Character Analysis Pablo Bookmark this page Manage My Reading List Pablo is the leader of the band of guerillas who are supposed to aid Jordan in the demolition of the bridge, the central action of the book. When the reader first encounters Pablo, he finds the man to be sullen and uncooperative, wanting neither himself nor his men to have any part in Jordan's assignment. In a "showdown" with Pilar, his mujer, Pablo is forced to abdicate his leadership of the band, and the men decide that they will help Jordan. Pablo's moroseness persists until, on the night before the bridge is to be blown, he runs away. He returns, however, in time to aid in the attack on the bridge. Hemingway seldom allows a scene, or a piece of action, or a bit of dialog to carry only a single meaning. In the same way, he seldom permits his major ideas to be represented by a single character. Though, at first, Pablo and Jordan seem to be greatly dissimilar, as the book progresses, the reader becomes increasingly aware that the two men are basically alike. Both men are experiencing the same sort of transition, the major difference being that Pablo has progressed farther along the scale than Jordan. He has already accepted those realities of the war to which Jordan has been trying to adapt himself, and he has already lost that fervor which he had at the beginning of "the movement." In addition, Pablo is less willing than Jordan to deceive himself about the possibility of doing the bridge assignment successfully. Sick of the war and unwilling to die for the cause, Pablo deserts, an action which is thematically parallel to Jordan's later contemplation of suicide. But, again paralleling Jordan's action, he returns because he is the only one who can lead the group to safety after the battle. "Having done such a thing [i.e., deserted]," he says, "there is a loneliness that cannot be borne."

Multi-Ethnic Britain: Facts and Trends.
Amin, Kaushika, Comp.; Richardson, Robin, Comp.
This paper was prepared as a conference resource and a useful reference tool for participants at a conference on multi-ethnic Britain. This reprinted version contains some small textual revisions. It presents a selection of key facts relevant to consideration of the future of Britain as a multi-ethnic democracy. Chapter 1 introduces the subject of ethnicity in Britain and describes components of the multi-ethnic "good" society. Chapter 2 provides general demographic statistics about black and ethnic minorities throughout Britain, and Chapter 3 considers their involvement in society's political culture. Chapter 4 reviews minority participation in the labor market, and chapter 5 explores minority involvement with issues of law, rights, and criminal justice, as well as the realities of racial harassment. Chapter 6 discusses the multiple deprivations that affect many ethnic minority communities. In Britain, color is a factor in social disadvantage and the inability to achieve full citizenship. (Contains 26 tables, 9 figures, and 25 references.) (SLD)

Humans are not believed to have a magnetic sense, even though many animals use the Earth's magnetic field for orientation and navigation. One model of magnetosensing in animals proposes that geomagnetic fields are perceived by light-sensitive chemical reactions involving the flavoprotein cryptochrome (CRY). Here we show using a transgenic approach that human CRY2, which is heavily expressed in the retina, can function as a magnetosensor in the magnetoreception system of Drosophila and that it does so in a light-dependent manner. The results show that human CRY2 has the molecular capability to function as a light-sensitive magnetosensor and reopen an area of sensory biology that is ready for further exploration in humans.

A recent edition of In our Time suggested that the thesis that there is a separation between the mind and the brain is now completely rejected by most neuroscientists. Quite what the link is between the conscious mind and our actions is uncertain- work on how a human being picks up a jar reveals the moment at which the conscious decision is made appears to be half a second after the moment at which the brain actually 'decides' to do the picking up. The conscious brain, the mind, appears in this sense to be a book keeping thing- it tells us what we have done- it also does extensive plans into the future but it coordinates everything else with the unconscious mind. All human beings though appear to be born with a theory of mind- ie that they think that there is something independent of the clusters of neurons and electrons that reside in our brain. What's interesting about this belief is that the only people who do not believe it are those who are severely autistic and therefore limited in their ability to sympathise with another within society. Empathy depends on the division of labour in our heads between matter- like this computer which does not feel me drumming my fingers over the keyboard- and mind like you who I hope will have a certain reaction to what these words say. That insight depends on me having a theory of mind which distinguishes between the computer- inanimate and uncaring- and you- animate and sensing in some way what I have to say.
In a sense therefore all human life depends on a lie. It depends on something which is not strictly speaking true- that the mind is something entirely different from all other matter within the universe- a Cartesian illusion. There are plenty of other similar illusions out there- so for example we rely on the fact that things are solid. I'm sitting currently on a bed- I think of it as a solid and stable thing- but actually the collection of atoms that make up the bed are constantly changing, there are gaps between them- when I say solid, what I mean is that for my purposes the bed is solid. I can sit on it. Strictly speaking though it is evolving as I sit on it and even moving slightly. These useful illusions are what we generally might say to be common sense and they work- in that they enable us to live our lives. It does though create an issue for us in terms of the truths that we live with and the truths that emerge as true: those two categories are not the same thing. The issue this creates of course is that our mind is hardwired not for truth but for utility: consequently the world we imagine to be true is often not the world that is there, but the world that it is useful for us to imagine is there. This should make us cautious about common sense and truth: just because something seems true doesn't mean it is true. We can never escape our human perspective and there is no view from nowhere on the world- but what I find interesting about this is that even within our human perspective, we discover two types of knowledge- one for practice and the other for knowledge.
Neither is worse or better than the other, but if we are to understand our thinking it is worth keeping the two separate and understanding which we are interested in at a particular moment.

Yes. This is an area that fascinates me. Buddhism puts emphasis on the fact that were are NOT "the mind" but in control of it - so then we are separate. But separate how and in what context?
Your words about those who do not wrestle with this dilemma brings home another observed truth for me (selective perception) in that my new step-daughter is autistic - diagnosed as Asbergers, but that is coming more and more to be thought a label to make parents feel better rather than a actual diagnosis. There are ranges of Autism - something else I am learning about. It is in this venue that I view her perception of the world, her place in it, and how she interacts with other humans.
We are complicated beings are we not? And therein lies the fun and the confusion.
Excellent post. I enjoyed it. - Monday, February 22, 2010 10:10:00 pm

Yes, yes and yes. I think you are right entirely about the interesting area fo the mind- I reccomend the In our Time I linked to on that. On the way that definitions are useful as well as truthful I also agree- the disability thing is definitely true, many highly intelligent dyslexics I know became much happier at school once they knew tehy were because they had an explanation for having to try hard at certain subjects. You could also think say of the way that we self define in groups as a way of helping our selves cope with life: we become special in a sense!

