If you like nullptr's new PS3 Game List app, this updater adds even more crucial features to its repertoire!
If you're a PS3 backup collector, you probably have games scattered across several different locations. This light-weight Windows app allows you to create a list of all of your titles while checking out trophies too. If you want some more info, you can check out the full developer changelog below!
Hello all!
I wanted to quickly create a list of my backups. I didn't have any app that could do it, so I wrote a simple one and would like to share it. There might be other (more professional) apps, but it's nice to have alternatives.
The application scans for games in a directory and creates a list of games names and their respective IDs.
The list can be saved to a text file. Also games trophies can be browsed if they're available.

Chemicals and fuels
12 Ways to Make Small Businesses Safer
Workplace chemicals and fuels can be classified as dangerous goods, hazardous substances or both.
Incidents involving chemicals and fuels can result in explosions or fire, causing death or serious injury, as well as large scale damage to property and the surrounding environment. Unsafe use can also cause cancer, poisoning, burns, blindness and other serious health problems.
Getting started
Keep an up-to-date list of all the chemicals and fuels at your workplace and a copy of the manufacturer's or importer's material safety data sheets (SDS) for each product. Refer to the SDS for information on how to safely use and store the product, how it can affect your health, first aid measures and any personal protective equipment (PPE) that should be worn.
Store and use chemicals and fuels safely (refer to SDS for guidance) by:
- making sure all chemicals and fuels are clearly labelled
- storing incompatible chemicals and fuels separately
- storing chemicals and fuels away from any potential heat or ignition sources (anything that can cause a spark or a flame such as power points, machines or equipment)
- storing chemicals in a dedicated, well-ventilated storage area
- using spill containment for liquids (for example, bunding, spill trays, catchment drains, pits or portable spill clean-up equipment) to capture spills or leaks
- not storing chemical and fuels in empty food and drink containers
- making sure lids are secured on containers of chemicals and fuels
- displaying placard (signs) outside your workplace if you store certain quantities of dangerous goods
- purchasing smaller quantities and safer chemicals (for example, granular products instead of dusty powders, water-based products instead of solvent based, more dilute chemicals)
- minimising spills and splashes by using safe pouring or decanting techniques
- ensuring spill absorbent material is available to safely clean up spills
- using local exhaust ventilation to extract/capture dust, fumes or vapours away from the operator, when such chemicals are being used
- training supervisors, employees, contractors and first-aiders in procedures for accidental consumption, splashes, spill contamination or other chemical or fuel emergencies
- disposing of any chemical or fuels you don't use anymore (contact your local council, local tip, chemical waste disposal company or EPA Victoria for advice)
- providing PPE such as gloves, face shields, safety glasses or respirators if necessary and making sure PPE is used, cleaned and maintained properly.

Oxy-fuel cylinders
Oxy-fuel gases such as oxygen, acetylene and liquefied petroleum gas are used in varying quantities in many small businesses. If not used, stored or transported correctly they can catch fire or explode, causing death, serious injury or substantial property damage.
Getting started
- During storage, secure (for example, by tying up with a chain or in a cage) oxygen and fuel gas (such as acetylene and LPG) cylinders should be kept apart or separated in an upright position, outside in a well-ventilated area. They should be three metres apart or separated by a thermal barrier/wall such as a brick or masonry wall. They should also be protected from impact by vehicles.
- Store full and empty cylinders separately.
- Ensure cylinders, regulators, hoses, nozzles and guns are regularly inspected, maintained and tested for leaks.
- Ensure a flashback arrester is fitted close to the low-pressure side of the pressure regulator.
- Ensure any tools used to adjust piping fittings containing oxygen are clean and free of oil and grease.
- Keep cylinders away from ignition and heat sources (for example, welding leads, flames, heaters) and materials that could catch fire.
- Display signs where the cylinders are stored and used (for example, 'Danger, no smoking and no ignition sources', 'restricted area, authorised personnel only').
- Train employees to use eye protection, leather gauntlets and work boots when using cylinders.

CytRx Corp. (NASDAQ:CYTR) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2009-06-30.
CYTRX CORP. is engaged in the development and commercialization of pharmaceutical related products and services including human therapeutics focused on high-value critical- care therapies. CytRx Corp. has a market cap of $93.3 million; its shares were traded at around $1 with and P/S ratio of 14.9.
Highlight of Business Operations:In August 2006, we received approximately $24.3 million in proceeds from the privately-funded ALS Charitable Remainder Trust ("ALSCRT") in exchange for the commitment to continue research and development of arimoclomol and other potential treatments for ALS and a one percent royalty in the worldwide sales of arimoclomol. Under the arrangement, we retain the rights to any products or intellectual property funded by the arrangement and the proceeds of the transaction are non-refundable. The ALSCRT has no obligation to provide any further funding to us. We have concluded that due to the research and development components of the transaction that it is properly accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 68, Research and Development Arrangements. Accordingly, we have recorded the value received under the arrangement as deferred service revenue and will recognize service revenue using the proportional performance method of revenue recognition, meaning that service revenue is recognized on a dollar-for-dollar basis for each dollar of expense incurred for the research and development of arimoclomol and other potential ALS treatments. We believe that this method best approximates the efforts expended related to the services provided. We adjust our estimates of expense incurred for this research and development on a quarterly basis. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recognized approximately $1.0 million, $1.7 million, $2.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of service revenue related to this transaction. Any significant change in ALS related research and development expense in any particular quarterly or annual period will result in a change in the recognition of revenue for that period and consequently affect the comparability or revenue from period to period.
At June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6.9 million, short-term investments of $11.0 million and held 6,268,881 shares of restricted common stock of RXi Pharmaceuticals Corporation ("RXi") with a market value of $28.5 million based upon the closing price of the RXi common stock on that date. On July 27, 2009, we raised approximately $18.3 million, net of fees and expenses, in a registered direct offering. Management believes that our current cash on hand, together with our short term investments and shares in RXi, will be sufficient to fund normal operations for the foreseeable future. Our expenditures were estimated prior to our recent financing transaction, and the actual numbers will vary as a result of the impact of the financing on our corporate plans. For example, our estimated expenditures do not yet include estimates for planned clinical development of INNO-206. The estimate is based, in part, upon our currently projected expenditures for the remainder of 2009 and the first six months of 2010 of approximately $9.5 million, which includes approximately $3.1 million for our clinical program for tamibarotene, approximately $0.1 million for our clinical program for INNO-406, approximately $0.1 million for our activities for arimoclomol, approximately $1.2 million for operating our clinical programs, and approximately $5.0 million for other general and administrative expenses. These projected expenditures are also based upon numerous other assumptions and subject to many uncertainties, and actual expenditures may be significantly different from these projections.
We recognized $1.0 million and $2.4 million of revenue for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively, and $1.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2008. These revenues relate to our $24.3 million sale to the ALSCRT of a one percent royalty interest in worldwide sales of arimoclomol in August 2006. All future licensing fees under our current licensing agreements are dependent upon successful development milestones being achieved by the licensor. During 2009, we do not anticipate receiving any significant licensing fees. Pursuant to an amendment signed between us and the beneficiary of the ALSCRT on August 6, 2009, we were released from all restrictions on the use of any proceeds previously paid to us in connection with the arrangement. As a result, we will recognize $6.9 million as service revenue in the third quarter of 2009, which represents the remaining deferred revenue or the previously un-recognized portion of the value received.
Research and development expenses incurred during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 relate to our various development programs. Research and development expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 also included RXi s expenses of approximately $0.6 million for the months of January and February 2008. In the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, our development costs associated with our program for arimoclomol in ALS were $0.4 million, the costs of our program for tamibarotene were $0.2 million, and the cost of operations in our research laboratory were $0.7 million. We also had a small recovery of our iroxanadine development costs of $0.3 million.
As compensation to members of RXi s scientific advisory board and our consultants, and in connection with the acquisition of technology, we and RXi sometimes issue shares of common stock, stock options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. For financial statement purposes, we value these shares of common stock, stock options, and warrants at the fair value of the common stock, stock options or warrants granted, or the services received, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the non-employee option grants are marked to market using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and most of the compensation expense recognized or recovered during the period is adjusted accordingly. This resulted in a recovery of expenses of $0 and approximately $0.2 million respectively, in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008. We recorded $0.2 million and $0.4 million of employee stock option expense both during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
General and administrative expenses include all administrative salaries and general corporate expenses, including legal expenses associated with the prosecution of our intellectual property. Our general and administrative expenses, excluding stock option expense, non-cash expenses and depreciation expense, were $1.5 million and $3.6 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to $2.2 million and $5.8 million during the same periods in 2008. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to 2008, primarily as a result of a reduction of personnel in 2009 compared to 2008. Additionally, there was a reduction in professional fees of approximately $0.3 million in 2009 as compared to the comparable period in 2008.

Scott Verplank, never known for distance off the tee, had no problem with the lengthened course at the FBR Open at Scottsdale, Ariz.
Verplank solved the TPC of Scottsdale's puzzles with an 8-under 63 yesterday to lead the former Phoenix Open by one stroke over late-charging Phil Mickelson.
Mickelson, four days removed from his victory at the Bob Hope, had six of his eight birdies after the turn and carded a 64.
"It was a fun day," Mickelson said. "It didn't look like it was going to be anything special -- it just looked like it was going to be a solid, few-under-par round, and then something kind of clicked there. I don't know what it was."
Verplank breezed through an eight-birdie, mistake-free round on a desert course many thought favored long hitters.
"I found the feel for the greens to make some putts," Verplank said. "The Bob Hope was my first tournament since [November], and I really struggled with my putting. I made a couple of nice ones early today, and I kind of got in a rhythm."
Jonathan Kaye shot 65, with Steve Flesch, Scott McCarron, Rod Pampling, Brenden Pappas, Chris Riley, and Jeff Sluman at 66.
The revamped layout proved tricky for some, notably defending champion Vijay Singh, who was in a cluster at 71 with Tom Lehman and John Daly.
Twenty-five players, including Mike Weir at 6-under after 17 holes, were unable to finish because of darkness.
European -- Thomas Bjorn shot an 8-under 64, giving him a one-stroke lead over Nick Faldo after the first round of the Johnnie Walker Classic in Bangkok. Ian Poulter was at 66, along with Scott Gardiner, Jarrod Moseley, and Edward Loar.
British Open champion Ben Curtis was four shots back at 68. Defending champion Ernie Els was at 70, as was PGA champ Shaun Micheel.
Ian Woosnam is at 72 and Colin Montgomerie at 73.

Thanks BillieR - I used a different programme to make the original for this, which would explain why the colours are a bit different from my usual ones!!Thanks Kirsten - I used a grid of tiny coloured squares in the kaleidoscope... hence the resemblance to the Hama beads :~)Thanks Magda - I'm glad you enjoyed it :~))
That is very delicate. Thanks Mandy.
It's an intrigue, Mandy. Lovely, bright colours - but slightly Aztec-like designs. And like Mariasha, I see those melty beads. Thanks very much for the fun, in the small size. :)))
Loved the colors you used and the variation were very good.
Thanks Edie, I'm delighted you enjoyed the circles.Mariasha, I think you must mean Hama beads... I used to work at a kids club and it was all they wanted to do on some days.... the mess on the floor when they finished took a while to clear... and I used to have to search through big bowls of beads looking for particular colours for them!! I loved it!! I can see exactly why this puzzle would remind you of those beads!!
When my daughter was little, there were these little beads that you made into designs, and then ironed them, and they fused together and made little trivets and things...that's what these reminded me of. Thanks for the fun.
Love your starry circles in beautiful Easter colours. Thanks Mandy

NFL Picks Week 4: NFC North Winners and LosersOctober 2, 2011
Week 4 doesn't have any division games on the schedule.The surprising Detroit Lions and the favorite Green Bay Packers are both 3-0 and sit atop the division.
This is a talented division when you consider the Bears have played the toughest schedule in the NFL up to this point and the last place Vikings have had double digit leads on every team they've played, before blowing each of those leads.
In Week 4, here are the winners and losers from the NFC North?
Chicago Bears will host "Killer" Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers picked up their first victory of the season last week in a wet and muddy affair with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Panthers rushing attack has been terrible so far, that is part of the reason Newton has had to throw so much and has racked up the gaudy stat lines.
This is formula custom made for the Bears defense. A young QB, though he isn't a normal young QB with a one-dimensional offense sounds like the Lovie's defense should be able to force miscues and take advantage.
The Bears win this matchup.
Green Bay hosts the Denver Broncos. This is perhaps the easiest of the games to pick. The Packers offense is clicking on all cylinders, they are tough at home and the Broncos offense has no identity.
That will not serve them well in a hostile environment. The Packers will roll in this one.
The Vikings and the Chiefs are both 0-3 but the Vikings are a better team. The second half collapses are due to teams focusing in on the run after Adrian Peterson has had an effective first half.
The Chiefs don't have an offense potent enough to take advantage of the Vikings, especially not with Matt Cassel at QB.
Also, the Chiefs secondary is severely impacted by the absence of Eric Berry. This may be the first good passing performance of the year for Donovan McNabb. The Vikings will win their first game, Andrew Luck meet the Kansas City Chiefs.
Detroit Lions
This is the ballsiest pick of the week for me. The undefeated Lions going into Big D to take on the Dallas Cowboys. The Lions should have taken care of all the doubters with their un-Lion like come from behind win last week over the Vikings.
Still, this will be a tough game. I give the Lions the edge because of the Cowboys banged up receiving corp and problems running the ball. The Lions rush defense has been one of their few weaknesses this year.
Lions win a statement game equal to the Buffalo Bills upset of the New England Patriots. The Cowboys aren't exactly on New England's level but this is road game and that makes it equal.
So there you have it, no losers from the NFC North today.

Laguna Seca, 8th - 16th of August
After another eventful classic car year 2015 it is time to finalize
last year's reports with the annual race meeting at the famous
desert track in California during the Monterey Car Week that
never made it on our website due to the many following events.
Although the week in August is most famous for the Concours
and the insane auction records of the last years the racing part is
of no less importance. The Pebble Beach Concours this year
featured the races through the forest at the 17-miles Drive which
came to an end when the permanent track in the hills between
Monterey and Salinas was opened in 1957, since then a lot of
important race series mastered the famous corkscrew.
Over the last years the historic races became one of the most
important events for the operating SCRAMP (Sports Car Racing
Association of the Monterey Peninsula), this year the Motorsport
Reunion attracted more than 65.000 visitors during the weekend.
One week after the Pre-Reunion at the same place 15 different
race groups were lined up in the paddock to feature more than
550 cars on the races on Saturday and Sunday following the
practice session the days before. Due to the action packed week
with a lot of activities we were only able to attend the Saturday
races of the A-Groups but fortunately a lot of the cars could be
already seen during the pre-historics.
Many race groups are regulars in Laguna Seca including the
Sports- and GT-Car classes of the different decades, but also the
FIA/IMSA and Trans-Am races. But apart of them there are
always special themes and anniversaries to be celebrated, this
year the 50th anniversary of the Shelby GT350. After ending his
racing career including the sole Le Mans victory of Aston Martin
in 1959 Carroll Shelby started to modify sports cars resulting in
the legendary Shelby Cobra. After competing with the Ferrari 250
GT in the Sports Car Races of the early 1960s Shelby went on to
modify the Ford Mustang, the most famous pony car. In 1965
Shelby introduced the Shelby GT350 that was extensively raced.
This week in 2015 no less than 38 cars were entered in a
Shelby-only race making it a remarkable sight seeing all of the
coming down the corkscrew together, further important early
examples were displayed in the paddocks by the Ford Heritage
Also a special race was dedicated to the Formula 5000 whose
last appearance in Laguna Seca was exactly 40 years ago when
Mario Andretti won this race. Originally intended as a cheaper
American version of the Formula 1 the Formula 5000 featured
engines with a capacity of 5 Litre in Lola, Lotus or McLaren
chassis to name a few. Rarely seen on many race meetings the
owners of these rare races did not miss the chance to come back
to their origin making this one of the biggest race groups, both on
the pre-reunion and the actual Reunion.
Unfortunately the F1 group was not running during the first
weekend, after very small race groups in the previous years they
were just featured during the Saturday races at the end of the
day. As raced in between 1967 and 1984 the 3 litre cars included
a sole Ferrari 312 T2 as well as examples of today´s rivals from
Williams and McLaren but also marques from the past like
Hesketh, Surtees Tyrrell, Wolf or Shadow.
Other cars of particular interest were the fire spitting Mazda IMSA
racers, several Porsche 956/962 and 935 to preview the action a
few weeks later at the Porsche Rennsport Reunion.
We have compiled a massive gallery with more than 600 images
sorted by races and race numbers to give an overview of the
action on the track. Next year's Historic Races will celebrate 100
years of BMW so one could expect a lot of 328, M1 and 3.0 CSL

Defensive end Ryan Kerrigan had a very impressive workout Friday at Purdue's pro day, which wasn't a surprise to anybody who has studied him. He also was consistently impressive during the season, at the Senior Bowl and at the Scouting Combine.
On Friday, he confirmed everything every scout already knew about him. He has natural quickness—and knows how to use it—to complement his rare power after contact. He hasn't shown the ability to drop fluidly as a 3-4 outside linebacker prospect, but former Michigan star LaMarr Woodley didn't display that, either, before the 2007 draft. But Woodley has become an elite player at the position with the Steelers.
Kerrigan's relentlessness and power don't show up during workouts in shorts, but they certainly are evident when the pads are on. During a team drill at the Senior Bowl, he put Wisconsin tackle Gabe Carimi on his butt with a bull rush.
With his ability, size (6-3 7/8, 267) and athletic skills, Kerrigan is an attractive late first-round option. He can flourish as either an end in a 4-3 scheme or as an outside 'backer in a 3-4.

Brooklyn Rider
Hailed as the "future of
chamber music" by Strings magazine, Brooklyn Rider will perform in Stevens
Point next month as part of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point's
Performing Arts Series.
A string quartet, Brooklyn
Rider will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 29, at Sentry
Insurance's Theatre @1800, 1800 Northpoint Drive, Stevens Point. The series is
presented in part by Country Inn and Suites of Stevens Point and Sentry Insurance.
Tickets are $15 for adults,
$12 for senior citizens and $6 for youth. UW-Stevens Point students with ID may
buy tickets in advance for $4.50 or be admitted free the day of the show if
seats remain. Tickets may be purchased through the University Information and
Tickets Office in the Dreyfus University Center, 715-346-4100 or 800-838-3378,
or at http://tickets.uwsp.edu.
Brooklyn Rider's eclectic
performances draw rave reviews from critics of classical, world and rock music.
At home in both clubs and concert halls, the quartet has played venues as
varied as Carnegie's Zankel Hall, the San Francisco Jazz Festival, Le Poisson
Rouge, Lincoln Center, the Library of Congress and Brooklyn's Littlefield.
The group includes Johnny
Gandelsman and Colin Jacobsen on violin, Nicholas Cords on viola and Eric
Jacobsen on cello. All four were among those visiting UW-Stevens Point with
Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble in October 2012. As part of that group,
they have performed around the world, recorded three albums and taken part in
numerous educational residencies and concerts.
As a quartet, Brooklyn Rider
has released seven albums and been featured on National Public Radio, WNYC
radio and NY1 News TV in New York City. Its name was inspired by the array of
cultures and artistic energy found in the members' hometown.

