So if I understand correctly, when the active redolog in /opt/zimbra/redolog/redo.log gets big enough, it's moved to /opt/zimbra/redolog/archive/
Then when an incremental is run, the contents of /opt/zimbra/redolog/archive/ are moved/copied into the redolog directory inside the current incremental session directory.
Now I'm noticing two things on my system after an incremental.
- The last redolog in /opt/zimbra/backup/sessions/incr-<date-seq>/redologs/ is still in /opt/zimbra/redolog/archive/
- They're separate files, you can tell by inspecting their index numbers with ls -i.
So I'm wondering:
- Why isn't the redolog moved instead of copied?
- If there's a reason to keep it in both places, why isn't it hardlinked?
Granted, hardlinks can't traverse filesystems, so if /opt/zimbra/backup/ is on different filesystem, a simple ln won't work. But you could instead doBenefit: when backup and /opt/ are on the same filesystem, the incremental is less expensive, takes up a little less space, and (most important) if someone is rsyncing redologs and backups in one command, the rsync will be faster/less bandwidth-intensive.Code:
ln /opt/zimbra/redolog/archive/foo /opt/zimbra/archive/tmp-foo
mv /opt/zimbra/archive/tmp-foo /opt/zimbra/backup/sessions/incr-<date-seq>/redologs/foo
rm /opt/zimbra/archive/foo
As things are currently, you should still be able to speed up rsync using some scripting with some combination of --compare-dest, --copy-dest, and/or --link-dest, but that's messier than it ought to be.


text: Well this is my finished map. It goes to a story that I am writing and is in the heart of a forest that I am calling (tentatively) Forest of Shadows. This was done after a lot of reading and research. I learned a lot by following the tutorials of RobA and others. This map is a direct result of layers, Blur, Noise and Mosaic....did I mention Layers? It was the layers that played the biggest part in the maps creaton. The path around the village is done with a mixture of brown and grey (Most of the colors used are from a pallet that I got from RobA's Gimp Tutorial) and then by using a small mosaic tile. The Forest itself is done with the brush that was already included in gimp.....sorry the building are also a brush I picked up from one of RobA's tutorials.

Beaconsfield neighbourhood
Your neighbourhood
Local priorities
The following priorities have been identified by the community and the police:
- Burglary. Burglary as a whole is a traumatic experience for all its victims and as such Thames Valley Police have made it a force priority. The Neighbourhood Policing team will play its part in combating burglary and will carry out pro active crime reduction operations in areas that via analysis and local knowledge are deemed vulnerable to this type of crime. Roads that wil be focused on will be Candlemass Lane and Cherry Tree Road.
- Anti Social Behaviour. Areas in both Holtspur and the Old Town Beaconsfield have been identified as areas of Anti Social Behaviour. The Neighbourhood Policing Team will continue to work together with our partner agencies, youths and residents to tackle this. By the use of engagement, diversion, problem solving and the appropriate use of current Anti Social Behaviour legislation we will continue to build on the good work that has seen a reduction in this type of crime over the past year.
- Speeding. Several roads have been identified by the local community as areas that are vulnerable to speeding. The 3 roads being focused on at the moment are Baring Road, Gregories Road and Burkes Road. Together with volunteers the Neighbourhood Policing Team use a hand held Speed Indicator Device to monitor the traffic on these roads as well as carry out laser speed enforcement operations. By working with the community and local agencies we aim to increase awareness and therefore reduce speeding as well as share information with other agencies that could be used to introduce road calming measures if appropriate.
These are being dealt with by your neighbourhood policing team in partnership with residents and other agencies. Progress will be reported in the Neighbourhood updates.

PCC in the News
News: Pasadena City College's Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium Is New Home for Millard Sheets Mural
Pasadena, Calif., - Pasadena City College's Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium's East Entrance is the new home for the much-beloved 1963 Millard Sheets mural, Tournament of Roses, 1890. The recently installed piece was dedicated today by Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard who thanked PCC for housing the 75 ft. mural.
In 2012, the mural was removed from display inside a local bank building on Colorado Boulevard and conserved by the artist's son, Tony Sheets, who was integrally involved in finding its new location. About the artwork's new home, Mr. Sheets said "It looks wonderful. It was hard to find a space long enough to hold a piece of this size. The City and PCC chose the space together."
Sheets, who has essentially become the gatekeeper of his father's art, worked with artist, Nick Brown, to restore the mural. Sheets said, "It is a real thrill. We brought the richness back that had faded a great deal. I remember when my father painted this piece in his studio in Claremont with (the late) Susan Hertel, the co-artist who was one of his former students, and a graduate of the art department of Scripps College. I saw the piece when it was originally installed. Dad would be very pleased that there is so much respect for his work and that it is being reinstalled where people can see it."
Joe Futtner, Associate Dean, PCC School of Visual, Media and Performing Arts, says "On behalf of the visual arts programs at PCC, I am very pleased that we are able to dedicate this piece immediately adjacent to our new Center for the Arts."
Rochelle Branch, Cultural Affairs Manager for the City of Pasadena describes the process of relocating the art. "Serendipitously, two city staff persons had accounts at the bank where the piece was only partially visible to the public and interacted with bank staff about the mural when they learned the bank was removing the art. The Cultural Affairs Division of the City of Pasadena was able to identify an interest in retaining the mural in Pasadena and, through the bank, subsequently contacted Tony Sheets, to begin the successful negotiations for a donation. We were very interested in keeping this piece in Pasadena."
History of Tournament of Roses, 1890
In 1952, Howard F. Ahmanson Sr. and California artist Millard Sheets formed a partnership. Ahmanson, owner of several savings and loans, approached Sheets, a nationally recognized artist, and asked him to design buildings and artwork for the banks. Over 33 years, Sheets designed more than 40 buildings for Ahmanson's companies, most notably Home Savings and Loan. To adorn the interior and exterior walls, Sheets also created murals, mosaics, and stained-glass windows, always with a local theme.
For Pasadena, Sheets painted a mural of the first Tournament of Roses Parade for the former branch on Colorado Boulevard. After years of display inside the bank building, the mural was conserved in 2012 for future generations through a partnership with Pasadena City College. On January 23, 2014, Tournament of Roses, 1890 was installed in honor of the Mayor's 2014 State of the City Address and the Grand Opening for PCC's new Center for the Arts.
The impressive mural, which dates from 1963, consists of 20 oil painted panels on walnut veneer that reveal an historical narrative of the first Tournament of Rose Parade in Pasadena. Containing unique, Pasadena-specific content, the artwork also showcases the style and technique of its artist, Millard Sheets. The installation depicts the earliest days of the Parade in Pasadena and features images of participants in late 19th century attire in horse-drawn carriages and on horseback as they proceed along a backdrop of iconic Pasadena landmarks including City Hall, parade floats, and marching bands.

