Hi, I go by Giz and write the perzine Cheaptoys
Cheaptoys was started in 2009 in the French Riviera, to write down the stories of punk there. Since then, I travelled with the zine and published issues in Bloomington, Indiana, Melbourne & Montréal. Originally published entirely in french, issues since #4 have been written partly in french and partly in english, making it only accessible entirely to people using both languages, or committed enough to translate it.
Topics have included many reflexions on punk and anarchism, personnal narratives, punk band stories, travel mishaps, and a growing interest for radical libraries. Most of the issues are still printed and distributed by the punk label Bus Stop Press, in south-east france, and come in a A6/quarter sized italian format.
As of july 2014, 15 issues and three half issues were published. The ones in print are #6, 7, 11, 13, 14 & 15. 2€ postage paid worldwide from Bus Stop Press, but it might take some time. You can also get it from Fight Boredom in Montréal; Sticky Institute in Melbourne; Take Care in Sydney; le Syndrome de Galilée in Toulouse; Boxcar Books in Bloomington; IN Quimby's in Chicago and Portland button Works in Portland, OR.
Just to make sure, Cheaptoys is a text-heavy bilingual zine, french & english and parts aren't each other's translations. It is usually 50-50 but I guess the latest review in maximum rock'n'roll is true : "to get it all, you got to either read the two languages or like google translation a lot."
I've researched zines for quite some time, which became my master's thesis which I still didn't got time to work on and translate into english. I now live in Montreal, Québec. There, I'm a student at the library school and try to keep up with such rad projects as DIRA (montréal's anarchist library) and Open Doors Books (a book to prisonners program), and an unauthorised vegan soup kitchen on campus. I'm also doing a lot of studies as a lab rat and trying to learn new skills. I write for other zines too, and play in the band COPY SCAMS.
My favorite zines are by my friends, but for the rest, I'm up for trade for zines I would want to read. it includes topics such as anarchism, libraries and librarians, radical communities, punk, criticisms of punk & counter-culture, traveling stories, DIY research in social sciences & history, non-monogamous relationships, lab-rats, language (and especially want to read about non-binary ways to speak in latin languages), indigenous solidarity, anti-gentrification, living as an expatriate, queering "heterosexuality", experimentations with music, and surviving the winter. There's probably more. I do not want to read unsolicited poetry (well, ok, I kinda want to read the new cometbus issue), and I do not want to look-at contentless artsy zines.
I also do a blog to put pictures, and monthly reviews of stuff. there.
hello there, are you still active on this site? (: would be cool to get a zine from FRANCE.
We invite you to take part in the First International Exhibition "ZINESHOW" in Ukraine. Participation is free. Any technique. Any theme and format. No return. Deadline: 15/04/2013. Exhibition on the blog http://zineshow.blogspot.com All works will be exhibited also in the gallery "tymutopiyapres" http://tymutopiyapres.blogspot.com is not a commercial gallery. Welcomed but not "necessarily" summary of your zine or about you or your creative work (this is necessary for further elucidation of the project and possible documentation). Zines for the exhibition please send air mail: "Zineshow" A/C 9875, Sadivnycha 19/1, 79038, Lviv, Ukraine.
Hey Giz! Thanks for letting me know. I'm glad the letter and zine made it to you, at least! I hope you're doing well. I'm glad to be back in touch with you, I'd let too much time pass. I wasn't in a ziney frame of mind for a few months there but I'm feeling it again. :) It's nice. Warm wishes, hope you're very well.
I'm interested in ordering your zine! do you accept paypal to be paid?
Great! My email: email@example.com . So, have you finished your research? Are you close? Cécile told me you also play bass - so do I. Let's talk!

I have a problem. It's a good problem to have, all things considered, but it's still a problem. You see, there's a series of games made by Nintendo called Animal Crossing.
For those who don't know, Animal Crossing is a game which simulates living in a town populated by anthropomorphic animals. It's hard to really nail down what makes this series so appealing for most, but I'm not here to discuss that.
I'm here because I have to make a decision or two and I'd like some advice/input. You see, my interest in the series was reignited by the upcoming 3DS iteration. To say the least, I am anticipating it with great enthusiasm. So much so that I am thinking about breaking out the previous edition: Animal Crossing: City Folk for the Wii, and starting afresh in that.
And here's where the trouble starts. You see, there is a dark side to these games that many Nintendo fans know quite well. They are infamous for changing very little between entries. There are people out there who claim Mario and Zelda are always the same, those folks would probably have a conniption if they examined the changes between these.
Another wrinkle is the time frame. These games also simulate actual time passing, so you can forget seeing it all in a day or even a week or month (unless you time travel by messing with your system's clock, but I don't do that). The 3DS version is set to come out in North America at some point in the first half of 2013, for the sake of argument let's say April-May thereabouts. I could still in theory be playing it by then (especially depending on the outcome of my other question).
So here's the thing: I don't want to ruin the 3DS version of the game for myself by playing the Wii version. Nintendo has supposedly decided to overhaul more of the game to create an experience that is more varied from previous versions, but I don't know if I can depend on that, or even if said overhaul would be able to make the game feel different enough to justify playing the two games in tandem. Each game I've spent less and less time with. I chalked it up to being too much of the same, but it could be that the novelty of the game wore out after that first iteration. If that's the case, it's even more pertinent to keep myself from playing before the 3DS release, so that the concept remains "fresh" enough so that going back is still justified. All that being said, what do you all think? Should I start over playing Animal Crossing: City Folk in anticipation of the 3DS game?
This brings me to my second point of interest: I stream stuff. My last streaming project, which involved Super Mario Sunshine, died out when I sort of gave up interest and the first and two episodes were lost. So, I'm thinking about a new project, like, oh I don't know, Animal Crossing, maybe? I have a few ideas about to make this project a little different. Seeing as this game is very open ended, I thought it might be more interesting if I have other viewers set goals for me. Something else I'd like your input on is format, I've streamed before, but I've also recorded episodes and uploaded them to YouTube in the past. This one's gonna take a while, and while I'd like to capture every second of gameplay, that might occur at odd hours such as in morning or late at night, when streaming wouldn't catch many people. So my question here is two fold: Would you like or do you think a video series with Animal Crossing would work? Also, Live streaming or pre-recorded?
If you're all for both, then hey, give me a goal for early in the game if you like. If you're of a mind that I should wait it out, or that streaming a slow game like this would be a terrible idea, then I ask and thank you for your input. I can't decide or I'd have just done it by now, so I really am listening intently on what you say here.

