Are mosquitoes driving you mad?
6:00am Friday 21st September 2012 in Somerset By Daniel Milligan
IT'S not a case of what goes bump in the night these days but more like what goes buzz.
Hundreds of thousands of midges and mosquitoes have hit homes in our county and for one couple it has made their life very uncomfortable.
Bernie Perkins, 61, and his wife, Suzie, 59, say in the 20 years they have lived at their Langport home, the mosquitoes have never been as bad.
The couple, who also keep bees on their land, said: "You have to keep all the windows and doors closed – it can get quite uncomfortable, especially when it gets hot outside."
Bernie added: "My wife got so badly bitten she had to go to the doctor and be on antibiotics; her sister needed to go to hospital for her bites.
"I only have to touch some of my hedges and a cloud of them will come out – there must be thousands of them.
"We are hoping the colder nights and colder weather will start to kill off some of them."
But why have there been so many of the flying critters?
Mike Rigby, head of climate consultancy Original Carbon, said the problem is connected to the heavy rainfall we had in summer and pockets of water left around your house and garden.
He added: "They breed in standing water, not flowing, so you need to eliminate these areas – clear your gutters and pockets of water in your garden.
"If you have a water butt, try putting some vegetable oil on the surface of the water as insects don't like this."
Dr Caroline Gamlin, Director of Public Health for Somerset, said: "In the countryside wear suitable footwear, and loose fitting trousers covering the ankles.
"Insects will often be most active in the early morning and late evening so keeping arms and legs covered with light, loose fitting clothing at these times will reduce the risk of bites. There have been no recorded cases of a person being infected with malaria as a result of receiving a mosquito bite on the Somerset Levels."

Skype 'temporarily' disables People Hub in Windows Phone update
Skype has updated its Windows Phone application with some new features -- and the loss of a key one.
The company yesterday updated its app for Windows Phone 7.5 and Windows Phone 8 with a preview release. Skype was quick to point out that the "experiences are not yet final," adding that some features "are work-in-progress and may not function consistently." Those features address, among other things, call reliability and "the ability to receive incoming calls and chat notifications when outside of the app."

Reasonable minds can (and certainly do) differ on the value of the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. While critics may argue that the conflicts have accomplished nothing, they have indisputably served at least one purpose: They have extended the statute of limitations for criminal fraud claims asserted by the government in a case in Boston.

On Wednesday, Syrian Free Army leader Gen. Salim Idriss told CNN's Christiane Amanpour that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons in several places, including Homs, Aleppo and Otaiba, near Damascus.
Idriss said rebel forces had some of the people reportedly exposed to chemical weapons examined by doctors, and they took soil and blood samples.
"And the samples were tested, it was very clear that the regime used chemical weapons," he said.
The British Foreign Office said Thursday that it had "limited but persuasive" evidence of chemical weapons use in Syria, and it urged al-Assad to allow unfettered access for international investigators.
Ventrell told reporters on Thursday that allowing a team of U.N. experts to investigate would be the "most direct way" to find out what happened.
"We have the U.N. ready to deploy inspectors on a couple of days notice. We're already pre-deploying out in the field near Syria and ready to go in," he said. "And you have the regime resisting a full and thorough and credible investigation within Syria. So we urge the regime to allow these inspectors in. That currently is the most direct route to getting to the bottom of what may have occurred."
NATO leaders discuss the issue
The administration disclosure comes two days after Secretary of State John Kerry urged NATO members to prepare for the possible use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime, while Russia's foreign minister accused the West of politicizing the search for such weapons, comparing it to the hunt for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned Tuesday that reports of chemical weapons in Syria must be carefully investigated to avoid a repetition of the "Iraqi scenario" in which unconfirmed allegations that the regime of Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction were the basis for the U.S.-led invasion.
He accused Western nations of trying to "politicize the issue" and broadening the investigation. Experts were supposed to be sent to Syria to study the possible use of chemical weapons in Aleppo. Instead, Lavrov said, investigators demanded access to all facilities in Syria and the right to interview all Syrian citizens.
"I believe that is too much," he said.
NATO remains conflicted about Syria's two-year civil war. While members are concerned about the mounting causalities, millions of refugees and the potential for a wider regional spillover, they are loath to become embroiled in another Middle Eastern conflict.
Israeli evidence
Earlier this week an Israeli intelligence official said Damascus was using weapons banned under international law against its own people in the country's civil war.
On Wednesday, Israeli President Shimon Peres said that he expected the United States to fall in line with its estimate on chemical weapons use in Syria.
"I think the United States and us and others will do whatever we can to meet this very dangerous weapon," he said. "The sooner the better."
Syria has said it is rebels who have used chemical weapons.
Sarin gas is an odorless nerve agent that can cause convulsions, paralysis and respiratory failure. Nerve agents are the most toxic and rapidly acting of the known chemical warfare agents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Sarin quickly evaporates from liquid to vapor form to disperse into the environment. It also mixes easily with water and can poison a water supply.

If so, exactly how? Thanks to Keith Underwood, I now can run jobs off of the head node using the following command. NO_INLINE_MPIRUN=true bpsh n application -p4pg file The p4p4 switch indicates that you will use a p4pg file to indicate which nodes you will use for the calculation. I attach, below, a sample p4pg file. application is the executable. n is the node on which the p4pg file resides. I am making this post because I have stated before that I was unable to open files on slave nodes unless the head node was part of the run. It turns out that, at 4:30 in the morning, I had made a dumb mistake in the call above so that I couldn't open the files. I have since been successful in opening files in the /tmp directory of the slave nodes. Here is the sample file: 0 0 /home/edwardsa/QUEST/lcao2p46a/lcao_nebgga.x 1 1 /home/edwardsa/QUEST/lcao2p46a/lcao_nebgga.x 2 1 /home/edwardsa/QUEST/lcao2p46a/lcao_nebgga.x 3 1 /home/edwardsa/QUEST/lcao2p46a/lcao_nebgga.x 4 1 /home/edwardsa/QUEST/lcao2p46a/lcao_nebgga.x Note that the application here has been the same as the application in the call above.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
The Pueblo City Council has walked back on their decision to replace prayer with a moment of silence at City Council meetings.
The original decision had been made after someone in Pueblo complained about the opening prayer to the Freedom From Religion Foundation, who then sent the Council a note asking them to remove the prayer.
But the prayer was restored upon realization that the Council's own rules and bylines call for an invocation, so a majority vote would be needed to remove it. The Council says it will search for ways to make the invocation more inclusive.

Rockapella successfully modernized the art of a cappella performing, texturing their rich five-part vocals with elements of rock, jazz, R&B and doo-wop. The group was formed during the mid-'80s by Brown University students Sean Altman (tenor) and Elliott Kerman (baritone), who met while members of the school's male a cappella ensemble the High Jinks. They soon formed a spin-off streetcorner group dubbed the Lunchtime Specials, gradually evolving into Rockapella -- although other members came and went, both Altman and Kerman stayed on throughout the lean years, eventually joined by tenor Scott Leonard and bass Barry Carl. In 1990 the group appeared on the PBS special Spike Lee and Company: Do It A Cappella, leading to an invitation to become the house band on the network's educational series Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?, where they remained for five seasons. Although no American record deal was immediately forthcoming, Rockapella soon signed to the Japanese label For Life, issuing their debut LP To NY in 1992. Two more albums, From NY and Bash!, appeared that same year, and in 1993 vocal percussionist Jeff Thacher joined the lineup in time to record 1994's Vocobeat. The Christmas release Out Cold was issued just months later, and in 1995 Rockapella issued their first American collection, Primer. In the wake of 1996's Lucky Seven, Altman left the lineup and was replaced by Kevin Wright; the retooled roster issued Don't Tell Me You Do in early 1999. The seasonal effort Christmas Album was issued in fall 2000, and the concert release Live was issued in early 2001. For their fifth album, 2002's Smilin', Rockapella welcomed guest vocals from singer George Baldi. That same year, the vocal group released the holiday effort Comfort and Joy. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Tomorrow's the big day for NIU football fans.
The NIU football team heads for Miami today. The Huskies, who are ranked 15th in the nation, are preparing to play Florida State in the Orange Bowl New Year's Day. It's the first time a team from the Mid-American Conference will appear in a BCS game.
NIU may be an easy target to illustrate some frustration with the way the Bowl Championship Series are decided. Larger schools with winning records which have played bigger teams were left out. NIU plays in the Mid-American Conference, and a MAC team has never made it into a BCS bowl. But a lot of things had to go right for the Huskies to get the nod--and they did.
The NIU Convocation Center played host Wednesday night to a pep rally for members of the Huskies football team. Players took the floor during half-time of the NIU Men's Basketball game.

So this is the OOC topic for my FMA RP. Oh lookie, it has a real name now!
Anyway, yeah, would like to start fairly soon on this. As for a timeline, this takes place roughly 10 years after the Promised Day, so most anyone who was still alive at the end of Brotherhood is still alive here, unless old age took them. Fair enough, right? As for the character sheet rubric:

On his right hand, he wears a black fingerless glove with a white transmutation circle stitched into the palm. He keeps his pocketwatch on a necklace instead of the standard chain.
Affiliation (State, Civilian, Tribal, etc): State Alchemist (The Lightning Alchemist)
Alchemy Style and Specialty (If any): Focus on ionization, magnetism, and electrocution techniques
Background: Joined the State Military during the leadership of Grumman, before his retirement. He was drawn in by stories of great Alchemists like Fullmetal, Flame, and Strong Arm, and of the Promised Day 10 years before. First started studying alchemy at age 17.
Personality: Fun loving and cocky, but inquisitive as well. Does not respond well to comments about his eye color.
Name: Jason a.k.a. wind walker alchemist (fawcettp)
Age: 37
Appearance: a tall skinny man with light greying at the temples of his brown hair which is down to his mid-back and kept in a tight braid. his eye once a bright green now hold a shadow of what he did in his past, he is normally seen wearing light brown trench coat over a black suit.
Affiliation (State, Civilian, Tribal, etc): civilian, retired state alchemist.
Alchemy Style and Specialty (If any): wind/air alchemy, the manipulation and control of air currents and pressure.
Background: he once served in the state alchemy as a dog of the military during the tail end of the ishbal war, but after seeing what they made him and the others do he retired from their service and now simply wanders the lands looking for a way to repay his past crimes.
That's all for now, peeps.

It took me 2 minutes to buy two summer/outdoor shirts. Your range was just what I wanted. An inside zipped pocket would be good on your shirts. The refurbished shop at Leamington Parade is much better access and has a good range of stock.

When setting a pessimistic lock on an entity (e.g. a row lock) and retreiving an entity from the database, Doctrine returns the entity from cache if it has any. When updating a counter on an entity for example, it is important the row is locked, retreived, updated and then unlocked to guarantee the counter keeps in sync. Using $em->clear(); before $em->find(); is a work-around for this problem, but as requested by Benjamin Eberlei on the google groups thread (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/doctrine-user/N8Xop2-XbTY) this bugreport is made to fix this without the need of clear().
In the next example, if the entity is previously retreived already, find() returns that version instead of retreiving the current version from the database after the rowlock is set. When $em->clear(); can be used to work-around the problem
// $em instanceof EntityManager //$em->clear(); // Uncommenting this fixed the problem $em->getConnection()->beginTransaction(); try { $entity = $em->find('Entity', $id, LockMode::PESSIMISTIC_WRITE); /* Update some fields, for example, decrease a counter */ $entity->setCounter($entity->getCounter() - 1); $em->persist($entity); $em->flush(); $em->getConnection()->commit(); } catch ( \Exception $ex ) { $em->getConnection()->rollback(); }

Indigenous peoples' resilience is rooted in traditional knowledge and their deep understanding of the land.
For indigenous peoples, resilience is rooted in traditional knowledge, as their capacity to adapt to environmental change is based first and foremost on in-depth understanding of the land.
As climate change increasingly impacts indigenous landscapes, communities are responding and adapting in unique ways.
United Nations University (2012)
Interview with Apak Qaqqasiq about climate change, Clyde River, Nunavut, August 27, 2005. In Inuktitut with English translation.
We Are One extensive list of Indigenous Resources and Nations.
Earthcycles.net transmits audio from environmental gatherings, actions, forums & activities.
Can REDD forests ever become green? Social and other safeguards are needed if REDD initiatives are to cut GHG emissions while doing no harm and benefiting indigenous peoples.
Deforestation, especially of tropical forests, makes up 18 percent of annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions — more emissions than the entire global transportation sector.
REDD initiatives aim to reduce GHG emissions by assigning forests a monetary value based on their capacity to absorb and store atmospheric carbon. REDD+ initiatives attempt to incorporate additional sources of forest value, such as ecosystem services, biodiversity conservation, and local livelihoods.
Both REDD and REDD+ approaches feed into carbon markets that are supposed to generate significant financial flows from companies with high degrees of GHG emissions in developed countries toward less polluting, carbon-neutral or carbon-negative activities in developing countries.
Energy innovation and traditional knowledge: Renewables-based energy sovereignty can revitalize indigenous communities while mitigating climate change impacts.
The growing awareness of the reality of climate change and its accompanying impacts and risks is causing many to rethink current energy policies and to reconsider the reliance on conventional energy sources that have contributed to creating the global climate crisis.
Although many countries are looking toward low-carbon technologies and clean, renewable energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuels are still our primary energy source, as illustrated in BP's 2012 Statistical Review of World Energy.

Inhabitants of the Eastern Pamir Mountains are pressured to overuse a highland shrub for firewood as imported fuel becomes too costly.
Inherkowinginambana, from Kowanyama - a coastal Aboriginal community in tropical Queensland, Australia - works with other local elders to protect Aboriginal country and culture.
"When that whole ocean comes and rises up, where are we going to go?" ponders Inherkowinginambana. "Every year it (the tide) comes in, it goes a bit further up once it hits the swamps, that will kill all the plant life, and the waterways." As a traditional knowledge coordinator, Inherkowinginambana travels with the local rangers and various traditional owners to visit different cultural sites that are being rapidly changed by saltwater rise.
Kyrgyzstan shepherd Dootkasy and his wife Anarkul share their family's observations and traditional adaptations to a changing climate in highland pastures of Kyrgyzstan's Tian Shan Mountains.
The effects of climate change on indigenous communities living on a sandy island in Papua New Guinea.
Nicholas Hakata, a local youth leader, explains that with sea level rise, he and his family have been surviving on fish and coconuts, and battling malaria-infected swamp mosquitoes.

Hungry and frustrated, Islanders have set up their own relocation team and have begun the urgent tasks of moving their families closer to security.

Is Standing Stone serious music?
When Sir Paul's tone poem Standing Stone was first premiered, and then released as a CD in 1997, it attracted a very mixed reception.
Sir Paul McCartney
In fact I rather like to see the musical purists get their underwear in a bit of a twist when they try to tell us how bad something is, how derivative, how shallow, how it sounds as if it has been written by a committee, and, how dare you step over the musical boundaries and try your hand at "serious" music. In other words elitism at its worst. And believe me if there was a decree from No 10 and the White House tomorrow that all music be left in the hands of the purists, then music, all music, would die very quickly, and good riddance because none of it would be worth listening to.
And McCartney's Standing Stone is worth listening to, and more than once.
Sir Paul's first recorded effort at 'serious' composing (as if composing hundreds of popular songs was not serious for goodness sake) was his 1991 Liverpool Oratorio which I remember as a tremendously moving piece of work that quite naturally showed the influence of Elgar (who made the oratorio his own in the early 20th century), but to my ears much more that of Vaughan Williams, Arnold Bax, plus a good helping of John Tavener and Malcolm Arnold, who were, and are, masters of assimilation, as is McCartney — you only have to listen to Sgt Pepper, the early Wings recordings, and some recent solo McCartney, to understand what I'm getting at; and without assimilation art, any art, cannot move ahead, cannot be creative.
And it's the same with Standing Stone, McCartney's first real stab at a symphonic piece. It worked in October 1997 when it was premiered and released, and it worked last night when, with Hilary, I listened to it again.
This is what McCartney has to say about Standing Stone in the liner notes to the CD:
"I've spent much of the last four years composing what has now become my second large-scale classical work, the symphonic poem Standing Stone. Unlike the Liverpool Oratorio which features prominent roles for four solo singers, Standing Stone relies entirely on colours and effects drawn from the orchestral and choral forces. With no soloists to propel the "story" and to help keep me on track throughout the writing of about 75 minutes of music I wrote a poem in which I try to describe the way Celtic man might have wondered about the origins of life and the mystery of human existence."
And it is there that we have the secret of this piece of wonderful music – that of man wondering what life is all about. It's the same secret we discover when we look at Anthony Gormley's 100 iron men looking out to sea from Crosby beach – their solitariness, their stillness and their fortitude. It is what we hear in this music, especially in Part 9, where McCartney introduces a melody of such simplicity and beauty that it almost breaks your heart (which has come from a good deal of contemplation and experience), and what we hear too in the music of Sir Malcolm Arnold who, like McCartney, was criticised by those damned purists for being popular. And the more I listen to Standing Stone the more I realise that Arnold has undoubtedly been a greater influence (consciously or subconsciously) than any other composer on McCartney's symphonic music, but not in a negative sense. The underlying echoes of Arnold (Sir Paul might disagree) come through to me as a kind of homage to a man who shared many of Sir Paul's ideals and beliefs, and, like Paul, wrote music from the heart.
Then it occurred to Hilary — who has recently started a campaign to save Gormley's "Another Place" at Crosby — that McCartney's Standing Stone is effectively the soundtrack to Gormley's magnificent work on that haunted, industrial, almost derelict beach, and that McCartney's wonderfully evocative, emotional music must, somehow, be performed there.
Standing Stone, recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra, and conducted by Lawrence Foster, is available on EMI Classics.

