A SF poster had a dish at a Yucatan restaurant called pebre ... "A smoked turkey in relleno blanco. Delicious with tortillas. Clear-white sauce with peppercorns and oregeno. Any info on this dish?"
The term seems used more to describe a Chilean condiment - "Pebre (salsa) - parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice".
I did find a book called MAYAN COOKING: CLASSIC RECIPES FROM THE SUN KINGDOMS OF THE YUCATAN which describes pebre as Spicy Chicken with Pork Stuffing.
Another Mexican recipe ... Pebre de Pollo - Chicken in Sweet-Tart Sauce
The site says "The Spanish influence is obvious in the caper-olive-raisin-sherry combination. But the dish has nothing in common with the sauce called pebre or pebrada in Spanish cooking, a mixture of vinegar with black pepper (hence the name) and garlic."
So perhaps is just a term meaning indicating pepper in the dish?

text: Last week's conference on aircraft tracking in Kuala Lumpur came just two months after the Malaysian Ministry of Communications and Multimedia requested help to determine the best methods for watching commercial aircraft in real time following the March 8 disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370. The preliminary report on the accident, issued last month, recommended that the International Civil Aviation Organization examine the safety benefits of introducing a standard for real-time tracking of commercial aircraft. Requirements and concerns from the flight deck were also taken into account. According to Malaysian communications minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek, the Indian government has already issued a circular instructing airlines under its jurisdiction to track all aircraft in real time even though no international standard currently exists. "The challenge is to bring the capabilities of rapidly advancing telecommunication to the aviation sector in a coherent and coordinated manner," said Malcolm Johnson, director of the International Telecommunications Union's Telecommunication Standardization Bureau. One option now being considered in this regard is the use of cloud and big-data solutions. Nancy Graham, director of ICAO's Air Navigation Bureau, said an aircraft tracking task force will address the near-term needs for flight tracking and, in partnership with ICAO, will develop best-practice guidance material, based on available flight-tracking technology. Pending the outcome of this work, airlines will be encouraged to use existing equipment and procedures to support flight tracking.

An extended family member lost his job and his house about a month before Christmas this last year. My parents called me and said something along the lines of "you work in social services, what can we do to help?" My response was "call 2-1-1." He was able to get referrals to several housing agencies, and connect with the local department of social services through his call to the 2-1-1 help line. 2-1-1 is a call center that connects people with resources, sort of like a 9-1-1, but for social services. Because sometimes you just need help when life takes an unfortunate and unexpected turn.
In Mendocino County, there are a number of resources to help with a wide range of problems: child behavior, cancer, emergency food. We are fortunate to have a 2-1-1 system as well as several crisis hotlines in our county. In addition to 2-1-1, here are some of the options for who to call when you are in crisis:
? Mental and Behavioral Health Crisis HELP line: 1-800-555-5906
? Ukiah Community Center help line: 1-800-575-4357 or 707-463-4357
There are also specific information and referral services to help with parenting, child care, and information related to seniors.
? Rural Communities Child Care: 707-467-3200 for child care information and referral
? Raise & Shine: 462-1233 (or 1-866-60-SHINE) for difficult child behavior
? Senior Information and Referral: 1-800-510-2020 for issues relating to older adults
While specific hotlines can be helpful, sometimes you don't know exactly who can help solve the problem or what to ask. That is when it can be helpful to have someone to call to help you figure out who you need to call. Enter 2-1-1 Mendocino. 2-1-1 Mendocino helps connect people with the resources they need. This could range from help with housing to help finding a place to get diapers.
When you dial 2-1-1 you are connected with an information and referral specialist. They are trained human service professionals who know how to help identify what you need, and are trained to search a database of local resources to help you find it. The call agent will ask some questions and then provide relevant resources. It is estimated that the average person makes 9 calls before being connected with the right resource. What could take you a couple of hours and several frustrated calls, only takes a few minutes with 2-1-1.
2-1-1 began in 1998 in Atlanta and has quickly taken the nation by storm as about 90% of the Unites States has 2-1-1 coverage now. 2-1-1 has also proven its use as a valuable tool in emergencies as it alleviates pressure on the 9-1-1 system, having played a key role in disaster response efforts such as the San Diego fires and Hurricane Katrina. In Mendocino County, 2-1-1 was initially implemented in 2010. Since its launch, it has helped thousands of people 2-1-1 and is now celebrating its 4th anniversary with a relaunch highlighting its new website, new call center provider, and new local resource specialists. The recent changes will strengthen the 2-1-1 system, improve its accuracy, and make it easier for callers to get the information they need.
2-1-1 is an especially valuable tool for parents with young children as it is an easy way to get connected with help when you need it. For many families, early childhood can be hard ? adjusting to life with a small child, new demands on financial resources and new challenges. This can all place stress and strain on a family. 2-1-1 can make it that much easier to find help when you need it most, and it is only a phone call away.

