Buildings & Landscapes: Journal of the Vernacular Architecture Forum
Vernacular Architecture Forum
Buildings & Landscapes examines the built world that most people experience every day—houses and cities, farmsteads and alleys, churches and courthouses, subdivisions and shopping malls. Strongly based on fieldwork and archival research that views buildings as windows into human life and culture, articles are written by historians, preservationists, architects, cultural and urban geographers, cultural anthropologists, and others involved with the documentation, analysis, and interpretation of the built world.
Formerly titled Perspectives in Vernacular Architecture, Buildings & Landscapes is published twice a year.

The federal agency responsible for ensuring workplace safety recently asked an Anniston facility that trains nurses, police, firefighters and emergency medical personnel with deadly warfare agents to replace the protective masks its students wear.
That's been done, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which oversees the Center for Domestic Preparedness in Anniston, but it was unclear Friday whether the new masks also meet other federal guidelines that regulate their use at the Anniston facility.
Ramona Morris, director of Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Birmingham office, in a letter to Center for Domestic Preparedness director Mike King on Dec. 30, wrote that employees at the Anniston center are exposed to chemicals and biological warfare agents, such as sarin, VX, anthrax and ricin, while wearing M40 masks, which are not approved "and therefore, not in compliance" with OSHA regulations.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the federal agency that oversees testing and certification of such safety equipment, told The Star in October that the masks used at the Anniston center were not certified for that work.
"OSHA does not consider it appropriate at this time to issue a Notice of Unsafe or Unhealthful Working Conditions for the alleged hazard," Morris wrote to King, but the agency asked that all workers there be provided with a NIOSH-approved respirator.
It came to light in November that since 2011, workers at the Chemical, Ordnance, Biological, and Radiological unit, known as the COBRA facility, in Anniston, instead of using a non-toxic strain of the biological agent ricin, were using the deadly version, which has no antidote. The CDP has on hand antidotes for the other chemical and biological agents used there.
The CDP on Dec. 17 announced that all chemical and biological operations at the COBRA facility were suspended.
FEMA knew the masks used at the Anniston center were not NIOSH-certified for more than four years, according to the agency, but it wasn't until someone filed two complaints with OSHA since June that the agency replaced the masks.
A FEMA spokeswoman in a message to The Star on Dec. 21 wrote that the agency has replaced the M40 respirators with NIOSH-certified Avon C-50 respirators.
Asked whether the C-50 respirators meet OSHA regulations for use at the COBRA facility, Michael D'Aquino, OSHA's Atlanta office spokesman, declined to answer. Instead, in a message to The Star on Friday, D'Aquino, wrote that a reporter's questions on the matter have "national implications" and referred the questions to Amanda Kraft, a Washington D.C.-based OSHA spokeswoman.
Attempts to reach Kraft on Friday were unsuccessful, and it was not clear whether Kraft had received The Star's emailed questions on Friday.

DrupalCon Baltimore: 161 sessions, many voices, infinite possibilities. Earlybird rate ends Friday.
We just get an indefinite spinner, and a JS error.
Turns out the issue is menu toggle checks the Drupal.settings['adaptivetheme'][activeTheme] structure, but this isn't added to the modal AJAX request so fails with an undefined variable error.
Attached patch just bails if this structure is not set, which seems reasonable since there aren't actually any menus on the media modal "edit" dialog.

From: Bill Shear <firstname.lastname@example.com>
James--interesting ideas, but please remember that a visit to a flower to
gather nectar may not result in pollination if the flower is not
anatomically adapted to be pollinated by the visitor. Hummingbirds have
been seen visiting spuria flowers, but taking the drops of nectar that are
found at the petal bases. They can do this without entering the flower at
all. Also, red or reddish coloration is not a definitive clue to bird
pollination, because the flower may also be reflective in ultraviolet, thus
making it attractive to insects. It might be interested to take some
pictures of irises on UV sensitive film using a quartz lens (glass filters
out UV) to see if there are any UV pollination guides present.

