Rain prompts Potter County officials to lift bans
Tue, 10 Jun 2014 03:46:51 GMT —
Lake Meredith has gained nearly three feet of water with recent rainfall, and officials are expecting more once the gage allows the water to run off.
The Director of the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority, Kent Satterwhite, said once the ground becomes soaked and saturated it allows rainfall that follows to then runoff from the Canadian River to Lake Meredith.
"There's so many conditions that determine how much rainfall we get," Satterwhite said. "Where it falls, is it in a sandy area where it soaks in, or is it in a not-so sandy area where it runs off? Is the ground saturated? The intensity of the rainfall. How fast it falls, because we want a hard fast rain."
The rain is also prompting Potter County officials to not only lift burn bans, but allow aerial fireworks...for now.
"Earlier in the season we've looked at banning aerial fireworks due to the conditions," Fire Marshal Richard Lake said. "We were so dry, and the fire danger was extremely high, but we've had a lot of rainfall so at this point we don't meet criteria for any type of fireworks ban."
In years past, Potter County is known for placing bans on specific fireworks including bottle rockets, but residents are free to use them for the Fourth of July until otherwise notified.
"It can all change though, we're expecting high temps and wind, so that could change everything," Lake said.

Looking through some stuff on Digg this morning, I stumbled upon a funny post on the site Offer of the Day. One of their writers declares "The Adoring Fan" from Oblivion to be "The Most Annoying Video Game Character Ever."
Aside from the video we shared a few weeks back showing the him being pummeled by 10,000 watermelons, the Adoring Fan has taken plenty of abuse from other fans. Above is a video of him being used as bowling pins. For a few more examples, take a look here, as well as here.
I'm sure somewhere, Tingle from the Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, is writing the Adoring Fan a letter to let him know how to cope with his "celebrity status."

I hope you get this since it's been a long time, but just wondering if your nose ever got narrow after the graft or did you get a revision to correct it. It's been 14 months since I got my graft and my bridge is wide. Dr. said he... READ COMMENT
Fractured nose 4/2009, septoplasty 5/2009. Ended up w/a "saddle nose" from surgery. Two months ago I went through revision septo/rhinoplasty w/cadavier graft to correct the saddle. My nostrils are still very hard and look very wide... READ COMMENT
I am 7 weeks post surgery. Had cadavier graft for sunken septum (saddle nose deformity)from a former septoplasty after a fracture. The width looks wide an the nostrils feel hard and look wide. I was wondering if you have the same? READ COMMENT

On Monday the Vatican made public its continued efforts to promote reconciliation within the Chinese Catholic community as well as between the Church and the Chinese government.
In a letter written by Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone to the clergy in China, the Vatican noted the celebration of the Year for Priests and addressed some of the issues that the Catholic Church in China is facing.
Recalling Pope Benedict's 2007 Letter to the Church in China, Cardinal Bertone referenced the "guidelines" that were indicated for the future of the Church in China, saying that "among those I wish to emphasize (are) reconciliation within the Catholic community and a respectful and constructive dialogue with the civil authorities, without renouncing the principles of the Catholic faith."
The Catholic Church in China has faced many difficulties in recent years, including divisions within the Church caused in large part by persecution from the Chinese Communist government.
Cardinal Bertone encouraged the clergy in his letter and called for unity, saying that, "In this Year of the Priesthood, I wish to remind you of the source where you can find the strength to be faithful to your important mission ... the Eucharist. ... A truly Eucharistic community cannot retreat into itself, as though it were self-sufficient, but must stay in communion with every other Catholic community."
The Secretary of State continued to emphasize the need for Chinese clergy to "seek reconciliation with concrete gestures" and to find the "various practical ways in which you can make your valuable contribution." Citing some examples, the cardinal told the priests that efforts such as visiting families, training good catechists, fostering charities, organizing special gatherings and distributing literature were among some of the ways that the Chinese clergy could promote unity.
Cardinal Bertone summed up his advice and assessment by saying, "despite the persisting difficulties, the information that has come from different parts of China points to signs of hope."

