When Rockwell Collins launched its new Fusion avionics system on the Bombardier XRS (now the Global 6000) at NBAA 2007, I was completely mistaken about what this new avionics suite was all about. It was hardly my fault though. New products in our industry have always been associated with new stuff, new displays, radios, radars, antennas and so forth, so I naturally assumed that Fusion was more of the same, a product revamping that would take the company's already highly regarded Pro Line 21 system and give it a shiny upgrade.
As nice as that sounds, this view sold Fusion short. The new product suite, as it turned out, wasn't about products at all, but it was, rather, a new way of thinking about avionics, an architectural and systems approach that, it's no exaggeration to say, has changed the way that Rockwell Collins thinks about avionics and the way, increasingly, that its customers do as well.
The genesis of Fusion was something called Flight 2, a project that Collins did early last decade on the Air Force's KC-135 tanker program, work that found its way onto the Boeing 787 and Airbus A380 and A350.
The magic of Fusion, said Joel Otto, senior director of commercial systems marketing for Rockwell Collins, is that it is flexible, scalable and hardware-agnostic. This range of characteristics, Otto said, gives Rockwell Collins "the ability to create a range of configurations and solutions that span that spectrum of aircraft while bringing the capabilities that are embodied in [Fusion] software across those configurations relatively simply."
Just how the company arrived at this kind of architecture sounds simple in theory, especially in retrospect, but it required a companywide commitment to the new framework. "It's primarily a software-based architecture," Otto explained, "and it's a networked and modular-based system too, so it's much easier to add these building blocks in without disrupting the highly integrated system that already exists."
This flexibility in terms of hardware and scale have allowed Rockwell Collins to create wildly different-looking suites with very different feature sets and capabilities without having to start from scratch each time out. "We've gotten to the point where the software is independent of the hardware configuration," Otto said. "Our primary touch-screen displays, for instance, that we had at AirVenture and NBAA last year with embedded FMS and other avionics functions, were all Fusion, with all of its functionalities rehosted."
To make this happen, Rockwell Collins engineers migrated the software to a new hardware configuration, such as the company did with the touch displays it showed off last year and just as it has done with the version of Fusion that will soon go into existing Hawker Beechcraft King Airs as Pro Line 21 upgrades. "We've tailored [that version of Fusion] with new interfaces," Otto said, "to enhance single-pilot operation, in part by simplifying the flight management interface by making it more icon-based and more intuitive for that segment of the market," though Otto added that some of the single-pilot features are likely to "migrate" up to larger platforms over time.

Seat Covers???
I am looking for some suggestions on complete seat covers for our 05 Chev 1500 Crew Cab. I have done a search on here, not much has been said, did the ebay thing, but because I live in Canada, most of the items sold add between $50-80 to ship, on top the cost of the covers and cruised a couple of sites, but tough to tell if they are good or not.
So if there is any suggestions on brand and where to get them where I do not have to sell my child to recieve them, please let me know.

03-16-2009, 08:57 PM #3These are the best seat covers in my opinion, and they fit like a glove. They are made out of wet suit material, and are waterproof. I saw them at a Jeep trade show and thought they were pretty sweet, although they are kind of expensive! The link I have here is showing the Silverado ones, and all of the different options.

Thanks for the link
03-16-2009, 10:30 PM #5Seat covers???
The WetOkolie are real nice if your looking for good fit and almost water proof, not just water resitant. There almost like wetsuit material. If you dont care for that type of seat material look at covercraft.com. They are good qualilty and fit. Wife has on 05 Trailblazer since new with 57,000 miles with lots of getting in and out of truck and they still look good. I have the WetOkolies in all black in my 05 crewcab that has black exterior and I changed my gray carpet to black as I liked the way the black carpet is used with other colors in the german cars. Thats just me.

Glimpse inside the new GIMP
Canvas Panning
GIMP now allows you to pan out of the layer image border if you need to reach those corner places. This option is very helpful during selection and painting sessions.
Core Changes
Without a doubt, the most significant change that GIMP 2.6 introduces is the use of GEGL (Generic Graphics Library). GEGL provides a new engine for GIMP and will eventually handle all the image processing tasks. The new engine will bring GIMP back alongside the big boys of the image industry. The support for higher bit depths (16, 32, and more) is a big plus, in that it opens up possibilities of native GIMP on HDR formats like OpenEXR and HDR and in support of various color profiles with higher bit depths, such as Microsoft's scRGB. That also means GIMP can find some use in the film industry, whereas up to now, CinePaint was the only open source alternative.
Higher bit depth is not the only advantage GEGL offers. GEGL's processing is based on what is called the graph-based processing framework. One of the major advantages the framework provides is the ability to cache data changes. Caching data changes in turn allows for non-destructive editing (or layer effects, as they are called in similar apps).
Also, all filters will be processed by GEGL, which will allow better quality in some operations than does the current aging architecture. By its nature, GEGL will also provide accelerated functioning while working on larger resolution images. This might also allow faster image updates to the screen. (Note that in this release, GEGL is disabled by default because it is a work in progress. However, users can enable GEGL processing from the colors menu.)
This fresh release of GIMP shows its changing face and showcases some of the new technology that will be the mainstay of the future GIMP. This version has an improved interface, making the work of the developers, usability experts, and the interaction designers clearly visible. If GIMP continues in the same direction, happier times await.

