It's a Pinterest party up in here this week, and today I want to talk about DIY Christmas Wreaths!
(What's Pinterest? Go their website and/or read my spiel about it. There. All better now.)
You may remember my wreath from my previous decorating post:
Currently, this is hanging on my bedroom door, but I don't yet have one for my front door. The bell wreath was a gift, but I knew that I wanted to try my hand at making the next one. Check out my latest Pinterest finds — all DIY and all cost-effective (because we like it that way).
(All images are linked to their original sources — Just Click!)
OK, here's where I derail… sort of. So, I found those two lovely ideas (above) and then I remembered a concept I'd seen before: paper cone wreaths. I started searching for images so I could share with all of you — especially since I think this will be the kind of wreath I make — and somehow I ended up pinning nearly a dozen other paper cone wreaths. Maybe this post should be called "Paper Cone Wreaths, Courtney's New Obsession." I mean, seriously… it's about to get a little silly. So without further ado, my "sub post":
Paper Cone Wreaths, Courtney's New (slightly unhealthy) Obsession:
Yeah, that's just some of them. Like I said… I sort of got carried away. Needless to say, there are MANY different types of wreaths out there… and many can be made by YOU for next to nothing.
Once I get around to making mine (probably a version of the last one) I'll definitely post pics here!

Texas teen Myles Turner was happy to talk about a lot of things: his fundamental approach to basketball, the college recruiting process, even his feet. (Oh, we'll get to that). But when asked about a figure from relatively ancient basketball history, the 1970s, he admitted he doesn't know a lot about Jack Sikma.
"The name sounds familiar," Turner told Sporting News. "I'll look him up."
So, indeed, Turner was only too happy to talk about Sikma, as well, if only he'd had much to add to the conversation. In a sense, though, he does. Because if you have a memory of Sikma as a player, or if you've been told about him by your elders, you might be interested to know Turner bears perhaps the greatest resemblance to him of anyone who's played the center spot since.
RECRUITING CENTRAL: Sporting News' analysis of 2014 class
Sikma is practically a brand name for a sort of playing style at the position. His trademark even is called "the Sikma move," a pivot from a back-to-the-basket position and then a step-back into a jump shot.
At 7-0, 240 pounds, Turner has echoes of Sikma throughout his game: the shooting ability from all around the court, the high release, even a hint of that pivot into a turnaround jumper. Ranked the No. 5 prospect in the 2014 recruiting class by Scout.com, Turner in many ways is an improvement on the original.
Sikma did his job well enough defensively for the Seattle Sonics to win the NBA title in 1979, but he never was much of a shot-blocker. Turner is an electric presence around the rim, throwing back shots with the kind of timing that figures to make him worth in the neighborhood of three per game at the college level.
As Sikma developed, there was no 3-point shot in high school or college, so there was no real logic for him to take his game that far from the goal until late in his career, when he made 82 and shot 38 percent from long distance in 1988-89. Turner is an exceptional deep shooter and will be a threat from the 3-point line upon entering school.
Only a few months ago, Turner was essentially unknown as a prospect, not even ranked in most analysts' top 100. He has been delighted by the sort of ascent last seen when Carly Rae Jepsen released "Call Me Maybe." From nowhere to superstar.
Now Kansas and coach Bill Self want Turner, and he has committed to make an official visit at Midnight Madness. "I like what I see, have a good relationship with Coach."
Kentucky's John Calipari wants him and would love for him and Dallas-area point guard Emmanuel Mudiay to become a Texas tandem in the UK recruiting class. Turner cut down his wish list to eight Wednesday night, according to ESPN.com, with the finalists being, in no particular order, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Arizona, Ohio State, Texas and Oklahoma State .
"I'm doing my research and trying to find the best fit," Turner said.
Turner was raised to play in the frontcourt, although he only grew to true center size in his ninth-grade year. He has been well-coached in the game and owns a full arsenal of offensive skills that includes a jump-hook in the post that makes great use of his length, excellent balance and hand-eye coordination that allow him to score on duck-unders from even eight or 10 feet, and of course his terrific face-up shooting.
He gives the credit to his father, David, a New York native who learned the game on the city's playgrounds.
"He learned how to be a fundamental player with the mix of a little bit of street ball, a little bit of toughness," Turner said. "From a young age he taught me to the basic moves: basic drop-step, basic pull-up jumpers, stuff like that. I've always had a jump-hook. I haven't been using it as much lately. I've really been pushed out, but that's definitely a weapon I have."
He is best-known, however, for his feet. Hall of Famer Bob Lanier played in size 22 sneakers. So did Shaquille O'Neal. Turner wears a size 21—which, frankly, looks even bigger than it sounds.
Turner once grew three shoe sizes, from a 14 to a 17, in two weeks. At the same time he was shooting up from 6-4 to 6-8. He is asked about this often, and he's fine with it.
"People are curious. I think it's a pretty cool story myself," Turner said. "I don't ever want to be a burden to people, come off mean, so I'm open to everybody."
Turner has one of the more delightful personalities of any elite prospect in recent years. Opponents might catch him smiling as he blocks their shots.

It would be nice if we could at a minimum sort the internet radio list. It appears that the clients show the list in the order it was created. By sorting it would allow to put similar stations close together or sort on whatever method the admin would like.
An extension would be to allow categories similar to genres for internet radio to help find them when there are many stations.

Currency and Exchange Rates
It varies in size, shape, texture and color. But most importantly, it varies in value. Believe it or not, where you exchange your currency can make a big difference in the translation of that value. We're talking a BIG difference. So here's the #1 way to avoid getting ripped off on the exchange rate:
Don't exchange your money at airport exchange booths, rail or bus stations, hotels, restaurants or stores. Their hours may be better, the convenience might be nice, but you'll end up with less cash in your pocket. Like up to 10% less.
Stick with banks and exchange services when converting your money. And exchange some of your currency at home, before even stepping foot on the plane.
Surprisingly, you can really beat the system by sticking to plastic. Credit card exchange rates are extremely competitive. Why? They're based on wholesale rates rather than rates typically offered to consumers.
Exchange Rates
Want to find out what 100 American dollars translate to in Fiji dollars? How about Moscow? Hong Kong? Here are three sites to visit to find out:
Pacific Exchange
Universal Currency Converter
Yahoo Finance
And if you want to go ahead and exchange your money right now, over the Internet, at better rates than you'll probably find at a bank, click here:

The Five Rules of Ninja Dixon
1. Just because the masses thinks a movie sucks, it doesn't mean it sucks.
2. The only taste you can trust is your own.
3. The only bad movies are the boring ones.
4. Country, language, budget, genre, digital or film - this doesn't mean nothing! Storytelling is everything.
5. It's just movies, nothing else. Chill down.
5 comments:

Rovio Introduces the Cast of Angry Birds Stella
Be ready to slingshot your way through the Golden Island in this newest addition to the Angry Birds universe.
Rovio Entertainment means to formally introduce us to the cast of Angry Birds Stella. This game is the latest spin-off to Rovio's immensely popular Angry Birds franchise and seeks to bring more personality by bringing in this squad of slingshot-swaying squawkers. Stella is the main bird of this expansion and will be accompanied by her five cohorts, Luca, Dahlia, Willow, Poppy and the sinister Gale. As always, the series' infamous green Piggies are up to no good, and it's up to Stella and her friends to stop them.
Having Stella at the forefront imbues this game with a sense of female heroism along with a sense of character that other Angry Birds titles may have been lacking. Angry Birds Stella will load up its slingshot this September for iOS and Android devices. There is also an animated tie-in series coming this November.

The Springside Chestnut Hill Academy girls earned a split at last week's Cardinal Classic Basketball Tournament, falling to host Upper Dublin High School on Thursday, 69-34, then rebounding the following afternoon for a 59-33 victory over Hatboro Horsham High in the consolation game.
The Lions rang out the old year at 5-7 overall, and will resume their Girls Inter-Ac agenda this Friday at Germantown Academy, coming into that game 1-0 in the league after knocking off Baldwin in the opener.
After SCH's tournament game last Friday, Upper Dublin easily captured the championship with a 56-25 win over Villa Joseph Marie, which had beaten Hatboro Horsham in the semifinal round the previous day. In that first semifinal game, Villa Joe romped to a 17-3 first-quarter lead over the Hatters, then coasted to a 33-25 victory.
Playing the late game on Thursday, SCH was doubled up 11-22 in the first quarter by the Upper Dublin Cardinals, who kept on rolling to a 41-17 halftime advantage.
One of the top players for the Cardinals is junior forward Regan Gallagher, who played for Mount St. Joseph Academy for the past two years and now has returned to her home school district. Her older sister, Ryann, was a senior on the Mount team that won the Class AAA state championship in 2008.
Gallagher finished Thursday's game with 10 points and fellow forward Brianna Spector (a senior) added nine for the Cardinals, who were led by a 22-point effort from senior guard Curtrena Goff.
Culling nine points from the three-point arc, freshman forward Lindsay Hiner led the Lions. Two guards, junior Julia Schumacher and senior Gianna Pownall, contributed seven and five points, respectively, for SCH, which was now slated to play Hatboro Horsham the following day.
The Hatters, led by former SCH coach Steve Flynn, were without a few players who left town for the holiday break, while the Lions were missing ailing sophomore forward Olivia Byron for both of last week's games.
Hatboro Horsham's Chrissy Maguire broke the ice, then a three-pointer by senior guard Maddi Hinchey got the Lions going. SCH got another "three" later on from Pownall's freshman sister, Marissa, and a total of five players got on the board as the locals ended the first quarter with a 16-4 lead.
Tightening up their defense, the Hatters were a little closer by halftime (30-20) and over the first six minutes of the third stanza they reduced their deficit to just four points, at 33-29.
The elder Pownall, who had been on the bench due to a spot of foul trouble, reentered with 1:41 to go in the quarter, got fouled herself, and made one of two free throws. Hinchey hooped her second trey of the day with two seconds left, and for the start of the fourth quarter the Lions had a little more breathing room, up 36-29.
Early in the final round Pownall fed Hinchey for a fast break bucket and then scored one herself off of a steal. Hiner hit a 15-footer and a pair of free throws to round out an 8-0 spurt and SCH stayed ahead by double digits the rest of the way, out-pointing the Hatters 23-4 in the final frame. The Lions continued to score in transition, while Schumacher and Marissa Pownall each shot four-for-four at the foul line.
Springside Chestnut Hill wound up with double-digit scoring from Hinchey (17 points), Gianna Pownall (13), and Hiner (10), with eight points from Schumacher, seven from Marissa Pownall, and two apiece from sophomore Caroline Henry and freshman Essence Walden.
Hatboro Horsham was paced by Lauren Jester and Heather Lutz, who each scored seven points.
In the championship game, Upper Dublin got out to a 19-9 lead in the first quarter, then gave a point back in a low-scoring second period, which ended with a 22-13 tally. The Cardinals pulled away smartly in the second half, as outside shooter Kayla McAneney heated up en route to a game-high 16 points. Goff finished with 12 for the winners and Gallagher scored all of her nine points in the first half.

(***) out of four
Much like the rising desperation in the chorus of this Alabama bar band's single "Hold On," buzz for Alabama Shakes was steadily building in the months before SXSW this year, marking them as a band you just had to see in Austin, Texas--before they hit the festival circuit this summer and took off into the stratosphere of stardom, never to be heard from by the little people again. (Yeah, they'll probably most definitely snag a spot on the Lollapalooza schedule, heads up.) Guess what? Those SXSW elitist dorks were right, of course.
"Boys and Girls" is '60s rock 'n' roll through and through, with vocalist Brittany Howard injecting devastating soul that tugs at your deepest core with a power and intensity you haven't heard since you sat with your dad back home listening to some Otis Redding. (Who'd have known Otis would return as a chick named Brittany?) Tracks like "I Found You" showcase the band's strength in balance with playful, upbeat guitars and rejoicing lyrics coupled with those take-a-breath comedowns between the choruses--about, what else, the search for that great love--that make you wonder how you've gotten this far without such a perfect soundtrack to your life.
This album isn't meant to be that chill background music you throw on while catching up on some reading or procrastinating on the work you decided to finish up at home. With songs like "You Ain't Alone," a desperate plea for connection ("If you're going to cry, c'mon baby, cry on me"), taking you to the heights of Howard's unshakeable climaxes, you'll surely never get anything done.
Instead: Throw this record on every time you get dumped, graduate from something or get in a fight with your mom. Put a six-pack of your choice on ice, park it on your stoop with a good friend and let Howard and the Shakes take you into the morning with a hoarse voice and fuzzy head. Though I didn't get a chance to catch these guys live at SXSW, it's a sure bet that an in-concert experience with them would be unforgettable. Bone up on "Boys and Girls" now, in case they do show up at Lollapalooza (they will, I promise) in August; it will be one hell of a show you can't afford to miss.

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-3445) Implementing core scheduler functionality in Resource Manager (V1) for Hadoop
|Tue, 02 Sep 2008 15:11:44 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3445?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12627706#action_12627706 ] Vivek Ratan commented on HADOOP-3445: ------------------------------------- The test that is failing is an hdfs test, that should not have anything to do with this patch. > Implementing core scheduler functionality in Resource Manager (V1) for Hadoop > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-3445 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3445 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Vivek Ratan > Assignee: Vivek Ratan > Attachments: 3445.1.patch, 3445.2.patch, 3445.3.patch, 3445.4.patch, 3445.5.patch, 3445.6.patch > > > The architecture for the Hadoop Resource Manager (V1) is described in HADOOP-3444. This Jira proposes implementation details on the core scheduling piece - the changes to the JT to handle Orgs, queues, guaranteed capacities, user limits, and ultimately, scheduling a task on a TT. > As per the architecture in HADOOP-3444, the JT contains a new component, Job Queue Manager (JQM), to handle queues of jobs. Each queue represents a queue in an Org (one queue per Org). Job queues are backed up by disk based storage. > We now look at some details. Terminology: > * A queue has *excess capacity* if it does not have enough jobs (queued or running) to take up its guaranteed capacity. Excess capacity needs to be distributed to queues that have none. > * Queues that have given up excess capacity to other queues are called *low queues*, for the sake of this discussion. Queues that are running on additional capacity are called *high queues*. > For each queue, the JT keeps track of the following: > * Guaranteed capacity (GC): the capacity guaranteed to the queue, set up through configuration. The sum of all GCs is equal to the grid capacity. Since we're handling Map and Reduce slots differently, we will have a GC for each, i.e., a CG-M for maps and a GC-R for reducers. The sum of all GC-Ms is equal to the sum of all map slots available in the Grid, and the same for GC-Rs. > * Allocated capacity (AC): the current capacity of the queue. This can be higher or lower than the GC because of excess capacity distribution. The sum of all ACs is equal to the grid capacity. As above, each queue will have a AC-M and AC-R. > * Timer for claiming containers: can just be the # of seconds the queue can wait till it needs its capacity back. There will be separate timers for claiming map and reduce slots (we will likely want to take more time to claim reduce slots, as reducers take longer to run). > * # of containers being used, i.e., the number of running tasks associated with the queue (C-RUN). Each queue will have a C-RUN-M and C-RUN-R. > * Whether any jobs are queued. > * The number of Map and Reduce containers used by each user. > Every once in a while (this can be done periodically, or based on events), the JT looks at redistributing capacity. This can result in excess capacity being given to queues that need them, and capacity being claimed by queues. > *Excess capacity is redistributed as follows*: > * The algorithm below is in terms of tasks, which can be map or reduce tasks. It is the same for both. The JT will run the algorithm to redistribute excess capacity for both Maps and Reduces. > * The JT checks each queue to see if it has excess capacity. A queue has excess capacity if the number of running tasks associated with the queue is less than the allocated capacity of the queue (i.e., if C-RUN < AC) and there are no jobs queued. > ** Note: a tighter definition is if C-RUN plus the number of tasks required by the waiting jobs is less than AC, but we don't need that level of detail. > * If there is at least one queue with excess capacity, the total excess capacity is the sum of excess capacities of each queue. The JT figures out the queues that this capacity can be distributed to. These are queues that need capacity, where C-RUN = AC (i.e., the queue is running at max capacity) and there are queued jobs. > * The JT now figures out how much excess capacity to distribute to each queue that needs it. This can be done in many ways. > ** Distribute capacity in the ratio of each Org's guaranteed capacity. So if queues Q1, Q2, and Q3 have guaranteed capacities of GC1, GC2, and GC3, and if Q3 has N containers of excess capacity, Q1 gets (GC1*N)/(GC1+GC2) additional capacity, while Q2 gets (GC2*N)/(GC1+GC2). > ** You could use some other ratio that uses the number of waiting jobs. The more waiting jobs a queue has, the more its share of excess capacity. > * For each queue that needs capacity, the JT increments its AC with the capacity it is allocated. At the same time, the JT appropriately decrements the AC of queues with excess capacity. > *Excess capacity is reclaimed as follows*: > * The algorithm below is in terms of tasks, which can be map or reduce tasks. It is the same for both. The JT will run the algorithm to reclaim excess capacity for both Maps and Reduces. > * The JT determines which queues are low queues (if AC < GC). If a low queue has a job waiting, then we need to reclaim its resources. Capacity to be reclaimed = GC-AC. > * Capacity is re-claimed from any of the high queues (where AC > GC). > * JT decrements the AC of the high queue from which capacity is to be claimed, and increments the AC of the low queue. The decremented AC of the high queue cannot go below its GC, so the low queue may get its capacity back from more than one queue. > * The JT also starts a timer for the low queue (this can be an actual timer, or just a count, perhaps representing seconds, which can be decremented by the JT periodically). > * If a timer goes off, the JT needs to instruct some high queue to kill some of their tasks. How do we decide which high queues to claim capacity from? > ** The candidates are those high queues which are running more tasks than they should be, i.e., where C-RUN > AC. > ** Among these queues, the JT can pick those that are using the most excess capacity (i.e. queues with a higher value for (C-RUN - AC)/AC ). > * How does a high queue decide which tasks to kill? > ** Ideally, you want to kill tasks that have started recently or made the least progress. You might want to use the same algorithm you use to decide which tasks to speculatively run (though that algorithm needs to be fixed). > ** Note: it is expensive to kill tasks, so we need to focus on getting better at deciding which tasks to kill. > Within a queue, a user's limit can dynamically change depending on how many users have submitted jobs. This needs to be handled in a way similar to how we handle excess capacity between queues. > *When a TT has a free Map slot*: > # TT contacts JT to give it a Map task to run. > # JT figures out which queue to approach first (among all queues that have capacity, i.e., where C-RUN-M < AC-M). This can be done in a few ways: > ** Round-robin, so every queue/Org has the same chance to get a free container. > ** JT can pick the queue with the maximum unused capacity. > # JT needs to pick a job which can use the slot. > ** If it has no running jobs from that queue, it gets one from the JQM. > *** JT asks for the first Job in the selected queue, via the JQM. If the job's user's limit is maxed out, the job is returned to the queue and JT asks for the next job. This continues till the JT finds a suitable job. > *** Or else, JT has a list of users in the queue whose jobs it is running, and it can figure out which of these users are over their limit. It asks the JQM for the first job in the queue whose user is not in a list of maxed-out users it provides. > ** If the JT already has a list of running jobs from the queue, it looks at each (in order of priority) till it finds one whose user's limit has not been exceeded. > # If there is no job in the queue that is eligible to run (the queue may have no queued jobs), the JT picks another queue using the same steps. > # The JT figures out which Map task from the job to run on the free TT using the same algorithm as today (find a locality match using the job's cache, then look for failed tasks or tasks on the rack, etc). > # JT increments C-RUN-M and the number of Map containers used by the job's user. It then returns the task to the TT. > *When a TT has a free Reduce slot*: This is similar to what happens with a free Map slot, except that: > * we can use a different algorithm to decide which Reduce task to run from a give job. I'm not sure what we do today for Reduce tasks (I think we just pick the first one), but if it needs to be improved, that's a separate issue. > * Since there is no preemption of jobs based on priorities, we will not have the situation where a job's Reducers are blocking containers as they're waiting for Maps to run and there are no Map slots to run. > *When a task fails or completes*: JT decrements C-RUN and the # of containers used by the user. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

They played Sunday in Morehead, Ky., to close out the Morehead Classic. After practicing Monday coach Frank Bennett gave his players Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday off. Friday afternoon they were back on the court at Allen Arena preparing for Saturday night's game at Tennessee State University. The tip-off is scheduled for 7 at the Gentry Center.
"We played three games in a row and practiced Monday morning," said Bennett. "It is nice to have had three days off. Hopefully, we have come back ready to work."
Both teams won in their last outings. The Lady Bisons, 2-4, beat Presbyterian 52-45 in the Morehead Classic Sunday.
Tennessee State beat Cumberland 60-42 Wednesday night in the first of four straight home games. It was the first win for Tennessee State which started the season 0-3.
"We need to put some games together," said Bennett. "I feel good about the last two as far as our intensity level and our defense. We didn't shoot the ball well at all in the last game, but we made some shots late.
"Our defense early on in the season was a weakness, but we seem to have improved there. Hopefully, we will be able to put it together on both ends."
The Lady Bisons have a 1-4 record overall against Tennessee State, with a 63-55 win last season. The Lady Tigers were picked in the preseason poll to finish third in the Ohio Valley Conference. They return only one starter from last season, Jasmine Smith, a preseason All-OVC selection.
Returning to the court this season after missing the 2009-2009 season with an injury is Oby Okafor, also a preseason All-OVC selection.
"TSU will be a test for us," said Bennett. "They have a lot of speed. They are long. They press a lot. It will probably come down to taking care of the ball and rebounding.
'We are playing the top three teams in the preseason OVC poll. Morehead was picked first, Austin Peay was second and TSU was voted third."
Tennessee State has a great deal of depth as well.
"They will play a lot of people," said Bennett. "They have one player averaging 23 minutes a game. Everyone else is below 20."
Bennett will go with the same lineup he used against Presbyterian and Morehead with Jenna Bartsokas and Anna Bowers at the guard spots, Hannah Phillips and Valerie Bronson on the wings and Brittany Duerk in the post.
Bartsokas leads the Lady Bisons in scoring with 11.2 points per game. Bronson is also in double figures with 10.7 per game. Duerk is the top rebounder with 6.8 per game.
Phillips, a freshman, has quickly found herself a niche on the court.
"Hannah is a long defender," said Bennett. "She can guard any of the perimeter players from point guard to bigger wings. She has good pressure on the ball. She moves her feet well.
"She played good bit in the tournament the last couple of games. She is a good 3-point shooter. In our man offense she can get in the post some and she has a nice turnaround fade-away. She is a pretty good all-around player. She doesn't lose her head much."
The Lady Bisons are back on the road Monday when they travel to Cookeville to play Tennessee Tech at 8 p.m.

Mayor Don Wesely is inviting everyone in the Lincoln area to the city's annual Fourth of July celebration at Holmes Lake. A day full of activities, food and music for all ages will be capped off with the traditional fireworks display set to music.
"I want to thank the Lincoln Jaycees and area businesses for their support in making this a fun and safe holiday event," Mayor Wesely said. "Because of the dry conditions in the area, some families may be cutting back on their personal fireworks, but we can assure them of a spectacular fireworks show at one of our most beautiful public parks."
Zambelli Internationale will present the fireworks display, with the accompanying music broadcast on KTGL-FM, 92.9 The Eagle. The Eagle is the official radio station for the Fourth of July celebration, and the station will broadcast live during the celebration from Holmes Lake near the old marina area.
StarTran, in cooperation with the Jaycees, will again provide free public shuttle service between Seacrest Field (72nd and "A" streets) and Holmes Park (Normal and Van Dorn intersection) from 3 to 11 p.m. The last bus will leave Seacrest for Holmes Lake at 8:15 p.m. Limited Handi-Van service is also available for eligible individuals, and reservations can be made through StarTran at 476-1234. For those unable to make it to Holmes Park, 5 CITY-TV, cable channel 5, will carry the fireworks display live.
Seven bands will perform throughout the day and evening in lot #3. Bands performing from 12:30 through 5:30 are, in order, Jumpin' Kate, Lunicie, Patty Beckman Project, 4th Quarter Jinx and Deep Blue Heaven. At 5:30 p.m., Status State will perform as the opening act for the featured band, One More Time. One More Time will perform three sets from 7 p.m. until just before the fireworks begin. The performances are sponsored by Eye Care Specialities.
Other major sponsors for the celebration are Pepsi, Embassy Suites, Wal-Mart and MindVision/eSellerate.
Other events include:
A variety of food will be available at lot #4 on the north shore throughout the day. The Jaycees will operate an information booth near the old marina, and the Red Cross will have first aid available.
In case of bad weather, the fireworks display will take place July 5th at Holmes Lake beginning at dusk. No other events would be rescheduled to the 5th.

A Day At Skyjacker
By Mike
"TXJEEPER" Cohn
we took a visit to West Monroe, Louisiana. In order to kick off
the Skyjacker Monster Motor Nationals, Skyjacker hosted a sort
of open house, dubbed "A Day at Skyjacker."
Held on a Thursday, the event was open to anyone who wanted to
join in the fun.
In addition to the usual ways of getting the word
out, Skyjacker had one of the local radio stations broadcasting
on-site all day. This coupled with the fact that Skyjacker is
situated right next to the Interstate, brought a nice turn-out,
despite being a weekday.
The gang at Skyjacker put on a great open house.
On a very warm day in November, free popcorn and Coke's were available
for all attendees as they walked around and crawled under all
of the Skyjacker project vehicles. They also had monster trucks
on display and were even giving free rides in the Sergeant Smash
monster truck.
On-hand all day long were the Skyjacker staff,
giving demonstrations on their rockcrawling course in their Rock
Ready TJs and roaming the grounds answering questions.
While visiting,
we also had a chance to crawl underneath their Hummer H2 and Jeep
Liberty project vehicles to check out the newly-available suspension
kits and Platinum shocks.
It was a great
time and a unique opportunity to rub elbows with the guys behind
the scenes at Skyjacker. Not even at SEMA could you see this full
line of project rigs and have the chance to ask all the questions
you could ever want answers to. All this on a beautiful day in
a relaxed, family atmosphere. Let's hope they do it again soon!

Our current energy system is wasteful in part because power plants have to be ready for sudden surges in demand. At present, the U.S. gets half of its electricity from coal. King Coal may be a cheap date, but coal-fired power plants can't be turned on and off easily, so they often produce extra power. A new energy storage system could cut peak demand fuel consumption in half by using that excess energy to chill liquid nitrogen and oxygen. Then, the next time demand spikes, the mixture can be boiled using waste heat to produce power.
Researchers at the University of Leeds and the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed the new system, which uses excess energy produced by power plants to chill a nitrogen-oxygen mixture called cryogen. Presently, when demand spikes, natural gas plants are quickly powered up. But those plants are expensive and inefficient. Boiling the cryogen at these peak times would supplant the use of some natural gas and make what is used go farther because it would be burned with the pure oxygen from the mixture.
One more benefit: burning natural gas this way produces less of the greenhouse gas nitrogen oxide. And the carbon dioxide it produces is in solid form — dry ice — making it easy to capture. So the system is not just more environmentally friendly: it's also cheaper.
Now to get this great idea out of the lab and into the grid!

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A man who shot and wounded two Memphis police officers and then barricaded himself in a home that later was engulfed in flames had refused to negotiate with officers, authorities say.
The Commercial Appeal reports that police say Aaron Dumas — wanted on attempted murder charges — opened fire when officers tried to arrest him at a home in south Memphis on Tuesday. News video footage later showed the home with flames crackling through the rooftop and neighboring streets blocked off by emergency vehicles. Dumas' body was later found in a bathtub inside the charred debris of the home.
Police Director Toney Armstrong told the newspaper that Officer Timothy Jackson, a five-year veteran, was struck in the leg.
Armstrong said the suspect then barricaded himself in the house. He said "numerous attempts" were made to get the suspect to come out of the residence, including throwing a communication device into the house, which the suspect threw back out.
Armstrong said officers then tossed a chemical agent into the home a few hours later — shortly before Dumas fired back, hitting a second officer, 15-year veteran Paul Hutchinson.
Both officers were released Tuesday night from the Regional Medical Center in Memphis.
After the second shooting, Armstrong said Dumas set the house on fire and remained inside.
A police spokeswoman did not immediately return a call to The Associated Press.
James Wilhite was walking near the scene when officers first attempted to enter the home.
"I heard one shot," Wilhite told the newspaper. "Immediately following that, I heard a volley of shots. Then immediately after, an officer came out limping, supported by another officer. He was limping, noticeably in pain."
Dumas is wanted in connection with a shooting last week in the south Memphis area, according to authorities. Police said a woman, believed to be a former girlfriend of Dumas was shot along with her brother following an argument with Dumas. A spokeswoman at the Regional Medical Center said Tuesday that the man and woman were hospitalized and in good condition.
Last year, Dumas allegedly set fire to an ex-girlfriend's sport utility vehicle, according to an affidavit. He was accused of throwing an ignitable substance into the backseat of the SUV because he was "angry over a recent incident," sparking a fire that also spread to another vehicle.
Authorities said Tuesday's incident could have been worse.
On Dec. 14, city police Officer Martoiya Lang was killed while serving a drug warrant.
"Things can go very, very wrong very, very quickly" at such scenes, Armstrong said.

Maybe the bit from the rod to the water is in the sun all day, but depending on how much line is out changes which part of the line is in direct sun. And to me the tension on a thread when trolling a small lure in the water is way less than a hellium balloon catching wind gusts.junglesmacks wrote:Lol.. the hell it's not! What do you think fishing line does all day? It sits in the sun and salt under tension! The new line that I'm talking about isn't that old school clear plastic stuff.. it's micro-braided fabric type stuff made of spectra. It's crazy strong for it's diameter. Put it this way.. 50lb test line is now about as thick as common upholstery thread. The same stuff that I sewed my pants up with. I've had the same line on my one reel for 5 years now and it's still plenty strong. A week on the playa flying some balloons is nothing..illy dilly wrote:Only, thought though, will the fishing line be able to hold up in the heat? Can it withstand the UV?
Fishing line isn't really meant to just be sitting in the sun, constantly under tension.
But I was just asking.
I haven't had any experience with 'braided Spectra fibers' I didn't know 'spectra' was even a solid tangible thing. (insert "TheMoreYouKnow" image here )
Sounds good to me.

Links, 7.12.10Posted: July 12, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Link Love, Military, Troy 2 Comments
Crafty connections: An unusual chance meeting: Guy gets dragged to a craft show by his wife, spots a family tree quilt on display, realizes he's working on the same lines. Who knew? The quilter, Nancy Frantz of Marine City, Mich., called her creation the Family Forest Quilt. (What a great idea, by the way.) Bill Saunders spotted the quilt during his unenthusiastic tour of the craft show and realized one of the family lines on it matched a line he was researching. See? Craft shows are good for you!
In-deed: I liked this guide to researching with deeds. Julie Miller explains why they are a support beam of solid genealogy research, and how to mine them for important information. One interesting point: Deeds are not always recorded at the exact time of the land transaction. Miller cites an example from her research in which a deed was recorded decades after the fact.
Troy, NY marriages: The Troy Times-Record reports that early 20th-century marriage records from Troy, NY — more than 30,000 of them — are now available online due to the efforts of the Troy Irish Genealogy Society. Visit the TIGS site to view the records, which span 1908-1935. Another praiseworthy partnership between volunteers and public record repositories.
Army abbreviations, decoded: Those with ancestors in the Canadian military might enjoy this article on Canadian military abbreviations. If you are researching someone with something like "11thlFofC" next to their name, check it out.
Off topic, but important: Finally, I know a lot of us are on the road, having fun in the sun and playing in the water. Read this post about how people in danger of drowning don't look the way they do in the movies. The author compellingly notes that it's possible to be literally steps away from a person about to go under and not realize they're in trouble if you don't know what to look for. Potentially lifesaving information that I'll be taking along with me on my beach trips, for sure.
Have fun and stay safe!
2 Comments on "Links, 7.12.10"
Fab story about the craft show/family forest quilt! Ya never know! Also, thanks for the link to Mario Vittone's post about what drowning looks like – very informative.
I attended a meeting of the TIGS when I was out that way. I can report that I found some marriages connected to my family in their index. They are a hard-working praise-worthy group.

The Swedish Parliament governs regulations and resource allocation for Swedish universities. Agencies involved in the higher education sector include the Swedish National Agency for Higher Education.
The academic year is divided into two semesters – autumn semester from late August to mid January, and spring semester from mid January to June. Autumn semester is considered the start of the academic year and most programmes we offer start then. During the summer (June–August) we offer single-subject courses and in December there's a short winter break.
One semester of full-time studies comprises 20 weeks and 30 Swedish higher education credits (30 ECTS). Full-time studies mean that a student is expected to spend 40 hours/week on studies including lectures, group work, seminars and independent studies.
Part-time courses are offered in sections of 7.5 credits or 15 credits and usually run at half speed or less (50% or 25%) over a full semester to be easily combined with other part-time courses running parallel. We also offer 30 credit courses at half speed over two semesters. Check course descriptions carefully so that you know at what speed your courses run.

Here's the configuration with bike lanes on each side. The schematic shows car parking on one side of the street. In other sections of the road there would be insufficient room for any parking, and the buffers would be wider:
Here's a schematic of the configuration with the lanes on the same side, in the case where car parking is on the same side as the lanes (the parking could also be on the opposite curb):
The San Francisco Bike Coalition has promoted the one-sided configuration. They publish artists renderings of cheerful cyclists pedaling in the sun in green-painted lanes. It's part of their "Connecting the City" campaign.
However, there's two serious issues with the one-sided configuration. One is that at some point the lanes end. At each end, one direction must transition between the left and right of the road. This requires first crossing on-coming vehicular traffic, then merging with cars moving in the same direction. Usually when you merge with traffic, you look over your shoulder to make sure it's clear, but since you're facing on-coming car traffic at this point looking backward must be done with exceptional care. Even with a mirror, which reduces the head movement required to look back, your attention is removed from the on-coming lane. The same problem occurs for cyclists making left-hand turns: doing so requires crossing first the on-coming bike lane, then an on-coming vehicle lane, and finally the lane of car traffic moving in the same direction. There is enormous opportunity for failure here.
Another problem with the one-sided configuration is pedestrians, who in the park are often distracted tourists or children, must now check for bikes from the left, then bikes from the right, then cars from the left, then cars from the right in order to cross the street. With the lanes on each side of the road, cars and bikes are from the left, then cars and bikes are from the right. This latter case is the one which we've been trained most of our lives to handle. I don't have statistics to back this up, but it seems an inattentive pedestrian is at fare greater risk, and presents a far greater risk, in the one-sided configuration.
The two-sided configuration isn't great, either. With the bike lane between the parked cars and the curb, drivers moving between their vehicles and the side of the street need to watch for bikes. I'm not too worried about this: the 5-foot buffers should help. But on the 2-sided scenario cars may be parked on the side opposite the bike lanes.
So what's the solution? Of the two, I far prefer the two-sided set-up. And the much-neglected California Highway Design Manual chapter 1000 (PDF) agrees:
Class II bike lanes shall be one-way facilities. Two-way bike lanes (or bike paths that are contiguous to the roadway) are not permitted, as such facilities have proved unsatisfactory and promote riding against the flow of motor vehicle traffic.
Sure, the two-sided plan results in the loss of additional car parking, but car parking is not and should not be the priority here. The roads are primarily for transportation, and space is too precious in the city.
This may be controversial, but the City Charter has since 1978 been quite clear on the matter: San Francisco has a transit-first policy. But "transit first" doesn't simply promote mass-transit: it prioritizes all nonvehicular transportation. It's really worthwhile reading the whole thing, but here's an extract:
8A.115.3: Decisions regarding the use of limited public street and sidewalk space shall encourage the use of public rights of way by pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transit, and shall strive to reduce traffic and improve public health and safety.
This cuts straight to the core of the JFK issue. There's two reasons to allow cars in the park. One is to allow drivers to access the park itself. The other is to provide transportation from one side of the park to the other. But the presence of the cars here actively impedes park users who aren't in cars. Cyclists and pedestrians are not only endangered by all of the vehicles, but the noise from all the auto traffic spoils the tranquility which should be provided by the precious resource which is Golden Gate Park. If we want to encourage access by pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transit, if we are striving to reduce traffic in the park and improve public health and safety, the obvious approach is to extend the Sunday daylight restriction against motor vehicle access to JFK to 24-7. There's other roads into the Park, like Kezar and 19th Ave. JFK serves no critical purpose other than to facilitate and promote automobile use.
New York City is way ahead of San Francisco in many ways, and this is one of them: cars have been restricted from Central Park (except for 4 hours per day M-F) for many years. San Francisco need only follow its example.

Hello Mary, I stumbled in hear from somewhere and just realized I am a follower of yours, but I am not receiving your blog updates. I'm disappointed because I've obviously missed seeing some wonderful paintings from you, I wonder what's going on with that?
As always, beautiful painterly paintings, I hope I begin getting your updates.
