We are finding that many small writes to a shared filesystem cause a performance impact. We figure users are writing to a shared filesystem because they want feedback so if we can give them a qpeek, they can be happy to spool the small writes to a local filesystem instead. Gareth

Just my opinion...
now, what freshmeat is or isn't I am not sure... but i personally do not want to start seeing 10,000 crappy VisualBasic programs pop up on here. I personally would like to think of freshmeat as a collecection of software that i can actually find usefull... preferably under the GPL or similar licence, and in a language that is easily ported... I think that freshmeat should remain a software listing of unix utilities and programs, and possibly other things such as BeOS apps... but only if the source is avaliable. I find no use in closed source, or extreamly limited source applications.... i like my free beer and free speach.

Compiles and works great on Slackware 7.... and to think., i was really missing out by running redhat. This makes my switch well worth it =) (well... that, and TGZs are just easier than RPMs)

Mark from Livonia asks:
I hate to brag, but I have a lot of Facebook friends. Is there any way for me to keep them all organized?
If you like everything neat and organized, like me, then you might be a little disappointed with your Facebook account. With hundreds of friends, it would be nice if we could sort through them a little easier; am I right? Today, I'm going to tune you into a feature you may not have noticed before, called Friend Lists. Friend Lists allow you to handpick and create groups of friends, and they're a cinch to make! Let's check it out!
Begin by logging into your Facebook account. In the upper right hand corner, select Account, followed by Edit Friends.
Continue by selecting Create a List, and a window will appear.
Now you can enter a name for your new friend list and add people by either selecting or entering in their name. Select Create List, when you've finished, and presto!
What are the advantages of having your friends categorized, you ask? My favorite feature is in the chat window, where you can get a good look at who is online by category, without a massive list of every single online friend.
Also, whenever Facebook prompts you to enter in a friend's name, you can enter in the name of a list as well. Using friend lists, sending a message to a group of people just got a whole lot easier.
Finally, you can use friend lists to help you better manage your Facebook privacy settings, and I'll show you how! Once again, select Account in the top right corner, and then select Privacy Settings.
Now, scroll to the Sharing on Facebook portion of the page, and select Customize Settings.
Here, you can see a list of information Facebook can share about you.
To edit a particular item, select the menu next to it. For example, I am going to edit the privacy settings to alter who can see "the places I check into."
Select the arrow on the menu, and then click Customize.'
Facebook allows you to customize who can or cannot see specific information. Usually, you'd have to select individuals one-by-one, but using friend lists, you can just enter the name of a list, select Save Setting, and you're done! Check out my example below.
You now have pinpoint control over exactly who can see which parts of your Facebook profile. Cool, huh?!
That's it – I hope friend lists can make your Facebook experience a little more pleasurable and organized. Enjoy!

Learn MoreLal Bahadur Shastri was the third (second, and acting, being Gulzarilal Nanda) Prime Minister of Independent India and a significant figure in the Indian independence movement.Shastri worked by his natural characteristics to obtain compromises between opposing viewpoints, but in his short tenure was ineffectual in dealing with the economic crisis and food shortage in the nation. However, he commanded a great deal of respect in the Indian populace, and he used it to advantage in pushing the Green Revolution in India; which directly led to India becoming a food-surplus nation, although he did not live to see it. During the 22-day war with Pakistan, Lal Bahadur Shastri created the slogan of "Jai Jawan Jai Kisan" ("Hail the soldier, Hail the farmer"), underlining the need to boost India's food production. Apart from emphasizing the Green Revolution, he was instrumental in promoting the White Revolution. Greatly impressed by a visit to the Kaira district in October 1964, he urged the rest of the country to learn from the successful experiment at Anand. The National Dairy Development Board was formed in 1965 during his tenure as Prime Minister.Though he was Socialist, Shastri stated that India cannot have a regimented type of economy. During his tenure as Prime Minister, he visited Russia, Yugoslavia, England, Canada and Burma in 1965.

Celebrity Fashion: Hits and Misses of the Week (GALLERY)
Stunning stars flaunted their goodies in show-stopping pieces as they got glammed up to make public appearances.
Fashion designer Whitney Port attended the Magic tradeshow in Las Vegas, appearing fashion-forward in her funky attire, and actress Ashley Greene looked flawless in a pink strapless gown as she promoted her new feature The Apparition.
Yet, other A-listers such as newly engaged Avril Lavigne were a complete fashion disaster.
Who dazzled and who disappointed in Tinseltown fashion this week?
One fashion mistake was made by actress Kirsten Dunst, who was spotted out in a frumpy blue dress that could have been confused for a trench coat, as she promoted her new flick Bachelorette.
But America's Next Top Model host Tyra Banks was a sight for sore eyes as she attended a party in New York City for her hit show — donning a sleek black number, the model definitely worked it.

Parties to rush through new powers
Page Tools
Laws to give the State Ombudsman greater powers to investigate police corruption will be rushed through Parliament next Tuesday.
Opposition Leader Robert Doyle wrote to Premier Steve Bracks yesterday offering to push through greater powers for the Ombudsman to uncover corruption.
The move came after police witness Terrence Hodson, due to give evidence against two allegedly corrupt police, and his wife Christine were shot in their Kew home at the weekend.
Mr Doyle met Ombudsman George Brouwer yesterday to discuss anti-corruption steps, which include the power to force people to answer questions and laws to let the Ombudsman launch his own investigations.
"We need to know whether these latest killings are connected to gangland killings, whether the gangland killings are connected with corruption in the police, and we need those answers fast," Mr Doyle said.
Mr Bracks said the bill would be debated in Parliament next week and would give the Ombudsman the same powers as a royal commission, including the power to conduct searches and seize evidence.
He said he was frustrated by the series of underworld killings but the police investigation was "like a duck on the water" and there was a "lot of activity" going on out of sight.
"What we've done is give... the Ombudsman coercive powers of a royal commission. That is good news," he said.
Police Minister Andre Haermeyer said there was no evidence of any link between the latest murders and the recent spate of gangland killings.
But he said the killing of a police witness was a serious concern and was being assiduously investigated.
"Where you have witnesses being shot this way, that is something that is of great concern to us," he said. "They were offered witness protection, but you can't force witness protection on a witness."
What we've done is give power to the independent body... coercive powers of a royal commission.
- Steve Bracks
Mr Haermeyer rejected calls for a royal commission on police corruption, saying that a commission was open to manipulation by lawyers and would only make it more difficult to prosecute corrupt officers.

Empireonline.com has set up a page that is slowly revealing the full-body picture of the Batman's archenemy.
Soon we are about to finally have what looks like to be our first look at the full-body image of "The Dark Knight" super-villain the Joker in outfit, played by Oscar nominee Heath Ledger.
Yes, Empireonline.com has launched a page under the name of HeIsComing which covers an image underneath nine playing cards. On the top of the page, words stating "All will be revealed" are read.
Four of the cards have been put aside to show the feet and left arm of this Batman's archenemy. It is presumed that the clear, full picture will be completely exposed by the end of this week. Head over to the link above to see the image.
UPDATE 11/28/2007: The exclusive photo turns out to have already got leaked on the net while it was supposed to debut in full online this week. The image, as speculated, is used for the cover of the January 2008 issue of Empire Magazine, which will feature an interview with Ledger, who describes the character as a "cold-blooded mass-murdering clown."

Understanding a Tumor Board
Cancer Center experts meet to discuss patient cases and come up with innovative treatment options that could save lives
The U-M experts who are in attendance depend on each patient's health situation.
Most Tumor Boards:
Surgical oncologist a doctor with special training in treating cancer who may perform biopsies to diagnose cancer, or treat a cancer by removing tumors or other cancerous tissue.
Radiation oncologist a doctor who specializes in the use of radiation to treat cancer.
Pathologist a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and classifying diseases by lab tests, such as looking at tissue and cells under a microscope. The pathologist determines whether a mass or blood sample contains cancer and, if it is cancer, the exact cell type (where it started) and grade (how fast it likely will grow).
Some Tumor Boards
Hepatologist a specialist in diagnosing and treating liver disease. Other types of cancer would have specialists such as gastroenterologists or dermatologists.
Transplant surgeon a doctor who performs organ transplants, moving an organ from one body to another to replace a damaged or absent organ.
Radiologist a doctor who uses imaging techniques (e.g., X-rays, CT scans) to both diagnose and treat disease. In cancer care, this specialist might also perform needle biopsies using the CT or ultrasound technique to locate a tumor and obtain a tissue sample for a diagnosis.
Multidisciplinary Thoracic Oncology Conference
Pulmonary specialist a doctor who specializes in treating diseases of the lungs, including lung cancer.
Nuclear medicine a doctor who applies radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

London firefighters beg men: Stop putting privates in machinery
posted at 7:15 am on October 12, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Thankfully, this isn't a major cause of ambulance dispatches, but EMS and firefighter officials are frustrated enough with it in London to start an ad campaign. The message? Don't put your tools in the wrong toolbox, or something:
The London Fire Brigade has launched a public campaign dubbed "Fifty Shades of Red," theorizing that an increase in such randy rescue calls in that city is perhaps propelled by the popularity of the erotic romance novel "Fifty Shades of Grey."
The campaign simply urges people in London — especially guys — to exercise more common sense before inserting their manhood into gadgets made for cooking or cleaning. The brigade reports that it responded to 416 stuck-body-part calls in 2010-11, another 441 in 2011-12 and 453 in 2012-13. Among those emergency requests for assistance, 79 people were wearing handcuffs they could not remove.
To help fuel the agency's gentle request to just stop doing these things, the brigade has added a dose of public shaming, often taking to Twitter to share some of these ambulance requests from people who have become oddly entangled.
That's not a bluff:

Two Yemeni bomb-makers killed in Sana'a
An explosion ripped through a residential building in the Yemeni capital Sana'a Friday, killing two bomb-makers, police said. The Ministry of Interior said in a statement the homemade bomb went off prematurely, killing one person instantly and seriously wounding another, who later died on the way to a hospital.
"The initial investigations have showed that the two men were preparing a bomb which exploded," the ministry said.
Police identified one of the victims as Mohammed Abdel Khaleq al-Boreihi. The identity of the other and the motive for the bombing were not clear. Police said three people, including one who shared the rented apartment with the victims, were arrested and were being interrogated, AP reported.
A search of the blown-up apartment revealed explosive materials and weapons, including rocket-propelled grenades, police stated. (Albawaba.com)

This is our most popular board and a customer favorite for sure. "Malama Kai" roughly translates to "Take Care of the Ocean" in Hawaiian. This finless paipo is made to have some serious fun! Just get out there, revisit that ocean you fell in love with in a whole new way. Paipos are designed to be ridden prone but a few people can stand and shred on them. Paipos are an absolute blast in hollow surf! Way faster than a body board and most agree way more soul. The subtle flex characteristics allow the board to fit in the wave but remain stiff enough to crank a mean cutback with style and speed to spare. From the biggest hollow surf down to 1 foot shore break, just strap on some fins, drop in at the last possible second and feel like a grom again. Paipos have a way of making any surf exciting and new. Got small waves? The Malama Kai is AWESOME in the small stuff! It's just so fast it doesn't take much of a wave to get you going...Small waves watch out!
*Since each board is made custom, most orders take about 6 weeks for delivery.

The Malama Kai and Preacher models are good, solid paipos, as is the Xylem owner/shaper. The boards are literally steals for the work that goes into them.

REDLANDS - Twenty-one people spread over eight Cuca's tables at Saturday's Coffee with the Council. Mayor Pete Aguilar attributed the high number to the presence of state Sen. Bill Emerson, R-Rancho Cucamonga.
The monthly meeting is an open discussion attended by two council representatives - this week Aguilar was joined by Councilman Jon Harrison. As always, several topics were brought up, including the replacement of illegally cut redwoods and street repaving.
Trudy Waldron, representing the Adult Literacy Program at A.K. Smiley Public Library, introduced a new subject.
She said the program has been struggling to reinstate itself since it lost its state grant in 2006. That grant was contingent on the city kicking in $10,000 a year, but adult literacy had not made the cut in a vote of budget priorities around 2005.
Harrison, who was on the council then, says it was a hard decision and a hard time.
"That was a period of time we as a council were spending out of our reserves," Harrison said. "There were a lot of programs that were affected."
Waldron said Harrison told her the next day it was unavoidable - a factor was that the cut affected only 27 people.
"Twenty-seven affected? My heart sank," she said. "It was 27 times their wives, children and community! That minimized the importance. It broke my heart."
After the grant was lost, the paid director position disappeared and the program ended, but Waldron, a volunteer tutor at the time, continued to meet with her learner. She later found out another woman did the same, and in 2010 they met and joined forces to bring the program back, running it themselves on a volunteer basis, which they are doing.
But they need a paid director and updated materials. Waldron said she is more the education person than the business leader, but estimates they need just less than $50,000 a year.
The grant had been for hundreds of thousands, Harrison tried to recall.
Aguilar recommended Waldron present the need to the entire City Council so the members could discuss it with the library board.
"Our responsibility is to give the library board a number," he said.
The head of the board has a list of items to allocate his budget to, he said.
"Their priorities have been people," the mayor said. "They want an I.T. person. They have some building maintenance issue they want to address."
But he urged Waldron to pursue her concerns.
"I think that that's within bounds. I think that that's relevant," Aguilar said.
Waldron stresses she is not necessarily asking for money. She wants the city to be aware of the need and to offer ideas.
"I have personally viewed the other needs of the library, the children's room, I.T.," Waldron said. "I would be horrified if people thought I wanted to take money from those."
In 2012 the program clocked about 4,000 volunteer hours.
"It's grown such that a volunteer coordinator is almost a full-time position," Waldron said.
Waldron estimated the group tutored about 60 people in 2012.
"Every week we have someone come in and say they need help with literacy needs," she said.
But Waldron and her partner are the backbone, and she says they're "aging out."
"We feel it's our responsibility to make sure this program has a good foundation," she said, and added that the need increases every year, and she's 70 years old.
She said the majority of those served are women, and their most common motive is the desire to help their children with their homework or to read to them.
"The reality is we really feel that this is a program that is vital to this community," she said. "As we look around at other communities, we see that many see this as a high priority."
One of the sad aspects of the city losing its grant funding is Redlands is no longer regarded in Sacramento as a city that prioritizes this, she said.
All the cities that made good on their effort to keep their funding in place will be more apt to receive future grant money, she said.
"We need as a community to say this is important enough for us to work as a body," she said, "and keep this program in place."
The next Coffee with the Council will be March 16 at The Corner Bakery.

Sitka Management Area
The Sitka Management Area includes salt waters adjacent to and all fresh waters of Baranof, Yakobi, and western Chichagof Island from Column Point in the north to Point Hayes in the south. The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is the primary land manager; other Sitka area land managers include private individuals, City & Borough of Sitka (CBS), Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR), National Park Service (NPS) and native organizations. Fish and game resources within this area are managed out of the Sitka Office of the Department of Fish and Game.
Sitka (about 8,000 residents) is the only large community located within the Sitka Management Area. Smaller communities include Pelican, Baranof Warm Springs and Port Alexander. The Sitka Management Area is linked to other areas in Southeast Alaska, Canada, and Washington via the Alaska Marine Highway system and commuter airline service. Commercial airline service is also available in Sitka. Vast marine areas can be accessed by boat from ports at each community, while localized road systems provide limited access to nearby streams. Remote areas can be accessed via boat or float equipped aircraft.
The Sitka Management Area offers a wide variety of recreational fishing opportunities. Anglers can target all five species of Pacific salmon: king, coho, sockeye, chum and pink. Fisheries for these species occur primarily in marine waters but coho and pink salmon are also targeted to a lesser degree along shoreline areas and in fresh water. The outer coast, with its islands, reefs, and protected bays, provides a wide diversity of marine fish species. Popular sport fisheries occur in marine waters for halibut, lingcod and rockfish, while shellfish such as king and dungeness crab, shrimp and variety of clams support smaller fisheries. Steelhead and anadromous and resident forms of Dolly Varden and cutthroat trout support small freshwater fisheries. Two lakes along the Sitka road system have established populations of brook trout originally introduced in 1936, and Beaver Lake, also on the road system, was recently stocked with Arctic grayling to develop a local sport fishery.
Tourism, including a growing sport fishing charter industry, is vital to the economy of Sitka and other communities. The number of registered charter vessels based in Sitka nearly doubled between 1991 and 1992, and, between 1992 and 1998, doubled again to 240 vessels. In 1998, harvests by anglers aboard charter vessels comprised 65%, 85% and 88% of all king, coho, and halibut harvested in the Sitka marine sport fishery.

