19, 4:56 PM
- Joint venture partners Williams Partners (NYSE:WPZ) and Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE:CEQP) announce an agreement with Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) to restructure natural gas gathering and processing services in Wyoming's Powder River Basin.
- The companies say the restructured services will replace the current cost-of-service arrangement and improve economics to support a ramp-up in near-term development and production activity and incentivize long-term development across an expanded area of dedication in the region.
- The restructured terms of service are expected to include minimum annual revenue guarantees that support the transition to a new fixed-fee structure over the next 5-7 years.
Tue, Oct. 18, 2:52 PM
- Chesapeake Energy (CHK +2.9%) will host its first Analyst Day in two years this Thursday, and analysts at Susquehanna raise their price target on the shares to $6.50 from $4.50 ahead of the meeting.
- Susquehanna says Analyst Day likely will highlight progress on two key fronts - that CHK has sufficient and potentially growing inventory depth, and can continue to improve capital efficiency - which, combined with further asset sales, could pave the way for progress towards cash flow neutrality and addressing longer-term maturities.
- The firm thinks productivity improvements could be the highlight of Analyst Day, with Haynesville perhaps receiving the most investor attention given its proximity to the Henry Hub market.
Mon, Oct. 17, 12:28 PM
- Chesapeake Energy (CHK -3.3%) is sharply lower even as Citigroup analysts raise their stock price target to $8 ahead of the company's first analyst day in two years, although they remain concerned about debt levels, particularly if commodity prices retreat.
- Citi believes production is poised to organically increase from this point forward and is underappreciated by the market, projecting CHK will increase production ~5% in 2017, above its current guidance for a 2%-7% decline, driven by strong well performance in the Haynesville and dry gas Utica shale plays.
- Based on accelerating activity following the recent capital restructuring, and thus a lower accrued preferred dividend, and a higher outlook for Utica growth, Citi's 2017 EPS/CFPS estimates are nearly unchanged at $0.68 and $2.33 vs. $0.68 and $2.34 previously.
Thu, Oct. 13, 2:42 PM
- Chesapeake Energy (CHK +1.7%) is higher even as UBS reaffirms its Sell rating on the stock, saying the company's debt load remains too high.
- UBS says CHK's liquidity position has improved, principal debt has been reduced by more than $1B YTD, and 2017 debt maturities have been cut by two thirds to $658M, but it believes financial leverage remains "far too high," and the company needs to explain at its upcoming analyst day - its first since May 2014 - how it plans to reduce debt by $2B-$3B over the next few years.
- UBS says even assuming CHK can achieve $3B of asset sales in 2017-18, the firm estimates it still would have net debt/EBITDA of greater than 4x at year-end 2018 under its price deck and before volumes associated with a deal.
Thu, Oct. 6, 2:48 PM
- Chesapeake Energy (CHK -1.2%) is reiterated with a Buy rating and $10 price target at Wunderlich, which says CHK is making the right moves to solidify itself in the near term to take advantage of the future.
- Wunderlich believes "if investors look through the noise and focus on the company, there is ample opportunity" in CHK: The debt and convertible debt issuances will help build a war chest for future redemptions and activity, converting preferred stock to common will further simplify the balance sheet, and the company now has plenty of cash with expected from its divestiture plan.
- The firm says it likes the moves CHK has made and, given its discounted trading metrics vs. peers, expects shares to outperform as the company continues to excel operationally and financially.
Wed, Oct. 5, 5:40 PM
- Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) says it has amassed more than enough cash to pay bondholders through the end of 2018.
- CHK says it has closed its $1.25B private placement of unsecured convertible notes that it can convert to shares in 2019 under certain circumstances, and now has $1B in cash on hand in addition to an undrawn revolving credit line.
- "With the cash proceeds from the convertible note offering, we have taken measures to provide excess liquidity to address the remaining maturities of our debt through 2018, before any incremental proceeds from the potential asset sales that we are currently working," CEO Doug Lawler says.
- CHK was one of the biggest gainers in today's session, climbing 6.7%, in part thanks to a sharp rise in crude oil futures.
Thu, Sep. 29, 2:03 PM
Thu, Sep. 29, 9:12 AM
- Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) -4% premarket after announcing a private placement of $850M of convertible debt, with an option for placement of an additional $150M.
- CHK says it plans to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including paying down debt and the repayment of credit facilities.
- CHK also confirms it received subpoenas from the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Postal Service and certain state authorities seeking information on royalty payment practices.
Wed, Sep. 28, 6:55 PM
- Short sellers appear to be exiting Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK), following Carl Icahn out the door after the activist investor halved his stake in the company last week.
- S3 Partners analyst Matthew Unterman estimates CHK short interest has dropped as much as 20% since Sept. 19, to $600M from $750M, when Icahn disclosed his reduced holding to the market.
- As more shares hit lending pools due to Icahn's long sales, borrow spot rates have hit YTD lows, in contrast to February, when indicative fees hit as high as 50% when the stock price hit its 52-week low of $1.59, Unterman explains.
- "Investors will be watching closely what Icahn's next move is, as he may be planning on cutting his stake even further now that he has no board representation. And if he does, shorts sellers will realize additional profits," according to Unterman.
Wed, Sep. 28, 12:08 PM
- With no central clearinghouse for credit default swaps, trades get reported just once a week and the last couple of weeks of data showed action of considerable interest.
- Normal weekly trading volume in CDS for Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) is about $100M, says a source, but last week someone purchased a full $1B of insurance on Chesapeake. To put that amount in perspective, typically only major countries or the largest financial institutions ever see that sort of trade size.