Nottingham Hospitals Archives 2011
Bagthorpe Isolation Hospital
"Heathfield Hospital"
"The Corporation of Nottingham have erected on a site of 12 acres at Bagthorpe adjoining the Hucknall Road and Great Northern Railway a hospital for the reception and isolation of cases of small pox and other infectious diseases. The buildings comprise one administrative block, two for scarlet fever patients (each having accommodation for 22 patients) and one for small pox 22 patients another for cases of enteric fever, accommodating 18 patients."
Isolation Hospitals or rather Sanatoriums belong now very much to an older generation of patients. These were people, who were unfortunate enough to have picked up, or in many cases to have come into contact with others who were carriers of one of the many diseases sanatoriums were most remembered for treating. Many a tale has been told of those suffering from tuberculosis receiving, before the days of antibiotics 'fresh air treatment' This was a form of treatment that in some cases could incarcerate a person for months or even years at a time, and was an admixture of diet, sunshine and gentle exercise.
It will of course always be tuberculosis or 'TB' that will so readily come to mind when the subject of isolation hospitals is discussed. There were of course many other diseases that were treated within the confines of an isolation hospital. These were mostly Enteric or rather 'Typhoid Fever,' Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, and the most dreaded of all Smallpox. Collectively they came under the heading of 'Public Health,' especially in later years when local departments of health attempted to bring semblances of control to these highly contagious diseases.
However, man has in many ways been the destiny of his own 'Public Health.' In a sense, the beginning of the agricultural industry and mans domestication of animals, especially for use in the farming industry was historically the beginning of illness that came under the heading of public health and were latterly treated in sanatorium's.
With the domestication of animals, pathogens or microorganisms able to cause disease that were exclusive to animals transferred themselves to man. For example, cattle contributed to tuberculosis and smallpox, pigs and ducks passed on influenza. Horses brought rhinoviruses, or the common cold, whilst measles is the result of rinderpest (canine distemper) as a consequence of mans domestication of the dog. There were many other diseases that man became vulnerable to as well. Farm and domestic animals and other vermin carry the salmonella bacteria. Water polluted by faeces, both human and animal became the spawning ground for polio, cholera, typhoid, hepatitis, whooping cough and diphtheria.
The demise of the isolation hospital's came as a result in improved living standards, better health education and of course the development of antibiotics. Of the all the antibiotics discovered the two that are most common to everyone are the discoveries of the smallpox vaccine by Edward Jenner in 1798 and penicillin by Sir Alexander Fleming in 1928. Both these discoveries along with others such as Streptomycin and para-amino salicylic acid (PAS) by Sir Austin Bradford Hill in 1950 and the curing of tuberculosis were to see the slow and gradual demise of isolation hospitals.
Today very little remains of what was once part of 19th and early 20th century health care. However, places such as the Nottingham City Hospital still have physical reminders.
The Nottingham City Hospital is mostly remembered for its past as a workhouse and infirmary, an institution that was opened 18th March 1903. However, what has been forgotten is the old isolation hospital that was opened in 1892 and so pre-dates the workhouse and infirmary by eleven years. Of the old sanatorium or 'Bagthorpe Isolation Hospital,' that was later renamed Heathfield Hospital, very little remains as a result of resent developments.

