The cluster rarely drops below 50%. Looking back through my records, it hasn't been below 140 processors in use in several weeks, and has spent most of its time with 400+ in use.

When we upgraded from 324 to 586 processors, the users were banging on my door wanting to know when the new nodes were available. Within an hour or releasing the new nodes (and without any notification to the users), they were already using over 500 processors. I'm currently working on an expansion to about 1036 processors, and I fully expect to see it slammed within a few days of release. > If a full reboot is required > only every 3-4 months then is singel node failure your main source of > cycle loss?

We now run a cron job on the headnode that checks every 15 minutes to see if the PBS daemons have died, and if so, it automatically restarts them. About 75% of the time that I have a node fail to accept jobs, it is because its pbs_mom has died, not because there is anything wrong with the node. _\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_ | Roger L.

Clemson's Andre Branch goes sixth in second round of NFL draft; South Carolina's Alshon Jeffery 13th
COLUMBIA In the months leading up to the NFL draft, Mel Kiper Jr. watches hundreds of hours of game video. Analyzing and rating the best prospects available every year is far from an exact science, even for those employed by NFL teams. But all of them scouts and Kiper alike try as hard as they can to offer a precise assessment.
Before this years draft, Kiper said there was one offensive player who he had the most trouble evaluating during those hours of film viewing. The kid has prodigious talent, but also lots of questions about his physique and work ethic.
That player: South Carolina wide receiver Alshon Jeffery.
As a sophomore in 2010, Jeffery played well enough to put himself on track to being a first-round pick this year. He left school early after last season as one of the best receivers in school history. But nobody expected him to get picked in the first round, and indeed he wasnt, as the Chicago Bears selected him with the second rounds 13th pick Friday night, the 38th overall.
Jeffery was the second player from a South Carolina college selected Friday, behind Clemson defensive end Andre Branch, who went sixth in the second round, No. 45 overall, to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Clemson tight end Dwayne Allen was picked by the Indianapolis Colts with the third rounds first pick, No. 64 overall. Branch had 77 tackles last season, including 10½ sacks. Allen had 50 receptions for 598 yards and eight touchdowns.
Clemson defensive tackle Brandon Thompson was picked by Cincinnati with the 30th pick of the third round, 93rd overall.
Jeffery was the seventh receiver picked in this draft, and now it is up to him to prove he deserved to go higher. But for Friday night, the conversation focused on why he fell behind those other receivers, including second-round selections Brian Quick (No. 33 overall) of Appalachian State and Stephen Hill of Georgia Tech, who was picked by the New York Jets, two spots ahead of Jeffery.
Weight has long been a concern for Jeffery. He is 6-3 and played last season around 230 pounds. He dropped to 213 for USCs pro day last month, at which he ran his 40-yard dash in about 4.5 seconds, according to ESPN draft analyst Kevin Weidl. Official times were not released.
That reported time was a positive sign for Jeffery, whose size is a greater asset than his speed. In three college seasons, Jeffery set USCs record for career receiving yards (3,042) and tied the record for most career receiving touchdowns (23). He ranks second with 183 career catches. He also had 12 career 100-yard receiving games, another school record.
But college stats matter only so much when projecting professional achievements. And neither the numbers nor Jefferys 40 time at pro day dispelled all the questions, as opinions about him remained sharply divided.
One NFL scout told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that Jeffery has the best downfield ball-snatching ability of any receiver in this draft.
Another scout had less flattering things to say to the newspaper.
He thinks hes entitled, the scout said. I dont think he has a driving passion for the game. He plays the game really hard but he doesnt do anything else hard. I dont think he trains well. Hes soft.
A third scout told the paper, Youve got to get the kid to buy into your program. Theres risk there, but theres a huge reward, too.
Said Jeffery, on a teleconference with Chicago media: I would say I have a great work ethic. When I get to Chicago, hopefully you can see for yourself firsthand and the team as well, so they can talk about (my) work ethic and see for themselves. Im just ready.
Kipers primary uncertainties about Jeffery involve his physique.
The biggest problem with Jeffery is you dont know what his body type is going to be, Kiper said. The weight that Alshon Jeffery tested at is not the weight that he played at. So whats he going to play at? Whats his best playing weight going to be? Can he be strong enough at a lower weight? If he gets his weight up, is he going to be able to get open?
People are also asking a lot of questions, and talking high risk/reward, about another big Chicago receiver, 6-4 Brandon Marshall, who the Bears traded for last month.
Marshall is obviously more proven than Jeffery, with 6,247 yards and 34 touchdowns in six seasons.
But when they meet soon, perhaps Marshall will talk to Jeffery about how he responded to being passed over. In 2006, Marshall was a fourth-round pick.

