|My dog was unsure about the vacuum. It was the only thing she reacted to and we have conquered it. She was mortified when I vacuumed the golden(he loves the vacuum). At first she ran to the door and peed, I was not happy about that. At first I ignored her but I watched when the reaction would come. It wasn't so much the noise but the noise and the movement together. I started out by just turning the vacuum on and leaving it in the middle of the room. Of course she was curious enough to check it out. Then I would move it a little bit at a time. After a while she wouldn't freak out, but she would avoid it. Now she walks with me while I vacuum and she doesn't move to quick when I tell her to move so I can vacuum the area she's in Anyone is going to jump if the noise is unexpected. So if this happens I would bring the dog to the noise, let the dog smell it and see for itself its not bad.

Grim was unsure of the vacuum. When my wife was running it, he was skulking around like it was going to bite him. I went up near the vacuum and called him to me. When he took a step towards it, I praised, and he kept coming forward. I touched it, reached out to him. He was 'over it' in about 2 minutes. Yes, you can introduce things like that... slowly and get the pup past the reaction. Me? I'd turn the blender on and start playing with the pup or doing some very simple obedience with treats. I'd keep on until the dog relaxed. No allowing running and hiding, though. Everyone has their own way of dealing with these issues. Once the dog trusts YOU, then you should be able to move a dog past many of these fears of other things simply by being with the pup and offering distractions and ignoring that they're afraid. The end result is what everyone wants... the pup looks to YOU for direction when uncertain about something. Guess I'm not the ideal person for a fearful pup, because I just absolutely won't coddle them. When they see their human being confident and unafraid, and not allowing them to fold over silly things... I think that alone builds confidence. I also did this with a yard sign at night at my MIL's house (Grim was in a place he'd never been before). I refused to allow him to have any fearful behaviors toward it as there was nothing to fear. On the next sign (about a minute later) Grim went up to it and pushed it with his nose, as if to say "I'm not afraid of that!"
Not knowing your dog's history makes things much more complicated. However, simple household noises causing such a dramatic reaction? I'd be concerned about the pup's overall temperament unless you can get him over it fairly easily. You can also tether the dog to you and let him sniff, touch, etc. the 'offending' object. When the dog relaxes, give a high value treat. Turn it on. Etc. I wouldn't go so slowly as to leave it out in sight, etc. but that's just a difference in styles. Not that going slower won't work.

Find out where his threshold his. Does he react the moment you pull the blender out? Does he react when you turn the blender on?
Take your time, do not rush him. Don't expect immediate results. Give him a chance to find his comfort level.
Take the blender out and set it on the counter. Talk to your dog, sing to your dog keep it light and fun. Give him treats, play with a squeaker toy. Find out what makes your dog happy. Just do it for a few minutes and then put the blender away. No biggie.
If he reacts to the blender just being out - say really reacts and runs out of the room and hides, take the blender and set in in the middle of your family room. Leave it. Ignore it. Walk around it. Clean around it. Play around it. Let him investigate it on his own. Sing his praises when ever you can. Treat him when he passes it. (Carry treats on you 24/7 so you can catch the action.)
You're building confidence, not punishing his reaction.
If it's just the sound of the blender (at this point, he'll learn the blender makes the sound and might be afraid of the blender as well) then play and sing and make him happy, then flip the blender on still singing and getting him excited and treating then flip it off quickly, treating and playing and being silly. Increase the amount of time the dog is around the blender.
You're building confidence.
Remember, he doesn't have to stay right on top of the blender (or what ever he is reacting to) he just has to not react. If you turn the blender on in the kitchen and he calmly walks into the living room, that's ok.
When you have company over, keep him on a leash. Praise, treat, play while the company is there. Don't allow him to run off (his reaction) but don't force him to greet the people. Teach him to kennel to give him a chance to feel safe.
he wasn't with a breeder, i got him from people that couldnt take care of him anymore. iv had him for about 2 weeks now and only found out a few days ago that hes afraid of this stuff
so lets say im working on running the blender, should i tie him up to me and run it so he doesn't hide while i act like nothings happening? or should i run it from a distance while its running and hes tied to me or on a leash? i think i read somewhere about playing tug with him which he LOVEs to do. he recovers sometimes, which is when i praise him. ive been working on running the dremel around him at a low speed so **** get used to that, which he has been doing good with. its not all loud sounds, too, sometimes ill randomly drop stuff and hes perfectly ok.
i have been talking to them and working with him, but i just wanted to get more options. i definitely wouldnt reutrn him or take him to a new home, i love him to death and hes so amazing other than the random bits of fear.
Could be genetics, sure. Did the breeder introduce sudden, loud noises when the pup was still there?
I would NOT allow the pup to hide. I had a male that was like this in the beginning. I socialized the heck out of him, and made him stay at my side. I acted like nothing was wrong. I didn't acknowledge his fear at all. Keep on using loud things, dropping random things, etc. Don't look at him, coddle him, or act like anything is wrong. Maybe he'll get past it. When he runs from something, does he come back to check it out? If they 'recover' then it's OK. If they don't come back to check it out... then that's an issue.
Please talk to your trainers about ways to build his confidence. Work on building a good bond with your pup. The more he trusts you and is bonded to you, the better chance of him handling things that are new and potentially scary to him. If this is really concerning to you, then maybe return the pup to the breeder and try a better breeder. How were the parents? Moms can pass on bad reactions to things if they are a reactive dog. Unfortunately, it seems that a lot of people end up with fearful pups. Where did you get the pup from?
Fearful Puppy?
Hello i have a 3 month pup he's a little afraid of random things like the blender, juicer and even me moving the garbage can outside
also he is very VERY friendly with people (and friendly dogs) outside the house, loves to meet them, but barks and barks and hides when someone comes in the house (for 5-10 minutes he barks). i just ignore it and act like nothings happening. is this a fear stage or just something that could be in his genes??
can someone give me some guidance to get him more confident and not afraid of all of these things? hes in puppy classes and we do have a trainer come once a week, but i wanted to get more options and see if theres anything that i can get to work.
also just to let you know hes not crate trained, but our trainer suggested we get a crate so we ordered one and are gonna be working on that right when we get it!!

There has been a lot of press about IBM's acquisition of BNT (Blade Network Technologies) focusing on the economics and market share of BNT as a competitor to Cisco and HP's ProCurve/3Com franchise. But at its heart the acquisition is more about defending and expanding a position in the emerging converged server, networking, and storage infrastructure segment than it is about raw switch port market share. It is also a powerful vindication of the proposition that infrastructure convergence is driving major realignment in the vendor industry.
Starting with HP's success with its c-Class blade servers and Virtual Connect technology, and escalating with Cisco's entrance into the server market, IBM continued its investment in its Virtual Fabric and Open Fabric Manager technology, heavily leveraging BNT's switch platforms. At some point it became clear that BNT was a critical element of IBM's convergence strategy, with IBM's plans now heavily dependent on a vendor with whom they had an excellent, but non-exclusive relationship, and one whose acquisition by another player could severely compromise their product plans. Hence the acquisition. Now that it owns BNT, IBM can capitalize on its excellent edge network technology for further development of its converged infrastructure strategy without hesitation about further leveraging BNT's technology.

Amarok can do lots of things very well, but it is clearly not the lightest of audio players. This is obviously not an issue specific to Kubuntu, but since Amarok comes as its default audio player, it is good for Kubuntu users to ensure it doesn't bite more resources than it should.
The default Amarok settings have many plugins and services enabled that may or may not be useful for end users. In my case, a vast majority of them are not, for I am solely interested in playing my local collection. If this is your case as well, there are lots of resource-eating options you can live without. Simply untick them as I did in the screenshot above, then restart Amarok.

Re: Frequency of Changing Oil & Fuel Filters
This thread reminds me I need to change the oil in the boat, tractor, 2 trucks and 2 cars. I am due.
In my current 4 cars (between 23 abd 26 years old and having between 160K and 250K miles, and all daily drivers) I use only dino oil. Also use dino oil in the Yanmar boat engine (34 years old). These engines have never had an oil related problem. The engines have never been "opened" up for any internal engine repair. These engines do not drip any oil and no oil seals have ever been replaced.
I'll stay with the dino oil. I change the boat oil twice a year. and the cars between every 6 months and every year depending on miles. Here in Hawaii temperatures are stable year round. When I lived in cold climate I would change the oil every 6 months no matter what the mileage. I think you get a lot more contaminates in the oil when starting and running in cold climates.
The other thing to think about, when changing oil (especially in a boat), a good deal of oil is still left behind. That oil has contaminants in it that will contaminate your new oil. I like having frequent oil changes to get rid of these contaminants.
Re: Frequency of Changing Oil & Fuel Filters
Some points above are hard to follow, but its seems that some are advocating to skip the Fall oil change prior to layup. If I read that correctly, I have an observation to share. Have you pull the dip stick and seen the oil change from bright amber when new to dark and black? Pretty typical in a diesel, even more so in bigger bore diesels.
Those are contaminants that are bad for your motor. Modern oils have additives that are supposed to protect the motor for a short period of time, however, not all winter. Particularly, not after the oil is a full season old already anyway.
It's your motor, do with it as you wish.
Re: Frequency of Changing Oil & Fuel Filters
I have something of the opposite dilemma to the original poster. I am doing about 120 hours a year, slightly over the 100 hours recommended interval. At around 90 hours the oil is looking very nasty, and I start getting a little mist from the dipstick tube. Clearly it's going out of grade.
So do I change it every 6 months? Stick to 100 hours? Extend it to 120 and change once a year? What does everyone else do?