Is the music industry really full of bollocks?
How has the simple process of writing and performing music turned into a complex web of rights, power, rules, regulations, bureaucracy, middlemen, charlatans and hustlers? AIR general manager NICK O'BYRNE thinks he knows the answer.
Last week we all watched as the charismatic, opinionated and handsome lead singer of a prolific and iconic Australian band got angry, then frustrated, possibly a little confused, and then angry all over again.
Steve Kilbey of The Church got pissed off about a royalty cheque. His US Record label Second Motion had apparently sent him just $400 for what Steve believed was all his digital sales in the US. That's a pittance. A day later he recanted the statement saying that he was actually angry at his own band for not managing themselves properly. He thought that if The Church had their shit together, they wouldn't be in this position in the first place.
Meanwhile, Second Motion released a statement saying the cheque was actually six month's worth of mechanical royalties for The Church's last studio album, Untitled #23. Mechanical royalties are just one type of royalty generated when you sell music. Steve would've also been paid sales royalties, sync royalties and public performance royalties separately. According to Second Motion, they'd paid him a hell of a lot more than $400 over the past year. Apparently they'd paid him every cent that they owe him.
They also said that it was a little uncouth for Steve to bring this whole thing to the public's attention without checking his facts before people made an internet mess out of the whole thing. After that, Steve got riled up and responded by saying that actually he was pissed off at his label after all. What's more, he said he'd found some "interesting new friends" who would enforce his need to be paid more. Money. Accusations. Drama. Threats.
I'm not going to make a judgment call on Kilbey versus Second Motion. Both parties make reasonable points and I'm a little nervous about what Steve's "interesting friends" are capable of doing. However, amid claim and counter-claim, there's one thing Steve said to The Sydney Morning Herald's Bernard Zuel that resonates with almost every artist, manager and small label that I've dealt with in the last couple of years: "I just feel incredibly frustrated that I am the geezer at the centre of a little industry and I have absolutely no control."
In one simple sentence Steve encapsulated the reason why "The Music Industry" has a reputation for being full of bullocks. He wants to know how on earth the simple process of writing and performing music has turned over the years into a complex web of rights, power, rules, regulations, bureaucracy, middlemen, charlatans and hustlers.
Well, I think I know the answer: Distribution.
I'd be surprised if any working musician in Australia knows exactly what happens to their music after they hand it over to their final masters to a label or distributor. They have no idea about the faceless but necessary companies that convert the track and its accompanying metadata into dozens of formats and squeeze it down the internet to aggregators, who in turn disseminate it among digital service providers, MP3 stores, streaming services, mobile phone companies and background music providers. And once a fan pays for the music, how much money can these faceless companies take before the artist even sees a cent?
"It's now virtually impossible to sell your music to a large audience without the major labels taking a clip of your earnings"
When it comes to record labels, we know that marketing, publicity and A&R all play a role in the success of an artist but it's the distribution of music into stores (physical and digital) where the largest players in the music industry exert their power. In the digital realm, distribution requires the processing of literally millions of lines of metadata, negotiating royalty rates with hundreds of digital stores and then accounting back to artists, publishers, labels and collection societies. The process is so elongated and complex that there are now only three record labels in the world that can deliver music to every store without help of a middleman. That's Sony, Universal and Warner. The majors. This is why those companies are so powerful.
Throughout the 2000s, as a way of heading off a major label distribution monopoly, dozens of independent distributors started up worldwide. Indie labels and artists adopted these services on masse to the point where the most successful of these did so well that they then became an attractive target for take-overs. They were duly purchased. By major labels. Square one.
It's now virtually impossible to sell your music to a large audience without the major labels taking a clip of your earnings. They may not own your music but they control where your music goes and how it gets there.
The increasing reliability on large scale digital distributors to get music to consumers has an inverse relationship with the amount of control artists and small labels have on the price their music is sold for, who it is sold to and the way in which it is sold.
If you read Steve Kilbey's statement next to Second Motion's, you'll see they are in furious agreement. They're stung by costs that they have no control over and feel like they're seeing diminishing returns. It's hard to foresee any huge changes to these distribution chains in the near future, so as an artist, manager or label, what can you do to avoid Kilbey-like levels of frustration at the music industry of the 21st-century?
Sell your music yourself
Kilbey threatened to put the entire catalogue of The Church on Bandcamp so you could buy direct from the band. It'd be a pretty damned good idea if it wasn't likely to breach his contractual relationships with at least 15 labels. When you hand over an album directly to a fan, no one is standing in the middle taking money. Indie labels have been selling "direct to fan" for a long time and it's a method that suits niche artists. You'll see the trend grow over the next couple of years. It makes common sense. You got a mailing list? You playing gigs? Then sell direct. You won't get on the ARIA charts but you will see the lion's share of your earnings.
Demand transparency
If you want to reach a wider audience through streaming services, iTunes and everything else, if you want to sell tens of thousands of albums to make a living from your music then you'll need distribution. Suck it up and enter deals with your eyes wide open. Question every line in your royalty statement and question each clause in your contract. Much of Kilbey's frustration was directed internally at himself and his own band, they're no good at managing themselves and they never asked the right questions at the right time.
Understand the industry
Understand that iTunes will take 30 percent of your sales. Understand that good distributors will probably take 20 percent after that. Understand that streaming services pay diddly-squat but will expose you to unprecedented audiences. Understand that there are plenty of circumstances where these companies are helping your career and that they actually deserve to get paid for the role they pay.
Music businesses are still businesses. They'd like to make money. Ask yourself if they adding value to your career as a musician and if the answer is yes, then paying them a percentage of your sales royalties is fair deal. If all of the above sounds too hard, get a manager to do it for you. If it sounds too hard and you can't get a manager, then perhaps a career selling your music just isn't for you? Play gigs, write rad tunes and play music for love. It won't pay the rent but your inner-Steve Kilbey might stay more sane.
Nick O'Byrne is the general manager of the Australian Independent Record Labels Association. Their annual Independent Music Awards are being held this Tuesday (October 16) at Revolt Art Space in Melbourne. Nominees here.

|Reviews for To Make a Widower
| Dammit Hannah chapter 1 . 8/11/2011
Wow! I really admire your gift for comedy (I do think it's funny). really, I have nothing negative to say about it
| The Dragon Mage chapter 1 . 4/12/2009
absolutely freakin marvelous! i can't stop laughing... fangirls are indeed terrifying... hehehe!
| tonraq chapter 1 . 1/25/2005
Brava! Encore!
| Tziporah chapter 1 . 12/4/2004
Yay that was the best ever
Best line:
Morgoth was cheering the fangirls on from beyond the Walls of the World, munching on ethereal popcorn
other best line:
"Legolas! Leggy-kins!" Arei screamed with the extra exclamation marks reserved for the seriously mentally disturbed. The Elf winced.
I must be seriously mentally disturbed (i dont doubt it) because i always use way too many exclamation points! Yay!
Anyway, thank you for someone who has read the books including the sil, now i know that all the people who have read the books are not dead or my mom (and my mom doesnt even remember them)
| Tindomiel chapter 1 . 10/31/2003
bravo! Hilarious!
| UnDeadGoat chapter 1 . 10/13/2003
"F-ë -a-n-o-r" lol. how do you pronounce umlauts? "Her skimpy gown clashing neatly with her hair" EVEN BETTER! The first fics I read were Mary-Sues, but pretty well-written, so I didn't mind them. I actually thought they were original...but then I discovered, at ff.n, that they were WAY cliche. so now, i'm thinking about writing a mary-sue parody instead of a mary-sue. though i may have self-insertion for added effect.
| dauntless-hurin chapter 1 . 8/6/2003
Joy! There are not enough Celebrian fics out there.
Ohh, Elrond's going to have a long night, isn't he?;)
"'Tis naught. Once I mislaid my betrothal ring and Amarië threatened to make me eat it."
*falls off her chair laughing*
| LordVaughan chapter 1 . 7/13/2003
Funny! I think you could have trimmed the dialogue a bit, but on the whole a great job!
| alena chapter 1 . 5/25/2003
Celebrían rules!
How do you keep on coming up with stuff like this? Once again, there are too many wonderfully hilarious things, *everywhere* in this fic, that I don't know where to begin...
"But fate was against our gallant heroine, as Vairë was rather … ah, let us say busy, as we would rather not know what the Doomsman of the Valar looks like with no clothes on."
Well, actually...Ahem. Never mind.
The fangirls are incredibly horrible. I do hope that Finarfin feeds them to something really nasty. The "Mary Sewer" sounds quite interesting...
And there is even Finrod and Amarië! *adores them*
(sorry for the stream-of-consciousness review)
| Sunsong chapter 1 . 5/25/2003
This was a hilarious read! Celebrian was very well drawn.
| a certain elf chapter 1 . 5/25/2003
"Mirkwoods' wonder-child". Hehehe. Brilliant.
| Lalwen chapter 1 . 5/25/2003
You are the absolute Queen of this sort of fic! Truly fabulous, damned hilarious and it was wonderful to see Finrod in a fic too!
All hail! ;)
| Pika chapter 1 . 5/25/2003
Oh, fun fun fun. CleVER. Loads of hilarious and pert descriptions, neat and fast-narration and a brilliant mix of Silm&LOTR Canon and Suedom. Characterizations were verra good-loved Elrond. ("scary eyebrows guy"!) And for such funny writing (Maedhros beaming himself to get away from his father's cackling-pricless! LOL), it's also pretty dramatic... gah, I hate it that the fangirls succeeded to wound Celebrian! (Their twisted logic was so pat, though!)
Your mastery of Tolkien canon, 'Sue cliches and comic writing are quite excellent. Congrats and thanks!
| Kira chapter 1 . 5/25/2003
I love you! Celebrian has to live! :)
And I think Manwe has right to have a good night, as well as Lord Elrond. And Mary-Sue... They have to understand the word: canon
There are other ways to comfort Lord Elrond, than to make him a widower... And I know some ways.. Ohohoho! And I'm not an evil Mary-Sue, but a good one, who doesn't wish Elrond to be sad/widower, but to be happy :)
100% if I dare to say.
| Jill O'Brien chapter 1 . 5/24/2003
Brava! This ROCKED! I was laughing the whole time. Oh, this was so, so, so good. Loved the descriptions of the Suvian clothing and their whacked-out ideas. And the tongue-in-cheek humor. BRAVA! More, more!

At World's End
Posted on June 25, 2012
No much academia to report on today. Instead, we got up around 4:15 AM to catch a zodiac ride up the Na Pali coast. The ride itself was a blast. Scooted along the tops of waves much faster than expected, a thrill I thoroughly enjoy. Also ended up getting utterly soaked. Our amazing pilots gave us a treat by taking us into some sea caves, including one with a huge skylight right over an island in the middle. Hard to believe a place like that could exist. Even better, the queen of R & B herself, Mary J. Blige filmed a music video there! Truly hallowed ground. Our destination was Nualolokai (sp?), a beautiful, secluded area only reachable by boat. Apparently most tourists are only allowed to come for a brief time, but we were permitted to stay all day. Hard to say much besides wow. Got an archaeological tour, did a little field work, then hung out in paradise. The reef presented ample tide pooling opportunities, we went for a hike up the cliff, where we ended up finding some good rock hopping and several dead goats. The highlight though was the snorkeling. It was so good in fact that I stayed out long enough to let the sun utterly destroy my back. Rough. Totally worth it though. Some great coral, some cool fish, and best of all, some sea turtles, one of which was huuuuuuge. Just followed it coasting along for a few minutes. Really a special experience. The way back was just as fun (especially as I got to sit at the very front for a bit), then we got home for pizza! Crashed super early after such a long day but it was really incredibly awesome all around.

Lady Dutch soccer builds strength for season
By Jordan J. Michael
GUILDERLAND The players on the Lady Dutch soccer team have plenty of speed, but Head Coach Barb Newton is uncertain of their fitness level as the team edges closer and closer to the start of the 2010 season.
"This area is a hotbed for soccer," Newton said at Monday's practice. Guilderland plays in the highly competitive Suburban Council with the likes of Bethlehem, Niskayuna, Burnt Hills, and Shenendehowa. "We have to be ready," said Newton.
Senior Katie Wood said that the team is "hitting" the weight room for "a lot" of fitness exercises that include push ups, sit-ups, and planks, an abdomen-strengthening exercise in which the athlete holds her body rigid, like a plank, in a modified push up position.
Wood wasn't sure which teammate could lift the most weight, but said, "We'll find out soon."
"We have to focus on the fitness side of things first," said Newton. "We're behind in that department."
To end Monday's practice, players paired up to work on heading the ball. Newton encouraged her players to each throw the whole body into a header. "It's a challenge, but you can't show any weakness in the air," she said. "You have to be aggressive."
In 2009, the Lady Dutch won one sectional contest and finished with a 9-6-1 record. The team has 16 girls returning, including 10 seniors, all looking to grow as 2010 moves forward.
"We're trying to build it up," said senior Jess Marini, going into her fourth year with the Dutch. "We've always been young, but talented. Our progression is moving ahead at a steady pace."
One thing Guilderland has not been able to do in the past five years is beat Bethlehem. The Eagles were the last team the Lady Dutch played last year, losing, 4 to 0, in the Class AA quarterfinals.
"I wish we didn't have to play them," said Newton. However, Guilderland meets Bethlehem at least twice every season.
Senior Kyra Malamood is excited to have one last shot at the Eagles. "Beating them would be euphoric at this point," she said. "We have to be optimistic about it."
"We always went into it with a strong mentality," Marini said of past games against Bethlehem. "They're always a great team, but we never thought that we would be crushed by them."
Guilderland will have to tighten up on defense since the graduation of its two goalies Erin Kelly and Marissa Page. Sophomore newcomer Jenna Cubello will fill the position, and Newton said the defense will be "reworked" to prevent shots. "We have to control the possession," Newton said.
"We have potential in the back and our speed should help us win the ball," Malamood said. "I think we should be more concerned about scoring goals."
Not one player from last year's team scored 10 goals; junior Marissa Cubillos led the Dutch with six. Newton is hoping to see a few players emerge as top scorers.
"It has to do with confidence and not taking that extra unneeded touch," Newton said. "We'll get more shot attempts if we control the ball at our feet and turn with pressure."
"We're all pretty fast as is," said senior Lexxi Martini, pointing out the teams strength. "The fitness work will help our endurance."
The Lady Dutch may have to improve on a number of pieces before its first game against Mohonasen on Sept. 7, but one part of the team that can't be compromised is its chemistry as a group. "We've all played together for a real long time," said Wood.
"They all agree on the common goal of getting through sectionals and winning," Newton said. "Everyone is here to make each other better with individual support."
Guilderland will spend Friday and Saturday at the Shenendehowa Scramble, which is a series of scrimmages.
"Last year was kind of, you know, whatever," Wood said. "We have some serious chemistry this time and it should push us through."

