The Golden Compass
Director : Chris Weitz
Screenplay : Chris Weitz (based on the novel Northern Lights by Philip Pullman)
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 2007
Stars : Dakota Blue Richards (Lyra Belacqua), Nicole Kidman (Marisa Coulter), Sam Elliott (Lee Scoresby), Daniel Craig (Lord Asriel), Ben Walker (Roger), Freddie Highmore (voice of Pantalaimon), Ian McKellen (voice of Iorek Byrnison), Eva Green (Serafina Pekkala), Jim Carter (John Faa), Tom Courtenay (Farder Coram), Ian McShane (Ragnar Sturlusson), Christopher Lee (First High Councilor)
In the end, the question of whether The Golden Compass, the film adaptation of the first book in British author Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, is an atheist manifesto masquerading as children's fantasy is irrelevant. The much-remarked-upon subversive anti-religious nature of the books must have been diluted to the point of being practically nonexistent because it makes no impact in the film. I have read various arguments both for and against this adaptive strategy, with some saying that the excising of the book's religious-philosophical material effectively castrates the story and renders it pointless and others saying that it improves the narrative by keeping Pullman's high-handed soapbox from getting in the way.
Not having read the books, I can't stand one side or the other, but I can say that I found the film to be a colossal bore--a meandering, shapeless adventure that takes you from one place to another with no real sense of urgency or excitement. Granted, a budget of $180 million will provide some fantastic imagery, and The Golden Compass certainly has its moments (including hoards of talking animals and a climactic display of armored polar bear smackdown), but simply throwing money at the screen is no guarantee of a good movie. In a clear attempt to emulate their previous multi-billion-dollar success with adapting The Lord of the Rings trilogy, New Line Cinema has clearly stumbled into murky territory in adapting a controversial book that hasn't been around long enough to develop the historical import of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved saga.
The story takes place in one of many alternate, parallel universes, this one strikingly like our own except that all the décor seems to have come from Europe in the 1920s, the technology is right out of Jules Verne, and people walk side by side with their souls in animal form called "daemons." The heroine is a plucky 12-year-old girl (is there another kind?) named Lyra Belacqua (Dakota Blue Richards). Lyra is an orphan who has been raised on the grounds of Jordan College by her scientist-adventurer uncle Lord Asriel (Daniel Craig). Lord Asriel is determined to prove that alternate worlds exist, as does a magical substance called Dust. Opposing him is the Magisterium, a ruling governmental body that is clearly a stand-in for the Catholic Church both visually (they dress like priests) and rhetorically (they keep complaining of "heresy").
Lyra is given an altheiometer, the "golden compass" of the title, which can be used by anyone to discern the truth. It is the last of its kind, and the Magisterium would love to destroy it, so they send in the mysterious Mrs. Coulter (Nicole Kidman), a glamorous woman who offers to take Lyra with her on an adventure in the North. Once Lyra discovers Mrs. Coulter's real intentions, she sets off on her own, eventually becoming involved in unraveling a malicious scheme to kidnap children and surgically separate them from their daemons and a power struggle among the warrior-bears that populate the North Pole. At all times she is accompanied by Pantalaimon (voiced by Freddie Highmore), her daemon who also acts as her guide and conscience. Like all children's daemons, Pan constantly changes shapes, usually from ferret to bird to cat (once Lyra become an adult, her daemon will "settle" into one form).
Behind the camera, what The Golden Compass lacks most is a visionary director. The film was adapted and directed by Chris Weitz, who has proved an able filmmaker with comedies like American Pie (1999) and About a Boy (2002), but is clearly in over his head. Whatever the wonders of Pullman's books may be, they have not found their way to the screen in anything other than expensive CGI literalization. For all the goes on throughout the movie, there is little charm and almost no humor, nor is there ever any sense of dramatic urgency or real affection for the characters. Most of them are introduced and then quickly shuffled off-stage, ostensibly so they can reappear in later installments. Nicole Kidman certainly cuts a striking figure when she's on-screen, though, conveying with great, clipped intensity that most striking childhood fear of adults: their instability. Mrs. Coulter morphs from motherly to villainous in fluid movements, making her a truly chilling villain. Unfortunately, she is the only character to leave any real impression.
While it is undeniably necessary in the first part of a trilogy to introduce a lot of characters, plots, and ideas that have no resolution, there is still a sense that everything is too rushed and graceless, as if genuine indulgence in the wonders of imagination had to be jettisoned in favor of narrative efficiency. While Christian watchdog groups are certainly justified in being wary of a film based on a book series that the author has giddily described in the press as being about "killing God," there is little to fear here because the philosophical backbone of the books has been watered down into a simplistic celebration of "free will." The perceived need to remove the books' anti-religious sentiments is obvious when it comes to the bottom line, although it makes one wonder why New Line decided to spend so much time and money adapting a book that had to be gutted to make it marketable.

RENTON - The Seattle Seahawks didn't expect to be in this position.
They were expecting to be studying film of the San Francisco 49ers and preparing for a third meeting with their division rivals in the NFC Championship game.
But a frenzied rally from 20 points down in the fourth quarter only to have a K Matt Bryant field goal in the closing seconds ended Seattle's season with a 30-28 defeat at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
"I didn't plan on being off this early," WR Doug Baldwin said.
It marks the end to an impressive maturation process for the Seahawks this season from a young team with talent to a team that began to see that talent realized. It's a strong building block for the future as they have found their quarterback in QB Russell Wilson and have very few key players up for free agency.
The Seahawks only have 13 players from their active roster headed for free agency and only a couple big names are on the list.
LB Leroy Hill and CB Marcus Trufant have been the longest-tenured Seahawks and will once again be facing an off-season of uncertainty as to whether they wil be back.
Trufant was released by Seattle last off-season before being re-signed before training camp. It seems unlikely the veteran will return next season with the young depth at the position.
Hill had a solid season for Seattle and is very good at setting the edge in the run game. Yet, Seattle may look to get cheaper at that position with many young players due to have their contracts up in the next couple seasons.
DT Alan Branch will be an unrestricted free agent after spending his last two seasons in Seattle. Branch expressed a sincere desire to be back with the Seahawks next season.
"I love the team here. I would love to be back here. I have developed great friendships with the guys, especially in the D-line room, but throughout the team. I didn't really have as many friends as I do on this team on any team I had in Arizona. I think it's a special group," Branch said.
"Hopefully they want me here and the whole money situation gets settled. But if not there won't be a better group of guys than this, I'm sure."
DT Jason Jones provided the only consistent interior pass rush this season for Seattle before landing on injured reserve. He was on a one-year contract after leaving Tennessee last season.
K Steven Hauschka will be an unrestricted free agent for the first time this off-season.
LS Clint Gresham, S Chris Maragos and DT Clinton McDonald will be restricted free agents, meaning, if tendered, other teams can sign them to offer sheets but the Seahawks would have the right to match any offer.
Other unrestricted free agents include: WR Deon Butler, DE Patrick Chukwurah, K Ryan Longwell, TE Cameron Morrah and T Frank Omiyale.

Now. . . And Then: Beth of Home Stories A to Z
Blogger: Beth of Home Stories A to Z
And Then. . .
What makes me cringe when I look back:
I can't find a great before picture of my foyer, but it was yellow and red (along with everything else in my home) with a little tiffany light fixture that was much too small for the space. The biggest mistake I made when we moved to this house four years ago was to try and "save money" by keeping my old color scheme. I was early to jump on the "Kirkland's look" as I affectionately refer to it back in '99 and was beyond tired of the red and gold theme when we moved. So dumb of me to try and make the look continue to work when I hated it. The other cringe-worthy element in this pic (besides the Santa) is the couch placement. It took me a very long time to figure out how to arrange my furniture properly.
What I love most about my home now:
My house is continually a work in progress, and I'm very fickle in my love for it. However, if I had to choose one thing, I would say the board and batten that we added to our main level has made a world of difference. It's brightened up the space immensely and feels much more like "us" now. Oh yes, and my exposed brick walls throughout are awesome too. I adore the character they add to our home.
The biggest influence on my evolving style has been:

Where's the Android version? We're good wooters,too.
There's an android app for this one too, right?
Butterfly in the sky I can fly twice as high

Yes there is an android app too.

Take a look... It's in a book... A Reading RAINBOW!!!!!
Got one of these for my dad for his birthday. We all agreed it was easier to fly than a very similar copter that had a traditional RC controller.
Can you use that IR emitter for more than just the copter?
This is a video using an iPhone to control this baby.
Don't buy this...if you want an iPhone/Android controlled HC get the Syma model. You'll be happier because you'll be able to buy replacement parts. The Syma parts are close to this, but not exact. World Tech Toys does not make replacment parts available
Cool video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y95SOhxwAM8
I highly doubt it but if their was 1 I would probably buy it because it's actually a pretty cheap little rc helicopter.
No Android support? Means no sale. How can tech companies really cater to only partial percentages of a given market and expect to stay successful? tl:dr = I'm an android user, and disgruntled this doesn't work with my phone.

insta-memories flooding my brain *as i ponder toward the sky*
Possible Android APP
the video above shows android is supported
Looks like a kids woot to me. I need a receiver and a good price.
I got one of these last time. It's a blast - easy to fly and the battery lasts a reasonable amount of time on a charge. I've been able to cobble together Syma parts to fit this (I broke the landing skids in a hard landing). I like it well enough that I'm in for another one.
You know what would be cool? One Woot-Off, the next items are voted on by the message boarders. Give an option of 3 items, whichever is leading after the current item ends gets posted. Of course the Screaming Monkeys and Bags of Crap would be random still. I don't know... A Choose Your Own Woot-Off?
If it doesn't come with tzatziki, it's not a gyro!
This is piece of crap. I have one and the rotor shaft broke after about 10 minutes of use. Just normal landing impact.

Just glad I am not the only one
I got seven (!) of these in my Barrel of Crops last Wootoff, and have yet to make one of them work with my phone (Incredible 2). One of the ton of apps on the market should work with this, but I don't think I've found "the one" yet. I can't say if it's the app, my phone, or the IR transmitter that isn't working. But I have checked the transmitter with a camera and didn't see any IR shining from it, so my money's on that. On the plus side, they make for a nice light show and a veritable desktop squadron. I imagine there's a reason mine were from a Bunnies Ogling Carrots though.
I'm theorizing that the last 1500 Bunnies Ogling Carrots will be on tomorrow to close the W00T-off. Regrettably I lack the stamina for another day of this.
Well I guess me and my Android phone can go eat POO!!

Lamb sounds good right now, I think I'm gonna order a pizza and open this bottle of crown
I want a Parrot AR drone.. if Woot could pull a refurbished off for $100-150, I'll transfer money to my debit card right away.
How much weight do you think it can carry if you bumped up the specs a bit? I see this a fun to mod a tiny wireless camera to it
orrrr some people can read above that it is supported orrrr they can ignore that and go eat poo

Typically, one doesn't use the word "impact" with the term "normal landing"

This woot off has been the most depressing woot off ever. I missed the ONE thing I needed, that damn Roomba. *pause* ok, so I guess I don't "need" the Roomba. But you see, sometimes, I get lonely. And sometimes when I am lonely, I eat cookie and leave crumbs. And since I have no one to notice the cookie crumbs, they just sit there, collecting dust. So, if I had the Roomba I would have a companion AND someone to pick up the dust. Plus, since I would have a friend, I wouldn't get lonely and I wouldn't eat cookies . . . I am sure you can all see the cycle. *sigh* Does woot sell lives? Cause I apparently need to get one of those as well.

text: Home Culture Black Reality TV and the Rebirth of Fool Instead of debating Django Unchained, we should be harsher critics of shows like Best Funeral Ever. By: Nsenga K. Burton, Ph.D. Posted: Jan. 12 2013 12:54 AM 0 TLC's Best Funeral Ever (The Root) -- It's official. Reality-television executives have lost their minds. The reality-TV shows featuring mostly black casts debuting in 2013 are setting back images of black folks in television at least 60 years. While critics are obsessed with the controversial film Django Unchained, there is a movement taking place in reality television that has elevated black buffoonery to the highest level possible while diminishing black culture to the lowest level in recent memory. The images of blacks on TLC's reality shows Best Funeral Ever and The Sisterhood and Oxygen's All My Babies' Mamas are appalling. They are also reminiscent more of images of blacks in film at the turn of the last century than of blacks in television during the last 60 years. While we're spending hours upon hours debating one film on social networks and in the media, tomfoolery is raging on TLC and Oxygen in the form of reality-television programming that has little to no entertainment value and is more exploitative than any Tarantino film could ever be. As my late grandmother would say, we are "focused on the wrong thing." The images of blacks as buffoons, jezebels, coons and Aunt Jemimas are circulating through our living rooms on a daily onslaught in the form of reality-TV promos, reruns and marathons. As if trying to survive the damage done to our televisual images by Real Housewives of Atlanta, Basketball Wives and Love and Hip Hop franchises isn't enough to manage, here comes a slew of shows that would make the "ladies" of those shows gasp and swoon. In all honesty, I could barely get through the first episode of Best Funeral Ever, a reality show highlighting the Golden Gate funeral home in Dallas, where the narration proclaims, "You may be in a casket, but it can still be fantastic." The funeral home will do any funeral service one can imagine. In the first episode, someone who loved Christmas and "bopping" (dancing) is being laid to rest, so the relatives decide to give him a Christmas-themed funeral. Fast-forward to the funeral planners, who are in a costume shop bopping around wearing a snowman head throughout the store. Surprise, surprise: The funeral planners become engaged in a power struggle over the planning, which appears to be going off budget, with one planner saying that she can't be "undisciplined." Undisciplined? You're bopping around a costume shop wearing a snowman's head in preparation for a funeral, and you're worried about the budget? But, but, but, wait ... it gets worse (in my best Sticky Fingaz voice): The next scene is of one of the funeral home owners training a group of "professional mourners." This man is literally coaching and directing folks who attend funerals to amp up the emotional quotient, since sometimes folks "don't know how to cry." When he called for the "Tornado Roll" -- someone rolling across the floor and throwing herself against a casket -- I had to shut off the TV. My psyche couldn't take any more coonlike behavior, and I honestly could not figure out the entertainment value of this show other than for people who like to see black folks looking a hot mess. Speaking of hot messes, The Sisterhood is a TLC show about the wives of church pastors, also known as "first ladies," who live in Atlanta. This program actually has some redeeming qualities -- demonstrating the diversity of black families and the complicated role of representing Christianity publicly to others while struggling to maintain those standards in one's private life -- but fails to focus on this interesting premise.

Saint Benjamin the Deacon
Deacon. Imprisoned for a year for his faith, he was released on condition that he never speak about Christianity where he could be heard by any of the royal court. Benjamin then became a street preacher, proclaiming the word any place he could find people. For his obstinate evangelization during the persecutions of king Varanes, he was arrested, tortured and martyred.

July 13, 2009 Athens, July 13, 2009 — Following yesterday's police operation at a makeshift camp for migrants in Patras and the subsequent fire that broke out, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) expresses concern for the medical and humanitarian condition of the migrants and asylum seekers who were left homeless, as well as those who were arrested. MSF urges authorities to ensure humane living conditions and the provision of medical assistance to this population. "Many of the people who are left without shelter and the ones who were arrested have been our patients for a long period of time," said Micky Van Gerven, Head of Mission of the MSF project for migrants, asylum seekers and refugees in Greece. "We are deeply concerned about their condition and request guarantees from the authorities that they will be treated with dignity and receive medical and mental health support if needed." "We don't know yet where they are and what has happened to them," he said. "Most of them have been forced to leave their country because of conflict or extreme poverty and are now faced with an uncertain future and possible detention for an unclear period of time. This may have a negative impact on their medical and mental health condition." The majority of the people living in the camp were from Afghanistan and have fled conflict and war. Among them are a number of minors, who are extremely vulnerable and in need of special protection. It is important that all migrants and asylum seekers are treated with dignity and that the authorities adhere to the relevant international and European conventions as well as the EU Council directive which established minimum standards for the reception of asylum seekers Today's police operation is part of a broader response targeting migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Patras and other parts of the country. MSF will closely monitor the situation in Patras and continue to respond to the needs of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees in the country. MSF has been working in the migrants' makeshift camp in Patras since May 2008 providing primary health care and psychosocial support and improving the living conditions of the population inside the camp. So far the organization has carried out more than 8,500 consultations, treating mostly respiratory infections and dermatological diseases, and referring more than 350 patients to the local hospitals. During this period, more than 400 refugees have received individual psychosocial support and more than 450 group sessions, including psycho education and health promotion sessions. Finally, sleeping bags and hygiene kits have been distributed to the refugees and migrants living inside or outside the Patras makeshift camp. |

In May even America you are seeing that label on teen USA's Olympic uniforms that is because they're made in China and that is making many Americans mad really mad so we want enough.
Should the US Olympic Committee have done a better job is it really that hard to find clothes that are made in the US -- Griff Jenkins hit the ground to find out.
I think they should be embarrassed I think they should take all the uniforms.
Put them in big pile and burn feel very good note about this a -- for instance.
Greta with that outrage on Capitol Hill that the US Olympics opening ceremony clothes were made in China we decided to find out how many Americans are wearing clothes made.
In America.
Starting with myself and full disclosure with my wife is -- -- these -- the -- I started out this morning.
Befriended this is my assignment let me confess my -- was made in China -- -- in London my shirt and Malaysia my -- in China my -- in Italy.
Even my American flag lapel pin.
Made in China I don't think it's right I think that if served you know -- -- be supporting the US that we should definitely have the clothes made here in the United States where were your clothes -- giving the American.
Probably not behind him.
And aid and China have him.

Pungent Stilton cheese and malty stout beer enrich the filling in these classic Lancashire meat pies.
This recipe is based on one from Gunilla von Heland, a food editor in Stockholm. We found that steeping the saffron in vodka helps boost the flavor of the spice throughout the cake.
We adapted a simple recipe from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything to make these delicate French cookies. Sugar-dusted and flaky and with a toothsome bite, they're also a great way to use up leftover puff pastry.
These deliciously fragrant cookies provide a delightful rush of warm spices—and holiday cheer—when bitten into.
This satisfying savory pudding of homemade croutons, tomatoes, and pecorino cheese is a colorful addition to a holiday table.
A glossy coating of chocolate makes these famously buttery, crunchy wafer cookies even more sumptuous.
Tree-shaped sugar cookies, adapted from an old standby, Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook, epitomize a classic American Christmas.
These classic holiday cookies, which we adapted from Carol Gelles' 1,000 Vegetarian Recipes, are rich with molasses and spices and nutty from the addition of whole wheat flour.
Finely chopped walnuts add a deep, nutty flavor to classic buttery thumbprint cookies in a recipe adapted from the Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook. See the recipe »
With a flavor somewhere between a classic American macaroon and a Mexican street snack, these lightly spicy coconut cookies are adapted from Kyra Bussanich's Sweet Cravings.
Folding cornflakes into the dough before baking gives simple chocolate cookies an addictive crunch. Our version is adapted from Edmonds Illustrated Cookbook, a terrific recipe resource from New Zealand.

Amaretto, coffee, and crushed almond cookies flavor rich dark chocolate truffles in this adaptation of Julia Child's recipe from her classic cookbook, The Way to Cook.
The unexpected addition of mashed potatoes adds an exceptional creaminess to dark chocolate fudge in this recipe adapted from Patty Pinner's cookbook Sweets.
Crumbly, buttery cookies are filled with a luscious hazelnut-flavored pastry cream in a recipe adapted from Rosetta Costantino's Southern Italian Desserts. These cookies are massive in both height and width; we find cutting them in half after assembling makes serving easier.

Velocity model determination is considered to be the most challenging process in the field of seismic data analysis. A general velocity model determination workflow consists of two main stages: Building the initial background macro velocity model, and updating the model.
The first stage consists of rough approximations, depending on the available data and the complexity and nature of the subsurface geological model. The derived model contains the long wavelength variations of the velocity field, and represents the general trend of the structural model. The second stage involves more advanced calculations, based on wave equation or ray-based methods. The goal is to update the background velocity with more detail, and achieve higher accuracy and higher resolution.
Seismic tomography is one of the main methods used to update background velocity models. The calculation is based on a linear relationship between traveltime errors along the rays travelling through the model, and subsurface velocity parameter perturbations. The background velocity model can be either isotropic (where velocity is a function of location only) or anisotropic (where velocity is a function of both location and direction).

Kenneth Chamberlain
Kenneth Chamberlain Sr., a black 68-year-old former Marine with a heart condition, was shot and killed in his home by White Plains, N.Y., police who responded to a false alarm from his medical alert pendant. Though he repeatedly told them he was okay, they broke down his door, tasered him and shot him dead; the medical devise recorded audio of the event.
It seems that being Black and/or unable to pay pushes one aside from receiving medical care.
Anna Bown
The horrific story of Anna Brown, a black, homeless, 29-year-old St. Louis woman and mother of two who after refusing to leave a hospital because her legs hurt so much was arrested for trespassing, handcuffed, dragged into a jail cell and left moaning on the floor, where she died of blood clots minutes later. Police thought she was on drugs. She wasn't.
Are these isolated stories or a disturbing national attitude causing mistreatment of minorities/downtrodden?

When there is smoke there could be firings and Oklahoma lawmaker wants to allow companies.
To fire smokers he says their health care costs are higher so -- bosses should be able to fire.
Republican state senator Steven holt is the lawmaker wet.
That bill.
Senator and that this is controversy -- you know.
That you're gonna get a lot of backlash out of this does -- have any chance of making it to law.
Well you know -- little background on the free market conservative and Oklahoma.
Has a statute on the books that make smokers are protected class that is very rare we're talking about race gender national origin and smokers.
I think employers ought to have the ability to operate in the free market and this problem is compounded.
By obamacare because obamacare is coming in and as your viewers well know you know most employers are gonna have to provide health insurance moving forward.
And in Oklahoma are employers cannot make a decision about hiring.
Compensation or benefits based on whether that person smokes or not that is very rare in the United States is -- usual I think it's a testament to good lobbying more than it is a testament to good public policy I'd like to -- that.
Well certainly but does this say do you worry about frankly the constitutionality.
Of a proposal like this I mean you're gonna be charged with.
You know did not going is the US constitution immunity word about -- that'll happen.
No as a matter of fact I you're employed in New York I believe I'm pretty sure that you could be fired for smoking today that you could be fired -- riding a motorcycle having a tattoo -- being obese these are not things that law or the constitution protects your employers have.
The free market ability and should to make decisions based on their bottom line so no it certainly doesn't violate constitution.
-- how far is too far being you know you mentioned new York and yes I am a resident of new York and we have seen a lot of backlash against Mayor Bloomberg in this city.
-- because he is now a taxing soda he's taxing fatty foods all the calories have to be posted -- -- but he says it's for the greater good I know that you're saying this is for the greater good.
For companies.
But what about that person that that takes a job and says I'm gonna quite I wanna quit a bit of work on -- -- -- -- the company to -- -- what about that individual.
Sure what you understand I'm coming from really opposite philosophical viewpoint on this -- Mayor Bloomberg what do I respect but it.
Those types.
Kind of nanny state policies.
Are exactly what I'm trying to get away from here that Oklahoma is encouraging people to smoke through its law it shouldn't -- -- -- or encourage people really I just want the free market to rule.
And get everything out of it now you -- people want to quit that's great but honestly.
The way our laws written if -- company helps people by subsidizing their you know they're quick program.
That's breaking a lot to -- they're -- -- companies would break the law if they charge people different deductibles are different premiums I think that the common sense compromises.
When you know that smoking employees obviously cost more in health insurance.
Well you know what does that are I active site I know what companies human don't do when they're the easiest solution all this is just to not higher in the and -- had several CEOs come on to fox business -- tell -- I'm not going to hire because of the health care costs rising for my company I mean do you think this is something that we can stop at this point.
Well you know I think we can -- obviously the federal -- is what it is but on the state level we can try to ameliorate it by.
Dealing with things that compounded problems and and and here in Oklahoma the fact that smokers are protected class compounds the obamacare problem -- -- mandates are bad enough.
But when we punish ourselves here at the state level and make it to where employers can't make any decision based on their bottom line when it relates to smokers.
We're just we're just you know shooting ourselves in the foot.
State senator of Oklahoma David holt we -- gonna follow the story is they were all of this goes Oklahoma as a fiscally been very irresponsible we're gonna see what happens here thank you.
Thank you.
Well it.

6.3 File Stage-In/Stage-OutFile staging requirements are specified using the stagein and stageout directives of the qsub command. Stagein requests occur before the job starts execution, while stageout requests happen after a job completes. On completion of the job, all staged-in and staged-out files are removed from the execution system. The file_list is in the form local_file@hostname:remote_file[,...] regardless of the direction of the copy. The name local_file is the name of the file on the system where the job executed. It may be an absolute path or relative to the home directory of the user. The name remote_file is the destination name on the host specified by hostname. The name may be absolute or relative to the user's home directory on the destination host. The use of wildcards in the file name is not recommended. The file names map to a remote copy program (rcp/scp/cp, depending on configuration) called on the execution system in the following manner:
Examples # stage input.txt from node13.fsc to /home/john/input on master compute node > qsub -l nodes=1,walltime=100 -W email@example.com:/home/john/input.txt # stage /home/bill/output.txt on master compute node to /tmp/output.txt on node15.fsc > qsub -l nodes=1,walltime=100 -W firstname.lastname@example.com:/home/bill/output.txt $ fortune >xxx;echo cat xxx|qsub -W stagein=xxx@`hostname`:xxx 199.myhost.mydomain $ cat STDIN*199 Anyone who has had a bull by the tail knows five or six more things than someone who hasn't. -- Mark Twain |

I have some good news and bad news....
The good news is that my filing has improved to a more centralised manner. Folders named A-Z and then I place a sub folder relating to the subject/topic.
The bad new is that Im having a difficult time implementing my initial system.
I've gathered all my notes which contain all my TODO items but I'm having a hard time seperating them into the various categories.
I work for a software company and administer all their IT systems and provide IT support. I work on many facets of the organisation (all relating to IT).
Is there anyone from Australia who can help me in defining/building my system so I have the courage to move on?
Yours in union,
