When it comes to decisions that take lives on behalf of the American people, "moral rectitude" is no substitute for transparency in the Obama administration.
Posts Tagged: drones
Drone strikes in southern Yemen are radicalizing the population.
Civilians killed in drone attacks are sometimes classified as militants.
Though well-intentioned, the use of drones to conduct surveillance for human rights violations is ill-advised.
The United States levels the moral playing field by blasting it to pieces.
For sheer chutzpah, nothing can beat the U.S. request to Iran for the return of the downed drone.
In the U.S. refusal to track down the downed drone in Iran, Iran finds yet another cassus belli.
The CIA's drone war in Pakistan is setting precedents that will one day come back to haunt America.
Another round of flooding in Pakistan offers the United States an opportunity to build goodwill in a strained relationship.
There are no pilots to black out in drones, as has happened in stealth fighters.

Owners' description is as follows. Orion was originally built in Holland in 1920 as a steam tug boat. It stayed in service until the late sixties. In about 1990 it was taken from basically a bare hull, rub rail to rub rail, and converted into a wishbone schooner for chartering in Europe. The constuuction met all Dutch passenger carrying specifications. She was used in charters for about ten years carrying 12 passengers and a crew of three.
The Orion is easily handled by a couple, which is how she has been used for the last 20 years.
About year 2000 Orion was sailed to Vancouver for chartering in British Colombia. The present owners purchased it there in 2001 and completely rebuilt the interior and had SeaTec shipyard add a bow and stern thruster and complete hydraulics. The boat was then sand blated and painted. All bright work was redone. Since that time the boat has been cruised by a husband and wife team from Vancouver, BC, down the pacific coast, through the canal and through the Caribbean. Orion is presently in Isla San Andres a Colombian island about 200 miles north of the Panama Canal off the coast of Nigaragua.

I ordered this for my kitchen/dinning table as I was looking for something that was a little contemporary and traditional at the same time. It came with a few crystal broken which overstock finally replaced after waiting for the manufacturer to return their request for replacement crystal. Very bad customer service on behalf of the manufacturer not overstock. The quality is fair. The shade is somewhat nylon like ribbon wrapped around the frame. The black crystals are ok not particularly expensive looking. The wire is very short so if you want it hanging low this is not for you it would need rewriting. Overall I would not buy it again and shall keep it up until I find something I like better of better quality then move it to another room that is not so visual every day.
Loved the product. It is exactly as pictures and describes.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? perfect
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. excellent

Kalamazoo Valley student Alexis Reed is such a talented illustrator that one of her drawings has been selected to represent the college's Center for New Media. Her octopus drawing, called Let Me Help You, will be used in promotional materials. So far it has been displayed on the college website and on a bookmark and a DVD. To create the piece, Reed mixed her graphite drawing of an octopus with a photo of a hand gripping a pencil. "I used Photoshop to combine them like puzzle pieces," Reed explained.
Having her work selected to promote the CNM reinforced her confidence. "It got me out there and got me to realize that I am a true artist and I can succeed."
Reed came to Kalamazoo Valley after graduating from Paw Paw High School in 2010. An art teacher there encouraged her to continue to develop her artistic ability, but she had planned to study psychology. After a change of heart she is pursuing an art degree instead. "I decided to go into art and art education because it's a dying field and I want to keep it going," Reed said. "Kids need to be able to express themselves. When I grew up I was drawing all the time. It was a way that I could express myself. I could use it to get my anger, sadness or even happiness out."
Reed's first class at the CNM was a watercolor class. "Just coming in here and seeing how beautiful the architecture is and how inspiring it is made the environment so much better," she said. "Being in a classroom with natural lighting from big, beautiful windows and painting with an awesome instructor just made this the right fit for me."
Reed loves the challenge involved in illustration. "I've always enjoyed drawing and composition as well as concept development," she said. "I really like solving a problem. That's basically what art is for me – a problem I can solve in lots of different ways." As a portfolio student, she and her classmates have created projects for outside customers. She is part of a team that's creating a website for a dachshund breeder. She has enjoyed the challenge of meeting deadlines and creating designs that must meet the client's approval. "It's given us a real look at what it's going to be like in the workforce," Reed said. "We'll know the program right out of college."
In addition to her studies at the CNM, Reed is an intern at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum where she creates art projects to complement the Hands-On events for children. "It's been a wonderful experience and a really big challenge," Reed said. "I really enjoy my job." Reed said all of her interactions at Kalamazoo Valley have been positive. "The instructors know the business and what it's going to take for us to be successful," she said. Reed has high praise for instructor Aubrey Hardaway because of her talent as well as her caring attitude. "She's just fun and she wants to know how you're doing and how you're feeling about the work that you're doing," Reed said.
Hardaway said she's impressed with Reed's ability. "Alexis is a stellar artist, invoking imagination and fantastical storytelling. Her technical skills are very strong and she is able to apply them to create pieces of art that leave a lasting impression," Hardaway said. "I'm honored to know such an amazing student and artist."
Reed is certain that she'll be prepared for success as a professional illustrator. "I'm getting the same skills as I would at a four year college," she said. "What I love most about Kalamazoo Valley is that everyone wants to see students succeed in life."

The secret to a great porn parody is doing the homework. It's doubtful, directors Reno Ash and Michelle Lay have ever caught an episode of the popular medical drama, Grey's Anatomy. More detail to script and acting could have easily taken this video from clever title to smart parody.
All is not lost, however. Latin spitfire Daisy Marie is a big bowl of cuteness as she smiles and coos Spanish fuck slang to guerro Jack Lawrence. This is a girl to keep an eye on.

Read an Excerpt
Dealing with Sprites is like stapling raw eggs to a wall.
Slippery, nasty things that go bad when not cleaned up. And I don't mean giving them a bath.
This one was picking his hairy nose.
As he stood by the big toe of the Statue of Liberty, the Sprite flicked a booger off his finger. Gross. The breeze carried the sickly-sweet odor of burnt sugar to me. All Sprites smell like burnt sugar. At least all the ones I'd ever met.
The Sprite wiped the back of his hand across his brown, mottled face, streaking bright paint over his lumpy cheek. His worn clothing was drenched in the same color and he slid a paintbrush into the bucket he carried.
In the moonlight, paint gleamed on the statue's enormous toenails and I sighed.
Lovely. The Sprite had given Liberty a pedicure.
That reminded me that I needed to get together with the girls for a spa day.
Protuberant glassy blue eyes shifted in my direction but I was certain the Sprite couldn't make me out in the darkness. Most Dark Elves—Drow—can easily blend with the shadows and night and it's a talent I inherited despite my human half.
Don't get me wrong, I love my human side. Sometimes it's a disadvantage and sometimes it's an advantage. Just depends on who I am at the time.
After sunrise, I'm a normal-looking human paranorm PI with a penchant for designer clothing.
As a PI I get tough and usually dangerous cases that involve strategizing, investigating, and using my paranorm powers. Sometimes I bring in other paranorms to help shut down evil, like Demons and sick scientists bent on paranorm genocide. Cases that most don't even know exist—especially humans.
I have all of the typical human skills I bring to the job. But I'm also a trained fighter and I have powers—paranormal powers vital to defeat the kinds of enemies humans would never be able to deal with.
When the sun goes down I become Drow, my body changing, my skin and hair turning shades usually found only in the realm of the Dark Elves. My hair is cobalt blue and my skin like pale amethyst marble. I also have very small fangs that I'm not crazy about, and like all Elves, my ears become pointed. I'm fine with the pointed-ears thing.
By night I was a Night Tracker.
Trackers had the power and resources to do what humans could not. With our physical strength and powers, including magic, we could take down threats that no one else had a chance of doing. We were equivalent to a combination of covert ops in the human CIA and a military special forces like the Navy SEALS or the Rangers.
Tonight I'd just tracked down this booger-flicking mischievous, malevolent being.
When the Sprite looked away, I kept close to the instep of the statue and eased through the shadows while gripping one of my dragon-clawed daggers. The seventeen-inch-long, two-inch-wide Drow-made daggers had been designed just for me.
I gathered my elemental strength, my primary strength. The element I used most often was air, but there was plenty of water around if I needed it right now.
My leather fighting suit hugged my body as I moved. Most Trackers preferred leather because it was comfortable and helped protect against nasty scrapes. Black so we could blend in with the night.
I withdrew a step back into the darkness. I didn't want to give the Sprite a chance to escape.
I glanced at the moon, then at the Statue of Liberty's torch, and almost groaned out loud. How was that going to be explained? In the morning New York City's residents and tourists would get their first view of the statue and see that the formerly oxidized copper-green torch was now pink.
Neon pink.
The toenails would be easily taken care of … but the torch? Then I saw the Lady's lips and her glossy new pink lipstick. Sheesh.
This mess was probably too big for the Paranorm Council to cover up. There was only so much Soothsayers could do even as talented as most of them were.
As I looked up into the near darkness, I made out three Sprites swinging from the torch and then up and over the railing.
Muffled cries echoed from the base of the flame where other Night Trackers waited. Ice and Angel were taking care of their prey, no doubt with perfect efficiency.
Ice could be a jerk, but after working with him on the Werewolf case I'd come to appreciate him, even if I could still do without his jerk side. We all could, as a matter of fact.
Angel was like an avenging angel. Truly an amazing Tracker.
At the same time I heard the sounds, my ugly target jerked his head up and dropped his paint can with a hard clunk. Neon paint splattered the side of the statue's foot. The Sprite started to shimmer and fade, but I was already moving.
"No way," I shouted as I used my air elemental magic to push me faster. I forward-flipped through the air and landed on the Sprite, slamming him face-first in a puddle of paint. "You are so not going anywhere," I said as I drove him down.
He was completely solid again. My teeth clacked as my knees hit the brutal surface and I winced as I landed and straddled his back. If another being is touching them, Sprites can't use glamours—become invisible—at all. Unfortunately, since he wasn't in glamour, I could smell him. Ugh.
Sprites are some of the only beings who can use glamours to mask themselves and their strong smell from other paranorms. Most paranorms can see through glamours—with some exceptions, like Vampires. Vampires can't see through paranorm glamours because they were born human.
Before his first scream could escape, I grabbed one of the Sprite's tufts of matted blond hair, jerked his huge head up, and put my dagger at his neck. The blade bit into the paranorm's throat and a trickle of blood rolled down the Drow-mined and -forged metal.
My cobalt blue hair fell over my shoulders as I leaned close to the Sprite. I felt the dangerous white flash in my sapphire eyes. As a Tracker I was all business.
"Cooperate or I'll let you have a taste of Lightning, this pretty little dagger, later where the mess won't foul this place more than you already have." My voice was tight and low.
"Stupid purple bitch." The Sprite laughed, the sound like a scratchy cough. "You and the other idiot Trackers know nothing. We will tell you nothing."
Amethyst, came the instant but ridiculous thought.
Do not call me purple. Please. I'd hate to have to rough you up.
"I'm not worried." I moved my blade away a flash before I pushed his face against the copper-covered iron beneath us. "We'll encourage you plenty."
"Bitch," he shouted again before tacking on a few more foul words, these spoken in an ancient Fae language. Words that were really not nice. I brought his face down again.
The snap of his bulbous nose was loud to my pointed ears. Oops. I grimaced. Sometimes I forget my Drow strength can be a bit much.
Blood from his broken nose joined the neon pink paint coating his face. The Sprite howled a cry of pain. His words bubbled through blood as he spoke in a harsh breath. "There is nothing to tell you. We are just having fun, purple whore."
"Go ahead." I drew my 9mm Kahr and raised it. "Call me purple again." The whore part I let pass.
He glared at me with one eye as he twisted his head just enough that I could see him. "Purple—"
Okay, that was enough. "Nighty night." I swung my arm down and knocked him upside his temple with the handgun's grip. He slumped without making another sound. "We'll have our conversation later." I tucked my new luxury compact Kahr PM9 away and patted the leather holster. "It's nice to have more than one use for a weapon."
I used the 9mm mostly during my day job as a paranorm PI, but in this case maybe I'd been a little overzealous. I tended to be a lot tougher and rougher as a Tracker. Being a law enforcer brought out the hard side of me.
From my weapons belt I snagged a pair of elemental-magically-treated handcuffs and jerked the Sprite's arms so that I could cuff his wrists. He groaned a little but he didn't wake up.
Once Sprites started ganging up and creating chaos in New York City, all Night Trackers began carrying extra cuffs. The cuffs were the only thing that could keep Sprites from using their glamour skills before the Paranormal Task Force—PTF—put them behind elemental-magically treated cells.
Trackers enforce paranorm laws, and there were currently twenty-two of us in New York City including rovers. Twenty-three counting my human partner, Olivia.
Normally my territory was the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Thanks to all the crazy things that had been going on with Sprites, some of us had been assigned to be on special teams and had to go where the trouble was. Unfortunately we hadn't made it before the statue had gotten a makeover.
Pink lipstick and toenail polish. Crazy.
Lights winked and stared from the city's skyline in a colorful sparkle that I enjoyed, partly because of the contrast from the world I grew up in. Near the Ellis Island Ferry, the PTF agents waited on shore. When we got the Sprites across the water, the PTF would haul the beings to the elemental-magic-treated cells in the Paranorm Center.
I sensed Joshua's presence around a drape of the statue's robe. He strode into sight, dragging an unconscious and cuffed Sprite by the scruff of his neck. With a disgusted look on his harsh features, the Shadow Shifter dropped the Sprite beside me and my prisoner.
As a Shadow Shifter, Joshua could become a shadow, virtually invisible when he drifted from one shadow to the next, whether on the ground or in and around buildings. When he was in his male form, he was so sexy, with a build and accent that any female couldn't help appreciating.
Joshua glanced at the Sprite I was still straddling. The being's face was covered in blood from his broken nose and scrapes. "Looks like you've had a bit of fun with that one." Joshua's Australian accent was thick as he spoke.
"A little more 'fun' than I'd intended." I looked at the glittering Manhattan skyline again, picturing some of the Sprites' latest "pranks."
Joshua kicked the unconscious Sprite at his feet. The Shadow Shifter's flail hung from his belt, the iron so black that I could barely make it out in the near darkness. I wondered if he'd used the spiked ball to handle his Sprite.
My senses told me that now one of my closest friends was near. In moments Nadia shoved a cuffed and gagged Sprite around the statue's massive foot. The being cried out behind his gag as he fell next to the other Sprites and banged his head on the hard surface beneath our feet.
"Oh, shut up," she said with obvious impatience. "Sprites are so aggravating. We're low on gags after all of this."
Joshua watched with amusement as Nadia made a point of ignoring him. She hated alpha males, especially those who made it clear they thought of her as a sex object. Joshua probably didn't know how lucky he was that she hadn't sung him to his death already.
"What in the name of the Underworld is going on, Nyx?" A gorgeous Siren from the Bermuda Triangle, Nadia shoved a thick length of her red hair over her shoulder. "Sprites never work in teams. They all have a mind of their own."
"Almost as bad as they hate leadership and authority." I pushed myself to my feet and stepped away from the Sprite I'd taken down. "But something's behind all of this chaos."
"No lie," Joshua said.
I twisted my lips as I thought of yesterday's events. "You have to admit that they were pretty creative at the mayor's office."
Joshua laughed, a deep, sexy laugh, while Nadia shook her head. If I wasn't in love with Adam, Joshua was the kind of male a girl could have a crush on.
With a grin I pictured what had become a hothouse of flowers. "Every electronic device in the mayor's office suddenly blossoming into bouquets the moment they were turned on—that was worth the price of admission."
It was hard not to laugh as I thought about the Soothsayers having to freeze the scene so that the PTF could clean up the mess while Olivia, my partner, and I searched for clues.
Olivia worked with me during the day as a paranorm PI even though she was human. At night she was an honorary Tracker when we needed her. There wasn't another soul on this earth Otherworld that I would rather have worked with.
Joshua smirked as I added, "The Paranorm Council had to pay to have their flunkies rush out and buy all new office equipment for the mayor and his staff."
Nadia gave an exasperated huff. She was taking things a little more seriously than me. "How about the Museum of Natural History's dinosaur skeletons suddenly becoming animated, tearing out the doors of the museum, and chasing down taxis."
To be honest, that had been kind of amusing, too, although it had been a real pain to get under control. It had taken every Tracker we had and all of our individual magical abilities to take care of the dinosaur skeletons and get them back where they belonged. Not to mention six Soothsayers to freeze all of the norms—and erase their memories—so that the whole mess didn't end up on the evening news.
"My favorite by far was the Empire State Building's lobby entirely stuffed with hot dogs when the monument opened Wednesday morning." I got a grin out of Nadia when I continued in a mock-serious voice, "At least they had the decency to get Nathan's hot dogs. When Olivia and I got there we were pretty hungry. A couple of Nathan's with the works hit the spot."
Nadia shook her head. "This is all so absurd."
Joshua folded his arms across his muscular chest and shook his head. "How can you work with a human for a partner?"
I ignored him. What did I care what any of the Trackers thought about Olivia? She was the most kickass human female I knew.
"Chaos." Nadia put her hands on her hips. "The Sprites have caused nothing but chaos."
I tilted my head and saw Liberty's pink lips, then studied the illuminated neon pink torch.
"Yes." I sobered. Lady Liberty was a symbol of freedom, including my own freedom from the Drow realm. "Now they've gone too far."
I looked at Nadia. "What's really frustrating is that we're out chasing these guys while Vampire attacks are on the rise."
She frowned. "Not by much, but enough to be concerned."
Joshua nodded. "You're right on that one."
Vampires were far worse than Sprites. Even though they had been forced into passivity for over a century, since the Paranorm Rebellion, they always seem to have an undercurrent of evil to them. Sprites on the other hand thrive on creating mischief and chaos.
When Lulu, a Soothsayer, had the Statue of Liberty scene frozen, and the Paranorm Task Force had taken the Sprites to the detention center, Nadia and I started to head toward the Pit.
"How's your Detective?" Nadia asked me with a grin.
I smiled in return, a feeling of happiness warming my body as I thought of Adam. "As sexy as ever," I said, and Nadia laughed—probably at the goofy girlie look that was undoubtedly on my face.
"So what makes you so hot for this human, anyway?" Nadia asked.
I sighed, a happy sigh. "Adam is genuine, caring, and he understands me, accepts me." I looked at Nadia. "He gets me."
Nadia gave me a teasing look. "I'll bet he 'gets' you."
My cheeks felt pleasantly warm. "Well, he's also sensitive, while at the same time a tough man. I love that combination."
Something shadowy caught my eye near one of the darkened tourist charter boats and my smile faded. As soon as I saw it, the shadow disappeared.
I have fantastic night vision and the fact that I hadn't been able to make out what the shadow was made me frown. It wasn't a Shadow Shifter because it stood upright. Yet I sensed it had to have been some kind of being.
"Nadia." I lowered my voice and my friend looked at me. "Let's go that way." I indicated the place where I'd seen the shadowy figure. "I don't know what, but I saw something over there."
She rested her hand on the hilt of one of her serpent swords. "Any idea?" she whispered as we slipped out of the lighted area and into the darkness.
"No." I frowned again as we eased toward the location. "But I've sensed some kind of being nearby every time we've gathered up troublemaking Sprites." We moved closer and I kept my voice so low that I couldn't be heard by anyone but Nadia. "This is the first time I've actually seen something. I just don't know what it is."
I kept my own hand close to one of my daggers as we crept forward.
We reached the area where I'd seen the shadow. Like I had expected, nothing was there.
But the slightest hint of a familiar smell was. "Old dirt and musty leaves." I straightened and searched the darkness with my gaze. "A Vampire, and recently."
The fact I hadn't been able to tell that from where I'd been standing set me on edge.
"No sign of blood, not even the scent of it," Nadia said.
I ran my finger along my collar. "But why would a Vampire watch us round up Sprites?"
Nadia studied the area around us. "Probably in the neighborhood looking for a bite."
"Yes. Maybe," I said.
Something didn't feel right. Didn't feel right at all.

Cocaine Abuse (cont.)
Cocaine Abuse Symptoms
The effects of cocaine can be divided into what goes on in the central nervous system, in the brain, and in the rest of the body. The effects of the drug vary greatly, depending on the route of administration, amount, purity, and effects of the added ingredients. The effect also varies with the user's emotional state while taking the drug. This is based on the user's attitude toward the drug, the physical setting in which the drug is being used, his or her physical condition, and whether or not the person is a regular user. Because cocaine affects every organ system, from the brain to the skin, the following discussion will cover signs (what doctors find by physical examination) and symptoms (what you feel) for major organ systems.

6 reviews | 4.2 out of 5
I have used this mower to clear a piece of land that was 250 X 250 feet, it was filled with brush 4 to 5 feet tall, I know that this mower wasn't designed to do this, but it did it without any trouble at all...
This product was on sale at our local Super Walmart which has an incredible low price. I have been looking for a smaller riding mower for our 0.33 ac yard... This mower handles well. There are a lot of positive things such as easy handling and riding. The only thing that is negative would be the noise level.
i love this mower it helps me get my job done quicker and i don't have to jump my battery like with my yard machiens mower i think this is a very effective product and i recommend it to any one thanks yard man great product.
I have owned this product for approximately 3 months. I cut 1.5 acres bi-weekly. So far so good. It starts up everytime the 1st time. Good on fuel and a bargain comapred to other riding mowers on the market. Maybe it doesn't have all the gadgets that are unnecessary like the other over priced, rebadged, Briggs units you'll find at the other stores, but it will sure get the job done right!!!!!
Note: I like this product so much, that I also bought a Briggs Brute 2500/190cc pressure washer from Walmart. It out performed the Troybuilt (HONDA ENGINE) I bought at Lowes, which I had to return because it failed.
As being a First time tractor rider it has exceeded my expectations in a riding mower.

I've setup a small photoblog using WP and I want the frontpage to display ONLY the most recent post in a specific category. I'm close to acheiving what I want, but I'm having some troubles.
This is the code I have in my index.php:
if (empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$cat = "1";
this only works as intended if I set Options>>Reading>>Show Most Recen 1 posts paged. But when I set it to 'posts paged' it also affects another page on my site...specifically this one. There are actually 13 posts in cat=1, but with posts paged it only displays 1.
I hope my dilemma is clear enough that someone may have some insight. I tried searching, but didn't really see anything relevant.

Sony Handing Out Lifetime PSN Bans to PlayStation 3 Hackers
By Matthew Bennett, Associate Editor
Posted on November 14, 2012 AT 03:05am
Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on email Share on print More Sharing Services
Sony has announced that it will be issuing lifetime PlayStation Network bans to anyone found guilty of hacking following a recent PlayStation 3 security exploit release.
A new piece of PlayStation 3 hacking software was recently released to the public and Sony has warned that anyone discovered to be using it will face a permanent ban from the PlayStation Network. A statement released by Sony reads:
Unauthorized software for the PlayStation3 system was recently released by hackers. Use of such software violates the terms of the "System Software License Agreement for the PlayStation 3 System" and the "Terms of Services and User Agreement" for the PlayStationNetwork/Sony Entertainment Network and its Community Code of Conduct provisions.
Violation of the System Software License Agreement for the PlayStation3 system invalidates the consumer's right to access that system. Consumers running unauthorized or pirated software may have their access to the PlayStationNetwork and access to Sony Entertainment Network services through PlayStation3 system terminated permanently.
To avoid permanent termination, consumers must immediately cease using and delete all unauthorized or pirated software from their PlayStation3 systems.
In order to help provide a safe, fair, online environment, consumers who we believe violate "Terms of Services and User Agreement" for the PlayStationNetwork/Sony Entertainment Network or the applicable laws or regulations of their country or region risk having access to the PlayStationNetwork and access to Sony Entertainment Network services terminated permanently.

Very basic problem, probably requires a complex solution...
Anways, what I want to do is have the comment content start on the same line as the comment author/whatever. But sadly, if I strip Auto Paragraph tags out of the comments content (so it sits on the same line) as other content, it automatically removes all line breaks. Meaning people can't type paragraphs, which I forsee as problematic in the future.
Is there anyways to keep the P tags (or even enclose comment content in a different tag) from starting on a new line while keeping line breaks intact?

Spent five days here in the early part of the week...which really matters. The first few days there it was about a 1/3 full the last day it was 3/4 or more full.
The resort is clean and well kept. The kids activity center was fun and the boat rental on property was very good. We stayed in a condo and it was just fine..although the pillows were like bricks.
I listed service as poor for a few reasons. First the lobby/piano bar was not open either night we went..tough to watch the game and get a drink with no employees. Second getting pool towels is a chore..after asking three different employees another guest went to another property pool and got some from that pool..no employee ever brought any. Third, and most discouraging was the pool bar was opened late the one day and incredibly late another (we were told it opened at 10am) The last day we stayed there were were about 30 people asking employees about the bar ever opening...every employee gave the same answer "I don't know why it isn't open" Finally one employee at the desk said it opens late because it isn't a very full resort today.
Not sure if we would go back simply based on that premise.

Conde Lumiares Drugstore
Architect Daniel Ferrer of Mobile M recently renovated the Alicante-based Conde Lumiares drugstore, taking an innovative, non-traditional approach to pharmacy design. Removing the suspended ceiling, the Ferrer raised the roof from it's former "suffocating" two meter height to around five meters. To prevent the large space feeling too open Mobile M installed 256 suspended cylinders, ranging from two to four meters in length. Ferrer also created a second level to the Spanish drugstore for use as laboratory, warehouse and employee training.

Latest Waste Information
Servicing of grease traps in Hinchinbrook
Due to changing regulations and recent advice from the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection grease trap waste can no longer be processed in Hinchinbrook. This has led to changes in the options available to residents for grease trap servicing. The current options available for grease trap pump outs are:
Cleanaway – contact phone 4774 7333 or via website: www.cleanaway.com.au
JJ Richards – contact phone 4774 5555 or via website: www.jjrichards.com.au
You will need to contact such operators to organise the service and to secure quotes for the provision of the service. Council will inform the Community in the event other service providers become available in the future or in the alternative you are encouraged to do your own research and obtain quotes from all service providers.
There are no changes to the disposal of septic tank waste so your usual service provider or plumber may still provide this service.

Asus is ahead of its time. This cooling system is applied to older graphics cards and it's still efficient today. Way to go Asus!

My motivation is much smaller then it used to be thanks to the Git mirror which takes care of most day-to-day hacking issues, even though it slightly increases the commit overhead. For me the primary gains of Git (and other good VCSs) are not just offline (and fast) diffs, but local branches and ease of merging for those local branches and keeping them up-to-date. This is a huge boon. The bit that I suspect has gains we don't see right now is publishing WIP branches on personal repos, so that other people can contribute to in-progress work. > I also want to avoid switching VCS very often.

I agree with the sentiment of "let's not keep switching", which is why I think it is good sense to make a trial run as long as the cost of the trial is "small enough". Even more to the point, if there is call for it, I am personally prepared to give, say, Mercurial a similar spin. > First, I'd like to see a fairly solid consensus that git is a suitable > target for jumping.

I hope a trial would either prove the popularity or unpopularity fairly quickly, though of course any such infrastructure change can have hidden issues that don't emerge till sometime in the future. > Second, how do we hand off the high-bandwidth services to SourceForge > (or whoever)?

For binary and source tarball downloads I think SourceForge remains one of the few realistic alternatives, but for Git operations I suspect (without actual evidence) that it would not be a great hardship for developers to maintain public repositories: only cloning is expensive. Assume 5 commits per day. Make that 10K bytes per commit. Let's say we have 5000 Git trackers, who each pull from all the developers every day. In the worst case a single developer's repository would need to serve the data for all the 5 commits 5000 times -- but more likely this load is spread across developers. Since the data is compressed I would estimate a worst-case of 50Mb per day (80% compression). Realistic numbers are likely to be less then 1/10th of this (in my estimate, again.) ...but more to the point, I think we might at least initially be still best off with a shared repository instead of doing the full distributed dance right away. SourceForge doesn't currently offer Git hosting, so we would have to either provide our own (I have an unused Xen virtual server with unlimited connectivity that we can use if we want), or go to eg. repo.or.cz. The ultimate reliability of the hosting solution (having extensive backups, etc) is considerably less important with Git, as each checked out copy is a full backup. >> * IF this experiment is a success, then gains are >> going to be significant. > > I'm not sure how significant the gains will be.

Depends on the individual definition of significant for sure, and the depth of Git one wishes to plumb during this trial. I strongly recommend giving the Andreas' Git mirror of SBCL a try to get a taste of things without needing an extensive global trial. Here's a simple sample workflow to ease things: 1. Install Git and Cogito, package names are usually called git-core and cogito. 2. cg clone git://sbcl.boinkor.net/sbcl sbcl.git You now have a full copy of the SBCL history in sbcl.git. The tree is ~45Mb. 3. cd sbcl.git 4. cg switch -c my-branch You now have a local branch called my-branch. These branches are cheap and easy to maintain. 5. Hack, hack, hack. cg status # what has changed since last commit cg diff # what exactly has changed since last commit cg diff -r master # how does the branch differ from the mainline cg reset # revert to last committed version cg commit # commit current version cg update # get latest changes to the active branch from the boinkor mirror cg switch master # switch to mainline cg switch my-branch # switch back to own branch git branch # show all branches, and identify the current one gitk # visual browser for the history The utility and the ease of being able to have as many branches as you want locally is not to be underestimated, and all the above operations are essentially instant. 6. Time to commit to CVS. (Juho has a script, but I prefer to do this by hand.) cg diff -r master > my-branch.patch cd ../sbcl.cvs cvs -z3 up -dPC patch -p1 <../sbcl.git/my-branch.patch cvs -z3 diff -u | less cvs -z3 commit In a pure Git world the last step would be replaced by eg. cg-push to the shared repository, cg-push to personal public repository, or by rsync && mv'ing the local tree to a web-visible location.