Where did Piers Morgan come from, anyway? "Morgan… has no discernible political philosophy… an unprincipled, relentlessly self-promoting opportunist, a disgraced tabloid hack who doesn't care whom he offends or how foolish he looks as long as he's the center of attention. Morgan's stance on a given subject is determined not by ideology, but by what will generate the most controversy, get him the most coverage, and strengthen his hand when negotiating his next book or TV deal. His efforts been given added urgency of late by the need to boost the paltry ratings of his CNN show." Kinda like we thought.

Where did he come from. My theroy is a buzzard shat him on a rock, and the sun came out and hatched him.
I don't know why drb hasn't mentioned this – she's really slipping – but my J.P.'s Moment of Common Sense was about Piers Morgan last week: https://jpattitude.com/130119.php. I suggested that we deport him unless the Brits end their banning of Michael Savage. We win either way.
Oh sorry, but my dance card has been rather full lately…teehee
But anyway… you heard the man, folks…JPAtitude.com that's JPAttitude.com stop on by!
(besides, what does it matter fast you hit however many million hits you get when you aren't going to highlight those milestones anymore? Where's my motivtion?)
my dance card has been rather full lately
Yeah, yeah…get in line with everybody else who wants something or other from me…daggonnit where's that ghosty…he's suppossed to be my back up for that JPAttitude.com schpeil…that's JPattitude.com, stop by today. now hush…JP will be on the radio in like an hour and a few minutes…shhhhhh.
Well he certainly hasn't been dancing, he's been working. You know, to pay the bills, doing his fair share to keep people like Creepy in Cheetos and cell phones. So he missed the chance to write that site addy down for future reference, heard on the Webz it's an awesome site.
And after a pot of [_]3 to finally warm up after shoveling 7″ of fresh snow off the drive and walk he's ready. So Ms Publicity Lady, if you'd be so kind, what was the name of that site again so he can make special note?
ps, he said please hurry.
that's JPAttitude.com, JPAttitude.com, JPAttitude.com. Stop on by folks, and feel free to leave a comment on JP's latest moment of common sense and you will receive your very own auto-response e-mail from our very own JP Travis…
oh and ghosty, would you be so kind as to pour me a cup of coffee too, please.
He's outside writing that addy, I'm sure he'd be happy to as soon as he's finished.
thank you ghosty.
I even washed my hands first thing after coming back in, brrr.
See JP…I'm not the only one who is concerned with proper hand hygiene
The time has changed, Publicity Woman. The show moved to a progressive station and the start time changed to 3:00 PM Pacific Time. Didn't you get the memo?
And I caught that it was a progressive station and Lady J has to put emphasis on your conservativism…kinda like she's saying "well, you know he's my friend, but bless his heart, he's a conservative. He can't help it."
So I did a Planned Parenthood piece on the old conservative radio station, then the next week we're on a progressive radio station and the special guest is the local head of Planned Parenthood. And I'm asked not to interrupt her. I guess my only option is to do another Planned Parenthood piece. I hate PP. Not just because they do abortions, but because they lie about what they do, they use their huge cash reserves to bully anybody who dares criticise, and they act like they're angels of mercy rather than money-grubbing leeches. Blech.
oh and did you happen to catch this piece of garbage…actually thanking God that he was able to kill his baby and not have the responsibility of being a dad 15 years ago.
Toure:"In some ways that choice saved my life."
Selfish narcissist. It cost your precious, unrepeatable son or daughter, his or her only opportunity at life. ME, ME, ME, to the point of murder. Sick. The emotional/mental problems that often come after an abortion come from inverting the natural order. The parent is supposed to sacrifice herself or himself for their own child, not the other way around. And what great happiness and joy is found in sacrificing yourself for your child or grandchild when you find out it no longer gives you as much time to worry about your own problems.
"Greater love than this has no one, that he lay down his life for his friends." -John 15:13
Greater hate than this has no one, that he lay down the lives of others for himself.
Toure:"I thank God and country that when I fell into a bad situation, abortion was there to save me and keep me on a path toward building a strong family."
You didn't fall into a bad situation, Toure, you made a choice to have sex but didn't make the choice to be responsible for the result of that act. Toure has a happy family now because he was able to murder his first child. Goodness, they're blind and sick.
And the hits just keep on coming
"They say the so-called Reproductive health bill is the "the most sweeping abortion legislation in the nation" because it would lift limits on third-trimester abortions and allow non-physicians to do abortions"
An abortion is a surgical procedure. The risks involved are very real, and even in the hands of an experience doctor, uterine perforation is a real risk, since the uterus softens in pregnacy and it is difficult to judge if the products of conception have been removed and you are scraping at the uterine wall.
With 2nd term preemies surviving a third trimester abortion is murder, plain and simple. No hiding behind the baby being undeveloped, or unable to survive outside the womb or anything like any of the arguements trotted out for early abortions. It should not only remain illegal, but should be prosecuted as premeditated murder.
go for the throat when you do…leave 'em spittin' and sputterin'…let no lie slip by.
I listening…Lady J is talking to other people right now but I guess you'll be back eventually.
and if you add an hour and a few minutes on the time stamp of my post (which is pacific time), ya get 3pm
Look up "media whore" in the dictionary. Guess who's photo accompanies the definition?
Everyone's expressed thoughts on PM indicate that he is just PERFECT for the Communist News Network. The only publicity he receives is from conservative blogs such as this – and he laughs all the way to the bank. Why not give 6 months to just let him die out at CNN – ignore him, stop talking about him – just like his ratings numbers. 🙂
There are more people discussing and blogging about this idiot than ever watch his little show.
The only good Piers Morgan has been is to prove that, sometimes, even God himself has diarrhea.
PM's is a self-serving, demonically possessed humanoid with a vacuum for a soul. His existence provides us with a stark contrast between the polar opposites of evil on the left and good on the right, PM, of course, being on the left, evil end of that spectrum. The best thing we can do with people like him is to ignore him.
That's an insult to Aliens. They would have to be brilliant to even get here, and clearly Piers doesn't meet the criteria.
If he was on fire and I had to pee, Piers wouldn't get a drop.
The publicity he is garnering for himself makes it even less likely that I would watch him, which has to be an impossibiliity, since there always was no chance I would watch him. Everything I have heard or read about him is that he is an obnoxious asshole. But then he is on CNN, wadja expect?
I actually forced myself to watch a clip of him on youtube, he talks/yells over his guests when they say anything that doesn't fit his agenda, and he even threw his show notes when a woman smacked him down on gun control!
He's an asshole and an immature jerkoff, and those are his good points.
So…. Ignore him to urinate him off. Got it!
Where Morgan came from isn't nearly as important as where he needs to go, as in back to face charges for Phone Tapping, and most likely being a pedophile. Baring that, a quick trip to hell from high velocity lead poisoning will suffice.
Under a hot, steaming, cow pie.
Realize that psilocybe cubenis mushrooms come from cow pies, this would explain his delusional thoughts.