The Washington Post on Al-Aulaqi
My former colleagues at the Washington Post editorial page this morning have a thoughtful piece on the targeting of Anwar Al-Aulaqi, on which Kevin Jon Heller and I sparred earlier in the week. The Post largely takes my view of the subject, though the editorial does not analogize Mr. Al-Aulaqi to a hostage taker. The nub of the argument reads:
U.S. citizens who take up arms against the country are enemy combatants and are indistinguishable on the battlefield from other belligerents. The political, legal and moral calculus of addressing the threat posed by an American enemy combatant such as Mr. Aulaqi changes when he is located outside a recognized war zone. The discussion should be -- and we trust would be -- dramatically different if he were residing in an allied country willing to use lawful means to capture and turn him over.
But when a target is hiding in a lawless state or in one which refuses to cooperate in his apprehension, other alternatives must be considered, including targeted strikes. The decision to target an American must be a last resort, used only when other lawful means of apprehending the person are unavailable or too dangerous to pursue. Such decisions should be approved by the president, and the bipartisan leadership of congressional intelligence committees should be notified in advance. [State Department Legal Adviser Harold] Koh said in [a] speech that this practice is already followed, even in cases involving non-citizens. "The imminence of the threat, the sovereignty of the other states involved, and the willingness and ability of those states to suppress the threat" are taken into account before striking, he added.
In the case of an American, the government should go to even greater lengths before carrying out an attack. For example, the president should consider whether the target can be notified of his status and given the opportunity to turn himself in. The executive should also consider making public the general criteria -- excluding ultra-sensitive methods and sources -- that it uses to designate an individual for the target list.
U.S. citizens do not lose all their constitutional rights when they head overseas, but they also cannot use their citizenship as a shield when they join enemy forces with the intention of carrying out violent attacks against the country or its interests.
A few thoughts:
First, the Post has correctly sketched out here a some gradations of the problem that are independently important and worth highlighting. The issue is not the U.S. military's or the CIA's killing of a citizen fighting with the enemy overseas per se. If our forces are fighting, say, the Iraqi or German or Japanese armies and they engage a particular unit in doing so, nobody would suggest that they need to pause first and verify that none of the soldiers in that unit are U.S. citizens. To the contrary, we expect them to engage the enemy, and a U.S. national who signs up with the enemy is, as the Supreme Court has said in the detention context, not relieved by his citizenship of the consequences of his belligerency. So far, the issue is actually easy.
It only gets difficult when U.S. forces specifically target the U.S. national knowing of his citizenship. And even then, it presents a difficult question only in narrow circumstances. In very few will specifically targeting a U.S. national constitute a lawful and reasonable option. Where the option of arrest either by U.S. forces or some other government, for example, is live and realistic, targeting the person will generally fail at least two different tests. The country in question will not typically consent to a use of force on its territory in such circumstances, creating a potentially serious violation of that country's sovereignty. And the option of arrest will greatly erode as well the analysis of the imminence of the threat the target poses. This is why we do not have drones circling over Europe and why our agents don't jab people with ricin-tipped umbrellas on the streets.
As a practical matter, the circumstances in which targeting an American would be both lawful and reasonable is limited to situations in which, as the Post suggests, state incapacities in the host country make "other lawful means of apprehending the person . . . unavailable or too dangerous to pursue."
The Post also correctly focuses on the question of notice, which seems to me important because notice gives rise to the option of surrender. The presence of notice is obviously not a legal precondition for targeting a person, but it strikes me as an important prudential step in Al-Aulaqi's case in legitimizing whatever steps against him the government may ultimately take. It's easy to imagine the circumstances in which U.S. forces would not want a given person even to know he was on their radar screens, let alone that they meant to capture or kill him. But where doing so is not operationally self-defeating, giving notice as publicly as possible--and making clear that the United States will accept the target's surrender as an alternative to killing him--is definitely best practices.
Finally, I also agree with the Post that the government should say as much as humanly possible about what added review the executive branch applies to a targeting decision that concerns a U.S. national. I'm not sure in a Platonic sense what the right amount of added review is--probably a lot--but I see no good reason why the general bureaucratic procedures should not be discussed publicly.

Dimitri, Greg, > I want to say a big big +1 here. The way replication and PITR setup are > implemented now are a very good prototype, it's time to consolidate and > get to something usable by normal people, as opposed to PostgreSQL full > time geeks. Well, one thing to be addressed is separating the PITR functionality from replication. PITR needs a lot of features -- timelines, recovery stop points, etc. -- which replication doesn't need or want. I think that focussing on streaming replication functionality and ignoring the archive logs case is probably the best way to logically separate these two. Presumably anyone who needs archive logs as well will be a professional DBA. > I could prepare a patch given some advice on the replication protocol > integration. For one, is streaming a base backup something that > walsender should care about? Yeah, I thought there was a prototype for this somewhere. From a user perspective, using a 2nd pgport connection for the initial clone is fine. I don't know if we want to worry about it otherwise from a resource management perspective; presumably the cloning process is going to be a pretty big performance hit on the master. > BTW, do we have a clear idea of how to implement pg_ping, and should it > reports current WAL location(s) of a standby? pg_ping? > That needs a way to define a group of standby. There's nothing there > that makes them know about each other. Let me clarify. I meant that if I try to make a *single* standby point to a new master, and that new master was behind the standby when it failed over, then the attempt to remaster should fail with an error. I do *not* want to get into standby groups. That way lies madness. ;-) > Now say we have pg_ping (or another tool) returning the current recv, > applied and synced LSNs, it would be possible for any standby to figure > out which other ones must be shot in case you failover here.

The LSN isn't enough; as others have pointed out, we have a fairly serious failure case if a standby comes up as a master, accepts transactions, and then we try to remaster a 2nd standby which was actually ahead of the first standby at the time of master failure. I haven't seen a solution posted to that yet; maybe I missed it? > Sorry, next time I'll make sure to bash Robert too.

