Warrant issued for ex-sheriff
Jim Gillum is charged with passing a bad check to pay rent on a house.
By THOMAS LAKE
Published May 17, 2007
PORT RICHEY -- Ten months ago, as he faced his third eviction, former Sheriff Jim Gillum said he wanted to disappear.
"In the very near future," he told a reporter, "I will become invisible."
He has, at least temporarily.
And now the very deputies who once served at his pleasure have been commanded to take him to jail.
Gillum, the hard-charging sheriff of Pasco County from 1984 to 1992, became a wanted man April 25 when County Judge Candy VanDercar signed a warrant for his arrest.
The charge: issuing a worthless check, a first-degree misdemeanor.
This is what happened. About a year ago, when Gillum and his third wife and several children moved into a house on Laurel Vista Loop in Orchid Lake, he wrote a $1,200 rent check to Lisa Egan, the landlord.
"They got in that house on that bad check," Egan told the St. Petersburg Times.
The family stayed there about three months, as Egan worked through the eviction process, and when they left, Egan said, she found it a wreck: cat urine on the carpet, maggots in the garage. She estimated the ordeal cost her $5,000; she said Gillum was the worst tenant she ever had.
On March 26, the State Attorney's Office filed the bad-check charge. Gillum was supposed to get a court summons for an April 19 arraignment. But the electronic docket says it was returned unserved. Apparently it had been mailed to an outdated address. Gillum missed the court date, and the judge issued a warrant for his arrest.
Doug Tobin, a spokesman for current Sheriff Bob White, would neither confirm nor deny that deputies are looking for Gillum, 63. It was not clear whether Gillum knew of the warrant.
The Times searched for him Wednesday afternoon but did not find him. At a possible address on Yucca Drive in New Port Richey, a reporter encountered two neighbor boys who said Gillum and his family had been there as recently as two months ago.
The living room was full of broken furniture. A plateless old minivan sat in the driveway. Bushes grew wild.
The boys, both 12, said they were friends with some of Gillum's children.
"The power and the water got shut off, so he moved out," said John Chiarella, who was wearing a Slipknot T-shirt. "Really sad."
They were not sure where the family had gone.
"All we know," said Jeffrey Dennis, "is he left and never came back."

In a time when U.S. journalism too often feels dominated by infotainment on television and blog/opinion pseudo-news in print and on the internet, it is sad to see instances of real journalism, seeking to act as a check on corruption in the public sphere, being suppressed by that very corruption. But such has been the case, recently, in Ferguson, Mo.
In the wake of the death of the unarmed teenager Michael Brown, shot by Ferguson police (according to witnesses with his arms raised in the air), protests and riots have erupted in the suburb.
In the midst of this, many reporters gathered to cover the story. On Wednesday, however, two reporters would become the story. Wesley Lowrey of the Washington Post and Ryan Reilly of the Huffington Post were arrested while they were taking advantage of the free WiFi at a local McDonald's. Lowrey tells his story: (more…)

Born February 26, 1924 – Died May 12, 2012
We mourn the loss of Gordon B. "Budd" Van Roekel - Santa Ana, California. In 1949, Budd Van Roekel left employment with the Edison Company at age 23 to open a small rink in Santa Ana, California. He joined the Roller Skating Rink Operators Association in 1952, and helped to develop the California State Chapter of rink operators that grew to be the largest Chapter in the RSROA. Van Roekel was chosen as national RSROA President in five separate elections, spread over two decades. He was named a Life Member of the RSROA in 1974, and in 1984 was elected by the RSROA Board to the Roller Skating Industry Hall of Fame.
Budd Van Roekel has spent the majority of his long life directing the growth and development of roller skating in the United States. In September of 1982 he was named President of the Federation International de Roller Sports, a move that transferred the FIRS headquarters from Europe to the United States for the first time. Van Roekel was re-elected to a second four year term as the President of FIRS in 1986. Van Roekel is the only American to have served as FIRS President. It was during his second term as FIRS President that roller hockey was accepted by the IOC as a Demonstration Sport for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.
He was a founding member in 1973 of the United States Confederation of Amateur Roller Skating (USAC/RS), now USA Roller Sports. He served on its Board of Directors for more than 30 years, becoming its Treasurer and a member of its Executive Committee. Van Roekel felt an obligation to put something back into a sport that had been so good to him as a rink owner.
Many will remember the spacious and innovative Skate Ranch rink in Santa Ana, California, which featured a western motif throughout. The Skate Ranch speed skating club produced dozens of national champions over two decades, as well as his rink becoming a focal point for artistic skating in Southern California. With the sale of his rinks, after a brief retirement, he went on to create from the ground up two award winning California wineries that are enjoying great commercial success.
Budd has been a continuous member of the US Foundation of Amateur Roller Skating that administers the Olympic funds accrued from the 1984 Olympic Games and has been an active member of its investment committee.
He has been a substantial benefactor for the National Museum of Roller Skating, not only as the RSROA Finance Committee Chairman when the Committee approved its start-up costs and maintenance of the exhibits at the RSROA headquarters, but also providing his own personal funds for some of its larger acquisitions.
In 1975, he was a prime mover in securing first time Pan American Games participation for roller skating by going to Mexico City's Pan American Games. These many services by Gordon B. Van Roekel were acknowledged by his installation in 1995 in the USA Roller Sports Distinguished Service Hall of Fame and in 1997 he was made a Life Member of USARS. Budd will be missed by those who knew and loved him.

It seems like i always have a 5 o'clock shadow. Even after i shave. Am i not getting a close enough shave? I use a mach 3 razor right now and shave every morning.
Do i need to moisturize my skin or clean it better? Maybe get some after shave lotion?
I guess what it really comes down to is when most men shave they have a smooth clean shave. Where there is no remnants of facial hair. At least for a certain time frame. For me, after i shave i still have remnants of a 5 o'clock shadow.
Any advice or tricks of the trade to get a real close shave?