Lot 35: Ma'or VaShemesh - First Edition, Breslau, 1842 - Including Two "False" Title Pages, Lemberg, 1745
Auction 53 - Rare and Important Items
by Kedem Public Auction House Ltd
15 November 2016
Jerusalem, Israel
Live AuctionDescription: Ma'or VaShemesh, both parts. [Breslau, 1842]. First edition. On both title pages are false dates and false name of the printer: "Printed by Rebbetzin Yehudit Rubinstein in 1785". On the title page of Part 2 is a handwritten signature: "Yehuda Yosef Reich". Ma'or VaShemesh on the Torah is one of the basic books of Chassidic thought and in many editions, it is printed together with the Chumash (the Rav Pninim edition). The author is Rabbi Klonimus Kalman HaLevi Epstein of Cracow (1751-1823), an exceptional Torah prodigy proficient in revealed and hidden Torah and leading disciple of R. Elimelech of Lizhensk, whom R. Epstein revered and considered on the level of the Ba'al Shem Tov himself. He also periodically travelled to the courts of R. Yechiel Michel of Z?oczew and R. Levi Yitzchak of Berdychiv. After the death of his teacher R. Elimelech, he would travel to the Chozeh of Lublin, to R. Ber of Radoszyce, to the Magid of Koznitz and to R. Mendeli of Ryman?w. Already in his own times, he was renowned as a holy man and was reputed for the revelations of ruach hakodesh he merited and the wonders he performed. His teacher R. Elimelech of Lizhenk crowned him Rebbe; he was the first to spread Chassidism in the city of Cracow and many of his followers became prominent Chassidic leaders. The Mitnagdim in Cracow pursued him and even announced a cherem (ban) on Chassidism in 1786. After this pursuit led to his imprisonment, Rabbi Kalman returned to his native city of Neustadt and established his court there. In 1820, he returned to Cracow, died several years later and is buried there. [2], 144 leaves; [1], 145-277, [2] leaves. Approximately 23 cm. White-greenish paper. Wide margins. Good-fair condition. Soft, worn paper, many dampstains. Tears and damages. Few restorations and reconstructed text to the first leaves and to Leaves 134-135. Elaborate leather binding. Stefansky Chassidut, no. 307. Some copies have different title pages: copies with a title page only for Part 1, copies with a falsified name of the printer but with a correct date - 1842), copies with the real title pages with the date 1842 and place of printing "Breslau in the printing press of R' Hirsh Sulzbach". This is a unique copy with both "false" title pages with all the details: "From the printing press of Ms. Yehudit Rubinstein, in 1785".

Aren't you getting tired of bad economic news? I know I am. I've completely given up the phrase, "Well, at least it can't get any worse." Not only that, I'm even getting bored playing Cassandra, and that used to never fail to cheer me up. But here's some news: My tax rebate check is due to be mailed out by the end of this week, and yippee, I can hardly wait to spend it! I got to thinking, you know what is totally possible here? Double my money! That's right, I can (nearly) double my money by putting every cent of that rebate into a home energy-saving improvement that qualifies me for a 2008 Energy-Saving Tax Credit.
The limit on the amount of credit the government is currently willing to grant is $500, but that could ( and should) change. Here is what the IRS has to say about it on their own tax credit page:
Energy-Saving Tax Credits
You can take a credit based on what you spend on various energy-saving improvements made to your main home. New energy-efficient improvements qualify, including insulation, exterior windows, exterior doors, water heaters, heat pumps, central air conditioners, furnaces and hot water boilers. The overall credit is limited to $500 and further dollar limits apply to specific components –– for example, $200 for windows. If you took the full $500 credit in 2006, you cannot claim the credit in 2007, even if you made qualifying energy-saving improvements.
Separately, there is a 30 percent credit for the cost of photovoltaic property, solar water heating property and fuel cell property.
These credits are claimed on Form 5695.
Tax credits are different from tax deductions. A tax credit comes directly off of the tax you owe, not off your taxable income like a deduction does. That doesn't mean that if you usually get a refund a tax credit is useless to you; what it might mean is that with the tax credit your refund will be much larger.
Different home energy improvements qualify for different tax credit amounts. Here are some eligible improvements:
Below is a table of anticipated tax savings and energy savings for energy-efficient home improvements taken directly from the Department of Energy website:
Product Category |
Product Type |
Tax Credit Specification |
Tax Credit |
Windows | Exterior Windows | Meet 2000 IECC & Amendments | 10% of cost not to exceed $200 total |
Skylights | Meet 2000 IECC & Amendments | 10% of cost not to exceed $200 total | |
Exterior Doors | Meet 2000 IECC & Amendments | 10% of cost not to exceed $500 total | |
Roofing | Metal Roofs | ENERGY STAR® qualified | 10% of cost not to exceed $500 total |
Insulation | Insulation | Meet 2000 IECC & Amendments | 10% of cost not to exceed $500 total |
HVAC | Central AC | EER 12.5/SEER 15 split Systems EER 12/SEER 14 package systems | $300 |
Air source heat pumps | HSPF 9 EER 13 SEER 15 | $300 | |
Geothermal heat pump | EER 14.1 COP 3.3 closed loop
EER 16.2 COP 3.6 open loop EER 15 COP 3.5 direct expansion |
$300 | |
Gas, oil, propane water heater | Energy Factor 0.80 | $300 | |
Electric heat pump water heater | Energy Factor 2.0 | $300 | |
Gas, oil, propane furnace or hot water boiler | AFUE 95 | $150 | |
Advanced main air circulating fan | No more than 2% of furnace total energy use | $50 |
* Source: ENERGYSTAR.gov
** The IRS will determine final tax credit amounts. As more information becomes available, it will be posted on our web site.
Although using a tax rebate check to get another tax credit is not very sexy, financially it's the bomb. Not only do you get semi-immediate gratification in the form of a chunk of change coming right off your 2008 tax bill, you also get the energy cost savings of the improvements themselves for the rest of 2008 and for as long as your energy-saving improvements last beyond that.
Once you get done patting yourself on the back for being so financially savvy, write your congresspeople, because what they are doing right now, at this very minute, is letting many of these credits expire while they argue about pork projects and creating new holidays and whether baseball players should use steroids and whether gay people should marry each other and lots and lots of other idiotic nonsense that won't do one single thing to make life better for 99.9% of us.
Imagine what would happen if these energy-saving tax credits were radically expanded so as to make energy self-sufficiency an attainable goal for every American household? Excellent technology already exists in photovoltaics and personal wind turbines, not to mention biodiesel for both home heating and auto fuel. The problem is that much of this technology is prohibitively expensive to purchase and install.
The US government could instantly create millions of new manufacturing jobs in this country by increasing energy tax credits for builders and individuals, and by underwriting low cost loans for energy overhauls that would make each household energy self-reliant. Not only is this possible, some European nations have already implemented such programs with great success. It goes without saying that energy self-reliance for US homes would also go a long way towards freeing the US up from life-and-money-sucking foreign entanglements over petroleum, and in doing so would provide money for, I don't know, health care maybe?
I'm off now to research affordable ways to heat our home this winter. I'll be sure to post what I find out so if you want to live in a warm space come November of 2008 too, you'll have a few choices for how to accomplish that seemingly impossible goal. In the meantime, plant that Victory Garden, walk to work, recycle, and smile if you can!

