Adding Compiler Flag Information to an Executable[ Thanks to Kate Hedstrom of ARSC]
A friend asked me the following question:
> I would like to store the compiler
and compiler flags
> in a text string that is immediately inserted or defined in the
> "mod_strings.F". Then, I want to use that string for a global
> attribute in the NetCDF output. In this way we will have the

The question here is how to get the value of a "make" variable into a Fortran variable. One way to do it is with Perl, invoking it from within the Makefile:
(start Makefile)
CFT = f90 FFLAGS = -g -q64 CPP = cpp CPPFLAGS = -P strings.f90: strings.F $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) strings.F > strings.f90 perl -i -pe "s/MY_FFLAGS/$(FFLAGS)/" strings.f90 perl -i -pe "s/MY_CFT/$(CFT)/" strings.f90
(end Makefile)
Note that I've got the source code in a file.F file and run it through the C preprocessor myself. This is how we handle all our files, but I want to be substituting the string into the second file, not my primary source file. If you're not generating a temporary file anyway, you'll have to create one just for this, perhaps copying strings.F to strings2.F, modifying strings2.F, and compiling that:
strings.o: strings.F cp strings.F strings2.F perl -i -pe "s/MY_FLAGS/$(FFLAGS)/" strings2.F $(CFT) -c $(FFLAGS) strings2.F mv strings2.o strings.o rm strings2.F
Also note, the string I'm substituting in the Fortran file is
instead of just
. There might be a reason to want a literal
in your Fortran, perhaps as the name of the attribute being written to the output file - we don't want to change that! The strings.F file could contain:
character*80 :: fflags, cft cft = 'MY_CFT' fflags = 'MY_FFLAGS'
resulting in:
character*80 :: fflags, cft cft = 'f90' fflags = '-g -q64'
Using Loadleveler Job Steps
Loadleveler allows multiple job steps to be specified within a single script. Job steps can be used in many instances where job chaining would traditionally be used (e.g. preprocessing and postprocessing of job files).
We need to introduce two Loadleveler keywords to take advantage of job steps:
step_name- the name of a job step. This will be used with the dependency keyword.
# @ step_name = step1
dependency- used to specify dependencies between job steps based on the return values and other attributes of previously run jobs. The Loadleveler documentation outlines the available logical operators (see the link below).
E.g.This dependency will allow the job step to run only if the return value for
# @ dependency = ( step1 == 0 )
step1was 0 (i.e.
step1exited normally without error).
A more in depth description of these two keywords can be found on IBM's website: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/sp34/LoadL/am2ugmst02.html#ToC_159
Let's look at an example which does the following:
Copies files from long term storage (
$ARCHIVE) to temporary storage (
$WRKDIR) using the

Copies the results from temporary storage (
$WRKDIR) to long term storage (

We use this variable to # control which portion of the script gets executed for each step. # case "$LOADL_STEP_NAME" in "prep") # Preprocessing: Copy files from long term storage to $WRKDIR. # cp $ARCHIVE/myjob/* $WRKDIR/myjob ;; "comp1") # Computation: Run the application and create output files. # cd $WRKDIR/myjob ./my-job input_data ;; "post") # Postprocessing: Copy results to $ARCHIVE. # cp $WRKDIR/myjob/* $ARCHIVE/myresults/ ;; esac ## END OF FILE ########
Notice that the preprocessing, computation and postprocessing are all done by a single script, whereas traditional job chaining would require 3 scripts.
When the script is submitted to the Loadleveler, we see that there are 3 steps shown in the queue as expected.
iceberg1 2% llsubmit steps.cmd llsubmit: The job "b1n1.54195" with 3 job steps has been submitted. iceberg1 3% llq -u username Id Owner Submitted ST PRI Class Running On ------------------------ ---------- ----------- -- --- ------------ ----------- b1n1.54188.0 username 1/12 15:35 R 50 data b1n2 b1n1.54188.1 username 1/12 15:35 NQ 50 standard b1n1.54188.2 username 1/12 15:35 NQ 50 data
While the first step (
) is running the second and third steps wait in the NOT QUEUED state. If the first step exits successfully the next step (
) will begin running, however if the first step fails then the next two steps will not run because the dependencies cannot be met.
X1 Kernel & New PrgEnv Updates
On 1/19/2005 at 6PM Alaska time, the new programming environment and kernel will be updated on klondike. The kernel upgrade to UNICOS/mp 2.5 may require that some codes be relinked.
After the upgrade the programming environments will be configured as follows:
- PrgEnv.new : Updated: points to PE 220.127.116.11 was PE 18.104.22.168.
PE 126.96.36.199 will continue to be available in PrgEnv.53.first_set.
For more on programming environments and "module" commands read "news prgenv", "man module", or contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
The UNICOS/mp 2.5 kernel has the following notable changes:
Automatic stack trace on abort (rendering the
TRACKBKenvironment variable obsolete).
- Changes to the computation of memory stack and heap sizes.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A: [[ Let's rest our brains for the holiday... ]] Hopefully everyone is well rested and ready for a new Quick-Tip. Q: I am writing some code in C++ which uses a library that was written in C and compiled with a C compiler. During the linking stage I get a bunch of undefined symbols. E.g. ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .cb_compress(long*,long*,long,long) ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .cb_revcompl(long*,long*,long,long) ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .cb_version(char*) ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .cb_free(void*) It works fine when I recompile the library with a C++ compiler, but I really don't want to have two versions of the same library. What's going on here? There must be a way to use a C library with C++ without recompiling the library.

Hello,II had to talk about swarms with my mentor extensively today, because this is the first time I've ever had a hive swarm. When I've watched JP's videos, it's been from a distant interest; now I might have to go back and take notes. :needhelp:Lone
I saw 5 or so chewed out queen cells on the bottom of a frame and assumed the swarms were from this hive.

text: The rebounding will go down with no Ben. The numbers were going down last year with Ben. Flip's offensive system is not supportive of having the guards and small foward help on the glass which is what this team did when it was coached by Larry Brown. So I think the numbers will go down and just like last year we will have problems with teams that have young atheletic bigs.

(I have a sneaking suspicion this may have been talked about before. If so, sorry -- I did a search but found nothing. Feel free to merge this thread.)
I'm gearing up to paint my mystery helmet and I want to get it as "screen accurate" as possible. Who doesn't, right?
But I'm starting to question the term "screen accurate" and what, exactly, it means.
I fully intended to recreate every little fleck, crack, scratch, nick, dent, etc. But, if you think about it, there was never that much detail in any of the movies. Even most of the promotional materials don't show that level of detail.
This thinking was brought about when I had people over this weekend. I printed out a couple of reference pictures and they were laying around on my dining room table. Everyone who saw them commented on how sh!tty the helmet looked.
And they're right.
But the thing is, none of them remembered it being this battle damaged:
(big pic so I'll include it as a link)
I just want when I wear this costume for people to see the Boba Fett they saw in ESB, not Boba Fett after he was slowly digested for a thousand years.
So...any thoughts or opinions on what the best/ideal amount of weathering is? Should I go all out or should I just go for the highlights?

Summerset Winery, Indianola, Iowa
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
We knew it was the venue we wanted because of the opportunity to have the ceremony outside in such a beautiful place. Summerset just seemed so peaceful, simple, and welcoming. It was the perfect place for our style!
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
I loved the way the ceremony was set up, how everyone was spread out under umbrellas in Adirondack chairs. It allowed for a relaxed feel for the ceremony. All of the simple details were fun. My family, friends, and I made almost all of the decorations so it was fun to see it all come together. My bouquet was from our great grandmothers', grandmothers', and mothers' brooches. The bridesmaids and I all got together and everyone made their own custom fabric bouquet so each one was different. We made the boutonnieres, I made the "Here Comes the Bride" sign that the ring bearers carried, my sister-in-law made the flower girl's tutu, my grandmother painted every chalk mason jar that the guests drank out of and then took home as favors, my aunt and uncle made all of the cupcakes and cake we cut, all of the antique doors were from a farm in Nebraska where I am from, my childhood neighbors made my flower for my hair, I made my garters, with help from my grandmother I made our thumbprint guestbook tree, and my sisters made all of the signs.
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
I can't stop thinking about our ceremony. It was so relaxed, intimate, and personal. Our officiant was our good friend and Christian mentor so it was very special that he knew us so well and delivered a message and ceremony that was meaningful and powerful. We felt so loved from everyone that was there physically and in our hearts.

Gracious and loving God,
I am completely humbled by your love and grace.
In spite of how small it may seem, you look at the heart and authenticity of my willingness to offer what I can.
You miraculously take what I commit to you, and use it in ways that bring you glory. Give me faith and courage, I pray, to bring my best to you, that others may experience your love in Christ. Amen.
Randy Monk, pastor of Covenant United Methodist Church in Evans
Imagine your 90-year-old mother has Alzheimer's disease and is near death. But before she became mentally incompetent, she gave you power of attorney to sign a Do Not Resuscitate order so medical personnel would honor her wishes to die peacefully, without aggressive medical interventions in her final days.
A few weeks before Christmas, my daughter Tara called and asked if I knew a Pat Calhoun from Mount Vernon, Ga. I told her that I certainly did know Pat – we grew up about a block from each other and were boyhood friends. She then said her daughter Ann, a pupil at Lake Forest Hills Elementary School in Augusta, has a teacher, Catherine Douglas ,who said her dad was from Mount Vernon and his name was Pat Calhoun.
Pat was killed in Vietnam in 1965. He was the pilot of a helicopter that flew into battle zones to airlift wounded American soldiers away from danger.
ATLANTA — The question raised by last month's U.S. Supreme Court decision on the Voting Rights Act is what will Georgia politicians do with their new latitude?
The court did not scrap the protections for minority voters in the federal law, only the mechanism that made Georgia submit every change in its voting procedures for federal preclearance. That means alterations to polling places, precinct lines and wording on registration forms no longer have to be shipped to Washington for 90 days of consideration before they can take effect.
The day-to-day leadership of Columbia County's commendable school system is now in the hands of Sandra Carraway, who takes over this month as school superintendent.
The county's school system is widely recognized as the main attraction for new residents. For that reason, the choice of professionals and elected officials to guide that system is exceptionally important.
How much money did you make last year? Mail it in."– Stanton Delaplane's Simplified Tax Form
I hardly believe it myself.
For someone who shuns left turns; driving in the rain, after dark, or in downtown Atlanta anytime; I still wonder what kind of spunk could have caused timid me to take on the IRS some 30 years ago. I may miss a few details after all this time, but I'll never forget the fray. So, for those immersed in the widely reported flock of citizen-IRS shenanigans today, perhaps my story will offer a ray of hope.
At the Georgia Chamber of Commerce Regional Power Lunch at the Partridge Inn in Augusta, it was quickly apparent that Chamber President Chris Clark is continuing his statewide misinformation campaign for 'civil justice reform' in the upcoming legislative session. It is necessary, he claimed, because our state's business-friendly legal climate supposedly ranks 24th in the U.S.
ATLANTA — Now Georgia Democrats have a candidate to rally around in the race to replace retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss.
Branko Radulovacki entered the race last month when he filed papers with the Federal Election Commission, but his press release didn't begin to filter to political reporters until last week.
Nicknamed Dr. Rad, the Atlanta psychiatrist is a political newcomer who is still formulating his positions. He describes himself as a moderate.
The Irish author Oscar Wilde once wrote, "I can resist anything except temptation."
Wilde could have been writing about Georgia politicians when he penned those words. Elected officials in this state have proved time and again that when it comes to temptation, especially the temptation of dollars, some of them just can't resist it.
The latest example to make the news is state Rep. Tyrone Brooks (D-Atlanta), who's facing a federal trial on numerous counts of mail, wire and tax fraud that could bring a prison sentence of as long as 20 years and fines of as much as $250,000.
While Scouting has long held a reputation for outdoor self reliance, it also has taught generations the values of citizenship.
Jonathan Francisco has learned that lesson and put it into action.
The Greenbrier High student, who will be a junior this fall, said he wanted his Eagle Scout project to have an impact.
It certainly did.
Safe Kids Greater Augusta, led by the Children's Hospital of Georgia, is seeking funding to take Francisco's water-safety project to another level.

Printable View
I was watching AOTC when I noticed a strange thing related with Jango's rangefinder...
did you know it?
Looks like it moved to this position just before he fired the rocket..
Maybe for the rocket to get the range data and explode in right moment :)
I always found it curious that Jango's rocket was explosive whilst Boba's was a grappling hook?
I noticed the same thing. Kind of a blow to helmet makers, as all the helmets I've seen only allow the rangefinder to flip foreward.
Kinda strange, isn't it? You'd think this position would make the rangefinder more likely to be damaged when the rocket launches.
maybe it's to make sure the rocket's direct path is clear:confused.
I've always thought that the RF was something like an additional little screen where you can see your objective when the RF was in a horizontal postion... but here we can see that it's something like an atenna that needs to be vertical to get a better range of coverage... :rolleyes
It's a CGI Jango, the real one has a solid rangefinder, non movable.
So Jango's rangefinder does move? I have the feeling it moves also just as he shoots out his dart to grab Obi-Wan, thus preventing him getting his lightsaber.
Though what difference does that make? whether CGI or real its still Jango Fett. And that who we base our costumes off.Quote:
It's a CGI Jango, the real one has a solid rangefinder, non movable.
I don't know if I'd call that a full 180. Maybe 120. As you can see the rangefinder is still above the horizontal axis. What I want to know is what he uses to Spider-Man on that pylon. When you figure that one out let me know :D.
I have wondered about the spiderman antics as well. If there was any official explanation for that. If he can stick the the side of a wall then why did he have a hard time getting back up the side of the platform when he and Obi-Wan when overboard? In the pic above he is using his hands. When climbing up the platform, it almost looks like the gauntlets have a magnetic device that is aiding his climb. Who knows?
If it matters, in the Open Seasons comics, Jango's gloves have magnetism of some sort. Anyway, I knew about the Rangefinder moving in that scene the whole time. However, my costume is mostly based on the real one, rather than attempting to match all the CGI and practical effects wizardry. That being said, I don't fault anyone for having a moving RF. My helmet is a screen-cast though, so the RF is not designed to move at all and I didn't want to alter it.
It's just frustrating to me that whoever animated that sequence apparantly thinks the rangefinder "sees" out of the front face (when it's in the raised position), and so had it move back to keep line-of-sight on Obi-Wan... when in fact it's supposed to drop down to show what a secondary targetting system is tracking -- like the missile's onboard tracking eye, or your spaceship's sensors.
The r/f stalk housing isn't even slotted to allow it to move back past vertical.
I've always chocked the RF moving backwards to a CGI goof up... which can happen alot on films and TV shows. The graphics artist was probably told that it was to move so that Jango could target Obi Wan with his missile, but then was animated to move in the wrong direction. Guessing that they probably spent a ton of money to animate it already, and it was a realtively short scene, they probably decided to leave it. Only fans such as the members here at TDH would notice or really care. ;)
As for the magnetic gloves, it's an interesting hypothesis, but there are so many problems with that. 1) He's no less that 300lbs of man and equipment that's hanging almost upside down. This would put a TON of stress on two points of contact as small as his hands. He'd need magnetism in his legs somewhere, too. I'd really love to hear what the "official" explanation is, but from all of my research I've never seen it even mentioned. Personally, my opinion is that the purpose of the Range Finder is to lock onto the target and the missile is more of a tracking missile anyway, so why would it have to be pointed at the target when it's fired? Seems kind of a waste to me. Just fire it up and have it come down on top of the target. Oh well, this is one for the continuity department to figure out, I guess.

Officials say juvenile started Southern California wildfire
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Investigators say they have identified a juvenile as a suspect for intentionally starting the most destructive of nearly a dozen wildfires that ripped through Southern California last spring.
The San Diego County District Attorney's office said a hearing has been set for July 30 for the juvenile, whose identity has not been released.
Authorities would not say whether an arrest has been made or provide any further details.
The blaze burned 36 houses and one business in San Marcos, north of San Diego. It spread quickly in dry, windy conditions.
Investigators say the suspect is not believed to be linked to the other wildfires burning at that time.
The wildfires prompted tens of thousands of evacuations and caused millions of dollars in damage.

I have been trying to clicker train my pup. He underatands sit and come but I can't seem to get him to understand heel and down and leave it. Everytime I get close to him he tends to start bitting my clothes and hands. I can't seem to get him to pay attention.
He also like to pull on the leash and when I try to teach him to heel he is still pulling. I have tried changing direction but he jus keeps at it and tends to bite the leash from time to time.
With down I have him sit then put the treat on the ground covering it until he lays down but he never does lay instead he just goes off looking around other places. Same with leave it. I have ben watching the clicker training videos on youtube.

Friendship counselling
18 August 2013 , 9:01 AM by Rob Minshull
Many people seek counselling when their marriages or romantic relationships are in difficulty, but what about when a friendship turns toxic?
A new form of therapy in the UK and US is known as 'friendship counselling': a discussion about when to save a friendship and when to walk away.
Queensland psychiatrist Geoffrey Rees explains.

The original idea for this interview came from an article in Good Health magazine.

Really interesting segment. True, some friendships are really important to single people and single parents. Will you please put this up as a podcast.

"I have used Tiny Prints for a couple of events and I cannot complain. I just love the quality and the vibrant colors. I'm keeping one of these as a keepsake, for sure!"
"I ordered this for my son's 1st birthday party and couldn't be happier!!!! It is so cute and I have gotten several comments on how great it looks. It was a little tricky to get a photo that "worked" with the layout and writing, but other than that the design process was very simple and straightforward. We love Tiny Prints!!!"
"Very cute card! The colors are bright and vibrant. I was very pleased with the end result and have received multiple compliments from others. It was difficult choosing a photograph, as the frame or printing area is a little small, but once I found the right picture, it was perfect! I would recommend this to anyone."
"This invite came exactly as described/pictured in the example and we received a lot of compliments on it. Paper & printing quality were great, with no smudges/blurred lines/over-saturation. We added a photo of my son and revised the event info to personalize, and all of that came out exactly as we had requested with no mistakes. I ended up using the invite theme for the overall theme of my son's party because I liked it so much!"
"I have gotten so many compliments on this card. They look great and are very easy to change fonts and colors. I believe these were the invites that didn't ask for a time, so be sure to add that in."

Laws, Regulations & Annotations
Property Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2017
Revenue and Taxation Code
General Provisions
Section 24
24. Legality of proceedings. No act in all the proceedings for raising revenue by taxation is illegal on account of informality or because not completed within the required time.
Informalities.—This section applies to statutory requirements which are intended to guide fiscal officers and thereby to promote the orderly conduct of their business, as distinguished from those which have been enacted for the protection of private rights. Ryan v. Byram, 4 Cal.2d 596, 604.
It cures the erroneous listing of improvements as personal property on the assessment roll (California Domestic Water Co. v. Los Angeles County, 10 Cal.App. 185), but not the failure of the assessor to show the general character and situs of the property. People v. Central Pacific R. R. Co., 83 Cal. 393, 400. It also cures informalities in the levying of a tax. Ryan v. Byram, 4 Cal.2d 596.
Time limitations.—This section does not permit avoidance by the tax collector of the one-year limitation on seizure and sale of an oil and gas leasehold interest provided in Section 107, since the limitation is for the benefit of the taxpayer. Lieb v. Day, 130 Cal.App.2d 376.
See also the annotations to Sections 2601 (failure to attach affidavits to roll), 1604 (time within which county board of equalization must act, informalities in board's proceedings), 3436 (time of sale), 441 (informality in property statement), Government Code 54903 (filing statement and map of boundary changes).

University Researcher to Demonstrate New Technology at SC98
Fairbanks, Alaska - Most people can imagine using a computer program to produce art. But, imagine having the ability to run a 3D-computer program with your body--without the aid of a mouse or keyboard.
This is just the kind of technology that Chris Hartman, a University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Computer Science faculty member, and Bill Brody, head of UAF's Art Department, are striving for. This month Hartman will take his and Brody's ideas to Orlando, Florida, for demonstration at Supercomputing '98 (SC98), the annual international high performance networking and computing conference.
Hartman and Brody are using the virtual reality technology at the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center to design a program called Body Language User Interface (BLUI).
"It's a three-dimensional drawing program," says Hartman, "But what makes it special is that it's based on your gestures." The user draws on a virtual reality screen with a wand, and can "undo" with a shake of the head, or "quit" by dropping his or her hands to the side.
In order for BLUI to work, two TV cameras are placed at a 45 degree angle on either side of a Pyramid Systems ImmersaDesk visualization screen, giving the computer a pair of "eyes." Bill and Chris will program these "eyes" to recognize the hand as a tool. As an open hand swipes across a line on a 3D sketch, the line will widen. A grabbing motion will replace the usual "select" menu.
"Eventually Bill wants to sculpt--to do things you normally wouldn't be able to do with certain materials," says Hartman. This would mean the ability for an artist to add to a rock sculpture, when in reality an artist can only subtract rock to create a sculpture.
The researchers use video to capture human gestures, which are used to create the program. Some information is still based on how the user moves the wand and where the user looks on the screen. "Ideally, you eventually won't use the wand at all," says Hartman.
Hartman will demonstrate this new program 3 pm Wednesday, Nov. 11, on a Pyramid Systems ImmersaDesk in R780, the Department of Defense booth, at SC98.

Wednesday Wonderful: 5 links to get you through the week
2010/03/31 in Design, Great Advertisement, Internet Marketing, Social Marketing, Social Media, Uncategorized | Tags: Ammonite, Ammonite fossils, Billboard ads, Concrete Sink, Concrete was basin, Love Letters, music, OK GO, Rube Goldberg, Rube Goldberg machine, Stumble Upon, Stumble!, Wisdom Bits | 4 comments
Wednesdays, as we all know, can be a bit of a drag: halfway through the week, yet not quite time to celebrate weekend bliss. So here are five site I've complied using Stumble Upon (which in itself is a great way to get through the week) to entertain, distract, amuse, divert, engross and other like synonyms.
1.) OK GO: Having posted on the genius that is OK GO before, I'll keep this run-down brief: the band who arguably made YouTube with their 2005 video for "A Million Ways," is back with a an outrageously complicated Rube Goldberg machine-inspired video. According to Wired, the man behind the machine Rube Goldberg, or Health Robinson contraptions if you're English, became famous for designing and building "fanciful, bizarrely complex, jury-rigged contraptions to accomplish simple tasks." OK GO released the Rube Goldberg video for "This To Shall Pass" a few weeks ago and the video features a massive machine whose parts drop, twist, crash and break in a perfect, unbroken harmony to the nearly four-minute video. The video, created by a Los Angeles arts and technology collective Syyn Labs, took months to build with the help of sixty volunteers and two days to film, is explained: here. (Parts two, three and four.)
Follow them on Twitter, or become a fan on Facebook; OK GO is a band that knows social media and how to use it well by not only generating the content, but also engaging their fans so they will keep coming back, again and again and again.
2.) Billboard Ads: From Best Design Options, the 35 best billboard and related advertisements. My personal favourite:
From Best Design Options: "Bic developed this creative outdoor advertisement for their razors. The billboard is blank except for a small logo, but without it the advertisement might be missed and it acts as a good backdrop for the giant razor and cut grass. The only draw back is the constant trimming of the lawn." The other 34 ads can be found: here.
3.) Create your own Jackson Pollock: Love the art but can't afford the price tag? Then this online DIY project is perfect. Go: here and click enter to create your own abstract impressionism.
4.) Wisdom Bits: Music, as they say, is the great communicator. Check out Wisdom Bits here for "nubbins of wisdom from everlasting songmavens". Here you can find the best snippets of wisdom from Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" to Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line."
5.) This last one was intended to be a link to the cheesy, yet endearing Love Letters project, but then I clicked 'Stumble! and this sink turned up instead. (Don't let that exclamation mark deceive you; Stumble! is one of the few instances I think an exclamation mark is justified.)
The concrete sink shaped as a fossil is from HighTech. The fossil is an ammonite, an "extinct species of cephalopods which lived in the sea about 400 million years ago. Their shells are found all over the world and they are very much sought-after by fossil-hunters, their value depending on size and the state of preservation. The fascinating shape of ammonite fossils, which resembles a rolled up helix, is the basic design element in the new HighTech wash basin."
Amazing. Awesome, and another reason Stumble Upon is so addictive.
So, do you Stumble!? If so, what are the best links you've Stumbled upon lately?
If you don't use Stumble Upon, do you use a different/similar tool?

Solo the peregrine falcon took to the skies for the first time Saturday morning, gliding between two buildings on Salt Lake City's Temple Square.
The bird left a nest atop the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and flew to the neighboring Church Administration Building about 8:06 a.m., according to Bob Walters, watchable-wildlife coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. Walters said Solo initially missed the top of the neoclassical stone building and fluttered down to a ledge below, where she was later resting in the shade.
"I thought it was nice," Walters said of the flight. "It was kind of just what I'd want to see. I'd want to give her 9.5."
Solo's first flight has been eagerly awaited by Utahns, who can watch the bird's nest and progress via webcam.
Solo was the only chick to hatch this year from four eggs, something Walters said was ultimately a good thing after her father crashed into a window Friday. That falcon, known as Dad, was scheduled to undergo X-rays sometime Saturday. With Dad out of commission, all of Solo's training falls to her mother, known as Mom, who could have become exhausted with more chicks to care for.
Walters suspects Solo is a female, though he added that he won't know for certain unless officials get a chance to tag and inspect the bird. He also said glass buildings pose the greatest danger to the birds.

John Harrigan: From snakes to boars and oh so much more
JOHN HARRIGAN | August 17. 2013 1:58AM
A snake kills two kids in New Brunswick. The 100-pound, 15-foot African rock python somehow gets loose from its cage in a downstairs pet store. The kids were on a sleep-over, and an adult asleep in an adjoining room is somehow unaware.
And, apparently, it was the end of story.
Every hunting season, I get letters from hunters who've been surprised (that's a mild expression) by the sight of a big, wild pig bearing down on them. "Change your underwear" about covers it.
Hunters have shot boars as far north as Lancaster.
One of my favorite pictures during my 45-year (and still counting) newspaper career was of Lancaster's Sonny Martin, with a huge boar on the hood of his truck.

Hey Guys,
Starting out soon so I thought I would go ahead and start a thread. I have been doing some searching here on the forums and I have gathered tons of awesome info you guys have been posting and while mine isn't going to be extremely screen accurate I'm going to make it look great.
I will be using Sintra armor (For now) trying to keep it in my budget. I here he is a great member here!
Flight/Coveralls I have been seeing the Red Kap Postman blue is the way to go (On the cheap side) which is the route I will be taking until later.
This was the question I have though. Should I go with a short sleeve postman blue coverall? I was thinking it would look more accurate but I wouldn't know what to wear underneath it to match the color? Any help on this?
Thanks everyone

Has anyone looked into the SITs program for ESL?
I have applied to the Master International with the Peace Corps and SIT. Having second thoughts and also worrying about how much aid/assistance im going to get for program.
Wondering, why so much? Is it really worth it in this profession?
Is this really a profession?
Allot of people just get 4 week course and seem to have no complaints, some do not even have that.
This course would require 1 year of academic study and a internship. And give two years to Peace Corps?
And charge me close to 40k
Its seems like I would get catch a break for trying to make the world a better place.
Thoughts, comments, info would be great

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Re: Harness and Tether Recommendations?
Great addition John, thanks for posting. Beth and Evans are absolutely among the best for really well thought out advice that you can adapt to your own circumstance.
Quoted from their post, I love how they explain how, not only to built the gear and gadgets part of the system, but HOW to EFFECTIVELY use it.
"When to Use
A command (skipper and watch captains) priority is to be clear when the crew will be clipped. There are four obvious situations when they should be. (1) when there is the possibility of solid green water on deck. That can wash off even someone with a firm grip on the boat. (2) when there is the possibility of more than say a 40 degree knock over. For instance, when you are encountering unusually shaped waves, as is typical in a current or over shallow water; or breaking waves on the beam; or in particularly squally or gusty conditions; or when pushing a chute very hard in a big breeze and waves downwind. (3) when working in a particularly unstable and vulnerable position, for instance, as is sometimes the case when working out on the pulpit with a moving spinnaker pole. And (4) when recovery of a MOB might be particularly slow or difficult for instance at night with a minimal delivery crew on board. The key skill here is to recognize the possibilities of green water or hard knock-over or unstable situation well in advance, and not just react after the fact.
If you haven't read their books you really should. Most of the "how to sail around the world" books (and I've read over 200 of them) are focused on MY WAY IS THE BEST WAY. Beth Leonard's (of Beth and Evans) book is head and shoulders above all the others because it tells you what you should be thinking about, and how to make your own decisions. In fact the first few chapters in the book are about if you are mentally, emotionally and financially prepared, not anchor types and storm tactics. They also address the issues of "will you actually like the cruising lifestyle (as we found Glenn Damato did not).
Bottom line, I love their work and their book is better than the 200 others I've read by a wide magrin. Buy it, you won't regret it and even if you do, your money went to sailors who are trying to empower other sailors. The Voyager's handbook is a SOLID five stars.
Beth and Evan's book "The Voyager's Handbook"
Re: Harness and Tether Recommendations?
Jon- thank you and logical. Will incorporate their suggestions.
Re: Harness and Tether Recommendations?
Agreed - an excellent jackline primer. Thanks for posting....
Re: Harness and Tether Recommendations?
Evans Starzinger just posted a first draft of his take on this subject over on CA...
As always from he and Beth, an excellent, informed analysis and recommendations...

I would like to put in a pitch for the humble foam type III pfd combined with a traditional webbing harness.
In hot climates, the foam PFDs may not be the best, but many of us sail in less than tropical conditions and I believe they offer the following advantages:
1: The foam PFD adds a lot of insulation and can easily be layered over, or under follies for added warmth.
2: The type III can not (realistically) malfunction with its primary purpose. Flotation. No triggering device to corrode, no bladder to puncture.
3: You can swim effectively in one of these, allowing you to participate in your own rescue.
4: They can be easily integrated with a traditional webbing harness at little expense. It doesn't take much imagination to figure out how to thread the harness though some of the Type III buckle loops and make your own combo PFD/harness at low cost.
5: The foam protects your ribs and vital organs from your harness. If you do take a huge fall onto your harness, the foam will help spread the load and prevent you from cracking ribs, or worse. Speaking of which, how well do those "one size fits all" inflatable harnesses fit you? If they're below the ribs you risk a ruptured spleen or lacerated liver.
6: The foam protects your ribs and vital organs from other falls. Tether falls notwithstanding you can easily fall on a pitching, wet deck and your torso may contact the deckhouse, cockpit seat, or even a winch. Again the foam padding may protect you.
7: Comfort. Sometimes I end up wedged in some uncomfortable part of the boat, especially when racing. I'm often curled up on my side on the rail, with a piece of deck hardware poking into my ribs, or leaning against stainless lifelines. The foam PFD makes these uncomfortable positions much more bearable.
As cool and space age as the sub $500 Spinlock harnesses look, give the good old type III and webbing harness a second look.
PS One makes an excellent point about wearing a helmet. Many sailors talk about (and spend extra money and maintenance time) trying to mitigate for the possibility of going overboard unconscious. Automatic inflation is the wrong approach, as I have outlined before.
Obviously not going overboard first is the most important step (tether) but since it may happen, instead of spending the money so that the unconscious (and likely drowned) victim floats, why not spend the money and effort on a helmet, so that he's not unconscious in the first place? If we really do fear this scenario (I don't), it seems like a much better mitigation strategy.
A dock-mate of mine (a neurosurgeon I believe)used to race his J-boat single handed. He always wore a helmet. The America's Cup cat racers are also wearing helmets now too.
Helmet: I always want to wear one sailing in a heavy sea. We wear a helmet riding a bike, snow boarding, rock climbing, and etc. Why not in sailing.

Arsenal welcome West Bromwich Albion to Emirates Stadium for what is shaping up to be a crucial clash in the Premier League.
You can find out more about our opponents below.
Full name: West Bromwich Albion
Head coach: Steve Clarke
Club colours: Dark blue and white striped shirts, white shorts, white socks
Nickname(s): The Baggies
Three facts about West Brom:
- Winger Jerome Thomas started his career at Arsenal
- The Baggies were the first team to stay in the Premier League having been bottom at Christmas
- West Brom are enjoying their best ever start to a Premier League season
Peter Odemwingie
The Russia-born Nigerian international has displayed consistently good form since signing from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2010. Odemwingie became the first West Brom player to score 15 league goals in a season in 2010/11, and has netted three times in the Premier League this campaign. The experienced forward played in Nigeria, Belgium, France and Russia before joining Steve Clarke's side, and will pose a threat for Arsenal's defence on Saturday afternoon.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by vincy4fish98, Jun 29, 2013.
What some see as overdribbling is really just a whole lot of talent.
Since Siva did just play, we do not have to speculate that much. He was effective in getting the ball inside, to the tune of 4 assists in short minutes. Nobody shot over him. And this was the Heat. He was minus 2 for the game, so hardly the reason we lost the game. Since Jennings was way minus, he actually did better than Jennings in that category. If you want to find fault in this one, look at the starting point guard. Jennings did two things wrong. One, he did not orchestrate the plays such that people were in position to get back on D in case of a missed shot - and his several turns led usually to quick points by Miami. I would suggest we wait for Siva to actually have a bad game before we pile too much criticism on him.
I like Peyton Siva. He seems like a good kid. Won a National Championship. He's from my current city of Seattle. In fact, he went to HS just a few miles from where I live. That's cool. I don't see that he is a big time or even small time NBA contributor. I know we should wait for Siva to actually have a bad game before we pile too much criticism on him, but maybe we should wait for him to have a good game before we start piling on the praise. Lee, which of these games would you consider a good one for Peyton? Peyton Siva Game By Game Stats and Performance - Detroit Pistons - ESPN
I know of nobody who has piled much praise on Siva. Now, if you like Bynum, and think that since I like Siva more than Bynum, maybe in your mind that equates to me praising Siva. But I will be clear. Bynum should be waived. I like him not at all. To say Siva should have his spot as an emergency point guard is very thin praise indeed. Praise sure, but very little, by no means "piling it on."
Ok I will bite. I started this thread and I admit I am pulling for the kid to succeed. Despite all the he ain't gonna make it, he better save his money cause he is going be out of the league after this season, he needs to go to development league, bla bla bla, I hear a lot of haters out of my Piston brothers. Once upon a time, when JKidd first came in the league, the knock on him was he was a great PG but he had a broken J. It took some time for him to develop it into a serviceable J. I am in no way comparing him to JKidd, no way no how. What I am saying is before we dig the grave and bury the kid, let's see how he does with some additional time, and maybe see how he transitions in year 2 if he is still around. I see flashes from him, of running sets and making sure he feeds the ball inside. I am a contrarian, I really don't care so much if he can make shots, b/c he may need work in that dept and that isn't why we drafted him for, but a PG he is. If we can deal with Kyle "freaking" Singler, certainly we can deal with Siva. The last time I checked he plays for our team, he is a good kid with a good head on his shoulders that tries to execute on the floor.
So far this year, Charlie V's PER is 23.6 with a 3.2% turnover percentage and Siva's is -5.7 with a 60% turnover percentage. Siva's Offensive Rating is 36 and his defensive rating is 105 (only a spread of 69 points per 100 possessions). He has -0.236 win shares per 48 minutes (i.e. would hurt the team by about 19 wins per season if they were forced to play him throughout). He's 3 years older than Drummond... But my original point wasn't so much to criticize him as it was to point out that he's playing it way too safe. If you're going to get your chance in the NBA with injuries to 2 guys ahead of you, you really need to play your game and hope they like it. It was refreshing to see him take it to the rim last game. We can't even tell if PS has a broken J because he never attempts any shots. He attempts 1 jump shot for every 15 minutes of playing time. So, about 1 possession out of 25 that he's a part of. He's actually never made an NBA jump shot or attempted an NBA free throw.
The kid has skills. He looks awfully nervous when he's playing. In the eyes of this casual Internet fan, it looks like he realizes that the Stuckey/Bynum/Billups injuries was his big opportunity to make a move and he's getting crushed under the overwhelming weight of that "once in a lifetime opportunity". He just needs to go out and play his game.
Yea...all statistics and secondary segments (for the above): street ball gymnastics and mythological dreams of capturing lightening that was past.
Well, for sure: one need not look further than beyond a Nash.
Tonight's Piston winner with the most posts about him today ...the honorable Peyton Siva..with 19 and counting.............
I have supreme confidence in your analytical in-shore summations that begins and ends in some type of homer question mark. I am about to wonder the god-like status that some might be influence by your dissolution into another: Where do you speak from?
Every time he plays he stinks it up on the offensive end. He isn't a bad defensive guard, but by golly is he a waste of space on the other end. People are literally giving him 5-6 feet of space and daring him to shoot wide open jumpshots and he simply will not take it. He routinely got trapped on the wings. He routinely gets scared off the ball and he turns it over way too often. I like the guy. I like the fact that he is a good dribbler and he has real speed. He gets into the lane. He really wants to play a team game. But this guy isn't a jump shot short of being Jason Kidd. He is a jump shot short of being a serviceable back up point guard, or if nothing else, an NBA ready player. I hope that you are not insinuating that Brandon Jennings was in any way worse than Peyton Siva in this game. Siva is the definition of a guy who makes it 4 on 5. He is the Luc Mbah a Moute of point guards. Except worse. Jennings didn't have a good game. 6 turnovers. A bunch of forced 3's. And he constantly got stuck in the wings with the aggressive Miami perimeter defense. But he isn't the reason we lost. Kyle Singler makes buckets and turns the ball over less than once per game. He doesn't have a negative PER. In a quarter of the playing time, Siva turns the ball over twice as much, shoots a worse percentage, takes infinitely less free throws and generally is consistently bad. Apart from all that, I think he could be a good back up. But he needs to shoot when he is open.
Pope, Singler, Villanueva, and Harrellson are all in the top 20 in the league in terms of turnover avoidance. Pope is #2 behind only Battier. Siva is essentially tied for last with Kuzmic (who the heck is that?) at 9.3 per 48 min. 133 touches on the season for Siva and 8 shots. He passes it 17 times for every 1 shot! Charlie V passes it 1 time for every 17 shots. Can't have these 2 on the court together because every possession, the ball will find it's way to Charlie.
Did you guys ever watch him play while at Louisville? HE IS PLAYING HIS GAME!!!! It's a game taylor made for the college level. Remember this kid played 4 years of college basketball, he's not some young'n (relatively speaking of course) that came out of school early. What you see is what you got!
To be fair, this is our 4th string PG and he falls in the depth chart behind: 1) Brandon Jennings 2) Mr. big tendinitis 3) a guy who has no business being on an NBA roster
All of the last 5 posts deserve a LIKE....couldn't have said it any better myself. The smartest thing Mo did during the 4 game win streak was to pull Siva before the opposition turned his negativeness into a positive for him. Dude never took a shot and by the time we took a shot it was forced or he caused a TO for either him or a team mate. Last night vs Miami, he got more PT due to the collider injury and he decided to take a couple of shots. As soon as the two of the other three guards get back, he needs to be shipped to the D league so he can get some everyday play and learn.........otherwise he will be one of those guys who we will be talking about two years now wondering what ever happen to him.
Wow, I forgot about Stuck and his bruise. Siva is 5th string PG? He's one B. Jennings nightclub suckerpunching from having to log a 48 minute game at the point!
Rookie point guard Peyton Siva and rookie forward Tony Mitchell will participate with the Ft. Wayne Mad Ants in the NBA Development League Showcase, which begins today in Reno, Nev. The five-day event is a chance for D-Leaguers to perform in front of NBA executives. The Mad Ants play Monday and Wednesday.
Is this a shot at the Pistons front office, claiming they're not NBA executive material?

About Walla Walla ValleyView a map of Walla Walla Valley wineries
Sharing part of the valley with Oregon, Walla Walla is on the southeast side of the Columbia Valley. It is primarily red grape land, with Cabernet Sauvignon leading in the vineyards, followed by Merlot and the ever-growing and very popular, Syrah.In the 1990's, as Washington State was gaining more acclaim for its red wines, Walla Walla was hailed by wine critics for its quality and sense of place. That has not changed. Many red wines from Walla Walla show not only great complexity and elegance, but ageability. Though the region is known for the red wines, the most planted white grape here is Chardonnay.
About Washington
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

In the wake of the school shooting in Newtown, both Kansas and Missouri passed measures which would allow teachers to carry guns. As the new school year approaches, Sam Zeff spoke with district leaders about changes in school security which include spending millions of dollars on reconstruction, technology and training. Amid concerns over liability coverage, only West Plains in Missouri has agreed to allow armed teachers.
Former Kansas City Star TV Critic Aaron Barnhart and Historian Diane Eickhoff have teamed up to write The Big Divide: A Travel Guide to Historic and Civil War Sites in the Missouri-Kansas Border Region. KCPT's Angee Simmons sat down with the authors to get to the heart of their fascination with these historical sites. With 130 attractions mentioned in the book, readers get a guided tour of each state's historical museums and monuments.
This is the tale of two eyes and the man who made them. Bud Turntine is a board-certified ocularist who creates prosthetic eyes for patients out of his nondescript office in Shawnee, Kan. When you think of prosthetic eyes, images of round, glass eyeballs may come to mind. Indeed, fake eyes used to be made of glass – over 60 years ago. Now, they are made from acrylic. Quite a bit of work, and artistry, goes into creating an ocular prosthesis and one area man, Bud Turntine, an aspiring artist in his youth, turned his talents into a 30-year career of creating what he calls 'wearable art'. Health desk reporter Todd Feeback takes us into his world as he creates eyes for two very different patients.

San Diego Chargers running back Ryan Mathews suffered yet another injury when he was concussed during his team's eventual loss to the Oakland Raiders. After exiting the game in the second quarter, he did not return. Mathews appeared to take a knee to the helmet on the play. He finished the game with three carries for eight yards.
Fantasy Analysis:
There no details yet pertaining to his playing status in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts. Mathews has been his usual self this season, rushing for just 3.5 yards per run on his 67 carries. He has been a low-ranking RB2 this season and moving forward, if Mathews is forced out of action, Danny Woodhead becomes the starter with Ronnie Brown behind him.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Apr 9, 2014.
This page is a good explanation that will answer your questions. Rules For Trading Future Draft Picks | Hoops Rumors
Because it's not linear... Try any stat you like and you will see this pattern, I just took the 3 easiest stats to find: PPG 1. 31.9 10. 22.6 51. 16.5 60. 15.8 RPG 1. 13.7 10. 10.1 51. 6.8 60. 6.4 APG 1. 10.7 10. 7.5 51. 4.2 60. 3.9
I see. Suppose there's a point there. I'm not enough of a stat geek to know where to even begin with assigning the weights though.
You could do a non-linear discriminant function analysis with multidimensional scaling (non-metric) and correspondence modelling for confirmatory hierarchical agglomeratives.
you guys actually read this!? It just says that you can't trade back-to-back future picks. We can trade our pick this year if we get it.
Have fun.
blue, are you telling me your not familiar with non-linear discriminant function analysis? GTFO!!!
1 - Yeah the rules regarding draft picks in trades have changed since the Sheed trade 2 - We can't trade our pick this year (even if we get it) because we don't know if next years pick will be ours 3 - If this pick is sent away because of the trade, we can't trade next years pick because that is two in a row. 4 - The best players, sure. Because they become less athletic. 231/333/0/333/0/333/0/319/334/303/333/364/403 I'm not seeing a clear trend there.
With all due respect, you misunderstand the rule. You can trade your 1st rd pick every yr for the next 50 yrs if u want to. U just to have to do it one at a time. Reasonably (I'm assuming) close to draft time. The rule is just there to prevent the lakers or whoever from trading 10 future 1st rd picks to Oklahoma City for Durant. They could still do that, it'd just have to be done over 20 yrs, making the trade less appealing. If the lakers step up to the podium every year for the next 10 yrs and don't like what's on the board. They can make 10 separate trades on 10 separate draft days and not make a first rd selection for a decade though
Is this how it works in a world where everything fits to your plan? - Yes. Is this how it works in the real world? - No.
You can't trade a future draft pick more than 7 years out.
I think you can if you dress like Harry Potter.
I remembered seeing that, but the language in the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement is so confusing.
you're wrong, dude..
You should start a new thread and explain it to him!!
It's known as the Ted Stepien Rule and it prohibits teams from trading away consecutive future first round draft picks. Note the key words of 'trading' 'consecutive' 'future' 'first' 'round' 'draft' 'picks'. It actually couldn't be clearer. So no, you can't trade every first round pick for 50 years except year by year. Are there exceptions? Yes. Do any of them apply here? No. But because we don't know the outcome of our trade with Charlotte (will they get it next year or the year after or even this year) we can't trade anymore first rounders. See New York Knicks, 2011. So in your 4 examples, I was wrong about #2 and even the extent of that is in question.
Sorry, blue... everyone else in this case is right. The work-around that you might be confusing the issue over is that once you draft a player, you can immediately trade that player. So the Pistons could draft a player WITH that pick and immediately trade him without violating the Stephien Rule, but they can't actually trade that pick.
Note the key words of 'trading' 'consecutive' 'future' 'first' 'round' 'draft' 'picks'. Can I trade my 2021 and 2022 1st rd. picks to someone tomorrow? No. Can I trade my 2021 and 2023 1st rd picks to someone tomorrow? Yes. Can I trade my 2021 1st rd pick on draft day 2021, and then trade my 2022 1st rd pick on draft day 2022 a year later? Yes.
You'd be trading rights to a 9 year old.

Mission Accomplished—iWarriors Return from Balboa Naval Hospital!
This wonderful organization just got back from a trip to the West Coast where they handed out 16 iPads to deserving wounded veterans. Won't you be a part of this ongoing effort to honor those who have fallen fighting for our freedom?
Sherry L. Baranek
Senior Writer, MoldMaking Technology magazine
Senior Writer, MoldMaking Technology magazine
Kim and Tim Bartz present an iPad to a deserving veteran.
Kim and Tim Bartz—co-founders of iWarriors—just returned from a trip to Balboa Naval hospital in San Diego where they once again donated iPads to wounded veterans. As always, Kim shares that she was so inspired by spending time these heroes and hearing their stories. "One Marine in particular wants his lower leg to be amputated so he can be spared the pain and immobility he is experiencing," Kim says. "He sees what a prosthetic has done for others and wants the same for himself so that he may be able to run and play with his young children once again."
Kim explained to me that not only do iPads help veterans keep in touch with family and friends while they cannot be with them while they attend rehab, they can also be used to download apps that improve cognitive and memory skills for those who have suffered a TBI (traumatic brain injury).
The couple also stopped at Workshop for Warriors—a non-profit vocational training center for veterans that provides manufacturing trades education and hands-on-training to prepare graduates for careers in welding, CAD/Solidworks/Mastercam software, milling, machining, machinery repair, CNC plasma cutting, woodworking, diesel and gasoline engine repair, and fabrication.
Kudos to Kim and Tim—as well as all mold manufacturers who donate to this worthy cause! Please contact them if you are interested in joining iWarriors on a future trip.

In a secret session, the Parliament of Pakistan was given a briefing by General Pasha, the new head of the ISI, who discussed in detail problems created by the presence of al-Qaeda and the Taliban in northwest regions of the country. He informed Parliament the Taliban had gained complete control of certain districts and the Pakistan army was trying to respond to this threat. Pasha told the MPs that Taliban terrorists brain wash young people in order to create a mind-set that is against the government and ready to die in the service of terrorism. A major problem continues to be created by influx of terrorist groups from Afghanistan. In contradiction to many American claims he said the rules of engagement clearly state only Pakistan forces can take action against targets in their nation. No permission has been given to American forces to strike into Pakistan.
General Pasha described a Taliban program of creating chaos by destroying gas and power installations. He also claimed some western groups were aiding the Taliban but did not specifically mention names to support his contention.