Intracranial lesions for the relief of intractable pain or neurologic disease have been produced in 12 patients by a new method developed at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
A stainless steel "electroseed" measuring 1 mm in diameter and 8 mm in length is implanted subcortically by a stereotactic apparatus. It then can be heated by placing the target area within a radiofrequency electromagnetic field.
The size of the lesion needed for alleviation of symptoms can be determined by judging the amount of relief noted by the patient during the heating procedure, Earl A. Walker, MD, said.
"Using a radiofrequency of 380 kc/sec, this method is apparently safe, and tissue that is not directly associated with the pin is not affected," Dr. Walker said.
In a convention exhibit, Dr. Walker and Charles Burton, MD, showed how the technique was used for disorders causing involuntary motion such as Parkinsonism, as

Samsung has declared it'll push on to 10nm with deliberate speed before 14nm chips have even begun to ship. Are we seeing the impact of Apple's product cycles on the foundry business?
Thunderbolt or USB 3? Thanks to Intel's latest Alpine Ridge controller, there won't be a need to split the difference in the future. Why settle for one when you can have both on a single piece of silicon?
Intel's new socketed Broadwell processors are here, combined with a 128MB L4 cache. Intel's Crystal Well technology shines — Chipzilla has authoritatively taken the lead on integrated graphics performance, though you'll pay a pretty penny for the privilege.
Leaked slides from Intel suggest the company will ship a 28-core Xeon by 2018, substantially outstripping its current 18-core versions — and six memory channels per CPU socket.
Apple sweetens its Retina iMac with a lower-cost version, and springs for AMD Radeon R9 M370X graphics in its top-end MacBook Pro — or, rather, wants you to spring for it.
The Asus Zenfone 2 — a nice if otherwise ho-hum 5.5-inch Android phone with an Intel Atom processor announced at CES 2015 — suddenly just got a lot more interesting.
Oculus has finally come out and set the hardware requirements for the Rift, but this VR solution isn't happening cheap. You're going to need some significant graphics horsepower if you want to play in virtual reality.
IBM has announced a breakthrough in silicon photonics technology — a 100Gb/s fully integrated set of optical components that could be used to link multiple components in a server. Bit by bit, silicon photonics is becoming a reality.
Intel has announced a new deal with ASIC manufacturer eASIC. This new partnership comes in the wake of Chipzilla's failed attempt to buy FPGA manufacturer Altera — is Intel pivoting its datacenter strategy towards entirely different kinds of chips?
AMD's Carrizo has taken much of the limelight in past months, but the company's Carrizo-L platform is still vital to overall revenue. AMD has revealed the new clock speeds and TDP ranges for its budget parts — can these cores hold the fort until Zen arrives in 2016?

Losing a child, even for a few seconds, can be terrifying for a parent. Even if you know where your children are, GPS locators can add peace of mind. There are various types of GPS tracking systems that are suitable for your child.
Based on the FBI'S missing person statistics, there were 102,764 active missing persons as of December 2008. Of these missing persons, 49.7 percent were under the age of 18. With the increased uncertainty of society today, GPS locators can help parents address safety concerns.

If you want to be discreet in tracking your children, a GPS watch might be the best option. Built-in trackers can help locate children. GPS watches look like many other digital watches and the purpose of the watch does not need to be known. With a GPS watch, notifications can be sent directly to your cell phone or email address with the location of the device. An extra feature on some GPS watches is a panic button with automatic tracing, which is beneficial if your child is hurt, feels insecure or is lost.
Wristbands or Ankle Bracelets
Wristband an ankle bracelets can provide a built in GPS device. These are often waterproof. These are often used for younger children because there are not any panic buttons, so younger children will not play with the device and send parents into a panic.
Voice Activated GPS
There are voice activated GPS locators that keep track of kids so that they can be monitored from home. The voice system will first alert parents. If parents are not able to be contacted, there will be an automatic alert sent to authorities. This is especially helpful if medical assistance is needed.
Concealed GPS Chips
If parents want to remain discreet in tracking their kids, a concealed GPS tracker can be placed or concealed in children's belongings, in a bag, the sole of his or her shoe or in another commonly used item. This tracker sends transmissions back to a cell phone or e-mail account, which you choose upon set-up. You also have the ability to choose the frequency and parameters for an update. For instance, if your child leaves the house in the middle of the night, you can have an update sent to you via instant message.
When choosing a GPS locator for children, it is important to consider the transmission range, its ease of use, and whether false transmissions can be sent. The FCC started to require that cell phones have GPS capability if manufactured after 2005, so get an updated cell phone and remind your kids to call 911 in an emergency. Consider what features you do not want to give up and compare by cost and durability as well. Make sure that the GPS locator will last and not need to be replaced frequently. Although price may be an issue for many families, it is not possible to put a price tag on a child's safety.

