GM is Gaga For Texas IT Center

Company is hiring hundreds of American workers, building new facilities, and trying to improve efficiency
When you think General Motors Comp. (
) you probably think of Detroit, Mich. But the domestic automaker is also heavily invested in Texas, where it employes 4,500 people. A two-shift plant
in Arlington
has 2,500 employees focused on building Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac SUVs. GM Financial employs 1,800 at various locations across the state. And there's two call centers with a couple hundred employees, as well.
I. GM Expands Texas Hiring
And GM isn't backing down from its friendship with the Lone Star State, whose former governor George W. Bush was the
original architect
, and to this day
ardent defender of the bailout
structured bankruptcy
that arguably saved the company from liquidation.
The company today
announced plans
to build a new IT center in Austin, Texas which will hire 500 professionals. Among the positions GM is looking to fill are software developers, project managers, database experts, and business analysts.
The center will be located just miles from other industry giants, such as Apple, Inc.'s (
) largest U.S. call center and Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd.'s (
massive chip fab
Among other locations, the new Austin data center will help serve GM's large

The IT center is part of GM's bid to centralize its formerly scattered IT efforts, which often operated pseudo-automously on a site-per-site basis pre-bankruptcy. The IT consolidation should both drive cost savings, and -- according to GM -- "drive
breakthrough ideas
". GM says the Austin center is the "first of several new IT Innovation Centers".
GM Chief Information Officer Randy Mott cheered the move in a press release, remarking:
We want IT to keep up with the imagination of our GM business partners, and to do that, we plan to rebalance the employment model over the next three years so that the majority of our IT work is done by GM employees focused on extending new capabilities that further enable our business.
We anticipate hiring as many as 500 new GM employees in Austin. We look to the Innovation Centers to design and deliver IT that drives down the cost of ongoing operations while continuously increasing the level and speed at which innovative products and services are available to GM customers.
The next generation of IT workers, the talented visionaries we want contributing at the Innovation Center, are being trained at top computer science schools in Texas and surrounding states. The IT Innovation Centers are critical to our overall IT business strategy and transformation.
II. Bailout Benefits Finally Being Realized?
GM is also adding a third shift to its Arlington plant, which could raise wages for some and add at least a few hundred more well-paying skilled labor jobs, which come with health care benefits and a pension. GM is also opening a $200M USD part stamping plant which will "create or retain approximately 180 jobs".

The company has
drawn a lot
of fire
over the last couple years over accepting government money and opting for structured bankruptcy/government takeover instead of a liquidation. However, the
hiring spree
is a welcome trend amidst mass layoffs from the likes of
Research in Motion
, Ltd. (
, Inc. (
), and
Comp. (
) in the tech industry.
Of course, Ford Motor Comp. (
) is also in the relatively small minority of companies looking to
expand its domestic manufacturing
professional workforce
in the U.S., and it received a
more limited amount of bailout funds
(in the form of certain Recovery Act grants for advanced vehicle development).
Ultimately the U.S. government
its losses on the bailout of GM, Chrylser, Ford, and industry parts suppliers to be around $25.1B USD. However, that figure does not account for preserved spending power and taxable GDP -- which will likely return billions to the government. In the end it's clear that something was lost, but something was gained as well in the auto bailout.
"We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
You can sign-in using OpenID credentials, or register a traditional username and password.
First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.
Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Site originally by David Winterbottom (user root).
Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
You have an external USB drive or key.
Apply this command (using the file path of anything on your device) and it will simulate the unplug of this device.
If you just want the port, just type :
echo $(sudo lshw -businfo | grep -B 1 -m 1 $(df "/path/to/file" | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}' | cut -c 6-8) | head -n 1 | awk '{print $1}' | cut -c 5- | tr ":" "-")
This command will use the fdisk utility to find all block devices on your system, and overwrite them with data from the /dev/urandom non-blocking random number generator.
CAUTION: This will irrevocably erase EVERY SINGLE physical block storage device visible to the fdisk utility, including plugged USB devices, RAID sets, LVM, etc.
entering this command as root may give more complete results, creating a tmp file, and immediately opening the file might be more useful
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
This would open the Grub configuration file. In this file we have to edit the line
Creates a temporary ram partition
To use:
ram 3
to make a 3gb partition (Defaults to 1gb)
Replace KEY with GPG key. This command will load GPG key and add it to your system so you can use software from third party repos etc.
Kills all processes with a certain string. This was done to kill all ssh sessions openned by zenoss which look like: usr/bin/ssh /opt/zenoss/bin/zenmodeler
If you run dpkg --clear-selections or have otherwise selected installed packages for deinstall, but want to undo it, run this. It will set all installed packages back to installed status so that they won't be removed by commands like "dpkg -Pa"
Install all build dependencies for a given package
Back up /etc directory with a name based on the current date and the hostname of the machine, then chown the file for the current user for use.
bit of a contrived example and playing to my OCD but nice for quick scripted output of listening ports which is sorted by port, ip address and protocol.
..not guaranteed to always be accurate but fun to see how old you Linux installation is based on the root partitions file system creation date.
Assumes XP/2000/2003. For Server 2008+ try offset=105,906,176 You can find this number in the System Information utility under Partition Starting Offset. UEFI based boxes you want partition 2 since the first is just the boot files (and FAT). This works with (storage side) snapshots which is handy for single file restores on NFS mounted VMware systems
If you are an unlucky soul behind a corporate firewall you will likely find that downloading gpg keys is blocked. This is because the hkp protocol uses port 11371 by default to transfer the key.
By adding "hkp://" to the beginning of the hostname and ":80" to the end you are asking gpg to try using port 80 to connect (less likely to be blocked by a firewall). This relies on the remote server answering to requests over port 80.

