One of the criticism of DevOps we hear often is that it's too focused on getting operations to change according to what developers want than getting developers to adjust to the realities that constrain operations. For example, Circonus CEO Theo Schlossangle made this point on theCube earlier this year.
There are exceptions. J. Wolfgang Goerlich told Wikibon earlier this year that he lead his IT ops team to adopt agile operations practices before the dev team adopted agile development practices. And I've written before about how prominent members of the DevOps community emphasize the importance of Ops.
But the culture gap can be a problem, and the flap about "NoOps" was representative about the tensions that can arise as developers gain more influence, possibly at the expense of operations.
A few months ago Alex Tatiyants ran a story called "DevOps is Ruining My Craft:
Sure, you might get your precious "predictability", but at what cost? I mean, can you even still remember that rush of intrigue and anticipation you get when your application refuses to work on two of the twelve servers it was deployed to? The thrill of the hunt as you figure out exactly which configuration settings are different and, of those, which one is causing the problem? The sweet taste of relief that you get after hours upon hours of debugging finally narrowed it down to a rogue registry setting?
It's obviously satire, but I can understand why sysadmins would be unhappy to see developers coming in telling them how to do their jobs. As I wrote before:
Developers are now treated like rock stars. That's got to burn a lot of people on the operations side. I know from first hand experience that ops people – system admins, system engineers, networks engineers, data center managers, etc. – have it rough. They work long hours, have enormous pressures and are often seen as "cost centers" who love saying no and slowing down progress. It's often thankless job.
Meanwhile, we keep hearing "developers, developers, developers" and "developers are the new king makers." The RedMonk analysts try to make it clear that when they say "developers" what they really mean is "practitioners." They include system admins, designers, etc. in their definition of "developers." But it does seem that most people are pretty focused on programmers, not the people out there racking and stacking servers, when they say "developers."
So what causes this cultural divide? Ops staff tend to be conservative. Not necessarily in the political sense, but in the sense of preferring stability to new shiny things. I'm painting with very large strokes, but in the companies I've worked in the operational IT people (system admins, DBas, network engineers, etc.) have been more likely to live in the suburbs, drive pick-ups or SUVs, have served in the military and eat meat and potatoes for lunch. Developers, on the other hand, were more likely to live in the city, ride their bikes to work, have gone to college and eat sushi for lunch. The individual traits vary from person to person, but the pattern is that one team like stability, the other is neophilic.
It makes sense that conservative people would gravitate to careers that emphasize up-time and neophilic people would be more attracted to development jobs. But it creates an atmosphere where one group would prefer to stick with something that works, both in terms of technology and process, and another that constantly wants to try new things. Add the possibility that DevOps might reduce the number of Ops jobs, and you can see why the Ops side might not be as down with DevOps as the Dev side.
What can be done? As usual, I'll recommend getting developers on the call rotation. Once developers can start to see the Ops' pain, there can be much better communication between the two departments. Ops should also accept that, done right, agile will mean less downtime and rollbacks. But these are the normal, predictable recommendations. Are there any less obvious solutions to the Dev/Ops divide?

Royal Armouries pledges support for Guards Museum Appeal - Thursday, 13 December 2012
Royal Armouries has pledged its support for a fund-raising appeal to create a Flanders Fields Memorial Garden 1914-2014 at The Guards Museum in Central London.
The unique project will mark the Great War's centenary anniversary by creating the garden from earth from the battlefields in Flanders – honouring soldiers from the seven regiments of the Household Division who made the ultimate sacrifice on Belgian soil.
The "Flanders Fields Memorial Garden" has been designed by the internationally acclaimed Belgian landscape architect Piet Blanckaert and is supported by the Government of Flanders.
Chairman of Royal Armouries' Board of Trustees Wes Paul attended the fund-raising launch on December 5, accompanied by Alex Ulster, Chair of the museum's Arms and Armour Heritage Trust. They joined 80 other guests, including a large contingent from Belgium and the Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Angela Harvey.
Wes said, "As we approach the centenary anniversary of perhaps one of the darkest hours for mankind, it is important that we remember those that have fallen in those tragic years of the First Great War.
"It is also important that we use every opportunity to educate future generations to the tragic costs of conflict. I can think of no more fitting monument to those British Guardsmen that fell on a foreign field to have this simple but elegant garden, filled with the earth from the battlefields of Flanders, where they fell, right here, back home at their Regimental Headquarters. I would like to congratulate all those involved in its development and to help raise its profile, to enlist all the support that we need to bring it to completion."
The memorial garden is set to open in July 2014, marking the start of the centenary commemorations of the "War to End All Wars".
Once created, The Guards Museum garden will be a tranquil and poignant place of reflection in the heart of London.
Curator Andrew Wallis said, "We are seeking to create a place to visit for those who are unable to travel to the continent or indeed, those who just want to spend a few minutes of their day to pause for a while and to remember the enormous sacrifice of so many people from so many countries in the Great War."
The Government of Flanders is providing matched funding to the £600,000 required for this special project which will further strengthen the historic ties between Belgium and Britain.
Geert De Proost, the Government of Flanders' representative in the UK, said, "This is the opportunity for organisations or individuals to pledge a contribution, however small, to bring this project to fruition. We hope the momentum of the fundraising appeal will also help to raise awareness of the forthcoming centenary. We are proud that the Flanders Fields Memorial Garden will be sited at The Guards Museum which is the ideal location as it is the home of five of the most famous British regiments and attracts many visitors a year."
The project is supported by The Government of Flanders, The Guards Museum, The House of Lords, the City of Westminster, English Heritage and the Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain.