After 10 years, we're upgrading our discussion board to a new modern system. The new forum will be easier to use, mobile-friendly and loaded with new features! We'll be taking all of the existing posts and users over to the new board, you won't have to do anything. If you have any questions, we've started a thread here to discuss.
If you are on Facebook it is really easy to have your Facebook Friends
Plus!! If we get enough people to become fans by a certain date, Rick will be madeover into our own little beauty queen/pin-up girl!! Right Rick? I already talked to Stacie about it!
Pin up girl???? Do tell!!!
Well, I made a little challenge to Rick yesterday on a different thread. I was thinking that if we get 2500 Facebook fans by the middle of March (or whenever) then Rick would have to go get his legs waxed, makeup/hair done, etc. and have some pics put up here on the site or on Facebook or wherever.
At first it was kind of a joke, but my mom (who was a hairdresser for 30+ years) just passed away and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to do it. It will be fun, it will help raise awareness and honor my mom in a fun, goofy way. (which she would have loved)
When I emailed Stacie, she didn't get it at first but when she did she laughed and said "Alright." So. I guess we're on?
Well, considering a do a little "female impersonation" on the side, this does sound like fun... LOL!
Anything we need to do to get our voices heard about this horrible disease sounds good to me.
Jeff! That's awesome! I volunteered to help make the arrangements, so any advice you could give would be appreciated. And Rick still needs to accept my challenge. Maybe he could use some "encouragement." Lol.
Jeff, You said, I did, and my sister joined right up! Thanks
YAY!! I just got a commitment from Rick!! HE'S GOING TO DO IT!! Some details still need to be worked out, but that's awesome! 2,500 total Facebook fans by 3/31!! We can do it!!
I'm going to start recruiting, immediately!!
okay, okay. I'm in and I just posted it over on our Facebook page.
Heres the link . . . http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4 … 2378771195
26 days and 2,378 more fans to go!
It is a bit mind boggling,Rick
I find myself wandering to Face Book more than doing my work!! LOVE it.
Trust me Lainy, no one's watching it more than me.
26 Days 14 Hours! 2,361 to go!
Facebook is a great tool. I would say about 40 to 50% of my business comes from Facebook!
we just joined up ....lucille and ron
Over 550 fans alreasdy! WOW, WOW and WOW!
Did I say... WOW?
Let's keep promoting the FB Page....
http://www.facebook.com/jeffgrieder#!/p … 195?ref=mf
Great Day To You All!!!
Thanks Jeff, I woke up to your news today as when I went to bed there were 485! This is so exciting, a shot in the arm if you will, that I think we all needed. My daughter puts a new post on for me & herself daily and it has paid off in spades! I was hoping for CC.ORG to be at 500 yesterday and when it was 485 in the evening I was disappointed. Wow is all I can say and now the ball is rolling downhill! Watch out Rick!!!
Right now it is at 593.
I can track it and it looks like we're averaging about 104 a day and I figured we'd need to average about 90, (so, eek!) and yesterday we had more than 130 join. (our busiest day yet.)
However, as of right now, today's only had 53. Has it slowed down permanently? It always seems to pick up in the evening, so time will only tell.
It is so gonna happen!! You are going to be so pretty, j/k you're a good sport!! I need more salon services in Salt Lake City, though!! if you know someone, shoot me an email!!
Hi Rick!
Yep I sure do agree with Heather in that this will happen!! I just found my 2 little cousins and my youngest cousins boyfriend on facebook, and they have some friends. Lots of friends actually, over 1000 between the 3 of them! As soon as the okay my friend requests I will send them your link!!
Thank you so much Rick!!
Rick - What have you gotten yourself into???? I finally joined FB so anyone on the site feel free to reach out and just leave a message that you're with this site as I am still learning everyone's names. Will be recommending the site to my growing list of friends, so better start thinking about what you're going to wear Rick!
If only it were up to me! It seems like Heather has this whole thing already lined up. She's given me the name/phone of my "stylist." She's given me the address of where I need to get measured. She's even given me the name of the company loaning me clothes "and accessories." (whatever that means.)
It seemed like a such a good idea at the time, right? Now everyday I get more and more nervous. I think a few stiff drinks may come in handy.
Anyway. 850! More than a third of the way there with 20 more days to go. YIKES.
Blackbeard the pirate was a local around Morehead City where I work. He used to wear red bows in his rather extensive beard. Maybe you could try this and still manage to save the beard....lol
Only 15 more to go until we smash through the first 1000 members Rick.. Hopefully by the time I wake up tomorrow we will have sailed through 1000!!
Thanks so much!

