Sometimes I need to get some files from my desktop computer, so I send a wake on LAN package (using my laptop) to the computer and it turns on. But every 30 times I have to wait ~30 minutes for the file system check (and I can't cancel it through SSH or so).
Many people would like to move the file system check to shutdown, but these projects and ideas seem to be quite abandoned:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutoFsck https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/prompt-for-fsck-on-shutdown http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11021/
I tried to use AutoFsck, but I did not succeed to get it work with LightDM - see: Run a script with user interaction on log out / shutdown?
Maybe somebody has a different idea for an work a round?
Disabling the file system check is not an option for me.

Eric Jaffe
Eric Jaffe is the former New York bureau chief for CityLab. He is the author of A Curious Madness and The King's Best Highway.
Today the Bloomberg administration is expected to announce that Cornell University will be awarded the right to build a vast new tech-focused campus in New York City. Cornell beat out a number of competitors, domestic and international alike, for the honor — presumably securing the award with the announcement, last Friday, of a $350 million anonymous gift that will go toward the project (we're looking at you, Andy Bernard). Its top competitor, Stanford, dropped out of the race the same day, citing an inability to reach an agreement with the city on the project (though the Wall Street Journal reports that the school "preferred to quit than lose").
Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the competition earlier this year, saying he wanted New York City to have an engineering-technology program on par with those of Silicon Valley and Boston — regions that lead the high-tech industry thanks mostly to similar programs at Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As the New York Times reported in April, none of New York's universities has a graduate engineering program in the country's top ten; Columbia is ranked No. 16 by U.S. News and World Report. Cornell, which already has its medical school located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, has proposed a $2 billion tech campus on Roosevelt Island if granted the award. The school, which would be created in partnership with the Israel Institute of Technology, would open in 2012 as development plans solidify.
The real winner here may be Roosevelt Island — that skinny landmass, 2 miles long and .15 miles wide, wedged between Manhattan and Queens in the East River. The Bloomberg administration has promised $100 million in city funds to the competition winner for the purpose of infrastructure improvements. Much of that will presumably go toward transportation upgrades. Right now there are few good ways to reach Manhattan from Roosevelt Island: a single subway stop along the F line, or a recently modernized air tram, which runs but four times an hour during off-peak times. Only one bridge connects the island with the city, and that via Queens; the Queensboro Bridge linking Manhattan and that borough goes right over Roosevelt Island without an exit. In other words, if you want to take a cab from Manhattan back to Roosevelt late at night, you have to go into Queens first.
The lack of a bridge to Manhattan does have its benefits. Areas of Roosevelt Island have been designated as "car-free" zones, and its small scale also makes it a natural choice for bike-share development. In 2009 a group of planning students from Hunter College put together an "accessibility" blueprint for the island. According to the study, the island's original development, which dates back to 1969, envisioned a completely auto-free environment, but since the time of that idealized vision the area has experienced problems from its "aging and neglected infrastructure." The report suggests improved pedestrian facilities, reliability upgrades to the F train, and the development of a ferry service among ways to make Roosevelt Island more navigable. It also proposes a cantilevered bike path [PDF] to improve the safety of bike riders along the island's lone bridge, as well as a 1,000-foot bicycle bridge across the East River into Manhattan:
This visionary bridge will allow residents to reach Manhattan by foot in less than five minutes, by bike in less than two minutes, relieving congestion on the tram and the F-train (these travel times are calculated using an average pedestrian speed of 2.5 miles per hour and an average cycling speed of 12 mph). The new bridge would make biking particularly convenient, as it will make it possible to ride from Roosevelt Island to Central Park in 4-6 minutes. The bridge will also provide an emergency access route off the Island in the event of a tram and/or subway outage. A similar bridge, the 1,000-foot Simone de Beauvoir Pedestrian Bridge in Paris, was constructed in 2007 for 21 million Euros ($29.5 million) (Dietmar Feichtinger Architectes 2009). Roosevelt Island's new bridge would be required to have a center span allowing a 140-foot clearance because of the East River's use as a shipping channel.
That's exactly the type of thing Cornell might like: it would be attractive to prospective students (there isn't much nightlife on Roosevelt Island) and facilitate a connection with the medical campus, which is right across the river. Of course it will take a radically cost-effective design to make that happen for $100 million, but that's for the new engineering students to figure out, right?

About 13 in the past, the world was unveiled in an amazing activity referred to as "Worms" for the Laptop or computer. Originally designed by Team17, Worms had been a significant amount of entertaining with lots of sequels made afterwards. The new phone/iPod online game, iShoot, designed by Naughty Pieces Application, borrows a lot of gameplay aspects from the Worms sequence. That's not to say that iShoot is really a clone of Worms, simply that its primary gameplay of having multiple tanks snapping shots at one another by using a destructible two dimensional setting is very similar to Worms. Having said that, iShoot's sales hype from the App Shop sounded very good thus i experienced great objectives before commencing my report on this $2.99 video game. TelechargementsPremium.com
Upon introducing iShoot, the very first thing you'll notice will be the straightforwardness of their food selection. There are only two choices: New Activity and Directions. Selecting recommendations provides the player a quick summary of how you can take part in the video game, although tapping one other choice certainly starts a brand new game. Up to four gamers can take part in iShoot, with all the remainder of your areas optionally becoming packed by AI foes. It's worthy of remembering the AI for iShoot will not be particularly demanding until you strike the complete leading levels. To illustrate, a "hard" computer challenger in the one particular-on-one match is decently beatable, yet an "extreme" opponent is frustratingly challenging with a lot of of the photographs becoming old-on.
Decently beatable
- Triche Android Jeux.
- About 13 yrs ago, the globe was introduced to an incredible.
This video game carries a convert centered game play. A person can control one particular container to play this video game. The object on this activity is to do whatever it will require to eliminate other reservoir. You possess numerous weaponry and every hit will take out not simply the challenger but also the surrounding landscape. This roughs in the terrain and will make it difficult to intention effectively. This adds to the exciting as a fluke picture on the correct angle can rating a primary hit. Or, both tanks might be at the end of the tether but nevertheless make it through just because the challenger are unable to goal accurately and hit other container. Generateur
The surrounding landscape This roughs
By far the most valuable element of this game is its weapons. There is lots of choice offered with regards to tools are worried. Before the start of every single phase, you happen to be provided resources to acquire tools. You must pick your weaponry wisely. Proceeding set for the costly Shiva bomb will give you very little money for just about any other tool. Utilizing the tool is a tactical determination and really should be taken properly. To use the nuke to make a crater and reduce the challenger or even to use it to finish away from the rival is a mil buck issue. If you want some area, you are able to opt for the surfaces changing weapons to create mounds or wall space to bar the accessibility paths of your respective opponent. The weaponry form the most exciting aspect of this game which online game would not ended up being very popular had it not been for that wonderful choices readily available in terms of weaponry are involved.

Tools are worried Before
Unless you want to focus on relocating the container about, you should decide on a simple guide of your mountain. However, if you wish wickedly complex maps, choose the one the place you fight on top of Attach Rushmore. This video game could have been far more enjoyable experienced the designers granted the players to select their maps. At present, you need to play about the road map allocated through the game. This limitation stops from playing on your beloved chart repeatedly.
Fight on top
The 2D images of iShoot is certainly not to create property about. It will be the regular for this kind of online game. The tanks are small and are not created in details. Players usually do not count on anything else too. Even so, the situations have already been perfectly made and are quite vibrant. However, the routine body level slowdown foliage an unsatisfactory style within the mouth. The actual existence of a structure level stutter in a two dimensional setting is proof of extremely careless computer programming by the builders. This is certainly a single matter that need to be resolved. Code de Triche

Japan's Conservative Party Returns to Power
(TOKYO) -- Japan's conservative Liberal Democratic Party staged a dramatic comeback Sunday, winning a landslide victory in the powerful lower house of Parliament, just three years after it was ousted from power.
Exit polls showed the main opposition party en route to secure a two-thirds majority with coalition party New Komeito, handing Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and his Democratic Party of Japan a crushing defeat. The super majority allows the LDP to take control of both houses of Parliament, ending a deadlock that has plagued Japan for years and led to political instability.
The win paves the way for former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's return, just five years after he resigned from office, citing health concerns. Abe's year-long term was marred by scandals involving cabinet ministers, and the 58-year-old said he had yet to regain "100 percent of the trust" back from voters.
"People are watching closely to see if the LDP can really respond to the expectations of the people," he said, in an interview with broadcaster NHK. "We are determined to produce results."
Abe is expected to shift Japanese policy to the right, calling for a revision of Japan's pacifist constitution, and increased military spending. He has advocated for a tougher stance against China in the ongoing territorial dispute over the Senkaku islands.
"This is the territory of Japan. That is a reality that will never be changed," he reiterated Sunday.
Abe has promised more public spending and aggressive monetary policy to weaken a strong yen and lift the economy out of a 20-year slump. He has supported the use of nuclear power, despite increasing anti-nuclear sentiment stemming from the Fukushima nuclear disaster last year.
Noda resigned as party leader, apologizing for the dismal election results.
"Politicians need to be judged by the results that we deliver, and the greatest responsibility for this great defeat falls on myself," he told reporters.
The DPJ swept to power in 2009, after half a century of nearly uninterrupted rule by the LDP, vowing bold change. But the party failed to follow through on its campaign promises. Former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama was forced to resign over the controversy surrounding U.S. Marine base Futenma in Okinawa. His successor Naoto Kan stepped down over his handling of the March 11, 2011 tsunami and nuclear disaster. Noda never recovered from an unpopular push to double the sales tax to deal with Japan's mounting public debt.
Several third parties emerged to appeal to voters disenchanted with the LDP and DPJ, but only one, the right-leaning Japan Restoration Party, won a significant number of seats. Led by conservative former Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara, the group picked up more than 40 seats, establishing itself as a major third party force.

Leonardo Fagundes had always dreamed of attending the Olympics.
The 40-year-old Brazilian, who was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, missed several chances to attend past Summer Games for various reasons.
But then Brazil was selected to host the 2016 Games in Rio — the first for a South American country.
"Now it's in my house," the self-proclaimed sportsman told NBC. "I had all the opportunities."
Brazilian residents had to register for tickets in January 2015 and then apply for specific events in March. Even before he had a single ticket in his hands, Fagundes requested time off from his job as a physical education teacher so he could be completely available for the Games.
Tickets were sold through a lottery system before a second lottery phase for unsuccessful applicants began in July. Online sales for unsold tickets then began in October.
Fagundes convinced three friends to also take off from work for the Olympics, and having three more people entering the same lotteries increased Fagundes' chances of getting tickets to the events he wanted to attend.
After the lottery phase, the friends divvied up the responsibility of finding more tickets once they were available for sale online.
One-hundred and five tickets and $16,000 Reals ($5,000 USD) later, the former volleyball coach was ready to live his Olympic dream.
The first two days were easy. On Aug. 4, they saw Argentina and Portugal play in the first round of the men's soccer competition and then attended the opening ceremony on Aug. 5.
But then the marathon began to pick up speed. On Aug. 6 they attended a game of handball, a judo match and swimming heat. The next day it was basketball, judo, tennis and swimming. The following day he checked off judo, tennis, basketball, swimming, another judo match and basketball game, fencing, volleyball, and more tennis.
"I'm really tired," he said. "My feet hurt. I sleep an average of four to five hours a night. It's very tiring. But this is once in a lifetime."
As of Friday afternoon, Fagundes had attended 75 events and only missed three by virtue of time. He decided not to attend another 10 events.
"I initially didn't have a clue about the logistics of transportation and the distance between venues," he said. "For that reason, I've been forced to make adjustments to my schedule over the course of the Games."
The marathoners plan their daily routine the night before, which includes mapping out events, choosing the best form of transportation to each venue and preparing their own food to avoid pit stops during the day.
"Once in a while we'll stop to eat something at the Olympic Park, but we always take time to buy a beer," he added, noting he's spent upward of $18,000 Reals ($5,600 USD) between tickets, transportation and drinks.
Contrary to other reports, Fagundes said the public transportation system for the Olympics is vast and efficient. The only real challenge they have faced is with the distance between some of the venues, which are spread out throughout many of Rio's suburban boroughs. Some days, he said, a decision is made to skip an event that may take too long to get to, if it isn't a priority, in order to make it to something else.
Witnessing so many memorable moments, Fagundes says he can't choose just one favorite.
"During the opening ceremony, when the Brazilian delegation entered the arena, and then the lighting of the torch, that's what the Olympics represents to me," he said. "But also every time I hear the Brazilian national anthem played, and Monday two Brazilians on the podium to receive medals. Equally momentous."
Fagundes will cap his marathon of Olympic events Sunday at the Maracanã Stadium, when he attends the closing ceremony. Watch the event live at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.

The Treasury Department has reportedly reached a deal with cash-strapped automaker Chrysler LLC that could keep the automaker from bankruptcy, The Washington Post reported Tuesday citing two sources familiar with the negotiations.
The terms of the deal weren't immediately available but would likely include the planned alliance with Italian company Fiat, which is set to take control of some of Chrysler's assets, the Post reported.
The tentative deal would likely give Fiat a 35 percent stake in the company and give the remaining amounts to lenders and the United Auto Workers' union, which also struck a deal with Chrysler over the weekend.
If the deal goes through, the UAW would get the majority stake -- 55 percent -- and in turn relieve some of the $10 billion the "Big Three" automaker owes the union.
Chrysler has until April 30 to negotiate a deal with the Treasury Department under a deadline set by the White House.
Chrysler's lenders are owed $6.9 billion in loans, but have since written down the debt to $2 billion. The company employs 54,000 workers internationally.

A Whale Of A Tale!: Ricardo Pitts-Wiley Brings Mixed Magic to LA/
Over a multi-year collaboration, playwright and director Ricardo Pitts-Wiley, Melville scholar Wyn Kelley, and media expert Henry Jenkins have developed a new approach for teaching Moby-Dick in the age of YouTube and hip-hop. They will explore how "learning through remixing" can speak to contemporary youth, why Melville might be understood as the master mash-up artist of the 19th century, and what might have happened if Captain Ahab had been a 21st century gang leader.
* Part of the Library Foundation of Los Angeles and Los Angeles Public Library's month-long citywide initiative "What Ever Happened to Moby Dick?"
Henry Jenkins is Provost's Professor of Communication, Journalism, and Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California. He has written and edited more than fifteen books on media and popular culture, including Spreadable Media: Creating Meaning and Value in a Networked Culture with Sam Ford and Joshua Green. His other published works reflect the wide range of his research interests, touching on democracy and new media, the "wow factor" of popular culture, science-fiction fan communities, and the early history of film comedy. His most recent book, Reading in a Participatory Culture: Remixing Moby-Dick for the Literature Classroom was written with Wyn Kelley, Katie Clinton, Jenna McWilliams, Erin Reilly, and Ricardo Pitts-Wiley.
Wyn Kelley teaches in the Literature Section at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and is author of Melville's City: Literary and Urban Form in Nineteenth-Century New York and of Herman Melville: An Introduction. She also co-author Reading in a Participatory Culture: Re-Mixing Moby-Dick in the English Classroom with Henry Jenkins and Ricardo Pitts-Wiley. She is former Associate Editor of the Melville Society journal Leviathan, and editor of the Blackwell Companion to Herman Melville. A founding member of the Melville Society Cultural Project, she has collaborated with the New Bedford Whaling Museum on lecture series, conferences, exhibits, and a scholarly archive. She serves as Associate Director ofMEL (Melville Electronic Library), an NEH-supported interactive digital archive for reading, editing, and visualizing Melville's texts.
Ricardo Pitts-Wiley is the co-founder of the Mixed Magic Theatre, a non-profit arts organization dedicated to presenting a diversity of cultural and ethnic images and ideas on the stage. While serving as Mixed Magic Theatre's director, Pitts-Wiley gained national and international acclaim for his page-to-stage adaptation of Moby Dick, titled Moby Dick: Then and Now. This production, which was presented at the Kennedy Center for the Arts in Washington, DC, is the centerpiece of a national teachers study guide and is featured in the book, Reading in A Participatory Culture. In addition to his work as an adapter of classic literature Pitts-Wiley is also the composer of over 150 songs and the author of 12 plays with music including:Waiting for Bessie Smith, Celebrations: An African Odyssey, andThe Spirit Warrior's Dream.

The fateful voyage of the Pequod and its revenge-obsessed Captain Ahab is reimagined in Moby Dick: Then and Now. Alba, a young woman in contemporary urban America, is hell-bent on avenging the gang-related death of her brother Pip in this adaptation of Herman Melville's classic American novel. Moby Dick: Then and Now emerged through Ricardo Pitts-Wiley's work with incarcerated youth at the Rhode Island Training School, a juvenile prison. Pitts-Wiley, an actor, director, playwright and composer with Mixed Magic Theatre, encouraged the youth to read and rewrite this challenging novel in relation to their own realities. The 19th-century whaling trade became the 21st-century drug trade, and the young writers' creativity inspired the stage production, which remixed Melville's language with hip hop. Pitts-Wiley's approach is featured in the new book Reading in a Participatory Culture: Remixing Moby-Dick in the English Classroom, co-written by USC professor Henry Jenkins. This staged reading will feature student actors from USC and local high schools. Henry Jenkins will moderate a post-show discussion with Pitts-Wiley and the cast.
Organized by the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Co-sponsored by the USC School of Dramatic Arts.

Best-Ever Black Bean Soup with Cilantro-Lime Rice is a quick, hearty, and delicious gluten-free soup recipe. Fresh and flavorful.
Hi. My name is Kristin, and I'm addicted to Chipotle Burrito Bowls.
Hi, Kristin.
I have at them at least twice a week, and this past weekend? Twice in less than 24 hours! Once before my Mom and I tackled the shops at the Mall of America, then again on Sunday night after sending Ben out to retrieve a couple for dinner when I still couldn't get the thought of a hot and fresh bowl out of my head.
Vegetarian, white rice, black beans, loads of pico, a scoop of salsa verde, and MAS GUACAMOLE. I think Sunday night's bowl tipped the scales at over 3lbs purely from the whack of guacamole the woman who made my bowl so generously dolloped on top.
I have literally never seen anyone put as much guacamole in one burrito bowl in my entire life, Ben jealously informed me after placing the bowl in my hand, then watching it drop from the weight.
Did you know the semi-final push that got us to move to Des Moines from Minneapolis, where Chipotle locations run free, was that DSM finally got one too? 'Tis true. 'Tis true.
Anyway, I freaked when I came across a recipe last week for Black Bean Soup that is totally reminiscent of my beloved bowl. Seasoned black beans simmered in chicken broth and spices, then scooped over steaming, Chipotle-style, Cilantro Rice, and topped with creamy avocado slices.
I was blown away by how delicious this soup is! Thick, creamy, hearty, and filling, it combines my love of all thing soup, with all things Chipotle. I have never made a black bean soup before either and was so tickled with how it turned out.
If you've never had or made black bean soup either, give this recipe a go. It is so simple, and simmers for only 15 minutes before a portion of the soup is blended to make it nice and creamy. Totally not a big deal at all though and, again, super simple.
High in protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and flavor – this soup is the BEST!
Start the Best-Ever Black Bean Soup with Cilantro-Lime Rice by sauteing 1/2 small minced onion in 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil until it's nice and tender. Add 2 minced garlic cloves then saute for 30 more seconds, stirring constantly, until its wonderfully fragrant.
Now, the beans we'll be adding into the soup later are already seasoned, but we're also going to add 2 teaspoons chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin for an extra, smoky kick. Saute the seasonings for about another 30 seconds.
Now turn your attention to the beans. You'll need 2 cans seasoned black beans. I used Trader Joe's Cuban Style Black Beans which come already seasoned with garlic, onions, bell peppers and spices. Bush's has a version, too. (As always, check labels to ensure products are gluten-free!)
Drain the beans, but don't rinse them, then add 'em into the pot.
Now add 1-1/2 cups water and 1 cup chicken broth. That's it for the soup ingredients!
Bring the soup up to a boil then simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Now, to make the soup extra thick and creamy, scoop a couple ladle-fulls into a blender or food processor (or use an immersion blender,) then blend until it's pretty smooth.
Stir the puree back into the pot, then add a few dashes of green Tabasco sauce. I LOVE this stuff! It's more tangy than spicy, and adds so much flavor. I always add a few zings to my burrito bowls. :)
Now, to make the Chipotle-style, Cilantro-Lime Rice to go underneath and soak up all the yummy flavors, cook 1 cup long grain white rice in 2 cups water spiked with 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. The oil is optional, but it gives the rice the most AMAZING mouth-feel. That's right.
Once the rice is nice and fluffy, stir in 3 Tablespoons chopped cilantro, and the juice of 1/2 a lime.
You will SWEAR this stuff came from the restaurant.
Scoop some rice into bowls, followed by the hot soup, then top with fresh avocado slices, salsa, or sour cream, if you please!
Best-Ever Black Bean Soup with Cilantro-Lime Rice
Best-Ever Black Bean Soup with Cilantro-Lime Rice is a quick, hearty, and delicious gluten-free soup recipe. Fresh and flavorful.
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 small onion, minced
- 2 garlic cloves
- salt & pepper
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 2 cans seasoned black beans, drained but not rinsed
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 4-5 dashes green Tabasco sauce
- Toppings: sliced avocado, salsa, sour cream, cilantro
- For the Cilantro-Lime Rice:
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 Tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 3 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
- Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, then saute until soft, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 30 more seconds, stirring constantly. Add chili powder and cumin then saute for 30 more seconds.
- Add drained beans, water, and chicken broth, bring soup to a boil, then lower heat slightly and simmer for 15 minutes. Scoop 2 ladle-fulls of soup into a blender or food processor then blend until almost smooth. Alternatively use a hand-held immersion blender to process 1/3 of the beans in the soup pot. Add blended soup back into the pot then add hot sauce and stir to combine.
- For the Chipotle-Lime Rice: While soup is simmering, bring water, oil, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Add rice, place a lid on top, then turn heat down to medium-low and simmer until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir to fluff then add lime juice and chopped cilantro.
- To serve, scoop cooked rice into bottom of bowls then top with hot soup. Top with sliced avocado, salsa, sour cream, etc.

Yes. Yes. Yes! All the things! You know, you could totally make this dish vegetarian by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth in the soup, or by using all water, too. Either way it'd still be incredibly flavorful and satisfying.
I loved that this soup was a meal soup. Soup is probably my favorite food group, but doesn't usually satisfy Ben. The combo of hearty beans, and filling rice was a total winner with both of us though. Also, just between you and me – this soup and rice combo is KILLER with tortilla chip dippers. Try it!

Editor's Note: Travel writer Keith Bennett posted this recent story in the Denver RV Travel Examiner about RV travel in Colorado.
If you drive a motorhome with a towed vehicle and wish to enter Colorado state parks, you will have to pay the $8/day entrance fee on both "motorized" vehicles for a total of $16/day to get in. If you drive a vehicle with a trailer or fifth-wheel in tow, you will only be charged $8/day. We were told this is the policy across all Colorado state parks.
This policy has upset many RVers who visit Colorado and has been an issue on Internet forums going back to 2007. Comments range from not staying in Colorado state parks to, as long as the money goes to the state parks, then it is OK. Most commenters were upset at the perceived unfairness between motorhomes with toads and the rest of the camping visitors.
We decided to check and see if anything has happened in the last two years to change this policy. We called the Denver administrative office at (303) 866-3437 and posed our question to determine the future of this policy. We were told that the State Parks Division has looked into this and "intends" to make some changes sometime in the future. The changes would be an ID pass for the motorhome and entrance pass for the toad.
When pressed as to the timing of a new policy, we were told that it has to go before the state legislature and that it would not happen until next session, at the earliest. That would be fall of 2009 or nothing for this year's season. The person went on to say that each park has its own manager and that if it was a real issue to plead ones case to the park manager for an exception. When asked if park managers have the authority to grant exception, the parks representative was very quick to back pedal and say, "I don't want to speak for park managers, but they are managing their park…it's worth asking, but if they are adhering strictly to the rules, any motorized vehicle does require a pass to be on the windshield. I'm just giving you the official word."
With the state's budget issues, as a result of the economy, I am not optimistic for a change in this revenue generator. On the other hand, these are challenging times for all of us and I would hope that groups like CTO (Colorado Tourism Office) would jump in and press the need to have "happy customers" when the competition for the tourism dollar has just gone way up.

Cold Brew Tea
Cold-brewing tea is a new and exciting way of preparing tea. In all teas there are naturally occurring compounds called catechins, these are responsible for the bitter taste in tea. At high water temperatures these compounds are extracted from the leaves and infused in the tea. Cold-brewing your tea with water at room temperature or lower leads a slow extraction of these catechins. Not only is the resulting tea infusion sweeter, but more aromatic with a smoother mouthfeel.
Cold Brew Recipe
In general, most teas can be cold-brewed. Try it out with the following recipe to make one liter of tea. If you would like to use this recipe for smaller portions - simply start with 4g of tea per 250 ml of water.
Step 1
Measure 10g of tea (3-4 teaspoons) into a P & T Large Cylinder Pot or an alternative brewing pot.
Step 2
Add 1L of cold water to the Large Cylinder Pot then place into the refrigerator. We recommend using filtered tap water or bottled still water for your cold brew. This goes in particular for delicate teas, such as greens, whites and floral black teas such as First Flush Darjeelings. This is due to hard water being rich in minerals which can coat the leaf and conceal the more finer aromatic notes of these teas.
Step 3
Instead of infusing your cold-brew in the refrigerator, you could infuse the tea at room temperature to reduce the infusion time by a couple of hours. Although the result is a cold-brew full of flavor, it is important to note that the colder the water and longer the extraction time will always lead a more smoother and delicate infusion.
Step 4
We recommend the following infusion times for cold-brews prepared with 10g of tea to 1L water.
Cold-brew at room temperature:
15 to 20 minutes are good for most teas
Cold-brew in the refrigerator:
Japanese greens: 2 - 4 hours
Other greens: 4-6 hours
Oolongs: 3-4 hours
Black teas: 6-8 hours
- White teas: 6-8 hours
Once the tea is infused, simply decant into a serving jug and enjoy. The tea leaves can be left inside the Cold-brew if you would like a stronger infusion.
Herbal tea cold-brews
Herbals are great for cold-brewing. Before infusing the herbal tea with cold water, we recommend giving the leaves a quick rinse with hot water.
Cold-brew add ons
Our Cylinder Pots and our Active Cold Brew Set are great tools to guide you into becoming a cold-brew tea gourmet.

I am trying to set glassfish up to create some java servlets.
I can navigate to the correct folder and if i enter asadmin everything is fine.
When i enter start-domain i get this error:
asadmin> start-domain
There is a process already using the admin port 4848 -- it probably is another instance of a GlassFish server.
Command start-domain failed.
How do i find out if there is another process running on port 4848 and how do i fix this problem if there is.

Thank goodness for these bites where I can complain on a variety of subjects almost every week. Occasionally I have lovely news as well. Let's see if I can find some.
I don't often (like never, obviously) receive invitations from the Canadian High Commission in London, but this week I had to make myself say 'no thanks' to them. But as Disney's Cinderella says, what could possibly be nice about a visit to Canada House? (Only all of it…)
Came across the programme for Book Week Scotland at the end of November. Can't go, even though I can be found north of the border that very week. So no Frank Cottrell Boyce. No Debi Gliori and no Steve Cole. Nobody.
Offspring are my reasons for travelling, and Son had some news this week, relating to the literal translation he did earlier this year. We are finally able to say it was Strindberg, for the Donmar at Trafalgar Studios. The Dance of Death. Will get back to you on that.
Before leaving Scotland, let me just mention the Grampian Children's Book Award 2013. Apart from Patrick Ness who is on every single shortlist these days, the shortlisted authors are Barry Hutchison, Cathy MacPhail, Mark Lowery, Dave Cousins and Annabel Pitcher. Tough competition.
South to Newcastle, where the good news is that Seven Stories can call themselves National Centre for Children's Books, as the only 'national' place in the Northeast. Well done to a special place!
Actually, I am coping with the happy business, after all. We'll finish with a decisive jump across the water to Ireland, where they have The Irish Book Awards. You can vote, but you might want to follow my example and only vote in categories (they have so many!) where you have read the books. Luckily I didn't have to choose between Declan Burke and Adrian McKinty. Not quite so lucky with Eoin Colfer and Derek Landy, though.
A witch can always flip a coin.

There is a lot of growth on this course with not many holes where you can see the basket from the tee. Fairways are very tight on some holes and are not forgiving with tightly grown undergrowth of vines and bushes that make it hard to punch out of forcing to throw over them or lose a stroke by hitting wood. Not a good course in the summer as the vegetation has leaves making finding discs almost impossible. Not a bad early spring, late fall and winter course.

With a circulation of 1,950,000 readers, Real Simple magazine is one of the fastest growing and most popular magazines in the nation.
In the November 2008 issue, editors took note of WarmlyYours electric radiant floor heating systems and featured our TempZone system for tile, stone and hardwood floor coverings.
Real Simple observed that "Radiant heat is more energy efficient than a typical forced-air system because the floor retains heat, so you can keep your thermostat at a lower level than usual". In addition to the cost effective advantages, the magazine also extolled the health benefits of electric radiant heat: "Radiant heat also improves indoor air quality because it doesn't blow dust particles around the way traditional heating systems do." Other applications include our Environ II systems for heating under carpet, laminate, and floating wood floors.

Tia Carrere has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, according to People.
The mag reported that the former "Wayne's World" beauty has split from Simon Wakelin, her husband of seven years.
The former couple reportedly has a prenup.
It's the second divorce for the actress, who was formerly married to producer Elie Samaha.
Carrere and Wakelin have a daughter, Bianca, 4, who the star is reportedly seeking sole physical custody of.
Instead of hiring a lawyer, Carrere is reportedly handling the attorney duties herself.

Department of Revenue News Release
July 26, 2012'Back-to-School' Savings Available in Missouri During Sales Tax Holiday
JEFFERSON CITY - August 3 marks the beginning of Missouri's 9th annual "Back-to-School" Sales Tax Holiday - a time for shoppers in Missouri to save money on computers, clothes and school supplies.
By state law, the sales tax holiday begins on the first Friday in August and continues through the following Sunday. This year, the three-day holiday begins at midnight on Friday, Aug. 3, and runs through Sunday, Aug. 5. During this time period, the state's 4.225 percent sales tax will not be assessed on certain purchases made in Missouri. Local governments can participate in the holiday and increase the savings for shoppers, or opt out of the holiday and maintain local tax revenue during the holiday.
"If you need a computer, school supplies or clothes, now would be a good time to begin planning to buy these items during the sales tax holiday," said Alana M. Barragán-Scott, director of the Missouri Department of Revenue. "Saving more than 4 percent is significant, especially on more expensive items like computers."
The Department has produced a short video that gives a general introduction to the holiday. It can be viewed at http://youtu.be/__sHrbZxFhc.
Missourians aren't the only ones who can save during the holiday.
"Out-of-state residents can save just as much as Missourians," Barragán-Scott said. "The key is that the purchase has to be made in Missouri between Aug. 3rd and 5th. I encourage our neighbors from Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma and the other border states to come to Missouri and save money on school supplies, clothes, personal computers and other items while they shop here."
The state sales tax will not be charged on the following items during the holiday:
*Clothing that does not have a value of more than $100. Eligible clothing includes standard items of apparel worn on or about the body, and includes footwear. It also includes material to make school uniforms or other school clothing. It does NOT include accessories such as watches, jewelry, handbags, handkerchiefs, umbrellas, scarves, ties, headbands and belt buckles.
*School supplies, not exceeding $50 per purchase, that are used in a standard classroom for educational purposes. School supplies include textbooks, notebooks, paper, pens, pencils, crayons, art supplies, rulers, book bags, backpacks, handheld calculators, chalk, maps and globes. School supplies do NOT include CD players, headphones, sporting equipment, portable telephones, copiers or other office equipment.
*Personal computers that don't cost more than $3,500 and computer peripheral devices that don't exceed $3,500. A personal computer can be a laptop, desktop or tower computer system which consists of a central processing unit, random access memory, a storage drive, display monitor, keyboard and other related devices. Peripheral devices include items such as a disk drive, memory module, CD drive, microphone, modem, motherboard, mouse, speakers, printer, scanner, sound card or video card. Computer software is considered a school supply and is free from sales tax if its value is less than $350.
Although anyone making qualified purchases does not have to be a student to benefit from the holiday, the sales tax exemption event is commonly referred to as the Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday because it occurs near the beginning of the traditional school year for most students.
Barragán-Scott also noted that while the state's temporary waiver of Missouri's sales tax will apply statewide, the savings for consumers will be higher in many Missouri cities and counties.
"When local governments and special taxing districts participate in the holiday, the savings can add up to 7 or 8 percent and even more," she said.
A total of 166 cities, 49 counties and 71 special districts have chosen not to participate in the holiday. A list of the local governments that have opted out of the holiday and the answers to frequently asked questions about the holiday can be accessed at http://dor.mo.gov/tax/business/sales/taxholiday/school/. Other questions can be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com or (573) 751-2836.

Add another three-week-old update on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's unheralded appearance at the Bonnaroo music festival earlier this month: he was reading a book called Chess Tactics for Champions while waiting for his panel.
For obvious reasons, our tipster requests that we keep him anonymous. He suggests that it may have been Abdul-Jabbar's reading material for the Port-A-Potty, but we can't confirm his speculation. The world may never know! (Unless you know, in which case, you should definitely email us about it.)

Leicester rams are also more in demand then ever for crossing with other breeds." — Encyclopedia Britanica, 1893

First, select the signs and symptoms of your skin
Your skin type is
Sensitive skin is prone to damage from environmental factors (wind, sun and cold weather). Your skin is often red and blotchy and allergy to cosmetics is common. Use fragrance-free facial washes and moisturisers and it's best to avoid skin exfoliants.
If your skin is sensitive, try to find out what your triggers are so you can avoid them. There are many possible reasons, but often it's in response to particular skin care products.
Your skin type is
Oiliness can change depending upon the time of year or the weather.
Your skin type is
Your skin is smooth and radiant because it reflects light evenly. Your complexion is balanced (not too oily or too dry), and you rarely have breakouts. You don't notice any changes in your skin throughout the day and can try many kinds of products without having a reaction. With no signs of oily or dry areas, the skin is soft and smooth with good elasticity and firmness. Your skin's pores are small to medium sized. It is best to use products that maintain hydration and water-based moisturisers.
No apparent oily or dry areas and skin appears balanced. It is the least problematic of all skin types. Your complexion is supple, healthy and clear with good circulation.
Normal skin can fluctuate between all the skin types, but won't do so radically or for an extended period of time. While it's the ideal skin type, it still requires regular care to keep skin and oil production in healthy unity.
Your skin type is
Acne-prone skin can tend toward the oily side, but is often a combination of all skin types. Sometimes referred to as combination skin, acne-prone skin can also be dry, sensitive or mature. The obvious factor of acne-prone skin is raised lesions appearing on or under the skin.
Though spots can be painful and irritating, it is important to be gentle with skin. Try not to pick or squeeze spots and let them heal on their own. A natural spot treatment and a selection of natural and organic products formulated with spot treating remedies will help. Be sure to pay close attention to your diet and any external factors that may trigger spots to appear.
Your skin type is
Your skin can crack, peel, or become itchy, irritated, or inflamed. If it's very dry, it can become rough and scaly, especially on the backs of your hands, arms, and legs.
Your skin type is
Your skin can be dry or normal in some areas and oily in others, such as the T-zone (nose, forehead, and chin). Many people have this type. Slightly different care in different areas maybe needed.
With a little tender loving care, it is possible to tame combination skin. The key to balancing oiliness and dryness is with gentle cleansers and regular exfoliating to remove dead skin cells and combat acne. Regular exfoliating could mean anywhere from daily to weekly, and it's best to let your skin decide. Water-based products are ideal.

Album Rating: 4.0I have the Autumn Aurora and Anti-Urban remasters coming in the mail. I think they said that Seasons of Mist were re-releasing their entire discography slowly and not all at once. That would make sense for a band like this seeing as I'm discovering how all of their stuff is amazing and needs a bit of time to really sink in. I will still buy Enstrangement despite peoples disappointment in the album.
This review is the definition of win
I have a ways to go with wording things in a clear manner. I still think my wording is a little awkward compared to yours, Crysis, Observer, Balls etc. Thanks though.
Album Rating: 3.5Everyone improves eventually, just a matter of time. But as for the re-releases, I saw Autumn Aurora in the store the other day and almost bought it but seeing how I'm OCD about getting originals I'll probably linger around ebay.
Album Rating: 4.0Good luck finding any of their originals for under 100$ hahahaha. The thing I like about Drudkh's remasters so far are that they don't overdo it with elaborate packaging and EXTRA BONUS SONGS DUG FROM THE ARCHIEVES OH YIPPIE! It's all done out of respect to give the fans what they want and nothing more.
Album Rating: 3.5I found an original of "Songs of Grief and Solitude" used in my record store for $16 hahahah
But yeah I shelled out close to $100 for my vinyl of Blood In Our Wells. More than I payed for my copy of Hvis Lyset Tar Oss.
Album Rating: 4.0You live in the metal capital of the world if you're finding Drudkh used in your record stores dude.
Album Rating: 3.5Same store where I found that Converge vinyl and my Burzum vinyls and my Immortal albums and.....
But yeah small record stores=win for finding rare stuff.
I'm sad because the small record store near me just closed, although last year i was lucky enough to find an original pressing of De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas at a record shop in Philly
Album Rating: 3.5I'm about 5 hours from Boston (the nearest big city) so next time I'm there I want to look around for some hole-in-the-wall record store to see if I can find anything really interesting.
You'll probably find some pretty awesome stuff. Theres just so much to be discovered
Wonderful album and good review.
I wish i had a small record store like that here. Closest we've got is an Fye. Although, i did find a used Solefald record there once, but that's about it.
I guess that's what i get for living in the south though...
Roman Saenko is a beast. Everything I've heard that he's a part of (drudkh and hate forest) is excellent.
Album Rating: 4.0The only hole-in-the-wall music store in London, Ontario is a place where they sell is vintage 70 and 80s punk records and that's all, which is boring ftmp. Plus, the guy told me straight-up that he hates metal and that I should get a life LOL.
Although, i did find a used Solefald record there once, but that's about it.
If that band wasn't so bad, I would say nice find hahahaha. Thanks though.
If that band wasn't so bad, I would say nice find hahahaha. Thanks though.
Yeah, it was the Black for Death album. I wasn't really impressed with it, except for the track with Garm was pretty good.

Turn the blender on, slowly increase the speed to the highest setting and blend until smooth, stopping the blender to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.

Blend the remaining tomatoes, cucumbers and bell pepper until smooth. Transfer to the bowl and season with pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.
Just before serving, transfer the soup to the blender. With the blender set on the lowest setting, slowly stream in the remaining 3 Tbs. olive oil and blend for 1 minute. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.

Can I add an exec line before that to execute a program first with a quick sleep inbetween?
Also how do I make the system run that script?

Don't hack into existing scripts if it is not necessary. That's the nice thing about upstart that you can put a script before something else without touching it.As you can see in my script I have also some sleeps etc. Actually I cleaned it up a bit and there was also a 'sleep 30s' in the post-start script to be sure that the adapters are up and running before mythtv-backend get's started. That will do the trick.

Transforming Space Into Place
If you live in an American city, you know the grid. Miles of straight-ahead road and rushing traffic, bordered, if you're lucky, by a thin strip of sidewalk. Encountering another human in the grid can be a rare thing; an actual conversation with a neighbor is nearly a thing of the past.
But Portland-based CityRepair has other ideas. "The city doesn't exit for the passage of automobiles," says founder Mark Lakeman. "It exists for people."
CityRepair advocates the reclaiming of public spaces—common areas like intersections, parkways, and sidewalks—where people can meet and talk with their neighbors.
In Portland, where City Repair does its work, the first response of city officials was a resounding, "No." But citizens, it turned out, liked the idea of owning their intersections and meeting their neighbors, and city government was largely won over. Now, the Village Building Convergence, one of CityRepair's projects, has planners, citizens, permaculture experts, gardeners, and builders coming together to rethink and reclaim their neighborhood public spaces.

The Local 4 Holiday Shopping Frenzy is a multi-media event for the entire week surrounding Thanksgiving. From your TV screen to your laptop computer to the smart phone in the palm of your hand, you can stay connected with our Tweet Team of shopping experts.
Team Leader Emily Hay of HayThereSocialMedia was tweeting shopping updates all morning on Black Friday and then stopped at the Local 4 Studios to talk to Local 4's Karen Drew on Live in the D. Hay was among the many Metro-Detroiters who hit the stores overnight.
"People were organized and they could find what they needed. And, it didn't seem that inventory ran out, but when it came time to check out, that's when you had to bring your patience," Hay told Local 4 viewers after noticing long checkout lines overnight.
Hay and her team have been tracking holiday bargains all week, and inviting you to be part of the Holiday Shopping Frenzy event.
For the past two years, about 10 women have been sharing the deals, discounts, and advice they have with thousands of Local 4 viewers. The women are all savvy shoppers and have built social media followings through their blogs and websites.
For example, Jackie Harper runs the site FreeIsMyLife.com. While Emily Hay was all about the overnight hours, Harper was more interested in sleeping later and avoiding the crowds. She hit the stores a little later on Black Friday, including the Target store at Northland Mall.
"I did tweet some of the door buster deals," said Harper, but she also noticed the store aisles and store shelves started to clear out as the morning turned into afternoon. "So, I did an Instagram picture of pretty much an empty aisle. So, people like me who like to shop at their leisure, I'm sure they're like, 'Yeah, let's go out to Northland!"
Harper says she also found good deals at the discount stores near the new Meijer in Detroit on 8 Mile and Woodward. She stopped at the Payless Shoes and the Radio Shack and says she racked up some big savings.
While the crowds will ride and fall this weekend, our expert shoppers say there are still plenty of reasons to follow #local4shopping all weekend long on Twitter.
"Actually Cyber Monday has already started, which is crazy! It actually started Thanksgiving Day," said Jackie Harper of FreeIsMyLife.com.
The Tweet Team can help you sort through the Black Friday and Cyber Monday clutter, with our experts sharing their guidance and all the other people out there telling you what kind of deals they see during the marathon shopping weekend.
"We all have inbox overload! Our emails are just saturated. So, a quick way to find out what stores have the best pricing online on Cyber Monday would be to check the hash tag," said Emily Hay of HayThereSocialMedia.
Perks and Precautions
The Local4Shopping hash tag can also pay off on Small Business Saturday. "A lot of small businesses are now embracing social media," said Hay. "It's the small business shopping experience. It's where you get a lot of extras like free hot chocolate and carriage rides."
While perks from retailers are fun, Hay has one word of caution: beware of spammers. She says one spammer sent her a tweet designed to look like it came from Best Buy. It was not from Best Buy. Hay says if the site doesn't have a lot of followers, or if the tweets sound awkward, then you might be looking at a spammer. Do not click on any suspicious links.
"Keep in mind, even though these retailers are talking to you, you'll have to do your homework and make sure it is the actual retailer," warned Emily Hay of HayThereSocialMedia.
So, keep following #local4shopping all weekend long and enjoy the frenzy yourself!

Salt overdose could help end malaria
Researchers in Australia have provided the final piece of a puzzle to develop a new anti-malarial drug, which targets the parasite that causes the disease and kills it with a salt overdose.
The drug, the first discovery in the fight against malaria in two decades, holds out fresh hope for conquering the disease, which claims hundreds of thousands of lives a year and is known for its evolving drug resistance.
The malaria parasite, carried to humans by mosquitoes, lives in red blood cells, which are full of salt. To survive, researchers knew it had to have a way of filtering salt out of its body.
"The parasite is quite leaky, it's letting salt in all the time. But that doesn't matter because it's got a very effective molecular salt pump that keeps pushing the salt out again," said Kiaran Kirk, director at the Research School of Biology at the Australian National University.
Research teams in the United States and Singapore had developed a drug that attacked the protein that makes up the salt pump, but it wasn't until the Australia National University researchers tested it that they confirmed it worked effectively.
"On the one hand, they had a brand new drug, they didn't know how it worked," Professor Kirk said.
"We knew a lot about salt and salt pumps, and it was clear their drug was knocking out our salt pump. That led us to work together."
The drug attacks the salt pump and disables it, causing the parasite to fill up with salt and die. Targeting such a basic function is crucial because malaria tends to evolve quickly, rendering other drugs ineffective.
Other drugs that combat malaria combine or package older drugs together or are altered chemically.
"This is actually the first drug for 20 years to be genuinely new," Professor Kirk said. "Targeting the pump protein is a structure that has never been used before to treat malaria."
The drug is undergoing clinical trials and it will be several years at least before it hits the market. The other two groups involved are the Novartis Institutes for Tropical Disease in Singapore and the Genomics Institute of the Novartis research Foundation.
Malaria infects more than 200 million people worldwide every year and kills about 600,000 of them - primarily children under the age of five in sub-Saharan Africa.
Experts say one of the most challenging features of this parasite is its ability to evolve and overcome anti-malarial drugs - a factor that is undermining global work towards eradicating the killer disease.

On To Miami
A reminder, the Phillies do not play tonight. On some of the early editions of the Phillies schedule we are listed for a 7:10 game in Miami tonight. That was before the NFL scheduled a Monday night game in Land-Shark Stadium.
So, there is a 4:10 double-header tomorrow with the second-place Marlins who trail the Phillies by 8 games with 14 to go in the regular season.
Different Pattern
In taking two of three in Atlanta, the Phillies followed a different pattern. In their five previous games, the starting pitcher went deep into games. Over the weekend, Happ and Martinez left early because of minor ailments and Lee was shut down after a 111-minute rain delay yesterday. Three starters: 10 total innings.
The thin bullpen took over and picked up two wins and a save. Good to see Clay Condrey back in action. Healthy relievers have become a premium for the Phillies. Brett Myers and Jack Taschner are the latest to not be available.
While there was one unearned run allowed by the bullpen in the three games, Brad yielded what I consider a tainted run. The runner on first base advanced to second on "defensive indifference" and scored on a two-out single. That has happened against Lidge more than once. Seems as if the baseball rules committee should consider looking into defensive indifference runs. Should such runs pad an ERA or not?
National TV
ESPN will carry Wednesday's game in Miami, subject to blackout rules in the Philly area.
Dusty Wathan and his Lakewood BlueClaws won the South Atlantic League Championship on Friday in Greenville, SC.
First-year centerfielder Anthony Gose hit .407 in six postseason games for Lakewood with 3 stolen bases, all coming Friday night.
BlueClaws will receive their championship rings during spring training next March in Clearwater.
