Are there any spring-blooming shrubs with as much tradition, as many memories attached as the fragrant-flowered lilac? When you drive through the country, you can see lilac shrubs blooming around tumbled down old porch steps. You'll sometimes see lilacs standing at either side of old cemetery gates. But the lilacs we have at Shrub Source aren't your grandma's lilacs. They are re-bloomers, compact-growers, and more resistant to problems that plague older varieties. Here are our new favorite fragrant flowering shrubs.
Bloomerang® Purple Lilac (Syringa)
Bloomerang® Purple Syringa is a compact blooming shrub reaching a mature height of 4-5 feet and spread of 5-6 feet. The shrubs are covered with flowers in the early spring, but the plant re-blooms in the summer and keeps blooming until frost. They're hardy in zones 3-7 and are resistant to powdery mildew and root rot.
Bloomerang® Dark Purple Lilac
This deer-resistant re-blooming lilac starts the show in early spring with tightly-closed plum purple flower buds that open to fragrant flowers beloved by butterflies and hummingbirds. Keep these shrubs looking their best by giving them a light pruning after they bloom. Fertilize after the spring bloom to encourage reblooming later in the summer.
Scent and Scensibilty™ Pink Lilac
A truly unique lilac, Scent and Scensibilty™ Pink Syringa, has a compact, mounding growth habit with a height of 2-3 feet and a spread of 4-6 feet. It grows best in full sun in moist, well-drained soil. It will re bloom sporadically throughout the summer, but not as reliably as the Bloomerang® lilacs.
Lilac Care and Maintenance
If you have older lilacs, the way to keep them blooming beautifully is through renewal pruning. This is the practice of removing one third of the old growth back to the ground each year.
Keeping lilacs pruned helps promote airflow and reduces problems with powdery mildew.
Newer varieties benefit from light pruning for shape after the spring bloom and application of a liquid fertilizer. Always plant in full sun and well-drained soils to avoid problems with root rot.
Deadhead (remove spent flowers after bloom) to encourage re-blooming.
Still grows the vivacious lilac a generation after the door and lintel and the sill are gone, unfolding its sweet-scented flowers each spring, to be plucked by the musing traveller; planted and tended once by children's hands, in front-yard plots,--now standing by wall-sides in retired pastures, and giving place to new-rising forests;Mthe last of that stirp, sole survivor of that family.
~Henry David Thoreau

uhhh, what an ugly linux DE.
- video ugly,
- the linux appearance ugly
- video less then non-informative
woder what DE they were using that i looked so ugly.
anyhow, a bad made video and at least the claim of the most beautifull linux is already a damn big lie. beside of this there was nothing else to see.
they would have done a better marketing not showing this video. at least then i could have been curious enough to give it try. now i most probably won't.

Guys guys, all the complaining when we can use all the help and support for Linux.

Some examples what has happened to me in the past:
there was an update for grub, update went wrong and couldn't boot.
there was an update for gpg keys (not sure what it was, but had something to do with gpg keys), and apt was refusing to install/remove/update anything.
The point is, these things shouldn't happen, ever.
I have been using Windows in the past for so long, and I don't remember a single time where my bootloader (or windows update software) got crapped because of a system update.
I'd also like to mention, I've been using Windows for far longer than I have been using any GNU/Linux distributions.
I'm not exactly "new" to GNU/Linux either, I've been using it exclusively as my Desktop for well over a year now, and around two years as a Server.
I know you will probably argue that I should use Debian stable, but that wont cut it for me.
Debian stable - too old software.
Debian stable with backports - too much hassle.
Debian testing (using it as we speak) - pretty good, some packages stay buggy for a long time though.
Debian unstable - also pretty good, but updates break packages more frequently.
I think the design of the package managers on GNU/Linux systems is the main problem here (at least with apt and yum).
One thing that bothers me most, is not being able to install multiple versions of the same software using the package manager.
Yes, I could compile it from source (which I do now and then), but that just proves that the package manager has a flaw, if you have to work around the problem.
One promising package manager seems to be Nix, you can install multiple versions of software, undo any updates/etc. . It's purely functional, that means, it wont ever modify existing packages, new packages and old packages live side-by-side.
NixOS is a distribution that uses the Nix package manager, but I don't think it's ready for everyday use just yet.
One more thing I'd like to add, I wouldn't be using GNU/Linux if I wouldn't like it , it just has some flaws that need fixing (for Desktops, at least).

Implementing Basic Java Application Classes for a BlackBerry App
Your BlackBerry application starts off from a blank slate. The Java Development Environment (JDE) creates an empty workspace, and you will add a project and Java source files. You need to implement subclasses of some basic BlackBerry library classes to create a full-fledged application:
net.rim.device.api.ui.UiApplication: This is your application class, which is the overseer of your BlackBerry application's contents. You'll usually implement a main method within this class as well.
net.rim.device.api.ui.container.MainScreen: Your BlackBerry application shows several screens of information to users. You subclass MainScreen to provide a basic display for them to see.
net.rim.device.api.ui.MenuItem: Users expect to perform some navigation by using menus, and you support their expectations by creating subclasses of MenuItem to provide menu-selection functionality. Your BlackBerry application can do this inline by creating a new MenuItem object and adding specific methods to the object during its creation. Note that if you're making the same MenuItem over and over, you should seriously think about creating a real subclass for it.
net.rim.device.api.ui.Manager: This class is useful when you want to lay out the components of a MainScreen subclass in a specific, controlled formation. MainScreen comes with a particular Manager subclass — VerticalFieldManager — as default. But it's pretty vanilla-boring, so you might want to think about creating your own.
net.rim.device.api.system.Persistable: Your BlackBerry application will very likely be storing users' data, and this is the interface that you need to implement in your classes that store the data in a PersistentStore.
java.lang.Thread, Runnable: You have to subclass these in certain situations where your BlackBerry application performs some long-duration operation, such as trading information with a network service or communicating via a Bluetooth peripheral. In addition, certain classes you provide to the BlackBerry OS, such as MenuItem, incorporate threaded behavior as part of their operation. MenuItem requires you to implement a run() method, which is launched as a separate Thread when the user selects your MenuItem.

WASHINGTON - The asteroid that will hurtle past Earth this week at eight times the speed of a bullet is being viewed by a group of former astronauts as more than a celestial curiosity. It's a warning shot from the heavens.
The asteroid, DA14, was discovered by a Spanish dental surgeon and space enthusiast using a high-end camera. The rock will pass within 17,000 miles of Earth on Friday, closer than the moon and many orbiting satellites. Half the size of a football field, it is the closest recorded approach of an object of its size.
'This asteroid is a reminder that we live in a shooting gallery,' former Apollo astronaut Rusty Schweickart said in an interview. 'We don't think it's a good idea to put off protecting life on Earth.'
Click here for an indepth look at the asteroid buzzing Earth on Friday.
Schweickart is a founder of the nonprofit B612, which is trying to raise $400 million to launch a telescope into Venus' orbit to find space objects that could collide with Earth. So far, B612 has teamed with NASA and raised 'several million dollars' from donors such as Steve Krausz, a general partner at U.S. Venture Partners; James Leszczenski, engineering manager for Facebook; and Shervin Pishevar, managing partner of Menlo Partners.
Groups such as B612, which drew its name from the asteroid home of the Little Prince in the 1943 children's book, are moving into an area once dominated by NASA and other government agencies, as tight budgets and the proliferation of computing and rocket technologies open space to a wider range of participants.
'They are doing what NASA isn't,' Humberto Campins, planetary science professor at the University of Central Florida, said in an interview. 'NASA is doing a lot, but it could be doing more.'
Other entrepreneurs are participating in the new space race, some with an eye on profit. Robert Bigelow, a Las Vegas hotelier, won a $17.8 million contract for an inflatable room that will be attached to the space station. Boeing, Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk and British entrepreneur Richard Branson have started rocket-building ventures.
Planetary Resources, based in Seattle and backed by Google CEO Larry Page and Chairman Eric Schmidt, is working to launch a telescopic space surveyor to identify resource-rich space rocks.
Space 'is no longer the reserve of governments and a few astronauts,' said Schweickart, who was part of the Apollo 9 mission in 1969. Also involved in B612 is Ed Lu, a former shuttle astronaut who spent 206 days in space.
NASA says it has found and mapped 1,310 of the largest, most dangerous 'near-Earth objects.' That total may be less than 10 percent of the number that exist. The agency says it welcomes the efforts of the proposed B612 telescope, the Sentinel.
'Observation data from Sentinel, combined with observations from other sources, could greatly enhance our knowledge of potentially hazardous' objects, Dwayne Brown, a NASA spokesman, said in an email. 'We look forward to a beneficial collaboration as the Sentinel mission takes shape.'
Last June NASA signed an agreement with B612 to help its orbit calculation and communication networks. NASA said it also plans to appoint an independent science team to analyze the data provided by Sentinel.
If an asteroid is found to be on course to hit Earth, it can be deflected with a spacecraft or hit with lasers to gassify some of the rock and change its course, Schweickart said. The Tempel 1 comet was hit by an 800-pound NASA probe fired by a spacecraft in 2005.
The European Space Agency is working with Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory on a decade-long project on how to intercept and deflect a large asteroid, according to Andy Cheng, the lead scientist on the project.
'You have to do something pretty spectacular to move it,' Cheng said in an interview. 'These are mountain-size objects.'
While NASA has been researching the largest asteroids since 1998, B612 started its effort last year to discover and track asteroids that are smaller in size, but could still wreak havoc. Ball Aerospace & Technologies signed a contract to build an infrared space telescope, which will be launched into Venus' orbit in 2018 by SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, according to Schweickart.
DA14 was discovered in February last year by a group of amateur astronomers at La Sagra Observatory in southern Spain, not at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is now tracking DA14. Jaime Nomen, a dental surgeon who dabbled in astronomy, said his group bought a high-powered telescopic camera and software with the help of a $7,695 grant in 2010 from the Planetary Society, a group founded in 1980 by Carl Sagan to promote space exploration.
It used that equipment to photograph DA14 as it shot close to Earth a year ago. The discovery was categorized while his team was on a sailboat off the coast of Spain, analyzing the images with the help of the on-shore wireless signal, he said in a podcast dated Feb. 4.
'We are trying to fill a niche that's not being met elsewhere,' Bruce Betts, director of projects at the Planetary Society in Pasadena, Calif., said in an interview. 'Most of what we focus on is follow-up,' tracking the flight of asteroids NASA had discovered.
There is no chance DA14 will hit Earth, according to NASA. The prospects of colliding with a communications satellite as its passes their orbit is 'very small,' given the relative size of the asteroid to the 20 quadrillion square meters of space at their altitude, according to Mary Urquhart, head of the Science and Mathematics Education department at the University of Texas at Dallas.
The damage from DA14 if it were to hit the Earth would rival the asteroid that slammed into Russia in 1908 and leveled millions of trees over 820 square miles. The asteroid that scientists say wiped out the dinosaurs was about 10 kilometers in diameter.
'One of these days there will be an object heading towards us,' Cheng said. 'Let's hope we know what to do about it.'

Now that AMR Corporation, parent company of American Airlines and American Eagle, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, should you cash in your tickets and use up those frequent flier points?
No, according to Bijan Vasigh, Professor of Airline Finance at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. But there is other potential fallout.
"Bankruptcy is a bit of a misnomer," he says. "This is Chapter 11, which means restructuring. During the restructuring period, the airline will have protection from the court and can reduce its cost structure in order to move out of bankruptcy."
So travelers shouldn't notice a difference, at least for the time being. "American Airlines and American Eagle are operating normal flight schedules today," said the airline in a statement. Reservations, customer service and "all other operations are conducting business as usual." The airline says it expects that to continue.
Your miles should be safe too, says Vasigh, based on the Chapter 11 experiences of other airlines. "Since airlines are competing on passenger loyalty, I don't see much change happening."
So who is likely to be hurt? "The whole objective of the Chapter 11 is to look at cost structures and negotiate with creditors and labor," says Vasigh. "Some airports that are not profitable will lose services or at least frequency of services."
American's employees aren't likely to be happy either. Under Chapter 11, other airlines have been able to negotiate significant concessions with labor unions.
American was unique among "legacy" airlines in the US (major carriers around since the industry was deregulated in 1978) in not having declared bankruptcy. Delta, United and US Airways all filed for Chapter 11 in the last decade. In fact, US Airways, Delta and Continental have all been through it twice. Vasigh calls Chapter 11 "very regular in the airline industry."
"The announcement of the bankruptcy wasn't really surprising," concurs Jun Li, who studies the airline industry as a doctoral candidate in the Department of Operations and Information Management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. "Mergers of other airlines [particularly Delta with Northwest and United with Continental] put American Airlines in a much worse situation than before." AMR filed for Chapter 11 this morning in New York.
Vasigh says that this leaves Southwest Airlines as the only pre-deregulation carrier not to have declared bankruptcy, but he puts Southwest in a different category since it has always focused on low-cost operations.

Then you have to tell the interviewer that managing people is exactly what you like to do; and it is what you do best. Make up a couple of stories about when you helped someone confront a difficult problem at work. It can be fiction. Make up two stories. When you get to the interview, you have to lean forward and emphasize that managing people is one of your strengths. The fact is, I went on to tell him, we become the people we pretend to be. Being definite is, in fact, one element of being a good manager.
More: Doing Well on a Job Interview | Psychology Today
On one hand, Cambridge Dictionary Online says that definite means clear or fixed. Besides, it can be used before a noun. On the other hand, Merriam Webster says that there is another meaning for definite which is different from what has been mentioned in Cambridge Dictionary but it doesnt come before a noun. In a nutshell, definite in the given context doesnt precede a noun as a result I think that I should pick out confident, shouldnt I?
Probably 'decisive' is better here.

Skills, Drills and Grinning Affect Track Athletes
It was back to basics for the Canadian track athletes in LA as they tested their skills by doing some drills. "We would weave around (the cones) as smooth as possible, then next time around we weaved around the cones with one hand on the bar, then with one foot pedaling, and even one hand one foot! To finish it off we did some track stands high up on the track to see who had the best balance, with the losers having to do pushups," commented Tim Sherstobitoff who enjoyed the fun and entertained the coaches with the facial expressions that resulted from his concentration.
Julia Bradley also enjoyed the session and the laughs that it brought on, but there was more work to be done. "We worked on pacing for Team Pursuit - not too fast, not too slow, just right was the order of the day … It's also really nice to see a couple young women at the camp mixing it up with the rest of the team. This is the third training camp that I've been to in LA over the last 3 months and it is very motivating to feel myself improving and moving forward and to see the other riders on the team doing the same."
Jacob Schwingboth
When the following tune is being sung in the Home Depot Centre - "When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie..." it can mean only one thing, Jacob Schwingboth is in the house, and once again, he has failed to learn the lyrics to any other song. He was, however, able to hold the exact pace time that was set for each lap while grinning ear to ear, but "It was hard … to bring it in and hold the same speed. The tendency was to bring it up too quickly. But toward the end of the session it looks like everyone one was settling in and was able to find the right pace … We also (did some drills) to get used to moving around the pack in close quarters. Being efficient in the pack is a great skill, because in most races it's not the strongest rider that walks away with a win."
The athletes have been working on their training as well as on their recovery. Tim partnered with Daniele Defranceschi for a daily ritual to keep their legs fresh and flushed, "the night before (training) I fill up any container I can find with water and put it in the freezer. When we get back to the hotel after our track day I fill up my bathtub with cold water and load it up with ice, and Danieli next door fills his tub up with hot water, and sometimes bubbles for added effect … and alternate 5 minutes in each tub. 3 times in the cold usually does the trick to help the legs recover."
Conan Cooper attended the camp as a development coaching opportunity and did his best to survive Jacob's singing. "This has been a great experience for me. It seems little known that coaches develop right alongside athletes, and opportunities provided by camps like this are exactly what we need in Canada to build a tier of coaches working with our top junior and elite athletes back in their home towns. Heading back to Calgary, I'm about to start up a new junior development program on the track, looking to build our seen and unseen talent form Alberta. My experience working with (CCA Staff) Richard Wooles, Tanya Dubnicoff, and John Evans is a measure for myself, and invaluable when I work solo back home. I'm excited again about the future for track cycling in Canada."
Any athlete or coach who would like to become more involved in the Canadian Cycling Association program is encouraged to contact Petrina at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hi all,
If I remember correctly, on my much older Arch installation on this computer I installed VLC and it came with a plugin for mozilla/firefox. Now the plugin doesn't seem to exist... Before it worked with me just doing a
pacman -S vlc
From my Gentoo days, I remember that there was a USE flag for this. USE="mozilla". I kinda remember that for a plugin to be created/compiled you actually need the mozilla headers which I don't think come with firefox
(needless to say, mozilla is not installed as the latest GNOME package only installs firefox now (and thats a GOOD thing!)
Any help/suggestions?
There is no spoon in Arch...
AFAIK all the stuff needed for compiling mozilla-dependant software was moved to the firefox package.
Right... I wonder whats happened to the plugin then? Cause I could have sworn that it worked.
Can anyone confirm this?
I'm using gxine for the time being, for the plugin
There is no spoon in Arch...
You ought to recompile vlc with --enable-mozilla to make it work. Mozilla plugin is by default disabled in vlc configure scripts and isn't implicitly enabled in default vlc PKGBUILD. Go ABS :-)
Arch ships the mplayer-plugin now, if you wanna have an out of the box
working browser plugin.
Or mozplugger, if we're talking about other multimedia plugins ;-)
I've decided to go with mplayer and it's plugin just for watching media-enabled sites, and I keep both totem and vlc around though I prefer totem for some unexplainable reason :?
I like how the media front is working on linux now. I can actually watch almost everything I want to on the internet now!
Thanks for the advice all
There is no spoon in Arch...
btw, dumb question.. where do I find the respective PKGBUILD's... I thought I read that they are in /var/cache/pacman/pkg but I can't see them unless I'm being stupid
There is no spoon in Arch...
As root, run abs. Then the PKGBUILD are in /var/abs
cheers Snowman. I was going to wait till after my exams to look into ABS. Didn't realise that it was needed to see the PKGBUILDs... Lesson learnt
There is no spoon in Arch...
You can also get them from the Arch CVS: http://www.archlinux.org/cvs.php It also has the old versions.
Thanks again! I'll have a quick look at ABS and check how to recompile VLC with the mozilla option enabled
There is no spoon in Arch...
I have yet another question: since I have actually just realised that the --enable-mozilla option is not in the PKGBUILD for VLC, should I submit a bug report for this as I feel its a good addition? Or is there another place to submit package recommendations?
There is no spoon in Arch...
You can submit a but report. Just use the Low/Feature request Severity. You can also contact the maintainer.
I just submitted it as a feature request. here's to hoping!
There is no spoon in Arch...

SPRINGVALE — Members of the Southern Maine Garden Club welcomed floral designer Brenda Boyle to their meeting at the Springvale Public Library on Nov. 7.
Boyle, of Studley Flower Gardens, Inc., in Rochester, New Hampshire, is a certified floral designer in that state.
During her presentation, Boyle created four different arrangements: two separate wreaths, a Thanksgiving wreath, and a Christmas one, each filled with various greens from her garden — boxwood, white pine, hemlock and arborvitae, to name a few. Using the various greens for such wreaths adds texture and scent, according to Boyle. She suggested changing out the ribbons and adding pine cones and Christmas ornaments.
Next, Boyle made a Christmas terrarium that held a tiny real mixed green Christmas tree that she created using Oasis and mixed greens along with miniature ornaments. The snow was made from Snow Real, a decorative product that gives you instant snow — just mix a tablespoon with a quart of water, and voila! Boyle added a tiny deer to the terrarium and received lots of "ooohhhs" and "aaahhhs" from the audience. She also made a holiday arrangement of red roses, baby's breath, greens, ribbon and gold Christmas bulbs.
After her demonstrations, her finished designs were raffled off and four lucky club members were able to jump-start their holiday decorating.
The Southern Maine garden Club meets at Springvale Public Library at 443 Main Street on the third Wednesday of every month at 6:45 p.m. (The club met earlier this month, however, due to the Thanksgiving holiday.) The public is invited to attend all meeting.
The club will hold a holiday party at a member's home in December, but will not meet in January or February. The club's next meeting will be on March 20.
For more information, call Sheryl Rothstein at 490-7147 or Donna Claveau at 603-332-4860.

The Steve Jobs biopic called "jOBS" starring Ashton Kutcher is premiering next week at the Sundance Film Festival.
We've now seen several photos of Kutcher starring as Jobs, but the USA Today just published a couple of photos of Josh Gad as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak alongside Kutcher.
We first saw them over on The Verge.
Gad told Bryan Alexander of USA Today that he studied "literally hundreds" of hours worth of Wozniak footage.
"This was definitely outside my wheelhouse," Gad said. "I felt like I was going to college."
Regarding Kutcher's role as Jobs, Gad said "there is an eerie resemblance."

Venezuela honors fallen leader Chavez at funeral
Crowds and world leaders come together to remember and mourn Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. VPC
Nicolas Maduro, vice president under Chavez, sworn in as interim president.
CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan Vice President Nicolas Maduro called on his countrymen to continue Hugo Chávez's fight for justice and equality in his eulogy Friday for the fallen president who died this week after a two-year battle with cancer.
Maduro, his voice often clouding with emotion, said Chávez will continue to guide the country thanks to the principles outlined in the 1999 constitution he authored, as well as the platform he produced before last year's presidential election.
"Mission accomplished, Comandante Presidente!" Maduro shouted at the end of his 30-minute eulogy. "The struggle continues! Chávez lives! Always fighting for victory, Comandante!"
Maduro was sworn in later Friday as Venezuela's interim president while elections are scheduled. He named Science and Technology Minister Jorge Arreaza, Chavez's son-in-law, as his vice president.
All television and radio stations were obliged to carry the ceremony live from the chapel at the military academy, where Chávez graduated as a cadet in 1975.
Posters of Chávez, 58, were hung in the chapel as world leaders — including Cuban President Raúl Castro and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — gathered with delegations from 55 countries represented.
Hundreds of thousands of mourners gathered outside the chapel, many clutching photos of Chávez or wearing red T-shirts emblazoned with his image. Others cried openly. Some traveled throughout the night from the country's far-flung states to honor their comandante.
"Chávez may be dead, but the revolution continues," said Alexander Ramos, 33, a lawyer. "We are here today for him, and for Vice President Maduro as well. The revolution must continue!"
VENEZUELA: Chávez remains to be on view indefinitely
Maduro was preceded by Jesse Jackson who offered a prayer for Chávez, including a plea for a reconciliation between the two countries.
Venezuela and the United States have often been at odds although the open animosity that erupted during the Bush years has since faded. Neither country is represented by an ambassador after tit-for-tat expulsions.
"We should move to a higher ground," Jackson said, noting that the two countries are trade partners and share a common love for baseball. "We are here today not because Hugo Chávez is dead but because he lives on."
Maduro seemed to heed Jackson's plea, noting the presence of the U.S. delegation that was led by U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., and former representative William Delahunt, a Democrat from Massachusetts. Maduro said ties between the two countries had to be based on "equality."
Outside the chapel, hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans waited, watching the proceedings via six huge television screens. The mood was somber and quiet, in marked contrast to the emotional outpouring that marked the earlier transfer of Chávez's body to the academy from the military hospital.
Street vendors did a brisk business selling mementos of Chávez along the streets leading up to the academy. Before the funeral, government officials had estimated that up to 2 million people would attend.
Throughout the ceremony, Chávez´s mother wept openly as family members tried to comfort her. Chávez's daughters sat to one side.
"The president breathed fresh life into the people. His legacy won't be contested. And Nicolas Maduro will be our president because this is what decided," Jose Antonio Aspera, 38, a worker in Chávez´s political party, said Friday at the ceremony. "We are going to have Chávez forever in a glass case, so he can accompany us in a future that he himself designed."
Maduro announced Thursday that Chávez's remains will be specially embalmed and kept in a crystal coffin, so they can be on view indefinitely to inspire future generations.
Both Chávez and the country's founder, Simon Bolivar, were often not understood as they fought for freedom and equality, Maduro said.
"There has never been a Venezuela leader more vilified, more injured or attacked" than Chávez, Maduro claimed. Although elected president four times, Chávez was disliked by large segments of Venezuela's population because of his redistribution of wealth, close relations with Cuba and inability to solve the country's problems, such as crime and high inflation.
Maduro, who will probably face Miranda State Gov. Henrique Capriles Radonski in a vote as early as May, said Chávez wanted Venezuelans to fight hard to consolidate the country's independence and make it a regional power.
Members of Venezuela's opposition decried the decision to appoint Maduro as interim president, saying they would boycott Friday's swearing-in because it violated the constitution, which they claim stipulates that power should pass to the head of the national assembly in such instances until elections are held.
The Supreme Court ruled that Maduro should be sworn in and didn't have to step down while he mounted his presidential campaign. Radonski called the court's ruling "fraud."
"It's an effort to make sure that Maduro stays front and center as he continues his campaign," said Risa Grais-Targow, an analyst with Eurasia Group, who noted that the constitution is "fuzzy" on the issue.

CELEBRATING 35 YEARS OF CREATIVITY September 30, 2019Mark Schwartz With an eye for design, shoe designer and artist Mark Schwartz has transformed the way the world looks at shoes today...For over 35 years, Mr. Schwartz has produced unique and compelling designs of shoes, considered by him to be the most artistic and important accessory in a woman's wardrobe. His shoe designs have graced the runways of Paris, Milan and New York, as well as the pages of fashion publications such as Vogue, Elle and W Magazine.As a young man in the early 1980's, Mark Schwartz launched his shoe design career by assisting shoe design master Roger Vivier, and within two years Mr. Schwartz rose to become the creative director for Roger Vivier International. Mr. Schwartz aided with the design of many eclectic collections during his 7 years with the company. Roger Vivier introduced Mr. Schwartz to many of the influential players of the 1980's New York art scene, most importantly Andy Warhol, who mentored Schwartz until his death and was the one who urged Mr. Schwartz to paint his shoe designs. Schwartz and Warhol would meet two or three times a month to exchange ideas and talk about shoes and art. Warhol was a huge influence on Mark pushing him to come up with creative ways to do paintings that included shoes and leaving a strong artistic imprint that Schwartz still uses today in all of his work.An accomplished footwear designer and artist , Mr. Schwartz has designed shoes for Barney's, Bergdorf Goodman, Cleo Bottier, and Neiman Marcus. Mr. Schwartz has collaborated on design projects in the past with Balenciaga, Chanel, Gucci, and Jean Claude Jitrois, Ralph Lauren, Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, Christian Lacroix, Hermes and Bill Blass, Richard Tyler and Calvin Klein. He has made shoes for Oprah Winfrey, Madonna, Julia Roberts, Sharon Stone, Julia Louis - Dreyfus , Natasha Richardson, Tina Turner, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez , Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Wendy Williams.#markschwartzshoes,#style,#shoeaddict,#shoelover,#nyc,#parabiago,#jimmychoo,#manoloblahnik,#rogervivier,#louboutin,#andywarhol www.highheeledart.com

On the heels of his $100 million charitable donation to the Newark, New Jersey, public school system in September, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is making a pledge to give away a slightly larger portion of his substantial wealth.
Zuckerberg, along with fellow Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, have joined 14 other American billionaires in promising to give away at least half of their wealth, reports the Wall Street Journal.
The move comes as part of the so-called "Giving Pledge," an effort started by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Omaha investor Warren Buffett that encourages its signatories to make a public commitment to giving away the majority of their wealth. The movement is borne out of Buffett's idea that dynastic wealth is often wasted and should instead be devoted to philanthropic ends.
"People wait until late in their career to give back. But why wait when there is so much to be done?" Zuckerberg said in a statement.
"With a generation of younger folks who have thrived on the success of their companies, there is a big opportunity for many of us to give back earlier in our lifetime and see the impact of our philanthropic efforts," the statement continued.
Other new names include AOL co-founder Steve Case, financier Carl Icahn and former junk-bond king Michael Milken. They join George Lucas, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Oracle founder Larry Ellison who all previously announced their intention to take part in the effort.

Tagged: Greg Gibson
Just a Bit Inside
A few weeks ago, umpire Greg Gibson found himself on the wrong end of the following headline:
"Umpire Greg Gibson Took A Stephen Strasburg Fastball To The Crotch"
Which obviously begs the question, should Gibson now change his name, perhaps considering the following as an option?:
All kidding aside, umpires have a crappy job. Pretty much the only time anyone notices you is when you blow a perfect game or get nailed in the 'nads by a Strasburg steamer. With the advent of the home run review system, the job got even crappier. As radar guns and pitch monitors get ever better, it's probably only a matter of time before people start making noise about taking that responsibility away from the umps as well.
Today, though, on the day after Memorial Day, I just want to take a minute to salute the men in blue who put life, limb and the ability to procreate out there on the line everyday. Now, get yourself a pair of glasses, get back out there and try not to give this game away, too.

Operation: Gnomeregan quest chain
The subject of this article or section was part of Operation: Gnomeregan, a world event that heralded the recovery of the surface of Gnomeregan before Cataclysm.
|Operation: Gnomeregan
|Level range
Dun Morogh
The chain of quests around the Operation: Gnomeregan event. Any alliance character can complete all the quests except for the last two. You must be level 75 or higher to be able to complete the last two.
While these quests have prerequisites, it is less a narrative than a series of nearly independent tasks.
- 1 Operation: Gnomeregan
- 2 Rewards
- 3 Summary
- 4 Patch changes
Operation: Gnomeregan
On September 7, 2010 (September 8 for EU servers), alliance characters logging in received a message from Gelbin Mekkatorque:
Good Sir/Madame,
As a proud member of the Alliance, duty compels you to journey to Ironforge with haste and submit yourself to the will of High Tinker Mekkatorque, King of Gnomes.*
The end of our exile draws nigh - Operation: Gnomeregan is about to begin!**
* Lawyerbot 2000 informs me that I actually possess no legal authority whatsoever - over gnomes or otherwise - but still, you have to admit that sounded impressive!
** Seriously, please come help out if you can. Many thanks!
The new recruits
- [80] A Few Good Gnomes
When you visit High Tinker Mekkatorque in the Tinker Town part of Ironforge, he asks you to help with the recruiting of gnomes to bolster the forces preparing to assault Gnomeregan. He provides you with a [Motivate-a-Tron], which will give the gnomes the courage to enlist.
Seems awfully close to mind control to you, but you do motivate a fair number of citizens to help the war effort. You - and they - mount up and head out of Ironforge into Dun Morogh to Steelgrill's Depot, to enlist with Captain Tread Sparknozzle.
The captain is not terribly impressed with the recruits, but he has confidence in his (and his drill sergeant's) ability to turn even the most unpromising of recruits into seasoned pilots, engineers, and infantry.
- [80] Basic Orders
The captain sees that you are still interested in giving a hand, and directs you to Drill Sergeant Steamcrank for basic training.
You wander over, and after a few minutes you realize that "learning how to follow orders" is the lesson of the day. Probably a good lesson, given that he's working with the rawest of recruits, but with a lot fewer fangs and swords involved than those lessons you learned in Northrend. You realize that, for you, the challenge here is not in following the Drill Sergeant's orders, but rather not sniggering while you do so. And that, too, is a valuable lesson.
You show the captain that you've passed the Drill Sergeant's requirements.
Preparing for the assault
- At this point, both the captain, and Pilot Muzzlesprock have tasks they want you to do for them. You will need to complete both sets of tasks before moving on.
Testing the Mechs
- [80] In and Out
The captain is in charge of a unit of Gnomish Mechano-tanks that have yet to see full scale war. The mechanics have been tinkering with them, adding useful new features, and they all need to be tested. First off is the ejection seat. Too many gnomes have lost their lives trying to get out at the very last minute. This should help.
You go over to the mechano-tank in question and seat yourself. Knowing gnomish engineering, you realize that if something does go wrong, it is much less likely to simply explode, like goblin engineering efforts have. No, it might well be much, much more embarrassing. So with some trepidation, you push the eject button.
Waahoo-hooey! Much to your surprise, the ejection seat actually works! You are thrown some good distance in the air, and land a good bit behind the tank. You make a note that the ejection seat should perhaps not be used during retreats...
- [80] One Step Forward...
The captain is pleased with the ejection seat peformance, and has yet another round of testing for you to do.
This time, it's checking the leg servo functions. You work the right fore-leg several times. No problems. You work the left fore-leg ... and the right fore-leg moves instead. You repeat this several times. You walk the tank around a little, and the left legs seem to be working correctly. You even test the auto-evasion maneuvering system, which jumps the tank backwards a surprising distance for something that large.
You report back to the Captain about the results, and he makes a note of the left leg servo's behavior for later.
- [80] Press Fire
There's one more tank subsystem the Captain would like you to test out: the weapons system. For the test, the tank has been loaded with harmless pellets. It wouldn't do, after all, for the gun to blow up and scatter live rounds everywhere. Your task is to simply maneuver the tank to aim the gun at a target set up for the purpose, and fire several rounds.
You discover that the gun is fixed in position, and you have to turn the whole tank in order to aim the gun. As well, while you hit the target, pellets spray pretty much everywhere around the target as well. Not so good for concentrating fire, that.
The Captain is pleased, though. The spread pattern will make it easier to aim, and perhaps even catch more than single targets in burst.
Checking the radiation levels
- [80] Vent Horizon
Pilot Muzzlesprock has something entirely different for you to do. The forces have been waiting for radiation levels to go down around Gnomeregan, but that doesn't seem to be happening. Still, before the army can really commit to entering Gnomeregan, they need to know if they'll be able to live through the radiation down there.
Your task, is to take 'Thunderflash', Muzzlesprock's flying machine, and toss a set of [Radiageigatrons] into the ventilation shafts outside of Gnomeregan. These devices combine a radiation detector, with a transmitter, in an easy-to-throw hover-case. The hover-case deploys helicopter blades to increase the glide time of the radiageigatron, so you can throw it from a safe distance, without risking the flying machine's own support propellers.
The vents you are to throw the devices in are readily apparent ... by the plume of radioactive steam pouring from them. Easy targets. One, two, three, you're done and heading back to the barn.
Muzzlesprock has been monitoring the output from the radiageigatrons while you were still on your way back, and it's good news! The radiation levels are within the safety range of the infantry suits. The war can go on!
Motivation for the men
- [80] Prepping the Speech
While Pilot Muzzlesprock and Captain Sparknozzle are busy putting the final touches to the assault forces, Toby Zeigear has been working on a speech for Mekkatorque. He's got several drafts, but he needs an audience to tell him which ones work, and which ones are full of fail. You're not doing anything at the moment, so you volunteer to take his [projection unit] around and conduct a focus group.
You interview a few of the local Gnomish residents, and get various results. One script seemed entirely too weak, while a second was plain confusing. A third was ... tolerable, but could still use some last minute polishing.
- [80] Words for Delivery
With those reactions, Toby does pretty much what you expected he would do... pulls out yet a fourth speech. Maybe it has everything good from the others. Well, you hope it does. Toby asks you to deliver it to Captain Sparknozzle for him.
Under 75: Welcome to the Reserves!
Captain Sparknozzle thanks you for delivering this fantastic speech to him, and tells you about the strike team that he's got headed for Gnomeregan. You, though... you've done all he could possibly ask of you. He asks you to join the Gnomeregan Reserves. It doesn't pay well, but you get a snazzy helmet. Hang onto it, you might need it some day!
75 and over: Time to get to the battle!
The captain looks over the speech and is amazed. Time, he says, to get YOU out to the battle. (You still get the snazzy helmet, but in this case, you will get a chance to use it in combat!)
Cleaning up the town
- You are only offered these quests if you are level 75 or above.
- [75] Words for Delivery
Captain Sparknozzle directs you to take the speech to High Tinker Mekkatorque by the fastest means possible - it's the only thing he's waiting on before starting Operation: Gnomeregan. In this case the fastest means is 'Thunderflash', Pilot Muzzlesprock's air machine.
You hop aboard, and are whisked off to the southern end of the Gnomeregan surface area. There, you find High Tinker Mekkatorque waiting with the entire gnomish army.
- Note: This area is phased. Before having completed Operation: Gnomeregan, the gnomish forces and their foes will be here. After completing Operation: Gnomeregan, the area will return to normal, with leper gnomes and troggs infesting the area.
- [Gnomeregan Pride] - Reward for completing [80] Words for Delivery
- [Gnomeregan Drape] - Reward for completing [75] Operation: Gnomeregan. You are also awarded the Feat of Strength Achievement [Operation: Gnomeregan].
- [80] A Few Good Gnomes
- [80] Basic Orders
- Complete both of:
- Testing the spider mechs
- [80] In and Out
- [80] One Step Forward...
- [80] Press Fire
- [80] Vent Horizon
- Testing the spider mechs

Atwood Mobile Products LLC's high performance On-Demand Water Heater (ODWH) is now available to the RV industry, according to a press release.
Over the past several months, Elkhart, Ind.-based Atwood has placed On-Demand Water Heaters into retail consumers units for extensive real-world testing. These units were strategically located throughout the U.S. in order to expose them to a wide range of temperatures and conditions. Feedback from retail consumers using these test units has been "extremely positive," according to Atwood.
The Atwood ODWH is available in a 50,000 Btu model, which provides up to 50% more output than any other large production unit on the market today, the company said. The Atwood ODWH offers the heating power and technology necessary to provide the comfort and ease of use for a residential shower in the customers coach.
Exclusive to the Atwood ODWH is a modulation valve that senses the flow of incoming water that allows the unit to adjust the burner flame based on hot water demand. By eliminating the need for a tank, the ODWH offers a weight savings of up to 115 pounds and is energy efficient due to the fact that gas is consumed only when hot water is demanded. In addition, the Atwood ODWH can be installed in nearly any current water heater opening without any cutting or sidewall alterations.
The Atwood ODWH is available in the aftermarket through major distributors and to OEM customers. For more information visit www.atwoodmobile.com.

Using rrdtool to graph vmstat output - a worked example
nagger 100000MRSJ Comments (4) Visits (37126)
A large UK customer is running a series of tests on AIX and POWER7 machines and wanted to display the results on a webserver using rrdtool and needed help getting a working example running. So I stepped up to the challenge one night rather than it becoming a search for rrdtool skills inside IBM - when I could sort something out in a few hours. No one in IBM would claim to be a rrdtool expert until they knew the details of what was required. Many people know it well enough to get what they want done but would not put rrdtool guru on their CV.
rrdtool is a fantastically brilliant command to have in your toolbox. Up there with awk, grep, sed, Apache, ksh, and nmon (of course). It is used to save data in a fixed size "database", does cascade summation of older data to keep the data volume down, it can extract the data across any period and then it can quickly generate impressive .gif file graphs from the data - which are perfect for displaying on a webserver.
So the challenge: While the test runs for "some period" like an hour, save the vmstat data and then graph it.
Part one - create a suitable rrdtool database for the vmstat output
As a reminder this is what default vmstat output looks like on a current AIX version
$ vmstat 1 4I never notice before but there are two "sy" columns so here we use "sc" for the "sy" (system calls) column and leave sy for the system utilisation column. We are going to use the same column names as the vmstat command to make this easier to understand althouh that are very short. When we graph the stats we can spell out the stats full names.
Without using the power of rrdtool's to summarise data we are going to use a sledgehammer so just save 100,000 at a rate of one second data samples which is about 27 hours.
Here is the "rrdtool create" command:
rrdtool create vmstat.rrd --step 1 \
You can look at the rrdtool manual pages for the details but we are basically turning off all the fancy features.
Part two - saving vmstat output in rrdtool format
"rrdtool update" is used to put data into the database and adding one row of vmstat data need to look like this:
rrdtool update vmstat.rrd 1354The first number = 1354235156 is the number of seconds since the epoch i.e. 1st Jan 1970. Obvious really!! and the rest is a colon separated list of the stats from vmstat. Fortunately, the UNIX date command can get you that date in this seconds format using:
$ date +%sSo here is how you change vmstat data to rrdtool update commands for an hour (3600 seco
Awk is very good at this sort of thing:
Note: we need the start and end times for graphing, so we extract the right period of time from the database.
Part three - loading the data
We have the rrdtool commands in the vmstat.out file that we just created so just run the file through a Korn shell
Part four- generating the graph files
This does get a little tricky as thee are loads of options but here are a few worked examples.
First a simple graph of the Physical CPU consumed - this assumes we are talking about a Shared CPU virtual machine (logical partition):
See the graph below.
Here is a more complex graph as it is a stacked area graph of the four utilisation numbers:
More notes:
Part five - what you get is

43/100 #100daysofpaintingonpeetsbags
43/100 #100daysofpaintingonpeetsbags
This is the 43rd painting in my Peet's Coffee bag series for The 100 Day Project (#the100dayproject.org).
I have collected Peet's Coffee bags for over 10 years, and had originally intended to make a dress out of them. This project seemed like a great match as I had at least 100 "canvases" to work with.
This piece measures 11.5 x 12..25. It's mixed media - acrylic and paper collage on coffee bag (paper with plastic backing). It ships flat in a plastic sleeve with board backing. Signed and ready to frame. For questions about framing, email me before purchase.
NOTE: The coffee bag paintings are not perfectly square, and they proudly show the creases and wire fastenings of the authentic coffee bags they are.

It has been said that Family History Research, or Genealogy, is the second largest hobby (after stamp and coin
collecting). Everyone does have a family, and a curiosity about who has gone before us drives our quest to seek information on our ancestors. You begin by collecting the names, dates and places of your relatives'
births, marriages, deaths, and burials starting with the most recent generations and working your way back, one generation at a time.
Once you have talked with all the relatives, collected the birth, marriage, and death certificates, newspaper obituaries, and census records, you may feel
that you need professional help in order to further your research.
Powell Genealogical Services has been performing research in the western Pennsylvania area since 1990, and is quite familiar with the resources specific to
this area. We have helped clients with both large and small projects -- from finding just one obituary to finding a family who passed through western Pennsylvania to finding the heirs of an estate. Please click on Research for more information on researching in the western Pennsylvania region.
Does your society need a program? Please consult our Lectures page and contact us for further discussion about your programming needs.

Is it a Change ― or is it a Goof? Part 2
By Richard Firsten
Retired ESOL Teacher, Teacher-Trainer, Columnist, Author
In "Is it a Change ― or is it a Goof?" I dealt with the topic of recognizing whether some items are actual changes in the language or just mistakes made by people who don't know any better. I think this topic merits an additional look, and I hope you do, too.
Just to put some more perspective on this issue, let's showcase the words apron and umpire. If you had wanted to look those words up in a dictionary back, say, in 1200 (imagining that such a thing as a dictionary existed at that time), you wouldn't have found them listed under a and u respectively. They would have been listed under n. "Huh?" you say. Yep, both of them would have been under n. That's because something really odd ― but also funny ― happened to those words. When people speaking Middle English said those nouns with the indefinite article, after enough time had passed, the /n/, which was the first sound of those two nouns, migrated over to the indefinite article, so a napron became an apron, and a numpire (originally numpere) became an umpire. Ain't that a linguistic kick in the head! And that's the way those words changed. From a funny mistake said often enough, napron and numpire got transformed and became real lexical changes. That's accumulation of error at work, all right!
And it keeps happening. A rather recent example is livid. Its original meaning is "gray," or "ashen" in color. The original expression was livid with anger or livid with rage. In other words, if you felt that angry, your color would turn something like ashen. Well, you can see what happened without my telling you: the "… with anger" or "… with rage" parts got dropped, and livid has come to mean "very angry" or "furious." And that's okay. That's what happens to language.
But here's something that drives me slightly nuts. Almost everybody now says the media is rather than the media are. I talked about this in my first piece on this topic, when English speakers don't recognize any longer that the Latin and Greek neuter –a ending is really a plural. Well, so be it. If English speakers want to make that an acceptable change rather than just a goof, okay. But I think that if it's a real change, it should be consistent whenever used ― and in this case, it isn't. Read the following and think about whether or not you feel comfortable with it:
The horrendous earthquake that hit southwestern China and the terrible cyclone that hit Myanmar were well covered by television, but were they covered just as well by another media like radio?
"Another media." Are you comfortable with that? Wouldn't you probably opt for another medium? If your answer is yes, then we've got a troublesome inconsistency. On the one hand, you may go along with employing media as a singular collective noun (the media is), but on the other hand, you may feel you should say another medium instead of another media. That's not consistent. Maybe this is a change that's still in the process of taking place. Maybe that can explain the inconsistency.
And if that isn't enough to question how this word is used, even though with a completely different definition, read the following sentence, which I copied down verbatim from a television commercial for a language-teaching program ― of all things ― called "Rosetta Stone." This is the testimony given during the commercial by a satisfied customer: "I've used a lot of different mediums to learn a language, but …" Oh, my goodness! "A lot of different mediums"? Before I freaked out altogether, I ran to different dictionaries to check this out. Most said that when the meaning is a means of communicating or transmitting information, the "usual" plural is media. One dictionary, however, listed an alternative plural form as mediums. So I guess mediums isn't used anymore just to mean people who claim to communicate with the dead. I just keep shaking my head more and more when I come up against things like this. Is a real change going on? Is that why one dictionary I looked at mentioned that media is still the preferred plural form, but that mediums is okay, too? Maybe the jury's still out on this one. But being the kind of conservative speaker I am, I'll stick with television is a medium and television and radio are media. And as far as I'm concerned, Alison Dubois, who can see dead people, is a medium, and she suspects that her daughters are mediums, too!
So let me end by asking you how you'd categorize the following. Do you see them as changes, or do you see them as goofs? I'll let you know what I think later, so do feel free to comment. And what do you think about this whole issue? Let me know.
1. I think I'll lay down for half an hour. Wake me up at 6.
2. This paint goes on real easy. / She does her work quicker than most of my employees.
3. If he didn't move away from that tree, he would have been killed when the lightning struck.
4. "Do you know where's the main office?" "Sorry, I'm not sure where the office is at."
5. We utilize those logs in the fireplace during the winter to make the living room cozier.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (Blugolds.com) – The fifth-ranked UW-Eau Claire men's hockey team needed just one win in its final three games to earn at least a share of the NCHA title, and the Blugolds got that win tonight, defeating UW-River Falls 3-2 at Hobbs Ice Center.
With the win, the Blugolds earned their first conference title in school history. Eau Claire needs just a win or a tie in one of its final two games to win the title outright as St. Norbert College still has a chance to share the crown.
Additionally, the Blugolds earned the No. 1 seed in the NCHA's Peters Cup Playoffs, which includes a first round bye (Feb. 15-16). Eau Claire will host a semifinal match on Feb. 23 and, with a win that night, would host the championship March 2.
In tonight's game, the Blugolds jumped out to a 2-0 lead after Jordan Singer (Sr.-Lino Lakes, Minn./Centennial) scored the first goal in the first period, and Mark Pustin (Jr.-Northridge, Calif./Granada Hills) followed with a goal early in the second. But River Falls tied the game up at 2-2 by the end of the second period.
In the final period, Singer again found the back of the net at 5:42 for his 16th goal of the season and the Blugolds hung on for the win.
The Blugolds outshot the Falcons 42-28 and Brandon Stephenson (Sr.-Saline, Mich.) earned the win, playing the entire game and stopping 26 shots. He improved to 16-2-2 on the season, breaking a school record for most wins in a season. The previous record was 15, set by Tom Johnson during the 1982-83 season. He also increased his career wins mark to 42 which is also a school record.
Eau Claire improves to 18-3-2 on the season, currently on a six-game winning streak, and 13-2-1 in the NCHA. The 18 wins tie a school record for most victories in a season (also achieved in 1989-90). River Falls drops to 11-9-3 overall and 4-9-3 in the conference.
Next Friday, the Blugolds will be home again to face the College of St. Scholastica (Minn.). Action will get underway at 7 p.m. at Hobbs Ice Center. They will close the regular season Saturday at UW-Superior.

Heat wave ahead
Fireworks boomed, grills sizzled and bodies baked Thursday as Connecticut residents celebrated the birth of this nation.
This July 4 also may have given birth to the region's latest heat wave as temperatures Thursday approached 90 and the heat index, which combines temperature and humidity, reached 100. The high temperatures in the forecast prompted the National Weather Service to issue heat advisories in Hartford and New York City.
And it's only going to get hotter.
Forecasts call for the temperatures to hit the 90s Friday and linger there the next five days. Just three consecutive days of 90 degree temperatures constitute a heat wave.
And don't expect the nights to be much cooler.
Bill Jacquemin, a meterologist and head of the Connecticut Weather Center, is predicting muggy nights.
But after nearly two weeks of dreary overcast skies and dousing downpours, the first golden rays of sun persuaded residents to pull out their swimsuits, slip on flip-flops and head to the beach.
By 8:45 a.m. Thursday, parking places at Danbury's Squantz Pond were all taken. An hour later, the same was true for Sherwood Island, in Westport, and electronic signs on Interstate 95 warned would-be swimmers that the parking lot was filled.
