If it's August, it's time for the Fearless Football Forecast, aka "Smiley's Folly."
This is my annual look at the LSU Tigers' season from my unique perspective as a somewhat casual fan who doesn't actually go to the games but reads about them in the paper and watches them on TV if they're not on past my bedtime.
This year, our student-athletes engaged in their traditional preseason boyish pranks — assault, theft, playing with firecrackers, etc. But hopefully they've now settled down to playing the game. And I foresee a surprisingly good season for the lads in purple and yellow.
For this is the year that Les Miles can get back to his beloved Big Ten football — three yards and a cloud of mud (this IS Louisiana, after all). With Leonard Fournette and Terrence Magee running the ball and a couple of mobile quarterbacks, Brandon Harris and Anthony Jennings, keeping it on the ground more than in the past, the Tigers will have a grind-it-out offense to go with its usual stout defense. It won't always be pretty, but the new look will win some games by wearing down the opponents.
Bye, Badgers
The Bayou Bengals open the season in Houston with a solid win over Wisconsin, a performance that gets the team some national press and a dark horse title in the SEC.
Home sweet home
The Tigers open a four-game home stand with relatively easy victories over Sam Houston State and UL-Monroe, games in which a lot of younger players get to see the field.
An improved Mississippi State team comes to town and gives the Bengals all they can handle and then some. A last-minute field goal pulls the game out for the feisty home team.
LSU gets a breather after the State game, and rocks New Mexico State to go into October with a 5-0 record and high hopes.
Up and down on the road
But its first SEC road game ends in disaster as Auburn thrashes the boys from Baton Rouge and puts them behind in the SEC West chase.
Fortunately, an improved Florida team isn't improved enough to vanquish the Tigers, who return home with a welcome win in Gainesville.
Up and down at home
Kentucky gives it a valiant effort in Baton Rouge, but can't overcome the fired-up LSU team and its rabid, Earth-shaking fans.
Sadly, the next game is the first home loss for the purple gang as Ole Miss wins a squeaker and gives LSU two losses in the competitive SEC West, virtually knocking them out of the SEC championship chase.
The year's best win
The Tigers are down but not out as they prepare for a game that's been penciled in for a year — against the undefeated Alabama Crimson Tide and its coach, the Prince of Darkness. All the experts predict an Alabama win. And all the experts are wrong. LSU upsets the Tide by beating it at its own game, relying on a pounding running game and a stout defense to wind up victorious and send its supporters in sold-out Tiger Stadium home deliriously happy.
Road warriors
The final two games are on the road, and present good opportunities for the Tigers to stumble. But the battle-tested boys from the bayou are on a roll, and take care of Arkansas and Texas A&M to finish the regular season with a stunning 10-2 record.
Win one for Les
The record's not enough to get LSU in the SEC championship game, but it is enough to send the lads to Orlando for the Capital One Bowl, at which they win a close one against a Big Ten team well known to its head coach — the Michigan Wolverines.
Worthy causes
STAR (Sexual Trauma Awareness & Response) and the LSU Women's Center display the Monument Quilt from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Baton Rouge's North Boulevard Town Square.
The quilt is "a collection of thousands of stories from survivors of rape and abuse from around the U.S."

Tony Falterman, of Napoleonville, says reading about divorce lawyers in the Thursday column, "I was reminded about one of my first clients many years ago.
"He came into my office and wanted a divorce from his wife; however, at that time there was a requirement that the party suing for divorce needed 'cause.'
"Upon inquiring of my client's circumstances, I told him he did not have sufficient cause and that I would not be able to file a petition on his behalf.
"He responded by saying, 'I don't know nothing about no "cause," but I got money and I want a deevorce!' "

2—Tom Swift and His QuieTurbine SkyLiner (HB)
Hardcover, 198 Pages
Price: $32.95
Prints in 3-5 business days
In this hardbound edition of the second book in the series, a consortium of airlines industry executives beg Tom Swift and his father to help them out of a spiraling problem. No matter what they try to do to keep airport and aircraft noise down, and no matter how far out of town airports are constructed, people snap up the land around, build housing complexes and the folks who move in begin complaining about the noise. On top of this, fuel prices are out of control. Can Tom do something? Can he find a way to reduce aircraft noise levels far below anything anyone else has been able to accomplish. Is it possible for him to find a way to make jet turbines super fuel efficient? And, can he do this all for not just new jets but for the huge fleets of existing aircraft out there? With so many things to tackle, about the last thing he needs is an industrial spy out to steal both his plans and the publicity, and an unprovoked missile attack as he does a test flight. If he has to give up,... More > what will happen?< Less

The playground, especially among little boys, is a place of cowardice and conformity.
How tragic that one of her last acts as principal will reward someone who epitomizes that cowardice.
The term remains a handy tag we stick on deeds which in our beguilement or cowardice we cannot or will not confront.
In the back of their patrol car, with her hands cuffed behind her, she mocks their cowardice.
Like Obama he faced accusations of dithering and cowardice, particularly from his great rival Theodore Roosevelt.
When men see our cowardice, what can they think but that we must know that we have cause to be afraid?
I am only ashamed of the cowardice that dared not do it in face of all the world.
He laughed aloud, taunted his assailants with cowardice, and continued firing.
"Something has been said about cowardice and sneaking," said Whalley, getting up.
Stood face to face with the Rebels at Elmira, and never evinced the slightest degree of cowardice.
c.1300, from Old French coardise (13c.), from coard, coart (see coward) + noun suffix -ise.
Cowardice, as distinguished from panic, is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination. [Ernest Hemingway, "Men at War," 1942]