Once upon a time I would have said integrating Gimp was a bad move. I love gimp and have a lot of scripts for converting and sizing. You tend to use individual tools of Gimp, so I have wondered sometimes should the pieces be seperated more at the GUI level, so that newer users realise that there is a lot you can do without even loading the whole program.
But actually I do like the integration, you can still script as we always did and the neater interface is nice.
But I wonder if it is as obvious to new users that there is still a lot you can do from the command line or through scripts, taks made for scripting, the old thumbnail and resized pic for your web site picture viewer. Or colour balancing enBatch.

Cake Pops
If you've been around baking blogs at all, you are sure to recognize the cake pop made oh so popular by Bakerella and her inspiring baking website. I have to admit that the first time I read the process of crumbling the cake all up and then mixing frosting into it I thought "huh?" But these ultra cute cake pops just kept popping up all over the blogsphere and it was hard to resist their charm. That being said, I still wasn't quick to pick up her Cake Pops book despite the fact that everything in it was so cute, you couldn't turn your eyes away. I have a cupcake book with quite possibly the cutest cupcake ideas ever, and still I can't find the motivation to make corn on the cob, or bunny tail cupcakes. And quite frankly, cake pops seemed like a whole lot of work. I try to avoid individually sized food of any kind.
My sister was evil though and picked up the book and we've been hooked all weekend. As in we keep making batches hooked or we don't even eat them but we still keep making them hooked. Have to admit it's a pretty fun activity when you are making them with someone else.
I won't explain the process since it's really Bakerella's to share--jump over to her site to see instructions.
AND the cuteness only gets better--we have the CUTEST of the cake pops coming up in a future post. Don't want to ruin the surprise, but I will say that Brooklyn is awfully cute, and cake pops are also awfully cute as well.
16 comments:
Ellie, Renee and Carol--they were soooooo much work but it is a fun two person activity.
Mel--they taste ok. The red velvet was better than the strawberry batch but in the end it has all of that candy coating and that tastes like white chocolate. YOu know how I feel about that. But that's not stopping the production line.
Leslie--if you were just a bit closer we'd give you gobs of them. My sis had to take a "bouquet" to both daycare and one to work so we'd have more space. ;)

"Mr. Romney ought to square with the American people and release his taxes like any other candidate." — Jon Huntsman Sr., national finance chairman of Romney's 2008 presidential campaign
Greg Sargent spoke to Huntsman:
"…in a move that could be significant, Huntsman forcefully called on Romney to release his tax returns. This matters, because Huntsman is a longtime backer of Romney — he has long been close to Romney; he supported his early campaigns; he was the national finance chairman of Romney's 2008 presidential campaign; and he has raised a lot of money for him over the years. (He backed his own son in the latest GOP primary.) "I feel very badly that Mitt won't release his taxes and won't be fair with the American people," Huntsman told me."

Abstract: This paper aims to show trends and variations in the Botswana Pula exchange rate before and after the introduction of the crawling-peg exchange rate system. The survey indicates that previous devaluations not accompanied by the crawling-peg exchange rate system were short-lived. It is shown that since the adoption of the crawling-peg exchange rate system the Pula has been depreciating. Additionally, the variance and the standard deviation revealed that variations in the nominal bilateral Pula exchange rates have been minimal since the adoption of the crawling-peg exchange rate system. To corroborate the foregoing, both the variance and the standard deviation are computed for the nominal and real effective exchange rate of the pula against major currencies using quarterly data. The findings also suggest that the variations have been minimal after the crawling peg. This is shown by small variance and the standard deviation of both the nominal and real effective exchange rates. This implies stability in the Pula exchange rate and positive results of the crawling-peg exchange rate policy regime. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1008 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The impressive performance that Botswana has achieved since gaining independence in 1966 is one of the few success stories of economic development in sub-Saharan Africa. For the period 1965-1990, growth in per capita averaged 8.4 per cent per annum. In the 1990's the country has however experienced lower average annual growth rates of about 1.7 per cent (Freeman and Lindaur, 1999). The fast growth in the 1970s and 1980s enabled the country to move from a position of severe poverty to being one of the richest in the region, and is one of the few in sub-Saharan Africa now classified as a middle-income country. Unemployment is however one of the most serious problems that the country is facing. This paper explores the issues of unemployment and employment in Botswana' economy. This paper looks at both the supply and demand side of the labour market. Our supply side analysis involves using the original 1995/96 Labour Force Survey data to understand the unemployed. Part of the process involves specifying a probit function to determine precisely the factors determining unemployment. The paper also looks at the demand for labour by various key sectors of the economy, and tries to determine the quantitative relationship between employment and its major determinants.