I don't know when oil became "obsolete", but based on my oil analysis it is doing a great job!
Synthetic oil has been around way longer than my engine, but just old obsolete oil is what the manufacturer says to use. But if it makes you feel good I'm all for you using it in yours.
Re: Frequency of Changing Oil & Fuel Filters
i change my oil every 100 hours and filters double time.
i change my oil before i sit for summer and after i travel the needed miles to get to wherever i go. sometimes i change oil underway.i changed it before runaway diesel and again just after, and again just before i sail out, and .... mine gets changed many times annually.
i usually travel no fewer than 200 miles each trip, unless bay hopping.
Re: Frequency of Changing Oil & Fuel Filters
"But if you want to use the synthetic and spend more money and then replace it less in order to SPEND THE SAME AMOUNT go ahead."
And who changes your oil for you, wee little elves in the middle of the night?
To me an oil change consumes at least 1/2 hour of my time, draining it out, pouring it in, cleaning up the spills, dumping the old oil someplace, buying new oil and stockpiling it or making the extra trip (add more time), so saving half the oil changes liberates at least a half hour of my time, probably closer to an hour.
And then there are also half as many spills or cleanups. If you think you are only saving ten bucks on oil, or twenty bucks on oil and a filter, you're doing the math wrong.
Then there's the engine itself. I started using Mobil1 back in the mid-0's when it was a radical new product available from no one else. That's because I saw the engine tear-down pictures of commercial fleet engines run on premium motor oil versus synthetic. Take off the valve cover, and the best motor oils you can buy still will leave it coated with tar and coke. Some of that flakes off, and now you've got an oil failure when it plugs an orifice. Same engines, same use, with full synthetic oil? There's no coke, no tar, no blockages.
You don't need a lab to see obvious differences that can literally make or break an engine. But hey, if you want to spend the same amount of money using an obsolete product and consuming twice as much of your time and effort...
Re: Frequency of Changing Oil & Fuel Filters
This is just getting crazy. Regular oil is pretty inexpensive even the "good" stuff. But if you want to use the synthetic and spend more money and then replace it less in order to SPEND THE SAME AMOUNT go ahead. Hey its' your engine!
When it comes to oil only 2 things can go wrong for you: 1 - you didn't have any in the engine, 2 - it went bad because you are stupid cheap
I'm also in the change the oil in the spring camp. I see no reason to allow good oil to sit in the engine all winter collecting water and then use it the next season. I doubt that the oil I put in at the beginning of season went "bad" in 6 months and less than 100 hours of operation.
Re: Frequency of Changing Oil & Fuel Filters
I think Maine has the real issue here. How many failures are due to oil related failures? Will synthetic help a motor last longer than one that has proper 100 hour or once a year changes? I doubt it, at least not in a sailboat. In a trawler that does a few hundred hours a week yes it might, but I doubt it will in a sailboat. What is the main cause for failures in a sailboat, I think from my years of watching the forums, (as I have not yet experienced one) it seems to be overheating and head gaskets that are the biggest downfall not bearing failures. An impeller breaks or intake gets clogged and the motor overheats. Often due to safety issues you are not able to turn it off in time to prevent damage. Perhaps some issues may be caused with rings and valve stems, but normally not fatal, just oil burning and extra smoke. I don't think the wear on these heavy duty low RPM engines is enough to justify the expense of synthetic as they are unlikely to see any benefit at all. Who really cares if the bearings are like new if what is likely to do the engine is a cracked head or block after an overheating incident.
I know I use synthetic on all of my personal cars. I had a Miata that was just shy of 200,000 miles when I sold it, but that is a very different scenario from a marine diesel. That was hard driven HIGH RPM use. I tracked the car, and auto crossed it so it would spend hours at a time at or near red line. I changed oil depending on use, about 8,000 miles of street use and after every track event. It did not burn or leak a drop of oil and I switched it to synthetic oil at around 70,000 miles. My BMW uses synthetic as factory recommended but I change it more than recommended. I drive about 18,000 a year and change it every six months. I just think 15,000 is to long to go without oil analysis. Since the analysis costs about the same as a change then it seems to me smarter to just change it because if it comes back as needing to be changed it costs twice as much (cost of analysis and cost of oil). Cars are a different animal, as they are not low RPM and light duty motors.
Sailboats with perhaps twice a year changes, is all they need for a long long life. Unless of course you have a Volvo, we all know they will blow up anytime!
Re: Frequency of Changing Oil & Fuel Filters
Sounds like a great topic for Practical Sailor to tackle.
Re: Frequency of Changing Oil & Fuel Filters
AFAIK the only real difference in synthetic oil is that the "oil" molecules are manufactured to a higher standard. However, since synthetics are usually sold as premium oils, they also usually carry a more expensive load of additives, and it is the additives that fight corrosion and do all sorts of other good things. Mobil1 contains a lot of moly (molybdenum disulphide?) which is an excellent metal-on-metal lubricant. Kendall is pushing some mystical titanium coating, claiming it titanium plates metals in the engine. But the stuff that fights acids, etc? Harder to quantify, but since they are pushing longer oil change durations, they would have to put in more additives to cover the longer oil change period. In theory.
More good reasons to do an oil analysis. It may run $25 a shot, but one baseline, and then one a year later to see if you need to change oil more often or less, isn't a bad investment considering how many oil changes or engine jobs it may save in the longer run. Anything else is basically shooting craps.

Hydro-demolition is a method for removing concrete from bridge decks and concrete surfaces that uses high-pressure water and is faster and less labor-intensive than jackhammering. The process, however, creates a water-based slurry that contains high concentrations of hardened cement paste as suspended solids. This cement paste must be removed from the slurry before the water can be properly returned to the environment.
Past New York State DOT (NYSDOT) construction practices did not produce sufficient environmental controls because the concrete slurry generated by the operation rapidly plugged up the filter fabric, causing the slurry to overtop the basin. This result—known as the "swimming pool effect"—quickly proved inadequate to control the proper release of this waste material.
Moved by the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) Phase II regulations and financial considerations, the NYSDOT had to find more cost-effective, environmentally friendly designs to clean up slurry generated from the hydro-demolition of the concrete decking, to prevent negative impacts on neighboring ground surfaces, and—most importantly— to prevent negative impact on the adjacent surface waters.
Testing a New Material
Other DOTs have used crushed glass in the past because mixed colored glass cullet, or scraps, tends to have a low market value (about $4.50 per ton) and is usually viewed as "waste" rather than a product by most municipal recyclers. The crushed glass can be used as a substitute for granular soils, for roadway sub-base, or added to hot-mix asphalt as a granular component. It also has been used as a pre-filter for subsurface drainage lines.
Because crushed glass had been successfully used for filtration, the NYSDOT proposed to design a crushed glass filtration system. The purpose of the filtration basin is to reduce or eliminate total suspended solids (TSS) from the concrete slurry, thereby reducing one or more of the major contributors of water pollution.
The department selected two bridges on 1-481, near Syracuse, N.Y., to test this fast filtration system. The design incorporated pea gravel, crushed glass, filter fabric, and hay bales to quickly filter and release the treated water back into the environment. The system was installed by Vector Construction Corp.. Cicero, N.Y., as a way to save money and reduce the maintenance of the system. Since Vector planned to expedite the bridge-deck hydro-demolition with crews working nearly 23 hours a day, the developed system had to require very little maintenance.
In order to prevent the swimming pool effect, NYSDOT Region 3 landscape, environmental, and construction staff proposed a design that was both environmentally and economically feasible. Each bridge is about ¾ mile long and curbed with a series of drainage scuppers. The size of the filtration basin designed system was based on the volume of slurry to be generated by the hydro-demolition process, plus 50% of additional volume from rainfall events collected by the drainage scuppers during the operation. Subcontractor IVS Hydro Demolition Services, North Waverly, W.V., continued hydro-demolition for two weeks on each bridge, with an average production time of 21 hours per day.
The filtration system, constructed of hay bales, was 60x20x4 feet. The bales were staked in the ground over a 12-inch layer of under-drain filter material for drainage. The stone bed was pitched about 1% to 2% to allow for drainage from underneath. A highly permeable filter fabric was draped over the bales and stone, and the rest of the filtration system was filled with 3/8-to-5/8-inch crushed glass cullet from Strategic Materials Inc., of Mattydale, N.Y. (now owned by Tomra Systems ASA in Asker, Norway), to approximately 18 inches deep.
The filtration system bed was divided into "cells" by using hay bales as a wall between each cell; as one cell plugged up, a discharge pipe extended to the next one. This feature reduced the need to constantly rake the glass within the bed as the slurry started to set. Since there were wetlands near the basin (approximately 30 feet away), the existing pea gravel used for the access road did triple duty as a buffer and as a diversion structure for the effluent percolating out of the basin.

|Usually when I am discussing WebSphere CloudBurst with clients, the subject of tracking usage comes up.

As you can see from the snapshot above, WebSphere CloudBurst provides usage reports for both memory and CPU attributed to either individual hypervisors or virtual machines. In addition, the appliance tracks storage usage by device and IP usage in your cloud. For each report type, you can specify a desired date range and let WebSphere CloudBurst produce a graph showing usage over that time. The below picture shows the report for memory usage by hypervisor over a one month period.
Tracking compute resource usage is certainly important, but if your interests are mostly about using WebSphere CloudBurst to facilitate chargeback, you likely want to know about our user reports. You can find these reports on the Cloud --> User Activity page of the appliance. On this page, you will find a table that lists each user and their usage of virtual machines, CPUs, memory, and storage over a period of time that you specify. Further, you can download a comma separated value file that contains this data for further parsing or processing on your part. The image below shows an example of the user activity table.
In addition to the user usage data provided above, many WebSphere CloudBurst users find that they want to track the amount of time users had running virtual systems deployed through WebSphere CloudBurst. While the appliance does not provide a direct report with this information, you can use this free sample to calculate virtual system duration times. This free tool uses data available in the WebSphere CloudBurst audit log (data you can process to produce any custom report you need), and it calculates virtual system duration time as well as virtual system time attributed to each user. You use the WebSphere CloudBurst CLI to invoke this tool, providing it with your start and end dates for the calculation (you can find further invocation instructions inside the ZIP file containing the tool). The image below shows example output for both the virtual system duration and user virtual system time reports.
|'Tracking usage' means many different things to different people and use cases. I hope the above information regarding usage tracking in WebSphere CloudBurst gives you a good idea of what you get out of the box, as well as what you can do by using the audit log (in a similar fashion to the free tool mentioned above). If you have any questions, requests, or feedback, please let me know.

"That was one of the worst concerts I've ever been to. I'm just glad I didn't have to pay. No one other than her fans will buy her music… hell it isn't even music, it's noise. A five year old can write better s**t than her." – A+ singer and songwriter about this slowly-slipping from A to B-list eccentric diva.

My 17 year old daughter suddenly has an interest in turkey hunting -- she has never expressed any interest at all previously. I took her on the youth opener, got a group of 7 jakes to 20 yards but she was a little nervous (actually alot nervous!) and missed. I took her out again last week to a place where I knew where a big gobbler had been roosting. We set up on the road that old Tom walks to get to the roost.
We called, he came with his harem and she bagged him. Now I'm glad she missed on the jake earlier. She was jumping up and down and screaming, "I got my turkey! I got my turkey!". Papa was pretty excited!

Go back in time 25 years. The National Hockey League back in 1974-77 was dominated by the Broad Street Bullies and other teams that tried to imitate the aggressive style of the Philadelphia Flyers back then. That style of hockey suddenly reemerged Friday night in Buffalo's HSBC Arena as the Buffalo Sabres and the Montreal Canadiens played an old fashioned slugfest of a hockey game. The Canadiens thumped the Sabres 5-2 in a game that should have been billed Friday night Fights. This was a savage game and the Canadiens Brian Savage did his part in scoring the Habs first three goals.
Archives for October 2001
Sabres blistered in Savage game
The kids are all right
Ten games into the season, and the thought of the Game 7 debacle in last year's Stanley Cup playoffs became a distant memory.
Sabres vs. Devils
'The Sabres are 4-1 against teams that made the playoffs last season.'
Devils wary of Sabres
'"Some teams take them lightly because they don't have Dominik in the net. That's a danger for any team. We have to address it before the game," Elias said. "Obviously, he was a big loss to that team, but it doesn't look that way yet. They're faster and they're playing with confidence."'
Buffalo Sabres at Devils
'The Devils lost four straight to the Sabres last season, including a 1-0 shutout by Dominik Hasek on Feb. 22 at Continental Arena.'
Devils-Sabres scouting report
'Zhitnik had a team-high six assists.'
Sabres drop nasty game to Habs
\'\"I\'ve been in this game for a very long time,\" Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said, \"and it was one of the cheapest shots I\'ve seen.\"\'
Campbell's recall prophetic
'The Sabres lost defensemen Rhett Warrener and Dmitri Kalinin during Buffalo's Friday Night Fight with the Montreal Canadiens, although neither player was hurt during one of the game's many skirmishes.'
Old-tIme hockey
'The NHL also takes attempts to injure seriously, and that means Gilmour and Varada will probably be having a chat with league vice-president Colin Campbell before they play another game. There was no NHL supervisor at the game, but a league spokesman said Campbell was aware of the incident.'
Habs Notebook
'Gilmour dodged questions from the Buffalo media yesterday by electing not to partake in the morning skate.'
Game Report
'Turning Point: Savage's third goal of the night snapped a 2-2 tie at 12:26 of the third period.'
Gilmour, Sabres still battling
'Gilmour makes no bones that he didn't like playing for Sabres coach Lindy Ruff. "After 17 seasons at centre, they asked me to play left wing and just stay in my lane," Gilmour said. "That's not my kind of game. I spent the whole season trying to make them understand that."'
Canadiens 5, Sabres 2
'That didn't stop Montreal coach Michel Therrien from giving directing accusations at Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff after the Theodore collision. "That's two! That's two!" Therrien yelled as he pounded the glass. Ruff said his reply was, "Sit down before you make a fool out of yourself."'
Montreal 5, Buffalo 2
'"I talked to him after, and he felt that he was trying to avoid injuring himself by going over the top of him," Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said of Varada. "He thought that if he kept going straight he would have gone head first into the wall. If he wanted to hurt him he could have just dove right into him. I think you have to stick up for your teammates and obviously (Gilmour) should be suspended for what he did. It was blatant knee to Varada's knee."'
Biron has been golden so far
'Biron, 5-3-1, ranked fourth in the NHL in goals-against average (1.77) and sixth in save percentage (.930) heading into Thursday night. He has faced 230 shots, the second-most in the league.'

