I have an odd problem with my CB 900 Bol Dor.
I have to have min. 6 liter off fuel in the tank for it to run properly. If i have less i runs random with 3 cyl.
I have tried to optimize the fuel line, with new fuel cock and short fuelline.
Anyone had the same problem?

Re: CB900 BolDor fuel problem
I'd be looking at the pickup & if having low fuel means it's sucking air at times. Mind you I don't know these bikes at all.
Isn't 6ltrs nearly on reserve anyway?

All In The Family...
Yesterday, Casper was beside himself with excess energy, so I took him out to the lawn for a while. He was exhilarated but wary. Every hair on his little tail stood on end for the entire half hour he was outside.
First, Casper jumped off the front step and the crackle of leaves under his feet surprised him. Then Skittles was excited and pleased to see him outside. She invited him to several wild chases around the yard, which she won each time by racing up a tree.
What an adventure Casper had! He sniffed, snooped, tasted, touched, stalked, pounced, climbed, frolicked and cavorted -- just to summarize!
I enjoyed his first experience of the great outdoors. It was fun to watch him, and I had to laugh at the poofed-out condition of his little tail. I'm sure it was an involuntary response to the unfamiliar surroundings.
I wish he could go outside freely and often, but we feed an old half-wild tomcat and we're afraid he would fight Casper. The old tomcat and Casper have spent long periods of time eyeball to eyeball through the glass of the door. We don't want them to meet without that barrier. So for now, little Casper has to be a house cat most of the time.

UNC Eye receives prestigious Research to Prevent Blindness unrestricted grant
Research to Prevent Blindness (RPB) has awarded a grant of $110,000 to UNC Eye Care Center to support research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of blinding diseases.
The research will be directed by Donald L. Budenz, M.D., M.P.H., Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. This grant is structured to be automatically renewed annually in the amount of $110,000, then subject to periodic review by RPB starting in 2016.
RPB is the world's leading voluntary organization supporting eye research. To date, the organization has awarded grants totaling $1,630,500 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine.
"Research to Prevent Blindness provides unrestricted research funding to the top research departments of ophthalmology in the US," Dr. Budenz said. "UNC Eye's program to prevent and cure blindness through gene therapy and stem cell research will benefit greatly from this generous grant."
Since it was founded in 1960, RPB has channeled hundreds of millions of dollars to medical institutions throughout the United States for research into all blinding eye diseases. For information on RPB, RPB-funded research, eye disorders and the RBP Grants Program, go to www.rpbusa.org.

Recently, Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom delivered a report declaring that without a "jobs czar."
California will find it difficult to compete with other states.
Newsom also added that the state should eliminate many commissions that overlap in authority.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Both good points, but these ideas should be viewed as only a first step.
Fragmentation in California begins in the executive branch. There are 93 departments and agencies in the governor's office alone.
To Newsom's point, at least four agencies and seven departments deal with elements of job creation or retention.
Abundant overlap also exists in the areas of health care (three agencies and eight departments) and natural resources (two agencies and eight departments).
The other areas of overlap go on from there. Cleaning up this mess would go a long way toward eliminating the fragmentation and overlap issues raised by Newsom.
But there's more.
Why does California need a state Treasurer, Controller, Board of Equalization, and Franchise Tax Board? Talk about unnecessary overlap.
Combining the first three into a single elective office would end a lot of confusion and save money.
Why does California elect an Insurance Commissioner when the governor's office has the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency?
Surely the separate elective office could be merged there?
Finally, with apologies to the current incumbent, why does California have a Lieutenant Governor?
Other than serving on the Board of Regents and Board of Trustees along with the State Lands Commission, most of the Lieutenant Governor's responsibilities are pretty thin.
Certainly, an individual with Newsom's talents could better serve the state in a position with more authority and responsibility.
Of course, every one of the individuals working in the above-mentioned offices will defend his or her post as critical to California's existence. Some defenses may be more justified than others, but clearly many should be eliminated because of duplicative or unnecessary functions.
Gavin Newsom's right--California needs a "jobs czar," but more than that, we need a "Clean Up Czar."
By streamlining the state's administrative apparatus, we can take a big step toward making California government more competitive and more understandable.

As Expected, HTC Unveils Its New Flagship Phone, the HTC One
And you thought all the smartphone fun was going to happen at Mobile World Congress.
Today, at a event in New York City (with a concurrent event in London), Taiwanese handset maker HTC unveiled its new flagship phone, the HTC One.
As rumored, the aluminum-backed, Android-based phone is running on a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor. It has a 4.7-inch 1080 display coated with Gorilla Glass, and front-facing speakers that play Beats Audio. It comes with an NFC chip, although currently there are no pre-installed apps that are utilizing the technology.
The phone was also displaying a new version of the user interface known as HTC Sense. It includes something called "Blink Feed," which transforms the home screen into a constant feed of social updates, emails and news, as well as ESPN content through a partnership with ESPN.
And much emphasis was placed on the phone's "UltraPixel" camera — which, the company said, means the megapixels are bigger. As HTC pointed out, the megapixel count on a camera doesn't matter; it's the size of the pixels.
In addition to "ghost" HDR and burst-shot modes, the HTC One is meant to capture better pictures in low light, and comes with a built-in video-editing solution, dubbed "Zoe."
The LTE-enabled HTC One will begin shipping in late March; price has not yet been announced. The company has named AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile as its U.S. carrier partners.
The phone comes in silver or black, with 32 gigabytes or 64GB of storage.
HTC president Jason Mackenzie says HTC saw a "massive opportunity" to bring excitement back to smartphones and bring HTC's offerings to another level. "This is not just another set of incremental improvements," he said.
As my AllThingsD colleague Ina Fried wrote this morning, the launch of the One comes at a particularly tough time for the company, which found fast success on the back of Android, but just as quickly lost ground to other rivals in the high-end smartphone market, particularly Samsung.
According to Gartner Research, HTC's share of the global smartphone market slipped to 4.7 percent last year from 9.1 percent in 2011 — even falling below flailing RIM (now, BlackBerry), which had 5 percent of handset market share last year. Samsung, meanwhile, soared from 18.7 percent of the market to 30.3 percent during the same time frame, topping both Apple and Nokia.

