By Rick Houser –
They say that patience is a virtue. Never has this been any truer than many years ago when my son Brendan was six years old. We had recently moved to a new home near Bethel and had been remodeling the place. We made our driveway larger and created a large turn-around. At that time my wife and I were making several changes to our home and at the same time adjusting to the likes and dislikes of our two children.
One such like that came about was that Brendan had seen a basketball goal in a friend's driveway and asked if he could have one. This was a new "like" and his Mom said we would look into it and see if we could afford one. She and I talked about it and truthfully I was a little doubtful that Brendan would play with it very much as he was only six years old. Also, there was the cost and the labor of installing the goal and backboard. But as we talked about it my wife said, "I will price one and if I can find one at a reasonable cost I think we should get it." I agreed, thinking to myself that there probably was not going to be one in our price range.
A couple of weeks passed and I thought the subject had faded from thought until one evening my wife showed me a picture of a basketball rim that was in our price range and had an adjustable hoop and would lower to seven feet. The price was right and the unit would lower so Brendan could make use of it right away, so we ordered it and in a few days a big box arrived with a picture of a player dunking a basketball on the side of the box.
For a six-year old this created uncontrollable anticipation, but when we opened the box, inside was a pile of pieces and a set of instructions that in capital letters said "Some Assembly Required". It wasn't just some, it was all assembly required. I must say as Brendan danced for joy my heart sank because I am the world's worst at assembling anything.
I got out the instructions and sat Brendan down and explained that this was going to take a few days to build and he would have to be patient and not rush me or it would never get built. He was agreeable. He and I went to the hardware store and got a few bags of cement and then dug a hole at the end of the turn-around. I had Brendan bring me the first piece of pipe that was the base and we mixed up a bag of cement and carefully set that pole in the ground in the cement. Once it was set and adjusted to level, I told him we had done all we could until the next day. In no way did he understand nor want to stop so soon but I guess he remembered that he had to be patient and reluctantly agreed.
The next day arrived and Brendan urged me to get started since it was a nice day. We mixed up the other two bags of cement and I had Brendan bring me the other pieces of pipe and one piece at a time he handed them to me and I bolted them together. Then we filled the pipe with the cement so the pole wouldn't be weak or wobble. When we completed this I again had to tell him that we were done for that day. I could see a little frustration building, but he again agreed and spent many trips walking out to look at the pole.
The third day arrived and I didn't need any urging and we began early. Brendan, his Mom and I were all in attendance. (My daughter Meghan had no interest in sports and it was hot so she stayed inside). As we read the instructions and I encouraged Brendan to find and hand me the parts, we assembled the rim to the backboard and then mounted the backboard to the pole along with braces to hold it solid. It was looking great, but as we were finishing there was a spring missing from the box. The spring controlled the rim and the backboards' height. This was very important and my son knew it but didn't want to hear it.
On the instructions there was a phone number if we needed any parts. I called it and they said it would be sent ASAP. I explained that this was great as there was a six-year old about to explode and wanting to play. The very next morning the UPS truck arrived with a tiny package that contained the spring and miracle of miracles, it fit and the rim and the backboard worked perfectly.
Once it was working my son, with a basketball in his hands, cautiously asked if it was ready. We said, "Yes it is. Do you want to take the first shot?" Before the sentence was out the ball was in the air headed to the hoop. I don't recall if the basket was made or not on that first shot but he shot basketball until after dark and we finally had to make him stop. I figured he would tire of it after a few days but for the next 25 years he never tired. I have heard him shooting hoops at three in the morning many times.
I can't tell you how many nets and basketballs he wore out at that goal but he never got tired of it. I was so very wrong about that. When the goal finally gave out after all those years and shots , Brendan said, "You know, I feel like I lost a good friend." You know something, he did. It was safe to say that his patience those four days when he was six was a very real virtue. It was worth his wait for sure.

Things are different in Turks and Caicos. For one, everything is really expensive. I mean really expensive, nine dollars for a case of water, six dollars for a tiny bottle of honey, three dollars and fifty cents for one avocado. I know they have to import everything, but I still think there must have been a little price gouging going on at the Graceway IGA, though I can't be sure. I suppose I could have stopped in the "real cheap" grocery store tucked inside the industrial park, to test my theory, but I didn't think the family, all cozy in what passes for a minivan on TCI, was up for a side trip.
Speaking of our ride, which truly needed pimping, the steering wheel was on the wrong side, unless you're from Turks and Caicos, which then would make it on the right side. Apparently, this is convenient for driving on the left side, which is all terribly confusing the first few times you drive, especially when navigating traffic circles, or roundabouts as the locals like to say. Seat belts are also a bit different in that they don't retract and lap belts are still a thing, or maybe just a thing in the twenty year old "minivan" we were driving. Who can be sure? I thought I would be able to look in someone else's rental car to check out their seatbelt situation, since we were instructed to leave all the windows down and the car unlocked every time we parked, but no one else seemed to follow this rule, leaving us to wonder if this was really a rule, or if someone at the local car rental agency was just messing with us.
Belongers (yes, that's really what the people of Turks and Caicos are called) don't seem to have the same fear of pesticides that we do, or, at least, I do. When a trail of ants appeared on our counters we called the front desk in the hope that some bait would be laid down, and voila, the ants would disappear by morning. Instead, housekeeping showed up with a nondescript spray bottle, ready to fumigate the hell out of our unit. I politely declined, recounting my old days in Florida, where ants ruled the scene. It was while living there that my pediatrician posed the question, rather rudely, I might add, "Would you rather live with a few ants, or poison your child?"
After sending housekeeping away, ten minutes later, the maintenance man showed up with some traps from 1979, that even the ants avoided at all costs. I decided to embrace the ants as our friends.
Belongers, unlike Americans, don't make a big deal about trivial things, like finding poop in the pool. When said poop was discovered, maintenance was called, came out, looked at it with disgust, and walked away, which I guess is island protocol when dealing with these kinds of inconveniences, squashing the assumption that poop in the pool is an actual problem that needs to be solved. Only after a repeated phone call to the front desk, informing them, that in fact, the poop was still in the pool, did someone begrudgingly come out and fish that sucker out. Close the pool, why bother? First the ants and now the poop? I could almost hear them thinking, Americans are soft.
This island nonchalance, not to be mistaken with rudeness, because in fact, no one was rude, or in a rush, or overly chatty, or overly concerned about anything (see above poop paragraph), left me with the impression that they thought it was I who was a bit too anal. When asking about food allergies:
Me: Does the pancake mix contain any nuts or sesame? (Just for the record, some, like Krusteaz do.)
Island Lady: No, they just mix in some eggs and milk.
Me: So, there's a mix? Do you have a box I could read?
Island Lady: (Hesitates) No. We threw it out.
Me: But you know it doesn't contain nuts.
Island Lady: (Shrugs. Not an I don't know shrug, but you're boring me kind of shrug.)
Me: Ok, we'll stick with the oatmeal.
When renting snorkeling equipment:
Me: (sounding fussy and overprivileged by just asking the question) Do you sanitize this stuff?
Island Lady: (sounding mildly bored) No one's every come back and told me they got sick.
Do you notice a pattern (besides the fact that my family waits for me to ask all the obvious questions)? Not only are Belongers nonchalant about everything, but no one ever answers a question. I don't know if this is genius or subterfuge.
Regardless, I took my equipment upstairs to my room and washed it, but my children put her methods to the test, since they popped their breathing tubes in their mouths within seconds of it being handed to them. To her credit, no one's gotten sick, yet. Maybe I do need to relax.
The airport is quite different in Turks and Caicos, too. Why bother with order, or speed for that matter? Airline paperwork already informs everyone that they need to be at the airport at least two hours before their flight. Why not make use of that time? Sitting in an air-conditioned space waiting to be called to your unnumbered gate is a waste of time, and sitting too much causes early death (hasn't anyone been reading the news?), so the Belongers are actually doing you a favor.
The fact that some people can bypass these silly little lines of sweaty, sunburned, annoyed (and annoying) people by finding just the right valet, or feigning illness (as was the case with the lady, who I sat with on the plane, who magically perked up by the end of our flight), the rest of us sheep can try, like we did, prepared with the Benjamin's to get out of that miserable line, but if you are unlucky enough to be followed by the really pissed off guy who raises holy hell that your attempting to pay someone off to cut the line, well, then you're screwed. If this happens, you will spend the rest of your day and flight scowling at that red, freckled faced man, while he stares right back, ready to throw down if he so much as utters a word to you. Lines and heat are not a good combination.
Not that I think I'm above waiting in a line, but listen, I tried to check in at one of those kiosks, which along with the Belongers, don't operate the same as the do in the United States, and it wasn't having it. It checked my husband in, in row 22, in a seat by himself (like that's happening). It tried to put my children in an emergency exit row until I had to fess up that the kids were too young. The computer then booted me out and would only print one boarding pass, my husband's. That left my six year old, nine year old, and my eleven year old, who has food allergies, sitting alone on a plane where every meal and snack, from it's chex mix to its fruit tray and M&M's, contained nuts. I mean who the hell even knew there was such a thing as almond M&M's? I was not happy and so, willing to shovel out some cash to get to the front of that line in attempt to get our seats changed. That is until freckles butted in.
We just made it through the check-in line before we had to make a last minute rush through security, which would have never happened had I not been obsessively stalking the freckled face man, whom, in the end, I just have to add, I beat out of the check in counter. As we stood, in yet another ridiculously long line, I watched him cut the line and head right through security. I'd call him an ass for doing what he complained about us doing, but watching him was the only we way we found out that they had opened up a separate line for our flight because it was getting ready to board. Announcements, who needs them? If you're not in the know, and by not in the know, I mean minding your own business, then you're out of luck.
Once on the plane, which we had to hike to in the blazing heat, I expressed my concerns to the flight attendant, as instructed. Not a Belonger himself, and thus accustomed to some kind of rules, he was the first person ready to address my problems, which were his problems too, since in the end, the counter agent still sat two of my kids in the exit row, even though they couldn't be there. And work it out he did, for a lot of families, who were also scattered all over the plane, yet, I'm sure could have easily been sat together if there was just some sort of system. It would have been comical, watching the chaos that ensued, had I not had to live through it. In the end, though, the whole seating fiasco bought us an extra ten minutes on the runway, which was probably the only reason my luggage, tagged fifteen minutes before, made it on board. Maybe these islanders do have it all figured out.
Whew! Yes, that's how I felt when everyone was seated, me across the aisle from my nine year old son, in the last row of the plane, my food allergic child and daughter, with a doctor next to them, my husband behind them, next to another woman and her nut allergic child. I'd say given the circumstances, it couldn't have worked out any better. The best part, with all this other shit going down, I didn't even have time to indulge my fear of flying.
After reading this, you might get the impression that I had a miserable trip, but nothing could be further from the truth. It was a wonderful vacation on a beautiful island. But, when we returned to the United States, and walked directly from the plane into the brand new, desolate international terminal, muzak playing softly in the background, I was tempted to fall to my knees and kiss the ground. Things are different in the United States, and boy, am I grateful.

Men's Journal recently dubbed it one of America's best neighborhoods. The San Francisco Chapter of the Hells Angels is still there, and it may not be in your tourist guidebook. Nonetheless, the Dogpatch neighborhood is getting a lot of buzz lately. Where the heavy industry used to be, a burgeoning arts district and dining scene has popped up–particularly around the intersection of 22nd and 3rd. In 2003, the neighborhood was voted an official historic district of San Francisco–helped by the fact that it was relatively untouched by the 1906 earthquake and fire.
The Dogpatch is a nine square-block area below and to the East of Potrero Hill. More specifically, it's bounded by Mariposa Street to the North, Tubbs Street (23rd) to the South, Highway 280 to the West, and Illinois Street to the East. Part of its growth and popularity can certainly be attributed to its proximity to Potrero Hill, SOMA and downtown–and to the lightrail constructed a few years ago. Currently there is a lively debate regarding land-use issues, and worker's cottages and historic homes are being overshadowed by loft-style condos and the looming biotech industry. But never fear: its gritty, urban veneer is alive and well. So before you try to predict what will become of one of the last authentic neighborhoods in San Francisco, cruise around the Dogpatch for a handcrafted latte, a quaint Sunday brunch, or a sandwich at a pop-up lunch venue.
Piccino Coffee Bar: My favorite city is Paris. And on the rare San Francisco afternoon, strolling along a quiet side street, discovering a sweet little bakery or street-side flower shop, I'll have a "Paris" moment. I had such a moment recently while aimlessly walking around the Dogpatch listening to the new "Where the Wild Things Are" soundtrack (amazing) and marveling at the unusually hot temperature (like close neighbor Potrero Hill, the Dogpatch is often the sunniest, warmest spot in the city). The first thing to notice about Piccino Coffee Bar is its minimalism: it's essentially a coffee counter with a small but lovely selection of crumbly scones, biscotti, muffins, housemade yogurt, hardboiled farm-fresh eggs, and grab-and-go sandwiches. And of course, coffee–and Blue Bottle coffee, at that. There isn't any seating and they have a big front window that opens in the afternoons, releasing wafts of richly roasted coffee.
It's always really nice when you fall in love with a spot only to learn later that they're committed to using sustainable products and sourcing from local artisans whenever possible–and that they deeply care about their impact on the community. Such is the case with Piccino Coffee Bar. A few of the local vendors they use include Fatted Calf, Andante Diary, Prather Ranch, and Star Route Farms. The standout beverage? The mocha. And let me just say I'm really not a mocha kind of girl. As I enter my (gasp) 30's, I need the strong punch of black coffee in the morning–or sometimes I'll opt for the occasional Americano or latte. But a mocha always seems more like dessert, more frivolous than utilitarian. However, Piccino's isn't cloyingly sweet and still tastes of strong, bold espresso. So many other coffeehouses rely on chocolate made with added sugars and thickeners, but Piccino Coffee Bar uses a special Recchiuti chocolate blend specially designed for them. They actually hand melt it in your cup. Last time I checked, Starbucks wasn't providing that service. And I love that they're not messing around with the caffeine: a small 8 oz. latte automatically comes with two shots. That's what I'm talking about first thing Monday morning.
To remember what a neighborhood coffee shop is really like, stroll into Piccino Coffee Bar. It's not fast, the whole ordering process is a little disorganized, you may wonder why they don't have more than one person making drinks. But quaint, legitimate neighborhood coffee shops that focus on the quality and the craft of the drink are a dying breed. Do yourself a favor: remind yourself what they're like.

Lunch is having its day in the sun right now. Whether you prefer the carts, counters, bike delivery salumi dudes–it's all out there. But you also get the sense that, while unique and undeniably cool, many of these trends are fleeting. However, Douglas Monsalud and crew at Kitchenette SF serve beautifully constructed sandwiches, a few side salads, a "cookie of the moment," and a housemade beverage from a menu that changes daily–and I can guarantee you, they're here to stay. While the location is unassuming (a loading dock in an industrial strip in the Dogpatch), the food is anything but.
I invited my dad to come along and get a bite to eat recently. He appreciates new neighborhoods, thoughtful food, and innovative design–and I'd heard that Kitchenette SF had all three. Now, first things first: it's tucked away and not easy to find. But sometimes the things you have to really search for taste all the sweeter. We ended up parking before we spotted it, opting to find it on foot rather than driving around the block…again. You'll know you're getting warmer when you see a chalkboard sign out on the sidewalk. Cruise into the loading dock where smells of warm cookies commingle with the noises of businesses unloading goods and trucks backing in to make a delivery. There are some stairs leading into Kitchenette SF's loading dock and a little counter displaying the daily specials. After you order, linger and wait for your name to be called or head down the steps to snag a coveted bench, scattered haphazardly amongst the concrete below. It's all very urban. It's a little hipster. If the food weren't good, I might think it was a little too cool for school.
I ordered the Marin Sun Farms' pork schnitzel sandwich with braised cabbage and pink lady apples, a peanut butter/butterscotch cookie, and organic strawberry soda with local seltzer. We shared a bag of 4505 chicharrones (ah, after being a vegetarian for twelve years, nothing makes up for lost time like a bag of salty pig skin). The sandwich had a perfect balance of flavors: a crunch and sweetness from the apple, a little kick from the braised cabbage, a light and chewy Acme roll. Although I write about food often, I can't say that sandwiches often bowl me over. That being said, I talked about this sandwich for days afterwards.
More recently, I snuck away from work and ordered the "Warehouse Picnic," consisting of fried Rocky Jr. chicken, a deviled egg, potato salad, corn-jalapeno salad, pasta salad with tomato vinaigrette, farmstead cheese, and Acme bread. Summer perfectly encapsulated in a box. Kitchenette SF has seriously redefined fast food. It's all organic, and most of the ingredients are sourced from local farms–Monsalud says he actually hits up the farms on his days off and, in addition to knowing where the food comes from, he often even knows which row! There's a very deep connection to the origin and meaning of the food they serve–and it shows. Check their website or twitter feed to get information on the daily menu.

My friend Anthony was visiting from New York about a month ago, and I was trying to show him a very authentic San Francisco beyond the obvious tourist attractions. Anthony's a little hipster. You know the type: tight jeans, spectacles, deliberately messy hair, and a faux-leather satchel bag. So I was trying to introduce him to spots that were a little edgy, a little grungy, a little off the radar. Enter: the Dogpatch and Serpentine.
Owned by Erin Rooney (of Slow Club fame), Serpentine is located in the former warehouse of a tin-can factory boiler's room. Because of its high ceilings, large windows, and sea glass fixtures, it almost feels more like a large artist's loft rather than a bustling place of business. Adding to that whimsical feeling: much of the normal din of a restaurant is missing. Mid-day on a sunny Sunday and it was crowded but strangely quiet. It's got to have something to do with the acoustics of the building–regardless, I have to say, with constant refills of coffee and good conversation, we could've sat there all day enjoying the peaceful morning.
Now, for the food. I am often prone to hyperbole. I'm not sure where I got this trait, but for those that know me, it's a very real fact. But believe me when I tell you that the dish I had at Serpentine was the most perfect brunch dish I've ever had. Although their menu is seasonal, the "Red Flannel Hash" seems to be a staple. It consists of chunks of beautifully roasted beets, potatoes, Prather Ranch beef brisket, two poached eggs, and spinach. It's filling but not in a 'stack of pancakes' kind of way. More in a fresh, balanced, satiated kind of way.
We also tried the Alaskan sockeye salmon benedict with fried green tomatoes, pickled red onion, and lemon cucumber. We were definitely bummed that the fried green tomatoes were noticeably absent, but the salmon was cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was surprisingly light and creamy. We also tried the buckwheat strawberry pancakes. Now I'm one of those people that doesn't like to order something at a restaurants that I can make well at home. Pancakes fall into that category. But something is different about Serpentine's flapjacks: they actually have large pieces of strawberry cooked into them, and are served with lots of butter and incredibly rich syrup.
All in all, the food was seasonal, conscious, and well executed. This may be my new favorite brunch spot as it seems the usual see-and-be-seen weekend crowd hasn't yet descended, so there isn't an obscenely long wait and you don't feel guilty lingering over numerous cups of coffee. Which is exactly what we did. Anthony went back to Brooklyn satiated–and hungry to return.

Just For You Cafe
I've been on a bit of a beignet binge lately. Blame it on the cooler mornings and evenings, the fact I'm training for a marathon and feel entitled to eat whatever (and whenever I'd like), or the depressing economy–whatever the reason, I've been turning to little fried pillows of dough for comfort.
And Just For You Cafe is coming through for me. This neighborhood spot used to be located on 18th St. in Potrero Hill, but in 2002 they moved to their current location in the Dogpatch. Their tagline: "We served slow food before it was popular." And they're not kidding: they use local charcuterie and Zoe's all natural meats, eggs from Petaluma farms, the bread they don't make on-site they buy from Acme, and the seafood and produce is mostly all local. Their emphasis is on Southern and American style cooking, with specialties like Hatch green chili huevos rancheros, creamy grits, and Creole crab cakes.
A few weeks ago, I was over that way visiting a friend and we decided to pop in after seeing the prominent "Beignets" sign in the window. It was pretty darn crowded–people bring their dogs, toddlers, the Sunday paper, out-of-town parents…and all gather waiting for a table indoors. Thankfully they provide a free coffee cart outside so you can fill up a cup and hang out on the curb. Life could be much worse.
We waited about a half hour, and were eventually seated at this little booth table all the way to the back of the restaurant. Right by the kitchen–on an unusually hot day. Nothing like a little sweat on the brow to inspire heavy beignet consumption. But we managed. Just For You Cafe serves a plate of three beignets, self-proclaimed "fresh, fluffy pillows of perfection." I would have to agree. While their beignets definitely have a little more heft than others served throughout the city, they are worth the trip. After years and years in business, they've perfected the perfect dusting of powdered sugar and the light brown, buttery exterior. Eat them right when they arrive warm: our table noticed once they cooled down, they became a bit chewy (not really what you want in your "fluffy pillow of perfection").
In addition to our little pockets of fried dough, we tried the "Crabby Bennie," Louisiana sausage, and biscuits. The Creole crabcake atop the traditional eggs benedict rocked. I love a good crabcake–and they're surprisingly tough to find. But here it's all about the crab (versus all about the breadcrumbs, leaving you wondering if there's even any crab present). And the biscuits, while we both felt they could've been lighter and flakier, had a nice crumb and traditional baking soda flavor. So while it looks like a typical greasy spoon from the outside (and inside, really), this little diner's got class. Owner Arienne Landry's proving that, with quality ingredients and local products, Southern comfort food can be mastered right here in the Bay Area.

ERIC FREEZER wants to know what weedkiller he can use in an area where bulbs are.
29 Jan 2014 19:35
Eric using any weedkiller where bulbs are right now will damage bulb foliage now emerging. At the best of time it will be difficult to use weedkiller indiscriminately.
I would employ a mixture of hand digging and spot spraying with glyphosate which kills down to the roots.
29 Jan 2014 22:54
Oh! That went well.
Eric, I think my answer is the best way. Good luck
30 Jan 2014 00:54
Eric can use glyphosate in the bulb area once the bulbs have died down completely. That is when the foliage has died off and disappeared.
Now is certainly not the time to be using it anyway.
30 Jan 2014 07:10
In tight areas I use glyphosate in a small spray bottle (old cleaning liquid bottle like the one below) and use a piece of cardboard (or similar) to shield any "good" plants next to the weed. It's fiddly, but works well! But best to wait till the weeds are actively growing.
30 Jan 2014 09:34
I'd wait until all the bulbs have died down, then fork the area over well, removing any weeds, and then fertilize with bonemeal and replant. After a while the bulbs need splitting up and rejuvenating anyway.


text: Seems lots of interest is happening in this direction nowwith various ideas and patches having been submitted.I think the terms should be clarified a bit, even in our owndiscussion we are using them loosely. Let's keep focusingon the PID issues of containers and migration.- user have come to expect that pids range from [0..PIDMAX]- we can only migrate a self contained process tree (with some glue at the top)- when we migrate we expect that the pid is preserved to the user- we expect that UNIX semantics of pid visibility (e.g. kill etc) do not cross the container boundary (with some glue at the top)Now there are two views to achieve the preservation that go at the heartof the implementation only (not at the concept at all).Two fundamental concepts are thrown around here:(a) PID virtualization(b) PID spacesLet's be clear what I mean by these concepts:PID virtualization:===================The kernel continues to use its current internal pid management.Each task has a unique internal pid, throughout its life on thatparticular kernel image.At the user/kernel boundary these pids are virtualized on aper container base. Hence pids coming from user space are converted toan internal pid and internal pids handed to the user are convertedto the virtual pid.As a result, all places along the user/kernel boundary that deal withpids need to be identified and the conversion function needs to be called.Also the vpid needs to be allocated/freed on fork/exit.How this virtualization is maintained is an implementation detail.One can keep a full "pid->vpid" and "vpi->pid" hash with the containeror play optimizations such as the OpenVZ folks to keep extra virtualnumbers in the task->pids[type] structure and or makingvpid == internal pid for non-containerized processes.Right now the OpenVZ patch supplies a nice and clean means for this.In a sense our patch also followes this approach because we explicitelyhave these conversion functions and we too have similar optimizationsby masking the container id into the internal pid.Other then on the details of the pid virtualization, the patches seemto actually be the same ..What has been pointed out is that- calling these conversion function is overhead, cumbersome.- confusing, hence dangerous, since we are maintaining different logical pid domains here under the same type pid_tPID spaces:===========Pidspaces drive the isolation based on containers all the way down into thecurrent pid management. This at first sounds scary, but it will removelots of problem with the above approach.Instead of keeping a single internal pid range andits associated managment (aka pidspace), we provide one pidspace for eachcontainer. All lookup functions operate on the container's pidspace,hence this approach should remove the conversion functions and the twological domains, which seem to be big problem with the first approach.Alan Cox made a very important statement, namely there is no reason thatwe require unique pids in the kernel, even gave some examples where it isn'ttrue today. What becomes however a problem is the fact that now rather thenstoring the pid as a reference, we need to now store the <pid,container> pair,or more elegantly the pointer to the task. This later part unfortunatelyhas the problem of expired references to task structs.I think that Eric's patch on weak task references, if I understood it correctly,might come in handy. Instead of storing the task pointer, one stores thetask reference.What needs to be solved is the container spawner transition into a new containerjust like in the pid virtualization case.----------------Do people agree on these two characterizations and if so lets agree on what isthe right approach. From Linus's and Alan's comments I read they favor exploringtwo, because of the problems listed with the first approach.----------------Other issues..Herbert, brought up the issue of container hierarchy. Again, I think differentthings come to mind here.If indeed the containers are fully isolated from each other then its seems morea lifecycle management. E.g. migration of a container implies migration of allits children containers. From a kernel perspective, containers form a flat hierarchy. From a user's perspective one might allow certain operations (e.g. running theprocess list of another container) and here constraints can be enforced.e.g. ps --show-container mycontainer will show a specific containers-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to email@example.com majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlPlease read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Closing the Gap - Quality Assurance for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Medical Services (QAAMS) Pathology Program - enhancement
Closing the Gap - Quality Assurance for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Medical Services (QAAMS) Pathology Program - enhancement
Department of Health and Ageing
Key Elements
- The Government is providing $3.8 million over four years for participating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health services to provide accurate diabetes-related pathology testing on site. The measure will provide culturally appropriate support in the form of training, technical support and quality assurance so that participating services can improve management of diabetes in their client populations.
- The QAAMS program also provides a leadership training component to train local Indigenous leaders so that they can better assist with the overall management of the program.
- This program will contribute towards closing the gap in life expectancy between Indigenous people and other Australians. It will assist in avoiding the poor health outcomes that are associated with unmanaged diabetes in a population where diabetes is diagnosed at an estimated rate of 3.4 times that in the general population.
- The adverse health outcomes from unmanaged diabetes, which can include cardiovascular disease, blindness, kidney failure and loss of limbs, have a dramatic effect on the ability of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to hold down jobs, care for families and enjoy a quality of life that is often taken for granted in the general population.
- The existing QAAMS program provides pathology testing support, needed for effective management of diabetes, to 120 Aboriginal Medical Services (AMS) and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS) sites. The AMS and ACCHS provide primary health care services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities at predominantly rural and remote locations across Australia.
- Preliminary studies from the current QAAMS program have shown that access to opportunistic on-site diabetes testing at QAAMS sites has improved the health care outcomes for the program participants as well as achieving a quality of testing equivalent to that achieved in conventional pathology testing laboratories.
- The training and support component of the program allows the QAAMS program to achieve a quality of testing for the on site testing equivalent to that achieved in conventional pathology laboratories. This measure specifically encourages access to the required pathology testing at a rate that is closer to the Medicare access rates experienced by the general Australian population.
- The new funding will commence on 1 July 2009 and will allow expansion of the program to support up to 170 sites by 2012-13. Enrolment in the QAAMS program is on request from AMS and ACCHS sites where the local Indigenous service organisation wishes to participate.
- The QAAMS program is managed by the Flinders University Rural Clinical School and supported by a specifically-designed quality assurance program developed by the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia Quality Assurance Programs Pty Ltd. New contracts will be developed with each of these organisations.
Total Government Funding
The Government is providing $3.8 million over four years.

I hear a lot of grumblings about how difficult it is to use frequent flier miles for travel, yet I can honestly say that I haven't had this experience when booking my own flights. OK, so you have to be patient and flexible, but it's still quite possible to fly for free on your next trip.
As an example, if you're traveling within the continental U.S., Canada, and Alaska, Northwest Airlines and its partners (Delta, KLM, Continental, etc.) require 25,000 miles (Hawaii requires an additional 10K) and travel from these areas to, let's say, Europe requires 50,000. United and its partners (U.S. Airways, Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa, Air Canada, etc.) require the same number of miles.
I've used my mileage in the past for flights from Seattle to Atlanta (booking less than a week in advance) and to upgrade to first class on flights from Seattle to Liberia, Costa Rica. (You heard me, first class seats for less than $400 when I used my mileage to upgrade!)
Just this past week, I called Northwest for flights from Seattle to Bangalore, India. I wasn't able to get my ideal dates but had the option of leaving a few days later. The agent I worked with was very patient as we worked through numerous departure and return dates until we landed on a few different options. Because my itinerary isn't firm, I haven't booked yet, but plan to do so in the next few days. (If you hear me screaming, you'll know I missed an opportunity and am kicking myself for putting off the reservation).
While it seems smart to book well in advance, most airlines will not let you book more than a year out and award seats using your mileage may have an even tighter window. Check with your airline as soon as you've settled on dates of travel. If nothing is available, continue to check back. Often times, a person will reserve their award ticket and then not follow through by confirming it (which requires a small fee), which means it's back up for grabs for you.
A hassle? Perhaps for some. But making a few phone calls to the airline to check on availability is certainly worth it to me, especially when I'm looking at flights that would normally cost $2,100 per person to India.
Happy Travels!

Listed below are some easy diets that work fast for women.
Vegetarian diet
You can stay healthy and fit with a vegetarian diet. When you want to lose weight with a vegetarian diet, it is all about knowing what to eat and how much. When it comes to dieting, the size of your meal matters a lot hence you should learn to control the amount of vegetables you eat per meal.
Why Do People Choose A Vegetarian Diet?
Vegetarian diets that work fast for women include green leafy vegetables such as spinach, beans, fruits, wheat germ and whole grain cereals. As long as you are eating these foods, your body will be getting all the essential nutrients to keep it healthy.
Low carb diet
A low carb diet is another diet that works for women. This is a diet that has low levels of fats and carbohydrates in order to make sure you do not add weight. Low carb diets that work for women should have foods such as spinach, milk, broccoli, tomatoes, herbs, chicken breast, strawberries and sea bass.
How to Lose Weight: Low Carb Diet
Atkins diet
Almost every woman has tried the Atkins diet for weight loss. This is a diet that reduces carbohydrates intake in four phases. In the first phase, also known as the induction phase, you will eat less than 20 grams of carbohydrates in a day.
Diet Plan: The Atkins Diet
The second phase is known as the ongoing phase and the carbohydrate intake is increased slightly. The intake is again increased in the third stage known as the pre-maintenance stage and in the final stage known as the life time stage you will start the cycle all over again. The most common foods in this diet include fish, broccoli, poultry, cauliflower and salads. It is also important to drink lots of water when you are using the Atkins diet. It is one of the easy diets that work fast for women.
Low glycemic diet for women
If you are looking for weight loss diets that work fast especially for diabetics, then you may want to consider a glycemic index diet. The glycemic diet controls glucose and insulin when you are pregnant to make sure your baby is born healthy. The diet will include foods such as fruits, skimmed milk, yogurt and whole grains such as brown rice, barley, oats, chickpeas and pasta. This is believed to be one of the best fast diets that work for women.
Hollywood diet

In this case you will stay for at least 38 hours without eating any food. During this period you will drink a drink rich in nutrients to supply your body with essential minerals and vitamins. The diet drink usually contains soy milk, wheat germ oil, orange juice, flaxseed oil and cranberry juices.
Celebrity Diets for 2011
You can also take yogurt is also considered one of the best diet that work for women. It is recommended that you drink the juice slowly over a period of four hours and then take water to keep hunger away.

The medifast diet recommends five meals per day and it includes foods such as vegetable soup and soy crisps. However, this diet should not be taken by pregnant women and women with cancer. Other foods which are common in a medifast diet are raw vegetables, chicken, turkey, seafood and fruit salads.
Grape fruits diet
If you are looking for a 10 day weight loss diet, you may want to consider the grapefruits diet. This diet has been shown to produce long term weight loss outcomes in women. The grape fruit diet is a high protein diet that helps the body to burn calories. You should eat foods such as fish, eggs fried in butter, meat and bacon accompanied by a fruit salad. The salad is made up of tomatoes and green vegetables. This should be taken as a full meal rather than a snack.
Cabbage soup diet
The cabbage soup diet is another diet which you can use when you want to lose weight. The cabbage soup should be consumed for seven consecutive days accompanied by fruits and vegetables.

The urban graffiti characterized as a movement of intervention in the city where groups express new forms of living in the urban spaces. This work reflects on the process of collective creation by the urban graffiti in Florianopolis. We interviewed six graffitists of Florianopolis city, observations and photographic records and shooting of their creative activities in the city. We noticed that the formation of the groups of graffitists depends of their affinity and proximity relations from which they share experiences and emotions. Graffitists of different crews participate in the process of creation of the graffiti; these crews usually share techniques and suggestions among themselves. Among the crews researched, it was noticed a certain volatility and flexibility in their relations. There is a re-qualification of the urban spaces through these interventions, leading to the reinvention of the graffitists and the city itself.
Keywords : graffiti; process of creation; groups; urban tribes.

Reliability, Validity, and Significance of Assessment of Sense of Contribution in the Workplace
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Sense of Contribution Scale (SCS), a newly developed, 7-item questionnaire used to measure sense of contribution in the workplace. Workers at 272 organizations answered questionnaires that included the SCS. Because of non-participation or missing data, the number of subjects included in the analyses for internal consistency and validity varied from 1,675 to 2,462 (response rates 54.6%–80.2%). Fifty-four workers were included in the analysis of test–retest reliability (response rate, 77.1%). The SCS showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's α coefficients in men and women were 0.85 and 0.86, respectively) and test–retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.91). Significant (p < 0.001), positive, moderate correlations were found between the SCS score and scores for organization-based self-esteem and work engagement in both genders, which support the SCS's convergent and discriminant validity. The criterion validity of the SCS was supported by the finding that in both genders, the SCS scores were significantly (p < 0.05) and inversely associated with psychological distress and sleep disturbance in crude and in multivariable analyses that adjusted for demographics, organization-based self-esteem, work engagement, effort–reward ratio, workplace bullying, and procedural and interactional justice. The SCS is a psychometrically satisfactory measure of sense of contribution in the workplace. The SCS provides a new and useful instrument to measure sense of contribution, which is independently associated with mental health in workers, for studies in organizational science, occupational health psychology and occupational medicine.

Insurance telematics helps the insurance providers to access the information related to driving behavior, thereby enabling them to charge premiums accordingly. Telematics serves multiple functions by providing information of vehicle's speed, location, distance traveled, brake quality and general vehicle condition. Insurance telematics not only offers solutions to insurance providers, but it also helps drivers and government in terms of safety and driving behavior. This market is driven by a number of factors, such as greater market penetration of smartphones, increased safety and also an overall reduction in the connectivity costs. However, privacy concerns and lack of awareness about the product in developing countries may act as a roadblock to the growth of the market.

Daily News Flash with Courtney Morris on El Salvador's Elections, New Report on Syria's Children, and Bernie Sanders' Presidential Announcement
Uprising's guest expert Courtney Morris, assistant professor of African American and women's Studies at Penn State University and a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Rice University, analyzes today's news headlines:
Preliminary results for El Salvador's Presidential election are in and the FMLN candidate has declared himself the winner. Salvador Sanchez Ceren, the FMLN nominee, currently leads his rival with a razor thin margin of 0.22%. If he is pronounced the winner, it would be the first time in El Salvador's history that an actual rebel soldier from the civil war would lead the country. The FMLN was a coalition of rebel groups in the war of 1980 – 1992. One of the main points of contention in this election is the on-going gang violence in El Salvador, leading the country to have one of the highest murder rates in the world. Click here for a BBC article about the story.
Even though the war in Syria has slipped off the news radar, a newly released report by the group, Save the Children, has found that Syrian children are paying a devastating price. More than a million children have fled to neighboring countries and about ten thousand children have died since the start of the war. A significant fraction of those that died did so because of a lack of medical care. Click here for a New York Times article about the story.
Progressives in the US are cheering at the thought of independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders announcing his intention to run for President. Sanders is the longest serving independent in the history of the US Senate and, in an exclusive interview with John Nichols of The Nation, he announced his desire to lead a "political revolution." Sanders hasn't yet decided whether he will run as an independent or try to win the Democratic nomination. Click here for a Nation article about the story.

I recently had to add a printer to my Debian System and the System Settings -> printers dialog in the Gnome 3 System Settings application would not detect my Canon MP150 printer. Therefore, I started the CUPS interface by visiting: http://localhost:631 in my web browser and I was then able to add my printer. This interface will ask for a username and password before you can go ahead, the username is "root" and the password is your root password. Then click the add printer button and you may select your printer and add it to the system. Using the CUPS interface to view your installed printers as shown in the screenshot to the left, this offers printer administration and maintenance. If you click the name of your installed printer, it will take you to a page where you may print a test page or do other maintenance tasks.
This goes to show that the traditional Linux administration tools are better than the new control panels they are adding to the Linux desktop. If the Gnome 3 System Settings -> Printers dialog will not even detect my printer, what use is it? If you are wondering what version of Iceweasel I am using, it is Iceweasel 13.0 available in the Debian Experimental repositories. Ubuntu and Linux Mint would have the CUPS interface available as well. Give it a try if you are wanting to install a printer with a Linux distribution.

Taskmaster asks:
We know Niese was signed long term in ST last season and the idea of locking up the young guys is a model that is being followed. I am not sure the Mets are 100% sold on Ike yet but they are certainly leaning that way. My question is when do we see Ike given a LT contract that locks him up for 5-7 years?
Jessep replies:
For me, I think Ike has a lot to prove in 2013. The excuses of being rusty due to the prior injury or valley fever are now gone. He has to have a strong season in 2013 for the Mets to consider him a long term solution at 1B.
With regards to Niese, he was signed to a deal that takes him through his 30th birthday without the Mets ever having to go through arbitration with him.
With Davis, he will turn 26 just prior to Opening Day this year. So technically, the Mets know he's under team control until he turns 30 years old just like Niese. The difference here is that Niese is a young left-handed starting pitcher on the rise, and Davis is a young first baseman with something to prove.
It really all depends on the value of the deal. Neither deal would be necessary to keep the player on the Mets, it's just a matter of where you project arbitration going with that player.
If I had to guess, 2013 will make or break this for Davis. If he has a solid year, I think he could be rewarded with guaranteed money over the next 3 seasons with an option at the end of the deal.
I wouldn't say it's something they need to do right now though.

A former volunteer fire chief and Prince William County schools worker accused of stealing from both of his jobs was sentenced Friday to two years in prison, authorities said.
Prosecutors had initially accused Douglas G. "Bo" Taylor, 52, of stealing about $90,000 from the Remington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department and $60,000 from the Prince William County school system, though Taylor admitted far less wrongdoing when he pleaded guilty to wire fraud and filing a false tax return in September.
Taylor, a licensed master electrician, served as chief of the Remington department from 1994 to 2011, and prosecutors accused him of submitting fake invoices for materials he did not buy when he did renovation work for his department. They also said Taylor cheated Prince William schools by inappropriately using a school system credit card he had access to as a facilities services worker. Taylor would use the card to buy materials for the fire department's renovations, prosecutors alleged, then, in some cases, request that the department reimburse him.
As part of his plea, Taylor admitted only billing his department about $1,900 in October 2008 for a sink and wall mount that he later purchased for about $700. He also admitted filing a tax return that did not accurately reflect his extensive gambling winnings and losses. His attorney disputed many of prosecutors' other allegations during his plea hearing.
The sentencing is the latest in a string of cases federal prosecutors in Alexandria have brought against allegedly corrupt volunteer fire officials accused of stealing from their departments. William J. Stuart, the former president of the Remington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department, was sentenced last month to two years of supervised probation for swiping more than $40,000 of his organization's funds to pay his own mortgage during the 2008 financial crisis.

Words escape me
I've been in and out of my work's blog so often today that I find myself at a loss for things to type here. I was going to post a cute dog photo with a caption that I was all ears, but that felt a bit lazy. (Would still love to hear from anyone!) What to share?
If you don't have anything to say… there's nothing I could say about the speaker on happiness I saw this morning. As much as I scoff at it, I've seen a few gems coming out of Alt Summit that make me feel, I'll say it, inspired. But I'm not there, and sharing 140 characters of hearsay doesn't seem worthwhile. Although I'm pretty sure Sagmeister's happiness chat may have been more focused and useful.
Last night's late night writing annual goals (for workyou think I'm anywhere near that organized in my personal life?) is taking its toll. I need to join the snoring masses upstairs. Bread dough prep and deeper thoughts will just have to wait until tomorrow.

Some behind the scenes videos that aren't on the game disc and a sneak peak at Nolan's awesome new book! - http://gamespheres.com/
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is the upcoming third game in the Uncharted series, created by Naughty Dog for the PlayStation 3, and due for release in North America on November 1, 2011, Europe on November 2, 2011 and Australia on November 3, 2011. It is the sequel to the most critically acclaimed game of 2009, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. It was first revealed on December 9, 2010. Officially it was announced at the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards on December 11, 2010.
A search for the fabled "Atlantis of the Sands" propels fortune hunter Nathan Drake on a daring trek into the heart of the Arabian Desert, a journey that pits him and his mentor Victor Sullivan against the occult treachery of a shadowy clandestine organization and its ruthless leader. When the terrible secrets of this lost city are unearthed, Drake's quest descends into a desperate bid for survival that strains the limits of his endurance and forces him to confront his deepest fears.
Nathan Drake
As a modern-day fortune-hunter, Drake operates within a rough, lawless world occupied by treasure-seekers, antiquities smugglers, con men and thieves. Unlike his associates, Drake is driven more by the historical intrigue and thrill of the hunt, than the promise of the treasure itself. He may or may not be a descendant of Sir Francis Drake, the great 16th-century explorer and privateer—but regardless of his lineage, Drake is gifted with a remarkable historical imagination and an uncanny ability to unravel mysteries from only the barest clues.
Although he's smart and self-educated, Drake tends to conceal his intellectual side when dealing with the rogues gallery of dangerous individuals who haunt the gray-market underworld of the illegal antiquities trade. In his dubious line of work, Drake finds himself confronting everything from guerillas to drug traffickers, modern-day pirates, rival salvage companies, and frequently the law—so he's had to learn how to handle himself in tight situations, whether it means guns, fists, charm, or the occasional hasty exit. In the end, Drake survives.

We are just the temporary maestros (teachers) of the orchestra we call a classroom and help the students learn to play their unique genius notes all year long.
The whole song or the score is not a testing result of a child it is simply one note that is in the score and every so often it is played.
Yes, testing is tormenting, especially with the way it is STILL getting done even though so many know that it is not the best way for it to be done, but we can be the change together even though it is not ideal because it is what we will do with the data that matters. Will it help the students learn to play their own notes better as they play the notes to their musical score in life? Will I as an educator take the time to teach to the child's own tempo with the data?
If you look at testing as one note every so often that comes up on the musical score of a child's life song, you look to see if that note fits, and makes sense. That is what looking at data is about. Spring brings a lot of data notes to a child's life musical score. I am called as the temporary maestros to see & use those notes wisely.
I liked this video I saw a long time ago of birds on the wires, and though the birds all look alike they don't make the same notes. Neither will our students. Maybe some won't pass the testing cut off, maybe some will however their musical score to their own life matters more and we need to see the crescendos, and decrescendos, the fortes and the mezzo-fortes measure for measure in each student's own tempo through out the year, not just from testing.
I can't stop the testing madness, but I can use data wisely and that is what being a maestro is all about.

This portraitback to top
Mary Anne Clarke is best remembered for her central role in the 1809 scandal involving the sale of army commissions which forced the Duke of York's resignation as army commander-in-chief. In this miniature on ivory she appears as the Duke's mistress and her shapely form and pale skin are shown to advantage by a thin muslin gown. The Neo-classical style - which the artist Adam Buck helped to popularise - was at the height of fashion by 1803 and had become increasingly revealing. Moralists were beginning to complain about its immodesty while doctors reported a significant increase in chills and colds. Clarke fastens her dress here with two blue Wedgwood cameos and completes the look with a 'classical' hairstyle: lightly oiled and gathered up at the back of the head in a bunch of loose curls.

A friend of mine asked me to take a few portraits for his profile in his new work place.
This is quite a simple task, what needed were 2 umbrellas and a reflector and of course rearranging the living room. :)
The setup was simple:
1) 1 bounce umbrella on the camera left at round 45 degrees to and down the subject
2) a reflector on the camera right
3) a shoot through umbrella on the camera right behind the subject for hair light and a little bit of separation from the background.
I used 2 speedlights - canon 580ExII at 1/4 power for the front light and a yong nuo 460II for the back light at 1/16.
Here are a few from the session:
