I have tried to grow these before but im not very well organised, however I have now got 12 seeds.
Hopefully a few of them will grow.
My strategy is to actually leave them in the pots until they explode out of them, like the Foxtail I got from the garage sale, there was virtually no soil left in the pot, it was all root matter and it seems very healthy for it now that its in the ground. My current Date Palms have yet to be born, as you can see.

Poems by Ram Tzu (Wayne Liquorman)

Ram Tzu is his poetic alter-ego (alter non-ego?). Liquorman teasingly says he published his poetry under the pen name Ram Tzu because he "didn't want a bunch of miserable seekers cluttering up his living room."
His poetry often reveals an iconoclastic sense of humor and sarcasm similar to Han Shan and some of the Zen rascals.
"For Ram Tzu, only Nothing is truly sacred."

|Need Help??
So, I am really wealthy all of a sudden...
Wealth attracts undesirable attention(or so I assume). Attention is not what I desire. Nor would I want to give up my newly attained wealth to avoid attention. What better place than here at the monastery to spend ones time? No one here would know that I am wealthy, yet I would have time to do what I really like: learn Perl.
I suppose that I would spend equal amounts of time here in virtual space and on my farm in meat space. Those are the two places where wealth (or lack thereof) really don't matter, and where no one would be the wiser.
Nice to think about... . One thing though, there is an old anecdote about a farmer who wins the lottery.
He was asked; "what are you going to do now?".
He responded; "Keep on farming til its gone I guess.... ".
I reckon so ...
...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

'Extant' review: Unusual conception for sci-fi drama
Plenty of space to speculate about astronaut's inexplicable pregnancy
If you've snagged Halle Berry to star in your new TV drama, what else do you need?
That's a tough one to answer about the new sci-fi family drama "Extant," because CBS allowed critics to see only the pilot of Mickey Fisher's promising new series, premiering on Wednesday.
As Tracy said of Hepburn in "Pat and Mike," "There ain't much meat on her, but what's there is cherce."
"Cherce" may not be enough to make a series work in the long run, but it'll do for the pilot as astronaut Molly Woods (Berry) returns from a 13-month solo stay in an orbiting space station to discover she's inexplicably pregnant.
Almost before you can make the obvious connection to "Alien," we're caught up in Molly's family life and how she will spill the news to husband John (Goran Visnjic), not to mention how she can be pregnant when she was entirely alone for 13 months. Her friend and doctor, Sam Barton (Camryn Manheim), can't explain it either, but the fact of the pregnancy is indisputable.
The Wattses already have a child, their "son" Ethan (Pierce Gagnon, a mini Brent Spiner), a very lifelike android John has created. John and Molly each have complicated feelings about Ethan. John, a futuristic Geppetto of computer science, believes that treating Ethan as human and, more important, as their biological son, can instill human emotions in him.
Molly is making an effort to behave like Ethan's real mother, but she can't quite make the necessary emotional connection with him. Yes, Ethan is learning emotions, but as an android, does he really have the tools to deal with them? And how will he react when he learns he will have a human brother or sister in several months? He's already exhibiting some disturbing playground habits.
There are more questions than answers in the pilot of "Extant," which, in this case, is a good thing. The seeds of dramatic conflict have been planted, and we're going to come back the next week to see how all of this plays out.
Something did happen in space, that much we know because we saw it. Or did we? And even if what we saw wasn't a hallucination, what is actually gestating in Molly's womb?
Although the series title is pretentious (or sounds like the name of a laxative - take your pick), "Extant" makes good use of Berry's skill at portraying a likable, apparently average woman suddenly having to deal with extraordinary events or circumstances. The script shortchanges her when it comes to reacting to the news of her pregnancy and how she is dealing with whatever she thinks happened in space, but that's because Fisher doesn't want us to know too much just yet.
The rest of the cast is fine, although Visnjic and Berry have very little chemistry. He seems an odd choice to play her husband at this point, but he does OK portraying an obsessed scientist with an obvious God complex.
Gagnon's is the most memorable performance in the pilot, making Ethan the most interesting character. The young actor is able to make Ethan enigmatically placid at one point and turn on an emotional dime a second later. Holding your own while sharing screen time with an Oscar winner isn't the worst way for a kid actor to get some visibility.
It's easy to see what attracted producer Steven Spielberg to Fisher's project: It's both science fiction and family drama. That combination hasn't always worked for Spielberg's TV projects, but with the care Fisher has put into his script, and having an A-lister as the show's star, it's easy to have great expectations for "Extant."
Extant: Dramatic series. 9 p.m. Wednesday on CBS.

Bil VornDick
The successful musical career of Bil VornDick spans well over three decades. When Bil was a teenager he enjoyed recording his songs in the studio and that passion led him to record and produce other groups in his region. Signing his songs to a publisher in Nashville at the age of nineteen, Bil was able to meet the leading heads of the music industry in Nashville, who encouraged him to attend Belmont University where he gained a B.B.A. in Music Business.
Directly after graduation Bil was hired by Country Music Legend and Country Music Hall of Fame member Marty Robbins to be his Chief Recording Engineer. This position offered him the opportunity to work with the leading stars in Country Music. Over the years in Nashville, Bil became known internationally as one of the leading Engineer/Producers in his field.
Bil has worked with a list of artists in the studio that reads like a who's who of the Bluegrass and Americana Music world including Alison Krauss, Bob Dylan Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, T.Bone Burnett, Maura O'Connel, Mark O'Connor and Ralph Stanley, to name a few. Recently, he has produced an album called, Clinch Mountain Country that was released in May 1998, and is one of the largest collaborative recorded projects in Nashville, with thirty-six songs, thirty-two artists. The Collaboration won Album and Recorded Event of the year at IBMA in1999, plus #1 Country Album of the year in 1998 from Rolling Stone. The album Sweethearts by Ralph Stanley was a GRAMMY finalist for the year 2001. Over the years, Bil's work with other artists has resulted in forty-two GRAMMY finalists, of which eight were GRAMMY winners. He has around 500 albums to his credit, a number of which have gone Gold and/or Platinum. Bil's accomplishments have lead to #1 records in five different styles of music. When it comes to awards in acoustic music, Bil has received every one that can be won and in most instances he has many duplicates.
Bil's dedication to the music industry led him to serve on the Board of Directors of Belmont University's Advisory Board. He is also a "Producer & Engineer Wing" committee member of NARAS, which sets the delivery and archival standard for digital recorded media. He also gives back by giving his time to lecture at Middle Tennessee State University, the International Blugrass Music Association, MerleFest, South Plains College, Telluride Music Festival, and is an adjunct professor at Belmont University.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
This Thursday Israel will mark its annual Holocaust Memorial Day, a solemn remembrance of the 6 million Jews who perished in Nazi-controlled Europe.
Sirens will wail throughout the country and public life will come to a standstill for two minutes in honor of the victims. Israel Radio will talk about the importance of not forgetting the horrible past. But soon enough, it will be very difficult for most not to do so.
There are still 198,000 Holocaust survivors living in Israel, but every hour another one of them dies. In 20 years' time, no eye witness to that horrific chapter in human history will be left.
Today, Holocaust survivors talk to school children, students and soldiers to let them know their story first hand, a powerful means of conveying the message that something like this must never happen again. That is especially true in a time and region where Israel's enemies don't take the history of the Second World War seriously and even deny it for political gain.
Last year, the Israeli government's Holocaust survivors' fund spent over $100 million supporting the remaining survivors, but still some 60,000 Holocaust survivors in Israel live under the poverty line. They rely on the generosity and aid of Jews and Christians who both love Israel and are determined that these poor souls who experienced the very depths of human depravity are able to live out their remaining days in dignity.

Things to consider when seeking donations
Popular fundraising ideas
Questions to consider as you plan fundraising campaigns and consider grant opportunities:
Is your Fire Safe Council a 501(c)(3) organization?
v If you answered "yes", that's GREAT! Use the tax-deductible donation as a selling point when approaching potential donors/funders. You should plan to provide a receipt or other form of documentation (including your Tax ID #) to your donors to verify your organization's tax-exempt status.
v If you answered "no", you might consider researching the steps to becoming a 501(c)(3). Some good resources for information include:
- The Center for Nonprofit Management has published a great guide for starting a nonprofit. http://www.cnmsocal.org/images/downloads/startinganonprofit_getreadygetset.pdf
Check out the "Steps to Incorporation and Tax Exemption" page 24 of the handbook (page 30 of the PDF) for a handy to-do list that helps you understand the process.
- Secretary of State Application for Articles of Incorporation: http://www.sos.ca.gov/business/corp/pdf/articles/corp_artsnp.pdf
This is Step 1 – Becoming a state-recognized organization
- State of California Franchise Tax Board (FTB): http://www.ftb.ca.gov/businesses/bus_structures/Exempt_Organizations.shtml
Lots of information on being a tax-exempt organization, including the application
Do you need a fiscal sponsor?
If you are not a 501c3 or an organization that can receive donations, you might want to look for a fiscal sponsor. According to Nolo (a company that strives to make the law accessible to everyone), a fiscal sponsor is a "nonprofit, tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization that acts as a guardian of grants and donations for a fledgling group or project that hasn't yet applied for or received 501(c)(3) status" (http://www.nolo.com/dictionary/fiscal-sponsor-term.html).
A new Fire Safe Council can really benefit from developing a relationship with a fiscal sponsor. With a fiscal sponsor, your organization can elicit tax-deductible donations and/or apply for various grant programs, including the Grants Clearinghouse.
Here are some useful links for learning more about fiscal sponsorship:

The Vancouver Art Gallery presents exhibitions of work by artists ranging from historic masters to leading-edge contemporaries. These include major thematic exhibitions, presentations of solo artists and smaller, more focused showcases. In a typical year, 2 to 3 exhibitions are borrowed from other institutions and 10 to 12 exhibitions are developed in-house, drawing on our permanent collection and loans of works from around the world. In addition, the Gallery tours a few of its exhibitions each year.

Collection of Michael Audain and Yoshiko Karasawa
The role of private collectors in the art world has always been essential to both artists and museums. Private collections are formed in a variety of ways, yet some achieve particular distinction for their depth, breadth and quality. The works assembled by Michael Audain and Yoshiko Karasawa over the last two decades form one of the most important private holdings of work by First Nations and non-First Nations British Columbia artists. The Audains have created a collection that allows a particularly rich history of the art of British Columbia to be told.
Beginning with the powerful ceremonial objects of the First Nations peoples, Shore, Forest and Beyond: Art from the Audain Collection traces the important strands of artistic production in the province right up to the present day. The co-curators have selected some 170 works from the Audains personal collection, as well as past works they have donated for the Gallerys permanent collection. It features their particularly strong collection of the work of British Columbias most distinguished painter, Emily Carr, while presenting work by other prominent Canadian Modernists, including Lawren Harris, Frederick Horsman Varley and B.C. Binning. Their holdings of historical west coast indigenous art are complemented by a significant group of contemporary First Nations works, a number of which have been newly commissioned by the Audains. The photo-based art of the region has also received their careful attention, and they have been generous donors of works by Jeff Wall and Scott McFarland to the Vancouver Art Gallery. Finally, the exhibition includes another major area of focusMexican Modernismrepresenting the most significant collection of this art in Canada, with works by Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siquieros and Rufino Tamayo. The works presentedthe first extensive survey of the collectionprovide an overview of its richness and strengths.
Michael Audain has said that living with art has been one of the great joys of my life.?These works attest to the wide range of his interests and deep commitment to the province and its history. Although was not formed with the intent of showing it to others, the strengths of their collection make it one of the most distinctive in the country.
Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery and curated by Ian Thom, senior curator-historical, and Grant Arnold, Audain Curator of British Columbia Art.

Jasmine Reed Diffuser by Blaze On London
Our Aroma Reed Diffuser are the ultimate luxurious gift. These Diffusers effortlessly and continuously add an enveloping scent to any space. Each diffuser comes in their own display box, they make a fabulous go-to-gift.
Size : 50 ml
How To Get the Most Form Your Diffuser
How do reed diffusers work?
Each rattan reed contains about 20 'channels' that run the entire length of the reed. Much like 'mini straws', these channels grow up the oil into the top of the reeds. The scent is then naturally dispersed into the air through evaporation - leaving your surroundings smelling wonderful.
How often should I flip the reeds?
Whenever you notice the scene fading a bit or want an extra burst of fragrance. We would recommend turning your reeds once a week.
How often should I replace my reeds?
Replace reeds after they permanently stop diffusing. Over time, reeds can become clogged with dust. Before replacing, flip them. This usually starts the scenting process all over again. If this doesn't work, you reed are probably clogged with dust or overly saturated and in need of replacement.
What should I do if the bottle is not empty but the scent doesn't seem to be diffusing?
Flip the reeds over in the bottle exposing the 'wet' ends to the air. If the reeds have permanently stopped diffusing (due to clogging with dust for example) then simply replace with new reeds.
Can I reuse my reeds?
No. oNce the reeds have been used for a certain scent, you cannot use them for another scent. The recent that is absorbed into your reeds will mix with the new scent and could produce an undesirable combination.
How long do reed diffusers last?
There are many factors that contribute to how long the oil lasts. Fans, humidity, air conditioning, heating, closed doors, drafts, ext. However as a general guide, if used in appropriate conditions it can last you up to weeks.
Can I dilute the oil with water?
No. Oil and water do not mix. You'll end up with warped reeds and uneven wicking. If the scent throw is too strong simply remove a few of the reeds.
Volume & Dimensions
How to Use:
· Place the sticks that came with your reed diffuser into the bottle to absorb the essential oils.
· Flip sticks (not the flower) so that the 'dry' ends of the sticks are now closest to the bottle and the saturated end is in the air.
· Place unsaturated (dry) end of the sticks into the bottle.
· Let your reed diffuser naturally permeate your space. Reed diffusers will continue to evaporate into the air, creating a subtle and luxurious scent.
To Note:
· If you notice that the fragrance intensity is weakening, just flip the reeds.
· Less sticks means less scent. So in small spaces like bathrooms, we highly recommend using fewer sticks.
· Always take care when placing on wooden surfaces because essential oils can leave marks.

Happy Valentine's Day, from New York Fashion Week
Happy Valentine's Day everybody! I hope you have a lovely day, whatever your plans. In the spirit of Valentine's Day, it seems a timely opportunity to celebrate some of the styles currently seen strutting down the New York Fashion Week catwalks. From the ultra-feminine and romantic, to over/understated glamour and to body-hugging, flirtatious sexiness, it seems that love may be in the air for Fall 2012. Yet, many designers presenting their collections now have seemingly created looks to inspire your outfit for Valentine's Day... here are some ideas to try, or simply to enjoy:
- Be bold with the rose theme and push romance to a brave new level (Marc Jacobs).
|Marc Jacobs, Fall 2012 RTW, New York Fashion Week
- Add daring to a dainty dress by choosing a deep red colour, and decorate with same-coloured accessories (Alice + Olivia).
|Alice + Olivia, Fall 2012 RTW, New York Fashion Week
- Eye-catching embellishments on an otherwise understated dress will transform your look (Lela Rose).
|Lela Rose, Fall 2012 RTW, New York Fashion Week
- Don't be afraid to wear exactly what you want. Mix prim & proper with princess-y and a touch of humour (Chris Benz).
|Chris Benz, Fall 2012 RTW, New York Fashion Week
- Eschew the dress altogether, in favour of androgynous glamour, made feminine with some special lace and heels (Tribune Standard).
|Tribune Standard, Fall 2012 RTW, New York Fashion Week
- Go for length and show skin sparingly. Shoulders and lower arms maintain elegance and class (Diane von Furstenburg).
- If the grecian goddess look works for you, it always will. Enjoy the flowing fabric and add some sparkle where possible (Erin Fetherston).
|Erin Fetherston, Fall 2012 RTW, New York Fashion Week
- If your figure looks best skimmed into a shapely silhouette, avoid overt sexuality with dramatic details: high(ish) necklines, 'boxy' accessories and slicked-back hair (Catherine Malandrino).
Do you have a favourite Valentine's Day-inspired look? Which New York Fashion Week shows have you most enjoyed so far? Don't forget to check City Girl on Twitter and City Girl on Facebook, for regular show updates and other news.

The Artist: Peppy Miller, Fashion Inspiration
The Artist was possibly the most bewitching film of 2011. Visually dazzling, heartwarming and seductively different, The Artist is a silent, black and white 'picture' that transports the viewer to the highs and lows of Hollywood's studio system in the 1920's. Poignantly rendered is the contrast between the period's hypnotic glamour and excitement, versus fast-approaching change and uncertainty. Winning 'Best Picture' and 'Best Actor' at the 2012 Golden Globes, the anticipation surrounding The Artist's hopeful success at the Oscars is high. If you haven't yet seen The Artist, I encourage you to book your cinema trip now! Here you'll find The Artist's showing times in London.
One aspect of The Artist that captured my imagination was the stunning wardrobe worn by Bérénice Bejo as 'Peppy Miller', the film's lead female role. The decadence of 1920's dress, with dropped waists, tassels, beads, feathers and headwear is - excitingly - a Spring/Summer 2012 trend, to which many fashion editors are crediting The Great Gatsby, due for release at the end of 2012. The Artist gives us more reason to relish this trend, thanks to the detailed and accomplished eye of costume designer Mark Bridges (The Fighter, Boogie Nights), who has deservedly been nominated for the 'Costume Design' Oscar. Bridges captures the supreme femininity, cheeky flirtation, liberation and meticulous embellishment of fashion during this fascinating decade. Peppy Miller's striking hair, make-up and accessories complement each outfit perfectly. Bérénice Bejo wears the 1920's style so well, creating an undeniable fashion inspiration, or icon, out of Peppy Miller.
As 1920's fashion is one of my 'ultimate' eras in style terms, I couldn't resist the opportunity to share with you some of my favourite 'Peppy Miller' looks:
Do you like 1920's style? Which fashion era do you worship the most?

The term "cloud" has become one of the most commonly used and most often misunderstood words in IT today. According to Logicalis, an international provider of integrated information and communications technology (ICT) solutions and services, when a company doesn't fully define what the cloud can do for it, it leads to a less-than-optimized strategy that underserves the organization. To help IT pros avoid common pitfalls, Logicalis has identified five mistakes companies make in their cloud strategies.
"If you ask 10 people to define 'the cloud,' you'll get 30 answers," says Steve Pelletier, cloud solution architect at Logicalis. "Cloud is a buzzword; you hear commercials and advertisements all saying 'Cloud, cloud, cloud.' But it's not a well-defined term and that leads to people not fully understanding the enormous opportunities that cloud computing can offer their businesses today. When businesspeople – even the most experienced IT pros – have a limited view of this nebulous term, 'the cloud,' it's hard for them to make the best decisions for their companies."

most recent model run
GFS (Global Forecast System) Global Model from the "National Centers for Environmental Prediction" (NCEP)
|4 times per day, from 3:30, 09:30, 15:30 and 21:30 GMT
|Greenwich Mean Time:
|0.5° x 0.5° for forecast time <= 180 hrs
2.5° x 2.5° for forecast time > 180 hrs
|Precipitation in mm (or litres per square metres)
The precipitation map - updated every 6 hours - shows the modeled precipitation in mm.
The precipitation areas are encircled
by isohyets - lines with equal amounts of precipitation. However, modeling precipitation is
still not very reliable. If you compare the modeled results with observed values you will
realize that the model is nothing better than a first order approach. Yet this chart is of some
use for forecasters.
Note: Based on international convention meteorologists use the metric system. 100 mm of precipitation is equivalent to roughly 4 inches.
|The Global Forecast System (GFS) is a global numerical weather prediction computer model run by NOAA. This mathematical model is run four times a day and produces forecasts up to 16 days in advance, but with decreasing spatial and temporal resolution over time it is widely accepted that beyond 7 days the forecast is very general and not very accurate.
The model is run in two parts: the first part has a higher resolution and goes out to 180 hours (7 days) in the future, the second part runs from 180 to 384 hours (16 days) at a lower resolution. The resolution of the model varies in each part of the model: horizontally, it divides the surface of the earth into 35 or 70 kilometre grid squares; vertically, it divides the atmosphere into 64 layers and temporally, it produces a forecast for every 3rd hour for the first 180 hours, after that they are produced for every 12th hour.
|Numerical weather prediction uses current weather conditions as input into mathematical models of the atmosphere to predict the weather. Although the first efforts to accomplish this were done in the 1920s, it wasn't until the advent of the computer and computer simulation that it was feasible to do in real-time. Manipulating the huge datasets and performing the complex calculations necessary to do this on a resolution fine enough to make the results useful requires the use of some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world. A number of forecast models, both global and regional in scale, are run to help create forecasts for nations worldwide. Use of model ensemble forecasts helps to define the forecast uncertainty and extend weather forecasting farther into the future than would otherwise be possible.

A New & Exciting Saturday Morning
Adams + Russell have proudly teamed up with the owner of coffeeblog.co.uk to bring the people of Liverpool a Free brew school.
Adams + Russell, based in Birkenhead, started the brew school. It was designed to give the people in the local district and surrounding areas something different on a Saturday morning.
The first part of the brew school gives visitors an insight into how fresh beans are roasted, where the green beans come from and the amazing smells you get from the different beans.
The second part explains how to make great coffee using different brewing methods, including the Aeropress, the Cafetiere and the stove-top espresso maker.
Coffee Blog Owner Delighted
Matt, from Adams+Russell got in touch with Kevin at coffee blog to ask him to get involved. Kevin was delighted to be invited down to the roastery and help out with such a great event.
Kevin, brought his video camera and expert knowledge and got involved with the customers at every opportunity.
Following the brew school, Kevin wrote a detailed article on his website.
The article touches on how he noticed the customers were helped out at every opportunity. Whether it was with choosing from the shelves or having a go at the brewing methods. The team were on-hand to help.
Kev titled the article Visit to Adams & Russell Coffee Roasters. He also said:
The brew schools they offer are brilliant for anyone wanting to increase their knowledge on coffee. How its grown and processed, how its roasted (you get to watch them roasting) and lessons on the main brewing methods.
It has changed the way I drink coffee for good
As part of the brew school, the visitors gave feedback on their experience. One lady said that after seeing the Aeropress brewing method, she would change the way she brews up every morning.
It was also mentioned by a member of the A+R team that once they started using the Aeropress, they never went back.
Another one of the visitors said:
Look no further than Adams + Russell. You can visit the roasters for free and they will welcome you in with open arms. You will be able to try their espresso. You can even take home a taste of their coffee of the month.
A third person said:
I just think the smell is AMAZING.
Buying coffee is made simple in the showroom
Adams + Russell Coffee roasters have created a showroom at the front of their roasting house. The general public can come in and see the beans being roasted. Their accessories are placed carefully in the front showroom and the choice of 52 choices are roasted to order.
Tristan Bartlett is the business development manager at Adams and Russell. He says the brew school is a great way for the general public to come and learn about coffee. They dont even need to own a cafe. On a Saturday morning when youre looking for something to do, think about coming to the roasters. Youll most definitely be surprised how much there is to learn.
You can also buy Adams+Russell Fresh coffee on their website

Expected Earthquake, Volcanic or Storm Activity
for the Next 1-5 Days
Are YOU Prepared?
June 18, 2005
By Stan Deyo
Home http://standeyo.com
Stan's analysis shows areas of possible earthquake or volcanic activity, or extreme storm conditions for the next 1 to 5 days. Pay particular attention to areas marked by white circles. The continuous yellow line denotes plate tectonic boundaries as well as the Ring of Fire. Go to Stan's earthquake map archives.
DEYO NOTES: For earthquake maps, see the USGS "shake maps" (click anywhere on the global map for a closer view). For quakes USGS may not list, go to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center's map and scroll to the bottom of the page for a global view. You can compare these maps for the next 5 days to Stan's NCODA maps, to see the hits of his seismic target zones (white circles).
Earthquake lists can viewed at EMCS and at USGS.
Ecuador's Geophysics Institute at the National Polytechnic School, does not list quakes on a daily basis as does the USGS and other entities, but when there are significant events, they post them in PDFs.
Disclaimer: Some of the forecast stress areas can be in error up to 30% due to cloud cover variations and false signals from buoys.

Talk:Arch User Repository
Removing / changing the part about [community]
IMO this whole part should just be removed now that community have been seperated from aur. But as a minimum it should be cleaned up, since there have been cases where it have confused users rather than help them:
Perhaps something like:
The [community] repo is enabled by default in
pacman.conf. If disabled/removed, it can be enabled by uncommenting/adding these two lines:
... [community] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist ...
Any typos would have to be fixed of course :p
Is community still disabled by default in abs.conf btw?
Mr.Elendig 21:37, 21 November 2009 (EST)
- I don't think the [community] section should be removed; improved, maybe. Where does this confusion arise from? What do you mean by "separated from AUR"? My understanding is that they are very much connected.

Data Security in LSST
LSST has two apparently conflicting goals:
- Openness - generous access to data by scientists and the public
- Security - reliable infrastructure and long-term data integrity
As a large and publicly exciting project, LSST can expect to attract many kinds of interest, ranging from scientific curiosity to active attacks. We must ensure that we:
- Encourage engagement by providing access to data
- Prepare for both attacks and disasters
- Ensure the functioning of our essential data-collection pipeline
- Protect the long-term integrity of our data
Important Dates
- May 15 - Annotated Outline
- August 2008 - Release Candidate for inclusion in NSF PDR
- October 2008 - NSF PDR due
Types of Security
- Physical Security -- buildings, networks, cables, electric power, physical machines
- System-level Security -- operating systems, processes, file systems, local user accounts & root access
- Applications -- services, registries, trust networks, bandwidth management
- User Access -- personal workspaces, job management, user interfaces
See also a table of LSST security realms.
- Mountaintop
- Network access strictly through base facility
- Important roles: Buffering, Network transfer to Base Facility
- Base facility (at La Serena)
- [Who can access?]
- No public access (all through collocated Data Access Center)
- Nightly processing (real-time)
- Data transferred to Archive Center
- Archive Center (at NCSA)
- [Who can access?]
- Data Archive
- Primary data processing
- Data access Centers
- Operated by LSST
- Collocated with the Archive Center (NCSA)
- Collocated with Base Facility (La Serena)
- San Diego
- Education and Public Outreach (EPO)
- Possibly others, independently funded
- Operated by LSST
Shared Facilities
Where LSST shares a site, we can expect to collaborate with other organizations on security, especially physical security.
- LSST will share a major new data center with NCSA, whose most notable resident will be the NSF supercomputing cluster Blue Waters which is expected to come online in 2011.
[Needed: list of other organizations whose facilities we will share]
How does security policy relate to:
- Disaster preparedness?
- Application performance? In particular, denial-of-service that exploits expensive computations?
- Measuring and ensuring data integrity?
- Data provenance (especially the relationship between authentication and data provenance)?

#Full #coverage #insurance #quotes
Car Insurance Coverages
Getting protection here is easy: See exactly what's recommended for you no more and no less with our car insurance estimator. You might just find that a package with every insurance coverage available (what some refer to as "full coverage insurance") isn't always the best option. Buy only what you need, save on insurance and feel confident.
Turn on the Coverage Checker tool during your quote (especially if you create a custom package) to highlight any areas where you might have too much or too little coverage.
For: At-fault repairs & medical care
Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability coverage protects you if you cause an accident; we pay for the other driver's medical bills (passengers' bills, too) and any damage. We even cover legal fees if you're sued (rare, but it happens).
Uninsured/Underinsured Bodily Injury
For: Not-at-fault medical care
Uninsured/Underinsured Bodily Injury coverage protects you if you're in an accident caused by a driver who either has no insurance or just not enough insurance. We pay for damages you incur, including medical expenses and lost wages.
Medical Payments
For: Any post-accident medical care
This protects you if you're in an accident; we pay for any medical care you and your passengers receive. We also cover medical care if you get hit by a car while you're walking or riding a bicycle. In some states, you might also get Personal Injury Protection it protects you the same way.
Coverages specifically for your vehicle
For: Any post-accident repairs
Collision coverage protects you if you get hit by, or hit, another vehicle; we pay for your car repairs. You choose a deductible and pay this portion to the repair shop after an accident, and we pay the rest of the bill.
For: Any other repairs
Comprehensive coverage protects you if your car is damaged by something other than a collision, such as fire, vandalism, hail or flood; we pay for repairs (after you pay the deductible). We also cover damage caused by hitting an animal and theft (if your car gets stolen).
Uninsured Motorist Property Damage
For: Unpaid not-at-fault damage
Uninsured Motorist Property Damage coverage protects you if you're in an accident caused by a driver who doesn't have insurance; we pay to repair damage to your vehicle (after you pay the deductible).
Roadside Assistance
Roadside Assistance coverage protects you if your car breaks down due to mechanical or electrical issues like a dead battery, a flat tire, or a lock-out, or if you run out of gas. We pay for towing services or roadside help.
Loan/Lease Payoff
For: Your car loan
Loan/Lease Payoff coverage, or gap insurance, protects you if your car is ever declared a total loss; we pay up to 25 percent over the actual cash value towards the amount you owe the lender.
Pet Injury
This helps you get care for your dog or cat if it's hurt in an accident; we pay for vet bills. It's included with your Collision coverage.
Rental Reimbursement
For: A car rental
This protects you if your car is being repaired as part of a Comprehensive or Collision claim; we pay for up to 30 days of a rental.
Custom Parts Equipment value
This protects you if items you add to your car get damaged; we pay to repair or replace them. We protect accessories like stereos and TV equipment, navigation systems, phones, custom grilles and spoilers, and custom paint.
Keep in mind that coverages, limits and deductibles vary. You'll get more information when you quote. All coverages subject to policy terms and conditions.

McClean to stay in Ireland squad
Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni has decided against kicking James McClean out of the squad after the Sunderland winger made a grovelling apology to his team mates for a foul-mouthed tweet.
McClean was furious that Trapattoni did not bring him off the bench on Friday night as the Republic struggled to a 2-1 win over eastern European minnows Kazakhstan.
In an apparent broadside at Trapattoni's refusal to call on his services, the Sunderland winger tweeted: "Delighted as a fan we got the the win.. Personal level fuming #f****njoke #embarrassing.''
Trapattoni spoke to McClean about the tweet, which the midfielder quickly deleted, and the player issued a full apology on the micro-blogging website on Saturday afternoon.
He wrote: "i apologise for my tweet last night, it was stupid, disrespectful and i let my frustration get the better of me which still aint an excuse.''
Trapattoni then also spoke to McClean in front of the whole squad before the player apologised to his team-mates in the room. Trapattoni had considered dropping McClean from his squad for the outburst, but the former Derry City man's apology means he has been retained for the Emerald Isle's international friendly against Oman at Craven Cottage on Tuesday.
The tweet once again raises questions about Trapattoni's relationship with some of his players. Having seen Damien Duff and Shay Given retire from international football this summer, the Italian was then disappointed by the actions of Darron Gibson, who refused a call up for these two games.
And last month Wolves utility man Kevin Foley turned down the chance to play for his country in their friendly against Serbia and vowed never to play for Trapattoni again because he felt the Italian "betrayed" him by excluding him from his European Championship squad.
Kevin Doyle has tried to play down talk of unrest and insisted the whole Republic squad are behind Trapattoni, whose position would have been under intense pressure had Doyle and Robbie Keane not scored two late goals to snatch all three points on Friday night in the former Soviet republic.
"Everyone is together," Doyle said. "Everyone respects the manager 100% and there is no other scenario. Honestly, it's the same as any squad I have been involved in with Ireland. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and feeling but as far as I can see everyone is right behind the manager and hopefully that win will ease the pressure on us."

But still... I > think there's scope for "safe" improvement? I don't think minimal, monolithic kernels are noticably faster, but they ARE obviously just as safe. even if you are religiously committed to a kernel annointed by RH, you can safely recompile the kernel. backing out of, oh, say, the 4k-stack patch is hardly going to screw up your disk driver. kernel modules are way cool if you're a driver hacker or you really do have peripherals that you only use occasionally. peripherals with really big drivers, I suppose. I've been tempted to compile in the myrinet driver, for instance, since I never want to unload it, and it ties itself to the kernel version anyway. > Also need to include the type of target app(s) I s'pose. My Nbody apps > are smokin' math stuff but the IO is quite light. So there'd be a fair you might try turning HZ down to 100. if it makes a measureable difference, please to post your results... regards, mark hahn.

I've mentioned a couple of times that I'd do it, and so I will. However, there's a sliiiiiight snag.
No, it has nothing to do with my ability to write such a guide; that's just time-consuming, nothing more. My concern is over what method people would prefer for such a guide.
Allow me to clarify. My Bootfighter Windom wiki, while still being useful and as organized as it can be, is still a cluttered mess. Cramming all the info about the competitive aspects of the game into one page tends to do that, so instead of revising it for UKWXP (seeing as the old information is still applicable), I initially decided to just start up a new page on EditThis just for UKWXP.
Then the modders wanted in on the wiki page.
I didn't mind the fact that they wanted coverage - just not on the page meant for talk about the gameplay. I then realized that starting up an entirely new, whole, multiple-page-spanning wiki for Windom might be feasible - it separates the clutter, allows more content than just mutliplayer strategies, and still manages to centralize it all. Wikispaces wouldn't be a bad place to put it all; hey, who knows, people may prefer it this way.
So the question boils down to this: should I just start up a UKWXP page, or make a new, entire multipaged wiki for the community altogether? I'm only willing to do the latter if it, you know, actually gets some decent use, so that's my warning. I honestly don't care which way the decision swings: I can do the work either way. I just need to know what's better for everyone else first.
Pros and cons as far as I'm concerned:
* With a separate page, the information is more centralized; after all, it's all right there on a single page, no links or navigation required. This does lock out other options on the page, though, still forcing, say, the modders to work with a different page.
* With a full wiki, there's less centralization and more navigation necessary, but at least things will be tidy and better looking. This is better if people want to branch out - adding mods, pilots, translations, and whatever to the place - but if no one uses it, it's really more effort for a whole lot of nothing.
Anyway, your thoughts. I need them.

Re: Input on a UKWXP Wiki
I think tidier with more navigation is better, but perhaps it'd be easier to start with a single page.

Doctor Who: where do I start?
As we approach series 8, a friend asked, "So, how do I watch Doctor Who? Do I start from the beginning? Where is the beginning? What do I do??"
This is a common question which I myself asked once, and getting an answer (from a Whovian friend) helped not be overwhelmed by over 50 years of episodes. So here is my take on it.
I'm assuming that the intent here is to watch past episodes to get a feel for it and understand context. You could of course simply start with the new, 8th season and move on from there, but there is so much good Who to watch! Also, Doctor Who builds on itself quite a lot, and, while usually not required, it's a lot more fun to get the references.
First of all, a quick summary of terminology and broadcasting history: Doctor Who was first broadcast in 1963 (with, obviously, the First Doctor), and went on somewhat steadily until the 90s (with the 8th Doctor appearing in a one-off movie). We'll call it "the original series", or "the old series". It then went on a hiatus for about 10 years. In 2005 the series resumed, with the 9th Doctor, and has been going on uninterrupted since. This is "the new series", or "the 2005 series".
Note that, in the Doctor Who universe, it's all the same Doctor. Same storyline and everything. The 2005 series was not a "reboot", not a "remake", not a "reimagining". It's just new episodes of the same series.
So, my general advice is: start somewhere in the new series until you've watched the whole of it it. Then, if you like it, go back and watch the old series (which has quite a different pace, and not everybody gets into it).
Having said all this, there are a few different options of specifically where to start, depending on your level of commitment:
Low commitment, or "Let's see what this is about"
If you just want to watch one episode and see what the fuss is about, I recommend watching "Blink" (10th Doctor, episode 3.10 of the 2005 series). When I first watched it, I played it again as soon as it was over :)
Alternatively (or following that), you can watch the double episode "Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead" (10th Doctor, episodes 4.9 and 4.10). The final scene is slightly silly, but overall it's excellent.
More alternatively (or following the two above), watch the 11th Doctor's first episode, "The 11th Hour" (episode 5.1). It works particularly well as an introduction, as both the Doctor and the production team are new.
Finally, even more alternatively, and to mention an episode with the 9th Doctor (remember, the first one to appear on the new series), you can watch "The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances" (episodes 1.9 e 1.10). An excellent sequence, with an excellent - and, in my opinion, underrated - Doctor.
At any point in this sequence (including at the end of it), you can decide you like Doctor Who after all, and jump straight to one of the following:
Small marathon, or "Let's see one Doctor from beginning to end"
If you're in the mood for a more uninterrupted marathon, start with the 11th Doctor (series 5), and watch it all the way through until season 7. Remember not to skip specials, including the 50th-year one.
Alternatively, start with "Silence in the Library" (episode 4.9, mentioned above) and watch it from there on. This means a few episodes at the end of season 4, a few specials that comprised the 2009 "series", and then the 11th Doctor. I love this final sequence of the 10th Doctor's episodes.
Watch it all the way to the end, then possibly any new episodes of series 8 that might have already aired (with the new 12th Doctor), then go back to 2005 and watch all that's left, in order.
Full Who Marathon, or "I want it all!"
If you think you want to watch it all anyway, and are willing to forgive a period of some inconsistency as they adjusted into the new series (but even then with excellent episodes, and, again, in my opinion an excellent Doctor), just go with series 1 of the 2005 series. Watch it all, rewatch a few, memorise lines, from then on it's up to you :)
Now, if you'll excuse me, after all this Who talk I feel like I have a marathon to start...

In a world economy plagued by troubles in the global financial system, the words "safe" and "bank" are rarely put together. The shake up of banking systems around the world raises the question: "Which banks are the safe banks?"
For the past 17 years, Global Finance has compiled a list of the World's 50 Safest Banks, and for the first time ever deemed it necessary to publish a mid-year list. The rankings were created through the comparison of long-term credit ratings (from Moody's Standard & Poor's and Fitch) and analysis of total assets owned by the 500 largest banks in the world.
For ease of comparison, we've listed the highest ranking bank in each country, as well as key statistics for each country's banking system. The size of the banking system was determined by value of assets held by the country's banks. It may surprise you where the safest banks in the world are located... click ahead to find out!
