NISCA (Network Interface Statistics Collection Agent) is a more flexible PHP4-based MRTG replacement. It supports both SNMP and reading localhost's /proc/net/dev device file directly for statistics gathering. It uses MySQL to store collected data in, and stores statistics for bytes transferred, packets transferred, transfer errors, and dropped packets separated into a per interface incoming and outgoing set. It generates both graphs and a textual report table using the data from any timeframe contained in the database. The entire package runs using PHP4; it uses the CGI binary version of PHP for stats collection (running in the background as a "daemon") and either the CGI or Apache module versions to generate the GUI form and reports. It can also import existing MRTG logfiles.
|Internet Log Analysis Networking Monitoring
|Operating Systems
Release Notes: "95th-percentile" data massaging and the ability to make the text-only reports "time-zoomable" (the same way the graphs are) were added. A few minor bugfixes were also made.
Release Notes: Everything wrong with versions 2.3 and 2.3.1 was fixed. The look and feel was made more attractive and easier to customize.
Release Notes: The PHP SNMP functions were replaced with calls to the snmpwalk and snmpget binaries from the ucd-snmp package. Graphs are now image maps that allow zooming into a time range with one click. The SNMP collector completely rewritten and can now cache collected stats if the database connection is lost. Watermarks of any kind can be added to graph images, and a few bugfixes were made.
Release Notes: This release includes support for multiple-interface total bytes transferred graphing, a data re-averaging utility, multiple interface naming methods ("ifIndex", "ifPhysAddress", etc), a Committed Information Rate line to graphs, aliases for hosts, and one or two bugfixes.
Release Notes: Minor bug fixes were made. Context-sensitive help is now available on all pages that need it. The database was restructured, resulting in a 44% smaller database and much faster report generation. New features include the ability to generate graphs as PNG or JPEG, and the ability to use 64-bit counters on some interfaces but not others on the same host.
Great package!!
Just wanted to add my 2cents. This is an excellent product! I highly recommend it. If/When we get to see 3.0 it is going to be even better!!
Re: MRTG Import Script
Well done Brett!
I use it...
well, 2.0 it's finally out.
Please test it on a fast mysql server, I need to understand
if it's my machine that's too slow of if we need some more
work to better support large networks.
Support for 64 bits counters is there but you need to recompile
your php snmp library. Blame php developers, not Brett on this. I use it with Cisco routers and it works well.
MRTG Import Script
There is now a script available for NISCA that will import data from MRTG logfiles. Come 'n' get it! :)
A Fluent OpenStack client API for Java.
A TWiki appliance that is easy to use and lightweight.

Mansfield Vacation Packages
From Mansfield, it's about 65 miles (105 kilometers) to the northeast to Cleveland and 110 miles (177 kilometers) to the north to Detroit.
While it may be tempting to simply sit back and relax while holidaying in Mansfield, don't forget, the surrounding region's many natural sights, cities and towns await. Examples of places within a relatively short distance of Mansfield are Fredericktown, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the north, and Mount Gilead, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the northeast.
While you are here in Mansfield, don't forget to spend a few hours exploring Sandusky. Approximately 50 miles (80 kilometers) away, this regional city is home to Huron Country Fairgrounds, Miami Park and Norwalk Reservoir. Summit Motor Sports Park, Rain Water Park Complex and Cedar Point are also good spots for a visit before returning to Mansfield.
To get a real sense of the present, it often pays to understand the past. Northeast Ohio's colorful traditional villages provide a wonderful starting point.
The Mansfield region is a good place to visit to get into the great outdoors and feel winter's cold embrace. When temperatures drop, grab your mittens and scarf and try cross-country skiing and snow shoeing. If you think the ideal break is pushing yourself to the limit in unique natural environments, then sign up for one of the many hiking and horse riding excursions this region has to offer.
Sadly, vacations can't last forever, so when it's time fly home, you'll find the nearest major airport in Columbus, 55 miles (89 kilometers) away.

Consumer Protection Law
Consumer Protection Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hello there
Can you tell me what state you are in ?
Hello again Dan --
The Federal Moss Magnusson ACT is applicable in all states for lemon law claims on new cars. Because you purchased it new less than 12 months ago, you have a lot of leverage regarding the lemon law in Illinois. For the lemon law on new cars to be applicable, the problems must (A) substantially affect the use, safety or market value of the car OR (A) the dealer has attempted to repair it four or more times in the first year or first 12K miles OR (C) it has been completely out of service for a period of more than 30 days in the first year. From what you have described to me above, you will easily meet the repair requirements or the market value requirement because the paint issues in a brand new vehicle like yours, unless they strip it and completely paint it from scratch, will impact the market value of the auto (I actually had the same thing happen on a new plymouth acclaim in the late 1980's).
Now, in order to take advantage of the lemon law in Illinois, you can do one of two things: (A) when you purchased the car they should have given you a packet with information -- each manufacturer must participate in an arbitration program -- if they did not give you the info on how to participate when you bought the car, you should call the Jeep headquarters and ask for the information and application forms for the arbitration program to be mailed to you (while you may think it is biased, I actually won my own lemon law arbitration with the chrylser in 1990), or (B) you can contact an attorney in Illinois who specifically handles these claims. The lemon law itself provides for the payment of attorneys fees but they must be reasonable and there is a limit (the lemon law attorney will know what it is in your state), I searched around in Illinois and found a firm that seems to handle and refer out such cases in your area -- here is the link -- http://www.illinoislemonlaw.com/ You can also call your local county bar association and tell them that you would like a referral to a local lemon law attorney specialist. They will give you several names and you can go from there.
I hope that helps -- Best of Luck !!
Please press the 3rd, 4th or 5th smile face below so I will be paid for my time in assisting you today. I am paid NOTHING unless you press a positive rating below. Pressing the 3rd, 4th or 5th smile face below will NOT cost you any additional money -- it simply acts as the trigger to Just Answer to pay me for my time. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!

The Minnesota Vikings announced Monday that running back Adrian Peterson will return to practices and meetings this week and is expected to play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
Peterson was deactivated for the Vikings' Week 2 game against the New England Patriots after he was indicted by a grand jury on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child. Peterson was charged with one count of injury to a child and could be sentenced to as many as two years in state jail as well as a $10,000 fine. Probation is an option too.
"To be clear, we take very seriously any matter that involves the welfare of a child. At this time, however, we believe this is a matter of due process and we should allow the legal system to proceed so we can come to the most effective conclusions and then determine the appropriate course of action."
- Vikings owners Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf
According to law-enforcement sources, the Minnesota Vikings running back beat his 4-year-old son with a tree branch. The beating resulted in multiple injuries to the child including cuts and bruises to the back, buttocks, ankles, legs and scrotum, along with defensive wounds to the child's hands.
Peterson then texted the boy's mother, saying that one wound in particular would make her "mad at me about his leg. I got kinda good wit the tail end of the switch. Got him in nuts once I noticed. But I felt so bad, n I'm all tearing that butt up when needed! I start putting them in timeout. N save the whooping for needed memories!"
Hall of Fame receiver and ESPN analyst Cris Carter made a passionate speech about disciplining children and relating it to his own childhood on Sunday.
"This goes across all racial lines, ethnicity… People believe in disciplining their children," Carter said on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown. "People with any kind of Christian background they really believe in disciplining their children."
Carter related the story to his mother, who raised seven children by herself. "My mom did the best that she could do … But there are thousands of things that I have learned since then that my mom was wrong.
"This is the 21st century; my mom was wrong… And I promise my kids I won't teach that mess to them. You can't beat a kid to make them do what you want them to do."
Carter got increasingly emotional and his voice became passionate.
"The only thing I'm proud about is the team that I played for they did the right thing," he said of the Vikings.
Uh oh. Time for another speech by Carter.

Join as a member. There's a certificate with your name on it.
I have only noticed this with webform nodes, and not every time I export one. Certain webform nodes when exported will have a vid field that is equal to the vid in the source export array.
This causes the node to be wholely in the database. But it causes the node_load function to return false which produces a 404 when you try to view or edit the node.
For instance the vid on my dev system is 11599. It gets export to my staging system and a new vid is created, we'll say 15221. Instead of the vid column in the node table being set to 15221 it is set to the vid of 11599 which does not exist on my staging system. Resulting in the node_load function returning false.
This query will repair the node which is my current workaround.
UPDATE node n
LEFT JOIN node_revisions r ON r.vid = n.vid
LEFT JOIN node_revisions cr ON cr.nid = n.nid
SET n.vid = cr.vid
WHERE r.vid IS NULL;
My current relevant stack is:
- Webform 6.x-3.18
- Universally Unique IDentifier 6.x-1.0-rc2
- Node export 6.x-3.4
- Revisioning 6.x-3.15
Comment #1unknownguy CreditAttribution: unknownguy commented
I've experienced the same problem, in my case the vid changes due to this node_save()
function node_export_relation_node_reference_update($nodes) {
foreach ($nodes as $node) {
$uuid[$node->uuid] = $node->nid;
foreach ($nodes as $node) {
$node_reference_fields = node_export_relation_node_reference_fields($node->type);
if (!empty($node_reference_fields)) {
foreach ($node_reference_fields as $node_reference_field) {
if (!empty($node->$node_reference_field)) {
foreach ($node->$node_reference_field as $key => $node_reference) {
if (!empty($node_reference['nid'])) {
$node_uuid = node_export_relation_node_reference_map($node_reference['nid']);
$node->{$node_reference_field}[$key] = array('nid' => $uuid[$node_uuid]);
Replacing "node_save" by "drupal_write_record('node', $node, 'nid');" fixes the problem for me.
Comment #2unknownguy CreditAttribution: unknownguy commented
Sorry I was wrong, in my case the culprit was the module "revisioning" which was resettings the vid column in the node table when nodeapi op = update

Miles will combine with four-star prospect Se'Von Pittman as bookend defensive ends for Canton McKinley this season, and head coach Ron Johnson is high on his youngster.
"Just like we told you about Stevie and Se'Von as sophomores, you need to need keep a close watch on Antoine Miles," Johnson stressed. "He played a little bit last year when Stevie was injured, and he did really well. He will be the starter this season, and I look for the same production we got from the other two. Antoine has the same ceiling as Se'Von or Stevie."
Those are certainly big shoes to fill, but Miles appears to be mentally ready to accept that challenge. There isn't much doubt he is physically ready.
"I think I played well last year when Steve was hurt, because I had all week to prepare," Miles stated. "Steve and Se'Von were in my head all week getting me ready to go, and I played as hard as I could because I didn't want to let those guys down."
"I was nervous when I first got out there, but I settled down and gave it all I had," he added. "We won the game against Boardman, and that's all I care about. They kept telling me my time was now, and I followed exactly what my coaches told me to do."
With Miller now departed, having taken his talents to Ohio State, Miles knows he has a great opportunity before him.
"With Steve gone, I know I need to uphold the tradition of Canton McKinley," he admitted. "These two guys have taken me under their wings, and they are like big brothers to me. Hard work is all I know, because they've taught me so much and they're my role models."
"I want to play college football some day, but I don't really have a favorite school," he continued. "I want to play well enough to earn that type of attention, like Steve and Se'Von have. If I'm lucky enough to be recruited by schools like Ohio State or Michigan, I would consider it a blessing."

