With data volumes and user populations growing, its no wonder that database performance is a hot topic in developer and DBA circles.
Its also no surprise that continued performance improvements were one of the top design goals of the new MySQL 5.6 release which was declared GA on February 5th (note: GA means "Generally Available", not "Gypsy Approved" @mysqlborat)
And the performance gains haven't disappointed:
- Dimitri Kravtchuk's Sysbench tests showed MySQL delivering up to 4x higher performance than the previous 5.5 release.
- Mikael Ronstrom's testing showed up to 4x better scalability as thread counts rose to 48 and 60 threads (not so uncommon in commodity systems today)
Of course, YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) in real-world workloads, but you can be reasonably certain you will see performance gains by upgrading to MySQL 5.6. It is up to you whether you invest these gains to serve more applications and users from your MySQL databases, or you consolidate to fewer instances to reduce operational costs.
How about if you are using MySQL replication in order to scale out your database across commodity nodes, and as a foundation for High Availability (HA)? Performance here has also been improved through a combination of:
- Binary Log Group Commit
- Multi-Threaded Slaves
- Optimized Row-Based Replication
As well as giving you the benefits above; higher replication performance directly translates to:
- Reduced risk of losing data in the event of a failure on the master
- Improved read consistency from slaves
- Resource-efficient binlogs traversing the replication cluster
We will look at each of these in more detail.
Binlog Group Commit
Rather than applying writes one at a time, Binary Log Group Commit batches writes to the Binlog, significantly reducing overhead to the master. This is demonstrated by the benchmark results below.
Using the SysBench RW tests, enabling the binlog and using the default sync_binlog=0 reduces the throughput of the master by around 10%. With sync_binlog=1 (where the MySQL server synchronizes its binary log to disk after every write to the binlog, thereby giving maximum data safety), throughput is reduced by a further 5%.
To understand the difference this makes, the tests were repeated comparing MySQL 5.6 to MySQL 5.5
Even with sync_binlog=1, MySQL 5.6 was still up to 4.5x faster than 5.5 with sync_binlog=0
Gone are the days when configuring replication resulted in a 50% or more hit to performance of your master.
The result of Binary Log Group Commit is that MySQL replication is much better able to keep pace with the demands of write-intensive workloads, imposing much less overhead on the master, even when the binlog is flushed to disk after each commit!
Details of the configurations used for the benchmark are in the Appendix at the end of this post.
You can learn more about the implementation of Binlog Group Commit from Mats Kindahl's blog.
Multi-Threaded Slave
Looking beyond the replication master, it is also necessary to bring performance enhancements to the replication slaves.
Using Multi-Threaded Slaves, processing is split between worker threads based on schema, allowing updates to be applied in parallel, rather than sequentially. This delivers benefits to those workloads that isolate application data using databases - e.g. multi-tenant systems deployed in cloud environments.
Benchmarks demonstrate that Multi-Threaded Slaves increase performance by 5x.
This performance enhancement translates to improved read consistency for clients accessing the replication cluster. Slaves are better able to keep up with the master, and so users are much less likely to need to throttle the sustained throughput of writes, just so that the slaves don't indefinitely fall further and further behind (previously some users had to reduce the capacity of their systems in order to reduce slave lag).
You can get all of the details on this benchmark and the configurations used in this earlier blog posting
Optimized Row-Based Replication
The final piece in improving replication performance is to introduce efficiencies to the binary log itself.
By only replicating those elements of the row image that have changed following INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE operations, replication throughput for both the master and slave(s) can be increased while binary log disk space, network resource and server memory footprint are all reduced.
This is especially useful when replicating across datacenters or cloud availability zones.
Another performance enhancements is the was Row-Based Replication events are handled on the slave against tables without Primary Keys. Updates would be made via multiple table scans. In MySQL 5.6, no matter size of the event, only one table scan is performed, significantly reducing the apply time.
You can learn more about Optimized Row Based Replication from the MySQL documentation.
Crash-Safe Slaves and Binlog
Aka "Transactional Replication" this is more of an availability than a performance feature, but there is a nice performance angle to it.
The key concept behind crash safe replication is that replication positions are stored in tables rather than files and can therefore be updated transactionally, together with the data. This enables the slave or master to automatically roll back replication to the last committed event before a crash, and resume replication without administrator intervention. Not only does this reduce operational overhead, it also eliminates the risk of data loss or corruption.
From a performance perspective, it also means there is one less disk sync, since we leverage the storage engine's fsync and don't need an additional fsync for the file, giving users a performance gain.
Wrapping Up
So with a faster MySQL Server, InnoDB storage engine and replication, developers and DBAs can get ahead of performance demands. Bear in mind there is more to MySQL 5.6 replication than performance – for example Global Transaction Identifiers (GTIDs), replication event checksums, time-delayed replication and more.

moonOS 3 Review, Screenshots, Video
moonOS is another fantastic looking distro that has always put a lot of stock in appearance. Based on Ubuntu 9.04 Januty Jackalope and codenamed "Makara", the moonOS 3.0 release is no exception with plenty of improvements to moonControl, the moonOS system control center, moonGrub, moonSoftware, and more. Along with many interface improvements moonOS 3.0 uses the Linux 2.6.28-15 kernel, Firefox 3.5, Pidgin 2.6 and Xorg 7.4.
I decided to give moonOS a try and see how it would stand up to some basic daily tasks.
Live CD:
Because moonOS runs as a live CD I was able to test out the distro before installing it. Right away I think almost anyone will notice the speed of the moonOS live CD. It takes no time to get into the desktop and once you're there the navigation is not sluggish at all. I was especially impressed with the snappiness of the large icon animation. The quick speed of this distro says a lot if you consider the amount of eye candy included with moonOS.
The moonOS installation differed from the Ubuntu installer very little other than having the green color scheme applied, which looked great. In reviews of moonOS 2.0 I had read that it was painfully slow to install taking over an hour on average. I think this has been improved as installation took 30 minutes on my machine. An estimated time of completion shows underneath the installation progress bar. This was helpful at first but wasn't as accurate as I had hoped. My installation seemed to hang at 95% when the installer said "installing language packs". I clicked on the skip button underneath the progress bar and the install finished almost immediately. Other than that one potential hiccup the install went flawlessly.
A lot of Linux distro desktops look good in screenshots, but it usually doesn't take long to notice something that isn't working smoothly or doesn't quit fit right. This is really what I expected with the appearance of moonOS however what I found was quite the opposite.
By default the splash screen, login window, and desktop all are themed with a leafy blend of green and yellow. The menu is a dark green color with lighter green rollover and shadowed white text that pops out nicely. The menu rollover is animated nicely as well and only looks as good as it does because there's no lag what-so-ever. This is the same for the large icon strip the shoots down the right side. Default icons include (top to bottom) GIMP, Thunderbird, Writer(called "OpenOffice Word" here), Pidgin, Exaile, Synaptic, Terminal, Thunar, and a Calendar icon.
In the top are a few more icons that allow the user to access the home and root folder and "see file on desktop" option along with some system stats. These icons were equally useful and it made sense they'd be separated from the icon bar on the right.
After noticing how quick and elegant this distro was ending up I was hoping it could perform some of my daily tasks so that I could possibly make this install permanent and use moonOS to actually get something done. I noted a few things I must have on a day to day basis and tried to find a solution on moonOS right out of its box..
Network Connection – Almost all my activities require being connected to the internet. I was relieved when moonOS picked up my wired connection automatically.
Browsing The Web – I love using Firefox mostly because of the extensions and add-ons I use. moonOS offers Firefox so i'm happy.
Graphic Editing – This was obvious for me. GIMP is included by default on moonOS and has served as my Photoshop replacement now that I run Linux.
Listening To Music – I had not used Exhaile before testing it but after a 30 minute overview I found no problems using it. The tabbed interface in the top left corner of Exhaile along with features like Album Art Collector and plugin options have made me consider using it on my primary machine with or without moonOS.
Text Editing – The OpenOffice suite has you covered for larger projects while you can open gedit under Applications — Accessories — Text Editor for a lightweight option. These are more than enough for stuff I do.
Adding Software – After looking into adding packages to moonOS i discovered it uses a tool unique to the distro called moonSoftware. After selecting it in the menu I saw a message stating that I needed to download the data package before I could use moonSoftware. I agreed and watched moonOS download and install the single package. After it was finished I saw another message confirming its' success. Then up came the moonSoftware window. This useful interface features the same functionality as other graphical package managers and also displays a screenshot of the application selected which I found to be a nice touch.
moonControl – I also checked out moonControl which serves as the moonOS main control panel. This interface includes a box in the top right that holds groups Look and Feel, Internet and Network, Hardware, System, and Other. When a group is selected, options for the group show up on the left side of the window. moonControl worked just fine for me and helped me find a lot of things without hunting around the desktop and menu for them.
These are just a few things moonOS can help you do. Much more is available right out of the box. Download it here.

moonOS may not take over as my primary operating system but it does have many features out of the box that I wish my Ubuntu setup had. What do you think of moonOS?

The only thing about it that interests me is that it apparently utilizes the LXDE desktop environment. I'll try to give it a spin this evening.
September 10, 2009 at 9:32 pm
It's E17 not LXDE
September 10, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Oh. I was at work when I wrote that prior comment and has only glanced at the following link: http://moonos.linuxfreedom.com/ which led me to believe that it used LXDE. Looks like the "Main Edition" uses Enlightenment DR17 and then there's also an LXDE edition.
September 11, 2009 at 1:12 am
Good tips , Thanks alot
September 11, 2009 at 6:04 am
WOW, it seems very cool!
As long as it is Ubuntu-based distro then for sure it is perfect.
Nice review!
September 11, 2009 at 10:25 am
Now that I've had a few hours to play around with the moonOS live CD, I'm impressed. I may try out the E17 desktop on my laptop. First I'll make sure the moonOS live CD works there too.
Has anyone had any experience switching to E17 via the Ubuntu repos? I see it there, but would like to hear how it went for someone else.
September 11, 2009 at 11:42 am
Looks great i'm gonna try it out!!!
Thanks for the post!!
September 11, 2009 at 11:51 am
MoonOS is similiar to OpenGEU and Maryan. Actually its virtually identical, except for a MUCH prettier appearance.
September 11, 2009 at 11:56 am
September 11, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Beginlinux, i like ur review, but i noticed u didnt give a link to the distro page/web site
September 11, 2009 at 4:11 pm
I haven't checked yet but I wonder if they have a 64 bit addition? I really like to try it.
September 11, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Thanks for the nice peek at moonOS. I use Xubuntu but I am always interested in what other distros are like, particularly when they are based on different environments like Enlightenment.
September 11, 2009 at 5:57 pm
The moonOS live CD won't boot on my Dell Inspiron laptop. Worked fine on the desktop. So much for that.
September 11, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Just a note of my personal experience with it so far to balance the glowing review. Noticed that Synaptic does not launch with "sudo" rights, you have to do a "sudo synaptic" from terminal instead.
Compared to Elive I like the more up-to-date software, the (Mint)Moon control and such, but there is something rather clunky about the interface, just can't put my finger on it. The desktop effects tend to confuse things a bit, too.
Still this is another really nice distro, as the author describes.
September 11, 2009 at 10:22 pm
It's Exaile, not Exhaile.
September 12, 2009 at 2:37 pm
Both MoonOs 2 & MoonOs 3 work fine on my two Dell Inspiron laptops, the 8100 and the E1705. Perhaps, there is something in Adam Gonnerman's BIOS configuration that is interfering with the live CD.
September 12, 2009 at 2:50 pm
MoonOS is the first real linux os i want to try, bc I only have Red Flag on my new notebook. Does anybody know why it doesn't boot from CD?
September 12, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Thanks for the info. If I were really interested in getting moonOS installed I'd take your advice. Seems likely that's the issue. The live CD appears to boot into safe mode with what looks like the standard Ubuntu desktop. Except that it's frozen, of course.
September 14, 2009 at 4:04 am
Thanks for the great review
September 15, 2009 at 4:00 am
I had the same problem with the language pack during the install. I installed MoonOS on an old Inspiron 1100. The 1100 has a problem with Ubuntu installs graphics do not like to load using live cds so I had to power off 7 times before it I could see. Then the resolution was stuck at 800×600 repaired and did a couple of restarts now it works fine. I am giving this computer to a 13, 12, and 11 year old that have just started using Linux but only have windows at home. Will be interesting to get feed back from them.
September 16, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Wow, I also thought their default was LXDE, but it isn't. That looks a little gimmicky for me, but hey the more choice the better it is for everyone!
September 16, 2009 at 6:29 pm
How exactly do you install this on the hard drive? Live CD boots up fine but I cant find the installer in the desktop.
September 28, 2009 at 11:45 pm
You won't be able to see the desktop installer unless you navigate to the desktop folder with the file manager. Definitely an oversight on the part of the people who made the livecd.

You forgot to mention the one click download of an amazing collection of full enlightenment desktop themes if one gets tired of the leafy green and yellow. Full themes including wallpaper, menu & window appearance and even the desktop clock gets re-themed. Unlike gnome, where you have to get a gtk theme and an emerald theme and wallpaper- and install them all separately.
December 16, 2009 at 4:34 pm
I'm annoying people over on the moonOS forums with this issue but maybe someone here can help–
When I install this distro, restart the computer, it doesn't work. The moonOS forum replies seem to want me to believe my LiveUSB (via USB Creator) /is/ the install.
What gives?
The thing is, I REALLY like this distro for my 702 (mods: 32GB SSD, 2GB RAM) … and would have installed it to the main drive, but am stuck with the 'USB Disc live install'-is-the-install issue. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Ultimate Edition on both of my ASUS Eee computers (the other is an Eee Box 202 w/ 2GB RAM) which I've installed LXDE onto. Enlightenment — E17 — doesn't seem possible to add; a pity.
PS: Please help?

* Good distro; I have used multiple Ubuntu derivatives such as Linux Mint, Super OS, CrunnchBang, and others. I didn't even know about MoonOS…..but I already installed it on one of my home network PCs and I like it
* Lightweight snappy window manager / desktop / GUI….fast boot times, menus respond extremely fast, apps launch really quick. I have good powerful PCs….but this OS would be just as home on older / less powerful units
* Good multimedia support out of the box. Although it's easy to fully enable in Ubuntu by installing a few packages, it's already been done here. Java Jre / Flash already installed….the GStreamer0.10 codecs already installed (for WMV, quicktime, MPG, MPEG, AVI, MP3 support). Additional repositories also enabled, so it's easy to install a few additional nice-to-have packages such as Real Player and Adobe Reader
* Ubuntu-based, can't go wrong there…….Synaptic Package Manager allows you to install the same software you'd able to install using Ubuntu
Not bad, not bad…..even if latest version is still based on Ubuntu 9.04, as opposed to the latest version 9.10…..I say, go ahead…download and play with it!!!
March 23, 2010 at 5:20 am
Ubuntu 9.04 it's OLD! XD
Need actualization to Ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04 😛
June 6, 2010 at 5:38 am
God I love Enlightenment. I've been stuck behind the Ubuntu Gnome Desk for too long. Got to pop this in tomorrow and install it in a Vbox. Even if I don't switch I could recommend to new users. Metacity just doesn't compare to Enlightenment.

This article consists of a number of different articles revolving around HTML 5 & CSS 3 rules, learn css, w3c css code, css font-family. Provide Great Benefits in Future Web Design. If you are new to this topic or would like a brief intro of the subject it is advised to go through the introduction that accompanies this collection of items.
HTML 5 and CSS 3 have introduced many new features that will enhance our online experience; they will also improve the productivity and efficiency of web developers and designers.This piece will first focus on some Visual Effects, new table styles and the introduction of custom fonts.
Drop Shadows
This design style is very common within 21st Century web design. But they can be accomplish with simple image putting around the main center image. The general method designers will acquire this effect is either by using a predefined image with the shadow effect added in a program such as Photoshop. So, they were never be dynamic like the css3 is having the possibility. Programmers will tend to use the technique of using a wrapper that is slightly offset from the subject object. This requires massive coding and design time. But now a days with present CSS 3 has built in shadow support which can be applied to any online element with a small and simple bit of coding.
Let's see some of the Drop shadow examples
Rounded Corners
Another common design style; the rounded corner effect can often be a source of hassle for programmers trying to achieve the effect. As it stands it can only be achieved by placing 1px lines on top of each other gradually reducing in length to create the impression of a round corner. This requires lots of pointless code. CSS 3 designs css3 styles will allow the feature of applying round corners to border any element with no extra code needed.
Let's see some of the Rounded Corners examples
Table Format & Style
Tables with attributes/titles such as an alternate shading effects or an additional appearance to the header and footer regions are made significantly simpler with CSS 3. Currently to build a striped table each different colour or zibra color would have to have a different class code, this results in a complicated build.
An 'nth child' selector (CSS 3) allows you to specify a role to effect odd or even table rows or even every 3rd, 4th row etc. Even if a row is removed the browser will automatically update without anymore code input. A similar feature will also give the programmer much more options when applying certain rules to say the header and footer. Elements can easily be added and removed without any worry over the overall style changing.
Let's see some of the Table Format & styles examples
Custom Fonts
The web of old has always been restricted by a limited set of fonts. This fact is slowly changing with the introduction of tools such as Google Fonts. In the past if a designer wanted a specific font he would have to create it as an image they can not use them directly as a native font rendering on webpage. This technique is bad practice for SEO as the text will not get crawled by the search engines and can not be utilized for getting higher rank for the website. HTML 5 sees the introduction of a much wider selection of fonts available and importantly, all these fonts will be able to be crawled by search engines.
But now the time has changed for embeding the fonts. We can use @font-face css3 Technique/Rule to embed fonts into the webpage that can be natively rendered by web browsers itself. With this rule browsers get the fonts available from the web server directory. They are not rely on client browsers font installed on the computer.
My Tutorial about @font-face Custom Fonts
I have written a simple practical steps tutorial for embeding @font-face with css3 styles. You can have a closer look at this. Hope this would help to all website designers/developers.
Any Quesitons?
Let me ping on comments section if you have any queries related to above article.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) Thanks, Notre Dame.
At least we don't have to endure another All-SEC matchup for the BCS championship.
But the conference everyone outside the South loves to hate staked out its usual place in the championship hierarchy on Super Saturday, a coast-to-coast buffet of college football's greatest rivalries.
Either Alabama or Georgia will be playing for No. 1.
Sound familiar?
The Southeastern Conference has already won an unprecedented six straight national championships, and here's betting the Crimson Tide or the Bulldogs will make it seven in a row on Jan. 7 in Miami.
Nothing against top-ranked Notre Dame, the best story in college football all season. The Fighting Irish (12-0) wrapped up their first perfect regular season since 1988 with a 22-13 victory over Southern California, leaving no doubt they have stifling defense and tremendous heart. Plus, they deserve bonus points for handing Trojans coach Lane Kiffin another loss, the perfect capper to his season-long plunge from No. 1 to irrelevance, with a few deflated footballs along the way.
All hail the Irish.
They deserve it.
For now.
``We're not done yet,'' Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson said. ``We've got to keep going.''
Not so fast. It will be a month and a half before the champion is crowned, a ridiculously long wait in a sport where players are used to taking the field in tidy, one-week intervals. Offenses, which rely so heavily on timing and communication, tend to suffer more from these long delays, so points will be hard to come by in South Florida.
That levels the playing just a bit, since all three of the title contenders have top-shelf defenses.
Still, Alabama and Georgia both have more weapons offensively, which is why either team should have an edge on the Irish, no matter which one emerges as the winner in next Saturday's SEC championship game.
The only thing that didn't go the SEC's way on rivalry day was Notre Dame beating USC. Without the Irish gutting out another win, we very well could've had a repeat of an SEC game doubling as the title game, with Florida hoping to follow the Alabama Plan, Version 2.011.
A year ago, the Tide team didn't even win its division but got a do-over against LSU for the national title. Alabama romped in the rematch, 21-0.
From the rest of the nation, a giant yawn.
This time, the Tide cruised into the SEC championship game on a high after thumping Auburn 49-0 in the Mismatch Bowl (sorry, the Iron Bowl moniker just doesn't fit at the moment), surely bringing the Gene Chizik era to an inglorious end a mere two years after he guided the Tigers to a national championship.
Georgia will be waiting in Atlanta as the East Division winner for the second year in a row, finishing off its regular season with a 42-10 blowout of Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs are our Comeback Team of the Year, somehow finding a way to get back in the mix after taking a four-touchdown whipping at South Carolina.
``Keep up the good work,'' Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal told the Bulldogs after presenting a trophy for their big win over the Yellow Jackets. ``We're looking for a national championship.''
So was Florida, which was fourth in the BCS standings a week ago. The Gators did nothing to hurt their position, stunning Florida State with a 24-point outburst in the fourth quarter on the way to a 37-26 victory. As soon as that one ended, coach Will Muschamp and his players headed off to root for the Trojans, hoping they could take down the Irish.
It wasn't to be. Notre Dame clinched the win with a brilliant goal-line stand, stuffing the Trojans after they had first-and-goal at the 1.
Oregon was the only other team with a shot, and the Ducks took care of business with an impressive 48-24 win over Oregon State in that state's version of the Civil War. But they're all done, too. Heck, the Ducks didn't even make the Pac-12 title game; Stanford locked up the spot with a victory over UCLA.
Hard to believe, but the SEC seemed down and out just a few weeks ago. Alabama was knocked off by conference newcomer Texas A&M in Tuscaloosa, leaving three non-SEC teams - Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame - in the lead positions.
Three-fourths of the nation rejoiced.
Its long, Dixie-induced nightmare seemed over.
Of course, everything flipped again seven days later.
Oregon lost. Kansas State lost. Just like that, Alabama and Georgia were right back in the prime positions.
The Tide and the Bulldogs closed the deal Saturday against overmatched opponents, proving once again the SEC has, if nothing else, an impeccable sense of timing. Outside of Notre Dame, every team in the mix had one loss. But Oregon and Kansas State lost last, so they get shortchanged.
Ohio State might have messed things up, finishing off a 12-0 debut season for coach Urban Meyer with a victory over Michigan. But the Buckeyes are on NCAA probation because of Tattoo-gate, the championship dreams pushed off into the future by some shady ink. They look like the sort of program that can challenge the SEC's dominance, but not this year.
Maybe the new four-team playoff will stir things up a bit. Surely, it can't hurt, because the SEC clearly has this system all figured out.
``I knew the way the SEC works,'' Georgia defensive back Sanders Commings said, savoring his team's position in the locker room beneath Sanford Stadium. ``I knew we could beat everybody else on our schedule. I was like, `Man, we've just got to win out.'''
There will be those who say the SEC is living on its reputation, that the league isn't nearly as strong from top-to-bottom this season as it's been in other years. That's a pretty compelling argument, too. Neither Auburn nor Kentucky won an SEC game. Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas are looking for new coaches, and Auburn will surely be joining the list of schools with a vacancy.
But, for those at the top, there's another chance to play for a national title.
For the rest of the nation, that playoff system can't get here fast enough.

WORCESTER — Who did let those dogs out?
Hundreds of canines of all sorts, sizes and colors are visiting the DCU Center this weekend for the annual Worcester County Kennel Club dog shows.
And these aren't your usual mutts from the pound.
There are affenpinchers; Afghan hounds; Airedale terriers; Akita sweeps; Akita veteran sweeps; Akitas, the more generic kind of species, we guess; American Eskimo hounds, American foxhounds, American Staffordshire terriers and Australian shepherds.
And that's just the list of breeds that begin with the letter A.
You get the picture.
Lots and lots dogs.
Yesterday, a number of the four-legged creatures pranced and preened before watchful judges, their owners hoping to get a chance at winning a prized ribbon.
Jill Hopfenbeck, the show's chairman, said about 850 dogs were exhibited yesterday and another 800 will take part in the event sunday.
A number of dogs were also on hand on Friday for competitions for specialty dogs.
Ms. Hopfenbeck said the shows drew dog lovers from all around the Northeast and Canada.
She explained that each breed was judged on its particular points.
"Each has its own particular traits," Ms. Hopfenbeck said, as a group of trainers and handlers were set to put their light chocolate-colored Rhodesian Ridgebacks, known for the crest of spine that protrudes from their backs, through their formal motions.
Across the first floor exhibit hall, a handful of German shepherds were going through their paces.
Officials said there are contests for each breed. The winners then compete in groups that include hounds, terriers, toy and herding dogs.
A best of show is also chosen.
There are no specific qualifications for entrants, but each participant must be registered with the American Kennel Club.
The exhibiting of their dogs is a labor of love, said many owners.
They said they spend thousands of dollars to breed certain types and thousands more to maintain them.
"You really have to love doing this," said Lise Cere of Quebec, who brought three dogs to the show.
Her almost 6-month-old pup, Dulca, had won best of breed for the German Short-Haired Pointers.
With the win, Dulca was eligible to compete in the group of breeds that included Labradors.
While the judging was going on, many other dogs were being groomed. Nails were checked, hides were brushed, and the tiniest smudge of dirt was cleaned away.
But as the dogs were treated as kings and queens, signs on the doors of the front entrances to the convention center ironically said the canines could only access the facility through the rear side of the building.
And one young lad enjoying a snack at the concession stand amusingly thought aloud that it wasn't proper to serve hot dogs at the event.
The club was founded in the late 1800s, and like similar canine associations, was established to promote and protect purebreeds from around the world.

Children are more susceptible to pollutants than adults because they are still growing and breathe in proportionately more air. This means indoor pollutants, such as certain chemicals, particles and allergens, can cause more severe health effects in children.
Children breathe in a greater volume of air than adults relative to their body size.
Children's organs and respiratory, immune and neurological systems are still developing.
Children are much closer to the ground, and as a result, breathe in more of the heavier airborne chemicals than do adults.
Infants and young children breathe through their mouths, more so than do adults, which increases their risk of pulmonary exposure to particulates and fibers, that would otherwise be filtered out in the nose.
Children have a higher heart rate than adults, which allows substances that are absorbed into the blood to permeate tissues faster.
UL Environment offers a suggestion: keep pollutants out in the first place. By using products bearing the GREENGUARD Children & SchoolsSM or GREENGUARD Gold Certification mark, parents, teachers and school officials can rest easy knowing these products have been independently tested and verified to meet strict emission levels of pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde and phthalates. GREENGUARD Certified products include baby cribs, mattresses, countertops, paints and adhesives, insulation and wood flooring.

Re: India v Australia test series
Australia is falling apart at the seams, because we are losing and Mickey Arthur asks the players to do a little homework, but they can't be stuffed or don't want to or feel like they are being treated like schools kids so they jump on the plane and come home. I am hugely disappointed in Shane Watson's behaviour. Cricketers are starting to become real Nancy-boys in Australia.
Get your kids in 2 cricket!
Re: India v Australia test series
I impressed greatly that the way you have written such a great post about the Australia vs India Test match. India played 4 matches series and Australia lost matches and India won a innings, interesting fight between cricket bat and cricket ball in India vs Australia 2013.

Watching: DEPRESSION: Out of the Shadows
Chapter 11: Recovery [11:37]
Philip and Terrie help themselves by helping others. Ellie prepares for a healthy second pregnancy.
Transcript: Chapter 11 - Recovery
(JOHN SAGE: you gonna go to any LSU games this year...)
NARRATION: (PHILIP BURGUIERES AT LUNCH WITH JOHN SAGE) Philip Burguieres pursued a variety of treatment avenues: talk therapy, medication which he says only made his symptoms worse, and a three month stay in a hospital. In the end, he believes the most significant contribution to his recovery was the companionship he shared with john sage, a former all American football player who was emerging from his own battle with depression.
PHILIP BURGUIERES: (VO, AT LUNCH WITH JOHN SAGE) John Sage, probably more than any other person, saved my life.
PHILIP BURGUIERES: (OC) Because I had someone that I could talk to every single day and was there for me, who had gone through what I went through, uh, and understood it.
JOHN SAGE: (VO, AT LUNCH WITH PHILIP BURGUIERES) I think it's a question of opening up is the first step to, ahh,
JOHN SAGE: (OC) healing, ahh. The first baby step is telling one person. Then maybe telling a group of people or opening up where it's not such a dark, insidious hidden thing.
PHILIP BURGUIERES: (OC) You focus internally, and that's part of the disease. You focus on yourself and it's simple but complicated. Focusing outward on other people is the most important thing you can do if you're depressed.
NARRATION: (HOUSTON TEXANS TRAINING CAMP PRACTICE) Today, Philip is vice chairman of the NFL's Houston Texans. He now devotes a third of his time to helping others deal with mental health issues.
NARRATION: (PHILIP BURGUIERES AT HOUSTON TEXANS TRAINING CAMP PRACTICE) Philip, like many others, recognizes that limited mental health benefits represent a significant obstacle for people wanting help.
PHILIP BURGUIERES: (VO, PHILIP BURGUIERES AT HOUSTON TEXANS TRAINING CAMP PRACTICE) People with mental health problems are discriminated against by the Federal government, by state government, by local government. I, uh-- Even the Medicare system, you know, is very limited, the amount of mental, uh, healthcare you can get.
PHILIP BURGUIERES: (OC) every other disease you look at -- diabetes, cancer, heart disease -- you know, you basically get, uh, you know, at least 80% of your-- your bills paid for. You don't with mental health problems.
NARRATION: (HOUSTON TEXANS TRAINING CAMP PRACTICE) Advocating for change, Philip has begun his own campaign within the workplace to improve mental health coverage.
PHILIP BURGUIERES: (VO, HOUSTON TEXANS TRAINING CAMP PRACTICE) The Houston Texans are the only national football league team that have mental health parity.
PHILIP BURGUIERES: (OC) If you're gonna take care of the whole person, uh, you have to take care of their brain also.
PHILIP BURGUIERES: (VO, HOUSTON TEXANS TRAINING CAMP PRACTICE) When we first started talking, and-- And it wouldn't matter whether it was Cigna, Blue Cross, or anybody, about wanting to add mental health benefits to our medical plan,
PHILIP BURGUIERES: (OC) the number's usually around 20%. You know, we're gonna charge you 20% more. Now the truth is, they don't have any statistical base to know that, because very few companies have mental health parity.
PHILIP BURGUIERES: (VO, HOUSTON TEXANS TRAINING CAMP PRACTICE) Finally we negotiated a deal after six months where Cigna said, "Well charge you 2% more. And then at the end of the year, we'll adjust." And guess what? The end of the year adjustment was zero.
PHILIP BURGUIERES: (OC) People used the mental health benefits. But in the overall scheme of things, it didn't affect our rate base at all.
NARRATION: (IN HOUSTON TEXANS WORKOUT ROOM) It pays to treat depression.
Every year, America loses an estimated 50 billion dollars in productivity as a consequence of untreated depression.
Ignoring the treatment of depression also raises the risk of many life threatening illnesses.
DR. THOMAS INSEL: (VO, IN HOUSTON TEXANS WORKOUT ROOM) What we're learning now is that people with depression are also at higher rates for diabetes, for cardiovascular death. We now know that there are changes in bone density,
DR. THOMAS INSEL: (OC) that osteoporosis is higher in people who have depression. So this is-- Yes, it's a brain disorder, but in some sense, it's a multi-system, whole body disorder, not surprising that people often present with more
DR. THOMAS INSEL: (VO, IN HOUSTON TEXANS WORKOUT ROOM) somatic symptoms than with just the psychological manifestations.
NARRATION: (ELLIE ZUEHLKE WALKING WITH FAMILY) It would take Ellie nearly four months to start to feel better from her postpartum depression.
JEFFREY ZUEHLKE: She was just in such deep despair that, you know, I literally told her at least 20 times a day that you're gonna-- "You're gonna get through this. You're gonna"-- You know? And you asked about ten times a day, I think.
ELLIE: At least.
JEFFERY: "Am I gonna get through this?" "Yes, yes." And you did, so.
ELLIE: Yeah
NARRATION: (PHOTOS OF ELLIE ZUEHLKE WITH GRAHAM) During her ordeal, Ellie noticed that her maternal bond with Graham was suffering.
ELLIE ZUEHLKE: (VO, PHOTOS OF ELLIE ZUEHLKE WITH GRAHAM) I was physically unable to have an expressive face with him and to be able to really smile at him. And when he did start to smile, he never smiled at me.
ELLIE ZUEHLKE: (OC) And that was absolutely devastating.
(ELLIE: all right Graham what shall we get...hello..)
NARRATION: (FAMILY IN FRONT OF GOOD HUMOR ICE CREAM TRUCK) At the time, Ellie was taking several medications that forced her to give up her plans to breast feed Graham for a year.
ELLIE ZUEHLKE: (VO, FAMILY IN FRONT OF GOOD HUMOR ICE CREAM TRUCK) I was taking a lot of different medications and
ELLIE ZUEHLKE: (OC) I felt really guilt about that because I needed to stop breastfeeding.
NARRATION: (SET-UP ELLIE LOOKING AT ED TRONICK WEB SITE VIDEOS) A website on healthy childhood development gave her a broader perspective.
ED TRONICK VIDEO SITE: (ED TRONICK WEB SITE VIDEOS) "Mom puts on the still face, and Michael tries everything he can to reestablish connection."
ELLIE ZUEHLKE: (VO, ED TRONICK WEB SITE VIDEOS) It just breaks my heart to see those video clips, though,
ELLIE ZUEHLKE: (OC) because, first of all, it hits way too close to home. And secondly, you can just feel the pain that those children are experiencing.
NARRATION: (ELLIE ZUEHLKE LOOKING AT WEB SITE, ELLIE WITH GRAHAM) The web site helped Ellie to realize that treating her depression would not only help her, but minimize Graham's risk of becoming depressed.
MYRNA WEISSMAN: (VO, ELLIE ZUEHLKE WITH GRAHAM) Well, we know depression runs in families. And we know that the children of depressed parents
MYRNA WEISSMAN: (OC) have high rates of depression. And one new finding is that if
MYRNA WEISSMAN: (VO, FAMILY WALKING ON SIDEWALK) you treated the mother to remission, the children who had symptoms got better.
DR. HELEN KIM: (and I think there are a lot of reasons why you got blind-sided...)
NARRATION: (ELLIE AND JEFFREY ZUEHLKE MEET WITH DR. KIM) Today, Ellie and Jeffrey are meeting with Dr. Kim because they hope to have another child.
ELLIE ZUEHLKE: (VO, ELLIE AND JEFFREY ZUEHLKE MEET WITH DR. KIM) Honestly, I'd be really sad if Graham didn't have a little sibling to play with. And so frankly,
ELLIE ZUEHLKE: (OC) it's out-- partially out of love for Graham that we want to have another child.
NARRATION: (ELLIE AND JEFFREY ZUEHLKE MEET WITH DR. KIM) This time, as a protective measure, Ellie will stay on a low dose of an antidepressant.
Prior to the birth of Graham, she had experienced a few episodes of depression. This history puts her at higher risk for another post-partum depression.
DR. HELEN KIM: (VO, TALKING WITH ELLIE AND JEFFREY ZUEHLKE) In your particular case, you have had more than one episode of major depression, you've had a couple, and so your risk of another episode, off an anti-depressant, is you know more than 89 or 90 percent, so it's quite high
ELLIE ZUEHLKE: (VO, ELLIE AND JEFFREY ZUEHLKE MEET WITH DR. KIM) I just want to do whatever I can to not have a repeat of last time. I can't imagine going through that again.
NARRATION: (ELLIE AND JEFFREY ZUEHLKE MEET WITH DR. KIM) With medication and support in place, Ellie's chance of experiencing another post partum depression is dramatically reduced. But it is Ellie's trust in Dr. Kim's care that gives her the most confidence to go forward with another pregnancy.
DR. CHARLES NEMEROFF: (VO, ELLIE AND JEFFREY ZUEHLKE MEET WITH DR. KIM) I think one of the ways that we can keep depression, um, in remission has to do with the relationship between the therapist, um, and the patient. And
DR. CHARLES NEMEROFF: (OC) if you're seeing somebody and you don't think it's a good match, um, you're the consumer. You ought to go out and find somebody different to treat you.
ELLIE ZUEHLKE: (OC) If you're feeling like you're depressed or things aren't right, get help. And if it-- the help doesn't help you, then get different help, and don't give up. And I think the most important thing is that you will recover. You will be okay. This is an incredibly treatable condition.
ELLIE ZUEHLKE: (VO, ELLIE ZUEHLKE WITH GRAHAM) Um, just don't-Whatever you do, don't give up.
NARRATION: (CHOIR SIGNING AT CONFERENCE) Not long after Jiwe was released from prison, he wrote a letter to Terrie Williams who decided to mentor him through the stay strong foundation, an organization she co-founded to help at-risk youth.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, CHOIR SIGNING AT CONFERENCE) What Terrie did with me is one of the most noble things I've ever witnessed in my life. Terrie met me when I got right out of prison. She read my story. She felt it.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (OC) And she invited me to her house. I never experienced nothin' (sic) like that in my life.
TERRIE WILLIAMS: (OC) I decided to mentor this extraordinary young man, Jiwe, because I felt that he was a promise for the future.
TERRIE WILLIAMS: (VO, SPEAKING AT CONFERENCE) I've never believed that people are born evil. And when I hear stories about so and so being a monster who's committed a horrific crime, I always say "if we knew their story we would understand." He has a tender spirit but he hasn't always found a way to expose that to very many people. I love Jiwe. Please welcome Jiwe.
NARRATION: ("JIWE" MORRIS AT CONFERENCE) Jiwe has written a book about his life and hopes to inspire others through his writing.
TERRIE WILLIAMS: (VO, "JIWE" MORRIS AT CONFERENCE) He's a window into the pain that so many are in. Because our kids are out there parenting themselves because their parents are in pain. They didn't get certain things,
TERRIE WILLIAMS: (OC) so we have generation after generation after generation
TERRIE WILLIAMS: (VO, TERRIE WILLIAMS WALKING WITH "JIWE" MORRIS) who are wounded and have never gotten any help.
NARRATION: (TERRIE WILLIAMS WALKING WITH "JIWE" MORRIS) the first thing Terrie did was to get Jiwe the professional help he needed.
DR. GRAND: Nightmares?
JIWE: Every night.
NARRATION: ("JIWE" MORRIS IN THERAPY SESSION WITH DR. GRAND) In addition to depression, Jiwe suffers post traumatic stress disorder.
DR. GRAND: Think of the exact moment you heard that your homey was murdered.
JIWE: A big part of me wants to do what's the norm, or do what I'm supposed to be doing. Getting revenge. The other part of me's telling me the cycle, cycle has to stop.
DR. DAVID GRAND: (VO, "JIWE" MORRIS IN THERAPY SESSION WITH DR. GRAND) People who have trauma and, you know, post-traumatic stress disorder, left untreated long enough, start to fall into depression. The fact is that trauma
DR. DAVID GRAND: (OC) is very healable now. We have techniques that-- that really can affect directly where the trauma is held in the brain, can identify it, can help to process and release it.
NARRATION: ("JIWE" MORRIS IN THERAPY SESSION WITH DR. GRAND) Jiwe refuses medication for his depression, but a preliminary study suggests that talk therapy is the most effective treatment for depressed patients with a history of early trauma.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (VO, "JIWE" MORRIS IN THERAPY SESSION WITH DR. GRAND) just the few things that I'm-- I get, you know? A psychotherapist, you know, a-- like, just somethin' as small as that would mean a lot to an individual on the street.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (OC) And we have no proper way to extract none (sic) of those feelings. And the only way we learn to do that, that's where our therapy becomes the bottle. Our therapy become pills. Our therapy become crime, violence, drugs. That be (sic) our therapy, because it's what relieve (sic) what we goin' through
TERRIE WILLIAMS: (OC) We pay for not caring about those who are not properly nourished. They are your worst nightmare. They will show up in your neighborhoods. They will show up anywhere and everywhere if we don't do our part.
DASHAUN "JIWE" MORRIS: (OC, AT TABLE WITH TERRIE WILLIAMS) Like before meeting Terrie, I still was lost and confused. Still roaming around in the dark and she just shed light on my darkness. Just had a connection, it was like a second mother, you know what I'm saying? I think it's...it kills me because I know we all need that.
TERRIE WILLIAMS: (OC, AT TABLE WITH "JIWE" MORRIS) I'm going to embarrass you. I love you. He's a young man who's going to change the world. He's taking his pain and his challenges and sharing it.

Foundational data sets on the farm are needed before you transition to using big data.
As agriculture steps into the realm of big data, a reoccurring theme that various technology advisers raise is the need for farmers to establish high quality "small data" first and foremost.
Too often, foundational data sets on the farm are lacking or don't exist, explains Terry Griffin, an independent data consultant based in Bryant, Ark.
Griffin notes that producers who learn how to gather and use small data to improve their farming operation are then able to transition to using big data with better results.
Pat Reeg, director of the On-Farm Network for the Iowa Soybean Association, advises farmers to start the process by identifying two or three goals small data can help them achieve.
"Use the data generated from your precision agriculture equipment to look for ways to enhance your operational efficiency," he suggests. "Another goal would be to use data to review input expenditures to identify areas where you can maximize return on investment by validating products and practices."
Producers participating in the On-Farm Network use replicated strip trials for just those purposes. Results from these trials are available at http://www.isafarmnet.com/onlinedb/index.php.
Bear in mind that the goals and decisions you make are only as good as the data they're based upon, adds Griffin.
Reeg agrees and says calibrated yield monitors are a must. He offers these three considerations:
• Make sure you have the most current firmware installed in your yield monitor.
• Follow the pre-season checklist provided by your yield monitor manufacturer. This can be found in the manual or at the manufacturer's website. Check the hardware, including the electrical harnesses, flow sensor, impact plate, load cell, moisture sensor, elevator speed sensor, and ground speed sensor for problems.
• Calibrate (distance, temperature, vibration, moisture, grain weight, stop height) using the procedure recommended for your yield monitor.
Last but not least, make sure you backup and save raw data in multiple places and off site. Also, backup your raw data periodically during the season.

Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray Saturday urged the BJP to let Narendra Modi continue unhindered as Gujarat chief minister till 2017.
"Narendra Modi has publicly declared that he has no prime ministerial ambition. He has been given public mandate to rule Gujarat till 2017 and would continue to serve the people of that state," Thackeray said in an editorial in the party mouthpiece "Saamna".
At a function in Gujarat Sep 5, Modi told a young school student that those who dreamt of becoming prime minister were often destroyed.
"Instead of harbouring such dreams, I think it is more important to achieve something for the country," said Modi, who has been made the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) campaign chief for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
Thackeray lauded Modi for his stance.
He, however, said that though the Gujarat strongman had probably succeeded in satisfying the curiosity of the school student on the issue, "but how will he explain this to the BJP big bosses who are bent upon declaring him as the next PM candidate?"
He said many in the BJP feel that under Modi's stewardship, the party could achieve the target of winning 272 Lok Sabha seats in the next parliamentary elections.
Now, he said, Modi has decided not to step out of Gujarat till 2017 and brought his own "prime ministerial horse" to a sudden halt.
There are several ground realities and political permutations and combinations even within the BJP which have prevented the party from declaring his candidature for the top executive post so far, Thackeray said.
"There are many who have dreamt of occupying the top post but failed to achieve it. Even Sharad Pawar had announced his candidature on several occasions in the past but suddenly backtracked. Now, Modi has done the same," Thackeray said.
On the other hand, the Shiv Sena president said, those who never dreamt of occupying the top post were catapulted there -- like Rajiv Gandhi, Chandrashekhar, H.D. Deve Gowda, I.K. Gujral and Manmohan Singh.
"Modi has learnt these lessons of history. Now, who will teach the same lessons to BJP leaders like Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, Smriti Irani, Balbir Punj and others," Thackeray wondered.

Ford and UAW to launch pilot health care program for workers, retirees
Ford Motor Co. and the United Auto Workers union are starting a pilot health care program for workers and retirees with chronic medical conditions, in a move they said could reduce costs.
The program will begin in Southeast Michigan with as many as 1,500 voluntary participants, representatives for Ford, the UAW and the union's retiree health care trust told reporters Monday at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. The pilot, which will target chronic conditions such as diabetes and asthma, will be funded by Ford and the union trust.
If the pilot is successful, Ford, the UAW and the retiree trust could decide to introduce a similar program in other areas of the country where the automaker has many active employees and retirees, Mulloy said. Such areas would include Louisville, Kentucky, or Kansas City, where Ford has vehicle- assembly plants that opened in the 1950s.
The pilot put together by Ford and the Detroit-based UAW and union trust originates from the four-year contract struck between the automaker and union in 2011, and emulates a similar program used by Boeing Co. Workers and retirees will be invited to the program by their doctor and will be assigned a personal care nurse at no additional cost to the patient.
"The goal of this from day one was, 'How do we keep our employees healthier?'" Marty Mulloy, Ford's vice president of labor affairs, told reporters. "As an outcome of that, if you have less significant medical events occurring, you're going to be using less services, and that results in less costs."
Health care is the largest benefit cost paid by Ford, General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC, according to the Center for Automotive Research. Ford estimates that the cost of providing health care to its U.S. hourly workers equates to about $7 an hour, Mulloy told reporters.
The research center, based in Ann Arbor, Mich., estimates that the U.S. automakers will pay $5.20 an hour toward health care per entry level worker by 2015, from $3.82 an hour in 2011, according to a November 2011 presentation. That's expected to drive up the cost of wages and benefits for entry level workers to $39.95 in 2015, from $33.70 in 2011, the center said.
Costs related to treating five of the most common chronic care conditions for its workers are responsible for 61 percent of Ford's health care spending, according to the company. Those conditions, which are comprised of congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary artery disease, diabetes and asthma, account for a similar share of costs for health care provided by the retiree trust.
Boeing's program achieved a 20 percent annual savings per enrolled worker compared with a control group, mainly by reducing emergency room visits and hospital admissions, according to a 2011 company presentation. Ford Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally joined the company from Boeing in 2006.
The UAW is open to starting a similar program with GM and Chrysler, said Susanne Mitchell, director of the union's Social Security department.
"There is interest and support" from GM and Chrysler, she told reporters. "It has not moved as far along as the Ford plan, obviously, because this one's kicking off, but the door is certainly not closed at either of the other automakers."
Ford and the UAW have about 18,000 active hourly employees in Michigan and the union trust has about 118,000 non-Medicare retired members, according to a company statement. The union trusts for Ford, GM and Chrysler are the largest non-government provider of retiree health care benefits in the U.S., with about $4.5 billion spent annually.
"We believe the added support in this voluntary program will be of great benefit to our highest-need members," Jimmy Settles, vice president of the UAW's Ford department, said in a statement.
The cost of the pilot program, which wasn't specified, will include paying for 12 personal care nurses who will each be limited to as many as 125 cases. The care provided by those nurses will be covered as part of benefits already provided.
The Ford-UAW pilot precedes the start of major provisions of the Affordable Care Act taking effect next year. The 2010 law also includes a 40 percent tax on employee benefits exceeding $10,200 for individuals and $27,500 for families starting in 2018, on the theory that overly generous plans boost medical costs. Some companies have responded by adding wellness programs and raising deductibles on workers.
Ford said after its four-year deal with the UAW was ratified in 2011 that the agreement would increase its labor costs less than 1 percent annually while allowing the company to offset that rise with efficiency gains. That helped trigger upgrades to investment-grade credit ratings and for the carmaker to resume paying a dividend.
Ford has estimated that its labor costs will come down as the company hires thousands of new workers to boost production as the U.S. auto market rebounds. Under the contract, new workers started at an entry-level wage of $15.78 an hour, rather than the roughly $28 an hour senior employees make. The entry- level wage will rise to $19.28 by 2015.

The Bengals just signed defensive end Carlos Dunlap to a long-term extension, which is a sign of how much they want him on the field in 2013 and beyond.
For now, though, Dunlap is just an observer at practice. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Dunlap is not practicing with the rest of the team on Wednesday because of a concussion he suffered in practice this week.
There's no word on his prognosis beyond being out "for now," but, as we've learned over the last few years, there isn't much more of a prognosis to give. Dunlap will need to stay on the sideline until he's no longer having symptoms and is cleared by doctors, something that can't be rushed in the heart of a season. So it certainly won't be rushed in the summer when the Bengals are more than a month away from their first meaningful game.
Once he is back, Dunlap will get to work on making the Bengals look good for giving him that aforementioned six-year, $40 million deal.

Dr. Steven Bouma-Prediger of the Hope College religion faculty will present the address "Can You Count?" on Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m. in the Maas Center auditorium.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Bouma-Prediger will be speaking through the "Last Lecture Series" organized by the college's Alcor chapter of the national Mortar Board honorary society to feature members of the faculty.
The title of the series, which the chapter initiated during the 2008-09 school year, is rhetorical. The lectures are not literally presented as the last that the speakers will deliver at Hope, but are meant to highlight the advice that they would most want to share if the event was indeed the final opportunity for them to address the college's students. The professors are being asked to reflect on their careers and lives, and to think deeply about what matters to them and about what wisdom they would like to impart.
The concept was inspired by the "Last Lecture" delivered at Carnegie Mellon University by Dr. Randy Pausch on Sept. 18, 2007. Pausch, a member of the Carnegie Mellon faculty who had terminal pancreatic cancer--a fact known at the time that he spoke--presented "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." He died on July 25, 2008, at age 47.
Bouma-Prediger is a professor of religion and chairperson of the department of religion at Hope. His scholarship focuses on ecology and theology.
His numerous publications include five books: "Beyond Homelessness: Christian Faith in a Culture of Displacement," co-authored with Brian Walsh; "For the Beauty of the Earth: A Christian Vision for Creation Care"; "Evocations of Grace: Writings of Joseph Sittler on Ecology, Theology, and Ethics," which he co-edited with Peter Bakken; "The Greening of Theology: The Ecological Models of Rosemary Radford Ruether, Joseph Sittler, and Jurgen Moltmann"; and, with Virginia Vroblesky, "Assessing the Ark: A Christian Perspective on Nonhuman Creatures and the Endangered Species Act."
He co-authored two chapters in the book "Living the Good Life on God's Good Earth." He is also the author of numerous published scholarly articles and essays, and has presented many papers and invited addresses.
"For the Beauty of the Earth," won an "Award of Merit" from "Christianity Today" in the theology/ ethics category of the magazine's "2002 Book Awards" program, and in December 2000 "Evocations of Grace" was one of only five books named "editor's picks" book of the year by "Christian Century."
Bouma-Prediger has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1994. He was invited to deliver the college's Commencement address by the graduating Class of 1998, was elected the recipient of the college's "Hope Outstanding Professor Educator" (H.O.P.E.) Award by the graduating Class of 1999, and was chosen by the college's students to receive the "Faculty Appreciation Award" during Homecoming in 2001. He is also a past faculty representative to the college's Board of Trustees.
Prior to coming to Hope, he was an assistant professor of philosophy and chair of the department at North Park College in Chicago, Ill. A 1979 Hope graduate, he holds an M.Phil. from the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto, Ontario; an M.Div. from Fuller Theological Seminary; and a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.
Mortar Board is a national honor society that recognizes college seniors for outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership and service, and provides opportunities for continued leadership development, promotes service to college and universities, and encourages lifelong contributions to the global community. Since its founding in 1918, the organization has grown from the four founding chapters to 227 collegiate chapters with nearly 250,000 initiated members across the nation.
The Alcor chapter has existed at Hope since the 1936-37 academic year, although it did not become part of the national Mortar Board organization until 1961.
The chapter also sponsored a "last chance talk" during the 1960s. The idea back then was to invite a faculty member to express his/her ideas under the hypothetical assumption that this would be the last opportunity to address the student body. The late Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra, professor of philosophy, delivered the first "last chance talk" in the spring of 1962.
The Maas Center is located at 264 Columbia Ave., on Columbia Avenue at 11th Street.

BRANDON — By 9 p.m. Tuesday night, Otter Valley Union High School poll workers had counted enough ballots to know that the school's twice-defeated 2007-2008 spending plan had finally passed. But earlier that evening, it looked as if the vote would have to be rescheduled for the fourth time. Pittsford residents had filled out the wrong ballots.
The final tally to approve the $10,766,837 budget was 1,028-830, including the Pittsford ballots.
About half an hour into counting, poll workers noticed that the Pittsford ballots were marked May 8, the day of the last vote, when the $10,884,962 spending plan was defeated, 587-455. Somehow, Pittsford residents had used the ballots left over from last month's vote.

MIDDLEBURY — School board members and educators in the UD-3 school district have come to terms on a new, three-year contract that provides enough new money for teacher salary increases of 4 percent during each year of the pact.
The new contract — ratified by the UD-3 board on June 5 and by members of the Middlebury Union High School Teachers' Association (MUHSTA) on Monday — will not result in any changes in the length of the academic year. It will also preserve the teachers' current health care benefits, through which they are responsible for a 10-percent co-pay contribution to their Blue Cross-Blue Shield plan.
Union District No. 3 includes Middlebury Union Middlebury School and Middlebury Union High School, which employ a combined total of around 100 teachers. The contract will cover union and well as nonunion members. Those who have chosen not to be a part of MUHSTA will pay a fee for the negotiations/collective bargaining process.
BRANDON — The fields at the Steinberg Farm in Brandon have been mostly fallow for 25 years. But Chuck Johnson and his California-based development firm, Elemental Development, which bought the 103 acres a few years ago, want to see those fields in bloom again.
This Friday at the Ball and Chain Café at 7 p.m., Johnson will present to the public the most current plans for that land just north of the Brandon Medical Center. He's calling it the Neshobe Farm Project, a holistic community complete with varied housing, organic farming, open space, recreational trails and a community center.
"I went from calling it a sustainable community to a holistic community because what I've heard from Brandon is that they need economic development as much as housing, so we're trying to create cottage industry, not leave anything out," Johnson said.

2nd January 2018
Analysis by Grayling Poland, December 2017
Mateusz Morawiecki, the previous Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development and Finance, has become the new Prime Minister. All previous ministers have been appointed again in the same positions and no changes were introduced at this point. Beata Szydło, the previous PM, was chosen as a minister without portfolio who will be responsible for social affairs. Some additional changes to the Council of Ministers might be introduced in January 2018 as the leader of their political party, Jarosław Kaczyński, has already announced. Kaczyński is likely to keep his influence over the government's actions.
Economy. The economy and development are likely to be given priority in the coming years. According to Morawiecki, Poland has followed a path of dependent development, mainly from foreign capital that considers Poland to be a periphery. Morawiecki sees Poland as a state with global economic aspirations and as such shouldn't shay away from competition and cooperation. Morawiecki states that to achieve that Poland needs to have national champions. The emphasis should be put on new technologies and advanced products. Poland should become an "entrepreneurial state" and Morawiecki wants his policy to lead towards that. As a minister Morawiecki encouraged the government to adopt a "Strategy for responsible development" and now as the Prime Minister he will have more means at his disposal to endorse his position. To ease the situation of entrepreneurs, a Business Constitution was created and Morawiecki has already announced similar projects to come.
Society. He is a true believer that all citizens should benefit from economic growth. For him, sealing up the tax system is just a tool to support the redistribution of goods and reduce poverty in Poland. In that sense a booming economy is crucial for a generous social policy. Therefore, the program 500+, Housing Plus and other initiatives will be continued or even expanded.
Foreign Policy. Poland wants to keep its strategic partnership with the US and European Union, but at the same time it would like to develop regional initiatives like the V4 and Three Seas Initiative. Some commentators claim that Morawiecki might improve relations with the EU institutions. However, so long as he doesn't oppose the changes in the judicial system or the freedom of the media, the possibilities to improve Poland's image will be quite limited and unsuccessful in the long-term.
Energy. Morawiecki sees coal as the most important energy source for Poland and will continue supporting the mining sector. At the same time, he plans to develop gas infrastructure so that Poland might serve as a gas hub for the CEE region. He would like to introduce some renewable energy into the Polish energy mix if it's beneficial and cost efficient. The decision on nuclear energy hasn't been made yet, but Morawiecki doesn't stand against it. What's more, he recognises the social and health implications caused by smog, which might lead to the promotion of a low-carbon economy.
Infrastructure. The main priority for the upcoming years is the construction of a new central airport located next to Warsaw. To fully benefit from the central location of Poland, the government wants to significantly improve the network of rail and road connections. This is not limited only to big projects like the construction of the Via Carpatia, but also involves developing local connections between towns and villages.
Healthcare. As under Beata Szydło, increasing spending on healthcare is one of the priorities for any government in Poland. Poland is on its way to increase spending on it to 6% of GDP in 2025 (in 2018 it should reach the level of 4.67%). Morawiecki plans to emphasise the importance of prevention when it comes to disease treatment – a National Institute of Oncology should be created as well as a national programme preventing cardiovascular diseases.
During his studies, Mateusz Morawiecki was involved in the activities of the group "Fighting Solidarity" – an organization founded by his father. He's was detained several times for opposing the communist regime by pulling down flags and painting anti-system slogans. In the early 90s, Morawiecki graduated in history and business studies and obtained an MBA from Wroclaw's universities. He gained international experience by doing research at Goethe University in Frankfurt and working at Bundesbank. After his return to Poland in 1998, he first worked at the Office of the Committee for European Integration and then became an advisor to the president for foreign trade at Wroclaw's Bank Zachodni. After the BZ was acquired by the Irish AIB, Morawiecki was appointed to the position of managing director of the bank. When the company merged with WBK, Morawiecki became a member of the board responsible for business support in the new institution and its CEO starting from May 2007.
In the past, Morawiecki was associated with political parties other than Law and Justice. He was a councillor for one of the AWS's regional assemblies in the years 1998-2002 and a member of the economic council run by Jan Krzysztof Bielecki in Donald Tusk's government in 2010-2012.

I've been trying to think of good ways to improve my narration of scenes when I can't actually practice firsthand with my group. On idea I had was to find some old text-only adventure/RPG games and learn from the techniques they use to create atmosphere and images with nothing but words.
Has anyone played some text-adventure games that they think could help? I'd obviously also prefer something that's as user-friendly as possible to minimize the frustration you get trying to do something that should be easy. (Nobody likes typing
go up ladder for 15 seconds just to realize all they had to do was type
climb ladder). Good storyline, interesting decision, interesting problem solving, and use of environment are also definite pluses.
If you can give me a brief description of the game and a link to download the game that would be amazing, but just a name or link to a list of text-adventure/RPG's would be fine.
I first asked this question on Gaming.SE, but it was closed as off-topic (they don't like recommendation questions, and with good reason), so I thought I'd come here. :D

Art submissions are due August 10th-- giving us enough time to get our shit together for Troy Night Out and First Friday (Troy, NY is across the Hudson River, and we are hoping to reel them into this project too!). TNO and 1st Friday are held at the last Friday of each month and the first Friday of each month as a bring the neighborhood together theory. Art is often exhibited, and that is what we plan on doing!!
We are still looking for a space, but plenty of people have already shown their interest, and I think it is only a matter of time before we find a space! Flyers have been made and are in the process of being distributed. Contact sites have also been set up: Facebook group and Myspace.com/PaperGirl_Albany
One of the great things we hope to do in Albany is not only bring the artist community together (there are various cites around Albany: Schenectady, Troy, Saratoga, etc), but also unite the neighborhood within Albany, the lower class areas. These neighborhoods are so close to downtown, and not as scary as they seem. I'm sure we'll find artists in these areas who have no outlet to present their art, and I'm very excited to incorporate these neighborhoods in the final bike ride.
The word is spreading, and there is a lot of interest!! And I'm so glad that I have such a project to keep myself feeling energized about being stuck in Albany for the summer!! There is no distance too far to submit art to Albany! Feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
I'll update you soon with Albany PaperGirl's progression!!!

Weight System Frequently Asked Questions
Weight System Troubleshooting
- The weight system cables too short.
- The weight system cables are twisted.
- Manufacturer's Warranty terms and conditons.
- Can I extend my extended warranty?
- Other Questions
1. The weight system cable is too short.
In many cases, cables appear to be short when they have not been routed correctly. The owner's manual should display the correct length of the cable. Measure the cable to be sure that it is the correct one for your machine. Check the assembly of the weight machine and re-route the cables. If the cable is less than ½" too short, the cable can be stretched by pushing the cable down and inserting the weight pin in the bottom weight stack. Let the cable stay this way overnight.
2. The weight system cables are twisted.
Cables can become twisted when the pulleys they run on begin to wear down or do not spin freely. Every month, check that each pulley is spinning freely. Pulleys can be lubricated with a light multi-purpose oil. Cables that are twisted need to be completely removed from the machine, and laid out on the floor overnight, allowing them to untwist.
3. Manufacturer's Warranty terms and conditons.
