OC Music Awards Showcase Series gets mellow
January 16th, 2013, 11:05 am by KELLI SKYE FADROSKI, ORANGE COUNTY REGISTERIt was a cold night – OK, nearly freezing – at the District at Tustin Legacy on Tuesday when five more local hopefuls took to the small outdoor stage for the second of eight rounds of competition in this year's OC Music Awards Showcase Series.
Beyond being dubbed best live band, it was announced Monday what other goodies the winner will receive: a slot on the 2013 Vans Warped Tour, four days of recording time at Red Bull Studios, a full Ernie Ball guitar strings endorsement as well as custom Ernie Ball Music Man guitars and basses, a $1,000 gift card to Guitar Center, a year's worth of free food at Wahoo's Fish Taco, an equal supply of Popchips, plus a performance at the awards ceremony at City National Grove of Anaheim on March 9.
Despite the biting cold, magnified by small gusts of wind, a couple hundred fans and artists showed up to support the competitors. It was a mellower night than last week's kickoff at Detroit Bar, as this lineup featured some of the county's finest folk, country and Americana acts.

Poor writing is an instant turnoff. Be it incorrect grammar, overused and tired phrases or a simple failure to proofread adequately, sloppy writing comes across as lazy and unprofessional. For attorneys who must be able to communicate with a range of audiences, from judges to peers to clients and prospective clients, bad writing habits can be costly.
You have read them – sentences that seem to drag on endlessly without actually saying anything at all. Sometimes you will find you have read an entire paragraph about "doubling down" on "client-focused results" where "the bottom line" is "thinking outside of the box" only to realize that you actually feel less informed than you did before reading it. If phrases like these grate on your nerves, you are not alone. Clients and judges do not like them either. And marketing materials filled with overused platitudes are not likely to send eager prospects flocking to your office.
As a profession, lawyers have built a reputation for using a writing style that is needlessly wordy and obtuse. But stereotypes were meant to be overcome.
Watch out for clichés and buzzwords. Overuse of clichéd statements is another nail in the coffin and the straw that breaks the camel's back for your writing's effectiveness. It makes your sentences appear longer at the expense of actually saying something to your readers. Every profession is guilty of spawning its own insider language, some of which is helpful and even necessary. But in many cases words and phrases get used so often that they no longer have any real meaning or value to offer. They are simply information-free filler.
Consider making a list of words to avoid that you can keep handy whenever you are writing. Ask others what their pet-peeves are. Do a search for overused industry terms. The marketing profession has its share of fluff, like "guru", "synergy" and "innovative." Keep you list updated and be vigilant when clichés rear their ugly heads... CONTINUE READING

State Monitors Flu Reports; Prepares for Possible Infections
posted on April 29, 2009 11:18
The Idaho State Laboratory continues to test samples from people with flu-like illnesses from across the state. However, no positive samples have been detected. The state will update lab reports on the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare web site, at
, at 2 p.m. each day to inform the media and public of possible infections.
"Government at every level is better positioned than ever to help people prepare for and respond to situations like this H1N1 outbreak. The coordinated efforts of local, state and federal responders should be a comfort to us all. But the bottom line is that individuals and families must act on their own to reduce their chances of contracting this or any other illness," Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter said. "The State of Idaho is ready to help, and I applaud the work of our Department of Health and Welfare, Bureau of Homeland Security and local health districts to protect and reassure the public."
The state, public health district, and medical providers continue to aggressively monitor all reports of flu-like illnesses in the state. People who have a recent travel history to areas affected by swine flu and who are suffering from flu symptoms should contact their healthcare provider. People who have no travel history should call their healthcare provider if their symptoms would normally warrant a visit to their doctor. People who do not have any symptoms should not be tested for swine flu.
Symptoms of the swine flu are similar to seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting. The best thing people can do to stay healthy is simple, but incredibly effective—wash your hands frequently, cover your cough, and stay home from work or school if you are sick. People cannot contract the infection from eating pork.
Although disease experts and public health officials are learning new information about the swine flu everyday, much remains unknown. Because of this, public health officials continue to prepare for possible infections in our state. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will ship Idaho enough medications to treat over 50,000 people with illnesses. The medications and other supplies are enroute, and will be placed strategically throughout the state for emergency use.
This also is a good reminder for families to review their emergency plans and resources. If the situation would worsen and infections spread, people may be asked to stay home from work or school. Because of this possibility, people are asked to have food and emergency supplies stocked in their homes. Helpful information is available at
For people who may be traveling to affected areas, travel information and recommendations are available from the CDC at:

Televised political debates can produce telling moments. One such moment in the debate on TV One last Tuesday night came when the Prime Minister was scorning the National Party's policy to cap the growth of the public service. "People will be fired," Helen Clark shouted, again and again, before National leader John Key replied that 300 people "were fired today at Carter Holt Harvey".
The point, as a momentarily chastened Helen Clark seemed to realise, is that the public service is not somehow cordoned off from the real economy, and certainly cannot be used as a job-creation sump. The public service exists on the taxes generated in productive sectors and its costs need to be constantly watched if the economy is to function properly.
In this country the core public service, so-called, is the desk-bound staff of Government departments as distinct from the wider "state service" which includes policemen, schoolteachers, nurses, social workers, everyone in state employment. National has been careful to aim its promised cap only at the public service and promises at the same time to strengthen what it calls "frontline" services.
Some of its other promises, such as programmes to tackle youth crime, training more doctors and abolishing parole for more violent offenders, could require additional social workers, medical courses, prison staff. It is unlikely National will contain the public payroll overall unless it can bring itself to go somewhat further than a "cap" on the core public service.
When National last came to power, in 1990, it set up a "razor gang" of its MPs to go through departmental budgets line by line. Even that exercise did not find enough savings to avoid cuts to wider social programmes the following year in a successful effort to bring the Budget back towards a balance.
This time, National is proposing something less than its previous razor gang. Mr Key says that if elected, it will call in departmental heads and ask them to do a line-by-line review of their spending. To undertake any extra activities, the departments would have to find the finance from savings in their existing budgets.
This does not sound very different from the normal round of negotiations that precede every annual Budget. Finance Ministers always start by telling departmental heads they must find savings for anything extra they want to do. What gives us any hope that Bill English might be a tougher nut to crack than Michael Cullen has been?
Only the character of his party. National may be much less interested than Labour has been in endless studies and consultation exercises around fairly academic ideas such as sustainability, work-life balance, pay equity and the like. Labour has made a habit of commissioning grand exercises of fine-sounding principles which the party does not know how to translate into concrete actions and nor, it usually turns out, does the study they subsequently commission to tell them.
So National may find some savings in agencies with not much to do. The Families Commission is already on its list, though that agency was an initiative of United Future, whose support National might need to govern. But there should be no shortage of other pet projects and token social agencies we can do without.
Whichever party leads the next Government, it is going to have to take careful stock of its spending. The pre-election fiscal update, projecting the budget in deficit for a decade, will acquire more importance after the votes are counted and a government installed. The financial crisis and the recession will be seen in better perspective and hard decisions will have to be made. A public service cap is the least we may need.

The rash of attacks against Target and other top retailers is likely to be the leading edge of a wave of serious cybercrime, as hackers become increasingly skilled at breaching the nation's antiquated payment systems, experts say.
Traditional defenses such as installing antivirus software and monitoring accounts for unusual activity have offered little resistance against gangs whose programmers write malicious code aimed at specific companies or buy inexpensive hacking kits online. Armed with such tools, criminals can check for system weaknesses in wireless networks, computer servers, or stores' card readers.
Nearly two dozen companies have been hacked in cases similar to the Target breach, the FBI recently warned retailers, according to an official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
After the ten attempts have been used, you must get RIM to unlock the device.
There are two routes, and only two, to achieve this.
* IF your device is in warranty, contact your service provider technical support. Tell them you have this issue which needs to be escalated to RIM level customer support. I'll warn you that most carrier technical support people will first assume and think you are referring to a device security unlock, and you will need to convince them otherwise and explain clearly what you need. THEY will not be able to help you because the carriers themselves cannot unlock a device which has had the MEP code attempts depleted, and should (and you will need to ask) to have the case escalated to RIM level tech support.
* If your device is out of warranty, contact RIM direct. See the Contact Us information from the website: http://ca.blackberry.com/contact/ The options you want to select to speak to BlackBerry Customer Care are 3 (for inquiries, orders, billing, e-RMA etc) then 5 (e-RMA and Out of Warranty).
Make sense? Good luck.

Imaging Resource has published an obituary of Bryce Bayer, who passed away recently. Often called the 'father of digital imaging', former Kodak scientist Bryce Bayer invented and gave his name to the so-called 'Bayer Filter' - a mosaic pattern of red, green and blue filters which allows silicon sensors that are only sensitive to luminance to capture information about the color in a scene. Patented in 1976, the RGBG Bayer Filter has since become essentially ubiquitous, being used in virtually all digital imaging systems from medium-format backs to smartphones. Click the links below to go straight to the obituary at www.imaging-resource.com.
In the obituary, author Dan Havlik ends by saying 'We salute Bryce Bayer for his huge contribution to digital imaging; a significant portion of the entire human population benefits from his invention every day'. We couldn't have put it better ourselves.

South Park returns for its 17th season this Wednesday night, and we now have a look at what the kids are getting up to as the Comedy Central animated series resumes. Based on the new clip from Wednesday night's "Let Go, Let Gov," it seems Cartman's having a rather strong reaction to learning that the NSA is snooping into people's personal business, but he's found a way around that. Instead of using Twitter to post his thoughts, he's on Shitter, a social networking site that apparently pulls thoughts right out of his mind and puts them onto the internet. Also Alec Baldwin's. Oftentimes when there's a reference to some kind of website in a TV show, it's fun to look around to see if an actual site like that really exists. Every once in a while, the network or show will actually create the page to extend the fun for their viewers, but I feel like this is one of those times when you probably don't want to search the internet for anything "Shitter" related. There are some things that just can't be unseen, so let's take Cartman's word for it that such a site exists, if not in our world, then in his. And we can only imagine what kind of thoughts are being posted there. Considering what he says, I can only imagine what he's thinking but not saying. Here's the official description for the episode: Cartman wants to hold the government accountable for secretly monitoring all of his personal information in an all-new episode of "South Park" titled "Let Go, Let Gov," premiering Wednesday, September 25 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on COMEDY CENTRAL. Is the NSA listening to Butters' prayers? In other funny news, in case you didn't notice, Key & Peele is back! Comedy Central has an hour of seriously funny TV lined up on Wednesday nights, with South Park returning to the 10:00 p.m. timeslot, followed by Key & Peele, which returned previously and airs at 10:30 p.m. Here's a sketch from last week's episode.

Samsung Unlikely to Bring Tizen Devices to U.S.
Jan 10, 2014, 8:49 AM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
Samsung indicated this week that it will not launch Tizen devices in the U.S., at least not any time soon. "We don't feel the U.S. is a great test market for those kinds of products," said Ryan Bidan, Samsung's director of product marketing, in an interview with Fierce Wireless. "The U.S. market is pretty mature. Bringing a new entrant here that doesn't meet a certain performance bar would be a challenge. Recognizing that, we don't want to set ourselves up for failure." Tizen is an open-source platform that Samsung is developing jointly with Intel and others. Bidan said that the company will launch Tizen products in other parts of the world. The first such devices are expected to reach the market during the first quarter of 2014.

Ahead of Budget Deadline, Cuomo Points to Power Shift in Albany
As the days count down to the April 1 budget deadline, Governor Andrew Cuomo is making clear to lawmakers that the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches of government has shifted.
Cuomo told legislators, in no uncertain terms, that he was prepared to employ a new tool discovered during the reign of his predecessor, Governor David Paterson. Paterson and his top aides interpreted a prior court decision to mean that the governor has the power, when the budget is late, to submit his entire plan in a spending extender, then force the legislature to either accept his budget or shut the government down.
"You really disagree, and you really want to stop it, then you shut down the government," Cuomo, who had experience with government closure while HUD Secretary under President Clinton in the 1990s, said recently. That episode did not work out well for Congress, which was blamed for the shutdown.
So far, the governor has not had to use his powerful new tool, Senate and Assembly leaders agreed to a state budget framework that includes most of the budget cuts that the governor is seeking.
Steve Greenberg, spokesman for Siena College polling, said a new survey shows that, theoretically, votes would support Cuomo's use of the threatened dramatic measure. Sixty-seven percent of respondents said they'd prefer the legislature pass Cuomo's budget in its entirety, rather than shut the government down.
Greenberg said lawmakers knew the only leverage they had with the governor was to try to win changes to the budget before the April 1 deadline. They did have a modicum of success. They gained $270 million dollars in school aid restorations, more money for public colleges and human services and greater say over which prisons will have to close to shrink the system by 3,700 beds.
But, Greenberg said, just the threat of having the power to force the legislature to pass his budget might work better for Cuomo than actually having to carry it out. If Cuomo were to expend his political capital by jamming his budget through, lawmakers might not be so inclined to cooperate on major items remaining in the session.
"There a lot of other contentious issues that still need to be dealt with this year," said Greenberg, including rent regulation reform, a property tax cap and ethics reform.
The governor wants to win agreements on those issues and other major items like legalizing gay marriage, and he will no longer have the power to force lawmakers to agree with him. Cuomo, in a jovial mood at the agreement announcement, praised Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and said he hoped the three had developed "a template for a new era of cooperation and productivity."
"I'm hoping that this sprit of love and euphoria that I feel is infectious and grows and continues," said Cuomo, with a laugh.
For now, Cuomo has the best of both worlds. Simply the threat of forcing the legislature to pass his budget after April 1 helped him win the early agreement, and with any luck the legislature will actually approve the budget by midnight Thursday, without the governor even having to raise his voice.

I have to admit that in the past I have found the "Cooking without Recipes" segment kind of annoying. I hate having to flip through the whole article while cooking to piece together the recipe. However, after cooking all of the recommended variations of creamy vegetable soups, I see the virtue in this feature. I now have the formula for creamy vegetable soups down pat, and I will forever be able to whip up a soup without a recipe. Yay! This exercise has allowed me to get a glimpse at how a chef thinks– you have a formula, and you fill it in with whatever suits your fancy. So, I decided to try my hand at making my own variation. And, you know what? I have the concept down, but the implementation needs work. The spices I chose (cumin and coriander) didn't work very well in my soup. Next time I think I'll try spicing my mushroom soup with rosemary.
And that's it– I have cooked the issue. This has been fun. I learned a lot by trying recipes I wouldn't normally consider. And I love interacting with the other contestants and seeing how other people interpret the recipes. The camaraderie has been great. Plus, I've been cooking so much that we've been able to turn down the heat in our house.

After much toil, we've finally struck upon a splendid route for Sunday's Tweed Ride. Given the regal nature of our attire, we felt a fitting ride must include stops at our fair city's dandy new art structures. We'll set off from the Grassy Knoll and make haste along Ross Avenue, naturally passing the Dallas Museum of Art, the stately new Winspear Opera House, and the majestic Wyly Theatre. After taking in these most impressive edifices, we'll jauntilly pedal by the new Main Street Garden Park, the much heralded Neiman's Christmas window displays, then pass our lovely old Red Courthouse. We'll then set off for the Left Banke of Dallas, crossing the old guvnor himself, the Houston Street Viaduct. Once across, hold on to your pipes as we mount a minor hill passing the classic Lake Cliff Park, and arrive at our favorite pub Eno's in the Bishop Arts District for libations and celebrations. Live vintage-era music will be performed by local crooner Matthew Tolentino, pints will be discounted to all cyclists, and children may partake of soda waters at the adjacent "soda gallery". After wetting our whistles, we'll return along Beckley Boulevard, and back to Dealey Plaza.
Right-O! Tweed Ride Route Announced
4 comments
Which station is better for getting to the Knoll? West End or Union?
I'd do West End, as Union Station drops you off at Houston Street which is a one-way going the wrong direction.
In the motor bike community they have a bike event where the Rockers and the Mods get together. I'm thinking if we had a ride with the Goths and the Tweeds it might be kind of catchy.
Keep up the good work!!!

- Honeywell Wind TurbineIf you thought that wind turbines were too noisy, bulky, expensive, or unreliable in low winds, we want to tell you about a new product that could dispel those worries. At this year's LightFair convention in Las Vegas, we spotted a truly remarkable alternative energy product developed by the Michigan-based company Windtronics for Honeywell. The WT6500 Wind Turbine is one of the best examples of wind power generators for residential, small business, and commercial applications. Just like many of us, I have my reservations about whether owning a wind turbine is practical for city life, so I caught the ear of Kevin Youngquist from Windtronics to for more details -- read on for our exclusive interview!1
- Honeywell Wind TurbineKevin talked about one of the biggest concerns for those interested in turbines: "What if I don't have a lot of wind?" Most wind turbines of this capacity require 7 to 8 mph winds to overcome the resistance of the gears. A conventional turbine uses the wind to move blades that turn gears to power a generator, whereas the Honeywell Turbine eliminates the separate generator and the gearing.2
- Honeywell Wind TurbineInstead of spinning gears, the Honeywell Turbine uses a patent pending magnetic technology to generate energy. Each blade has a magnet at the tip, so as they spin, they pass by coiled copper. Essentially, the entire turbine becomes the generator, and it only needs winds of 2 mph to get it spinning. Kevin even had it running with just the air blown from a tiny desktop fan. The wheel is also mounted so it turns freely with a use of side fins. This means that it can rotate easily so it will always be in the direction of the wind path. This video gives a quick look at how it works.3
- Honeywell Wind TurbineIt is also worth mentioning that the turbine is quiet -- it only emits  35db, which is about the same level of ambient noise found in a library. When I was standing next to it talking to Kevin, you could not hear it at all amongst the noise of the trade show goers.4
- Honeywell Wind TurbineThe next biggest question is cost. The unit will retail for $6,495, but there are currently many federal and state rebate programs that will give you back 30% or more of the cost for the unit and installation. In class 4 winds zones, like the area here in Chicago, the turbine will produce over 2700 kWh annually. This would equal out to about 20% of the energy used in the average single family home. You can find out what the wind speeds are like in your area using the EPA's wind maps.5
- Honeywell Wind TurbineThe national average price for residential energy is around $0.11 per kWh, but it can be up to $0.27 in some places. Some electric companies do offer wind energy programs that typically charge 2 or 3 cents more per kWh. The math comes out to savings that starts at around $350. If you live in an area where prices for kWh are much higher, like New York or Hawaii, then that savings could be over $700 annually. Considering additional operating costs, it is expected that it might take about 10 years for the unit to pay for itself. That may seem like a long time, but it highly competitive compared with other wind and solar energy generators. The calculator at WindEstimator.com can help you understand the costs for your specific geographic area.6
- Honeywell Wind TurbineIf you live in an area with extreme weather, you may be concerned about the turbine standing up to strong winds. The turbine has been tested to operate in wind gusts up to 90mph, and it is made primarily from UV-resistant nylon and anodized aluminum in order to withstand the elements. Kevin told me about how they have ">tested the turbines in wind tunnels and also outside in a Wisconsin winter, which can drop many feet of snow. He also explained how there is a sensing control, called the Smart Box, inside the turbine that turns on a braking system when the blades are going too fast. The 6ft diameter unit can be mounted to a pole, or directly to the roof by a professional installer. The total weight is only 170lbs, so it should not pose structural concerns.7
- Honeywell Wind TurbineI asked Kevin about birds, as there are reports that some wind turbines can cause unnatural avian deaths, since the blades spin so fast that they appear transparent. The Honeywell Turbine has considered this by using dark colors and enclosing the blades in a framed system so that it will be more easily seen and avoided.8
- Honeywell Wind TurbineServicing and maintenance represent another area of concern, so I asked Kevin for more details. Since the turbine has been designed to withstand high wind and extreme weather, it is rugged and needs very little maintenance. The only part that is likely to need replacing is a bearing, which could be changed every few years. That sure beats my outdated fuel burner, which requires service at least annually.9
- Honeywell Wind TurbineFor full disclosure, I had actually seen this product on display at my local Best Buy Store's Green Zone here in Chicago last month. I was in awe of the clean lined frame and finned design, but until talking with Kevin from Windtronics, I did not fully understand the innovation, and I had also assumed that it would be way out of my budget. I was impressed at the initiatives from Best Buy to offer green consumer tech, and it felt for a minute like I was a kid in a candy store among all the cool eco products.10
- Honeywell Wind TurbineThe Chicago area stores are currently flagships for the sale of upcycled consumer goods, solar panels, and electric bicycles, but we will probably see this trend expands to other stores in the nation. If you are in Chicago, you can go see The Honeywell Wind Turbine in action, and it will be available for sale in August 2010. It will also be available through Ace Hardware stores and other dealers.11

The Tragedy Of Bridget Such-a-one
A hundred and fifty years ago famine in Ireland fostered a desperate, unprecedented mass migration to America. Neither country has been the same since.
December 1997 | Volume 48, Issue 8
Female employment was a source of independence and adaptation to American life, but above all, it was a wellspring of the money that poured back into Ireland, rescuing families from starvation and financing a selfperpetuating chain of emigration that would stretch across generations. At the height of the famine, Mrs. Nicholson marveled that "the Irish in America, and in all other countries where they are scattered, were sending one continued train of remittances, to the utter astonishment of the Postmasters." In the famine decade more than £8.4 million was remitted for passage out of the British Isles. The British colonial secretary was delighted that the outflow of Irish was being funded at no expense to the government and surprised to discover that"such feelings of family affection, and such fidelity and firmness of purpose, should exist so generally among the lower classes." In Massachusetts, Edward Evereft Hale was struck by the generosity of the Irish but worried that their "clannish" spirit of sharing might drag them down together. "For example," he wrote, "it is within my own observation, that in the winter of 1850 to 1851, fourteen persons, fresh from Ireland, came in on the cabin hospitality of a woman in Worcester, because she was the cousin of one of the party."
The strains of adjustment to America were enormous. The itinerant work of railroad building, which many took part in, and high rates of disease, accidental death, and alcohol abuse put tremendous pressure on families. Irishwomen were more likely to be widowed or deserted than their American counterparts. But amid the epic transformation of potato-growing tenants into urban laborers, moving from the tightly woven fabric of Irish townlands to the freewheeling environment of American cities, what was most remarkable of all was the speed and scope with which the Irish reorganized themselves. Within little more than a generation they translated their numbers into control of the Democratic party in the major cities and turned municipal patronage into an immediate and pragmatic method for softening the ravages of boom-and-bust capitalism. Barred from the privileged circle of high finance, equipped with few entrepreneurial skills, suspicious through experience of theories that made capital accumulation a supreme good, the Irish spearheaded the rise of organized labor.
The greatest manifestation of their effort to regroup was the Catholic Church, which was elevated from an ingredient in Irish life to its center, the bulwark of a culture that had lost its language and almost disintegrated beneath the catastrophe of the famine. In America as well as Ireland, vocations to the priesthood and sisterhood soared. Catholic parishes became the defining institution of Irish neighborhoods. Catholic schools, hospitals, and asylums created a vast social welfare network. Catholic nuns founded protectories and orphanages that countered the placing-out system, which took hundreds of thousands of immigrant children and shipped them west to "Christian" (Protestant) homes. Eventually these institutions were influential in establishing the obligation of the state to the support of dependent children.
The Catholic Church was the strongest institutional link in the exodus from Ireland and adjustment to America. It was the enduring monument to the effects of the famine: to the sexual repression and religious devotionalism that followed it; to the quest for respectability amid jarring dislocation and pervasive discrimination; and to the discipline, cohesion, and solidarity that allowed the Irish to survive, progress, and eventually reach undreamed-of levels of success. Only after a century and a half, when the Irish had erased almost every trace of their once seemingly ineradicable status as outsiders, would the power of the church begin to wane.
For Irish Catholics in America, the famine was the forge of their identity, fire and anvil, the scattering time of flight and dissolution, and the moment of regathering that would one day make them an influential part of the world's most powerful democracy. The famine was rarely recalled in its specifics. There was no record made of its horrors or complexities. The blistering humiliations it inflicted and the divisions it exacerbated—the way it fell hardest on the landless Irish-speaking poor—were subsumed in a bitter and near-universal detestation of British rule in Ireland. Yet, unspoken, unexamined, largely lost to conscious memory, the famine was threaded into Irish America's attitudes, expectations, and institutions. The Irish-American film director John Ford said that he was drawn to making the movie version of The Grapes of Wrath because in the Depression-era saga of Okies evicted from the land and left to wander and starve he recognized the story of his own ancestors.

@pkoutoupis, Reading from the RapidDisk main page, I see this: Quoting:The rxdsk module has been designed to allocate from the system's memory pages (as it needs it and not all at once during creation) ... Does that mean that the ramdisk is dynamically sized and resized to be only as large as the sum of the ramdisk's contents? Just like an Amiga ramdisk? If so, that is fantastic! |
pkoutoupis Aug 13, 2012 9:46 AM EDT |
@tuxchick You make an excellent point and I will be sure to do that from now on. Thank you very much for the advise. @djohnston I already replied to your mail, but I will also post the reply here for everyone else to see: "That is exactly what that means. According to the block subsystem, on volume size queries, it will only return the created size of the volume. That is, if you create a 2GB ramdisk, it will always report a 2GB size, but if that same 2GB volume only has 100 MB of data in it, it will only consume 100 MB of system memory and add more memory pages as you write more data to it." |

Taseko files second judicial review of rejected New Prosperity project
Wrongdoing by government ministers, ministries, civil servants and agencies caused New Prosperity Mine's latest defeat, Taseko Mines Ltd. said.
On Wednesday the company filed a judicial review claiming the federal panel failed in its duty to deliver a fair process which caused the company's mine project to be rejected by the federal government in February.
"The company is seeking to clarify both the failed process and the decision that stemmed from it in a court of law," said Brian Battison, vice-president of corporate affairs with Taskeo Mines Ltd. Wednesday. "It's the only reasonable option for Taseko at this time."
Through the judicial review, the company is asking for orders to quash Minister of Environment Leona Aglukkaq's decision to turn the mine down because it is "likely to cause adverse environmental effects."
The review asks the court to reject the decision by cabinet that "significant environmental adverse affects the project is likely to cause are not justified," and that the court refer the decision back to cabinet for reconsideration.
Taseko is also challenging some of the sections of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act as "unconstitutional" as part of its judicial review.
"Our aim remains the same and that's to seek the necessary authorizations to build the New Prosperity Mine in the Cariboo," Battison said.
In its notice of application for the judicial review, Taseko has submitted evidence gleaned from Xeni Gwet'in Chief Roger William's personal Facebook page.
It points out meetings William and other Tsilhqot'in National Government representatives attended in Ottawa with Aglukkaq on Oct. 8, 2013 "before the Minister made a decision," and on Oct. 9 with Michael Wernick of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada; Bob Hamilton of Environment Canada; Matthew King of Fisheries and Oceans Canada; Louis Levesque of Transport Canada; and Serge Dupont of Natural Resources Canada. He also met with Ron Hallman, the President of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA).
"Some or all of these individuals were involved in advising the Minister and the Governor in Council in respect of their decisions regarding the New Prosperity Project under CEAA 2012," Taseko noted, adding the project was discussed but Taseko was not present.
"It doesn't surprise me, that this company wouldn't go to any extreme to move their agenda forward," said Chief Joe Alphonse, Tribal Chair for the TNG.
When they left the meetings in Ottawa in October, the reality is the group was disheartened by how the meetings went, he added.
"We have limited resources and can't afford to fly back and forth to Ottawa. We went there to counter what Taseko had been putting out in the media."
Alphonse questions Taseko's complaint about the meetings.
"They've had quite a series of lobbying on their behalf, are they taking that into consideration?" he said. "Are they comparing Minister Bill Bennett's and Premier Christy Clark's visits to Ottawa and saying we had full access? Get real."
Taseko and its lobbyists probably had 10 times the amount of time with government that the TNG had, he continued.
Wednesday's judicial review is the second one Taseko has filed.
In November, the company filed a judicial review claiming the environmental assessment panel's report should also be dismissed.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Tiger Global Management LLC, a hedge fund run by Chase Coleman, bought a stake in Brazilian Groupon Inc. rival Peixe Urbano, adding another early-stage Internet investment to his roster.
Peixe Urbano said Friday it got a new round of investments from firms including General Atlantic, a growth-equity specialist, as well as Tiger Global.
The new money will help Peixe Urbano expand in Brazil and Argentina, as well as in other Latin American countries, according to Julio Vasconcellos, founding partner and chief executive of the online daily-deal company.
Space aliens love Thailand
UFO hunters say Asia's surging economy is attracting international attention — and aliens from outer space. James Hookway reports from UFO hot spot Khao Kala Hill in Nakhon Sawan, Thailand.
Peixe Urbano was launched in March 2010 in Brazil by Vasconcellos, Emerson Andrade and Alex Tabor, who all met at Stanford University. The company has 9 million registered users and says it has sold more than 5 million coupons.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, Peixe Urbano raised money from Benchmark Capital, a leading Silicon Valley venture firm. The deal was Benchmark's first investment in Latin America.
It's unusual for hedge funds to dabble in venture capital, but Coleman's Tiger Global has been busy in this area for several years.
Coleman used to be a tech analyst at Julian Robertson's Tiger Management, one of the most successful hedge-fund firms. Coleman launched Tiger Global in 2001 with backing from Robertson.
Tiger Global's hedge fund oversees more than $4 billion in assets. But the firm also has raised a lot of money for venture-capital vehicles, starting in 2003.
Coleman invested in Facebook Inc. when the social-media firm was valued at about half its recent $50 billion valuation, according to an investor in Tiger Global's hedge fund. Coleman's investments in Facebook are held in the firm's hedge fund, as well as in the venture-capital vehicles, the investor added.
Tiger Global's hedge fund was up more than 5% in April, leaving it up about 16% in the first four months of 2011, the investor noted.
Coleman has invested in other Internet companies, including LinkedIn Corp., E-Commerce China Dang Dang Inc. DANG and Youku.com.com Inc. YOKU according to Bloomberg News.
LinkedIn filed for an initial public offering in January. Dang Dang and Youku, two Chinese Internet companies, completed IPOs in December in the United States
Youku has more than tripled from its IPO price of $12.80, while Dang Dang recently traded above $22; its offering price was $16.
Tiger Global is also listed as the largest shareholder of MakeMyTrip Ltd. MMYT, -0.42% a travel-booking website in India. The company completed an IPO in the United States in August; it's more than doubled from the offering price of $14.

On The Record With Cindy ~ Butch Trucks
In this week's 'On The Record With Cindy,' we take a closer look at Butch Trucks.
In this week's 'On The Record With Cindy,' we take a closer look at Butch Trucks.
'The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings' box set, due July 29, will feature 15 never-before-heard Allman Brothers Band performances.
We spoke with one of the Allman Brothers Band's drummers about their upcoming performance at Mountain Jam and his solo project.
Contrary to what he said earlier this year, Gregg Allman reveals that the Allman Brothers Band are not breaking up.
On April 30, The Allman Brothers Band will release a live DVD that was recorded on the 40th anniversary of their first performance.
A member of a film crew working on the Gregg Allman biopic 'Midnight Rider' was killed yesterday after a train unexpectedly crossed a bridge where a scene was being filmed.
These are sad times for Allman Brothers fans, with the band's longtime guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks set to leave the lineup at the end of the year -- and the group's retirement from the road to follow. But in the meantime, Trucks says audiences can expect to hear the Allmans at their very best.
Following the announcement three weeks ago that two key members of the Allman Brothers Band -- guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks -- would be leaving the group at the end of the year, frontman Gregg Allman has more bad news for the group's loyal fans: It will stop touring altogether at the end of 2014.
The sudden and potentially devastating departure of two key members has left the Allman Brothers Band -- not to mention their fans -- reeling. Will the group retire again? Reload? Turn back to past members? We explore the options.
Enjoy the guitar heroics while you can. Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks are both leaving the Allman Brothers Band at the end of the year.
Expect the unexpected when the Allman Brothers Band continue their annual run of shows at New York's Beacon Theatre in a couple of months. "Spontaneous things will happen," Gregg Allman told Rolling Stone.
Scranton, Pa. is known for its coal mining history -- and for playing host to TV's best-known fictional paper company -- but this Aug. 17-18, it was also the best place in the country to find jam.

Though the magistrate judge received no immediate help Tuesday, the Barrow County Board of Commissioners did add another $6,000 to the current year's budget for the Barrow County Juvenile Court.
Judge Kevin Guidry requested the amendment to his court's FY2011 budget in order to cover the cost of free legal services for indigent parents.
Most of the affected parents are facing the loss of their children due to poverty, he said.
Two years ago, the county budget included about $29,000 in funding for indigent legal services, but that figure was nearly cut in half in the current year's budget.
With the additional $6,000 in funding through Sept. 30, that brings that total expenditure this year to $21,000.
Commissioner Larry Joe Wilburn noted that the new budget for FY2012 includes only $15,750 for that same kind of expense and asked the judge if he likely would be back at the end of the next fiscal year for another budget amendment.
Juvenile Court gets a little more funding

Why should the Magristrate Judge get anymore money? I called the jail the other day to find out some info about bonding and was told the judge only comes on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays for bond. What's up with that Judge? You whined about getting another person in your office approved fir being your back up judge, and then you still short change the taxpayers? You want, want, want, but when are YOU going to do your part of doing YOUR job that WE pay you to do? I' m sick of your whiny arse and want you to do the job you swore an oath to the taxpayers to do, even if they are criminals, they have rights too! A right to a bond within a reasonable TIME. Vote them all. out!!! No incumbents in 2012, yes that includes you Judge Davis!!!
I bet your the same type of person that complains about the drug dealers, thiefs and burglars being on or streets. You want them out of jail quicker, REALLY? I am guessing you were trying to bond someone out and you didnt get your way so you feel better about complaining about the judge. Let me make something clear to you because you apparently have NO CLUE. Judge Davis is not only charged with the criminal side of court, she also handles civil cases, signs warrants for officers, wakes up at three in the morning to sign search warrants, holds preliminary hearings for bond reductions (FOR PEOPLE LIKE)
as well as handles all of the city court cases for Winder. Are you really mad that you couldn't get your criminal friend, husband, family member or however it was out of jail. How dare she not give them a bond when YOU wanted it. Just a little fun fact for you, by law, she doesnt have to set a bond for 72 hrs if she doesn't want too.

I don't complain about drug dealers since I am one of those people who think the "war on drugs" is a big fat phony waste of time. What I complain about are fascist cops like you. Ignorant crypto-nazis who couldn't hold a job parking cars, so they pin cheap badges to their puffed-up chests, put them in souped-up cars and tell them to chase citizens down like dogs. Once in awhile some cop gets what's coming to them, and they have big phony funeral on tv.
Lord, how that makes my day!
Lord, how that makes my day!
Says the one with a huge criminal history I am sure who is most likely parking those same cars. Your the exact reason why some cops use excessive force, people just like you and boy do you deserve. I can call you boy, can't I, seeing thats what you are. By the way,isnt it past your bedtime?. Put the xbox down and go get some rest little boy, leave the real stuff to us grown folks. Did you also post the "all incumbents must go"? What should it matter to you, convicted felons can't vote anyway.
Judge Davis doesn't have to do the Ciry of Winder, she closes to. She was elected to run Magistrate court, not the City of Winder and their court. She has become greedy off the backs of the citizens and decided to dip into the city pf Winders business. We the citizens voted her in to run Magistrate Ct and it's functions, not negate her elected duties to run the city court for winder's cases. I call that double dipping on County time!! I believe, she does city of Winder court on Fridays during county hours in the County Courthouse! So the poor is me BS doesn't work forme. She chose to do city court and does it during regular business hours and gets paid by the city and county at the same time, I call that double dipping. If it's too much for her to handle, give it up and get a real non complaining working individual in there to do the job! I'm nor for inmate rights, but if it was your family member and they was locked up at 100 am On Saturday morning and had to sit till Monday afternoon when she felt like coming to the jail, you'd be a bit upset too!!
Now Peggy, do you really know for a FACT the she is double dipping? If you do then you are just as bad as her for letting her do it and not bringing it to the attention of the proper people. I think you know it's NOT true and just want to try and get people on your side...guess what, it's not working. Most of us are too smart for that and know the real truth. Give me exact dates that you have seen City of Winder court in the county building, you can't, it doesn't happen nor will it ever happen. Also, just a little FYI, the City of Winder came to her, she wasn't "dipping" into any pockets. If you are going to accuse an elected official of wrong doing and criminal activity, and yes double dipping can be criminal on top of violation of oath of office, you better have all the facts. I'll be anxiously waiting for ALL of the TRUE FACTS.
Talk with bailiffs at the courthouse and ask the city clerk or the city probation officer if they've come to the courthouse for court on Fridays. You'd be surprised at the response. In fact check the court calendars for the city and you will see 652 barrow park dr was a court day back in august and September of this year, 2nd floor mag ct
Did I read right? Parents are losing their children due to being poor? What happened to communities helping one another. Judge Guidry it costs to take these children away also.If these families were given the needed tools to empower them then that would be a great help. This is a tradegy that is sad and angers me at the same time. The government oversteps their authority a lot of times and we pay the bill on their decisions. Not a single post above mentioned the families and children's loss over this injustice. I understand the terms in the best interest of the child and unfortunately, it's at the expense of the child and their family. Their home and family unit has been destroyed/separated by a system that is corrupt and has their best interests being number one. Our county responds to false reports while these so called callers are not required to leave their names and info. I guarantee if they changed that rule, DFACS would not be busy chasing these false claims. Our community has got to change and stand up to the many injustice acts that surround us. It takes a village and somehow, somewhere we have lost that.

SOUND OFF: Cleveland Rocks! Bottom In NBA Draft
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Cal Lee.
The buzz surrounding the 2011 NBA Draft was never really about what the Cleveland Cavaliers should do rather than what they shouldn't do. The hype leading up to the top 2 prospects Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams made me wonder whether Cleveland was clearly looking for one these guys to be their future or if they were being bullied to take someone because of the hype that comes with having ...

Knicks/Cavs- 5 Things

The Cleveland Cavaliers have won eight games at The Q. Two of those wins came against the Knicks. Hey guys!, Lebron left this summer! Has Mike D'Antoni forgotten to tell the team? Maybe he thought it would hurt morale, being that the "plan" was to dress Lebron in orange and blue. It was a swift kick in the pants, if there ever was one. Apparently, acquiring one of the league's...

It was a fitting way to end the most recent stretch of games. The Knicks closed out the "easy portion" (well, for now) of the schedule with a tidy 101 – 95 win over the Wizards on Friday night. It was the end of the cake walk and the beginning of "the test," but more on that later in the Knick/Wizards edition of the 5 things…. 1. 30+ again for STAT – I really hate that nickname,...

Celtics One Win Away from East Finals
Posted on 12 May 2010 by johnw.
In game 5, the Celtics executed the game plan to perfection against Lebron and the Cavs pulling off a shocking road win, 120-88. Right after the big win this is what Coach Doc Rivers had to say: "One of the things I told our guys is we've done nothing. All we've done is win three games and you've have to win four. We have a home game and that's it for us in this series. It's a ver...

Okay I'm not sure how to put this right.. Let me try to explain.
I want to use one text box and the info inside it will vary depending on radio button selection, screen shot...
if this is the text box
<input type="text" name="i" id="nomeff" value="<?php ?>" size="5" />
and these are the radio button
<input type="radio" name="rate" value="i">Effective Value <input type="radio" name="rate" value="r">Nominal value
how are they going to integrate.
>>>>>>>>>>>Previously I had 2 text boxes so I coded with php in that way..
The php code
<?php if(isset($_REQUEST['submit'])) { define("e", "2.71828183"); $i=trim($_REQUEST['i'])/100; $r=trim($_REQUEST['r'])/100; //to accomodate different compounding periods including "other" if(empty($_REQUEST['n2'])){ $n=trim($_REQUEST['n']); }else{ $n=trim($_REQUEST['n2']); } // Effective value Calculation if(empty($_REQUEST['r'])){ if($n == "Continuous" ){ $result=(pow(e,$i)-1)*100;} else{ $result=((pow(1+($i/$n),$n))-1)*100;} echo "The effective value is ".number_format(round($result, 3), 3)."%"; } // Nominal value Calculation if(empty($_REQUEST['i'])){ if($n == "Continuous"){ $result=((log10($r+1))/(log10(e)))*100;} else{ $result=((pow(($r+1), 1/$n)-1)*$n)*100;} echo "The nominal value is ".number_format(round($result, 3), 3)."%"; } } ?>
and this the text box html..

 Nominal annual interest rate:	<input id="id_i" type="text" name="i" value="<?php if(!empty($_REQUEST['i'])){ echo trim($_REQUEST['i']);} ?>" size="5" /> %

 Effective Interest Rate:	<input id="id_i" type="text" name="r" value="<?php if(!empty($_REQUEST['r'])){ echo trim($_REQUEST['r']);} ?>" size="5" /> %

Now, how can I serve the same purpose with radio buttons and a text box instead of 2 text boxes, I hope i was able to explain it some what. Any help highly appreciated.
Instead use
<input type="number" name="i" id="nomeff" value="<?php echo $_REQUEST['i'] ?>" size="5">
Older browsers will treat number as a text field anyway. Newer ones will filter the inputs automatically, smartphones visiting the site will present a numeric keypad instead of a full keyboard.
If neither radio button is clicked, $_REQUEST['rate'] will not be set. Otherwise, it will have the value of the radio button that was checked when the form was submitted.
I would recommend setting a default with the checked attribute and using the label tag for the radio button's label.
<input type="radio" name="rate" value="i" checked id="effective">Effective Value
The for attribute of label links it to the radio button. The value of the attribute must match the id of the radio button. Once set, it allows the radio button to be checked by clicking the label.
Although these solutions didn't address my main problem, they are still priceless advise. I guess I was not able to articulate my self well. Any way I was able to solve the main problem. Thanks
number seems to doesn't accept decimals. What can be done here?
Got it, step="any" attribute..

Mintage (all varieties)
Calendar year, Mint report: 54,454
Coins bearing date, author's estimate: 35,000
Coinage Context
The price of silver: Whereas during the period 1794-1799 the intrinsic value of the silver dollar had not exceeded its face value, in 1800 the dollar became worth slightly more as bullion than face value. In 1801 a silver dollar was worth about $1.03. For this reason, mintages declined. As silver dollars continued to be worth more than face value, most (including earlier-minted coins on hand) were melted or exported. The situation was intolerable, and in 1804 production was halted.
Mintage commentary: Conventional wisdom has it that part of this mintage was dated 1800. In his Encyclopedia, p. 428, Walter H. Breen states this: "Mintage reported for 1801 consisted largely of coins dated 1800; similar backdating was the rule through 1804."
Die making: Die making procedures followed those employed in 1800.
On the obverse, variables include the positional relationships of the 13 stars, the word LIBERTY and its component letters, the date, and the portrait of Miss Liberty.
On the reverse, variables include the positional relationships of the letters in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the branch, arrows, eagle, clouds, and stars above the eagle. The reverse of 1801 BB-214 has the lower right serif of the T partially broken (from an injured or worn punch), while on the reverse of BB-213 lower right serif or foot of the T is completely missing.
Die combinations: Two obverse dies were mated with four reverses to produce dollars dated this year. The division wasn't equal: one obverse was coupled with three different reverses to create BB-211, BB- 212, and BB-213, and the other obverse was monogamous with another reverse to create BB-214 (but after its obverse "died," it went on in later years to additional unions with obverses dated 1802 and 1803 to create 1802/1 BB-233, 234, 235, and 242; 1803 BB-251 and BB-252).
Similarly, the reverse die used to coin 1801 BB-212 is one of several dies in the early dollar series that was employed to strike coins with more than one obverse date. Not only did it combine with an 1801 die to create BB-212, it also was used to strike 1802/1 BB-231, BB-232, and 1802 BB-241; and 1803 BB-254 and BB-255.
Of dies and year dating: Concerning the long lived reverse dies used to create 1801 BB-212 and BB-214, BB-212 may have been made first, as the lower right serif of the foot of T is intact, whereas on BB-214 it is partially missing. (Made still later was the reverse to coin BB-213, with the lower right serif completely missing). However, the set of punches which contained the broken T also had duplicate(s), as evidenced by a perfect T used to make the two new reverse dies found on the 1801-1804 novodels.
Reverse die progression evidence indicates that the reverse die used to coin 1801 BB-212 (called by Bolender, Reverse A), indicates that this die was used no earlier than 1802. Similar evidence reveals that the reverse die used to coin 1801 BB-214 (Bolender's Reverse B) was not used before 1802. Thus, neither 1801 BB-212 nor 214 were coined in 1801. As obverse die progression indicates that 1801 BB-213 was struck after 1801 BB-212, this means that 1801 BB-213 also was struck after 1801. Further, 1801 BB-213 has broken T letters on the reverse, from the employment of a broken T punch. 1802 BB-241 has the same broken T on the obverse. As the 1802 obverse die could not have been made in 1801, nor would it have made sense to have made it in 1803, this isolates the year 1802 for the production of the reverse used to coin 1801 BB-213, another verification that 1801 BB-213 was struck in 1802 at the earliest.
Thus, 1801 BB-211 is the only variety dated 1801 that might have been actually struck in 18011 However, it too could have been struck later.
Because of this, the 54,454 silver dollars the Mint reported as having been coined in calendar year 1801 probably consisted largely of pieces of earlier dates.
Order of striking: It seems likely that the order of striking of 1801-dated dollar varieties was-as follows: 1801 BB-211. Struck in 1801 or later. The only 1801-dated dollar for which there is a possibility it was actually struck in 1801. 1801 BB-212. Struck in 1802 or later. 1801 BB-213. Struck in 1802 or later. 1801 BB-214. Struck in 1802 or later.
Numismatic Information
Commentary: Four business strike die varieties exist, none of which is a formidable rarity. In his 1881 Type-Table, Capt. J.W. Haseltine said nothing of the rarity of any of the four varieties he listed (H-1 through H-4, equal to BB-211 through BB-214 today); apparently, he considered them all common. Today, as in yesteryear, the completion of a full set of 1801 dollars is a realistic goal, The 1801 is scarce as a date as are also 1802 and 1803. The 1801 Proof novodel "restrike," made decades later, is discussed in chapters 5 and 6.
Identification of the four varieties is literally and figuratively as easy as 1-2-3 (and 4.) using the Easy-Finding Guide presented earlier'. Most specimens in existence today are in worn grades. It is significant to mention that as of October 1992, NGC and PCGS combined had graded just one 1801 dollar as Mint State.
