The explosion of neo-Gypsy-hybrid music — one that hits Boston twice in the span of eight days in early October — started, you might say, with a cleverly worded flyer spied years ago by Eugene Hütz. As hordes of adventurous music fans from Kiev to Cleveland have learned, this Ukrainian-bred singer/guitarist/songwriter is the leader of the neo-Gypsy scene's first and biggest band, Gogol Bordello, a multi-ethnic, multi-talented group of Brooklyn-based bombers who'll drop their payload at the Roxy on Thursday October 11.
Of course, if Hütz sparked the neo-Gypsy explosion, it had been primed over decades by displaced artists joining their hopes and pride, their sadness and anger, to the creolized culture of the world's greatest immigrant sanctuary, New York City. That includes not only the self-styled "Gypsy punks" in Gogol Bordello but also the wandering Jews at the core of the multi-ethnic Balkan Beat Box. This international musical kibbutz is a far different Gypsy-scene success story, connecting Gypsy-style music to its rich Middle Eastern heritage — as they'll demonstrate when they transmogrify Gypsy punk into Mediterranean funk at Harpers Ferry this Wednesday, October 3.
In a way, though, even this story comes down to that flyer. "I saw a flyer that said 'East Meets East,' " says the thickly accented Hütz over the phone. "It was a Hungarian and Ukrainian musicians' night on the Lower East Side, and some kind of poetry reading along with that. So I just called the number on the flyer and said, 'You gotta get me in, because I'm from the East!' And they were like, 'What the fuck? Did you just fall down from the moon?' "
Not far from it, actually. The 20-year-old budding musician moved to New York from Burlington, Vermont, where he had landed with his family in 1992, six years after they'd fled the Chernobyl disaster. Hütz arrived in New York with little more than his guitar, and he spent his first night sleeping under the boardwalk in Brighton Beach. But on seeing the "East Meets East" flyer, he managed to persuade the phone handler at the club, the Sidewalk Café, to book him for 10 minutes as "the opening for the opening act." There he played music that joined his early love of Parliament-Funkadelic, Queen, and Jimi Hendrix to his grandmother's traditional Roma music and to his devotion to second-generation hardcore punk from Fugazi to the Cro-Mags.
"All the people who were there [at the Sidewalk Café] were from the young Ukrainian community," he explains. "They said, 'Who the fuck are you, man? This is awesome!' "
Over the next decade and a half, Hütz worked that awesomeness to achieve an even more awesome effect. "As far as Eugene's part in this, I definitely think it brought amazing energy," says Balkan Beat Box co-founder Tamir Muskat over the phone from his balcony in Tel Aviv, as the sun sets over a hushed city welcoming Yom Kippur. "It helped all this music kind of come along again and get a new twist. And so I give him a lot of credit for this — but I wouldn't say that anybody invented this, you know what I mean?"

Of course eating at a table with minimal distractions is the best way to eat for your health, but today's busy families often find themselves grabbing and going from one after-school after another and what they're grabbing isn't always the best choice. Save time, money and your health by avoiding so-called fast food restaurants and vending machines and choose to bring your own foods.
Here are some simple steps:
Plan Ahead
1. Know your family and your schedule, then shop accordingly.
2. When grocery shopping, have a separate list and bag for foods that will be eaten on the go. (Think "forkless foods) This becomes your "go to" bag for meals and snacks on the road. Keep handy wipes and a roll of paper towels for easy clean-up.
3. Make a list of healthy items your family likes to eat on the go, add to the list, and refer to it for easy shopping.
4. Include foods from different food groups at each meal to help satisfy hunger, and remember to hydrate. A lot of times we eat when we're really thirsty so remember to keep a drink with you.
Get Everyone Involved
1. With change can come resistance, so include your child in the process by having them select some of the foods on the "to go" list for the week. This will help save you money from having uneaten foods.
2. While you're packing lunches, have your kids pack their after school snack at the same time. Take it a step further by reorganizing your kitchen for kid friendly meals by devoting a section of the fridge and/or pantry for their lunches and snack foods. So they're easy to grab and go when you need them.
Some Items for "foods on the go" can include:
• Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, banana chips)
• Dried veggie chips instead of potato chips.
• Fresh fruit is a true eco-friendly snack, since it comes in its own wrapper and they travel well- oranges, Clementines, grapes, bananas, apples
• Fresh cut veggies- carrots, celery, broccoli, bell pepper strips.
• Snack containers filled with pre-measured whole-wheat cereals or crackers, air-popped popcorn, pretzels.
• Roasted or raw nuts in whole form when possible or nut butters in to-go packets to be used on fresh fruit or veggies.
• Applesauce to-go squeeze packs, breakfast bars or whole ingredient Lara bars
• Reusable water bottles – Fill them up at night and keep in the freezer until the morning. Then leave the water bottle in the car to thaw during the day and be ready for the kids.
• Other beverages include: shelf stable milk, coconut water instead of sports drinks, and low sugar 100% fruit juices.
Set expectations early
Talk to your kids about your plan to eat healthy on the go. "Today, when I pick you up from school, I'm going to give you an apple with sunflower butter to eat on your way to soccer practice. After practice, we're going home to eat dinner at the table."
Get the whole family on board
Healthy eating works best when the adults of the household work together. That doesn't mean that everyone cooks, it means that everyone talks positively about eating healthy, trying new foods, complimenting the cook(s), and having fun in the process.

RIPLEY – A Ripley girl died in a two-vehicle wreck about 8 p.m. Friday on County Road 615, sources said Saturday afternoon.
The girl was identified as Lisa K. Leopard, 12, of 105 Peachwood Drive in Ripley. She was a seventh-grader at Ripley Middle School. Her parents were identified as Simon Leopard, Jr., and Karen Lynn Leopard of Ripley, according to obituary information.
Visitation will be from 5 to 9 p.m. tonight at Ripley Funeral Home. Services will be Sunday at 2 p.m. at the funeral home and burial will be in Antioch Cemetery.
At least one other person was injured in the wreck and two other people refused treatment, sources said. Efforts to learn more information Saturday afternoon were unsuccessful.
Ripley Middle School Principal James Storey said Saturday afternoon that Leopard was "well-liked and a loving person. Our prayers go out to her family."