The 2nd CommitFest is almost complete. If we're going to make any substantial changes, we need to have patches for the 3rd commitfest. And I didn't see anyone discussing simplification until I brought it up. I don't realistically think that we're going to get 100% simplification for 9.1.

Teen charged over fatal Mareeba crash
Police in far north Queensland have charged a 17-year-old boy over a fatal crash near Mareeba, west of Cairns yesterday.
Eight teenagers were in the four-wheel-drive that was allegedy stolen from Trinity Park in Cairns.
A 15-year-old girl from Machans Beach died in hospital after the vehicle she was travelling in crossed onto the wrong side of the Kennedy Highway before crashing in a paddock on the Atherton Tablelands.
Two of the other seven other teenagers on board were flown to Townsville with life-threatening injuries.
Inspector Jim Plowman says the occupants should have been at school at the time the crash happened.
"The 17-year-old driver was unlicensed and has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death," he said.
"All eight people in the vehicle are known to police and there's a number of them that we are continuing to interview regarding a range of offences across the Cairns area."

How to delete multiple hidden files
Hope this isn't a stupid question but I did a search and couldn't find the answer. I am using ubuntu 8.04 and have a separate home partition. While setting it up I had a few failures and was left with several directories containing many hidden files which I can't seem to delete. The man pages for 'rm' didn't seem to provide the answer either.
Is there a flag or escape sequence that will allow 'rm' to delete these files?
Not sure if it works in Ubuntu but in CentOS I've used rm -rf to delete files and directories without warnings.
WARNING: using "rm -rf" could be like killing ants with a pile driver.....
First, can you see the files you want to delete? "ls -a" should show all hidden files.
Second, check permissions. Or just su to root (or use sudo in Ubuntu and its progeny)
If all is in order and you still cannot delete something, then "rm -rf directoryname" can do the trick. First, be absolutely sure that you know what is in that directory.
Before doing any of this, having all you data backed up is always a nice touch........:)
Hey, thanks for the help. I managed to delete the directories using 'rm -rf directory_name'.
I had tried 'rm -rf *" from within the directory but had no luck.
I am still not sure why I couldn't delete them them that way but, at least they are gone now.
Warning !!!
pixellany your absolutely right, it's risky and should not be done unless you're sure what you're doing. My mistake was to take for granted that the user knew what he was doing and therefore I provided this suggestion. What I should have done was to warn him first and then provide the solution. Thank you for the comment, I'll be more careful in the future.
rm -rf * does not delete your hidden direcotories. why dont you try with "rm -rf .*"? After executing this, it may give the the error rm: cannot remove `.' or `..'
(Solved) How to delete multiple hidden files
kingston said:
"why dont you try with "rm -rf .*"?"
I did try that but it did not work. Like I said, I am not sure why.
Also, this is my first post to this forum and it wasn't obvious to me how to mark this thread as solved. Hopefully, putting it in the title block will work.

I had the same problem (If you want to call it a problem) with that bullet. I think it has to do with the bullet shape or ogive. I had to get them down to 1.010 to get them to fit into my pistol but I can't remember the grains of Win 231 I used (I would have to go back through my records) They shot through the gun but I was uneasy going below published C O L's and just put them back in the box and stored them on the bench. I still have about 600 of them and if I get the time I was thinking about going with a less grains of powder and see if they would shoot better (More accurate) but it all comes down to my gun didn't like the bullet.
Now all that being said, Berry's Bullets are some of the best bullets I have used and their customer service is some of the best. Who knows some day I might buy a new 9mm and it just might like them.

