BIG-IP LTM and BIG-IP DNS monitor mechanics
On the surface, the BIG-IP LTM and DNS (formerly GTM) monitors appear to provide roughly the same functionality. However, the operation and configuration of monitors differs significantly between BIG-IP LTM and DNS systems, particularly in the area of monitor timing. This article compares and contrasts the basic operations of BIG-IP LTM and DNS monitors, and describes the BIG-IP DNS monitor timer settings and their interactions in detail.
BIG-IP LTM monitors
The BIG-IP LTM health monitors are designed to check the status of pool members at a set interval. If a monitor target does not respond with the expected response within the configured timeout, the BIG-IP LTM system marks the object Unavailable and does not send traffic to the object until it is again Available. Since the BIG-IP LTM normally monitors devices in the network in which it resides, BIG-IP LTM monitors can afford to be somewhat verbose in terms of generating network traffic, including the overhead of multiple requests before marking an object Unavailable.
Generally, the BIG-IP LTM monitors operate in the following manner:
BIG-IP DNS monitors
The BIG-IP DNS health monitors are designed to check the status of a pool or virtual server at a set interval. If the monitor target returns an incorrect response, or does not respond within a specified timeout period, the BIG-IP DNS system marks the object Unavailable and does not send traffic to it until it is again Available. Since monitored objects may reside in multiple data centers over long geographical distances, the BIG-IP DNS monitors typically must be conservative in their use of shared WAN bandwidth, and must take into account the potential for increased latency. To minimize monitor related network traffic, the default interval for BIG-IP DNS monitors is typically longer than for BIG-IP LTM monitors, and by default the BIG-IP DNS system marks objects Unavailable more aggressively than the BIG-IP LTM system.
Generally, the BIG-IP DNS monitors operate in the following manner:
Note: In BIG-IP DNS 10.0.0 and later, you can mimic the less aggressive BIG-IP LTM behavior by setting the Ignore Down Response setting to Yes in the monitor configuration Advanced settings. Setting Ignore Down Response to Yes forces a BIG-IP DNS system which receives an incorrect monitor response or a TCP reset to wait until the monitor timeout has expired before marking the object Unavailable, rather than marking the object Unavailable immediately.
Interaction between BIG-IP LTM and BIG-IP DNS monitors
In general, F5 recommends that you monitor objects as closely as possible to the servers that are providing the content. For example, if you are using BIG-IP LTM to provide local load balancing for names resolved by BIG-IP DNS, F5 recommends configuring only the BIG-IP LTM to monitor the LTM pool members, allowing the BIG-IP DNS to collect object status information from the BIG-IP LTM system without configuring additional DNS monitors for the same objects. This results in the desired conservation of shared WAN bandwidth, and eliminates cross-data center latency.
The BIG-IP LTM and BIG-IP DNS work in concert to maintain the status of objects managed by BIG-IP DNS that are locally load balanced by BIG-IP LTM, exchanging information about system and object status using F5's iQuery protocol. To support this constant exchange of status information, a mesh of iQuery connections is established between the gtmd processes on the BIG-IP DNS systems and the big3d processes running on the BIG-IP LTM systems. To establish this communication mesh, the gtmd daemon on each BIG-IP DNS system in the sync group will attempt to establish an iQuery connection to each self IP address listed for each server configured as type BIG-IP. In addition, if Link Discovery is enabled and a BIG-IP server uses a default gateway pool, the gtmd process will also attempt to connect to any self IP address that resides on a default gateway's subnet.
Note: An iQuery connection is an SSL connection originated by the gtmd daemon to the big3d daemon running on port 4353 of the BIG-IP server. When the big3d daemon starts, it listens for port 4353 on all configured self IP addresses and the management IP address.
The information exchange between BIG-IP DNS and BIG-IP LTM begins with a request (referred to as a probe request) that is sent by the gtmd process to a big3d process to retrieve the status of a specific object. The probe request instructs the big3d process regarding performance of the probe, including the timeout, and for some monitors, the timing of multiple probes. The big3d process uses iQuery to broadcast its response to the requester and to any of its sync group members that have an established iQuery connection. The BIG-IP DNS system dynamically selects the big3d process for each probe request. The BIG-IP DNS system will choose big3d processes that only exist within the same datacenter as the monitored device. However, selection is dynamic among the available big3d processes in the datacenter. If this behavior is undesirable, the BIG-IP DNS Prober Pools feature (10.2.0 and later) allows you to configure specific group(s) of BIG-IP devices to use as the designated big3d monitoring points. You can then assign the Prober Pools feature to specific DNS servers.
Important: A probe request does not precipitate a continuous status update of that object by the big3d process. The big3d process will only broadcast the current probe status once in response to each gtmd-initiated probe request. Configuring multiple Probe Attempts for monitors that support it does not change this behavior: A single response to the probe request is derived from the results of the probe. Once the big3d process has broadcast its response to the probe request, the big3d process will delete all information related to that probe request. In order to receive an updated status from the big3d process, the gtmd process must issue a new probe request regarding the object.
BIG-IP DNS monitor timers
The available BIG-IP DNS monitor timers are defined as follows:
Note: You must configure a Timeout value for all BIG-IP DNS monitor types.
Note: You must configure a Probe Timeout value for all BIG-IP DNS monitor types except for the BIG-IP and BIG-IP Link monitor types.
Note: You can configure a Probe Attempts value only for the following monitor types: Gateway ICMP, SNMP, SNMP Link, TCP Half Open, and UDP. All other monitor types are hardcoded to one probe attempt. However, in version 10.0.0 and later, if you set the Ignore Down Response setting to Yes (in the Advanced monitor settings), the system will wait until the monitor timeout has expired before marking the object Unavailable, rather than marking the object Unavailable immediately.
Note: You can configure a Probe Interval value only for monitor types which allow configuration of the Probe Attempts value: Gateway ICMP, SNMP, SNMP Link, TCP Half Open, and UDP.