A few minutes out of my day to say thank you
" A few minutes out of my day to say thank you Johnny and Keith, if I had a business I hired you both, keep that positive attitude. I be back in the future. I ❤ my 2019 Ram "
Great Customer Service
" Tremayne Richardson was the first to approach me on a Saturday afternoon and he should get a lot of credit for my eventual purchase of a 2016 Jeep Wrangler. Tremayne had just started working for the dealership, so after a few minutes of discussing the vehicle he handed my potential business off to Zagit "Z" Rodriguez, who is more experienced in car sales. "Z" did a fantastic job of answering all of my questions, taking me for a test drive, introducing me to his manager, Bob Williams, and then, to my surprise, he even allowed me to keep the Wrangler for the remainder of the weekend to make sure I liked it. Overall the car-buying process was as easy I have ever dealt with thanks to the staff at Anderson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. "
Great Experience with Steve Priessler
" It was a great experience dealing with Steve, he was knowledgeable and not a hard sell, which we like. He kept his word and was always on top of every question we had. His customer service skills are great. He was the reason we bought a new Pacifica, we would recommend him to anyone. Thanks for everything Steve "

The staff was professional and courteous, and Johnny really spent the extra time to make us feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend Johnny and Anderson Dodge to anyone looking for a new vehicle. "
Johnny Garner was able to find the perfect vehicle for me!
" Johnny Garner was able to find the perfect vehicle for me! I had been looking into getting a brand new 2019 Cherokee, but I wasn't sure if it was going to fit in my budget! He found the exact 2019 Cherokee I'd been looking for, with everything I needed, barely used! Only 4,000 miles on it with all the bells and whistles for a better deal, making it more affordable for me. Thanks for your help, Johnny! "
I would just like to just say that everyone at the dealership was amazing.
" I would just like to just say that everyone at the dealership was amazing. They made purchasing our jeep easy. The Sales Rep Johnny Garner went above and beyond to make our experience a pleasant one. I would recommend anyone looking for a new vehicle stop by their location. "
" Josh got my Ram done in two days which was much quicker than I thought. AWESOME JOB!!! "
We purchased the car that day, and are very happy with our decision.
" We stopped in to look for a car for my 16 year-old son. Being his first car, we wanted to make sure that we were purchasing something that was safe and reliable. Johnny greeted us and asked what he could do to help. He was very laid back, and did not pressure us at all! When we went for our test drive, he had the vehicle warmed up, and even turned on the seat heaters for us, it was very cold that day. Those small details did not go unnoticed. Johnny was knowledgeable about the vehicle we were interested in and made sure to answer any questions we may have had. Part of the decision to purchase this vehicle was based on the way that Johnny made us feel. We purchased the car that day, and are very happy with our decision. If you are looking to make a vehicle purchase, I HIGHLY recommend Johnny Garner. He will put you in the vehicle of your dreams, and will make sure that you leave satisfied. "
These guys really go above and beyond to get you into the car of your dreams.
" These guys really go above and beyond to get you into the car of your dreams. Duke and Bob are the best! I Highly recommend, they are upfront and take the hassle out of dealing with a car dealership, making car shopping an enjoyable experience where in the end you leave happy, with no surprises. "
I think the people at Anderson are great
" Randy is the guy you want if you're looking to buy a vehicle. He never told my husband and I of this, but his manager made it known that Randy negotiated more money for the trade in value of our vehicle without us knowing or asking him to do it. Also, Randy follows through with what he says he's going to do--he's trustworthy and goes the extra mile, and he is super organized about it. He also has the best sense of humor. I think the people at Anderson are great , but I specifically wanted to mention Randy because I think it's unique when you have someone who tries to work on your behalf and does it with humility. "

Convicted phone hacker Andy Coulson walked free from court yesterday cleared of perjury.
The judge told the jury, "Not every lie amounts to perjury" and that the former News of the World boss' alleged lies about phone hacking were not material to main case at the Tommy Sheridan trial and so the case was thrown out.
People inevitably took to Twitter commenting on the case – and saying again how little they trust journalists.
It's four years since the News of the World closed but still people feel aggrieved by what they saw and still they feel little confidence in journalists to tell the truth or to be capable of integrity, loyalty and political principle.
Still few see or accept the reality of the pressures on journalists to do as they're told. Too many think journalists live in some Daily Planet bubble where they can run into the offices of editors like Andy Coulson and demand to be heard, demand to tell their story, demand not to write something racist or sexist. We rarely can. Like most workers we simply don't have that power.
When a housing worker in a Tory council evicts a tenant for not being able to afford their rent in times of austerity we can't blame that individual worker. When a factory worker shoves horse meat into a packet and labels it beef we can't blame that individual worker.
And – just like other workers – we get bullied if we do stand up for what we believe in.
Michell Stanistreet, the National Union of Journalists general secretary, told the Leveson Inquiry: ""The range of issues the journalists have raised with me include, but are not restricted to – endemic bullying, huge pressure to deliver stories, overwhelming commercial pressures which are allowed to dictate what is published and the overweening power and control of editors over their journalists and of employers over their editors."
She added: "They feel too scared and frightened to give evidence in a way which would allow them to be identified by their current or prospective media employers. Those who have experienced or witnessed bullying of a vicious and engrained nature have largely been too fearful to speak out in case they lost their job or were forced out.
"Those who have witnessed first-hand unethical behaviour or been pressured into working in a way that is unethical are frankly terrified about being identified."
Some have found the courage to be identified and to walk out …
Rich Peppiatt, writer and director of One Rogue Reporter, walked out of the Daily Star offices in protest at what he saw as anti-Muslim propaganda, stating: "I may have been just a lowly hack in your business empire, void of the power to make you change your ways, but there is still one thing that I can do; that I was trained to do; that I love to do: write about it."
Peter Oborne resigned from the Telegraph over what he considered its fraudulent coverage allowing HSBC to influence content for fear of losing ad revenue, saying: "I expressed all of my concerns about the direction of the paper. […] I was resigning as a matter of conscience. Mr MacLennan (chief executive) agreed that advertising was allowed to affect editorial, but was unapologetic, saying that "it was not as bad as all that" and adding that there was a long history of this sort of thing at the Telegraph."
But it's not all about national journalists and indeed certainly not all about tabloid journalists. The industry – trade press, local newspapers, regional titles, magazines – is rife with bullying and workers too scared to stand up for themselves or for their work because they fear they will be sacked.
Phil Turner has worked at the Rotherham Advertiser for 30 years. He is also the chapel's FoC – that is he is the National Union of Journalists shop steward.
Phil has been singled out by bosses for compulsory redundancy. The NUJ is appealing the decision, seeing the targeting of Phil as a deliberate attack on the journalists' union and on the wider trade union movement.
Phil's colleagues are defending him. They intend to strike on June 11th and there is a protest this Saturday in Rotherham's All Saints Square at 12 noon.
Chris Morley, the NUJ's Northern and Midlands organiser, said: "The company has made a grave error in selecting Phil for dismissal in such a transparent attempt to reduce the effectiveness of the chapel at the Rotherham Advertiser. Even when required savings were found elsewhere, the new management of the company still insisted that a compulsory redundancy had to be made in editorial and that it just happened to be the FoC."
It's time to recognise journalists don't have some innate power unavailable to other workers. We're not all Lois Lanes and Clark Kents (even Clark Kent left the Daily Planet tired of the drivel he had to produce).
And we depend on union support and solidarity like other workers.
Also … we're not all phone hackers. We don't sit gleefully writing racist crap. We don't shovel shit into the internet and think we've got it made. We do recognise the influence of advertising and of corrupt bosses. We get bullied and victimised.
We're workers, just like you.
The union is urging NUJ members and supporters to contact the Rotherham Advertiser in protest. Please send respectful messages of protest to Rotherham Advertiser chief executive Nick Alexander and copy in the editor Andrew Mosley and HR officer Debbie Commander.
You can also send messages of support and solidarity to Phil Turner:

I have a lot of time for Roger Ebert. I was just reading an article he wrote recently about his new book, Great Movies. Two passages struck me as immortal. One is about one of my favourite film makers and a man whose vision I have grown to see as one of the key ones of the twentieth century: Ingmar Bergman. He talks of coming home from his sickness, and
Soon after I returned home I turned to Bergman, who is a filmmaker for thoughtful moods. His new Criterion discs have been restored to an astonishing black and white beauty, and I fell into them. It's conventional to write of "his great cinematographer, Sven Nykvist," but my God, he is great, and I found myself trying to describe the perfection of his lighting. I responded strongly to Bergman's passion about fundamental questions of life and death, guilt, mortality, and what he regards as the silence of God. I'd seen all these films on first release, but now, at an older age, having walked through the valley, I saw them quite differently. Norman Cousins famously found during an illness that comedy helped heal him. For me, it was Bergman.Again at the end of the essay Ebert reaches a truth about literature, film and history. He says
I believe good movies are a civilizing force. They allow us to empathize with those whose lives are different than our own. I like to say they open windows in our box of space and time.In Shadowlands, C.S. Lewis says at one point that we read to know we are not alone. Ebert makes the point as well but its a point we all do well to remember, to have repeated again and again. Lost in the prison of our own lonely consciousness, film and books, music and history are things which can reintroduce us to a world which we lose every time we close our eyes.

In the minutes between posts I've learned a dear, gorgeous lovely empathetic boy siloed and misunderstood under the guise of 'autistic' as having no empathy - when many of his 'abnormal' behaviours - his no sense of personal space of others sometimes, his walking through a shop and suddenly going over to hug someone / a stranger - usually someone who 'needed' a hug - even if they didn't understand his motivation for suddenly giving them one, his outbursts of frustration and anger when noise or energy levels were too high for his capacity ... were actually empathic (energy feeling) overload, not lack of empathy.
The so strong impulses to research where neurologists and neuro theories are up to in realising this flaw in their data and to once again maybe stick my head up and ask them 'what about.... ?'I know that the 'lack of empathy' in those labelled autistic 'may' be empathy overload/fatigue in the same way we are starting to understand compassion fatigue in the general population as after effects of multiple major disasters.
My feelings of David's energy urging me on to express this the last few days, as he would when sharing my 'calm' states that I would adopt to accommodate him when in close proximity. His love for me, his child-like honesty, misunderstood by so many who had built up fences against him and his like because of the misinformation from the skewed data interpretation.
David passed away two days ago. He suffered 4 seizures and then his kidneys failed and he left his body, they ventilated him. On his wishes he was an organ donor. His Mum's just told me the day she left him in hospital she realised he was staying in this wracked with pain body for her, she told him not to do that on her account, in a sense giving him permission to leave.
And he did.
Six people, including a baby have gained new leases on life from his donation of his organs. All he ever wanted while here was for it to be okay to be him. In his chats with me he loved being with me because I never made him feel like it wasn't okay for him to be him. He was wicked of humour, really witty, if you took no offence (funny, there's that word again). He had an amazing intelligence that was discounted by professionals and a strength of will that made him look like a 'very naughty boy' at times. Some thought him arrogant, but they were wrong, he was vulnerable.
As I mentioned earlier, with the comings and goings through the veil in and out of 'the physical' energies shift and like a pebble dropped in a pond ...
Hugs you snowy, thank you, you make me feel okay to be me. David, it has been my immense pleasure to share some of your journey... but do I really have to explain it to those who don't want to listen?

To Windows Server Backup doesn't start after you perform a BMR in Windows Server 2012: https://support2.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;2961238 Consider the following scenario:
- You have a computer that's running Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2.
- You're using a UEFI system with two hard disks, and you have EFI System Partition on your system disk.
- You use Windows Server Backup to perform a complete backup.
- You then use the backup data to perform a bare metal recovery (BMR).
However, after the recovery operation is completed, the Windows Server Backup service cannot be started. To resolve this issue, Windows Backup must rebuild the catalog to reflect the latest disk configurations. To trigger this action, follow these steps:
- Open an administrative command prompt.
- Run the following command:
wbadmin delete catalog
- Restart the Windows Server Backup service, or restart the computer.
The Windows Server Backup service should now run normally. Someone in the past year has hit this and I remember them telling me about this issue.

Byron actually had the audacity to write a pamplet attacking John Keats' style of writing hence I doubt Keats would ever respect Byron.
Second point I want to make is that, Byron's Darkness (from what I can remember) lacks irony and metaphor. Last time I read Darkness I realized it was logically deductive, which means his poetry lacked luster. I saw no method of using irony or paradox like our dear Keats.

These OkCupid guys…. I mean really. It's one thing to mention that your favorite author is Faulkner. Cool, I dig it. Or Hemingway, or whomever. It's even NBD to list a couple of books you like that happen to be written by men. BUT, when you go to the trouble of listing 40+ books you love because YOU JUST CAN'T DECIDE, and literally all 42 are by guys… for real?
They probably don't even notice. If that's the case, this is highly fixable. If they notice and don't care/don't think it's weird/don't think women have interesting opinions or stories…. well, that shit is beyond repair. Or rather, it is a problem to large for me to fix with a snarky message or internet essay.
But the fixable ones, the ones who are oblivious but open-minded, these are the ones I write to today, in my new piece for Role/Reboot:

Music teacher Mario Ortiz has been teaching classic salsa tunes to elementary and middle school students for 14 years. Outside the classroom, Mario plays trumpet in a salsa group. He learned music from his father, who was also named Mario Ortiz.
The elder Ortiz was a well known salsa bandleader (for the Mario Ortiz All Star Band) in Puerto Rico in the 1960s. He died in 1999.
Two years ago, Mario put out an album called Tributo 45 Aniversario to honor his father. That album was nominated for a Latin Grammy. He also performed at the Adrienne Arsht Center last year with Latin jazz pianist, Larry Harlow, and his orchestra.
However, Mario Ortiz is still teaching music. He coaxes students at Hialeah Gardens Middle School through the "foward and back" of basic salsa dance steps, leads them in clapping theclave rythym, and teaches them to sing and play songs like "El Cumbanchero" on piano and xylophone. Ortiz wants to be sure these kids don't just associate "Spanish music" with the tired stuff adults listen to at parties (to paraphrase the words of eighth grader Christine Carbonell). He wants them to make salsa rhythms their own.
The huddle of salsa chorus students waiting in front of his classroom door every morning is a good sign that Mr. Ortiz is making progress.

WASHINGTON, July 3, 2009 – U.S. Marines and Afghan security forces are continuing Operation Khanjar in Afghanistan's Helmand province, NATO officials said today.
Almost 4,000 personnel from the Marine Expeditionary Brigade Afghanistan have moved into cities and towns along the Helmand River and are digging in for the long haul.
The addition of nearly 22,000 American personnel in Afghanistan will allow the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force to institute a "clear, hold, build" counterinsurgency strategy. Before, small numbers of coalition forces would enter an area and clear it of Taliban, but the shortage of forces meant that when they pulled out, the Taliban flowed back in.
Now, Marines and Afghan personnel are clearing the region of Taliban and establishing bases among the people. They will stay to ensure the Taliban or other terrorist groups do not move back in.
The strategy calls for experts to move into the region and work with local residents to build the economy and governance.
The forces are operating in the districts of Nawa and Garmsir in central Helmand province. The Marines are operating as far south as the vicinity of Khan Neshin, the capital of Rig district in the region of the Helmand River valley known as "The Fishhook."
The effort is part of a larger strategy in Regional Command South. British and Afghan forces also are operating in Helmand and Kandahar provinces.
Few coalition or Afghan government forces have been in Helmand province. It is a center for the poppy trade, and has been a safe haven for the Taliban who used violence and other methods to intimidate the people.
"The Marines and Afghan forces are continuing to patrol and have begun engaging with key leaders in the districts to better understand the concerns and needs of Afghans in the area," said Marine Corps Capt. Bill Pelletier, a spokesman for the command. "Once security is established, civil affairs personnel and other nongovernmental organizations and agencies will begin establishing programs aimed at building long-term governance and development throughout the Helmand River valley."
One Marine has been killed in action, and several others have been injured or wounded since the operation began. Officials in Kabul said the Taliban have not directly confronted the massive operation, but rather are melting into the populace.
Also, an Afghan was wounded when he failed to heed warnings to halt as he approached a Marine position south of Garmsir. No need has arisen for close-air support, officials said.

Seahorses and sight: Seahorse eyes do not work in unison like human eyes do, so these fish can actually see in two different directions at the same time. With eyes moving independently of each other (one looking in front, one looking behind), the animal has a full 360-degree picture of its surroundings!
Because of their forward-facing position on the animal's head, scientists believe that seahorse eyes enable binocular vision (which humans and many other species share). This type of vision is used to locate prey and assist with the small crustaceans that make up the bulk of their diet.

Traveling in first class provides a welcome respite from the huddled masses in coach, but now flight crews have their own private place to escape from passengers in all classes. TIMCO Aerosystems designed this Crew Rest Module for Austrian Airlines that stashes in the plane's cargo hold, providing a quiet place to escape on a long haul flight.
Built and engineered using advanced composites so they're strong, lightweight but also soundproof, the modules were designed to be swapped with a 767's existing cargo container for flights that exceed 11 hours in the air. They can be loaded into the plane's cargo hold in less than 30 minutes, thanks to a design that matches existing containers and the use of quick connects for the electrical, safety and environmental system hookups. However, since most passenger planes don't have an easy way to access the cargo hold from the cabin, they have to be retrofit with a special ladder equipped vestibule making it easier for crew to climb down there. Each unit comfortably sleeps six crew members, including the pilots, though something tells me it won't be long until airlines realize these could be more profitable as private suites for those with deep travel pockets.

Frans Kaashoek, a professor in the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and associate director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, has won the Association for Computing Machinery's 2010 ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences. The award honors a young scientist who has contributed to an innovation "that exemplifies the greatest recent achievements in the computing field."
The ACM, which also awards the annual Turing Award, frequently called "the Nobel Prize of computer science," established the ACM-Infosys award in 2007. Kaashoek is only its fourth recipient. The award is accompanied by a prize of $150,000 provided by the Infosys Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Infosys Technologies.
The award citation highlighted three distinct strands of Kaashoek's work. The first is his contribution to the development of a new operating-system design, dubbed the Exokernel. Operating systems typically interpret instructions written in high-level programming languages and oversee their execution on a device's hardware. The Exokernel lets application developers themselves specify how the hardware should execute their code, which can greatly improve performance. The chief role of the operating system becomes the enforcement of security, ensuring, for example, that programs don't illicitly access each other's data.
The second strand is Kaashoek's work on distributed hash tables, which make it possible for decentralized information systems — such as peer-to-peer file-sharing systems — to store and retrieve data much more efficiently. And the third is Kaashoek's role in developing software systems for handling sensitive information. One of these projects lets developers specify high-level security policies for their applications, and the system automatically adds security checks to code that accesses protected information.
According to CSAIL director Victor Zue, Kaashoek's work on the Exokernel and his work on distributed hash tables "have influenced distributed systems research worldwide, and have also found use in the commercial world." Adds Zue, "He is a superb teacher, mentor, collaborator, and entrepreneur. All of us at CSAIL are thrilled at this latest and significant recognition of his accomplishments."

My Virtual Quilting Bee block #3. Don't forget that Friday the VQB block #4 will be available!
This week I feel a bit like a crazy lady. I'm working on a bunch of deadlines at the moment including a new quilt tutorial for next week. I feel like I've been sewing like a mad woman, with nothing to share. Yet. Lots of works in progress, which means they will show up here at some point.
I'm also going to a conference this weekend and I thought it would be fun to make a new bag. I even have the pile of fabrics sitting on my kitchen table, ready to cut. But instead of spending time there…
I got to spend time here… My machine's motor brush (according to minds far superior to mine) went out. So I spent an hour round trip on Monday driving my machine to the shop to get fixed. To say the timing was bad would be a colossal understatement. I was feeling so frustrated. Until I started listening to the news out of Boston as I started driving. Suddenly everything was put into perspective. Again. Sending love and prayers to all those affected by the events in Boston this week.
Fortunately my machine was fixed by the next morning (hooray!) by the fine folks at Dave's Bernina and I picked it up on Tuesday. So it's back to work here, but I'm trying to do it a little more cheerfully and be grateful for the things I sometimes take for granted. While I may not have that new bag, it's pretty small in the whole scheme of things. Sending well wishes your way as well!

i do mostly motion graphics and decided to do more handpaint-style stuff. love the brushes.
is it possible to record the paintings?
in the brushpreview there is a play button for the recorded stroke. and i presume that the debug part can record anything i do and everthing is powered by the gpu. just needs an export.
so this migth be a future wish: record videos of a session, like in the brushpreview. would be fantastic and you will get a bunch of new customers from the motion graphic front.

Finally, a new book on Dunmore's War is hitting the shelves in July. I've really been looking forward to this one; the publication date apparently got pushed back, so I'm glad it's coming to the stores soon.

Your fitness facility's personal trainers are some of your greatest assets—that is, if they are good at what they do. If they are not, then they could be one of your company's greatest liabilities. You must ensure that you do all you can to hire the right personal trainers, which can be a difficult task in this day and age.
Whether you are starting up a new club, filling new positions or replacing exiting personal trainers, here are a few things to consider that will help you pick the right trainers:
- Make sure the trainers you hire are certified. It is always better to hire personal trainers who are already certified by credible certifying agencies. If you find someone with tremendous potential who is not yet certified, ensure that they get a certification quickly. Consider working out a deal with them where you sponsor them to get a certification.
- Hire for personality traits first. Because we are in a personal and relationship business, it makes sense to have people who are personable and passionate. You want your training staff to be able to communicate effectively and to be trustworthy, responsible and prompt. You should be able to pick up on some of this through the interviews, but I like to do another test by telling the interviewee to introduce themselves to members in your club that you randomly choose. This test shows how willing the trainer is to accepting coaching or advice and how personable they really are in the field. I also like to ask interviewees what their weaknesses are. By doing so, you can see if they admit them to you and if they go a step further in explaining how they are working to improve on them.
- Hire for culture fit. To hire trainers who fit your company's culture, you must first define your culture, which means knowing your core values. Do not sell your company's soul and put together a subpar personal training department with less-than-stellar trainers just to bring in some extra revenue. Customers can see through it, and your personal training sales will not be as good as it can be. I suggest testing the persistence of your potential hires because you want persistent people who want to be there. For anyone coming in for an interview, I usually ask them to contact me without giving them any specific instructions on how or why. This tests how badly they want to be a part of your team, and it allows you to see how they manage themselves.
- Have your staff interview the trainer candidates. By doing this, you give the rest of your staff a sense of ownership and contribution to the company, and it gets the potential trainer familiar with your culture. Your team will notice things that you will miss when you interview the potential trainer. Some people are great interviewers one time and know how to say all of the right things, but when they have to go through a round of different people and personalities, you test their character and culture fit.
- Ask your top staff for referrals. Birds of a feather do flock together. For the most part, people hang out with people who are just like them. So, your top-notch stars likely have friends who are just like them. You should hire for personality traits, which may mean that some of the people with the best traits for being a personal trainer may not have a certification. As noted above, having a certification is important, so consider sponsoring them to get one. You must think long-term and look at it as an investment.
- Create partnerships with local colleges and universities to create an internship program. This is the best way to have a constant flow of fantastic prospects. The best part of this situation is that as these students intern, you will become familiar with them and they will learn your system. That makes it easier for you to decide whether or not to hire after their internship ends, and if you do hire them, it makes the training process cheaper and quicker. Develop a close relationship with the directors of the human performance, personal training, health, and physical education departments at your local universities by doing free seminars for them, teaching a class or by giving a speech to their students. By doing this, you become a valuable asset to their organization because your facility offers a pathway to career opportunities for their students. The key goal in your business is to add value, so do just that.

