Though this is a broader and bigger change, it original motivation derives from
HBASE-8751: the newly introduced per-peer tableCFs attribute should be treated the same way as the peer-state, which is a permanent sub-node under peer node but using permanent zk node is deemed as an incorrect practice. So let's refactor to eliminate the permanent zk node. And the HBASE-8751 can then align its newly introduced per-peer tableCFs attribute with this correct implementation theme.

Agreed, we should continue this over at HBASE-9864. Let me carry my writing there as well.
Enis Soztutar Over on HBASE-9864, there is something a little simpler that came of a chat w/ my man Matteo. I like the idea of doing the zk model but your short paragraph needs a bit of expansion so I understand better how you think it would work in our context. Thanks.
Honghua Feng stack Lars Hofhansl is that ok if I move it there as subtask?
Sounds good to me
Make Master arbiter for these new system tables – only the master can mod them – and then add a response on the heartbeat to update regionservers on last edit? Could be as simple as master just replying w/ timestamp of last edit.
We should do this as a part of (or using) HBASE-9864. I was thinking of something similar, where the data is kept in an hbase table as a snapshot + WAL. All transactions will have an trxid (NO timestamps please). All region servers open a session with a lease, and keep heartbeats to renew their lease. They send the last seen trxId, and the coordinator replies with the list of edits that they should apply to their in memory cache. If some reader looses it's leases, the coordinator (master) invalidates its session (so that there is an upper bound on the time the edits will be propogated). The coordinator keeps the last seen trxId per session, so that it can do recreate the snapshot and get rid of write ahead log entries.
However, astute readers might have noticed that this is indeed similar to zk's own protocol except that the data is not replicated via ZAB, but via datanode pipelines and hbase.
Honghua Feng stack Lars Hofhansl is that ok if I move it there as subtask?
Just thinking it may be good to have all jiras which are about "eliminating..something permanent in ZK" under the same umbrella.
I'm thinking if this jira kind of fits the umbrella of
a long-term item and need more discussion and thought, a bit related to HBASE-10296
Make Master arbiter for these new system tables – only the master can mod them – and then add a response on the heartbeat to update regionservers on last edit? Currently we return a void. See RegionServerReportResponse in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hbase/trunk/hbase-protocol/src/main/protobuf/RegionServerStatus.proto?view=markup Could be as simple as master just replying w/ timestamp of last edit. If RS has not seen the new edit, it goes and reads the table....
Another HBase internal system table (similar to meta table) is a good choice for storing replication zk node information, but lacking the zk's inherent watch/notification mechanism which is essential for the 'client change replication status(such as peer-state / add peer), regionservers listens and gets notification for such status and perform accordingly(such as disable a peer / add a new peer thread)' communication pattern...
No clear plan for now, but I'll spend some time these days to figure out a draft design for discussion and brainstorming first, any opinion/suggestion is welcome
And change the title of this jira to make it more general and match its intention better. santosh banerjee
Awesome. Do you have a plan? I.e. where should we put this state instead. Maybe an HBase table?
Let's target this to trunk only for now.

You might not normally associate commodity producers with dividends, given their cyclical nature. But that could change according to a report from Byron Berry, of Byron Capital Markets.
"With companies like Freeport McMoRan doubling dividends, we have heard market participants discussing the possibility of more dividend increases," he said in a note. "We would not normally look to cyclical for yield or dividend increases, but the combination of a powerful commodities bull run and a market starved for yield could create some opportunities."
He looked at 880 mining and metals companies listed in Canada, with a market capitalization of at least $10-million each. Of these, 46 have positive free cash flow but only 12 companies pay a quarterly dividend. The average yield is about 1 per cent.
However, 12 companies have free cash flow yields above 6 per cent. "We believe this level of FCF yield gives enough headroom for a healthy 3-4 per cent yield and a payout ratio of 40 per cent to 67 per cent," Mr. Berry said.
These companies include Equinox Minerals Ltd. , Inmet Mining Corp. , Russel Metals Inc. , Neo Material Technologies Inc. and Breakwater Resources Ltd. Follow Market Blog on Twitter: @marketblog

