ARSC T3E Users' Newsletter 176, August 27, 1999
Chaining NQS JobsDuring the life of the ARSC T3D and T3E, we've evolved policies governing the submission of NQS jobs. Simply stated, you can't have more than one job per queue at a time. This policy seems to be well-received, and, we hope, ensures fair access. (See "news queue_policy" on yukon for details.)
The policy creates an inconvenience, though, for users who know in advance that they want to run more than one job (for instance, over the weekend).
Thus, we permit one NQS job to submit its own successor, as long as jobs in all other queues, including low-priority queues, have a chance to start before the successor job starts. In other words, one job may submit another, but all jobs must start at the back of the line.
There are various ways to implement this, but we strongly recommend "chained" as opposed recursive (or "self-submitting") qsub scripts. We've seen SEVERAL examples of infinite recursion in scripts gone bad.
As described in the "quick-tip" of newsletter #150, here's what we mean by "chaining":
job_A.script does its normal work, then submits job_B.script job_B.script " " " " " " job_C.script job_C.script " " " " " " job_D.script job_D.script " " " " and terminates.Next question: If these are running in a high-priority queue, how can they yield to other users between jobs, as required?
Our recommended solution is for the NQS script to:
- execute "qalter -l mpp_p=0" to releases its APP PEs,
- submit a null job to trigger an NQS rescan of the queues,
- sleep while NQS starts other work,
- submit the next job in the chain.
For instance:
job_A.script ------------------ [... normal #QSUB options, mpprun parallel apps, etc.. ...] # This appears at the very end of the script qalter -l mpp_p=0 # Release this job's PEs qsub do_nothing.script # Force NQS to rescan the queues sleep 20 # Give NQS time to start other jobs qsub job_B.script # Submit next job in chainHere's the null job.
do_nothing.script ------------------ #QSUB -q mpp # This will run in the single queue echo "This script did nothing, and ran at: " datePlease tell us your stories about using NQS scripts.
Post-Processing Standard Output Files From NQS JobsWe got an interesting question last week.
A yukon user had two chained jobs (see previous article), but before the second job started, he wanted to extract and reformat some information from the standard output file generated by the first job.
For the uninitiated, when you submit an NQS job, for instance:
YUKON$ qsub myjob Request <34488.yukon>: Submitted to queue <mpp> by <myname(3325)>. YUKON$NQS assigns it an NQS-ID number (34488 in this case). When the job runs (in the middle of the night, perhaps), all the information that would normally go to your terminal is stored to temporary files. When the job terminates, these files are moved to the directory from which you submitted the job. They are given names with the extensions,
.o<NQS-ID> and .e<NQS-ID>
for standard output and standard error, respectively. E.g.:
myjob.o34488 myjob.e34488
Our user's first thought was to start the script which post-processed standard output from the same NQS request that was creating it. By launching the script with "nohup" and putting it in the background using "&", e.g.,
nohup postprocessor &he thought that the NQS request might complete normally and copy over the .o file, while the post-processor would continue to run in the background. Then, after a sleep command, the post-processor would have access to the .o file.
This solution wouldn't work, though, because even if a command runs in the background with nohup, the NQS parent request won't terminate until all of its children exit.
Another possibility was to add the post-processor as an intermediate NQS request into the chain.
Our user ultimately chose a simpler approach. He didn't actually need everything that was being written to standard output, just the standard output from one particular application. Thus, he could redirect the standard output from that particular application to a separate file, e.g.,
mpprun -n 50 ./a.out > a.out.stdoutrun the post-processor further down in the same NQS script, and chain the next job.
Here's a sample of an NQS script to do all this (and to "chain" safely, as described in the last article):
################################################################## #QSUB -q mpp #QSUB -l mpp_p=60 #QSUB -l mpp_t=7:00:00 cd ~/progs # cd to working directory # Run main application, save standard output to file mpprun -n60 ./myprog > myprog.stdout qalter -l mpp_p=0 # Release all 60 APP PEs qsub do_nothing.script # Force NQS to rescan the queues ./postprocessor < myprog.stdout # Run post-processor on a CMD PE sleep 20 # Give NQS time to start other jobs qsub next_job_in_chain.qsub # Submit next job ##################################################################

PGHPF Lecture at ARSC, Sept 24ARSC has scheduled a lecture by Doug Miles of The Portland Group (PGI) for Friday, September 24 at 10:00 in the Sherman Carter conference room (Butrovich 204).
Here's Doug's abstract:
First introduced in 1993, the HPF programming language and HPF compilers have matured considerably. Early compiler implementations were often incomplete and inefficient. They also suffered from undue expectations on the part of users wanting transparent migration of existing serial Fortran applications to distributed-memory systems. Despite the difficult startup process, the runaway success of MPI as a low-level programming model, and the advent of OpenMP for shared-memory systems, the HPF standard has stood the test of time and retains its attraction as the only high-level Fortran programming model for both shared- and distributed-memory systems.
In addition to the gradual tuning and increasing functionality of compilers like PGHPF, effective use of HPF has been aided in part by a shift in the perceived role of the language. An HPF compiler is not a completely automated means of parallelizing applications. It is a tool that eliminates most or all of the low-level coding details required by MPI or other explicit parallel programming models. In particular, an HPF programmer still must understand the application, develop a parallelization strategy, and think carefully about its implementation. HPF then often (but not always!) allows a very concise and straightforward means to express the resulting algorithm, with a several fold reduction in programming effort over a message-passing equivalent.
This talk will include brief overviews of several existing production HPF applications, and an overview of the current capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses of the PGHPF compiler. Optimal HPF programming will be discussed, with a view toward practical advice on efficient language features, appropriate compiler options, and how to approach difficult problems such as irregular data accesses and parallel I/O.