Examining Big 12 team; hoops news
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The views from here:
"Don't you find that odd?" said the reader with the funny-but-not-printable handle. "Not even 1 [WVU player]?"
My answer: Just a smidge. I studied the list. I tried to make cases for Mountaineers. And I almost struck out.
Go ahead. Take a stab.
Perhaps the first name you'll point to is free safety Karl Joseph.
There's no question Joseph has the potential to be on the Big 12 team. As safeties coach Tony Gibson told me, "The film [of Joseph] speaks for itself."
In regard to his 2016 class, Joseph is rated as the No. 5 NFL free safety prospect, according to NFL Draft Scout. But remember, Joseph will be just a true sophomore this coming season. More importantly, he was a member of a secondary that was No. 118 of 120 nationally last year in pass defense. That's simply not going to cut it with the beat writers who selected the team.
Tackle Quinton Spain? His competition was too tough. Among linemen not a center named to the Big 12 team, Baylor's Cyril Richardson is the nation's top-rated guard and the others - Kansas State's Cornelius Lucas, Texas' Trey Hopkins and Texas Tech's Le'Raven Clark - are all top 16 or above NFL prospects at their positions in their respective classes.
Suggesting defensive lineman Will Clarke wouldn't be out of line. At times he was dominant last season, especially in the second half of the Oklahoma game. But which All-Big 12 player do you take off? Devonte Fields of TCU was a beast last season, earning first-team post-season honors as a freshman. Jackson Jeffcoat of Texas is likewise a stud.
Isaiah Bruce? Nah. The kid had a terrific season for a freshman, but needs to become a better tackler. Besides, there are only three linebacker spots on the Big 12 first team. At this point there are more than three league linebackers better than Bruce.
Which leaves us with the best Mountaineer candidate who did not make the cut: running back Charles Sims, aka the league's newcomer of the year.
If you check out NFL projections, you'll see Sims ranked No. 2 to USC's Silas Redd among senior backs for next season's draft.
The bad news for Sims is he's projected as a third-round pick. Baylor's Lache Seastrunk, a junior and the Big 12 preseason offensive player of the year, is a possible first-round pick two years from now. Or perhaps next year.
The opening, however, is at the other running back slot. Sims could very well be paired with Seastrunk as a first-team selection. Instead, the beat writers went with Kansas State's John Hubert. That's understandable because Hubert was a first-team All-Big 12 pick after last season. Sims hasn't played one down yet in the league.
Still, that's the one Mountaineer who could have, and perhaps should have, made the cut.
It seems he's cautiously optimistic and mentioned the possibility of starting three guards next season.
A very plausible starting lineup could include Eron Harris, Terry Henderson and Juwan Staten. Huggins could get two of his better shooters - Harris and Henderson - on the floor at the same time and allow Staten to handle the point.
If, however, either of the two shooters, more likely Harris, can handle the point guard duties, Huggins would be free to add another big man to the lineup.
The coach will almost certainly start transfer Jonathan Holton and freshman Devin Williams. If Harris and/or Henderson can handle the point guard duties, Huggins could also insert shooting big man and junior college transfer Remi Dibo or, if he qualifies, strong, athletic Elijah Macon.
That would seem to be the goal.
Huggins' assistant Billy Hahn was in Cross Lanes this past Monday. A topic that came up was the summer work being put in by state product and new Mountaineer Nathan Adrian.
The last time we saw Adrian in Charleston, he was playing for Morgantown High and having an off night in the state basketball tournament against South Charleston. I wrote he needed strength, better control of his emotions and, probably, a redshirt season at WVU.
Hahn, however, gave a glowing report of Adrian, who has been working with strength coach Andy Kettler. "He looks like a different player," Hahn said.
Huggins agreed. "He's shot the ball well in the two hours a week we've had him," said the coach. "He's played pretty well."

Committee investigating complaints of irregularities in referendum on Islamist-backed charter. Newspaper: War over the constitution's legitimacy has begun
Published: 12.24.12, 15:04 / Israel News
Egyptian judges were investigating opposition accusations of voting irregularities on Monday before declaring the result of a referendum
set to show that a contentious new constitution has been approved.
Related articles:
The opposition, a loose alliance of liberals, moderate Muslims and Christians, says the document is too Islamist, ignores the rights of minorities and represents a recipe for more trouble in the Arab world's most populous nation.
A tally by the Muslim Brotherhood, which lifted Morsi into the presidency, indicated a 64 percent "yes" vote, although only a third of the 51 million eligible Egyptians took part. An opposition count was similar, but they said the ballot had been marred by abuses in both rounds.

Featured Student – Alea Gardner
Hello fellow eDCSD families. My name is Alea Gardner, I'm a junior in high school currently living in Zhuhai, China with my parents and younger brother. This is both my brother and my first time doing home school/online school. Never in my life would I have expected to be so incredibly grateful for the amazing flexibility it allows me. For the past few months my mom and I have had the awesome opportunity to volunteer at the local orphanage. I am able to commit my time both to school and these unique children whom I am so blessed to have encountered. We are in the continual process of learning Chinese, exploring our surroundings, and making friendships with the locals. Our everyday lives are an adventure from going to the market to taking the public bus. The items we have learned here, the worldly knowledge we have experienced, and the surreal experience we get to call our lives has been such a blessing. Without online school most of this would not be possible. I am extraordinarily grateful for the staff and all of the help they given us. This truly is a remarkable school and I am so glad to be a part of it and look forward to continuing through next year.

Fraunhofer Institute for Nondestructive Testing IZFP
Design FluxCrawler
© 2012, Dr. Jochen Kurz, Dr. Klaus Szielasko, Fraunhofer IZFP
The testing of wire ropes by magnetic flux leakage testing is common practice. This particularly applies to cable cars, lifts and cranes. Here, after the rope is exposed to a magnetic field the flaw stray fields are measured. The measurement is carried out e. g. by coils, wherein the movement of the cable through the coil (or vice versa) is assumed (that is, the coil must envelop the rope tightly), or by magnetic field sensors (e. g. hall sensors).
In the building industrie tension absorbing elements ropes of different design (diameter, surface coating) and bundling are applied. Therefore, test systems which have to envelop the rope are only used in rare situations and in a limited range of diameters. Moreover, in many cases, no exact location of the angular position of the flaw is possible.
Inspection of Ropes and Tension Wires
At Fraunhofer IZFP, within the Fraunhofer-Carnot project "FilameNDT" (partner: IFSTTAR, Nantes, France) a flux leakage inspection system was developed which can operate battery-driven and in contact technique rope surfaces. Testable rope diameters are between about 4 cm and 20 cm. Controlled by long-range Bluetooth with a PC, the system scans cylindrical surfaces by revolving the rope once. On the rope surface it moves by a caterpillar-like movement over a defined distance. The computer creates a picture of the stray magnetic field over the entire surface of the rope. Due to the caterpillar movement of the crawler slip is small, so that the accurate retrieval of striking positions is ensured. Unlike existing systems, the FluxCrawler sticks at a wire because of the magnetic attraction force and don´t require to include the it.

