I2P dev meeting, December 4, 2012 @ 20:00 UTC
Quick recap
- Present:
dg, hottuna, KillYourTV, lillith, Meeh, psi, str4d, weltende, zzz
- Next Meeting
The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 11 @ 20:00 UTC (8:00PM)
Tam IRC Günlüğü
20:18:53 * KillYourTV has noticed that we're 17 minutes into the meeting...and we're off to a quiet start...
20:19:31 <lillith> i was wondering that, did i also get the wrong time or something?
20:20:23 * dg is waiting for self to be free
20:20:30 <dg> some stuff needs wrapping up first
20:20:33 <dg> sorry
20:20:39 <dg> you guys can start without me if you need to
20:23:07 * KillYourTV 's mostly going to be an observer due to his rather insignificant & unimportant roles...
20:23:15 <KillYourTV> ...so start times matter not.
20:23:39 <Meeh> I will be here, but I can wait until dg is ready
20:23:42 <str4d> I wonder if it would be possible to have two IRC leaf connections to the same leaf to reduce netsplits...
20:23:48 <dg> As long as nobody's becoming annoyed, I'll wait a little longer
20:23:59 <dg> Hopefully $task won't be too much longer
20:24:02 <str4d> (without doubling up on messages)
20:24:05 <dg> str4d: not without srs mods to IRCd
20:24:16 <dg> (or i2p hax?)
20:24:22 * KillYourTV nices his tasks to give more CPU time to dg
20:25:07 <str4d> There are already I2P mods for the IRCd so why not redundancy?
20:25:50 <dg> actually
20:25:50 <str4d> I guess it depends on the IRCd
20:26:04 <dg> I kind of see the amount of IRC splits as a way of measuring network health
20:26:19 <dg> For me, it says something about tunnel success :-P
20:27:07 <str4d> Speaking of which.
20:27:30 <KillYourTV> I don't know what mods were applied and why they were needed. (Back in the day ngircd needed a brief mod for b32 displaying...but with webirc it's not needed (and they're not displayed here anyway))
20:28:00 <str4d> -_-
20:49:54 <psi> orion: re: c++ i2p you mind if i add a build system to your code? probably scons
20:54:16 <dg> I'm ready
20:54:27 <dg> Sorry for the delay, folks
20:55:01 * dg pings #i2p-dev
21:03:16 <str4d> o/ dg
21:04:09 <hottuna> 'lo dg
21:05:07 <iRelay> <weltende@freenode> *waves*
21:05:53 <psi> yay
21:05:56 * psi timed out
21:11:17 <hottuna> ready dg?
21:13:23 <dg> sorry, I d/c'd
21:13:26 <dg> What did I miss?
21:13:26 <dg> <+iRelay> <weltende@freenode> *waves*
21:13:26 <dg> »» chanserv gives voice to psi
21:13:26 <dg> <+psi> yay
21:13:26 <dg> »» +psi timed out
21:13:26 <dg> »» s-771 is now known as s-77
21:13:26 <dg> <+dg> yay!
21:13:26 <dg> <+dg> Everyone woke up for me<3
21:13:27 <dg> <+dg> weltende: Any news regarding mailing list? plz have some for me
21:13:27 <Meeh> *waves*
21:13:27 <hottuna> I dont think you missed anything
21:13:27 <psi> yup
21:13:27 <dg> alrighty
21:13:27 <dg> So, weltende: ..
21:14:37 <iRelay> <weltende@freenode> not really.. no time so far
21:14:47 <iRelay> <weltende@freenode> kytv could do it.. he has root access to the box I had in mind afair ;-)
21:14:50 * dg waits a few minutes
21:15:41 * dg pokes KillYourTV
21:17:30 <iRelay> <weltende@freenode> dg: and more cowbell!
21:17:34 <iRelay> <weltende@freenode> err.. structure
21:18:02 * dg was never any good at that, but he'll try
21:18:12 * dg moves on
21:18:15 <dg> KillYourTV: ping when back
21:18:21 <dg> So, status updates.
21:18:40 * str4d has ~40 mins, so GTFG fg ;P
21:18:40 <KillYourTV> hmm? I didn't realize I had root but I can to throw some time at it (coursework & moving has taken up a considerable bit of time)
21:18:40 <dg> Are they worth bringing back since we have the meetings (and hopefully the summaries of them, but they're not working out right now)?
21:19:15 <str4d> dg, who would the status updates be for?
21:19:22 <str4d> s/for/aimed at/
21:19:25 <iRelay> str4d meant: dg, who would the status updates be aimed at?
21:19:34 <dg> Well, I assume the previous ones which jrandom maintained were for those who wanted a TL;DR of the meetings
21:20:06 <dg> Perhaps what we did with the last meeting (on the website) where the results were summarized at the top of the page
21:20:31 <hottuna> They would be nice for the sake of community-building, but also a bit of work.
21:20:49 * dg doesn't think it's a necessity as such but it'd be nice to say what the meeting accomplished/decided
21:21:32 <hottuna> Would anyone like to do it?
21:22:01 <str4d> On the site revamp I've taken the status updates as "blog entries"
21:22:05 <str4d> So it might be better to write those, or structure the status updates as such.
21:22:20 <hottuna> that sounds pretty good
21:22:57 <str4d> (And since the blog will end up with RSS or whatever, that can then be used to feed into any other distribution lines that are desired)
21:23:24 <psi> point 1: to consider, CCC
21:23:27 <lillith> i was thinking after a meeting we could have a new thread on zzz.i2p, to allow people to reply with any follow up things from what has been discussed
21:23:30 <psi> how will "this side" organize?
21:23:55 <hottuna> I support the blog idea, however someone would have to do it.
21:24:50 <psi> oh damn lag
21:25:27 <str4d> And the status updates don't need to necessarily be too "minutes-y", since the meetings section of the revamp is where actual minutes should go (and I'm thinking that the minutes could be put into a feed as well, while the full logs are displayed with the minutes on the site)
21:26:10 <zzz> dg, fyi, jr's status updates were sent out hours before each meeting, and they were not minutes of the previous meeting
21:26:55 <str4d> Ah, thanks zzz - so more of a general get-everyone-up-to-speed-before-the-meeting update.
21:27:10 <zzz> correct
21:27:39 <zzz> dg, fyi, jr's status updates were sent out hours before each meeting, and they were not minutes of the previous meeting
21:28:00 <dg> zzz: ah ok, it was a tl;dr of the $week?
21:28:03 <dg> <+dg> Moving on?
21:28:03 <dg> <+dg> psi: ccc is on the agenda :)
21:28:03 <dg> ---» aquarium (grenze@irc2p) has joined #i2p-dev
21:28:06 <dg> «--- w8rabbit (w8rabbit@irc2p) has quit (Killed (nickserv (Nick kill enforced)))
21:28:06 <zzz> <str4d> Ah, thanks zzz - so more of a general get-everyone-up-to-speed-before-the-meeting update.
21:28:06 <zzz> <zzz> correct
21:28:09 <dg> <+dg> Next topic: * PR management role (http://zzz.i2p/topics/1299)
21:28:09 <dg> <+dg> I don't know if the guy who posted that is here..
21:28:09 <str4d> dg, repost: And the status updates don't need to necessarily be too "minutes-y", since the meetings section of the revamp is where actual minutes should go (and I'm thinking that the minutes could be put into a feed as well, while the full logs are displayed with the minutes on the site)
21:28:24 <str4d> Yes he is - orion?
21:28:34 <hottuna> dg, would you be willing to write a status update before meetings in the blog?
21:29:16 <str4d> (he's in-chan at least)
21:29:23 <str4d> And FTR this is the guy working on I2PCPP
21:30:15 * psi is compiling i2pcpp
21:31:12 <psi> i am also looking at the code as well
21:32:58 <psi> i've got a SConstruct file
21:36:03 <dg> damn rats eating the cables
21:36:03 <dg> [repost]
21:36:03 <dg> <+psi> i've got a SConstruct file
21:36:05 <dg> <+dg> str4d:
21:36:05 <dg> <+dg> * Website revamp updates
21:36:05 <dg> <+dg> Anything?
21:36:08 <dg> [/repost]
21:36:12 <str4d> dg, need m0ar stables
21:36:15 <str4d> =P
21:36:21 <dg> :(
21:36:36 <str4d> dg, I've got per-net urls working
21:36:59 <dg> oh nice, progress
21:37:02 <dg> How did you do it?
21:37:06 * psi note to self don't compile with -j8 on a machine with 4 cores
21:37:13 <str4d> So in the page files, if you put <a href="http://{{ i2pconv(trac.i2p2.i2p) }}/"> it will convert to trac.i2p2.de
21:37:32 <str4d> And likewise for any other sites that have (hardcoded) known public urls.
21:37:39 <str4d> Otherwise it appends .to
21:38:16 <str4d> dg, problem was that Flask was caching filters applied to strings.
21:38:19 <str4d> So it was eval-ed on first template read and then stored.
21:38:39 <iRelay> <weltende@freenode> psi: unless it does multiple threads per core ;)
21:38:43 <str4d> Turning the filter into a context processor (so the func is eval-ed on every request) did the job.
21:38:46 <dg> Oh, ha
21:39:34 <str4d> I can try generalize the function so you pass in the entire URL and it finds and changes the domain bit, if people would prefer to use it that way.
21:39:45 <str4d> But it Works For Now (TM)
21:40:01 <dg> psi:
21:40:04 <dg> * CCC workshop/lightning talk discussion
21:40:28 <psi> yes
21:40:39 * psi reviews zzz.i2p link
21:40:58 <str4d> (aside: Once I get some free time (after getting the bugs out of the feed mechanism) I'd like to work out the download mirroring stuff with welterde.)
21:42:36 <iRelay> <weltende@freenode> str4d: well.. should be simple enough.. text file in mtn with list of all http, ftp mirrors..
21:44:32 <iRelay> <weltende@freenode> (and in the backend just an rsync master site, from which all mirrors pull)
21:44:40 <hottuna> did we choose a lightning talk topic?
21:44:40 <psi> ok regarding CCC there is 0% chance for me to get the required docs to get there in time
21:44:40 <psi> also... lots of "other stuff"
21:44:40 <psi> in general I am overloaded due to finals
21:44:40 <psi> also lag
21:45:31 <str4d> welterde, I guessed so, but I'm not familiar with the current mirror setup.
21:47:26 <str4d> The other thing, of course, is migrating the rest of the old pages across (and tidying up nav layout)
21:48:06 <dg> <+psi> ok regarding CCC there is 0% chance for me to get the required docs to get there in time
21:48:06 <dg> <+psi> also... lots of "other stuff"
21:48:06 <dg> <+psi> in general I am overloaded due to finals
21:48:06 <dg> <+psi> also lag
21:48:06 <dg> <+dg> Could probably ask the audience who has used i2p before
21:48:09 <dg> <+iRelay> <weltende@freenode> (and in the backend just an rsync master site, from which all mirrors pull)
21:48:09 <dg> <+dg> psi: yeah, ech and welt are going though afaik
21:48:11 <dg> <+str4d> welterde, I guessed so, but I'm not familiar with the current mirror setup.
21:51:57 <str4d> Okay, heading off o/
21:52:13 <dg> bye o/
21:52:28 <dg> We really should have started earlier
21:52:31 <dg> g'damnit
21:52:47 <str4d> I'll see if I can be back in time for the end, but no guarantees.
21:53:35 <dg> alright, stenography
21:53:42 * dg pokes Meeh
21:54:01 <psi> we need a generic interface for making transports
21:54:04 <psi> (imo)
21:54:23 <psi> s/need/should\ have/
21:54:26 <iRelay> psi meant: we should\ have a generic interface for making transports
21:55:08 <Meeh> I'm here, sorry just got disturbed with a phone call, back now
21:55:16 <dg> afaik there's something called "restricted routes" but I don't know how they work
21:55:19 <Meeh> *catchin up/reading log*
21:55:22 <dg> (nor have they been implemented..?)
21:55:28 <dg> Meeh: there isn't too much to read.. :(
21:55:50 <psi> dg no docs on that?
21:56:10 <dg> psi: mention on www.i2p2.i2p is all I found under roadmap or something..
21:56:47 <psi> if anyone happens to remember what "restricted routes" are/were please speak up
21:56:50 <lillith> dg, as i understand it restricted routes are like 'darknet mode' on freenet, you only connect via trusted peers
21:56:57 <psi> ah
21:57:16 <dg> ah
21:57:31 <lillith> i think :)
21:57:34 <psi> sounds like that could be it
21:58:11 <dg> matches the name
21:58:33 <lillith> it's been mentioned on zzz.i2p recently iirc
21:59:40 <psi> if someone who does know for sure from way back when a "confirmation" would be great
22:01:31 <lillith> http://zzz.i2p/topics/114
22:04:31 * dg reads
22:04:31 <lillith> it's not what i meant, but it explains pretty thoroughly
22:06:02 <Meeh> just wondering, where are we in the meeting?
22:06:13 <Meeh> what's current topic
22:06:16 <dg> We're kind of floating around, Meeh
22:06:23 <Meeh> ah ok
22:06:31 <dg> "* Hide I2P traffic. Like Tor, hide so it looks like SSL traffic, or something. (Considering countries where darknets is illegal) "
22:06:41 <dg> (We started late and thus sucking)
22:08:10 <Meeh> yea, we should think about possible alternative transport for countries blocking and making darknets illegal
22:09:47 <lillith> well to start with: how distinctive is i2p traffic now?
22:09:50 <hottuna> I think we ought to play something like that the same way tor does
22:09:50 <hottuna> and deploy it not before it is needed
22:09:50 <hottuna> as to prolong any arms-race
22:09:50 <hottuna> but we haven't been blocked anywhere yet
22:09:50 <hottuna> as far as I know
22:10:05 <dg> (yet)
22:10:25 <dg> Also, the lack of this sort of "protection" i.e system keeps some away from i2p
22:10:32 <psi> in general a generic transport api would be a developer's goldmine
22:10:32 <hottuna> we have a lot of random data, but none of the headers of ssl
22:10:57 <dg> obfsproxy is amazing but we don't need something of that level
22:11:48 <psi> some interface that you'd implement that does your version of data transport wether it's over goats or http+ssl
22:11:50 <iRelay> <weltende@freenode> psi: we already have a generic transport api ;)
22:11:54 <lillith> i2p can't really be 'too secure'
22:12:02 <hottuna> a transport api would be a good idea, and would allow for rapid development of needed transports
22:12:14 <psi> we do eh?
22:12:36 <psi> i need to look at the code closer
22:12:56 <psi> either it's not sticking out well or i over looked it or it's not there
22:13:03 <Meeh> yea, yet.. it's a matter of time
22:13:36 <iRelay> <weltende@freenode> router/java/src/net/i2p/router/transport/Transport.java is the interface you have implement
22:13:36 <dg> certainly not, lillith
22:13:46 <dg> although i2p is already a lot of crypto
22:14:17 <hottuna> i think obfsproxy is horrible, and it's tacked onto tor in the most frankenstein-y fashion possible
22:14:40 <dg> I don't like their pluggable transports but the tech is cool
22:14:48 <dg> (emulating Skype is one cool thing)
22:17:27 <psi> iirc obsproxy can be counter productive
22:17:33 <hottuna> i've gotta go
22:17:46 <psi> due to it emulating a survalence network
22:17:53 * psi spelling
22:18:00 <dg> bye
22:19:55 <psi> i've got to part for now as well
22:20:27 <dg> I think we can just call it a day now and have it next week/sometime soon(er)
22:20:34 <dg> Kind of fucked this one up
22:21:04 <iRelay> <weltende@freenode> sounds like a plan
22:21:07 <psi> it's best to have a predefine meeting structure
22:21:54 <dg> yeah
22:26:10 <Meeh> disconnected...
22:26:29 <Meeh> 23:10:30 <+psi> in general a generic transport api would be a developer's goldmine
22:26:32 <Meeh> 23:10:31 < hottuna> we have a lot of random data, but none of the headers of ssl
22:26:35 <Meeh> 23:13:01 <+Meeh> yea, yet.. it's a matter of time
22:26:38 <Meeh> 23:13:15 <+Meeh> so why make people offline from i2p for a while.. better safe than sorry
22:26:41 <Meeh> what did I miss?
22:27:11 <psi> Meeh: meeting adjurned for now
22:27:11 * psi spelling
22:27:58 <psi> <dg> certainly not, lillith
22:27:58 <Meeh> ah, lame.. meeting next week?
22:28:10 * psi lag
22:28:55 <lillith> Meeh, to be decided, maybe before since this one wasn't a great success
22:29:25 <Meeh> true true, next week then

America is full of baseball pilgrimages and road trips. Fenway Park in Boston turns 100 this year. Wrigleyville, the neighborhood around Wrigley Field in Chicago is the best baseball neighborhood in the country. California has five major league teams to visit. New York City has two major league teams and two minor league ones. Roadtrippers can enjoy the Pioneer League with stops in Montana, Idaho and Utah.
But for me, a road trip from Louisville to Cooperstown is the quintessential baseball journey. From the place where bats were built to its greatest shrine, with stops along the way at great baseball parks, major and minor. All but one day requires less than 200 miles of driving. You'll have to get out the team schedules to match up your drive dates with when teams are playing. But even in early spring or late fall, there's plenty for a fan to see along the way.
—Louisville, Ky.
Baseball's favorite lumber yard
Over 125 years, Hillerich & Bradsby have made over 100 million bats, with the Louisville Slugger wooden bats used by top professionals finished in the old brick factory in downtown Louisville that visitors can tour. It's the one with the six-story tall bat out front. Bats are made of various quality grains of white ash and maple, with the best and tightest grain going to the pros. Though its onetime near-monopoly has been undercut by newcomers like Mizuno and boutique batmakers like Marucci (Albert Pujols' favorite), Louisville Slugger still accounts for 60 percent of the bats used in the American and National Leagues. Along with a museum to the history of the bat, visitors can stop by and have an ash wood bat fashioned with their own name emblazoned on the barrel.
800 W. Main St., Louisville, KY. More info: sluggermuseum.org or 502-588-7228.
—Cincinatti, Ohio
Distance: 100 miles
Home of baseball's oldest franchise.
The Reds' history goes back to the year after the Civil War ended, when a group started the Red Stockings as an amateur club. It went pro in 1882, eight years before the National League was born. The oldest major league club plays at the Great American Ball Park on the banks of the Ohio River. When the Reds hit a home run, a steamboat whistle goes off near the scoreboard. It's usually easy to get walk-up tickets except for games against the Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals and Cleveland Indians. The Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame is adjacent and open even when the Reds are out of town.
100 Joe Nuxhall Way, Cincinnati, OH. More info: cincinnati.reds.mlb.com or 513-381-7337.
—Columbus, Ohio
Distance: 106 miles
Baseball's best minor league team
The Columbus Clippers are the reigning champs of the highest level of minor leagues, having won the Triple-A Baseball National Championship Game for the second straight year in 2011. Now affiliated with the Cleveland Indians, the team formerly was affiliated for nearly three decades with the New York Yankees. The team plays in 10,100-seat Huntington Park, which has won accolades for incorporating an old sawmill and other industrial buildings beyond its fences into the park layout.
330 Huntington Park Lane, Columbus, OH. More info: clippersbaseball.com or 614-462-5250
—Pittsburgh, Pa.
Distance: 185 miles
The best new ballpark in America
The Pirates have been perennial losers in the National League, but their stadium is the best modern stadium in the major leagues. When they decided to move from Three Rivers Stadium, the Pirates wisely realized that their fan base wouldn't support a huge ballpark. Instead they built a two-tiered instant classic that incorporates the city's steel-making history into its design. Its capacity of 38,496 makes it the second smallest stadium after Boston's Fenway Park. The view across the Allegheny River to downtown Pittsburgh is one of the best backdrops in baseball. The city turns its attention to football and the Steelers beginning in late summer and seats are even easier to come by. Even the worst seats are just 88 feet from the playing field. It's a 444-foot distance from home plate to the river, reachable by some power hitters (though usually on a bounce on the riverside walkway).
115 Federal St., Pittsburgh, PA. More info: pittsburgh.pirates.mlb.com or 412-321-BUCS
—Harrisburg, Pa.
Distance: 203 miles
The Harrisburg Senators play in one of the most unusual settings, the modern Metro Bank Park on City Island, in the middle of the Susquehanna River. The team is a AA affiliate of the Washington Nationals. Visitors to the stadium over the past two years have seen two of baseball's top prospects, pitcher Stephen Strasburg and outfielder Bryce Harper, play for the team. It's an easy walk from the ballpark to the Pennsylvania state capital or the many bars and restaurants along State and Front streets.
245 Championship Way, Harrisburg, PA. More info: senatorsbaseball.com or 717-231-4444
—South Williamsport, Pa.
Distance: 85 miles
Home of the Little League World Series.
Each summer since 1947, teams from across the country and later, around the world, have come to this town in rural central Pennsylvania in the Little League World Series tournament. Games are played at Little League Volunteer Stadium and Howard J. Lamade Stadium, both located in South Williamsport, and televised around the world. Last year, Huntington Beach Ocean View beat Japan to win the crown.
This year's tournament will run Aug. 16-26. Tickets for World Series games have already been sold through littleleague.org, with entries closing at the end of March. Tickets will go on sale again next winter. Other times of the year, visitors can stop in Little League's museum and Hall of Excellence.
Nearby Williamsport is home to the Crosscutters, a short-season A-level team in the New York-Penn League, who are affiliated with the Philadelphia Phillies. They play in Bowman Field, erected in 1926. Williamsport has seen its pro baseball fortunes rise and fall several times over the decades, so visit soon since things seems to be on the upswing.
Little League: http://www.littleleague.org. The museum is located at 525 Route 15 Highway, South Williamsport, PA. More info: littleleague.org/learn/museum.htm or 570-326- 3607
—Binghamton, N.Y.
Distance: 139 miles
Through the baseball bat forest.
The road north out of Williamsport takes drivers into the rural "T" of Pennsylvania, the area made up of everything outside of Pittsburgh in the southwest and Philadelphia in the southeast. Farm country gives way to the Appalachian Mountains. Here, on the border between the Keystone State and Empire State are the forests of pine and ash that are turned into baseball bats. Most of the operations are to the west of our route, around the Larimer & Norton lumber company in Russell, Penn. Each day, two truckloads of logs from the company are turned into 8,000 "billets" — basically tube shaped wood cores ready to be made into bats, which are then shipped to Louisville for the final fashioning of the bat. Think of all the home runs in those endless miles of trees as you drive over the border to Binghamton, where you can catch a game of the Binghamton Mets, the AA affiliate of the New York Mets. The "B-Mets" play at NYSEG Park.

Baseball how it used to be
Built in 1939, Historic Damaschke Field is on the endangered ballpark list. The minor-league Oneonta Tigers blew town for Norwich, Conn., in 2010. But the park has stayed alive with the Oneonta Outlaws, part of the New York Collegiate Baseball League, a 12-team summer league for college players. The Outlaws won the 2011 league championship. The ballpark claims some of the closest seats to the action in professional baseball. Teams have played on the site since 1906 and the backdrop of the forested hills beyond the outfield wall is one of the prettiest in the region. For our road trip, it's a great stop because it's just a half hour to the end of the line.

Baseball's holy of holys
The legend goes that an Army officer named Abner Doubleday invented the national pastime in a cow pasture on Elihu Phinney's Cooperstown farm in 1839. It is up there with George Washington chopping down a cherry tree when it comes to American myths that have been debunked. But the idea held long enough for Cooperstown to be selected as the site of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. It would be worth a visit just for the hall and the adjacent museum, a treasure house of bats, balls, gloves, seats, hats and other souvenirs from great and infamous moments in the games history.
But the town itself has a 19th century feel that will appeal to any baseball fan, the most nostalgic of any sport. Special games are still played at Doubleday Field, built in the 1920s on part of Phinney's farm. The Hall of Fame Classic, featuring two teams, including Hall of Famers, is played every Father's Day weekend. A great time to visit is during the playoffs, when fall foliage wraps the towns in leafy reds, golds and browns.

America is full of baseball pilgrimages and road trips. Fenway Park in Boston turns 100 this year. Wrigleyville, the neighborhood around Wrigley Field in Chicago is the best baseball neighborhood in the country. California has five major league teams to visit. New York City has two major league teams and two minor league ones. Roadtrippers can enjoy the Pioneer League with stops in Montana, Idaho and Utah.

Mercedes ConceptFASCINATION to Debut in Paris
Mercedes-Benz will show its ConceptFASCINATION at the 2008 Paris Motor Show next month, further watering down the definition of a coupé and more importantly, previewing key elements of the next E-Class.
Mercedes said the ConceptFASCINATION's proportions "interpret the emotional appeal of a coupé in a new way." In fact, the concept comes off as a cross between a conventional sedan and a three door wagon. The squared-off hood, grill and headlamps seem to share more with the latest C-Class models than the current E- Class, while its missing B-pillars and steeply raked roofline clearly take cues from the CLS Coupe.
Under its skin the ConceptFASCINATION provides us further hints at the future. It rides on the next generation E-Class Coupe platform, and is powered by Mercedes' new 2.2-liter 204 hp diesel engine, which is being introduced to Europeans this fall in the C 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY.
Inside the concept introduces a few interesting packaging details, most notably its inclusion of both a refrigerated compartment and a humidor.

Minister Responsible for Novopay Steven Joyce today released the PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) report for Pay Period 24 of the schools' payroll.
Pay Period 24, which was paid on the morning of 20 February, paid 78,351 staff a total of $160.03 million. This was 3,978 more staff than Pay Period 23 and reflects the seasonal growth in the payroll at this time of the year.
The PwC report shows there were complaints and notifications received regarding 1.9 per cent of staff across the country. 777 staff were notified as not paid, 231 were overpaid, and 471 underpaid. Affected staff were from 447 schools around the country.
The Pay Period 24 data compares with 2.2 per cent of staff and 628 schools about which complaints and notifications were received in Pay Period 23. Mr Joyce says indications are there will be similar levels of errors recorded for Pay Period 25 while efforts are on-going to get the system successfully stabilised.
"We are continuing to see huge numbers of transactions in every pay period. The seasonal increase in new starts alongside the substantial re-work required in each pay period places considerable pressure on the pay system. All parties involved are working hard to resolve issues ahead of pay going through each fortnight," Mr Joyce says.
Last weekend the first in a series of three planned releases to address some of the most significant software bugs in the Novopay system was made under the Remediation Plan. A total of 78 defects were successfully resolved.
The second release, which is planned for three weeks' time, is scheduled to resolve 140 bugs. At this stage the third release, set for April, will target another 50 bugs. Exact numbers will be confirmed closer to the release dates.
"The three releases planned for February, March and April are designed to reduce the level of pay calculation errors, improve the reporting to schools, and provide some initial improvements in the user interface. This will lower the level of re-work required for school administrators," Mr Joyce says.
"As I noted last week we have asked the Technical Review team to evaluate the software remediation plan as part of their work and give us an opinion on whether that will address the identified issues with the system.
"I am expecting to receive a draft report on the technical review from reviewer Murray Jack in the next day or so. Evaluating the Remediation Plan will slightly lengthen the time before the final report is received but will give us a better understanding of our options.
"The on-going problems with Novopay are frustrating for everyone involved but they are complex to resolve and there is no quick fix. I appreciate the extra effort that principals, school administrators and other staff are putting in to resolve issues and I thank them for their continued hard work and patience."

It has been a cold winter of late in the Northeast and given the option I'd like to spend every evening curled up in front of the fireplace with a steaming hot bowl of rich hearty soup. Give me an "everything soup" – start with the chicken & herbs and simply throw everything you can imagine in – ahh, the best. Now you want to have a nice glass of wine in front of your fireplace with the aforementioned bowl of soup, but which wine to choose?
Pairing wine with soup can be a challenge for wine lovers; with the overpowering nature of a rich soup and the similar liquidy texture between the two. The first rule, as always, is to drink whatever wine you like. But if you want to work a little outside the box you can turn to some underappreciated wines; sparkling & fortified.
When considering sparkling wine the associations are automatically champagne & celebratory events. I'd encourage you to consider trying a sparkling wine any time and turning to those made outside of the Champagne region of France (similar to champagne but legally not allowed to be called "Champagne"), such as Cava from Spain, Prosecco from Italy, or simply sparkling wine made in places such as Israel or California. When done right, the texture of the little bubbles in a sparkling wine combined with its bracing dry acidity make sparkling wines "food neutral" – as in they compliment ANYTHING. Looking to the "old world" you can seek out the French Blanc de Blanc by Herzog, the slightly sweet Bartenura Brut Prosecco from Italy or the bone dry ELVI "Adar" Brut Cava from Spain.
Another option for fireplace sipping, also unheralded, is "Port", a fortified wine from Portugal. Often sweet and generally fortified with a neutral grape spirit such as grappa or brandy, this wine screams warm slippers & fireplace sipper. The fortification of the wine leads to a higher alcohol level than regular table wines. And said heavier alcohol makes for a similar textural contrast as the aforementioned sparkling wines – making for a heart warming combination with soup. Try the Porto Cordovero from Portugal or Israel's Vintage Port made by Carmel.
It's cold outside but these underappreciated wine styles paired with that steamy bowl of soup and a crackling fireplace can ensure that you are nice and warm inside.

Goldman Sachs misled clients and Congress about the firm's bets on securities tied to the housing market, the chairman of the U.S. Senate panel that investigated the causes of the financial crisis said.
Senator Carl Levin, releasing the findings of a two-year inquiry yesterday, said he wants the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission to examine whether Goldman Sachs violated the law by misleading clients who bought the complex securities known as collateralized debt obligations without knowing the firm would benefit if they fell in value.
The Michigan Democrat also said federal prosecutors should review whether to bring perjury charges against Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein and other current and former employees who testified in Congress last year. Levin said they denied under oath that Goldman Sachs took a financial position against the mortgage market solely for its own profit, statements the senator said were untrue.
"In my judgment, Goldman clearly misled their clients and they misled the Congress," Levin said at a press briefing yesterday where he and Senator Tom Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican, discussed the 640-page report from the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

I have kernel 4.12 working just fine compiled from source. However if I try to enable BFQ support, RPi fails to boot. In fact it does not seem to be able to grok the sdcard at all.
In the cmdline.txt I simply changed elevator=deadline to elevator=bfq and compiled the kernel with the BFQ options. There's also some other discussion about scsi option in cmdline and making UDEV rule but neither of these helped.
So, 4.12.11 kernel for RPi just doesn't work with BFQ?

Years ago I was desperate for answers. My body-mind-spirit was skidding down hill fast. The symptoms, Sugarpie, you don't want to know about. Suffice it to say that Pepto Bismol was my true companion.
What I knew?
That a diagnosis of IBS with lactose intolerance was getting me nowhere. I wasn't feeling better eating more wheat germ and whole grains for fiber, like the doc instructed. In fact, I was feeling worse. Lactose enzymes did absolutely nothing. And the bread and pasta I was told to consume seemed to trigger more pain.
My intuition told me gluten might be a culprit after my first cousin was diagnosed with celiac disease. When I searched my symptoms on the Internet I discovered I was not alone. Gluten is an issue for roughly three million Americans. And having a family member diagnosed with celiac disease upped my odds considerably.
I called my nurse practitioner and asked if gluten might be the illusive enemy we were searching for. "Maybe..." was her one word answer. I thought I heard her yawning. I asked if we could try a gluten-free trial to see if my symptoms abated. "See you in two weeks," she answered.
That was four years ago today. The day I went gluten-free.
I knew within 48 hours I was on to something.
By the third day I was symptom free and already envisioning a life without gluten and pain. The difference in my body was dramatic and immediate- and I wanted more of it. I consider myself lucky that I have obvious and attention-getting symptoms (to even the tiniest amount of gluten protein). The symptoms made my decision to go gluten-free an easy one. (Read about the ease and importance of testing here at Celiac Central.)
There were inadvertent bumps along the way to living totally gluten-free. I neglected to check on an herbal tea once and was "glutened" by roasted barley. Lip balm did not register on my gluten radar at first; it was four weeks before I checked my lip balm label (lurking in the fine print: wheat germ oil and wheat bran).
Not thinking, I still used my old cutting board (saturated with wheat flour proteins). I was contaminated at a friend's house while eating my own gluten-free pumpkin soup. Why? I brought the soup and a stainless steel ladle; she stirred it with her ancient wooden spoon.
There's a definite learning curve when it comes to living gluten free.
There's a definite learning curve when it comes to living gluten free.
The good news is: it gets easier. Much easier. And as energy levels return, and life expands beyond planning rest room strategies and swigging Pepto Bismol for breakfast, you begin to comprehend just how awful you felt for so long. And how many odd and mysterious symptoms you took for granted as "normal". And how many insidious ways gluten affects and triggers the body's autoimmune system (digestive, cognitive, visual, neural, hormonal).
Gluten- the elastic protein in wheat, rye, spelt and barley- can cause impaired agility, balance and gait, lessen vitamin, mineral and protein absorption, diminish lactose, fructose and fat digestion, and whittle away bone integrity. Not to mention, energy and stamina. It can even trigger depression, migraines, skin rashes, brain lesions and seizures in certain individuals.
Scary stuff.
The last
As awareness grows, gluten-free products are becoming more widely available (my favorite baking and pancake mix is Pamela's) and better tasting (see my gluten free brownie mix review).
GF life is good and getting better.
These four years gluten-free have been a slow but steady climb toward healing and regaining strength, clarity, and stamina. I've come a long way. And I've developed quite a passion for gluten-free cooking.
So today, in honor of my Gluten-Free Anniversary, I just may have a cupcake for breakfast.

Imagine squinting into the shimmering Serengeti horizon and seeing a herd of wildebeest trundle into view. They're moving slowly, stopping every now and then to graze on what's left of the parched savannah. At first, they number a couple of dozen, but as you watch, tens become hundreds, and hundreds become thousands. And still they come – a snorting, braying mass, relentlessly marching north in search of food. This is the wildebeest migration, and watching it play out on the sweeping plains of Tanzania's Serengeti National Park is unforgettable.
The statistics are staggering: in May each year, over 2.5 million animals, mostly wildebeest but also several hundred thousand zebras and antelopes, set out on a three-month journey from the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti to Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve. On the way, they'll cover some 800km of open plains and croc-infested rivers, running the gauntlet of predators such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas and hunting dogs.
By June, the herds have passed deep into the park's Western Corridor and are nervously starting to cross the Grumeti River. This is the migration at its most savage – and the defining moment of countless wildlife documentaries – as the reluctant wildebeest gather at the riverbank, too scared to go any further, until the mass behind them is so intense that they spill down into the water and are suddenly swimming, scraping and fighting in a desperate attempt to get across. Many are injured or drowned in the mayhem, while huge Nile crocodiles pick off the weak and unwary.
Those that do make it are still some 65km from the Mara River, the last and brutal barrier between them and the rain-ripened grasses of the Masai Mara. Once there, they'll have three months to eat their fill before going through it all over again on the return journey south.
The best time to see the migration in the Serengeti is between December and July; for the river crossings, visit in June (Grumeti) and July or August (Mara). Check out www.andbeyond.com/advice/africa/kenya/masai-mara-national-park/how-do-i-find-the-great-migration/ for up-to-date reports on the location of the herds.

User:Pranav Rathi/Notebook/OT/2010/04/20/Super easy way to straighten and align two laser beams simultaneously
Super easy way to straighten and align any two laser beams (visible and IR) simultaneously on the top of each other
YAHOO…..YA…BA…DA…DOOOOO……..Today I made a major breakthrough in Tweezers alignment: First I was able to align the HE-NE with IR, second I invented a super easy way (Two End Apertures Thread Alignment TEATA)with web cams, to do it. It is so easy that it is almost boring. Now we are able to align telescope, periscope mirrors, steer assembly and objective with HE-NE, while IR sitting right on the top.
Labview-program to assist laser alignment
I wrote a software in LabVIEW called Laser alignment 3D. This software can be used with any USB camera for onsite indirect or direct viewing of laser beams. The 3D graph help to align and overlap the two beams (in this case He-Ne and IR).
The set-up for TEATA is as follows: File:Video 1.wmv
The goal of the set-up is to straighten and align the beams in x (horizontal to the set-up plain) and y (direction normal to the plain) directions, overlapping each other. According to the set-up I used two apertures, a sewing thread and two web cams. First aperture and web cam is installed next to the upstream IR-mirror with an opening size of the beam, next aperture and web cam is downstream roughly 70cms away. The thread is running right through the two apertures. Both the apertures are mounted on the vertical-expendable posts.
Following steps:
- IR spot is seen on the first aperture (upstream aperture; next to the IR mirror), both the aperture and up-stream IR mirror are adjusted such the beam goes right through the first aperture.
- Now the second aperture height and opening is corrected by putting it next to the first (this way both the apertures have same opening's height). Next the second aperture is moved to the downstream with a thread going through it. Next it is moved in x direction such that the thread is aligned with the holes on the optical table (this is done by eye-balling the thread with holes on the optical table in the back ground). Once this is done, the second aperture is aligned in the x and y directions with the first.
- Now the beam is adjusted through downstream IR mirror such; it makes its way to the second aperture. When the beam is seen on both apertures through the web cams: one by one upstream and downstream IR is tweaked to make beam go through both up and downstream apertures. Now the IR beam is straight in x and y direction.
- Next red He-Ne beam is put through the IR mirror and aligned with IR beam following the same procedure in step 3. Now both the beams are straight and overlapped.
- In the last step overlapping can be checked by blocking HE-NE on/off.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Easy to set-up and super fast. Beams can be seen on the computer monitor and adjusted with highest precision in no time.
Cons: Little hard to align the thread with optical table holes (working to develop easier and more accurate way to do this).He-Ne is too bright to see faint IR in the camera and on the card, so have to do one by one. High power IR will burn the thread.

Expanding agency benefits from fast, accurate SEO data to support current campaigns and win new business
London, 10 January 2013: Fast growing digital marketing agency LimeTree has signed up to Searchmetrics' online search and social analytics software to support its Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) practice. It is using Searchmetrics to plan and evaluate international organic search campaigns for clients and drive new business activity.
Based in London, LimeTree has doubled turnover and headcount over the last year. Through its transparent operating model, which relies on data and analysis, LimeTree provides organisations of all sizes with high profile SEO campaigns that deliver outstanding results. Clients include FT.com, The Epilepsy Society, Realex Payments and patent lawyers AvidityIP. As well as SEO, LimeTree provides website design and build, creates mobile applications and runs PPC/search engine marketing campaigns.
Following extensive use of other search analytics tools, LimeTree standardised on Searchmetrics due to its accuracy, usability, speed and international reach. The agency relies on Searchmetrics' international search analytics data to support campaigns for clients across the world. The online software Suite provides analyses for all the major search engines in 123 different countries.
Searchmetrics provides the agency with insight to support new business pitches as well as helping with pre-campaign keyword planning and demonstrating the effectiveness of its SEO and social media strategies during campaign reviews.
Moving forward, LimeTree is looking to extend its use of Searchmetrics to manage entire campaigns from within the Suite.
"We have built our business on being 100% open and transparent with our clients – and to do this we need fast, accurate search data, both for research and campaign reviews," said Malcolm Graham, CEO at LimeTree. "We've used a large number of search analytics tools but Searchmetrics is by far the most accurate – we know we can rely on its results when planning and reporting on campaigns. It really understands the international search market, underpinning our work across the world with detailed local market data."
Searchmetrics is an online subscription service that automates many aspects of SEO analysis, monitoring and reporting for agencies and in-house search marketers. It provides search performance data and analysis relating to multiple domains to support campaign measurement and planning.
"LimeTree's fast growth demonstrates the real benefits the agency and its approach provide to clients of all sizes and sectors," said Kevin Thiele, Sales Director, Searchmetrics Northern Europe. "LimeTree understands that SEO success is based on fast, accurate and comprehensive data and by using Searchmetrics it is able to deliver outstanding results as well as support its new business programme."

Call it gentrification
I take it I'm among the interviewees Antoinette Roades accuses of perpetuating "the politically convenient notion that [Fifeville] has always been overwhelmingly black and poor and should remain so" [Letters, October 2: "Fifeville wasn't Fife's"].
This was hardly the gist of my comments. While Fifeville has, in fact, been a predominantly Afro-American neighborhood for a century, it housed a mix of tenants and owner-occupants, just as Rhoades states. But how much longer will it accommodate the working people whose presence she celebrates?
All shibboleths about diversity aside, what we're seeing is the elimination of low-end rental from the core of Charlottesville. Maybe this is a "natural" pattern (though I'm leery of that one). Maybe those being displaced are "undesirable" (though some "poor" people are "working" people too). And maybe they'll be re-housed at the City's fringe– forcing greater reliance on automobiles that poor people can ill afford.
But if this is gentrification, let's call it that, think seriously about the City's role in it, and, in particular, ask how this agenda meshes with the City's professed interest in preservation and "affordable" housing.

Cougars and cubs are all the rage in the land of hookups. But usually the attention is focused on the older woman -- the cougar -- on the prowl for a younger man.
But now the younger partner in the May-December relationship is getting some special attention.
Last year, Rich Gosse organized a convention in the Bay Area in honor of older women attracted to younger men. Now, he's focusing on the youngsters -- who he says are the less-heralded half of the romantic pair.
The National Cub Convention, scheduled for Jan. 30 in Millbrae, is sponsored by Gosse's Society of Single Professionals, which defines a "cougar" as an older woman who is attracted to younger men, or "cubs."
Gosse held the National Cougar Convention in Palo Alto in August. He says it brought about 1,000 people to a hotel that could only fit 400 people into its venue. Grosse is hoping to get a similarly large crowd to this month's event, but doesn't think it will match the size of the Cougar Convention.
Gosse said that while there has been a lot of talk about "cougars" in popular culture, "cubs are sort of an oversight, so we want them to be the focus this time."
The "cubs," legally single men between 21 and 40 years old, will compete for the title of Cutest Cub in America. All the women at the event will each get one vote, and the man receiving the most votes will receive prizes that include a International Cougar Cruise to either the Mexican Riviera or the Bahamas, and the DVD "Spread," which features famous cub Ashton Kutcher and is about a younger man on the prowl with many older women.
Bay City News contributed to this report.

The Patriot Act vests substantial powers in our federal government. The terrorists have used our open society against us. In wartime, government calls for greater powers, and then the need for those powers recedes after the war ends. This struggle will go on. Therefore, while protecting our homeland, Americans should be mindful of threats to vital personal and civil liberties. This shift of power and authority to the government calls for an enhanced system of checks and balances to protect the precious liberties that are vital to our way of life.
Recommendation: As the President determines the guidelines for information sharing among government agencies and by those agencies with the private sector, he should safeguard the privacy of individuals about whom information is shared.
Recommendation: The burden of proof for retaining a particular governmental power should be on the executive, to explain (a) that the power actually materially enhances security and (b) that there is adequate supervision of the executive�s use of the powers to ensure protection of civil liberties. If the power is granted, there must be adequate guidelines and oversight to properly confine its use.
Recommendation: At this time of increased and consolidated government authority, there should be a board within the executive branch to oversee adherence to the guidelines we recommend and the commitment the government makes to defend our civil liberties.

The week has gone by so quickly & I can't believe tomorrow is Friday. The weather is warming up a bit and I think I'll be sorting through Winter clothes this weekend, packing them away for the Summer. Israel got a new bike this week so I'm sure we will also be outside playing quite a bit!
I hope you all have nice plans for the weekend, even if it is something as simple as enjoying the sun and a bit of warmth.

I hope the jet lag is beginning to be just a bad memory. I loved Israel's picture with his new bike: he must be so excited. Eventually spring has arrived to Barcelona: it happened in just two days. Very quick.
Enjoy the week-end!

Hakushaku to Yousei Episode 4
We are back to the coverage of Hakushaku to Yousei! Probably, you've seen this episode already, but what was it really about? Let's listen to Sakura's somewhat disturbing recount 😛 – Kitsune
When we last looked in on this show it seemed Edgar and Lydia were close to finding the Legendary Sword they had been searching for.
Unfortunately for them the creepy Huskley was never far behind and it seems he has caught up to them once again.
But Edgar is always one step ahead of Huskley and his evil schemes and this time is no exception as he thwarts his plans and gets his hand on the Sword of the Merrow. Continue reading "Hakushaku to Yousei Episode 4"
Hakushaku to Yōsei (Earl and Fairy) – Episode 3 – Mellows Island
"Are you sure no-one heard us last night?"
Hi everyone, its me Sakura, ready to provide some commentary for Kitsune's beautiful screen caps 🙂
This is episode where I really started to get into the show in part due to the growing relationship between Edgar and Lydia.
But I also think what I'm finding refreshing is the lack of Japanese demons, not that I don't enjoy shows chock full of Japanese mythology, its just that the European, supernatural flair of this show is just a nice change of flavor.

A thank you to Daniel for making some videos (see below) on explaining this better, but there were a couple things left out. So I will take you through that. (With picture reference).
The first thing you're going to want to do is make an account, which is simple as clicking on the 'Log in' button on the top right, then clicking 'Sign up'.
After you've made your account, the best way to watch bugs is to click on the 'Agile' drop-down menu, and choose 'Classic'.
Now, we're going to want to change a couple things even with this. By default, the 'Classic' mode takes you to 'Classic Planning Board', you want to change this to 'Classic Task Board'. This makes things much easier to read. I also recommend going to the Views eyeball icon to the right and selecting the List issue view, and the Compact (Kanban) task board mode. This will give you a top-level overview of all our bugs and their statuses, and JIRA will remember your view preferences the next time you log in.
After that, we're almost ready to rock and roll. We need to also make sure that you're not set to any version or we'll only see a few bugs. So in case it says '1.1' or '1.0' change it to 'Unscheduled'.
And after all that, you can view and look at bugs that are in queue, To-do, or testing, which Daniel's videos are very great at explaining. Thanks for helping Funtoo Linux better and better.