Achilles tendinitis
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/achilles-tendinitis/DS00737
Achilles tendinitis is an overuse injury of the Achilles (uh-KIL-eez) tendon, the band of tissue that connects calf muscles at the back of the lower leg to your heel bone.
Achilles tendinitis most commonly occurs in runners who have suddenly increased the intensity or duration of their runs. It's also common in middle-aged people who play sports, such as tennis or basketball, only on the weekends.
Most cases of Achilles tendinitis can be treated with relatively simple, at-home care under your doctor's supervision. Self-care strategies are usually necessary to prevent recurring episodes. More-serious cases of Achilles tendinitis can lead to tendon tears (ruptures) that may require surgical repair.
Achilles tendinitis |
The pain associated with Achilles tendinitis typically begins as a mild ache in the back of the leg or above the heel after running or other sports activity. Episodes of more severe pain may occur after prolonged running, stair climbing or sprinting.
You might also experience tenderness or stiffness, especially in the morning, which usually improves with mild activity.
When to see a doctor
If you experience persistent pain around the Achilles tendon, call your doctor. Seek immediate medical attention if the pain or disability is severe. You may have a torn (ruptured) Achilles tendon.
Achilles tendinitis is caused by repetitive or intense strain on the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue that connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. This tendon is used when you walk, run, jump or push up on your toes.
The structure of the Achilles tendon weakens with age, which can make it more susceptible to injury — particularly in people who may participate in sports only on the weekends or who have suddenly increased the intensity of their running programs.
Risk factors
A number of factors may increase your risk of Achilles tendinitis, including:
- Your sex and age. Achilles tendinitis occurs most commonly in middle-aged men.
- Physical problems. A naturally flat arch in your foot can put more strain on the Achilles tendon. Obesity and tight calf muscles also can increase tendon strain.
- Training choices. Running in worn-out shoes can increase your risk of Achilles tendinitis. Tendon pain occurs more frequently in cold weather than in warm weather, and running on hilly terrain also can predispose you to Achilles injury.
- Medical conditions. People who have diabetes or high blood pressure are at higher risk of developing Achilles tendinitis.
- Medications. Certain types of antibiotics, called fluoroquinolones, have been associated with higher rates of Achilles tendinitis.
Achilles tendinitis can weaken the tendon, making it more vulnerable to a tear (rupture) — a painful injury that usually requires surgical repair.
Preparing for your appointment
You'll likely first bring your symptoms to the attention of your family doctor. He or she might refer you to a doctor specializing in sports medicine or physical and rehabilitative medicine (physiatrist). If your Achilles tendon has ruptured, you may need to see an orthopedic surgeon.
What you can do
Before your appointment, you may want to write a list of answers to the following questions:
- Did the pain begin suddenly or gradually?
- Are symptoms worse at certain times of day or after certain activities?
- What types of shoes do you wear during exercise?
- What medications and supplements do you take regularly?
What to expect from your doctor
Be prepared to answer the following questions regarding your symptoms and factors that may be contributing to your condition:
- Where exactly does it hurt?
- Does the pain lessen with rest?
- What is your normal exercise routine?
- Have you recently made changes to your exercise routine, or have you recently started participating in a new sport?
- What have you done for pain relief?