Hey everyone, I had a lecture for my extended project which I will be doing, and our deadline for an initial project title is next Friday. You don't want your project to be too broad or narrow, but it has to be achievable- and it has to be a 5000 word essay. I want to do something along the lines of the UK economy from a certain period up until the present.The two starting periods which I can't decide upon are 1929-present,as you can include the effects of the depression etc, however will this be too much? Or dates such as 1951-present? Need help all you historians and economists!! And is there any books or guides which will help?
Thank you,

Lt. William Calley stood before a Kiwanis Club meeting the other day and apologized for the My Lai massacre [also: 1, 2]. Reading the article, I take it as a sincere apology and a real expression of regret, though I understand how the prosecutor who tried Calley felt, too:
William George Eckhardt, the chief prosecutor in the My Lai cases, said Friday he was unaware of Calley ever apologizing before. Eckhardt said that when he first heard the news, "I just sort of cringed."�"It's hard to apologize for murdering so many people," said Eckhardt, now a law professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. "But at least there's an acknowledgment of responsibility."
And while I would have liked to hear a more unequivocal statement from Calley, I have to say I appreciate his long silence and the modest setting for his first public discussion (since his trial) of his actions at My Lai. He should no go back to being quiet, as silence from him is the only adequate response. Two things: In order to live with myself, I have to believe in the possibility of redemption, of turning away from evil, in others; also, he was in fact a scapegoat: Colin Powell, Captain Ernest Medina, and others were equally responsible for the murders of Vietnamese civilians at My Lai. This second point does not lessen Lt. Calley's responsibility, but it puts it in context. So, I accept his apology, at least provisionally. The effects of his actions continue to ripple outward through the histories of both Vietnam and the US and, paradoxically, out of evil some understanding can emerge.
But what I really wonder about is that "standing ovation" the Kiwanis gave the aging William Calley. What was that about? When I was in high school, before the My Lai massacre, some of us graduating seniors were given dinner by the local Kiwanis and then lectured by a congressman about our duty to be "patriotic," which was framed in terms of supporting the Vietnam war. I got up and left. (I didn't wait for the standing ovation.) Were the Kiwanis who listened to Calley applauding his courage for admitting he committed murder in their service? That seems unlikely to me. Were they subtly applauding the murder, excusing it? Perhaps that is too harsh a judgement. I suspect they were applauding their own sense of relief: Well, that's finally behind us. Maybe William Calley believes he can put it behind him and in a sense he can, by keeping quiet and doing good. To the Kiwanis, I'd say: Don't let yourselves off the hook so easily. Lt. Calley served in your army — in our army — and he acted in our names; so, while, yes, the event is behind us, it is still there. The murdered are still murdered. Going forward, that is what we bear.

By CNS Staff |
The University of Dallas was the setting for a recent conference of Catholic admissions officers seeking ways to better collaborate and promote best practices that strengthen the Catholic identity of their institutions.
The three-day conference ran from June 2-4 and was co-sponsored by The Cardinal Newman Society and the University of Dallas (UD). The conference featured several talks from leaders in Catholic higher education on the admissions process as seen through the lens of strong Catholic identity.
"The admissions officers from many Catholic colleges have been meeting regularly via our conference calls for several years, but this is the first time that they were able to meet in person," said Bob Laird, the director of programs for the Society.
After welcoming remarks by Thomas Keefe, president of UD, and Dr. John Plotts, vice president for enrollment management and student affairs, history professor Dr. Susan Hanssen delivered the keynote address on "Articulating the Catholic Intellectual and Moral Tradition."
Hanssen acknowledged that Catholic college admissions directors are "the most important people in higher education today. The colleges that you are working at are by and large dependent upon tuition."
The admissions staff, she continued, are the "first educators at a university." They are the first ones to tell the parents about the curriculum. "What you are doing is enlivening the market…educating the market into existence."
Other presentations included "Marketing the Value of a Liberal Arts Education" by Robert Heil, senior vice president at RuffaloCODY, and "A Sound Communications Plan as an Effective Recruiting Tool" by Peter Helgesen, dean of admissions at Benedictine College, and Adam Wilson, communications director at the Newman Society.
The schedule also included one presentation on financing a college education by UD's Plotts and another on effectively training students to lead campus tours by Arthur Ortiz, assistant vice president for enrollment at the University of St. Thomas in Houston.
"Throughout the conference, the attendees experienced kindnesses and courtesies from the staff and faculty at the University of Dallas," said Laird. "Everywhere we went, it was very clear that the University is enthusiastically Catholic."
Each day began with Mass at the Dominican priory on campus and one day featured a quick trip downtown for dinner via the DART rail system, which has a stop within the University of Dallas campus.
Attendees left the conference with a sound understanding of the issues that they can work on throughout the year as they identify and develop best practices that strengthen the Catholic identity of their institutions.

text: County Employees Committee Moves Bill to Allow County Employee Pay Increases By Ashton Marra • Feb 21, 2014 Ashton Marra / West Virginia Public Broadcasting A Senate committee Friday approved Senate Bill 379 to remove a salary cap for county employees, if the county finds they have the funds. Originally the bill required a 12 percent pay raise, but it was amended to ensure lawmakers weren't passing an unfunded mandate. "We are not voting for an increase for elected officials. We are lifting a cap in which they can work with their own money. So, this is no state money," Sen. John Unger said during the meeting.

Kastner, R. E. (2011) The New Possibilist Transactional Interpretation and Relativity. [Preprint]
|Microsoft Word - Draft Version
Download (348Kb)
A recent ontological modification of Cramer's Transactional Interpretation, called "Possibilist Transactional Interpretation" or PTI, is extended to the relativistic domain. The present interpretation clarifies the concept of 'absorption,' which plays a crucial role in TI (and in PTI). In particular, in the relativistic domain, coupling amplitudes between fields are interpreted as amplitudes for the generation of confirmation waves (CW) by a potential absorber in response to offer waves (OW), whereas in the nonrelativistic context CW are taken as generated with certainty. It is pointed out that solving the measurement problem requires venturing into the relativistic domain in which emissions and absorptions take place; nonrelativistic quantum mechanics only applies to quanta considered as 'already in existence' (i.e., 'free quanta'), and therefore cannot fully account for the phenomenon of measurement, in which quanta are tied to sources and sinks.

Is it a myth that cycling develops calves?
I have gleaned a strong association between a cyclist and his/her legs, particularly the calves. People seem to get their initial impression of a cyclist's level or years of commitment by how developed his/her calves are. "Look at his calves - that dude must be a serious cyclist." or "look at his puny calves - must be a beginner."
I have been riding several times per week in the last few months, so I figured I must be getting a good calf workout -- enough, at least, to partially substitute for weights. Well, the other night I went to the gym and I worked out my legs with weights for the first time in several weeks, and now my calves are SORE. My muscles do not get sore with regular workouts though -- only when I have let a muscle group go idle for a few weeks or more. If cycling is such a good workout for the calves, then why are my calves sore after a mild calve workout?

Khloe Kardashian Shows Her Support For French Montana
June 06, 2014 05:00 PM by Lisa Princ
Oh why won't Khloe Kardashian just admit to her Facebook and Twitter fans that she and French Montana are a couple? There really is no denying it, as the couple were spotted out together, yet again, looking very cozy!
Things just keep heating up for Khloe Kardashian and French Montana, as the pair were snagged buying jewelry together recently, and rumor has it that Montana can't stop spoiling Khloe with gifts. And though the couple have not admitted that they are dating, it is obvious every time they step out together. More recently, Khloe and French were spotting at Jennifer Lopez's concert getting cozy, according to Hollywood Life.
And Kardashian not only got to see Lopez perform, but she was actually there to support her new beau when he took the stage. "She looked so proud. She was all smiles while he performed and just danced along to his music," one eyewitness said of Kardashian at the concert. After the concert, Khloe took to social media to share some photos of herself and Montana, along with some friends, with the caption: "My rockstar, my only star, my North Star." We can only assume that she is referring to Montana.
Rumor also has it that French is planning something massive for Khloe's birthday at the end of this month. We can't help but wonder what it could be? Now if they would just admit that they are a couple, fans would be thrilled.
What do you think about French Montana and Khloe Kardashian? Do they make a good couple? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it. Comment below to share your thoughts.

