Hot Rods At The Pomona Swap Meet- Buy Me!Written by on May 1, 2009 Looking For A Diamond In The Rough? The Pomona Swap Meet May Have What You're Looking For, But Buyers Beware!
You've got the motivation, you've got the space, and you've got some cash, so the next step is to find that special car to fill the void in your garage. As exciting as a new project can be, don't let your emotions rule your wallet. Take a step back and look at what you're signing up for.
Today is the day you're going to (attempt to) pick your project; that's why you've come to the Pomona Swap Meet here in Southern California. It isn't unusual to see people from around the world walking the aisles. Just as the East Coast has Carlisle and Englishtown, we've got Pomona. The Pomona meet occurs seven times a year, though if you've been, you would think it's an annual event considering the immense number of attendees. One of the main events you'll want to look at is the Show and Sale section. There are hundreds of cars for sale covering everything from the '20s through the mid-'70s.
With all the choices, you need to step back for a second and think about what you want. The best advice we can give you is to have an open mind. If you're stuck on a '69 Camaro, be prepared to pay handsomely, but if you're OK with a '73 Firebird or '67 Cougar, you'll be amazed at the affordable possibilities. If you're stumped, and don't know where to turn for ideas, take a look at some of the designers we're featuring in this month's "Draw It!" story. A quick look at this story may convince you that a car you might not give a second thought to--like a '75 Laguna--can actually be a really cool car. Like we said, keep an open mind!
When shopping, there are three major concerns: the cost, your abilities, and your time frame. Figuring a budget for your build is no easy task, but it can be divided into two parts. One is the initial cost of the car, with the other being the cost to complete it. When searching for a project car, I really wanted to buy a fastback Mustang. Unfortunately, the prices of fastbacks reserve most of them for the wealthy. I spotted several fastbacks and coupes at Pomona; some were in great condition, some not. We've found that you can get a coupe in great shape for less than half the price of a fastback. If Mustangs are your thing, and you're looking for a running car on a budget, you just might be bringing home a coupe instead. Another factor behind the price tag is condition. You'll have the choice of buying a car that needs work for a lower initial cost, or a driver that's ready to go. That brings us to our second variable: personal ability. If you've got fabrication skills and have many of the necessary tools (as seen in our "Build It!" story), you could save money and do the work yourself. Maybe "builder" isn't in your resume, and you're looking to go cruising next weekend. In that case, a ground-up project isn't the best idea.
We walked the show, looking for cars in all different conditions and budgets, and came up with quite a spread. Each of them has pros and cons, and we thought it would be cool to show you the best and the worst. Yeah, we know; these cars may not be applicable for you, but it should give you a good idea of what's out there, how much things cost here in California, and what danger signs to look for in your hunt for a fresh project!
1970 Ford Mustang Coupe
This little number is a perfect example of a car that's ready for a quick scuff-and-shoot paintjob. It only has a small amount of surface rust, which can easily be removed with a DA sander in a matter of minutes. What this surface rust shows us is that the paint it wears today is the paint it came from the factory with. When you can see down to the metal like you can on this car's hood and roof, and no panels are shinier than others, it's safe to assume the car has no hidden damage or has ever been repainted. The for-sale sign claims the car has working original A/C and a good running engine for $3,600, which is a good deal in our book.
1965 Chevy Nova Straight-Six
Being open to buying a six-cylinder car can be helpful in your search, since there are so many of them out there, and the price tags are lower. If you need to have an original V-8 car, or a special trim package, a straight-six isn't the car for you, but if you want to cut it up, what difference does it make? This is an original six-cylinder '65 Nova that runs and drives and is currently registered with black California plates. A current registration is good proof that you won't be slammed with unexpected fees from the DMV. The rusty dust cap protruding from the steel wheel hints that the suspension and brakes have never been touched and the car's waiting to be transformed into a track monster.
1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1
The Mach 1 was introduced by Ford as an in-between model, a step up from the GT model, and a step below the Boss. This particular Mach 1 was the least expensive fastback we saw that came with an engine at $13,000. This Mustang appears to have factory paint that desperately needs to be replaced. Remember to factor this into your budget.
1967 Pontiac Firebird Stocker
So you've hunted the aisles and found you just can't afford a first-gen Camaro, but you love the F-body cars. One option is to trade the Bow Tie for a Poncho. This '67 Firebird has an original 400 backed by the very desirable M-22 rock-crusher four-speed trans, and it only has 73,000 miles on it. It does need a paintjob, but it's straight as can be, and is ready for primer. The asking price of $15,000 was pretty high for a 'Bird, so after we made a trip to eBay.com to find a similar car, we found this exact one up for bid starting at $11,000--a more realistic price.
1966 Ford Mustang Coupe Roller
If you intend on starting and completing your project in your home's garage, this '66 Mustang coupe is a great option. The hard part has already been done: the paint and bodywork. Diving into bodywork can be a can of worms, especially if you lack experience. This car is a blank canvas with no motor, transmission, or interior. It can be a drag race car, a Pro Touring car, or a mild restomod destined for the steamy pages of Hot Rod; the possibilities are endless. The price on this '66 is $1,600. Getting a car painted can easily cost three times that, and this one is a roller. It wouldn't surprise us if this car didn't last more than a couple of hours at the meet.
1972 Chevy El Camino Project
This one was kind of a head-scratcher. Being a '72, it's not the most ideal year, and it's got some pretty substantial body damage, making us wonder why the price tag is $6,000. A similar condition Chevelle would fetch that price easily, but some Elky sellers think they ought to get the same deal, and it ain't even close. The motor had some nice parts on it, but not quite enough to justify the price and condition. If you're looking for a car like this at a better price, taking the number down and calling just before the show closes might be a good strategy. Note to seller: Unless this is a hidden treasure, a lower price may be worth taking to avoid dragging it back down for the next swap meet.
1965 Ford Mustang Fastback
This ex-racer '65 Fastback Mustang is great if you've got more time than money and are set on owning an authentic fastback Mustang. Taking on a project like this requires a pretty well-established shop at home, and the time and skill for major fabrication work, or a professional shop who can take it on for you. There is no motor in this car, but it does come with a four-speed trans, four-wheel disc brakes, 9-inch rear end, and most of the body for $11,500. When you see major body damage or panel replacement on a car that has been raced, take a look under and see if the frame has any missing paint or cracks that would show a deeper injury. Pointing these out can sometimes sway the seller down.
1968 Chevy Camaro
Just past the disco Firebird with the 20-inch rims was this cute '68 Camaro, my favorite. This is what we've been looking for, an original '68 Camaro that runs and drives for under $13,000. A closer look revealed a couple of major issues that will cost quite a bit to repair down the road. Our first concern was the cut-and-glue sunroof. While at home on a later-model T-top Camaro, it didn't quite sit well on this first-gen. Welding a patch on a large flat panel like the roof is extremely difficult and time consuming. The other item was the paint. The emblems were not removed when the car was repainted. Not only does this tell us there most likely is hidden damage, but the painter didn't even take the time to remove the emblems before spraying the paint. Makes you wonder what other short cuts were taken. If this was anything else besides a first-gen Camaro, it would be a lousy deal, but because it's so sought after, it's actually a fairly good price.
1973 Plymouth 'Cuda Resto
The Mopar boys are sure proud of their cars! This extremely clean '73 Plymouth 'Cuda with fresh silver paint on the body and undercarriage tips the scale at $35,000. It's got a 340-inch motor and four-speed, but seems to be lacking many other parts. There was no interior, front or back glass, or headlight bezels. This to us sounds like someone ran out of steam or money and wants to unload their project. That can be a good thing, as this seller probably has more than the asking price into the car by now. Consider in your budget how much it will cost to make this car a driver before making an offer.
1966 Ford Mustang 289 Coupe
Here is a good example of paying slightly more for an original V-8 car: Is it important to you, or not so much? This one was selling for $6,500 in reasonable condition--that's almost $3,000 more than our own Project Street Fighter that is the same year, but came with a running straight-six. Our plans were to replace this paperweight, letting the $3,000 go to fund fast parts. If you don't want to change the motor in this factory car, the price may be right. Keep one thing in mind: The price is always negotiable. Be careful around vinyl top cars; they are notorious for being rusty under their skin. This one could go either way.
1972 Chevy Vega Lightweight
So you've set out for a Nova or a Chevelle to build up with drag-strip dreams, but the price tag is a little high. This flyweight is already done, so don't overlook a Vega as your next drag car project. Vegas are less expensive and much lighter, making then shamefully easy to get into the 10s with a modest small-block. This one had no price tag and no owner nearby, but it sure tickled the senses. Also, the entire GM H-body line from 1975 to 1980 (Chevy Monza, Olds Starfire, Buick Skyhawk, and Pontiac Sunbird) make excellent lightweight performers, and shouldn't be ignored.
Paint Tips
The chip along the door line here shows exactly how many layers of paint there are on this car. They talk about mile-deep clear as a good thing, but in general, mile-deep paint is prone to chipping and is a lot more difficult to level out for a new paintjob. It would require media or chemical blasting to remove the paint in a reasonable amount of time. (Editor's note: Many thick layers of old paint actually worked out in our favor with the '75 Laguna. Since the underlying metal was good, the extra layers of paint acted like multiple guidecoats, and allowed the car to be blocked very smooth with a minimum of labor.)
No Paint
Who knows what's behind this Nova's coat of primer? All we know for sure is there is a lot of filler. A trick you can use to check the filler thickness is to drag a flexible refrigerator magnet over the surface. The more easily across the paint, the more filler is underneath. If it doesn't stick at all, you're in trouble. This would be helpful in determining if you are going to have to do a quarter-panel replacement or a simple leveling of the existing filler.
Poor Prep
One sign of a quick-fix paintjob is when the inside surfaces of the body, such as the inside of the doors, underhood, and under the decklid, are left unsprayed. Spraying these areas is called jambing, and any decent painter will take the time to do it.

I am currently interested in how (what program to use) to make this effects of lighting and animated aura in the following video.
Snapshot of video:
This whole effect is what Riot Games uses for their log in screen for a game called League of Legends. (The video is actually of a character from the game, which is why I mention it)
This question has been found to be not constructive on the game development stack exchange. However it did link to a more general question about 2-D animation which might be worth your while.
All of that having been said, the files Riot Games uses in the end are
It's really not a black and white question, there's tons of software out there to do an effect like this. If you want an exact process only the person who made it can tell you but hopefully this is a good starting point for you.
It was more than likely done in After Effects. Chances are they probably used a 3rd party plugin for the light effects as AE hasn't got the greatest selection. My guess is that they used Red Giant's Trapcode. Trapcode is very industry standard for motion graphic artists.

Entropy is a term used often in relation to password security and brute-force attacks, but it is a topic that can get complicated quickly. What is the best way to describe password entropy (what it is and how it's calculated) in terms a layman can understand?
Not sure can it be of any help to you, but once I managed to describe entropy to a child.
After I said that entropy is a measure of chaos in system (to a group of people), a 12 (year more or less) year old said he doesn't understand me. I replied with - "Well, when your room is untidy, entropy is high. But when you clean your room, entropy is low - everything is in order then. So, when a thief comes to your room trying to steal your homework, when the room is clean and entropy is low, he will easly find it - it's usually on your desk or in your school bag. On the other hand, when your room is untidy and your homework is somewhere laying around, thief doesn't know exactly where it is and it can't find it quickly. If entropy is high enough (let's say roof collapse), it's almost impossible to find a piece of paper in it.
High entropy - finding a needle in a haystack.
In the game - Guess who I am, at the begging entropy is very high, but after few questions entropy is lower and lower until someone has enough information to guess who the person is (or in security, after trails (and errors) and trials, to guess what is the password).
The layman's part comes later, but first, let's get scientific.
I struggled to understand the concept of mathematical entropy, but, lucky for me, I work with an engineer. When I asked him to explain it, he directed me towards the graphs of two laws: uniform distribution and normal distribution.
Knowing the Y-axis describes a measurement of probability of guessing the password, and X-axis describes a value of what the password is... in a uniform distribution (see diagram), the entropy is high, because no matter what the password is, the probability of guessing it is the same value (statically the same chance). In a normal distribution (see diagram), the probability of guessing the password changes... for instance, you're ~70% likely to be able to guess the password (sort of).
For the layman.... Where's Waldo/Wally?
High entropy:
∴ You have a very little chance of identifying Waldo.
Low entropy:
∴ You have a very high chance of identifying Waldo.
I would skip the idea of entropy entirely and just talk about how hard it would be to guess the password. Basically, tell him that password entropy is a measure of about how many passwords a person would have to guess before they hit on yours.
A password like "password" or "123456" would practically be someone's first guess. A password like "6love" might be in their first few thousand guesses. A password like "1974!jhT" would take billions of guesses.
For a password, "entropy" is related to "guessability". Low entropy is easier to guess, high entropy is harder to guess.
The primary aspect is randomness. A non-random password, like "secret", is easily guessed. A random password, like "8jh$#F" is harder to guess.
Length plays a part, too. "secret of a lifetime man" is not much more random than "secret", but the additional length means it is harder for a brute-force attack to crack, and therefore it has better "entropy".
So, to a layman: A good password has high entropy, which means it is hard to guess, uses multiple character types (upper-lower-number-symbol), and the longer the better.

There must be data out there about this. Do more people just hit enter after their search term or do they hit the "Search/Submit" button?
I'm not aware of any statistics, but I think Luke Wroblewski would point to the need for "a clear path to completion", which an explicit button provides. A submit button in a form (even a simple search form with a single input) does more than just provide a control for someone to press - it marks the end of the form, clarifies the purpose of the form (assuming the wording of the button is more descriptive than "submit") and serves as a call-to-action to submit, even if the user then decides to perform that action using their keyboard.
This is a fun question, and we ought to be able to answer it without disclosing proprietary information.
Here are some sketchy observations, though I hope others with access to their own analytics data can compare, critique, and share. I'm not confident in the reasoning here. Perhaps this will get us thinking.
After a glance at our search stats (from covenanteyes.com) over the past month, I see an indication that using the enter key is a more frequent action than clicking the button itself. Based on the 2884 searches I'm looking at, it seems that 752 were triggered by a click of a search button and 2132 were triggered by the enter key. So, about 26% used a button and 74% used the enter key.
What leads me to think I see this data? The search form in the top-right corner of our web page has the submit button as an image. As it is named "sa," I can track that in the query string of the search results page. As an INPUT element with a type of IMAGE, the form submits the coordinates of the actual click. So when I click the button, I see something like this in the query string: sa.x=7&sa.y=9. The x and y values vary based on where on the image the person clicked. When I hit the enter key, I see sa.x=0&sa.y=0.
It is possible, though I believe rare, that a person will click the very top left pixel of the button and also get x=0&y=0, but it is so unlikely that I've ignored it. People tend to click somewhere in the middle of the target.
Here is why I seriously question this data. We had 4194 total unique searches, but the URL patterns aren't consistent: they don't all have the sa.x and sa.y parameters. I only evaluated the 2884 that contained the x and y values. Now, when I simply tried the searches to see what happened to the URLs, the x and y values did in fact appear. They always will when those forms are used, because that's how form submissions work.
But still, pretty big assumptions here. Are there other times when they will appear which can also cause the zero values? That would throw off the proportions, perhaps in a large way. Anyone want to grab the baton and run the next leg of reasoning this through?
What usage patterns have I not realized? Why are those parameters missing in the other searches?
Can someone else look at their own search data and report back?
(Aside: no doubt Google's live search dramatically changes this, as every keystroke seems to refresh the search results. I'll bet button use in that context plummets.)
It would be interesting, especially to measure it against other things such as demographics. I suspect the results would be well correlated with demographics, which might mean you could make a reasonable guess if you knew your audience.
@BryanRobinson's comment on @MattObee's answer matches my experience having worked on designing systems for older people with little (or no) computer experience that novice users click, experienced users hit enter, hence my expectation that demographics will have a large impact.
As an aside, StackExchange's design without a button, just a field could be taken as a (probably quite accurate for this community) expectation that SE users are experienced users. It may be a bit less accurate for som other SE communities though, such as english.stackexchange.com.

I tried allocating free space on the 2nd large partition but GParted and Ubuntu installer won't let me create a 4th partition.
I am wondering how I should re partition in order to install ubuntu alongside Win7. If it involves removing a partition or merging, if possible, can you go through explaining the possible consequences involved?
Thanks very much and any help at all is appreciated.

The IBX Buzz at ISSE Long Beach
Though the buzz and curiosity about IBX started to spread at the beginning of January, Famous Names kept priorities focused on the United States domestic launch of IBX at the International Salon and Spa Expo in Long Beach, California.
The team spent the weekend chatting to professionals and executing demos for anyone who asked. Famous Names says they were overwhelmed by the positive feedback, and especially thrilled that so many technicians coming through the booth had already heard about IBX. Nail techs shared that they are excited about how IBX will help their clients' nails and grow their businesses. With interests piqued, Linda Nordstrom and Marti Manning were the true MVPs of the booth—-they strengthened nails for three full days of demos.
Famous Names plans for the new nail strengthener and repair treatment to be an industry game changer!

SpaEquip Announces New, Non-Profit Organization: The Gift of Spa
SpaEquip, Inc. announces the launch of The Gift of Spa, a new non-profit program that will provide spa services to the underprivileged or people in need who might otherwise never experience the healing benefits of spa treatments. Spas who buy from SpaEquip and chose to participate in the program will receive an annual 2% reimbursement of their total purchases, which they will in turn match to total 4%, and provide spa services of equal value to a local charity of their choice.
SpaEquip founder, Philippe Therene, was inspired to create the program after discussing "give back" initiatives within the spa industry with Rona Berg, Editor-In-Chief of Organic Spa magazine at a Green Spa Network Conference, as well as after listening to keynote speaker Blake Mycoskie, Tom's Shoes founder, at the ISPA conference. To increase the amount in spa services offered to charities such as homeless and battered women's shelters, organizations that help struggling single moms and dad, cancer patients, underprivileged teens, and other populations for whom a spa treatment might be out of reach, spas will have the option of asking other local businesses and organizations to match the 2% and increase the in-kind donation. The spa services can be performed either at the spa, at the charity's location, or at a 3rd party location within the community.
"A spa experience always has a positive impact on my life," says Philippe Therene of SpaEquip. "Many people don't have that chance. Through my business I wanted to find a way for under-served individuals to enjoy
this experience, feel better about themselves and hopefully enjoy a better life. I think The Gift of Spa can help accomplish this. I am looking forward to partnering with many of our clients to spread the positive impact of spa experiences wherever possible."
Michele Loobey-Gertsch of Akela Spa added, "Akela Spa of Deadwood is pleased to be part of The Gift of Spa. We will be introducing the "Healthy Image" program to an adolescent population who are challenged with acne. We realize what an opportunity our industry has been given to touch the lives of underprivileged students during a challenging period of life."
The Gift of Spa is ready to launch and will be offered to spas across the country as an outreach to charitable organizations and the people they serve. For more information on how your spa can participate in The Gift of Spa Program, contact Philippe Therene at (707) 737-1112 or email email@example.com.

TerraCycle's Zero Waste Program Helps Spas Go Green
Spa owners and employees regularly transform clients, but now they can transform the spa itself to become a zero waste establishment. By joining the Zero Waste program from recycling pioneer TerraCycle, spa owners can collect and recycle everything from empty product tubes and bottles, old brushes and combs, latex gloves and even human hair.
TerraCycle offers a several Zero Waste Boxes that can help salons reduce their environmental impact.
These include:
Personal Care Accessories Box, which hold brushes, combs, pics, clips, bobby pins, hair ties, empty shampoo and conditioner bottles and caps, gel packaging, non-pressurized hair spray bottles, wax jars, pomade tins, hair dye packaging, blow-dryer attachments like combs and diffusers, and pedicure kits.
Nitrile and Latex Gloves Box, which holds gloves used for hair color application or pedicures
Human Hair Box, which holds clippings, extensions or wigs made of human hair
Zero Waste Boxes can be purchased at http://zerowasteboxes.terracycle.com for $27.70 to $103.95, depending on the size. Once salon owners receive a box for the waste stream of their choosing, they can start collecting. Once the box is full, it is shipped to TerraCycle for processing. The shipping cost is included in the price.
According to Tamara Jercha, Sustainability Consultant and Founder of the National Association of Eco-Friendly Salons and Spas, "There was a time when eco-friendly salons and spas were considered innovators. But when market demand leads CEOs of large corporations to go beyond compliance and leave the earth a better place, the professional salon industry cannot lag behind. It is time for this billion dollar industry, capable of influencing all others by the shear multitude of people it comes in contact with daily, to lead by example, create and implement sustainable business practices."

Doctor James Fulton, Jr., world-renowned dermatologist, is credited with hiring the first aesthetician on his medical team, was a co-developer of Retin-A and benzyl peroxide and co-founded the Vivant Skin Care line of products.
National Aesthetic Spa Network (NASN) recently honored Dr. Fulton at their 10th anniversary conference in Del Rey, FL. "Dr. Fulton did so much for our industry during his lifetime; we have a lot to thank him for and NASN is here to do that today," said Denise R. Fuller, Founder of NASN. During the presentation, Michael Q. Pugliese, CEO, Circadia by Dr. Pugliese, Bethal, PA, spoke about the positive influence Dr. Fulton had on him and the industry, while Barbara Marzulli, owner of The Sanctuary at Traditions in Port St. Lucie, FL, and one of the first estheticians Dr. Fulton hired, said she attributes the success and longevity of her career to what she learned from him. Fulton's daughter, Kelly Fulton-Kendrick, CEO of Vivant Skin Care accepted the award on Dr. Fulton's behalf.

If a face-down creature has a "When this dies [...]" effect (i.e. because of Ixidron), will that effect activate when it dies?
Sign up

Short answer: Yes, if it had one, but the creature lost that ability when it was turned face-down.
"When this dies" is a leaves-the-battlefield ability [603.6c], and leaves-the-battlefield abilities trigger based on their existence, and the appearance of objects, prior to the event rather than afterward [603.3d].
So it doesn't matter what abilities the creature would have if it was face-up or will have in the graveyard; all that matters is what ability it actually does have. Only leaves-the-battlefield abilities the face-down creature has just prior to dying will trigger when it dies. Normally, that wouldn't be any, but some cards (such as Cauldron Haze) could grant them some.
It will not, if that ability was granted from some rules text on the card. It will if something else is granting it that ability after Ixidron turned it face-down (Cauldron of Souls).from the CR:
There are no turn-based actions that instruct you to turn a creature face up when they go to the graveyard.

Many women have never been a patient in a hospital before the birth of their first baby, so they have absolutely no idea what to expect. The idea of even going to a hospital as a patient can be daunting. Fortunately, today's hospitals try to make the experience as "painless" as possible by offering all the comforts of home, and then some.
Should the Cart Come Before the Horse?
If you have insurance (and here's hoping you do), then you may not have a choice of hospitals. Chances are good that you are limited by a specific list of preferred providers as to which hospital and health care provider (i.e., doctor) you can choose. However, being limited doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have a choice. Even if you have only two hospitals to choose from, go visit them in advance to see what they have to offer. Sometimes, women fall in love with a particular hospital that their doctor doesn't deliver in, and they choose to switch doctors in order to go to the hospital of their choice. You are the consumer here. Make sure that you get what you want within your means. If you have multiple choices for your hospital, then visit them all. The differences might be subtle, but you should still make the decision as to what kind of environment makes you comfortable. And even if you only have one hospital in your area, thus negating a choice, you should still visit to see what you will get for your money.
What Makes Hospitals Different from One Another
The choices are endless in today's hospitals as they compete for your dollars in the marketplace. Here is what one local hospital in my area (St. Vincent Women's Hospital in Indianapolis) offered on their Web site, touting how they were different from all the others (I've put my comments in parentheses):
So What Should Be Important to You
The most important thing is for you to feel comfortable with the staff and the environment of the hospital that you choose. Are the people friendly? Do you have confidence in their abilities? Some hospitals offer LDRP rooms, which translates to Labor Delivery Recovery Postpartum, meaning that you will be in the same room where you delivered until you go home. Other hospitals have a labor and delivery room, but then move you to a regular room on the maternity floor after you deliver. Do you want a private room (who doesn't want one?) or a semi-private room? Does the hospital even offer semi-private rooms at reduced costs? Previously, maternity rooms looked like any other hospital rooms. Today's maternity rooms often have carpeting and look more like luxury hotel rooms than anything remotely affiliated with a hospital. For example, all the oxygen outlets are hidden behind wooden cabinets. In fact, in some hospitals, the baby warmer in the mother's room folds down from the wall like an old-fashioned ironing board. There is a lot of effort that goes into designing labor and delivery rooms these days. Many hospitals, in an effort to compete, will go to great extent to offer the most positive experience when you have your baby.
The first step is to call the hospital and schedule an appointment or time to visit. Go in armed with a list of questions, like you had for your doctor. Here are some questions that you might pose:
While you're taking your tour, look around at the facilities. Is everything neat and clean? Cleanliness is of paramount concern in a hospital where bacteria and germs are at a premium. You want to minimize yours and your baby's risk for getting an infection.
The Absolute Minimum
Don't be "wowed" by extras in a hospital if the actual facilities aren't up to your standards. The bottom line: The hospital might have to save your life or your baby's life. Make sure first and foremost that it is a good hospital with excellent medical facilities. All the rest is gravy....

Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen! - 02-23-2010, 05:16 PM
A guy is walking past a high, solid wooden fence at the insane asylum and he hears all the residents inside chanting, Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!
He continues walking along the long fence, but, being a curious person, he cant help but wonder why they are chanting Thirteen! over and over. Could it be that they are chugging beer?
His curiosity peaks and he frantically searches for a hole in the fence so that he may see what is going on. Finally, he spots one a few feet ahead. The hole is low in the fence and he has to kneel down to peer inside.
He moves into position and peeks into the hole. As he looks in, someone inside pokes him in the eye! As he reels back clutching his face, he hears the chanting start up again.
Fourteen! Fourteen! Fourteen!

Easy Peasy, ezweb and ubuntu
By DaveLevy on Sep 18, 2008
I have EZweb, see also ezweb, fast new dynamic mashups, running inside an Ubuntu 8 VM on my windows Laptop.
The installation instructions were almost perfect, now I need to see how permit the VM to serve external systems. Also I am using Django not Apache, so I need to understand
- how to invoke a start/stop script for it
- or how to allow it to run in an apache server
- or how to permit apache to act as a proxy for Django.
The later will hopefully be very similar to making snipsnap work behind apache, which I have done on the Qube.
Now to build an Application?

Subject: Re: [OMPI users] EXTERNAL: Re: Application hangs on mpi_waitall
From: Blosch, Edwin L (edwin.l.blosch_at_[hidden])
Date: 2013-06-27 13:59:51
The debug version also hung, roughly the same amount of progress in the computations (although of course it took much longer to make that progress in comparison to the optimized version).
On the bright side, the idea of putting an mpi_barrier after the irecvs and before the isends appears to have helped. I was able to run 5 times farther without any trouble. So now Iâm trying to run 50 times farther and, if no hang, I will declare workaround-victory.
What could this mean?
I am guessing that one or more processes may run ahead of the others, just because of the different amounts of work that precedes the communication step. If a process manages to post all its irecvs and post all its isends well before another process has managed to post any matching irecvs, perhaps there is some buffering resource on the sender side that is getting exhausted? This is pure guessing on my part.

It ran a bit longer but still deadlocked. All matching sends are posted 1:1with posted recvs so it is a delivery issue of some kind. I'm running a debug compiled version tonight to see what that might turn up. I may try to rewrite with blocking sends and see if that works. I can also try adding a barrier (irecvs, barrier, isends, waitall) to make sure sends are not buffering waiting for recvs to be posted.

Im not sure but there might be a case where the BTL is getting overwhelmed by the nob-blocking operations while trying to setup the connection. There is a simple test for this. Add an MPI_Alltoall with a reasonable size (100k) before you start posting the non-blocking receives, and let's see if this solves your issue.

New civil allegations of fraud - particularly with regard to certain pension commitments - were alleged in a filing made in federal court in New York on Monday on behalf of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) against The Renco Group and a number of its subsidiaries.
The suit alleged the actions by Renco and its subsidiaries has caused "damages to PBGC in the amount of $97,182,432.
The suit alleges "The Renco Group, Inc. engaged in and consummated a financing agreement, a principal purpose of which was to evade the pension liabilities of the defined benefit pension plans of its subsidiary RG Steel LLC."
According to the filing, Renco knowingly made these false material representations to PBGC with the intent of inducing it to not initiate termination proceedings for the plans.
The suit alleged, as of Aug. 31, 2012, the plans are estimated to have total underfunded benefit liabilities of about $87 million, unpaid minimum funding contributions of $4.9 million and termination premiums of more than $5 million.
The PBGC is a wholly owned United States Government corporation established to administer and enforce the pension insurance program created under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, generally known as ERISA.
"PBGC reasonably relied on Renco's misrepresentations and omissions of material facts when it agreed to refrain from exercising its right to terminate the plans. Had PBGC taken steps to terminate the plans.
Renco and the Renco Controlled Group Members would have been liable for the plan obligation as controlled group members.
"Renco committed actual fraud by making the above material representations which were false,,, with the intend of inducing PBGC to rely upon such false representations, which reliance in turn has caused PBGC to incur damages in the amount of $97,182,432.
Renco is described in the suit as a private holding company. According to the filing, Renco and its subsidiaries employ more than 20,000 people worldwide and "currently have revenues in excess of $5 billion annually.

I don't know if it's good place to ask this question (I don't know if tehre is Fanotec's Pole forum), but how do You mount Your camera to the pole?
I used to use Nodal Ninja 4 on its' but this set was too heavy (NN4 is 1,5 kg!) so I would liek to mount it to something lighter - usually photos from pole don't suffer for parallax problem, so it can be sth very simple but much lighter.
Yesterady at night I've experimenting with my old pano head it is like this, but I had to attach it first to tripod head and then to pole thread.
What do You use for it?

I have some trouble understanding exactly what a mole represents. As I understand, one unit mole is 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12 (thus it is the mass of one nucleon?). What is a mole, then?
A mole is nothing more than a countable number of things. Specifically, it is approximated by 6.02 × 1023 number of things. Hence, you can have a mole of argon atoms, a mole of electrons, or a mole of house keys all of which contain approximately 6.02 × 1023 of their respective items. Note that each of these groups of things will have a different mass.
What you are referring to as 1/12 of a 12C atoms is not a mole, but an atomic mass unit.
A mole is like saying "a dozen," as Luksen points out in a comment. But why pick $(6.02)(10^{23})$ instead of, say, $(6.07)(10^{24})$? The reason is that the number was strategically picked such that the weight, in grams, of a mole would be numerically exactly the same as its molecular weight. It is a number that was formulated for the convenience of the chemist (just like the "dozen" was created for the convenience of... uh... someone... the baker? No, that was 13...)
So, for instance, if you know you have a mole of a substance, you can weigh that mole, in grams, to find the molecular weight without doing any math (like 18.0 grams is about a mole of water, which has a molecular weight of about 18.0). If, on the other hand, you want a mole of a substance and you know its molecular weight (as you almost always do) you can weigh it out in grams to get exactly a mole.
The mole is of such great use because of the predictable and unique relationship between the number of atoms (counted in moles) in a sample and the sample's easily measured weight or mass (depending on your unit system).
For example: one mole (6.02X10^23 atoms) of Carbon atoms has a mass of 12.011 grams, which is also the atomic weight of Carbon in Daltons (shown in this periodic table). The molar mass of water (2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom) = 2*(1.0079) + 1*(15.999) = 18.0148 grams (I am using a lot decimal places for effect despite that being impractical in real life).
I mole is just a way to represent a number of atoms. Instead of saying 12 eggs we can also say a dozen. Similarly one mole of carbon is the same as saying $6.02\cdot10^{23}$ atoms of carbon.

The trillions of cubic feet of methane hydrates contained in the ocean's floor are in geologically unstable areas. The fear: One wrong move and an undersea landslide could send massive amounts of a particularly potent greenhouse gas to the ocean's surface and into the atmosphere.
By BEN LEFEBVRE
Tapping methane hydrate for natural gas might have a
positive impact on global energy production, but critics say
the potential fuel source could have a negative impact on
global warming.
The trillions of cubic feet of methane hydrates contained in
the ocean's floor are in geologically unstable areas. The fear:
One wrong move and an undersea landslide in the muddy sediment
containing the methane hydrates could send massive amounts of a
particularly potent greenhouse gas to the ocean's surface and
into the atmosphere.
"Adding more methane to the atmosphere is a really bad
idea," said Kert Davies, research director at Greenpeace, which
is known for its use of direct action as well as lobbying and
research to sway public opinion on issues including global
warming and commercial whaling.
Although methane remains in the atmosphere for a shorter
time than carbon dioxide, "pound for pound,
the comparative impact of methane on climate change is over 20
times greater than carbon dioxide over a 100-year
period," according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Japan, the country making the most aggressive push into
methane-hydrate development, will concentrate its efforts on
relatively flat stretches of the seafloor off its coast. That
will minimize the chances of a landslide, according to the
Research Consortium for Methane Hydrate Resources in Japan, a
group with representatives from government agencies,
universities and businesses.
Natural gas is being touted as a bridge fuel to replace oil
and coal while strides are made in wind and solar energy, but
backers of switching to renewable resources say successful
development of methane hydrate could prolong dependence on carbon-based fuels.
"Hydrates, when and if they ever turn out to be commercially
extractable, will be just one more excuse to fiddle while Rome
burns," said Richard Charter, senior researcher at the Ocean
Foundation, a conservation group.

Numbers game that the corporate plays is pure greed in absolute terms and everyone in this game is responsible for the potential fall-out it is going to have in our Environment. Why not try to explore the Earth's Crust -- for sure, a single drill could bring out trillions of BTU of energy that the World is craving for, does this all make sense when the impact on Earth/Environment/mankind is never given the value it deserves than any other valuation in materialistic terms..

Each discovery comes with good and bad trails. The research and development in technology provides the edge over deriving the good and confining the eveil effects. We need to know the bad and learn to govern these effects controlling to zero error. That is the challange thrown to us.
Unfortunately, chemicals cannot be built on renewables and bio-sources do not produce enough volume and leave a large carbon footprint. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. If you are serious about environmental impact, you are going to have to give up quite a bit on a personal level.
CM Paul
Economics dictate what the world does. Renewable fuels are more expensive and will not be a contributing factor until they are cost competitive.The world continues to listen to the critics, who seem to not have a solution for much of anything. The numbers change dependent who is the speaker, but a good guess is that the global warming issue is not one of greenhouse gas. Is it a natural phenomenon that is contributed by mankind, probably. Do we contribute significantly, probably not. Should we politicize it any more than we have, NO. Should we spend copious amounts of money to pump it underground for storage, NO.The natural gas from the latest US exploration will upset the US market for a while, wreck of the economics of LNG terminals and have an adverse affect on methane hydrate.
Trevor Sylvester
Hydrates do indeed offer an additional source of Methane, however as we are seeing now with Frac Gas and Oil, we continue our pursuit of hydrocarbons while paying lip service to renewables.
