Cisco Live! Customer Appreciation Event
This year, Cisco Live!, the industry's premier education and training event for IT, networking, and communications professionals, made its home in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. It kicked off on Sunday, June 27th and just wrapped up last night, July 1st.
While the show is typically geared to enterprise and service provider customers, everyone's a consumer, too – right?, so the Cisco Consumer team moved its tack to Vegas for the show. We showed off our latest wares in a consumer-sponsored lounge space as well as in a private room for the NetVets, a small group of Cisco Live! regulars, who, after succumbing to the effortless simplicity of Flip Video and Valet products despite their attempts to turn them into CRS routers, were treated to tee-shirts and product giveaways.
After a long but informative week, the show offered a reprieve to its guests at Wednesday's Customer Appreciation Event (CAE). The event took place at the MGM Grand Arena, the famous graveyard of Evander Holyfield's ear and home to many major concerts and special events, this time taken over by thousands of networking pros adorning Elvis wigs (spoiler alert: the hats are always relevant to the talent at the show. Last year they gave away Devo Domes).
The Arena was set up with two stages on the main floor, the smaller for impersonator band Legends in Concert, the larger for the UltraSonic Rock Orchestra and Smash Mouth. The ops around the event were seamless: when one stage cleared the other started right up. This facilitated plenty of smiles, funky dance moves and fist pumps that crescendoed throughout the gig; although it's not difficult to get pumped up with you're eating Kobe beef sliders, drinking free beer and wearing an Elvis wig.
For all of you who weren't at CAE or didn't get 27 Flip Video shares from your friends who were, here are a few videos to give you the flavor of what you missed. We hope to see you at Cisco Live! 2011.
Meet Thelma – the most enthusiastic staffer I met all week. She was a pro at getting people pumped up for the event. And clearly into Prince.
Ultrasonic Rock Orchestra. Question: what song are they playing here?
And…….the King.
The female demographic was a big fan. By the end they boxed out the front few rows by the stage to shake his hand….or try for a bit more. You'll have to read a more risqué blog for those videos.

Thanks for sharing the videos, Cisco Live 2010 certainly was a beautiful remarkable event, beyond the relevant news of this year, like Cius.
Great article. Just bookmarked this site.Thanks

World View - Poem by Praveen Kumar in Celestial Glow
World is an infinite field
Of God in expanse of silent energy,
An unending ocean of peace and balance,
Where impinges Maya as Higgs Boson,
The infinite field's creative face, force,
Brihman, Priktiti, the nature itself,
Causes ripples of cosmic disturbance
In the silent ocean of uniform energy
By giving weight to weightless world,
And coagulates particle packets
All through the field of aroused energy.
No more balance, no still silence
While Prikriti stirs up Purusha in slumber;
Uniformity broke, balance is lost,
God in energy awakes from sleep,
Sees his world in active ride,
Playing cosmic games by particle rules
Inherent in Higgs Boson's heart
To move from sheath to new sheath
In time's line in bubbles of space,
Spreading far out in gigantic speed
Till God exhausts, and Higgs Boson shrinks,
As Brihman and Prikriti opt for rest
And sinks towards the center of field.
Higgs Boson in rest, all weight shrinks,
The spreading ripples in reverse tack
In unending ocean of the infinite field;
God finds himself drowsy again,
Particle packets devolve back to field
And peace and balance return to space
In time's line as bubbles burst;
Sheaths fall, all return to soul,
To unending ocean of peace and balance;
No disturbances more, nothing coagulates,
No ripples more in cosmic field,
No time, no space, no dimensions exist;
So exists as a point, zero, infinite too,
Till rises again Higgs Boson within
And coagulates field with differential weights.

- - Boat Name Protocol ? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/97488-boat-name-protocol.html)
Boat Name Protocol ?
Is there any protocol for naming a boat? I just bought a "new" 20 ft sailboat and am thinking about giving it a name. I know of two different names it has had with previous owners. There were probably more.
The only reason I am aware of to name a boat is to facility radio communications - using the boat name as a call-sign. I see that boat names are also used in racing. In addition, it appears that the larger a boat is, the more likely it will have a name. (I guess there are USCG requirements at some point.)
So, should I give a name to my 1985 Holder 20?
Thanks, Richard
Re: Boat Name Protocol ?
Sure...go ahead. Lot's of people change the name. It's not bad luck or anything like that.
Re: Boat Name Protocol ?
There are many rituals and superstitions around changing the boat name. You'll pick up a lot of info if you simply do a google search, or simply start at John Vigor's Blog: How to Rename Your Boat, the expert in this matter; but in summary:
- It is generally considered bad luck to choose a name which taunts fortune, such as "Storm King", "wind tamer".
- Remove everything from the boat with the old name on it
- Hold a denaming ceremony
- hold a naming ceremony
Most sailors will say it is bad luck to change the name of a boat; but most will also agree that it is sometimes necessary, and if the correct rituals are followed, you will be okay. (As long as you don't do cheap on the "offering"!)
Re: Boat Name Protocol ?

The most important thing is to name your boat something stupid.
And unintelligible.
Un spell able
And that includes "sea" like the boat I saw today: "Pregnansea". What the hell were they thinking? On board sex that needs to be advertised?
Or Ocean in the name, or something about retirement, dreams, rum, Happy Hours, Happy Ours etc, Island Time....
Or a catamaran has to include double something like Too Smart, Double Trouble.
One of the great Australian naming traditions is to name it something Aboriginal. Those names have the most consonants together of any language apart from Swahilli.... Try pronouncing Nhnumanjarra, let alone on spelling it to a Spanish port authority on the VHF radio...
So calling my boat Sea Life was meant to be simple. Who to F that up? Well, lots of people! Spanish have no concept of SEA and Life is pronounced "Leef Eh". And people who do speach English think I have said Sea LICE. Like I am gunna call a boat sea LICE?????
Or you could try one of the dirty American boat names... I never know how they register some of them like "Head Job" etc.
Re: Boat Name Protocol ?
No form to fill out, no signature required. Just hand print the new boat name and send to us. :)
Re: Boat Name Protocol ?
Re: Boat Name Protocol ?
Yes, you should name your boats.
A boat is a female. Give the boat a proper female name.
For those of us who grew up in the 60s and 70s, that means something natural, organic, or emotional. Mythical names are also acceptable.
My boat "Thoe" is named after one of the Nereids, the daughters of Poseidon. It is also very short for radio transmission purposes.
Just don't name your boat "Wet Dreams"...
Re: Boat Name Protocol ?
you mention the Coast Guard.. I know they only name their cutters.. anything less than 65feet in length is just a boat and only gets a number
Re: Boat Name Protocol ?
if you google it, there is a protocal for renaming a boat, and appesing the gods
Re: Boat Name Protocol ?
Name it Mayday.

The release of the report of the NSW Special Commission of Inquiry, headed by Margaret Cunneen SC, into certain matters of child sexual abuse in the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle is an event of very great significance, not only to this diocese, but to the broader church and nation. Originally called to inquire into the conduct of police investigations into these matters and into the church's role in helping or hindering those investigations, the Commission has ultimately also shed a great deal of light on the diocese's knowledge and handling of the abuse perpetrated by Denis McAlinden and James Fletcher.
The appalling but inescapable conclusion of this Inquiry is that senior officials of the diocese, including former bishops, had various degrees of knowledge of the paedophile behaviour of McAlinden over several decades but failed to report his crimes to police and failed to prevent, by internal procedures, his going on to abuse more children. In relation to knowledge that officials of the diocese may have had of Fletcher's abuse prior to Bishop Malone's time, the Commission has received certain evidence that it has reserved to the fourth, confidential, volume of the Report. It has also been critical, as a separate matter, of Bishop Malone's handling of the first allegations against Fletcher that came to him in his early years as bishop.
I have previously made a detailed response to the Cunneen Report, including in my open letter of 30 May and during the press conference of 3 June. Since the press conference I have held a series of open forums across the diocese, to provide the people an opportunity to ask questions or make comment as to the Cunneen Report and its findings. In most of these forums the question of "What happens next to Fr Burston and Mons Hart?" arises. I've also been told that some people in the diocese believe that "Nothing's happening – it's business as usual" because the men were asked to stand aside from any diocesan roles but have remained in parish ministry. On the evening of 17 June, the Right Honourable Barry O'Farrell MLA stated this view in a speech to Parliament:
Bishop Wright simply stood him [Mons Hart] aside from advisory positions in the diocese. As a response to such a damning inquiry it was completely underwhelming—more a sign of spin than a response to the grave sins of omission.
There are two aspects to these types of comment which I need to address; the more significant issue of establishing and conducting a procedurally fair process for determining just and reasonable outcomes relating to the future of two priests' ministry, and the interim decision that they remain in parish ministry, while the aforementioned process is carried out.
As part of Commissioner Cunneen's report, Mons Hart was considered for referral to the Director of Public Prosecutions for criminal charges, however it was found that there was "insufficient evidence warranting the prosecution of Hart in relation to any failure by him to report to the police the offending by McAlinden" and that "the prosecution would be unlikely to be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt the absence of reasonable excuse". Fr Burston was not considered for criminal charges. As there appears to be no prospect of either man facing criminal charges, the question then becomes one of translating Commissioner Cunneen's adverse findings from a strictly legalistic framework into a holistic and moral understanding of the potential consequences for Fr Burston's and Mons Hart's ongoing ministry. In recognition of the seriousness of these circumstances and to protect the integrity of the process, Fr Burston and Mons Hart were asked to stand aside from any diocesan roles, which they did immediately.
I know that some people have already achieved a crystalline clarity in relation to these matters. One view has been publicly promoted in a number of forums. This position argues that there is no need for further deliberations, both men have been the subject of adverse findings by Commissioner Cunneen and consequently should be stood aside from all public ministries immediately and made to retire or resign from all their roles or positions in the diocese. Anything less demonstrates a failure in leadership. The alternative view has been expressed to me by a number of laity within the diocese. It is not promoted publicly by those people stating it, but is put with equal conviction and earnestness by its exponents. This position argues that both men have dedicated most of their lives in the service of this diocese and our Catholic faith and their conduct in front of the Special Commission when weighed up against their decades of service is insufficient cause to make them resign. Consequently the two men should be left in place to continue their ministry to the faithful in their parishes.
As Bishop of Maitland-Newcastle I will not concede to either view. In response to a question asked at the 3 June press conference, I said among other things that:
In regard to the two men that you mention [Burston and Hart], of whom the Commissioner has made some criticism, both in regard to their past involvement in things, but more particularly to the way in which they gave evidence or the character of that evidence, we will need as a diocese to take some time I think to consider exactly what those findings of the Commission are, what it is that they're saying.
And nothing said since that time has changed my mind as to the importance of conducting a separate process to determine the appropriate outcomes for either man. Thankfully, this is the first Special Commission that the diocese and diocesan personnel have been the subject of and consequently there are no established structures in place appropriate to conduct this process. I am working towards establishing the Independent Review Panel to provide me with advice. The panel will include members drawn from both within and outside the diocese. The panel will be predominantly laity, I am seeking to achieve a gender balance and include a number of non-Catholics. In the coming weeks I will provide you with further details as to the process; through the diocesan website, in the following edition of Aurora and through parish and school bulletins.
It was my decision to leave Fr Burston and Mons Hart in parish ministry. I have made a judgement call based on a number of grounds; including particular consideration of the adverse consequences suffered by the faithful of the parishes that would be affected, should they be stood down. I can understand people who disagree with my decision and I respect their sincerity. It was not a decision taken without thought and prayer and I believe it is the most appropriate decision, in a situation where any choice I make will cause some level of distress to people within the diocese.
The process we have begun will be complex and require some time to complete. I ask for your patience and understanding as we work through this next stage of a very sad and hurtful exploration of the diocese's terrible legacy of failing to protect children. Most of all I ask that you pray for those who were harmed; our sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, friends, neighbours and work colleagues who have to deal with the consequences of abuse on a daily basis, so that they may find some healing and peace.
You can also read a statement in response to the Special Commission Report from Bishop Emeritus Michael Malone, which was published in the July Aurora.

New Zealand votes on law against child smacking
By Adrian Bathgate
WELLINGTON (Reuters Life!) - "Should a smack as part of good parental correction be a criminal offence in New Zealand?"
That's the question a New Zealand referendum on anti-smacking laws is asking people as the country debates a controversial 2007 law that made smacking children a criminal offence.
The postal referendum has sparked heated debate in New Zealand, with some saying it is a waste of time because the results are not binding on the government.
The law was introduced to combat maltreatment, but sparked protest from those who saw it as the state dictating how they should raise their children.
Domestic violence is a major issue in New Zealand, which has the third-highest rate of child deaths caused by maltreatment in the OECD.
"It's a waste of money. The question is so stupid they'll get a lot of red herrings and a lot of people won't vote," said Stephanie Phillips, a mother of three from Wellington.
"The referendum question is ridiculous. It's quite confusing. You kind of have to answer the opposite to what you believe."
Prime Minister John Key has said the government does not plan to change the law, whatever the result. Key said the law would only be changed if there was evidence showing it did not work. Continued...

|If you are going to install and use WebSphere CloudBurst in your own environment, it is very likely that you would want at least two appliances. Perhaps you want to have a standby appliance in case of a failure on the main appliance, or maybe you have different teams that are looking to utilize the appliance in different data centers. In any case, once you install multiple appliances there's another requirement that will pop up pretty quickly. Naturally you are going to want to share custom artifacts among the various WebSphere CloudBurst boxes.
|When I say custom artifacts, namely I mean virtual images, patterns, and script packages. Script packages have been easy enough to share since WebSphere CloudBurst 1.0 because you can simply download the ZIP file from one appliance and upload it to another. However, there are some enhancements in WebSphere CloudBurst 1.1 that make it easy to share both patterns and images among your different appliances.
|As far as patterns go, there is a new script included in the samples directory of the WebSphere CloudBurst command line interface package called patternToPython.py. This script will transform a pattern you specify into a python script. The resulting python script can then be run against a different WebSphere CloudBurst (using the CLI), and the result is the pattern is created on the target appliance. You need to be sure that the artifacts that pattern references (script packages and virtual images) exist on the target appliance and have the exact same name as they do on the appliance from which the pattern was taken. There are no other caveats, and this new sample script makes it really simple to move patterns between appliances.
|For virtual images, a new feature was added that allows you to export a virtual image from the WebSphere CloudBurst console. Simply select a virtual image, specify a remote machine (any machine with SCP enabled), and click a button to export the image as an OVA file. This OVA file can then be added to another WebSphere CloudBurst catalog using the normal process for adding virtual images. You can see this feature in action here.
|Stay tuned for more information about some of the handy new features in WebSphere CloudBurst 1.1. We also should have a comprehensive look at the new release coming soon in a developerWorks article.

Hello Everyone,
So i bought a Prosport 52mm Premium gauge last week and i had a question or two:
First Ill show how i ran the boost lines with a few pics i took. (me and my friend cut the t connector down on both sides a bit with a pair of dykes)
Now i ran in line hose through the firewall where i have the boost sender up near the wiring harnesses off to the right of the dead pedal. (temporary)
Heres the big question. I ran into some doubts in regards to mounting the gauge as well as if im going to wire it to the fuse box or elsewhere, So until all doubts are removed about this im going to hold off finishing the installation. Now will this be ok if i have the boost line setup all the way to the boost sender but not have the gauge itself wired up? Also i would greatly appreciate and input or advice as to wiring and mounting of the gauge. Thanks in advance

Guilty until proved innocent
We do not yet know whether Chris Jefferies is guilty of any crime. He has been arrested on suspicion of murder but, as I write, he has not been charged -- as the headmaster of his old school, Clifton College, has rightly stressed. Even if he had been charged, he would be guilty only when a court had found him so. That's the point of the old "innocent until proved guilty" adage.
But if he is innocent, the press coverage of the last day or so will, nonetheless, have more or less ruined his life; and if he is formally charged, heaven knows what it will have done to his chances of a fair trial. Everything about him has become a target for innuendo and prurient speculation and allegations -- from the colour of his hair to his sexuality, politics, teaching methods and alleged voyeurism. We have no idea which, if any, of these claims are true. But two things are certain: first, 99% of us have no good information on which to judge the reliability of what is being published about this man; second, even if they were true, such claims are not evidence of guilt or innocence (and, if they were, they should in any case wait to be heard in court, not blazoned over the newspapers).
Maybe suspects often get this kind of press treatment; I dont honestly remember. But I have a feeling that this particular coverage has got something to do with the time of year.
This seems to have been a horrible murder; and one's heart goes out to the victim, her family and friends. Yet at the same time, the uncomfortable truth is that news of it has come into our living rooms as if it were a ready made Christmas murder mystery.
In reponse to the drip drip of information released by the police, families across the land have turned themselves into amateur sleuths. I know ours has. What could have happened to the pizza? Was it odd that she bought two bottles of cider, not one? Why not buy anything in Waitrose? And so on.
Anyone arrested under suspicion was bound to provide even more grist to the mill -- to be more fodder for our now roused curiosities. Even the dignified Head of Clifton, who was not even in post when Mr Jefferies was teaching there, seems to have had more than his fair share of hounding (as you can see on the right)
It must have been the worst Christmas imaginable for the family of Jo Yeates; but I cant help reflecting that the holiday season was a pretty bad time to be arrested on suspicion.
. . . . Aah good. I have just noticed before posting this that the Attorney General has also been reading the papers with some concern.

Sahara cave may hold clues to dawn of Egypt
By Patrick Werr
CAIRO (Reuters) - Archaeologists are studying prehistoric rock drawings discovered in a remote cave in 2002, including dancing figures and strange headless beasts, as they seek new clues about the rise of Egyptian civilisation.
Amateur explorers stumbled across the cave, which includes 5,000 images painted or engraved into stone, in the vast, empty desert near Egypt's southwest border with Libya and Sudan.
Rudolph Kuper, a German archaeologist, said the detail depicted in the "Cave of the Beasts" indicate the site is at least 8,000 years old, likely the work of hunter-gatherers whose descendants may have been among the early settlers of the then-swampy and inhospitable Nile Valley.
The cave is 10 km (6 miles) from the "Cave of the Swimmers" romanticised in the film the "English Patient", but with far more, and better preserved, images.
By studying the sandstone cave and other nearby sites, the archaeologists are trying to build a timeline to compare the culture and technologies of the peoples who inhabited the area.
"It is the most amazing cave ... in North Africa and Egypt," said Karin Kindermann, member of a German-led team that recently made a trip to the site 900 km (560 miles) southwest of Cairo.
"You take a piece of the puzzle and see where it could fit. This is an important piece," she said.
The Eastern Sahara, a region the size of Western Europe that extends from Egypt into Libya, Sudan and Chad, is the world's largest warm, dry desert. Rainfall in the desert's centre averages less than 2 millimetres a year. Continued...

Amorita B.wrote a review of Columbia Bit-O-Backside Capri Pant - Women's on June 13, 2010
These are the most lightweight capri's I have found this summer, Columbia has great fabrics. I am petite, and they length is not quite right, a little long and bulky looking...But the price is good, the feel great. If comfort is #1 for you, buy these pants, if style is #1, try a pant with a tighter cut.

Nestled in Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains, Pigeon Forge is home to a variety of special events and entertainment venues. During the nine-month tourism season, the town's population of 5500 swells on weekends to more than 70,000. While weekend tourism contributes to local business receipts, increased demands on the town's infrastructure can overwhelm services offered by the public works department, particularly at the water treatment plant.
From daily showers to commercial water rides, water consumption by tourists challenged the output capacity of Pigeon Forge's 4-mgd water treatment plant. On especially high-demand weekends, city officials requested residents adopt special conservation measures. The problem was not a supply issue—the city has an abundant water supply—but rather the ability of its current plant to produce enough drinking water. In 2000, the city took action and agreed to triple the existing water plant's capacity to meet its skyrocketing demands.
In addition to boosting output, city officials sought to streamline the plant workflow. During an average shift, workers were responsible for maintaining, inspecting, and operating the raw water intakes, storage tanks, and filter plant. With the expansion plan, the current staff would be overwhelmed and unable to perform all of the required operations.
The water plant needed to incorporate data management technology to comply with new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requirements that mandate all water production facilities retain a continuous data log of plant processes and continually create backup data files. The district also needed to improve security for its remote pump house, in response to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security vulnerability assessments.
Pigeon Forge chose to use a design-build approach to handle the automation portion of their plant upgrade. By doing so, plant managers were able to partner with consulting engineers and system integrator Smith Seckman Reid Inc. (SSR), Nashville, Tenn., and Rockwell Automation, headquartered in Milwaukee, to meet the city's goals of tripling water plant capacity, streamlining workflow, meeting documentation requirements, and increasing security.
To meet reporting requirements, immediate access to information at multiple points in the process was crucial. SSR recommended upgrading the existing relay panels to intelligent motor control centers (MCCs) and a computer monitoring system. This system would give operators a view of the entire process, including access to predictive-failure information, EPA compliance reports, and monitoring information-a vast improvement from the previous system that offered limited information throughout the process.
The water treatment process begins 17 miles from the plant site. There, water is drawn from Douglas Lake and pumped into a 300,000-gallon, above-ground concrete basin. From this tank, four transfer pumps are used to convey the raw water through 12 miles of water main to the plant and into one of four blending basins, with a flash mix added to isolate and destroy harmful bacteria. Next, the water is pumped into eight floculation basins, where the chemicals from the flash mix interact with the water to create floc, or chemically bonded clumps for sedimentation.
As water is transferred into the sedimentation basins, the floc settles to the bottom where large paddles scrape the collected floc into troughs and transfer it to the nearby wastewater treatment plant for processing. As treated water moves to the interior filtering basins, it is filtered once more before moving to the plant's clear well. The treated water is stored at system inventory sites throughout the district's service area.
Upgrades to the plant's MCC provided an array of operational and electrical information, including predictive failure alerts, to plant operators allowing for notification of system problems prior to system failures. Motor currents that approach a predetermined excessive value trigger a blinking message on the human-machine interface (HMI). This alert now gives operators time to determine the nature and location of problems and correct them before an overload occurs. In some cases, the programmable controller automatically shuts down the system to protect plant assets.
For central processing and remote terminal unit control, Pigeon Forge selected ControlLogix and MicroLogix controllers from Allen-Bradley, a division of Rockwell Automation. Installing controls at each blending basin allows plant workers to choose which pump to turn on and gives them the ability to adjust the blending speed as needed. A combination of drives and motor starters located inside networked, intelligent MCCs regulate pump and blending speed.

- - Goofy or Regular? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/snowboarding-general-chat/128977-goofy-regular.html)
Goofy or Regular?
Today I went snowboarding for the first time in 3 years (I went maybe 3 times). I've always thought I was a goofy rider, as I'm much more comfortable leading with my right foot. The problem came when I was getting into toe edge turns. No matter how long I spent trying, I couldn't get them.
So on the last run of the day I decided to ride regular and try some toe edge turns that way. It was much much easier and felt much more natural. What I spent hours trying to do goofy, I nearly got right away regular.
So am I a goofy rider or regular? As I improve my turns and gain more control, will my comfort level riding regular increase, or should I be drilling those goofy toe edge turns more?

ride goofy for heelside and regular for toeside turns... problem solved
:D To determine which way to ride you have to kick a ball, or slide on wood floors with your socks on, or have someone sneak up behind you and push you, or you can just do what zk0ot said!
Were your bindings set for riding goofy? You mentioned switching on your last run, but you didn't say if you made any adjustments to your bindings. Otherwise do what tannersdad said.
I have done those tests before, the problem was one test would imply I'm goofy, while another would imply I'm regular. I'm a very two footed person in general.
It's very odd. On one hand I'm comfortable going straight down goofy, and less so regular, but I'm comfortable turning regular, and less so goofy.
Also the bindings were set for a goofy rider, I didn't realize it really made a difference if the board was a twin? I didn't change anything when I went regular, would that have made a difference?
Thank you for all the replies by the way!
What you need to do is pick a foot that feels better to you overall, and stick with it. There are a few portions of snowboarding that just feels weird until you get more time under your belt.
As for the binding set up, it is possible for it to play a role. Turning usually does not feel as natural if the angle of the turning foot is less than the back. If I were you, try setting your stance so that the angles are the same, front and back, and fiddle with turning from there until you decide you've figured out what you like.
I was being sarcastic about the test too. I think you do have a dominate foot, But my 8 yr old hasn't figured his out yet either. His board is set up neutral and he rides both ways with no problem. He just calls himself goofy because his leash is attached to his right foot. :)

Hello fellow TDH's. First question, anybody heard from sgtfang recently? I emailed him before Christmas about getting a Mystery Helmet from him and he responded very quickly with the price and such. Sent him a paypal for it and still have heard nothing. Anybody have the ability to get it touch with him? If he can't do it that is fine but I would like my money back.
Also is there anyone else that can do the Mystery helmet? I like that one better than the Don Post ones, looks better in my opinion.