Abstract: This paper brings out the various theoretical measurements of poverty and looks at Botswana's performance in terms of these measures. In terms of income poverty, Botswana's poverty has been declining over time and predictions are that it will continue on the downward trend even though the reduction is not at an adequate pace to achieve the Vision 20I6 goal of zero poverty levels by 20I6. Until the advent of HIV/AIDS, Botswana was doing extremely well in terms of capability poverty as was shown by improving human development indices such as life expectancy, infant mortality, primary school enrollment and illiteracy rates. The health indices have however started to decline due to HIV/AIDS. Botswana has had a system that allows for equal participation of all individuals, even though in practice women and minority tribes are excluded from participation in decision-making processes. The paper also looks at the various poverty reduction programmes and argues that even though some of them have been successful in reducing poverty, there is a need to move away from welfare programmes that created a dependency syndrome of Batswana on government. Lessons learnt from the past programmes are useful for designing better future programmes for poverty reduction. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/993 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper examines how monetary policy was actually conducted in Botswana, by specifying and estimating a monetary reaction function for the Bank of Botswana (BoB). Basically, a monetary reaction function (MRF) for a central bank is an equation that is intended to establish the goals that have actually been influencing the actions of the central bank. A MRF would exist if the monetary authorities (or BoB in particular) have been purposeful and reasonably consistent in the policy-making process. Thus, a study of a MRF provides a test on whether the monetary policy-making process has been characterised by systematic (if it exists) or random (if it does not exist) changes in the policy instrument(s).

Abstract: Using the most recent Household Income and Expenditure Survey data (2002/2003), this paper presents current rates of return to education for Botswana. The results show that the rates of return have in general declined by one percentage point on average between the periods as shown in Table 2. If we, however, look at the averages for the different school cycles, the fall in the average rates is quite significant at about six percentage points between the periods. The biggest fall is for secondary education, especially upper secondary education, which fell by 28 percentage points between the periods. The rates of return to tertiary education, however, rose by more than 50 percentage points. Ignoring upper secondary, the pattern of rates of return has remained similar to the results of the study based on the 1993/1994 data. Rates are higher for tertiary education and lower for secondary than for primary education. This results are still consistent with rates of return generally rising with level of education. At policy level, the results continue to support sharing of costs between Government and beneficiaries or their parents especially at tertiary education level. Second, the results indicate the need for the country to continue to vigorously pursue job creation and reorient the education system from emphasis on white collar jobs.

Politico Raises Rating on MT Gov Race; Cites Hill Affair, Likely Bullock Entry as Factors
Politico now calls Montana's 2012 gubernatorial race as one of the top two most competitive governors' races in the nation, citing Rick Hill's personal problems, and the likely entry of AG Steve Bullock, as the reasons.
Amusingly, Hill is quoted in the Politico story as saying that his sordid affair with a barmaid that was documented in the press, and his abusive behavior toward his ex-wife that she spoke publicly about, are "anonymous attacks from thirty years ago" and can all be chalked up to "Democratic dirty tricks."
The Politico rating might sound like inside baseball, but it will probably have consequences within the primary. At some point, the other candidates will start talking publicly about the trash they have so far been only circulating anonymously via surrogates. And at least one candidate has several million dollars of personal dough he can dump into the race at the blink of an eye.
The story could embolden the field generally, dislodging candidates like Stapleton or Miller, of Billings and Laurel respectively, from a status of lieutenant-governor-hopefuls to full on candidates.
At a minimum, it looks like we'll have something fun to talk about over the summer.

A mobile team of MSF medics is traveling to remote villages in the unstable southeast of Central African Republic to find and treat people suffering from a neglected disease.
MSF has handed over the management of a hospital in Maitikoulou, Central African Republic, to the Ministry of Health
In this op-ed Dr. Unni Karunakara, international president of MSF, calls for increased commitment to the elimination of neglected diseases.
Decades of conflict and a lack of government investment have made it difficult for people in DRC to access even the most basic health care.
By Dr. Unni Karunakara, incoming president of MSF's International Council, and Dr. Bernard Pecoul, executive director of the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative
Over one billion people are infected with one or more of the 14 diseases defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).
More than 400 million people are at risk for the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) visceral leishmaniasis (kala azar), sleeping sickness, Chagas disease, and Buruli ulcer.
With help from a patient and national staff, Kathryn Sisterman, a U.S. nurse on her first assignment with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in northern Central African Republic (CAR) developed a song to teach people about human African trypanosomiasis, also called sleeping sickness or trypano. Here, she describes how the song came to be.
Geneva/Kampala, September 22, 2009 - NECT (Nifurtimox-Eflornithine Combination Therapy), the first new treatment in 25 years against Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) or sleeping sickness, is now available. Endemic countries have now begun the process of ordering the new combination treatment and kits through the World Health Organization (WHO). Developed by DNDi and its partners, NECT cuts the cost of treatment by half and significantly reduces the burden on health workers. The announcement was made today at the International Scientific Council for Trypanosomiasi Research and Control (ISCTRC), in Kampala, Uganda.
Half a year after Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) were forced to abandon its project in the northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) due to the security situation, it is still not safe to return. Meanwhile, infection levels of sleeping sickness, which was a main focus of MSF's activities in the area, are on the rise and many vulnerable people are at risk to the fatal disease.
"Since we left, at least 1,000 people have died of sleeping sickness in the region. It is unacceptable. We cannot stand here with our arms crossed and let people die that way. As soon as the situation allows, MSF will go back."
A new treatment has potential to make a difference in the fight against sleeping sickness. The fatal parasitic disease, which has ravaged Africa for decades, is causing thousands of deaths each year and has been spreading from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) with refugees and displaced, who are fleeing from conflict and do not have access to proper treatment.
"Violence has never stopped, it has always been present. Sometimes it is the result of the political conflict between the government and armed groups and sometimes it is different: banditry or intra-community conflicts."
Geneva/New York, May 15, 2009 – A new treatment option for sleeping sickness, a fatal disease that threatens 60 million people across sub-Saharan Africa, has been added to the Essential Medicines List (EML) of the World Health Organization (WHO). The inclusion of NECT (Nifurtimox-Eflornithine Combination Therapy) is based on an application submitted by the non-profit Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi), supported by the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and Epicentre, MSF's epidemiological research center.
Geneva/New York, February 23, 2009 — MSF and the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) called today for more sustainable funding for research and development (R&D) to tackle deadly, yet neglected diseases, such as sleeping sickness, visceral leishmaniasis, and Chagas disease, that affect millions of people around the world.
New Orleans, Paris, Geneva; December 9, 2008 – Positive results from a pivotal, multi-center, multi-country Phase III trial investigating an improved treatment for the advanced stage of sleeping sickness were presented yesterday at the 57th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. This trial shows conclusively that NECT is a safe, effective, and practical treatment.
Atlanta, November 15, 2006 — Preliminary results from a study conducted by the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) show that significantly shorter and simplified treatment of African sleeping sickness (human African trypanosomiasis — HAT) could be possible in the near future. Announcing the study today at the 55th annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in Atlanta, the organization stressed that measures must be undertaken to ensure that this treatment can be used as soon as possible at country level, and that older, toxic treatments are phased out."
Human African Trypanosomiasis, also known as African Sleeping Sickness, is a fatal and much neglected disease that continues to plague parts of Africa. The drug most commonly used to treat the disease is so toxic that it kills one in 20 patients. While a better drug exists, it is too complex to use in resource-poor settings. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), sleeping sickness has made a disturbing comeback over the past few decades.

