Please Show Your Support for Two Bike/Ped-Friendly Bills
H.209 and H.306
Here's the reason for this request:
H.209 is a bill which builds on the Safe Passing law of 2010. H.209 has been introduced by main sponsor Rep. Jim McCullough after much leg work by citizen advocate Bruce Cunningham. It mandates that a motorist pass a bicyclist (or other vulnerable roadway user) with a minimum of 3-feet clearance and with additional clearance as vehicle speed increases. This bill will provide enhanced safety for bicyclists, pedestrians, and other vulnerable roadway users. Here's a link to the full text of H.209. Click on "Original Version."
H.306 is a bill which doubles the fine for motorists who speed in the immediate vicinity of a school. The bill calls for the monies collected from fines to be dedicated to VT's Safe Routes to School program. Currently, fines are doubled in construction work zones. VT's children (and all others who use roads near schools) deserve the same level of protection. This bill has been introduced by main sponsor, Rep. Mollie Burke, at the request of the VBPC. Here's a link to the text of H.306. Click on "Original Version."
In other legislative matters: Many bicyclists are expressing concern about S.136, a bill introduced on the Senate side that requires bikes to be registered. The VBPC's recommendation is to take no action as this bill is very unlikely to advance. Instead, please focus your time and energy on helping to get H.209 and H.306 voted out of the House Trans Committee. That's the critical next step. There's lots of competition and your voice is needed to demonstrate to lawmakers that Vermonters care about bike/ped safety.
Thank you.
VBPC Supports Expanded Bottle Bill
The following comments were delivered by the VBPC's executive director, Nancy Schulz, at a public meeting organized by the Agency of Natural Resources on March 12, 2013:
As the executive director of the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition, a statewide nonprofit organization, I appreciate the opportunity to speak this evening on behalf of Vermont's many bicyclists and pedestrians.
One often hears elected leaders and public officials use the word "pristine" to describe Vermont. If you spend any amount of time bicycling or walking on Vermont's roads, you know that the word "pristine" doesn't apply. Walkers and bicyclists, by virtue of their slower speed and proximity to the earth, see plenty of ugly trash that is frequently invisible to those zooming along in motor vehicles. Besides being aesthetically offensive, this trash can contaminate our waterways and harm Vermont's wildlife. It also sends a message that community members don't care enough about their towns to keep their roadsides clean.
Cleaner roadways are safer roadways. Roadways that are littered with trash, including sharp pieces of metal and broken glass, are hazardous to the category of citizens called "vulnerable roadway users." This category includes not only bicyclists and walkers but also runners, equestrians, roller skiers, construction workers, and many others.
Almost all Vermonters are pedestrians even if their short walk is from a parking spot to the office or from home to the corner store. Because most of Vermont's paved roads are not lined with sidewalks, pedestrians are forced to walk on the shoulder or in the travel lane, if a shoulder isn't present. Under these circumstances, broken glass presents a real danger, especially in low-light conditions.
When confronted by a shoulder littered with broken glass, a cyclist must decide to either risk a flat tire by continuing straight ahead or risk a collision with a motor vehicle by swerving left into the travel lane. Neither choice is a safe one yet bicyclists in Vermont face these choices on a daily basis.
Given that the draft report comparing system costs and materials recovery rates estimates that Vermont saves roughly $850,000 per year as a result of the current bottle bill and that an expanded bottle bill will result in savings of $1.2 million, it would seem that expansion is a wise choice. Expansion would seem to be an especially wise choice when public safety and environmental costs, including those I've just described, are considered in the equation. In the 40 years since the first bottle bill was implemented, the amount of litter in Vermont has dropped by one third. Let's protect citizens and truly beautify Vermont's landscape by reducing the amount of litter on our roadsides even more. Please support an expanded bottle bill. Thank you.