Compare the best resume writing services for engineers

Hopefully, you can make good use of this free sample plant manager resume, and we are happy to provide it.
These days, more and more job seekers are competing for jobs in the field of plant managment. HR representatives have to sift through hundreds, even thousands, of resumes per available job. Obviously, the more resumes you have to compete with, the more special your job application has to be.
Try hard to avoid the temptation of reviewing several plant manager resume samples in order to quickly copy/paste the text into your own resume. Lifting content from an existing sample resume may hinder your job search. You have to assume that any sample resume you are able to find in an online search would have to be an extremely popular resume example. As you may or may not know, search engines move plant manager resume examples that get the most traffic to the top of search lists. Logically, if you think it's a good idea to copy from this popular resume example, then so do many of your competitors. Employers are also very familiar with the visual presentations, templates, and content used in popular resume examples.
Just use plant manager resume examples as a good way to judge the set of various resume writers. Sample resumes will show you if the resume writing service you are considering knows their way around the plant managment industry. Do the resume development specialists know what keywords tend to be scanned when screening plant manager resumes? How well did the resume writer sell the client to their career objective? Do they only use boring templates or do they develop more personalized formats? Did they show amazing plant managment cover letter examples? If not, did they demonstrate fantastic cover letter writing for other industries?
If you are a credentialed plant manager, and you want to construct your own resume to compete in this dynamic economy, then try to avoid working from resume examples. If you feel you absolutely have to steal text and formatting details, then do yourself a favor; begin with numerous resume examples and edit the content as needed to make the finished work unique and effective.
The most embarrassing thing you can do is use identical phrases from an online resume sample that most HR officers already see on a daily basis. And improve the format any way you can to ensure that you are presenting a visually stellar resume.
Otherwise, scrutinize plant managment resume examples to determine the quality of resume writing services. If you research a writer service that claims to have outstanding expertise in writing plant managment resumes, then you need to look into their claims.
Examine the web site and see if the service offers industry-specific insight and tips for plant managers. Did the sprinkle in important plant managment keywords? What other resources do they have for plant managment professionals? Are their writer's proficient in cover letter development? Do they use dull cover letter templates? Are their resume writers certified? Were the writers who developed the resume examples credentialed through a respected organization? Do their writers have specialized expertise in offering help to plant managers? Did the writer demonstrate the ability to be as objective and critical of their own writing as plant managment employers? Do the writers ban the use of templates and provide examples that are competitive in the current plant managment job market? If the resume service includes solid data on their web site, as well as exemplary plant manager resume examples, then a phone conversation can answer any other questions you may have.
Notable Keywords: plant manager cover letter examples, CV examples, curricula vitae examples, curriculum vitaes, plant manager CVs.

Janis Lyn Joplin (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970) was an American singer-songwriter. Joplin first rose to prominence in the late 1960s as the lead singer of the psychedelic-acid rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company, and later as a solo artist with her more soulful and bluesy backing groups, The Kozmic Blues Band and The Full Tilt Boogie Band. She was one of the more popular acts at the Monterey Pop Festival and later became one of the major attractions to the Woodstock festival and the Festival Express train tour.
Janis Joplin charted five singles, and other popular songs from her four-year career include "Down On Me", "Bye, Bye Baby", "Coo Coo", "Summertime", "Piece of My Heart", "Turtle Blues", "Ball 'n' Chain", "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)", "Maybe", "To Love Somebody", "Kozmic Blues", "Work Me, Lord", "Move Over", "Cry Baby", "A Woman Left Lonely", "Get It While You Can", "My Baby", "Trust Me", "Mercedes Benz", "One Night Stand", "Raise Your Hand" and her only number one hit, "Me and Bobby McGee".
Joplin was well-known for her performing abilities, and her fans referred to her stage presence as "electric". At the height of her career, she was known as "The Queen of Rock and Roll" as well as "The Queen of Psychedelic Soul", and became known as Pearl amongst her friends. She was also a painter, dancer and music arranger.
Rolling Stone magazine ranked Joplin number 46 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time in 2004,[1] and number 28 on its 2008 list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.[2]

Martin Scorsese Is Directing Chanel's New Commercial
Apparently Karl Lagerfeld's artsy, bizarre little romps in the land of cinema and short videos just won't cut it when it comes to marketing Chanel's new Bleu de Chanel men's fragrance. The company has enlisted the help of Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese for that task. The commercial — we feel like we're cheapening it by calling it that — airs in September, but we're having fun imagining what it will look like now. Because Scorsese is known for gorgeous but rough movies, like "Gangs of New York" and "The Aviator," we can't imagine this Chanel commercial will be standard, pretty fare. [BellaSugar]

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today published a new industry booklet to give food businesses operators an easy to understand overview of some of the upcoming changes to food labelling under the new food information regulations. While the original objectives and components of current labelling legislation still apply, some new requirements are being introduced under Regulation No. (EU) 1169/2011, which will modernise the current system. The FSAI is encouraging all food businesses to familiarise themselves with the new regulatory requirements and download the booklet, which is available on the Authority's website.
The new Regulation applies to food businesses at all stages of the food chain where their activities concern the provision of food information to consumers. The current legislation sets out the requirements for the labelling, advertising and presentation of food, whereas the new legislation refers to food information, rather than food labelling. It will apply from 13th December 2014, with the exception of requirements for mandatory nutrition declaration, which will apply from the 13th December 2016, and specific requirements regarding the designation of minced meat, which will apply from the 1st January 2014.
According to Ms Anne-Marie Boland, Senior Executive: Regulatory Affairs, FSAI the booklet provides an overview of the key changes and implications of the new Regulation and recommends that food businesses familiarise themselves with these changes.
"By updating and bringing together existing rules around the provision of food information, the new Regulation offers significant benefits for food businesses in terms of greater clarity and easier compliance. This new food information regulation extends beyond food labelling. It means information concerning a food and made available to the final consumer by means of a label, other accompanying material, or any other means including modern technology or verbal communications. This will ultimately benefit all stakeholders, including consumers. We've put together this comprehensive overview booklet to assist food businesses better understand how the changes will impact on them and this is available from our website. The FSAI can also be contacted through our advice line (1890 336677) with any queries."
The booklet highlights new elements of the Regulation such as: allergen information; date of minimum durability; nutrition declaration; front of pack labelling and; country of origin labelling.

Guess who loves to shop at Divisoria ?
Me, of course and who else?
The former first lady, Imelda Marcos.
I took this photo sometime 2005 when I spotted her at 168 Mall
And perhaps you!
Well…if you want to shop in Divisoria for your Christmas shopping needs, now is the time before the streets get too crowded with Christmas shoppers. This is Juan Luna St. where I always pass on my way to my favorite shopping place, the 168 Mall. My husband normally just drops me by the Binondo side of Juan Luna and I just walk till I reach Sta. Elena st. Parking can be quite difficult if one is not early enough.
Tabora or Ilaya streets are my other stops if I want to buy ribbons, Christmas wrappers or materials for Christmas decorations. This is always my first stop before proceeding to 168 Mall. For food or baking ingredients, the New Divisoria Mall and Sto. Cristo streets is another stop-over. See I just shop every two years for some supplies so I just replenish them when I am out of stock.
When all the kitchen and craft needs are bought, I can now concentrate on 168 mall. I notice there is a multi-level parking beside 168 mall now. The mall has expanded more than twice it used to be when I first shopped there in 2005-2006 (I can't remember now). This is where I buy some of my Christmas shopping gifts and wholesale clothes.
Not all of you are familiar with Divisoria so I took the liberty of placing a map here as a guide to your shopping needs.

Hitched: The Future Bride Onesie Is Coming For Your Children
Yesterday in Austin, Texas, a city I'm very proud to call home, 250 people gathered on the south steps of the state capitol for a nice round of bigoted back-patting, peppered with lines like this, from state senator Donna Campbell: "They want to redefine marriage between a natural man and natural woman the same way they want to redefine the Constitution."
This, of course, while the Supreme Court was hearing arguments on same-sex marriage.
"Our core values are being attacked on a daily basis," Campbell told the crowd.
I like that line, about "core values" that are "being attacked," because if there's one thing that gives me a little pleasure when thinking about people like Donna Campbell, and others who would deny civil rights to all Americans because something something Jesus, it's the thought that maybe they stay up at night seriously worried that the gays, or whoever Donna Campbell thinks "they" might be, are coming for her values and children, cowering beneath their quilted comforters.
Maybe that thought is funny to me because things like the "Future Bride" baby onesie exist in the world. If anyone is coming for your children, it is hyper-normative heterosexuals who can't even wait for a little girl to get out of goddamned diapers before casting her as a sexual being.
The gays are not coming for your children. Capitalism is coming for your children, and heteronormativity is coming for your children, and consumerism is coming for your children, but the gays are not coming for your children.
There's a lot to unpack in the "Future Bride" onesie. I have all the complaints you might imagine anyone would have about it — it's a creepy, too-early shill for the Wedding Industrial Complex, fusing the identity of bride with a sparkle-princess-buy-buy-buy ethos that only lasts until the glass slipper disappears behind the stretch limousine doors. (Arguably, of course, babies can't read their "Future Bride" onesies, but the people who parent them, babysit them, and teach them can; I know more than a few grown-ass adults who would be really pleased to "play bride" with a baby perfectly capable of internalizing gendered messages.)
But in light of the current debates over same-sex marriage, the thing that stands out to me most about the "Future Bride" Onesie is the way in which it confers a hopeful future of belonging, of citizenship, on to a (probably female) baby.
I never had the "Future Bride" onesie, bless my parents, but I did have a bride dress-up play set. And I understand why little girls want to play bride. I remember, at least, why I wanted to play bride. I wanted to be the star of the show, but in a different way from being a ballerina or a late night talk show host, my main two projected career paths as a 5-year-old.
Playing bride meant playing grown-up in a way that felt different from playing kitchen or teacher, and I sure wasn't particular about who I married. I'm fairly certain I enlisted my neighborhood best friend Jared, my own father, and an unlucky housecat named Tom, to variously fill — I almost said "play," but that word carries connotations of agency — the role of groom.
Because whoever you're marrying, you're still the bride, the lead role. And throughout history, one certain way to become a citizen, for women, was not to have a job or even have a child, but to have a husband. And to a large degree, that's still the case. Ask any single woman with an advanced degree, corporate job or religious ordination, and she'll probably tell you: the thing people keep asking me is but when am I going to get married. Because we don't have a cultural space that allows single women to be full participants in society.
Being married — more than being partnered — is about being seen. By your family, by your friends, by your government, by your culture. Marriage is a validation. Marriage is arrival. Marriage is acknowledgment. Marriage is citizenship.
If you wonder why conservatives get so riled up about gay marriage, remember that the thing that really scares them isn't so much the butt sex and the fisting and the dental dams, but the very real possibility that the "theys" who are ruining society will be harder to oppress and ignore once "they" become "us."
I am all for same-sex marriage. But I understand it as welcoming more people into a conservative institution that exists largely to confer citizenship and social validation on certain groups of people. As a result, I am both for same-sex marriage (and all marriage), because I appreciate the cultural and social benefits of establishing family support networks, and against same-sex marriage (and all marriage) because I don't see any logic in only allowing two people with pants-feelings for each other to legally define their families.
I wrote about this, briefly, in my Hitched column the week after Patrick and I returned from our honeymoon. But now I feel more strongly about it than ever. Welcoming more people into the existing model of coupled family-making is simply welcoming more people into a conservative, deeply patriarchal institution that has long served as a tool of oppression and marginalization.
I'd like to envision a future wherein we not only choose our romantic partners for life, but our friends as our brothers and sisters and our mentors as our aunts and uncles, and bestow upon these groups the same legal and cultural benefits and penalties we bestow upon blood relations.
Think of all the commitment parties we could have.

