Using Graphical Report Designer
iReport is the graphical designer for creating the XML to run a Jasper report.
Download iReport from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ireport/
We used iReport 3.7.4 and 4.0.1
Running iReport (in Ubuntu Linux)
- Download the linux version of iReport (tar.gz file).
- Extract the files into a folder.
- Copy the file /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-126.96.36.199/lib/tools.jar into libs folder in ireport folder of the extracted folder.
- In command line type, get inside iReport-3.7.4/bin
This should run the iReport standalone application. Details about running iReports in Linux available at Installing iReport
iReport Help
Help regarding using iReport is available at iReport Tutorials & Help.
Deploying Report on JasperServer
- Create a new .jrxml file using iReport.
- In JasperServer (Refer Opsview Reporting Module for details on JasperServer), click on 'Add Resource' icon and then JasperServer report.
- The rest of the steps are self-explanatory. Give link to the new .jrxml file when prompted for.
Notes on using iReport
Can be slow. Watch out for changes that are not in sync (ie, if you change the XML, need to ensure that the Designer section has acknowledged the changes). Elements are not always obvious.
Make sure the following windows are available:
- Report Inspector - access to report objects (lots of things unavailable unless this is open, like adding groups or adding parameters)
- Properties - will list things that can be changed for an particular object
To add a new group, right click on "report name".
When charting data, use a time series chart. You then have to right click on the chart element and enter the necessary data:
- Dataset:
- Reset type: group
- Reset group: hostnameservicename
- Increment group: none
- Details:
- Time period: hour (this may be different between a weekly and a monthly report)
- Add a time series
- Series expression: $F{perf_label}
- Time period expression: $F{datetime}
- Value expression: $F{value}
WARNING: The graph takes the last value in each hour, rather than an average value. This is why some graphs which change frequently (such as ping rta) do not make sense. You will need to do the consolidation at the SQL level to guarantee what the graph should look like.
If you have problems where the category name is too large, switch the style to aegen, which puts the categories in a slanted line.
repo versus local filesystem
This is a useful trick so that the same report can run in iReport as on the Jasper Server. Involved getting a variable called isOnJS which can then be used to work out other parameters.
However, this trick doesn't work from Jasper Server 3.7.0 onwards. The isOnJS parameter needs to be manually changed.

Cate is something of a renaissance sex worker; she's currently employed as a pro-domme at a fetish house but has held numerous interesting jobs in the adult industry. Each week, she shares her stories in Harlotry.
As you all know, I was arrested about two months ago for "presence in a house of ill fame."
I spent several hours at the police station, three of which were in a holding cell. I was released on bond and assigned a court date. My boss provided me with excellent legal representation, and I appeared at court confident that I would have to face the most minimal of consequences, if any.
In Chicago, a first arrest for prostitution or any similar offense is dealt with by assigning a class to the fallen woman. They do their best to make it cute–the class is called "UnHooked" and is paid for mainly by the fines levied on men who are caught patronizing or soliciting sex workers.
I was fairly certain I was never going to experience hooker school. Presence in a house of ill fame is not the same as prostitution and I felt there was a good case for me just being, say, a cleaning lady who wandered about in lingerie and recreationally hit guys with riding crops at my place of work.
When they called my name, my lawyer went to the front of the courtroom, some words I didn't catch were exchanged, and he motioned for me to follow him out of the courtroom.
"They want you to take a class," he explained. "We'd be crazy not to take it."
"Seriously?!" I asked, "I wasn't even doing anything illegal! This is ridiculous!"
My lawyer explained that it really didn't matter. My charge was such that there was pretty much no way the city would let me walk away with no consequences. I could accept the class immediately, or try to fight it and end up having to take it anyway. I agreed to take the class.
When they called my name, I walked up to the front of the courtroom with my lawyer, and was given a piece of paper with the name of the program and a number to call.

So, I'm at a turning point in my life. I spent a few years commuting solely by bike, a fixed gear steel road bike, and a nineties aluminum road bike. haven't had a flat bar bike since I was a kid. I've loved the road drop bars the entire time and something with flats never crossed my mind.
Well, early this year I broke my knee with no health insurance, needless to say it's been a long road to even pedal a bike, still not commuting yet, and not sure if/when I can.
I work at a giant dealer, and can get a pro deal on any giant bike, however I just really can't see dropping the cash on a new road bike. even before my injury I never really understood people buying these new, expensive bikes so geared towards speed, yet so limited on options. like buying a Ferrari to commute... but now I'm even less inclined towards speed and more towards comfort...
I simply don't know how well I will like flat bars after a month or so commuting. I specifically have the new giant seek 1 in mind, which has a really cool look, and rides really nice in the parking lot... alfine 8 speed hub, hydraulic disks, 700x50 tires lol. I just really like this bike, but I know old me would never have contemplated purchasing it....
stuck on that or the defy, commuterized with a rack and fenders. or possibly even the tcx slr2, which is probably way too racy for my current abilities.
I know we have a lot of guys in here that do both, and even more that swear by one or the other. I'm just curious if anyone has made the switch or has helpful advice, lol. not really asking advice on the bikes, was just venting there.