BEND — William Tell would be proud.
Three young sharpshooters from the Appleknocker Bowmen tested their skills at the Oregon Bowhunters State Indoor Shoot March 1-2 in Bend.
And one, 13-year-old Jessica Miller of Odell, walked away with the top prize in the youth female freestyle division.
"I was pretty nervous the first day," said the Wy'east Middle School eighth grader. "But I was still able to tie my best score ever (249 out of 300). Then, on the second day, I shot my best score ever (262), so I was happy."
Miller attended the shoot with her father, Steve, who competed in the men's bowhunter freestyle division and took ninth place.
"My dad taught me everything," said Jessica, who had never participated in an indoor shoot. "I started watching him when I was really young at the outdoor shoots. He got me a new bow for Christmas and that's when I really started getting into it."
Other Appleknocker representatives at the state shoot were Kelsey and Kyle Griffith of Hood River.
Kelsey took second in the youth female free-style division, while Kyle took third in the youth male freestyle division.
Hot on their trail in the years to come will be Miller's younger sister Shelley (10) and brother Nick (6).
"They all got into archery around the same time," mother Rita said. "I'm the only one in the family who doesn't shoot. But I still have fun going to the events."
With all the young talent in her family, chances are Rita will have plenty more opportunities to scope out future shoots like the one Sunday, March 24 at the Appleknockers' home range on Swyer's Drive.
"You really learn a lot by watching," Jessica said. "There are a lot of really good shooters around here. And the more you compete, the more you get into good habits."
Jessica and Shelley both spoke of habits such as holding the bow steady and a fluid release as being keys to consistent shooting.
"It takes really good eyesight and patience," said Shelley, who hopes to compete at next year's state shoot. "It also takes a lot of practice."
The Millers and Griffiths will continue to hone their skills on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Mid-Valley Elementary School for the upcoming 3D outdoor shoots this summer.

Parkdale third graders sing "12 Disaster Days of Christmas"
Welcome to your sing-able Christmas gift list. What follows is an emergency rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" – for outfitting your home or car in case of snow storm, earthquake, flood or other emergency. Read it as a simple list, or sing it to the tune of "12 Days" – you know, as in " … and a partridge in a pear tree…" Not to make light of it, but the song is a familiar framework for a set of gift ideas that you could consider gathering together, even if the recipient already owns items such as a bunch of coats, tire chains and flashlights. Stores throughout the Gorge are stocked up on all these items. Buying all 12 days might be prohibitive, but here are three ideas for checking any of the dozen off your list (notations follow, 1-12.) The gift items needed to stay warm, dry and safe are also coded to suggest items in your abode (A) in your car (C) or both (B). 12 Gallons of Water (A) 11 Family meals (B) 10 Cans of propane (A) 9 Hygiene bags (B) 8 Packs of batteries (A) 7 Spare coats (B) 6 Bright red flares (C) 5 Cozy blankets (B) 4 Tire chains (C) 3 Flashlights (B) 2 cell phone chargers (B) 1 And a crush-proof first aid kit (B) Price ranges? Here's a few quotes for days Three, Two, Four and Nine: n A family gift of flashlights (three will run $15-30, Hood River Supply, Tum-A-Lum) n Cell phone chargers (two will run $30-60) n Tire chains (basic set, $30, Les Schwab, returnable if unused for the winter) n Family meals ($100 or so should cover the basics for three or four reasonably well-fed days) n The home kit should be kept in a handy place near an exit, and remember that water needs to be replenished every few months. If you have a solid first aid kit already, switch out the gift idea with "and-a-sto-o-u-t- tub-for it-all …" Otherwise, it's a case of assembling your home or car kits and making sure all members of the family know what the resources are and how to use them (ie flares and propane). Emergency situations are at worst life-threatening, at best deeply uncomfortable if you and your family are left without power for an extended period, or traveling and find yourself in a situation where you need to wait out a storm, lengthy traffic delay, or other crisis. Notes on the 12 gift ideas: 12 – Gallons of water: that's one per person in a four-member family to last for three days, the recommended minimum to be prepared for utility outages. 11 – Easy-open packaged goods, energy bars, dried food and nuts are good things to include for nutrition. Think of what your family of four needs for three days to stay fortified and hydrated (see number 12). Can-opener also recommended 10 – If you have a propane camping stove, keep extra fuel handy. 9 – Hygiene bags: put packaged moistened towelettes, toilet paper, and plastic ties in large garbage bags (for personal sanitation) Resource list courtesy of Hood River County Emergency Management, Barbara Ayers, manager/ 541-386-1213. The county also reminds residents to Get a Kit, Make A Plan to connect your family if separated, and Stay Informed. See www.co.hood-river.or.us to opt-in for citizen alerts. Enlarge