OK, I confess. I have a short attention span and waiting for long threads to load bores me to tears. So I'm starting a new 'chapter' of Plowing, which is partly reprinting an old 1909 John Deere pamphlet and partly about memories of working the soil, the land. Reclaiming our history and heritage as homesteaders. =0)
We came from here...
It is usually a good plan to plow a considerable time before planting, so the soil may store moisture and settle into good seed-bed condition. This practice allows for surface tillage, which destroys weeds and makes plant food available.
It is not wise to depend upon plowing immediately before seeding, because the conditions of the soil and the weather may interfere, delaying planting beyond the time that the seed should be in the ground.
There is a "best time" to plant each crop. The successful farmer will prepare her soil and await that time, for she knows it will never wait on her. It has been the writer's experience that success in growing crops depends more upon doing the right thing at the right time than upon any other controllable factor.
A good rule, but it cannot always be followed, is to plow when the soil is in such a condition that it will drop from the moldboard in a mellow, friable condition. It is usually better to plow when too dry than when too wet. However, a light, mellow soil or a coarse sandy soil may be improved by plowing when wet, because the compacting effect of the moldboard make it less loose and porous.
Clayey, heavy, or sticky soils should never be plowed when wet, if it can be avoided, because the particles are so firmly packed together that drying produces hard clods, which are nearly impervious to plant roots, air and water.
There is one exception to this rule. In the case of late fall or winter plowing the freezing of the wet soil causes it to break up into a mellow, friable condition.
If plowing cannot be done early, cultivating of the unplowed land with a disc harrow will prevent drying out to a marked degree. The mulch thus produced prevents, to some extent, the escape of moisture and favors the absorption of any moisture that may fall. Such a mellow surface is in a favorable condition for making a good connection with the subsoil when the furrow-slice is finally turned.
I remember when I was going to college in Iowa in the '70's that one particularly wet spring when the big tractors couldn't get into the fields, the horse farmers were weeks ahead in their planting, because the soil could bear the teams long before it could take the weight of the huge machines.
I've cetainly found the technique of 'dirt mulching' talked about in the last paragraph useful in my own small garden. =0)
Plowing 2
OK, I confess. I have a short attention span and waiting for long threads to load bores me to tears. So I'm starting a new 'chapter' of Plowing, which is partly reprinting an old 1909 John Deere pamphlet and partly about memories of working the soil, the land. Reclaiming our history and heritage as homesteaders. =0)
Power and beauty ? Bull. us men folk know the dirty truth, its all about CONTROL! Women folk all have it down to a science. :)
When we 'dust mulched ' it was during cultivating. Dad would set the cultivators up to cut real shallow and create a thin layer of dust in the row all for the same purpose as mentioned in your article.
The Hispanics around here are for the most part not Mexican. The few Mexicans we do have usually come from Kansas or Kansas City, born here in the states. They ( the Mexicans) do work hard. The same cannot be said for the others. Someone must have introduced them to welfare or something.
Where do most of your Hispanics hail from?
So tell me, why are boys into cars?
Horses are certainly easier to get along with then men...
Most of the Hispanics here are from Central and South America. It sounds silly but to me but there is a big cultural and ethical divide in the various groups. Written language seems to be a problem too.
Boys and cars = SUPERMAN syndrome, speed speed speed oh I almost forgot insurance payments and car payments. Didn't you know that the bigger debit load the more MANLY a guy is?
I never could get along with horses, now give me an A-- and I'll do just fine. But we were talking about four legged critters weren't we.
That's out of line, Huffy. =0(
You want to be crude, go somewhere else. Not here.
OK, getting this thread back on track, back to plowing and working the soil...
so from the 1909 pamphlet...
Deep plowing should be done with purpose and intelligence, because it is not always the right thing to do.
In dry seasons deep spring plowing, unless great care is taken to pulverize and repack the seed-bed, may result in crop failure, because the loose soil dries out and capillarity is broken, preventing the furrow-slice from securing moisture from the subsoil rapidly enough to sustain the growing crop.
Loosening the soil by deep plowing favors the absorption of moisture, but if rains do not come in time such land will suffer from drought more quickly than though it had been plowed shallow.
Shallow soils should not be plowed deep enough to bring up too much of the subsoil at one time. A soil mayb be gradually deepened, but if too much of the subsoil is brought to the surface at once it will reduce the productiveness for a year or two, til the inert matter is decomposed and mixed with the fertile soil.
It is advisable to vary the depth of plowing, and even to subsoil heavy land, in order to break up the furrow-sole [plowpan], but it is often just as important to plow sandy land the same depth year after year in order to produce a more impervious condition, which will prevent too rapid percolation, leaching and loss of soil moisture.
As a general proposition, plowing should be shallow when it precedes planting only a short time.
Plow deep in the fall.
A long interval between plowing and seeding allows the soil to settle sufficiently, while freezing and thawing mellows the raw, hard subsoil which has been brought to the surface.
The relative depths of plowing may be stated as follows:
Shallow plowing...3 to 4 inches
Medium plowing...5 to 6 inches
Deep plowing...7 to 8 inches
Cases are rare when it is necessary or advisable to plow deeper than eight inches.
This is sure giving me something to think about in terms of restoring my pasture...
I sure hope others are finding this helpful and thought provoking. =0)
If I ever get enough land to plow I'll come back to this in earnest. Til then, I'm just skimming.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for , , ,
Since I was diagnosed with Melanoma five years ago I have donated to the Melanoma Research Foundation in WA, DC or to Fred Hutch, in Seattle, WA.) with a directive for the money to go towards Melanoma research.
I attended the Melanoma Symposium at Fred Hutch in Seattle in May and found the information a bit overwhelming and over my head. However, I did enjoy the last panel of Melanoma survivors who shared their experiences with us.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Receiving very informative e-mails and mailings sharing the latest in research.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Not lead us to believe that Fred Hutch is the only place to receive quality care for Melanoma. I go to Dr. Richard McGee at Puget Sound Cancer Care in Edmonds, WA. and have been very pleased with the care there. Also, I would hightly encourage a "buddy" system where survivors (after receiving some kind of training) could help people who have been newly diagnosed.
Sharon, who we have emailed without a response, posted this under our organization instead of the Melanoma Research Foundation. She states it in her first sentence that she donated to MRF and went to their symposium in Seattle. So we asked this post be moved to the Melanoma Research Foundation listing. We hope that our rating is not further affected by this one 3 star rating. We have 60 or more 5 star ratings!

Even making sexy times the Playboy boss can't make you buds with Queen Pam! Former Hugh Hefner squeeze and sex tape star Kendra Wilkinson recently revealed that Pamela Anderson's majestic rack inspired her to get her own knockers done.
Too bad Pam wouldn't know Kendra from Captain Kangaroo!
In an interview with an Australian radio station this week, Pamela was asked how she felt about Kendra's tribute to her "dream boobs." Let's just say her response wasn't one Kendra would be thrilled about. "Who? I have no idea who you're talking about," a wide-eyed Pam replied.
When Pamela — an ex-Playboy centerfold — found out Kendra was actually the ex-girlfriend of the Playboy tycoon – who Pamela has known for many years – she insisted she still had no idea who she was.

Home Security Keeps Your Kids Safe
Home Security Keeps Your Kids Safe
When you install a home security system, do not just think of the security equipment as a way to safeguard your house from dangers like fire and burglary. Think about how it helps to protect the more precious things, like your children.
Each piece of equipment has a different function, but their overall goal is the help prevent against hazards in your home. Every home, whether it is equipped with a home security system or not, can follow certain safety tips and install equipment, like smoke detectors, which are available at home improvement stores.
Home security equipment and household items every home should have
- Fire extinguishers
- Smoke, carbon monoxide and natural gas detectors
- Flame resistant or flame retardant furniture and bedding
- Security cameras to monitor all entrances of the home. They can also monitor your children or even what your babysitters and nannies are doing when you are away from home. Check out baby monitors with cameras, too, for added surveillance.
- Entryway contact sensors are another way to monitor entrances. They let off a beep any time someone opens or closes the door or window they are attached to. You will know when your kids are coming in or going out to play.
- An overhead garage door contact lets you know when someone has entered your house through your garage. If your children come into the house through the garage, be sure to immediately close the door, so potential intruders cannot gain entry into your house.
- A keychain remote with panic button is a wireless device that is a good thing to teach your children how to use. It can come in handy when you go to answer the door for someone you may not know. Always check and see who it is (through a peephole or window) before letting them in and teach your children about strangers.
In addition to these home security equipment features, the most valuable tool you have is educating your children about the risks and hazards associated with fires, strangers and break-ins.