And every you know I have to say I believe the teachers unions are taking this too personal.
And they -- in the Connecticut they're actually monopolizing.
The legislative process and they're not the only constituents.
Now there have been people out there who said it was the union teachers union that got you fired.
Do you agree -- you believe that do you have any evidence of that.
I believe it was the unions I mean even when I first started to and even think about inviting -- -- -- I to Connecticut -- to get so much pushed back and -- like.
I'm just Clinton's push back you know you shouldn't bring her to Connecticut.
She's divisive she is this and -- that so -- said that to you I just got emails and people are saying I need to.
You know researcher more.
But as a parent where -- state that arrest parents like Kelly -- Hezbollah are.
For stealing education so I believe every parent in every child should have access to a good education it was like -- last resort to ask could even come to Connecticut so.
You're getting pressure even before she came to town absent people in the school district administrators other teachers fellow -- start.
I mean it's not so I'm from you know professionals out there.
You know some teachers union members -- to -- why -- you biting -- you do know she's divisive.
And I'm saying look -- you treating.
Parents and you know and look how you I even engaging them they're trying to help their children and -- if you just look at our legislative session.
The unions get my back door privileges and meetings and they don't tell you that.
And -- so what about children they have to match.
There will look I think a lot of parents out there agree with you.
But you say you're facing pressure even now not to talk not to tell your story what's going.
So right now looks like you know.
You know I was trying to resolve this with the school district and as of yesterday they were willing.
To resolve it and I actually had to make a choice today access -- -- you know probably lose the little Sally.
I was getting just to let -- -- that you know -- -- our children if we don't protect our children who will.
And they deserve a good to -- They told you that they would continue to pay out your contract then they found out that you are appearing on this broadcast.
They about a double.
Hours ago they -- they're not happy at all and I was just call them like this is not -- you know.
I was wrongfully terminated I know I did my job well you should not have terminated me and analysis choice -- Well if we pay a contract out -- we won't pay it if you speak about this but there are people I speak to parents and Pennsylvania.
-- New York in Kentucky all across the country and all we want is.
Good schools period so -- -- these people trying to bribe you to be quiet and that's what is that would -- -- Connecticut.
I think they're saying look you I I believe -- MB and believe we teach our kids.
You know to stand up against bullies.
And I am with all due respect.
To the great teachers in the key national I believe teacher unions.
Their leadership.

I thought Obama and Hillary´s Arab Spring took care of the Islamic terror. Did someone put another video on the internet and make the Muslims mad?The terror threat never shifted from Africa. Remember the embassy bombings?
Hitler denied his ambitions, even though Churchill was not fooled, and was proved correct.Today, on the other hand, Islam (not radical Islam, but orthodox Islam) makes no apology for its assertion that infidels, that is, everyone but them, must die.A Holocaust survivor said that the lesson learned from that horror is, "When someone says they are going to kill you, believe them."The Islamists tell us they are going to kill us, and they are keeping their word.America's president says, "When winds blow ill, I stand with Islam."
He did say that poster 2. But either nobody heard about it or don´t care.
Is it any wonder that the "terror threat shifts to Africa" when arms were being run through Benghazi and God knows where else in Africa?
Oh yes, great care has worked so well so far! s/o