I am as badly off as you; for, hang me, if there was not a bow street runner in the town.
"It will certainly not be worth my while," returned the bow street runner curtly.
"You will never make a bow street runner," interrupted Mr. Townshend, shaking his head.
"Don't mention it, my good sir," observed the bow street runner, as he disposed of his third slice of ham.
"There was a mark," remarked the bow street runner, reflectively; and I am pretty sure it was upon this very note.
No chance of giving any one the slip in that direction; and no sign, either, of the bow street runner.
The bow street runner, however, said never a word, but proceeded with his interminable breakfast.
I believe that fellow is a bow street runner; if so, it is rum if we cannot manage to get even with him before we go.
"My name is Townshend," interrupted the bow street runner, with great distinctness.
And he says that at home he had throttled a bow street runner before he went off with the smugglers.

Indio power outage
Underground equipment failure blamed
Indio - A power outage in Indio has more than 100 customers in the dark.
It started just after 6:00 p.m. Tuesday night in an area bordered by Avenue 50 and Dr. Carreon on the north and south. It's bordered by Oasis and Calhoun on the east and west.
300 customers lost power at first. As of 8:30 p.m. Tuesday night, 120 customers were still without power.
Imperial Irrigation District officials say they're working on the problem and aren't sure when power will be restored to everyone.

Though you mightn't believe it to look out the window in Dublin today, the summer's upon us. It's time to put away thick jumpers and woolly mittens until the autumn (at least, we fervently hope it is). Instead, we're looking at relaxed garments made from cool, easy-care yarn.
So it's natural to think of Louisa Harding. She does casual elegance like no-one else, and her designs are always interesting to knit. We've got two to show you today, in different yarns, but both simple to make and uncomplicated to wear.
First, there's Hilda, a cardigan to wear all summer, from the Delphine pattern booklet. Delphine's a cotton tape yarn which is soft and smooth to the touch and which works up like lightning. The little touches of lace at front and cuffs add interest in that typical Louisa style.
The second garment is one we've been admiring for some time. Knitted in 100% cotton Ondine, this is Skipper, from the Ondine booklet.
Just look at how that lovely lazy cable grows out of the ribbing and then moves back into it at the neck – proof, really, that cables are just rib with airs.
Both of these garments would see you through an entire summer of barbecues, days by the lake and evening concerts. That's how the summer's going to be. We've decided.

The fourth-ranked Bulldogs are headed to the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans following a 10-2 regular season where they will face 10th-ranked and undefeated Hawaii (12-0). Richt is in his seventh season at Georgia with a record of 71-19. His .789 winning percentage ranks fourth best in the country among active coaches.
From December 5-15, fans can visit www.coachoftheyear.com to review bios and fan testimonials supporting each candidate and vote for their selection. Fan votes in this second phase account for 20 percent of each coach's final score, with a voting committee of college football media (25 percent) and College Football Hall of Fame coaches and players (55 percent) contributing the remainder.
The winner receives $50,000 from Liberty Mutual to support his civic and charitable activities, $20,000 in scholarship to his school's alumni association, and is recognized in the permanent Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year display at the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Ind.
During the initial fan-voting phase at www.coachoftheyear.com (September 6 – November 27), the top 25 vote getters in each division qualified to be evaluated by an objective model designed exclusively for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award and reviewed and endorsed by the College Football Hall of Fame. The model arrived at the finalists by scoring each of these qualifying coaches in four areas: coaching excellence, sportsmanship and integrity, academic excellence, and community commitment. Data used in the evaluation process include won/loss records, penalties and personal fouls, academic progress rates and academic All-Americans, charitable and civic activities and contributions, and more.
"More than a half-million fan votes were cast for 597 college football coaches this season, a tremendous and passionate outpouring of support from college football fans across the nation," said Greg Gordon, Liberty Mutual vice president, Consumer Marketing. "Each finalist embodies what makes this award different from any other: responsibility – not only to his own team and players, but also to his school and his community."
The winners will be announced Dec. 29 on an ABC special presentation hosted by Hall of Fame Sportscaster Keith Jackson and ESPN Analyst Kirk Herbstreit at 5:30 p.m. ET. The special award presentation will re-air January 8, 2008, on ESPN2 at 2 p.m. ET.
"From my vantage point in covering college football games across the country, I have the opportunity to watch these coaches execute their game plans, interact with referees and players, and meet the people they influence in their communities," said Herbstreit. "This award shines a well-deserved light on the lives of some truly remarkable men who use their mentoring role to make a positive impact on so many, both on and off the field."

Tracii Guns (born Tracy Richard Irving Ulrich on January 20, 1966)[1] is an American guitarist best known as the founder of glam metal group L.A. Guns[1] as well as the supergroups Brides of Destruction and Contraband. He was also very briefly involved in the formation of the first lineup of Guns N' Roses[1] but eventually left the group and was replaced by guitarist Slash.

Personal life[edit]
Tracii was born to Jewish parents but not raised in the faith. They were a secular family and very liberal. He was fond of a plethora of music genres as a child.
L.A. Guns (1983–1984, 1985–2002, 2005–2013, 2016-)[edit]
L.A. Guns was formed by Tracii in 1983 initially with singer Michael Jagosz, bassist Ole Beich, and drummer Rob Gardner. This lineup recorded the EP Collector's Edition No. 1 which would be the only release from the band with its current lineup and would be re–released as a bonus disc with compilation album Hollywood Raw.[2][3] Following Jagosz' subsequent exit from the band, Axl Rose joined as lead singer. However, Rose soon left to form the band Hollywood Rose with childhood friend Izzy Stradlin and guitarist Chris Weber. Within a year, Tracii himself would join Hollywood Rose, taking Bleich and Gardner with him, leading to the formation of Guns N' Roses and effectively (and as it would turn out, temporarily) putting an end to L.A. Guns.
Singer Paul Black reformed L.A. Guns, recruiting former Dogs D'Amour singer Robert Stoddard to be the new guitarist with the group, which was rounded out by Nickey "Beat" Alexander on drums and Mick Cripps on bass. Tracii (re)joined the group a short time later.[4] The group's lineup would change with Black being replaced by Girl frontman Phil Lewis, bassist Cripps switching to guitar, replacing Stoddard, and former Faster Pussycat bassist Kelly Nickels joining the group. L.A. Guns recorded their eponymous first album that was released in 1988 on Vertigo Records, charting at number 50 on the Billboard 200. On the first album's supporting tour, Alexander was replaced by former W.A.S.P. drummer Steve Riley with the lineup being regarded as the Classic lineup of L.A. Guns. This lineup remained until 1992. In 1989, they released their second album Cocked & Loaded, which charted higher on the Billboard 200 at number 38.[5] During 1991, the band released their third album Hollywood Vampires on Polydor Records. In 1995 they released their fourth album Vicious Circle, drummer Michael "Bones" Gershima played on parts of this recording as this was around the time Phil Lewis fired drummer Steve Riley in January 1992 after touring with Skid Row in support of Hollywood Vampires. Riley later returned to the band for the successful Vicious Circle club tour. After this, the L.A. Guns were dropped from Polygram (Vertigo/Polydor) Records. Phil Lewis and Mick Cripps then left the band.[6]
July 1995 saw Tracii and Steve Riley recruit vocalist Chris Van Dahl and guitarist Johnny Crypt (ex-Ripper, aka Johnny Crystal) after seeing them perform with their band Boneyard. Six months into recording sessions, Kelly Nickels left the band and Johnny switched to the bass. In 1996, the new L.A. Guns released their fifth record, titled American Hardcore. They toured throughout 1996 and into 1997 where Tracii let Chris go and was replaced by singer Ralph Saenz. Tracii, Steve, Johnny, and Ralph toured for the remainder of '97 and in early '98 released the six song EP Wasted. Halfway through the band's 1998 Rock Never Stops tour, Ralph quit to form his own band, leaving Tracii to do another singer change. Joe Lesté from Bang Tango and Jizzy Pearl from Love/Hate were considered as candidates. Lesté would last a week. Tracii and Steve picked Jizzy and quickly geared up to tour. L.A. Guns toured clubs with Jizzy in late 1998 and early 1999 when they released Shrinking Violet, produced by former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke. This release was followed shortly by Crypt's departure.
In September 1999, the classic lineup of Tracii Guns, Steve Riley, Phil Lewis, Kelly Nickels, and Mick Cripps prepared to reunite. L.A. Guns set out on the reunion tour in October 1999 and recorded a live album in their hometown of Hollywood, enlisting Gilby Clarke as producer. The album, named Live: A Night on the Strip, was released the following year. After the reunion, Mick and Kelly couldn't commit to the summer 2000 tour, so they were replaced by guitarist Brent Muscat and bassist Muddy, respectively. Ratt and L.A. Guns teamed up with Warrant for a remainder-of-the-summer tour, which L.A. Guns dropped off in August due to booking problems. Mick Cripps again rejoined the band briefly in late 2000 to record an album with the band, entitled Man in the Moon, which was released on Spitfire Records in April 2001. L.A. Guns released the album Waking the Dead, the last album to feature Tracii Guns, in August, 2002, produced by Andy Johns, to mainly positive reviews from critics and fans.[7] The future of L.A. Guns was in doubt until both Steve Riley and Phil Lewis told the Hairball John Radio Show that the band would continue despite Tracii Guns' involvement in Brides of Destruction.
In 2006, Tracii announced he was to perform a 'Best Of" tour with former L.A. Guns members Paul Black on vocals, Nickey Alexander on drums and former Brides live member Jeremy Guns rounding up the lineup on bass following a brief stint with Quiet Riot.[8][9] With The Tracii Guns Band touring, this put Brides of Destruction on indefinite hiatus in 2006. Eventually The Tracii Guns Bands would become the second L.A. Guns. Drummer Chad Stewart eventually joined the group replacing Nickey Alexander. On March 4, 2008, Tracii Guns' L.A. Guns was announced as one of the acts of the second Rocklahoma festival.
In 2008, Tracii Guns' L.A. Guns signed a deal with Alexis Records and began working on material for a new album with producer Steve Thompson. Singer Marty Casey, of Lovehammers, was asked to co-write some songs with the band by bassist Jeremy Guns. Eventually Paul Black left the group and Marty was asked to replace him. They finished recording the album and set a release date for March 2009.[10] The group toured through 2008 and early 2009 and also recorded a pilot for VH1. While waiting for a release date to be set for the new album, as well as deciding on a new name for the band, Marty Casey returned to Lovehammers releasing new album Heavy Crown. Jizzy Pearl returned to front L.A. Guns for a summer tour while guitarist Alec Bauer departed the band.[11]
Guns N' Roses (1985)[edit]
In 1985 Tracii and Axl Rose decided to merge their groups L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose to form a new group. Rose named the band Guns N' Roses, combining the two names of the bands. The lineup featured Axl Rose on vocals, Tracii on lead guitar, Izzy Stradlin on rhythm guitar, Ole Beich on bass and Rob Gardner on drums.[12] Tracii had been trying to recruit Rose and Stradlin into a group before. However, Tracii, as well as the other former L.A. Guns members Ole Beich and Rob Gardner, departed the group and were replaced by Slash, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler.[13]
Contraband (1991)[edit]
Contraband was a short-lived supergroup/side project that included vocalist Richard Black, of Shark Island, guitarist Michael Schenker, of Scorpions, UFO and Michael Schenker Group, bassist Share Pedersen, of Vixen, drummer Bobby Blotzer, of Ratt, and Tracii taking up the second guitar role. They released one self-titled album in 1991 which received lukewarm reviews. The album was a commercial failure and the band disbanded shortly after, while touring with Ratt.[14]
Brides of Destruction (2002–2005)[edit]
Despite signing a deal Spitfire Records, Tracii Guns left L.A. Guns during the recording of a new album,[15] to form Brides of Destruction with Nikki Sixx, initially with the name Cockstar, after Mötley Crüe went on hiatus. After a number of changes, the lineup was rounded off with singer London LeGrand and drummer Scot Coogan. They released Here Come The Brides, which charted at number 92 on the Billboard 200, in 2004[16] and was the first album featuring Tracii to chart since Hollywood Vampires in 1991. Nikki Sixx would leave the group in October 2004. Initially Tracii was to form a new band with the remaining Brides members and also offered his services to Axl Rose in a bid to join Guns N' Roses.[17] Eventually he continued with the Brides and Scott Sorry formerly of Amen was chosen as Sixx's replacement. Ginger of The Wildhearts was added as the band's second guitarist. The band then started writing for what would become Runaway Brides but soon after, Ginger departed the Brides.[18] The follow-up to Here Come the Brides, Runaway Brides, was produced by Andy Johns who had previously worked with Tracii on the L.A. Guns album Waking the Dead. Three of the songs of the album were cowritten by Nikki Sixx having been written during the Here Come the Bride sessions with former guitarist Ginger also contributing writing on 3 tracks prior to leaving. The album saw a change in a style with it leaning towards a heavy metal sound in contrast with the hard rock/post-grunge sound of the first album. "Dimes in Heaven" was written as a tribute to recently deceased Pantera and Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell.[19] After signing a new deal with Shrapnel Records, the album was released in Europe on September 13 and on September 27 in the US.[20][21] A video was shot for "White Trash" but both the album and the single failed to chart. With the formation of The Tracii Guns Band, later the second L.A. Guns, the Brides were put on indefinite hiatus.
Tracii Guns' League of Gentlemen (2012-present)[edit]
In 2012, Guns formed a blues-rock band called Tracii Guns' League of Gentlemen with frontman Scott Foster Harris, a onetime member of the L.A. Guns.[22] Harris, a native Texan, provides vocals for the League.[23] Other musicians in this band playing alongside Guns' guitar include Craig "Patches" McCloskey, a Philadelphian bass-player, ex-L.A. Guns and ex-Burning Tree drummer Doni Gray, and Los Angeles keyboarder John Bird.[24] The League focuses on the genre's roots in 1960s and 1970s British and American psychedelic blues and rock music.[25]
In June 2013, the League released its first album, appropriately titled The First Record with California label Shrapnel Records. With tracks more traditional 60's blues-rock than what fans had expected from Guns, the debut record was met with positive responses from critics, one of whom professed that the album would "silence [any] Guns naysayers,"[26] as well as new fans.[27] In August 2014, The Second Record was released, again with Shrapnel Records.
Other work[edit]
In 1999, Tracii played a show in Hollywood, California with former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke, who produced the L.A. Guns album Shrinking Violet in the same year, as part of his solo band with the performance being released the same year as 99 Live. In 2002, Tracii contributed guitars on the Clarke's solo album Swag,[28] with some of these tracks appearing on the 2007 compilation album Gilby Clarke.[29] Also in 1999, Tracii released his debut album Killing Machine, which was later re-released in 2004 with the new title of All Eyes are Watchin'.
Tracii was also in Poison[1] for a short time in early 2000, when C.C. Deville departed the band for a month over a dispute over his new band opening for Poison that summer. Tracii joined Quiet Riot in December 2005, a move that was to be short lived after he parted ways less than a month later.[8][9]
In 2004, Tracii featured on the album The Roots of Guns N' Roses, the album featuring the original demos by Hollywood Rose, on tracks remixed by Gilby Clarke.[30]
In the fall of 2005, Tracii was planning on collaborating with Adler's Appetite in a project titled "Guns N' Roses Revisited", with a tour of Asia planned.[31] However, it never happened due to Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose threatening to file legal action.
In 2007, Tracii guested on the debut album Dopesnake by Hollywood Roses along with Mick Taylor formerly of The Rolling Stones, Phil Lewis and Paul Black both also of L.A. Guns, Gilby Clarke formerly of Guns N' Roses and Rock Star Supernova, Fred Coury of Cinderella and formerly of London, Teddy Andreadis, Pat Travers and Hollywood Rose founder Chris Weber.[32]
It was announced in October 2008, that Steven Adler had formed a new supergroup with Tracii called Guns of Destruction. The band's lineup rounded up by Adler's Appetite and Enuff Z'nuff bassist Chip Z'nuff and singer Eric Dover of Sextus and formerly of Jellyfish and Slash's Snakepit. They were to make their live debut at the Key Club in Hollywood on November, 19 with "very special guests" in attendance.[33] However the group was to be short lived and Dover soon announced that he was not involved in the project.[34]
After performing together at the "Giving 2010" benefit event on May 3, 2010,[35] Guns formed the cover band "Carnival of Dogs" with Matt Sorum (Velvet Revolver, Camp Freddy, formerly of Guns N' Roses and The Cult), Franky Perez (Solo, Scars on Broadway, DKFXP, Apocalyptica) and Phil Soussan (formerly of Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol and Vince Neil).[36]
In 2012, Guns worked with Italian producer Pietro Foresti on the song "America Dreaming" with Italian band J27.[37]
In 2013, Guns joined the band of the production "Raiding The Rock Vault" at the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV.[38]
In 2014 Guns formed the Devil City Angels, featuring Brandon Gibbs (Cheap Thrills) vocals, Ricki Rocket (Poison) drums & Eric Brittingham (Cinderella) Bass. The self-titled debut album was officially released September 11, 2015.[39]
In the summer of 2016, Guns teamed up with Phil Lewis for the first time in 14 years for a handful of shows under the name "L.A. Guns' Phil Lewis + Tracii Guns".[40] Under the "L.A. Guns" name, Guns and Lewis plan to record a new album together.[41]

Highway Star
Is there a warning buzzer on '79 models when the lights are left on (headlight/parking)? I've left the lights on my '79 CDV a few times as there is no warning reminder. The manual mentions a warning buzzer for cars with the "Twilight Sentinal" option, but my car has the regular headlight set-up (no Twilight or Guide-matic).

Open Thread
For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: new powers to be given to the Federal Reserve in order to solve the current and prevent future financial crises (paragraph break removed):
A plan set for release Monday would give new powers to the Federal Reserve so that the central bank serves as the system's overarching protector of stability. The proposal would abolish agencies such as the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, shifting their responsibilities to other federal institutions.
Does such a move scare you? Is this a similar overreaction to corporate malfeasance as Sarbanes-Oxley was to Enron? Similar to Soxley, will whatever legislation that emerges today end up harming lending and the real estate market tomorrow?

Matching black satin shirts, black ties to match. Five-points and beehives and quiffs piled high with pomade. It's not that Make Up look cooler than everybody else put together, not that they act like that. Make Up just are cooler than everybody else put together.
Rock pedigrees non pareils. At most, two degrees of separation between members Ian Svenonius, Steve Gamboa, Michelle Mae, James Canty and every cool band ever to come from the D.C. area. The smoldering legacy of Nation of Ulysses. About a billion records under their belts after five years of straight-dope talkin' and testifyin', preaching their permutation of the Word at home and abroad, on French television even, to uncounted legions of rabid adherents to Make Up's hip-shakin' "gospel yeh-yeh."
You think you've heard R&B before. Maybe. But you've never heard it stripped down to such a splendid and apocalyptic result. John Spencer can bite it. And if you've never heard Make Up, you've never heard the gospel yeh-yeh: "a proclaimed 'liberation theology' with a decidedly unchristian emphasis on earthly transformation … this faith is an apocalyptic affair, with ministers urging their flock to 'get theirs' and 'off the pigs—in all their forms'."
You may have seen a frontman or two before. But if you've never seen Ian Svenonius, you've never seen a frontman. Svenonius unleashed, stalking the perimeter of a few dozen gaping kids assembled upstairs at Union Hall. Svenonius fit to strangle himself with the cord of his own microphone, amorous deadpan splitting into a mind-scraping falsetto howl while the band, in matching yellow pantsuits, pulse studiously behind him. Canty alternating between spare shagging riffles and the ecumenical whiff of churchy organ, sending Svenonius into further paroxysms of gospel bliss. You know that part in "Get on the Good Foot" where James Brown unleashes that shriek you think is going to give the dog a seizure? You haven't even heard that.
The Message is out there: on shiny aluminum discs and slabs of oily black vinyl. Pick up a Make Up recording, any one of them, and dig the tight, tuff sound of the Cool. The Sound of the Look. Dig a song like "I Want Some," with Svenonius crooning "I want some … gimme some … I want a piece … I want a piece, yeah yeah" over an imperturbable woody bass line and Mae giving up the glacially cool "oohs," and "aahs." Dig a song like "Every Baby Cries the Same." Dig those dry spare taps, the out-of-nowhere squall of feedback and the tremolo solo. Just dig it. Dig all of it.
Because brothers and sisters, these are strange times we're living in. Vinyl siding salesmen coming at you with promises of deliverance and salvation, in your neighborhood today with pamphlets and codices and special offers to get you in good with the Lord, all proclaiming to be the only way. Anymore you need good inferno to show you mean business, so get the Plan up front before you sign your name on anything. And let your body be a tabernacle for Make Up's gospel yeh-yeh.
Make-Up play 140 West Pine on Wednesday, April 5 at 8 PM. DJ Beyonda opens. Tickets are $6.

Osteosarcoma, preferentially metastasizes to the lung. The presence of lung metastases has a major impact on the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma. Upon surgical removal of the tumor in the lung, new pulmonary metastases often recur within months suggesting micro-metastatic disease resistant to systemic chemotherapy.
The Sustained release lipid inhalation targeting (SLIT) technology offers the potential ability to attain a prolonged therapeutic effect of cisplatin in the lung by sustained release. The ability to give SLIT Cisplatin by inhalation directly to the lung permits high drug levels at the site of disease with low systemic exposure.
Patients will receive SLIT Cisplatin by inhalation for a 14-day treatment cycle in this phase Ib/IIa, two-center, open-label, study designed to characterize the maximum tolerated dose. Clinical efficacy endpoints will be included and compared to historical controls, in addition to pharmacokinetics characterization. Efficacy will be evaluated after at least 2 cycles of therapy. Safety data, including laboratory parameters and adverse events will be collected to determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicity, and reversibility of toxicity, of SLIT Cisplatin. Pulmonary function tests will be performed at baseline, prior to each course and at off-study.

Feminism | Posted by David G on 08/29/2016
An Interview With Agunda Okeyo
Agunda Okeyo is, above all, an activist. While her work spans from the writing desk to the director's chair, all of her projects have a unifying focus: raising awareness about feminism and the neo-civil rights movement.
One of the more famous events she organizes is "Sisters of Comedy," a comedy show that features comediennes of color and which is hosted at comedy club Caroline's in New York, the city she calls home. Established in 2014, the show also centers around a different, socially relevant theme each year. It's especially important because it grants a voice to women of color in show business, proving to the comedy world that women of color can (of course) be funny and fill theater seats.
Ms. Okeyo spoke to us …

About Gouden Carolus Classic
In a old chronicle of Mechelen we read that the this emperors beer, named after the golden coins of Emperor Charles, especially drinked with the fox-hunting. "Because it brought aswell the riders as the horses in full fire and they gallop so the hunt was always in the best atmosphere". This "Emperors-beer" is still brewed in our brewery. The "Gouden Carolus" is brewed with dark, very balanced dosed maltsorts according to the classical infusion-method. Through the combination of caramel and aromatic malts, and with the traditional highed fermentation we get a special beer that combines the warmness of wine and the freshness of beer. Through his high density of 19° Plato the "Gouden Carolus Classic" is classified under the special beers. Through here it is very good for certain culinary destinations like stews, game and even sabayon. Unlimited tenable it will smile to you with color and flavor. The true connoisseur drinks it in small sips to enjoy it fully.

|[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-341) Enhance distcp to handle *http* as a 'source protocol'.
|Mon, 03 Jul 2006 18:32:30 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-341?page=all ] Arun C Murthy updated HADOOP-341: --------------------------------- Attachment: distcp.patch Here's a patch which enables distcp to work with http based source files. It also provides a -f option to distcp to provide an input file with urls (arbitrary combinations of dfs & http source paths). > Enhance distcp to handle *http* as a 'source protocol'. > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-341 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-341 > Project: Hadoop > Type: Improvement > Components: util > Reporter: Arun C Murthy > Attachments: distcp.patch > > Requirements: > Presently distcp recursively copies a directory from one dfs to another i.e. both source and destination of of the *dfs* protocol. > Enhance it to handle *http* as the source protocol i.e. support copying files from arbitrary http-based sources into the dfs. > Design: > > Follow distcp's current design: one map task per file which needs to be copied. > Caveat: distcp handles *recursive* copying by listing sub-directories; this is not as feasible with a http-based source since things like 'fancy-indexing' might not be enabled on the web-server (for all sub-locations recursively too), and even if it is enabled it will mean tedious parsing of the html served to glean the sub-directories etc. Hence the idea is to support an input file (via a -f option) which contains a list of the http-based urls which represent multiple source files. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