In a world of sequels, trilogies and reboots, it is astoundingly refreshing when something a little different comes along. It's even better when that new intellectual property (or IP, as we say in the games business) is actually good enough to be considered triple-A, meaning it could easily stand tall alongside the Mass Effects, Halos and Calls of Duty in the world.
But don't let that example throw you for a loop — Dishonored is anything but another shooter. It is a game viewed from the first-person perspective (though I'd argue it would've benefited more from a third-person perspective), but there is very limited gunplay involved. Dishonored actually rewards you for killing less. But if brutality and running and gunning is your style, the game supports that too.
How it works
The basic premise of Dishonored is that you're an empress' trusted bodyguard who gets framed for her murder. During the course of the game, you'll complete missions and make a series of decisions that will determine if your name is cleared, if revenge is exacted and who ends up back on the throne.
The way you accomplish these missions relies on a very simple but satisfying mission structure. Though levels are quite large and have plenty of nooks to explore, this is not an open-world game. The somewhat linear level structure (every mission involves emerging from a boat and getting from that point A to a point B on the other side of the map) is offset by the nonlinear ways in which you get across levels. The formula works really well, actually.
As you cross levels, you'll need to avoid, choke out and/or kill guards and thugs. Other minor enemies appear from time to time, such as rats and weepers (the latter of which is a zombie type of enemy). What makes Dishonored more than just a sneaking stealth game akin to sneaking around in something like Skyrim is in what it borrows from the stealth RPG genre for its Deus Ex-like skills system. You can level up your teleportation, slow time and other stealth skills along the way. Or, if killing is your thing — learn to unleash a horde of rampaging man-eating rats or perform brutal melee combos.
And that's about all there is to Dishonored. It's a game about making decisions on how you'll cross a map to reach an objective, and you can do so by being the ever-shadowy hero who teleports along rooftops, silently knocking enemies unconscious who might detect you — or you can be a gritty antihero who runs and guns with your pistol, grenades, crossbow and other weapons. And still yet, you can (and most likely will) fall somewhere in between, sneaking in some areas, but unable to resist the urge to chuck a grenade into a clustered group of enemies or fry guards to ashes with a hacked arc pylon.
All of the gameplay mechanics work very well and feel super polished. This is something I did not expect from a new IP. From time to time, I had issues getting the Blink spell to teleport me to a space that should've been in range based on being able to teleport to areas of similar distance. Also, the game never really showed many opportunities to have the high-speed assassin parkour feel it seemed to allude to, which was a little disappointing. I'd also like to see the skill tree get a full RPG treatment and be more granularly customizable instead of just having a couple levels to each skill. But despite these few wishlist items, overall, Dishonored presents a fluid and fun gameplay experience.
Wait, wait, don't tell me....
Dishonored is not very pretty. The character models look OK, and there's some great voice acting from folks such as John Slattery (Mad Men), Carrie Fisher (Star Wars), Susan Sarandon (Step Mom) and Chloé Grace Moretz (Kick Ass). But overall, the graphics are a little rough around the edges. They aren't crisp and real. And environments are mostly dark browns, blues and grays. I would've enjoyed more splashes of color.
The story of Dishonored is about as worn out as you can get. A member of royalty's protector is framed for killing said member of royalty and must clear his name. Tell me if you've heard that one before. I know I have — The Witcher 2 is a recent example. Dishonored even has one of those cliché missions where you have to go retrieve your gear after it has been taken from you (though it's a pretty good mission as far as those go). While the story is throw-away, it has some bright sparks — a mysterious Outsider character (who seems like some sort of god, but the writer never actually closed the loop on who this person is or why he exists), a very interesting supporting cast with whom you develop fairly meaningful relationships and a multiple-endings scenario based on how you've played the game.
The journey through the world of Dishonored is engaging and fun, which is brought on more by the tense moments introduced in gameplay than by the story. However, distinct characters with interesting personalities help drag it along until a mostly anticlimactic let-down of an ending where little is resolved or celebrated (regardless of which ending you get).
What could use some fixing next time around?
While Dishonored is well worth the price of entry for its roughly 15-hour campaign, it's not a perfect game by any means.
The choices you make have an effect on the game world, but those effects are mostly cosmetic or conveyed through the placement of enemies on level maps. If you kill more guards, there'll be even more guards, rats and weepers in future levels. This effect is clever at first, and there'll be weepers hanging around a rune you want to pick up, making what would be an otherwise very easy task more of a challenge.
But Dishonored is very tough to play without killing at least a few guards here and there. Otherwise, you'd be doing a lot of saving and reloading to avoid fighting situations and stay purely in stealth mode. I tried to be as nonlethal as possible in my playthrough, but got bored with reloading or hiding out every time I happened to be spotted. The problem here is that when you do kill, more guards are in future areas, meaning you have more chance of being detected, killing more people and created an endless loop until the final levels of the game turn into a grenade-throwing killing frenzy that gives you the "high chaos" ending.
I wish the developers had made the stealth option something you can more concretely be rewarded for without being so highly penalized for the times when you do want to kill. What if Dishonored were more responsive and actually considered whether you had a good reason for killing someone or not instead of just introducing elements that will pigeonhole you into playing in a fashion in which you didn't want to play?
The lack of that sort of responsive feature to the lethal/nonlethal choice system translates to story-related choices as well. While the objectives in later missions and some dialogue here and there are affected by choices you make in-game, there actually isn't much decision-making in conversations and such. The majority of that sort of thing is decided by either accomplishing a side objective or not. And as most gamers are trained to do, I pursued all the side missions. It would be great if Dishonored's flow didn't tip you off so much and present 'choices' as side quests, which presents a very clear black-and-white approach. What if these discoveries happened on the fly and you had to choose how to deal with situations more as part of a mission's story? There was only one such instance I recall in Dishonored, where I happened upon a woman in an alley who was in need of help and had to quickly decide to rush to her aid or not — I want more of these scenarios! Often, Dishonored retreated back to "go collect this and come back" side missions instead of effectively weaving these things into the narrative as choices that later become apparent in how the story unfolds.
Survey says....
Although Dishonored isn't sparkly, it's more polished than most games, especially considering it's a first shot in what hopefully will be a new ongoing series (this entry certainly earned a sequel in my eyes). It relies heavily on video game clichés and misses key opportunities to make choices matter more in terms of the story. However, the level of freedom players are given in how they actually accomplish game objectives is refreshing, fun and presents an appropriate balance of challenge and exploration. While there's room for improvement, this new IP should not be ignored by any serious gamer.

I purchased Vintage Lady's Boots (http://www.bytheswordinc.com/p-6126-vintage-ladys-boots-34-1048.aspx#a34_2d1048) from By The Sword Inc. (http://www.bytheswordinc.com/) a few months ago for a costume I was working on. The are based off of shoes from the Pirate-Era Thru the Early 19th century, and were dead on for the costume I was making. Shipping was fast, and the boots came in less than a week after I ordered them. The boots looked exactly like the picture on the website, and it seemed like everything was well made. I purchased a size 9, and they were a bit snug at first, but they stretched and adjusted to my feet quickly. After wearing the boots for 3 days straight, I can say that they held up very well, and were well worth the $60 I paid for them, but I will be buying shoe inserts before I wear them again.