Metallica and Linkin Park will headline Sonisphere, a new festival to be held at Knebworth House.
As predicted on Virtual Festivals last year, the event, will take place at the stately home this summer.
The festival will run for two days from 1-2 August and it will also feature Lamb Of God and Mastodon, with more names to be announced.
Speaking about playing the festival series, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich said: "We're stoked to be touring England and Europe with Sonisphere. Summer festivals in Europe are what Metallica do best. We can't wait to see all of our fans over there."
The festival is also set to take place in Holland, Spain, Germany, Sweden and Finland.
60,000 fans are expected at the English leg of the festival, which will have two alternating stages of live music as well as DJs, soundsystems, walkabouts, cinema, freak shows and food stalls.
Tickets go on sale this Wednesday (11 February) priced at £157.50 for a camping pass. A link to buy Sonisphere tickets will be online when available.
Camping will be available from the Thursday with festival-goers allowed to stay four days until the Sunday.
The event is the first festival to be set up by former Download boss Stuart Galbraith, who has set up his own event's company Kilimanjaro.

Fifth Down is a series at BuckeyeNation where we chat with impact players in Ohio State athletics.
Doran Grant will likely never forget Saturday's 29-15 win over UAB. Pressed into a starting role, the sophomore recorded seven tackles, one sack, recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass to keep the Buckeyes afloat in the secondary.
But that's something the 5-foot-11, 188-pound cornerback has been doing for quite some time.
A two-time all-state selection at Akron (Ohio) St. Vincent-St. Mary, he recorded 203 tackles and had six interceptions for the Fighting Irish. He also made 88 catches for 1,115 yards and added 25 touchdowns on offense.
Named to the Under Armour, Ohio North-South and Big 33 all-star games, Grant was also a state champion in the 110-meter hurdles (outdoor) and 60-meter hurdles (indoor).
BN: What did it mean to get that start against UAB on Saturday?
Grant: It was my chance to show the coaches and Buckeye Nation what I could do, but I had a lot of support from Travis [Howard] and Bradley [Roby].
BN: What has Roby taught you in your time here?
Grant: Ever since I stepped in, it's been very positive. He's been like a big brother. He and Travis, I appreciate and love them both.
BN: You played in the same area with teammate Christian Bryant growing up, tell me about that bond?
Grant: Me and Christian ran track together, I knew him growing up through sports. We just love and respect each other.
BN: Who was faster?
Grant:Honestly, Christian was faster when we were younger, but I think I can get him right now.
BN: How long have you been waiting for a moment like that with the interception?
Grant: I've wanted it since I stepped on campus. It was very exciting, especially when the older guys came to me and congratulated me.
BN: How much have you grown as a player since you've been here?
Grant: I feel like I've grown a lot. The game and how you see it is way different than high school. I think that was the biggest part. Winter conditioning and film has helped me with that. It's the knowledge of the game, the game speed and understanding what I have to do when I'm on the field.
BN: How about patience -- how difficult has it been for you to wait before you can come out and make plays like you did against UAB?
Grant: I do what I have to do. It's like Coach [Luke] Fickell and Coach [Mike] Vrabel say, 'Make the play when it comes your way.' I try to make the play all the time.
BN: How much have you grown under Urban Meyer?
Grant: A lot. He's way more than a coach. Some people might think he's crazy, but that's just enthusiasm. That's what you need for Ohio State football.
BN: How much different is the game speed at the college level?
Grant: Last year, I thought it was way faster than high school, but as I grew as a player and understood things, it wasn't as fast as I thought it would be.