Four years ago Tony Martin killed a boy. Infuriated by a string of burglaries at his remote Norfolk, England, property, the 58-year-old farmer fired three shotgun blasts at two fleeing intruders who had broken into his home. He killed 16-year-old Fred Barras and wounded 33-year-old Brendan Fearon. Martin was first sentenced to life for murder, which triggered a wave of public sympathy in many quarters for a man who apparently was goaded to a criminal act to protect his home. The murder sentence was then commuted to five years for manslaughter, and last week Martin was released after serving three years...


text: Former Sears lawyers talk about the lessons learned, bonds formed (From left to right) Jim Keane, president and chief executive officer of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago; Matt Revord, senior vice president, general counsel and secretary of Potbelly Sandwich Works; and Pam Schneider, general counsel of Accertify Inc., worked together at Sears in the 1990s. Photo by Callie Lipkin. April 2011 Print friendly page By Amanda Robert In the 1990s, Sears, Roebuck & Co. surged into a new era, opening more stores and increasing product sales. As the Hoffman Estates retail giant reworked its business plans, it also reorganized its legal department — turning it into a place that produced many influential in-house lawyers. Matt Revord, Pam Schneider and Jim Keane serve as prime examples, starting in the new Sears legal department in 1996 and later moving into larger leadership roles in companies across Chicago. Revord serves as the senior vice president, general counsel and secretary of Potbelly Sandwich Works, a restaurant that started in Chicago and now spans more than a dozen states. He recently spent time in Dubai, opening two of the company's first international restaurants. Schneider works as the general counsel of Accertify Inc., an Itasca-based company that gives businesses software, tools and strategies to stop online fraud. Since American Express bought the company in November, she expanded her staff from one to three lawyers. Keane serves as the president and chief executive officer of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, managing 16 clubs that work with more than 10,000 young people. He worked previously as the executive vice president and general counsel of the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago. While these three lawyers fill distinct and diverse roles, they all credit one person with kick-starting their successful in-house careers. They joined more than a dozen other lawyers who long time Latham & Watkins partner Michael Levin recruited to transform the legal department at Sears. Levin had represented Sears as outside counsel for several decades before he became senior vice president, general counsel and secretary of the company in 1996. After learning that the company's business people were not receiving the support they wanted from the legal department, he made a drastic cut to the staff and replaced the lawyers who left with newer law-firm lawyers. He created a stronger legal department that handled not only dynamic issues for the growing company, but also the scandal that erupted over its credit card practices in 1997. His controversial reorganization plan, coupled with accusations that the company violated the rights of credit card holders, landed him a leading role in Newsweek 's "The Sorry Side of Sears" and other national news coverage. Despite the negative attention, Levin united the lawyers in the Sears legal department, calling on them to help resolve the crisis for the company. This legion of lawyers grew under his guidance and later moved on to prominent companies throughout the Midwest. Many of them remain connected today by the time they spent with Levin and with Sears. "The overall plan of action was to get some good leaders in for each of the substantive business areas and let them revitalize the thinking and energize it and build ties with the businesses," Levin said. "If I had the right people, I didn't have to do much. That's the way it worked out." According to plan Levin represented Sears for nearly 30 years before he moved in-house with the company. When he started as in-house counsel, he said, the legal department was continually impeding the business. "The staff spent most of their time trying to avoid the law department," he said. "I knew that was the wrong answer, because good lawyers can actually help a lot." Robert Guttman, the senior vice president, general counsel and secretary of Ulta Salon Cosmetics & Fragrance Inc., started in the Sears law department 10 years earlier. He called it a "sleepy department," where people didn't care much about performance. "What Mike did — there's a story," he said. "He got the whole department together. "He said, 'I talked to all of the officers in the company and here's what I learned about the law department. You, A, don't work very hard, and B, your advice isn't very good. You're risk-averse. I'm going to change all that.'" At the time, the Sears legal department employed nearly 40 lawyers. In his first year, Levin asked one-third of those lawyers to leave and replaced them with his new recruits. "You'll find in many large corporations, and many of the people at Sears, were sort of protecting their jobs," Levin said. "They were living out their time until they got to retirement. "I was looking for people who wanted to plunge in and really work on problems. It was a time in the economy when there were a fair number of people like that, and I was fortunate to find a bunch of them." Revord, who started his career at Kirkland & Ellis, received a call from Levin while working in-house at Oak Park-based Waste Management Inc. "He said, 'I am hiring a bunch of guys like you. A bunch of big law firm guys who work hard, who are aggressive and who will help me transform the Sears legal department,'" Revord said. "That's what he did. He hired Kirkland guys. He hired Skadden guys. He hired Latham guys." Steve Cook, vice president, general counsel and secretary of PulteGroup Inc., a national home-building company in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., moved in-house with Sears from Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom. He spent his first day as assistant general counsel flying to Los Angeles to negotiate the acquisition of Orchard Supply Hardware. "Mike is the kind of guy who, once he knows that you know what you're doing, and he can trust you, he gives you a tremendous amount of respect," Cook said. "Because I was an M&A lawyer at Skadden, and I came in to do M&A work, I was able to prove right away that I had a lot of experience in what I was doing." While Sears supported Levin's plan to bring in new recruits, the lawyers who remained from before his tenure likely saw the changes as "very demoralizing and quite controversial," Levin said. "I'm sure I was for many of the people more blunt and rougher than they were accustomed to, but I thought we had a huge hill to climb and we didn't have a lot of time to waste," Levin said. "When I'm working to solve a problem, I'm very focused and relentless. It's the way I went after stuff there. I would challenge people." Guttman agreed that it became tense in the legal department and that his colleagues had trouble digesting so many changes in such a short period of time. He considered himself lucky to get the chance to stay, even though Levin let him know he needed to improve, he said. "It was a career-changing event for me," Guttman said. "He made me think about things in a totally different way. He would not tolerate mediocre lawyering under any circumstances, whether it was internal or external counsel, and he would not tolerate bad advice." Finding room to grow Levin placed new leaders in the legal department and encouraged them to help the younger lawyers build ties with the businesses within Sears. He dispersed authority and avoided a "centralized command-and-control type of environment," he said. "If you're a young person, it gives you a very heady feeling and I think that was a powerful motivator," he said. "That sort of thing is a good thing to do for people if they can handle the responsibility." Kathleen McJohn, the vice president, general counsel and secretary of WMS Industries Inc., a slot machine and video lottery terminal manufacturer in Waukegan, worked with Levin at Latham & Watkins before she left to become a staff attorney at Amoco Oil Co. When Levin joined Sears, he asked McJohn to start as assistant general counsel. McJohn said while some legal departments become an ivory tower that never connects to the business, she saw Levin work to align the departments. He found new ways for lawyers to support Sears and anticipate potential problems, she said. "Instead of leaving the business people to wonder, 'Who I do call or should I call?' he assigned a handful of lawyers to go out and educate the business on where legal could be helpful to them," she said. "It's amazing how quickly people started beating a path." When Levin asked Keane to leave then-Schiff Hardin & Waite for Sears, Keane feared that moving in-house would mean giving up the aspect of law firm life where lawyers challenge each other, he said. But when he heard that Levin recruited leaders like Cook and McJohn, he knew that wouldn't be the case, he said. "Mike really organized the law department a lot like a law firm," Keane said. "It would be more business-centric by having a lawyer actually assigned to the business who could also be a point of contact with the law department." Levin approached the legal department with an idea for a new general counsel training program, telling them he would assign each of the businesses with a staff lawyer who would handle their legal matters for a full year. Keane started his new special counsel position without knowing anything about credit law, and what was supposed to be a one-year assignment turned into a three-year assignment due to turmoil in the business. Since Sears engaged in looser lending in its earlier years, Keane integrated with business leaders like Alan Lacy, who later became the company's chief executive officer, to create a more profitable credit business. "Many of the director-level people had MBAs and they all thought in spreadsheets," he said. "I knew kind of how to use a spreadsheet, but I really dug in and became fluent in it. "If they were doing a deal, or doing this project or that project, I really wanted to know what they were working on. I wanted to know how they did the math." Dave Merritt, the general counsel and secretary of CCC Information Services, a Chicago company that provides software, tools and technology to the automotive claims and collision repair industries, met Levin when he started at Latham & Watkins in 1989. He rejoined Levin at Sears when the general counsel recruited him from Cherry & Flynn to become senior counsel in complex