Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 895173
Ruby 126.96.36.1992 is causing segfaults
Last modified: 2013-02-21 00:47:28 EST
Description of problem:
I'm seeing segfaults ever since updating from Ruby 18.104.22.1687 to 184.108.40.2062. I've found numerous reports on the web indicating that 184.108.40.2062 has issues (https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/827, https://gist.github.com/4433870, https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/1435, etc.). It looks like it got fixed around 2013-01-08 (see https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7629#change-35286), but I suspect the fix didn't make it into the recently released Fedora packages.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. See https://gist.github.com/4433870 (assumes you have Rails installed).
Actual results:
Pages of seg fault dump information.
Expected results:
Not to crash!
Additional info:
I'm trying to figure out how to get back to 220.127.116.117. I can downgrade to 22.214.171.124, but that version has security issues. There were no security issues addressed in 188.8.131.522, so I should be safe on 184.108.40.2067, but it doesn't appear to be on the update servers anymore.
Would you attach the exact backtrace to verify the issue you see and check if the commit in ruby CVS actually fixes your issue?
Created attachment 678452 [details]
Dump generated by running segfault.rb
This is the output from running segfault.rb from https://gist.github.com/4433870 using https://gist.github.com/4433870.
I'm not running RVM, so I can't be 100% certain the commit in ruby CVS will fix the issue. I can report that switching back to 22.214.171.124 does resolve the issue.
In addition, the backtrace I just submitted bears a lot of similarity to the one posted at https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7669 (this is considered to be a duplicate of the main issue thread at https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7629). The first four entries in the control frame information match as far as line numbers go. The reporter on this thread indicates that 1.9.3-dev does resolve the issue.

ruby-220.127.116.112-25.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18.
Thank you for information. I think the coming -25 should fix this issue. Please try it.
I've been watching https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ruby-184.108.40.2062-25.fc17 waiting for it to say "This update has been pushed to testing". As soon as I notice that it's on the testing repository, I'll test and provide feedback.
It seems pushing -25 into testing repo are taking time...
If you want to try -25 now, you can visit
and download rpms manually.
Installing the rpms manually from kojipkgs appears to work.
I updated from 22.214.171.124 to 22.214.171.1242-24 and verified that segfault was still present. I then updated to 220.127.116.112-25 (ruby-184.108.40.2062-25.fc17.x86_64.rpm, ruby-devel-184.108.40.2062-25.fc17.x86_64.rpm, ruby-irb-184.108.40.2062-25.fc17.noarch.rpm, ruby-libs-188.8.131.522-25.fc17.x86_64.rpm, rubygem-bigdecimal-1.1.0-25.fc17.x86_64.rpm, rubygem-io-console-0.3-25.fc17.x86_64.rpm, rubygem-rake-0.9.2.2-25.fc17.noarch.rpm) and verified that I couldn't get the segfaults to trigger any more (I did multiple test runs).
Thanks for the fix!
Package ruby-184.108.40.2062-25.fc17:
* should fix your issue,
* was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository,
* should be available at your local mirror within two days.
Update it with:
# su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing ruby-22.214.171.1242-25.fc17'
as soon as you are able to.
Please go to the following url:
then log in and leave karma (feedback).
I waited for the repository to update and then downgraded and re-upgraded from the repository and verified that the packages on the repository resolve the segfaults. I just left karma feedback. Thanks once again!
1.9.3 p374 was released, mainly to fix segfault lots of people are seeing on p362. I will submit -27 as update.

