I have been experimenting with the installation of Ubuntu Server onto a HP BL35P blade server and the process has been quite a learning experience indeed. The need to use the HP SmartStart CD to erase the RAID array on the server before the installation is different from your run of the mill desktop machine that can be easily erased with the Ubuntu partitioning tools or Windows disk management. A blade server is a different beast; requiring more attention to detail. Using the Integrated Lights-Out to manage the server remotely is just like using any remote desktop product; although you have a lot of control over the rack mounted server. You can turn the light on the front on and off, this is useful to make sure of which machine you are connected to. And you may also check fan speeds and temperatures for the hardware at a glance by clicking the appropriate tab in the ILO page. Here is a nice Youtube video that explains the ILO system in detail for administering a rack mounted server: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_IVihv64jk.
After watching this video you will have a good understanding of the functioning of the Integrated Lights-Out system for administering a Hewlett Packard rack server in a standard rack mount. Ubuntu Server would be a very good distribution to run on a rack mounted server; surely it will be able to install to a RAID array and be administered remotely with ILO. The SSH protocol for remotely connecting to a Linux machine and executing commands will be used once we get around to the installation. We had a lot of trouble getting the older firmware to work, it was version 1.85 and we updated it to version 9.30! But we ended up attaching a USB CD/DVD drive to the rack server using the expensive cable and then ran the HP SmartStart CD from a workstation over the network using ILO. Still; when I had some free time I loaded Ubuntu on a free machine on the network and added the IP address of the DNS server that manages the network and I got the machine to connect to the proxy server so I could access the Internet.
As shown in the screenshot to the left, this is an easy process. After this I added the proxy settings to the /etc/apt/apt.conf file as shown in the code sample below. This allows you to install packages with apt through the network. This is better than other methods. Just put a hash character at the start of the line to comment it out when you are away from the proxied network.
Acquire::http::proxy "http://Username:[email protected]:8080/";
That way we are still using the installation remotely, it is just running on a drive attached to the server. That is how flexible the HP server software is. The Ubuntu installation should be a piece of cake. Linux installed on a rack server is a perfect solution for deploying content. We could install the LAMP server role and serve out a simple website. That is one of the many things that Linux can do for you when it is installed onto a proper piece of server hardware. And the remote management is very useful when you do not want to sit next to a server rack in a noisy and cold server room. Remote management is where it`s at. The Windows Server 2008 R2 desktop does not refresh very quickly when accessing it via ILO; but any remote desktop setup is a heap of fun. Especially the ILO system as you can re-boot a server remotely and then re-connect to do further administration. I am setting up my Linux machine so that I can access it remotely, I will be using SSH to do this with Putty, this will be very useful for entering notes with VI and saving them directly to my home computer.
I have the /etc/hosts.allow file setup like this:
|{~/Documents}-{Tue Mar 19 20:36:26} -{john@adeptus-mechanicus } $ cat /etc/hosts.allow # /etc/hosts.allow: list of hosts that are allowed to access the system. # See the manual pages hosts_access(5) and hosts_options(5). # # Example: ALL: LOCAL @some_netgroup # ALL: .foobar.edu EXCEPT terminalserver.foobar.edu # # If you're going to protect the portmapper use the name "portmap" for the # daemon name. Remember that you can only use the keyword "ALL" and IP # addresses (NOT host or domain names) for the portmapper, as well as for # rpc.mountd (the NFS mount daemon). See portmap(8) and rpc.mountd(8) # for further information. sshd:ALL
And the /etc/hosts.deny file contains this line:
|{~/Documents}-{Tue Mar 19 20:43:01} -{john@adeptus-mechanicus } $ cat /etc/hosts.deny # /etc/hosts.deny: list of hosts that are _not_ allowed to access the system. # See the manual pages hosts_access(5) and hosts_options(5). # # Example: ALL: some.host.name, .some.domain # ALL EXCEPT in.fingerd: other.host.name, .other.domain # # If you're going to protect the portmapper use the name "portmap" for the # daemon name. Remember that you can only use the keyword "ALL" and IP # addresses (NOT host or domain names) for the portmapper, as well as for # rpc.mountd (the NFS mount daemon). See portmap(8) and rpc.mountd(8) # for further information. # # The PARANOID wildcard matches any host whose name does not match its # address. # # You may wish to enable this to ensure any programs that don't # validate looked up hostnames still leave understandable logs. In past # versions of Debian this has been the default. ALL:ALL
This way, the SSH connections can go through, but other connections will be verboten.

June 2014 - Freedom of the Seas to Caribbean - Eastern
The ship was amazing! We had one of the smallest staterooms and there was still plenty of room, more than all of the other cruise lines I've been on (which is 3). The food was great, my only complaint is that the buffet closes at 9 pm, which I thought was to early. If I wanted a healthy late snack it was hard to find, there are other options like pizza and sandwiches. There are so many fun activities to do, and fun things going on all the time. I love the main pool area, it has a little splash area you can sit in and stay cool in the sun while you watch the big screen. The ports we went to were amazing, unfortunately the swells were too big so we didn't see Coco Cay. St Thomas was beautiful. We snorkeled at Lindquist Beach, which was secluded and beautiful. We snorkeled on the reefs there and saw sea turtles, sting rays, sand dollars and beautiful fish. They do not have snorkel gear there so you have to bring it. The can ride p/p was $10 each way. In st Maarten we went b to Orient Beach, the French side. It was one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been to. The cab ride was cheap, the more people you have the cheaper the price. We had 4 people and it was $32 roundtrip for both of us. It is a nude beach, which I didn't prefer, but if you stay to the left of the rocks (if you're looking at the ocean) there aren't any nude people. This cruise left me wanting to find a crawl space I could sneak in to stay on another week.

Editorial correction, April 10
Published 7:46 pm, Wednesday, April 9, 2014
Wednesday's editorial, "Give voters back their voice," incorrectly quoted state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg. The paragraph should have read: "I have specifically called on them to resign," Steinberg said. He added that it would have been "politically advantageous" for the Senate to expel all three. Expelling the three Democratic state senators, who presumably would be replaced by Democrats, would preserve the party's supermajority in the Legislature, Steinberg explained. Nevertheless, Steinberg said he did not move for expulsions because the cases of both Yee and Calderon remain in court, and because Wright's guilty verdict has not yet been "entered into the record" by a final judge.


text: Corn Reaches Three-Year Low as Harvesting in U.S. Accelerates October 29, 2013 03:17 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Corn reached a three-year low in Chicago as harvesting of the grain accelerated in the U.S., the world's biggest producer, and crop conditions improved. Farmers gathered 59 percent of crops in the main growing areas as of Oct. 27, compared with 39 percent a week earlier, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said yesterday. Sixty-two percent of crops were in good or excellent condition, up from 60 percent a week earlier that received the top ratings. The U.S. may produce a record 13.8 billion bushels this season, the USDA said in September. Its next forecast is due Nov. 8. "It is above all the rapidly progressing harvest in the U.S. and the improving condition of plants still in the fields that are weighing on prices," Carsten Fritsch, an analyst at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt, said in a report e-mailed today. U.S. export figures for corn also have been "disappointing," he said. Corn for delivery in December fell 0.3 percent to $4.2925 a bushel as of 7:45 a.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade, set for a fourth straight drop. Prices touched $4.29, the lowest for a most-active contract since August 2010, and tumbled 39 percent this year on expectations that U.S. production would rebound from last year's drought. About 26.5 million bushels of U.S. corn were inspected for export in the week ended Oct. 24, down 18 percent from the previous week, the USDA said yesterday. Soybean inspections jumped 40 percent to 83.6 million bushels, the highest for any week since November 2009, USDA data show. Soybeans for delivery in January dropped 0.2 percent to $12.66 a bushel. The most-active contract fell 10 percent this year. The U.S. soybean harvest is 77 percent complete, matching the average pace of the previous five years, the USDA said. Wheat for delivery in December declined 0.2 percent to $6.7975 a bushel, on course for a fourth straight slide. In Paris, milling wheat for delivery in January lost 0.4 percent to 200.50 euros ($276.06) a metric ton on NYSE Liffe. Back to news

Well, aside from the webcomic in my signature.
Printable View
Well, aside from the webcomic in my signature.
I never used it except to play around with it a bit and think, "That's nice. I wonder if I'll ever have any real reason to use it?" ;)
But then, I hate XML: JSON all the way! :cool:
I just got pissed off at a hacked MySQL server, which is why I redid the webcomic. Maybe it's time to change it back--or just go with straight HTML.
Maybe Mongo or Solr?
Never heard of either of those.
Unknown to me..Thanks
PS: Oh, and don't forget SQLite for a RDBMS that does not require you install/use a separate, stand-alone database server.
XML Transforms -- in most all their uses -- much like XML as a database format is just a bloated wreck and disastrously bad idea. Human legible formats like XML are GREAT for data interchange BETWEEN database formats, but absolutely dreadfully inefficient when it comes to actual data procession.
... and no matter what the die-hard "XML for everything" nutters claim, XML exists to be a human legible format, NOT a machine readable one. I don't know where the blue blazes they got the idea that using plain english words in a markup style format is 'machine readable', but it shows that they don't know enough about 'machines' to be opening their traps on the subject. Are the integers and floats stored in bitpacked formats? Are the strings stored as RLL or null-terminated? No? THEN IT'S NOT MACHINE READABLE! (literally my right hand swings up ready to deliver a pimp slap every time a XML nutjob opens their yap on this subject).
Much like the now defunct XHTML 1.1/newer, XSLT was a bad idea put together by people who don't know enough about computers to be making 'standards' for them -- though admittedly I say the same thing about a LOT of recent technologies. They're all grossly inefficient, needlessly complicated, and actually make MORE work than older simpler formats... which is why I put JSON in the same category as XML for most data throughput...
But again, I'm the creepy bastard who's still using ASCII control codes or CSV for data transmission. Don't know why we need all the goofy complex crap like JSON and XML when we have perfectly good character codes for start of heading, start of text, end of text, end of medium, file separator, group separatior, record separator, unit separator... That thanks to every major character encoding being backwards compatible to ASCII7 work JUST FINE to this day.
Hell, the only time you should need to be passing field names is if you don't know the field names -- something that shouldn't be happening in the first place.
Oh, and mySQL got hacked? Lemme guess, still using mysql_ functions with no sanitation? .. and don't go completely back to flat HTML, just use PHP to glue parts together and leverage the filesystem, no SQL needed.
I'm increasingly starting to think that when it comes to databases, we're overusing them now for things where it's a total waste of code and time. Users, massive organized posts? Fine, makes sense... Static content on a site? Not so much.
my website take a second to show its text? Naaaaaaaaaaaaah, opening half a dozen XML files can't be the reason. 'Tis balderdash, bunkum, and billigswoggle. :D
*Checks out Coach Random webpage, realizes that the link is YEARS out of date. Whoops.*
But then again, I'm the same guy that had THIS for a root element start tag:
The XML prolog putting IE into quirks can't be helping much either :D
NOT that FF doesn't have a quirks mode too, despite what a lot of dev's claim:
Or the endless ID on everything and oddball use of numbered headings...
Oddball use of numbered headings?
*Owns up to using the ID attribute a lot.*
Oh, and when you say "static content on a site"--What if it's a HUGE webpage? (It's built from PHP+MySQL)
Oh, and before you make mention of it, class names such as 'class="DigoToggle DigoWingsBat DigoWingsButterfly DigoWingsClassic DigoWingsTricolour DigoWingsZZType Furre1GenSelectTriggering FurreAction ZZOtherAnystuff "' ARE required for this page to work.
Did you REALLY mean to say on this page:
That "The Strips", "Random Stuff" and "History" are subsections of "August 29, 2001 - April 23, 2004"? I kinda doubt it.
It might be more efficient to put that into simple arrays in a static include, than waste the overhead of a database on something that is not queried for anything more than "SELECT *"
... unless you're actually doing something more than what I'm seeing.
... but then 325k of markup for 134k of plaintext is usually a pretty good indication there's something awry with the markup; like endless pointless classes and ID's for nothing.
the online game Furcadia is updated and adds more lines. I suppose I could recreate the page from PHP+MySQL and reupload a flat HTML page every time Furcadia updates.
They're not there for CSS. They're there for JavaScript. Remember when I mentioned there were a few pages I created where the very PAGE was pointless without JavaScript? This is the largest of them. It's basically a search tool for DragonSpeak command lines (DragonSpeak is Furcadia's scripting langauge).
The IDs used with the checkbox inputs identify each criteria (and there's a hierarchy, thus the cumulative ID names. For example:
"DigoWingsButterfly" DigoWingsButterfly mean it's a Digo (a purchasable extra), DigoWingsButterfly means that this particular digo is of the Wing variety, and the whole thing means that they're butterfly wings.
The JavaScript will match any table row with the class name "DigoWingsButterfly" with the checkbox with ID="Digo" ("Digos in General"), ID="DigoWings" ("Wings") and , of course, ID="DigoWingsButterfly" ("Butterfly wings").
Oh, and the commands 'class="DigoToggle DigoWingsBat DigoWingsButterfly DigoWingsClassic DigoWingsTricolour DigoWingsZZType Furre1GenSelectTriggering FurreAction ZZOtherAnystuff ' is used for?
- (0:274) When a furre turns on any wings,
- (0:374) When a furre turns off any wings,
Gotta catch 'em all.
Well, I suppose I could have gone with an AXIS or HEADERS attribute on a table header or table cell, but the end result would have been just as lengthy.
I invite you to poke around the page, see how the page works, and let me know how you would have done it. At least the people it was meant for (that being people working with DragonSpeak) liked it.
Oh, and one other thing.
EDIT: *Goes over code* Hmmm... I suppose I could go over the attribute tabs, strip out the ID attributes as well those in the fieldsets, and just use JavaScript to tie them together in the sequence in which they appear. Hmmm...
First, would be the 'accessible' way, which would mean multiple page-loads and most of what you are doing being handled server-side, not client side. Frankly, I'd never build a single page that size in the first place; waste of bandwidth if the end user doesn't visit all the options. NORMALLY this would be what I'd advocate as a page SHOULD be made to work -- without scripting -- LONG before you EVER think about adding JS to a page.
That said, you've built an application, not a website -- and there is a difference.
That difference leads to my second approach; since none of your elements on the page are the least bit useful when scripting is disabled, I'd have generated 99%+ of your markup... from the script. Quite literally between your <body> and </body> If I was writing that page, the content would probably have looked like this:
EVERYTHING else on that page generated from the script. It would be far, FAR less code, and properly gracefully degrade. It would also mean you could store hooks to the generated elements (preferably built with DOM methods) in objects and arrays so you don't need any of those classes. That would speed up the page's responsiveness since you wouldn't have any getElementByxxx in there either.Code:
The Cross-Referenced Catalogue Of DragonSpeak Lines
<script type="text/javascript" src="dragonSpeak.js"></script>
Oh, and that 'view' popup has to be the most annoying thing ever. I'd try to find some alternative to that. Maybe at least modernize/center it with a lightbox type effect since it's current behavior results in buggy/broken/hard to use scrolling.
Really though a LOT of the data in there I'd be loading via AJAX; there's no point in sending client-side data they aren't actually viewing.

As you know, I signed up for a conditioning class designed for pole dancing and aerial arts. I've dreamed of the trapeze for a long time but never felt it realistic or even in my grasp. And everyone knows that I had childhood aspirations of being a hooker, sad as that might be. So, learning this is reinvigorating.
All the sore shoulders and butt muscles are thrilling. It feels wonderful to be conditioning again. I get really high off that feeling and when I'm exercising, I total getting pleasure from working hard. If I control the exercise, I can get near that point for myself and it's kind of silly.
I love that I might be flexible... well, sort of flexible or more flexible than I was.
I am actually practicing every day and it's wonderful. It takes a surprisingly long time to do all of the stretches.
Satisfaction, the show I have been watching about a brothel, is a wonderful addition to me routine. It is relaxing but also eases that pressure of sex a bit in my mind. I think one of the biggest dams for me is that guys are expected to get off each time they have sex, wheras women are just an added bonus. I don't know many men that would be fine getting the woman off and not themselves in the end. Yes, getting her off is important to them but they also want to finish. As women, we mostly think of men first. I know this because that's how mainstream thinks. I've since come to realize that I don't need sex so there should be no reason that I should have to work so hard to please a man if he isn't going to try to please me.
I won't put my romantic relationships on the same level as my friendships.

Voyageur Sash
$ 12.95
Woven by Carl Langlois, Quebec
Available in three sizes and two colors.
In the 1700s and 1800s, both French voyageurs and Native Americans enjoyed wearing colorful sashes and garters for both practical and ceremonial occasions. The men wore them by wrapping them twice around their waists. Voyageur sashes could also be slung around the forehead to support packages being carried. In addition to their own use, voyageur sashes were also traded for pelts.

The 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. curfew has been lifted.
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar made the announcement at a press conference, this evening.
But while the Government has "removed the curfew on land and sea with immediate effect", the State of Emergency remains.
The State of Emergency was declared by the PM on August 21. In an address to the nation on that day, Persad-Bissessar said: "We have the will to tackle the crime problem in Trinidad and Tobago. We have the commitment to place every resource at our disposal towards waging and winning this war on crime. We will succeed. The nation must not be held to ransom by marauding groups of thugs bent on creating havoc on our society. We will hunt them down search them out and we will bring them to justice."
Today, the PM declared the State of Emergency successful in "substantially reducing criminal activity".
"The statistics tell us that we have achieved success.
"It saved our nation."
See the PM's full statement in story below.

"Curiosity seeks to annihilate itself; there is no curiosity that does not want an answer" Eliezer S. Yudkowsky
We are naturally curious, and eager to exchange our ignorance for knowledge, and our naivety for understanding.
There is intense curiosity, like the stalking paparazzi type, or mild curiosity, like wanting to know the weather forecast, but most of us have moderate curiosity.
Like Newton's apple that fell and inspired the theory of gravity, our Eureka! Moment comes unexpectedly. We don't seek out something to be curious about, we stumble upon it, like an oddity in a Dickens' Curiosity Shop; it draws our attention to it, and we desire to know more about it.
Sometimes our curiosity draws us to a person. We are like the 'Curiosity' rover on Mars, zooming in closer to attempt to understand someone better. Curiosity engages our senses – we feel the energy in a person's voice, or the firmness in their handshake.
Our curiosity also draws us inward to ask ourselves questions like, who am I? Why am I here? We may have never fully answered the call to "Know Thyself" since it was inscribed outside The Temple of Apollo at Delphi in ancient Greece, but our curiosity helps us understand ourselves and others better.
Curiosity is like a muscle that we develop by questioning, seeking new experiences, and viewing old experiences with fresh eyes. It stretches us, teaches us, and changes us.
We may even contradict our former views, change our minds, and cross the floor, as it washes away outmoded ideas.
Albert Einstein's curiosity led him to expand on Galileo's theories. Einstein looked at Galileo's findings and asked different questions, which led to his discovery of the theory of relativity.
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious". – Albert Einstein
Neurologists have found that asking new questions helps us form new neural pathways in our brains. An active curiosity slows down the aging process, encourages openness and inquisitiveness in social relationships, reduces boredom, and increases happiness, according to an article in Experiencelife.com.
It is also crucial to rational thinking. Of the 12 Virtues of Rational Thinking, curiosity is the number one according, to The Rationality Institute:
"The first virtue is curiosity. A burning itch to know is higher than a solemn vow to pursue truth. To feel the burning itch of curiosity requires both that you be ignorant, and that you desire to relinquish your ignorance. If in your heart you believe you already know, or if in your heart you do not wish to know, then your questioning will be purposeless and your skills without direction. Curiosity seeks to annihilate itself; there is no curiosity that does not want an answer. The glory of glorious mystery is to be solved, after which it ceases to be mystery. Be wary of those who speak of being open-minded and modestly confess their ignorance. There is a time to confess your ignorance and a time to relinquish your ignorance."
Eliezer S. Yudkowsky – The Twelve Virtues of Rationality
In order to cultivate your curiosity, you need to be open to new information, so you can leave your comfort zone and discover what could be. The key is to ask questions, and the first question to ask is – how can I be more curious?

At a press conference in Bengaluru, Asus India announced the launch of Google Nexus 7 in India coming by the end of next month. With reports coming in of the 3G version of Google Nexus 7 in works, it makes sense as to why Google hasn't launched the Nexus 7 in India. The 7-inch tablet which has created waves for it's power and price in the US comes with Nvidia's Tegra 3 quad-core processor, IPS display, 1GB RAM, WiFi (as of present model) Android 4.1 aka Jelly Bean.
The Wifi only enabled Nexus 7 makes sense to not be suitable for Indian market, and only the 3G version would make at of sense for the people to go for the tablet. Unfortunately, Asus as of now didn't mention any price details for this tablet, but sure it's satisfying to confirm the best tablet in the maret to be available in India unlike the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which finally failed to make an arrival in India after months of speculation. This did disappoint us and hence made it quite possible for the Google Nexus 7 to not arrive in the Indian market.

Matthew 12:22-30
22 Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
23 And all the multitudes were amazed and said, "Could this be the Son of David?"
24 Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, "This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons."
25 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
26 "If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27 "And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
28 "But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.
29 "Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
30 "He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad."
Here in Iowa there is a great, good-hearted rivalry between Iowa State University and the University of Iowa. Because both are fine institutions of higher learning, parents in this state have a tough decision when choosing whether to send their child to "State" or "the U." It is not unusual for parents with multiple children to sport bumper stickers that reference the fact that they have kids at BOTH schools. And when the Iowa State Cyclones and the Iowa Hawkeyes play football against each other, you'll see a lot of folks wearing t-shirts or hats that show the mascots for both teams, with the phrase "A House Divided." Here in Iowa, as much as we joke about being divided, people tend to love both schools and cheer for both teams, because there is still an understanding that we are one "house" here in the great state of Iowa.
Intrastate football rivalries aside, Abraham Lincoln is probably better known for having used the phrase "a house divided." In his 1858 acceptance speech for his nomination to the Illinois Republican ticket for Senate, Mr. Lincoln referenced those words of Jesus in talking about the coming strife that threatened to divide our nation. In the midst of his speech, Mr. Lincoln said:
"'A house divided against itself cannot stand.' I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new, North as well as South."
In today's verses from the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus uses the metaphor of "a house divided" in trying to teach the Pharisees about the source of His authority to drive out demons. After He drove out a demon and restored a man's health, the Pharisees accused Jesus of using the power of Satan to cast out Satan's own minions. As Jesus notes, it seems illogical for Satan to be working against himself. So, on a very superficial level, Jesus was using "a house divided" to denote Satan working against his own purposes. But take a closer look at verse 25 again, where Jesus says that famous phrase:
"Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand."
"Every kingdom divided against itself." Does that sound familiar? Think about the civil war that tore Israel in two after the death of King Solomon. Think about the division between the prophets who called for a return to God and the kings and priests of Judah and Israel who sought after other gods. Think about the people of Galilee who brought their sick to be healed and yet who also reviled Jesus and did not repent of their sins. Think about a certain apostle whose loyalties were divided, and who eventually fell to Satan. Think about the Sadducees and Pharisees who believed different things about the Messiah and about the resurrection of the dead, and yet how both opposed Jesus. Think about the temple itself.
Matthew 24:1-2
1 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
The temple would not be destroyed from without but from within. The temple would be thrown down from the divided loyalties of the priests. It would be cast down, stone by stone, from the divided hearts of people who wanted to believe in a messiah but did not see the Messiah when He stood right in front of them. The temple and Jerusalem itself would fall because they had not bound up the strong man in their house--Satan himself! Only God Himself could bind Satan and cast that accuser out of the house of a man's heart or out of the house of God itself. So long as the Pharisees continued to see Jesus as their rival, then they would oppose Him and remain weak against sin and evil. Their house would be divided, and they would not long stand.
As I was reading Mr. Lincoln's speech this morning, I also thought about his second inaugural address, in which he compared the Civil War to a bitter and yet righteous judgment from God. As Mr. Lincoln had earlier stated, the Union would either become "all one thing, or all the other," but his fervent hope was that we would emerge from the fiery conflict with an appreciation for the sacrifices and the price paid for the freedom we would all now enjoy:
"Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said 'the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.'"
We stand today on the cusp of another division in this nation, but it shall not lead to such bloody war. Although racial prejudices remain after even more than a century since Mr. Lincoln's call for unity and rebuilding, and although the commercial enterprise of slavery continues today in the shadows of the sex trade and pornography, those days of civil warfare are long gone. Today, the war that is brewing is between the people of God and those who have strayed far from God's teachings, between those who truly follow Jesus and those who follow the gods of the flesh, of "logic" and "enlightened" human philosophy. Today, we face hearts and minds divided between loyalty to the living God and loyalty to a desire for more wealth and an easier life promised by governments and corporations who have raised mammon as the god of the day. Today, even our churches stand on shaky ground as a house divided against itself because we have preachers in the house of God who do not follow His Word, who kowtow to social mores and wayward hearts, who compromise holiness for convenience and for political correctness. Jesus warned us that such a house could not stand, that a country so divided would fall either one way or the other but could not stand as it does today. He warned us that the temple of God would not long withstand the storms of separation from God.
Dear friends, we have the chance to unite this people, this nation, this church of Christ under One who is greater than all others. We need not stand for division and rancor fostered by bitter and greedy men who seek power more than justice, who seek riches and fame more than mercy and grace, who seek the fruit of the flesh rather than the fruit of the Spirit of God. We need not allow modern-day Pharisees to call into question the true work of God. We need not divide ourselves between loyalty to our Lord Jesus and loyalty to church institutions that are long dead because of the sin within them. We need not allow this nation to be ripped apart, nor allow our legislators and our courts to wage a very UN-civil war of ideas to sweep morality from this land.
Matthew 7:24-25
24 "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:
25 "and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock."
As the old hymn goes, "On Christ the Solid Rock I stand; all other ground is sinking sand." We must stand firm upon the rock of Jesus Christ, holding fast to the Word of God and not the mere traditions of men. We must be of one mind, one heart, one soul, united in love and faith. We must join Jesus and gather with Him in the harvest that is so ripe among the people of this broken and hurting world. We must not divide but unite, not scatter but call, not live in bitter rivalry but in love, not accuse of sin but guide others to the truth of the gospel so that the Holy Spirit of God may convict their souls to repentance.
Truth be told, even though I live in Iowa City and root for the home team whenever they play against "that other team," at heart I am actually a fan of Ohio State University. When the OSU Buckeyes come to town, all loyalty to the Iowa Hawkeyes goes out the window, and out comes my scarlet and grey. But that loyalty to my home state is a temporary thing, a fleeting entertainment rather than a lasting covenant. My deepest loyalty is to Jesus Christ. Wherever I go, whatever football team I may root for, my whole heart truly belongs to Jesus.
Joshua 24:14-15
14 "Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD!
15 "And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
Mr. Lincoln was absolutely right when he said this nation cannot stand as it is but must fall either one way or the other. As Joshua told the Israelites, we must choose what gods we will serve. Therefore, let not our house be divided but let us choose to wholly serve the Lord our God.
Blessed heavenly Father, such strife abounds in Your church today and in this nation that once proudly served You and was founded on Your principles. Holy Lord, may Your Spirit heal those divisions, binding the wounds of those caught in this not-so-civil war, so that all men may live under God as a house united in just cause for You and Your kingdom. Let not the storms of division rend this nation and Your church, but if such battle must be waged, let us endure such tribulation with faith and hope, and emerge in Your victory saying, "The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." Amen.

Client Server Protocol Implementation project
The main goal of this Client Server Protocol Project is to implement the Client Server Protocol Implementation.The dream global communication is solved in a great deal by the introduction of Internet. This made the necessity of networking in communication clear.
Internet protocol such as Transmission Control Protocol OR Internet protocol make uses of nodes called as computer gateways. Through which one computer can connect to another interconnected physical network.
The term gateway can be defined as the special functionality as well as dedicated device that combines two or more physical networks to routes data packets . Gateway consist of a table or database which consist of information regarding the network connected and the routes available. These special network gateways exchange information related to routing continuously after regular interval to find any network changes.
Our Client Server Protocol project is based on the protocol which will permit special gateway to be added to the existing internet without having manipulating the existing gateways. Suppose a new gateway is to be added to the existing internet and this can be allocated to near by neighbors with which this gateway can communicate. The neighbors which are already inside group of the other working network have already send the routing information to other and themselves.
So then this gateway need to inform all its neighbors about current nodes of network it could reach so they can finally update their routing table and then propagate the routing information to the remaining gateways in the network.

A teleconference took place on Friday night in which newly acquired Sounders FC forward Eddie Johnson participated alongside Sounders FC General Manager Adrian Hanauer, Head Coach Sigi Schmid and Technical Director Chris Henderson.
Johnson signed with MLS on February 17, 2012 and was selected on February 18, 2012 by Montreal Impact via allocation process. The Impact were top of the allocation list of sides with rights to incoming players.
He was immediately traded by Montreal to Sounders FC in exchange for Mike Fucito and Lamar Neagle.
The loss of Neagle, a local boy from Federal Way WA, was received with widespread sadness by a large swathe of the Sounders fanbase, with initial reaction on chat boards proving hostile to the transaction.
Neagle netted a famous hat trick in the 6-2 win over Columbus Crew and scored a vital goal in the MLS play-off against Salt Lake, which nearly rescued a 3-0 deficit.
His willingness to attend fan events and mingle with his fellow Seattleites had increased the popularity gained from his on field performances, as had his easy going and likable demeanour.
Mike Fucito too was not without some very devoted fans.
Reaction in Montreal was upbeat.
"We have made our team much stronger today," said Impact head coach Jesse Marsch.
"Mike Fucito is a dynamic and talented young forward who we believe is on the verge of having a great year and establishing himself as a very good forward in MLS.
Lamar Neagle is a player who is a very good offensive threat from wide positions and has also shown that he can score goals."
Johnson scored a career-high 15 goals in 24 games with the Kansas City Wizards in 2007. He has 42 caps for the USA but has not featured on a regular basis in recent matches.
Vancouver Whitecaps now assume top place in the allocation order.
Neagle and Fucito join another 2011 Sounder Tyson Wahl in Quebec.
The machinations began on Thursday when Brian Ching was returned to his Houston home by Marsch in return for a draft pick.
With their offensive firepower removed, Montreal head hunted Neagle and Fucito with returning US international Johnson as the bait.
Johnson joined the Sounders squad in Florida on Saturday and played the first half hour in a 5-0 romp over Florida Gulf Coast before leaving with a pulled hamstring.

We've made it through the cold rainy months and now we can look forward to warm sunshine, flowers and spring fashions.
But first, you've got to audit your closet.
Out with the old
Make a careful review of your winter wardrobe. Ask yourself what did you wear? What was a miss? Be extra tough. You'll be thankful next year, but reflect now while everything is still clear in your mind. Did you wear that itchy sweater, or all three colors of those turtlenecks? Which wool pants did you ignore because the cut was out of date? Get it out, donate it, pack it up!
And now for your fav's.
Dry clean them now, you'll thank me next fall. Dry cleaning prices for women can be rough on the wallet, so select your signature pieces and drop them off. Make sure you include your winter coat, your best two sweaters, and any wool or gabardine dresses or trousers. If you have more than five pieces, consider dropping them off in smaller quantities to ease the hit on your budget. But make sure you pick them up - trust me, you'll be thrilled at first frost.
What to keep
Pull all items that transcend the seasons and trends. This spring we have several great investments that can keep your look going whatever the weather. High-waisted belts will be an excellent accessory throughout the next season, so keep them out and belt them around your new colors. Jeans come and go, but the standard boot cut is tried and true.
With the warmer weather, keep your lighter jackets or sport coats out, but now pair them with your short-sleeve dresses.
Anything classic is a good bet. For example, the button-down collared shirt still works for spring, just audit your colors. No more grey but keep white, blue and red. On to yellow and green, violet and orange. Each will help the new pieces you find seem like versatile looks for weeks to come. Try a button down under a jumper, or tucked into a spring skirt look.
What's new?
Signature spring comes in navy, white and yellow. Review your last year's purchases before adding more. Look for what you are missing. Do you have a navy skirt, shirt, dress or coat? If you flip through any fashion magazine you'll notice that bright colors are hot. Paired together or toned down, they are as bright as the azaleas in bloom. Hot pink, tangerine and green make their way to the scene.
After careful evaluation of your closet you know what you're missing and what you can weave through. Remember, with just four to six pieces, you can make your whole wardrobe new. Each of these looks can be interchanged with your staples.
1. Spring coat
A spring coat is a must-have but the biggest investment. If you find one that works, make it wear itself out. A great coat can be fabulous three out of five days a week. If you aren't ready to commit the budget, then go for a cropped jacket instead.
2. Something navy
Remember to audit your navy from last spring, but then add on. You know any purchase is wearable this year and next. For a higher risk, consider this high-waisted navy trouser with gold buttons from Milly. The bright yellow collared knit top will keep heads turning.
3. Bright colors
break out
Bright colors are everywhere, so find the accent that works for you. You might be able to go all out and pair hot pink with tangerine. But for others, try a signature piece and get comfortable first. Consider a bright top with a neutral sweater and skirt. Or if you're feeling like testing the waters, try an ivory dress with bright colored patent leather shoes.
4. Go strong with prints
I'll say it again, tribal prints are arriving, and you can find the colors that work for you. Here's a sample in earthy tones that works for blondes and brunettes as a simple wrap dress. An alternative to this is a cooler option with stylized patterns. If these prints still aren't calling your name, a great alternative is this khaki safari dress. Be a part of the sensation, but stay true to you.

Dickinson may require surgery
Pompey defender Carl Dickinson may require knee surgery the club have just announced.
The defender who has started twenty six games since coming on loan from Stoke City is to see a specialist over the injury which kept him out of Tuesday's defeat at Loftus Road.
Blues boss Steve Cotterill told the club site : "Carl Dickinson will be going in and having a knee operation. It could be short-term or long-term.
"He will definitely have to have something done, it`s just the severity of what he has to have done."
Cotterill has one other injury concern ahead of Derby's visit to Fratton Park.
He said: "From the 11 that started at QPR we've got one doubt for Saturday. As it stands at the moment he`ll be no more than 50-50. That's my biggest worry."
Fortunately despite the small size of the current Pompey squad there is plenty of cover at left back with Hermann Hreidarsson and Richie De Laet able to fill in.
However it is worrying that with no additions during the January window and several players appearing to be carrying injuries tht we will be found out in the weeks to come.

My cover for this week's The Nation illustrates the interesting case of New York's Left/Right Governor Andrew Cuomo. In a good read by Eric Alterman we see that 2016 considerations make him a celebrated and frustrating figure to the people who voted for him.
My solution was to see if it were possible to render three portraits in one. This would involve each eye serving two different aspects of the face. How to make this work? I have discovered that you might be very confident about an idea but you won't really know until you start sketching (reminder to my students: it's all about the sketch). It so happened that this one came together fast. Great thanks to Roane Carey, Katrina vanden Heuvel, Milton Glaser, Sue Walsh.
This falls under the category of what the great designer and author Steven Heller calls "human experiments", the using of features in unexpected manipulation that, one hopes, makes sense as illustration. Below are what might be some other examples of this.
This for a book called "Fold and Tuck", taking the wonderful Al Jaffee's Mad magazine fold-in page and using this with only heads. For example, when you folded Jerry Lewis into Ronald Reagan . .
. . . you got George Bush Sr.
For a while I experimented in what was once called Topsy Turvys, seeing how an image that changes when you looked at it upside down. So here, reunifying Germany, was Helmut Kohl . . .
. . . and also Otto von Bismarck, another unifier.
Here's a fantasia on Campaign '88, composed of body parts.
I think this week in the back of my mind was this piece by one of our Olympians, Al Hirschfeld, who saw similarities between Broadway comedians Teddy Hart and Jimmy Savo in "The Boys From Syracuse". Mistaken identity was part of the plot. He used this solution in several other pieces as well.
Here's a piece sent to me by my friend composer and Renaissance Mensch Arthur Maisel. A beauty by Leonard Baskin.
Iraq ten year update. The war criminal who started an unnecessary war that killed over 4,000 US troops, hundreds of thousand of innocent Iraqi people, phyisically and psychologically injured millions more, some for life, is still at large.
Gawker.com has found his email so we can all send Mr. Bush a message so we can now all stay in close touch. Please send him my very best regards and hopes that he may spend the next anniversary and all the others in a warm, quiet place.

On-line dating, webcam chats, video dating, facebook, tumblr, myspace, bebo, speed dating, chat rooms, blogs, twitter, the list goes on…..these things have become our reality, our 'virtual' reality. Social sites are in fact far from social, they are an isolated pastime, a simulation.
There is even something called, 'virtual dating' which uses Avatars (graphical representation of the users) for people to interact in a virtual venue, like a romantic café in Paris. But why would anyone want to date a cartoon character? It is part of our humanity to evolve through human interaction and exploration of the natural world. We need genuine warmth and affection – love in the sun, not on the net.
In cyberspace, it is easy to create a persona and a life that is picure perfect and quite dazzling. So, you can set up a facebook page with photos airbrushed in photoshop and then add images that are glamorous and racy to create a in–credible illusion of your life. Dating sites offer the same trap, a profile that portrays a pseudo person. You can be anyone you want over the world wide web.
And there is a dangerous side to dating a virtual stranger. Recently, a woman in America sued the dating site Match.com for $10m because she was matched with a murder suspect who brutally attacked her.
We are swimming against a tsunami. For within this graphic game world we are trying to become more real, more natural and more normal. These sites encourage us to create an enormous ego personality, but what we want is to crack the ego and embrace our shadow to tame and heal it, not give it free rein to run wild.
Morose looking models with painted, pouting faces adorn the pages of the social networking site Tumblr. These images, romanticise depression and eating disorders, portraying them as rather exotic. But most depression is the dark forces pushing, and eating disorders are an illusion of the ego and its image of itself, related to the desire to be something that you're not.
Gradually these complaints become self-perpetuating, so anorexic behaviour, or over eating, becomes addictive, so while it may start out in the psychology of a person, it becomes gradually physiological, you build a residual self image.
So far has this simulated virtual world gone, that some children can't ask each other to dance at a school disco unless they have a mobile phone to text and ask for a dance.
It's time to get off our computers, embrace our friends, grab our pets and head for the hills for a little while, to feel the wind on our faces and the sun on our skin, to bathe in a river and sing to the stars. Let's get real.

Cotswold Hills National Mapping Programme project
The project area extends from Wotton-under-Edge in the south-west to just south of Stow-on-the-Wold in the north of the Cotswold Hills. The project was funded by the former Historic Environment Enabling Programme (Project No. 4755) and was carried out by Gloucestershire County Council Archaeological Service. The key results of the survey are available in the NMP report.
Prehistoric sites
Mapping in and around the Cirencester revealed an interesting wealth of archaeological features which date from the prehistoric periods to the Second World War. Numerous ring ditches were visible as cropmarks, and were interpreted as the levelled remains of probable Bronze Age round barrows.
Although no settlements have been identified dating to this period, the presence of the many funerary sites and field systems, which may be contemporary, is indicative of a Bronze Age population. The area continued to be settled during the Iron Age, as suggested by 'banjo' enclosures, rectilinear enclosures, hill forts and unenclosed settlements.
Roman period
The Cotswold Hills are also well-known for Roman sites, and many have been identified by the aerial survey. There is a wealth of evidence for Roman-period activity within the project area, as the long-lasting Roman influence made significant changes to how the landscape was structured.
New types of site, such as villas, towns and the extensive road network, were constructed across the region. Large numbers of villa sites and other settlements are mostly visible as cropmarks, such as that at Barnsley Park, which is associated with an extensive system of field boundaries.
Medieval and post-medieval
The most common form of archaeological evidence across the study area were the remnants of the medieval and post-medieval agrarian landscape. Extensive areas of ridge and furrow cultivation were visible as earthworks on the historical aerial photography, although much of this has subsequently been levelled by ploughing.
The Cotswold Hills region was extensively cultivated in the past, as it still is today. Aerial survey can reveal some of the innovations and changing farming practices which were adopted in the agricultural revolution of the 17th and 18th centuries. Along many of the valley bottoms there are extensive and well-preserved water meadows dating to the post-medieval period.
Second World War

The Hawthorn Blues by Richard Nye. For flute, B-flat clarinet, piano. Score & parts. Composed 2012. 32 pages. Duration 6:00. Published by Lighthouse Music Publications (LH.LMP-CM1206). The Hawthorn Blues was written as a gift to friends of the composer, the Walker family. Their house, "Hawthorns" has been home to their four children so it seemed fitting to write a piece with that in mind. Richard Nye scored the piece for the instruments the children played and composed music that he hopes they will still enjoy later in life.

Mandolin Blues with Tim Williams by Tim Williams. Boxed. Intermediate. DVD. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.TWDVD02). A Lesson in How To Play Blues Mandolinwith Master Musician Tim WilliamsImagine, if you can, a front porch where Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, Hula Hattie, Flaco Jimenez and Bob Marley meet often and discover just how much they have in common. Tim's music would fit right in. Tim is a blues-based singer / multi - instrumentalist. He is a 40 year veteran of the 'Roots' music scene in North America, roots which stretch back to the coffee-house scene of his native California in the mid 60's. Settling in Canada in 1970, Tim is a studio musician, producer, and a performer in constant demand. He has taught at music camps throughout North Ameica as well.Inspired by the Hillbilly and Western Swing music he heard as a child, Tim absorbed late Fifties Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll, Hawaiian and Mexican music, early Sixties Folk, and Bluegrass like a sponge before discovering a passion for traditional blues styles which was fueled by seeing many first generation blues musicians live during the Blues Boom of the mid and late Sixties. Tim's abilities as a blues mandolinist and a teacher just scratch the surface of his many musical talents.In this concise, accessible lesson, Tim will have you playing blues mandolin in no time. Perfect for mandolin players or guitarists wanting to pick up some mandolin chops, this intermediate leveled lesson is a great primer for anyone wanting to explore the blues side of the mandolin. Topics covered include: tremelos and double stops boogie woogie bass and other bass patterns for the mandolin movable chord patterns for various keys blues in G, D, A and E for the mandolin slow and fast versions of Sittin On Top Of The World, Custard Pie and Statesboro Blues turnarounds minor blues St James Infirmary and much, much more!

Fingerpicking Blues Guitar Arrangements in Vestapol Tuning by Stefan Grossman. Boxed. Grossman Guitar Workshop. Beginning. DVD. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.GW1011DVD). The Open D Tuning (D A D F# A D), also referred to as the Vestapol tuning, is a powerful andevocative tuning that was widely used by guitarists in the 1920s to play country blues, ballads,rags and folk tunes. In this lesson I focus on arranging fi ve of my favorite blues melodiesin Vestapol plus an original instrumental.The religious tune When I Lay My Burden Down was in the repertoire of both Black andWhite traditional guitarists. I have arranged it in an Elizabeth Cotten/Mississippi John Hurtstyle. The beautiful blues Goin' To Germany was recorded by the Cannon's Jug Stompers inthe 1920s. I have always wanted to fi nd the right setting for this melodic country blues andthe Vestapol tuning gave me the feel and textures that I was looking for. Sam McGee playedguitar behind Uncle Dave Macon when he recorded, I've Got The Morning Blues in Vestapol.This is a fun tune to play and leads nicely in to Hesitation Blues, a song recorded by manyartists. My arrangement tries to combine a sliding jug sound with some funky blues licks. PegLeg Howell's Skin Game Blues is a rare example of an early blues song with three distinctsections. Peg Leg played this with a bottleneck but for our arrangement we will rely on ourfi ngers to make the notes sing out. We fi nish the lesson with Innocence Abroard. An originalinstrumental that ties together the right and left hand techniques we have studied.A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF fi le on the DVD. Bonus audio tracks ofthe original 1920s recordings are included. These are the records I fi rst heard that infl uencedme to rearrange the melodies to the Vestapol tuning.

Limehouse Blues arranged by Henry Wolking. For saxophone quintet. Medium - difficult. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.65044).

Soloists: Piano, Drums, and optional from the above. This supersax style chart is based on the transcribed solo of John Coltrane in the classic performance from the Cannonball Adderly Quintet In Chicago recording. The form follows that of the recording except for the final two trade four choruses between Cannonball and Cotrane, which are not included. Coltranes two full choruses and the trade eights solos are harmonized for five saxes. As the original tenor solo is too low for a full section harmonization, the solo is taken up an octave and played on the soprano sax (which is supported by two altos and two tenors). The solo sections featuring Cannonball may be played by any one of the saxes or by the optional trumpet or trombone. This is a great chart, and outstanding showcase for an exceptional sax section.

Soloists: piano, tenor sax, trumpet.Trpt. 1 to written high C.5/44G/P/B/D.

One of the neighbor's lambs was killed by a coyote Saturday. Anyone had any run-ins with those critters? Any suggestions to get rid of them? I've not done any coyote hunting but may have to take up the hobby.
2 thoughts on "Coyotes"
Yup they are smart and wiley. Usually killing one or two from a pack will make them move on for a couple months.
Not much you can do to stop em besides killing em. I haven't been in several years but my best friend and I used to coyote hunt all the time when we were younger. A squealing rabbit or mouse call is what we used to call em in. Its amazing sometimes how fast they'll come towards that sound.

Larry Williams on Hot Handed Trading and Benn Steil on Treasury Auction Fails
Here's what's in your Prime Interest today:
The latest on Bloomberg-gate, as we've dubbed it — is that they allegedly misrepresented the truth. The scandal erupted when it surfaced that Bloomberg reporters were skimming personal data from Bloomberg's prominent clients. The firm claimed they *fixed* the problem two years ago. However, a review by an independent firm has revealed otherwise.
And what would that independent firm be? None other than prominent shadow regulator, Promontory Financial Group. Yes, the very firm that signed off on MF Global's risk controls before Jon Corzine blew up the firm with customer money. Apparently, antiquated Excel spreadsheets and human memory were good enough for Promontory, then. Imagine what passes now.
Switching gears, yesterday the Fed release its last meeting's minutes. But it's just more of the same — maybe the Fed will taper, maybe it won't. There is, however, more relevant Fed news that's flying under the radar. They've appealed a ruling asking them to lower transaction fees every time we swipe our debit cards. Unfortunately, these lower transaction fees have already passed costs onto consumers. Bob talks to Benn Steil, author of the Battle of Bretton Woods, about our global markets. Then Bob interviews with veteran futures trader, Larry Williams. They talk about how he turned $10,000 into over a million dollars in a trading competition in 1987.
Plus when the Fed began talking about tapering last April, many investors became worried. Then, no surprise, Treasury yields shot up. Since, May of this year 10 year yields are are up 130 basis points. Justine charts what's called the "carry trade." Finally we duel Breaking the Set Producer, Ameera David over stealth clothing. There is more or less than you think.

John Fogerty Sends Concert Tickets to Fan Seeking 'Miracle'
Craigslist boasts a user base estimated at more than 60 million people, and some of them evidently work for John Fogerty.
Just ask longtime Fogerty fan Bianca Curnane, who found herself desperately wanting to attend the former Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman's June 27 tour stop in Philadelphia, but lacked the funds to pay for passes. In a last-ditch effort, she turned to Craigslist, posting an ad seeking "miracle tickets" to the show.
"Just don't have the means to get tickets right now and am a HUGE CCR fan," explained Curnane's post. "With the impending storms, I thought maybe some people would back out and not be able to sell their tickets on such short notice. Good karma. Thank you in advance."
If karma is real, Curnane clearly has some of the good stuff stored up, because members of Fogerty's team happened to discover her ad — and responded by not only fulfilling her request, but sending her a pair of front-row tickets that came in an envelope reading "Believe in little miracles."
The only string attached to Fogerty's gift was a request that Curnane call his reps the following day to report back regarding how much she enjoyed the show. No word yet on her concert review, but we're guessing she offered plenty of positive feedback. Fogerty, who's prepping a fall release for his autobiography Fortunate Son: My Life, My Music, remains on the road with his 1969 Tour through early August.