Great Live Moments - Michael White and The Original Liberty Jazz Band
April 23, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: alto horn, any given saturday, associate curator, bourbon street parade, creole musicians, field producer, fig jam, history of new orleans, hogan jazz archive, Jazz Alive, jazz musician, Listening Post, Live Music, louis armstrong, new orleans jazz, new orleans music, onward brass band, paul barbarin, street parades, toast of the nation, traditional brass, village vanguard, wwoz
Meet Paul Barbarin, one of the most important people in the history of New Orleans music, and the "how" we call jazz.
The Barbarin family constitutes one of the original lines of Creole musicians who were present at the creation of a new music. Paul's father, Isidore, played the alto horn in The Onward Brass Band, one of the early traditional brass bands in the city.
Before I moved to New York, I used to work at WWOZ in New Orleans. I started as a volunteer, operating the board for a woman named Betty Rankin. Every Saturday morning, while most people my age had hangovers from Friday night, I was in a tiny peach-colored building in Louis Armstrong Park, playing LPs, cassettes, and the occasional CD for a lady who wanted no business with those details. She spent her ninety minutes as "Big Mama," the host of "The Moldy Fig Jam." I was 22, and this was the most amazing radio I had ever heard in my life. She told stories about every jazz musician in the city who had ever picked up an instrument with the purpose of playing traditional New Orleans jazz.
As it happened, Big Mama was an associate curator of the Hogan Jazz Archive. She handled the extensive oral history of New Orleans' music, and she knew both the collection as well as the musicians' whose lives she had helped to document. On any given Saturday, she talked about Paul Barbarin as if he were in the studio with us. It was the beginning of my post-college, real world education. On one such occasion, it was the first time I had ever heard his song, "Bourbon Street Parade." She told her audience about the street parades, how Barbarin kept that tradition alive. In the 1960s, he revived the Onward Brass Band, the name of the group that his father played a part. In fact, Paul Barbarin died in a parade, leading the band. [While I'm no fan of death, that's a great way to shuffle off this mortal coil.]
Years later, on the cusp of 2002, I was the field producer for NPR's Toast of the Nation. We're at the Village Vanguard, with Michael White and The Original Liberty Jazz Band. Hear them play "Bourbon Street Parade" from that evening.
When I hear this song, I remember how I got this far into jazz. Because I live with music.
PS Watch the video of Paul Barbarin's funeral. The musicians are playing "Just a Closer Walk With Thee."
Watching that is knowing why New Orleans matters. Onward.

It's all about controls.
Your motorcycle is a precise machine that reacts to the slightest input from you, the rider. Why not make it more comfortable while tailoring it to your riding style and position? We've got everything you need to make your bike fit you perfectly.
Motorycle clip-ons and levers.
Your hands control 90% of your bike, so you'll want the very best when it comes to adjustable levers and bars, whether you're just replacing a bent or broken lever or upgrading to an aftermarket piece of CNC machined, fully adjustable kit that will last as long as your bike and look awesome doing it. Starting with motorcycle levers, why not upgrade to adjustable units from ASV Levers or CRG Levers? Both brands make levers with adjustable throw, so you can customize where the levers sit to suit your preference, or adjust them out as your pads start to wear down from the heat of repeated braking on the track. The levers are made specifically for your bike and come in a handful of colors as well as having full faculty warranties against defects.
If you're looking for motorcycle clip-ons to replace your OEM units with adjustable items, we have a great selection like the like Woodcraft Clip-Ons and Vortex Racing Clip-Ons. Both feature CNC machined fork clamps and replaceable bars just in case one gets bent. They are also significantly lighter and stronger than stock as well! Be sure to measure your fork tubes before your order, just to make sure you get the correct size clamp.
While you're at it, you may as well get some new Motorcycle Grips, right? we have a range of grips, from the soft and grippy Pro Grip Superbike grips, which come in a range of colors, up to the Driven Racing D3 Grips, which are a 2-ply grip designed to prevent vibration, hand fatigue and arm pump. We also have Renthal Grip Glue to keep them secure on your new clip-ons.
Looking to replace a broken cable as well? Look no further than our Motion Pro section to find the perfect fit.
Motorcycle Rearsets and pegs.
Are your stock foot controls leaving something to be desired? Maybe they're just not comfortable? Most aftermarket rearsets, like the Woodcraft Complete Rearset Kit are designed to position your feet a little higher up and a little farther back, while a handful offer full adjustment by simply positioning the mounting bolts differently, as seen on the Vortex Adjustable V2 Rearset. The benefit of having positioning like that is to bring your feet up a bit so you can lean farther into the corners, while also making getting your knee down far easier. Also, no two people are the same, so having the added adjustment is a huge reason to make this your next purchase.
If you like your motorcycle rearset position, but the stock footpegs aren't cutting it, we have Yana Shiki aluminum footpegs in a wide range of colors for $50 a pair, along with others like Competition Werkes Footpegs and BikeMaster Footpegs.
Prevent tank slappers with a steering damper.
Have you ever experienced a tank slapper? It's a terrifying thing, especially if you can't save it. How can you avoid it? Well, the simplest way is with a Motorcycle Steering damper from MotoSport. Basically, the steering damper acts like a shock absorber for your steering, but instead of damping the up/down motion of your forks or rear shock, this helps out with side-to-side motion, thus virtually eliminating head-shake, or at least taming it to the point where you can easily stop it from happening. We have triple-tree mounted versions like the Scotts Performance Steering Damper and GPR V4 Steering Stabilizer, or the mount anywhere version from renowned experts Ohlins suspension. Check them out, read the reviews and make your choice!

Being / Speaking of Faith has presented many phenomenal
Being / Speaking of Faith has presented many phenomenal shows with thoughts and ideas rarely heard elsewhere, and this show is one of the best of all.

Fascinating interview that I want to listen to more than
Fascinating interview that I want to listen to more than once. One thing I did not hear in Mr. Atran's vocabulary was "corporate economics." He is astute on political "buggy whips" and modes of thought, but I would ask him how the increasingly interconnected world that excites him will overcome large interests that wish to bend the technology to their profit, and that view all social media as modes of marketing to a broader consumer base desiring the same old things, rather than to a deeper matrix of thought and vision of the new.

