Be Our Guest .... Rachel of do. Good Stitches
Hello, I'm Rachel & I LOVE to sew, embroider and crochet with lots and lots of color. You'll find I'm always stitching something lively from home decor to quilts, and a bit of kid stuff too. But it hasn't always been this way - I learned to sew summer of 2009 and didn't start sewing with a passion until last year.
Sewing is to me a privilege (oh, the fabrics!), a rejuvenating hobby and a way to benefit children in poverty. At my blog, Stitched in Color, I'm currently hosting Blogger's Pillow Party, a social event and contest with quite honorable judges.
I'm mother of two little ones that keep me busy, but not too busy for nighttime creating. I have two web stores (here and here) and we homeschool too. Phew! It sounds more exhausting than it is.
Actually, life is wonderful – sweet, beautiful and changing everyday. A big "thanks!" to all the inspiring bloggers who share this friendly space with me!
If there's anything more fun than sewing, it's sewing with friends. And that's why we're here - on blogs, on Flickr, in Swaps, in bees. All the joy of creating x community = big love. So, naturally, by the time I had stitched the binding on my first quilt, spring of 2010, the quilting bees were tempting me something awful. But something stopped me.
Fact is, I don't need many quilts for our house. There's just this bed, that bed and the other. I refuse to own stacks of quilts, however wonderful, that aren't being loved and used.
And, then there was this other dream - to do some good with my love for fabric and thread. To help others. Make quilts for people who actually need them. Children that don't have quilting mamas, or aunts, or grandmothers. A quilting bee for charity would be perfect!
Now, 4 months after that first finished quilt, I am so amazed with how do. Good Stitches has grown. I am thankful for each one who has joined in to give of time and fabric to do this work. It's been such fun to get to know each other and to be stretched in new experiences of pattern and color. We have grown to a total of six sewing circles. With each circle making one quilt per month for a variety of charities, that's a lot of people we will be blessing in 2011!
Here are a few of the quilts that have been completed so far:

Quilted by Jeni for the Hope Circle

Please visit our Flickr group to learn how our bee works. You can fill out the New Members Form if you'd like to join the waiting list. We're looking for modern quilters who enjoy being active on Flickr. There are two levels of participation, so even if you're somewhat new to quilting, we welcome you to get involved!
Thanks so much for being our guest today Rachel!
Would you like to 'Be Our Guest..' ? Do you have a community project to share, a tutorial perhaps or something fun to tell us about that has a handmade focus? Drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com

MEMS (micro electro mechanical systems) are miniaturized 3D devices consisting of microelectronic components (integrated circuits) and micromechanical, optical, chemical, biochemical, or micro-optical components. MEMS technology is a rapidly emerging field with a high-growth rate. Motion sensors, micro mirrors, microphones, gyroscopes, and accelerometers are just a few types of the MEMS devices that are found in consumer applications such as cell phones, television sets, digital cameras, gaming consoles and laptops.
The manufacturing process of MEMS devices includes proximity or contact lithography to generate micro machined mechanical features. With most device types a double side lithography step, in which the front side pattern needs to be precisely aligned to the back side, is required. EV Group offers lithography systems with special configurations to suit the MEMS manufacturing requirements.
Featuring moving components at a micron scale, many MEMS devices require silicon wafer bonding - for example silicon or glass bonding - as a method to hermetically seal and encapsulate the device in order to create a first-level package. The EV Group wafer bonding systems are designed for volume manufacturing of MEMS and perform all wafer bonding techniques utilizing EV Group's unique process separation principle. Modular configurations facilitate the transfer of R&D processes to production, and the equipment supports various wafer sizes and materials. EV Group's wafer bonding equipment achieves the highest yields for aligned wafer bonding in the industry.

The £85,000 limit relates to the combined amount in all the eligible depositor's accounts with the credit union, including their share of any joint account, and not to each separate account.

Natural Nights 600 Winter Weight Down Comforter-Twin (68" x 90")
How does it feel? As we get older we certainly aren't sleeping any longer, are we? But the sleep we do get is very important and needs to be restful. Choosing the right down comforter for your bedding environment is critical. Our Natural Nights Light weight Down Comforter is designed to be both soft and light weight. Not too warm for the husbands, or our significant other that sleep like a 'furnace', while light weight enough if you need to add a layer to your side of the bed. Sleep Temp bedrooms 74 degrees and warmer.
Is this comforter right for me? Choosing a warmth level can be baffling. This German milled Oeko-Tex certified batiste long staple Egyptian cotton is 25% - 30% lighter than a sateen fabric making this comforter both extremely soft and light. Designed around the temperature of your room and not the temperature outside this light weight down comforter is ideal for those keeping their bedroom on the warmer side.
What is a baffle box design? Baffles are little walls which connect all the squares inside the down comforter preventing the down from shifting. Baffle box down comforters sleeps warmer than a box stitch design while preventing the cold spots at the seams common with a box stitch design down comforter. The greatest benefit of using a baffle box design is that it allows our RDS Hungarian white goose down to reach its maximum loft providing you with light weight warmth.
How much does my duvet cover matter? We go to great lengths and travel great distances to find light weight shell fabrics that allow the Hungarian goose down to be the star of the show. One of the goals when choosing those fabrics is for them to impact the design performance; light weight, year around or winter weight as little as possible. To preserve that performance choose a duvet cover made using low gram weight single strand long staple Egyptian cotton. You absolutely do not have to purchase your duvet cover from us but the ones we do offer are chosen specifically for their fabric quality and then cut to be dimensionally correct for our finished goods.

What You Call It
July 27, 2017
ALL JETLINERS wear registrations (numbers or letters that also indicate a plane's nation of origin) on the rear fuselage, but some also carry names. If a plane has been christened in honor of a place, person, or thing, look for titles on the forward fuselage. It's an old school practice, and one that I'm quite fond of. It makes flying a touch less impersonal and a touch more dignified. And any airline that bothers to name its planes, I feel, is one that takes its mission to heart.
Nobody did this with more panache than Pan Am, where each aircraft sported a distinctive Clipper designation — a carryover from the airline's grandiose earlier years when its flying boats pioneered routes across the oceans. There were nautical references (Sea Serpent, Mermaid, Gem of the Ocean), including a particular fascination with waves (Crest of the Wave, Dashing Wave, Wild Wave.) There were nods to Greek and Roman mythology (Jupiter, Mercury, Argonaut) and the inevitable heaping of faux-inspirational piffle (Empress of the Skies, Glory of the Skies, Freedom). A few of them made you wonder if Juan Trippe and his boys weren't tippling too much scotch in the boardrooms over on Park Avenue: Water Witch? Neptune's Car? Young Brander? Turns out those were taken from old sailing vessels.
When the wreckage of Pan Am 103 fell onto Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, the only part of the plane to remain somewhat intact was the very front – a decapitated portion of the forward fuselage including the cockpit and first class cabin. It was crushed when it landed, on its side, but still it looked like a piece of an airplane, which is more than you can say for the rest of the jet. It was widely photographed and became a news icon in the days and weeks that followed. There it was, on the front of every newspaper and magazine, and it is easily found on the Internet today. The photo shows detritus and debris everywhere, wires and shredded metal, all surrounding this impossibly still-dignified chunk of a Boeing 747. There's the blue stripe, the paint barely scratched. And there, just above the oval cabin windows in frilly blue lettering, you can still read clearly the words Clipper Maid of the Seas.
Most airlines don't bother with this sort of thing anymore, but a few still do. Here you can see a couple of KLM examples, photographed last weekend at Amsterdam-Schiphol. KLM names its jets after capital cities, national parks, waterfalls, famous inventors, explorers, and so on. At the top of this page we see the Federation Square, Melbourne, an Airbus A330 preparing to depart to Kigali, Rwanda. (The carrier also has a 747 dubbed City of Melbourne.) And here's the Nahanni National Park, a 777 destined for Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (Nahanni is in Canada, which in this case adds a peculiar incongruity). Just down the concourse, this Kenya Airways 787, The Great Rift Valley, is readying for a flight to Nairobi.
KLM has retired its fleet of MD-11s, each of which was named after a famous woman. There was the Marie Curie, the Florence Nightingale, the Audrey Hepburn, and several others. In years past, KLM's 747s all were named after rivers. In 1977, the Rhine collided with Pan Am's Clipper Victor on the Spanish island of Tenerife, in history's deadliest air disaster.
Turkish Airlines names its spotless Boeings and Airbuses after Anatolian cities. You can ride aboard the Konya, the Goreme, or the Isparta. Flying Virgin Atlantic, which styles itself a bit more provocatively, you might have a seat on the Tubular Belle, the Barbarella, or maybe the Varga Girl. Lufthansa does cities, Hawaiian Airlines does seabirds and constellations. Aer Lingus goes with Irish saints, no surprise there, with the names both in English and Gaelic. Each aircraft at Scandinavian Airlines wears a Viking name. For a while, Air Namibia was flying a 747 named Welwitschia, homage to a strange desert succulent that grows in the Namibian wilds and can live for centuries.
Aboard South African Airways several years ago, I rode a pair of 747s, the Durban, and the Bloemfonetein on my return (cities in South Africa). If unsure, I needed only to check the wooden plaque near the upper deck stairs, emblazoned with a crest and scroll. I thought the plaque added an elegant, ocean liner sort of touch.
I miss the Austrian carrier Lauda Air, now part of Austrian Airlines, which remembered artists and musicians with the Gustav Klimt, the Miles Davis, and even a 737 named Frank Zappa.
On the other hand, enough already with jetBlue's insufferable, too-cute riffs on the color blue. I don't advocate hurling tomatoes at Airbuses, but here are some deserving targets. I can live with Idlewild Blue (Idlewild is the old name for Kennedy Airport, jetBlue's home base), and even Betty Blue. But That's What I Like About Blue, Fancy Meeting Blue Here, or Bippity Boppity Blue are too much to take. What was I saying about dignity?
Some years back, United christened several jets in honor of its highest-mileage frequent flyers. Imagine not getting an upgrade on the very plane with your name on its nose!
And before somebody brings it up… Yes, we know, there was also the Enola Gay. Even more famous, however, was the L'Esprit de Moncton — the Spirit of Moncton — the 19-seat turboprop captained by a swashbuckling young idiot in an ill-fitting uniform. Plane and pilot are immortalized in the historic photo below, taken on the apron in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1993.
Right, so now let's play a game. When Donald Trump had his airline, the Trump Shuttle, its Boeing 727s weren't named. But if The Donald had, in fact, lavished names upon his planes, what would some of them have been, do you think? Leave your suggestions in the comments section below.

This story is about Alex and it is a true story, but his name has been changed to protect the innocent, namely Roe in case he reads this.
Alex likes to hunt and fish, he just isn't lucky and is a little out of shape for the things he want's to do. Take the time he went hunting in the National Forest. He was still-hunting on the side of a steep ridge, when he slipped, fell, and rolled down to land on a gravel road. He didn't know how long he laid there since he was knocked out. Another hunter driving down the road found him lying there unconscious and thought he was dead.

One of the new blogs I've been reading is the cool Cocktail Parlor, out of Vancouver, B.C., a city I'd love to go visit one of these days. In an entry last week, Damin linked to a site called VideoJug, a repository of videos meant to explain and illustrate topics ranging from health and cooking to finance and drinks.
Video Jug has a great section on cocktails, with professional, fun videos showing great bartenders at work on specific drinks. It was there I found the As Cool as Zeta cocktail, from Zeta Bar, in London's Park Lane Hilton. Zeta's head bartender, Mauro Pisano, puts together a yummy drink made of gin, cucumber (hence the "as cool as" reference in the dorky name), and cilantro.
Mauro has an interesting approach to building a cocktail menu–putting the fruit first and emphasizing the health benefits of produce-laden drinks.
The wifeling and I enjoy a bit of cuke in a drink, whether it's the hint of cuke in Hendrick's gin or sliced cuke garnishing a cool martini, so I wanted to try As Cool as Zeta. We had no cilantro, but basil makes a good substitute. (In the voiceover intro to the video how-to, the announcer actually says the drink uses mint, but then the recipe calls for cilantro. I can't tell whether cilantro's considered a type of mint or whether the narrator simply misspoke. Regardless, I think spearmint or peppermint would work well in this drink, too.)
As Cool as Zeta is a well-balanced, well-layered drink and a good addition to my repertoire. Check out VideoJug when you've a chance, and be sure to drop by Zeta Bar when you're in London. I certainly plan to.
As Cool as Zeta
- 1 small cucumber, or ½ medium cucumber
- 2 basil leaves
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. simple syrup
- 2 oz. gin
- Cucumber peel, for garnish
- Basil sprig, for garnish
Technique: Peel the cucumber, leaving a thin strip of peel on the cucumber to provide extra flavor and color to the drink. Retain a strip of peel for garnish.
Dice the cucumber and add to a blender, along with the other ingredients.
Blend for 10 seconds. Using a wire-mesh strainer, strain the blended drink into a mixing glass. Gently press the mash to squeeze all drops of the precious drink into the glass.
Fill the glass with ice, and cap off with the metal part of your Boston shaker.
Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Add garnish.

This is the opening line of Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, quoted to remember the good times she gave our family. She died Thursday, September 6, in Litchfield, CT. She was 88 years old.
Following are excerps from the NY Times story, "Madeleine L'Engle, Writer of Children's Classics, Is Dead at 88" of September 8, 2007.
Madeleine L'Engle, an author whose childhood fables, religious meditations and fanciful science fiction transcended both genre and generation, most memorably in her children's classic "A Wrinkle in Time," died on Thursday in Litchfield, Conn. She was 88.
Her death was announced yesterday by her publisher, Farrar, Straus & Giroux. A spokeswoman said Ms. L'Engle (pronounced LENG-el) had died of natural causes at a nursing home, which she entered three years ago. Before then the author had maintained homes in Manhattan and Goshen, Conn.
"A Wrinkle in Time" was rejected by 26 publishers before editors at Farrar, Straus & Giroux read it and enthusiastically accepted it. It proved to be her masterpiece, winning the John Newbery Medal as the best children's book of 1963 and selling, so far, eight million copies. It is now in its 69th printing.
. . . it was in her vivid children's characters that readers most clearly glimpsed her passionate search for answers to the questions that mattered most. She sometimes spoke of her writing as if she were taking dictation from her subconscious.
"Of course I'm Meg," Ms. L'Engle said about the beloved protagonist of "A Wrinkle in Time."
"Wrinkle" has been one of the most banned books in the United States, accused by religious conservatives of offering an inaccurate portrayal of God and nurturing in the young an unholy belief in myth and fantasy.
Ms. L'Engle, who often wrote about her Christian faith, was taken aback by the attacks. "It seems people are willing to damn the book without reading it," Ms. L'Engle said in an interview with The New York Times in 2001. "Nonsense about witchcraft and fantasy. First I felt horror, then anger, and finally I said, 'Ah, the hell with it.' It's great publicity, really."
"Wrinkle" is part of Ms. L'Engle's Time series of children's books, which includes "A Wind in the Door," "A Swiftly Tilting Planet," "Many Waters" and "An Acceptable Time." The series combines elements of science fiction with insights into love and moral purpose.
Madeleine L'Engle Camp was born in Manhattan on the snowy night of Nov. 29, 1918. The only child of Madeleine Hall Barnett and Charles Wadsworth Camp, she was named for her great-grandmother, who was also named Madeleine L'Engle.
Her mother came from Jacksonville, Fla., society and was a fine pianist; her father was a World War I veteran who worked as a foreign correspondent and later as drama and music critic for The New York Sun. He also knocked out potboiler novels.
The family lived on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Her parents had artistic friends, and Madeleine an English nanny. She felt unpopular at school. She said that an elementary school teacher — Miss Pepper or Miss Salt, she couldn't remember which — regarded her as stupid.
Madeleine had written her first story at 5 and retreated into writing. When she won a poetry contest in the fifth grade, her teacher accused her of plagiarizing. Her mother intervened to prove her innocence, lugging a stack of her stories from home.
When she was 12, Madeleine was sent to a boarding school in Switzerland, Chatelard, and at 15 to Ashley Hall, a boarding school in Charleston, S.C. Later she graduated from Smith College with honors in English. (She did not take science classes, which was often a surprise to readers impressed with her science fiction.)
Returning to New York, Ms. L'Engle began to get small acting parts. Several plays she had written were produced. She published her first novel, "The Small Rain," in 1945. And she met the actor Hugh Franklin while they were touring in a production of Chekhov's "Cherry Orchard." They married in 1946.
"I think that fantasy must possess the author and simply use him," she said in an interview with Horn Book magazine in 1983. "I know that is true of 'A Wrinkle in Time.' I cannot possibly tell you how I came to write it. It was simply a book I had to write. I had no choice.
"It was only after it was written that I realized what some of it meant."
For more than three decades, starting in 1966, Ms. L'Engle served as librarian and writer in residence at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine. One or two of her dogs often accompanied her to the cathedral library.
"Why does anybody tell a story?" she once asked, even though she knew the answer "It does indeed have something to do with faith," she said, "faith that the universe has meaning, that our little human lives are not irrelevant, that what we choose or say or do matters, matters cosmically."
Most of us can only remember the names of 2 or 3 of her books, but she was a very prolific writer.

Valve Beta Boosts Linux Gaming Full Steam Ahead
Sep 26, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Valve Software will later this year beta test 300 hardware boxes running its Linux-based SteamOS, a standalone operating system for entertainment appliances in consumers' living rooms.
The prototype box for the Steam platform, which is optimized for gaming in the living room, is completely upgradable and open.
Beta testers are encouraged to hack or mod the box.
This "will mean that there are lot more games ... coming to Linux," said Jordan Cwang, managing editor and cohost of Linux Gamecast Weekly.
"The [Linux] market is damn ripe for exploitation," Cwang told LinuxInsider. "The next-generation consoles are essentially locked-down personal computers, so when Valve releases an open console based on commodity hardware that anyone can make for the same price or less, we're going to see a rise in interest for PC -- especially Linux -- gaming."
Steam "likes to dream really big, and they're disruptive in the sense Google likes to be disruptive," remarked Lewis Ward, a research manager at IDC.
More on Steam Boxes
Valve is working with multiple OEMs to bring "a variety of Steam gaming machines to market" during 2014, all running the Steam OS.
The machine being tested is aimed at users who want maximum control over their hardware. Other boxes will optimize for size, price, quietness or other factors.
All the nearly 3,000 games on Steam will be available during the beta. Hundreds of them already run natively on the SteamOS, and the rest will work seamlessly through in-home streaming, Valve said.
Testers can submit feedback as bug reports, forum posts, concept art, 3D printers, haikus and publicly stated opinions, to the Steam Universe Group.
"This is the first step in a really long process of trying to create a new game platform for the living room that is going to please hardcore gamers and be driven primarily from their perspective," IDC's Ward told LinuxInsider.
The Wisdom Of The (Gaming) Crowd
"Valve starts with the gamers and lets them tell it what's good or not, and then incorporates what's good for the company," commented IDC's Ward. "The console OEMs, who have a much larger managerial infrastructure, are going to put their own profits first and gamers second."
Overall, Linux "tends to be more developer-driven, so it'll be interesting to see how Steam's strategy plays out," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT www.pund-it.com, told LinuxInsider.
"It does serve [Valve's] interest that [SteamOS] is a free and open source OS that can be picked up by any OEM, and they're basically piggy-backing on top of Android," IDC's Ward said.
"They have the potential over time to succeed, as long as they have great hardware, tied to great software, and a great gaming environment, despite the disadvantages of being so late to market and taking on the entrenched companies," Ward concluded.
Giving Linux a Boost
Linux gaming has been marginalized by game vendors, largely because it "had a pretty bad rap in the early days," said Linux Gamecast Weekly's Cwang. "You needed to actually know what you were doing to get the system up and in a workable condition."
There have been some attempts to offer games for the Linux platform, including Loki Software porting Windows games over, and the open source gaming scene is alive and well, but "without big name games on the platforms, no one is really going to bat an eye at it," Cwang pointed out.
Loki declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2001.
"I think with SteamOS and the looming Steam Box, this is going to change in the next few years," Cwang continued.
The impact of Valve's announcement has already been felt -- AMD and Nvidia have reportedly improved their driver support for Linux.
Nvidia has been criticized openly by Linux founder Linux Torvalds, but on Monday, it reached out to the Noveau project, which builds free drivers for the company's graphics cards.

First published in 1940, Photographs of Mexico is drawn from Strand's 1932–1934 journeys to multiple states surrounding Mexico City, places where the social aftermath of the Mexican Revolution remained palpable. The portfolio suggests the evolution of his "collective portrait" method: the artist photographed individuals, the landscape, architecture, and handmade goods to give a fuller understanding of a region and its culture. He would later apply this method to New England, France, Italy, Egypt, Ghana, and the Outer Hebrides. A socially conscious photographer, Strand hoped that his collective portraits would foster positive change in the world.
Photographs of Mexico was limited to 250 copies, and was reissued as The Mexican Portfolio in 1967. The hand-pulled photogravures—lush, detailed prints made from photographic images that were transferred to an etching plate and run through a printing press—were brushed with Damar varnish, adding to their deep sepia tone.

FWIW, we installed one of the first Ammasso based clusters. Still working on building some stuff for it. Mostly for StarCD. I won't comment on positioning other than to say that they occupy an interesting price performance niche. Infiniband is dropping rapidly in price, and is getting more attractive over time. As recent as 6 months ago, it added about $2k/node ($1kUS/HCA + $1kUS/port) to the cost of a cluster. More recently the cost per port appears to be quickly moving towards 400 $US, and the HCA's are dropping so that you can add only $1kUS to the price per node for your cluster. If you select the right switch, which you need anyway for your command and control net, you can get good port-port latencies. I think the next reasonable question to answer is fundamentally what is the cost benefit analysis? If you are performance bound and have an infinite budget, you need to look at the highest performance fabrics. Currently the Ammasso is not that. If you need to optimize performance versus cost constraints, and your code gets some boost from the lower latencies vs ethernet, the question is whether or not the value of that performance is enough to justify the added cost of the cards. >>>Would anyone have hands on experience >>>with performance, usability, and cost aspects >>>of this new RDMA technology? >> >>they work, Agreed. I would like to see a LAM implementation in addition to the MPICH. The installation is actually not that hard, and I have a simple perl script to auto-generate an rnic_cfg file from your host IP according to some simple rules. > but it's very unclear where their natural niche is. Not sure I agree with this. If there were no value in TCP offload, then why would Intel announce (recently) that they want to include this technology in their future chipsets? Basically the argument that I make here is that I think there is a natural place for them, but it is on the motherboards. Much in the same way you have an Graphics Processing Offload Engine in desktop systems, though in the case of motherboards, they found value in supplying the high performance interface rather than the offload engines. I personally think that the offload engine concept is a very good one. I like this model. With PCI-e (and possibly HTX), I think it has some very interesting possibilities. >>if you want high bandwidth, you don't want gigabit. Agreed. Out of sheer curiousity, what codes are more bandwidth bound than latency bound over the high performance fabrics? Most of the codes we play with are latency bound. I wrote a message passing example for my class with a humorous name to illustrate passing vectors (or matrices). I could easily turn this into a bandwidth test by using huge vectors. But I am not sure that most folks are doing that in their codes. >>if you want low latency, you don't want gigabit, agreed ... >> even RDMA-gigabit. I think a CBA is worth doing (and we may do this). If it gives a 5% boost for a 2% increase in cluster cost, is that worth it? If it gives a 30% boost for a 2% increase in cost, is that worth it? What fundamentally is the right cutoff (rhetorical question, cutoff varies based upon needs, funds, application,...) [...] > In reality the bandwidth/latency hunger gets even bigger in future when the > cell type processors arrive.

I haven't looked at the design in detail, but it looks like you are going to need a multistage resource scheduler to handle streaming data into the cell. Think of it as a super-multi-core NPU that has a more general instruction set. The Itanium has been out for a while and compilers for it are still maturing. VLIW^H^H^H^H^EPIC is hard. Anyone remember Trace Multiflows? I would not expect to see a gcc for the cell (and now watch IBM make me eat my words). I would expect that programming it is going to be a challenge.

Again, this is going to be difficult to program for in all likelihood (and if there are IBMers out there with this who know I am wrong, please let me know, or even better, let me at it :) ). Good compilers are hard. Very good compilers are rare.

The subcommand imqusermgr add adds an entry to the user repository, consisting of a user name and password:
imqusermgr add [-i brokerName] -u userName -p password [-g group]
The -u and -p options specify the user name and password, respectively, for the new entry. These must conform to the following conventions:
All user names and passwords must be at least one character long. Their maximum length is limited only by command shell restrictions on the maximum number of characters that can be entered on a command line.
A user name cannot contain an asterisk (*), a comma (,), a colon (:), or a new-line or carriage-return character.
If a user name or password contains a space, the entire name or password must be enclosed in quotation marks (" ").
The optional -g option specifies the group (admin, user, or anonymous) to which the new user belongs; if no group is specified, the user is assigned to the user group by default. If the broker name (-i option) is omitted, the default broker imqbroker is assumed.
For example, the following command creates a user entry on broker imqbroker for a user named AliBaba, with password Sesame, in the admin group:
imqusermgr add -u AliBaba -p Sesame -g admin

Who knew there are calories in ground cumin?
I watched Michael Mosley's Horizon documentary, Eat, Fast and Live Longer, on BBC2 last year with interest. Michael Mosley set himself the challenge to live longer, stay younger and lose weight. Goals that many of us can identify with. His research concluded that intermittent fasting could help achieve those goals and settled upon the 5:2 way of eating. That is 5 days of normal eating and 2 days of fasting (when you limit the calories you eat to 500 calories for women or 600 calories for men) each week. I'm no scientist, but the potential (not yet proven in humans) health benefits seem to make sense and, for that reason, I decided I was willing to take a punt and give it a go for a little while.
I have never counted calories before in my life. A little naive maybe, but I had no idea that foods like cucumbers actually contained much in the way of calories. Aren't cucumbers about 90% water? Don't get me wrong, it's not that I've never had to reign it in to lose the pounds that have crept on, but I've done that by reducing portion sizes, cutting out snacks, limiting my monstrous cheese intake and laying off the booze (...well, just a little). Never has the way I've eaten been so scientific. And believe me, for someone who abhors maths, all the calculating and counting had my head in a bit of a spin at the beginning.
I love food. I love cooking. I love creating new recipes. So I saw this as a challenge. Making nutritious food that is both delicious and low in calories. After eating the 5:2 way on and off since Christmas (with a big break thanks to pneumonia) I've found that the best way of approaching fast days (for me) is to abstain from food all day and then have a decent sized main meal in the evening, which means that sometimes I can even have carbs.
This is one of the tastiest, most satisfying fast day dinners I've had so far. A huge bowl of comforting, spicy soup.
Serves: 1
Prep time: 15 minutes (excluding making the stock)
Cook time: 10 minutes
Calories per portion (approx): 360
100g king prawns (peeled weight - approx 4 large unpeeled prawns), peeled & deveined
100g pak choi, sliced
50g mange tout
50g beansprouts
30g oyster mushrooms, sliced
2 spring onions, sliced
1-2 bird's eye chillies, finely sliced
2-3cm piece fresh ginger, finely sliced
300ml good vegetarian stock (see more below)
1/2 tsp brown miso paste
1 tsp fish sauce (or soy sauce)
fresh coriander
50g glass noodles (cooked according to packet instructions)
Put the stock in a pan with the miso paste and fish sauce and heat through. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Put the stock in a pan with the miso paste and fish sauce and heat through. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Blanch the pak choi, mange tout and oyster mushrooms for 1-2 minutes, remove from the water and set aside. Then cook the prawns in the same water until pink and cooked through and set aside (again 1-2 minutes depending on the size of your prawns).
Put the glass noodles, vegetables, prawns, spring onions, chillies and ginger in a big bowl and pour over the stock. Add some roughly chopped coriander to serve.
Good vegetarian stock:
I use this recipe from Kellie's blog Food to Glow to make vast quantities of vegetarian stock which I then freeze in 1 person portions so that I have some to hand whenever I fancy noodle soup. I then add in whatever other flavours and seasoning I want before I use it.

Washington, D.C., April 23, 2007 — Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and Federal Trade Commission Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras today announced the completion of the President's Identity Theft Task Force strategic plan to combat identity theft.
The strategic plan is the result of an unprecedented federal effort to formulate a comprehensive and fully coordinated plan to attack this widespread and destructive crime. The plan focuses on ways to improve the effectiveness of criminal prosecutions of identity theft; enhance data protection for sensitive consumer information maintained by the public sector, private sector, and consumers; provide more comprehensive and effective guidance for consumers and the business community; and improve recovery and assistance for consumers.
"Identity theft is a crime that goes far beyond the loss of money or property," said Attorney General Gonzales. "It is a personal invasion, done in secret, that can rob innocent men and women of their good names. The strategic plan we are releasing today is part of a comprehensive effort to fight this crime, protect consumers, and help victims put their lives back together."
"Identity theft is a blight on America's privacy and security landscape," said FTC Chairman Majoras. "Identity thieves steal consumers' time, money, and security, just as sure as they steal their identifying information, and they cost businesses enormous sums. The Strategic Plan submitted to the President provides a blueprint for increased federal prevention and protection."
Although much has been done to combat identity theft, the specific recommendations outlined in the Strategic Plan — from broad policy changes to small steps — are necessary to wage a more effective fight against identity theft and reduce its incidence and damage. Highlights of the recommendations include the following:
The Task Force's recommendations also include several legislative proposals designed to fill the gaps in current laws criminalizing the acts of many identity thieves, and ensure that victims can recover the value of the time lost attempting to repair damage inflicted by identity theft. These proposals include the following actions:
The plan was released at an authentication workshop which resulted from an earlier recommendation of the Task Force. In addition to the release of the Task Force's Strategic Plan, a Web site was launched today, http://www.idtheft.gov, which contains the full Strategic Plan, and will eventually serve as clearinghouse for educational resources for consumers, businesses, and law enforcement on ways to prevent and detect identity theft, and help victims recover.
The Identity Theft Task Force, co-chaired by the Attorney General and the FTC Chairman, was established by Executive Order of the President on May 10, 2006, and is now comprised of 17 federal agencies and departments, including the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Task Force will continue its work over the coming months, and play a central role in the implementation of the Strategic Plan.

Here's a preview of the NBA's Western Conference teams, in predicted order of finish:
1. Golden State Warriors
Last Season: 73-9.
Coach: Steve Kerr (3rd season).
Playoffs: Lost in NBA Finals to Cleveland, 4-3.
2016-17 Forecast: The Warriors finished with an all-time NBA-record 73 wins last season – and actually got better. They signed Kevin Durant in free agency, giving them a starting lineup with four All-Stars — Durant, PG Steph Curry (the reigning MVP), SG Klay Thompson and SF Draymond Green.
The Buzz: It's title or bust, of course, for the Warriors now that they are looking to avenge their Finals...

Help! . I've lost the syntax highlighting in the ORM fact editor: any text I type in is black. Does anyone know how to restore the syntax highlighting? I've already tried quite a few things like uninstalling NORMA and VS2012. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Karl,
Getting editor colors to work got significantly harder for the VS2012 release. It sounds like something is off in your color settings, but I don't verify the colors are properly registered because it is already flagged in the registry as being checked for this NORMA version, meaning that it won't recheck until you install a newer version. The issue is discussed in this MSDN thread.
The first thing to try is to:
The first option works like a charm! Syntax highlighting is working again. Thanks for the help.

Condoms: Papal Pontifications, a Quicker Quickie and CCCCs (Common Condom Complaints and Conundrums), Part One
By Bob Frascino, M.D.
December 2, 2010
So, a few years back a dude named Sergio-Gaylord (really, that's how he signed his post) wrote to me in The Body's forum Safe Sex and HIV Prevention concerning the subject of "man-bag condoms"!
He wrote:
Hey Dr. McHandsome,
I'm about to enter into the sexually active period of my life. I'm 25 and I can't wait to impress the ladies with my wit and fashion! I'm writing because I'm concerned about carrying condoms in my pocket or wallet. Should I carry them in my man-bag instead or would that be too ticky-tacky?
Thanks for your prompt reply,
Sincerely yours,
And folks wonder why I would voluntarily choose to be an expert on this site. This kind of stuff is priceless, far more entertaining than even Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy. And it gives me the chance to respond back with scientific facts and proper bedside manner and decorum.
Response from Dr. Frascino:
You refer to me as Dr. McHandsome; you're 25 but only now about ready to enter into the sexually active period of your life; you expect to impress ladies with your wit and fashion; you carry a man-bag and your name is Sergio-Gaylord????? Whoa! There are so many rainbow flags waving in that message that it's only one penis Popsicle away from a Gay Day parade.
Dude, first off, when someone mentions man-bag on this site, I think scrotum.
To answer your question, condoms can be comfortably carried in your pocket or attaché case or stored for handy use in your nightstand "goody drawer."
Next, you may well be as straight as a lawn dart, but the tone of your post makes me wonder if you could bottom for Liberace. Either way, of course, it's fine with me. I just want you to be safe and sexually content and never-ever ticky-tacky.
Good luck.
Dr. Bob
OK, OK, never mind about the proper bedside manner and decorum, but the scientific stuff was absolutely sound!
I'm amazed at all the things that can go wrong when trying to suit up before a dive into the love canal of your choice. Consequently I thought we should tackle the top five CCCCs (common condom complaints and conundrums). But before addressing the omnipresent "condoms feel too tight" or "condoms break" or "condoms turn my Mr. Stiffy into Mr. Softy," etc., I feel compelled to discuss perhaps the world's greatest condom catastrophe: Pope Benedict XVI.
Actually he and "the church" deserve multiple blog entries to address their shamefully immoral discrimination against women, homophobia and criminal conspiracy to cover up mass child rape, but in light of today's topic, I'll restrict my rant to the Pope's comments on condoms. Let me back up a bit to May 2005, shortly after the current pontiff took office, when he made his first formal pronouncement on the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Speaking to bishops from South Africa (where someone dies from AIDS every two minutes), Botswana (where 28.9% of the adults are HIV infected) and Lesotho (23% of adults infected), the Pope came out strongly against condoms! Such an enlightened and compassionate individual, eh?
In March of 2009, while visiting Cameroon where 540,000 have HIV/AIDS, the Pope proclaimed HIV/AIDS "cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which even aggravates the problem." WTF? Condoms aggravate the problem??? How clueless can one dude in an expensive dress and funny-looking hat be???
In May 2009 the Congolese Bishops' Conference gladly embraced the pontiff's pontification, stating: "In all truth, the Pope's message, which we received with joy, has confirmed us in our fight against HIV/AIDS. We say no to condoms!" This is an oxymoron made by a bunch of morons who have sabotaged HIV-prevention efforts in the name of religion! Shame on them!
The Pope's minions have demonized condoms in some truly shocking and morally reprehensible ways, including outright lies. In 2001 Archbishop Francisco Chimoio of Mozambique announced that European condom manufacturers were deliberately infecting condoms with HIV to spread AIDS in Africa! One out of every eight people in Mozambique is HIV infected. Columbian Cardinal Alfonzo Lopez Trujillo had the dubious honor of infamously claiming that the HIV virus can pass through tiny holes in latex condoms! WOWZA! Excuse me, but aren't popes, cardinals and bishops supposed to at least tell the truth?
So now Ratzinger has made headlines once again with this now-famous quote: "There may be a basis in the case of some individuals, as perhaps when a male prostitute uses a condom, where this can be a first step in the direction of a moralization, a first assumption of responsibility." Color this HIV specialist (and recovering Catholic) unimpressed! That some are reading the Pope's comments as a milestone merely shows how much of a parallel universe the Pope and his minions choose to live in.
Somehow I doubt the true Higher Powers are all that pleased with or impressed by this pope's condom pronouncements issued at a time when two million lives are prematurely snuffed out each year by a disease that, although 100% fatal, is also 100% preventable.

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS — Texas Gov. Rick Perry indicated Monday that he supported allowing teachers and administrators to carry concealed handguns in response to the Connecticut school massacre that left 20 children dead.
Local school districts should decide their own policies, Perry said. But if someone has obtained a concealed-handgun license, he said, "you should be able to carry your handgun anywhere in this state." He clarified that private property owners should be allowed to impose their own restrictions.
Perry was asked about calls for stricter gun control laws Monday at a tea party forum in North Richland Hills. Perry said that he believed lawmakers should consider mental health issues as well as ways to make schools safer.
"It appears that this was a young man who was very disturbed," Perry said.
Some school districts across the state already allow school personnel to carry guns. When Perry talked about how he had read about one district allowing teachers, administrators and others to carry weapons, he was interrupted by loud applause from the crowd.
Perry has already directed Texas school districts to review their emergency operation plans in the wake of the massacre. His voice broke and he paused several times as he first acknowledged Friday's shootings, calling them a tragedy that "is not right."
"One of the things that I hope we don't see from our federal government is this knee-jerk reaction from Washington, D.C., when there is an event that occurs, that they come in and they think they know the answer," he said.
On stage with Perry were several Republican legislators who comprise what Perry called "the most conservative Legislature in the 28 years that I have served in Austin, Texas."
Perry told audience members that he and his staff would work with new GOP lawmakers on their bills. He said he would make it a priority to make Texas more attractive to businesses seeking to move from other states.
He also repeated his opposition to establishing a health insurance exchange or expanding Medicaid under the health care overhaul backed by President Barack Obama. Rising health care costs from Medicaid alone would continue to eat up more of Texas' budget in future years, Perry said.
"We're going to go bankrupt," he said. "So why would we want to add more people onto a program that already is headed in the wrong direction? I said it's not unlike putting a thousand more people on the Titanic when you know how it's going to end up."
Perry did not address issues in which he disagrees with some tea party activists, including term limits and business-recruitment funds. He declined to speak to reporters afterward.
He did take questions about running for president a second time in 2016. Perry said he learned two lessons from his failed run for the GOP nomination: get into the race sooner, and don't get into the race soon after back surgery, as he did last year. He said he would make "a number of decisions" about his future next summer.
"The presidency in 2016 is a pretty good piece down the road," Perry said. "But with that said, I think it is important for all of us to really focus on this legislative session. Surely, the most important thing that we do for this country is to make sure we continue to keep Texas as this place where people know that freedom is still very valued."

In the first installment of this series, we introduced a random entry system that based its entries on a virtual coin flip (see "Guide to trading system development," September 2012). The base system was backtested across four years of euro forex data to gather trade data for statistical analysis. As we saw, the base system was unprofitable. In mathematical terms, the base system has a negative expectancy of -0.81.
Expectancy is an important metric. It is the amount you can expect to win or lose for every dollar risked. It is calculated with the following formula:
(Winning percentage x Average win) – (Losing percentage x Average loss)
That is, the system loses 81¢ for every dollar risked. The astute reader likely recognized this aspect of the system as a stumbling block that often trips up the beginning system trader: It is unlikely, if not impossible, that a system with a negative expectancy can be made profitable through trade management. As it turns out, this system is unprofitable regardless of any stop loss or profit target that may be added.
This does not mean the system necessarily should be discarded. It often is the case that, though the first version fails, an adjustment to some aspect of it may result in a profitable system. In this case, there is another parameter of our demonstration system that can be adjusted: The entry time.
The 8 a.m. (EST) entry was chosen arbitrarily. This may be the critical variable that can salvage our model and allow system development to proceed. Indeed, this turns out to be the case. A simple optimization of the entry time (stepping from 3 a.m., EST, the London open, through 8 a.m., EST, in one-hour increments) creates a profitable system. When backtested across the same data, an entry time of 4 a.m. produces a net profit of $2,853. Expectancy is a positive 2.75. Now we can apply trade management techniques to see if we can improve the results.