I ask this at the risk of sounding like a sick, twisted individual who has nothing better to do than to look up the Queen's dress (and I assure you I'm not! :rolleyes: ), but, here goes . . .
Now that all the hullaballoo surrounding the "pantyless" variation of the Theed Amidala figure has cooled off, does anyone know if a "pantied" version was ever actually released? I have yet to see one, and I rarely hear anyone talking about it anymore. Does it exist at all or was it some clever marketing scheme perpetuated by the "rare buy-it-now" scalpers on eBay?

I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I visited my old room at my elementary school this past Tuesday to finish moving and I made sure I stuffed a few bags full of construction paper, white composition paper, and of course tissue paper. I don't feel guilty about doing it since I was in that school for 6 years, it seems we rarely put a dent in the amount of paper in the store room. Besides, the paper will be put to good use.
Toilet paper does sound like a good idea, but what sounds even better is limiting the amount of supply as BCJ stated. Or even better, forget doing arts and crafts since students "aren't tested on it."

Thanks to the Dollar Store, my house now looks like we're a time capsule repository for art supplies with all the clear plastic shoe boxes Mrs. TI bought. Don't really want to get into the Mother of All Ziplock Bags stacked on the living room floor....

Next week is last-before-school-starts. Yay?
The freshmen orientation day was Thu. of this week. Got an email warning us, then another thanking us for letting (as if there was a choice ) them us the rooms and apologizing if things weren't properly put back. I can easily move a desk or chair back, but keep the sticky half-eaten candy and popped balloons off the floor and erase your writing from the board, please. Sigh... :doUntoOthers:

Mrs. TI7 is ramping up for the next school year. Time for me online is at a premium. The house looks like a school supply store exploded in the living room. She gets to dive head first into her class room next Monday to start setting up for her next crop of third graders. Stress levels in the house are rising....
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Today is Mrs. TI7's first day of the new school year with kids. Last week was spent with meetings and setting up her classroom. Last night was the traditional 11th hour chores before the first day.
We live just around the corner from her school and our street was filled with overflow parking with parents taking their kiddies to their first day. My dogs barked for about two hours straight from hearing all the car doors slamming shut (good little watch dogs are they!). All is quiet now.
Here's wishing another good year to my wife (this is year #15 since she changed careers) and her students! Here's hoping all knock it out of the park with Star Testing like last year!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Good for Mrs. Tee Eye.
Being a career changer, how long does she plan on teaching? Most teachers who are hired out of college put 30 years in here in NYS, while career changers all have different benchmarks to reach, depending on the age they hire.
Also, there is an initiative in our area to have Dad's bring their kid to school on the first day of school. This is part of the idea to get father's to take an active part of their child's education. Apparently it has been featured in big cities for the past few years with a lot of participation on the first day.
"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is. But this I am sure of - do their duty the Jedi will." --Yoda from Attack of the Clones.
I like the Dad's initiative. I was extremely active with my son from K-6. Back then, I worked 10 hour shifts and had three days off (I worked week ends then). At least one day a week and frequently three days were spent at school in my son's classroom. We were a lucky family in that his school was also the school site in which my wife works. Because of my weird schedule, I was able to spend time with both of them. Oh, the days of reading groups and cafeteria lunches with Mrs. TI7!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I've got two more weeks of vacation before school starts here in LA. I've been meeting with the journalism class kids since last week, though, so we can have a paper out for the first day of school. When I was asked to teach the journalism class last summer, one of the first things I encouraged the students to do was create an issue of the paper for the first of class. The kids were motivated enough to come in during their vacation and work on it. The same has happened this summer. High school kids often get a reputation for not achieving, well-deserved in many cases, but there are also kids who refuse that distinction and can work wonders when they want to.

I have never been a fan of the guy. I work as a vet tech I will tell you if you don't learn to read animals then you get bit a lot. In the video with the food aggressive lab the only real problem I seen was the cameras. He was worried more about Shooting a show than paying attention to the dog. Asserting dominance is nothing new to any of us I don't think. Cameras have no place When working with animals with these issues. Not because you are trying to hide something but they are a distraction and distractions get you bit.

Amen to that. Millan reminds me of the television evangelists who suck dollars from "the faithful" while providing nothing but empty rhetoric and a lot of b.s. instead of real solutions and guidance. Stick with what is proven to work, no matter if it's Graham or Lardy or Wolters (especially for young dogs and dogs destined to be primarily "family dogs") or whoever it is who possesses the credentials and experience to support their success...and not some camera-loving, self-centered, money-grubbing, grinning wannabe trainer like The Great César.

What isnt there to love about this site???
I would never get through a full work day if it wasnt for Finheaven!!

I think one of the best things is how levelheaded the fans are here after a loss. The loyalty beyond compare. It's so easy to rag on guys when they mess up or don't play well, but you never see that here. Especially with the front office in the coaching staff. The fans here never blame the general manager or the head coach, and always wish them well. You could just tell the maturity and thoughtfulness just how everyone accepted our rookie quarterback and understood there would be ups and downs. I think I'll finish with admiration for these fans! When they put the word loyalty in the dictionary they meant Miami Dolphins fans.
Two things for me. One, since I don't follow teams players, and the game (both college and pro) as well I use to, I gain a great deal of knowldge of players, schems, coaches, etc. The other is the bantering and debate amoung Finhaven posters. I seldom participate in that (due to my limited knowledge), but it is interesting, entertaining, and often amusing. As fans we are so diverse, yet the bottom line is we are all fans (except the occasional troll).
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I should know. I've been there. :tubes:
As a community, we bitch together and celebrate together... That's what I enjoy.
this site has helped me get through so many tough times as a dolphin fan. as we all know, this past decade has pretty much sucked big time. we have had too many terrible seasons, and so many heart breakers being able to come to this site and talk to fin fans after each and every game has made it a lot easier to get over the losses, and through the bad seasons.
all the threads after losses, i am not going to lie, helped me get over many losses with the laughter caused by them, especially all the knee jerk reactions.
all in all, this site has many great posters, many great debates, and is by far the best dolphin fan site throughout the internet. whenever something breaks dolphins related, we have it on this site. all in all, no complaints from me. keep up the great work staff.
the different opinions people share and the debates that go on
Being able to air out your opinion on the team. Granted, that may be the point of a forum to begin with but it really is something special that not very many fans have the luxury to enjoy.
Yeah, the debates can get heated, and of course get out of hand at times, but in the end everyone's a fan of the team and we all want this team to get to the Superbowl and win.
Having a place like this to come to and express your feelings on the team is great whether its after a win or loss.