I think that Scot Astra has a good idea about violence
I think that Scot Astra has a good idea about violence actually creating more violence rather than stopping it and that the thing to do is to change others minds and often times those who are angry or who appear angry may have actually justifiably good reasons to be and just need someone to listen to them and actually hear them and get to the root of what the problem is and do something, anything to actually help them in a way that can change that for them on any personal level. In this world that we live in of stress and fear it is so easy to lose hope, to want to give up, to begin not to care, to say things we do not mean, to think differently than others according to our own perspectives. I wish I could know this man because I think he could also help me to be able to work on my own message that open communicatons and dialogs are the only way to get any thing to change, and when we take that away, then we lose it all. We cannot fix what we cannot talk about in any diplomatic way. We as a society find so many ways to take that ability away from people, and so the truths are never really known. We do have big lobbiest groups and interests like medical groups and NAMI that affect the way our country thinks or does not think. It goes further than the internet, it is mass produced through every form of media including the internet which is simply another form of it. Scot is right though and he is on target, I see where he could broaden it and maybe help to make some real and needed changes in our country. Even if I may not agree with everything he has to say I think what he has to say is worth hearing, and I think it could be useful, so I wanted to thank you and him for your program.

New NCAA rule must be approved
It falls into the "what took so long?" category. The NCAA is considering a new rule to suspend a player who delivers a blow to the head of a defenseless opponent in addition to the current 15-yard penalty now handed the offending team.
If the penalty occurs in the first half, the offending player would be ejected for the rest of the game. If it comes in the second half or overtime, the player is kicked out for the remainder of the game and the first half of the next game.
The NCAA Football Rules Committee approved the new rule. Now, it's up to the Playing Rules Oversight Panel to make a final determination next month.
Why the NCAA committee didn't just consider suspending a player who hits someone above the shoulders for the rest of that game and one full game afterwards to strengthen the rule is beyond me.
But this proposal is a start.
It has been reported 99 targeting penalties were called in the Football Bowl Subdivision last season that under the new rule would have resulted in an ejection.
Many of those illegal hits resulted in a concussion or other injuries that cost players considerable playing time.
Of course, game officials might be on the spot even more in determining whether the offending hit warrants a suspension under the new rule. Plays happen in a second or two and sometimes, it's difficult to determine the severity – or intention – of the hit.
Apparently, the NCAA would allow the ejection penalty to be reviewed through video replay. The replay official would have to have conclusive evidence the penalized player didn't intentionally target a defenseless player for the penalty to be overturned.
In the NFL, the same situation often leads to an offending player being fined for a dangerous hit. But what's a $25,000 or $50,000 fine to a pro player making millions?
An immediate ejection and subsequent suspension might be more of a deterrent, even if it's the player's first such offense.
Blows to the head and the concussions that often result are being taken seriously by the NCAA and the NFL.
It has taken far too long for both entities to see the light, but at least some baby steps are being taken to change the culture of players striking a blow to the head of defenseless opponents.
The NCAA's Playing Rules Oversight Panel should adopt the new rule next month without any debate. Unless it wants to amend the rule and strengthen the ejection to include a full game suspension.
That might make even more of an impact.

Skip to comments.Question for Automotive/Engineering Wizards. Car Computers
Posted on 11/24/2012 6:24:43 PM PST by Chickensoup
So, I am looking at a new car. Perhaps the VW diesel. I drive the car and find that I am staring at computer screens. The car must have a full pc under the hood. I am told now that most do.
And I understand that for some reason beyond my understanding the cars now have wifi.
When I purchase a computer I get in there and disable, uninstall and delete items I dont use like games extra os and tools I wont use.
So how do I turn off the garbage that is extra on a new car? Like Wifi? I certainly do not want my car broadcasting anything to the world?
What are people doing out there with these new cars?
Insight would be appreciated.

