Thurston Peak Climber's Log
Outdoorpartner - Sep 6, 2007 11:10 pm Date Climbed: Sep 6, 2007Where is the trail?
I traversed over from Layton peak, which was quite a bushwacking adventure. I could not find a trail to go down; I made my own way down to the Great Western trail and then headed out. Summit log is in a jar under some rocks on the peak.
KirtDavis - Jul 4, 2007 9:49 pm Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2007Fireworks
What a way to spend Independance Day! We parked at Smith Creek Lakes and bagged Thurston Peak just a few hours later.
It was hot, but not miserable. The wildflowers were showing their colors, and there was still some snow on the east side that I just had to make a snowangel in.

I had a chance to leave work a little early on a great October day. With perfect weather all around my wife and I made a quick hike up Thurston and made it home for the Packers game on Monday night football.
soccerman - Dec 26, 2006 3:42 pm Date Climbed: Jun 15, 2003From Kays Creek
I've been here a few times. We usually park at Kay's Creek and then hike up and over the mountain straight to my house in Morgan County. Fun hike. Very steep acent.
madsjim - Sep 10, 2006 7:14 am Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2006Route: Francis Peak route
Drove to the top of Francis and hiked the ridge. It was very enjoyable. The scenery is beautiful at the top and I enjoyed the leasurely hike over to Thurston. It is was fun, a little longer than I expected but worth the trip.
Dean - Jun 6, 2006 1:41 pm Date Climbed: Jun 3, 2006Great views
Drove up the road instead of hiking up Kay's Creek as planned. Too hot to hike it from down below and I didn't have the time to do it from that route. Someday I'll hike it from the Fernwood Picnic area as originally planned. The last bit of road to Francis was a bit nervewracking but open all the way to Francis.

Beautiful day. It was good to meet 2 other SPers on the summit with their fun living dogs.
ecallahan - Jul 18, 2005 2:40 pmRoute Climbed: Francis Peak Date Climbed: 9 July 2005
Easy hike/stroll across the ridges. Decided to summit the smaller peaks along the way to make things more interesting. Dogs loved the many snow field crossings. Clear skies, but the blasted wind kept me from noticing a terrible sunburn developing.
mountaingazelle - Apr 30, 2005 6:59 pm Date Climbed: Nov 2, 1997Francis Peak, Kays Creek, Adams Canyon Date Climbed: Nov 2, 1997
July 4, 1995 - Drove up Farmington Canyon Road to Francis Peak and hiked toward Thurston Peak. There was a lot of snow still on the ridge.
November 2, 1997 - We traversed from Francis Peak to Thurston. It was late in the year and very cold. The ridge was covered in snow the whole way. The views are great and the summit plaque is very nice.
I've been up Adams Canyon many times. It is my favorite way to climb the mountain. It is also a good winter hike. Kays Creek is a long hike from the valley.
nebben - Apr 9, 2005 5:07 pmRoute Climbed: Farmington Ridge Date Climbed: June 25, 2003
I had been to Francis Peak (before 9/11) several times by car. Now, the gate was locked a mile or so below the summit. I followed the 4wd road around the East side of Francis, and eventually on a single track trail that went over the bumps of the ridge. It was all near sunset and just plain awesome. I crossed an eastfacing snowfield when it was slushy on the way to Thurston. On the way back, it was hard ice and extremely precarious in tennis shoes. Next time I'll kick better steps, bring crampons, or just avoid the snow slope altogether and go over the ridge. Fantastic views to the Uintas, Stansbury mountains, Little Cottonwood canyon, etc. Too many 4 wheelers come out after dark though.
I had attempted this peak at least twice previously as a teenager and only got up halfway before giving up because of excessive bushwhacking on the trail from behind the castle. (I hadn't ever tried on Farmington ridge before)
imontop - Feb 24, 2005 4:25 pmRoute Climbed: Adams Canyon Date Climbed: June 2003
I'll add the route later. If you want a challenge, this is the route. Alot of bushwacking, but most of that was my own stupidity! Oh yeah! Rattlesnakes! lots of 'em!
skirob00 - Feb 7, 2005 3:53 amRoute Climbed: Francis peak ridge Date Climbed: Feb 1 2005
Tons of snow. Hiked/Snowshoed from the gate below the weather station. This adds a mile or two on the trip but still a great winter hike away from the SLC crowd. Crampons would have been nice, a little icy on some of the east facing exposures in the A.M.
grandwazoo - Jul 11, 2004 8:08 pmRoute Climbed: Farmington Ridge Date Climbed: July-2004
Brought my mountain bike for the first mile or so and continued on foot to the peak, had the place to myself, great weather. Did the round trip in just over two hours... biked and ran a good portion of the trail.
MrWasatch - Apr 18, 2004 9:53 pmRoute Climbed: via Francis Peak, via Kays Creek Date Climbed: 1996, 2003
Very enjoyable via Francis Peak. Open ridges, great views. Not so enjoyable from Kays Creek, steep and long!

Dear B. Log,
My former butler and best buddy, Bradford Manners, has finally married the love of his life, Miss Ulily Mae Willow! And boy, was it the wedding of the century. (Technically, it should be called the wedding of the half-century, since it took nearly 50 years for them to tie the knot.) The point is, they have officially become Mr. and Mrs. Manners, and I couldn't be happier for them!
If you remember, they were reunited last year on Cinco de Mayo. (That's May 5 for non-Spanish speakers like me.) So naturally they decided to have a Mexican-themed wedding. Their wedding was one of the most colorful and festive weddings Odyssey has ever seen—also one of the most touching. It's a beautiful thing to witness the marriage of two people who faithfully trusted God to bring them together. In fact, there wasn't a dry eye in the church as they said their wedding vows.
The best part happened when the minister introduced them as Mr. and Mrs. Bradford Manners and the whole place exploded in applause. Then at the reception at Barn Again Arts, Mrs. Manners bashed open the wedding-cake piñata and sent candy sailing. Talk about a party!
About a week before the wedding, they asked me to design and construct an 8-foot-tall piñata. I spent roughly 5.2 million hours cutting and gluing and appliqué-ing layer upon layer of papier-mâché to make my masterpiece. By the time I finished, it looked super sweet—literally! Which could be due to the fact that I stuffed it full of Bradford and Ulily Mae's favorite candies.
I had originally planned to fill the piñata with 50 pounds of candy—one pound for every year Bradford and Ulily Mae were apart. But Mr. Whittaker thought people might get hurt if they broke open a piñata and had 50 pounds of candy drop straight on them. He convinced me to do a practice drop to test his theory. Turns out, he was right. It really hurts.
Getting slammed with 50 pounds of candy not only gave me a headache, but a tummy-ache, too. I had to eat myself out of the pile one candy at a time, until I finally surfaced for air. Thankfully I was smart enough to think ahead and fill the piñata with those orange marshmallow circus peanuts. I hoped it would soften the blow when they landed on me. Turns out, 50 pounds of anything hurts when it lands on you—even marshmallows. The worst part is, now I'm sick of circus peanuts.
Bottom line, I'm glad I took Mr. Whittaker's advice. His idea to test my piñata was pretty smart. It saved the lives of potentially hundreds of old ladies, kids and crazy uncles. Secondly, next time I drop 50 pounds of candy on my head, I'll be sure to use caramel corn or licorice. That way, I'll be eating my way to safety through something I love.

TOKYO, Oct 4 (Reuters) - U.S. 10-year Treasuries were steady on Thursday, as investors awaited a European Central Bank meeting and minutes from the Federal Reserve's September policy meeting later in the session.
* Investors will be looking for clues in the minutes from the Fed's September 12-13 meeting as to whether the Fed could buy more assets under its quantitative easing programme to stimulate the economy.
* The ECB is expected to hold interest rates steady as it awaits new details on the health of the euro zone economy and Spain's request for aid. That request would clear the way for the ECB to start buying government bonds in a new programme aimed at reducing debt-burdened countries' borrowing costs.
* "The ECB will pass on taking action this month, and ahead of nonfarm payrolls tomorrow, there a feeling that there won't be so much market movement today," said Tomoaki Shishido, fixed income analyst at Nomura Securities.
* U.S. nonfarm payroll data on Friday is expected to show that employers added 113,000 jobs last month, while the unemployment rate is seen rising to 8.2 percent from August's 8.1 percent, according to economists polled by Reuters.
Data from payrolls processor ADP released on Wednesday showed that U.S. private-sector employers added 162,000 jobs in September, topping economists' forecasts.
* The yields on 10-year notes stood at 1.63 percent, steady from late U.S. trade on Wednesday. * The 30-year yields were at 2.84 percent, slightly up from 2.83 percent in late U.S. trade.
* U.S. debt shrugged off a rise in U.S. stock futures , which gained 0.5 percent after a CNN/ORC snap poll of registered voters found 67 percent of respondents believed Republican candidate Mitt Romney won the first debate with President Barack Obama.

|RE: FtpServer in the incubator - help needed!
|Wed, 04 Aug 2004 04:44:58 GMT
Hi I had run the ftpserver in phoenix and it was working fine. I would like to know if it is possible to deploy the ftpserver.sar ( Avalon ftp component) in Jboss ? . What are the dependencies of the component on the avalon container ? It would be great if any of you could spare few minutes to clarify the above doubts . Thanks Muhad. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hammant [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2004 10:58 PM To: email@example.com Cc: Avalon Developers List Subject: FtpServer in the incubator - help needed! Geronimo Folks, Once upon a time, in the very early days of the incubator, a small project was moved there from the Avalon codebase. It was a bit of an unusual way for a project to move to the Incubator, and it did not come with the usual community dynamics expected of projects arriving in Apache. Essentially it was Rana Battacharyya and me. Rana used to work in the US, but returned home to India after the downturn (got married etc etc etc) and now dials up. The project in question was called FtpServer. It is wholly dependant on Avalon-Framework and the former Phoenix container. I'm half way thru refactoring the code to *also* be Constructor Dependency Injection (CDI) capable. That will mean that essential at the simplest, an embeddor could do .. FtpServer ftpServer = new FtpSeverImpl(); ftpServer.start(); Anyway, this stuff is too good to languish there uncompleted..... *What is needed is some new committers* Given that it would be so cool to run this puppy integrated with Geronimo (an optional GBean plugin), I think it would be great to solicit interest here. Now, we can't just say "you, you and you, you're in as committers" - Apache does not work that way, at least not for non-committers. What we can say is that patches will be recieved gratefully and in time, and on merit, invitations for committer /may/ be offered. That's the case for all Apache committerships - they're informally offered, never sought. In the mean time, from the Geronimo developers, those with a hankering to do more than they are doing - please duck into the projects@incubator list. TODO ... 1) Complete refactoring to so that FtpServer may be deployed without Avalon - note this is not the removal of Avalon capability 2) Put in GBean enablers (I say this thru gritted teeth Dain :-) 3) Work on Ftplet (think Servlet but for FTP instead of HTTP) 4) Unit / Integration tests :-) 5) Loom/Phoenix/Merin compatability work 6) Mavenisation Any others ? Avalon people - get interested too :-) - Paul & Rana --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Snowpack is a crucial component of California's water supply. While heavy winter or spring rains can bring replenishment to streams, rivers, and reservoirs snowpack levels also have a significant impact on water storage and supply. In spring months, long after rains have ceased, warm weather melts snowpack, replenishing reservoirs and rivers.
April 1 is typically the peak of snowpack levels for the water year. As is typical, temperatures begin to heat up as we move through spring and summer approaches, converting snowpack to increased reservoir storage. Visit our reservoir page for updated reservoir levels.
Snowpack measurements typically begin for the water year in January.
The atmospheric river that has occupied much of California for the last week has increased the statewide snowpack by more than 40 percent.

