Well 'mid-december' should def be updated, but the transformers are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow!
This is such great news - missed out the first time round and always regretted it - my preorder is also in!
RIPPED! and... um... discourse software!
Ordered! Curious how many runs of 25 you sold earlier @Galapagoose
This is 2nd batch. Should start shipping first few orders next week. Still ~10 left of this batch.
anyone have an A/B recording with and without transformers? i'm intrigued but but must admit i have no idea what this sounds like...
Hastily ordered mine minutes before heading off in to the depths of the Mojave Desert with my son for our annual Mojave Preserve trip; birding (beautiful buteos mainly), artifact collecting, botanizing, rainbow watching, snow-hunting, joshua tree high-fiving, off road touring, sunset watching, rain enjoying, ruins exploring, cactus admiring, hiking, cinder cone looking, lava tube crawling, rock throwing, train spotting, mines exploring, general paleontological prehistory stuffing fun.
Did some excellent field recording as well!
I think someone posted audio of this a bit ago but can't seem to find it. Anyone remember?
Thanks in advance!
From the RIP page:
RIP is fully passive, with DC coupled inputs. You can't pass DC, but rather use it creatively to drive the iron cores into saturation.
Would still love to hear audio but in the meantime, could someone explain how this works? Is there an accompanying volume dip due to waveform clipping? Man I so love transformer saturation that I'm dying to trying this out!
EDIT: @le_palace pointed me to the audio by @ng_ which is a bit earlier in this thread.
I'll post a track if nobody does by tomorrow
Cool. Thanks! In a nutshell can you describe how you're doing this? What kinds of modulators? (LFOs?) Very curious to see what happens with slowwww modulation.
I remember accidently mingling audio w/ lfo from JF & TT
I'll see if I have time to do again deliberately
Offset voltage from an Isms attenuator mixed with the signal pushes RIP transformers into saturation.
im even a little confused with this description. are you saying you increase the volume of the audio signal (simply by using an attenuator) going into input A until it distorts on RIP? i don't think so as the volume of the sine waves didn't really increase. i know im missing something basic here...
thanks in advance
you mix DC signal into the AC signal
The Isms attenuators have a 5v normalization. I should've explained that.
You shift the audio signal more into the negative or positive range by the offset voltage so the half of it will saturate. Technically it stays at the same volume and with an AC coupled device the offset effect would be ironed out.
thanks for the quick responses. this absolutely makes sense.
Hi,If anyone would be so kind as to have a look at (or happen to know) the width of the PCB on the RIP please, I'd be most grateful.Would be keen to convert this into 1u (intellijel) format, but the pcb would need to fit through the 25mm gap between rails. I'd have to figure out a way to keep the graphics though...
The board is 25mm, but the transformer covers have a diameter of ~28mm so there's no way it'll fit.
Just measured btw; haven't installed mine yet.
Waiting on mine but was just going to chime in that @Larrea posted a nice picture over here:
Gives you an idea what you'd be up against...

Heading to The Modern tomorrow for a birthday celebration for two. I selected it based on all of the raves on this board so thank you for your mouth-watering reports. I went on their website to preview the wine list. I am taking my sister and I do not want to break the bank. Has anyone had a good experience with a red under $100 on the list? I am open to all varietals but I would say my preference would be for a pinot noir, a blend, or a balanced cab versus a powerful cab. My main goal is good wine, good vintage, good value.
I'd also be interested in hearing if anyone had the wine pairings (even though that would ratchet the whole deal up to where I could buy a $200 bottle!) but just thought I'd ask in case someone thinks it's a must!
Thanks so much!

Pittenger amendment to boost counterterrorism efforts passes U.S. House
WASHINGTON – Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously approved an amendment introduced by Congressman Robert Pittenger, Vice Chairman of the Financial Services Committee Task Force to Investigate Terrorism Financing, to increase funding for the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) by $3 million dollars. The amendment was attached to the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act (H.R. 5485) which also passed last evening.
"As groups like ISIS become increasingly sophisticated, they often access the United States and the international financial system to transfer funds required for their global network," stated Congressman Pittenger (NC-09).
"FinCEN is on the front lines ensuring that terrorist and criminal enterprises cannot reap the benefits of normal banking operations. Congress must continue to provide support for FinCEN and adequately fund its crucial operations."
The Treasury Department's FinCEN is our government's primary agency dedicated to combatting money laundering and terrorist group financing. The increase in FinCEN funding is fully offset by cutting waste elsewhere in the budget.
Representatives Lynch (D-MA), Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Hinojosa (D-TX), Sinema (D-AZ), Sherman (D-CA), Hill (R-AR), Ellison (D-MN), and Meeks (D-NY) joined Congressman Pittenger as cosponsors of the amendment.
Both the amendment and overall bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday. This amendment is in addition to the two counterterrorism bills Congressman Pittenger introduced last week, as noted below:
- The Anti-Terrorism Information Sharing Is Strength Act (H.R. 5606) increases information sharing across federal law enforcement agencies and requires the Treasury Department to report to Congress the risks and benefits of sharing information with foreign financial institutions. Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee, joined as an original co-sponsor.
- The Enhancing Treasury's Anti-Terror Tools Act (H.R. 5607) requires the Treasury Department to investigate ways to incorporate our Embassies into counter-terrorism financing efforts and assess ways to improve anti-terror finance monitoring of cross-border transfers. Congressman Stephen Lynch, Ranking Member of the Financial Services Committee Task Force to Investigate Terrorism Financing, joined as an original co-sponsor.
Congressman Pittenger serves as Chairman of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare and Vice Chairman of the Financial Services Committee Task Force to Investigate Terrorism Financing.

On Wednesday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee cleared the resolution authorizing military force against Syria in a 10-7 vote. The resolution is more likely to pass in the Senate than in the House where most Republicans have come out against the idea because it gives President Obama too much discretion.
Some Democrats who oppose the resolution have expressed concern that the U.S. should not get involved in another military mission in the Middle East as the U.S. is drawing troops out of Afghanistan. The administration has said it would not put any U.S. boots on the ground in Syria.
Sen. Patrick LeahyPatrick Joseph LeahyLawmakers, celebs honor Tony Bennett with Library of Congress Gershwin Prize Dem senator jokes: 'Moment of weakness' led me to share photo comparing Trump, Obama Leahy presses Trump court nominee over LGBTQ tweets MORE (D-N.H.) opposed the initial resolution from the White House, but applauded the announcement Thursday that the full Senate would begin deliberation on the matter next week.
"I remain skeptical of the United States going alone, and about what comes after. But this will be an important Senate debate, on deadly serious issues, about a resolution that may well see further changes," Leahy said. "It makes sense to have the debate and then decide, not to decide and then have the debate."

A genogram is similar to a family tree, but it contains additional information about the mental, physical and emotional state of family members. Once established, the genogram serves as a valuable resource for tracking medical conditions from one generation to the next and makes it easy to see connections that may go unnoticed if they are not written down. Genograms may provide clues useful in diagnosis and treatment of disorders.
Begin with yourself and your immediate family. Draw a basic chart with you and your spouse on the bottom. Draw a square on the left side of the page for the male and a circle for the female. Connect the two with a straight line (see Resources for graphic representation of charts).
Move up a level and place the parents of the husband above his name with his father to the left and mother to the right. Place the wife's parents above her name. Connect with a solid line.
Place children under the parents by drawing a vertical line connecting them to their parent line. Include as many generations as desired by following the same procedure. Most genograms include three generations, but some prefer to complete as much information as possible.
Decide on symbols for physical, medical and emotional traits. The important thing is that you will recognize the symbol and that it is used consistently throughout the genogram. Include a legend on the chart that explains what each symbol represents.
Include as much information as possible. What may seem trivial now may prove to be important clues to hereditary conditions and prove helpful in practicing preventive medicine or for making accurate diagnoses for family members.

As Michael Jordan watched his bride, former model Yvette Prieto, walk down the aisle of Bethesda-by-the-Sea church in Palm Beach, Fla., April 27, there was "a feeling of incredible love between them," says one observer. With 300 guests including former Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen and onetime rival Patrick Ewing looking on, the NBA star said "I do" for a second time.
Jordan, 50, met the Cuban-born Prieto, 35, at a nightclub in 2008, two years after his divorce from first wife Juanita, mother of his three children. Prieto, who once dated singer Julio Iglesias Jr., accepted Jordan's proposal in 2011. A first-time bride, she chose a seven-layer white rum cake decorated with crystal brooches. The 40,000-sq.-ft. tent was bedecked with white roses, peonies and tulips. And when Jordan (whose father, James, was killed in 1993) danced with his mother, Deloris, "there wasn't a dry eye in the house." But it was the newlyweds that left the lasting impression, said the source: "They are so very much in love."

Columnist & TV criticFollow @mikewardontv
Why Netflix and Amazon won't kill terrestrial telly anytime soon, writes Mike Ward
MY favourite TV show right now?
And I'm loving royal drama The Crown, which popped up on Netflix a couple of weeks back.
ITV's latest I'm A Celeb series has been a bit of a laugh so far as well, hasn't it?
Oh, and let's not forget The Missing, on BBC1. Me and Mrs W., we never miss The Missing.
Plus, of course, there's Corrie and Strictly and Pointless and all those great new Netflix episodes of Black Mirror.
Marvellous, the lot of them.
"It's deeply uncool to admit it, but millions of us LIKE the predictably of the schedules"Mike Ward
So, yeah, you see what I've done there, don't you? I've shown myself to be a proper, switched-on 21st century dude, nonchalantly switching back and forth between the streaming stuff and the traditional channels, as if that's no big deal – as if it's all just part of one big fabulous modern-day telly-watching experience.
But that's because it genuinely is.
An experience where, despite what some will try and tell you, both types of telly have an important role to play – and will do for a long time to come.
It's become painfully, punchably fashionable among snobby, elitist viewers to dismiss conventional telly as outdated and out of touch. But this, pardon my asterisks, is b****cks.
Both Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have been bringing out some fantastic original series that have been a joy to watch.
They're quite rightly proud of these shows. And I don't blame them for making a big song and dance about them.
But remember, these streaming services have a huge advantage here.
Namely, they can afford to pick and choose when to make one of these original shows of theirs, throw a lot of money at it, and put it up for us to watch when they're good and ready.
In terms of new offerings, they have the luxury of being able to choose quality over quantity. They're not expected to produce a constant daily stream of new stuff – dramas, documentaries, light entertainment, chat shows, news, sport etc. – and fill the schedules with it 365 days a year.
So we're simply not comparing like with like.
And yes, viewers DO still want traditional TV schedules.
For one thing, most of us are creatures of habit.
It's deeply uncool to admit it, but millions of us LIKE the predictably of the schedules.
There's a ritual to it, even a comfort, – Saturdays, for example, mean The X Factor, Sundays are for period dramas, Fridays are packed with chat shows and comedy, the soaps rarely stray far from their regular weekday slots etc etc – much as football fans still like to think of 3pm on a Saturday as the proper kick-off time.
There's no shame in admitting as much, to enjoying the ritual.
Sure, it's nice that we have the freedom these days to watch a programme at a later time or date.
But that's not exactly a radical development, is it? It's what TV viewers have done for generations.
It's just that downloading and streaming tend to be less of a pain in the backside than crawling around on the carpet, shoving a big fat VHS cassette inside some clunky piece of machinery and hoping to God you've keyed in the right code for EastEnders, rather than setting it to record a documentary on the Byzantine Empire.
Also, don't let's forget, our terrestrial channels perform a service that I doubt the streaming folk would ever want to bother with.
As well as giving us their fair share of great homegrown dramas, documentaries, current affairs programmes etc., the terrestrial channels excel at the lightweight, throwaway stuff - the sort of television that often just keeps us company throughout the day, that doesn't set out to change the world.
The sort that people rarely admit to watching, but that they clearly do watch in quite significant numbers.
Let's face it, Netflix or Amazon Prime Video aren't going to be making their own versions of Saturday Kitchen or Loose Women or The Chase or This Morning or Come Dine With Me – or indeed I'm A Celebrity – anytime soon.
And to me, shows like that are just as much a part of the TV-watching experience as the "important" ones.
So go ahead and enjoy the likes of the The Grand Tour, Black Mirror and The Crown. They're tremendous, every one of them. We're privileged to have them.
But if sometimes you just fancy slumping on the sofa, watching a soap star chewing on a wallaby's scrotum, never be afraid to admit it.