Editor's Note: This story is part of a larger package on Shimano gear. Click here to see more.
Q: Why can't you fish a topwater lure on a worm & jig rod?
A: Shimano's technique specific rods are designed so that castability, fish catching ability and bait presentation work in harmony. Nothing keeps you from, in a pinch, throwing a topwater bait on a worm rod. But the flexibility in a rod designed for topwater lures is going to load better for longer casts, present the lure better to induce more strikes and reduce the likelihood of a fish ripping a small treble hook from its mouth.
Q: Does a reel go up in quality and performance based on the number of ball bearings it has?
A: No. Although it tends to be a general indicator of quality, more isn't always better in terms of ball bearings. They are heavy, and they need to be oiled regularly. A reel may contain more ball bearings simply because its tolerances aren't tight. Don't choose a reel simply based on its number of ball bearings.
Q: How do you achieve a balanced combination when selecting a rod and reel?
A: First of all, you shouldn't buy a rod without putting a reel on it to feel the balance, and vice versa. Secondly, point of balance is an individual thing. What feels balanced to one angler might not to another. If you have questions, talk to the staff at a Shimano retailer. They'll point you in the right direction.
Q: Are baitcasting and spinning rods made the same?
No. Spinning rods bend differently than baitcasting rods. The number of guides on them is different too. Shimano baitcast rods with have eight or nine guides on them. Its spinning rods have seven guides. A spinning rod needs fewer guides because the line is coming off the reel from underneath the rod, and therefore doesn't touch the rod as much as it does coming off the top from a baitcaster.
Q: Why does Shimano make two kinds of rods for fishing topwater frogs?
A: Because there are two types of topwater frog lures. The hollow belly frogs, like the one made by Spro, have a dual-hook set up. Typically you're fishing in extremely heavy cover, like lily pads, with extra heavy line. You're not making long casts. The rod is very stiff and has a lot of power in it, so you can get good hook penetration. Soft plastic frogs are fairly light. This medium heavy rod with extra fast action loads easily to make long casts with a light bait. But it also has a lot of backbone, so you can get a good hook set with a heavy-gauge, wide-gap hook.

Hafiz Saeed has joined the FBI's list of most wanted terrorists' and currently roaming free in Pakistan despite all strong evidences against him.
Wendy Sherman, secretary of state for political affairs, who is on her visit to India said that Hafiz Saeed's brother-in-law, Abdul Rehman Makki also has a $3 million on his head. Apart from this Ayman al-Zawahiri, new al-Qaeda chief carries a bounty of $25 million on his head.
Hafiz Saeed, one of the most wanted Indian terrorists' was under house arrest in 2009 after it was alleged that he is the mastermind behind the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai. The cases levelled against him were, however, quashed by a Lahore court which declared that Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) was not a banned organization and free to work in Pakistan.

Transport for London pushed ahead with controversial plans to sell its Grade I-listed headquarters for luxury flats even after an internal report insisted it should be kept as offices and made more accessible to the public.
An expert study contradicted TfL's conclusion that the Art Deco masterpiece at 55 Broadway, over St James Park Tube station, is "no longer fit for purpose".
Last summer TfL launched a competition for designs to replace Charles Holden's 1929 landmark, London's tallest office block at the time. It led to architects TateHindle being appointed to plan a residential apartment scheme which could net TfL more than £120 million.
But a study by conservation specialists Richard Griffiths Architects, commissioned by TfL itself, said the building, dubbed "London's first skyscraper", could be modernised to provide "good offices", according to Architects' Journal magazine. Heritage groups have called on TfL to rethink, but it said the redevelopment has to be "a commercial success".Reuse content

: She has gorgeous hair
But I guess it's hard to have Large-And-In-Charge hair when you have a retiring personality! I don't see any problem with letting her keep it in braids until she grows into it. You could experiment with french braid styles, fishtail braids, etc, since you're obviously willing to put a lot of time and energy into hair. Then it will look gorgeous but be "smaller." When she's older she'll likely enjoy it in all its glory, so why force the issue?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/6/2013 (1475 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
During summer in Canada, lightning strikes on average every three seconds. And Environment Canada is watching.
With recent advances in lightning detection technology, the national forecaster has unveiled an online map that tracks lightning strikes in near-real time across the country. They're promoting the map in conjunction with Lightning Safety Week, which runs June 10–16 this year.
Located at weather.gc.ca/lightning, the map is updated every 10 minutes and shows areas where lightning is currently striking the ground. There is a Canada-wide map as well as six regional maps, including one for the prairies. They've also produced a video showing how to use the map.
Environment Canada warns that lightning, as well as causing power outages and forest fires, can also seriously injure or kill.
If the map indicates that you are in a danger area, or if you hear thunder, Environment Canada says you should go to a safe location — either a building with plumbing and wiring or an all-metal vehicle. They suggest you should stay there for 30 minutes following the last rumble of thunder.
Why so long? Research in North America shows that one-third of lightning injuries and fatalities occur in the early stages of a storm, another third at the peak of a storm and the final third once the peak of the storm has passed by.

The Ferris State University men's ice hockey team will visit Nebraska-Omaha next weekend (March 6-8) in a best-of-three Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) First-Round series at the Qwest Center Omaha in Omaha, Neb.
Opening faceoff for all three games if neccessary is 8:05 p.m. (EST).
The Bulldogs, under 17th-year head coach Bob Daniels, will enter the post-season league playoffs as the ninth seed while Nebraska-Omaha is seeded eighth. This weekend's playoff series between FSU and UNO will represent the first post-season action ever between the two teams. Ferris State sports a 20-49-3 all-time record (.299 winning percentage) in CCHA Playoff competition, which included a 3-2-0 ledger a season ago.
Ferris State concluded the 2008-09 regular season at 12-17-7 overall, which included a ninth-place 9-14-5-2 CCHA mark (25 league points). Nebraska-Omaha is 13-15-8 overall with an eighth-place 8-13-7-3 league record (26 league points) to date this campaign.
FSU registered a 2-1-1 mark against Nebraska-Omaha during the regular season as the two teams were CCHA clustermates this campaign.
The Bulldogs split a two-game set (Nov. 14-15) at Omaha, winning the opener by a 3-2 count before suffering a 4-2 loss in the series finale. The two teams would meet again on January 30-31 in Big Rapids, Mich., as Ferris skated to a 7-1 series-opening decision and then won a shootout by a 2-1 margin after skating to a 1-1 overtime tie versus the Mavericks.

* Well, almost everyone. If one just wants to backup a few files on random occasions then Bacula is not the software to use. But if one wants to run regular, scheduled backups to just about any type of storage media then Bacula will most definitely work.
I must admit, I have been a tar + cron Unix guy for over 20 years and never really considered anything else necessary for backups on Unix, until now. I recently decided to learn how to use Bacula to implement it for one of our clients that needs a new backup solution for their shiny, new PC systems and Linux server. The server is running Mandriva 2010.2 Linux with SAMBA and can easily handle adding Bacula to the mix. The PC systems are running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, for which Bacula has a solution. During this process I have decided I can now add Bacula to my short list of "must have" Unix software for small, medium and large businesses.
In all honesty, I am still a Bacula novice. However, I am not a backup software novice and can already see, based on my slightly over two weeks of working with Bacula, that this is some excellent, well designed and well documented software. Bacula is also complex software and takes a willingness to study and learn before one can get one's mind around how it all works. Here is a PDF of a simple diagram I created based on my experience with Bacula for those who like to see graphics: Bacula Components
It can be daunting to begin working with Bacula if one is completely new to business backup systems, especially enterprise grade business backup systems. But with some study of the Bacula documentation, experimentation with several non-critical test backups and the Webmin (Warning!) Bacula module, the work to get several PC systems backed up on a regular schedule can be much easier. In my experience, it is easier than running something like Retrospect Express, a typical small business backup solution, on each PC.
Here is how it works on Linux in a nutshell. One installs an SQL database back-end, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. Then one installs the Bacula components from one's distribution or downloads and compiles the Bacula components oneself. (The former method is recommended unless one needs to compile Bacula from source for some reason.) Then, one runs these commands to set up the Bacula database (In our system these are in /usr/lib/bacula and are symbolically linked to the actual script to run for the database chosen.):
- create_bacula_database
- make_bacula_tables
- grant_bacula_privileges
One's Linux distribution may or may not run these for one. By default the database is password-less. One may or may not wish to add a password to the Bacula database. If one does, then the password needs to be used in the Director configuration file.
Then the configuration files need to be set up for one's system and LAN. The files one needs to edit are bacula-dir.conf, bacula-fd.conf, bacula-sd.conf, and bconsole.conf. (In our system these are in /etc/bacula). This can be a bit confusing at first, but experiment and keep reading the documentation. Eventually the way it works should "click" in one's mind. Since Bacula integrates all the components at the Director, once all the system configuration files are done one can then do all the work to create storage volumes, create backup jobs, and so on using the bconsole program at the command-line or the Webmin Bacula module in a web browser. We recommend Firefox.
Here are some example files from my working test setup here at the ERACC office.
File Daemon, bacula-fd.conf, on a PC to be backed up:
# # List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon # Director { Name = router-dir Password = "BigSecretStuff" } # # Restricted Director, used by tray-monitor to get the # status of the file daemon # Director { Name = era4-mon Password = "MySecretStuff" Monitor = yes } # # "Global" File daemon configuration specifications # FileDaemon { # this is me Name = era4-fd FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula Pid Directory = /var/run Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 FDAddress = 10.10.10.4 } # Send all messages except skipped files back to Director Messages { Name = Standard director = router-dir = all, !skipped, !restored }
The passwords can be any text string one desires, including random characters, as long as they match when each daemon tries to contact one another.
Storage Daemon, bacula-sd.conf, on the system handling the storage media:
Storage { # definition of myself Name = router-sd SDport = 9103 WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula Pid Directory = "/var/run" Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2 SDAddress = 10.10.10.100 } # # List Directors who are permitted to contact Storage daemon # Director { Name = router-dir Password = "BigSecretStuff" } # # Restricted Director, used by tray-monitor to get the # status of the storage daemon # Director { Name = router-mon Password = "OurSecretStuff" Monitor = yes } Device { Name = Data_r0 Media Type = File Archive Device = /data_r0/bacula LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media Random Access = Yes; AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it RemovableMedia = no; AlwaysOpen = no; } # # Send all messages to the Director, # mount messages also are sent to the email address # Messages { Name = Standard director = router-dir = all }
The Director configuration file, bacula-dir.conf, is rather large, so I will just post some of the parts that one needs to edit to get started.
The section of bacula-dir.conf that tells the Director about its own setup:
Director { # define myself Name = router-dir DIRport = 9101 QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/scripts/query.sql" WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula PidDirectory = "/var/run" Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2 Password = "BigSecretStuff" # Console password Messages = Daemon DirAddress = 10.10.10.100 }
The Name should be unique.
The section of bacula-dir.conf where one will tell the Director the database password, if one set a database password. Otherwise, leave this section alone.
# Generic catalog service Catalog { Name = MyCatalog dbname = "bacula"; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = "dbSecretStuff" }
Here is the bconsole.conf configuration file:
# # Bacula User Agent (or Console) Configuration File # Director { Name = router-dir DIRport = 9101 address = 10.10.10.100 Password = "BigSecretStuff" }
As stated near the beginning of this article, Bacula is well documented. One should be ready to spend some time reading documentation and looking at the configuration files before starting on a Bacula implementation. Once one does "get it" then using Bacula to backup one, dozens or hundreds of PC systems should be easy to understand and use.
Warning! We strongly recommend reading the documentation and learning how things work at the command-line before using Webmin! Webmin cannot substitute for lack of knowledge. (Go back.)