RUSH: I want to get into the Health Care Stack here, folks. It is just outrageous, and the bottom line is, it's worse than anybody is admitting. I'm talking about from the Regime. I think it's worse than anybody really even knows. But it has been mentioned earlier today, and I want to reemphasize this: I don't think that it is designed to work. It can't. This is the point. You know our great 17-year-old caller who watched the Hillsdale College online course Econ 101.
The professor illustrated that the government cannot replicate the private sector. They can't take over and make the private sector work as it works unfettered -- well, not unfettered, there's regulation, but without the government being involved. They just can't do it, no matter what it is, making sure everybody has pencils, making sure everybody has food. No, they cannot do it, and it's not that these people can't do it, although they can't. They're maybe the least qualified of anybody that's tried.
But government as an entity can't do it.
The private sector, capitalism, free markets, cease to exist once the government interferes, once the government attempts to take over and control it. They just can't do it. It isn't possible. And the professor's point was it'll never work. But yet that's not stopping them from doing it, is it? It's not stopping Obama from trying, is it? It's not ending the daily soap opera of whether or not the website's up and running, whether it's gonna work out eventually, whether or not you'll be able to get health care, whether or not all of your data is secure.
Every suspenseful item is left open with no answer to it. The bottom line is, it just can't work. Liberalism doesn't work for the people that it's aimed for. The poor, minorities, it never works. Never makes people happy, never makes people satisfied. All it does is fails. Now, the people who run it, however, never, ever recognize this, do they? They just keep plowing ahead. So you have to conclude, well, it isn't designed to. I want to start here with F. Chuck Todd on Today show today.
He is the White House correspondent and the political director. Well, I don't know if he's still political director. But he's the White House correspondent at NBC News. And the news anchor, Natalie Morales, said, Chuck, "President Obama is going to focus on the broader benefits of the health care law today at a White House event as he tries to move past all the website woes." That's, by the way, at 2:30 Eastern time.
The big news today is that Obama has announced a new offensive, a new initiative. He's gonna be out there every day touting the benefits, the additional benefits, the new benefits. And of course every day, the story is going to be, "Did the president succeed today?" and the suspense and the drama will be never ending. The questions will never be answered, because soap operas never end. So here's F. Chuck. He's all excited because Obama and the Regime are gonna start touting the website today.
TODD: Well, the White House is confident enough that HealthCare.gov is working well enough that they can do something that they've tried to do many times before: Launch a coordinated campaign led by President Obama to tout the benefits of the health care law. He's gonna tout the website, and every day between now and December 23rd -- the last day you can enroll in order to get health insurance by January 1st -- you're gonna see some event launched here at the White House touting this health care law, and all of this because they believe finally HealthCare.gov is a -- at least a workable website, if not a perfect one.
RUSH: But it isn't. Did you see this report? It's not about real things. It's not about the effect of this on real people. It's not about reality at all. It's the game, the drama, the suspense. "Can Obama convince people that it's working? Can Obama succeed in reversing these fortunes? Can Obama turn a website that was ill-performing into one that is passably acceptable by the American people?" They're just meaningless, worthless questions, and I'm sure Chuck thinks he did a great report there.
But Chuck's report is vacuous. It doesn't affect, it doesn't impact, it has nothing to do with any reality whatsoever -- and that's the media meme of the day. The narrative of the day is it's working at least well enough now that the Dear Leader can run out there and tout it without losing any credibility at all. Obama thinks that all he has to do is tell a better story. All he's got to do is use a different set of words to describe it, and magically, he can change people's attitudes about it.
But the bottom line is, you go there, and it still doesn't work. The latest news today is that if you think you've signed up, you may not have. You gotta call your insurance company to make sure. Now in the old days, folks, it was really intolerable. You would meet with a representative of the insurance company, and you would make the deal on your policy, and that would be that -- and that was unfair, and it was mean-spirited and extreme and discriminatory.
So now, it's been streamlined.
It's about improved markedly.
Now you go to the HealthCare.gov website and spend hours and days trying to log in. Then you finally make it. If you don't get shut out, or disconnected, you finally stay in long enough to where you think you've signed up, and then you're told that every bit of personal data is unsecure and it could be in the hands of anybody, and then after you've spent days doing that, then you're told to make sure that you actually are covered, you have to call an insurance company.
Now, last night on Greta Van Susteren's show, Representative Mike Rogers guested. He told Greta Van Susteren that data security at HealthCare.gov did not even meet minimal standards for the industry. In terms of the private sector velocity and efficiency claimed by the Regime over the last couple days. I have to remind you, I am just blown away that members of the administration actually talk that way. They actually said that the website and the team running HealthCare.gov were operating with private sector velocity and effectiveness.
Now, these people hate the private sector, and I'm not exaggerating. To people in the Democrat Party, the private sector is no more than this fatted calf golden goose that is always gonna be fat and it's there to be taken from, but it's resented. Capitalism is where unfairness and discrimination and inequality reside, and it's unacceptable -- and yet what do they resort to in order to assure everybody that their website's up and running? That it is proceeding with private sector velocity and effectiveness.
Except that it isn't.
Because Congressman Rogers said that experts warned him they would be sued out of business if they rolled out a website with this many security gaps. And this is how bad it is. You keep this in mind as you see or read or hear about Obama back on the stump today and every day through December. I mean, that's what everybody wants, right? I mean, isn't it bad enough that he already tried to hijack Thanksgiving for this stupid thing by sending his little Obamabots out to every Thanksgiving dinner to try to corrupt every Thanksgiving meal with his Obamabots touting it and lying about it and telling lies about it?
It's not enough to hijack Thanksgiving, now Obama's gotta hijack the entire Christmas season by being out there every day touting the benefits, which will be covered every day by a slavish media totally absorbed in the expense of it, in the drama of it? So what normally would be a great Christmas holiday season (well, maybe not this one because of Obama's economy) we're not gonna be able to escape Obama every day touting this thing. But Congressman Rogers said that the White House -- and remember this, again, when you see Obama out selling this thing and touting it.
Mike Rogers said the White House refused to brief Congress on the known security risks and attacks that have already taken place. They wouldn't even tell 'em in closed session. They wouldn't tell 'em off the record. They wouldn't tell them with tight security. They would not be honest. That's why I think that this is worse than we know.
That's why I think that the real status of this, the dangers that associate with everybody that goes to this website, I think they are more profound, deeper, worse than anybody dares admit. Because if the Regime will not even admit the known risks and the security attacks, the hacks that have been attempted and succeeded already in closed session, Rogers said, "'That's just unconscionable,' especially when the same people who will not brief them are out cajoling people to put their identity information at risk."
Now, Congressman Rogers is not alone. "Rogers echoed the concerns of David Kennedy, the former Marine Corps cyberwarfare expert who warned Congress last month to shut down Healthcare.gov until the security gaps were closed." This is from HotAir.com, Ed Morrissey.
Kennedy said this. "After warning Americans when testifying before Congress on Nov. 19 to stay away from Healthcare.gov, Kennedy now says the situation is even worse. 'They said they implemented over 400 bug fixes,' he said. 'When you recode the application to fix these 400 bugs -- they were rushing this out of the door to get the site at least so it can work a little bit -- you're introducing more security flaws as you go along with it because you don't even check that code. I'm a little bit more skeptical now, and I would still definitely advise individuals to not use the website because it's definitely something that I don't believe is secure and neither did the four individuals that testified in front of Congress,' Kennedy said. 'I think there's some major security concerns there around privacy and information, and they haven't even come close to being addressed, and won't be in the short term.'"
Perfect. You see, they're not ever gonna fix this stuff. They can't, folks. They don't know how. This is not what they do and it's being proven each and every day. The bloom's off the Obama rose. I don't think he can come up with new words every day, tell a better story every day and change this. Because this is too real. On the one hand, you've got the soap opera type presentation of this, and on the other hand you got people signing up who really care about their health care. It is crucial to them. It is tremendously important and it's a mess now. Then you throw in what they were promised, and nothing is real anymore.
Health and Human Services is now saying the site's up 95% of the time. Big whoop. Up? What about functioning? "Up" means that you can just log into it. The industry standard in the private sector is for websites to be up 99.9% of the time. Anything below that's considered a failure. 95.1% in the private sector is a disaster. This is from an article about all of this. 95.1%'s a disaster. And it is. And they're trying to cover it up. And they're trying to mask it with new stories, new words, new assurances.
You know what they're doing? It's real simple. They're just saying it's fixed. That's all they're doing. Nothing's changed, really. They're just saying it's fixed. They got the media out there applauding, "Oh, right, it's fixed! They did it. It's up and running, and now will Obama be able to convince people who previously had doubts? Will our hero be able to escape the current role he's playing of villain. Can we help?" I don't know what you call it. They're just saying it's fixed. It isn't. It's more insecure than ever. It's as dysfunctional as ever. It's a Washington Examiner story, and I think we talked about it last week.
I may have even predicted that before it was all said and done they were just gonna say it's fixed and to hell with it, which is what they do, on the left. They just say things like, "It's fixed. It's your problem if it's not working. We're just gonna say it's fixed and move on. We're just gonna say the economy's roaring back and that's it. We're just gonna say jobs are being created left and right, and that's the story. And we're just gonna say that people are happy, and that's it. We're just gonna say it because we know we've got the media in our hip pocket. You prove that it isn't working," that kind of thing.
RUSH: By the way, David Kennedy, the Marine Corps cyberwarfare expert, he's a white hat hacker. He's the kind of guy that goes in and hacks websites to check their vulnerability, and then he reports to the owners where they are vulnerable. He does not exploit the hacks that he finds. That's who the guy is. And one of the things that he found is that the Obamacare site extracts a lot of information from visitors. You don't have to sign up. You don't even have to start filling out a form before they start collecting data on you just because you're logged in. This is being done purposefully. It is a security breakdown nightmare.
So the Regime's high-tech guys are coming out and saying, "Guess what? HealthCare.gov, our tech surge is gonna be complete by the end of November," and what this means is you better get ready because by the end of November they're gonna declare it fixed, whether it is or not. Those are my words from October 25th. I predicted to you back on October 25th what they were going to say, and they're saying it. "It's fixed! It's up and running. It's your problem." Let's go to the audio sound bites quickly, because at Fox News on Friday on The Five they discussed my theory that Obama is angling for single payer, the government totally socializing health care out of all of this.
ANDREA TANTAROS: Rush Limbaugh thinks Obama is secretly rooting for the current health care failures so he can offer a solution, a single-payer plan. So, is that so farfetched? Is that the end game all along? Bob, wasn't it their goal to get single-payer as part of Obamacare? There just wasn't enough Democratic votes when they were trying to push it through?
RUSH: Obama said so. He told his union buddies 10, 15 years, but single payer, by the way, it's not a great thing, folks. Single payer is the government running everything. Here's what Bob Beckel said in response.
BECKEL: No, remember, they wanted a public option to be able to compete in the insurance marketplace and the insurance industry went crazy and so they dropped it because of that. But the earlier thing that Obama said here was, before Obamacare, this was about the single-payer, that had always been something that a lot of us wanted. And when the Democrats took over both the House and the Senate and the White House, there was still a lot of hope you could push that through. And then it became increasingly clear the insurance companies were not going to allow that so they fell back into Obamacare.
RUSH: Next up, Brian Kilmeade.
KILMEADE: My feeling is there's no way President Obama has a master plan to collapse the system and only leaving the single-payer out. The same people that brought you that website and are so detached are not the same people that have a master plan.
RUSH: Okay, so what Kilmeade's saying is, no matter who they are, they're not competent enough to plan -- What Kilmeade means is, they did not mean for this level of disaster to happen. They may want single payer. They may want to totally socialize and control health care, but they didn't intend for all of this to happen. That they're not happy that all of this has happened, and he may have a point.
RUSH: Okay. So there's Obama. He's finally started. What is this, the 19,000th press conference on Obamacare? What on earth is he going to say that'll be different from what he's been saying about Obamacare for the last six years? There isn't anything new that he can say. This is just a continuation. They're calling it a rebranding effort. And the media, of course, is waiting with bated breath, excitement, suspense to hear what the hero is going to say next. Next maybe somebody's become a villain trying to recapture hero status. And it's all smoke and mirrors.

