Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Tomcat Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by JeanFredericClere: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/TomcatTrackUs09_Sessions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apache Tomcat 7.0 is a Servlet container for the Servlet 3.0 specification. One of the more exiciting features in this new specification is the standard support for asynchronous servlet processing. In this session we will take a look at the asynchronous servlet API, the reasoning behind, its benefits and short falls. We will also take a look at the extensions and different methods Apache Tomcat 7 provides to meet some of these short falls. ************************************************************************** + Here are the not-selected (by the planners) sessions that could go in the tomcat track: ************************************************************************** + mod_proxy versus mod_jk.

Two new retroviruses never before seen in humans have turned up among people who regularly hunt monkeys in Cameroon, researchers reported Friday.
WASHINGTON Two new retroviruses never before seen in humans have turned up among people who regularly hunt monkeys in Cameroon, researchers reported Friday.
Like the AIDS virus, these viruses insert their genetic material directly into cells and perhaps even into a person's or animal's chromosomes. Closely related versions of the viruses cause leukemia, inflammatory and neurological diseases.
The two new viruses are called human T-lymphotropic virus types 3 and 4 or HTLV-3 and HTLV-4. They are closely related to two known viruses called HTLV-1 and HTLV-2, which experts believe were transmitted to people, like HIV, from monkeys and apes.
"Because HIV originated as a cross-species infection from a non-human primate virus, the question was how much cross-species retrovirus infections are occurring and what are the consequences of these infections," said Walid Hemeine of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who led the study.
They examined blood samples from 930 Cameroonians who had handled or eaten bush meat -- monkeys or apes hunted for food.
They used antibody screening and genetic analysis to find at least six different simian retroviruses had infected 13 of the people.
"Two hunters were infected with two previously unknown HTLV viruses. One person was infected with HTLV-3, which is genetically similar to a simian virus, STLV-3, and represents the first documented human infection with this virus," the researchers told the 12th Annual Retrovirus Conference being held in Boston.
"The second hunter was infected with HTLV-4, a virus distinct from all previously known human or simian T-lymphotropic viruses."
"It's totally new so we don't know any other simian virus that is related to it," Hemeine said in a telephone interview.
Now the team, which includes researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, plans to look more extensively in Central Africa for the virus, Hemeine said. "They could be more widespread than we think they are," he said.
Hemeine said up to 25 million people globally are infected with HTLV-1 and 2. Currently, specialized tests are needed to find the viruses, he said.
"It's a new virus. You pause, you say, where is this virus coming from. I don't think you should be taking it lightly," Hemeine said.
After infecting one person, simian viruses often spread from person to person through sex, mother-to-child transmission, and other exchanges of blood and body fluids.
Like HIV, the incubation period for HTLV viruses to cause disease can last decades, the CDC said.

Floors Castle International Horse Trials is a fantastic event that only succeeds due to the enthusiasm and hard work of everyone who kindly volunteers their time.
Volunteering at the Floors Castle International Horse Trials is a fantastic way to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, meet new people and experience eventing close-up. You don't even have to know anything about eventing before you start!
We especially welcome any BE riders who would like to volunteer their time for their local event.
You can volunteer for half a day or full day. You will be provided with drinks and refreshments.
Cross Country Jump Judging
This job is usually done in pairs and sometimes even in teams. Positioned at the fence you record each rider over the fence and deal with any immediate problems that arise. You will be given a full brief from the BE Technical Adviser and the BE Steward explaining the relevant rules, how to fill in the XC jumping faults report, the flags and stopping procedures and things to watch out for. Don't worry if you haven't done it before, you can still help! You are in constant contact with the organisers and ground crew so will always have support close at hand.
To put your name forward for jump judging, please email Emma McCallum by clicking here .
Dressage Steward
This job is important as the Dressage starts the day off and so can affect the rest of the day if not started on time. The Dressage Steward generally keeps the order running to the scheduled times although there are moments when some flexibility is needed. Communicating with the Dressage Judges to accommodate any changes is required. Dressage judges put in a long day to communicating well with them as well as all the nervous competitors is desired. Depending on how many Dressage rings are set up there will be two or three of you, keeping order in what may seem like organised chaos!
To put your name forward for dressage stewarding please email Fiona Veitch by clicking here.
Additional Roles
At Floors Castle Horse Trials, there are a number of other roles available such as Crossing Point Stewards, Arena Stewards and Gaitor Drivers. All perform vital roles to help make the event run smoothly.
To put your name forward for these roles, please email our Secretary by clicking here.