Tests and diagnosis
During the physical exam, your doctor will gently press on the affected area to determine the location of pain, tenderness or swelling. He or she will also evaluate the flexibility, alignment, range of motion and reflexes of your foot and ankle.
Imaging tests
Your doctor may order one or more of the following tests to assess your condition:
- X-rays. While X-rays can't visualize soft tissues such as tendons, they may help rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms.
- Ultrasound. This device uses sound waves to visualize soft tissues like tendons. Ultrasound can also produce real-time images of the Achilles tendon in motion.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Using radio waves and a very strong magnet, MRI machines can produce very detailed images of the Achilles tendon.
Treatments and drugs
Tendinitis usually responds well to self-care measures. But if your signs and symptoms are severe or persistent, your doctor might suggest other treatment options.
If over-the-counter pain medications — such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or naproxen (Aleve) — aren't enough, your doctor might prescribe stronger medications to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
Physical therapy
A physical therapist might suggest some of the following treatment options:
- Exercises. Therapists often prescribe specific stretching and strengthening exercises to promote healing and strengthening of the Achilles tendon and its supporting structures.
- Orthotic devices. A shoe insert or wedge that slightly elevates your heel can relieve strain on the tendon and provide a cushion that lessens the amount of force exerted on your Achilles tendon.
If several months of more-conservative treatments don't work or if the tendon has torn, your doctor may suggest surgery to repair your Achilles tendon.
Lifestyle and home remedies
Self-care strategies include the following steps, often known by the acronym R.I.C.E.:
- Rest. You may need to avoid exercise for several days or switch to an activity that doesn't strain the Achilles tendon, such as swimming. In severe cases, you may need to wear a walking boot and use crutches.
- Ice. To decrease pain or swelling, apply an ice pack to the tendon for about 15 minutes after exercising or when you experience pain.
- Compression. Wraps or compressive elastic bandages can help reduce swelling and reduce movement of the tendon.
- Elevation. Raise the affected foot above the level of your heart to reduce swelling. Sleep with your affected foot elevated at night.
While it may not be possible to prevent Achilles tendinitis, you can take measures to reduce your risk:
- Increase your activity level gradually. If you're just beginning an exercise regimen, start slowly and gradually increase the duration and intensity of the training.
- Take it easy. Avoid activities that place excessive stress on your tendons, such as hill running. If you participate in a strenuous activity, warm up first by exercising at a slower pace. If you notice pain during a particular exercise, stop and rest.
- Choose your shoes carefully. The shoes you wear while exercising should provide adequate cushioning for your heel and should have a firm arch support to help reduce the tension in the Achilles tendon. Replace your worn-out shoes. If your shoes are in good condition but don't support your feet, try arch supports in both shoes.
- Stretch daily. Take the time to stretch your calf muscles and Achilles tendon in the morning, before exercise and after exercise to maintain flexibility. This is especially important to avoid a recurrence of Achilles tendinitis.
- Strengthen your calf muscles. Strong calf muscles enable the calf and Achilles tendon to better handle the stresses they encounter with activity and exercise.
- Cross-train. Alternate high-impact activities, such as running and jumping, with low-impact activities, such as cycling and swimming.

Millionaire to give $5M toward protecting DIA art and Detroit pensions; who's next?
A. Paul Schaap said he plans to meet today with U.S. Chief District Judge Gerald Rosen, who is serving as mediator in Detroit's bankruptcy case. Rosen has been trying to persuade at least 10 charitable foundations to put up $500 million to spin off the DIA from the city, which could then use the money to reduce pension cuts and improve services.

Hi all,whats the differrence of a Panavision Genesys camera and a Red one,excluding price tag that we all know Panavision is insaneely overpriced
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Genesis can't record 4k raw data to compact flash. Hug plus since you don't need a refrigerator following your camera. :)
Kunal, have you read through the RED FAQ yet? It's in my signature.
Hi kunal2,
Pros: shipping, multiple features already shot with it. Good looking image, FULL Panavision accessories integration and compatibility, HD deliverable (makes post easier), log curve (they call it Panalog, resets white to 70% and arcs/tapers it off above that level), compact form factor with recorder (integrates with SRW-1 without need or SRPC-1, which is built into camera). Also has dual link HD-SDI outputs if fully uncompressed is desired. Super 35mm sized image sensor. Panavision is a trusted name - see the long list of features already shooting on it. The name brand, and the quality that implies, clearly carries significant weight in Hollywood, as evinced by the list of projects already shot on it. Can record audio in sync with video. Single sensor CCD for cine lens compatibility.
Cons: 1080p is highest resolution, max frame rate is presently 50 fps, but can shoot variable frame rates, rental only from Panavision, limited availability (about 40 some odd worldwide right now). No mechanical shutter, and no through the lens viewfinding.
Red One:
Red One, if ships with specs as stated (YES unfair to compare shipping to unfinished, but let's just project forward a year and assume these are all still the same specs from everybody for the moment)
Pros: Can record up to 4520x2540 in data mode, purchaseable for $17,500 for the body (Viper is circa $80K I think), Super35mm sized sensor, windowable sensor, works with PL mount S35 and S16 to start with, Nikon and B4 mounts to follow for compatibility, 1-60 fps recording in 4K, 1-120fps recording in 2K w/S16 lenses, data, onboard, or HD-SDI recording options, records audio as well (at least 4 channels). Record RAW data to REDRAID, record Redcode full raster wavelet based codec to either solid state memory device or RedDrive devices (based on 2.5" SATA disk), or to any standard HD-SDI type device (if shooting HD resolutions). Shoot 720p, 1080p, 1080i, 2K, 4K, or 4.5K. Record (depending on format you're shooting) to to the above list. Purchaseable or rentable. I've seen some test images and....WOW.
PixelTv, you wrote "records 2k with s16mm lenses"
You are saying you must use s16mm lenses when recording 2k?
Kunal, it's completely normal if you still can't wrap you head around the fact that such a good professional camera like this could cost so little. That's the magic of the RED revolution. You're probably still thinking, whats the catch?
C'est incroyable, n'est-ce pas?

There's "several reasons why" you'll want to replay Metro 2033, says THQ
Producer Huw Beynon has said that despite Metro 2033 not having any multiplayer, consumers will have "several reasons" to replay the game based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's novel.

Lack of Metro 2033 for PS3 was a "business decision", says THQ
THQ's Huw Beynon has revealed that the reason Metro 2033 is not coming to PS3 was a "business decision".

Interview: Metro 2033′s Dmitry Glukhovsky and Huw Beynon
While the post-apocalyptic setting is hardly new for games, few titles are based on a wildly successful near-future novel focused on sci-fi and Russian political satire in the Moscow underground. Very few, in fact.
Metro 2033 is unique in that respect. Built closely on Dmitry Glukhovsky's book of the same name, it's the first project from Ukrainian 4A Games, a splinter company formed from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. dev GSC. The FPS looks mint, to be blunt, throwing online everything firmly out of its irradiated window, dropping the HUD and sticking to plot only.
We caught up with Dmitry and producer Huw Beynon in London last week to find out more on the novel's relationship to the game, why THQ decided to not go with a PS3 version and how Glukhovsky plans to smash international writing boundaries with an ambitious personal book publishing operation. Sterling stuff.

Comments about La Sportiva Karakorum Mountaineering Boots - Men's:
For mountaineering boots, these were a great disapppointment. As just hiking boots, they are probably great, but they are marketed for mountaineering.
From the start, these boots were extremely comfortable. Virtually no break-in was necessary, surprising for such a big, solid boot. As some others have noted, the lacing system can be annoying, but it is a minor inconvenience.
The boots also had great traction in rugged off-trail terrain and when climbing on Class 3 and harder terrain.
Unfortunately, they do not seem to actually be made for that kind of use. Less than 100 miles into use, these boots began falling apart in multiple places. They just did not appear up to handling the rough use that comes with climbing mountains.
Perhaps I just got a bum pair. Anyway, I returned these to REI for store credit. It was really disappointing since the boots look and feel great and otherwise perform very well.
Best Uses
Comments about La Sportiva Karakorum Mountaineering Boots - Men's:
These are some awesome boots, They kick steps great and after a 12 mile break hike/climb, I walked away with happy feet. Some other users complained about the waterproofness of the boot, in my experience as long as you SNO-SEAL it before a trip you should be fine. So to sum it up this is a great pair of boots and I highly recommend them to any fellow climbers.
Best Uses
Comments about La Sportiva Karakorum Mountaineering Boots - Men's:
I've had these boots since 2010 with the intent to use them for only mountaineering and ice climbing so I bought them 1 size larger than what I normally use. I thought they would probaby needed break in time and starting using them in shorter trips then longer trips in every season and all weather. Yes, they are stiff for what they are meant to be for: Mountaineering but once you use them for regular backpacking they feel extremly comfy and secure in every step you take regardless of type of terrain. YES, they are not water proof but this allows them to breath fairly well in hot weather. Before the winter season starts I coat them a few times with NikWax and I never get wet or cold feet.
In the summer I've had to hike with extra heavy wet boots due to a storm but only because I was testing their limits and I was crossing knee high creeks in a hurry before flash floods triggered. With proper maintenance and preparation these boots are the most versatile out there, for work and play.
I might get a hot spot from time to time but never on the same spot which means I tend to tie my laces in a hurry and wrong. If I expect to put a long day on the trail I just tape my feet just in case or wear liner socks.
My boots have about 500 hundred miles on them at this time (which is nothing compared to my older pair) and they will last a few thousands more before they retire. AT Thru Hike is on the agenda so I will post an update eventually.
Get them only if you want something for ICE climbing and backpacking as a bonus, otherwise you might not need such a superb pair of boots.
Best Uses
Comments about La Sportiva Karakorum Mountaineering Boots - Men's:
I wear a 12 in most shoes, and a 46 fits me like a glove, straight out of the box! These can get a little warm, but work great in AK tundra, and CO snow and slush. With a little NIKWAX, these boots withstand all the slush and moisture i could through at em. Im 6'3" 210 lbs and the full shank is perfect for me. A bit pricey, but well worth the investment, especially with REI's return policy. they run a tad wide, but have plenty of adjustment for me.
Best Uses
Comments about La Sportiva Karakorum Mountaineering Boots - Men's:
I am going to keep this short as it mirrors the negative experiences of other reviewers.
After reviewing boots for several months I decided on trying out the La Sportiva Karakorums hoping they could do double duty as a mountaineering boot with some summer trekking as well. I had read the reviews of some people saying that they leaked but the majority of reviews rated the boot very highly.
The good:
These are by far the most comfortable boots I've worn. Which is one of the main reasons I overlooked some of the negative reviews and gave them a try. The built in rocker makes for comfortable walking and the ¾ shank was stiff enough to kick into snow to get good footing. Overall, it's an awesome feeling boot.
The bad:
For the first trip out with the Karakorums I did a summit that was about a 9 mile hike consisting of anything from deep wet snow to frozen ice. The boots waterproofing lasted right around five hours before water began seeping in at the toes. Both boots failed to keep water out in the exact same spot, right next to the "big toe" on the inside leading edge of the boot. By the time we got off the mountain the inside toe of the boot was completely soaked. Even worse yet, the lining on the inside of the boot is like a sponge and will not let these boots dry out very quickly (the inside was STILL wet when I returned them to REI).
Amazingly comfortable boots with zero protection against water, and even worse will retain water for days if they do get wet.
Best Uses
Comments about La Sportiva Karakorum Mountaineering Boots - Men's:
I disagree with the poor ratings on this boot. I've hiked and mountaineered all over the Chugach range with these boots and had no issues. The first day I took them out of the box I wore them for four hours and climbed in 5 degree temps. My feet stayed dry, warm (with good patagonia socks) and blister free. I would recommend these boots to anyone.
Best Uses
Comments about La Sportiva Karakorum Mountaineering Boots - Men's:
I like these boots.
I bought these boots for a winter hike up Mt. Madison in NH this past February and to replace my general-purpose, Norwegian welt, heavy duty backpacking boots. I thought that the rocker sole (and user comments on multiple sites) would make these useable for three (fall, winter, spring) and maybe four seasons (also summer). So far, I can only comment on fall and winter use...I'll have to update after this summer.
These boots give you a good feeling of support and stability, but you don't feel like Frankenstein clomping around with concrete blocks on your feet. They have a nice narrowish outer profile (but not a narrow fit), which is good for getting your toe into tight places. They were comfortable to wear in the office during breaking and on a short hike up a rocky hill outside of Boston in the fall (Blue Hills).
These boots were great out of the box. I sized up about 1/2 size, because I wear orthotics and needed the extra space. I wear about an 11 and I ended up buying a size 45.5. I have a medium to wide foot, and they fit fine. The insoles are flimsy and need replacing, but that's probably true for many if not most boots. They did not really need a significant break-in time. I liked the lacing system, which locks down the lower portion of the foot to allow for more customized lacing. But, I did see other comments from people who did not appreciate the lacing system.
The boots can accept hybrid crampons, but I used Petzl strap-ons with no problems.
During an eight-hour day on the trail with about a 20 pound pack, the boots worked as expected. They provided all the support I needed and more. Post holing and kick stepping were fine. I liked the back heel cutout when coming down steep trails, as it made my stride more natural. We were mainly in deep snow, but walking on hard ground in town was a breeze. Good traction in loose powder and hard-pack snow without crampons.
Temps were about five degrees F most of the day, and my feet stayed warm with REI brand expedition weight wool socks and Smartwool wool liners. There was about a foot and a half of new snow, so I wore gaiters, which probably provided a little extra warmth.
The outer leather and rubber seem to resist abrasion from rock pretty good. I did not notice any problems related to durability or quality, but that's left to be seen.
Regarding the waterproof comments that others have made here, I can't really comment, since this was winter. I suspect that the comments about grit and soupy water getting into the boots might have to do with needing to use gaiters. I also suspect that these boots might be wetter in summer due to sweating, since these are pretty heavy boots.
I'll have to see what summer hiking looks like. I suspect it might be a bit warm, but it's a trade-off for the burliness and support.
Overall, I like these boots. They are definitely not a replacement for something like la Sportiva Nepal or a hard shell boot...but this boot seems like it will offer a balance between rock, ice, and snow for three-season and maybe four-season hiking/backpacking.
Best Uses
Comments about La Sportiva Karakorum Mountaineering Boots - Men's:
Sportiva Karakorum purchased Spring 2010, after long and careful shopping, for heavy-duty backpacking, scrambling, and moderate mountaineering. Used with Superfeet insoles, which worked well but I think Spenco closed-cell foam is softer and warmer. Most of this review written 10/2010, updated 1/5/2011.
I love the light weight, fit and comfort. What sold me on this boot is the rocker sole; gives a smooth fluid stride. I've never had a boot stiff enough for kicking steps in steep snow that gave me such a short break-in time; I've had none of the painful heel-pressure problems I've come to dread in a stiffer boot. Good for serious scrambling and moderate climbing, and very comfortable for working on your feet, good foot support. The boots are so comfortable that I'm reluctant to return them despite the following major issues:
I do not think this boot is suitable for wet places like the Washington Cascades. Admittedly, around here, a 'dry boot' is an oxymoron, but I have never experienced wetness like this even with worn-out Norwegian welt boots. Water cannot get out of them; the full rubber rand makes them like small bathtubs. No scuppers. The cloth liners and foam padding hold lots of water. When they're squelching wet from fording streams or walking wet brush, I can see standing water in the boots, turn them upside-down, and nothing comes out. You literally can't pour water out of these if the instructions were written on the sole. I sponge it out with my mittens or socks; it takes 2-3 repetitions.
On a 9-day trip in early September, wet weather for 7 days, mostly on-trail, my feet were constantly wet just from wet brush (with gaitors and rain pants). I had minor trench-foot numbness for a month afterwards. Not until day 8 of this trip, I developed an unusual skin rash all around my upper ankles which became quite painful [photo]. This day was steeper and often off-trail with several booted fords, so I'd tightened the uppers, and perhaps it was too much for my water-softened skin. Luckily, day 9 was easy. NOTE: I was very, very glad to have these boots at High Pass, a steep dangerous traverse with no ice axe.
The gimmicky lacing system is awkward and slow, offering no advantages over the traditional D-ring and hook system with a central locking hook. The fabric lace loops at the hinge make it very hard to disengage the locking D-rings, and they were half worn through by mid-September anyway, so I quit using them and found the boot notably more comfortable and much easier to put on/off. The locking D-ring severed the kernmantle on one of the laces in December, when it still looked brand-new. These laces are so slippery that a double knot can come undone unless it's very tight. I advise replacing them with a solid lace without kernmantle. The tight 3rd & 4th ring hooks may constrain your choice of replacement lacing, be prepared for that.
The double stitching at the top edge of the green leather at the inside ankle bulge was worn through by December, leaving over 1" of the seam wide-open on one boot. The leather itself shows almost no wear at this place.

Comments about La Sportiva Karakorum Mountaineering Boots - Men's:
These boots are wonderful. They are very comfortable due to the cutout above the ankle. The foot bed or insole is a little hard for my liking but thats an easy fix with your own insoles. They do not have a membrane such as Gortex so they are not completely waterproof. The leather used is considered waterproof but after long treks through snow, water, and slush the boots will leak. This can be prevented somewhat by waterproofing the boot with a water based repellant. These boots are great for spring, summer and fall. Winter not so much. The quality is superb. I have given these boots a whoopin and they still clean up nice after a hard years worth of use. I just bought a second pair and will leave those in the box until the others are too worn. I spent over 500 miles in these boots up and over granite, dirt, snow, water and slush. These boots will last for another couple years but I have a passion for great boots so I bought another since I liked them so much! Break in period is very minimal. I love Lowa's as well for their comfort and durability but went with these as they were highly recommended for summer boots and they feel great out of the box and beefy too!

1957 Buick Caballero
I have a 1957 Buick Caballero wagon, been out in the elements for about 15 years. Surprisingly, I think it has some parts still viable and wanted to know what kind of interest there might be.
Hey, not too bad, although the glass in the tailgate might be a problem.
Couple more picsP9050059 (2)_118909249749452.JPG500 x 375 - 65KP9050064 (2)_118909463249452.JPG500 x 375 - 67KP9050066 (2)_118909106749452.JPG500 x 375 - 63K
I am interested in this car. Where are you (it) located? Are you interested in selling? PM me. Bob.
PM on the way
Hello Burnsy, which state is it lokated? Meaby some more pictures? greeting Peter, Holland (Europe)
EarlyHemi, Sent you a PM regarding the car
Had some interest in the car but so far it hasn't panned out. PM me if you would like to talk about it.
Thanks -

There are several Buick forums at the AACA's website, at http://forums.aaca.org/ubbthreads.php . You might want to post this there, as well.
Do you still have the car? Where are you located and are you willing to part with the car ?
You can e-mail @ firstname.lastname@example.com
Jim -
Willing to deal to get rid of this car, let me know if interested. THANKS
It might we worth hazarding $15 (or whatever the fee is nowadays) to advertise it in Hemmings Motors News. If you can't find a buyer there, then you can't find one anywhere! www.Hemmings.com
Of course Ebay's cheaper but it's only up there for a week, Hemmings is month between issues. -
Have had some interest but for some reason some failure to follow through as well. I would love to see this car go to someone who will put it to good use. I think it at least has a bunch of good parts. PM if interested, willing to deal!!!
Please send me pictures of this 1957 Buick Caballero that you have.
My e-mail address is: firstname.lastname@example.com -
Please PM me the location of the car.
Thanks -

If there's anything I like less than moving, I can't think of it right now. Oh, okay. War. Pestilence. Hunger. Stuff like that. But moving isn't far behind. Even the obligatory moving cuisine of beer and pizza can't make the badness go away.We've just wrapped up moving day at the home office of Levi Strauss & Co. Many of my colleagues and I had been holed up in temporary quarters – just across the way here at Levi's Plaza – while workers fully renovated the main building.

Whether you read it in a newspaper or get it from someone "in the know," you never really know if you have the best information unless you get it from the source.Otherwise, it's like that game, "Telephone," where one person tells another, who tells another and, in the end, the facts are lost.

The call to action was simple enough – design a new way to air dry your clothes that would eliminate the need for a dryer and improve on the basic clothesline.Levi Strauss & Co. called it the Care to Air Design Challenge, and those of us here at Myoo Create spread the word – to the whole world. The only caveat to entering was that design submissions had to be innovative, covetable, effective and sustainable.

Jia Qinglin Meets with President Somsak Kitasuranont and Vice President Thiradet Miphian of the Thai National Assembly
2012/04/23 |
On April 23, 2012, Jia Qinglin, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), met respectively with President of the Thai National Assembly and Speaker of the House of Representatives Somsak Kitasuranont and Vice President of the National Assembly and Speaker of the Senate Thiradet Miphian in Bangkok. Jia first conveyed greetings from Chairman Wu Bangguo of the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress (NPC) to Somsak and Thiradet. China and Thailand, with their close blood ties, similar customs, strong cultural bonds and integrated economy, are good neighbors, good partners, good friends and good relatives, he said. Since the establishment of diplomatic ties 37 years ago, Sino-Thai relations have withstood the test of the changes in the international situation and their own domestic circumstances, with growing political trust, fruitful cooperation in the fields of economy and trade, science and technology, humanities, defense and law enforcement and good coordination on major international and regional issues. Sino-Thai relations have set a good example for countries with different social systems in the region. The Thai government firmly adheres to the one-China policy, understands and supports China's positions on the issues concerning its major national interests, which China highly appreciates. Jia made a four-point proposal to further promote China-Thailand ties. First, Jia said the two sides should strengthen high-level exchanges and keep strategic communication. Regular contacts between state leaders are a good tradition of the two countries, which also played an irreplaceable role in promoting bilateral ties, he added. Second, Jia called on the two countries to deepen pragmatic cooperation and promote common development. He said China and Thailand, with strong complementary economies and broad cooperation prospect, should fully implement the five-year plan for bilateral trade and economic cooperation, further enlarge trade and two-way investment and strive to fulfill the new trade target ahead of schedule. Third, he said the two countries should expand cultural and people-to-people exchanges so as to consolidate the foundation of their friendship. He said they should make full use of the Confucius Institute and the Chinese culture center in Bangkok to further enhance cooperation in areas including culture, education, tourism and youth exchanges. Fourth, Jia also urged the two countries to strengthen communication and coordination in international and regional affairs. Thailand will be the coordinator country for relations between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in this July. China is ready to deepen the political mutual trust and reciprocal cooperation with ASEAN, promote their relationship and east Asian cooperation and jointly safeguard Asia's stability and development, Jia said. Jia briefed the guests on the role of CPPCC, saying it is an important task of the CPPCC to strengthen exchanges, understanding and friendship with people of other countries. He said the CPPCC would increase exchanges with the Thai Senate and House of Representatives, learn from each other's experience in political participation and country governance and contribute to the two countries' economic and social development and the China-Thailand relations. Somsak and Thiradet thanked for Wu's greetings, saying Jia's visit is of great importance to strengthening exchanges and cooperation between the CPPCC and Thai National Assembly. Thailand was ready to work with China to deepen their friendship, strengthen cooperation and maintain Asia's peace, stability and development, they said. Somsak said the time-honored Sino-Thai friendship is deeply rooted and China-Thailand relations are as inseparable as relatives. Based on this special relationship, the two countries should further strengthen cooperation in areas including trade, economy, investment, infrastructure construction and culture. Thiradet said he fully agreed with Jia's proposals on bilateral ties. He said the Thai-Chinese friendship and exchanges between both peoples have a long history. The influence of Chinese culture can be seen everywhere in Thailand. The Thai people have always had deep respect for the Chinese people and have the willingness to develop relations with China. Before the meetings, Jia laid a wreath at the Statue of King Rama VII in the front of the parliament building. Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the CPPCC National Committee Qian Yunlu and Chinese Ambassador to Thailand Guan Mu attended the meetings. |

I've seen gloves like this a couple of places now, so I decided to make some of my won, just in time for Valentine's Day! Really simple and cheap – just a pair of those $1 gloves and a square of craft felt!
Can't wait to wear them out to dinner tomorrow, and I'm sure they will make the rest of "winter" more bearable with their cuteness…

This seems like it would hold all of a particular series' figs all in one, somewhat compact place. What I would have preferred would have been 16-20 separate compartments, one for each fig and possibly its accessories. And others for extras, and/or the stand-plates. To my knowledge, these started becoming available with Series 7, and I have seen them for each, up to and including 10 so far. It would have been nice to get ones for earlier sets, but I understand why they dont exist. I can definately see myself buying moe of these, as they become available.

The see through box helps to know what is inside. The box closes tight. Easy to store due to compact size.