Steph Houghton believes Arsenal Ladies can cope with high expectations after being installed as favourites for the Women's Super League title.
Laura Harvey's treble winners enjoyed incredible success on the domestic front last season, winning the league, FA Cup and Continental Cup in a dominant campaign.
The Ladies kick off their new WSL campaign against Everton at Meadow Park on Sunday and Houghton is confident that this season can be another one to remember.
"Obviously I think it is going to be hard to top [last season] but I think if you look at the overall performances, we didn't play as well as we probably could have done," she told Arsenal Player.
"We are trying to turn our performances to make sure that we improve as a team, as well as individually, and I am sure we will have the same mindset as we had last season.
"We just have to make sure that we compete with all of the other teams in the league, whether it is in cup competitions or the WSL.
"You have to expect that teams are going to come flying at you, get stuck in and make sure that we don't get time on the ball. But I think we just have to concentrate on ourselves really.
"We know that we are a passing team and if we keep possession of the ball we will create chances and score goals. There are players in the team that can do that out of nothing and that is really good to see."
Watch the full interview with Steph on Arsenal Player now.

Something is stirring in the undergrowth on the tangled bank... You'll find my evolving thoughts here, but not those of my employer, and certainly not any medical advice...
Last year my pals and I cycled in The Galilee, Northern Israel, to raise money for Nazareth Hospital Paediatric Department. We raised over £50,000 but we could use more! Nazareth is the largest Arab town in Israel; the people are lovely, and the kids are awesome. Nazareth also treats kids in the West Bank of Palestine who have very limited access to healthcare. They need your help! Go to my sponsorship page to find out more and see what you can do! Maybe even join us in 2017..?

"single-shot" autorun in Manipulate[] object
I am trying to create an animation by exporting a Manipulate[]
object. I have two controls, A and B. I need to have A go from Amin
to Amax, then (with A=Amax) B go from Bmin to Bmax, then (optionally)
A go from Amax to Amin.
Using AutorunSequencing option I can only make A cycle from Amin to
Amax back to Amin, and then with A=Amin B cycles from Bmin to Bmax and
back. Is there a way to control it in a finer manner such as desribed
above? Or do I have to use ListAnimate[]?

Topic: Creating directories after adding users via mysql script...
I resently deployed IRedMail(mysql backend), and moved users from old server (mail in mailbox format). I used mb2md perl script to convert mailbox to maildir and it worked just great. I make a script in sql to create about 500 maiboxes an aliases in IRedMail, but after that system didn't create user directories. Only after user logging the directories are created... Now I have problem with moving the old mail because of that ... If I creat directories manualy (or with bash script)and copy there old mails the mail isnt visible in roundcube... Maybe its problem with file system modes .... Is there any way to create this directories properly??
Get fast and professional support from iRedMail developers:

In his CM: the Next Generation series, Joe Farah gives us a glimpse into the trends that CM experts will need to tackle and master based upon industry trends and future technology challenges.
When it comes to CM plans, each project has to clearly identify its own strategies for branching, and subsequently for labeling and merging. There are many different practices for branching, and many different philosophies. Each CM group will vigorously defend its practices and document them in a "branching strategy" document for use by the development team.
In this article we explore a potential standard for next generation branching, one which requires advanced capabilities and processes, but one which can significantly reduce CM complexity and increase CM automation. As well as using it myself, and with a number of clients, I've seen many other companies migrate in the direction of stream-based branching, in part or in whole, with a goal toward clearer, less complex, more automated CM.
Why Branch?
Branching should always arise from one common theme: the need to support the existing codeline. From the ground level, this is not always an easy call. For example, if a build is sent to the verification team, and I'm starting on a new feature, do I have to create a branch so that I can continue to support the code that went ot the verification team? What if I'm changing an API? Do I need to create a new branch so that it doesn't affect other existing code? You may have very definite answers to these questions, but the simple answer to both of them is: It depends. It depends on whether or not you have to support the previous code line. Wait a minute. Didn't I circularize my argument?
Let's take an example and say that I change an API. If it's not yet being used by anyone, there's not a problem. If it is being used, but the changes are all upward-compatible and not requiring other code to change, again, there's not a problem. If the changes do require other code to change, but I package the changes to all the other code as part of the same change package, again no problem. If I'm just making a small innocent change which is totally upward compatible, requiring no other code changes, but the release baseline is totally frozen in preparation for launch day, then, no way! We don't want any changes that could possibly affect the release schedule - and simple software changes that go wrong have a certain track record. So, it depends.
Branching is always a gut-wrenching issue. If I branch, I have a new branch to support, to label and, possibly, to merge. If problems come up that need to be addressed while the branch is in effect, I have another place where it has to be fixed. How do I decide when the branch will merge back? What happens if I determine a new branch has to be created off the old branch for another reason? How will I eventually reconcile them? What about a branch off the new branch? Now let's look at the new release development? Is the same thing happening there? I'm responsible for 100 files, how do I keep my sanity through all of this? Or what if I change jobs? How does the next person deal with it all? This is why we have branching strategies.

Pumpkin fest
Keene Pumpkin Festival sets lit jack-o'-lantern record
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent | October 20. 2013 6:38PM
Main Street in Keene was jack-o-lantern central during the 22nd annual Keene Pumpkin Festival Saturday. (MEGHAN PIERCE PHOTO)
"Tonight this is the center of America," Keene Mayor Kendall Lane told the crowd gathered in Central Square Saturday night. "Tonight we have achieved 30,581. Tonight we hold the world record."
The 22-year-old festival that attracts about 80,000 people to the city each year originated the Guinness category in 1991 with 600 jack-o'-lanterns and went on to set the record a total of eight times.
The world record attempt was bolstered this year by Keene business C&S Wholesale Grocers, which donated 20,000 pumpkins to the public days before the festival. Festival attendees continued to drop off carved pumpkins throughout the festival, which started at noon.
"The pumpkins are beautiful, but you are outstanding," Kelly said to the crowd gathered for the 8:15 p.m. announcement.
Cheers rang out throughout the square at the announcement and organizers, including Ruth Sterling of Let it Shine Inc., and festival founder Nancy Sporborg, linked arms and started chanting "bring it home."
He beat the record of 102 with 135 jack-o'-lanterns carved.

Water supply good even as snowpack lags
March 7, 2012
Statewide snowpack is still well behind average, and even further behind last year at the same time, but it's slowly improving, Natural Resource Conservation Service officials say.
The organization eyes snowpack to determine what the upcoming summer's water supply looks like, while others look to the manual and Snotel reports to determine how Colorado's ski industry fares in terms of product offerings.
So far, water supply closely mirrors the state's below-average snowpack.
"All major basins in Colorado are expected to have below-average runoff conditions this spring and summer," conservation service officials wrote in a press release. "The South Platte Basin has the highest snowpack percentage in the state and boasts some of the highest streamflow forecasts."
That's due to several upslope storms that dropped precipitation along the Front Range before petering out at the Continental Divide.
The Colorado River Basin is at 75 percent of average snowpack and 59 percent of last year's snowpack. That's improved from Feb. 1's 69 percent of average snowpack.
Water storage in the Colorado basin, though, is at 116 percent of average, indicating good planning on behalf of water managers in a high runoff year last year.
"Fortunately for most water users, reservoir storage is above or near average across most of the state. This available stored water should help alleviate any late-summer shortages," officials said.
Basins below average water storage include the Arkansas and Rio Grande, which suffered from last year's lack of storms.
Statewide, snowpack is at 81 percent of average, up from 72 percent recorded on Feb. 1. Water storage statewide is at 107 percent of average.
"This year's La Nina pattern has been dramatically different than the previous La Nina pattern," conservation service officials said. "At this time last year, many basins in Colorado had broken records that had been in place since the 1930s; this year, average would be a welcome benchmark."
Meanwhile, February's snowfall pounded the Yampa, White and North Platte basins as well as the combined San Juan, Animas, Dolores and San Miguel basins, putting those areas in a much better position than in previous months.
"The Arkansas, Upper Rio Grande and Colorado basins benefited the least from the February storm systems, but their snowpack percentages still improved," officials said. "Across the state, all major river basins received near or above average snowfall for the month of February."

Top 10 2007-Cross Site Request Forgery
Cross site request forgery is not a new attack, but is simple and devastating. A CSRF attack forces a logged-on victim's to send a request to a vulnerable web application, which then performs the chosen action on behalf of the victim.
This vulnerability is extremely widespread, as any web application that
- Have no authorization checks for vulnerable actions
- Will process an action if a default login is able to be given in the request (eg http://www.example.com/admin/doSomething.ctl?username=admin&passwd=admin)
- Authorizes requests based only on credentials that will be automatically submitted via cookie such as the session cookie if currently logged into the application, or "Remember me" functionality if not logged into the application, or a Kerberos token if part of an Intranet participating in integrated logon with Active Directory
is at risk. Unfortunately, today, most web applications rely solely on automatically submitted credentials such as session cookies, basic authentication credentials, source IP addresses, SSL certificates, or Windows domain credentials.
This vulnerability is also known by several other names including Session Riding, One-Click Attacks, Cross Site Reference Forgery, Hostile Linking, and Automation Attack. The acronym XSRF is also frequently used. OWASP and MITRE have both standardized on the term Cross Site Request Forgery and CSRF.
Environments Affected
All web application frameworks are vulnerable to CSRF.
A typical CSRF attack against a forum might take the form of directing the user to invoke some function, such as the application's logout page. The following tag in any web page viewed by the victim will generate a request which logs them out:
 If an online bank allowed its application to process requests, such as transfer funds, a similar attack might allow:
 Jeremiah Grossman in his BlackHat 2006 talk Hacking Intranet Sites from the outside, demonstrated that it is possible to force a user to make changes to their DSL router without their consent; even if the user does not know that the DSL router has a web interface. Jeremiah used the router's default account name to perform the attack.
All of these attacks work because the user's authorization credential (typically the session cookie) would automatically be included with such requests by the browser, even though the attacker didn't supply that credential.
If the tag containing the attack can be posted to a vulnerable application, then the likelihood of finding logged in victims is significantly increased, similar to the increase in risk between stored and reflected XSS flaws. XSS flaws are not required for a CSRF attack to work, although any application with XSS flaws is susceptible to CSRF because a CSRF attack can exploit the XSS flaw to steal any non-automatically submitted credential that might be in place to protect against a CSRF attack. Many application worms have used both techniques in combination.
When building defenses against CSRF attacks, you must also focus on eliminating XSS vulnerabilities in your application since such flaws can be used to get around most CSRF defenses you might put in place.
Verifying Security
The goal is to verify that the application protects against CSRF attacks by generating and then requiring some type of authorization token that is not automatically submitted by the browser.
Automated approaches: Automated scanners do not detect CSRF today, even though CSRF detection can be somewhat automated given a sufficiently capable application scanning engine. However, if your application scanner picks up a cross-site scripting vulnerability and you have no anti-CSRF protections, you are very likely to be at risk from pre-canned CSRF attacks.
Manual approaches: Penetration testing is a quick way to verify that CSRF protection is in place. To verify that the mechanism is strong and properly implemented, checking the code is the most efficient course of action.
Applications must ensure that they are not relying on credentials or tokens that are automatically submitted by browsers. The only solution is to use a custom token that the browser will not 'remember' and then automatically include with a CSRF attack.
The following strategies should be inherent in all web applications:
- Ensure that there are no XSS vulnerabilities in your application (see A1 – Cross Site Scripting)
- Insert custom random tokens into every form and URL that will not be automatically submitted by the browser. For example,
<form action="/transfer.do" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="8438927730" value="43847384383"> … </form> and then verify that the submitted token is correct for the current user. Such tokens can be unique to that particular function or page for that user, or simply unique to the overall session. The more focused the token is to a particular function and/or particular set of data, the stronger the protection will be, but the more complicated it will be to construct and maintain.
- For sensitive data or value transactions, re-authenticate or use transaction signing to ensure that the request is genuine. Set up external mechanisms such as e-mail or phone contact in order to verify requests or notify the user of the request.
*Do not use GET requests (URLs) for sensitive data or to perform value transactions. Use only POST methods when processing sensitive data from the user. However, the URL may contain the random token as this creates a unique URL, which makes CSRF almost impossible to perform.
- For ASP.NET, set a ViewStateUserKey. (See references). This provides a similar type of check to a random token as described above.
While these suggestions will diminish your exposure dramatically, advanced CSRF attacks can bypass many of these restrictions. The strongest technique is the use of unique tokens, and eliminating all XSS vulnerabilities in your application.

Ambinder slams media coverage of Sestak/Romanoff
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder gives the Sestak/Romanoff nonstory -- and the journalists responsible for it -- a sound thrashing:
[P]ractice -- and not simply underhanded practice, but open, above-board practice, since the time those laws were written suggests that the law's authors intended them as a bulwark against official corruption, not against the mixing of politics and policy. In other words, if you apply an originalist reading of these statutes, you will not end up with anything remotely resembling an indictable offense. What keeps this story alive is the media's feeding off the energy that can be generated from deliberately misconstruing the law and its intent.
It is simply not illegal for the White House to offer him an alternative to running against their preferred candidate. There is a reason why no one has ever been prosecuted for this crime.
Making this distinction is critical, because the moment these claims are treated as valid claims, rather than politically-motivated cant, is the moment that they become legitimate facts worthy of a debate, and of news coverage. See this story in USA Today: "Obama under fire for election tactics by Sestak, Romanoff." Under fire ... because USA Today has decided that the charges warrant the label.
The media ecosystem is such that the denials and fact-checking and common sense will serve to reinforce the conviction (if it, indeed, is real) by those making these allegations that there must be something to the story.
More potentially pernicious than liberal bias, than the false equivalences bias, than really just about any other bias that journalism that inject into a public discussion of a story is the power that comes from merely selecting which subjects to cover. Whatever the collection of facts about White House officials attempting to influence primary elections is, it is not a scandal. It is not the type of story that journalists with credibility and experience should be selecting to cover. It's the type of story that journalists ought to resist covering, precisely because the act of giving it attention elevates the arguments that don't correspond with the truth. If journalism is good for anything, it is to provide what Republican Bruce Bartlett calls "quality control" over the narrative. Well, a big mess just slipped by.
Although Obama never promised to abstain from politics, he invited some of this scrutiny by refusing to delineate what he found acceptable and what he did not. But this is a venial sin compared to the transgressions of organized journalism. [Emphasis added]
Oh, just go read the whole thing.

Exhibition, Benjamin Swett: New York City of Trees
Friday, April 5, 2013
9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
This event repeats every weekday between 3/7/2013 and 4/26/2013.
Please note: This event has already taken place. Please use the Search options on the right to find upcoming events.
The photography exhibition New York City of Trees by Benjamin Swett is on view in the Arsenal Gallery from March 6 through April 26 (Arbor Day and Frederick Law Olmsted's birthday). Twenty-eight color portraits of trees around the five boroughs take the viewer up close to some of the extraordinary species that grow along the streets and in the parks, cemeteries, gardens, and backyards of the city. On view in the Arsenal Gallery from March 6 through April 26 (Arbor Day and Frederick Law Olmsted's birthday), the images have been selected from Swett's forthcoming book New York City of Trees, to be released by the Quantuck Lane Press on March 6.
After working at Parks for thirteen years, Swett left in 2001 to pursue a career as a freelance photographer but continued to photograph New York City's urban forest, fascinated by the connections between trees and the city's history. "We know that trees improve living conditions in cities by filtering and cooling the air, absorbing excess rainwater, and making neighborhoods more attractive," writes Swett. "But little has been said about the importance of trees as keepers of a city's past. The aim in taking these pictures—aside from taking the best photographs I could—was to try to bring back into focus an aspect of the city that most people tend to take for granted until something happens to it. The idea has been to remind New Yorkers how much of their own lives and the lives of neighbors these trees quietly contain."
This project was partially funded through a grant from Furthermore: a program of the J.M. Kaplan Fund, with additional support from the City Parks Foundation.

~ oooo' :smt077
I've seen a few guns with similiar grips in the past - always thought they looked cool.
If I did that to a gun, though, I'd keep it only as a range gun. If I used it in a self-defense situation, some DA could really go for the throat and make U out to be a crazy, aggressive person... I know, that's only speculation, but I work in the court system, and I could see it happening....
But yea, it looks sweet :)
Thats wicked looking!!!
Good looking pistol you got there. How's she shoot? Looks real cool.
Wow :smt1099
What's that sitting in the background? Looks like a T.C.B. gun......
Sweeeet Is Right!:)
Kimber makes a nice gun anyway, and with those grips are cool. :)
That looks awesome!!!

In one world, a lethal virus threatens to destroy all life as scientists and governments scramble to find an antidote. In the other, a forbidden love could forever destroy the ragtag resistance known as The Circle.
Thomas can bridge both worlds, but he is quickly realizing that he may be able to save neither.
In the surprising conclusion of the Circle trilogy, Thomas must find a way to rewrite history as he navigates a whirlwind of emotions and events surrounding a pending apocalypse.
Life. Death. Love. Nothing is as it seems. Yet all will forever be transformed by the decisions of one man in the final hours of the Great Pursuit.
Don't miss any of Ted Dekker's Circle Trilogy. Also, listen to this free interview with the author.

"Fantastic Series"
The series is a must 'read'. Black, Red, and White takes the reader on two journeys. The reading is fantastic. The stories move quickly from one reality to another, or was it all just a dream?
This series is a must have for fiction readers, regardless of religious background. Well done.
I really enjoyed all three books, Black, Red and White. The author did a great job with suspense and clever solutions. I loved the creativity of the author, and the way this series makes you think. There are many aspects of the book that can be associated with different aspects of life. I loved this book and I would highly recommend it.
S. Bennett
"more great escape"
Ted Dekker has written a wonderful trilogy in these books. I started out feeling his writing was a little hokey, then found myself reeled in completely. After the first installment I couldn't help myself-- I downloaded the next two and swallowed them whole. A wonderful allegory and escape at the same time.
"He should have stopped at Two"
I would, but I would also let them know that compared to the first two books, this one is disappointing. I hated the ending.
Good question, I never know just what I will be in the mood for when shopping for an Audible book, I like a little bit of everything.
He did great with bringing the Characters to life.
It does need a follow up book, if for no other reason than to make this book into yet another dream sequence. They should not have let any of the other characters travel, sorry for the spoiler, but I had to say it.
I was harsh on this book, but it really isn't horrible, I just wanted it to end differently than what it did.
I love cozy mysteries, historical fiction, autobiographies, and biographies. I enjoy getting lost in a great book!
"Couldn't Wait for Book 3: Worth the Credit"
If you enjoyed the first 2 books in the series, you will love book 3. I found the pace of book 3 to be faster than that of book 2. I couldn't find good stopping points! This series sold me on the Fantasy genre! Good job Ted Dekker! I found this book wrapped things up nicely and I'm not sure what book Green will add to the series. I'm still trying to decide if I need to get Green book 0. People who enjoy Christian Fantasy will enjoy this series.
"Read them in Order!"
Having read Black, Red then White, I strongly recommend that people read them in that order. I also agree with other reviewers that White is the worst of the three. I would give the series as a whole only an average rating, meaning I would not read it again, but found it interesting.
Black would get 4 stars as it got me interested in continuing. Red would be more like 3.5, as it kept me going, and I finished White (2 stars) just to be done with the story.
As to "Christian" overtones, etc., yes, there are analogies...including the less flattering ones of intolerance, multiple interpretations of cryptic passages, and control over the masses by those that are the spiritual leaders. I would say there are religious overtones along the lines of the classic plot of good versus evil, but I did not see this as a "Christian" series.
"Great series, one weakness"
The Black Red White series was excellent with a gripping narrative style. That said, the final book was probably the weakest of the three. The romance scenes are very heavy handed and don't really ring true. Also some pivotal scenes were repeated word for word from an earlier scene. This may have been a deliberate text device used to show the veracity of the experience but it didn't work. The narrator was good but he seemed to change the pronunciation of some names. One character had three different names (Tilo, Teelah and Taylor). I am not sure if this was deliberate on the part of the author or a mistake on the part of the narrator. However these were minor aberrations in a wonderful adventure that made me want to dream.
"Great story. Thought provoking spiritual content."
Narrator is excellent. Spiritual realm realities powerful to consider. Enjoyed Black, Red, and White so far.
"The series reflects the love of Christ"
The book series reflects the love of Christ through almost parable form. In identifying the forces of light and darkness and their dramatic effects in the the lives of God's creation.
Wow! I just finished Black, Red and White. They were all captivating and life changing. Ted Dekker's imagination and His knowledge of the Word of God have blended to tell the redemptive story of the Great Romance like nothing I have every heard or read before. I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to listen to them.
"great trilogy..."
looking forward to reading the 4th book written a few year's later by Ted but following the same story line

When we get snow, its not really that bad, but it seems like we are getting dumped on pretty good right now. The local news has called our area (Farmington MO) the trouble spot.
I measured the snow in the driveway and its 10 inches right now, and it is still snowing.
If you look in the background of the pic, you can see someone has slid off into the neighbors yard.
So, how is it in your neck of the woods?

I'm going to recommend this club, and mark crossfield reviews on youtube... which lead me to this club...do a google search for "Mark Crossfield, youtube, G20 hybrid"... he says it better than me!
I exchanged all of my more traditional fairway looking/sized hybrids for these G20's, as I found myself feeling a bit more comfortable with hybrids that had the look or shape closer to irons. So, for us high handicappers who like hybrids resembling irons, these are the ones to go for.
Found this hybrid hooked a ton. Had to set up literally with the head open to hit a slight draw. The OEM shaft could have been the culprit as quite loose tips so maybe a stiffer tip would have corrected this. A very odd looking hybrid and not great feel.

Does anyone know of anything that I can put in between my mouthpiece and Amp to make my voice sound more like Fetts? Dont break the bank please.
Try finding a cheapo guitar effects pedal that handles equalization. There are graphic EQ's ( they have the slides ) and there are parametric, ( which use knobs ).
Either way, you want to take out some of the bass frequencies, and boost the mid range a bit. You're sort of aiming for an AM radio vibe. Just experiment.
You obviously won't fit an effects pedal in your bucket, but, you can gut it, and tuck the necessary bits in a pouch, or maybe in your bucket, depending on how you have your amp system set up. It's cheaper than the popular costume rigs out there, but those systems do sound awesome!
Here's a sample of what they look like. I'm not advertising or endorsing any of these, just using these as a "for instance ".
I'm using the newton amp and i am willing to try this out. I guess all i would need to do is reduce the plugs to fit.
what about this one?
Hi JW, that's exactly the type. Generally, they are powered by a 9 volt battery. If you open it up, you maybe able to minimize the devices "footprint" a bit. At any rate, just eliminating the case will save you some weight. There are 1/4 " connectors that normally take a guitar cord. These can be easily replaced with connectors that match your microphone and amp.
It may take some doing if all of your gear is to be mounted in your helemt, but it's all very pouch friendly.
I haven't done this myself, but I plan to at some point.
Ok. I'll go ahead and get the cheepo pedel but I will put it in a pouch. I'll let you know how it works. I used to play guitar so messing with these things will be no problem. Never thought of using it for this. Thanks.
I actually picked this up from TARGET after halloween last year for $3 in the clearance section:
They have a bunch to choose from their online store, and for $15 the price is right. Most of them have at least 3 different voice settings which modulate your voice. Comes with the MIC and all......
Hey Scott,
I had one that was blue and every time I spoke into it, It sqeeked and skwoked. You know what I mean. I tried to fix it and burnt it up with the soldering iron. Did you have your on Saturday?
I have a Walmart voice amp that's been gutted and put into my TK helmet attached to the
Hovi-mic tip speakers. The volume isn't all hat great, but there are some cool voice effects. I seem to be constantly changing my TK audio setup though.
Good to hear you have guitar experience, you'll have an easy time dialing in your sound. I play bass guitar ( not so much anymore ) and I always look to music gear to make these projects easier. I would definitely take the pedal apart, just to make it more compact and a bit lighter.
Good luck ! See if you can post audio or video on Youtube when you're finished.
You bet
they sell clonetrooper voice changers for halloween every year at walmart for five bucks they sound just like jango.