Rea looking for London lift-off
London Broncos coach Tony Rea is hoping his side's stunning win at Salford City Reds can kick-start their season.
The Broncos, who broke their duck and lifted themselves off the foot of the Super League table with a 38-4 rout of the City Reds a week ago, seek to make it back-to-back wins when Hull KR visit the Twickenham Stoop tomorrow evening.
Rea had been expected to turn the Londoners into play-off contenders after masterminding four wins from their last five matches of 2012 and he did not panic when they began this season with four straight defeats.
"It's been coming," he said. "We've been holding it together. We didn't do anything different, we just improved, we did some things a lot better.
"We did some things with a bit more clarity and I'm really pleased about that.
"There has to be more. Everybody is getting that bit better.
"The confidence was there and hopefully this has given them bit a more belief."
Hull KR also made an inauspicious start to the season but they will go into tomorrow's round-six game in buoyant mood after becoming the first team to beat title favourites Warrington Wolves.
However, the Robins are without second rower Dale Ferguson after he was recalled by Huddersfield Giants and they will go into the game without both first-choice hookers.
With Josh Hodgson having picked up a one-match ban and Lincoln Withers breaking a toe in training, coach Craig Sandercock will give a first start to former Bradford Bulls and Huddersfield nine Keal Carlile.
"I just want a full squad to pick from," said Sandercock. "At the moment we're still juggling a few injuries and one or two of the boys copped a few knocks last weekend.
"Josh Hodgson was also charged with a grade B offence and Dale Ferguson has returned to Huddersfield which is disappointing as he's done well for us and we'd have liked him here for another month.
"Having said that, we always knew this could happen so we'll just work around it."
Former Batley winger Alex Brown keeps his spot after making a tryscoring debut in Sunday's 26-12 win over the Wolves, along with Australian stand-off Travis Burns, who has been identified as a major threat by Rea.
The 29-year-old former Penrith Panther, recruited as a straight replacement for departed countryman Blake Green, was forced to sit on the sidelines for the first month of the season as he completed a 12-match ban carried over from the NRL.
"It was definitely worth the wait," said Rea. "I've seen a lot of him and I like the way he plays.
"He's a good player and a good competitor, I've lot of time for him."
Tomorrow's match will mark the 150th appearance for the Londoners' Australian utility back Luke Dorn.
The 31-year-old Dorn is in his second spell with the club, having first made his debut in a 28-24 win over Warrington at Brentford on February 13, 2005.

BOSTON ( MainStreet) Another academic year has begun, and if you (or your child) need a good set of wheels for college or high school, here's a look at Kelley Blue Book's five top picks for Best 2013 Back-to-School Cars.
KBB editors compiled the list by looking at all available 2013 and '14 models starting at $20,000 or less, then choosing the cars they believe offer the best combinations of style, safety and other qualities key to young drivers.
"These models are all affordable and have good fuel economy and they have good cabin technology, which is that's obviously important to [the younger] generation," KBB Managing Editor Jason Allan says. "We also know that young people want to drive something that looks cool, or at least semi-cool."
Allan says most cars at the top of KBB's list have hatchback versions available, "which means you can pretty much move an entire dorm room in what are otherwise small cars."
He adds that all of KBB's top picks have some trim lines that offer 40 miles per gallon or more on the highway, making them great choices for students with little gas money.
Click below to check out KBB's choices for the best back-to-school vehicles available among 2013 models or those 2014s already on dealers' lots. All dollar figures refer to the manufacturer's suggested retail prices for each car's base version.
Fifth-best back-to-school car: 2013 Honda Civic
Base price: $17,965
Honda gave its flagship Civic an unusually extensive update for 2013 after critics and consumers panned a 2012 complete redesign, and Allan says young drivers will love the revamped model's added technology.
For instance, the 2013 Civic comes standard with Pandora radio and voice-activated text messaging, which many rivals offer only as options.
The base Civic coupe also comes standard with manual transmission and a 140-horsepower four-cylinder engine that combine to produce a good 28 mpg/city and 36 mpg/highway (optional automatic transmission adds 3 mpg to highway mileage).
There's also a $19,745 Civic HF sedan that gets 29 mpg/city and 41 mpg/highway and a $24,360 Hybrid Civic sedan that offers 44 mpg/city and 44 mpg/highway.
Whichever version you choose, Allan says the Civic's long-standing reputation for reliability will serve any college kid well. "The last thing you want to deal with when you're away to school is car trouble," he says.
Fourth-best back-to-school car: 2013 Mazda Mazda3
Base price: $16,700 ($16,945 for a 2014)
KBB editors give a big thumbs up to both the 2013 Mazda3 and a redesigned 2014 version that's hitting Mazda dealers' showrooms now.
"Whether you get a 2013 or a 2014, the Mazda3 is really a standout in the under-$20,000 category," Allan says. "We really like its looks and more importantly, it's just so much fun to drive."