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:{{ Does any shell available under UNICOS/mk offer file name {{ completion, as tcsh does? # Thanks to two readers: ################################################################## Both ksh and sh offer file name completion, try, for instance $ touch foobar $ set -o vi $ ls fo<ESC>\ and you will see the shell completes to foobar (assuming this is unique). There is also an emacs completion mode for users not familiar with vi. However, both tcsh and bash are publicly available for U/mk, so there should be no need for users to learn anything new regarding filename completion. :-) We have been using both for years on our T3E system. ################################################################## In csh: set filec Simple as that! Then (from the man page): filec Enable filename completion, in which case the EOT character ( <Ctrl-d> ) and the ESC character have special significance when typed in at the end of a terminal input line: EOT Print a list of all filenames that start with the preceding string. ESC Replace the preceding string with the longest unambiguous extension. ################################################################## Editor's Note #1: Unfortunately, csh in UNICOS and UNICOS/mk doesn't have filename completion. The above csh solution is correct, however, and works fine under IRIX. Editor's Note #2: ARSC, like SGI/Cray, has decided not to support bash or tcsh. Q: I moved some files from my home directory to my /tmp directory, double checked them with "ls," but the next day they were gone, gone, gone. I didn't delete them and I know that the purger on /tmp only removes files over 10 days old. What happened?

Q. I have been asking for a film from the LDS; they say it's restricted. Restricted to whom? Whom could I get to read it? There's no mention of restriction in the library catalog. The film is St. James Ireland No. 0962524. LDS branches here do not know.
A. It's likely that the microfilm you're seeking via your local Family History Center (FHC) has a circulation restriction. This is not a case of being restricted to specific persons — rather, it's usually a contractual restriction placed by the holder of the original records. This film will be available for use in the Family History Library (FHL) itself in Salt Lake City, however.