"Civilizing" the frontier was a long and complex process, with lasting effects on our culture. The multi-ethnic building-up that followed the exterminatory tearing-down allows us to ponder our history in a somewhat gentler, more multicultural light. Here in Maine, the frontier is not westward, but rather curls along our rivers — the once bustling ribbon of towns built around water-powered mills. As one writer put it, "Maine must confront the hulking empty shells of our industrial past — the huge riverside mills that dominate so many of our towns. Who will settle this territory, conquer its demons, and make it productive?" Five years ago the Frontier Café in Brunswick staked out a striking riverside space in the Fort Andross Mill — where they served mostly soups and sandwiches you ordered at the counter.
It was really nice. But the space was so terrific, and the ambition of the proprietors so obvious (Frontier also features an art-cinema, and a gallery), that you always thought they might do something more with it, culinarily. Now Frontier is seeking to civilize itself — closing for a few months to redo the space a bit and create a more ambitious menu. With its high ceilings, massive windows, and beautiful long tables made from salvaged wood, you would not have thought that Frontier could look much better. But it does, thanks to a handsome new bar, and great rustic-meets-modern bar-stools — that live up to the grandeur of the space.
Would the new menu? You now read it at your table, and order from a waiter rather than at the counter. And you can do it while sipping some interesting cocktails served in big glasses — especially a "royal fixe" made with gin and tarragon. Or you can sip something from an interesting wine list, which included an affordable bottle from Lebanon that went well with the menu's varied cuisine. It might make you nervous at first to note the dishes that range from Asian, Mexican, French, and American (among other influences). Can one kitchen do a good job with this variety of approaches? Mostly it can, it turns out.
If there is a unifying theme at Frontier it is the notes of sour and citrus (especially lime) that emerge in many dishes — and mostly to good effect. A fried tofu appetizer had a great chewy soft texture, without greasiness, and had a nice limey-cilantro flavor. It came with a bright pink sour slaw, and a sweet-sour tamarind chutney. Mussels came stewed in a glowingly yellow-green curry sauce, tarted up with lots of lime, galangal, and lemongrass. It came with slices of nan, and we wished for a fleshier bread to soak up the sauce.
Among the entrées, the steak frites stood out as the best — perfectly medium-rare, super-tender, with a nice salty-sour red wine sauce, and an aioli so stocked with rosemary it was almost crunchy. Roasted pork medallions, wrapped in pancetta, were also terrific, though the Brussels sprouts might have used more roast, and its red onion marmalade was a touch too sweet. Fish tacos were quite respectable, with a good breading, a great sour tomatillo salsa, plenty of lime, and another sour-slaw. The weakest spot was a General Tso with tofu. It had a bit too much sugar in its sauce, but also some good, slightly bitter broccolini and more of that nicely fried tofu. Vegetarians might be frustrated to be choosing between this entrée, a Thai sounding peanut-noodle, and a veggie burger.

Re: Roasted chestnuts?
I cut mine horizontally and put into a skillet cover them and let them go for at least half an hour at very low heeat, shaking the skillet now and then or just making them go upside down to get roasted all around. I have a special pan with holes express for chestnuts but your kitchen will be covered with burnt stuff and I remember they were never well cooked.
I hope this helps you

Re: Roasted chestnuts?
If you have an open fire, the really traditional way is to get a good fire going, remove the Ash Pan and give it a good brushing out. pierce the skin of the chestnut with a fork, throw them into the as can and put it back under the fire, and wait for them to pop.
Snatch them from the ash pan, (burning your fingers of course) peel them and eat, with perhaps just a slight sprinkling of salt.
Thats the way we used to do it 50+ years ago, when there were coal fires in every home.
These days, I reckon the best way is to heat a large dutch oven or cast iron casserole in the oven on its highest heat. When scorching hot, throw in the pricked chestnuts and proceed as above.

Re: Roasted chestnuts?
I often see already cooked chestnuts being put into a tea towel and wrapped up for a while, I do not know if this is to let them cool a little or do damp them.
I have a closed by a glass caminetto and the ash is collected under the fire in a sort of casserole , do you mean that Geoff, and would you put the chestnuts there under the griglia? not at all in contact with the fire??

Re: Roasted chestnuts?
I do mine in the oven...slice a cross in the top (makes them really easy to peel if you use a cross instead of just one cut I find), preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, bake for 25 minutes on a cookie sheet. I usually wrap them in a damp towel to cool.

Re: Roasted chestnuts?
hahah depends which chestnuts you get and on the variety, however some can be really sweet and delicious especially on a cold night. Coming from an Italian background we do have chestnuts every now and then and just cut them on top like an "X" mark horizontally and then vertically a few millimeters deep on the top so they don't explode in the oven. Just putting them in a roasting tray with the cuts on top at about a high 230 degrees will only take around 10 to 15 minutes. Then's the fun part of peeling them whilst juggling the heat :P Enjoy!

Re: Roasted chestnuts?
I make only an horizontal cut side the flat surface, not to let them dry too much and put them in the skillet on the fornello for half an hour at minimo. I bought marroni, the big ones, last time I did them with two cuts they dried and did not cook inside, and they did not peel either

