At last we seem to be having a run of less rain which is good news in terms of progress on site.
The new North Stand is probably being built on the worst part of the site. A culvert runs under the main car park at a depth of about 12 metres and the Broadway side of the ground is mostly fill material, except the area closest to the pitch which has a clay layer about a metre or so below the surface and which prevents the water seeping away. This has meant an almost daily pumping of water from the trenches for the last two months.
Fortunately we have now cleared this area and all the ground beams under the terracing areas are complete. In the pictures you can also see the bolt boxes in position ready to take the steel columns. The contractor is currently completing the rear beam adjacent to the car park and the two lift pits.
So, to the burning questions that I am asked more than any other, when will we see something coming out of the ground and how long will it take and what will happen? Unless we are hit with some severe weather over the next couple of weeks then at the Brentford game I'd expect you will see the first section of framework up and the first terrace units in place.
In terms of timescales, it is programmed that the steel frame and terrace units will take around 10 weeks to complete. By the Notts County game on the May 3, the stand will be well on the way.
The steel frame will be started on the half way line and then built out towards the Zen Office Stand and Verlin Stand with the concrete terrace units being installed in each bay as the stand progresses. The stand is made up of bays and to give an idea of how it goes together, below you can see the architects plan with gridlines marked on forming bays. The first part of the frame to be erected will be the bay on gridlines K & L. Once this bay is complete, a second gang will be brought on site. One will put the frame up on gridlines L & M and the other on gridlines J & K.
With a stand of this nature, it's not all about the spectator facilities. Whilst these are important in their own right, the stand will provide much more than a match day facility. There is a gym, private boxes, a banqueting and conference facility and a number of other units. There is much work going on behind the scenes talking to the end users of these units, finalising layouts and requirements and making any necessary adjustments to the drawings and ensuring they are approved by the relevant bodies.
Probably the person most pleased to finally see the steel frame going up will be chairman, Simon Corney. The number of meetings I've been to with Simon when he has been discussing the proposals of the new stand and showcasing the facilities we will be offering to potential tenants and partners is staggering and I've only been at a small number of the meetings Simon has done. Now when the parties come back for the next meeting, he will be able to show them something more than just a set of plans. It's coming together now and in a couple of weeks time the only way we will be going is up.

An initial hearing was held Wednesday for Michael Griffin, the Bloomington man charged with the murder of Indiana University Professor Don Belton. Griffin pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, which Judge Kenneth Todd said would bring a sentence of anywhere between 35 to 65 years in prison.
During questioning before his arrest, Griffin told police Belton had sexually assaulted him at a Christmas party two days before the Sunday murder. Griffin said he confronted Belton at his home in the 900 block of Madison Street in Bloomington before stabbing him to death. Griffin had brought a ten-inch combat knife and a change of clothes with him to Belton's, but police are calling it a "crime of passion" due to the multiple stab wounds.
Griffin's girlfriend, Jessica Greiwe informed the police of her boyfriend's alleged involvement of the murder. He is being held without bail at the Monroe County Courthouse.
A pretrial diversion has been set for March 1st.
Affidavit: Griffin Confesses to Belton Murder, Hearing Set For Wed
An initial hearing will be held Wednesday afternoon for 25-year-old Michael Griffin, the man charged with the murder of Indiana University Professor Don Belton. Belton was found dead at his residence early Monday morning from multiple stab wounds. Griffin will enter a plea at the hearing and a judge will determine his bail.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Jessica Greiwe, Griffin's girlfriend, called the Bloomington Police Department Monday and told them Griffin had confessed the crime to her. While being interviewed, Griffin told the police that Belton had sexually assaulted him at a party on Christmas Day.
Griffin said he had gone to Belton's with a change of clothes in his car and a ten-inch knife he had bought before going to Iraq with the Marine Corps. Griffin said Belton refused to admit the alleged sexual incidents were a mistake, prompting the fatal attack. Griffin then changed into clean clothes and threw the soiled clothes in a dumpster. Belton was a professor of English and Creative Writing.
Griffin's 2:30 hearing will be held Wednesday at the Monroe County Justice Building. A memorial service for Belton is being planned for 5 PM Friday in Bloomington's downtown square.
IU Professor Stabbed To Death in Home, Diary Leads to Arrest
Indiana University English Professor Don Belton was supposed to be in Hawaii Sunday when a friend, who was house sitting for Belton, discovered his body at his home in the 900 block of South Madison Street. He died from multiple stab wounds.
Lieutenant David Drake with the Bloomington Police Department says Belton's journal entries led them to suspect Michael Griffin, a 25-year-old Bloomington man.
"During the search of the victim's residence, we located a lot of journals and diary type items. One of the journals indicated—mentioned the name of Michael Griffin, and that was one of the last items where there was an entry in a journal," Drake said. "So we started to make attempts to locate Mr. Griffin just to see if he could shed any light on what may have happened. While we were doing this, we received further information that indicated to us that Mr. Griffin might be a potential suspect, rather than just an information source."
Drake says the journal entry left no clues about a conflict between Griffin and Belton, but the BPD then obtained a warrant to search Griffin's home. There they found a 10-inch combat knife spotted with blood, which they suspected was the murder weapon.
Griffin was then interviewed and arrested a short time later on murder charges.
During questioning, Griffin told officers he met Belton a few weeks ago at a restaurant. Belton then attended a Christmas party at Griffin's home. Drake says the suspect indicated a motive during the police interview.
"As far as a motive for the attack, without getting into specifics, the two men were acquainted and Mr. Griffin was upset about an incident that happened between him and Mr. Belton on Christmas Day," Drake said.
Belton taught in the IU Department of English and was a faculty member of the Creative Writing Program. He specialized in African-American fiction and non-fiction, often focusing on literary representations of black masculinity.
IU Provost Karen Hanson says the English Department is planning a memorial and the campuses counseling services will be stepped up in the coming days.