New numbers on where we are with this CommitFest: 71 patches were submitted 3 patches were withdrawn (deleted) by their authors -- 68 total patches currently in the application -- 3 committed to 9.0 -- 65 9.1 patches -- 1 rejected 5 returned with feedback 11 committed for 9.1 -- 17 9.1 patches disposed -- 48 pending 8 ready for committer -- 40 will still need reviewer attention 9 waiting on author to respond to review -- 31 need review before further action 13 "Needs Review" patches don't have a reviewer assigned -- 18 patches have reviews due within four days or less I had particular concerns about the synchronous replication patches, because I've seen competing patches like that lead to significant wheel-spinning and duplication of effort. To try to minimize that, I asked Yeb to do a preliminary review of both. He has not completed reporting on that, but expects to finish within a day or two. My hope is that all parties who want to move this forward will join efforts and bring their ideas to bear on a single patch. I see that nobody has signed up for the GSoC patch regarding materialized views. Do we have an official "mentor" for this effort? Would it be a good or bad idea for that person to do the review? Although we've had some discussion around Markus Wanner's WIP refactoring patches and the prerequisite miscellaneous patches, there's nobody down as a Reviewer for any of them. I understand that the six WIP patches are there for feedback, not with expectation of a commit in this CF, but I'm less clear about the two prerequisite patches. The "WIP patch for serializable transactions with predicate locking" is big, but there's no expectation of a commit this CF, and Joe assures me he's working on it every day; so nobody should be concerned about the lack of a review post on that so far. I am hopeful that in the next week we can clear a lot of the pending patches which have already had some review, and get someone on every unclaimed patch. -Kevin "Kevin Grittner" <Kevin(dot)Grittner(at)wicourts(dot)gov> wrote: > 68 patches were submitted > 3 patches were withdrawn (deleted) by their authors > -- > 65 total patches currently in the application > -- > 3 committed to 9.0 > -- > 62 9.1 patches > -- > 1 rejected > 3 returned with feedback > 1 committed for 9.1 > -- > 57 pending > 10 ready for committer > -- > 47 will still need reviewer attention > 6 waiting on author to respond to review > -- > 41 need review before further action > 23 patches "Needs Review" patches don't have a reviewer assigned > -- > 18 patches have reviews due within four days

Please excuse a question from a computer numpty.
Been trying for days to get this sorted.
No1 PC (Compaq) runs on XP home, No2 PC (Acer) runs on Vista HP & I want to use a wired router so that PC2 can access the internet.
We have Virgin broadband.
The internet connection on PC1 is fine, but PC2 won't connect, we keep getting an error message saying there is a connectivity problem.
Belkins tech support is about as much use as a back pocket in a sock. They claim a faulty network card on PC2. Acer's tech support haven't replied.
According to the Belkin help menu, we need to run the network setup wizard on both machines, but apparently its not supported by Vista?
Do I need to buy a different model of router?

Imagine, if you can, a Utah with an attorney general so free of scandal and suspicion that, when a business comes to him for help, nobody worries that the fix might be in.
OK. So even Walt Disney's imagination wasn't that big.
An outfit called KV Pharmaceuticals met with Utah Attorney General John Swallow the other day, pleading its case that Utah's Medicaid program is breaking the law by buying a cheaper substitute for one of its products. It is a case that involves many issues: Medicaid spending, the political pull that drug-makers have and the question of whether, when it comes to life-saving prescription medicine, cheaper is better.
KV makes Makena, a drug invented a long time ago by another firm, that has been found to help prevent preterm births in certain women. But a similar concoction is whipped up in individual compounding pharmacies around Utah and, because the made-to-order doses cost maybe 1 percent of what KV's factory-produced injections go for, Medicaid clients are steered to the compounding pharmacy version.
Savings to Utah taxpayers: Some $640,000 last year.
Compounding pharmacies have produced the drug in Utah with no reported problems. But fatal flaws in drugs produced by such pharmacies elsewhere have raised red flags.
An attorney general who was above reproach might be able to settle this dispute in a way everyone could accept as fair. But, in the public eye, Swallow's resume consists primarily of soliciting money from, and trying to arrange favors for, businesses who care a lot about government regulations.
Swallow has ignored good advice that he should resign. If he won't quit, he should at least keep away from this dispute.
And that's really too bad. Because Utah deserves an attorney general who could help settle this important matter.