RailRiders Bowl Coming to PNC Field
Abington Heights & Valley View Agree to Two-Year Deal
By John Sadak / Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders | August 13, 2014 12:11 PM ET
Moosic, Pa. - From day one, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Triple-A/New York Yankees) have repeated multiple mantras. When it comes to their reconstructed home of PNC Field, the common refrain has centered around the stadium's community-focused nature. Add an NEPA high school football tradition to those efforts. Starting this fall, the RailRiders' summer home will host a new autumnal classic, the "RailRiders Bowl". The first version of the RailRiders Bowl in 2014 and 2015 will sport the annual rivalry game between Abington Heights and Valley View.
"This is a great day for the RailRiders, PNC Field and Northeast Pennsylvania," said RailRiders president/GM Rob Crain. "Few things bring communities together like sports. High school football under the lights at a facility like PNC Field - that's a recipe for memories that will last a lifetime for players, coaches and all of those that follow and support them."
The first meeting in the two-year agreement will take place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4. Abington Heights will be the home team in 2014 while Valley View owns home team status in the 2015 match-up.
"We extremely excited and grateful for the RailRiders once again supporting the community and impacting our game," said Abington Heights athletic director Randy Hanyon. "This gives our kids the opportunity to play in a premier, beautiful facility."
"We're very excited and extremely honored that Abington Heights has been selected to play in the first football game at PNC Field," said Abington Heights head coach Joe Repshis. "It's a first-class, state-of-the-art facility that will provide a great experience for football. We are grateful to Mr. Crain and the entire Scranton/Wilkes-Barre organization for giving us the opportunity to play this game against an outstanding opponent in Valley View."
PNC Field opened to rave reviews in 2013 including Ballpark of the Year accolades from the industry standard in those evaluations, Ballpark Digest. And it is home to more than just RailRiders baseball with a number of events taking place there since its reconstruction in advance of the 2013 season.
"We're looking forward to this exciting opportunity for both of our schools," said Valley View athletic director Chris Killiany. "It's always a great rivalry with them no matter what the records are. What a chance to showcase our kids and the football in this area. With Penn State not playing that week, our teams have the chance to own the stage that night."
"I think it's going to be great for our area to have football back at the stadium," said Valley View head coach George Howanitz. "It's a nice way for people from all of NEPA to come together on a Saturday night to watch high school football."
Tickets for the inaugural "RailRiders Bowl" will go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, August 15 at 10 a.m. at the PNC Field box office. Fans can also purchase tickets online at SWBRailRiders.com.
The RailRiders' eight-game homestand continues on Wednesday night at 7:05 p.m. with game three of four against the Louisville Bats (Cincinnati Reds). Aaron Berlin will have the call on radio when the pregame show starts at 6:35 p.m. on NEPA Sports Radio - The GAME, Northeast PA's largest sports radio network: 100.7 FM, 1340 WYCK-AM, 1400 WICK-AM, 1440 WCDL-AM and 106.7 FM. For season ticket information, single-game tickets or to book a ballpark group outing, call (570) 969-BALL (2255) or visit swbrailriders.com.

He could well be a 'lens' pimp' but I've never heard of this kind of lens technology before so I was quite interested in reading the link. Especially as I've worn conventional contact lenses for the last 12 years or so. Most of the time they don't give me any problems when training but it's not good when you have to pick a lens off the sweaty pube-invested mats and pop it back in again after it's been knocked out.
I only pay £15 month though and that has barely changed in the last decade. How much was the lens pimp, pimping his dirty hoe bitch lenses for?

Darwin at work.
WICHITA, Kan. -- Wichita police said a botched kidnapping ended with one of the assailants shooting himself in the groin.
The man had just stuck the gun back into his waistband when it fired, shooting him in the left testicle. He cringed, causing the gun to fire again and strike him in the left calf.
When the shooting ended, police said, the 23-year-old man managed to walk himself into the hospital for treatment. He and his two accomplices -- ages 18 and 20 -- were arrested on suspicion of aggravated attempted kidnapping and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
Police said the men were attempting to kidnap a teenager in a dispute over stereo speakers.
Natural selection at work...
I was taking my wife to work yesterday and this story came up on the radio. Needless to say, it sparked a series of callers to chime in with their own testicle destruction stories. One was particularly awful. It sure was difficult driving with my legs crossed.

Always wanted to meet a medicine man? Or do you want to see what's happening on the mysterious cemetery of Port au Prince? Let your dreams come true with our second annual tour to Haiti.
You can't particularly call Haiti the lucky kid in town. The country has been known for its poverty (it is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere), the dictatorship of the Duvalier-family (Papa Doc and Baby Doc), and most recently the 2010 earthquake. However, the Haitians are not let down by all these events. The last few years the country has been trying hard to overcome its negative image and to show a different Haiti. Beautiful Caribbean beaches, Vodou (in the old spelling Voodoo), rum, great architecture, and a beautiful landscape all prove that there's more in stock for this half of the Hispaniola-island. Neighbour country the Dominican Republic is more well-known as a holiday destination where many Western tourists touch-down every day. By starting and ending the trip in DR you can see all the differences. One moment it feels like you are in Latin America, the other moment it might have been Africa as well.
This itinerary continues on from the Cuba tour and can be done stand-alone or as an extension.