The common thread here is that we've always thought of servers asbusinessmachines. With the exception of a few hardcore geeks and technical writers (not that the two designations are mutually exclusive), having a server in your home seemed, well,excessive. What home needs the power of a server? What home can afford the expense of such a high-end device?But then a funny thing happened: times changed. All those one-computer households suddenly became two-, three-, and even four-computer households; broadband became nearly ubiquitous, and of course every family member wanted a piece of the new pipe; we began digitizing our media en masse, and we wanted to share that media with other members of the family and with other devices scattered around the house; and we discovered wireless computing and became addicted to working and playing anywhere we wanted. The result has been an explosion of home networks over the past few years.However, it didn't take long for amateur network administrators to learn something that their professional counterparts have known for many years: the larger the network, the more you need some device in the middle of it all to coordinate activities and offer a central repository for data. And our home networks have started to become quite large, with multiple computers, multiple devices such as wireless access points and network attached storage drives, and increasingly massive files, from multiple-megabyte digital audio files to multi-gigabyte digital video files. Suddenly we, too, needed a powerful machine in the middle of it all to keep things humming.It helped significantly that extremely powerful computers had became extremely inexpensive, but one big problem remained: a server computer needs a server op

On Black Friday at about 2am, Stephanie and Mario convinced me to attempt to get cheap TV's. I had been wanting one. So, I ventured out into the Freeezing cold, half asleep and slumped into the car. (Thank you Steph and Mario for driving to Sunnyvale. I wouldn't have gone otherwise, for fear of falling asleep at the wheel. I was that tired) The cold woke me right up! And we had quick bite at Denny's and went to scout out Both Sunnyvale and Mountain View Targets, and the Mt. View Walmart. Well, the NEW Sunnyvale Target had the shortest line, so, we decided to get in that one. It's bigger, and newer. So, my thought was more merchandise. Maybe? eh. Well, we got in and, no one walked away with a new TV, because they went fast, and we didn't have the maps telling us where they were (not in Electronics). BUT, I did get a $3 Crockpot, and $3 Coffeemaker. So, I still win. 🙂
After going to bed at 7am, and waking up at about 2pm. I decided to put my tree up! I wasted no time. Really, I was tempted to put it up the night before Thanksgiving. Anyhow, I got it up, minus a section towards the bottom. Yeah, I had to leave out about 2 feet. I should have measured my ceilings before assuming a 9ft tree would fit. Oh well. Fortunately Jeremy got off work just as I was struggling with and helped me get it together.
Just as I had finished getting it up Laura, John, and Ryan came over after their busy day of shopping and Donating. A special treat, since it meant that I had a helper for decorating my still huge tree! Ryan and I spent most of their visit placing Ornaments on my tree. And it looks Awesome, if I do say so myself.

It's Hard to Heed the Experts When Your Kid Has the Cold
The runny nose started in the morning. By bedtime, a cold had settled in my 3-year-old son's chest, and a deep, hacking cough could be heard throughout the house.
At 1 a.m., my wife gave me the look that said: "You're a doctor; do something."
That day, she had heard that an expert panel recommended to the Food and Drug Administration that cold medicines be banned for kids because they work no better than sugar pills and shouldn't be used in children younger than 6. Facing a sleepless night, though, we debated our options. Should we medicate him so we could get some shut-eye, or should we ride it out? We opted for the safe-but-noisy course.
When your child is up in the middle of the night with a hacking cough, how easy is it to withhold medicine? Share your thoughts in an online forum.
Next thing you know, he's in the bed between us, coughing every two minutes with what seemed like all the muscles in his body. At 3 a.m., the racket woke the dog. My wife took the boy downstairs to rock him in the recliner.
By dawn, Dr. Mom had reached her limit. A dose of combination cough-and-cold medication was soon down the hatch.
After the recommendations against over-the-counter cold medicines came out, we heeded them for less than 24 hours in our house. Once my sick son took the medicine, his sniffles and coughing abated a bit. His symptoms returned later that day, after we discontinued the treatment. Our experience showed that whatever mild benefits these medications offer, they don't last long.
The risks with cough-and-cold medication are clear. If you don't know your phenylephrine from your acetaminophen, you can deliver more potency than you had intended by unknowingly combining products with similar ingredients and confusing chemical names.
Overdoses of medication occur all too often; the FDA has linked over-the-counter medicines to 123 pediatric deaths since 1969. Most of the fatalities were in children younger than 2.
Although experts say cold-and-cough medications don't work in kids, the estimated $2 billion in sales of these products each year suggests to me that at least a few people are finding some value in them. But it may be for reasons you wouldn't think of right away.
Parents often believe they are targeting cold symptoms with these medications, when what they are really doing is sedating the child. Sedation and the potential to depress breathing represent dangerous sides of these medicines.
We all want safe and effective treatments for our kids, but we're finding out that our old way of doing things isn't as safe or effective as we thought it was. Back in 2000, we had to give up the old formula Dimetapp Elixir we used with our older kids because the phenylpropanolamine in it was linked to strokes in young women. The reformulated product never seemed to dry up their noses as well as the original did.
Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed is a brand name) has been linked to strokes, too, but it is still on the market as a decongestant. This medication is being replaced in products by phenylephrine, which doesn't dry a runny nose up as well as pseudoephedrine does.
About 800 cold-and-cough products are on the market, and nearly all are combinations of the same handful of ingredients. The main difference is the marketing.
Nothing available is completely safe or particularly effective for kids. Mothers I have talked to were surprised to learn that their kids' cold medications hadn't been tested extensively. Because the old medications are familiar, we sometimes assume they are safer and more effective than they really are.
Another problem is that the alternatives aren't all that great. If you have ever tried to clear an infant's nose with a suction bulb, you know what I mean. The safety and effectiveness of nasal suctioning hasn't been studied any more than the cold medication. Someone's kid is going to choke on too much nasal saline or have an allergic reaction to the latex in the bulb syringe.
Using a cool-mist vaporizer never seemed to help any of my kids, although I see that recommended frequently. Some parents are fans of Vicks VapoRub and similar substances applied to the skin or put in a vaporizer. In my practice, I have seen such products trigger asthma attacks. That is on par with or greater than the risk from over-the-counter cough suppressants, as far as I am concerned.
The crackdown on cold medicines for kids may have an unintended benefit for me. With infant cold medications off the market, I won't miss the parents calling in the middle of the night for recommendations on how much to use. I won't miss meticulously documenting how many tenths of a milliliter I advised a person to give or the liability risks associated with my advice.
My new answer is simple: "It's just a virus, and, unfortunately, there is no safe and effective cold medication on the market that I can recommend to you."
At my house, though, I have found that the advice to hold off on a kid's cold medicine is much easier to give than it is to heed.