LAW Pennsylvania F&I Library of Forms Launched by Reynolds and Pennsylvania Automotive Association
LAW Pennsylvania F&I Library Offers Pennsylvania Dealers a Comprehensive Catalog of Legally Reviewed F&I Forms
DAYTON, OH--April 18, 2013: Reynolds and Reynolds today announced the launch of the LAW� Pennsylvania F&I Library, which offers Pennsylvania automobile dealers a comprehensive catalog of standardized, legally reviewed finance and insurance (F&I) documents. The LAW Pennsylvania F&I Library of forms was developed jointly through a partnership between Reynolds Document Services and the Pennsylvania Automotive Association (PAA).
"Government regulators, consumer organizations, and automakers all are placing increasing pressures on dealers that shape how work gets done in the dealership and how consumers experience the dealership," said Jerry Kirwan, senior vice president and general manager of Reynolds Document Services. "The LAW Pennsylvania F&I Library of forms has been developed to help dealers meet growing compliance requirements and to improve productivity in the F&I department, both of which can lead to better business results for dealers and a better car-buying experience for consumers."
The LAW Pennsylvania F&I Library of documents was created and will be maintained through the combined expertise of Reynolds Director of Compliance Terry O'Loughlin, Reynolds' Association of Finance & Insurance Professionals (AFIP) certified compliance legal specialists, and the Pennsylvania Automotive Association.
John Devlin, president and CEO of the Pennsylvania Automotive Association, said, "One of our goals is to provide our member dealers with products and services that help them address compliance issues, increase operational effectiveness, and meet today's retail challenges from a position of strength. Reynolds has a similar vision for helping dealers address the challenges of a changing retail and regulatory landscape. We're pleased to work with Reynolds to offer the LAW Pennsylvania F&I Library as one more way to help dealers manage risk, maintain compliance, and streamline the F&I process."
Reynolds LAW brand is well established in the automotive industry as a brand of trust. LAW forms are available in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., and have been endorsed by a number of state automobile dealers associations and leading automotive finance institutions.
The flagship product of the LAW brand is the Reynolds LAW� 553 Universal Retail Sale Contract, which is the most widely accepted document in auto finance. The Reynolds LAW 553 is available in a number of different languages and is regularly reviewed by industry experts to help keep pace with new legislative and regulatory developments.
PAA is one of the top 10 largest state associations of franchised new car and truck dealers, representing more than 950 dealership members.
Since the 1920s, Reynolds has been known as the leader in serving automobile dealerships nationwide with standard and custom business and vehicle sales forms to help dealers manage their operations more efficiently and serve their customers more effectively.

Summit, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/16/2014 -- The North American commercial establishments lamenting over staggering water bills can finally heave a sigh of relief- TeraValve has arrived with a revolutionary patented water valve which can assure 10% to as much as 25 % of water savings.
The company received the TeraValve water valve patent on April 28, 2014 & it's the sole patented water valve of its kind. A renowned division of leading NJ energy management software firm TeraHoldings, TeraValve has its advanced water valve installed in multiple US commercial applications- yielding more that 12 percent average savings.
"TeraValve is heavily focused on practical water saving water valve. It's our continued R&D that has taken us to the fore of water savings & conservation devices. The issued patent has rendered more credit to our break-through technology," stated the TeraValve spokesman.
He added, "We promise the best of technology in water and sewer savings- right from materials, internal working to installation of our unique proprietary valve. Addition to savings in water bills, our TeraValve is designed to enhance meter accuracy & eliminate excessive consumption."
TeraValve is engineered on Le Chatellier's volumetric dynamics principle as well as Boyle's law of gas pressure & volume. The TeraValve manager stressed on the air infusion problem in water pipes -that heightens the water volume leading to undue escalation of water bills.
"Another chief reason behind faulty bills is excessive pressure on water meter resulting in more rapid spins. Actually, water meters have been designed to function within a definite flow range & excess spin would mean more bills on your side- as well as stress damage to your equipment," the manager explained.
Speaking further, another senior spokesman emphasized on TeraValve's 100% water financing solutions in NJ. TeraValve has access to more than 200 million USD in different financing programs. Financing options would be based on clients' typical goals & specifications.
"We assure you high financing approval rates with reasonable interest rates. We help our clients with 3 major financing solutions- note financing, lease financing as well as zero out of wallet shared financing solutions," detailed Tera Holdings LLC President Paul Pape.
TeraValve has successfully catered to a myriad spread of commercial clients including hotels, property management agencies, high-rise condos, high-rise office apartments, laundry mats, food-processing plants and many more.