Recent advances in molecular dynamics (MD) simulation methods and in available computational resources have allowed for more reliable simulations of biological phenomena. From all-atom MD simulations, we are now able to visualize in detail the interactions between antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and a variety of membrane mimics. This helps us to understand the molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial activity and toxicity. This chapter describes how to set up and conduct molecular dynamics simulations of AMPs and membrane mimics. Details are given for the construction of systems of interest for studying AMPs, which can include simulations of peptides in water, micelles, or lipid bilayers. Explanations of the parameters needed for running a simulation are provided as well.

A fresh batch of minor updates for Lumia phones has landed this morning. These updates apply to two system apps – Network+ and Rate Us – in addition to the optional vehicle assistant Lumia Car App.
First up is Lumia Car App, which is going by a new name with Lumia out in front instead of the previous Nokia moniker. As far as we know, this is the only change in this app and is a continuation of the de-Nokiafication of Lumia-specific apps in the Store.

Homemaker's FAQ on Forex Trading and Forex Trading Signal Service
Homemaker's FAQ on Foreign currency trading and Forex Trading Signal Service
People generally many questions when they are presented with something new, particularly if it is related to their cash. The following are questions that homemakers frequently ask regarding forex currency trading and forex trading signal service: forex trader
Q1: Is forex currency trading safe?
A1: Trading forex is of course safe. The reason is because today increasingly more country regulates currency markets and they enforce strict rules that each forex broker must follow. Therefore, we find that only the excellent brokers stay in the forex trading industry. On a personal level though, it really is up to you to determine the safety of one's account. If you trade recklessly you'll find that your capital will drain rapidly. Sometimes it is faster to lose take advantage forex trading than in casino. Therefore, you'll want to prepare yourself mentally and acquire lots and lots of knowledge additionally, you can choose to go with hiring a good profitable trader and sign up for his trading signal service. Rogues is by far the faster, easier way to trade forex when you have limited or no know-how about forex at all.
Q2: Can a homemaker flourish in forex trading?
A2: Of course, it is possible to succeed in forex trading just like other trader. Everyone who trades forex have similar opportunity. In fact, homemakers have an overabundance of potential to succeed since they have the most flexible schedule and of course, they have more time at their disposal than any other newcomer in foreign currency trading. Homemakers usually develop the ability to do multitasking and this is the number one reason they're able to manage hectic days without a hitch. And actually, people can multitask forex trading if only they know the way to do it. First of all, they should find a genuine currency trading signal service and subscribe to it. Second, accomplish the things they usually do day in day out. Homemakers don't reply to any boss to allow them to use their time in any respect they want and perform the tasks however they want so long as the finish the tasks. That is why homemakers have the most potential to succeed if they discover how to manage their abundant time.
Q3: Do I need to have experience in international finance to get started on trading forex?
A3: If you decided to trade forex with your personal might then you need to pass through the learning curve. However, in the event you join a trading signal service you should not have any experience in trading whatsoever. This is why assisted trading is deemed the easiest way to participate in the foreign exchange market. Assisted trading can be a term used to describe trading using the assistance of a trading signal service.
Q4: Can someone who only graduates from high school graduation trade forex?
A4: This fact is of course, yes. All that you should do is to find good trader who consistently make money from the market and pay him to let you know what currency pair to trade, when you ought to enter the market when to exit. In case you are humble enough to allow someone professional help then you definitely you are fine.
Q5: Exactly what do I need to become successful in forex trading?
A5: You need to have a strong commitment, willingness to understand things and diligently update your knowledge or information. Most of the people fail because they don't use a strong commitment in the first place. Also, many people just not have the right kind of information or knowledge.
Q6: Do I need to have a high-tech computer?
A6: Certainly not. You don't need to have a computer that look like Star Trek or any other alien spaceship. A computer with 512 RAM, Pentium 4 2.67 Ghz, 80 Gb harddrive and windows xp is plenty for you to be able to trade forex. However you need to know that it is important to not open multiple programs that consume a lot of resources out of your computer or heavy program when you are trading forex. In nature, forex software such as Meta Trader 4 (commonly abbreviated as MT4) is quite light and does not require computer with higher specification.
Q7: Do I need to have a high-speed internet to trade forex?
A7: Well, the treatment depends on what you mean by high-speed. Generally, a net connection with 512 Kbps or maybe more is already enough. This doesn't happen really matter whether your subscription is DSL or cable. However, you need at the very least 1 Mbps if you wish to incorporate scalping method inside your trading because some scalping methods ask you to trade using a time period lower than 1 minute. Moreover, scalpers usually trade during active trading hours (session overlaps or session open). Nonetheless, scalping is not an trading method anyone can use. Also, it is important to observe that while trading using wi-fi just isn't prohibited it is far safer to trade using wired connection to the internet. The reason is because web connection loss is rare if you are plugged with a cable instead of using wireless connection.
Q8: Is there a best forex broker around?
A8: Most of today's brokers are fantastic because of the increasing variety of regulations that swept the forex currency trading industry. The list is long but you can find paths that you can follow to determine which broker is the best for you. You may choose to use a forex broker that features a presence in your own country because this will reduce the cost of transferring fund back and forth from your trading account. You can pick to use a broker outside of your country if you are looking for features that the domestic broker doesn't have such as higher leverage or the ability to hedge or trade CFDs. Lastly, you can pick to use a forex broker based on the spread they offer. For whatever trading conditions that you require in a forex broker you will most likely obtain the broker that will fit your need.
Q9: How much money must i have to start trading forex?
A9: The very first thing you need to remember is currency trading is a business so when with any other business it needs a good business plan and enough capital to start. You have to keep reality in balance and don't expect to enter the business with $250 swap it to $1 million in a year. Sure, there are individuals who can make it but certainly not everyone. Generally, a sum of $10,000 is good to start with but many people usually commence with as little as $5,000. 10% monthly return on a $10,000 account is $1,000 which is $500 on a $5,000 account. Of course, with a solid software system, a good forex trading signal can drive more than 10% per month. However, consistency is the thing that you should seek. If you possibly could make 10% per month consistently so as to your money will grow to a staggering $309,126.81 in 3 years. That's a growth of 3,091%. in order you can see, 10% is actually great over the span of 3 years. Continue with the goal of 10% per month and you will probably reap the benefit quickly.
Q10: What is the best way to trade forex?
A10: To become brutally honest, the easiest method to trade forex is by subscribing to a forex trading signal service. Why? The reason is you still have full control of the account nevertheless, you don't really need to perform the entire task would have to be done in trading. This option would be the best because it is practical specifically if you are new to forex trading and know little or free about forex trading. When you've got more experience you'll be able to trade by yourself and in the long run, this is the best way to trade forex. However, it will require time to learn the ropes and produce your confidence and gain experience. Moreover, you have to consider the costs that will incur by buying trading literatures. Overall, your costs should include time, effort and cash. So the wise decision to produce is to subscribe to a foreign currency trading signal service first and discover how to trade forex properly simultaneously.
Q11: How does a currency trading signal service works?
A11: The initial step is you need to find the company that you believe can deliver strong and accurate trading signal. After that, you pay the fee upfront so that you can use their service for the next 30 days. The next step is to participate in their service and pick the method of delivery to the trading signals. They're going to then alert you every time a good trading opportunity surfaced. Finally, you need to enter the orders the same manner they send and you can keep away from your computer. You will be alerted if your market situation changes so you will be able to protect your profit as well as maximize your profit.
Q12: The time do I need to set aside everyday to trade forex?
A12: You do not really need to set that much time to trade forex if you work with a forex trading signal service because they will do the analysis and report the result for via email or message (SMS). All you need to do is look at the email or text message that they send that may only take 1 minute to perform and then submit the orders from your trading platform. Rogues will only take A few minutes. So in total, you only need less than 10 mins to trade forex per signal.
Q13: Can I leave my computer when I am trading?
A13: Honestly, you don't have to stay in front of the computer all day long to trade forex. You will find trading methods that are fitted to long term trader or medium term trader and people types of trading method will not require you to constantly monitor the market industry. Moreover, you can use internal function in the trading platform to alert you when price crossed the cost you desired. There are also indicators which may have built-in alert so you know when price reacts in the certain way calculated by the indicator.
Q14: Is there any proof which a homemaker ever succeeded in trading?
A14: Well, you won't be able to find out every single one of them on the net. The main reason might be that they wouldn't like to be known by the public or the media only hunt actual life stories that can increase their media circulation (or attract visitors to their website). However, you'll find a few of them in the event you search using Google. Only use the keyword housewives trading forex or any blend of similar keywords. You'll find popular stories over the internet regarding homemakers succeeding in forex currency trading and the most popular ones is Ms. Torii from Japan.
Q15: What is the good forex trading signal service will subscribe to?
A15: Absolutely. There are several forex trading signal services on the market but in order to profit, you'll want to find the genuine one. Of course, it is not an easy task to find it because they all state they have delivered profitable forex currency trading signals to many people. To be honest not all of them can back their claim with real result. Moreover, subscribing to a genuine forex trading signal service alone will not likely guarantee that you will profit. There are certain things that you can do to optimize the consequence of your trading. You are able to go here if you want to learn about it.
I hope you will get the answer that you are seeking but more importantly, I hope that the answers can remove your doubt so you can enter the world of opportunities and commence making money from the forex market. forex trader