For a more abstract view, there exist different perspectives on virtualization.
This post intends to give a practical overview on these and the currently available technologies. Keep in mind this is also work in progress and will get additional content in the future, by then this message will be removed.
A piece of hardware emulates another piece of hardware, such that no distinction seems to exist.
The virtualization software makes sure, all hardware (CPU, chipset, I/O, ...) instructions from the host cpu are translated for the guest. Such that a completely different set of hardware seems to be present.
That way, with a big hit on performance, different architectures than the one being provided by the host system can be made available. I.e. MIPS / ARM / SPARC on x86.
The guest OS runs natively without changes.
CPU emulation will not take place, just chipset and other hardware gets emulated. Some CPU instructions may be altered though, but no hardware emulation takes place, CPU-wise.
This yields way better performance than hardware emulation does, but you usually have to stick with one kind of architecture.
No hardware emulation takes place, but the host offers an API for hardware access to the guests.
Different architectures will NOT run.
Guest operating systems may may need the have their kernels patched, such that this API can be used. Xen has different operating modes, depending on the degree of paravirtualization being used.
Note: KVM is not just a pure Paravirtualizator, it just also provides paravirtualized drivers along with virtualized ones. Also it also uses qemu under the hood for hardware emulation.
No hardware emulation takes place, and the operating system kernel is shared.
Software: (native)
Software: (patched kernel needed, thus only backported changes = bad.)
Just leave these technologies needing kernel patches alone, here's why I guess this is the better choice:
The same development will eventually take place, like it happened with KVM vs. Xen. All major linux distributions chose KVM as primary virtualization technique once a solution (read: KVM) was present within the mainline kernel. Xen was dropped. I'd be astonished if this were different with OpenVZ vs. LXC.
LXC just got fresh support in Proxmox, and will likely supersede Virtuozzo in the future. (But that's just an educated guess of mine.)
Currently there is a lot of fuss about
docker for 'app virtualization'.
docker used to use LXC as a backend, but nowadays they develop their own lib/userland tool called libcontainer for managing the OS functions such that their product will run.
lmctfy development ('let me contain that for you'), which has got the same scope as docker, is currently stalled according to the github project readme:
lmctfy is currently stalled as we migrate the core concepts to libcontainer and build a standard container management library that can be used by many projects.
Where you have minimal OS, acting as a hypervisor and virtual machine manager, and most interaction flows directly between VM and processor, without passing the HV OS.
A regular OS like any linux distribution, a Windows variant or Mac OSX is used, and your virtualization software is installed there.
All system calls have to pass the emulated/virtualized hardware which is provided through the host OS. All calls will have to pass through the host OS / the Hypervisor.
This is simply all the container stuff, where a guest OS is running as another process (-tree) is running within the host OS.
Hardware virtualization purely through sofware is costly and slow. Processors nowadays usually provide instruction set extensions like VT-x (Intel), VIA TV (VIA) or AMD-V (AMD), depending on the manufacturer.
These implement an access control specifically for virtualization, along to the rings we will talk about in a minute.
With VT-x there basically exist two modes:
Hypervisors run in VMX Root Op mode.
VM's do not.
If non-root-op stuff is run in ring 0 (see below) by a VM, the Hypervisor can catch this instructions since he runs in root-op-mode, basically implementing trapping.
Prior to this, binary code was passed to the HV from the VM and translated on the fly for security reasons. But with extra instructions, this of course takes place much faster.
To further speed things up, there also exist hardware implemenations for 'Nested Paging' / SLAT (second level address translation). These are called EPT ('Extended Page Tables', Intel) or RVI ('Rapid Virtual Indexing', AMD) and make 'shadow page table' management via the hardware possible. That way usually MMU (memory mapping unit of the cpu) intensive work loads can be sped up.
Also maybe you have to have turned on these CPU virtualization features on in the BIOS, too, if your hypervisor is slow as hell. It can be the case, that the mainboard has these deactivated by default (for whatever a reason).
If you really want to know more theoretical stuff about this, head over here at VMWware. To just have the 'light' version, try VirtualBox' technical background section in its manual here.
These are separations such that processes within a certain ring can just execute a subset of the processor instructions of the processes being present in the lower ring. For going lower, a kind of API is provided, via interrupts, and context switches are necessary for transitions.
Rings can be implemented in purely in software (slow), but nowadays hardware (instructions within the processor, way faster, see above, google 'binary translation') is used for this.
First an overview, which ring permits which level of hardware enforced access in protected mode on an x86 cpu: (There exist some more modes, of course. ;))
Another term for the rings is hierarchical protection domains. They are mechanisms to secure execution of hardware-level instructions in the processor.
I.e. processes running in ring 0 have direct memory access, and do not have to use virtual memory where the RAM access would be limited for security reasons.
According to the virtualbox manual usually only 0 and 3 are used usually. But virtualbox also happens to use ring 1 for security reasons. See the aforementioned manual for more information how this takes place.
When ring protection is coupled to certain processor modes, it is basically the known differentiation between kernel- and userspace.
Depending on the ring the guest operates mostly in, the virtualization classification is also different, and that is why this part here was included into the post initially.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Andover, MA, United States, 2010/08/03 - Enterprise open source PLM leader becomes the fastest growing PLM company worldwide.
Aras®, the leading enterprise open source Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software solution provider, today announced a 226% increase in sales in the first half of 2010 along with further acceleration in momentum. Arass strong performance is driven by the continued growth in worldwide adoption of the Aras Innovator suite, and demonstrates mainstream acceptance of the Aras enterprise open source model and advanced PLM technology by Fortune 500 / Forbes Global 2000 companies.
Gartner is seeing increased interest and adoption from manufacturers and PLM service providers, indicated Marc Halpern, Research VP for PLM at Gartner in the recent Cool Vendors in Product Design and Life Cycle Management 2010 report. The annual subscription fees for support and upgrades are approximately 40% of what they would pay the major PLM vendors for annual maintenance, and they had no expense for PLM licenses.
The enterprise open source approach and elimination of PLM license fees initially got our attention, however, what really drove our selection of Aras was the comprehensive PLM functionality and advanced technology, said Chief Information Officer Tony DeGregorio of Textron Systems Corporation.
Aras Milestone & Momentum Highlights:
Global sales growth of 226% in the first half of 2010 with 218% in Q1 and 235% in Q2;
Expanded fixed-price Aras Unlimited subscription package offerings for corporate deployments with greater than 10,000 users;