Now on GIT
after working for long years using SVN I convered the repo of this Blog to GIT.
I created some test/toy repo on Github . While this is supposed to be much more effective I need to see. Meanwhile I just notice that git really is not good while performing push and pull via http (what I need in order to work with firewall proxy).
For my real repo's I created a private git server for myself. Once the code matures I might push to GITHub as well.
What is the best time to push to public Github?

"A new cluster option"
"32-bit remains chip of choice"
"Labs explore Linux super clusters"
"New software tools help manage servers, networks"
"AMD chip to compete with Itanium"
"More than the sum of its parts"
Clusters that link inexpensive, commodity servers are finally coming into their own.
United through software to solve a particular problem, these systems are taking hold throughout the government. At one end of the spectrum, modest clusters of two or four servers, or nodes, are used to promote business continuity. At the other end, government research labs are harnessing clusters of 32 nodes or more for scientific and technical applications. Both aspects of the market continue to push the performance envelope.
But clusters aren't just about power. This computing model holds a major cost advantage over supercomputers based on reduced instruction-set computing processors and the Unix operating system. Clusters of Intel Corp.-based systems running Microsoft Corp. Windows or Linux may be had for a fraction of the cost of a symmetrical multiprocessing machine, industry executives contend.
The list of the world's fastest computers provides evidence of how pervasive cluster computing has become. The Top500.org's June listing of the fastest supercomputers reveals that the number of systems using Intel processors has grown from 56 to 119 in the past six months.
The combination of performance, scalability and lower cost would appear to make clustering an easy decision. Yet clustering has its challenges. One issue is managing clusters as they grow. Organizations are cobbling together a mix of homegrown, open-source and commercial products to get the job done.
Another consideration is how to interconnect clusters. Options include Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, proprietary interconnect products and InfiniBand (see box, below).
Despite those questions, clustering technology appears ripe for exploration.
"The market for Intel Corp.-based clusters is definitely heating up and getting a lot of attention from [hardware] vendors and independent software vendors that are developing applications for these environments," said Charles King, a research director at the Sageza Group Inc., a market research firm. "It's a good time to be looking seriously at clustered solutions."
Small clusters of two to four nodes have typically been used to ensure availability. This is particularly true for Windows clusters. Since Microsoft introduced Wolfpack clustering for Windows NT 4.0 in 1997, business continuity has been the main concern for customers.
"In the Windows market, that's how most people think about clustering today," said Jason Buffington, director of business continuity at NSI Software.
Customers use clusters to "provide high availability" for Microsoft Exchange messaging servers and other application servers, added Quazi Zaman, technology manager for platforms at Microsoft Federal.
But small clusters are beginning to take on other roles. For example, the government's shift toward Web-based application development has sparked demand for network load balancing, Zaman said. Load balancing lets organizations boost the performance of Web- based applications. As IP traffic increases, client requests are distributed across multiple servers within a cluster, according to Microsoft officials.
Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows 2003 Advanced Server and Datacenter Server operating systems offer load balancing.
Clusters also are deployed to boost database performance and availability. For Microsoft's SQL Server database software, Zaman said he's seen requirements in the government market for two to four nodes or more.
But Microsoft isn't the only player in the commodity cluster space. Some organizations are opting for Linux.
That's the case for the 19th Judicial District Court in Baton Rouge, La. The court has deployed two Linux clusters: a four-node application server cluster and a four-node database server cluster. The cluster replaced the old Wang VS technology.
"We wanted to have maximum throughput and scalability," said Freddie Manint, criminal justice information system director with the court. He said the court's load-balanced clusters address both availability and performance.
The court uses Dell Computer Corp. 2650 PowerEdge machines for the application server cluster and Dell 6650 PowerEdge servers for the database cluster. Cluster-resident applications include case management and criminal history tracking. Both clusters employ Red Hat Inc.'s Linux.
The court's system uses Oracle Corp. 9i as the database. "We see a lot of traction for two- or four-way servers configured with Oracle [Real Application Clusters]," said Reza Rooholamini, director of enterprise solutions at Dell.
The court's clusters have a 10 gigabits/sec backbone featuring 3Com Inc. Gigabit Ethernet switches and XRN Interconnect Kits, which link the routing switches.
Manint said one attraction of cluster computing is the "bang for the buck" Intel processors afford. The court continues to tweak its clusters and expects to add more nodes in the next couple of years.
When it comes to clustering for sheer performance, federal laboratories and research organizations provide the most notable examples in government. Here, clusters based on Intel or Advanced Micro Devices Inc. systems, typically running Linux, take on a number of computationally intensive challenges.
At the Energy Department's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, the humble fruit fly is the target of clustering's computing power. In 2000, the lab's Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project deployed a Linux cluster from Linux Networx Inc. The initial deployment of 20 nodes has since grown to 72.
The lab had the option of adding to its collection of Sun Microsystems Inc. Enterprise servers, but decided the Linux cluster would be more cost-effective. Erwin Frise, systems manager and bioinformatics scientist with the genome project, said the clustering approach was the only way the group could have conducted its research within budgetary limits.
Frise said the lab spent roughly the same amount on its cluster that it would have spent on adding more Sun boxes — and got more computing power to boot.
Eric Pitcher, vice president of product marketing at Linux Networx, said clusters offer a "price/performance improvement over traditional systems of at least a factor of 10."
Cluster Management
The task of running a cluster is fairly straightforward for smaller installations; the operating system does a great deal of the work. In Windows, Microsoft Cluster Server offers a basic set of services. But third-party offerings can provide additional capabilities.
For example, Windows clusters typically involve an active/passive node arrangement, in which nodes share storage and one node takes over if another fails.
NSI's software adds additional protection. The company's GeoCluster uses replication to split the storage so that each node has its own copy of the data.
But the management challenge grows with the size of the cluster. Even routine management tasks become complicated as clusters get larger, said Dave Turek, vice president of deep computing at IBM Corp. And developing software to keep tabs on an organic environment is no walk in the park either.
"Making software scale up and down is extraordinarily hard," Turek said.
Nevertheless, a number of vendors are having a go. IBM's Cluster Systems Management tool is one example. It is included in IBM's Linux and Unix cluster products.
In general, cluster management software aims to facilitate the creation of clusters, monitor the health of nodes and schedule jobs to be distributed among nodes.
Linux Networx's ClusterWorX software configures clusters and monitors nodes. The software keeps tabs on CPU and memory usage while tracking disk input/output and network bandwidth. As for job scheduling, the company plans to integrate open-source software into a unified product, according to Pitcher. For now, Linux Networx products work with Platform Computing Inc.'s Platform LSF and Altair Engineering Inc.'s PBS Pro job-scheduling products.
Open Source Cluster Application Resources (OSCAR) is an open-source take on cluster management. The OSCAR umbrella includes Portable Batch System, from which PBS Pro is derived, among other tools for building and managing clusters. OSCAR contributors include IBM, Intel, Dell and the Oakridge National Laboratory.
OSCAR's goal is to simplify cluster management. Still, information technology managers who seek the benefits of clustering should be mindful of its potential complexity.