A rampaging Otago Highlanders forward pack ended the Northern Bulls' unbeaten run in a surprise 36-12 Super 14 victory here Saturday.
Led by a superb performance from hardworking All Black flanker Adam Thomson, the Highlanders pack outplayed their more fancied opponents at the breakdown to set up a five tries to two victory over the previous Super 14 pacesetters.
The Highlanders had only won two of their first six matches but have been fast improvers and their pack refused to take a backward step against the fancied Bulls forwards.
The most telling statistic was the 13 breakdown turnovers the Highlanders pack won compared to the Bulls' three.
"These boys (the Bulls) are known to be big bullies and boss you around the field -- and our boys were up for that," Highlanders captain Jimmy Cowan said afterwards.
"We were a competitive lot at the breakdown tonight."
Cowan also played a vital role in marshalling the backs and flyhalf Matthew Berquist contributed 16 points through a try, four conversions and a penalty.
Playing outside their home territory in the North Island city of Palmerston North, the southern side ran in three first half tries to lead 21-5 at the break.
All three of the Highlanders' first half tries capped a series of phases where they held possession and gradually ground their way into Bulls territory.
Centre Jason Shoemark was the first to go over in the 15th minute, finding space after throwing a big dummy pass, followed by inside centre Daniel Bowden and Cowan.
The Bulls scored their solitary first half try after some clever work by halfback Fourie du Preez to catch the Highlanders napping with a quick tap free kick, passing to winger Gerhard van den Heever to go over before the defence realised what was happening.
The Highlanders stretched their lead to a nearly impregnable 31-5 within 11 minutes of the start of the second spell thanks to a converted try and penalty by Berquist.
Bulls' flyhalf Morne Steyn kept the visitors' fading hopes flickering with a 57th minute try, capitalising on a rare dominant passage of play from his forward pack.
But Highlanders fullback Israel Dagg had the last word, capping another fine performance to burrow over the Bulls line in the 76th minute.

The Importance of Intellectual Property Rights
How many movie studios would be willing to spend multiple-millions of dollars on a blockbuster film if other studios could copy it upon release and send it to the video rental stores under their own label?
Would J.K. Rowling even try to write another Harry Potter novel if other publishers could print their own edition of the book, perhaps in paperback, and sell it for a lot less money, in part because they wouldn't pay the author any royalties?
Intellectual property--something that is a creative work, created in the mind of someone or a group of people--is still property.
People whose homes have been broken into, their possessions stolen, feel violated; people whose intellectual property has been stolen feel no less violated.
The technologies of today make it increasingly easier to transfer intellectual property from one person to another. The Information Age and the New Economy are forcing us to rethink property rights. What kinds of "things" do people have a right to call their property? To what kind of compensation are they entitled if someone takes that property? These questions are not easily answered.
This country has a long history of recognizing intellectual property. Patent protections, for example, were among the first laws enacted by the First Congress in 1790. The Constitution authorizes patent protection as a way to "promote the progress of science and useful arts." The Founders understood patent protection provides the incentives necessary to encourage companies and individuals to keep inventing, and to invest in commercializing the invention.
What patent laws have done for pharmaceuticals and computer hardware in the U.S., copyright laws have done for music, film, publishing, and software. We lead the world in these industries ... because in the United States, creators own their intellectual property and have the right to profit from it. Take away or diminish that right and you will soon have no intellectual property to steal.
Attacking Intellectual Property
U.S. protections for intellectual property are under attack on several fronts.
South Africa is one example. Its government--and many liberal activists in the U.S.--claim the people of South Africa are being "held at ransom" by U.S. pharmaceutical companies that refuse to cut prices for their AIDS drugs. Why, do you suppose, have none of these innovative, technologically driven pharmaceutical companies grown in South Africa? Look no further than the protection of intellectual property. And what, do you suppose, will happen to the U.S. pharmaceutical industry if it is prevented from profiting from the billions it spends on research and development every year?
On another front, former Vice President Al Gore wants to make it more difficult for pharmaceutical firms to get patent extensions. He supports compulsory licensing of U.S. intellectual property, which would allow foreign interests to exploit protected property without getting permission from the owner.
And in the U.S. Senate, several bi-partisan proposals for restricting patent protections are under consideration. All end in the same wrong-headedness: government meddling in the free market, and specifically in the world of technology.
Bad for the Economy
Intellectual property represents a huge slice of the U.S. economic pie. Demand for these products in the international marketplace is growing more rapidly than demand in the U.S. itself. In the short term, proposals to restrict the intellectual property rights of pharmaceutical manufacturers and similar firms will have a devastating effect on the economy, at a time we can ill afford it.
In the long run, wholesale erosion of property rights will mean irreparable damage to the most innovative and creative industries that drive our economy. In a world where one cannot profit from ideas or inventions, little incentive exists to continue.
The United States has a long history of opposition to government takeover of industry. By failing to protect intellectual property rights, we turn our back on that history, allowing a power grab of not just a company, or even a single market sector, but of the very foundation of economic growth and innovation.
Doing so will leave this country--and the world--substantially poorer, not just in the pocketbook, but intellectually as well.
Bartlett Cleland is director of the center for technology freedom at the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI).

Some aim to establish a government-run health care system, while others simply want votes and campaign contributions from those with a grudge against the industry.

