Yes I am one of those people that is playing Heartstone and loving it. But this blog is about WoW so lets get to it. Is WoW fun to play anymore?
I completely despise many aspects of the game now, from anything that makes me grind to anything that wants me to group with random people. A game that used to be social has become one of the most antisocial games that wears the MMO tag. Grouping with people lately has made me remember why stopped playing FPS, the constant trolling and racist language seems to have come to WoW groups and it is starting to basically make it unbearable to do the things that I loved to do in game. It is not only toxic players though, it is also the game itself that really unveiled the mouse wheel it turned into. Features like challenge modes, proving grounds, connected realms and flex raiding almost feel a little too late.
I have chronicled here the demise of our playing group. We used to have blast during Wrath and then cataclysm showed up and broke up our play style. We used to be very happy to grind dungeons together for alts but the comeback of difficult dungeons made it so you would only go to heroic dungeons with certain people or pug it for the "luck of the draw" buff. You had to basically stop playing with your friends because they could not be "carried" through standing on poison from a snake. We used to love tearing up a dungeon even if the person behind was just the one picking up loot and getting their new shinnies. Challenge modes would have been great to have back then so that heroics could have remained a true group activity and not the time consuming sink it became.
Remember proving grounds did not exist there, so if you did not have an activity where you could take players just relearning their class (which seem to happen after every patch) they felt left behind. We cannot take someone not producing to a heroic dungeon while they learn their new rotation anymore, don't even ask about raiding.
Connected realms did not exist so the separation of playing capabilities along with the migration to higher populated realms meant that eventually we made the same move and left our original sever behind for greener pastures. A great move I have to add because playing in a dead server can be soul crushing.
The during Cata LFR was introduced and probably did the most damage to the community by allowing everyone to raid without commitment and plenty of anonymity. Stressing the speed run mentality even more nobody had time to explain a fight, worse nobody would take the time to talk through someone's rotation anymore (go check out X website is as far as anyone went anymore… me included).
I was not one of the people that felt that I had nothing to do in Cata, in fact I had plenty to do running LFR on multiple toons and loved the expansion towards the end. Hated firelands for many reasons but loved DS.
Flex raiding did not exist so only those good enough to raid got the chance to and everyone else was pushed to do LFR. This holds true until today, we don't have alt raids anymore everyone that does not make normal or flex night goes straight for LFR.
I know that the dailies in MoP did a lot of damage to the game and Blizzard really burned people out (at least 3 of our long time raiders up and quit the game because of it.) but the amount of trash in raids also made it so. I see no reason to have as much trash as there is in raids today other that to artificially slow down your progress. We are advancing in the raids but not because we are becoming better and better at earlier boss and getting more gear but because we are saving lockouts. A raid now had to be split into night and being able to raid once a week and progress is unrealistic for a group not pushing heroic content. There is no way to really do speed runs to gear alts or people coming back into the game… remember it is not just about gear either but giving them a chance to test their skills again in a more realistic environment than LFR. I would love to have a ToT night to gear people or just for fun, but the amount of trash in that place makes it really not time effective. Instead we push people to "repair bill island" to get their catch up gear.
Then it hit me this week. I have heard about it before from others and articles I have read, but it really hit me. WoW is just not a friendly game for newcomers anymore. I saw it myself in a lower level BG. No explanation of anything only *expletives* and insults with zero direction. Anyone coming into the game now and doing a group activity would see just people being horrible to each other instantly. To me that is not much fun. I am not going to make excuses for blizzard anymore on this one… while the community as a whole could help with this we don't have the tools to remove the toxic players from the game or mute them permanently not just with an ignore feature but with a "flag as unfriendly or toxic"
I hope that connected realms as it is being rolled out helps with some of this and makes community a thing in WoW again, because just like the low pop realm I left was basically ruined by the toxic people it seems the game as a whole is being invaded by d-bags. And that my friends makes the game simply not fun anymore.

2 Week Specials, Care & Conservation in Costa Rica by Ellie Edwards
Costa Rica is such a beautiful country filled with luscious green trees lining every road, mountains in every background and dark orange sunsets every night at around 6pm.
I spent my first week in Liberia, a town around four hours away from the capital city of San Jose. The journey there was an experience on its own, as our luggage was thrown on top of the van and locked in place by some sort of string.
We arrived in Liberia when the sun was shining, but despite the beautiful weather Liberia is a town that's quite run down. Every building has bars on the windows and people keep their doors locked, however even with this I felt like it was such an interesting experience.
Week one in Costa Rica
We spent the first week working in a Care centre, playing with the children all aged between 1 and 6 years old, helping with their lunch and then painting and doing work on the building itself. The Care centre is paid for by the government and around 30 children go there between 8am and 4pm.
Each morning we were greeted by the children who ran to the gates shouting 'Hola' and grabbing our hand, insisting that we played with them. We often played the same game with them for hours upon end and somehow the children just didn't run out of energy!
The best thing was to see how happy the children were. It was hard to imagine some of their lives outside of the centre and the stories we were told about them were very hard to listen to. For some of the children, their lunchtime meal would be one of their only meals of the day and this explained why they all ask for seconds!
The food itself was all freshly made and all vegetarian. After trying the plantain soup I can vouch for how delicious it was. The garden they played in also had a mango tree so there were plenty of fresh mangos to be eaten! I loved meeting all the children and being able to get to know them, but after one day I was exhausted so it shows what an amazing job the women that work there full time do - I don't think I could manage it!
My host family
Living with a host family was a great way to be immersed in the Costa Rican way of life. One night they took us to a 'Fiesta' and we spent the night salsa dancing and listening to Spanish music, then on another night we went to the university and helped teach English and we also had three hours of dance lessons! The dancing was so much fun but after three hours I've decided that Latin American dancing isn't really for me!
Week two in Costa Rica
On the Friday we made our way to Barra Honda rainforest, which was the complete opposite to where I spent my first week. It took around one hour to get to the nearest town. The rainforest is such a beautiful place and we were greeted by an iguana when we first arrived. It's such a quiet place that the only noise heard was the howling of the monkeys high in the trees.
The showers were ice cold and often shared with a frog, scorpion or tarantula but after walking four hours up a mountain they were welcomed with open arms. Whilst in the rainforest we did a monkey project where we walked in the forest and found a pack of monkeys and had to observe their behaviour and how it changed. We also planted trees, collected rubbish and recycled it and also did maintenance work of the buildings themselves.
Varnishing a building while in a storm with the sun setting in the background was an amazing experience, as was being woken up at 3am by my friend telling me she has a scorpion attached to her hand! One night we went on a two hour night walk and our guide decided to take the more unknown route, which involved him using his machete and cutting down the way as we went. Standing on top of a mountain in the pitch black with the sounds of coyotes in the background is unforgettable!
Weekend trip
At the weekend we went for an adventure day where we got to go horse riding through the most beautiful forest, rafting alone with only a helmet for protection, zip lining high in the sky with the most stunning view and ending the day with a mud bath in hot springs!
The day we woke up and were given banana pancakes with fresh watermelon for breakfast was the most perfect day, as the only other food eaten for two weeks was rice and beans served with mince, chicken or potatoes.
Costa Rica is such a beautiful country and I absolutely loved my two weeks there. The people I met were amazing and I feel so privileged to have been able to experience what I have and seen the real side to Costa Rica. Pura vida!

Once, it was simple. You took your baby to the pediatrician and he got his shots. But for some years now, a growing number of moms and dads have been struggling with the decision to inoculate or not. They may waver because of the clamor of news reports about possible links between vaccines and terrifying side effects. Or they're put off by the number of shots recommended -- up to 20 before age 2.
Emotions run high for other reasons too. Often, parents who choose not to have their children vaccinated are enraged that public-health policy makes it so difficult to avoid what they see as a dangerous practice. At the same time, those who do get their children inoculated can be just as angry that exposure to unvaccinated kids may raise the risk of disease for their own kids -- indeed, for everyone.
Once, it was simple, but no longer, and many parents are grappling with what they feel is a life-and-death decision.
Margaret Renkl is a contributing editor to Parenting.
Is This Shot Needed Now?
Ten years ago, Lisa of Gulfport, Mississippi, brought her first baby, Helen, home from the hospital. That night, the baby spiked a fever of 102°F. Her pediatrician sent them straight to the emergency room. Tiny Helen was subjected to a spinal tap to rule out meningitis, then hospitalized for three days of intravenous antibiotics in case of blood poisoning.
But Helen had neither meningitis nor sepsis; doctors concluded that she was reacting to the hepatitis B vaccine she'd received in the hospital the day she was born. Though Helen hasn't suffered any long-term ill effects, Everleigh is still angry. "What my baby went through was horrible and completely unnecessary. An infant's chances of contracting hepatitis are nil unless the mother has the disease, and it was highly unlikely I would be a carrier," she says. "So I was kicking myself for not questioning the vaccine. And I was mad at the medical community for recommending it in the first place. My child suffered because of a blanket policy designed to protect a population she doesn't even belong to." With Helen's younger siblings -- Katherine, 6, and Michael, 10 months -- Everleigh was cautious: She let both have the hepatitis B vaccine, but not until they were 2 months old, when a high fever wouldn't be such a medical emergency (they've gotten all their other shots on schedule). Since 1991, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that children get a shot right after birth, since tests for a mom's exposure aren't foolproof.
Jill Scobie of Asheville, North Carolina, avoids nearly all vaccines for her three children except when she believes the risk of serious illness is greater than the risk posed by the vaccine -- as when her 11-year-old daughter visited Latin America with an aunt. Scobie knows several families whose children are suffering from debilitating autoimmune disorders that their parents think were caused by vaccines. Although medical research has shown no connection, she's not convinced. "Infectious-disease experts aren't discussing the risks of long-term effects like arthritis and lupus. They don't treat those diseases, so they're not even on their radar."
Public-health policy in the U.S. doesn't make it easy for moms like Scobie to decide against vaccinations for their kids, says San Diego lawyer Karin Schumacher, a national advocate for the right of parents to refuse vaccines. Requiring vaccinations for enrollment in daycare or grade school effectively eliminates most parents' right to opt out. "It's an insult to parents because it says that the medical community doesn't trust us to make good decisions about our children's health," Schumacher says.
After her own daughter, now 12, suffered a frightening reaction to the DTP (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis) vaccine when she was 2 months old -- a high fever, inconsolable crying, a painful knot at the injection site that lasted for weeks -- Schumacher refused any shots once her daughter turned 1. (DTP has since been replaced by DTaP, which causes far fewer reactions.) "I don't believe the medical community is telling people about the real dangers, and I don't believe society has the right to make me take risks with my child's health for the sake of a perceived benefit to the common good," she says. "I'm obligated to take care of my own child first."
Weighing Risks, Taking Responsibility
Shellie Michael of Nashville didn't give much thought to the question of vaccines when her son, Alec, now 6, was born. A worrier during pregnancy, she was still luxuriating in the relief of her healthy baby's birth when a friend challenged her decision to vaccinate him. The questions the other mom raised threw Michael into a tailspin: "I was tormented by the idea of holding down my baby while the nurse injected him with something that might damage him. But I also worried that if Alec wasn't vaccinated, he might catch a horrible disease. I was terrified by the possibility of making a wrong decision."
Ultimately, Michael decided that her son would be far safer vaccinated than not. She also realized that it wasn't a purely personal decision. "I think that parents have a responsibility to help keep immunization rates high, that the decision can't be only about your own kid. And now, having taken the risk myself, I get upset with parents who don't vaccinate because I feel like they're free riding off me. They can get away without vaccinating because other families are accepting the risks. I'm very bothered by that."
Not surprisingly, parents whose children have gotten sick from unvaccinated playmates feel even more strongly. Thirteen years ago, Mary-Clayton Enderlein, a mom of three in Seattle, contracted whooping cough (pertussis) from the seemingly healthy, unvaccinated baby sister of a friend her son was playing with. She was 38 weeks pregnant. The next week, she came down with a cough so violent, it caused her water to break. But tests came back saying -- falsely, as it turned out -- that she didn't have whooping cough. "Two hours later, my healthy nine-and-a half-pound baby, Colin, was born. The second I kissed him, I gave him whooping cough."
Healthy adults can fight the disease fairly well, but it's life-threatening for infants under 4 months. "It was horrible," Enderlein recalls. "Colin would cough until he turned blue and threw up." He spent ten days in intensive care and was on monitors for a month; for most of his first year, he was frequently sick with respiratory infections.
Even now, Enderlein doesn't believe that parents should be compelled to vaccinate their children, but she does think they should be educated about the risks if they choose not to. "They have to realize the social consequences if they don't vaccinate," she says. "They're making a choice, but the kids they expose their children to don't have that choice. It almost cost Colin his life."
When Mary Catherine Walther, the third of five children in Herndon, Kentucky, was 11 months old, she contracted bacterial meningitis and was hospitalized in critical condition. Her two older siblings had been fully vaccinated, but her mom, Suzanne, had refused the shots for her after a friend warned her about safety concerns. "I found a bunch of homegrown websites that said, 'Look at these beautiful babies. They all died of SIDS because they got their vaccines,'" says Walther. So she decided to postpone Mary Catherine's shots until she was safely past the 12-month mark, when the risk of SIDS ends. But just before her first birthday, Mary Catherine became desperately ill.
For more than a week, Walther didn't know whether her daughter would survive. "At night I walked the halls of the intensive care unit, and I was furious," she says. "I was angry at my friend for suggesting there was a problem with vaccines, at my husband for letting me go along with her, at myself for being arrogant enough to think I knew better than my pediatrician. My baby was suffering from a disease that could have been prevented so easily." Mary Catherine's now a healthy 4-year-old, and both of her younger siblings got all their vaccinations on time.
Living With an Avoidable Tragedy
Two years ago, Shannon Duffy Peterson of Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, lost her first child, Abigale, to an infection that might have been prevented. Her pediatrician assured her that her child didn't need a varicella (chicken pox) vaccine or a pneumococcal vaccine, Peterson has testified before the Minnesota state legislature. (While both of these immunizations are recommended by health experts, not all states legally require them.)
When Abigale was almost 6, she caught a severe case of chicken pox. The disease so weakened her that several months later, she picked up a second infection, a form of pneumonia that the pneumococcal vaccine protects against. She died in her parents' arms on the way to the hospital. Last year, Peterson -- now an advocate for vaccination -- pushed for a law that requires varicella and pneumococcal immunizations for enrollment in daycare or grade school. (It was passed and goes into effect this September.) "No parent should have to go through what we went through," she says. "Our hearts broke the day we lost our daughter."
It's rare that a middle-class family in America faces the loss of a child to an infectious disease. Thanks in part to the CDC's "Vaccines for Children" program, which has been effective in immunizing un- and underinsured kids, the average vaccination rate by the time a child enters kindergarten in this country is 97 percent.
Many parents understand that connection. "I do acknowledge the risks of vaccines," says Barb Waugh, a mom of two fully vaccinated children, ages 6 and 4, in Houston, "but they're minimal compared with the risk of the diseases themselves to public health, and with the risk of my own kids getting sick." Whichever choice a parent makes, she's only doing what all good moms do: trying to protect her child. But in this case, private actions can have public consequences. There's no doubt that a high vaccination rate is one crucial way to keep the nation's kids healthy. In a sense, each decision we make for our own children is a decision for all children.


text: I have read two of very nice tutorials here, viz. 1) http://www.howtoforge.com/installin...tabase-cluster-on-debian-6.0-with-ispconfig-3 by Till 2) http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-m...ns-servers-on-debian-squeeze-with-ispconfig-3 by Michel Both are very nice. Actually I am thinking of using a cluster (like 1 above) with split servers (like in 2) in openvz containers. However, though the tutorial 1 by Till categorically states that it deals with "fail over, load balancing and high availability", but is it only me that I see no such things except syncing with unison /var/mail and /var/www? It would be nice to if someone can exlpain how failover and loadbalancing is possible with two servers (either local or remote) which may look something like this (https://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/ip_failover.xml) ? Thanks in advance.

ASIP.org > Scientific Interest Groups > Vascular and Mucosal Pathobiology
Welcome to the Vascular and Mucosal Pathobiology Scientific Interest Group website!
Tissue injury in response to environmental or pathogenic challenge is associated with an inflammatory response that often occurs at biological interfaces, such as the epithelial barrier and mucosa in the intestinal, respiratory, and urogenital tract, or endothelium in organs and the peripheral vasculature. Regulating the inflammatory response at these interfaces presents special problems because these tissues must maintain vital physiological functions inherent to the cell types that line these biologic surfaces. As such, the complex nature of the mechanisms involved in establishing, maintaining, and repairing these complex biological niches is an area of intense scientific interest that is only beginning to be appreciated. The Vascular And Mucosal Pathobiology Scientific Interest Group (VAMP SIG) is committed to bringing together Investigators, Fellows, and Students who share a passion for epithelial and endothelial cell biology, mucosal inflammation, and immune cell biology.
Establishing our SIG creates a great opportunity to promote among our members a web location for common, in depth scientific discussions of ongoing work, published work, or chit-chat, share protocols and methods, and as an incentive for new collaborations.
The goals of the VAMP Scientific Interest Group are:
Leukocyte extravasation in the inflamed cremaster. Whole mount staining of a TNF-inflamed mouse cremaster muscle. Blood vessels are visualized in green using an anti-PECAM-1 antibody and leukocytes are stained in red using an anti-MRP14 antibody.

Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, Wife Set for Corruption Trial
Couple Is Accused of Accepting Gifts in Exchange for Promoting a Friend's Company
Jury selection is expected to begin Monday in the corruption trial of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, who are accused of accepting more than $160,000 in jewelry, cash, clothing and trips in exchange for promoting a wealthy backer's dietary-supplement business.
The state's former first couple will be tried in federal district court in Richmond, three blocks from the 200-year-old governor's mansion the McDonnells left at the end of the governor's term in January, just before they were indicted on charges...

A magazine salesman who thought he could save his job by writing a fraudulent check to make himself look good in the eyes of his employer has been sent to state prison for two years and four months by a Placer County judge.
The salesman, Joseph Won Lee Jones, 33, stole a blank check from a 71-year-old Auburn resident on Feb. 2 after she invited him into the house and placed a magazine subscription order for $44.
Jones then asked for a glass of water. When the victim left the room to get it for him, Jones went to the woman's checkbook and took a blank check, which he later used to write another magazine order for $396 in an effort to impress his bosses.
Prosecutor Jim Deslaurier of the Placer County District Attorney's Office said the defendant told authorities he was having trouble meeting sales numbers.
"He didn't want to lose his job," Deslaurier said.
When the victim received her bank statement later that month, she noticed the $396 transaction and went to the Auburn Police Department to report the incident. Jones was tracked down to San Bernardino County and was arrested on March 10.
He later entered a plea of no contest to a felony charge of petty theft with a prior offense and of committing a financial crime against an elderly person.
Superior Court Judge Jeff Penney sentenced Jones to prison on Wednesday and ordered him to make restitution of $396 to the victim's bank.
Deslaurier said the District Attorney's Office "takes very seriously any crime in which a perpetrator enters a home, particularly when the victim is an elderly person. We have no tolerance for that."
Deslaurier urged all citizens not to let strangers who are knocking on doors into their homes to conduct business.

Rutgers doubles up Tulane in New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Jawan Jamison ran for a 46-yard touchdown, Brandon Jones returned an interception for a score to lead Rutgers to a 24-12 victory over Tulane on Saturday.
Jamison scored the first points of the game on his long run up the middle with 9:42 left in the second quarter, weaving his way through the Tulane defense.
Tulane managed one sustained drive, settling for a 32-yard field goal at the start of the fourth quarter to pull within 10-6 after moving 69 yards in 17 plays. The next time Tulane had the ball, Jones stepped in front of a pass at the Green Wave 14 and scored easily.
Rutgers tacked on a 43-yard touchdown pass midway through the fourth quarter to make the score 24-6.
Tulane lost its 11th consecutive game dating to last year, its longest losing streak since dropping 16 in a row from 1961-63.
It was the head-coaching debuts for Rutgers' Kyle Flood, who replaced current Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano in January, and Tulane's Curtis Johnson.
Flood was Schiano's assistant head coach the past four seasons before Schiano left for the NFL after 11 years at Rutgers.
Jamison rushed for 112 yards on 18 carries, adding 41 yards on two receptions. Nova struggled for most of the night before his touchdown pass, finishing 11 of 20 for 158 yards.
The Rutgers defense, which returned eight starters after ranking 14th nationally in yards allowed, held Tulane to 262 yards and kept the Green Wave out of the end zone until late in the fourth quarter. Tulane had minus-5 yards rushing in the first half and finished with 8 yards on the ground.
Tulane's Ryan Griffin completed a career-high 34 passes in 48 attempts, but he also was sacked three times and pressured constantly. He threw his only touchdown pass to running back Robert Kelley when the Green Wave trailed 24-6 and the game was out of reach.
Tulane's Ryan Grant led all receivers with six catches for 110 yards.
Rutgers' offense struggled to move consistently, but the Scarlet Knights relied on big plays. That included a 55-yard kickoff return by Jeremy Deering in the final minute of the first half, setting up a 28-yard field goal as time ran out to make the score 10-3.

These beauties were growing in a pot on my back deck. I love the papery white cosmos.
Color. Rich, deep, vibrant color. I translate the ordinary world around me into a fantasy world. My world. Houses, streets, yards, rivers, trees, people, birds, animals. I paint them "as if". As if their pure clear nature was shining through. To me, that is about color. Simple forms and layers of color. Ordinary everyday images from my life, but not muffled by reality. Not complicated by the grimy detail of life. I paint until I feel I could dive in to the image. Swim around in lakes of color. Comfortable, familiar, light.

This group set came on this bike from new and originally came from a seller in Belgium. When I saw the frame and group set, I thought, here is something I can build up to serve as my race bike whilst I restore my 1984 Apollo VI race bike.
The frame was a hot pink "Super BH" with Superbe Pro decals on it. The original SLX tube type set sticker was still on the frame but there was a dent and a slight bend in the top tube. It seemed to have taken a wack from side on to cause the bend in the top tube. So I knew the frame would require repair and was not put off by this as steel frames are very repairable.
For a few months I pondered over paint colours and paint layup design. I was settled on the fact that it would be reborn as a Cinelli as it has all of the Cinelli features less the Cinelli Supercorsa style seat stay clamp set up. All of the lugs are stamped with the Cinelli logo, it has the Cinelli "foil" type bottom bracket, SLX tube, Cinelli logo stamping in the beautiful "flame"fork crown and has Columbus drop-outs in frame and fork.
After the frame was stipped and the top tube replaced with Columbus SL (10gr difference over SLX), the frame was taken to have the original chrome plating stripped of it. Disaster! The cyanide solution into which the frame was placed, dissolved the bosses and cable runners and etched into the brazing on some of the joins. More repair work was required to make good the damage so it was back to the frame repairer. Once repaired, the areas of the frame and fork, to be rechromed, was eventually refinished. The frame was then back to the frame repairer for repainting. For this I supplied the paint codes so that nothing was left to chance. I also supplied the Cinelli decal set which I was able to get from NSW. Time passed and the frame was eventually completed.
In the meantime, I set about replacing with new old stock some of the components to finish the bike to my satisfaction. I acquired a new SSP Italian threaded bottom bracket set and a new set of SSP Accushift 6/7 speed shifters, new Selle Italia saddle, new chain, new Nitto Olympiade 115 bars and I transferred the Look Keo Blade Ti pedals from my Apollo VI.
As a fan of SSP components and Suntour freewheels, I installed a new 13-18 freewheel to the hubs which still spin so smoothly they are nothing short of magnificent.
I finally picked up the finished frame and was delighted to see it painted again and thrilled by my colour scheme not to mention the quality of the job.
The build began and nothing was hurried. This was a ritual, a time for paying homage
and taking pleasure in the quality of the pieces I had before me. Much has been written about the Suntour Superbe Pro quality but until you hold it in your hands and are appreciative of the quality of design, function, manufacture and finish you will never really know how fine that group set was/is.The build ritual took a few weeks. It was then time to take it for a test ride. I instantly took a liking to the indexed gears as I had only ever used friction up to that point (early 2013). The bike felt swift and very, very smooth – different to my Apollo VI.
I enjoy riding this bike very much and it always gets comment of admiration on race days. I often get remarks, "you still race it though" as if it should be in a glass cabinet. But putting it simply, I believe a beautiful bike deserves to spend time in the sun for all to enjoy.

Sod 'em. It's a bit like people trying to impress me with their latest gadget or doo-dad. I am quietly thinking to myself; "You just bought it. You didn't design and build it". Your bike shows an investment of not just money, but love as well.

Am glad you have joined BNA and are sharing your pics. As I've said before, the Cinelli looks simply stunning, and I'd never know it was the same bike I inspected last year! I didn't remember you had the problems with resto that you mention above. That must have been heart breaking. I also have new respect for you...the patience to stick with rebirthing a bike would be beyond me....but obviously the results justify it. Makes me wonder whether your children will cherish it the way you did.
You obviously have a long and deep knowledge of dealing with metals and mechanicals. From what I know about you, it started in the back yard shed with your talented brothers, under the guidance of your talented dad! And I'd bet there's someone on the forum that knows your BMX champion brother and his sons.
Anyway, hope your fitness and racing continues to improve. I did a C grade crit today...my top power is off due to Calorie deficit...so settled to be a lead out in the final lap. Am doing a 100k tomorrow with 5 others, over Tamborine and up to Binna Burra, behind the Gold Coast. It's a beautiful ride.

A few words of advice on chrome plating based on my own experience. If a frame has been chrome plated before and is in need of re-doing, expect problems if it has to be chemically stripped as the cyanide solution will attack any of the exposed bronze alloy. That will happen at any electoplating shop so you must talk to them and make them aware of your requirements. Metal polishers at electroplating shops will not be fastidious about carefully preparing such damage before hitting it with a polishing buff. I can tell you from trade experience that deep scratches are removed with finer scratches, then finer again, and again before hitting them with course polishing compound, then finer compound and finally burnishing for the finest finish possible. However, if you have a frame which has not been chrome plated before, it probably won't need to go into a cyanide bath. If you wish to chrome plate something for the first time, you can have control over the preparation of the metal before it gets polished. Ask the appropriate questions to ensure you will be getting what you want.
On the paint job, You can't really see the effect of the paint in the photos until the bike is in the sunshine. The dark red is a Ford colour: Sparkling Burgundy; the white is a Subaru colour: Satin white pearl. The motor industry has some fabulous colours. Most dealer spare parts counters are happy to give you the code of a colour if you can give the an accurate paint name such as those above. otherwise, go to your local wrecker and look at the colours of wrecked cars and get the paint code from the VIN plate.
I get a lot of pleasure racing the Cinelli and I know that when I am in top form, I am very competitive on it too. Gives those on 10K carbon bikes something to think about. Any placing is very hard won as I'm sure guys don't like to be beaten by someone on a classic steel bike (such as my rusty old Apollo VI) so they try extra hard!!

If I were you I wouldn't, because you'd park the down shifter bikes in seconds. I've just spent three months riding a Superbe Pro drive train with Simplex Retro Friction shifters and love it ........ but when I got back on my Campag 9 speed a week ago. Holly sh#t, I'd forgotten just how much better Ergo shifters were. It's just so easy, comfortable and seamless. I'm afraid there's no competition. Looks like I'm ebaying a bit of gear soon.

By the time I'm ready to move onto something newer than what I have now, shifter systems will probably be telepathic!
For the racing I do on this bike, it's more about the engine, less about the bike. Having said that, this ol' engine could do with a good tune up!
I find that racing with down tube shifters doesn't make that much of a difference as I have always compensated for rushed the gear change by spinning up a higher cadence before going for the next gear. I believe the greatest difference for me at least if I was to ride a good quality carbon frame with ergo shifters would be the benefit of a more responsive frame essentially for sprinting and surges with ergo shifters having a benefit perhaps for convenience but at my level not so significant.
Starting to sound like you're preaching to the unconverted!

I know where your coming from here. I'm into Italian motorbikes and every one I've bought in the last 10 years is older than the last. You find where your comfortable and stay there....... for a while at least. Just don't take up any offers to try out a modern bike. You'll be rooted then.

I found out how to find him via ebay but I've done nothing about it. Do a few of us want to pool together and see if he makes them? I could also do with some non-aero Supebe ones as well.
Otherwise I have no idea where to get real hoods from.

Cherry Adventure
Added Aug 9, 2013
Mykolayv, Ukraine
A safari blouse or shirt, very loose and comfortable. As it is made of thin natural material it is nice for hot weather; as the material is bright, it catches the eye both with the colour and huge pockets: I guess one can use them instead of a rucksack:)
Besides a ready blouse, I also want to show some technological peculiarities to have at hand if anybody wants to do this.
First, as the material is quite transparent and here we have only black and white vlieseline, I refused from facing and changed it for one-piece bands.
Then, of the same reason, when making flaps and a collar I had to cut three details of each to double the face / upper parts not to make the interfacing seen.
Work with the pockets before making side seams. To keep the shape of the pocket pleats, I sewed their inside folds.
And because of the front edge changes, the technology of sewing the collar changed, too. So here I tried to show the way I managed it.
And, probably, the last:) If you are going to wear the sleeves exactly in the way it's shown in the magazine ( as for me I do no doubt, just trust me – other way isn't nice ), I recommend to process the rolling up in a very simple but special method ( I added the technique separately ).

I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I have an Atom 330-based tiny computer which I use as my HTPC. It performed its job fine running Windows 7 and Boxee, and over the past few months, it ran Mac OS X Leopard with Plex. Now, however, I want to try Linux as an HTPC operating system, but I kind of ran into a roadblock there with Ubuntu 9.10 - so the question is: what is a good HTPC Linux distribution?

How they missed this bug?
Simple: Time based releases!
If you have a release date, you are always going to have a huge number of bugs, that is simply unavoidable.
The last Debian STABLE (lenny) was released, when the number of release critical bugs was just less than 100. Now imagine how many more bugs a distro must necessarily ship with, if debian sid is taken as a base and 6 Months of bugfixing goes into the system.
You might have hardware which works like a breeze, then it's a very fine system. If you don't have this hardware, you are out of luck.
In this case it seems like buggy Intel drivers are a major cause of pain.

Beyond the Black Rainbow (US - BD RA)
Gabe watches the meltiest, grainiest sequel to Wizard of Oz ever made...
Deep within the walls of the mysterious Arboria Institute, a beautiful young girl named Elena (Eva Allan) is held captive in a glass cage by a deranged scientist named Dr. Barry Nyle (Michael Rogers). Here, she's only able to wait silently while Dr. Nyle controls her mind with sinister, abstract technology. Meanwhile, the insane doctor's personal life and the history of the Institute are unraveled.
A few times every year, a film comes down the pike that is so bizarre and niche it garners my complete attention, whether it deserves it or not. Often, these films try too hard or are lacking the genuine novelty required to maintain my attention and I find myself disappointed. But the day I stop allowing myself to get excited by the prospect of something unique is the day I give in to mundanity like Grown Ups and Paul Blart: Mall Cop. The latest of these cinematic oddities made odd seemingly for the sake of oddness, Beyond the Black Rainbow, comes out of the Great White North of Canada – an area not known for their weirdness of late, outside of David Cronenberg, of course. First time feature writer/director Panos Cosmatos has made an arthouse thriller that could fit perfectly in the neo-grindhouse tradition. The film's extreme visuals remind me more of the work of Alejandro Jodorowsky and Ken Russell, but the dreamscape storytelling styles are closer to the aforementioned Cronenberg, specifically his early shorts ( Stereo and Crimes of the Future) and his technical nightmare, Videodrome. Cosmatos also clearly drew inspiration from George Lucas' THX 1138, along with other oddball, cyberpunk flicks like Richard Stanley's Hardware and the king of all style-over-substance sci-fi features, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner.
Though obviously more experimental than strictly 'entertaining,' Beyond the Black Rainbow is yet another entry on a long-running list of recent genre films that pay fetishistic homage to genre films of the '70s and '80s. Cosmatos' film takes place almost entirely in the shadow of other motion pictures – even taking steps to set his film in the year 1983 (which he tells us via an Alien-esque title card) where he can afford to decorate everything in the most hideous, Kubrick-chic, futurist furnishings. The film doesn't exactly recreate the basic plot of any specific genre offering, but the Cronenbergian elements definitely extend to the narrative subject matter, which is born of the mock-New Age psychology/philosophy of films, like The Brood and Videodrome. The film even opens with a faux commercial for the Arboria Institute (which otherwise has little baring on the plot), much like the opening ad for the high-rise in Shivers. Following about an hour of threadbare, vaguely psychological thriller trappings, the third act then turns into a sort of diseased blend of Brian DePalma, Dario Argento, and Ridley Scott, completed with more shades of Kubrick that finally earns the film's R-rating. Perhaps most endearing is the way the film recreates the hallucinatory qualities of genre B-movies that were only particularly hallucinatory, because they lacked the budget to compete with studio releases; films like Allan Holzman's Forbidden World, Aaron Lipstadt Android, and Ralph Nelson's Embryo.
Above homage, however, Cosmatos seems to have made Beyond the Black Rainbow as an elongated excuse to play with film imagery. At the risk of selling the film short, I imagine it will become a bit of a cult hit with potheads and folks a penchant for dropping acid at the movies. I don't really know anything about the process of doing psychedelic drugs, but I could guess that they take about 45-50 minutes to work, because that's when shit gets really wacky here. Otherwise, there should probably be a counter at the bottom of the screen that announces the appropriate time for the audience to eat their peyote. Cosmatos' film has the added benefit of not being particularly heavy with social, political, or religious metaphors (at least none I was able to discern), which keeps it from feeling particularly pretentious, unlike, say, E. Elias Merhige's Begotten or Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain (both great movies that turn off many viewers with their obvious subtexts). There's an appropriate air of menace in the experimentation, often due to the weird visuals, but Michael Rogers' stiff, controlled performance and the pointedly mundane dialogue play their part as well. Often Cosmatos' use of in-camera trickery turns silly, but his steadfast devotion to being trippy over sensible keeps the film somewhat anchored. I often found myself falling out of the intended hypnotic state and giggling at the sterile seriousness of pseudo-analysis and lack of actual content, but it was never too long before I drifted back into the intended dream state. In the end, I was most pleasantly surprised by how quickly the film moves, despite the general lack of stuff happening. There are some major dips in pace, yes, but these are usually spiked by the few bits of actual plotting that helps to keep things moving into increasingly arbitrary arenas.
Beyond the Black Rainbow was shot on 35mm and is presented here on Blu-ray in full 1080p, 2.35:1 widescreen. Cosmatos and cinematographer Norm Li fully embrace the analogue format's grain and other idiosyncrasies as part of their throwback style. In fact, the film is often so grainy that it's hard to believe it wasn't actually shot in 16mm. Cosmatos and Li even embrace the shutter effects of analogue equipment (which might actually induce seizures in epileptic viewers) and allow their colours to bleed chemically into each other. Consistently dirty source artefacts aside (which occasionally include scan lines and scratches in an effort to make the film appear older than it is), this Blu-ray transfer does a great job doling out the occasionally razor-sharp details. Usually this pertains to extreme facial and prop close-ups, as backgrounds are artfully obscured by shallow focus or harsh darkness. The chemically altered colours do bleed into each other a whole lot and also tend to fade into the edges of the screen, but the most important edges are plenty tight without any major haloing effects. Again, it should be clear that 'messy' is the intended look and the real beauty of this HD transfer is found in the way it clearly captures these inconsistencies and effectively contrasts them against each other. The utter vibrancy of some of the hues is also quite impressive, especially the flat red that often engulfs the entire screen. Black levels tend to get a bit of a shaft, thanks to all the grain and bleeding elements, but are plenty deep when specifically 'important' to the mise-en-scène. There's a great shot around the 30-minute mark that starts a character in almost total blackness, then moves her through natural and unnatural coloured lights. Here, the differentiations can be properly experienced.
Beyond the Black Rainbow's audio design matches the trippy extremes of the visuals and this uncompressed DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack does a fine job reveling in the weirdness. For much of the film there's no discerning sound effects from Jeremy Schmidt's throwback keyboard score (which the advertising materials proudly mark as analogue, not[/]I digital). The throb of synth hits the LFE hard and often envelopes the stereo and surround channels in the form of swirling directional work and subtler reverb design. The melodic pieces of score are few and far between, but definitely aim to please the Goblin and John Carpenter fans in the house. Vocal effects range from natural to heavily effect-altered. When presented naturally, the performances are well-centered and clean, which makes a nice contrast to the wacky directionally enhanced bits. The audio design makes good use of dynamic ranges as well and might shock some viewers with exactly how loud it can get. The jittery and throbbing bits are truly transformative, making the viewer feel the same disorientation the on-screen characters are often experiencing.
The extras are extremely brief including a deleted special effect ('ballistic head dissolve,' 3:21, HD), a trailer, and trailers for other Magnolia/Magnet releases. I know I could've done with [I]some information on the production, but I suppose there's also something to be said for a continuing air of mystery.
I'm afraid the singular experience of Beyond the Black Rainbow may be limited to the time spent physically watching the film, as I'm already forgetting much of what happened as I wrap up this review, but it's still something of a singular experience and one I mostly enjoyed. I believe other fans of weirdo cinema will enjoy the experience too, especially if they're up for recognizing all of writer/director Panos Cosmatos' many inspirations. This Blu-ray release accurately portrays the film's rough, grainy look and the DTS-HD MA soundtrack makes great use of its analogue sound. The lack of extras is a bummer, but not entirely an unexpected one.

Here is an alternative method for subtracting fractions that have a different denominator.
Hi BT;
That is a cool idea!
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
As a teacher I have mixed view on this method.
I only use it as a last resort for these reasons:
a) Although your pupils will be able to get the correct answer they will not understand what they have done.
b) As you don't always use the lowest common multiple it is not always the most efficient method.
c) When subtracting the pupils have to remember which numerator to subtract from the other, they always get this wrong if the answer happens to be negative!
Having said this, when you have tried and tried to teach with understanding and their exam is approaching fast, I must admit to have used this as a quick win!

The Internal Revenue Service singled out conservative political groups for additional scrutiny of their tax-exempt status during the 2012 election, which conservative groups say is proof that the IRS has been unfairly targeting them.
About 75 organizations with "tea party" or "patriot" in their tax-exemption applications received extra review during a broader screening process of political advocacy groups, said Lois Lerner, who oversees the tax-exemption division at the IRS.
"That was wrong. That was absolutely incorrect, it was insensitive, and it was inappropriate," Ms. Lerner said Friday at a conference sponsored by the American Bar Association. "That's not how we go about selecting cases for further review. The IRS would like to apologize for that."
Low-level employees in Cincinnati initiated the practice to deal with an influx of tax-exemption applications between 2010 and 2012, Lerner said.
"Mistakes were made initially, but they were in no way due to any political or partisan rationale," said the IRS in a statement. "We fixed the situation last year and have made significant progress in moving the centralized cases through our system."
Conservative groups accused the IRS of targeting them during the 2012 election by sending additional questionnaires for their applications. So for them, the IRS apology is too little, too late.
"The IRS has demonstrated the most disturbing, illegal and outrageous abuse of government power," Jenny Beth Martin, national coordinator for Tea Party Patriots, said in a statement. "This deliberate targeting and harassment of Tea Party groups reaches a new low in illegal government activity and overreach."
Top Republican lawmakers are calling for a White House investigation into the agency.
"Today, I call on the White House to conduct a transparent, government-wide review aimed at assuring the American people that these thuggish practices are not underway at the IRS or elsewhere in the administration against anyone, regardless of their political views," said Sen. Mitch McConnell (R) of Kentucky in a statement.
Rep. Charles Boustany (R) of Louisiana told The Hill that he wanted the IRS to hand over the names of the employees involved with the matter.
"My greatest concern is what would have come from this blatant abuse of power if Ways and Means, as well as others, had not spoken up and stepped in to question the IRS about these activities," said Representative Boustany, who brought up the issue in hearings of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Oversight last year.
The IRS is an independent enforcement agency, with only two political appointees, said White House press secretary Jay Carney during a press conference Friday. The director during the time of the inappropriate activity – former Commissioner Douglas Shulman – was appointed by President George W. Bush.
"If this inappropriate activity did take place, the president would want it to be thoroughly investigated," Mr. Carney said.
During the campaign, liberal groups thought that the IRS was not doing enough to review groups applying for tax-exempt status.
"That's the most interesting thing about this: They were actually doing it," Kenneth Gross, a campaign-finance law expert and former counsel of the Federal Election Commission, told ABC News.
The IRS apology could affect future regulations of political, tax-exempt groups, said Nick Nyhart, president and CEO of Public Campaign in Washington, which advocates campaign-finance reform.
"There are legitimate questions to be asked about political groups that are hiding behind a 501(c)4 status," Mr. Nyhart said in a statement. "It's unfortunate a few bad apples at the IRS will make it harder for those questions to be asked without claims of bias."

Property Tax Millage Rate: Average Tax Rates on Real &Public Utility Tangible Personal Property, by County, for Taxes Collected in Calendar Year 2011
Table PR-6 shows average property tax rates for taxes due in calendar year 2011 in each of Ohio's counties. The rates reflect all levies by all jurisdictions (school district, county, municipality, etc.) for property located in each county. The calculated tax rates are shown for three separate classifications: Class I Real (residential and agricultural), Class II Real (commercial, industrial, mineral, and public utility) and Public Utility Tangible Personal Property. Rates are expressed in mills; a mill is equivalent to $1 per $1,000 of taxable value.
Gross and net tax rates are shown for the two major classes of real property. The gross rates are the actual rates applied to the real property values. The net rates are the rates after applying the percentage reductions on taxes levied required by Section 319.301(D) of the Ohio Revised Code (these percentage reductions are generally referred to as "tax reduction factors"). The rates were computed prior to any reduction of real property taxes resulting from the 10 percent rollback for all real property, the 2.5 percent rollback for residential property, or the homestead exemption. Unlike real property, only the gross rate is applied to public utility tangible personal property.
Average tax rates were calculated by dividing tax year 2010 property taxes by tax year 2010 property values. The statewide average gross real property tax rate for taxes collected in calendar year 2011 was 88.65 for residential and agricultural property (Class I), and 90.99 mills for public utility, commercial, industrial and mineral property (Class II). The statewide average net real property tax rate for taxes collected in calendar year 2011 was 58.91 mills for Class I, and 67.5 mills for Class II. The statewide average public utility tangible personal property tax rate was 76.45.
Cuyahoga County had the highest gross real property tax rates (both Class I and Class II), the highest net Class I real property tax rate and the highest public utility tangible personal property tax rate in the state while Montgomery County had the highest net Class II real property tax rate in the state. Lawrence County had the lowest property tax rates in the state for all categories.
Data for this table were taken from abstracts filed by county auditors with the Ohio Department of Taxation.

5.5 Teaching the Gospel
Effective gospel teaching helps people grow in their testimonies and their faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. It strengthens members in their efforts to live according to gospel principles. When God's word is taught with spiritual power, it has a "more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than … anything else" (Alma 31:5). Priesthood and auxiliary leaders encourage effective teaching in their organizations. They remember that Church members attend meetings seeking the power, peace, and inspiration provided by the word of God.
Bishop and His Counselors
The bishop and his counselors teach the gospel by the power of the Spirit and by personal example. They direct the ward council's efforts to ensure that teaching in the ward is edifying and doctrinally correct.
Ward Council
Under the direction of the bishopric, members of the ward council regularly counsel together about how to improve gospel learning and teaching in the ward. The bishop may invite the Sunday School president to lead these discussions and provide instruction.
Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders
Priesthood and auxiliary leaders strive to teach the gospel effectively. They are also responsible for efforts to improve learning and teaching in their organizations. In these efforts, they may counsel with the ward Sunday School presidency.
Recommending Members to Serve as Teachers
Priesthood and auxiliary leaders submit recommendations to the bishopric for ward members to be called to serve as teachers in their organizations. Leaders should recommend teachers who will strive to prepare lessons that will inspire class members to live according to gospel principles. In doing so, they follow the principles in 19.1.1 and 19.1.2.
Orienting Newly Called Teachers
Priesthood and auxiliary leaders meet individually with newly called teachers in their organizations, preferably before each teacher's first lesson. In these meetings, leaders orient teachers as follows:
They help teachers begin to become acquainted with class members, if needed. They give teachers a list of the class members and encourage teachers to learn class members' names. They also encourage teachers to build caring relationships with class members.
They help teachers understand how to use Teaching, No Greater Call. They give each teacher a copy of the book and share a brief overview of its contents.
As needed, they help teachers understand how to prepare a lesson. They give teachers the approved curriculum materials for their classes and explain how to use them. They also review the article titled "Preparing Lessons" on pages 98–99 in Teaching, No Greater Call. (For a list of approved curriculum materials and instructions on how to order them, see the current Instructions for Curriculum.)
Providing Ongoing Support for Teachers
Priesthood and auxiliary leaders develop a supportive and caring relationship with teachers. After their initial orientation meeting, leaders regularly meet with individual teachers to learn of the teachers' needs, discuss the needs of those they teach, and review the principles outlined in this section. They encourage teachers to set goals according to the article titled "Making a Plan to Improve Your Teaching" on pages 24–27 in Teaching, No Greater Call.
Ensuring That Teaching Is Edifying and Doctrinally Correct
Priesthood and auxiliary leaders carefully observe the learning and teaching during Sunday classes and other lessons. Leaders who do not regularly attend each class, such as members of the Sunday School and Primary presidencies, arrange with teachers to attend the classes occasionally. Based on their observations, leaders counsel with teachers on how to improve the learning in the classes.
Leaders ensure that teachers use the scriptures, the teachings of latter-day prophets, and
Teachers and Leaders
As teachers and leaders teach the gospel, they are guided by the following principles.
Love Those You Teach
Teachers and leaders show love and sincere concern for those they teach. They learn class members' names. They review attendance information so they can be aware of class members who are not attending regularly. They may contact these members outside of class to encourage them in their participation.
Teach by the Spirit
Teachers and leaders seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost in preparing and teaching lessons. They seek this guidance by praying and humbly recognizing their dependence on the Lord. During lessons, they invite the Spirit by bearing testimony of the doctrines they teach.
Teach the Doctrine
Teachers and leaders use the scriptures, the teachings of latter-day prophets, and approved curriculum materials to teach and testify of the doctrines of the gospel. Approved curriculum materials for each class or quorum are listed in the current Instructions for Curriculum. As needed, teachers and leaders supplement curriculum materials with Church magazines, particularly the general conference issues of the Ensign and Liahona.
Invite Diligent Learning
Teachers and leaders encourage class members to be responsible for their own gospel learning as individuals, in their families, and during class instruction. They encourage class members to bring their own copies of the scriptures to class where possible. Teachers and leaders provide opportunities for class members to actively participate in discussions, and they invite class members to live the gospel and receive the promised blessings.
Ward Sunday School President and His Counselors
Members of the ward Sunday School presidency serve as resources to help other leaders with efforts to strengthen gospel learning and teaching. They may be invited to assist leaders in orienting, instructing, and providing ongoing support for teachers.
Printed and Online Resources for Learning and Teaching
To help members improve in learning and teaching the gospel, the Church provides two publications: Teaching, No Greater Call and the Teaching Guidebook. These resources are available in print and on LDS.org. Other resources are also available on LDS.org.
Course on Teaching the Gospel
The bishopric and the ward council may periodically decide to hold the Teaching the Gospel course in the ward. This course can benefit current teachers and help prepare future teachers. The course is usually held during Sunday School. The lessons for the course are found on pages 186–239 of Teaching, No Greater Call. The bishopric assigns the Sunday School presidency to teach the course or calls another member to do so.
Stake President and His Counselors
The stake president and his counselors teach the gospel by the power of the Spirit and by personal example. They direct efforts to ensure that teaching in the stake is edifying and doctrinally correct.
