The challenge, Cuomo described after his meetings, is that some write off New York as a place that can make do on its own. With a tragedy like Sandy, which caused billions of dollars in damage to his state alone, even a place like New York could use some assistance.
"We need help on this. These are big, big numbers," Cuomo told reporters, echoing what he had told lawmakers whose blessing he needed to receive the aide on behalf of his state. "We can't do this on our budget alone. As a government, we can't ask the people of New York to figure it out, because they can't. You have people whose lives have been turned upside down and they don't have the resources to make this situation right on its own."
A convincing argument, however, doesn't always get you very far in Washington. Some Republicans say that in order for states to receive aid, offsetting cuts in the federal budget must be made elsewhere, which was a primary reason Cuomo took time to meet with Republican House Speaker John Boehner.
"The Speaker is committed to making this work," said New York Rep. Peter King, a Republican who joined Cuomo during the meeting with Boehner. "To do what has to be done."
Without revealing specific details, Cuomo described the meeting with Boehner as "positive," and that the Speaker is waiting from a proposal from the White House before taking more steps on the plan.
"We're trying to cooperate--collaborate our politics, if you will," Cuomo said of working with Republicans.
Cuomo 2016 sounds good to me
yeah Rocket. I'm voting for who you're voting for.
Then you'll be voting for Cuomo
You are a prophet

DRC: ERC Amos emphasises need for reform and international support
ERC Amos has ended her two-day visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) after visiting two areas of the country heavily affected by conflict and violence: North Kivu and Orientale Province.
"Today I was appalled by the testimonies I heard," said Ms. Amos in a press statement from Dungu in northern DRC on 10 March 2011. She met victims of violent atrocities committed by the Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). In conflict areas, people live at the mercy of armed groups, and the number of people displaced by conflict is among the world's highest.
Ms. Amos emphasised the necessity of reform in the security and justice systems to better protect civilians. She urged the government to strengthen its presence in the area and UN Member States to provide significantly more resources to the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO).
However, the suffering of people in the DRC is not only conflict-related. "Even in relatively stable areas not affected by conflict, people are suffering due to endemic poverty and a lack of opportunities," said Ms. Amos in a press release at the end of her trip. Economic distress and the spread of cholera and other diseases have made the DRC's humanitarian situation one of the most enduring in the world. The UN and its partners have requested funding through the Humanitarian Action Plan (HAP) for 2011, which was only 63 per cent funded in 2010.
"Continued generous donor support is essential," said Ms. Amos. "People in the DRC want what millions of people around the world already have: Peace. Security. Stability. We are trying to help people survive. As other crises emerge around the world, we must make sure that the people of the DRC are not forgotten."

Hi All!
Sometime ago "officialfuel" asked me as a fellow biker to post some pictures of my motorcycles: Here is one for you; my faithful 1972 Norton 750 Commando. It is rare because it is still fitted with the infamous and notorious, high performance "Combat" engine, that was only fitted by the factory during early to mid 72 before being hastily discontinued. The last picture is one of my scale models; a 1969 "Fastback" 750 Norton Commando, a real one of which I owned (in glorious red, not green), back in the mid-70's.
"official fuel"...I have always lusted over owning a Harley, but have always stuck with "Brit Iron" because the cost of Harleys over here was always way too high. You never know.............one day! ;)

Wineke: The wisdom of Barack Obama
C3K columnist looks at the progress of America's current president
I confess that, back in 2008, it did seem for a moment as if happy days were here again.
Barack Obama had just been elected president, the first African-American president in the nation's history. It was tempting to believe the nation's racist history had been, if not erased, at least modified.
And it did seem possible that the nation's and the world's economic crisis was so grave that the new president might even be able to enlist the energies of the Republicans in Congress to help alleviate it.
Well, that was kind of naïve, wasn't it?
The Republicans in Congress made an immediate decision to block every single program the new president might propose. It turned out to be a pretty good decision; they ended up taking power two years later, and Republicans took full power in any number of states, including Wisconsin.
One of the things these states started doing was to restrict voting rights in ways that made it increasingly difficult for minorities to actually cast ballots. If you lived in a black neighborhood in Ohio or Florida, for example, you might expect to wait in lines for hours to vote.
In the meantime, the liberals decided to blame their reverses on Obama. He chose to go for universal health care rather than jobs. He didn't stand up sufficiently to the right wing. He was too willing to back the military in Afghanistan – or too unwilling to intervene in Libya and, later, Syria.
This spring, the mania of both right and left seemed close to panic when Congress started investigating the IRS.
Through it all, the president seemed to just glide along, doing his thing, keeping his cool, sometimes even laughing at his own failures.
And, even as his detractors on both right and left kept pulling their hair and predicting imminent doom, things seemed to keep working out, not perfectly, but consistently.
The great recession did not turn into a great depressing. The American automobile industry rebounded. Health care legislation passed Congress and most of it is now actually working, a fact that saves me, personally, a couple hundred dollars a month on the insulin I need to treat my diabetes.
Obama is not the savior we thought we needed. He is a human being who turns out to be a pretty effective leader in the long run.
I think it comes from his experience as a community organizer.
I have a tiny bit of experience in this area and what I've learned is that any change you want to make will be met with resistance. If there isn't any backlash, then the change is probably not important. Sometimes, you take two steps forward and one back – sometimes you take one step forward and two back.
But if you keep your eye on the goal you are seeking, there's a good chance that you will end up closer to that goal than if you never started.
Does anyone even remember the "scandals" that seemingly engulfed the president earlier this year? Turns out, there never were any scandals, just some fallible bureaucrats who made some mistakes.
In the meantime, we are several steps closer to 30 million Americans getting health insurance that may keep some of them alive and save many of them from bankruptcy.
Actually, not a bad achievement for a mere mortal.

Sarcoidosis is a disease in which inflammation occurs in the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, eyes, skin, or other tissues.
The exact cause of sarcoidosis is unknown. What is known is that when a person has the disease, tiny clumps of abnormal tissue (granulomas) form in certain organs of the body. Granulomas are clusters of immune cells.
The disease can affect almost any organ of the body. It most commonly affects the lungs.
Doctors think that with sarcoidosis, persons have genes that make it easy for them to develop the disease. Things that may trigger the disease include infections with bacteria or viruses. Contact with dust or chemicals may also be triggers.
The disease is more common in African-Americans and Caucasians of Scandinavian heritage. More women than men have the disease.
The disease often begins between ages 20 and 40. Sarcoidosis is rare in young children.
A person with a close blood relative who has sarcoidosis is nearly five times as likely to develop the condition.
There may be no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they can involve almost any body part or organ system.
Almost all patients have lung or chest symptoms:
Symptoms of general discomfort:
Skin symptoms:
Nervous system symptoms may include:
Eye symptoms include:
Other symptoms of this disease:
A physical exam may show the following:
Often the disease is found in patients with visible physical signs who have an abnormal chest x-ray.
Different imaging tests may help diagnose sarcoidosis:
To diagnose this condition, a biopsy is needed. Biopsy of the lung using bronchoscopy is usually done. Biopsies of other body tissues may also be done.
The following lab tests may be done:
Sarcoidosis symptoms will often get better without treatment.
If the eyes, heart, nervous system, or lungs are affected, corticosteroid medicine is usually prescribed. this medicine may need to be taken for 1 to 2 years.
Medicines that suppress the immune system (immunosuppressive medicines) are sometimes also needed.
Many people with sarcoidosis are not seriously ill, and they get better without treatment. Up to half of all persons with the disease get better in 3 years without treatment. Persons whose lungs are affected may develop lung damage.
Overall death rate from sarcoidosis is less than 5%. Causes of death include:

This is the second of two parts. See "Pittsburgh School Principal Taken Prisoner by 'Gray Ghost'" from Aug. 18.
Pittsburgh principal James B.D. Meeds had quite a story to tell his students at South Ward School when he returned from summer vacation in 1863. Meeds had found himself a prisoner of Confederate Col. John Singleton Mosby while on a mercy mission for the U.S. Christian Commission.
Captured along with 29 other Northern wagon teams on the night of July 30, he described his experiences in a letter published in The Daily Pittsburgh Gazette. Meeds was a member of a Christian Commission crew bringing religious texts, stationery and personal-care products to federal soldiers stationed near Warrenton, Va. His letter appeared in the newspaper on Aug. 11.
Mosby, known as the "Gray Ghost," and his soldiers caught the Union men literally napping outside Fairfax, Va. He ordered them in the dead of the night to harness their horses and accompany him into rebel territory near Aldie, Va.
In a letter dated Aug. 5 and originally sent to Joseph Albree, the treasurer of the U.S. Christian Commission, Meeds described what happened as he and his fellow captives approached the rebel base.
"Mosby's men were discovered by [Union] Lieut. Manning, who with 20 men, had been out skirmishing," Meeds wrote. "The band that surprised and captured us numbered about 40 men."
Despite being outnumbered 2-to-1, the Union troopers attacked "spiritedly," but they soon were forced to withdraw. Pursued to the top of a nearby hill, they were besieged by rebel cavalrymen, giving "their demonic yells."
The tide turned when Union reinforcements arrived. "Col. Lowell, with a body of cavalry, who had been out all night in search of Mosby and his men, hearing the firing, hastened to the spot," Meeds wrote. When the rebels realized that they were now the underdogs, "they beat a hasty retreat and we were safe."
After getting a few hours rest, Meeds and his companions traveled with armed escorts back into territory under federal control. The next day the Christian Commission's wagon joined a convoy with 37 other wagons. The supply train was escorted by 600 soldiers to the Army of the Potomac's general headquarters.
"I am in the Station office, attending to things generally -- supplying the soldiers with reading matter, writing paper, house-wives, &c," Meeds wrote. "Nothing seems to please the soldiers more than the little house-wife." No scandal here. A "house-wife," he explained, "is a little bag filled with needles, thread, buttons, &c."
"As many as twenty [soldiers] have been around the tent at once, begging for a little thread to mend their clothes," Meeds reported. "We have had to deny many, as we have but a short supply. If we had a thousand, they would soon go."
The Confederates left something else behind when they fled from the U.S. Cavalry. "One of the guerillas came to our wagon and handed us a sack, saying, Christian Commission, take care of that for me."
"We opened the bag and found it to contain 20 cans of peaches, 6 of oysters and 2 of catsup," he wrote. "These we considered contraband and appropriated them to our own use."
Meeds went on to have a post-war career in finance as a founder and officer of Dollar Savings Bank. He and his family lived for many years in Oakmont in a house that still stands at 520 Seventh St. He died in 1896 and is buried in Homewood Cemetery.civilwar - pittsburgh250eyewitness

Deeplinks Blog posts about Mandatory Data Retention
Today, Mexico's newest data retention law entered into force. The Mexican telecom law compels telecom providers to retain, for two years, the details of who communicates with whom, for how long, and from where. It also allows the authorities access to these details without a court order, exposing geolocation information that reveals the physical whereabouts of Mexicans.
The Australian government announced new anti-terrorism measures this week, in response to the alleged involvement of Australian citizens with extremist groups in countries including Syria and Iraq.
Update: As predicted, DRIP has already become law: it received royal assent on Thursday July 17, 2014.
The UK government is currently forcing through Parliament a wide-ranging set of changes to that country's digital surveillance and data retention law. The pace of the progression of the new amendments, called the Digital Retention and Investigatory Powers Bill (or "DRIP") has been astounding. Introduced without warning last Friday, if not opposed by peers in Britain's House of Lords, it looks like it may become law within the week.
Today the European Court of Justice declared the EU's Data Retention Directive invalid, declaring that the mass collection of Internet data in Europe entailed a "wide-ranging and particularly serious interference with the fundamental rights to respect for private life and to the protection of personal data." The Directive ordered European states to pass laws that obliged Internet intermediaries to log records on their users' activity, keep them for up to two years, and provide access to the police and security services. The ECJ joins the United Nations' Human Rights Committee which last month called upon the United States to refrain from imposing mandatory retention of data by third parties.
In 2013, we learned digital surveillance by the world's governments knows no bounds. The NSA and other investigative agencies are capturing our phone calls, tracking our location, peering into our address books, and collecting our emails. They do this in secret, without adequate public oversight, and in violation of our human rights. We won't stand for this anymore. On Tuesday February 11, the world is fighting back.
In anticipation of the first united, worldwide action against mass spying, we asked Katarzyna Szymielewicz, co-founder and President of the digital rights organization, Panoptykon Foundation, a signatory to the 13 Principles against mass surveillance, to let the world know how her team is fighting back.

text: On a hunt test I am entered in on the 27th of this month I have seen the number of entries increase by 9 dogs after the closing time. I suppose some of those are mail ins perhaps, but actually the closing time came and went with entry express still indicating "enter event" rather than "closed". Is this worth questioning with the event secretary?

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Sounds like the Force will not be a gameplay element in the game. This might actually have some promise even though it sounds like a shameless rip-off of games like Hitman and GTA.
This sounds like it could be a lot like Bounty Hunter, which I really loved when it came out all those years ago. It'll be fun to play as a non-Jedi and explore the criminal underworld. So yeah, even though I don't get too excited for things like The Old Republic, this sounds like it could be fun.
This sounds more like Star Wassassin's Creed to me, but not a terrible idea I suppose.
I was hoping for Battlefront 3 or a new X-wing vs TIE Fighter sort of game though.
Have: CW Yularen, CW Clone, everything from CW Slave I set except Slave I, TFU Shadow Stormtrooper x2, Evo Trooper, Saga AT-AT Driver, K-Mart Jodo Kast || Want: Vintage Fordo
Thanks to TheDarthVader, Phantom-like Menace, TheRealDubya, Jediguy, Dark Marble, Umbra, Qui-Long Gone, CrunchyNug, GH_fan and jedikiss.
BF3 was roughly 80% done when the company - Free Radical - folded and was sold to Crytek, LucasArts took it back and handed it to another house but the starfighter ground-to-space-to-starship seamless battling was proprietary to Free Radical and not able to transition, leaving the most of the playable game to be trashed. Since then it's rumored to have gone through 3 different studios' hands and is in limbo despite FPS games doing big numbers with the COD and Battlefield series.
There are so few starfighter games for current-gen platforms, any plane-battle games at all really, it makes me sad. We get hundreds of FPS and fighter games a year, but no planes or starfighters. And Jedi Starfighter doesn't really count, nobody wants to be Adi Gallia.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I can't wait to play this on the Wii!
At this point, given that the Wii is dying out (I blame the disproportionate number of third-party games that SUCK and give the console a worse reputation than it deserves), even I'm thinking of a PS3.
Especially since I can't get any bonus features for John Carter at all unless I finally give in to the blu-ray scam.
That's my jacket!

Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
Nah, JT, I think all the developers throwing out s****y games to jump on the motion gimmick with trash like Carnival Games flooded the market. The good games for the Wii are lacking in graphics, but are amazing when it comes to fun. (Yes, even Force Unleashed.) Based on what I've played, though, I could say the same about the Kinect. (Or was that Star Wars game not the pile of carp I heard it was?)

I agree with Fan Club!
I think the key phrase for this topic Is "Open minded". I guess for some it is hard to accept new found information. An open mind is one of the reasons we are even in this counrty! Although Columbus discovered this land by accident while looking for another port, he went against the notion that others had about the world being flat. LOL! Come on guys! Don't dismiss something just because you have not seen it first hand. I have not seen a million dollars but I know it exists!

124 days to go before I'm in the deer woods with my muzzleloader in hopes of tagging a deer. I'm not a trophy hunter. I want to do is fill my freezers with venision. Don't get me wrong, if the hunting gods send out a nice buck in my M/L range, I would be more then happy to put him in freezers with the does.
Turkey season (SPRING) is another 5 months after that. (CAN I LAST)??? [&:]

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: Case of the Departing Drummer
I had to at least test the waters, so I whispered to the young hunter that the gobbler was drumming right behind us. Based on his expression, my friend didn't know what drumming was or thought I was pulling his leg -- or both.
That sealed it. I waited patiently for another 90 seconds, and then the drumming slowly faded as the previously red-hot gobbler walked up a steep hill and out of our lives. I tried to impart to my charge how close we'd come, but I'm not sure he believed me.
And do you know what? It didn't matter anyway. The next morning, we struck a lonely gobbler, and I yelped him 200 yards along a logging road to within 20 yards of the gun. My young pal smoked that turkey, and a hunter was born.
"I heard that sound again with this bird," he said, describing the drumming of the approaching gobbler. "Now I know what that was yesterday."
Yep. Only yesterday no longer mattered.
What decision did you make?

Green Star Awards: Environmental emergency "heroes" honoured
Individuals and organisations involved in responding to a range of environmental emergencies, including the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Hurricane Sandy, forest fires and climate change, have been honoured as recipients of the third Green Star Awards.
The awards recognize individuals, organizations, governments and companies that have made remarkable efforts to prepare for and respond to actions to prevent environmental emergencies. Held every two years, the awards are jointly hosted by OCHA, the NGO Green Cross International (GCI) and the United Nations Environment Programme.
"The Green Star Awards recognize people who are on the front lines of preventing, preparing for and responding to environmental emergencies, tackling life threatening pollution and other hazards, and helping people reconstruct their lives after a devastating forest fire or tsunami," said UN Humanitarian Chief Valerie Amos in a video message shown at the ceremony.
"We owe a particular debt of gratitude to people who work behind the scenes to prevent emergencies, and to help people prepare for their impact."
"This momentum needs to intensify"
The six winners were the Kenya Red Cross Society; Professor Nikola Nikolov of Macedonia, Sundar Prasad Sharma of Nepal, and Professor Sergiy Zibtsev of Ukraine (who received a joint award); the Mayor of Japan's Katsurao Village, Masahide Matsumoto; the New York City Hurricane Sandy Debris Removal Task Force; the World Wildlife Fund and the American Red Cross.
Over 250 people attended the event, including the former President of the Soviet Union and founder of GCI, Mikhail Gorbachev, former Prime Minister of the Netherlands and ex-head of the UN Refugee Agency, Ruud Lubbers, and French explorer and environmentalist Jean Michel Cousteau. Famed British environmentalist Sir David Attenborough, though unable to attend in person, was honored with a special lifetime award for his work on raising awareness on climate change, and his 60 years of dedication to the environment.
Wendy Cue, who manages the joint UNEP/OCHA Environment Unit, said the 2013 Awards were the most successful since they were first launched in 2009, with more than 30 nominations being received.
"This shows how seriously people all around the world are taking the threats posed by environmental emergencies," Ms. Cue said. "This momentum needs to intensify if the world is going to be able to keep pace with the increasing threats posed to communities and the environment by manmade emergencies."
"True heroes"
GCI President Alexander Likhotal praised the Green Star Award recipients for their commitment to tackling threats posed by environmental emergencies.
"These people and organizations are true heroes who not only recognize the dire need to be able to prevent environmental emergencies and protect people from their impacts, but are actually doing something about it," he said.
"Threats posed by unchecked industrial activities, or human-induced climate change, must be minimized. At the same time, taking measures to improve emergency preparedness, as demonstrated by the Awardees, needs to be expanded."
In the past decades, the world has seen more and more devastating disasters. In 2011 and 2012 alone, more than 600 disasters were recorded, affecting over 300 million people and inflicting economic damages of US$500 million, according to the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction and the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters.
About this year's winners
Masahide Matsumoto, Mayor of Japan's Katsurao Village, who evacuated 1,600 residents to safety the day before the second and third reactor explosions at the stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant in March 2011.
The Kenya Red Cross Society, for its efforts in disaster risk reduction, especially in the context of the September 2011 industrial accident, fuel spill and fire in Nairobi.
Professor Nikola Nikolov of Macedonia, Sundar Prasad Sharma of Nepal, and Professor Sergiy Zibtsev of Ukraine for their leadership and work to strengthen national capacities to respond to the humanitarian and environmental impacts of wildfires.
The New York City Hurricane Sandy Debris Removal Task Force for their response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012.
The World Wildlife Fund and the American Red Cross for their joint development of the Green Recovery and Reconstruction Toolkit, following the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, to ensure disaster recovery efforts are sustainable.

Sequential Circuits Prophet VS
Here's a very cool keyboard from Sequential. Notice the joystick for controlling your sound modeling. The Prophet VS uses Vector Synthesis as its revolutionary new means of sound creation. It uses a total of four oscillators per voice with 127 waveforms (32 user) and dynamic waveform crossfading via the joystick. This was Sequential's first digital synth, and it was also their final synth unfortunately. But after Sequential was gone, Vector Synthesis technology went into the popular Korg Wavestation and Yamaha's SY-22 and TG-33.
Pictured above is the common rackmount version of the PVS. The Prophet VS is still a very sought after instrument because it has an incredible range of sounds! Its only problem is that there's practically nobody left that can fix it if something went wrong. It is used by Brian Eno, Trent Reznor, Apollo 440, Depeche Mode, Vince Clarke, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Erasure and filmmaker/composer John Carpenter.

The title of the game is Hooded.
Hooded is a 2D tile/puzzle based platformer with RPG elements. The only weapons your character can wield is swords, and they can move one block at a time (No standing in-between the tiles).
1) If you could only move one block at a time, your character was one block wide, and you had to kill an enemy with your sword, do you believe it'd be harder than if you could stand in-between blocks? What do you believe could fix this problem for you?
2) What traits would you like to be able to upgrade on your character in a 2d Platformer?
I would like to improve my characters Health because I'm not good at avoiding monsters.
I would like to improve my characters Damage because I am good at avoiding monsters, however I like getting by them as fast as possible when I do encounter them.
3) If some ways into the game, a new enemy type was introduced that could shoot projectiles at you, how would you react.
I'd be glad because it'd give me more challenge.
I'd be unhappy because it'd make the game harder, and I like being able to enjoy my games without having to focus on killing the enemies too much.
4) What do you think would make it easily distinguishable (for you) from multiple difficulty levels.
The enemies on easy should have less health than on Hard.
The enemies on easy should have normal health, however enemies on higher difficulty levels should have more health.
All feedback is appreciated, I'll eventually update this thread with screenshots !

Town Square
Last of a generation
Original post made by Charlie Welch, Old Mountain View, on Dec 2, 2008
On November 17th, my Aunt, Betty Jane Todd (deCurtoni) passed away at the age of 84. She was married to Cpt. James F. Todd (Navy), who was aboard the USS Macon when it went down off the coast of Monterey (Hanger 1, was it's home back then) and a he was a member of the landing crew when the Hindenberg exploded. They raised 3 children, Karen, Jim and Kim. Betty was a long time Sunnyvale resident with roots back to old Mountain View.
Betty was the last of a generation of the deCurtoni family who settled in Mountain View from San Francisco in 1906, on what was the family ranch along Church Street (35 Church Street, still in family) belonging to her Grandfather and Grandmother, Frank and Mattie deCurtoni.
Her father, Frank and his wife Sara brought into the world, Betty's brother, Charles (1913), and sisters, Doris (Laurie/1912),
Elva (Kankel/1917) and Barbara (Welch/1920). Betty was the youngest of the children. They all graduated from Mtn. View, either the Old Highway School or the newly completed (back then) Mountain View High.
Her sister Barbara was a life long Mountain View resident and Barbara's husband, Jim Welch taught at the Old Highway School after World War II. Betty's sister, Elva Kankel lived in Los Altos with her husband Bob, who owned and operated the old Chevron gas station on the corner of California and Castro Street. Doris and Charles both married and went on to different towns, but both returned to Mountain View to live out their final days.
When the New High School was completed they composed the lyrics to to their Alma Mater song, "We'll fight for dear old Mountain View and her colors blue and gray". They were also involved in the planting of the Redwood trees that still stand near what was the Girl's Gym and across the street at Pioneer Park. Frank deCurtoni was on a crew that planted the Camphor trees along Valardi Street that form that cool canopy as you drive down the block.
The common thread this deCurtoni family shared was their love of their home town and the life long friendships they developed while growing up among the orchards and farm land that comprised Mountain View. Where they could get on their horses and ride up to Stevens Creek and beyond. Where families knew each other and helped each other. A town where locking the doors at night before bed was unheard of.
The old days of a quiet little town with orchards and farms and friendships that lasted a lifetime... John Puppo, Don Lawson, Ed Mylrea, Lorena Mylrea, Maggie Mylrea, Charles Moore, Lawrence Anderson, Pete Stahor, Stan Anderson, Marty Spangler, Doris Awalt, Irv Carter, Alan Cranston, Peppy Martinez, Pete Janovich, Jack Randall, Bob Mastin, Helen Shearer, Jean Mockbee, Andy Janovich... too many others to recall and too many now departed... I like to think they are all now gathered together at my Grandmother's old Creamary that sat next to the old Mountain View Theater. The place where my mother, Barbara met my father, as she worked behind the counter and he would stop in after a day of teaching at the old Highway School and the old timers could come in for a treat... The originals from back in a day we can only imagine and who so few are still around to shed light on how truly special Mountain View was back before Silly-con Valley erupted. As a community, Moutain View is far better off having had such people as molders of what we have today.
Go Eagles and Keep the Faith...

"...how truly special Mountain View was back before Silly-con Valley erupted."
I'm sorry for your loss. It was an interesting read having recently cared for and lost a grandparent from this generation, too.
ps: but did you really have to take a cheap shot at what the valley is now? This is the best place on earth for engineers like me and I wouldn't change it.

Betty Todd (deCurtoni) was my grandmother and I am immensely proud of my family and heritage. To them it wasn't about working in Mountain View, it was about the community – they made Mountain View a historic gem. Not the tech boom.
Charlie - thank you.

Sorry Blargh...
Comment wasn't meant to demean anyone or their vocations... It was meant as a reflection on how caotic and frenzied the area has become since the days of my Great Grandparents and their children's, children's, children... Back when it was called Santa Clara Valley.
Sure, change is necessary... it took up until 1992/3 before our end of Church Street had sidewalks. Each generation brings on changes and Mountain View has become a key player in keeping up with the times and bringing in the revenue to keep the town looking as nice as it does (Thank you Google and everyone else).
I used to work for the City Parks Department where I kept up Pioneer Park, the Civic Center and the Downtown area and took great pride in doing so.... and I would always look at the grove of Redwoods at Pioneer Park and say to myself, "My Mom helped plant these beauties, good job Barbara June".

I am sorry for your loss. My parents Chris and Margaret Triana started their marriage in Mountain View in 1937. My father owned Triana Plumbing and Heating for many years until his retirement. I and my siblings grew up in Mountain View. My father and mother built their home on two lots at 679 Church Street. It was wonderful living there and I so loved it. My father passed away on 9/11/2001 and my mother two weeks later on 9/27/2001 in Granite Bay, CA. I miss them every single day and long for days of yesterday.

I am beyond excited to find this. Martha "Mattie" MacDonald DeCurtoni was my great-great-aunt. She was born in Philadelphia. Through census and other research methods, I knew that she and two other sister (Maggie and Annie) had moved to California, but I haven't been able to find their descendants. If anyone sees this, Charlie Welch in particular, will you please contact me? I've posted what I know to RootsWeb WorldConnect:

I, too, would very much like to have the complete words to the Alma Mater for the old MVHS. I know it starts "in a valley rimmed with mountains, coverer by a sky of blue" That's all I remember. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Class of 60

I've reminded him a time or two that I owe him a Chinese dinner the next time we meet again. I'll have to do better than that my friend. Our retriever community will always be less without him.

I was embarrassed for him. He made a mockery of his position as second in charge to the free world. All the smirk, laugh, arm waving....
He told two big lies (not fuzzy math lies.... people -died -and -I- won't -tell- the- truth -about -it lies) He did vote for 2 wars, and Libya did request more security.
It was a huge disappointment for me. His antics thoughout the event made it unreasonable for me to continue to listen to him.
It is impossible to take seriously a man who will lie about why soldiers are dead.

So, after 3 1/2 years of working at Digeo, I've finally decided to move on. I'll be leaving the company in mid-March.
I've also decided to leave the Bay Area and move back to Vancouver. I really love that city - I think I'm finally ready to take the leap and become a full-fledged Vancouverite.
Of course, the tech industry isn't as big there as Silicon Valley, but the Vancouver lifestyle just can't be beat. I'll have to get used to all that liquid sunshine again though.
I think I'll take it easy for a few months, and then I'll try to find some contract work to support myself. In the meantime, I've got a lot of very cool projects that I'll finally have time to work on. :-)

Admission Requirements for Adult Students
Admission requirements for adult students may differ slightly from those requirements for students who attend right after high school:
- You may not be required to take the ACT or SAT. Instead, some schools may have you take placement tests to help them assess your current knowledge or skills.
- A letter of recommendation from an employer, supervisor or coworker can be an effective substitute for a counselor's recommendation. If you attended college previously, try to request a recommendation from a professor or advisor who knew you well.
- If you attended college previously, request that a transcript be sent to the school to which you are applying. If the college or university has since closed, check with your state's higher education agency to determine whom to contact. Many schools charge a nominal fee for each transcript.
- Find out if you are eligible to receive credit for prior learning.
Different schools have different policies so be sure to check with the admissions office for details.
Although usually not required, you might also want to supplement your application by providing:
- a copy of your resume
- a list of your post-high school education, including continuing education, certifications or training received through your job
- an electronic or online portfolio to highlight your education and/or work accomplishments

Aortic angiography is a procedure that uses a special dye and x-rays to see how blood flows through the aorta, the major artery leading out of the heart, and through your abdomen or belly.
Angiography is an imaging test that uses x-rays and a special dye to see inside the arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Angiography - aorta; Aortography; Abdominal aorta angiogram; Aortic arteriogram
This test is done in a special unit of the hospital. Before the test starts, you will be given a mild sedative to help you relax.
After the x-rays or treatments are finished, the catheter is removed. Pressure is immediately applied to the puncture site for 20 - 45 minutes to stop the bleeding. After that time, the area is checked and a tight bandage is applied. The leg is usually kept straight for another 6 hours after the procedure.
You will be asked not to eat or drink anything for 6-8 hours before the test.
You will be asked to wear a hospital gown and sign a consent form for the procedure. Remove jewelry from the area being studied.
Tell your health care provider:
You will be awake during the test. You may feel a sting as the numbing medicine is given and some pressure as the catheter is inserted. You may feel a warm flushing when the contrast dye flows through the catheter. This is normal and usually goes away within a few seconds.

Has there ever been a better time to believe in diversifying your portfolio? Diversification makes so much sense right now. We were given crystal-clear evidence last year that Congress has no real plan to get along and compromise in order to move forward.
If there is no compromise, there is no forward progress. The compromise battle continued until the very last minute, or in the case of the fiscal cliff, we actually fell off the cliff and were rescued by one of those big birds that rescued the Hobbit. At some point, when all hope is lost, our Congress will act. Action taken in the final hour is suspect at best. How do you form a financial plan with such lack of direction?
You diversify. You plan for every scenario and you take the politics out of the equation as best you can. What you have left is, hopefully, a portfolio whose performance is based on the success of the underlying investments and not so much on the bigger picture. If the U.S. markets do poorly, you have international investments to fall back on. If bonds do poorly, you have stocks. If stocks do poorly, you have real estate. If you don't know which path you may be forced to take, then you make sure that you have something that will work for each path.
This method of investing didn't work well in the credit crisis of 2007-2009 because, in a credit crisis, everything goes down. When we rebounded, everything came back up. But there have been only three major credit meltdowns in our history, so I don't think it would be smart to invest based on the probability of another any time soon. They seem to come every 75 years or so. With any luck, most of us current investors should have other issues, like everlasting life, to contemplate by then.
At first, I was a bit uncomfortable starting with the blanket statement "this is the time to diversify." Times of uncertainty also produce unusual opportunities for those that are willing to take great risks. In uncertain times the markets tend to wait for certainty and then make big moves. If investors are willing to take sides early into one of these messes, and they end up being right, then they could have the potential for large profits.
We see and hear about that all the time. We see someone who made a fortune by taking a bet that, in retrospect, seemed obvious. It's important to remember that we also see lottery winners plastered all over the news. We never see the millions of losers interviewed. It gives us a false since of hope that we can be that person. That may be fine for the price of a lottery ticket, but the cost of betting your life savings and losing can be a game-changer for most of us.
So let me end with this: If you are like me and can't afford to take unusually high risks in your investment portfolio, there has seldom been a more appropriate time to diversify your assets.

Listening to the audiobook of "Basic Economics".
So much of a city is not refineries and mines but apartments, houses, office buildings and skyscrapers. To make it visually realistic, most of the city has to consist of these buildings. This is the SimCity approach.
If I lean more towards RTS though, it's more about resource extraction and manufacturing. It's a caricature.
If I make it like SimCity, I have to do a lot of pathfinding optimizing to make it able to run in real-time. This is probably impossible.
What I want is fun gameplay, so it will be a caricature of a whole country. Maybe even planets.
I was thinking of calling it "States and Corporations". And "in Space" maybe?
Now I've hardly played simulation games myself--other than Roller Coaster Tycoon, which I have practically memorized--so I don't know if any of the concepts I could touch on here have already been done in earlier games, but here I go:
>The density of the population effects the way people react to various situations and the politics they support. The population in big cities will tend to think more collectively.
>The people also have an acute sense of whether or not they feel they're being taken advantage of. They will be hesitant if they feel they are losing their freedom. The player might have to find the right balance between ordering her citizens around to maximize productivity, and leaving the simulated people to their own devices to maximize morale.
>I know sim games have disasters that can have natural disasters that wipe out coastlines, and monsters that knock down buildings, but has there ever been a game where revolutions can pop up under the right circumstances? Occupy Wall Street comes down the streets and breaks stuff, or full-on rebels try to tear the city apart altogether.
That seems too marginal to simulate.

|Bluewater Extreme Test the limits of the fly fishing domain
|Topic Review (Newest First)
cam's flys arn't that expensive an they do come w/tandem hooks Ive been selling them for $24.95 all set up
...guarantees are for washing machines but...
Phil hit all the big stuff that'll stretch your line and troop the backing!
That pic is my fish...my pal who got shotz of the fish and the gulfstream blue water but forgot all about me on the other end of the 12wt...Can't say the I blaim him!:hehe:
My experience is with Pacific sails, but the techniques will be the same. Get, or tie some Billfish poppers. The Sigler Big Game flies are real popular for pacific sails, but they are expensive. Mid Twenties without hooks Also carry some billfish streamers, and if you have a good captain you trust, if he says streamer instead of popper... Listen. Also I was shown a pretty cool trick a couple years ago. The cap of a 20 ounce bottle of soda with a hole poked in the center makes a very good improvised popper head for any streamer. No floatation, but you can get some good action out of it long enough to move a lit up fish.
If you are teasing the fish up, make sure the captain knows you don't care about IGFA rules, and that he doesn't need to drop into neutral before you cast. The fish will be much more likely to chase your popper if the props are spinning. Some captains assume all fly fishers want to be coasting for the cast. Also discuss with him and the mate what they will do when the fish is hooked, or when you get it near the boat. This should happen BEFORE you hook a fish. If they're going to start backing down on a fish, you don't want it to be a surprise to you!
It's really simple once the fish comes up. Using a very dense line (depthcharge, Rio Deep Sea, etc.) just drop (flop, plop... We ain't talking gorgeous casting technique here) the popper in the vicinity of the teaser, and keep an eye on that teaser as it's jerked into the boat... they hurt if they hit you! The cast won't be long, usually under 40 feet. After that it really is a matter of whether or not the fish gets the popper in its mouth. Sometimes they do, sometimes they try but fail, and sometimes they just bill it around and never eat. It's not your fault or the mates if it assaults your popper with no intent to eat. It just happens.
Lastly, use as long a shock leader as you can manage. Your chances of an intentional release are much better with a long shock. 4 feet is a great length if you don't care about the IGFA, as long as you can cast it. Yes that means you better find some water where you can cast your rig, including the flies, and practice at least once a week before you go. You don't want your casting to be the thing that kills your chances. Remember if you are fishing from a cruiser, you will be sidearming your backcast from the port corner of the boat (if you are right handed), and it's a good idea to practice watching your backcast, then snapping your head around to pick up the teaser. That means when you practice you need to cast at targets with same approach. There's lots of crap to catch your backcast if you arent' careful on a cruiser.
Find out what else is swimming around during the season you will be there that might come in on your teasers. Having a rod set up for another species can turn a day where you mostly sit on your hands into a day where you catch fish while you're waiting for the sails.
Your local library may have Trey Combs' Bluewater book. Don't let all the talk of "I need to know that my leader will part just before the rod breaks", and "you have to break a half dozen rods before you know how much pressure you can put on" bother you. He's relatively full of it, but the techniques listed are quite good. It's just fishing. Big, powerful fish, but just fishing. It's supposed to be fun.
I will be going down to the Miami area (Boca Raton) for Thanksgiving and will be taking a few extra days down there. I have been referred to a guide and will be teasing the fish to the surface with ballyho and then throwing the fly out. This is my first time doing this, so I am not really sure of all the techniques. Maybe someone else out there can let me know what I am in for.
Hey Pete, is that fish in the pic one that you had on? Sounds like you might have some experience at going after sailfish.
...big & flashy with "gravitas"...
Type in "offshore flys" into a search engine and you will find some examples......
If you will be teasing her to the boat, she will probably be ready to dance...
If you will be casting to passing fish be prepared for tight lips and tough winds...
Your guide will make or break you...try to get recommendations from those who've gone before...
Check you leaders, knots, hook points, and gear...and don't be standing on your line when she realizes there's a hook in her lunch!
And may the Force be with you!
It depends
How, when and where will you be fishing? I've hooked, and landed them on size1/0 three inch baitfish patterns when they've come in on chummed bait for Dorado and Tuna. If you're teasing them up from a cruiser, that's another story... Where and when will you be lucky enough to be going, and how will you be going after them?
Sailfish on a Fly?
What kinds of patterns are used for Sailfish?

- Description
The Karwendel is one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the northern limestone Alps. The Karwendel is situated north of the Inn valley and the city of Innsbruck (capital of Tirol). With its 54325ha (134182 acres) the Karwendel is Austria's largest nature reserve. Because it is lower in altitude and also not spread over several smaller areas, it also contains more variety than other reserves making the Karwendel unique.
The panorama was shoot from the Westliche Karwendelspitze. Great view across Mittenwald and the Karwendelbahn cable car station.

Hi all, thank you! It took me 56 minutes to take all pictures. Even I had to swap the camera battery after a few rows as I forgot to use a fresh battery. Stitching time was around 3h using PTgui. I did slice the panorama in 12 parts as usually stitching goes much faster with smaller slices. In the end I had to merge the parts back into one image. This was done with Photoshop.
Great photo, gigapanbot!
Hi gigapanbot, you made again a great panorama. Can you share a few details how long it took to take the pictures, which SW are you using and how long did it take to stitch the final image?

CVS to stop selling tobacco products Oct. 1February 5, 2014 11:37 PM
Come next October, it will be a little more inconvenient for Randy Smithburger to buy cigarettes.
Standing outside a Walgreens Wednesday, Mr. Smithburger, 23, of Homewood, looked dismayed to learn that the place where he usually feeds his Marlboro habit -- his local CVS drugstore -- won't be selling them anymore.
"I'm only here at Walgreens today because I need to catch a bus," he said, then shrugged. "I'll just get them at the gas station instead."
CVS Caremark Corp.'s announcement Wednesday that it will stop carrying tobacco products received plenty of plaudits, from President Barack Obama -- a former smoker -- to numerous public health advocates and the American Cancer Society, which has been urging large pharmacy chains for years to stop selling cigarettes.
"This is the right decision at the right time as we evolve from a drugstore into a health care company," said Larry Merlo, CVS's chief executive, at a news conference where he and other officials expressed hope that other big drug chains -- Rite Aid, Walgreens and Walmart -- would follow suit, although it wasn't immediately clear that they would.
CVS is the largest pharmacy chain in the country based on sales, while Walgreens is the largest in the number of stores.
"We have been evaluating this product category for some time to balance the choices our customers expect from us, with their ongoing health needs," said Michael Polzin, a spokesman for Walgreens, noting "we will continue to evaluate the choice of products our customers want," along with providing smoking cessation products.
Chain drugstores represent only about 4 percent of the market for cigarette sales -- gas stations are the largest, at 48 percent, followed by convenience stores at 21 percent. So will CVS's decision make that much difference to the 43.8 million people who still smoke in this country?
That number declined dramatically over the past 50 years but has flattened out somewhat in the last decade. In 2011, according to the American Cancer Society, nearly 1 in 3 male high school students -- 28 percent -- and nearly 1 in 5 female high school students -- 19 percent -- were found to be users of some type of tobacco.
"I like to smoke," Mr. Smithburger said, noting that he grew up in a family of smokers. "When you're in a bad mood, it takes the edge off."
"I don't buy cigarettes at drugstores anyway, they're too expensive," added Jen Courson, 35, of Penn Hills, who noted she patronizes Puffs Discount Tobacco. "I don't think this will make much of a difference to people who smoke. They can just go to the GetGo down the street."
Indeed, that particular GetGo in Wilkinsburg markets Camel cigarettes for $5.99 compared with around $7.50 at CVS.
Publicly, at least, CVS said it was a decision that comports with its mission "to help people on their path to better health," said Mr. Merlo, the Rhode Island-based company's CEO. As prescription drug sales have declined, CVS has installed nearly 800 "Minute" in-store clinics and nurse practitioners that they hope consumers will choose over waiting in a doctor's office.
"We've got 26,000 pharmacists and nurse practitioners who are helping millions of patients each and every day," he said. "They manage conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes -- all conditions that are worsened by smoking. We've come to the decision that cigarettes have no place in an environment where health care is being delivered."
But this may be more a case of a company trying to set itself apart in a market where it's hard to tell the difference between CVS, Walgreens or Rite Aid, said Tom Dougherty, a brand strategist and president and CEO of StealingShare.com.
CVS might lose $2 billion by dropping tobacco products, but that could very well be made up by customers who admire its decision not to sell tobacco, Mr. Donahue said, citing research his company conducted years ago that found consumers would be willing to switch their loyalties to a drug chain that didn't sell cigarettes.
"As human beings, we all seek meaning in our lives, and if we don't have it, we make it up," Mr. Donahue said, noting that with chain drugstores on every street corner, sometimes convenience is a matter of a few hundred yards.
"So if you can find a pharmacy that speaks to your higher sense of self, are you willing to be put out by half a mile?"
Cynthia Louise Riley, of Rolla, Mo., apparently thinks so. She wrote on the Post-Gazette's Facebook page that she would start "spending my money at CVS ... people who are angry over this can shop elsewhere. I'm happy to pay more to shop at a place that acts as an advocate for the things I find important."
Hilary Tindle, the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC physician who directs the Tobacco Treatment Service at UPMC Montefiore and UPMC Presbyterian, said the CVS decision "is a great step" in the campaign "to reduce tobacco use to zero."
"The fewer places where you can purchase and use tobacco, the better," she said.
"I'm happy CVS had the courage to take this step, and I hope other businesses will follow suit," Dr. Tindle said.
Correction, posted Feb. 6, 2014: Tom Dougherty's last name has been corrected.

Saw this great topic on another forum and just want to bring it over here and try to see the feedback.
I myself is collecting 1/6 military figs apart from SW and its equally fierce in eating up the cash in my wallet. The delay in Snowspeeder and Tie Bomber gave me a breather but over at the 1/6 area, they are coming up with some great figs - its back to square 1, there will be no rest for my cash
So what's sharing your income other than SW Stuffs?

You've got:
Boba Fett

But which one do you like the most and why?
You've got:
Boba Fett
and more...
But which one do you like the most and why?
''You fool, my reach is far greater than the Jedi.Only a Sith can wield the force over such a great distance.'' - Darth Sidious
I guess "and more" is Bossk. It seems GNT has demoted Bossk to "The Professor and Mary Ann" level of Star Wars. That's a Gilligans Island reference for those of you who haven't ruined their brains on TBS reruns. I think voting for Boba Fett is too easy so I'll take him out of the equation. I read alot of EU books and that's really the only way you can make a judgement on these other guys. I really liked Dengar before he fell in love and found his humanity. It turned him into a wuss. Sorry Dengar fans. IG-88 was cool before he turned stupid and downloaded himself into the Death Star II. I'll have to go with 4-LOM. His background story is cool having served humans on a cruise ship and learning to steal from the rich for fun. I also like the way he cares about Zuckuss, after a fashion, and tries to help hide his illness from the other bounty hunters. He's a cool/ deadly droid. Not as deadly as IG-88 but with more street smarts. He recognizes that there are things that he can learn from sentient beings and always studies them so that he can make improvements to his own programming. I never thought I'd say it because he's such a boring action figure but 4-LOM is my favorite bounty hunter.
Who are you?
Why are you?
What do you want?
I liked Bossk... maybe 'cos he was a mailaway figure back in the day. Maybe it's 'cos he's a mean-looking bad-*****. Maybe it's 'cos I liked the Professor and Mary Ann.
I'd have to say Bossk.
I'll take the Boba Fett angle. He's still the best, even though so many fans adore him.
GNT, you can make that list:
Boba Fett
... and more.
I pick Bossk, aside from Boba Fett he had the only speaking part in ESB.
And what an amazing speech it was! Screenwriting at it's best!
I've never mentioned this to anyone but the first time I heard Bossk's monologue, it brought a tear to my eye. Really.
I mean this is what it's all about people, this kind of insight into each character's personality is why we love Star Wars so much.
"Blleeeaaaarrrrgggg!!!!" well spoken Bossk, well spoken.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
LOL Bigbarada! I could actually hear Bossk when I read your post. Do you think that it was spelled out that way in the script?
Who are you?
Why are you?
What do you want?
'(Alien makes unintelligible gagging sound.)' is probably how the script read.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
Bossk all the way he just looks so cool he has always benn my favorite even as a child I remeber loving this guy. It might be just that he is just cool eye candy I don't know ,but he is the man!
"One day I will become the most powerful Jedi (Sith) ever." Anakin Skywalker, Epi.II
Yoda is forever my hero now...
You know, since the EU started, pretty much every unnamed character from the film is a bounty hunter. Ponda Baba, Djas Puhr, Takeel & Zutton, you name 'em!
IMHO, it's a toss-up between Boba Fett and Bossk. Though the third alien from the right in the second scene following the vernal equinox is pretty awesome, too!
I'm all for Boba Fett.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Social Networks
Ever since Google's January 2010 decision to cease censorship of its Chinese-language search engine, the world has watched closely to see what would happen next. The ensuing cat-and-mouse game of information repression and dissemination represented a serious challenge to the ability of the Internet to remain free and open in the face of totalitarian government censorship. Would Google cease all operations in China? Would China block access to Google altogether?
Can public websites decide who is and is not a criminal through their terms of service? A brief EFF filed yesterday argues no.
The amicus brief is a follow-up to one we filed last month in Facebook v. Power Ventures. Facebook claims that Power breaks California criminal law by offering users a tool that aggregates their own information across several social networking sites. For some, it may be a useful way to access various social network information through one interface. The tool also makes it easier for users to export their data out of Facebook. In its suit against Power Ventures, Facebook claims that the tool violates criminal law because Facebook's terms of service ban users from accessing their information through "automated means."
Update June 7, 2010 Yahoo! has changed it's Profiles feature into Yahoo! Pulse. Since the layout and URLs are a bit different, we have updated our opt out instructions below.
Earlier this week, Yahoo! announced a plan to try to leverage its Yahoo! Mail users' contacts into a social network of friends who will receive your Yahoo! Updates. Once the most visited website in the world, Yahoo! now ranks fourth worldwide, reaching about a quarter of all Internet users each day. Like Google Buzz's ill-fated launch using Gmail contacts, Yahoo! wants to jump start its social networking plans with the hundreds of millions of people who already use its email and messenger services.
As soon as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the company's latest privacy changes last Wednesday, EFF published its immediate reaction and posted a simple video tutorial. EFF also opined about the changes at AOL News, in the New York Times, on the radio with NPR's All Things Considered, and on television with PBS' Newshour.
Today, Facebook announced new privacy controls and settings in response to the tremendous public outcry over its April changes. Here we explain step-by-step how to take advantage of the new settings and maximize your privacy on Facebook.
This is important because you must take affirmative steps to adjust your settings in order to take full advantage of the revised privacy practices. While some information, such as your name, profile picture and gender, will remain publicly available, these steps are designed to provide as much privacy as Facebook's new system allows. Please enjoy our video, which goes through each of the steps detailed below.

Things I Learned while building f19alpha imgs for our openstack cloud
Things I learned today:
1. the predictable network device naming stuff in systemd is kinda arbitrary when it comes to cloud imgs that may run on a variety of virt systems – so to turn it off just add this to your %post in your kickstart:
# disable systemd 'predictable' device names for networks w/a hammerln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules cat > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 << EOF DEVICE="eth0" BOOTPROTO="dhcp" ONBOOT="yes" TYPE="Ethernet" EOF
That last bit is just to make a generic ifcfg-eth0 so ifup eth0 works normally.
2. the hostonly initramfs that dracut makes now plays up when you are moving an image around. make sure you add
to %packages to get it to behave as you'd expect
3. if you don't have a lot of memory then you may not want tmpfs for /tmp - to turn that off just do:
systemctl mask tmp.mount
in %post and it will be as you'd expect.
4. syslinux-extlinux is WAY nicer and simpler to use than grub2
Thanks to Mattdm for making the syslinux-extlinux option for anaconda happen.