Designed around the art it was created to house
Banking is not something you usually associate with art - yet, as you walk into the Absa Towers North building in the Johannesburg CBD, you are struck by the sheer volume and potential of the open-plan space that was designed around the art it was created to house.
The major artworks were commissioned while the building was being designed - allowing artists and architects to work together to create a space that accommodated the artworks perfectly.
There are a number of artworks that can be seen in these larger spaces, including:
- A huge colourful marvel by artist, Karel Nel, titled 'Place of Narture' hangs in the reception area
- Five, six-storey tall tuft carpet banners by Norman Catherine - which were woven by hand by rural men
- An 11-meter tall Walter Oltmann wire sculpture depicting replicas of carved African chairs; weighing half a ton
- A two-storey tall metal mobile of the old City of Johannesburg shown against the newer, more modern city in perfect balance; created by Lewis Levin, Paul Cawood and Susan Woolf. It moves slowly, making a cycle every 20 minutes

An outing not to be missed!
As South Africa's only money and banking museum, a trip to the Absa Money Museum is an outing not to be missed!
Situated in the stylish Absa Towers West building in the heart of the cultural metropolis that is the Johannesburg CBD, the Money Museum is home to the most complete collection of South African numismatic items in the world.
When we think of money, we generally think of coins, banknotes, credit cards and cheques, but in the past people traded with commodity money, like salt, seashells, metal and animals. The museum's history stretched back to the beginnings of trade in Johannesburg, and the dynamic displays include ranges of early money forms (such as Cowrie Shells and Venetian glass beads) through to gold coins retrieved from sunken ships.
Of course, the Absa Money Museum also covers the history of the banking giant in depth, and one can trace the history of Absa and the development of money in South Africa and its financial history.
The museum is open Monday to Friday (08:30 – 16:00) and access is free. Please remember to bring your ID for entry into the building. A tour guide is provided for groups (maximum of 15 people and booking is essential), and the Museum also specialises in tours for the hearing impaired.

Cons: I bought these for my Gigabyte Z170Z Gaming 7 (G7) motherboard, based on another reviewer's good experience with them in his own G7.
My system would not boot with XMP enabled in the UEFI. Neither re-seating nor changing memory channels helped. Trying the sticks individually didn't help (both failed). I have the latest official UEFI (F7 as of this writing). There are two BETA UEFIs I might try, but I shy away from BETAs.
G.Skill tech reps have tried to help via email, and for that I'm thankful. But it's time to RMA before the window expires.
Other Thoughts: Update:
I called Gigabyte support, and let them know that this memory is incorrectly listed in their supported memory PDF document. The description in their document was for the memory I bought (2x8GB sticks, 14-14-14-34), but the G.Skill part number they show was for a 4x16 (64) GB package. So it's unclear whether the memory I bought was really supported. Gigabyte needs to correct their chart.
I checked the G.Skill web pages for memory supported on the Gigabyte z170x Gaming mobo, and this memory was not listed (that I could see).
Gigabyte tech support convinced me to try their latest beta UEFI (F8g), in spite of my reluctance to try anything labeled 'beta.' But it worked, so I'm upping the eggs.
My thanks to tech support from both companies, and PLEASE update your various documentation.
This review is from: Corsair Gaming STRAFE RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX Brown
Pros: Really like the keys (brown in my case), even with the mechanical noise.
Cons: CUE (Corsair Utility Engine) can be confusing. I expected to get a predefined WASD lighting (per older Corsair keyboard models), but didn't. The startup time of CUE is inexplicably very high. I'd like to have the WASD lighting along with the Type Lighting effect, but haven't figured that out yet. Knocked off an egg because of CUE, not because of the keyboard mechanics.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: I bought this primarily for its 2 M.2 slots, which in addition to supporting newer SSDs also reduce cabling. The board seemed solid, with a clean layout. Assembly was simple, quick, and the rig POSTed first try. The UEFI was reasonably intuitive. I did not have the sound issues others mentioned. There is a mouse speed setting in the UEFI that can fix the slowness others have mentioned.
Cons: Per others, the rear LED connector can be hard to access. I'm having boot issues with my 3200 CAS 14 RAM at rated speed; can't yet point fingers. My old Audigy card sounds better than the onboard audio (but alas, no PCI slot for it). Migrating my Windows 10 OS (upgraded from Windows 7) to the M.2 stick was painful (UEFI settings, NVMe, MBR vs. GPT, etc.). If I'd had a Windows 10 key, I'd have started from scratch. There were several nasty hiccups with Gigabyte software installs (from the CD) which ultimately cleared up only after a network connection was established and I was able to run Gigabyte's App Center (failing grade here, Gigabyte!). The boot-up time is horrible in spite of a minimal boot sequence (over 30 seconds); still working on that one.
Other Thoughts: OC'ing will wait until later. My build:

Student Success Stories:
Student Success Story – Rosemary Driscoll
Rosemary Driscoll is carrying on a family tradition at Missouri State University-West Plains. The freshman from Brandsville is one of five siblings who have all attended the campus at one point or another in their pursuit of a higher education.
The youngest child of Steve and Cathy Driscoll, who own St. Michael's Nursery, Rosemary decided to follow in her four older brothers' footsteps and begin her collegiate career here. "All of us had the A+ Program, and it was close to home," she explained. "It was a good starting point because we knew we could go here and move on with a good educational foundation."
The tradition began in the fall of 2001 when oldest brother Jim enrolled. He spent a year at Missouri State-West Plains before transferring to Missouri University of Science and Technology (then known as the University of Missouri-Rolla) to complete a degree in civil engineering. He currently works as a civil engineer in the St. Louis area.
Next came Joe, the third brother, who completed his Associate of Arts in General Studies degree in spring 2007 before transferring to Missouri State in Springfield and eventually completing a master's degree in business administration. Joe is now a vice president at UMB Bank in Springfield.
John, the second brother, attended Missouri State-West Plains from fall 2011 through summer 2012 then transferred to Missouri State in Springfield to complete a degree in cultural and regional geography. He now serves in the U.S. Army and is in training for explosives ordnance disposal.
Youngest brother Mike attended the campus from fall of 2014 through spring of 2016 then followed his older brother, John, into the Army. He is now with the infantry at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
Even their father, Steve, who already had a bachelor's degree in finance from St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas, took some classes at Missouri State-West Plains in fall 2001. Later, he decided to enroll in the Associate of Arts in Respiratory Care program and completed the degree in 2010.
Originally, Rosemary had planned to buck this tradition following her graduation from Koshkonong High School in May 2016 and attend a four-year college that boasted a strong theater program. She had applied for and thought she had received several scholarships that would have made the choice possible financially, but one of the scholarships fell through, which would have forced her to take out student loans beginning with her freshman year, she explained.
"Missouri State-West Plains was the smarter choice for me, financially," she said. "I didn't want to go into debt right off the bat. My brothers all had good experiences here, so they all encouraged me to come here. So, I don't think it was a bad choice to stay at home."
As former students at the campus, Rosemary's brothers all had advice to share. "Mike and Joe were both Student Ambassadors, and they suggested I get involved in that," she said. Both brothers also were members of the Grizzly Cheer Team, "but I never got into that," she added.
She did sign up for the William and Virginia Darr Honors Program, just like her brother Joe, and she was selected as a Student Ambassador.
"I was really sad at first, when I wasn't able to go to a four-year school right off the bat, but I decided that I would make the best of it, and it's been really great so far. I don't regret my decision at all. I love it here!," she said.
Rosemary said she might continue in her brothers' footsteps after leaving Missouri State-West Plains. She's considering transferring to the Springfield campus to complete a degree in English or writing with a minor in theater.
But while she's here, she will continue taking the advice of her brothers and make the most of the opportunities available at Missouri State-West Plains. "There are so many options here – the China Study Away Program, the Darr Honors Program, the Ambassadors. There's always stuff to be involved in," she said. "You get out of college what you put into it, so you have to make the most of your experience here. It won't last long."
Although she's the last of the five to enroll at Missouri State-West Plains, the Driscoll tradition may not end with her. She has nine nieces and nephews who may just follow in her footsteps one day. "I'll always tell them they can live with grandma and grandpa and go to college here!," she said with a smile.