Enter The Autocrat: 1906-1911
Under Phil Kelso, Woolwich Arsenal didn't exactly pull up any trees in the league in 1906 and 1907, but their supporters at least got a whiff of glamour as the team reached the FA Cup Semi-Final two years on the trot. The Club had never progressed beyond the second round before, and those exciting cup runs certainly increased the thrill factor of supporting Woolwich Arsenal, a club which despite the welcome profits generated from the cup runs, continued to struggle to hold onto its best players.
In 1906, the team cruised past Watford and West Ham, before thumping Sunderland – who'd won the League title four times – 5-0 in front of 30,000 fans at the Manor Ground. The result sent shock waves through the football world, and then the side travelled to Manchester and edged out United 3-2 in a thriller, with Bert Freeman (2) and Tim Coleman on the score sheet.
The Woolwich Arsenal players were now set for the biggest match of their lives, and headed for Stoke to play FA Cup experts Newcastle United. It was easy for the Toon in the end, and they cruised through, winning 2-0. It was a disappointingly flat end to a great cup run, and the club's forward line of Garbutt, Templeton and Freeman, although they drew a blank that afternoon, gave notice of their talent as they troubled the Geordies' defence throughout. Ultimately though, it wasn't quite good enough.
In the following season, after defeating Grimsby, Bristol City and Barnsley, Woolwich Arsenal squared up to Sheffield Wednesday in Birmingham for the semi-final. If the previous year had been a damp squib, the clash with the mighty Wednesday was a classic case of "What if?" for the Club. Woolwich went 1-0 up within ten minutes, as Garbutt nodded in Charlie Satterthwaite's cross.
With the team settling into their rhythm, disaster struck, as the goalkeeper Jimmy Ashcroft crashed into the onrushing Wednesday attacker David Wilson. The referee deemed that Ashcroft had fouled the Sheffield man, and Wilson picked himself up and scored from the free kick. That incident completely changed the face of the game, and Wednesday grew in confidence and reached Crystal Palace for the final with a 3-1 win.
Despite the major disappointment, things still looked promising for Woolwich Arsenal, on the face of it at least. In 1907, they'd finished seventh in the league, reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, Tim Coleman was selected to play for England, and highly rated full-back Jimmy Sharp was picked for Scotland.
Crucially, the club's gates began to tumble during the 1907/1908 season. It's a matter of conjecture why. The Woolwich Arsenal had begun to lay off some of its workers by then, and a few gripes to the local newspapers suggested that fans were none too impressed with the dour style of play which Kelso oversaw. If the team had won that semi-final, perhaps it would have acted as a jolt of electricity through the Club.
But there is a truism that losing an FA Cup Semi Final is akin to a serious smash in the solar plexus for many emerging teams, and this was certainly the case for Woolwich Arsenal. They avoided relegation by just three points in 1908, at which point Phil Kelso resigned. George Morrell took over the reins in the close season, aware that he would most likely be forced to sell to survive. Out went Coleman, Ashcroft, Freeman, Garbutt and Kyle. Remarkably, the team finished sixth in 1909, its highest ever league position. But the initial novelty of the club playing in Division One without a realistic crack at winning the title, had long since faded.
Crowd averages remained mired at around the 12,000 mark. As a salutary reminder of the Club's financial limitations Chelsea, with its Archibald Leitch inspired Stamford Bridge, were now members of Division One. In a first London derby between the two clubs at the Bridge, a gargantuan 65,000 crowd rolled in to see the West Londoners win 2-1. It was a stark reminder that Woolwich Arsenal's financial options at its down at heel stadium in Kent were seriously limited, and after he steered the team to that high placing in 1909, Morrell saw his team dodge relegation by just two points a year later.
But then, the entire history of the club changed, as Sir Henry Norris hove into view. In time, he'd become the game's first 'football Tsar', and a creature of myth. His influence on the club is equal to, if not greater than Herbert Chapman's or Arsène Wenger's. Norris, after buying a majority stake in Woolwich Arsenal in 1910, immediately controlled the club like a medieval fiefdom. Already a director at Fulham, he was a self made man who'd accumulated his fortune through the property market. His company, Allen & Norris was responsible for transforming Fulham from a semi rural area into an urban jungle.
In the process of constructing, renovating and selling houses, he'd built up a formidable network of contacts in London. As a member of the Junior Carlton Club, Mayor of Fulham, leading light in the local Conservative Party and eminent Freemason, his name was well known throughout the capital. He also had a strong social conscience, and worked closely with Battersea vestry and his local orphanage. The Arsenal board welcomed him with open arms, and were understandably impressed with the way he'd helped Fulham negotiate their rise from the Southern League up to Division Two.
On buying his majority stake, he immediately proposed a merger with Fulham, in order to create a London "super club," and a permanent move to Craven Cottage. He was blocked by the Football League on this occasion, but the fact that he remained as Director at Fulham meant that he continued to exercise considerable power in football in the capital, much to the consternation of his detractors who claimed that Norris was well versed in sharp practice in his business activities. Within a few years, Norris's desire to turn Woolwich Arsenal into a genuine power in the game would make him the most controversial figure in football.
1. Who's Who from 1910 lists Norris's interests as "wine societies," "dining clubs," and "vintage car rallies."
2. After the 1905 FA Cup Semi-Final, Woolwich Arsenal and Wednesday players claimed that due to a mound like pitch, neither goalkeeper could actually see each other, and neither could the linesmen.
3. According to records from the time, by 1906 Arsenal had more season ticket holders than any other club in the country.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|We I got the seats
|No offense, but what is the distance between the two doors on your '65, and what does the seat you found measure? Off the top of my head, no, the seat won't fit, but you need to measure.
|I found a mint condition bench seat 94-01 Dodge Ram for less than 100. will this fit my 1965 Chevy truck or should I continue looking?
|good luck.
|My truck having the 04 vortec engine in it made the previous owner run electric fuel pump.idk if its cause the block doesn't have a place/hole in the block for a manual fuel pump or maybe he just wanted to use an electric feel pump.Im just running the fuel cell and mounting the fuel pump on my frame. I decided against using the F 150 seats. I went and measured my dads 05 GMC seat and it came out to 5.9 which is perfect for a 65 truck. I'm not just going to bolt it to the floor. im going to put a piece metal plate on the backside of where the seat bolts so is reinforced . the floorboard would be nice and sandwiched in between the metal plate and the seat mounting area.
blazer tank
this is the blazer tank installed, if I go with the intank efi pump set up. it'll have to do a 180 and filler on pass/side
how many gallons is that??
the blazer tank is 21 gallons and the kit requires you to notch one bed cross support, and hangs down about even with the rear end with 2.5" lowering blocks..
this link shows how to add a intank efi pump factory set up from a newer g.m. truck/full size suv.. in the 67-72 blazer tank
1971 C-10 LS Engine Swap! | Trucks! | PowerBlockTV.com - Video
the seat thing and being safe.. that great and all.. but for the inseat belts to work, you need to run heavy floor braces to hold the seat and those in it. if you ever get hit.. the old seat mounts and or new holes in the floor won't cut it.. you'll just rip the seat out of the floor..
you can add another set of belts from a full sized cars rear seat that bolt to the floor and you'd add a 4"x4" plate to strengthen the mounting points.. and it only need to support a child/child&car seat if in a wreck,
asking the 60's cab floor to hold back up to 500lb in a wreck is asking for trouble
Im 5.9 170lbs.the main reason im looking for newer seats is because the middle console/seat and the built in seat belts.I want my 5yr old son to be able to go to car shows with the girlfriend and I.I also want him to be as safe as possible and her. I can't imagine either one of them being injected through the window.I heard the 04-up Chevy/gm seats are almost a direct bolt in with only modification being drilling two extra holes. my father drives a 05 GMC that has the seats with a seat belts and center console that turns into a seat. I'll take measurements from it and it he will allow ill remove it and see exactly how it fits. as far as what seats are having a truck now they are to captain seats from the 80's van. they have the solid flat base on the bottom and arm rest on both sides.they will be for sale soon if anyone is interested. I think this was popular mod in the 90s to put van seats in. also I'll be doing the gas tank relocation to the rear frame. I googled all the information on what fuel filter cell to use.its going to drop right between the rails like it was meant for the truck.ill be filling it up throw the bed.if anyone needs the measurements on what size fuel cell they need for their 60-66 trucks lmk I wrote all this stuff down. this fuel cell will slide right between your fuel rails
removing it. does allow room for the subwoofer and speakers he asked about in another thread..
so far the best bench seat compo for these is the dodge 2000 ish split bench..(per the truck site)
while junkyard crawling, and measuring, so far the best bucket arangment I've found that will work real well is the 2nd gen blazer concole with shifter on floor and Pontiac Aztec buckets, now if I could find a seat some a-h at the u-picket hasn't desided to destroy for kicks.. I'll replace my facory bench. as it's like a soft spring no support and straight up back(almost) I'm 5'10 so I can move the seat forward some to recline it a little..
most times the thicker seats require (unless a thin under 5'11 driver) the column to be shortened(shown on truck site) or a tilt column, and finding a factory tilt isn't easy, tho. someone repo's it, just can't remember whom.. many use the van tilt.. not sure up to what year iirc mid/late 70's
maybe into the 80's I'd have to research that..
if the o/p has anytype of gut, or is a big boy or tall the thick seats will blow ,tho you might get by with a 13" wheel.. not ideal on a slow stear box..
or hunt down a set of buddy buckets
|Irelands child
As far as tracks - they have plenty of adjustment for placing a seat. You just have to make sure you take that into account when placing the seats.
My biggest gripe with many new seats are the head rests with to me just look wrong in an older vehicle
|The width is the main problem. It's tough to drive if you can't close the doors. You are going to need to look for the smaller pick-up seats like the Ranger, S-10, or Dakota, or eliminate the console. Either way, I'd buy them for that price.
Look at the back of the cab on the 08. You will see it is extended at the back of the seat area to make room for the aforementioned thickness. The cab on a 65 c 10 is a box. Straight up and down. Most likely if the seat goes in, you wont be able to fold the back down to the point that it is comfortable. likely will be straight up and down.Also will end up way too close to the steering wheel.Newer trucks are more ergonimic, older trucks .....not so much.
Also as mentioned, width will be an issue also.
I would recommend fixing the seat you have
the problem with newer seats, isn't always the width.
most times it's the thickness of the bottom and back
bottom brings legs to close to the wheel, and back puts you on top of the wheel..
can't be that hard to find that same year ford on a lot to measure the seat local..
and why the truck boards have threads on how to shorten the column
|Irelands child
|The seats will probably fit just fine, but not with the console. An '08 Ford is much wider then '60s pickups. Ask the seller for the dimensions then measure your Chebbie. A for instance - I have had a '97 and an '01 F150 and could not reach the passenger's side door from the driver's seat. My FIL had a '62 Chevy 3/4T and as I recall while working on it that was not a problem for me to reach that far door. Gotta say, those newer Ford are nice riding seats even without the console ( I have an F350 now)
most likely to wide, you'll have to measure
early 2000's dodge split bench fit..