LOL.....technology shock; that's all you are experiencing if you haven't bought a car in a while. Don't let the gadgetry intimidate you. Much of it is highly useful; some of it....not so much. Well designed cars have such systems with a wealth of information. Others....again, not so much. GPS, satellite radio, backup cameras....all nice. Bluetooth so you can pair your phone (use hands free), etc....not bad, but I don't use that. Just know there's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it it's really not that bad.
What it really means is the nail in the coffin of the shade tree mechanic.
The Wi-Fi is very likely a subscription service, requiring active participation on your part. For example, the car could connect to your smartphone via bluetooth and then serve as a Wi-Fi hotspot. This would require you to actively connect and permit this connection via your smartphone.
What bothers me, to no small degree - is this opens your car to a variety of malicious attacks. A car hacker could potentially create a virus that would propagate through the Wi-FI, and infect other cars. If your car's network is connected to the security system, or the engine/transmission controllers - a malicious hacker could cause your car to shut down, or could hack into the Wi-Fi and set it to unlock with his personal fob - thereby bypassing your key and locking system.
This whole idea of incorporating wireless connectivity and merging this network into an automobile is wrought with peril.
Some ideas are neat; for example the idea of purchasing "Upgrades" via software for your car/transmission (say, winter driving transmission settings dictated by season, exterior temperature, local weather road reports and GPS position) are very neat. But the question I do not know the answer to, is how well is the individual car protected from malicious software. Could a malicious hacker cause your engine to go to full power, the transmission to lock in drive, and lock your steering wheel? Essentially turning your car in to a ballistic weapon? I simply don't know.
I hear what you are saying about the attacks. But from what I understand there is a wifi component already in place. i would want that off!
I INSISTED that our new SUV come with all that stuff, or we weren't buying. The one we were looking at didn't have the 'computer' on board. I had them order/install one(for like $3,000). Backup cam still shows on the mirror though.(prefer it there anyway). The SUV we were trading in had all those features, and there was no way in hell I was gonna buy another one without them. I don't use the Bluetooth either. I can see how it would be nice for those who would though.
You're talking about Autonet Mobile. The car does not come with wifi just wifi capability, unless there is a free trial period like for instance with XM Satellite radio. You'd have to subscribe.
For us, we are ignoring them. For the same reasons we ignore all the airhead smartphone crap. Fashion statements for the pierced generation.
My ten year old Subaru has a digital clock. That is as far as it needs to go. I do fiddle with the engine CPU for more power of course..............
You have a turbo or nonturbo? Those Cobb AccessPort ECM modules are nice, five programs, switchable pretty much on the fly if the gas in your tank is up to it, from economy mode on regular unleaded with turbo boost disabled up to I believe 325 hp on 110 octane racing gas. You'd need a catback exhaust to make the most of it, Subaru boxer engines sound good with the right catback. I've got an 07 Legacy GT Limted wagon, it's a fun and practical car. Friends on ski patrol had them in college, I liked them but it never entered my mind to buy one until this car.
For example,my car has a feature...which was optional and I *very* much wanted...that fully applies the brakes when sensors in the front of the car detect that a collision is imminent.
Reality is, big power in Hawaii is not of much use anyway, other than embarrassing Harley clowns..........
There was a period in the early-mid 2000's when the usually very competent Subaru engineers inadvertantly blew a lot of turbos, good thing you dumped the up-pipe cat, as they age you can suck chunks of it into the turbo, boom.
Mine is largely stock barring the mods described, daily driver, just wanted to smooth it out and get the most out of the engine and turbo without making a beast of it. Exterior appearance is dead stock, factory 18" rims, low profile Contis. No suspension mods, I actually enjoy the cushiness of the soft bushings while still being well planted to the road, it's an almost French approach to a car suspension, lol. It can get a little roly-poly at high speed (meaning very extralegal) but I have no need and little occasion so that's OK.
I have seen this before:
If the wifi bugs you get the electrical manual and ground out the antenna leads with a jumper wire...its easy to break hi tech with lo tech
A lot to be said for starting with 2.5l and all that torque rather than wringing the neck of a 2.0l. Too many horror stories about blown transmissions, pistons, bearings. Yet another reason I am staying at my boost level. Think Subaru learned a lot from the early 2.0l cars, maybe why the STI showed up as a 2.5l from the start.
A STI would be great fun, though where I am now, a Jeep 4WD would be more useful as a plaything to go explore roads I dare not take the WRX, AWD or not. Of course the wife would never let her 4Runner touch rocks or dirt, and it is 2WD to boot.
I've been keeping an eye out for a distress sale for a 2.5 version of one of these,
Sort of a pipe dream for that sort of toy unless and until the economy turns around and I can start my business back up though. I honestly don't see it happening any time soon.
Wouldn't a turbo 2.5 be stupid fast in that light of a car, lol?
:-) my business is built around selling all that equipment for reprogramming & diagnostics. Including the Tactrix and the AccessPort items mentioned in the thread. Very neat stuff
Another brilliant manufacturer offers "on the fly" firmware updates over the air. Really cool when your car starts an update in the middle of the night when you're driving across the desert. Somebody forgot to check to see if the vehicle was being operated before doing the upgrade.
You're about to enter a whole new world have having bad guys trying to hack your car as well as incompetent manufacturers dropping bad updates on your very expensive new toy.

Thank you. I just dont want a broadcasting car.
That is my question. How do I turn that capability off. How would they do it? Would the car be broadcasting?
I agree with you, but I need to have a high MPG car. I have been looking at SAABS although a small mercedes diesel woudl be a great backup.
The real question is can you buy a car specifically asking that this stuff not be installed.
Do the "Base" modles come with out it.
I had to do a special order on my 2008 Dodge Ram 4500 dump to get manual locks, manual windows, a 6 speed manual trans, and rubber floor, with AM/FM and one CD player.
They looked at me like I was from Mars.
The more computer stuff they put in the more the Gov't will track you for more taxes etc...
I hope there will be a way to disable any "BlackBox" things they will start puting in cars (if they have not already started doing so). Next will be taxes by the mile.
The wifi function and the other functions handled by the car's on-board computer are in no way connected. Your car's on-board computer is safe from being "hacked" by some hacker coming in through the wifi. Its like saying you have a computer in your basement, which is not connected to any other computer, will catch a virus from a computer you have upstairs on the internet. Moreover, even if they were connected, they use specialized chips to store their programming on, which are known by various acronyms, i.e. EEPROM, (Electronically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory) and various permutations of these kinds of chips, which CANNOT be reprogrammed remotely.
The on-board computers are really a good way for the shade-tree mechanic to diagnose complex problems. For a 100 - 300 dollar investment, you can get the hardware necessary to connect directly to your car's onboard computer. No more check engine lights, etc. The VW computers are really light years beyond most other cars, and are invaluable for me, when I want to find out what is wrong with my car. They aren't all that difficult to use, and the companies that make the software/cables make it easy for you to understand what everything means. If you by a VW, I highly recommend you get a connection to your computer, as you will need it to do something as basic as changing your brakes.

Good luck. Many people share your viewpoint/concern.
I know, I bought my automobile computer on Ebay for just over $50. The plug is supposed to be "universal" and works on every vehicle I own (Toyota Tacoma and Accura TL).
As far as being "impossible", I beg to disagree. If the car is communicating to the car computer through the I2C or CAN bus. The CAN bus handles things such as timing, gas/air mixtures and when the transmission should shift. By virtue of the car computer giving this information to a central processing unit - the bus is open. There is no SECURE transaction on the CAN bus - there is no SUPERVISOR mode in a CAN bus transaction. Thus, by virtue of the CAN bus tying into the network - the network is vulnerable. One must ASSUME there is some firewall between the USER interface and the CAN bus. However, I have seen nothing in the bus protocols or interface circuits that state such a device is in existence.
After you've driven about six hours in a Jaguar XJ6, there just isn't really any other car that will ever compare.
After youve driven about six hours in a Jaguar XJ6, there just isnt really any other car that will ever compare.
I am so sure you are right that I am totally open to you giving me one tomorrow. I will give it a good home.
You'll have to start with contacts at your car dealer to see what can or can't be turned off. If you have a Linux PC, you can hookup to your WLAN and start with an "nmap" scan against the default route offered by the router. You can also get a copy of "nessus" to have a quick look. Securing the WLAN with WPA2 encryption with a long, complex password coupled with turning off SSID broadcast will help hide the presence of the WiFi in the car. Adding a MAC filter to only allow specific devices to connect is useful too. That's the first line defense. Turning off unnecessary services exposed by nmap/nessus also reduces your attack surface.
At Wingcast, we did fun stuff like flashing headlights, honking horns, unlocking doors and monitoring the GPS. I could also initiate an outbound phone call. Most of that was SCP (Standard Corporate Protocol) a Ford variant of J1850. The MCP variant ran on the entertainment equipment. The safety engineer asked if the display on the radio could be used to display a scrolling message. He returned from lunch and I had "Attention K-Mart Shoppers" scrolling by. That immediately became a prohibited feature :-)
Some vehicles have remote start capability hooked into the fieldbus with remote radio access from a service center.