Vermont Weekend
We took a little weekend getaway to visit our friends Ben, Laurie and Grace in Barnard, VT. I wish I took more pictures! Their home is so quaint and nestled back on some pretty green land complete with a running creek. It's so lovely. They were nice enough to host our family as well as our good friends, the Heinzerling-Mintys. Saturday we went to the lake and the boys and Daddy camped outside on Sat. night in their spacious yard after smores, of course. Sunday was spent in Woodstock, VT. What an adorable town! But the best part of the weekend was simply our time hanging out at their house, watching the kids play, laughing, talking, listening to old records, & making and eating yummy food.

OSiM 2008: Linux Mobile Phones on the March Forward
The leading hardware and software vendors are currently meeting at the world's largest mobile-specific Open Source conference to network about the future of the industry. Linux Magazine Online is there to present news on the progress.
Yesterday in Berlin, the third annual OSiM World conference opened on the theme "Open Source in Mobile." In two tracks over two days, the discussion focused mainly on the strategic role of Linux as the basis for future mobile devices. High among the arguments is that Linux usage on mobile phones will multiply significantly over the next years. Apart from touting this obvious opportunity, the first day's presentations were largely concerned with the risk of technological fragmentation, or the feared proliferation of different systems that, in the end, can only cause woes for developers.
On the one hand is the LiMo Foundation with over 50 companies as members, from mobile phone vendors such as Samsung and Motorola, and chip manufacturers such as Marvell, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments, to carriers such as Vodafone, Orange and DoCoMO out of Japan. On the other hand are its competitors in the Open Handset Alliance that are concentrating on the new Android mobile phone platform driven by Google. As yet, there are no devices that support the Android platform, although a mobile phone from HTC should become available in the U.S. market around October. Interestingly, many Open Handset Alliance members have concurrent membership in LiMo.
The Moblin community also plays an active part, albeit their preference for the larger Internet Tablets or Mobile Internet Devices. A driving force behind Moblin is chip maker Intel. In the same market segment is the Maemo platform from Nokia that is pioneering the use of Linux for its N770 and N800 Internet Tablets.
The summations to the presentations were mixed, if not optimistic. Fragmentation was still a concern – much like Java for mobile devices – but there was a consensus that the problem should resolve itself with time. Developers who most suffer under these conditions are small, independent ones without sufficient resources to provide their software on multiple platforms.
Beside the more strategically directed presentations at the OSiM conference were a range of workshops where companies such as ACCESS, Google, Motorola and Intel could present themselves in the best light.