COVINGTON, Ky. – In a display of bipartisan leadership, Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear and Ohio Gov. John Kasich Wednesday signed an agreement that describes in broad terms how the two states will cooperatively build a new bridge over the Ohio River between Cincinnati and Covington, Ky.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood joined the governors for the landmark announcement.
While the exact structure type is still to be determined, the selected roadway alternative for the long-awaited bridge is a two-deck span that would carry all of Interstate 75, plus southbound lanes of I-71 and three southbound lanes of local traffic.
It would be adjacent to, and greatly reduce the load now being shouldered by the Brent Spence Bridge.
"Working together, our two states have made excellent progress toward a long-awaited solution for the commercial and commuter bottleneck that the Brent Spence Bridge has become," Beshear said. "Gov. Kasich and I both recognize, and are in full agreement, that a second bridge is an absolute necessity. This agreement reflects our resolve to see it become reality."
"The businesses and citizens that use the bridge every day need relief from gridlock today, not 30 years from now," Kasich said. "I look forward to working closely with Gov. Beshear to make a real change and deliver the Brent Spence Bridge quickly."
The two-deck Brent Spence, which opened on Nov. 25, 1963, today carries the entire load of both I-71 and I-75 and two-way local traffic. Though structurally sound, it is classified as "functionally obsolete" because of its narrow lanes, absence of emergency shoulders and limited visibility on its lower deck.
Under the selected alternative design, the Brent Spence would undergo renovation and remain in service to carry two northbound lanes of I-71 on its upper deck and three lanes of northbound local traffic on its lower deck.
Kentucky and Ohio already have made significant strides toward realization of a new bridge. Preliminary design work has been completed, as has a federally required environmental assessment that resulted in a "Finding of No Significant Impact" (FONSI) by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in August 2012.
The Memorandum of Agreement signed by Governors Beshear and Kasich outlines remaining duties and responsibilities of each state.
Key points include:
• The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) will formally establish a Bi-State Management Team to jointly oversee the project.
• The team will be responsible for evaluating procurement options, preparing a Major Project Initial Financial Plan required by FHWA, procuring professional services when needed, maintaining a project website and managing public relations.
• KYTC and ODOT will be jointly responsible for costs associated with the investigation of project procurement options.
• Work performed in Ohio under the agreement will be governed by the laws of Ohio. Work performed in Kentucky will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth.
The signing of the agreement was the latest example of the way in which Gov. Beshear and Gov. Kasich have worked together in a spirit of bipartisan cooperation, spokesmen for the two states said.
In 2011, the two governors joined forces in the fight against the proliferation of "pill mills" and the illicit traffic in prescription narcotics. In May 2012, Beshear was Kasich's guest at a ground breaking in Ironton, Ohio, for a new bridge ODOT is constructing between Ironton and Russell, Ky.

Showing in the Bred-by-Exhibitor class used to be "the thing" when an exhibitor had something they were really proud to present to the fancy. It still is an important class at specialty shows, and especially at the National Specialty, but I've noticed in recent years that at the typical all-breed show, the entry in Bred-by is not usually as strong as in the Open class, and sometimes not even as strong as the Puppy classes. Still, for many breeders nothing makes them more proud than winning from this class.
Recently when unpacking a box of pictures and mementos, I came across the first "Breeder Owner Champion" medallion I received from AKC. I won it with a Toy Poodle bitch, Ch. Foxfire Once In A Blue Moon. 'Olive' was, in my opinion, one of the best Toys I've bred, a typey little blue bitch who finished in puppy trim back in 2001. She finished with three majors and a Best of Variety win over specials.
Prior to receiving the medallion in the mail after Olive finished, I frankly wasn't even aware that AKC awarded these medallions to dogs that are finished by earning all of their points from the Bred-by class. It was such a nice surprise.
AKC began awarding these medallions in May 1996. In addition to the breeder/owner-handlers of conformation champions that finish from Bred-by, AKC awards them to every dog that becomes an obedience, lure-coursing, herding or field champion if all points are earned when the dog is owned or co-owned by its breeder.
Truthfully, had I been aware of this program, I probably would have always entered my dogs in Bred-by, but on occasion I showed them in the Puppy class when they were very young.
Today AKC offers an even more appealing incentive to show and finish our dogs from Bred-by. Beginning in 2008, breeder/owner-handlers of five champions finished from BBE, each of which will have received an original Bred-by medallion, get a silver medallion, and those who finish 10 champions receive a gold medallion, each inscribed on the back with the number of champions finished.
I think that of all the incentives AKC offers its exhibitors, this is among the most special. I really appreciate the recognition this offers to breeders. I suspect there are quite a few successful breeders out there who've accumulated many of these medallions!
AKC sends out the medallions quarterly, in January, April, July and October. In April 2012 alone, 150 individuals were awarded the silver medallion and 51, the gold. All breeder/owner-handlers who've received the silver and gold medallions are listed on the AKC website. I'm guessing that many more would be awarded if more exhibitors were aware of this special recognition.
