Francis at the Bethlehem Security Wall
When Pope John Paul II prayed at the Western Wall in March, 2000, I was watching on a big screen in the press room at the Jerusalem convention center. Covering the pope's pilgrimage for Newsday, I wasn't fortunate enough to be in the media pool for that event. Nor was the late Bill Bell, veteran reporter for the New York Daily News. Bell, a very perceptive and seasoned reporter, absorbed the scene of John Paul at the Wall and, filled with enthusiasm, turned and told me: "That picture is going to be on the front page of every newspaper in the world." He was right: It was the enduring image of the pope's pilgrimage to the Holy Land and, to my mind, one of the key photos from John Paul's entire pontificate.
I wonder if the same will happen for the dramatic image of Pope Francis praying at the graffiti-marked concrete security wall the Israeli government erected in Bethlehem. This is an image [shown here from Osservatore Romano] that strikes home, and it will mean more than anything said during this journey. The fact that it was an unscheduled stop ought to heighten its news value. Will it be on front pages everywhere? Its news value says that it should be.

Thanks - stunning. And then to invite the Palestinian and Israeli presidents to the Vatican to end the dilemma and sufferings. What else does he have in store?
And his sincere thanks and gratitude to Jordan for welcoming and supporting the Syrian refugees - both Muslim and Christian.
I know it's atypical of liberal me to say this, but maybe when mentioning the badness of the barriers, it would be fair to also mention how many lives they have saved. There are barriers too in other places (http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2005/03/security-fences/303734/) like Northern Ireland ... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/8121362.stm ... but they're hardly ever discussed.
Yeah, if we get some of those babies from sea to shining Gulf of Mexico along the border, with minefields fore and aft, maybe we can get some Republicans to vote for immigration reform. But probably not.
All the more newsworthy, or so it would seem, precisely because it echoes the iconography of John Paul's prayer at the Western Wall. Thanks.
I'm not sying barriers are good, but the one in Israel was built to save lives and the bad press Israel gets, when so many other places have barriers too, seems disproportionate.
@ Crystal Watson,
The pope did not say the barriers are bad; that's your interpretation.
He was likely praying for all the sufferings, all the lives lost, including those of both Palestinians and Jews as well as others, as embodied by that wall. Plus, no matter how you slice it, walls separate and divide.
Pope Francis reportedly told a BBC journalist that he would explain why he prayed at the wall on his return flight presser, so we shall find out soon why he did the things he did there and elsewhere.
Meantime, what a day this was, and what a pope he is.
Deo Gratias
To insert himself so forcefully at such a neuralgic symbol took great courage. And the meeting at the Vatican in June, as the Times story mentioned, even if not technically politically signficant, is a powerful symbol that places the discussion in a much more human, dialogical place. In other words, it is not so much those evil, lying, distoriting Zionists and those irrational, unreasonable, violent (fictional as Gingrich said) Palestinians as it is two peoples praying together with the Pope who represents the Christians in the region. Who knows if it will yield any actual, fruit, but it does place religion in a postive light.
Afterall, the historical roots of this divide go all the way back to Ishmael and Isaac. Even the great Abraham could not find a way to have peace between Sarah and Hagar!
Mr. Netanyahu, tear down this wall...
Francis identified all the players. The criminals who sell the weapons. Those who place politics over people. What a pope indeed.
Hi, Paul, for what it's worth, here is the photo score for the two newspapers we get each morning: the Chicago Tribune printed a front-page photo of Francis praying with Patriarch Bartholomew. The actual story ran on page 12, which had another photo of the two religious leaders. The Holy Father didn't make the front page of the Daily Herald, but it printed a page-two photo of Francis waving to Palestinians from the Popemobile as he arrived in Manger Square.
How editors make these photo decisions, I'm not sure. Surely they could have selected shots at the wall.
ABC World News ran with the unscheduled-stop-at-the-wall story in its evening newscast yesterday.
Today's Boston Globe has the photo of Francis at the security wall on the front page accompanied by a news article. Inside (p. A5) there's analysis from John Allan that argues the iconic, impromptu moment of prayer at the wall was just one of "...four blockbuster moments, any one of which would probably have been enough to label the day historic".
The other three are: 1) the pope's invitation to Presidents Peres and Abbas to join him at the Vatican in a common prayer for peace, 2) Francis' brief speech in Tel Aviv which had two last-minute additions: one highlighting that the victims of the Holocaust were "in the first place, Jews", and the other decrying the "anti-Semitic attack" Saturday in Brussels and, 3) his joint prayer service with Patriarch Bartholomew in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
To balance the stop at the barrier ... "Pope Makes Surprise Stop at Memorial for Israeli Terror Victims" ... http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/pope-makes-surprise-stop-memorial-isra... ... with an almost identical photo of him praying at the monument
Also from John Allen (per his Twitter @JohnLAllenJr): "Vat spokesman says pope's answer to anger on both sides during visit was embrace this AM with rabbi and muslim leader before Western Wall"
This pope is simply brilliant.
The significance of Pope Francis' act of laying a wreath at the grave of Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism, should not be overlooked. He is the first Pope to do so. Herzl's life passion was the founding of the Jewish state in Palestine. His historical importance is that the movement and organization -- the World Zionist Organization -- that he founded led directly to the founding of Israel 55 years later, which is why he is regarded as the father of the nation.
That Pope Francis would pubicly honor the memory of Herzl seems to me to be a direct repudiation of the Zionism-Is-Racism advocates and of those who believe that there is something wrong or evil about Israel existing as a Jewish state.
And it seems that relations between the Vatican and Israel have never been better.
Jeff - add to that, the historical fact that Herzl met with Pius X in 1904 and Pius would not bless or approve of his project because of what the *Jews had done to Jesus*
"We cannot give approval to this movement. We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem—but we could never sanction it. The soil of Jerusalem, if it was not always sacred, has been sanctified by the life of Jesus Christ. As the head of the Church I cannot tell you anything different. The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people."
Bill deHass -- Yes, there's been quite a reorientation by the Church in its attitude to a Jewish state and to Jews in general. Many thanks in this regard especially to John XXIII and John Paul II. And now to Francis.
To me Francis' most impressive speech was at the Shoah Memorial. He articulates what the rest of us can only feel about man's inhumanity to man. He quotes the ancient prophets but adds his own powerful expression of existential grief at the horror of it all. And he implies again the reality of Satan. Here's the whole thing. Read it and weep.
"Adam, where are you?" (cf. Gen 3:9).
Where are you, o man? What have you come to?
In this place, this memorial of the Shoah, we hear God's question echo once more:"Adam, where are you?"
This question is charged with all the sorrow of a Father who has lost his child.
The Father knew the risk of freedom; he knew that his children could be lost… yet perhaps not even the Father could imagine so great a fall, so profound an abyss!
Here, before the boundless tragedy of the Holocaust, That cry – "Where are you?" – echoes like a faint voice in an unfathomable abyss…
Adam, who are you? I no longer recognize you.
Who are you, o man? What have you become?
Of what horror have you been capable?
What made you fall to such depths?
Certainly it is not the dust of the earth from which you were made.
The dust of the earth is something good, the work of my hands.
Certainly it is not the breath of life which I breathed into you.
That breath comes from me, and it is something good (cf. Gen 2:7).
No, this abyss is not merely the work of your own hands, your own heart… Who corrupted you? Who disfigured you?
Who led you to presume that you are the master of good and evil?
Who convinced you that you were god? Not only did you torture and kill your brothers and sisters, but you sacrificed them to yourself, because you made yourself a god. Today, in this place, we hear once more the voice of God: "Adam, where are you?"
From the ground there rises up a soft cry: "Have mercy on us, O Lord!"
To you, O Lord our God, belongs righteousness; but to us confusion of face and shame (cf. Bar 1:15).
A great evil has befallen us, such as never happened under the heavens (cf. Bar 2:2). Now, Lord, hear our prayer, hear our plea, save us in your mercy. Save us from this horror.
Almighty Lord, a soul in anguish cries out to you.
Hear, Lord, and have mercy!
We have sinned against you. You reign for ever (cf. Bar 3:1-2).
Remember us in your mercy. Grant us the grace to be ashamed of what we men have done, to be ashamed of this massive idolatry, of having despised and destroyed our own flesh which you formed from the earth, to which you gave life with your own breath of life. Never again, Lord, never again!
"Adam, where are you?"
Here we are, Lord, shamed by what man, created in your own image and likeness, was capable of doing.
Remember us in your mercy.

Not surprising that he may have wanted to visit the memorial for the victims of the AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires ... "In 2005, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who would later become Pope Francis, was the first public personality to sign a petition for justice in the AMIA bombing case. He was one of the signatories on a document called "85 victims, 85 signatures" as part of the bombing's 11th anniversary."
Crystal -- With respect to the bombing of the Buenos Aires Jewish Community Center to which you refer, which killed 85 people and injured hundreds more, in 2006, Argentinian prosecutors formally charged Iran with planning and directing the bombing and Hezbollah with carrying it out. Cardinal Bergoglio and others' call for justice in 2005 helped light a fire under the government, at least for a little while.
Yes the prayer at the Shoah memorial was very good. The Jewish people have offers the world a powerful witness on how to transform really violent, oppressive things that happen to a people into something that builds up, strengthens, and teaches. From that experience came the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. And further they were able to secure a homeland that provided language, culture, and identity. Granted, the whole process could have been worked out a little better and more thoughtfully but still Zionism has some compelling features. However, I prefer Buber's understanding over Herzl's. I think he had it worked out better. Of course Pius X's comment is completely obnoxious and I a ashamed of that.
Ann -- Pope Francis' remarks at Yad Vashem were eloquent, heartfelt and much appreciated. Apropos the Holocaust, and this being Memorial Day, here's something else that's very moving to me.
In displaced persons' camps in Germany, Holocaust survivors asked the U.S. Army to assist them in publishing a new edition of the Talmud, which the Army did. The first volume of what became known as the Survivors' Talmud, contained this dedication: "In all the years of exile it has often happened that various governments and forces have burned Jewish books. Never did any publish them for us. This is the first time in Jewish history that a government has helped in the publication of the Talmud, which is the source of our being and the length of our days. The Army of the United States saved us from death, protects us in this land, and through their aid does the Talmud appear again in Germany."
God bless Amerca!
PS - one of the latest things I bought at Amazon was a lawnmower ;)
Oh sorry, wrong thread - heh.
Jeff --
What a great true story :-)
Ann, many thanks for posting Pope Francis' prayer at the Shoah Memorial.
Bill, he invited the presidents to come for prayer at his house. This isn't Camp Vatican. It's an inspiring gesture nonetheless. It underscores that the papacy has enormous symbolic power. Francis seems firmly resolved to use his time in the office to be an icon of the prince of peace who came with good news for the poor and the oppressed. These must be difficult days for the folks who believe the only issue that matters is clergy sexual abuse and episcopal coverup. Francis will take steps to address this but not in a way that could ever satisfy the cynics.
JWH, These are difficult days for folks who think the only issues that matter are restoring Latin to more reverent liturgy and same-sex marriage. They shouldn't be difficult for people who were paying attention, though. More like exhilerating. Btw, he has scheduled what is called his first (implying a second?) meeting with abuse victims.
Apparently the plane ride home wasn't devoid of interest, either.
@ Jim P:
Of all the things discussed during that conversation, WaPost chooses this as their headline: "Rule of celibate priests 'always open' to change," because, um, why exactly, I shall never understand.
Anyway, for those interested, here's the full video of the pope's in-flight convo with the journalists: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7xEFE5R9hY
I last saw the Bethlehem "barrier" about 5 years ago. I had also visited there before the walls, guard towers and barbed wire (there's a lot more than a graffit-splotched wall) were erected and had a hard time believing that it was the same place.
I have driven by my neighborhood "barrier" (San Quentin) many times and my first view of Bethlehem reminded me instantly of SQ.
I seriously question the value of turning frustrated people into prisoners in their own town. It's a far cry from winning friends and influencing people. I suspect it is an excellent incubator for future "freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose" terrorists.
Maria - yes, I thought that was sort of the least interesting thing he said, at least as presented in that article. But three bishops under Vatican investigation for sex-abuse violations, one of whom has a conviction on his record? Sounds like blockbuster stuff to me.
Abbas and Netanyahu talking together? That's been tried. To move towards peace he should have included Hamas and thrown in Hezbollah! Yes they're terrorists, but come one-you want peace-get beyond the labels and even the atrocious crimes coimmitted.If in South Africa, if in Rwanda ,they could do this, then in spite of the crimes committed by terrorists groups, peace could be had by -well making peace with them! All these peace talks that don't include a party to the conflict is denying reality.Insisting they have to "recognize Israels right to exist prior to making peace" is to deny the arabs the right to their narrative;that for them the creation of the state of israel was an injustice .It does not follow that therefore Israel should not exist today;it is a narrative about origin;that the creation of the state was invalid.It's their persepctive.It would become a moot point if there were a just resolution to the conflict. People have the right to maintain a narrative about their history as they see it. For arabs in what is now israel who were /are displaced they may forever believe that the creation of israel was not a glorious righteous event but an unjust catastrophe.If peace were made ,that fact [for them] would recede into the pages of history.Just as today native Americans may believe that the creation of the US was illigitimate;it does not follow they want to destroy the state of the US or kill all US citizens.But it is a part of a historical narrative. It seems to me that it is Israel's insistence that the arabs such as Hamas declare the origin of Israel as a noble just event, that impedes the peace between them.We say the arabs have an honor culture, but it looks like the Israelis do too in having as a condition for peace with Hamas expecting them to deny their beliefs based on their historical experience;that the creation of israel was for them an injustice.
Jim McCrae -- The benefit is the one pointed out by Crystal Watson earlier: it has saved lives. But I'm sure that you're correct that there's a detriment, too. Maybe its a damned-if-you-do-and-damned-if-you-don't situation. Such situations exist in the world and Crystal Watson has also pointed out some of those.
The only solution is for the parties to make peace, which seems a long way off. Or for one side to win a complete victory over the other. Which is what the Arabs tried, but failed, to do in 1947-48, 1967 and 1973. Israel has the ability, but not the inclination, to do that. Besides, the world wouldn't let it if it wanted to.
Paul Elie at his blog says that Pope Frances prayed in Jordan, "May God protect us from the fear of change", and Elie suspects the prayer might be Francis preparing us for chages to come. Hmmm.

In the old version of RealVNC, the password length was limited to 8 characters which was easier to be cracked. They have now increased the password length by 255 characters, will this make Realvnc authentication more secure now?
As I love KISS concept, (Keep It Simple as Stupid), I'm ready to trust VNC developpers to make my desktop transportable. But I'm more likely to trust OpenSSL developpers to build Secured Transport Layer.
In fact, I prefer to not authenticate VNC, than bind his TCP ports to OpenSSL to make this strong and efficient (using self-signed certificates protected by password and storing fingerprints in server).
Running VNC server to listen only on localhost (
By default, first VNC session use tcp port 5900, but this could change if you have many VNC server on same host (multisession) or if you configure another port manualy.

This use your
Having a long password doesn't mean it's secure - the VNC client might still have vulnerabilities, such as the authentication bypass bug in versions 4.0 to 4.2.2. However, a limit of 255 characters is certainly better than a limit of 8 characters, since you can at least rule out a brute force.

Hi,I intend to develop an application using the MPI_Comm_spawn to create dynamically new MPI tasks (or processes). The structure of the program is like a tree: each node creates 2 new ones until reaches a predefined number of levels.
I developed a small program to explain my problem as can be seen in attachment.-- start.c: launches (through MPI_Comm_spawn, in which the argv has the level value) the root of the tree (a ch_rec program). Afterward spawn, a message is sent to child and the process block in an MPI_Recv.
-- ch_rec.c: gets its level value and receives the parent message, then if its level is less than a predefined limit, it will creates 2 children: - set the level value; - spawn 1 child; - send a message;
- call an MPI_Irecv; - repeat the 4 previous steps for the second child; - call an MPI_Waitany waiting for children returns.When children messages are received, the process send a message to its parent and call MPI_Finalize.
Using the openmpi-1.3.3 version the program runs as expected but with openmpi-1.4 I get the following error:$ mpirun -np 1 startlevel 0level = 1Parent sent: level 0 (pid:4279)level = 2Parent sent: level 1 (pid:4281)
[xiru-8.portoalegre.grenoble.grid5000.fr:04278] [[42824,0],0] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Not found in file base/plm_base_launch_support.c at line 758The error happens when my program try to launch the second child immediately after the first spawn call.
In my tests I try to put an sleep of 2 second between the first and the second spawn, and then the program runs as expected.Some one can help me with this version 1.4 bug? thanks,mįrcia.

How to make an Ubuntu USB on Ubuntu using Startup Disk Creator
Ubuntu has a built-in application for creating a bootable Ubuntu live USB for installing Ubuntu called Startup Disk Creator. Search the Dash for Startup Disk Creator and click the Startup Disk Creator icon to open the Make Startup Disk window.
The USB flash drive that you use with Startup Disk Creator should be 1GB or larger (2GB or larger starting with Ubuntu 14.04 and onward). Startup Disk Creator will automatically format your USB flash drive to FAT32 and make it bootable. If you have only one USB flash drive plugged in to your computer, Startup Disk Creator will select it automatically. Be very careful to select the USB flash drive in the Make Startup Disk window in order to avoid overwriting the partition which Ubuntu is installed on, which may make Ubuntu unbootable. In the screenshot below you can see how the USB flash drive Device is identified by its model name, the same model name that appears under the Drive heading after Model: in the Disks (disk utility) application.
You can also move the Stored in reserved extra space slider back and forth to create some reserved extra space for persistent file storage across reboots.
How to make an Ubuntu Minimal USB on Ubuntu using dd
You need: a flash drive, a PC/Mac, the ISO file for Ubuntu, which can be obtained here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop. Here are the instructions for...
Recent distributions of Ubuntu include the boot info to boot directly from both optical disk and hard media (flash drive, etc.)
You can simply duplicate the content of the iso to the USB device using a linux system you would use the command
Remember to check the hash before spending the time to copy to insure that your iso file is valid.
Use Unetbootin.It works in Ubuntu(from Software Center) and Windows(from Unetbootin site) also.Download the iso of Ubuntu you want, download Unetbootin, make it, enjoy it.

Davy Joseph Crockett passed away on Sunday, February 26, 2012, from complications related to cancer. He was 81. Davy was born on August 17, 1930, in Charlie Jenson's house in Denmark, Ore., (near Langlois). He attended primary school in Harbor, Ore., and then Brookings-Harbor High School.
Davy Crockett was in the United States Army Infantry from 1952-1954. He served in the Korean Conflict as a corporal in the Honor Guard, receiving the Bronze Star, National Defense Medal, Presidential Citation and United Nations Medal. Davy then served in the Army Reserves until 1960.
In 1955 Davy Crockett followed his passion of hard work, ranching and timber management. He bought the 160 acre Everett Woodruff Farm and established the Crockett Ranch in Smith River. The original 160-acre dairy farm prospered and expanded to over 1,000 acres of beef, dairy, gravel mining and lily production. Davy also owned and managed over 500 acres of homestead timber land along the Winchuck River in southern Curry County.
On July 28, 1956, Davy married the love of his life, Joyce Baldwin in the Baptist Church in Brookings, Ore. Together, Davy and Joyce laughed, cried and persevered through the many tumultuous adventures of raising five children, ranching and managing a private resource business. From the 1964 flood that devastated the ranch; the federal regulations that eliminated most gravel mining on the Smith River; to the Hollywood-funded environmental interests' attempts to shut down the lily industry; together Davy and Joyce lived the success story of rugged individualism, the backbone of America.
Davy Crockett is survived by his wife of 55 ½ years, Joyce; his children – Elizabeth Crockett, Crescent City; Donnie Crockett, Smith River; Linda Crockett, Smith River; Becky Crockett (husband Jim Grossman), Portland, Ore.; and Margaret Crockett, Portland, Ore. His brother Vernon Crockett, Coquille, Ore.; sister Carole Crockett, Harbor, Ore.; brother-in-law David Baldwin (wife Karen). His grandchildren – David Veilleux, Cindy Hogan (husband Brett), Victoria Crockett, Leilani Crockett, Lily Crockett, Andrew Grossman Crockett, Jacob Grossman Crockett, Mahlanya Crockett and Nadianna Crockett. His great-grandchildren – Brittany Hogan, Benjamin Hogan and Jadyn Allen.
A celebration of Davy Crockett's life is planned for Saturday, March 3, 2012, at 11 a.m. at the Crescent City Foursquare Church. Donations in honor of Davy Crockett can be made to Del Norte County Historical Society 577 "H" Street, Crescent City, CA 95531.

5 Things You Should Do Before Your Kids Join Social Media Sites
5 of 6
Set the Privacy Settings Together
Without proper privacy settings in place, millions of people have access to any photos and information your child posts. For example, if your child has an unrestricted Twitter or Facebook account, friends of friends (of friends... of friends... you get the idea) can see all photos, status updates, tweets, Instagram photos, and more, that she posts. Additionally, some sites (like Facebook) allow a user's location to be posted. Since many Facebook users have hundreds (even thousands) of friends, the number of people who can find information on your child's account can be staggering.
Set your child's privacy settings so that only trusted friends and family can see any activity. Don't allow your child's location to be posted, and warn her about the safety implications that posting (or "checking in") where she is might pose.

Toy building sets are one of the most effective early toys that you can buy your child, and the educational and entertainment value can last into the tween years. Building blocks and similar items help a child to harness creativity, develop fine motor skills and hone logic-based abilities. Before your child can write, tie his or her shoes or button buttons, he or she will be able grasp and benefit from building toys. Sears offers one of the largest and most diverse collections of such toy anywhere and has the shapes, colors and themes perfect for your child, whatever his or her tastes.
Building sets are available from all the major brands, including Fisher-Price, LEGO and Mega Bloks. Sets range from simple and perfect for beginners to complex and appropriate for advanced learners seeking a challenge. For the youngest builders, you'll find sets that are easy to build and disassemble, and some can even function as baby ride on toys or serve other purposes when assembled. For older children, you'll find sophisticated architectural and mechanical sets that greatly expand their learning possibilities.
Basic toy blocks come in a wide range of themes, including animals and alphanumeric characters, that enable the parent to teach while the child has fun stacking. Not all building sets are block based, however. The products from K'nex, for instance, allow a child to achieve functioning mechanics. Products from LEGO and Mega Bloks, on the other hand, excel at letting the child build structures.
Many of the building block sets available at Sears serve a dual-purpose. On one hand, each set includes a concept that the child must achieve by following instructions or the parent's guidance. On the other hand, each set adds to the child's personal block collection, which he or she can use to build anything imaginable. In fact, some sets are coveted simply because they provide an unusual building piece that simply isn't replicated elsewhere.
The building toys available at Sears are a worthwhile investment in your child's future. They're also loads of fun and scratch a collector's itch while providing a platform for creativity.

A Manhattan man says he's considering a run against Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Aaron Estabrook says he is forming an exploratory committee to look into running against Roberts, who's up for re-election in 2014.
Estabrook, an Army veteran, works at the Salvation Army as a case manager for homeless veterans in northern Kansas. He says he'd run under the banner of the "Moderate Party of Kansas," a political action committee he co-founded last year. He ran unsuccessfully for the Kansas House as a Democrat last year.
Roberts spokeswoman Sarah Little says Roberts doesn't take any election for granted "and will continue to fight for Kansans each and every day whomever his opponent may be." Roberts is a Marine Corps veteran.

I'm seeing a new small hole on my hardwood floor since last week. It almost looks like it was a black spot before and then it became a hole. Is this because I didn't maintain the floor? or is it some sort of insect that did it?
It's likely a knot that came loose. The circular grain around it sure makes it look that way. The wood can turn blackish like this if water gets in there and sits which could easily have happened with a small hole like that.
How a Pin Knot is formed. Broken branch with encased dead twig, when the branch split under snow load, the twig slid through the surrounding wood, surviving intact. Same thing happens on tree trunks when small branches die and don't break off.
Clean out the loose or soft darkened area with a utility knife.
Fill the hole with stainable wood filler that is close to the shade of the floor, such as this
After it dries, if you need to color it to blend in, try one of these markers.
If necessary, make it just barely darker than the surrounding wood. It will look like a small knot. The colors can be blended by putting small dots of diferent colors next to and over each other. Go slowly.
Seal it with a touch of polyurethane with the same sheen as the rest of the floor (it looks like a satin finish in the picture).
Black holes are caused by a massive body collapsing in on itself, creating a dense object with a gravitational field so strong that the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. Or, a knot falls out.
I'd drill out the dark matter around the hole, and fill it with a dowel to about 1/8 below the floor surface. Then I'd do my best finishing the top with wood filler.
If more holes appear, then check for various woodworms, wood beetles, fungus, and mould. Sometimes, larvae create a symbiotic relationship with fungus. Treat wood by removing polyurethane finish, or drill a bit. Apply boron, creosote (not appropriate here), LOSP, or CCA (not appropriate here). Seal.
Get a dehumidifier to reduce relative humidity to at least 50%. Vacuum at least every 5 days, and avoid "dead" products, such as down, feathers, wool, silk, etc. since they can create a favourable environment for other pests.
Agreed, replacing the panel is best however it is a lot of work. An alternative is to use a reamer cutter (a sort of parallel cutting tool-make sure you can get a plug cutter of the same size or slightly larger)slightly larger than the blemish. Cut in at appx 45 degrees in line with the grain. Cut a plug from scrap, with good waterproof glue (Cascamite is good) tap the plug in well moistened with glue GRAIN ALIGNED with the board. When set use a sharp chisel to 'nip off' the end of the plug and finish with fine sanding and local refinishing of the floor. One will be left with a barely noticeable oval plug grain matched to the surrounding floor.

I am wondering if when writing a chord progression, all the notes fit within a single scale.
If not, what is the logic behind chord progressions?
I am wondering if when writing a chord progression, all the notes fit within a single scale.
If not, what is the logic behind chord progressions?
In your average chord progression, most of the time all of the notes will stay in the scale that correlates with the key of your song. If the song is in G major, your chords will contain notes that are found in that scale- G major, C major, D major, E minor, A minor, B minor.
When you find a chord in a progression that contains some note that is not part of your original scale, it is most likely from a "related" key. This term refers to keys that are a perfect fifth away, in both directions, from your original key.
Let's continue to use G major as our original key: A perfect fifth up from G is D and down is C. You will sometimes see the chord A major sneak into a G major chord progression. This chord is taken from the key of D major. The same with an F major chord. F is sharp in the key of G major, but is natural in the key of C major. Usually these chords lead in a certain direction when used in a foreign key (In the key of G, A major would resolve to D major; F major would resolve to C) but they do not have to.
Another set of related keys from which you can borrow chords are relative majors/ minors and parallel majors/ minors. The relative minor key uses the same key signature as the major key it is derived from (G major and E minor). However, using the harmonic minor mode of the minor scale gives us a raised seventh scale degree. In E minor, D would become D# allowing us to use a B major chord.
Parallel minors/ majors are simple: G major's parallel minor is G minor; E minor's parallel major is E major.
In the rock song Creep by Radiohead, the key of the song is G major; the chord progression is G major-B major-C major-C minor. This progression repeats throughout the entire song.
If you are interested in going further down the rabbit hole, you can also use parallel and relative major/ minors derived from the related keys as well. I hope this is a good resource for the logic behind chord progressions.
That's probably a much more interesting question than you think it is, with the ever-so-useful answer, "It depends."
I'm going to assume that you're playing Western, common practice music in a pop (Jazz/Rock/R&B/et al) idiom, the sort of music with harmony that harks back to Renaissance counterpoint. Basically, the music you hear on mainstream radio or performed by the cast of Glee.
Under that assumption, the answer is "No." As to the logic?
Consider a good Little Richard chord progression: C F C F C G F C
All of those chords have scale-tone roots (we're in C...) and only have scale-tone pitches in them. Now a VERY common sound in Western music is that G-C transition. That's the dominant-to-tonic transition.
One very common alternative would be to play a series of dominant-to-tonic transitions using what are called "secondary dominants," as you'd hear here:
The logic in this case is that A7 is the dominant of D, D7 is the dominant of G, and G7 is the dominant of C, which brings us back home.
Mozart did this in his 40th symphony (KV 550), Gershwin did it in "Someone to Watch Over Me"
There's a couple dozen metric tonnes of background info I'm glossing over, as well as a myriad of other Western and non-Western musical styles, each with their own rules and conventions.
Google is very much your friend here.
It depends entirely on the genre, and that is actually one of the defining characteristics of genre.
A very large part of what makes a certain genre sound a certain way is the typical chord voicings used (just triads? are there sevenths? are there ninthes? are there altered upper notes?) and the kind of progressions used (purely diatonic? some tonicization? modulations to IV and V? distant modulations?)

Thanks Frank!
Watching Danny play again was wonderful!
Love to see Danny back!!

The story of this game is PG just destroying James Harden in every way imaginable. That dude is gonna have nightmares.
Granger had some great passes, you can see he was a step slow, as he was concentrating on his dribbling.
Granger is still on the court chucking the ball....
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
And like I said on the other thread there is no way in hell Houston is a contender.
Not sure how Danny only got credited with 2 assists. He was really passing well out there.
This space for rent.
Can we just trade Hill already?
No coincidence that certain posters are not present tonight after a dominant win..
Change is neither good or bad, it simply is.
To be fair....Granger did seem to have a lot of rust to shake off when it comes to his shooting.
Does his shooting form seem off or different?
He had a lot of turnovers...but he seemed to be passing the ball alot more than I thought he would.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
OHHH, we were only 3 assists from 33, that would have been interesting.
He had a good game. Hit big shots.

Wow...I know, you shouldn't get too high after such a big W, but it's Dannys comeback and I have been Pacersfan since 07/08, so I really want Danny to succeed here! But don't fool urself, this Rockets team plays absoloutley NO DEFENSE besides this Howard guy. Wow...Paul George takes Harden out of this game and there goes the Houston offense. They won't win against us...we didn't even need DWest tonight. LOL! Go Danny! Go Pacers!
I was impressed with Danny's passing. He did a surprisingly excellent job setting up both Ian and Scola.
Lance-Granger-Scola-Watson-Ian is going to be a killer bench in a few months.
PG is just to long and fast for Harden. This is the PG I like to see. He was really aggressive tonight, didn't shoot well, and still put up and MVP type game. Beautiful.
hopefully that garbage time performance gets Ian's confidence up
That was Pacers basketball, ladies and gents.
That is all.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Danny seemed to be pretty in sync with the offense. His shot isn't there yet and isn't there on defense yet either. Had some miscommunications for sure on that end. Overall I'm happy with his game. It will come with time.
An absolute stomping of Houston. PG totally dismantled Harden. Howard played well, dude is still a beast.
I liked how everyone was saying Danny would come in and be some chucker. He was looking to set-up a lot of guys tonight. I was enthused with his play. His legs aren't quite under him yet, but just by being Danny Granger, he should be a big boost to this bench.

After two failed attempts at taking out a reactor, AVALANCHE decided to escalate the stakes. Rather than just hit one of the eight reactors surrounding Midgar, they would go for the heart of the Shin-Ra Corporation: the building that stood at the center of the city, reminding all of Midgar's citizens who was in charge. Back on the team from the first successful mission, djnealb would resume his role as bombmaker, this time making a more impressive explosive than ever before. ZombiePlatypus, after having warmed the security guard's icy heart (and loins?), has convinced her to leave her post at Reactor #8 to help distract security at Shin-Ra HQ. Analoge would once again bring her hacking toolkit along, to gain access to the elevators leading to the top floors of the building. Artful-dodgeR, the new blood on the team, would have the relatively simple task of hitting the detonator once everything was in place. Flamoctapus, as team leader, would be directing the operation from the nondescript truck outside, ready to swoop in if any part of the plan were to go awry.
djnealb, Flamoctapus, ZombiePlatypus, Artful-dodgeR, Analoge: send me a PM whether you would like the mission to PASS or FAIL. Unlike the voting for the teams, it will not be revealed who submitted which result. Remember, Resistance members must submit a PASS, while Spies may choose to submit a PASS or a FAIL.

Drawing this baby was pure fun and a learning experience. I've never done the tiny fabrics on a blanket like this before. So you and I are going to venture down this road and plunge into "How to Draw a Realistic Baby." I hope you get that wonderful feeling I got from drawing her big beautiful eyes, wisps of fine hair, juicy chewable cheeks and a Downy-soft blanket. *Mmmm...snuggle*

I experimented with trying to create a trigger for a system table (mysql.slow_log). It simply cannot be done. However, there is a rather unconventional method you may want to try:
Step 01) Activate the slow_log with the output as a table and restart mysql
Step 02) Convert slow_log to MyISAM, copy it to areva_log, and index slow_log on db
Step 03) Create a Stored Procedure to Copy all Slow Log entries whose db is areva into mysql.areva_log
Step 04) Call the stored procedure every 15 minutes using a crontab or using a mysql event
Step 05) Zap the slow log every week, month, or year:
Give it a Try !!!

Enlarging/reducing the view in navigator (ex. Safari)
Hi everyone. I'm discovering Sencha Animator (demo).
I made a basic animation (some small images moving on a bigger image as a background) very easily and it looks fine in Safari.
But if I enlarge or reduce the view (command-+ or command--) the background image gets bigger/smaller in a different way than the small images, which modify their relative positions compared to the background.
I did not find any way to avoid it.
19 Sep 2012 2:35 AM #2
Hi moet, and welcome to Animator forums,
This probably has to do with browsers not adjusting all sizes of page elements correctly after zoom while animation is running. Have you tried refreshing the page after you zoomed in? After refreshing, the browser should render all the elements zoomed in, with correct distances / proportions.
If the animation still appears incorrect after you refresh the page, please let us know.
19 Sep 2012 4:35 AM #3
Yes, you are right, the proportions are good after refreshing.
I conclude that it is better not to zoom in/out during a presentation. Someone should zoom in/out before it, or make the animations in a way that there is no need to zoom at all.

The national draft arrives
In terms of legislative accomplishments, the 37th Congress has been rivaled by few in American history. Laws for land-grant agricultural colleges, a transcontinental railroad and a federal income tax were just a few of its initiatives that would leave an indelible mark. It also enacted a variety of military measures in its efforts to raise, organize and maintain Union forces in the field. Foremost among these was the Enrollment Act that Abraham Lincoln signed March 3, 1863.
This legislation was not the first conscription measure to appear during the Civil War. That distinction belongs to a law enacted by the Confederacy on April 16, 1862.

The 5 Weirdest Things That Influence Your Dreams
#2. Unpleasant Smells Lead to Unpleasant Dreams
We all know that our dreams can be influenced by things that are happening in our sensory environment -- the aliens we're shooting at might suddenly begin shrieking the same sound as our alarm clock, or the supermodel we're making love to might begin to bark at us just as the annoying dog next door wakes up. But now research has shown that smells in our environment affect our dreams as well, but not in the way you'd think.
"Sir, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave the store."
Scientists in Germany experimented on 15 subjects by pumping different smells into the room as they entered REM sleep. During the study, they wafted the odors of things like rotten eggs and roses across the noses of the sleeping subjects and asked them about their dreams after they awoke. It turns out that the unpleasant smells tended to trigger more negative dreams, as you'd suspect, but the dreams didn't have anything to do with the smells (the smell of something rotten didn't make them dream of zombies or fart monsters or anything like that).
The researchers believe that this is due to the effect that smell has on the limbic system of the brain, which governs emotion and behavior. This appears to be a hugely underrated factor in how our brains work, by the way -- we did a whole article a while back on weird ways you're subconsciously affected by smells and learned that manipulating smells is almost a form of mind control. According to one expert, our sense of smell alone has "direct access to the subconscious areas of the brain, which affects emotion, mood, and memory." Even when you sleep.
"This smells great! Now, about that whole sleep thing ..."
So if you're suffering from chronic nightmares, maybe you should think less about the stress in your life and more about the whole farting roommate situation.
#1. Creative People Remember More of Their Dreams
Everything on this list so far has hinged on one unspoken factor: whether you can even remember your dreams at all. All of these surveys and studies were based on people who could actually remember what they dreamed about, and some of us can't -- we just wake up with a vague memory of something unpleasant happening, and maybe that it involved spiders. Well, according to researchers, the more creative you are, the less difficulty you have in remembering your dreams in the morning. This may seem like an abstract and ambiguous category to try sorting people into, but the researchers looked at variables such as being "prone to absorption, imaginativeness, daydreaming, and fantasizing," and concluded that people who scored high on these factors tended to remember their dreams more often.
"Two words: 'evil dick.'"
You might think that this is just a result of whatever chemicals those artsy types were putting into their bodies, but the results were adjusted for things like intake of caffeine and alcohol (which, as those of us who write for a living can attest, tend to spike harder as deadlines begin to dominate our lives). It didn't matter -- the creative types still retained their dreams better.
According to psychology professor David Watson, "People who are prone to daydreaming and fantasy have less of a barrier between states of sleep and wakefulness and seem to more easily pass between them." It sounds similar to the mechanism that lets gamers control their dreams -- apparently that whole bridge between your waking and dreaming mind is something that is built with practice.
"I can't even differentiate between the two anymore. In my eyes, everyone burns."
So if, when trying to concentrate on a lecture, you find yourself inexorably drifting toward wondering how well the lecture hall could survive a zombie apocalypse, then you're probably more likely to remember what you dream about each evening (which, we suppose, is probably fighting a zombie apocalypse).

Where Aren't They Now?: 15 Overlooked Deaths of 2008
How many greats have we lost this year? Heath Ledger. Bernie Mac. George Carlin. Charlton Heston. Arthur C Clarke. Michael Crichton. Jenny, the world's oldest Gorilla. When these luminaries pass, the media stops and heaps on praise.
But then there are the unsung deaths, the people whose passing went largely unnoticed, but deserved better.
#15. January 7: The Greatest Competitive Eater of All Time
Edward Abraham 'Bozo' Miller, Gastronomical Champion of competitive eating
"Natural causes"
The Legacy:
This is a man who weighed 300 pounds, ate up to 25,000 calories per day, once ate 1000 packets of potato chips (flavor unspecified) and one time drank a lion under the table. Yet he lived until the age of 89 and married a former Princess of the Pasadena Rose Bowl (basically, a beauty queen). He was what all of America aspires to be.
#14. January 10: Vampira
Maila Nurmi, the actress
Again, natural causes. DAMN YOU, NATURE!
The Legacy:
She was perhaps the first to combine horror and huge boobies, a combination that many believe should never be separated.
#13. January 24: Jahna The Show "Girl"
Jahna Steele, a Las Vegas showgirl who was voted "Sexiest Showgirl on the Strip" in 1991, and "Most Beautiful Showgirl" in 1993. She also happened to have a penis.
Unknown. She was working on her tell-all autobiography at the time, entitled Always a Lady (until you see the bulge, of course).
The Legacy:
Jahna passed himself off as a woman for years, draining the strip-club funds of countless unsuspecting bachelor parties. She-males now flock to the strip to try their luck as a dancer. Thus, Jahna turned getting drunk and trying to take a showgirl back to your room into just another way to gamble in Vegas.
#12. January 26: Marlon Brando's Son
Christian Brando, murderer and wife beater. His parents had a bad divorce, and at 13 his mother gained sole custody. The same year he was pulled out of school to travel in Mexico. Around the same time he was kidnapped by a group of his mom's hippie friends. Marlon Brando got it fixed and was awarded custody.
In 1990, he shot his half-sister Cheyenne's boyfriend. Cheyenne was pregnant at the time. She committed suicide five years later. They're not exactly the happiest showbiz family we've ever heard about.
The Legacy:
Cautionary tale for celebrity babies everywhere. Think before you make any bad choices, Maddox Jolie-Pitt.
#11. March 10: Inventor of SpaghettiO's
Kurt Eberling, Sr. After fighting with Germany in the Korean War, he got a job at the Campbell Soup Company. One day he was just chillin' at his house, staring at his kitchen, when he saw a piece of spaghetti curled up in the sink. This gave him a thought: he approached his supervisor with the concept of tinned spaghetti and meatballs, and SpaghettiOs were born.
Being that this was the forties, we assume this was after he beat his wife for keeping a dirty kitchen, but before his six post-work martinis.
The Legacy:
This is the kind of story that desperate middle aged salesmen, a la Gil from The Simpsons, dream about until their dying day. They wind up scouring their house for that one idea that will make them rich ... then finally go to their boss with, "um, what if ... we sold dust, spider webs and broken dreams in a bottle?"
#10. March 25: The Daddy of the Egg McMuffin
Herb Peterson, Food Scientist. March was a bad year for guys who invented convenient meals. Two days before Peterson, Al Copeland, founder of Popeye's Chicken also died.
Peterson invented the Egg McMuffin in 1972, a process that surely involved eating every combination of bread, eggs, cheese and bacon. It's every fat kid's dream (up there with "finding witch dead in her gingerbread house, with no living relatives").
Peacefully at home, with his family. Presumably surrounded by warm muffins, perfectly circular eggs, melted cheese and crispy, crispy bacon. The breakfasty scent being the last thing he was conscious of as he drifted off.
The Legacy:
We can't think of one. We're too hungry.
#9. April 9: The Fucker Who Created the Chicken Dance
Bob Kames. Polka musician, member of the Wisconsin Area Music Industry's Hall of Fame, guy who recorded over seventy albums. So we mock him for the Chicken Dance, but what the fuck have we done today?
We should tell you that the Chicken Dance single was released in Poland in 1983, and sold 300,000 copies. Not just a little bit of this, and a little bit of that. Poland during the 80s was utterly retarded for polka.
Prostate cancer, a symptom of which is painful ejaculation or difficulty achieving an erection. Though one of his albums was entitled Happy Organ, so at least he had some good times before it.
The Legacy:
Many ruined wedding receptions, and now you having the chicken dance stuck in your head until Easter.
#8. May 4: Pringles Can Inventor
Fred Baur, chemist and food storage technician.
Alzheimer's. At Baur's request, he was cremated and a portion of his ashes were buried in a Pringles can.
The Legacy:
A delicious new flavor, "Sizzlin' Smokin' Charred Old Man." Sorry, that was wrong. Actually he did inspire us to be cremated with our greatest achievement, and we will thus be buried with several gigabytes of dick jokes.

Some interesting things I found recently:
Ranjit Bhatnager bought a toy piano on eBay, but it got damaged in transport.
For Awesome August I'm trying to make something of this ebay toy piano that got smashed by UPS. The music is Philip Glass's "Modern Love Waltz," inspired by toy pianist Margaret Leng Tan. (I used it previously)

# Advanced Drum Editing in Kontakt – Michael Hetrick's tutorial is aimed at anybody new to Kontakt or Komplete 5, people who haven't really explored Kontakt's groups, or anybody looking for a new, creative approach to beat-mangling.
Dan "Danno" Miller recently posted about my samples on his website. He is running a music production blog that offers free, downloadable, royalty free, high quality, one shot wav file, drum samples with virtually no restrictions of use.
Dan writes:
Whether you're just dabbling in music production or you're the hottest mega-producer in the game, you will always need new, crisp, high quality, punch you in the mouth drum samples. Most producers are very secretive with their drum samples. They spend a lot of time and money tweaking their kicks, hats, and snares to try to come up with their signature sounds. While I do feel that developing your sound is important and I would encourage all producers to do so, it's also important to expand you drum collection so you have a buttload of options. I look at it like this; just because you give two painters the same paints, doesn't mean they'll paint the same picture. So I'm sharing my drums, presets, tips, etc. with the hope that someday a producer will come along, be inspired by what i've given away for free, think outside the box, and create music that's completely different.
# Tapeography – Turkish designer Ersinhan Ersin did some cool designs with cassette tapes.
ArpShift is a melodic, interval based, poly-rhythmic arpeggiator. It's relatively simplistic in nature with only 3 pages and 7 lanes. However, it is flexible in it's simplicity, and is able to take stagnant melodies and turn them into flowing, never repeating music.
# Human Synthesizer with Calvin Harris, Lots of Girls, Electric Ink – CDM takes a look behind the scenes.
Through the power of skin-safe conductive ink, Scottish electronic artist Calvin Harris has collaborated with a team to make a synthesizer out of himself and a group of models in bikinis.
It's already viral, and yes they should've done this with old men in speedos instead, right?

45 Nano Cases are made from reclaimed cassette tapes, gutted, routered and rebuilt to fit your 4th generation iPod nano.
# Radiohead refuse to make another album
From MusicRadar: Radiohead singer Thom Yorke says the band will not be making another 'full' album for as long as he can see.
In an interview with US magazine The Believer, the singer said:
"None of us want to go into that creative hoo-ha of a long-play record again. Not straight off.
"I mean, it's just become a real drag. It worked with In Rainbows because we had a real fixed idea about where we were going. But we've all said that we can't possibly dive into that again. It'll kill us.
"I mean, obviously, there's still something great about the album. It's just, for us, right now, we need to get away from it a bit… In Rainbows was a particular aesthetic and I can't bear the idea of doing that again. Not that it's not good, I just can't… bear… that."

Officers and engineers aboard an LNG carrier are busy. They require real-time, user-friendly data derived from the vessel's systems, as well as accurate individual metrics.
[data monitoring]
When installing a data collection platform onboard new
liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, the first step is to
gather as much knowledge as possible about onboard operations.
The results of this data collection help determine vessel
efficiency, which, in turn, assists owners in maximizing ship
efficiency and operations.
Todays LNG carriers are amazing feats of engineering
(Fig. 1). The ship cargo is extremely
dangerous because of its highly flammable properties.
Furthermore, the dual-fuel/tri-fuel engines used, as well as
the occasional presence of reliquefication plants, make these
vessels among the most complex floating engineering projects in the world.
The transport of LNG can be compared to running with a full
soft drink can in a backpack. When the can is shaken, some of
its contents will vaporize as CO2, which increases
the cans internal pressure. A similar process occurs in a
tank filled with LNG, although the somewhat inert gas is
replaced with a variety of different natural gases [i.e.,
boiloff gas (BOG)]. The increasing pressure must be relieved by
releasing gas from the tank.
LNG tanks are extremely well insulated to limit the BOG that
naturally occurs after a cargo is loaded. Typically, the cargo
is loaded at an approximate temperature of −170°C.
However, despite the insulation, a small percentage of the LNG
cargo is converted to gas during each day of a sea voyage. The
size of the percentage will depend on the efficiency of the
insulation and the weather patterns en route.
Improvements in insulation and clever engineering have
increased storage effectiveness. A small number of LNG vessels
are now equipped with reliquefication plants that are able to
reliquefy the excess BOG and return it to the tanks, making
these ships more environmentally efficient. For the
majority of vessels not equipped with reliquefication plants,
the excess gas can be used for running vessel engines or
boilers. In practice, however, LNG carrier operations are more
complicated than this description suggests.
Rough seas are part of the scenario. These types of sea
states can behave exactly like the example of a soft drink can
in a backpack, jostling the cargo about and increasing the
pressure in the tanks. On one of the authors recent LNG
carrier trips, the ship encountered not one but two typhoons.
Typhoons Francisco and Lekima kept the officers and crew on
alert, but the ship was able to sail through the storms without
any problems. Some of the excess gas was used in the engines;
the rest was reliquefied. In this type of situation, older LNG
ships may have been forced to burn the fuel without using
Complex vessels should be matched with sophisticated, yet
easily understood, data-gathering solutions. The first step of
the process is data integration. Data is collected from
the various automated systems already installed onboard, as
well as from proprietary sensors. Readings are also received
from other equipment located on the bridge or in the cargo
control room.
This deep integration is necessary to obtain the highest
level of accuracy regarding the ships physical behavior.
Essentially, all of the information being gathered must be
validated. Sensors are attempting to analyze real phenomena,
and trusting such devices should be done with caution before a
proper calibration is performed.
This data can be used to observe how offset a speed log is
(Fig. 2), or to monitor the reading errors of
an anemometer, for example. These actions are essential to
understanding the actual performance of a carrier. They also
aid in the modeling of ship energy usage and in mapping the
breakdown of where energy is consumed. On an LNG vessel,
numerous systems are the source of hundreds of variables. The
initial target of a data collection platform is to make sense
of this information, and to present it in a normalized
Measurements performed onboard will also be taken into
account to better reflect the forecast measurements provided
from onshore. Forecast and data share one simple fact: taken
alone, the flow coming out of a device or data source is only
as reliable as the device or the forecast itself. Ship-wide
integration of a platform can help put into context all of that
information, as in the speed log example.
The third step of the process is the actual data crunching
to provide the optimum guidelines typically seen on the
display. Onboard and onshore dedicated calculation servers are
provided to improve the accuracy of the optimums.
During the installation of the system described earlier, the
weather threatened to delay the carriers arrival to the
next port. However, the integrated system enabled the rapid
approximation of an estimated time of arrival, taking into
account all of the effects of the rough weather and its energy
cost. Engineers could then use the prediction regarding the
required energy necessary to reach the next port as close to
the original schedule as possible.
Officers and engineers aboard an LNG carrier are extremely
busy. They require real-time, user-friendly data derived from
the vessels systems, as well as accurate individual
metrics. Maximizing fuel efficiency should not trump other
tactical, on-the-spot decisions needed to ensure that the ship
continues to sail as safely as possible with its strategic
cargo. HP

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

pureguardian™ 70-Hour Ultrasonic Humidifier with Silver Clean™ Technology for $49.99 + $5 shipping
Ultrasonic is, like, 1000% more super than Supersonic. Believe me. Your sinuses will throw you a party. A good one with really good snacks.
5 Comments add a comment
I purchased a refurbished PureGuardian R3010 humidifier (different model) last April. Tested it out when I received it and put it away until the winter. After a few days of use, the tank leaked all over the shelf it was sitting on, and of course the 30-day refurb warranty is expired.
Aside from the leaking tank, I liked the humidifier. I switched from a Vicks cool mist humidifier I purchased at Walmart that required daily cleaning and always had yellow slime forming inside the tank. In the week I used the PureGuardian (I placed it on a drain tray for a while but the tray started to sag and collect water) I didn't notice any mold or slime buildup.
I would also be more comfortable with this one, as it is new with a 3-year warranty, but I will probably end up just spending the $10 + $4.99 shipping to buy a replacement tank for my current one.
Be warned : if you have hard water you'll need to clean the ultrasonic disc often. (My water is so hard I had to give up on the ultrasonic humidifiers.)
@jackjfg: We have very hard water. I need to descale the glass dutch oven I was simmering on the stove as a primitive vaporizer when I was trying to get over a sinus infection last week. It's white with gunk (lime? salt? whatever.) I am waiting for the comments to come in on this device, I am thinking about getting it but I expect I'd have to used distilled water for it. Distilled will work, yes? I know it has some odd properties.
I looked at the site but I am unsure what direction the mist comes out. Anybody know?
@moondrake: the mist comes out of the white disc on the top which can be turned 360 degrees.
@prettywootprincess you deal is dead my dear!

"Las Otras: (Re)Imaging Queer Latin@s" is an exhibition of naturally lit, medium-format portraits by Lupe Salinas, the 2012 Constantiner Fellowship award winner in the Department of Photography & Imaging at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. It will open November 30, 2012 and remain on view through January 2, 2013.
Established in 2005, the Leon and Michaela Contantiner Fellowship enables one graduating senior from the Department of Photography & Imaging each year to pursue a project. The Constantiners are photography collectors interested in supporting promising young artists.
Originally from Idaho, Lupe Salinas ('11) is a New York-based artist who explores themes of home, family, and identity within the Latino/a culture, which is reflected in her BFA thesis, Our House On Main. "Las Otras" is a collaboration meant to show the diversity and solidarity of Queer Latin@s. They are a small group that has been largely underrepresented; their identity is an intersection of two distinct and diverse subcultures. Like the @ symbol in Latin@, they are both the 'a' and 'o,'—female and male, and identities in between. Las Otras are Queer Latin@s. By (re)imaging an often disregarded group through collaborative image and text, "Las Otras" offers insight to (re)think and (re)visualize the Queer Latin@ identity.
The exhibition runs from Nov. 30, 2012 through Jan. 17, 2013 in the Gulf & Western Gallery, located at 721 Broadway. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays, and noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays. The exhibition is open to the public and admission is free. A photo ID is required when entering the building. (Please note: The building will be closed for NYU's winter recess from Dec. 22, 2012 through Jan. 1, 2013.)
The Department of Photography & Imaging is an intensive four-year BFA program centered on the making and understanding of images. It is a diverse department embracing multiple perspectives. The students work in virtually all modes of analog, digital, and multimedia photo-based image making, exploring photo-based imagery as personal and cultural expression.

The World Food Program (WFP) welcomed a $4 million donation from the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Campaign for the Relief of the Palestinian People in Gaza.
"This is a timely and extremely welcome donation that will help the people of Gaza in their hour of need," said Christine van Nieuwenhuyse, the WFP's representative in the Palestinian territories. She noted that the money will be used to purchase wheat flour, vegetable oil, sugar and salt.