61 partner companies across Europe, Asia, India, Africa, Australia / New Zealand, Russia and Latin America;
More than 29,000 people around the world part of the Aras corporate community;
86 community solution projects available on the Aras open source project site;
CAD integrations for CATIA, NX, Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Inventor, AutoCAD and others along with EDA integrations for Cadence, Allegro, OrCAD, DxDesigner / DxDatabook, PADS, Altium, Zuken and more;
Releases of Aras Innovator Version 9 with enterprise virtualization, expanded security and enhanced vault replication capabilities;
Certified for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 becoming the only enterprise PLM solution to successfully pass Microsofts most stringent testing requirements on multiple Microsoft platforms;
Certification by CMPIC for enterprise configuration and change management.
Our growth represents a fundamental shift in the way global companies are approaching their enterprise PLM strategy, said Peter Schroer, President of Aras. Businesses want to control their own destiny and avoid the type of lock-in that can create interoperability problems and runaway PLM license cost increases. Aras represents the format of the future in the PLM market by providing companies with complete control of their PLM platform and a predictable, fixed-cost structure.
Aras is the only PLM solution based on an enterprise open source business model and powered by advanced model-based SOA technology. Arass innovative architectural approach and comprehensive out-of-the-box functionality ensure that companies can deploy quickly and iteratively adapt their PLM environment in a fraction of the time required by conventional enterprise PLM / PDM systems.

Regarding the Jan. 12/13 Kyodo article "Osaka basketball coach tries to justify physical discipline after beaten boy's suicide": Whether the student was struck one time, 10 times or 30 times does not make any difference. People with a mind-set like this teacher's have to be kept away from pupils.
I am afraid this may be just the tip of the iceberg. No one can tell me that the principal and the other teachers at that school did not know about the coach's actions of "encouragement."
When it takes a boy's suicide to fix the attention of the public, the authorities and the press on such misconduct, there is something fundamentally wrong with our society.

Stylist: MikoRating:
I had both color and cut with finger styling. I loved every moment of my experience. As soon as I walked in, I was greeting by the staff by name and had a consultation, Miko was very informative and asked the type of look I wanted to achieve and during the process kept me engaged. I was even served appetizers while under the drier. My over all look was awesome, everyone loved my color, especially me and it looked very natural at the same time.
Stylist: Miko
I understand the price concerns mentioned by others who have posted. It is expensive to have your hair done at Miss Jessie's salon (especially if you get color, cut and silkener all at once!). But the results are excellent. I've been getting my hair done here for 1 1/2 years. I get stopped constantly and complimented on my hair or asked where I get it done. Going to this salon has changed my life. Doing my hair is not a daily struggle but a pleasure. I have more confidence.!

Profiles of Women in STE in Oman
|Literacy Rate (2003)
|Primary School Enrollment (2004)
|Secondary School Enrollment (1995 – 1999)
|Tertiary School Enrollment (2000)
|Percentage of Women among Students Studying Science(1995/1996)
|Percentage of Women among Students Studying Medicine(1995/1996)
|Percentage of Women among Students Studying Engineering
|2006 Female Labor Force Participation Rate:
|Wage Equality for Similar Work (Ratio of women's wage to men's wage)
|Enterprise-Level Policies to Combat and Prevent Sexual Harassment
- Up until 1970, girls did not have access to an education, but since then, free education is provided to all students, and enrollment rates has been fairly equal for males and females. In some cases, female enrollment in universities has exceeded that of males. However, this may be due to many males studying at universities abroad, while women have limited traveling rights . The gender gap in education does seem to be narrowing. In 1995-99, the ratio of girl to boy students in primary school was 0.95, and in secondary school, it was 0.97, showing almost equal enrollment among the genders. There seems to be a lack of interest in attending school at the tertiary level among both men and women students. In tertiary school, the ratio of women to men students was 0.78, with enrollment for women at 7.1%, and men at 8.8%. The number of women that go on to study sciences at the university level is drastically low, as demonstrated in the figures above. Women still feel societal pressures to study gender appropriate fields, such as art, education, or humanities.
- In 2002, 54% of students enrolled at the Sultan Qaboos University were women. However, the university designed policies to limit women enrollment into certain areas of study. Women meet restrictions in fields like medicine or engineering where gender quotas are designed to accept more men than women into the fields. Even though the high school graduation rate is equal among all students, there are few spaces allotted for women in certain technical or professional schools. According to Freedom House, there were no women that graduated with a degree in engineering from the Sultan Qaboos University in 2002. Additionally, requirements to study in certain fields are more rigorous for women than for men.
- In 2006, Omani women only comprised 16% of the labor force. Women have been appointed to civil service positions. In 2004, the first woman was appointed to head the Ministry of Education. Although legally, a woman has the right to decide her career, in practice, it is usually decided by male family members. Additionally, women are promoted less frequently than their male counterparts.
- Many gender inequalities still exist in the legal and penal system, limitations on women's movement and male-supervised travels are examples of inequalities existing within the country's infrastructure. Though the law stipulates equality for all in the workplace, professional women still face discrimination. Women often do not receive the same work benefits as men and face discrimination in the hiring process. Furthermore, Oman does not have any law in place protecting women from sexual harassment in the workplace .

My son had a TB skin test, it came back positive. So we went to his doctor and they did a chest X-ray. It was clear and normal. Does this mean he is a carrier and does not actually have TB? They put him on medicine to take for 6 months. We are just so confused.
In most cases, a positive TB skin test means that the individual has been exposed or near the TB infection, but does not have the active form of the infection. Since your child's X-ray was clear, it is likely that the doctor felt that your child had latent tuberculosis infection (similar to a carrier) where the TB infection is sleeping in the body and cannot be transmitted to others. For persons with latent TB infection, there is a small risk (5-10%) of the infection waking up in the future and causing an active form of the disease. This is why we give medication while the infection is still asleep. Treatment with isoniazid is very effective at preventing the development of TB in the future.

text: SD beating us would be much more likely than us beating Miami in their opener last year (before the fact of course). Afterall, this is the NFL - everybody is really good, any given Sunday, etc. You don't get any pud openers in this league like Oklahoma, Texas, and others in college do. Would we feel devastated with a loss, soured for the whole season. Or would it be "We'll get them next week in Detroit", this is just a small setback in the long range plan ?

So you look older than you really are, all thanks to those dark rings under your eyes. Don't sweat. We have handy 'homemade' tips to rid you of those dark circles.
Causes of under eye dark circles
1. Lack of sleep.
2. Inherited condition having a family with the kind of skin that makes dark circles more likely.
3. Fluid retention which causes puffiness that may cast shadows.
4. Aging which thins and relaxes the skin around the eyes.
Dark Circles - Treatments and Remedies
Dark Circles can be removed by applying peeled and grated potato overnight at least three times a week.
Make cotton pads and dip them in cucumber juice. Place on your eyes for 15 minutes. The effect is cooling and relaxes your eyes.
Massaging eyes with almond oil is of great help. Massage at bed time daily, and in two weeks you will see the difference.
Dark circles can be removed by doing pranayam daily for at least five minutes.
Pressing the mount below index finger of the palm is good for eyesight and removing dark circles.
When stressed, keep your eyes covered with cucumber slices for some time.
Dip cotton balls in rose water and keep for 5-10 minutes.
Drink as much water as you can drink.
Dip cotton balls in chilled water and keep for 5-10 minutes on the eyes.
Take a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and avoid reading late at night, lying down
Every morning, after washing your face, gently apply mixture of equal parts of tomato and lime juice; wash after half an hour.
Alternate hot and cold compresses under your eyes for 10 minutes. Then apply a teaspoon of almond oil mixed with half teaspoon of lime juice on the dark surface every night before going to bed.
For cooling effect to eyes paste of the herb nutmeg (Jaiphala) made with milk may be applied all around the eyes and over the eyelids.

These both are tried and tested by me and works.
1. Don't throw those tea bags after making tea. Let it cool in the refrigerator and then keep it on the eyes. You can continue this even after getting rid of dark circles as it is good to relax.
2. Apply Almond oil around eyes before going to bed. You can see the results within one month. Remember that the Almond oil should be pure and doesn't contain any walnuts.

Database Administrators to arms! Leapfrog Online [http://www.leapfrogonline.com/] is seeking an experienced and highly *agile* fledgling or master DBA to soothe and pamper several bulky PostgreSQL databases in the Chicago area. Wait... What?! On paper, we're a customer-acquisition firm, but the important part for a DBA: lots and lots of data. We have billing data, session data, transactional data, provisioning data, decisioning data, REST data, reporting data in star schemas and staging tables galore; data, data, *data*. Why? To prove to our clients their new customers were supplied by *us*, and to improve the process. Really, we need some help here, and that's where *you* come in. Of course there's the usual duties: query and table optimization, schema design and modeling; system monitoring, backups, maintenance, and replication; occasional database-related system administration and software upgrades; etc. You spent years obtaining esoteric incantations to subdue a misbehaving query intent on performing parallel sequence-scans on four of your largest tables, you've shrugged at single tables that exceed one hundred gigabytes, you know why a nested-loop sub-tree on an optimistic index probability caused by shallow statistics is a *bad* thing. If you even understood that last sentence, we want your resume yesterday! We *hope* you're well acquainted with PostgreSQL, know some MySQL, maybe dabbled a little in SQL Server, and thoughts of possibly administering Oracle won't make you cower in fear. If you've ever coded stored procedures in a PL/SQL variant, there's plenty to peruse here. We also have copious amounts of fact tables based on the standard star-schema model, and heterogeneous data to fill them, with more looming on the horizon. Know Linux or any major Unix? Shell script in your sleep? Think in third normal form? Good, because we do a little bit of everything here. And hey, even if you *can't* do everything we've mentioned here, a few will do just fine as long as you're competent, willing to learn, and really want to delve into the nitty-gritty substrate and become a better DBA. What the Heck is a Leapfrog? Why is it Online? We're not a soulless marketing firm! Our tech department, and by extension the data team, firmly believes in Open Source methodology. Our primary database is PostgreSQL [http://www.postgresql.org/], with read-only mirrors handled via Slony [http://www.slony.info/], with UnixODBC [http://www.unixodbc.org/] when accessing commercial databases. Our version-tracking is Subversion [http://subversion.tigris.org/], and we employ the main developers of nose [http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/] and fixture [http://farmdev.com/projects/fixture/], among other notable members [http://www.softiesonrails.com/] of the FOSS community. We even presented at the last PyCon! We keep a running list of FOSS in use here, and it's currently over 100-items long. The entire company is also a firm believer in Agile's values, with Scrum [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCRUM] as our preferred implementation. We'll gladly take planned iterative development over *emergency driven* development any day! As an employee, you can look forward to our *aggressive disdain* for long hours, almost shamelessly casual atmosphere, and for the hungry among you, bagels on Friday. What's not to love? So if you want to apply, send an email to techposition(at)leapfrogonline(dot)com with a copy of your resume and salary history, and we'll give you a call. -- Shaun Thomas Database Administrator Leapfrog Online 807 Greenwood Street Evanston, IL 60201 Tel. 847-440-8253 Fax. 847-570-5750 www.leapfrogonline.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTE The document(s) accompanying this e-mail transmission, if any, and the e-mail transmittal message containing information from Leapfrog Online Customer Acquisition, LLC is confidential or privileged.

This is great news for the industry...
MGM COMEBACK! Exclusive Interview About New $500M Revolving Credit Facility To Retire Debt & Make TV/Movies
In an exclusive interview after months of near public silence, Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum just told me that MGM is "definitely a buyer and a significant buyer in creating content". This is great news for Hollywood which needs more buyers in the entertainment marketplace. What's more this is a stunning development that MGM which wwas sent into bankruptcy by crushing debt now can emerge free of all bank debt. And that Barber and Birnbaum accomplished paying off the $325M term loan in just one year of what was supposed to be a 5-year time frame. Now the pair plan to grow MGM.
"The financial community has now lent its support to a company that was bankrupt one year ago," they told me. "Our plan of reorganization set out objectives, which all were achieved in a time frame quicker than anyone expected. That allowed us to pay off our 5-year term loan in one year. It was a lot of hard work. But the fact is MGM has not lost any liquidity. We've taken a fixed component of debt off our balance sheet and MGM today has no bank debt. Those days of paying through the nose are gone.
"Not only have we paid off the debt but we have a significant amount of cash on the balance sheet and we now have a full untapped revolving credit facility. The company is now completely unlevered with the ability to explore any opportunities. We have the currency to acquire assets to grow MGM. When we came into the company there were not a lot of project in developments. We started from scratch, and now we have a very interesting slate of pictures. Obviously Bond and The Hobbit led us into this new era. Now that we've got more buying power, people may come to us first so we won't be left at the bottom of the barrel.