|M.A. and Ph.D. students in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Colorado who are interested in conducting research in the field of sociolinguistics are invited to join Sling, an informal departmental group dedicated to researching and discussing any and all things sociolinguistic. Unlike the CLASP program, which is interdisciplinary in scope and involves students and faculty from a variety of different departments around campus, Sling caters specifically to students earning degrees in linguistics.
|Activities in the past have included: (1) abstract-writing workshops, in which students and faculty write, review, and prepare abstracts for upcoming conferences in sociolinguistics; (2) brown-bag lunch gatherings to discuss new and interesting sociolinguistic research in the field, especially research by Sling participants; (3) data-workshops, in which students and faculty present collected data for feedback and analysis; (4) discussion meetings with invited lectures or visiting scholars in sociolinguistics; and (5) the collective viewing of a film or documentary relevant to the field of sociolinguistics.
|With faculty permission, Sling participants may obtain access to the sociolinguistics lab in Hellems. The lab currently houses eight computer-equipped student desks, as well as state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment and software to assist in the collection and analysis of language data. Additionally, the lab is home to the University of Colorado's sociolinguistics library.

It might be easier to list the number of Mountain Pointe defensive players who have missed games than those who have not.
With that said the unit has managed to survive for the most part.
There have been some mistakes, some coverages blown and big plays give up but as the season comes to a close there are a bunch of young players coming together.
"We are growing as a defense and we are finding where people better fit and tweaking some things around," Pride defensive coordinator Jeff Decker said. "I t is working better for us."
Decker said getting the right people in the right spots can be a difficult thing and as a coach you have to be willing to adjust.
"As the season progresses you are going to have injuries that you have to work around," he said. "So many things can happen and you have to find the right combinations where they can contribute the most."
The good news is that senior middle linebacker Jordan Leal could possibly be cleared to return from a knee injury for the Week 9 game at Mesa Mountain View and senior linebacker Nick Griffin was expected to see his hand specialist earlier this week with hopes of returning in time for the potseason.

The Wooster Y & Rec swim team will attempt to pull off a rare double for the second straight year.
The Wooster Whales will have the home pool advantage as they try to defend championships in both the Mid-Ohio Swim League and the East Central Swim League this week at Freedlander Pool.
''It will be tough, but we have a few outstanding people and a lot of strong swimmers right behind them,'' Wooster coach Larry Smucker said. ''Twelve people score in each event, so our depth will be the key.
''Everyone will have to swim well.''
The Wooster A-team will swim in the 7-team MOSL Meet Wednesday, while the Wooster B-team goes for a repeat in the 4-team ECSL Saturday.
Last year the Whales nearly doubled Massillon's point total in winning the MOSL, but Smucker believes Western Reserve will offer a stiffer challenge this time.
''I think Western Reserve will give us the biggest run,'' Smucker said. ''The Massillon Aquatics could also be strong.''
The seven teams in the meet will combine to suit up 380 swimmers in age groups ranging from 8-and-under all the way up to 15-18. Wooster has 91 swimmers entered in the meet, 20 more than the next closest squad (Massillon).
Leading Wooster will be zone qualifiers Whitney Hooley (11-12), Jeff Montague (11-12 age group), Tim Montague (10-and-under), Adam Crabtree (13-14), Megan McLaughlin (13-14), Joe Silvestri (15-18).
''Those people are all going to zone and they've all broken records this year,'' Smucker said. ''They've been our most outstanding swimmers.''
Wooster is especially strong in the 10-and-under and 11-12 age groups.
''We have lots of strong people in both of those age groups,'' Smucker said. ''I think that's going to be a key.
''We're going to have to get a lot of people in the finals.''
In last year's MOSL Meet, Wooster won 36 of 66 races paced by triple winners Kelsey Bucher, Jessica Wynn, Ryan Gilson and Silvestri.
The Wooster B-team captured the 4-team ECSL title by a slim margin over Orrville last year.
Smucker said Carrollton could have the inside track when the clubs square off Saturday.
''Carrollton has one outstanding swimmer who I don't know if anyone on our B-team we can beat,'' Smucker said.
Paul Martin led the Wooster B-team with three firsts a year ago.
Orrville, which has made large strides under the direction of young coach Justin DeVanna, will also compete in both league meets.
''We have a lot of outstanding young swimmers,'' said DeVanna, a 1994 Wooster graduate.
''We're excited to be competing in both meets along with Wooster.''