SEASON OF CAMBODIA Festival Lights Up New York City's Cultural Scene, April-May 2013
New York City will host more than 125 artists from Cambodia for a major celebration of Cambodian arts, culture, and humanities when Season of Cambodia lights up the city's cultural landscape in April and May 2013. Distinctive works from master and emerging artists and scholars-in ritual, music, visual arts, performance, dance, shadow puppetry, film, and academic forums-will be presented by 30 of New York's most renowned arts and educational institutions, marking an unprecedented city-wide partnership initiative to celebrate one of the world's most vibrant and evocative cultures.
Season of Cambodia will run from Saturday April 6 to Friday May 31, 2013, with opening ceremonies scheduled to coincide with Cambodian New Year on Saturday, April 13. Leading cultural and educational institutions as varied as Asia Society, BAM, Works & Process at the Guggenheim, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Parsons The New School for Design, Mark Morris Dance Group and Arts Brookfield will participate in Season of Cambodia.
This historic collaboration featuring pioneering artists and organizations from Phnom Penh and Siem Reap comes at a critical moment in Cambodia's artistic revival. Only one generation ago the Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979) set out to eliminate the artists and intellectuals who comprised Cambodia's flourishing artistic community; as many as 90 percent of them died. As a "living arts" festival, Season of Cambodia will serve as an international platform that not only promotes opportunities for cultural and artistic expression in a country where half of the population is under the age of 25, but also helps pave the way for long-term partnerships between members of Cambodia's burgeoning arts community and pre-eminent artists and cultural institutions in New York City.
Season of Cambodia is an initiative of Cambodian Living Arts, a non-profit organization based in Phnom Penh and the U.S. founded in 1998 by artist and Khmer Rouge survivor Arn Chorn-Pond. Once focused on the critical task of preserving endangered artists and traditional art forms in the country, Cambodian Living Arts today collaborates with Cambodian artists and organizations, serving as a catalyst to help develop and foster arts in Cambodia.
"When I first returned to Cambodia in the 90's after the Paris Peace Accord, my friends and I were finding master teachers living on the streets- poor, weak, without food and basic health care," said Chorn-Pond, whose efforts to preserve his country's oral traditions have been chronicled in the PBS documentary The Flute Player and in the recent book, Never Fall Down (Balzer & Bray/HarperCollins Publishers), which was recently nominated for a National Book Award. "The work that Cambodian Living Arts and so many other partner arts organizations have done over the past 20 years has been to rescue and preserve the traditions of these great masters, to pass on the art forms, and to train the younger generations so that Cambodian arts and culture can continue to thrive."
"Moving forward from the initial urgencies of rescuing and preserving Cambodian arts," Phloeun Prim, the Executive Director of Cambodian Living Arts and Season of Cambodia says, "we're now engaging with some of the most important and pioneering arts organizations in Cambodia. The energy and commitment of our partners on both sides of the world has been simply overwhelming, and I look forward to this truly international collaboration which is sure to have long term impact on the growth and development of the arts in Cambodia for generations to come."

