We've all had powdery hot cocoa—watery, only vaguely chocolaty, and occasionally crunchy with undissolved marshmallow clumps. Still, cocoa was—and is—the best thing to stir into a mug on a winter afternoon.
Today's hot chocolate has come a long way from little packages with gritty marshmallows. From sipping chocolate flavored with secret Caribbean spices to house-roasted cocoa beans and celebrity truffle shops, America's best hot chocolate has gone gourmet.
We're hardly the first to revere this winter beverage. Hot cocoa was the sacred drink of choice for the 15th-century Aztec Empire: a bitter, peppery beverage that lacked selling power. But once it was transported back to Europe, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla quickly remedied the situation. Chocolate fever has gripped the Western world ever since.
Today this gourmet drink falls into two camps: hot cocoa, made from ground cocoa beans pressed to remove their butter; and hot chocolate, melted chocolate mixed with milk or cream.
Chicago's best hot chocolate is actually hot cocoa. Chef Rick Bayless's XOCO derives its name from the Aztec word "little sister," and the restaurant's bean-to-cup cocoa program sticks close to the drink's original incarnation. Bayless was inspired by his time at the Mayordomo Chocolate Factory in Oaxaca, Mexico, where visitors design their own cocoa recipe and then watch it being milled. At XOCO, cocoa beans are roasted and refined for less than three hours, a process that brings a bright, acidic property to the cocoa. When it's mixed with ancho chiles and served alongside a fried-dough churro, it's as authentic a cup of Mexican chocolate as you'll find north of the border.
But America's best hot chocolate isn't limited to big cities. And many small cafés, which don't have ready access to their own cocoa mill, prefer the European hot chocolate approach—melted chocolate bars blended with milk—inspired by time-honored recipes from across the pond. At The Little Nell in Aspen, the rich, Valrhona chocolate ganache recipe was inspired by the Demel café in Vienna. When dotted with house-made peppermint marshmallows, it's the perfect après-ski quencher.
Fortunately, you can find gourmet cocoa shops all over the country. Here's where to go for America's best hot chocolate.

Ready for the big game?
Larry Jewett
By now, the bulk of the sports news will be about football's big game, Super Bowl XLVII, which will be played this weekend in New Orleans. I'll bet the NHL is glad they have their season under way because they will be flying under the radar for a week or two.
The Super Bowl, which is officially known as Super Bowl XLVII, always coincides with "Know Your Roman Numerals Week."

California Department of Transportation
January 20, 2011
District 8, San Bernardino, CA
Contact: Irene Coyazo
Phone: 909-383-4646
Sacramento – Continuing the push to rebuild California's infrastructure and spur job growth, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) today allocated $1 billion to 107 transportation projects statewide, including $838 million from Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. The remaining allocations came from assorted state and federal transportation accounts.
"From one end of the state to the other, transportation projects are providing jobs and improving mobility for people and businesses in California," said Caltrans Director Cindy McKim.
Since its passage, $6.8 billion in Proposition 1B funding has been allocated by Caltrans and the CTC. Highlights of today's funding allocations include:
- Murietta, Riverside County - $39,200,000 to construct a third lane in each
direction from the 15/215 interchange to Scott Road. The purpose of this project
is to reduce congestion and improve safety.
- Riverside & Moreno Valley, Riverside County - $13, 833,000 to close a gap in carpool lanes on Interstate 215 from north of Eucalyptus Avenue to south of the Box Springs Road interchange and on State Route 60 from the 60/215 junction to west of the Day Street undercrossing. This project will allow commuters to travel all the way from Moreno Valley to Los Angeles along continuous carpool lanes.
- San Bernardino County – $2,000,000 to interconnect and synchronize approximately 500 traffic signals using primarily wireless methods.
- Riverside, Riverside County - $1,000,000 to add an auxiliary lane on eastbound State Route 91 from La Sierra Avenue to Tyler Street. The auxiliary lanes is expected to improve safety and reduce backups on the 91 during commute hours
- San Bernardino & Riverside Counties - $22.2 million to install rail collision avoidance technology along the Metrolink system in San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Survey: State teachers oppose carrying guns
HARTFORD -- Bridgeport teacher Gary Peluchette said the closest thing to a weapon in his home is a crème brulee torch.
He can't see educators carrying guns to school.
"This is not in the role of our profession," said Peluchette, who teaches a gifted program at Winthrop School. "We are there to educate, not to be police officers, who have a highly trained skill set."
Plenty of Peluchette's peers share his views.
Some 85 percent of teachers answering a Connecticut Education Association survey released Monday oppose allowing teachers to carry guns in school.
Nearly 9 in 10 support the ban of military-style, semi-automatic assault weapons and ammunition. Ninety-eight percent of respondents favor extending criminal and mental health background checks for all gun purchases.
The survey is the first the Connecticut Education Association has conducted on gun control. It comes a month after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that left six educators and 20 first-graders dead in Newtown.
Bob Greenberg, a teacher at Columbus School in Bridgeport, says allowing teachers to carry guns in school would get someone shot -- and probably not "the bad guy."
Greenberg said he favors stricter gun control and changes to the Second Amendment.
"We have rights, but we also have responsibilities," Greenberg said. "Everyone agrees that even though we have the right to bear arms, we don't have the right to have grenades and rocket launchers in our homes."
Mark Waxenberg, executive director of the CEA, said he expected teachers would favor measures for safer schools and stronger gun control. But he said he was surprised how overwhelmingly CEA members, even among those who own guns or have plenty of familiarity with them, would be against arming teachers.
Of the 18 percent of respondents who said they own guns, 77 percent said they were against plans to arm teachers in schools.
"Teachers have spoken loud and clear," Waxenberg said. "We want legislators to establish new and strengthened laws that protect the overall safety of children, schools and our communities, including common-sense gun laws and funding to address safety issues in public schools."
While 92 percent of teachers responding want school safety issues addressed and appear to favor the presence of school security, Waxenberg said the bigger issue is the accessibility of assault-type weapons to the public.
"Everything else is just medicine. There is a cure, and the Legislature has to examine whether they want that cure," Waxenberg said. "If (Newtown gunman) Adam Lanza had not had this arsenal of guns available to him, I am pretty confident that this tragedy would not have been as great."
The survey, which was conducted by telephone Jan. 19-21, reached out to a representative sample of 400 teachers among the 43,000 teachers CEA represents.
Heather Lorenz, an eighth-grade teacher at Turn of the River Middle School in Stamford, did not participate in the survey, but her answers would have made the percentages higher.
Lorenz said she is appalled at the idea of teachers carrying guns in school.
"I do favor stronger gun laws -- ones which would restrict the ease in which citizens obtain guns, the types of transactions, and restrict the types of guns available to those outside of law enforcement and the military," she said.

Github Documentation for PKP Contributors
The Public Knowledge Project uses Github to make several repositories available to interested parties who wish to contribute. The repositories are publicly accessible, but if you would like to contribute modifications or enhancements, you will need to configure your own copies of the official repositories. The typical life cycle of a contribution is this:
- Something is identified, which needs to be fixed, or contributed (in the case of a new feature or enhancement).
- The modifications are made to your own copy of our repositories, and tested to make sure that things work as they should.
- A request is issued to us, so that we then become aware of what you'd like to contribute.
- Someone from the PKP development team will review your work, and either merge it into our own repositories, or comment on your contribution and possibly suggest enhancements or minor modifications before it is accepted.
- Once accepted, the request is closed. The cycle can then begin again with a new code enhancement.
This document will attempt to outline the necessary steps in order to achieve the scenario described above.
All of the PKP repositories can be found from the organization page on Github, available at https://github.com/pkp
As you will see, each project (OJS, OMP, OCS, Harvester) is listed, with links to those individual repositories. In addition, there is a repository called "PKP-lib" which contains the shared library code used by all of the PKP software products. To obtain a working installation of any of the PKP products, you will need both the repository for the product and also the PKP-lib repository. The PKP-lib repository will be configured as a sub module. This document will explain how to do that.
Create your Github Account and fork the repositories
We shall use Open Journal Systems, as an example, in this document but the procedure is the same for any of the products. In order to create your own 'fork' of the official OJS repository, you will first need to register for a free Github account. Once you have registered and signed into your account, navigate to the repository you wish to fork. For the OJS repository, this would be https://github.com/pkp/ojs
In the top right of the screen, click the button labelled 'fork'. The process will take just a moment to run, and when it is completed, you will be redirected to the repository page for your own fork.
Repeat the same process for the PKP-lib repository, at https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib. You will need both repositories in order to run a working installation of any of the PKP software products.
Once you have done this, you should see two repositories listed on your Github home page.
Configure your local development environment
At this point, we will need to configure your local development environment to use these two forked repositories. This document assumes that you have access to a command line shell environment (e.g. a terminal window on Linux, or an application like iTerm under Mac OS X), which we shall be using for the rest of this exercise. You will need to be be familiar with a command line text editor and basic shell commands in order to get the most out of this document. For the remainder of this document, commands that are meant to be typed will be shown in a monospaced font, and preceded by a dollar sign ($). This dollar sign represents your command prompt and is not meant to be typed when you are reproducing the commands.
First, you will need the Git application for your development environment. Git is available for many different platforms. Please download and install the most suitable one: http://git-scm.com/downloads
Once Git is installed, you will need to configure it. There are two variables that should be set, in order to let Github correctly tag commits that you make to your own repositories. Open your terminal program and run the following two commands, replacing the necessary information with your own.
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name Here" $ git config --global user.email "firstname.lastname@example.com"
Clone the PKP Repositories
Once this is done, it is time to clone the main repository representing the project you wish to contribute to. You will need the URL to your repository. To get this URL, visit the home page for your cloned repository on the Github website and look on the right.
Click the icon next to the text field to copy the URL to your clipboard.
Return to your terminal window in your local development environment. Change to the directory that you wish to clone your repository in, and use the 'git clone' command to clone the repository, replacing 'your-username' with your Github username.
$ git clone firstname.lastname@example.com:your-username/ojs.git my-ojs-clone
The example above uses 'git@' URLs to clone the repositories, but these URLs do depend on having your command line environment configured to use SSH keys. Github supports several different styles of URLs, and if you encounter errors when running the above command, you should consult the informative help section on the Github website for further guidance, at https://help.github.com/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use.
If you wish to use 'git@' URLs and you'd like more information in configuring SSH keys, please read the SSH help section on the Github website.
The cloning process may take a few minutes to run, depending on the speed of your network connection. You will see something similar to the following output:
Cloning into 'my-ojs-clone'... remote: Counting objects: 192852, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (47019/47019), done. remote: Total 192852 (delta 135066), reused 179930 (delta 122572) Receiving objects: 100% (192852/192852), 49.85 MiB | 104 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (135066/135066), done. Checking out files: 100% (3152/3152), done.
Once the process completes, you will have a new directory called 'my-ojs-clone'. If you navigate into this directory, you will see that it contains all of the files contained in the Github repository.
$ cd my-ojs-clone/ $ ls cache controllers favicon.ico lib plugins robots.txt templates classes dbscripts index.php locale public rt tests config.TEMPLATE.inc.php docs js
Configure the PKP-lib Sub-module
We are almost ready to begin work. At this point, we must now configure the sub-module for the PKP-lib repository. In the top level directory of your newly cloned repository, there is a file called ".gitmodules". It is hidden by default, because its filename begins with a period. Open this file in your favorite text editor, for example (vi, emacs, vim, etc) so a change can be made.
The file contains information about the sub-modules associated with the main OJS repository. There will be an entry for a sub module called "lib/pkp". By default, the URL for this sub module is pointing at the main PKP-lib repository owned by the Public Knowledge Project developer team. You must change this URL so that it points to your own forked copy of PKP-lib.
url = email@example.com:pkp/pkp-lib.git
url = firstname.lastname@example.com:your-username/pkp-lib.git
Replacing "your-username" with your actual Github user name. When you are finished, save the file and exit your text editor. There may be other sub-modules listed in the .gitmodules file, and it is okay to leave those as they are.
Now, we must initialize the PKP-lib sub module. This is done with two commands, from the top of your cloned OJS repository.
$ git submodule init $ git submodule update
The second command may take a few minutes to finish running. When it is finished, we are ready to develop and contribute. In your base OJS directory, copy config.TEMPLATE.inc.php to config.inc.php. You can now continue the normal installation process described in docs/README from step 2 if you want to run the installation directly from your git checkout directory.
Contributing your work back to PKP
At this point, you are free to make changes to the code present in either of the two repositories that you have cloned into your local development environment. Since both of these repositories point to your own forks on Github, you can safely work knowing that your code will not affect the official repositories.
As you work, git provides several useful commands to track your progress. Since you are working off of your own forked repository, you can be relatively certain that there will be no upstream changes when you are ready to commit (unless you are sharing your repository with another collaborator). The typical lifecycle for a change may look like this:
Use the 'git status' command to see what files have been modified (or added) to a repository. Since you have two repositories (OJS and PKP-lib), this command will have to be run in both the OJS directory, and in the lib/pkp directory. Running this command may produce the following, if a single file has been changed.
$ git status # On branch master # Changes not staged for commit: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: .gitmodules # modified: templates/common/header.tpl no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
As you can see, there are two modified files. The first one, .gitmodules, is marked as modified because we had to make a change to it in order to point it to our correct sub-module. This can be ignored. The second file, "templates/common/header.tpl", contains a trivial modification. We can see this modification using the 'git diff' command.
$ git diff templates/common/header.tpl diff --git a/templates/common/header.tpl b/templates/common/header.tpl index 81c4330..3858836 100644 --- a/templates/common/header.tpl +++ b/templates/common/header.tpl @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ * Distributed under the GNU GPL v2. For full terms see the file docs/COPYING. * - * Common site header. + * This is a Modification by Me! *} {capture assign="deprecatedThemeStyles"}
Git will mark changed lines with either '+' or '-', to indicate whether they have been added or removed. It will also include some other lines around the changed ones to provide you with a bit of context. By default, git will not show changed lines in different colors, but if you would like this to be the case you can run the following command:
$ git config --global --add color.ui true
Committing your changes to your repository
If you are finished with your modifications at this point, you may commit them to your forked repository. Once they are committed, you may use Github's 'pull request' feature to let the PKP development team that you have modifications that you'd like them to review.
To commit your changes, use the 'git add' command.
$ git add templates/common/header.tpl
You may use wildcards or directory paths if you wish to add many files at once. Once this is done, confirm that things have been added by re-running the 'git status' command.
$ git status # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: templates/common/header.tpl
To commit your changes, use the 'git commit' command. This will commit your changes locally at first, and let you attach a message to this commit.
$ git commit -m "my initial commit" [master 4d4c132] my initial commit 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
At this point, your change is committed to your local (on your computer) repository, but does not exist on the Github website. You must now push your change to your remote repository.
$ git push Counting objects: 9, done. Delta compression using up to 2 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done. Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 448 bytes, done. Total 5 (delta 4), reused 0 (delta 0) To email@example.com:your-username/ojs.git f917f19..4d4c132 master -> master
The important part of the status message is in bold. It indicates that you have pushed your changes to your own fork of the OJS repository, to the master branch. At this point, if you view your forked repository on github, you will see the new commit.
Sending a Pull Request to PKP
At this point, the work is essentially finished. Had there also been changes made to the pkp-lib repository, the process would have been the same, except that the commands would have been run inside of the lib/pkp directory.
If you wish to submit your modifications, to PKP for review, you must now create a pull request. To do this, click on "pull requests" to the right of your forked repository page in Github.
This will load a new screen containing all of the pull requests for your project. Click the green "New Pull Request" button on the right to begin the process.
The next screen will contain detailed information about your current commit, and will include a link that can be clicked to initiate the request. Click the link.
At this point, you are finished. The PKP team will receive a notification that you have submitted a pull request. They will review your modifications, and possibly comment on your work, request small revisions, or merge it into the main PKP repositories outright.
Keeping your fork in sync with PKP
Github has become very good at automatically merging pull requests if it is possible. However, since you are not working in a vacuum and the PKP development team is continuing to contribute to the original fork, you may periodically want to pull any recent changes made to the official repositories into your own forked repository. This is done by creating a new 'remote' on your local development environment which is set up to point to the original PKP repository. You can then periodically fetch new commits from this remote and merge them into your local fork. Please be careful when doing this, since there may be occasions when changes made to the official repository will conflict with changes you have made to your own fork. An example of this would be when both repositories have changes made to the same file. Conflicts like this will need to be manually merged.
To set up a remote which tracks the official PKP repository, again using OJS as an example, please type the following command.
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/pkp/ojs.git
You can then verify that this remote is now set up by running:
$ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/your_username/ojs.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/your_username/ojs.git (push) upstream https://github.com/pkp/ojs.git (fetch)
This indicates that there are two remotes, one called origin and the other called upstream. The former is your own fork since it points to your own account on Github. The latter, which only has fetch access, points to PKP's OJS repository.
To sync changes made to the official repository into your own fork, you must first fetch the upstream repository with:
$ git fetch upstream
Which will generate output similar to the following:
remote: Counting objects: 75, done. # remote: Compressing objects: 100% (53/53), done. # remote: Total 62 (delta 27), reused 44 (delta 9) # Unpacking objects: 100% (62/62), done. # From https://github.com/pkp/ojs # * [new branch] master -> upstream/master
Please note that the command has fetched content from the official PKP repository, not your own, and has stored the content in a new branch called 'upstream/master'.
Merging any new changes into your own fork is a two step process. First, we must change to the 'master' branch of your own fork:
$ git checkout master
And then we must merge in changes from the 'upstream/master' branch:
$ git merge upstream/master
Which should generate output similar to the following:
Updating a422352..5fdff0f # Fast-forward # README | 9 ------- # README.md | 7 ++++++ # 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)
It is possible that much more content will be displayed if your own fork is significantly out of date. If you have local changes that may affect the merge process, you can 'stash' them before doing the merge, by running the following command right after you change to your own master branch:
$ git stash
You may re-apply your changes to the updated fork by running the following command *after* the merge is complete:
$ git stash apply
Again, be aware that if the the merge has significantly changed content in the repository, your stashed changes may not re-apply cleanly. In such instances, git will provide you with suggestions for resolving these conflicts.

Architects living in Chestnut Hill have taken an active role in the Chestnut Hill Community Association, bringing their particular perspectives to making better what was already quite good. Despite the current downturn in the economy, they have helped turn the Hill into an attractive destination for homebuyers and new businesses. My hat is off to those many activist architects through the years who have been so dedicated to preserving and improving life on the Hill.
The topics I will be treating in this column are meant not just for readers in Chestnut Hill, but also for nearby neighbors in areas such Mt. Airy and Lafayette Hill. My column will likely not be a place where disputes are discussed regarding projects proposed for the Hill, nor will I be inclined to comment on the merits or failings of completed projects.
Instead, Archiyecture on the Hill will be a place where diverse issues related to design are presented in an informal conversational manner. I intend to discuss themes such as the pros and cons of traditional design versus innovation; things to consider when adding an addition; how to work with an architect; tips on interior design; how to deal with wet basements; what architects can do that contractors usually can't; the critical importance of programming, and unique buildings I've photographed around the world.
Each article will include an image of a building or landscape I photographed, beginning with this month's photograph of Frank Gehry's strikingly original Guggenheim Museum in the Basque town of Bilbao, Spain, a shot which some of you may have seen in my retrospective exhibit at the Nichols Berg Gallery about a month ago.
I visited the museum and took that picture in 1998 on a trip to Spain. I had seen photographs of the titanium, glass, and limestone structure in architectural magazines and regarded the building as a strikingly audacious and robust work of architectural sculpture.
I recall leaving our hotel well above the Nervion River on a bright October morning a year after the museum opened to the public. We stepped into the middle of a street that dropped away steeply toward our destination. The old stone houses and shops flanking the narrow street were mostly in shade. There below us at the end of the street was a brightly reflective, twisted fragment of shimmering metal that looked like a segment of a space ship that had crash-landed on the riverbank.
There was no trace of a right angle. It looked like a loosely crumpled piece of silver foil fallen from another world, a world of wild dreams. My heart raced and our pace quickened as my wife and I raced down the hill, dodging cars and other tourists.
The impact must have been similar to those people, 600 hundred years ago, who for the first time came upon a newly built Gothic cathedral, white and glowing in the summer sun of northern France, a tower of flying buttresses rising above the Lilliputian half-timbered houses in Rouen, Paris, or Chartres.
We thought we'd spend a few hours at the museum and then get on the road for another site elsewhere in Spain. But the beguiling, ever-changing views through our cameras' viewfinders kept us glued to Gehry's creation.
The dazzling, titanium-shingled, crude but smoothly sinuous assemblage of colliding planes and contrasting materials were meant for celluloid. My concerns about a building that would likely require countless millions of dollars of repairs in the coming decades were displaced by sheer awe and seduction.
I was generally not taken by the museum's interiors. In fact, a huge gallery that displayed Richard Serra steel sculptures actually repelled me, and the bathrooms were so ugly I had to flee as soon as I washed my hands.
Because we could not tear ourselves away from its magical, ever-changing curvilinear contours, we stayed the night and awoke to an overcast, sometimes-drizzling morning. Before leaving town we decided to cross a stunning footbridge designed by Santiago Calatrava and look at the building from the far bank.
What good fortune! The day before, the building was a dazzling object standing apart from it environs. But twelve hours later a moody gray sky, the reflective stillness of the Nervion in the foreground and the supine silver body of the Guggenheim fused into one integrated tableau that united the components of the composition into one memorable composition – a man-made object wedded to the watery elements of the earth, the sky, and the river.
Whether one likes all of Gehry's work or not, the Guggenheim presents a powerful case for removing one's blinders when it comes to design, and to dream with equal intensity about what could be, as well as what has already been done.
Future readers, welcome. I will look for your suggestions on topics of use and will look also to your guidance as to the value of matters I have chosen to write about.
Joel Levinson, a Chestnut Hill architect, photographer and author, recently had a retrospective show of his work at the Nichols Berg Gallery.

The basic concept of the Linux-VServer solution is to separate the user-space environment into distinct units (sometimes called Virtual Private Servers) in such a way that each VPS looks and feels like a real server to the processes contained within.
|Linux-VServer, VServer
|virtual server, vserver, guest system
|host system, host
# emerge vserver-sources
After the vserver-sources are installed it's time to configure them using
# cd /usr/src/linux-<KERNELVERSION>-vserver-<VSERVERVERSION> # make menuconfig Linux VServer --->
(Do not enable the legacy options)[ ] Enable Legacy Kernel API [ ] Enable Legacy Networking Kernel API (Read help text)[ ] Remap Source IP Address [*] Enable COW Immutable Link Breaking [ ] Enable Virtualized Guest Time [*] Enable Proc Security [*] Enable Hard CPU Limits [*] Avoid idle CPUs by skipping Time [*] Limit the IDLE task Persistent Inode Tagging (UID24/GID24) ---> [ ] Tag NFSD User Auth and Files [*] Enable Inode Tag Propagation [*] Honor Privacy Aspects of Guests [ ] VServer Debugging Code
File systems ---> <*> Reiserfs support [*] ReiserFS extended attributes
/dev/hdb1 /vservers reiserfs noatime,attrs 0 0
After you've built and installed the kernel, update your boot loader and finally reboot to see if the kernel boots correctly.
(Building the kernel)# make (Installing)# make modules_install # cp arch/<arch>/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-<KERNELVERSION>-vserver-<VSERVERVERSION> (Edit bootloader config file as required and)# reboot
To maintain your virtual servers you need the util-vserver package which contains all necessary programs and many useful features.
# emerge >=sys-cluster/util-vserver-0.30.212
You have to run the
# rc-update add vprocunhide default # /etc/init.d/vprocunhide start # rc-update add util-vserver default # /etc/init.d/util-vserver start
Since many hardware related commands are not available inside a virtual server, there has been a patched version of baselayout known as baselayout-vserver. However, since baselayout-2/openrc, all required changes have been integrated, eliminating the need for seperate vserver stages, profiles and baselayout. The only (temporary) drawback is that baselayout-2/openrc is still in testing (~arch) and there are no stages with baselayout-2/openrc available on the mirrors yet.
As soon as baselayout-2/openrc is stable you can use a precompiled stage3 from
one of
You have to choose a context ID for your vserver (dynamic context IDs are discouraged) as well as the necessary network device information (In this example eth0 is configured with 192.168.1.253/24 and the context ID is equivalent to the last two parts of the virtual servers IP).
For a long time now, plain init style was the only init style available for gentoo, i.e. a normal init process will be started inside the guest, just like on any common Unix system. However this approach has some drawbacks:
Therefore, many users have requested to reimplement the gentoo init style, which has been abandonned since it was a very hacky implementation and more or less worked by accident due to other modifications done to baselayout back then. However, as of util-vserver-0.30.212 the gentoo init style has been reimplemented in a concise manner and will become the default in the future.
# vserver myguest build \ --context 1253 \ --hostname gentoo \ --interface eth0:192.168.1.253/24 \ --initstyle gentoo \
(replace if needed)-m template -- \ -d gentoo \ -t /path/to/stage3-<arch>-<version>.tar.bz2
You should now be able to start and enter the vserver by using the commands below.
# vserver myguest start OpenRC 0.4.3 is starting up Gentoo Linux (x86_64) [VSERVER] Press I to enter interactive boot mode * /proc is already mounted, skipping * Setting hostname to myguest...

You can start certain guests during boot. Each guest can be assigned a MARK. Now everything you have to do is configure these MARKs in the guests configuration and add the approriate init scripts to the default runlevel.
(Do this for every guest you want to start)# mkdir -p /etc/vservers/myguest/apps/init # echo "default" > /etc/vservers/myguest/apps/init/mark
# rc-update add vservers.default default
The script
(Sync metadata for 'myguest')# vesync myguest (Sync metadata for all guests)# vesync --all (Sync 'myoverlay' for all guests)# vesync --all \ --overlay /usr/local/overlays/myoverlay \ --overlay-host rsync://rsync.myhost.com/myoverlay \ --overlay-only (emerge app-editors/vim in 'myguest')# vemerge myguest -- app-editors/vim -va
Gentoo guests can share packages to save compilation time. In order to use
shared packages, you have to create a central directory for packages on the
host. We will use
# mkdir -p /var/cache/vpackages # $EDITOR /etc/vservers/myguest/fstab
(Add this line at the end)/var/cache/vpackages /usr/portage/packages none bind,rw 0 0
Now you can use
(Pretend update for 'myguest')# vupdateworld myguest -- -vp (Update 'myguest' using binary packages)# vupdateworld myguest -- -k (Update all guests using binary packages)# vupdateworld --all -- -k
After a successful update you can easily update all configuration files with
(Update configuration files for 'myguest')# vdispatch-conf myguest (Update configuration files for all guests)# vdispatch-conf --all

Transmission Cooler BasicsPosted in How To: Transmission Drivetrain on March 1, 2012
Jeep transmissions love this time of year. Not only do they run cooler in the winter months, but crappy weather along with seasonal trail closures force many Jeeps into a state of hibernation. Sure, interruptions may come in the form of spur of the moment snow runs, or that pesky neighbor who refuses to plow and instead requests your assistance to free his stuck Honda Accord. Like a grizzly bear holed up in a cave, winter downtime can foster laziness from even the most industrious Jeeper. We are here to combat such neglect and inspire you to crank up the shop heater and put in the hours necessary to prep your rig for the imminent thaw of spring. Winter is the perfect time to tackle those little projects you put off during the summer months. Routine maintenance items such as changing out the transmission fluid and filter are a good start. However, if you want to make the most of your vehicle's hiatus, consider adding an auxiliary transmission cooler. When the ice cycles retreat, and open top weather returns, your Jeep will thank you.
It's said that 90 percent of transmission failures are caused by excessive heat. When ATF overheats, it oxidizes and breaks down rendering it ineffective. You can tell when this oxidation has occurred by inspecting the condition of the fluid. Bad fluid will appear dark brown and emit a noticeable burnt aroma. To keep ATF from cooking, the aftermarket has a plethora of transmission coolers available. Generally, they are rated by gross vehicle weight (GVW), typically ranging from 12,000lb GVW all the way up to 30,000lb-plus GVW for heavy-duty applications. For slow-moving Jeeps that don't get a ton of airflow, we recommend a cooler in the 18,000lb GVW range. This size will provide enough surface area to keep ATF cool at rock crawling pace, yet still fit between the grille and existing cooling stack.
To plumb an auxiliary transmission cooler you need to first identify which of the hard steel lines coming from the transmission is the hot side. The hot side delivers hot ATF to the front of the vehicle. The easiest way to quickly identify the hot side is to scan each with a hand-held laser temperature probe. Of course the vehicle must be driven first to get the ATF up to normal operating temperature. If you are a cheapskate like some members of the Jp staff, you can also drive the vehicle for a short bit and stop to crawl under the rig and physically feel which line is hotter. One should be warm and the other should be cool after a one-minute drive. Once you have established which line is hotter of the two, you can map out your plumbing accordingly. If the vehicle has an existing cooler in the lower portion of the radiator, make your tie-in where the ATF exits the radiator. You want to further cool the fluid after the factory setup. If you are starting from scratch on a vehicle that doesn't have an existing cooler, it's best to ask a local transmission shop for advice as line orientation varies significantly from vehicle-to-vehicle. When routing additional lines, it's a good idea to secure hoses away from anything hot or that might move. High heat from exhaust will counteract the cooler's effort, and a moving part (like a fan or pitman arm) could potentially damage the lines. A transmission cooler can also be used for cooling power steering fluid, but with steering systems the cooler should be plumbed between the steering box and the fluid reservoir on the return side of the system.

Description / Synopsis
ENVision is a programme by SEC that aims to engage participants ranging from NGOs, schools, youths, private and public sectors, to the community, to provide their feedback and vision for the future of Singapores environment. Stakeholder consultations were held from February to April 2014. The inputs gathered from participants were put together into a Visioning Statement (http://www.sec.org.sg/ENVision/files/ENVision_Statement_19_May_2014.pdf) Since then, SEC has been spreading awareness about Singapores environmental challenges by leveraging on several platforms (social media, print and online) using the key values of Care, Ownership and Responsibility identified during the dialogue sessions to guide its approach. A series of videos and ads were launched across multiple media channels in October and November 2014, to spread awareness to the masses about the current environmental challenges Singapore faces. The themes focused on food waste, waste management, air quality and water conservation. At the end of the day, this is about getting people to care for the environment and take greater ownership and responsibility for our future.
ENVision started as a ground-up movement to forge a common vision for the future environment that we want Singapore to have over the longer term. The vision must reflect a set of shared values that Singaporeans support, which in turn can shape societal norms. The SEC responded to the call made by the Minister for the Environment and Water Resources at the Singapore Sustainability Symposium held on 8 Jan 2014 to organise such a visioning exercise that can unite Singaporeans from all walks of life who care about the environment and galvanise action by all stakeholders, including the government.
Objectives: To continue the outreach and communication post-Envision dialogues To reach out to as wide an audience through the mass media and various communication channels To get Singaporeans talking and discussing environmental challenges using thought provoking images and humour To bring the audience to channel their actions towards building the hope for the future of Singapores environment Key steps: A new master creative using simple thought-provoking questions to illustrate issues on Singapores environmental issues food waste, waste management, air quality and water conservation Using humour and relatable situations to Singaporeans to illustrate the above issues in 4 short 60-sec videos Leveraging on multiple media platforms to spread the ENVision messages through ad banners and videos.
The four-part video series was published on SECs social media platform. Facebook, in particular, received viewership and feedback in abundance partially highlighting the outreach that the SEC video campaign has achieved so far. To date, SEC has received 421 new Likes on our Facebook page and over 57,000 combined views of the videos. SEC will be conducting a series of poster and video design competitions to gather participation from the people in Singapore about the environmental issues highlighted through the ENVision campaign. The competitions will encourage participants to share their inputs about what they perceive in the hope of Singapores future environment and the actions that they can take to work towards it. SEC hopes to use this bottom-up approach exercise as a follow-up to understand the effectiveness of the campaign.
SEC did not work with a PR / communications agency for the campaign.

Chris over at Medical Software Advice reports that Apple reps have been spotted at Los Angeles' Cedar-Sinai hospital, probing physicians about how a tablet (Apple's iPad) could be used in a hospital setting. While I like the idea, I'm pretty skeptical that we'll see the iPad much in large hospital environments. We will see.
Chris also has an interesting survey on what features health care professionals would like/need in a tablet device. If you are a health care provider, click the link and make your voice heard. I'll be interested to see the results.

The Delaware Library Association Conference,
"Great Libraries: It Takes More than Luck," will take
place on Friday the 13th, May 2005, at the Dover
Sheraton, offers something for everyone.
"The Conference Committee did a terrific job," states
Hilary Welliver, DLA Vice-President/President-
Elect. "We have everything from Harry Potter to the
U.S. Patriot Act!"
The programming for the annual event is diverse.
Keynote Speaker, Arthur Levine, is the editor of the
tremendously popular "Harry Potter" series.
Panels include fiction, nonfiction, and audiobook
presentations. Workshops and Poster Sessions
include these topics: volunteers, grants, internet
literacy, U.S. Patriot Act, readers advisory, copyright,
blogging, and gender parity. Several authors and
illustrators will also be taking a bow. Awards and
scholarships will be presented.

How time flies and we are
already into spring with our
annual conference upon us! It
has been a year of exciting
changes, with the new Board
under taking our first annual
audit and addressing the transition for several key
interim positions due to the needs of our volunteer
Several of our divisions have also experienced mid-year
transitions and our conference committee has
done a superb job, under the able guidance of Hilary
Welliver, President elect. They worked through those
position transitions and have provided us with a
spectacular conference - Great Libraries -- It Takes
More Than Luck!
The Board has put in place many of the
recommendations from the annual audit. It goes
without saying that the first year of any audit can be
quite daunting and kudos go to our able treasurer,
Michael Gutierrez and our membership chair, Betty
Maute for devoting all the time required to establish
the documentation and benchmark basis that will
assure smooth yearly audits for DLA in the future.
We are in the process of exploring bonding insurance
for our money handlers and the board will address
that recommendation at the next board meeting.
It has been a delight and pleasure to work with you
over the past year and represent our organization.
My DLA tenure has evolved from that of a
paraprofessional interlibrary loan officer to a state
certified school library media specialist to now an
academic librarian. Every step of the way has been

The Laurel Library
Growing With Our Community
Ninety-five years ago the New Century Club formed the first Laurel Library. In 1951 Walter Carpenter, retired CEO of DuPont Corp., underwrote the cost to build the current Library to honor his wife, Mary Wootten Carpenter, a Laurel native. In September, 2004 the Library broke ground on their $3.5 million renovation/expansion project that will provide: a Story Time and Youth Area, a Delaware Room and a Community Room (something the Library and the Town on Laurel have never had). After closing to the public for five weeks, the Laurel Library reopened in a temporary facility that was donated rent free by the Good Samaritan Organization. The Library expects to move back into their renovated/expanded facility in the fall of 2005.

To help commemorate Dr. Seuss' 101st birthday and Read Across America Day, two members of Delaware's Department of Education (DOE) loaded up a van filled with balloons, book baskets, oversized congratulatory certificates and a healthy dose of enthusiasm and headed south. Driving through Sussex County, then up through Kent and New Castle counties, three elementary, three middle and three high schools were taken by complete surprise and rewarded for their efforts in the "Delaware Reads about…" literacy program.
In a scene taken from the Reader's Digest "Prize Patrol," principals, teachers and students were speechless and stunned when Denise Allen, Education Associate, Library/Media and Technology, and Lori Duerr, Education Specialist, Inclusive School Initiative, Positive Behavior Support, pulled up in a van decorated with banners, posters and balloons, jumped out and started shouting, "You've won, you've won!"
"Delaware Reads about …" literacy program is a statewide partnership between the Delaware Division of Libraries (DDL) and DOE. The program calls for Delawareans to become more involved and aware of the importance of literacy while encouraging students, library media specialists and teachers to be involved in higher level thinking activities in reading. One elementary, middle, and high school in each county with the greatest number of points earned from participating in higher level reading activities based on research will receive a visit from a guest author during the week of May 9, with a presentation available for all Library Media Specialists at the Delaware Library Association Conference on May 13.
The literacy program is the brainchild of Valerie A. Woodruff, Delaware's Secretary of Education, and Mary Chute, former Director of State Libraries.
The "Prize Patrol" visited the following Sussex County schools: Lulu B. Ross Elementary School; Seaford Middle School; Seaford High School. In Kent County, the "Prize Patrol" visited Lake Forest North Elementary School; W.T. Chipman Middle School; Dover High School. The winners in New Castle County were: Etta J. Wilson Elementary School; Springer Middle School; Delcastle Technical High School.
Author/illustrator David Biedrzycki* will visit all the winning elementary, middle and high schools, respec-tively. "Children are influenced by art and design everyday of their lives; from the clothes they wear to the cars they drive, the ipods they listen to and the movies they watch." Added Mr. Biedrzycki, "I hope my presentations to these students will motivate our readers, writers and illustrators to follow their dreams."
Mr. Biedrzycki's ambition as a young kid was to be a comic book artist. He illustrated his own comic books and sold them to friends. In college, he aspired to be a painter but quickly found out that painters don't make that much money, so he turned to illustration. During his career, David has illustrated magazine co-vers, book covers, juice labels, tea boxes, posters and billboards. "If students look in their refrigerator, there is a pretty good chance they might see my art-work on a juice bottle or a popsicle box." Added Mr. Biedrzycki, "Up until about six years ago, I would use paint and brushes, but now I illustrate entirely on computer. I hope to demonstrate this technology to our winning students." *David Biedrzycki's books and visit are sponsored by the DIAMOND STATE READING ASSOCIATION, Comcast in both New Castle and Kent Counties, and the Delaware Depart-ment of Education.

Apple has released Mac OS X Lion version 10.7.3 and while there doesn't seem to be any new goodies for iPhone or iPad users, if you're running Apple's desktop OS, it's waiting for you via Software Update.
OS X Lion was first shown off at Apple's Back to the Mac and presented as taking iPhone and iPad innovations back to Apple's traditional computer lines. While some of the changes have been welcomed with open arms, others have experienced birthing pains, and hopefully this and future updates help take the rough edges off. Either that, or 10.8
The 10.7.3 update is recommended for all OS X Lion users and includes general operating system fixes that improve the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac including fixes that:
-Add Catalan, Croatian, Greek, Hebrew, Romanian, Slovak, Thai, and Ukrainian language support -Address issues when using smart cards to log into OS X -Resolve issues authenticating with directory services -Address compatibility issues with Windows file sharing

wegotserved needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 37 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
We Got Served
We Got Served is a tech website covering computer and associated tech news, product reviews and community discussion.
We're relaunching the website in January with a new design and a different format for our product reviews. The site design is almost complete, and we need some design support for an element of our new product review format.
You can view a test version of the new website here: http://www.wegotserved.com/poppy/
Male, tech-savvy digital enthusiasts - these people want to know about the latest products, but want our advance on picking the winners.
As part of our product review process, the highest rated products will receive one of three awards.
"Highly Recommended"
"Most Wanted"
We need an icon for each of the awards, which will be published on the website at end of a review in a ratings table.
The icons need to reflect the branding of the website and fit in with the overarching design (in terms of typeface and colour palette). The icons should sit together as a family, and a preference hierarchy should be communicated (ie. Most Wanted is better than Highly Recommended, which is better than Recommended). It's a typical "Gold, Silver, Bronze" thing, but you're free to use colours other than those should you wish.
We want the site to look clean, fresh and modern, so whilst I'm not banning the kind of "scroll" graphics you often see on these types of awards, the icons need to look contemporary.
The icons may appear in product advertising and on product boxes in the future, so the We Got Served logo should be prominent in the icon design. The icons should also feel special - we won't give these away easily, so they need to have prestige.
Attached is a copy of a ratings table concept that will appear at the bottom of the review - should a product win one of the awards, it will appear on the right hand side next to the large final score. Logos attached.
Test site - http://www.wegotserved.com/poppy/

Mourning the Pope
The period of mourning, like the period of the interregnum or vacancy, begins when a Pope dies. The day of death is counted as the first day of this period. The College of Cardinals will also declare an official mourning period of nine days, called the Novendiales*, which during the Vacancy after the death of Pope John Paul II began on the day of the funeral, counted as Day 1 of the Novendiales. On each of the nine days a different Cardinal celebrates a public funeral rite for the Holy Father, following the Ordo Exsequiarum Romani Pontificis (2000).
For other celebrants, the Missal provides a Mass formula "For a Deceased Pope," and the Liturgy of the Hours an Office of the Dead, which can be used during this time, if the liturgical season permits. In 2005, since Pope John Paul II died during the Octave of Easter (on the Vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday), the initial rites celebrated for him observed the liturgical precedence which the Octave of Easter, the Sundays of Easter and Solemnities which are Holy Days, have (the Annunciation had been transferred out of Holy Week in 2005 to 4 April). However, excluding Sundays, the Mass formula for a deceased Pope, and the Office of the Dead with proper, were able to be celebrated during the Easter Season.
Prior to his burial, and following private rites in the Sistine Chapel, the Pope is laid in state in St. Peter's Basilica, permitting the faithful to pay their respects. In Pope John Paul II's case, this was preceded by a period of visitation for the Papal Household, Civil Dignitaries and Diplomats, held in the Clementina Hall of the Apostolic Palace.
After the Funeral and Burial the mourning period continues until the nine days are completed.