Fix damaged walls with these DIY repairs you can do. Don't melt down if a doorknob, misguided chair or an impromptu hockey game knocks a big hole in your drywall. With a little patience, a little joint compound and a few dabs of paint even a novice can complete a near invisible wall repair.
Photo 1: Draw a rectangle around the break with a straightedge or square. Look or put your hand through the break to feel for wires or other obstructions. Then cut out the section with a drywall saw or utility knife.
Photo 2: Insert 1x4 backer boards at each end of the hole and drive a pair of 1-1/4-in. drywall screws through the drywall into the boards to anchor them. Fit and screw a drywall patch to the boards.
Photo 3: Lay a 1/8-in.-thick bed of drywall compound over the joints and press paper tape into the compound with a flexible 6-in. knife. Immediately apply a thin layer of compound on top of the tape. Allow to dry.
Photo 4: Apply a second coat of compound, drawing it at least 6 in. beyond the edge of the first coat to taper the edges of the repair. Let dry, then add a third coat to smooth any remaining uneven areas.
Photo 5: Sand the dry compound lightly with 100-grit sandpaper to remove ridges and blend edges. Prime and paint.
Before cutting out the damaged area, check the wall for obstructions. Often you'll find a wire, pipe or duct (Photo 1). If so, work carefully around them with a drywall or keyhole saw. Or make a shallow cut by repeatedly scoring the line with a sharp utility knife. It's easier to add backer board than to try to cut the drywall over studs (Photo 2). Cut the backer boards about 4 in. longer than the height of the hole. Pine or other soft wood works well. Hold them tight to the backside of the drywall when fastening them. Hold the boards carefully so the screw points won't prick your fingers if they pop out the backside. The drywall screws will draw the boards in tight. Sink the screwheads slightly below the drywall surface.
Measure the thickness of the drywall (most likely 1/2 in.), and look for a large enough scrap from a damaged piece at a home center, rather than buy a full 4 x 8-ft. sheet. Cut it to size and screw it into place, spacing the screws every 6 in. Taping the edges of the patch to make it invisible is the trickiest part of the job (Photos 3 and 4). Buy a gallon tub of drywall compound and a roll of paper tape. You can use mesh tape, but it isn't as strong. If you have a lot of repairs, also buy a sack of 20-minute setting compound. It hardens quickly and doesn't shrink, so it's ideal for filling cracks and gaps before applying the joint tape. For smoothest results, also pick up flexible 6- and 10-in. taping knives.
Apply a coat of compound and tape to each joint (Photo 3). Thin the compound a bit with water to help embed the tape. Smooth the tape with the 6-in. knife, pulling out from the center toward each end. Squeeze some, but not all, of the compound out from under the tape so you don't create a big hump on the wall. Immediately apply a light coating to the topside of the tape, tapering it out onto the wall.
The second and third coats are to blend and smooth the taped joints so they'll be invisible when painted. After each coat is dry, set a straightedge against the wall to check for obvious dips and bumps. Knock off bumps and ridges with your taping knife. Add more coats as needed. Then sand, prime and paint.
When possible, leave a few inches of drywall at corners so you won't have to spread taping compound onto adjacent walls or ceilings and repaint them as well!
Photo 1: Drive a popped nail below the surface of the drywall with a hammer and a nail set. Cut away loose joint compound and paper shreds.
Photo 2: Drive drywall screws about 1-1/2 in. above and below the popped nail. Sink the screwhead just below the surface of the drywall.
Photo 3: Fill the holes with joint compound, swiping first across the holes, then down. Let dry, apply a second coat, then sand, prime and paint.
Small holes caused by screws or hooks, wall fasteners or drywall fasteners that pop up are simple to repair, but again time consuming because you almost always have to repaint the walls. Nail pops are common and particularly irritating, because you're likely to have more than one. But drywall screws sometimes pop up too, as a result of damp framing that dries out and shrinks during the first year or two in new construction.
The first step of the fix is to drive nails back down using a nail set (Photo 1). If you have screws, dig the drywall compound from their heads with a utility knife and turn them in tight with a screwdriver.
Then dimple the hole slightly concave with a hammer to indent any raised edges. But take care not to crush the drywall core. In addition, cut away any paper tears with a sharp utility knife. This is a good technique to use with old wall fasteners as well. It's usually easier to tap them into the wall slightly rather than pull them out.
Two coats of drywall compound, applied with two swipes of the knife in a "+" pattern, should fill the holes (Photo 3). The first coat will shrink a bit, leaving a slightly smaller dent to be filled by the second coat. Scrape the excess off the surrounding wall so you don't build up a hump. Sand lightly to blend with the surrounding wall. Be sure to prime the spot. Otherwise the topcoat will absorb into the patch and make the area look different from the surrounding paint. And use a roller when priming to help raise the surface texture to match the surrounding wall.
Twenty-minute setting compound is a great product for filling deep holes and gaps and for your first taping coat because, unlike regular joint compound, it hardens quickly without shrinking. That means less time spent filling. And you can apply a second coat of compound as soon as the first hardens. You don't have to wait for it to dry completely.
For most uses, buy the lightweight type. It comes as a powder in sacks. Mix only what you can use in about 10 minutes. It hardens quickly, often in your pan if you're too slow! Completely clean your pan and knife before mixing a new batch. Otherwise it'll harden even faster! To avoid clogging the sink drain, throw leftover compound into the trash.
Photo 1: Cut through the tape at the ends of the cracked area and slice, scrape and tear away all loose tape and compound.
Photo 2: Apply a 1/8-in. layer of joint compound, then fold and press paper tape into it. Stroke the length of the tape, squeezing compound out on both sides. Let dry.
Photo 3: Apply second and third coats to smooth the joint, tapering the compound about 6 in. out. Let one side dry before applying compound to the other side.
Photo 4: Lightly sand the finished repair using a fine-grit sanding sponge to make a crisp corner. Prime and paint to match the existing wall.
Every home settles unevenly as it ages. This sometimes causes inside corners to crack or ripple. Often the crack will run from floor to ceiling. Once you spot this problem, watch it for two to three months for continued movement and fix it after all movement stops.
The key to renewing the strength of the corner is to remove all loose tape and drywall compound (Photo 1). If the drywall below has crumbled, cut it away with your utility knife and fill the gap with setting compound.
Retape the joint following the techniques shown in Step 1. Crease the paper tape down the middle so it fits into the corner easily (Photo 2). It's difficult to spread compound smoothly on one side of the corner without marring the other side. The trick is to apply compound for the second and third coats only on one side at a time. Let the one side dry, then do the other side.
Finally, buy a fine-grit sanding sponge to smooth the corners (Photo 4). It'll do a nice job without gouging.

