Aloha all,
Having getting totally nuts with the point and click interface of XP I looked into some hardware to enhance the look and feel when flying Jason's planes. Try changing settings when flying through clouds.
I found 4 modules from GoFlight Inc that work great with Sandy Barbours GoFlight plug in. For now that's my basic setup of flight control hardware.
1. AutoPilot
2. Toggle switches
3. Push buttons + rotary knobs
4. Multi mode Nav/Com display
Adding to the rig is easy: all USB based and made of iron casing. The AutoPilot unit (which is based on the B737 MCP) has presets that work out of the box, and can be adjusted afterwards. (The plugin is so flexible that the AutoPilot unit can be assigned non-AutoPilot functions, such as Taxi light, Strobe, Light, or EFIS mode selectors, to name a few possibilities.) The other 3 modules need function assignment for the knobs, buttons and modes. So that's what I'm doing to fit the Mirage for instance, the Starship, and later the EC135 helo. Settings are stored in a text file, so with a simple replacement of that file, it's easy to have a custom set of functions for each plane you fly. The magnetic labels that come with the modules will aid as a memory as you stick them in the recess faceplate. The modules have no internal lighting - that'd be even cooler.
The pic shows the current set up, except for the AutoPilot module, the 3 other ones only contain a faceplace and are supposed to be ready to be rackmounted: the circuit board is exposed at the back. It fits nicely under the 2 24" LCDs which I use with a 85 degree field of view and in HUD mode when cruising. When doing patterns I use 3D view to give me a sense of being in the front and better situational awareness. The 3 flight instruments left and right of the set are not connected btw, they're their for decoration. I'm exploring SimKits or similar simulated instruments, but a basic six + VOR would cost around 2500 USD.

The Mets have resigned starter Jeremy Hefner to a minor league deal. Hefner was non-tendered last month with four other players.
He will likely miss all of 2014 recovering from Tommy John surgery, but will be able to rehab at the Mets facilities with his new deal.
In 12 starts between May 13 and July 12, Hefner went 4-2 with a 2.71 ERA, allowing 22 earned runs, 16 walks and seven home runs with 57 strikeouts in 73 innings.
Overall, last season, he posted a 4.34 ERA and 1.293 WHIP, with 99 strikeouts, over 130 2/3 innings in 23 starts.

Rochester International Airport
|Rochester International Airport
|Airport type
|City of Rochester
|Rochester, Minnesota
|Hub for
|Mayo Clinic MedAir
|Elevation AMSL
|1,317 ft / 401.4 m
|Statistics (2017)
Rochester International Airport (IATA: RST, ICAO: KRST, FAA LID: RST) is a nonhub primary airport located seven miles (11 km) southwest of the central business district of Rochester, a city in Olmsted County, Minnesota, United States. It is the second busiest airport in Minnesota. It used to be called "Rochester Municipal Airport", which was its name before adding customs and immigration facilities specifically for Mayo Clinic purposes in 1995.[2]
The airport covers 2,400 acres (971 ha) and has two runways: a 9,034 ft × 150 ft (2,754 m × 46 m) concrete primary runway (13–31) and a 7,301 ft × 150 ft (2,225 m × 46 m) concrete secondary runway (2-20).
Commercial air service is provided by American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines using commuter jets only. Charter service is offered by Sun Country Airlines using narrow body Boeing 737 aircraft. The airport also has a large FedEx Express terminal in addition to a general aviation terminal.
The original Rochester International Airport was founded in 1928 by the Mayo Foundation as a way to get patients from far-flung locations to the Mayo Clinic. It originally was located in what is now southeast Rochester and occupied 285 acres (1.2 km²). The following year, 'Rochester Airport' was officially dedicated, and the Rochester Airport Company was founded as a subsidiary of the Mayo Foundation. Northwest Airlines began running Ford Trimotors to Rochester from its hub in St. Paul. Rochester was one of the first destinations from the Twin Cities in Northwest Airlines history, behind Chicago, Winnipeg, Green Bay, and Fargo.
In 1940, the existing runways were paved, and additional land was acquired, bringing the airport's total area to 370 acres (1.5 km²). During World War II, the Army Air Corps conducted training operations from the airport. In 1945, the Mayo Foundation gave the airport to the city of Rochester, but the Rochester Airport Company continued to operate the field under an agreement with the city. The airport was renamed Lobb Field in 1952. In the 1940s through the 1960s, the airport was served by Braniff Airways, North Central Airlines, Ozark Airlines, and other small air carriers in addition to Northwest.
In 1960 it was decided to replace Lobb Field with a new airport southwest of the town because it could not be expanded to accommodate the larger airliners and was too close to the urban area of Rochester. The original Rochester Airport was closed in 1961.
In 1960, Rochester Municipal Airport opened at its current location 8 miles (13 km) south of downtown Rochester. American Airlines began service to Chicago O'Hare in 1988. 1995 saw the addition of a US Customs post and it became the Rochester International Airport. TWA operated flights to St. Louis in early 2001, but these routes were dropped very soon due to the merger with American Airlines. On September 15, 2005, the primary runway was lengthened from 7,533' to 9,034' following a three-month closure for renovations. At the same time, runway centerline and touchdown zone lighting were both added. The change was made primarily to accommodate large wide body aircraft, which were heavily weight-restricted upon departure prior to the extension.
Plans for a new Terminal Building were recently updated to reflect continued use and investment into the existing Terminal including the addition of a US Customs Facility.
Airlines and destinations[edit]
|American Airlines
|Delta Air Lines
|Atlanta, Minneapolis/St. Paul
|United Airlines
Airport directors from the airport are attempting to get more air service into Rochester. The airport directors have recently contacted the current providers, American and Delta, about adding more destinations, and have also contacted United and Frontier, to bring new nonstop destinations to the airport.[3] On February 26, 2017, United announced it was adding three daily flights to Chicago–O'Hare beginning June 8. The new flight will compete with existing service from American Airlines.[4]
In August 2012, just days after Allegiant Air announced flights between Rochester and Phoenix (Allegiant Air has since dropped its Rochester service altogether), the United States Department of Transportation gave the airport $500,000 and the city of Rochester gave the airport $250,000 to help recruit more airlines and non-stop destinations.[5]

General Aviation Facilities[edit]
Rochester Aviation is the general aviation terminal at the airport. It is owned and operated by Hiawatha Aviation, Inc. The terminal provides line services, refueling services, and caters largely towards business aviation. On April 1, 2006, the ownership of Rochester Aviation was passed onto Regent Aviation of St. Paul. In November 2007, Regent Aviation in turn sold its ownership stake in Rochester's general aviation terminal to Signature Flight Support, a worldwide fixed-base operator provider. Aircraft rental and flight instruction at RST are available through Spectrum Pilot Services, with various aircraft providing flight instruction with a group of Certified Flight Instructors. The airport is also home to the Southeastern Minnesota Flying Club, which has had a presence at both RST and its predecessor Lobb Field for over 50 years.
Transportation to Rochester International Airport is available from downtown Rochester via $30 taxi or $15 shuttle service. Rochester Yellow Cab, Rochester Taxi, and Med-City Taxi service the airport with both cabs and shuttles.

I'm still hungover from two mind-blowing nights of classic cartoons with John K. at the Egyptian theatre. So while I recover, here's an unrelated guest report from Brew reader Chris Sobieniak:
A couple days ago, I went off to mail some videos at the post office, afterwards, I decided to check out the Korean import mart close by to see what goodies they got this time, and I found a couple things of interest you might like to see…First off, is a package with a familiar figure on it, Popeye, pimping for Samyang Food's own "Star Popeye Snack"! Though a typical non-spinich gig for our one-eyed sailor, he still gets to show it in his hand anyway (though the packaging mmicks a rather uncanny look of generic soda cups from the drive-in). More info on this (though in Korean) can be accessed hereAnd finally, a package of the Korean version of Frito-Lay's "Chee-tos" (notice I still use the hyphen), produced by Orion Frito-Lay (a joint venture between a Korean confectionary and PepsiCo supposibly). Oddly, this version of Chee-tos isn't the cheesy type we've come to know and love in the US, but now is barbacue flavored! Somehow I couldn't get halfway through the bag before I threw the rest away (just don't have a taste for it). Featured on the front of the package is none other than the recently released (and horridly adapted) "Astro Boy" character, with a freebie surprise inside (you don't expect that anymore)! Not really a nifty item, looks to be some kind of spinner, though I kept thinking of it as the milkcap or "pogs" of a decade ago.

Leading experts deliver breast cancer updates at unique public forum
MISSISSAUGA, ON, May 11 /CNW/ - While significant advances have been made in breast cancer care, evidence has shown that Ontarians diagnosed with breast cancer continue to face considerable challenges with their needs for information, support and care. To respond to these needs, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation - Ontario Region is working with leaders in research, clinical care and community support to deliver current breast cancer information and education at a free public forum presented by Scotiabank Group in Ottawa called Breast Cancer Today: An Evening of Care and Community.
Some of Ontario's leading breast cancer researchers and clinicians will speak at Breast Cancer Today, including Dr. Kelly Metcalfe, Women's College Research Institute, Dr. Ophira Ginsburg, Women's College Research Institute and Dr. Timothy Whelan, McMaster University. Speakers will address a range of issues related to breast cancer treatment, care and survivorship.
Breast Cancer Today will be held Tuesday, June 1, 2010 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Living Arts Centre, The Staging Room. This is the third year of this three-year program and the seventh forum in a series of seven. Breast Cancer Today is presented in partnership with Scotiabank Group.
The development of the Breast Cancer Today program was informed by findings from a Foundation-led research initiative called Up Front: New Perspectives on Breast Cancer. It found that Ontarians affected by breast cancer experience numerous challenges with the cancer care system, and identified ways in which their quality of life could be improved, including access to information and resources.
"A breast cancer diagnosis can be an overwhelming and isolating experience, and can have long-term impacts on quality of life," said Beth Easton, Vice President, Allocations and Health Promotion for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation - Ontario Region. "Through Breast Cancer Today, the Foundation is proud to respond to the information and education needs of the breast cancer community with the goal of reducing the burden of disease for patients, survivors and their families."
"Breast cancer touches so many lives across Ontario, from those who are diagnosed to their families, friends and communities," said Sylvia Chrominska, Group Head, Global Human Resources and Communications, Scotiabank Group. "Together with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, Scotiabank is committed to supporting all those affected by breast cancer, helping them to live with and beyond breast cancer."
In Canada, it is estimated that 22,700 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, making it the most prevalent cancer among Canadian women. On average, one in nine women in Canada will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, and one in 28 is expected to die from the disease.(1)

Since 2000, the Foundation has directed more than $68 million to the cause in Ontario alone as a result of fundraising initiatives like our signature events, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure and Yard Sale for the Cure, hundreds of thousands of donors and the efforts of a committed volunteer network numbering in the thousands.

The one of the controllers for the electric blanket keeps flashing an "e". The other controller is fine. We switched controllers and the same thing happened. We have unplugged the blanket for several minutes and turned off the controller for several minutes. It always goes back to displaying the "e".

I'm thinking we should make a separate category for bear attack stories.
Today's news is of an attack on a geologist working in the remote Alaska Range (in Alaska). The grizzly gnawed on him, went away, and then came back and gnawed some more.
Last week, a vacationing botanist was killed outside Yellowstone National Park by a bear that had just been collared by a research team.
Though some may take the moral of these stories to be "Carry a bigger gun," I think they offer valuable information about what to do in the event of a grizzly attack. Play dead. Cover your head. Wait for it to leave.
In New York, we only have black bears. I've never seen one, but Herb has… as soon as they spotted him, they ran the other way. In the unlikely event that they don't run, I hear the method of dealing with black bears is the exact opposite of dealing with a grizzly. Make yourself look bigger. Throw things and make noise. Fight back.
Which brings me to our final bear attack story… the unluckiest man in North Carolina. Stuck by lightning in 2006, Rick Oliver was attacked by a (black) bear a couple weeks ago.
The chances of being attacked by a bear are rather slim, biologists say. Fatal attacks are even slimmer: Between 2005 and 2009, only nine people were killed by bears in the United States, according to the state Wildlife Resources Commission. Compare that to the 141 people killed by dogs during the same period, and you get the idea.
The chances of being struck by lightning are extremely narrow. "You have a greater chance of getting struck by lightning than getting killed by a bear," says a report published by the U.S. Forest Service's Bear Aware program.
It doesn't take a math whiz to figure out the extreme unlikelihood of both happening to the same person.
"The probability is infinitesimal," said Ross Leadbetter, a statistician at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "The closest approximation is certainly zero."

Children were maintained on ART if they were clinically and immunologically stable. Methods: HIV diversity was measured before ART (baseline) in 76 children and after 48 or 96 weeks of ART in 14 children who were not virally suppressed. HIV diversity (expressed as HRM scores) was measured in 6 regions of the HIV genome (2 in gag, 1 in pol, 3 in env). Results: Higher baseline HRM scores were significantly associated with older age (≥2 years, P ≤ 0.001 for all 6 regions). HRM scores from different regions were weakly correlated. Higher baseline HRM scores in 3 regions (1 in gag, 2 in env) were associated with ART failure. HIV diversity was lower in 4 regions (2 in gag, 1 in pol, 1 in env) after 48–96 weeks of nonsuppressive ART compared with baseline. Conclusions: Higher levels of HIV diversity were observed in older children before ART, and higher levels of diversity in some regions of the HIV genome were associated with ART failure. Prolonged exposure to nonsuppressive ART was associated with a significant decrease in viral diversity in selected regions of the HIV genome.

Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee will file his nomination papers for the coming Lok Sabha election from Lucknow on April 13.
Vajpayee will first inaugurate his election office at Vidhan Sabha Marg after performing yagna and then file his nomination papers at the collectorate compound, Vajpayee's election in-charge and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Lalji Tandon told PTI.
Vajpayee will address his supporters after filing his nomination, Tandon said. Elaborate arrangements have been made for the occasion, he added.
According to BJP sources, April 13 is auspicious as it is 'Baisakhi' day and the number is also lucky for the prime minister.
The district administration is making foolproof arrangements for the prime minister's visit with the district magistrate convening a meeting yesterday to discuss security arrangements, official sources said.

The Water-Nymph
Sweet water-nymph,
trapped forever in perfect smooth stone.
You smile at me when I pass you in the park,
but your eyes are sad.
You seem to yearn for movement,
to come away and be free
to walk anywhere you please
and so you sadly gaze at me as I pass.
Wanting the freedom of the birds, people and seasons
in constant change and movement around you.
You long to break free from the bondage and cursed existence
and be able to speak, say something, anything.
Your gaze seems to become more hopeless
each time I pass by
and I notice a locket in your hand.
It is open and an almost unrecognizable figure
is etched into the pale grey stone.
I clear away the wet leaves and dirt
that have deposited themselves in a thick layer on it.
I stand shocked for a moment at what I see.
It is a stone imprint,
carved in utmost detail,
and I see what looks like a picture of me.
Confused and dazed I look down
to the engraving at the nymph's feet.
Written there are only two lines:
"I will wait for you until the end of time"
and it is signed to a David Jameson
from Laurie Jane Thompson, 1895.
He was my ancestor.
The water-nymph's eyes no longer were unhappy
but seemed at peace.
She had been finally reunited with her family.
Realization dawned upon me
and I smiled at the statue.
I smile as I pass it now
for I know that a part of her
will always be with me
and I will never be alone.

This chapter provides miscellaneous performance information and includes the following topics:
The following topics discuss magnus.conf directives you can use to configure your server to function more effectively:
CGIStub Processes (UNIX/Linux)
For a complete list and description of magnus.conf directives, see the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP9 Administrator's Configuration File Reference.
You can specify the size of the send buffer (SndBufSize) and the receiving buffer (RcvBufSize) at the server's sockets. For more information regarding these buffers, see your UNIX/Linux documentation.
You can set the buffer size by:
Editing the SndBufSize and RcvBufSize parameters in magnus.conf
Setting or changing the SndBufSize and RcvBufSize values in the Magnus Editor of the Server Manager
You can specify the number of seconds the server waits for data to arrive from the client before closing the connection by using theAcceptTimeout directive. If data does not arrive before the timeout expires, the connection is closed. This is set to 30 seconds by default. Under most circumstances, you won't need to change this setting. You can free up threads by setting this to less than the default, but you might also disconnect users with slower connections.
You can set AcceptTimeout by:
Setting or changing the AcceptTimeout value in the Magnus Editor of the Server Manager
You can adjust the CGIStub parameters on UNIX/Linux systems. In Sun Java System Web Server, the CGI engine creates CGIStub processes as needed. On systems that serve a large load and rely heavily on CGI-generated content, it is possible for the CGIStub processes to consume all system resources. If this is happening on your server, the CGIStub processes can be tuned to restrict how many new CGIStub processes can be spawned, their timeout value, and the minimum number of CGIStub processes that will be running at any given moment.
If you have an init-cgi function in the magnus.conf file and you are running in multi-process mode, you must add LateInit = yes to the init-cgi line.
The four directives and their defaults that can be tuned to control Cgistub are:
MinCGIStubs controls the number of processes that are started by default. The first CGIStub process is not started until a CGI program has been accessed. The default value is 2. If you have a init-cgi directive in the magnus.conf file, the minimum number of CGIStub processes are spawned at startup.
MaxCGIStubs controls the maximum number of CGIStub processes the server can spawn. This is the maximum concurrent CGIStub processes in execution, not the maximum number of pending requests. The default value shown should be adequate for most systems. Setting this too high may actually reduce throughput. The default is 10.
CGIStubIdleTimeout causes the server to kill any CGIStub processes that have been idle for the number of seconds set by this directive. Once the number of processes is at MinCGIStubs, it does not kill any more processes. The default is 45.
CGIExpirationTimeout limits the maximum time in seconds that CGI processes can run.
You can set the CGIStub processes by:
Setting or changing their values in the Magnus Editor of the Server Manager
You can use some obj.conf function parameters to improve your server's performance, as discussed in the topics in this section:
In addition to these parameters, seeUsing the nocache ParameterUsing the nocache Parameter
For more information about obj.conf, see the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP9 Administrator's Configuration File Reference.
The parameter find-pathinfo-forward for the PathCheck function find-pathinfo and the NameTrans functions pfx2dir and assign-name can help you improve your performance. The find-pathinfo-forward parameter instructs the server to search forward for PATH_INFO in the path after ntrans-base, instead of backward from the end of path in the server function find-pathinfo.
The server ignores the find-pathinfo-forward parameter if the ntrans-base parameter is not set in rq-\>vars when the server function find-pathinfo is called. By default, ntrans-base is set.
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" find-pathinfo-forward="" from="/cgi-bin" dir="/export/home/cgi-bin" name="cgi" NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/perf" find-pathinfo-forward="" name="perf"
This feature can improve performance for certain URLs by doing fewer stats in the server function find-pathinfo. On Windows, you can also use this feature to prevent the server from changing "\" to "/" when using the PathCheck server function find-pathinfo.
You can specify the parameter nostat in the NameTrans function assign-name to prevent the server from doing a stat on a specified URL whenever possible. Use the following syntax:
<Object name=default>NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/nsfc" nostat="/nsfc" name="nsfc"</Object> <Object name=nsfc>Service fn=service-nsfc-dump</Object>
In the previous example, the server does not stat for path /ntrans-base/nsfc and /ntrans-base/nsfc/* if ntrans-base is set. If ntrans-base is not set, the server does not stat for URLs /nsfc and /nsfc/*. By default, ntrans-base is set. The example assumes the default PathCheck server functions are used.
When you use nostat= virtual-path in the assign-name NameTrans, the server assumes that stat on the specified virtual-path will fail. Therefore, use nostat only when the path of the virtual-path does not exist on the system, for example, in NSAPI plugin URLs. Using nostat on those URLs improves performance by avoiding unnecessary stats on those URLs.
The quality of service features allow you to limit the amount of bandwidth and number of connections for a server instance, class of virtual servers, or an individual virtual server. You can set these performance limits, track them, and optionally enforce them.
For more information about using the quality of service features, see the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP9 Administrator's Guide.
With load balancing, the amount of server traffic is divided between two or more computers so that more work gets done in the same amount of time and all online users will generally be served faster. Third-party plugins can be used to provide load balancing capabilities for Sun Java System Web Server. Contact load balancing plugin providers for information about solutions that work with Sun Java System Web Server.
You can use the load balancing plugin libloadbal to allow your server to execute a program when certain thread load conditions are met, so a load distribution product on the front-end can redistribute the load.
There are two methods that you can use to trigger the load balancer to increase or decrease load:
Base load decisions on the number of queued requests. This is a passive approach. By letting the queue fill up you are already delaying some requests. In this case, you want the HighThreshold to be a low value and LowThreshold to be a high value.
Base load decisions on the number of active threads in the pool. This is designed to more tightly control the requests so that you would reduce the load before requests get queued.
To enable the plugin, you must modify magnus.conf manually. This should look something like this:
Init fn="load-modules" funcs="init-resonate" shlib="server_root/bin/https/lib/libloadbal.so" Init fn="init-resonate" ThreadPool="sleep" EventExePath="/tools/ns/bin/perl5" LateInit="yes" CmdLow="/opt/SUNWwbsvr/plugins/loadbal/CmdLow.pl" CmdHigh="/opt/SUNWwbsvr/plugins/loadbal/CmdHigh.pl"
The init-resonate function can take the following parameters:Table 3–1 init-resonate Parameters
Name of the thread pool to monitor.
If set to TRUE, this argument causes the plugin to use the pool thread count rather than the queue thread count.
How frequently to check the thread status. The default is 2000 milliseconds.
Defines the queue size/# of threads where HighCmd is executed to increase load on the server. The default is 4096.
Defines the queue size/# of threads where the LowCmd is executed to decrease load on the server. The default is 1.
Pointer to the script program you want to run (for instance, /usr/bin/perl or /bin/sh). Defaults to perl or perl.exe, depending on the platform.
Pointer to the script to be run when the LowThreshold is met.
Arguments to send to CmdLow.
Pointer to the script to be run when the HighThreshold is met.
Arguments to send to CmdHigh.
You must specify LateInit="yes" when loading this module. The module creates a monitoring thread, and this monitoring thread must start after ns-httpd has started.
If you set LogVerbose on in magnus.conf, the error log contains information on how the plugin is configured and when it is invoked.
A sample of the information in the error log is shown below:

This is what the log entries will look like when LogVerbose on is set and the plugin is activated:
[12/Jun/2003:09:40:12] verbose (20699): Resonate plugin reducing load. [12/Jun/2003:09:40:14] verbose (20699): Resonate plugin reducing load.

To test the load balancer, you can create an NSAPI plugin that prints an HTML page and then calls sleep() for a period to simulate execution time. This way you can build up a simulated load on the server and ensure that the load balancer commands are working properly.
Add a new mime.type so this isn't run for every request by modifying config/mime.types and adding:
type=magnus-internal/sleep exts=sleep
Create a file in your document root directory with the extension of .sleep.
It does not matter if anything is in this file; it is used only as a placeholder.
Load the module into the server by editing magnus.conf.
Init fn="load-modules" funcs="dosleep" shlib="/opt/SUNWwbsvr/plugins/nsapi/examples/dosleep.so" pool="sleep"
In the example above, you are changing shlib to the location of the library, and setting pool to the name of the thread pool you defined earlier.
Add this Service line where the others are found (note that order is not important):
Service method="(GET|HEAD)" fn="dosleep" duration="10" type="magnus-internal/sleep"
The argument duration tells the server how long to sleep for each request in seconds.
Restart your server.
You should now be ready to test the load balancer plugin. The NSAPI plugin will keep the threads busy long enough to simulate your desired load. The load balancing plugin is tested by retrieving the .sleep file you created earlier.
Below is a sample dosleep.c:
#ifdef XP_WIN32 #define NSAPI_PUBLIC __declspec(dllexport) #else /* !XP_WIN32 */ #define NSAPI_PUBLIC #endif /* !XP_WIN32 */ #include "nsapi.h" #define BUFFER_SIZE 1024 #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" #endif NSAPI_PUBLIC int dosleep(pblock *pb, Session *sn, Request *rq) { char buf[BUFFER_SIZE]; int length, duration; char *dur = pblock_findval("duration", pb); if (!dur) { log_error(LOG_WARN, "dosleep", sn, rq, "Value for duration is not set."); return REQ_ABORTED; } duration = atoi(dur); /* We need to get rid of the internal content type. */ param_free(pblock_remove("content-type", rq->srvhdrs)); pblock_nvinsert("content-type", "text/html", rq>srvhdrs); protocol_status(sn, rq, PROTOCOL_OK, NULL); /* get ready to send page */ protocol_start_response(sn, rq); /* fill the buffer with our message */ length = util_snprintf(buf, BUFFER_SIZE, "<title>%s</title><h1>%s</h1>\n", "Sleeping", "Sleeping"); length += util_snprintf(&buf[length], BUFFER_SIZE - length, "Sample NSAPI that is sleeping for %d seconds...\n", duration); /* write the message to the client */ if (net_write(sn->csd, buf, length) == IO_ERROR) { return REQ_EXIT; } sleep(duration); return REQ_PROCEED; }

And believe it or not, it's not just a joke about Kelly Kelly.
Best: When CM Punk Talks, and When Someone Dies
I want to make a better point than "this is how to make money" to start this week's Best and Worst. I want one of those rambling Bill Simmons things about how I was five years old watching George "The Animal" Steele bite Macho Man on the leg through his boot with a bunch of footnotes about my wife and kids. I don't have a wife or kids, and when I was five I was watching Magnum TA beat the head-blood and facial piss out of Tully Blanchard with a microphone.
I'm also not a "part of the wrestling industry", and more importantly I'm not trying too hard to be. That's something a lot of people blogging in the Internet Wrestling Community forget, just like sportswriters — no matter how much you write about this, you aren't a part of it. Roger Ebert always mentions things like "Robert Altman told me this on the set of Gosford Park" but outside of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls he's never been a "part" of Robert Altman's work. I can mention that Sugar Dunkerton took a picture with me for his scrapbook at the King of Trios fan conclave, but that doesn't put me in the ring with F.I.S.T. At best I'm a writer, at worst I'm a blogger, and I have no right to tell you what does and doesn't draw money.
That being said, every nerve in my body tells me this is how you make wrestling fans pay for wrestling shows. You hire people who are good at things, then let them be their own kind of good. It took them five years, but letting CM Punk speak from that little pro wrestler living inside of his heart is the best idea they've had. I'm not unique in this opinion. All over the Internet today you'll read about how people are buying Money in the Bank. You'll read about how they've been on-again/off-again fans since the Attitude Era, but now they're tuning in to see what everyone's talking about. And guess what? You aren't doing it with invasions and big stars from other companies and collapsible cage walls and falls from the Titantron — you're doing it with a guy talking. Because this guy is f**king great at talking.
Wrestling is easy, I don't know why you've been screwing it up so much.
Best: John Cena Has a Good Point if He'd Ever Make It
WWE character John Cena usually makes the same ten or so points when he's faced with a challenge:
1. He will never give up.
2. He has been busting his ass for this company for years.
3. He has earned his spot.
4. He represents the people, even the ones who don't support him.
5. He will not ever give up.
6. He will not back down from a challenge.
7. If you think he is going to give up, you are mistaken.
8. The Troops
9. Giving up is a theoretical impossibility.
10. He has beaten a lot of people
And he only really needs that last one.
1. John Cena has beaten a lot of people.
That's my major gripe with Cena. He dances out and does his Three Voices of Doom and his Five Moves of Fear and just sorta delivers jokes and declarations without making the easiest, most effective one of all. People chant "Cena sucks", but for the last eight years he has beaten literally EVERY PERSON IN OUR UNIVERSE, most of the time without breaking a sweat. Orton, Triple H, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Eddie Guerrero, Batista, Punk, Miz, Skip Sheffield and everybody on down until you're scraping the barrel at Firestorm Pro, trying to find Dick Trimmins' phone number because nobody else is a fresh match. That's Cena. He has shoulder-jumped and toe-held every single one of those motherf**kers, and the most effective John Cena is the one who says "I don't care what you're saying, I'm going to show up and whip your ass".
That's it. That's all he's got to do. He is intense like a drug addict and his body is made out of those metal meat tubes from the Tool video. He will f**king kill you and make you tap out and he won't even have to close the window. That's the John Cena we got in the opening, and that's the John Cena I keep homering for every week.

Family run cheap and cheerful! Dec 23, 2009
Stayed here in September 2009. If you are wondering where it is when you arrive at Mostar Bus & Rail station then it it down the main street to your left by 50m opposite a large block of flats.
The place is actually run by a family who live upstairs but they are very friendly and let you off when you do something very silly like hang out a Croatia towel outside the place (it is situated in the Bosniak side of town!) Don't be alarmed however as the place is perfectly safe at night and is within walking distance of Mostar's old town. Didn't feel threatened at any point.

Brother of city official arrested after fight
Updated 12:04 am, Saturday, December 21, 2013
BRIDGEPORT -- The brother of newly elected City Councilman Rick Torres was arrested after a fight outside The Field restaurant on Fairfield Avenue Thursday night.
John Torres, 55, who lives on a boat at Captain's Cove, was charged with breach of peace and third-degree assault. He was released after posting $500 bond.
Shortly after 11:30 p.m., police said they were flagged down on Fairfield Avenue by George Arias, who was bleeding on the right side of his head. Arias said he was sitting in his car in the rear parking lot of the restaurant talking on his cell phone to his wife when Torres opened the driver's side door and attempted to pull him out of the car.
When that failed, Torres climbed on top of Arias and began punching him, police said. Although Arias believed he had a broken nose, he refused to go to the hospital.
An off-duty police officer saw Torres on top of Arias in the car, but believed Arias was having a medical problem that Torres was helping him with, authorities said.
Police said Torres was spotted a short time later at his brother's nearby Harborview Market. He admitted getting into a physical confrontation with Arias, police said, but claimed Arias had been making harassing phone calls to him.
Arias, 54, of Park Avenue, was charged with breach of peace and harassment and was also released after posting a $500 bond.

New OPV for Falklands waters
The U.K. Ministry of Defense is using an innovative charter and logistic support contract to acquire a new offshore patrol vessel to protect the waters around the Falkland Islands.
The UKP 30 million (about US$57.5 million) contract for a a new 80 meter Offshore Patrol Vessel (Helicopter) for the Royal Navy has been awarded VT Group plc, which will build it at its shipbuilding facility in Portsmouth.
The ship will be built to VT's account, with production starting in June. It will be handed over to the Royal Navy in fall 2006, entering service, after the completion of trials, in spring 2007.
The ship will be chartered to the MoD for an initial period until March 2012. Though the program is expected to be worth an initial total of around UKP 30 million, under a public-private partnership arrangement, there is the potential for this to increase if the charter is extended.
The ship, based on the VT-built River Class currently under charter to the MoD, will replace two existing Castle Class offshore patrol vessels and will carry out the role of Falkland Islands Patrol Vessel.
It will be manned and operated by the Royal Navy but VT will be responsible for providing a full Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) service to maintain the vessel so that it is available for sea for more than 300 days a year.
VT says that by utilizing modern automated equipment and commercial maintenance practices, it will guarantee the required availability with a single ship, compared to the two currently needed to provide the same availability.
The new OPV will have a crew of 34 (compared with 51 for the Castle class ships) and will be armed with a single 30 mm gun. The "Batch 2" River Class design will be enhanced with a helicopter deck capable of accepting helicopters up to the size of the new Merlin aircraft, increased accommodation to cater for an embarked force, a bigger gun, higher levels of survivability and surveillance radar.

Skip to comments.Despite election losses, GOP Sen. Cornyn poised for promotion
Posted on 11/08/2012 1:35:19 PM PST by Arthurio
(CNN) - Despite a disappointing showing by Republican Senate candidates on Election Day, the man who spearheaded the GOP Senate election effort is poised to take the number two position in the party's leadership behind Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, several GOP aides told CNN.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas is expected next Wednesday to be elected by members of the Republican caucus to become the Minority Whip. He will replace retiring Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona.
His promotion was essentially solidified Thursday after potential rival Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, who as Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference is the third-ranking Republican, announced he would seek re-election to that post and not run to move up.
One GOP aide explained that there is not a consensus among Republican senators that Cornyn is to blame for the poor results at the polls that saw the Democrats expand their majority in a year Republicans were widely believed to have a good shot at taking control of the Senate.
(Excerpt) Read more at politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com ...
mcconnell the moron and boehner the boner will be elected again because nothing ever changes in the gop/e... rumors are that they want to run Mitt again.. or jeb bush. Let me know now so I can help to start a new party. NEVER again gop.
Not to say he should be promoted or not, but in his defense we would have broke even in the senate if those nominees could have an answer for rape that isn't going to offend everyone. How hard is it, when asked about abortion exceptions, to simply say "I respect all life and that is why I do not support those abortion exemptions"? If you offer up pseudoscience that claims women automatically miscarry rapes or that a rape is a "gift", you will lose everytime.
Cornyn's level of incompetence is truly breath-taking. He really, really, really screwed this up. I can't emphasize enough how bad of a job he did. The GOP easily could have picked up 5 seats. We ended up losing seats. I don't know how anyone could have done a worse job than him yet here he is, moving up the chain to a higher position.
You mean the same Cornyn that tried really hard to give us Charlie Crist.
Promote him? Send him packing.
In the past if you lost elections you'd be forced to step down. Frist and delay and Hastert are gone. yet McConnell and Coryn remain. That says it all about the current GOP. LOL
Idiots promoting idiots! They will never learn and will always be the minority.
RUBIO-RYAN or DEMINT-RYAN!! There MUST be some change at the top of the Senate at the very least!!
Uhm, Ryan is in the house not the senate.
And we are all warm & fuzzy, comfy cozy, over in the senate club.
RINO File.
How about our other new senator instead - Ted Cruz? Cornyn is lame.
We ended up losing seats. I dont know how anyone could have done a worse job than him yet here he is, moving up the chain to a higher position.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Sorry, but you ALMOST sound like you think COMPETENCE has anything to do with it.
The only thing that garners leadership etc is how many times you were able to convince (or buy) your constituents to send you back.
Then again, when 'you' move to DC suburbs (almost) permanently, your idiot constituents still send you back.
BO with as dismal a record as one can dream of, wins in a walk?
Jackson Jr wins in a landslide?
A faux Indian beats a sitting Senator?
A phony wanna be hero Marine wins a seat with the backing of his local VFW Post?
Idiots that think more Marines on Guam will tip the Island over - get reelected?
Idiots that ask NASA about the US Flag the Astronauts planted on Mars - get reelected?
Like the man says, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired....
And the late Ron Smiths words come to life
"If voting meant anything, they wouldn't let us do it".
Cornyn has been compromised and is a compromiser. We need new head banging leadership to fight.
Stupid Party!
Senator's DeMint and Lee need to take charge!
I agree... btw the hate Sarah garbage on the other thread is just unreal. I see why we lost with minds like that on our side.
How did we ever lose the Montana and North Dakota seats? Those states voted for Romney yet split the ticket electing rat senators.
As a Texan, I have been totally unimpressed with Cornyn. He seems to be worthless in standing up for conservative principles.

Your first template
In essence, a theme is a set of templates, and a template is composed of HTML and Velocity code. You can make your own templates to access your weblog's data and show this to your visitors in any way you want.
Creating and editing templates
In Apache Roller, you can create, edit, or delete templates via the Frontpage: Templates page. Let's see how to use this wonderful tool to create and edit your own templates!
Time for action – creating your first template
In this exercise, you'll learn to create and edit your first custom template via Roller's admin interface:
- Open your web browser, log into Roller, and go to the Templates page, under the Design tab:
- On the Add a new template panel, type mytemplate in the Name field, leave the default custom value in the Action field, and click on the Add button:
- The mytemplate template you've just created will show up in the templates list:
- Now click on the mytemplate link under the Name field, to open the mytemplate file for editing:
- Leave the mytemplate value for the Name field, type mytemplate in the Link field, and type My First Template in Apache Roller! in the Description field:
- Then replace the  line with the following HTML code:
Welcome to my blog, $model.weblog.name

This is my first template

My weblog's absolute URL is: $url.absoluteSite

This is shown in the following screenshot:
- Scroll down the page and click on the Save button to apply the changes to your new template. Roller will show the Template updated successfully message inside a green box to confirm that your changes were saved:
- Now click on the [launch] link under the Link field to open a new tab in your web browser and see your template in action:
- You can close this tab now, but leave the Frontpage: Templates window open for the next exercise.
What just happened?
Now you know how to create your own templates! Although the previous example is very simple, you can use it as a starting point to create very complex templates. As I said before, templates are composed of HTML and Velocity code.
The template we wrote in the previous exercise uses a few basic HTML elements, or tags:
HTML Tag
 ,
Defines the start/end of an HTML document.
You must write this tags at the beginning/end of each Roller template.
,
Defines the start/end of an HTML document's body.
All the code you will write for your templates must go between the  and  tags.
,
Shows text in bold.
Example: Hello shows up as
Indicates a line break.
Example: Hello
World shows up as
Also, there are some elements from the Velocity Template Language, along with an example from the previous exercise:
Velocity Element
Shows the name of your weblog.
$model.weblog.name shows up as Ibacsoft's Weblog
Shows the absolute URL of your weblog
$url.absoluteSite shows up as http://alromero.no-ip.org/roller
These are just some of the basic HTML tags and Velocity elements you'll learn to use for your templates. In the following sections, we'll see some more, along with elements from the Velocity Template Language.
The Velocity template language
All templates in Roller use HTML tags, along with Velocity code. In the next subsections, you'll learn about some of the most widely used Velocity elements in your Roller templates.
Using Velocity macros in your Roller weblog
A macro in Velocity is a set of instructions that generate HTML code based on data from your weblog. They are very helpful when you need to do the same task more than once. In the following exercise, you'll learn to use some macros included in Roller in order to show your weblog data to your visitors.
Time for action – showing your weblog's blogroll and most recent entries
Now you will use the Velocity Template Language to show your weblog's bookmarks (blogroll) in your custom template, along with the most recent entries:
Go to your custom template editing page, and type the following code just above the  line:
These are my favorite Web sites:

#set($rootFolder = $model.weblog.getBookmarkFolder("/"))
#showBookmarkLinksList($rootFolder false false)
- The entire code of your template should look like the following screenshot (the code you have to add is highlighted):
- Save your changes and click on your template's [launch] link to open a new tab in your web browser and see how your template will look like:
- Now close the results tab to return to the Front Page: Templates window, and add the following lines of code right after the code you added in steps 1 and 2 of this exercise:
And these are the most recent entries in my weblog:

#set($entries = $model.weblog.getRecentWeblogEntries("nil", 5))
- Now your template's code should look like the following screenshot:
- Save your changes and click on your template's [launch] link to open a new tab in your web browser and see the results:
- You can close this tab now, but leave the Frontpage: Templates window open for the next exercise.
What just happened?
In Velocity, a macro starts with the # character. In the previous exercise, you used two Velocity macros: one to show your weblog's blogroll and the other to show your weblog's most recent entries. There are two Velocity statements implicated in the blogroll macro:
#set($rootFolder = $model.weblog.getBookmarkFolder("/"))
#showBookmarkLinksList($rootFolder false false)
The first line gets the root bookmark folder (represented by "/") and assigns it to the $rootFolder variable. The second line is the showBookmarkLinksList macro, which uses the value in $rootFolder to generate a bookmarks list and show it in your template:
The two false arguments after $rootFolder indicate that we are not using subcategories inside the bookmark links list. If you want more information about these arguments, check the Roller template guide included in the Roller installation.
There are two more lines involved in the recent entries macro:
#set($entries = $model.weblog.getRecentWeblogEntries("nil", 5)
The first line gets the 5 most recent entries from your weblog and assigns the result to $entries. The "nil" parameter specifies that Roller must get the five most recent entries from all categories. If you want to get the most recent entries from a specific category, just replace "nil" with the name of that category.
The next line is the showWeblogEntryLinksList macro, which uses all the entries included in $entries to generate a list with links:
In this article, you learned how to create and edit your first template in Roller.
Specifically, we covered:
- What is a template, and how to create/edit a custom template with Roller's admin interface
- An introduction to the Velocity Template Language

The Japan export is basically a false legend. Look at a map.
It is 3,577 miles from Valdez, Alaska to Tokyo, Japan.
It is 1,274 miles from Valdez, Alaska to Anacortes, Washington. (largest Washington refineries)
It is 2,253 miles from Valdez, Alaska to El Segundo, California (major refinery near Los Angeles)
Until 1996 it was illegal to export Alaskan North Slope Crude oil because of the Congressional Approval used to create the pipeline.
In the mid-late 1990's, because of a glut of oil on the West coast, this was relieved and less than 5% of ANS crude was exported. That quit by 2000.
I am not talking about the physical product but figures on paper, or a screen. It does not vary even if you are talklng about crude of different gravity. Like gold that stays in the vault, it still changes hands.

Network Adaptive Deadband: NCS Data Flow Control for Shared Networks
AbstractThis paper proposes a new middleware solution called Network Adaptive Deadband (NAD) for long time operation of Networked Control Systems (NCS) through the Internet or any shared network based on IP technology. The proposed middleware takes into account the network status and the NCS status, to improve the global system performance and to share more effectively the network by several NCS and sensor/actuator data flows. Relationship between network status and NCS status is solved with a TCP-friendly transport flow control protocol and the deadband concept, relating deadband value and transmission throughput. This creates a deadband-based flow control solution. Simulation and experiments in shared networks show that the implemented network adaptive deadband has better performance than an optimal constant deadband solution in the same circumstances.

" Home Front Girls proves once again Rosie Goodwin's ability to create a dramatic, emotional plot... a rewarding read." ( Birmingham Post)
"A touching and powerful novel from a wonderful writer." ( The Bookseller on The Empty Cradle)
this story didn't really get interesting until the second part of the audible download. this part covered the bombing raids on Coventry and the desolation left in its wake. for me this part saved the book.
not one of the best war time stories I have listened too.
"Surpprisingly enjoyable"
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but having enjoyed Rosie Goodwin's writing previously thought I would have a stab at this one on special offer.
It was a delightful tale of the war torn England and specifically the lives of three very different girls who bonded during that time of hardship.
I found some of their reactions to events implausible, but overall it was a lovely read, bringing sadness and joy in equal measure. (Tears to the eyes too in parts!)
The narrator would mainly good - but she sometimes used wrong phrasing and I had to stop and think what she actually meant - but that wasn't too much of a hardship, whizzed back 30 secs and re-listened.
"Easy listening"
Enjoyable and I cared about the characters. Some predictability and a few repetitions but well narrated and interesting to listen to.
"A must really good audio book riveting so enjoyable I could not stop listening to it one of the best audio book I have listen to"
The book was really good and full of great story's about each of the girls life's
"Home front Girls"
This book was great. Really good book to listen too. i loved it!!! More books please From Sue Marsh
"Not a particularly challenging listen"
But if you are confined to barracks with flu, then you could do worse. The storylines were a bit predictable and towards the end I was guessing with a certain degree of accuracy what the dialogue would be. Not really my cup of tea, unfortunately.
"Idle Chitter Chatter in the Guise of a Story"
The narrator is expressive, a bit slow, but shows good expression for a story that is slow in getting started. The girls don't mesh, there's not real chemistry, and the dialogue doesn't advance the story.
"very engaging
Great story and great narrator. Couldn't put it down. Great wrap up at the end
This had the potential to be a good story but it was so predictable that I guessed two of the three "secrets" long before they were revealed by the author. The characters were very stilted and unbelievable and the dialogue was so elementary that I felt I might be listening to the adventures of Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail. Part of that blame goes to the narrator who had a very annoying voice and sounded as though she was telling a story to a group of pre-schoolers. I just didn't enjoy this book at all.