Magic City(2012)
A novel by Michael Dean
Magic City is a comedy of errors set in West Germany in 1971. Marcus Himmelfahrt, unable to come to terms with his Jewish heritage and his sexual impotence, has no idea what to do with his life. He takes a job as an English teacher in Ludwigsburg, the Magic City of the title, intending to re-invent himself under a false name. On day one, he does something he shouldn't in a graveyard and the police are called. His personal habits repeatedly upset his highly strung landlord. He is nevertheless a hit at the language school, and fast establishes a reputation as a ladies' man. But can he live up to it? Meanwhile, as he wanders around unaware in dreamy innocence, he is framed, followed and shot at. He finally finds love only to be wrongly accused of rampant womanising. Against a background of retribution against a former Nazi and a robbery by the Baader-Meinhof gang, our still oblivious hero is hunted by drug dealers, by his terrifying employer, and by both the East and West German intelligence services. As the forces against him gain momentum and menace, even the Magic City may not be enough to save him.

Shrimp is one of the 10 most consumed types of fish and shellfish in the United States, as well as one of the types of seafood that is lowest in mercury. It provides significant amounts of a number of vitamins and minerals but is low in fat and calories. Shrimp does contain relatively high amounts of sodium and cholesterol, however, so you may want to eat other types of low-mercury seafood more often.
Calories and Macronutrients
A 3-ounce serving of shrimp cooked in moist heat, or about 16 large shrimp, contains 101 calories, 19.4 grams of protein, 1.3 grams of carbohydrates and 1.5 grams of fat, including 0.4 gram of saturated fat. This serving of shrimp also provides 255 milligrams of essential omega-3 fats. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends getting at least 500 milligrams of the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA, the types found in seafood, per day. These fats help promote heart health and healthy brain development. Avoid breaded and fried shrimp, as the same amount contains 206 calories and 10.4 grams of fat.
Vitamin Content
You'll get 24 percent of the daily value for vitamin B-12, 11 percent of the DV for niacin and 10 percent of the DV for vitamin B-6 when you eat a 3-ounce serving of shrimp. You need vitamin B-12 for forming DNA and red blood cells. Niacin helps turn the food you eat into energy, and vitamin B-6 is important for proper immune system and nervous system function.
Mineral Makeup
Each 3-ounce serving of cooked shrimp has 60 percent of the DV for selenium, 26 percent of the DV for phosphorus and 11 percent of the DV for copper. Selenium is necessary for producing DNA and proper immune function. You need phosphorus for forming bones and storing energy, and copper is important for forming red blood cells and keeping your bones healthy.
Sodium and Cholesterol Considerations
Shrimp is high in sodium, with each 3-ounce serving providing 805 milligrams, or 34 percent of the DV. Most Americans already get too much sodium from their diet, which increases the risk for high blood pressure. Although saturated fat is more responsible for increases in blood cholesterol levels than dietary cholesterol is, cholesterol from food can still increase your cholesterol levels. Each serving of shrimp contains 179 milligrams of cholesterol, or 60 percent of the DV. Limit other high-cholesterol foods you eat on days when you eat shrimp so you don't end up getting too much cholesterol.

from Zero Hedge:
Matthias Fekl, cited by the WSJ, said on French radio that "France no longer politically supports these negotiations," adding that "The Americans are giving us nothing. This is not how allies should be negotiating." Fekl said he would ask the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, at a meeting of trade ministers late September to end negotiations over the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, generally known as TTIP. The Commission leads talks with the U.S. for the EU.
"There should be an absolute clear end so that we can restart them on good basis," he said on RMC Radio, adding he would suggest that course to fellow ministers.
Fekl echoed the position of Germany's econ minister Gabriel who said on Sunday that TTIP negotiations had effectively failed after Europe refused to accept some U.S. demands. Gabriel is the chairman of Germany's Social Democrats (SPD), who share power with Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives.
While many German Social Democrats have serious reservations about TTIP but Merkel backs the talks: her spokesman insisted on Monday that talks should continue, while Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier – also a member of the SPD – said on Tuesday that both sides were still far away from agreeing on standards and procedures.
However, with the French veto it seems that Merkel is now out of luck.
Fekl's comments show how skepticism of trade deals is surging on both sides of the Atlantic. In the U.S., President Barack Obama faces a tough battle in Congress to pass another major trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Donald Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders bolstered their support during the presidential race by strongly opposing trade deals, putting pressure on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to adopt a more skeptical stance on trade.
In Europe, politicians in the bloc's biggest economic powers, France and Germany, find themselves under fire for supporting negotiations with the U.S. Marine Le Pen, the head of France's right-wing National Front party, has repeatedly attacked President François Hollande for backing the talks.
Three years of TTIP negotiations have failed to resolve multiple differences, including over food and environmental safety, but the USTR's spokesman told German magazine Der Spiegel the negotiations "are in fact making steady progress". The deal is expected to eliminate almost all tariffs and reduce regulatory red tape that acts to limit trade, establishing what would effectively be a vast, trans-Atlanic free-trade zone. But fears have persisted in Europe that the deal will require the region to accept U.S.-backed technologies, such as biotech crops, that the region opposes.