litigation. Merritt also participated in the new general counsel training program, becoming special counsel for the home services division. Rather than just defending incoming lawsuits, he focused on spotting and addressing legal issues for that business, he said. "The thing that Mike provided me was exposure to other senior managers in the company," Merritt said. "I was a little more junior than some of these other folks, but that really gives you a sense that you're not just a cog in this huge law department." Learning lessons The Sears lawyers remember several of the lessons they learned from Levin, who many characterize as a demanding, but fair lawyer. Schneider met Levin when she came to Latham & Watkins and handled her first transaction for Sears in 1984. She was general counsel of JMC Group Inc. in San Diego when Levin asked her to join him at Sears as vice president of the home services business. She called Levin a loyal mentor who set high standards and gave hard-working lawyers opportunities to learn and grow. At the same time, she admitted that some lawyers objected to his tough exterior and hard-line approach. "I would work for Mike tomorrow, but Mike is not for everybody," Schneider said. "I think that was part of his challenge. He does better with a small group, and not as much being a dynamic leader of hundreds of people. Hundreds of people aren't going to feel warm and fuzzy around Mike." If Levin's lawyers couldn't answer a question, he expected them to admit that they couldn't answer and then work to find that answer, McJohn said. He also expected them to give business people advice that they could actually use. "If your business has a short question, they want a direct answer and not a five-page memo," she said. "They're looking for advice — 'May I, yes or no? If it's yes, are there any caveats? If it's no, is there anything I can do differently and still get to what I want to do?'" Levin trained young lawyers the same way in private practice, McJohn said. He encouraged them to think through issues, and once he grew comfortable with their skills, he gave them room to stand on their own two feet, she said. Matt Myren, senior vice president, general counsel and secretary of Enesco, an Itasca-based company that distributes giftware and home and garden décor, was working at Skadden when Cook, his mentor, announced his move to Sears and asked him to come along. He immediately joined Cook in the acquisition of Orchard Supply Hardware and a number of other supply companies. While Myren helped move Sears into a new market, he learned from Levin the importance of attention to detail. "If you mess up on the little things, people won't trust you on the big things," he said. "He valued being a law department that didn't just say no, but that looked for creative ways to do things and say yes." Keane recalled that Levin once found a mistake in one of the director's biographies in one of his proxy statements. The general counsel used his "famous" green pen to write "this is terrible" across the document. "We sat down together, we went over it, and I said, 'You're right, this is terrible, I'll fix it,'" Keane said. "It didn't take any time and there was no emotion. "That's the way Mike was and that's the way people around him were. They were willing to face the facts that if you get a director's bio wrong, that's terrible. Nobody had thin skin." Levin and other senior lawyers also organized monthly review meetings where they went over every complex litigation case with staff attorneys. "One of the things I remember him saying that has stuck with me was that if something doesn't seem to make sense to you, then it's probably not right," Merritt said. "Even though we might be working in an area outside of our expertise, use your legal judgment and trust your gut." Levin taught Cook that while private practice lawyers serve many clients, in-house lawyers serve their corporation. He also taught him that the principle became even more important as people injected their own agendas into the business. "Mike was very clear that our service was to Sears as the corporation," Cook said. "We were a model for the rest of the organization." Levin taught the law department one of its greatest lessons after a Boston bankruptcy judge accused Sears of illegally collecting debts from bankrupt credit card holders in 1997. The people responsible preceded Levin's arrival by 20 years, he said. Since they had already left the company, he faced a tough task in finding resources to handle the problem. He recruited a task force of bankruptcy counsel from several law firms and brought in other advisers to handle the major criminal action and complaints from 50 states' attorneys general. For several months, he initiated a daily afternoon conference call to keep the players in touch. "While lots is known about corporate bankruptcy, very little is known about personal bankruptcy," Levin said. "People didn't go into that if they had opportunities to do something else. "It all had to be invented from scratch … It took a lot of my time. It was fairly far along, but by that time, the high-quality hiring had occurred and there were people who could step in and work these issues." He counted on his lawyers, who spent several months manually reviewing hundreds of court records that stretched back decades. Whether they worked on transactions or litigation, they came together to alleviate widespread damage to the company. "It became a very big deal for the entire law department and for Mike Levin," Revord said. "It was a very negative event, but it certainly served as a crucible to unify the law department. There was an enormous amount of work to do and we had to get to it." Common bonds For many of the lawyers, one of the best parts of working at Sears was building relationships with their colleagues. Cook recalled one late night that he worked on several deals with Myren and Keane and realized things "jelled so good" between them. "I remember thinking to myself, 'It doesn't get any better than this,'" he said. "'There is not going to be another set of working relationships that can equal this.'" Keane agreed that the lawyers viewed their partnership at Sears as "something special and not as a total coincidence." They came in with high standards and recognized those standards in each other. "Sears was where I really was able to practice the ideal job," Keane said. "That is where you have a round table, and around that table, you have people with different skill sets and different training, but you all have a single objective. You are not in silos, you are working together." The lawyers also found ways to interact on a social level, running together on trails near Sears and combining their musical talents to perform for their co-workers. "If someone left the company, there was this group that would write songs and perform for their going-away parties," Myren said. "Jim Keane is a very talented guitar player and Revord sings high harmony … Cook can't sing, but he provided us with air cover because he was more senior than the rest of us. "It was a fun group of people. We managed to get the work done and still have a good time." That group still plays poker together four or five times a year. Even though Cook lives in Michigan, he counts these former colleagues among his closest friends. "I think that's one of Mike's legacies," Cook said. "He attracted some very, very talented, smart lawyers and those people that he hired were able to also attract very talented, smart lawyers." In 1998, Levin left Sears after a large acquisition that he hoped to close in coordination with the "Softer Side of Sears" campaign never occurred. He returned to Latham & Watkins, where he practiced until he retired in 2007. "They had a very powerful television advertising campaign that got people really excited about the company and the business," Levin said. "But, unfortunately, they couldn't get the goods in the stores and it sort of faded." Guttman left Sears and became general counsel at CCC Information Services in 2000. He recruited Merritt to handle litigation and when he became general counsel of The Reynolds and Reynolds Co. in Dayton, Ohio, Merritt took his spot as general counsel. Guttman continued to call on Levin, who became his chief corporate and securities counsel at both companies. "Working with Mike, both as a general counsel and department head that I reported to, and also working with him when I went on to be general counsel, was really one of the highlights so far of my career," he said. Merritt still calls on Levin's expertise when he works to balance the legal and business interests of his company. He also remembers the importance of hiring quality attorneys and letting them do their jobs, he said. "When I was at Sears, I always felt that while I had the support of Mike and the other senior lawyers when I needed it, I didn't feel like I was being micromanaged," he said. "That's the way I try to work with the three staff attorneys who report to me." Cook, who later became general counsel of Sears, immediately recognized the benefits of lessons he learned after starting as general counsel of PulteGroup in 2006. He used his experience in dealing with business restructurings and shake-ups to help guide his new company through the difficult economic downturn. "It has been complete carnage and turmoil in the industry," Cook said. "This is also a company that has gone through restructuring after restructuring and various reductions in force and in having to navigate the legal minefields in a situation like that, it was very helpful coming out of Sears." Schneider left Sears eight years after Levin and worked as general counsel at Apac Customer Services and Movie Gallery before starting at Accertify. She once counted more than a dozen lawyers who worked with Levin at Sears before they became general counsel of their own companies in Chicago or other cities. She said there's no question that he left a mark on the company and its legal department. "It was dramatic, and it was painful, and what he did there did not make him a lot of people's friend, but every general counsel who followed him had a legacy that he or she was able to really grow and develop," she said. Schneider also credits Levin not only with her choice to become a corporate and securities lawyer, but also with her ability to become a competent lawyer. "He knew me, he trusted me and he knew what I was capable of doing," Schneider said. "Not only did Mike help me grow, but the people that Mike brought there also helped me grow." When asked about his biggest achievement at Sears, Levin easily answered: "The people. Look at them. Look at the success they have had. That one combined source produced an incredible number of general counsel. "If you can provide a base for people to have that kind of success in life, it makes you feel good," he said. "You can't ask for any more than that."