The VT Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition (VBPC) held its annual Bike/Ped Forum on October 24 in Montpelier. The event attracted over 80 attendees who participated actively in eight breakout sessions and two plenary sessions. Topics included: What's happening at VTrans and Amtrak, making towns more bike/ped-friendly, working with law enforcement, the new generation of utility bikes, incentives for employees who bike or walk to work, mapmaking, the Complete Streets law, unpaved trails and paths, and the data revealed by the recently completed bike/ped economic study. Attendees included transportation planners, elected state and local officials, members of advocacy groups and bike clubs, owners of bike shops and other bike/ped businesses, law enforcement officers, staffers from colleges and government agencies, bike/ped enthusiasts, and others.
Sponsors of the event included the VT Dept. of Tourism & Marketing, Bike Vermont, Merchants Bank, Skirack, the Old Spokes Home, Onion River Sports, and the Rutland Regional Planning Commission. The Red Hen Bakery, On the Rise Bakery, Hannaford's, The Flynn Center, and Sun Fitness provided donations of food and door prizes. Speakers were from a variety of groups, including the Brattleboro Bike Revolution, the Mad River Path Association, the Vermont Mountain Biking Association, VTrans, the VT Department of Tourism and Marketing, National Life, the VT Rail Action Network, the Windham Regional Commission, the law firm Dinse, Knapp & McAndrew, AARP, Local Motion, and Lake Champlain Bikeways.
Free Statewide Bicycle Map Released
The VBPC is grateful to Megan Smith, Commissioner of the Department of Tourism & Marketing, for the Department's contributions to this project, particularly the costs associated with printing and distribution. Greg Gerdel and David Burnell (also from Tourism) played key roles in getting the map completed. Thanks, too, to David Lustgarden for involving Champlain's students in this real world experience and to the volunteer bicyclists who recommended the best roads in their regions of the state.
Please note that this map is viewed as a first edition in what we anticipate will be an ever-improving series of maps. You may wonder why certain roads were designated as bike routes and other roads were not. Sometimes it was a result of the input we received from bicyclists who live in the area and who were asked to supply recommendations. Space limitations played a role in certain omissions. There were numerous other factors at play, as well. Most important to note is the opportunity for you to supply feedback for the next edition of this map. Please help us make future maps more accurate, more complete, and better in every way. After reviewing the map, go to VermontVacation.com/Feedback and record your thoughts. Your suggestions will be studied in preparation for the next edition.
In the meantime, please use this new map to explore more of Vermont--safely by bike. Thank you.
Comments Submitted to Transportation Board (November, 2012)
The Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition (VBPC) is a statewide nonprofit organization that works to transform Vermont into a safer and friendlier place for bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages. The VBPC appreciates the opportunity to submit comments on behalf of its members and supporters, who wish to see changes in Vermont's transportation policies.
The Coalition is grateful for the effort that was made by the T-Board to provide advance notice of the 2012 series of hearings. The VBPC is grateful, also, for the positive changes VTrans has made recently, including awarding almost $2.5 million to towns for bike/ped projects, distributing new bike racks throughout the state, agreeing to meet quarterly with the VBPC, and welcoming the VBPC's request to become involved in the newly-formed VT Highway Safety Alliance (VHSA).
The bike/ped community in Vermont remains concerned about a number of issues including the following:
Shoulders. Many of Vermont's paved roads that are maintained by the state lack shoulders. In cases where shoulders exist, the shoulders are often in poor condition or are too narrow for safe bicycling. The single most important infrastructure improvement that the state can make for bicyclists and pedestrians is to improve the condition and the width of shoulders. A feedback system might be something that could help VTrans be more responsive to specific notifications of trouble spots. An example of a web site designed for this purpose is: http://www.fixmystreet.com/
Sweeping a shoulder a couple of times a year so that it is relatively free of debris is important, also.
Paving. It's important for VTrans, as it copes with insufficient dollars in its maintenance budget, to be as creative as possible in finding solutions to paving problems. The VBPC hopes that VTrans will continue to explore the middle ground between mere pothole patching and total repaving of road surfaces. Using dollars efficiently and being more bike/ped friendly do not have to be mutually exclusive goals.
Complete Streets Implementation. The Complete Streets law, which went into effect in July 2011, requires that the needs of all roadway users be considered when new roads are constructed and when existing roads are re-constructed. The rush to re-open bridges and roads after Tropical Storm Irene in August, 2011 caused the Complete Streets law to be ignored. This was understandable given the scope of the damage and the need to speed the recovery. Because scientists tell us Vermont can anticipate more severe storms as a result of climate change, can the administration provide some assurance that the Complete Streets law won't be ignored each time a major storm destroys existing infrastructure?
Bikes on Trains. Amtrak recently announced that it's exploring the feasibility of allowing bikes to be rolled onto trains in VT once again. The VBPC appreciates the fact that this announcement followed letters that came from Governor Shumlin and Commissioner of Tourism & Marketing, Megan Smith. It's important that elected and appointed officials within the Shumlin administration continue to monitor developments and let Amtrak know that they look forward to progress in this area.
To improve the health of Vermont's citizens, to have cleaner air and water, to curb climate change, chronic disease rates, and health care costs, there are cost-effective methods. There are ways to make it possible for Vermonters to bicycle, walk, and run safely. Other states and countries are making these changes. Vermont can, too.
As you prepare your report for the legislature and for VTrans, the VBPC strongly recommends that you stress the importance of including the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians in all transportation-related decisions. Thank you.

Which State Road Shoulders Need Work?
State Announces Bike/Ped Plans
In remarks before the House Transportation Committee on January 27, Deputy Secretary of Transportation Sue Minter outlined the administration's bike/ped plans for Fiscal Year 2012 which begins July 1. Deputy Secretary Minter stated that: "This administration is committed to accommodating needs of bicyclists and pedestrians." This is good news, indeed, and it's news that the bike/ped community in Vermont has waited a very long time to hear.
The following are some of the highlights the Deputy Secretary shared:
The state's FY 2012 bike/ped budget is up 2 percent over FY 2011. In these extremely difficult economic times, this is an indication that the Shumlin administration is acknowledging that bike/ped hasn't received the attention it deserves. (A list of which bike/ped projects are scheduled for construction in FY 2012 is available from VTrans. Please let me know if you are interested in these details.)
In FY 2012, the state will increase bike parking at park and ride facilities, public buildings, downtown areas, and at strategic public transit locations. (At the urging of the VBPC, Rep. Jason Lorber, D-Burlington, is drafting legislation that will increase the availability of bike parking at state buildings. Rep. Lorber serves on the House Institutions Committee. It's gratifying that members of both the administration and the legislature will be addressing this issue. The VBPC also had discussed the need for improvements in this area with Rep. Mary Hooper (D-Montpelier) and Joan Lenes (D-Shelburne). Both serve on the House Institutions Committee.)
Local bike/ped safety education programs will be funded in FY 2012. No details yet as to the dollars available or the application process.
Although the state will re-open the bike/ped program that allows municipalities to apply for funding for bike/ped infrastructure, there will be some research before the door is flung wide open. The plan is to devote FY 2012 to assessing current needs. Part of this process will be an analysis of crash data. Members of the bike/ped community will be included in the conversation and invited to provide input. The VBPC welcomes this openness on the part of the Shumlin administration and we look forward to hearing specifics regarding when these discussions will begin. In FY 2013, the state will undertake a cost/benefit analysis to determine which bike/ped projects make the most sense to advance.
Jon Kaplan, the state's Bike/Ped Program Manager, announced that the first public meeting on the Bike/Ped Economic Study will be held February 16. VTrans has commissioned a study to determine the number of dollars that bicycling and walking generate in the Vermont economy. Public input into this process is welcome.
The VBPC will report updates on the above as info becomes available. Thanks for your support of the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition.