Our School Board did the tax payers a great disservice by not competing the position and getting the best quality applicant.
I guess it's a good thing you are living abroad and not having to deal with it.

WHAT IS VIRTUAL REALITY: The term "virtual reality" is often confusing because it is used in so many different ways. It is often used to describe interactive software programs -- on or off the Web -- in which the user responds to visual and auditory cures as he or she navigates a three-dimensional environment on a graphics monitor. But originally, it referred to immersive virtual environments, in which the user would be immersed in an artificial, three-dimensional computer-generated world, involving not just sight and sound, but touch as well through so-called "haptic" devices. Touch is vital to direct and guide human movement, and the use of haptics in virtual environments simulates how objects and actions feel to the user through biofeedback processes. This is critical for performing virtual surgery as part of medical training, for example.
ABOUT THE SPINAL CORD: The spinal cord is the longest nerve in the human body; it is a bundle of nerves that carries electronic signals to and from the brain to the rest of the body. The brain and spinal cord together constitute the central nervous system. The spinal cord is surrounded by rings of bones called vertebra, which make up the spinal column (back bones), and the vertebra are named according to their location. Spinal cord injury results when damage to the spinal cord leads to a loss of function, such as mobility of feeling. Where the damage occurs determines what parts of the body are affected by the injury. Generally, the higher in the spinal column the injury occurs, the more dysfunction a person will experience.
The American Industrial Hygiene Association, The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report.

8 Meetup Groups match "Dive Bars & Pubs" near Pleasanton, CA
We love the Mission! We love dive bars! We meet every second Friday.
There are no upcoming Meetups.
I started this group because the only thing better than watching the Bears win, is watching the Bears win surrounded by fellow fans! Cheap drinks and free food are nice too! I want the group to meet up at a bar called Dirty Trix and enjoy all of the above, as well as Bears oriented field trips and pools.
Meet other apocalypse sci fi lovers over drinks at various cozy bars in the city! Each month we will read a book with an apocalyptic setting picked by either the organizer or voted upon by members. P.S.: TO THOSE WISHING TO ADVERTISE THEIR BOOK/MOVIE/ETC - please reach out to the Organizer before mass mailing my list. I 9 out of 10 won't be bothered, but I can guarantee I will entirely dismiss whatever you are selling if you don't reach out to me first. Thank you.
There are no upcoming Meetups.
Our mission is to try ALL the bars in SF and beyond! Hopefully with a discount :) Join us on this EPIC Journey starting this fall!
This group is for friendly whisky drinkers who want to get out and connect with new friends, see the city and test the limits a bit. No pretense here: this is meant to be a down to earth, whisky drinking group. Expect meet ups to be focused more around dive bars with good whiskey selections. Live music is a definite plus too! I live in the East Bay and will try to hone in on some places there as well but I'd expect much to take place in the many whisky bars spread across SF. Enjoy!
Meetup details are available only to members.
As you get older, do more and more of your friends just want to stay home at night? In a committed relationship but still love the nightlife and meeting new people? Love sophisticated, beautiful interiors but also enjoy a dive bar now and then? Enjoy good wine, high-quality beer or well-crafted mixed drinks? Feel left out of all the cocktail meetups for singles? Join us! Don't drink alcohol? No problem. This is more about enjoying the scene and conversation not just booze. Every bar has non-alco …
There are no upcoming Meetups.
Come on, admit it: you've always loved puzzles, word searches, rebuses, acrostics, crosswords, sudokus, trivia quizzes … Well, it's time to put your expertise to work, solving my fiendish collection of puzzle-based clues ... after the lights go down. :) Every two weeks or so, we'll gather in a lively Bay Area neighborhood (hunt master's choice) from 7-9 pm and solve clues, collect objects, discover cool public art and historic signage) visit dive bars, and compete for silly, nominal prizes. Brin …
OK, so you live in the suburbs, but you're not quite dead yet. You still want to meet new people and you still want to go out on the occasional Friday night (or god forbid, a random Tuesday night) and you still want to have a drink, socialize and listen to a little live music (remember when you used to do that?). But you don't want to drive to Oakland or San Francisco. So where do you go, right? This Meetup is about finding some great restaurants, pubs, wine bars, dive bars, etc. and have some n …