Scholars meeting with young African security leaders discussed some of the advantages and disadvantages of China and India's strong and growing influence in Africa during a recent security sector conference sponsored by the Africa Center for Strategic Studies (ACSS).
Both nations seek access to energy and markets for their fast-growing economies, as well as political support and, in the case of India, an increasing role in African peacekeeping missions, according to two scholars who briefed participants in the Next Generation of African Security Sector Leaders Program on March 28, 2012. The three-week seminar was attended by 42 African security sector leaders in Fairfax, Virginia, in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. The annual event is sponsored by ACSS.
At the event, U.S. Ambassador David Shinn, a Georgetown University Professor of International Affairs, spoke first about China's involvement in Africa. He said the Asian country and Africa have been linked for centuries through exploration, trade, and the settlement of Chinese people on the continent. Trade and diplomatic relations have intensified following China's economic surge and its accompanying need to secure more natural resources.
Shinn said the quest for key resources in Africa targets areas such as Sudan, Angola, Nigeria, and South Africa that are rich in fossil fuels, minerals, timber, and cotton. One third of China's oil imports come from Africa. He said China views many African countries as fast-growing markets and profitable outlets in which it can export cheap manufactured goods. As a result, China's exports to Africa have grown eightfold since 2000.
"China is looking for political support in Africa," Shinn said. "The Chinese government wants to both loosen African support to Taiwan and secure its oil supply to sustain the growth of its economy. That's why since 1991 every newly appointed foreign minister of China has made his first trip to Africa."
China continues to expand its influence in the region on diplomatic, cultural, and commercial fronts, he said, while it also works to secure and stabilize the region for its own long-term goals. He said the amount of Chinese aid to Africa is kept secret but could be 40 percent of its total international aid funds.
"China's aid is not tied to any imposed political condition, and that is what pleases most African governments. But civil society's discontent is continuously growing and that could be a problem in the long run," he said.
Following Shinn on the dais, J. Peter Pham, Director of the Michael S. Ansari Africa Center at the Atlantic Council, said the international community has given little attention so far to the fact that India is fast becoming one of Africa's most important partners. The country's influence is growing not just in the economic realm but also in the political and security sectors.
India seeks to have a military presence proportional to its economic weight in Africa, he said. It also wants to gather support for its bid for a UN Security Council seat—a primary motivator for why the country has deployed 80 percent of its peacekeepers to Africa.
Pham believes India's reasons for deeper engagement with Africa are the same as China's—energy resources, business opportunities, and diplomatic influence.
"India imports 75 percent of its oil, a dependency that will reach 90 percent by 2020, when Indian national energy consumption is supposed to double," said Pham. "Securing its oil supply is vital for India."
Pham said there are major differences in the way India and China conduct business in Africa.
"India is willing to do more manufacturing jobs on the continent," he said. "[The country] has also started to link top Indian universities with their counterparts in Africa. The sharing of knowledge is certainly beneficial to both parts."
Both scholars agreed during discussions that African countries are not taking full advantage of the new political paradigm created by foreign competition for their resources. Instead, many countries compete against each other for favors from the rapidly advancing Asian countries.
"African countries need to consent on basic standards for foreign direct investment so India and China will not play one country against another," said Shin. "Africa must use the new political deal to its advantage,"
Pham added that African countries could also learn from India's experience of building a nation out of a territory the size of a continent that encompasses 22 official languages and almost 1,700 local languages.
The discussions were part of the Africa Center for Strategic Studies' (ACSS) Next Generation of African Security Sector Leaders Program. Course participants discussed Africa's security environment and ways to improve stability, security, and democracy. They analyzed civil-military relations to determine the role and place of security sector professionals in advancing national security in democratizing states. The majority of ACSS academic programs are conducted on a non-attribution basis to encourage candid discussions.
The Africa Center is the pre-eminent Department of Defense institution for strategic security studies, research, and outreach in Africa. ACSS offers a range of academic symposiums, workshops, and programs throughout Africa, the United States, and Europe. Since 1999, more than 4,500 African and international leaders have participated in ACSS programs.

13: Fear Is Real — The Killer Strikes!
January 21, 2009 07:55 PM by Ryan Haidet
After Laura became the second person eliminated from the CW's scary reality show 13: Fear Is Real, the group was still paranoid about a killer being on the loose. Since one of them had achieved killer status by taking the Death Box, nobody had been killed off, but they all had speculations about the suspect's identity. And in tonight's episode, the killer finally took first blood!
Adam thought Ted was very creepy because he has crazy eyes, which made him suspect him. Cody and Rodney thought Steffinnie was the killer because they said every time they talk about it she switches subjects and looks down at the ground. "I do think that with the intelligence that I carry and the fact that I'm like borderline genius, I have figured out Steffinnie is the killer," Cody said. "I think she's killing herself with angst and paranoia. "
Everybody's A Suspect!
The 11 remaining players gathered outside of the cabin where Kelly called out the killer saying they are a wuss since they haven't killed anybody off. She said that the killer needed to step up and take action. In a confessional, the killer (under a concealed identity once again) took offense. "I'm the killer, so the power's in my hands right now. So if you're going to call me out then I might come kill you."
That night as the group was sleeping, Rodney woke up and walked out to the woods. He was flustered with the weather and the mosquitoes so he went outside to try and catch a breeze. He took a seat by the showers and watched the cabin with the hopes he would catch the killer in action. But he fell asleep there and when the sun came up, three of the girls noticed — which instantly made him a prime suspect to the entire group. "I would stay clear away from Rodney," Ryan said.
Melyssa called Rodney out for leaving the cabin and going off by himself. He instantly went on the defensive and claimed his innocence. This is something I just don't understand. If these people were smart, they would work hard at trying to convince the others that they were the killer. Why? So they can guarantee one person is sent to the Execution Ceremony, which is the consequence for a false accusation.
The Killer Lurks
As Steffinnie fished in the river, she was being watched by somebody when she let out a loud scream and fell into the river. The group came to her rescue and pulled her back to safety.
False alarm.
Back at the cabin, the Mastermind was calling. On the phone he said, "There is a broken raft near the water's edge. Repair it to go across the swamp. I have left something on the other side. Whether you choose to take it or not is up to you." So they gathered together and assembled the raft out of empty barrels, rope and wood. Adam, Nasser, Rodney and Ted all crossed the river on the shaky raft and discovered a box filled with beer, which proves the 13: Fear Is Real producers know how to get things loosened up!
"Any gift the Mastermind gives you, you can't really take it as a good thing," Adam said. "There's definitely something more behind giving us alcohol than just giving us alcohol." But despite any fear or concern, the group popped off the tops and chugged down the alcohol.
The Bloody Glove
Steffinnie started comparing the situation to a horror movie. "Usually in every horror movie, when someone has one too many drinks, they loose their sense of surrounding. They tend to put down their guard and they usually are the ones that get whacked first."
Even with all of their paranoia, some of the people decided they wanted to go off on their own.
Not very smart.
Ted left the cabin and went fishing. Rodney went to take a shower. Erica went inside the cabin by herself. Steffinnie was also alone in the back of the cabin and that's when the killer approached her and struck! With the killer's identity still kept a secret, he/she had taken their first victim.
The group walked into the cabin and saw a bloody glove on Steffinnie's bed. Then the Mastermind said over a loudspeaker, "Steffinnie is gone. One of you killed her and the body has been disposed of. There are only 10 of you left."
I bet Steffinnie really wishes she would've kept the Death Box and her killer status when she first had it instead of chickening out and putting it back. And what about being a genius, Cody? Your prime suspect became the killer's first victim.
Abundant Accusations
The group was shocked that the "murder" happened in the cabin because it is so close to everybody. They all figured it would have happened when the person was alone at the shower or walking in the woods.
They all got paranoid yet again — big surprise — trying to give their alibi. Ryan said that the only person they couldn't account for was Rodney, but Nasser thought it might be Erica.
Then it became a circle of accusations — and it really started to get tired. The concept was fun at first, but now it's too exhausting. With every segment essentially becoming the same thing — a bunch of people blaming everybody for being a killer.
The Satanic Hunt
"Five of you must leave the cabin and head down the road," the Mastermind ordered them. Then the remaining five were told to go outside and sit in a chair.
The five people who left the cabin and walked down the road had been taken away and placed in front of a Satanic altar. Each blindfolded person (Melyssa, Ted, Adam, Kelly and Erica) had been given one piece to a five-piece pentagram. The other pieces were hidden throughout the woods at various locations.
Those sitting in chairs at the cabin — Cody, Ryan, Nasser, Rodney and Leah — each had a map and a walkie talkie. They were to lead the others throughout the woods to find the remaining pieces.
The last pair to finish would be condemned to the Execution Ceremony where one more would be killed off. Erica was having a really hard time following Ryan's orders. Nasser led Adam to a snake-filled tunnel where he crawled inside and retrieved one of the pentagram pieces. Cody and Kelly then found their first piece in a field of baby-doll heads. After a mind-numbing few minutes of them roaming through the woods freaking out over snakes, the groups finally started finishing up the task.
Erica returned to the altar in a panic and realized she only had four pieces. She ran back into the woods as Ted made it to the altar and began putting the pentagram together. As soon as he finished, that meant Ryan and Erica failed and faced the Execution Ceremony.
The upcoming Execution Ceremony had the group split along gender lines. The girls wanted Erica to win and the guys were hopeful that Ryan would win. That night, the Mastermind summoned the two of them to the Execution Ceremony after filming their final words. Ryan said he was ready to compete. "I'm here basically to overcome my fears. Life is all about overcoming your fears. So I'm ready for whatever the Mastermind puts in front of me. I'm ready for the challenge."
A Not-So-Scary Execution
Under the moon light, the two condemned players arrived at the Execution Ceremony in the middle of the woods. Over a loudspeaker, the Mastermind ordered Ryan and Erica to stand with their backs against the trees and put a blindfold on. That's when the Mastermind's Minions came out and tied them up. "Some very unpleasant things are about to happen to you," the Mastermind said. "The first person to untie their restraints lives. The other will be killed off. You must escape now!"
The two ripped their blindfolds off and started to untie themselves when big dogs approached them and started barking. But they were obviously on a leash. Then a chainsaw fired up in the distance, but the whacko who was wielding it never even showed their face.
While most wouldn't really be afraid of this scenario, the scare tactics were obviously working because Ryan kept looking around at his surroundings obviously frightened of what he was seeing and hearing. But Erica stayed focused and freed herself first. She returned to the cabin leaving Ryan as the fourth person killed off.
"We won ladies," Erica said. "We won."
Now only nine remain on 13: Fear Is Real. Next week the contestants move to a creepier location with more accusations about the killer's identity set to cripple the group. With the numbers dwindling fast, will the killer strike a second victim?

