JUV | Water and Wastewater Systems Replacement - Log Cabin Ranch | The remoteness of the Log Cabin Ranch (LCR) facility requires on-site water and wastewater treatment operations in order to provide running water and sewage services to the entire facility. However, the systems that are currently serving the facilities are aging quickly, and with technology advancements, are obsolete. In late 2011, JPD had a site visit from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), the regulatory agency overseeing water operations at LCR. CDPH indicated that the system was archaic and, as a result, introduces into the system many elements of risk to residents and staff, and suggested replacement in the future. Employees of the SFPUC have also conducted site visits and have come to the same conclusions about both the water and wastewater systems, along with the thought that the systems are over-engineered for the current demand on the system. JPD is looking to 1) formally review and develop an approach for replacing portions or all of the system and 2) funding to replace the system. | Emerging | |||

There are many focused-scope projects that affect a wide number of fire stations that must be addressed. There are also two critical facilities to be addressed. The Bureau of Equipment must be relocated to to a safer and more operationally efficient facility. The Department also must procure a larger location and facility to house the EMS ambulance division in light of current needs and requirements of the Department set forth by the State of California. | Planned | $208,235,460 | $208,235,460 | |

I have just finished to migrate all my pet projects to GitHub: http://github.com/smartrics. In there you'll also find some of the forks I have made to stuff that I have modified.
I find GitHub easier to play with (albeit git is horribly more complicated than svn) and I like some of its features.
The projects in Google Code are now here:
* Rest Fixture: http://github.com/smartrics/RestFixture
* Pic Builder: http://github.com/smartrics/PicBuilder
* Rest Client: http://github.com/smartrics/RestClient
* JMeter Rest Sampler: http://github.com/smartrics/JMeterRestSampler
So, bye bye Google Code and thanks for the hospitality!

Men's Slim Fit Jeans
A quality pair of slim fit jeans works equally well for casual and slightly more formal occasions. Choose from a variety of washes, from slick dark tones to lighter shades. Sleek shapes cut closer to the body than classic fit jeans make these designs effortlessly flattering. For a laid-back weekend look, team a pair of dark wash men's slim fit jeans with a T-shirt and trainers. Or smarten it up with a white shirt. If you prefer your cut even slimmer, opt for a pair of skinny jeans instead.

"Conversation enriches the understanding, but solitude is the school of genius"
Edward Gibbon
"The best thinking has been done in solitude. The worst has been done in turmoil."

New From Essence: New in Town & Irresistibles Trend Edition
''Extremely long-lasting and remarkably resistant: the hot trend edition "irresistibles!" by Essence will be here in February 2013 to help you create expressive eye make-up styles with a stay-on guarantee. Innovative 3D textures and water-resistant or waterproof formulas ensure dramatic looks. This trend edition contains everything a beauty could wish for: cool duo eyeshadows with a 3D effect in trendy colors, a volume mascara and an eyeliner pen that lasts for up to 24 hours as well as waterproof eye pencils. Can you resist?'' (Essence)
''London city calling! Or would you prefer New York, Shanghai or Barcelona? With the ultra-hip trend edition "new in town", Essence whisks you away on a beauty trip with lots of new products for a stylish city look in February 2013. This exciting tour of discovery has plenty of innovations in store for you: eyeshadows in the latest trendy colours, extremely long-lasting products for your eyes, a bb cream for a flawless complexion, lipglosses with xxxl shine effects and nail polish in the coolest colours! Beautylicious and absolutely new in town.'' (Essence)
I think the 'new ones in town' aren't as new, since some of the products repeat in both trend editions. Don't like the products, don't like the colors, don't like it overall. Period. Yes, Essence, I can resist. Where are the trend editions which you can't wait for? The feeling of not knowing whether you're gonna get the products you see on the promo and looks so good or not. Big lazy yawn. Boring. Next!
And what do you think?
Thanks for looking and commenting!

Edwards reflects on Tranmere victory.
Dave Edwards scored his first goal of the season with a deft header against Tranmere on Tuesday evening.
Whilst there was an element of luck about Leigh Griffiths's opening strike, there was no doubting that Wolves fully merited the three points.
Edwards admitted: "The first goal was a bit fortunate but we were worthy of a goal. The second killed the game before half-time.
"We played well in the second half but we should be scoring five or six goals in that half.
"I felt we got a little bit lazy in front of goal, maybe. It was too easy, if you like, at times.
"No disrespect to them (Tranmere). We had the chances but the final ball wasn't quite good enough.
"They are the games you should enjoy and you should enjoy scoring five or six.
"But that takes us into Saturday nicely and if we win at Peterborough it puts a real stamp on the league. And it really puts some points between us and the chasers."
Asked whether he felt Kenny Jackett would be investing in further strike power during the forthcoming transfer window, Edwards said: "I don't think so. Well, he could do, but we've got four good strikers with Doyle, Griff, Björn and Cass.
"So I think we have enough firepower here now, it is just getting them scoring.
"We have started to play a new system in the last few games which we are getting used to and when you have got someone like Doyle who can be clever and drop in the hole, and make that second striker, it is great for us.
"I just think we are really coming together and putting a stamp on the league."
One of the quartet mentioned, Jake Cassidy is still looking to break his senior duck with Wolves with a first goal being viewed as the potential first of many.
"Yes he does need that goal," agreed Edwards. "Similar to me. Mine was an instinctive one and Cass needs one that he doesn't need to think about.
"I had a couple of chances against Oldham and had too much time to think about it.
"He needs one to flash at him and to get something on it. That would be nice.
"He just needs to keep getting in those positions. He is a big strong lad. He won all of his headers and ran the channels hard.
"He is a great back-up to Griff and will be pushing for a starting place as well."
But, back to his own first goal – a header from Bakary Sako's corner. "It was my first of the season and it was nice to get it.
"I am playing a lot deeper role at the moment which I am enjoying but it is always nice to get on the scoresheet and hopefully there'll be a few more to come."

JPMorgan, Credit Suisse settle SEC case |
By Marcy Gordon ,AP Sunday, November 18, 2012, 12:05 am TWN |
WASHINGTON -- JPMorgan Chase and Credit Suisse have agreed to pay a combined US$417 million to settle federal civil charges of selling risky mortgage bonds to investors that the banks knew could fail ahead of the 2008 financial crisis.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) says JP Morgan failed to tell investors that mortgages tied to the bonds were delinquent. And both banks failed to properly disclose practices that allowed them to profit while investors lost millions, the SEC says. JPMorgan is paying US$296.9 million. Credit Suisse will pay US$120 million. The banks agreed to settle the charges without admitting or denying wrongdoing. The money will go to the investors, the SEC said. It is the latest case against major financial firms for their conduct in the years preceding the 2008 crisis. When the real estate bubble burst, home values plunged and millions of people lost their homes. Investors who bought the securities backed by mortgages lost billions. Robert Khuzami, the agency's enforcement director, said in a statement that inaccurate statements by banks in packaging and selling mortgage bonds "contributed greatly to the tremendous losses suffered by investors once the U.S. housing market collapsed." JPMorgan, the largest U.S. bank by assets, previously settled similar charges over mortgage securities with the SEC in June 2011 and agreed to pay US$153.6 million. Goldman Sachs & Co. agreed in July 2010 to pay US$550 million to settle charges of misleading buyers of complex mortgage investment. JPMorgan noted in a statement that the SEC accused the bank of negligence but not intentional misconduct. "J.P. Morgan is pleased to have reached agreement with the SEC to put these matters ... behind it," the statement said. The SEC's allegations against JPMorgan included risky mortgage bonds sold by Bear Stearns. JPMorgan bought Bear Stearns when it was near failure in March 2008, six months before the peak of the crisis.
1 Comment November 23, 2012 jillhobbs@ Yes, it's been a long time alright. What will happen? Will it be swept under the rug, through a loophole? JP Morgan might be the Federal Reserves left-hand man! I imagine JP Morgan has been ready for this also, holding a roomful of lawyers in the ready. Just last week I read they are controlling 28% of Greece's banking.

In Windows, the NVidia card/chipset is probably doing the decode heavy lifting. What chipset do you have. What % CPU in Task Manager when playing h.264?
In Linux, you probably are lacking the right video card driver / application combo so the CPU is doing all the work.Recommends: Kiva.org - Loans that change lives.

In Windows, DirectShow is optimized to work with NVidia Purevideo and ATI Avivo for GPU assited decode for playback (aka DXVA2).
In Linux, GPU assist is handled by the player app. Otherwise the CPU picks up the full decode load.Recommends: Kiva.org - Loans that change lives.
http://www.kiva.org/about -
It may not be possible unless you can find a player that utilizes the GPU. It seems your CPU can't handle the task on its own. I use VLC in Linux but not for HD.

strangely GNOME MPlayer was difference
i set it to use vdpau
i still got frames skipped
but i noticed that the cpu is real cool
& the gpu is getting warm by 5-7 degrees
i say strage because SMplayer is Mplayer
its just a frontend no?
i used "psensor" to check temperature
(btw, is there another app to test temperator? i need something that shows you the temp near the system watch) -
I haven't investigated HD players for Linux. I mostly use Linux on older machines that can't play HD.
Try asking in a Linux HTPC forum like MythTV. Let us know what you find.Recommends: Kiva.org - Loans that change lives.

Against Purdue last Saturday, true freshmen and sophomores accounted for 48 of Notre Dame's 71 rushing yards (67.6% - sacks not included) and 268 of their 377 receiving yards (71.1%). This continued what has clearly been one of the stories of the season for the Irish: they start a true freshman at quarterback in Jimmy Clausen, and each of their three leading rushers (James Aldridge, Armando Allen, and Robert Hughes) and four of their six leading receivers (Robby Parris, George West, Duval Kamara, and Golden Tate) are just one or two years removed from high school. On the season, 362 of Notre Dame's 391 rushing yards have come via true freshmen or sophomores, as have 582 of their 822 total receiving yards - numbers good for 91.2% and 70.8% of the team's offensive output in those categories.
How do these numbers stack up to other Division I programs, whether national championship contenders or teams in "rebuilding" mode? [NOTE: While I've done my best not to include redshirt sophomores in these statistics, I've probably made some mistakes somewhere. Where possible, I've also tried not to include sacks in the rushing totals, though that doesn't really work for teams with dual-threat quarterbacks.]
Let's start with top-ranked LSU and USC. The Tigers start an upperclassman at quarterback in Matt Flynn, and while their #1 rusher is an upperclassmen, each of the five players who follow him in total rushing yardage are true freshmen or sophomores. Still, though, only 750 of LSU's 1117 total rushing yards, or 67.14%, have come from underclassmen - much less than Notre Dame's 91.2%. Meanwhile, among their receiving corps, LSU has only two underclassmen with more than 100 receiving yards on the season, and true freshmen and sophomores account for a total of 416 of their 1084 total receiving yards, or 38.4%.
USC, meanwhile, also starts an upperclassman at quarterback, but four of their five leading rushers are true underclassmen. On the whole, true freshmen or sophomores account for 71.2% of USC's rushing yards, still far less than the percentage for Notre Dame. Only two Trojan underclassmen have 99 or more receiving yards, though, and underclassmen account for only 330 of 898, or 36.8%, of their total receiving yards.
It also seems worth looking at a few other programs with third-year coaches. One such team is the Florida Gators, who start a true sophomore at quarterback in Tim Tebow. Tebow is also the team's leading rusher, and fellow sophomore Percy Harvin leads the team in receiving yards and is also their third-leading rusher. But on the whole, the Gators' offense is still much less dependent on underclassmen than Notre Dame's: 71.4% of their rushing yards come from true freshmen or sophomores, to go with 53.6% of their receiving yards.
The Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois are also in their third year under head coach Ron Zook. They start a true sophomore at quarterback in Juice Williams, but three of their four leading rushers - Williams is #2 - are upperclassmen, and underclassmen have accounted for only 267 of their 1278 rushing yards (20.9%) so far this season. Meanwhile, the leading receiver for the Illini is freshman Arrelious Benn, with 286 yards on the season, but overall their underclassmen have accounted for only 55.6% (438 of 787) of Illinois's receiving yards.
Finally, let's take a look at the University of Washington, in their third year under former Irish head coach Tyrone Willingham. The Huskies start a true sophomore at quarterback in Jake Locker, and he is also the team's leading rusher. But Locker is the only UW underclassman with substantial rushing yardage, and true freshman and sophomores have accounted for 503 of the Huskies' 804 yards on the ground so far, or 62.6%. Moreover, all of Washington's top receivers are upperclassmen: true freshmen and sophomores have only 17 receiving yards so far this year for UW, a mere 1.97% of their 861 total.
Here's a chart detailing those statistics:
What these numbers make clear is that Notre Dame's offense is MUCH more reliant on true freshmen and sophomores than other programs. Moreover, the fact that the Irish have fallen behind in each of their games so far this year means that very few of these numbers are based on performance in "mop-up duty": ND's depth chart lists a true freshman or sophomore at either first- or second-string for every offensive position except center. Thus far this year, a huge portion of the offensive burden has been placed on players only one or two years removed from high school - and judging by how things have gone, there is no reason to think this state of affairs won't become even more pronounced as the year goes on.
None of this is meant to excuse an 0-5 start that is the worst in Notre Dame's history. This team has underperformed, and they have no-one but themselves to blame for that. But comparisons like this certainly help to put things in perspective.

do u think long or short wires have the higheset resistance explain why?
that was part 1 of the question
part 2 is:what will you measure to find outwhich wires have the highest resistance?
Any science textbook discussing electricity will give you the answers. And look what you can find using Google (it took me 67 seconds):
Electrical Resistance
ScI-Journal | What Factors Affect the Resistance of a Wire? (1)
Resistance and Resistivity
A short wire has a higher resistance than a longer one for the simple reason that electrons have to go through a longer piece of wire. Else, we would try to make wire as long as possible everywhere. We see that it is the opposite indeed.
The length but also the diameter of a wire is important.
The material of it is also a relevant parameter.
Actually, we observe that it is mainly the electron on the surface that moves and that's why wires are often an assembly of many small wires.
Finally, I suggest that you post this kind of question on the physics forum.

The Hives
The difficulty with keeping it real in punk lies in the danger of repetitiveness. That's where bands like Sweden's the Hives come in. Singer Howlin' Pelle Alqvist has got the squealing, hell-bound, late-adolescent shriek of Johnny Rotten before he went MTV, and the band grinds out a dozen or so songs on Veni Vidi Vicious that have the same mindless, breaking-shit joy of early punk. There is a scabrous but amused abrasiveness here — a grinning 'Fuck you' delivered through a bloody mouth that's simultaneously laughing and spitting out recently dislodged teeth.
Having recently signed with SoCal punk monolith Epitaph has made it easier for the much-buzzed-about Hives to get some deserved exposure in the States. The music is addictive and catchy, but it still rocks — and it would seem that these guys can actually play their instruments, though their English may be somewhat shaky. "When we were 14 or 15, English was sort of a made-up language," guitarist Nicholaus Arson has said. "It was like you could sing whatever. You could scream, 'Yeah, baby!' and it sounded like you really knew what you were doing. We still think it's a funny language."
The band exhibits creativity in songwriting as well, blasting out sharply jangling tunes that have plenty of aggressiveness but still retain their melody. The players seem to have great fun with faux-nihilistic verses: "Been trying all my life, but I can't add up your subtraction/Work, eat, play then go to sleep/That won't get me no satisfaction/Gotta find a way out, yeah/A way out of this mess." They also enjoy toying with song structures and chord patterns until all of the songs sound kind of familiar, but not quite duplicates of someone else's stuff.
The Hives play with a vigor and heart that eludes many of their neo-punk American counterparts. Catch the buzz.

Kentucky's announced attendance figure of 44,902 for the Vanderbilt game raised some eyebrows at Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday. I checked with UK officials about getting the actual scanned attendance figure for the game (each person who enters the venue has a ticket or pass scanned), but they said those numbers were unavailable at the time and had never been requested previously.
So we filed an open-records request to get the actual scanned attendance for games this season and last season. This season's numbers are below, but Kentucky said it does not have the numbers available for the 2011 season.
I might do a longer piece this week about how attendance is figured at UK and throughout the country (there is no industry standard, apparently), but I wanted to put the numbers out there as promised.
Game | Announced | Actual* |
Kent State | 48,346 | 37,000 |
Western Kentucky | 53,980 | 43,174 |
South Carolina | 49,810 | 35,086 |
Miss State | 49,498 | 29,927 |
Georgia | 54,553 | 33,420 |
Vanderbilt | 44,902 | 18,885 |
* UK's response includes the mention that these "actual" numbers are of scanned ticket sales through Ticketmaster, but that "these numbers do not include players, media, workers, etc., who were also in attendance during the games and do not use the scanned ticket procedure."

When I saw this diagram pattern from this site - I knew it would be perfect for me to try. I printed it out, carried it to the couch and proceeded to crochet away. This pattern was so easy - I love it. I used a baby yarn with an E hook. It measures 12" across.

People vote for a candidate for good and bad reasons. It is their vote, so if they want to cast in for a bad reason, so be it.
* I am voting against him because he is going to take away my guns.
* I am voting against him because his middle name is the same as the dictator of a country we invaded.
* I am voting for him because his VP choice is a maverick and purty (Yep. purty as an unbranded cow. )
* I am voting for him because he is for change
* I am voting for him because he will be tough on terrorists.
* I am voting for the other guy because he has experience.
* I am voting for the other guy because he is too old and smells like Grandpa.
* I am voting for him because he is a war hero
*I am voting for him because his ears stick out.
Some may be valid reasons; most are of course not.
My reason for voting for Obama?
* I am voting for him because it will make my Republican mother nuts.

I thought it best to place these thoughts on this particular thread. To begin with, some recent Cyburbian history.....
Another thread has a few comments that many Cyburbians were offended by, mentioning our next President's car. I am not here to discuss whether or not that was meant to be just a joke, a comment about the car and its' features, or if there was some deeper (and offensive) meaning.
And our history of presidential humor.....
I recall reading about Thomas Nast, considered a fore-runner with political cartoons. His drawings were from the middle of our country's first full century. I remember the record album that came out just after John Kennedy assumed the Presidency. I have enjoyed the humor that has come at the expense of the presidents that this Bear has lived through. In recent years I watched (and heard) as Bush One, Bill Clinton, and Bush Two were skewered.
I like presidential humor. Yes, it may sometimes get close to or actually reach an offensive level. When it does, backlash (even in the form of forum comments) can pop up. But I would hate to see an environment where our voices (and our humor, even if offensive) are silenced.
Finally.....one of my favorite funny-men is Bill Maher. Maher is very libertarian in his views....with streaks of liberal. He has already done some bits on his HBO series, expressing a concern that the Presidency of Barack Obama will scare away humorists. And quite frankly, the last sentence in the post on the other thread sounded very much like a Bill Maher comment.
There was an article about this a while back. The late night comics (whom are all white) seem like they are treading lightly on how to poke fun at President Obama. DL Hugley seems to be having a field day with this because in his view "he's a brother, and well yanno". I guess that's gives him the green light to poke fun at such things as "spinners on the new presidential limo" (which i think as a lot of people found offensive, seemed a little distaseful, but a little funny if the comment were put in a better context).
The problem so far with Obama and humor is almost like this man is not human, but like cyborg. The man is sooo calculating it is not even funny. Very statesman like, but he calculates his moves. Not as slick as slick willy, or as bumbling as W it is hard to define Obama right now other than the man cannot bowl, nor can he be a plumber, or has he demonstrated the ability to throw down some shots with a few beers like his secretary of state can.
We need to find some time to really begin finding how to poke fun at this man in a tasteful, non-racist way because quite frankly, our nations racist relationship still remains on shaky ground.
No Signature Required
Agreed. A nation that has lost the ability to genuinely laugh at itself and its leadership in good humor is a sorry place indeed. The item in that other thread (and I have personally abandoned it) was in a thread in another forvm that I follow that is heavily populated with REAL flaming lefties (the kind capable of sickening Cyburbia's most hard-core lefties) and they were the ones producing that, even adding more of the stereo-typical things, such as an earthquake sound system and so forth, to that car - and laughing at their own work. I was looking upon it in a 'Saturday Night Live' or Onion sort of manner.
And had the McCain/Palin ticket won, I'd have been making similar commentary about them, such as pondering at how many huskies might have been needed to draw Palin's Secret Service approved armor-plated dogsled into Washington and down Pennsylvania Ave during the parade.
A new day is dawning in Montana and across the country, and the dawn will spread across the world, as well.
Does the sun seem to be shining brighter this morning?

Today I'll be waking up from a sustained 6+ year nightmare.......this is what it feels like to beat cancer in the political sense
The way of acquiescence leads to moral and spiritual suicide. The way of violence leads to bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers. But, the way of non-violence leads to redemption and the creation of the beloved community.

I can't wait until tomorrow when I can return to political threads.
On NPR, while the quartet was playing, it was noted that the new presidency takes effect at noon. The oath was a few minutes late. (Did Chief Justice Roberts not rehearse at all?)

Comedy Central (David Allen Grier) has hammered Obama and his heritage and it has been side splitting funny. They had a photoshopped pic of Obama in a durag sporting brass knuckles like a gang banger. Let the comedians have him. He gets elected to run our country and be the foundation of jokes for 4 years.
Dude, I'm cheesing so hard right now.
the music was beautiful, and a picture of diversity.
i enjoyed the speech. i thought it was full of hope and energy.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. -Martin Luther King Jr.
I'm not American but have just watched/listened to the whole thing and Lowery's benediction and the John Williams arrangement including Lord of the Dance were the highlights for me.
Wonderful ceremony and speech, but I am concerned.
Obama, seemingly, has mountains of expectation riding on him, and I hope he doesn't get screwed by the people's hype.
Good luck, Mr. Obama, you're going to need it!
I'm sorry. Is my bias showing?
Every day is today. Yesterday is a myth and tomorrow an illusion.
I didn't watch any of the innauguration but listened at my desk. Can anybody confirm that Dick Cheney was there in a wheelchair? I heard he threw his back out packing up boxes while moving out of the Vice Presidential Residence at the Naval Observatory.
"Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost." - 1980 Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan
I understand that that was true.
Yup, Wheelchair! Cheney. NPR had cameras in the hallway beneath the Capitol, and he was wheeled along with W to reach the platform. The outdoor views cut away. He was holding a cane, so perhaps he hobbled down the stairs.
Loading into the limo, the view did not change, and I thought that was somewhat tacky. (Usually a broadcast will avert its eyes as the coffin is placed into the wall, etc.)
Interesting Air Force 1 stair-closing technique by the military guy.
Wow. Just, wow. Then they get back in the limo, it travels a few blocks, they hop out and walk and wave some more.
I was six in 1963, and still impressionable in 1968. Could the Secret Service have borrowed the Popemobile?
On a happy note (heh), I am in low brass heaven watching all these marching bands. The Tuba Christmas arrangement of Jingle Bells contains part of the National Emblem march, and I keep expecting the melody to go from that back to the holiday tune.
One of the military ensembles had about ten big horns, and it looked like they were hauling them on their right shoulders, then unison raised them up, placed over their heads, and settled on their left for playing. I will have to do that. (Oh, wait, everything I do is in unison. Nevermind.)
Right after the swearing in, the Marine band was playing Stars & Stripes Forever, and little kids were jumping around to it, doing square dance elbow turns. I hate to log off and go home!

On his first day on the job, Obama got the Israelis out of Gaza and two war criminals out of Washington D.C. , all while dancing the night away.
Good job, but try not to set the bar too high at the get-go.