The County works closely with the SCDOT, RFATS (Rock Hill/Fort Mill Regional Transportation group) and our State/Federal elected officials. Although the County has maximized the amount of State/Federal dollars received, the simple fact is that the State System is underfunded and there is no legislative relief in sight. To preserve the quality of life in York County, it is imperative that safe and efficient roadways also exist on the State System. Therefore, the County is continuing its efforts through the Pennies for Progress Program to help fund over $500 million in state maintained roadway improvements and feel confident that we can continue to use this funding as leverage to accelerate state roadway projects in our County.
The motoring public does not make a distinction between State and County Roads. They only know the route they are traveling on is congested and/or unsafe. If State Roads are not improved, vehicles then move to County and Local roads thereby in many cases creating "cut-through" traffic in our neighborhoods.
Q: How long will we pay this tax?
A: Since the tax for the 1997 and 2003 Programs has expired, the tax for the 2011 Program is now being collected. The 2011 tax will be collected for no more than seven years and is currently set to expire on April 30, 2018. This expiration date was submitted to the Department of Revenue as the County's expected expiration and we are awaiting their confirmation.
Q: What happens if the 2011 Pennies for Progress Program tax generates more than the $160 million needed for the road projects?
A: The law that governs the Capital Projects Sales and Use Tax requires the tax remain for a specific period of time. In the event the revenues for this predetermined time period exceed that estimated revenues for the program the excess funding would first be used to complete projects from the sales tax program. If there is still money left the second option for the excess funding would be to fund projects from any new sales tax programs that may have been implemented. If there is still excess funding after these options it would go towards the County's general fund.
Q: What happens if the 2011 Pennies for Progress Program tax does not generate enough money for the road projects within seven years?
A: No matter what, the Capital Projects Sales Tax will end in seven years. The projects listed are in priority order. Any work not funded at the end of seven years would not be completed. Other funding sources would have to be identified.
Q: Can the money generated by the tax be spent on anything other than roads listed on the ballot?
A: No. This is a county tax and not a state tax. As a result, all of the money collected will stay in York County and can only be spent on the road projects listed on the ballot.
Q: What if I don't trust politicians? Should I suspect that they will try to find some way to keep collecting the penny?
A: No, you can have confidence that it just cannot be done. No elected official, or any governing body can legally take any action that could extend this tax.
Q: Who determined what projects will get done?
A: A citizen's commission made up of residents from Clover/Lake Wylie, Fort Mill/Tega Cay, Rock Hill and York developed the proposed list of projects.
Q: Is this something the County Council can do regardless of the outcome of any public vote?
A: No. The only way that this penny for roads program can be established is through a public referendum, approved by York County voters. The County Council's only authority is to put the question on the ballot to give everyone a chance to decide if the projects should be funded.
Q: Who will pay the tax?
A: Anyone purchasing goods in York County will help fund the road work. A significant portion of the money will come from people who live outside York County. People from other places who visit, work or purchase goods and services in York County will help to contribute money to our roads through the tax. In the Pennies-3 Program a change in the state law exempted non-prepared foods from the one percent sales tax.
Q: Will this increase the amount of sales tax I have to pay on large ticket items such as an automobile?
A: No, this will have no impact on any item that is currently covered by the maximum sales tax cap of $300.
Q: Will this change the way any other exempt sales items are taxed?
A: No, if the item is currently exempt from sales tax, it will continue to be exempt.
Q: What happens if the tax doesn't pass?
A: Many of these projects won't be completed in the foreseeable future, and roads will continue to be congested and unsafe.

Patch is in upstream binutils CVS[1]. You'll need additional gcc changes to pass as --fix-v4bx and ld --fix-v4bx-interworking. SUBTARGET_EXTRA_ASM_SPEC and LINK_SPEC in gcc/config/arm/bpabi.h should do the trick. I recommend configuring the toolchain for ARMv4t, and relying on the assembler/linker to fix things up. Configuring for ARMv4 may cause some hand written assembly in glibc/libgcc to incorrectly disable interworking. I have not measured performance overhead. My guess is that branch prediction on modern cores probably folds the additional branch. There is some scope for having gcc inline the veneers. This will probably improve performance at the expense of code size. Paul [1] http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2008-02/msg00196.html

We have seen many forms of the so-called piss contest and it appears that this is the most unintelligent one, since there is literally no need to battle whose mower is better at rope pulling but if intellect is what spurred most of the pissing contests no video like this masterpiece would have been created and the internet, and we for that matter would have been poorer for it.

Dear Mary Kay,
Oh how I miss the fun times we had when you all lived in Frenchman's Creek. What a beautiful, intelligent and fun couple you two were! Bob was an amazing man and you two were a great team! My heart goes out to you and all of your friends and family...

I feel so fortunate to have had Bob as a friend over the past 20 years. I always felt honored and special to be in his company. I always kidded him, he was my Clint Eastwood of the business world___that fearless hero we all love. I will miss my visits with him, sharing his love of golf and the beauty of the courses at Vintage. He was a special human being.
My love to Mary Kay.