Krystal Flash Nymphs SYNfull.
In my effort to join the new millenium.... I'm really stepping up with my nymphs this year after decades of sticking with the "true tied traditional" nymphs made with all natural "ingrediants" Heck; for years I refused to use beadheads after cracking a nice Fisher GT-40 with a bead (not repairable as they don't exist any longer)
So last year I thought I was being adventurist using Flashabou on Quasimoto PT's and was skeptical until they really outfished a regular PT.
Now I've likely lost my mind (if not my soul) and I'm using Krystal Flash wrapped on hook for abdomins & legs, all these new (to me) Ice dubs in the thorax, braided tube pearl mylar wing cases and going nuts on the colors. On many flies the only "real" component is the tail; others totally synthetic.
Fortunately I have tons of synthetic stuff from my salt water tying stuff so outside of some dubbing the cost has been minimal.
Shawn has video of sulphur nymphs rising to the surface and I think I've got a spot on nymph for it finally that may way out fish a brown quasi this spring.
This old dog is trying to learn new tricks to fool Dixie Trout on the tailwaters; it will be boom or bust BUT my general thought is to throw these attractor pattens in lieu of fishing size 22 zebra midges.
Try a Krystal Flash midge. Just a thread midge with a rib of Krystal Flash...absolutely killer!
"Then He said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.'" Matthew 4:19

contact: TroutZoneAnglers at gmail dot com
I had good luck with bluegill last week using a midge that was a black thread body and then had counter ribs of a single strand of red floss and one strand of pearl krystal flash. That was a size 12 though so that may be too much to try on a small trout midge.
I've also had some good results using a few strands of krystal flash as breathers on emergers.

Topic: The "best" Rails IDE for Windows
I'm looking for a good Rails IDE for Windows. At the moment I'm using RadRails and it's a great IDE but writing code is tiresome. From Visual C++ (with the Visual Assist plug-in) I'm used to code-completion and writing without code-completion (if you're used to it) is a pain.
Is there any ide (or a plug-in for radrails) with code-completion?

Mr. Speaker, Sunday, April 13, we mark the Global Day for Darfur, a call to action originally conceived by a group of NGOs working on ending Darfur's horrors.
The number of dead from genocidal violence and now starvation, a genocide by attrition, may be approaching half a million. Victims of the conflict continue to be displaced at a rate of 30,000 per month. Two-thirds of Darfur's population of 6.5 million is in desperate need. This year's Global Day for Darfur focuses on the brutalized and starving children, often orphaned.
The Liberal opposition believes Darfur must become an international priority and the Harper government cannot continue sitting on the sidelines--

Mr. Speaker, the residents of Sainte-Julie are happy people. I have often noted this, as my duties take me there regularly. But now we have the relative happiness index confirming that the people of Sainte-Julie are the happiest people in Quebec. This is wonderful.
Its citizens love living there, no doubt because it is children- and family-oriented. It is a wonderfully successful community.
Its new distinction, I am convinced, will have a ripple effect on the entire Lajemmerais RCM and surrounding area. And in fact, while launching Grand Airs, a summer festival that takes over his town, the mayor of Varennes said he hopes his citizens will one day be able to claim the title currently enjoyed by their neighbour.
When presenting the award to Sainte-Julie mayor Suzanne Roy, Pierre Côté said that all the top-ranking cities and towns, including Repentigny, are run by women. Coincidence or not, congratulations to those women of action and to everyone who spreads happiness throughout Quebec.

Mr. Speaker, on the eve of the Global Day for Darfur, we all need to be aware of the conflict raging in the Darfur region of Sudan.
The region is in the throes of a conflict pitting the Sudanese government against militia groups. But it is civilians whose basic rights have been violated who are suffering the most. Already, more than 300,000 people have died and 2.5 million have been displaced, forced out of their homes with only the clothes on their backs.
Three and a half million Darfuris still depend on international aid to survive. The UN has described the situation in Darfur as the "worst humanitarian crisis in the world today".
The attacks on Darfur must stop immediately so that aid missions can resume and the suffering can finally end.

Mr. Speaker, whether it is leading the new NATO consensus on Afghanistan, defending our Arctic sovereignty, not letting foreign big polluting countries jeopardize our made in Canada climate change plans, or protecting Canada's national interest in strategic industries, Canadians can count on the Conservative government to defend our national interests at home and abroad.
Contrast this demonstrated leadership from our Prime Minister and the Conservative Party with the lack of leadership Canadians are seeing from the Liberal Party and its so-called leader. The Liberals have no policy. Just the other day the Liberals' deputy leader was contradicting his boss on what should be the most important priorities for Canadians.
The Liberals have no vision for our country. They have made over 33 reckless spending promises, which would bring the country into over $62.5 billion in debt and deficit. On top of that, they have proposed GST increases that would raise the GST up to 12%.
While the Liberals have no policy, no vision and no leadership, Canadians are happy to see them supporting our policy, our vision, our leader and our party, the Conservative Party of Canada.
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Bob Rae Toronto Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, according to today's Ottawa Citizen, the Secretary of State for Multiculturalism was quoted as saying the following at a party meeting some time ago, and I am quoting from what he is supposed to have said in this conversation, a quote that is directly attributed to him:
Now, this notion that there's somebody tied to the Heritage Front on the executive. How do we know that and how do we know that this isn't overheated Sikhs using the race card, which they so often do when their credentials are being questioned?
My question for the Secretary of State is this: did he in fact use these words in a conversation and does he feel that these comments are appropriate?
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Calgary Southeast
Jason Kenney Secretary of State (Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity)
Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for the question and the opportunity to respond. I did use those remarks in a particular context and I do not think they were appropriate. I expressed regret at the time. I do so again.
I think it is unfortunate that a particular media outlet and now the official opposition are resorting to using eight year old material from Canada's version of the National Enquirer, called Frank magazine, for question period material. I have never seen that happen in the past 10 years here.
However, I will say this. I have devoted much of my time in public life to promoting the active involvement of Canadians from diverse backgrounds in our political institutions. I am proud of my record in that respect.
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Bob Rae Toronto Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would just observe that members opposite have used at least 30 year old material against many of us on this side, so I think the minister can hardly complain.
I want to say to the Secretary of State that of course on this side we accept his apology, but I want to ask him if he can explain a pattern that we see, a pattern in which things are said behind closed doors that are very different from what is said in public, a pattern in which things caught on tape or caught on microphone unexpectedly are very different from the public statements that ministers say and do. How can he explain that pattern when it so clearly runs against the stated positions of his government?
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Calgary Southeast
Jason Kenney Secretary of State (Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity)
Mr. Speaker, in part by referring to our actions, and I would point out, for instance, that this comment relates to the 2000 election campaign, which I co-chaired. I am proud of the fact that the campaign had more visible minority candidates, more candidates of south Asian origin and indeed more Sikh candidates than did the Liberal Party.
Speaking about off the record remarks, here is one from 1992, when a Liberal organizer told the Toronto Star that while the Sikh community had "the ability to sway nominations in up to 14 Metro ridings, it could have only two candidates". Perhaps the member could explain why the Liberal Party's actions do not comport with its members' words.
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Bob Rae Toronto Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I anticipated a heartfelt response from the minister and what we get is the same old, same old from the Secretary of State for Multiculturalism, in which he uses 16 year old comments to try to match what he himself said.
My question for the secretary of state is very simple. He said, "Now, this notion that there's somebody tied to the Heritage Front on the executive. How do we know that and how do we know that this isn't overheated Sikhs...?"
He spoke about overheated Sikhs and today he is still accusing us. Will—

Calgary Southeast
Jason Kenney Secretary of State (Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity)
Mr. Speaker, as I said, I have expressed my regret for those comments made eight years ago.
But forget about 17 years ago or 8 years ago. Four years ago, another secretary of state for multiculturalism said the following:
The Chinese community is very different from the Indo-Canadian community. The Chinese community are much more objective. No one can force them, or lure them, or cheat them into signing a membership form.
Who said that? The member for Richmond.
Canadian Heritage
Oral Questions
11:20 a.m.
Pablo Rodriguez Honoré-Mercier, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative chair of the Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce, which is currently studying Bill C-10, declared that the Minister of Canadian Heritage, Status of Women and Official Languages told him that she detested the bill in question. She detests it.
Can the minister tell us why she is forced to defend a bill that she detests? Is it simply because she is afraid of her boss?
Canadian Heritage
Oral Questions
11:20 a.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister for Democratic Reform
Mr. Speaker, I can understand exactly why the minister is frustrated. This is a bill that was initiated originally by a Liberal minister, Sheila Copps. The provisions were then reinstated by subsequent Liberal governments. When it came to a vote in this House, those members over there all supported it and now they say they are adamantly opposed.
It is the exact same pattern as their opposition this week in which they said they were adamantly opposed to our immigration reforms. They were so adamantly opposed to them that they voted for them on Thursday. Thanks very much. I can understand why the minister is frustrated, as Canadians are, by trying to figure out where the Liberal Party stands on any issue.

Great potential, but heading the wrong way. - 7/12/2007
I am a transplant, having lived for 18 years in NJ, 9 in OR, and 4 in PA. I live in New Castle County, in Newark. It is a cozy little college town and I was initially attracted to Main Street in Newark for its charm and small-town feel. And the neighborhood I moved to (just outside the U of D) reminds me of the suburb in NJ that I grew up in, as it was then, not overpopulated and overdeveloped the way it is now. Unfortunately, Delaware seems to be trying to do its very best to follow in New Jersey's footsteps and ruin quality of life with uncontrolled development. It is possible for a city/state/county to responsibly plan for future economic prosperity by working hard to attract prosperous employers, plan urban development, preserve historic sites and neighborhoods, and protect wildlife and natural areas. Instead, Delaware is letting real estate developers plow fields and churn out hastily constructed new housing, the public school system is looked down on by most residents, old buildings get bulldozed in favor of condos, and the Dunkin Dounts franchise is just out of control. There's a big box retailer with the usual accompanying chains every few miles and more being built every year.
The few things that Delaware could claim as a bonus, are dissapearing. MBNA has been merged. DuPont is downsizing. The idyllic South-of-the-Canal area is now a mish-mash of overpriced housing, new developments levelling more and more of the beautiful green fields, with a crumbling and neglected downtown Middletown and a newly built high school that is already so overcrowded that an additional high school had to be built. I've often thought that the area of 299 running through Middletown had real possibility for a charming downtown - antique shops, beautiful but rickety houses, and a little theater. But obviously the township doesn't think so. The sidewalks are in such disrepair that you can't bike or push a stroller down the street, the streets are a spiderweb of patched blacktop, there's a thriving illegal drug market, and small businesses come and go quickly. Nothing can compete with the ginormous shopping complexes a mile away that are like their own city. And the newest accomplishment? A Wal-Mart! Well, hoo-ray!
My husband, who was born and raised here, wants to move away. He wants a better place to raise our son. I am willing to stay here so we can be near my son's grandparents, but it's pretty obvious that there are better places to be. It's r[Comment on this Posting]

A guest at the hotel, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, suddenly finds himself in the middle of a murder enquiry, and the hotel is full of possible suspects.
Listen to another Three Pines mystery.
©2008 Louise Penny; (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"[I]ntriguing, well-crafted....Seamless, often lyrical prose artfully reveals the characters' flaws, dreams and blessings." (Publishers Weekly)
I don't review every book--only books I feel strongly about--hence the many 4-5 star vs 1-2 star reviews. Just my opinions--hope they help.
"A Summer Mystery"
I really enjoyed this installment in Louise Penny's Three Pines series. It was a complex and carefully thought out mystery with all the depth I have come to expect from this author. Each book builds on the last and deepens the listener's understanding of the characters gradually. Her writing transports the reader effortlessly and perfectly to the Canadian countryside for a summer vacation. Poetry, art and music are woven neatly into the experience. The careful explanation of delicious food prepared and eaten by all sends this reader into the kitchen to whip up something that is hopefully as good as all the food sounds. Definitely an added plus! I am looking forward to the next book--can't wait to see what will happen. A recommended series that holds the interest--not your average "mystery" fluff.
"I need to go to Three Pines."
The only thing better than a Louise Penny/Gamache book is one that is read by Ralph Cosham. The people are so individual and so well portrayed that you feel as if they were dear old friends...well, except for Ruth, who would reject the " dear".
The plots are intricate enough to be interesting, but never a cheat. This is my second time through, and I am noticing plot details now that I missed the first time.
Now if only I had a licorice pipe to go with my scotch.
"Canadian Agatha Christie"
"A Rule against Murder" is an enjoyable and thought-provoking mystery set in the scenic Quebec townships close to the Vermont border. The characters are rich, full. I dare you not to fall in love Inspector Armand Gamache, his family and team.
This particular story explores the family dynamic in a highly dysfunctional family. Louise Penny draws a picture of a family who already has difficulty expressing love for one another and places them at odds with one another after a murder has occurred. The plot is intricate, like an Agatha Christie murder mystery, and the prose is often lyrical with a lovely dollop of poetry mixed in. Personally, I love cozy mysteries and I like the truly deep backstories of all the recurring characters. In this mystery, we get to know Inspector Gamache, his wife, his team and the residents of the village of Three Pines even more.
A big part of listening to books on tape is the narrator. If you don't like the narrator's style or voice, it's difficult to enjoy the book. Ralph Cosham has a wonderful style and voice. He is able to make you believe in the characters. He is a big part of why I have listened to the first four books in this series rather than reading them.
I will definitely listen to this book again as soon as I get caught up in the series. I can't wait to listen to the next book.
I would compare "A Rule against Murder" to any Agatha Christie book or to a PD James or Elizabeth George novel if they wrote cozy mysteries instead of police procedurals. The themes are wonderful and Louise Penny provides wonderful bits of Quebec history, art history, and poetry throughout her books.
It's hard to describe, but Ralph Cosham's characterization of all the characters is wonderful. It seems natural and unforced. It's a joy to listen to. I listened to this book on a road trip from PA to New England and then plugged myself into my iPhone to listen some more. I just couldn't "put it down".
I definitely wanted to listen to it all in one sitting. I love cozy mysteries. For this series, you have to suspend disbelief that one, quaint village in Quebec can have a such a high murder rate, but it is definitely worth it.
The descriptions of the food and the scenery, the characters who are lovable, but flawed like real people, and the rich history of the French and English Canadians in Quebec makes the murder mystery even more compelling. I didn't want to stop and was disappointed that I didn't have a credit available to buy the next book immediately.
If you love cozy mysteries with depth of character and theme, and a healthy dose of literature and history of Canada thrown in, this Audible book is for you, but I suggest you start with "Still Life" first. The story and characters are more serial than episodic. You can listen to them out of order. I started with "A Trick of the Light", but it so much better to start at the beginning.
Thank you for reading my review.
Dept Q, Harry Hole... where are you?
"A Great Deal of Wisdom Unveiled in a Mystery"
In this 4th installment of the Gamache/3 Pines series we are witness to two extraordinary families. The wonderful and romantic marriage of inspector Gamache and the highly disfunctional family of one of 3 pines' most loved artists. In the end we are privy to one of life's great paradoxes and a pearl of great price.
Like its predecessors, A Rule Against Murder has rich characters in a wonderful setting. The mystery is fun, but it's conclusion is stunning. Much more than a murderer is discovered.
Treat yourself to any of these books and you'll find more than just an escape. You'll find happiness.
"Good Story"
complex characters
the mystery
the lead male detective
no extremes, but the story kept me wanting to learn more
A few seconds between chapters would be helpful, I had to rewind to find where one ended and the next started. Otherwise its easy listening, yet compelling because of the many characters and the intersting mystery.
"You will be glad you selected this book"
I loved "A Rule Against Murder" because Louise Penny's writing is simply music to my ears. Her ability to develop characters, describe scenery, and create an ingenious plot are unparalleled. I am not extremely familiar with Canada or with French Canadians. Therefore, learning more about this particular culture through the characters was also of interest to me. I found myself looking forward to the evening hours so that I could sit down, dim the lights, sip a glass of cabernet and listen to this book. My only regret is that I have now finished the book!
"Good But Not My Favorite Inspector Gamache Mystery"
I didn't read the print version so no opinion.
Yes, for those that enjoy Inspector Gamache mysteries.
Not that I'm aware.
No, nothing extreme
Ralph Cosham was an excellent narrator. I would love to hear more by him.
"The inspector tries to take a holiday"
The narrator is amazing.
Louise Penny's descriptive prose makes me feel as if I am there. In this episode, the inspector and his wife have taken a vacation which will lead him into another investigation. It is a lovely setting, as well as an interesting plot.
retired writer
"One of Three Pines' Best!"
This is one of the more intricate mysteries in the Three Pines series, but the story happens outside of the Three Pines village. This novel deepens the listener's understanding of one of Three Pines' dysfunctional families while providing a murder for Inspector Gamache and his team to solve. Cosham's narration is excellent as usual.
If life were easy, I would't learn anything.
"Read the entire series and fall in love!"
Fall in love with the people of Three Pines and listen as Inspector Gamish (sp) finds and brings to justice a killer lurking just under the surface. I started with "A Brutal Telling," then went back to the first book in the series.
I enjoyed the low key storytelling style of the author as she described the citizens and their various lifestyles. Under it all is an underlying tension between the French and English of Quebec.

