Approaching Finish Line at
American River 50
Wow folks, it's been almost two months since my last entry! Sorry to keep you hanging! So much for reporting on the American River Ride! This shows how hard it is to keep your life together while preparing for Tevis. Its a juggling act, let me tell you. It certainly is not anywhere as easy as it was back in the eighties and nineties when I was young. Also the crappy economy is not helping. But everything is going well with only a few small glitches.
So much has happened in two months. First, I'll fill you in on how drag riding the American River Ride went. This is the oldest 50 miler in the country. It started in the 60's. It used to start down in Sacramento at the Cal Expo State Fairgrounds, then later up in the town of Folsom, the home of the Folsom Prison of the Johnny Cash song. We had to travel down a bunch of pavement for the first couple of miles due to the trail being paved for bikes, and it got old. So this year we started on the shores of Folsom Lake and travelled up the shoreline until it narrowed into the American River, North Fork. It was a crowded ridecamp, but it was nice. We got there kinda late, just in time for briefing, and managed to find a slot for the rig.
I made as many preparations as possible that evening, not being a morning person. I put on her EZ boot Gloves and wrapped her pasterns with vet wrap under the gaiters in case they rubbed. I had used the front ones only once, and the back ones not at all. It was a bit risky, but they fit well. Sue was going to try to do the whole 50, but ride management told her she could have a 25 completion if she chose to stop. She brought along her friend Stephen, and he was a godsend. He helped a lot with everything. I don't know what we would have done without him, as we had to get up before dawn and be at the starting line at 5:30, otherwise known as getting up at damn dark thirty. Usually you only do this for hundreds. I did not do well with it, needing my beauty sleep before a ride.
It still took us a while to get ready and we got to the starting line at 5:55. We got started, and after a short time I noticed the boots in front twisting. I got off and straightened them and we got on our way. I guess there were a lot of late starters because we had lots of company on the trail. We went past a lot of nice houses near the lake and passed a group of tom turkeys having a display-off, with their feathers all fanned out and posing and strutting. Then we saw a semi-tame coyote who let us pass withing ten feet of him as he strolled along.
The trail climbed gradually up to Auburn with the water to the right of us the whole way. Most of it was one lane and very nice. The twenty five mile point was the Tevis Cup finish line, and Sue decided her ankle was giving out and chose to stop there. I took a one hour lunch break after trotting Sweetie out for the vet. She chose to roll in the grass while waiting her turn, something she loves to do. She rolls back and forth with gusto. After her vet check she spotted a cute little grey mule mare and turned and had a lot to say to it. She was doing her stud act again. I said, "No! We don't have time for this Miss Macho!" and had to drag her away. The vet, Melissa Ribley, was laughing as were a few others.
When it came time for me to leave the vet check and start down the backwards Tevis Trail, she at first refused to leave her buddy Raven. She spun around and around and I had to whack her with the end of the reins a few times before she finally relented and started down the trail. A few miles down, there was the eventual winner coming towards me, having already completed his second 25 mile loop. It was Mark Montgomery and his Pinto Mustang, Chief. Not too far behind was a young man on an Arab. Among the top ten riders that I passed were two Mules, who Sweetie was now obsessed with, and while ignoring all the horses, she had something to say to both of them when they passed, in her deep stud voice. I told Sue later that maybe she should breed her to a Jack so she could have her own mule.
I ended out doing almost the entire second 25 miles alone, and kinda slow. To get credit for completing the miles as drag rider, Melissa told me I had to do it faster than I did the first half. I found out later, when the second drag rider finally caught up with me, that this wasn't really true. Drag riders aren't under the same time constraints as the entrants to get credit for a completion, as we have to handle emergencies, etc. I was glad to hear that as I was about an hour late at the finish. I finished at 6:45. It was a long day.
Crossing Finish Line
The barbeque was over and no one thought to save anything for me! I scraped together some food from the cooler. The boots stayed on fine, but with all the rocks, and her feet still being a bit soft from all the April rain, she was a little footsore at the end, but otherwise had all A's and B's on her vet scores. So it was good conditioning for Tevis. long, slow distance.
Finish line vet check with Melissa Ribley, DVM
I was sore for three days! I need to get in better shape! Sweetie's weight looked good after this, so at least she was getting in shape. Two weeks later on Mother's Day, Sue got into an accident while riding with me on a hot day. This time it wasn't a simple fall, and I spent 20 minutes trying to extricate her out from under her horse where she was pinned after he took a bad trip and fell hard. More about this on the next blog! And this time I'll publish it in a timely manner! I promise! Also I'll be reporting on finishing two days in a row of fifties at the Wild West Ride in Nevada City.

Arsenal fans - put your minds to rest. Hector Bellerin is not going back to Barcelona. Or so he says.
The Barca-born right-back came through the youth system at the Nou Camp and has been linked with a return to the Catalans.
However, when asked what he would do if Barcelona came calling right now, he responded: "I wouldn't pick up the phone!" Cue fits of hysterical laughter.
Manchester City are also reportedly interested in the 21-year-old flier, who has established himself as a key member of Arsene Wenger's side.
And the Frenchman is keen to tie him down to a new deal, hinting he deserves a significant rise on his current £50,000-a-week wages.
Wenger said: "Of course his future is at Arsenal. That's why I'm surprised by the speculation.
"He has nearly three years to go (on his current contract) and we always try get the players to the level where we think they deserve to be.
In pictures: Arsenal 0-0 Middlesbrough
"So we will certainly try to extend his contract, but for me, his long-term future is here.
"He has been absolutely fantastic. Let's not forget that his first game (against Borussia Dortmund in 2014) he had a nightmare when I played him and he was the year before (on loan) at Watford, were he didn't play much.
"His progress has been absolutely spectacular because he has top mental strength. I think he loves to be here and he has responsibilities already in the dressing room for such a young age, it's something remarkable."

Congress, courts must help Trump drain EPA swamp
The Trump Administration has an opportunity to reverse overreach by the EPA and other federal agencies -- but Congress and even the Courts have a role to play, according to CFACT policy advisor Larry Bell. Indeed. even the simplest actions by the Pruitt-led EPA or the Trump Administation in general will likely be challenged in federal courts by those with vested interests in the status quo.

Edward Smith set seemingly modest goals when he decided to buy his first home. He wanted it to be in the city, in move-in condition and, most of all, he wanted it to be affordable.
Now, three years later, Smith, an employee at Church Hospital, has found what he wanted. Smith is the first person to buy one of seven town homes being built on a long vacant lot in the 2300 block of McCulloh St., on the western fringe of Reservoir Hill.
"Affordability was the main thing that drew me here," said a beaming Smith. He joined Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke and other city officials at a ceremony to celebrate the on-going construction of the homes.

We're going to Bali and Singapore - any tips (oh and Squeeeeeeeee!)(21 Posts)
We are out there in late July/early August. Family wedding so first week in Bali, then second week in Singapore. In Bali we will be in Seminyak. In Singapore, we will be in Singapore.
I am hugely excited. This is a big deal for us, and it is my first time out or Europe, and the first time on a plane for the kids. I am burning most of the rest of my leave, and it is costing a small fortune.
Accomodation is sorted.
So, There is me, DH, DS1(24), DS2(13), DD(6 going on 7)
What should we do, see, etc? Should we hire a car in Bali?
Thanks in advance.
Wow, lucky you!
Kuta in Bali is pretty horrid. If you get a chance to visit lovina, I would. We did a great boat trip as the sun came up to see dolphins. I have never seen so many in my life, it was amazing & the snorkelling there was great too.
Singapore is very interesting. Obv Orchard rd if shopping's your thing & Haji lane is great. Geylang for fab food, botanic gardens are gorgeous. The zoo is a must, imo. Their version of the London eye is worth doing (can't remember the name) & it's touristy, but I still love to have a Singapore Sling at the Long Bar of the Raffles hotel.
And the airport is possibly the best in the world!
Oh thank you Bartle
The bride and groom live in Singapore so I have heard about the Botanic gardens.
The boat trip sounds fabulous.
In Bali, try to fit in a trip to Ubud. It's great for shopping and there's lots of lovely places to eat. There are also some beautiful walks through the paddy fields which are right next to town. If you like monkeys the monkey forest is very popular but beware, they are super confident examples of the species!
In Singapore agree with Botanical Gardens and a wander round Raffles with a drink or afternoon tea, if you're feeling flush, thrown in. Eating at the Hawker stalls which are in all areas is highly recommended...delicious, freshly cooked cheap local food which is very welcome in a rather expensive city.
Have a fantastic time!
Make sure you visit sentosa island when you are in Singapore. We had a great time there.
Another vote for Sentosa, Raffles, Gardens on the Bay and the Botanic Gardens. Sentosa has Universal Studios, a huge new aquarium, a luge and a great water park.
A new $160 million river-themed wildlife park, River Safari (home to Pandas Kai Kai and Jia Jia) opened a week ago. I haven't been yet but it looks fab from the pictures. It is next to the zoo.
I'd also recommend The Night Safari, a trip on a bum boat on the river after dark, a visit to the rooftop of Marina Bay Sands, a trip on the Flyer, an evening walk round the bay (start and finish at the Esplanade and enjoy a cool beer afterwards, the walk takes about an hour and a half), a drink at Clarke Quay, coffee at The Fullerton Hotel (the stunning former post office built by the British) or a drink at Dempsey Hill (the former army camp which is now restaurants, bars and quirky stores).
Another vote for Sentosa here.
Singapore also have a science centre that the younger kids would probably enjoy.
Can't speak for Bali, but don't plan too much for Singapore as you will not believe the humidity. It is 'only' about 30 degrees there but the humidity really does wipe you out. Remember the suncream.
good news is lots of stuff is indoors - but obviously you do want to see the outside. The Botanic Gardens are amazing (and I think there's now an MRT station near) and there's a great food court there. Wander round Raffles - you can have tea and cake there for a not-too-stupid sum. If you can stand the heat, Singapore has green and wild bits in the centre too for walking. Little India is also interesting and there are some lovely temples; you can visit, just follow the instructions about shoes.
Sentosa is just a theme park - don't go at weekends! I loved the zoo in the daytime - you can walk round with plenty of shady seats. It's an all day thing. As well as the other things listed, visit the Fountain of Wealth in the Suntec centre - quite a sight and you can also 'touch the water' for luck. :-) Great food court there too, go for the workers ones not the expensive restaurants.
don't bother shopping, you can do that anywhere and the days of Singapore being ultra-cheap are long gone.
Get MRT passes for everyone and you touch in and out on buses and the metro.
it is an amazing, fascinating, clean and safe city. With British plugs and drinkable water. :-)
chicken rice, chicken rice, sigh...
This is brilliant stuff. Thank you all.
Shopping is not really a leisure activity for us. Am looking forward to local food and seeing something completely new though.
excellent. Eat at food courts or hawker centres, not in the 'posh' restaurants or the 'western-style' delis - you can get chocolate brownies anyway but there is nothing like local Singaporean food!
If you like monkeys the monkey forest is very popular but beware, they are super confident examples of the species!
And if you go near a pregnant female expect to be chased.
You will find that the hotel will be able to book a coach for the day with a driver and guide. I would not hire a car in Bali.
I was with a bunch of Aussie surfers so we negotiated the bus and where we wanted to go. In the evening they dropped us of at a beach with loads of fish restaurants on the beach itself.
Do not, under any circumstances buy durian fruit. It stinks, really really stinks and tastes as bad.
Do go shopping in Bali and barter hard. It is fun and you get some lovely materials/batik.
If you buy water insist the top is still on, turn it upside down to shake it, no one will be offended.
If you see someone washing outside do not look, that is really offensive. Many Balinese don't have a bathroom so use the local river stream, you have to pretend they are invisible.
Singapore - do again look at the shops, especially if you want anything electrical. You must, it is the law, have a Singapore sling in the Raffles hotel.
Do not take any chewing gum into Singapore and do remember to flush the toilet, you can be fined if you don't.
Are you flying back from Changi Airport? It has a swimming pool so put your bathing gear in hand luggage. I've mainly used tho pool when changing flights and after 12 hours it is the most wonderful thing.
hopefully no-one needs to be reminded to flush the toilet...
the comment about durians reminds me - when you go on the Singapore MRT you'll see a sign that looks like a hedgehog, crossed-through. This is 'no durians' - you can't take them on public transport. I quite liked the taste but the smell is indeed horrible.
The MRT is also a no eating and no drinking zone, keeps things clean. If you are over 5 foot 5 watch out for the handles hanging from the ceiling of the carriage, too!
Thank you all again. This is really helpful. I am taking notes!
Will warn dh re mrt, as he is 6'6"
having read Neil Humphrey's 'notes from an even smaller island' remind your husband to duck!
great book - pick it up in Singapore if you see it. There are sequels too.
Just one warning: I almost drowned in Semyniak. And I am a very good swimmer, I'm a lifeguard and I wasn't even so far, water till my waist more or less. But then there are the waves and the strangest current ever. Each wave took me further toward the open sea. And my DH and more or less 10 friends were just lying on the beach in front of me, and none took notice.
We were staying in Legian, which is between Kuta and Seminyak, and the water there is far more safe. Be sure to ask at the reception about currents and danger on their beach.
Night safari at Singapore Zoo is good. Also Botanic Gardens. Also the river cruise and Clarke Quay, the National Museum, and the Battle Box and the park there. I'd like to go to the Gardens on the Bay (looks a bit like the Eden Project from photos). It is really easy to get around SG by MRT. Yes, it is v humid. Carry a water bottle, and an umbrella for both rain and sunshine. Walk slowly. Stop often!
You've got quite a mixed party there, OP! I bet the middle one oscillates between being an adult and a child, depending on what's going on!
In Bali I have stayed at Kuta, which is v busy and the beach is a bit tacky. I hear Seminyak is better. Traffic is a bit crazy in Kuta. There are many lovely temples and beaches within easy driving distance. Not too expensive to hire a driver and minibus.
Thanks for the warning Gordon. We had heard that the beach has strong currents, but after reading your post we will keep any swimming to the pools at the villa.
Marjorie, there are other family members staying at villas on the same site with kids of all ages, so it is going to be fun.
It's just semyniak that I found dangerous. Legian is safe, Nusa Dua and sanur even more because of the coral reef. If you go to L/N/S , you must try the sea, the water is sooooooo warm, it's a bliss.
Oh Bali is wonderful! I stayed in a fantastic hotel in Kuta so really enjoyed it, and it's a great base from which to explore the south of the island (temple in the sea etc.).
You just book where you want to go and they pick you up and drop you at your hotel. Including for the ferry to the Gili islands.
Ubud is amazing, very laid back, amazing temples, some nice cafes and wonderful shops to browse in.
I did a great eco bike tour from there. Going through villages and stopping off at different places. Again they pick you up and drop you at your guest house.
Ubud is lovely - great shops, restaurants and temples. A monkey did jump on me at the Monkey Forest - but just kept still and everything was fine.
IMO Kuta is awful and to be avoided.
Singapore - Zoo, night safari, new hotel and gardens at Marina bay, botanical gardens, good museum on Sentosa about Singapore in WW2, Raffles hotel. I love Little India - some great temples all within walking distance of metro stop and great food too.
I love Bali, we're planning our fourth trip for next year and I'm already a tiny bit excited.
Get out of the tourist bit at the bottom and take yourself up north for a couple of days. The rice paddies in the middle are stunning and you can climb Gunung Agung at the right time of year.
Make sure you go to Ibu Oka's for Babi Guling whilst in Ubud. Lovely lovely roast pork mmmm. We always go on a Sunday for a Bali Sunday roast!
Try and take some time to visit one of the directional temples, they protect Bali from the spirits in the sea and are lovely. Also, if you can wangle an invite to a funeral then do go, the whole village saves up for a really auspicious date and they exhume their dead and give them an amazing send off with big processions and lots of noise.
If you go to Ubud then head out to the artists village around Penestenan, it's really pretty and much less crowded than Monkey Forest Road and the surrounds.
I love Bali <dreams......>
Have fun!

Word Origin for be
- Belgium
present plural indicative of be (q.v.), from Old English earun (Mercian), aron (Northumbrian). Also from Old Norse cognates. In 17c., began to replace be, ben as first person plural present indicative in standard English. The only non-dialectal survival of be in this sense is the powers that be. But in southwest England, we be (in Devonshire us be) remains non-standard idiom as a contradictory positive ("You people aren't speaking correct English." "Oh, yes we be!").
square unit of 10 meters on each side, 1819, from French, formed 1795 by decree of the French National Convention, from Latin area "vacant piece of ground" (see area).
Old English beon, beom, bion "be, exist, come to be, become, happen," from Proto-Germanic *biju- "I am, I will be." This "b-root" is from PIE root *bheue- "to be, exist, grow, come into being," and in addition to the words in English it yielded German present first and second person singular (bin, bist, from Old High German bim "I am," bist "thou art"), Latin perfective tenses of esse (fui "I was," etc.), Old Church Slavonic byti "be," Greek phu- "become," Old Irish bi'u "I am," Lithuanian bu'ti "to be," Russian byt' "to be," etc. It also is behind Sanskrit bhavah "becoming," bhavati "becomes, happens," bhumih "earth, world."
The modern verb to be in its entirety represents the merger of two once-distinct verbs, the "b-root" represented by be and the am/was verb, which was itself a conglomerate. Roger Lass ("Old English") describes the verb as "a collection of semantically related paradigm fragments," while Weekley calls it "an accidental conglomeration from the different Old English dial[ect]s." It is the most irregular verb in Modern English and the most common. Collective in all Germanic languages, it has eight different forms in Modern English:
BE (infinitive, subjunctive, imperative)
AM (present 1st person singular)
ARE (present 2nd person singular and all plural)
IS (present 3rd person singular)
WAS (past 1st and 3rd persons singular)
WERE (past 2nd person singular, all plural; subjunctive)
BEING (progressive & present participle; gerund)
BEEN (perfect participle).
The paradigm in Old English was:
|1st pres.
|ic eom
ic beo
|we sind(on)
we beoð
|2nd pres.
|þu eart
þu bist
|ge sind(on)
ge beoð
|3rd pres.
|he is
he bið
|hie sind(on)
hie beoð
|1st pret.
|ic wæs
|we wæron
|2nd pret.
|þu wære
|ge waeron
|3rd pret.
|heo wæs
|hie wæron
|1st pret. subj.
|ic wære
|we wæren
|2nd pret. subj.
|þu wære
|ge wæren
|3rd pret. subj.
|Egcferð wære
|hie wæren
The "b-root" had no past tense in Old English, but often served as future tense of am/was. In 13c. it took the place of the infinitive, participle and imperative forms of am/was. Later its plural forms (we beth, ye ben, they be) became standard in Middle English and it made inroads into the singular (I be, thou beest, he beth), but forms of are claimed this turf in the 1500s and replaced be in the plural. For the origin and evolution of the am/was branches of this tangle, see am and was.

Ghent Workgroup Issues Survey to Develop New PDF/X-4 Standards and Best Practices
Thursday, March 28, 2013
Press release from the issuing company
Ghent, Belgium - Ghent Workgroup (GWG), in its continuing effort to provide the global graphic arts industry with free and easy to use specifications and best practices, issues its latest survey requesting industry feedback regarding use and current needs when working with PDF/X-4. Note that these needs can include both print production and e-media production requirements.
Please click here to take the brief survey.
David Zwang, GWG Chairman, says, "The goal of the newest GWG survey is to discover how changes in the new PDF standards are, and could be, contributing to optimizing the production process within the industry.
"We are constantly working to identify new areas where specifications and best practices can be used to help the industry become more efficient in its design and production efforts. The results of the survey will be reviewed and used in the development of new specifications and best practices."
Based on the results of the survey, the GWG can focus continued development and educational outreach efforts to address the pressing issues that our international constituents in the graphic arts community are facing.
The PDF/X-4 survey is the latest in a series produced by the GWG in the past few months, alone. The most recent survey, completed by the GWG Cross-Media Subcommittee, assessed the cross media needs and interests of publishing, production, and creative professionals worldwide.
Two significant findings from that particular survey included the fact that the proliferation of mobile devices has propelled cross media publishing's growth; as well as evidence that 75% of jobs received are destined for both print and e-media.
Based on the findings from the Cross Media survey, the GWG is currently developing new standards and best practices for publishing, creation, processing, workflow, exchange and output in cross media environments.
Zwang says, "We were very pleased with the participation in, and feedback from, our last Cross Media survey, and greatly appreciate the industry's take on the very important PDF/X-4 subject area as well."

In just a few steps you'll be on your way to easier weeding.
Open up Silhouette Studio.
Holding down the shift key down draw a straight line. Shift just makes sure it's perfectly straight.
Click the icon to open the Replicate window. Scroll down and click on the advanced options. Do not panic. :)
Moving down I pick 'Custom Position' and then I set my position with the X and Y coordinates. I'm not good at math or geography so don't ask me too much about this nonsense...but keep X at 0 (If you wanted lines across the page instead of down the page you'd change the X number). Change the Y to the distance you want the lines. I'm going with 1 inch. (You will likely adjust these in a future step.)
Now select the line you drew. And then you're ready to hit 'Replicate' (which is just slightly further down in the window out of my screen shot). And you'll get 6 horizontal lines evenly spaced 1 inch part on your page. (Wipe your brow, you did it!)
At this point you can go find your design and open it. If you opened your design first before drawing your lines, you need to make sure it's 'in front.' I do this by Cutting/Pasting it.
The position of the design and the lines is what is going to help you weeding it. So...what you are looking to avoid is creating extra small spaces. I have circled the problem areas. If you leave the lines like they are now you'll have to weed two little pieces of the counter inside the R instead of one since the line splits right down the middle of the counter. Same thing for the counter in the O.
Once all your lines are positioned nicely select all of the lines but NOT the actual design you want to cut. Right click and make the lines a compound path. Be sure you DO NOT include the design in the compound path.
Finally, highlight the lines and the design > Click the Modify Window icon and choose 'SUBTRACT ALL'.
Here's how it looks as you are weeding...(apologies this was from a different project, but it's the exact same technique).
Note: This post may contain affiliate links. By clicking on them and purchasing products through my links, I received a small commission. That's what helps fund Silhouette School so I can keep buying new Silhouette-related products to show you how to get the most out of your machine!
Thanks for coming to class today at Silhouette School. If you like what you see, I'd love for you to pin it!

|Ming-Ming Love
|Beyblade character
|Japanese name
Ming-Ming Love is a fictional character in the anime and manga series of Beyblade, voiced by Stephanie Beard in the English version and Aya Hirano in the original Japanese version. She only appears in the third season, Beyblade G-Revolution. She is a new singing pop diva raising to fame as a both a singer and a Beyblader. Her Beyblade is called Venus, and she works for Boris in the BEGA League.
Usually, she portrays herself to be a sweet young girl. However, she has another, tougher side when she blades. It is easy to tell which from her size and by her eyes. Tough Ming-Ming (called Queen Form in the original) is taller and has a serious look in her eyes while innocent Ming-Ming (called Loli Form) is shorter and has a typical anime cute set of eyes. She tends to spend most of her time in her innocent form as most bladers are easily deceived by her sweet and cute appearance. Her attitude depends on her form, but generally she is a very confident girl with a lot of pride. She is a fanboy favourite in the series. After (and including) the episode, Runaway Daichi, a running gag throughout the season is Kenny's uncontrollable crush on Ming-Ming. He even cheers her on during the BBA VS Bega match.
Being the poster girl for the BEGA league can have its perks. This obnoxious teen idol provides entertainment in the form of singing the praises of the BEGA organization. Don't let this fool you though, because she is also a top notch Beyblader. She also uses her singing to help her concentration during a match, as well as to distract her opponents.
As an amusing note, Ming-Ming is one of two known characters played by Aya Hirano which have tougher split personalities which only manifest during combat, the other being Kahlua (and Tequila) Marjoram of Galaxy Angel II.

|A global research consortium
Project 1: Vertical-aligned Graphene Interdigitated for ultra-sensitive NEMS
Vertical oriented graphene (VG) nanosheets have attracted growing interest for a wide range of applications ranging from energy storage, catalysis and field-emission to gas sensing, due to their unique orientation, exposed sharp edges, non stacking morphology and huge surface-to-volume ratio. However, controllable growth of vertical aligned graphene with uniform spacings between the sheet is extremely difficult due to delicate substrate/catalyst preparation, non-uniformity of substrate orientation and the nature of 2D material that inhibit them to freely standing and grow vertically like their allotrope, carbon nanotubes . In normal condition, graphene tends to grow horizontally attached to its catalyst.
Here we propose a novel method in enhancing vertically-aligned grown graphene directly from substrates. The substrate`s orientation, grating structured of catalyst, and application of electric and external magnetic field to the substrate are expected to guide the initial nucleation of carbon atoms to grow as vertical graphene. These vertically aligned graphene will be directly grown on interdigitated electrodes structure to utilize its high surface-to volume ratio to fabricate graphene-based NEMS supercapacitor. The mechanical and piezoelectric behavior of vertical graphene will be evaluated to study its suitability as ultra-high sensitivity NEMS pressure sensors. Finally, the as-grown graphene will be integrated in cavities of photonic crystal for application in NEMS biomolecule sensors.

The CBI today carried out searches at 12 locations after registering a corruption case against RJD supremo and former Railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family members including his son Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav. The searches started at seven in the morning and were spread out at 12 locations in Patna, Ranchi, Bhubaneswar and Gurugram.
According to the CBI, the case is of criminal conspiracy (120-B), cheating (420) under IPC and corruption. Between 2004 and 2014, a conspiracy was hatched in pursuance of which BNR hotels of Indian Railways located at Puri and Ranchi were first transferred to the IRCTC and later on for its operations, maintenance and upkeep, it was given on lease to a private firm Sujata Hotel Pvt Ltd based in Patna. Allegation is that during this process, tender process was rigged and manipulated and the conditions were tweaked to help the private party (Sujata Hotel).
In return, three acre land in western Patna was given to Delight Marketing which is known to the family of Lalu Yadav at a very low cost and subsequently between the period 2010 to 2014, this land was further transferred to another company Lara Projects owned by family members of Lalu Yadav. This transfer also took place at a very low price. Whereas the land was valued at 32 crore as per the circle rate, it was transferred to merely 65 lakh to Lara Projects.
The case was registered Lalu, his wife Rabri Devi, son Tejashwi Yadav and Sarla Gupta, wife of Prem Chand Gupta, former union minister. Others named as accused in the FIR include Vijay Kochhar, Vinay Kochhar, both directors of Sujata Hotels and owner of Chanakya Hotel, Delight marketing company, now known as Lara Projects and the then IRCTC Managing Director PK Goel.
In 2001, a decision was taken to handover management of catering services of Indian Railways, including its hotels to IRCTC. Two such hotels namely BNR Hotels in Ranchi and Puri were also identified and a MoU was signed between the Railways and IRCTC on March 19, 2004. Lalu Yadav, the then railway minister, entered into criminal conspiracy with owners of Sujata hotels, Sarla Gupta, wife of his close associate Prem chand Gupta (an RJD MP in Rajya Sabha) and IRCTC officials for 'undue pecuniary advantage to himself and others'.
It is alleged that Vinay Kochhar on February 25, 2005 sold commercial property in the form of three acres of land in Patna through 10 sale deeds for Rs 1.47 crore to Delight marketing in which Sarla Gupta was a director as a front benami holder on behalf of Lalu. The land was sold to the company at a price which was below circle rates and market rates and was falsely shown as agriculture land to evade substantial stamp duty.
It was disclosed during the preliminary enquiry of the CBI that the land was sold by the Kochhars to Delight and the payment for the same was arranged 'surreptitiously' by the company in the form of investment of Delight through Ahluwali contractors and its promoter Bikramjeet Singh Ahluwalia. On the day when the sale deeds were executed by the Kochhars in favour of DMCL on February 25, 2005, the Railway Board on the same day informed IRCTC about its decision for transfer of BNR hotels to IRCTC on 'as is where is basis'. The BNR hotels were transferred to Sujata Hotels through a rigged and manipulated tender process managed by PK Goel, the then MD IRCTC.
As per the CBI enquiry, Indian Railways sought bids for developing, operating and maintaining Rail Ratna Hotels on September 16, 2006. To 'restrict' competition for BNR hotels in Ranchi and Puri, the IRCTC officials issued a corrigendum making a reference about commencement of sale for bid documents for BNR hotels, it alleged. The conditions were further tweaked through another corrigendum in order to make Sujata Hotel contender for the bid.
Yadav, as Railway Minister, according to the CBI, was aware about the whole process and was keeping a track of the tender proceedings. It surfaced while over 15 bid documents were received for both the hotels, IRCTC has no records of bidders other than Sujata Hotels. It is also alleged that with an intention to render undue pecuniary gains to Sujata hotels, bid of another hotel was deliberately and unreasonably given low marks under technical evaluation. As a result, Sujata Hotel remained the only bidder in financial evaluation and was qualified.
After the tender was awarded to Sujata Hotel, the ownership of Delight marketing also changed hands from Sarla Gupta to Rabri Devi and Tejaswi Yadav between 2010 and 2014. By this time Lalu had demitted the office of Railway Minister.
The value of property which was sold by Kochhars to Delight Marketing at 1.47 crore in 2005 had spiralled to Rs 32.5 crore as per circle rate and Rs 94 crore as per market rate. The shares of a company having a networth of Rs 32.5 crore was transferred by the family member of P C Gupta to the family members of Lalu Prasad Yadav for a nominal amount of Rs 64 lakh.

As with all software, every now and then there is a new stable release of Nagios Core. Your Nagios installation will let you know when a newer version is available via a blue infobox on the home page, with a link to the download section of the Nagios website. These instructions cover upgrading to the latest version of Nagios 4 Core Free Edition on a CentOS server but should also work on Nagios 3 installations.
Backup your current nagios configuration using the following command to save the file in your current directory;
tar zcvf ./nagios-backup.tgz -C / usr/local/nagios
Go to http://www.nagios.org/download/ and navigate to the Nagios Core download page. Click Download under the Core DIY Source option. Enter your details to receive updates from Nagios (or click skip to download). Then select the latest stable version to download the tarball to your PC.
Copy the file over the Nagios server /tmp directory (using WinSCP or the like). Then extract the source code from the tarball, using the following commands (substituting the version number for the version you are upgrading to);
tar zxvf nagios-4.0.8.tar.gz
cd nagios-4.0.8
Run the configure script including details of the group used to control external command file permissions, then compile and install the source code with the following commands;
./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd
make all
make install
Check to make sure the Nagios configuration file pass the "pre-flight test" before performing a restart by running the following command;
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
Finally restart using the updated version of Nagios by running the following command;
service nagios restart
Then check the webpage to make sure everything looks good.
You are now up and running with the latest version of Nagios Core DIY. It might be a good time to check that any plugins you might use are also up to date.
thanks for sharing, guys, but first of all backup ur hosts.cfg file...
new in nagios 4 http://www.nagios.org/whatsnew
Just to clarify, is this for updating to a new major release (3 to 4), or just a minor update like 4.x to 4.y??
The update I did when I wrote this was from 4.0.6 to 4.0.8 so just a minor update. From the referenced article it should also work to update a Nagios core 3 system as well but you will also need to delete the .html files that are now .php in Core 4.
OMG dude. Ive been all over the nagios documentation, or so i thought. googled and binged my brains out.
Your the man, worked like a charm.
I am going to upgrade from 4.07 to 4.08
Thanks ruwan2498, I have added backing up current config as first step because you raised a good point (unless you already control it via git or something but out of scope for this KB)
Not sure what went wrong for me.. was running nagios 3.5 (the service was listed as nagios3). I completed this install successfully, passed the flight test and everything. But when I go to run "service nagios restart" I get "unrecognized service".

FAIRGROUND rides on the site of Southport's former Pleasureland amusement park attracted hundreds of families over the weekend.
The attraction, renamed New Pleasureland, opened its gates to the public on Saturday – and Dreamstorm boss Norman Wallis said the park's first week in operation had been successful.
The 42-year-old managing director, who had been working more than 12 hours a day to get the funfair up and running, said: "We've been working very hard to make this happen for Southport and we just hope the people of Merseyside and Lancashire will support us so we can encourage more people from around the country to come to New Pleasureland.
"It's going well so far and people seem to be enjoying themselves. We've put on a good show, got a lot of rides and it's looking good. I'm sure we'll get even more people visiting as the word spreads."
He added the firm has long-term ambitions within Southport's leisure industry and said: "We hope to have some kind of attraction in Southport for a very, very long time to come."
After 93 years in the town, Pleasureland was closed down last September by then owner Blackpool Pleasure Beach, after being deemed "unsustainable".
Leisure operator Dreamstorm obtained a temporary lease to run funfairs on the site from Sefton Council, which bought the land earlier this year.
Despite a series of vandal attacks, the company cleared the site and installed more than 20 major rides and attractions, including all-spinning, shaking and swinging rides such as the Mexican Wave, Megaspin, Orbiter and Miami Surfer.
One of the highlights was set to be the Frisbee, in which passengers are strapped into a rotating carriage that swings in a pendulum motion.
Updated versions of classic attractions are also on site, including a ghost train, log flume and funhouse.
And Mr Wallis, who has three children – Maximus, two, Marcus, four, and Yazmina, 15, assured thrillseekers that as the season continues, some larger rides, such as rollercoasters, will also be introduced.
New Pleasureland is open every day from 10am until late.

Hibs host Motherwell on Sunday 8th April, 2012, with kickoff at 12:45. This match is currently being shown LIVE on ESPN.
This season the surprise package has undoubtedly been Motherwell, but there are few who will admit to that same feeling about the fate of Hibs, who are just outside trouble. A six point cushion separates them from the even more wretched Dunfermline, and as a result Motherwell will be looking to be ruthless and win this in a style befitting of their newly-found 'big club' status.
This could actually be a pretty entertaining contest, as the gap in Scotland is never as big as expected between the top and bottom, so don't miss out on it.
Hibs v Motherwell is LIVE on ESPN.

Palm Beach For the Rest of Us
Sunday, November 18, 2007
To reach any East Coast beach in Florida, you must cross the Intracoastal, the brackish waterway that divides the mainland from the seashore. And nowhere is the cultural gap between surf and turf more noticeable than on the Intracoastal approach to Palm Beach.
Pedaling my beach cruiser from West Palm Beach across the bridge to "the island," as the uber-rich enclave of Palm Beach is called in these parts, even the perfectly aligned trees on Royal Palm Way seemed to peer down their slender trunks at my questionable attire.
Back at West Palm's Grandview Gardens Bed & Breakfast, where I stayed during my October visit to South Florida, proprietor Rick Rose had worried openly about my flip-flops, tank top and shorts ensemble.
"You might feel weird," Rose had warned me, ever so diplomatically. I'd just told him I was heading to the Breakers, the renowned Palm Beach hotel, for a pedicure.
"Entering the Breakers is sort of like entering Westminster Abbey," he said. "But it's the offseason, so you should be fine."
The first time I'd visited the resort, it had been for my friend Amy's wedding reception. At that time, the place had seemed more hallowed than the church where she had said her vows. Right after the open bar had ended, my friends and I -- fresh out of college and all class -- bolted back across the bridge to the more-affordable watering holes in West Palm.
Now, pedaling my way toward the guard gate at the Breakers, I couldn't help but congratulate myself for making it back.
* * *
It's not that I scoff at the lifestyles of those who are rich and possibly famous. It's just that I can't relate. Living in Orlando for six years, where flip-flops and tank tops pass for evening wear, I often wondered: Could a normal person of average means find some semi-affordable fun in Palm Beach, the playground of the ultra-rich?
Palm Beach roughly marks the start of the tropics in South Florida, and the differences between Central Florida and South Florida are vast. The water takes on a deep-blue Caribbean hue in these parts. And winters are milder, with average highs in the mid-70s. The ficus, royal poinciana and banyan trees here won't grow in the colder climes to the north.
When railroad tycoon Henry Flagler began developing the island for tourism in the late 19th century, he found not only a perfect winter climate in Palm Beach but also an idyllic setting: Coconut cargo that had washed ashore during the 1876 shipwreck of the Providencia, en route from the Caribbean to Europe, led to the planting of a cash crop of palm trees on the island (hence Palm Beach's name).
Flagler opened Palm Beach's first resort, the Royal Poinciana Hotel, on the shores of Lake Worth in 1894, followed by the Palm Beach Inn in 1896, on the oceanfront. The latter property became the Breakers and the preferred wintering grounds of America's elite, including the Vanderbilts, Carnegies and Rockefellers.


text: Hi all, I run an e-commerce site using Magneto, an open source web shop platform. There's an extension for Magento that just came out that uses webkit-enabled browsers on Android and iPh*ne to view our catalog in a mobile optimized way. I tested it out with my Droid X and my partner's iPh*ne and some things are working on my X and some aren't. For example, I can browse categories and search and use the bottom tool bar (you'll see) but I can't click through the individual product pages (one time I got through to one some how, but I could not view details, add to cart, add review, etc.). The iPhone version works fine surprisingly. Could a few of my fellow Droids test the developer's demo site out and tell me what's working for you and what's not quickly? (and also what you think / what Droid you've got?) The demo (mobile) site is at m-demo.snm-portal.com. The Developer's site is: mobileTouch - Magento ecommerce mobile SNM-Portal. I very much appreciate your time. Thanks a lot.
