Tipping the SCALE
I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, and certainly I am not. Honest. But one of the problems with working on a show like Southern California Linux Expo and this year's SCALE 11X leaves me little time to do anything but the wood-chopping and water-carrying that goes with being the publicity chair for the show. Let me be clear: This is not a complaint, but rather an explanation about why you're not going to get a comprehensive report about the event.
Others are doing that for me, and it was as great as they say it is; possibly moreso.
The reason SCALE achieves an annual uptick in greatness — and SCALE 11X is no exception — lies squarely with the volunteers who make this work. I have it easy chairing publicity and I'm not referring to what I do so much as the stellar work the Publicity Team does — Hannah Anderson, Dennis Rex, Michelle Klein-Hass, Sam Lee, and Scott Ruecker (remotely — we'll see you next year, Scott!) all put in a herculean effort to get the word, and photos, out before and during the show. Words can't describe the effort of those who set up the rooms, those who set up and make sure the AV works, those who make sure the tsunami of humanity coming to register and attend have their badges and swag bags ready, and those who keep the digital infrastructure running to the best of its ability under trying conditions and uncooperative attendees or exhibitors — all these folks get my undying gratitude and they deserve everyone's deepest thanks. All you guys make it work.
Also, the show doesn't work without the speakers who provide deeply informative talks on a wide range of topics. One of the telling factors in the success of SCALE 11X is that standing room only was the course of the day for many of the presentations, including the last group of sessions at 4:30 on Sunday afternoon. It's a testament to the quality of the speakers and their topics, and
And . . . it doesn't work without the folks who attend — so a big thanks go out to each of the 2,304 attendees at this year's SCALE 11X. It would have been 2,305 if the pass for Elvis Presley, who had been comped for the show (the King of Rock and Roll should go to the event that goes to 11!), had been picked up, thankyouverymuch.
But a few things bear mentioning:
Tap, tap . . . is this thing on? I got to speak twice at SCALE, once to the Linux Beginners class at SCALE 11X, where I talked mostly about how not to be intimidated about joining a distro community ("just tell them if they're not nice to you, I'll come and make their lives miserable" . . . OK, just kidding). I also held a Birds of a Feather event for CrunchBang, which was attended by about 20 people and my short presentation was followed by a pretty lively discussion.
Pleased to meet you, hope you've guessed my name: I have carried on online conversations for years with people and have never met them in person, but occasionally shows like SCALE 11X allows us to meet face to face. I finally got to meet Patrick Stewart's BFF and Red Hat guy Thomas Cameron, which didn't go as smoothly as it could have. "Hi, Thomas," I said, shaking his hand. "How's it going?" he said. Cue awkward silence. "OK, so let me draw my beard on my face so I look like my Facebook photo . . . " Hilarity ensued. Apparently I don't look enough like my former Facebook photo, and thanks to Ruth Suehle for taking my photo with Raspberry Pi on my face — yes, the little motherboard — I now look more like, well, me on Facebook. Whether that's a good thing or not . . .
Conversely . . . : Because I have to keep the SCALE media humming, I don't get to spend nearly enough time with the people I do see somewhat frequently at shows like SCALE. Apologies to Clint Savage, Scott Williams, Scott Dowdle, Christer Edwards, Jeremy Sands, Trevor Sharpe, Deb Nicholson and many others for just saying "hi" and "bye" in the hallways during the course of the show. Of course, a -1 to Mother Nature for keeping Rikki Endsley home in Lawrence, Kan., thanks to a heaping helping of snow.
Thank you, Fedora: For years, I've always wanted a Fedora cap. Let me rephrase that: I've always wanted a Fedora Project cap, and finally this year the Fedora Project had them in the booth. They also had the Spherical Cow, a.k.a. Fedora 18, in the booth, and one of the perks about making a quick run to the show floor was picking it up. I gave it a quick run, live DVD style, and I think it was worth the wait. I'll install it and put it through its paces later.
In fact, maybe I'll just sign off and do that now. See you in Bellingham, Wash., for Linux Fest Northwest at the end of April.