To be honest our expectations of the resort were not that high. We were looking specifically to go some place different, with some interesting things to see off the resort. It did exceed our expectations.
The resort is only about 2 years old. This was nice because the facilities are still new and in good working order. The only downside is that the palm trees are still small for shade, and the staff are still in the learning stage. You can tell that tourism is still a relatively new thing in this area because aside from the front desk staff not many spoke english. However, they are all very nice and friendly. If it was a person pouring water at dinner the extent of their English was " Water...yes?". We met a couple who had been here one year earlier and they commented on how much improvement they had noticed in the service. Approximately half the people on the resort were from Colombia or other parts of South America which may explain this.
Rooms - They were very clean with nice duvets. The air conditioning controls seemed to vary by room. In our room the highest we could set it was 20 degrees Celsius which was a bit chilly. Since we were on a ground floor we did not feel comfortable leaving our patio door open which would have been preferable as the evening temperature is nice. I would recommend getting a room on the second or third floor so you can do this as the breezes at night are nice. We had the odd geko in the room which did not bother me.
Food - The food was very good. In fact, I would say it was better than two other Occidental resorts we have stayed at. There was always a nice selection of fruits and vegetables. There was typically a rice dish at every dinner with a selection of two or more meats plus various cooked vegetables and other goodies. Fish was very common and well prepared. The food changed everyday so I did not tire of it.
Restaurants - Since the resort seemed to be half full at best we had no issue booking the restaurants. The "Grill" is an outside restaurant where you can order a selection of grilled meats like ribs, steak skewers, etc. You could not order a good North American style steak which was a bit disappointing. However, it was ok. The Italian restaurant is really not a restaurant at all. It is also an outside oven that any can walk up to and order a pizza or lasagna. Both were excellent. The last restaurant, and the only one inside, is more of a fine dining experience. The menu changes nightly. We had oriental one night and Peruvian food another night we were there. Again, it was good but not excellent. The salad bar and deserts were identical to what you could get at the buffet so where was nothing special there.
Pools - It is nice that they have two pools...a "quiet pool" and "activity pool". The quiet pool was nice and quiet. Again, since the resort was only half full getting a lounger was not a problem. The activity pool really did not have much in the way of activities. A spinning class at the edge of the pool in the morning, the odd pool exercise session for the old folks and that was it. Essentially the only real difference was that they had music going all day which ranged from Bob Marley, Spanish music or American top 40 hits sung in Spanish which was funny. There is a bar at the quiet pool but you have to get your own drinks. The pool waiter just sat with the bar tender all day and talked and never asked if you wanted anything. At the activity pool there was also no service at all. If you wanted a drink you needed to walk to the bar yourself (not far) and get it yourself. This was a good example of the staff still needing to learn North American service expectations.
Beach - The water is about 150 meters from the resort. A very short walk down. It is a darker sand so it does get hot. There are no trees down by the beach at all. They have these small shelters built that you can lay under and they work fine. The water is not clear because there is a river not far that empties into the Caribbean, and constant waves which clouds the water. The water is a great temperature. It was windy every day by the beach which was a bit annoying. One evening it was really windy and the water came close to the resort and washed away many of the shelters they had set up. Another day there was a farmer who was moving his cattle from one pasture to another and I guess the beach was the quickest way to get them there. All of a sudden there was cattle everywhere but they moved on quickly. That was interesting and a testament that the area is still being built up for tourism. There is also a small fishing village about a 10 minute walk down the beach. Not much to see really but very local.
Cartagena (Old City) - This is likely one of the main reasons why you would choose this destination. The tour company offers a half day tour of the new and old city which I highly recommend. They show you around and you see Fort Catagena, the Monastery and a walking tour of the walled city (old Cartagena). It is well worth it and gives you a chance to scope out things to come back to during your stay. The hotel has a shuttle bus that goes back and forth from the resort to the Old City from 8am to 12:30am each day which makes things so easy. However, you need to book the shuttle in advance. A cab is only about $20 USD if you want. The Old City is very safe and beautiful architecture. We walked for hours, did a few museums (Historical Museun and Inquisition Museum), visited the various squares, walked on top of the wall that surrounds the city, shopped and ate. The food is one of the best parts. There are many great restaurants and the prices are reasonable. I can honestly say it was perhaps some of the best food I have ever eaten. You can eat like a king and have a bottle of very nice wine for $30 to $50 per person.
In the city of Cartagena itself most shop staff spoke no English (which makes bartering a challenge). The street vendors and restaurant staff spoke enough to get by with you. Even in the museums very little was in English so you can pay for an English guide who will give you the museum tour in English. Emeralds are the big thing here as they are mined close by. There are A LOT of emerald jewelry stores but know your prices before you go. Everything is on a barter system so you have to know something about emeralds and their costs to know if you are getting a good deal or not. Just remember that everything you buy outside of a restaurant is negotiable (clothing, tour guides, jewelry, taxi, etc). If you know basic numbers in Spanish it is a big help.
Other Tours - We did not do any but we spoke to people who did. The general consensus was that they were not worth taking. Mud bath at the volcano (Colombian men in the mud bath with you offering to give you a "massage", and women when you get out wanting to help wash the mud off you...all for money...disturbing was the consensus. There is a boat trip to an island with a "white sandy beach and coal reef". The people said the beach was not white and there was very little see in the water. The shopping trip to four towns seemed to be a big disappointment for everyone. It was 12 hours on a bus and the stuff being sold in every town was exactly the same...hammocks and bags. There was a bit of history and they said the lunch was very good...but not worth the money and 12 hours of travel. This tours is the one thing they really need to work on at this destination. However, the Old City makes up for a lot and you can go there a few times before you are bored. This is really the main attraction.
Overall, my wife and I enjoyed ourselves but would likely not go back. It is really a 3 star resort and I think our expectations where in line with what we paid. Once you have seen the Old City there is really no reason to go back unless you are ok with hanging out on the resort all day. We had a good time, met some really nice people, ate well and learned a great deal about a real gem of a city.

I'm sure that placing and naming of this functionality is wrong, but as long as I can't contribute, I'll shut up - free to add it. But the more serious issue is that xsp-session logicsheet belongs to the core Cocoon - as Session object itself is, which is not the case with the session framework aka sunShine (sunRise?). Please move session logicsheet back, it breaks existing Cocoon applications using session logicsheet only and introduces unnecessary dependency. Regarding XSPSessionHelper: it was introduced (recentlly) to decouple session from Request helper. Intent was to *deprecate* session-related functionality from request helper and request logicsheet and phase-out this eventually.

Coffee Talk: Toni Braxton Files for Bankruptcy, Again
Here's your hot coffee talk to jump-start your Thursday morning! Beyonce surprises everyone as the last model on Tina Knowles' "Today Show" runway show -- cute stuff. After several months of speculation, Gary Coleman's death has been ruled an accident. Toni Braxton is in trouble again -- sadly, today is her birthday and we have to report that she's filing for bankruptcy, again. This time she may owe as much as $50 million. The list of companies and business she owes money to is quite interesting, take a look. Why do you think so many celebs have money troubles if they make serious coin? Here's what you had to say: Pam commented via Facebook: "I feel for her, but at the same time, I think it's senseless." Cyd wrote via Facebook: "Wow. Sounds like there's some serious mismanagement going on with Toni."

Looks good- but what's with the bathtub?
Thanks guys,
The ostridge is our new forman Bill...Yeah the homeowner had a little money to spend on the project it is going to turn out very nice... The bath tub was a pond in the yard before we started, alot of the existing landscaping was removed and going to be updated after we are finished construction of the fence...Oh btw the tub is free for the taking if anyone is interested!
Nice work!
Fence looks great

Spiced Indian Cabbage
READY IN: 20mins
Recipe by Sana7149
A simple everyday vegetable. Adjust the spices to your taste
Top Review by herroyalhighnessamy
This is probably the best thing I have ever made. I tasted a bit at the end just to see if it needed anything and ended up consuming most it while it was still cooking. I doubled up on all the spices. I used some of the leftover cabbage in an omelet and it was great.

Aimei, Cici, Sha and Wang stood at the entrance to the Cave of Two Lovers. Currently the only way to get to Omashu by foot was to travel through the Cave of Two Lovers. However, some said it was cursed and you could only travel through the cave if you carried love. Years and years ago, Avatar Aang and his friends travelled through the cave safely, and now Aimei had to do the same.
"This cave is cursed, isn't it?" Sha asked.
"Yes, they say the cave is cursed and can only be travelled through if you had true love," Wang explained.
"Seriously? You believe that?" Cici asked.
"It's actually true, Cici," Aimei said. "You should study your history around the the time of Aang."
"So how are we supposed to get across?" Cici bewilderedly asked.
"Don't worry, Cici, we'll find a way," Aimei said.
The four started to head into the cave, Aimei leading the way. She first entered the cave with the others behind her. Inside, the cave was dark and pitch black; none of them could see a thing. Aimei lit a small flame in her hand, giving them a small yet effective source of light. The cave lit up and revealed what looked like a labyrinth. There was a main, huge tunnel with loads of mini side tunnels. It was dark and gloomy and rocks were everywhere. The exit to Omashu was obviously connected to one of the secondary tunnels as you could see if you had great vision that the main tunnel was blocked off with a wall. However, it was known that the secondary tunnels also had even smaller forks in them... it was almost impossible to get out to Omashu. The tunnels twisted and turned, like a labyrinth.
"Where should we start?" Wang asked.
"We should split up," Aimei replied.
"What? No!" Cici protested. "We'll get separated or lost!"
"Well, what do you want to do?" Aimei replied.
"This place is a labyrinth full of dangerous creatures! We need to keep together and protect each other!" Cici said.
Before anything else could happen, a swarm of angry wolfbats emerged from a tunnel and surrounded the four friends.
"What's happening?" Sha yelled in the confusion.
"We must have disturbed the peace and quiet!" Wang replied.
The four had no other choice but to fight the wolfbats slowly. There was no water, which pretty much made Cici useless. However, it was a different case for the others. Sha summoned his earthbending and caused all the nearby stalactites to collapse around the wolfbats. Aimei generated her lightning and spun it in a circle, frying several wolfbats and Wang created tornadoes, causing the wolfbats to get trapped in them. As they were defeating the last of the wolfbats, the wolfbats knew they couldn't win. So, they grabbed Cici and flew off with her, leaving the other three alone. Aimei chased after the wolfbats and Cici who was screaming her head off, but it was no use... the wolfbats were too quick.
"ARGH!" Aimei yelled in frustration.
"Don't worry, we'll find a way to rescue, Cici," Sha calmed Aimei.
"But how?" Aimei said. "This place is a labyrinth! It's cursed, for Heaven's sake!"
As they were, speaking, the cave began to rumble extremely loudly. The whole place was quaking as if it was about to crumble to pieces.
"It must be badgermoles!" Aimei warned.
Anxious to get away from the badgermoles, the three began to run towards the nearest tunnel. However, the badgermoles emerged from a nearby tunnel and startled the group with a large boulder. Aimei and Sha quickly fled into the nearest tunnel but Wang tore apart from his friends in an attempt to dodge the boulder. As he swerved away, he swerved away from the tunnel and closer to a different tunnel. Hoping to get away from the tunnel, he quickly ran into the other tunnel, away from Aimei and Sha. He had gotten used to the darkness by now. Wang found himself walking down a dark tunnel. As he began walking, he heard noises that sounded like chitters. He noticed the noise was coming from above so he looked up and found... wolfbats. Everywhere. Wang had found the lair of the wolfbats, which could only mean one thing: Cici was nearby. Wang continued walking down the tunnel, trying to ignore the wolfbats hovering in the air above him although it was awfully hard. The wolfbats began their chitters and they circled around Wang. Wang just pushed away the annoying noises. He continued walking down the dark tunnel, further and further and further inwards. Wang had to do it though; he had to save Cici. Secretly, he had a deep secret he had never ever told anyone, not even Sha who was his best friend. Secretly, he had a huge crush on Cici. As Wang kept on walking, he came to a fork... and only one could have Cici. He looked at the one on the right hesitantly and set off for the tunnel on the right. He walked until he came to a dead end with a nest of wolfbats... and no Cici. One second passed... then two... then three... then, the wolfbats attacked. They flung themselves at Wang, gnarling, biting and scratching him in any way possible. Wang tried to fight them off but there were just too many. He tried shrugging the wolfbats stuck to his shoulders off but they hung on with their talons. Then he bent air at the other wolfbats, a blast here, a whirlwind there. He propelled himself with air and fled out of that end of the tunnel at high speed while the wolfbats tailed him all the way. He gave on final, colossal blow of wind that sent all the wolfbats down the tunnel and back to their nest. Now, Wang found himself in the same fork... but know he knew to take the left path. He started to wander down the path on the left and found skeletons on the ground. Wang shuddered. People must have died trying to get across the Cave of Two Lovers. The left path was extremely long and Wang thought he had almost walked a kilometre. Eventually, he came to the end of the tunnel, where he found Cici. She was unconscious and surrounded by six large wolfbats. The wolfbats snarled with their ugly, wolf-like faces. They extended their big, bat wings and flew towards Wang. Wang dodged the first wolfbat and trapped it in a ball of air. For the second wolfbat, Wang slowly pulled all the air out of the wolfbat's lungs and trapped in a ball of air around the wolfbat... this technique was called asphyxiation. However, the other wolfbats would not remain calm and still while Wang bent the air out of their fellow's lungs. They lunged at Wang, and he quickly made the ball of air dissipate, leaving the wolfbat to suffocate and die. The next wolfbat gives Wang a small bite on the shoulder, which stung painfully. Wang immediately jerked his shoulder, making the wolfbat fly off and smack against the wall, leaving a dent. The next wolfbat started to back off, but Wang bent the air around it so the wolfbat was pushed right into the other two. Because they were all so large, they simply just bashed into each other and collapsed. Wang hurried over to Cici, who was just beginning to awaken.
"W-what happened?" Cici asked in a daze.
"You were taken by wolfbats," Wang replied. "But I wasn't going to let them keep you."
Cici blushed. "You saved me. Thank you."
"I would do anything for you," Wang said.
And ever so slowly, Cici leaned in towards Wang... towards his lips. Their lips were ten centimetres apart... four... three... two... one... zero. Cici and Wang were passionately kissing like the rest of the world meant nothing to me. Suddenly, all Cici could think about was Wang and all Wang could think about was Cici. As they were kissing, blue crystals lit up one by one, showing them the way out. And slowly, the two lovers walked out of the Cave of Two Lovers, guided by the blue crystals.
Meanwhile, Aimei and Sha were in the other tunnel.
"Where did Wang go?" Sha asked.
"He must've ended up in some other tunnel," Aimei replied. "We should keep walking down this tunnel and see where it leads us."
The two of them walked down the tunnel, but it came to a dead end.
Sha sighed in dismay. "There's nothing here and I'm really hungry and tired."
"Me too," Aimei agreed. "But we're going to have to find our way out before we can even think about food or shelter."
"You know, I've always had feelings for you," Sha said.
Aimei was taken aback; it was just so sudden. "W-w-w-w-what do you mean 'feelings'? This really isn't the right place or time!"
"Yes, it is!" Sha protested. "We're in the Cave of Two Lovers! The only way we can get out of here is with love! You've always known I've had feelings for you!"
"And maybe I return those feelings... a bit," Aimei shyly replied.
Before the two of them knew it, they were kissing, just like Cici and Wang. They did have feelings for each other, they just both never realised it. Suddenly, a blue crystal lit up; then another; two more; three more and soon the whole tunnel was lit with crystals.
"Maybe I do love you," Aimei whispered.
The two of them held hands and followed the blue crystals, which led them to the end of the tunnel. They emerged into the sunlight, which they were all happy to see. There they found Cici and Wang waiting for them.
"You made it!" Cici said and gave Aimei a friendly hug.
Aimei was happy to see her friend again. "How did you escape?"
"Wang saved me!" Cici replied.
"Guys... there is something you should see..." Sha nervously said.
The other three spun their heads in his direction and saw the grand city of Omashu. However, earthbenders were racing down the tunnel by sliding on rock slabs, and they didn't seem too happy to see the four friends...

Poet Sandradene Walters Releases The Passages of Love
Blue Artists announces the publication of the latest book by Sandradene Walters, The Passages of Love.
On October 1, 2014, Blue Artists will release the latest work of author and poet Sandradene Walters with The Passages of Love. This book of poetry is the author's second work and includes many of her latest poems.
According to Walters, the poems in The Passages of Love chronicle her own search for meaning in life and the expression of her inner thoughts. She says, "Have you ever sat down and just watched a bird take flight and in secret wished that that was you? Well I've sat, looked and wished and now, after I've reconnected with my soul, I'm flying high with the release of my new book. I want my readers to not only travel as they read, but to rediscover their own indescribable passion for life and love."
Walters is a lifelong poet but has only recently begun to publish her material. She is also a member of several poetry groups in Washington, D.C. Her poems deal with the reality of life but also the fantasy inside everyone to go outside of their personal realities to seek dreams and goals. Her poetry has been described as "uplifting" and "meaningful," and speaks to a very wide audience of readers.
Her first book of poems, Unspoken Words, explored sensual, thought-provoking themes of the many season of love. Her poetry was enjoyed by lovers of all ages and for many readers defined themes and thoughts of passionate love. Now, The Passages of Love continues this journey and brings life to new themes of love and life.
The book will be available on amazon.com, sandradenewalters.com , and will be coming soon to popular retailers like Barnes and Noble.
About Sandradene Walters:
Sandradene Walters has been described as a poet of love, but there is much more to this incredible woman's work than casual sensuality. Walters, born in Jamaica but raised in the United States, is a working mother of three with a beautiful granddaughter. She has been a poet all her life but only recently began publishing her expressions. Her poetry speak to a large audience because she encompasses all ages and types of love in her expressions of her deepest feelings, emotions that all humans share.

Marczak cultivated multiple interests, careers
When Eric Marczak was a child, his father called him Mr. Smakosz, a Polish expression that means someone who enjoys tasting everything.
"Did he know me, or what?" said Marczak, whose appetite for life has led him to explore, experience and cultivate interests in playing music, making furniture, creating several styles of wooden and bone flutes, making Native American drums, teaching what he knows to children, restoring vintage guitars, making new guitars and more. Much more.
Marczak — his dark hair pulled back in a pony tail — said he has lived a couple of lives in his 62 years. An accomplished musician and award-winning woodworker, Marczak's work will be exhibited at the Northeastern Woodworkers Association showcase in Saratoga Springs next month.
Perhaps best known for his exquisitely made tables, guitars and turned bowls, Marczak's interest in woodworking was fostered by his father, who taught him how to use tools, and later by members of the woodworkers association who taught him "the tricks of the trade."
Marczak said that as he needed furniture, he made it. "I couldn't afford it, but I knew I could make it," he said.
His workshop is in the basement of his home on Beebe Road in Altamont. Wood pieces, chisels and carving tools line the walls and hang from the rafters. Works in progress include a sculpture inspired by his Vietnam service as a Navy hospital corpsman and hand-crafted guitars with carved bridges or intricate inlaid rosettes.
The creation of the rosettes show Marczak's affinity for detail. Each rosette is painstakingly created using slender sticks of basswood dyed in yellows, blues, browns and greens imported from Germany. It is puzzle-like in its construction.
"First I draw out the design on paper. Then I start to glue it together, stick by stick," he explained. Once the sticks — which are square with dimensions similar to a matchstick — are assembled, he slices thin layers — "like cutting cookies" — to create the many identical pieces that when laid side-by-side in a circle create the rosette. "Each rosette takes about 6 hours to make," he said.
Marczak enjoys fine work, not only in the musical instruments he makes but in the unusual tables he creates. For example, one table has two dragonflies on the top, carved from a variety of different woods. A table in his living room, made from California walnut, is reminiscent of master woodworker George Nakashima's work.
Marczak said that before he begins working with a piece of wood, he examines it, thinking, "what would be the best possible thing I can make [from this]?"
The woods he uses range from exotics from other continents to wood from local trees he felled himself. Some have history to him. "My children once climbed among the branches of the apple tree I used to make this," he said, holding a guitar. This small guitar is an exact replica of a 1889 Bruno guitar. "I copied every detail," Marczak said.
In his barn are stored planks of wood collected over the years, including pieces of lilac, plum, a cherry tree from Troy and a blue spruce tree he cut down in Glenville 35 years ago. He is glad he squirreled away many types of wood when he had the opportunity. "You can't just cut it down and use it. The wood has to dry," he explained.
Marczak has a few pieces of exotic woods — which were traditionally used in guitars. These woods have become rare and their use widely discouraged for environmental reasons.
A conservationist, Marczak is experimenting with using native species in guitar building. He explained that exotic woods aren't just desirable because of their incredible appearance but because of their sound: from a musician's point of view, the imported species are some of the best woods for creating the top of the guitar.
"It is in the way it vibrates," explained Marczak, a guitarist and keyboardist for more than 40 years. "The top is the most important part of the guitar. You can feel it as you are making it. Every guitar is different."
Marczak made his wife's guitar out of mountain ash, and the notes it produces are short and clear. Maple wood produces notes that are warm, and rosewood has a crisp sound. "It's like voices. There are voices like Pavarotti and then there are voices like Willie Nelson," he said.
One of his guitars — made from a California myrtle tree — was played in the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall by classical guitarist Harry George Pellegrin. "I can die happy now that one of my guitars was played there," Marczak said.
Another source of satisfaction for him is restoring old Martin guitars. He is currently working on a Martin from the 1950s that a friend's mother found at a garage sale.
"This little sweetheart is a great sounding guitar," he said with typical enthusiasm. When it was brought to him it was in pieces with caved-in sides. Marczak reconstructed the old guitar salvaging parts where he could and making new pieces as he needed. "It's a form of recycling," he said.
Marczak reuses wood as he can and wastes nothing. Scrap pieces are saved and made into cutting boards that are then sold at craft fairs. Some smaller scraps end up as kindling for the wood stove, but he also has given wood to young people interested in woodworking. "I try to keep their fire lit," he said. Part of this is his desire to pass along his passion for woodworking to the next generation, he said.
Marczak also has a longtime interest in Native American culture and has embraced teachings regarding caring for the earth. He collects arrowheads and artifacts and teaches what he knows at area schools with his wife of nine years, Dawn, who is of Mohawk descent.
In a buckskin bag, he keeps wooden and bone flutes, some of which he has made. On his wooden flutes he has carved fetishes and held them in place with leather strips.
In addition, he is interested in native plants and the ecology of the Capital Region.
Part of his personal vision was formed while he served in Vietnam from 1967 to 1971. Marczak was assigned to the burn unit. What he saw there has remained with him. "I looked at the big picture and my priorities changed," he said. "I began to appreciate what I had," he said.
After the war, he worked for New York state's Health Department, going after polluters of the Mohawk River. "I felt like I was making a difference," he said, adding that he had long had a love of the natural world and remembered being outraged as a child that the river's edge was slimy and the fish dying.
"We are the stewards of the land. We are meant to take care of it," he said.
When he retired in 2002, he went on a vision quest to determine what direction he would take during the next phase of his life. The result has been highly creative.
"My friends told me that when I retired I would be busier than ever before. They were right," he said.
This winter, his focus is on making furniture for his home and on getting ready for the woodworkers show which will be held March 27 and 28, at the Saratoga Springs City Center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Admission is $8 for adults; children under 12 are free. For more information, go to www.nwawoodworkingshow.org.