Family: Centrarchidae, Sunfishes view all from this family
Description The smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) is a species of freshwater fish in the sunfish family (Centrarchidae) of the order Perciformes. It is the type species of its genus. One of the black basses, it is a popular game fish sought by anglers throughout the temperate zones of North America, and has been spread by stock to many cool-water tributaries and lakes in the United States and Canada. The smallmouth bass is native to the upper and middle Mississippi River basin, the Saint Lawrence River–Great Lakes system, and up into the Hudson Bay basin. Its common names include Smallmouth, Bronzeback, Brown Bass, Brownie, Smallie, Bronze Bass, and Bare back Bass.
The smallmouth bass is generally brown (seldom yellow) with red eyes,and dark brown vertical bands, rather than a horizontal band along the side. There are 13–15 soft rays in the dorsal fin. The upper jaw of smallmouth bass extends to the middle of the eye.
Males are generally smaller than females. The males tend to range around two pounds while females can range from three to six pounds. Their average sizes can differ, depending on where they are found; those found in American waters tend to be larger due to the longer summers, which allow them to eat and grow for a longer period of time.
Their habitat plays a significant role in their color, weight, and shape. River water smallmouth that live among dark water tend to be rather torpedo shaped and very dark brown in order to be more efficient for feeding. Lakeside smallmouth bass however, that live for example in sandy areas, tend to be a light yellow brown to adapt to the environment in a defensive state and are more oval shaped.
Dimensions Up to 24" (61 cm); 12 lbs (5.4 kg).
Habitat Lakes & ponds, Rivers & streams.
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Southwest, California, Northwest, Eastern Canada.

Follow the Matriarchs, heroines and prophetesses of the Bible and the New Testament in this special tour of Israel
Jerusalem: city of prophetesses, heroines and queens
Overview of Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives – this spiritually significant mountain is also the place for a bird's-eye view of the mountains and valleys surrounding the city and the way it grew through the ages.
Huldah's Tomb –Huldah the prophetess (2 Kings 22:14; 2 Chron. 34:22) has been commemorated here since the Middle Ages. The lady buried here is sacred by other names to other faiths: to Christians, she is St. Pelagia, a fifth-century singer from Antioch who abandoned her former life to devote herself to God. To Muslims, she is Lady Raba'ah, a ninth-century religious luminary.
Eleona (Pater Noster) – one of the first churches to be founded on the Mount of Olives in 326 CE by Queen Helene, the mother of King Constantine who was the first Christian emperor. Queen Helene also identified Calvary and the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem; in this and other ways she left an indelible mark on Christian history.
Russian Orthodox Church of Mary Magdalene – this beautiful 19th century church in its tranquil garden setting (open on Tuesday mornings) is the burial site of Princess Alice of Battenberg, Queen Elizabeth's mother-in-law. Princess Alice, who married into the Greek royal family, was honored as a Righteous Gentile by Yad Vashem in 1994 for hiding a Jewish family when the Nazis took over Athens.
The Tombs of the Kings – an old Jerusalem tradition has it that this magnificent tomb was the burial place of the kings of Judah. But it is actually that of a queen – Helene of Adiabene –who converted to Judaism and came with her family from Mesopotamia to Jerusalem, where she was highly praised for her gifts to the poor and to the Temple.
The Western Wall – a last remnant of the Second Temple, and as such, the holiest place in the Jewish world and a scene of fervent prayer and Bar Mitzvah celebrations (Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays).
The Southern Wall Archaeological Park – a "still-life" of the original Herodian street, revealing Roman destruction Robinson's Arch, and where a highlight is Hulda's Gates, named after the prophetess, and by tradition a teacher, who both censured and comforted at the end of the First Temple period.
The Davidson Visitor Center – housed in an eighth-century CE palace, where beautiful displays and a virtual-reconstruction, high-definition interactive model bring Jerusalem's history alive.
The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem – in this unique collection of items reflecting Egyptians, the Hittites, the Philistines, the Assyrians and others who left their mark on the region are many displays relating to women, including jewelry, figurines, a bust of "Sarah the Matriarch," a model of Esther's palace in Shushan, a Byzantine woman's decorated sarcophagus and more.

I'll just note that in addition to the Apache projects (as mentioned by gstein), FreeBSD is also free of Lead Developers.
Sad point of the day: Seeing a bunch of interesting concept papers (lilo's diary entries) disappear off Advogato. I hope they come back. I'm not sure I agree with everything that was in them, but they have been tought-provoking and interesting. (Those that have been flaming him away: Shame on you!)
Personally dangerous point of the day (or rather, last night): Got partially hooked on Everything 2. Starting to write up nodes there is a recursive loop - you always find something you want to link to, and thus have to create ever more nodes.
The Everything experience, combined with previous inspections of WikiWikiWeb, has led me to conlude that Ted Nelson (the original inventor of hypertext and initator the Xanadu project, started 1960) was right: You do need some way of hooking together multiple nodes of text (he calls them 'berts' or somesuch) to form a coherent text stream, but still be able to connect different sets of them for form different streams. Neither linear text nor traditional node/page based hypertext is enough, and thus all of the web, Everything, and WikiWikiWeb fail to live up to the original promise of hypertext. Everything and Wiki comes closer than the overall web, though.
Found another use for Advogato - replacement for looking at at coworkers. Even coworkers that I share office and desk with. Maybe I should start trying to pay more attention.
[Updated with reasons why you most likely would want to use the Compaq's data sets over Advogato's. This update came as a result of pvg's diary entry implying there was little reason to use Compaq's data sets.]
Ankh mentions using the correlation between evaluation from various people to find out what to present.
This is a field that has seen some study; it is known as "Collaborative Filtering" (or just "Personalization" when the marketeers have been there), have implementations available from Firefly (now purchased by Microsoft, IIRC - their website is down, so I can't check), Net Perceptions (the commericalized aspect of Grouplens, and probably a couple of other companies.
If you are going to experiment with this, picking up a book on multi-variate analysis is probably not a bad idea. You can get free datasets from Compaq for research use. These measure how well a bunch of people have liked films (from EachMovie, while that still ran). They are probably better to use than the Master/Journeyer/Apprentice ratings from Advogato, as I expect "How well did you like that film?" to be more likely to evaluate the same criterion in each person than the various Advogato ratings. Apart from that, I expect the data sets to be much larger - EachMovie was mass-targeted and seemed quite popular.
Not that this is terribly relevant as a form of diary for me, but given the restrictions of the communications medium... *grin*
Just saw another smart person release something under the GPL. I really, really need to get my act together and write up a single, coherent paper on how this hurt free software. I've started a couple of times (mostly in e-mail discussions), but never completed it.
Overall conclusion: The GPL only makes sense if you hate commerical software so much that you are willing to hurt free software to hurt commercial software, if you love gratifying your own ego more than you love free software, or if the building blocks you are using force you to use the GPL. There is a long buildup of economics to show this, something I was surprised at when I first discovered it.
Word to the wise: Do not pick up "The Turing Option" (Harry Harrison and Marvin Minsky, 1992) intending to read just the first 50 pages or so. I read the entire 500 pages in a stretch, procastinating the things I'd planned to do during those seven hours. That's almost a standard workday (if any such thing exists.)
Oh, well, I enjoyed the book.
No new free software stuff today.
I've spent the day doing a bunch of 'environment maintenance' (asking customers to stop having their system automatically bug me when the customer doesn't handle their own problems, fixing minor bugs, etc) and working on the design of two new frameworks: One to do distributed transaction & message handling, and one to do customizable user interfaces (including ability to plug new functionality into a user interface, and having multiple versions of a user interface that still use the same backend.)
Hairy, but fun. Now: Take the weekend.
Adding deltas on branches in CVSFile didn't work after all. I've fixed it, and added code to let it manipulate branches and symbols. This is enough that it should be possible to start doing fun stuff with it - I'm going to try to produce a merged FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD CVS repository the next time I get some time to hack.
Still no docs beyond the source code, though.
On a more personal level, a new piano miracolously showed up here without the need of going through the go-out-and-blow-a-lot-of-money routine I'd originally expected to go through to get one (my grandmother suddenly called and wanted to buy me one.)
This is cool, though the timing is lousy, as I'm moving in a few days. Can't have it all, I guess.
Finally got around to fixing up my perl module to manipulate RCS/CVS files enough that it might actually be useful for manipulation.
It is now able to read and write RCS/CVS files, to retrieve the text for any version in the file, and to add new versions on an already existing branch. It is robust enough on the read/write that I couldn't find any errors in a full pass through the FreeBSD repository (reading in every single file, writing it out, and looking through the diffs between the original and the new copy.)
Forward steps:
Preliminary code is at http://www.freebsd.org/~eivind/CVSFile-0.1.tar.gz.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.

11.79: Reproductive System Health
What protective equipment do these boys need?
Along with shin guards, a protective cup is useful in preventing injuries. A kicked ball or kick to the groin can really hurt. Wearing a protective cup also prevents a potentially serious injury to the testes.
Keeping the Reproductive System Healthy
As was discussed in previous concepts, both infectious and noninfectious diseases of the reproductive system can be very serious. But there are ways to keep your reproductive system healthy. What can you do to keep your reproductive system healthy? You can start by making the right choices for overall good health. To be as healthy as you can be, you should:
- Eat a balanced diet that is high in fiber and low in fat.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Get regular exercise.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Get enough sleep.
- Avoid using tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs.
- Manage stress in healthy ways.
Keeping your genitals clean is also very important. A daily shower or bath is all that it takes. Females do not need to use special feminine hygiene products. In fact, using them may do more harm than good because they can irritate the vagina or other reproductive structures.
You should also avoid other behaviors that can put you at risk. Do not get into contact with another person's blood or other body fluids. For example, never get a tattoo or piercing unless you are sure that the needles have not been used before. This is one of the most important ways to prevent an STI. Of course, the only way to be fully protected against STIs is to refrain from sexual activity.
If you are a boy, you should always wear a protective cup when you play contact sports. Contact sports include football, boxing, and hockey. Wearing a cup will help protect the testes from injury. You should also do a monthly self-exam to check for cancer of the testes.
If you are a girl and use tampons, be sure to change them every four to six hours. Leaving tampons in for too long can put you at risk of toxic shock syndrome. This is a serious condition. Signs and symptoms of toxic shock syndrome develop suddenly, and the disease can be fatal. The disease involves fever, shock, and problems with the function of several body organs.
Girls should also get in the habit of doing a monthly self-exam to check for breast cancer. Although breast cancer is rare in teens, it's a good idea to start doing the exam when you are young. It will help you get to know what is normal for you.
- toxic shock syndrome: Potentially fatal bacterial infection caused by leaving tampons in too long.
- To keep the reproductive system healthy, keep the genitals clean and avoid coming into contact with body fluids, like blood or semen.
- To check for cancer, women should perform monthly self-exams of their breasts, and men should perform monthly self-exams of their testes.
Use the resource below to answer the questions that follow.
- Nutrition at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk_IJ6UWI7M (4:19)
- Think of what you have learned about the functioning of the human body? Think of all the amazing things it can do. Why do you think nutrition underlies so many things?
- Why do you think multiple small meals a day is better for your body than a few large meals?
- Why do you think the human body seems to "get used to" whatever kind of food it is eating? Think in terms of all the different metabolic pathways you have learned about.
- What is the purpose of a monthly self-exam of the testes?
- Explain how girls can reduce their risk of developing toxic shock syndrome.

Methinks Nelson is going to be in trouble. Killing a dude in front of an entire congregation, that's something even a federal agent would have trouble getting out of. Especially an agent who's sort of seen as a bit obsessed.
It's funny to see folks' predictions on Facebook; all you have to do is crack open a history book (or pull up Wikipedia) to see that Rothstein and Torrio will live for some time to come, and that neither Luciano nor Capone will yet be the giants of the mob world that they'll eventually become.
That's my jacket!
*Rubs hands togther* Mwahahahahahaha! Good!.....Good!
Loyalties questioned and lines blurred....alliances questioned, new ones forming...sounds like an SW plot line!
I think Nucky's revelation to Margaret has shown her his weakness and she'll use it to her advantage....BUT....we have to wait until next season to be sure!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I think Lucky will strike up an affair with the Commodore. That's what Eli and Jimmy were there for: to run interference.
That's my jacket!
Looks like the show, as well as Steve Buscemi and Kelly MacDonald, were nominated for Golden Globe awards.
Where the &^%$ is the love for Michael Shannon? Van Alden has got to be the single most $%^&ed-up character on television, and it can't be an easy task to portray him so well.
That's my jacket!
K-Wrap! I missed the premier due to work! I saw half of the first episode on Thursday night (Van Alden at his best!). Thank goodness HBO let's hunt down shows you've missed. I'll watch the whole thing before Sunday to get up to speed.
Chux, where are you!?
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
A good woman is hard to find! Though I have to admit I saw it coming.
May the force be with you.
This season is really quite amazing.
I see some bad blood coming between Lucky and Jimmy very soon. Also some animosity between Lucky and Rothstein. This new guy (I forget his name) looks to be quite the badarse in his own right, holding his own against Harrow.
I still think Eli and Jimmy are going to eventually side with Nucky against the Commodore. They're already planting the seeds, and it would go way too much against actual history for Eli to permanently be opposed to Nucky.
Chalky White definitely holds the current title of baddest arse on television. And Van Alden continues to be so insane that it's impossible to predict what he'll do next.
That's my jacket!

ean Little's most recent book, The Sweetest one of all, is a picture book for very young children and their parents. In it, barnyard animal babies ask their mothers who they are and each of them is told that he or she is the sweetest one of all. The book ends with a human mother telling her little one the same thing. And getting a loving hug in response. The playful text should continue to delight both children and adults even after many readings.
The colourful illustrations by Marisol Sarrazin are endearing and filled with lively detail. Each will hold small readers spellbound.

Mr. Christie's Book Award CLA Book of the Year for Children: Finalist Violet Downey Book Award: Shortlist
Ten-year-old Willow lives with her four-year-old brother Twig. They are in the care of their mother, since neither of their fathers have stuck around to raise them. When their mother breaks her parole and takes off, they are left in the care of Maisie. Unfortunately Maisie suddenly dies, and the two find themselves alone in the city.
With no one left to look after them in the city where they were born, they are sent to live with Willow's grandmother, a writer, in her house called Stonecrop. From the rough streets of Vancouver, the children must adjust to a rural setting in Ontario, and the ways of their grandmother.
Both heartbreakingly real and honestly inspiring, the story of Willow and Twig reverberates with the realities of growing up alone and unwanted, learning to be proud of who you are and having the courage to find out where it is that you truly belong.

I was searching KB Toys online, and I found something interesting. There is a small picture at the top of the page I was looking at and there is a character there that I have never seen. It looks like C-3PO from Episode 1, but not quite.
Here is the link (I hope it works; if not, just go to kbtoys.com and search for Star Wars):

Caleruega Church
The Transfiguration Chapel
Rising tall and majestic in the highest point of Caleruega is the Transfiguration Chapel. From here one can behold the expanse of Caleruega and witness the glorious opus of radiant nature – a symphony of sky, trees, and the distant hills of Batulao. Like St. Peter during Jesus' transfiguration, anyone who experiences such splendor of nature's poetry will declare: Lord, it is good for us to be here… (Mt.17:4).
The chapel itself is replete with symbolism. Its façade is a reproduction of the original chapel in Caleruega, Spain. Its hut-shaped roof is in remembrance of the temporary sheds that the apostles wanted to build for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah during the transfiguration (Mt 17:1-8). The seal of the Dominican Province of the Philippines is depicted in stained glass in the upper portion of the chapel's façade. The seven grapevines entwined in the steel doors of the chapel not only portray Jesus as the vine and we as branches (John 15:5), but also symbolize the seven sacraments. The main altar is a carved tree trunk representing the "stem of Jesse," mentioned in the Book of the Prophet Isaiah: then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit (Is 11:1). The tabernacle is a gentle reminder of the burning bush through which God revealed Himself to Moses in Mt. Sinai (Ex 3:2). The birds carved on the communion table are representations of God's providence in Matthew 6:26: Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap…and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. The stained glass depicts the Transfiguration of Jesus witnessed by Peter, John, and Luke. With Jesus are Moses and Elijah, two significant instruments of God in the Old Testament (Mat 17:3).
"Wedding in Caleruega is a dream come true for me. Way before Andrew became my boyfriend, i am already wishing for a Caleruega wedding. Our travel to Nasugbu to submit the requirements and for our pre cana was worth it! Super beautiful!" Andrew & Dette
"Our Chapel doesn't only captivate us but also our guests! It's worth the travel! Be sure to tell your guest to come early so that they would have enough time to roam and capture the beauty of Caleruega. Staff were very accommodating (ready to answer your queries). The cost will only cover the use of the Chapel and its sound system, in short, di pa kasama ang choir and flower arrangements." Romeo & Aileen
"We fell in love with this church. There's no place else we have in mind where we would say our vows. The UST Faculty of College of Nursing usually have their retreats at Caleruega so it has a certain attachment to us. It is very picturesque and we feel that its very solemn and quiet. We knew from the start the guests will enjoy its scenic spots. True enough they really did. We enjoyed our picture taking because the view of the mountains was just amazing. For older guests there is a small gate at the side of the chapel from the road to save them the hassle of taking the stairs." Rene & Joanne

Shares of programming and database tools vendor Pervasive Software (PVSW) are up 27 cents, or 3%, at $8.80 in late trading after middleware vendor Actian this afternoon said it increased its bid for the company, first announced on October 3rd, from $8.50 per share to $9.
Actian had previously said it was being backed in the $164 million bid by an affiliate of private equity firm Texas Pacific Group.
Actian made the case today that its bid is generous, with the company stating,
The new proposed price of $9.00 per share is well above the highest level reached by Pervasive's common stock the ten years prior to the last trading day before Actian's public announcement of its initial $8.50 bid for Pervasive. It also represents a premium of 37% over Pervasive's closing price of $6.55 on August 10, 2012; 35% over Pervasive's average closing price for the 90 days ending on August 10, 2012; and 49% over Pervasive's average closing price for the two years ending on August 10, 2012.
Actian's CEO Steve Shine accused Pervasive of trying to foil any transaction by a variety of requirements, such as forcing Actian to keep quite about its interest in Pervasive. "We believe Pervasive's positions are intended to keep a transaction from happening, and we know they would deny Pervasive's shareholders the opportunity to consider our offer. Opportunities like this do not sit idly for a year," said Shine.
The offers from Actian follow Pervasive's own announcement on September 12th that it would seek bids.

Book will give life to Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum's collection
'"Witness to History: Gettysburg' details Civil War itemsDecember 26, 2013 12:12 AM
Right after the Battle of Gettysburg, businessman Joel Danner recognized that his town had the potential to become a tourist destination.
He soon opened a museum and store on the borough's Baltimore Street where he displayed and sold battlefield artifacts. He painted distinctive white numbers on many of his items as aids to identification.
As many as 15 artifacts from Danner's long-gone "curiosity shop" have turned up in the collections of Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum in Oakland.
The stories behind some will be included in a book to be published next month by the landmark military museum. "Witness to History: Gettysburg" will describe 50 items from the Soldiers & Sailors displays and archives that bring to life events and people linked to the bloodiest battle of the Civil War.
Michael Kraus, curator and staff historian at the memorial hall, is writing the text.
The oldest item in the collection is a bronze bust of Abraham Lincoln, based on a life mask made by sculptor Leonard Volk. It was presented by the Sons of Union Veterans organization when the hall opened in 1910, Mr. Kraus said.
The life mask was done in 1860, when Lincoln was the Republican candidate for president, and it shows him without his familiar beard.
"The newest item is a diary that somebody brought in a few weeks ago," Mr. Kraus said. John Evans, who was training to become a doctor, served as a hospital steward in Company H of the 12th Pennsylvania Reserves. In those duties, he assisted regimental surgeons, prepping patients and providing what limited post-operative care was available.
When Noel Joyce Letterio of Oakdale gave Evans' diary and letters to Soldiers & Sailors, she was carrying out a request from her late mother, Mr. Kraus said. "She had heard us on a KDKA broadcast talking about what we do here, and she and her husband decided a donation to Soldiers & Sailors would fulfill her mother's wishes."
Especially now during the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the market -- and prices -- for memorabilia has grown dramatically. Among the highly sought items are the numbered pieces from Danner's 19th-century Gettysburg collection. It was a surprise to staff members at Soldiers & Sailors that their museum had so many items that had passed through Danner's hands.
In addition to buying and selling items such as spent artillery shells and field equipment, Danner also made photos of battlefield artifacts. Each item in those pictures was numbered. Four or five of those images were published in a book called "Gettysburg Battlefield Relics and Souvenirs."
Some of the Civil War-era items in the Oakland museum's collection bore white numbers, and staff members tried to match artifacts with images in the photographs.
Other items to be featured in the book include a sword, spur and telescope that belonged to Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren.
While Warren's name is not widely known, he played a crucial role during the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg. As Northern and Southern armies jockeyed for position July 2, 1863, Warren realized that Little Round Top -- located to the south of the Union left flank -- was almost undefended. Trained as an engineer and map maker, he saw the danger of a Confederate attack there and he scrambled his staff officers to find troops to defend the high ground. Erie's Col. Strong Vincent responded.
Soldiers & Sailors holds about 10,000 major artifacts from the nation's wars and only a fraction of them can be on display at one time. "Witness to History: Gettysburg" will include descriptions of some items not often seen by the public.
The e-book should be available in mid-January with hopes for a print edition to come out later in 2014. The project is being underwritten by a number of local companies.
Mr. Kraus said more information on the book project will be available shortly on the museum website, www.soldiersandsailorshall.or.

Test Your Willpower
The Alibi's New Year's Party Guide
By Steven Nery
Farewell, 2008. You were a suspenseful one to say the least, and already your Wikipedia timeline is shaping up like a best-selling novel by Michael Crichton (who, coincidentally, passed away this year). There wasn't a day when some huge and world-shaking event didn't parade through the headlines: financial turmoil, unprecedented bailouts, the extinction of our biggest corporate brands, lipstick-wearing pit bulls, the ongoing war, Hadron Super Colliders, pirates, Chinese earthquakes, Olympic firsts, and a historic election that awarded us both America's first Black president and Gov. Richardson's muy suave beard. You've been a real page-turner, 2008, right up to that Great Presidential Shoeing episode in Iraq (which was my favorite, by the way).
But what the hell? It's time to forget all the above and throw ourselves headlong into 2009. Grab some friends, take a deep breath and designate that driver. As always, the Alibi's New Year's Party Guide is here to steer you through all the chaos happening Dec. 31. Be safe and have fun!

An automobile dealership that has been in Corner Brook for more than 60 years has been sold to a Nova Scotia company. But City Chrysler general manager Jason O'Reilly says current employees will remain with the dealership.
"That was one of my biggest concerns, making sure our employees kept their jobs," said O'Reilly. "So I was a lot more interested in what (the Steele Auto Group) had to say after we had that worked out."
Halifax-based Steele will take over City Chrysler on O'Connell Drive March 31.
It's a move that O'Reilly says is a good one for everyone involved and he emphasized the dealerships' service will not change.
O'Reilly's family owned City Chrysler for 23 years after it was purchased by his mother, Rosemary O'Reilly.
He said five companies had been interested in purchasing the dealership, but Steele made the most sense. He said Steele, which runs several automobile dealerships in Nova Scotia, has a good business philosophy towards employees and customers, which impressed him.
O'Reilly said he will stay on at the dealership in a position called dealer principal.
"That was part of the deal. I don't know how long I'll stay on for, but I'm too young to retire," he said with a laugh.
"We had a lot of calls about selling. It was actually unsolicited, but the deal with Steele just made the most sense."
Rob Steele, CEO of the Steele Auto Group, said in a statement that being owned by the Steele Auto Group will provide greater opportunity for growth of the Chrysler brand in Corner Brook.
Acquiring a dealership outside Nova Scotia, he said, is a major strategic move for his company.

Let's talk about expectations. Specifically, let's talk about expectations for the Keanu Reeves-led 47 Ronin. The troubled film–and that's the word just about everyone uses to describe it–cost at least $150 million to make, and well before its release date Universal Studios knew it would be a stinker. But here's the thing: 47 Ronin has made $11 million in its first two days of release and could end up making $50 million at the U.S. box office. No, that won't begin to cover its costs, but again, it's all about expectations. If the movie is what the critics say it is, $50 million might not be a bad haul.
Now consider the U.S. stock market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.6% to 16,378.41 this week, and narrowly missed closing at a 51st new all-time high this year after it fell 0.01% today. Likewise, the S&P 500 gained 1.3% to 1,841.40, and it too missed its 45th record high by just 0.03%.
But as the year ends, it's time to think about expectations, as in what will the next year bring. And just as what came before could color how 47 Ronin is perceived, its likely that investors will let the Dow Jones Industrial Average's 26% gain and the S&P 500′s 29% rise, color their outlook–for the better or for the worse.
Don't. Let the folks at Birinyi Associates explain:
Our research has also concluded that the market works on its own, not calendar, cycle. We postulate that the markets of 1982, 1990 and 2009 have four stages and that this is the exuberant phase. Perhaps our biggest surprise this year has been that we have still not reached the point in the fourth phase where the optimists triumph. At the risk of being considered an annual projection we would recommend that investors at least consider the possibility of another outstanding year.
Given that the market does not adhere to the Gregorian calendar, we have adopted the practice of forecasting (and investing) in documentable stages or steps…Analyzing the trend of the S&P, the top of its current trading range is 1,870 which we would consider as a possible target. While we will fine-tune this after all of 2013's results and data have been posted, we are comfortable, confident and most assuredly positive.
Citigroup's Tobias Levkovich frets about a first-quarter selloff:
We continue to think that a 1Q14 correction (in the 5%-10% range) is possible given weakening EPS forward guidance trends…not to mention euphoric sentiment levels. While credit conditions remain favorable in the US, disappointment in emerging economies and a lackluster though improving Europe could hold back the earnings story. Admittedly, better hiring intentions are encouraging, plus stock buyback activity has stepped up and money has begun to flow into equity funds.
Investors, however, are showing no signs of letting up on the risk taking. Want evidence? Just look at the top-performing stocks this week. Four of the top-five come from the materials sector, which could benefit from a stronger economy. Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF), which rose 9.6% this week, Allegheny Technologies (ATI), which gained 7.7%, U.S. Steel (X), which advanced 7.7%, and Dow-exile Alcoa (AA), which finished the week up 7.6% They were joined by PulteGroup (PHM), which rose 7.8% after a delay of a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage-fee hike was mooted.
Like I said, expectations.

I have been wanting to make my own lotion for a LONG time! But I haven't been able to find QUITE the right "recipe" for me. There are as many formulations for lotion out there as there are fish in the sea it seems! Heavy, light. Greasy, non-greasy. Scented, unscented. etc etc etc. To be honest I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted…but knew I would know it when I found it. Sure enough…I did!
I found this semi-homemade version on PatchworkTimes.com and thought it sounded like just the ticket for me. Simple, inexpensive ingredients and no melting or cooking required. Funny thing is I recently bought some beeswax pellets online in preparation for making lotion…but have yet to use any of it. I might have to find another project that requires beeswax…because I LOVE this lotion! It's rich and creamy and yet not too heavy…and it smells heavenly! I just love the smell of baby lotion. :-)
The original recipe called for: 16 oz. baby lotion; 8 oz. Vaseline, and 8 oz. Vitamin E Cream
But after consulting with my staff of advisors (my sisters), we decided to try replacing the Vaseline with Coconut Oil. The result was LOTION PERFECTION! It's thick, but not heavy, so it's very moisturizing but doesn't leave your hands (feet, etc) feeling greasy. Oh, and did I mention how good it smells!?!? I was considering adding some essential oils to make my own "scented lotion", but thought better of it when I smelled this.
My sisters and I immediately started slathering this stuff on and my oldest sister said it reminded her of her favorite Burt's Bees lotion, but at a FRACTION of the cost.
So here is the revised
Homemade Moisturizing Lotion:
16 ounces baby lotion
8 ounces coconut oil (solid form, not melted)
8 ounces vitamin E cream
Mix together with handheld mixer until it resembles icing.
Store in air tight containers…keep it for your own supply…or slap on a quick little label for gift-giving!
I gave one to each of my sisters's that were visiting. :-)
Cost breakdown:
- Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil $7.00
- Dollar Store Baby Lotion $1.50
- Dollar Store Vitamin E Cream $1.50
Use roughly half the jar of coconut oil, the whole bottle of baby lotion and 1/2 the jar of vitamin E Cream.
Approximate cost: $5.75 for roughly 32 ounces. Or $1.44 for each 8 ounce jar I filled.
{{{Update: Here's a fun idea! Put on one of those pump tops! Find out how to MAKE one on this post: Make Your Own Mason Jar Dispenser}}}

- Written by Rian Scalia
Today SuperKombat announced their event schedule for 2013, which features six SuperKombat World Grand Prix events, six SuperKombat New Heroes qualification events as well as the World Tryout series.
Like last year, four of the SuperKombat World Grand Prix events will feature qualifying tournaments, with the winners going to the Final Elimination. Then the winners from the Final Elimination will fight in the final tournament at the SuperKombat World Grand Prix Final.
This year SuperKombat has brought in a new system to get fighters for it's tournaments with SuperKombat New Heroes, a series of six qualification events. The winners of the SuperKombat New Heroes tournaments will all qualify for spots in one of the four SuperKombat World Grand Prix qualifying tournaments. So far, one SuperKombat New Heroes event has already taken place this past weekend on February 23 in Opatija, Croatia, where Muamer Tufekcic, Ante Verunica, Uros Velicevic and Dino Belosevic won qualifying super fights at the event, which was put on in part with Opatija Fight Night. The next SuperKombat New Heroes event is scheduled for March 23 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
"As you know, in january we started the World Tryouts series because I'm sure that may be heroes undiscovered. Until now we had tryouts events in Greece, Germany and Great Britain and the future sounds good. Superkombat will became a complete fighting championship with tryouts events and after that with qualification events for the World Grand Prix series. The global format will be the same as in football. You must promote from a division to another. To be in the World Grand Prix series, you must get your ticket from the World Tryouts series and New Heroes series," said Eduard Irimia.

Competency Statements for UCSF Dentistry Graduates
Education at the UCSF School of Dentistry
Dental Classes and International Dental Classes
Adopted by Faculty Council February 6, 2003
Modified and approved April 14, 2006
Modified and Approved December 17, 2009
The clinical dental program of the UCSF School of Dentistry is dedicated to the delivery of comprehensive care to the many patients presenting for treatment at the Student Dental Practice on Parnassus Avenue and its satellite clinics. Clinical courses complement the didactic curriculum throughout the four years of education, and provide patient care experiences for a range of dental needs from simple to advanced in complexity. The goal of the clinical program is to produce competent new graduate dentists who have developed a satisfactory level of professional demeanor, patient management skills, diagnostic and technical excellence, and the ability to assess outcomes of care for child, adult, and geriatric patients.
The faculty have defined and approved 16 competencies that each student must demonstrate in order to graduate. These statements represent broad levels of academic and clinical achievement, measured by specific faculty evaluations and written and clinical examinations at various times during the academic program. These fundamental competencies, in the mind of the faculty, prepare the graduate for success with licensing examinations and the practice of general dentistry.
During the WASC accreditation process, 2008 to 2010, UCSF adopted universal learning outcomes for all graduates of UCSF regardless of school or major. The 16 School of Dentistry competencies (learning outcomes) already included one, professionalism, and were updated to include knowledge.
UCSF School of Dentistry Competency Statements

- Demonstrate ethical and professional behavior in interactions with the UCSF community including students, staff, faculty, and patients (universal learning outcome.)
- Demonstrate knowledge of course material (universal learning outcome.)
- Follow universal infection control guidelines in all clinical procedures.
- Evaluate medical status of patients and determine their ability to tolerate treatment.
- Communicate with and educate patients in ways that are both knowledgeable and effective.
- Determine need for, order, obtain, and interpret appropriate radiographs and apply oral and maxillofacial radiology safely and effectively.
- Evaluate, diagnose, and develop treatment and/or referral plans appropriate to the unique characteristics of each patient.
- Develop appropriate differential diagnoses and diagnostic plans for management of oral diseases of the dentition, jaw, oral mucosa, and salivary glands, and treat and refer as necessary.
- Diagnose the dental disease of child and adolescent patients and provide prevention, monitoring, treatment, and referral as necessary.
- Provide adult caries management including prevention and appropriate intracoronal and extracoronal restoration.
- Diagnose endodontic disease and provide systematic evaluation, case selection, non-surgical treatment, and referral as necessary.
- Diagnose periodontal disease and provide systematic evaluation, non-surgical treatment, and referral as necessary.
- Diagnose malocclusions and refer as necessary.
- Diagnose complete and partial edentulism and provide fixed or removable prostheses, and referral as necessary.
- Diagnose the indications for dentoalveolar surgery and provide treatment and referral as necessary.
- Provide appropriate level of pain and anxiety control in comprehensive dental care.
- Assess the outcomes of comprehensive dental care in the student dental practice.

Kernel 2.6 impressions. I've just upgraded my laptop from kernel 2.4 to 2.6, and finished screwing around with various configuration files. So far, everything seems to work very nicely, including features which were hopelessly broken in 2.4. Combined with a good hardware autoprober, this could be a pretty user-friendly kernel.
The new scheduler has improved interactive responsiveness tremendously, too. I can actually use my computer while exim delivers a large mail queue through expensive procmail filters.
So far, it's a winner. Does anybody know of a decent hardware autoprober for Debian?

Deeplinks Blog posts about RFID
Al igual que el año pasado y el anterior a ese, la EFF recibe las fiestas de fin de año con una nueva lista de deseos; cosas que nos encantaría que sucedieran para nosotros y cada usuario de internet en el mundo por estas fiestas. Estas son algunas de las acciones de parte de gobiernos, empresas e individuos, que nos encantaría ver en este nuevo año.
As we did last year and the year before, EFF welcomes the winter season with a new wishlist of some things we'd love to have happen for the holidays—for us and for all Internet users. These are some of the actions we'd most like to see from companies, governments, organizations, and individuals in the new year.
Scary news from California's Contra Costa County — school officials there have reportedly decided to track some preschoolers with RFID chips, thanks to a federal grant supplying the funding.
According to a story from the Associated Press, the students will wear a jersey at school that has the RFID tag attached. The tag will track the children's movements and collect other data, like if the child has eaten or not. According to a Contra Costa County official, this is a cost-savings move, as teachers used to have to manually keep track of a child's attendance and meal schedule.
Why is Michigan set to issue new Enhanced Drivers' Licenses (EDLs) that include long-range RFID (Radio Frequency ID) technology? That's the question that Michigan Rep. Paul Opsommer wants answered.
Michigan entering into a federal agreement to put unencrypted, long range RFID computer chips into our driver's licenses presents a huge privacy risk with very little benefit. I don't think we need RFID in our licenses period, but even if we did, there is absolutely no reason it couldn't be short range and encrypted.
It's hard to find many people who've worked as hard to create an open and transparent government as Carl Malamud. To name just a few of his recent accomplishments: He's convinced C-SPAN to license Congressional hearings under Creative Commons, worked to free California and Oregon state legislation from nonsensical copyright restrictions, and was instrumental in making the SEC's EDGAR database free and public.
If you look over his work and website, it's easy to see why people call him "The Rogue Archivist." But why should such important public services be the job of a so-called rogue? Shouldn't the government itself get behind these efforts?

Conservatives to gather in Madison for Tax Day Rally, April 14, 2012
Americans for Prosperity is once again sponsoring a Tax Day rally at our state capitol in Madison on Saturday, April 14, 2012, from 11:30am to 1pm--so even working folks can participate. Their invitation reads,
I attended one of these Tea Party rallies in 2010 and it was a great experience--it was there, many in Wisconsin were first introduced to Ron Johnson!
This year, Americans for Prosperity is again providing bus service but you must register under their Ticket Information section to reserve your spot. Unfortunately, the bus service is sold out from Milwaukee and Waukesha locations, but if you were set on taking the bus, you could drive to the Fond du Lac pick up location behind Rocky Rococo at 806 W. Johnson Street, and go from there. (Be sure to register first.)
If you wish to drive to Madison, AFP has also arranged parking at the Alliant Energy Center for $6 that includes a free shuttle from 10am to 3pm. (I am not sure which lot, but I think you will see the crowds. Contact AFP for more info: Phone: 414-604-6613 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com) You must register for this option as well. It is the last choice listed on the Ticket Information section under General Admission.

Updated on 4 June 2012
Industry says advance planning by the government can help address supply issue from the private sector
India recently decided to revive three of its public sector vaccine manufacturing units and a strong argument in support of their revival is that they will act as a buffer in times of medical emergencies. The supplies from government units can be faster than private players, claim those who support the revival.
So, did the shortage of vaccines supply from the private sector prompt the government to revive the vaccine units? Industry experts deny it. The industry, while welcoming the government move to revive the units, says there is unnecessary mistrust about private players in the market.
Mr KV Balasubramaniam, MD, Indian Immunologicals (IIL), Hyderabad, says, "Shortage of vaccines is a thing of the past. That happened some years ago when the department units were suddenly closed down due to GMP issues. They were not given time to modernize and improve."
He says the entry of private players bridged a substantial part of that gap. "This is a fact that has not been adequately acknowledged. We now meet a bulk of the requirements of DPT, TT and Hep B vaccines for the Universal Immunization Programme. We had to discontinue measles vaccine due to issues with the way the vaccine was getting mixed up with diluents causing serious adverse events. The situation would have been worse if IIL had not stepped in," he says.
Dr Krishna Ella, president, Vaccine Manufacturers Association of India, agrees with him. "The apparent shortage of vaccines, if any, from the private manufacturers was due to the lack of advance planning by the government to procure vaccines from them. Indian vaccine manufacturers also supply vaccines to other countries, the United Nations Children's Fund and Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization," he points out. Vaccine Manufacturers Association of India represents top vaccine manufacturers of the country, such as Bharat Biotech, Biological E, Panacea Biotec, Serum Institute of India and Shantha Biotechnics.

Mittelschmerz is one-sided, lower abdominal pain in women. It occurs at or around the time of an egg is released from the ovaries (ovulation).
Ovulation pain; Midcycle pain
About 1 in 5 women have pain around the time of ovulation. This is called mittelschmerz. The pain may occur just before, during, or after ovulation.
This pain can be explained in several ways. Just before to ovulation, the growth of the follicle where the egg develops may stretch the surface of the ovary. This can cause pain. At the time of ovulation, fluid or blood is released from the ruptured egg follicle. This may irritate lining of the abdomen.
Mittelschmerz may be felt on one side of the body in one month and then switch to the other side in the next month. It may also occur on the same side for many months in a row.
Symptoms include lower-abdominal pain that:
A pelvic exam shows no problems. Other tests (such as an abdominal ultrasound or transvaginal pelvic ultrasound) may be done to look for other causes of ovarian or pelvic pain. These tests may be done if the pain is ongoing.
Most of the time treatment is not needed. Pain relievers may be needed if the pain is intense or lasts a long time.
Mittelschmerz can be painful, but it is not harmful. It is not a sign of disease. It may help women be aware of the time in the menstrual cycle when the egg is released.
Most of the time there are no complications.
Call your health care provider if:
Birth control pills can be taken to prevent ovulation. This can help reduce pain that is linked to ovulation.

Thread: Chiller for 120g FOWLR

Chiller for 120g FOWLR
I need to lower my temp about 4-5 degrees in a 120g FOWLR. The Coralife 1/4 hp is rated up to 125g, but I've read that oversizing a chiller is recommended so that it works less, hence lasts longer. My issue is the $200-$300 difference in price between the 1/4 hp and the 1/2 hp (the 1/2 hp is rated for up to 250g). Any advice on this? Feel free to recommend other chiller brands too.
If price IS an issue, than you should be fine with the 1/4hp chiller. But if price isn't an issue than go ahead and buy the 1/2. Buying the lesser powered one will not raise an issue for your tank and will work perfectly.
Hope I helped. ~Chris"when i fish jumps out of the water just to bite you, they do not like you" - Unknown
marine or freshwater? marine! Freshwater! marine! freshwater! "why cant we do both?"...
If you need to lower your temp by 4 to 5 F, I would assume that your current temp is around 83 to 84 F.
Based on what I have read, that is a lot for a chiller to maintain. I would be worried a chiller only rated for 125 gallons would run almost non stop and run up your power bill. I would suggest looking into one that is rated higher than your tank volumn. Less power and less risk that way. Cutting corners on equipement usally is not a good idea
But like I said, I have no personal experiance using chilliers as our house is has AC.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Castevet's jaggedly angular extreme metal, defined by taut, insistent buildups, abrupt changes, deft use of dynamics, unsettling melodies, and energetic, intricate drum fills, has spellbound listeners since late 2006. The group's founders, guitarist/vocalist Andrew Hock and drummer Ian Jacyszyn, share extensive extreme-metal pedigrees. Jacyszyn plays in brutal death-metal act Copremesis and other outfits; Hock, currently active in ensembles like Baltimore/New York trio Feast of the Epiphany, cut his teeth in cult favorite Biolich as a teenager and formerly performed with avant-garde death-metalers Ehnahre while attending New England Conservatory and splitting his time between Boston and New York.
Castevet revamp and subvert the extremes of the black metal form with remarkable musicianship and progressive songwriting, but Hock is quick with caution. "Castevet was never meant to be black metal, although aspects of that music appear in our sound, as black metal is very close to all of us," he says. Perfectionists and meticulous songwriters, the band fomented its approach for the better part of three years before issuing its first 7-inch, 2009's Stones/Salts, then unleashed its seething debut album, Mounds of Ash — the product of four years' painstaking and obsessive revision — the following year. The record debuted on Profound Lore, a label with significant currency and a knack for presenting bands that relish irregularity while respecting tradition. The album fared well among indie critics and was featured on several best-of lists from respected metal magazines, echoing Castevet's wide-ranging appeal among diehards, outsiders, and skeptics. The LP's international acclaim allowed for a headlining tour of Canada and a set at this year's Maryland Deathfest, a milestone for the band.
Having parted ways with two previous bassists, Castevet recently welcomed Krallice's Nick McMaster, who has seen success with several bands and one-off supergroups. "Working with Nick has been very helpful, and we have total trust in his abilities as a composer and player," Hock says. "Adding a third compositional voice means the bass lines offer more harmonic, rhythmic, and melodic counterpoint than found in previous material, a really great step forward for us. Given our labor-intensive writing and editing process, having a third party who is more actively involved has been a welcome change."
Castevet previewed a new song at Somerville's Radio in late March that, while retaining the group's eccentricity through unusual chord voicings and polyrhythmic drumming, showcased an oblique nod to the mid-tempo breakdown common in black metal. Pressed on this observation, Hock offers, "We've never made any conscious decisions to sound more like this or that. We've always tried to let the music and our compositional goals dictate their own aesthetic. . . . It is important to me to create heavy music that isn't bound to the ethos of any sub-genre and to let our influences be fully synthesized in a way that is natural, fluid, and subtle."