We still have no idea who did the voice of the Headless Horseman, but if you're playing a male Gnome Death Knight lately, we know whose voice you've been listening to: Dino Andrade, recently interviewed by Geeks of Doom, a voice actor who's probably most heard as "Pop" of the Kellogg's Rice Crispies mascots. You can hear his reels and demos on his website, and sure enough, that's our Gnome.
Andrade says the Blizzard recording was "the most secretive thing I have ever done" -- they didn't show him anything visually about what the character was or did, and apparently he wasn't even allowed to take the script out of the recording room. Andrade also says that Blizzard is keen to let voice actors do their thing -- rather than giving direction, they let the actor come up with lots of their own reads, and then chose the one they wanted to use. It's almost hard to believe that Blizzard's voice acting is so good, given how hands-off they are (you'd think they'd aim to connect it with the art or animation in some way), but Blizzard fans know how well it works -- the voice characterisation in Blizzard games has always been terrific.
Very interesting -- while Blizzard's voices are one of the things that have really made their games successful, it's strange that they've never let us into the process more. Their sites are full of concept art and model designs, but it would be cool to hear an uncut recording session or find out exactly how voice recordings are integrated with the game. Maybe we'll see more on that in the future.

Keselowski encouraged by car testing at Phoenix
October 27, 2012, NASCAR Wire Service, NASCAR.com
MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- Brad Keselowski wanted to see for himself. Having heard about some of the aerodynamic difficulties drivers encountered in early tests of the new 2013 Sprint Cup race cars on intermediate speedways, Keselowski was intrigued by the prospect of testing the car himself. The Chase for the Sprint Cup leader was so intrigued, in fact, that he was willing to take a break from intense preparation for the final four Cup races to drive the 2013 Ford Fusion instead of his customary No. 2 Dodge. "I thought it was a great test. I had heard rumors that things weren't going so well with that car, so it felt good to kind of just do it on my own and see what was really going on." --BRAD KESELOWSKI He had his chance on Tuesday and Wednesday in a combination new car/Goodyear tire test at Phoenix International Raceway, the first test of NASCAR's 2013 models on a one-mile flat track. Keselowski, who will drive Fords next year when Penske Racing makes a manufacturer switch, liked what he saw and felt in the new car. "I thought it was a great test," Keselowski said. "I had heard rumors that things weren't going so well with that car, so it felt good to kind of just do it on my own and see what was really going on. I thought the test went really well. "The cars seemed to have a lot of drivability, and it's easy to work backwards from there, because certainly we have to balance that, if we make the cars too easy to drive then that's not going to be great, but they also have to be drivable. And you'd rather start with drivable and work backwards than the alternative. "I thought the car was pretty good, and I had a great time with that test. It's certainly something I'm very encouraged by for the future in the things that I saw." Racing in traffic was an issue for the 2013 cars that tested a week earlier on the new pavement at Kansas Speedway, but that ameliorated as the two-day sessions progressed. "It was tough in traffic, and the car was really loose in [entering the corners], but I applaud NASCAR and all the teams for getting together and trying to say, 'OK, how can we solve this? How can we make this car the most raceable car we've ever had?'" said Brian Vickers, who tested the 2013 Toyota Camry at both Talladega and Kansas. "By the end of a two-day test, we accomplished it. I was racing around all the guys in traffic. I was racing the 2012 cars. I felt comfortable. I felt better behind them. All in all, I thought it was a gain." Vickers also pointed out that, at the Kansas test, the 2013 cars raced on tires intended for the current-generation race cars. "We're still racing on 2012 tires, or tires built for the 2012 car and not for the 2013 car, so I think it's going to get better," said Vickers, who led both Cup practice sessions on Saturday in preparation for his eighth start of the season.

Cote de Pablo to leave 'NCIS' Mon Jul 29th, 2013 2:51pmLife By Lynn Elber Associated Press You must sign in or register to continue reading content. BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — CBS Corp. chief executive Les Moonves says every effort was made to keep the actress who plays Ziva David on TV's highest-rated show, "NCIS." Moonves says Cote de Pablo was offered, in his words, "a lot of money" because the network didn't want to lose her from the crime drama. Moonves says the offer was then upped. But he says the actress decided she didn't want to continue on the show. He noted the social media outcry from de Pablo's disappointed fans, but asserted that CBS did everything possible to keep her. A representative for de Pablo didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. "NCIS" stars Mark Harmon as head of a Navy criminal investigations division. It returns for its 11th season this fall.

Size Reference Table:
US Sizes
Euro/China Sizes
International Sizes
Japan Sizes
Foot Length
- These dimensions are for reference only. Specific dimension varies from person to person
- Size may be smaller than usual standard; you can choose a larger size
How to Ice Skate Safely:
Having fun and being safe can go hand in hand during the winter months. Prepare for an ice skating trip by purchasing the correct skates and winter clothing. Find a safe spot to skate and avoid injuries- Pick locations that are locally approved for skating. Skate at ice rinks, lakes or ponds that have been officially checked for safe ice conditions
- Group children together when skating. Use the buddy system to make sure no one encounters an emergency situation by themselves
- Skate in the same direction as the others. If the rink is full of people, keep with the crowd. Remind kids to skate in the same direction as everyone to avoid collisions
- Wear proper winter attire both indoors and outdoors. Hats maintain body heat that would otherwise escape through your head. Make sure you have warm socks on to keep your feet warm and gloves to warm your hands
- Pick skates that fit comfortably and have good ankle support. The best skate is a tight, comfortable one with sharp blades
How to Fit Ice Skates:
Fitting ice skates is quite different than fitting everyday shoes. Because of their use, ice skates must be durable and stable yet flexible. You can order ice skates online or via catalog if you want skates that fit your feet exactly. Otherwise, any sporting goods store or ice skating equipment retailer will have a fine selection of sizes, widths and brands to choose from
Fit Custom Ice Skates
- Trace the outline of both feet from a sitting position. Keep the pen close to your feet as you trace
- Measure the length of your foot by starting at the tip of your longest toe and end at your heel
- Proceed to the ball of your foot by placing the tape measure around your foot just above the base of your toes
- Take a measurement for your instep by wrapping the tape measure around the underside of your foot where your arch is located
- Fit the tape measure around your heel. You'll need to close the tape measure off at the top part of your foot where the base of your ankle is located
- Gauge the circumference of your true ankle size. This means you'll need to measure your ankle at its widest point, usually just above the base
- Submit additional information that may be necessary to customize your fit. This includes age, height, weight and current brand of skate wear
Fit Store-Bought Ice Skates
- Try several different models and manufacturers. Often, you will find that one brand is a better fit for you
- Bring your socks. It's important to try on the ice skates with the socks you intend to skate in so that the sizing is correct
- Line your feet up properly to check the accuracy of the size. Push your heels to the back of the skate before lacing and then alternate standing and sitting to gauge the fit
- Check the position of your toes. They should be close to the end of the boot, but not touching it
- Be sure your heel has room to move around. Sideways and front to back motions are ideal, but not up and down movement which indicates a bad fit
- Spend at least 15 minutes in the skates before buying them. This helps to reveal wear problems which may not be immediately evident

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich., Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TaxResults.com is an online tax consultancy and is proud to celebrate successful outcomes for its clients. Many people find themselves in difficulty with the IRS - for a number of reasons - perhaps owing back taxes or even undergoing salary garnishment. Tax Results has been able to offer its clients solutions that can both vastly reduce their tax obligation and provide them with a reasonable payment plan.
"Our goal is to provide the best customer service and results in the industry," says the VP Brad Patrick. "Our mission is to provide an aggressive response to client tax problems to achieve the maximum resolution allowed by law."
Tax Results has many success stories:
One client had never seen any reason to have a professional prepare his taxes until he found himself owing the IRS $11,000. Following the advice of another major tax consultancy, he called the IRS to set up a payment schedule but after two years, still owed $7,000. Realizing belatedly how much he was paying in interest and penalties, he turned to Tax Results for help. Tax Result's agents found that previous tax submissions had been filed incorrectly and eligible deductions had been missed. They amended the last three tax returns and followed up with the IRS. The client's $7,000 debt was erased and he actually received a refund of $4,000.
Another client had failed to complete returns - or pay any taxes - for two years, and was facing a debt to the IRS of $100,000 with his salary being garnished. Tax Results was able to settle this client's debt with an Offer in Compromise. The garnishment was revoked and the total debt was reduced to $9,000 with an affordable payment plan in place.
Tax Results offers a 'no resolution, no fee' guarantee - if they fail to provide a resolution to your tax, you don't pay them! To find out more about possible solutions to your tax problems, visit http://www.taxresults.com.

98 wrangler 4" lift $3500 obo 106000 miles 4.0 5speed
I have a 98 wrangler with a 4" lift it has 106xxx miles on it comes with a worn out set of 33's and a set of 32's that need to be swaped over. All in all the jeep is in good shape it. The lift has 500 miles on it. I have had it about 1 month and was planning on fixing it it and using it as my dd for a while but I'm buying a house and need the money right now. The bad is it possibly needs a oil pump as the oil pressure drops once it gets warmed up. The jeep also needs front fenders as it was hit on the pass side and I cut the fenders up to make tube fenders for it and haven't had a chance to do any more to them. The hood is also a little bent up but could be fixed easy. The light bar is still there but the lights are no longer on the jeep
Name is Curtis I work nights call or text im at work tight now so i will get pics tomorrow. 810 701 7691 Last edited by cj7on44's; July 15th, 2013 at 06:59 PM. |

This is the only pic I have of it right now. it no longer ha the lights but the bar us still there. didn't have a chance to get any more today. Had to do some running around for house paperwork. |
July 16th, 2013, 05:24 PM | #5 |
Got my dad to upload some pics for me. All pics were taken before the lights were taken off.
I'm still working on the jeep until it sells. The more work that gets done the more the price will go up |

text: This Big Sky Carvers Marc Pierce Piling In Mallard Sculpture is meticulously handcrafted by Big Sky Carvers artists based on founder Marc Pierce's own life experiences. Each piece comes with a copy of the story written by Marc, from which it was inspired: I love to hunt for anything and fish for everything, but I am first a water fowler. My dad is a water fowler too, so it may be those first hunts as a boy with him that imbued this love. Whatever the case, I love to hunt ducks and when I'm not hunting them I love to watch them. Watching ducks fly, take off, and land is like sitting in on a lecture on aerodynamics. Among waterfowl, mallards have some of the most interesting air moves, including the ability to drop almost straight down onto a small target. When it's time to land, it's almost as if they pull the ripcord on their parachutes and fall, steering with their wings. In an area with lots of birds, the first one will make it onto the target and then his buddies will dive in on top of him. Dad used to say that they are piling in at that spot. Yeah, that's it.