03/14/2008, Suledup (aka Isla de Oro)
We had a relaxing breakfast aboard today and enjoyed the tranquility of Carreto bay. Some Kuna came by to get a look at us and say Bueno Dias. We have not seen any women out on the canoes, only men and boys. An older man and a boy came by offering Avocados for sale. They were huge. Hideko purchased four, each of which made some tasty guacamole.
We ultimately invited them aboard for a glass of water. They ate some grapes we offered with quite a bit of interest, as if they had not seen such fruit before. They pocketed the seeds indicating that they would try to plant them. They were also interested in acquiring some magazines so we gave them a few older sailing mags. I wondered if the chief would be ok with westerners spreading propaganda in such a way, but they wanted our Panama Cruising Guide originally which I just couldn't part with. They were both very polite and courteous.
Margaret had noticed that our port jack line running under the bridge deck was loose. I jumped in to check it out and it seemed to have been rotted away in the middle with the aft section completely missing. These lines are great for pulling yourself along the boat as you scrub the waterline or what have you. The port line was always a little longer than the starboard line and would get wet unless the water was flat. I can only assume that it just gave in to the sea as it didn't look to be cut. Definitely on my list of things to fix.
We decided to get going around 1 in the afternoon. It was a nice day to sail but our sailing was upwind. We slowly tacked up the coast at 6 or so knots in 10 to 12 knots of apparent wind.
I was struck by the amount of plastic trash floating about. I don't think I have ever seen a coastline with so much junk in the water. This whole area is amazingly beautiful in all other ways. I suppose if you make everything from natural objects like trees, plants and rocks you're used to being able throw anything into the ocean without recourse. I worry about what it will be like in ten years though and wish I had made it here ten years ago, before the trash and anchoring fees.
The Kuna people are rich in culture and there is no real concept of poverty. That only comes in when people begin to want things. I have seen people with much more than the Kuna who are certainly in the poverty bin. The Kuna we have met all seem happy, content and rich in the most important ways.
Many Kuna villages in the southeast are traditional blending in with the environment. There are many on islands as well. Some (as pictured) seem to overflow the shores. The great thing is that they denude and build out to the waterline on one island but leave those around them (as pictured) completely pristine.
We didn't get far today in our trip up the coast but it was a relaxing sail. We decided to put in at Suledup after consulting the navigational aids. Our charts of the area are medium scale and good for planning but not close in to shore. The Navionics electronic charts are in the same bucket. Both have huge areas that simply say "unsurveyed". The BauhausGuide is the indisposable gem here.
The Panama Coast is very rocky and reefy and there are lots of hazards about. The detail, accuracy and coverage Bauhaus provides makes getting around a lot safer. The Guide also sets out many anchorages not found in other references.
We crept up around the reefs and islets to the south of Suledup, Isla de Oro on the DMA chart. We saw 7 feet idling through some of the reef breaks but once inside it was a really nicely protected harbor with about 20 feet of water. An American trawler was already anchored inside. You could have probably squeezed another two boats in but it was nice with two.
We had sailed all day with overcast skies so the batteries needed a little boost. We ran the genset and played dominoes for an hour or two after sunset and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings.
03/13/2008, Carreto Bay
The boat was in passage-making mode so we were ready to make way after a half hour of prep in the predawn. We motored out of the anchorage favoring the east side of the harbor in the moonless dark. By 06:30 we had rounded the island and the southwest shoal, making way for the southern end of Panama. We saw a couple of well lit fishing boats out and about.
It was a cloudy day but we had a nice close reach with the wind in the low teens and the seas just aft of the beam the whole way.
As we closed on the Panama coast we noticed the clouds thickening over the mainland. A friend we met in Cartagena had told us that often the outlying islands will be sunny while the mainland is getting drizzled on. We were certainly finding this to be true. The whole area seems a bit cloudy this time of year but the mainland is always a few notches more cloudy and rainy on the scale.
The crew had selected Carreto Bay as our first landfall. I have still not gotten used to picking anchorages that I have never seen before from the chart with total exposure to the east. I guess a year and a half of anchoring in the lee on the west side of islands will do that to you. Here everything comes from the north. Maybe north east or north west, but north just the same.
Carreto Bay is a large bay with an easy in and out fairly close to the southeastern most extent of the Caribbean coast of Panama. A very traditional Kuna Indian village sits at the back of the bay with some huts lining the hill above. They have no TV, radio, motors, cameras, video or power here.
We anchored at about 18:00 in the anchorage described by the Eric Bauhaus Panama Cruising Guide. The guide had been very useful in planning our travels through the San Blas. It will be interesting to see how well it matched up to the actual.
Our first encounter with the Kuna folk took place as we were setting the anchor. There were several dugout canoes in the bay fishing and what have you and as we arrived a couple made there way over to get a look at us. It was strange and wonderful to be in such a foreign environment.
We exchanged waves and hellos/holas with the people in the canoes as they glided by with their hand carved paddles. Once we were settled a new canoe arrived and seemed to have business to do. I greeted them, it was a friendly group. They spoke Kuna and a very small bit of Spanish. I of course spoke English and a very small bit of Spanish.
When it became obvious that we were not going to get far verbally they handed me a receipt. It was for anchorage fees of $10US. I must admit that this first interaction with the Kuna did burst my bubble a little. Margaret counseled me to look at it as a park fee which made it a little easier to swallow.
As the sun set I wondered if electric lights would come up in the village. Nope, a few fires here and there but otherwise nothing but darkness, just as it would have been many years ago.
03/12/2008, Isla Fuerte
We got up at 05:30 to get the boat ready for an 80 something mile run to Isla Fuerte off of the south coast of Colombia. We wanted to go out the south Cartagena entrance, Boca Chica, so that we could see all of the forts built throughout the harbor.
I have never seen more forts built around a single area. The Boca Chica pass has a good sized fort on both the north and south point. Many of the forts and walls have been painfully restored making them that much more impressive.
We were told to check in with the Coast Guard and the harbor master on the way out. We hailed the Coast Guard a few times but received no response. The harbor master answered right away and was very friendly. After being cleared to exit we passed several cargo ships and left a large cruise ship to starboard at the sea buoy on the way out.
The sail to Fuerte was fairly eventless. It was great having Margaret and Em aboard to help crew the boat. Em was in good practice and Margaret is just a great sailor. Unfortunately I made everyone lattes on the way through the harbor and somehow all of the girls (and Roq as well) went to sleep shortly after finishing them. Maybe I shouldn't be using the Venezuelan beans in Colombian waters, I don't know.
We got in to Isla Fuerte just before 17:00. The approach was easy. A boat boy tried to intercept us but he didn't speak English and we ended up trying to ignore him although it was almost impossible. I was having unpleasant flash backs of Saint Lucia. I gave him a beer anyway but he didn't seem thankful.
Fuerte is fairly well populated and is a tourist destination of sorts. The anchorage is a small bay on the south side of the island protected from the west through the north, north being the direction the wind generally blows from in this neck of the woods. There are exposed rocks on the west side. The east side seems to provide a clear passage into and out of the anchorage and we saw no hazards clear of the rocks and shoal to the west.
There were three other boats in the anchorage enjoying themselves ashore, where we hear there are restaurants and bars. We had another long day tomorrow with nearly 90 miles still to go to the San Blas, so we enjoyed dinner on the boat and hit the sack early.
03/11/2008, Old Town
We spent our last day in Cartagena exploring old town again but we also visited three places that we didn't want to miss. The first was Fort San Felipe. This fort is a huge stone structure just outside of old town. It is the largest defensive complex built by the Spanish in the new world and there are miles of tunnels under the fort, many that you can explore. You get great views of the entire area from the battlements.
We also stopped by the Naval Museum. While interesting I wouldn't shot myself if I missed it next time. The architecture of the building is impressive though. Almost every where you go in Cartagena the building inspire reverie.
Our last stop was the Gold Museum. The Gold Museum was fun and had lots of gold artifacts from pre Colombian Colombia (?). My favorite part was the tangential film they show about the flood plains of the Rio Magdalena and other major rivers in Colombia and how the ancient peoples mastered the swelling rivers during rainy season with complex canals allowing agriculture to go on unhindered.
We ate dinner back at Club Nautico while we waited for Manfred to stop by with our clearance out (zarpe). We now had Margaret and Em on our crew list. I filled out forms while the girls went to the grocery store. My only request was fresh milk so that we could have lattes in the morning. They got it but it came in a bag. I had seen plastic jugs, paper cartons and even boxes but this was my first bag of milk.
After wrapping up with Manfred we made our way back to the big boat and began stowing things for sea.
03/10/2008, Cartagena
The officials in Cartagena require an agent for clearance into Colombia. In our case we needed to clear in today and out tomorrow so that we could depart for the San Blas the day after. We used Manfred as our agent (there are two available) and he did a fine job, driving us to immigration so that we could expedite things.
The immigration office is in the old part of town situated in the former governor's mansion. It was a fantastic building and an ad hoc beginning to our tour of old Cartagena. From the mansion we headed out to the heart of the old town for some crepes and ice cream. The store, Crepe and Waffle, was very nicely appointed and had good food and very good deserts. We took a walk along the ramparts that surround almost the entire area on both sides of the bay. It was great to be able to read about the rich history of Cartagena and see the remains of things from hundreds of years ago.
We took a horse drawn carriage ride around town and walked through some of the huge old churches. Some of the hawkers are a little aggressive in the squares but in general the Colombian people are wonderfully courteous and friendly. There is a lot to see in old town Cartagena and as night fell we were just getting started.
Our friend Peter on Seeyamana was having a birthday party tonight so we made our way back to the marina. Cabs between most points of interest are only two US dollars so it is cheap and easy to get around. Back at Peter's we enjoyed some wonderful food and company. It is always a treat to mix and mingle with new cruiser acquaintances and share stories and information.
We dinghied back to Swingin' on a Star after a full day but ready to hit it again tomorrow, our last day in Cartagena.
03/09/2008, Cartagena
To quote myself, "It all peaks around Baranquilla were the massive Rio Magdalena dumps out into the Caribbean. The mixing of fresh water, salt water, currents, wind and the occasional log swept out from the delta makes for some interesting and steep waves."
I pulled down detailed weather for the area early this morning. It looked like, if we could clear Baranquilla by noon that we would be in the mid twenties missing the 30 something stuff that starts honking in the afternoon. Winter is just tough here no matter how you slice it.
The other choice was staying in the Santa Marta/Five Bays area until Wednesday. The problem with that plan is that forecasts always come true, you just may need to wait a few months for the results to match up. I'm not getting down on the forecasters, it's just that local affects are really hard for someone thousands of miles away to predict and macro weather is not useful in an area like this where local effects predominate. That and the fact that the farther out a forecast is, the less reliable it is, caused us to take the bad conditions early today in lieu of the really bad conditions this afternoon or the possibly moderate, possibly no change, conditions in a few days.
As we sailed out across the bay the wind quickly built into the high twenties. My best guess is that the waves built into the 10 foot range and we frequently saw bigger. This kind of seaway can be tiring for the helmsman because you feel the need to keep an eye on the waves coming at you most of the time. You could probably just put the boat on auto pilot and go to sleep but you feel the need to keep an eye on things, taking a shallower course down the wave faces when the big ones come along. It was a blue sky day which made things nicer.
As we approached Baranquilla the wind and waves intensified getting into the force 8 zone. We spotted the distinct line of brown water spilling out from the Rio Magdalena. The effluent covers a huge area this time of year. I can't imagine what it must look like during the rainy season. The Sailing Directions say not to worry about the brown water. Again I picture how substantial the floating debris and seas would need to be before a 700 foot steel hull cargo ship cares. Long after we are caring a great deal I would imagine.
The problem is that unless you are going to sail to Cartagena via Panama you simply can't avoid the area, it's too big. So off we surfed into the brown. I've never gotten wet on our boat before but twice the tops of big blue waves had broken on the quarter and sent a splash my way. No solid water but still a good soaking. I was hoping that the brown stuff wouldn't make it aboard.
As nasty as conditions were the brown water seemed to hold together a little better. Perhaps there was more surface tension, I'm not sure, but it seemed the brown stuff broke less at the crests. All the same my third and final drubbing was nice and brown.
We had also never had things fly about inside the boat before. These seas were so sharp though that when you surf down at an angle every once in a while a wave would pass you and lift one hull then the other quickly. It was this fast side to side motion that knocked our coffee grinder over and spilled my favorite coffee beans all over the counter. The nerve.
As we worked our way south the water began to lose its brownness very gradually. We were pretty far off shore in order to stay in fairly deep water. Also because as we jibbed (which required artful timing) back into shore it seemed the waves got steeper. We were sailing under double reefed main and a scrap of jib yet we often ran very fast down the waves. No one wave would get us much over 12 knots, but every now and then you would get three in a row synchronized just right. We hit 15 knots speed over ground often and actually saw 20 and change at one point. I liked 15 but not 20.
I looked over at Em from time to time to make sure that she was comfortable. Often folks without a lot of sailing experience get a little nervous in big seas. She was reading a Charlie Houston novel or sleeping the whole day. I had to smile as I imagined some of my guy friends crying like little girls between heaving over the rail.
As we progressed toward Cartagena we began to jibe into the shallower water closer to shore. The points north of Cartagena started knocking the seas down considerably and the winds began to come down from their peak in the high 30s and gusty zone to the low twenties. We were hoping to make it into Cartagena before sunset yet sailing all the way down to Boca Chica and back up to the small boat anchorage would certainly put us in the dark.
We decided to try to hail some folks in the anchorage to see if we could get some pointers after we tried to raise the Nautico Marina. Nautico answered and told us that they still had no space. We couldn't raise our friends Seeyamana but another boat, Panacea answered us. We told them that we were making the entrance for the first time and coming from the north and they asked if were coming in Boca Grande.
Again the shortfall of the sailing directions and our medium scale paper charts bit me. On the chart is shows a submerged wall across Boca Grande and the Sailing directions say nothing of it (because tankers can't go in there). There is, of course, a tight, but reasonable cut in the wall for small boats. This entrance takes a good 10 miles out of the equation. We were ecstatic.
We approached beautiful Cartagena with wind surfers jibing in front of us as the sun sank low. The Boca Chica cut is narrow and it can be tricky with big seas and high wind. After Baranquilla we didn't think twice about it though. It was very exciting to be motoring through historic Catagena, I could imagine Drake and other famous scallywags sailing through in their tall ships.
Some kind folks on a Kynsia 44 (the Saint Francis 44 molds) guided us to a safe anchoring spot amidst the other boats. Hideko and Em cleaned Swingin' on a Star up as I put the dink in the water. Our friend Margaret didn't get our email saying we'd be late but we found her via the VHF all the same.
I dinghied over to the Nautico dinghy dock, which is a trick the first time in the dark. The dock is in the middle of all of the big boat docks and everything is stern to so there are bow lines and stern lines out all over the place. It was great to see Margaret. We hadn't seen her since our sailing trip in Marina Del Rey (incidentally one of our first blogs) almost two years ago. We piled all of Margaret's stuff into Little Star and headed back to the big boat to settle in with a crew of 4 (plus one dog).
03/08/2008, Santa Marta
You never know what to think of your charts until you have been in an area for a while. So just while we were in the susceptible new country zone, coming around Punta Gallinas in Colombia, the sounder started tracking a 30 some foot bottom. Now sometimes you catch a dolphin or something and get an instantaneous bounce but this was tracking, and in a place where we should have had no bottom.
As you would expect we slowed the boat and turned off shore. After carefully consulting the paper and electronic charts, several GPSes and the Sailing Directions we decided that the sounder was having one over on us. My current explanation is that the seas were beginning to kick into gear as we came around the point. I think the turbulence under the bow can cause this, but only in places where there is no other bottom. When there is a pingable bottom this doesn't seem to happen. So after a half hour or so of frittering about to get enough confidence to proceed at speed we headed down the coast.
We were surfing down the waves by midnight at speeds up to 11 knots. Things were still reasonable though and we pressed on with the Em/Hideko team on watch from midnight until 04:00 and me taking over until 08:00. The bioluminescent critters in our wake were putting on quite a show throughout the wee hours and the girls spotted several groups of dolphins at various times of day. We make log entries every half hour when on passage and check off all of the lights on the passage plan as they go by, taking the occasional 2 LOP fix or running fix to check the GPS.
As the day wore on we closed on Santa Marta, the first real big city along the Colombian coast. As advertised things began to heat up. The area between Santa Marta and Cartagena is famous for big wind and big sharp seas. It all peaks around Baranquilla were the massive Rio Magdalena dumps out into the Caribbean. The mixing of fresh water, salt water, currents, wind and the occasional log swept out from the delta makes for some interesting and steep waves.
We had been making good time running around 9 knots but we would not clear Baranquilla by nightfall. The wind continued to build over 20 knots and the seas were progressing in lock step. As the sun approached the horizon I decided to invoke the closest ditch anchorage.
We were enroute to meet a sailing friend from Marina Del Rey in Cartagena. She was expecting us tomorrow morning. We don't like to leave people waiting for us but this was an easy call. We had set our passage to coincide with a moderation event along the Colombian coast that ended up shrinking to almost non existent. The next calm down would not be until Wednesday, five days hence. We made a valiant effort to get around Baraquilla during the calm but seeing as how we either missed it or it didn't materialize, I saw no reason to put my crew through that particular transit at night.
We had a couple of options in the Santa Marta area. Santa Marta itself is a fairly protected harbor but it is home to customs and harbor to some big ships. We wanted nothing to do with either until we reached Cartagena. Further down the coast there was a roadstead for large ships. This is the thing about the US Sailing Directions. They're really motoring directions, and for really big vessels at that. You get depth cautions about areas that are 20 feet deep for instance. A great many small wonderful boat harbors are never given the slightest mention. Still good to know information.
After studying the chart, we decided to get in behind the point to the south of Santa Marta and cruise the coast to see what looked good, ditching at the roadstead in the worst case. From off shore we spotted a sandy beach resort looking area. This is a good thing. Sandy beaches are typically protected if on the lee side of things (otherwise there's no sand) and sandy beaches give you a good shot at a shallow sandy anchorage.
As we dropped the main and motored up to the Yireth Resort I smiled. What a perfect place to anchor. There's a lot of traffic during the day because there are no roads into this little isolated beach at the bottom of the carved out cliff. You also have to be careful to stay out of the beach channel and to avoid the huge fishing net hung out from the beach to an area a good two hundred meters off shore at twilight. Other than that at sunset you have the place to yourself.
Hideko, Em and I put the boat away as the wind came howling down the hills in gusts, blowing from nothing to 20 in seconds. The holding was wonderful and the breeze kept things nice and cool aboard. Flying the Q we didn't drop the dink. Passing boats said hola but no took much notice of us. We had a nice dinner watching the sun set and then settled down for a nice sleep. We would need to get after it early tomorrow to make the Cartagena entrance by sunset.

A client page uses javascript to post multipart form data (files) to my ASP.NET site (ashx handler).
User selects several files and start a concurrent upload. When files are like 150MB+, this generates several concurrent POST handlers of the ASP.NET server side.
I have the session control implemented, along with captcha functionality to exactly know if it is not a bot flooding my server.
But the problem is with the initial upload start.
Each time a handler is to process a
POST, it checks an ID of the session (my custom session, one per user page), and adds the
Request.ContentLength size to the total size of files
POSTed per session. This data is saved to an XML.
But since several initial posts occur simultaneously, an XML writer that records the sum of bytes "chokes" and reports 0 bytes per session for all initial
POSTs, since they come in at the same time.
I've implemented
lock on my
persister object (that does XML-writing), but now until one POST is totally processed, others can't go on.
Also even though I don't do anything with the requests that come in "after the upload limit", they still take time to upload the data to the server.
So my questions are:
What is the correct pattern to process several concurrent
POST uploads?
Is there a way to immediately drop POST as soon as the request is filtered in ASP.NET handler code, and save the client an effort of uploading the data to IIS?
UPDATE: When
locking only on XML writing/max session length calculation I still have the concurrency, which is good. Now I only need to figure out how to drop session immediately from ashx handler code.

I am migrating to Zimbra. For most domains, it will be the sole SMTP/IMAP server; but for one critical domain, it is a backup mx.
I can't seem to get this to work.
In postfix (which I'm not really familiar with), I think I need a transport map, along the lines of:
But Zimbra uses LDAP to hold this config. Looking at /opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf seems to indicate that it's the zimbraMailDeliveryAddress that I should try and set.Code:mydomain.com: smtp:[192.168.x.y]
So I try:
So a different thread hints at using ldapmodify. I try something like:Code:zimbra@zimbra:~$ zmprov prov> md mydomain.com zimbraMailDeliveryAddress smtp:[192.168.x.y] ERROR: service.INVALID_REQUEST (invalid request: zimbraMailDeliveryAddress is immutable)
So the above ldapsearch indicates that the right attribute is set.Code:zimbra@zimbra:~$ cat /tmp/transport.ldif dn: dc=mydomain,dc=com changetype: modify add: zimbraMailDeliveryAddress zimbraMailDeliveryAddress: smtp:[192.168.x.y] zimbra@zimbra:~$ ldapmodify -w `zmlocalconfig -s -x -m nokey ldap_root_password` -D `zmlocalconfig -s -x -m nokey zimbra_ldap_userdn` -f /tmp/transport.ldif modifying entry "dc=mydomain,dc=com" zimbra@zimbra:~$ ldapsearch # mydomain.com dn: dc=mydomain,dc=com ... zimbraMailStatus: enabled zimbraMailDeliveryAddress: smtp:[192.168.x.y]
However, it doesn't work. I send an email to Zimbra, and it bounces it back.
I note the following:
So, questions:Code:zimbra@zimbra:~$ zmprov gd mydomain.com # name mydomain.com dc: mydomain o: mydomain.com domain ... zimbraMailDeliveryAddress,zimbraMailAlias,mail=email,email2,email3,email4,email5,email6 ... zimbraMailDeliveryAddress: smtp:[192.168.x.y] zimbraMailStatus: enabled
- am I going about this in the right way?
- what have I done wrong?
Thanks in advance.
PS let's not debate the merits of a backup MX, please.

U.S. Rep Jim McDermott took what is apparently the most expensive trip in recent history by a member of Congress. The expenses were covered by a Washington, D.C., company that contracts with the federal government on health, education and other development projects around the world.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott's well-known globe-trotting ways have landed him a dubious new distinction: He took one of the priciest congressional trips in recent history.
According to the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call, the Seattle Democrat's roughly $21,000 five-day visit to Bali in November apparently is the most expensive trip by a member since Congress tightened rules on privately funded travel in 2007 to reduce influence peddling.
That and another $21,000 in expenses for a McDermott aide, Jessica Lee, were covered by Chemonics International, a Washington, D.C., company that contracts with the federal government on health, education and other development projects around the world.

McDermott, co-chairman of the congressional Indonesia Caucus, attended the Bali Democracy Forum. While there he also met with Indonesian officials to discuss new trade regulations that have all but halted exports of Washington apples and other crops to the Southeast Asian nation.
Kinsey Kiriakos, McDermott's spokesman, said McDermott, who represents the 7th District, was en route to Seattle on Friday and unavailable for comment.
Kiriakos defended the Indonesian trip, noting McDermott attended the conference at the request of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. McDermott also traveled to Jakarta to see Indonesia's foreign-ministry and trade officials.
Kiriakos said Chemonics funded the trip out of a three-year contract from the U.S. Agency for International Development to promote pro-democracy agendas.
"The congressman believes that the best way to get things done is to meet with people," Kiriakos said, adding that McDermott had no control over the trip's costs.
McDermott is a top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee and is heavily involved in free-trade issues.
McDermott, 75, is one of the more avid travelers in Congress. He has taken 26 trips in the past six years, including 12 to Japan, Rwanda, Turkey and other international destinations. The trips were funded mostly by nonprofits and private foundations.
In August, for instance, McDermott took a six-day, $5,270 trip to Belgium to participate in a conference sponsored by The Aspen Institute on relations among the United States, Europe and Russia.
By comparison, McDermott's longtime Democratic colleague, U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks of Bremerton, took two trips during the same six-year period. Those trips, one to Hawaii on U.S.-China relations, and one to Madrid on U.S.-Russia relations, each cost about $8,500.
The tab for McDermott's portion of the Indonesia visit included $9,548 airfare from Seattle to Bali to Washington, D.C., as well as about $1,281 for lodging and $760 for meals. It also included indirect expenses, including $2,500 for interpreters, $400 for lodging for security escorts, $3,000 for meeting space and a reception, and other expenses such as per-diem costs for support staff.
The costs of such privately funded trips are easier to track than official congressional delegation trips. Those so-called CODELs are paid for by the government. Many such trips are taken aboard military-owned aircraft.
Unlike with commercial flights, the Defense Department does not have to disclose the costs of its flights, something lawmakers have tried without success to require.
Lawmakers have joined CODELs on jaunts through Europe and the Mediterranean, sometimes with spouses in tow.
This summer, Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., canceled a CODEL to Monte Carlo he had planned to lead to discuss human trafficking after The Washington Post publicized it.

Gold held steady around $1,290 an ounce on Friday, underpinned by strong chart support, but remained on track to fall for a second week as the dollar took support from euro weakness and traders awaited further news on Ukraine.
The dollar extended gains against the single currency after posting its biggest one-day drop in nearly two months on Thursday, as investors positioned for more monetary stimulus from the European Central Bank.
Spot gold was at $1,289.10 an ounce at 0957 GM, little changed from $1,289.00 late on Thursday, while U.S. gold futures for June delivery were up $1.40 an ounce at $1,289.10. The metal has found solid support at its 100-day moving average at $1,287 an ounce, dealers said.
"With a lack of any particular news on the economic front, and with the tensions in Ukraine having declined from the elevated levels we've seen recently, the market is searching for direction, stuck in a range either side of $1,300," Mitsubishi analyst Jonathan Butler said.
"The long-term trend is still downwards for gold," he added. "If we see a convincing breach and a close below $1,280, that will confirm the trend, and we might go on to re-trace back down to the $1,240s."
The metal rallied to three-week highs on Monday on the back of elevated tensions in Ukraine, but it failed to maintain those gains after Russian president Vladimir Putin said he was willing to negotiate with European officials over the crisis.
Pro-Moscow separatists in eastern Ukraine ignored a public call by Putin to postpone a referendum on self-rule, however, declaring they would go ahead on Sunday with a vote that could lead to war.
European shares eased, but are expected to be underpinned by expectations that the ECB could employ new measures, such as a rate cut, to support the region's economic recovery.
ECB president Mario Draghi said on Thursday that the bank was ready to take action next month to boost the euro zone economy if updated inflation forecasts merited such a move.
"Our European economists are now calling for the ECB to cut rates across the whole interest rate corridor in June by 15 bps," UBS said in a note. "For gold, this has a negative read-through, principally through the FX impact."
"It's one further variable... that will encourage weaker sentiment towards the yellow metal."
Interest in gold was muted overnight in Asia, the leading market for physical gold. China had some mixed interest early