The Pinnacles (Western Australia)
The Pinnacles are limestone formations within Nambung National Park, near the town of Cervantes, Western Australia.[1]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (June 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The raw material for the limestone of the Pinnacles came from seashells in an earlier era that was rich in marine life. These shells were broken down into lime-rich sands that were blown inland to form high mobile dunes.[2] However, the manner in which such raw materials formed the Pinnacles is the subject of debate and three theories have been proposed.
The first theory states that they were formed as dissolutional remnants of the Tamala Limestone, i.e. that they formed as a result of a period of extensive solutional weathering (karstification). Focused solution initially formed small solutional depressions, mainly solution pipes, which were progressively enlarged over time, resulting in the pinnacle topography. Some pinnacles represent cemented void infills (microbialites and/or re-deposited sand), which are more resistant to erosion, but dissolution still played the final role in pinnacle development.[2][3]
A second theory states that they were formed through the preservation of tree casts buried in coastal aeolianites, where roots became groundwater conduits, resulting in the precipitation of indurated (hard) calcrete. Subsequent wind erosion of the aeolianite then exposed the calcrete pillars.[4]
A third proposal suggests that plants played an active role in the creation of the Pinnacles, based on the mechanism that formed smaller "root casts" in other parts of the world. As transpiration drew water through the soil to the roots, nutrients and other dissolved minerals flowed toward the root—a process termed "mass-flow" that can result in the accumulation of nutrients at the surface of the root, if the nutrients arrive in quantities greater than that needed for plant growth. In coastal aeolian sands that consist of large amounts of calcium (derived from marine shells), the movement of water to the roots would drive the flow of calcium to the root surface. This calcium accumulates at high concentrations around the roots and over time is converted into a calcrete. When the roots die, the space occupied by the root is subsequently also filled with a carbonate material derived from the calcium in the former tissue of the roots, and possibly also from water leaching through the structures. Although evidence has been provided for this mechanism in the formation of root casts in South Africa, evidence is still required for its role in the formation of the Pinnacles.[5]
The Pinnacles remained unknown to most Australians until 1967 when the area was gazetted as a reserve, which was later combined with two adjacent reserves to form Nambung National Park in 1994.[6] As of 2011, the national park received about 150,000 visitors a year. A visitor precinct and interpretive centre was opened in October 2008.[7]
The best season to see the Pinnacles is spring from August to October, as the days are mild and wildflowers start to bloom. The pinnacle formations are best viewed in the early morning or late afternoon as the play of light brings out the colours and the extended shadows of the formations delivers a contrast that brings out their features. Most animals in the park are nocturnal, but emus and kangaroos can be seen during the daytime, more commonly in the evening or early morning.
In popular culture[edit]
The Pinnacles were featured in Billy Connolly's World Tour of Australia at the climax of an episode, he dances around them in the nude echoing an Aboriginal creation story which relates to the Pinnacles. It was also featured in the musical number "Ye Jaan Le Le" in the 1997 Indian film, Daud, starring Sanjay Dutt and Urmila Matondkar.
Additionally, the music video for the song "Standing on the Shore" by Australian electropop duo Empire of the Sun, also featured The Pinnacles.
Several scenes in the 2009 Korean thriller movie A Million were filmed there.

'Buffy' Comic Gives Series a Second Life
Generally, fans greet the cancellation of their beloved shows with shock, anger and disbelief. A majority of the cast and crew have even more intense, but similar feelings as the shows that established their careers cease production, especially if the show is cancelled "before its time." No television mogul may be more familiar with these feelings than Joss Whedon.
A Different Shade of Green for 'Foxboro'
An initial look at the seemingly ancient, vinyl-looking album cover would seem to suggest that the Foxboro Hot Tubs is just another retro band trying to capitalize on the recent garage rock revival. But after hearing the first words of the album, a familiar voice comes to mind, one that is strikingly close to that of Billie Joe Armstrong. That's because it is Armstrong, none other than the frontman of Green Day.

'Indiana Jones' Back and Better With Age
Indiana Jones is back. It has been 19 years since the last film and the only real marks of change are some CGI-heavy scenes and cinematography that is ever so slightly slicker. It is just as fun and fast-paced as any of the older films. In fact, the story and action move so briskly that the two hours whiz by. The banter is still so playfully bitchy and the action sequences so exciting that it makes it impossible not to feel the same way you did when you first saw the original movies.
UC Irvine's Songfest 2008 kicked off its 30th anniversary last Thursday night with a dazzling showcase of Irvine Greeks on Broadway. On May 22, the Bren Events Center transformed into the Tony awards as each fraternity and sorority on campus performed individual renditions of hit musical shows such as "Wicked" or "Damn Yankees." Parents, students and alumni gathered together for a three-hour non-stop sequence of song and dance.

Automating the product derivation process of multi-agent systems product lines
Cirilo, Elder and Nunes, Ingrid and Kulesza, Uirá and Lucena, Carlos (2011) Automating the product derivation process of multi-agent systems product lines. Journal of Systems and Software . ISSN 0164-1212 (In Press)
Agent-oriented software engineering and software product lines are two promising software engineering techniques. Recent research work has been exploring their integration, namely multi-agent systems product lines (MAS-PLs), to promote reuse and variability management in the context of complex software systems. However, current product derivation approaches do not provide specific mechanisms to deal with MAS-PLs. This is essential because they typically encompass several concerns (e.g., trust, coordination, transaction, state persistence) that are constructed on the basis of heterogeneous technologies (e.g., object-oriented frameworks and platforms). In this paper, we propose the use of multi-level models to support the configuration knowledge specification and automatic product derivation of MAS-PLs. Our approach provides an agent-specific architecture model that uses abstractions and instantiation rules that are relevant to this application domain. In order to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach, we have implemented it as an extension of an existing product derivation tool, called GenArch. The approach has also been evaluated through the automatic instantiation of two MAS-PLs, demonstrating its potential and benefits to product derivation and configuration knowledge specification.