I loved dead dandelions when I was a kid. Lazy, late summer days would send me scouring the yard for a perfect, puffy globe of silvery seeds. Holding the thin green stalk in front of my face, I'd close my eyes and make a wish. Then I'd take a huge breath—if I could scatter all of the delicate seeds with one long blow, my wish would come true.
If only it were that easy.
Several years ago, my husband and I packed up our lives and moved to a new state. At the same time I gave up a career, birthed a second child and assumed full-time responsibilities at home. I was apprehensive and alone.
How could I put all of the familiar pieces of my life back into place? I knew I couldn't simply pick up a wispy weed and blow on it. So I forged ahead, determined to find a way. Despite all my striving to rebuild life as I had known it, nothing seemed to happen.
Then one prayerful day I was blessed with perspective: I felt like I was dying because for way too long I had been refusing to die. I had forgotten that it's the seedless stalk—spiny and bare—where true promise lies.
"Truly, truly I say to you, unless a seed falls to the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies it bears much fruit" (John 12:24).
So I took a deep breath, blew out hard and watched all my plans drift away with the wind. The Spirit carried seeds of sadness to fertile ground where God tended them with love.
Trusting in God's word, I discovered freedom in now-relaxed efforts of praying, breathing and sitting still. And as I watched for God's loving design to emerge, I found tender green shoots of hope in my heart.