That awesome Frozen themed show is at 646 Zermatt Street. The creator even has a website: LivermoreLights.com with info and videos from past shows.
But that's not the only show in town. There is a great website (started in Livermore) called LightsOfTheValley.com. It'll list all the awesome holiday light displays all around California. What's even better is that you can select 10 addresses, and it'll even plot driving directions to see them all. How cool is that!

|"And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, 'Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.'
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard [it] wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them."
Luke 2:1-20
"Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel."
Matthew 2:1-6

Location: Deeside School of Dance in Banchory
Time: 11.45am – 12.30pm
SCILL dance sessions are particularly useful for children who may find regular sessions a little overwhelming or daunting for a number of reasons. These may include coordination difficulties, processing issues and short term memory problems. They will be working at a slower pace and with greater repetition than usual sessions, which will hopefully give children more time to process information and act upon it.
Our aims are to help more children access dance, improve fitness, make friends and have fun!
These sessions run from 11.45am – 12.30pm on a Saturday during term time. The sessions are subsidised by SCILL so cost just £6 per session, invoiced termly.
For more information email: email@example.com or ring 07913 326816.

Over a quarter-century ago, on 17th August 1991, a short yet historically significant email was sent from the University of Warsaw. It was a beginning of the Internet in Poland.
26 years ago, the scientists from the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw, sent the first Polish mail sent via the Internet. Its recipient was Jan Sorensen, chief of the Computer Center at the University of Copenhagen.
– When we connected to the Internet for the first time in 1991, we were interested only in the technical aspects. No one had any inkling of the scale of the cultural and social phenomena that would emerge from the popularization of the Internet. For that reason, it is even more difficult to predict now what will happen in the future. We can expect data transmission speeds to rise and transmissions to require less and less energy. But does this mean that the life of societies will change as radically as when the first global village emerged? Today, no one can answer this question – says Dr. Gromisz from the Faculty of Physics' Computer Center.
Over the years, the Internet in Poland has gradually transformed from a tool for specialists to a service used by millions of people.

His touch would consume her—if it didn't kill her first…
Dr. Sophie Gable wasn't expecting her peaceful getaway to be shattered by the arrival of a half-dazed, dead-sexy guest. Thomas Nicasio has obviously been traumatized, and Sophie thinks she knows by what. There's something about Thomas's father that he can't—or won't—remember. Something that could get them both killed. Still she can't resist Thomas's electrifying seduction—or her instincts to help him…
An ex-Navy explosives specialist, Thomas has never felt this type of volatile need for a woman. Even while he's grieving the deaths of his brother and nephew, something in Sophie makes Thomas want to overtake her, and each time he does, her willing submission makes him want her all the more. But danger is lurking close by, and if he can't face the demons of his past, he and Sophie could be the next victims in a pattern of meaningless violence…
Read an Excerpt
Her fingers delved through thick, surprisingly soft hair, searching for wounds on his scalp. A shiver coursed through him when her hand reached the base of his skull. She caught his scent. Despite his obvious illness and uncharacteristic disheveled state, Thomas Nicasio smelled good.
Cautiously, she met his stare.
For a few seconds, neither of them moved. Sophie suspected neither of them breathed.
"Did you hit your head, Tom?" she asked eventually, her fingers resuming their careful search.
"I don't think so."
"Have you been drinking?" she asked, even though she'd inhaled his breath and already suspected that he wasn't drunk. He shook his head.
Again, he shook his head. She pushed back his bangs. Her gaze shot to his when she saw the discoloration near his hairline on his left temple.
"You have been hit." She reached for the wrist of his right arm, holding his stare all the while. Her mind churned when she glanced down and saw the abrasions and flecks of dried blood on his knuckle.
"You've been in a fight," she stated tersely. Did a shadow of defiance cross his features, or was that her imagination? Well, perhaps she had sounded accusatory. It wasn't her place to judge him, after all.
"Are you in any pain?"
"Sick to your stomach?"
He shrugged negligently.
"How is it that you're here, Tom?" she asked, despite the memory of what he'd said earlier.
I came looking for you, Sophie.
He wasn't entirely lucid, after all.
"Do you know someone who lives near here?" she prompted when he didn't speak.
"No. I only know you."
"Well…why did you come looking for me?" she couldn't resist asking in an anxious rush. "Did you find yourself getting ill on the road and need a doctor? Did you remember me telling you I was vacationing here, at Haven Lake?"
A spasm went through him and he cupped his right brow with his palm.
"I'm taking you to the emergency room in Effingham," she declared, alarmed by the sight of what must have been a jolt of intense pain going through him.
"I'm not going anywhere."
"But you've got to, you're not well and—"
"I'm not going to the hospital," he grated out between clenched teeth.
She went completely still at his harsh tone. She considered calling the police, but then he opened his eyes.
"All right."
The two words leaving her own lips surprised her a little, but she felt as if she didn't have a choice once she'd looked into those twin pools of turmoil and anguish. "You might have a concussion, but you're feverish, as well. I'll get you some Tylenol and then you need to rest. Will you at least promise me to do that for now?"
"I'm not sleepy," he said hoarsely. His gaze lowered. Heat flooded her cheeks. He stared at her breasts covered in the thin bikini top. Her body responded to his blatantly sexual gaze against her will. Her nipples stiffened beneath the flimsy fabric.
He stepped toward her.
Sophie stepped back.
"You're ill. You need to rest. Is there someone you want me to call? Will someone be missing you in Chicago? Never mind. Come on," she said when he just stared at her. She waved her hand and led him down the dim hallway to the guest bedroom. She turned on the light and inspected the state of the room. She hadn't been in it since early June, just after Andy and his wife Sheila had visited for a weekend.
Her mind sifted through his symptoms, trying to make sense of his bizarre presentation as she bustled around in the guest bath, laying out clean towels and getting Tylenol out of the medicine cabinet. His feverish state implied that something physical was going on, but the pain she'd seen in his eyes just moments ago argued for something psychological. The bruise on his temple wasn't massive, but she knew the brain could sustain considerable injury from a blow without any obvious external trauma.
Of course there was no reason why his condition couldn't be both physical and psychological, considering the amount of stress Thomas must have been under recently.
Who had he been fighting with, and why? Oddly, it didn't surprise her to consider Thomas engaging in a brawl, despite the fact that she was used to seeing only his polished work image. She'd always sensed a rebel existed beneath the smooth exterior of his perfectly tailored suits. Maybe it was the tilt of his jaw that made her think it, or the gold flecks that flashed and burned in the deep green of his eyes; or a smile that was sweet, but just a tad cocky…slow in coming and breathtaking upon arrival.
Or maybe it was just because Sophie knew he'd spent the first years of his life in a working class Southside neighborhood far from the perfectly manicured, sweeping green lawns and multi-million dollar homes of Lake Forest, where Thomas had gone to live with the family that adopted him. A kid growing up in Morgan Park would have known how to use his fist. Besides, he'd only worked in the private sector for the past few years. Before he'd taken up the reigns of his own business, he'd been in the military, but Sophie couldn't recall at the moment if Andy had ever mentioned in what branch he'd served or what his duties had involved.
She grimaced as she filled a glass with water from the tap. She felt guilty for not taking him to the hospital, even though the chances were that the emergency room physician would recommend nothing more than close observation of Thomas' symptoms for the next forty-eight hours.
And either way, Thomas had flatly refused to go, so what choice did she have?
Her level of anxiety upon entering the bedroom was unprecedented since her first year of medical school.
She carried the Tylenol in one hand and the glass of water in the other. He still stood just inside the threshold of the door. She was relieved when he took the Tylenol without argument. He stood behind her while she turned down the bed, making her highly self-conscious of her bent over position.
She added his blatant sexual stare into her formulary of symptoms, even though Thomas Nicasio's hot eyes hardly left her feeling analytical. Was he in a manic state, perhaps? That would explain his hyper-sexuality, the sudden need to impulsively escape…
…but not the bruise, fever or dazed confusion.
Was she safe with him there in the house with her? She glanced back at him and their gazes held. She exhaled slowly.
"Why don't you get into bed?" she asked, glad to hear that her voice didn't audibly tremble. He stepped toward her and Sophie glanced down, avoiding that laser-like stare. She knew she should have backed away, but she didn't.
Not even when he spread one hand along her naked hip.
She held her breath and clamped her eyes shut when she felt his thumb gently rub across a dried smear of paint. Her lungs burned by the time he bent his long legs at the knees, and he wrapped her in his arms.
He encompassed her. In that full, fertile moment, she felt Thomas Nicasio in every cell of her being.
He nudged her hair back with his nose and pressed his entire face to the side of her neck. His hardness pressed against her softness, stark and potent.
Her heart throbbed erratically in her chest at the sensation of his hot mouth moving next to her sensitive skin.
"Sleep with me, Sophie. I need your cleanness so much right now."