Omapodi (Plain Sev) - Ingredients
Recipe Category: Snack | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Besan flour - 1 cup
Rice flour(Idiyappam flour) - 1/4 cup
Butter - 1 tbsp (at room temperature)
Ajwain(Omam) - 1 tsp
Hot oil - 1 tsp
Salt - to taste
Oil - for deep frying
- Dry roast ajwain for 2 mins till nice aroma comes, then powder it(I used my hand mortar and pestle) - It is ok if its coarse as we will be filtering it. Add the ajwain powder to 2-3 tbsp of warm water and set aside for a while.Then filter it and keep aside.
- Sieve besan flour and rice flour and transfer this to a mixing bowl. Add the filtered ajwain water, hot oil, butter and required salt and mix it.
- Add water little by little to form a soft sticky dough. Take ur sev press and fill it till 3/4th.Meanwhile heat oil - To check if the oil is hot, pinch a small piece of dough and drop it in oil if it immediately comes to topthen the oil is ready.
- Press it in the preheated oil starting from the corners like a circle finishing it up in the middle. Once it is cooked on one side turn over to other side and cook till bubbles(shh sound) ceases. Repeat this process for the rest of the dough.
Chat recipes with Sev :
My Notes:
- Be very careful while adding water as the dough consistency is very important. Do not let the dough rest for more time as it will get dry and pressing will be very difficult.
- If it takes time then cover the dough with a wet cloth. Still if its difficult to press through, then sprinkle a little water to loosen the dough but very little.
- I used my idiyappam press as I like my sev to be very fine. You can either use a big hole press or small one as you like it.
- You get a big murukku kind while you take out it is very brittle so tends to break down to sev by itself.

How did we get to here?
We know so little of our past,
a few arrowheads, rock carvings or pictographs.
The history we're given is biased toward the victors of history, regardless of their ruthlessness, in achieving it.
We know that people have probably been around for over 50 000 years, and possibly much longer on Earth.
I think Darwin started the bidding at 10 000.
It's now up to 300 000 years.
I think it will go much further back, though.
Anyhow, there must have been a time in the past where, people started to gain control over nature, through fire, agriculture, the invention of the wheel, and began to thrive.
I have recently heard it said that early humans may have been more scavenger than predator.
Sure, it would be a lot easier to scare off the lion after it has done all the dirty work for you.
But it wouldn't take long before there was the idea of capturing and raising the deer for livestock, so you would no longer need to scare off the lion.
So I think that the first agriculture may have been livestock, and then crops, (probably to feed the livestock).
Of course, people had always let the lion do the slaughter for their meat. Now, with the birth of agriculture, they needed a person to do this task.
Now, I think, that I'm like most people in that I don't want to slaughter anything, and this, I think lead to the birth and original purpose of the psychopath.
Over time, psychopaths, banded together, and since they had no conscience, basically, by their own nature, with cunning and unrestrained ruthlessness, rose to the seat of power and control, in and over society, and have over-seen the rise and fall of every civilization that ever has been.
And this is still the case today.
purely logical speculation,

If you ignore all the pre-conceived notions provided by popular media, and just look at the facts, it sure appears like the world is run by butchers.

I forgot to point out that empathy for others is a natural instinct of most humans, and is necessary for the survival of all. Without compassion there would be no one to stand up for anyone, if it was not pragmatic.
We are the furthest thing from cogs in the wheel of the machine. There is no compassion between cogs in a machine. The machine belongs to each one of us, we do not belong to the "owners" of the machine.
...but the owners of that machine want us to see it that way, so we will be that way, not for their machine but for them.
hmm, that was easier to write then read,

I think that right now and the years ahead is another time where, people will gain control over nature, with free-energy. Another paradigm shift is about to occur and our biggest piece of evidence that free-energy exists lies in the events of 9/11.
What you are eluding to is the idea that 'psychopaths' are apart of our human nature, this is where i disagree. Our DNA was hijacked long ago and we can see evidence of this in the evil that is underlying in our society.

If this is so, we have already lost the battle.
If this isn't so, and we believe it,
without some sort of conclusive evidence,
we have already lost the battle.
I am just putting forth, a plausible explanation, for the reasons for our current situation, that is outside of the realm of superstition and myth.
The idea that we were originally vegetarian,
is, I believe a myth.
Because, if we were, a long time ago, vegetarian, we would have been wiped out with the loss of one growing season for whatever natural, catastrophic reason.
Therefore, I figure, we were always omnivorous.
Could we have been, before that, genetically altered this way, by superior(?) beings, in the past? Perhaps.
But even if we were, we still must have been designed, omnivorous, to be here, today.
I guess, the real question is, do you think that we were originally, built and designed by the ancestors of ones, ruling over us, today?

This planet has been around, geologically for a very long time.
It doesn't take much artistic imagination, to see that all the continents,
fit together, too perfectly, on a smaller globe, for any other
explanation, than the Earth must have almost doubled
it size since the pieces fit.
But that was long ago, our ancestors back then, on a smaller Earth,
would have been physically quite different from modern humans, as gravity and surface terrain, climate, and critters must have been quite different.
With less gravity on a smaller Earth,
our ancestors may have been bigger than modern man.
In fact, generally the relative size of many lifeforms have been shrinking on this planet.
I'm talking about the time, before the ages were even observed,
when our ancestors were first beginning to realize their abilities of
greater power over nature.
How must have we developed,
to get into this apparent mess,
we are in today?
And what can each of us do,
in our own unique ways, to veer
the direction of this guided
and planned, destructive path,
so many are still blindly lead,
and following.

Imagine, having to look after a herd animal, that could not be fenced, physically, because it was too clever, and would escape.
If one, could convince the herd animal that it was already free, it would never know to even, try to escape.
How to do this;
has already been re-searched,
how to implement this;
has already been tried,
any possible mistakes;
have all been considered,
and the future is planned.
But, there is a chance, that the herd could alert, and the invisible, non-existent fence would be seen for what it is.
And something could happen, that has never happened, ever, in the past, the herd would see themselves as individuals, that can live much more fully and easily as independent entities, pursuing, their each and own interests, without having to pay, by force, with their blood, sweat, and tears, for the whims of a dominant few.