The Objective: Cool the System Efficiently!
With an ambient temperature of 22c we proceed to our target objective. The test system was allowed to idle for an hour before the exercise began. Once the reading was taken, a bit of light system use like gaming ensued to see if there was any noticeable variation in temps during typical use. Next, the computer was put through a full 100% load.
It took some time before the internal temp hit 28 C under gaming. The fact that the video card expels air out the back helps greatly. Full load pushed the internal temp to 35 C mainly due to the extreme load placed on the quad core I7 processor and heat given off by the video card's PCB. The enclosure had no problems handling my patented 50 C heat gun test as well. While the gun was billowing hot air in to the chassis, the fans brought the internal temperature back down to 36 C at its highest point. This more than proves that the Scout can handle cooling anything you can put in it. Also, the case fans remained extremely quiet the entire time which was really nice.
Final Thoughts
There's a lot about the Cooler Master Scout that simply makes it a great computer case. Let's cover the things that could use a quick touch up.
First, it would really be awesome if the chassis included another cut out just to the top right of the motherboard tray for a 24-pin PSU main power connector. Second, the PCI clips could use a little beefing up to handle the abuse they'll undoubtedly be put through. And third, we're going to need another 1/2 inch or so to allow these "aircraft carrier" video cards the room they need for a successful installation. While most computer enclosure companies continue to create much of the the same thing, the Scout offers a very unique, aggressive, yet attractive design that incorporates an integrated handle feature that actually works. Some of those aggressive features include its black steel chassis, stronger tooless hardware, larger cooling fans, wire management, and extra USB ports.
The Scout sets one strong precedent with its new "Storm Guard Security System" and CPU back plate access. Even though the SGSS is nothing more than a PCI bracket, it does keep your gaming peripherals from being disconnected without opening the chassis. The back plate access through the motherboard tray should absolutely be an industry wide standard. It's a simple and cheap modification that shouldn't affect costs. One of the best features of the Scout is obviously the price.
The Scout is scheduled to weigh in at about the $100 to $110 level. Shooting for this mile long target price and hoping to secure it is an especially difficult shot. Judging by the spotter's reaction, the Scout hit it!
- Unique case design
- Great overall theme
- Innovative motherboard tray
- Black chassis
- Lightweight for its materials
- Wire management
- Great cooling performance
- Could use another hole for 24-pin main cable
- PCI clips need some beefing up
- Very tight fit for the largest video cards
Overall Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

TAMPA — The good news for the Storm is that Tim McGill is getting in better shape. And that's bad news for the rest of the league.
After getting off to a quiet start this season as the Storm began 2-3, the nose guard continued his strong play in Saturday's 50-48 win against Oklahoma City. Coach Tim Marcum said a good deal of his progress can be traced to his conditioning.
"He's getting his legs under him and getting in better shape," Marcum said. "He's got a fire lit under him recently."
McGill had 11 pressures in a win against Orlando on May 28 and 15 against Oklahoma City. But his most important penetration against Oklahoma City came when the 6-foot-2, 345-pounder stood up the center, causing a poor exchange with quarterback Tommy Grady and a fumble. The ball was kicked through the end zone for a safety, giving the Storm (5-3) the lead for good at 43-42 and helping it to its third straight win. "That play only happens because of No. 8 (McGill)," Marcum said.
Report Card: At the midway point of the season, Marcum said he would grade the Storm at "a B or maybe a high C."
"Do I think this team is good enough to win a championship? Absolutely," Marcum said. "We just need to eliminate the silly mistakes and quit beating ourselves. But we're getting better."
Standings: The Storm is in second place in the American Conference's South Division, behind Jacksonville (7-2). It is ranked sixth this week in the league coaches poll.
Brutley injured: Daryon Brutley, who was named league's defensive player of the week last week for his play against Orlando, sustained a thigh injury in a nasty collision with the end zone wall against Oklahoma City. Brutley played sparingly in the second half, but Marcum said he will play against Alabama on Friday.
It's tricky: The Storm used a gadget play against Oklahoma City that was made famous in Boise State's upset of Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. Quarterback Brett Dietz faked a pass and reached behind his back to hand the ball off to Terrence Royal, who scored the eventual winning touchdown.
"We call that play Boise," Marcum said. "I think we caught them offguard a little."
Game moved: The Alabama game was moved from Saturday to Friday at 8 p.m. so it could be aired as the NFL Network's game of the week. Four of the Storm's next five games will be on the NFL Network.

