Craig Morgan's 'All Access Outdoors' to Return for a Third Season
This summer, Craig Morgan's hit series 'All Access Outdoors' will return to the Outdoors Channel for its third consecutive season. Like the previous two seasons of the show, Morgan takes viewers in the woods, on the water and everywhere in between to deliver a non-stop, action-packed program.
The show has been such a success that they have now moved the series to a prime-time slot on Sunday evenings. The first of the 13 episodes will premiere on July 1.
"I think it's going to be our best season yet," Morgan tells Taste of Country exclusively. "It's like the new record … hopefully you get better at what you're doing. There is some cool stuff in this that we stumbled upon that will be in season three that we haven't had in the past, and honestly, that we really didn't know existed. We're coming out with both barrels, no pun intended [laughs]!"
Each week on the show, Morgan will be joined by fellow country music artists as well as professional athletes, motocross celebrities and even his own family. Among the many highlights to be featured in Season 3, Morgan will go surfing in Hawaii and leading first-time hunters on a turkey expedition in his hometown of Dickson, Tenn. As Morgan prepares to unroll the third season of 'All Access Outdoors,' he says feels his confidence in front of the camera continuing to grow.
"That's the key to this series," he notes. "Season 1, we were trying to figure out what we were doing. Season 2, we figured it out. I don't think that I had truly developed the skills until this season. I am more confident in what we're doing. Some of the material and the stuff, we figured out what we were doing based on our ratings on each show."
'Craig Morgan: All Access Outdoors' will air every Sunday on the Outdoors Channel beginning July 1.

It may not be the holiday season, but this time of year is still the busiest for the staff of the Children's Literature Department.
Over 300 people attended this year's annual Science Day event, celebrated at Central Library on March 30, 2013. Now in its 8th year, the theme of Dinosaurs made this our BIGGEST success yet.

The Louis Vuitton Tambour Blue sports a contrasting black V on a canvas of deep bluelouisvuitton Jewelry & Watches
The freshly unveiled Tambour Blue doesn't deviate too far from winning these accolades. The timepiece features a rich deep blue color on the dial, which is marked with the distinct back V. Available in highly contrasting brushed and polished metal finishes, the watches employ the ETA 2894.2 movement with a 42-hour power reserve. The date indicator is located between the 4th and the 5th hour marker on the right hand side of the dial. The dial is flanked by a black alligator and calf bi-material strap with blue highlights. The sapphire glass that sits atop the dial is reflection-proof, thus making reading the time a lot more comfortable at any time of the day. Last, but surely not the least, the watch is submergible up to 100 meters in water, making it durable for sports and adventure usage as well.
The Louis Vuitton Tambour Blue chronograph costs $7,700 and is expected to arrive towards the latter end of this month.

* President's Day Portraits: Mixed Media Art Lesson for Kids
I used to make these portraits with my kindergarten art students for President's day every year.
This lesson is so cute and easy you could make it with older students too!
First, we would study some famous painted portraits
of George Washington.
This one from the National Gallery of Art's collection was my go-to poster of choice.
Then, we would start with a piece of "skin" colored construction paper.
I always ordered the "multi-cultural" spectrum pack
and let the kid's choose whichever color they wanted from the pack.
We would sketch lightly in pencil then go over it in black Crayola marker.
I would model how to draw the facial features and the kids would follow along.
No two portraits turned out alike but they
kids were much more successful with their final projects this way.
I was never one of those, "watch and copy me now" teachers, if they
did it differently I didn't correct them, I just modeled and it helped a lot of kids.
Starting with a large oval (egg) for the face, we would draw two footballs for eyes.
Add circles for the pupils and irises.
A big nose.
Straight line for the mouth.
Then a little smile underneath (bottom lip)
and two moutains on top (top lip)
Don't forget eyebrows and ears!
Then, we would add shadows with a darker
tan or brown crayon (hollows of cheeks, side of nose)
and highlights with white crayon (bridge of nose, middle of forehead)
Then, color in the eyebrows, lips, and pupils with crayon.
Finally, we would cut out the head.
Glue it on a sheet of blue or red construction paper.
Add a black construction paper shirt/shoulders.
Cut a triangle wedge of paper doily for the lace shirt accent.
We would glue cotton balls around the outside of the head as a white wig!
Sometimes, if we felt really festive (and had enough time) we'd add
birthday party hats!
Happy President's Day!

While much of the crop has been better than what farmers expected, some of it is much worse. Richard Kvasnicka, KAWG Director from Winona, says this harvest is the worst he's experienced in 40 years of farming. The crop ranged from 6 to 20 bushels per acre on ground that he harvested, but he abandoned 35% of his wheat acres due to drought. Test weight ranged from 57-60 pounds. Kvasnicka says some of his fields in Logan County have not yet had an inch of rain on them in this calendar year. Shirley Zweygardt, grain merchandiser at the St. Francis Mercantile Equity Exchange, says harvest is about 50% complete; but she expects to receive only 35% of a normal year. She expects most yields to average 20 bushels per acre. Test weight averages 60 pounds per bushel. Early protein samples are over 14. Jeff McNeely, manager of the Frontier Ag facility in Kanorado says harvest just started on Independence Day; early yields range from 8 to 30 bushels per acre. Test weights range from 55 to 61 pounds per bushel. McNeely says the area will harvest just 20% of a normal crop. Ron Suppes, Kansas Wheat Commission chairman from Dighton, abandoned 40% of his acres. On the acres he did harvest, summer fallowed wheat ranged in yield from 8 to 45 bushels per acre, with a 25 bushel per acre average and test weights ranging from 61 to 63 pounds per bushel. Suppes grows all white wheat; Danby was the best performer on his farm. Gary Millershaski, KAWG President from Lakin, says his wheat yields in Kearny County farms ranged from 12 to 24 bushels per acre and averaged in the teens. A hailstorm right before harvest knocked yields down even further. About 12% of the acreage was abandoned. In 30 years of farming, this was Millershaski's worst harvest. The 2013 Harvest Report is brought to you by the Kansas Wheat Commission, Kansas Association of Wheat Growers and sponsors Kansas City Board of Trade, a part of the CME Group and the Kansas Grain & Feed Association.

The show also had to shed a celebrity.

Overtime was not the right time this time for the Lipscomb Bisons soccer team.
After opening the season at home with a 3-2 overtime victory over Birmingham-Southern, the Bisons found themselves on the wrong end of a 1-0 score in overtime Tuesday night against the University of Central Arkansas.
Central Arkansas is in its first season of play on the NCAA Division I level. This was the first meeting between the two schools.
Lipscomb Coach Charles Morrow was disappointed in the performance of his team.
"I was disappointed with the whole team in pretty much all aspects," said Morrow. "I am disappointed with the job I did. We had some success doing something the last game. We went to it this game and it didn't happen. There are any number of reasons that we played poorly."
He did have praise for some players. Veteran Scott Mason played well on defense. Freshman Josh Inglebright, making his first collegiate start, also was solid at midfield. Goalkeeper Danny Prichard, also making his first collegiate start, made five saves including four in the first period.
"Scott always does a good job," said Morrow. "Danny played well. He kept us in the game in the first half."
Wade Luethy came off the bench for Central Arkansas. He managed to score the game winner at the 95:30 mark in overtime off of a pass from midfielder Jimmy Nummy.
Chris Murphy was in goal for Central Arkansas. He also made five saves, including four in the first period.
Lipscomb forward Ben Page was the game-leader in shots for the second game in a row with six. Matt Marlin led Central Arkansas with five.
Central Arkansas out-shot Lipscomb 18-15 and held a 6-5 edge in shots on goal.
"I don't feel like we transitioned well from attacking to getting organized defensively," said Morrow. "We did not handle them countering us very well."
The Bisons travel this weekend to Milwaukee, Wisc., for the Panther Invitational. They face the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Friday and the host University of Milwaukee at 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
"This game should be a wake-up call," said Morrow. "We are playing two good teams this weekend. They aren't going to miss opportunities to score."

As winter months give way to longer days and warmer temperatures, bikers everywhere are gearing up for some spring cycling. Whether you're a champion cyclist, a triathlete, or just a recreational biker, it's important to know how to prevent injuries to ensure that you get the most out of your spring training.
Kevin Calvey, the clinic director at ATI Physical Therapy in Middletown, DE clinic, offers these tips to practice bike safety.
Change position on bicycle every ten minutes. Move slightly on the saddle, move the hands to either a new position, or just unclench and move the hand to a slightly different place on the grip.
Proper seat height is very important, but you should err on the short side. (An easy rule of thumb is if you can rest both feet on the ground at the same time while still sitting on the saddle, the seat is too low. This is the most common problem in amateur/weekend warrior cycling.)
Choose a bike saddle that is level to the ground when measured with a bubble level. (Cyclists commonly tilt the saddle nose down a tad which not only causes big problems for the hands and shoulders, but also for the knee. A saddle tilted up will cause pudendal neuralgia. (If that doesn't sound bad, look it up!)
Make sure you have the right size bike frame. (It's not uncommon to be sold or to buy a frame without knowing that it's actually the wrong size frame. To learn how to measure and find the right bike frame size, visit Keep biking injuries at bay with these safety tips.)
Remember the importance of reach. (Reach is another aspect of frame size that can cause severe wrist, hand, and neck pain. The "stem," which is the part that connects the bike front fork (steering tube) to the handlebars, is a standard length for the size frame it's on. This part should be swapped out for a shorter one if you have a shorter torso or a "higher rise" version if you have a history of low back pain.)
Be sure to have adequate "float" for clipless pedal systems. (If you use clipless pedal systems, make sure the system has adequate "float" to allow for natural rotations in the lower leg bones while the knee goes through its cycle of motion.)
Maintain high cadence (rpm) regardless of grade. (To put it simply -- change gears often. Another very common flaw in cycling is to choose higher gears and push really hard to go fast, usually keeping a cadence or pedal turning frequency of 60 RPM. A far more appropriate and safe way is to choose a lower gear and pedal faster in the range of 90-100 RPM.)
Padded shorts can really make a difference. (If you're not comfortable with spandex, they sell "normal" short looking versions with the bike shorts inside. As long as your bike is not WAY off in terms of size and set up, this is the single best thing you could do to increase your comfort and safety on a bike.)
Limit weekly mileage increases to 10%.

Ford ran production on the Bronco from 1966 to 1996. The car has long enjoyed the reputation of a dependable SUV, ideal for hauling kids, cargo, and just about anything else drivers need.
One thing the United States has been known for is its production of high-quality cars and trucks, almost from the very beginning of the industry's existence. It is impossible to consider automotive history without thinking of the Ford Motor Company. Much like that of other fine car manufacturers, the history of Ford wasn't all smooth sailing. The company overcame some trying difficulties before achieving success.
Henry Ford first stepped into the automotive business in 1899, with the Detroit Automobile Company. Due to financial problems, the company failed, and Ford lent his name and talent to the creation of the Henry Ford Company in 1901. As it turned out, Ford and his financial backers had disagreements that ended the company. So with two failed attempts under his belt, Henry Ford took a chance and started the Ford Motor Company in 1903. This time, he managed to accomplish what he set out to do, and an automotive giant was born.
The Ford Motor Company is still family owned and operated to this day. It continues to produce popular cars, trucks, and SUVs, like the Ford Bronco, for the company's many fans.
Ford offers the Bronco in five, very different generations. The early Broncos, made until 1977, are unique to the full-size Broncos, which appeared in 1978 and continued until the line's end in 1996. All of the Broncos are well known for their off-road capabilities and truck-like driving and handling, as well as their durability.
The 1996 model comes in only one body style, but Ford offers several trim packages for consumers to choose from. Buyers looking at the 1996 Bronco can easily distinguish it from the XL, XLT, XLT sport, andEddie Bauer editions. Each trim package offers options that greatly enhance the powerhouse SUV.
With such a large vehicle, it's necessary to discuss the available engine options for the Bronco. Consumers have the option of three different V-8 engines. The first, a 5.0-liter engine, provides 210 horsepower and boasts a four-speed automatic, or a five-speed transmission. The next motor features a 5.8-liter capacity, with only an automatic transmission available. Finally, the monster engine option is the 5.8-liter V-8.This engine meets emission standards by converting airflow, fuel metering, and fuel injection.
The interior of the 1996 Ford Bronco looks much like that of Ford's F-series pick-up truck. No one can complain about a lack of room in the cabin, and there is plenty of leg and head room. You will also find that the Bronco offers more than adequate storage space for luggage, hunting and fishing equipment, or whatever else you may want to haul.
The original Ford Bronco bears little resemblance to the monster-size sport utility vehicle it morphed into by 1996. In 1966, the Bronco was introduced to compete with Jeep CJ vehicles and the International Harvester Scout. It is relatively small and designed for off-road travel, which the early edition manages very well. It's important to note that with the first generation's small size, towing ability is minimal. Regardless, it proves very popular with people who have outdoor lifestyles.
Ford did a great job of updating the Bronco as the years went on. Design upgrades were necessary for the SUV that remained in production for 30 years. Later models offer buyers a lot of new extras. Starting in the 1990s, Ford updated the Bronco with additional safety features such as rear-seating seatbelts, driver side airbags, and crumple zones in the front of the vehicle—to make front-end collisions less dangerous for passengers. The more recent models also feature updated body styles and changes to the dash.Overall, the Bronco has always done well in off-road driving, making it an excellent sport utility vehicle.
1996 Ford Bronco
SUV, Utility/Offroad
The 1996 Ford Bronco comes with two engine choices, two transmission choices, and three trim levels.
1995 Ford Bronco
The 1995 Ford Bronco is a powerful, high-performance sport utility vehicle (SUV) that can handle well on roadways and off road.

The RNC has said that Republicans "must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform" in order to gain appeal among Hispanic voters. But RNC Chairman Reince Priebus now insists that he and his Committee are not taking a position on immigration.
Priebus' claim insults our intelligence. Yes, in theory "comprehensive immigration reform" could mean almost anything. A bill that ended all legal immigration, sent the U.S. Army en masse to the border, and called for the aggressive deportation of every illegal alien would qualify as comprehensive immigration reform.
But in the context of the ongoing immigration debate, comprehensive immigration reform, to my knowledge, has always meant, in part, doing something for (not against) the millions of illegal aliens who reside in the U.S. Moreover, we know that this is what Priebus means because only by doing something for illegal aliens can the GOP hope to gain appeal among Hispanic voters. If the Party "embraces and champions" legislation that does nothing for illegals, it will be worse off than if it avoids talking about the subject.
Accordingly, it is absurd for Priebus to claim that he's not taking a position on immigration. Clearly, he and his Committee favor doing something on behalf of illegal aliens in order to change the Party's image among Hispanic (and probably other) voters. That's a position.
There are only two serious things that can be done for illegal aliens. One is to grant them amnesty; the other is to grant them amnesty plus a path to citizenship.
It is true that Priebus hasn't taken a position on which of these two approaches he prefers. The problem is that only supporting a path to citizenship holds any promise for making inroads with Hispanic voters. If Republicans balk at providing that path, they become the Party that embraces second class status for millions of hardworking Hispanics — accepting them as our gardeners and caretakers, but denying them equality and the chance to share fully in the American dream. This is hardly a stance that will appeal to Hispanic voters
If Priebus doesn't understand this reality, he is being foolish. If he does understand it, then, like Sens. Rubio, McCain, and Graham (whose work on immigration he complimented) he favors a path to citizenship, but simply won't admit it.
To be clear, there are reasons one might support comprehensive immigration reform that provides for amnesty but not path to citizenship. These reasons include (1) obtaining concessions, such as better enforcement, in exchange, (2) the argument that we have de facto amnesty already, and (3) the belief that we shouldn't force people from whom our population receives services to live under a cloud.
But the prospect of winning Hispanic votes is not a reason to support such reform.

"The biker is going fast and looks like he is hunched down. He hits the victim dead-on. There is never a moment where he looks like he is trying to slow down," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because police are still investigating the March 29 crash. Hui died of his injuries four days laterFirst - This is the second and perhaps third leak of evidence from an "anonymous" member of the SFPD for a suspect who has not been charged. Also in Matier and Ross is a "witness account"
Police sources tell us the file forwarded to the district attorney includes the name and number of a motorist who reported seeing Bucchere and another cyclist fly through several red lights and stop signs before the deadly Castro district crash. Hui's wife, incidentally, was walking a few steps ahead when her husband was hit.A third possible leak from the SFPD is the email threads from Mission Cycling and SF2G. The SFPD had the email threads the day of the incident. The email threads stayed out of the media until they appeared in MarinIJ, SFBG, SFGate, SFAppeal almost simultaneously. Was this also leaked by the SFPD? Regarding a suspect they were not officially naming? Regardless of whether you think Bucchere should be convicted of whatever, he deserves due process. Second, Matier and Ross stated that Hui died of his injuries four days later. While Occam's Razor might lead one to conclude this, I have seen no official word that the injuries were the cause of death. This is picking nits, but isn't wild speculation supposed to be the realm of the crazy bloggers, not the genteel printed media? The analysis of the video given by "Anonymous" is interesting. It does not dovetail with Bucchere's description, especially the statement that Bucchere "laid it down" which we have all concluded he meant that he intentionally crashed his bike. What the discrepancy might make one think - Bucchere claimed that he didn't remember anything for 5 minutes following the accident. How was his recollection of the lead in to the accident so vivid? I was in a car accident when I was 17, I didn't remember anything leading up to the accident until I came to in the ambulance.

What's Surprising About the Apple iPad
Given all the hype surrounding the Apple tablet, perhaps the most surprising thing is that Apple was still able to have some pretty big surprises at the iPad launch this morning. Watching the announcement and then spending a little time with one of the units, I found a number of things that I wasn't expecting.
In particular, the pricing was much more aggressive than I thought it would be, at least on the entry level. The machine felt faster and more responsive. And there were more applications aimed at creating content.
The basic form factor was pretty much was most people were expecting. The iPad looks like a big iPhone or iPod touch with a 9.7-inch LED-backlit LCD display. The screen is 1024 by 768, and it runs on a 1-GHz Apple A4 custom processor. It comes with 802.11n and optional 3G wireless support. More important, it comes with applications for mail, Web browsing, photos, videos, music, maps, and book reading. For more details, see PCMag's full coverage.
The big surprise in the announcement was the pricing. The basic unit, with Wi-Fi only and 16GB of flash memory, will sell for $499. While that may not be enough storage to hold all of your media library, it is enough for a lot of people, and as a result, it opens the iPad up to a much larger potential audience. There will also be a 32GB version for $599 and a 64GB one for $699. (In comparison, an iPod touch with a smaller screen, battery, and less capable processor and apps is $300 less.)
The wireless broadband plans were also a pleasant surprise. Versions of the iPad with 3G built in cost $130 more, bringing the cost of the most expensive version (with 64GB) up to $829 - which seems like a reasonable price for a 3G modem. But the good news is that the plans are far less expensive: $14.99 a month for up to 250MB of data and $29.99 for unlimited data via AT&T. This is far less than the price of most broadband access plans.
While Apple's Steve Jobs said most people will be just fine with the lower plan, I wonder, given the size of the screen and the ability to download and play HD movies. It will be interesting to see how AT&T notifies you if you're approaching its limits. But still, these are very aggressive plans.
As I used the unit, I found a number of things to be better than I expected. Web browsing (via Wi-Fi) was quite fast, with pages refreshing very quickly. It felt as fast as browsing pages on a regular laptop, and thus notably faster than browsing the same pages on an iPhone or iPod touch (via WI-FI). The Maps application (which uses Google maps as a back end) was a particular revelation: Maps zoomed very quickly, and the "street view" feature came in and redrew notably quickly too. While I initially was skeptical of the use of Maps on a tablet, the speed and the multitouch interface made this surprising impressive.
The page-rendering speed is obviously a combination of the software and hardware in the device, and as usual, Apple wouldn't give many details. The browser is Safari, which is quick on rendering on laptops; and the A4 processor clearly uses some sort of ARM-based core (for compatibility with the iPhone apps), plus special graphics to speed rendering. Clearly, Apple has a special and very powerful processor. Jobs said the iPad will last "up to 10 hours" which is great for an LCD-based, WiFI device. We'll have to see in the real world, of course.
The one big downside to the browser was that it still does not support Adobe Flash, which means that video on sites like Hulu or the networks simply does not work. Apple representatives said the Web was moving to HTML 5, but that's a slow transition, if it happens.
The other big surprise to me was the emphasis on content creation applications. I expected the device to do a good job with playing videos and music, displaying photos. But I wasn't expecting a demo of a painting application (called Brushes, now out for the iPhone), and certainly not of productivity applications, like the iWork suite.
These applications, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers (for presentations, word processing and spreadsheets), are special iPad versions of Apple's Mac productivity suite that will be available for $9.99 each. I'm not sure that most people will actually create a lot of content on the iPad, but the apps make the device a lot more flexible.
I'll have more to say later, but at first glance, these were the things I found most surprising. Of course, given all the hype, it's just amazing that anything unexpected happened.

- 3 Configuration
- 4 Compile
- 5 Monitoring Progress
- 6 Cross Compiling with Distcc
- 7 Tips/Tricks
- distcc daemon
- The PC or server that's running distcc to distribute the source code. The daemon itself will compile parts of the source code but will also send other parts to the hosts defined in DISTCC_HOSTS.
- distcc server
- The PC or server compiling the source code it gets from the daemon. When it's done compiling, it sends back the object code (i.e. compiled source code) to the daemon, which in turn sends back some more source code (if there's any left to compile).
Getting started
Install the distcc package from [community] on all PCs in the cluster:
# pacman -S distcc
For other distro's or even OS'es including Windows through using Cygwin, refer to the distcc docs.
Both Daemon and Server(s)
Edit Template:Filename and modify the only uncommented line with the correct IP address or range of your daemon or of your entire subnet:
DISTCC_ARGS="--user nobody --allow 192.168.0.0/24"
Daemon Only
Edit Template:Filename in the following three sections:
- BUILDENV has distcc unbanged i.e. without exclamation point.
- Uncomment the DISTCC_HOSTS line and add the IP addresses of the servers (slaves) then a slash and the number of threads they are to use. The subsequent IP address/threads should be separated by a white space. This list is ordered from most powerful to least powerful (processing power).
- Adjust the MAKEFLAGS variable to correspond to the number of sum of the number of individual values specified for the max threads per server. In the example below, this is 5+3+3=11. If users specify more than this sum, the extra theoretical thread(s) will be blocked by distcc and appear as such in monitoring utils such as distccmon-text described below.
Example using relevant lines:
BUILDENV=(distcc fakeroot color !ccache !check) MAKEFLAGS="-j11" DISTCC_HOSTS="192.168.0.2/5 192.168.0.3/3 192.168.0.4/3"
If users wish to use distcc through SSH, add an "@" symbol in front of the IP address in this section. If key-based auth is not setup on the systems, set the DISTCC_SSH variable to ignore checking for authenticated hosts, i.e. DISTCC_SSH="ssh -i"
Start the distcc daemon on every participating machine:
# rc.d start distccd
If having distccd run at boot up, add it to the DAEMONS array in Template:Filename.
Compile via makepkg as normal.
Monitoring Progress
Progress can be monitored via several methods.
- distccmon-text
- tailing log file
Invoke distccmon-text to check on compilation status:
$ distccmon-text 29291 Preprocess probe_64.c 192.168.0.2[0] 30954 Compile apic_noop.c 192.168.0.2[0] 30932 Preprocess kfifo.c 192.168.0.2[0] 30919 Compile blk-core.c 192.168.0.2[1] 30969 Compile i915_gem_debug.c 192.168.0.2[3] 30444 Compile block_dev.c 192.168.0.3[1] 30904 Compile compat.c 192.168.0.3[2] 30891 Compile hugetlb.c 192.168.0.3[3] 30458 Compile catalog.c 192.168.0.4[0] 30496 Compile ulpqueue.c 192.168.0.4[2] 30506 Compile alloc.c 192.168.0.4[0]
One can have this program run continuously by using watch or by appending a space followed by integer to the command which corresponds to the number of sec to wait for a repeat query:
$ watch distccmon-text
$ distccmon-text 2
One can also simply tail Template:Filename on daemon:
# tail -f /var/log/messages.log
Cross Compiling with Distcc
Assuming the user has a 32-bit chroot setup and configured on each node of the distcc cluster, the strategy is to have two instances of distccd running (on different ports). One runs in the native x86_64 environment and the other in the x86 chroot. Start makepkg via a schroot command invoking makepkg.
Setup the chroot according to the aforementioned link. Be sure to install the discc package!
Once distcc is installed in the chroot, simply make three minor modifications inside the chroot:
- Configure distccd to run on another port which allows two version (one outside the chroot and once inside) to co-exist.
- Create a link in /usr/bin to "distccd2".
- Modify two lines in Template:Filename pointing the script to the symlink
- Redefine the DISTCC_HOSTS including a the modified port number in Template:Filename
Example Template:Filename in the chroot:
DISTCC_ARGS="--user nobody --allow 192.168.0.0/24 --port 3692 --log-level info --log-file /tmp/distccd-i686.log"
The symlink serves as a trivial method to avoid having two of the same programs (and start paths) running in the process list. Omitting this step will render the 2nd instance of distcc unable to start by design of the init script: specifically, "pidof -o %PPID /usr/bin/distccd"!
Execute the following inside the chroot:
# ln -s /usr/bin/distccd /usr/bin/distccd2
Modification to Daemon Script
#!/bin/bash [ -f /etc/conf.d/distccd ] && . /etc/conf.d/distccd . /etc/rc.conf . /etc/rc.d/functions PID=`pidof -o %PPID /usr/bin/distccd2` <----- case "$1" in start) stat_busy "Starting distcc Daemon" [ -z "$PID" ] && /usr/bin/distccd2 --daemon ${DISTCC_ARGS} <----- if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then stat_fail else add_daemon distccd stat_done fi ;;
Streamline this by simply adding a line to Template:Filename to invoke the modified distccd like so:
case $1 in start) stat_busy "Starting Arch32 chroot" for d in "${dirs[@]}"; do mount -o bind $d /opt/arch32/$d done mount -t proc none /opt/arch32/proc mount -t sysfs none /opt/arch32/sys -----> linux32 chroot /opt/arch32 sh -c "/etc/rc.d/distccd start" || return 1 <----- add_daemon arch32 stat_done ;; stop) stat_busy "Stopping Arch32 chroot" -----> linux32 chroot /opt/arch32 sh -c "/etc/rc.d/distccd stop" || return 1 <----- ...
Add port numbers to DISTCC_HOSTS on the i686 chroot
Append the port number defined eariler (3692) to each of the hosts in Template:Filename as follows:
Invoke makepkg from the Native Environment
Setup schroot on the native x86_64 environment. Invoke makepkg to build an i686 package from the native x86_64 environment, simply by:
$ schroot -p -- makepkg -src
2 .Using Multilib GCC
Edit Template:Filename and uncomment the multilib repo:
[multilib] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Install gcc-multilib and its dependencies
# pacman -Syy & pacman -S gcc-multilib binutils-multilib
Compile packages on x86_64 for i686 is as easy as adding the following lines to Template:Filename
CARCH="i686" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe -m32" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
and invoking makepkg via the following
$ linux32 makepkg -src
Remember to remove or modify Template:Filename when finished compiling i686 packages!
Limit HDD/SDD usage
Relocate ~/.distcc
By default, distcc creates a $HOME/.distcc which stores transient relevant info as it serves up work for nodes to compile. Create a directory named .distcc in RAM such as /dev/shm and soft link to it in $HOME. This will avoid needless HDD read/writes and is particularly important for SSDs.
$ mv ~/.distcc /dev/shm $ ln -s ~/.distcc /dev/shm/.distcc
One only needs to have Template:Filename re-create this directory on a reboot (the soft link will remain until it is manually removed like any other file):
su -c "mkdir /dev/shm/.distcc" USERNAME
Adjust log level
By default, distcc will log to Template:Filename as it goes along. One trick (actually recommended in the distccd manpage) is to log to an alternative file directly. Again, one can locate this in RAM via /dev/shm. Another trick is to lower to log level of minimum severity of error that will be included in the log file. Useful if only wanting to see error messages rather than an entry for each connection. LEVEL can be any of the standard syslog levels, and in particular critical, error, warning, notice, info, or debug.
Both of these lines are to be appended to DISTCC_ARGS in Template:Filename
DISTCC_ARGS="--user nobody --allow 192.168.0.0/24 --log-level error --log-file /dev/shm/distccd.log"

Published by Mike at 12:22 AM under Characters | Disney | Disneyland | Paradise Pier Hotel | Picture | Seamus | Trip Report | Vacation
So today on my other computer at work some of the pictures of Seamus meeting his first characters during our Disneyland trip in November 2005. We were still living back in Rochester, NY at the time but knew we would be moving out to AZ in a few weeks (for me) and a few months (for Kelly and Seamus).
We took direct flight from Buffalo to Phoenix on SouthWest. Here is Seamus in his seat on the plane. We spent a night or two in Surprise visiting our friends who I was coming out to work for in a few weeks. Then we drove to Disneyland for a couple nights at Paradise Pier Hotel. We had rented our DVC points to a friend and used some of the money for the stay on property. I found a good deal as we got closer to the trip that made us make the move to on property instead of off property location.
The night we got there, after we checked in we went to the pool deck of the hotel and watched the 50th celebration fireworks. The next morning we did a character breakfast at one of the restaurants of the Paradise Pier Hotel. At that breakfast Seamus met his first characters. The first of which was Stitch, who showed up after he was getting fussy, so he was crying BEFORE the picture below.
I am pretty sure that he only did two rides that trip. The first was at DCA where he did the carousel that they have, and the next day he did "It's a Small World", which since we went in November was under its Holiday overlay so it was more tolerable as the holiday songs were mixed in with the usual music.
Below is a gallery of selected pictures from that trip.
The opinions expressed herein are my own personal opinions and do not represent my employer's view in anyway.

If you're like me, you nearly keeled over with laughter at all of R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet" music videos. They were masterpieces. Epic content for a generation of R&B enthusiasts, I say! Well prepare yourself: Tuesday is about to get a whole lot better. "Trapped in the Closet" is most likely coming to Broadway. The star told an audience at New York City's Sunshine Theater on Monday night that he just got an offer "from Broadway" to do a "Broadway version." He then continued on to say that "Trapped" is an alien and he's "glad to be one of the astronauts to take this thing to the unknown."
The selling point: Kelly says he may star in some of the production, but the man's pretty busy writing more chapters. To think, R. Kelly as a Broadway star. Heck, if Mike Tyson can do it, so can he.
I've gotta be honest, when I first saw the buzz for this on Twitter today, I thought it had to be a joke. Kelly is releasing another volume of this opera of sorts on Friday, and well, a rumor like this seemed fitting.
While I think the "Trapped" series is funny and so over-the-top ridiculous, I'm not personally a fan of R. Kelly. I feel like so many people have forgotten that this is the same man who went on trial for potentially having sex with a minor and child pornography. Yeah, he was cleared of the counts, but I don't know, I just feel slightly sketched out.
I do have a whole slew of questions about this, though. If R. Kelly's not starring in the series, who would? What actors would they bring in? Would any big-name actors want to be involved with a project that so many people would be interested in as a joke?
Who knows. The guy's got a crazy imagination and I'm curious to see what, if anything, comes out of this. Feel a little nostalgic with "Trapped in the Closet: Chapter 1" here:
Would you see "Trapped in the Closet" on Broadway? Are you an R. Kelly fan?

r2b on both tacks.
b2t cleaned up on both sides, and almost landed b2w on port.
but pretty much gave up on freestyle and spent most of the summer on the raceboard.
got roll tacks going both ways, and even landed a few in competition/choppy waters...
that's something that will take many many hours to push to >90% success rate.
congrats blackbird on a home grown trick - even mr world champ, johnny heineken, was showing off those in italy, on a raceboard! giving full credit, of course, in referring to a 'duedrop'.

In a world where music is confined inside of electronics, imprisoned between wires and microchips and motherboards, music as an art form seems strangely alien and characterless, coldly robotic in its intangibility.
Enter Brian Reisman, owner of Hideaway Music, an independent record store where you're as likely to find a classic John Coltrane vinyl as you are an Aesop's Film Fables DVD.
For the past ten years, Reisman has been dedicated to preserving a plethora of art from the past, virtually selling nostalgia one record, one Hi-Fi turntable, one vintage concert poster at a time – successfully coloring a medium that often appears blank and unresponsive.
"I remember carrying around my records all the time," Reisman said. "I used to bring them to parties and sit around just listening to them with people. Nowadays you simply push a button and put your headphones on."
That view of music, as communal and interactive, is lacking in today's cyber world. Sure, music is constantly being shared over the internet and there are more bands and genres today than there were years ago, but the media they're presented in seem more solitary than social.
You can sit at your computer, buy an album and listen to it without ever having to leave your house, and once the album's over, you can write a review or chat about it online. Listening to an album with a friend for the first time and talking about it after is an incredible experience – borderline spiritual – and Hideaway Music and Reisman are bringing that back to life after watching it fade into obscurity for quite sometime.
"Vinyls disappeared for a while, " Reisman said. "They seem to be making a comeback, though, whether it's from people buying them for collector's sake or just appreciating it as music in its original form. Also, there's a lot of music out there on vinyl that never made it to CD, and for people who enjoyed that music and can't find it, those old records are a source for nostalgia."
For the younger generations vinyls are attractive and possess, as Reisman calls it, the "cool-factor." They're artifacts which maintain their purity in their imperfections, and that's alluring when you're sabotaged by a cacophony of crystal-clean sounds and synthetic instruments.
"People will tell you audio files sound better, but that lo-fi sound can be very appealing, very real," he said.
On Nov. 3, Hideaway Music celebrates its 10th anniversary. I asked Reisman whether or not he ever thought he'd be in business that long.
"Sure, I didn't know exactly what to think," he said. "There were some struggles with the changing medias and whatnot, but we've been having fun. We've had our store at a few locations around the Hill, and each store was bigger than the last. We've been at this location for six years now, and it's been great."
For the 10th anniversary of Hideaway Music, there will be a free in-store concert by John Wesley Harding, a well-known folk musician and author, plus an appearance by Elizabeth and The Catapult, a Brooklyn-based indie artist.
Everything in the store is 10 percent off, and they're going to have special 10th anniversary T-shirts available for ordering. Reisman also added there'd be some "surprises." The celebration starts at 1 p.m.
You can find out more on Hideaway Music and its 10th anniversary on its website – hideawaymusic.org, or on its Facebook page.

It was posted in the results thread after last round's fiasco with names. It was also a basis for frequent conversation when the videos and results came out last round.MycathatesyouAMV wrote:I was unaware that the rule was even changed as of R2. No one had informed me of it.
I mean, good grief, it's a BLIND contest for judging. I thought it was obvious enough without having to say anything in the rules. But, while I was sympathetic the first round because the rules didn't actually say anything about it, I can't be sympathetic now, because it was posted and people were warned. If I don't disqualify you, it's unfair to the other competitors that did compete fairly, and who the judges don't know. I know it's a small and petty thing to be disqualified over, but it is out of my hands. I have to run the contest as fairly as I can, especially since this is an org-supported contest.
My favorite videos in a non-randomized order, but still not in an order that reflects my favorites.
1 [Makes me want to watch that imaginary show now. O_o]
4 [You do realize that Chobits had a HAPPY ending, right?]
10 [Most literal interpretation of theme EVER. ]
11 [SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE tennis]
13 [Most oddly fitting crossover ever. O-o]
19 [WTF. Just... WTF? But nice and creative. XD]

Mena Suvari: one of the few
Sinead O'Connor can. And of course so can Natalie Portman. Also arguably Britney Spears who insists on going with the ghetto extensions but obviously, few can rock the bald and rock it well.
Never would have picked Mena Suvari as a member of that club.
But here she is showing off a shaved head – not sure if it's for a role, don't really care. The point is she looks hot. Like super sexy. And pretty too.
Wouldn't be surprised if she just buzzed it because she wanted to and not because of a part in a movie. She's an odd one, Mena. Saw her last year at TIFF, kinda crazy but not in a serial killer crazy way, rather she walks to the beat of the noise in her own head. It's hard to explain, I'd have to act it out for you. Like she's spacey half the time and then all of a sudden she'll start shouting out random thoughts and then she won't shut up about it but repeats the same thing over and over again. In my case it was a video clip on the web. Out of nowhere after a rather sedate interview, she started losing her balls about that "shoes" clip on YouTube. She kept repeating: Oh my God it's sooooo funny in a wacked out slow low voice without cracking a smile. Say it in slow motion: oohhhh mahhhhh gawwwwwd, it's soooo fuuuhhhhhnnnyyy…
That's Mena Suvari.
I'm telling you…she's trippy. But in a dirty hot kind of way. And especially now with a buzzed head. Love it.

That boot being worn by Ben Roethlisberger after Pittsburgh's win against Miami is very worrisome. But he tends to always show up in the playoffs, and perform superbly much of the time.
It will be fun to watch Roethlisberger, WR Antonio Brown and RB Le'Veon Bell take on Marcus Peters, Eric Berry and the rest of Kansas City's formidable defense. On the other side of the ball, Steelers LB James Harrison and Co. should be able to handle Chiefs QB Alex Smith, but the question is how Pittsburgh's defense and special teams will corral rookie speedster Tyreek Hill.
The Steelers eased past the Chiefs on Oct. 2, but that was in Pittsburgh. Kansas City is better now than it was back them, although so are the Steelers.
If KC can get pressure on Big Ben and somewhat control Antonio Brown, the league's most dangerous receiver (and non-quarterback), and RB Le'Veon Bell, it can use its relatively conservative offense to its advantage. But will Andy Reid turn the reins loose a bit when the Chiefs have the ball?
A matchup we can't wait to see is Brown vs. All-Pro cornerback Marcus Peters.
The feeling is that only the Steelers could derail another trip to the Super Bowl for New England.

.Several days ago I suggested a revamping of the batting order, which included moving Jose Reyes back to the leadoff situation and David Wright second. The moves also included moving Ike Davis up to fifth.
After last night's game Jerry Manuel suggested line-up changes were coming but would not elaborate. I am hoping he realizes his intentions, although well meaning, aren't working.
The numbers say Reyes isn't hitting whether it be first or third in the order, so why change?
Normally, I wouldn't move a guy just because he's unhappy, but Reyes is in a definite funk and the Mets need to get him better. They juggled things to get Jason Bay going; they need to do the same to get Reyes going again.
Reyes' professional identity is as a leadoff hitter and that's been stripped from him and you can tell in his body language and demeanor he's frustrated. I recently told him, "you know, Babe Ruth hit third."
He was not amused, although he has been swinging like the Bambino.
For years we've been told Reyes is the ignition to the Mets' offense as the leadoff hitter, and it is time to move him back. Reyes, because of injuries last year and perhaps a damaged psyche this spring, hasn't been Reyes since 2008. It's time to get him back

To the Editor:
Taxpayers of McHenry County were upset, though maybe not surprised, by the McHenry County College Board's recent action to extend President Vicky Smith's contract.
Why the rush? Her contract did not expire until next June. The rush was not to extend the contract, but to extend the contract before the new board was seated. Why? Because the voters have indicated dissatisfaction with how the old board was running things. So the old board chose to subvert the electoral process and ram through an extension for Ms. Smith.
This puts Ms. Smith in an untenable position. It makes her look as though she colluded with the old board (several of whom were voted out) in order to keep the new board (with new members voted in) from deciding whether she will stay.
This smoke-filled, backroomtype action comes at a bad time, because the old board's spending plans ($500 million now down to $42 million, for a health club!) have not been well-received by taxpayers. It appears as though MCC has no respect for the electoral process.
And that has put Ms. Smith in an untenable position: If she accepts the contract extension, she will appear to be in agreement with the old board's actions. The solution is for Ms. Smith to decline the old board's contract extension and leave it up to the new board. That will show that Ms. Smith does have respect for the electoral process. And it will keep her from starting off on the wrong foot with the new board.

BrokenBones needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 39 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Black Pecan Partnership
Multi-generational family (the Black family) run farm located in North Carolina focusing on pecan production. We are looking for an attractive, yet simple logo design to put on hats, shirts, letterhead, promotional materials etc. The farm has been active since the 1800's and run exclusively by members of the Black family. We are also extensively involved in farm real estate sales and leases in the North Carolina area.
We have never had a logo that distinctly brands ourselves. We will be staying in our existing market of active farming and sales of farm land. Basically, everyone in the area knows us as a historical farming family, so we want a logo that can be associated with us.
Simple, but attractive. Logo would likely involve a pecan tree, but we are open to ideas. Since this is a family run business, we had tossed around the idea of a family crest, but this may be too much. Immediately after the selection of our design, we plan on ordering hats and shirts that have our logo. The official name of the business is the Black Pecan Partnership.

Do pickled vegetables such as beets, cauliflower, green beans, etc.. have any nutritional value?
Pickles are the cooked vegetable, preserved with vinegar and salt. They contain all of the fiber, and most of the minerals and vitamins that were in the fresh vegetable. Unfortunately most are high in salt which raises blood pressure in many people. For this reason they should be consumed in moderation.

The package offers activities such as villagestay, trekking, hiking, cultural entertainments, swimming, snorkeling, canoeing, fishing, diving, bird watching, forest walk, observe our subsistence livelihood and more enjoyable nature activities that you have never thought of that would eventually fill you with peace of mind.
Villagestay offers you the opportunity to have first hand experiences to living and surviving in a local and natural environment in different islands or provinces in Solomon Islands. You will be amazed to see and learn that locals can survive without electricity, supermarkets, banks and other essential services that people in developed countries have dependent upon for their survival.
You will be accommodated in a local thatched leaf roof lodge or rest house which is a cool experience, witness and learn how to cook food in hot stone oven and stem cook in wooden bowl or bamboo. You may accompany your host to the garden to harvest crops such as taro, yam, potato, cassava, and collect cabbage which will be prepared for your lunch or evening meals.
Toilets may be a private walled pit latrine which is conveniently located some metres away from the lodge or rest house.
Trekking is walking on bush trails to reach your destination on another location of the island. There are two common trekking routes. One is cross over island trekking and the second one is coastal trekking. Crossover island trekking is walking on bush trails across the island by climbing mountains, valleys, leaping on rocks and stones, wade across rivers, streams and camping at night or villagestay before getting to your destination. You will have the opportunity for sightseeing of plants including the floras, faunas, insects, animals and have an experience of the natural rain forest. Crossover Island trekking on Guadalcanal Island takes at least four to five nights to reach your destination which is on the opposite end of the Island. During the trek, you will come across at most two remote villages in highlands before reaching your destination which is on the opposite end of the island.
In coastal trekking, you will follow the bush trails at the coast to get to your destination during which you will visit local villages, meet and interact with villagers, cultural entertainments and understand more about people and cultures.
We sincerely hope that the adventure package will offer you unique experiences about Solomon Islands, a country with diversity in nature, people and cultures. Most vitally, you will experience the peace of mind that you have never experienced in the past.