My pet peeve right now.
Yes, I know we shouldn't pollute. But we're being polluted, with our food, through gmos and pesticides, our water with chemical additives, the air with heavy metals. But we should still recycle, and so, we're told.
Any how, the local municipality has , for more than a year or so had a re-cycling day about once a month. Where every household collects all their re-recyclables, and puts it in a clear garbage bag, out with the trash.
So far, this sounds good, and most everyone started doing it. They would take all their re-cycling, over the month, and store it outside in a shed, or something, to keep it out of the way until pick up day.
Most of the household, re-cycling consisted of empty milk jugs, pizza boxes, and food packaging, and although everybody was asked to rinse their milk jugs, there really is no way to keep all food remnants out of the re-cycling.
Yes, now there has been an outbreak of rats in the neighbourhood. ...And nobody knows why...
Now, I have only seen a couple, but I guess that's all they need if they got a year round supply of food. The neighbour says he has trapped nine, so far. Curious that that was, after the newspaper article written by a real estate agent just recently saying the rat problem was over. I don't think it is. , but I'm not sure if it ever was a problem.
It also looks like the rats have learned to set off the trap, somehow, and then take the bait. A few rats have been found with a bonk in the head several feet from the sprung trap, not in it.
I was cleaning up an old compost pile last year, in the spring, when I ran across an old rat nest. It was full of emptied walnut and snail shells. This would explain the same neighbors complaint about there being an over whelming number of snails last summer, in their garden.
I know there is a rat living near my wood shed. I know it's too smart to trap, and in a way, I sort of feel sorry for it.
...So, I have been feeding it frosted corn flakes.
It seems to like them ...and it no longer attacks me in the night.

When we are conceived,
we become are dependent on the womb, to grow,
we become independent of that, once born.
When we are a baby, we are dependent on our mother,
to grow. We become independent of that,
once we can move around and feed ourselves.
As we grow up, we are dependent on the family,
for our needs and understanding of the world,
we become more independent from that,
when we leave home.
Our whole existence is change from dependency to independent.
To move toward interdependence,
which is just another word for dependents,
is backwards and contradictory
to the direction of life.

I'm not sure if someone else has pondered this, already before...
But I was thinking,
that the part of each one of us,
that we call our(self), the "I" in us all,
that we refer to our self, by,
...is the same single self.
We think of ourselves as individuals, but are limited and opinionated by
our own personal experiences, separate from each other,
but we all have an "I" that experiences,
the events and conditions, that make up our own character,
and cause our thoughts, actions, or inaction.
What if that was really the same "I" in all of us?
"Being true to yourself",
would take on a much deeper meaning.
Everyone, right or wrong, would be a construct of the "I"s
personal life experiences, in that particular physical being.
"I am he,
as you are he,
as you are me,
and we are altogether
goo goo gdjoob!"

Here yo go:
9:31am - lunk: I'm still getting my head around the idea that, we are all the same "I".
9:33am - lunk: ...for me, to experience something, I need the experience. But WHO is experiencing this?
9:34am - lunk: I am.
9:34am - lunk: For you to experience something, you need the experience.
9:35am - lunk: But what in "you" is experiencing it?
9:36am - lunk: Your "I".
9:37am - lunk: In other words, your "I" and my "I" are the experienceors.
9:37am - lunk: -------------------------------------------------------------------------
9:38am - lunk: What if they were the same, not just with me and you, but everyone?
9:42am - lunk: This "I", that we call our self, is the same, in everyone, then the only thing that makes us different from each other is our experiences.
9:43am - lunk: What is it that each of us hold dear?
9:43am - lunk: deer?
9:44am - lunk: dear
9:45am - lunk: It is what we concieve as our own personal "I".
9:45am - lunk: But it is the same thing.
9:45am - lunk: with each and everyone of us.
9:46am - lunk: For something to be experienced, it needs an experiencor.
9:47am - lunk: These are two separate things, the experience and the experiencor.
9:47am - lunk: The experience is unique, with every individual.
9:48am - lunk: ...but what if the experiencor is the same in each?
9:48am - lunk: of us?
10:02am - lunk: You see, there is an infinite number of experience, but there only needs to be ONE experiencor.
10:03am - lunk: The common mistake is to associate yourself with your own experiences.
10:03am - lunk: When it's the other way around.
10:05am - lunk: Yourself is the experienceor, of its' experiences.
10:05am - lunk: Myself is the experienceor of my experiences.
10:07am - lunk: Experience, may,(and probably) will be diferent for each of us.
10:07am - lunk: ...But what if the experienceor, is the same?
10:08am - lunk: experienceor: new lunk word.
10:09am - lunk: I am the experienceor, you are the experienceor.
10:10am - lunk: it's the same thing.
10:10am - lunk: experiencing.
10:11am - lunk: Only the experience are differant.
10:12am - lunk: different.
10:12am - lunk: the "I" remains the same.
10:13am - lunk: -----------------------------------
10:16am - lunk: Our own, personal experiences are experineced, by the same "I".
10:17am - lunk: ...however different.
10:18am - lunk: different.
10:18am - lunk: I don't know.
10:18am - lunk: -------------------
10:19am - lunk: It is the sound that counts.
10:19am - lunk: --------------------------------
10:20am - lunk: I guess, the thing that keeps us apart is the idea that we are the result of our experiences.
10:21am - lunk: When it is really the other way around.
10:22am - lunk: ---------------------------------------------------
10:26am - lunk: The song remains the same.
10:26am - lunk: --------------------------------------
10:27am - lunk: Now, I have to put this into a post, that is comprehensible.

That took over an hour, for me to figure this out.
Strange, but what is expected from the thinking of lunk...
It is strange, but if true,
the "I" remains the same.
Our experiences and conclusions are all experienced by the same "I".
I would now, like to take the opportunity to say, "HELLO."
(BTW, that's "walrus" backwards.)

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
Comprehensive Description
Black Mangrove (Avicennia germinans) has a broad tropical distribution. Avicennia includes about 15 species, mostly restricted to coastal tidal regions in the tropics (Elias 1980). Tree and shrub species are described as mangroves based on their ecology rather than evolutionary relatedness, so mangrove species represent numerous plant families.
Black Mangrove groves are virtually impenetrable because of the dense branches. The trees produce numerous upright, unbranched roots (pneumatophores) above water and around the edges of the trees to provide the extensive root system with air. These pneumatophores also trap detritus brought in by the tides. (Elias 1980)

At least 12 people were injured in violent clashes between two groups of Sikhs at the Golden Temple, the minority community's holiest shrine, in the northern Indian state of Punjab's Amritsar town on the 30th anniversary of Operation Bluestar Friday, a police officer said.
The Operation Bluestar was an Indian military operation in 1984, ordered by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in order to establish control over the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, which was taken over by armed Sikh separatists. Gandhi was later that year assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards.
"The clashes this morning followed an altercation that happened between the two groups during a ceremony organized to mark the anniversary of Operation Bluestar. While the leader of one group wanted to make an address, the other group objected to it, leading to the violence," the officer said. All the 12 injured have been admitted to a local hospital, he said, on condition of anonymity.
"The situation is under control now. A huge contingent of security forces has been deployed in the area," the officer added. New Delhi, June 6 (Xinhua)

Margie Hamilton has been battling several medical conditions for many years. They have caused her a great deal of suffering and interfered with her hobbies and life. Margie's family needs help paying for her medical bills and trips to the Mayo Clinic.
The two most important things in Margie Hamilton's life are her family and God. She married her high school sweetheart, Mike, and they have one son. Margie enjoys going to church and spending time with friends and family, but those activities have become increasingly difficult due to her many health problems. The recent loss of her husband, who unexpectedly died December 3, 2013 after suffering a heart attack, now adds to Margie's pain.
Margie has been battling serious health issues for twenty years. In 1993, she went to the doctor for chest pain caused by arrhythmia. After three surgeries—two ablations and a pacemaker—Margie has lived with recurring pericarditis. To correct this, her doctors inserted a pericardial window to help drain fluid. Today, Margie's pacemaker is no longer able to track every beat like it should. In October 2013, she underwent an ablation procedure to fix this.
In addition to her heart problems, Margie suffers with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). MCTD is an autoimmune disease in which the body's defense system attacks itself. Organs such as the lungs, heart, and kidneys may be affected. For Margie, MCTD has already affected her heart, joints, lungs, and now her kidneys. She's had part of her right lung removed and part of her stomach. Margie is also fighting non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, cancer of the lymph tissue, and undergoing chemotherapy treatments. For Mike, seeing his wife battle so many health issues was most devastating.
Margie's treatments leave her feeling very weak. "I have no energy," she said, "a little chore seems like a huge task for me to get done." Throughout all her struggles, Mike was a constant support for Margie. He did everything he could to make her feel better. Lafe Riggs referees basketball with Mike, which is what Mike was doing the night he passed away. "The little extra money he made from refereeing went to Margie's treatments," said Lafe, "He was always there for her." In fact, every three months Mike would travel 13 hours from their home in Marion, Kentucky to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota with Margie for her treatments. These trips are very expensive, yet necessary for Margie's care. The couple started this project together. Meeting their goal of $10,000 would help Margie focus less on bills and more on getting well and holding her family close through this difficult time. Margie is hopeful about the outcome of this project. "It would be a blessing to my whole family," she said. Let's help Margie with her trips to Mayo so she can get the treatments she needs to win her battles, in loving memory of her steadfast husband Mike.

Ive been breastfeeding my newborn for a little over 2 weeks. Ive been feeling weak and have a low grade fever of 100.1. I took some motrin and feel a little better. I do have nipple pinkness/pain when baby latches on (not when hes eating) could this be because of the nipple pain???? I also have been going a little crazy with a toddler home as well (18 months).
Also, this question is really different. My baby boy lies facing me completely with his eyes looking straight into my breast (this position works well for us). My lc told me to not do the C hold but hold the breast vertically. Does that work with the position I mentioned above? (She said this would help with the pain)And, I thought the baby was supposed to look into your eyes, my baby doesnt look at my face much when hes not eating and I didnt know if that position was keeping him from progressing with eye development (laying horizontally) any info appreciated. Thank You Karen (sore mama in CT)

Check out what some of our happy customers had to say about their experience at ANZ Stadium.
'Congratulations on offering such a unique and fun-filled team building experience. I know we will have difficulty in ever trying to match the success of Team Cuisine'. - Toshiba
'Team Cuisine is so refreshing and completely different to anything we'd ever done as a group before. It was fun, highly entertaining and a terrific way to build team spirit in quite an unconventional way – along with learning cooking skills that were way beyond our expectations'. - Network Ten
'It really was too fun, and before we knew it we'd produced a "fantabulous" dessert, part of a grand sit down experience. And little did we know but we were bridging gaps and broadening our existing relationships. Thanks for a truly superb experience!'- Sydney Convention and Visitors Bureau
'Without a doubt, the team and staff at the ANZ Stadium delivered a service second to none. From the moment we arrived to set-up to the very end of the event, they were on hand to provided any assistance we requried. Throughout the event itself, they were extremly helpful, friendly and very approachable. Our delegates were very happy, as even they were met with only smiles and helpful people. Thank you so much to the entire team from providing and amazing experience and service'. - Panasonic
'I would like to personally thank ANZ Stadium for hosting CBA at your venue, and would also like to compliment the business culture of your staff. Our staff complimented the cuisine, the beverages and the overall attentiveness of the catering staff on the evening. There was no point during the evening where I had to chase up anything – a real testament to Ash (the supervisor) and how he briefed his team before the event commenced. I could not believe that 1,000 people were attended to so personally and professionally – absolutely brilliant…. Compliments to the Executive Chef – our taste pallets are still reminiscing on the amazing cuisine that was on offer! On behalf of CBA, once again we would like to thank the team for making our event so memorable and we will be sure to recommend ANZ stadium to our peers, friends and families for any of our future endeavours.We look forward to working with you again in the near future!' - Commonwealth Bank of Australia