Hey horsey friends – Second post of the '99 Questions' series of blogs. We have a long way to go to get all 99 in but stick with it, I've written 8 of them! lol
I'm trying to keep them quick fire and succinct with links to other blogs that might help you and to give you a quick nudge and provoke a thought before you ride. I really think there will be something for everyone.
Self-Assessment Question #2 : Are you in balance?
Can you let go of the reins and ride without reliance on your hand? If you can't you may need to go back to basics which means checking your riding position.
Find Your Centre of Gravity
To find if you are truly over the centre of gravity whilst the horse is moving, means verifying that your legs are in the correct position. To do this lift your bottom out of the saddle and go into 'half seat' (at least).
However, in order to check absolute alignment (and slightly more difficult to do) is the ability to stand up straight, with an upright back. Do this from your seated position without gripping with your legs or using the reins to keep your balance.
If you find that you tip forwards or fall backwards, or if you find that you need to move your legs in order to stand up independently, then your legs were not in the correct position when you started.

One sem down =)
The semester is finally over! Yeah! Things happened quite fast. I can still remember the moment we arrived here. And now we're done with one sem! Let me just describe it briefly, it's a sem full of adjustments - meeting new people, experiencing winter and spring seasons for the first time, learning the Korean language, and of course all other things Korean (food, drinks, lifestyle). Whew! So I just want to share some pictures of our sem-ender celebration in my Korean Language class.

Four months and counting
Four months and counting! Yeah, I've been staying here in Korea for already four months. Time flies! And I think, before I know it, two years has already gone by and I'll be returning back to the Philippines. So before that happens, I must make the most of my stay here. I don't want to go home with thoughts of I should have done this, I should have experienced this and that... I hope the memories that I'll have of Korea will not be all about laboratory works, pressure, stress, lack of sleep, etc. So the following are the MUST-DO in the remaining 1 year and 8 months of my stay here.
- explore other parts of South Korea by having some out-of-town trips once a month
- do some sports, swimming on top of the list for the month of July
- meet new friends, be it Korean or other foreigners
- update my blog regularly by posting once a week
- start managing my finances well and allot part of my allowance for savings
- go to Forever21 in Seoul
- discover more stores and best buys in downtown
- have a glimpse of Korean Fashion Week
- be an English tutor to Korean kids
So there, as of now those are the priorities. Aja! Take it one step at a time. =)

Employing service users is good for the individuals concerned, for other members of staff and for the organisation as a whole. Thames Reach has gained many benefits from employing staff with a personal history of homelessness and service use.
Most organisations that work with homeless people will recognise the following benefits from their own organisational objectives.
The benefits for service user employees are many, including increased self-worth, hope and a route away from the difficult aspects of daily life, all wrapped up in a meaningful job with high levels of satisfaction and personal and professional rewards.
"GROW offered me a sense of self, it's built up my confidence to deal with any situation that arises."
"It gave me a purpose to wake up in the morning. I didn't feel like an outcast any more."
"I just want to give something back to Thames Reach. Programmes like this are one in a million."
"It's given me my life back."
Former GROW trainees now working as support workers in Thames Reach
Read more about benefits to service user employees
An organisation that employs service users has much to gain, not least a greater sense of unity, of 'practicing what we preach'. But there are also financial and service-delivery benefits, and the development of a more knowledgeable, motivated and effective workforce.
Employing service users bring numerous benefits to an organisation's:
communications resource and effectiveness
reputation within the sector and with partners and funders
service delivery: Service users encounter and are inspired by positive role models; the service develops a culture of empowerment and raised expectations of service users; services benefit from the experience and knowledge of user employees and become more focused and needs-led
human resources, in particular the service user employees themselves, who are highly committed and hardworking and provide a team of staff able to provide internal training. The benefits also extend to the broader staff team, who enjoy greater job satisfaction, are motivated, have a deeper understanding of the causes of homelessness and a stronger belief in the potential of homeless people
financial position. Reap the rewards of your investment in training service users, and save money on recruitment; generate new business providing services to other organisations; tap new funding streams; secure Supporting People funding and meet the expectations of funders and gain the feedback that ensures services are efficient and focused on need and benefits to service users
Read more about benefits to the organisation
Thames Reach, in conjunction with the London Housing Foundation and Novas, held a national seminar for homelessness agencies that are actively engaged in employing current and former homeless people within their organisation.
One of the objectives of the seminar was to identify the benefits of service user employment in the homelessness sector.
Attendees at the seminar all agreed that the benefits of employing people with experience of homelessness were extensive and made a compelling case. They also agreed that the gains of this type of initiative far outweighed any real or perceived difficulties.