Veterinary leadership in animal welfare
Appropriate and timely veterinary care is one of the fundamental welfare requirements for animals who are dependent on human guardianship. Within the provision of veterinary care, great attention must be given to minimizing the stress that an animal suffers. Stress over which an animal has no control is severely detrimental to the emotional well-being of the individual, and compromises all the processes that we endeavor to support with veterinary care: healing, recovery from illness, and physiological stability. It is also available in Bosnian.

Oh, okay, fun times. Let's have it. Getcha cocktail and spill it on the dance floor. You dance to this? So does my pants' crotch. Hit it up. Ain't got no number because it's old-school like dat. Wanna sip? Gotta suck it off my feet. Or I can just snag another. Cran-apple and gin? Scotch and orange juice? The bartender don't understand good English. Give him a good tip, and maybe he's got a shot glass. "No, put it in my hands. Yeah, thanks." I rolled my eyes, did you? Okay, thanks for the backup. No, I didn't tip his ass. Oh, shit, you see her out there? I can't handle that. What you got in the move, daddy? You papi me to that grind? Okay-okay, I feel that slow motion. Candy bars are better in king-size, amirite? Don't melt, please. I don't need no stains. Hollly, shit. How questionable is THAT? Drunk? Or she doing the Octopus?
The last Cult Cosmos meeting I attended happened in a — ahhh, a k-hole two years ago. No. It was at the planetarium across from the Colosseum. —Err, was it the winter tennis court? Just, gurrl, that pants bump getting starchy. Let's get around that and wear gym shorts next time. Mix the outcum with the drinks on the ground. And who cleans this mess up afterward? Oh, no, he'll be asleep there — cellphone in hand — into the next morning. That boii cleaning nothing. Yeah, he was talking at my face like he knew it and called me Tina. Clearly I'm a Jackie, yo. Feel that lip? Fight the urge. Take them wobbly synth vibes as your queue to noodle a new dance, and impress what you will without feeling the need to fight your way out of this situation. It's all chill.
Fall through this Earth with Cult Cosmos' new joint Octopus on the free-skrill via Bandcamp pleasantries.

" Brand: Matalan / Available: Various colours / Type: Nail Varnish / Suitable for: Nails "
Matalan is best known for extremely cheap clothes and homeware. So when trying this nail varnish it must be considered from the very start that it probably won't be of as high quality as a branded item. However the product came in a fairly well decorated bottle which seemed promising so it was worth spending the little bit of money on it just to try. Applying a first layer, it seemed extremely thin, and the colour was not particularly visible. Two or three coats later and the polish was there, and it was near enough the colour expected when judging from the bottle colour. However about half an hour later I found myself still sitting there trying to stop the varnish from actually dripping off of my nail! In the end I removed it as it just wouldn't dry, even after a top coat was put on. But, perhaps for younger girls who don't usually paint their nails, it's a good thing to experiment with until pocket money stretches to the good polish.
When having a wander around our New matalan store, i had already spent a small fortune on clothes, and waiting in the queue, Matalan had very well strategiacally placed jewellrey, hair products and nail items. All in the hope that you spend an extra few pounds in the queue. Well i am a sucker and fall for these advertising schemes every time.
I saw this nail varnish at a bargain £1.50 and fell for the colour Sangria and bought myself a bottle.
It is essentially nail varnish and comes in a glass bottle containing 13ml of nail varnish. The glass is clear so that you are able to se the entire product inside. The only labelling you will find is a clear plastic square shaped sticker on the front with a silver 'G' encased within a sun like logo.
Sangria is a deep pink colour, almost fuschia like and has a slight metallic sheen to it within the bottle. The lid of the bottle is a silver coloured plastic and is roughly 1 - 1 1/2 inches tall with a plastic brush attached sitting in the nail varnish.
On the base of the bottle is a small round white sticker stating the address of Matalan should you need it, the amount in the bottle and also the symbol suggesting that the product be used within 18 months before opening.
Now i have used this product a few times and have found that on each occasion i have needed at least 2 coats. I try and prepare my nails as much as i can and use a clear base coat to try and prevent that horrible yellow staining on the nail itself that you can get from nail varnish.
The application itself is quite easy, the brush works well. I have never had any of the clumping of the varnish, which is good, but i find that 1 coat alone leaves a wishy washy finish and therefore have always applied to coats. I leave it at least 20 minutes between coats to allow the varnish to dry properly and then a further 2 hours or so before putting on socks, slippers or shoes.
Despite this i can guarentee within 24 hours i will have at least one nail when the varnish has chipped or scraped, not good even if it only cost £1.50.
Despite my nails looking manky because of it, i find it is time consuming for constantly having to reapply and so therefore i do not really rate this product.
Shame, because the finished colour looks quite attractive!!
2/5 for me!
