Vermont – The Wondrous Maple Land

Before I moved to the East Coast and actually lived a summer here, I'd never really known about what a "real" summer was like. Back in San Francisco, the land of everyday fog and households ignorant of the need of air conditioners (if you lived in 50-60 degree Fahrenheit weather year-round, would you need central AC?), I lived in complete ignorance of what it is like to change living habits based on the seasons. We never limited ourselves to cooking stews and braises for the winter or making lemonade and sorbets in the summer. We could do whatever we wanted year round, and our kitchen would be at about the same temperature. Cooking was cooking.
Well, I'm no longer in San Francisco now. In my apartment in New York, in which I have lived for over a year, which I will also tell you until yesterday had no AC (my landlord likes me now, so he is loaning me one for the duration of my stay here), if you want to bake blueberry muffins or even do the simplest saute, it will feel as though you are baking yourself. You will just want to throw yourself into the freezer and stay there – forever. I know this because this is how I have felt the few times I have tried to cook this summer. There you have it — my long-winded reason for not updating my blog since June.
Blueberry and I have actually been spending quite a bit of time eating out this summer, partly because of the blistering summer heat, which has just very recently gotten much worse, and partly because we are just out and about in New York and New England and want to try restaurants and check out areas we haven't yet been to. Last weekend, we wanted to get away and took a day trip to the area around Brattleboro, Vermont. A month ago, a very generous coworker brought me back the most amazing Grade A Dark Amber Vermont maple syrup, and as soon as I'd had a taste on my blueberry pancakes, I knew we had to go to this wondrous maple land that is two hours outside of Boston.
The first stop that we made was at the Brattleboro Farmers Market. It's considered one of Southern Vermont's premier farmers markets and has over 50 vendors with everything from Vermont artisanal arts and crafts to local produce and prepared foods from a variety of cultures. The first thing that caught my eye there was this cute Thai food truck run by Anon's Thai Food:
This farmers market was probably the nicest farmers market I've ever been to — it was bustling with lots of people, and the variety of produce, flowers, food, and items being sold was amazing. The stands themselves looked so rustic, all made of these wooden branches that had little roofs. While I love the New York City Greenmarket and all, it really can't hold a candle to the depth and breadth of this Vermont farmers market. The vendors themselves were incredibly friendly, too, and more than willing to elaborate on their products and their businesses as a whole, which is not always the case at the Greenmarket back home, unfortunately.
We picked out some really unique fruit wines from an artisanal winery stand – the Putney Mountain Winery from Putney, VT. One was a sparkling apple wine with a very bright effervescence and a slightly bitter aftertaste. This was definitely a different taste than what I am used to with apple cider-type drinks; the aftertaste was really unique. The other bottle we got was the Vermont Cassis, which is a sweet and tart dessert wine made with local black currants. The woman at the booth who gave us free tastings of all her wines told us that it would be a great topping for ice cream and would last quite a while on the shelf after opening, which was a new idea to us since most wines we have had have lasted only a few days max.
We also found a prepared food stand that was selling Malian dishes. We had never had Malian food, so we got a combination plate with peanut butter chicken, beef and spinach stew, rice, and a special Malian hot sauce that was hotter than hot. Blueberry, who usually loves heat in his food, tortured himself eating more and more of this fiery sauce. The small reddish-green pile at the bottom right corner is the Hot Sauce of Death. Here's our plate of Malian food:
We also had a cup of hibiscus juice here. It was really refreshing; sweetened with a bit of sugar, it was ideal for a hot summer's day. The juice had a hint of floral flavor from the hibiscus and seemed to taste more like a sweetened floral tea than an actual juice.
From The Sun-Dried Tomato Mediterranean stand, we got a spinach-mozzarella roll-up and a piece of homemade baklava. Our baklava was incredibly sweet, nutty, and satisfying. Look at all those layers:
After the Brattleboro Farmers Market, our next stop was at the Robb Family Farm. The Robb Family Farm is a family-owned farm/business that has been around since 1907. Their farm is about 470 acres right outside of Brattleboro, and they own over 100 cows, half of whose lives are devoted to producing milk and cheese wholesale and for regional companies such as Hood and Cabot Cheese. They also have a big family of maple trees for genuine Vermont maple syrup. Depending on what time of the year you come, you can also schedule tours, hay rides, sleigh rides, and see maple syrup being extracted and produced. They also produce a small amount of raw milk that you can pick up if you are lucky enough to get there early in the mornings. Unfortunately we didn't get there until early afternoon, so we missed our chance to taste raw milk. I've always wanted to drink raw milk, but with all these tough restrictions in the U.S., it's hard to find it in regular markets near me.
However, we were able to go into the barn and see the cows. Here are two of the little calves we saw. These girls are young and feisty, especially the one on the right, which had a slight obsession with licking my arm all over:
I always romanticize, like a lot of city people do, about how sweet and idyllic it could be if I just lived out in the countryside, owned a farm, and produced all my own food instead of being so far removed from the food production process in a great big metropolis like New York City or San Francisco. Being out there on the farm and seeing all the cows was fun, but I think after a while I could tire of it, especially from the cow dung smell, honestly. 🙂
We left the farm with a large 16 oz. container of Grade A Dark Amber maple syrup from their farm. Since we got it in a metal container, we're planning to get some mason jars to store the syrup longer, since maple syrup tends to have a longer life in the fridge if you store it in glass.
Afterwards, we stopped by an organic farm called the Lilac Ridge farm and passed by a cute sign that they had up:
Another place that was on our itinerary was the Grafton Village Cheese Company. While we were excited to taste different cheeses, we were a little disappointed that the cheese company seemed to be more commercial than we had originally hoped. And while the Vermont-made cheddar cheeses were tasty, none of them were so exceptional that we thought we needed to buy them while we were there. We actually thought that our local markets made cheddar cheeses that were just as good, if not better. Sadly, the one cheese we tried that blew us a way — a really nutty, subtly sweet Gruyere — was actually an import from Switzerland. So much for trying to support local, independent businesses.
We ended our day in Vermont with canoeing on the Connecticut river and having dinner at a nice Italian restaurant called Fireworks in downtown Brattleboro. It seemed to be a somewhat new restaurant, what they called a "work in progress." They try to use organic produce whenever possible, use free-range chicken, and cook with cured meats made only by local producers. It was a fun, relaxing day, and we definitely plan to come back to Vermont for autumn hiking when the leaves are changing color and in the early spring when maple syrup is being extracted and processed. For foodies who are interested in learning more about how different foods are produced, especially maple syrup and Vermont cheese, Vermont is definitely a must-see with the added bonus of having beautiful scenery. New England has so many hidden gems; it makes me happy and grateful to be able to live near an area as beautiful as this.

HIPPO global-scale air chemistry dataset now available
CONTACT: Caroline Perry, (617) 496-1351
Cambridge, Mass. – February 12, 2013 – Data from the HIAPER Pole-to-Pole Observations (HIPPO) study of greenhouse gases and aerosols are now available to the atmospheric research community and the public.
This comprehensive dataset provides the first high-resolution, vertically resolved measurements of over 90 unique atmospheric species collected during a series of nearly pole-to-pole flights over the Pacific Ocean, across all seasons. The suite of atmospheric trace gases and aerosols is pertinent to understanding the carbon cycle and challenging global climate models.
The dataset will provide opportunities for research across a broad spectrum of Earth sciences, including those analyzing the evolution in time and space of the greenhouse gases that affect global climate.
Two websites, created by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Earth Observing Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy's Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC), debuted on November 30, 2012, to serve those interested in acquiring HIPPO data and documentation.
"These highly detailed cross sections are analogous to tomographic images that reveal the inner workings of the atmosphere and the underlying surface," says principal investigator Steven C. Wofsy, Abbott Lawrence Rotch Professor of Atmospheric and Environmental Science at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. "For many years our team had dreamed of a data set of this kind, and we are delighted that the measurements have now been made and are available to the whole scientific community."
HIPPO was a multi-year global airborne research project, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), that surveyed the latitudinal and vertical distribution of aerosols and greenhouse and related gases. Project scientists and support staff flew five month-long missions over the Pacific Basin on the NSF/NCAR Gulfstream V, High-performance Instrumented Airborne Platform for Environmental Research (HIAPER) aircraft between January 2009 and September 2011, spread throughout the annual cycle, from the surface to 14 kilometers in altitude, and from 87°N to 67°S.
The landmark study resulted in an extensive, highly detailed dataset of over 90 atmospheric species, from six categories, all with navigation and atmospheric structure data, including greenhouse gases and carbon cycle gases; ozone and water vapor; black carbon and aerosols; ozone-depleting substances and their replacements; light hydrocarbons and PAN; and sulfur gases/ocean-derived gases. A suite of specialized instruments on the aircraft made high-rate measurements as the plane flew, while several whole air samplers collected flasks of air for later analysis in laboratories around the U.S.
The flights were conducted in a continuously profiling mode, with the aircraft alternately climbing or descending as it flew from its home base in Broomfield, Colo., north to Alaska and the Arctic, south down the middle of the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand and the Southern Ocean near Antarctica, and then back to the Arctic a second time before returning home. In all, the aircraft made 64 flights and flew 787 vertical profiles while covering 285,000 km. The instruments collected 434 hours of high-rate continuous measurements during the five HIPPO missions, and 4,235 flask samples were collected.
"The field efforts were highly successful, and these unique measurements are providing key insights into the global carbon cycle and aspects of the climate system," says co-principal investigator Britt Stephens, of NCAR.
A Sampling of HIPPO Results
One of HIPPO's most significant accomplishments has been quantifying the seasonal amounts of carbon dioxide taken up and released by land plants and the oceans. Those measurements complement ongoing independent surface observations in helping scientists determine the magnitude of the annual cycle of carbon dioxide moving in and out of the atmosphere and how the increasing amount of this gas is influenced by both natural systems and industrial activity. Global carbon cycle data from HIPPO are already showing how global models can be improved. The data will help scientists calibrate observations collected in other ways, such as through ground-based spectrometers and satellite-borne instruments.
Another key finding was that concentrations of methane—an important greenhouse gas—very near the surface of the Arctic Ocean were elevated compared to air aloft, indicating unexpected sources of methane over the open ocean. As with the carbon dioxide, the methane data nicely augment ongoing surface-based observations, provide a critical test for satellite-based measurements, and ultimately will improve estimates of surface methane sources.
The team found that black carbon particles observed on the first HIPPO flight series—emitted by diesel engines, industrial processes, and fires—were less widely distributed in the atmosphere than previously expected. Such particles can affect climate in various ways, such as by directly absorbing solar radiation, influencing the formation of clouds or enhancing melt rates when they are deposited on ice or snow. In later HIPPO series, plumes of smoke from fires over Southeast Asia contributed to large amounts of black carbon above the North Pacific, while much lower amounts in the Southern Hemisphere were also observed.
Researchers were also surprised to find elevated concentrations of nitrous oxide high in the tropical atmosphere. The finding has significant environmental implications because the gas both traps heat and contributes to the thinning of the ozone layer. Nitrous oxide levels have been increasing for decades in part because of the intensive use of nitrogen fertilizer for agriculture. The abundance of the gas high in the tropical atmosphere may be a sign that storms are carrying it aloft from sources in Southeast Asia.
The HIPPO data set clarifies the importance of the Southern Ocean in both taking up oxygen during the winter and releasing it in the summer. These results will feed into studies of ocean biogeochemistry and will help test models of the feedbacks between carbon and climate.

|Writing an example for setting widget's geometry
|01:36, 10 January 2013
1. In the widget attribute "geometry", we should add an example about how to set up the geometry of a widget. It spent me quite some time trying
widget.writeConfig("geometry", "x,y,w,h")
widget.geometry = new QRectF(x,y,w,h)
which both were found by google, but both failed. Finally Aaron told me to use this way:
widget.geometry = QRectF(x, y, w, h)
and it worked. So I suggest to put this in the page.

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. -- Savanna Schubert posted her best finish ever as a member of the Lipscomb Lady Bisons golf team with a second place finish in the SIUE Intercollegiate Monday and Tuesday at the Sunset Hills Country Club in Edwardsville, Ill.
Schubert, a junior from Oak Ridge, Tenn., was a model of consistency shooting a 78 each day.
The Lady Bisons finished second in the tournament with a two-round combined score of 662. Two other Lady Bisons, Mackenzy Carter and Sami Khan, finished tied for sixth place at 165. Carter shot rounds of 84 and 81. After a first round score of 88 Khan rebounded with a 77, the second lowest score of the second round and the second lowest score in either round of the tournament.
Rounding out the scoring for the Lady Bisons were Miriam Parker in a tied for 40th place with a score of 177 (87, 90) and Sabrina Ferreri in a tied for 53rd with a 184 (95, 89).
Southern Illinois placed first in the nine-team field with a two-round score of 641.
The Lady Bisons will hit the greens again Oct. 15, 2012 in the F&M Bank Austin Peay State University Intercollegiate.

A decision has been made, the name is TechBase.
Empower KDE: could be used as empower.kde.org for a subdomain. Is it ok to tell people to "go to Empower KDE"? I think it gives regular users the idea that it's not for them (they just use KDE), and it gives the developers/isvs/etc. the pleasant feeling of contributing. I thought of 'power users' at first, but it didn't sound appropriate. --Exit3219 19:56, 20 January 2007 (CET)
KDE Workshop or KDE Workbench or KDE Garage or KDE Lab - fresh ideas that came by night: --jstaniek 01:52, 24 January 2007 (CET)
KDE TechNet: (technet.kde.org) I like the name "technology network" in short "technet" because it covers a wide (unlimited) range of technical informations on this or other sites. Additional for me it sounds better than techbase or techzone. --rhabacker 10:19, 24 January 2007 (CET)
Gears: Because they make things tick. Users don't usually see them, they just see the clock face (or desktop wallpaper, as the case may be ;-)). And it is related to the KDE logo. May not be clear enough, though?
We have a name, is there any reason to keep this pages of the wiki? Content wise the interesting part is Scope and Goals For The Name, maybe this could go to Help:Wiki Structure or similar.
The only reason I can see to not delete this pages is that we have a dot-story linking to this page (look here, links to developernew.kde.org).--Dhaumann

You probably should be reading the Pacemaker site clusterlabs.org
This site conserves Heartbeat specific stuff. See Site news for details.
From Linux-HA
Commercial Support
Support for the Linux-HA software is available from a variety of places. The following organizations provide paid support for Linux-HA:
Update: Acutally, today (2015), the only place where you really get support for Heartbeat, or Heartbeat + Pacemaker based clusters is Linbit
Everyone else has already phased out Heartbeat. (Yes, the guy saying so is Heartbeat maintainer and Linbit employee; and my impression may be wrong). For broader future support, you probably should be considering moving to Corosync 2.x + Pacemaker anyways. Below is the list as of places where one used to get support for Heartbeat, and where (I think) you still will get support for "Linxu-HA" clusters, based on Corosync 2.x + Pacemaker.
- IBM Global Services Support Line (Linux support customers) - includes DRBD
- IBM Global Services Consulting Services designs solutions incorporating Linux-HA, DRBD, and other technologies.
- SUSE/Novell supports Linux-HA for their Enterprise Server versions of Linux - includes DRBD

- irc://irc.freenode.org#clusterlabs <-- Try this first.
We are trying to consolidate everything Linux HA Cluster related under the Clusterlabs umbrella now (2015).
If you don't get immediate response, please be patient. Consider that most people in there have day jobs, may be working on a deadline, or simply are located in different time zones. Just describe your situation, ask your question, and linger a while. Usually someone will come along and pick it up.
- irc://irc.freenode.org#drbd <-- if you have DRBD specific questions, this channel might be most useful.
Historically, there have been two more channels, you may find mentioned elsewhere: irc://irc.freenode.org#linux-ha used to be our more Heartbeat stack centric channel, irc://irc.freenode.org#linux-cluster used to be our more Corosync / RHCS centric channel. To be able to give you a less scattered experience, we now recommend you to please start out on #clusterlabs, though.
Mailing Lists
Due to the prevelence of SPAM in the internet, ALL our mailing lists require subscribing before you can post to them. So be sure and subscribe, or don't try and post to them.