Wayne Law Associate Professor Noah Hall publishes book on water law
DETROIT — Wayne State University Associate Professor Noah D. Hall is co-author of a new casebook, Modern Water Law: Private Property, Public Rights, and Environmental Protections.
Hall co-wrote the book with Robert W. Adler, interim dean and James I. Farr Chair in Law at the University of Utah's S.J. Quinney College of Law, and Robin K. Craig, the William H. Leary Professor of Law at Quinney.
The book, published by Foundation Press, provides a comprehensive text to study the range of legal issues and doctrines that affect water resources. Modern Water Law is divided into three parts: Private Property Rights to Use Water, Public Rights and Interests in Water, and Environmental Protection of Water Resources.
"Legal disputes over water can be especially challenging because they often involve important rights and values that are in direct conflict and thus must be balanced and compromised," Hall said. "Modern Water Law explores how the legal system allocates, manages and protects our most important natural resource."
The book is national in scope and covers the most current issues and challenges in the field, such as ecosystem protection and restoration, the energy-water nexus and adaptation to climate change. It also reexamines historic legal doctrines, such as the public trust doctrine and governmental takings of property rights, in light of modern water policy values and goals.
The book was written with a focus on "teachability," Hall said. "Most chapters are designed to be taught in two class sessions, and professors can easily teach the entire text in a three-credit course."
Hall's expertise is in environmental and water law, and he is widely published and quoted on the topics. His research focuses on issues of environmental governance, federalism, and transboundary pollution and resource management.
Hall of Ann Arbor graduated from the University of Michigan Law School and the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment, concentrating on environmental policy. Before he joined Wayne Law's faculty, he taught at the University of Michigan Law School and was an attorney with the National Wildlife Federation, where he managed the Great Lakes Water Resources Program for the nation's largest conservation organization. Hall also worked in private practice for several years. He has extensive litigation experience and numerous published decisions in state and federal courts, and continues to represent a variety of clients in significant environmental policy disputes.

What time of the year is a good time to set swarm traps in east Tennessee
What time of the year is a good time to set swarm traps in east Tennessee
Its a little early at this point. I will have mine out by mid-February. Last year I had traps out March 1, and caught one swarm near the end of March.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
My trap are newly built so they have the sent of new wood I have to use new frames and foundation as well should the be set a little early for that new sent to evaporate.
What do you use for attraction.
Around here it's just about dandelion bloom in normal years. Last year was weird, swarms were erratic and HUGE -- a buddy of mine weighed his, and it was almost 9 lbs of bees! Not as many as usual, though, and none after mid April, then a rash of very small swarms in September and into October for some reason, which is NOT normal around here.
Walt Wright does his checker boarding about 8 weeks before apple blossom in order to head off swarming, so think maybe 4 weeks before apple blossom of swarms to start emerging. Depending on weather, the date could move a week or more in either direction, with the usual pattern being swarms on the first warm, low wind day after cool or wet weather during swarm season.
You may be able to find LGO at local health food store. Or order online, I bought mine at:
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
if you have them outside now, the 'new scent of the wood will wear off.
i caught several in new boxes last year. i had good success with mann lake's swarm lure.
this year, i will have some drawn brood comb to add as a lure.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Thanks for the info
I do it pretty much as Rader. -js
James Wagner
How far away from my bee hives should I hang a trap, in case they swarm while I'm at work. Also, I know where a bee tree is. Do bees normally swarm every year from a bee tree? If so, how far from the bee tree should I place a swarm trap? Thanks in advance.
i had mine from 50-200 yards away. i used single deeps, with a reduced entrance, and swarm lure. once caught, i added a frame of brood. i would guess they probably do swarm each year. check the tree in late february on a warm day. if there are bees there, you'll at least know they were good enough to make it through last season and survive winter.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
If you have no drawn comb at all I would leave out the foundation. Maybe even try a shallow tin of honey on the bottom board to encourage visitors. I am surmising you don't have any colonies yet.

[QUOTE= try a shallow tin of honey on the bottom board to encourage visitors[/QUOTE]
Poor suggestion. This will attract ants that definitely discourage swarms. I make sure all my bait combs are freshly extracted and dried by other hives before using them.
I got ¾ of a deep frame that fell out last year. You think I would be putting it a frame or melting it in the entrance? I got two swarms last year in new boxes and was wondering if the new box smell put them off. I may build some more this year (depending on how my ADD keeps me in the shop and changing projects) I also got a mouse that tore up my old comb tore it up pretty good and was thinking ½ hardware cloth over the inside of the holes. Maybe a type of a rotating hole cover like OD has shown (I think they were his circles) made from some flashing so I am not trying to cut traps out of trees and staple hardware cloth in the entrance in the dark.
Why do we fall, sir? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up Alfred Pennyworth Batman Begins (2005)
Does a new box smell different than a old live tree? I would put the comb in a frame.
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
So, if I use a deep hive as a trap, I shouldn't put racks and new foundation in it? I have never tried to catch a swarm with a swarm trap. I would sure like to add a couple new hives to my yard without paying $100. Plus, the swarms I have caught in a tree work better for me than the package bees. If I don't have any old cone, what should I put in the trap?
leave the trap empty, until they go in, then add one frame of brood and foundation.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Frames with foundation are better than an empty box in my opinion. Even ratty old comb that's been attacked by wax moths is OK so long as you remove the webbing, the bees are looking for a previously used hive.
I've found a spare empty brood comb gets them all excited, they will move from a box without one into a box with one if given the opportunity. Again, it doesn't have to be a good one, just one that's had brood in it and is more more less intact.
They will build comb on that foundation in a heartbeat. They will build comb on empty frames, too, but not necessarily where you want them to -- a buddy of mine had to put a couple frames of foundation in to get them to quit building across the frames last year.
I have 5 colonies that are looking very healthy at this point I was wanting to use all my drawn comb to get my hives going in the spring but if I have it avalable in early spring I may use some for traps.
I really appreciate you guys for giving me some info on the best way to catch a swarm. I know I prolly lost a couple of swarms last year. I hope I haven't crossed the line and hijacked this thread. I hated to start a new thread about the same thing.


text: The tribe has spoken, and I didn't even have to clap anyone in the stocks for moaning about mis-voting. The winner is Alexei Yagudin, and Daisuke Takahashi is the runner up! The original contestants were the last twelve men to win a World or Olympic championship. The final order of finish was: Alexei Yagudin (1st) Daisuke Takahashi (2nd) Stéphane Lambiel (3rd) Evgeni Plushenko (4th) Ilia Kulik (5th) Patrick Chan (6th) Brian Joubert (7th) Jeffrey Buttle (8th) Elvis Stojko (9th) Evan Lysacek (10th) Todd Eldredge (11th) Alexei Urmanov (12th) I must confess that I engaged in a little strategic voting along the way. However, if it were up to me, I would have ranked them something like this: Yagudin A great competitor who was able to deliver when it mattered, with style, class, and both artistic and technical ability that was close to the top. Maybe he wasn't the best in every single category of skills, but overall, he is clearly the best. Chan He has the best skating skills and very difficult technical content. He isn't quite there yet on interpretation and performance and execution, but he's higher up on my list than some very, very good skaters. Plushenko He does not appeal to my aesthetic, he apparently cannot incorporate transitions or decent choreography into his programs and still do all his big tricks, and, like many Russians, he has crappy sit spin positions, but his competitive record is formidable and, when he's on, he has the best jumps in the business. Lambiel A tough call between him and Takahashi, but I give him the not because he has much more artistic range. He is one of several skaters on this list who I feel did not fully live up to his potential. Takahashi If he were to win the next World Championship, I would rank him above Lambiel. Lysacek Another tough call, but I would rank him over Kulik simply because he achieved more, and his non-jump elements are better. If he had worked on fixing his triple axel a couple of seasons earlier, this would be an easier call. Kulik Too much of a flash in the pan for me to rank him any higher. Nice jumps and skating skills, though. Joubert He gets the nod over Buttle just because he was much more consistent at the championship level. Oh, and he's a better jumper too. In my book, though, he's the biggest underachiever of these twelve. Buttle The best of these at skating to music, which, on some level, is what the sport is all about. It's too bad he wasn't able to skate at the level he did in Gothenburg in 2008 more often. Stojko By far the biggest overachiever here. His skating skills, non-jump elements, and presentation are inferior to all the others on this list. But he won three World Championships. A couple of the others didn't win any. So he goes here. Eldredge Not much soul to his skating, but overall, his accomplishments are greater than Urmanov's. Urmanov On paper, his competitive record isn't that much weaker than Kulik's. But Kulik's actual programs are that much better. It's a pity that his injuries kept him from achieving more. Ask me again in a few months, and I might come up with a very different ranking. Your thoughts?

In today's mobile news roundup: Developers report iPhone 6 and iOS 7 already in the works; Samsung's bid to seal sales data denied; and Google Project Glass still under development.
Developers report iPhone 6 and iOS 7 already in the works
Even before a new product hits shelves, you can bet that a company is already hard at work on their next "big thing." So it isn't really a surprise when developers started reporting that they've been seeing identifiers for a new iPhone and iOS. According to developers, Apple is already testing hardware with iPhone6,1 identifier powered by the monile operating system iOS 7.
According to The Next Web, who received the reports from developers, "the app requests originate from an IP address on Apple's Cupertino campus, suggesting that members of Apple's software development and app teams are compatibility testing some of the more popular or well-known applications already on the App Store."
In other Apple news, their "Do Not Disturb" feature, which allows users to set specific schedules to silence their phones, may have experienced a glitch as 2012 transitioned to 2013. Some users reported that the feature was turned on though it was outside of the specified schedule. Though a number of people reported the same concern, it doesn't seem to have affected everyone. Apple has yet to comment on the issue.
And the Apple Store in Paris was hit, three hours after closing, and the robbers allegedly took as much as one million euros worth of products though that number has yet to be confirmed. According to the authorities, the robbers timed their action perfectly, as most of the police force were patrolling Champs-Elysées for the New Year celebration. Also aiding the kleptos was the fact that "large boulevards near the store situated just behind the Palais Garnier opera house, led to several different parts of the city," helping them get away unnoticed.
Samsung's bid to seal sales data denied
In the ongoing court battle between Apple and Samsung, the South Korean company's bid to keep sales data sealed was denied by US District Judge Lucy Koh, who has been overseeing the case.
Last year, Judge Koh sided with Apple and fined Samsung over a billion dollars for infringing six of Apple's patents. Samsung filed an appeal to overturn, or at least reduce the fine, which Apple welcomed, and filed an appeal of their own for possible additional damages. In an order issued yesterday, Judge Koh stated that Samsung's appeal involves them divulging sales data of certain products during certain time periods. But in a separate order, the judge granted Samsung's request to delay publication of a part of a document which showed per unit operating profit for two of their devices.
Google Project Glass still under development
In June 2012, Google unveiled Project Glass, or Google Glass, to the public, which received much applause. Everyone was excited, but alas, it wasn't available for purchase back then, and unfortunately, six months after the big reveal, it's still not available for purchase.
According to Babak Parviz, head of the Google Glass project, they're still polishing the product before it gets released, equipping it with the right type of battery so that you can use Google Glass for a full day, as well as other features that would add value to the wearer. Developers who have pre-booked Google Glass are expected to receive their devices by the second half of 2013, as for the consumer version, we may have to wait until the end of 2013 or possibly 2014 to get our hands on this seemingly revolutionary product.

What I did
chew lam dam
Khao Sok is Thailand's 1st protected reserve. Part of the oldest rainforest in the world, full of lizards, monkeys, snakes and tigers are said to live here. There is an area to the east that was flooded for a dam and looks incredible from the maps. I've been told it's Thailand's Guilin and I can't wait to see it!
The next morning the giant karsks were playing peek-a-boo in and out of the morning mist. One moment you'd see a faded craig and then it would be gone, but another higher up would pop out. It only functioned to build anticipation for what was coming beyond the horizon at Chew Lam Lake. No longer used for hydro electrics, instead all that's left is an other-worldy landscape. Some kind of cross between jurassic park and avatar. Soon we were surrounded by sheer
When we disembarked from the boat to start the hike, we could hear a gibbon in a far off tree serenading us – like some sort of good omen for the hike. The haunting sounds added a sense of serenity to our walk.
Into the dense jungle and farther from the gibbon's cry, we couldn't even see the mountain we were circling. Back and forth across the river we would follow all afternoon, we finally came to the cave the river was entering into. Now I didn't think it would be possible to tip hiking up a waterfall. But hiking down a river with waterfalls whilst IN a cave did! For almost a kilometre and a hour in the pitch dark we walked. Past the spiders and bats and through all kinds of conditions. At one point, we needed to crab walk through a cravasse which was too narrow at
Ah! Another reason to love travelling in Thailand! No safety restrictions. No waivers. No health assessments. No nothing – just go! Interesting how the print-ups say there 'may be some swimming inside the cave' and nothing else. And the stories of people who have died in that cave are only told AFTER finishing...
The lake had another treat for us as a reward for our accomplishments. With the sun setting the mountains put on fresh faces in the different light for us to gaze at.

Sketch the graph of $xy(x^2 - y^2) = x^2 + y^2$ consisting of four curves and a single point at the origin. Convert to polar form. Describe the symmetries of the graph.
This polar equation is a quadratic. Plot the graph given by each
factor to draw the flower.
Often when we want to indicate the position of an object, we refer to its distance and direction. We can use a coordinate system based on this, giving the distance from an origin and a direction as an angle measured anticlockwise from the horizontal.
Here is a map of Scotland.
The grid on this map measures from an origin at Edinburgh, and the lines indicate distances from Edinburgh at 20km intervals.
Lines are marked radiating from Edinburgh at $15^\circ$ or $\frac{\pi}{12}$ radian intervals.
Dundee is to the north and slightly to the east of Edinburgh. I need to travel a distance of approximately 60km in a direction $\frac{5\pi}{12}$ anticlockwise from the horizontal.
I can express the position of Dundee in polar coordinates as $(60, \frac{5\pi}{12})$.
The distance coordinate is usually called $r$, and the direction is $\theta$, so a polar coordinate pair is $(r, \theta)$.
Can you express the position of some other places on the map using polar coordinates?
By giving a functional relationship between $r$ and $\theta$, we can represent curves on the polar coordinate plane. Can you sketch the following functions?
a) $r=2$
b) $\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}$
c) $r=\theta$
Here are some sketches of curves. You can choose where to put the origin.
Which ones do you think it would be easier to express in Cartesian $(x,y)$ coordinates?
Which ones do you think would be easier to express in Polar $(r, \theta)$ coordinates?
Are there any graphs where you could easily use either coordinate system?
If the origin had been specified, how might it have affected your decision?
Try to find functional forms, in either cartesian or polar coordinates, to create graphs that closely resemble those above.
You may wish to use graph plotting software to help you; some useful graphing tools can be found here.

And this one I found on the net, no real details and it looks like a generic conversion. I was just looking at the X & Y setups, I was thinking of angling the X so the motor is up rather then below the table.

After 3 years of cnc I hit a glitch. In the middle of a complex part, rhe computer harddrive failed. I have a new computer and am trying to get it back up
That sucks
If the hard drive in your new pc isn't too big or expensive, you might want to add another one the same size just as a backup unit.
And a friend is delaying me a few weeks in buying the ball screws & nuts that I was going to order this weekend, he's thinning out some of his gun stuff and I can't pass this one up, he's selling a litely used Hornady Lock-N-Load AP press with some extras well below the cheapest price I can find on the net. At this price I can't pass it up.
So I'll most likely have to wait until next month to order those parts.
OK now a program question, which anyone can answer.
What's a good but easy to use CAD program or whatever is needed to design stuff, by easy I mean for "a complete idiot" style one, free would be best but a trial version that you have to buy is ok too.
And it has to work with Mach3, this seems like the standard for the home user.
I want to start messing with the programs a while, I think it will take me some time to figure them out, so I might as well get a head start on them
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Here's the X axis double ball-nut setup, stack of spring washers between ball nuts to keep tension between them:
Same thing on the Y:
I built my own controller one part at a time and stuffed it all in an old computer case. I added a 4th axis after this photo was taken, luckily I left room for another gecko drive:
I started out trying to position the Z axis like this, but it didn't work well enough because of the slop in the geartrain:
And ended up going this route:
I made the 4th axis from a stepper driven rotary stage I found on Ebay and adapted a little 3 jaw chuck to it. It's been very handy for making replacement gears:
My uncle gave me the mill so I had nothing in it. I already had a Bridgeport and didn't see a need for two manual mills. I started out with an idea that I should be able to make the conversion toCNC for about $800 since I made a lot of the mechanical parts myself, I think I ended up with about $1100 in it when it was all done. Whatch what you buy on Ebay with regards to controller boards, I learned the hard way (but this was many years ago).
Thank you very much for adding the pics Holescreek, gives me more ideas to use.
I was planning to get the Gecko driver that VZ posted on the first page, the four axis in one unit style, because I was thinking a powered rotary would be nice to add later.
I heard about most of the stuff on eBay being low quality, I did look on there for ball screws & nuts but none of it had any brand names I've seen others recommend, so I'll just buy a brand name I've heard of.
One question for now
I like how you got the Z axis setup on that, and think I understand how you did it. But in that first pic of the rotary, what is that metal flat bar thing on the left side of the Z (it's black with a weld)?
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
That welded bar holds the adjustable stops for the home and limit switches. The bar moves up and down with the spindle while the switches are mounted to the side of the mill head.
The Z axis works a little differently than most I've seen. I actually rotate the ball nut with the stepper motor instead of the ball screw. I have the ball nut captured between thrust bearings and the end of the ball screw is fixed where it attaches to the ram.
I ended up getting a good breakout board here: CNC4PC
My original board came from Ebay and had so many glitches I thought I really screwed something up badly. Swaped in the new board and all the problems went away.
Back when I built my conversion Gecko was just getting into the 4 in one drives and had just came out with the V203 "vampire" drive. I'm kind of old fashion in that I think that separate drives make more sense. If one goes out I can swap the 4th drive out and keep running 3 axis until the replacement gets here. But in reality, I've been running the system for over 5 years without a hiccup.
I bought a 6' ball screw from Rockford and turned the journals myself. Be warned: this is the hardest stuff I've ever machined! I was having no success getting through the case hardened top layer with carbide inserts and had to switch out the carbide insert for a diamond. Once I got through the first .03" or so the carbide worked fine.
OK for the limit switches, nice and simple design.
And on your Z, I'm a little confused with the part about "turning the ball nut with the motor". I understand what your saying, I just can't picture it functioning and how you mounted it all. Like how is the pulley attached to it?
Are you using those square shaped ball nuts, or the fancy looking round ones?
Thanks for the link to CNC4PC, added them to my list.
I'll be asking more about the electronics later, I mainly want to figure out the ball screws and mounting them up first.
And thanks for the warning about the hardness of the ball screw, VZ mentioned it earlier.