"Lack of dignity"
About: The Royal Victoria Infirmary The Royal Victoria Infirmary Newcastle Upon Tyne NE1 4LP
Posted via NHS Choices
My 83 year old mother was transferred from a ward at Durham to RVI on Sunday afternoon. We were initially told she would go straight to,ward and nurses at durham performed a handover by phone. At the last minute they apologised and said we were to go via A & E. Following a very speedy and efficient ambulance transfer we were handed over to the RVI. We were put into a cubicle and then the problems started. I advised the nurse that my mums drip was not running and had been told by Durham that this was ok for duration of transfer as long as restarted ASAP on arrival at RVI. In total I asked four separate staff over a three hour period to deal with this, no one ever did. In fact even when they struggled to get blood, due to dehydration, I was told, it still was not sorted out. My mum was moved out of cubicle into the corridor on a trolley, causing her distress. She was not alone and I counted three other distressed patients on trollies in corridor. There was an elderly lady, on her own, sat in a wheelchair in corridor for over an hour, a young woman on gas and air, surrounded by family, and another elderly lady who looked barely conscious. Eventually my mother was seen by the surgical team from ward 36 , they were excellent , and managed to get things moving. I fail to see, though, why my mother lay on a trolley in a busy unit. If this unit is under so much strain then admitting directly to the ward, as initially advised, would seem to be more efficient. She had emergency surgery to correct her problem and I cannot praise the surgical and nursing staff enough. However as a health care professional in another region, I feel that the working practices for admission from other hospitals to a regional centre should be reviewed.
Response from The Royal Victoria Infirmary 2 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to post your review on NHS Choices. We wish to apologise that your mother's transfer to the RVI was not to the standard we would expect. Please be assured that for any patient transfer from another hospital, the request for the patient be taken first to the Emergency Department would be determined by the patient's clinical need at the time. We would also wish to apologise that the nursing staff did not respond to your requests about your mother's drip. This is clearly not acceptable and has been discussed with the team to ensure that they respond to such requests in a timely manner. As your review is posted anonymously, we are unable to look into your concerns about your mother's care in the Emergency Department in further detail. If you would like us to do this, please do not hesitate to contact the Patient Relations Team on 0191 2231382. We acknowledge and thank you for your positive comments about the surgical and nursing staff who cared for your mother during and after her emergency surgery. Thank you for raising your concerns, please be assured that we take all feedback very seriously and are currently reviewing the clinical capacity available with the Emergency Department and also the patient pathways for those who are admitted from elsewhere. We hope that your mother is recovering well following her surgery.

Hi, There is a merchant in Linkshare called Cendant Hotel Group. The links for Cendant go to a site called "RoadTraveler.com". Road Traveler has links to all of the Cendant Hotels (except Wyndham).
Apparently, the company Cendant split up last year. They are now four companies. I am wondering which of the companies in the breakup acquired RoadTraveler.com? Is this part of the Travel Distribution company, or is it part of the hospitality company, or is it cling on the be closed in up coming months?

Hi yintercept,
Fairfield Resorts used to be part of the cendant group and we are now under Wyndham umbrella.
I did not know about the RoadTraveler.com till you mentioned it. Shame on me.
Anyway, after some research, apparently, they are under the wyndham umbrella too. They are in Linkshare but I have no contact over there as it is managed by linkshare.
here are some other articles that you can read up on.
Let me know if you need any help.Eric Ewe

Thanks for the info. I imagine that someone will need to change the name of the program some day.
Of course, changing the program name to Wyndham Hotel Group would be problematic as the program includes most of the properties in the Wyndham Hotel Group, except Wyndham Hotels. I assume that the absurd Linkshare non-compete clause prevents inclusion of Wyndham hotels in the program as they are also on performics.
Thanks again.

Andrew recently completed Mixed Emotions: Beyond Fear and Hatred in International Conflict, published by the University of Chicago Press. The book looks at emotions as powerful and creative forces in the politics of terrorism, ethnic conflict, and transitional justice. Approaching emotions as products of social interaction, the book investigates how on-the-ground events such as protests, speeches, and commemoration rituals evoke "circulations of affect" among co-participants. Drawing from neuroscience, the sociology of emotion, and cultural theory, Mixed Emotions makes an original contribution to key problems in IR theory--the changing location of collective agency, the volatile politics of identity, and the sources of justice and normative change.