Western Digital expects to rebuild its production capacities to pre-flood levels by September, 2012, the company said this week. The manufacturer aims to repair its two factories in Thailand and bring back its output to normal levels in several months from now. Until then, shortages of hard drives will likely persist.
"Our focus today is on bringing back our capacity to rapidly support our customers," said John Coyne, chief executive officer of WD, adding the impact of the floods had reduced its output by 30%, according to Reuters news-agency.
Back in early December WD said that it had restarted production of hard drives in one of its buildings in Bang Pa-in (BPI), Thailand. The company removed all submerged slider manufacturing equipment from the BPI facilities for assessment, decontamination and refurbishment and has commenced decontamination and restoration of its remaining buildings in BPI. Western Digital expects to recommence head slider production in BPI in the Q1 2012 quarter (Q3 FY2012) and also begin production in a new WD slider fab location in Penang, Malaysia, in the same time frame.
The company's other Thailand hard drive facilities at Navanakorn are currently decontaminated and refurbished. The plants are projected to resume production in March and WD expects to restore its output by September, 2012.

Share Your Reflection

This twitterscript is cool, but I hunger for more. I hope
This twitterscript is cool, but I hunger for more. I hope the transcript will be posted soon. Trista's interview with Christian is very moving. I'm sure it was not consciously intentional that this podcast was realized just 3 days before the Gospel story of "Doubting Thomas" is read in Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran and other churches around the world. Christian's reflection on doubt and unbelief very helpful in reflecting again on Thomas and Jesus. This preacher is grateful for Christian's thoughtful thoughts, poems and life.

It sure will Debbie. We don't finish producing each week
It sure will Debbie. We don't finish producing each week's show until Wednesday. Then it goes to a transcriptionist followed by a copy editor, so we usually don't post it until Friday afternoon. We'll have it up shortly.
With regard to the gospel story, it was merely coincidental but I greatly appreciate the heads-up! Great point.

Basic Operations of CUBRID Processes
posted 5 years ago in CUBRID Life category by Park Kieun
This article is a part of "CUBRID Internals" series. In the previous article I have explained about CUBRID Processes and where to configure them. In this article I would like to dive into how those processes run. If you have not read the previous article, I recommend you to do so before reading further.
Figure 1 below illustrates the basic operation flow in CUBRID.
- First, when a user enters the
cubrid service startcommand, CUBRID gets started.
- Then, the cub_master and cub_broker processes are started. At this time, a number of cub_cas processes will be started which corresponds to the value of
MIN_NUM_APPL_SERVERparameter in the cubrid_broker.conf file.
- Then, a user enters the
cubrid server start demodbcommand which creates the cub_server process that mounts the demodb database volume. As described in CUBRID Processes, the cub_master process connects the cub_server process with the cub_cas process, which sends the requests, or the csql program.
Figure 1: CUBRID Operation Procedure.
As shown in Figure 1, if a JDBC application is connected to the server process which mounts the database volume file, the SQL statement can be executed in CUBRID. Two most popular methods to use CUBRID is to execute SQL manually using the command line CSQL Interpreter program or to write a program which uses various APIs like JDBC, PHP, Node.js, etc.
As we have discussed, the JDBC program connects to the database server through a broker while CSQL Interpreter directly connects to the database server bypassing the broker. This is an important difference between APIs and CSQL.
The CUBRID Manager database administration tool is developed on top of the JDBC driver. The SQL statement executed in CUBRID Manager are passed to the server through the JDBC API. Other database management functions that are available in CUBRID Manager (database creating/deleting, etc.) are executed through a management utility called CUBRID Manager Server which runs as a separate manager server daemon outside of the database.
Now, let's take a look at CUBRID Manager as an example to see how an SQL statement is executed in CUBRID. Refer to Figure 2 for this example.
- The SQL statement entered in the query editor of the CUBRID Manager (for example,
SELECT * FROM olympic WHERE host_year > 1988 LIMIT 4;) is sent to CUBRID JDBC driver. This assumes that a database has already been selected in CUBRID Manager before executing this SQL, and the JDBC connection has been established.
- In the JDBC connection process, the connection is made to the port of the host specified in the JDBC connection information (JDBC Connection URL).
- The cub_broker process receives the connection and allocates a cub_cas process for the session to the connection.
- Then, it sends the socket connection to the cub_cas process so the connection between the JDBC driver and the cub_cas process is established.
- Back to the SQL statement execution, the JDBC driver included in the CUBRID Manager sends the SQL statement of the query editor to the connected broker, the cub_cas process.
The broker sequentially calls
db_compile_statement() and
db_execute_statement() among C APIs provided by the client library, to execute the received SQL statement. The
db_open_buffer() function parses the SQL statement, the
db_compile_statement() function compiles the execution plan, and the
db_execute_statement() function executes SQL by sending XASL (eXtended Access Spec Language) to the server.
Figure 2: SQL Statement Execution Procedure in CUBRID.
As shown in Figure 2, the
qmgr_execute_query() function is executed in the cub_cas, and the
xqmgr_execute_query() function is executed in the cub_server process. The
qmgr_execute_query() function in the client is the
xqmgr_execute_query() function in the server. As shown above, CUBRID implements a communication interface of Remote Procedure Call (RPC) between a client and a server. In the server, the
qexec_execute_query() and
qexec_execute_mainblock() functions of the query processing module are used to execute XASL.
If you are interesting how queries are processed in CUBRID, I recommend you to read CUBRID Query Processing which provides the detailed step by step explanation using real examples.