Herding cats
It's February and I'm swamped. It can only mean one thing — this year's version of the Southern California Linux Expo, more commonly known to the rest of the world this year as SCALE 11X, is finally in the starting blocks and ready to run.
It's cat herding time: Yes, getting all the tech and non-tech media to pay attention and come to the event is best described as herding cats, but it's something I love doing. As the publicity chair for SCALE, I never have a dull moment from, say, Boxing Day in the previous December until the end of the show. With the help of Scott Ruecker, Hannah Anderson, Dennis Rex and the rest of the SCALE Publicity Team, we also get the word out to the wider Linux/FOSS audience to come to the show, or else miss the best Linux/FOSS show in North America.
I mention the glorius burden of my own personal SCALE workload because I'm always there but I can never see any of the presenations I'd like to see. Given the opportunity to see a presentation or several, I'd pick . . . all of them. But most immediately, there are several part of SCALE 11X that are not to be missed:
The Keynotes: Both Matthew Garrett and Kyle Rankin bring excellent topics — UEFI and 3-D printing, respectively — to the keynote talks on Saturday and Sunday mornings. This is the first time in awhile that I've thought, "Dang, I have to make both of these." There's a good chance I can make one, or maybe (knock on wood) both of them this year, and you should, too.
Most of Friday's sessions: OK, so cloning technology isn't up to splitting me into several people and all of them going to different sessions on Friday. But between the Chef Training, the Cloud sessions, the PostgreSQL track, the Mentoring track and the Puppet track, I'd be bouncing like a pinball between them for a better part of the day. To say nothing of the Linux Essentials Prep, which I have to take someday. After all this on Friday, there's . . .
UpSCALE: I did this once, and I'd do it again if my most excellent partner in digital crime (also known as my daughter Mimi) would join me in taking the stage again. The Friday night to-do is in the form of the Ignite Talks, where a speaker is at the mercy of a timer which is advancing his/her slides at a 20-second-per clip and they're always fun, mostly interesting and continually a topic of discussion throughout the course of the show.
And then there's a line up of speakers throughout the rest of the weekend for whom I'd walk a mile on my knees through broken glass to attend their presentations: Joe Brockmeier, Ruth Suehle, Deb Nicholson, Owen DeLong, Dru Lavigne, Christer Edwards, Jason Brooks, and Thomas Cameron top this list that goes on for quite some time. In addition, we have some first-timers to SCALE who deserve special mention, like retro gamer Guillermo Antonio Amaral Bastidas and Oregon State University Open Source Lab manager Lance Albertson. Heck, even a few current and former SCALE folks come out from behind the curtain and are giving presentations: Stuart Sheldon, Tom King and Jenn Greenaway take the stage as well.
You'll have to check the schedule here to find out when these folks are speaking. Meanwhile, when I'm able, I'll be at sessions I can make, but for the most part you can find me in the press room.
I'll be the one with the string and the catnip.
One more time: We turn it up to 11 this year — a reference many of the folks my age laugh uproariously to, but one which some of the younger speakers may not know. Watch this.
More to follow. Watch this space.

Going to 11
The beginning of the year is always a time when I am absolutely swamped. I kiss my loved ones goodbye and then I immerse myself in the tsunami known as preparation for the Southern California Linux Expo.
This year, SCALE is turning it up to 11 with SCALE 11X. In its 11th year, SCALE is the first-of-the-year Linux/FOSS expo in North America that usually (except for last year) is held in February during President's Day weekend. This year, it's Feb. 22-24 at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel.
An aside: Every year I say that the San Francisco Giants are going to win the World Series. They've made me correct two of the last three years, and no one is more surprised about that than I am. Conversely, I also say every year that the upcoming SCALE event will be the best ever, and my record here is always better than two out of three.
The difference here, though, is that I'm never surprised when it comes to SCALE that each year beats the previous one.
This year, we have good reason to expect great things at SCALE 11X. If nothing else that makes the show great, Matthew Garrett will be giving us his insights on breaking free of the UEFI chains in the Saturday keynote.
But we're getting ahead of the story. There are events, talks, sessions and activities for everyone at every level of experience. And then some. You'll just have to visit the schedule board here to take a look.
As the chair of the Publicity Team — that's chief cat-herder for the tech and mainstream press, to most of you — I get to write the publicity blurbs and announcements that go out on a regular basis; even more regular now that we're on the proverbial doorstep of SCALE 11X. In counting up the number of speakers — not including those all-day sessions which may have more than one — we have 91 speakers over the three-day weekend.
So we have nearly as many speakers as we have exhibitors. Permit me to pause to reflect on that for a moment.
Also since my duties at the expo tend to keep me in the press room for 95 percent of the show, you can be sure that I won't miss the Saturday keynote. The topic of Secure Boot and how to get around it is of vital importance and Matthew Garrett's keynote is one that is not to be missed. But other than that, and a lap or two around the floor to see if the exhibitor's publicity needs are taken care of, I'll be sequestered in the press room for a better part of the show.
We turn it up to 11 this year — a reference many of the folks my age laugh uproariously to, but one which some of the younger speakers may not know. Watch this.
More on SCALE 11X to come in the next several days.

Getting out the vote
Yes, I know LinuxCon has come and gone, and I think they've got the publicity thing covered, especially with the 20-year thing, the gala party, and with Linus being there and all. The buzz is still going, and that's good. But if you're going to a Linux show, make it the Ohio LinuxFest in September. Bradley Kuhn and Cathy Malmrose are keynoting — along with Jon "maddog" Hall — so you'll not want to miss that (especially Cathy — Go ZaReason!).
With the upcoming deadline for the Linux Journal Readers' Choice 2011 Awards upon us — it closes this Saturday — other bloggers have been been taking to beating the drum and holding the phone for their favorites.
Not to be outdone, of course, there are a few candidates on the LJ ballot that deserve special mention. If I were campaigning for them, I'd definitely cast votes for items in the following categories (note, however, the list of categories and software on the ballot is long, and they're not all here):
Best Linux Distribution: No question, hands down. Fedora. Judging which is the best distro is akin to picking the best ice cream flavor — each of us has our own favorites, and hopefully you'll vote for yours. Mine comes in blue, is based on Red Hat, has the best desktop background release after release (the Design Team at Fedora is the best in the FOSS realm, period), it's always rock solid, and even if I can't use the default GNOME 3 desktop, Fedora runs great under KDE or Xfce. Fedora is reaching a point now where the myth that it's "only for experience users" is falling by the wayside, and if a lack of confidence in your skills has kept you from using Fedora, you should give it a try.
Best Desktop Environment: Oh, look! A minefield! Let's skip through it! You all know how I feel about GNOME 3; the aspect that I can't use it due to older equipment moreso than anything else (if I could vote for GNOME 2.32, that would be great). KDE? I like KDE though — truth in advertising — I'm a post-KDE 4.x user and not familiar with the way things used to be (and not familiar with why there's such a hubbub about it). I don't know why Openbox and Fluxbox, both windows managers, are in this category, and why isn't there a separate WM category? How did I vote? I'm cast a vote this year for Xfce, because I'm using it on Fedora 15 and will be using it again on Fedora 16, and while it's reputation is a lightweight environment, I'm finding there's a significant degree of tweakability to it. Also, if you really like WMs, I'd vote for OpenBox.
Best Web Browser: Konqueror. Just kidding. While there are some advantages to Konqueror that do not involve Web browsing, for getting on the information superhighway I usually go with Firefox, though on the Windows box at the newspaper I use Chrome. It's a toss up between those two.
Best E-mail Client: Another minefield and another tough call. What I use most is Thunderbird, because everybody knows the 'Bird is the word, and it's always worked well for me. What has always worked well for me in the past, too, and something I've always thought was one of KDE's stars is Kmail, which deserves a vote if you're so inclined. Claws is something I'm looking to try and haven't yet, so maybe if it wows me, it can be a leading candidate for 2012.
Best IRC client: Simple — it's irssi. It's what the cool kids use, once they graduate past Xchat. Konversation gets high marks, too, and readily available on KDE. But I voted for irssi.
Best Office Suite: OK, here's where we get to make history. Vote for LibreOffice — it's OpenOffice as it should be. It would be outrageously cool if LibreOffice took home the prize in this category, for starters because it deserves it, and it would be a good nose-thumbing to Oracle as well.
Best Graphic Design Tool: All of them. I'm serious. If there's ever been a category where each of the candidates deserves to win, it's this one. GIMP finally gets a single window, I'm told, thank $DIETY, but I ended up voting for . . . Inkscape. I'm not the artist in the family; that title goes to my daughter Mimi, but having drawn a little, I do like Inkscape a lot.
Best Audio Tool: Audacity. If Carla Schroder uses it and writes a book about it, then I'm there.
Best Kid Friendly Application: Another easy one — Tux Paint. I should be ashamed to admit this, but I'm not: Ever since Mimi was younger and we used Tux Paint together when she was learning her way around a computer, I have always loved this program and I still fiddle with it from time to time when I'm not doing anything else. Also, I count Tux Paint as one of the main influences in cultivating the artistic talent Mimi has shown.
Best Game: As bad as I am at it, I still think Super Tux gets the nod here, as it's a very creative game. Truth be told, I've never played any of the games on the list, except for Tux Racer, and I know my good friend Ken Starks over at the HeliOS Project is a fan of World of Goo.
Best Database: Our first heart-versus-head conundrum. If MySQL were the best, I may not vote for it on principle, but fortunately other databases have knocked MySQL from its perch at the top. I've only used two other databases and have liked them both: PostgreSQL and MariaDB. I really want to see MariaDB do well, but PostgreSQL is clearly the best of the bunch.
Best Programming Language: Again, the ice cream comparison comes into play and in my limited programming experience, I vote for what I know best. That would be Python.
Best scripting language: bash — accept no substitutes (OK, ksh if you need to).
Best IDE: Emacs in the hands of someone who really knows what they're doing (and sadly, that's not me) is simply an amazing tool. But I'm voting for vim. I can get more done using it, and I'm never backed into a corner, as I am sometimes with Emacs. Sorry, RMS.
Best Package Management Application: If it sounds like it tastes good, you have to go with it: yum. Honorable mention goes to Synaptic.
Best Content Management System: I've used Mambo and Joomla! in the past, and those happen to be my CMS roots. However, having used Drupal over the last few months, I have to say that I've made the switch. Drupal gets my vote this year.
Best Linux Laptop Vendor/Best Linux Desktop Workstation Vendor/Best Linux Server Vendor: I'm lumping these three categories together because the vote is the same in each category — ZaReason. The Berkeley, Calif., outfit makes outstanding, dependable hardware that's Linux based (or if you'd prefer, no operating system) and the service is top notch. You'll have to write in ZaReason in the Best Linux Desktop Workstation Vendor category, but you can mark the ballot in the other two.
Best Linux Book: A real page-turner, especially if you're into audio — "The Book of Audacity," by Carla Schroder. Buy it now.
Again, there's a plethora of other categories that I haven't touched on. Polls are open until Saturday. Vote early.