"Safe Passing" Bill Becomes Law!
The "Safe Passing" Law: What It Means for Vermont's Roadway Users New legislation that offers protections to Vermont's "vulnerable" roadway users was signed by Governor Douglas on May 20. The law, Act 114, defines pedestrians, people in wheelchairs, bicyclists, people on horseback, roller skiers and others as "vulnerable users." Essentially, those who aren't completely encased in metal are much more susceptible to injury and are, therefore, in this category of roadway users.
The Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition (VBPC), a statewide nonprofit education and advocacy organization, spearheaded a grassroots effort that resulted in the "Safe Passing" bill clearing key committees and both chambers of the legislature. The full text of the new law can be viewed on the home page of the VBPC: www.vtbikeped.org
In brief, here's how the law will benefit all bicyclists and pedestrians in Vermont:
All of the above changes will help improve conditions on Vermont's roadways for those who enjoy bicycling, running, walking, horseback riding, roller skiing, roller skating, and other activities.
Although it's been a widely-accepted practice that a bicyclist can signal a right turn with his or her right arm, it is now permitted by law. It's important for a bicyclist to move to the left to prepare to make a left turn or avoid a hazard in the road. Nevertheless, this move has never been described officially in statute and sometimes other roadway users interpret it as inappropriate or illegal.
While the new law offers protections, it also calls upon bicyclists to display a greater degree of responsibility for safety. For the first time, a bicyclist, while riding at night, is required to have a red light on the rear or a minimum amount of reflective material. The light or the reflective material may be mounted on either the bike or the bicyclist. The law gives the bicyclist plenty of flexibility, while at the same time, requiring that the bicyclist be highly visible to other roadway users.
Prior to the passage of this law, if a driver or passenger in a car threw an object at a vulnerable roadway user, the only legal recourse was to charge them with littering. Clearly, harassment and littering are two, very different offenses.
Unfortunately, there are roadways users who are ignorant, thoughtless, and/or arrogant. Some are motorists, some are bicyclists, and some are pedestrians. The VBPC works to encourage all roadway users to demonstrate respect and courtesy for all other roadway users. Bikes were on the roads before cars and horses were on the roads before bikes. Equestrians, bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists will be sharing Vermont's roads for a long time into the future. With a little mindfulness and consideration, such sharing can be a pleasant experience for all.
The Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition is happy to respond to questions and comments about the new legislation. Feedback may be directed to Executive Director Nancy Schulz at (802) 225-8904

Citizen Advocacy Works!
by Judy Bond, VBPC board president
Recently, there have been several great examples of citizen input with great results. Strong bike/ped support shaped the design of the Champlain Bridge to have good sidewalks and bike-friendly shoulders. Hundreds of individually-crafted letters of support influenced the House Transportation Committee to take up H.540. The addition of bike routes to Google Maps was a direct result of the many requests from the cycling community. So to all of you who have written or spoken up: a huge "thanks!" And please know that if you do respond to a VBPC Action Alert, your input is very important.

TCP connection hijacking and parasites - as a good thing
Posted Aug 13, 2011 22:55 UTC (Sat) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
this works quite well if you aren't sensitive to time warps, and everything is in one geographic location so that you can have the snapshots stored on shared disks.
if you are sensitive to time warps, and you need to allow for your recovery to be in a different geographic location (so that there is a significant lag in the storage changes getting replicated to the new datacenter) then the approach of just saying "vmware solves our HA/DR issues, we don't need to care about them at an application design level" is a very bad approach to take.
Posted Aug 15, 2011 20:50 UTC (Mon) by raven667 (subscriber, #5198) [Link]
Of course, saying that VM solves our HA/DR problems like so much secret sauce is BS without making the application resilient to the same kind of problems that can happen to bare metal such as unexpected crashes and some way to handle DR which is very different than HA.
Actually VMware does have a feature now called Fault Tolerance where a VM is run in lockstep on two different nodes in a cluster. They are kept running the same instruction for instruction AFAIK so there would be no time warp during a failover event, there are some product demos on youtube showing them playing a video file over a remote desktop and it not skipping a frame while failing over. That could work as an HA solution but would do nothing for DR.
Posted Aug 16, 2011 0:08 UTC (Tue) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
In this case the vendor was claiming that this also solved crash problems because vmware would just restart the application on the other server exactly where it left off when the first server crashed.
I doubt that the vmware Fault Tolerance would work for any system that used random numbers as I don't see how they could find all the places that generated or used the random numbers and make both machines have the exact same results.
Posted Aug 16, 2011 20:36 UTC (Tue) by robbe (guest, #16131) [Link]
VMware's HA feature just restarts the VM affected by a server crash on another ESX server. From the perspective of the VM it looks like a spontaneous reboot. This guarantees minimum downtime, but does not make the crash invisible to the application. > I doubt that the vmware Fault Tolerance would work for any system that used random numbers [...]
Remember that all the HW excepting the CPU is emulated. Fault Tolerance works by replicating the external events (e.g. an incoming network packet) seen by the original VM at the same point in time on the backup VM. Usual sources of entropy will be equal to both machines.
Maybe someone could deliberately construct a program that runs differently in the original and the backup VM. The only thing I can think of right now is measuring time via a covert channel (the normal means like RDTSC are covered, of course) -- but this is too vague still to make into an "exploit".

Looking at the VMware FT docs the hypervisor for the primary VM very thoroughly records anything that could change state and does not pass it through to the primary until it is transmitted and receipt acknowledged by the hypervisor for the secondary VM. Features such as SMP or hardware MMU are disabled as their state can't be recorded and could introduce non-determinism. Each event is injected into the secondary at the same execution point. That certainly has to work with nanosecond timing, from the point view from inside the secondary VM. According to wall clock time the secondary will always be lagging behind, the demos show lag in the millisecond range, but because events are recorded it can be brought up to current during a failover event, so no state should be lost.
If you are interested you may want to do a little research on the topic, on your own. When I get this set up in my test environment I'll definitely run though creating ssh keys and whatnot to validate my understanding that this does work.

Latest Reviews for Akoya Pearl Jewelry
Good service, very attractive earrings, my wife was delighted with them.
I didnt really like the chain. Its also far too small - i think they should offer different sizes to choose from...
the product is great, fedex is terrible. i'm in the uk and they don't deliver on saturday's here or promise to deliver in a window (e.g. i asked if they could come in the morning) - services you can get from other couriers. they took a lot of time to manage on the phone. if i don't buy again, it will be because of fedex.
Excellent Service - particularly liked the ability to chat to customer service on line - My wife loved the Necklace.

This is some good grass dude!
if i had to choose any pokemon for a pet it would be an electivire and samurott because it would power my house and beat the sh***t out of my stepdad

I wouldn't want anything to powerful- I'd be afraid it'd try to kill me if I got after it for getting on the table or something. I'm thinking probably a Skitty, or maybe a Glameow.

Arggh, This is a hard question.
Wailord would be pretty cool to ride across the sea. Tropius would be cool because he's a moving banana tree.
Shelgon would be good because you could play ball game with it and roll it round. Victini would always make you victorious.
Lots of others to.
DITTO! show it a picture of a pokemon have it transform into it. it could be anything ^U^
if not a honchkrow i love that pokemon and it could fly me places
my 3rd would be a tyranitar which says to people who ever will mess with me to F*** off of ill kill you XD
VM me and such if you wanna play some SSBB! im always up for a challange!
A shiny Vaporeon...or a Salamence. Either would be cool.
My team. I just love the six of them so much. They would be the most pampered, lazy pokemon in the world--I'd have to teach them to speak, though. All that pokemon talk would get on my nerves. Plus, it's better if I can understand what they are saying.
Hitmonchan - Sertorius
Medicham - Effie
Scrafty - Reglius
Breloom - Ariadne
Infernape - Hephaestus
Lucario - Rumia
The only possible dilemma I can see is what I'm going to do about Heph's fire. I'd be afraid he'd burn the house down.
I actually did that once. About ten years ago.

*Note to Mods and such: I will not be on much until October. This account is not dead or abandoned, I just don't have much to say about pokemon for now.*
Lets see:
Charmander( I wouldn't evolve it tho , its too cute too)
Just as a pet like Dawn's Mom's Glameow? I'd have to say Liepard. Other than that, I'd have to go with my all time fave, Zangoose
Eevee, because it's most like an ordinary dog but with an indefinite lifespan and it would probably teach my house dog some manners!
Either Skitty (Because it loves to play and reminds me of my grandparents' cat in terms of personality), Eevee because it is so soft and fluffy or Blissey because it is cute, friendly and would help make me happy after a bad day.

Shaymin ^_^ Because i'll know i'll have to remember gratitude and stuff then. I wouldn't wanna make Shaymin sad! If it helps, I can always try to convince myself that me and my Shaymin were the only 'real' living things on earth....(yes. you don't want to visit the dark depths of MY BRAIN....*face palm*)
Any of the electric rodents. Jirachi would be boss to have, but since it only lasts 7 days I wouldn't have much fun with it :( I know! I can wish it wouldn't last for 7 days X)
Thanks to Eeveelover824 for team pose.I'm just a little boy taking a walk with my monstrous electric-type Pokemon
Any of these:
And many others...
If I had to pick just one, it would be either Squirtle, Pikachu, Cyndaquil, Treecko, Turtwig, or Oshawott. Something that is not too large or difficult to handle.

Piplup would make an adorable pet. : ) If it was anything like Dawn's, I could carry it around with me wherever I go. Plus, free water!
I also wouldn't mind having a laid-back Pokemon like Chikorita or Starly. And of course I'd love to have a Flareon, if I could fireproof my house, that is. XD
Plusle. If I had a Plusle, I wouldn't even make it battle because I would be too busy cuddling it.
And so a new journey begins...

2. | rock 'n roll | ||
1. A genre of music which originated in the 50's from jazz, blues, and country. It reached it's peak in the late 60's/early 70's and has branched into many different styles, including Heavy Metal, Punk Rock, Hard Rock, Progressive Rock, etc.
The main instruments usually in rock bands are the electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and sometimes keyboards. 2. To have sex. this meaning is no longer in use. 1. Today I went to a rock 'n roll concert. It was pretty okay
2. Me and my girlfiend were rock 'n rolling all night long. It was pretty okay. |
1. | Rock 'n Roll | ||
The phenomenon which began in the 50's with the combination of rhythm and blues, country music, and gospel. It was pioneered by Chuck Berry, transformed by The Beatles, hardened by Led Zeppelin and AC/DC, and through the course of the 70's evolved into the pinnacle of musical glory.
Since then, it has lost the "Roll" and degenerated into "Rock" a generic term for all manners of crappy, modern, guitar driven music that has nothing to do with the messages, anthems, and ideals of old. Rather than professing a belief in the "Livin' easy, livin' free" lifestyle professed by AC/DC and their contemporaries, "Rock" now aims to piss and moan as much as possible whilst backed by horrible, rehashed guitar and pre-pubescent vocals about slutty girlfriends and cannabis. Rock and Roll is not just a genre of music. Beyond that, it is a philosophy, attitude, and way of life. The purpose of Rock 'n Roll as opposed to other types of music, is to rebel. True Rock asserts that we need to stick it to The Man and Rage against The Machine (see The Man, see also The Machine). Rock and Roll is a way to disent The Establishment, and somewhere along the line we forgot that. Some believe that all you need to rock is righteous outrage, when in fact you also need talent and inspiration. Rock 'n Roll isn't dead. It's just that it's going through a dry-spell.
Besides, it won't be dead until there are none left willing to Stick it to The Man. Wearing a pink shirt is the most un-Rock 'n Roll thing you can do. Those who hate Rock 'n Roll hate living and, indeed, life itself. |
3. | Rock 'n Roll | ||
Music that started in the 1950's. Mix the blues or rhythm & blues with 2 or more of the following: country, swing, gospel, jazz, ummm... there's more but fuck it.
Basically any music with a good beat, soul, and a wild, raw feel to it. But it gotta be up-beat and have some blues in it. Whoever wrote that other definition is a fuckin' idiot. P.S. "Hits" don't dictate what's good or bad. The people running the radio stations don't know shit. Joe Turner - "Flip, Flop & Fly"
Chuck Berry - "Sweet Little Sixteen" Jerry Lee Lewis - "Great Balls of Fire" The Kingsmen (or Richard Berry) - "Louie Louie" Ray Charles - "I Got a Woman" Screamin' Jay Hawkins - "Little Demon" Carl Perkins - "Honey Don't" Elvis Presley - "Hound Dog" The Ramones - "Rockaway Beach" Trashmen - "Surfin' Bird" The Cramps - "Mama Oo Pow Pow" Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels - "Devil with the Blue Dress on" Tommy James - "Hanky Panky" Dion & the Belmonts - "Runaround Sue" |
4. | Rock 'n Roll | ||
hey not really gonna define rock 'n roll cause that first defenition has got it coverd. I just got to say that the kid who wrote the definition defning what bands rock and if you disagree your wrong. Ya man your a fucking idiot. You dont know shit about Rock 'N Roll. You list a couple hits and think your fit to define rock itself. You can't say what bands rock cause there to many. Next time you go to set a defenition make sure you know what the fuck your talking about. You dont have a fucking clue what Rock 'N Roll is.
5. | rock 'n roll | ||
A exclamation of excitement.
Generally used in reference to going someplace. Let's rock 'n roll!
6. | Rock 'n Roll | ||
its like music ok?? it used to be rock and roll then rock n roll now its just rock..... um yeah "IM 64 IN 2 YEARS LOCK UP YOUR CHILDREN"-Paul McC the Strudel
7. | Rock 'n Roll | ||
Rock And Roll Bands: If they aren't listed here, they suck or aren't real rock and roll.
For Your convenience, I have also listed their best song. If you disagree with me, you are wrong. Also, no One-Hit Wonders qualify. These have to be actually talented bands.

Brown agrees new Oxford United contract
11:22am Thursday 17th May 2012 in Oxford Utd By David Pritchard , Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
WAYNE Brown has accepted a new two-year contract to stay at Oxford United.
The 35-year-old goalkeeper will again act as back-up to the U's number one Ryan Clarke.
His new deal will also see him take on more of a coachng role, assisting Alan Hodgkinson in helping to bring through youngster Max Crocombe.
He said: "I've really enjoyed my time in Oxford and I'm pleased to have extended my stay.
"I feel I still have something to offer as a player, but at the same time I see coaching as my future and I couldn't ask for a better person to learn from than Alan."
Brown made four appearances for the first-team last season, but missed the end of the campaign with a knee injury.
It leaves Adam Chapman as the only player offered a new contract by the U's last week yet to agree his future.

OneTwoWatch: Skylar Grey
by Myspace Music Jan 09, 2013 at 3:54 PM
When singer/songwriter Skylar Grey showed up in L.A. a decade ago, she was plain ol' Holly Brook, a 17-year-old girl who'd been in a folk duo with her mom growing up in Wisconsin. She quickly wound up broke and hungry until her sweetly delicate voice was featured on Mike Shinoda's side project Fort Minor's 2006 hit "Where'd You Go." She landed a slew of opening tour slots and then released her debut record. -

Megan And Liz
Most 14-year-olds spend their free time playing video games, texting and trying to figure out the opposite sex. Not Megan and Liz, fraternal twins who grew up in a tiny town in Michigan. Instead, they began singing covers of songs and uploading them onto Myspace and then YouTube. Five years later, the duo have transcended the term "YouTube singers," having released plenty of original songs. In fact, just a few months ago the New York Times proclaimed that with "Bad for Me," their effervescent pop hit, the two had "graduated" from singing other people's songs. -
OneTwoWatch: Conor Maynard
by Myspace Music Dec 12, 2012 at 8:42 PM
Conor Maynard has been called the "British Justin Bieber," but that's a pretty lazy comparison. Yes, their rises to fame are similar — Bieber was discovered by R&B superstar Usher on Youtube; Maynard was discovered by R&B superstar Ne-Yo on Youtube — and they've both attracted slick celebrity producers. But Maynard seems to have studied at a different school altogether. He's a former actor, for one, and quips fly out of his mouth every other minute. His music is certainly poppy, but on his debut album Contrast, funk and sexed-up hip hop permeate tracks like "Can't Say No" and stretchy electro synths dominate songs like "Animal."
Maynard might have captured the adoration of girls in the UK, but he's still able to move around freely in the U.S. without inciting riots. Get to know him here first before that changes — which it will, and soon. -
OneTwoWatch: Gold Fields
by Myspace Music Nov 27, 2012 at 7:45 PM
If you've ever met a band from Australia … you know that bands from Australia are fun. Gold Fields are no exception. The guys in the band – who are Mark Robert Fulller (vocals), Vin Adanar (guitar/vocals), Rob Clifton (keys, percussion), Ryan D'Sylva (drums) and Luke Peldys (bass) – are ready to drink, ready to play ball, ready to eat weird food and ready to never share a bed together again. Their music – with it's fun, pop-rock-dance-move-your-ass vibe – has a readiness to it too. It's ready to go and ready to take you there. And it makes you feel pretty damn good to listen to. -

Meet Zedd, given name Anton Zaslavski. Born in Russia. Raised in Germany. Classically trained as a pianist. And currently taking the EDM and pop worlds by storm. His shows are jam packed with happy people. Gaga loves him. Skrillex loves him. Bieber loves him. We love him. Not only is he super-talented, he's also game to try out new weird instruments, has the chillest, sweetest vibe and can take a party from zero to 200mph faster than anyone we've ever met.

University requirements:
Additional program requirements:
Applicants meeting the appropriate formulaic score using a GPA of less than 3.0 may be admitted as an exception.
The increasingly complex nature of the accounting and controllership functions, as well as the growing responsibilities of the accountant, make graduate study desirable. The Coggin College of Business provides a professionally oriented Master of Accountancy degree which enables career advancement in the accounting profession and the additional accounting coursework necessary to take the uniform CPA examination under Florida's accountancy law. The objective of the curriculum leading to the Master of Accountancy (MAcc) degree is to provide the necessary advanced study for those seeking careers in professional accounting as controllers and accounting executives in industry and government, or as independent certified public accountants.
The MAcc program at UNF places utmost importance on reflecting accounting as a modern profession, and the accountant as a modern professional. Emphasis is given to how accountants relate theory to current problems, and how accountants communicate such information to the various users of accounting data.
The program is designed to allow those who possess a recent baccalaureate degree from an AACSB accredited college, with an accounting major or its equivalent, to complete the MAcc in four semesters. Those who possess a baccalaureate degree in business administration or in some other discipline will be required to take foundation courses to remove any deficiencies.

In 1975 nothing about reconditioned packaging was written in the UN Orange Book. As an individual it was not possible to be heard at the UN Committee of Experts on the transport of dangerous goods and therefore it was necessary to establish an European Organization.
In 1978 the UN Committee of Experts on the transport of dangerous goods agreed that Serred had an observer seat and that it could address the meeting on packaging issues. At a later stage this seat was transferred to ICCR, who continue to represent the world-wide reconditioning industry at UN meetings.
Serred mission statement is to promote the safe, efficient and environmentally responsible design, manufacturing, collection, reconditioning, remanufacturing and re-use of reusable industrial packaging, including preparation for recycling at the end of its useful life.
Serred is representing 14 European countries and has a total of 28 individual members.
Serred's members are reconditioning over 12 million steel and plastic drums and over 2 million IBC's per year.
Serred and its membership have a tremendous knowhow and experience in the field of industrial packaging.
Through this knowhow and experience Serred's members can offer the industry the service to help the packaging users and or emptiers to meet the demands for a responsible and sustainable use of industrial packaging.
All of the industry's industrial packaging achievements can be helped by the member companies within Serred.
Information about the Serred membership is available on the website www.serred.org
Fill out the form to contact us if you are interested in becoming a member.

First, backers of Initiative 1192 – defining marriage as between "one man and one woman" – admitted they have fallen short of signatures and won't qualify the initiative for the November ballot. The failure clears the field for Referendum 74 to be the lone measure addressing same-sex marriage in the Nov. 6 general election.
The second development: Two major Microsoft figures – Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer – made major contributions to the R-74 campaign, each giving $100,000. The $200,000 boost adds to the $1.5 million that the Washington United for Marriage campaign had already collected to ratify the same-sex marriage law approved by the Legislature earlier this year.
Preserve Marriage Washington, which wants voters to reject R-74, has reported raising $130,363. But Zach Silk of the pro-R-74 side said supporters of same-sex marriage expect opponents to spend $5 million to $7 million, based on what Preserve Marriage's key ally, the National Organization for Marriage, spent in other states opposing same-sex marriage.
"We have to put ourselves in a position to compete with that. We know we need to raise it locally … and obviously the support of significant people like Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer helps,'' Silk said.
Having I-1192 out of the picture also helps by simplifying the message same-sex marriage backers will use to reach voters, Silk said.
I-1192 sponsor Stephen Pidgeon of Everett said Monday that his campaign was running far short of the 241,153 valid voter signatures needed before Friday's 5 p.m. deadline.
"I hate to say it … but we're just not going to cross the threshold. We're not going to make it. This measure is not going to be on the ballot," Pidgeon said, estimating the I-1192 campaign would be lucky to get 100,000 signatures.
Pidgeon said his team of volunteers had 98,539 signatures and was frustrated along the way by its rivalry with the group collecting signatures to put R-74 on the ballot. The failure of I-1192 leaves two initiatives in position to make the November ballot, provided supporters make Friday's deadline for signatures – Tim Eyman's latest two-thirds vote requirement for tax increases and the charter-schools proposal backed by $1 million from Gates.
Each must furnish 241,153 valid voter signatures. State elections officials typically recommend at least 320,000 signatures as a cushion against invalid signatures.

historiography, the writing of history, especially the writing of history based on the critical examination of sources, the selection of particular details from the authentic materials in those sources, and the synthesis of those details into a narrative that stands the test of critical examination. The term historiography also refers to the theory and history of historical writing.
Modern historians aim to reconstruct a record of human activities and to achieve a more profound understanding of them. This conception of their task is quite recent, dating from the development in the late 18th and early 19th centuries of "scientific" history and the simultaneous rise of history as an academic profession. It springs from an outlook that is very new in human experience: the assumption that the study of history is a natural, inevitable human activity. Before the late 18th century, historiography did not stand at the centre of any civilization. History was almost never an important part of regular education, and it never claimed to provide an interpretation of human life as a whole. This larger ambition was more appropriate to religion, philosophy, and perhaps poetry and other imaginative literature.
History of historiography
All human cultures tell stories about the past. Deeds of ancestors, heroes, gods, or animals sacred to particular peoples were chanted and memorized long before there was any writing with which to record them. Their truth was authenticated by the very fact of their continued repetition. History, which may be defined as an account that purports to be true of events and ways of thinking and feeling in some part of the human past, stems from this archetypal human narrative activity.
While sharing a common ancestry with myth, legend, epic poetry, and the novel, history has of course diverged from these forms. Its claim to truth is based in part on the fact that all the persons or events it describes really existed or occurred at some time in the past. Historians can say nothing about these persons or events that cannot be supported, or at least suggested, by some kind of documentary evidence. Such evidence customarily takes the form of something written, such as a letter, a law, an administrative record, or the account of some previous historian. In addition, historians sometimes create their own evidence by interviewing people. In the 20th century the scope of historical evidence was greatly expanded to include, among many other things, aerial photographs, the rings of trees, old coins, clothes, motion pictures, and houses. Modern historians have determined the age of the Shroud of Turin, which purportedly bears the image of Jesus, through carbon-14 dating and have discredited the claim of Anna Anderson to be the grand duchess Anastasia, the daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, through DNA testing
Just as the methods at the disposal of historians have expanded, so have the subjects in they have become interested. Many of the indigenous peoples of Africa, the Americas, and Polynesia, for example, were long dismissed by Europeans as having no precolonial history, because they did not keep written records before the arrival of European explorers. However, sophisticated study of oral traditions, combined with advances in archaeology, has made it possible to discover a good deal about the civilizations and empires that flourished in these regions before European contact.
Historians have also studied new social classes. The earliest histories were mostly stories of disasters—floods, famines, and plagues—or of wars, including the statesmen and generals who figured in them. In the 20th century, however, historians shifted their focus from statesmen and generals to ordinary workers and soldiers. Until relatively recent times, however, most men and virtually all women were excluded from history because they were unable to write. Virtually all that was known about them passed through the filter of the attitudes of literate elites. The challenge of seeing through that filter has been met by historians in various ways. One way is to make use of nontraditional sources—for example, personal documents, such as wills or marriage contracts. Another is to look at the records of localities rather than of central governments.
Through these means even the most oppressed peoples—African-American slaves or medieval heretics, for example—have had at least some of their history restored. Since the 20th century some historians have also become interested in psychological repression—i.e., in attitudes and actions that require psychological insight and even diagnosis to recover and understand. For the first time, the claim of historians to deal with the feelings as well as the thoughts of people in any part of the human past has been made good.
None of this is to say that history writing has assumed a perfect or completed form. It will never do so: examination of its past reveals remarkable changes in historical consciousness rather than steady progress toward the standards of research and writing that represent the best that historians can do today. Nevertheless, 21st-century historians understand the pasts of more people more completely and more accurately than their predecessors did. This article demonstrates the scope of that accomplishment and how it came to be achieved.
Ancient historiography
The first histories
In the beginning was the spoken word. Humans lived for tens of thousands of years with language, and thus with tales about the past, but without writing. Oral history is still important in all parts of the world, and successful transmission of stories over many generations suggests that people without writing can have a sophisticated historical sense. The historical record, however, must start with a system of writing and a suitable writing technology. The earliest forms of writing included cuneiform and pictographs, which were inscribed on stone and clay tablets in Egypt and Mesopotamia, as well as Chinese ideograms, which were incised in bronze and on oracle bones (baked oxen bones whose cracks and fissures were thought to foretell the future). People in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China were the first to make records of their contemporaries, which took the form of lists of kings and ancestors.

An Automation License for continuous integration starts at $595. To purchase, please get in touch.
Automation License for continuous integration
Set up SQL Server continuous integration with the SQL Developer Bundle
Continuous integration for SQL Server
Continuous integration is not just for application developers.
Database code is still code, so the considerable benefits of continuous integration are also available to SQL Server developers.
All you need are the right tools.
With an Automation License, you can run the tools from the SQL Developer Bundle on your build server, bringing your database into your continuous integration process.
Why is continuous integration (CI) best practice for writing code?
Fixing bugs is cheap
Testing changes up-front means you spot and fix errors early on. Problems don't have a chance to leave your development environment, let alone make it into production.
Collaborating on development becomes easy
When your code passes your tests, it joins the trunk and becomes available to the entire development team. There's no code waiting to be shared and no painful merges. Instead, everyone can build on each other's work as soon as possible.
Your code is always working and up-to-date
Only code that successfully passes tests is shared, so you can rely on the trunk working properly. Because code is integrated at once, the trunk always represents the most up-to-date version of the database.
What does continuous integration for databases involve?
Continuous integration for databases involves four processes:
- Ensuring that changes to the development database are in step with changes to your application
- Testing the database creation script
- Testing the database upgrade script
- Testing database code, such as stored procedures, views, and functions
Red Gate tools help with all four.
The tools in the SQL Developer Bundle can be used together with an existing continuous integration system to make your database part of the CI process.
What does the license actually do?
The Automation License lets you run the command line versions of SQL Compare, SQL Data Compare, SQL Packager, SQL Doc, and SQL Data Generator. The sqlCI.exe tool, the TeamCity plugin, and the build scripts are provided free, however, they call the Red Gate tools listed above which require a license.
How do I license it?
It depends on how you're using the integration tools. For more information on using the Automation License, this Support article may help answer your questions
To find out about continuous integration for your database, have a look at our whitepapers below.

Cannaregio is possibly the quietest, most enigmatic and authentic of the six sestieri into which the city of Venice is divided: San Marco, San Polo, Santa Croce, Dorsoduro, Castello and Cannaregio. The Eurostars Residenza Cannaregio is located in one of the most peaceful neighbourhoods, where many Venetians who still reside in this part of La Serenissima live. Here, in this corner of Cannaregio, it is worth getting lost as you walk about, carried away by the unique beauty of the city and then sitting to rest in one of the numerous bars so popular among Venetians to savour a spritz, a caffè corretto or a glass of prosecco mid-afternoon.
The Eurostars Residenza Cannaregio is very close to the Jewish quarter. From the residenza Cannaregio you can reach the Ponte Rialto in a 15-minute walk. Piazza San Marco is a 25-minute walk from the residenza, although you can reach it more quickly in a vaporetto or taxi.
The Residenza Cannaregio is perfectly located for you to get to know the majestic islands in the Venice lagoon: Murano glass, the colourful houses on Burano, the faraway Torcello... The vaporetti on the islands set sail from the nearby Sant'Alvise wharf.

Machine Screws, also referred to as Machine Bolts, are often used with nuts or driven into tapped holes. They come in a variety of head types and drive styles, but are generally available in smaller sizes.
Steels are designated by a 4 number SAE Steel grade. The first two digits indicate the primary materials used to form the steel. The last 2 digits identify the percentage of carbon for the alloy (in hundredths). The steel used in these fasteners has a tensile strength ranging from 100,000 to 150,000 psi (pounds per square inch). Zinc Plating helps to prevent corrosion.
Pan head fasteners have a low, large cylindrical head with a high rounded top edge for higher tightening torques - these fasteners are often recommended to replace older head styles such as round, binding, or truss-head where possible. The Phillips drive style was originally designed so that the driver would slip out under extreme torque, preventing over-tightening and damage to the fastener or the material.
A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter (in millimeters), followed by the thread pitch (millimeters per thread), which indicates if it is coarse or fine.

Jury convicts former Assistant District Attorney Michael Donohue of fleeing accident scene
MEDIA COURTHOUSE — Sheriffs led former Delaware County Assistant District Attorney Michael Donohue from Courtroom No. 5 in handcuffs Monday evening after a jury found him guilty of fleeing the scene of an accident involving personal injury.
The charges stem from a Nov. 14, 2011, incident in which Donohue, 32, struck a 14-year-old Havertown boy on Township Line Road near Bryan Street in Upper Darby. Donohue had been at Sligo, a pub in Media, for several hours before the crash, and the prosecution had tried to prove he was drunk at the time he struck victim Jake Vantrieste of Haverford and fled the scene. Vantrieste suffered two pelvic fractures, as well as head injuries.
During questioning, Vantrieste said he had been smoking marijuana before he tried to cross Township Line Road on his skateboard. He added that he was wearing headphones and a hooded sweatshirt at the time.
Several of Donohue's colleagues also testified about his activities prior to the accident. He opened two tabs at the bar between 4:30 and 8:30 p.m., and ordered nine Guinness beers, some of which were drunk by his friends. One of his colleagues drove with Donohue after leaving the bar, and said on the witness stand that he never would have gotten into a car with him if he thought Donohue was drunk.
Visiting Senior Judge John L. Braxton of Philadelphia, who presided over the case, had acquitted Donohue of more serious aggravated assault and driving under the influence charges Friday, after Senior Deputy Attorney General Joseph McGettigan rested the commonwealth's case.
The jury of seven men and five women deliberated for about four and a half hours Monday afternoon following closing arguments. McGettigan concluded his summation with a charge to the jury to hold Donohue accountable for his actions.
"The time for responsibility has come," he said.
McGettigan was brought in to prosecute because of Donohue's former position in the district attorney's office, from which he resigned prior to turning himself in about a week after the crash.
After the jury was dismissed, McGettigan moved that Donohue be remanded to county prison to await sentencing, which defense attorney Mark Much opposed. Much said Donohue was not a flight risk, noting he had served as a public defender and a prosecutor since 2005 and he had never been in trouble with the law before. He had been free on 10 percent of $25,000 since shortly after his arrest.
McGettigan used harsh language to describe Donohue's acts on the night in question. Continued...
"The defendant fled the scene of this accident," McGettigan said. "His behavior reeks of dishonor, shamefulness and cowardice."
Much argued his bail should remain the same and he be allowed to go home with electronic monitoring.
"He has no reason to flee. He won," Much said. "There is no risk of flight."
Braxton raised Donohue's bail to $100,000 cash, and the sheriffs took him away. A presentencing hearing is scheduled for Dec. 20.
The charge of hit and run with bodily injury is a misdemeanor offense because it did not involve serious bodily injury, according to the jury's verdict. Braxton also made guilty judgments against Donohue on four summary charges.