Asian Cajun girls asked me to do a tutorial on photography last week. When asked, I deliver.
One thing is clear though I wouldn't call what I do 'photography'. People sometimes ask me if I'm a photographer. I am NOT. I just like taking photos of certain things in a certain way. When people ask me how I take photos I tell them that I just point and shoot. I don't listen to what so-called experts say so what I'm saying here is just to show you how I do things and not asking you to follow. If you're just interested to know how I took shots at the Elsa Couture launch, Fremantle High Street collective and other events..read on.
What I shoot, subject : I snap all the time but I do like shooting in high energy places such as busy restaurants, concerts and most of all fashion shows. I don't like having to set up lights, and props etc since I'm not a photographer nor a stylist. For that reason most of my photos are taken with available lights. More on that coming up.
If I didn't use the flash (not full but 20% I think) here he would have come out really dark. Check the settings here.
Flash or not to flash: I don't use flash. Not usually that is. Only time I used my Nikon Speedlight 800 was at the Burlesque party. I rarely use the on-board flash on my camera but it did come in handy when I was shooting some sunset with my guy in the scene. As for the outfit post photos, I've been using lots of lamps around the room when I was living in my old house. My dressing room there was pretty dark so I had to but where I'm now I don't have to as there's really bright halogen lighting in the kitchen. I never use the red-eye setting. Doesn't work and it just drains my battery much quicker.
Which camera?: This seems to be a perennial question for a lot of photo enthusiasts. I use Nikon D50 which my guy bought for me in 2005. Nikon and Canon both make really good cameras. There's are lots of famous names but I haven't used all of them so I cannot speak with any authority. I don't participate in Nikon vs Canon battles either. I used both and they both make great pictures. Don't listen to people raving about pixels. Now we can buy 24mega pixel cameras. Honestly, I don't need one of those. Mine is 6 MP. Extra pixels don't make good photos. For professionals shooting landscape and portrait stuff extra pixels will be good but for a snap shooter like me I don't need all those pixels. Why? More pixels demand faster everything. Faster memory cards, faster computer and more RAM on my machine etc..it takes more time for everything. Downloading, storing and manipulating the list goes on. As I always say, time is of essence.
For the burlesque photos it would have been just as good to use a small pocket camera such as Canon SD880. Single Lens Reflex camera such as Nikon D50 or Canon 5D (confused? don't worry.. I'm confused too) are good if you are willing to lug around a relatively heavy camera gear. They are not exactly small enough to fit in a handbag if you know what I mean. If you are thinking of buying a new camera I'd go with a Canon pocket camera and play with it a lot before going into buying an SLR. I even took photos of fireworks with my really old Canon digital IXUS 400 this year. This model came out in 2003 and I still use it. I see a lot of good photos taken with small pocket cameras and a lot of crappy photos taken with the latest mega Mega Pixel SLRs.
I'm thinking of buying extra camera(s) for these reasons:
- D50 is not a full frame camera – almost all digital SLR cameras are about half frame. This doesn't mean much to people. Simply put if I want to use a super wide angle lens which allows me to fit as much stuff as possible close up in one shot I need a full frame camera such as Nikon D3, D700 or Canon 5D. Why? Say 14mm lens isn't really 14mm anymore with D50. It becomes more like 28mm in which case it's wide but it's not super wide.
- D50 isn't really fast enough – my old Nikon F90 (old film camera from 1992) is much faster than D50. I can only shoot 2.5 frames per second(FPS) with D50 as supposed to 4.1 with F90. I just can't shoot action (eg fashion shows) that well with D50. I saw what I could do with more FPS when I was using Canon 40D (6.5FPS, shown above) at High Street Collective. I was having a burst of three shots in a single release (shutter press). Super!
- D50 takes crappy shots at ISO1600 – ISO is basically the light sensitivity setting which used to be the film speed for film cameras. With day light I shoot with ISO200 (I'd use 100 if I could but D50 only goes down to 200). As I mainly shoot with available lights without flash I need to have it higher so I go up to 800 when there is very little light. If I use 200 (less sensitive) at night time, D50 will take forever to get enough light to take a shot. While the camera is doing that I have to hold it still. In most cases my photos are blurry that way. Now you know why your photos get blurry. That's the shutter speed. When using lower ISO settings the shutter speed slows down. It's fine if I'm using a tripod with a remote release but if not I do need to increase the ISO so that the shutter is a little faster. If I could use ISO 1600 my photos will be a little sharper but D50 makes really grainy pictures with that setting. Higher ISO means nosier and grainier photos. With later models I could get away with ISO1600 although some people will tell me never to use 1600. I don't care what others say as long as my pictures look good to me.
Settings, forget about camera settings: This is another area which makes people go crazy. I don't listen to what other guys (yep, it's usually guys who crap on about camera settings) say about settings. What looks good for them looks crap for me in general. This means I have to do things my way. Luckily my way is pretty simple. I use program Auto which is 'P' in my camera dial. It's basically Automatic but with the P mode I can change things around. I sometimes just shoot in Auto with the flash turned off.
At fashion shows for example, I take a shot and if it looks okay I'll continue to take photos with the auto or P mode. If the shutter is too slow (making shots a little blurry), I increase ISO. If it's little too dark, I lower the aperture number (F setting). There are times when I go with the manual mode for example for fireworks. Here's the settings for the photo above. I followed the instructions from Ken.
What's with aperture? I'm not going to get into this in any depth but if your lens (pocket or SLR) says F2.8 this means you can take an easier shot with less light than when taking a shot with F4.5. That is one of the things that pushes the lens prices. For example, my mid zoom lens was AUD $1500 second hand because it's F2.8. My regular lens is only F3.5 and I can pick that up for less than AUD$200 brand new. This is one of the reasons why sometimes pocket cameras take better pictures. My old Canon IXUS 400 is built with a F2.8 wide angle lens. Want to know a little more? Read an article by mr. Rockwell himself.
I think this is enough for one post. I'll continue this in my next installment.

This is my first attempt at posting a pic, but the dealer put on the new seat for me and I am picking it up tomorrow
That's the Deluxe Solo seat. Love those beehive springs! The bike looks great with the single seat. I agree, it downplays the more square rear fender. Even though I wasn't a fan of the rear fender at first it's growing on me now. I think it looks even more old school than the C5.And yes, chain on the right is a UCE thing. It ensures that you burn your arm every time you lube the chain while the bike is warm. Ask me how I know Nice bike!Scott
She's a beauty!