Now Finski that was taken a little out of context. What I was saying is what is my most important priority? The drones are already there, let them hatch, There's nothing I can do about it now. Varroa is a part of modern beekeeping but who knows that better than you.brood cycle. I plan to rear enough queens to do this in all of my colonies. I welcome your advice.

Canadian flag flies high at Hampton Beach
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News | July 06. 2013 9:37PM
Four flags, including the Canadian flag, fly in front of the Sea Shell stage at Hampton Beach on Saturday. (Gretyl Macalaster/Union Leader Correspondent)
Four flagpoles at the new Seashell complex at Hampton Beach State Park prominently display the U.S. flag, the blue state flag, the black POW/MIA flag and the red-and-white flag of Canada.
Officials have not heard any objections. Peter Burdett is chairman of the State Veterans Advisory Committee, which includes representatives from veterans services organizations. He said he's never heard any complaints about New Hampshire flying the flag of a foreign nation at the beach.
Ask state officials why New Hampshire flies the Canadian flag at its most popular beach and the general consensus seems to be: We've always done it that way.
A few people at the beach June 29 shared their thoughts.
"I don't like it. This isn't Canada," said Korean War veteran Don Barrett of Merrimack. "Why not fly a Cuban flag?"
He said he has been to Canada a few times and has never seen an American flag flying.
Paul Viau was at the beach with his wife, Pauline.
"I don't have a problem with it. The Canadians come down and support us," Paul Viau said. "With the number of Canadians that are here it is a nice, friendly gesture on our part.''
Hundreds of thousands
Canadians are by far the largest group of international visitors to New Hampshire, Bryce said. More than 424,200 tourists from Canada visited the state in 2011, according to the state tourism office.
When state officials were evaluating plans for the redevelopment of Hampton Beach State Park, the question arose of whether all four flags would remain part of the display.
"Obviously, we welcome any international visitors to Hampton, but there are an awful lot of Canadian visitors to our state and specifically to Hampton Beach, and we felt that it was a way of being respectful to them, that we honor them," Bald said.
Bryce also noted there's a rich French-Canadian heritage in New Hampshire, especially in cities such as Manchester and Berlin.
"We have really close ties to Canada, so it's just a way of expressing our appreciation for our relationship," he said.
Amy Bassett, assistant director of the state Division of Travel and Tourism, has worked for the state for 20 years. She said the Canadian flag has flown at the beach as long as she can remember.
And these visitors appreciate having their flag flown here, Noel said. "They love to see that. We hear it all the time from the Canadian visitors."
"We want folks to feel welcome when they're in our parks - and we want them to understand the signs, too," he said.

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - The University of Richmond Spiders baseball team got back to its winning ways on Friday afternoon, defeating the Princeton Tigers, 9-7, at Pitt Field. With the win, the Spiders improve to 12-4 on the season, while the Tigers fall to 2-6 on the year overall.
Senior Bryan Conway had one of the best games of his Richmond career on Friday night, going 4-for-4 with two home runs, four RBIS, and four runs scored. Sophomore Mike Small and freshman Eric Flanagan each had two RBIs on the day for the Spiders, while redshirt junior Matt Zink also drive in a run.
On the mound, junior Jacob Mayers (4-1) earned his fourth victory of the season, tossing six innings and while allowing four earned runs. Mayers also struck out seven batters, pushing his total to 34 on the season. Out of the bullpen, junior Jolmi Minaya, redshirt junior Bret Williams, and senior Alex Maffett combined to toss three solid innings, allowing just one unearned run. Maffett recorded the last four outs to record his first save of the season.
The Tigers were the first team to jump on the scoreboard on Friday afternoon, scoring three runs in the top of the second inning. The Spiders answered right back, however, as Conway hit a RBI single and Flanagan recorded his first career triple, driving in a run. Small rounded out the scoring, plating Flanagan with a RBI groundout, tying the game at 3-3 after two innings.
Richmond was right back at it in the bottom of the fourth, pushing three more runs across to take control of the game. Leading off the frame, Conway blasted an opposite-field home run to right field, giving the Spiders the lead. After a Small RBI single and a RBI double from Zink, Richmond led Princeton, 6-3 after four.
After the Tigers scored a run in the top of the fifth, the Spiders answered with a pair of runs. Conway doubled to right center to plate a run, while Flanagan hit a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Conway, to make the Spider lead, 8-4.
To the Tigers' credit, they refused to back down, scoring two runs in the top of the sixth to make the score 8-6 heading in to the bottom of the seventh. Leading off once again, the senior Conway came through for Richmond, hitting his second solo homer of the day over the left-field fence. Conway's fourth home run of the season gave Richmond a 9-6 advantage.
Princeton made it interesting in the top of the ninth, scoring one run and loading the bases, but Maffett was able to close it out for the Spiders, inducing a game-ending groundout to secure the win, 9-7.

Are you sure that isn't two different hives? One on each side of that beam?
Wow TWT, that is a massive hive. I have a question however. You say you saved the brood. How did you go about that?Jake
Did you end up covered in honey?
Did you get the queen? (I am sure she was easy to spot in that crowd :-P)
How many boxes did you fill up?
What was the temperament of the bees?
What tools did you use?
Do you plan on a follow up visit?
Did you have fun?
Man what a hive! Ted.....want to come to Reynolds, Ga. and help a newbee cut out a couple? I have two to remove in June. One is small and will probally be easy. The other one???????. Steve
The new owner does not close until June 1. The present owner may not appreciate me tearing up his house although the bees are the only ones living there. Steve

That's a sweet looking White Fett you've put together there. Very well done. Looks great !!
Wow!! That is awesome!!! Great looking suit bro!
I'm sure someone on here can help ya out with the sling gun.
UNBELIEVABLE! That is too cool! Just paint those boots white.
WOW!!! All I can say is paint the boots and its perfect!
Awesome man! Great work!
Fantastic, you really pulled off the look.
Wow. Sooooo nice. Awesome!
AAA-wesome vod'ika. You nailed it!
Someone get this man a vintage Star Wars towel. This is one of the best Fett costumes I've seen in years. Amazing...simply amazing.
WOW!! Just wow!
Why didn't you paint your costume? (I bet you got a lot of that)
Seriously, that is the coolest thing. I love it.
Contact wizardofflight for his slinggun blueprints.
Seriously cool. I dig it.
That is the best Albino Fett I've seen in a long time.
Wouldn't he have a red visor if he was truly an albino? I love how all the little details still stand out on your otufit.
Looks great! Would be nice to see lined up beside some plain white clones and stormies.
I would like to see you against a plain white background.
Very cool setup.
I agree, paint the boots and you`re all set!!
Hi and thanks a lot for all compliments !
BtW, the boots are white now ;-)
That's such a nice Fett. Deffinately get a group shot with white clones and stormtroopers.
If only I thought of this before I did my custom.
Every time I look at the pic from Pre-pro of that costume I think, I would love to make that, if it didn't require lots of money to add to the mix! If I had the extra money I would start it right away! Wouldn't take me long to make being the coloring is all 1 sided! It is very awesome and I wish Lucas would of integrated him into hoth earlier in the movie to add that. Technically it is considered canon too!
Great looking costume!!
fantastic! Just great!

Memories of Borth
Fond Memories
I first visited Borth as a toddler in the early 60's, with my Uncle Dai from Machynlleth. I used to visit him and his wife to stay with them for holidays. As he had worked the railways he used to take me from Mach to Borth on the train and would sit on the bench, watching while I played on the sand. Uncle Dai bought me my very ...Read full memory
My Love Of Brynowen Continues
I do not remember my first visit to Borth as I would have been a few months old around about the spring of 1963. As a family we then returned every year staying at Brynowen, sometimes twice a year, until I turned 18 at the end of 1980. By then I felt I was too old and branched off on my own holidays. By chance ...Read full memory
My Stay In Borth Umer 1965
I came to Borth at the age of 15. I was with a youth group of baptists from Rogerstone, Newport in Gwent. We stayed for a week at The Grand Hotel. We had religous education in the mornings and then the rest of the day was ours on the beach. We gathered on the beach in the evening time for communal hymn singing! How ...Read full memory
Evacuated To Borth
I think it was about 1939-41 that my mother, Florence O'Donovan, my sister Sheila and I went to Borth with Mrs Back and her children Joan and Guy to get away from the danger of living in Norwich which was a target for bombing during the Second World War because of its RAF base.

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
using `cat` under *NIX - just because you help manage M$ Windoze
*doesn't* mean you should have to resort to using it!

This find files of name like *.log and truncates them.

Works for most distributions, tested on Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, Gentoo, SUSE, RedHat.
Debian and Slackware:
cat /etc/*version
Takes input from the connected terminal and dumps it to the specified file. Stop writing and close file with control + D or the end of line character. Useful for copying+pasting large blobs of text over SSH to a new machine.
Note that the file at the given path will have the contents of the (still) deleted file, but it is a new file with a new node number; in other words, this restores the data, but it does not actually "undelete" the old file.
I posted a function declaration encapsulating this functionality to http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/7yx6f/how_to_undelete_any_open_deleted_file_in_linux/c07sqwe (please excuse the crap formatting).
Forwards localhost:1234 to machine:port, running all data through your chain of piped commands. The above command logs inbound and outbound traffic to two files.
Tip: replace tee with sed to manipulate the data in real time (use "sed -e 's/400 Bad Request/200 OK/'" to tweak a web server's responses ;-) Limitless possibilities.
The value for the sort command's -k argument is the column in the CSV file to sort on. In this example, it sorts on the second column. You must use some form of the sort command in order for uniq to work properly.
from http://matt.ucc.asn.au/ssh-xfer/
"ssh-xfer is a hackish but handy way of transferring files from remote hosts to your local computer. Firstly, you need to run a slightly modified SSH authentication agent program on your local computer. Patches are available for both OpenSSH and PuTTY, see below. If you haven't used a SSH agent program before, this article seems to be reasonable, or you can look at the OpenSSH/PuTTY docs.
You don't need any modifications to your ssh client or server programs - only the modified SSH authentication agent, and the extra ssh-xfer program."
creates a new tab for each of N servers in listofservers.txt and ssh's to said servers
then, try the "send to all sessions" feature of konsole to do the same work on all servers at the same time. BIG time saver, but be careful!
Enter your ssh public key in the remote end for future key-based authentication. Just type your password one last time. The next time you should be able to login with the public key. If you don't have a key, generate one with ssh-keygen.
Requires Bourne-compatible shell in the remote end.
This command will generate white noise through your speakers (assuming you have sound enabled). It's good for staying focused, privacy, coping with tinnitus, etc. I use it to test that the sound works.
Have you ever had to scp a file to your work machine in order to copy its contents to a mail? xclip can help you with that. It copies its stdin to the X11 buffer, so all you have to do is middle-click to paste the content of that looong file :)
Sends the microphone input from PC1 to the speakers of PC2. Do the same in reverse to have an actual conversation ;) ... maybe with another port tough

Debbie Kirch to Assume Roles as Assistant AD and SWA
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Debbie Kirch has assumed the roles of Assistant AD for Compliance and Student Services and Senior Woman Administrator with Green Bay Athletics, Director of Athletics Ken Bothof announced on Monday. To take on the positions, Kirch will step down as head volleyball coach after 16 seasons and 174 victories. Bothof indicated a national search for a head volleyball coach will begin immediately.
"I know this was a tough decision for Debbie, because she has put so much hard work and energy into our volleyball program for the past 16 years," said Bothof. "I am excited about her interest to step into this new role, and her administrative experience as a head coach, knowledge of NCAA Compliance, and her passion for Green Bay Athletics will be a valuable asset to our student-athletes, coaches and staff."
"I want to thank Ken Bothof for giving me this opportunity," said Kirch. "I am not sure there is ever a good time to leave coaching because there are always student-athletes that you want to continue to work with, and that is definitely the case with the returning roster from the 2012 team. However, I am looking forward to seeing the volleyball program continue to grow and build off of this season. It is a wonderful group of student-athletes who represent the program well."
In Kirch's new role, she will monitor the athletics department for compliance with NCAA, Horizon League and institutional rules and regulations and provide NCAA rules education to coaches, staff, student-athletes and boosters.
As the senior woman administrator, Kirch will provide guidance on issues involving female student-athletes and sport programs and serve on the Horizon League's Executive Committee. She will also provide sport supervision for several sport programs and serve on the athletics department's senior staff.
Kirch will also oversee student-athlete academics services, including supervision of the athletics academic coordinator and academic mentor. She will coordinate support services and life skills awareness which assist in the professional and personal development of student-athletes.
"I am looking forward to my new role as an administrator and hope that I can make an even bigger impact on our department as a whole," said Kirch. "There are so many positives about Green Bay Athletics, from the success our student-athletes achieve on the field of play, to their success in the classroom and their impact in the community, and I am excited to work to grow that success in this role. Green Bay represents all that is good about college athletics, and I am proud to have been a part of that for the past 16 years."
Kirch began her career at Green Bay in 1997, and after taking over a program that had won just three games the prior season, resurrected the program. In 2003, Green Bay posted a 23-11 record, the program's inaugural league tournament title and the first NCAA Tournament appearance in program history. She earned 2003 Midwest Region Coach of the Year honors and was a finalist for national coach of the year.
Off the court, Kirch's teams earned appearances on the AVCA Academic Team Award list from 2000-04, 2006-09 and 2010-12. In the spring of 2011, the squad led all Green Bay athletics programs with an impressive 3.66 grade-point average. The team has earned the Horizon League's Community Service and "Raise Your Sights" awards for volunteer hours in the community. Active nationally in the volleyball community, Kirch served on the AVCA All-American Committee from 2007-09. She was also a member of the AVCA All-Midwest Region Committee from 2005-09.
Prior to her appointment as Green Bay head coach, Kirch served as both the assistant women's volleyball coach and head coach of the men's volleyball club team at Northwestern University. Kirch was also an assistant at Mississippi State University and head coach of both the boys and girls volleyball programs at New Trier High School in Winnetka, Ill.
"It was definitely a difficult decision for me. Volleyball and coaching has been such a huge part of my life," said Kirch. "I have been coaching at various levels for over 20 years now and there are going to be a lot of things I'll miss - I consider myself lucky to have been a part of so many student-athletes' lives, to have been a part of their development, both as athletes and as people during their college careers. I am very proud of the young women that have come through our program, proud of what they have achieved while they were here and proud of what they have achieved after they graduated. As competitive as I am, it is that part of coaching I'll miss the most, but I'll look forward to being a part of the achievements of even more student-athletes."

"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"Again, these were perfect for a nine year old's "Lego Birthday Party"....I used a photo of him in his Lego costume from last Halloween!"
"Most kiddie invites are too bright and cartoonish. These still embrace the childhood whimsy while staying classy and timeless. Very good quality paper and I upgraded to the colored envelopes and was very happy."
"Birthday invitations I ordered came out beautiful and were shipped right away got them that same week. I will be ordering from tiny prints again. I am a satisfied customer."
"This was the perfect invite for my daughter's 11th birthday. She's too old now for the cutesy invites and she's not a frilly girl, so this was perfect. I'm very pleased with the quality."

Several publicatoins & books maintain fondant is the one and only.
Personally I thought honey dribbled into empty comb would have gotten the biggest thumbs up??
I remember a report on a low-quality "feed" HFCS that was looked at for neonicotinoids. But beyond that, can someone direct me to any report that consistently or shows across the board that all HFCS is tainted with neonicotinoids.So I'll ask two simple questions for those "red flag" wavers, about HFCS. One, show me your studies that you could across the board claim it is tainted with neonicotinoids. Two, show me the same studies that allow you to claim sugar is untainted.Almost all food products are allowed to carry a certain amount of pesticides and chemical tainting. And I'm not here to say that it's OK. But I'll bet my next paycheck, that for every person claiming HFCS is bad, that the same is probably true in regards to the alternative that you push as a replacement.And don't give me some article about 8 parts per billion, and no actual research to back it up, when the same studies of CCD hives show astronomical levels of every day chemicals numbering dozens of types, that the bees pick up.Yeah, like the thing you need to worry about is HFCS. Commercial queens probably are tainted way beyond that based on research.
Two, show me the same studies that allow you to claim sugar is untainted.
They more probably collected it for pollen. As long as they are flying, dysentary isn't such a problem.-rick

- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- Sour cream
- Combine the potatoes and 2 tablespoons taco seasoning. Press into a greased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate; set aside.
- In a skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the beans, barbecue sauce, water and remaining taco seasoning. Cook and stir until hot and bubbly. Spoon into potato crust.
- Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until heated through. Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream. Yield: 4-6 servings.

The lackluster housing market has plagued homeowners over the past few years. In 2013, it started to head down the road to recovery, finally showing signs of life. That same trend will continue in 2014, proving that the once-struggling housing market is determined to bounce back. So what can you expect to see this year? More homes should be available, mortgage rates will increase, and housing prices should rise. Here's a look at five trends that are anticipated to occur this year.
1. Inventory will rise
In 2013, a small supply of homes on the market drove up home prices quite a bit. In fact, the National Association of Realtors, a Washington trade group, called 2013 the "year of low inventory," CBS News reports. However, that is not what we'll be seeing in 2014. "New construction and rising prices should bring more homes, both new and old, on to the market in 2014, helping inventory return to traditional levels," per Forbes. In addition, CBS News attributes the stabilizing inventory in part to cash-carrying investors, who are now exiting the housing market.

Cloud Cult
Following the release of The Shade Project, Minowa busied himself with the creation of Earthology Records. He housed the nonprofit label on his own organic farm, powered by geothermal energy and built partially from reclaimed wood and recycled plastic. In early 2000, he returned to music with Who Killed Puck? After the birth of his son, however, Minowa devoted the bulk of his time to family, recording, grant writing, and environmental activism.
With the sudden death of his son in February 2002, Minowa became reclusive and sought solace by writing a large volume of songs. Lost Songs from the Lost Years was released that summer as a retrospective compilation, and They Live on the Sun followed in 2003, featuring contributions from cellist Sarah Young and drummer Dan Greenwood. Both became permanent members of Cloud Cult, and the band added Mara Stemm on bass in January 2004. Aurora Borealis was released just six months later. For the supporting tour, Cloud Cult's shows included the aforementioned live painters, performance artists, back-screen video, and tables featuring information from nonprofit environmental organizations.
Advice from the Happy Hippopotamus was released June 2005, with the full live band now consisting of Minowa (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Greenwood (drums), Young (cello, keyboard), and Matthew Freed (bass, keyboard, percussion). Later, 2007's The Meaning of 8, 2008's Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes), and 2010's Light Chasers found the band specifically addressing its own environmental concerns in song format. 2013 saw the release of ninth album Love. Later that year the band developed a discography-spanning set list for an all-acoustic tour. The recordings from one show were edited and mixed into the live album Unplug, which was released in spring of 2014. ~ Kenyon Hopkin

that can't be it because the EU just solved it all by banning certain pesticides.
If that's the case why aren't Australian bees suffering from "CCD?" Australians have HFCS but no CCD. Australians have the now EU banned pesticides but no "CCD" What don't the Australians have? Varroa mites...Quote from: kathyp on May 01, 2013, 11:05:02 AMthat can't be it because the EU just solved it all by banning certain pesticides.It does no good but makes them feel like they've done something, especially to what they see as evil Big Ag. Guilty until proven innocent, a great way to have a lynching.
I don't post often, but I think I'll stir the syrup. If you read the abstract, it seems to make sense. It does not say that HFCS is toxic. It says that some components of pollen and poplar sap contain components which activate the bee immune system. HFCS does not have the components and may contribute to bees being more vulnerable to the environmental stresses.

245 sec. 3 - Negotiations: Saturday Intensive (Fall 2014)
Instructor: Jason Meek (view instructor's teaching evaluations | profile)
View all teaching evaluations for this course
Units: 2
Class Number (formerly Course Control Number) (Non-1Ls): 49658
This course explores the theory, process and practice of alternative approaches to negotiation with the goal of offering students a range of flexible and adaptive tools to support their professional and personal development as negotiators. Through role plays, exercises, workshops, and case studies, we will delve deeply into collaborative and adversarial negotiation styles as we discuss and experience the phases of negotiation, effective preparation and planning techniques, key strategies and tactics, bargaining styles, and important ethical and policy concerns. Students will become skilled at building consensus, framing options and proposals, creating and claiming value under pressure, managing psychological aspects of conflict, and handling difficult personalities.
Drawing upon cutting edge research in neuroscience, conflict dynamics, and change management, students will also learn how to detect and work with latent issues underlying conflict patterns, expand their capacity to influence and lead others, and harness the power of narrative to shift and reshape adverse negotiation dynamics. Significant class time will be spent on advancing advocacy and client counseling skills as well as vital interpersonal skills, such as observing, inquiring, reflective listening, and persuasive speaking.
The highly experiential and interactive format will allow students to experience negotiations as advocate, agent and client in a range of contexts. The cohort structure will promote collaborative and transformative learning in a supportive environment.
This course will meet on the following Saturdays: August 23, September 13, October 25, and November 15, from 9am-4:30pm. The length of assignments will reflect the credit requirement. Attendance and participation at all scheduled classes is mandatory. Enrollment is limited to 20 students. Students who have taken Interviewing, Counseling and Negotiating (244.5)) will not be admitted.
Due to the use of simulation exercises throughout the semester and the need to determine members of the class as soon as possible, the usual provisions of "Drop/Add" do not apply. All interested students, whether enrolled or on the wait list, should attend the first session at which time enrollment will be confirmed. If you have questions, please contact Jason Meek by telephone at(650) 353-0830 or by e mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Same here! I'm also really diggin' the color scheme; it's cheerful and delicious unlike the usual black/grey/green that's always used for zombie stuff.

That's exactly what I'm saying.
Typos come from clumsy fingers, not ignorance. Every instruction I've ever received on editing classifies spelling errors and grammar mistakes separately from typos.
I think the shirt is funny, but that one inconsistency would bother me so much that I wouldn't be able to wear it.
I don't expect everyone to be as "OCD" about silly grammar mistakes as I am; I was just hoping for a V2.

I tend to agree, except: Sometimes when typing, one's fingers sort of run away with a word. They begin typing the intended word, but end up finishing a different word. Although you can't see it because I corrected them, I had the following typoes in my preceding comment (actually, I'll just paste the original, pre-edited form as a demo):

text: Having grown up rushing home after school at the end of the baseball season to watch such greats as Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, and Yogi Berra, watching the World Series is as much of a tradition for me as viewing Wimbledon, the U. S. Open Tennis Championships, and the Kentucky Derby. So, it's with both history and interest in baseball, that I have avidly been watching the Boston Red Sox team as they work their way through each of the games of the current World Series. Read more

Miracle sticks
By Terry
from Compton CA
About Me Advanced
Comments about Volkl Wall Skis 2013:
I'm new to skiing but progress relatively quick because these miracle sticks. I had the volkl ledge before this purchase and these skis are noticeably heavier and stiffer but much better for bigger jumps. I really only like to ride rails but still enjoy these and they are my first pick for a park ski. You can pump harder, go faster, and dig deeper. They're guaranteed to increase ur hustle by 10% and swag by arguably 20% Believe what you want, but i hadnt been laid in almost a year... Bought these skis and got laid within days. Miracle, yes.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Grandson been on slopes since Volkl
By The Hockey Player
from SLC, UT
About Me Beginner
I'm 15 years old and live 20 minutes from the greatest snow on earth. My friend and I are learning so fast. We're used to boarding so these are my first skis and I love them. They're light and we're loving learning all the differences. I love my skis. One came off the boot after a jump and it kept going forever. I thought I had lost it for good. Thankfully a long walk down the hill took us to it.
It's nice when you get what you ask for!
By Steve Mac
from Steven's Pass, WA
About Me Professional
This ski is great! It's a low snow year, and this is the tool that made it fun. It shreds from edge to edge, it actually can carve a turn! unlike most others in it's category) and is SUPER resiliant. Unlike some park skis that go flat and floppy within the week you mount them, this reinforced lil beast has been taking a BEATING from me all month long and it doesn't seem to be affected. Thats a rare quality for a ski on my foot.
Stiff, non-directional park ski
By shastown
from Golden, CO
About Me Expert
I have yet to actually use this ski, but I can tell you that this ski is pretty stiff for a park ski, it has symmetrical width dimensions about the waist of the ski, and it does not have a symmetrical flex patterns about the waist. I am really excited to ride this ski. I am 5'11 170lb a former racer and gymnast and was really looking for a fairly non-directional, stiff park ski with a reputation for being durable.

Not what i was expecting...
By Spamone
from Wyoming
After skiing on the Srcatch's for 4 years i got these, mostly because they were 185. When I mounted them I measured them (with a tape measure) and they came out to be 182.5 cm. So that was disappointing since I had gotten them because they were actually a longer park ski. They are pretty stiff and not the most fun pair of skis I've had.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
