Guys all in-between animation looks wacky, it's not like it never happened before. QUALITY is only still shots that look unintentionally wacky.
Example of QUALITY:
Spoiler for All in here:
Oh wow Jan-Poo that's incredibly mean XD Especially considering a popular theory involving ponies.

Beato's sudden change of personality is very surprising. I just can't seem to be able to get used to it. The image of cruel!Beato is stuck in my mind and I can neither understand her current behaviour nor can I believe my eyes that she's really crying and suddenly so nice to Battler ^^;;

Edit to add: it seems odd to me that she'd be willing to resurrect Shannon--in both this chapter and the last, Shannon talking about her love for George before her death pretty much guaranteed Beato would go into a ranting fury. Something about the two of them (due to her being held prisoner by Kinzo?) really enrages her. OTOH, she claims it was her magic that got the two of them together in the first place...
And, true to Beato no longer being an Endless Witch, the resurrection only lasted long enough for Shannon to die again.

Have some salt
Good episode. Eva-Beatrice is just plain scary on what she might do to Jessica. I also enjoyed the scene with George and Shannon, as well as Natushi and Krauss. It actualy comes to a point where I know who the heck everyone is. The emotion on this episode is really nicely done, aside from the silly art as usual. 8/10
Though I don't really trust Beatrice's change of heart just yet... Placing trust on her might just be to her own advantage despite her apparent goodwill planned for next episode.

I just watched the subs. I ended up giving this episode an 8. The biggest things working against it were a slightly disjointed feeling to the scenes. I don't really have a problem with anything they cut, though I would have liked to see the otherworld when Shannon was resurrected. The transitions were just a bit weird at time, and I felt like some of the dialogue they came up with to summarize the lengthier swathes of text in the VN, such as Eva, Battler, Jessica and Nanjo discovering that George, Krauss, and Natsuhi were gone, weren't very well written. And of course, yes, the Ange mention was clunky and careless at best. Well, we'll see.
Oh, and poor George didn't get his ~I believe I can fly~ moment. However, I suppose that they have driven home the whole "magic is fueled by belief" idea in a number of other instances. Still, for the anime viewers, take note: in the VN, rather than turn into a butterfly, Beatrice actually taught George to fly in order to cross over to the mansion. It was pretty cool.
The only other thing that bugged me was a line they gave Jessica in the next-to-last scene, where she acknowledges, or seems to acknowledge, Eva-B's voice. I swear that wasn't in the VN, though someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I just remember noting to myself while I did my replay a few weeks ago that all of Jessica's dialogue seems to be in response to Nanjo's responses.
Hm, then again. Maybe that line is in there! "That voice" ... regardless of who it really refers to, I would say then that if she heard a voice besides Nanjo's, it was one she was familiar with, and perhaps was surprised to hear?

User of the "Fast Draw"
First thing, when the heck did Battler get a little sister!? Yeah I assume by her age a few years back but the point is only now does this information comes out. You'd think this would be a pretty important concern from Battler's point of view. Another good question is why isn't she there with everyone? As it probably was supposed to this definitely opens up a ton of questions regarding Ange.
I knew the animosity was building up but didn't think it'd get to the point where Beato is going up against Evatrice. Not that I don't think she's wrong in lending help to Jessica just that it's pretty reckless considering her abilities aren't where they were. Plus she's outgunned right now. She still have the goats? Well I suppose since it's turning into a fight the Stakes will switch to the boss they like more. But still the problem comes down to the heavy artillery Siestas. Still this is a very risky move.
At least the Siesta's attack got a better showing this time. Let's face it a complicated firing sequence just to shoot down a straight hallway isn't all that special. Definitely lives up to the reputation of no escape with that shot this time. Definitely the only chance you have is to get them before they fire since the attack is too flexible.
Just impressed with the grief from the characters this time around. I mean everyone pretty much had a strong reaction at some point. Also went along with the continued development for Beato. Sure it's been there a little but after losing her title she's really grown. Finally starting to get it. Has to look at things from a different perspective to those that only have one shot at living. I'm sure she'll be fine if she can survive the actual peril involved with that lunatic Evatrice on a rampage.
While I doubt she'll be saved from death wish the Jessica rescue plan the best of luck. Dying is one thing but going out while in the dark in terror just isn't right. Looks like it might be time for another Kanon last stand.

Ange is Battler's 6 year old sister, who was born to Kyrie and Rudolf. She's not at the family conference that year because she got sick the day before.

Anyways, seen the subs now and can give a proper rating. I'm going for an 8 because I was really pleased, if not as pleased as last week. My only complaint is Jessica vs. Eva because that just looks really wrong. If they wanted to change it, I wouldn't complain that much (in both versions Eva accidentally pulled the trigger because Jessica startled her), but they should have either A) omitted Nanjo blaming the discharge fire (because it so can't be the discharge looking at the Anime) or B) added a little more blood and screaming because Jessica just got shot in the fucking eye. I really wouldn't complain if they had it so Eva actually did hit her, because the end result is the same (Jessica is blinded and even more pissed at Eva), but the fact that they explained it the way it was in the VN but depicted it totally differently.
Voice-wise, this is probably the first episode since 5 that I wasn't thrilled with Ohara's performance. Not that it was bad, but it felt more downplayed here for some reason. Nice!Beato gave me more of a reaction last week. This week I honed in more on Itou's performance, which was really fantastic (except Eva-B's laugh when she confronts Nanjo...is it just me, or does that sound really...weird...?), and Inoue, who did a really great job with Jessica. I thought her panic and voicelessness there at the end really hammered in how terrifying it must be going blind when there's a killer in your midst (especially when you suspect that killer is the one who blinded you, knows you're weakened, and knows they can corner you easily). George's VA (forget the guy's name) did a good job, too. The George/Shannon scene had just as much emotion as the VN if you ask me, even without the whole 'George pulls her from the afterlife' thing.
Very pleased, can't wait for next week. My favorite scene from EP3 and possibly the entire series (tied with something from EP4) is coming up, and it might just be the make-or-break scenario for me. If they succeed, no matter how the fuck up EP4 I probably won't care...if they fail, I'll lose all hope entirely because at this point there's no way the pacing problems will be fixed for this season and EP4 is doomed.

Personally, I view scraps as a higher form of stash - a very virtuous form of stash, because they do not speak of grand schemes left undone or projects never got round to - they are evidence of industrious activity, of stash cut into, of potential realised, and thus don't engender that guilt by association which can assail the heartiest souls when gazing into the abyss of stash beyond any human need, stash enough to take the keenest needlewoman into old age and beyond.
|A modest proposal
|Scrap happy
The title is Sunday Morning Quilts which is evocative enough, but the sub title is Sort, Store, and Use Every Last Bit of Your Treasured Fabrics (note the Oxford comma, for which I have a soft spot). It is by two very talented quilters and bloggers, Amanda Jean Nyberg (Crazy Mom Quilts) and Cheryl Arkison.
Not only does it have the most enticing patterns for quilts made from scraps ...
|... almost as good as a slab of cake
|... and more fun than filing paperwork
... not to mention a pattern for colour coded patchwork scrap baskets. I want shelves just like that (well, maybe not the orange, but definitely the red and the blues).
The slab method of making scrap blocks inspired me to make this scrappy potholder - I decided that I wouldn't mind if the Head Chef made it greasy and scorched, because it was so quick to make, and just used up tiny leftovers (and more quilt batting leftovers too, yippee!).
|Scrappy or what?
I just made an 8.5in square slab and layered it with similar size squares of quilt wadding, Insul Bright (for reasons of Elfin Safety), and plain backing - although you could make that scrappy, too. I used some leftover premade wide bias binding - and for speed and utility's sake I just zigzagged round the edge to fix the front rather than hand stitch it. Too much of that sort of effort and I would have to forbid the Head Chef from using it, and this is not for display, just for everyday.
So Cheryl and Amanda Jean have quite opened my mind to the whole scrap universe, and made me realize that as long as one dimension is more than 2 x 1/4in for seam allowances, then really very few scraps are too small to keep. This concept has also freed me to throw away the really tinies, which can then be composted and thus recycled another way.
Oh what a good girl am I - recycling, reusing, ever the thrifty housewife. Forgive me if I go away and polish my halo.

As they head across the border tonight, the Astros' record matches that of 2005, when they started 15-29, lost again to slip to 15-30, then started playing well and advanced to the World Series.
It could happen again, right? Yeah, right.
Hold up. Wait. (RIP Nate Dogg.)
They say you're not paranoid if they're really out to get you. Well, it isn't déjà vu if you've really been there before, is it?
Didn't I write this exact same thing a year ago? I remember an opening sentence of "The Astros have walked the green mile in these cleats before."
The Astros haven't been this bad since … yep, you guessed it … last year. And I wrote about it then too.
Man, I need a vacation. Three birdies on the back nine yesterday coupled with some late-night viewing of the Astros' latest failure, and I find I am almost plagiarizing myself.
These rascals have the same 15-29 record this season as they had after 44 games last season. And it again matches the worst record in team history at this point of the season.
So much for the joy of playing the young guys, huh? Raise your hand if you called for that. Go ahead, don't be ashamed.
There is no more definition of a bad team than Michael Bourn's breakdown of the Astros to Zachary Levine after yesterday's defeat: "We pitch, we don't hit. We hit, we don't pitch."
Translation: "We stink."
Pitiful. And we don't even have fake Texans' practices to get us through the month.
• • •
Speaking of déjà vu, wasn't it exactly a year ago that I wrote an entry about Lying Floyd Landis coming clean on his performance-enhancing drug use, and accused Lance Armstrong of cheating too?
Tyler Hamilton, another former teammate of Armstrong's, noticed the date on the calendar, so he will go on 60 Minutes this Sunday to say Lance Armstrong used performance enhancing drugs. Really? Seriously?
I am curious, how many of you care?
Or perhaps a better question: how many of you thought Armstrong was clean in the first place?
Those of us who think over half of major leaguers were using PEDs aren't far off from the truth. Those of us who think 100 percent of elite cyclists used PEDs are dead-on accurate.
The Preakness is this weekend. In honor of that, check out the most memorable call of new NBA horse racing announcer Larry Collmus' career.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpSmprqptSk&w=425&h=349]
It was from a race at Monmouth Park last August. If you're like me and reluctant to click on video links, the two horses battling down the stretch were named Mywifeknownevrything and Thewifedoesntknow.
Smooth call from Collmus. Though I will always prefer Dave Johnson's "And down the stretch they come!"

NOTICE: Jetstream is in the beginning phases of production and staff are frequently updating the documentation. Please refer to the latest version of the Jetstream User Guide at Indiana University during this early user period.
Go here: Jetstream User Guide - latest version
Jetstream User Guide
System Overview
Jetstream is a user-friendly cloud environment designed to give researchers access to interactive computing and data analysis resources on demand, whenever and wherever they want to analyze their data. It provides a library of virtual machines designed to do discipline specific scientific analysis. Software creators and researchers will also be able to create their own customized virtual machines (VM) or their own private computing system within Jetstream.
Jetstream features a web-based user interface based on the popular Atmosphere cloud computing environment developed by the CyVerse (formerly known as the iPlant Collaborative) and extended to support science and engineering research generally. The operational software environment is based on OpenStack.
Jetstream is accessed via web interface (https://use.jetstream-cloud.org/) using XSEDE credentials via Globus Auth.
Jetstream is meant primarily for interactive research, small scale processing on demand, or as the backend to science gateways to send research jobs to other HPC or HTC resources. Jetstream is different in that you can work with GUIs that you couldn't otherwise use on most HPC systems.
Jetstream may be used for prototyping, for creating tailored workflows to either use at smaller scale with a handful of CPUs or to port to larger environments after doing your proof of concept work at a smaller level. Jetstream is not a typical High Performance Computing (HPC) or High Throughput Computing (HTC) environment and won't be used for large scale parallel processing or high-throughput computing.
Key Features
Jetstream utilizes Atmosphere, an easy to use web application, on-demand environment that is designed to accommodate computationally and data-intense research tasks, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) with advanced APIs; Platform as a Service (PaaS) for developing and deploying software to the science community; and Software as a Service (SaaS).
Some of the key features include:
- Access virtual machine images preconfigured with an operating system and software to help you do scientific computations in domain-specific tasks
- Find and use tools with the intuitive self-service portal
- Easily manage virtual machines
- Publish your own software suites, create your own work environments, and run the software for community use
- Integrate with existing infrastructure components using API services
- Easily generate and manage statistical reporting of user resources for total CPU hours and memory usages, total instances and applications launched by user, cloud monitoring, and on-demand intelligence resource allocation
Within Atmosphere, you launch an instance (a launched image of a virtual machine), selecting from the list of available images (a template of a virtual machine containing an installed operating system, software, and configuration). It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the Linux command-line as some actions require some degree of knowledge of the command-line interface.
System Configuration
The computing environment consists of two homogenous clusters at Indiana University and Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) with a test environment at the University of Arizona. The system provides over 1/2 a PetaFLOPS of computational capacity and 2 petabytes of block and object storage. The individual nodes contain two Intel "Haswell" processors, 128 GB of RAM, 2 terabytes of local storage, and 10 gigabit Ethernet networking. The system leverages 40 gigabit Ethernet for network aggregation and each of the production clusters connect to Internet2 at 100 Gbps. The physically distributed system allows Jetstream to be highly available and resilient. GlobusAuth is used for large-scale file transfer and authentication.

XSEDE Service Units and Jetstream
Jetstream allocations are measured in XSEDE Service Units (SUs). On Jetstream, SUs are consumed at a rate of 1 SU per vCPU hour. For more information on XSEDE Service Units, see the XSEDE KB document "On XSEDE, how are compute jobs charged?"
SU cost per hour for each Jetstream VM size is outlined in Virtual Machine (VM) Sizes and Configurations.
Virtual Machine (VM) Sizes and Configurations
Jetstream can be used in several different virtual machine (VM) sizes which are charged in service units (SUs) based on how much of the total system resource is used. The table below outlines the VM sizes created for Jetstream.
|VM Size
|Local Storage (GB)
|SU cost per hour
|XX Large
This allocation information may be subject to changes in the future.
If your work requires 24 GB of RAM and 60 GB of local storage, then you would request 10 SUs per hour to cover a single Large VM instance.
If your work requires 10 GB of local storage in 1 thread using 3 GB of RAM, then you would request 2 SUs per hour for a Small VM instance. You would then multiply by the number of hours you will use that size VM in the next year and multiply by the number of VMs you will need.
To calculate the number of SUs you will need in the next year, first estimate the number of hours you expect to work on a particular project. For example, if you typically work 40 hours per week and expect to spend 25% of your time on this project that would be 10 hours per week. Next, calculate the total number of hours per year for this project:
Total hours = 10 hours per week * 52 weeks per year
Total hours = 520
Finally, calculate the total SUs for the year for a single instance medium VM:
Total SUs = 520 hours per year * vCPUs
Total SUs = 520 hours per year * 6vCPUs Total SUs = 3120
If project requires more than 1 medium size VM multiply total SUs by the number of VMs that you will need:
Total SUs needed for 3 medium size VMs = 3 * 3120
Total SUs = 9360
Shutdown your VM properly. The calculations above assume that your VM is shutdown properly.
For information on submitting a Research Allocation Request, please see https://portal.xsede.org/successful-requests. Note that all allocations above the startup level require a strong justification for the time being requested.
System Access
After you have provisioned a VM you can access it by using:
- the Jetstream web interface, https://use.jetstream-cloud.org
- a VNC desktop interface (if a graphical user interface has been built into the image)
- ssh to a publicly accessible IP address (requires provisioning your VM with such an IP address and setting up sshd)
Find the public IP assigned to your instance from the VM command line. At this time, all VMs are provisioned with a public IP address but that this will change in the future. To find the public IP address for your VM, use
wget from the command line:
$ wget http://ipinfo.io/ip -qO -
Step-by-step guide
- To start the VM provisioning process, navigate to https://use.jetstream-cloud.org.
Click Login in the top right to authenticate using your XSEDE credentials.
On the Globus Auth screen click Continue.
Enter your XSEDE credentials.
After you type in your XSEDE username and password, it will ask you to confirm whether you will allow your credentials to be used to access Jetstream. If you wish to use Jetstream, click Allow. You may wish to review the terms of service and privacy policies linked on that page. Generally, you will only see this screen the first time you log into Jetstream. However, changes to Globus Auth might mean you see this screen on a later login to Jetstream.
To proceed, click Allow and the web interface to Jetstream will load.
Once you are authenticated via Globus Auth, you will end up on the Jetstream landing page, also called the Dashboard. On this page you will be able to:
- launch a new instance
- browse help resources
- change your settings
- see your resources and usage history
- view a Jetstream Community Activity feed
Adding SSH keys to the Jetstream Atmosphere environment
While Jetstream provides a web-based terminal for accessing your VM once it has been deployed, you might find that you wish to access your VM via SSH if you've provisioned it with a routable IP number. Please note that during early operations, all IP numbers offered will be routable - this will change in production.
If you need assistance creating SSH keys, please refer to the XSEDE KB article "How do I set up SSH public-key authentication to connect to a remote system?" Please do note that to get your keys on Jetstream, you will not follow the instructions In that article on placing your keys on a remote system.
Step-by-step guide
To add your ssh key(s) to Jetstream, click on your username in the upper right hand corner and then click Settings.
On the Settings screen, under Advanced, click Show More, to expand the section for adding your SSH key. Check the box that says "Enable ssh access into launched instances" and then click the green plus sign to actually add your key.
On the next screen give the key a descriptive name and then paste the contents of your PUBLIC ssh key into the dialog box.
After you have pasted in your SSH key, click Confirm. You will then be back at the Settings screen with your key shown in the SSH Configuration section.
Launching your VM
To get started using a Jetstream virtual machine, click Launch New Instance from the Dashboard screen. This will take you to a search screen where you can search the image name, description, or tags of the image you would like to use or to scroll through all of the images that you have permission to use.
For instance, if you want images named or tagged with "CentOS", enter that text in the search bar. The search is not case sensitive. Once you find an image that you wish to use, click on the name or icon and it will take you to the image information screen.
On image information screen, you will see more details on the image, such as version history and what systems it is available on (Indiana, TACC, or both). On this screen you may add an image (photo) to your project, click the star to save it as favorite image, or actually launch the image.
Click Launch to begin the process of creating an instance.
Give your instance a name, select the version if there are multiple versions available, and choose which provider you want to run on, Indiana or TACC. Click Continue.
Choose the instance size. This indicates the vCPUs, memory, and disk size for the VM. See the Virtual Machine Sizes table to show the available options and the SUs consumed per hour. Check projected resource usage then click Continue to move to the next screen.
Select or create a project to hold this instance. If you have any existing projects, they will be shown here and you can select one. If you don't have any existing projects, click Create New Project and fill in Project Name and Description. A detailed description is optional, but it is recommended to include any grant names or other easily identifying details so others working with you may easily find it. Click Create to create the new project.
On the project selection screen, click Launch to start the initialization of your instance.
On the last screen, review the choices for provisioning your instance. If you need to make changes, click Back to return to previous screens.
If all of your choices are correct, click Launch instance to start the build process.
Below are several screens you might see during the provisioning process.
The instance will be ready for use when you see a green dot and "Active" in the Status column.
Please note that it may take some time for instances to become active, 5-10 minutes on average. The start up time also depends on how busy the system is and on the size of the VM you requested.
Logging in to your VM
Jetstream allows multiple methods for accessing and using your VM. The 'Open Web Shell' link available on https://use.jetstream-cloud.org is the preferred method. If 'Open Web Shell' is unavailable in Atmosphere, log in to your instance via SSH for your operating system.
Logging in with Web Shell
- Log into Jetstream via the web interface, https://use.jetstream-cloud.org, and launch the instance.
- When the status shows as Active, click the Open Web Shell link found on the lower right hand side of the screen. If this link is unavailable try refreshing your window. If the link is still not enabled, log in to your instance via SSH for your operating system.
- Enter your XSEDE username and password.
Click Connect and then enter your password again.
A successful Web Shell login will look similar to the following.
Logging in with SSH
SSH login for MacOS X
- If you haven't already done so, add SSH keys to your account.
- Copy the instance IP address, either from the confirmation email or from the IP address displayed in the My Instances list.
- Open a terminal window for Mac OS X (from Finder, go to Applications, click Utilities, and then double-click Terminal).
In the terminal window, enter the following command, using your XSEDE username and password, and the instance IP address:
$ ssh xsede_username@ip_address
- Press Enter.
If you need to login as the root user, then ssh in as the root:
$ ssh root@ip_address
A successful login will look similar to the following:
SSH login for Windows using PuTTY
You can use PuTTY for logging in to an SSH window on a Windows operating system. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows, and operates a bit differently than Terminal to make the initial SSH connection. For a useful guide to using PuTTY, see PuTTY - Remote Terminal and SSH Connectivity.
- If you haven't already done so, add SSH keys to your account.
- Copy the instance IP address, either from the confirmation email or from the IP address displayed in the My Instances list.
- Download the PuTTY application.
- Launch PuTTY.
- Enter your XSEDE username.
- Enter the IP address, either copied from your My Instances list or from the confirmation email, and click Connect.
- Enter your XSEDE password and click Enter.
- To login as the root user, make the username 'root' instead of your XSEDE username.
Logging in with VNC desktop
VNC is only available on certain images. Please look for the GUI or Desktop tags on the Featured images.
For VNC launches:
- Once your instance comes up, login via ssh.
- Type '
su' or '
- Change the password with '
passwd your_username'.
Use realvnc viewer (free) to connect to x.x.x.x:1 (your_ip:1) with your username and the password you just set.
Please note the default vnc session will only work for the user that launched the instance. While a solution for Jetstream users that wish to have multiple virtual machine users, each with individual desktops, is in development (no ETA presently), for now it is not supported.
- When finished with the VNC, please disconnect your VNC session via the Real VNC viewer.
If you log out via the window manager, your X session may be left in an unusable state and require restarting or rebooting the VM.
Customizing and saving a VM
An image is a type of template for a virtual machine (VM).
You can launch an instance, install the software and files you want to use, then request an image of the instance. This will save all of the changes and updates within Atmosphere. Saving instances as images saves resources. The saved image can be relaunched at any time so that it won't keep running, and using resources, when it is not being used.
After submitting the form, the Jetstream Atmosphere support staff will review and process the request. Future versions of Atmosphere will allow users to initiate the VM imaging process automatically.
Important notes before you request an image
Please note that these instructions are very much under review and may not be entirely functional during early operations.
About your /home/ directory: All files, directories, and icons located under
/home/username/Desktop will be deleted. To preserve them, email firstname.lastname@example.com. Any files installed in /home must be saved to your volume, to iRODS, or to another storage device or system external to your VM.
Here are some tips to help ensure a viable importable image:
- Operating system: Base the image on
- CentOS6, CentOS 7 and later
- Ubuntu 14.04 and later, Long Term Support (LTS) versions of Ubuntu recommended
- File system: Ext3, Ext4, or XFS.
- Image format: RAW or QCOW2.
- Software: Image must contain no licensed software that would prohibit use within a cloud or virtualized environment.
Before submitting a request for an image of your instance, remove the following software from the instance:
- Licensed software that was not purchased by Jetstream.
- Software in which the licensing otherwise prevents the use within a cloud or virtualized environment.
The following directories are deleted as part of the imaging process:
Volumes and iRODS FUSE mounts are not copied as part of the image.
The following system files are typically overwritten by the Jetstream imaging process for security and operational reasons:
Request an image of an instance
You can request an image (a type of template for a virtual machine) of a running instance. This saves a complete copy of all changes and updates made to the instance since it was launched it so it can be reused at any time. It also saves resources by launching the instance only when you need it.
You also can see the list of all image requests you have made.
You can add a script before requesting the image that executes after an instance using the image is launched and active.
To get started:
- Log in to Jetstream web interface https://use.jetstream-cloud.org/.
- Detach all attached volumes from the instance. Detailed instructions for this will be coming later.

Shutting down your VM
Linux VMs need to be shut down gracefully and securely. In a GUI environment on Linux, the methods may vary. Launching a terminal and running the command:
$ /sbin/shutdown -h now
as root (or "
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now" if you don't have root but have sudoers rights) should work consistently across Linux versions. Please keep in mind that this will stop all operations and any other active users on your VM will be logged out as the system powers down.
Once shutdown is complete and your VM session has ceased, you will still need to suspend or stop your instance from the Jetstream web interface. Stopping the instance will free up resources but will continue to burn XSEDE Service Units (SUs). You will need to click Suspend from the right side menu in order to completely "turn off" your VM so it stops consuming your allocation. See the screenshot below to see the options available from the Actions menu.
When your VM instance is completely shut down and no longer consuming SUs and resources, the status will have a red dot icon and report itself as "Suspended" as the screen below shows.
Getting Scientific Software
If you are using a CentOS/rpm based VM, you can utilize software packaged by the XSEDE Campus Bridging team for the XSEDE National Integration Toolkit (XNIT).
The XSEDE National Integration Toolkit (XNIT), formerly known as the XSEDE Yum Repository, is a collection of Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) packages assembled to simplify the process of converting a "bare-bones" Linux cluster into a high-performance, parallel computing system that can be used to support scientific discovery. The packages included in the repository are specific versions and builds of scientific, mathematical, and visualization applications recommended by the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) for optimal compatibility with XSEDE digital services.
Please see the Knowledge Base entry about XNIT for details on what software is available and how to set up the XNIT repository on your VM.
If you are using a Debian based system such as Ubuntu, you can use the Alien package to convert RPMs to DEB packages for installation. This is not supported and may not perform exactly as expected. For more information on Alien, see Converting .rpm Packages To Debian/Ubuntu .deb Format With Alien.
Globus Connect file transfer tools
Globus Online is a fast, reliable, and secure file transfer service for easily moving data to, from, and between digital resources on the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE).
Please refer to the Globus Connect Personal GUI documentation or Globus Connect Personal Command Line documentation for detailed instructions on installing and using Globus Connect Personal on your Jetstream VM.
You will need a Globus account (sign up at http://www.globus.org/signup) and a valid SSH key (see instructions here if necessary) prior to the installation of Globus Personal Connect software.
|Possible Solution
|VM gets stuck trying to provision the network
| Click Projects (on the top menu) and select the Project with the instance that is stuck. From the Actions menu on the right try Redeploy first, Reboot if that fails, and Hard Reboot if the first two actions fail.
If none of these Actions work, don't delete the instance. Get the Alias (UID) and IP Address, if it is there, and email that information to
Linux Resources
|An Introduction to Linux
|Cornell Virtual Workshop (full access to the training materials requires logging in with XSEDE credentials)
|Learn Linux
|section from Linux.com website
|user-friendly Linux tutorials
|Linux Knowledge Base
|tutorials, forums, and how-tos for Linux
|Learning the Shell
|learn the Linux command line
Good citizenship: Your VM burns SUs for the time it is in operation. It is beneficial to you and other Jetstream users to shut it down when it is not in active use. This frees up resources for other users and also preserves your SUs for future use.
Security: To ensure that you do not inadvertently allow others to access your Jetstream account, please remember to log out from the menu at the top right (where it shows your username).

As the group show The Diamond Sea approaches the opening this Saturday, Oct 13th (6-9pm) @FFDG in San Francisco, we wanted to introduce, or in most cases "reintroduce" you to the artists who will be participating.
Meredith Dittmar lives and works in Portland, OR. Her last solo show was in Mexico City @Fifty24MX featuring some of her recent clay sculptures. Besides working on her intricately beautiful clay sculptures, Meredith also works in animation and design.
Portland OR, 38, Umass CompSci/Sociology, http://www.corporatepig.com
I know Im supposed to be good at this question but it never seems to go well. I usually say something along the lines of "relief-like sculpture in polymer clay mounted in shadowboxes"
Visualizations of maths and science, Integral theory, Non-dual teachers, everywhere I have been and everything I have seen
It's a boring answer but I like it all - same Now, different scenery!
Mornings are my best time and music changes with my mood and the kind of work Im doing. If theres a lot of repetition Ill listen to nerdy talks
I research, collect images and words, then let it marinate a bit. Next I mix the clay palate and begin making small parts inspired by my research until I have a decent library of assets to pull from. From there I settle in and start making larger pieces. I like to do all the sculpting first for all the pieces I'm going to make, then move on to painting the backgrounds and prepping the pieces to be mounted. My husband makes all my shadow boxes. The final step is to glue them and clean them and seal them up.
Exacto blade, homemade sculpting tools, a pin, pasta machine, wire, tweezers, extruder, ceramic and glass tiles to bake on, oven, e6000 and superglue (just to name a few)
Our new place! This spring we moved to 20 acre property just outside Portland and renovated a log cabin. Next spring we are building me a studio. Sooo excited to design that.
Pay the banks and get off the grid, build a lodge for friends/family and a natural swimming hole. Travel a little more and save the rest - Im super happy with what I have.
Backpacking or snowboarding up high on a mountain somewhere… or partying with friends outdoors most often with a not-so-small sound system.
The outdoors, the food, and the creative/DIY energy
Im doing some illustration and animation projects this winter, and will get back to work on my next show in the spring when I am a little closer to having a full studio.
For more info, check this interview we did with her back in 2009. and also her website portfolio.corporatepig.com

What a difference 100 years and 500 meters makes!
Within short walking distance of last week's photo (Dresden's Procession of Princes), the no-budget traveler will find this socialist mural on the side of Dresden's Palace of Culture:
There is perhaps no city in the former East Germany that better exemplifies this historical juxtaposition of styles and cultures than Dresden, where the baroque old city with its blackened sandstone is surrounded by the alternately decayed and modernized concrete block houses of the 1960s.
What cities have you visited where you were struck (architecturally or otherwise) by the cruel march of history?

OU Tops Nebraska for 2006 Big 12 Title
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Oklahoma's ground game got the eighth-ranked Sooners to the Big 12 title game. The Sooners went to the air to reach the Bowl Championship Series -- even if it wasn't the game they had dreamed of coming into the season.
Paul Thompson threw two touchdown passes to Malcolm Kelly and led the longest scoring drive in Big 12 championship history, leading Oklahoma to a 21-7 victory over No. 19 Nebraska on Saturday night.
Kelly's 142 yards receiving on 10 catches broke the previous title game record of 140 yards, set by Kansas State's Darnell McDonald in 1998.
"It was just a good week of preparation," Kelly said. "There wasn't much else to it. We just took whatever they gave us."
The Sooners (11-2) forced five turnovers - another championship game record - and won their fourth Big 12 title to earn a berth in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year's Day. Their strong performance Saturday night was a bittersweet reminder of what might have been had a blown onside kick call not led to a 34-33 loss at Oregon on Sept. 3.
"We had plenty of excuses, if we chose to grab onto them," coach Bob Stoops said. "But no one ever did."
Strong safety Reggie Smith had two of Oklahoma's takeaways, including a fumble recovery that set up the Sooners' first score.
The Cornhuskers (9-4), who were in the conference championship game for the first time since 1999, will play in the Cotton Bowl, also on Jan. 1.
Backed up at his own 1 in the third quarter, with Oklahoma clinging to a 14-7 lead and Nebraska building momentum with every defensive stop, Thompson was 6-for-8 for 95 yards on an 11-play, 99-yard drive. It ended with his 3-yard pass to Kelly that made it 21-7.
"That kind of took the wind out of our sails," Nebraska coach Bill Callahan said. "We had them backed up but we just couldn't make a play."
The Sooners also picked up the fastest score in Big 12 title game history when Allen Patrick scored on a 2-yard run just 48 seconds in.
On the game's first play from scrimmage, Marcus Walker stripped the ball from Nebraska wide receiver Maurice Purify after a short gain. Smith scooped up the ball near the sideline and returned it to the 2.
The play had to be reviewed, but replays clearly showed that the ball was out of Purify's hands before the receiver fell out of bounds at his own 13.
Later in the first quarter, Thompson hit Kelly for a 66-yard touchdown that put the Sooners up 14-0. Kelly caught the ball in stride at the Nebraska 20, eluded a diving tackle attempt by cornerback Cortney Grixby, and sprinted in untouched to complete the Sooners' second one-play scoring drive.
Nebraska cut it to 14-7 in the second quarter, when Andrew Shanle's interception set up Zac Taylor's 14-yard TD pass to Hunter Teafatiller.
Teafatiller's touchdown catch was his fourth of the year - out of five total receptions. Oklahoma bit on Nebraska's play fake on third and 1, leaving the tight end alone at the back of the end zone.
Oklahoma had a chance to go up 17-7 near the end of the first half, but holder Hays McEachern bobbled the snap on what would have been a 47-yard field goal attempt and then had his shovel pass batted down by Cory McKeon.
The Sooners' 99-yard drive was even more remarkable for the fact that the first two plays went for no gain. But on third and 10, Thompson faked a handoff and found Jermaine Gresham for a 35-yard gain.
"That was huge," Nebraska defensive end Jay Moore said. "We had them right there. They made the completion, and that changed the momentum in the second half."
Thompson followed that up with completions of 22 yards to Juaquin Iglesias and 9 yards to Kelly before Allen Patrick carried for 2 yards. Thompson then threw to Adron Tennell for 15 yards and Kelly for 11, giving the Sooners first and goal at the 5.
Patrick carried for two yards and Thompson threw an incompletion before Kelly snagged Thompson's high pass at the side of the end zone and kept his feet inbounds as he landed.
Nebraska drove back downfield after the score, but the drive stalled at Oklahoma's 16 when Zac Taylor's pass to Hunter Teafatiller was incomplete on fourth and 1.
A 31-yard pass from Taylor to Marlon Lucky gave Nebraska a first down at the Oklahoma 20 on the Cornhuskers' next drive, but Nic Harris broke late and made a diving interception in the end zone on the next play.
Smith's interception at his own 4 ended Nebraska's next possession -- and any threat of the Cornhuskers getting back in the game.
Nebraska punter Dan Titchener set a championship game record with six punts inside the 20, two of those inside the 10.

Mariah Carey broke down in tears on TV on Wednesday night when an "American Idol" contestant performed the 1998 duet she recorded with the late Whitney Houston.
Carey, who serves as a judge alongside Keith Urban, Randy Jackson and Nicki Minaj, struggled to contain her emotion as she listened to Candice Glover's rendition of "When You Believe," the superstar's collaboration with Houston.
After giving Glover a standing ovation, Carey said, "Personally, I think you can sing anything in front of anybody anywhere. I don't want to break down and cry here, because it does remind me of (Houston)… And yes, rest in peace to the great Whitney Houston. I think you did her justice."
Houston drowned in the bathtub of her Los Angeles hotel suite in February 2012.

Tony Evers: Reinvigorating career and technical education
In Wisconsin and across the nation, employers are warning of impending shortages of workers in several specialized careers. Public education can help fix this problem as we reinvigorate the state's high school Career and Technical Education programs.
By Tony Evers
By Tony Evers
While a bachelor's degree is an important path to lifetime success and family-supporting careers, it is not the only route. Students and parents need information about diploma and apprenticeship programs, technical college degrees, and industry certifications that require less than a four-year degree but also lead to a good life and a successful, rewarding career. Information and outreach are important parts of reinvigorating CTE. Last October, about 20 manufacturing facilities across the state opened their doors to provide a new perspective on a variety of technical careers. Courtesy of a job-training grant, Western Technical College in La Crosse supported a video series,
"Max & Ben's Manufacturing Adventures," to help middle school students explore technical careers. Sustaining and expanding these types of efforts will require collaboration among all CTE partners.
When we reinvigorate CTE, we're not just training students for high-demand jobs. The 16 career clusters, which are broad occupational groupings, provide high school students with rigorous academic preparation and skills for success in college, career, and civic life. CTE gives students hands-on experience, developing the "soft skills" like punctuality, teamwork, and problem-solving that employers say they want and are needed throughout life.
Because CTE programs must be at the forefront of innovation and industry standards, they can be expensive and have been hard hit by education funding cuts. Our most recent staffing survey showed a 6 percent cut to career and technical education positions in one-year's time. CTE needs a financial investment, which I've requested in my 2013-15 education budget. But, CTE also requires renewed partnerships with our state's technical colleges, businesses, and industries. The programs I visited for last year's CTE Month observance overwhelmingly had strong connections with the local technical college and nearby employers. I expect to see similar partnerships when I tour programs in western Wisconsin, the Fox River Valley, and southeastern Wisconsin during February's CTE Month observance this year.
Career and technical education aligns talent development, job opportunities, and workforce needs, supporting economic growth throughout the state. During February's Career and Technical Education Month observance, and throughout the coming year, let's work to reinvigorate CTE.

Students have the opportunity to develop portfolios that include a variety of print layout forms, identity design, packaging concepts, web design, and motion graphic pieces.
At the foundation of the training is a strong orientation to developing creative visual problem solving techniques, applying the principles of design, and obtaining the technical skills needed to produce meaningful and relevant work. Students explore visual solutions through a creative process that includes research, brainstorming, concept development, and class critiques.
There is a strong sense of community and cooperation among the students. Most join an active student chapter of the AIGA, the professional association for design. This organization facilitates freelance project opportunities, field trips to studios, agencies, and production shops, and sponsors other projects such as speakers and design symposia on campus.

There are many tools through which anyone can design a website, but it doesn't mean that everyone should try themselves for their website.The reason writing here is to tell you what not to do while designing a website.Either you are creating a site on your own or hiring an expert website designer for your website.avoid these things:
1)Logo not clickable:
If your logo is not clickable people think that this link is broken and as a result, you will lose your visitors.more than 95% people click on a logo to go to the homepage.
2) Dont use too many Images/videos:
Images are videos attracts the audience, and it will help to reduce the bounce rate of your website, but beside this advantage, there is a disadvantage as well.Images and videos are not lightweight hence they slow your website and as a result, your load time of your website will increase which will also decrease the traffic on your website.
3) Not making mobile friendly:
Before 2015 people use desktops and laptop for websites and online browsing, but after 2015 there are more mobile users than desktop, this is the reason Google gave mobile higher priority than desktop.So make your Responsive Web Design Dubai so that it would be portable friendly and you will not lose your visitors.

Rangers agree to $12.5M, 4-year deal with LHP Martin Perez
ARLINGTON, Texas - Left-hander Martin Perez has agreed to a $12.5 million, four-year contract with the Texas Rangers that could be worth $32.55 million over seven seasons and puts four of their starting pitchers under contract through at least 2017.
The 22-year-old Perez got a deal Thursday that includes three club options through 2020.
Perez was 10-6 in 20 starts this season, matching Oakland's Dan Straily for the most wins by an American League rookie. After starting the season on the disabled list because he broke his left forearm in a spring training game, Perez was recalled on June 22 and got all of his wins. He was the first Texas rookie to win six consecutive starts and went nearly two months between losses.
"Part of our long-term plan is to identify the best talent and best makeup guys, best workers that we have in the organization, and try to make sure to keep that core together as long as possible," general manager Jon Daniels said. "This is a really mutually beneficial deal in our minds. Martin gets security and a lot of money for a young man his age early in his career, and we get cost control and hopefully the comfort knowing that we've got a young quality, high-side left-hander in our rotation for years to come."
Perez originally signed with the Rangers as a 16-year-old undrafted free agent from Venezuela.
Perez got a $1 million signing bonus. His 2014 salary will be $750,000, then increase to $1 million, $2.9 million and $4.4 million over the successive seasons. The Rangers have a $6 million option for 2018 with a $2.45 million buyout. If Texas exercises that it gets a $7.5 million option for 2019 with a $750,000 buyout. And if that's exercised, the Rangers get a $9 million option for 2020 with a $250,000 buyout.
"I can focus and play baseball and learn something new every day to be a better pitcher, and a better person. That's what I want," Perez said. "My future is here."
Daniels said the Rangers have seen continued growth in Perez as a pitcher and person.
The young pitcher also impressed Daniels during discussions about the new deal, when Perez unprompted said the money wouldn't change him and that he'd work even harder. He also talked about long-term goals.
"From a management standpoint, that's all you can ask," Daniels said.
Rangers ace Yu Darvish, along with left-handers Matt Harrison and Derek Holland are also signed through at least 2017. Like Perez, Harrison and Holland have options for additional years.
Alexi Ogando, another starter, is eligible for salary arbitration this winter but is still under club control for three more seasons. Daniels expects a conversation with Ogando about a one-year deal.
"To have four guys of that caliber and plus with Alexi, to have that talent in that rotation, that's an unusual position to be in for any franchise, especially us," Daniels said. "It's a good feeling. ... Things happen, there are no guarantees. But I'll take my chances to have that kind of ability and makeup and youth that's already had success pitching at the big league level."

N.Y. tests unbeaten run against Vancouver
Harrison, NJ – Red Bull New York will put its seven-match unbeaten run to the test on Saturday when the club welcomes Vancouver Whitecaps FC to Red Bull Arena.
The Red Bulls are one of the most in-form teams in MLS at the moment, taking 17 points out of a possible 21 to enter the weekend atop the Eastern Conference on 25 points.
Their unbeaten streak appeared to be in serious jeopardy on Sunday when the Columbus Crew took a one-goal lead into the dying minutes of their clash at Red Bull Arena, but Jamison Olave netted a late equalizer in a 2-2 draw that preserved New York's impressive run.
Not only did Olave's strike help the Red Bulls maintain their form, but it landed the towering defender on the league's Team of the Week.
While the Red Bulls were beneficiaries of a late equalizer last time out, the Whitecaps were denied a victory by a tying goal in their last outing.
Vancouver is coming off of a 2-2 draw against the Portland Timbers, a result that surely feels sour given the manner in which the club surrendered two points.
Camilo Sanvezzo and Gershon Koffie produced goals for the 'Caps with Portland's Will Johnson scoring in between, but it was Jose Valencia's strike in the 84th minute that saw the two sides split the points.
Vancouver enters the weekend on short rest as the club played to a 2-2 draw with the Montreal Impact in Wednesday's Canadian Championship tie at BC Place. After a 1-1 opening leg in Montreal, Wednesday's draw ousted the 'Caps from the competition due to away goals, leaving them to lick their wounds as they venture east to face the Red Bulls.
Saturday's tilt is the final match of a three-game homestand for New York and the first in a two-match road trip for Vancouver.
The two sides have faced one another three times since the 'Caps entered the league as an expansion club in 2011. They have played to a draw on all three occasions.

Brothers Eric and Justin Dennis wanted to venture where few had gone before — so they settled on the Gates of the Arctic National Park in Alaska.
There are no roads, man-made paths or people. The only way to get there is a private plane.
The Dennis brothers waded through freezing water and hiked through foliage in the tundra to finally arrive at the "most beautiful place they'd ever seen."
The duo filmed a documentary about their adventure, called " The Edge of Earth," and posted it on Vimeo.

Trump Draws Stronger Support From Veterans Than From the Public on Leadership of U.S. Military
A new Pew Research Center survey of veterans finds that a majority (57%) approve of the way Trump is handling his duties as commander in chief, with about half (48%) saying his administration's policies have made the military stronger.

Women in the U.S. Military: Growing Share, Distinctive Profile
The women who serve in today's military differ from the men who serve in a number of ways.
Video: The Military-Civilian Gap
These videos and an audio slideshow discuss the findings from surveys of veterans and the general public that examine the rewards and burdens of military service.
The Difficult Transition from Military to Civilian Life
Military service is difficult, demanding and dangerous. But returning to civilian life also poses challenges for the men and women who have served in the armed forces.
The Military-Civilian Gap: Fewer Family Connections
Whether or not they have served, most Americans have family members who have been in the armed forces. But as the size of the military shrinks, those ties may be diminishing.
For Many Injured Veterans, A Lifetime of Consequences
One out of every ten veterans alive today was seriously injured at some point while serving in the military, and three-quarters of those injuries occurred in combat.
War and Sacrifice in the Post-9/11 Era
As the U.S. marks the 10th anniversary of the longest period of sustained warfare in its history, the vast majority of veterans of the post-9/11 era are proud of their military service and say it has helped them mature as human beings.

Chanel Cruise 2016 Fabric SLGsCategories:Other Brands
Just when you thought it was safe to step back into Chanel, this happens. From their Cruise 2016 collection comes the reintroduction of these fabric beauties, more specifically, these SLGs that you'll be able to spot for yourself as soon as you walk into Chanel stores at either Marina Bay Sands or Ngee Ann City.
Simply designed with Chanel's logo and that emotion-evoking line, 31 Rue Cambon Paris, you'll find an assortment of SLGS in 3 lovely hues, Denim Blue, Grey and Pink. From a long 19.4 cm zipped wallet (SGD1390) to a larger pouch that measures 25 cm across (also SGD1390), the upside is perhaps the fact that they would be more affordable than the full leather versions. The downside? You'll have to take extra care, especially with the ones in Grey or Pink, since any dirt or stain will show up more prominently as well.
Last but by no means least, my all-time favourite SLG from Chanel has got to be theO-Case, which while came in various sizes the last time, will only be available in one size this time around. Measuring 27.5 cm across by 19.5 cm, I've seen this in bothDenim Blue and Grey at Chanel Ngee Ann City, topped with a zip that runs across it and lined with quilted nylon on the interior.
Priced at SGD900, it's just too adorable to resist, and because I already have a largeDeauville in Denim Blue as well, it made perfect sense to me to get the O-Case in the matching hue. Yes, that's how I apply logic when I'm shopping, and with Christmas just around the corner, why not, right?

Chanel F/W15 Boy Chanel Braided Fabric FlapsCategories:Other Brands
There really isn't much else to say about Chanel's current F/W15 collection. You know it's called Brasserie Gabrielle, the runway show set beautifully within your typical Parisian cafe that's oh so très chic. And with the collection referencing everything from the mosaic tiles to literal interpretation with perspex plates and menus made into clutches, the only thing left was perhaps the chairs.
Well, not anymore.
Spotted on Chanel's online site are a trio of these Boy Chanel bags, featuring braided fabric that look very much like the backs of said chairs in your typical chic Parisian cafe. Trimmed in calfskin in a variety of colours, my gut feel is that the braided part in the middle is also leather (and not actually fabric as mentioned on the site) because a) it actually looks like leather and b) that would explain its prices, which start from SGD6490.
Measuring 20 cm by 12 cm for the Small (SGD6490) and 25 cm by 14.5 cm for theMedium (SGD7040), they are rather gorgeous if you're looking for a Boy Chanel that's well, styled a bit differently. And if I had to pick just one, it would have to be the one in black/white because it's also the most classic of the lot, no?

Valentino Camoucouture Felt Fabric BackpackCategories:Other Brands
If I'm buying just one backpack this season, this one, the Valentino Camoucouture Backpack in felt fabric, would be it. Maybe I'm a sucker for anything camouflage, or the fact that I've always loved how lightweight (and fuss-free) felt is as a fabric, or just that being handsfree whilst wondering the city (or the great outdoors) is always a bonus, especially if I need both hands to operate my iPhone when I need to shoot something for Instagram.
Measuring 44 cm in height by 33 cm across, it's roomy enough for most guys and then some, and whether you're using it for work or play (or work and play) wouldn't be an issue either. With double-zips on both the main compartment and the front pocket, it comes finished with leather handles that come with a sprinkling of ruthenium-finish studs.
Priced at USD2380 online via Valentino (from what I gather you can order it online and they'll ship to Singapore and the region), you might as well pick up the matching felt fabric sneakers (also known as the Camouflage Rockrunner) as well, priced atUSD820 a pair. Because that's exactly what I would do.

Antioch — Police arrested a male teenager late Thursday and said he would face charges in the shooting of an 11-year-old boy earlier that day outside an apartment complex.
The victim, who relatives identified as Gregory Kent, of Oakland, is expected to survive. The alleged gunman, police said, is 14 years old. He was not identified.
The 11-year-old was playing with friends outside the Rivertown Place Apartments near the 800 block of I Street when he was shot once in the chest. Witnesses told television station ABC7 that the shooter then ran away.
Antioch police Cpl. James McMurry said the arrest came about 11 hours later, although few details about it were released.
The alleged gunman was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm, McMurry said in a statement. He was transferred Friday to Contra Costa County Juvenile Hall.
Kent, who was airlifted to UC Davis Medical Center, is in stable condition, McMurry said.
A woman who said she was the child's aunt said the weapon involved appeared to be a .22-caliber handgun. She said Kent, who was staying in Antioch for the summer, ran inside and said a friend had just shot him.
McMurry did not describe the relationship between the two children or say if the gun was recovered.
The investigation of the shooting is continuing. McMurry asked that anyone with information call police at 925-778-2441.