I got my dial pin gauges for determining L/S size from MSC direct. They're quality and came at a very good price. Gunthings sells them too I believe as a set.
As for a replacement L/S, you might try swapping with someone on the trader boards. Seems there's always someone looking to make an even trade for a different size (been there before). Otherwise, Gunthings, Gun Parts Guy (recommended), or someone at the Fal Files are your best bets. HTH.

I thought I read in Skating magazine that Easterns were the same weekend as Mids this year. Now this http://www.usfigureskating.org/Story.asp?id=30307 says Pacs are the same weekend as Mids and Easterns are still TBD. If Easterns could be the next weekend I'd be eternally grateful. Please skate gods! Three and a half hours to Pelham and four and a half to Atlanta. Skating dosen't get any closer than that for me.
Crap! I just realized that the following weekend is Thanksgiving weekend. Does anybody know if Sectionals has ever bee held over Thanksgiving weekend?

Term: one
One: Number Symbolism in Tarot: One is the first number, so it symbolizes leadership. It's an obvious symbol of unity and singularity. The number one can even be thought of as a thesis—an original statement of thought, belief, and perception, still unchallenged by other competing ideas. One also represents the source of all existence. In the Tarot, every numbered card in a Minor Arcana suit is said to originate within the ace of that suit. As such, the number one symbolized fertility, and the potential and possibility of every new beginning. That symbolism is reinforced by the graphic nature of both the Arabic numeral 1 of the Roman numeral I. Both shapes resemble phallic symbols. Even as a geometric figure, the number one is illustrated as a single point—a dot, which could represent either an egg or a sperm.
source: Tarot for Writers, by Corrine Kenner
One: One is considered a lucky number as it is indivisible, and when multiplied by itself remains the same. One is associated with God, the intellect, purity, and the sun. Children born on the 1st of the month are believed to be enterprising, independent and lucky.
source: The Encyclopedia of Superstitions, by Richard Webster
On the Kabalistic Tree of Life, one is the number of Kether, or Crown, the topmost sephirah. This is the first manifestation of the Divine that can be known. Above it is the lowest of the Three Veils of Negative Existence, the unknowable or transcendent Divine.
Uniting opposites and bringing them to unity, one, plays an important role in several forms of spirituality and magick. For example, basic sex magick can be described as 1+1=1 (one positive form of sexual energy, typically a "male" combined with one negative form of energy, typically a "female," produces one magickal result).

Love mine. A friend has a PM9, and we have shot them together. Triggers and controls are the same. You can't tell the difference at the range.
I think that the PM9 has a dovetailed front sight vs. a staked sight on the CM9, and polygonal vs. cut rifling. The external machining on the slide is a little different, and the slide stop is a different construction. The differences save you a little money. I think the CMP9 is a great value. Good Luck!

Culinary students cook for Mother's Day
BRISTOL, Va. - Many people spend Mother's Day pampering their moms; for some, that meant giving them a break from the kitchen.
On Sunday some families went to the Southeast Culinary and Hospitality College in Bristol, Virginia to enjoy their day and give students some experience in the kitchen.
This is a yearly tradition that benefits both moms and students.
Chef Richard Erskine tells us around 200 people in the Tri-Cities chose to skip the dirty dishes and treat themselves to brunch this year. "We don't want mom to cook. So they need to go out to restaurants, we take care of them. Even restaurants that have a lot of moms working there, we know in the restaurant business we have to work to make sure we take care of other moms," he added.
We learned the students cook all of the meals and all of the tips were divided between staff, along with the college's scholarship fund.

|Check-in before
The apartment is very close to the beach and very well equipped. It was also very clean.
Helene and Jerome were friendly and helpful.
We spent a wonderful time in Cannes and we would book the apartment again.
Modern and nice, clean appartment. We stayed for the Cannes Lions and enjoyed our stay very much. 5 min walking distance to the croisette. Hélène is very nice, friendly and relaxed. I can recommend her and the appartment 100%!
It was a perfect place and location for our first trip to Cannes.
Safe, clean and well equipped. The host was really nice and thougthful too.
I would defenitely recommend this place to others!
The host is very nice and makes you feel comfortable even if you are in a traffic jam and arrive later than expected. Great location, perfectly near to Beaches, Le Croisette and city center in a nice and safe environment. A bakery and a small supermarket are just 50m away. FREE parking in the streets around the building. A great balcony and a private roof terrace with BBQ and shower :-) The appartment has all comfort you need for a great stay and is clean and nice. Maybe some details could be improved to get five stars (e.g. a bit saggy mattress). The appartment is perfect and spacious for 2persons, but also with more it should be fine because of separate areas. We will come back next time :-)
We had a wonderful stay here. The apartment was a perfect location for where we had to be everyday. Helene was punctual when we arrived and very accommodating throughout our stay.
We would go back.
Perfect stay in nice, modern, sunny and big apartment near Croisette. Helene is very polite and helpful person. Thank u and see u in next year! :) Neli
Our say in Cannes was wonderful, beautiful place. we stayed (2 Persons) at Flat Near Beaches and Croisette, "La Rotonde" for one week. The apartment was very nice, clean, new renovated, fully equipped, very comfotable with a balcony. Close to La Croisette and beautiful beach, 5 minutes, located behind Hotel Martinez. Bus transport very close and frequently, for 1.5 Euro you can visit many places. You have the railway very close and you can see and hear the trains from the balcony, but with closed windows it is very quiet (in September, I don't know in summer).
The host, Hélene is very kind and helpful.
Wimdu is a good option if you want to make reservations, very good address and has a lot of flats to diferent prices and locations. They charge a comission for reservations and you get answers very quick.
Apartment was very nice and well located but a little bit hot despite mobile air conditioning.
Very nice, modern and functional apartment.
We had very pleasant barbecues on the roof terrace with a beautiful sunset.
To recommend: ficelle and michette from Cesarina bakery on the same street as apartment(50m) and fish shop and butcher on Avenue de Lerins. We parked on the street and it was peaceful and quiet area with old ladies who walked with their small dogs :)
Close to the beaches, we liked the child-friendly Bijou Plage.
Helene è una persona cordiale e puntuale.Piacevole appartamento pulito,luminoso comodo ai servizi, vicino alla spiaggia . Consigliabile. A presto Giovanna.

I'm new to beekeeping this year, and I have a hive that I just can't figure out. I installed a package of bees on April 27th. They completely drew out one medium super but would not move up to the second box and then swarmed on June 11th. After that, I moved some drawn frames with nectar/pollen up to second box and that seemed to draw them up. They had two mediums almost completely drawn out so I added a third. That was about a month ago and they just weren't doing anything in it, but I figured it was due to the dearth and they just didn't have much to bring in. Now, on September 22nd they swarmed again! The last time I went completely through this hive was a couple weeks ago and I didn't see any queen cells, so they must have started building them right after I went through the last time. So answer me this:
1) Why is this particular hive to darn stubborn to move up into an empty medium so they don't get too crowded???
2) Why would they swarm this late in the year when winter is right around the corner???
3) What could I have done to prevent this?
These bees are crazy. Twice they swarmed because they apparently didn't know which way was up... Now I'm afraid they have grown too small to over winter...only about 15 medium frames worth of bees...should I combine them with another hive?

So you would consider trading Eli who has carried this team numerous times over a player who is just getting his ears wet in this league?
If I'm starting a franchise with zero history with either player, yes I'm taking Kapernick over Eli. Like i stated at the beggining of the game before the rest of the world caught up, "Kapernick is the most physically gifted QB in the NFL"

Not sold on this QB. Green Bay has such a bad defense they are making him look better.

Brett Prebble spent about eight minutes on the back of Melbourne Cup winner Green Moon last Tuesday afternoon and earned A$360,000.
Damien Oliver rode Happy Trails to success in the main race at Flemington on Saturday and picked up A$60,000.
On most Saturdays in Melbourne or Sydney, the best jockeys will earn more than surgeons, more than the top lawyers and over a year they are capable of taking home about as much as the heads of banks.
They also perform one of the most dangerous occupations on earth, not all of them are good at it, many are too fat to get a lot of rides and their careers can be shortened by injury.
But on the risk-and-reward measure, they do all right.
Oliver, who on Tuesday was charged with breaches of the rules of racing that could cost him his licence to print money, has owned bars, businesses, he has an extensive property portfolio and more.
He is, however, one of the best.
Even a good average jockey is able to earn a decent living. In NSW and Victoria, they receive A$175 minimum for every ride they take. With seven-day-a-week racing, 15 or 20 rides a week isn't a difficult target.
And all will ride a winner one day and be eligible for 5 per cent of the prizemoney their horse wins.
An unwritten rule used to exist by which owners paid jockeys - and trainers - an extra 5 per cent.
Or there would be a nudge and a wink and a suggestion that the owner would have something on for the rider.
Since training costs have risen and economies have taken downward turns, the "extra five" hasn't been so readily offered. But some jockeys see it as their entitlement, particularly in the biggest races.
The rider of a recent Caulfield Cup winner, for instance, sent the lucky owners a bill for around A$80,000 on top of his 5 per cent.
Clearly there is big money to be made by good jockeys. But some simply can't help themselves.
Oliver bet with his own money, presumably, and there's no suggestion he rode his own horse suspiciously in the race on which he admits he bet $10,000 on the winner.
A lot of detail will come out at next week's inquiry into Oliver's bet.
But probably the only answer to the question of why a multimillionaire jockey wants to risk it all for a comparative pittance will be the simple one.
Because they can.

Beyond the movies, Iger needed to know Lucasfilm had a stockpile of similarly rich material�aka intellectual property�for more Star Wars installments. As any serious aficionado knows, there were always supposed to be nine. But how would Disney assess the value of an imaginary galaxy? What, for example, was its population?
Asked whether members of the original Star Wars cast will appear in Episode VII and if he called them before the deal closed to keep them informed, Lucas says, �We had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison�or we were pretty much in final stages of negotiation. So I called them to say, �Look, this is what�s going on.� � He pauses. �Maybe I�m not supposed to say that. I think they want to announce that with some big whoop-de-do, but we were negotiating with them.� Then he adds: �I won�t say whether the negotiations were successful or not.�
