Manila, the Philippines
September 26, 2010
"It's not flat!" Karry, my Japanese friend, exclaimed as she was looking up at the ceiling of San Agustin Church in Manila. That one sentence proved that the church's ceiling mural had fooled yet another gazer. And that is exactly what a trompe l'oeil (click here for the pronunciation) painting intends to do. The term is French for "deception of the eye." It is a technique in visual arts that renders images on a flat surface to be realistically three-dimensional, and it has been used for centuries. Kids, 3D was not invented by James Cameron.

Here's good news for anyone who's posted any pictures or messages to Facebook that they've later regretted. (And, who hasn't?)
Facebook has announced a new app that actually erases pictures and messages – even after they've been read.
This app, called the "Facebook Poke," wipes out pictures and messages within 10 seconds of being sent.
With the Poke app, you can send a message, photo or video to Facebook friends – and then decide how long you want the recipient to see the message for.
After the time is up, the message, photo or video is erased forever, never to be seen again.
As with all apps that are designed to protect the goofy whims of people posting "private" stuff, there's always a chance someone will be smart enough to capture your message – and allow it to live on forever in cyberspace. (Mashable.com)

Why is healthcare so behind in Web 2.0?
Editor's note: In each edition of Healthcare Marketing Advisor, we ask our advisory board members to answer a question about hospital and health system marketing. This month, we asked the board: "There's a lot of talk in the general marketing industry of marketing being ready to move out of Web 2.0 (the use of blogs, wikis, and social networking sites) and into the next phase. Yet many in healthcare are still struggling to implement these Web 2.0 tools into their Web sites. Why do you think this is? Do you think healthcare will ever catch up?"

Nothing but problems with 2.0
Keep getting "Couchbase Server alert: IP address changed" alerts, even after I switch to using hostnames instead of IP addresses.
Now I can't even flush the buckets on one of my nodes, keep getting "Failed to Flush Bucket: Save request failed because of timeout". There's only a few items in this bucket, so no idea why it would timeout.
About ready to revert back to a previous version, 2.0 is not worth the frustration.
For switching to hostname instead of IP address did you follow the steps provided in 'best practices' (http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-manual-2.0/couchbase-bestpractic...) section 4.6.2. Handling Changes in IP Addresses.
Regarding the 'Flush Bucket Timeout' issue can you send us the diagnostics logs so that we cab investigate the timeout issue.
Thank you!
For the hostname issue, yes I followed the steps provided in the 'best practices' link you referenced. This did not resolve the issue, still getting the alerts.
Working on diagnostic logs for the flush issue.
How do I send the Diagnostic Log, it's 758 MB in size?
I have opened http://www.couchbase.com/issues/browse/MB-7715 for this. It'd be great to post the zipped file to the link above, Thanks!
Anil Kumar
Can you double check if you followed the below two steps and if the issue still remains then I'll open bug to investigate this issue.
* Make sure that this hostname always resolves to the IP address of the node that it is on. This can be accomplished by using a dynamic DNS service such as DNSMadeEasy which will allow you to automatically update the hostname when an underlying IP address changes.
* It is best to make sure that the IP address registered with the hostname is the internal address for the node (rather than the external one provided by Amazon) so that other nodes and application machines can contact it
Not sure I understand your response. "Make sure that this hostname always resolves to the IP address of the node that it is on"??? These servers have fixed IP addreses, they do not change. For some reason, every so often Couchbase is getting confused and thinks the IP address has changed for some reason.
A third question I had was, why do re-balances take so long? I have 2 server nodes with 4 buckets synced between the two. Just as a test, I added one item to one of the buckets, then did a re-balance. It's been running over an hour now. The bucket sizes are only 100MB each.
file has been attached.
The http://www.couchbase.com/issues/browse/MB-7715 is update with comment from Dev who looked at the logs.
There are many flushes in the log. I took a peek on the one of them only. In that particular case deletion of one of vbuckets took more than 20 seconds. This is known issue. In some cases vbucket deletion can take a lot of time. Sooner or later flush will finish but our UI timeout for this is only 30 seconds. One suggestion is to disable file system barriers or its windows equivalent (see attached image in the bug). It's known to speed up flush significantly.