It would be nice if we had the option to set day light settings on or off with localization.
Ha, I have just found this discussion forum subject. I am in Sth Africa, my audience is mainly everywhere in the World, so on our website we use GMT as the advertised start times for our scheduled music. RadioJar's change to UK BST from GMT has thrown my schedule into disarray as we are not able to utilise the RadioJar time zone facility which continually defaults to BST!!! This effectively means we have to remember to schedule shows/playlists one hour earlier on the RadioJar schedule/calendar. I don't always remember.....so frustrating and no-one seems to be able to switch off that BST or Bloody Stupid Timezone!!
DST needs to switch automatically. I have to remember to schedule my show an hour later until the system catches up. Which seems to take a week.
We agree
Yes, please add DST option.

In addition, since it is an sink for kitchen it doesn't interrupt the natural flow of your kitchen counters, and it allows you to easily sweep countertop messes directly into the sink for cleanup.

Work behind the scenes in medical settings.
Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLT) work as members of the healthcare team, performing laboratory procedures that aid in diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Med Lab Techs perform blood collections, analyze blood and other body fluids, match blood for transfusions, and examine specimens for bacteria, parasites and other microorganisms.
Successful students demonstrate an interest in science and mathematics, accuracy, attention to detail, and ability to multi-task. The profession requires moral and intellectual integrity and a desire to contribute to quality healthcare.
The Medical Laboratory Technician program consists of five semesters (two fall and spring semesters and one summer term). The program requires clinical experiences at a laboratory off campus, which may involve travel to a site in Minnesota, Wisconsin or Iowa. Completion of all required courses with a grade of "C" or better is necessary to continue with the program.
Upon successful completion of the program, the student will be eligible to sit for the national certification examination by the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP). In addition, students may be eligible to transfer to the Medical Laboratory Science bachelor of science degree program at Winona State University.
The demand for Medical Laboratory Technicians is very strong. Employment in this field is expected to rise 16% from 2014 to 2024. The national median wage in 2016 was $50,930 annually (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook).
For those seeking a shorter-term education pathway, MSC Southeast also offers a one-semester, 9-credit certificate in phlebotomy. Phlebotomists draw blood for tests, transfusions, research, or blood donations and may work as lab assistants. In addition, having this certification can be an advantage in many other health care professions.

Patna: Dec. 19, 2007
In a fierce encounter between the law-enforcement officials and heavily-armed Maoists in Kadma in Western Champaran district on Wednesday, CRPF 153 Battalion DSP V. K. Kapil and two jawans were gunned down while three ultras were also shot dead though the police could recover the body of only one down extremist.
Reports said more than 60 ultras arrived at Lakshminia village in Sheohar district and invaded the house of village chief Kapildeo Narayan Singh. Finding the mukhia not at house, the Naxals took away his 25-year old son with them.
Sensing the police closing in, the ultras fled towards West Champaran where they engaged in a violent battle with Central Reserve Protection Force jawans led by DSP Kapil.
Kapil fell to a bullet fired by the ultras just as two other jawans were hit and killed, reports said.
More than a dozen security officials and several ultras were also hurt in the incident, the police said.
Senior police officials including S. K. Bharadwaj, IG Operations, and the IG of Muzaffarpur have arrived in Kadma to monitor the situation as hundreds of Special Auxiliary Police (SAP) and CRPF jawans have been engaged in combing the area to apprehend the criminals.

Raleigh, North Carolina, United States | Established. Jan 01, 2011 | SELF
In an unforeseen fluke of a cruel and unnatural world, five lost souls met in a dark, dank alley in East-Central-Mid-North Carolina, South-West-of-Raleigh, presumably for a West Side Story-style imbroglio (or brouhaha) over their mutual and perhaps overlapping melodic "turf", but somehow ended up jamming together, using only the finest modern electrified instrumentation, in a structure that proved to be a long-since-abandoned (and most likely radioactive) Elk's lodge. The result? The soft embrace of 80's synthesizers, the warm caress of distorted guitars, the inhuman howl of a singer gone quite mad. This musical aberration can easily be known as adjective, or in this case as noun, but simply goes by the moniker: Flimsy.

Fan Info:
"The Emperor's New Clothes is far and away the most successful of Chicago Shakespeare Theater's annual summer projects to draw in the thousands of families who visit Navy Pier. You'd be crazy to take your family or guests to Navy Pier this summer without seeing this show… Trust me, it's the best thing there. And the show skews slightly older than you might be thinking. Given all the kid-power tech in the show and the irreverence of the style, 'tweens sick of Miley Cyrus will have a great time. And if you appreciate new musicals of quality, no kid is required to attend. Young Alan Schmuckler will, mark my words, be a major Broadway composer. With the Great White Way littered with songwriters who keep trying and failing to set an audience's toes tapping, Schmuckler's particular talents could, to put it mildly, profitably fill a need. And if seeing for yourself is preferable to marking my words, you need only trot over to Navy Pier, where you will be treated to a veritable cascade of musical numbers that manage to be fresh, catchy and complex."— Chicago Tribune, January 01, 1970
"New spin keeps The Emperor's New Clothes popping. In their newly imagined 75-minute family musical, now at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, composer-lyricist Alan Schmuckler (who did such a beguiling job with How Can You Run With a Shell on Your Back?) and writer David Holstein have devised a wonderfully zesty hybrid of Andersen's fairy tale. Sophisticated enough for any adult, the show also contains just enough goofy vaudeville to entertain 10-year-olds."— Chicago Sun-Times, January 01, 1970
"Well-timed physical comedy, bright costumes and fun melodies engage young children, while the snarky lyrics and subtext will keep adults laughing."— Chicago Parent, January 01, 1970
"This update of Hans Christian Andersen, smartly directed and choreographed by Rachel Rockwell, sports a book by David Holstein that holds comic appeal for kids and adults alike; rising composer Alan Schmuckler provides a clever, winning score. The eight-member cast is uniformly terrific."— TimeOut Chicago, January 01, 1970
"Catchy tunes, eye-popping costumes, a magnificent fairyland set, a roly-poly jovial emperor with a pleasantly booming voice in the person of Don Forston—they're all part of The Emperor's New Clothes. the show fills a gap that theater rarely fills, appealing to teens and pre-teens with over a dozen jaunty songs and lyrics straight out of 21st-century jargon. Adults will appreciate the tongue-in-cheek references to the angst issues of our time. Oh what fun everyone will have in this fast-paced, delightfully updated version of this classic tale with music and lyrics created by Alan Schmuckler…"— The Beverly Review, January 01, 1970
"This show modernizes the classic Hans Christian Andersen fable, adding the spark and flare it needs to be a hit! All of the elements of this wonderfully silly play make it enjoyable for adults and children alike. It will have your foot tapping the entire time."— Cheeky Chicago, January 01, 1970
"The songs, composed by Alan Schmuckler, are energetic and help the younger children in particular to engage with the storyline. … There are enough new twists to this old story to make it fresh no matter how many times you've heard it."— Examiner.com Chicago, January 01, 1970

Full Contact Warfare
Young Mans Fate
While the self-publishing industry has created opportunities for aspiring writers to share their creative visions with the world some works simply do not belong in the public arena. This book is an example of not-ready-for-prime-time talent.
It is hard to tell whether this book is meant to be a graphic novel a screenplay or a live role-playing game. It has pictures like a graphic novel text like a screenplay and the characters have attributes similar to what one might find in a live role playing game. But it is clearly none of the above. Various drawings and maps including a lightly printed one on the opening spread suggest that Full Contact Warfare may have been inspired by a game.
There is very little descriptive text here but a fair amount of dialogue. In some places it is difficult to follow the plot partly because of a lack of internal consistency. For example even though the setting appears to be a low-technology world where warriors challenge each other on foot or horseback using primitive weapons some of them wear polyester clothing a synthesized petroleum byproduct.
One of the biggest drawbacks of this book is its lack of an introduction or any explanation about the book's subject matter. The first several pages are filled with crude pencil-and-crayon color illustrations. Since no illustrator is credited readers must assume that he did them himself. Beneath these sketches are rudimentary descriptions of various warriors. The layout of these pages vaguely resembles Naruto (or similar) trading cards with information including one to two sentences about the character along with his/her height eye color and choice of weapon. The various eye-colors ostensibly represent "characteristics" as they are paired with one-word descriptions that one might consider attributes. Some examples are green (strength) light blue (knowledge) white (athletic) and dark blue (ruthless).
The author certainly shows creativity and an understanding of battle. He includes several interestingly "choreographed" fight scenes. Unfortunately the approach he has chosen to showcase his talents is not particularly conducive to reading. A more standard graphic novel collaboration with a professional illustrator would likely be best. As it stands today this is a virtually unreadable and most likely unmarketable product. For such a high cover price readers will likely expect a longer more professionally packaged tome.

Hi, Greg,
thanks for the answer. Unfortunately template conditions are not a good option in my case. I need totally different templates for each record in DataView. These templates will come from a...
Is there a way to have a different Xtemplate per each record in a DataView? Ideally I would like to store the template string in the record itself. So, when the DataView renders, it should take the...
I would like to ask the same. I have done absolutely the same things as what lellimecnar said in his last post. I need to start dragging it programatically right after the dummy element is appended...
Executing sencha app build command, produces app.js with only this in it:
function _da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709(){};
There are no CMD errors printed. Where could be the problem?...
I try to use the sortablelist plugin, but usucessfully. List items become draggable, but they don't snap and reorder eachother. Here is the Sencha Fiddle example:
Seems this is not fixed yet even in 2.3
Any workaround?
This doesn't work too:
scope: this,
orientationchange: function(e) {
console.log('Alpha: ', e.alpha);
Thanks Jamie. I didn't upgrade via Sencha tools. I upgraded manually and compile SASS files manually via compass command under Linux. How can I force it?
I've just tested my app with ST 2.1.0 Beta2. It should look like this:
But unfortunately it looks like this:
I've compiled the CSS file with Compass as always.
Thank you for this note, but setting width and height doesn't solve the problem in my case. This is the code with set size to both, the Panel and the List:
var sitemapsWindow = {

I get this on Windows 7 with Sencha Touch 2.0 RC:
I have tried to compile SASS several times before with earlier ST2 versions with no success.
P.S. I've just compiled css files successfully...
Great! Is there a way to get the current Sencha Touch snapshot and test it with my app?
Unfortunately I suspected this answer. Is this issue only about CSS animations? If it is, maybe a temporary workaround for the app developers is not to use animations if the device OS is Android 3.0...
Thank you for this reply. I'm happy the toggle thumb issue is resolved, but I'm a little bit worried about the flickering issue. If it's that you think it is, isn't it going to be a show-stopper?
I write a Sencha 2 app and I test it on Galaxy S with Android 2.3.4. It feels almost perfect. However this happened when tested on Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0.
Anybody any idea? I try different things whole day and still nothing. I can't get the thumb's "dragend" event fired and I can't determine if the "change" event was invoked by setValue() or by thumb...
I think I need a "dragend" listener for the toggle thumb, but I can't find it.
Hi, I have a togglefield and its value could be set dynamically by setValue(). I need to fire an event on tap, not on every value change. I need the event to fire only when the togglefield is changed...
That was the first thing I've tried. It didn't work.
What I do is checking success parameter of the load event:
listeners: {
exception: function (proxy, response, op, opt) {
Then I get another error:
On line 3 in myapp.scss is this: @import 'sencha-touch/default/all';

A group from the Czech Republic has planned for a long time to participate in an Intuitive Painting course. Right after the Just Love Festival and Gurupurnima celebration, the energy was very special and strong, which supported the creative process of painting. The participants planned and painted their painting with lots of joy, every day - even on the last of three days - until late at night. In the
relaxed atmosphere of the Atelier, they created beautiful images of Radha Krishna, Shiva, Rama, Lakshmi and other gods/goddesses as well.
As Guruji has said, this kind of spiritual art work is a Sadhana, which supports our spiritual path as it helps to develop the intuitive power within us. (Enjoy these pictures!)

Study Claims Keeping Weight Records Threatens Fish Species, IGFA Responds
Of the 1,222 all-tackle records maintained by the agency, Schratwieser said less than 7 percent (85 categories) relate to species the IUCN considers threatened, and the study failed to note that only 15 all-tackle record applications have been received for those fish in the last 20 years.
Last week, the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) responded to a recently published study that called on the agency to cease record-keeping efforts for at-risk species, Science magazine's news site reports.
The study, published in the December 2014 issue of Marine Policy, claims that the IGFA is jeopardizing threatened fish populations by encouraging people to kill the largest, most fertile fish, including those rated as either vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It recommends abandoning the use of weight-based records and shifting toward records based on length.
IGFA Conservation Director Jason Schratwieser responded in an open letter saying the study's authors based their research on incorrect assumptions. "Their conclusion that a cessation of IGFA All-Tackle records for IUCN threatened species would 'result in an instantaneous reduction of fishing pressure on the most fecund members of these at-risk species, and would promote the recovery of their populations,' lacks biological credibility, when 1) IGFA All-Tackle record submissions for these species are rare events, and 2) commercial landings for many of these species are orders of magnitude higher than trophy fishing efforts," Schratwieser wrote.

the geeks at nasa's jet propulsion laboratory assembled a cluster using 33 apple xserves. the group ran the altivec fractal carbon demo and achieved over 217 billion (1/5 teraflop) floating-point operations per second, the best result for an xserve cluster. how the test was conducted and all the geek-deep details can be found at dauger research, inc. thanks to macslash for the link.

mostly everyone knows what clusters can do already. what's the point of linking a load of appleslaks up just so they can say they achieved 20% of a teraflop??
or is it just another case of apple users lagging behind everyone else?

|why? (9:54am est fri nov 15 2002)
lets see:
* we need a relatively cheap solution that can offer 1/5 teraflop for modelling physics?
* solaris, hp-ux and aix solutions are more expensive – linux and windows don't scale across multiple networked cpu's as well as os x systems?
* motorola g4's offer not only better power efficiency than x86 or other risc cpu's watts-for-ips', but as an added benefit offer an extensible, employable simd core?
* administration is far less time consuming on an os x cluster than other options for high-level functionality, drive monitoring etc. – yet offers the same low-level access of other *nix's
hope i helped clear that up for you…

i think your problem is your a user. osx kernel is bsd 4.4, i think because i don't use it. i think if you were a unix admin or manager you'd understand why. but i doubt that, because you haven't made a point yet, just a fool of yourself. – by bill gates
|*nix user & billgates (11:57am est fri nov 15 2002)
linux scales across multiple nodes just fine… that's not in contention.
what we need to keep in mind is that traditional linux adheres to a monolithic kernel scheme, whereas os x is a bsd-compatibility layer running atop a message-passing microkernel. (mmmmm.. message-passing)
i'd suspect that the higher-scaled linux superclusters are running mklinux (which is as much a "linux" as os x is a "bsd" – as a matter of fact, you could even run mklinux on xserves and achieve the same result.)
this particular test wasn't using a mach-aware clustering library, however. it was a simplistic implementation of 'pooch' which uses mpi akin to a beowulfe cluster.
to quote the article (despite the usage of 'smallbrained' mpi):
"these results were very repeatable. no evidence of an intrinsic limit to the size of a macintosh-based cluster could be found."
|when do i get to work for nasa? (12:04pm est fri nov 15 2002)
those nasa jet propulsion laboratory applied cluster computing group are so lucky. they were able to achieve over 1/5 teraflop & results were very repeatable. no evidence of an intrinsic limit to the size of a mac-based cluster could be found. buy some more nasa. – by tech

mac jedi, the mach 3.x kernal is microkernal, however darwin is monolithic and operates in a single address space.
"darwin uses a monolithic kernel based on freebsd 4.4 and the osf/mk mach "-apple
– by clause
|uhh… (1:27pm est fri nov 15 2002)
you're excluding a crucial chunk of that statement, clause…
"darwin uses a monolithic kernel based on freebsd 4.4 and the osf/mk mach 3, combining bsd�s posix support with the fine-grained multithreading and real-time performance of mach."
stressing "combined" and "with"
in userland, darwin is a monolithic bsd… under the hood, however, threads are being passed through the 'fine-grained multithreading' mach microkernel. (just as mklinux is a monolithic meat-n-potatoes linux to the app layer, yet is built atop an adapted mach mk)
the smarteymen at next-turned-apple have enacted several workarounds to cut the overhead that hinders a message-passing microkernel, and if i'm not mistaken, mach occupies a single 'virtual' address space in this pursuit, sharing all other portions of the entire kernel in this address space.

we ran the disk utility from the 10.2 upgrade cd and performed the permissions repair and a disk repair. permission repair found a bunch of errors but seemed to fix everything. drive repair said the drive was ok. we temporarily moved the iofirewirefamily file from the system but after restart it still said that file was a problem.
this is the first major problem we had with 10.2.
so for all you die hard mac fans only, i use both, both have their ups and downs. my experience with our macs at work has also proven that macs aren't as crash and error proof as the many die hard mac people say they are. so enough with the pc blue screen of death and illegal operations because alot of us are now using win2k and xp where that is now a thing of the past.

it is really nothing more than a dell, with a propietary mb, slow ram and more cost, minus 3d positional sound of course. they crash more now than they did prior to g3 and they will continue to have the same problems as any pc. how does it feel macheads to have nothing more than a pc that you pay more for, and soon won't even be able to choose what os you want on it? at least i wont have to emulate my fav os like you all will soon. and you say microsoft tells me what to do? sounds like apple is forcing you to do what they want, pay more for it, and beleieve it is superior. how sad. i see why for a while there you were all called lemmings….. – by :)

pc and mac guy has a point. the avarage person who bought a mac based on the switch ads, and is now installing their 10.2 update may be in for more than they bargained for.
zaping the pram does not always work. wer're into week two of getting the 20+ g4's at the office onto 10.2. black screens of death abound! besides, what a kludge pram is! ha ha ha ha…..
printing time is a joke. nuf said.
and just try to set up a network printer for classic apps from x.
xp is by far more plug and play at this point. and more stable.
it wouldn't be so hard to swallow if it hadn't been almost eight years since i bought a new mac to be able to use copland, and four years since i did the same so that i could run rhapsody.
10.2 for the amount of time that has gone into it is pathetic. – by clause
|i might be able to help…. (9:38am est mon nov 18 2002)
explain all hardware/firmware upgrades that have occurred to said g4's prior to the 10.2 installations. more specifically, is the firmware current at 4.2.8? if that prerequisite is met, the next logical trigger would be cheap ram.
refreshing the pram under os x does very little… many of the system diagnostics that were stored in pram under the old reich now subside in off-board repositories.
(i suspect pc mac guy updated the firmware on a machine that didn't specifically require it [i.e. wasn't extensively tested by cupertino] – or happened to have a peripheral on the firewire bus during the update that glitched the process… sucks, but avoidable when you're careful)

"xp is by far more plug and play at this point."
no it is not. i have former working hardware under windows 98 that will not work under windows xp. many of my former working hardware still works under linux. linux supports the most hardware now.
"and more stable."
yeah right. i still have blue screens of death on my windows xp. after a dozen updates from the vendor and microsoft, i have got it stable from a weekly bsod to bi-weekly bsod. this is progress for windows xp? linux is rock stable with the same hardware. – by linux guy

It's no secret that commercial trucks like tractor-trailers can be a dangerous addition to our state's highways and interstates. In bad weather, icy roads, and snowy conditions, this is even truer. What makes big rigs so dangerous in the snow?
- Even slower stopping times. Trucks can take the length of a football field or more to come to a complete stop when traveling at high speeds on a highway or interstate. In icy or snowy conditions, they need even more room to slow down or stop.
- Increased chances of jackknifing. Since big rigs consist of a cab and a trailer, one half of the vehicle might slip on slick pavement while the other half does not. This could cause the trucker to lose control of his or her vehicle – and for jackknifing to occur.
- Poor decisions to stay on the road. Just because it's snowing doesn't mean truckers can miss deadlines or stop working. Many truckers will continue to drive in the snow even though it is unsafe because they want to deliver their cargo on time. Others will drive faster than is safe for the conditions in order to reach their destination. Both choices can end in truck wrecks, injuries, and fatalities.
Have you been injured in a Virginia truck accident involving poor weather conditions? While some of these big rig accidents are likely due to the snowy weather and slippery road conditions, other accidents may have also involved a speeding trucker, a reckless trucker, or a poorly maintained truck. If you would like to seek compensation for your accident and injury, the Virginia truck crash lawyers at Shapiro & Appleton& Lewis can help you learn about your case. Call today and get your questions answered.

Caryl Churchill's scathing social satire "Cloud 9" — being staged at Connecticut Repertory Theatre's Studio Theatre space Oct. 23 through Nov. 2 — has many things in common with Tom Stoppard's play "Arcadia," which is playing through Oct. 25 at the Yale Repertory Theatre. Both show how British society has changed from the 19th century until now. Both veer brilliantly from high comedy to thoughtful philosophy to burning romance. Churchill's play preceded Stoppard's by about a decade, with a hit Off Broadway run in the early 1980s. It's become a staple of college theaters for its challenging roles; actors switch ages, attitudes and in some cases genders between the first act (set in 1880s Africa, when the region was still a British colony) and the second (set in London in the late 1970s). Churchill makes strong statements about race, sex, politics and rapidly changing times, and the actors have a wild time delivering those pithy political pronouncements. The Studio Theatre is on the University of Connecticut campus in Storrs. Performances of "Cloud 9" are Oct. 23, 29 & 30 at 7:30 p.m.; Oct. 24, 23, 31 and Nov. 1 at 8 p.m.; and Nov. 1 & 2 at 2 p.m. $7-$30. (860) 486-2113, http://www.crt.uconn.edu.

Graham Dolan is a highly-regarded and seasoned creative professional and, happily for the team at Farrimond and our clients, he's also our new Creative Director.
Graham's recent background is steeped in category-leading retail, direct response, digital and shopper marketing for a host of New Zealand household names. In 2015, a campaign he led won the Colmar Brunton Ad Impact Award for the month of December and the overall prize for the entire year. Most pleasingly for Graham, though, was that this recognition was backed up by even better sales results.
"What matters to me most is delivering tangible and successful outcomes for every client. I see Farrimond as the perfect place to walk that talk. The team here has built a formidable offering. They are true Shopper Marketing experts and that's evidenced by the blue-chip client list they've managed to assemble."
When he's not actively engaged at Farrimond, Graham and his wife Wendy keep themselves busy with their three children, two dogs and one cat. Graham also whiles away most of his winter Saturdays coaching a local football team. You'll find he's only too willing to discuss the relative merits of his beloved Glasgow Celtic and Manchester United should the opportunity arise.

Cotton is selected by considering the following points.
i) Fibre length, fineness, strength influences yarn strength & spinning value.
ii) Short fibre content, fineness influences on Regularity of yarn.
iii) Maturity and fineness of cotton determine neps generation at different stages,
iv) Trash % in the cotton -indicate- no of beating points treatment necessary in blow room.
II. Fibre quality Index '(FQI) = lusm / f
l u = product of 2.5 % span length in mm and uniformity
Ratio %(u) measured on digital fibrograph divided by ICC
s = Bundle fibre strength in g/tex at 3mm gauge
length. measured on stelometer.
m = maturity co-efficient determined by sodium hydroxide swelling technique,
f = fibre fineness or micronaire value (micro games/inch) FQI is a measure to assess the quality characteristic of the cotton required for spinning different counts with desired CSP values.
III. CSP ( Count Strength Product) = (310-count) √ FQI
IV. Maturity Co-efficient= (M + 0.6H + 0.4I)/100
Where, M,H and I are % of mature. Half mature and immature fibre respectively (Determined by standard sodium hydroxide
swelling technique)
vi) Fibre propensity for imperfection = trash % x short fibre % divided by Micronaire value
It is a useful tool in the selection of cotton for minimizing . the imperfections in the yarn and it should be maintained below : 16.

Q: This time of year I suffer from allergies due to all the pollen in the air. My eyes are itchy, my nose runs, I'm miserable. I take the usual allergy medications but hate the side effects. A friend of mine suggested acupuncture. Acupuncture really????
A: YOU BET. Up to 30% of Americans are bothered by seasonal allergies, and acupuncture can be a very effective treatment for providing relief. While spring and summer are the seasons of the year that bring us outdoors, many people are unable to enjoy these warmer months due to uncomfortable symptoms.
Acupuncture Allergy Treatment
While over-the-counter medications often come with unwanted side effects, such as drowsiness, acupuncture does not. This makes it a welcome alternative for people looking for a new way to combat allergies this season.
Acupuncture is defined as a method of preventing and treating disease, illness, injury or pain by allowing the body to heal naturally and improve the way it functions. This is done by stimulating biologically significant points on the surface of the body with tiny needles. The needles are so tiny that there is no pain or discomfort, and treatments can be performed once a week, or as often as three times a week.
In addition to treating allergies, acupuncture can be extremely effective for many other types of discomfort and pain. Give us a call and we are happy to provide a free consultation. Or simple schedule it on line (click below).

How User-Friendly Is Your Phone? Harvard Tests Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone and iPhone
He may not look it, but the guy on this picture is a legit researcher at Harvard. Apparently, scientists in the Human Factors in Informations System department (that's what it's called seriously) just conducted a study how user-friendly the top 4 mobile OS systems are for users who have never been exposed to smartphones. Don't ask me how they managed to find some smartphone-clueless guinea pigs, but the results are both hilarious and sad.
Despite their Ivy League status, their study isn't rocket science. The study involved asking several people to call someone, add a contact and send a text message on an Windows Samsung Focus, Blackberry Storm, Apple iPhone and HTC Thunderbolt. Before I get to the results, let me just say that the participants in the study weren't the smartest bunch. At the same time, none of these phones scored highly in each section with users having trouble completing even the most basic tasks.
From the video we can make the following conclusions:
Best Phone For Sending Texts: iPhone 4G
Best Device For Making A Call: Android (HTC Thunderbolt)
Best Phone For Adding A Contact: Windows Mobile Samsung Focus
What do you think of the results? Share your views in our comments!

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has contracted with RTI International to develop antipsychotic medication use quality measures (AP QMs) in nursing homes. The purpose of the project is to develop quality measures that can be used to provide quality care to Medicare beneficiaries. The public comment period provides an opportunity for the widest array of interested parties to provide input on the measures under development and can provide critical suggestions not previously considered by the measure contractor or its technical expert panel (TEP).
Specific project objectives: The goal of this task is to develop nursing home quality measures for antipsychotic medication use with the following parameters: 1) The quality measures are MDS 3.0 based; 2) The quality measures focus on both long-stay and short-stay residents (i.e., one for long-stay and one for short-stay); 3) The quality measures take into account that antipsychotic medication use may be appropriate under certain conditions; and 4) measures should be submitted for NQF endorsement with as few exclusions at possible. The developed AP QMs should be appropriate for public reporting. To achieve these objectives, RTI solicits public comments on two AP QMs: Percent of Long-Stay Residents Who Receive an Antipsychotic Medication and Percent of Short-Stay Residents Who Newly Received an Antipsychotic Medication.
Instructions for Providing Comments:
- If you are providing comments on behalf of an organization, include the organization's name and your contact information.
- If you are commenting as an individual, submit identifying or contact information.
- Please indicate which measures you are providing comments on. You may submit general comments on the entire set of measures or you may provide comments specific to individual measures.
- At the end of the public comment period, all public comments will be posted on the CMS Web site
Email your comments to: firstname.lastname@example.com. Comments are due by close of business March 15, 2013.

*post from 30.09.17*
I can't believe I am now in my final trimester!
I have really enjoyed the second trimester. The sickness has completely gone and I really took the time over the summer to embrace my new found energy!
I had a rocky start with finding the changes difficult, but I am fully embracing the bump. I am also really enjoying wearing clothes that properly fit me and I think this is helped me with my more positive attitude towards my body.
Over the summer, my dad helped me paint the nursery and the baby's room is looking lovely! It's definitely my favourite room in the house at the moment.
I also painted the living & dining room after seeing some gorgeous pictures in a House & Home magazine! I've already made a list of some new accessories I would like to add. I think I may be nesting!
I've also started organising the babies clothes. We have been so lucky in that all of our friends/ family that have had girls have passed loads of items down to us. Some outfits are brand new!
We have even bought some new clothes too - who can resist a babygrow?!
I can't wait to wash them all and hang them neatly in the wardrobe.
I'm most looking forward to our babymoon to Cornwall in October now. Not long until Term 1 finishes!

"Romantic central Riad with flickering lights and cosy rooms. Exceptional value for money. Elegant rooms in Berber style in creams and beiges. A place to impress."
Hotel Review
"Dar Fakir is a luxury riad of real style, and the best thing about Dar Fakir is the price - rates are well below those you would find elsewhere for this kind of experience. The rooms - just four suites and three doubles, ranging from 15-25 square metres - are elegantly furnished in Berber style and decorated in pale colours - creams and beiges. In common with most riads, the rooms face inwards, but in this case with large open doorways and shuttered windows that lend an air of living in a family house. "

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Borrowers who say OneWest Bank refused to help them when they struggled to pay their mortgages appeared Wednesday on Capitol Hill, where they urged the U.S. Senate to vote against confirming the bank's former chief executive, Steven Mnuchin, as Treasury Secretary.
The event, organized by Senate Democrats including Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, featured a handful of OneWest borrowers who spoke about their personal experiences.
They included an 86-year-old woman who said the bank ordered her to pay off a reverse mortgage or get out of her house after her husband died, and a Nevada mother of two who lost her home in 2010 after she was unable to secure a loan modification.
"Steve Mnuchin's company had no interest in helping us," said the Nevada mother, Heather McCreary. "They wanted to foreclose because they were focused on their profits."
Mnuchin, whose confirmation hearing is Thursday, is the latest of President-elect Donald Trump's nominees to find himself in the crosshairs of Senate Democrats.
Democrats have seized on his financial career during the housing crisis, when he bought discounted assets of the failed California lender IndyMac Bank.
He rebranded it as OneWest Bank. The institution was later accused by housing advocacy groups and others of engaging in overly aggressive foreclosure tactics. Mnuchin is no longer with OneWest, which was sold to CIT Group.
Mnuchin is expected to respond directly to the allegations in his testimony on Thursday, according to a copy of his prepared remarks seen by Reuters.
"In the press it has been said that I ran a 'foreclosure machine,'" he plans to say.
"This is not true. On the contrary, I was committed to loan modifications intended to stop foreclosures."
Democrats in the Republican-controlled Senate do not have the power alone to block Trump's nominees.
But that has not stopped them from trying to draw attention to their concerns.
One tactic has included holding informal hearings and inviting outside witnesses to testify - a method that was also used last week in an effort by Democrats to raise questions about Labor Secretary nominee Andy Puzder's record as chief executive of CKE Restaurants, which owns the Hardee's and Carl Jr.'s fast-food chains.
Puzder's confirmation hearing is slated for Feb. 2.

Cat Ear Mites – How To Get Rid of Them?
What is an Ear Mite?
Both dog and cat ear mites infestations are caused by the same bug. They are very small parasites that resemble ticks when viewed under a microscope. Ear mites burrow their way into the ear canal where they will begin to thrive on your pet's ear wax and skin oils. Just like any other organism, as ear mites feed they give off waste products. It's these waste products that cause the most discomfort to a cat suffering from ear mites in cats. They contain irritating compounds and bacteria that lead to inflammation and subsequent feline ear infections.
The most common way to diagnose a case of cat ear mites is by examining the discharge from your pet's ear. An infested animal will have a coffee ground like discharge with lots of wax and, in advanced cases, will show irritation in the area of the ears. This irritation can even cause feline hair loss. The discharge should be examined under a microscope to confirm the presence of cat ear mites since many ear infections are mistaken as an ear mite infestation. Because the ear mite is only seen as a tiny white speck with the naked eye, they may be near impossible to identify in infested cat ear mite discharge.
How to Treat
Cat ear mites can be treated in a number of ways. An important thing to remember when treating a pet for ear mites, though, is to treat all of the pets in the house. Ear mites are super contagious among cats and dogs and there is a chance of reinfection by your cat's house mates. A number of treatments for ear mites in cats are commercially available along with some treatments that are only available by prescription. The use of any of these treatments on a case of ear mites in kittens should only be done with approval from your vet.
Depending on budget and how much time you have to give to treatment, there are a few main choices. Topical ointments are readily available at low cost, but they can require daily dosage for up to three weeks. Injections can be obtained from your vet. These often eradicate infections with a few treatments. Injections can be expensive, though, and you will need to do them yourself. There are a small number of single dose treatments, but they are very expensive and your vet may take issue with the use of these powerful medications. Most importantly you should be sure the infestation is gone and be sure it is ear mites before beginning treatment.
