Winter running top & disco leggings
Added Dec 20, 2012
London, United K...
For my first cross country race amongst the short shorts and club vests of the Proper Running Clubs, I wanted something that would stand out and show that my Run dem Crew group was not the same as them! Being the middle of December, I needed a long sleeved top to layer under my RDC vest, and I made my leggings with disconium fabric down the outer legs to really stand out. Additionally, I modified the sleeved to create "mitts" to flip over my hands and keep them warm for the start of my winter runs (you can see my pattern alteration for this here ).

Material Notes
Eggplant and black Suziplex from Suzi Spandex in Montreal, plus Betabrand disconium for the outer legs.

History will be made in Super Bowl XLVII.
History will be made in Super Bowl XLVII.
It will mark the first time that a pair of brothers will face off as head coaches on the NFL's grandest stage.
In one corner, it will be John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens, while the other corner features his younger brother, Jim Harbaugh, of the San Francisco 49ers.
It's a great story, and one has to wonder which son their parents will root for on Super Bowl Sunday.
But that is not the story line most New Orleans Saints fans were hoping for.
Instead, Saints fans wanted a different first to be made for Super Bowl XLVII. They wanted the Saints to be the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium.
Coming off a 13-3 season in 2011, it seemed like a distinct possibility for the Saints. But all of those dreams came crashing down after the Saints were caught up in a bounty scandal that resulted in numerous suspensions, including a season-long one for head coach Sean Payton.
It was too much for the Saints to overcome, as they struggled to a 7-9 record. There would be no playoffs and no chance for a "home" Super Bowl game for the Saints.
So, who is to blame for the Saints failing to make history?
The majority of the blame goes to the entire Saints organization for failing to stop the alleged pay-for-performance incentive plan when they were asked to do so.
But ask any Saints fan, and the blame falls on one person — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. He was the individual that handed down the punishment that proved to be the detriment for the 2012 season.
Since then, Goodell has been public enemy No. 1 in the eyes of many Saints fans.
For many, Goodell is not welcome in the Crescent City. But next week, Saints fans may have to swallow their pride, as Goodell will be in town for Super Bowl XLVII.
Goodell will do more than attend the game and other NFL activities associated with the Super Bowl. He will be staying in a New Orleans hotel. He will be eating at New Orleans restaurants. He will be spending some time enjoying the activities that makes New Orleans one of the United States' most unique cities.
Saints fans may not want to hear this, but everyone needs to be on their best behavior for the Super Bowl, especially when dealing with Goodell. We need to welcome him into our great city with open arms because anything less would dampen our reputation as one of America's most hospitable cities.
If Saints fans still hold a grudge and try to spoil Goodell's experience, it could do some long-term damage, such as making it harder for the city to host another Super Bowl.
It's time for Saints fans to swallow their pride for a few days and welcome Goodell and the NFL into New Orleans.
Many people are working hard to make sure that Super Bowl XLVII becomes an experience for those who attend, including Goodell, will never forget.
Also remember that it could have been worse. It could have been the Atlanta Falcons and their fans invading the city for Super Bowl XLVII.

Quality management systems can become cumbersome and bureaucratic if not properly developed, implemented and maintained. Effective quality management systems have ten common characteristics that I have discovered in my consulting practice over the past couple of decades. These common denominators of quality management, when properly implemented, can improve your organization's ability to satisfy customer and manage your processes and products more effectively. These ten common denominators are relevant and applicable for organizations seeking ISO 9001, AS 9100, ISO 13485 or TS 16949 registration.
1. A process is in place to ensure the needs and expectations of customers and other interested parties are clearly defined.
2. The quality policy and quality objectives are defined, deployed throughout the organization and understood by employees at all levels.
3. Processes are documented in simple to use procedures that are up to date and controlled while responsibilities of personnel are established and followed up on to achieve objectives.
4. Resources to meet objectives are identified and provided. Resources include people, processes, equipment and infrastructure.
5. Metrics are established and monitored for each process. The old adage, "If it is not worth measuring, it is not worth doing," is certainly true for business processes. When a process is not monitored and measured, how can leaders know if it is producing the desired outcomes? Many organizations fail to establish criteria for monitoring and measuring processes and as a result inefficiencies are rampant and it is very difficult to implement corrective actions that really work.
6. Management is committed to using the metrics for process improvements and for communications within the organization as well as for holding people accountable for their performance. Accountability is dependent upon two factors: 1)the people know what is expected and 2), the leaders follow-up to insure people do what is expected.
7. A process is in place for preventing non-conforming product or services and in the event non-conforming the situation is documented and corrective actions taken. In the case of non-conforming product, the process provides for identification and segregation to prevent it from getting to a customer.
8. Continual improvement is a priority and simple approaches are implemented to involve people throughout the organization in identifying continual improvement opportunities.
9. A framework for verification of processes and products is in place and functioning as planned. This includes internal audits of the processes as well as product quality verification at various stages of production.
10. Management is involved in the system and reviews the entire system at appropriate intervals to insure the system is functioning as planned, is effective for the business and is being maintained.
A quality management system built on these ten foundational principles will give your business a competitive advantage and should not be a bureaucratic nightmare.

Just Life: Bad breeders and stupid parents
Why is it that people have to take a tst to drive a car and absolutely anyone can become a parent? Teachers spend hours and hours learning the best ways to teach our kids how make a positive difference in our world yet some of the parents of the kids they teach have no right to be raising children in the first place.
As I was browsing the Internet deciding what my topic was going to be for this week's column, I came across a news piece which literally had me in tears by the time I finished watching these stupid, stupid parents.
On Yahoo Shine, there was a video showing the silent footage from a Laundromats security camera. At first nothing seems amiss but then a father, if you can call him that, picks up a small child and shoves him head first into a front-loading washer, and shuts the door. The article on Shine goes on to say that the father and the mom seem amused at first, but panic quickly sets in when they realize that they can't get the washer door open. It's locked automatically, and the child is trapped inside as the washer starts to run.
I watched as the child tumbled helplessly, trapped in the machine, water pouring in, while the parents struggled with the locked door and then went to search for help. Finally, an attendant runs over and disables the machine. It takes a few more seconds to get the door open and the child out.
Are you kidding me?!?! Lucky for the stupid parents who put their child in the washing machine that Yahoo Shine did not release their names or the name of the Laundromat. What if it wasn't even their child? What if they were babysitting a sibling's child? How are they going to explain that to the other family members who are wondering how the little person got all those bruises and bumps? Idiots.
No one really knows if the New Jersey "Tanning Mom" really took her daughter into the tanning booth with her because several stories have surfaced and all have contradictions. However, the story remains that the little redheaded 5-year-old daughter did get sunburn from somewhere. Even if it was not in mommy's tanning booth, parents should know better. Natural born redheads have a history of being sensitive to the sun. Keep your daughter out of the harmful sun, mom! Idiot.
And then there is the disgusting mother from Upland, Neb., who apparently was so broke that she decided to sell her two daughters—ages 7 and 14—for sex, so she could pay her bills. When I read the story of what the mother did to her two daughters, I wanted to throw up. She has damaged her daughters for life.
I am not by far the perfect parent (like my mother was) but what happened to common sense when it comes to some of the things that parents do to their kids? It's become such a national and probably international problem that there is actually a website called BadBreeders.com. It is run by Trench Reynolds who has this to say about his site: "…this blog chronicles the worst in what some call parenting. In my opinion the people in these stories don't deserve to be called parents, hence the term breeders, because it seems they just breed children and do not raise them properly."
I'm happy to say that most of the parents I know personally are amazing. I also want to say that if you see a parent acting badly toward a child and in a way that harm may come to that child ... call 911!
And if you are reading this and you are here in the Eastern Sierra, call Wild Iris. There is absolutely no excuse for child abuse of any kind.