Medical Definition of Stem cell harvest, peripheral blood
Stem cell harvest, peripheral blood: A technique for obtaining stem cells from the patient's blood for use in bone marrow transplantation. They are lured out of the bone marrow by a special regimen of drugs. The blood is then filtered through a machine, and the stem cells are skimmed off. They can be used right away or stored in liquid nitrogen until needed. Also known as apheresis.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

It's been debatable whether to include FK (foreign key) columns in the conceptual model. That's why in Visual Studio 2010, a checkbox is added to Entity Data Model Wizard, so that the decision is left to the developers. While I was playing with it yesterday, I found FK particularly useful in the following scenario.
The application I was trying to build is really simple: change an order's related customer from A to B.
If FK (CustomerID) is in my Order entity, I could just do a lookup binding to this FK column, and call dataContext.SaveChanges().The drag-n-drop way of doing lookup binding to a ComboBox is to first drag the FK property (in this example, CustomerID in Order entity) with a ComboBox control, and drop it onto the form. Then drag the related lookup table (Customer entity) and drop it onto the previously created ComboBox control. The SelectedValue, SelectedValuePath, ItemsSource, and DisplayMemeberPath properties will be set for you.
Things become a little bit tricky if I don't have the FK in the entity.
Data bind Orders to a DataGrid
This step is fairly easy. Just drag Orders node onto the WPF Designer.
Create lookup binding to a ComboBox
Because I don't have the FK column in the model, there's no CustomerID property in Order entity. To create the lookup binding, I need to expand the navigation property Customer in Orders, and bind the CustomerID to a combobox.
After I drag-n-drop this node onto WPF Designer, I will have created a complex binding. To make it a lookup binding, I will link the newly created combobox to the lookup table. The way to do it is to drag the Customers node (marked with 2 on the picture above), and drop it onto the combobox. Please notice that while doing this, your cursor will change from a little + to an arrow, to indicate that we will not generate a new control. Instead, an existing control will be updated with the dragged data source.
Create button to save changes
Then I will add a button to "Update Customer". In the click event handler, I need to find current selected order, get the new CustomerID that replace the old FK value, and save the changes:
Order currentOrder = (Order)ordersViewSource.View.CurrentItem;
string customerID = customerIDComboBox.SelectedValue.ToString();
currentOrder.CustomerReference.EntityKey.EntityKeyValues[0].Value = customerID;
I made the data context (northwindEntities) and colletion view source (ordersViewSource) to be the property in MainWindow class, to make the code simple. I need to drill down into the order, find the CustomerReference, and set the EntityKeyValue.
Debug the application now. Everything looks good at first, but when I change the customer from one to another in the drop-down combobox, Bang! I get an InvalidOperationException: The property 'CustomerID' is part of the object's key information and cannot be modified. Although I successfully created the lookup binding, I cannot modify the value because the SelectedValue is not the FK in Order, but the PK in Customer!
This tells me that the combobox should be bound OneWay. I locate the combobox in XAML, and updated the SelectedValue binding mode:
SelectedValue="{Binding Path=Customer.CustomerID,Mode=OneWay}"
F5 again
Now change selection in the combobox will not trigger the exception anymore. I click on the "Update Customer" button to continue testing, bang (again)! This time, it says EntityKey values cannot be changed once they are set. I don't believe there's no way to do it, so I searched around the web and found that although the value cannot be reset, the entity key can be. Now let's assign the FK value in this way:
currentOrder.CustomerReference.EntityKey = new System.Data.EntityKey(
"CustomerID", customerID);
You could also use KeyValuePair if you have a complex key composed of more than one property. For more information, please see here.
After all the steps above, my application finally works as I expected. You might ask, why don't you just include the key to save all these coding and bang (runtime exception)? Some developers, as I said, vote for not including FK in the conceptual model because FK is a relational database concept and it will pollute the object world. Another reason is, the feature of include FK is only available in Visual Studio 2010, targeting .NET framework 4.0, for newly added tables. If you have an existing entity data model, you would still need to get yourself used to the life without FK.
Please let me know if you have any other idea or question about this!
[Update 10/20]: Alex has a post talking about this too. He suggested a way of wrapping the entity key so that a FK property is added into the partial class. Please check it out here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/bb735936.aspx

This was "fixed" in the scope of
HBASE-3060 so that replication chains can be created, but HBASE-2195 is still an issue.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you are saying JD. So can you do Master-Master replication? It would seem that
HBASE-2195 would prevent you from doing master-master replication as it would perpetuate the changes forever (because it wont stop replication when it goes back to the original cluster). I might be missing something though...
You got it right Jeff, so currently you can do master-master as long as tables that are scoped for replication on one cluster aren't on the other. Also now you can chain replication (the code I quoted in the description of this jira is what prevented you from doing it before). For example, here at SU we replicate from the web-serving prod to a "backup" cluster, which also contains some tables that are scoped for replication to a "dev" cluster that our front-end engineers use for obvious reasons.
This issue was closed as part of a bulk closing operation on 2015-11-20. All issues that have been resolved and where all fixVersions have been released have been closed (following discussions on the mailing list).

Aldec rolls out Linux-based mixed-language simulator
Post a comment
HENDERSON, Nev. Aldec Inc., a longtime provider of FPGA design tools, will make its first foray into the ASIC market this week with Riviera, a Linux-based mixed-language simulator. Riviera simulates VHDL, Verilog and EDIF and comes with an HDL editor and source-level debugger.
The simulation engine underlying Riviera is from Active-HDL, Aldec's Windows NT-based simulator. But Riviera is not a Linux port of Active-HDL, said Aldec marketing vice president David Rinehart. "It's native Linux. It's the first step as we move toward a Unix-based verification suite."
Some of Aldec's FPGA customers are looking for more capacity and setting up server farms, Rinehart said, and Linux offers those users better performance than Windows NT. Aldec has found that Riviera runs up to five times faster in batch mode under Linux than under Windows NT on the same hardware platform, he said.
But the real aim of Riviera is to gain entry into the high-end ASIC design marketplace. "It's a natural progression for our company," said Rinehart. "We do have some ASIC customers today, but mostly they're using our tools for prototyping."
Riviera does not yet have ASIC vendor signoff support, however. Rinehart said Aldec hasn't been able to gain that in the past, because its products didn't run under Unix. Riviera is available first under Linux but is expected to support Unix in the first quarter of 2001.
Like Active-HDL, Riviera supports all current IEEE VHDL, Vital and Verilog standards. While EDIF simulation is primarily for FPGA users, Aldec has kept the function in Riviera. Both Active-HDL and Riviera also have a Tcl scripting interface.
Integrated system
But there are differences. Active-HDL is an integrated system that includes a text editor, a graphical entry tool, a block-diagram editor, a state-machine editor and a debugger. Riviera is modular, so designers can use other design entry or debugging tools or, conversely, use Riviera's HDL editor with other simulators.
Riviera does not include the graphical entry, state-machine and block-diagram tools offered in the Active-HDL suite, but those will be added later, Rinehart said.
As for speed, Riviera is equal to or faster than "the leading simulator for VHDL" but is two to four times slower than the "leading Verilog simulator," he said. Aldec was an early supporter of VHDL and has just recently added Verilog simulation.
A key selling point for Riviera will be its integration with the Hardware Embedded Simulation (HES) system that Aldec expects to sell early next year. HES promises to be an inexpensive, FPGA-based emulation system that allows users to progressively download portions of a design into hardware, thus supporting the concept of "incremental prototyping." HES is said to yield a tenfold increase in simulation performance on designs of more than 500,000 gates.
Riviera comes with a source-level debugging capability that lets users set breakpoints, see variables and view waveforms. Users can navigate between the HDL editor and the simulator. Alternatively, Riviera runs with third-party HDL debugging programs.
Riviera starts at $12,495, including the HDL editor and debugger. It runs on Red Hat Linux. Licenses will be transferable to Windows NT and Unix once those operating systems are supported.
The product can be downloaded from Aldec's Web site. Aldec also plans to offer Riviera on the pay-per-use e*ECAD site.

Pumas drop Martin for Wales clash
Martin tackles Budge Poutney during a friendly against Scotland
Veteran flanker Rolando Martin has been dropped from the Pumas side to face Wales in Friday's World Cup opener at the Millennium Stadium.
Martin, who spent time with English club Richmond, has 49 caps for his country but has only been granted a place on the bench by coach Alex Wyllie.
Captain Lisandro Arbizu has overcome a leg infection which delayed his arrival in Cardiff and will lead the side against the tournament hosts.
The Brive centre trained yesterday after completing a course of antibiotics.
There are nine survivors from the second Test line-up beaten by Wales in Argentinia in June, including former captain Pedro Sporleder.
Sporleder and hooker Mario Ledesma, who also plays on Friday, were only cleared to play after suspensions for verbally abusing a referee were partially lifted.
Diego Albanese will play at left wing rather than his other Test position of full-back, while volatile Castres tighthead Mauricio Reggiardo joins Grau and Ledesma in the Pumas renowned front row.
Wales prop Peter Rogers, a key component in Wales' Test victories, is expecting another tough, intimidating battle in the scrum
Power play
"People are talking about Argentina possibly adopting a more expansive approach on Friday, and we might see flashes of that, but they love their power game," he said.
"I don't think they will move too far away from their traditional strengths. They have one of the best scrummaging units in world rugby, and I think they will be out to get us this time.
"But we competed well during the Tests in Buenos Aires, and have continued to work hard on our power game. When you do well up front, it gives the rest of the team a boost.
"To be honest, I don't care what type of game it is on Friday, as long as we win. We will take in the emotion of the occasion when we run out - you're not human if you don't feel it - but then we will switch on and get on with the job."
Argentina have lost all three meetings between the sides in the last 12 months.

NASHVILLE, March 31 (UPI) -- Eating too much Easter candy and not brushing will cause plaque to linger and expose the teeth to bacterial byproducts causing decay, a U.S. dentist says.
Richard Shin, a dentist and assistant professor of oral and maxillofacial surgery at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, said Easter candy can leave bacteria that cause tooth decay and gingivitis in the mouth. Children who are not diligent in brushing their teeth may have significantly more plaque -- where bacteria makes its home -- on their tooth surface, he said.
Shin suggests supervising children so they aim the toothbrush bristles around the gums where the plaque is most common, making sure that they brush the whole mouth, including the insides of teeth, and that they spend at least 7 to 8 seconds going back and forth per tooth.

Lightning completion and Ultra-TeX ---------------------------------- (Version 0.50 of 1998/12/21) The lightning completion package lets Emacs use "dynamic completion" on any number of things. By dynamic completion, I mean that you don't need to hit the tab key to initiate completion: once it is on, it stays on until there is a unique completion or it is turned off. This can be disconcerting at first, but once you get used to it, it is quite useful--especially when used with commands like find-file or describe-function. Ultra-TeX is an Emacs mode for editing LaTeX files (well, for editing TeX files in general, but it has been written very much with LaTeX in mind). It features dynamic completion on TeX commands (i.e., you hit "\" and Emacs starts trying to complete), as well as a few other things. For instance, it has an intelligent math mode; by looking at the cursor position, it decides whether you are in a math environment or not, and reacts accordingly (e.g., if you hit the key sequence to start boldface type, it inserts either "\mathbf" or "\textbf" depending on whether you're in math mode). It has other features; read the documentation for a full description. The lightning completions package was written by Mark Haiman and Nick Reingold. The first version of ultex was written by Mark, and then rewritten by both of them. John Palmieri then made various modifications, including getting everything to work with Emacs 19. Many suggestions were made by various people at MIT, Yale, and elsewhere. The ultex distribution files are: top directory: Changelog: A log of changes made to various parts of the package. INSTALLATION: Installation instructions. Makefile: Helps you install the package. README: This file. recent-changes.html: A more verbose, less formal list of changes than is in ChangeLog. older-changes.html: Like recent-changes.html, but (surprise!) older. lisp directory (main lisp code): Makefile: For installation/byte-compilation. aucify.el: Code for incorporating a few features of AUC-TeX into Ultra-TeX (prepared by Mark Hovey). docomp.el: For installation/byte-compilation. font-latex.el: Code for colorizing LaTeX documents (written by Peter Galbraith) light.el: The main file in the lightning completion package. tex-buf.el: The one piece of the AUC-TeX package that aucify.el needs. ultex-cus.el: Customization code for Ultra-TeX mode. ultex-setup.el: Initialization for Ultra-TeX mode. ultex.el: The main code for Ultra-TeX. texi directory (documentation): Makefile: For installation. font-latex.tex: Documentation for font-latex.el. light.texi: Lightning completion documentation, in texinfo mode. ultra.texi: Ultra-TeX documentation, in texinfo mode. user directory (user configuration files): greek.el: Typical key definitions for the greek keyboards; to be modified by each user. skeleton.tex: A typical document skeleton for a LaTeX user; to be modified by each user. textree.el: A typical completion table for a LaTeX user; each user will modify this to suit him or herself. Note: If you don't plan on reading the documentation, you can throw out any files ending ``.info'', ``.texi'', and ``.dvi''. Minimal installation requires the following: For lightning completion: light.el For Ultra-TeX: light.el ultex.el ultex-cus.el ultex-setup.el textree.el greek.el ------------------------------------------------------------------- Suggestions can be sent to email@example.com (or maybe to firstname.lastname@example.com).

Ultra-TeX – An emacs TeX mode with "lightning completion'
Ultra-TeX is an Emacs mode, a distant relation of AUC-Tex, with several enhancements (relative to the version it started from) and with a "lightning completion" mode that doesn't wait for a request for completion (the request is typically expressed by pressing the tab key).