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
When you say it has problems turning over do you mean the starter doesn't turn the engine over or slow? Or does the starter turn the engine over and it doesn't start?
the starter is turning over just fine takes about 15 seconds to start
but seems to get worse and worse
err engine
Does it do this after the vehicle has sat for a while? If you shut it off and start it right back will it still take a long time to start?
cold starts are slow and once the engine is hot it starts a little faster
What your describing then is either the fuel pump leaking down or the injectors leaking down. If after it starts the idle is rough then it is most likely an injector problem. If it idles good after starting then most likely a fuel pump problem. The best way to see if the fuel pressure is leaking down is to attach a fuel gauge start the engine then shut it off and see if the pressure drops
I thought it was fuel pump oh man lol didnt want it to be that
yeah idlel is great
Sorry......but this is what your describing a fuel pump. Check the pressure to make sure, but I think you will find replacing the pump will fix the problem.
thank you wondered why it wasnt throwing DTC's at me, i will try this out
Your welcome.Please click ACCEPT if we are done.Thanks,JB
thank you again

MapR Sandbox for Hadoop
Get started immediately with Hadoop with the base image of the MapR Distribution for Hadoop available across all Linux flavors supporting Docker. You can pick and choose the right Hadoop packages and leverage Docker to run multiple MapR single node instances on the same machine.
This image uses sparse disk of size 20GB for MapRFS. If you are using a devicemapper backend (default on all Redhat and some Ubuntu Machines) for Docker. Please delete your existing files under /var/lib/docker/devicemapper/devicemapper and start docker service with the following arguments. This is necessary since the default rootfs size is limited to 10G (Warning: This will delete your existing images and containers.)
--storage-opt dm.basesize=30G --storage-opt dm.loopdatasize=200G
Please ignore error message regarding udev connection during the container startup.
Is there any way to override the generated cluster id? It would be nice to only have to do the registration process (to enable NFS) once and then if we need to remove and rerun the cluster we could set the same cluster ID and reapply the same license every time we spin up the container.
I was able to start multiple containers using the image. Any idea, how can I make them work as a cluster?
Tried to run this both with boot2docker and on a ubuntu 14.04 virtual machine. Both times I am getting the error message:
Starting MapR Services...
Failed to configure Disks...
I have started the docker daemon with the parameters described below:
vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ ps -ef | grep docker
root 871 1 0 19:47 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/docker -d --storage-driver=devicemapper --storage-opt dm.basesize=30G --storage-opt dm.loopdatasize=256G
Also I have deleted the contents of /var/lib/docker before installation of the image.
Is there anyway of seeing more logs of what is going wrong on startup?
Any ideas what might be wrong?
I managed to start one container with the image, any idea about how to run a multinode cluster with this image ? DO we have to re-run the disksetup ?
After installing CentOS7 did you edit your /etc/sysconfig/docker?.
It should look like this
cat /etc/sysconfig/docker
OPTIONS=--storage-opt dm.basesize=30G --storage-opt dm.loopdatasize=256G --selinux-enabled
I usually run my containers like this
docker run -it --rm maprtech/mapr-sandbox-base:4.0.1
I've installed a minimal CentOS 7 distribution, i.e. am executing everything on a native linux installation, and used the provided docker version
[user@localhost ~]$ docker version
Client version: 1.1.2
Client API version: 1.13
Go version (client): go1.3.3
Git commit (client): d84a070/1.1.2
Server version: 1.1.2
Server API version: 1.13
Go version (server): go1.3.3
Git commit (server): d84a070/1.1.2
Still, no success, that is
$ docker pull maprtech/mapr-sandbox-base
$ docker run maprtech/mapr-sandbox-base
Starting MapR Services...
........................................................................................................................Failed to start CLDB...
Could anyone who actually has used this Dockerfile just write a short ping such that I am able to reproduce the steps?
did anyone were actually able to start this image using boot2docker (instead of using a native client under some flavor of linux)?
As stated in the documentation, I removed the aforementioned directory, unfortunately without much success. I think the problem has something to do with using boot2docker on a vm instead of a native docker client. I'll install some linux in a virtual machine and try it there.
If I have any new information, I'll post them here.
Hi mlesniak,
As mentioned in the Information tab here: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/maprtech/mapr-sandbox-base Have you removed the contents of the /var/lib/docker directory. This is necessary since docker might have already populated its metadata with 10gb root aufs from your initial docker runs. This action will remove all containers and images present so far.
thanks for your comment. Nevertheless, adding EXTRA_ARGS="--storage-opt dm.basesize=30G --storage-opt dm.loopdatasize=200G" in /var/lib/docker/profile did not help:
$ docker run maprtech/mapr-sandbox-base
Starting MapR Services...
Failed to configure Disks...
Using boot2docker ssh I see that the docker service is started with the aforementioned arguments in EXTRA_ARGS.
Any other ideas or hints?
MapR docker images require Device Mapper support, since we need DirectIO to the disks.
With boot2docker, You will need to pass additional arguments to the docker server as described here
Please add to the EXTRA_ARGS="--storage-opt dm.basesize=30G --storage-opt dm.loopdatasize=200G"