Arsenal are reportedly waiting for Arsene Wenger to sign a new contract at the Emirates Stadium.
Wenger has been in charge of the London outfit since 1996, but his future with the Gunners continues to be called into question, with a section of the club's supporters putting pressure on the board to make a change.
As it stands, Wenger will be out of contract at the end of the current season, but according to talkSPORT, Arsenal have put a two-year extension on the table and are waiting for the 67-year-old to sign.
Arsenal have seen their challenge for the Premier League title take a hit in recent weeks, while the Gunners were thumped 5-1 at Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash on Wednesday night.
Wenger, who is said to be considering walking away this summer, has led Arsenal to three Premier League titles and six FA Cups since taking charge, but the club are without a league crown since the 2003-04 campaign.

Just to give you an idea, there is only one county in the area where I live. All of Reno, Sparks and the surrounding areas are all part of Washoe County, NV, which makes them all part of the Washoe County School District. I got approval to put the EDS posters up, the ones I spoke of in the last post, in any and all of the schools - elementary, middle and high schools!
I was going on vacation for most of May, so I had just a couple of days to complete this task, and all of this was done out-of-pocket, so I was only able to do what was within my means. In the elementary schools, I stuck the posters up in the office area or on the parents' bulletin board, in the middle schools I tried to stick them in the office or clinics, and in the high schools they went up in the halls and in the student relations offices. It was a lot of work, took funds that I normally use toward medical care, and wore me out/was hard on my body, but I am happy with what I was able to do. These are schools in the area I grew up in, which made it even more special. Anyway, I wanted to share! Happy EDS Awareness Month!!

Ugh. Although I think there's some good solid advice in there, the whole tone of that article really irks me. As someone who actually works with people with all types of personality disorders, addictions and mental problems every day, I find it a bit tiresome that someone would put together a guide that is essentially rephrasing over and over again "bad people are bad! Don't associate with bad people!".
Actually, if you want to preach about correct behaviour, why not just stick to your own? Know yourself, know your boundaries, and learn from your mistakes... "leeches" and "vampires" don't just come along one day and steal something from you...
you play an active part.
The person may be be struggling with a serious problem, but that is nobody's business but theirs. If you wind up in a relationship in which you tolerate bad behaviour from them, or even encourage it, then you are just as responsible, and it is up to you to remove yourself. If you don't, it's not because of the inherent badness of a "problem person" but because your interaction, your relationship, the thing that you produce
, is unhealthy.
Making an endless list with every second bullet point starting with "beware" actually seems unhealthy to me. Why categorize people into different groups according the harm you are terrified they might bring into your life? Why not a list on how to strengthen your own awareness of yourself and how you relate to others, and a little more compassion for people who are struggling...?

Actor Michael Massee has died at age 61.
The actor, who infamously shot and killed Brandon Lee in an on-set accident while filming the 1994 movie "The Crow", passed away on Tuesday, his agent confirmed. No details of his death have been released.
Massee was forever linked with "The Crow" and the death of Lee, son of famed martial arts expert Bruce Lee. The actor was playing the part of Funboy in the film when he fired an improperly prepared revolver loaded by crew-members at Lee. Believing the gun had been loaded with blanks, Massee fired the gun at Lee as scripted, but a live round was discharged, striking Lee in the stomach. Lee later died after several hours of surgery on March 31, 1993 at the age of 28.
RELATED: 'Game Of Thrones' Actor Jason Momoa In Talks To Star In Remake Of 'The Crow'
Traumatized by the accident, Massee took a break from acting for over a year.
He would later appear on TV as the mercenary Ira Gaines on "24", as a killer surgeon on "Rizzoli & Isles" and in roles on "The X-Files", "Alias", "Supernatural", "The Blacklist" and "Cold Case", among others. Massee also found work in film as The Gentleman in "The Amazing Spider-Man" and its sequel, and appeared in "Seven", "Amistad", "The Game" and "Catwoman".