70% wheat is not what I'd call buckwheat noodles. i accidentally got these instead of the 100% buckwheat what a waste!

awesome soba

I always keep these noodles stocked in my cupboard - they only take a minute or two to cook, and are so much healthier than ramen or egg noodles. The only downside to them is that they will stick together easily, so I sprinkle them with oil immediately after draining them.

I was a little disappointed that these were only 30% buckwheat. When I ordered, there was only a front snapshot of the package, so I couldn't tell. Still trying to find a good source for the 100% Buckwheat soba noodles!
Versatile and easy to cook - and an excellent price.

When you're hungry and tired, don't want to fuss over cooking, need something quick and easy and healthy, that'll fill you up, this is just the ticket! Very nice on its own with a little oil and salt, or with a sauce. I recommend.

You don't have to read an article to see how the President is doing. I don't want to see him on Leno or town hall meetings, I want him to show up for work. He runs the real risk of being a lame duck before his first 100 days are up.
This wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing except it would mean he still has 3 years and 265 days to foul things up worse than they already are and it's becoming clearer by the day that he has the ability to do just that.

Jesse James cheated on Hollywood sweetheart Sandra Bullock, with the icky-looking Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, who has posed for pictures wearing Nazi paraphernalia and has swastika tattoos. We were going to call him guilty by association, until pictures of him came up in which he was hailing Hitler and wearing a Nazi hat. Lovely.
A jackass of the first degree, Mel Gibson is the only one of these celebrities that warrants the title of "definite anti-Semite" rather than "person accused of making anti-Semitic remarks." His 2006 anti-Semitic rant is legendary. While being arrested for a DUI, Mel said things to the arresting officer such as, "Fucking Jews...the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." His controversial film The Passion of the Christ, has also been called anti-Semitic. Mel's anti-Semitic ways have been well documented; back in 1995, he called Winona Ryder, who is Jewish, an "oven dodger." Talk about making yourself a social pariah.

Just because you're a bookworm doesn't mean you're enlightened. Judith Regan was fired from her post as the head of the ReganBooks imprint for HarperCollins, as a result of a telephone rant, in which she allegedly fired off a bunch of anti-Semitic remarks. She reported accused the company of having a "Jewish cabal" against her and said that Jews "should know about ganging up, finding common enemies and telling the big lie." But, Ms. Regan did let Patti Stanger set her up on 'The Millionaire Matchmaker,' so maybe she's come around.
Sheen's show, Two and a Half Men, was pulled from the air indefinitely, as a result of Charlie's substance abuse and personal issues. He is being accused of borderline anti-Semitism because he referred to the show's producer, Chuck Lorre, as "Chaim Levine." Chaim is a Hebrew name but it is not Chuck's - his original name was Charles Michael Levine.
I know, right? I was surprised, too. Apparently, Halle appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno back in 2007, she was remarking on a bunch of different distorted pictures of herself. When she came to one in which her nose was enlarged, she joked, "Here's where I look like my Jewish cousin!" When asked about her comment, Halle said, "What happened was I was backstage before the show and I have three girls who are Jewish who work for me. We were going through pictures to see which ones looked silly, and one of my Jewish friends said [of the big-nose picture], 'That could be your Jewish cousin!' And I guess it was fresh in my mind, and it just came out of my mouth. But I didn't mean to offend anybody. I didn't. I didn't mean any harm. – and after the show I realized it could be seen as offensive, so I asked Jay to take it out, and he did." The remark was obscured by a laugh track.
During a radio interview in September 2010, CNN show host and reporter Rick Sanchez accused Jon Stewart of being a bigot, because he made fun of Rick on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. When asked whether or not Rick thought that Jon was in a similarly oppressed minority, Rick responded, "Yeah, very powerless people. He's such a minority. I mean, you know, please. What—are you kidding? I'm telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart. And to imply that somehow they, the people in this country who are Jewish, are an oppressed minority?" Rick later apologized for being "inartful" but was promptly fired from CNN.
This British musician offended many when he chose to sing the first lyric of the German national anthem, "Deutschland Uber Alles," at a performance in Germany. Apparently, in Germany, the song is taboo because of its Nazi associations. The modern version of the national anthem only uses the third lyric of the original song. The audience reacted to his use of the first line with middle fingers and booing.
'Real Housewives of New Jersey' viewers got a huge jolt when Gia Giudice, star Teresa Giudice's oldest daughter, made an apparently anti-Semitic remark on the first episode of season 2. To her credit, Teresa was saying how she had heard that Jewish men make good husbands, and that Gia should considering marrying one. Gia, who was 9 years old at the time, saying she would never want to marry a Jewish person, and mocked the Hasidic Jews' long, curly hair with a look of disgust in her face. The Giudice family drew strong criticism for Gia's opinion of the Jews. Teresa responded to criticism by saying, "I can't control what my daughter says. Kids say dumb things … what, am I going to be crucified for it?" Probably a poor choice of words, especially given that the Giudice family has already been accused of homophobia, given husband Joe's negative use of the word "gay" in the first season.
I had to add this one today because it just happened (unfortunately). Reportedly, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said that he believes that there is a cabal of Jewish reporters out there and that they're all little girls, perhaps even "homos." Julian said that there was a conspiracy among reporters, led by the Guardian, and named names, including one that was not Jewish. When this was pointed out to him, he said, "Forget the Jewish thing." Brilliant.

Reviews for Swiss Swirl Ice Cream Cake
"I've been making these for years and they are always a big hit! When I first tried it, it was called a 'beehive', and used strawberry jelly rolls. quick and easy to put together, yet it looks so impressive. Remember, the more flavors of ice cream you use, the prettier it becomes."
"Question about the recipe it says two months to freeze the cake how long is that actual time period"
"My son and daughter have both requested this for their birthday cake 2 years in a row. (Sometimes I cheat and only use one flavor of ice cream. No one seems to mind.)"
"Great taste and I will make again. Mine did not turn out as pretty as the picture though."
"So easy yet impressive! I was commissioned to make another one a week after making the first, and I'm switching up the ice cream flavors for a little variety. This is a terrific fun dessert!"

Army wife building a closer connection with husband during deployment
LA CROSSE, Wis. - Nic and Autumn Kletzien haven't seen each other in four months. Not physically, at least. They do get the chance to chat on the computer nearly every day.
"Being able to have that connection and receiving phone calls or being able to Skype with him helps a ton," says Autumn, a finance manager at Reinhart FoodService in La Crosse.
The couple met through mutual friends a couple of years ago, and now they don't exactly have your typical relationship for a couple of newlyweds. The two tied the knot last April at Devil's Lake, but by the end of the year Nic was on his way to Afghanistan with the Army National Guard, and Autumn stayed home in La Crosse.
"I think what's hardest is knowing that he misses a lot," says Autumn, pointing to everyday events like grocery shopping.
This is Nic's third deployment, but the first time he had to leave the side of Autumn and her 6-year-old son Noah.
"It just makes it so much easier just knowing that my best friend is at home and taking care of things," says Nic, a Sergeant First Class in the National Guard.
For their one-year anniversary they enjoyed their usual chat. "Our first anniversary, instead of the traditional couple getting to spend it physically close, we got to spend it over a Skype session," remembers Autumn.
Because Autumn couldn't be with Nic on their special day, she wanted Nic to have something special by his side. She wanted to give him some extra love and warmth to remind him of the one waiting for him to come home.
"Although I'm not a quilt-maker, I had this far-set goal of mine that I was going to make him a quilt," she says.
Autumn hadn't sewn in more than 15 years and had never quilted in her life, but there she was, every night, every weekend, pouring her heart into the fabric to document their journey.
"I think a lot of quilts tell a story. And for the quilt that I made, it really tells our story. And it's a love story," beams Autumn.19815138
Nic knew he was getting a quilt, but had no idea what it would look like. "The stitching is red, white and blue. It's incredible," he says.
"My favorite part of the quilt is probably the yellow ribbons. That was the pattern that I came up with on my own," says Autumn, referring to the hard work she put in to make her own square design. She even found the special camouflage Nic is wearing for this deployment.
"There's the flag patch which is the flag patch he wears on his uniform," she says, pointing to a picture book that documents her work. The main color of the quilt is red, which represents Nic's artillery unit. Red was also one of their wedding colors for the same reason.
Also included in the quilt are Nic's deployment logo, the badges from his uniform, and special patterns, like shooting stars, eagle's wings and a heart pattern.
Nic's favorite part of the quilt is one of the sayings featured on it that reads, "With my whole heart, for my whole life, Mrs. Kletzien."
"I get excited seeing the Mrs. in front of my last name," says Nic.
Autumn is ecstatic at how all her hard work turned out. "Pulling it all together and seeing how it came all together and what each of the pieces signified was really amazing."
Nic's had the quilt for a few weeks now. "I sleep with it every night. It kind of zones me in when I go to bed every night, because it's that constant thing that's there," he says.
He can't see his wife every night, but now Nic can sure feel her warmth, and dream of the day that he and the quilt make it back to La Crosse to start a new chapter with Autumn and Noah by his side. "It's something that we can look back on and remember if we're going through a tough time at home, we've been through tougher," Nic says.
Autumn says Nic is expected to return by the end of 2013, and she and Noah can't wait for their house to be whole again.

What happens when you do not pay attention.. you miss something.
I am not sure how significant it is, and I truly do not stay awake at night thinking of this, but on the 18th of July 2007, this Blog was started.
226 posts and 10854 visitors later, oh and a Podcast that is listened to by one or two folks, this thing might just work.
I enjoy doing the Blog and Podcasts, and it is because of the emails and comments I get that I will keep it going.
So Happy Anniversary to the Scoutmaster minute!

Semi-Newbie Here. Happy New Year!
Nowadays my focus is on keeping a business online and secure. I am in charge of all IT jobs at my business. It's a small business with two physical locations, and my boss is clueless about IT. While I know a bit, at least enough to keep our remote servers and VOIP functional, my knowledge does not go in-depth.
I decided to go deeper into IT Security. Unfortunately I was never able to go to college. I flipped through a Security+ and CISSP book at Borders. I was able to get at least 70% of the questions in the first couple chapters of the Security+ book right, so I thought getting that certification might at least help to establish myself further in the security industry.

Speeding up Your FTP Transfers: Part II
[ Thanks to Nathan Bills, ARSC Network Specialist for contributing this 2 part series. ]
Last time we looked at a simple way of increasing ftp throughput. We saw that if Unix system default settings have small buffer sizes for transmit and receive buffers, this translates to small transmit and receive windows, which results in data sent across a wide area network in unfortunately small chunks. This produces dead time between chunks as the sender waits for acknowledgments back from the receiver.
We used this simple formula,
<window size in bytes>/window * windows/sec = bytes/secto determine what throughput rate we could get over a wide-area network where the windows/sec was calculated with,
1 window / <time it takes, in seconds, to send one window of data>While this is useful for determining how much information can be transmitted based on how many windows can be sent per second, it does not, as one reader pointed out, take into account the bandwidth limitation of the connection. Thus, with our formula above, we could increase the window size to infinity and get basically:
<infinite window size in bytes>/window * windows/sec = infinite bytes/sec.which would be excellent--if we lived in a perfect world. However, we are usually limited by a certain bandwidth like the 100Mbits/sec of a 10/100Base-T connection, or 1Gbits/sec for Gigabit Ethernet, or 155 Mbits/sec for an OC3 ATM link.
How does one include this limitation? As always, our goal is to send as much data as we can as quickly as we can. If we have a 100 Mbits/sec connection, we want to be able to send at that rate, right?. We could try to just shove data across the network at the full 100 Mbits/sec but the link may not be reliable and we might lose some of it. Using TCP to reasonably assure delivery of the data, which many applications like ftp, www, email do, the sender of the data will wait, after it has transferred the data, for the acknowledgment of that first part of the data, before sliding its 'send window' forward to send more data. As we noted last time, this delay in the time it takes for data to be sent and the acknowledgment to come back is the round-trip-time.
We would like to keep the pipe full all the time, but if our TCP window is too small and this round-trip-time is large, then there will be a gap in transmission while the sender waits for the acknowledgment to come back. If we are able to send at the highest data rate the whole time it takes for the initial data to get to the receiver and an acknowledgment to come back, we would get,
bandwidth * round-trip-time = amount of data that can be sent in that round-trip-timewhich would keep the pipe full because the sender gets the acknowledgment back from the receiver just at the time it has reached the end of its send window and moves the window forward to send more data.
For example, if it took five seconds for the acknowledgment come back from a receiver to the sender, and the connection is a 100 Mbits/sec connection, we would be able to send,
100 Mbites/sec * 5 seconds = 500 Mbits or 62.5 Mbytesof data during that time. Note that this is the 'window' of information that can be sent during the five seconds of delay between first data sent and the first acknowledgment received and is what we would try to set for our window or buffer size on the system. This result is called the bandwidth*delay product (pronounced 'bandwidth-delay product' rather than 'bandwidth-times-delay product' :) )
In kerberos ftp, this would mean we would set the buffer sizes to 62.5 Mbytes:
ftp> lbufsize 65536000 ftp> rbufsize 65536000Five seconds is quite a large delay and it is more common to see a delay between 50-200 milliseconds on the Internet. If we have a 100 Mbit/sec connection and the round trip time is 100 milliseconds, or 0.1 seconds, our bandwidth*delay product would be:
100 Mbits/sec * 0.1 seconds = 10 Mbits or 1.25 Mbytesand we would set our window size in ftp accordingly:
ftp> lbufsize 1310720 ftp> rbufsize 1310720to try to send data at the full 100 Mbits/sec, or 12.5 Mbytes/sec. If we could keep that rate going we could transfer a 100-Gbyte file in,
100 Gbytes / (12.5 Mbytes/sec) = 8192 seconds or 2.28 hours.Not bad, eh? Note that our selection of a 1-Mbyte window the last time was close to this size.
This covers the simple aspects of sending data at or almost the full data rate. There are still a lot of other things that could affect your transfer rates such as the communications links between you and the remote end, the effect of data transmission errors on your data rates, system resource issues at either end, the effect of other people's transfers on yours, etc. But this is a good start at speeding up those ftp transfers.

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ There are commands I'd like to issue to ftp, whenever I use [[ it. For instance, "idle 7200" and the lbufsize/rbufsize settings. [[ Can I do this automatically, without typing them at the ftp prompt [[ every single time? # # First, Rich Griswold contributes this Newsletter's first expect script: # You can use an expect script to do this: #!/usr/local/bin/expect -f spawn ftp $argv expect { "Name" { expect_user -re "(.*)\n" send "$expect_out(1,string)\r" exp_continue } "Password:" { stty -echo expect_user -re "(.*)\n" send "$expect_out(1,string)\r" stty echo exp_continue } "ftp>" { send "idle 7200\r" # Add other commands here... } } interact # # Thanks to Jeff McAllister: # The kftp utility can accept a Unix input stream, e.g., "kftp < kftp.script" Thus, in many cases, you can completely eliminate interactive FTP sessions. The script file can contain any commands that you would type in, separated by newlines ("\n"). You should include the FTP command, "prompt," to toggle prompting off. To transfer the files 'test.out.*' to $ARCHIVE_HOST you could create a wrapper script to manage the entire process. In this example, "batch_ftp.ksh" does the following: 1) creates a temporary file, "kftp.script," containing the commands kftp will execute as it reads them from the input stream 2) executes kftp, taking commands from "kftp.script" 3) removes "kftp.scrpt" File: "batch_ftp.ksh": ---------------------- #!/bin/ksh echo "open $ARCHIVE_HOST" > kftp.script echo "" >> kftp.script echo "lbufsize 1000000" >> kftp.script echo "rbufsize 1000000" >> kftp.script echo "binary" >> kftp.script echo "prompt" >> kftp.script echo "cd $ARCHIVE" >> kftp.script echo "mput test.out.*" >> kftp.script echo "quit" >> kftp.script kftp < kftp.script > /dev/null 2&>1 rm kftp.script ---------------------- This example assumes that the environment variables exist. $ARCHIVE_HOST is the name of the remote host. $ARCHIVE is the path to the destination directory on the remote host. ($ARCHIVE and $ARCHIVE_HOST are part of a common set of environment variables, now available on all ARSC systems, designed to standardize our storage environment. We recommend using these environment variables to "hide" the details of the specific storage setup on each machine. Thus scripts can be moved between machines with less work.) # # And finally, the editor's solution... # FTP's built-in auto-login process will do the trick. In your $HOME/.netrc file, specify each machine you ftp with, your login, but NO passwords (passwords should never be stored in files, on sticky notes, etc., for obvious reasons). Then, for each machine separately, use "macdef" to define an "init" macro--and other macros, if you wish. For example: CHILKOOT$ CHILKOOT$ cat $HOME/.netrc machine rimegate.arsc.edu login arscfrb macdef init idle 7200 rbufsize 1000000 lbufsize 1000000 macdef cdt cd /scratch/arscfrb pwd ls machine klondike.arsc.edu login fred macdef init idle 7200 rbufsize 1000000 lbufsize 1000000 macdef cdt cd /tmp/fred pwd ls CHILKOOT$ CHILKOOT$ # Here's a test. Note that "init" is executed automatically, and that # other FTP macros are executed with the command "$": CHILKOOT$ ftp klondike Connected to klondike.arsc.edu. 220 klondike FTP server (Version 5.60) ready. 334 Using authentication type GSSAPI; ADAT must follow GSSAPI accepted as authentication type GSSAPI authentication succeeded 232 GSSAPI user email@example.com is authorized as fred idle 7200 200 Maximum IDLE time set to 7200 seconds rbufsize 1000000 200 TCP buffer size set to 1000000 bytes lbufsize 1000000 Set local TCP buffer size to 1000000 bytes Remote system type is UNIX.

I'm editing a text file, each line starts with a version number followed by a space and then a word. E.g., ... 33 jade 33.8.2 jasper 10 javelin 7.1 javelina 22 juniper ... Can I move the version numbers to the ends of the lines? Like this: ... jade 33 jasper 33.8.2 javelin 10 javelina 7.1 juniper 22 ... Thought I was getting good at vi regexp's, but this is a stumper! If it's impossible in vi, maybe there's another way.

Kansas 2013 spring turkey hunting trip. Short version one jake and a good time hunting with a good friend. Long, long winded version see below.
After driving 9 hours from Minneapolis to southern Kansas, with 8 of those hours being in the rain, I arrived at the WIHA a buddy and I planned on hunting. I spent an hour or so driving around the WIHA lands trying to see what hand I was dealt and trying to roost and turkeys to no luck. Thursday morning I got out to some WIHA land and hunted a few locations with no luck and after a few hours I decided to move to another location. After driving the WIHA land again I decided to start hunting an area I thought looked good from Google Earth so as I was moving along the edge of the field I spotted some turkeys around the bend working my way. I got done and watched them to see if they were hens/jakes or toms. After realizing they were coming my way I got down got my gun up and saw 6 jakes come around the corner at 25 yards. I figured what the heck I have 2 tags and once one jake cleared the group I dropped him. The other 5 jakes stood around for 5 minutes trying to figure out what happened and I could have easily dropped another one but that last tag was now designated for a mature gobbler. After taking some in the field photos with the jake I saw a black object moving around in the picked cornfield. I slowly made my way towards the object hugging the tree line until I got about 50 yards away and realized it was a raccoon. I spent the rest of the day set up on the edge of a field trying to catch some toms on the way to the roost when I heard one on the other side of the creek from me so I decided to back track and get closer to him. Or course as I do this he is coming in the direction I was originally set up in but I did see him enter the trees near roosting time at the corner of public land. Friday morning we get out to the spot where I roosted the tom from the day before and my buddy bumps a hen on the way in. We must have been about 10 minutes to late as she scatters and takes the rest with her. Friday night I roosted some toms from my spot on a road but they were on private land. Saturday morning I set up about 30 yards South of the public-private land boundary along a single row of trees thinking if I could get one of those 2-4 gobbling toms interested I could get them to come my way across the land boundary. Of course the time I think they are getting closer a rancher comes by with his tractor and scares them off.
I then go check out another spot and see a strutter and two hens in a picked corn field flanked by woods that make a triangular shape with the smallest end being where I started and opening up as I head southwest. So I set up facing Southwest against a good sized tree and start doing some calling. About 5 minutes later a hen starts clucking at me off to my left at 15 yards and behind me I hear some footsteps in the leaves but he/she never appears and after I try to stand and peak around the corner slowly nothing is there. So I start working my way around the field edge and I bust about 5-8 turkeys laying down in the grass and they start taking off so I decided quickly to run after them trying to break them up and hopefully call them back. After 30 minutes of calling nothing was going on so I go for lunch but I planned on coming back later that afternoon.
I get back about 3:30 and get set up about 75 yards from a good trail between two pine trees that make a great natural blind and start calling with my box call about every 20 minutes or so. About 5:30 I hear a gobble so I let him wait about 5 minutes then give him some more yelps and he hammers back in what I think is from the other side of the pine tree. So gun is up and ready to go and ready for him to walk out from that pine tree then…nothing happens. I start to slowly start to look around and see that there are two good toms right where the trail that I walked in at 75 yards away. So I try to give them some soft yelps and purring. One starts heading my way until the second one turns and walks away leading the other one with him. Those were two very good looking toms as they were strutting and gobbling from 75 yards with their cream colored fan ends in the dimming sunlight. So I buzz around to try and do some roosting and as I stop by the place I started that night a gobbler hammers back at me after I use my crow call. I drive slowly out trying to see him from the road and sure enough there he is 25 feet from the road and 20 feet up. He was lucky it is illegal to shoot roosted turkeys in Kansas or he was dead.
No problem I thought my buddy and I will set up in that small field the next morning. I tell my buddy that if that tom starts towards him to shoot him and not try to save him for me…he just smiles and said "You had your chance and if I do he is dead." So we get there plenty early and figured that there was 3 ways for that gobbler to go and 2 of them he would die. He landed about 110 yards from me and followed a hen as they take the safe option and head across the road to private land.
All in all it was a good trip and I was happy to harvest a jake the first day. However I am disappointed that, in my opinion, two mistakes were key in me failing to harvest one of those gobblers Saturday evening. I think one mistake was my set up location as I should have been closer to the trail as in my experience turkeys will take the trails as it is easier for them and secondly in the corner of a field I should have been using decoys, possibly a couple of feeding hens and jake, as they were looking for the hen that they heard.
Once again picked cornfields in Kansas is where were we saw the most birds and secondly make sure to look at Google Earth WIHA maps good before you get there because sometimes the land that is enrolled in WIHA is nothing more than pasture land with no trees at all. I would recommend Kansas as a spot for nonresident hunters as the WIHA maps are very user friendly and the people I have come across in Kansas are very nice and friendly.
I will add photos from the trip as I get them downloaded.

