Dear Chris,
Thanks for this answer.
In the BIOS I disabled the 2 HD so that only the floppy and the CD drive are
I also changed the PnP system into set up utility and then rebooted.
I still get the same message....
Kind regards,

Only thing I see from the archives is the pretty typical: "Check the

try that. This has come up a couple times in the archives, but the

How long does feeling good last?
- Question from Cindy: I am Stage IV and am taking Femara. Right now I feel like I could do almost anything. I don't know how long this is going to keep up. I am keeping very busy and commit to things that will last for a few months at a time. Question: Can I plan on feeling this good for some time?
- Answers - Larry Norton, M.D. The answer is nobody can predict how well an individual patient is going to do, or for how long. However, it is certainly one of the possibilities that a drug will work for many years, in fact, and that you will feel fine for many years. I think it's important that you should do what your body is telling you to do in terms of your activity level, and not curtail your activity level just because you have Stage IV disease. Live your life fully, and let the medicines do their work, which is to allow you to live your life fully.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Living With Metastatic Breast Cancer featured Larry Norton, M.D. and moderator Marisa Weiss, M.D. answering your questions about managing day-to-day life with metastatic breast cancer.

#60 Goodbye
The pain of loosing someone can easily come at a young age
This poem originally was published in Poems on Life - Teen Poems
As I walked into the high school,
People were watching us.
But I didn't notice now.
I walked over to you,
I touched your sweet face.
I tried not to cry, but the tears
they were always there.
I tasted the tears of anger and sorrowness,
I tried to tell myself it was all a bad dream -
But then I realized that dreams
aren't supposed to hurt you.
As I leaned over,
I whispered into your ear,
I love you.
Then I put the flowers on the casket,
And I quietly walked out saying,

California Retailers Push Alcopops, Tobacco and Sugary Beverages
Alcohol Justice Renews Call for Alcopop-Free Zones in Every County to Protect Youth
Mar 05, 2014, 21:20 ET from Alcohol Justice
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Alcohol Justice commended the California Department of Public Health today for their valuable new study on the availability of healthy vs. unhealthy products – including alcopops – in retail stores throughout the state. At the same time the nonprofit renewed its call for voluntary Alcopop-Free Zones in every city, county and town to protect youth.
"This survey released today validates that alcopops are widely available along with other harmful products like cigarettes and sugary beverages in most retail stores," said Bruce Lee Livingston, Executive Director/CEO of Alcohol Justice. "Alcopops are especially appealing to youth and shockingly are available in 56% of all stores in the State of California, while low fat or non-fat milk is only available in 37% of all stores."
Alcopops, referred to as "flavored malt beverages" (FMBs) in most state codes, appeal to youth through cheap pricing, high alcohol content, soda-like flavor and marketing, and availability where beer is sold. Alcopops are often the first drink for teenagers, as one-third of teenage girls ages 12 to 18 and one-fifth of teenage boys have tried an alcopops product. The industry markets alcopop products specifically to teens and youth, using the sickly sweet, bubbly "transitional beverages" to hook them on alcohol early, and secure customers for life.
In May of 2013, Alcohol Justice released a report entitled "Alcopops Cheaper than Energy Drinks: 7-Eleven Gambles with Children's Lives" which surveyed all 7-Eleven stores in northern California's Marin County, an area plagued with excessive youth alcohol consumption.
"Alcopops are just too good of a deal for kids to pass up," said Holley Shafer, research analyst at Alcohol Justice and co-author of the report. "We found that the availability of cheap single-serving supersized alcopops like Four Loko at 7-Eleven stores made them even more compelling to youth than comparable non-alcoholic energy drinks."
The Department's first ever study in the nation study looked at 7,000 stores in California to assess availability and marketing of tobacco, alcohol and foods. With regard to alcohol in general, and alcopops specifically, the findings are monumental. Importantly, alcopops availability, alcohol availability and storefront advertising can now be compared at the county level with the availability of tobacco and sugary products and the lack of availability of fresh foods and health alternatives.
Alcohol Justice is calling upon public health oriented groups and individuals in every city, town and county to push for support of the establishment of Alcopop-Free Zones where retailers voluntarily remove the youth-attractive products from their shelves. Youth for Justice, a project of Alcohol Justice, has been leading the innovative Alcopop-Free Zone campaign in the Canal neighborhood of San Rafael, California for the past two years and has succeeded in a marked neighborhood reduction of alcopop sales.
"Every municipality and city needs to rapidly support Alcopop-Free Zone resolutions to ally with community leaders and youth, asking retailers to voluntarily stop selling those products," said Livingston. "The alcopop product line is a pipeline to binge drinking for youth."
In the spring of 2012, the Marin County Board of Supervisors passed the country's first Alcopop-Free Zone Resolution of Support. In early September that year the San Rafael City Council approved an Alcopop-Free Zone Resolution of Support. In November of 2012, the Tiburon Town Council and the Novato City Council unanimously approved Resolutions of Support urging alcohol retailers in those communities to stop selling alcopops. Various retailers in the Marin communities of San Rafael, Stinson Beach and Bolinas have already pulled most alcopops from their store shelves.

LOS ANGELES - Until the New Year rolled around, Sean Miller's defense was pretty much right on schedule.
The Wildcats went undefeated in nonconference play with the stiffest defense Miller had seen yet in his four seasons with the Wildcats: Arizona allowed opponents to score just 59.2 points per game and shoot only 38.9 percent from the field before Pac-12 play began.
While Arizona's three-point percentage defense slipped to 35.1 in nonconference play this season from 28.5 percent overall last season, that was in part because of some early troubles behind the arc that the Wildcats appeared to have fixed.
For the most part, as evidenced best by Nick Johnson's game-saving swat against San Diego State, the Wildcats' D was there when it had to be.
That was also the case over Miller's five seasons at Xavier, where the Muskeeters generally improved each of his five seasons to the point where they posted the country's eighth-best defensive field goal percentage (38.8) in Miller's final season of 2008-09.
"At Arizona, our first team wasn't any good defensively in any way shape or form, but the second year we got better," Miller said. "Even last year, as much as everyone can point to us pulling up short, if you look at our defense, we really improved. And this year we've really improved."
Until lately.
Now Miller has a team that has allowed opponents to shoot 50 percent or better in five of its last 11 halves of basketball, including both halves Wednesday when USC beat Arizona 89-78 by shooting 61.1 percent overall.
Suddenly, the progression has turned to regression.
"We have some guys right now who are in the tank," Miller said. "It is really hard right now, whether it's conceptually, effort, being in the right place, being able to get stops. … It is a real chore for our team right now."
Here are five theories of what's going wrong:
1. There are technical lapses. Miller and all three of the UA players made available for comment Wednesday - Solomon Hill, Kevin Parrom and Grant Jerrett - indicated that the bottom line is that effort and toughness is lacking.
But there are a few specific, simple things that suddenly just aren't working right.
"We just have to run fast, play hard," Miller said. "When a guy shot-fakes, don't jump. When a guy runs full speed off one leg, you gotta draw a charge. You gotta secure rebounds with two hands. Block out."
Miller indicated that his last two rotation players, forward Angelo Chol and guard Gabe York, didn't help themselves in those areas, either.
"We want them," Miller said. "I think Gabe went for a shot-fake and in that role that we're counting on you, there's dependability. Angelo's gotta make layups, catch it with two hands.
"But it's not just them. It was a team loss in every way, shape or form."
2. They aren't tough enough. This one particularly eats away at Miller, who famously once reminded the Wildcats that "nastiness is required" after they beat Texas to reach the 2011 Sweet 16.
"Toughness isn't punching someone," Miller said. "Toughness is being able to perform under game pressure when the chips are really down in late February, early March. (If you can) compete and play hard, that's when you're a tough player, a tough kid."
3. Fatigue may be setting in. Arguably the Wildcats' MVP through the first half of the season for what he did on both sides of the ball, Johnson scored in double figures just once during February. Meanwhile, opponents scored more often against a defense he was leading.
When asked his opinion of Johnson's recent play, Miller said "not good" and pledged to get him to play better. If part of Johnson's issue is physical - he has been heavily relied upon and was ill for the Feb. 2 game at Washington State - Miller has a possible cure for that, too.
"One thing we can do to help his fatigue is not play him as much," said Miller, who played Johnson for just 23 minutes on Wednesday.
4. They're zoned out. Not in a literal sense, though it is worth noting that UA tried to shake things up by throwing out an uncharacteristic zone defense briefly on Wednesday, which Miller said "wasn't the answer."
Instead, the Wildcats may just not be absorbing some things mentally.
Miller noted that UA has now played 28 games, has practiced since October and had the benefit of 14 workdays before and during their summertime Bahamas trip yet "we couldn't rotate on a side ball screen."
As much as he reminds them how to do it, that isn't working, either.
"Some of it is we've won so many games that (players think criticism is) like, 'That's just Coach being Coach.'" Miller said. "That's no longer the case."
5. The seniors can only do so much. It was no coincidence that the three players logging the most minutes Wednesday were UA's three seniors.
Hill, who poured out another box score-filling effort on Wednesday with 21 points, six assists and five steals, said the team's effort was "more than frustrating" because he likely won't have a chance to cut down the nets at McKale Center next week.
"With so many young guys, they don't really understand the effort and how much sacrifice that goes into winning something like" a Pac-12 title, Hill said. "It has to be every play. You can't take a couple of plays off, because that's when a guy can get going."
Miller sympathized.
"It's tough, man, when it gets to March, those guys they know they're not coming down this road again," Miller said. "That's right now why it's such a bad situation with us just because the things that we've done so well have left us, especially on defense.
"We've lost what we once had."

I have an unusual setup and trying to figure it out. I have a working
system on a full Linux system using IPTables.
I am trying to make the config work on a Soekris NET4801. I have most
of it figured out, but hit one block.
I have a small hosting operation here. I have two T1's coming in with a
Class C subnet assigned to it. I have a private IP subnet for the
office and home PC's with a DSL connection for their Internet
bandwidth. I did not want the office/home PC's to use any of the T1
bandwidth, reserving that bandwidth for our paying customers.
I built a machine using IPTables so that the private subnet uses the DSL
for Internet via NAT. While still having direct access to the public IP
servers without going to the Internet. I have a printer on the private
subnet. With IPTables, I was able to forward ports 515 and 9100 to the
printer(HP LJ ip), so I could print config files from the hosting servers.
On the Soekris NET4801, I have the DSL(sis0) and private subnet(sis1)
setup along with access to the hosting subnet(sis2). I have NAT working
between the private subnet and the other two subnets. But I can not
seem to get forwarding of ports 515 and 9100 working from the hosting
subnet(sis2 to sis1).
It would appear that the Soekris does try to forward the packets hitting
it's port 515 and 9100:
Jun 4 19:57:18 <router ip> ipmon[89]: 19:57:18.086181 sis2 @300:1 p
<hosting ip>,49916 -> <HP LJ ip>,515 PR tcp len 20 60 -S K-S IN
Jun 4 19:57:44 <router ip> ipmon[89]: 19:57:43.987645 sis2 @300:1 p
<hosting ip>,50432 -> <HP LJ ip>,515 PR tcp len 20 60 -S K-S IN
Jun 4 20:02:17 <router ip> ipmon[89]: 20:02:17.377468 sis2 @300:1 p
<hosting ip>,50514 -> <HP LJ ip>,515 PR tcp len 20 60 -S K-S IN
Jun 4 20:06:35 <router ip> ipmon[89]: 20:06:35.418212 sis2 @300:1 p
<hosting ip>,44627 -> <HP LJ ip>,515 PR tcp len 20 60 -S K-S IN
Jun 4 20:09:21 <router ip> ipmon[89]: 20:09:20.795669 sis2 @300:1 p
<hosting ip>,49848 -> <HP LJ ip>,515 PR tcp len 20 60 -S K-S IN
But I don't get any response back. At this point I am not 100% certain
where the issue is and how to correct it. Nothing I have tried seems to
work. I have the DSL on SIS0, the private subnet on SIS1 and the
hosting subnet on SIS2. The hosting subnet does not use the DSL, I only
want access to the printer on the private subnet.
It almost seems that the port forwarding from sis2(hosting) to sis1(LAN)
does not work. It appears to work only from the WAN(sis0) port to the
private subnet.
Any suggestions?

I haven't seen them at the stores either... and I'm probably there at least once a week! I think they're exclusively on-line. I've noticed that Target has had more exclusively on-line merchandise lately.

It will be remembered that they were present, with their whole court, at the installation of Leofric.
Say, dearest Leofric, is there indeed no other hope, no other mediation?
Hugh had carried his point, and Leofric's purse now held a few gold pieces as well as his own small store of silver.
Leofric died at Bromley in Staffordshire on the 31st of August 1057.
Leofric had been the pet of the Monastery from his childhood.
But Leofric was in nowise daunted by this aspect of the case.
Hereward, son of Leofric, the last man who defied the right of the Conquerors sword.
Leofric and Jack looked round it, and smiled at one another.
Leofric and Jack scanned them curiously, and eagerly inquired of their companions who they were.
"We will of a surety go," said Leofric, as they pursued their way.

Wife will birth Child in approximately 2 weeks, our first. We're ready. On a totally unrelated note, my beer consumption has gone up "slightly".
If my fridge were a hotel for beer it would be a motel (hotel motel holiday innnnnnnnn) - one of those pay by the hour places with too many mirrors. And not because my fridge is sleazy (click here if your looking for something cheap and sleazy). The beers check in, and then just like that, they check out, and all the rooms are empty and my childhood nightmares as a failed inn-keeper rise to the surface. My eyes get wet and shiny, and Wife strokes my hair while she asks if I need to go to that special hospital for overly self-absorbed idiots to get my prescription filled. That special hospital she is referring to is called Wegman's, a fancy grocery store for yuppies that drive cars that fly and other fancy non-American auto-craft, and the prescription that needs filling is good beer, of which Wegman's offers an alright selection of six packs and bombers. I consider myself an aspiring yuppy, perhaps even nouveau-yuppe, for those of you that speak French or have read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
One beer I have been enjoying lately is Southern Tier's 2XIPA (8.2% ABV). The label says double IPA, but it drinks awfully easy, like a good single IPA. The beer is pretty yellow coming out of the bottle with a hop taste that is more citrus than pine, and a finish that is real easy and clean with a nice malt balance. Not that this beer is anything that blows your mind, hops or flavor, but it is just a solid, balanced, tasty IPA that doesn't destroy your palate, in other words - doesn't make my dinner taste weird. It has been my "one and done" beer after work this past week and it has been a good week.
And now a quick side story on the first time I tried Southern Tier's 2XIPA that I will start at the end and work towards the beginning (because somebody has been watching Christopher Nolan movies):
I was already bit buzzed (white people talk for "drunk at dinner") but wanted to finish the night with something hoppy - a bookend to the wings I started the night with and the mussels I was still enjoying. The tap list at Union Jack's had 3 IPA's, 2 of which I already had (not this particular night), only one of which I really enjoyed, so I went with something new.
This something new turned out to be Southern Tier's 2XIPA. It was exactly what I was looking for. There is no better feeling than satisfaction, with one exception - the absolute best feeling is waking up from a dream starring someone that you haven't seen in way too long - someone that you've almost forgotten just how much you miss them. They visit in a dream and you talk and hang out and it is just like things would be if things had turned right instead of left at those big moments that have gotten to where you are right now. And you wake with a pure smile and a warmth independent of reality, independent of happy or sad that can only exist while you cross that fuzzy bridge between asleep and awake. Later in the day, this dream will make you think some version of "Goddamnit" - happy that you had it, sad that it ended, maybe a little angry at your not sure what.
(Dreams like this and impending births have slowed my beer blog mind to crawl, prompting me to consider starting both "Dream on my shirt…" and "Birth on my shirt…" blogs.)
I had a dream like this a few weeks ago. Oddly enough it occurred almost exactly one month after Martin Luther King Jr. Day. More importantly, I had a beer like this to start the night at Union Jack's: Stone's 09.09.09 Vertical Epic Ale.
The story behind the Stone's Vertical Epic Ale's is worth mentioning. Each year they make a bottled conditioned beer - basically meaning your supposed to put it on a shelf and let it age - with the goal of opening one from each year sometime after December 12th, 2012, and then enjoy them in a vertical tasting comparing them to one another. A pretty cool idea that you can read more about that at the Stone website. The 09.09.09 is a Belgian porter with spices, a style of beer I had never tried before. I've also read it referred to as a Belgian Strong Dark Ale, of which the only other I've drank of that style is the Troeg's Mad Elf, a sweet honey and cherry holiday ale that I really enjoy. I would not compare this to Mad Elf at all other than that they are both beers you must try if given the chance.
The Stone 09.09.09 Vertical Epic (8.6% ABV) was maybe the best beer I've ever had. At first glance it looked and smelled like a Russian Imperial Stout (I'm planning a future post about those types of beers, hopefully very soon). It had hints of chocolate, coffee, maybe even a toffee sweetness or dried fruit. It reminded a lot of some of the stouts and porters I had been drinking this winter in that it seemed to possess all of their good qualities with out any of the negatives. The hop balance was great for the flavor, not overpowering like some of the stouts that try and get hoppy, and the roastiness of the malt just sealed the deal. Absolutely superb. I said some version of "Goddamnit" after every sip. This beer was so good I ordered another, and then another. And I never play three of kind when I'm a place with a crazy selection.
Now for some more bad news - I tried Sam Adam's Latitude 48 IPA at a crowded indoor beer event. It was rather off-putting, the beer and the event. In fact, the Latitude 48 was oddly terrible. I didn't bother finishing my 5 ounce sample. That's right, I poured it out. And I'm not a Sam Adam's hater.
In order to close on a positive note, I will mention Troeg's Nugget Nectar - their current seasonal. It is a hoppy imperial amber ale that is pretty tastey and great with the Spring weather. If you see it on tap, order it and tell them Beer on my shirt sent you.