Interview: 2011 ASP World Tour Qualifier Julian Wilson
Julian Wilson was destined to make the World Tour. It really wasn't ever a matter of if—it was more a matter of when. After an up and down run on the 2010 WQS, Julian, who bounced back from an injury earlier in the year, went to Hawaii not thinking he was going to qualify, but hoping "to make a few heats." He did much more than that, and put himself right in the qualification mix, and even on top of the rankings for the Triple Crown for a spell. This is Julian Wilson we'd been waiting for. Julian Wilson, Triple Crown threat? Well, he was, and next year, he'll be a World Title threat. Don't underestimate the golden child from the Sunshine Coast, he's going out on tour, and he's promising results.
We caught up with Julian on December 13, fresh off the plane and on vacation at home, kind of.—Chris Cote
TransWorld SURF: So are you on vacation or something right now?
Julian Wilson: [Laughs] Pretty much. I'm actually getting straight into training, but yeah, on a bit of a vacation.
Last time I saw you in Hawaii, you were looking worried. It was right between Sunset and Pipe and you were stressing, trying to do everything possible to get in to Pipe, which you didn't. But you did get some good news right?
Yeah definitely. I guess it all worked out for me in the end. There were seven people in Pipe that could have overtaken me and taken my spot and somehow they all lost out on the first day. It felt like it was pretty meant to be after not getting in to the Pipe contest.
Tell me about that day, watching Pipe, knowing that it was possible for you to qualify. Were you shitting yourself, or just trying not to think about it?
I thought there was a small chance in that first round because all the guys who were looking to qualify were up against wildcards and that was the key thing I was thinking about. I was in California, in and out of a few meetings, but yeah, watching it on my phone and whatever computer I could find. I watched all day up until Tommy Whittaker had his heat against Pat Gudauskas. When Tommy lost I was pretty sure I was in, but I didn't want to celebrate. I had to double and triple check to be sure.
How did you figure it out for sure? It's pretty damn complicated.
My brother and I had done the math before and had everything written down.
So what did you do to make sure?
I emailed Al Hunt and [ASP President] Brodie Carr and they told me I was on for sure.
You always hear about guys scratching and clawing their way on the world tour, but you seemed to do it with relative ease.
I was hell bent on qualifying. Then I was injured and out for four months. After that I knew it was going to be a big mountain to climb, but then I got a win in Sri Lanka, and thought I had a chance. Then I lost at the US Open, barley made a heat in Europe, then the movie came out and there was premieres and parties and stuff and that didn't help my results much [laughs]. I did the Quiksilver Pro and won a heat against Bede, got a third in Canada, and the last three events really made it happen. I just wanted to go to Hawaii and make some heats to have a good seed. I knew I needed to make two finals and get better than a fourth.
Were you surprised that you actually did that?
It was super surprising. I went over there not thinking about qualifying, just thinking about trying to win each event. I wasn't thinking about the points. When I came in from the final at Sunset a few mates said I was in the running. It was a real roller coaster.
No offense, but Julian Wilson isn't the first name most people think of when they think of Triple Crown threats.
Exactly. It was my first year competing over there. I actually feel pretty comfortable on bigger boards cause I grew up longboarding, so bigger shortboards don't really trip me out. I've been going to Hawaii for six years so I know what the waves are like. I was pretty surprised though, I didn't think back-to-back finals in the Triple Crown was ever gonna happen for me.
What's the difference in getting pounded in a jersey as opposed to freesurfing?
In a jersey you just have that adrenaline and the wipeouts aren't as bad. You're hungry in a jersey so the wipeouts don't seem so harsh.
Who were the first three people you called when you knew you qualified?
I was with my brother Bart, so I called home and told my parents and my other brother. Then my best mate, Jimmy.
Was there a big ass party waiting for you?
Not yet, we're having a barbeque, then it's back to training.
You know you have a target on your back when you get on tour. There are a lot of expectations on you, how are you gonna live up to them?
That's pretty much why I waited to come on tour. I feel like now I deserve a spot. I've proven that I can surf [laughs]. I'm not gonna get freaked out surfing against those guys on tour now. I'm feeling comfortable. I've watched a lot of rookie's go on tour and just try to hold on to their spots, but I want to really make a run for it. Owen was a great example of what I'd like to do. It's gonna be really hard though, I've got one of the last spots so every event I'll be up against a top seed.
Trial by fire. Who should win Rookie Of The Year for 2010?
I'd say Owen, as an all around surfer; he's done well at every location. He's such a good competitor. He can adapt to all the different waves. He should be rookie of the year.
Besides you, who are the rookie threats for 2011?
Alejo Muniz will do a good job. He's a solid surfer; he's got all the airs and finners. I'm not sure he'll do well at every event, but there's a lot of locations he'll do well at for sure.
Who's the top dog if Kelly Slater doesn't come back?
Mick is probably going to step up to the plate. He's got the know-how that's for sure. It will be fun to watch for sure. Mick will be hard to beat.
This is the World Tour Julian—are we going to see you getting pissed with fire in your eyes?
Just showing my inner Neco Padaratz? Yeah, there will be moments of passion for sure—I'm a pretty competitive person.
Last question, are you ready for the World Tour?
This is a dream come true, I'm ready to make the most of it.

Jim Prentice was seen as a saviour to Alberta's Progressive Conservatives – a former federal minister and bank executive who could reverse the party's post-Alison Redford freefall.
He won the support of the vast majority of PC MLAs, including one cabinet minister who ended his own leadership campaign to back Mr. Prentice. The race to be premier was shaping up as a coronation. However, months later and with a vote three weeks away, Mr. Prentice's victory is far from secure.
This week, Mr. Prentice admitted his campaign handed out party memberships for free, which is not against the rules but is generally frowned upon. A membership is required to vote in the race. Mr. Prentice's spokesman had disavowed knowledge of the practice even after a secret audio recording from a rival campaign apparently showed three different Prentice volunteers telling a woman they'd waive the $10 fee, before introducing Mr. Prentice himself.
Mr. Prentice was left under fire from his two opponents, Ric McIver and Thomas Lukaszuk, former provincial ministers who have no other MLAs backing their bids. "What I'm seeing is he'll do whatever it takes to win, and that's a pretty hollow victory," Mr. Lukaszuk said. Handing out free memberships "definitely is buying a vote" as the Prentice campaign still has to pay the party for it, he added.
Mr. McIver said handing them out for free "brings down the relative value of our party instead of building it up, and I'm disappointed with that," but he avoided directly attacking Mr. Prentice on the issue.
However, the trio face another unavoidable issue in the race: the political ghost of Ms. Redford. Revelations about the former premier's travel spending and habits have continued to dog the PC party throughout the summer, and party sources say all campaigns are struggling to sell memberships.
"I think the Prentice team is absolutely panicking. Giving away free memberships is one thing. Admitting to giving away free memberships is unheard of. No one's buying them," said one source familiar with the race but unaffiliated with any campaign. "And if no one's buying them, how many people are going to vote?"
The source estimated turnout could be as low as 25,000, compared to the 59,537 votes cast in the first ballot of the 2011 leadership race won by Ms. Redford. A veteran politician backing Mr. Prentice nonetheless estimated he will win on the first ballot. Another source said the "safe money" is still on Mr. Prentice, but "this one's so hard to call."
"The only hope that Thomas or Ric have, of course, is a low turnout," the source said.
Precise membership figures are impossible to nail down as each campaign database remains private – unlike the 2011 race, no master list will be created until after a new leader is chosen. Mr. Lukaszuk played down expectations.
"You're looking at a leadership that is only three months, with only three candidates in the middle of summer," he said. "And let's be honest, at a time when we're dealing with some unpleasantries, to say the least, from the last premier."
Mr. McIver was coy about how sales were going. "We've got a steady stream of them coming in. It's not necessarily easy but I'm not sure it should be easy to become premier," he said in an interview Thursday. He acknowledged the PC brand "has been diminished in some ways" by Ms. Redford. "You celebrate the good and you correct the bad. That's what I've been talking about. That's what I have plans to do. That seems to be resonating with Albertans," he said.
A spokesman said Mr. Prentice was unavailable for an interview. The campaign declined to issue a statement, but the Calgary Herald reported Thursday Mr. Prentice said the campaign would continue to give out free memberships to ensure "as many people taking part in the democratic process as possible."
Calgary pollster Janet Brown said "the recent moves by Prentice appear to be somewhat desperate," but said there's little evidence to say what will happen, and no reliable polling given the secret nature of the party membership lists.
"All indications look like Prentice should get it on the first ballot, but that's just tea leaves," she said.
The first ballot is set for Sept. 6. If no candidate gets a majority, the top two go to a second ballot on Sept. 20.Report Typo/Error

There's no question that Coronary Artery Disease, or heart disease, is a serious condition, and most people are familiar with it. Heart disease causes a buildup of fatty deposits in the coronary arteries, leading to a narrowing of the arteries, reduced blood flow to the heart and eventually, very possibly a heart attack. If you knew your heart wasn't getting enough blood, and a heart attack was likely, you would do something about it, right?
So, what about Peripheral Artery Disease? Much less known than heart disease, it is actually quite similar—it causes a narrowing of arteries leading to a reduced blood flow to your limbs. If left untreated, it can lead to limb damage or even loss, stroke, and often heart disease and subsequent heart attack. Yet while 8 million Americans are living with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), many of us know very little about this common, and dangerous, disease.
Many people with PAD may have very mild symptoms, and not even be aware they have a problem. But according to the Mayo Clinic, some common signs and symptoms include:
If you have any of these symptoms, don't assume they are a natural part of aging. Call your doctor to make an appointment.
Most PAD is treatable with lifestyle changes (quitting smoking is the single most important thing you can do!), diet, and exercise. Sometimes medications or surgery are required, but they can often be avoided if PAD is caught early.
Find out more about this condition before it becomes a serious threat to your health. Talk to your primary care doctor today, as he or she is the best person to assess whether you are at risk for PAD. There are simple, painless exams and tests he or she can do to evaluate you for this condition, and many ways you can improve the health of your veins and arteries—starting right now!

Not but that she was proud of her hair, wearing it in twists, with one ringlet trailing over the left shoulder.
It is her boast that no man, save Carmelo, has ever touched so much as a ringlet of her hair.
But the scissors were at hand, and the ringlet was cut and in his pocket before she was ready with her resistance.
From this he removed a ringlet of black hair, probably a love-lock of Ellen's.
For all that, he was a good-looking enough fellow, with a moustache as long and almost as flexible as a ringlet.
Impatiently Penny brushed a ringlet of golden hair from her eyes.
"Floy," said Paul, holding a ringlet of her dark hair in his hand.
Is our modern usage of "ringlet" found before the time of Milton?
She admitted the truth, with eyes dwelling on him, until a ringlet got displaced.
It was the opinion of people that this ringlet betokened King Olaf the Saint.

Better Regulation in Europe Better Regulation in Europe: Austria 2010
OECD Publishing, Oct 12, 2010 - Political Science - 162 pages
The importance of effective regulation has never been so clear as it is today, in the wake of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. But how exactly can Better Regulation policy improve countries' economic and social welfare prospects, underpin sustained growth and strengthen their resilience? What, in fact, is effective regulation? What should be the shape and direction of Better Regulation policy over the next decade? To respond to these questions, the OECD has launched, in partnership with the European Commission, a major project examining Better Regulation developments in 15 OECD countries in the EU, including Austria. Each report maps and analyses the core issues which together make up effective regulatory management, laying down a framework of what should be driving regulatory policy and reform in the future. Issues examined include:
• Strategy and policies for improving regulatory management.
• Institutional capacities for effective regulation and the broader policy making context.
• Transparency and processes for effective public consultation and communication.
• Processes for the development of new regulations, including impact assessment, and for the
management of the regulatory stock, including administrative burdens.
• Compliance rates, enforcement policy and appeal processes.
• The multilevel dimension: interface between different levels of government and interface between national processes and those of the EU.
The participating countries are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

All earthquake victims should be treated as VIPs
Clayton Cosgrove
Earthquake Commission Spokesperson
13 March 2013
All earthquake victims should be treated as VIPs
Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee has serious questions to answer over why dozens of vulnerable claimants were allowed to fall through the cracks at the same time as EQC was tracking high profile/ VIPs, Labour's Earthquake Commission spokesperson Clayton Cosgrove says.
"Just days after Mr Brownlee admitted he was unaware of at least 85 cases involving vulnerable elderly residents and that he had demanded information from the Commission (an independent Crown entity) on Labour Members of Parliament - which was wrong - we now learn so-called 'high profilers', including journalists, television personalities, sports stars, and presumably others were flagged for reporting purposes.
"Gerry Brownlee needs to explain why the high profile category was created, what information was collected, what the so-called reporting purposes are, who the information was reported to, did this include information on his political opponents, and on whose instructions the Commission acted.
"Every person affected by the earthquakes should be treated as a VIP and priority status should be given to the most vulnerable, like 85-year-old Dot Boyd and the other 85 elderly folk Mr Brownlee and the Commission conveniently forgot about."

text: Washington (ANI): George Clooney is asking people to stop boycotting the Beijing Olympics, insisting any such plans are excessive. Hollywood bigwigs such as Mia Farrow and Richard Gere have already condemned China for its support of the genocide in Dafur and the occupation of Tibet respectively. Director Steven Spielberg also stepped down from his role as the Games artistic director because of Chinas link to Dafur. However Clooney, another staunch Dafur campaigner, insists that boycotting the Olympic games is not the answer, especially where the war-torn region of Sudan is concerned. It seems excessive to boycott the Games because China does business in Darfur. Its always more important to keep a line of communication open, Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

The simple answer to why your car's A/C system is leaking is moisture and age. The rubber seals and hoses in the air conditioning system eventually lose there elasticity and the rubber will breakdown. This allows the Freon in the system to leak out and moisture to get into the air conditioning system. Once the moisture enters the system and mixes with the refrigerant it creates a corrosive acid that will ruin the A/C internal components. These components include the drier, receiver and accumulator which are responsible for getting rid of the moisture in the air conditioning system.
How do you test for an A/C system leak?
There are two ways to test your air conditioning system for a leak. The first way is by using a black light. Most refrigerants come premixed with a U.V. dye that will show up under a black light displaying where the leak is coming from. The second way is to use a device called a sniffer. The sniffer will detect the refrigerants chemical components and point to the leak.
What is the odor coming from my A/C vents?
If your air conditioning is blowing air that smells musty, then it is time to have it checked out. There are usually two reasons for the odd smell. Your cabin filter needs to be replaced or a moldy evaporator case.