SARDINATA, Colombia — Crews battling dangerously high levels of methane gas have recovered the bodies of 30 coal miners killed in an explosion in northeast Colombia, an official said Sunday.
Initial efforts to remove the bodies trapped more than 1,300 feet underground by Saturday's explosion were hampered by toxic gases, said Fernando Rosales, director of civil defense in Norte de Santander state.
Rosales said 31 miners died inside the makeshift mine, while another managed to escape after the explosion but died at a hospital in Cucuta, capital of Norte de Santander.
"There's one body remaining which crews will try to remove tomorrow," Rosales said.
Dangerous levels of trapped methane made it impossible for work crews to remain below ground for extended periods.
President Alvaro Uribe visited the site, 255 miles northeast of Bogota, and vowed the government would provide economic assistance to victims' families in case the owner of the mine had not contributed to employees' pension fund — a frequent labor violation in the poorly regulated industry.
He told family members gathered outside the mine "he was overcome with grief" and promised an investigation into whether the mine had passed recent safety inspections.
The explosion was likely caused by a build up of methane gas inside one of the tunnels that ignited after a spark accidentally went off, said Rosales.
Many of the bodies were completely incinerated and heavily bruised by falling rocks, he added.
Norte de Santander is a violence-ridden state overrun by leftist guerrillas and right-wing paramilitary groups who often battle each other for control of lucrative drug smuggling routes across the border with Venezuela.
Many mines in this Andean nation are makeshift affairs with few or no safety procedures. In 2001, at least 37 gold miners were killed after a hillside gave way and swept over them at a strip mine 120 miles west of Bogota.

Donna Hair Salon by Sides Core
The unique business model of a hair salon in Osaka, Japan, is reflected in its minimalist design.
Designers Sumiko and Sohei Arao of studio Sides Core say the concept is based on background spaces that define photos. As social media increases exposure to other people's photos, we are constantly bombarded with new sceneries. The designers say they wanted the salon's space to be a 'background that could provide individuals with a sense of experience.'
Donna is hidden on the second floor of a commercial building, meaning it doesn't have a façade. Thus, the staff have opted to use Polaroid photos to communicate information about the shop.
Customers' photos are taken before and after their treatments, as they stand in the minimalist salon space. Photos are then uploaded on the company's website, with the bare furnishings seen behind each client.
'Those items aren't simply part of the shop's interior design; they are the very atmosphere of the shop itself,' say Sumiko and Sohei. 'People experience that atmosphere and take it with them to share with friends.'

Island Packet 31
This comfortable, moderate-sized cruiser is just the ticket for an Abacos-bound retrofit
Your house is worth half what it was two years ago and your 401K is in a freefall with no bottom in sight. Is it time to buy gold and rations for when the lights go out? No way, it's time to go sailing!
Looking at our balance sheet, a bit of the boat fund is still intact. The round-the-world cruiser is out of the question, but we can handle a smaller boat and a season in the Abacos. We have about $80,000 to spend-we need a comfortable boat, shallow draft, maybe 30 to 35 feet LOA. Our tastes have always been on the traditional side, but we want a modern design and definitely one made of fiberglass. After a lot of probing around, we target the Island Packet 31. The IP31 was introduced in 1983 and remained in production until 1989. The boat was very successful with more than 250 boats built, propelling Island Packet through the very shaky financial times of its day. The 31 has traditional lines, with a long sprit, full keel and a springy sheer. The hull design is a bit unconventional-like all IPs it is beamy but the maximum beam is forward of amidships.
The 31 is not the fastest boat on the water, but let's be honest, no one buys an Island Packet, especially a smaller one, to win races. The boat delivers incredible interior volume and comfort, and even more important a smooth, soft motion in a seaway. We'll spend more time making our passages but we will not get beat up underway.
We looked at boats all over the southeast-a tired boat on the Gulf Coast of Florida, a decent boat in Oriental, North Carolina, and we finally found our gem on the Chesapeake Bay. The boat we finally chose, a 1989 (the final model year), was in great condition. The boat was the most expensive one we saw but in the best shape. Like the real estate mantra "location, location, location," with boats it is "condition, condition, condition." Being the newest boat of this design, the boat was in better condition. Island Packet tweaks the boats from model year to model year, and one of the differences we really appreciated were the stainless steel ports. With the soft financial world, we had some room to negotiate and settled at $63,500.
Our immediate goal is to sail off to the Abacos, so draft is a concern. The IP31 was available with a 4-foot draft shoal keel or with a centerboard that gets the draft down to 3 feet. We opted for a keel boat; 4 feet is skinny enough for us and life is a little simpler without a centerboard.
Our first order of business was to make sure our sails were up to snuff. To assess their condition we ran them over to our trusted sailmaker, Peter Grimm at Doyle Fort Lauderdale. To our eye the main seemed a little soft and the UV cover on the headsail was tattered. Peter explained that he could repair the sails, but that it was really time for a new suit of sails. He took a lot of time to understand our plans and to make sure that the sails will support those goals.
Grimm explained that the condition of our mainsail was due to UV damage and flogging, constant enemies on a cruising boat. The prior owner was not always careful to cover the main, and we all know that flogging is a frequent condition on the Chesapeake. Grimm had just the solution to these problems: He suggested a full-batten mainsail and a Doyle Cradle Cover to act as an automatic sail cover. The full battens offer better support of the main, helping to reduce the flogging, and as a bonus make the sail easier to flake on the boom. Grimm built the mainsail with eight-ounce low-aspect fabric from Dimension-Polyant. He explained that the heavier weight would last longer and that the low-aspect construction of the fabric was designed for a short, wide mainsail like ours. The Cradle Cover is essentially a sail cover integrated with lazy jacks. The lazy jacks and cover, in concert with the battens, gather up the sail as it is dropped. The cover also holds the mainsail when we are reefed-no more reef ties! The cover is a little bulky, and I get some gentle jabbing about it being my "third reef," but it has made life a lot better.
I was concerned that the extra weight of the fabric and full battens would make the main difficult to hoist. The old one was pretty hard to deal with, and this new one would be heavier. Grimm suggested the Tides Marine Strong Track system, a mainsail track that is easy to retrofit, relatively inexpensive and reduces friction almost equal to a ball bearing track system. Tides Marine custom machines the one-piece polyethylene track to fit your spar and then you just slide it in. The sail attaches with low-friction stainless steel slides and standard batten car fittings. The system makes the main very easy to hoist, and, just as important, when we free the halyard the sail just drops right onto the boom into the Cradle Cover.
Grimm specified a 120-percent genoa for our boat. I did not think this was large enough until he explained that our J measurement (the distance from the stem to the mast) was 15 feet, meaning our genoa is almost 18 feet along the foot-plenty big for a 31-foot boat. The genoa is constructed of seven-ounce cloth, light enough to fly nicely in light air but strong enough to hold its shape when we reef it down.
In most cases we won't need to reef the genoa since we have a handy little staysail right behind it. Grimm made our staysail out of the same material as the genoa. We can use it to add some horsepower when reaching but with the heavy cloth it will also be a bulletproof storm sail. Between reefing the genoa and unrolling the staysail we should have all the "gears" we need for cruising.
We spent a lot of money with Doyle but now have a very solid set of sails. We spent $2,375 on the main, $2,510 on the genoa, $980 on the staysail and roughly $1,000 each for the Cradle Cover and Tides Marine track system. Almost $8,000 of our refit budget, but a sailboat is not much good without good sails and handling gear.
Our boat is almost 20 years old and still had the original halyards. They were a little stiff and worn, and rope technology has changed a lot in 20 years, so we chose to replace all the halyards with new ones made of 3/8-inch New England Ropes VPC. VPC is a very cool rope-the cover is a tough Dacron twill and the core is blend of Vectran and polyolefin. The Vectran is there is to give strength and limit elasticity, and the polyolefin just bulks things up for handling. Polyolefin and Dacron are low-cost materials so this rope is fairly priced. In addition to looking good and handling well, the halyards are very inelastic. This allows our new sails to keep their shape, even in the puffs. We needed 275 feet of rope and decided to replace the hardware, too. This cost $360 for the rope, $120 for the shackles, and $60 for the splicing labor, for a total of $540.
When we were sea trialing the boat we noticed that the wind indicator did not work, we got a bit of money back for this flaw but our thought was to replace all the sailing instruments. We decided to go with the tried and true Raymarine ST60 speed/depth/wind package. The gear itself was $1,200 from Defender Marine and we installed it ourselves-most of the wiring was already in place from the old gear.
The diesel ran well but we wanted to have things looked over by a mechanic before we left on our cruise. Our mechanic checked everything and replaced all the maintenance items (filters, impeller, oil and coolant) for just $450; a great deal. We could have done this work ourselves but outsourcing it gave us higher confidence and more time to go sailing.
We intend to spend a lot of time anchored out in the Abacos, and we really like our creature comforts-lights, refrigeration and a movie now and again. These expectations can't be met with a standard electrical charging system. The boat has a good house bank and 100-amp Balmar alternator, but we don't want to run the engine to charge. Our solution was to harness the ever-present tropical sunshine with a pair of solar panels. We chose to mount two 50-watt Kyocera panels on top of our bimini. We looked to eMarine Systems in Fort Lauderdale to help us out. The company sells a full line of panels and regulators and have packaged a lot of flexible mounting systems. The entire system, consisting of the panels, mounts, charge regulator and wiring, cost us $1,630. The system puts out enough power to keep up with our refrigeration needs, and it allows us to keep the engine idle for two days at a time if we are careful with our other electrical loads.
Island Packet has great owner support and we couldn't help ourselves when we visited the factory Web site, we just had to pick up some IP logo items. We bought a couple of very nice caps, a set of cocktail glasses and burgee to show off our loyalty. This little splurge cost $100, but it was fun and made us feel like we were buying a brand new boat.
A solid investment in fiberglass and stainless steel is just the answer for these uncertain times. A good boat will hold its value and you will be paid back handsomely in sunsets and memories.

State CIO Shawn Riley announced the hiring of two top positions within the Information Technology Department July 19.
North Dakota has named two new C-level executives for its Information Technology Department: Julie Cabinaw as its first chief reinvention officer (CRO) and Duane Schell as its first chief technology officer, state CIO Shawn Riley announced today.
The state is also searching for a chief data officer (CDO), which along with the two new hires will focus on North Dakota's plan to reinvent government via technology and improve the way citizens interact with the state's online and offline presence.
"Technology is key to empowering people, improving lives and inspiring success," Riley said in a statement. "Our goal is to lead the nation in innovation and a citizen-centric approach to government. Duane's and Julie's leadership skills, collaborative approach and understanding of the power of digital and emerging technologies to transform how we do business make them superb fits for these roles."
Cabinaw will begin her new role on Aug. 20. She comes from the private sector and most recently served as vice president of innovation and business technology for Idaho-based fragrance company Scentsy. Previously, she was a senior manager at Amazon, where she was responsible for Kindle content. She's held similar positions at Hewlett-Packard and Healthwise.
As CRO, Cabinaw will be responsible for "leading teams to uncover and design new experiences at the intersection of technology, innovation and business," according to a statement from ITD.
"I'm thrilled to join a team that is so focused on enhancing the user experience and finding innovative ways to serve our citizens, and I look forward to finding new ways to make a positive impact," Cabinaw said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Schell is receiving a promotion from his role as ITD's director of network services, where he has worked since 2009.
He will be responsible for the direction and long-range vision of the state's IT backbone, such as statewide cloud, computing and network services and providing service management to various stakeholders.
For example, Schell will be responsible for the strategic design, management and implementation of the statewide technology infrastructure, as well as work with state leaders to determine the technologies to transform the state's service delivery. North Dakota's IT department provides connectivity and network support to K-12 school districts and higher education, as well as to state government.
"Technology enables so many critical functions for state government, our citizens and our educational system, and I look forward to helping lead efforts to find innovative solutions to help us fulfill our potential as a state," Schell said in a statement.
Riley, who was named CIO last year, is tasked with carrying out Gov. Doug Burgum's goal to consolidate and unify 17 cabinet agency IT departments down to one. However, like a number of state CIOs, he has to persuade the legislature of approving the plans. North Dakota's legislature will reconvene in January.

Review, download and guide of the program MalwareBytes Anti-malware, free and in Dubai UAE, essential for Windows PC
After having repeatedly mentioned in many articles of the security section of this blog, especially in the guide to remove malware and viruses , I think it is also appropriate to provide a guide to the use of what is considered the best and most effective program to disinfect a computer Windows and remove any malware or viruses that hit it.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware , also known as MBAM is the most powerful free program to check and clean the PC from viruses after being hit.
Although often its use is effective after a small preparation (see the guide on what to do if your computer has been hit by a virus), Malware Bytes is a simple program, light, effective and also quite fast.
It is updated several times a day, integrates a boot system that allows it to not get blocked by the virus and is able to remove any malware it finds, completely free and without limitations.
After downloading Malware Bytes Anti-Malware, double-click on the downloaded installation file (mbam-setup.exe) and follow the wizard.
Mbam works on any version of Windows , including Windows 8, and is compatible with other anti viruses installed on your computer.
At the first start it is necessary to proceed with the update of the program to obtain the protection against the most recent viruses.
The main window of Malwarebytes, all written in English, opens on the tab of the Scan which is the most important and has only three options:
Quick scan (it's a quick check)
Full scan(in-depth control very slow)
Flash scan (ultra fast control only not possible in the free version of MBAM).
If you only suspect your computer is infected with a virus, or if you want to do a random check, the quick scan is more than enough.
In rare cases, if the PC has been saved from a serious infection brought by a malware, then you can do the full scan, which can take several hours and is very slow.
If you want to make the complete scan a little faster , you can open the Ignore section and add some folders that certainly do not contain any viruses, such as, for example, the one where the holiday photos or music are stored.
At the end of the scan you get a report indicating if malware has been found.
The program will also open a text file, the scan log, with all the information of what has been done.
In case of detected infection, Malwarebytes removes them and adds the removed quarantined objects, isolating them from the rest of Windows.
During infection removal, Mbam may ask you to restart your computer to perform full cleanup.
MalwareBytes in the free version allows you to update the program automatically and manually.
For a complete protection it is necessary that before a scan the database is updated so it is always the jar to press the update search button to be sure.
Malwarebytes Anti- rootkits Malware can be used for free when needed, without paying for it and free forever .
However, it is not an antivirus with real-time protection, so it is necessary that an anti-virus program with real-time protection is also installed on the computer (not needed inWindows 8 that already has the Windows Defender antivirus ).
If you want to use MBAM with real-time protection, then you need to buy the full version of the program by pressing the Buy button on the main interface.
It is not for advertising but, unlike many other antiviruses, MalwareBytes Antimalware costs a little: € 27 a single time, and the license is valid forever on the computer, without having to renew it every year.
With the full version you can schedule the scans automatically, scan the flash, activate the protection in real time and set a password for access.
This is one of the indispensable programs for a Windows PCso you should always keep it installed, even in the free version, to make occasional checks or to remove viruses and malware even when they seem to block everything and when the only solution seems to be to format and reinstall Windows.

Want to succeed with predictive analytics? These CIOs say it takes a lot of front-end data work and angst about cultural change.
By CIO Executive Council
Mon, November 18, 2013
CIO — If you want to learn how to succeed with predictive analytics at your business, these three CIOs offer hands-on adivce. In short, they say it takes a lot of front-end data work and be prepared for angst about cultural change.
Expect Culture Shock
Chris Coye, Senior Vice President & CIO, Disney ABC Television Group: We've implemented three predictive analytics tools this year: One analyzes what-if ad sales scenarios, another is a promotional media-optimization tool, and a third will help our executives decide which pilots to pick up. We created a small data analytics team in IT, but the models are built by Disney's revenue sciences group.
The biggest technical challenge was getting the right source data. We have multiple divisions, and that data had to be standardized. We built our own extract, transform and load tool, but we're migrating to a commercial tool to speed the process.
Culturally, these tools have caused a lot of angst. Research doesn't want sales to see its data too early; sales doesn't want finance to see its data too early. Information is now available earlier than people are comfortable with; everyone wants to maintain control over the narrative describing their results.
It's a big change driven by our CFO and CTO, with the expectation that these tools will enable better decisions. Determining whether to sell an ad or use that time slot for a show promo used to be based on gut feel; now the tool predicts what will drive more revenue--selling that ad or getting more viewers to watch tomorrow night's episode ofRevenge.
Start Small and Build Enthusiasm
James Clent, CIO, United Orthopedic Group: Our market--orthopedic braces--is a limited one, so customer retention is key. Our first attempt at predictive analytics was to identify our silent defectors: customers who don't say they're unhappy but whose orders trickle down or stop altogether. We hypothesized that we could rescue those customers if we could identify them before they left. We built a tool that, based on order patterns, could predict when a customer's next order ought to occur. If that time came and went, a salesperson would give them a call.
We started with a pilot, which reduced silent defections by 50 percent, and used what we learned to deploy the system nationally. During the pilot, we developed customer trend lines that allowed sales staff to see order volumes and deviations in addition to next-order predictions, but it was too complex.
It's important to keep it simple, get the organization used to working with predictive analysis, and build enthusiasm over time. The easily overwhelmed will get on board, and the advanced users will ask for more. Then you can have follow-up projects, like the sales budgeting and analysis tool we're building. It becomes more than a fad; it's something that lasts.

VL-1 Micro Jam – Royalty Free Electonica
This track was created using a Step Sister, a Casio VL-1, Ibanez DM500 delay and an Inkel MX880E Mixer, details below:
Using the DM500 and the inkel mixer i was able to create a wide delay effect by running the DM500's normal and inverted outputs into the mixer separately and hard panning and EQing them. Interestingly this technique isn't mono compatible though so if you're listening on a phone or tablet you won't hear any of the delay due to phase cancellation trickery :O Another quicky this one as i've been too busy to do my weekly upload so i'm trying to catchup!
Right, so here's the idea. Trying to write, upload and give away a fresh piece of music on a roughly weekly basis. Will i be able to keep it up? Will i run out of ideas? Can i be bothered? How shoddy will they be? Does anybody care? God knows. But that's the point.
Basically the idea is to flex my musical muscles a bit. I have collected quite a bit of gear over the years and not much of it is getting used as much as i'd like, so this is my attempt to justify all those purchases whilst practising improving and getting ideas down fast as an antidote to procrastination. "Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working." as Picasso once said.
Royalty free for you to use for whatever under the creative commons license. Just rip the audio out of the video for now, i'll get these tracks uploaded to a dropbox account when i get my act together. Let me know if you use it, i'd be stoked.
Arduino MIDI Sequencer – RN-9090
This is RNInstruments 12×16 step sequencer developed with the Arduino.
Korg Radias Step Sequencing Tutorial
The Korg Radias is a Virtual Analog synthesizer that was released by Korg in 2006. It takes advantage of the MMT (Multiple Modeling Technology) that their flagship OASYS synthesizer module employs. The synthesizer itself is similar in design to the MS2000, but offers many more capabilities. It is capable of emulating older digital synthesizers and classic analog synthesizers like the MS-series without any noise or aliasing. The Radias also allows for various external sounds to be fed through its filters and envelopes. It also has the Korg DWGS (Digital Waveform Generator System) that the Korg DW-8000 employs.
The Radias also takes advantage of the KKS (Korg Komponent System) which allows it to be used with the 49-key keyboard or used as a standalone rack module, and the Radias-R unit can be connected to the M3 Music Workstation/Sampler along with its various keyboard models.
The Radias has two oscillators per timbre and a noise generator. Oscillator #1 has nine basic waveforms, with four types of modulation and PCM (64 synth sounds, 128 drum sounds) and Oscillator #2 has four basic waveforms with two types of modulation. The Radias has the ability to stack up to five types of waveforms in Oscillator #1, while using only one voice of polyphony. In Unison mode, you can stack five additional waveforms, while using more polyphony. With this function, you can create some awesome super waveforms-the overall result can contain up to 25 detuned waveforms. The Radias also has two Low-frequency Oscillators (LFO) that add more modulation to the two audio oscillators. These LFO's provide six waveforms and their speeds can be set manually or by tempo.
The Radias itself has four timbres per program. With a timbre, you can assign one drum program, another can have a lead, a bass, and a vocoder as well; all in one program! Each timbre can contain one synthesizer/drum kit, equalizer, and two multi-effects.
The Radias has two filters that can be used side-by-side, individually, or in a series. They offer Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, and Combination modes. Each filter offers 24 or 12 dB modes for the low pass filter. The effects on this unit are remarkable as well. The Radias comes loaded with 33 different effects: Delays, Chorus, Flangers, Compressors, talking modulator, and even the good old Polysix Ensemble effect. You can assign one master effect to the program, while each timbre gets its own two effects, creating a whole world of possibilities. The Radias also offers a 16-band vocoder with a nice Formant Motion recording function that allows you to record up to 7.5 seconds of external audio which can then be triggered via the keyboard.
The Radias has a built in arpeggiator as well, providing six different patterns to choose from. Patterns can be up to 32 steps long and the gate/velocity can be set for each step to get that sound you want! It also has two 32-step sequencers (they can be combined for a 64-step on a single timbre). They can easily be assigned to a drum kit, for example, to use the Radias as a programmable drum machine. The step sequencer supports 8-voice polyphony per step.
OR-1m – new advanced sixteen-step sequencer
Orwell Digital has released the OR-1m Advanced Step Sequencer. The OR-1m is a sixteen-step sequencer with per-step controls for note pitch, duration and velocity. In addition, each step features four knobs for generating MIDI continuous controller data of the user's choosing when each step is called.
The OR-1m also features MIDI remote control of all significant front panel controls via MIDI Controllers. Bi-directional MIDI control is also provided, allowing for MIDI control surfaces Behringer to update their displays when parameters on the OR-1m's control panel are changed via mouse or preset recall. This allows users to experience the flexibility and performance of a computer-based sequencing solution while retaining the immediacy and feel of a hardware control surface.
The new Bias Channel allows users to easily offset the values of outgoing MIDI data without changing the settings of the individual steps. With a turn of the Bias Channel's Pitch knob, all notes being generated by the OR-1m can be transposed up or down by single steps, or radically shifted over several octaves. Thanks to the OR-1m's Force To Scale module, the resulting note output can remaining firmly in key. Similar controls on this channel allow for other MIDI output to be offset as well, including note duration, velocity and the four-per-step MIDI continuous controllers.
The Random Module allows all of the OR-1m's step and loop parameters to have their values randomly generated within user-specified ranges, either individually or with all parameters as a group. Notes can be generated over a span of a just few pitches, or the entire multi-octave range allowed by the MIDI specification. Likewise, MIDI controller data can be limited in the values randomly assigned, which can be useful when a user needs to restrict the maximum resonance setting of a filter or similar parameter.
The OR-1m also introduces the concept of Random Locks. Present on each sequencer step and sequence loop, when activated they prevent their associated area from both having its parameters changed by the Random Module, as well as protecting from value alterations due to Global Channel changes. Another purpose for this function could be found when using the Random Module to repeatedly generate new note data, while periodically "locking" the steps which the user wishes to retain and protect.
The Loop section of the OR-1m features four loops, each of which has separate settings for the highest and lowest steps that will sound when the loop is played. Loop settings also include controls for section transposition and playback direction, including forward, reverse, alternating and random playback modes.
Any of the four loops can be selected for playback individually. In addition, all four loops can be played in sequence, allowing for the generation of extremely complex melodic lines and rhythmic patterns. When per-loop parameters such transposition and loop start step and end step are randomized, this loop-chaining feature can lead to very unexpected and often inspiring results.
The OR-1m also supports note-triggered sequence playback and direct-step triggering via MIDI Notes. Note triggering allows for the OR-1m's sequencer to play its next step when a particular MIDI note is received. This allows for sequencers and MIDI instruments to control the OR-1m using a pattern of MIDI notes which could be quantized, to trigger the OR-1m with whatever "feel" the user prefers, or played live, allowing for all manner of realtime creative interaction.
Direct Step Triggering allows any of the OR-1m's sixteen steps to be triggered when specific MIDI notes are received. This provides intense flexibility in playback order and allows users to intermix sequential playback with steps called out of their pre-defined sequence order.
The Common Channel on the far right of the OR-1m's control panel allows for assignable MIDI controllers to be sent independently of the internal step sequencer. These controllers can be used to set the volume, effect mix or any other MIDI-controllable parameter of the unit or software receiving the OR-1m's MIDI output.
The Force To Scale module allows users to make every note sent from the OR-1m conform to any of a wide variety of provided scales. Key can also be specified.
The OR-1m also provides extensive patch storage capability, with over 1024 patch locations available per bank. Banks can be easily saved to and loaded from disk.
Price: $40 via digital download.

Groovesizer Alpha – first taster
The Groovesizer is an arduino-based DIY 32-step sequencer / synth – the project is based around a custom PCB that in it current form features 4 rows of 8 tactile switches and leds – the final version will add a fifth row of buttons and leds dedicated to control functions. It features an embedded hackduino, an 8-bit DAC option, an LM386 amp output, MIDI in/out/sync and is configurable to work with some of the most popular existing arduino audio projects. Firmware can be updated from the arduino IDE, either via an AVR ISP programmer, or by flashing the chip on an arduino board and swapping it out. Furthest along in its development is the Alpha firmware which features a 3 oscillator monosynth. Other firmware will include the Bravo which borrows code from the Bleeplabs Bleepdrum https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11606 , the Charlie, based around the Illutron 4-voice wavetable synth http://www.instructables.com/id/Turn-… , and the Delta, based on the original Groovesizer with the auduino synth engine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zsxWf…
The complete kit with PCB and all components will be sold for around US$100 – follow the progress on this project at http://groovesizer.com
Livid Base: Experimenting with Max for Live
Livid started some experiments with Max For Live step sequencers and the Livid Base. These are extremely rudimentary, but because they can be accessed with Device control, they are very powerful and easy to work with. Control of these step sequencers is as simple as pointing the controller to the device using the Base Remote Script for Ableton Live 9 in Device mode. One you navigate to a module, it acts as a "super device" handing off the pads and sliders to the Max for Live patch. While these little toys won't be a "final" product, we'll have something for you to play with soon!
