Subject | How to manage properties for identical tasks/macros run in parallel? |
Date | Mon, 07 Mar 2011 07:22:39 GMT |
Hello ant users. I am facing an issue with handling properties with calls to tasks/macros nested within the parallel task. More of a logical/approach related issue rather than anything with the tool itself. Here go the details: Using ant: Apache Ant version 1.8.1 compiled on April 30 2010 With Java: java version "1.6.0_22" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode, sharing) The most relevant part of the build.xml: <parallel> <mySleep seconds="4"/> <mySleep seconds="3"/> <mySleep seconds="2"/> <mySleep seconds="1"/> </parallel> mySleep is my own macro with the following declaration: <macrodef name="mySleep"> <attribute name="seconds"/> <sequential> <sleep seconds="@{seconds}"/> <!-- In my actual case, this is exec calls with the outputproperty attribute --> <property name="myProp" value="my value = @{seconds}"/> <echo>Now working with ${myProp}</echo> </sequential> </macrodef> Since properties are immutable, if it so happens that the 4th macro call sets the property, the rest of them cannot modify it. A quick alternative to this might be using the variable task (in place of property) from ant-contrib.sf.net. However, the above is just an example. In reality, my macro does an exec call. The outputproperty attribute to the exec call will be what I need to process later. So I guess my questions are: 1) What is the best approach to handle properties/variables for (almost) identical macro calls ? I cannot modify the property name each time. I could redirect stdout/stderr of the exec task to some file. But not sure how to guarantee that the file will be unique and not get overwritten if 2 tasks finish at the same instant of time. 2) Can the outputproperty value be captured in a variable directly ? I read that it is possible to use the ant-contrib propertycopy task to get one property value into another. But then there is a risk that the copy might not be synchronized ... The last option I have is of course to get rid of the parallel task and let the macros run one after the other. But that would be modifying the requirement to suit the scripting limitation I've run into. So I thought of asking here before jumping on any implementation. Thanks in advance for any pointers, Parag Doke Save paper, save trees. Do not print emails/documents unless absolutely necessary. | |

With just a few days left in the legislative session, opposition is growing fast to proposals that would dismantle the state's retirement system. Firefighters, police officers and other public employees have joined teachers and education support professionals in speaking out against the proposed legislation.
In addition, the Legislature's own actuarial consultant told lawmakers that their proposed defined contribution plan "is not a reliable vehicle to produce financial security at retirement." And groups continue to point out the flawed assumptions on which the state's contract actuaries have built their case.
In light of the growing chorus of doubts, opposition and unanswered questions, we urge lawmakers to slow down and take a deep breath.
A handful of days is not nearly enough time to do the additional homework that needs to be done.
Before we commit ourselves to this untried plan, let's all make sure we know the consequences (intended and otherwise) of such a total rewrite of the retirement laws.
We urge lawmakers to appoint an interim subcommittee to work over the summer and fall and give this matter the time and attention it deserves.
One unintended consequence of taking action too hastily: Dismantling the retirement system would be a body blow to our public schools. Its impact would fall hardest on Alaska's children, and our own future.
Here's why.
A quality teacher in every classroom is the single most im-portant ingredient in student achievement. As a small state, Alaska will always have to hire about 75 percent of our teachers Outside. But school districts already are having trouble attracting and retaining the quality teachers our children deserve.
Too many teacher salaries are no longer competitive in the marketplace. Add in a dicey retirement system in which the teacher has to assume all the market risks, and the incentive to move to Alaska just about disappears.
Under the plan being put forward now, any young teacher who started work this fall and taught for 30 years would see her hard won retirement income consumed by health insurance premiums. She could be eating cat food andbecause she could no longer afford to keep her houseliving outside.
But that's not the worst of it. Alaska is not a Social Security state. For teachers and the vast majority of other school employees, those benefits are either unavailable or greatly reduced.
Despite these disincentives, an eager young teacher or other school employee may sign on with a school district. But will they stay? We doubt it. And when they do leave, under the proposed new plan's portability provision, they'll take their retirement account with them.
Portability in a retirement plan would work against the districts' need for a stable, committed group of teachers and support professionals. The costs of high turnover would be measured in training and mentoring dollars walking out the door. But it also would be measured in the lack of continuity and stability in our children's learning.
For Alaska's teachers and support staff, for Alaska's schools, and for Alaska's children, we urge legislators to take the time to get it right. NEA-Alaska has many members who have served on the Teachers Retirement System (TRS) board and understand retirement issues well. We stand ready to work with lawmakers over the interim to achieve the goals that we both share: 1) a retirement system that rests on a firm financial foundation; and 2) a safe and secure retirement system for teachers, education support professionals, and other public employees.
Bill Bjork is the president of NEA-Alaska. He is an award-winning teacher with 27 years of experience, six in Arctic Village and 21 in Fairbanks. NEA-Alaska represents 12,500 teachers and education support professionals in schools throughout Alaska.

text: ATLANTA (AP) — Though Georgia is known for its peaches, blueberries have mounted a challenge in recent years and have quietly overtaken the peach as the state's top-selling fruit crop. Blueberry sales are five times what they were in 2003. Meanwhile, peach sales are basically flat, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported (http://bit.ly/LaBNMT ). In 2010, blueberries brought in $133 million vs. $47 million for peaches, figures from the University of Georgia show. A decade ago, Georgia tallied 8,000 acres of blueberries. Today, it has more than 19,000. Peach acres dropped from 16,000 to 12,000 during that period. "It's blueberry's moment in the sun," said Scott NeSmith, the University of Georgia's blueberry specialist. "The peach market has matured." But peach advocates say the development won't threaten Georgia's motto of "The Peach State." "There's nothing as sweet as a Georgia peach, not even a little old blueberry," said Perry Swanson, president of the Peach County Chamber of Commerce. "Besides, would people say, 'That girl's as pretty as a Georgia blueberry?'" ___ Information from: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, http://www.ajc.com Copyright 2012 The Associated Press.

I really don't like the most recent update. It's always a pain to have to learn how to navigate something all over again. I'll backup everyone else in this thread saying that it runs pretty poorly on Windows. It crashes frequently enough to be annoying and there is an annoying delay on actions if you let it stay open for an extended period of time. It's almost like the performance actively degrades over time.
If I knew of a good alternative I would be all over it.

Stockton, Calif. – The Pacific men's basketball dropped a 70-53 decision at home to Gonzaga on Thursday, February 27. With the loss, the Tigers dropped to 14-14 overall and 5-12 in West Coast Conference action. Gonzaga improved to 24-6 and 14-3 in WCC play. A crowd of 5,454 was on hand for the game, Pacific's largest Spanos Center crowd since a sellout crowd of 6,150 for the Tigers' home game against Cal State Northridge on Feb. 26, 2005.
"There was such a great atmosphere in the Spanos Center tonight," said Pacific Head Coach Ron Verlin. "The crowd really helped us get back into the game on a couple of occasions. We congratulate Gonzaga on another league title, but look forward to facing them again next week in Las Vegas."
The Tigers had a rough start, going 0-3 from the field and had three turnovers in the first five minutes to trail 8-0. Junior Aaron Short hit a three-pointer following an offensive rebound and senior Ross Rivera hit a trey to make it 8-6 with 14:30 left in the half. The teams traded the lead five teams, until a jumper by senior Tony Gill evened the game at 16-16 with 9:25 to play. The Bulldogs then went on a 13-0 run over the next three minutes, as Kevin Pangos scored nine points to a 29-16 lead. Short hit another three-pointer later in the half to cut it back to 10 (37-27), but the Bulldogs were able to push it back to 40-28 at the halftime break.
Pacific fell behind by 22 (53-31) after Gonzaga opened the second half with a 13-3 run. From there the Tigers were looking to cut into the lead the rest of the way. A three-point play by senior Trevin Harris and a tip-in by junior Gabriel Aguirre immediately cut the lead back to 17 (53-36) with 14:38 to play in the game. The Bulldogs pushed the lead back up to 23 (61-38), before the Tigers struck for five in a row off of a Gill layup and a three-pointer from senior Andrew Bock. The Tigers could only get as close as 17 the rest of the way.
Wallace led the Tigers with nine points, while Gill scored eight. Short had a team-best and career-high nine rebounds. The Tigers shot 30.9% from the field, holding Gonzaga to a 42.0% mark. Pacific held a 43-39 rebounding edge, including 14-8 on the offensive end.
The Tigers are next in action with their final home game of the season against Portland on Saturday, March 1 at 3:00 p.m. The game will be carried by theW.tv and will be the final home game for seven Tiger seniors.

Looks like the Jaguars might have been fooled. Hopefully this kid cleans up his act.
KC Ticket Guy's Blog: Justin Blackmon (OSU COWBOYS/ Jacksonville Jaguars) gets a 2nd DUI charge
Meh, after reading it I expected it to be a lot worse. He got a "DUI complaint" not exactly sure what that is but I'm still young enough to remember some of the stupid stuff I did when I'd just turned 21 or 22. So that one I'd kinda blow off.
This one is just him being stupid but the headline is a journalist trying to get shock value. That's like someone saying that I've drank over 100 beers. Sure I might have done that, especially when you give me a two year time span to do it in.
The moron blew a .24! The Article stated that level of intoxication was a 220 lb. man having 12 drinks in an hour. He then decided to drive! 60 mph in a 35 mph zone. As long as he does not kill someone it's just stupid stuff young people do?
I've got nothing against a guy having a few or thirty, it's your business. Get behind the wheel, then you become EVERY ones problem. By the way his 1st offense was DUI while doing 92 mph in a 60 mph zone. This is his 2nd offense.
This idiot just made the big time so I'm sure he could afford a cab!!
I hope they throw the proverbial book at him. Maybe he'll smarten up.
I'm betting this is one time the Jaguars wish they could change their spots.
I've gotta agree with AkChief49 on this one. He wasn't just a little "buzzed." The legal limit is .08. He was at least 3 times the legal limit, he was going almost twice the speed limit and driving on the wrong side of the road! he could have easily killed somebody. They followed him for 4 blocks before he pulled over. That's probably because he was so hammered that he didn't see the lights in his rear view mirror, or it took that long for it to register in his head that he was the one being pulled over!
By the way, most casual drinkers will throw up long before they get anywhere near a .24 BAC. To be that drunk and still functioning indicates that he is a very heavy drinker.
You would think he would have learned a lesson from his first DUI arrest. He better get some help or he will be out of the NFL pretty quick.
His 1st offense was a minor in possession, there never was a DUI. Was he drunk and driving? Probably but that's speculation.
The 2nd one was absolutely over the limit. I'm not trying to defend the guy and you're right when you drink you need to know not to drive. But how many other people do the exact same thing and it's not thrown into the public? I'd be hard pressed to find the headline "Joe Schmoe arrested for DUI". Sure you might see one here and there but it's when the guy blows something insane, crashes or kills someone.
Overall I agree that they should throw the book at him but you have to agree that the journalist was manipulating the headline to get people to read it. Especially since he never got a 1st DUI.
You are not being completely accurate here. Your post implies that he wasn't driving drunk on his first offense. That's not true. From the article:
So this is his 2nd DUI arrest because it is the 2nd time he was arrested and charged with a DUI! Just because he plea bargained his way out of the DUI charge, that doesn't mean it never happened.Quote:
Blackmon ... was previously arrested in October 2010 on a DUI complaint. He was pulled over in Carrollton, Texas after driving 92 mph in a 60 mph zone. ... After a plea deal in Carrollton Municipal Court, Blackmon paid a fine for a reduced charge of minor in possession.
The headline is completely accurate because it says "Justin Blackmon ... gets a 2nd DUI charge." This is his 2nd DUI charge.
A good point, didn't look at it that way. I just saw 2nd DUI which I thought was saying he got his second DUI. I did some searching (which by the way it's hard to find a definition of a DUI complaint). From what I can find it seems that a DUI complaint is when they get someone for another offense (speeding in his first one) and feel that it's alcohol related.
I've looked at various cases and it seems that it's either they can't pass the drunk tests but blow below a .08 or by the time they do administer a BAC test that it's below. The other time it's done is when they think they were driving drunk but can't prove it enough to get a conviction. My guess is that the found alcohol in the car, he'd been drinking and was driving WAY to fast but couldn't prove that he was drunk.
I still think the headline is a little misleading but the bottom line is that what everyone has said is right. The guy either has a problem drinking or figuring out when he shouldn't be driving.
I'm not sure what the law is in Oklahoma or Texas. I know in Illinois there are two offenses - DUI (Driving Under the Influence) and DWI (Driving While Intoxicated). The DWI is a serious offense. It is driving with a BAC of .08 or greater (over the "legal" limit). You can get a DUI for as little as .03 BAC if the police officer thinks alcohol has impaired your ability to drive, but that is more like a traffic ticket (less serious).
In Blackmon's most recent charge, he blew a .24 which is legally intoxicated, by far, in ANY state. Like I said before, he wasn't just a little buzzed. He was very drunk. He had to know he was in no condition to drive and there is no excuse for that.
The officer performed a field sobriety test on the 20-year-old Blackmon. Under Texas law, drivers under 21 can be arrested for having any detectable amount of alcohol in his or her system and Blackmon fell into that category, Bartram said.
Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon arrested for DUI - ESPN
And that can go either way then. Was he hammered beyond belief like this last one or was the officer smelling beer and took him in? That there was a plea deal screams to me that they didn't get anything solid (aka he didn't blow over a .08) or it wouldn't have been pleaded down to a minor in possession. Granted star athlete's get preferential at times which makes me able to see the other side that he was hammered and got away with one.
Either way the guy's an idiot for driving with a .24 BAC and deserves to have the book thrown at him.

Festival PreviewWild West MovesN4th unveils variety at sixth annual contemporary dance festival
Wild Dancing West is curated and produced by VSA North Fourth Art Center. The festival runs three weekends and features contemporary dance works by five groups. Cross-disciplinary by nature, contemporary dance mixes styles and might also include poetry, theater and multimedia. "Contemporary dance is totally anything," says Susanna Kearny, marketing director for North Fourth and one of the curators of the festival. She says when the curating board is seeking out festival guests, they're aiming to show Albuquerque audiences a wide range of aesthetics and styles. The regional festival focuses on new work being created in the Southwest, pulling talent from as far as California, but also from right here at home. Kearny says it's about presenting contemporary dance from the professional scene as well as "fostering opportunity for local choreographers." Beginning artists might find it hard to get a whole run or even be presented by a theater. But if they're on a bill with other groups, Kearny says, they get to try out new work and grow their audience. Wild Dancing West unveils a huge variety of aesthetic, rounded up and brought right to Albuquerque. To that end, two Albuquerque companies Kearny describes as "preprofessional" are on the festival program in an evening titled True Colors. Loren Fletcher-Nickerson is artistic director and choreographer of a company comprised of young, aspiring professionals, Oxygen Contemporary Dance. Fletcher-Nickerson's style blurs the boundaries between dance forms. He describes the piece as "moving, cutting-edge, authentic" ballet/modern fusion. Naomi Elizabeth Montoya leads the Contemporary Dance Ensemble, comprised of high school students at PAPA, the Public Academy for Performing Arts. The Contemporary Dance Ensemble will also showcase new works. This year's festival features one of the most renowned companies it's ever presented, ODC/Dance. The San Francisco-based ensemble is celebrating its 40th anniversary, and its three resident choreographers have received six Isadora Duncan Dance Awards. "This one is a very established touring company," Kearny says. ODC/Dance is often lauded for the physical prowess of its dancers, as well as the intellectual depth of its pieces. ODC/Dance will present an evening of three picks from its repertoire. "Grassland," choreographed by KT Nelson, is a full company work inspired by the power of nature. When "Grassland" premiered in 2009, the San Francisco Chronicle called it "sensual and physically aware" and noted the dancers had "an appealing sense of curious innocence." Nelson will arrive in Albuquerque a week early for a residency teaching local dancers—another first for Wild Dancing West. Second on the bill is "Unintended Consequences: A Meditation," set to music created by performance artist and musician Laurie Anderson. The work investigates political affairs and people's inadvertent complicity in them. The third piece, "Investigating Grace," explores love, loss and transcendence. Both Investigating Grace and Unintended Consequences were choreographed by ODC/Dance's founder, artistic director and Guggenheim Fellow Brenda Way.
Wild Dancing West unveils a huge variety of aesthetic, rounded up and brought right to Albuquerque. It should be easy for audiences to find something that makes their hearts race. "The underlying theme is, there is so much going on in all the arts," Kearny says. "More variety in dance, in particular contemporary dance, than most people would even realize."

02-04-2013, 12:40 PM #1Jailbreaks and basebands
Sorry, Simon. I am not making myself clear...
My point is: I don't really know how the device baseband is altered but I read that once it happens you cannot roll back and you'll have to use a custom IPSW.
I believe it was an issue when you tried to JB previous versions of iPhone or maybe with phones that were unlocked using ultrasn0w o whatever.
So my question is: what is the problem of having the baseband altered, if there's any?

Ok, let's get out of that main thread for this. Too much happening in there. Maybe if you give me some info for what device you have, what firmware and current baseband etc. then we can go from there.
If you rely on ultrasnow then this jailbreak is not for you. The jailbreak itself doesn't affect the baseband but you would have to update to 6.1 to use this jailbreak. Updating to 6.1 will update your baseband meaning ultrasnow will not work anymore.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Wayne King
The first is the fantastic Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (1963, Decca) performed by Wayne King and His Orchestra & Chorus featuring the Wayne Robinson Singers. I've nabbed two tracks from the album for my annual comps - the free-wheeling ode to Christmas shopping, "Jing-a-ling-a-ling", and a just-dramatic-enough rendition of "Carol of the Bells", with steady rhythm kept by low harp plucks. Much of the album, however is mellow ("The Christmas Song", "Winter Wonderland") -- King, like many bandleaders at the time -- knew how to arrange a tune for maximum listening pleasure. Speaking of which, this is one rare Christmas album that plays well all the way through, making it perfect for merry-making without riding the stereo controls.
I realize this album has been posted on other great Christmas music blogs & websites, but I thought my rip of the stereo LP was too good not to share! You'll have to excuse the cover scan -- scanners don't like shrink wrap.
Link after the jump!
Please enjoy: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Wayne King and His Orchestra & Chorus

Don't apologize for posting a beautiful album that may have been posted elsewhere. True Christmas music fans will appreciate any new opportunity to hear such a great record. With the Christmas spirit, sharing is key, and no one that previously posted it should feel possesive of the record. The more, the merrier! Thanks much. Also, thanks for your previous albums as well!
ReplyDelete Thanks for this, I'm listening to this version of Winter Wonderland as I type this right now - very nice. It's funny, because I'm generally a stickler for high quality artwork in my iTunes, but I actually kind of like the plastic wave thing it's got going on here, haha!
I have some Christmas music I would love to share with you, but I can't find a place to contact you on the site. Shoot me an email and I'll get it to you ASAP! Thanks for are the love you put into the restorations.OMG. You will never know what a gift you have given with this album! This was one my father played when I was growing up. I am crying so hard right now. I never see my father because of his second wife.
Would you ever consider doing an album for me? I have the "Christmas with Red Barn" album that used to be sold at the old Red Barn restaurants. I would send it to you and pay you to do it. I paid another guy to do it and the result was awful (off of his album) but your sound quality is fantastic! Please let me know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
THANK YOU so much for this!- AnonymousMay 3, 2012 at 10:37 PM
Just found your wonderful site! This album is so special to me. And the sound is incredible! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have the album, but can't play it as I don't have a turntable. Where can I get it in a CD?

IDC Quarterly Worldwide Quarterly WLAN Tracker: Market Segments Get a Lift in 4Q
Mar 05, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- According to the 4Q12 results published in the International Data Corp. (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly WLAN Tracker, the combined consumer and enterprise worldwide wireless local area network (WLAN) market segments experienced year-over-year growth of 18.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012 (4Q12).
According to a release, the enterprise segment continued on its path of solid growth with a 28.5 percent increase over the same period last year. The fourth quarter was the seventh consecutive quarter with annual growth in excess of 20 percent. For the full year 2012, the enterprise WLAN market increased 26.6 percent year over year, the third year in a row of percentage growth in the high twenties. The consumer WLAN market also finished the year on a relative high note and increased 8.2 percent year over year in 4Q12 with the full year 2012 growing at 6.2 percent year over year.
"Rapid growth with bring your own device (BYOD) continues to drive increased WLAN infrastructure rollouts in the enterprise, and is the single largest factor driving increased innovation and differentiation in areas such as security policy and application classification," said Rohit Mehra, Vice President, Network Infrastructure, at IDC. "The second key factor driving growth is the increasing use of Wi-Fi by cellular operators and managed service providers, a trend that is likely to drive increased volumes for enterprise-class access points over the next few years." From a geographic perspective, the enterprise WLAN market performed especially well in Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) where it increased 43.8 percent year over year in 4Q12, as China recovered from a lackluster 3Q12 and increased a very healthy 53.4 percent year over year this quarter. North America and Latin America both were also solid in 4Q12 and increased more than 33 percent year over year. Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Japan were relatively weaker in 4Q12 but still both managed to increase almost 15 percent on an annual basis.
For the full year 2012 the highest growth regions in the enterprise WLAN market were Latin America and Japan, which grew 38.7 percent and 38.6 percent year over year respectively, followed by North America (29.7 percent), EMEA (21.1 percent), and Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) (20.9 percent).
"With almost all regions contributing to continued growth, and strong results from the enterprise, service provider, and consumer segments, the outlook for the overall WLAN market remains very positive, and that is further reinforced from our surveys indicating that enterprise mobility remains high on the priority list of many CIOs," said Petr Jirovsky, senior research analyst, Worldwide Networking Trackers Group.
Enterprise WLAN Vendor Highlights -Cisco's 4Q12 worldwide enterprise WLAN revenue grew a strong 28.1 percent year over year reaching $545 million in the quarter. Cisco's full year 2012 revenues were $1.96 billion, representing a 29.3 percent annual increase, which was slightly ahead of the total market. The North American market accounted for 54.4 percent of Cisco's worldwide enterprise WLAN revenue in 2012. Cisco's worldwide market share stands at 50.7 percent in 4Q12, on par with 4Q11.
-Aruba (excluding its OEM business) grew its revenues 16.4 percent year over year in 4Q12, and now holds 10.6 percent of the enterprise WLAN market. Aruba's full-year 2012 annual growth reached 22.5 percent.
-HP underperformed the overall enterprise WLAN market in 4Q12 with modest growth of 1.2 percent year over year. As a result HP's market share declined from the 6.5 percent recorded in 4Q11 to 5.1 percent this quarter.
-Ruckus continued to outperform the overall market and increased 47.8 percent year over year in 4Q12, even though its quarter-over-quarter growth was a small 0.7 percent. For the full year 2012, its revenue grew 82.7 percent over the previous year.
A graphic showing the top 5 vendors in the worldwide enterprise WLAN market for 4Q12 is available at IDC.com. Instructions on how to embed this graphic into online news articles and social media can be found by viewing this press release on IDC.com.

Sprinting while on cycle
Sprinting while on cycle
I'v been reading and it seems like sprinting can manipulate hormones in such a way that it impacts physiques... i mean look at the physique of sprinters, running backs, and WRs. I wont get into the science because frankly I cant do it justice.
Anyway, I was thinking of sprinting 3 days a week after my lifts and was wondering if anyone else has done this? Whats a good way to start up? Also a concern I have is that I am on cycle, test e and SD atm in a traditional bulk I was wondering how sprinting would impact that
I have a lot more reading to do but wanted to post this up and see if anyone had any experience with it or wants to try it also. - 05-27-2012, 05:15 PM
im not up on the science but cardio capabilities are important to me and sprints are def a part of my routine. a good way to get into sprints is to do 30/60's and move into 60/120's. what i mean by that is sprint as hard as you can for 30 sec and then jog or walk depending on your abilities and for 60 sec. same for 60/120's. this can be applied to the stationary bike as well. good for improving cardio endurance and of course all out sprinting.
another way is to go to a basketball court or tennis court and run the lines. start at the rear line, run to the first, back to the line you started, out to the next, return, and so on. -
also, if youre aim is to bulk youre going to need to add additional cals to your diet to make up for the ones your burn during cardio.
my cardio and sprinting are not done by choice but rather i have to do it or my job performance would be poor lol. but sprints have improved my 2 mile times substantially as well as the ease in which i can perform longer 6+ mile runs. keeps the heart healthy to. as far as improving physique i really couldnt tel you if it has or hasnt. im sure it hasnt hurt and also after a heavy leg day i dont get jello legged as easily or for as long or have the doms kicking my butt.
wether it helps you get what youre looking for appearance wise or not i think cardio should be part of everyones routine if for nothing more than improving health. alot of guys seems to neglect it, i actually hate running but its good for me and a necessary evil for me. -
lil bump for anyone else
I plan to try some sprints out tomorrow (after a warm up so I dont die on the spot) - 05-28-2012, 05:37 AM
I don't see sprints benefiting you in anyway other than overall cardio. You mentioned to look at physiques of sprinters, true but they all weigh 165lbs. So up close in person there still small, and because your currently on gear and bulking I can safely assume that's not your goal. You are correct about sprinting causing hormonal changes that could benefit a physique but you're on gear and already have all of those hormonal changes from gear. I don't see the additional need to run sprints.
Sprints can be very beneficial. I would recomend HIIT, which stands for high intensity interval training(u have probably heard of it)
I "wouldnt" do it after your workout though. its best to separate from workouts. You can either do two-a-days(which i do) and go back to the gym for your cardio later, or only do HITT on one of your off days from lifting.
Also, its best to do at least a couple days apart from "leg" days. ive been doin HITT for awhile, and i still get sore from it.
good luck. - 05-28-2012, 08:18 AM

Students to Rally for Reparations to Pay Black Student Debt – March 3, 2017
February 16, 2017The National African American Reparations Commission (NAARC) is launching a nation-wide initiative to address the large debt that African American and other students of color take on to receive a college education. Given the wealth created for many institutions of higher education based on slavery, slave trading, and the labor of enslaved Africans and African Americans, we are calling upon students at Harvard and other universities to assemble at the Knafel Center, Harvard University, on Friday, March 1, 2017 to demand that reparations in general, and reparations to cover student debt in particular, be addressed at the conference. The ultimate goal is for students of African descent to graduate from these colleges or universities debt free.

A federal court gave California two more years Monday to reduce the population of its overcrowded prisons, yielding to pressure from state officials who said they could meet an impending deadline only by shipping thousands of inmates to other states.
The three-judge court had initially set a June 2013 deadline for the state to lower the inmate population to 37.5 percent above its designed capacity in order to reduce overcrowding that had undermined prison health care.
The court extended the deadline several times. The latest deadline was Feb. 24, but on Monday, the court said it was reluctantly granting Gov. Jerry Brown's request for another two years. The main reason, the court said, was a warning from state officials that they would respond to an order for immediate compliance by transferring more inmates to prisons in other states, joining 8,900 California prisoners already locked up out of state.
That would result in "thousands of prisoners being incarcerated hundreds or thousands of miles from the support of their families" and would consume "hundreds of millions of dollars that could be spent on long-lasting prison reform," the court said.
Monday's order gives the state until Feb. 28, 2016, to reduce the prison population, which now totals 117,500. The court had previously required a reduction to 110,000, but state officials said they have increased the system's capacity by opening a new prison hospital in Stockton, and now can comply by lowering the population to 112,100.
Court's concessions
The court barred further transfers of inmates out of state, but agreed that to meet the new deadline, the state could move some inmates to a private prison in California, and to county jails with available space. The court also accepted several measures proposed by Brown and state lawmakers to reduce the inmate population. They include:
— Increasing good-behavior credits, which shorten sentences, for prisoners in minimum security and for those sentenced for nonviolent "second strike" felonies after a previous serious felony conviction.
— Expanding parole consideration for medically incapacitated prisoners, granting parole eligibility for those 60 and older who have spent at least 25 years in prison, and speeding up parole for those who have already been found suitable for release.
— Appointing a compliance officer who could order the immediate release of inmates if the state failed to meet interim population goals set by the court during the next two years.
The court ruled in 2009 that overcrowding, in prisons that had been packed to nearly twice their intended capacity, was the main cause of shoddy health care that violated the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the population-reduction orders in 2011.
Brown and the Legislature responded by enacting prison realignment, which sentenced lower-level felons to county jails and has reduced the state prison population by about 25,000. The governor has resisted subsequent orders to lower the population further by reducing sentences, arguing that the public would be at risk.
Rehab programs
The governor and legislators said an additional two-year extension would allow time for expanded treatment and rehabilitation programs that would further reduce the prison population, while the state expanded and improved inmate health care. But lawyers for inmates who sued the state over medical care in 2001 opposed the extension and expressed disappointment with Monday's order.
"Prisoners are living under terrible, overcrowded conditions which cause them to suffer and die," said attorney Donald Specter of the nonprofit Prison Law Office. He said the court should have kept the deadline intact even if it meant transferring more inmates out of state.
Brown praised the order. "The state now has the time and resources necessary to help inmates become productive members of society and make our communities safer," the governor said in a statement.

State of Emergency in Black Philadelphia
October 29, 2013IBW Town Hall Meeting to Address State of Emergency in Black Philadelphia
Conveners Seek to Engage Black Professional Organizations
Press Release
Eager to play a more active role in combating the multiple crises plaguing many inner-city neighborhoods, a committee comprised of representatives of African-centered Black professional organizations is convening a Town Hall Meeting, Friday, November 22, 7:00 – 9:30 P.M. at Resurrection Community Methodist Church, 6200 Dicks Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia. The theme for the Town Hall Meeting is – State of the Emergency in Black Philadelphia: Time to Heal Black Families and Communities.
Working in conjunction with the New York-based Institute of the Black World 21st Century (IBW), the Philadelphia Chapters of the National Association of Black Social Workers, Association of Black Psychologists, Black Psychiatrists of America, International Association of Black Professional Firefighters, National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice and Black Administrators in Child Welfare will engage a discussion of additional solutions to the economic underdevelopment, mis-education, neglect, drugs, crime, violence, fratricide and mass incarceration in distressed/marginalized Black neighborhoods. The organizations are affiliated with IBW's Black Family Summit which is convened by Leonard Dunston, President Emeritus, National Association of Black Social Workers.
The Town Hall Meeting will be an opportunity to garner support for a Philadelphia-wide conference on these issues to be convened in March of 2014. A similar conference was held in 2012 but organizers hope to broaden the base by encouraging many more organizations to participate in the planning and implementation. The ultimate goal is to achieve greater cooperation, collaboration and coordination among organizations and agencies engaged in solving the crises afflicting Black neighborhoods.
A stellar panel of local and national speakers has been assembled to share experiences and to offer recommendations to address the crises: Susan L. Taylor, former Editorial Editor, Essence Magazine and Founder, National Cares Mentoring Movement; Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, Host, Our World with Black Enterprise; Dr. Julianne Malveaux, President Emeritus, Bennett College for Women; George Fraser, Chairman/CEO, FraserNet, Inc.; Bilal Qayyum, Presient, The Father's Day Rally Committee, Inc.; Chad Lassiter, President, Black Men at Penn School of Social Work; Dorothy Johnson-Speight, Founder, Mothers in Charge, Inc.; and, Shondell Revell, Deputy Managing Director, City of Philadelphia will share the stage at the Town Hall Meeting. The Rev. Dr. Michael T. Tyson, Pastor of Resurrection Community Methodist Church will serve as Host. Several Black elected officials and community leaders have been invited.
Commenting on the importance of the Town Hall Meeting, Rev. Dr. Tyson remarked: "We think a Town Hall Meeting of this caliber with so many bright minds can be a blessing to the entire City as well as the Southwest Philadelphia community where our Church is located. Hopefully, more people will be encouraged to become actively involved in working together to find solutions to problems."
Lois Hayman-El, President of the Philadelphia Alliance of Black Social Workers, believes the Town Hall Meeting will be an excellent vehicle to enlist the support of community based organizations, leaders and concerned people to organize a productive Conference in March. "We are determined to build stronger bonds of unity and collaboration between Black professional organizations and community based groups on the front lines of the struggle to combat violence and fratricide in our neighborhoods", said Hayman-El.
Bilal Quayyam, who has long worked on these issues, said: "I welcome the opportunity to work more closely with organizations and agencies that can bring additional human and material resources to aid in healing our communities. There is enough work to go around for everybody."
Under the leadership of veteran social and political activist Dr. Ron Daniels, IBW plans to work with leaders in communities across the country to sponsor Town Hall Meetings to address what the organization calls a "State of Emergency in America's Dark Ghettos." The Philadelphia gathering is the first in this series. WURD 900 AM will broadcast the Town Hall Meeting live.

Last month I decided to wash the LX and do an oil change. After washing the car and drying the door jambs, I decided to lift the back of the carpet on the passenger side to check the floor pan to make sure it was dry. This is what I found... As you can see, the carpet was pretty wet and some rust had formed on the rear of the floor pan. I don't really care about the carpet because it is easily replaced, but the rust was definitely a concern. This car is pretty clean and rust free so I was surprised to find this. I did a little experimenting and noticed that water was coming in pretty good when I hosed down the passenger door so I am going to put on some new weather stripping. The bottom looks good so it appeared to just be surface rust. There is only a small amount of rust on the bottom near the seam so I decided to try to save the floor pan instead of having it removed and replaced. The plan was to remove the paint, brush/sand/grind off the rust, cover with POR 15 or something similar, then install a new carpet. I have never done something like this before so I am going to need some help along the way. Here is what I have done so far... First thing to do was remove the paint and get a good look at the rust. OUCH!! It proved to be a little difficult to work with the carpet and interior in the car so everything came out. Before I went any further I wanted the piece of mind of knowing that everything else looked good. This picture shows what appears to be some rust on the front part of the floor but that wiped right off with a towel (I think it was from the e-brake). After a ton of work with a few different types of wire brush and grinding drill bits, I was able to get most of the rust off. I used three different types of wire brush attachments that I bought in a kit at Home Depot. It also came with a sanding bit that worked great but you definitely had to be careful with. For some of the tough parts, I used a couple different grinding bits. If you are going to do a project like this, don't be afraid of the grinding bits, but just be careful. I didn't want to remove the seam sealer, but there was still some rust around it and the sealer didn't appear to be spread too well from the factory and may have contributed to the problem. A note to anyone that may be attempting this or a similar project - the easiest way I found to remove the seam sealer is to carefully pry it off with a flathead screwdriver and then use a wire brush to remove the excess. I tried using the wire brush on the drill first and it just ended up making a mess. This is where I am right now. I need a little help on how to move forward from here. At this point, I coated the area with a light coat of motor oil to keep any of the bare metal from rusting. I will remove with some brake cleaner before continuing. I don't really know what to do with this area here. Should I get some sandpaper and try to get under the seam or will the POR 15 provide enough of a seal to negate further preparation here? You will notice a hole in the top left center. I actually don't know why that this there but there is no rust around it. and the seam sealer around this area was clean. This is what the area looked like before removing the seam sealer. As you can see, it looked pretty good. Also looking for some suggestions on whether or not to do any more prep to this area. This is where probably the worst of the rust was. The area in the top right is looks like it still has some paint on it, but that is probably just the reflection of light from the camera.
I believe POR 15 is the top coat. You want the rust convertor first, it will stop the rust in its tracks. Then put por 15 and seam sealer on top to protect the metal and convertor. Then get all the water stopped.
Something I learned recently. Once you finished with the floors, you can use a smoke machine on the inside to find your leaks. If it is the door seal you can take small diameter rubber hose, almost for vac lines, and stuff it in the rubber stripping where it is leaking. Reinstall it and perform smoke test again. If it still leaks then you need to replace the stripping. If not then that is a pretty cheap fix.
Hey friend, I just came across your thread and remembered that I wanted to share a tool that I use to remove rust, with other guys on here. I'll leave you a link to cross over to look at what I use. Hopefully all the tools that others use to get at rust, will begin to pool into that thread under one umbrella. BTW, looks like the tool I use would work wonders on the rust that you picture. Have fun, my son loves to do rust removal like yours... go figure. I think it's the tools and patience required... http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/rust-removal-tools-that-you-use.871277/
Thanks for the help guys. Anything that anyone else can contribute would be greatly appreciated. Do I need to do any further prep or rust removal before starting paint? 1200gt, those are the wire brushes I used. In addition, I have a slightly smaller one similar to the brush on the drill in your pictures. I also used a couple grinding bits to get some of the tougher areas.

In an effort to settle more than $1 million in debt, the South Jersey Economic Development District will apply for a $650,000 loan from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.
The loan would allow the district to finally pay the contractors who worked on the $7 million infrastructure installation completed last year at the NextGen Aviation Research and Technology Park in Egg Harbor Township.
While the state is willing to provide the loan,the district's four member counties - Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and Salem - must guarantee that they will repay the money should the district not be able to meet its loan obligations, officials said.
SJEDD's board voted to move forward with the formal loan application on Monday night, but all four member counties will now be required to pass interlocal agreements drafted by Atlantic County stating that they will each take on 25 percent of any potential liabilities if the district is not able to repay the loan.
"Under the circumstances, SJEDD certainly doesn't have the collateral to support a loan without the county guarantee requested by the EDA," said Steve O'Connor, the district's interim executive director. "This is all one big settlement to be able to get out of debt as well as be able to turn over the lease from SJEDD to the (NextGen park's board)."
SJEDD fell into significant debt while leading an infrastructure installation at the park. The district's former executive director, Gordon Dahl, exhausted a bank loan intended to pay the contractors and allowed the debt to accumulate. He then improperly used hundreds of thousands of dollars from revolving loan funds to foot some of the bills. Board members said they were never consulted about those decisions.
Dahl said earlier this year the contractors weren't paid due to insufficient work. The board later voted to remove him from the position he held since 1987, and other financial missteps were discovered.
Howard Kyle, chief of staff to Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson, has been working with the state EDA on the potential loan. The EDA is willing to provide a loan that would be paid back over 10 years at a 3-or-4 percent interest rate, he said.
"What's important here is that this brings the district's debt to an extremely manageable level," Kyle said. "The goal is for this to be paid off within the district's existing budget. Once this is settled, you're pretty much out of the woods."
If the loan is approved, it will mark a significant breakthrough in the hurdles facing both the NextGen project and the district.
The $650,000 not only allows contractors to be paid, but will also ensure that the district can close out a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Agency. The agency would not release the remaining $250,000 of the grant until the district fronted the money. It will also allow the district to close out a $320,000 bank loan - a move necessary to end the district's obligations to the project.
SJEDD board member William Morey, also a Cape May County freeholder, stressed that the district would not be taking on any additional debt by taking out the loan. Rather, the loan signifies a restructuring of the district's currently financial obligations, he said.
The Federal Aviation Administration owns the land for the park and leased it to the district. Officials have been stymied for months in attempts to turn over the land lease to the NextGen park's board - a move necessary before development can begin. The district has to close out its remaining grants tied to the project before a transfer can take place, officials said.
This is not the first time the state EDA has offered to help the district pay its debts. In January, Dahl and his attorney turned down an offer from the agency for a loan that also would have allowed the contractors to be paid. However, as a condition of that loan, the EDA would have required that the district transfer the lease - a condition Dahl was not willing to accept at the time.
Dahl's decision to turn down the loan led to heated discussions among officials who said the district was only looking for bailout and was unconcerned about the contractors.
Since that time, the district has made significant strides in revamping its organizational and financial structure. Last week, the district shut down its office at 226 N High St. in Millville and laid off its two full-time employees. The district is in the process of moving into a space provided at no cost by Cumberland County.
A corrective action plan suggested the district could save money by hiring a private company to conduct most of the district's operations. The district will have one internal employee – a project coordinator to monitor funds and identify project ideas.
Applications for the project coordinator position and legal counsel, and a request for proposals for the firm handling operations were both due back last month. However, SJEDD voted Monday to reject the applications received and re-advertise after the federal EDA noted that mandated federal language was missing from the advertisements.
It will take about a month to go through the process a second time, O'Connor said. In the interim, SJEDD's board has opted to extend its temporary arrangement with O'Connor through the beginning of December.

Republican likens contraceptive mandate to Pearl Harbor, 9/11
Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Kelly (R), an ardent opponent of abortion rights, said that today's date would live in infamy alongside those two other historic occasions. Wednesday marked the day on which a controversial new requirement by the Department of Health and Human Services, which requires health insurance companies to cover contraceptive services for women, goes into effect.
"I know in your mind you can think of times when America was attacked. One is December 7th, that's Pearl Harbor day. The other is September 11th, and that's the day of the terrorist attack," Kelly said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. "I want you to remember August the 1st, 2012, the attack on our religious freedom. That is a day that will live in infamy, along with those other dates.

5. To people like him, *everything* is to do with religion - specifically, his
If he wants to justify any of his prejudices, he'll turn to his religion, and he'll feel confident there's something there he can use, even if it means ignoring vast amounts of contradictory information from the same religion (such as quote mining the bible to justify cutting welfare, while ignoring the scores of injunctions in it to help the poor). Then he'll say this shows it to be part of 'natural law', or 'a God-given right', or, as in this case, something that 'freedom of religion' demands he must be allowed to do.

We are getting ready to celebrate my youngest son's and my niece's 3rd birthdays soon (they are two months apart) and since they are both so into super heroes, we thought it would be fun to get them together to do a little super hero session. We got them up really early last Saturday morning with promises of donuts, lollipops and other contraband. They were a little grumpy and a lot whiny, but we managed to get a few gems of them allegedly having a good time 😉
That second to last photo is the face she likes to make to her daddy – I just love it!
And just for fun, their first ever photo together:
P.S. That was my sister's 80's baby shower. We don't always dress like that!

In Reply to: My dairy and acne experience - conincidence or not? posted by irene on November 04, 2000 at 20:42:05:
Even my story started when I began to drink milk more than I used to; I realize now that I'd not have done that.
I won't narrate my whole story because I've done it more than once on this messageboard.
Good luck on your non-dairy trial.
: Hey!
: With all this talk about not drinking milk or eating dairy products, I looked back at my 'acne history'. Whether this is coincidence or not, I do not know. This might seem oversimplified, and I'm not saying that drinking milk is the only reason for my acne.
: I drank milk like any normal child did. In grade 7 til 9 I had moderate acne (mostly LOTS of whiteheads). In any case, looking back, I swear to you guys, starting probably grade 9 all the way to grade 13 (I live in Ontario where we have this extra year) I drank probably one glass of milk a year because I despised the taste. Oh, the rebel was I! heheh...in any case, throughout high school I had great skin, oily, prone to the occasional whitehead, nothing serious. Before I left for university, I had the privelige of working at an ICECREAM parlour! ha! Needless to say, I ate a lot of it. Anyway, beginning that siummer, my face began to get progressively worse. Not only that, when school started, I began to drink 2 glasses of skim milk everyday for fear of osteoporosis, etc... Anyway, all of first year I hid in my room because I had AWFUL skin, cysts and all.
: In any case, recalling all of this, I think I will try to cut dairy completely out of my diet and see what the results are. Again, I'm sure hormones, genetics play a large part in my acne, but you never know. Its' a crazy coincidence isn't it?!

#174 at time of writing.
This film, about an ageing boxing coach who reluctantly agrees to train a relentlessly determined and positive woman, does not end up going in the direction you expect, and is all the more powerful as a result.
Clint Eastwood plays almost the same character as in Gran Torino, which is ranked higher on IMDb, but in my opinion this is the superior film. And the Academy clearly agrees with me, having awarded this the Best Picture Oscar (and three others).
You have to admire Mr Eastwood for continuing to direct and act in such compelling and challenging films despite being older than sin - he was 74 when this was released and he's still going strong almost a decade later.
Even more respect to him for sticking with this difficult story, based on short stories by F.X. Toole, despite the typical narrow minded studio reaction to anything that doesn't fit the formula. Several studios refused to fund Million Dollar Baby until Tom Rosenberg stuck his neck out to provide half of the $30million budget. Box office receipts ended up exceeding $200million.
Hilary Swank puts in a stellar performance that would steal the show, except that Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman live up to their reputations as masters of gravitas while they compete to see who can be the gruffest old man.
A movie that can be hard to watch, but is full of heart.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The last time a team from Indiana State University made this much noise in college basketball, a player by the name of Larry Bird was stroking shots from all over the court. But, Christmas Day, the Sycamores took down the Miami Hurricanes in Honolulu, Hawaii in the Diamond Head Classic, 57-55.
Indiana State's Jake Odum banked in a 15-foot shot with 0.8 seconds left in overtime to seal the victory for the Sycamores, who improved their record to 6-4 on the season.
UM was playing without big man Reggie Johnson and it showed. Miami only outrebounded Indiana State by one in the game, but the Hurricanes' biggest struggle was from behind the 3-point line.
The Canes shot 0-15 from 3-point range against the Sycamores and shot just 8-15 (53 percent) from the free throw line in the second half against Indiana State. The Sycamores shot 17-18 from the free throw line for the game and 6-25 from behind the 3-point line against UM.
For UM, it's a tough loss because some pundits had penciled in the Hurricanes as possibly the second best team in the Atlantic Coast Conference, far behind the Duke Blue Devils. Overall, Miami has an 8-3 record this season, but has bad losses to Indiana State and Florida Gulf Coast University on its resume.
The Hurricanes need a win against LaSalle next Wednesday to regain some momentum heading into ACC Conference play starting January 5 against Georgia Tech. The Duke Blue Devils will make their way to Coral Gables on Wednesday, January 23rd to play the Canes.

International League Jeremy Hellickson, Durham 2-0, 0.00 ERA, 2 G, 2 GS, 15 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 12 K Jeremy Hellickson worked hard for his first win of the week. Pitching against the Pawtucket Red Sox on Monday, the Rays prospect took a perfect game into the seventh inning, when he gave up a leadoff walk. The runner, Tug Hulett, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt, but Hellickson got the next two batters to dribble grounders that would not make it out of the infield. Pitching with a 1-0 lead in the eighth, the 23-year-old allowed a leadoff single, got two fly balls and struck out Bubba Bell to get out of the inning and hand off the game to Tampa Bay closer prospect Winston Abreu, who struck out the side to preserve the one-hit shutout for Hellickson. The righty was only slightly less stingy his next time out. He scattered four hits over seven innings of shutout ball, refusing to issue a free pass, to beat the Rochester Red Wings on Sunday. Hellickson was also the IL Pitcher of the Week for the season's opening week.

Agusan National High School Contingents Kahimunan Festival 2010 Champion
Spectators lined along the street wet and unmindful of the cold to watch and took some pictures every time contingents from Agusan National High School, Libertad National High School, NORMISIST Cabadbaran, Libertad Women's Organization and Butuan City Hall passes by.
Different images of the Sto. Niño. Devotees of the Santo Nino understand Kahimunan as a prayer, a dance. It is an indigenous rite for the living: the actuation of thanksgiving, an offering. A plea for heavenly grace and earthly favors.
Agusan National High School - Champion receiving 200,000 pesos cash prize
Butuan City Hall (Butuan Artist Group)- 1st Prize receiving 150,000 pesos cash
Caraga State University (formerly NORMISIST)-Cabadbaran 2nd Prize Winner receiving 120,000 pesos cash
A 10,000 cash prize were accorded to Libertad Women's Organization and Libertad National High School as consolation prize winners

Julie Corpus Peral originating Butuan.
firstname.lastname@example.com (not good now, she changed)
Back in France, this one lets me know that she is pregnant
I sent him three transfers by Western Union (250,500,1000,
And she laughs after saying that it is not true and it
will go to work abroad, the money came to pay
I will not see nor money, nor the girl!
I'm an idiot, but at forty years, no children, it is easy
God Bless her for what she did!
