I have been experimenting and very happy with systemd on my old laptop - achieving 8.5s kernel+userspace boot time on an Acer travelmate 291. Unfortunately I took it a step too far and moved systemd-udev-trigger.service unit into my ~ and now boot is stuck (I can get single-user mode only) and have figured out the simplest way out of this predicament would be to recreate /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udev-trigger.service and then reboot to get my /home partition back. Could someone post this file please. I would rather not have to restore from an old backup if possible.
Many thanks,

I do not know why you thought this was a good idea...

After=systemd-udevd-kernel.socket systemd-udevd-control.socket
ExecStart=/usr/bin/udevadm trigger --type=subsystems --action=add ; /usr/bin/udevadm trigger --type=devices --action=add
That was fast, thank you so very much. Will try this out in the morning when I have the laptop with me and no doubt mark this one as solved. I think its time for more reading up on the inner workings of systemd and less experimenting! To anyone else experimenting - one lesson learnt is that many crucial unit files are set to [Service] Type=oneshot for good reason so setting those to Type=simple will most likely break dependencies -> break the boot process!
Finally, has anyone written a custom unit to mount /home? I read somewhere that this was a good idea for faster loading of /home partition.
thanks again,
I read this last week which suddenly seems very appropriate:
"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." — Albert Einstein.
Never judge a man until you have walked 1000 miles in his shoes.
..that way you'll be 1000 miles away and you'll have his shoes.
Your fstab is autogenerated into mount units. You can find them at /run/systemd/generator. You should be able to copy those, but you probably need to add a WantedBy= to them, as otherwise enabling them will not symlink them anywhere. Or else you could always just symlink them manually to the proper places. I would assume that these would be the local-fs.target and local-fs-pre.target. I would think that / (or -.mount) would be in the pre, and the others would be in local-fs.target, but I am not entirely sure about this.
If you want to decrease boot time, you can take a tad off if you append libahci.ignore_sss=1 as this disables the kernel spinning disks up one at a time to check their existence. Presumably this was created to save power on mobile systems, but if you have disks there, they are going to spin up no matter what, so you might as well disable the polling.
Will test out that kernel option - those are safer to mess around with.. Also, I have just come across detailed information from the systemd author which I shall be reading carefully before blindly experimenting further. I found it clearly indexed in 18 parts (to date) of a 'Systemd for administrators' blog/documentation series here:
thanks a lot WonderWoofy and I hope this helps others,

Yeah, there is actually a post on how you can reduce boot time. One of the examples given is that if you don't use things like LVM or any other device mapper controlled tool, you can make the systemd-udev-settle.service. You need to figure out what your computer is actually going through on boot. There is a built in function to make a chart to show you everything, or you can use something like bootchart2. Bootchart2 is much more informative, but I think the built in gives adequate information. Also, 'systemd-analyze blame' will give you a very brief rundown of what your computer is starting at boot and how long each things takes.
SOLVED: thanks a lot for your helpful tips will definitely look into systemd-udev-settle.service. I didn't manage to get bootchart2 working the other day. System-analyze blame is what got me messing with systemd-udev-trigger.service in the first place!

Are you using readahead? I have heard reports that e4rat is faster, but I use an SSD, so both of those things don't benefit me at all. In fact they can be destructive to an SSD since they simple gather boot files and write them to a single place (so more writes). With a nearly non-existent seek time with SSDs, this serves no really useful purpose.
But with a rotational HDD, it can make huge differences.
Edit: Oh yeah, and i wanted to comment on you changing the service Type= from oneshot to simple. The two are not the same whatsoever. Oneshot is exaclty what it sounds like, it runs through the commands (ExecStartPre=, ExecStart=, then ExecStartPost=) and then finishes. These are usually the one listed as "dead" when you run just systemctl without arguments. This is because they are exactly that... dead... they have done what they needed to do and exited, they did not fail, but they are not alive any longer. Simple is used to actually run something in a tradition daemon kind of a way. I believe it is just used for things that run continuously, but do not fork and typicall do not have a pid file.
I have seen reports of people saying that vconsole.conf takes some time to set up on boot (systemd-vconsole-setup.service). I do not experience this, but if you use the default keymap and console font, you can actually remove this file and/or mask the service file. Though I think that since you are from Central America, there is a change that your system is not in English.
I would also imagine that if you have no specific modules being loaded per the /etc/modules-load.d directory, then masking systemd-modules-load.service file will proabbly not harm anything.
Here is some info about decreasing boot time. It is written by Lennart Poettering himself, so the information is certainly good.
In the future, instead of simply editing the files in /usr/lib/systemd/system, copy them to /etc/systemd/system and then edit them there. The files in /etc will take priority over the files in /usr if they bear the same name. So if you f*ck one up real bad, you can simply delete (or rename) the file in question and then re-enable (probably disable then enable) to create the correct symlink.

Interesting about readahead, I will look into that one. I read Lennart Poettering's article the other day and in it is mentioned service type=simple. it really made a speed differnce to the running of systemd-logind.service. Also, I have actually removed vconsole.conf and it reset the tty kepmap back to the default installed (US) but that's ok, I am considering recreating it though it doesn't really bother me. My X keymap is not affected (I bought the laptop in the UK so this is uk keymap). I don't have any modules in that directory so disabed and moved the systemd-modules-load.service out of the way now. Your last comment is excellent, it certainly makes it a lot more failsafe!
My laptop is not SSD unfortunately, its a 1st generation intel centrino Intel Pentium M 1.4GHz single processor, running aa 7200rpm ide hdd and maxed the ram with 2gb. My hdd is 40gb in size and more than enough for me and it never ceases to amaze me how fast it can run compared to a work i7 processor 64-bit laptop on Windows7 if the config + software is carefully selected.
I have blacklisted a number of kernel modules in modprobe.conf before installing linux-ck kernel (from the binaries optimised for my processor):
install ohci1394 /bin/false
install firewire-ohci /bin/false
install firewire_core /bin/false
# Peter: disable ethernet port
# Peter: this next line required for tethering!
install mii /bin/false
install 8139too /bin/false
install 8139cp /bin/false
install bluetooth /bin/false
install btusb /bin/false
install mxm_wmi /bin/false
install ttm /bin/false
install nouveau /bin/false
install joydev /bin/false
install serio_raw /bin/false
install pcmcia_core /bin/false
install pcmcia_rsrc /bin/false
install yenta_socket /bin/false
install psmouse /bin/false
install lpc_ich /bin/false
#Peter: do NOT uncomment this line as it will prevent kernel from compiling wit$
###install crc_itu_t /bin/false
# Peter: according to laptop archwiki article:
options usbcore autosuspend=1
I didn't quite understand your comment about systemd-udev-settle.service - did you mean I can replace systemd-udev-trigger.service with the ..settle.service instead?

Yes I am using readahead, I struggled getting e4rat to work last week and went back to this. So its goodbye consolekit+initscripts and welcome systemd! Incidentally, this is what I have for system-analyze at the moment:
peter ~ $ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 3135ms (kernel) + 6079ms (userspace) = 9215ms
peter ~ $ systemd-analyze blame
691ms systemd-udev-trigger.service

420ms systemd-sysctl.service
394ms dev-mqueue.mount
387ms var-lib-ntp-proc.mount
280ms systemd-udevd.service
220ms var-lib-ntp-lib.mount
145ms systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
124ms home.mount
104ms dev-sda2.swap
87ms systemd-vconsole-setup.service
80ms var-lib-ntp-etc-services.mount
76ms var-lib-ntp-etc-resolv.conf.mount
46ms systemd-remount-fs.service
34ms tmp.mount
7ms home-peter-.cache-chromium.mount
3ms systemd-user-sessions.service
times seem to vary quite a bit from boot to boot, not sure why. Can someone spot something more I could improve in my fstab file?
# UUID=4bbe422c-ea53-4518-970f-dfaf0e747c94

#Peter: chromium cache in /home:
tmpfs /home/peter/.cache/chromium tmpfs mode=1777,noatime 0 0
/var/lib/pacman.db /var/lib/pacman ext2 loop,noatime 0 0
Thanks for all the pointers, I think I will backup my /usr/lib/systemd directory so I don't lose all I have achieved with the next systemd upgrade..

Code blocks use square brackets like [ and ].
I mean that the only reason why the udev settle service should be needed is if you use something that utilizes the device mapper module. I am not sure if this gets pulled in with Arch if you do not use ofe of these things (ie. dm-raid, lvm, dm-crypt+LUKS). But if it does and you do not use one of these things, you don't need it. It can be masked.
That makes me think of one more thing. Instead of moving the actual file from the directory to disable it, instead mask it with
# systemctl mask <unit-to-be-masked>
systemd-udev-trigger.service apparently runs the udev rules, so is a vital part of your computers overall functionality. Messing with that is probbaly very bad. I would imagine that the configurations of the systemd-*.service files are all written the way they are for a reason. I would venture to guess that the developers probably know what Type= is appropriate for the files that ship with systemd. The other service files from 3rd part developers might be a bit more maliable, but still I would typically guess that their understanding of the daemon in question is better than the end users.
You don't need the ntpd crap in your fstab. Running in a chroot is unnecessary.
Use noatime instead of relatime, it is faster all around.
Check out this post from Dave Reisner: http://blog.falconindy.com/articles/opt … tcpio.html
There is a thread about systemd startup times in the forums. You should probably read through that, since you seem to be totally infatuated with boot time. There are some good pointers in there on how to speed things up.
Thanks for the useful tips as usual. Will definitely use the 'mask' option, I wasn't aware of that one and yes, this has turned out to be a very entertaining waste of time for me haha.

..that way you'll be 1000 miles away and you'll have his shoes.
I have blacklisted a number of kernel modules in modprobe.conf
What you're doing isn't blacklisting -- you're using install rules to force insertion to fail. It's a hack. It means that kmod will still resolve the alias, find dependencies, and try to insert the module. If you properly use the 'blacklist' directive instead, kmod will simply ignore the module.
I suggest you start using /etc/modprobe.d/ instead of /etc/modprobe.conf as well. The latter isn't recommended, and may some day stop being read.
thanks a lot falconindy, will definitely look into that one when I have more time!

Steve Carell and Kiera Knightley Hit the Road in 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World' Trailer
Now that we are well into 2012, it is a pretty safe bet that apocalyptic movies are going to be trending all year long. Focus Features just released a new trailer for their upcoming romantic comedy called 'Seeking a Friend for The End Of World,' starring Steve Carell and Kiera Knightley, and it has been picking up a lot of internet buzz.
In the funny and offbeat trailer, a 70 mile wide meteor is on a collision course with Earth and there is no way to stop it from destroying mankind. Faced with impending doom, people try to knock-out everything on their bucket lists with the three remaining weeks that they have left.
When Steve Carell's wife leaves him he sets off on a journey to spend his remaining days with his high school sweet heart. Carell's character is being accompanied by his lovely neighbor, played by Kiera Knightley, who is trying to reach her family before time runs out.
Will they find true love? Will they end up together? If you can't answer that one, then you probably haven't watched many romantic comedies.

We will never spam you. Honest.
May 18, 2004
It's Tuesday! Where's my Camera?
A whole lot is going on at Randompixel, though most of it is behind the scenes. To facilitate these changes, I'm forgoing posting a new camera this week. Instead, I and the random pixies have been readying a huge new group of cameras to be released over the next two weeks.
To put it in perspective, the first release was of 7 cameras, in 1998, of which 2 came back. The second release, the 2000 release, consisted of 12 cameras, of which 5 came back.
The most recent release, started three weeks ago, was of 15 cameras. As of today, none of this latest batch has returned but, if history is any measure, the first cameras should be coming in any day now.
This weekend we prepared 51(!) cameras to be released over the next 10 days. This batch is larger than all of the previous camera releases combined.
On the website front, I'm working on a minor redesign of the home page, with the intention of giving more frequent blog-style updates, letting you know about cameras that have made their way home, recent news or blog articles, and an extremely comprehensive F.A.Q.
Also, I'm going to try out comments on a per-photo level, so you can let others know, for example, that there's no such thing as a 'notchback Mustang', and that it looks more like a '67 than a '65. We'll be able to see how it goes starting in a week or so.
So, to sum up: Randompixel growing. Tons of new cameras. New features. No camera this week. New camera next Tuesday.
Thanks for your support, and have a wonderful week!
April 20, 2004
A camera, alone in the world. Each Randompixel camera was given to a stranger. Stickers on the camera instruct the recipient to take a few pictures and pass it along. When the camera is done, it is dropped in the mail, it returns home, and the pictures are posted here.
This site has been nearly six years in the making. It started in the Fall of 1998 with six cameras given to complete strangers. Over the next two years, two cameras came back.
In the Summer of 2000 ten more cameras were released, each named after a friend. Emily is the first camera to be posted on Randompixel, a site that most of my friends thought would never actually see the light of day.
Welcome to Randompixel. Each Tuesday a new camera will be posted. be sure to subscribe to the announcement list or the RSS feed to be notified when the next camera is posted.

FLAT EARTH SOCIETY and MOTH
Over the last couple months while I've been traveling two more Dimentia 13 downloads have become available. I've been scurrying around too much to promote them like I should have been. So here goes:
Flat Earth Society is Dimentia 13's pop album. It was 1989 and I had been making Dimentia 13 records for five years. Two years before the first Dimentia 13 release I'd been a member of the hardcore punk band Zero Defex who had also been on a few compilation albums. After seven years in the music business at age 25 I had yet to be able to earn anything close to a living wage and I was getting desperate. It's amazing how old you can feel at 25.
In spite of being known as a hardcore punk guy in Zero Defex and a psychedelic dude in Dimentia 13, I had always been interested in pure pop music for its own sake. In those days I wrote songs constantly. When preparing the Dimentia 13 records I tended to pick the most psychedelic pieces from among the dozens of demos I made each year. Or else I'd dress up the pop songs I wrote in psychedelic clothing, adding vintage Farfisa organs or Mellotrons or fuzztone guitars to disguise the goofball pop songs underneath. Which is what most of the original psychedelic bands of the Sixties did anyway.
By the late 80s a lot of vaguely psychedelic and overtly Sixties inspired bands were selling records and getting noticed by the emerging "alternative" scene — bands like REM, Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians, The Stone Roses, and a boatload of others now long since forgotten. I wanted a piece of that action. So I decided to tone down those elements I felt were tying Dimentia 13 to the narrow confines of garage/psych revival scene. There would be no Mellotrons or Farfisa organs, no sitars or backwards tapes, the fuzztone guitars would take on a more contemporary sound, and I would admit musical influences and lyrical references from after 1967.
I also worked out a new guitar sound I was particularly proud of. I bought a giant red hollow bodied Eko guitar, made in Italy in the late Sixties and plugged it into both a bass and a guitar amp at the same time, added some vintage spring reverb and turned it up to seventeen. In the studio it sounded amazing. Unfortunately that sound didn't transfer well to tape. You get a hint of how awesome it was on the James Bond theme-inspired riffing of album's first song Can This Be True Love but elsewhere it gets lost.
The band on this album was me on lead vocals and lead guitar, Jeff Lisk on drums, Joe Nofziger on bass, and Louanne Varholick on vocals and keyboards. Jeff was a hot shit drummer in Chicago at the time. He was very good and he knew it. His playing on the record is really sharp and precise, but it's a little too clean for my tastes these days. Joe had been my best friend since seventh grade and kindly drove all the way up to Milwaukee from Columbus, Ohio to play on the album. Louanne had been the bassist on the previous album, Disturb The Air. But she was a better keyboard player and singer so I had her do what she did best instead of being hampered with the bass, which she was never all that enthusiastic about. The musicianship on this album is far tighter and more professional than on the previous Dimentia 13 records.
I hoped the resulting album would help me break out of the tight bound confines of the pysch genre and maybe even make some money. In the end, though, it didn't sell any better than the previous Dimentia 13 records. In fact, it did a little worse than the albums that came before. In the end, it was the final album I put out on Midnight Records.
It took me a long time to start liking this album again. At the time of its release I thought it was great. But when it met with poor sales and critical indifference I started looking at it as a failure, a reminder of a bad time in my life and a misguided attempt to sell out and be commercial. Nowadays I can listen to it and enjoy it, but for years I couldn't.
These days I sometimes play a couple songs from this album when I give talks about my books. Buddha Was A Good Ol' Boy always gets a laugh and God Pt. III, which I also play at speaking gigs sometimes, is a prototype for some of the topics I write about these days. In fact the lyrics on most of the album are really philosophical and very much inspired by the Zen training I'd been going through for close to a decade by then.
Here to tempt you into buying the album are two tracks that I had intended to include as bonus tracks on the download. I'm not sure why I didn't. I think I just spaced out and forgot to send them to the people at Smog Veil Records who arranged the download. The good news is that you now can have them absolutely free of charge. Hopefully they will act like the first taste of crack a dealer gives you and make you need to buy the rest.
This instrumental was meant to be a bonus track on the original CD release. But it never made it on there and I don't remember why. It's based on a riff I once heard the Meat Puppets play. It's also the most overtly psychedelic song recorded during the album sessions. So maybe that's why it was left off. I like it a lot now and if I could I would make this the first song on the album.
This is probably the most overtly pop song recorded for the album. Again, I don't recall why it was dropped. In fact, I didn't even remember recording it for the album until I found it on a cassette about a year ago. I remember thinking at the time I wrote the song that it had the potential to become a college radio hit. So why would I have left it off the record? Who knows? Anyway, I was especially proud of ripping off one of the riffs from the 70s prog rock masterpiece Hocus Pocus by the Dutch band Focus in the middle section.
This was the final album I recorded as Dimentia 13 for Midnight Records. It was never released by them, though, because I had a huge argument with the record label. I felt like I deserved to be treated better. In retrospect they treated me pretty fairly. It's just that they were never very open with me about what they were doing. Whatever.
I remember trying to correct some of the mistakes I'd made on Flat Earth Society with this record. I was no longer so obsessed with making a contemporary sounding album. So some of the overtly psychedelic sounds I'd eliminated on Flat Earth Society are allowed to return. The result is a much more balanced album. It's still more of a pop album than the early Dimentia 13 records. But it's truer to what I really wanted to hear.
Because of the disputes with Midnight Records, this album was never really finished. I made a mix that I submitted to Midnight. But it was awful. I was trying to recapture the sound that Glen Rehse had created when he produced the Disturb The Air album. But I didn't really know how he accomplished it. So I just overloaded every track with reverb and echo until the whole thing sounded like it had been recorded in a cave. It was a murky depressing sound and for years I thought of this as a murky depressing album.
Then late in 2009 when I was cleaning out some old boxes I came across a cassette of rough mixes for the album. These were created as reference mixes to guide in making the final mixes later. I told the engineer to simply make all of the tracks we recorded audible and not add any effects. When I listened to these again I discovered that the album itself was not murky and depressing at all. It was just all that reverb and shit I added on later.
For the currently available download version, I used these rough mixes and ran them through a digital mixing system to bring out some of the nuances. The only song on which I used the mix I had considered "final" back in 1991 was Anjalina. The rest are rough mixes.
The band on this album was the live version of Dimentia 13 as it existed in 1991. I sang lead vocals and tortured the guitars. Joe Nofziger, my best friend since seventh grade plays bass and sings backing vocals, and Steve McKee, once the drummer of my favorite Akron-based punk band The F-Models plays drums.
The lyrics are a kind of autobiographical rock opera about my return to Akron after three years in Chicago. But that would have been such an incredibly mundane subject for a rock opera that I never let anyone know that's what it was. The Pamela Song is about a girl I dated in Akron. The Calico Girl in the song of that name is someone I left behind in Chicago. That same girl is also the subject of Panther.
Anjalina isn't about a girl at all, but is about my friend Jim Bradler who had died a few years before very suddenly when he was only 25 years old. The song lists off a whole string of phrases he used to say, like "give me her number."
Precious One is my attempt at writing a Badfinger song. But I was too embarrassed to use the original heart-on-my-sleeve romantic lyrics I'd written and instead wrote a bunch of psychedelic sounding nonsense. Love Song '73 was my attempt to write the kind of song The Partridge Family might have played in 1973. Again it's about someone I knew. Walk Like An Insect contains my poor attempt to do a rap about the then-current state of the country. Another Song About Heaven is a parody of the band Warrant, who were huge at the time. The reason I wrote a Warrant parody is because Joe had been in a band called Blu whose drummer Steve Chamberlin had moved to California and joined Warrant. We'd both been friends with Steve and were kind of amazed by this.
Honey I'm Your Ghost was an attempt to write a Cramps song. Lux Interior was from Akron. Smash Your Head was about the frustrations of trying to make it in the music business. Somehow all of this stuff related to Akron and what was happening in my life there at the time.
I still really like this album. I know it sounds egotistical to give your own record a glowing review. But I was trying to write and record songs that I personally liked. So, of course I'm gonna like them! But I feel like this is a happy, upbeat album even though some of the specific subject matter is not. It's an album about fighting the good fight even when you feel like you're probably going to lose in the end.
Here is my favorite song from the MOTH LP, available for free on this here blog to hopefully make you feel guilty enough to buy the rest:

The Shadow – Birthplace of Brilliance and CreativitySaturday, October 3rd, 2009
We all have unlimited potential. We keep most of it locked away in a vast, mysterious area of the psyche called the "Shadow." The Shadow is the birthplace of brilliance, the crucible of creativity.
Paradoxically, it is also the domain of our most destructive impulses.
Fictional characters like serial killer Hannibal Lecter become popular icons because at some level we recognize them as manifestations of dark desires we keep locked away in the dungeon of our Shadow. But Mozart, Shakespeare and Mother Theresa are imprisoned in this very same dungeon.
Dualism does not exist in the Shadow realm. There is no distinction between potential for "good" and potential for "evil" – it's all the same. That's what makes the Shadow such a frightening and dangerous place.

Did I miss something? Does there need to be an alternative to the SOPA/ProtectIP? If the bills in the senate and congress get voted down, does the internet still have to suffer from more regulation?
Having an alternative is always a good way to seek compromise, but 'everyone else' just say that its fine how it is?
Different perspective. A bill says that the EPA should be stripped of all enforcement powers. Does the opposition need to table something that says "we'll meet you half way, but you asked for too much." Or can they all wisen up and say "hmmm, the way it is seems to be fine"?

text: Hello, I am going to work with human intestine model. A pill cam will pass through the intestine and look for any abnormalities inside the intestine. First I need to figure out some suitable modelling technic depending on the data. But the problem is the pill cam. It will move through the intestine and I need to model every cross section while the pill cam taverses through the intestine. Could anyone give me some suggestion ? I think at first I need to find out the medial axis of the intestine and then pass the pill cam along the medial axis. I need some suggestion as how to find out the medial axis for a complicated data like intestine. Could you provide any suggestion or help? Thanks in advance.

They also rated Iceland's banks as AAA in 2008. As usual, too much power in too few greedy hands.
yessir! And too many people being given benefits right and left that have learned to depend on the system. In Greece, for example, serial killers and child molesters are actually able to receive the Greek equivalent of Social Security Disability-no freaking wonder they went tits up.
I take it you're against social safety nets extending to convicted criminals. Presumably while in jail they don't need benefits. I take it that you mean here, after their debt to society has been paid you don't think they should receive benefits for which they paid? Is the issue that nobody will hire them, and there is no other safety net to prevent starvation?
Ruth-I can't say that it would terribly upset me if a serial killer or child molester starved to death. "After their debt is paid to society"? I know that society considers a certain degree of repaying of a debt presumed to be measurable through arguments about law, etc. But seriously, when is the debt of someone who commits such a horrible act truly paid?
I consider Nelson Mandela a moral role on this issue.
If instead of truth and reconciliation, the black majority had punished everybody involved in the horrors of apartheid by removing them from social security nets like social security and disability, the country would have self-destructed.
It's not just immoral, it's dangerous to treat an entire group as undeserving, disgusting, and inhuman. As members of the most despised minority in the US, we need to promote reconciliation rather than persecution, for our own survival. Otherwise women who use the morning after pill after rape could be denied social security because they're "murderers", etc. The boundaries of despised groups become fluid quickly when it suits the most powerful.
A serial killer is not the same as a woman who takes birth control; nor is a child molester a person who has any intention on not harming again. To compare the two is asinine-even though many conservatives see fit to do so all the time (but still even Mississippi rejected person-hood for the "newly fertilized", so there may be hope for conservatives even yet. Yes, I still see a person who goes out of their way to harm another as un-deserving and inhuman. I probably always will. When your country is already hurting economically (as Greece has been for years), I am all for economizing. You can't keep increasing social safety nets unless you have the money to do so.
There must be a hell of a lot of pedos in Greece if they've wrecked the economy! No, this is the usual right-wing bollocks about all economic problems being blamed on the unemployed/poor. Sorry, I'm wrong. Some of the problems are usually the fault of immigrants/ dark-skinned people too.
Once upon a time it was an actual social institution there (pederast and catamite). No, I'm not blaming anything on the poor or unemployed-Ted Bundy was hardly poor for that matter nor were the Catholic priests who were involved in the huge scandal that rocked the Vatican over this past year. So I don't exactly understand your premise that blaming them for their actions is right-wing talk for discrimination against the poor or unemployed. If they find themselves unhirable AFTER the act(s) they commit, then that really is purely their own fault. Oh wait no, I forgot- SOCIETY is to blame. That's right!
I've shifted a large chunk of my portfolio to physical possession of silver bullion, having guessed correctly that credit problems would continue for many major economies. Time will tell whether this was a good move.
A lot of ads for gold investment are cons. The right wing loves these scams. People are frightened into seeking gold as a more secure investment. Then when the customer calls, he or she is switched to sales of gold coins (which are unregulated) at highly inflated prices.

Posada Margherita in Tulum, Mexico is among the top spots to eat in Tulum. Posada was one of our most memorable meals. We'd read of the 'Pasta Nazi', as the locals call him. Alessandro Carozzino, an Italian ex-pat who runs the hotel and restaurant with his wife is rather stringent about the rules. But then I would be too if I made fresh pasta by the individual order. This was a rather unexpected beach meal! … Continue reading

So we didn't have an underwater camera and I wish we did, because it is hard to describe our underwater adventure without them, but I will try. The pictures we do have from the trip are mostly of a little known cenote on a secluded beach that dumps into the Caribbean Sea a bit north of the Tulum Ruins. So our adventure begins with a little bit of a hangover from the previous night. Erik, … Continue reading
The cenotes are huge openings to underground cave/river systems. Basically a cenote is a sinkhole that opens up to beautiful crystal clear blue waters. Some are huge some very small. Cenotes are all over the place on the Yucatan Peninsula. The closest and easiest to get to for us was the Gran Cenote. Gran Cenote is located just outside of downtown Tulum on the road to Coba. Jen and I decided to visit Gran Cenote … Continue reading
While in Tulum Jen and I were lucky enough to experience the Tulum Ruins. They are located on the very North End of Beach Rd. Beach Rd. dead ends at the ruins. Easy to get to by walking, biking or taking a cab. We walked the beach part way and then were forced by terrain and fences to walk the rest along Beach Rd. It was a beautiful twenty minute walk.

Jen and I decided to head down to Mexico and find out what it's all about. So we set our sights for Tulum on the Mexican Riviera.

Hope you are all having an amazing week!
I am finally getting used to the rainy and cold Autumn and I must say that I actually like wearing sweaters and coats.. Although it's hard to take pictures when it's raining which is annoying, I absolutely love sitting in my WARM room, listening to the rain and drinking a hot chocolate or coffee!
I've been wanting a pair of ankle boots for quite a while now but I couldn't find the right pair for me, too wide, too big, too small ... and then I found this pair from the teens' section from New Look and I can now say that I found the perfect pair. They fit me perfectly and they are the most comfortable heeled shoes I own! As for my necklace I've ordered it recently from Sheinside.. I love the colour of it! I will be soon having a shopping at: Sheinside post on my blog so watch out for that if you are interested:).
I am wearing:
Sweater - Tally Weijl
Top - Primark Men

Cordula Nussbaum, CSP
Expert for creatively chaotic time and selfmanagement
Cordula Nussbaum is regarded as 聯Germany聮s number one expert on creatively chaotic time and self-management聰 (Medienecho). In a humorous and pragmatic way, this top public speaker and best-selling author gives out-of-the-box thinkers, trendsetters and trail blazers advice on how to optimise their self-management and gain more time, satisfaction and success. This experienced economics journalist (FOCUS, Wirtschaftswoche, S眉ddeutsche Zeitung et al.) has developed an innovative approach to show what 聯new time management聰 can look like in today聮s professional working environment. As a self-confessed creatively chaotic person, she lives and practices what she preaches. She had her first 聳 and painful 聳 encounter with the issue of time management while working in the marketing department of an international corporation. Many years later, after she had completed her Master聮s degree in communication studies and psychology and after a lengthy period of study in Paris, she spent a lot of time with talented people and realized that the standard method for time and self-management simply did not work. She therefore created a 聯time management for creatively chaotic people聰. Junge Karriere, a German trade magazine, wrote about her in an article entitled 聯Classical time management did not help Cordula Nussbaum. Therefore she designed a system for creative minds聰. Cordula Nussbaum is one of the first university-qualified 聯Professional Speakers聰 GSA/SHB.

According to The Detroit News Ford's new, stretched Expedition won't get the name "Everest," which the company's marketing folks thought attracted too much attention to the truck's size. The +19' full-sized SUV will likely be called something less self-conscious, like Expedition L. Still, the paper notes the dissonance of Ford's launching a new, large SUV just as the company is cultivating a revamped brand image as an innovator and environmentally responsible carmaker. Apparently, that's why the truck won't show up at the Detroit show this January, but will instead sneak into market at "venues more appropriate for the target customer," likely to be notable by Bill Ford's absence. Guess that means an Earth Day tie-in is out of the question.

1997 Ford F-250 - Size MattersPosted in Features on November 4, 2013
Listen: Girls. Big trucks. It's just a way of life. It doesn't matter how fast or cool-lookin' your little sports car is when someone like Bobby Hartwell pulls in with his towering '97 Ford F-250 that rumbles so loud it sets off car alarms across the street. All the girls jump right out of their boyfriends' silly little exotic cars and run right over to the big-boy toy. They all want a ride, and we're more than happy to help them up! Of course, this big-ass rig isn't anywhere near street legal, but that doesn't quite matter when we're hanging out in the woods and mud pits with a girl on a crisp Saturday night.
A few years back, Bobby and his buddy Danny Watson decided to get together and build an insane off-road toy to play with on the weekends. The build would be a team project for this crew of off-road junkies. Admittedly it was a lot of hard work and more expensive than they would like to admit, but it paid off. They now have an extremely large and ridiculously loud truck to piss off the neighbors and a machine to party in all weekend.
The 5-ton military axles and gas-powered Ford 460ci big-block help this rig crawl out of anything it sinks into. Oscar at PRD racing bored and stroked the motor with a cobra jet kit, making it a 521ci big-block. A manual valve body Ford C6 transmission was attached to the nearly indestructible 12-inch drop SCS gearbox.The power is transferred to the wheels with a 4.7:1 gear ratio. A full cradle for strength, support, and suspension points was built off the factory framerails. The cradle and frame modifications were designed and fabricated by Heavy Metal Fab in Miami, which added a ton of beefy strength to the Ford chassis.
Once the control arms were cut to length, the bungs were welded on, Heims installed, and the custom Schedule 80 arms were bolted into the four-link brackets. King shocks are used for suspension, and heavy-duty chains help limit axle droop. These guys wanted to go as big as possible while still adhering to DOT towing standards, so 26x25 SoFlo custom wheels and 28Lx26 R2 silver town special service tires were ordered up from SoFlo Tire in Miami. Transporting these tires around isn't easy, but once they were bolted on and spinning in the mud, it was clear that Danny and Tim made the right choice. This awesome mega truck can be seen above all the other trucks at any given event and will hit the deepest pits other trucks won't dare to attempt.
Rear pinion caliper brakes were added to stop the truck, and an extra driveline brake is on the way. Moving the radiator to the bed keeps it from clogging up with mud. TruBendz Custom Exhaust reworked the headers for better aspiration—and sound! A B&M transmission cooler was installed so the tranny won't overheat when it's plowing through mud all day. The steering is kept under control thanks to a forklift hydraulic strut and an orbital valve.
A few last performance components like heavy-duty sway bars, new axleshafts, and a locker in the rear-end help the truck's performance in and around the pits. These mud lifers would like to thank Freshcut Landsaping and SoFlo Tires for their help and support.

Supreme Court Rules Undercover Agents Can Break Laws
HELENA, Mont. (AP) - The Montana Supreme Court says an undercover law enforcement officer can break some laws in the course of an investigation.
The justices reversed a lower court's ruling and said an officer did not engage in outrageous government conduct by using a fake drivers' license to fraudulently obtain a medical marijuana card.
The agent used the card to arrest two Havre medical marijuana providers selling above the legal limit.
Delaine and Malisa Fitzpatrick say the agent's conduct violated their due process.
But the Supreme Court said Thursday the agent violated state law but not the Fitzpatricks' rights.
The justices say in the 7-0 decision it was the type of illegal conduct necessary for the agent to infiltrate a criminal enterprise.
The justices say similar conduct has previously been upheld in court.

South Regional AnalysisPosted by nvr1983 on March 19th, 2008
This is our final regional analysis and we're running short on time to get them in before your brackets are due. Consequently, our analysis of the lower seeds will be very brief.
#1 Memphis:We can't remember a #1 seed that has gotten less hype as a potential nation champ or more criticism. We know the Tigers aren't going to remind anybody of a J.J. Redick shooting video. We know that they play in a relatively weak conference. We also know that they are 33-1 and were a short jumper away from being undefeated. We also know they may be the most talented team in the country. What does this all mean? We have no idea if the Tigers will win the title, but we do know that nobody wants to face Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts. They have an easy path to the Sweet 16 where they could face a very difficult challenge in Pitt. Schedule/Roster.
#2 Texas:In their first year AD (After Durant), Rick Barnes brings the Longhorns back to the tournament with a much better team even if certain LA residents who like to claim allegiance to Boston sports teams without suffering through the winter don't care about them (or college basketball) any more. These Longhorns are led by All-American candidate D.J. Augustin (19.8 PPG and 5.7 APG) who brings a strong supporting cast with him to the NCAA tournament. Although they are the #2 seed, some might argue they are the favorites in the region thanks to the committee's ridiculous decision to give them homecourt in the regional finals. That and the fact that they already have been UCLA and Tennessee this season. If they meet Memphis in Houston, the NBA scouts will definitely be watching for the great PG matchup (Rose vs. Augustin). Schedule/Roster
#3 Stanford: We actually have quite seen quite a few Cardinal games this year thanks to FSN. With Brook Lopez clearing that little issue of going to class, Stanford has become a very good team. Despite playing West #1 seed UCLA close two times in the past 2 weeks, we don't think Lopez has the support to get Stanford by either the Longhorns (in Houston) or Memphis (anywhere other than Palo Alto) to make it to the Final 4. Schedule/Roster
#4 Pittsburgh:Jamie Dixon's Panthers have done a great job overcoming injuries since their early-season win over Duke in Madison Square Garden. The Panthers tend to dominate inside with Sam Young and DeJuan Blair, but are yet another good team that struggles at the FT lines (22/44 in the Big East final). While we normally would look at their Big East title as a sign they are ready to make a deep run in the tournament, Pitt has a history of doing well in their conference tourney and failing to reach the Final 4. When we combine that with the fact that their physical style is subject to the tight NCAA tournament officiating (h/t to Jay Bilas), we are unsure about their chances to make it to San Antonio. However, we look forward to seeing Levance Fields against Derrick Rose (and possibly D.J. Augustin) in Houston. Schedule/Roster
#5 Michigan State:It seems like Drew Neitzel has been a Spartan forever. He has grown from a talented if inconsistent player into Tom Izzo's go-to guy. While he will have difficulty creating against more physical guards, Neitzel finds a way to get it done. If MSU can get there, it should be a very interesting matchup with Pitt in the Sweet 16. If they are to get past the Sweet 16, Neitzel will need a lot of help from Raymar Morgan. Schedule/Roster
#6 Marquette:The Golden Eagles are led by Jerel McNeal, who has overtaken his more hyped teammate Dominic James as the team's most vital player. While Marquette is not as good as advertised early in the season, but they should be good enough to get by Kentucky, which is a rematch of the 2003 Elite 8 matchup where Dwayne Wade's triple-double knocked out the last great Wildcat team. Schedule/Roster
#7 Miami (FL): After a torrid 12-0 start (helped by a cupcake schedule), the Hurricanes cooled off in the middle of the season before getting into the Big Dance with some big late season wins most notably over Duke. Miami will be challenged right off the bat by St. Mary's. To be honest, their potential 2nd round matchup may be easier than playing St. Mary's despite what the seeds say. Schedule/Roster
#8 Mississippi State: The Bulldogs were able to survive the falling Georgia Dome, but they were unable to withstand their buzzsaw namesakes from Athens, Georgia. MSU is led offensively by Jamont Gordon and Charles Rhodes and defensively by the human eraser known as Jarvis Varnado. We think they should be able to get by Oregon before meeting a tougher challenge in the 2nd round. Schedule/Roster
#9 Oregon: Perhaps no team has received more criticism for their seed than the Ducks. They made the tournament by winning their last 3 regular season conference games, but we question their ability to make a serious run as they lost every game down the stretch to the top Pac-10 teams including the ones at the vaunted McArthur Court. Schedule/Roster
#10 Saint Mary's: The Gaels, led by Patrick Mills and Diamon Simpson, are a quick, athletic team that sports wins over Oregon and Gonzaga. However, they struggle with more physical teams that slow the tempo down. This may not matter as they probably won't play a slow-paced team before they are knocked out. Schedule/Roster
#11 Kentucky: Billy Gillispie has done an outstanding job salvaging this season, which started out so poorly with a loss at home to Gardner-Webb in the 2nd game of the Wildcat season. This is a pretty mediocre Kentucky team especially with the loss of their best player Patrick Paterson to injury. However, Gillispie has molded the team's style (slow the game down and limit possessions) to maximize what he has. Kentucky isn't nearly good enough to make a run in the tournament, but they might be able to pull of an upset or two. Schedule/Roster
#12 Temple: The Owls come in having won the Atlantic 10 tournament title, which sends a pretty strong signal that they are playing well late in the season. When you watch, Temple you will realize these aren't Don Chaney's Owls. Instead of relying on their physicality, these Owls are very explosive led by Dionte Christmas (20.2 PPG and 6.0 RPG) and Mark Tyndale (15.9 PPG, 7.2 RPG and 4.3 APG). They should provide the Spartans with a stiff challenge in the first round. Schedule/Roster
#13 Oral Roberts: While Oral Roberts is led by 5'9″ guard Robert Jarvis, their hallmark is their relentless defense. Unfortunately for them, they will be facing what is potentially the most physical team in the tournament in the first round. Schedule/Roster
#14 Cornell: The Ivy League champs usually can at least taunt opposing fans that they will usually be the boss of the fans of the team that is kicking their ass. Unforunately for Cornell and their fans, they play Stanford so they don't even have that to hang their hat on this year. Schedule/Roster
#15 Austin Peay: They have absolutely no shot against a talented and tough Longhorn team. Schedule/Roster
#16 Texas-Arlington: We give them 5 minutes before their game against Memphis gets out of hand. Just way too much athleticism on Memphis's side. Texans may get some form of revenge in the regional finals. Schedule/Roster

Good Samaritan Statement
Southern Connecticut State University encourages living and learning environments that promote the health and safety of all members of the SCSU community. The misuse of alcohol and drugs poses a serious threat to the physical and mental health of the individual and places the entire campus community at risk.
The University expects students to abide by state and federal laws, as well as University policies, regarding alcohol and drug possession and consumption. However, the University recognizes that there may be times when students face medical emergencies involving excessive drinking and/or drug use. This Good Samaritan Statement seeks to diminish fear of disciplinary and conduct sanctions in such situations and to encourage individuals and organizations to seek needed medical attention for students in distress as a result of excessive alcohol and/or drug abuse.
In an effort to foster responsible student behavior and to respect the health and welfare of all members of the SCSU community, if an individual or organization reaches out to a campus official seeking medical attention for him/herself or for another, the student or organization requesting assistance and the student requiring assistance may not be subject to the typical disciplinary sanctions for a violation of campus and drug policies, as long as the individuals or organizations comply with all assessments and follow-up required by the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs.
The Good Samaritan Statement applies only to cases where there is a legitimate concern for a person's well being as a result of excessive alcohol or drug use. Additional infractions occurring simultaneous to the alcohol or drug use (i.e., acts of vandalism, physical assault, disorderly conduct) will be adjudicated separately. If the student is involved in any subsequent or repeat incidents involving misuse of alcohol and other drugs, the situation will be evaluated by the Dean of Students Office to determine if the Good Samaritan Statement applies. Further, this statement applies only to campus disciplinary procedures and does not apply to local, state, and federal processes.

NEW OFFICER: City to hire additional policeman
COLUMBIA CITY — The Columbia City Police Department will be hiring a new officer this year — marking a milestone for the force. CCPD Police Chief Tim Longenbaugh said this will be the first new officer the department has hired in 10 years. The new hire will be the 18th full-time officer for the force.The process is currently underway, and the department has already had applicants perform the written exam and the physical agility test. Interviews are scheduled for Jan. 12 with the hope that the new officer will begin in February. The chief added that the list of applicants is strong."We are excited about getting a new officer," he said. "We have some really good candidates to choose from. We are excited about doing the interviews and seeing where that leads us."This interviewing time will give the department an opportunity to hire new reserve officers. Currently there are reserve officers, but Longenbaugh said he hopes to add two more to bring the number up to six.Whoever the new hire is, that individual will be joining a stable force, as Longenbaugh reflected that it has been 10 years since the last new officer hire.For a more in-depth look at this story, see the Jan. 7 issue of The Post and Mail.

Mumbai: Actor-producer Pooja Bhatt, who was in the news for producing "BAD", has walked out of the project with the title. She says it was a mutual decision.
"I am not part of the film anymore. It was a decision, which was taken purely for financial reason and was mutually taken by me and my partner," Pooja, director of films like "Paap" and "Jism 2", told IANS.
"For me, the budget is the king. No matter how good the script is, if the economics don't sync well, it don't work. I am trained under Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt and I took the decision as it was not financially feasible," she added.
When asked her about the title of the film, Pooja said "yes", it is with her.
"I feel we can retain brand 'BAD' as a franchisee and make BAD 1, 2, 3. I want to take the title further," she added.
With Pooja walking out, the Randeep Hooda and Richa Chadda starrer doesn't have any title right now.

The How and Why of Grass-Fed Beef Marrow and Fat
After removing the marrow from the bones, I let the stock (with the bones) sit in the refrigerator overnight to allow the fat to harden, which made for easy skimming and removal (photo, above).
I was about to throw away this grass-fed beef fat when I thought to myself, "This is crazy; why the hell would I throw away this flavorful, nutrient-dense fat?" It now rests comfortably in a glass jar in my refrigerator, ready to be used in the cooking of grass-fed hamburgers this weekend.
I'm sure most (if not all) modern-day nutritionists (schooled in the modern-day hypothesis that a low-fat diet, no matter how many chemicals, is a good thing) would tell me I am crazy. My response? I'll take the beef fat's monounsaturated fat and its abundance of nutrients, plus the satiation and flavor it provides, any day of the week over supposedly "heart-healthy" vegetable oils that are devoid of nutrients and flavor and are produced employing a harsh chemical process using canola, soy and corn that are genetically engineered and sprayed with a ton of pesticides.
Trust me, you won't hear any of that anytime soon on any of the national morning news/variety programs.
There also won't be any questions asking when our modern diseases and ailments—obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, attention deficit disorders, cancers, etc.—began to proliferate. When we were eating beef marrow from cows eating grass and chicken skin from chickens eating worms, insects and grass? Or when we started to consume processed alternatives of these traditional foods, ones that contain agents (hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, genetically engineered foods, bleaches, emulsifiers, etc.) that our bodies can't identify and process?
Remember that all beef (and chicken and apples and bread and yogurt) is not created equal. Cattle processed on factory farms, where they are given hormones, antibiotics and genetically engineered feed, are much, much different than cattle eating grass (cows' natural diet) and raised without growth-promoting drugs.

We have grass-fed, organic meat. Do you think if I did what you did I could use the fat like lard, and make a pie with it?

First response: "I think you could but you'd want to balance with butter as well. Check this out http://www.cheeseslave.com/how-to-make-perfect-pie-crust/"

Thank you. I make pies with the lard I find on the store shelf right not. Not the greatest stuff. I will try this way and let you know.

And the second reply, just in:
"Short answer: No. Lard is not just any animal fat, and it is never beef fat. It is pig fat, from the fatty tissue around the kidneys (this is top-quality leaf lard). Second quality is back fat, found between the skin and back muscle. Leaf lard has no discernible flavor, and is ideal for pastry. Back fat lard is OK for frying (e.g. chicken).
"Store-bought lard is hydrogenated, which introduces undesirable substances. 'Real' lard, carefully rendered over very low heat, is about 40 percent saturated fat (butter has 60 percent). Its monounsaturated 'good' fat level is about 45 percent, almost double that of butter.
"I always use lard (and butter) in pie pastry. I buy beautiful leaf lard from Flying Pigs Farm in upstate New York, flyingpigsfarm.com. They also sell pork of all cuts from their pastured heritage-breed pigs.
"Beef fat is good for making Yorkshire Pudding."

Re-using the fat in this way is an excellent idea. One of those simple things that I wish I had thought to do before. For those who don't have a Whole Foods in their area, or don't live near Flying Pigs Farm, I just wanted to let you know about the on-line farmer's market www.HomeGrownCow.com. It's an excellent resource for sourcing meats directly from a farm of your choice.

Lipscomb Bisons basketball coach Scott Sanderson has announced the addition of two more players for the 2012-2013 season.
Forward Talbott Denny from, Tucson, Ariz., and point guard JJ Butler from Abingdon, Md., near Baltimore, have both signed their national letters to play for Lipscomb.
Denny, 6-foot-6, 205 pounds, was a standout for Salpointe Catholic High School. As a senior, playing on both the perimeter and low post, Denny averaged 15.3 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game.
He also excels in the classroom with a 4.0-plus average.
"He is strong," Sanderson said. "He is very athletic, very versatile and physically ready to play. He can play No. 3 or No. 4, but has also played some at the guard spot.
"Talbott drives the ball to the basket and is a very good passer. He understands how to play. He gets to the free throw line a lot. He is a tough, blue-collar kid. Most guys as strong as he is are not very skilled at dribbling or passing the ball, but Talbott can do both of those things very, very well."
Other schools interested in Denny were Northern Arizona, Idaho State, USC Upstate, Houston Baptist, New Hampshire and Colgate.
"I think he fits our school and fits the mission of our school," Sanderson said.
Butler was a four-year starter and a three-year captain for his Patterson Mill High School team. He averaged 14 points, seven assists, 6.5 rebounds and 2.8 steals. He is the first athlete in the history of the Patterson Mill program to sign an NCAA Division I scholarship.
Sanderson is most impressed with Butler's knowledge of the game and his unselfish style of play.
"JJ has really good vision." Sanderson said. "He has a good feel for where guys are on the floor. Feel is something that you can't teach.
"He is a pass-first point guard. He is a facilitator who understands how to distribute the ball. Defensively, he keeps the ball in front of him."
Sanderson is also impressed with Butler's communication skills on the court.
"That is his best asset," Sanderson said. "JJ is always talking and encouraging his teammates. You have to have that at the point guard spot. We haven't had that the past couple of years."
Some of the schools that gave Butler a look were Binghamton, Colgate, St. Francis (Pa.) and Yale.
"We are very excited about both of these players coming here," Sanderson said. "Both of them will be good representatives of our university and our basketball team."
Lipscomb freshmen Damarius Smith, Marvin Williams and Zavion Williams have announced their intention to transfer and will not return next season.