[edit] Scratch for Fedora
[edit] Summary
Scratch is an educational programming environment which makes it easy to create games, animations, and art. It's open source and would be a great addition to Fedora.
[edit] Owner
- Name: Matthew Miller
- Email: mattdm at fedoraproject dot org
[edit] Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 19
- Last updated: 2013-03-11
- Percentage of completion: 95%
I want to withdraw the Scratch feature as a feature, for two reasons:
- while it works on 64-bit systems, the Squeak plugins are not 64-bit clean, and upstream isn't interested in resolution. - Scratch 2.0 was just released with great fanfare, and that based on proprietary Adobe Flash. Hopefully a future version will be open-source friendly again. The current version isn't yet dead, but heavy promotion seems untimely.
The package as it is is in F19, though, so people can use it, and I do intend to work on the 64-bit issues as I have time.
[edit] Detailed Description
Read more about Scratch at http://scratch.mit.edu. Previous versions were not open source, but this one is. We've also worked with upstream to resolve issues around licensing and proprietary media formats.
[edit] Benefit to Fedora
Scratch is great for kids, and for creators of all ages. Its inclusion will help promote Fedora as a "maker" distribution.
[edit] Scope
We're largely done: the package is in the last stages of review, and issues around mp3s and licensing complications have been resolved. Additionally, the Squeak VM (which Scratch runs on) has been updated to the latest version, fixing a number of problems.
A few bugs remain in the current package, including an issue with full screen mode and a crash when using the camera. These should be resolved before the program is presented as a feature.
[edit] How To Test
Run Scratch. Download demo code from http://scratch.mit.edu and observe that it works.
It's expected that most testers will be interested in the Scratch language; writing programs and trying features are good tests.
[edit] User Experience
Scratch will be available.
[edit] Dependencies
Nothing depends on Scratch, but Scratch depends on Squeak VM. Some of the bugs may need to be fixed there rather than in Scratch.
[edit] Contingency Plan
I'd like to see Scratch through the review process in any case. The most likely contingency is that it's packaged but still has bugs, in which case we'll leave it available but document those bugs. In the worst case, we just don't ship it.
[edit] Documentation
There is a wealth of documentation at http://scratch.mit.edu/
There is also a popular new book from No Starch Press, Super Scratch Programming Adventure! (http://nostarch.com/scratch)
Mitch Resnick TEDx talk on learning with Scratch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42_30Rgf6F0
[edit] Release Notes
Fedora 19 includes Scratch, the graphical programming environment from the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. Scratch makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, games, animations, music, and art.
Install Scratch with
yum install scratch
and run either from your desktop's application menu (under Programming) or by typing `scratch` in a terminal window.

Abraham-Louis Breguet |
Sotheby Parke Bernet |

Fascinating! So the question now is, was your grandfather able to put an alarm clock back together?
Quite an remarkable ancestor you have. Those complicated watches and clocks are all the more astonishing considering not only the metallurgy back then, but the fact that each tiny part was hand forged.
(On another note, your forebear was perhaps also the spiritual antecedent of those craftspeople who seem to feel that the delivery date is sometime after the client's death.)
Breguet was operating around the same time as the English James Cox, who produced inventive jeweled timepieces, and about whom I plan to write eventually. Although Cox was more of a jeweler than a watchmaker, some of the same motivations infuse their work and originality.
--Road to Parnassus
Dear Road to Parnassus -
Not only was the "Marie Antoinette" finished after the queen's death, it was finished after Breguet's death, as well! I suppose the pressure of a deadline just fell away.
I have read that Breguet was aware of changes in metallurgy, but chose to concentrate on design instead. It is indeed amazing that the pieces of all those miniature masterpieces were handmade. There is a watch within my family that was the apprentice piece of my great-grandfather, Jules-Henri Breguet. To pass his apprenticeship, he had to make an entire pocketwatch by hand. I believe the watch still works, though my grandfather was the last to wear it.
Incidentally, the finest book on Abraham Louis Breguet is a large tome, "The Art of Breguet," by master watchmaker George Daniels. I will be the first in line to get a copy of your book on James Cox.
Alas, David, I do not own a Breguet. C'est domage.
As a side note, I've read of the death of Marie Antoinette, who faced the guillotine with dignity, and the death of Madame DuBarry, who faced the guillotine hysterically. The women in the crowd who witnessed Madame DuBarry's end showed empathy, and one witness suggested that if more aristocrats had acted naturally to such terror, the Reign of Terror might have ended much sooner.
Incidentally, Breguet fled France during that time, and stayed in his native Switzerland until he was again welcome in France, during the reign of Napoleon.
What a charming and interesting post. I'd call it a perfect post.
I've often admired Breuget watches in magazine ads. With their milled edges, fine enamel work, and moon dials, they have an exquisite antique look so different from the digital and electronic devices one sees today.
Cute story about determining inherited mechanical aptitude.

Subject | maven problems building site |
Date | Fri, 28 Sep 2007 21:51:09 GMT |
Hi, I'm trying to build the db site, running maven 1.0.2. maven was unable to download the dependencies. Possibly a temporary problem with the maven download site?? Anyway, after manually downloading the dependencies and their dependencies and placing them in my local repository, I'm left with one unresolved dependency: Attempting to download js-1.5R4-RC3.jar. Error retrieving artifact from [http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/rhino/jars/js-1.5R4 -RC3.jar]: java.io.IOException: Unknown error downloading; status code was: 301 WARNING: Failed to download js-1.5R4-RC3.jar. BUILD FAILED File...... c:\home\.maven\cache\maven-xdoc-plugin-1.8\plugin.jelly Element... attainGoal Line...... 657 Column.... 46 The build cannot continue because of the following unsatisfied dependency: js-1.5R4-RC3.jar I've downloaded this manually also and placed it in .maven/repository/js/jars, but, still the error. Any ideas? -- Michelle | |