The Pinecrest farmer's market will operate under new management starting Nov. 3, and some vendors are concerned about the changes that will follow.
The market runs year-round on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and sells goods from handmade soaps and candles to organic dog food. It attracts about 2,000 people per week during the busiest season, from December through April.
The market is now switching hands from The Market Company Inc. (TMCI) to The Green Market Co-op, a non-profit organization created by Gigi Gimenez and Susan Muci, who have been vendors at the market for the past two years.
The co-op is requiring that all vendors have insurance, use biodegradable bags, pay booth rent in advance and use a shuttle bus to travel from the parking lot at Pinecrest Elementary School, 10250 SW 57th Ave., to Pinecrest Gardens, 11000 S. Red Rd.
"It started very reasonable, now it's ridiculous," said Floyd "Flip" Camp of Flip's Country Kettle Corn, who has been a vendor at Pinecrest for four years. "They're price-gouging everybody."
The feud can be traced to the city's decision in 2012 to raise the rent it charged to TMCI from $1,000 to $1,400 per week. The village says it raised the rent because the number of vendors had grown from the 40 allowed under the contract to 65. But the company passed the village's rent increase to vendors, who complained to the village. The Village Council responded by seeking a new management company.
The co-op agreed to pay the higher rent and to lower the vendors' rent.
While TMCI charged $80 to $100, the co-op is charging $60 in November, $75 in December through April and $45 in May through October. They also said produce vendors will be charged only $25 year-round.
But the co-op generated new complaints from vendors. For one thing, the new organization was short on cash and asked vendors to pay their rent in advance.
"We are $22,000 short after giving the produce vendors that discount,' said Gimenez, who started the co-op with Muci this summer.
Yet vendors like Flip don't like the idea of paying in advance.
"Don't come to me and say 'I got the bid, but I need money,' and then say that the spot I want, I have to pay for in advance," he said.
Other vendors don't like the new insurance and biodegradable-bag requirements
Bob Kasselakis has been selling Greek gyros with his wife Fotini at the market for three years. He said they are not returning because of the new rules.
"We have nothing against the new management. It's good to have some rules, but with too many, we cannot work," he said, referring to the biodegradable bags he must purchase and the shuttle bus he needs to take. "If Pinecrest finds someone else, we will stay, but for the new people, we are not going to return."
Gimenez said vendors can buy bags in bulk to save on shipping costs, and the cost of the shuttle will be included in the rent.
"We'll work with you, except from what is law and what's in our contract," she said, adding that all vendors — particularly produce vendors who have never needed insurance under TMCI – must be insured.
Gimenez said she is willing to work with the vendors to help keep them at the market.

pbs_mom [-C chkdirectory] [-c config] [-d directory] [-h hostname] [-L logfile] [-M MOMport] [-R RPPport] [-p|-r] [-x]
The pbs_mom command starts the operation of a batch Machine Oriented Mini-server (MOM) on the local host. Typically, this command will be in a local boot file such as /etc/rc.local. To insure that the pbs_mom command is not runnable by the general user community, the server will only execute if its real and effective uid is zero.
The first function of pbs_mom is to place jobs into execution as directed by the server, establish resource usage limits, monitor the job's usage, and notify the server when the job completes. If they exist, pbs_mom will execute a prologue script before executing a job and an epilogue script after executing the job.
The second function of pbs_mom is to respond to resource monitor requests. This was done by a separate process in previous versions of PBS but has now been combined into one process. The resource monitor function is provided mainly for the PBS scheduler. It provides information about the status of running jobs, memory available etc.
The last function of pbs_mom is to respond to task manager requests. This involves communicating with running tasks over a tcp socket as well as communicating with other MOMs within a job (a.k.a. a "sisterhood").
pbs_mom will record a diagnostic message in a log file for any error occurrence. The log files are maintained in the mom_logs directory below the home directory of the server. If the log file cannot be opened, the diagnostic message is written to the system console.
Specifies the impact on jobs which were in execution when the mini-server shut down. With the -r option, MOM will kill any processes belonging to jobs, mark the jobs as terminated, and notify the batch server which owns the job. The -r option is mutually exclusive with the -p and -q options.
Normally the mini-server is started from the system boot file without the -p or the -r option. The mini-server will make no attempt to signal the former session of any job which may have been running when the mini-server terminated. It is assumed that on reboot, all processes have been killed.
If the -r option is used following a reboot, process IDs (pids) may be reused and MOM may kill a process that is not a batch session.
The configuration file may be specified on the command line at program start with the -c flag. The use of this file is to provide several types of run time information to pbs_mom: static resource names and values, external resources provided by a program to be run on request via a shell escape, and values to pass to internal set up functions at initialization (and re-initialization).
Each item type is on a single line with the component parts separated by white space. If the line starts with a hash mark (pound sign, #), the line is considered to be a comment and is skipped.
For static resource names and values, the configuration file contains a list of resource names/values pairs, one pair per line and separated by white space. An Example of static resource names and values could be the number of tape drives of different types and could be specified by:
If the first character of the value is an exclamation mark (!), the entire rest of the line is saved to be executed through the services of the system(3) standard library routine.
The shell escape provides a means for the resource monitor to yield arbitrary information to the scheduler. Parameter substitution is done such that the value of any qualifier sent with the query, as explained below, replaces a token with a percent sign (%) followed by the name of the qualifier. For example, here is a configuration file line which gives a resource name of "escape":
Specifies that the available and configured disk space in the <FS> filesystem is to be reported to the pbs_server and scheduler. To request disk space on a per job basis, specify the file resource as in, qsub -l nodes=1,file=1000kb. For example, the available and configured disk space in the /localscratch filesystem will be reported:
An initialization value directive has a name which starts with a dollar sign ($) and must be known to MOM via an internal table. The entries in this table now are:
$pbsclient fred $pbsclient wilma
Two host name are always allowed to connection to pbs_mom, "localhost" and the name returned to pbs_mom by the system call gethostname(). These names need not be specified in the configuration file. The hosts listed as "clients" can issue Resource Monitor (RM) requests. Other MOM nodes and servers do not need to be listed as clients.
$restricted *.ibm.com
$logevent 0x1fff $logevent 255
$cputmult 1.5 $cputmult 0.75
$usecp *:/home /home
$auto_ideal_load t-0.2
$node_check_interval 0Disabled $node_check_interval 0,jobstartOnly $node_check_interval 10,jobstart,jobend
$rcpcmd /usr/bin/rcp -rp $rcpcmd /usr/bin/scp -rpB
Directory creation and removal is done as the job owner and group, so the owner must have write permission to create the directory. If the directory already exists and is owned by the job owner, it will not be deleted after the job. If the directory already exists and is NOT owned by the job owner, the job start will be rejected.
$varattrseta $varattrsetb
Resource Monitor queries can be made with momctls -q option to retrieve and set pbs_mom options. Any configured static resource may be retrieved with a request of the same name. These are resource requests not otherwise documented in the PBS ERS.
The health check script is executed directly by the pbs_mom daemon under the root user id. It must be accessible from the compute node and may be a script or compiled executable program. It may make any needed system calls and execute any combination of system utilities but should not execute resource manager client commands. Also, as of TORQUE 1.0.1, the pbs_mom daemon blocks until the health check is completed and does not possess a built-in timeout. Consequently, it is advisable to keep the launch script execution time short and verify that the script will not block even under failure conditions.
If the script detects a failure, it should return the keyword Error to stdout followed by an error message. The message (up to 256 characters) immediately following the Error string will be assigned to the node attribute message of the associated node.
If the script detects a failure when run from "jobstart", then the job will be rejected. This should probably only be used with advanced schedulers like Moab so that the job can be routed to another node.
TORQUE currently ignores Error messages by default, but advanced schedulers like moab can be configured to react appropriately.
If the experimental $down_on_error MOM setting is enabled, MOM will set itself to state down and report to pbs_server; and pbs_server will report the node as "down". Additionally, the experimental "down_on_error" server attribute can be enabled which has the same effect but moves the decision to pbs_server. It is redundant to have MOMs $down_on_error and pbs_servers down_on_error features enabled. See "down_on_error" in pbs_server_attributes(7B).
pbs_mom handles the following signals:
All other signals have their default behavior installed.
If the mini-server command fails to begin operation, the server exits with a value greater than zero.

The sign language interpreter at Tuesday's memorial service for Nelson Mandela who interpreted the words of speakers including President Obama for the deaf, was a total fake.
According to experts and people in the deaf community, the man was apparently signing the equivalent of gibberish.
Deaf American actress Marlee Matlin told CNN Wednesday, "It was almost like he was doing baseball signs. I was appalled."
He couldn't even sign Mandella's name!
Now, security questions are coming up: how he was hired, how did he get so close to so many world leaders?
A spokesman for the ruling African National Congress said the party had not hired him for the event ~ although they'd used him previously on some occasions. The South African government was reportedly investigating.

After abandoning his post with Sophie, Avery drove to Dr. Lewis's veterinarian clinic and pulled up to the back entrance. He made a very polite, very menacing phone call to the proprietor while his partner sat in the backseat with Apollo's head in her lap. She seemed incapable of following protocol; he'd reminded her three times to call the incident in to the Operator before she'd picked up her phone.
Miles would want to know. He wasn't just a recruiter any more than Sophie just played with computers or Avery just enjoyed target practice. Depending on who you met, Miles was a brother, an uncle or a father. He was the heart and brains of the organization, and everyone knew it. Even the police knew it, which was why an untraced call to the Operator that would take hours to transmit would have to suffice for the bad news.
Avery waited, his gun cocked, and listened to the highway's hum echo over from the Epstine Marshall Exchange. As the metal door cracked open, emitting a sliver of bright light into the darkness, he thought that the road out of Rochester had never seemed so far away. Avery leveled his gun at the veterinarian and watched the older man freeze on site, his muscles tensed for the anticipated shot.
And that was the problem with card holding citizens, thought Avery with a grimace of disgust. They're all afraid of their shadows.
"What's the word?" he called out the window.
"We don't have time for this shit," hissed Sophie from the backseat. With her silent vigil, he'd almost forgotten her presence.
"Allergies," responded the man in a quavering voice, his eyes still closed tight.
Avery holstered his gun and stepped from the vehicle, glad to be free of the combined stench of urine and blood coming from the backseat. The alley, however, was no better. Night air pressed down heavy, combining garbage and animal stink with the various odors of the city itself. The result was a soupy air almost too foul to breathe.
The man scurried into action, seemingly immune to the noxious odors of the street as he carried half the burden of Apollo's dead weight. The two men moved slowly, heaving the body between them step by step over slick cobblestones to the small gurney waiting inside the door. It was too small to hold the young man's lean form; his limbs dangled over the edges as they wheeled him down the corridor.
Avery followed the small gurney while Sophie moved the car. The sterile room they entered was lined with stainless steel counters and unidentifiable equipment mounted on rolling racks. They set the body down, and then the veterinarian rolled Apollo onto his side. Human stench caught Avery hard, and he stepped back involuntarily; he'd seen what happened to men too weak to control their gut.
He hovered uselessly while Dr. Lewis cut Apollo's bloody shirt away and prodded his torso for internal bleeding. The wiry man assembled monitors, scalpels and oxygen tubes designed for canines without glancing at his observer.
"How bad?" he finally managed to ask.
"Too weak for anesthesia," the vet answered without looking up.
Avery nodded at the confirmation of his suspicions. Truthfully, Apollo probably wouldn't feel it anyway. His face was nearly unrecognizable beneath the blood and swelling, though Avery had never seen him before anyway, and he would have needed a medic even without the stray round. At most the man would whimper; he was sure there would be no screams tonight.
Avery left before the scalpel had a chance to test his faith and found Sophie sitting in the half-empty kennel. She didn't understand either, he saw. On the drive over, when he'd worked up the stomach to ask who Apollo Passos was, she had responded simply. He was the shadow of Hesiod.
Avery shivered now at the thought. The man was young, his face hardly one to be mistaken for a murderer's, but everyone in the Family felt his protective presence like a woolen blanket to ward off the dead winter. He was a ghost, a man whose touch dropped men and women with fearsome impartiality and faded into darkness again without a trace, but he was their ghost. In the old days men might've hunted, marked, cursed and denounced him as evil, but the embodiment of death could never die; he was immortal, and he kept the wolves at bay.
At least, he wasn't supposed to die, thought Avery, his eyes on the bloodstains spotting the hem of Sophie's shirt. He wasn't sure anymore. If shadows could die, maybe men could, too.

Natural gas rig counts may have hit a 10-year low but does that really mean that gas production will fall significantly enough to avoid a storage crisis? Reuters News reported that, "the number of rigs drilling for natural gas in the United States fell by 18 this week to 613, data from oil services firm Baker Hughes showed on Friday. Horizontal rigs— the type most often used to extract oil or gas from shale — fell by 16 to 1,139. Oil rigs fell by 9 to 1,328."
Yet the Energy Information Administration says that when it comes to gas if you are getting liquids you are less likely to cut back production. The EIA says that combined marketed natural gas production from the top five natural gas producing states of Texas, Louisiana, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Colorado actually increased by about 7.5% in 2011, although their share of total U.S. natural gas output fell slightly to about 65% they show that marketed natural gas production from these states in 2011 totaled 15.7 trillion cubic feet (Tcf).
The EIA says that the drop in the top states combined share of total U.S. production reflects increased contributions from other states, particularly those in which operators significantly expanded development of shale gas formations. Shale gas production from states such as Pennsylvania helped boost overall U.S. natural gas output by almost 8% in 2011.
Due primarily to drilling programs in the Marcellus shale formation, Pennsylvania's marketed natural gas production in 2011 more than doubled to nearly 1.3 Tcf, according to preliminary estimates from Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection. Arkansas has also seen strong growth in its marketed natural gas production, with output more than tripling since 2007 due mainly to increased production in the Fayetteville shale play.
The EIA says that Alaska is the country's second leading natural gas producer in terms of gross withdrawals, but most of the state's production is not brought to market, as production volumes far exceed local demand and there is insufficient pipeline capacity to transport the gas to distant markets. Most of Alaska's natural gas not brought to market is re-injected into existing oil fields to provide sufficient pressure to maintain oil production rates.
The EIA highlights from the top marketed natural gas producing states in 2011:
Texas: Natural gas production increased 4.5% from the year before to the highest level since 1980, due in part to growing output from the Eagle Ford shale formation where drillers who are aggressively pursuing high-value liquid hydrocarbons are also producing growing amounts of natural gas.
Louisiana: Natural gas production increased 38% as the Haynesville shale gas formation in the northwest part of the state was one of the biggest shale gas producing plays in the United States.
Wyoming: Natural gas production fell 5.6% to the lowest level since 2007, as lower natural gas prices made coal bed methane gas that accounts for almost two-thirds of the state's natural gas production less profitable because high-priced gas liquids aren't normally found in coal seams.
Oklahoma: Natural gas production increased 3.9% to the second highest annual output since 1994 due to higher output in the Woodford shale play.
Colorado: Natural gas production grew about 1.4% as output increased for the 25th year in a row to break another record output high. The Niobrara shale play in the northeast corner of the state helped raise Colorado's natural gas production.
Reuters News reported that U.S. exports of refined petroleum products beat imports by more than a million barrels per day in February as high prices crimped the domestic gasoline demand while the country's refiners shipped record volumes of diesel abroad, government data showed. The United States exported a net 1.014 million bpd of refined fuel in February, a whopping 1,778% increase from a year earlier, the EIA said in its monthly petroleum supply report. Distillate fuel oil exports of 785,000 bpd in February were the highest for the month on records going back to 1945.EIA changed the method it used to calculate gasoline exports in August last year.
