Well, in my case it is Loch Lomond (ranked #56 in the world), located thirty miles north of Glasgow in Scotland. I have completed playing 23 of the 24 courses in the British Isles on the world top 100 list. Although most are private clubs, they follow long-standing tradition and allow visitors to book a round as long as you follow their rules and protocols. The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers (Muirfield) is the second most difficult course to get on, just because they restrict tee times more than any other club. However, they do allow you to play without a member, as do all the others. Loch Lomond Golf Club is a very private affair. You must play with a member, and you cannot just ring up the club and book a round.
Organized in 1994, Loch Lomond was setup in the tradition of Augusta National or Pine Valley; it has an international membership and doesn't really serve as a local golf club in the traditional sense. In fact, Loch Lomond is constituted as a 'destination' club to be 'savored' only a few times a year. Membership is organized around specific geographic regions. The club has appointed specific 'Club Captains' to assume leadership and membership responsibilities for these geographic regions and ensure a particular geographic mix of members.
Loch Lomond has the most pompous approach I have ever seen to membership. They describe themselves as a "private and discerning international golf club." Their P.R. sounds a bit pious to me. They describe Loch Lomond as "a singular place to meet on the world stage...It is a sanctuary not just for golf aficionados but for world thinkers." What does that even mean? World thinkers? So it's the Davos of golf clubs? The U.N. of the links? Get a grip on yourselves, boys.
Also taken from their marketing literature, "Loch Lomond has a state-of-the-art, exceptionally amenitized spa in a walled garden." An exceptionally amenitized spa? What is an amenitized spa? Does that mean they put out a lot of fruit and little shampoo bottles the members can take home? I wonder if colon cleansing is included among the spa treatments? It sounds like some of the people that write the marketing pieces here need to have their pipes cleaned. Perhaps a bit of a high colonic will prevent them from abusing the English language like this. Their marketing piece is like something written by a chain-smoking, over-lipsticked, highly-caffeinated realtor in Nevada: adjectives gone wild. Their rhetoric borders on being as obnoxious as Donald Trump's. One gets the feeling that there are a lot of raised pinkies as they drink their cocktails at Loch Lomond.
Members of this high-minded include Nick Faldo, Ernie Els, Colin Montgomerie and His Royal Highness Prince Andrew. It also has an unusual feature that I have never heard of before. They limit the amount of play that members may have. Most clubs have a limit on guest play, but I've never heard of limiting member play. Members are limited to playing the course no more than fourteen times in any given year. The guest policy is, by definition, restricted since you have to play with a member.
Rossdhu House at Loch Lomond
Although the club is very exclusive, the course is known to the public because each year, the week before the Open Championship, the Scottish Open is played here. This allows outsiders a peek at what has been called the most beautiful setting in the world. Their clubhouse, Rossdhu House, is an 18th century Georgian mansion, and serves as a focal point in the scenery with the loch and the mountains in the background. It looks very special indeed.
Apparently, their approach to running a golf club hasn't work out as planned. They went into receivership in late 2008, making it more difficult for me to play the course. I've known two members over the years but both dropped out due to the increasingly high dues and the restrictions. I was offered a chance to play recently, but I guess they are so desperate for revenue that they're trying to soak anybody that comes near the place. I'm sorry, but a £600 guest green fee is just wrong. This highfalutin, haughty approach is an outrage.
In this era of de-leveraging, the Loch Lomond Golf Club model is coming apart at the seams. How many people can now afford the hundreds of thousands of dollars required to join a vanity club like this?
I take their bombastic approach to things as a challenge to be overcome, which I accept with pleasure. I have done this twice previously and this one should be easier since there is no language barrier like there was when I tried to book a tee time at France's Morfontaine and Japan's Hirono.
I am now singularly focused on getting onto Loch Lomond and I will keep you appraised of my developments.
Maybe this would be a good time to break out some of that "In Residence at the Lodge" letterhead I picked up at Sea Island and write them a letter. Perhaps they will be impressed. I'm working on some florid language of my own to approach the club with.
I'm also dusting off my recording equipment and am about to make some calls...

About the Park Theatre
25 North Madison Avenue
North Vernon, Indiana 47265
(812) 346-0330
The Park Theatre Civic Centre is the gem of North Vernon, Indiana: a performing arts venue, a classic movie house, a civic gathering place and a focal point of a renewed, historic Hoosier downtown.
Originally opened in 1916, this stage saw performances from vaudeville acts to silent films. Playing primarily as a movie house through the 40s and 50s, it closed in the 1960s as business declined and larger movie theaters opened in the surrounding counties.
However, in the 1990s, a group of civic-minded individuals formed a non-profit to renovate this majestic venue back to working condition and would eventually usher it into an era bigger and better than it ever was before. Led by the passion and heart of Bill & Hulda Reichenbach, the Park Theatre Civic Centre Board of Directors organized a $1.3 million renovation that was completed in 2003. Opening its doors in October of that year, it has become the focal point of a revitalized historic Downtown North Vernon that continues to flourish today.more info

A. Oracle Solaris ZFS Version Descriptions
The following sections provide detailed information about the following storage pool components:
The most basic element of a storage pool is physical storage. Physical storage can be any block device of at least 128 MB in size. Typically, this device is a hard drive that is visible to the system in the /dev/dsk directory.
A storage device can be a whole disk (c1t0d0) or an individual slice (c0t0d0s7). The recommended mode of operation is to use an entire disk, in which case the disk does not require special formatting. ZFS formats the disk using an EFI label to contain a single, large slice. When used in this way, the partition table that is displayed by the format command appears similar to the following:
Current partition table (original): Total disk sectors available: 286722878 + 16384 (reserved sectors) Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector 0 usr wm 34 136.72GB 286722911 1 unassigned wm 0 0 0 2 unassigned wm 0 0 0 3 unassigned wm 0 0 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 0 5 unassigned wm 0 0 0 6 unassigned wm 0 0 0 8 reserved wm 286722912 8.00MB 286739295
To use a whole disk, the disk must be named by using the /dev/dsk/cNtNdN naming convention. Some third-party drivers use a different naming convention or place disks in a location other than the /dev/dsk directory. To use these disks, you must manually label the disk and provide a slice to ZFS.
ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks. For more information about EFI labels, see EFI Disk Label in System Administration Guide: Devices and File Systems.
A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label. You can relabel a disk with an SMI label by using the format -e command.
Disks can be specified by using either the full path, such as /dev/dsk/c1t0d0, or a shorthand name that consists of the device name within the /dev/dsk directory, such as c1t0d0. For example, the following are valid disk names:
Using whole physical disks is the easiest way to create ZFS storage pools. ZFS configurations become progressively more complex, from management, reliability, and performance perspectives, when you build pools from disk slices, LUNs in hardware RAID arrays, or volumes presented by software-based volume managers. The following considerations might help you determine how to configure ZFS with other hardware or software storage solutions:
If you construct a ZFS configuration on top of LUNs from hardware RAID arrays, you need to understand the relationship between ZFS redundancy features and the redundancy features offered by the array. Certain configurations might provide adequate redundancy and performance, but other configurations might not.
You can construct logical devices for ZFS using volumes presented by software-based volume managers, such as Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) or Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM). However, these configurations are not recommended. Although ZFS functions properly on such devices, less-than-optimal performance might be the result.
For additional information about storage pool recommendations, see the ZFS best practices site:
Disks are identified both by their path and by their device ID, if available. On systems where device ID information is available, this identification method allows devices to be reconfigured without updating ZFS. Because device ID generation and management can vary by system, export the pool first before moving devices, such as moving a disk from one controller to another controller. A system event, such as a firmware update or other hardware change, might change the device IDs in your ZFS storage pool, which can cause the devices to become unavailable.
Disks can be labeled with a traditional Solaris VTOC (SMI) label when you create a storage pool with a disk slice.
For a bootable ZFS root pool, the disks in the pool must contain slices and the disks must be labeled with an SMI label. The simplest configuration would be to put the entire disk capacity in slice 0 and use that slice for the root pool.
On a SPARC based system, a 72-GB disk has 68 GB of usable space located in slice 0 as shown in the following format output:
# format . . . Specify disk (enter its number): 4 selecting c1t1d0 partition> p Current partition table (original): Total disk cylinders available: 14087 + 2 (reserved cylinders) Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 root wm 0 - 14086 68.35GB (14087/0/0) 143349312 1 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 2 backup wm 0 - 14086 68.35GB (14087/0/0) 143349312 3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
On an x86 based system, a 72-GB disk has 68 GB of usable disk space located in slice 0, as shown in the following format output. A small amount of boot information is contained in slice 8. Slice 8 requires no administration and cannot be changed.
# format . . . selecting c1t0d0 partition> p Current partition table (original): Total disk cylinders available: 49779 + 2 (reserved cylinders) Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 root wm 1 - 49778 68.36GB (49778/0/0) 143360640 1 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 2 backup wm 0 - 49778 68.36GB (49779/0/0) 143363520 3 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 4 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 5 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 7 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 8 boot wu 0 - 0 1.41MB (1/0/0) 2880 9 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
An fdisk partition also exists on Solaris x86 systems. An fdisk partition is represented by a /dev/dsk/cN[tN]dNpN device name and acts as a container for the disk's available slices. Do not use a cN[tN]dNpN device for a ZFS storage pool component because this configuration is neither tested nor supported.
ZFS also allows you to use UFS files as virtual devices in your storage pool. This feature is aimed primarily at testing and enabling simple experimentation, not for production use. The reason is that any use of files relies on the underlying file system for consistency. If you create a ZFS pool backed by files on a UFS file system, then you are implicitly relying on UFS to guarantee correctness and synchronous semantics.
However, files can be quite useful when you are first trying out ZFS or experimenting with more complicated configurations when insufficient physical devices are present. All files must be specified as complete paths and must be at least 64 MB in size.