- This week's data shows trading volume in CHK CDS has returned to normal.
- A bear might say someone who knows something is taking advantage of the recent large decline in premium for Chesapeake CDS to place a very large bet on an imminent default.
- Of course, there's the other side of the trade, and some financial institution (or, more likely a syndicate of them) was happy to sell the insurance. The sale, though, could be for any number of reasons. For one, business at banks is slow, so why not earn some premium. For another, if an institution is already short CHK debt, the sale of CDS helps create income to offset the cost of that short.
Tue, Sep. 27, 9:48 AM
- Chesapeake Energy (CHK -5.6%) discloses the resignation of two board members, including a representative of activist investor Carl Icahn, a week after Icahn cut his holdings in the company by more than half to ~4.5%.
- Vincent Intrieri, who has served as senior managing director of Icahn Capital, had served on CHK's board since 2012, when CHK named four new independent directors, three proposed by then-largest shareholder Southeastern Asset Management and one proposed by Icahn.
- John Lipinski, the other departing director, had served on CHK's board since 2014.
- CHK says the resignations were not the result of any disagreement, but offers no further explanation.
Tue, Sep. 20, 6:48 PM
- Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) fell 3.7% in today's trade after Carl Icahn cut his stake in the company by more than half and S&P Global Ratings downgraded its credit rating to Selective Default from CC.
- S&P says it views CHK's tender for senior notes due 2020 and 2023 as a distressed transaction because investors received a material discount to par value.
- S&P's Selective Default designation means that it believes a company has "selectively defaulted on a specific issue or class of obligations, but will continue to meet its payment obligations on other issues or classes of obligations in a timely manner."
- After a 90% run-up from June 25 to Sept. 12, when shares closed above $8, CHK has since retreated by 18%.

Police found out about a man suspected of raping a 22-year-old woman along the Springwater Corridor in Gresham last week from the accused man's brother, investigators said.
Thomas Peacock, 51, showed up at his brother's Gresham home on his bike wearing muddy pants and carrying two knives shortly after the March 18 attack, according to court records filed Friday.
That caught his brother's attention because Peacock usually carried a single knife. Melvin Peacock became suspicious, he later told a detective, when he heard about the assault and the suspect's description on the news.
The attacker wore a red jacket, police said. So did Thomas Peacock, his brother said.
Thomas Peacock, convicted of attempted murder in the 1980s and recently released from prison, was arraigned Friday on charges of first-degree rape, unlawful sexual penetration, first-degree sexual abuse, first-degree kidnapping, first-degree robbery and unlawful use of a weapon.
He was placed in an isolation cell at the downtown Portland jail because he told staff he might hurt himself or others, court records show.
Gresham police said the woman was sexually assaulted after she flagged down a man riding a mountain bike and asked him for help when she got a flat on her bike, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court.
The man began to hand her a bike pump when he grabbed her forearm, the affidavit said. He took a knife from the woman that she had clipped to her front pants pocket and held it to her throat, then told her that he'd kill her if she screamed or tried to leave and forced her into a secluded area near the path, police said.
He raped her, but quickly dressed and left after the woman told him that she was 12 years old, she told police. She went to a nearby Walmart and called police. She identified Peacock on Wednesday from a lineup of six photos, the affidavit said.
The woman told a detective that Peacock stole her knife and money from her purse after the attack.
The detective interviewed Peacock and he denied assaulting the woman but acknowledged riding his bike on the path that day, according to the affidavit.
At the time of the attack, Peacock was wanted on a parole violation. He had been released from prison in August. He was first sent to prison in 1984 on a 20-year sentence for burglary and robbery in Multnomah County.
On May 1, 1988, Peacock and two other men walked away from the farm annex of the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem in their prison blue uniforms, according to state Department of Correction records.
The group found its way to a Plaid Pantry in Salem, where they attacked a 63-year-old man, according to an account in The Oregonian.
Jamese Rhoades, who was a Marion County deputy district attorney at the time, said the escapees tried to slit the man's throat with a dull box cutter, and when he didn't die, they struck him in the head with a railroad spike.
"They wanted this guy's car. They wanted money," said Rhoades, who became a Circuit Court judge and is now retired. "They wanted alcohol. ... They probably wanted to get to Portland."
The fugitives fled in a stolen car, but an attentive rookie police officer gave chase and cornered them on a dead-end street, Rhoades said. As the other two men fled on foot, Peacock found himself stuck in the car and proceeded to drink as much of the stolen beer that he could until his recapture, she said.
The severity of the escape and attack led to an additional 30 years added to Peacock's sentence. During his time in prison, Peacock was also found guilty of possession of a weapon in 1987 and attempting to supply contraband in 1993, said Betty Bernt, a Department of Corrections spokeswoman.
The Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision followed guidelines that allowed for his early release on Aug. 21, 2015, said Brenda Carney, executive director.
By Oct. 15, the board issued a warrant for his arrest for violations reported by his parole officers, she said. He was suspected of using controlled substances, had not reported to his parole officer or reported a change of address, she said.
Before his release, a psychological evaluation revealed that Peacock has a "mental emotional disturbance, deficiency, condition or disorder" the could lead to other crimes, according to board records. But the board also found that Peacock could be "adequately controlled with supervision and mental health treatment which are available in the community."
The parole board must follow complicated formulas to calculate when a prisoner may be released that include one set of guidelines for people charged before Nov. 1, 1989, and a different set of guidelines for supervision after that date, Carney said.
Peacock was arrested without incident Thursday near the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge in southeast Portland, Gresham police said in a news release.