Ann Arbor Trip Report
Top 5 Reasons Why My Fateful Trip To The CT Show Sucked:
1. I forgot my shoes. I don't mean I forgot to bring that perfect pair to match my outfit. I mean I left my home completely unshod. There were no shoes in my luggage, in my car, or on my person. No shoes people, NONE! (There actually is a semi logical explanation but I think I'll just present the goofy facts and let the reader come up with her/his own wild story.)
2. The rental place was two hours late getting me my car. Well actually an hour and forty-five minutes since I spent fifteen of those minutes buying a freakin' pair of shoes.
3. I had to spend the whole trip hunting for radio stations because the "Sounds Of Detroit" CD box set I bought was full of badly recorded live versions and bizarre remixes. Techno "Tears Of A Clown?" Ew!
4. Outside of rush hour and outside of Chicago, I ran into a traffic jam that ran into two states! Do you know what was at the end of it? Can you guess? Three freakin' orange cones and one flashing light. That was it. Gah! Why can't people just GO?!
5. Stupid late car plus stupid long traffic jam made me completely miss the Friday night dinner with all my CT show friends. There was great conversation and laughter and gooey fistfuls of Stilton cheese and I wasn't there!
Top 10 Reasons Why The CT Show Was Awesome:
1. I did finally catch up with and hug all of my CT show buddies! The Titans put on a hell of a funny show, no doubt about it. But what keeps me coming back again and again are the friends I make at these shows. Nerds are so cool!
2. The opening act:
-Gruber's lip syncing shadow puppets!
-Mary Jo reads teh Wikipedia like no one can
-Trace Beaulieu, DVD super model deserves a Vulcan high five!
-Anatomical geography lessons from Gruber. Show us Florida!
-Intros from Joel mean it's time to start the show!
3. "East Meets Watts" live hurt me with funny. I have the hilarious DVD but it was double awesome live! I love that the way the riffs keep changing slightly to stay topical. They also added MST callbacks to pander to us like we like it. "Rock climbing Joel. Rock climbing."
4. The audience was awesome! If it wasn't sold out it was pretty darn full and they came ready to laugh. It was also the most diverse crowd I'd ever seen at a CT show. I rarely see kids at these things but there were quite a few at the early show. I noticed that the riffs were a bit more "family friendly" at the early show this time around too. I don't know whose idea that was but I liked it.
5. Mid-show visits with friends. It was a big full theater which is happy news for Titans! But it also meant us two show ticket holders were only allowed to go through the receiving line once. But I didn't feel the least bit deprived. I got some extra signatures on my CT fan shirt and I got to gab with some of the warmest, funniest, friendliest people you're ever likely to meet and I get to call them friends. I am a lucky woman.
6. The second show opening act.
-The Clown Song and WADD radio. Gruber and Josh really do have excellent
singing voices.
-"Convoluted Man" killed! I love it when that happens.
-Gruber raps to Al Stewart's "The Year Of The Cat." I love you Gruber.
That is all.
7. "The Oozing Skull" hurt me with funny. I loved the riff changes they made. It was my second favorite movie of the evening but I was still cracking up through the whole thing. No more "family friendly" at this show. It was grown-up time and I liked that very much too!
8. Post show chatting with Gruber. I got to take two pics with him. He wanted one more with us fake laughing which would have been awesome but unfortunately I think the time just got away from us. Ah well, there's always the November show if he's still interested in that sort of thing. Apparently you never know with Gruber!
9. Post show chatting with Titans!
-I lamented to Josh that I still had no photographic evidence that I'd ever met any of them.
-I made Frank laugh! Well okay it was a courtesy chuckle. My comment wasn't that funny. But still! He has a great smile and I like that I made it happen.
-Mary Jo thanked me for coming to the show. She was gracious as always
-Brief but nice chat with both Trace and Joel about my town and its TV stations and the now defunct Time Museum.
-These guys are all absolutely awesome and I can't emphasize that enough!
10. Closing down the joint yammering with friends. We stood around gabbing so long that the autograph line finally ended. I accosted the poor tired Titans as they were leaving and finally, on the 5th try, I have a picture of myself with the whole CT gang! It's glaucoma blurry but by God everyone is visible so it's posted on Facebook! It took us a further hour to say "goodbye" to each other outside the theater but we finally did manage to call it a night!
(If you know me at all you knew there'd be tap dancing before this post was over.)
Top 3 Reasons My Friends Rock:
1. They will make a tired, hungry house guest an egg sandwich at 3 am when she didn't have any dinner plus stay up and chat plus supply sacks full of snacks for the long road trip home. Yummy!
2. They share their home with 6 gorgeous PUMA sized kitties. Many of them were gracious enough to allow me to scratch their ears and bellies. There's nothing like the seal of approval from the real owners of the house.
3. Reconnecting with warm, wonderful friends and cementing bonds forged during another fantastic trip to another CT show. (Don'tcha love it when stuff comes full circle?)
Top 1 Reason I'm Glad I Stayed For Breakfast The Next Day:
1. Not even the constant shower of poop from angry squirrels could dampen the great time with all my fabulous friends. Thanks for a fun post-birthday celebration guys!