New England is famous for its glorious foliage as billions of leaves change from green to a kaleidoscope of colors. The air is crisp and cool – perfect for hiking, biking or a classic drive along back roads, where farm stands are piled high with crunchy apples and orange pumpkins.
The leaves started turning colors in the northern regions of Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire around late September and will probably peak around mid-to late October. Along the coast of New Hampshire and southern Maine, color starts later and often lasts up until November.
Maine's official tourism website has put together a particularly interesting driving route that begins in Kittery and loops up along the southern coast through York, Ogunquit, Wells, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, Scarborough, CapeElizabeth, Portland, and Freeport. After checking out the iconic L.L. bean flagship store, the route heads west through the Sebago Lakes Region and includes a covered bridge and an historic Victorian village before looping back to Kittery. The route offers myriad vistas of woods, water, and mountains while pointing out great opportunities to take in some of the most interesting cultural, historic, and scenic spots in Southern Maine. To check out the route, click this link: Antiques and Boutiques.
For those more inclined to explore on foot some excellent spots to get in a quick hike are listed below:
- The Kennebunkport Conservation Trust preserves tracts of land that have helped maintain the scenic and idyllic charm ofKennebunkport Maine and the surrounding areas. The Trust maintains large parcels of land with excellent trails. In particular, the Smith Preserve is well known for its trees and unique wildlife.
- Wells Reserve at Laudholm Farm features seven miles of easy to moderate trails that cover a variety of habitats and offer rich opportunities for discovery. Take the beach trail down to the ocean, passing trees and grasses reaching their peak of color.
- The North Loop Trail at Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park in Freeport presents an exceptionally bright yellow display that normally peaks in mid-to-late October.
- Bradbury Mountain State Park in Pownal provides views of surrounding forests and Casco Bay's Calendar Islands. The foliage color peaks usually occur in late September to mid-October.
Regardless where your interests lie, Maine in Autumn offers a beautiful destination rich with tradition and endless entertainment opportunities. We will gladly offers suggestions to help you tailor the perfect visit to Maine and Kennebunk / Kennebunkport.

I am trying to respond to all of them as fast as I can. I appreciate all the kind words and interesting stories. But I think the best thing I can do at this point is to try to arrange all the strong emotions and curiosity that people have about the TSA in an artful manner; transform it all into something new and beautiful, like Marcel Duchamp turning a urinal into a conceptual masterpiece.
So here are two letters from passengers and one from someone who is, I believe, a current or former screener: letters I chose to publish because they manage to achieve a fairly fluid narrative dynamic when placed together.
This one comes from Eric, who I believe is a current or former screener, given the very insider-y feel of his proposed addition to the Insider's TSA Dictionary (I will update all the best proposed additions to the Insider's TSA Dictionary in one lump post somewhere down the road). At any rate, after his proposed dictionary entry, he went on to say:
…I can't argue with anything you say on your blog, and even if I could, I probably wouldn't. However, I do feel like it's akin to poking a crippled, retarded bear with a sharp stick.
Dear Eric,
You're right.
Our next letter has a warm and fuzzy vibe to it, a rarity among all these letters I'm receiving. TSA most certainly is a large, crippled, neurologically-disabled bear. And so now we will lovingly stroke the bear for a moment. This one comes from Anne Marie:
Dear Taking Sense Away,
Here's my favorite TSA story:
My father visited me in Oregon one year. I had just lost my job, but had
previously promised to adopt a coworker's cat. My father agreed to take
the cat back to California. Naturally, the cat would fly with him.
First of all, this was no ordinary cat. He was big,
fuzzy, orange, and extremely friendly…
…Dad took him through the line and offered to put the cat through the x-ray. Naturally the TSA ladies shouted him down and said they would need to search Fred manually for, you know, WMDs.
The first lady put her hands in the bag, and felt up Fred, front and back,
paws, belly, tail, etc. Fred LOVED it. She then called over her coworker,
insisting that she had to check too. Fred purred some more.
When every single one of the TSA bag search people had "searched" Fred,
they let him through. Fred was deliriously happy with the attention, all the
ladies at the bag search got to feel up the fluffiest, fuzziest, furriest, happiest cat on the planet…
…As evil as the TSA can be, they were thorough with Fred. He didn't unload
his litterbombs until Dad got him home.
-Anne Marie
Dear Anne,
Thank you for sending in this warm and fuzzy story– well-written, too, and just in time for the holidays. I especially loved how you prefaced the conclusion of the story with "As evil as the TSA can be…" It's almost as though the TSA actually not being aggravating/senseless/rude/infuriating/offensive for once is something to write home about.
The large, crippled, mentally-challenged bear needed this.
Wishing you the best,
Which brings us to our last letter, for now, from anonymous:
Dear Taking Sense Away:
I'm a very frequent flyer, traveling every week all around the US.
I try to be a good citizen, and so although I have deep doubts about the usefulness of TSA's procedures, I do try to do my part and follow the TSA's directions. Sometimes this means I have to deal with screeners who are, quite frankly, morons. But sometimes, I get screeners who seem like honest, decent people who are in fact just trying to make the best of a bad situation.
As a mere passenger, what can I do to help these good screeners? What can I do to be a better passenger, perhaps make their jobs a little easier for them, maybe make their day just a little bit brighter?
Dear anonymous,
As a screener, by far, the most spirit-lifting thing that passengers would occasionally say to me and a few of the screeners I worked with on the checkpoint was: "Wow. A really cool TSA screener, for once!" So, saying something to that effect will let a cool screener know that he or she is actually accomplishing something.
You could also try bringing a big fluffy kitty with you through the checkpoint, because screeners generally find that to be heart-warming, as Anne Marie pointed out. Although there has been intelligence, which TSA is well aware of, regarding half-assed terrorist plots to surgically implant IEDs inside of pets (probably in an attempt to see if the TSA would begin confiscating and or vivisecting pets at the airport in response.)
So be careful with that strategy, Anne Marie and Anon.
Happy Holidays,

Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill Location Bans Guns, Stirs Up Major Controversy
Toby Keith is known for being opinionated in his music and in interviews, and it would seem that non-apologetic approach to standing up for what he believes in has carried over to the singer's I Love This Bar & Grill restaurants.
The newest location in Woodbridge, Va. -- a state that allows residents to openly carry guns -- has a sign that reads "No Guns Permitted" on their door. But more than a few especially vocal patrons who were angered to be greeted by those words have vowed to never step foot into the establishment again.
A Facebook page for the restaurant has been inundated with comments, both good and bad, about the policy. "That sign on the door means that I will never try your restaurant. It is a cultural thing among we Americans … It is the fact that you seek to restrict a Constitutional Right that bothers the public," one reads. "This is what will cost you."
Management of the restaurant responded to the outrage via the social media site, explaining:
"While we understand and respect every person's right to own and bear arms, we at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill, with guidance from the State of Virginia and based on insurance regulations, have adopted a no weapons policy. It is our desire to provided a safe, enjoyable and entertaining experience for our patrons and staff."
Country fans will remember that just over a month ago, outlaw singer Wayne Mills was shot dead at a bar in Nashville after an altercation with the bar owner. When asked about the I Love This Bar & Grill gun banning, some individuals are leaning toward safety, saying it's a smart idea not to mix alcohol and guns.
"I think it's a great idea," Jayne Marconi, a traveler from Ohio, told the local Fox 5 news station. "Anywhere there's an establishment that serves alcohol, I'm going to tell you right now, alcohol can make you do funny things. So that absolutely makes me feel more comfortable."
Keith has two more I Love This Bar & Grill restaurants opening in Oxnard, Calif. and Houston, Texas in the near future, bringing the total to 17 restaurants.

Why Does Barack Obama Hate the iPad?
President Obama gave the commencement address at Hampton University on Sunday, encouraging the graduates of the historically-black school to close the achievement gap between African-American and Latino students and their white classmates. More importantly, he dissed the iPad.
A week after speaking at the University of Michigan about improving civility in public discourse, the president dropped by Hampton University to give the commencement address and receive an honorary doctorate for contributions to Kenyan Marxism studies. His address focused on the disparity in academic achievement between white students and black students—a worthy subject if there ever was one—and in it, he urged Hampton grads to be "mentors in [their] communities." The full text of the speech, which is really worth reading, can be found here.
But who cares about all that, besides people invested in making the world a more just and equal place (losers)? Barack Obama mentioned the iPad. The only way Google's top search terms could get closer together would be if Justin Beiber went on American Idol with Naked Pictures of Lady Gaga. For the record, this is what he said:
Meanwhile, you're coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't rank all that high on the truth meter. With iPods and iPads; Xboxes and PlayStations; information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment. All of this is not only putting new pressures on you; it is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy.
That's right, not only did Barack Obama talk shit on the iPad, he said it's a threat to democracy. Do you know what else is a threat to democracy? Terrorism. Does Barack Obama think the iPad is a terrorist? Seems likely!
Really, though, what is he even talking about here? The iPad is... "putting new pressures on our democracy"? Video game systems and MP3 players are turning information into a "distraction"? There is not even any information on an iPod, unless your mistagged Weird Al MP3s count as "information"!
Then again, it was one line in a smart speech, and... not at all important vis-a-vis his larger point.

I tried installing some multi-floppy games today but unfortunately my floppy drive is dead. I've got IMA backups though. Unfortunately, DOSBox doesn't allow to mount more than one to the same drive letter (like it does for CD images) which means I can't run the installation routine through cause it needs me to switch the disk in between.
I was able to circumvent this for some games by just copying the files or modifying the install.bat so it uses drive b for the 2nd disk which I can mount to that. But this doesn't work for all games, e.g. Super Space Invaders apparently wants to extract files and everything's hard coded into a install.exe. I have no way of installing that game (unless maybe I use a virtual floppy drive in windows which I don't want because of extra drivers etc.)
Seems kinda weird to me that this isn't supported yet. Does everyone else have working floppy drives or are you all just playing abandonware which doesn't need to be installed?!?
I'd love to see this feature in a future version. As the same is already there for CDs I don't think it should be too hard to do, should it?
thanks for listening
"To the OP: it seems like you should be able to mount a single directory (C:\DISK on your PC, let's say) to A: in DOSBox, and copy only the contents of Disk 1 to it; then, when prompted for Disk 2, simply delete everything in C:\DISK and copy the contents of Disk 2 into there, and rescan with CTRL+F4 in DOSBox. Doesn't this work? If not, where does it go wrong?"
from a user in a similar thread helped. BUT it's only a workaround and this functionality would be very welcomed
bah, install worked but the game doesn't "abnormal program termination".... grrr
okay, using invgame instead (which skips the intro) works

Guidelines for fan art
Hi, everyone. This is all taking off very quickly and so I wanted to make some important policy statements right off the bat, to head off any misunderstandings about making fan and derivative content from Erfworld art and characters.
Two very important principles are true about Erfworld:
1. We passionately encourage Erfworld fans to express their enthusiasm, to participate, to advertise & get their friends to read, and to create new works in the Erfworld universe.
2. We are equally passionate about our ownership of the art, characters, story, dialogue, and trademarks of Erfworld.
These two principles might seem contradictory, but they really do not have to be. We plan to spend a lot of time, energy, and money to encourage fan works. We'll be providing things like high resolution source art, character notes, historical and geographical info, how-to-draw tutorials, and other useful materials. We'll run contests for fan art, fiction, animation and the like. We want to showcase the best of the fan works, and eventually we hope to be in the position to compensate them too.
But equally, we'll spend time, energy and money to stop any unlicensed commercial uses, trademark and copyright violation, trademark dilution, and other threats to Erfworld as a brand and a property.
This page will be our policy statement and FAQ for matters of intellectual property rights. The main thing everyone needs to understand, though, is that Erfworld is an open sandbox to play in, but we created the sandbox and we own the sandbox. Jamie, Xin and I reserve the right to do anything with any fan content that we want to, including telling you "That's inappropriate; take it down and knock it off."
So please keep that in mind when you are creating any stuff related to Erfworld. There's more to come here, including an explanation of the Creative Commons license.

Rotary club gets history lesson
Members of the Kinston Evening Rotary Club recently were reminded of the value of Bill Rowland�s interest and knowledge of history in Lenoir County. In an Oct. 9 address to the club, Rowland surprised the members by sharing that the remains of the Confederate gunboat, CSS Neuse, had been sold to someone from the north in the 1860s and the ship engine had been removed by that owner.
The Ironclad was removed from its war location in the Neuse River and moved to the site on West Vernon Avenue in the mid 1960s. It is now in an environmentally friendly location on Queen Street.
The Evening Rotary Club meets at 6 p.m. Tuesdays at the House of Wang.
Woodmen Center rep addresses Lions
The Kinston Host Lions welcomed Danny Rice as guest speaker at its Sept. 13 meeting.
Held in the banquet room of the Woodman Community Center, the meeting was followed by group tours of the new facility, led by Rice and Kinston-Lenoir County Recreation Director Bill Ellis.
The Kinston Host Lions meet at 6:50 p.m. second and fourth Thursdays at The Folded Napkin.
Nominate now for 2013 Governor�s Award
Nominations are being accepted for the 2013 Governor�s Award for Volunteer Service.
This is the 34th anniversary of the program that showcases North Carolina�s most dedicated volunteers. Each county selects five individuals, businesses and /or groups and one director of volunteers to be recognized for outstanding community contributions. One of the five recipients will be nominated to receive the Governor�s Medallion Award for Volunteer Service. A local committee evaluates the nominations.
There are a few changes for the 2013 year. The forms must be completed and returned to the Kinston-Lenoir County Visitor�s & Information Center by Nov. 8. They must be typed, with two references. The name on the certificate will appear as it is on the nomination form. The recognition ceremony will be in conjunction with National Volunteer Week in mid April. The winners will be notified by letter in late March.
Nomination forms are available at the Kinston-Lenoir County Visitor�s & Information Center, 101 E. New Bern Road, by calling Tourism Director Lucy Marston at 252-522-0004 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Completed forms must be received no later than Nov. 8 to be considered for the Lenoir County Awards.

Reduced starting currents don't justify derated controllers, but different motor time ratings may affect required horsepower ratings.
An elevator service firm reported that it was seeing motor starters for some of the elevators it was working on being sized smaller, in horsepower rating, than the motor it was controlling. Specifically, the elevators in question were driven by 25-hp DC motors. The hoist motor was powered by a 15kW generator which in turn (the common "Ward-Leonard" configuration) was run by a 25-hp AC 3-phase motor. The AC motor was controlled by a magnetic starter with a top rating of 15 hp.
The service firm asked if this arrangement ever met NEC requirements, and more importantly, whether it would today. Its customers made light of the concerns, saying that since the motors started with little load in a reduced voltage (wye-connected) mode, the smaller controller size was perfectly adequate.
The firm wondered about the ability of the reduced size controllers to interrupt the locked-rotor current of the motors. There weren't any markings that would indicate some special evaluation had been made for the reduced-size controllers.
The EC&M panel's response
We agree with the service firm, and the fact that the AC motor may have a wye-delta controller is irrelevant. The relevant Code rule is Sec. 620-15:
The motor controller rating shall comply with Section 430-83. The rating shall be permitted to be less than the nominal rating of the elevator motor, when the controller inherently limits the available power to the motor and is marked as power limited.
This is a new rule in the 1996 NEC and modifies the general rule in Sec. 430-83 that motor controllers "shall have a horsepower rating at the application voltage not lower than the horsepower rating of the motor." The reduced rating is now available because some modern adjustable-speed drive systems are capable of controlling the elevator drive without demanding full-horsepower controller performance.
Prior to the 1996 NEC, however, Art. 620 didn't take any exception to the general rules in Art. 430 on sizing motor controllers. Sec. 430-83 has been in the Code, essentially unchanged, for more than 60 years. Therefore, even when the elevators were installed, the installation was questionable.
Could the rating be lower?
At this point, many readers may be wondering what the big deal is - a 25-hp motor needs a 25 -hp controller; this is an open and shut Code violation. In this case that may be true, but we think the AC drive motor might also be larger than necessary. The KW rating of the DC adjustable-voltage generator and the hp rating of the AC motor powering the drive don't bear any direct relationship to the rating of the actual DC hoist motor because of the differing time ratings of the motors involved.
The hoist motor is usually a 30-min or 60-min rated motor, based on the full-load-up running condition, the worst case. This type of motor rating is quite useful for the intermittent duty [per Sec. 620-61(b)(1)] required of elevators, where a normal duty cycle might involve a 40% run time with 120-80 starts per hour under various conditions of loading. The duty cycle limits the amount of heating, which removes the necessity for running overload protection (Sec. 430-33) and cuts the required conductor ampacity to the actual hoist motor (not the AC drive motor) to 90% of nameplate [Table 430-22(a), Exception].
The resulting hp rating of the drive motor, which is partly a consequence of its time rating, may therefore vary significantly from the AC drive motor. This is because, in contrast, the AC drive motor on Ward Leonard elevator drive systems must be continuously rated in accordance with the applicable NEMA standard. In addition, the DC generator may be nominally overloaded as well. Remember, these generators are usually designed to commutate up to three times their rated current without excessive arcing at their commutators.
Therefore, you might see 15-hp continuous-rated AC drive motors (with 15-hp controllers) for these elevators with larger hp time-rated hoist motors. However, if as in this question, the AC drive carries the same rating as the actual hoist motor, then that rating must be respected in sizing its controller.

Tools & Finishing
Adhesives and Cleaners, Paint, tools
|Adhesives, cleaners, lubricants
The old adage about having the right tools for the job applies to model railroaders too! Most household tools are simply too big, and household cleaners and lubricants aren't the best choice for use on plastics.
Over the years, a full line of tools for modelers has evolved, that includes smaller versions of many common items such as screwdrivers and rulers, as well as specialty items such as sanding sticks and applicator brushes built for working with smaller projects.
With finer pigments that don't fill in details, paints color-matched to actual railroad schemes are available for touch-up or custom projects. You'll also find small bushes, airbrushes and similar tools made especially for hobby painting projects.
Working with many wood, plastic and metals, model railroaders often require different types glue to complete kits or make repairs, many of which are really handy for house-hold chores too. This includes basic white and yellow glue, many different formulas of cements for plastics, as well as a full selection of "super glues" for joining small parts, filling gaps and bonding dissimilar materials.

When you're a renter, relocating for a new job isn't too difficult. You give your current job your two-week notice, your landlord a 30-day notice, put down your deposit on your new place and within a month you have a whole new life.
But things aren't as easy when you're a homeowner. Indeed, one of the biggest perks of owning a home is that you can set down roots, so it makes it more difficult to move to a different location and settle down again.
As exciting and welcoming as the new career may seem, as a homeowner, you might start to wonder whether it's the right choice or whether it's worth it.
Our office often hears from others in situations just like this --weighing their options for selling their home and relocating for a new job. Here are some things to think about before you decide for or against relocating for work.
New city, new career, new home. It all sounds pretty fantastic but remember that there more to life than just work.
The decision to relocate your life shouldn't be made hastily. Try to separate yourself from the romanticism of it and consider all the ramifications that this change would have on your life, as well as the lives of your family.
If relocating makes sense and you've decided to take a new position, it's time to decide what to do about your existing home.
One option is to buy a second home and keep your first home as an investment property. There are specific location requirements when it comes to having two mortgages, one for your primary residence and the other for your investment property. However, since you are relocating, meeting location requirements will unlikely be an issue and applying for a loan for your new home begins the same as the first time around.
What may end up being a problem is the actual management of the property. Managing a rental property in a different location can be difficult. While it comes at a cost, you may want to use a property management company to take care of it for you.
The other option and the one we most often recommend is to sell your first home. Read on to see how to get started.
Buying a home comes with a sense of urgency, but when combined with a work relocation, the anticipation doubles. Here's how you can prepare and make a move quickly and easily.
We can help! Our track record of on-time closing combined with our digital mortgage processing moves you through the process fast. Contact us today to get your pre-approval started.