Dear Workforce What's Unique About the Chinese Workforce
Dear Leader:
The main differences between American and China workforces revolve around authority and individualism. In China, people accept differences in authority, or inequality, more willingly, and therefore have more hierarchical tendencies. In a country such as the U.S., people tend to be more egalitarian.
|Authority in China tends to feature:
|Authority in U.S. tends to feature:
|Hierarchical tendencies
|Egalitarian tendencies
|Top-down communication
|Side-by-side communication
|One-way communication
|Two-way communication
|Infrequent feedback
|Frequent feedback
Chinese employees will find it difficult to question the boss, offer up ideas, take initiative or disagree with people of authority in the company. However, in American companies, empowerment is expected. Therefore, management at American companies wants employees to speak their minds, speak up and speak out. Be ready to educate the rest of your management team about the difficulties of empowering a Chinese workforce. Help them set up an environment that encourages your Chinese employees to move beyond their comfort zone.
Individual vs. group orientation
The U.S. is more individualistic than any other country in the world, while Chinese culture promotes group orientation. For example:
|Group orientation: China
|Individualism: U.S.
|Relationships are emphasized
|Tasks are emphasized
|Indirect communication
|Direct communication
|High context
|High content
|Conflict avoidance
|Conflict acceptance
Americans tend to focus on accomplishing the task at hand. This drive to get things done causes Americans to be more aggressive and direct, and this approach at times supersedes relationships.
What an American says (direct communication) often matters less to Chinese than how it is said (context-based or indirect communication). The Chinese will send and receive messages based as much on the indirect context of the message--which includes their relationship to the messenger--as on the actual, direct content of the message itself.
For Chinese, how you say things is critical. In the West, what you say is more important. Without a doubt, your single greatest challenge will be helping your American employer learn how to solicit and receive feedback from Asian workers. You also must prepare your colleagues for other cultural obstacles. For example, having to account for Asia concerns--such as saving face and preserving relationships--can be a major source of frustration for Western companies.

Some 14,000 of them were uprooted in the capital, Mogadishu, where clashes last week between Government forces and Al-Shabaab and Hisb-ul-Islam militants left at least 10 people dead, including children.
Similar clashes last year in the capital displaced hundreds of thousands of people, many of them for the second time in the course of a year in the strife-torn nation, which has not had a fully functioning national government since 1991.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) added that fresh fighting between the Government-aligned Alu Sunna Wal Jamma militia and Hisb-ul-Islam erupted in the central Somalia town of Belet Weyne on 9 January, reportedly killing at least 30 civilians and injuring another 50.
Thousands have fled their homes and an estimated 11,900 have temporarily settled around Belet Weyne in what the agency described as "appalling" conditions.
In the town of Dhuusamarreeb, in the central region of Galgaduud, renewed clashes between Alu Sunna Wal Jamma and Al-Shabaab early this year has forced some 28,800 people from their homes. They are now sheltering in surrounding villages and in urgent need of shelter, water and health care, said UNHCR.
"As the struggle for control of the territory continues, insecurity makes it extremely difficult for aid workers to access the area and deliver vital assistance," UNHCR's Melissa Fleming told reporters in Geneva.
According to the agency, there are some 1.5 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Somalia, and more than 560,000 people living as refugees in neighbouring countries, mainly in Kenya, Yemen and Ethiopia.

It's the latency, you see 20 Aug 07
I saw this question about Brightbox on a forum today:
what would be the advantages of hosting with a UK company over a US based company
One simple repercussion of hosting a site for a European audience on an ISP in the USA concerns trans-atlantic connectivity, which increases latency. If your ISP is on the West Coast it's even worse.
Some casual ping testing from a machine in the UK to a number of Rails hosts in the US showed between 95 and 161 millisecond round trip times. With HTTP ping testing I was seeing up to 327ms, which is likely due to the TCP handshake consisting of at least 2 packets before the request is even issued. From the same machine to a Brightbox (different ISPs of course) I saw around 15 milisecond ping RTT and 33 millisecond HTTP.
Average Ping RTT graph (smaller is better)
Average HTTP RTT graph (smaller is better)
With HTTP features such as persistent connections you can reduce the impact of the TCP handshake, but with these hosts your European visitors will still see up to 161ms delay before your Rails application even starts processing the request. Fragment caching won't help you much there. With the new breed of AJAX web applications this is a huge impact on how responsive things will feel to your visitors.
This wasn't a scientific test with double blind trials, lab coats and conical flasks but it gives you an idea of what a difference 5,500 kilometers makes.

Erica Fontes
This site is closed.
This site is closed.
Slim and blonde with an amazing rack of perky hooters, Erica Fontes is a bona fide cutie. She always wears a coy smile and for much of the time, that's all she wears. She's a celebrity in her native country of Portugal and she'll no doubt make it big here in no time, especially if she does some of the things she does there over on this side of the pond.
Not only does she strip and pose on EricaFontes, but she walks around a mall almost naked, lets us watch her shower and pleasures herself in the back of a limo. Those things only describe a handful of the videos, but there are actually 31 videos to check out. The stats show the movies as having excellent-quality playback and some do, but there are a few that are shaky and poorly lit.
Once you're done making your way through the flicks, you can move over to the photos section where you'll find 62 photo galleries. These range from pics snapped at events to candids from her trip to Madrid or Sweden and some have her posing in costumes, like that of a geisha, naval officer, schoolgirl and matador. The pics are large and high-res, but some look a little washed out and there are no Zip files to make it easier to save them.
This pale-haired Portuguese princess will really get your blood pumping hard, especially when you catch a glimpse of the eye tattoos above her tasty rump and her poon piercing. The best part is that updates are posted daily, so there is more of her to see every day and every day is a good day when you get to see this hottie naked.
You don't get any bonus sites with your membership, but there is one guest model photo gallery (more are apparently on the way) and there is a forum to post comments. There is also a bio section where you can a little more about Erica and there's a link to webcam chat. She wasn't online at the time of doing this and I unfortunately couldn't find a schedule to see when she would appear.
This cutie only began her X-rated career in 2009, but she certainly has the right stuff to make it in the porn biz. Not only does Erica make some awesome-quality content, but there's more of it every day. Those who get off on slim, blonde temptresses will appreciate what Erica Fontes has to offer.

As part of IBM Smarter Railroad initiatives, IBM opened "a new Global Rail Innovation Center that will bring together the world's foremost industry leaders, researchers and universities to advance next-generation rail systems."
IBM Service Management and Asset Management / Maximo solutions are key in enabling Smarter Rail solutions.

Smarter Rail Confidential
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ email@example.com Tags:  maximo kiwirail smarter-rail integrated-service-manage... service-management 1,755 Visits
The title to this blog is a nod to New Zealand born actor Russell Crowe and one of my favorite of his films, "LA Confidential."
Crowe, a naturalised Australian, was born a kiwi.
Kiwis. The birds. The fruit. The people. Are awesome.
This week, my favorite kiwi is by far our Smarter Rail customer; KiwiRail.
Tod, Jessica and Kevin put together a pretty awesome press release, "KiwiRail Selects IBM to Deliver Smarter Rail Network for New Zealand" on how KiwiRail is using "...asset management and advanced analytics services to improve the speed, safety, and reliability of rail service across 4,000 km of lines."
For us Americans, 4,000 km of track is about 2,485 miles. Which, as the crow flies*, is roughly the distance from New York city to San Francisco.
The thing that excites me about what KiwiRail is doing is that the management has an analytics portion to it with our Cognos business analytics software.
One of my previous roles at IBM was working on Business Intelligence marketing and I got to know the space pretty well. In talking with so many of our customers, it was the analytics that contributed to their ability to innovate and save time, money and reduce risk.
The combination of GBS services, Maximo software and Cognos for KiwiRail is going to be a huge win for the entire population of New Zealand considering how much of their economy is based on rail transport.
The take away here for our non-rail customers is to look at the Smarter Planet solutions that match your industry.
We cover a lot of ground with KiwiRail and their requirements. If we can do that for them, what can we do for you?
IBM is striving to develop solutions based around your industry and provide things, like Integrated Service Management in this case, to match your business objectives and help you achieve success in your industry.
Take a look at the IBM Smarter Planet website and the site we have devoted to Integrated Service Management for Industries and post comments below or reach out to your IBM sales rep and/or Business Partner (use the Business Partner Locator) and ask them to sit down and talk about it with you.

Tivoli Success Story Series: Smarter Rail
Shradha Pradhan 270003G608 email@example.com Tags:  smarter-planet customer-reference smarter-rail tivoli service-management 2,476 Visits
We love our planet, Mother Earth. Don't we? As for me, having been born and brought up in a place so close to nature, away from bustle of city, and having studied 'Environment and Resource Economics' as one of the subjects in my Post Grad, these things have always been the driving forces behind my love and fascination towards Mother Earth. And, since Mother Earth is inseparable from the technological revolution and innovations happening around us, it gives me a proud feeling to be an IBMer who works towards Big Blue's mission of a Smarter Planet.
So what is Big Blue's idea of a Smarter Planet?
It's the 3 big ideas to build a smarter planet for smart and sustainable living:
1. Instrument
the world's systems
2. Interconnect them
3. Make them intelligent
IBM's Tivoli® Software places IBM in a unique position to help the clients provide smarter solutions and the expertise needed to design, build and manage a infrastructure that enables them to improve service, reduce cost and manage risk.
Not long ago, while surfing through our case study database, I stumbled upon a Tivoli success story that caught my attention and I'm happy to share the same with our readers here. "Schweizerische Bundesbahnen (SBB) Leverages rail system and network transparency to keep trains on schedule". Wow, the title looked so fascinating to me and that might be because I've had many not-so-good-train-experiences, delay in arrival or departure and the likes (which I always dislike).
Schweizerische Bundesbahnen (SBB), or Swiss Federal Railways, is Switzerland's leading transportation company. SBB transports over 800,000 passengers and more than 220,000 tons of cargo each day, maintains 3,011 kilometers of track that connects more than 800 rail stations and also a large construction organization that engages in roughly 5,000 construction programs each year. However, due to inefficient monitoring systems, a one day system problem in 2005 had stranded nearly 200,000 passengers, costing almost US$5 million. Hence, SBB was looking for a more aggressive service management strategy to prevent future events of this type and operate 9000 trains a day without any hassles.
Interestingly, IBM does have a solution for these kinds of needs. IBM Tivoli® Netcool™ monitors status of IT and physical assets - including switches and sensors - throughout the Client's network. The automated diagnostics and alert systems reduce the likelihood of future outages. And, SBB, along with Alcatel-Lucent, apparently, developed a service management solution using IBM technology (Tivoli Network Manager Entry Edition, Tivoli Business Service Manager, Tivoli Netcool/Impact, Tivoli Monitoring, Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus) to provide a comprehensive view of the overall infrastructure.
So what makes it a Smarter Rail?1. Delivers customizable user interfaces that increase network transparency, and helps support staff to be better informed about infrastructure health.
2. Leverages proactive management and automated alert systems to recognize and repair more than 50 percent of issues before they can impact operations.
3. Increases the availability of SBB's train network by approximately 2,000 minutes per month - therefore saving approximately US$2.3 million each year.
Martin Schaeren, Head of BU Service Management, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), is all praise for IBM, "Trying to manage 3,000 kilometers of track is a particularly daunting task. But, by leveraging our new IBM solution, we're able to see our entire infrastructure clearly and respond to problems before they can affect our operations."
Well, a commendable success story indeed. We, the IBMers, sincerely, wish that all the railway systems of our world become 'smarter', sooner than later. What say?
Pulse 2011: Tuesday Wrap Up

Today was a long, but fulfilling, day.
A bit different from yesterday, I spent the morning helping our customers register for industry round tables and then followed that up with showing customers the new Integrated Service Management Simulator Game in the Expo Center.
Tuesday, as you know, is when IBM makes product announcements and this Tuesday was no different.
Jamie Thomas talked about a number of announcements (including the ones below) in her portion of the general session (which can be found on the Livestream)
I would call your attention to the following two Announcement Letters that were released today:
This information is covered in the press release, "IBM Advances Cloud Computing with New Software" (which includes information on the beta for the advanced virtual deployment software.
The adoption of cloud and virtualization technologies by the market is increasing.
For these technologies to be meaningful to our customers, it is on us to ensure that we can provide the levels of Visibility, Control and Automation (TM) they require to match their Integrated Service Management best practice. (and that's just what we're doing)
Press Release Round Up
The press team put out some great articles that I'd also like to call your attention to:
Some great coverage of the successful client relationships we've built with our industry solutions. They are worth a read (especially the Cities one).
I'd also point you to the excellent blog post Christina wrote about Intelligent Metering Network Management
Speaking of Coverage
As a sequel to yesterday's general session visual note-taking adventure, I present to you my notes from day 2 (Flickr link:
What's Next For Noah?
Tomorrow, I'll be talking to Scott Laningham on the Livestream at 12:40pm PST about Integrated Service Management and then closing out the conference and staffing the Simulator Game in the Expo Center.
If you want, stop by and say hello. I'll show you the demo and can also talk to you about anything Integrated Service Management -related.
Or Simpsons trivia. I can do my pitch as Professor Frink if you like.
Either way :-P

Legendary guitarist Wilko Johnson has added an extra London show to his farewell tour.
Sadly diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, Wilko Johnson is now preparing to say his farewell to fans. As tragic as recent events have been, it's heartening to see the one time Dr Feelgood musician conduct himself with continued grace.
Announcing a batch of British shows, demand for tickets has proved to be enormous. Fans are flocking to pay their respects to the guitarist, with a show at historic London venue KOKO selling out within a few days.
As a result, Wilko Johnson has added a second London show. Once again taking control of KOKO, the guitarist will play a further date at the venue on March 10th.
Tickets are on sale now.
Here's a quick interview with Wilko Johnson from Later... With Jools Holland.
Here are the dates in full:
6 London KOKO
7 Bilston Robin 2
8 Holmfirth Picturedrome
9 Glasgow O2 ABC

One of our most anticipated films of 2013, "Mood Indigo," is still without a U.S. distributor despite boasting the name of Michel Gondry in the director's chair, and a cast that includes familiar arthouse faces Audrey Tautou, Romain Duris and Omar Sy. So far, we've certainly been piqued by what we've seen -- a good serving of Gondry whimsy, combined with an adaptation of a beloved novel by Boris Vian -- and these five new clips certainly raise the stakes a bit more.
Now, a warning -- there are no subtitles here, but they are all still worth a look, if only to take in the visuals on display. From our lead couple Colin and Chloe (Tautou and Duris), launching up into the sky, or looking out a glass walled limo, this is certainly Gondry in top, creative form. Even breakfast gets a distinct makeover from the filmmaker and perhaps most of all, we get see Colin's invention, his new take on the piano.
"Mood Indigo" opens in France on April 24th. Watch below.

Hot Sour Salty Sweet
Hot Sour Salty Sweet: A Culinary Journey Through Southeast Asia By Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid, Artisan, 2000. Hardcover. $45; 346 pages
While writing together, Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid were the world's greatest explainers and explorers of regional cuisines. They produced marvelous books, scholarly and gorgeous at once; this, probably their best, is saturated with the history, geography, faces, and food of an amazingly diverse region.
They are most interested in the culinary threads that run across national borders. As they traveled, their "culinary map of Southeast Asia slowly changed, no longer grouping Thailand together with Malaysia and Indonesia, as is traditionally done, but seeing it as a close cousin to parts of southwest China (Yunnan) and to the Shan State in Burma, as well as to Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam."

Teen Mom 2
Kailyn Lowry Shows Off Baby Bump at the Beach! (PHOTO)
Hands up if you're over-the-moon excited about Kailyn Lowry's forthcoming bundle of joy? This glamorous Teen Mom 2 star is about eight months pregnant (give or take) with her second child, and she and her husband, Javi Marroquin, couldn't be more thrilled.
Kailyn is infamously private about her family life, and only recently confirmed her pregnancy (despite the fact that there are only a few months left), but thanks to the power of fan photos we know just how adorable her baby bump is. Check out this recent pic of Kailyn posing with a few fans at the beach — possibly in her new home state of Delaware. She looks positively glowing, and her stomach is huge!
That being said, it doesn't look like Kailyn's gained very much weight during this pregnancy, which means she'll have no trouble getting back into shape once she gives birth. And speaking of giving birth, thank goodness homegirl's water didn't break as she walked down the aisle during her second wedding this past weekend!
Kailyn still doesn't know if she's having a boy or a girl, but we're definitely rooting for a little lady. This gal needs some estrogen in the house to balance out all the dudes! As she reminded fans, even her turtle is a boy!

John F. Wolfe Receives FBI Director's Community Leadership Award
|FBI Cincinnati November 09, 2012
Edward J. Hanko, Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Cincinnati Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), announced today that Mr. John F. Wolfe has been named as the recipient of the 2012 FBI Director's Community Leadership Award.
"John Wolfe has demonstrated outstanding leadership in support of law enforcement and has been a valuable partner with the FBI," stated Special Agent in Charge Hanko. "I am honored to recognize him with this award on behalf of the FBI."
Mr. Wolfe currently serves as the chairman of the board and CEO of The Dispatch Printing Company, the publisher of The Columbus Dispatch, and the chairman of the board of WBNS TV Inc. Mr. Wolfe has several additional business affiliations in Ohio and Indiana.
Mr. Wolfe is a highly respected civic leader in Central Ohio, often donating his time and resources to endeavors that benefit large portions of the community. His business, civic, and philanthropic efforts have greatly assisted law enforcement agencies and the community at large.
Beyond his personal accomplishments, John F. Wolfe and his family have been strong supporters of public safety for several generations. Dating back to the 1940s, the Wolfe family has had a close relationship with the FBI, hosting the leadership of the Cincinnati and Cleveland Divisions of the FBI for a program each year at their corporate facilities.
In addition, the Wolfe family graciously hosts the Ohio Chapter of the FBI National Academy Associates (FBINAA) at their facilities. Nearly 250 FBINAA members attend the annual business meeting and training event where they interact with FBI and law enforcement leaders from throughout Ohio and develop important business relationships.
John F. Wolfe also hosts an annual Public Safety Appreciation Dinner to recognize law enforcement, homeland security, fire, EMS, and public safety officials who serve their communities. The program was first held in the 1970s and has continued each year.
FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III is scheduled to formally recognize Mr. Wolfe in a ceremony at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C., next April.