Notter's office has been inundated with calls from veterinarians and horse owners around the country. By 2 p.m. Tuesday, the office had logged 70 calls. They kept streaming in until 11 p.m. Tuesday night, according to Rusty Ford, equine programs manager and assistant state veterinarian.
Concerns about reports of late term abortions and early fetal loss in Kentucky mares has caused only Florida to enact special restrictions on horses shipping in from the Blue Grass. Kentucky state veterinarian Dr. Don Notter said he has talked with every other state veterinarian office in the continental United States, and most have decided to wait for better information about what is causing the foal loss before taking action.Florida is requiring veterinarians in Kentucky to secure a special permit before allowing a horse onto a trailer. As of Thursday, 71 permits had been requested. The procedure is not overly restrictive. The Florida state veterinarian's office simply wants a clear record of where horses have been before shipping in."I applaud their action," said Notter, who was in Lexington Thursday evening for a special meeting at Keeneland regarding the foal loss syndrome. "Florida is just protecting their equine industry."Even if people are not shipping to Florida, Notter said he recommends they call the state veterinarian's office for their destination. He said it is important for state veterinarians to know what is coming into the state even if no special permit or restriction applies."And that situation could also change quickly," Notter said about special permits or restrictions.

Portillo Mountain Stats:
Total Lifts: 14 lifts for no more than 450 guests
There is never a lift line in Portillo. We limit the number of day tickets sold and with only 450 resort guests, it's always smooth sailing on the mountain.
The famous Va et Vient (French for 'come and go') lifts were built by the Poma company for Portillo's Roca Jack, Condor, Las Vizcachas and El Cara Cara runs. These runs are steep avalanche chutes, making the use of lift towers illogical. The Va et Vients are pulleys that are anchored to the mountain above which, by way of a specially designed attachment, pull 5 skiers up the mountain side by side at once. The Va et Vient lifts are recommended for expert skiers only and although they may seem intimidating at first are actually quite simple and fun once given a try.
Vertical drop:
Longest run: 1.5 miles

text: hi Guys, So I live in China and I bought my Desire here recently. The thing is, I think the android 2.1 that is running on it is dodgy. There is a goapk.com logo that comes up when I turn the phone on. When seems to be some chinese android community website. The phone is buggy. Sometimes the messages get stuck and continuously scroll to the top. Sometimes when I click messages the task bar appears or it opens the internet browser. Long story short, its pissing me off and I want to reinstall a European version of Android 2.2 on it. I did factory reset it and that didnt work. I also tried to update it to Android 2.2 but it says no new updates available? Does anyone know why this is? It seems to be running some kind of hacked version of Android 2.1 (probably the taiwanese or HK version, cos it has support for only traditional chinese, simplified chinese and English). Would anyone know how to go about this? Do I have to root it? and where would I get an offical ROM of a European version of Android 2.2? Any help here would be greatly appreciated Thanks a million, Aiwen

Santa Monica, California (PressExposure) June 05, 2013 -- Santa Monica based 'All In Films' announces the most awaited social drama of the decade "Hello Herman" directed by Michelle Danner for nationwide opening on 7th June, 2013.
Hello Herman the movie starring Norman Reedus from the Walking Dead & Boondocks Saints available in select theaters nationwide & Video on Demand reaching Million of fans on June 7th!!
TO DOWNLOAD THE MOVIE OR PRE- ORDER THE DVD OR BLUE RAY OR BUY THE POSTERS GO TO http://WWW.HELLOHERMANTHEMOVIE.COM
Hello Herman is a compelling drama faces issues of bullying and high school violence with a caring hand, exploring a phenomenon that continues to yield national tragedies.
"HELLO HERMAN is a powerful and important work, a darkly brilliant tone poem about America's tango with violence and fame. Herman will get under your skin. He may even follow you home. What is certain is you won't soon forget him." Sam Kushner
Hello Herman with a selected cities nationwide opening will also be simultaneous availability on View-on-Demand in over 100 million homes.
HELLO HERMAN is a story that depicts what happens when our children fall through the cracks of bullying.Set in the not so distant future, in Any Town USA, sixteen year old Herman Howards makes a fateful decision. He enters his suburban school and kills thirty nine students, two teachers, and a police officer. Just before his arrest he emails his idol, famous journalist Lax Morales, sending him clips of the shootings captured with Herman's own digital camera. In the clips Herman tells Lax, "I want to tell my story on your show". Lax, haunted by his own past, is now face to face with Herman. The movie explores why and how a massacre like this can happen in our society, desensitizing in America, youth violence and bullying, the impact the media has on our individual quest for fame, and ultimately our need for connection.
Hello Herman also featuring powerful performances from Norman Reedus( Boondock Saints & Walking) and Garrett Backstrom, and a fine ensemble cast (notably Danner herself as Herman's mother) "Hello Herman" paints a complex portrait of a school shooter and the external forces that are equally brutal to young people- bullying, neglect, and misunderstanding. This film is relevant and will likely add to the conversation about these trying times.
Commenting on the nationwide opening of Hello Herman on 7th June, Michelle Danner, Director, All in Films said" Hello Herman being a powerful drama stands out from he crowd as an infectiously thought provoking watch. This silver-screen delight deals with a troubled youth seeking a voice in an often- misinterpreted world. I am expecting that Hello Herman reached to each household and each individual and make a significant positive change for a better world. This movie definitely can save many innocent kids in USA and rest of the world."

Though it's yet to be confirmed, reports say that actor Vikram has given bulk dates (25 days) for the shooting of director Vijay's upcoming film Thandavam. The dates which Vikram has allotted for Thandavam were earlier meant for Karikalan which has run into some rough weather with its title being claimed by others as their own.
Vikram's decision to shift his focus from Karikalan has apparently made the film's producer a crest-fallen man. The pity is that the elaborate arrangements the producer had made for the shooting schedule has gone down the drain. As reported earlier, Karikalan is a period type film which obviously costs lot of money in the present dispensation. As such, several lakhs were reportedly spent on erecting huge sets for the film's shooting to take place in them.
Just when everything was ready for the shooting to commence, Vikram has gone off to shoot for Thandavam. Vikram is reportedly under the impression that it would be better if the producer settled the title dispute – an individual has claimed that the title was his – before talking about commencing the shoot. The producer is unable to convince though Karikalan is the name of a celebrated Tamil king and that no individual or organization can claim right to that name.
Rajasekar from Chennai's Porur has claimed that not only the title but also the script of Karikalan was his and has filed a case with the High Court of Chennai against the producer, director and Vikram. The producers duo of Parthiban and Vasan, however, say that they were ready to face the case in Court. "We had formally registered the title with the Producers' Council and only then started the shooting schedule.
"Even as we were busy with the work, we had to face this case by Rajasekar. As producers, it's our duty to take care of the legal issues arising out of everything related to the film. It's mischievous on the part of Rajasekar to involve actor Vikram's name in the matter. It might not only defame the actor but might even make him lose his peace of mind. We'd go ahead and solve it amicably," said the duo.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
My friend introduced me to Hetalia, and ever since then, I've never stopped loving it ^^ The moment I saw Japan, I knew I wanted to cosplay him. We're alike in so many ways it's scary.
I searched high and low for the right jacket pattern to use for Japan. Many jacket patterns with a Chinese collar have darts in them, which I didn't want for Japan since he's a guy. I eventually settled for one that had darts in the back on the shoulders. I also made the pants (which turned out shorter than I expected them to be 0_0) and added the gold detailing on the sleeves. I, again, used my real hair for this cosplay and used some nice black shoes that I had lying around to finish off the costume. The only thing I'm missing is a katana. If I can get one, I may re-shoot this costume.

As we know, talk of breed bans in Quebec and recent dog attacks have fed media fires over the last week. In our last blog post we explored how "pit bull attacks" are covered differently from attacks by other breeds, a phenomenon that many of us are familiar with.
Yesterday we were able to watch the progress of what seemed to be a manufactured "controversy" story across CBC media outlets. Read/listen for yourself and tell us what you think.
The morning of Monday, June 27, Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner joined Rick Cluff on the CBC Radio's Early Edition (interview at 1:41:08). When asked about her response to recent dog attacks in the city, she said that she didn't feel that bites were an "overriding problem". However, she did intend to talk to City Council at that night's meeting and recommend taking a closer look at the bylaw and convening an informed panel to see if it could be "strengthened and tightened". Perfectly reasonable, right?
Several times, Mr. Cluff directed the conversation to "is it the owner or the breed?" or "pit bulls have a bad reputation". Mayor Hepner gave balanced, reasonable answers each time, even though she indicated that she herself has mixed feelings about the breed (hey, that's her prerogative; kudos to her for not letting it interfere with responsible policy making).
In her interview, Mayor Hepner said that she's inclined to think that laws targeting owner behaviour will be more effective than breed-specific ones. She said that in the past, various breeds have been targeted and this changes with time. She said that if you start by banning pit bulls, another breed will become a problem and you'll have to keep adding to the list. She also noted that Ontario's ban hasn't been effective.
It was not a bad interview. Yet when it was written up for the website, this is the headline they used:
Surrey to consider pit bull ban after latest attack.
Wait….what? At no time did Hepner suggest that restrictions, let alone a ban, were being considered. While the article includes direct quotes from the interview, the overall message was that breed specific measures were on the table at that night's City Council meeting.
This concerned us, of course. We visited the City of Surrey website and found no mention of animal control matters on the agenda. We called the city councillor's office and were told that the dog matter was going to be a brief mention in a very full agenda.
Around 5pm, we received a call from CBC asking if we would be available for an in-person interview on the proposed breed restrictions and "concerns about recent pit bull attacks" in Surrey. We declined, as there was nothing, to our knowledge, to comment on. But we agreed to do a telephone interview following the Surrey Council meeting.
During the meeting, Mayor Hepner asked for Council's support in bringing together a committee of experts to review the current bylaw. The Council voted in support of this. There was no mention of breed. There was no discussion. That was the end of it. On to the next item in the agenda.
CBC did not call us for that telephone interview. If they had, we would have told them that consulting experts to create evidence-based, common-sense legislation was a GREAT idea. But apparently, that doesn't measure up as a news story.

ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland -- Laura Henderson, a senior on the Georgia women's golf team, carded a 76 Friday in the third and final round and finished second at the Canada Ladies Amateur Championship at Admiral Green's Golf Club.
Henderson posted successive rounds of 79 and 73 during the first two rounds of play and finished at 228, two shots behind champion Jan Dowling. Dowling used a closing 72 to claim the title. It marked the third consecutive year Henderson has finished as the tournament's runner-up.
The Canadian Am was the third of four events Henderson will compete in this summer. In June, she finished tied for fourth in medal round competition at the British Ladies Amateur before losing in the second round of match play. Last month, she won the Ontario Ladies Amateur by four strokes.
In addition, Henderson will represent Canada in the World Amateur Team Championships in Berlin, Germany from Aug. 23-26. She will then begin her senior season as a Lady Bulldog at the NCAA Fall Preview at Mission Inn Golf and Tennis Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla., on Sept. 14-17. Mission Inn will host the NCAA Championships next spring.
Henderson's strong summer continues her late-season surge during the 2000 collegiate season. She finished the campaign by tying for seventh individually at the NCAA Championships in May, which followed an eighth-place effort at the NCAA East Regional. All told, Henderson posted four top-10 and eight top-20 finishes during the 1999-2000 season.
In addition, Henderson was named first-team All-SEC for the second consecutive season this spring. She was a second-team All-SEC pick as a freshman in 1998 and is on pace to join Shauna Estes and Erin O'Neil as Georgia's only four-time all-conference selections in women's golf.

This is a short screencast to give you a quick overview of how Shortmarks will increase your speed on the web.
How to make Shortmarks your default search engineShortmarks works best when it's the default search engine in your web browser. Find your browser on this page and follow the instructions.
Add a site to Shortmarks
Add this bookmarklet to your browser: Add to Shortmarks
The bookmarklet automates the process of adding the site you're on to Shortmarks. To add the bookmarklet to Firefox, Chrome, Opera or IE 9, drag the link to the bookmarks bar. In Internet Explorer 8 and older, right click on the link and choose "Add to Favorites...".
You can also add sites manually using the same URLs you'd use with Mozilla's keyword searches. Simply edit your bookmarks and type or paste the direct link and or search URL (putting a %s where the search phrase should go). These sites have more search URLs you can use:
Once the bookmarklet is installed, browse to the site you want to add and click "Add to Shortmarks". This will get the title from the page and add the link as a direct link. To add the site as a search engine, search for SHORTMARKS (in all capitals) on the site you want to add, then click the bookmarklet on the results page.
To manually add search links, replace the search phrase in the URL of the search results page with %s. For example, to add DuckDuckGo to Shortmarks as a search engine, go to the site and perform a search. Searching for news results in the following URL in the address bar: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=news.
Replace news with %s to get http://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s, add that URL as the DuckDuckGo search link, add a keyword (ddg for example), title and direct link (http://duckduckgo.com), then save.
Now you can type the keyword (ddg) in your address bar to visit DuckDuckGo, and ddg followed by a search phrase (ddg weather) to go directly to the search results page.
Launch sites with a bookmarklet
The Shortmarks Bookmark Launcher bookmarklet: sbl
Instead of using the address or search bar, you can use the bookmarklet. It works like the Shortmarks search field or searching from within your browser, with one major feature: The SBL lets you launch bookmarklets.
Another way to launch bookmarklets in Google Chrome is to add the code below as a search engine (in the URL field), then use the keyword in the address bar. For example, if you add the search engine with a keyword of "sl" (Shortmarks launcher), you'd run the "noi" bookmarklet by typing "sl noi" in the address bar.

Bri-anne Swan, who went to high school in Orillia, will travel to Texas in November to witness her pen pal's execution
Submitted Moonstone, Ont., native Bri-anne Swan travelled to Texas earlier this year (2016) to meet with death-row inmate Ramiro Gonzales, who confessed to murdering an 18-year-old woman 15 years ago.
A former area resident has found an unconventional pen pal.
For the past two years, Bri-anne Swan has enjoyed a writing friendship with a death-row inmate jailed at a maximum-security prison in Texas who only recently avoided execution.
It all started when Swan was "very" pregnant with her second child and having trouble sleeping. The singer-songwriter started surfing the Internet and came upon a story regarding a recent stateside execution.
"I've always been opposed to the death penalty," said Swan, who grew up between Moonstone and Coldwater and attended high school in Orillia, graduating from Park Street Collegiate Institute in 2001.
From there, she visited a website for prisoners seeking pen pals. While many of the profile posts were from inmates seeking romantic relationships, Swan was taken by convicted murderer Ramiro Gonzales's plea to have someone to write to on a purely platonic basis.
"I talked to my husband about it and he was OK with it," said Swan, who now lives in the Toronto area with her husband, Jason Meyers, and their two sons, four-year-old Isaiah and two-year-old Simon.
Since that initial 2014 letter, the pair have struck up a friendship through regular correspondence that has been built through a "slow, organic, natural progression," with Swan even travelling to Texas earlier this year when Gonzales asked her to attend his execution, which was postponed to later this year.
"It wasn't a stay, it was a withdrawal, which means a change of date," Swan said, adding the withdrawal allowed her to meet with Gonzales for several hours during a visit to the Allan B. Polunsky Unit, where the state's estimated 300 death-row inmates reside.
Gonzales, who, like Swan, is 33, confessed to kidnapping, raping and murdering an 18-year-old woman in Texas in 2001. He was sentenced to death 10 years ago.
"He was six weeks past his 18th birthday," Swan said, adding she has read the entire court transcript relating to the crime and finds it difficult at times to reconcile Gonzales's past crimes with the gentle person, who creates wonderful drawings for her eldest son, he is now.
"The Ramiro I know is very kind and very sweet," she said. "He is a very spiritual person and an amazing artist. By his own admission, he is appalled by his own actions."
But since starting to write about the experience on her blog, Swan hasn't been immune from hateful comments, with someone named Sharon Ann Henderson telling her, "You are a disgusting person for supporting this murderous scumbag."
To which Swan replied: "I hope you and your family have a wonderful day!"
Another fellow called Phil Cofell told Swan she should introduce herself to the victim's family.
"I am sure they will be thrilled," he wrote. "I would have liked to have been pen-pals with her except your buddy raped her and shot her in the head. I hope no one does that to your children imagine the pain. I look forward to his execution and there is no way the governor will spare this garbage."
Swan said she has heard this kind of response often since she began writing about her experience. While she's able to let the comments roll off her back, her husband has had a more difficult time hearing the attacks on his wife.
"There has been a lot of backlash with a lot of angry, hateful comments about me being a disgusting piece of filth," she said. "But there have also been some very supportive comments. I've been trying to be really nice to people because I get that it's very polarizing."
Still, Swan plans to head back to Texas in November to witness Gonzales's rescheduled execution. But this time, her mother, Debra, is a little worried since she will be heading into the heart of Donald Trump's Texas base near the U.S. election date.
"I feel so strongly since (Gonzales) wants me to be there," Swan said. "I admire the bravery and humility it takes to be so open about the worst thing you have ever done."

My wife and I were having dinner with some friends the other night, and they asked me for some advice on their aging car. It's approaching 150k miles and starting to cost them more to maintain it every year.
Oh, and "I hate it," he said.
"How long should we keep it?", they wondered. They recently replaced another car when it was close to 200k miles. My car is about a thousand miles away from 150,000, so I'm basically in the same boat. It cost me more to maintain it in 2009 than any previous year. I don't, however, hate it.
If you're like my friend and me, your dilemma revolves around spending money. It's probably going to start costing more to keep up an old car at this point, but a new car is obviously a big investment. Even a lightly used car could put either of us in debt.
With that in mind, I'm sharing some thoughts with you on how to deal with a car once it starts showing 6 numbers on the odometer.
Look at the pros and cons. Once you've driven a car past a hundred thousand miles or so, you should start preparing yourself for maintenance and repairs beyond oil changes and brake pads. At this point, an alternator could fail, and cost you a few hundred bucks. An air conditioner compressor might wear out, power window motors may stop working, or a timing chain can break. If more than one of these things happen in a year, you might be watching $2000-$3000 swiftly removed from you bank account. If your car's trade-in value is not much more than the cost of the needed repairs, it could seem like a huge waste of money to keep it running. In my case, the car is completely paid off, so hanging on to it will keep me from going deeper into debt at the moment.
Get a clear picture of your finances. Now let's consider some reasons for and against buying a new(er) car. The thought of purchasing a brand new car is exciting for sure, but it can become a huge financial burden too. A vehicle's value degrades quickly once it is purchased for the first time. You will basically lose some of your investment immediately. For shoppers who can't pay cash, a new car purchase will certainly result in the accumulation of debt. A new car may still cost you more per year than repairing an older one. On the flip-side, you have confidence knowing this car has never been owned, abused, improperly maintained, or wrecked by anyone else. It's got a few hundred miles on it at most and every part is as new as it's ever going to be. If you take good care of it, you can expect many years of reliable service.
Make easy repairs; question big ones. Although problems with your aging clunker can be unpredictable, they aren't necessarily a death certificate. If it's creaking and squeaking, rattling and clicking, you may just need some new struts or bushings. You might be surprised by how smooth and comfortable your car used to be. You've got a bad alternator? Go ahead and replace it. Timing belts will most certainly break at the least convenient times, but that's not the end of the road either. My advice is, if you can handle a few of these slightly more serious, but not quite fatal repairs every year, go for it. It may seem like you are investing more than your car is worth, but you may also still be spending less than a new car loan would cost. Think of it this way: what option will carry you another 10k-50k miles for less money?
Start saving soon. Let's say you've got more serious problems, like a cracked head, serious electrical malfunction, or a failing transmission. These can cost you a lot more to diagnose and fix. If replacing your engine is the best option to save your car, it may not be worth it, unless you can do it yourself, or know someone who can give you a killer deal. Still, chances are the cheapest way to do this is with another used motor, so be prepared for it to show signs of wear. At the very least, a major problem like this should be a good sign to start saving for a new car, even if you don't buy one immediately. The decision to buy something new can take a while, so make the best of that time by preparing financially.

Rear Seat Mounts 1980 CJ5
1 Attachment(s)
Hi. I'm new to the forum and new to the Jeep CJ. I just got an 1980 CJ5. I'm in the process of fixing the basics. I have attached a pic of the rear seat base mounts. This is a fiberglass tub. Any one know what seat will fit these? I have 35 inches at the bottom of the tub between the wells and 34.750 inches at the top.
Thanks for the help.
It's hard to see in the pic but these are hard plastic covers on wood. The plastic has slots. I figured some type of seat locked in there? Maybe a removable one? Any ideas?