Basic M1 Description
Identifying which CP is active
A small flashing black bar in the lower corner of the active Motorola CP card LCD display indicates the active CP card. This indicator however is often hard to see from across the room. As long as the CNI cards are properly enabled, the CNI cards on the active side have their ENL/DIS faceplate lamps out. The CNI cards on the inactive side have their ENL/DIS lamps on. The only time the CNI lamp indicators will be unreliable for indicating the active CPU is when there is a CNI fault. At that time, the technician must look at the CP card LCD display.
Maintenance Displays
The LCD display on each CP card is known as the Maintenance Display. It will display the last trouble that was seen by that CP. The device or fault is indicated in both HEX and text. Refer to the System Messages guide, HEX for complete descriptions of the faults. When the indicated fault has been repaired, a technician using the TTY must still clear the display. If the display is not cleared, future technicians may be confused by the "old" display.
The LED display on the IOP, IOP/CMDU and IODU/C is deciphered by looking in the System Messages guide, at the end of HEX. All three cards are listed on HEX as I/O Processor (IOP) card displays.
The IPE Controller LED display descriptions can be found by looking in the System Messages guide, at the beginning of HEX.
Meridian 1 Memory Description
Memory is the medium that the Central Processing Unit [CPU] uses to store and use information. There are two types of memory: Read Only Memory [ROM] and Random Access Memory [RAM].
ROM holds the base instructions for the CPU and is used primarily during a System reload. Information is not lost when power is removed. Traditionally, ROM was "burnt in" from the factory; hard coded and unchangeable. The technician had to replace the CPU or a daughterboard to change or upgrade the ROM. The Motorola and Pentium based CPUs use Flash ROM, which allows the technician to change or update the ROM via software during upgrades.
RAM is the medium that holds all the information that the CPU uses during normal call processing. All information in RAM is lost when power is removed. RAM is partitioned, or broken into separate blocks for different types of information. Similar to the directory structure on a Personal Computer hard drive. There are three primary partitions that the typical technician needs to know about. They are Program Store [PSTORE], Protected Data [PDATA] and Unprotected Data [UDATA].
PSTORE holds all of the factory provided software, which is the operating system and application programs. This includes the software for call processing and all the Overlays.
PDATA holds the data that the technician enters through the TTY (Customer Database) and the History Log. This data is copied to both hard drives and active floppy during a data dump (program save). It is called "protected" because during an Initialization (discussed later) it is retained.
UDATA is the system scratch pad. It holds the CPU's temporary data. This data includes all reports such as CDR, Traffic, and ACD statistics, transient call processing data, and the Call Registers. This data is never copied to the disk drives. It is called "unprotected" because it is cleared or deleted during an initialization.
Think of the UDATA partition as a bulletin board. As the CPU receives data, such as a phone coming off hook, it makes a note on a "yellow sticky note" and puts it on the board. As the phone enters digits, the CPU takes down the note and adds the additional data and compares it to the dialing plan. If there is not a digit match, the CPU puts the note back on the board. If there is a digit match, the CPU routes the call accordingly. When a call is connected, The CPU creates a Call Register. The Call Register is a record of all the connection data and call statistics, which consist of a list of all the hardware used for the call, time, date, and any digits dialed. This call register data is used to compile the various reports and call traces after the call is disconnected.
Sysloads and Initialization
A Sysload is a complete load or reload of the system RAM. It is called "booting up" on a personal computer. When the system is powered up, the CPU goes to ROM. The ROM tells the CPU to test its self and then test its memory. The CPU is then told to identify all the disk drives, find a file called Sysload and follow it's instructions. At that point, the system memory is loaded with the operating system, the application software and finally the Customer Database. A report is then printed to the TTY screen. Immediately after the Sysload, the peripheral software is downloaded to all the telephones and IPE equipment. As soon as the download is complete, the system initializes.
When the system is initialized [INI], all UDATA is deleted. Remember it is "unprotected" from an INI. The system goes out and enables all devices that are in the customer database "inventory". The CPU then polls all of the network cards for any calls that are connected and creates a new set of call registers. Any devices that did not enable are listed in an INI report that is printed out on the TTY screen.
An INI does not drop connected calls, only transient calls. Transient calls include calls that have not yet been connected, calls on hold and call park. Systems before software release 23 also dropped calls in all ACD queues. Release 23 introduced a feature that keeps the first 1000 calls holding in any ACD queue. All report data is lost so any reports that run after an INI are not accurate for that particular reporting period.
Assuming there are no faults in the system, every Sysload includes an INI, but you can INI without a Sysload.
Data Dump
When a technician enters data into the system via the TTY, the data is only written to PDATA. A Data Dump copies the customer database from PDATA to both hard drives and from the active hard drive to the active floppy drive. Data Dumps may be compared to a "Save" when writing a document on a PC word processing program. Data Dumps must be preformed on a regular basis. It is performed manually by the technician and automatically during the daily routines, typically scheduled for midnight, thus the nickname "midnight routine". Technicians perform Data dumps from Overlay 43 using the EDD command.
The IGS Inside / Outside rule
- Change 1 to I for In-side.
- Change 0 to O for Out-side.
When figuring the IGS card slot name on the Network or Core/Net shelves, compare the two IGS card slots to the 3PE card. IGS card slot 0 is farther away (on the outside) when compared to the 3PE card, while IGS card 1 is closer to (on the inside) when compared to the 3PE card. The 3PE cards, of course have nothing to do with the IGS cards. They are, however a good "land mark" for identifying IGS slot 0 and 1. The IGS cards on a network shelf are to the right of the 3PE card. The Core/Network shelves have the 3PE card on the left side of the IGS cards. The fact that the two shelves have cards in different places does not mater because the inside / outside rule still applies.
This rule can also be applied when cabling the Junctor board in the Intergroup Module (IGM). The two Clock Controller cables in the center split the Junctor board in half. CC 0 is on the left side and designates all the connectors for shelf 0 of each Network group. CC1 is on the right side and designates all the connectors for shelf 1 of each Network group. The outside vertical columns of connectors on each side are for the cables from the 0 cards (0 for outside). The inside columns are for the cables from the 1 cards (1 for inside). Each horizontal row, all the way across, are for the cables from each group. The bottom row is for group 0, the next row up for group 1 and so on.
The 3 Port Extender Concepts
The QPC441, 3-Port Extender is a major part of Meridian 1 Option 51, 61, 71, 51C, 61C 81 and 81C systems. Understanding the concepts of how it works will help the technician to better understand the system Architecture.
The 3PE extends the CPU signals to and from the network shelf. By doing this, it also isolates the network shelf from the active CPU in case of a network shelf fault. The card also identifies the network group and shelf to the CPU, by way of dipswitches. Network shelf 0 of each group is always connected to CPU 0. Shelf 1 of each group is always connected to CPU 1. Identifying the network group and shelf also addresses the Per Sig and loops on that shelf.
Figure 1 shows a conceptual view of a network group and two 3PE cards. Think of the 3PE as a pipefitting. It allows signaling to flow to and from the active CPU. When the CPUs swap, the flow reverses direction. This figure shows CPU 0 as the active CPU.
Figure 1
The 3 Port Extender Concept
Port 1 handles signaling to and from the CPU CE bus by way of the CNI card. The CE Bus is the 24-Bit bus that runs across the old Omega CPU shelf. This bus allows the CPU cards to communicate with each other across the CPU shelf. The Core CPU systems have a 32-bit bus called the IPB (Inter Processor Bus). The CNI cards interface this 32-bit IPB with the 3PE. They convert the 32-bit IPB signals on the Core shelf to a 24-bit signal so that the 3PE can recognize it. The 3PE was designed to ŇseeÓ a 24-bit bus.
Port 2 handles signals to and from the Control Bus on the network shelf where 3PE resides. The Control Bus is an extended version of the CE bus on the network shelf. This is where the CPU communicates with the cards on the Network shelf (primarily the Per Sig).
Port 3 handles signals to and from the other network shelf Control Bus.
All three busses, IPB, CE and Control are the same and handle the same signaling traffic. They are called different names because they are different bit rates or locations.
The SBE cards in the Omega CPU systems (Option 71) along with the 3PEs are known as "Extender pairs" and are maintained as one unit using the EXT Commands in Load 35. The 3PE and the CNI cards in the Core systems, as one unit, are maintained in Load 135 using the CNI commands.
Table 1 shows how the 3PE interfaces with the different shelf types. Notice how each configuration uses all 3 ports, but the actual connection to the 3PE is different. Dipswitches address the 3PE. Be sure that the switch settings are set for the correct network group, shelf and shelf type.

Lately I've been thinking about "mind killing politics". I have come to the conclusion that this phenomenon is pretty much present to some degree in any kind of human communication where being wrong means you or your side lose status.
It is incorrect to assume that this bias can only occurs when the topic involves government, religion, liberalism/conservatism or any other "political" topics. Communicating with someone who has a different opinion than you is sufficient for the "mind killing politics" bias to start creeping in.
The pressure to commit "mind killing politics" type biases is proportional to how much status one or one's side has to lose for being wrong in any given disagreement. This doesn't mean the bias can't be mixed or combined with other biases.
I've also noticed six factors that can increase or decrease the pressure to be biased.
1)If you are talking to your friends or people close to you that you trust then the pressure to be right will be reduced because they are less likely to subtract status from you for being wrong. Talking to strangers will increase it.
2)Having an audience will increase the pressure to be right. That's because the loss of status for being wrong is multiplied by the number of people that see you lose(each weighted for how important it is for them to consider you as having a high status).
3)If someone is considered an 'expert', the pressure to be right will be enormous. Thats because experts have special status for being knowledgeable about a topic and getting answers about it right. Every mistake is seen as reducing that expertise and proportionatly reducing the status of the expert. Being wrong to someone considered a non expert is even more painful then being wrong to an expert.
4)It is very hard psychologically to disagree with authority figures or the group consensus. Therefore "mind killing politics" biases will be replaced by other biases when there is disagreement with authority figure or the group consensus but will be amplified against those considered outside the social group.
5)People will easily spot "mind killing politics" biases in the enemy side but will deny, not notice or rationalize the same biases in themselves.
6)And finally, "mind killing politics" biases can lead to agitation(ei. triggering of the fight or flight response) which will amplify biased thinking.

Saint Robert, MO (PressExposure) March 04, 2009 -- Sharon Boggs, a certified LifeSuccess Consultant and business partner of Bob Proctor from The Secret, has announced her new affiliation with internet marketing powerhouse CarbonCopyPRO. "I want to achieve financial freedom," said Boggs. "I am extremely impressed with the leadership in the organization and their dedication to serving others. The training and services offered to clients is unsurpassed."
A former naval officer and civilian federal employee, Boggs has traveled the world in her 21 years of government service. She has also explored the four corners of the earth on her own as well. "On my first trip to China in 2000 I met someone on the tour who taught me that despite my being single, I could adopt deserving child and give her a forever family," said Boggs. "Four months later, I submitted my application to adopt an infant girl from China. And then, almost two years later, my daughter, Jenna, was in my arms."
Boggs conducts training sessions and seminars on how to achieve ultimate results in all areas of life, including financial, intellectual, physical, relational, and spiritual. She also does individual and group coaching and consulting. An experienced network marketer, Boggs offers a proven, concrete plan of action for individuals to achieve the financial results they want to have.
According to Boggs, people are looking for ways to improve their overall quality of life. Said Boggs, "Although financial freedom is the obvious initial answer, a more meaningful answer for me is the sense of personal freedom it allows. I can work when I want and I can go on holiday when I want. Also, entrepreneurs get to work with people, not for them."
CarbonCopyPRO is the marketing arm of WMI, and was founded by internet marketing legend and dynamically successful online entrepreneur Jay Kubassek to automate the lead generation process for WMI consultants. The firm handles back office tasks such as website development and management, copywriting and content development, publicity and public relations, as well as call center operations, thereby freeing the consultant to focus on other, higher value activities such as building relationships and closing sales. The resulting stream of high quality, qualified leads helps WMI consultants to jump start their business and to realize explosive growth over time.

Top California Democrat invested in Multiple Russian Energy Firms
California liberals are some of the most hypocritical people on the planet. While the CLM (Crooked Liberal Media) continues their phony Trump-Russia narrative month after month without yielding any conclusive results at all, one major Democrat leading the witch hunt just released some incriminating evidence against himself.
California Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff, one of the biggest Anti-Trump , phony conspiracy promoters was just forced to reveal that he has invested $16,000, or more, in a Russian firm.
A closer look at the files reveal that Adam's has investments in dozens of Russian energy companies. Gazprom, one such company he towns part of is also owned by the Russian government. In fact, the Russian government owns one half of Gazprom.
This is the same hypocritical jerk heading up the witch hunt against our president. In 2014 Schiff was calling on sanction (see below) on Russia energy, this coming after Hillary Clinton helped sell 20% of the United States' uranium to Russia in exchange for a $100 million + donation to the Clinton Foundation. Schiff was calling for sanctions, yet he was also purchasing stock in Russian energy companies when their stock was down low.
customisable-border" dir="ltr" data-scribe="component:card" data-card-name="player" data-publisher-id="10228272″>
According to gotnews.com:
Interestingly, according to a review of the iShares' ETF's mid-2016 portfolio, Schiff seems to have held stakes in a dozen Russian energy firms. The emerging-markets ETF was particularly weighted toward Gazprom, of which the Russian government itself owns half. Gazprom produces almost all of Russia's natural gas.
As far as we know, President Trump has no financial ties to the Russian government. Maybe Rep. Schiff should investigate his own "capitulation" to the country he says is "assaulting public officials."

'There was a lot of naked people' Posh students bare all in charity calendar
STUNNING students at Cambridge University got naked in the name of charity for a posh but raunchy calendar.
Members of the university's sports teams, including swimming, hockey and football, posed starkers around the city.
Some of the posh snaps show undergraduates playing polo in the buff and doing naked handstands in the meadows.
Tennis rackets, boxing gloves and fencing helmets were placed strategically to keep it clean.
Fourth year student Rowenna McGill, 21, who organised the calendar, said everyone enjoyed stripping off.
"It was a lot of fun to do, getting a lot of naked people together in one place was always going to be hilarious"Rowenna McGill
She said: "It was a lot of fun to do, getting a lot of naked people together in one place was always going to be hilarious.
"All the boys seemed happy to just strip off and I found myself asking them to put their clothes back on.
"Some of the lads even starved themselves for 24 hours to get better bodies for the photos.
"I have a lot of respect for the girls who took part, they took it all in their stride and I think they look amazing."
The sexy photos were shot around Cambridge at locations such as the Botanic Gardens, Fitzwilliam Museum and the historic Union Chamber.
Rowenna, a geology student from Homerton, added that it was not easy to get the pics done without surprising passers-by with their bare flesh.
She: "It took about one-and-a-half years to put the calendar together so it has been hard work.
"We tried to make sure we closed the colleges when we were taking the photos to avoid people walking in on a lot of naked people."
The hot calendar, which costs £10, is raising money for dementia charity Lewy Body Society and Help Refugees.

In this modern world, we are Facebook Friends and while we both exist in the flesh and blood on our respective coasts, we are ghosts of ether and wire to one another as are millions and billions of others where relationships are defined by mouseclicks, lol's and idk's.
You would not be surprised I know to learn I have few flesh and blood friends and not many more as facebook friends, so her invitation was a challenge and a riddle. It remains so as I've benefited from our acquaintance far more than she.
And to close the ledger on friends and their number, I have little doubt I'll have fewer still in the hereafter though I have the sinking suspicion none of us will need to dress warmly for where we're going.
She will be a very famous writer someday, sooner rather than later, because she is already an amazingly brilliant writer now, wielding words like too many use weapons, seeking not to hurt but to heal some of which vexes her and so many others around her.
"We win at making better mistakes" is a sentence from the short story whose link I shared that, to me, reads as an admission, an accusation and perhaps a defiant celebration. I don't know what to say or do when I read it, and that may be her intent or her fear.
But is not of she I sing, at least not today (and no, I'm not actually singing) but rather of someone, Tony Hoagland, whose work (actually a poem of his, Jet) she shared with me a few days ago and to which I return on a regular basis, drawn if not intoxicated by its command of language both thrilling me as a reader and chilling me as a scribe who sits here and types this, striving to be someone Hoagland has long ago become.
I've decided some things don't need to be understood, they just are and if I appreciate them for that, I can gain a moment of clarity and perhaps a respite from a world of noise and whirled noise pretending to be so many other things they can never achieve.

How To Stage Your Home For Sale
Just what is home staging and how can it help you sell your home? Staging is a process of cleaning, organizing, rearranging, updating, and preparing your home for sale. By properly "staging" your home you can increase the perceived value of your home and make a great first impression.
Pay special attention to the exterior of your home, particularly the front. The first impression your home makes on prospective buyers will color their opinions of the rest of your home. Clean out your gutters and put away clutter. Simple steps you can do on the inside of your home include:
- Clear all unnecessary objects from furniture throughout the house. Keep decorative objects on the furniture restricted to groups of 1, 3, or 5 items.
- Clear all unnecessary objects from the kitchen countertops. If it hasn't been used for three months… put it away! Clear refrigerator fronts of messages, pictures, etc. (A sparse kitchen helps the buyer mentally move their own things into your kitchen.)
- In the bathroom, remove any unnecessary items from countertops, tubs, shower stalls and commode tops. Keep only your most needed cosmetics, brushes, perfumes etc.., in one small group on the counter. Coordinate towels to one or two colors only.
- Rearrange or remove some of the furniture if necessary. As owners, many times we have too much furniture in a room. This is wonderful for our own personal enjoyment, but when it comes to selling, we need to thin out as much as possible to make rooms appear larger.
- Take down, or rearrange certain pictures or objects on walls. Patch and paint if necessary.
- Review the house inside room by room, and
- Paint any room needing paint.
- Clean carpets, drapes and windows.
- Make necessary repairs.
- If you need room to store extra possessions use the garage or rent a storage unit.
- Leave on certain lights during the day and open your drapes. During "showings" turn on all lights and lamps.
- Have stereo FM on during the day for all viewings.
- Pile an attractive bowl with fresh fruit on the kitchen island.
- Display a vase of fresh (very fresh) flowers in the entry hall.
At its most basic it may be as simple as performing some needed home repairs, repacking and removing unneeded items and accessories, and bringing in some fresh flowers and plants. In other cases it might be as complicated as repainting, re-carpeting, rearranging furniture, or replacing outdated light fixtures or window treatments.
But no matter how easy or complicated, the end result has only one goal: to show potential buyers the very best side of your home. After all, they'll be able to concentrate on picturing themselves in the home when they're not distracted by clutter, dirt, or home maintenance problems.
Then contact us and let's discuss how we can help you with your next project.

Nearly every type power generating system also has a method of storing energy. Such systems, when tied to an energy grid, can generally accept excess power and give it back as needed. Systems not tied to a grid, however, require battery banks, either for full operation or in the case of an outage. Typically, battery banks will be charged by the ...
While batteries come in a tremendous range of types and sizes, the primary (and most important) designation is their intended use: daily cycle service or standby service. This is precisely why car batteries shouldn't be used for renewable energy system storage.
Batteries categorized as deep cycle are specifically designed to repeatedly discharge up to 80% of their power capacity, making them the wise choice for "off grid" power systems. Deep cycle batteries can included sealed and flooded lead-acid types, as well as the more modern lithium-ion and sodium-ion types.
While these batteries are designed for deep cycling, most designs of this type will have a longer lifespan if used in shallower cycles.
Alternatively standby power batteries are preferred for grid-based systems with battery backups, as they are designed to supply power loads only occasionally. Built to supply large loads of energy in critical moments - like power outages - these batteries stay at full charge most of the time, and require very little energy to maintain such a charge.
Standby power batteries will have a limited lifespan when discharged frequently, but if kept in float conditions, can see significant longevity. Because of their low cost to produce, low rate of self-discharge, and lack of maintenance required, AGM batteries are the most typically used for standby power.
In the absence of renewable energy sources, or in cases of emergency, AC battery charges can be used with generators to charge batteries when other options are unavailable. High quality chargers are essential to maintaining battery health, and are recommended any time you plan to charge batteries from an engine generator.
Charges like the IOTA DLS feature current limit, thermal, and overload protection, and safeguard against low line voltage spikes from AC, as well as reverse-polarity and short circuits from DC. These chargers work efficiently and quickly at full rated output, then work to maintain battery health by using only the output necessary, reducing to milliamps as required.
As a DC supply, these types of chargers use very clean output power, and only supply the amounts required by the battery load. This means that when not in use, the charger is essentially turned off (which drastically minimizes electricity use).
Many charges will also provide a PFC (power factor correction) portion of their design for efficient energy draw, with a power factor above 0.9 (at full load) and operating efficiency higher than 80%. Many chargers can also be specially wired to increase voltage (in series) or amperage (in parallel), or in combination.
Battery Enclosures are designed to safely store deep cycle batteries commonly used in renewable energy systems. You can select the proper enclosure for the number and size of batteries in your specific project, and if needed, use multiple, side by side enclosures for larger battery banks.
Metal enclosures are listed for indoor use in Canada and the U.S. The Midnite Solar MNBE-A, MNBE-C, and MNBE-D are grey, powder-coated steel battery enclosures with locking MNBE-A doors. The MNBE-D3R and MNBE-8D2x2 are outdoor enclosures of white aluminum. Depending on which battery it is designed for, the MNBE-C comes with two, three, or four shelves. Additional shelves can be added to the MNBE-C and MNBE-D.
The Midnite Solar MNBE-8D2x2 DELUXE enclosure includes one 250 A breaker, two 12" 4/0 AWG cables, and one 36" 4/0 AWG cable for interconnecting batteries. There is also space for up to 4 MNDC breakers. The Midnite MNBE-8D2x2 enclosures can also be placed side-by-side or stacked two high. The MNBE-8D2x2 model enclosures hold two 8D or 4D batteries on each shelf; a total of four batteries per enclosure. The MNBE-8D2x2 BASIC has space for one 175 A or 250 A, and up to four MNDC breakers (not included).
QuickBox plastic battery enclosures are specifically designed for backup and off-grid power supplies, construction, heavy-duty marine use, etc. These enclosures can hold L16, 4D, 8D, GC2 and similar batteries in various end-to-end or side-by-side configurations. These plastic enclosures are acid resistant, and intended for indoor use only.
When an inverter is connected to a battery, low voltage systems can actually have a very high current through the cables, as seen with large AC load devices like microwaves and washing machines, which can cause a draw over over 100 A from an inverter on a 12 VDC battery. Even larger motors can draw 300 or 500 A upon startup.
If cables from battery bank to inverter are too small in these situations, the current becomes limited and can fail to supply the necessary energy. Also, the correct size cables will impose less resistance, which in turn maximizes efficiency.
Copper lugs made with tin plated copper tubing and ⅜" holes, crimped or soldered to stranded cable, is the most recommended type of cabling. Additionally, heat shrink tubing, which will melt and seal wires under heat to protect against corrosion and moisture, can be used to insulate lugs and compression terminals. This tubing is sold in 6" lengths.
Use battery cables made with flexible, stranded, UL-listed copper wire with 3/8" diameter lugs between battery bank and fuse, power center, or inverter. These cables can also be fitted with 5/16" lugs. The standard marking white heat shrink tubing on black wire for negative, and red heat shrink tubing for positive.

I'm going to do a post on the Clarence Reid material later, for now let's have a good last laugh in the weird, and so un-PC, world of Blowfly.
The Egyptian Lover is alive and kicking, doing DJ sets and producing tracks booming 808's like it's 1984. Freak this!
I like how in the background of this interview there's a Blade Runner 45, and a Birth Control comp. He also name drops Pretty Tony and Juan Atkins.
Both tracks from Trinere's 1986, eponymous debut, produced by electro/freestyle/bass master, Pretty Tony. A slept on club classic.
I Know You Love Me is clearly a party starter, with some nice lead guitar work.
Stay In Love With Me tones things down, and goes in sexy, slow burner mode.
Mr Robot kept up it's streak of fine musical selections by paying homage to the famous Risky Business subway scene, with it's own, sans sex, complete with Tangerine Dream.
Also, check out this Club Silencio remix, which adds just enough thump to get it across on a modern dancefloor.
Happy birthday, Yusuf. I, as many people, have a particular fondness for Cat's tender tracks that appeared in Harold & Maude, of which Trouble is my favorite. I would be remiss however, if I did not also post the underground electro classic that is, Was Dog A Doughnut.
An impressive haul, to say the least, though the hit to miss ratio is gonna be way more miss to hit, unquestionably. Even so, if only 20% is collectible, that's still close to 5,000, with a lot of potential for remix rarities, white label oddities and some high dollar rewards, in a variety of genres. Regardless, I wanna go through those boxes!
An Italo/Electro classic

1) If myself, my loved ones, or my friends are threatened with violence, I will use whatever means is available to protect them.
2) I will not shoot, to wound or kill, someone stealing my TV. To me it simply is not worth the legal issues that I would have to deal with in my state. We are NOT a Castle Doctrine state, force can only be used as necessasry to stop the threat. You see it would be damn hard to prove a physical threat if I shot a guy in the back as he headed out my door with my tv.
3) I am not saying i wouldn't confront the guy, with my gun in hand, tell him to put the tv down and get down on the floor. I won't shoot him if he does not comply.
Is that clear enough? It isn't about stupid, nonsensical "gentle rape" scenarios. It's not about not defending my family. It's about MY idea that property is not worth killing someone over. It is that simple.
Do as you wish. I most certainly will.

I called Nexus support and they are saying the apps must not be available for the AT&T version and to contact the developer. I'm wanting to confirm this here before I start emailing developers. My missing apps are: Rain Alarm Pro Beamreader PDF reader Password Keeper(this is the one I'm most worried about) Mobile Package Tracker I'm also missing a live wallpaper but I don't care about it, just the above apps. Can anyone search for these with a Nexus One ATT 3G and confirm they are missing for you as well? Thanks!!

It's no secret that some people out there do not know the difference between AER and APR as it applies to interest rates; if you are one of such people, then this article is for you.
The Difference
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is the annual interest rate payable on acquisition of loans, mortgages are those charges acquirable from the use of credit cards; whereas Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) is the rate of interest you will earn in for the amount held in saving accounts. Higher AERs provides more interest for you on your credit and works in the same way as overdrafts, just that it's the opposite.
Is it possible for the interest rate of a current account to change suddenly?
Interest rates on current accounts can be changed by the provider, as well as the Bank of England; but the provider is obliged to notify you on time before the new interest rates take effect.
How to identify good interest rates on current accounts
Is it ideal to compare current account interest rates?
Yes it is! Your overdraft can be reduced if you can carefully search for an account with lower interest rates charged on borrowing. It's also possible you get the best company around in order to get the best benefits on your account.

Exquisitely restored building. Superb, huge room with glimpse of sea from big balcony. Lovely breakfast. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Just don't buy the water - $4 for a $0.70 bottle! - no other hotel got close to that. Rating 4 out of 5 J.M. in February 2010


text: I have three Aero Storms. One has a small crack. I have been stringing it just fine, but I want to get the bumper and grommets replaced on it so I can prevent the crack from growing. However, I remember my friend trying to get a cracked racquet strung and they wouldn't do it. My crack is at eleven in the hoop. Do you think a pro shop would string it? I don't think they will, but what if I told them if it breaks I'll take responsibility and won't hold it against them?

After Utilities have been diverted the new Luas tracks can be constructed. The supporting structure for the tracks is built, new track laid and the surrounding roadway and footpaths reinstated.
Electrical power, signal controls and other systems are needed to operate Luas trams. The overhead cables will be erected and the myriad of electrical and mechanical systems put in place to ensure safe operation of the system.
As works are completed the extensive testing phase will begin. The focus will be on ensuring every aspect of the system is working to the highest safety standards prior to the service being put into operation. During this phase trams will start running on the extension but will not carry passengers as the system is under test. It is anticipated passengers will begin travelling on the new line during the latter half of 2017.

It would have been easy to blame the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. for all the flats that occurred last racing weekend at the Auto Club Speedway.
For most, however, the blowouts really were a positive testament to NASCAR's new focus on winning.
The sanctioning body said it was happy with the rubber compound used by Goodyear for the Auto Club 400. It was up to the teams to figure out how to keep them from coming apart.
Many teams went too far with aggressive setups and low tire pressures to gain an advantage. A lot of them lost the gamble.
Each race winner gets a golden ticket into the Chase for the Championship in the fall. That's why teams pushed past the edge with their strategies.
"By no means is this a problem for Goodyear," Kurt Busch said. "It's actually a thumbs up for NASCAR allowing the teams to get aggressive in all areas."
NASCAR relaxed many of its restrictions on front-end suspensions.
Teams are allowed to drop the front bumper area as low as they want. The risk they take is getting it so low it drags on the pavement.
Teams also are allowed to be creative with their alignments and air pressures. Most of the teams that had trouble had their left-side rear tires cambered to gain more traction in the turns. In simpler terms, the tires weren't square to the ground with the top bowed out more than the bottom.
Another way to gain speed was to drop air pressure. Goodyear suggested a minimum pressure of 22 psi. Some teams ran half that much.
And many had flats.
With victories becoming so important, the rewards now out-weigh the risks.
"You've made your bed before the race starts," Kurt Busch said.
Many argue it also puts success back in the hands of mechanics and drivers.
"I would think that if you're in this garage area you're paid to be aggressive and you'd want to take everything to the limit," said NASCAR vice president Robin Pemberton. "We know that winning is going to trump everything this year, and I think guys are more aggressive.''
Kyle Busch's team took a conservative approach with their setup. While Busch gave up a little bit of speed, he gained durability that led to a victory.
"You put 12 pounds in left sides and you're going 200 miles an hour in California, you might have a left side tire problem," said Busch's crew chief, Dave Rogers. "That's awful low."
There were a dozen blowouts in practice leading up to the main event. There also were at least 10 more flats during the race, including one for race leader Jimmie Johnson.
Others who had tire problems were: Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, Clint Bowyer, Brad Keselowski, Marcos Ambrose and two for Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
"As a driver you are left between the choice of driving your car to the limit and blowing a tire out or being a wuss and saving it," Keselowski said.
Although he was leading, Jeff Gordon said one of his tires was on the verge of coming apart at the end of the race. So he slowed down.
"We were having a tire issue there on that last long run and I just backed off," Gordon said. "When I saw the No. 48 [Johnson] had issues I was just hoping we would make it to the end and I was just going as slow as I possibly could trying to maintain the lead and cars were just blowing tires left and right all around me."
It certainly wasn't a typical follow-the-leader finish that's become all-too-familiar in the past couple years.
"I think the fans won," Kyle Busch said. "Holy cow, what do you expect when you get a green-white-checkered finish and everybody has to come down pit road for tires? That right there is a 'Days of Thunder' thing right there. There were two laps to go and everybody is going to pit. Unbelievable day."
More important, it may be an early signal that NASCAR's greater emphasis on winning has everyone pushing even harder to the edge — and beyond.

Realtor of the week: For Patton, customer-driven work is all in the family
Published 3:17 pm, Friday, August 7, 2015
With David Patton a Realtor with Heritage Texas Properties, real estate is all in the family - and a successful, award-winning family at that.
Patton's team, which started over 25 years ago, is The Grayson-Patton Team. It consists of his wife and his mother.
This multimillion-dollar producing team has continued to win numerous awards and honors.
Patton, the CEO of the team, has been a Realtor for close to 15 years, and graduated from Texas A&M University.
Today, he is a broker, the highest level of real estate licensing, with over 900 hours of education.
His wife, Summer Patton, has a background in marketing and residential title. She graduated from Texas A&M. Nancy Grayson, his mother, founder of the team, and a Realtor for over 25 years, has a master's degree from West Virginia University.
"We laugh that (our team) would be a good reality TV show. For Summer and I it has been an advantage working together because we understand the industry demands on our schedule. I could see where a spouse with a different career would find it hard to tolerate our schedule, with working weekends and holidays," Patton said.
Together their service includes representing sellers and buyers on luxury properties, horse properties, master-planned community homes, new construction, land and more.
In addition, they are trained in and successfully represent relocation listings and buyers.
"Most of us are going to buy or sell a home at some point. This transaction involves one of the most expensive assets we have. It is important for consumers to do their homework when hiring their Realtor by making sure they have a proven track record of success and will give your transaction the attention it deserves," Patton said.
Patton and his team may be a little unusual in that they are more customer driven than by a type of housing.
"Our sales on a Houston map looks like a heavily used dartboard with an emphasis on the northwest area up into Montgomery County. Our home base is the Texas 249 corridor, but we have built relationships in many areas," Patton said.
Patton's team has a long history in the real estate industry and of supporting the community by volunteering.
"Being involved in the community helps you to know your business and how to grow with the community's needs. The other key is making the client thrilled. It is so beneficial for us when a customer says they received a five-star experience with us, that is first and foremost for us and how we will stay successful for decades to come. You have to earn the five stars by staying at the forefront of marketing, photography, industry knowledge and customer service. This will lead to return business and referrals," Patton said.

There is an epidemic in America. An epidemic of delicate millennials flooding the campuses of America, fighting for . . . Well nothing other then their own personal glorification.
When one has no real cause to stand for, they become obsessed with others actions, and suppressing others. Thus, the snowflake is born.
Snowflakes are delicate creatures who, well, cant take the heat.
Snowflakes need special treatment to be sheltered from the real world, people with differing opinions. They need safe spaces.
"Friends in Safe Spaces" as sung by Steve "Mudflap" McGrew and Chad Prather is worth the viewing. Sung to the tune of the iconic Garth Brooks song, "Friends in Low Places" this song offers no safe spaces.
With awesome lines like:
"Blame it all on our roots, we never wore boots, and never once played in the street. And feel very bitter, get our news off off Twitter, and just cant handle defeat.
You saw the suprise, the fear in our eyes, when Donald became President
Screamed this cant be true, America's through, to the safe spaces we went.
I've got friends in safe spaces. If you don't go with us, then you must be racist" ….
Hear the song and seethe video below. It will make your day.
As snowflakes across America flex their social justice warrior muscles to save the world from "triggering" events like scales at the (gasp) gym, finally there is a song dedicated to their cause.