So I set myself the task of picking five great works of software. The criteria were simple: How long had it been around? Did people directly interact with it every day? Did people use it to do something meaningful? I came up with the office suite Microsoft Office, the image editor Photoshop, the videogame Pac-Man, the operating system Unix, and the text editor Emacs.
Each person has his or her own criteria for these sorts of things, but in my view, this list is woefully inadequate. If it were up to me, I would pick these, in no particular order:
- A-0 System: the first ever compiler, written by Grace Hopper in 1951 and 1952, for the UNIVAC I.
- UNIX: This one's a given.
- WorldWideWeb/CERN HTTPd: the first web browser and the first web server, both written by Tim Berners-Lee. Also a given.
- Xerox Star: this one is actually a tie between the Star, its research predecessor the Alto, and Douglas Engelbart's NLS. These three combined still define the way we do computing today - whether you look at a desktop, a smartphone, or a tablet. I decided to go with the Star because it was the only one of the three that was commercially available, and because it's so incredibly similar to what we still use today.
- Windows: you cannot have a list of the greatest software of all time without Windows. You may not like it, you may even hate it, but the impact Windows has had on the computing world - and far, far beyond that - is immense. Not including it is a huge disservice to the operating system that put a computer on every desk, in every home.
This leaves a whole bunch of others out, such as Lotus 1-2-3, DOS, the Mac OS, Linux, and god knows what else - but such is the nature of lists like this.
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
To call that thing with the Golden Arches a Restaurant is an insult to almost every other establishment that uses that name on the planet.
The same goes for BK, KFC etc.
They are all in the same category as the Burger Van at a IndyCar meeting.
That does digress from the thread.
Windows copied lots from VMS. They got caught nicking stuff and had to pay (if my memory serves me right) about a Billion in damages. Then they hired Cutler and a few more from DEC. IMO there is no way Windows should be on the list. It is nothing more than a badly cobbled together POS. Sadly most of us have to use it on a daily basis but that latter reason is nowhere near good enough to get it included in this list.

Dale Granted comeback victory
Rochdale came from a goal down to secure a 2-1 win against Bristol Rovers, who finished the game with just nine men.
The visitors took the lead in the 13th minute from the penalty spot following a clumsy challenge by Peter Cavanagh on David Clarkson, who duly punished the hosts by rifling home the spot kick.
Rovers keeper Neil Ethridge did his best to keep Rochdale at bay as the home side responded positively to conceding with Phil Edwards, Andrew Tutte and Terry Gornell all frustrated by the Pirates stopper.
But the hosts deservedly levelled in the 27th minute when Jason Kennedy's corner was dummied by Phil Edwards and lashed home by Tutte.
Gornell forced another fine save out of Ethridge before the interval and Rochdale continued to press after the break. Kennedy shot over from an angle before Bobby Grant fired them ahead, his curling shot taking a deflection off Rovers' substitute Fabien Broghammer to lift it over Ethridge and into the net.
If that left the visitors deflated, they were sunk further by Gary Kenneth's dismissal midway through the second half for a second bookable offence. By the time substitute Elliott Richard was shown a straight red card for an X-rated challenge on Ashley Grimes, the game was up for Rovers.

Building A Dana 60 Front Axle That'll Never Fail
Doomsday Diesel Part 5
Four-wheel drive and diesel engines are two of the most common options ordered in ¾- and 1-ton trucks—but that wasn't always the case. For decades, American-made pickups relied on two-wheel drive to get the job done. World War II changed all of that. The Allied Forces in Europe proved four-wheel drive could take you anywhere you needed to go. It didn't matter if the roads were clear, blown to bits, or non-existent in the first place. When our soldiers came home to start new lives on the farm—in northern factories and throughout the western frontier—four-wheel drive helped them get there.
The beauty of the modern four-wheel-drive system is it only requires three parts not found in two-wheel-drive trucks: a front drive axle, a transfer case mounted behind the transmission, and a driveshaft to connect those two together. Of these three pieces, the front drive axle does the most difficult job. It supports the weight of the vehicle, permits steering, and transfers torque to the front wheels whenever the road conditions are too extreme for rear-wheel drive only.
In the history of diesel pickups, one front axle has been used in more diesel 4x4s than any other—it's called the Dana 60. This axle has such a legacy, many people simply refer to it as a "60." Dana Spicer has built this axle in dozens of forms, and it debuted in the front of four-wheel-drive 1-tons in the '70s. Dodge, Ford, and GM all used it in their pickups, and Ford continues to use it till this very day.
The '91 GMC Suburban 2500 that's the basis for Doomsday Diesel was never offered with a Dana 60 front axle. General Motors used the smaller Dana 44 and GM 10-bolt front axles in its fullsize SUVs. The Dana 60 was only used by GM in its 1-ton 4x4s from '77 to '91—a generation of vehicles many truck enthusiasts note as the last "real truck" GM ever made.
Experienced readers will be aware that GM's version of the Dana 60 front axle will bolt into '73 to '91 solid-axle-equipped ½- and ¾-ton Chevy and GMC trucks. We've chosen not to go that route with our project for three critical reasons: wheel choice, differential location, and component strength. Though Dana no longer makes the GM version of the Dana 60 axle, all the pieces required to build an all-new assembly are still being manufactured. And after more than 35 years of service in 1-ton trucks, the aftermarket has developed upgrades that fortify these legendary frontends.
So when we were shopping around for a front axle that would survive Armageddon, we considered using a 21- to 35-year-old junkyard Dana 60, converting a rear AAM 1150 axle into a frontend (for parts compatibility), or even adapting a Super Duty-style Dana 60 into our GMC. In the end, the cost, strength, and unmatched precision of Dynatrac Products in Huntington Beach, California, convinced us that having it build us a brand-new Dana 60 was our best option. That way, we could leverage the track record of the Dana 60, incorporate the latest torque-proof components the off-road world has developed, and move the differential to the driver side for more exhaust clearance.

Summary and Context:
Today, I am reading the rest of the story of Abuelo and the Three Bears. As I read with my students, I will engage them with text dependent questions and with a few strategies to make the reading interactive: cloze reading, whisper reading, and silent reading. A cloze reading includes the teacher reading and omitting certain words the students fill in chorally. It helps to keep the reading flowing and holds them accountable. Whisper reading is just that - reading softly. And, I will ask them to read silently because that is the intended goal to read silently when they are independently reading.
After we read together, I will gather the students on the rug for Socratic Seminar. Socratic Seminar is about providing a space for discussing ideas. It is a time for students to hear from each other as they share their thinking. During this time, students are expected to refer back to the text to support their claims.
During the Socratic Seminar, we will be discussing: how are the two versions of The Three Bears and Abuelo and the Three Bears alike? How are they different? They will need to support their claims with evidence from the text.
Afterwards, students will choose one key detail such as: setting, character(s), plot, problem, and solution to compare and contrast. They will draw their own Venn diagram. They will take the information from their Venn diagrams and write a paragraph.
Then, students will share their work.
Lesson Opening:
I introduce them to the objective of the lesson and have them read it chorally: I can answer the key details in the folktale and use them to compare and contrast. I review what it means to compare and contrast. I am a big believer in reviewing. It helps to focus them.
My students need much practice with answering text dependent questions about what the text states explicitly. Interestingly, this is not as easy as some people may think it is. In some cases, students need to reread, and this is where it can get hairy for some of them because they don't want to due to their lack of stamina. The more practice the students get, the better they will become. It is important for students to have good practice so that they don't spend time later on needing to unlearn bad habits.
In answering a text dependent question with evidence, I ask them additional questions to get them focused on evidence:
These two follow up questions redirect them back into the text.
Here is example of a student going back into the text to find the evidence: How will Trencitas fix Ositos chair?
During the reading, we compare the two versions. This is important since my students will be comparing and contrasting in writing later.
I keep the Socratic Seminar sessions short and sweet for a big reason. This is what they can manage at this point in the year, and I want this time to be productive and successful for all. As the year progresses, I will add more time.
I believe strongly in reviewing the rules for participation - they need to know what is expected of them. I also give them feedback whether they are meeting these expectations or not. They can reference the Handing-Off Chart for some linguistic patterns they can use to help them enter into the discussion.
The two versions we are comparing and contrasting are Abuelo and the Three Bears, by Jerry Tello and The Three Bears by Paul Galdone.
We have two questions for discussion today:
I am looking for them to share their thoughts in a complete sentence and for them to hand-off without waiting for me to direct them to do so. I want to see more independence from them. I am looking for them to be good listeners by making sure they are making eye contact with the speaker, not having any sidebar conversations, and/or looking at other pages in their book.
I have attached a document that goes more in depth about how I implement Socratic Seminar in my classroom in case you'd like to read more.
My students draw Venn diagrams on their own and get ready to compare and contrast a key detail from each story. I am helping students draw a Venn diagram if needed. so that they don't make them too small to write.
I am looking for them to work diligently and quietly. I am looking for them to compare and contrast more than the physical appearance of the characters. I asked them to look at the actions of the characters and that would help them to go beyond appearances. I am looking for them to go beyond than providing a list but to give me specific details in comparing and contrasting.
As I walk around, I like to check in with them so that I know they understand the task and that they have made a decision about what element to compare and contrast: Comparing:Contrasting the Setting.
Here are some examples of their comparisons and contrasts:
I gather the students back on the rug and review our objective. I have a few of them share and see if those comparisons and/or contrasts meet the objective. The students will say either yes or no.
This brief time gives everyone an opportunity to check in, and, whether they share or not, they get to see whether they are on the right track of meeting this objective.
I am looking for students to share in a loud and clear voice and to use the words compare and contrast in their talk.
I bring closure to the lesson too.

Encyclopedia about Estonia
World tree
The wish of the forest people to maintain good relations with all worlds, expressed in the relief of the half-pagan World Tree in a wall of one of the oldest churches in Estonia has, despite all inborn scepticism, an impact on the way of thinking of Estonians even today.
Did you know?
...that the crew of the armored car "Kalewipoeg" usually consisted of 7 to 8 men?
...that The Short Course of the History of the Bolshevik Party became the seminal text for Communist ideology?

Q. What are the acceptable wiring methods for photovoltaic (PV) circuits inside buildings/structures?
A. PV system DC conductors (source and output) run inside a building/structure must be contained in a metal raceway, Type MC cable, or metal enclosure [690.31(E)]. Wiring methods cannot be located within 10 in. of the roof decking or sheathing, except where located directly below the roof surface that's covered by PV modules and associated equipment and must be run perpendicular (90°) to the roof penetration point [690.31(E)(1)]. Note: The 10 in. from the roof decking/sheathing requirement is to prevent accidental contact with energized conductors from saws used by firefighters for roof ventilation during a structure fire.
FMC smaller than trade size ¾ in. or Type MC cable smaller than 1 in. in diameter installed across ceilings or floor joists must be protected by substantial guard strips that are at least as high as the wiring method. Where run exposed, other than within 6 ft of their connection to equipment, wiring methods must closely follow the building surface or be protected from physical damage by an approved means [690.31(E)(2)].
Wiring methods and enclosures containing PV source conductors must be marked with the wording "Photovoltaic Power Source" by labels or other approved permanent marking means [690.31(E)(3)]. The marking required by 690.31(E)(3) must be visible after installation and appear on every section of the wiring system separated by enclosures, walls, partitions, ceiling, or floors. Spacing between labels/marking must not be more than 10 ft, and labels must be suitable for the environment [690.31(E)(4)].

About Logan2057
From Saint john, New Brunswick, Canada. I'm a 55 year old male. I like Sci-Fi, crime shows, reading Tech Dirt, and spending time on my computer. I do have a tendency to speak my mind and I always have, even if it gets me censored by others who may not agree with my thoughts. But that's what makes the world go round.
I tried to make that observation this afternoon that OOTB is getting more and more delusional by the day, but for some reason my comment never got posted.
OOTB, get your bloody head out of your arse, you blithering idiot. Again trying to bait Mike into saying things he didn't and again you, you half witted, sorry excuse for a troll, you didn't read the bloody article did you? Mike didn't write the story and you'd know that if you had. Intellectual Property has not been written into the constitution you moron, it didn't come in till 1796 long after the constitution was drafted so why don't you and your maximimalist cronies go jump off a bridge with a sixty pound weight around your necks. You'd be doing the world and this forum a huge favor.
I don't know about the rest of you but O_O_T_B and Average_Joe seem to be vying for the moron of the decade award. Neither seems to have any clue other than to trash Mike, Dark Helmet and others in this forum. Their posts are more laughable than constructive and their vitriol is aimed at the wrong people.
They should be taking it out on themselves for drinking the kool-aid from the RIAA and MPAA. Yet they can't resist time and again making fools of themselves and winding up being vilified by everyone who has a bit of common sense other than the black hole that seems to be omnipresent in their heads.
You'd think by now they'd be getting tired of the same old shtick but, no, with each post they seem to relish making horses' asses of themselves by name calling, and garbage spouting.
For once why don't O_O_T_B, Average_Joe, Bob and TAM sit down together and commiserate on the fact that no matter how much stupidity they espouse no one is going to believe them.
I feel sorry for these simple minded, misinformed, ass clowns who think that the word of RIAA and the MPAA is gospel and anyone who disagrees is a heretic.
Unfortunately, there are some people out there, these four souls amongst them who seem to think that the sky is black the sun is blue and the wind only blows roses and perfume from the dung heap that is Hollywood and the RIAA.
Good, old O_O_T_B, the lad or lass without a brain in their head. I've never seen anyone like this clown with their paranoid, almost fanatical, raving at Mike about everything and anything that he/she can find and then trying to make it sound as tho they are trying to have an intelligent?!?!?! discussion.
C'mon, Blue, we're all amused at your foolishness, but it's starting to wear a tad thin, this constant harping at Mike and how he's constantly and continuously advocating piracy, getting rid of copy write, and showing the love to Google, all the while Mike isn't saying any such thing. Twixt Bob, O_O_T_B, TAM, and the other Masnick haters, we have our own Max Senate movie complete with clowns, morons and idiots.
C'mon for Pete's Sake, how many clones are there of Bob, O_O_T_B,TAM and the other delusional trolls? As of late when I read the articles here all I see are morons who refuse to take their meds unless it's the kool-aid that their corporate masters gladly pass around.
I know Mike Masnick from this forum only and I happen to agree with his stance on most things. I find that like most name calling fools those that do the most are the ones guilty of doing exactly what they are pointing the finger at others for.
They have the biggest collections of porn, both adult and kiddie, the most pirated music and movies, and they pretend to be so bloody self-righteous and pompous that it's a wonder their heads don't explode from all the BS they
espouse each time they open their mouths.
They try to justify their existence by screaming bloody blue murder if someone disagrees with them and their skewed version of reality.
Mayhap it's time their nannies and mommies came and gave them all a good spanking and send them to bed with no supper as well as making sure that the parental controls on the computers are working with passwords that our wee trolls can't guess.
As usual o_o_t_b, is making an ass of him or herself, with their vitriolic garbage that seems better suited to be coming out of the other end than his/her mouth. This clown has nothing constructive to say and only lives in his/her delusional world, where in the MAAFIA reign over us with no one to speak up.
As I said before o_o_t_b, is nothing more than someone who can't do anything but espouse the propaganda that his corporate masters feed him. He/she is as fruity as a nutcake or as Shakespeare once said, "He's mad tis true, tis true." Mayhap he/she will wake up one day and realize that the drip on their meds has been turned up too high all this time.
Big mouth - no thought- no brains = moronic troll.
My word, o_o_t_b, can't you do anything but pick on people. You constantly whine and carp at Mike no matter what he does or doesn't write. According to you it's, "All Mike's Fault" and you won't rest till you get a rise out of him. Well, he ain't baked bread so that day will be long coming. I'm sure that like the majority of us Mike is getting more than a little tired of your self-serving, MAFFIA spouting, moronic drivel. Or to put it a bit more succinctly, "CRAWL BACK UNDER THE BRIDGE FROM WHENCE YOU CAME, HOSER!!" You ain't wanted or needed here.
Bub, you ain't got a clue about anything do ya? All you do is get on here to spit vitriol and your own warped brand of logic. It's obvious you either don't read or can't read without someone helping you to figure out the big words. So go back and sit on Momma Troll's lap and whine for some more swamp water and mud hole cookies, with slimy snail bits baked in.
Joe, you and your ilk should get out of town, you're a disgrace. Anyone who has a difference of opinion that doesn't agree with you clowns and your IP maximimalist ideas is automatically considered a Pirate Apologist. Well, to me you're nothing more than a loud mouthed moron who, along with your misguided and misinformed brethren, wouldn't know the truth if it came up and bit you. Just because there are people out here who see what damage is being done by these idiots lead around by the nose by Ron Kirk with their demands that Canada do more by getting rid of fair dealing and allowing the crooks who pay their salaries in Washington free reign around the globe is simply wrong.
Bub, is your needle stuck? This repetitive demanding for an answer from Mike, that everyone including Mike, himself, has said has been answered leads me to believe that you're just talking to hear yourself talk. Which means you are either a complete and total, pathetic, miserable and very lonely troll who's just dying for attention or someone who has the attention span of a gold fish. The only one who seems to think that Mike is avoiding you is Y-O-U!!. So it's time to get your warm milk, cookies and put your jam-jams on and crawl into the mud pit of a bed under your bridge and go to sleep.
Bub, were you born a complete, oh sorry, an incomplete, bloody, idiot or did you have to work at it. People like you shill and whine in defense of the MAFIAA and for what? A wee bit of recognition by a group of companies that have an over blown sense of self entitlement and obviously like the smell of their own rear end considering how far they have their bloody heads shoved up them.
The RIAA DOES have a fuckin' clue, they actually have TWO clues, but one's lost and the other one's lookin for it.
Basically, they are so completely clueless that they couldn't come up with a legitimate case if they had a map, seeing eye dog, indian guide, a GPS, or even the biggest bottom feeding law firm on the planet helping them out. Yet, they manage to subvert the laws to their way of thinking and this so-called judge should be called up before an ethics board and have her license to be a judge and a lawyer stripped from her.
I just replied to the comments of the week and for some reason my reply never got posted. I saw it go in and then when I came back it wasn't there.
It looks as if we're gonna have the same thing all over again as Jon Newton did with Wayne Crooks and his "hyperlinking is the same as publishing" crap. That one worked out well for him didn't it, he lost three times in court, the first two in the Supreme Court of BC, then the appeals court and finally the Supreme Court of Canada and he still don't get it. Sounds like these clowns in Access Copyright need to be hauled up before a very angry crowd of students, bent over and have their hind ends pounded with cricket bats and the officials in the schools as well. When are people gonna stand up to these crooks and give them the old one finger salute to their demands and when they whine and cry that they've been insulted, have someone turn around and let them know that they and their ilk are the biggest insults to ALL Canadian students. They've got their heads buried in the sand, I mean, C'mon charging to email a hyperlink?! What's next charging for email to home or to another friend. It seems to me that these two universities don't give a rats ass about the students and their rights only the rights of some half assed group of moronic copy right lovers. Here's hoping the court declares their demands and actions to be illegal and makes them shut down.
I'm a proud Canadian and I, for one, am sick, sore and tired of Hollywood and their constant interference in politics in both the U.S. and world matters. If our P.M. had any stones he'd tell them to take a good long walk into an active volcano.
I know if I was Prime Minister I'd be doing my damnedest to get those fools out of the political ring altogether. They have NO RIGHT to try and dictate what the rest of the world does and yet they threaten sanctions if you don't bow and scrape. Well, mayhap it's time for the rest of the world to sanction them. Every other country should just say "See Ya" and block U.S. imports for a year, then give them the ultimatum that if they didn't want to play nice with the rest of the planet they'd continue to be locked out of the global playground.
Just what we bloody need some moron advertising how to keep up with your LinkedIn contacts. Well, what if you DON'T want to keep in contact with them cause you don't know them from Adam?
I wish people like you and your "friends" at LinkedIn would all just dig a nice big hole next to an active volcano, climb in and pull the hole in after you.
Believe me I've tried to blacklist this bunch of loons. I've made message rules to delete anything with LinkdIn updates in the address. I've blocked them on my group page where the whole mess first started. I've tried blacklisting the whole darn domain with no results. Hell, I've even sent letters and calls to the FTC to get these clowns to stop with no results. As of right now I'm at a complete loss as how to get rid of this bunch as there's not even an email contact address to get hold of them. It's like they want to harass you until you give up and join.
Here's one for you. I'm not a member of LinkedIn, as I don't use social messaging but somehow I've wound up on their list and I'm being spammed to death by them. It seems every week I'm getting updates about people who have joined my list and I don't know any of them. I've tried to go and remove my name but can't seem to find how to do so other than use the user name and password, which I don't have as it's not my account.
There is no way to contact them as I've looked online so this type of behavior is not surprising. As to who owns the account now in question in the above story I'd say it still belongs to the original account owner, Dr. Eagle, Sawabeh has no right to that account or the information contained therein as it was created by Dr. Eagle BEFORE the company was bought out and the original founders fired. Their (Sawabeh) removing of her name and profile picture to be replaced with someone else from the company is nothing short of fraud.
Sorry about that I removed the link to the story.

AHL Playoff Game Night: 5-2-13 Crunch at Pirates
Palat on the spot.
Syracuse Wins the Best-of-Five Series 3-0
Cedrick Desjardins allowed 3 goals on just 18 shots for the victory. Once again, he allowed another wraparound goal that was on the soft side and once again the team bailed him out. Mind you, he made some incredible saves in Overtime to make up for it, but as the competition level rises in the next round Desjardins has got to get better.
First Period
POR Miele, (1) (Bolduc, Brown), 15:57 (PP)
Second Period
SYR Gudas, (1) (Taormina, Sexton), 6:57 (PP)
Third Period
POR Bolduc, (1) (Miele, Lessio), 0:19
POR Johnson, (2) (Stone, Conner), 10:47 (PP)
SYR Angelidis, (1) (Wyman, Barberio), 13:59
SYR Palat, (2) (Connolly, Sustr), 18:48
SYR Palat, (3) (Taormina, Johnson), 19:43
Ondrej Palat was the game's first star. Oddly enough, I thought his first two games of the series were better than tonight, but he was in the right places at the right times for the two biggest goals of the series.
Let me tell you a little something about Brett Connolly, who turned 21 today and celebrated by knifing Portland in the heart late in regulation. Hopping on the ice as the sixth attacker to try to tie the game late in the Third Period, the puck came to Connolly who circled through the neutral zone and cut down the left wing boards into the offensive zone. For the life of me, I thought Portland's defenseman had the angle on Connolly at the blueline and would squeeze him off, or at least get enough of him to separate the puck. Nope. Connolly has deceptive speed a la Alex Killorn and he squirted by without being touched, went to circle behind the net, and just before he went behind dished a beautiful little backhand pass to Palat for the stuff. Tie game. What an individual play by Connolly. Truly cold blooded.
Let me also tell you a little something about faceoffs. Gudas' power play goal came directly from a bang-bang play off a faceoff win by Dan Sexton. And then, with just 17 seconds left in Overtime, Palat's second goal came off a faceoff win by Tyler Johnson that led to a Taormina shot that gave Palat the rebound he needed to send the Crunch to the first round pay window. Those quick plays off clean faceoff wins in the offensive zone are instant scoring chances, and almost as valuable as forcing turnovers out of your opponent.
It's not all good news, though. Although Syracuse outshot Portland 45-18, I suspect the scoring chances don't reflect the disparity. There was a distinct lack of GMT in this game for the Crunch. GMT = goal mouth thrills. Syracuse got a lot of traffic and a lot of greasy chances in the first two games of the series and they were absent tonight, with the exception of a few shifts by the Angelidis line. As the level of competition goes up in the next round, more GMT is required. If you don't muck it up in the high traffic areas, you invite a night like tonight where Portland's goaltender gobbled up a lot of clean, unscreened, undeflected shots.
Elsewhere in the Eastern Conference tonight, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton finished off their own sweep of Binghamton and Manchester won their first game of their series. Springfield still holds a 2-1 edge, but the series continues on. Top seed Providence is down 2-0 to Hershey. If either Providence or Springfield get upset (and Providence going down looks distinctly possible right now) Syracuse will get home ice for a second round series against the Penguins. Tough opponent. It'll be a great series.

The Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville announced the selection of Kim Bergeron as its new executive director, according to a press release Oct. 1.
Bergeron is expected to start Nov. 1, replacing Robert Arleigh White, who retired after 13 years as executive director.
Bergeron was the director of Cultural and Public Affairs in Slidell, La. In November 2012, she chose to resign from her post rather than select one of two other employees to be laid off, according to a story in the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
In Slidell, Bergeron spearheaded fundraising efforts for programming and worked with the New Orleans Museum of Art to bring in exhibits that included art by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Andy Warhol, according to the Cultural Council.
Bergeron was the unanimous choice of a search committee made up of Cultural Council board members and community representatives.
"The committee was wowed by all Kim has achieved in her previous roles," Cultural Council board member Abel Harding said, according to the news release.

A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. I got this Syrah at BoulderWineMerchant in early Sept and have been wanting to try it since then. Every visit I make to BWM, I usually try to snag a CO wine to try. This one was recommended to me by Gili, so should have known it would be good. I was rather impressed...way better than any Syrah from NM or TX that I've tried.

New Iwan Rheon Interview: Talks Game of Thrones, Misfits, and New Films
In a nutshell:
1. He gets nervous when the interviewer calls him Ramsay Snow, says he can't confirm that. Says he worked with one specific person, can't say whom because he's under contract. Also says he's done filming but there will be more. He is a fan of the show.
2. He is watching Misfits: Electric Boogaloo.
3. He will be in "Libertador" (an "epic Braveheart" type Spanish film) and "Driven."
4. His mommy is a social worker.
5. He is good-looking.
6. His hair is a mess.

Actually, the gun mount is 310mm+ armor. As a large fixture on the front, they are pretty easy to hit and force a bounce. Also, before sighting mechanics were reworked they were nearly invisible. I used to call them "Stealth Bombers" because how invisible they tended to be. Oftentimes you rammed into one before you saw him.
Also, I'd personally advise against going head to head against any tank destroyer, but I suppose the Object is the weakest one in terms of frontal engagements. Still not recommended though. They are all very weak to artillery.

Seems that the German E-series is now available on the Supertest server (aka the game test servers only a select few can participate in), from which we get this initial image of the E-50, armed with the 88mm Kwk L100 gun:
(image lifted from official forums)
The gun is longer than the E-50 itself

Now for more leaked images of the new German Heavy tanks:
The VK4501 Tiger (P) (Tier VII Heavy Tank):
The Tiger (P) is essentially the Tiger with slower acceleration (due to its engine), yet have much thicker hull and turret armor in return. Much thicker front armor - at 200mm thick, the only other tank ingame to have an equivalent thickness of armor at its front is... the Maus.
The E-75 (Tier IX Heavy Tank):
And the E-75 is a more mobile, more maneuverable version of the VK4502 Ausf.B with slightly less armor but greater engine power.
While these values are not final, it's interesting to note that the E-75 and the Tiger (P) pretty much seem to have the same weapons as their same-tier German counterparts, so you're only choosing over the performance of the hull in choosing between the Tiger (P) and Tiger I, or the VK4502 Ausf.B and the E-75.

The Maus's armor is sloped but the Tiger P's armor is not. So it's actually strong but not as strong. It should be much stronger than the Tiger I but weaker than the front of the King Tiger (150mm sloped for about 240 thickness).
Looks like the Tiger P will be a monster. 200 front armor means tier 7 heavy tank guns (USA 105mm, USSR 122mm, Germany long 88) will have tons of trouble penetrating. In fact, I highly doubt the USSR's 122mm guns will be able to penetrate at all at combat distances.
But I think the Tiger P will be even slower than the Tiger I.

I still play, but not as much as I used to:

I have almost every tier 9/10 tank (I'm missing T-54, Object 704, AMX-50B and Maus).
EDIT: tank-tracker.com is a pretty neat place to track your performance, I think it pulls your latest statistics from the profile page.

This game has conquered what little life I had.
Nah, it's not that bad, but I do spend quite a bit of time on it.
Currently my tanks of note are an ISU-152, Panther, and a T-50. I also have some supporting tanks, namely a Pz IV, SU-85, and a premium heavy tank, the Pz B2, which is seriously overpowered and can't not make a profit when you play it. I did get a Tiger, but it's mostly stock and I won't be grinding it much until I get the E-50, which seems to have a badass gun.
My ingame name is LeoXiao; I also use an account by the name of Khanka which technically belongs to my brother but he plays it less than I do. I am in a clan, which is awesome because we can make tank companies in which actual organized strategy and command and control has a role, unlike in random battles. It's a massive improvement and I would totally recommend it (and joining my clan )

I enjoyed this chapter quite a bit, and it is nice to see Nanoha feeling happy as well. Yuuno sure doesn't realize how good he has it there. As for the choices ... whoo boy, a tough call between A and B. A could lead to something interesting (and risque ), but Fate needs some attention as well. I don't think she would care about money at all (not like she is spoiled in this aspect) and would be just happy to spend time with Yuuno. I think he should forget Hayate for now and focus on his "domestic problems"
Lets see ... we probably scored a lot of points with Nanoha, which means her affection should be pretty high ... since Fate is high on the affection meter as well, makes me wonder: doesn't it only get worse if we keep shuffling between the girls and boosting points with both in the long run ? One is going to have a heartbreak sooner or later ... and the later it seems, the bigger it is likely to be.
Ok ... gah. Nanoha and Yuuno make for a cute couple and i like her antics, but in the end Fate needs some attention as well, and it is not good to leave promises hanging. B

Acting on impulse, I reached forward and popped the top snap-buttons on Nanoha's shirt open, revealing her breast fully. "Definetlly a ten on the stroke-o-meter. SCHWING!"
How's that work for you? I think Yuuno would have gotten that slap after all with that one XD Either that or his pizza might have gotten burned >.<b
I'd really prefer it if people read the story before they voted since their vote could be entirely off ( like how Haru is trying for N/F but is actually working away from it) But everyone is entitled to a vote. that means you too lurkers! Everyone can vote, so don't hold back. The point of an interactive story is to be interactive and hopefully make some people who don't post to come out from hidings and start talking more ^^
Right now I find myself awake at 3:30 AM with a headache and can't sleep. Going to try and write some or maybe scan some doujinshi.

Now, for options. With Nanoha saved, I'm leaning between B or C... however, Yuuno did promise he'd take Fate out one of these days... gotta stick to you words Yuuno. B

Lovely chapter
Was Nanoha acting slow on purpose or just was so shocked it took her brains 5s to process the upcoming information? Great moment.
As for the choice, I'm feeling that Fate is in need for attention so B it is for this time even that something is bound to fail with this equal attention sharing.

I dont want to end up crying out of frustration again at one of your destroy the happy family fandom fics, so it would be better if I dont waste my time and only read it when Im sure that is NanoFate and not something else.
I have asked you which is the option that will guide the story to our good final, and you havent told us, so it is not my fault if my option is not making the fics way towards the desired end, since the succession of events depends more in your mood than in the voted option, because if you want to direct the plot to a specific path you can easily do it in a world with unlimited possibilities like this one, independently of if youre forced to write something specific due to the selection of certain option. Because of this reading the fic will not help me to lead the fic where we want, since we cant know what you are thinking for the plot and if effectively there are possibilities for that good end.
Saludos, Haru

And no, I'll never guide the story the way I want. This is to be interactive with everyone and everyone's vote is what counts. If I wanted to do my own story, I'd just simply do it XD (that's why I'm doing three fics at the same time hehe)
the best I can say is, yes, N/F is available. No, I don't mind if it goes there. But yes, Yuuno is the main character and thus his relationship is the foreground- so other relationships would be hard to get.

But, uh, side note... summary =/= summery.
As for Lyrical Days, I have to say the premise is...interesting. Somewhat. O_o Since I didn't read previous parts, though, I think I'm just going to see how this unfolds.
Well, I'm just going to say, think outside the box. Or rather, don't think too far...the answer might just be under your nose. =P Any particular questions you may have? Though, of course, whether I may answer it or not is an entirely different question...
That aside, I'm not much of a fic reviewer but...sometimes I either say too little or too much, which plays a hand in lack of commenting. So here goes my question to previous fic posters: Is there anything in particular you would like thoughts on?

There's no clear option set for a single route since this is not how it works, that being fairly obvious by now, and asking for a answer regarding that serves no purpose since it might go in a completely different direction by the next decision point.
It's definitely not, as you put it, "forced", since the options were decided solely by the writer and each option thought out beyond the options alone and not after it was selected, with each and every scenario ready before the selection is done, as far as I understand by Satashi's explanation sometime back. The option that wins the most votes simply means it gets written, nothing including impulses after that.
It is evident that a fair number of people who participate in the voting as well like their NF fics but do not mistake to think that they will share your opinion of non-commital participation as well. If the ending turns out not to be your liking, all I can say is that it can be partially attributed to the single-minded pursuit which backfired in the end.

Orange Township saved its firefighters and paramedics from layoffs for at least five months today by using money meant for new snowplows and tree removal to cover their salaries.
Orange Township saved its firefighters and paramedics from layoffs for at least five months today by using money meant for new snowplows and tree removal to cover their salaries.
Had the township�s board of trustees not made that choice, about half of the township�s firefighters could have lost their jobs.
�If we can appropriate a little less, put off major purchases for a while, we were able to bring (the township budget) down,� said Gail Messmer, township administrator. �We�re moving some funds from the general fund to cover a few months of salaries.�
The township delivered 60-day notices of possible layoffs to 22 of its firefighters in November after voters rejected a property tax to pay for fire and medics. The township also asked that a new, lower levy be placed on the Feb. 5 ballot, but the Delaware County Board of Elections denied the request, saying it came after the deadline for the February election.
The deadline to submit issues for that election was 4 p.m. on Nov. 7; the township emailed its application a few minutes before that deadline, and submitted a hard copy a few minutes after the deadline.
The township has asked the state Supreme Court to force the elections board to put the new levy on the February ballot. The court has not ruled.
Dozens of firefighters from Columbus and other central Ohio communities packed a trustees meeting this month and applauded the decision to fight the elections board�s decision.
Today, the board of trustees agreed to supplement the fire department�s budget with about $1.3 million from the township�s general fund. The fire department is typically funded through property taxes.
The department has about $1.5 million it will carry over from 2012 to 2013, said Joel Spitzer, Orange Township�s fiscal officer. The carry-over money, combined with the supplement from the township�s general fund, should keep the fire department afloat through May.
If the Supreme Court does not allow the new levy to be placed on the February ballot, the township could request that it be placed on a ballot in May.
Orange Township�s levy would raise the tax rate for fire and emergency medical services by about 2 mills, to 7.5 mills, for three years, and generate about $6.8 million a year. It would cost a taxpayer about $230 per year per $100,000 of a property�s taxable value. The levy that failed in November was for 7.8 mills.

Washington (CNN) -- President Obama called Thursday for high-level talks with Republicans to work out a compromise on health care legislation, then putting the resulting bill to a vote in Congress.
"If Congress decides we're not going to do it, even after all the facts are laid out, after all the options are clear, then the American people can make a judgment as to whether this Congress has done the right thing for them or not," Obama said. "That's how democracy works."
Obama's comments were the first clear signal from the White House or Democrats in Congress on how they would proceed on a top legislative priority after losing their 60-seat super-majority in the Senate.
Republican Scott Brown was sworn in as the new U.S. senator from Massachusetts earlier Thursday, leaving the Democrats one vote shy of being able to overcome GOP filibusters of health care reform and other major initiatives.
Asked at a party fund-raising event about the Democratic strategy for health care reform going forward, Obama said Democratic leaders in the House and Senate were working out differences in the separate health care bills passed by each chamber last year.
Once that was finished, Obama said, the next step would be "to call on our Republican friends to present their ideas."
"What I'd like to do is to have a meeting whereby I'm sitting with the Republicans, sitting with the Democrats, sitting with health care experts, and let's just go through these bills -- their ideas, our ideas -- and walk through them and in a methodical way so that the American people can see and compare," Obama said.
"And then I think we've got to go ahead and move forward on a vote," he added. "We've got to move forward on a vote."
A White House official acknowledged later Thursday that this was new language from Obama to offer a possible scenario for health care talks to move forward. However, the official stressed it was "not a new strategy" for the White House to coalesce behind, and aides were still mulling various options to complete action on health care legislation.
Democrat leaders in Congress have struggled to come up with a consensus strategy since the party lost its super-majority in the Senate. Republicans have unanimously opposed the health care bills so far, meaning Democrats would be unable to pass a bill through the Senate because of a certain GOP filibuster.
Brown, now the 41st Republican senator to give the GOP its unstoppable filibuster ability, said Thursday after his swearing-in that Congress should start over on the health care issue instead of continuing to work on existing proposals.
Republicans complain the comprehensive Democratic health care bills would lead to a government takeover of health care. They call for smaller steps focused on individual issues, such as limiting medical malpractice lawsuits.
Democrats, however, say that spiraling health care costs that threaten the nation's future economic stability can only be addressed through comprehensive reform.
Obama said Thursday the Democratic bill that will emerge from the House-Senate talks on joining their two proposals would expand coverage to at least 30 million Americans who lack health insurance while reducing long-term health care costs.
The measure would include an insurance exchange to allow people and small business owners to pool together to purchase coverage, Obama said, but he made no mention of a government-run public health insurance option that Republicans have rallied against.
Obama said the Democratic bill would include reforms that prevent insurance companies from denying coverage for pre-existing medical conditions or capping lifetime benefits.
"And by the way, all of it is paid for," Obama said. "Not only is it deficit-neutral, but the Congressional Budget Office, which is the bipartisan office that is the scorekeeper for much things cost in Congress, says it is going to reduce the costs by $1 trillion."
Obama called health care reform the "single best way to bring down our deficits," adding "nobody has disputed that."
"Nobody can dispute the fact that if we don't tackle surging health care costs, then we can't control our budget," he said.
While Democrats from both chambers have been working together to merge their two bills, alternative strategies also have been discussed.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said this week that the chamber would vote next week on one provision of its health care bill, which would drop the current anti-trust exemption for the insurance industry that allows practices such as market allocation.
The Senate bill would maintain the anti-trust exemption, so it was unclear whether the House's limited first step would win approval there. However, Democratic aides have said that House Democrats want to keep momentum on health care going in coming weeks.
CNN's Ed Henry contributed to this story.

A Late Victory for Justice
The Pakistan government could hardly have backed down more dramatically. Early on Monday morning (16 March) Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani made a televised announcement that Islamabad would be reinstating Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry and the other deposed judges in their offices.
This move has certainly deescalated the crisis raging on Pakistan's domestic front since February's elections, but it is far from solved.
The decision is a triumph for Pakistan's civil society. The country's democratic forces see Chaudhry as a symbol of resistance against General Pervez Musharraf's military rule since 1999, which only came to a peaceful end in 2008.
Historic victory for democratic forces
For the thousands of Pakistani lawyers too, who have been taking to the streets to demand an independent justice system for months, the end of the power struggle with the president is a historic victory. For them, the return to democracy was not complete and thus inconceivable without the chief justice who defied Musharraf and defended the constitution.
If President Zardari is the loser in this power struggle, the clear winner is the opposition leader Nawaz Sharif. It was Sharif who torpedoed a collation with Bhutto family's Pakistan People's Party when Benazir's widower refused to reinstate Chaudhry.
Sharif, repeatedly harassed by the Islamabad government in recent months and even placed under house arrest last Sunday, has emerged from this crisis significantly stronger.
Sharif wins on points
Nawaz Sharif, the chairman of the largest opposition party PML-N, demonstrated his newly found authority by calling off further protests – including a "long march" of the opposition from all corners of the country to Islamabad.
The question arises as to why on earth Zardari allowed the issue to escalate into a power struggle, only to lose so miserably. One thing is for sure – he seriously misgauged the situation.
Without a doubt, he started out in office after his major election victory in February 2008 blinkered by his large parliamentary majority, believing he could entice Sharif into the new democratic government and integrate him.
But he underestimated the anger of those who want to further reinforce Pakistan's civil society, seeing a return to democracy as a mere first step on the ladder to strengthening institutions such as the judiciary.
In recent months, Zardari's party and the president himself have increasingly felt the sting of this pressure, above all in the most populous province of Punjab.
And there are a number of voices seeking explanations for the president's attitude in his past: Zardari was indicted for corruption in the 1990s.
"Mr ten percent"
During his wife's time in office as prime minister he was lampooned as "Mr ten percent". He has always denied the charges, yet the suspicions remained. The chief justice, it was thought, would reopen the case if he ever returned to office. Chaudhry has yet to respond to these expectations.
The most important reason for the sudden turnaround, however, is likely to come from Washington. The Obama administration and US Congress, which decides on billions of dollars of aid for Pakistan, are extremely concerned over the domestic situation in the nuclear power state.
Washington expects to see tough action against the insurgent Taliban fighters in the Northwest of Pakistan, the US has proclaimed. A series of delegates from the Obama administration and other Western governments have made it clear to Zardari in the past months that the fight against the Islamists in the Northwest must take clear priority.
Pyrrhic victory on the horizon
In the light of the situation, the West has no sympathy for domestic disputes with the country's democratic forces, was the clear message.
The people of Pakistan are now celebrating their victory. But it could turn out to be of the Pyrrhic kind. The democratically elected president Zardari has been made to look a fool and politically weakened, but he still has a large majority in parliament and will hold on to power for some time to come.
So a lot now hangs in the balance as to whether Nawaz Sharif, the great domestic victor, will now join the Zardari government for the sake of national unity – or work towards destabilising his opponent Zardari even more. The former would be desirable, yet the latter looks more likely.

RE[13]: "Technically" great work, ...

Even with generalization, I'm not so sure it's close or a lot more than half off all the engineers.
Generalisations don't have to be based on majority case scenarios (and usually aren't). I certainly wasn't implying that all or even the majority of engineers felt that way. In fact I deliberately avoided any such estimations as it would be grossly presumptuous of me to guess such a figure.
To be frank, I'm starting to get a little frustrated because my whole argument that spawning this cyclic debate was that some Sun engineers didn't want to see their code "stolen" by the Linux community. Nothing more. Now I appreciate that I've not explained that point as well as I could have, but you're equally leaping to quite a number of assumptions (I don't know if it's because you want to find counter arguments to my arguments or if it is just an explanation and interpretation issue. but either way you keep raising objections to statements I've never made - such as you objection to the claim I never made about the quantity of engineers or about whether they had authority to make the final decision).
And we can't be sure if that is true, that is why I think people should stop talking about it like it's the only truth.
Except that we do know it's true because several Sun employees have stated so. What's often argued is whether those sentiments were what led to the incompatibilities in the final version of CDDL. However my point was never about CDDL but instead about the engineers sentiments (CDDL was only referenced to give context to the anecdote). So the reasoning behind CDDL is completely irrelevant in the context of this discussion.

Anyway, let's get back to the original point.
Let me know when the port nova-compute from OpenStack to OpenSolaris based systems is done. Or when someone starts with a Ceph port. Running cluster pairs is starting to look a bit to much like a hassle.
People would love to see these things, still they haven't happend. 1 or 2 people did work on an OpenStack port to one of the OpenSolaris based system.
A port to FreeBSD which also has ZFS and DTrace would be very welcome too.
Even better (for us) would be if it is a Debian based OS like Debian/kFreeBSD or Nextena OS.
