Brooke Folk, 68, was well into retirement, and looking for both a hobby and a path to some extra income.
He found both as a freelance writer for Fiverr, an online freelancer services site that pairs writers, musicians, business consultants, and other freelancers with paying clients. He started by selling custom short stories on the site for $5 a piece.
"That may not seem like a lot, but like any new business venture, there's an investment of time and resources to get things off the ground," Folk explains. "Now I'm a top-rated seller on the platform and earn about $10,000 a year selling my short stories, including longer stories that sell for $1,000 and more."
Folk is hardly the only retiree looking for an additional income stream in retirement.
Take Kurt O'Neill, a freelancer with the on-demand tax-filing app Taxfyle.
"I've always had a knack for numbers, even as a young kid," says O'Neill. "Perhaps unsurprisingly, I became a certified public accountant and have worked for traditional accounting firms for more than 20 years, serving as a CFO as well."
O'Neill says he's been passionate about delivering his clients a quality, no-stress service at a competitive price.
"So when I heard that Taxfyle was launching an on-demand tax filing app, it piqued my interest. I had never considered working in the gig economy, but signing up with Taxfyle was quick and painless."
Once he shared his credentials electronically, O'Neill immediately began looking for clients.
"Things were a little slow at first, but have undoubtedly picked up with time," he explains. "Now, I'm able to expand my practice and help people file their taxes from the comfort of my own home, even in my pajamas, with no need to drop off documents or travel to meet with clients. There's less legwork for both accountants and users, and the tax filing services are actually more affordable for users than using a traditional firm."
"I take pride in helping my clients get the most from their tax returns, and I don't think that will change with age," O'Neill says.
With 22% of Americans already participating in the so-called sharing economy, and 90 million Americans paying for sharing economy services like Uber, Airbnb, and other freelance services, there is plenty of room for a part-time sharing economy gig in retirement.
Become a tasker on a tasking platform.
Like Folk, you could offer up your skills on tasking platforms like TaskRabbit, Fiverr, Amazon Mechanical Turk, and Upwork.
Folk says starting a part-time business like this later in life may seem daunting to some retirees, but freelancing has helped him generate income to supplement his Social Security benefits without putting his savings at risk.
"Best of all, I'm able to work on my own terms," he says. "As a former small business owner, it was important for me to be my own boss in retirement…It's ultimately up to me if I want to work 30 hours in a week or five. My writing also allows me to explore a passion that I never thought I'd be able to pursue, let alone monetize."
You'll need to sign up for these sites and target specific "talent" areas to increase the odds of finding work.
Currently, freelance writing, translation, digital graphics, software, mobile app development, and Uber-like transportation skills are highest in demand.
Pay varies on these sites, from $5 to $100 or more per task, depending on client demand and your experience in getting the task or project completed on time.
Drive with a ride-sharing service.
Uber has changed the transportation game plan, and now there are a variety of ride-sharing services that anyone in retirement can drive for, including Lyft and Turo.
"This is a convenient way to earn some extra cash in retirement," says Glenn Carter, founder and blogger at the Casual Capitalist, a sharing economy blog. "It works because retirees have more time on their hands and already have the vehicles they can use to ferry people around. An added advantage is that they can work when they feel like it, unlike with being in employment where there are set hours."
To get started with Uber or Lyft, you must complete the driver application on Uber.com or on Lyft.com; get your car inspected by Uber or Lyft for no cost; and pass a background check (both companies look for DUI offenses, a criminal record, and/or a history of reckless driving.)
Rent out spaces in your home.
Many people in retirement have their own homes. Retirees can take advantage of that situation and rent out a room or their entire house through sites like Airbnb, VRBO, and HomeAway and make some extra cash. The advantage here is that it doesn't require much time, and they utilize resources that would otherwise go unused.
Walk and host pets.
Pet services like Rover and DogVacay are another area that someone in retirement can cash in on, says Carter. "Apart from having a good time, retirees also get the company of pets and earn some money providing a crucial service for busy professionals that need their pets taken care of while they work."
Whether it's dog walking, car driving, or freelance writing, there are plenty of nontraditional ways for retirees to earn some extra cash — and many are doing it.
MagnifyMoney is a price comparison and financial education website, founded by former bankers who use their knowledge of how the system works to help you save money.

Revision as of 08:46, 8 October 2006
Let me just start by saying MythTV rocks. I was keeping track of where I was at with Myth on my home wiki, but then figured I might as well share it here!
My Setup
Combined FE/BE.
- AMD S754 Athlon 64 3700+
- Gigabyte S754 GA-K8VM800M
- 1GB Ram
- 320GB Western Digital 7200rpm 8M Serial ATA HDD
Albatron FX5200LP 128M 8x Video Card with DVI output.
- Gigabyte FX5200 128M 8x Video Card with DVI output.
- DVICO FusionHDTV Hybrid Tuner
- DNTVLive LP Tuner
- DVICO FusionRemote
- BenQ PE8700 DLP Projector
- Ubuntu Dapper (upgraded from Breezy server install)
- Kernel 2.6.15-27-amd64-k8
- v4l-dvb-0.9 drivers patched to handle vendor/device codes being the same between 2 different devices!! (Many thanks to Chris Pascoe for getting the DVICO card going)
- NVidia amd64 version 8774
- lirc version 0.8.0 (Dapper upgrade changed device from
- Ratpoison window manager
- MythTV 0.20.x fixes branch
What's working for me
- Live TV/TV recording Free to air HD/SD (from Sydney, Australia). Both tuner's simultaneously.
- AC3 passthrough including 5,1 surround
- XMLTV grabber from the OZTivo site
- MythMusic
- MythGallery
- MythDVD using xine as an external player
- MythWeb on Jetty rather than apache
- Using irexec to restart Myth, including with a different Layout to switch between the Projector and TV
What's not
- XvMC not sure if this is an NVIDIA driver thing or 0.20 but bad stuttering and "audio buffering" messages in the logs
- The Gigabyte FX5200 card does not do PAL output properly, as it renders in B&W. Fortunately my TV autodetects NTSC colour.
- The Albatron FX5200 card has been fingered as the cause of my DVI problems on my projector. Apparently it freaks out a PCB component causing the EDID data to become corrupt. (1 day and counting, so far so good on the Gigabyte card).
What more do I want to do
- I'd like MythMusic to use MythGallery as a visualisation!
- More cleanup of MythGallery thumbnail code. (Thumbnail cache is unnecessary if EXIF thumbnails are available in the images themselves)
Useful config info
xorg.conf for PE8700 and TV-Out
ExactModeTimingsDVI is important for the projector. This is the main detail, the driver autodetects the connected display and will use the Projector (DFP) in preference to TV-Out.
Section "Device" Identifier "FX5200[0]" Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Screen 0 #Not sure of the effect of this Option "NvAGP" "3" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen[0]" Device "FX5200[0]" Monitor "Either" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x720" "720x576" "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Either" Option "DPMS" #Option "UseEDIDFreqs" "true" Option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "true" Option "RenderAccel" "true" #Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B" Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE" Option "TVOverScan" "0.5" EndSection
Because the projector still signals that it is "connected" during its 2 minute warm down phase I have a second ServerLayout that points to a Screen section that specifies
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "TV"
in case I am in a hurry to switch back to the TV.
.asoundrc For ALSA digital audio out
pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm "spdif" rate 48000 format S16_LE } }
/etc/inittab entry to auto login the mythtv user

#!/bin/bash pkill -t tty1 -u mythtv mythfrontend if [ $# -gt 0 ] ; then echo $1 > $HOME/.xlayout fi sleep 1 pkill -u mythtv irexec pkill -9 -t tty1 -u mythtv
the .lircrc file (buttons as per the DVICO remote, which I think are now standard in the lirc distribution)
## irexec # Bounce this tty begin button = power_onoff prog = irexec config = /home/mythtv/bin/ir_power_onoff.sh & end #Run myth-setup begin button = cpf prog = irexec config = /home/mythtv/bin/ir_myth_setup.sh & end #Bounce the tty, set the TV layout. begin button = tv_onoff prog = irexec config = /home/mythtv/bin/ir_power_onoff.sh TV-Only & end
0.19.x fixes info
- MythTV 0.19.x fixes branch (had to move
/usr/lib/libdts.ato compile)
- Xine external DVD/video player
- XvMC ( with Bob de-interlacing for HD channels. Have to manually turn it off for SD stuff).

Medievalia in Modern Times
There is a lot we owe to the Middle Ages. Though the Victorians dubbed the early Middle Ages as the "Dark Ages" because of an erroneous belief that there were no advances in science, literature, or art, these were far from "Dark" times. In fact, we continue to benefit and to use in our everyday life, that which was medieval.
Besides buttons and buttonholes, sundials, clocks, the printing press, and a host of other medieval things that we still use today, did anyone out there in the internet—yeah, I mean YOU—ever go to college? There is the familiar campus with its large quad area, perhaps grassy, surrounded by an arcade of arches and maybe even a bell tower. But this design that we know so well stems from the cloister, a monastery, where monks and nuns, sometimes the only ones in their town who could read and write, walked grounds almost identical to college campuses today. These became areas of learning (the word "college" goes back to the fourteenth century meaning a body of religious colleagues). Educated men could be clerks and they were considered part of the clerical class—religious without actually having to take vows. They sometimes wore their hair with the tonsure, that shaved bit at the crown of their heads. Eventually, all colleges and universities simply took up the same design. The bell tower also goes back to medieval beginnings when the bell was rung for the call to prayer. This was called the Divine Office or Liturgy of the Hours. Now it calls students to class. We have monks and nuns to thank (or shake a fist at, depending on your point of view) for giving us the modern concept of dividing up the day into hours.
Have you held the door open for someone? Showed someone some courtesy? The very word "courtesy" as well as "curtsy"-- when a woman gives that little bow--come down to us from the manners you would exhibit at court. And when you give up your seat in the subway for a woman and thereby proving chivalry is not dead, you have just shown some of the medieval knightly virtues of days past.
The term "chivalry" first referred to mounted men (a chevalier is French for knight) and then it came to mean a body of mounted men (the chivalry of the King of England, for example), and eventually a code and set of virtues attributed to a proper knight. Chivalry is not dead when people defend the weak and swear not to lie. But a knight's code took this to extremes and defended and often offended with a sword.
Chivalry aside, have you ever gotten a prescription for eyeglasses? Take a look at the paper form. See the letters on the far left that say O.D. and O.S.? Know what that stands for? Oculus Dexter and Oculus Sinister. That refers to your right and left lenses.
"Dexter" and "Sinister" are familiar medieval terms, especially if you were a herald, one of those guys who kept track of or designed the shields and blazons (what most people think of as coats of arms) for the nobility. "Dexter" is Latin for right side and "Sinister" is Old French for left. So those letters on your eyeglass prescription are referring to your right or left eye. In heraldry, it was the same. The left and right described is left and right as the bearer sees it, not from the view of the opponent.
But you can acquire a holdover of the coat of arms and badges of the past. They are called company logos, those little drawings and caricatures associated with a company name, like the little Templar knight for King Arthur Flour (which really doesn't make much sense when you think about it) or the Michelin Tire man.
All of these are remnants from days gone by, from architectural elements of gothic arches, to today's instantly recognizable image of the Golden Arches. Medievalia is everywhere.

Fascinating, Jeri! I also have switched to almond milk, BTW. My son's health teacher convinced him, and then he convinced us. :)

It tastes okay. Not great. Quick cereal and great for shakes. Milk has a lot of natural sugar and almond milk--the unsweetened kind--has none.
But I thought it was funny that everything old (really old) is new again.

Since I'm immersing myself in Medieval history, this post was really fun to read. Thanks for the "eye opener" on the glasses. I wonder if that's the underlying meaning of the Dexter character on TV? Is he doing the "right" thing, or is he "sinister?"

I know, right Bev? I think a lot of bad movies have dumbed down the public as to what was real and what was not in the Middle Ages and later, mixing up the eras into an incomprehensible mish-mash.

Loved the article, Jeri -- a lot of interesting information. And I agree that trying to pinpoint the post and ante quem of various things is not easy -- I found it hard enough even for as recently as the 19th century. I do not envy you trying for accuracy in Mediaeval times!
I am puzzled, though, by your statement that monks and nuns came up with the concept of dividing the day into hours. I'm sure you generalized from something more specific when you wrote that, because, as I'm sure you know, that concept actually predates Christianity by well over a millenium ... The ancient Greeks and Romans even had alarm clocks, and timers to limit the length of, erm, "business appointments", shall we say?, at brothels. These used specially rigged clepsydra (Greek for water clock; it means "water thief") -- and water clocks were around as far back as the fifteenth, even sixteenth, century BCE in Egypt.

Way back in some other century, when I was an art historian, I wrote my thesis on a medieval French monastery (or what survives of it). More than just colleges, they were self-sufficient communities, which raised, stored and prepared their own food, along with all the educational and religious functions. They were also, in some cases, heavily fortified against marauders. The place I studied (St. Aubin in Angers) had a huge, free-standing bell-tower that not only housed the bells, but provided a safe place to stash valuables--the entry was on the second story, and you could pull the ladder up if you were under attack.

Jeri, you skipped a step in the explanation of "chivalry." "Cheval" is French for "horse." And you can feel honored that Chester Campbell was moved to take the time to comment. He and his wife Sarah are here at Killer Nashville with me this weekend, and he was just given the Magnolia Award for extraordinary service to the Southeast chapter of MWA. Congrats, Chester!

Mario, I'm talking more about what came down to us as modern folks, and how the division of time was made accessible and ordinary to the man on the street. When the bells rang at certain times of the day, one might look up and think, "Hmm. It's Terse, about 9 am" as we know it and as they came to know it.

Ah, yes, that makes more sense, Jeri, thank you. I suspect that making sure people showed up in church for service on time was part and parcel of all this, indeed. ;-)

As he watched Nick Novak's kick fly through the uprights on Sunday, Philip Rivers jabbed his fist in front of him, smiled and, as he is prone to do, let out a holler.
His glee had finally been actualized.
Rivers and Co. have been having fun all summer running an offense that puts them in comfortable positions, making the most of what they have while minimizing what they don't have.
They feel empowered by knowledge and by the simplicity and flexibility of the quicker, shorter attack head coach Mike McCoy and offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt have installed and continued to evolve.
To validate that, they needed a victory.
"It gives you confidence going forward," center Nick Hardwick said.
Chargers at Eagles, 9/15/13
- Malcom Floyd released from hospital
- Mathews, Chargers move past another fumble
- Rivers puts 'fourth' best effort
- Chargers Report Card
- The Conversation: Get well, Malcom
- Chargers schedule, game snapshots
You can learn in defeat, often even more than you learn in victory. But moving the ball well for a portion of the game and then stumbling for various reasons can be a doubt-ridden world of difference from playing as they did on Sunday and having it bear the fruit of a win.
More than anything, perhaps, a successful finish to a game in which they gained 539 yards gives credence to the excitement Rivers has clearly felt and freely expressed for months.
Before he became a sometimes-tangled mess, Rivers flourished in Norv Turner's scheme. But Rivers is at home now.
In an offense similar to what he ran at North Carolina State and so far very different than what he did for six seasons under Turner, Rivers is connecting on shorter passes more often. He's dropping less, getting rid of the ball quicker. The Chargers are hurrying their huddles at times, not huddling other times. Rivers is getting to the line quickly, sometimes letting the clock run down, sometimes snapping pm short notice. As he surveys defenses, he's in charge, given the freedom to change calls like never before. He burned the Eagles multiple-look defense time and again Sunday, changing to combat their blitzes and exploit their coverage. The 539 yards by the Chargers was their most since 1985 and the second-most yards Philadelphia had allowed since 1970.
"Philip Rivers just seemed to know everything we were throwing at him," Eagles cornerback Cary Williams told reporters after the game. "He was calling things out. He caught us in bad situations. Used those matchups against us and was able to capitalize. He kind of recognized what we were doing to a degree. We weren't able to disguise the way we wanted to. He just found the matchups. Philip Rivers is a great quarterback."
What Rivers likes is what he sees in his own team.
"It's very flexible," Rivers said of the offense. "And I love our guys in it. I really like the position it puts our guys in. I really feel like when I look out there at Eddie (Royal), he's like, 'Yeah, what you want to get me next? I feel like they're really into it. They're digging it."
Royal is running routes all over and has already matched career high with five touchdowns through the season's first two games. Malcom Floyd's first catch Sunday came on a crossing route, something he joked earlier in the summer that he hadn't been sure he could run. Floyd has also remained Rivers' primary deep threat. Danny Woodhead is catching passes out of the backfield, almost as if it were drawn up that way. Woodhead touched the ball 17 times Sunday, tied with Mathews for most in the game.
The offensive line is loving the hurry-up for what it does to the defense, keeping them from substituting and tiring them.
Said Clary: "It's exhausting. But it's a lot of fun."

|Attention: DocWiki has reached EOL and will be decommissioned January 25, 2019.
Cisco Application Control Engine (ACE) Troubleshooting Guide -- Troubleshooting ACE Boot Issues
From DocWiki
This article describes how to troubleshoot basic ACE boot issues.
Understanding ROMMON Mode and the ACE Boot Configuration
You can control how the ACE performs its boot process through either the ACE configuration mode or ROM Monitor (ROMMON) mode. ROMMON is the ROM-resident code that starts executing at power up, reset, or when a fatal exception occurs.
Two user-configurable parameters determine how the ACE boots:
- Boot field in the configuration register (confreg)
- BOOT environment variable
The ACE enters ROMMON mode if it does not find a valid system image, if the Flash memory configuration is corrupted, or if the configuration register is set to enter ROMMON mode.
Setting the Boot Method from the Configuration Register
To change the configuration register settings and how the ACE boots from the CLI, use the following configuration mode command:
config-register value
The value argument-supported entries are as follows:
- 0—ACE boots to the ROMMON prompt. The ACE remains in ROMMON mode at startup.
- 1—ACE boots from the system image identified in the BOOT environment variable. If the ACE encounters an error or if the image is not valid, it will try the second image (if one is specified). If the second image also fails to boot, the ACE returns to ROMMON mode.
For example, to set configuration register to boot the system image identified in the BOOT environment variable, enter the following command:
ACE_module5/Admin(config)# config-register 1
Booting the ACE from the ROMMON Prompt
If you specify a value of 0 for the config-register command, this configuration register setting forces the ACE to enter the ROMMON mode upon a reload or power cycle of the ACE. The ACE remains in ROMMON mode until you identify the location of an image file to boot.
The ACE supports two methods of booting the module from the ROMMON prompt:
- To manually change the configuration register setting in ROMMON mode, use the confreg command followed by a value of 0 or 1.
- To change the boot characteristics using onscreen prompts, use the confreg command without a value.
To instruct the ACE to manually boot from a particular system image, use the confreg command and specify a configuration register value of 1. Identify the name of the system image file that the ACE uses to boot.
For example, to use the confreg command at the ROMMON prompt to instruct the ACE to boot from the c6ace-t1k9-mzg.3.0.0_A2_2_0.bin system image, enter the following command:
rommon 1 > confreg 1 rommon 2 > BOOT=disk0:c6ace-t1k9-mzg.3.0.0_A2_2_0.bin rommon 3 > sync
To instruct the ACE to automatically boot from the image specified in the BOOT variable, use the confreg command without specifying a configuration register value to launch the Configuration Summary menu-based utility. You can then instruct the ACE to boot from the system image identified in the BOOT environment variable. See the "Setting the BOOT Environment Variable" section.
For example, to use the confreg command to display the onscreen prompts for changing the boot characteristics of the ACE and change the configuration register to boot from an image on disk0:, enter the following command:
rommon 4 > confreg Configuration Summary (Virtual Configuration Register: 0x2000) enabled are: ignore system config info console baud: 9600 boot: the ROM monitor do you wish to change the configuration? y/n [n]: y disable "ignore system config info"? y/n [n]: change the boot characteristics? y/n [n]: y enter to boot: 0 = ROM Monitor 1 = boot file specified in BOOT variable [0]: 1 Configuration Summary (Virtual Configuration Register: 0x2001) enabled are: ignore system config info console baud: 9600 boot: the file specified in BOOT variable do you wish to change the configuration? y/n [n]: You must reset/power cycle for new config to take effect rommon 7 > dir disk0: Directory of disk0: 23951 31071143 -rw- c6ace-t1k9-mzg.A2_2_0.bin 2 74448896 -rw- TN-CONFIG 4546 32505856 -rw- TN-CERTKEY-STORAGE 6530 11534336 -rw- TN-LOGFILE 7234 11534336 -rw- TN-HOME 7938 209715200 -rw- TN-COREFILE 20738 1048576 -rw- lkcddump 22689 250 -rw- scripted_hm.txt 24584 30337516 -rw- c6ace-t1k9-mz.A2_1_1.bin 29540 1048640 -rw- ACE_FUR_BOOT_ROM.img.rel.2008Apr01_ver121 29605 1048640 -rw- ACE_BOOT_ROM.img.rel.2008Apr01_ver121 rommon 8 > BOOT=disk0:c6ace-t1k9-mzg.A2_2_0.bin variable name contains illegal (non-printable) characters rommon 9 > sync
Setting the BOOT Environment Variable
The BOOT environment variable specifies a list of image files from which the ACE can boot at startup. To set the BOOT environment variable, use the boot system image: command. The syntax of this command is as follows:
boot system image:image_name
The image_name argument specifies the name of the system image file. If the file does not exist (for example, if you entered the wrong filename), then the filename is appended to the bootstring, and the "Warning: File not found but still added in the bootstring" message appears. If the file does exist, but is not a valid image, the file is not added to the bootstring, and the "Warning: file found but it is not a valid boot image" message appears.
For example, to set the BOOT environment variable, enter the following command:
ACE_module5/Admin(config)# boot system image:c6ace-t1k9-mzg.3.0.0_A2_2.0.bin
Displaying the ACE Boot Configuration
To display the current BOOT environment variable and configuration register setting, use the show bootvar command in Exec mode. For example, to display the BOOT environment variable settings, enter the following command:
ACE_module5/Admin# show bootvar BOOT variable = "disk0:c6ace-t1k9-mzg.3.0.0_A2_2_0.bin" Configuration register is 0x1
Restarting the ACE
You can reload the ACE directly from its CLI or reboot it by using the supervisor engine CLI. You may need to reboot the ACE from the supervisor engine if you cannot reach the ACE through an external Telnet session or a console connection (for example, the ACE is remote).
Restarting the ACE from the ACE CLI
To reboot the ACE directly from its CLI and reload the configuration, use the reload command in Exec mode. The reload command reboots the ACE and performs a full power cycle of both the hardware and software. The reset process can take several minutes. Any open connections with the ACE are dropped after you enter the reload command.
Caution: Configuration changes that are not written to the Flash partition are lost after a reload. Before rebooting, enter the copy running-config startup-config command in Exec mode to store the current configuration in Flash memory. If you fail to save your configuration changes, the ACE reverts to its previous settings upon restarting.
When you enter the reload command, the ACE prompts you for confirmation and performs a cold restart of the ACE:
ACE_module5/Admin# reload This command will reboot the system Save configurations for all the contexts. Save? [yes/no]: [yes] Generating configuration.... running config of context Admin saved Perform system reload. [yes/no]: [yes]
Restarting the ACE from the Supervisor Engine
To restart the ACE from the supervisor engine CLI, use the hw-module command. The syntax of this command is as follows:
hw-module module mod_num reset
For example, to use the supervisor engine CLI to reset the ACE located in slot 5 of the chassis, enter the following command:
cat6k# hw-module module 5 reset Proceed with reload of module?[confirm] % reset issued for module 5
Establishing a Console Connection to the ACE
In case the ACE becomes unresponsive or you cannot boot the ACE using the reload command from the Admin context, you can establish a direct serial connection between your terminal (laptop) and the ACE by making a serial connection to the console port on the front of the ACE. The console port is an asynchronous RS-232 serial port with an RJ-45 connector. Any device connected to this port must be capable of asynchronous transmission. Connection requires a terminal configured as 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
|Only the Admin context is accessible through the console port; all other contexts can be reached through Telnet or SSH sessions.
After you connect the terminal to the console port, use any terminal communications application to access the ACE CLI. The following procedure uses HyperTerminal for Windows.
To access the ACE by using a direct serial connection, follow these steps:
1. Launch HyperTerminal. The Connection Description window appears.
2. Enter a name for your session in the Name field.
3. Click OK. The Connect To window appears.
4. From the drop-down list, select the COM port to which the device is connected.
5. Click OK. The Port Properties window appears.
6. Set the following port properties:
- Baud Rate = 9600
- Data Bits = 8
- Flow Control = none
- Parity = none
- Stop Bits = 1
7. Click OK to connect.
8. Press Enter to access the ACE login prompt.
switch login:
9. If the ACE does not find a valid software image on disk0: or if the ACE is configured to enter ROMMON mode upon booting up, the ROMMON prompt appears.
rommon 1>
Troubleshooting ACE Boot Problems
The ACE module receives power from the chassis back plane and boots up automatically when you insert the module into the chassis. If your ACE does not boot up when you insert it into the chassis or when you enter the reload Exec mode command from the Admin context, you cannot Telnet to the ACE or establish a session from the supervisor engine. In these cases, use the following steps to troubleshoot the issue and boot the ACE:
1. Log in to the Catalyst 6500 series switch or the Cisco 7600 series router and check the status of the ACE by entering the following command:
User Access Verification Password: cat6k>enable Password: cat6k# show module 5 Mod Ports Card Type Model Serial No. --- ----- -------------------------------------- ------------------ ----------- 5 1 Application Control Engine Module ACE10-6500-K9 SAD1031044S <------- Module is receiving power Mod MAC addresses Hw Fw Sw Status --- ---------------------------------- ------ ------------ ------------ ------- 5 0018.b9a6.9114 to 0018.b9a6.911b 1.1 Unknown Unknown Other <------- Firmware and software image status is Unknown Mod Online Diag Status ---- ------------------- 5 Unknown <------- Diagnostics status is Unknown
The first row of information is populated, so you know that the ACE is powered up. The firmware and software versions are Unknown and the Status is Other. At this point, you cannot session into the ACE from the supervisor engine.
2. Power cycle the ACE from the supervisor engine to attempt to boot the ACE by entering the following commands:
cat6k# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. cat6k(config)# no power enable module 5 cat6k(config)# power enable module 5
Wait long enough for the ACE to boot up. Try to Telnet or session to the ACE. If you still cannot Telnet or session to the ACE, continue with Step 3.
3. Establish a console connection to the ACE. For details about establishing a console connection to the ACE, see the "Establishing a Console Connection to the ACE" section.
rommon 1>
4. Check the ACE configuration register (confreg) by entering the following command:
rommon 2> confreg Configuration Summary (Virtual Configuration Register: 0x1) enabled are: console baud: 9600 boot: the file specified in BOOT variable
A value of 0x1 instructs the ACE to boot from the image in disk0:. A value 0x0 instructs the ACE to boot to the ROMMON prompt. If the image specified in the BOOT variable is not in disk0:, then the ACE boots to the ROMMON prompt as shown in this example issue.
5. Check the BOOT variable by entering the following command:
rommon 3> set PS1=rommon ! > RELOAD_REASON=reload command by admin BOOT=disk0:c6ace-t1k9-mz.3.0.0_A2_2_0.bin ARGV0=quiet ?=0
6. Ensure that the software image specified in the BOOT variable is present in disk0: by entering the following command:
rommon 4> dir disk0: 31071143 Dec 1 17:01:06 2008 c6ace-t1k9-mzg.A2_2_0.bin 250 Feb 8 20:04:44 2008 scripted_hm.txt 30337516 Jul 31 05:47:42 2008 c6ace-t1k9-mz.A2_1_3.bin 1048640 Aug 8 11:45:06 2008 ACE_FUR_BOOT_ROM.img.rel.2008Apr01_ver121 1048640 Aug 8 13:27:32 2008 ACE_BOOT_ROM.img.rel.2008Apr01_ver121 Usage for image: filesystem 506789888 bytes total used 517210112 bytes free 1024000000 total bytes
7. If the specified image is not in disk0:, then you can boot from another image in disk0: by entering the following command:
rommon 5> boot system disk0:image_name
8. If there is no image on the ACE disk0: to boot from, you can still boot from the supervisor engine. Copy the image to the supervisor engine's disk0: or disk1:, and then from the supervisor CLI, enter the following command:
cat6k(config)# boot device module slot_number disk[0 | 1]:image_name
The ACE boots and stops at the ROMMON prompt.
9. At the ROMMON prompt on the ACE console, enter the following command to boot the ACE from the Ethernet Out-of-Band Channel (EOBC) between the ACE and the Catalyst 6500 series switch or the Cisco 7600 series router:
rommon 6> boot eobc:
10. If the ACE is not local or you cannot establish a console connection for any other reason, use the following procedure to finish booting the ACE from the supervisor engine with the boot eobc: command:
cat6k# remote login switch Trying Switch ... Entering CONSOLE for Switch cat6k-sp# svclc console 5 Entering svclc ROMMON of slot 5 ... Type "end" to end the session. rommon 7> boot eobc:

"Alpha House," a new sitcom premiering Friday via Amazon, is the first fruit of the Amazon Studios pilot derby, which this spring gave ordinary citizens with Internet access a chance to rate and comment on a variety of pilots. The retailer-cum-streaming-service has set itself up alongside Netflix and Hulu as a New Force in Television (or "television") to contend with, and, on this evidence, to welcome.
Of the eight comedies Amazon offered for inspection (along with six children's shows), "Alpha House" was clearly the most likely to succeed. ("Betas," a Silicon Valley sitcom, will also become a series.) Written by "Doonesbury" cartoonist Garry Trudeau -- also Robert Altman's collaborator on the HBO political comedy "Tanner '88" -- it stars John Goodman as one of four Republican senators sharing a townhouse at variously close quarters. Its look and feel and language are pure HBO/Showtime, though the party specificity is the sort of thing liable to keep it off "regular" TV (and argue in the bargain for such alternative venues as these).
Still, notwithstanding real-world references (some remarkably current), its points are less about policies than politics, and less about politics than about character. (So it is with "Doonesbury," if you regard the long arc.) Indeed, on one level, it's just "The Odd Couple," doubled, a story of often exasperated mutual support. Trudeau's regard seems more affectionate than not.
Though each of the roomie senators -- also including actors Clark Johnson (the Smart One), Mark Consuelos (the Cute One) and Matt Malloy (the Possibly Gay and in Denial One, but definitely the Felix of the bunch) -- comes with his own matched set of personal baggage and ethical blind spots, each is also in his way likable good company. Lacking much in the way of ideology (or, in some cases, ideas), their cynicism plays, paradoxically, as practical and refreshing. White, black, white (possibly gay) and Latino, they also represent a diversity not at the moment associated with the Republican Party, but which looks good on it -- again, notwithstanding their comic faults.
Big and floppy and perennially fatigued, Goodman (who is especially good here) is a Southern senator and former basketball coach whose only agenda -- his wife's agenda, really, expressed on conference calls from back home -- is to stay a senator. ("Everybody in the state knows my record," he says. "Two undefeated seasons, 11 conference titles, two national championships.") Goodman has the historical star power here, but Johnson, from "The Wire," as the character who best takes the measure of his milieu (and likes to match make among congressional staffers, on the side) may be the series' center of gravity.
Not every element is equally successful -- jokes about Twitter and YouTube should probably not be written (or spoken) by anyone over the age of 30, although it's funny when Goodman substitutes "virile" for "viral" -- and there is something a little old-fashioned, too, about Malloy's character's apparent self-delusion (a married Mormon, he asserts his straightness, but he knows a Von Furstenberg from a handsaw) and Consuelo's Latin lover.
But it's an accomplished piece of work. And it gains heft from a number of impressive cameos, the first of which features Bill Murray, as the senators' soon-to-be-former roommate, cursing a blue streak, shaving, brushing his teeth and combing his hair -- simultaneously -- as agents of the Department of Justice arrive to cart him off to prison. (Soon Goodman will be wearing his grease-stained tie to work.) Cynthia Nixon appears as an across-the-aisle colleague, Wanda Sykes as an across-the-aisle next-door neighbor, and Stephen Colbert, as Stephen Colbert, wrestles.

Confused? Don??t be! Replica Hermes Handbags The only thing that is really important is: is an in-house manufactured movement better than those from 3rd party suppliers? The short and simple answer is: No, an in-house movement is not a quality seal or by definition worth the extra money.An in-house movement might make a watch manufacturer more interesting, as they can show they have the Replica Handbags knowledge and or craftsmanship

Ancient Italian rituals of divination required certain gestures, postures, instruments and personnel, and these can be analyzed and organized to show a complete vocabulary of iconography utilized to depict oracles and prophecies. The inquiry starts with themes shown in engravings on Etruscan mirrors, which were themselves used as instruments of prophecy and which show some of the most famous instances of purely Etruscan prophetic myth: the story of the prophet Cacu and the Vipenas Brothers, and the story of the child Tages, who sang out the principles of the Etrusca disciplina , which was then transmitted to all the Etruscans. What is surprising is that many of the motifs and themes found in Etruscan art of the fourth and third centuries BCE can be identified also in Roman representations. The famous Villa of the Mysteries at Pompeii has numerous prophetic motifs which long went unrecognized, but which, once identified, make a significant difference in the interpretation of the mytho-ritual depictions of the Mysteries.
This is the lecturer's on-going research and will include some consideration of new insights that divination was practiced in connection with human sacrifice by the Etruscans.

PushStartSelect: "If you didn't bother to watch the VGA's, you probably still saw some of the stunning trailers that came out of it. We got an awesome The Last of Us trailer, and of course a mysterious The Phantom Pain trailer. If you read our previous article we were one of the first to tell you that this game was actually Metal Gear in disguise. Well after watching the hints roll in and constantly watching the trailer over and over, we have an idea. Perhaps this game is for Vita!"
I seriously doubt that... Especially if it's MGS5. There's no way they'd have a game like that exclusive to the Vita. Unless it's like a cross play thing with PS3. Although yes, it does have a "V" in the title, which can indicate both Vita and Five. I love the Vita, and would love a major exclusive for it, but I want MGS5 to be console for sure.
It trailer was in game right?
ie: Not a ****ing chance
A ps vita is a hybrid between a ps2 and a ps3 so it would be downgraded but not by allot...
yeah, the trailer looked like a next gen title. highly doubt the Vita could render something looking that amazing. But it'll most likely be a Vita title scaled down to what it can handle.
It definitely did not look next-gen or like CGI and the worse part about it was the fire which looked quite poor to be honest.
The animations and lighting were great but to ACT as if it looked mind blowing is just silly.
MGS 5 = The story of Liquid and Frank Jaeger.
@morganfell - God I hope so! That would be amazing...
NO there is ***ing chance if you notice the number of polygons that every model uses in game is very low for ps3/x360 game ...maybe is in fox engine but even MGS4 has better quality in all aspects ...it
MGS:PW bombed on PSP, why would Kojima put effort on the Vita which is actually doing even worse than PSP, let alone the little base of gamers in that platform, delusional...
Peace walker was originally called MGS5, and it was for psp at the time of its release, so you never know.
Great. But THAT wasn't a handheld game.I'm not saying a Metal Gear Solid won't be on the Vita, a bunch will end up there eventually like the PSP. I'm saying THAT was not a handheld game.
Kojima ported over part of MGS4 to show off the graphical capabilities of the PSV at it's unveiling and it looked great. So why are you so adament THAT this isn't a handheld game (especially after Peacewalkers success on the PSP)
As much as I would like to believe it's PS VITA game, it's not possible judging from the graphics. It looks like a next gen console game to me.
Though the article is making some interesting points.
"So why are you so adament THAT this isn't a handheld game"
Because I have 20/20 vision and I've watched the trailer enough to know it`s not a Vita game. Show me ANYTHING on the Vita that comes close to this trailer in terms of visuals and I'll change my mind. Even something that is only in development. If this is for the PS Vita, It`s for the PS Vita 2 and this is releasing in 2016. But seriously, show me something.....
Based off the trailer shown, I'm having trouble believing that it is a Vita title... at least not an exclusive one. It might be PS360 with a PSV version done separately/scaled down. I really wish Kojima would just officially confirm/deny everything already.
'Because I have 20/20 vision and I've watched the trailer enough to know it`s not a Vita game. Show me ANYTHING on the Vita that comes close to this trailer in terms of visuals and I'll change my mind'
It's not the Vita's fault that 3rd rate developers like Nihilistic have access to dev kits....Sony Bend is one the few quality developers to have worked on the handheld & they got some impressive visuals out of it.
Kojima made Peacewalker look better than the vast majority of PS2 games on the compartively less powerful PSP, so it isn't unthinkable that he could get The Phantom Pain to run on a Vita.
That vid of MGS4 still doesn't make me think this is a Vita game.
So, let's end it at this... I hope this is a Vita game.
I doubt its a Vita game, but then again after rewatching the trailer I noticed that Snake' belly button wasnt up to the graphical level I would expect as compared to watch has been shown in the Ground Zeroes trailer...
And that some of the round objects, werent as smooth as the Ground Zeroes rounded objects as well...
Then again, it maybe a hallucination/dream from Ground Zeroes...
It sure would take a TON of people by surprise if it is a Vita title...
But then again, I doubt it...
Unless it is not intended to mean 5 at all. Just MGS V. As one other gamer on here said, Kojima has never used Roman numerals before..
The game is called Metal gear solid V: the phantom pain. The "V" isn't revering to a number or a console, it's a name. Listen to the end of the trailer.
lastly the game was running in 720p.
Willy.. That just made you look less intelligent than I'm willing to bet you are.
did you even bother to watch the end of the video, and checked 1280x720p shots your self?
that just made YOU look dumb.
You do know that most games are developed on PC right? Much easier to downscale games than upscale.
Fully aware of that, but the website doesn't say Vita. http://www.mobydickstudio.s...
Right click any of those shots and open them and they will expand to HD. and if you see the end of the video you will hear "V has come to" and then cuts off.
that's all i'm saying.
There's no reason why it can't be multiplatform. The Xbox 360, PS3 and Vita and even the 3DS got Metal Gear Collections. It's safe to say all these platforms will get more Metal Gear love in the future.
Metal Gear games are very technically demanding though, so I don't know how a Vita version would work. That Fox Engine must be a beast if it can be that diverse..
i agree, but the article doesnt say it will be exclusive to the vita. it just says that it could possibly take advantage of cross play because of the statements kojima has made in the past.
Perhaps its a PS3/Vita cross-buy/play/controller game with Transfarring. Sounds more plausible, but idk with Hideo Kojima you never really know, hehe.
MGS Peacewalker was officially, basically considered to be MGS5 until 'More' MGS games came to be. PW was also one of the largest of MGS games and to me, one of the best.
It being considered MGS5 yet being a PSP-exclusive for its time shows plenty enough to me. I have a Vita and I'd love for any Canon-related MGS game D: Especially of such scope as GZ or V. Though I 'DO' want to play any MGS game at Top-graphical level to revel in the Fox Engines' glory....
THAT was not a handheld game.
Some of it looks really poor for a console game. The only other excuse is this was still really early in development. Look at the lack of textures on everything, the poor models with edges, etc.... look at the pans when he grabs the table and knocks them over. Now compare that to Ground Zeroes, there is a huge difference.
Plus when Uncharted Golden Abyss is one of your launch titles, I don't see why people think this is so impossible. Kojima had MGS4 running on NGP/Vita at one point, and the only cost was slow frame rates. Why would he put all this hype into Vita, then wait over a year to announce anything for it?
Personally think he mixed it. Its Ground Zeroes for Vita and PS3/Xbox.
Rewatch this footage in HD. The graphics/textures look like something ud see on a suped up PC. I'm guessing its a PS4 launch title.
I can't even believe anyone has convinced themselves this is a Vita title.
I know the traile didn't show a handheld game but if it was for the Vita, the Vita would fly off shelves.
VITA needs it. PS3/Vita differently going on here.
I think that it would be awesome. It definitely wouldn't be exclusive though. I'd like to see MGS Ground Zeroes on the Vita though.
Only on PS-VITA in full 1080p
The footage shown was way too advanced to be on any handheld
Not really phones now have the capabilites of running games like this:
Lol those games looking like dirt compared to Phantom Pain. No handheld as of now could produce the quality that has been shown in this trailer.
You cant be serious.. comparing those shitty games to Phantom Pain v_v
I'm Not saying they look like phantom pain, but remember this IS ON A MOBILE phone, look how much the technology has advanced from this
Seriously...NO. The facial features alone give it away, not even mentioning the lighting. As a vita owner id love it, but its not going to happpen unless its scaled down.
Would be great .
But if u fallow jaokomi or whatever he calls himself
he said that he isn't interested in the vita because its not that great .
I hope he's wrong like his name :)
Where did you get that information from?
He's a fake twitter account. Everything he writes is for laughs. Can't belive you missed that....
All this Phantom Pain thing is surounded by a lot of lies and trolling. Kojima himself likes PS VITA a lot and his test projects proves that. That tweet was just another trolling joke
OK guys ..
He said that on his twitter ..
I don't know if he is a fake or not.
Just saying .
what a stupid article, it has been announced as a xbox360/ps3 title with no mention of pc and vita...
It was also announced as being a new IP called The Phantom Pain, developed by Moby Dick Studios that is runned by Joakim Mogren...
So shall we believe everything they announced?
joakim is an anagram of kojima, also i looked up his pic and its a bad photoshop of kojima with a hulk hogan tash.
@shaun mcwayne
I know that (by the way, that twitter account is fake, it isn't Kojima neither Joakim Mogren)
That's my point... that by now, we can't assume anything they told us is true
so ground zero, snake has both his arms, phantom pain (MGS5) he loses a arm and ends up in a hospital. and a huge fire whale eats helicopters.
Nothin new to mgs, I mean vamp himself took a sniper bullet to the head in part two after running on water then takes another shot in the same spot in part 4 and still caught his cell phone before it hit the ground. So what's so bad about a missing hand? he prolly called ocelot's doctor to fix him up.
Note: been replaying mgs4 for the trophies, so vamp is on the mind... ( replaying also shows me how far ahead that game is... It still looks better than most new games.... I can't deny they have the talent to put phantom on the vita just looking at mgs4 is proof of that)
They actually showed off a tech demo of MGS4 running in its entirety on the Vita, and they said they were able to do it in only a week. Imagine what they could do with a couple years, they could definitely make this work.
"Big Boss" please.. we dont want to confuse the kids now, do we? ;)
EDIT: agreed btw
No Ground Zeroes and Phantom PAin are the same game for PS3
But MGS V is vita V means Vita.Rome numbers never used in MGS games since the beginning. Vita needs games especially MGS to sell lots of Vita's.
The End, you'll see
i think you are into something. I cant believe that ive never noticed that
If Vita can support graphics better than PS3 then i would be surprise but i seriously doubt this is a Vita title, what we saw was already confirmed to be on 360 and PS3 i think.
Why does this site claim the screens released were at Vita native resolution when they are 1,280px × 720px?
There were some images released almost in the Vitas resolution, but with like a 5 vertical pixel difference.
Pictures were changed into ones wih higher res later
Pictures were changed into ones with higher res later
It isn't a PSV title, but a PSV MGS would be sweet!
we didn't see MGS V yet, Kojima will announce it in e3 2013, it's just a letters nothing more.
I could see this maybe being ported to Vita, but they would never make it a Vita exclusive, not with such a small install base of Vita owners, and the fact that all other numbered Metal Gears were console releases.

Don't these look so delicious? I love Spanakopita, Greek Spinach Pie, and I always order it at any Greek restaurant I am fortunate enough to visit. It has always been a favorite of mine and I remember having it as a child when I visited Greektown in Detroit with my mom. No visit to Greektown (or any Greek restaurant) is complete without Spanakopita and Saganaki -- Opa!!
adapted from Tessa Kiros -- Food From Many Greek Kitchens
changes in italics
7 ounces feta, coarsely shredded (crumbled is what I used)
2 eggs (I dropped this down to 1 egg to hold it all together, I don't like when it gets too eggy)
freshly grated nutmeg
freshly ground black pepper
phyllo pastry / dough (this recipe yeilded 1/2 roll, phyllo here is packaged with two individually packaged rolls per frozen box, next time I would double all of the ingredients and make two pans worth to use up the whole opened roll of phyllo) 27 sheets cut to 9 by 10 inches
olive oil, for brushing
Bake for about 30 minutes (I baked mine 35 for optimum golden browning) or until golden. Cool a dash before serving, as these are best eaten warm. We thought they were great cooled a little too, I even like them just slightly warm.
I thought these were wonderful, one of my favorite Tessa Kiros recipes for sure! I love, love, love the rolled shape and wonder why I hadn't thought of that before. They would be perfect for a Greek dinner or appetizer party. Not that I know I can make two pans worth with one roll of phyllo dough this will help immensley with planning and not wasting phyllo dough! Picky husband does not like spinach and my six year old son did not want to try these, but my daughter and my youngest (my baking helper) had one and liked them even though I know the spinach is a tough sell. Thank goodness they are feta fans and the enjoyed the feta flavor. I will be making this again for sure and if you like spanakopita, or even spinach and feta, give these a try as soon as possible!

Difference between revisions of "North China"
Revision as of 10:46, 8 August 2012
Northern Central Region of China.
Other destinations
The itineraries Along the Yellow River and Along the Grand Canal cover some routes through the region.
This is one of the areas where Chinese civilisation first developed, along the Yellow River.
As anywhere in China, Mandarin is the lingua franca; nearly everyone can speak it. The Mandarin spoken in this region, especially around Beijing, is the standard dialect. Inner Mongolia naturally has many speakers of Mongolian, but many of them speak Mandarin as well. Russian was fairly common as a second language in the Northeast during the Soviet Era and even before that. As elsewhere in China, English is not widespread but some people speak it quite well.
Get in
Get around
As elsewhere in China, there is an extensive rail network. Rail is the main means of inter-city travel for the Chinese themselves, and many visitors travel that way as well. The system now includes fast bullet trains on most major routes; unless your budget is very tight, these are the best way to go — fast, clean and comfortable.
All the major cities have airports with good domestic connections; some have international connections as well. See the individual city articles for details.
There is also an extensive highway network, much of it very good. Busses go almost anywhere, somewhat cheaper than the trains. See the China article for more. Driving yourself is also possible, but often problematic; see Driving in China.

'Our House': Saying goodbye to my childhood home
18 comments:
A beautifully evocative story symbolic of all your losses. For you it is now a house and a bunch of memories. I feel sure there will be a positive aura that will make it a home for it's new owners.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Pauleen,Delete
Thank you for your comments; they are much appreciated. I too believe in positive aura, and hope the new family knows much happiness in their home.
What a touching story.ReplyDelete
Regards, Jim (Hidden Genealogy Nuggets)Replies
Hello Jim,Delete
Thank you for your comment. Nice to hear from you.
Thank you for eloquently telling your story. The title caught my eye because I closed, yesterday, on the condominium that I called home for 15 years and that was my own first home. So many memories, as you say, grand and not so grand, but all our own. I will say, though, that all those memories will live on as long as we do, and if we share them with others in our families, they'll live on longer. 'Three times around'...that is an ancient concept, truly from the Old Days; it's remarkable that it lives on through you, and now in many others through your blog. What a lovely thing.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hello Laura,Delete
Thank you for your comments; they are much appreciated. To leave behind a loved home is such a difficult thing, but as you say we have our memories and we have the opportunity to share them. I hope your new home brings many happy times for you.
Beautifully written.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Judy,Delete
Thank you for your comment; it is much appreciated.
A beautifully written and touching story. One that really resounds with me as we sold our family home almost exactly a year ago. I can relate to everything you've written.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Michelle,Delete
Thank you for your comments; they are much appreciated. I'm glad to know that you can relate, and I'll bet you have lots of wonderful memories of your family home too.
Oh, Jennifer, I so identify with what you have said, as my sister and I just turned the key in the lock for the last time at our mother's home, too. There is so much more there to sense than the mere tangibles of the structure once called home.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Jacqi,Delete
Thanks for your comments; they are always much appreciated. So many of us share this sort of experience (or will come to know it) as we close up the homes in which our families once lived. It's nice to be part of this community of experience even though the connection begins with loss.

A very touching post, Jennifer. It reminded me of the day that my parents announced that they were selling the farm where they had lived for 38 years, and moving. I was so upset, but Dad kept saying "it's progress, you can't stop progress". Looking back, I guess he was right - we can't stop the cycle. My thoughts are with you. JoReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Jo,Delete
Thanks for your comments; they are always much appreciated. So true, what your dad said, no matter how much we want to, we cannot stop the passing of time.
Ah, Jennifer, you've written such a great post about the leaving of a house that was once home. Don't we always think it will go on being our home forever? I think it's so good that you wrote down some of your memories. Blessings to you.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Nancy,Delete
Thanks very much for your comments; they are always much appreciated. Sitting here this morning I think about go over to our house. I guess it can always remain mine in my memory.
Your reflections on departing from your childhood home are what I think we all aspire to achieve when we are trying to convey to others what these 'old' places mean to us. Great job! Tears in the eyes and full of inspiration. Thank you for sharing.ReplyDeleteReplies

A new teaser trailer for "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" reveals important details about the setting and gameplay options for the latest title in the blockbuster "Call of Duty" series.
The clip was posted online Tuesday night and has already attracted 1.4 million views on YouTube. It features a near-future scenario in which the U.S. military has developed technology that puts unmanned vehicles and robots on the front lines of battle. An enemy gains access to that technology and turns it against cities all over the world.
Developed by Treyarch and published by Activision, "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" will be released November 18. Its predecessor, 2010's "Call of Duty: Black Ops," is the best-selling video game ever in the United States, according to some estimates.
Mark Lamia, Treyarch studio head, said his developers did a lot of research to set the game in a plausible future. He said for its single-player campaign, the game will feature multiple plotlines and nonlinear gameplay in which a player's actions affect how the story unfolds.
Gameplay in the video shows a bombed-out Los Angeles, urban combat through city streets and ... horseback chases through the desert. It appears to mix futuristic, sci-fi themes with present-day elements.
Lamia also confirmed that zombies are returning to the game. "Our biggest, most ambitious zombies ever," he said.
He would not reveal anything about the game's multiplayer action. Lamia said more information on that will be released later.
The futuristic tone of the game seemed to polarize fans on the Internet. Some joked about whether Treyarch was making Anonymous, the real-life hacker group dedicated to promoting free flow of information, the game's main villain.
Twitter user @killyourfm said, "You know what? I'm BURNT OUT on shooters, especially Call of Duty. But that trailer got me very interested. Futuristic toys. Horses. Cool."
However, "Call of Duty Elite" forum user Oneqwkford laments, "This looks stupid! If I wanted to play a Si-fi game I would play Gears of War or Halo! I always get Very excited for a new CoD game but this one looks very Disappointing. I will not be buying this one!"
Many other gamers said they were waiting for more details on "Black Ops 2's" multiplayer action before making a decision about purchasing the game.

Sept. 22, 2005
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Engineers put on quite a spectacle against UMass Dartmouth at Jack Barry Field Thursday night. MIT provided an abundance of shots, 47 in all, en route to a 4-2 victory. Senior co-captain Deanna Lentz amassed thirteen shots of her own and recorded two goals and two assists as the Engineers racked up their fifth straight win, improving to 7-1 on the season.
From the get go, it was all MIT, but it was the Corsairs who managed to get on the board first. Seniors Robin Dziedzic and Lauren Mannarino hooked up at 14:03 for what ended in a nifty goal by Dziedzic. Four minutes later, the Engineers finally got one by UMass Dartmouth sophomore goalkeeper Elizabeth Fitzgerald when MIT senior Lauren Nowierski deflected home a shot by Lentz.
The shooting gallery continued for the Engineers throughout the half, but despite the onslaught, the Corsairs were able to grab the lead. UMass Dartmouth's leading scorers, sophomores Erin Langan and Caitlin DiCecca, connected on a pretty pass in front of the cage. DiCecca was falling down as she fed Langan for her sixth goal of the season. Miraculously, the Corsairs went into halftime with that same one goal lead. MIT drilled Fitzgerald with 22 shots in the first half, but she was not fazed, making 12 saves in the opening frame.
Entering the second half, MIT knew something had to give if they continued to pressure the Corsairs. At 38:52, the pressure paid off for the Engineers. Deanna Lentz capitalized on a quick feed from junior Anna Ayuso in front of the net to tie the game at two. Three minutes later, Lentz fired a shot that was deflected up high and found its way past Fitzgerald to put MIT in front for good. The goal was Lentz's second game-winner of the year.
Throughout the remainder of the game, the Engineers did not let up and continued to assault Fitzgerald with shots from all over the field. The Corsairs were hardly able to reach midfield for most of the half, and Ayuso tallied an insurance goal for MIT at 54:59. Lentz picked up the assist, completing a dominant 13 shot, six point performance. She now has 12 points on the season.
While the story of the game was certainly MIT's outburst for 47 shots and Lentz's show on offense, the play of UMass Dartmouth goalie Elizabeth Fitzgerald was nothing short of brilliant. She made 12 stops in the opening frame and gave her team a chance to steal the game. MIT's offense just proved to be too much in the second half. Fitzgerald finished with 23 saves in the loss, while Alexa Herman recorded just one stop in the victory.
The Engineers will look to continue to roll on Saturday when they host Babson College in their first conference game of the season. The game is set to begin at 1:00 p.m. at Jack Barry Field.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Katie Kauffman pushed home a rebound with 13:24 remaining to give the MIT field hockey team a 2-1 win over UMass-Dartmouth in its home opener on Jack Barry Field on Saturday afternoon. Kauffman's game-winner was the second of two unanswered scores by the Engineers, who outshot the visiting Corsairs, 23-12, and moved to 2-0 on the season.
Kameron Klauber started the Tech attack with just over 13 minutes to go, carrying the ball into the circle and testing Dartmouth goalkeeper, Casey Gallo, with a strong shot on net. Gallo was in great position to deny the initial attempt but the carom bounced to Kauffman, who was surrounded by a pair of defenders but managed to find the back of the net for the winning tally.
Eleanor Taylor opened the scoring for the visitors (0-1) nearly midway through the first period. Jacke Anderson threaded a pass to the sophomore forward, who was sitting on the right post and was able to deposit the ball into the open MIT net.
Jessica Oleinik scored the equalizer late in the half, deflecting Klauber's shot past Gallo to send the teams into the break even at one apiece.
Keri Dixon allowed just the one goal for MIT and only needed to make a pair of saves to earn the win. Gallo stopped 13 shots in the losing effort.
The Cardinal and Gray return to action on Tuesday, September 7, traveling to Lasell College for a 4:00 p.m. contest. UMass-Dartmouth will play at Clark University on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.

Piedmont (California)
Piedmont is in a small and wealthy city in Alameda County in the San Francisco Bay Area. Located in east of Emeryvile and Oakland and is two blocks from Piedmont Avenue in Oakland. By the Roaring Twenties, Piedmont was known as the "City of Millionaires" because there were more resident millionaires per square mile than in any city in the United States].
Get in[edit]
Piedmont can be reached by car, bus, bicycle, or on foot from other parts of the Bay Area.
The nearest BART (Bay Area rail system) stations are in Oakland: Rockridge and Macarthur. From these stations, it possible to walk into Piedmont or take a bus. The bus line that services the East Bay is AC Transit.[1]
Get around[edit]
Piedmont is a walkable city with tree-lined streets and views of Oakland, the Bay, and San Francisco. Although the city is walkable due to its small size, much of it is hilly, such Oakland Ave, a major street that cuts through the city. For this reason bicycling is only recommended for those who do not mind steep inclines.
Driving is an option in Piedmont.
Public transportation[edit]
AC Transit provides excellent bus service for Piedmont, including express buses to San Francisco for commuters and visitors, and local buses to downtown Oakland and to BART stations.
Most commuters to San Francisco's financial district take "casual carpool" in the morning: riders are picked up by drivers hoping to hop in the commuter lane and reduce the $6 toll across the Bay Bridge to $2.50. The trip is about 25 min. in the morning, and only slightly longer in the evening via AC express bus.
See[edit][add listing]
Do[edit][add listing]
Buy[edit][add listing]
Due to strict zoning regulations, Piedmont's businesses are limited and generally concentrated in the city center, across from Piedmont Park, and along Grand Avenue, near the border with Oakland. Shopping options are very limited, but Mulberry's, a general store that sells food items, is a popular stop for students and residents despite the relatively high prices.

Piedmont has no restaurants within city limits. However, Piedmont is located in the middle of four great restaurant and shopping districts in Oakland.
The Rockridge business district on College Avenue in Oakland caters primarily to young professionals who commute to the city from the Rockridge BART station. Zachary's Pizza, A16 Pizza, Noodle Theory, Barney's Burgers, Hudson Bay Coffee and Bittersweet Chocolate are the most popular restaraunts, among others.
The Piedmont Avenue business district in Oakland was built around the neighborhood of the Kaiser-Oakland hospital. It is easily walkable from lower Piedmont. Fenton's Ice Cream, featured in the movie UP, Barney's Burgers are the most popular restaurants, among others.
The Lakeshore Ave./Grand Ave. area just above Lake Merritt and on either side of the Grand Lake Theater.
The Montclair shopping district in Oakland also caters to professionals, though its restaurant scene is less attractive than the other three, which feature restaurants organized by many Chez Panisse alums. Crogan's,Flipper's Burgers,Pizza Rustica and Grille One Carvary as its most popular restaurants.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Sleep[edit][add listing]
Piedmont has no hostels or hotels. If one does not have acquaintances in the city, couchsurfing may be an option, but seeking accommodation in Oakland or another nearby city, such as Berkeley, is probably the best option.
Get out[edit]
From BART, which can be reached by AC 59 & 59A, you can either ride train or ride trains to connect to other transit for all over the Bay Area.

Three Uber customers were allegedly taken on the ride of their lives this week when their driver decided to flee from a taxi inspector and race through Washington, D.C., and Virginia.
"Was just kidnapped by an @uber driver in DC, held against my will, and involved in a high speed chase across state lines with police #Crazy," tweeted Ryan Simonetti, a New York businessman who was in town on business, according to the Washington Post.
The incident occurred when Simonetti and two colleagues ordered an Uber so they could head to Washington's Tysons Corner after finishing up a meeting near the city's Verizon Center. As they approached the car they saw a taxi inspector talking to their driver. They climbed in and the driver drove away from the inspector, who then hopped into his own car and began following.
That's when the Uber driver allegedly began driving like a wild man, running through a red light before racing down Interstate 395. The Uber driver said that if he stopped he could get a $2,000 fine from the inspector, Simonetti told the Post. At this point Simonetti and his colleagues demanded that the driver stop or let them out before they crashed.
"I physically tried to force his leg to hit the brake. I ripped off his pant leg. I said, 'Here's two options. You take this exit, or I'm going to knock the side of your head in,'" Simonetti told the Post.
The driver relented and pulled onto an exit ramp, letting the three passengers jump out, before turning around and driving the wrong way up the ramp.
San Francisco-based Uber said it had "deactivated" the driver and was working with authorities to investigate the incident.
Simonetti, a self-described die-hard Uber customer, said he hoped the company learned from the incident.
"The question is what the vetting process is for drivers," Simonetti told the Post. "As they get [bigger], how do you prevent stuff like that from happening? How do you screen crazy people out?"
The incident is an example of why ride-sharing companies should be held to the same regulations as taxi companies, said Dave Sutton, a spokesman for Who's Driving You, a public safety initiative about the risks of ridesharing started by the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Assn.
"As Uber begins to provide more and more rides, you'll see more and more things happening," Sutton told the Los Angeles Times. "This is the reason why oversight is required, and without it, you've got passengers at risk."
