More female instrumentalists: The Hush Sound, Eisley, Bikini Kill, Yoko Kanno
Casey of Pop-Punk Junkie (a friend from school) suggested several artists. One of my favorites was The Hush Sound, who have a lady vocalist/keyboardist, Greta Salpeter. Following is their song "Wine Red":
Casey also recommended Eisley, which consists of three sisters, (lead guitar) Chauntelle DuPree, (guitar and vocals) Sherri DuPree, and (keyboard and vocals) Stacy DuPree, and their two brothers. They performed the song "Marvelous Things" at SXSW last year:
Bikini Kill is a classic riot-grrl band with Kathleen Hanna, Kathi Wilcox, and Tobi Vail. It is a failure on my part that I did not mention this obvious choice. This is "I Like Fucking":
Cessen of Privileged White Male left a rhapsodic comment about Yoko Kanno. He wrote in part: "She plays the piano. But more over, she is a brilliant composer, crossing almost every genre. She has done blues, pop, orchestral of many kinds, rock, electronic, folk, jazz, new age, etc. etc. etc. and she does them all BRILLIANTLY." He also suggested the following video, a Cowboy Bebop instrumental medley:
Look for another post with more music...at some point!

Lyrics to "Wine Red" by The Hush Sound":ReplyDelete
Who shot that arrow in your throat?
Who missed the crimson apple?
It hung heavy on the tree above your head
This chaos, this calamity, this garden once was perfect
Give your immortality to me; I'll set you up against the stars
We lied, we can't go on
This is the time and this is the place to be alive
Who shot that arrow in your throat?
Who missed the crimson apple?
And there is discord in the garden tonight
The sea is wine red
This is the death of beauty
The doves have died
The lovers have lied
I cut the arrow from your neck
Stretched you beneath the tree
Among the roots and baby's breath
I covered us with silver leaves
We lied, we can't go on
This is the time and this is the place to be alive
The sea is wine red
This is the death of beauty
The doves have died
The lovers have lied
The sea is wine red
This is the death of beauty
The doves have died
The lovers have lied
The sea is wine red (Gloria, we lied)
This is the death of beauty (we lied, this is the time and place)
The doves have died (Gloria, we lied)
The lovers have lied (this is the time and place)
Lyrics to Eisley's Marvelous Things
I awoke the dawn
Saw horses growing out the lawn
Ah ah .....
I glimpsed a bat with butterfly wings
Oh what, marvelous things
Ah ah....
Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
My baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
I followed a rabbit
Through rows of mermaid entwined Shrubbery
Ah ah....
Oh what marvelous things but, they are, they are, they are
Giving me the creeps
Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
My baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
Oh...lying in the sun
Everday feeling all of the magic in life
and wonder.....
Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
My baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely..
Ah ah.....
Ah ah.....
Ah ah.....
Ah ah.....
Ah ah.....
Ah ah.....
Ah ah.....
Ah ah.....
Lyrics to "I Like Fucking" by Bikini Kill
Hey! Do you believe there's anything
Beyond troll-guy reality? I do. I do. I do.
It gets so hard, just to be okay
Sometimes being happy baby is what
I'm most afraid of
Baby, you know, It gets so hard for
Me to fight--I don't know how I
Guess I never did--Why don't you
Show me how--how to lose control
(she's so very I don't care)
Just 'cause my world, sweet sister, is so fucking
Goddamn full of rape--Does that mean
My body must always be a source of pain?
No. No. No.
(She's so very I don't care, She's so very I don't care)
Just 'cause I named it right here sweet
Chickadee don't mean for a minute you
Should think I'm the opposite of
Anything--but if you wanna know for sure
I'll tell you
We're not gonna prove nothing nothing
Sittin around watching each other starve
What we need is action/strategy
I want I want I want
I want it now.
I believe in the radical possibilities of pleasure, babe.
I do. I do. I do.
You learn something new every day! I always loved the music in Cowboy Bebop; it's a well-crafted show and the music is always perfect for it. Green Bird is one of my favorite songs of all time :] it's great to link that music to the artist.ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting the follow up to this and I look forward to more of the same!
She's awesome, right? Cessen had a bunch more to share in his email:ReplyDelete

You know, you might want to consider investigating the riot grrrl movement more deeply to see which bands came before, which came after, and the sort of bands who owe the riot grrrl movement a great big thank you card. After all, riot grrrl was in response to the sexism at punk shows and in the music industry in general-- as a result, riot grrrl bands were demonized as being more political than musicially inclined, thereby dismissing the music they DID make and negating the messages entirely.ReplyDelete
Plus, they're so heavily linked to zine-making, which was so democratic, so cheap, and pre-blog, that the riot grrrls may prove to be more and more important in retrospect as the years go on. I THINK there's a riot grrrl museum or something somewhere; I know Kathleen Hanna (I THINK) just donated all her old zines to be preserved.
I understand where you're coming from, Miranda. Riot grrl could definitely be an entire post on its own. I think when doing a mad rundown survey of "women who play instruments" that's not the time, but you're right. (As a side note, a lot of the people further down the list are riot grrl-esque bands, like Sleater-Kinney, Hole, etc - but as RMJ noted she's just exposing people to non-vocalist women).ReplyDelete
I do think that a lot of the time, however, we think of riot grrl as the only real generation of women in music, particularly alternative music. As people pointed out in the first post, women in all areas of music, and women in all genres of rock, have been around FOREVER. Ignoring the women who were in classic rock bands in the 60s and 70s, in hardcore bands despite the
sexism, were band leaders with all male bands, or merely don't subscribe to the riot grrl movement or aesthetic is negating their experience as well.
Which is not to say that riot grrl isn't important, but merely that in my experience the adjective "riot grrl" became a form of validation for an all-female or mostly-female band, and a venue for it being acceptable for women to be in rock.
We should definitely be respecting ANY way a woman wants to express herself, and if she's inspired by riot grrl that's cool, but that's not the most important thing we need to notice: surely it's the music that counts.
Tangentially, though, if you want to share your knowledge of riot grrl history, I'm sure no one would be opposed :D
Miranda, I think my problem with your comment is that it vastly oversimplifies the history of women in rock. Firstly, you suggest some kind of timeline of riot grrrl, but that's like attempting to define the origin of punk music (do we count bands like Iggy and the Stooges, which we now retroactively refer to as proto-punk, do we start with the first band to call itself punk or the first band to make music currently defined as punk?). History is subjective, which is pretty basic to the concept of feminism. It can be defined by whoever is in charge of making that definition. Trying to organize an organic, political, social, and musical movement by date or place more or less value on a certain group is both arbitrary and dangerous.ReplyDelete
Second, it implies that riot grrrl occurred in a vacuum, and comes off as though you are saying that other women who have made music since that time somehow owe more to riot grrrl than to any earlier female musicians or to any male musicians that might have inspired them. Female musicians today owe no more (or less) to riot grrrl than they do to Patti Smith, Joan Jett, or Lorna Doom. There have been women in rock for decades, and implying that riot grrrl is somehow more important that other female musicians of the past and present is limited in scope and insulting to hundreds of other women musicians.
Finally, this post isn't about riot grrrl, nor was the one that spawned this. It was about the specific artists mentioned by a wide array of commenters and RMJ's intent to cover a spectrum of those artists in coming weeks. If you want to write a thorough primer on riot grrrl, I'm sure RMJ would be happy to see and perhaps publish it, but your comment is pretty narrowly focused on a single aspect of the huge topic that is being addressed.
- MirandaJuly 13, 2010 at 10:39 PM
Interestingly, any comment on a blog about the history of women in rock is likely to be a deep oversimplification, as we don't have enough characters among any of us to detail it.ReplyDelete
However, if you reread my comment, I did mention the words "before" and "after" and "those who owe", implying a vague timeline, which I didn't feel the need to do on a blog post that wasn't about riot grrrl. I was in no way attacking the blog, just reminding that the riot grrrl movement is a cool place to do an in-depth exploration of one facet of women's history in rock.
Thank you for jumping to conclusions and pedantry.
uhh hey?ReplyDelete
this comment has nothing to do with the riot grrrl movement or a timeline of females in rock and roll history or anything..
..but, rmj, did anyone tell you to look at fiona apple? i mean, it's laughable when you consider all the 7th grade angsty bullshit that comes with her, but she is a very talented pianist and songwriter.
Hooray, "Wine Red" is my favorite Hush Sound song!ReplyDelete
Also, if you liked Bikini Kill, listen to Le Tigre if you're not already. It was (is?) Kathleen Hanna's post-BK band and is just as riotously feminist.
I do agree with Miranda that there could be future posts about riot grrrl and the awareness it brought to feminism and women in rock. I love hearing and talking about the history of musical genres though. Lunamorgan, you are correct to say that riot grrrl did not occur in a vaccuum, but as a social force it was mostly limited to a particular time, so Miranda is not incorrect to refer to it as happening at a specific point in time. Organizing events by these markers is not incorrect because events have to happen somewhere at some time to be events. And if we're talking about women who play instruments, then women who were or are in riot grrrl bands are certainly to be included in that conversation.

What is the best dlc to buy? was thinking off Close Quarters or Back to Karkand. What gives the most for engineer class.
CQ does not even have a vehicle, while AM maps are smaller than B2k and they have less vehicles.
although in terms of overall fun, i think AK is the least fun DLC. B2K and AM are a lot of fun.
overall B2k ?

B2k weps are mediocre at best for engineer (QBZ-95B and G53)
shared weps are ok (PP-19 decent, MK3A1 sucks)
CQ weps on the other hand are amazing
MTAR-21 rapes in CQC
ACW-R looks great and have a place in long range combat(lower dmg per shot but very small dmg drop off at range)
people consider SPAS-12 overpowered ;p
and M5K is quite funny (hip fire god but small mag)
Thanks guys, hmm SPAS-12 does sound fun but i think im getting B2K for some nostalgia and some vehicles to blow up. Will get premium as soon as i get more cash.
So, End Game for PC is out on 12th right?
"Loss of blood... My only weakness!"
~ Warlord Khan, Magicka
Anyway, if you don't already see where I'm going with this, allow me to spell it out: the only meaningful MMORPG "endgame" -- i.e., something novel to do after the progression process is over -- is that of the sandbox.
Is BF3 dead? I'm checking on the servers and there's not very many. I really want to play armored kill(it looks amazing) but I can't find any servers. I missed out when armored kill launched, It was probably very busy.
These are just US servers:
I can't wait for Endgame, I think CTF is going to be incredibly fun. I hate that PS3 gets it first >.<! BF3 is built for PC!
if it was me i would have created 3 flags with huge capture region (like at least 400m^2 for each flag) and 32 v 32 tanks.
What's with the negativity on Armored Kill? It doesn't look bad at all to me. Alborz Mountain looks so amazing, the mobile artillery is so cool, and tank superiority looks awesome. Granted I never played armored kill, but I don't get the hate.
I watched some of levelcap's videos on it and I was so hyped to buy it.

I'm happy I took the advise of other reviewers and ordered up in size. For our average-sized 21 month old, we ended up order a 4T and it fit pretty much perfectly... which is crazy that the sizing is so off but boy oh boy it doesn't even matter to me because he looks so stinking adorable in it!

This swimsuit is so cute!!! I was very excited about it! Received it today and found that the suit is very small. I ordered size 2T for my 18mos old. My 18 month old is tall for his age, but according to the size chart with the suit 2T should have fit him. Love the look, but so disappointed in the size.Update: Since receiving the swimsuit the company contacted me about my experience. I told them about the suit being too small and they have worked with me to come up with a solution that is more than satisfactory to me.I would highly recommend this swimsuit, just be sure to order a larger size than you think you need. The company was great to work with.

Let's face it: Bolts are ideal. They pull the armor tight, you don't have to worry about it coming undone, so long as the armor material and glue can take it. Therein lies my question...
I have 3mm Sintra armor, and I know (thru others) that snaps do a great job with it. Bobamaker's bolt tutorial is very similar to the popular snap method, but it brings the armor in tighter.
Does anyone know if 3mm Sintra can handle the stress of Bobamaker's bolt method? I'll probably be using JB Weld, as my armorsmith recommended it for his Sintra armor.
I'm sure that the more surface area the "glue" covers, the more force it'll take to rip the bolt off (or tear up the sintra).
My other question is: How MUCH closer do bolts pull the armor to the vest? Photos of armorsets would help here, preferribly those that have been heatmolded to the Mando's body. It doesn't say much about the attachment method if the armor is too flat (because its tension pulls away from the vest).

I was wondering if anybody had some advice on how to fix a tear. My bucket has a few tears in the t visor by the ear pieces and I was thinking of just using some crazy glue to fix them and then sanding off any extra glue.
Does anybody have a different suggestion

There are four boxes on the hive, but the fourth is foundation. They don't seem crowded though. Out of usable space yes, but not crowded.
sounds like they burned through their stores because of the rain. We just discussed this at my club meeting last night. They eat it and the queen immediately fills it with eggs. Maybe rotate the bottom box to the top and under the box of foundation. The bees like to work up.

Carpenter Scott Kahle wanted a better way to work with and move his portable table saw. The result is his new rolling, collapsible Kwik-Stand.
In the open position, the unit is a wide, stable surface for ripping, including an integral outfeed that's just the right height. Collapsed, the Kwik-Stand is a low-riding, two-wheeled cart that makes moving your saw around a breeze.
Setup. Kahle designed the Kwik-Stand for the new generation of larger-capacity portable table saws. His setup instructions could be clearer, but after some trial and error, it all came together.
The saw platform is an open steel frame to which you screw planks with self-tapping screws. Next, screw or bolt your saw to these planks; the planks must be the correct thickness or set at the proper height to raise your saw deck level with the outfeed support. It took some fiddling around to get my saw set right; an adjustable outfeed bar would've made setup easier.
Ripping Good Outfeed. The best thing about the Kwik-Stand is how easily it opens and collapses. Once I mastered the technique, I rolled it into position and ripped 300 feet of 10-foot 2-by to make stops for the porch screens I was installing. The round outfeed support (it's fixed, not a roller) doubles as the pull handle when the stand is collapsed. Opened, it's spaced just far enough from the saw that none of the material wanted to tip off the front of the stand at the end of the cut. It also was close enough to the saw so that when I ripped a thin piece of cedar clapboard, the material didn't sag and jam. In fact, because the outfeed support is round, even if your setup isn't perfect, the support will catch the material and carry it over the support.
At 26 1/2 inches wide, the outfeed will support a full sheet of plywood on a 24-inch-wide rip, but ripping a full sheet of 3/4-inch birch ply is a two-man job. If I needed to do this all the time, I'd offset the saw to the right of the platform so I could get as much support under the entire sheet as possible. Also, the stand starts to tip forward at the end of the cut. I'd fit a piece of 2-by between the outfeed bar and the ground for extra support or screw a pair of skids to the legs.
Another nice feature of this stand is that it's open. If you use plywood instead of planking for your base, you can easily attach a vac or dust collector to catch sawdust; both the hose and the suction unit can be tucked out of the way under the outfeed support.
Rolling Around. Collapsing the saw is easy and rolling it around really made me wonder why I'd been carrying my saw all these years. The saw rides low, so there's little risk of tipping, even on a hill or rough terrain. And the solid-rubber 12-inch wheels make obstacles like stairs or debris easy to roll over. Setting it up anywhere outside, on a wood deck, or on the first floor is easy. The hard plastic feet may make things a little easier on the surfaces you've set up on, but I bet they'll wear out after a while, exposing a sharp metal edge. If you plan to be climbing stairs to the second floor a lot, the Kwik-Stand is tight on a 3-foot-wide stair, but still makes it.
My only complaint about the Kwik-Stand is a minor one: It's big. It's 56 inches long collapsed and takes up a lot of space in a van or truck bed because you have to lay it down. Nevertheless, at that height, it's pretty easy to pull up into your truck bed without help. I don't think its size would be a problem in most shops; when open, it's hardly bigger than a table saw on sawhorses. I left the saw set up in my small shop and it was great.
Wish List. As is, the Kwik-Stand is a winner. It's simple, tough, and makes jobsite table-saw use significantly easier. But after covering it in sawdust and moving it around for a while, I saw some things that I'd add if I could weld. First would be an adjustable infeed support for long work or for staging plywood before the cut; it also would protect the saw fence and adjustment knobs so you could store the saw upright off the wheels. I might make the outfeed support adjustable up or down, too, so I could quickly install any saw I want on there, or so I could use it with a miter saw or even a thickness planer.
There are two release hooks you need to disengage before opening up the unit from the cart position. I'd connect them with a bar, so this action becomes one swift movement. Since there are a few pinch points on the tool, I'd also add some caution stickers. And if there were locking casters on there for use in the open position, there'd be nothing this tool couldn't do for a portable table saw on site or in the shop.

Artie opens his eyes and shouts, "Fish outta water, Tone, you're it!" It was like they were all 8 years old again. 2. The Rod Stewart tune at the end of the episode was fantastic, as Tony B was whacking Joey Peeps. I was smiling ear to ear. How 'bout it, Brain?

U.S. Rep. Ann McLane Kuster also took the oath of office as a member of the 113th Congress, after defeating former Rep. Charles Bass in November.
Kuster narrowly lost to Bass in 2010.
Kuster said she was appointed to the House Agriculture Committee, while Shea-Porter will return to the Veterans Affairs Committee.
Kuster said in a statement, 'It's a great honor to join the U.S. House of Representatives and to serve the hard-working people of New Hampshire's Second District.
'We face many challenges as a state and country, but there is so much we can achieve if we're willing to put politics aside and do what's right for middle class families,' she said. 'From creating jobs and reducing the deficit, to strengthening our education system and protecting the environment, we have a chance to come together to move our state and country forward. I'm eager to get to work with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to do just that.'

Happy Halloween!
For today's Halloween post I thought I'd share a bit about the forensic aspects of haunted houses. I didn't think there was such a topic until I stumbled over a law review article by Daniel Warner entitled, "Caveat spiritus: a jurisprudential reflection upon the law of haunted houses and ghosts." [28 Val. U.L. Rev. 207].
For the purposes of the law, haunted houses are a kind of property problem known as a "psychologically impacted property." According to Warner, this is real estate tainted with troubled pasts: murders, felonies or suicides. The question is, when you have a house like this are you required to disclose the past to the buyer?
According to the 1983 California case Reed v King, you do. This apparently was the first case addressing the issue. A buyer tried to get out of a house deal after she found out that a woman and her four children had been murdered there ten years before. The court agreed that she had a point because the seller failed to disclose this. After this many states passed laws protecting sellers and their agents from claims over "psychologically impacted property." The problem being, of course, that things like poltergeists and other creatures can't be detected in your typical home inspection.
Then again in 1991, a man bought a house in New York and later found out the previous owner had failed to disclose the presence of a ghost, something well-known in the community. The house was even featured regularly on neighborhood ghost tours. The buyer's wife was very uncomfortable with this even though the seller reassured them after the fact that the ghost was friendly. The court ruled in the buyer's favor, stating that even though the house wasn't haunted 'in fact', the judge decided it was haunted as a matter of law. (The news story about it can be read here.)
So who ya gonna call? According to Mary Pope-Handy, licensed realtor specializing in haunted property, the first person to call is a spiritual professional who may be able to convince the "discarnate" to move on. Unless, of course, you bought the house because you knew it came with a ghost.

LED Downlights
How to Select
How to select LED Downlights
With the diverse selection of LED downlights on the market today, creating the ambiance of your dreams is easier than ever. The greatest thing about such type of lights, apart from the functionality and convenience that they offer, is the ability to install them in either IC or non-IC rated locations. To know what type of LED downlight will suit your location, follow the buyer's guide that we have prepared for you.
The most important detail to pay attention to when selecting LED downlight is wattage. Because the LED technology is well known for its amazing energy saving features, any lighting fixture that uses LED light bulbs spends low amount of energy. However, since downlights are mostly used in decoration purposes, it is good to know how much energy they will use. For example, where a conventional downlight uses 50 or 60 Watt, a LED downlight only spends 5 or 6 Watt.
The next important factor to consider when selecting a downlight for your house is its brightness. Since such type of lighting is all about the atmosphere, brightness of a particular fixture is essential in creating the lighting ambiance that you need. The brightness of a LED light is measured in Lumens. What Lumens show is the amount of light that can illuminate one square foot of the area. If you are looking for LED downlights with warmer color, look for light bulbs with lower lumen index and vice versa.
The light that comes from a LED downlight is usually shaped in beams. This is why you need to consider the beam spread of a lighting fixture before selecting any of such devices. Beam spread is the angle of light that will come from your future LED downlight. The common beam spread value for standard ceilings with a height not more than 3 meters is 60 degrees. However, since the downlight fixtures are seldom used as the main lighting source of the room and are instead widely installed in decoration purposes, you need to look for devices with smaller beam spread value.
The color of the light is another important factor to consider. The color options that are offered today can vary from warm to cool white. For a LED downlight that is used as a backlight for interior or landscape applications a cooler scale is more suitable. In other cases, for example, to create a romantic atmosphere in the room, look for LED downlights with warmer color.
When all of the major details of your future LED downlight are specified, you might want to consider the last factor – the price of such device. Devices that use LED technology are more expensive than the same conventional fixtures, but your return on investment will be reached within the first month of usage.

- Quick Tip
ARSC Interns Nationally Recognized
Fairbanks, Alaska- ARSC summer interns Jose Antonio Figueroa and Vahid Ajimine are two of only four students selected from a national field of HPC scholars to be recognized by DoD's High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) at its 2010 Users Group Conference (UGC) in Schaumburg, Ill.
For more details, please see the following press release: http://www.arsc.edu/arsc/news/20100615jeom
Bandwidth Comparison of ARSC Machines
[ By Tom Logan ]
With the start of production of ARSC's newest supercomputer, Pacman, it was appropriate to perform bandwidth testing to determine the speed of the interconnect network. At the same time, tests were run on ARSC's other two big irons, Pingo and Midnight, for comparison purposes.
The bandwidth testing program used for these comparisons was an ARSC in house MPI based program called DCPROG, short for the Distributed Congestion Program. DCPROG tests bandwidths by sending messages of varying sizes (from 1K to 4M 4-byte data items) a number of times (50 in this case) and calculating the average bandwidth at each message size. For further consistency, DCPROG was run 6-8 times for each configuration and these results were also averaged.
The tests were performed in two different configurations - one to test only off-node communication (interconnect bandwidth) and one to test only on-node communication (memory bandwidth and the MPI implementation).Off-Node Communications
Off-node bandwidths were tested using one processor per node communicating with single processors on other nodes. For these tests, only the message size that achieved the maximum bandwidth was graphed. For off-node this was almost invariably the largest message size on Pacman and Midnight, while for Pingo these varied randomly from 10,000 to 100,000 data items.
The Off-Node Aggregate Bandwidth above shows the maximum average global bandwidth achieved during the experiments by number of nodes used. Of the three systems tested, one can see that the interconnect network on Pacman gave the best bandwidths for experiments with 4 or more nodes. Although some of the consistency seen in the Pacman data can be attributed to a light load on that system during these experiments, the results are certainly still encouraging.
The Off-Node Average Bandwidth above shows the maximum average bandwidth per processor involved in the experiment. This graph plainly shows that, compared with the other systems, Pacman gave the best results when using 4 or more nodes. It also shows that the Pacman numbers are entirely consistent independent of the number of nodes used, while each of the other systems' performance degrades as the number of nodes used increases.On-Node Communications
On-node bandwidths were tested by sending messages between PEs within a single node of a system. Again, only the message size that achieved the maximum bandwidth was graphed. For on-node communications, Pingo favored messages of 20,000 data items, Pacman varied from 5,000 to 100,000 data items, and Midnight preferred messages from 1,000 to 20,000 data items for the best bandwidths.
The On-Node Total Bandwidth data above shows the total bandwidth achieved when passing messages only internal to a node. Tests were run using from 2 cores to the number of cores available on the node being tested, including running tests on both the 4-way and 16-way nodes of Midnight. As before, Pacman outperformed Midnight for nearly all cases. However, unlike the off-node communications, we see a very large disparity in that the Pingo numbers are at least 3.5 times higher than the other systems. One can conclude that the Cray architecture and/or MPI implementation bandwidth is far superior to the other ARSC platforms.
Finally, the On-Node Average Bandwidth data above shows the maximum average on-node bandwidth achieved during these experiments. Again, we see that Pacman consistently meets or exceeds twice the bandwidth of the Midnight 16 way nodes, while Pingo is roughly 3.5 times the bandwidth of Pacman.
In conclusion, this testing has shown that Pacman's interconnect performance exceeds that of Midnight and Pingo in most cases, although a light system load may play some part in this finding. Also, on-node communications are better on Pacman than Midnight, but far better on Pingo than on either of the other systems. It should be noted that these numbers represent a snapshot of these three systems and their default software stacks and settings.
Still More About Git[ By Kate Hedstrom ]
I've written about git here twice before, where I described needing to deal with legacy svn repositories. These articles can be seen here: http://www.arsc.edu/arsc/support/news/hpcnews/hpcnews404/index.xml#article1 http://www.arsc.edu/arsc/support/news/hpcnews/hpcnews410/index.xml#article2
Perhaps it's time to get a little more specific about how I'm using it so you can all be suitably horrified.
First of all, I started playing with git before I found a system with a working git-svn command. I created a repository with a main trunk which mimics the svn code, plus a branch with exploratory code we're not ready to share via svn just yet. I have these codes in a bare "origin" repository in my home directory on my desktop system. A bare repository has the database, but no working files - it is unsafe to push to a non-bare repository.
I can do a "git clone" of the "origin" out to any of the supercomputers here at ARSC. The "origin" repository doesn't know about any of the clones, but each clone can pull updates from the "origin" and push changes back into it. Good practice means making sure the "origin" is always up to date with any changes made anywhere.
It turns out the system with the working git-svn is a laptop, though security prevents the laptop from hosting the "origin". The laptop also has a clone of "origin" in addition to the repository generated by "git svn clone" and a third repository from "git svn clone" on a colleague's trunk version. These three repositories know something about each other. How does that work? Say we create them with:
git clone <desktop:dir> git_code git svn clone <my_branch_url> svn_code git svn clone <main_trunk_url> trunk_code
We'll assume that everything is on the master branch below, but it could be on some other active branch.
I can go into git_code and type:
git remote add svn_code ../svn_code git remote add trunk_code ../trunk_code
Likewise, I go into svn_code and type:
git remote add git_code ../git_code git remote add trunk_code ../trunk_code
Because my view of trunk_code is read-only, I have no need for it to know about the others.
Note that the "git clone" operation automatically generates a remote called "origin".
Remote Tracking Branches
I'm not quite set up yet to use the remotes. They need to be turned into remote tracking branches, branches in the local repository which point to the remotes. To do this, go into each directory with remotes and type:
git remote update
This will create a new tracking branch for each of the remote sites. These branches show up with "git branch -r" or "git branch -a" but not with simply "git branch". They look something like:
git branch -a * master remotes/git-svn remotes/git_code/master remotes/trunk_code/master
I can check out one of the remotes:
git checkout /remotes/trunk_code/master
This gives a strange message about being in a "detached HEAD" state with some explanation of your options at this point. If you want to turn it into a permanent branch here, type:
git checkout -b new_branch_name
Incorporating Svn Updates
Suppose you decide to check for updates from the main trunk, after a period of weeks (or years) and you want to bring those changes to your code. Using svn, an "svn update" would bring a copy of that trunk directory up to date all in one fell swoop. Ditto with a merge from the old to the current, even if some dozens of updates have been checked in.
Using git, you invoke the following from the trunk_code directory:
git svn rebase
This will bring over the changes one at a time, with the svn check-in message attached to each change.
Next, go to the svn_code directory and type:
git remote update
Now you can apply the changes via "git cherry-pick", one change at a time. Conflicts get resolved as they are encountered, commit by commit. This could get tedious if you let it go too long....
Once that's done, it's time to commit these changes to your svn repository:
git svn dcommit
In the git_code directory, repeat the "git remote update" and the "git cherry-pick" commands, then:
git commit git push origin master
Now your workstation's "origin" is up to date as well.
Incorporating Git Updates
Sometimes the changes come from you, over on one of the supercomputers. On that supercomputer, type:
git commit -a git push origin master
Now the changes are on the workstation, but not the laptop. On the laptop in the git_code directory, type:
git pull origin master
Now go to the svn_code directory and:
git remote update git cherry-pick <sha1> git svn dcommit
This brings your changes over to your svn branch.
Last Thoughts
If I were to start fresh, I would start with the "git svn clone" operation and create a bare clone of that on the workstation. I'm still enjoying using git, though it makes me feel like an old dog faced with many new tricks!
Also, I talked about git at a ROMS meeting and that talk is available here:http://www.myroms.org/Workshops/ROMS2010/presentations/Thursday/Hedstrom_git.pdf
Finally, I heard an episode of FLOSS ( http://twit.tv/FLOSS ) about Mercurial. Mercurial and git were begun on the same day to solve the same problems. Mercurial prides itself on having a better user interface, so if you like some of what git has to offer, but don't like the interface, give Mercurial a look (http://mercurial.selenic.com/). It's written in Python and is used heavily by the Python community.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I'm trying to create a tar file of a directory on my system. [[ Unfortunately the disk is so full that I can't actually create the tar [[ file without filling this disk. [[ [[ Ultimately I would like to get a gzipped tar file on my other system. I [[ would rather not have to copy over the directory tree in order to get [[ enough space. [[ [[ Is there a way I can create the tar file on the remote system without [[ copying the directory tree to the remote system first? # # Daniel Kidger, Izaak Beekman, Rahul Nabar, Jed Brown, Don Bahls, and # Greg Newby all submitted similar solutions. In Greg's words: # Assuming you are using ssh or a similar method that can pipe data from one system to another, you can tar on one system, and send output directly to another system. Without needing to store the tar file on the first system. For example, if this were your usual command to make "test.tar" from a subdirectory "test", then send it to a system called "b". The old method would be: tar cf test.tar test scp test.tar b: Instead, you could pipe to ssh, and use "cat" to create the output file on the remote system. As usual, there are a few ways to do this. Use "-" as the output file argument to tar, to specify stdout: tar cf - test ssh b "cat > test.tar" Here is a variation, where you want to add some other shell commands on the remote system. Simply separate multiple commands with a semi-colon: tar cf - test ssh b "echo started at `date` ; cat > test.tar ; echo ended at `date`" GNU tar (which is what you will be using on the ARSC Linux systems) can create a compressed file from the command line. Just add "z" for gzip, or "j" for bzip2: tar czf - test ssh b "cat > test.tar.gz" # # But if you do not have GNU tar installed, you can always use Dale # Clark's approach: # tar cf - sourcedir ssh targetsystem "gzip - > /tmp/rt.tgz" # # Dan Stahlke emphasizes efficiency: # You can pipe the output of tar through ssh: ssh remote_system "cd /path/to/your/files && tar cvfz - ." > archive.tar.gz Or, if your version of tar doesn't have the 'z' option, ssh remote_system "cd /path/to/your/files && tar cvf - . gzip" > archive.tar.gz This technique also provides an efficient way to copy files if you run it back through tar on your side (faster than scp from what I've heard, although I haven't tried): ssh -c arcfour remote_system "cd /path/to/your/files && tar cf - ." tar xvf - The "-c arcfour" option tells ssh to use a faster, less secure (although probably still uncrackable) cipher. # # Scott Kajihara's solution uses the same SSH technique as the other # responses, but going the other direction: # All right, I am amazed that this worked for binary as well as ASCII data. Perhaps, tar(1) produces a suitably generic data stream. The slick part is that this is all done in I/O buffers, so no intermediate results exist on either system's disk storage (at least _I_ think that it's slick). ssh host.domain 'cd directory ; tar cf - .' gzip > foo.tgz which tar's the contents of _directory_ at _host_._domain_ and gzip's the incoming tar file data on the local machine. Adjust as necessary for your circumstances. Q: The colored text in my terminal window can be pretty annoying. It's useful sometimes, but difficult to see other times. What are my options? Any of the following would be useful: 1) Turn off colored text altogether 2) Remove the color, but allow styled text (e.g., bold, underline) to point out particular things like executable files or directories 3) Toggle text coloring on and off with the press of a button or a short command

I am in Italy and have just given my first private English lesson to two thirty-something, degree-level-educated Italian friends. Both are false beginners and want to continue lessons, one a week. I do have a CELTA but have never used it and it was 5 years ago, also the course was focused more on teaching classes rather than very small groups. I feel a bit overwhelmed and am not sure how to give the students the best possible learning experience. Any tips would be much appreciated.
Their English lessons at school were heavy on the grammar and very, very light on the speaking and listening, so I'd like to get them speaking and listening to me speak as much as possible, even if their English isn't perfect at first. I am trying to speak only English in the lessons, but I'm not sure if that's unrealistic. They don't understand instructions very well.
I think they panic when faced with the book (English Unlimited, Starter) because it makes it feel like school, where neither of them had a good experience of learning English. I'm worried that some exercises are too easy for them, but also that they rush through things because they want to show they 'can do it' and they keep on making the same mistakes. Like one wanted to ask "When did you come back to Italy?" except he kept saying, 'come back *in Italy' and although I corrected him and he would nod and be able to say the sentence fragment correctly, a second later he would say the full sentence and make the same mistake again. How do you get them to slow down and really think about what they're saying, without making them feel like they're back in school? Do you think it is possible to use more games and things and less of the book, in the early lessons, and still actually teach them something? I think 'input' is the thing I find most difficult - I can get them practicing, and communicating, but I don't know how to introduce a grammar point in an interesting way.
Sorry, this is all a bit rambling. Just looking for tips and suggestions, really. I don't quite know where to start!

I am a new member here. As I was reading through some of the other threads I realised that the OP's received some very good advice. So I have decided to join.
My situation is this. I have received an offer of a place on MA Applied Linguistics and TESOL from Newcastle University. I have seen some posters on this forum mention that an MA TESOL would be preferable to an MA Applied Linguistics for pursuing a career in the EFL field. Is this through?
Also, I have taught for approximately 7 years in both South Korea and Thailand without having any EFL certificate. I am interested in doing a DELTA after I finish my MA (If I don't feel too tired). This would help me to become a Teacher Trainer. I know that University of Bath do a DELTA simultaneously with the MA TESOL. Are there any other institutuons in the UK that offer this (DELTA) as part of the MA?
Thank you in advance for any help.

text: Here is our first RPD on a DSA Receiver, with a hand select kit from MGS. it went together pretty easily, there are only a few minor issues with the receivers. All the parts fit properly and most importantly they got the feed ramp right. We also made some improvements on the FCG parts and corrected all the dimentions so the triggers are really nice. I took it out last sunday and ran about 150 rounds through it with no problems. I stripped it down today and refinished all the metal. The photos do not do it justice, it is a real show piece, I had planned on selling it, but it is a keeper!!

The Canisius softball team jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, but host Cal State Fullerton scored 10 runs over the game's final four innings as the Titans posted a 10-2 victory in six innings Monday night at Anderson Field in Fullerton, Calif. The win moves Fullerton to 18-12 on the season while the Golden Griffins have now dropped six straight to fall to 3-13 on the season.
Canisius scored a run in the top of the first and another run in the top half of the third to take a 2-0 lead through 2.5 innings of play. In the first, freshman Jessica Berzins led the game off with a double down the left-field line, and she later scored on an RBI-single by fellow freshman Lindsey Silfer. For Silfer, that RBI was her third of the season. In the top half of the third frame, Canisius made the score 2-0 on a bunt-single by junior Robin Kennery. Berzins led off the third by drawing a walk, and she advanced to third on a double by sophomore Alexis Roman. Kennery followed Roman's two-base hit with the bunt single which allowed Berzins to score from third. That would be the last runs of the evening for the Griffs however, as Fullerton went to the bullpen with two relievers that held Canisius without a hit over the game's final three innings.
The Titans scored a single run in the home half of the third to cut the Griffs' lead to 2-1, and in the bottom of the fourth, the home team scored four runs on four hits to take a 5-2 lead, with the big hit coming from designated player Eliza Crawford, who smacked a three-run homer with two outs in the frame. Fullerton added a single tally in the fifth and then scored four times in the sixth to end the game early.
Christine Washington earned the win for the Titan after she came on in relief of starter Monique Wesley. Washington did not allow a hit in her two innings of work where she walked two and struck out two. Canisius senior Jen Consaul took the loss for the Blue and Gold in the circle after she gave up 10 runs, nine earned, on 10 hits while walking seven and striking out three.
Canisius will return to action Thursday, March 20, when the team starts play in the Loyola Marymount Invitational – II. The Griffs will play Bethune Cookman at 2 p.m., before taking on the host LMU Lions at 4 p.m.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers

I started out doing picture zines - 16 page with glossy covers and photocopied inside. I made line drawings, added a little text and after 4 of such zines I decided to move on to actual, 'real' zines that had a lot of text and cut and pasted stuff.
My perzine, DISCONCERTING was born. I usually make very few copies (around 10 or less) but may print more in future.
I have a preference for very, very text-heavy perzines that center on preferably, college life or from the point of view of a college student, or life in general, philosophical perzines... I'm not really into music, or other political sort of zines (unless you touch on libertarianism). Art/design zines are awesome, especially hand-drawn art but preferably thick and not comics.
You can visit my portfolio here: lochnell.wordpress.com or visit my shop: janellh.com (where I sell some of my zines)

Kathy and Basil were married at Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum in Chicago, Ill. on September 14. Fun fact: It was America's first theatre built for showing the sky's limits! The bride wore a sweetheart lace mermaid wedding gown, accessorized with a bouquet of all-white orchids, roses, and ranunculuses, while the groom wore a black suit, accessorized with a polka dot bow tie. Bridesmaids wore short sequin black dresses, accessorized with yellow Pashmina shawls. Plus, even their pup made it into the mix for a few portraits on the terrace! "With stunning panoramic views of Chicago as the backdrop, my amazing bride and groom were married," Stevi and Matt Savage said, the photographers. "They also incorporated some Palestinian traditions into the reception." Notice Kathy's henna on her hands and forearms? Guests enjoyed the newlyweds' grand entrance complete with a #selfie moment. Tables were surrounded with cross-back chairs, decorated with gray linens, glass dinnerware and flatware, mercury glass votive candles, and single stem sunflowers. The dessert display featured a three-tiered square monogrammed cake, souffles, macarons, and more, and by the end of the night, a surprise fireworks display went off! Boom.

Worked like mad to get this done, but I'm happy witht the results. Sometime I work better under pressure!!!!

The Spectra Precision® DR400 DigiRod™ is a versatile, revolutionary tool that eliminates the need for grade rods when checking grades with a rotating laser. The combination of a laser receiver with digital readout, laser distance meter, and built-in tilt sensor provide the information required to take rod-less, accurate grade readings, even at tilt angles up to 30 degrees.
Various grade rods can be emulated including direct elevation rods, cut/fill rods and indirect reading rods. Units of measure are selectable with the press of a button in meters, decimal feet or fractional inches. Elevation measurements can be taken up to 6 meters (20 feet) and the tilt sensor ensures accuracy by automatically correcting to actual vertical distance. The user simply places the laser distance meter spot on the location a grade check is required, picks up the rotating laser beam anywhere on the reception window, and the distance from ground to the rotating beam is measured and displayed.
Based upon the popular HL700 Laserometer, the DR400 DigiRod functions as a laser receiver and will work with any rotational red beam laser.
As a stand-alone laser distance meter, the DigiRod is designed to give contractors a one-person distance measuring and estimating tool to measure remote and difficult-to-reach places such as high overheads, factory interiors, or over water.
As DigiRod
As a Rod Mounted Digital Laserometer
As Handheld Laser Distance Meter

What about bird biotic? It is the same stuff. But I see that now it only comes in packets and not the capsules..but could it be given that way. Thomas labs makes it and it is 60, 100mg packets for around $50
It is ridiculous - a lot of these drugs have been around FOREVER and should be cheap and readily available. I had to pay $25 for 10 days of Amoxillin. They had that stuff when I was a young child 50 years ago.
Here is a real site I send all my customers to. My dad uses it as well.

|Magwart- thanks for the detailed information- you saved me a lot of time online. I'll look into these options and post back with the one that worked best for me. It wouldn't be as big a deal if I didn't need to keep her on doxy for at least several months.

The Doxy "shortage" is the bane of my existence. As best I can tell, the manufacturers are telling the FDA that the "shortage" is due to unusually high demand. I found a 10k SEC filing from one of the generic drug makers reporting record profits last year, due to Doxy prices. Draw your own conclusions.
We are dealing with this all.the.time in rescue in the Deep South, as a relatively high dose of Doxy for 30 days is part of heartworm treatment. I've spent many, many hours researching doxy prices. You will not find the $4 or $11 Doxy anywhere -- that era appears to be dead. You may be able to get it for a lot less than you are currently paying though, if you are diligent in chasing the best deals.
WAG dropped Doxycycline Hyclate (the kind that has the shortage) from their RX plan. It was on it a few months ago, but as of right now, the 100mg tabs are not. (I think 20mg might be but that's useless when a dog needs 300mg in a single dose.) The drug on the PDF Mikko linked to is different (Doxycyline Monohydrate)--I don't know what it is, but it's not what gets prescribed for my dogs. I don't know whether they can be substituted -- that's a question for a vet. RA still has Doxy Hycl. it on their plan, but the price isn't dirt cheap -- closer to $1 pill, if I remember correctly.
Here's what I've found:
1. Start with GoodRX.com -- you enter the name of the drug, and then on the right side of the page for that drug, you enter the quantity desired (e.g., 180 tablets of 100 mg). It will price it at many local pharmacies (including the big chains). It will also give you a link to a "coupon" to get the negotiated GoodRX price at several pharmacies -- which is less than you are likely paying now. I've used their coupons at CVS and WAG, and they do actually take them (it works!). (Don't bother checking Costco--they've consistently been higher than the prices I've found on Goodrx. Walmart is high too, but their pricing shows up on Goodrx).
2. Ask your vet about filling it through Roadrunner compounding pharmacy in Arizona, if they are able to serve your state (your vet has to deal with them -- Roadrunner won't deal with you directly). They are a big national compounding pharmacy that ships all over the country. A single month of Doxy has been running about $70 from them, from what I've been hearing locally. I also heard they recently had a "special" of 500 of the 100mg tabs for 0.30 each, which might work for you, given that you need to have your dog on this for months. If you need to buy several months worth for the tick treatment, maybe that's an option. Your vet has to call them to ask about that special though, and availability will depend on your state's pharmacy rules.
3. Try calling manycompounding pharmacies around your state. One of them told me that the cost of compounding is primarily the labor, so ordering a lot at once is cheaper per pill than ordering in small batches. If your vet will script it that way, you'll save money, since you need several months of this. I saw a huge, huge price variation among the local compounding pharmacies when I called them, so call some in other towns in your state too--they likely can ship it to you, if the price difference is big enough. The key is to ask your vet ask them to compound it in a form to make it easy to dose (e.g., in a 300mg tab since you are giving 3x100mg tabs once a day). They may even be able to flavor it for your dog in a wafer. Be sure you price apples-to-apples (e.g., ask them all about compounding the same form/dose) to get accurate price comparison data.
One of these options should help you get it for less than the retail pharmacy price you are currently paying. It's a hard, hard situation for those of us with pets who need high doses for an extended period of time though. Your vet will likely thank you for helping him or her find other cheaper options for clients!
Good luck! If you find other sources eventually, come back and share them!
You can get your dog a Walgreen's prescription plan and pay $15 for 30 pills or $30 for 90.
|Maybe check local feed and farm supply stores too?
I'm giving 3/100mg tablets once a day. At the best rates I've found around here, that is about $3.30 a pill! The compounding pharmacy in Spokane is cheaper, at maybe $2.20 a pill? Still much more than it should be, but if this is long term it'll will save me $3 a day. I've tried doing on line research for better pricing, but haven't come up with anything yet. Forked over another $150 for a refill yesterday.
I'm seeing great improvement in my dog, so it is worth it to me, but it would be great to find a less expensive option.

I purchased one some time ago, and of course my Fett was missing the jetpack missile and sidearm. I kit bashed the gun, but never was able to get a missile. Does anyone know if someone ever made copies? Or has an extra one on hand.
I'd loved to get one for my figure. I'm thinking about modding another jetpack, but figured it never hurts to ask first.

|Sounds neat, do you have any pict.?
|Bob Allen
Rascal; I have a 49-F7 "Grain Truck". Henry only built about 418 in 49.
yours appears to be a F8 because of the "Cleated Wheels".
The only difference is "F8 is Cleated" or "F7 is Bud" wheels. I changed
my "Suicide" split Rims over to one piece "20 inch - Two ton Chev" rims.
The original engine was the "Big-Ole Bus Flat Head Engine". It was past repair.
I installed a 429, and used the original 5 Speed Over Drive. I bit the Bullit, and
payed the price for the "new" wheel cylinders, relined the Shoes, and had
the Remote Brake Booster rebuilt.
I like Brakes that Work.
I Painted the truck Black, Chromed the Grill and other Goodies.
I just Love this old Truck.
I now also have a 49 F5 Grain Truck.
It only has 31k miles and is all "Henry". I still use this truck.
Yeah thanks, I didnt have the cash at the time when I was looking for the tires to buy new wheels also, the tires were a biatch to find and I was happy to find 6 takeoffs with the knubbies still on them. All 6 still cost me 1000 bucks.
If I ever get to the point of winning the lottery ( I better start paying ) than I would like to put some aluminum Alcoas on the truck with another set of decent tires.
I believe they are the 20s BTW
I dig it.
If you want to get away from the split wheels, (you may already know) you can use 'demountable' wheels for tubeless radials. Like: 295/75/22.5 (low-pro) or 11r 22.5..
So if your current tires are 10.00 - 20's (20" Dayton hubs) a 22.5 demountable wheel should work on yours. Be sure to get the wedges too, or make sure your current wedges seat into the wheel firmly.
Myself, got a 75 GMC C65 dump that still hauls and makes money. It had the 10.00 - 20s with the split wheels so I switched them out to the aformentioned setup.
If you have 22" Dayton hubs then a 24.5 demountable wheel would be what you need.
Also, they make new spacers (there are different widths) that fit between the duals on the rear. Most rings are beat up and rusted which, aside from obvious safety problems, make it a real PITA to get the wheels bolted on so they won't wobble going down the road.
When I purchased truck it was in pieces, parts in boxes and sheet metal just hanging on by a thread. It had no bed on it, had a water tank on it I was told. I purchased a 68 F-350 just to get its 8 foot steel bed and tool boxes ect, I added another 4 feet to the bed.
I did not know it at the time but after getting that 68 home I realized that the engine had just been gone thru, I knew it looked good when I purchased the truck but when I found the receipts within the truck I was shocked.
I can only guess why the previous owner of that 68 spent so much money on that truck and then gave it up. I purchased that 68 for 1200 maybe, I know no more than 1500. Purchased it from a local used car dealer. The bed alone was worth that too me at the time.
Anyway the engine that was in that truck turned out to be a 70 351 W and that is what is in the 52 now. Still working on wiring and all of the many oddball items. Still need to do the brakes.
Unfortunately the wheel cylinders are no longer avail unless I want to pay a ridiculous price to certain guys that scooped up all that was avail at one time just so they could gouge future generations. I could send the originals out to be re-sleeved and that is 90 bucks a piece, there are 4 of them in the rear and two in the front. Coincidentally the NOS ones I mentioned are the same 90 dollars.
Also have to have the driveshafts cut and re-balanced again since I am now working with the 4 speed. As I mentioned the 302 still had its transfer case and it was an automatic so the shafts were much shorter for its set-up. The 302 was destined to crumble, truck is just too heavy. I am hoping this 351 will be able to hold up. Im not building a hot rod and will leave the 2 barrel on it, the guy that rebuilt the engine must have had a slightly bigger cam installed and I would like to put a gear drive it just cause I like that sound but again I am not expecting nor wanting any sort of performance from the truck.
Anyway as mentioned can post some up-dated pict. if you guys are interested.

1952 F-7 ford
Alot of you guys have given me some great help on my project. I though I would post some more pictures of the truck.
BTW the motor mounts look great, I know how cheesy they looked in a previous photo but once up in the truck they look much better.
I have found a photobucket account I didnt even know I had and I hope to make a link here so that you guys can see the pictures. If it does not work than one of you guys will have to tell me what needs to be done to make it work

These photos show the truck with the F.I. 302 i originally put in it, I removed it from an 86 Ford, 4 wheel drive. I didnt even bother removing the transfer case at the time.
I will post some updated photos of its new powertrain if any of you guys are interested.