Yummy In Yellow! Audrina Patridge's Party at 'The Pool'
Adding a pop of color to the black carpet, Audrina Patridge stepped out for a night at The Pool After Dark at Harrah's Resort in Atlantic City, NJ on Saturday (March 24).
The former "Hills" hottie looked ready for the fun-filled festivities while clad in a bright yellow mini dress and strappy sandals as she encouraged her Twitter fans to come join her, tweeting, "Come out this weekend to @thepoolafterdark at Harrahs Atlantic City ! see you at 11:30 pm !!"
The appearance comes as Miss Patridge has been quite the traveler as of late - as the Jersey night out follows recent time in Las Vegas and her hometown of Los Angeles for a range of promotional duties.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, the 26 year-old brunette just returned from a Sin City trip earlier this month where she hosted an evening out at Chateau Nightclub, while also helping out with the grand opening of the newest Sugar Factory location at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino.
Enjoy the pictures of Audrina Patridge at The Pool After Dark at Harrah's Resort in Atlantic City (March 24).

text: Hey guys, Has anyone had any experience with wireless access point/router signal boosters? I am looking specifically at the Linksys WSB24. http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=38&prid=478 It has +14 dBm peak gain, +20 dBm receiver gain and max +20 dBm Tx input power. I honestly have no idea what those numbers mean. I am trying to get the signal to reach inside of my car in my driveway. I can connect the Mp3Car to the wireless network when the trunk door is open, but not when it's closed. I've also heard about signal boosters you can make at home, but it seems like they have to be pointing in a certain direction to boost the signal. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Before any adventure, fill up on our complimentary, hot Be Our Guest Breakfast with tasty items to choose from like waffles, pastries, muffins, fresh fruit, cereals, sausage biscuits, yogurt, hot coffee, juice and more.

When it's time for lunch or dinner, you don't have to venture far since our hotel is close to several great restaurants, such as Dan'l Boone Inn, the Peddler Steakhouse and Casa Rustica.