Read more and leave a request here .
The material used in the manufacture of inflatable trampolines and obstacle bands, is almost twice as much as the gap values indicated in GOST. Thus, the standard spelled out 1850 and 175 newtons, which the fabric should withstand for "tearing apart" - our material indicators are 3235 and 392 newtons, which, of course, makes the product more durable and resistant to stress in the long term.
Moreover, the fabric is neutral to chemical exposure - soap solution and other active substances; impregnated with polyurethane - a dirt-and water-repellent base, which, of course, expands the possibilities of operation of the attraction. Used PVC, corresponds to the density indicators GOST, and is a coefficient not lower than 650 g / m2.
When forming the price for an inflatable attraction, it is first of all important for us that it conforms to the national standard. Therefore, the purchased material, threads, accessories not only meet the established requirements of GOST-53487, but also exceed its technical characteristics.
In addition, the cost includes the payment of personnel, laid the complexity of manufacturing the product, the cost of printing, the cost of decorating an inflatable platform. In the new product, which is not developed, laid the costs of creating patterns and the work of designers. Simply put, it consists of the cost of materials, pay for staff and a small margin.
In our assortment there are inflatable trampolines of both large, medium and very small sizes, which are perfect for filling the space in the game room, children's room at home and cottage. In addition, virtually any inflatable center based on your wishes, we can make to order.
Filling a small trampoline, usually no less bright than on large rides: small slides and obstacles, three-dimensional figures and other elements - in general, everything that kids love so much.
By the way, a small trampoline is a great opportunity to diversify a children's playroom, adding an attraction as an additional, but profitable entertainment equipment.
We always have a choice of fabric, presented in more than 60 shades. You can always choose a combination of colors for your product on our website. In addition, our managers will help determine the choice, choosing the optimal combination of colors for your composition.
Attention! Reflected colors on the screen of your gadget / computer may differ slightly from the colors realized in the final product. This is due to both the color settings on your screen (color saturation), and the functions of expanding brightness, contrast and the predominant effects: blue, red screen, etc.
Upon completion of the manufacture of the product, a photo report of the finished product is provided, as a rule, made from several angles: the general plan, photos from several sides and photographs of individual elements.
I liked the inflatable product in the picture on the Internet, but for some reason you can not buy at the addressee? No problem! You can always contact our specialists with a sketch or a photo you like. Our designers will outline all the contours of the figure you like, while technologists and sewing craftsmen will prepare patterns and make the product.
After your first request, our manager will contact you to clarify the details of the order, tell you about the time of manufacture, agree on the dimensions of the product, color, material, etc. After that, the agreed details are written in the contract annex, and the document is mutually signed. We send its scanned copy to your email (or via whatsApp, viber) for final approval.
According to the agreed proportions of payment - you pay for the product. In turn, after the receipt of funds on the account or the provision of a payment order - from our side, a 3D model of the product is developed and agreed upon. Upon its completion, the electronic model is given for production.
Work with documents is made by three methods. Sending documents in place with the finished product to your address, which is somewhat longer than sending by Russian Post or courier service. The last two methods of shipment is carried out in the case when it is impossible to pay for the product without the originals or at your request, but with the agreement of our manager.

Hello friends and followers!
As I'm sure many of you have seen on my Instagram, I recently hit 10K followers! 🎉🎈💥
This is something that I had never imagined was a possibility! After all, it wasn't THAT long ago that I was reeling over hitting just 1K. I'm so appreciative to all of my followers, old and new, and particularly appreciative of all those friends who stuck by my Instagram even when I started flooding it with photos of my vintage clothing.
Having seen this impending momentous occasion, I wanted to give a little something back to everyone, so sent out a call asking shops to collaborate with me. I was so pleasantly surprised at the wide range and quantity of responses, that I decided to split my giveaway into two parts, accessories, and bigger ticket items!
For this portion of my giveaway, 3 separate winners will be chosen for my three separate prizes. Here's a break down of all three items and the contest widgets where you can enter. The contest ends June 12th – same date as the corresponding Instagram portion of my giveaway.
Prize 1:
The first item on my list is perhaps my favorite of the donated items as the possibilities are endless! Although I had known Miss Lillian Vance previously, it was upon seeing her photographs with Miss Victory Violet in Disneyland that I realized she is one of those talented people who can hand-make and hand-paint skirts! I immediately contacted her asking if we could work something out, and I am officially in her queue to get a skirt painted with Meg's "Won't Say I'm in Love" scene in Hercules.
I'm thrilled to announce that she's also offering up a skirt for my contest! The skirt can be of cotton or felt material (your choice), and she'll paint one image on it of your choice, as well. This is such a huge prize, and I'm so happy to give you all a chance to win one of her gorgeous works of art.
(A note, since this is a custom item, it'll be at least a month before you receive it so Vance Clothing has time to discuss options with you, then sew and hand-paint it.)
Enter Vance Clothing Custom Skirt Giveaway
Prize 2: The second item on my list is a selection of hair accessories from Belle Blossoms, one of my all-time favorite hair flower designers out there, and my go-to shop for hair snoods and the holy grail brand of hair combs, Grip-Tuth. Though I haven't been using flowers lately as the selection I had reached an untimely demise over the past year, I'm eagerly awaiting some hair flowers from Belle Blossoms myself and was so happy when she agreed to donate items for the giveaway. She created a hair flower she calls "Erica's Irish Wedding Clip" for my giveaway as well as sending along a white snood and a white scarf, perfect for wedding or daily wear in the hot summer time (pictured below)!
Enter Belle Blossoms' Hair Accessory Giveaway
Prize 3:
If you saw my last post on my blog, you've seen my review of my custom My Premier Amour Charm & Eloquence blouse made for me with the gorgeous Paris print.
The final item in the blog portion of my giveaway is this same blouse in an adorably kitschy cat print customized to your size! Perfect for warmer or cooler weather, and to add that little extra bit of interest into your wardrobe with the peplum cut (pictured below).
(Note: Since this item is also made just for the winner, it will take around 2 weeks to get the top made from the time the winner is chosen.)
My Premier Amour's Charm & Eloquence Blouse Giveaway
If smaller accessories float your boat, you can also head over to my Instagram for Part 1 of my giveaway and the chance to win all of these adorable items:
All you have to do is repost this image with the hashtag #misslarkbahar10kgiveaway on Instagram and follow the involved shops in the loop. For further details, head on over to my post about it.
Good luck everyone, and thanks for sticking around!

Bee research at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at the University of California, Davis, received a generous gift of $30,000, thanks to Debra "Debbie" Jamison of Fresno, California state regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR),
Jamison, who has always loved bees and appreciated their work, spearheaded the DAR drive. She recently presented the check to officials at the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology.
"I have had a lifelong love and respect for bees and I spent a lot of my childhood watching them, attracting them with sugar water, catching and playing with them and even dissecting them during a time when I imagined myself to be a junior scientist," Jamison told the crowd at the UC Davis ceremony. "Back in those days, there was an abundance of bees, usually observed by this kid in her family's backyard full of clover blossoms—something you rarely see any more due to spraying of pre-emergents and other weed killers."
So when Jamison, whose first name means "bee" in Hebrew, became state regent of the California State Society of DAR, she adopted the motto, "Bees are at the heart of our existence" and vowed to support research to help the beleaguered bees.
Jamison and her state regent project chair, Karen Montgomery of Modesto, presented the $30,000 check to Edwin Lewis, professor and vice chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, and bee scientist/assisant professor Brian Johnson at a ceremony in the department's Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven on Bee Biology Road, west of the central campus.
Lewis gratefully accepted the check on behalf of the department and noted that his mother, Betty Lewis, is an active member of the DAR Owasco Chapter in Auburn, N.Y. "My mother would definitely approve of this project," he quipped. Lewis gifted Jamison with a mosaic ceramic figure of a bee, crafted by Davis artist Donna Billick, co-founder and co-director of the UC Davis Art/Science Fusion Program.
The funds will be used in the Johnson lab. His graduate student, Gerard Smith, researches the effect of pesticide exposure in the field on honey bee foraging behavior, and graduate student Cameron Jasper studies the genetic basis of division of labor in honey bees.
Jamison has visited the Laidlaw facility and the adjacent Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven several times. Last September she and Fresno beekeeper Brian Liggett "talked bees" and bee health with Cooperative Extension specialist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology and Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology and professor of entomology.
Like the DAR, the honey bee is closely linked to America. European colonists brought the honey bee to the Jamestown Colony, Virginia, in 1622, some 153 years before the American Revolution. Native Americans called it "the white man's fly." Honey bees did not arrive in California until 1853, transported via the Isthmus of Panama.
The U. S. honey bee population has declined by about a third since 2006 due to the mysterious malady known as colony collapse disorder (CCD), said Mussen, attributing CCD to multiple factors including disease, pests, parasites, pesticides, malnutrition and stress.
Meanwhile, the gift from the nation's oldest genealogical society to support one of the world's oldest--and the most beneficial--insects, the honey bee, is a gift from the heart.

The Not-So-Awkward In-Between Stage
For those beginning with Accordance, we offer two distinct tracks in our product line. The Library Collection is for those primarily interested in doing English Bible study, but who may nevertheless want to delve into the Greek or Hebrew behind the English. The Scholar's Collection is for those who wish to work with the original language texts directly: seminary students, pastors, and of course, scholars. But what if you're an in-betweener? Someone who is primarily doing English Bible study, but who may nevertheless want to do simple searches of the original language texts and consult more in depth lexicons and grammars. Are you caught in the middle between our English Bible study oriented Library and our original language heavy Scholar's Collection?
Not at all. While dividing our product line into two distinct tracks makes it easy for us to offer an affordable starting point for the user who wants to do basic English Bible study (see, for example, the Library 8 Entry and Introductory Levels), as well as the seminary student on a budget (see the Scholar's 8 Introductory Level), we recognize that the best fit for most users will be some combination of the Library and Scholar's collection.
For example, the other day I was teaching a seminar and someone told me he was considering getting the Scholar's Premier level. He explained that he was going to be heading overseas and would be receiving seminary-level training in the original languages, but it was clear that he did not currently read Greek or Hebrew. Since the Scholar's Collection was largely beyond his current capabilities, I tried to steer him toward one of the Library levels and its various Key-numbered English Bibles, but he made it clear that he wanted to get the high end tools he eventually would be using before he headed overseas.
I then pointed him to our Library and Scholar's Bundles. The Introductory Bundle includes the Introductory levels of both the Library and the Scholar's for just $199. The Standard Bundle includes the Standard levels of both the Library and the Scholar's for just $379. Finally, The Premier Bundle includes the Premier levels of both the Library and the Scholar's for just $559. He decided to go with the Standard level, which would give him most everything he would need both now and in the near future.
These bundles are designed to give the "in-betweener" a way to get both the English Bible study tools he needs, along with a good selection of in depth Greek and Hebrew texts and tools.
In my next post, I'll talk about how someone like the gentleman mentioned above can, even now, piggy-back off the Strong's number resources of the Library in order to explore the in depth Greek and Hebrew materials of the Scholar's collection.

Air pollution causes heart attacks and death. Especially when the pollutants include ozone and particulate matter. And more often in the summer time, when ozone levels are higher.
These are the conclusions of researchers at Rice University who studied the 11,677 cases of cardiac arrest logged by emergency services personnel in Houston, Tx. between 2004 and 2011. They found that during periods of peak pollution, the heart attack risk to Houston residents increases as much as 4.6%.
All these heart attacks took place outside of hospitals. The researchers Katherine Ensor and Loren Raun cross referenced the time and place of the cases against air pollutant levels recorded by the extensive network of air monitors throughout the Houston area. They announced their findings over the weekend at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference in Boston.
Air pollution is of particular concern in Houston, which is home to the nation's biggest petrochemical refining complex, and which ranks 8th in the nation in ozone levels and 13th on Forbes' Annual Ranking of the 20 Dirtiest Cities in America.
But the findings are significant to any region with air quality issues. Nationwide, according the their study, 300,000 people suffer heart attacks outside of hospitals, and a remarkable 90% of them die. More than half of those cases occur during summer.
Respiratory health researches have for years suspected a relationship between raised levels of particulate matter (defined as airborne particles smaller than 2.5 micrograms) and cardiac arrest. But according to the researchers, this is the first time that a direct correlation has been made between ozone levels and heart attacks.
There are extenuating circumstances, of course. According to other studies cited by the Rice researchers, heart disease is more prevalent among people of low income, low educational attainment and African American ethnicity.
Raun and Ensor conclude that federal air quality standards are adequate where ozone levels are concerned (at 75 parts per billion), but that lives would be saved if particulate matter standards were tightened below the current level of 35 micrograms per cubic meter of air.
The good news is that Houston's air quality has improved dramatically over the years. As bad as the air in some U.S. cities is, it's pretty much crystal clear relative to the likes of Beijing, which according to air quality readings taken at the U.S. Embassy there averages 65 micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter of air.
These findings will be of particular concern to cities in the Central Valley of California like Bakersfield and Fresno, which have for years ranked among the highest in the nation for air pollution.

The emotional and social effects of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis cut a deeper path through women's social and emotional lives than men's, according to a recent National Psoriasis Foundation report.
The report, an analysis of survey data from nearly 5,000 patients, showed that 20 percent of women said psoriasis is a very large problem in their everyday lives, compared to 12 percent of men. Nearly 60 percent of women said psoriasis interferes with their capacity to enjoy life, compared to 52 percent of men.
Sociology and psychology experts say that's because psoriasis taps into complex realities about how women are perceived in society and how they perceive themselves.
Dr. Wendy Chapkis, director of the women and gender studies program at the University of Southern Maine and author of "Beauty Secrets: Women and the Politics of Appearance," says psoriasis stirs up a concern with appearance that underlies many women's lives.
"The pressure is so intense on women to appear attractive to others. So much of our capital in the world is based on our appearance," Chapkis said. "That's not just an emotional reality — that's a material reality."
She said studies have shown that women who are overweight or whose appearance differs from the norm have a harder time getting and keeping jobs regardless of competence, and are paid less.
Dealing with psoriasis can be particularly hard on young women, according to Dr. Julie Nelligan, a Portland, Oregon, psychologist who specializes in the emotional impact of chronic diseases.
"People under 40 are looking for their social group, their career, their mate," said Nelligan. "It's very important how other people perceive them. If their psoriasis is in a place that makes them uncomfortable, that can impair their confidence and ability to form the key relationships and activities that are the foundation for their lives."
Psoriasis 'always present'
The relationship between appearance and confidence for women living with psoriasis is complicated and sometimes confusing. Leigh Z., a 33-year-old San Diego, California, resident who was diagnosed at age 5, says psoriasis dominated her outlook for many years.
"It was always present. When I went shopping, when I went to a new school, in every sort of situation there was always the psoriasis. I didn't date at all in high school, and it wasn't until I had a boyfriend in college that I started coming out to my closest friends about psoriasis."
The disease appeared mostly on her elbows and knees then; now, she sees it mainly on her ankles, upper arms and, since pregnancy, on her fingernails.
Though she is more open about psoriasis now, and feels comfortable talking about it in person, Leigh identified herself for this article by her middle name only.
"It's ironic that I feel so comfortable in my own skin, yet I am not willing to expose myself nationally, to say, 'Here I am, I have psoriasis, look at me.' Even now, it is still something I am coming to grips with."
Leigh feels lucky to have found a treatment regimen (she uses coal tar ointment) that allows her to keep the disease from ruling her life. Now a busy mother and communications professional, keeping thoughts of psoriasis at bay helps her focus on other priorities.
"Otherwise, I would go crazy," she said.
Psychologist Nelligan said that finding a sense of control, as Leigh has, is essential to overcoming the feelings of anger, frustration, embarrassment and helplessness that hit female psoriasis patients harder than males.
"A lot of women don't feel they are as powerful a force in their own lives as men do. Men are taught from early on to figure out how to solve their problems and be on their own. Women don't grow up with the same sense of [controlling their own destiny]."
Self-acceptance is key
Nelligan says cognitive behavioral therapy is particularly useful in empowering women. The technique focuses on how patients perceive their own effectiveness in dealing with important issues in their lives, and on changing thought patterns that lead to helplessness and despair.
How a woman with psoriasis chooses to dress may be an example.
Given the importance of appearance to women's success and self-esteem, it's hardly a surprise that nearly half of the women surveyed said they alter their clothing choices to conceal psoriasis, compared with a third of men.
Hiding psoriasis may be a sign that a woman suffers from shame and embarrassment about her body, and feels she has no choice but to cover up. On the other hand, choosing flattering clothing that highlights other features could mean a woman has accepted her disease and is taking control by making choices that increase her confidence. That acceptance is at the core of emotional health for anyone with a chronic disease, Nelligan said. "Even if you are getting treatment, you still have the disease. You have to figure out how you are going to live your life anyway. If you don't accept that you have psoriasis or any other chronic illness, then you don't address it and it creates even more chaos in your life."
Brooklyn, New York, resident Patricia O'Shea was diagnosed with psoriasis 14 years ago at age 41. The disease was a huge blow to her self-esteem. Prominent psoriasis on her face and hands destroyed the flawless skin she had considered her best feature and left her feeling exposed and alienated.
"When this hit, I was extremely angry. I was a waitress and a swimming instructor. This ended both of those jobs," she said.
Finding NPF and eventually becoming a support group leader for the New York City area helped O'Shea come to terms with the disease and separate it from her identity as a woman.
"Before, I thought it was a punishment," she said. "Now I know it is just part of the package of Patricia O'Shea. If you can't accept that, then you don't get me."
Finding a supportive community, as O'Shea did, is critical in helping women see how their own emotional struggles with psoriasis are tied into larger social realities, says sociology professor Chapkis.
"The really painful piece is when we not only feel bad, but then we feel bad about feeling bad," she said. "It's damaging to feel this is our individual, personal, private failing rather than the effect of a society that makes clear to women that appearance absolutely determines how important we are. That's why it is so important for women to be in community with other women with the same challenges."
Driving discovery, creating community
For more than 50 years, we've been driving efforts to cure psoriatic disease and improve the lives of those affected. But there's still plenty to do! Learn how you can help our advocacy team shape the laws and policies that affect people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis – in your state and across the country. Help us raise funds to support research by joining Team NPF, where you can walk, run, cycle, play bingo or create your own fundraising event. If you or someone you love needs free, personalized support for living a healthier life with psoriatic disease, contact our Patient Navigation Center. And keep the National Psoriasis Foundation going strong by making a donation today. Together, we will find a cure.