I am 25 yr old female, and have my surgery date for Liposuction of my ab/flanks/back/thighs in 2 wks.. Possibly side effects later in life due to lipo? 20 yrs from now, will I have any complications that may arise due to the Liposuction?
I Am Concerned About Aging and the Effect the Liposuction Will Have Long Term?
Doctor Answers 12
Liposuction - Long Term Side Effects?
I am not aware, whether in my own practice or from reading I have done, etc., of any long-term health problems related to liposuction. Of course, lipo is only lipo - it removes fat from specific areas, and the final results depend on what you look like before, your surgery, and the way your body heals into its new shape. And it does not prevent future weight gain, although fat in the future may be deposited in a different distribution than if you did not have lipo. But long term health concerns? I don't know of any.
I hope that this helps, and good luck,
Dr. E

Liposuction should not result in problems down the line
Once an area undergoes liposuction, the fat cells are reduced and some scar tissue forms making it less likely that the problem area will be problematic again. Lots of patients ask if they will gain fat in other areas after liposuction over time. If you remain fit and healthy, other areas should not become problem areas. If there is significant weight gain over time, however, all bets are off and the liposuction result will not last. Liposuction does not cause any unhealthy issues over time.

Liposuction shouldn't have late appearing side effects
Liposuction, when performed appropriately, should not have any untoward long term consequences on your health or later aesthetics. Obviously, maintaining your weight will allow you to preserve your results for the long term.

Long term effects of liposuction
Liposuction has been around for twenty five years so if there were long term negative effects we would be well aware of them by now. So as we age the things that change to our skin will still happen in the areas where you are going to have liposuction, such as thinning of the deeper layers of your skin and pigmentation changes. But the liposuction will not acclerate that process nor keep it from happening. If you have a nice smooth result from the surgery at age 25 in general it will still be smooth when you are 55, but your skin will look like that of a 55 year old, not a 25 year old.
So there are no metabolic or whole body changes that could happen to you long term from the liposuction. It doesn't cause cancer or disease later in life. And in general if the liposuction removes fat from your body there is long term benefits from that process that mean you might be healthier in 25 years than if yo didn't have the surgery and you allowed yourself to gain an unhealthy amount of weight.
Liposuction, long term results
If the initial results of your surgery are as expected for a healthy young woman, that is good skin retraction and a smooth skin surface, you should enjoy the benefits of the contour change all your life. There will certainly be no changes with aging that you would not see anyway.
Long term problems
Assuming you have no complications and the results are satisfactory to you, there are no known long term negative effects of liposuction. Make sure you continue to monitor your diet and exercise regularly.
After three decades of widespread use, there is no indication that liposuction has any long term negative consequences
After three decades of widespread use there is no indication that liposuction has any long term negative consequences. I have been performing liposuction for 28 years and sometimes see patients I operated on 20 or more years ago. As long as the person maintains his/her weight and continues to exercise, the results can last a lifetime.
Effects from Liposuction
There are complications that can arise with any surgery such as bleeding, infection, scarring, and contour irregularity. Liposuction is a very safe surgery and the complication risk is minimal. These complications typically occur shortly after surgery. As for as long term effects, there are no major long term complications.
Long term post lipo consequences
From the sound of your planned liposuction areas, you should age well if you keep you weight somewhat stable. I occasionally will see patients who have has just one isolated area treated and with weight gain you can see some interesting shapes develop. Good luck
Long Term Risks of Liposuction
There have been no long term effects identified with liposuction, which has been performed around 30 years now.
The risks and potential complications of liposuction are short term and most are related to the risks of any operation: bleeding, scars, wrinkled skin, asymmetry, numbness, bruising, pain, skin discoloration, allergic reactions, DVT (deep vein thrombosis), pulmonary embolism, intra-abdominal penetration, swelling, unrealistic expectations and the need for further surgery. Most liposuction procedures proceed very smoothly, please verify that your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon and the operating suite is nationally accredited.
Good Luck!

Economists are still divided on whether the economy is recovering or slowing. No one can agree. Doesn't mean you are wrong or I am wrong. Apparently you don't like the GDP numbers which are another indicator of what the economy is doing. your problem, not mine. And the housing? It's a bubble, per a few realtor friends of mine.

What? I'm stoked as hell to see areas of the economy turning around finally. Not real fond of food stamp recipients skyrocketing over the last four years however, and the latest jobs report still shows dismal numbers below that which Obama promised if allowed to waste 800 billion. The fed has printed so much devalued money that a dollar is practically worthless now.
The housing boom is great too, until you consider a house worth 200k a decade ago dropped to being worth about 80k and now has only gone back up to about 130k. It's improvement, but it's not where we were, and nothing to be stroking Obama, or getting mad at people who are still unhappy with how we're going about recovering.
Signs of recovery are awesome, and to a degree I think you have a point about people, for political reasons, not wanting to recognize those signs. But for the "sunny skies" folks, who, for equally political reasons, are pretending that everything is incredible thanks to Obama, you're just as much of a frustration.

Office furniture.
Usually for the first two or three months of the year we're really slow and there are numerous shorter weeks due to lack of work.
It doesn't have as much to do with the economy as just being the nature of the industry.
This year however, there has been no let up whatsoever in orders pouring in.

|A really fun ridge scramble! I loved the variation from 3rd class to a 4th class knife-edge to a 5th class step and back to 3rd class, then repeat. Very interesting route. There's lots of exposure, and a fall would be very bad, but the climbing is mostly 4th class with a couple 5th class steps. If you're unsure, gain the knife-edge ridge just before suicide chute and see how that feels. If it's too much, just walk back down the 3rd class slope. If it makes you drool, keep climbing!

Snowbird has proposed to build a roller coaster in Little Cottonwood Canyon, on the lower south face of Mt. Superior:
I strongly oppose Snowbird's plans to build a roller coaster on the lower south face of Mt. Superior, across from and over Little Cottonwood Canyon Road.
Snowbird claims the proposed site is not used by hikers or backcountry skiers. This is not accurate. The area is on the southwest face of Mt. Superior, directly adjacent its summer trailhead/winter access points. This area is one of the most popular and treasured mountaineering, hiking, and backcountry skiing areas in Utah.
Furthermore, Mt. Superior is among the most beautiful and photographed areas in Utah, and the West. In fact, the 1976 Denver Olympic Bid Committee used a photo of Mt. Superior on its official bid packet.
While the proposed roller coaster will not directly inhibit mountaineering, hiking, or skiing, it will significantly diminish these pursuits and will be an embarrassing eyesore in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
Utah residents and tourists visit our canyons to play in the mountains, not on amusement-park rides.
Please contact your member of the Salt Lake County Council to urge them to oppose Snowbird's plans.

I just did this route yesterday for the first time. It's not very good as a rock climb, but it's a great mountain climb, if that makes sense.
I don't particularly feel comfortable soloing usually, but this was an easy and comfortable solo. The crux for me was a 5.4 or 5.5-ish step high on the ridge that was about 10 feet high, though it looked like you could do a 4th class-ish traverse around it to the right.
Approach beta: (This is how I approached it, anyway.) Drive up the canyon 7.1 or 7.2 miles from the neon sign and park in a large dirt pullout on the left (north) side of the road. The ridge is obvious and right above you. Follow an old doubletrack dirt road until it disappears after a hundred feet or so in a flat, open area. Keep going and you'll see a narrow strip of quartzite talus slope coming down from the direction of the ridge (your right) into the flat, open area. Head up the talus slope towards the right-most of two funky gas pipes coming out from the ridge. From the gas pipe, you'll have several options that all go up the ridge. Just go up, picking out the line that suits you (some are easier than others) and before too long the ridge becomes knife edgy. Follow it to the top.
The true summit of the mountain is west of the point where the south ridge meets the summit ridge, and it's obvious.
Descent: Follow the trail on the ridge to the east to Cardiff Pass, then down to Alta and the main canyon road. A 10 or 15 minute walk along the road takes you back to where you parked.
I've got some more pics and beta on my blog here.

|Stellar ridge climb. Did this car to car in 1:56. If you aren't on the ridge proper the whole time you are cheating yourself of some awesome exposure and quality 5th class. The scariest part is the shale descent off the summit. Esch.

|This actually does go at 5.4 if you stay on the ridge and don't skip out on any of the cruxes. It can easily be 4th class if you want it to but it's more fun to not wander too much. Someone fixed a brand new Camalot X4 right at the upper crux. Bummer.

I tried a combination of running shoes and climbing shoes. Bad idea. I would highly recommend approach shoes with potential addition of climbing shoes. I thought the running shoes would pay off on the trail decent but they only made the experience scarier.
@zbishop - The pipes are avalanche control devices used in conjunction with combustible gas. A bit of an eye sore but huge help for safety.
Gorgeous route in the fall. I would expect that to be a roaster in the summer as you are always on a direct southern exposure.

For those without approach shoes (such as myself) - I did this route in trail running shoes and felt comfortable sticking to the knife-edge proper the entire time except for one short section - a short finger crack through a mini-bulge near the top of the exposed portion of the ridge. it looked like 2 moves with slabby feet (I bypassed on climber's L on comparably steep & exposed terrain but with better feet).
All the other 4th/low 5th class terrain on the ridge proper was very juggy and had good feet. No need to haul climbing shoes all the way up there or let the lack of approach shoes keep you from getting on this fun scramble!

The Republic
Hardcover, 315 Pages
Price: $23.91
Prints in 3-5 business days
Presented in the form of a discussion between Socrates and other leading personalities, the book concludes that the aristocratic state is the best form of government. It should be ruled by a philosopher king with a "soul of gold," supported by a ruling caste, made up of soldiers (who have "souls of silver"), whose job in the state is to force on the majority the order established by the rulers. The majority of the people (who have "souls of "bronze") are, in contrast to the first two classes, allowed to own property and produce goods for themselves. "God proclaims as a first principle to the rulers, and above all else, that there is nothing which should so anxiously guard, or of which they are to be such good guardians, as of the purity of the race. They should observe what elements mingle in their offspring; for if the son of a golden or silver parent has an admixture of brass and iron, then nature orders a transposition of ranks."

DALLAS (AP) — For three quarters, the Dallas Mavericks showed they'd finally learned how to handle an injury-depleted team.
Then, they nearly blew it.
Although Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs led the Detroit Pistons from start to finish Tuesday night, the finish got pretty close before Dallas pulled out a 103-101 victory.
"Hey, stuff happens in this league," said Nowitzki, who scored 30 points. "We'll take the wins as we can get them."
Richard Hamilton was a late scratch for Detroit because of an aggravated groin problem. With Rasheed Wallace (calf) and Allen Iverson (back) also out, the Pistons were missing a combined average of 48.5 points per game, and were out of whack from the start.
Dallas made its first six shots, while Detroit missed six of its first seven. The Pistons never even tied the game while falling behind by eight after one quarter and 13 before halftime.
Down 14 going into the fourth quarter, Tayshaun Prince showed that Detroit was going to keep fighting by flying past Dallas center Erick Dampier for a thunderous dunk. With Will Bynum getting on a roll, and the Pistons scooping up rebound after rebound and converting them into points, they wound up scoring on their first nine possessions of the quarter and were within 90-85.
Dampier put Dallas back up by 10 with 2:10 left, but Detroit never went away. In the final 18 seconds, the Pistons got within 98-95, 100-97 and 101-99. They scored again as time expired to make the final score look as close as the last few minutes played out.
"I was very pleased with our effort," Detroit coach Michael Curry said. "We stuck with it, continued to fight and did a lot of good things. ... If we put in the same effort with (Hamilton) tomorrow, we'll be good. If he can go, he will."
Prince scored 28 points and Bynum set a career high with 19. Rodney Stuckey added 17, Arron Afflalo had 16 and Antonio McDyess 10 as the Pistons lost their second straight and fourth in six games to slip back to .500 (33-33).
The victory against a short-handed team was quite a switch for the Mavs. In the last month, they were drubbed by San Antonio when the Spurs were without Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, and lost to Oklahoma City when it was without its top two scorers; the loss to the Thunder prompted Dallas owner Mark Cuban to publicly question his team's effort.
Antoine Wright joked that Dallas took care of its problem against wounded teams, but the problem protecting late leads "still lingers."
"We're still a team in progress," he said. "But we're getting better."
Dallas was outrebounded 43-33 and gave up 27 second-chance points, while scoring only five. Coach Rick Carlisle said that's mostly a sign of effort, but also noted that he's using a lot of smaller lineups.
"Five guys are going to have to get in there and dig it out," he said. "In those situations where we don't have the length in there, we're going to have to do it with grit. Simple as that."
Jason Terry continued to be Nowitzki's scoring wingman, putting up 18. Dampier tied high season high with 16 points and added 13 rebounds.
The Mavs won their eighth straight at home, although this was their lone game in Dallas during a 17-day, seven-game stretch. They were coming off a 2-2 trip West and are headed East for games in Atlanta and Indiana.
Josh Howard won't be part of the trip. This was the sixth straight game the swingman has missed because of a problem with his left ankle, and Carlisle isn't expecting him back before late next week. Howard is getting a cortisone shot and will need arthoscopic surgery at some point, although possibly not until the offseason.
Notes:@ Before the game, Carlisle fondly remembered late Pistons owner William Davidson for his wisdom and sense of humor. Davidson died Friday and was honored Tuesday at a memorial service in Michigan. ... Detroit was 6-2 in the eight previous games Hamilton missed this season. ... The Mavs wore their alternate green jerseys in honor of St. Patrick's Day. ... The announced crowd of 20,427 was the largest of the season and the 309th straight sellout.

blood-powered lamp
This lamp makes you bleed for your light. We often just assume that energy to power our TVs, computers, cell phones, and other electronics will always be readily available. But the earth's resources are scarce – a reality that designer Mike Thompson wants to illustrate (somewhat painfully) with his blood-powered lamp. The single-use lamp forces users to think about where every drop of their energy is coming from–literally.

Despite not asking for donations and placing very few political signs, Covington resident Todd Hilton still managed to secure second place in the State Senate 17 Republican Primary and a spot in the Aug. 10 runoff."I tried to run as a real person, not a politician. I had no consultants, no professional managers, I just ran on my message, passion and background. A lot of people told me I didn't have a chance, because I wasn't running a typical campaign. They said I would be an also-ran," Hilton said. "I'm humbled by the support. I have great friends. I'm really encouraged because of the amount of money spent on race. I had a plan to not ask for donations, and I didn't pursue any donations."
Hilton said the 300 signs in the district carrying his name were placed by only three volunteers. However, he said they carried a powerful message because they were in people's yards, not on public rights-of-way. In addition, he said the videos he posted on You Tube and on his website gave people access to his passionate message.
"I think people are tired of politics as usual. Here I am, I need to stand up and make a difference," he said. "I think the key was that I had a strong message people could identify with. I didn't give political answers."
As technology director for Social Circle City Schools, Hilton ran a campaign focused on improving education by putting an educator into the political process.
Hilton will face Rick Jeffares, a former Henry County Commissioner and owner of J&T Environmental Services, a water quality preservation company. Jeffares was the leading vote getter Tuesday, grabbing 42.7 percent of the vote in the district. While Hilton used a non-traditional approach, Jeffares credited his dedicated team of volunteers for spreading the word.
"We had a bunch of people working hard. We really didn't know how it would turn out, but we worked hard and had 1,000 volunteers knocking on doors. We did everything we thought we needed to do and I guess it showed," Jeffares said. He also thanked Hilton and fellow Republican contender Ester Fleming Jr. for running a clean race.
Jeffares said his focus during the next three weeks will be to continue to spread the word, because the runoff is just as important as the primary.
"The bad thing about the runoff is that it's hard to get people out a second time. We'll try to get some people who missed the vote yesterday and continue doing what we've been doing. We're pretending we're in last place," Jeffares said.
Jeffares was elected to the Henry County Board of Commission in 2008 and resigned that seat to run for State Senate District 17. He said didn't plan to run for state office, but when current Sen. John Douglas (R-Social Circle) decided not to seek reelection, it caught everyone off guard and presented an opportunity. According to his website, Jeffares was previously city manager for Locust Grove, director of water and wastewater treatment for the city of Covington and director of water and water pollution control for the city of McDonough.
In order to help voters prepare for the Aug. 10 runoff, a local conservative advocate group, Patriots Table, is hosting a State Senate 17 forum from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday at the Little Red School House, next to the Covington Y on Newton Drive. Patriots Table Charter Member Ralph Brian said the event will be moderated by local resident Fred Wheeler, and audience members will be able to submit questions via note cards handed out at the forum. For more information visit patriotstable.org.
In the Democratic State Senate 17 Primary, Jim Nichols of Stockbridge defeated Covington resident Nichols Day by gathering 62.8 percent of the vote. Nichols is a UPS truck loader and ran on a platform of improving the state budget. Neither retired resident Day nor Nichols could be reached for comment.
State Representative
District 95
Democratic incumbent Rep. Toney Collins (D-Conyers) was the top vote getter at 43.1 percent, followed by challenger Pam Dickerson, who got 33.4 percent.
Collins said he thought the key to making the runoff was residents voting based on his record, not just promises.
"They know me from the past, know personally how I helped them as a state representative. I also have the advantage of being incumbent, so they see things I've done, compared to people who haven't done anything," Collins said. "Experience is a great teacher. My integrity and my results will bring my lupus and kidney disease bill to forefront."
Among some people, Collins has a reputation for not showing up to events or being present; however, he said while he's not always visible he believes he's accessible.
"I'm not a person that's always visible. I'm not trying to get pictures taken and not just trying to get my face seen. But anytime when someone would call or e-mail or come to office to talk about a bill, I've always been there," he said. He also said the death of his father a short time ago may have led to some missed e-mails and phone calls recently.
Despite making the runoff, Collins said he realizes a lot of his constituents still don't know what he's done during his term.
"I'm letting people know I now have experience in pushing out legislation. I've never been a guy to boast about anything, I'm just a quiet guy trying to help people out," he said.
Dickerson, a former Delta flight attendant, said she and her team tried to hit every neighborhood and send out mailers to spread her message.
"And we're going to continue to work hard. I felt his being the incumbent had something to do with (his finishing first," she said. "I'm glad to be engaged and to return phone calls and be available, something I did not see the opposition do. But this is not about the opposition. It's about the people. I'm looking forward to winning it."

Any Florida Modded Bimmer Owners experienced this with COPS
The guy's are just cruising slowly :bigpimp:,maybe because hey had the passenger door open while drving but why such fuzz five cop cars,one would think they have better work to do then pulling over those guy's.:eeps:
Cops probably pulled them over for driving with the door open as that's a safety issue and then the officer radio his buddies to come and have a look at that horrible looking excuse for an automobile.
Even though it was in a parking lot, the door was open and music blaring while he was driving. I think any cop in any state would do the same. Might he have gotten pulled over anyway b/c of profiling, probably.
when pulling someone over after a certain amount of hours working or at night, it's customary for officers to call in backup to ensure that everything is done properly.
As far as the guy getting "pulled over", he was disturbing the peace (radio can be heard over 200 ft. away) and as well was driving a car with a host of DOT violations such as the bumper now being the wrong height, headlamps pointed wrong, etc.
that's just how they are...SOP make a scene and intimidate
back in '05/'06 my wife and I got pulled over b/c we had a "aftermarket" exhaust on her Supra. I carried the FL law and a copy of the manufactures CARB certification in the glove box. 2 cop cars. After trying to explaint to them it's super quiet and even meets CARB.... cop give me some lecture about he knows cars and he's got a Z28 bla bla... let us go. Just some cops that profiled the supra thinking it was some ricer teens and it was two mid 20's with a copy of the FL law and CARB # in the glove box and he got thrown off by it. But let's face it. Profiling is human nature. That's how evolution happens. If you mod your car to look like a drug dealer rap video ride.. guess what kid. If you put a foldger fart can on your stupid civic, guess what kid... you get profiled. I think profiling works. Same reason I profile the meth'd out white trash driving in a 30yr old ford pickup with a confederate flag and a gun rack. That type of person usually has some comment about my BMW even though I'm just pumping gas and minding my own bussiness. You get what you are. Can't control what color you are, but you can control how you dress, act, talk and what you drive.
I wish the cops would crack down on "UNSAFE" cars. Ie- cars missing tail lights, headlights bad tires etc. I wish FL would adopt annual safety inspections. Would remove a lot of junk off the road. And even a sniff check wouldn't hurt. I see cars in Tampa that burn more oil than gas. When I have family from other states visit, they are amazed at the relics driving around our roads. FL is like Mini-cuba with old cars on the roads. And crack down on these idiots that get on Ebay and get a $75 HID set and put them in a reflector housing!!!! They are idiots!

No tracking info because of free shipping, though I agree it's a bit frustrating... waiting on my jungle block tee.I'll post a fit pic when it gets here.

BluePrint Training
Jorge Perez lay on the gym floor, panting heavily and in a state of disbelief. He had years of athletic-training experience and certifications under his belt, but after one CrossFit workout, he felt like a train had hit him. Impressed by the innovative program and determined to improve as an athlete, Jorge continued on to perform countless CrossFit workouts after leaving the gym that day, eventually earning his certification as a CrossFit level-one trainer.
Jorge Perez now shares the CrossFit training methodology with students of all fitness levels at his own studio—BluePrint CrossFit - Doral. Towering ceilings loom over an expansive floor of free weights, pull-up bars, and resistance bands, where Coach J and his staff of fellow certified coaches lead high-intensity CrossFit and bootcamp workouts. Committed to encouraging healthy lifestyles outside the gym, they conduct free nutritional seminars and share healthy recipes to demonstrate proper eating habits and how to get a restraining order against Twinkies.

Rumours that Efendy chef Somer Sivrioglu is to open a mezze bar in the Big Apple (Short Black, October 30) have proved on the money. Sivrioglu flew over to the US at the end of 2012, and he has found a potential site for the project in Greenwich Village.
''It looks like it is going to happen around November,'' the chef says.