You're missing the point here. Creating 10000 directories *once* is a completely irrelevant test to check BackupPC performance on a given filesystem. With BackupPC usage you will just not have enough memory to store all changes in RAM indefinitely. Sooner or later, you will have so many changes that the system will *have to* commit them to the disk - and this is where advantage of one filesystem over another could be shown: how well does it prevent fragmentation, does it try to place certain inodes/blocks close to each other etc. Heck, it's not only filesystem, but also IO scheduler that can make the results *very* different. At least with Linux, I'm not familiar enough with I/O scheduler algorithms and tuning in FreeBSD or Solaris to discuss it. By default, Linux uses a CFQ I/O scheduler, which tries to be fair to all processes. For a typical desktop or some server scenarios it usually works fine. With BackupPC though, using a fair scheduler doesn't make much sense, though: we're not interested in latency, but in a general throughput, so here, anticipatory scheduler is better (at least for me). So it is completely fine if 4 BackupPC processes will read and write in one close area of HDD, and 5th process will have to wait a bit longer to access a completely different HDD area. Such approach will decrease seeks, and improve overall performance, although some processes may wait longer for I/O sometimes. And definitely, there is something wrong in the tests you're doing - for me, creating 10000 directories on ext3 takes between ~4 seconds (and 2 more seconds to sync): # sync ; bash mkdirs.sh ; time sync 0.00user 2.69system 0:04.00elapsed 67%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+211minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.00user 0.01system 0:02.25elapsed 0%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+198minor)pagefaults 0swaps And creating 10000 hardlinks to a file takes under 3 seconds on ext3, including sync: # sync ; time perl mklink ; time sync 0.01user 2.51system 0:02.57elapsed 97%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+532minor)pagefaults 0swaps 0.00user 0.01system 0:00.16elapsed 6%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+198minor)pagefaults 0swaps And guess what, the filesystem is accessible via network (iSCSI), hence slower, the system is a Xen guest (one of many on that host), and it runs on a not-so-fast 2.93 GHz Celeron CPU with just 256 kB cache. Again, such test is completely irrelevant for BackupPC. At the bottom of this post, I pasted simple scripts which create directories and links, but which results are completely irrelevant for BackupPC - unless you modify them a bit, try to run them thousands of times for a couple of hours (add file removals, adding content to files etc., perhaps). I have too Nexenta with ZFS at home, it might be interesting to test it there. > i would expect that this quote from sun's website is the explanation: > > *Blazing performance* > ZFS is based on a transactional object model that removes most of > the traditional constraints on the order of issuing I/Os, which > results in huge performance gains. > > there is the I/O caching. zfs caches checks of I/O and then reorders it > to do a large, more-sequential write. In Linux, that's a I/O scheduler domain: when small read latency is needed, such behaviour may not be always desired. Scripts: # cat mklink.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Fcntl; my $dir = "/mnt/iscsi_backup/test"; chdir $dir; sysopen (TESTFILE, '0', O_CREAT, 0644); close (TESTFILE); for ( my $i = 1; $i <= 10000; $i++ ) { link 0,$i; } # cat mkdirs.sh #!/bin/bash DIR="/mnt/iscsi_backup/test" cd $DIR seq 1 10000 | xargs time mkdir -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org

TT was going wonderfully until my DS had tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy and grommets put in again in Feb, he was really good the 2 weeks we were away while he recovered, but as soon as we returned home and got back into work/daycare routine he regressed
We kept persevering, putting him in Undies, making a big deal when he went on potty, made him up a sticker/reward chart, and he got good again.
Now he seems to be regressing again won't Poo in toilet and hardly ever uses toilet/potty for wee. Daycare asked a couple of weeks ago for me to put pullups in his bag so they could help try starting him again.
There is a couple of little bully kids at daycare, so I'm starting to wonder if that may be the problem.
Any other tips on helping him through this period?
