Pengolodh was a Loremaster of the Noldor in Gondolin.
Pengolodh was an Elf, born in Nevrast to a Noldorin lord and a Sindarin lady; when Turgon built his Hidden City in Tumladen, he moved with his people there. As a member of the Lambengolmor, he was known as the "Sage of the Noldor", and counted as the greatest Loremaster since Fëanor and Rúmil.
Pengolodh escaped the sack of the city with Tuor and Idril, and followed them to the Havens of Sirion. The Annals of Beleriand are attributed to him, as well as the edited Annals of Aman (furthering the work of Rúmil).
It was during his stay at the Mouths of the Sirion that Pengolodh did the majority of his work. Basing on information obtained from the refugees of Doriath, he made copies and extracts of documents written in Cirth, possibly preserving them as an active writing system; possibly he must have stayed in Lindon for at least a while after the War of Wrath, so that the Dúnedain could copy his work.
Later, in the Second Age, he dwelt in the Kingdom of Ereinion Gil-galad. Pengolodh was one of the few Elves admitted into Khazad-dûm, where he might have learned Khuzdul. It was during the War of the Elves and Sauron and after the fall of Eregion when Pengolodh left Middle-earth for Tol Eressëa, last of the Loremasters to leave Middle-earth.
Ages later, he accepted Ælfwine the traveler and taught him about the Elves and the Elder Days. Some of their discussions were recorded as Dangweth Pengoloð.
The name Pengolodh contains the words pen and golodh; it was the Sindarin form of his Quenya name, Quendingoldo. Both names mean 'Elf-Noldo', or more loosely, "Noldorin Elf".[source?] The name is also glossed as "'teaching sage', doctor of lore".[1]
It has been also spelled Pengolod, Pengoloð,[1] Pengoloth, and Pengoloþ — but the ending in all cases representing the voiced same sound).[source?]
Other Versions of the Legendarium
Pengolodh does not appear in any of the canon works of Middle-earth, but in The History of Middle-earth he is given as the author of many works, including the Annals of Beleriand, a work which was developed by Tolkien at the same time as The Silmarillion, and from which Christopher Tolkien drew much information to establish the published Silmarillion. Various late essays by Tolkien dealing with linguistics are presented as being the work of Pengolodh, including the remarkable work Quendi and Eldar.
Early Tolkien texts stated that, after removing to Tol Eressëa, Pengolodh lived in a village called Tavrobel (or Tathrobel). Centuries later Ælfwine spoke with him there. The figure of Gilfanon, which fulfilled a similar role as a chronicler of the annals of Beleriand in earlier works, probably became this character as well in Tolkien's mind.

A recent surge in cotton exports after a dip in the market should start to put some fundamental legs under the market and perhaps solidify a bottom for the low end of a trading range, according to analysts speaking at the January Ag Market Network teleconference.
Mike Stevens with Swiss Financial Services said the low could stick around 45 cents to 46 cents, with a high of around 51 cents. "That would be extremely healthy if we set up an identifiable trading range. That encourages the mills to step in."
Stevens said that the long decline in the market since last March "has eroded confidence in the market. And demand has been destroyed by the economic situation globally."
A declining market actually runs off business, Stevens says. "Anything end users have done since March has been wrong. It makes them gun-shy and demand begins to get pent up, even though it's not the type of demand that we would need to have a true bull market.
"From what we've seen, that demand is starting to surface now, and the sales are for nearby shipments."
Stevens also noted that with both China and India holding cotton off the market, "it could help hold a bottom as long as cotton doesn't get dumped anywhere."
According to Texas A&M Extension economist John Robinson, liquidation by index and hedge funds are starting to level off. "The hedge funds are now slightly net long again. So maybe the worst is over. At least they don't appear to be deleveraging anymore."
"It would be extremely helpful if prices move sideways in a 3-cent to 4-cent pattern for a month," Stevens said. "There are still plenty of bears out there. But there is money on the sidelines. With any sign of encouragement, I think we're going to see the funds come back in."
If that happens, "hopefully, we won't build the open interest to a dangerous level," Stevens said. "We were ridiculously high at 300,000 contracts last March. If it stays below 150,000 contracts, fundamentals have a much better chance of ruling the day. We don't want to go back to the day when the funds were dictating everything."
"We do need the funds to provide the liquidity calls for it," Robinson said. "We've seen what happens when they step out."
Market negatives include the falling price of crude oil, which seems to have a similar impact on commodity prices, and the rising value of the dollar.
But as analysts have come to know over the last two years, the cotton market is fickle. "One day, it seems like crude oil takes the lead, the next day, the dollar takes the lead, then the grains are the big influence," Stevens said.
Stevens says when the market is at the low end of an identifiable trading range, "it's a good idea to use calls or call spreads. On the other hand, this is not a time to get bullish cotton. Watch the adjusted world price closely. Take advantage of market rallies to come out of your call spreads and move your loan equities."
The funds can also move the market if they come into the market in a big way.
Keep an eye on three potentially bullish factors, Robinson says. "If we end up with less than 8 million U.S. acres planted, if half to two-thirds of that is in Texas and it stays dry, speculative froth could push December 2009 up into the upper 50s and maybe over 60 cents. Producers need to be ready to take advantage of that situation. If they haven't positioned themselves with a call spread, then get ready to go in quickly and place a put option. I wouldn't expect it to last very long."
Robinson said Texas acreage could dip 5 percent in 2009. "We'll have a reduction in south Texas on the Gulf Coast. Growers with a fixed cotton, grain sorghum rotation will push their mix toward grain sorghum. Where they have more alternatives in the Rio Grande Valley, they'll probably plant more of those alternative crops."
In west Texas, an indicator of cotton acreage is how much winter wheat is planted, according to Robinson. The latest report showed only a small percent increase from the year prior. "I don't know that we'll be that much different (from the usual crop mix) in west Texas. Overall, I think we'll have a slight reduction, maybe 5 percent."

In the early 90s a man named Joe Ades began showing up in the bar at the Pierre, Manhattan's famously posh hotel on the corner of Fifth Avenue and East 61st Street. Joe liked the crowd at the Café Pierre, but the real draw for him was Kathleen Landis, the dimpled, piano-playing house chanteuse who still entertains there five nights a week. [#image: /photos/54cbfe072cba652122d942bf]Joe was a five-nights-a-week man as well, always seated at the same round table with a front view of the baby grand and a back view of Landis. He drank only champagne, and never alone. His usual brand was Veuve Clicquot. On most nights he casually ordered a bottle, which always appeared with two champagne glasses—one for himself, the other for Landis.
Even by the standards of café society, Joe cut a noticeably soigné figure in his classic, British-made Chester Barrie suits and bold shirts and ties from Turnbull & Asser. The clothes went well with his English accent and late-period Sean Connery salt-and-pepper beard. He looked so distinguished and was so free with the bubbly that the Café Pierre crowd, Landis included, at first had him pegged as one of the "owners"—the tycoons who actually live at the Pierre in stupendously high-end co-op apartments.
The Café Pierre was way off about Joe, or so it decided after some probing. If no one was brave enough to ask him where he lived, quite a few people asked him what he did for a living.
Holding his glass of champagne by the stem, Joe would say simply, "I sell potato peelers."
The probers had a good chuckle over that. "Right," they all said. "Now pull the other one."
While walking the streets in the months that followed, some of the probers, who may have still doubted him, came upon Joe in the middle of a spiel with a crowd gathered around him at some busy corner. He sat on a campstool, peeler in hand, and performed all manner of surgical wonders on carrots, zucchini, and Idaho potatoes. A long slab of Lucite served as his worktable, which rested on storage bins filled with all his produce. The table and his campstool were so low to the ground that he worked from a perpetual crouch, like a catcher. Meanwhile, he kept up a constant patter of inspired stretchers and persiflage belted out at the top of his lungs in a scratchy, theatrical Cockney singsong. After three or four minutes—not before—he announced the price of his "machine," as he called it, produced a wad of bills from his left coat pocket, and began dealing peelers as fast as he could to the outstretched hands flapping money in his face. As if all this weren't astonishing enough, he had on his beautiful café attire, only now bits of potato peel flecked his lapels, and sometimes, when he bowed his head low over an operation, sweat from his brow coursed its way down the ridge of his nose and dripped onto the cuffs of his Turnbull & Asser shirt.
Joe is still working the peeler in New York. This past December he turned 72, but unless there's snow on the ground he's out pitching.
Joe loves the peeler, which he sells for $5. "I love it for several reasons," he says. "It's portable; it works; I never get a complaint. Never ever. When people first see it they don't believe it. They buy it skeptically, cynically. They can't believe it's going to do what I say it'll do, but they take a chance and they buy it. And during the course of the sale, somebody will walk past—always do—and say, 'I got one of those. They're great!' And it's true—they're not shills. You don't need a shill with something like this."
The Swiss-made article is a gleaming frame of stainless steel that fits in the palm like a carpenter's plane. Joe is the only one in the city who has it—a true boast he saves for that moment in the pitch when he names his price and the wad comes out (in the street game, a moment known as "coming to the bat"). In private Joe says, "The company in Switzerland that makes the peeler will only supply people who can demonstrate the product. There's a minimum number you have to buy, and the minimum quantity is far more peelers than one store could handle in 20 years. If you saw the peeler hanging up in a store—for a dollar—you'd walk right past it. It has to be demonstrated."
His selling locations have no fixed pattern. One never knows where Joe will turn up. "I like to be an event," he says. "Boredom sets in when people expect you."
In part, Joe is making a virtue of necessity. He has no license to do what he does, and he often gets moved by the cops, who all know him. "All of them have nicked me in the past," he says.
Joe pushes his gear through the streets on a hand truck, which he in his English way calls a trolley. He and the trolley are often stopped by strangers ready with a heartfelt line: "Sir, you're the greatest salesman in New York!"
He likes the recognition and is never ungracious, but privately he quibbles over the use of the word "salesman." "I couldn't sell one to one," he explains. "I couldn't sell real estate or cars, for example. What I like to do is pitch to a crowd, draw a crowd together and have them give me their money."
Joe's career as a pitchman, or grafter (the argot term he actually uses), goes back to Manchester, England, his birthplace. A poor widow's child, the youngest of seven, he was only 15 when he started in the business. He had dropped out of school and was working in an office when the firm sent him out to post a letter one day. His route happened to take him straight through a bomb site, a still-fresh souvenir from World War II smack in the middle of downtown Manchester. It was there amid the rubble that Joe found his calling. An impromptu market had sprung up from nothing, and for the first time Joe witnessed grafters at work.
"It intrigued me," he says, recalling that day. "They were pitching their wares: shoelaces, cough mixture—all kinds of things. They were mostly men a lot older than myself, but very good at their game—they were showmen."
He started pitching in the markets himself (beginning with secondhand comic books) and was still in the markets a year or two later when an older grafter named Ronald Goldstein opened his eyes to pitching on the street. Goldstein was a very tall, very thin man who sat so low when he pitched on the street that his bended knees came up to his chin. All the street grafters worked sitting down—a deliberate tactic, as Joe found out.
"It's a much easier way to get a crowd," he explains. "When you're down low, people walking past can see the backs of people but they don't know what they're looking at. They have to stop and look to see what those people are looking at."
Most of the items sold by the street grafters were small everyday things priced very cheap. There was a valuable lesson in this, put into words by the all-knowing Goldstein: Never underestimate a small amount of money. It was a lesson his young protégé never forgot.
"I've sold things for far less than the peeler," Joe says. "People say, 'How can you make any money selling something for a dollar?' You sell a lot, that's how. There was a fellow in Trafalgar Square who sold packets of birdseed to the tourists. They were a shilling a packet—to feed the pigeons. He owned blocks of flats, so the story goes."
Joe was married for a number of years to an Australian with a Ph.D. in philosophy.
Before this wife quit the marriage, his third, she gave him a book that became his bible: London Labour and the London Poor, a work in four volumes by Henry Mayhew.
Mayhew was a contemporary of Charles Dickens, whom he knew. In London Labour and the London Poor, Mayhew explored—as sociology, in in-depth interviews—the same scruffy professions met with in Dickens: mud larks, ragpickers, rat killers, chimney sweeps, beggars, prostitutes, thieves.
In a category all to themselves were the street sellers, whom Mayhew divides into two main groups: the patterers, as he calls them, and everyone else. The patterers were the brainy, sophisticated ones—the self-proclaimed aristocracy of the street. In "dress and appearance," Mayhew writes, many of the patterers resembled the "gent." Some wore mustaches, others beards. For the most part—unlike the costermongers, say (itinerant fruit and vegetable sellers who generally were born and bred to the trade)—the patterers willingly took to the street "from a natural love of what they call 'roving.'"
Mayhew and the patterers might have been surprised at just how far Joe has taken this gent thing. At the end of each day he returns with his gear to a commodious three-bedroom apartment on Park Avenue, the home that he shares with his present wife, Estelle. (In spite of the polished ways of the patterers, their typical abode was the "vagrant hovel.") Then it's out again for an early dinner in a style unheard of in London Labour. Six nights a week, accompanied by Estelle, he hits some of the biggest-name restaurants in town—Elio's, Jean Georges, Milos, Centolire. He never has trouble getting a table. In the soft light his hands glow pink from the half-hour hot-water-and-nailbrush treatment he performs as part of his evening toilette.
One of Joe's favorite spots to work the peeler is Union Square on a market day, when stalls appear with tight-lipped farmers who would never dream of pitching their wares. The trouble is—unlike the farmers—Joe lacks a permit to sell in the market, and he often gets chased by security. The only vendors permitted in the market are farmers who sell what they grow themselves, or bakers and the like, who sell what they make.
This past fall Joe tried something out of character for an unregenerate maverick like himself. He made a formal request, in writing, for permission to "demonstrate" his peeler in the Greenmarket. He offered to pay rent—just like the farmers—and "to work all the days the market is in operation" (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday). What his letter didn't say was that, should he win approval, he had plans to introduce a couple of new kitchen items to offset his repeated exposure in one spot. In other words, the Peeler Guy, as everyone knows him, was contemplating nothing less than a change of identity. A part of him was hoping his request would be denied. He certainly didn't act like a humble petitioner. Even as he waited for an answer to his letter, he continued to show up and pitch in the Greenmarket—and was just as often repulsed by his foes.
After one such rebuff on a Saturday morning, he returned with his gear that same afternoon and surveyed the market from the edge of the square at a latitude corresponding to 15th Street.
"There's a big hole up here," he said after a moment. "I'm going to stick it down there. You'll see some fun now."
A few minutes later the singsong started:
"When you peel a potato, it doesn't matter whether you're right-handed, left-handed, or, like a politician, underhanded. All you take off that potato is a thin layer of skin. You've got no waste; you do it in record time. When you come to an eye, you scoop it out—there's the scoop.
"Come up a yard. You'll see better. Come on, don't worry. I won't ask you for money. You're quite safe. You don't have to buy to watch. You may already have one of these—I've sold thousands. I'll give you a refresher course … "
Standing conspicuously off to Joe's right was a hulking figure in black named Tony, a professional panhandler with a collection table at a nearby corner on Union Square West. He is also, in Joe's words, "officially on the firm"—a paid assistant at Joe's beck and call whenever Joe happens to descend on the Greenmarket.
While the singsong continued, Tony kept an eye out and made conversation in a gruff, lowered voice: "Joe lets me eat—you know what I mean? As long as I run into him or see him that day, I still get paid. He's a good guy that way. My actual duties? I clean up after him; I warn him when the cops are coming; I step in the middle when anybody from the market hassles him. Because of me, instead of just going to call the cops, they'll come and say, 'He's gotta go.'"
Tony lowered his voice even more: "One of the managers of the Greenmarket—you would be amazed. All he does is get phone calls all day: 'Peeler man in the vicinity.' They all got walkie-talkies. Listen to me. Come here. See that big truck over there? That's the buffalo guy's truck. He used to be on the other side of the square, all the way on the end. He sells buffalo meat. They told him they wanted to give him a chance at the more upscale area of the market. But the real reason is very simple: Joe. With the truck over here, it blocks Joe out of his usual space." (The Greenmarket denies moving the truck to thwart Joe.)
Tony returned to his former spot and regarded his boss with admiring eyes. "The more they bash him, the tougher he gets. I just know he wanted to bust right into the middle of the market today because they broke his chops yesterday. Everybody thinks he makes $9 million a day. He really don't. And it's hard work. Look, look, look at the tension in his back, his neck. It ain't that he's hunched over. His whole body is tense. He's all fuckin' business, that guy. Even me, I can't talk. He yells at me—'You're talking too loud! Go away!' See him looking at me? He's mad at me. He always gets mad when he hears my voice."
Estelle, the fourth and current Mrs. Ades, is a fine-boned lady of independent means who first met Joe at the Café Pierre. She was not one of the probers who asked him what he did. Joe at that time was living on his own in a one-bedroom apartment not far from the Pierre. A week or two after meeting each other, Joe asked her up for a drink one night—"He does things quickly," Estelle explains—and that was the first time she heard about his work. And not just heard about it. Joe grabbed a peeler and, right there in his living room, put on a full demonstration for Estelle.
Prior to their marriage, in October of 2000, Joe moved into Estelle's apartment (the one on Park Avenue he now calls home). Boxes of peelers straight from the factory made up the bulk of his personal effects. Estelle made room for the peelers, which are now like a permanent member of the family, new boxes arriving by the gross each time the inventory starts to get low.
Recently, Joe and Estelle agreed to open their home for a peek at the boxes. The visit began at the kitchen table, where Joe brought out a handful of snapshots showing him at various stages of his career. Mixed in with these was a vertical postcard of Harrods of London as seen from the street. "This is a postcard that you could buy anywhere that sells postcards in London," he said. "Somebody's took a shot of Harrods, the famous department store, and that is my pitch on the postcard. You can't see me. I'm sat down on a stool pitching jewelry. But that's my outside man, Darky Pat. He was the best outside man I ever had. If anybody came and spoke to him—'I'm workin',' he'd say. 'I'm workin'. Can't talk.' And these are all Gypsy ladies here. They're selling flowers—heather. These women invented women's lib. Invented it! None of their husbands work. They are such unbelievable money getters. Brilliant."
Just off the kitchen, in a room of their own, with nothing but a single bed in the way of furniture, 23 boxes of potato peelers rose from the floor in five-foot columns, effectively obliterating half the space, which years ago was the servant's room. "Now it's Joe's nap room," Estelle said demurely. "But when more shipments come in with more boxes, he cannot nap there." She seems not to mind the boxes or the trolley, which just then was parked, swollen with gear, on the threshold of her otherwise pristine living room. "Well," she said, speaking of the trolley while Joe looked on with a smile of contentment, "when he's out working, it's not there."
Next, I stopped in the lobby of the building, where Benny the doorman was watching the street. Benny has a personal acquaintance with the boxes.
"I handle the delivery," he said confidentially. "It's about 60 or 70 boxes sometimes. I think the last delivery was towards the end of the summer. The boxes go up on the luggage cart and we leave them inside the door of the apartment."
None of the other tenants in the building are in the habit of receiving freight. "Joe's the only one," said Benny. "I've worked here 16 years. I have lawyers, bankers, doctors. He's the only one." Some of these tenants have spotted Joe at work—and breezing through the building with his trolley. "The tenants are always amazed," said Benny. "They ask me, 'Isn't that the guy who lives here? Benny, I saw him on the street!' Because sometimes he does it right around here. He does different locations. One time he was on 86th between Lexington and Third, and one of the tenants says"—here Benny dropped to an incredulous whisper—"'Benny, I just saw that guy who lives here. He's out on the street selling peelers! And he lives here? He must do good if he lives here.'"

The notation for tensors is like the plumbing in a very old Vermont farmhouse. It may once have been intentionally designed, but after that it just evolved. As an example, it seems that depending on taste in notational systems, there may be as many as six flavors of rank-1 tensors or as few as one.
In the notation introduced by Sylvester in 1853, we have $\mathbf{x}=\sum x^j \mathbf{e}_j$ and $\boldsymbol{\omega}=\sum \omega_j \mathbf{e}^j$. The flavors are invariant vector $\mathbf{x}$, contravariant n-tuple of components $[x^j]$, covariant vector $\mathbf{e}_j$, invariant covector $\boldsymbol{\omega}$, covariant n-tuple of components $[\omega_j]$, and contravariant vector $\mathbf{e}^j$.
In the Penrose diagrammatic notation (similar to Cvitanovic's birdtracks and Peterson's trace diagrams), we arguably have only one flavor of rank-1 tensor, which is a vertex with one edge. (OK, I cheated. The edge is directed, so that does give us two flavors of diagrams, an innie and an outie. But if there's a metric we can reverse the arrowhead at will.)
My question: Throwing out all the historical baggage, how many of these distinctions are actually important enough that they deserve to be built into the notation? Let's assume we have a metric.

On July 18, 2009 McMinnville AVA vineyards and wineries hosted an AVA-centric event to shine the spotlight on the AVA and what makes it unique.
Over 150 people attended – starting with an informative discussion about regional geology and climate. Then all the wineries that produce wine from McMinnville AVA grapes poured samples.
Attending producers were:
- Amity Vineyards
- Brittan Vineyards
- Coeur de Terre Vineyard
- Coleman Vineyard
- Maysara Vineyard
- Raptor Ridge Winery
- Seufert Winery
- Yamhill Valley Vineyards (event host)
- Youngberg Hills Vineyard
If you weren't there, you missed a great event. Everyone had an incredible time – they may have even learned a thing or two in the process.... The modest $25 admission included an Oregon Pinot Noir glass, all tastings, and incredible food prepared by Kristen Coleman. A real bargain. Check the AVA's website for information on the 2010 event.

Volunteers needed for Inland Bays Cleanup on June 8 and 22
MASSEY'S LANDING (May 10, 2013) – DNREC's Division of Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Section, along with the Dewey Beach Lions Club, the Center for the Inland Bays and DNREC's Division of Parks and Recreation, are seeking volunteers and working boats for the Ninth Annual Cleanup of the Inland Bays, which will be held on two Saturdays in June.
This year, the first cleanup will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 8 at Massey's Landing Public Boat Ramp at the end of Long Neck Road. Cleanup efforts will focus on the Rehoboth Bay and Indian River Bay areas.
A second cleanup day is scheduled for Little Assawoman Bay from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 22, with volunteers meeting at Mulberry Landing Public Boat Ramp at the Assawoman Wildlife Area just southwest of Bethany Beach.
Volunteers should dress to get dirty and be prepared for cooler conditions on the water as well as wet walking conditions on land. Rubber boots are also suggested. Those who have access to lifejackets should bring one, as they are required on boats. Otherwise, lifejackets will be provided. This event is not recommended for children under the age of 10.
Last year's event drew 75 volunteers who collected 2,650 pounds of debris, including soda bottles and cans, tires, derelict crab pots and a lot of plastic. A large construction dumpster was donated and filled by the end of the day.
"With this event, we are continuing our public outreach on behalf of the Division of Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Section, Delaware State Parks, the Center for the Inland Bays and our Enforcement volunteers. We hope that through activities such as the cleanup, people using the Inland Bays will pause long enough to make decisions that benefit these beautiful waterways," said Sgt. Nicholas Couch of Fish and Wildlife Enforcement.
E.J. Chalabala, Delaware Center for the Inland Bays, added that this year, the operators of the first 20 boats registered for the June 8 cleanup day will receive $20 VISA gift cards. "We need as many boats helping out this year as possible, and hope this gift will serve as an incentive," Chalabala said.
Volunteers are encouraged to sign up in advance, as lunch and t-shirts will be provided. To volunteer or for more information, please contact E.J. Chalabala, Delaware Center for the Inland Bays, at 302-226-8105 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Oh Ricardo, Before i forget to mention. If power is a problem with SATA disks, consider that in general Maxtor diskdrives eat a LOT more power than those of several other manufacturers. At least that's when i read the power consumption that's written on the disk itself and compare it to others. Note this didn't stop me from buying 4 maxtor S-ATA drives, as i expect those drives to fail soon, and when one fails i want to bicycle only 1 street to a computershop here which only sells Maxtors (of course, as it brings him the most profit those disks). Returning disks to a computershop that's 100 KM away is always such problems. YMMV Yet i'm very interested in knowing reactions from others here what they find from those huge power differences in harddrives.

- The LAP-BAND®
- Why It's Different
- Is it Right for You?

Important LAP-BAND® System Safety Information
Indications: The LAP-BAND® System is indicated for weight reduction for patients with obesity, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 40 kg/m2 or a BMI of at least 30 kg/m2 with one or more obesity-related comorbid conditions. It is indicated for use only in adult patients who have failed more conservative weight reduction alternatives, such as supervised diet, exercise and behavior modification programs. Patients who elect to have this surgery must make the commitment to accept significant changes in their eating habits for the rest of their lives.
Contraindications: The LAP-BAND® System is not recommended for non-adult patients, patients with conditions that may make them poor surgical candidates or increase the risk of poor results (e.g., inflammatory or cardiopulmonary diseases, GI conditions, symptoms or family history of autoimmune disease, cirrhosis), who are unwilling or unable to comply with the required dietary restrictions, who have alcohol or drug addictions, or who currently are or may be pregnant.
Warnings: The LAP-BAND® System is a long-term implant. Explant and replacement surgery may be required. Patients who become pregnant or severely ill, or who require more extensive nutrition may require deflation of their bands. Anti-inflammatory agents, such as aspirin, should be used with caution and may contribute to an increased risk of band erosion.
Adverse Events: Placement of the LAP-BAND® System is major surgery and, as with any surgery, death can occur. Possible complications include the risks associated with the medications and methods used during surgery, the risks associated with any surgical procedure, and the patient's ability to tolerate a foreign object implanted in the body. Band slippage, erosion and deflation, reflux, obstruction of the stomach, dilation of the esophagus, infection, or nausea and vomiting may occur. Reoperation may be required. Rapid weight loss may result in complications that may require additional surgery. Deflation of the band may alleviate excessively rapid weight loss or esophageal dilation.
Important: For full safety information please click here, talk with your doctor, or call Apollo Customer Support at 1-855-551-3123.
CAUTION: Rx only.

BTW, I understood 500 jobs to be totally agnostic about each other, as if they were calculating different things using the same dataset. If these are 500 tasks within the same job, well, that's an entirely different matter. If they are just jobs, it really doesn't matter if there are 5 or 500, as by default with Hadoop 0.20 at least jobs are executed in FIFO order. Further, if the user programmed his or her application to be configurable for number of mappers and reducers, it is trivial to match the number of mappers to the slots in the system and reducers similarly (though often reducers is something much lower, like 1 per node). Assuming the 30GB dataset is in 30 1GB files, which shouldn't be hard to guarantee or achieve, each node will get 1 of these files. Therefore the user simply specifies that he or she wants (let's assume 2 map slots per node) 60 map tasks, and Hadoop will silently try to make sure each task ends up on one of the three nodes (assuming default triplication) that have a local data copy. > Alternatively keep the replication at 3 (or a.n.other defined number) > and limit the number of jobs to the available resources where the data > replicates pre-exist. The challenge is finding the sweet spot for the > work in progress and as always nothing is ever free. With only 30 nodes and 30 to 60GB of data, I think it is safe to assume the data exists /everywhere/ in the cluster. Even if Hadoop was stupid and randomly selected a node there would be a 1/10 chance the data was already there, and it's not stupid, so it will check all three of the nodes with replicas before spawning the task elsewhere. Now if there are 1000 nodes and just 30GB of data, then Hadoop will make sure your tasks are prioritized on the nodes that have your data or at least, in the same rack as the nodes that have it. > So HDFS does not remove the replication process although it helps to > hide the processes involved. As I've said, if you set things up properly, there shouldn't be much, if any, replication, and Hadoop doesn't help to hide the replication -- it totally obscures the process. You have no hand in doing so. > The other joy encountered with HDFS is that we found it can be less than > stable in a multi user environment, this has been confirmed by various > others so as always care is required during testing. I'll concede that original configuration can be tough, but I've assisted with management of an HDFS instance that stored ~60TB of data and over 10 million files, both as scratch and for users home dirs. It is certainly stable enough for day to day use. > There are alternatives to HDFS which can be used in conjunction with > Hadoop but I'm afraid I'm not able to recommend any in particular as > it's been a while since I last kicked the tyres. Is this something that > others have more recent experience with and can recommend an alternative ? I'm working on an alternative to HDFS as we speak, which bypasses HDFS entirely and allows people using MapReduce to run directly against multiple NAS boxes as if they were a single federated storage system. I'll be sending something out to this list about the source when I release it. Best, ellis

The Ravens have won the Super Bowl, which can be the ultimate blessing and the ultimate curse. While players like Ray Lewis can walk into the sunset after winning a championship, the franchise must go on — and the roster will inevitably be raided during free agency and the target on the team undoubtedly will grow.
It happened to the Ravens quickly, prompting predictions of doom and gloom. But then Elvis Dumervil fell into Baltimore's lap, and the mood quickly changed.
More than four months later, the Ravens remain near the top of the heap, giving them as good a chance as any team to become the first franchise to repeat since the 2003-04 Patriots.
John Harbaugh has become one of the best coaches in the NFL, yet there's still a sense he's not viewed that way. He should be. Five years as head coach, five playoff appearances, at least one playoff win each year. Owner Steve Bisciotti needs to make sure Harbaugh never gets out of Baltimore.
To keep Harbaugh, the Ravens won't have to pay him nearly as much as they paid their best player, quarterback Joe Flacco. He parlayed a Super Bowl win into a six-year, $120.6 million contract, and chances are he'll only get better as he gains more experience and confidence.
Matching Harbaugh's and Flacco's five years in Baltimore is running back Ray Rice, who when teamed with up-and-comer Bernard Pierce could create the best backfield in the league.
The arrival of Harbaugh, Flacco, and Rice all in the same year reconfirms the quality of a front office led by G.M. Ozzie Newsome. Indeed, Newsome has become the first General Manager to build two separate Super Bowl-winning rosters in the salary-cap era, with only one player (linebacker Ray Lewis) bridging the two championship teams.
The Ravens have plenty of other strengths, from tight end to portions of the offensive line, to the defensive line, to the cornerbacks. Why shouldn't they? They won the Super Bowl.
Of all the departures, none hurt more than receiver Anquan Boldin. There's simply no one else on the roster who can make catches consistently and confidently while otherwise covered, as Boldin did throughout the 2012 season — and in the Super Bowl. Quarterback Joe Flacco needs someone to whom he can throw the ball in the vicinity, knowing that the player will catch it. Until Flacco has that, it'll be hard for him to move the offense in the face of pressure.
Of all the men who left, the least expected was inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbe, who bolted for Miami. With Ellerbe gone, Ray Lewis retired, and newcomer Rolando McClain also retired, they need guys to step up with talent and leadership.
Ditto at the safety position, where Ed Reed and Bernard Pollard are gone — and Michael Huff and rookie Matt Elam try to fill the void. Until they show they can do, it's a position of concern.
Where do we start? Linebacker Ray Lewis retired, linebacker Paul Kruger left for Cleveland, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe left for Miami, cornerback Cary Williams left for Philadelphia, receiver Anquan Boldin was traded to San Francisco after he refused to take a pay cut, safety Ed Reed left for Houston, center Matt Birk retired, and linebacker Rolando McClain signed as a free agent and retired after his latest off-field incident.
Joining the roster are linebacker Elvis Dumervil, safety Michael Huff, defensive lineman Chris Canty, and defensive lineman Marcus Spears.
Sure, more talent went out the door than walked through it. But the Ravens know how to reload from within. And they will.
Position battles.
With Matt Birk retired, the center position is open. Gino Gradkowski, sixth-round rookie Ryan Jensen, and newcomer (via trade with Colts) A.Q. Shipley will compete for the ability to avoid being thrown into the legs of quarterback Joe Flacco.
Beyond Torrey Smith, the depth chart at receiver is undecided. And the decision of Super Bowl hero Jacoby Jones to spend a large chunk of the offseason on Dancing With the Stars may not help his case for a starting job — or perhaps even a roster spot.
The defensive line jobs also are up for grabs to a certain extent, with Chris Canty and Marcus Spears hoping to take reps from guys not named Haloti Ngata.
The Ravens consistently have been underrated and overlooked in recent years. Even after winning the Super Bowl, many think that the Ravens are destined to collapse.
Sorry, but it's impossible to ignore five straight postseason appearances, a great head coach, a great quarterback, and a front office that knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.
The Ravens won't be folding 'em any time soon. Though a repeat could be too much to expect, it's not nearly as out of the question as many presume.

The spectator is asked to choose between a red deck and a blue deck of cards. Let's pretend they chose the blue deck. The blue deck is placed inside their pocket (or handed to a friend to hold) until later.
The red deck is slowly spread between your fingers as the spectator is asked to merely think of any card they see. Keep in mind this is a 100% completely free choice!
Without ANY funny moves the card completely vanishes!
Next you ask them to remove the blue deck from their pocket, they are surprised to see that inside is one red card, the mentally chosen card. Strong enough for any Professional act, Easy enough for a Beginner.

Emerging Market Strategy Q2 2018: Internal strength, external risks
Risks to an asset class come in two varieties—internal and external. In past cycles, the main risks to emerging markets came from within (overheating economies, FX peg regimes amid external deficits and hard currency-denominated sovereign debt, among others). But as we assess the prospect for EM equities, the risks today appear to be primarily external, not internal.

Haley Johnsen Has 'Sweet Dreams' Gone Wrong On 'American Idol'
Haley Johnsen took a huge risk on 'American Idol' tonight performing 'Sweet Dreams' by the Eurythmics, and it didn't quite pay off for the Top 24 contestant. Before her disappointing performance, Haley brought us to her hometown of Beaverton, Ore. We fell in love with the 23-year-old's bubbly personality and so wanted her to succeed.
Haley definitely showed off the "fearless side" she talked about in her video package by singing such a difficult and unique song. We didn't mind that Haley came off almost as sexy, which is not the norm for 'Idol,' but that she screamed most of the high notes. Haley has an amazing husky tone that she wasn't able to show off due to her song choice.
The lights and images flashing behind Haley throughout the song seemed nightmarish, a sentiment Randy Jackson seemed to echo. He played off the song's title, saying that, "it was a bit of a nightmare instead of a sweet dream," and that it was "pitchy all over the place." Sadly, we have to agree with the suddenly rational Jackson.
Jennifer Lopez told Haley: "[you have] great skills and soul in your voice, but [that was] not the perfect song for you." Lopez hoped America would keep her around. Steven Tyler added that he loved the way she acted on stage. While we hope Haley advances to the next round, we aren't too sure after this performance.

This week I am trying to deal with my never ending frustration with Google. They abruptly discontinued GFC at the beginning of the year, after I spent so much time and effort to get followers, and now I have learned that they will be discontinuing parts of Feedburner. Thanks a lot, Google! In the meantime, I am searching for a new solution for subscribing to the blog and for daily email updates, because I don't know if they will work after 10/20, and I no longer trust Google. Feedcat seemed like a good choice, but it's been down most of the day as I write this post. Very frustrating! Do you have any suggestions? How are you dealing with the discontinuation of Feedburner APIs?

Ashton Kutcher Attends Kenny Chesney Show, Splashes Water on Paparazzi
Over the weekend, Ashton Kutcher donned a cowboy hat and a plaid shirt — again — to catch Kenny Chesney's show in Anaheim, Calif. The self-professed country music fan was having a good time until paparazzi from X17 started snapping photos of him. Whether he was irritated or feeling playful, we're not sure, but Kutcher chased away the cameras by splashing a bottle of water on them.
Ever since his misinterpreted performance and over-the-top country attire at the ACM awards in April, country stars and fans have been wary of the 'Two and a Half Men' star's devotion to the genre. Before presenting Miranda Lambert with the Female Vocalist of the Year award, Kutcher came onstage wearing a black cowboy hat and an exaggerated red blazer. Just to ham it up for the crowd, he even sang a bit of George Strait's 'I Cross My Heart' before presenting the award.
Not one to sit back quietly while someone makes fun of her friends, Lambert took to Twitter to confront the 34-year-old actor about the situation. Justin Moore joined in, saying that he didn't appreciate Kutcher making fun of the way country artists dress. The actor quickly responded, hoping to clear the air by assuring that he is a big country music fan.
Lambert and the actor met face to face again soon after the incident, and smoothed things over — even taking a friendly photo together. But country music fans aren't as quick to forgive, and many have a hard time believing that the small screen star is really all that country. Buying tickets to see Chesney play in California is one way to prove naysayers wrong, but we're really not sure what to think of Kutcher's bizarre water-throwing actions. Maybe he's just tired of everyone saying he's not a true country music fan.

Based on real-estate choices alone, it doesn't appear Mike Wallace believed he had a long-term future with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Wallace never bought a home in his four seasons in Pittsburgh, preferring to work off a series of six-month leases at fully furnished apartments.
Wallace now is house hunting in South Florida after signing a $60 million contract with the Miami Dolphins in free agency. It's a fresh start for the dynamic wide receiver, who points out that the feeling around his new team is much different than his previous one.
"Everybody has a college mentality around here," Wallace said, according to The Miami Herald. "It's a lot different than where I came from. Everybody's hungry. Everybody wants to get better, get to where we need to be -- that's a winning record."
Did complacency settle in with the Steelers in Wallace's last season? We're sure Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Tomlin would disagree.

Definition [des-puh-tiz-uhm]
1. the exercise of absolute authority.
2. absolute power or control; tyranny.
3. an absolute or autocratic government.
The despots I am referring to are the Delhi masters of our ineffective administration here. What a waste of time in writing all those posts thinking the current government really had the intention and more importantly, the means and power to implement changes.
I am a very straightforward person and weigh most things with the evidence at hand. The current evidence that I have in regards to the events surrounding the murder of Javed Ahmad and Muhammad Amin is that the current administration called for an inquiry which was concluded ahead of the deadline, five days ago, and indicted the Indian army soldiers in that murder. Since that time, the original deadline came and passed with us not even knowing the names of the culprits, let alone any indications of them being brought to justice. There is absolute silence from Omar Abdullah regarding this matter even though he had promised "exemplary" punishment if the soldiers were indicted.
In reality though, those soldiers are probably enjoying life here at their base in an occupied school in Bomai, getting drunk every night and laughing and sharing stories of this conquest with their cohorts knowing very well no power in Kashmir can lay a hand on them; the paper-tiger that the Kashmir government has always been, with the real power residing in Delhi.
The inquiry report is not even worth the eleven pages it was written on. However, simply for the sake of curiosity, I am really interested to find out what "exemplary punishment" Omar Abdullah had in mind while trying to pacify Kashmiris.
I feel that the evidence clearly points to the fact that Omar Abdullah wanted the killers punished; therefore, I will not accuse him of being a cohort or insinuate that he is responsible for the deaths. At the same time, I have to emphasize that the facts prove what Mirwaiz Umer and other Hurriyat leaders have all along advised Kashmiris - that the Kashmir government is merely a "puppet regime", with the strings infact being pulled in Delhi. The events surrounding this inquiry proves this beyond any reasonable doubt. It is clear that Omar Abdullah wanted the soldiers punished; a majority of the members of the Assembly wanted them punished, and yet no action was taken against the Indian soldiers; therefore, any reasonable person will come to the conclusion that the Indian masters in Delhi did not approve of this action of Omar Abdullah and his administration had no choice but to comply with the orders from Delhi.
As a result, it makes no sense in me wasting my precious time in writing about a government which is incapable of taking action even though it agrees with what you are saying but comes up with an excuse that the "boss upstairs disagrees".
I have better things to write about. I would rather use the same time and energy in writing about strengthening the Hurriyat and other more important topics. The deaths in Sopur really affected my writing plans. People outside of Kashmir cannot even fathom how these attrocities by the Indian forces affect our lives. These crimes thwart our creativity. Our thinking is blinded by grief, sorrow, and anger. How are people supposed to sit down, have a clear chain of thought and jot down their ideas when their minds are preoccupied by thinking about survival techniques when encountering barbaric Indian soldiers. When we know that these criminals do not need a reason to shoot us dead, and when they do, they wont even get punished. Such are the thoughts that go through our minds, and therefore I can be forgiven if I decide not to write about other trivial things, and just concentrate on using my talent in exposing the brutality of the Indian occupation of Kashmir.

Thurmond vs. Trufant?
Clearly Thurmond was immensely better than trufant has been all year, and in man coverage he was tighter to the receivers then truant has ever been. YOU CAN'T PUT GOD AWFUL TRU OUT THEIR NOW!!!!
Malcolm Smith vs. Leroy Hill?
As for Leroy Hill or should I say Malcolm Smith the guy fills the wlb role... at least better than Leroy has...
Farewell Leroy Hill and especially Marcus Truant... Loved you guys in the 2000's
Answer this? Is their any way Pete and Bradley put either those of guys out their... Personally their is no way trufant plays again out their and Leroy Hill may not get his job back. And obviously neither of them will be on the team next year (possibly leroy hill for depth maybe but I strongly doubt that..about 5% chance)