This might be a bit long post, but it covers a lot of years of gaming in mmos
I think i either played waaaay too many mmos and my expectations are too high ,making them not fun to play ( not worth my time then) OR the current mmos offer the same thing that i already been trough...for years..
(If im having fun spending my time on a game, it better be fun, otherwise its a waste of my time)
I've been playing mmos for a loooong time now. I remember my first ever "mmo" experience was playing yugioh and resident evil online on BYOND (fan made multiplayer 2d games). I was about 14 at that time and i had tons of fun playing those games, actually making friends and chatting around.
At around 15 my brother bought me Guild wars Prophecies (the original). That was my first "major" mmo/coop rpg that i played. My brother and i, with the help of the awesome guild we were in played trough all the campaings and dungeons and quests and missions and that single game gaved me 2-3 years of fun experience.
After about 2-3 years i pretty much finished everything that it had to offer me, so i decided to look for some other mmos.
Then i started playing LaTale (on the EU server aeria games used to host). The game has almost nothing similar with GW1 but it was still a amazing game .
I played that game un till the EU server shut down, and i had bad lag on OGPlanet NA server so i couldn't play it there.
So after LaTale, i found about MMOHUT, and i started looking into other mmorpgs...but i usually ended up playing them for a few weeks, a month or two and then simply quitting ( while they were fun to play for a while, eventually they become either too grindy, too pay to win, to much hackers/bots, too deserted etc).
I was even turned off by GW2 after playing it for around 8 months recently cause of a buggy dungeon that made my party and me waste 1 hour only to fail to blast open the gate at the start of the dungeon... not to mention someone from the party even used speed hacking to try to pull the mobs away from the rest of the party so they can try to carry the kegs with explosives to the door...still failed... Not to mention the other bugs,small and big.
I tried everything, from perfect world, forsaken world, Rift, tera, aion, dragon nest, eden eternal, shaiya, battle of the imortals, neverwinter,rusty hearts, 12 sky1/2, mabinogi,rohan online, LotRo,allods,maplestory, grand fantasia, soul of the ultimate nation,ragnarok, requiem , league of legends, runes of magic...world of warcraft and a whole bunch of others......heck i even tried ultima online .....
none of them seem to be fun for me anymore....
And i recently figured out why...
Besides the fact that some are just too damn grindy ( 3 weeks of hard core grinding to get from 44-45 in a game with a lvl cap of 100??) , and some are just too damn p2w ( buy -with cash- a vial of 100 000 hp/mp that replenishes your hp/mp when it gets low automatically in a game with absolutely no hp/mp regen and normal pots cost an arm and a leg..oh and when the vial runs out..you buy another one !) And alas , some that i find extremely unique and fun are simply deserted (requiem ).
They all feel like single player games!
They all advertise them selfs as those huge MMOs with hundreds of thousands of players that you get to "play" with...but you spend all of your time leveling alone!
Go play rift, and youll be playing lvl 1-60 solo (dungeons and skirmishes/instant adventures and other instances dont count)
Im talking about the core questing, runing around and killing stuff leveling experience, which is a HUUUGE part in a mmo rpg and the best way to spend it is to be alone (cause its the only normal way to lvl...why would anyone whos lvl 40 go to a lvl 10 friend and run around in a newbie area 1 shot all the mobs he needs for his quests.... it actually ruins your friends lvling experience )
And personally thats one of the biggest problem i have with mmos... i wanna so******e, i wana hang out and chat, i wanna meet people and meet friends and play a massively multiplayer game together...instead everyone goes and does his own thing, in some games people barely even talk!! (try out neverwinter, while its a great game...you are soloing trough quests from lvl 1-60, occasionally doing few dungeons-> WHERE NOBODY TALKS,EVER. Just so you can, after spending weeks, months in your lvl 60 char, join a end game guild and do some dungeons....)
So honestly, If anyone knows or is playing a mmorpg where you can spend most of your time playing with other people rather that spending 70% of your time running around and questing alone please do share!
In the mean time...ill be playing Dust an elysian tale, lfd2, terraria ,minecraft...even age of empires II cause to be honest...the games that i spend time on should be fun...the SINGLE PLAYER games i mentioned provide me with more fun than a MMOrpg in which you spend 70% of time questing repetitive quests alone so you can lvl up for weeks in order to get to the part of the game where everyone stops running around solo and starts grouping up for dungeons/raids/pvp...

Hi Guys (n Gals)
I've spent some time looking at knee darts recently as I was asked by my friend to design some for his set of knees... so I went off and after a few alterations have come up with these as a final design.
Let me know what ya think? these have a threaded back section to attach to the knee plates!
Excuse the poor pics (I am no photographer!) :( plus, against the great FP knees look great for for scale! plus the cone is one of my replica found part parts.
*The knee plates have not been drilled, so the darts will appear longer than when fitted* ;)

Eichler Headed to China with NetScouts USA All-Stars
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Former Green Bay women's basketball standout Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) has been selected to the NetScouts Basketball USA All-Star team that will play in the Four Nations Tournament in China from June 17-30.
The USA squad will play a round-robin tournament in three Chinese cities for a total of nine games. Other teams in the tournament include the Chinese National "B" Team, the Australia Rising Opals and the national team of Hungary.
"I was really excited to get the call to go and play in China and represent the USA," Eichler said. "It will be a great way to get myself ready for playing international basketball. I have never traveled this far for anything before, and it's really amazing to see all the new places that the game of basketball can take you."
Eichler's team will play games in Jiangxi Province (June 17-23), Changshu (June 25-27) and Beijing (June 29-30).
Eichler was a four-year starter at Green Bay from 2009-12 where she aided the Phoenix to four straight NCAA Tournament appearances, four Horizon League regular season titles and three conference tournament titles. Eichler's teams posted an astonishing 122-12 overall record and advanced past the NCAA Tournament First Round on three occasions. She finished her career as the school's all-time leader in games played with 133.
A member of Green Bay's 1,000-point club, Eichler earned second-team all-league and all-defensive team honors as a senior in 2012-13 after finishing second on the Phoenix in scoring (11.8 ppg) and steals (45). She was also an all-newcomer team pick as a freshman in 2009-10, and played a key role in Green Bay's run to the Sweet 16 in 2010-11.
Two of Eichler's former Phoenix teammates – Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) and Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.) – recently returned from China where they played in a similar tournament with the NetScouts All-Star team. Ritchie and Sension helped the USA to a championship in the tourney with a 7-2 record.
NetScouts Basketball organizes and coaches all-star men's and women's teams which represent the USA in international competition. This enables highly successful players who have recently completed their college eligibility to represent their country, get experience playing international basketball and enjoy an amazing cultural experience.

Ratings for Dr. Amy R. Criniti
Its Baby Boy: Had wonderful and result oriented experience with Dr Amy Criniti . She is systematic and resolved all my pregnancy related obstacles/issues . Finally Its a baby boy for us after 13 years of long waiting... Thanks to Criniti for her support and caring...and she is the best doctor for all un-explained infertility problems. She is always smiley, reachable and explains in detail about the problem.
If it wasn't for Dr. Criniti my fertility experience may not have been as easy. It's a very emotional and physical experience and her warm and caring spirit and optimism is really helps make a difference. She is so knowledgeable and instead of waiting for you to ask the questions, she thoroughly walks you through each step of the way explaining everything making you feel at ease with each process. I had success after IVF and while I was ecstatic to be graduating from the fertility clinic I was sad to be leaving Dr. Criniti. She is such a wonderful doctor.
Dr Criniti is very knowledgeable and thorough, and she has a wonderfully warm and supportive style. Her follow-up and responsiveness were incredible. I would recommend her to anyone seeking medical assistance with fertility issues.
She is a wonderful doctor. She has warm personality. She is very knowledgeable and explained any question we had very well. She found time during her time off to follow up with us on very important issue.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Criniti. I saw her for endometriosis, not fertility issues, just FYI. She was genuine, warm, caring. She also shared a little about her life with me (her family, books she liked), which I appreciated. Early in my treatment with her we did some bloodwork. When the results came back she called 3 different numbers until she reached me because my counts were extremely low. She called every day for several days to check in and see how I was doing. Although in the end my pain was helped more by acupuncture than by traditional therapies, I felt like I got really good care and that she tried her best with the tools at her disposal. She also was very good about detailing my treatment options, giving me the pros and cons of each, and helping me choose what was right for me.

Perhaps, on other planets in this universe, there are life forms who spend their days in discussing interesting issues, but a trip to planet Earth most probably would be an eye opener to any alien. Turkish Chief of General Staff Gen. Liker Basbug, made a speech in which he said Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey preferred to "the people of Turkey" which immediately in order to emphasize the country was founded by diverse peoples rather than "the Turks." His comments unleashed a thunderous fury of anger from some who insist the correct expression is "the Turkish people." They argue the nation was not created by "the people of Turkey" but by Turks.
General Basbug emphasized that Ataturk wanted to make clear that many people were influential in creating the nation that bears the name of Turkey. I trust this clears up the issue and allows aliens to depart — most probably shaking their heads over what humans argue about — and often kill one another about!

I am headed to DR next month with my wife for a much needed vacation. ( The baby is staying with her grandparents)
Plan on doing some SCUBA diving and was thinking about doing a jungle ATV tour.
Problem is I was talking to a friend who has been there and he said crime is rampant, they hate Americans, and I should not leave my resort. Kind of has me worried a bit. I did some quick research and could not find too much on crime problem there. It is a "3rd world nation" but I still figured I would be relatively safe especially since much of the economy there is boosted by tourism.
Anyone been there before?
Any advice?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Filling Dash
Thanks for the info....but now you have me thinking that perhaps rather than cutting and filling the three existing holes, perhaps cutting them out to one larger hole....Then fill the one large hole and recut for the new gauges...
My plan is for two larger gauges (tach & speedo) in the dash with any other gauges in a console panel....
Anyway you go, it will be a challenge for me as a novice welder....Hopefully the mig will keep me out of trouble.
Too bad someone doesn't sell a smooth orginal. Thanks again for info....
hi joe,
Yes, you could put new pieces in-I have some spray Dykem that I put on the metal, put it behind the holes, scribe and cut it about an 1/8" larger, grind to fit and Weld. As you pointed out, the partial problem is the shrinkage caused by the Weld-you can planish the Weld flat with a Slapper and Dolly. I generally will put enough tacks to hold the piece, then grind the Welds down to within a 1/16" (front and back), planish and do it all again, a few Welds at a time. This will stretch the Metal back into shape without letting the shrinkage get out of hand-if you do too many at a time it can be a bear to get the Metal flat again.
I am going to fill in the Holes in my Dash also, however I have decided to smooth the entire Dash, so, I am going to cut out what I don't want and put a new, one piece patch in-the reason I am going to do it like that is that I want a clean unwelded area to bore the new holes in without dealing with the welded areas (which are harder to drill and a Hole Saw can cut cleanly)-
36 Ford Dash
I want to change the size and number of gauges on a 36 Ford Coupe Dash.
Can I merely cut and weld in the existing holes and re-cut for the new ones or is there a better way than metal fill?
I'm not a seasoned welder, but it seems that cutting a couple of circles and laying a series of tack weld would not be that difficult. Do I need to be concerned about metal shrinkage?
I know there are gauge clusters available that cover the old holes, but I prefer to install direct to the old dash once filled in...

This guide will show you how to add sharing buttons to your blog posts to give your readers the ability to easily share your content with Twitter, Facebook, and a host of other services, to help your message spread across the web.
Jetpack Sharing gives readers the tools to post your content to their networks from the bottom of each post and/or page. You can add this to your site in four short steps!
- Navigate to Settings → Sharing in your site's dashboard.
- Under Sharing Buttons, drag and drop the services you want to use into the Enabled Services area.
- Choose your preferred button style and where you would like the buttons to appear.
- Save!
Need more details? Then read on!
Adding to your Sharing Enabled Services is as simple as dragging the button from the Available Services area.You can configure services to appear as icons, text, or both.
Some services have an additional option letting you display 'Official' buttons that show the number of times the post has been shared in real time. Just choose your display option and drag the services you want displayed to the 'Enable' box.
The following services are currently supported:
- Tumblr
- Google+
- Skype
- Press This (only available on sites that are part of a multisite network)
- Telegram
How can I move where the sharing icons are displayed?
By default, the sharing icons will display right at the bottom of your post's content. Sometimes, you might want to move it elsewhere on your post, such as right before the content. Take a look at this tutorial for for help on how to do that.
How do I create my own custom sharing button?
If you would like to add a sharing service to your blog that is not available in the standard set, you can add it using the Add a new service link in the Available Services section.
You will need to enter:
- Service name
- Sharing URL
- Icon URL
The Service name is the name you would like to use for the sharing service. It will appear in the link to the service and in the blog sharing stats, i.e. Buzz.
The Sharing URL is the URL address to the sharing service. You can use the variables
%post_url% (short URL),
%post_full_url% and
%post_excerpt% in the URL, i.e. http://www.google.com/buzz/post?url=%post_url%
The Icon URL is the URL address to the icon image you wish to use for this service, i.e. http://www.someserver.com/images/buzz.png
Save the service and the new service will appear in the Available Services section.
As you customize the sharing services, you can see how they are ordered in the Live Preview section.
How do I add a Captcha to the Email sharing button
The Email button is great, and you can make it even better by adding a Captcha to the submission form:
To add the Captcha to your site, follow the steps in this tutorial.
How do I use my own resources instead of Jetpack's default sharing CSS and JS files
The sharing module includes an "advanced" option, allowing you to use your own Javascript and CSS files instead of the files added by Jetpack by default. This tutorial will help you make use of this option.
How do I add "via @username" to the tweets sent via the twitter button
There are 2 options to add your Twitter account to the end of each tweet:
- You can fill in the "Twitter Site Tag" option in Settings –> Sharing.
- If you use the Publicize module and connected a Twitter account, this account will be used in the Twitter sharing button.
I don't see sharing counts for Twitter anymore!
That's correct. Due to Twitter removing support for third party sharing counts, we removed the option from our Twitter sharing buttons (Icon Only, Text Only, and Icon + Text) effective in Jetpack 3.8. Twitter will drop support for this feature in November 2015, so even older versions of Jetpack and the Official sharing buttons will also be affected.

Steffani Rush doesn't sleep much. There isn't enough time with a schedule as tightly packed as hers. Rush understands the value of hard work and utilizing the gifts that God has given her.
But the senior education major from Baytown took a detour before finding the fulfilling – and hectic – life awaiting her at the University of St. Thomas. She first attended the University of Houston.
"I went to the University of Houston my first year and I just really knew in my heart that it was not the place God wanted me to be," said Rush. "I felt God calling me here [UST] but at UH I just didn't have it together. I had to go to Lee College to get my GPA in line with what St. Thomas required."
Answering that call, Rush transferred to UST and immediately jumped into campus life. She joined the Catholic Daughters, a Catholic women's group, became active with Celts for Life, and became a Presidential Ambassador at the recommendation of her admissions counselor, representing the university at college fairs near her hometown.
"I wanted a college that was going to foster my faith and challenge me academically," Rush said. "I felt UST married those two together for me perfectly. I could develop to be the best young woman I know God wants me to be."
And last year, she was selected as UST's Mardi Gras Queen for exemplifying the school's commitment to educating leaders of faith and character.
Rush's experience is not unique. More than 40 percent of UST undergraduates transferred here from another school so the University is keenly aware of the needs and challenges confronting transfer students.
"We work closely with incoming transfer students so they can take the best classes to transfer to UST and will be successful in their major," said Cathy Ruhnke, UST's transfer admissions counselor. "Once a student transfers to UST, our welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to become a part of our campus and to get involved."
Rush will graduate with certification to teach elementary schoolchildren. She began student teaching this semester and would like to teach third grade gifted and talented students, but is open to anything between kindergarten and sixth grade. This is not her first experience teaching – she teaches CCE at her local parish as well as dance classes in her hometown.
Following the Catholic tradition of teaching, Rush understands that her faith plays an important role in the path that she has chosen, feeling that as a teacher she is called not only called to educate her students but also be a model of Christ for them.
"It is hard in a public school because you have to watch what you are saying, but personally God is number one and all things flow from Him," said Rush. "Even at a public school you can model virtue; you don't have to fully say it. Jesus didn't walk around pointing fingers all the time, sometimes he showed us through his actions, so that is what I hope to mimic."
Rush is also a youth minister at her home parish of St. John the Evangelist.
"At UH I was in a political science class and as I was sitting there I felt God saying in my heart 'you need to be with the youth,'" said Rush. "I sent a text to the youth minister and said 'you have to get me involved.' It went from just volunteering to actually getting a job there."
As a youth minister much of her time is spent with the young women of the parish with whom she shares tips and lessons on faith from a girl's perspective. She is also involved in planning retreats, choreographing dances and helping with the archdiocesan youth conferences among other duties.
Rush says that it is through prayer and the support of her family and friends as well as the support of the faculty on campus that she is able to accomplish all that she has done. She stresses the importance being completely present and focusing on the task at hand whether that be studying at school, with her youth group kids or with the students she is teaching.
"Put prayer as number one on the list because God is going to give you strength and ability," said Rush. "He is going to get you through all of those things."

I voted, but my vote was based solely on the ugliness of the HK.
which 22 rifle of these would you buy and why
I voted, but my vote was based solely on the ugliness of the HK.
H&K MP 5-22. Why, because I already have a .22 rimfire converter for my AR's, not as accurate maybe but I don't shoot match with it so it I'm not bothered by the difference.
can't go wrong with S&W
it depends if the mp5 22 is roller block delayed like the real mp5, although with it being such a low power round it makes no difference. but i love H&k firearms. very good. never had a misfire unless bad round.
thanks for the input
wanting a military type 22 guess i'm gonna have to get the S&W when i get the money
S&W 15-22...I own one and love it.....JJ
I own a S&W M&P-15 and love it...so I would pick the M&P
I bought an MP15-22 today actually.
The mossberg was an option, I hear pretty good things about it and it's half the price.
The store (and other kids on teh team) have savage bolt action and ruger 10-22s.
Depends on what YOU want it for. I want it for fun of course, but mainly for my son to compete in jr rifle/cmp. So accuracy counts and the S&W is that in spades from all I've read and so far I just popped a few off in the yard to sight it in (for tonights CMP practice - i'm gonna surprise my son with it) and WOW - 1" group on the first 5 rounds. I'm impressed. And that's with the peep sights it comes with, a sight type i've never used before. I can hardly wait till I get a scope on it! I tried 2 different brands of ammo and while they grouped in different placed both did 1" groups. Out of 20 rounds not one flier either.
But my son wants a 'modern' gun and with it he can now compete in 3 classes (semi-auto, tactical and bolt with my old marlin which does 1.5" groups with a few fliers now and then).
I bought the Colt C 4 22 cal carbine and absolutely love the weapon.....Into second thousand rounds and no complaints.......I also have the GSG AK 47 22cal.............From a few feet away it is hard to tell them from the real thing.
I have the 5.56x45 Colt AR 15 and two AK 47s 7.62x39, but ammo is steep and the grand kids don't like the loud noise and recoil.....I enjoy shooting the 22s very much also.
How do you post pictures here?
I chose the HK because it is shorter than the Smith...well, at least I think it is.

Val's Crafty Corner: Let's Build a City!
September 7, 2012 at 6:00 am Valerie at Inner Child Fun Leave a comment
This idea for creative play and crafty fun is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Valerie Deneen.
Enjoy crafting with your kids!
One of our favorite boredom-buster activities is to combine masking tape with wooden blocks to make roads and cities. This time, however, the kids enjoyed decorating the Melissa & Doug Unit Blocks themselves with colored masking tape to make their own skyscraper buildings, giving new life to our unit block set!
Part of the fun was in cutting the masking tape itself! They enjoyed working together on this, with my youngest holding the tape, my oldest cutting it with the scissors, and then both of them taking turns adding the "windows" to their buildings. Great teamwork!
I love how bright and cheerful their buildings turned out! The kids were happy to combine blocks to make HUGE skyscrapers, and enjoyed re-arranging their buildings for their own city. We added some Melissa & Doug wooden vehicles and road signs for plenty of imaginative playtime fun!!
The best part about this little activity is the smiles! It didn't take long for the kids to assign roles to each block — a firehouse, a school, a library, to name a few. Soon the library was on fire, and the firetrucks (and one very confused school bus) came to the rescue!!
Have fun!!

Smallpox is a contagious, disfiguring and often deadly disease that has affected humans for thousands of years. Naturally occurring smallpox was eradicated worldwide by 1980 the result of an unprecedented global immunization campaign.
Samples of smallpox virus have been kept for research purposes. This has led to concerns that smallpox could someday be used as a biological warfare agent.
No cure or treatment for smallpox exists. A vaccine can prevent smallpox, but the risk of the vaccine's side effects is too high to justify routine vaccination for people at low risk of exposure to the smallpox virus.

Livin' proof of a dying dream
The art on the website reminds me a lot of GW2.
Also, generic teaser is super generic.
Only thing that impresses me about that teaser is the games they have supposedly worked on before... lol.
why even post this? the website and trailer are only empty placeholders.
like posting an empty car parking spot.
i suspect a blatant early start for another cash grab marketing scheme.
Be warned - I am a major player of Regnum Online the mmo. I've been playing it for about 2 years and rarely go without logging in at least once a day. You can also look at good alternatives to Regnum such ase Aion online and Aika Online.

"That's why I love OnRPG, we can spend two pages

Anyone remember when EA wasn't a company full of money grubbing jerks?
Also putting Warhammer on there was a bad idea considering how badly the game was handled. it's like say "Hey we may have messed up but trust us."
Which the Elder Scrolls !????? Which one you made. Shit. Fk. God. Damned. Useless. Teaser.
I make good trailer?
eww i wanna do the script for the trailer
Opening scene:
Snow effect
From the creators of (Insert popular title here)
Closing scene:
More snow.
Coming Soon
Dont mean to sound like a ass. But what is the point of showing a trailer with no game play nothing but some words and snow?


text: Does anyone have a good setup for speakers for a Jango? I have read threads about people putting them in the jet pack but in my opinion that just makes your voice sound like it is coming out of your back. I have tried setting an amp up there on my TK and wasn't too happy with it. Is there a good way to get a good speaker system set up in the helmet so that the sound isn't blocked due to no real good openings for the sound to come from.

After an extended summer, cool and wet weather starts to set in, resulting in a bloom of beauty for those who know where to look. I'm talking about fungi; those things that taste so good with butter on toast, form mould on your bread, and make your feet itch!
Wood Rotter (Gymnopilus junonius)Image: Colin SilveySource: Museum Victoria
In the past, fungi were classified as plants. But fungi differ from plants in that they do not possess the ability to generate their own food from the sun (photosynthesis), and must obtain their energy from other sources.
Left: Mycena sp. (probably M.viscidocruenta). Right: Unidentified species.Image: Two toadstool species in Forest GallerySource: Museum Victoria
So what do fungi "eat"? Some fungi are parasitic, and feed off other living things. Some fungi parasitise plants, while some other specialized types parasitise insects, spiders and other arthropods.
Caterpillars (Hepialidae) infected with different types of parasitic fungi. The caterpillar on the left has been consumed by Cordyceps gunnii.Image: Colin SilveySource: Museum Victoria
Other types of fungi are saprophytic, meaning they obtain their energy and nutrients by breaking down dead plant and animal material. This is the reason you see many growing on old and rotten logs in the forest, amongst leaf litter and on animal dung.
Left: Undescribed species. Right: Gymnopilus sp.
Image: Colin SilveySource: Museum Victoria
The fungi in these photos are referred to as macro-fungi, and belong to the phylum Basidiomycota. This group contains the well known mushrooms, toadstools and puffballs. Just last week I took these photos in our very own Forest Gallery and Milarri Garden. Many fungi spores find their way into the galleries by being transported by the wind and with soils and mulch brought in by horticultural staff. Some may even hitch a ride in on your shoes! Sometimes destructive fungus that we don't want in the galleries gets in by accident. Honey fungus (Armillaria spp.) is a parasitic fungus that attacks and kills living trees. The largest living organism in the world is a species of honey fungus called Armillaria solidipes and covers an area nearly eight and a half square kilometres! Honey fungus could ruin the Forest Gallery if left unchecked, so we constantly have to monitor the plants and soils to make sure it doesn't gain a foothold.

Fungi start life as tiny spores, and colonize their chosen substrate with small threads called hyphae.

Hyphae form large masses of mycelium, which decompose dead materials using special enzymes and chemicals.

When the fungus is ready to reproduce, if forms a fruit (mushroom!).

Many animals like to eat fungi, including slugs and snails, insects, small mammals, and humans! Uneaten fungi decompose to a thick slime rapidly.
Lepiota sp.

Some fungi can be very toxic, and very hard to identify. You should never eat fungi that you can't correctly identify. There are many groups of fungi enthusiasts that conduct fungi collecting trips and provide help in the correct identification of edible species. The Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne run a database of fungi sightings called Fungimap, which is a great resource for people who enjoy the fungus among us. So, get out there and have some fun, guys! (Sorry.)

This educational idea is brought to you by Melissa & Doug , written by our Blog Ambassador Amy Mascott.
"Music is an incredible way to develop important academic and social skills. The recorder is a great stepping stone." -Amy
We are not a musical family.
We do a whole lot of singing and a whole lot of dancing, but (gulp!) very little of it is done well.
So I thought that introducing an instrument to our family would be a great idea for our children, knowing that playing instruments takes coordination, determination, and math and reading skills. What better way to sneak in some fun learning?
My kids have been playing with the Melissa & Doug Beginner Band Set for years, so adding the Recorder to the mix was a natural next step. With a little bit of research on my part, and a whole lot of practicing on everyone's part, my kids had learned a basic song sooner than we thought.
We focused on four notes: letter B, A, G, and D. And we practiced one song and one song only: Mary Had A Little Lamb.
Once we got a feel for the four notes, we tried putting them together in the song. It wasn't easy at first, but we tried and tried and soon we got it!
Talk about determination! There was a lot of recorder playing going on in our house!
What I realized was that for my children, knowing every single note wasn't important. It was more important for them to understand that just like reading and just like math, a simple formula would result in a beautiful song.
And it was also great for them to learn just how satisfying it can be to play an instrument. I'm positive that our simple fun with the recorder will lead to my children's interest in other instruments–wind, string, and percussion!
Interested in hearing first-hand some of our family's own Recorder tunes? Check out our short video that includes several renditions of Mary Had A Little Lamb as well as some fun extra Recorder songs!

Although many transportation agencies measure freeway traffic flows using commonly available loop detector data, a similar approach for urban arterial roads doesn't exist. In fact, operational data from urban signal systems are neither stored nor analyzed, preventing traffic engineers from proactively managing their community's arterial streets.
SMART-Signal fills this gap. The tool, which stands for "systematic monitoring of arterial road traffic signals," simultaneously collects event-based high-resolution data from multiple intersections and generates real-time performance measures such as queue length and travel time. By laying the groundwork for better modeling and control strategies, the tool opens new opportunities for managing flows on congested roads.
The tool archives and stores a complete history of signal control, including all vehicle actuation and signal phase change events. An industrial PC with a data acquisition card is installed in the controller cabinet at each intersection, and event data are transmitted to the server in real-time via an Ethernet connection.
The tool uses a newly developed algorithmic approach to queue length estimation based on traffic shockwave theory. Cyclic shockwaves at an intersection can be reconstructed using event-based data, allowing for queue length estimation even when the queue of cars extends beyond the upstream vehicle detector. To measure travel time, the tool simulates the movements of a virtual "probe vehicle" along the road. As the virtual probe moves, it can modify its own state in response to the state of traffic around it by accelerating, decelerating, or maintaining a constant speed at each time step as it encounters queues, signals, and changes in density.
The tool also can optimize signal parameters using the collected high-resolution data. Instead of relying on traditional offset optimization approaches, which are based on manually collected volume data on a typical day, the tool accounts for flow variations by using archived signal data and the derived performance measures.
SMART-Signal's been field-tested on three major arterial corridors in Minnesota, and the state DOT will use it to monitor 100 intersections in the Twin Cities. A demonstration project is also being carried out on Orange Grove Boulevard in Pasadena, Calif. PW