Noise got to be worse so as the owner was taking the pup thru the program all marks for a period of time were surprise marks..meaning as the dog and owner came around the side of the truck towards the line as soon as the dog saw the thrower they threw the bumper(dog doesn't have time to anticipate the retrieve)
Noise went away when we did that...(took his mind out of the trained response, see bumper make noise)
If the dog had a genetic noise problem he would have barked anytime he was sent to retrieve or as soon as he saw the gunner but he didn't, so I went back to the original thought that the pup was running the show which is a real easy fix..to be continued...

Interesting thread. I want more!!!!
I agree with Darrin, absolutely nothing if there is noise-a small whine counts as noise. If I can hear it and it came from his mouth, everything stops and we go back to square one of whatever we were dealing with.
I had a lot of fun with this around my property when he was a teenager-he would give me this horrible, loud bark to get me to hurry up and I would instantly turn around and go inside shutting the door in his face. I still do it in regards to my back yard or gates to pastures etc, if he's behind a gate and I start walking towards it-if he barks, I turn and go the other direction. Usually by the third repetition, he is quiet even if the others are barking. Just cracks me up. It's way too late to stop my shelties from barking, and they don't do field work anyway-but that little lab better be quiet or he's not getting ANYTHING from me.
You guys need to get Goldens - end of story!!!

Post# 1: " I bought into a litter .....knowing that some would have noise issues"
Based on your above statements is this pup "genetically noisy" or "just noisy"????
You state that you thought you may have problems with noise, based on the lineage.
Then when you find that you have noise and do a diagnoses. You find it is NOT do to lineage.
Was it do to training or lack of? Or technics?
This is NOT a wise arz$ question.
I have a pup (7 mos.) that is the most vocal pup I have ever owned (I've owned dozens). However she is vocal everywhere EXCEPT when working.
Her pedigree "suggests" (Cosmo) that she maybe somewhat vocal.
Thank you, Randy
May you pin all the marks and line the blinds
RND there were 8 in the litter and I get to see 5 almost everyday of my life...interesting how the 2 males with me full time act alike and the 2 females that I actually own act alike BUT the boys and girls are worlds apart. The one other male(on this thread) is totally different than all the rest so far. The pups are all crazy to retrieve but sensitive, combination I don't get to see alot. The hardest dogs I ever had to fix for noise were Runnin With The Devil and Chavez dogs..WOW WOW WOW..The overall approach was a combination of watching the littermates......more to come

7 DoubleHeaders
Four or five years ago I wrote a story and posted it here, but it got lost in the accidental purge.
Sherri and I have been blessed to meet and befriend some legendary field trialers. Our beloved Terri Veach introduced us to Joe Pilar. And Joe introduced us to one of the loves of our lives -- Cai Trzepacz. Cai is one of the dearest and sweetest ladies you would ever want to meet. Cai is the widow of John Trzepacz, who owned the great Corky before selling him to Mike Flannery.
That afternoon I met Cai I asked a million questions about Corky, and she did her best to answer. She also showed me hundreds of pictures not just of Corky, but also of John and their dogs before and after Corky. She allowed me to scan my choice of the pictures, and all the print articles. But my greatest gift was a film of Corky as a puppy arriving at their home for the first day, and John giving him a bath with a hose in their backyard. Then the film watches him as he grows and shows him working. I converted the film to DVD for Cai and she graciously allowed me to keep a copy.
Anyway, here are the scans of some of the pictures --

By Tiernan Ray
Kevin Landis, chief executive of the Firsthand Technology Value Fund (SVVC), was in town today to meet with shareholders and was kind enough to spend a few minutes chatting about a variety of topics in technology.
Over on the Focus on Funds blog, I discuss Landis's views on Facebook (FB), while the following covers a much broader set of themes.
Landis was enthusiastic about the fund's investment in startup TapAd, based in New York City and serving the advertising world, down on Madison Avenue and 27th. The company had a roughly $3 million Series B round last year in which Firsthand took part.
This whole digital ad space is really exploding. Real-time bidding on ads is big. They are very good at multi-screen ad placement. They can see through cookies and other data, without using single sign-on, when you might have been looking at one thing on a site on your desktop at your office, and then walk out the door and you are now on a tablet. They are the ones who actually do the higher math to make this kind of guesswork and inference possible.
Another startup he likes is Turn, based in Redwood City, California, which just had an $80 million investment round, of which Firsthand put in $15 million. Fidelity and BlackRock were in the round as well. Says Landis, "they look at it as next year's big thing, which they need to get a position in now so that they can carry it in their indices when it comes public."
They're complimentary to TapAd, but further along. They have big clients who are the trading desks of the big ad firms. They are sort of like high frequency trading for online ads. There are ad buyers in the market who sometimes will make bids on all the online ads across multiple properties. Some even bid and then later walk away from an ad buy, just so they have all their bases covered. It is its own world, a world of non-human decision making in advertising. Turn is pretty close to an IPO. They say this is their last round [of funding], though we know everyone always says that. We got in for $8.34 per share. It was a good price for a late-stage deal. It was a fraction of what's been paid for investments in comparables such as Rocket Fuel and Criteo.
Turn became Ebitda-positive in Q4, Landis observes. (Landis clarifies that Turn's own customers do not walk away from bids, but it is a practice that other ad buyers will conduct in the market.)
Another investment, just this week, is startup Phunware, which is helping customers to build multi-screen apps, such as NBC's app for the recent winter Olympics. It's working with other big media names, too, such as the WWE. Firsthand put in $10 million of a $30 million Series E round, and was the biggest investor.
Phunware's intention over time is to move from making inidivudal apps for customers to becoming more of a tools licensor. Right now, the tools for building cloud-based, mobile applications is filled with a lot of "point solutions," says Landis. Phunware itself has focused on some specialties that are a "sweet spot" for the company, such as helping customers embed "geofencing" in their apps — the ability to have certain actions performed if, say, a person enters your store.
While lots of code bases can provide geofencing, including Apple's (AAPL) iOS, "Location is just one thing, the question is what do you do with that information? That's what they can help you figure out, how to use it effectively."
The company is working with Cisco Systems (CSCO), which was a co-investor in this latest round, and Phunware's code is integrated with Cisco firmware.
The appeal of some of these startups is that unlike musty old tech, they are growing like weeds. "They could probably grow 40% next year because their market is growing so fast," Landis says of Turn.
"The scarce commodity these days is growth; Everyone is out looking for growth."
Landis also reflected on last week's South By Southwest show in Austin, Texas, where he went for the first time ever. "The sign the show has peaked is that I was finally there!" he jokes.
Landis went with the express intention of looking over the action in wearable technology, given that he has a $10 million investment in fitness band maker Jawbone. His cost bassi was $4.75 a year ago, and after another recent round of funding, bringing Jawbone's valuation to probably about $3 billion, his investment has risen to perhaps $11 or so.
"It's nice to let other people mark up your positions!" he quips.
Regarding a Jawbone IPO, "It wouldn't surprise me if it was sometime in next year." Landis's take on the wearables from what he saw at SXSW is that "It's still early with wearable tech, which I was glad to see, because it allows me to be a little more patient" as an investor.
Landis thinks Jawbone is in a relatively good position in the swelling field, given they have a stronger intellectual property portfolio than many firms. Glancing down at the "UP24" band he was wearing, from Jawbone, Landis notes that the device has finally incorporated a bluetooth radio. He says he uses his iPhone to check the band each day to either see if he's made his quota of steps, and either congratulate himself, or go out for a walk to close the gap.
I asked Landis if Jawbone or any other wearables company can actually be a really big company someday.
They can be a very lage company some day, I think. There are so many other things you can do in this area. People are working really hard on the heat rate problem, but then comes blood pressure monitoring, and after that, the Holy Grail is blood sugar monitoring. There is a magic zone with your blood sugar, because it is not good if it's way too high or way too low. Once you can directly measure that, people might are going to get much more effective at dieting. Instead of trying to figure out how many calories you've burned, this will just tell you whether you are in the right zone. Any measure of the potential market leads leads you to conclude the market is huge. Just look at either the potential attach rate to one billion smartphones sold every year, or the Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers market. Those are big numbers. Either way, this is plenty big –
Landis also opines that "Jawbone could defend itself against a competitive Google product."
Lastly, Landis was enthusiastic about some investments in emerging areas of technology. On the topic of "smart motors," he made a $6 investment last year in startup Wrightspeed, of San Jose, California, which is developing a smarter drive train for automobiles. The company was founded by Ian Wright, who was employee number three at Tesla (TSLA), before Elon Musk even came to that company.
The neat thing is he just wants to make a drive train, not the whole vehicle. He has found a market where people drive the heck out of their vehicles. Look at people who own large fleets of trucks, and you see they will experiment with all kinds of power plants [renewable, electric, etc.] The company is still in development stage, but you can easily guess who is interested in this. Everyone has figured out the problem of how to do regeneration of power through the breaks. But there are these medium-size trucks that start and stop constantly, and there is a lot of regenerative energy that needs to be recaptured there. The garbage truck is a great example.
Another emerging area is in semiconductor equipment. There, he made an investment in Fremont, California-based Pivotal Systems, which is selling "mass flow controllers," devices inside chip manufacturing equipment that has to calibrate the amount of gas to be injected into a "chamber" when the silicon wafer is going through various manufacturing stages.
Controlling the materials in a chamber is a very tricky business. The computer has to send a message to the mass flow controller about how much gas to send into the chamber. There are dozens of these in each piece of equipment. The idea they have focused on is how to make them cheaper. Every time the semi industry goes through a process-step change, they have to swap out the old way of doing the flow controller. This is applicable for multiple stages of manufacturing — for etch, for deposition, etc. It's really going to become important past the current process node, when they get to 10 nano.
Landis ended with a thought about the chip equipment market, and why he's long Lam Research (LRCX). Lam, opines Landis, is set to take market share from Applied Materials (AMAT), as the latter proceeds through a $29 billion merger with Japan's Tokyo Electron announced back in September.
"It's just a mess," says Landis of the merger process. "It is filled with all kinds of politics, and people looking out for their jobs."
"You know, when these big companies merge, people say it's like two dinosaurs mating, or two drunks mating. I think this one is looking like two drunk dinosaurs mating."

I finally have the time and hard drive space to recover from my dual hard drive failure that happened over a year ago. Laptop hard drive and external backup died at about the same time (the laptop then died shortly after). What i've discovered is that many of my zip files that I did backup are corrupted and I have lost several files because of it. So just as a suggestion to others. Back up your unzipped files. I wish I would have.
on a happier note. I am very close to getting done and will have a much better backup setup in place.
Then I can really Scrap!

Yes I have backblaze and love it. I have a 1TB hard drive and 4 EHD's and it will back them all up! So I backup my backups! It's great insurance for $5 a month.

Mozy won't work for me quite yet since I'm currently sorting over 4T (yep T not Gb) of files. I can't imagine trying to back up all that off 8 external hard drives (with currently slow internet). I've been collecting for years. I'm trying to dejunk now. I've got more duplicates I think than originals! lol. But I think I got it figured out on how to tackle it. I had thought at the time that backing up zips was the way to go and save space. But it's easier to loose a few regular corrupted files than to loose a whole kit due to a corrupt zip.

Talk focuses on Pakistan and democracy, Sept. 20
Posted September 13, 2007; 05:36 p.m.
Ayesha Siddiqa, an analyst of Pakistan's military and security affairs, will present a talk titled "Can Pakistan Become a Democracy?" at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Siddiqa, an independent security analyst, has worked on issues such as defense decision-making, nuclear deterrence, arms production and civil-military relations in South Asia. She also was director of naval research with the Pakistan Navy, making her the first civilian and woman to serve in that role.
In addition to being a frequent contributor to international journals, Siddiqa is the author of the new book "Military Inc.: Inside Pakistan's Military Economy," in which she analyzes the Pakistani military's vast commercial interests and their effect on the political and economic development of the country.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Institute for the Transregional Study of the Contemporary Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia.
