The software utility Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. People who set up and maintain software environments use cron to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals. It typically automates system maintenance or administration—though its general-purpose nature makes it useful for things like downloading files from the Internet and downloading email at regular intervals.[1] The origin of the name cron is from the Greek word for time, χρόνος (chronos).[2] (Ken Thompson, author of cron, has confirmed this in a private communication with Brian Kernighan.)
cron is most suitable for scheduling repetitive tasks. Scheduling one-time tasks is often more easily accomplished using the associated at utility.
Cron is driven by a crontab (cron table) file, a configuration file that specifies shell commands to run periodically on a given schedule. The crontab files are stored where the lists of jobs and other instructions to the cron daemon are kept. Users can have their own individual crontab files and often there is a system-wide crontab file (usually in /etc
or a subdirectory of /etc
) that only system administrators can edit.
Each line of a crontab file represents a job, and looks like this:
┌───────────── minute (0 - 59) │ ┌───────────── hour (0 - 23) │ │ ┌───────────── day of month (1 - 31) │ │ │ ┌───────────── month (1 - 12) │ │ │ │ ┌───────────── day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday to Saturday; │ │ │ │ │ 7 is also Sunday) │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ * * * * * command to execute
The syntax of each line expects a cron expression made of five fields, followed by a shell command to execute.
While normally the job is executed when the time/date specification fields all match the current time and date, there is one exception: if both "day of month" (field 3) and "day of week" (field 5) are restricted (not "*"), then one or both must match the current day.[3]
For example, the following clears the Apache error log at one minute past midnight (00:01) every day, assuming that the default shell for the cron user is Bourne shell compliant:
1 0 * * * printf > /var/log/apache/error_log
This example runs a shell program called export_dump.sh at 23:45 (11:45 PM) every Saturday.
45 23 * * 6 /home/oracle/scripts/export_dump.sh
The configuration file for a user can be edited by calling crontab -e
regardless of where the actual implementation stores this file.
Some cron
implementations, such as the popular 4th BSD edition written by Paul Vixie and included in many Linux distributions, add a sixth field: an account username that runs the specified job (subject to user existence and permissions). This is allowed only in the system crontabs—not in others, which are each assigned to a single user to configure. The sixth field is alternatively sometimes used for year instead of an account username—the nncron daemon for Windows does this.
Nonstandard predefined scheduling definitions[edit]
Some cron implementations[4] support the following non-standard macros:
Entry | Description | Equivalent to |
@yearly (or @annually) |
Run once a year at midnight of 1 January | 0 0 1 1 * |
@monthly |
Run once a month at midnight of the first day of the month | 0 0 1 * * |
@weekly |
Run once a week at midnight on Sunday morning | 0 0 * * 0 |
@daily |
Run once a day at midnight | 0 0 * * * |
@hourly |
Run once an hour at the beginning of the hour | 0 * * * * |
@reboot |
Run at startup | N/A |
configures a job to run once when the daemon is started. Since cron is typically never restarted, this typically corresponds to the machine being booted. This behavior is enforced in some variations of cron, such as that provided in Debian,[5] so that simply restarting the daemon does not re-run @reboot
can be useful if there is a need to start up a server or daemon under a particular user, and the user does not have access to configure init to start the program.
cron permissions[edit]
These two files play an important role:
- /etc/cron.allow - If this file exists, it must contain your username for you to use cron jobs.
- /etc/cron.deny - If the cron.allow file does not exist but the /etc/cron.deny file does exist then, to use cron jobs, you must not be listed in the /etc/cron.deny file.
Note that if neither of these files exist then, depending on site-dependent configuration parameters, either only the super user can use cron jobs, or all users can use cron jobs.
Timezone handling[edit]
Most cron implementations simply interpret crontab entries in the system time zone setting that the cron daemon runs under. This can be a source of dispute if a large multi-user machine has users in several time zones, especially if the system default timezone includes the potentially confusing DST. Thus, a cron implementation may as a special-case any "CRON_TZ=<timezone>" environment variable setting lines in user crontabs, interpreting subsequent crontab entries relative to that timezone.[6]
Early versions[edit]
The cron in Version 7 Unix was a system service (later called a daemon) invoked from /etc/inittab
when the operating system entered multi-user mode. Its algorithm was straightforward:
- Read
- Determine if any commands must run at the current date and time, and if so, run them as the superuser, root.
- Sleep for one minute
- Repeat from step 1.
This version of cron was basic and robust but it also consumed resources whether it found any work to do or not. In an experiment at Purdue University in the late 1970s to extend cron's service to all 100 users on a time-shared VAX, it was found to place too much load on the system.
Multi-user capability[edit]
The next version of cron, with the release of Unix System V, was created to extend the capabilities of cron to all users of a Unix system, not just the superuser. Though this may seem trivial today with most Unix and Unix-like systems having powerful processors and small numbers of users, at the time it required a new approach on a one MIPS system having roughly 100 user accounts.
In the August, 1977 issue of the Communications of the ACM, W. R. Franta and Kurt Maly published an article entitled "An efficient data structure for the simulation event set" describing an event queue data structure for discrete event-driven simulation systems that demonstrated "performance superior to that of commonly used simple linked list algorithms," good behavior given non-uniform time distributions, and worst case complexity , "n" being the number of events in the queue.
A graduate student, Robert Brown, reviewing this article, recognized the parallel between cron and discrete event simulators, and created an implementation of the Franta–Maly event list manager (ELM) for experimentation. Discrete event simulators run in virtual time, peeling events off the event queue as quickly as possible and advancing their notion of "now" to the scheduled time of the next event. Running the event simulator in "real time" instead of virtual time created a version of cron that spent most of its time sleeping, waiting for the scheduled time to execute the task at the head of the event list.
The following school year brought new students into the graduate program, including Keith Williamson, who joined the systems staff in the Computer Science department. As a "warm up task" Brown asked him to flesh out the prototype cron into a production service, and this multi-user cron went into use at Purdue in late 1979. This version of cron wholly replaced the /etc/cron
that was in use on the computer science department's VAX 11/780 running 32/V.
The algorithm used by this cron is as follows:
- On start-up, look for a file named
in the home directories of all account holders. - For each crontab file found, determine the next time in the future that each command must run.
- Place those commands on the Franta–Maly event list with their corresponding time and their "five field" time specifier.
- Enter main loop:
- Examine the task entry at the head of the queue, compute how far in the future it must run.
- Sleep for that period of time.
- On awakening and after verifying the correct time, execute the task at the head of the queue (in background) with the privileges of the user who created it.
- Determine the next time in the future to run this command and place it back on the event list at that time value.
Additionally, the daemon responds to SIGHUP signals to rescan modified crontab files and schedules special "wake up events" on the hour and half-hour to look for modified crontab files. Much detail is omitted here concerning the inaccuracies of computer time-of-day tracking, Unix alarm scheduling, explicit time-of-day changes, and process management, all of which account for the majority of the lines of code in this cron. This cron also captured the output of stdout and stderr and e-mailed any output to the crontab owner.
The resources consumed by this cron scale only with the amount of work it is given and do not inherently increase over time with the exception of periodically checking for changes.
Williamson completed his studies and departed the University with a Masters of Science in Computer Science and joined AT&T Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey, and took this cron with him. At Bell Labs, he and others incorporated the Unix at
command into cron, moved the crontab files out of users' home directories (which were not host-specific) and into a common host-specific spool directory, and of necessity added the crontab
command to allow users to copy their crontabs to that spool directory.
This version of cron later appeared largely unchanged in Unix System V and in BSD and their derivatives, Solaris from Sun Microsystems, IRIX from Silicon Graphics, HP-UX from Hewlett-Packard, and AIX from IBM. Technically, the original license for these implementations should be with the Purdue Research Foundation who funded the work,[citation needed] but this took place at a time when little concern was given to such matters.
Modern versions[edit]
With the advent of the GNU Project and Linux, new crons appeared. The most prevalent of these is the Vixie cron, originally coded by Paul Vixie in 1987. Version 3 of Vixie cron was released in late 1993. Version 4.1 was renamed to ISC Cron and was released in January 2004. Version 3, with some minor bugfixes, is used in most distributions of Linux and BSDs.
In 2007, Red Hat forked vixie-cron 4.1 to the cronie project and included anacron 2.3 in 2009.
Other popular implementations include anacron, dcron, and fcron. However, anacron is not an independent cron program. Another cron job must call it. dcron was made by DragonFly BSD founder Matt Dillon, and its maintainership was taken over by Jim Pryor in 2010.[7]
A webcron solution schedules ring tasks to run on a regular basis wherever cron implementations are not available in a web hosting environment.
CRON expression[edit]
A CRON expression is a string comprising five or six fields separated by white space[8] that represents a set of times, normally as a schedule to execute some routine.
Comments begin with a comment mark #, and must be on a line by themselves.
Field | Required | Allowed values | Allowed special characters | Remarks |
Minutes | Yes | 0-59 | * , - |
- |
Hours | Yes | 0-23 | * , - |
- |
Day of month | Yes | 1-31 | * , - ? L W |
- |
Month | Yes | 1-12 or JAN-DEC | * , - |
- |
Day of week | Yes | 0-6 or SUN-SAT | * , - ? L # |
- |
Year | No | 1970–2099 | * , - |
This field is not supported in standard/default implementations. |
In some uses of the CRON format there is also a seconds field at the beginning of the pattern. In that case, the CRON expression is a string comprising 6 or 7 fields.[9]
- Comma (
) - Commas are used to separate items of a list. For example, using "MON,WED,FRI" in the 5th field (day of week) means Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
- Hyphen (
) - Hyphens define ranges. For example, 2000-2010 indicates every year between 2000 and 2010, inclusive.
- Percent (
) - Percent-signs (%) in the command, unless escaped with backslash (\), are changed into newline characters, and all data after the first % are sent to the command as standard input.[10]
Non-Standard Characters[edit]
The following are non-standard characters and exist only in some cron implementations, such as Quartz java scheduler.
- 'L' stands for "last". When used in the day-of-week field, it allows you to specify constructs such as "the last Friday" ("5L") of a given month. In the day-of-month field, it specifies the last day of the month.
- The 'W' character is allowed for the day-of-month field. This character is used to specify the weekday (Monday-Friday) nearest the given day. As an example, if you were to specify "15W" as the value for the day-of-month field, the meaning is: "the nearest weekday to the 15th of the month." So, if the 15th is a Saturday, the trigger fires on Friday the 14th. If the 15th is a Sunday, the trigger fires on Monday the 16th. If the 15th is a Tuesday, then it fires on Tuesday the 15th. However, if you specify "1W" as the value for day-of-month, and the 1st is a Saturday, the trigger fires on Monday the 3rd, as it does not 'jump' over the boundary of a month's days. The 'W' character can be specified only when the day-of-month is a single day, not a range or list of days.
- Hash ( # )
- '#' is allowed for the day-of-week field, and must be followed by a number between one and five. It allows you to specify constructs such as "the second Friday" of a given month.[11] For example, entering "5#3" in the day-of-week field corresponds to the third Friday of every month.
- Question mark ( ? )
- In some implementations, used instead of '*' for leaving either day-of-month or day-of-week blank. Other cron implementations substitute "?" with the start-up time of the cron daemon, so that ? ? * * * * would be updated to 25 8 * * * * if cron started-up on 8:25am, and would run at this time every day until restarted again.[12]
- Slash (
) - In vixie-cron, slashes can be combined with ranges to specify step values.[4] For example, */5 in the minutes field indicates every 5 minutes (see note). It is shorthand for the more verbose POSIX form 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,00. POSIX does not define a use for slashes; its rationale (commenting on a BSD extension) notes that the definition is based on System V format but does not exclude the possibility of extensions.[3]
- 'H' is used in Jenkins_(software) a continuous integration system to indicate that a "hashed" value is substituted. Thus instead of '20 * * * *' which means at 20 minutes after the hour every hour, 'H * * * *' indicates that the task is performed every hour at an unspecified but invariant time. This allows spreading out tasks over time.[13]
Note that frequencies in general cannot be expressed; only step values which evenly divide their range express accurate frequencies (for minutes and seconds, that's /2, /3, /4, /5, /6, /10, /12, /15, /20 and /30 because 60 is evenly divisible by those numbers; for hours, that's /2, /3, /4, /6, /8 and /12); all other possible "steps" and all other fields yield inconsistent "short" periods at the end of the time-unit before it "resets" to the next minute, second, or day; for example, entering */5 for the day field sometimes executes after 1, 2, or 3 days, depending on the month and leap year; this is because cron is stateless (it does not remember the time of the last execution nor count the difference between it and now, required for accurate frequency counting—instead, cron is a mere pattern-matcher).

My wife and I made our way from Paris on the TVG. It was quite an experience as I had never been down the French Riveria.
When we arrived to our hotel we were greeted like family. This was very exciting to us as we had unpleasant experiences in Paris. The caretaker brought us to our room and shared information about the local area.
The room was a bit outdated, however very common in Europe. The beds could have been better, but the stellar service made up for it. The location is key as the coastline is steps away from the front door with many shops and restaurants.
We will be returning in the near future!

Hey Hounds!
I am hoping some of you can give me some recommendations on where to eat in PR. I will be going from San Juan to Luquillo/El Yunque to Esperanza/Vieques and hopefully to Guavate to "Pork Highway".
Id like to eat at at least one "fancy" restaurant since it will be our honeymoon but I am mostly concerned with going to places that have authentic cuisine. Anywhere that the locals frequent. Definitely looking to find some good fried food (cuchifrito or frituras) and of course some good seafood/roast pork

Why PBL's Fail, And What You Can Do About It
The Power and Pitfalls of PBL's
Alright, lets just get this part out of the way first: I realize there are drastic differences between project based learning and problem based learning experiences, but for the purpose of this post I am going to hybridize the two concepts because the content of what you are about to read is relevant for both project based, as well as problem based learning experiences.
PBL's are a great learning tool. They can increase engagement, help connect students to larger concepts, and enable teachers to show cross-cutting or cross-curricular concepts in a way that students can really buy-in to. I use PBL's all the time, but I see others stumble, fall, and curse the name when they are implemented improperly.
The problems with PBL's (haha…get it?)
Let me preface this by saying that there is no definitive "right" way to implement problem based learning, but I would strongly argue that there are plenty of wrong ways to do it. Often, when teachers start implementing PBL's they think that they are going to provide an awesome "artifact" or engaging "hook" and in 2 – 3 magical weeks the students will have produced these amazing products of learning. The problem is that they don't plan the day-to-day and just assume that the PBL will run itself.
It is in the facilitation of problem based learning that the majority of learning occurs. If you expect students to "connect all the dots" alone and without your guidance (and without well thought out planning) you're most likely in for a struggle. The end result will most likely be a chaotic few weeks and products that are less than stellar with little concrete evidence of learning or growth.
Things you can do to make your next PBL Great
When you design and implement problem based learning, think about how you will structure the learning experience. Think about providing daily check-ins and exit discussions to monitor progress. You can also break the project into tasks and organize it into a self-paced system to allow students the freedom to work but with the accountability of formative check-ins or assessments.

CIF-SS first round Yorba Linda, Placentia football predictions
Game of the week
Yorba Linda (10-0, 6-0) vs. Huntington Beach (5-5, 2-3)
Division: Southwest
When: 7 p.m. Friday
Site: Yorba Linda High
This Mustangs team rolled unblemished through the regular season and nabbed the program's first outright league title. Yorba Linda faced four Century League opponents in the preseason, winning by no less than 13 points. It then ran roughshod through a down Empire League, winning games by an average of 20 points. The bevy of lopsided outcomes speaks volumes to how efficient and consistent the Mustangs were from August to November. They'll need that consistency against a Huntington Beach team that held its own in the gantlet that is the Sunset League. Huntington Beach isn't your typical at-large team. Three of its five losses came at the hands of a playoff team. The two others were against JSerra, 49-31, and Trabuco Hills, 27-17. Quarterback Kai Ross presents a challenge that Yorba Linda's defense has yet to face this season. The senior is a dual threat in the purest sense. Throw in the Oilers' outstanding offensive line and skill players, and this offense has more potency than any of Yorba Linda's 10 opponents this season. Picking the Mustangs to fall in the first round would be a slight to the job Jeff Bailey and his coaching staff have done in building this program from scratch. That said, Huntington Beach has a legitimate shot at pulling the upset.
Prediction: Yorba Linda
Other games
Valencia (8-2, 5-1) vs. Fullerton (8-2, 3-2)
Division: Southwest
When: 7 p.m. Friday
Site: Valencia High
A win over inner-city rival Troy a week ago earned Fullerton the Freeway League's No. 3 playoff seed. If there is a team in the Southwest Division that could be your prototypical "bracket buster," the Indians are it. Quarterback Scott Lloyd's decision making has been second to none this season. He's tossed 28 touchdown passes to two interceptions, a ratio that's unheard of even for premier prep quarterbacks. The senior has a dynamic playmaker on the outside in James Hubbard and two talented running backs in Joshua Hill and Damani Roberts. Fullerton's offense is the best Valencia has faced since its Empire League meeting with Yorba Linda a month ago. The Tigers, who have struggled to score at times this season, will have to perform at their best to keep up. Junior quarterback Patrick Godoy left last week's game against Kennedy in the second quarter with an ankle injury. He had a noticeable limp on the sideline and never returned. Coach Mike Marrujo said in confidence after the game that Godoy would be ready for the postseason. Will he be 100 percent, though? The Indians played a tougher league schedule than Valencia, and that game experience should pay off in this first-round matchup.
Prediction: Fullerton
Week 10 picks: 2-2; Season: 28-6

How to Manage Employees
If you're in the early stages of your management career, there are some basic ideas that we want to pass on so perhaps you won't have to learn the hard way how to provide leadership to the people who work for you.
How to Manage Employees
As a manager, whether you know it or not, you're under constant scrutiny. Subordinates watch your every behavior and make decisions on department, team, or company values based on that behavior. Intense (but balanced) focus on the work and goals, seizing opportunities to learn more, and promoting subordinates' interaction with more senior executives or other leaders all are considered good by your subordinates. Not so good is sloppy behavior, even off the job, shifting blame, or criticizing others personally.
Subordinates also watch whom the manager hires, what skills are in demand, and what personalities are desired. They keep an eagle eye on how managers handle performance issues. Coddling those who don't measure up can destroy the morale of colleagues; likewise, dismissing or demoting a committed employee for reasons unrelated to performance can wreck a high-performing team and damage, if not destroy, the manager's credibility. Think about typical "boss behavior" as depicted in the cartoon strip Dilbert, which is certainly at odds with genuine people skills. "Bad" behavior takes the form of micromanaging, doing work that subordinates should do, and generally demoralizing those who should be learning by doing.
Some managers bring in consultants to do work that would be an opportunity for employees to learn. Whether that's because the employees are incapable of doing it, or the manager lacks trust in their abilities, a problem exists. "Good" behavior takes the form of providing a vision for the completion of a project, clearly delineating roles and responsibilities, and leading positive and productive team sessions around milestones and performance gaps.
The Golden Rule can't be invoked too often in good management. If you don't treat others as you would like to be treated, you're likely to have some problems in the workplace. You want people to listen to you, but too often we forget that others want us to listen to them, too. You want to be able to approach people without fear of ridicule or humiliation. Your employees want to be able to approach you without fear, too. Sincerely respecting the dignity of employees means sharing performance concerns privately, showing them how to succeed, and reinforcing good results with rewards. But you also have to balance that with "tough love" when they make mistakes, confronting poor performance squarely and candidly, and making sure they aren't frustrated by flawed processes or conflicting goals. Just as you reward high performers, you must be willing to engage in adult conversations with nonperformers. Human nature often leads us to avoid conflict, but doing so merely delays success for all involved.
Self-awareness is a critical skill for managing people. How rooted in reality is your own impression of your management abilities? Perhaps you see yourself as a manager with a blend of people skills: compassion, identification with subordinates' professional (and personal) struggles and successes, a sincere concern for their welfare, consistently firm and decisive actions that do not coddle underperformers, and certainly a better-than-average understanding of the total business. All of us have some of those qualities. The key is to emphasize the right behaviors in the right situations. Those who can range among management styles can adapt well to the harsh and dynamic environment of business. Getting the right results the wrong way is not a recipe for longevity in your job. Screaming and threatening behavior may buy you results in the short term, but eventually, your employees will find ways to overcome such bullying, undermining you, or they will simply vote with their feet and head for greener pastures.
An ideal manager is consistent, has a good command of functional skills (though others may have better), and demonstrates sincere interest in employees and their success. Just as important, the ideal manager gets the right results the right way — meeting goals regularly and innovating with positive change around process and output. Managing to the measurements — working to make sure the metrics reflect what management wants — is to flirt with disaster. The metrics are there to assess progress toward a given goal, and influencing them artificially without corresponding improvements to the underlying business takes away an important tool.
If we had to put our thoughts about managing people on a laminated card, here's what it would say:
- Listen to your employees.
- Be approachable.

This second naval adventure follows the life of Thomas Paine Kydd who sails into Portsmouth a hero after a ferocious battle against the French. Soon the sea beckons and Kydd sets off aboard his beloved Artemis for another adventure.
©2002 Julian Stockwin (P)2014 Audible, Inc.
"Excellent book"
Well written and narrated. . Definitely worth review. In keeping with other well-known literature of the period
"Excellent Adventure"
Yes - it is a captivating listen - full of excitement, adventure, and feeling. Christian Rodska delivers a sublime narration - brings all of the characters to life.
I liked the whole story. Difficult to pull out any part I liked better than others.
Christian Rodska skillfully brings personality via voice to each of the characters - the images appear in my mind of what the characters look like easily because of the excellent performance by Mr. Rodska.
Kydd is the main character and is of course "memorable", but the entire cast is so vividly portrayed that it's difficult to single Kydd out as the "most" memorable character.
This Kydd series is a fascinating look at life aboard English ships of war through the eyes of Thomas Kydd - the books are so well written and narrated that it's easy to feel Kydd's experiences - these are really proving to be great books and excellent listens.
"A 1790s sailors view of China"
I am a big fan of historical "age of Sail" naval genre particularly those set during the Napoleonic era. I enjoyed the first book in this series "Kydd" so I have ventured on to book two in the series. The time frame of the book is 1793.
Thomas Kydd and his friend Nicolas Renzi is now Able Seaman aboard the frigate HMS Artemis. After a battle against the French frigate Citoyenne which includes hard to had combat the Artemis barely wins the battle. Our heroes are promoted to Petty Officers. Kydd sister arrived in port to tell him their father is gravely ill. Kydd obtain permission for leave to visit his father before the Artemis sails for India and China.
Stockwin paints a full vivid picture of naval life with lots of attention to detail. It is obvious there is lots of knowledge and research behind this book, as well as knowledge about Royal Navy life of that era. Stockwin is a good writer and drives the story forward at a good clip. The characters are original and interesting. The book is entertaining and educational. I can recommend this book to anyone interested in nautical historical fiction. Christian Rodska narrated the book.
"A Fine Sea Tale"
This is a fine sea tale and a good read, but not up to snuff on sailing or details of ship work. The story is excellent however, and if sea stories are your bag, read it.
"Grand Adventure"
Awesome twists and turns but always believable and true to form of the characters and their personalities.
"Around the World - Triumph to Tragedy"
This book took them around the world with a purpose. Kydd's time on the Artemas is both interesting and challenging. Their time in the South Pacific is an interesting scenario.
Rodska does such a good job with all of the characters, it is very difficult to choose one. He does such an excellent job at making the characters different and realistic. Where the story may lack and lull from time to time, Rodska makes a difference.
"Great Intro to a new Sea Hero"
Yes. Well written. Precise, accurate sea terminology, clearly by someone who understands tall ships and their vocabulary
Accurate historical premises. Great development of characters and plots
Voices, as well as accents, are excellent, consistent and accurate.
Unfortunately the first book in the Series "Kydd" is not available yet on Audible but don't that put you off. Some might not enjoy the somewhat dense nautical/naval terminology and the amount of characters to get to grips with in the early chapters there's also plenty of action to move the excellent story along. The naration is excellent (he even sings out some of the sea shanties in the third book) and this turned out to be the perfect listen to get my sailing fix having enjoyed Sean Thomas Russell's Hayden books immensely.
For information (it's not specified on Audible) Here's the order of the books in the series as taken from Wikipedia.
Kydd (2001)
Artemis (2002)
Seaflower (2003)
Mutiny (2004)
Quarterdeck (2005)
Tenacious (2005)
Command (2006)
The Admiral's Daughter (2007)
Treachery (2008) (US title "The Privateer's Revenge")
Invasion (2009)
Victory (2010)
Conquest (6/2011)
"A Sparkiling Tale"
Continuing the adventures of Kydd and Renzi Artemis propels the unlikely duo on further adventures in love and war. The chemistry between the two develops further and more of their characters emerge as they adapt to rapidly changing circumstances. Christian Rodska is in his usual fine fettle and Stockwin's undoubted expertise about the period shines throughout.
Having read the other reviews I think I need say no more except that the first of the series "Kydd" is now available and it's worth reading these in order if you can.
"missing word beginnings "
between read sentences, the first portion of the next sentence words cannot be heard. most of the time you can make up the missing part but it is quite annoying.
"great "
it is a great book from a series that has depth and colour enjoyed this so much
"Why did it finish where it did?"
Like all good stories you want it to go on for ever. A story with everything, love, sex, relationships, terror, hero's, it goes on and on. Christian Rodska in cracking form bringing the story to even more life managing to bring every character to life I felt I was there aboard ship. The conclusion to the tale left one regretting that one had failed to get the next episode so to read on. A very enjoyable read, the whole series so far consistanty very good. Gripping reading. Thanks Colin X.
"A spanking good yarn"
Ranks near the top.
Characters are well drawn so no favourite.
Christian Rodskaer is a consummate actor. He's a veteran of radio drama - I have heard him many times - and can suit his voice to most characters - their ages, genders and accents.
Hurricanes - cape horn - storms - bravery and courage beyond measure
I loved this book from start to finish.

When you have that perennial bunch of overripe bananas, there are lots of things you can do to use them up. One of the best is baking a banana loaf. This recipe comes from The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook, a lovely cookbook from the folks at London's Hummingbird Bakery, full of recipes for American-style sweet things. The banana loaf is definitely one of the less decadent things in there!

With myself. I began blogging so I could keep a Journal of my life. Also to make friends. I have made many, but, I think they have given up on me posting regularly. Let's see if I can remedy that.
My last post was telling about the wonderful piece of property we had purchased on the Entiat River just north of Wenatchee Washington. I posted a picture of the platform we built down near the river. I spent one night on it freezing in our tent. It has to go down in history as one of my worst nights ever. I said I would not go back until I had a bed there. Soooo we took a bed over. In this picture, we are getting ready to leave so it is wrapped in a parachute, to protect the mattress from the elements. My patio table and chairs are on top to keep the parachute down. The wind blows down the canyon almost every day.On Memorial Day weekend my daughter Angie and her husband, grandson and daughter came over. We had two of our other grandchildren with us as their parents were doing a big river float with friends. In this picture are my Grandson Jonah, my Great Grandson Jayce and my Granddaughter Olivia. They are trying out Papa's tractor.
Even though we asked the owner to remove his garbage from the property, he did not. I call this picture the Redneck trampoline. My Granddaughter Abigail and Grandson Jonah are jumping on a roll of hog wire. We aren't too upset about him leaving it as we are being able to use much of what he left. He even left the tractor the kids were on. Stan has hot wired it and used it every time we go over.
According to Chelan county you can build a building without permit if it is under 280 sq feet. Our building is, but they have decided they don't approve. First they slapped a stop work on it saying it was larger than the allowed. Next we were too close to the road, we weren't. Next we were too close to the river, wrong again. The inspector said he would release us to continue. However some woman sitting at her desk in town still is not satisfied and she wants the inspector to go inside to see what we are doing.
I have moved my bed inside. They are not too happy about that either. I told my builder son in law to just tell them that I am close to 70 years old, truth, I have a very difficult time walking, truth, and I cannot sleep on the ground, truth. Any one would be sleeping inside while they work on the property. I am sure as you drive up the river and see all of the tiny buildings built along it there are people sleeping inside at night. They are just being contrary and we may have to hire an attorney.
Since they stopped us, we only have half of the roof on. This is my view as I lie in bed.
And this is the view out the windows.
We see deer across the river every morning and evening. These two have nice racks on them. They were getting ready to cross the river but changed their minds when they saw us watching.
There are also a couple of fawn across the river.
The sun had just gone down behind the mountain.
Pepper is thinking it might be time to wake up and go wallow in the dirt. She loves her freedom over there, but after one day she is ready to go home.
A neighbor told us how to drive around and up the mountain to see our property from above. Ours is the piece the upper side of the triangle created by the road and river. If you look closely, you can see the cabin that is in limbo in the upper corner of the property beside the trees. All of the property that you can see on the other side of the river is ours too. It does not go up the mountainside though. Sadly, there is a nearly 20,000 acre fire raging in the canyon right now. It is downriver from us and I feel pretty confident it won't make it all the way up to us. It may be wishful thinking on my part. So far no homes have been lost which is good news.

UPDATE: I think it was me who took myself off of google reader feed. Oops. Fiddling around with settings!
(for those nonplussed by today's title - Comment is free is The Guardian newspaper's commentary blog)
When I started this blog, I was adamant that I didn't care if I didn't attract a single reader; it was for me, only for me and I would do no publicity-whoring or 'plz add me 2 ur blogroll thnx' type comments. But as I slowly started to get readers, my posts started getting comments on - one every few days. And to be honest, these comments are probably one of my most favourite things about blogging. It's easy enough to write a piece every so often, but when you have the promise of interesting, funny and thought-provoking replies, that is the main motivator to continue writing on a daily basis.
Getting 7 or 8 comments on one post is pretty average, or even low for many bloggers but when I get that high a turn-out, it makes me extremely happy. I suppose I've always been the type of person who best responds to praise... not sure if that's a good thing, but it's true. I don't aim to have a worldwide super-famous big time blog; I actually think it would probably scare me into quitting and in all honesty, I would be delighted with only a handful of readers, who made regular and interesting comments. I appreciate every single one of them - at this point (before the post gets too whiny) I want to thank you for that!
So this time last week, when my post got not a single comment, I was a little down-hearted. For the rest of the week, I've been getting a slow drip of replies - one or two per post. On the one hand, I was delighted to hear from less regular commenters but on the other I felt greedy, wanting more and more and more.
However the decrease in replies didn't spurn me into writing faster, networking more furiously, creating an ad campaign. Conversely, it's had an in fact worrying effect; I've been writing less. I suppose it all comes down to motivation, as I said before. It appears that comment is more than free, to me anyway, it's also immensely valuable and indispensable.
So, here I am shamelessly reminding you dear readers - feel free to comment! No, let me amend that - please just comment!

I found you through your comment on my blog, didn't I?

time for a nicotine patch but really the answer is quit smoking.
E cigarette. They`re expensive, but they feel almost like the real thing, they contain nicotine, and you can "smoke" them indoors.
Are you serious? Well that really sucks...
chew gum
u can smoke just at the exit of the airport. what you can do is check in your luggage first, then have all the smokes you want before passing thru immigration :-)

on the plane, make sure you have things to munch and do to divert attention from thinking about those cigarettes.

i am sure you will survive and trust me, it is no fun smoking in smoking lounges/rooms in airport as they really make your clothes stink and smoking on planes give you headaches!
Hard for me to have compassion for smokers and asthma at the same time. You'll live...probably a few minutes longer in fact.
I have asthma. I used to live in Louisiana, and I DETESTED when people smoked around me. Inhaling just a little made it harder for me to breathe for a while. Thus, the lack of compassion. Glad I am in Cali now w/ all the laws. Maybe this will help you to see that you don't NEED them.
coffee and no smokes to a smoker.. c'mon
nicotine patches...
get the non allergenic ones but if you can't get some kind of nicotine substitute you're looking at a good time to quit. Once you get past the first 48 hours the worst is over..

Kids often are fascinated by such fictional detectives as Sherlock Holmes, Encyclopedia Brown, Nancy Drew, and Frank and Joe Hardy. Use these characters as inspiration for play time, costumes and theme parties. Creative kids can use their beloved characters as a launching point for detective craft ideas. Detective-themed crafts need not be expensive. Kids often can "sleuth" for items around the house or buy inexpensive supplies at a craft or home improvement store.
Other People Are Reading
Magnifying Glass
Detectives often use a magnifying glass to examine evidence. Crafty kids can build their own tools with common household supplies.
Boil water and pour it into a small, heat-safe bowl--this step requires adult supervision. Place the bowl in the freezer. Create a list of investigation options while the water freezes. Turn the bowl upside down and tap the ice to free this "magnifying glass."
Kids with sensitive hands can wear "investigator gloves" to hold the ice magnifying glass. Use the ice to examine newspapers, cracks in the ground and other potential mysteries.
Detectives usually carry a small notebook to write down their observations. Kids stepping into the detective role can make their own notebooks, adding a bit of flair to reflect their personalities and interests.
Give each child a thick piece of craft foam--this will serve as the notebook cover. Provide the kids with such items as stickers, pom-poms, foam shapes, ribbon and felt, plus white school glue. Have children decorate the notebook cover. Use stickers to spell out such phrases as "Private Eye" or "Special Detective."
Collect lined pages from discarded school notebooks or diaries. Help the children cut the notebook pages to just slightly smaller than the foam cover. Line up the pages. Use a hole punch on the cover and pages--three holes down the side should be sufficient. Thread a ribbon, cable tie or twisty tie from a bread sack through the holes.
Invisible Ink
Let your kids communicate with secret messages. Teach them how to make a batch of homemade invisible ink. Junior detectives can keep track of clues, sketch out composites and note information to follow up on a hot lead.
Prepare invisible ink with such common kitchen supplies as lemon juice; water mixed with salt; water mixed with sugar; or milk diluted with a small bit of water. Fill a small bottle--a clean soda or juice bottle works well--with one of these four invisible ink solutions. Give kids a toothpick, paintbrush or dull pencil to dip into the liquid, which becomes invisible after it dries on a piece of white paper.
To read the secret message, help kids hold the paper, writing-side down, over a flame on a gas range, campfire or pillar candle.

High school senior Patrick Farves said he was suspended for standing up during a school assembly and asking Nina Davuluri, the current Miss America to prom, according to the Associated Press.
Unfortunately for Farves, a student at Central York High school in York, Pa., Davuluri laughed off the invitation and Favres was suspended for three days.
School officials had heard about Farves' plan in advance and warned him not to do it.
With any luck he'll be back at school in time for prom, even if he is without a date.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 3
About the owner: My name is Carrie and I discovered this area 10 years ago. My job takes me all over the World and I can tell you I have never found a more magical or beautiful location as this. This is my 3rd condo here and my favorite of all of them. You can tailor your vacation to sit by the pool, walk on the beach, go horseback riding on the beach or keep yourself busy zip-lining, shopping, riding ATV's, visiting neighboring downs like Todos Santos or see the Whale Sharks in La Paz. I live in Clearwater, Florida full time and rent out my unit when I'm not in town. I've stayed at just about all of the best resorts over the years and I can tell you the condo is the way to go! You have the comfort of your own home and the beauty that far exceeds most of the resorts. You can always visit some of them for lunch and dinner while not spending $500 - $2000 a day for a much smaller room. I wanted to make the condo as warm and pretty and my decorator and I have decided to call it 'casual chic'. I love this location because you're in walking distance to so many things. There are bars and restaurants within walking distance and a resort next door if if you want to walk over and grab a drink and bring it back to the pool.
Why the Owner Chose El Rosarito, San José del Cabo, B.C.S., Mexico:
The location is the best in the area! With 24 hour security you'll feel secure and be in walking distance to amazing restaurants, shops and clubs. The unit has a huge terrace which you will end up spending most of your time there, watching the waves and listening to the amazing rolling surf. I know this sounds crazy but I bought American mattresses for the condo. When I'm visiting and listening to other guests staying in other units, the common complaint is they feel they are sleeping on plywood. The mattresses in the unit are top of the line!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
When you walk in the unit, you'll feel at home and fall in love. When you step out onto the patio, you'll declare you're never leaving. When you leave, you will want to schedule your next trip back and possibly throw yourself on the ground kicking and screaming like I did my first 10 visits declaring you're never leaving :-)

The JPK 10,80 is the "must have" boat for IRC racing. This is the only one available. Delivery for a new boat is now 2018. Sunrise is in tiptop order, with all the best kit and options. I know the boat inside out, and am in close contact with the owner, so call me if you are interested.

Paul: Federal income tax rate should be zero percent
At the Fox News Republican debate in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Monday night the five remaining candidates were queried about what they believed the highest possible federal income tax rate should be.
While the rest of the field offered substantive percentages, Texas Rep. Ron Paul set himself apart by saying that Americans' income tax rate should be zero percent.
"We should have the lowest tax that we've ever had, and up until 1913 it was zero percent," Paul said. "What's so bad about that?"
By contrast Texas Gov. Rick Perry said the highest rate should be 20 percent, Gingrich said the highest rate should be 15 percent, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said 25 percent and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum said it should be 28 percent.
Paul added, however, that the real culprit in the tax game is inflation.

Sticky-note confessions: What was your worst date?
Think you've been on bad dates? Angelenos confess their worst dating disasters. Read and learn.
"I had to end the date after he asked me to pee on him."
"I asked if I would see him again and he said he was an alien who was being called back to his home planet, so prolly not."
"He took me on a picnic in the park… and then brought out a camera and props and asked me to take his headshots for him."
"When my date took one piece of leftover sushi to go!"
"When it turned out the dating website I was using was specifically for swingers only."
"A cute guy I had a crush on picked me up and asked if I liked tacos. I said yes and we pulled up to Taco Bell. We ordered and he said, 'I haven't been paid yet.' So he had to pay with change. Specifically pennies and nickels. The cashier wasn't too happy."
"After some time apart, I drove to my girlfriend's house with her and out of excitement we jumped out of the car to hurry inside and left the car in drive. Next thing we knew the car drove over a few hedges and into the neighbors' yard."
"I went out with a yoga instructor once, but I wasn't really feeling it so I declined a second date. When I turned him down over the phone he indignantly asked if it was because he worked in the porn industry. Porn?! You said yoga, dude."
"At the end of a perfect date, after a year long crush, right when we would have kissed, she told me she was getting back together with her ex-girlfriend. She just wanted to see why I liked her."
"Two words: Foot fetish."
"One year for Valentine's Day my new high school boyfriend gave me a wrapped present. His name was Bob and I was really excited to be getting something other than flowers and chocolate for Valentine's Day. Inside the box was an XL shirt that said 'Bob's Girlfriend.' He then unzipped his jacket to show a matching shirt that said 'Bob.' He made me wear it to school the next day. We broke up shortly after. About a year later, I started dating a different guy who found the shirt and he decided to wear it to school. It was amazing."
"I'm on it right now!"
"It was late at night in Cleveland, Ohio. After dinner, on the drive home we got a flat tire. While trying to change it in the rain, we got robbed at gunpoint. That was our first date…"
"We both survived. And we are totally in love."
Very nice article, I enjoyed reading your post, very nice share, I want to twit this to my followers. Thanks!. Trust Payment Processing

Last week Jake and I went up to Broadway Billiards on 52nd Street where the $10,000 New York State Pocket Billiards Tournament is being held.
Twenty minutes early for the first of the two scheduled matches that night, we found the tournament room filling up already...a couple of Broadway types with shades and betting money, teenagers in blue jeans, a Yalee with a rep tie and a friendly fascist face, a bearded hippie, two young execs carrying attache cases, and a lot of old men pale enough to have spent their lives in pool rooms. Actor Peter Falk usually attends tournaments when he's in town, but we had to settle for Hugh O'Brian's stand-in. ("I think it's O'Brian." "Not tall enough." "Too tall." "I'm going to ask him." "Cool it, Herbie." "Never could stand that lady, she always used to watch it.")
Larry Johnson, a short, pudgy man with nasty red pimples on his bald head and fact, was practicing for the first match which would be with Johnny Ervolino.
"Look at Johnson's face," said Jake. "It looks like it's been machine-gunned."
Johnson was low-man in the tournament-standing at that point. Only 5'3" or 5'4", he is seriously handicapped by his height. Some shots are impossible unless the player can lean his hip on the table and extend himself toward the center of the table (permissible as long as he keeps one foot on the floor). The only alternative is using the bridge, a wooden implement on which the player rests his cue, gaining length for his thrust, but an alternative abhored by competition players because it cuts down on direct control over the cue.
At 6.50, Johnny Ervolino, a kid from Brooklyn, came in. Tall, slim, with a ducktail haircut, and wearing a black leather jacket, he looked like he had just had breakfast.
Ervolino, still wearing the hip-length jacket, took a few practice shots. Missing an easy one, he laughed and said, "Wait till I wake up." A few minutes later he came back wearing a black dinner jacket. (Several years ago someone got to the competition players and said, "Look, fellows, we need more class," so now they wear dinner jackets at tournaments. Which is nice because the black jackets contrast dramatically with the pool room pallors.)
Johnson made a bad break, the break being the most important part of the game because it determines the position of the 15 balls that have to be pocketed, and pocketed only five Ervolino ran 13, and scratched, followed by Johnson's 21. Ervolino then stepped up to the table, whistled an old Sinatra tune, and began his longest run in tournament play.
During a long run the tension of both the player and audience rises. The room is silent except for the official announcing the shots to be attempted, occasionally interrupted by the player correcting the call.
Thinking of "Nine-Ball" Mike, a friend of Jake's and mine, an inept but dedicated player, I said, "Jake, it's too bad we didn't bring 'Nine-Ball' along."
"Are you kidding?" said Jake. "He'd be screaming 'Not that shot,' or running up and grabbing the cue. They'd have to throw him out of the room."
Ervolino was making a break. Jake said, "This is the end. He's not going to make that break."
Ervolino didn't make that break successfully, and scratched on the first ball out. The run ended at 96. Johnson then ran 42 balls. Ervolino scratched after three. Johnson was unable to start a good run, and Ervolino pocketed the six balls necessary to take the match.
The next match was between Steve Mizerak and an older man named Farber. Mizerak is a tall, clumsy, overweight college kid, already being touted as a potential world champion. Farber played some nice pool, but Mizerak was The Man. Although his highest run in the match was only 46, he has genius and we all knew it. His approach, his feel, his hands, his positioning, his breaks were superlative.
As Jake and I were leaving the pool parlor we were discussing the phenomenon of Mizerak. Jake said, "This kid's going to kill pool as we know it. Healthy, tanned, college. Nothing like the little guttersnipes who never see the sun after they're 10 or 11 and go into the pool room for the first time, never to come out again."
Waiting for a cab, Jake pulled a box of lemon drops out of his pocket and popped one into his mouth.
An old Negro who had been sitting near us came over and said, "Excuse me, but are you The Kansas City Lemon Drop Kid?"
The Kansas City Lemon Drop Kid. The name evoked the whole great tradition of hustlers. Men who could beat many of the competition players but made more money hustling privately, or preferred the anonymity. Men who went from town to town showing up in shabby clothing at a pool room, getting into a game, fluffing a few easy shots, cajoling someone into playing for a little money, and then eventually cleaning out everybody in the place. Men who didn't want their names known or their pictures taken. Men who were afraid of being recognized when they went into a town because then no one would play them.
The grand tradition of Cornbread Fred and Tugboat Whaley, Meanie Beanie from Baltimore, New York Fats, Mexican Eddie, and Rotation Slim.
And apparently, one Kansas City Lemon Drop Kid.

Final: Ducks lose big lead but beat Chicago in overtime in Game 5
ANAHEIM - There was more drama and more overtime at Honda Center on Monday night, but this time it worked out in the Ducks' favor.
Chicago scored two goals in the final 1:50 of regulation to tie the game and send it to overtime, but Matt Beleskey scored 45 seconds into overtime to give the Ducks a 5-4 victory in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals.
Patrick Maroon scored an apparently huge goal with 5:15 left in the third period to give the Ducks a 4-2 lead, but Chicago's Jonathan Toews scored twice in a span of 1:12 to tie the game.
The Ducks had already lost two games in this series in overtime, but got some revenge Monday. In the first minute, Ryan Kesler's shot was stopped, but Beleskey pounced on the rebound and scored from close range.
No matter what happens in the rest of this series, it's almost impossible that anything could be more lopsided than Monday's first period, in which the Ducks scored three goals before Chicago's first shot on goal.
Cam Fowler scored at the 5:10 mark. Ryan Kesler scored 32 seconds later. Sami Vatanen scored at the 14:37 mark. Toews finally recorded Chicago's first shot on goal at 16:26.
Slow and ineffective in the first period, the Blackhawks came alive in the second. Teuvo Teravainen scored at the 1:11 mark, then Brent Seabrook scored on a one-timer with 25 seconds remaining.
Given that this series had already featured two multiple-overtime games, the stage was set for third-period craziness. Chicago had an early power play but didn't generate a shot on goal, and that seemed to calm the Ducks, who played with more calmness and stability for the rest of the period.
Maroon's goal with 5:15 left seemingly clinched the game for the Ducks before the wild finish to the third period.
Beyond the three first-period goals, the Ducks dominated and clearly were the stronger, sharper team early in the game. The Ducks got the Blackhawks running around early, and struck first, 5:10 into the game, when Cam Fowler's sharp wrist shot from the high slot found the net for the game's first goal.
Chicago's depth on defense has been a question throughout the series, and indeed, an awful clearing attempt by Kyle Cumiskey led directly to Kesler's deflection goal and the Ducks' 2-0 lead.
Then, with 5:23 left in the period, Ducks defenseman Sami Vatanen ripped a slap-shot goal. It was the first time since Game 1 that either team held a three-goal lead in the series.
It's fair to say the Blackhawks were fortunate only to trail by three goals after the first period. Their goalie, Corey Crawford, made a handful of great saves to prevent things from getting worse, which is why the Blackhawks stuck with Crawford at the start of the second period.
A somewhat inevitable bounce-back took place, and Chicago made it a 3-1 game, 1:11 into the second period, when Teravainen beat goalie Frederik Andersen with a long-range wrist shot.
- Miller: It almost came, but Ducks avoid a disaster with Game 5 win
- Harmonson: Ducks-Blackhawks turning into intense rivalry
- Blackhawks' play reaches both ends of the spectrum in Game 5
- Ducks goalie Frederik Andersen survives crazy game