How often do ECMs go bad?
How often do ECMs go bad?
About two years ago, it began idling roughly when you first start it (in any weather), have to hold the pedal part-way down those first two minutes, after that warm-up time it is fine. I took it to a shop, they "cleaned" the EGR-something but couldn't fix the problem. No biggie, I can live with that.
This past month, there is a new intermittent problem. The car will sometimes start and run fine. When it doesnt start, there is a rapid LOUD clicking noise from the fuel pump relay. I replaced the relay, no change, the new relay clicks too. I bypassed the relay with a heavy gauge jumper wire.
Like I said, the problem is intermittent. Sometimes it will start and run fine. Now that the fuel pump relay has been bypassed (and I can hear without that loud clicking) when it wont start, Ive noticed that the fuel pump doesnt turn on (make a humming noise) when the ignition key is turned on. Obviously, sometimes the fuel pump is getting the power it needs and will start, sometimes not (replace the relay in this condition and the relay clicks rapidly and loudly).
Ive taken it to a shop, but of course its working fine when I do. They speculate that it could be the ECM, and suggest that replacing it is more that the car is worth. A neighborly backyard mechanic also thinks its the ECM gone amuck.
Someone on the forum mentioned that removing an ECM is a BEAR. Im dreading taking the ECM out to send in for a make-over (I cant even see it under the drivers dash), and wanted to ask for more opinions. Does this diagnosis seem reasonable? How often do ECMs go bonkers on Metros?
"Like I said, the problem is intermittent. Sometimes it will start and run fine. Now that the fuel pump relay has been bypassed (and I can hear without that loud clicking) – when it won't start, I've noticed that the fuel pump doesn't turn on (make a humming noise) when the ignition key is turned on. Obviously, sometimes the fuel pump is getting the power it needs and will start, sometimes not (replace the relay in this condition and the relay clicks rapidly and loudly)."
The only thing your ecm does regarding the fuel pump is to ground the relay. Therefore if the fuel pump is still not working while you have the relay bypassed then you can pretty much rule out the ECM. Do note there is an additional realy that might not be working. Also for $1 you can get a test light, use it to check for power coming into your relays - if you have power at your relays then check for good power and ground at your fuel pump. If you have good power and ground there then you know your pump is toast - if you don't have good power/ground there then you will just have to repair the wiring.
http://www.geocities.com/bkotae/1-26.jpg (http://www.geocities.com/bkotae/1-26.jpg)
Thanks to DieInterim, this and other valueable Geo info can be found at http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=4680 .
I think bypassing your relay for anything other than a quick test is not safe.If in the unfortunate event you were in a collision you would still have fuel pressure and possible broken fuel lines.
I am the person who said removing the ECM from a '93 Geo Metro was not
I did this on a '93 (same year as my Metro) in a Pull-n-Save yard and the car
was up on wheels welded to the frame - so the vehicle was up higher than is
Even so, it is hard to get at.
On that car, the ECM was up under the driver's side dashboard to the left of the
steering wheel bolted to essentially the inside of the wheel well with three
Phillips-Hex head bolts.
The real problem was twofold.
1. All the wiring from the Fuse Box is right there in your way.
.....I ripped that out in the Wrecking yard - but you wouldn't want to do that!
2. The three Phillips-Hex head bolts were hard to get turning with just screw
driver! Mine was large (!) but couldn't loosen them. Lucky that a nice old
fellow came by and loaned me his 10 mm socket wrench with a long extension
rod. THEN - it was EASY.... Still hard to get at the Phillips-Hex head bolts, but it came out then...
Go to my thread to see what it looks like...
I think all my problems stem from a Fuel Pump going TU.
I have a thread in this forum on that, also.
check the ground connections on the back of the intake and behind the overflow tank, if these are loose or dirty conection will cause same problem
Crvwrr69 is right in 90% of the cases is the fault of the ground connection, without a good one you will start to have problems, ECM s usualy outlast the life of the car and engine unless you start poking with the screwdriver in it or flood the car.
You have me wondering now if that grounding thing isn't the reason my wife's
Geo Tracker CEL is on always, but shows no code when the socket is jumped
as per Chilton Manual instructions....!
I know this is the Metro Forum, but does anyone know where these gounding
wires would be on the 1993 Geo Tracker 1.6 L jobbie?
What the Hell, it's worth a try! I was going to order a used ECM and try it
out. Maybe it's just a bad ground!
Once you have exhausted all of the recommended actions above I would do the following -
It truly sounds as if there is a bad triac or a cracked solder joint in your ECU. Although it is possible for the logic to be messed up within the ECU it is more likely that you need to replace a triac.
What is a triac? A triac is a three terminal semiconductor for controlling current, or in common terms, a relay switch.
I would check the solder joints on all of the triacs and all connector posts too. If solder joints look fine then we determine which triac controls the fuel pump and replace it. We are talking about a couple of dollars for the parts and a 50% chance this solves your problems.
I am willing to help you if you so desire.
I'm a bit confused by this. As far as I'm aware a TRIAC and in general SCRs operate by controlling the duty cycle on a sinusoidal type waveform (ac). Since the supply in the car is 12V DC it is not clear to me how it works. Also on the pic Doctorbill posted I can only see only one device which looks like a power semiconductor device and I suspect that this a voltage regulator.
The rest of the stuff as far as I can see are the micro, a bunch of logic ICs and a bunch of transistors, resistors and caps as a diode as I recall.
Where are the TRIACs and how many are there?
Hmmm.that's an interesting design - I would have thought locating the power device on the external device would have made more sense as less energy would be required to send the control signal rather than the main signal down a wire - but of course that would be more sucecptible to interference. I guess they are just using the control sgnal form the logic to switch in the main signal to the pump via thepower device which makes sense.
Good point about opto-isloation and yes the same thing can be done in a variety of ways. Most consumer electronics tend to have designs where cost savings are a key factor and many circuits are not necessarily the best design or the most robust. In thise case thought it is rather excessive to want $1500 for something not worth more than about $50 in parts.
Thanks for the responses, I really really appreciate them.
The problem hasn't resurfaced yet, statistically, it won't be more than one week before it acts up again.
I have checked all the grounds I could find, removed every bolt and cleaned every contact with some sandpaper and WD-40, none of the contacts looked bad, but who knows.
Thanks for the chart BeoWolfe, when the problem returns I will check the other relay and troubleshoot with the chart.
I fear that Blake's suggestion might be the real culprit, either a failing triac in the ECM or some other internal ECM problem. It's curious how the fuel pump relay clicks so rapidly when the problem is acting up, so rapidly it sounds like a buzzing (10 or 20 times per second). I took the plastic cover off the relay last time, and could see that magnetic clapper slamming back and forth as hard and fast as it could. The sound was really loud. If the ECM controls the relay by grounding it, there is something curious going on there to cause it to trip on and off so rapidly. I will measure the voltage at the relay the next time to see if it is constant, high or low. Hopefully cleaning some grounds have fixed the problem.
I hoped that the unique relay buzzing might have sounded familiar to someone, but this might be an oddly rare problem to solve.
Thanks again everyone.
The control signal may be oscillating. Without seeing the circuit it is hard to say but if the micro drives the power device via a line driver that incorporates other components like a low pass filter and these degenerate the signal can start doing funny things like developing + feedback and so creating an oscillator.
The best way to see if this is happening is using an oscilloscope to trace the control signal all the way from the micro to the final signal going to the pump. A meter can be helpful but an oscillation will show up as a reduced voltage. Nothing like actually seeing the waveform.
You may want to check out a online auction like ebay for a used scope - very useful tool for troubleshooting electronics.

I moved to Park Slope in 1993, fresh from college, for two reasons: my brother told me to, and it was cheap. It was the neighborhood, he said, that most evoked the northeastern liberal college town where we'd grown up, where I'd spent my youth longing for better quarters (I'd yearned to reside in the fancy subdivision that the rich, popular kids called home) yet lamenting as the town got spiffed up all around me.
Out here in the then-frontier land of Brooklyn, rooms were easy to come by—the Village Voice classifieds were full of ads for the gay-friendly, vegetarian, communal-ish kinds of places I was used to, even if I wasn't gay or vegetarian. I moved several times within the neighborhood (I was a notoriously bad roommate), each apartment a slightly better address, though the rent remained eminently affordable. Eventually, at the end of 1995, I found myself on 8th Avenue, near Prospect Park, in a limestone fourth-floor walk-up. The place was sprawling, if in dire need of a tune-up; it was $300 a room.
The area was clearly in some kind of transition. This little stretch had not blossomed into the $2,000 stroller madness for which the neighborhood is now famous, but there was a fine cheese shop (now a real estate broker's office) on the corner. Near that were a longtime pizza shop, an Italian restaurant and a locally owned office supply place.
Longtime residents filled my block, too, but they were not pleased with my arrival. Lifers lived here: an old man—the ineffectual super of the building next door—walking a scrappy, old dog; a sad-faced single mother with a nest of frizzy hair and a pouting boy; a young couple perpetually smoking long cigarettes.
The young couple was the most visible: a skinny, freckled woman with feathered hair in her 20s and her boyfriend, Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome in his apricot-colored leather coat. Having lived on or near this block all their lives, they felt entitled to mark their dwindling territory on any stoop they chose, and often they chose mine. I would cleave a space between them and their wall of cigarette smoke when coming home from work at night; many times they refused to move.
Eventually, I confronted them, asking them to leave. "This your place?" the woman asked, tiny points of her teeth exposed.
"Yes," I said, "And can you please go hang out on your own stoop?"
"You own this place?"
"No, I don't own it, I rent an apartment here."
"Then it's not yours," she said, smug, with her arms wrapped around herself. In her eyes, I was an interloper, a rich kid planning a coup.
I had seen gentrification wash away the lovely grime of my own hometown upstate, seen the rundown houses reborn in paint colors with fruity names, cranberry and olive and peach. And even though some part of me longed to live in one of them, somehow I thought my humble roots–our house was not among those that had been refurbished–made me immune to becoming the face of gentrification myself.
Not in the couple's eyes. They didn't realize my wallet wasn't any fatter than theirs, that I shared the space with roommates, that our shower spit out less than 10 minutes of hot water most mornings and that our floors were so scratched and splintery as to make walking barefoot impossible. To them, I was the one ruining the neighborhood, wresting it from their clutches. I hated how much she hated me, and I hated her logic: the one who lived here longer was the one who got to call it home.
Fifteen years later, many of the buildings around me have gone co-op. The newsstand/egg sandwich joint across the street became an overpriced, over-hyped brunch spot. The couple lost their apartment years ago. College friends who moved here with me have been priced out, departed for the Park Slopes of tomorrow, like Kensington or Sunset Park, leaving me orphaned in fancy land. I am no longer the gentrifier, but a gentrifiee, of sorts, digesting the strange alchemy of jealousy and disdain that erupts when your neighborhood transforms around you.
These days, I am the freckle-faced lady, indignant at the onslaught of next generation gentrifiers. Now I know how she felt, how threatened, how out of place. It seems like gentrification happens so fast these days, and so fiercely; it took my town 20 years to get those peach-colored lintels, and now a Brooklyn neighborhood gets hip in two.
I know many will object—certainly parts of Park Slope have been shifting for 20 years, well before I arrived. Maybe each wave of gentrifier becomes the gentrifiee if they stay there long enough, each resident overwhelmed eventually by a sense of territorialism. Like others before me, I want to plant my flag and announce ownership of a place that can't be claimed, like the Russians with their flag on the arctic floor. I wish I smoked cigarettes and was ballsy enough to roost on other people's stoops.
What strikes me is that I am still not aligned with the lifers who remain, those who cursed me when I arrived fifteen years ago. The old super with his new dog (that much has changed), and the sad faced single mom—they have not formed an emotional bulwark against this next wave with me. Maybe that's because class is so much more complicated than salary, or because geography trumps all else. Maybe it's because I can never be a native, no matter how long I live here (how I wish my parents hadn't worked so hard to get out of the city so I could wear the crown of lifelong New Yorker, the one with the most right to object). At least now I know how they feel: to be a minority, a dying breed, at whom new businesses and new buildings are not directed.
What's hard, I think, is feeling disconnected from those who are drawn here now, and maybe a little embarrassed to be associated with it. I often mumble the name of my neighborhood when people ask where I live. I did not come for the famously child-friendly surroundings or the electric lure of PS321; I came for the beautiful buildings and the cheap rent, and that's why I'm still here.

Park Tudor senior Trevon Bluiett poured in 37 points and grabbed 17 rebounds to pace this week's recipients in the IBCA/Subway Player of the Week program.
Bluiett is joined by Westview senior Jordyn Bontrager and Barr-Reeve junior Addison Wagler as
Week 19 honorees (March 17-22) in the recognition program overseen by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association.
The 6-5 Bluiett took the District 2 honor for the second consecutive week and the fourth time this season as he led Park Tudor (23-4) a Class 2A semistate crown with a 76-64 victory over Clarksville.
The Xavier University recruit converted 10-of-22 shots, 3-of-7 3-pointers and 13-of-16 free throws en route to his big game. He also added four assists as the Panthers advanced to the IHSAA State Finals for the third time in his four seasons.
Bluiett previously claimed Player of the Week honors on Dec. 9-14, Jan. 13-18 and March 10-15.
Bontrager and Wagler were respective winners for District 1 and District 3.
The 5-10 Bontrager nearly had a triple-double as he produced 18 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists to lead Westview (23-4) to a 65-58 win over Lewis Cass and the Class 2A northern semistate crown. Bontrager sank 7-of-12 shots from the floor and added 4-of-7 free throws to propel the Warriors to the State Finals.
Wagler, a 6-5 forward, provided 24 points and 13 rebounds as Barr-Reeve (26-1) beat Clay City 75-55 in a Class A semistate tame. Wagler made 7-of-9 shots as well as 10-of-12 free throws while adding two assists for the Vikings.
This is the sixth season for the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association Player of the Week program and the second season it is presented by Subway Restaurants of Indiana, a banner sponsor of the IBCA. Subway, in its fourth season as an IBCA sponsor, encourages athletes to "train hard and eat fresh."
Player of the Week winners are chosen each week from each of the IHSAA's three districts. Boys winners will be chosen for one more week.
Other nominees for Week 19 (2013-14)
District 1 boys: Joe Bannister, Lake Central; Anthony Cole, Bowman Academy; Greg Eifert, Fort Wayne Dwenger; Ryan Fazekas, Marquette Catholic; Austin Keisling, Cass; Caleb Swanigan, Homestead.
District 2 boys: Matt Holba, Guerin Catholic; Trey Lyles, Indianapolis Tech; Franklin Nunn, Liberty Christian.
District 3 boys: Easton Booe, Clay City; Macy Holdsworth, Greensburg; Calvin McEwen, Clarksville; Grant Sims, Bloomington North.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. (AP) - Joao Plata scored twice in the final 24 minutes, including the winner in stoppage time, to help Real Salt Lake remain unbeaten with a 3-2 victory over the winless Chicago Fire on Saturday night.
Alvaro Saborio tied it 1 second into stoppage time for Real Salt Lake (4-0-5). Plata, who cut the Fire's lead in half with a 12-yard shot in the 72nd minute, beat Chicago's Sean Johnson with the winner in the 93rd minute, halfway through stoppage time.
The Fire (0-2-6) scored twice in the first 30 minutes. Mike Magee and Juan Luis Anangono beat Real's Nick Rimando from close range, with Anangono doing so on a pretty header set up by Greg Cochrane.

In response to The Court gets an opinion on marriage (March 27 Our View) and other articles:
Im worried about my rights if gays are allowed to marry
If gay marriage becomes law of the land, people who believe only in one man and one woman marriages will have their rights infringed upon. There will be lawsuits against people who refuse to rent a facility to or photograph the couple. It has already happened.
My right to believe in one man and one woman marriage will not be tolerated. The ramifications are huge.

In response to Our leaders in Washington must fix the debt problem (March 27 For the Record) and other articles:
Duke could help economy by investing in natural resources
Does Duke Energys Rogers think his show of concern about the national debt will distract Charlotteans from known carcinogens seeping into our water from Dukes coal ash ponds?
Rogers could protect the economy by getting Duke off fossil fuels like coal, which is cheap only if you dont count externalities like cleaning up massive coal-slurry lagoons or cancers caused by arsenic or brain damage caused by mercury.
For the sake of its own shareholders and N.C.s economy and health, Duke should invest in our states abundant solar and wind resources or get out of the way so others can do it.
Beth Henry
So now Duke CEO Rogers is concerned about wastefulness?
Mr. Rogers deep concern for the welfare of our nation should instead be focused on his own company, Duke Energy. In his commentary concerning the rising national debt, Rogers uses words such as wasteful, non-sustainable, and inefficient. All are terms that perfectly describe Dukes latest energy plan being considered right now by the N.C. Utilities Commission.
Are rate hikes for more dirty energy really good for our economy, Mr. Rogers? Are the costs associated with human health really good for our economy? Cleaner energy is always cheaper in the end.

In response to Dont ban box; employers need to know who theyre hiring and A dynamic web presence would help museums new mission (March 27 Forum):

I thank the Observer for printing opinions from Bill Lane and Phil Kabza today. I take no stance on their opinions and applaud them for providing them without insulting those that disagree with them.
It seems that changing the hearts and minds of others will go much easier without insults. Lets elevate the discussion.

Panthers stadium upgrade will provide plenty of city revenue
At the current real estate tax rate, the $300,000,000 upgrade to Bank of America stadium is approximately $3,750,000 additional property tax out of the Panthers annual cash flow and into the citys checkbook.
Coupled with the additional food and beverage tax, this ought to buy the city a lot of toys paid for by the Sunday afternoon Nightmare on Mint Street. Ill be there cheering for the team: Go Queen City!
Will Granger
In response to N.C. bill targets hospital prices (March 28):
Thanks for the wake-up call
on disclosing medical costs
In Phoenix, Ariz., only last week, administrative executives with hospitals were conducting a joint meeting in preparation for justification and public disclosure on salaries and other costs which fall on the shoulders of their patients. The Observers recent disclosure on this subject is one more wake up call of both clarity and conscience.
Congratulations to Senators Rucho and Brown for stepping up to the plate on this one!
Harold R. Soutier Sr.
For those who signed off on sequestration, a suggestion
Many federal employees will lose 20 percent or more of their expected income by sequestration. It would show true sympathy for folks in that position if all U.S. senators and representatives would each contribute 20 percent of their incomes derived from their salary to soup kitchens and homeless shelters and other assistance organizations in their home states.
Amy Rhodes
In response to Who will save whom? (March 26 Viewpoint) and This also grates on ears (March 27 Forum):
How about a crusade for grammar, not handwriting?
I teach English grammar each day to three classes of third graders who have become grammar spies.
The biggest mistake they have found, while listening to their elders, is with the usage of good and well. Ask anyone how they are doing and listen to their response. Most people respond, Im good. I tell my students, Yes, you are a good person, but you are doing well.
I would much rather see a crusade in North Carolina for teaching grammar than cursive writing! Handwriting doesnt define ones education, but when the mouth is opened all doubt is taken away.

Big Spring City Council approved first reading of an ordinance designed to define and shape the use of modular homes, temporary workforce housing and ŌĆ£man campsŌĆØ on a 4-3 vote Tuesday night, much to the chagrin of at least one local family.
The ordinance ŌĆö which was commissioned by the council in hopes of limiting the damaging effects of the oil boom associated with the Cline Shale discovery ŌĆö takes a number of steps to regulate how the ŌĆ£man campsŌĆØ and other temporary housing will be used within the city limits.
Big Spring public school trustees will revisit Superintendent Steven Saldivar's contract situation when they hold their monthly meeting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the high school board room.
Trustees raised some eyebrows in June when they declined without comment to extend Saldivar's contract following their annual evaluation of his job performance. The non-action was notable because it is standard operating procedure for school boards to add at least one year to a superintendent's contract following a satisfactory evaluation.

Knight's fee
In feudal Anglo-Norman England and Ireland, a knight's fee was a measure of a unit of land deemed sufficient from which a knight could derive not only sustenance for himself and his esquires, but also the means to furnish himself and his equipage with horses and armor to fight for his overlord in battle. It was effectively the size of a fee (or "fief" which word is synonymous with "fee") sufficient to support one knight for one year in the performance of his feudal duties of knight-service. A knight's fee cannot be stated as a standard number of acres as the required acreage to produce a given crop or revenue would vary depending on, amongst other factors, its location, richness of soil and climate.
Creation of knight's fees[edit]
A knight's fee could be created by a magnate or by the king himself by separating off an area of land from his own demesne, or land held in-hand, which process was known as subinfeudation, and establishing therein a new manor for the use of a knight who would become its tenant by paying homage to his new overlord. This homage was a vow of loyalty to provide knight-service, generally to a maximum of 40 days per annum, signifying that he would have to fight for his overlord in battle. No cash rent was payable. A knight was required to maintain the dignity of knighthood, which meant that he should be well-turned out, with the required number of esquires to serve him in battle, and with horses, arms and armour for all.
Used as a unit for tax assessment[edit]
A feudal magnate was assessed for certain feudal aids according as to how many knight's fees he was overlord to. Where a knight's fee was inherited by joint heiresses, the fee would be split into 2 separate manors, each deemed 1/2 a knight's fee, and so-on down to smaller fractions. Thus a magnate could be overlord to, say, 121⁄2 knight's fees.
A knight's fee was not only originally created by the process of subinfeudation, but could itself be split into smaller units by the same process, otherwise than through inheritance. By this means, until the practice was outlawed, a knight could create his own feudal retainer who would pledge fealty to him rather than to the overlord. Such a holding was termed a sub-fee.
It can thus be seen that the knight's fee was the base unit of land valuation for use in the feudal system.

John Vaughan '66
"Panorama Gold Rock" is part of the collection on display in the Library.
John Vaughan '66 has donated an extensive Malaysian art collection to Randolph-Macon
College. The collection is currently on display in the
McGraw-Page Library. Vaughan developed an interest in Malaysian art while
living in Kuala Lumpur and working for Philip Morris.
"After moving to Kuala Lumpur, I began weekend visits to the National Gallery of
Art and to local galleries," says Vaughan. "I located one gallery, Art Salon, which
represented Malaysian artists only and whose owners generously shared their knowledge.
Through their encouragement, I met many artists and gained a deeper appreciation
of their works of art and their lives." Vaughan says that the process of collecting—researching,
viewing, meeting artists—is extremely enjoyable and rewarding. "It is a great way
to learn and experience other people, places and cultures."
In 2010, Vaughan began thinking about a more permanent home for his Malaysian art.
"Ideally, I wanted an academic setting where the art would be on view, be part of
the art teaching program, and be enjoyed by students, faculty, staff and visitors,"
he explains. "Randolph-Macon seemed a perfect fit for this purpose, and the result
is that 29 paintings were selected and installed in the McGraw-Page Library. Not
only will others now enjoy these paintings, but I also can come to campus and continue
viewing them."
"We are very fortunate to have received a gift such as this," says Katie Shaw, curator
of R-MC's Flippo Gallery. "John's
gift truly enhances the quality of our experience within our community."
R-MC Professor of Studio Arts Ray Berry
is excited about the collection. "I think it is important to recognize that John
is the best kind of collector: his acquisitions evolve out of an egoless approach
to artists and styles and his enthusiasm for this special part of the world that
he worked in for so many years and loved so much," says Berry. "Each work was purchased
out of a direct connection to Malaysia, its culture and people. John's desire to
donate them to the college is a further testament to his dedication to the ideals
of a good liberal arts education and his wish that others be enriched by the beauty
that he had the good fortune to discover."
Each painting in the installment is unique and the collection covers a wide range
of styles: figurative, abstract and expressionism. "I admire each painting and respect
the artists' talent, skill, inspiration and hard work in creating these paintings
for us to enjoy," says Vaughan. "Now when I am on campus and see these paintings,
fond memories of Malaysian experiences and friends come alive again."

How Do I Adjust Slow Cooker Recipes for a Smaller Pot?
Good Questions
Sent by Charlotte
Editor: In my experience with slow cookers, it's important to fill the cooker between half and three-quarters full and to maintain the ratio of liquids to solids. With those as guidelines, yes, I think you could just scale down most recipes intended for a larger slow cooker. My instinct would also be that the dishes would finish cooking more quickly — if you're given a time range, err on the lower side until you're more familiar with your new cooker and how quickly it tends to cook your food.
Readers, what other advice do you have?
Next question?

I think playing around with recipes is going to be your best bet - I have a 3 qt slow cooker and I find that I often have to use less liquid than recipes call for, even when they are targeted for my size cooker. And, every recipe I have tried, whether I scaled it down or it was written for a 3 qt cooker, I have had to let it cook til the maximum time on the recipe. This is my first slow cooker though, so I don't know if things can vary with them, like an oven. But I have had pretty good success scaling back recipes.
I also have a small slow cooker and have always halved the recipes without even thinking about it (whoops!). I also work long hours and basically cook everything for 10 hours on low regardless of the recipe, and it usually works out okay. I don't think I've burned anything, but sometimes it ends up too liquidy.

For me Sci-Fi art was at its best in the 70/80s. You could see a step change in production design on films like Alien, Star Trek, Blade Runner and Tron (and others). You could see it on 1000s of sci-fi book covers, (often better than the books themselves). You could even see it on record sleeves.
I will likely do a seperate detailed blog post one day about the virtues of Sci-Fi art in this era, vs the largely bland, militairistic, and worse uniform efforts we see so much in modern concepts. But for now I am going to do some quick posts on a few of my favourite artists.
Today it's John Harris, one of my favourite Sci-Fi artist. Not famous by name, but famous through his work. Browsing his portfolio is an excercise of AHAAA-so-HE-did-that-cover moments. Many people's favourite sci-fi books bear his work on the cover. Have a look here, at his official site.
One of the key aspects of his work is simply the sense of scale*, and sense of wonder that he brings to the table. Or as he puts it, the sheer MASS of his subject matter.

Cubs 101 - Pt. 9 - Sweet Swingin' Billy
David Claerbaut wrote his book about "Durocher's Cubs – The Greatest Team That Never Won Anything". This is the Cubs team of my extreme youth, and of course, Claerbaut's presumption that they were the greatest team that did not win anything is obviously flawed, but we suppose it helped sell his books. There have been better teams over the wide array of human sporting endeavors, in the long history of human existence, who failed to win a championship. We're unsure, however, if any non-winning team was more famous, or revered by their fans, as if they actually had won something. Part of the reason why stems from the talent that did exist - three bonafide Hall-of-Famers, and a fourth on the bubble.
We've already discussed Mr. Cub, one Earnest Banks at some length. For good reason, he was and remains the Face of the Franchise. But it can be argued that Billy Williams was the better player of the two, and the best player on the 1969-era Cubs.
Billy Williams was money, kids. In fact, I cannot recall a single good thing that happened to the Cubs in those days that didn't involve him, and with good reason. Between September 1963 and September 1970, Sweet Swingin' Billy didn't miss a game. But mere participation doesn't seal the deal. Billy did it all. He was one of those left-handed hitting guys who looked sooo smooth at the plate – hence the moniker. He hit for average, leading the league with a .333 in 1972. He hit for power – 426 homers and a mess of doubles. Even though he wasn't known for his fielding, he is perhaps best well known for one play – the catch he made in the "well" on Hank Aaron's wind-blown drive, which preserved Ken Holtzman's 1969 no-hitter, which incidentally was the first game I ever watched on TV. Billy didn't make errors, he threw guys out on the paths, not like Alfonso Soriano does today, but he did it all.
The team won far more often than they lost between 1968-1972, and as Williams drove in 98, 95, 129, 93, and 122 RBI, respectively during that five-year period, it stands to figure even to those who didn't get to see him, that he was involved in most of the good stuff. He was not a spectacular player, with other-worldly talent, like a Bo Jackson or even Sammy Sosa. He was not a gimmicky guy, he didn't click his heels like Ron Santo. He didn't reach any major milestones, no 500 homers or 3000 hits, like Banks. He won the Rookie of the Year, but that was his last major individual award until his 1972 batting crown. I can't really conjure up one particular game where he truly stood out, save perhaps the day the Cubs set aside for him in 1969, where he went 5-for-9 in a doubleheader against the Cardinals.
The one prevailing memory I have of Billy Williams is that, day after day for several years, in a time of my life where consistency and structure meant everything to me, when Jack Brickhouse read off the lineups before the game, Billy Williams batted third and played left field. Nearly everything else in life was variable, except in the "three hole" – B. Williams, LF. He was solid, you could always count on him, and if it seems like I am repeating the same thing over and over again, that is entirely intentional.
In these days of free agency and DL trips for hangnails, I cannot come up with a suitable modern-day analogy. He had the longetivity of Cal Ripken, the performance of, probably, a Jeff Bagwell in his prime, and the lack of controversy and total class both men exhibited. Just simply somebody you could count on, and take for granted. In fact, many of us were worried that he was SO taken for granted, that he would be bypassed for induction into the Hall. It was one of the big ups for the Hall that they remembered him. As Leo Durocher said, "Sugar and spice. Billy Williams was a classall to himself." I can't write enough, and feel I have paid proper homage to the man.
Feel free to pile on if you're my age, if you wish.

I wasn't alive when the great team of '69 was playing ball. But I have met Mr. Billy Williams many times. His wife and him came in regularly to the restaurant I worked at. Like the article said he is a stand-up and overall great guy! His wife and him are some of my favorite customers and he is always willing to talk about the Cubbies after his meals.

You Can Write Off Denture Cream, but Not a Breast Pump?!
Guest blogger Ronda Kaysen: You can get a tax break for buying denture cream, acne medicine or even AstroTurf (if your kid has hay fever), but you can't get a tax break for buying a breast pump.
That's what the IRS decided when they sat down and hammered out the revised flexible-spending rules under the new healthcare plan. You couldn't use flex spending to pay for your breast pump before these rules went into effect, either, so it's not like new moms have lost out on something they once had. But it sure would have been nice if the new rules -- which go into effect in January -- could have helped moms breastfeed longer.
According to the New York Times, the IRS argues that breast milk is food and not a form of preventive care, so it shouldn't be covered under the new regulations. The IRS has taken a host of over-the-counter medicines (allergy medicine, cough medicine, aspirin, ibuprofen) off the eligible list, too. So next time you show up at Rite-Aid with your flex-spending card, be prepared for some serious changes.
But back to the breast pumps. I get the contradiction: Breastfeeding is natural; it's not medicine, it's food. But it has also been pretty well documented that breast milk contains a host of antibodies that reduce disease among babies. One recent study found that breastfeeding could prevent the deaths of 900 babies in the U.S. a year.
For a follow-up story on ABCNews.com, I spoke about my situation with writer Susan Donaldson James. According to her piece, health officials and breastfeeding advocates insist that anything that could make breastfeeding easier for moms would be good for the health of babies -- and save millions of dollars in healthcare costs every year.
"Human breast milk is the best first food for babies," AAP's president-elect, Dr. Robert W. Block, told James. "The nutrition in breast milk is important in its ability to stave off infection when they are in the first months of life and don't have the recuperative powers. We are critically in favor of anything that allows moms to breastfeed."
Moms pump for a variety of reasons, but the main reason we pump is because we have to go back to work and still want our infants to benefit from our milk. Maternity-leave policies in this country are already shamefully lacking. Offering moms a modest tax break for buying necessary equipment to keep our newborns healthy seems like a reasonable proposition.
We can't breastfeed if we can't pump when we're away. So, while the American Academy of Pediatrics is busily encouraging moms to nurse more and longer, it would be nice if we could use our pre-tax income to buy the ridiculously expensive pumps, pads and tubing that we need to get the milk to our babies when we're not with them.
I think your post on that new website ring very true for all. Very well articulated. I look forward to see more here.
