NYPA's Paul Tartaglia Named To Leadership Post On EPRI's Generation Council
Maura Balaban - NYPA
Jeff Brehm - EPRI
September 22, 2011
WHITE PLAINS—Paul Tartaglia, the New York Power Authority's (NYPA) regional manager for Southeast New York, has been elected to the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) of the Electric Power Research Institute's (EPRI) Generation Council, a ten-member body that oversees the work of the Generation Council and provides strategic direction for the research and development of projects benefiting EPRI's Generation Sector.
"As the Power Authority's Southeast Regional Manager, Paul has been in leadership positions for every major undertaking in the last 10 years at our downstate facilities, including the start-up and commissioning of a fleet of small clean power plants, and our 500-MW Combined-Cycle Power Plant in Astoria," said Edward Welz, NYPA's acting chief operating officer. "We are grateful that his expertise is being recognized by a larger audience and are confident his leadership will be a tremendous asset to EPRI and the membership it serves."
In his current position at NYPA, Tartaglia is responsible for the management of generation and transmission assets in New York City, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk counties, including the 500-MW combined-cycle plant—one of the most efficient sources of power in New York City, a 150-MW combined cycle facility in Suffolk County, 11 clean, natural gas-fueled plants in New York City and Long Island, a 600-MW submarine transmission cable and a small-hydro facility in Westchester County.
Tartaglia was approved by the EPRI Generation ELT to serve a two-year term. His nomination was announced last week in Boston, Mass., at the Generation Council's semi-annual meeting.
Tartaglia has led NYPA's collaboration with EPRI in several research initiatives to improve electricity generation processes. He oversaw an initiative at NYPA's 500-MW plant that serves as a model for other gas turbine owners and operators in standardizing performance assessment of environmental controls. He also led NYPA's research efforts with EPRI to improve the diagnostics, troubleshooting and performance of steam generators.
Tartaglia joined NYPA in 1991 and spent two years as a staff engineer at the Power Authority's administrative offices in White Plains and almost 12 years as the operations supervisor and operations superintendent at NYPA's Charles Poletti Power Project in Astoria, before being named regional manager. Prior to joining the Power Authority, he worked for a private engineering firm in Manhattan. He attended Polytechnic University and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in thermodynamics and heat transfer. He is a licensed professional engineer and holds a New York City Stationary Engineers License.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Next week's trading all hinges on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Friday.
Cramer said Bernanke's testimony before the Senate on Tuesday will determine whether the market has more rallies like today, or more fear-induced selling like Thursday.
Beyond the Fed, Cramer said he'll be watching Lowe's (LOW) on Monday as well as rival Home Depot (HD) , a stock Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, for a read on the housing recovery.
Also on Monday is an analyst day for Darden Restaurants (DRI) , which should offer insight on consumer spending, and also Hertz (HTZ) .
Tuesday also brings earnings from Saks (SKS) and AutoZone (AZO) along with American Tower (AMT) . Cramer said he'll be interested in the latest retail trends and thinks that American Tower could surprise to the upside.
On Wednesday, it's Dollar Tree (DLTR) and Groupon (GRPN) offering insight into the value shopping segment, while Joy Global (JOY) should provide a fresh perspective on the recovery in China.
Finally, on Thursday, Cramer said he'll be watching more retailers, mainly Best Buy (BBY) , Kohl's (KSS) and Deckers Outdoor (DECK) . He said Best Buy will offer a read on discretionary spending, while Kohl's and Deckers may offer insights into possible takeovers or buyouts.
A Market With Amnesia
Don't be so quick to bail out of a bad stock because in this market that bad stock might just come roaring back, Cramer told viewers.
Cramer said he's been amazed at the market's willingness to forgive even the worst performers. That certainly was the case with Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) , which saw its shares soar 12.5% in Friday's trading.
The market also seems willing to forgive Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) , with those shares barely skipping a beat after not one, but two government probes. The markets also like Boeing (BA) , sending those shares near 52-week highs while its flagship Dreamliner continues to have its wings clipped.
It's almost as if the market has amnesia as it bids up shares of Norfolk Southern (NSC) after the company called a bottom in the coal market, its second such prediction. It has also bid up FedEx (FDX) despite that company's bleak outlook last quarter.
Cramer said perhaps the only stock the markets don't like at the moment is Apple (AAPL) , another Action Alerts PLUS name. He said that's ironic since before a few months ago Apple was one of the bigger value creators of all time.
Speculation Friday
For "Speculation Friday," Cramer recommended, of all things, a mortgage insurer. He said that after years of being toxic, Radian Group (RDN) may now be in a position to make up for its prior sins.

Mayhem Festival -- Camden, NJ -- July 27th, 2012
Got to the parking lot around 2:30 with my buddy and cracked open a few beers before heading over to another lot to locate our other concert friends and knock back a couple more. Went inside around 4pm to catch As I Lay Dying play their 4:30 set. Ive followed this band since 2003 and enjoy a majority of their work but found myself tired of them by the time their last album The Powerless Rise was released. Seeing them live again however seemed to have re-sparked my interest in them as they were very good live and had the crowd moving around quite a bit. Ill be checking out the last album again as I think I didnt give it a far shot being I was so burnt out on them and hope to catch them headline a small club tour.
Anthrax was up next and I wasnt impressed with their song selection. Im probably in the minority here but I would have loved to hear a couple more songs off of Worship Music. The performance itself wasnt bad I just wish they would diversify their set list more than they do.
Then it was time to move over to the main stage so I headed over with a couple of my buddies to check out the merch and grab some food because we had zero interest in checking out Asking Alexandria. Ive heard bits and pieces of their music and it does nothing for me but from what we heard the crowd seemed to dig them, to each their own I suppose. I grabbed an overpriced 24 oz. Miller Light and headed in to see Lemmy and the gang. I saw about half of Motorheads set back in 2008 (at the same venue) with Judas Priest, Testament, and Heaven and Hell but that was from the lawn and I was more concerned with grabbing beers than I was watching them. This time I gave them my full attention and had a general admission pit (which at this point in the day was pretty empty) ticket and really enjoyed myself. Hearing Going to Brazil and Stay clean were highlights for me.
Next up was the mighty Slayer, this was my 5th (and best) time seeing them live. They absolutely killed; the song selection, their energy, the fire that set off throughout the brutal set was all amazing. They were just relentless and the crowd ate it up. After their set we all grabbed some merch (I got a Slayer t-shirt, $30.00) additional beers, and shots of Jager in honor of Slayer.
Slipknot closed the show it sounds weird but I guess Im just over them. I got on board with them right after their Ozzfest debut when one of my buddies brought their self titled album over to my parents place and played Eyeless for me. I remember at 17 years old relating to songs like Surfacing for its rebellious chorus but at 29 ½ years old I just cant sit there and keep a straight face when I hear if your 5 5 5 Im 6 6 6!. I guess part of me is growing up (to a point) musically and seeing these grown men in jump suits acting as if the world is against them just isnt my thing anymore. Dont get me wrong seeing Gently live was awesome, maybe Id just prefer a set with less hits and hear stuff they rarely play live (scissors, purity, skin ticket, Iowa, etc) whatever it is I just know I dont enjoy them like I used to. To me, even before going in to this festival I knew I was more excited for Slayer than I was Slipknot. Ive attended every Mayhem fest so far and think I enjoyed this one the most. Set lists were the same as other dates so I didnt bother to post, sorry if this was long winded.
2/15 - Mayhem
4/19 - Testament
4/26 - Alice Cooper
5/21 - Iron Maiden - Birmingham
5/24 - Iron Maiden - Cardiff
5/27-28 - Iron Maiden - London

Food Habits
Like all spiders, black-and-yellow argiopes are carnivorous. They spin an orb web to capture small flying insects such as aphids, flies, grasshoppers, and Hymenoptera (wasps and bees). A female can take prey up to 47mm in diameter, up to 200% of her own size (Nyffeler et al. 1987)
The web can be up to two feet across. The spider hangs, head down, in the center of their web while waiting for prey. Often, she holds her legs together in pairs so that it looks as if there are only four of them. Sometimes the spider may hide in a nearby leaf or grass stem, connected to the center of the web by a nonsticky thread which quivers when prey lands in the web.
Web construction is complicated. To start the web, Argiope firmly grasps a substrate like a grass stem or window frame. She lifts her abdomen and emits several strands of silk from her spinnerets that merge into one thread. The free end of the thread drifts until it touches something far away, like a stem or a flower stalk. She then creates bridge lines, and other scaffolding to help her build the framework of the web. She builds a hub with threads radiating from it like a spokes of a wheel. She switches to sticky silk for the threads spiraling around this hub that will actually catch her prey. It may take a few hours to complete the web, then she eats the temporary scaffolding and the center hub. Argiope spiders often add stabilimenta, or heavy zig-zagging portions, in their webs. A stabilimentum may or may not aid prey capture (see below). The entire web is usually eaten and then rebuilt each night, often in the same place.
Animal Foods: insects; terrestrial non-insect arthropods
Primary Diet: carnivore (Insectivore )

"Trust, but verify. "
BJT Bulletins
CitationShares becomes CitationAir
CitationShares has changed its name to CitationAir by Cessna and widened its focus beyond fractional shares. Products under the Greenwich, Conn. company's umbrella include CitationAir Jet Card (formerly Vector), CitationAir Jet Shares (formerly Citelines), CitationAir Jet Management (formerly JetForth) and CitationAir Corporate Solutions. The new branding strengthens CitationAir's relationship with Wichita-based aircraft manufacturer Cessna, which owns 92 percent of the company and expects by next year to absorb the 8 percent still owned by TAG Aviation.
Virgin Charter Closes Down
Virgin Charter, an online booking service for private aircraft that Sir Richard Branson launched with great fanfare in March 2008, ceased operations in October. A notice on the company's Web site said that "our technology platform was ahead of its time and...we've made the difficult decision to close our doors."
Sentient Introduces Online Charter Site
Sentient Jet now offers an online charter marketplace, privatejets.com, that allows users to directly request a quote. A sales representative for the Weymouth, Mass.-based company will then respond, offering a variety of jet types and pricing options. Privatejets.com has access to nearly 1,000 Sentient-certified charter jets and plans to feature a live-chat option, a blog and news feeds.
Avantair Reports
Revenue Gains
Bucking trends in the overall economy and business aviation, Avantair reported revenue gains for its full fiscal year, which ended in June, and fourth fiscal quarter. The Clearwater, Fla. company, which provides fractional shares and flight cards in Piaggio Avantis, reported revenues of $34.1 million in its fourth quarter, up 8.6 percent from the same quarter in 2008. It also said it had quarter-over-quarter gains in fractional-industry market share and charter cards sold. It did report an operating loss, but a smaller one than in the same quarter last year-$684,000 versus $2.1 million. For the full fiscal year, Avantair had revenues of $136.8 million, up 18.3 percent from last year, and operating income of $38,000, compared with an operating loss of $16.6 million for 2008.
NetJets Cuts Back
In the wake of the departure of founding CEO Richard Santulli, fractional-share market leader NetJets announced a variety of cutbacks in response to what it called "the severe economic conditions facing the aviation industry." The company, which recently relocated to Columbus, Ohio, will reduce its workforce by about 5 percent and "take other actions to reduce expenses." Some of the cost-cutting measures are being implemented at NetJets Europe, which has appointed P. Eric Connor as its new CEO and chairman and announced that it is cutting its workforce by 6 percent, or about 100 people.
Embraer launches Legacy 650
Embraer has announced the addition of the $29.5 million large-cabin Legacy 650 to its business jet lineup. The 650 is expected to have a range of 3,900 nautical miles, 500 more than the Legacy 600. Embraer anticipates having the airplane certified in mid 2010 and plans to begin deliveries in the second half of the year.
Ride-Sharing Program Debuts
The recently launched Greenjets Inc. coordinates flights for business jet travelers with the same departure and arrival points. The idea is to save passengers money while reducing air traffic and using less fossil fuels. The company serves Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Washington, New York and Florida and plans to add about 30 other areas by the end of 2011. The program is available through a phone system or by joining the Jetogether online network.

Picturing the past 2Posted Tuesday, March 31, 2009, at 2:29 PM
Clift's Feed Mill, from a photo negative dated April 14, 1963. (T-G file photo)
I have vague memories of standing outside and in the front office of Clift's Feed Mill on Holland Street.
Clift's old location is today a large, empty lot, directly across from where Holland intersects with Deery Street.
Seems like when I was a very young child there was a lot of agricultural-type activity around that downtown intersection, more than just Clift's.
Across the street was Stockmen's (or was it Stockman's?) Cafe, next door to Bedford Cheese in a building which still exists but now has blocked-up windows. On the other side of Holland was a long-gone factory, and next door to Clift's was/is the original location of Kincaid Service Co., in the small, red-brick building.
The flooring of the old factory building still exists.
And so does, I think, a remnant of Clift's. Along Deery Street, in the area where Clift's was, is one concrete step, by itself next to the sidewalk. Look closely at this photo. Does Clift's front step still exist?
Although there are businesses near the old Clift's location -- a street rod firm, in particular -- too much of the area around Deery and Holland is empty or rundown. It's sort of a downer to drive through that area.
There's been some talk of a new downtown judicial building to relieve overcrowding in the courthouse. Seems like that location -- near lawyers' offices, within an area in need of a boost -- would be the perfect place. (As if we don't have empty buildings and "dead areas" in too many other areas of Shelbyville as well...)

David, thanks for the old photo. Keep them coming. I am enjoying them. Clift's Feed Mill was previously known as Hawkins Gin and Feed Mill. That is where farmers brought their cotton to market. The tall porch on the right side of the building covered the scales where you could have your wagon load of cotton weighed. Directly behind and to the right was the Bedford County Stockyard. Sometime in the early 50's cowboy movie star Roy Rogers was passing through town when the Dodge truck pulling the horse trailer with Trigger in it had trouble. They pulled the truck and trailer to Yearwood Motors (site of the present Times-Gazette) to be worked on and Trigger was stabled at the stockyard while the work was done on the truck. The factory you mentioned across Holland from the Stockman's Cafe was Woosley Knitting Mills and the next building on down Deery across the railroad tracks was the Ice Plant. I know that I have a picture of the Rebel Maid somewhere. I just have not been able to put my hands on it yet. When I find it I will send it to you.

If you run across a picture of Honeyland I would like to purchase a copy. My husband's grandfather owned the place and it would be a great framed Xmas present. For what I understand it used to be in the area where the Ascend office (close to Aramark) is now. It used to be a place to get the "Best BBQ in town" and I think it said so on the front of the building. I have his BBQ recipe it is one of the best.

Brown eyed girl. You have just made my mouth start watering. I can remember when Leslie Little built Honeyland and served that Honey flavored ice cream. I can also remember when Al Davenport made that fabulous BBQ, and served it at Honeyland. I used to go out to his place on Wartrace Pike and get a whole pork shoulder and take it back to North Carolina when we lived over there.

Don't forget the malted milk shakes!
Each flavor stood out perfectly with no one aspect overshadowing the others.
The fresh milk,syrup and the sweet burn of the malt combined to make a thick,velvety chill that wasn't half ice and half artificial additives.
Maybe,we should look at today's businesses (and people) and bear in mind that we're creating some future's memories.

The honeyland actually was where wessoner motors is the ascend buildind was tillet bros. construction and the newly remodeled building used to be lowes oldsmobile then the honeyland set next to the road then there was the red ace gas station on the north side of the honeyland. i can remember getting gas for my motorcycle for 22.9 a gallon

Sorry I missed this one. You've got to keep these coming.
Every Monday morning in the early-mid 70's this particular part of town was the hub of activity if you were one of Bedford County's dairy farmers.
The routine for my father and I went like this: drop-off the week's milk at the Cheese Plant (in cans), say hello to Mrs. Margret (the Administrative Assist. at Bedford Cheese) then, stop over to buy feed and yuk-it-up with Lee for a little while at Clift's Feed Store before our drive back home to Wartrace.
As a small boy I used to enjoy watching the old-timers sit out front of the stock yard, spit tobacco and whittle. I also used to look up to the guys that worked the stock pens as heroes. (Anyone in close, confined, proximity of a Santa Gertrudis bull knows what I'm talking about.) I remember, too well, the combined fresh smell of tack leather and feed molasses in Clift's Feed Store.
I understand Lee Clift passed on a few years ago. We who remember that era will sure miss him. Thanks for sharing David.

Lee Clift is living on the Lewisburg highway with his wife Dot.
He is doing well and spends his time tending his cattle and going to auctions.
You might catch him at one of his yard sales he has twice a year at his home.

I loved that place! My dad use to let me ride in the delivery truck with Ebb and Joe. It seems like yesterday. After delivery we would go to Stockman's (we called it the greasy spoon), and I would order a grilled cheese and chocolate milk. Does anyone have a picture of Stockman's?
-- Posted by R.A. Clift on Wed, Jul 7, 2010, at 11:03 PM
R.A. Clift, no I do not have a picture of it but I remember it with great fondness. Quite often I would make that trip down there from the service station up on the corner for one of their hamburgers. I also remember the little store building that the Cunninghams had in that area, and I also remember you.
-- Posted by leeiii on Thu, Jul 8, 2010, at 6:49 AM
Hey leeiii,
Do you have any feed bags from the Clift Mill with advertising on them? What about any old photos from inside the feed mill or Ebb and Joe? My grandfather use to call me "Little Devil," and I think he got it right! LOL

Skip to comments.Gingrich Signs Pledge to Build Fence Along Southern Border
Posted on 12/01/2011 5:32:02 PM PST by presidio9
Newt Gingrich, whose GOP competitors accuse him of being soft on illegal immigration, pledged Thursday, if elected president, to build a double fence along the Mexican border during his first days in the White House.
We havent been able to build a fence on the border because we have not been a serious country, the former House speaker said at an event in Iowa, before he signed his name to the pledge sponsored by the activist group Americans for Securing the Border.
Gingrich has maintained that the border needs securing but has also suggested that some of the 11 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. be permitted to stay in the U.S. legally. Some of his competition, including Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, has called that policy amnesty.
Bachmann was the first candidate, and is the only other 2012 contender to sign the pledge.
The candidates pledge to support and speedily expedite the construction of a date-certain, secure multi-layered fence (fence locations to be specified
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
For Newt it's to keep the illegals IN the country. LOL
To keep aliens IN!
When newts lips are moving he is either eating or lying, he does nothing halfway.
I'm not buying it. He's still a pro-amnesty RINO.
Newt's policy on dealing with illegals is the best one I have heard. It is outlined on his site and well worth the read for anyone interested.
BTW..what is Bachmanns plan on deporting millions of illegals? or any other candidates plan on how this feat would be accomplished other than get rid of the "magnets" which Newt also supports
I see your denial continues. No matter what Newt does it will be wrong in your book. You are becoming a ridiculous caricature of yourself. I do note that Newt has signed the pledge and Cain hasn't. Wanna bet what happens first - Cain signs a pledge to build a fence or drops out of the race? Actually, I'll bet you come up with a reason why building a fence is a horrible idea. It has to be if Newt is for it, right? Yeah, until Cain says "good idea, Newt. Can I borrow your pen?"
ENDING THE DISHONESTY: THE WAY FORWARD ON BORDER CONTROL AND PATRIOTIC IMMIGRATION by Newt Gingrich (April 26, 2006)
a fence? why? He'll keep the gates wide open.
How about bringing the troops back home and lining them up on the border too !!! Why can't that be in the pledge?
Just build the damn fence..
Isn't that what his Rino buddy McCain said?
You are not planning on voting anyway. That makes your opinion about as relevant as a pet rock.
...Because apparently his positions on "legalization" can somehow be covered up by how he sugar coats it and pledges he signs? I mock it because it's so transparent. He's kissing up to us while at the same time holding a position that is utterly contradictory and unacceptable.
How about instead of trolling me around the forum, you tell me why we need to legalize these people to begin with? Why not ENFORCE the law, when we know that by doing this simple thing, illegals deport themselves? Why are we rewarding illegal behavior? And why do you believe that, somehow, only the illegals who have committed minor identity fraud and have been working for 25 years will be the only ones to get "legalized"?
False. You haven't given the matter enough thought.
I'll vote. But it won't be for a pro-amnesty RINO like Newt.
Arizona. Alabama.
And a welcome mat rolled out.
Gigrich only signed the pledge, he did not write it, but should I take this to mean you're a Ron Paul supporter?
I'm all for ENFORCING the current laws. I'm also for CLOSING the border. Are you? I'm for building a fence and whatever other measures we need to take. Heck, mobilize the National Guard, increase the Border Patrol, etc. Are you? Oh, wait, those are Newt's ideas. They must be bad ideas...for some reason.
Take a gander at how long this person has been here-Nov 2011.
Lots of plants like this on this site lately.
I believe you said that if Cain did not win the nomination, which he won't, you were going to write in Sarah Palin. This is equivalent to not voting, which is mathmatically identical to voting for Barak Obama. There are two explanations for this: Either you are an idiot for thinking that announcing a principled stand on an anonymous web forum is relevant, or you are a pro-Obama troll. I don't believe you are actually advocating for Obama.
How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico
Illegal Immigrants Leaving Arizona Over New Law
Alabama reaps huge rewards from immigration enforcement bill.
Yeah right.
Newt on immigration
Newts solution
(My comments)
1. Control the border
Round-the-clock drone flights to monitor activity, multi-layer, strategic fencing in urban areas, and vastly improved communication between state and federal authorities.
(So they can ground the drones whenever they want to)
2. Create a 21st Century Visa Program
A biometric, tamper-proof card.
(let everyone in)
3. In-source the best brains in the world
Allow easier transition from an F (student) visa to an H1-B (high-skill) visa.
Allow qualified foreign students to transition immediately into the American workforce.
(Make it easier for foreign students to compete against Americans for jobs and keep wages down)
4. Allow foreigners, who want to spend money, invest and create jobs in America to do so.
(What he is saying here is to do away with the $1 million minimum investment required for an EB-5 program that allows foreigners to move here. Open business based on the foreigners skill to raise American capital, as long as he employees people for 10 years)
More consular staff and a video interview program to create more tourism jobs.
(Newt points out that we loose millions of tourist a year do to illegal immigration)
(Make it easier for the rich to retire in America)
5. There has to be a legal quest worker program, but its management must be outsourced to a sophisticated manager of anti-fraud systems, such as American Express, Visa, or Mastercard.
(Replace E-Verify for guest workers and pay corporations for providing biometric cards)
6. Create a path to earned legality for some of the millions of people who are here outside the law.
(Oh, there are only 8 to 12 million illegal aliens)
A citizens review in individual communities to determine who will continue on this path to legality, and who will be sent home.
(to insure that communities remain segregated)
those here outside the law will be granted Temporary Legal Status
(All of them, I repeat, All of them. Every illegal aliens will receive temporary legal status)
must be able to prove that they can independently pay for private health insurance
proficiency in English within a certain number of years
(Is he talking about those that have already been here 25 years? My neighbor wouldnt qualify)
pay a penalty of at least $5,000
(Each of their kids cost the taxpayer approximately $130,000 for kindergarten thru 12th grade)
prove on a regular basis that they can support themselves
7. Deportation of criminals and gang members should be efficient and fast.
(Nothing about sanctuary cities)
8. Ensure that every new citizen and every young American learn American history and the key principles of American Exceptionalism.
9. English must be the official language of government.
10. Young non-citizens who came to the United States outside the law should have the same right to join the military and earn citizenship.
there will not be an option to petition for legal status and citizenship for their parents
Vote for the most conservative in the primaries and the Republican in the general.
If that is all we do, Obama will be gone in 2012.
I won't vote for a pro-amnesty liberal POS. You will. Good for you.
Has nothing to do with my point. I hope we are beyond disputing the idea that Gingrich wants to seal the border.
Illegal Immigrants Leaving Arizona Over New Law
Gingrich and I agree that SOME illegals will leave when we enforce the laws. That's why he plans to do so. But, again, this was not my point.
Alabama reaps huge rewards from immigration enforcement bill.
See my previous point.
After we seal the borders and enforce the laws, perhaps as many as 10mm illegals will still chose to remain in the country outside the laws. Gingrich is the only candidate with a plan to address this. Actually, Gingrich is the only candidate who even HAS a comprehensive immigration plan.
Anything less than requiring people who are working here illegally to return home to apply for a worker visa is amnesty.
~Newt Gingrich
Now he says it's 'inhumane' to for them to leave.
Be it Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich, they flip-flop and say anything they think they need to say to fool the foolish. I'm not fooled.
You forgot the part about Amnesty.
The only reason I even know who you are is because you troll every Gingrich thread with the same lies. And I do not attack, I make observations. For instance, writing in Sarah Palin when she isn't running is the same thing as voting for Obama. I don't know what to call that other than stupid.
Lies? Name one lie I have ever posted about your pro-amnesty POS candidate.
WOW!. I see all the David Axel rod minions are out in full force tonight. David must be grinning from ear to ear as his plan is working to perfection.
The question itself contains a lie. How am I supposed to take you seriously?
Or treat you with the respect you so desperately crave for that matter.
Would Newt cave the first time a marxist federal judge "stays" the fence building for whatever reason?
By his own definition, Newt is for amnesty. You may not like that, you may deny it. But your denials won't change the fact that by his own definition Newt Gingrich is for amnesty.
Refute that.
I forgot which candidate is running on the Andrew Jackson "I promise to disregard the judiciary and do whatever I feel like" platform. Which one is it again? I'm pretty sure Old Hickory is dead, so it can't be him.
You forgot to mention the $5000 penalty.
Why, isn't he the historic jackass perpetually honored by the RAT mascot?
I am not for a fence. personally i believe its going to cost alot of money we don't have and the mexicans will just figure out a way through it.
why not just enforce the laws. quite giving them all the freebies and watch them flood back to mexico.
You have a deal!
Advocates of amnesty should not be taken seriously if they claim to be also in favor of tougher border control.
Make it impossible for them to work or derive sustenance here and they will self deport. Scorched earth for the illegals, this is war and we need to fight to win. Anything less is surrender to them and the eventual death of the American Republic, or I suppose you have stats to prove they are assimilating and becoming the long promised "new conservative base", we`ve been told of by the pro-amnesty crowd?
And while we`re at it, try giving 10% of the fines to anyone who snitches on the employer who is using illegals. I know I`ll drop dime in a heartbeat for 10% of the fines, I`d impose, per illegal!
Speaking of fences, how's that fence working out there in San Diego?
Do you really think that making them legal, but not giving them an option for citizenship will stand? Even if the Democrats went along initially, it would not be long before cries about 'second class (non) citizens' were being made. Those in support of legalization, but not a path to citizenship would be the new racists, the new bigots, the new haters of Hispanics.
And Newt would almost certainly cave to this sort of name calling. Just look at his disgraceful and shameful betrayal on racial preferences back in the 90s. He once talked tough ending racial preferences, but once he attained the position and power to do something about it, he caved. He could have got a strong and popular anti-preferences bill passed and made it hard for Clinton to veto it, but he decided opposing preferences (and defending the interest of poor-middle class whites) was not worth it. He decided it didn't fit the image of a modern GOP (i.e. one where he didn't get called nasty names) he was trying to build.
So yeah, I think the chance that a President Gingrich would change his mind, and decide to grant a path to citizenship for all the red card holders to be about 99%. And then of course the vast majority of those that do go on to become citizens and vote will vote Democratic. And the GOP's demographic destruction will happen that much sooner.

Corn harvest coming late
September 6, 2008
This year's corn harvest for silage is off to a late start, according to area harvesters.
Wayne Hardin of Hardin Custom Harvesting said the harvest usually starts Aug. 15, but this year it didn't start until Aug. 25.
"Everything's late," he said.
Kevin Breshears said he was idle the whole first week of September — the first time that has happened in his nine years of custom harvesting.
Hardin said early-planted corn suffered from hot, dry winds in June, but corn planted later benefitted from August rains.
The late rains contributed to better plant health, but the corn is holding its moisture longer, said Breshears. Corn harvested for silage should be at 65-70 percent moisture, he said.
"I think the quality's going to be a lot better," he said.
Breshears moved two "choppers" to a field west of Portales on Saturday, where he will begin cutting on Monday.
The corn is still a little on the moist side, he said, but still acceptable.
"We've got to get going," Breshears said. "The frost will be chasing us out of the fields."
Hardin said that frost ruins corn for cattle feed.
Most of the area corn harvested for silage goes to area dairies for cattle feed. Hardin said some silage also goes to a feedlot in Texas.
Hardin employs six equipment operators and will have 45 semi trucks on hand to move the silage from the field to the dairies. He said about 15 trucks are local, the rest are drivers who follow the harvests.
Breshears said he has employees from South Africa who operate his two choppers. He said it will take 16 trucks to keep up with the choppers.
Breshears said he expects to harvest 4,000-5,000 acres, producing as much as 120,000 tons of silage.
Hardin and Breshears said silage is selling for $36-40 a ton.
Silage Production
• A large machine commonly called a chopper is used to cut down corn and chop it into small pieces. The machine also includes a kernel processor that cracks the corn kernels so cattle can digest them.
• The silage is placed in silos on the ground and compacted with a large tractor. Compacting is important because it helps remove the oxygen from the crop material.
• The silage is covered with plastic. It heats up and goes through a brief fermenting process, during which the heat increases by about 20 degrees and the Ph level drops from 7.5 to 4.
• Thirty to 45 days after being placed in the silo, silage is ready to feed to cattle.

"We don't just want the money to come to Haiti. Stop sending money. Let's fix it. Let's fix it," declared Republic of Haiti President Michel Martelly three years after the 2010 earthquake. Martelly was referring to foreign aid, $9 billion of which has been pledged to the country since the disaster. But financial aid has of course not been the only item sent to Haiti; the country has experienced a vast influx of goods, including clothing, shoes, food, and in particular, rice. Haiti imports approximately 80% of its rice, making it the country's most significant food import.
Considering Haiti was self-sufficient in rice production in the 1970s, this should come as an alarming statistic. Along with rice, production of goods in around 200 companies enabled Haiti, at one time, to be a recognized exporter and experience moderate levels of prosperity. In her Foreign Policy article, "Subsidizing Starvation," Maura R. O'Connor cites U.S. Ambassador to Haiti from 1981 to 1983, Ernest Preeg:
"Haiti was just as far along as anyone else," said Preeg. "People came to Port-au-Prince to get jobs because it was a burgeoning export economy." Preeg wrote an article in 1984 in which he echoed the view of many others that Haiti could be the "Taiwan of the Caribbean."
But starting in the early 90s, these industries crumbled, as international trade embargos — prompted by a military coup against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide — were implemented and foreign imports began to flood the Haitian market. (more…)

Customer Feedback
Comments: Tip heavy to the point where it is unpleasant to fish after an hour or so. I will say that it is sensitive, and will get the job done. In all fairness, there aren't very many good flipping sticks in the 100$ range. If you can, save up for the new cumaras, those are wicked.
From: Sam: O-town, Ont, Canada
Comments: I didn't buy this rod. I was about to buy one due to it's new look, telescopic design, and it's IM8 blank, but I chose to go to my local tackle store to hold it first. I held the 7'7" and the tip is too heavy and too soft for my cup of tea. I will save up for a Dobyns.

Enough hills to take your breath away too.Organisation was flawless and the enthusiasm of those at the drink stations, especially the kids, was a joy.

Well done and thankyou for making my first full one a memorable one. Not to say its an easy course though! If you crave a challenge as opposed to monotony, if stunning scenery matters and clean air to breathe enroute (makes a change to traffic pollution) then make this one to do next year.The remote, rural start with pipers leading the way (not all of the way though!) was surreal. The route was breathtaking in every sense of the word, with genuine support from small pockets of people. And the finish...as said by others, finishing in a stadium makes you feel as if you've actually achieved something. Special praise must go to the tireless commentator(s) with typical Scottish wit, humour and staying power.This is how you do a race. Other organisers take note and learn some lessons please!Thanks very much guysDate of review: October 7, 2008

Danziger, Paula
Paula Danziger 1944–
American young adult novelist.
Following the tradition of Judy Blume and Norma Klein, Danziger writes fiction for young adults which portrays contemporary adolescent life realistically. Since the publication of The Cat Ate My Gymsuit in 1974, Danziger has become one of the most popular writers among young adults. Her appeal can perhaps be attributed to the fact that she combines realism with humor and addresses some of the more difficult aspects of growing up with candor and empathy.
A junior high school reading instructor, Danziger has based much of her work on her own life and on the experiences of her students. Cat, for instance, stemmed from the stormy relationship she had with her father; like Marcy, she was a perpetual failure in gym and had a younger brother who stuffed his teddy bear with orange pits. Danziger's funny, somewhat self-effacing middle-class heroines face a variety of problems as they move between school, family, and friends. Her novels present dilemmas to which teenagers can relate, ranging from simple feelings of inadequacy to the trauma of divorced parents.
Critical reaction to her novels has been mixed. While it is acknowledged that her subjects are relevant, some critics feel that she explores such important issues as peer pressure, challenged sexual mores, and parental insensitivity without depth or fresh insight. While granting that Danziger does not romanticize her characters or their situations, some critics feel that she dilutes reality to the point where her books are valuable only as light reading. However, her use of wit and humor is universally applauded, as is her ability to create believable heroines. Despite critical reaction, the wide readership of young adults has affirmed their appreciation of Danziger's sensitive, accurate portrayals of their concerns and feelings.
Cathy S. Coyle
The issues of teacher independence and student protest [in The Cat Ate My Gymsuit] are topical, and Marcy, an intelligent and enjoyable adolescent, is an appealing heroine; however, the ending is anticlimactic and unsatisfying … and some of the characters like Marcy's bullying father are stereotypes.
Cathy S. Coyle, "Junior High Up: 'The Cat Ate My Gymsuit'," in School Library Journal, an appendix to Library Journal (reprinted from the November, 1974 issue of School Library Journal, published by R. R. Bowker Co./A Xerox Corporation; copyright © 1974), Vol. 21, No. 3, November, 1974, p. 62.
Kirkus Reviews
At its worst, [The Cat Ate My Gymsuit] is a trite and trendy saga of how a junior high English class gets it together to fight for the job of Ms. Finney—a paragon of an innovative teacher who puts across dangling participles and sensitivity sessions with equal ease. The only relief from cliche is the relationship between lumpish, insecure Marcy and her father—a frustrated, angry, non-verbal man who can show his love only through providing food and shopping trips. The parent who can't communicate his love and concern is no doubt a more common problem than alcoholism or divorce, but he's seldom dealt with this forthrightly in contemporary stories, where parents, whatever their faults, are usually articulate. Marcy's tense family situation is really the subject here; the instant therapeutic effect of Ms. Finney, a sort of denim-skirted deus ex machina, is a cop-out.
"Young Adult Fiction: 'The Cat Ate My Gymsuit'," in Kirkus Reviews (copyright © 1974 The Kirkus Service, Inc.), Vol. XLII, No. 22, November 15, 1974, p. 1206.
Veronica Geng
Barbara Finney is not exactly A. S. Neill, and "The Cat Ate My Gymsuit" stands in relation to literature as Judith Viorst's verses do to poetry. But it is funny and alive, and if it encourages readers to expect something more from teachers than they are getting, it is well worth [its price].
Veronica Geng, "'The Cat Ate My Gym Suit'," in The New York Times Book Review (© 1975 by The New York Times Company; reprinted by permission), January 5, 1975, p. 8.
Journal Of Reading
The Cat Ate My Gymsuit is such an unusual title that it is sure to arouse curiosity. If readers expect humor, they will get it, but it is well blended with worthwhile values and character development. (p. 333)
For all its marvelous humor, this book is still realistic. Marcy's sense of humor is a counterbalance to her father's negative influence and helps keep her going.
The Cat Ate My Gymsuit is a thoroughly enjoyable, tightly written, funny/sad tale of an unglamorous but plucky girl who is imaginative, believable, and worthy of emulation. (p. 335)

Kirkus Reviews
Thirteen-year-old Cassie starts her first-person story [The Pistachio Prescription] with the assertion that "Pistachio nuts, the red ones, cure any problem," and she ends with "Twinkies, I bet, are the answer"—a fair enough indication of the level of growth that has transpired in between. And though Cassie does indeed have problems that neither pistachios nor twinkies can solve—chiefly, divorcing parents whose insensitivity brings on her frequent asthma attacks—her tone throughout is so glib and inauthentic that it's hard to believe in a real suffering child under all the predictably triggered hysterics. ("Sometimes I think my parents are wonderful, and sometimes I hate them" is a typical Danziger illustration of adolescent psychology.)… Not improbable, but shallow—a synthetic slice of "typical teenage" life.

The quotation from [Albert] Camus that precedes [The Pistachio Prescription] tells all: "In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer."… Cassie begins to understand that the situation [between her parents] is irrevocable [and] that she can live through the years before she is able to leave home…. Not unusual in theme, this is unusually well done; the characterization and dialogue are strong, the relationships depicted with perception, and the writing style vigorous.

Selma G. Lanes
["The Pistachio Prescription"] is a novel no thoughtful 9- to 13-year-old should let parents see. They may not survive the instant ego deflation of viewing themselves through adolescent eyes…. On the other hand, Cassie's peers will surely identify with the ugly duckling heroine's inferiority complex, her hypochondria, her first love and her unexpected nomination for president of "the freshperson class" (my favorite phrase in the entire book). The work is really an extended monologue with lots of snappy one-liners, some good, some not…. And though her parents clearly seem headed for the divorce court by book's end, the heroine is beginning to make her own peace with them, and with the world as it is....

Cyrisse Jaffe
Lively, believable and thoroughly readable, [The Pistachio Prescription] will have the same wide appeal as the author's previous book, The Cat Ate My Gymsuit. Cassie is beset with some typical teenage insecurities…. Cassie, who believes her only salvation lies in compulsive pistachio eating, is an energetic and likable heroine. Readers will identify with her troubles at home and at school, and enjoy the skillful rendering of Cassie's growth and maturing. Despite an occasionally superficial passage and a resolution that moves too swiftly to be satisfying, the juxtaposition of Cassie's personal triumphs … and her parents' impending divorce adds the necessary depth….

[In Can You Sue Your Parents for Malpractice?, Lauren's parents] give her trouble, particularly her father, who is domineering; she's also troubled by her parents' fighting. Such general problems are the background for a wry and humorous story of Lauren's coping with the conformity her classmates and friends expect…. While Lauren is confronting the generation gap, establishing independence, giving adherence to standards of social behavior, and other universal problems of the adolescent, the book has enough humor and breezy dialogue to make it fun to read, and enough solidity in characters and relationships to make it thought-provoking.

Ninth-grader Lauren [in Can You Sue Your Parents for Malpractice?] has a stereotypically impossible father (he rails against his wife going to work part-time; he disowns his college-age daughter for moving in with her boyfriend) and, like other Danziger heroines, she has "typical" concerns which are projected wholly from her shallow perspective…. Her ten-year-old sister Linda is dying for a training bra, so Lauren, remembering how important it was, gives her her old one—in a scene that makes Judy Blume's Margaret [in Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret] seem complex. But Lauren's big problem is the flak she gets from other kids at junior high when she starts dating Zach, who is only in eighth grade...

["Can You Sue Your Parents for Malpractice?"] takes place in the airless chamber of early adolescence.
The heavy problems of Lauren and Linda and Bonnie are: 1) Does it hurt to get your ears pierced? 2) Should ninth-grade girls go out with eighth-grade boys? 3) Should fifth-grade girls wear training bras?
The atmosphere is close and sweaty and mildly titillating, with cute boys on the telephone, copulating Ken and Barbie dolls, hair appearing or not appearing under the arm, and parents who are always fighting and deserve to be sued for malpractice….

FAITH McNULTY
[Paula Danziger is a writer like Judy Blume] who capitalizes on the sordid details of adolescence [and whose] "Can You Sue Your Parents for Malpractice?"… is ruefully and relentlessly funny, in a style reminiscent of Erma Bombeck's. Danziger's heroine is fourteen, and, it says on the jacket, "her life is the pits."… In the end, the heroine feels a lot better because, in a moment of revelation, she accepts her dreary future. "My life's not going to drastically change," she muses. "It hardly ever does when you're a kid. My parents certainly aren't going to change that much…. What I am sure of is that I finally did something for myself, that I'm learning to do what I think is best for me." I took the last sentence...

Natalie Babbitt
Miss Danziger's popularity, like Mrs. [Judy] Blume's, is easily explained, but the reasons for it are quite different. In spite of its trendy title, "Bunk Five" is not a funny story any more than its predecessor was—notwithstanding the frequent one-liner zingers in both—and Marcy's family life continues to be miserable, her father a monster, the communication gap a chasm. Marcy begins, of course, to learn tolerance and understanding at camp, to become, presumably, more "adult." But in the world Miss Danziger presents, adults, with a couple of exceptions, are two-dimensional, egocentric and small-minded. If this is really the case, why try to be one? But Miss Danziger is playing pretty much flat out for the...

In some ways [There's A Bat in Bunk Five] is the usual camping story of pranks, bunkmates, adjustment to separation from parents, etc. This doesn't, however, follow a formula plot; it has depth in the relationships and characterizations; and it's written with vigor and humor. Marcy learns not to expect too much from others, not to assume that all problems will—or can—be solved; she also learns not to expect too much from herself.

Danziger's ability to create believable, funny dialogue and to capture the feelings and thoughts of a 14-year-old is highly evident [in There's A Bat in Bunk Five]. Episodes roll along without much tension or drama, unfortunately, and what is there is too quickly resolved; but readers will be captivated by the natural flow and breezy style.

HARRIET McCLAIN
[In There's a Bat in Bunk Five the] author has skillfully balanced her insight into the daily trauma of the young adult years with liberal doses of humor. The book is neither didactic nor reeking of bibliotherapeutic intentions; yet junior-high readers should feel reassured by it.

Kirkus Reviews
From Barbara's exemplary surrogate-parenting to Marcy's continuing lack of communication with her father and her new fear of her feelings when kissing Ted, [There's A Bat in Bunk Five] gives us pop-psychology profiles instead of imagined characters and shallow with-it attitudes instead of sincere probing. Danziger's fans probably won't mind, but neither will they be stretched an inch.

This is my MUST -take vitamin every day!
Posted by NMS-Three-Six-Five on Feb 01, 2016
I have been taking this product for over a year and it will stay in my regimen. I am a 35 year old female who has had moderate acne since having kids over the last 10 years. Even though I am pretty healthy (eat healthy and exercise regularly), every month I would get at least 2 or 3 cystic acne spots, especially around my monthly cycle. By the time the cystic acne would heal, it would just be starting again. This product broke that cycle! As long as I take it diligently every day I have clear skin. It is really that easy and I have gone off it a few times to be sure...and sure enough it comes back. I can't say it would work for every type of acne, but mild-moderate adult acne...it is worth a try! You just have to be sure to take it every day for 30 days and then judge the results. ** For new customers of iHerb, please also visit my page for more product reviews **
An immediate difference
Posted by Reviewer1338637 on Oct 17, 2007
Im very impressed with the immediate effect it had on my husbands skin. His skin stopped producing excessive amounts of sebum. Its been a week and 1/2 and no new pimples are appearing, allowing the old acne to fade away. We added the acneadvance to a health care regime of a healthy diet (less sugar, more veggies), maca (hormone balancing), goji (antioxidant), and probiotics (detoxing). I am very excited to see the ultimate result after his red acne spots fade.

After almost 2 months of using this, I haven't noticed a difference at all. Was hoping for a change, as have suffered from embarrassing acne for years.
Love it! Had Cystic Acne.
Posted by JenniferAyers on Jan 25, 2011
As the other reviewers said, Be Consistent! I always remember to take this and it works AMAZINGLY! I had been taking antibiotics for the last 2 and a half years and I was just fed up with them. I have been using this product for the last 3 months and I have not been happier. It works just as well as the antibiotics and is much easier on your body. I take this in conjunction with Derma-Vits, Maca (To help level out my hormones) and I use sulfur soap. I still get the occasional break out but it is much better.

I've suffered from acne for about 10 years and have always gone to dermatologists. I was tired of the harsh treatments and decided to try this stuff and it works for the most part. All my big cysts are gone, i still have breakouts, but there more so around that time of the month, other than that, my face is pretty smooth and not such a problem area anymore.

Après 1 mois ma peau à vraiment changer d'apparence et mon acné c'est vraiment dissipée. J'ai fait une cure de 4 mois et depuis je suis vraiment tranquille je n'ai aucun problème. Évidemment quelques petits boutons reviennent de temps en temps mais ce n'est vraiment rien par rapport à tous ceux qui poussaient auparavant. Je garde une boîte au cas où si ma peau en ressent le besoin mais je ne peux que le conseiller pour vraiment lutter contre l'acné qui résiste.

It can make your skin better only if you use it regularly! When I often forget to take it my skin starts to look worse. Especially I can recommend it to people who have some problems with dygestive tract and to women with menstrual disorders or who have both of the problems that can cause acne!
Lovely Product
Posted by Reviewer2105327 on Nov 24, 2010
I've definitely noticed a huge difference in my acne since I started taking these vitamins. I've had no side effects and my skin feels a lot better. The bottle says to take one 3x daily, but they work even when taken 2x daily. I'll definitely buy more!
Aceneadvance is a great product!

This product has been working beautifully on my 12 year old daughter. She is in her 2nd month and her face has cleared up 80%. It's a self esteem boost and the cost is a lot less than doctor visits!

[video] GM Proves America Can Still Drive Big
NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- Today at Cedar Lake Studio in New York, General Motors
Of course, in a world of CAFE standards where fuel efficiency is king, it would seem gas-guzzlers are beset by manifold challenges. Amazingly, though, GM is dismantling that expectation.
Of course, SUVs in total are only 6.5% of the U.S. light vehicle market this year compared to 18% in 1999, according to Sean P. McAlinden, chief economist at the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich. Sales this year of SUVs are up only 1.4% this year compared to 9.5% for the overall market.
Still, GM has legacy on its side, having produced the Suburban as a profitable niche vehicle since 1935, and in a sense it could be viewed as efficient, not just an industrial haul vehicle.
"It can hold seven people and produce better fuel mileage for seven occupants than three equivalent sub-compact cars to do the same job," McAlinden said.
Perhaps that's in part why GM--with dealers delivering 275,847 vehicles in the United States in August, up 15% compared with a year ago--has been a hit with household consumers: retail sales increased 22% while fleet sales were down 8%. The large SUV segment was up 29% in August compared to the previous year.
"So the Suburban and Tahoe are now profitable niche vehicles like expensive 'gas guzzling' German sports cars, not used in construction but used by hedge fund managers to get to two power lunches a day," McAlinden said. "That doesn't mean these vehicles are very profitable - it just means that their competition has withered away and the surviving models are the best of the bunch - so they think in Texas."

- This feature is available from 3.1
- This explain the advanced cluster configuration requiring NFS and Cubrid.
- If you want to run cluster without much effort, see Easy Clustering Guide.
We enhanced nGrinder to support clustering from 3.1.
If you don't know about nGrinder cluster, please refer to Cluster Architecture. Following shows how to set up nGrinder cluster mode. Assuming you have been familiar with nGrinder in single instance mode. All nGrinder controllers should use the same DB and file system in cluster mode. What we should do at first is to make a shared folder on the NFS and make all controllers point this as ${NGRINDER_HOME}. And edit ${NGRINDER_HOME}/system.conf like followings.
# if you want to enable ngrinder controller clustering. please enable below. ngrinder.cluster.mode=true # list of controller IPs ngrinder.cluster.uris=xx.xx.xx.xx;xx.xx.xx.xx # cache cluster listener port. ngrinder.cluster.listener.port=40003
Next step is to create the each controller's specific information. For this ${NGRINDER_EX_HOME}/system-ex.conf file is used. Not like ${NGRINDER_HOME}, ${NGRINDER_EX_HOME} is not automatically created by nGrinder. Therefore you should make it in the local file system not to be shared by other controller. Create ${NGRINDER_EX_HOME}/system-ex.conf file and specify the region name here. The controller which reads this configuration will act as specified region controller.
# Region setting of this controller. # When running nGrinder in cluster mode, the ${NGRINDER_HOME} should be shared by other controllers. # We expect this to be done by running ${NGRINDER_HOME} on NFS. # However region setting can not be set on ${NGRINDER_HOME} because each controller in cluster must have its own configuration. # Therefore, nGrinder supports one more configuration store folder ${NGRINDER_EX_HOME} # Please locate following setting in the ${NGRINDER_EX_HOME}(by default ${user.home}/.ngrinder_ex)/system-ex.conf ngrinder.cluster.region=Beijing
After finish this configuration, just restart all nGrinder controllers and login again. We will see this icon at headline!
If you want to put the L4 or load balancer in front of all controllers, you should set it up as sticky session so that each client connects only one controller. Otherwise, users may login again whenever they access difference controller.
After the controller configuration, you should also set the region name to all agents. As you should know, we should set the connecting controller IP in each agents. Now there are several controllers. So you should choose one of them depending on what region you want this agent to serve for. You need to add the not only connecting controller IP but also region name this controller handles.
- agent.console.ip=controller ip
- agent.console.port= controller port
- agent.region=controller region name
If this agent is User Agent, it should be like:
- agent.console.ip=controller ip
- agent.console.port= controller port
- agent.region={controller region name}_owned_{userID}