I had the same experience with Sam Adams' IPA. I usually don't pour out beers, but Jesus.ReplyDelete
@ Cath - Thanks, I got a beer review coming out soon that I think is one you'll like. Real easy tasting for the warm weather drinking.ReplyDelete
@ Double - it may have been the worst "craft beer" I've ever tasted.

|1,000 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|30 nights
Fabulous upstairs duplex apartment, stylishly remodelled and tastefully furnished from top to bottom, located in Valley Village across from the park and just minutes to Universal Studios and into the heart of Hollywood. Trendy Noho shops and eateries are close by. Close to transport and freeways. Minutes to Hollywood Bowl, Griffith Park, LA Zoo, and Metroline to downtown and beyond.
Beautifully landscaped outdoor garden with table, chairs and umbrella, relaxing fountain and barbecue grill.
We spent a very nice stay in this apartment. It was fully equipped and had everything we needed. The area is very quiet and has a nice playground across the street.
It was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed.
It is only a short drive to Universal.
Parking is very easy on the street.
I almost don't want to review this so people don't find out about it... but, we visited LA for a week and wanted some place close to Hollywood and Universal Studios. This location was perfect for us and our two small kiddos (4 and 6). The apartment was spacious enough for the kids to unwind, was very clean, and beds were comfortable. There is a garage, but only big enough for a small or mid size vehicle. We parked on the street with no problems. This property does require going up stairs. Although it was close to the freeway, there is hardly any road or traffic noise. This is far superb to a hotel in our opinion, and the extra cost is offset by not having to eat out 3 times a day. It was close to everything we wanted to see in the area like Universal Studios, Santa Monica Pier, and the Hollywood Hills, but a good distance from Disneyland and Lego Land. Disneyland was an hour away, Lego Land an hour and a half, but driving long distances is normal for us. Once out of LA, it's an easy drive, but the drive wasn't too bad all around. In fact, we drove to Disneyland two days in a row. It was very quiet all week, even with the park across the street. Navigating to different areas was fairly easy with a lot of places to eat within a short driving distance. Just FYI, the downtown LA scene and "famed" theater are not worth the hassle in our opinion… filled with scams, bogged down in traffic, and there's really not a lot to do there. TMZ tours leaves from the area if that's an interest of yours, and there are a few good places to eat close by. We were glad that this area was not high on our to-do list in the first place based on other reviews outside of VRBO. Our next visit will not include this area at all. We do suggest at least a drive through the hills and to the various look out points for some great views. Communication with the owner was great before, during, and after our stay. Already looking to book here again for our next vacation.

Consultation and Evaluations:
The first step in considering training is to have a consultation/evaluation appointment. I come to your home, meet the family and dog(s) and sit down to evaluate the dog and situation and to discuss the options available. We are not a one size fits all program, every dog is unique as is every home. It is also a bit of a two way interview for the family and I to meet each other and get a feel for one another. This is not a hands on training session, but we will offer much verbal advice and I will do a bit of handling of your dog as a part of the evaluation process. I can't evaluate your dog over a phone call inquiry and you can't get a good feeling for who I am that way either.
Our base rate* for a Consultation – Evaluation appt. is $125.00 (for 1.5 hour in person consult) and for us to come to you we work in a circumference from our home-office (maximum of 20 minute drive time). A modest additional rate (for extra drive time) is added to those beyond 20 minute drive distance.
If you decide to train with DogStar within 72 hours of the consultation appointment, DogStar will give you 50% credit for the Consultation fee towards your training costs. This only applies to our Accelerated Program and to Basic and Advanced Obedience when paid in full for 10 and 8 session programs, respectively. This does not apply to the Puppy Education program because there is no separate consultation prior to the first appointment/lesson. For more specifics on the Puppy Education program please go to that page.
It also does not apply to any Behavior Modification training program, (no discounts will be applied to any Behavior Modification
training programs.)
Links to each training page:
- Training Services
Consultation Evaluations
- Puppy Education
- Obedience Basic & Advanced
- Accelerated Program
- Behavior Modification
- Advanced Classes
(Each page will open up in a new window/tab.)
*In many cases (not all) we can do a consultation at a park local to DogStar so for those beyond our base rate area
if they will do the drive time they can save any additional fee above the base rate.

Our Sr cruise on the Summit: Celebrity Summit Cruise Review by Harrisburger with cheese
Overall Member Rating
Our Sr cruise on the Summit
Destination: Canada & New England
Embarkation: Bayonne (Cape Liberty)
Embarcation: Easy and unimpressive. We arrived around 12:30 and were on-board in 45 minutes or so. The biggest hassle was the security lines. They were long but they moved. At the last minute a security guard was going to confiscate one of the 1.5 L wine bottles we were trying to take on board but as soon as it became inconvenient, they let us pass with both. My major comment about Bayonne, most ships have a huge and impressive lobby so that when you first enter the ship, it knocks your socks off, or at least tries. At the Bayonne port you enter the ship on deck 2 which is NOT impressive. And, because of the horde, I missed out on my welcoming drink. We walked up to Deck 5 and had a nice lunch at the crepe bistro.
Ports: OK to good. We were playing our excursions by ear since we were unsure about the weather and our energy levels. I'll go into More more detail in the port section but overall; loved Bar Harbor and Quebec, liked Portland and Halifax.
Ship: This was our 2nd time on the Summit, the 1st being a Bermuda in 2010. The Soliticization had its good points and bad. Good: loved the martinin and wine bars and Bistro on 5. In fact, I liked the wine bar better on the Millenium class because on the Silhouette it's more secluded. Hated the loss of 1/3 of Revelations on deck 11 and the awkward placement of Q-sine on 11.
Debarcation: Sucked. We had so many wheel chairs on board that it took a while to unload. We had to be out of our cabins by 8 and didn't get off the ship until 10:45. Customs was backed up even worse. I heard it was because they had a number of ships in NY that day and the customs people were short staffed, but don't they often have a quite a few ships in NY?
Overall: The passengers were the oldest group I've ever sailed with.
The ship seemed tired. There was at least one section of floor in the buffet in one of those cantilevered sections that felt like it could give way.
The crew were friendly enough with the passengers but I sensed an underlying tone of discontent between some crew members.
Entertainment was typical. The costume designer for the production shows could weather a reduced budget because some of the costumes were over the top a bit. I loved most of the live music onboard although I'm starting to get over acapelled.
Food was good to OK. A few good meals, one was the 1/2 lobster we picked up in Portland but I was very alone in this opinion.
Would I take this cruise again? I don't think I would although I might recommend it to my parents if they were still alive. Less
Published 09/24/13
Cabin review: 7177
Extra 3 foot wide balcony although view below is partially blocked by the canvas awnings for the balconies on deck 6. Very close to aft elevators/stairs. Convenient to the buffet on deck 10.
Port and Shore Excursions
After getting off the tender we walked into town and rented a pair of bikes easy-peasy. Rode over to the town square (three blocks) and caught the FREE shuttle to Acadia. Rode the carriage trails for a couple hours and took the shuttle back to town. Had a great lunch at Side Street Cafe near bike rental. I had the lobster roll (best lobster all trip). Only complaints I have is the weather was overcast and there were some climbing involved in the bike ride. We weren't the only riders who walked up some of those hills.
It was drizzling the morning we pulled in. We waited until the PM to catch a cab ride to the citadel and walked back to the ship circuitously. We stumbled on the Halifax boardwalk on the way back and even though it was overly commercialized, it was a nice walk.
We just walked around town. Should have booked an excursion. Nice enough town, but it was a Monday and it was Portland. Small street vendors, left of the terminal. Nice park with a little train to the right of the terminal.
Montmorency Falls
We took an excursion the 1st day which sucked. They drove us around town and pointed out the sights. First stop was a lookout in Battlefield Park for 20 minutes. Overcast and not a great view with inadequate bathroom facilities. Next stop was the Frontenac which was 20 minutes of rushing around to see what you could since most of the hotel was off limits to non-guests. I did get to sneak into a bathroom at the Frontenac and it was a GREAT bathroom. Last and final stop was Montmorency Falls which again was 20 or 30 minutes. Barely enough time to walk across to the other side of the falls and back. We tried to make it to the giant staircase on the far side of the falls and barely made it back in time.

I was so excited to see this new pencil sharpener that has been popping up on other people's blogs. I decided to check out the website to see what the buzz was about -- especially since it claims to be the quietest sharpener.
Troy at Classroom Friendly Supplies sent me a pencil sharpener to try out and I am completely impressed. First of all, I got the pencil sharpener in two days. Who doesn't love fast shipping?
It took me a while to figure out how to work the pencil sharpener but then I found a great video on Troy's website that explains how to use it.
This sharpener was so easy to use. I love how the front pieces slides in as the pencil sharpens.
And when it's finished, it stops. No more sharpening with the pencil breaking because you don't know it's done. It seemed much faster to me than even using an electric sharpener.
Best of all, this sharpener is super quiet. I don't think you'd even have to stop a lesson while someone is sharpening their pencil.
Go visit Troy at Classroom Friendly Supplies and check out this great sharpener. He really invented it with teachers in mind because he is a teacher himself. I'm so excited to use this with my students next year. I know it will save me some of my sanity that is usually lost with broken pencils and the electric pencil sharpener. Thanks Troy!
Let me know what you think about this sharpener. Do you have one? Why would you like to have one?

ITworld.com –
In the previous two installments of this series, we introduced the rapid-development practice known as Extreme Programming (XP). XP is a development methodology based on several somewhat arbitrary, and limiting, controls:
- Programming tasks are broken down into manageable chunks that can be completed in three weeks.
- A close review of those tasks prior to each triweekly programming iteration defines the functionality that can be achieved. Additional functions considered to be of secondary importance are postponed until the end of the programming cycle or are indefinitely postponed.
- Programmers work in pairs. One writes the code, the other tests the code. This ensures that the result of each iteration is solid and ready for functional testing. Individual software modules are also integrated at the end of each coding iteration.
- An iteration of the software is released for functional testing at the conclusion of each three-week development cycle.
A group of developers from Tektronics that included Ward Cunningham and Kent Beck founded XP. The group found that by continually examining the scope of a project, as well as varying it to restrict coding to arbitrary three-week sessions, they could cause the project's quality, duration, and cost to take care of itself. In other words, they reversed the traditional model of software development, in which scope is defined as a constant while the variables of quality, time, and cost change in order to conform to the scope.
Realizing that the traditional approach often led to missed deadlines, extravagant spending, and various delays, the group experimented with making scope a variable that could be modified to meet a fixed project length and cost. XP is designed to permit continual re-evaluation of project scope. The resulting Website may not include all of the features that were originally desired, but the completed features will work reliably.
Managing expectations
Allowing project scope to vary raises several important issues, including the problem of pricing the services of a third-party developer if you do not initially agree on which features your Website should have. How can you predict your project's outcomes if scope can vary? XP methods certainly call for some "Extreme Project Management" techniques.
Fortunately, nobody will allow scope to continually vary without a good reason, even while engaging in XP. Here are some tips to keep a grip on scope while using this development approach:
- Create a living functional specification. At the project's outset, there will be a normal discovery period during which you and the developer will define your Website's needs and compile a list of desired features and functions. This will basically define what can be done in the three-week programming iterations. Start by prioritizing the desired features and dedicating the first iteration to building the foundation upon which the rest of the site will be constructed. Keep adding details about operation and implementation to the original list of features and functions, largely in response to developer questions (e.g. "What should this dialog box say?" or "How many fields are there in the registration module?").
- Complete mission critical functionality first. Do a serious prioritization of desired features, assuming that some things may never get completed. Decide which five things absolutely have to get done and make it your mission to get them into the three-week coding sessions as quickly as possible.
- Revisit project scope prior to each iteration. This is one of the basic tenets of XP. In a process called "steering," the client and the developer meet prior to the beginning of each iteration and work out what can be done during the next three-week cycle. If these tasks are too ambitious for the time allotted, the client must postpone selected jobs. This system always keeps the client in the loop and allows you to manage everyone's expectations. There are no surprises in Extreme Programming.
- Expect to accomplish less, but achieve higher quality. Rapid development is at an inherent disadvantage because it allows little time to complete a project. By emphasizing the continual re-evaluation of scope to meet fixed deadlines, as well as constantly applying rigorous unit and functional testing, XP can help give you a higher-quality Website than could be achieved under the traditional "don't stop coding until you're done" approach.
Avi Beck, a technical project manager with web developer <kde>, views the management of expectations as XP's primary advantage.
"The coders benefit from not having to develop huge components in a vacuum and by having the priority of tasks laid out by the client on a continual basis," said Beck. "The client benefits by having a new, working model every few weeks as well as being able to reprioritize functionality every few weeks."
In the traditional tug-of-war between client and developer, the client always wants to expand scope and the developer always wants to reduce it. XP can make the two sides more willing partners in the joint evaluation of what can be accomplished within the given time and cost restraints of a Web project.
In the next installment of this series, we'll examine how design and prototyping can be managed effectively in an Extreme Programming environment.

Baseball: Seth Livingstone
Wednesday, October 8, 2 p.m. ET
The League Championship Series have captured the collective attention of baseball fans and another Fall Classic is looming. Will the Red Sox and Cubs finally win that elusive title? Will the Yankees add a 27th championship to their collection? And what about the Marlins? Can they erase all the ill will created after their 1997 title team was dismantled? Seth Livingstone of USA TODAY Sports Weekly is here to answer those questions and more.

Over a barrel. Under the gun. Between a rock and hard place. Back against the wall. In a corner.
There are dozens of clichés that describe where Los Angeles is when it comes to Measure R, the sales tax increase for transportation projects. Sadly, they are all apt.
Like it or not, we desperately need Measure R. For decades we have failed to make a serious investment in transportation, and now Angelenos are paying the price with long, costly commutes, millions of wasted hours, dirty air and an eroding quality of life. We've deferred making a real investment in the local transportation system - freeways and buses, road improvements and traffic signals - for so many years that the dribbles of funding from the state bonds or from federal transportation bills don't even pay for emergencies.
We're not thrilled with a tax during an economic downturn, and we don't think voters will be either. But we're recommending that voters make the tough, unpleasant and counterintuitive decision to support a sales tax hike of one-half of 1percent during tough times.
It's a tough choice for a much-needed expense. There are many things to dislike about Measure R, starting with its long life span of 30 years. As well, sales taxes are inherently regressive, hitting those at the lower end of the economic spectrum the hardest. In this case, however, the lack of good public transportation costs poorer Angelenos a disproportionate amount already. For their benefit, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has thrown in a delay of planned fare increases to sweeten this tax.
A sales tax is also more honest than a parcel or bond that puts the tax burden only on property owners. In this case, two-thirds of the voters must decide that paying an extra 50 cents for every $100 in purchases is worth having a Westside subway, for getting the Valley's Orange Line extension a few years earlier or for the many other projects to be funded by the measure. There's also the upside of creating thousands of jobs to improve L.A.
It's true that much of the money will go to the so-called "subway to the sea" and other Westside projects. That's what got L.A. County Supervisors Michael D. Antonovich and Gloria Molina working against the measure. They aren't complaining about raising taxes on their constituents during tough times; they just want an equal share of the revenues - whether they need it or not. In fact, they're supporting another sales tax in the spring that will give their regions more of the revenue from any sales tax. That's pork-barrel spending at its worst.
It makes better sense to put the transportation money where the problem is, and the Westside corridor - which is one of the major work centers for Southern California - is so bad it radiates traffic horror to every corner of the city almost every day. When crime is up in Pacoima, the LAPD doesn't beef up patrols in Westchester just to be fair. Besides, this money will go a long way toward transportation projects that improve things for everyone in the greater Los Angeles region.
We've reached the point where the leaks in Los Angeles County's transportation system can no longer be ignored. We can't count on the state or the feds to bail us out. We must make the hard choice. Will we let our transportation system deteriorate or will we make the sacrifice and invest in our future?

Evidence supporting the imminent announcement and release of Apple's iPad 3 continues to mount with many retailers reporting iPad 2 supply constraints.
According to 9to5Mac a source "familiar with Apple's product distribution channels" is claiming supply shortages for Apple's iPad 2 extend beyond Apple's own distribution channels. United Kingdom retailer Carphone Warehouse is reporting shortages for five of their six 3G iPad 2 models (all except the 3G 64GB iPad 2). Orange is reporting shortages on half of their 3G iPad 2 models as well according to the source.
9to5Mac claims the lack an iPad 2 Wi-Fi shortage is evidence that Apple plans to keep the Wi-Fi models as the lower-end iPad option while introducing a new Retina Display, and A6 powered iPad 3 model. Dropping the 3G iPad 2 would allow Apple to streamline their production process as well by eliminated the need to produce both CDMA and GSM versions of the iPad 2. With the iPad 3 Apple could use the dual-baseband Qualcomm chips utilized in the iPhone 4S to service both CDMA and GSM networks with one model.
Also, there is always the unlikely possibility that Apple plans on including LTE support in the next iPad. Whatever Apple plans to do, the buzz surrounding the iPad 3 is beginning to peak. An announcement of an announcement (guh) will likely come soon.

The Totally NEW Team Corwin Thread
View Single Post
July 4th, 2013, 14:43
Chances are very good I'm out tomorrow. The Wild Dogs are doing the parade down here and apparently they're holding it later than last year. Probably something to do with 100deg temps at 5pm last year… By the time it's over and I get everyone fed, it will be pretty late.
Feel free to run whatever, though. I'll have the weekend open since the Mrs works, so I can probably catch up if needed. My memory of our status:
Lvl 7's - waiting on Corwin and Leywind, I think we're ready for lvl6 content now. (Klubbir is on track content-wise and holding lvl8, barely into 1st rank)
Lvl 14's - I believe that "group" is ready for Lordsmarch2 and that's it before GH. JM and Aletys might have some lvl11 content remaining that they want to finish, but I don't know their exact situation. (Shadohe has run everything prior to GH and I believe is 3 ranks into lvl14)
Lvl 18/19's - As expected, this group is disintegrating a bit so content completion will be hit-n-miss. We're done with lvl16 content. The lvl17 content to run is Reavers, Harpers, and Harbinger2. After that would be IQ1 (Jeets). (Wouldii has run Harpers and both IQ's, and is 47k XP from cap, my intent was to run RhoGu with this group once Wouldii caps, he's 4th rank of lvl17 IIRC and ready for all the same lvl17 content).
My long term plans, in case anyone is also thinking ahead…
Phuury (lvl24 pale master) will stay up for epic content
RhoGu (lvl17 arty) will probably be my next TR, into an assassin rogue, and will get plenty of exercise working toward capping
Wouldii (lvl19 nun) will probably go into hibernation once he caps
Shadohe (lvl14 monk) will run as needed for Fridays/pickups but not beyond that, at least until that lvl13/14 group catches up
Botdu (lvl8 arcane archer) will probably become my prime solo/pickup runner
Klubbir (lvl7 bard) will stick with her Friday group and only run when they do
Since all 6 of my toons are 2nd lifers, I don't really care about skipping some content or religiously maintaining bravery bonus. That gives me a little more flexibility than some of you 3rd lifers.
Sorry. No pearls of wisdom in this oyster.

I'm about three weeks into the new semester, and even though the new Film and Literature class isn't really off the ground yet, I'm starting to feel really good about the class.
The central focus of the class is systems and the ways in which they work – or not – on both a micro and macro level. The kids will be reading What Dreams May Come by Richard Matheson, A Time to Kill by Grisham, Orwell's Animal Farm, and The Sunflower by Simon Wiesenthal and, as each story gets read, we'll watch films that deal with many of the same big-picture ideas. The kids will be working on reflective essays that get them to think beyond the plots of the stories and into some of the "so what?" questions the films and stories ask us to consider.
Last week, the kids watched Forrest Gump (a couple of them, surprisingly, for the first time). Here's the prompt I gave them:
Consider the interplay between the system and the individual. How do personalities affect the way we perceive the effects of a system on our lives, and in what ways do personalities affect the systems that act upon us? Consider the several characters in the film; how do they deal differently with the same stimuli, and how do their different responses affect the trajectory of their lives, and the lives of others?
How would YOU answer this question?
Tune in later; I'll give you the Shawshank Redemption prompt….