What does this milestone mark?This milestone is significant because it marks:
- a release candidate for our MVP (minimum viable product) design (including semantics, binary format, and JS API)
- compatible and stable implementations of WebAssembly behind a flag on trunk in V8 and SpiderMonkey, in development builds of Chakra, and in progress in JavaScriptCore
- a working toolchain for developers to compile WebAssembly modules from C/C++ source files
- a roadmap to ship WebAssembly on-by-default barring changes based on community feedback

Since WebAssembly is still behind a flag in Chrome (chrome://flags/#enable-webassembly), it is not yet recommended for production use. However, the Browser Preview period marks a time during which we are actively collecting feedback on the design and implementation of the spec. Developers are encouraged to test out compiling and porting applications and running them in the browser.
V8 continues to optimize the implementation of WebAssembly in the TurboFan compiler. Since last March when we first announced experimental support, we've added support for parallel compilation. In addition, we're nearing completion of an alternate asm.js pipeline, which converts asm.js to WebAssembly under the hood so that existing asm.js sites can reap some of the benefits of WebAssembly ahead-of-time compilation.
What's next?
Barring major design changes arising from community feedback, the WebAssembly Community Group plans to produce an official specification in Q1 2017, at which point browsers will be encouraged to ship WebAssembly on-by-default. From that point forward, the binary format will be reset to version 1 and WebAssembly will be versionless, feature-tested, and backwards-compatible. A more detailed roadmap can be found on the WebAssembly project site.

Lotus Biscoff Truffles
Review Recipe3 stars based on 2857 votes
These delicious sweet treats make a lovely hostess gift. Don't worry about forming perfectly round truffles. The charm of hand-made truffles are their irregular shape.
- Place chocolate chips in a microwave safe medium bowl.
- Cook at high power in microwave oven 50 seconds to 1 minute.
- Stir until chocolate is completely melted.
- Stir in Biscoff Cookie Butter until well combined; let stand while crushing Biscoff Cookies.
- Finely crush cookies in a food processor or in a heavy plastic bag with a rolling pin or meat mallet (there should be about 1-1/3 cups).
- Set aside 2 tablespoons of the crushed cookies; stir remaining crushed cookies into chocolate mixture, mixing well.
- Chill in refrigerator 10 minutes, stirring once after 5 minutes. (Do not chill longer as mixture will become too hard to spoon out).
- Spoon a heaping teaspoon of the mixture into mounds onto a sheet of waxed paper. (If mixture is too wet, stir in 1 tablespoon additional cookie crumbs at a time).Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes to "air dry".
- Place powdered sugar in a small bowl. Pick up each teaspoon of the mixture and shape into a ball or rough truffle shape. Place in bowl of powdered sugar; use 2 forks to toss until well coated with sugar.
- Place in individual paper or foil candy cups or on a serving plate. Store at room temperature.

XHTML 2.0April 16, 2003
Yeah, everyone's talking about XHTML 2.0 this week, but it's such a non–issue.
The W3C pumps out good specs for useful technologies, but widespread use just ain't there. Look at PNG. A patent–free image format to replace GIF, it expands on the 16–year old technology by offering full Alpha transparency. It is 8 years old now, and we still can't use it. Why not? The most popular browser of all, Internet Explorer, won't display the alpha transparency properly. Which makes it all but useless for regular development.
While there are some great things coming out of the W3, adoption is slow, if it happens. A very large time is needed for anything to come of a new technology from them. XHTML 2.0 may catch on in, oh, 2010 or so. Until then, I'm sticking with my 1.x.

UCL Institute of Education
The Jagdish Gundara Memorial Symposium
Global Challenges to Social Justice and the Future of Intercultural Education
Friday 9 February 2018
Venue: Lecture Theatre (G12)1-19 Torrington Place
London WC1E 7HB
An all-day symposium to honour the memory of Professor Jagdish Gundara (1938 – 2016)
First Director of the International Centre for Intercultural Studies, UCL Institute of Education
This symposium will seek to explore some of the immediate and recurring challenges to the achievement of social justice in a global context and their ramifications for intercultural education. Specifically, issues concerned with truth, equity, social division and diversity will be highlighted as a backdrop to a discussion of signposts for positive intercultural engagement at all levels of education. While recent political events and continuing violence and warfare, together with migration and refugee 'crises', contribute to an ongoing climate of fear and reaction there is also an impetus to engage with more imaginative perspectives in the pursuit of increased global justice. Accordingly, the symposium aims at a cross-disciplinary approach with contributions from those in fields such as law and the social sciences, as well as those who are involved with pedagogy, adult learning and teacher education.
The programme details can be found at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-jagdish-gundara-memorial-symposium-tickets-42125757274?utm_source=eb_email .

When you lose your mojo, where does it go? I think for me, when I take a tumble off the fitness wagon, I just keep telling myself that well since you missed yesterday, you might as well not go again today. Which is WRONG! I don't know why I do that to myself, but I do. I start to think about how hard it will be to get back into it which isn't the right attitude, but I am looking forward to signing up for a race once we get back from Europe. I also think that the fact that I know I will be gone for so long it's hard for me to be motivated to train for anything, another misconception in my mind. It stinks I have to write that to keep me accountable, but it's honest and true and I know I have to be honest with myself so that I actually get my butt back into gear.
Pilates yesterday killed me. It was a good burn though and I am getting a lot better on the reformer. It's quite weird but I do feel it working many different smaller muscles and it has helped a lot with my posture.
Last night Shea and B and I went to Concert in the Park and with a Michael Jackson Impersonator and a Lady Gaga impersonator, let me tell you it was hilarious and the people watching. WOW. It was pretty fun and we will definitly be going back again soon!
We received great news last night that our offer is officially approved and we are going to be in Escrow on the house starting next month. We are so incredibly blessed. I can't get over it! We will be able to live together soon! :) We hope to move in late September after we get it painted. We figured painting it before we move in would be much faster and easier.
B said the first thing we have to do is put up an American Flag. :) I am SO excited that we are going to have a place to live!
So here's to hitting up the gym tonight and getting in a run tomorrow morning. No matter how far I run and how much I walk, I'm going to get one done!

Before our shiny 'n' new site arrives we thought we'd introduce another new article type. The concept is incredibly simple: one of our number likes a band, does the who-what-why paragraph, drops in a video (or audio link) and you tell us if you love them too.
Ra Ra Riot
Ra Ra Riot's** debut album The Rhumb Line is finally out next week – but it's not the sort of record that's left millions sobbing the words "why God? Why do you allow such suffering? I WANT IT NOW!", but you really should. Probably still best known for the sad accidental death of drummer John Ryan Pike, a better kept secret is that RRR have made the finest straight down the line indie pop record of the year: harmony drenched, string-swept, more hooks than a pirate convention and tinged with ineffable sadness at the death of their friend. Personally I put the lack of buzz behind the record down to the fact 2008 only seems big enough for one hyperliterate crew of New York State-based baroque poppers. That would be Vampire Weekend, a perfectly reasonable bunch who've received acres of press for tunes that sound not a million miles away from RRR's, save for the fact they aren't as catchy, sound more like Sting, and tend to have the emotional impact of a woodlouse. I'd bet my cardigan that had their albums come out the other way round then none of VW's preppy shirts and cursory world music influences would have saved them from the abyss. Anyhoo, you'll be able to make your own mind up when The Rhumb Line comes out, but in the meantime, feast yer eyes on the new video for album opener 'Ghost Under Rocks':
And then by way of comparison - and because any beef I'm trying to stir up here is clearly fatuous in light of the fact Ra Ra Riot are supporting Vampire Weekend on their November tour - here's VW's latest vid.
Ra Ra Riot are on MySpace here.

Not just does computer system education help in giving children a much better and more comprehensive understanding of the world, it is also vital in this world of competition.

Windows has many functions for your home. The main functions are as a ventilation, a place for light to enter and a place to look out or into the room. In general, windows are made with flat model which is flush to the wall. However, there is a window form which offers more optimum effect for those functions. That is bay window. Bay window is 3-lite projection windows which form a bay to the outside of the walls. From inside, it will seem like a kind of niche. Bay window is generally in the from of semicircle, half of hexagon and half of octagon. This window model is frequently used in Europe and America.

OS X: Disable Front Row Keyboard Shortcut
If you're like most Mac users, you probably have had the surprise of discovering your copy of Front Row. In Leopard, they improved the design, and Front Row now identifies itself as Front Row. In Tiger, all you got was this mysterious, condescendingly cheerful UI with no identifying features, which appeared out of nowhere like a fucking ninja and took over your computer for no obvious reason, giving you a variety of unappealing, irritatingly "friendly" options.
When this happens in the middle of an intense coding session, it's kind of like getting kidnapped at gunpoint and forced to go to McDonald's.
If you're like most developers who use OS X, you probably want to remove this Front Row thing from your computer. There are two ways to do this. One way is to trash the application itself. I haven't tried this; I'm afraid to. Traditionally, software of this nature reinstalls itself if you uninstall it. (See, for example, the "Downloads" and "Music" folders in OS X, or nearly every folder in the Windows XP filesystem.) Worse yet, sometimes, when you throw it away, it comes back angry.
Here's the safe and easy way to get rid of Front Row:
