Industrial distributors deal with a diverse set of industrial products, ranging from valve fittings and piping to pumps and motors. This diversity creates order management, inventory tracking and transportation management challenges that must be tightly controlled to remain competitive. The right industrial distribution system will include strong inventory management and warehouse management capabilities to keep a distributor up to date on how much of each product is in stock and where the item is located in the warehouse. The system will also include e-commerce, order management and invoicing features that allow distributors to handle sales orders, and procurement/vendor management features for purchase orders.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Industrial Distribution Software?
Common Features of Industrial Distribution Software
Evaluating Industrial Distribution Software
Perhaps the most important thing to note about industrial distribution software is that this is not the name of a single software category, but rather a diverse group of software types used in different operational contexts by industrial distributors. These software types fall into the broad territory of supply chain management/ERP, including:
(Click on links for overviews and example products)
Accounting/financial management
Customer relationship management
Together, these applications can handle nearly all of the back-office needs of an industrial distributor. That said, not all distributors will need every one of these applications. Those that do have two options:
Distributors have specialized needs, and occasionally even a distribution ERP won't offer all the features you need. If this is the case, consider investing in an ERP system along with one or two standalone systems (say, for warehouse management) and then integrating your standalone solutions with your ERP.
The following vendors offer distribution ERP systems:
Not all ERP systems are right for distributors. Many are intended for manufacturers and/or retailers, and these systems will be overkill (not to mention too expensive) for many distribution contexts. Distribution ERPs are more lightweight and offer flexible capabilities in the areas distributors need, which we'll look at now.
We've seen that industrial distribution software is a rather loosely defined category, including most of the applications generally grouped under the heading of supply chain management software.
With that being said, there are three areas of supply chain management where "one-size-fits-all" solutions tend to fall short for distributors:
Distributors need to place purchase orders and receive sales orders, so the solution needs strong order management functionality.
Additionally, the order management system should integrate with the warehouse management system in order to bill for value-added services performed in the warehouse/distribution center, such as kitting, repackaging and light assembly. The warehouse management system itself also needs to be able to track these activities.
Indeed, distributors and logistics companies tend to describe the WMS module as the "weak link" in their ERP solutions. Finding a standalone WMS that fits with your portfolio of services as well as your inventory tracking requirements is the best workaround for this problem, as standalone WMS systems still outstrip modules in ERP systems in the range of functionality they offer.
Moreover, the top industrial distribution systems include the following industry-specific capabilities:
|Nested lot codes/serial numbers
|Since many industrial distributors get involved in value-added services, such as light manufacturing, assembly, rentals and kitting, industrial distribution software allows for the tracking of nested lot numbers and serial numbers when component parts are combined in a kit or package.
|Industrial product item codes
|Since industrial products can vary tremendously, the software supports pricing and tracking of a broad range of products. Examples include building materials, adhesives, heavy equipment, electrical supplies, plumbing/HVAC, janitorial/sanitation and medical. Generally, multiple product codes can be associated with a single product.
|Bill of materials
|A bill of materials (BOM) is a list of the materials used in a product, including parts used in its sub-assemblies, sub-components etc. BOMs can have multiple levels, so they present specific costing and inventory tracking challenges for distributors.
|Point-of-sale system
|Many industrial wholesalers take walk-up orders from contractors filling an order on their way to a job site. In this instance, your industrial distribution solution will need retail capabilities such as an integrated point of sale system as well as wholesale capabilities.
|Vendor managed inventory/consignment inventory
|If you're monitoring your customers' inventory levels as a service, or if you're selling stock on consignment, you'll need special inventory tracking and order management features.
Additionally, as part of a complete enterprise resource planning (ERP) system most programs will include accounting and business intelligence tools. Some also include customer relationship management features and HR functionality such as payroll.
The specific type of industrial products sold, sources of revenue and additional services will all play a major part in the evaluation of an industrial distribution software product. A company specializing in medical devices will want a system that supports that industry, while a company that serves multiple industries with service offerings and walk-in orders will need something much more all-encompassing and robust.
When selecting industrial distribution software, buyers should consider the following:
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

Histones are proteins that occur in the nuclei of most cells in ionic combination with DNA. Nucleosome is the term for a histone molecule bound to a segment of DNA, and nucleosomes are subunits of chromatin, the readily stainable substance that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division. Histones were discovered in the late 1800s by Albrecht Kossel, a German doctor who received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1910 for his research in the field of cell biology. However, much of the modern understanding of the water-soluble, alkaline proteins was not developed until the latter half of the twentieth century. Indeed, histones were generally assumed to serve primarily as a type of packing for DNA to coil around for many years, but today the proteins are widely considered to be involved in gene regulation, the physical and functional alterations that occur in chromatin during cell division, and the transcription of DNA.
The Madin-Darby ovine kidney cell culture featured in the digital image above was fixed, permeabilized, washed, and blocked with 10-percent normal goat serum in phosphate-buffered saline prior to immunofluorescent labeling with rabbit primary antibodies to giantin, a protein resident in the Golgi complex of mammalian cells. The culture was subsequently stained with a mixture of secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488. In addition, histones were immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-histone mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab heavy and light chain fragments conjugated to Texas Red. Images were recorded with a FluoView FV300 laser scanning confocal microscope using argon-ion and helium-neon laser systems.

What happens when you disable one of the Streaming Multiprocessor (SMX) units on the NVIDIA GK104 processor used for the GeForce GTX 680 video card? If you answered that you come up with a GeForce GTX 670 video card that is available for $100 less, you are on the right track!
This morning NVIDIA announced the GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 video card that has a total of 1344 CUDA cores and has seven streaming multiprocessors instead of the eight found on the GTX 680. NVIDIA also lowered the clock speeds down a bit as the base clock on the core of the GeForce GTX 670 is 915MHz (980MHz Boost) versus 1006MHz (1058MHz) on the GeForce GTX 680. The 2GB of GDDR5 memory remains untouched and stays clocked at 6008MHz (effective). Even with one less multiprocessor than the GTX 680, gamers will be able to experience amazing gaming performance and for a better value.
The price versus performance value is better on the GeForce GTX 670 as it is costs just $399, which is $100 less than the GeForce GTX 680. The GTX 670 is less than 10% slower than a GTX 680, so you get card that costs 20% less and still packs a mean punch. With a little overclocking, pretty much any GTX 670 should be able to get up to GTX 680 performance levels, so gamers have a very interesting card to check out. Who knows, maybe you can even unlock the SMX unit that NVIDIA said was fused off!
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 graphics card has visually changed a decent amount as NVIDIA has completely redesigned the PCB on this card to make it more cost effective and smaller. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 measures in at 9.5-inches in length, but the PCB is just 6.8125-inches long! This is amazing if you want to run water cooling as you could possibly have an insanely fast graphics card that is under 7-inches in length!
The GeForce GTX 670 has a maximum TDP of 170 Watts, although the typical board power is around 141 Watts. If you overclock this board and max out the power target slider at +122% the highest TDP will be just 173 Watts. This means that just two 6-pin PCIe power connectors are needed on a 500 Watt or greater power supply. As you can see NVIDIA has created a pretty impressive card that doesn't consume too much power or take up that much space.
It should be noted that NVIDIA did make some changes when it comes to SLI, so if you plan on running more than one video card be sure to listen up. The GeForce GTX 680 supports 2-Way, 3-Way, and 4-Way SLI. The GeForce GTX 670 supports just 2-Way and 3-Way SLI. NVIDIA figured that people looking to break overclocking world records wouldn't be running 4 GTX 670 boards and disabled that functionality. Since GeForce GTX 670 and GTX 680 both run derivatives of the GK104 core we know it is possible, but NVIDIA made the executive decision to lock it down.
When you look at the features of the GeForce GTX 670 and GTX 680 next to each other you can see how similar the two cards are. Notice that the largest performance different is with the peak texture fillrate. The GeForce GTX 680 is rated at 128.8GT/s, while the GeForce GTX 670 is at just 102.5GT/s. The memory bandwidth on both cards is virtually identical at 129.2 GB/s. The performance tests that we will do today will be very close from the looks of it!

Sarah Palin Lashes Out Against Anyone Offended By "Duck Dynasty" Star's Disgusting Homophobic Comments
Sarah Palin has jumped into the Duck Dynasty hysteria. According to Sarah, Phil Robertson, patriarch and star of the biggest cable series in history, Duck Dynasty, is expressing his protected free speech rights (true) and we should support him, but anyone who's been vocally offended by and critical of his dangerous bigotry needs to shut up.
I wonder why Sarah Palin didn't jump up for Martin Bashir's right to free speech. His comments were only targeting her. Phil Robertson was attacking a sizeable portion of the American public. Martin ended up resigning permanently from his network yet Sarah never uttered a peep to defend his first amendment right.
It's amazing how people like Sarah Palin and Phil Robertson only seem to care about free speech when someone calls them on something idiotic they said. Free speech means free speech for everyone Half-Term Gov. Palin. Everyone has the right to express their opinion. Everyone else also has the right to call that opinion garbage.
At the end of the day it is the guy's opinion. You don't have to agree with it, you don't have to like it, heck be offended by it if you want BUT at the end of the day he is excersing his God given right TO HIS OPINION. An opinion is not right or wrong, it is just an opinion.
Also Eric, re-read what he said again. Did he call anybody an offensive name? NO. his first words in that statement read, and I quote; "I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person." Sounds like he is describing his own experiences and viewpoints. Wether true or not you can't tell someone they are wrong for expressing opinions or viewpoints.
Did she not read the article? And I quote
"I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash."
Yeah, that's not offensive or racist at all. Good call Sarah Palin, we'll all shut up about that.
Sarah Palin and westboro are Standing behind him supporting him. Nuff said.
Freedom of speech is a given, thinkn what u want, a given. Any star, reality or otherwise have to answer to someone as well. Thank god the network suspended him. Bigotry is no needed.
When the Dixie chicks spoke out years ago it was omg, how dare them say anything. Now he does it and the same people are screaming how dare we get on to him.
Bigotry is hatred. Plan and simple.

Relatively Rare, These Novas Represent the Birth of a New Network
Mark Johnson got involved with cars through his neighbor, a backyard mechanic who also happened to work in a salvage yard. Mark's first loves were Fords-Rancheros and Falcons-and he went through several of each. As with many car crafters, however, marriage and family diverted Mark's attention from the automotive hobby for a number of years. When the urge returned, Mark dabbled for a while with a '65 El Camino project, but it demanded too much time, money, and effort. The day he sold it, he dutifully took the proceeds to the bank on his way to his daughter's soccer game. On the return trip, however, he saw a '67 Chevy Nova station wagon parked at the side of the road with the hood up. Mark stopped to help, chatted with the owners, made an offer on the car, went back to the bank to retrieve the El Camino cash, and headed for home with the Nova. His wife was not pleased, but he has now built the wagon into the family cruiser that he'd been hoping for.
Bob Santana met Mark at a car show in his hometown of La Verne, California. Bob had been into anything with wheels since he was a kindergartner, growing up with a father who owned and worked on a '49 Merc. Bob's first automotive foray involved a '66 Volkswagen, which he sold after high school to purchase a '69 Z/28 Camaro. His eclectic history also included Porsches, vans, and more VWs, but he was driving a '67 Nova Sport Coupe when he met Mark at a La Verne show-and that may have planted the station-wagon seed. After losing the coupe to a rear-end collision and becoming dispirited, he abandoned cars for a while. As with Mark, though, the urge returned. Bob decided he wanted a station wagon, so he went to the famed automotive swap meet in Pomona, California. After spending the day searching and almost making a deal on a '66 Chevelle wagon, he gave up and went back to his daily driver VW. There, parked next to it, was a '67 Nova wagon, and the die was cast.
While both cars were roadworthy when Mark and Bob acquired them, each needed work.
In the years since they met, the two men have become close friends, talking frequently, digging up sources for esoteric parts for each other, and eventually helping to develop an informal network of Nova station wagon devotees. (Over the next few months, we'll shine the light on a few more of these cars.) Mark tends to visit more car shows, has gone on the Hot Rod Power TourTM twice, and planned to accompany the Car Craft Anti Tour this year, but Bob joins him whenever possible at local meets.
It's good to have buddies-especially those who share rare tastes.
Tech Notes
What: '67 Chevrolet Nova Wagon
Owner: Mark Johnson, for 30 years a paper-hauling forklift operator at Weyerhaeuser
Hometown: Lakewood, California, next door to Long Beach
Engine: Mark tried to blow up the original six-cylinder, but it withstood his best efforts. He eventually swapped in the current 5.7L TPI V-8 from a '92 Z28 Camaro. It's cooled through a Be Cool radiator with dual SPAL fans, and it carries a Vintage Air A/C system, all of which were installed by Mac's Radiator Service in Bellflower, California. The car runs at 180 degrees consistently, even with the air on-and it gets 26 mpg!
Camshaft: The stock bumpstick remains in the unaltered L98 mill. Its advertised specs included 0.413-inch intake and 0.428-inch exhaust lift with 202-degree intake and 207-degree exhaust duration.
Induction: Mark polished the runners and the body of the stock L98 350 tuned-port-injection system. Then he polished everything else that he thought might benefit from a buffing.
Exhaust: A set of Hooker Super Comp headers is mated through 21/2-inch tubing to Flowmaster mufflers. The setup sounds ballsy, but it doesn't overpower the stereo.
Power: The L98 engine was advertised at 245 bhp and 345 lb-ft of torque by Chevrolet. It was subsequently replaced in Corvettes and Camaros by the venerable LT1.
Drivetrain: The 700-R4 tranny came with the 350 out of the Camaro. It's been upgraded with a mild shift kit that's just enough to provide a hard tire chirp on throttle-up into Second. The driveshaft was shortened to fit the new engine/trans combo and turns 3.08 gears in the stock rearend.
Suspension: The chassis is firmed with Alston subframe connectors. The front coils and rear leaves are from Vehicle Spring & Forge and are controlled by KYB gas shocks at the front and KYB coilovers at the rear. Hellwig antisway bars are fitted to both ends, and the wagon's stance comes from the combination of Classic Performance Products' 2-inch-drop front spindles and 2-inch-drop rear blocks.
Brakes: Classic Performance Products supplied the brake components, which include power discs at the front and drums at the rear.
Wheels/tires: The big 'n' little rolling stock features front Weld Draglite 15×3.5 wheels wrapped in Kelly 165R15 rubber and 15×7 Draglites out back with 215/70R15 BFGoodrich TA tires.
Body: The paint is a factory Emerald Turquoise Green, but the painter mixed a little metallic into it for a brighter sheen. And while most modern car crafters seem to want perfectly clean lines, Mark retained the factory roof rack due to its rarity and the coolness factor. Just to be different, he also molded in a gas-filler door scavenged from a junkyard Mazda.
Interior: The interior was crafted by Armando's Custom Upholstery in San Jacinto, California. It's a full leather-and-tweed treatment that included reshaping the seats, creating a fold-down armrest and center console, and fashioning upholstered flames in the door panels and headliner, as well as a flamed Chevy Bow Tie in the front seatback. Mark built the tonneau that covers the rear cargo area and had its mirror-smooth surface painted in flames as well. The tonneau covers a Kenwood and JBL stereo system that Mark designed to provide stout overall sound rather than just a thumping base.
Tech Notes
What: '67 Chevrolet Nova wagon
Owner: Bob Santana, a heavy-equipment operator for Arcadia Water Company
Hometown: La Verne, California, nestled against the base of the San Gabriel Mountains
Engine: The 350 V-8 was originally a fuel-injected motor that was pulled from a wrecked Chevy. Bob bought the car from Enrique Cruz of A&A Auto Body in Santa Ana, California, who had swapped in the 350 after rebuilding it. Cruz retained all of the stock innards but polished many of the exterior pieces as the small-block went together.
Induction: The engine was originally fuel injected, but Cruz went traditional when he rebuilt the V-8. The new system features a polished-aluminum intake and an auto-choke, 600-cfm, four-barrel carburetor. Both are Edelbrock products.
Exhaust: The headers have been coated with ceramic and feed 1 1/2-inch tubing to dual, turbo-style mufflers.
Drivetrain: The 700-R4 overdrive automatic combined with the swapped-in V-8 necessitated a shortened driveshaft that turns 3.36:1 gears in the open differential. The tranny was upgraded with a mild shift kit, and the original trans crossmember was replaced.
Suspension: A set of 1 1/2-inch front lowering springs (which take two coils out of the stock wraps) works with rear 2-inch-drop blocks and the stock monoleaves to set the wagon's slightly raked stance. The front shocks are Doetsch, and Monroes control the rear. Bob retained the stock front sway bar, and all of the frontend bushings were replaced.
Wheels/tires: Bob likes the classic look of the American Racing vintage Torq-Thrust D wheels, which were polished by Mag Masters in Santa Ana, California. All four were originally 15x7s, but Bob had the front pair narrowed by Eric Vaughn of Vaughn Machine Works in Monrovia, California, to 5 1/2 inches, and they carry All Climate 195/65R15 tires. The unmodified rears are clad in 225/70R15 BFGoodrich T/A Radials, and the stock drum brakes still reside at all four corners.
Body: Bob is amazed at how straight the Nova is. When he bought the car, Cruz told him that it originally came from New Mexico with minimal rust. Bob refurbished the front grille, striping and repainting all of the inserts. The original white body received a new coat of PPG Silver Blue Metallic, and Cruz striped and polished all the body moldings. Bob obtained many of the moldings and small parts at Modern Performance Classics Nova in Orange, California.
Interior: The cabin of the wagon looks very much as it might have when the car was new more than three decades ago. Bob refinished the factory, two-spoke steering wheel, and the carpet, headliner and seats were redone in showroom fashion by Salvadore Reyes of Reyes Upholstery in Huntington Beach, California. The 400-watt stereo system is made up of Pioneer components, but Bob hopes to upgrade the speaker enclosures in the rear storage area.

text: An international diplomatic crisis erupted in May 1960 when the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) shot down an American U-2 spy plane in Soviet air space and captured its pilot, Francis Gary Powers (1929-77). Confronted with the evidence of his nation's espionage, President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969) was forced to admit to the Soviets that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had been flying spy missions over the USSR for several years. The Soviets convicted Powers on espionage charges and sentenced him to 10 years in prison. However, after serving less than two years, he was released in exchange for a captured Soviet agent in the first-ever U.S.-USSR "spy swap." The U-2 spy plane incident raised tensions between the U.S. and the Soviets during the Cold War (1945-91), the largely political clash between the two superpowers and their allies that emerged following World War II.

Wi-Fi Map of the World
Page 1 of 1
If you were watching the keynote address from last week's Macworld Conference and Expo, you saw Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveil software for the iPhone and iPod touch that lets users pinpoint their location with Google Maps. But the software doesn't depend on GPS, it depends on Wi-Fi.
To create this amazing app, Apple licensed technology from Skyhook Wireless, a Boston-based company that's mapping the world's Wi-Fi networks. The iPhone and iPod touch software works by measuring the strength of nearby Wi-Fi networks.
Mapping the world
Skyhook was founded five years ago by Ted Morgan (below) and Mike Shean, who had the idea to map first the nation's and then the world's Wi-Fi networks. After securing $17 million in venture capital, they sent out a fleet of vans to drive the streets of every metropolitan area. Vans were equipped with proprietary technology that recorded Wi-Fi network strength and relayed that information to the Boston headquarters.
Skyhook has now finished its U.S., Canada, and Australia mapping goal of measuring the areas where 70 percent of the population lives, and currently has drivers working to improve the company's European and Asian maps. To see the U.S. coverage map, click here. Skyhook has 275 employees, 240 of whom are drivers recording Wi-Fi signals.
Do the math
Measuring Wi-Fi and determining position isn't simply a matter of graphing signal strength. Getting usable information means relying on complex algorithms that calculate factors, such as how signals change when bounced off objects. For help in creating the algorithms, Morgan turned to Dr. Kaveh Pahlavan of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, in Worcester, Massachusetts, an expert in using positioning algorithms for indoor geolocation. This extension of Pahlavan's work applied the information to outdoor signals, something that hadn't been done previously. Skyhook filed for 25 patents based on Pahlavan's findings.
Apple wasn't the first company to take advantage of Skyhook's Wi-Fi location software. AOL uses it in AOL Instant Messenger, allowing users to see where their chat buddies are located, and SiRF Technology integrates it into some GPS chips. Skyhook also offers software downloads from it's consumer site, Loki.com, that use the technology.
The Apple application
Apple's user interface works by showing a circle around your location on a map. If the software is sure of your location, the circle is small; when it has less confidence, such as in rural areas, the circle expands.
The Apple software can do more than just pinpoint your location, however: it also offers text-based driving directions, called step-through navigation, such as you can get online from Google Maps. It doesn't offer live GPS-style navigation, called turn-by-turn navigation, but Morgan says that's due to licensing restrictions, not Skyhook's Wi-Fi software. Only two companies in the world have the maps necessary for turn-by-turn navigation, TeleAtlas and NavTech.
"They charge a lot of money for turn-by-turn navigation," Morgan says. "Generally, that's the most expensive thing in any navigation product, more expensive than any piece of hardware."
Consumers have shown a strong demand for location-based services, including GPS navigators and cell phone services, and Skyhook's technology should find a lot of new takers.
"We think location is going to be a key element to all mobile devices over the next few years: phones, laptops, gaming devices, everything," says Morgan. "You're going to expect anything you carry around with you to know where it is."

Carrie Underwood fell right on her bottom onstage during a concert in Corpus Christi, Texas, on Thursday.
The "American Idol" alum was performing for her "Blown Away" tour when she tumbled away in front of a packed American Bank Center Arena. While she was belting out one foot-stomping song, the songstress got a bit overzealous and her sky-high heel caught on the back of her long, flowy T-shirt. That move forced her to plunge to the ground and bounce onto her derriere.
But the six-time Grammy winner handled the spill like a pro, finished singing as she was seated and even took to Twitter to acknowledge her foible.
"Hey, remember that time in Corpus Christi when that girl busted her butt on stage?! Hilarious!" she wrote, "Oh wait, that was me! #5inchheels #klutz"
But the situation turned out to have a lasting effect.
"I can't move my toes. Is that bad?" she noted.
Hours later, the 30-year-old returned to the micro-blogging site to keep fans informed about her health. (She's still set to perform at the State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas, on Friday).
"Good news, it's not broken...AND I got some new footwear!" she wrote, posting a photo of a medical boot enveloping her left foot, with her perfectly manicured toes peeking out.
The singer also bantered with followers after the mishap, which comes days after her husband, NHL's Mike Fisher, was bitten by a chipmunk at their home.
One fan insisted that Underwood didn't fall Thursday, but "attacked the floor," instead. You know, "while wearing five inch heels" because "she's got mad ninja skills."
Even country crooner Brad Paisley got in on the action. (He's co-hosting the CMAs with her on Nov. 6.)
"The graceful, the nimble, the cat-like reflexes of @carrieunderwood," he teased, sharing a fan video of the flap on Instagram.
Well, Underwood didn't exactly appreciate that, and fired back with a YouTube video of Paisley falling onstage too.
"@BradPaisley I learn from the best! Brad Paisley Falling http://youtu.be/yyVJjWl5ix8," she tweeted.
"At least I wasn't drunk. :)" he said.
To which she replied, "You know I don't drink on stage! I'm uncoordinated enough as it is!"
But Paisley had to have the last word.
"c'mon Carrie, you're not fooling anybody. We all love you anyway. :)"
OK, because parenthetical smiley faces make everything better!

Kesha Dons a Dramatic Black Dress for the 2013 American Music Awards [Red Carpet Photos]
Kesha's floor-length dress gave her a sultry edge at the 2013 American Music Awards. The singer isn't shy about showing skin, but we love that she covered up for the red carpet. Of course, she couldn't resist popping a leg, a la Angelina Jolie.

Similarly to this (old) thread, {lib,}gphoto2 refuses to work due to a permission error:
$ gphoto2 --summary
*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('I/O problem'): Could not open USB device (Permission denied).
*** Error (-7: 'I/O problem') ***
The relevant lines in the debug log:

0.078216 gphoto2-port(0): Could not open USB device (Permission denied).
0.078293 context(0): An error occurred in the io-library ('I/O problem'): Could not open USB device (Permission denied).
One workaround is giving world write permissions to that device:
sudo chmod o+w /dev/bus/usb/002/006
... causing gphoto2 to work as expected:
$ gphoto2 --summary
Camera summary:
Manufacturer: Canon Inc.
Model: Canon EOS 550D
The wiki mentions that being part of the camera group is irrelevant.
As per the package file list, udev rules have moved to /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/40-gphoto.rules. Does this need modifying?
Edit: I don't use a desktop environment, instead logging in via the console and starting dwm using xinit. I've tried launching console kit (in conjunction with dwm as per the wiki) to no avail.
Last edited by tlvince (2012-05-22 14:25:49)
I just updated the wiki a bit. Hope it helps.
Edit: to check if your consolekit sessions are set up correctly check "ck-list-sessions". You should have "active" and "is-local" both be TRUE for you to have access to the device.

For debugging messages, please use the --debug option.
Debugging messages may help finding a solution to your problem.
If you intend to send any error or debug messages to the gphoto
developer mailing list <firstname.lastname@example.com>, please run
gphoto2 as follows:
env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt --list-files
Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the arguments.
But, if I follow tlvince's advice and change the permissions, it works as expected:
$ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/013
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 12 Jun 23 16:38 /dev/bus/usb/001/013

By default you don't need to be in any particular group to make this work. Permission should be granted using ACL's (by consolekit/systemd). Did you read the wiki? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gp … ion_issues
@tomegun - I sure did. I am running systemd and consolekit. I also believe that my users recognized -- I edited my post #3 while you wrote your reply, sorry for that. Please have a look above and thank you for any advice you can offer.
@graysky: only thing i can add is that if you have both CK and systemd running, then the latter will take precedence, so you should make sure that also systemd considers your user to be active: "loginctl session-status <your session id>" will tell you.
Thanks for the quick reply, tomegun... seems as though systemd does not consider ANY sessions active:
$ loginctl
@graysky: then that explains your problem
If you log in on a tty, does it work?
What DE do you use? You need the pam systemd module to be set up correctly. AFAIC KDE and Gnome work fine, but there might be work to do if you use something else.
Essentially you need a pam-session to be set up for you, and you need pam_systemd.so to be in the right file in /etc/pam.d/. I would assume that without an active session a lot of other things would also not work? E.g. sound, graphics....? Though I suppose most things can be worked around by being in the right group.
@tomegun - I use xfce4 and lxdm to login.
I dropped down to multi-user and entered X. Now I am reconized by loginctl but both my 'active' and 'is-local' are now set to FALSE... ?
$ sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target

unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'

Hmmm... I guess the problem is that your graphical session does not get its own logind session. The session in the listing you have is the one associated with the tty where you did "xinit". However, you are currently on a new tty where X was started. Hence, the first (and only) session is not active.
It might be worth trying to use gdm/kdm as they should do the right thing and set up a proper session for you.
@tomegun - Thank you for the suggestion. It appears as though the problem lies with lxdm unfortunately. When I login with gdm, the camera is identified just fine without root permissions. I would like to open a bug with lxdm upstream, but am not totally sure what to say. Can you help me with the description?
@graysky: without looking at the code, I'm not sure what goes wrong. I'd just file a bug report saying that you don't get a systemd session when logging in with lxdm. You could possibly point to http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Softwar … y-managers as a reference to how it should work. I guess the problem should be clear to the lxdm devs.
Thanks tomegun. I have also confirmed this behavior under lightdm as well. It would be a crying shame to have to switch to gdm just for this.
Yeah, it would be awesome if all the dm's supported systemd I think the main issue is to make sure the dm's have pam support, then the rest is almost for free

Is this solved yet. I have exactly the same setup with lxdm, xfce4 and systemd, and can no longer use gtkam as a user ("Permission denied") though it works as root.
It worked fine pre-systemd.

Read the two bug reports by graysky. He posted the fix there.
My bad. I'd seen the report and missed the comments. Thank you.

Hoping this will not be considered necro-bumping.
I have the same original problem. With the difference that I don't use any DM, and let agetty perform the autologin. I have installed both consolekit both systemd, and they say my session is active, because /etc/pam.d/login sources /etc/pam.d/system-local-login, that sources /etc/pam.d/system-login that contains this statement

If you are booting with systemd and not using a DE, then this is not really ideally implemented at the moment. In order to get it to work, you can follow Dave's advice here: http://blog.falconindy.com/articles/bac … stemd.html.
Perfect, launching Xserver on the same tty where I log into fixed everything. Thanks a lot.

My year on the BCG clock has expired, and I have decided not to get an extension. I definitely intend to seek certification in the future, but the more work I have put into my portfolio, the more I have realized that I'm just not ready yet. I'm at a point where I need to step back and reevaluate my goals.
I also think that I need to engage more with the genealogy community (online and locally). I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience over the last few years, but I still have a lot to learn. Hopefully, I can find more experienced genealogists to mentor me, or at least become more active in local genealogy societies. I plan to focus more on posting on this blog and working on Geneajobs.net more often as well.
It would also be a good idea for me to complete more research projects and take more classes at the National Institute of Genealogical Studies and elsewhere before I continue work on my BCG portfolio. I need to slow down and enjoy the experience of learning more about genealogical research.
I think I'm pretty good at this, and I look forward to getting better. I just can't be in too much of a hurry to do so.

Jeff Holt put his home at 14 Mill St. in Jamestown on the market Sept. 5. Four days later, it started raining, hard.
Monday, a little more than six months after the historic flood that destroyed 26 properties in town and killed one of its beloved longtime residents, that house sold. It's the first Jamestown property to change hands since the deluge struck.
"Everybody was shocked — happily shocked," said Janele LeClair, associate broker with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Boulder who represented the buyer.
"It certainly wasn't an easy transaction, with the banks and all that, and the fact that there had been a flood there. But with persistence, we were able to get it done."
LeClair, who said the buyer is from Boulder County but has requested anonymity, added, "I think it's a great sign" for Jamestown, as the heavily damaged small foothills community continues its efforts to regain stability in the flood's wake.
The 1,354-square-foot, two-story log structure on 0.62 acres that borders on the Roosevelt National Forest was not damaged at all in the storm because it is situated at a high enough elevation to have escaped the rampaging floodwaters.
Listed originally for $323,600, it ultimately sold for $298,000. County property records show the home was last purchased in 2006 for $299,500.
"The road that ran by the property, James Canyon Drive, was heavily damaged, so for a while you couldn't get to it," said Myriam Johnson, a Realtor with Spaces Real Estate, who was listing agent on the home.
Holt was one of many mountain residents evacuated by helicopter Sept. 14 when the rain relented.
The Mill Street property's greatest issue afterward was, in fact, a lack of water.
"The house was on water from the Jamestown water plant, and there was no water in Jamestown" with the town's water distribution system taken down by flood damage. "So the house wasn't livable anymore," Johnson said.
That has been remedied for now by installation of a 1,000-gallon cistern, and the town hopes to have its water system online again by the fall — at which point 14 Mill St. will once again be served by the town's system.
Holt's desire to sell his home stemmed from wanting to be closer to his job as an electronics design consultant in Centennial. He is now living in a rental property in Arvada.
"It's definitely bittersweet," he said of selling his Jamestown home of the past eight years. "It's the longest I've lived anywhere. I stuck it out as long as I could, but for my job the commute is an hour and a half each way. It was only two, sometimes three times a week, but it was getting to be unbearable. I decided I can't do this very much longer."
Holt still has great affection for Jamestown and feels a greater closeness with many people there since the flood for the experience they shared and survived together. He looks forward to being part of the Fourth of July celebration the town is already planning as emblematic of its survival and rebuilding.
"There was nothing wrong with the community before the flood," Holt said. "To make it even stronger than it was, it's pretty special."
Jamestown Mayor Tara Schoedinger also cited the sale as a step in a positive direction.
"I think it's a sign that this hasn't deterred people from wanting to move to our community," Schoedinger said.
Noting the town's "aggressive" timeline for completing road improvements and restoring drinking water by August, she added, "I think that I feel really optimistic about what's happening in town right now."

So I've been just a bit lax on the blogging side, but I haven't been idle...
The Great Big stitched Postcard Swap is back for round #6. The theme is celebrate and I've made the cutest little bunting...the card size is just over 6" x 4" so the bunting is fairly tiny. Next post I'll run a few tutorial pictures so you can make your own...you know, just in case you get the urge to make miniature, cutesy bunting of your own!
thanks for taking a peek over the fence...
I bought the Noodlehead basket pattern to make for my partner for the Sewing Room Swap, then I wished I had the social tote pattern instead.
So I forged ahead and made my own version of a project carry tote for carting various sewing projects around...you know...as far as the lounge while watching Sherlock or Elementary, my usual Sunday night treat before the week begins in earnest! I based it on the tote I made for this swap earlier in the year.
This is what I ended up making for my partner in that swap...I had a hard time parting with this sewing machine cover for the, but it went to a home where it's loved to bits ..."linda lawsons place".
I had promised myself that I'd do two "block of the months" this year (surely I could find two days a month to sew...ha ha ha ha ha, what was I thinking?) I've only managed to get two Doctor Who paper pieced blocks made...The T.A.R.D.I.S.
and The Time Lord
I'd really like to get caught up with these by the end of the year...(see above laugh!)
thanks for taking a peek over the fence...

This month's puzzles mark the
9th year
of our joint Monthly Interactive & Printable Logic Problems project. To
celebrate, we've posted
an extra, bonus puzzle as our little
anniversary gift for everyone who likes our puzzles and enjoys solving them.
Happy Puzzling Birthday!
Elliot worked for a distributor and looking at his work schedule this morning, he had a lot of scheduled pickups to get ready for the trucks. The odd thing about today's work schedule was that all of the trucks scheduled for pickups were from independent trucking companies instead of the large trucking companies who handled the bulk of their shipping. Shrugging, he hurried off to get the scheduled goods ready for shipment. Determine the name of each trucking company picking up loads today, the name of each truck driver, the type of goods each was picking up, and each trucker's final destination.
1. Freight Away was carrying shoes but not to Ohio.
2. Joe wasn't from Freight Fast.
3. Carl was hauling cosmetics but he wasn't going to Maine.
4. Wayne worked for Truck It Now. Stan wasn't hauling peanuts.
5. The truck carrying gadgets, which wasn't from Freight Fast, was going to Georgia.
6. Round Trip Trucking was going to Tennessee. Stan didn't haul freight to Ohio.

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, but our contestants definitely aren't feeling good. As if having the bedroom door bashed in by Bill DeMott a couple of weeks ago wasn't bad enough, this time their alarm call came in form of an air horn. Ouch! The remaining contestants hot-footed it down to the front of the palace where they found an obstacle course.
The course involves running up and down small hills with a body bag on their shoulders, crawling like a crab, jumping on Bill's box, making ropes look like snakes and doing some tyres.
We're five weeks into the competition now, so our boys and girls should have stepped things up a bit. It seems this obstacle course, however, was a challenge too far for most. Ryan kept being sent back down the hill for not being crab-like enough, Andy took so long about getting around that Jer-Mah overtook him, Ivelisse didn't have enough strength to carry the bag up the hill (seriously, somebody get this girl a steak!) and Eric…..
Fair play to Martin, though. What a lovely boy to come and help Ivelisse finish the course.
A shower and some breakfast later and it was time to start training. Sat up on the turnbuckle, pensively stroking his tiny beard was Rey Mysterio. Just like every episode of Saved by the Bell that ever was, each installment of Tough Enough has a heartfelt message to impart. This one was delivered by Rey and involved believing in yourself, overcoming the obstacles ahead of you and working with others to reach a common goal. See what they did there? With the obstacle course at the beginning and then Rey Mysterio heart spilling? Although, if you're a cynic you might have considered the message to be……
On to a challenge, and this week our crew were asked to pick the body bag up on their shoulder and slam it down to the mat ten times in a row. This was a further challenge for Ivelisse, who was still struggling after the obstacle course. Her luck failed even further when she got smacked in the face with Christina's lady area after a badly timed leapfrog.
As it turned out, it was a hamstring pull that brought her down, not the groin-punch. She's a tough cookie though, and after some strapping and hugs she was back on her feet.
Bill was getting annoyed. Nobody was firing on all cylinders. BILL! Maybe it's because you woke them up at stupid o'clock with an air horn and got them to run a killer obstacle course before training! If I'd had to do that I'd be on a sun lounger in front of the pool sipping mocktails and singing showtunes for the rest of the day.
But fair enough, this is still the most important job interview they'll ever have, so 100% dedication is expected at all times. Noticing that the two remaining ladies were struggling, Trish went to chit-chat with Ivelisse and Christina to make sure they weren't about to give up or sabotage each other. Judging by their expressions, I'm not sure she succeeded in cheering them up.
Getting back to the 'teamwork' ethic, the mentors decided to make the group compete in a basketball match against a team of world-ranked dwarf basketball players. Booker coached the champs and John Salley (who even I with my general avoidance and loathing of the NBA recognise) coached our contestants. In wrestling, being smaller than your opponents doesn't necessarily mean you're going to lose the match. In sport, however, height and/or a weight difference would suggest an advantage. Not so in this game. The Statesmen ran rings around Team Tough Enough and embarrassed them throughout. John Salley gave them a four out of ten for teamwork. Back in the gym Booker wasn't happy and berated the boys and girls for sucking so badly. Note to self: Never roll your eyes when Booker T is telling you off.
As usual at this point in the episode it's time to have some kind of round-robin exercise. The contestants worked in groups of three and were gradually whittled down to the most impressive trio. The girls did terribly, Luke was boring and Ryan Skidmarks did reasonably well until his inner pantomime dam reared its hammy head again. Despite a spirited challenge from AJ, Martin was the deserved challenge winner yet again. Luke was desperately unhappy and complained by contradicting himself with mathematics. 100% > 98%, fool!
After much discussion it was decided that the bottom three would be……

Using a shared hosting plan has many advantages and disadvantages. However, a good understanding of these can only be achieved if you know what other websites are being hosted on the same server (IP address).
MY IP Neighbors is great little tool that tells you which other websites are hosted on the same server/IP. Simply enter the URL of a website and a list of all the websites hosted on that IP would be displayed along with the resolved date. Clicking on the Whois link next to any of the listed websites would display detailed whois information from Domain Tools.
You can also set up an email notification so you will get notified every time a new website is added to your server. Another great use of the tool is to check if your dedicated server has been compromised.
Techie-Buzz Verdict:
MY IP Neighbours is a very useful tool to see what other websites are hosted on the same server. The interface is simple and the tool is super easy to use.
Rating: 4/5

The dilemma was brought into sharper focus by Peter Lyman and Howard Besser, two participants in a 1998 conference sponsored by the Getty Conservations Institute in Los Angeles. "In fact, out digital cultural heritage is disappearing, almost as fast as it is recorded," they wrote in the introduction to the final report. "Atoms, as in ink on paper, tend to persist.

Peter Keegan needed a new stationery design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 122 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
Cellar Door Wines Limited
I am a 34 year old wine professional starting a new distribution company specializing in Rare and Fine wines called 'Cellar Door Wines Limited' in Las Vegas, NV.
This is wholesale distribution, therefore, my target audience is generally corporate executives working on the Las Vegas 'Strip,' as well as a few small business owners in the local community.
I was entertaining the idea of of using the attached wine label (which is my favorite label on the planet!) as the basis for the business card design. HOWEVER, I am NOT committed to using it all!
Other than that, I welcome all creativity -- Good Luck!

Yesterday, I had the idea of creating some "facts" about the
NSA - the
United States National Security Agency, similar to the Chuck Norris
Facts meme. And I got some
good factoids so far, which I will share here:
The NSA doesn't publish. They perish.
The NSA employs the largest number of mathematicians with Ph.D. And the most
stupid and incompetent ones.
The NSA has a patent for an efficient process for collecting a lot of
information and doing nothing with it.
The Bajoran scholars have positively identified Benjamin Sisko as
The Emissary. They also positively identified the NSA headquarters
as The Dungeon.
One of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's episodes took place in the NSA
headquarters, but had to be destroyed, because all of the test audience had
uncontrollable panic attacks.
The NSA knows what you did last summer. But no one, in the NSA or outside it,
knows why they should.
The more the NSA think, the less they want to be able to think.
So they think less and less.
Hope you enjoyed it and naturally - "ha ha, only serious!". Now the ball is in
your court
- can you think of more? Put them in the comments below.
Happy NSA bashing!

Muah Chee (Sticky Glutinous Snack)
Well, today's post is a simple one. This was made when my hubby and I suddenly thought of supper last 2 days, and I've made this kueh the very last minute since I still have some roasted ground peanuts in the kitchen.
Recipe was adapted from one of my collection books. First attempt and it's beautifully done! (not that I'm smart, it was just easy). Have a look at the ingredients and method...you can do it too!
Here's the recipe...
150g glutinous rice flour
30g tapioca starch
1 & 1/2 cups water
30g sugar
1 cup toasted peanuts (grinded) with some sugar added.
~ Mix rice flour and tapioca flour together with water.
~ Pour into a plate or mould which has been brushed with oil.
~ Place in the steamer to steam over medium heat for about 15 minutes.
~ While its still warm, place the dough in a plastic bag and add sugar. Knead till the dough texture is chewy.
~ Then tear into small pieces and coat with grinded peanuts.
Here's the dough after kneading, the texture should be chewy.

Yum! One of my all time favorite desert! I remember last time my mum made it , I would ask her to cut the muah ji smaller, so when I eat each mouth, I get more peanut coating and not having to eat too much muah ji, lol! Hope you are doing well my friend. Btw, still haven't confirm coming up to KL yet as we have a wedding dinner to attend the weekend we plan to go.... See can reschedule or 'escape' from the wedding, heehee.ReplyDelete