It seems foolhardy to talk about contemporary songwriting when the bestselling singles of 2005 were '(Is this the way to) Amarillo', 'That's My Goal' and 'Axel F'. Such a depressing trio puts the mockers on the idea of pop stars too: where's the star quality in a jog-on-the-spot comedian, an OAP crooner, an idiot boy talent show winner and a creepy cartoon frog? It makes you long for the raging talent of the Spice Girls. When you consider that last year's bestselling album was by James Blunt, the only sensible reaction to our current music scene is to put your head into a bucket of custard.
But wipe the blobby yellow stuff from your eyes, dear reader, because this is a top time for pop songs and particularly for ones with lyrics. The revival of proper-tunes-with-real-words is being led by current media shaggers, Arctic Monkeys. Unless you've seen them play, you might only know the Monkeys' two singles 'Fake Tales of San Francisco' and the No 1 'Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor' - both are great, more than enough to make you pre-order the album - but the full 13-tracker is a treat. Whatever You Say I Am, That's What I'm Not boasts urgent drums, shack-up guitars and shake-down bass all spun out by Alex Turner's vocals, bringing tales from a life of going out, not getting in, of riot vans and minicabs, of night time and the grey morning after. Some of the lines make you laugh out loud: 'What a scummy man/ Given half a chance I bet he'd rob you if he can/ You can see it in his eyes you know he's got a driving ban/ Amongst other offences.' Some of the titles do too - 'Mardy Bum', 'You Probably Couldn't See for the Lights But you Were Looking Straight at Me' - as do the rhymes, for the joy of them: 'a scary un/totalitarian', 'vampires/stand by us'. Print out the whole album and it would read like a rant by John Cooper Clarke (a Monkeys' favourite) or a short story by an Alan Bennett who went out of an evening.
Like all good writing, Turner's words whip up a world in a couple of lines. You see pictures when you hear them, listen in to conversations. And, thank the Lord and shoot the Blunt, several other artists - and not just boys with guitars - are up to the same thing. The Streets, of course: last year Mike Skinner added lyrics to a Bloc Party remix about the time he nicked a microphone from Jo Whiley's studio, thereby solving the age-old problem of lyricists who write about the so-called real world - what do you talk about when you move out of there and into the strange environ that is Pop Life? Sway, an act that, like the Monkeys, body-swerved the record companies and made his fans his own way, is another man who conjures up a moment in just a few sentences: check out 'Little Derek', a cheeky tale of condom troubles. 'Sick 2 Def' by Plan B is even better: his bile and fire are just what's needed when we're meant to feel sorry for celebrities that get just what they ask for.
The best lyricists have the right combination of anger and humour: just ask the masters Morrissey and Jarvis Cocker, both of whom have albums out this year. Yes, even the longer-toothed are sharpening their incisors: new records by Ray Davies and the ever-underrated Belle and Sebastian show the dozy Dohertys out there what can be done if you concentrate for a bit. With Skinner's new LP taking its cue from his Whiley track, it's clear that songwriting is back. So drown the frog: this is shaping up to be a golden year. And Jarvis is apparently thinking of calling his album The Cunts Still Run the World. Can't wait.

2005.04.19 10:23 "libtiff ,is any Unicode version available?", by Kelvin Zhong
Hi all, This problem was first concerned by Dirk.Haun. and today i downloaded the newest verison of libtiff ,which is marked as 3.7.2. and it still doesn't support unicode build. my concern is: although , tiff file format is born without contain "unicode text". all information (string ,text),it contain as a ANSI text. I was thinking some idea as follows : In Unicode version:(probably) text can be transformed to unicode when it was retrieved .(by read) text can be transformed to ANSI when it was saved by client application which is unicode build.(by write) (this implies that all the text to be read or saved in tiff file is ANSI compatible. that is, such as english(Roman/Latin based language )). but text in other language such as CJK,Korea Language,Chinese...will not allowed. Does anyone do some research on this area ? and i since more and more softwares are word-wide oriented, why libtiff still doesn't contain unicode build ? I think it was a such important demand. And in recent days ,i was working on project (unicode build).and i want to use libtiff ...,and find such things. and find someone(Dirk Haun) has already have such advices... but the newest libtiff still doesn't contain Unicode build. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Dirk Haun, I know you have done some research on this area. and would you give me some advices & experience on how you transformed the code. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. thanks all. email:firstname.lastname@example.com

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is set to hit retail shelves tomorrow (November 13). In order to make sure everyone plays nice, Treyarch has released a list of offenses that could get you banned.
According to Now Gamer, most of the stuff that can get you booted from online play is fairly routine. Hacking the game is going to get you in serious trouble, as will glitching or boosting. In short, play the game as the developers intended and you should stay out of trouble.
However, playing Black Op 2 by the rules won't keep you from getting banned if you let the expletives fly when things get tough. In fact, Treyarch says that "any user who is found to use aggressive, offensive, derogatory or racially charged language is subject to penalty."
When creating your in-game Emblem, it's best to err on the side of caution. According to PSX Extreme, crafting something offense, vulgar, or racially insensitive will get you banned.
If you find yourself getting in trouble while playing Black Ops 2 online, then you could wind up getting booted from multiplayer servers for a length of time. How long you're gone depends greatly upon your offense; those who hack the game probably are't going to get banned for the same period of time as someone who accidentally drops the F-bomb one too many times.
This is how Treyarch explains the banning system:
"A minor offense is one in which no quantifiable damage has been done to another user or the game community at large. An extreme offense is one in which a player has caused detriment to other users or has organized large groups of users to commit additional offenses."
The company's "Security & Enforcement Police" can be found on the official website. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will arrive on shelves tomorrow. Are you currently waiting in line to get the next installment of the popular first person shooter?