I just was wondering as ive read about some who feel that the dialer for the X10 is feature lacking, if the HTC keyboard that many are using also replaces the stock dialer? Or, is this something that you would have to download separately? If its the latter then what are others using?


text: So I've noticed iPhone vanity sites such as, guyswithiphones.com or girlswithiphones.com, where apple fanboys and girls shamelessly show pictures of themselves with their iPhone. So in the same vein, I've just created: Guys with Androids Where proud android users can post picts of themselves just for fun. I've just started out and I'm looking for pictures of you! The only criteria is you need to be a guy and take a picture of yourself with your android powered phone. Why would you want to do this? 15 minutes of fame? Receive comments on your pretty face? Or how about android users get just as proud of their phones as apple fanboys? thanks for your help

A week after U.S. Special Forces teamed with Kurdish Peshmerga fighters to carry out a daring raid in an ISIS-occupied town in Iraq, Kurdistan Arab media report a stunning new American operation near Mosul (Nineveh in Biblical times).
"U.S. force begins air landing operation near Mosul" Iraqi News reported today. In reality, the U.S. Special Forces carried out a similar raid as the one in Riyadh Kurdistan last week.
A local source told Iraqi News that American commandos landed in the ISIS-held village of Azheleya near the city of Mosul in the middle of the night. The U.S. Special forces killed 15 Islamic State terrorists and captured 11 others, the source told Iraqi News.
Advertisement - story continues below
The source said local ISIS' leaders were among those captured, but others told the Iraqi news outlet that the ISIS leaders escaped to Syria after the American raid. The U.S. force managed to withdraw from the area without suffering any losses the local source said.
The raid on Riyadh Kurdistan last week had a different goal then first was reported by Rudaw in Iraqi Kurdistan. Breitbart later reported that Russian media, including the state-controlled Tass News Agency, claimed U.S. forces captured a high-ranking Islamic State commander during that operation.

The Kurdish American forces arrested Tarkhan Batirashvili, also known as Abu Omar al-Shishani, during the joint raid in Riyadh, Tass reported. The Pentagon denied that al-Shishani, who started his career in the Georgian army, was captured during the raid, but a spokesman for the Iraqi Interior Ministry confirmed the Tass report.
The spokesman, Brigadier General Saad Maan, told the Russian news site Sputnik, that "U.S. commandos have captured two field commanders and Abu Omar Al-Shishani." Maan added that the ISIS commanders had been taken to the city of Sulaymaniyah in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Shishani was one of the most important Islamic State leaders and was a member of the ISIS Shura Council in Syria. He pledged allegiance to Islamic State leader al-Baghdadi in 2013 and helped to establish the new Caliphate in Syria and Iraq.
"Our aim is clear, and everyone knows why we are fighting. Out path is toward the caliphate. We will bring back the caliphate, and if God does not make it out fate to restore the caliphate, then we ask him to grant us martyrdom," he said during an appearance in a 2014 ISIS video. Shishani was the mastermind behind hundreds of suicide attacks carried out by ISIS.
The reports about the U.S. raids in Iraq suggest the U.S. Special Forces are successfully implementing the goals of their presence in Iraq.
In an early December announcement regarding a decision to send U.S. forces back to Iraq for combat missions, Defense Secretary Ashton Cater said, "These special operators will over time be able to conduct raids, free hostages, gather intelligence and capture ISIL leaders."

The successful U.S. raids in Iraq do not mean ISIS is anywhere near defeat.
The euphoria about the successful operations last week in the strategically important city of Ramadi near Bagdad against the Islamic State was tempered by news that the Islamic State had launched a devastating counter-attack against the Iraqi forces in the city.
ISIS used between six and ten car bombs to drive the Iraqi forces out of a base in North Ramadi. The ISIS terrorists managed to recapture the compound after the government forces suffered heavy losses. The city was "liberated" the mainstream media reported last week, but today BBC and other major news outlets had to backtrack on their initial reports.
The BBC released a video with a field report by Thomas Fessy, a BBC reporter who was in the center of Ramadi after the alleged liberation by Iraqi forces. He reported large parts of the city remained under Islamic State control.

KRChoksey is bullish on PVR and has recommended accumulate rating on the stock with a target of Rs 291 in its November 30, 2012 research report.
KRChoksey is bullish on PVR and has recommended accumulate rating on the stock with a target of Rs 291 in its November 30, 2012 research report.
"PVR Ltd. has announced buyout of 69.27% stake of Cinemax promoters at Rs 203.65 per share which is 10.7% premium to yesterday's market price of Cinemax. The deal size of promoter's stake is Rs 395crs.PVR will announce subsequent open offer for 26% stake in Cinemax. PVR will make the acquisition through Cine Hospitality Private Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company. At present PVR has 210 screens spread across 46 properties across 27 cities. Cinemax is present at 38 locations with 138 screens. It is one of the dominant players in Mumbai it operates 14 Locations with 45 screens in and around Mumbai. Out of Mumbai it has 25 properties and 93 screens. The deal will make PVR the clear market leader with 348 screens; ahead of Inox Leisure-Fame combine (256), which is currently a step ahead of Big Cinemas (254) as the largest operator of multiplex in India in terms of number of cinema screens. Although the transaction looks little expensive at valuation point of view, considering Cinemax's strong presence in Mumbai which enjoys one of the highest occupancy and ATP, will give boost to revenues going ahead. We believe operational synergies and increased geographical presence will be value accretive. Maintain Accumulate."
"PVR promoters will infuse Rs 25crs, L Capital which has earlier invested Rs 108crs for 10% equity stake, will put in Rs 82.3crs while Multiples PE fund of Renuka Ramnath will bring in Rs 163crs. Post the transaction, L Capital and Multiples both will own 15.8% stake while promoter shareholding will come down from 40.2% to 32.1%. Incremental debt of Rs 135crs will be raised for remaining part of the deal. Post Cinemax acquisition, PVR will have 348 screens; ahead of Inox Leisure- Fame combined 256 screens and Big Cinemas 254screens. PVR enjoys higher ATP as compared to Cinemax. We believe, post acquisition operational synergies will benefit to both the entities and increased geographical presence will drive higher revenue growth and better operating margins."
"We believe PVR's acquisition of Cinemax will bring consolidation in movie exhibition industry and this will inch up ATP and drive healthy revenue growth. At current price, the stock is trading at 12.2x PE to its FY14E earnings. We maintain ACCUMULATE on the stock with a target price of Rs 291," says KRChoksey research report.

Pope asks G8 to hear the cry of the poor
Before leaving for his summer vacation in the Italian Alps, Pope John Paul II made a powerful appeal to rich countries who begin their G8 summit in Genoa, Italy, on 21 July. Speaking before the Angelus in St Peter's Square, on Sunday, the Pope said the rich countries must hear the cry of the poor. The universal allocation of the goods of the earth is a cornerstone of the social doctrine of the Church, he said. Repeating the words of his homily to Youth 2000 in Rome last summer, the Pope said: "I told them you must not be resigned to a world in which others die of hunger, are illiterate, or lack work. You must defend life in every moment of its earthly development, and make energetic efforts to render this earth increasingly habitable for all." Calling for the urgent need for a new morality, the Pope said, faith does not allow Christians to be indifferent. It urges Christians to challenge those responsible for politics and economics, and demands that globalization is firmly governed by motives for the common good of all, based on the absolute demands of justice and solidarity. Above all, the Pope said, he called on Christians to pray for those in power, and work together to build a better world. It was the duty of every Christian, he said, "to prepare themselves with a strong moral and spiritual education, with in-depth knowledge of the Church's social doctrine, and with great love for Jesus Christ, redeemer of every man and of the whole man." The Pope concluded by expressing his confidence that Italy would show generous hospitality to those coming to Genoa for the convention. He said: "Let us ask the Most Holy Virgin to infuse sentiments of peace and solidarity in the heart of each one, so that the forthcoming meeting will end in favorable decisions for the real good of the whole of humanity."

Lon, The only thing I changed is the line my $powerop_mode = VM_POWEROP_MODE_HARDinstead of 'soft'. The machine is now correctly power-cycled and comes back online.
The last issue I am still struggling with is the fact that the heartbeat sometimes stops. In answer to a previous post: vmware-tools are installed and running.
Based upon further investigation I must now conclude that the ESX-layer cannot throttle the VCPU up in time - the test-machines are mainly idle and VMWare (correctly) drops the amount of CPU-cycles allocated to this machine. When some process now suddenly needs more CPU power the machine 'chokes' - the 'virtual' load suddenly peaks and the heartbeat just doesn't execute (for example, we see fencing occur when the nightly cron jobs execute). I've tried renicing the cman_hbeat process but this also does not prove effective. I'm aware that setting a larger post-fail delay may solve the problem, but I'd prefer this value to be 0 in case of a real failure.

9 Best Foods for Psoriasis
Food cannot cure or even treat psoriasis, but eating better might reduce the symptoms. Nutritionists and physicians recommend a healthy, balanced diet to control your weight and your psoriasis, as well as lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke (which are elevated in people with psoriasis). Here's a list of some anti-psoriasis foods to help you fight this unpleasant condition:
Carrots and Squash
A diet that's high in fruits and vegetables can have an anti-inflammatory effect. Psoriasis is an inflammatory condition. Certain vegetables, such as carrots and squash, can produce an anti-inflammatory effect on the body. Other vegetables that might have inflammation-fighting properties include sweet potatoes, spinach, kale, and broccoli.
Eating garlic on a daily basis may also be helpful for psoriasis people. Garlic is a lipoxygenase inhibitor, which means that it can help stop the activity of enzymes responsible for inflammation.
Turmeric is known to possess anti-inflammatory properties, and anecdotal evidence indicates that this powerful root plant of the ginger family may also be able to fend off psoriasis symptoms.
Lean Meat
Some people with psoriasis report anecdotally that their condition seems to improve if they limit red meat. So choose lean meat types such as white-meat chicken or turkey if you want to eat meat.
Fish and Seafood
Omega-3 fatty acids -- abundant in fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, and albacore tuna -- are the foundation of a heart-healthy diet. Fish oils are thought to reduce inflammation and help the immune system, which is overactive in people with psoriasis. It's a good idea to eat fish at least twice a week.
Fish Eggs
Fish eggs -- also known as roe or caviar -- are one of the best natural sources of DHA and EPA. DHA and EPA are types omega-3 fatty acids which, due to their strong anti-inflammatory properties, may help prevent and manage psoriasis breakouts.
Healthy Grains
You may be avoiding bread and pasta due to gluten, but that doesn't mean you have to give up grains altogether. Healthy grains such as brown rice and quinoa contain a variety of anti-inflammation antioxidants and are high in fiber, which has been linked with lower inflammation levels and better regulation of blood sugar.
Nuts and Avocados
Cutting out bad fats are important, but there are plenty of "good fats" that help transport vitamins throughout the body and regulate metabolism. These include the polyunsaturated fats found in nuts, vegetable oils, and avocados, and monounsaturated fats found in soybean oil, walnuts, flaxseed, and certain fish.
Blueberries have high anti-inflammatory properties, packed with vitamin C, manganese (good for bone health), and are a good source of fiber. Other fruits that may have anti-inflammatory properties include mangoes, strawberries, and figs. And yes, these fruits are all low in fat.

Harvesting tough rice (Oryza saliva L.) at a low moisture content is one method of reducing energy needs for drying. The objectives of energy-related research were to: 1) determine the economic feasibility of harvesting rice at a low moisture content; 2) identify the harvest moisture level at which head rice yield drops sharply; 3) identify rice cultivars adaptable for field drying; and 4) estimate energy savings to be gained by harvesting at particular moisture levels.
Rough rice initially at 25% moisture content was harvested at 11 intervals during a time span of 30 to 36 days to determine the amount of drying in the field and the effect of field drying on grain yield, milling yield, germination, and test weight. Ten tests were run during four harvest seasons. Long-grain cultivars, 'Labelle' and 'Lebonnet', and medium-grain cultivars, 'Brazos' and 'Nato', were included in the tests. During each of the tests, rice moisture content dropped steadily during dry weather, but rain and dew caused unpredictable amounts of rewetting. Rice eventually dried to near 16% moisture content in all 10 tests and to 14% moisture content or lower in five of the tests.
Grain yields were not greatly affected by delayed harvesting, but tended to decrease before the tests were concluded. The percentage of total milled rice (whole and broken kernels combined) increased with delays in harvest date, but the percentage of head rice (whole kernels of milled rice) reached a maximum at an intermediate harvest date, then declined rapidly with delays in harvesting. Both Brazos and Lebonnet cultivars required harvesting at a higher moisture content than did Labelle and Nato cultivars to maintain a high percentage of head rice. Neither germination nor test weight was adversely affected by delays in harvest dates. Energy for drying may be reduced about 50% by harvesting rice at 16% rather than at 22% moisture content.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Why Smart Phone Owners Should Be Scared
As most of you out there probably already know, we live in a surveillance society where our governments not only have truly scary legal powers (plus the technical ability) to spy on pretty much everything we do, but also exploit these powers to the full.
You probably also know that smart phones make us even more vulnerable to government surveillance than other forms of technology. We carry them around with us at all times, use them as a primary means of communication and interacting with our friends, work colleagues, and the wider digital universe, and we store photos and other intimate details about our lives on them.
Smart phones for quite some time have also been widely known to be extremely insecure. Despite this, however, Edward Snowdon's comments to BBC1's Panorama program last night should give any smart phone owner kittens.
In the program, Snowden talks about four cyberweapons used by the UK spy agency GCHQ to spy on targets:
- "Dreamy Smurf is the power management tool, which means turning your phone on and off without your knowing
- Nosey Smurf is the 'hot micing' tool. So for example if it's in your pocket, they can turn the microphone on and listen to everything that's going on around you
- Tracker Smurf… is a geo-location tool which allows [GCHQ] to follow you with a greater precision than you would get from the typical triangulation of cellphone towers
- Paranoid Smurf… is a self-protection tool that's used to armour [GCHQ's] manipulation of your phone. For example, if you wanted to take the phone in to get it serviced because you saw something strange going on or you suspected something was wrong, it makes it much more difficult for any technician to realise that anything's gone amiss."
Snowden concludes that,
"They want to own your phone, not you."
These revelations are not new. The Guardian published GCHQ slides obtained through Snowden that mention these tools back in January 2014, and these documents were also presented as evidence by Privacy International in its (largely unsuccessful) legal bid to prevent GCHQ unlawfully using malware to spy on British citizens.
The fact that Snowden has raised the issue again on such a flagship BBC program as Panorama, however, is likely bring it to the attention of a wider audience.
It is unclear how this 'Smurf army' works, but Snowden seems to suggest that the attack vector is via text messages that carry a hidden payload. GCHQ has so far declined to comment on the allegations.
The entire Panorama program is available on BBC iPlayer (and will continue to be available until September 2016.) Non-UK residents can easily access iPlayer using a VPN or SmartDNS service.

TransAmerica Long Term Care Insurance Review
TransAmerica offers a variety of financial services and is considered as one of the top insurance services in the country today. The company aims to make long term insurance more available by providing a myriad of solutions that includes tax qualified and inflation protected plans to make it more affordable and effective.
Premiums are determined through a number of factors (age upon enrolment, type of policy and coverage) but after considering all of these, TransAmerica premiums are about 20 percent more than comparable plans.
Inflation protection is available but it is almost triple that of plans without inflation protection. Over the long run however daily benefits for inflation protected plans pays double. Daily benefits for non-inflation protected plans for example pay $100 but those with protection doubles this up to $200. An inflation protected plan at the end of the year could be $1000 more and at 15 years this totals to $15,000 but if the plan pays $200,000 in maximum benefits compared to $100,000 for non-protected plans then it gives $100,000 minus the $15,000 added payment of course which roughly translates to $80,000 more in benefits.

Kill false assumptions & evolve
Many of us are making decisions based on false assumptions every single day. In fact we're underpinning our businesses, organisations, products and personal lives with false assumptions. We keep on doing things that have been proven wrong, that haven been proven not to work, despite mounting evidence that there's a better way. Our false assumptions are memes, i.e. viral cultural ideas we pass from human to human, brain to brain (you can read a bit more about memes in my previous post on replicators here). Sometimes we keep spreading memes... Read The Rest →
Markets are conversations… so what? Part II
Following my last post a few folk asked me to expand on how to enable two-way comms. To cut a long story short, if you're a big company with loads of people wanting to talk, the only way to get scale is to empower your staff to talk to customers. Companies who've been around for a long time often can't see a way to make this happen – or it's already happening in pockets under the radar and they don't know how to control it. The important point to remember... Read The Rest →
I haven't blogged in any great depth about Scrmblr ('scrambler'), so thought it was about time. Scrmblr is a global network of content producers (Scrmblrs) who create anti-ads (Scrmbls). Marketing used to be about advertising, but advertising is often expensive, fake and dumb. What remains important is the act of telling stories about the things we trade – stories that sell and stories that spread. Scrmblr gives power to the people – the talented people of the world, enabling creators of great content to reap fair rewards, while enabling organisations... Read The Rest →

The zombie media
Michael Rosenblum's recent post on conventional media companies is worth blogging in full, so here it is: They are the walking dead. Conventional media companies, that is. They are already dead, they just don't know it. "I'm still alive" they say. Tear off an arm… or fire 30% of your editorial staff… but they keep coming at you. "See. I'm still alive!" Rip off another arm…. "still alive", despite the blood all over the floor. They are dead. Newspapers. TV networks. The undead. It's just that no one has told... Read The Rest →

Decline factors… - Inefficient many‐to‐many supply chain = high levels of wastage - Risk adverse publishers hamper the emergence of new authors - Entry to distribution channels is a fundamental barrier to new publishers setting up - Market data isn't successfully harnessed to allow better decision making on which titles to produce - Publishers place more emphasis on fulfilling orders than on understanding customer needs - ICT adoption is...

text: Ok, so a few weeks back i mentioned that i was developing an app that needs to be opened via a link on a webpage. I just set the content-type of the page to application/x-hst and put the correponding registry values in for that type: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.hst] @="hst_file" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\hst_file] @="My Program" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\hst_file\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\hst_file\shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\hst_file\shell\open\command] @="C:\Path\to\Program.exe\" "%1" This works GREAT in windows 2k. Program opens up as expected, and life is good. However, on my XP machines, it seems that IE (and only IE) ALWAYS asks me for an "Open/Save As" confirmation, and the checkbox "Always ask before opening this type of file" is disabled which tells me that a security setting somewhere is prohibiting me to just tell the browser to Open the file. And it's only IE!! MyIE2 is fine, Netscape is fine, and all others seem cool. Anybody know anything about this? It's getting pretty frustrating because I really don't want to have my users choose "Open" every single time. help?

text: I've searched the 'net, I've looked at every crappy icon pack in the market, and I absolutely cannot find an icon pack that I am satisfied with. Basically what I'm looking for are solid (non-transparent) versions of the LauncherPro icons, or icons that are identical (one solid color with no transparency or shadowing) so that I can edit them to my liking. I've got decent photoshopping skills, but I've tried goofing around with the LauncherPro icons to no avail, I can't get them looking quite right. Recommendations would be MUCH appreciated!


text: Not in a million year would I have ever imagined walking into a wine store. Why? Because I don't drink at all. But OC Wine Mart & Wine Tasting Bar is different from all the other wine stores or wine tasting bars. Julie, the owner, regularly hosts events to introduce new wines, beer, or other new specialty items. She even partners with food truck to serve food. This is great for families with children. While adults can enjoy some wine tasting, the little ones can still enjoy the food.

It started with the birds in Arkansas. Then birds fell from the sky in Louisiana and Kentucky, too. But it didn't stop there. Huge fish kills were discovered in multiple US waterways. And suddenly it became a worldwide phenomenon, with reports of mass die-offs of birds and fish in Sweden, Britain, Japan, Thailand, Brazil and beyond as following:
- Thousands of Dead Birds Falling from the Sky
- 2,000,000 Dead Fish Wash Up in Chesapeake
- 100 Tons of Fish Dead in Brazil
- 40,000 Crabs Wash Ashore in Kent

Conspiracy theorists & religious bloggers have already started their Apocalyptic Promotion! What do the hubbers have to say about it?
Do I think its the apocalypse--no not really....do I believe that our world is dying--yes. It could just be an oddeball occurrence that happens every so many years. Is it weird--oh yea...unexplainable--probably, but apocalypse... don't think so. I look at it like, with all the gifted (psychics) we have all around the world, and they haven't started freaking out yet...I think everything is fine--just a one time mass craziness occurred in the animal kingdom
I had similar feelings too. Environmental degradation probably.
These things have always happened - we just didn't know about them. With the internet and 24-hour news, we're more informed. That's not to say that our planet is in the best of health, however.
I heard a guy on the radio talking about this. He said that birds and fish tune into the Earth's magnetic field in order to navigate. If there is a major disturbance in the magnetic field they can become disorientated and extremely distressed. Maybe something has happened that would not affect us, but does affect creatures like these?
That makes a lot of sense. Not sure why but it does.
I'm sure I read somewhere that solar flares affect the earth's magnetic field. Maybe that's the reason for it.
This has happened many times before and it is nothing usual. The birds and fishes simply died from stressful situation in their respective environments.
I am a seer, and not only do I know that an apocalypse (revealing) is fast approaching; but I also know that the shit will hit the fan such as has never happened upon the earth before. Watch, I anticipate the US economy to collapse this year, or next at the very latest. With this the whole world economy will collapse, bringing in a new economic order that will fail. Natural disasters will be unprecidented, there will be no logical explaination, except, this is God's doing. Wars have already killed more people this CENTURY than in all of previous recorded history combined! And. . .we are just getting started. It is written that at least 1/3 of the earth's population will be destroyed. Then humanity will finally learn to live in harmony with one another in a new and golden halcyon dawn. ORDO ab CHAO.
So US economy falls? How does that affect countries that don't place much emphasis on economy? Why do natural disasters not have a logical explanation? Mother nature needs to balance herself, is that not logical? The imbalance our man made intrusions have caused have forced her to fight back. There is ecological balance when this occurs.
There will still be 2/3 left if you subscribe to that. Humanity haven't learned so far what makes you think it will be different now?
Well. there is a planned economic collapse and re-structuring of the world economy. And, if you don't understand the domino effect the collapse of the US economy would have on the world, I'm not sure I can explain this without waisting the whole night. First of all, Americans are the biggest consumers in the world. Much of the world depends on the US being prosperous and buying their junk. When the US economy collapses, the economies of Mexico and Canada would soon ensue. Much of Europe is broke already, except Germany. Ireland is nearly bankrupt; of the European Union Greece is bankrupt; England is in about as much debt per capita as the US. All of these countries would collapse, at the devestation of the US economy; then these failed economies would lend to other collapses. Any thinking person should see this. My ex has a bumper sticker that says: "Denial is not a River in Egypt" - you'll see that I am right. I have inside information. You had better buy a gun, start stockpiling food, and pull your heads out of the sand. . .trust me, the storm is coming.
Here there are more people who are not governed by money or the economy. It will be the people who know how to live off the land and share that will assist those who don't. I don't profess to know US life but I do know where I am from you do not need a gun or to hoard food. Unless you are on drugs and want to sustain this lifestyle. If there was no money tomorrow the heart of people here is in sharing what they know and giving what they can. We would then have to revert back to the old ways of living.
That is being in tune with nature. She provides even if one thinks she doesn't.
You're very lucky to be in NZ where nature is all around you, and there is space enough, and land enough to flourish and thrive without all the tons of plastic that many people set so much store by. Like Joshua Kell, I do believe a storm is brewing, but some of us will weather it better than others.
Your in NZ? Where? My hubby and I want to move to Christchurch if we can get approved. He has a masters so if he can get a job offer I think we could get accepted
Have you been Kirstenblog? Such a beautiful country. I had a brilliant couple of weeks in the North Island a few years ago. I'd love to go back.
I have not but it has everything I love, lots of wild spaces, loads of outdoor stuff do do, rock climbing, mountaineering, and the like. I hear they make some amazing foods from mutton (grown sheep, instead of lamb), like mutton burgers that are very tasty. I do like the idea of trying mutton burgers yum
Definitely more wide open spaces, and much to do. They do have mutton that has more substance. The meat is a lot sweeter than lamb or beef. A lot more tender too if you cook it right.
Certainly was. We went to Rotorua. That was fun, if a little smelly! Also visited the Bay of Islands, Hamilton, Auckland, Wellington, Paraparaumu etc., though not necessarily in that order! We totally loved it.
Yes. Auckland. Born and bred though in Rotorua. South Island is where Christchurch is. Its experienced many earthquakes lately and is still in recovery mode. Might take about 3 years if no more earthquakes occur. It is an awesome place to live because you are surrounded by the most beautiful expressions of Mother Nature you could imagine. That is beyond the city however.
As to stockpiling drugs, I would definitely make sure I had some Potassium Iodide and good anti-biotics - maybe some tamiflu - pain killers will be like gold.
Planned by whom, Joshua? The BRIC countries have a great deal to lose if America and Europe collapse. There is a host/parasite relationship going on. If the West completely fails economically, then China etc will suffer too. All those factories making goods for sale in the West need customers. It's not in their interest to let it happen.
Hello Amanda, The BRIC countries (Brazil / Russia / India / China - and friends) scare the hell out of me, and would have nothing to lose by nuking us, if our economies collapse. China already owns a massive portion of America. I remember reading of an interview with the President of China, where he said that they saw war with the United States as iminent, before the year 2026. That would be grand, a world order led by China; the fact that they are polluting the world more than anyone, and that they have 26% of the worlds population and only 7% of its drinking water, says that they will certainly have to expand their Empire. We have lots of water here in Washington State - I hear they have alot in New Zealand also. You can't live without water. These people are actually harvesting human organs from Christian and Fulon Gong practitioners (healthy organs from clean living) and political prisoners. You can go to China and buy a new liver for a quarter million bucks. No waiting for a natural doner, this meat is cut to order. If China and her cohorts nuked us, it would be from nuclear subs, and we will not strike back.
The European Union and the US need a new economy just to withstand dominence by the BRIC countries. It may be the BRIC countries that comprise the dominating new order, I hope not, I would rather be persicuted by other Europeans and Americans, than from folks with peculiar habits that I don't understand. I'm not being partial here - well yess...I am. Its just the whole Islamist hacking off of the heads, and the anti-Christian gouls of Red Communism, harvesting the organs of political and religious dissidents; it just gives me the creeps. Not to mention the lovely acts of torture and Satanic blood letting that so many of these people enjoy.
Imagine how hot China will be when the US economy collapses, with us owing them almost our whole country (silly people). On top of that, our inability to buy their goods, and sell them ours (food), will cause huge problems for everyone on earth. As they're sitting over there with no food or water for their rioting subjects, with us screwing stuff up for their total control of the world, I think it would be very tempting to dissable the US under these conditions. Especially in a time of intense domestic and international weakness.
Then we have a weak President over here thats in on it, I feel. There is no way that they are not pushing us into a new mold intentionally. There is no way that the heads running things around here are so stupid, as to think they can keep giving away the farm and destroying the economy without the inevitible collapse of our economic infrastructure - and then society. Well nice talking with you. ORDO AB CHAO (Order out of Chaos). Peace!
Could 2012 really be the dawn of a new era.
Some interesting points here.
We have just recorded our highest rainfall ever with floods reaching the gutters of homes. Never happened before in the upper-lying areas.
I heard that the UK also recorded its coldest ever weather over the festive season.
And everyone thought Al Gore was nuts when he preached global warming.
Somethings going on, that's for sure.
So wait, are we saying that the world will end in 2012 or not? Basically, will I need to get a new passport in 2013 or not?!?!
Haha it might end as we know it but might not necessarily mean it will cease to exist full stop. Some believe it will. Some don't.
Everything has its up side, if the whole things comes falling down then I don't need to worry about my passport
If the world doesn't end well that is the up side