Seed Coatings and Storage?
Has anyone read about (or tried!) any experiments with seed coatings (either organic or inorganic in the chemical sense)? I have read that most seeds "dying" is from dehydration over time. If that is correct, then it seems like some type of coating similar to the food wax used commercially on fruits could be used to prolong seed life. Particularly if the coating also had some antibacterial properties.
My second question is more mundane. When you see "dark seeds," are they typically defective? I find normally on a ripe tomato that saving seeds will produce maybe 1-2% "dark seeds." Sometimes they look otherwise perfectly normal. I always cull them, but I also do find them frequently in commercial seed packets.

I don't know about the coatings, I generally get adequate germination from tomato seeds up to 10 years old and don't store them in any special conditions.
I was curious about the dark seeds a couple of years ago, so saved out the dark seeds from various drying seed batches and germinated them. I found that between 10-20% will germinate normally. I didn't keep any records the first time I did this, but the second time I saved seed from 12 varieties for a total of 171 dark seeds. Only 25 germinated, which is close to 14-15%. I didn't separate out the all dark seeds from the partially dark pinto seeds, so that could make a difference in which germinate. So my conclusion is that if you have a lot of seed for a variety you might as well discard them, but if it's few seeds for a rare variety doesn't hurt to give them a try.

I tried germinating the "pinto" ones- light seeds with a black spot or two. Those germinated at a pretty good rate.
As for a waterproof seed coating, I suppose it would keep out the water when you planted the seeds, and thus inhibit the germination? Instead, how about something like those pelletized coatings they sometimes use? It would be water-permeable, but still be an extra layer of "insulation" to keep the seed from drying out.
How about packing them in something like sawdust or sand? If the medium had the same percent H2O as the seeds, would it keep the seeds at proper moisture longer? No %water differential between the two.
Or what if you vacuum-sealed the seeds, like Seal-A-Meal, so there is nowhere for the seed moisture to go?

A tomato seed packet from botanical interests had the seeds in a foil pouch.
It is the 1st time I have ever seen tomato seeds like that,normally only pepper
The seeds germinated better than fresh seed recently bought.
The seeds were 3 years old.

For dark seeds, I think it depends on why they're dark.
I had no trouble at all sprouting tomatoes I received in a trade once where every seed of the variety (which was coincidentally named Black) was dark. When I saved seeds from my Black tomato fruits, the seeds weren't dark; so, I'm guessing it was stains from the fermentation or something. From my own saved seeds (and I save a *lot*), I've only had a batch of seeds be dark like that once that I recall, and that was with an overripe Black from Tula fruit (every seed was dark; they were dark without fermenting them; I haven't tried sprouting them, but I suppose they will sprout). My guess is they just experienced some weird fermentation or staining in the fruit or something. As long as they're not rotten, they're probably fine. Taking the seed coat off may reveal things. I'd take precautions against disease anyway, though (just in case; I zap my seeds with a Z4EX; some people might soak with a little bleach or hydrogen peroxide; some people might re-ferment them).
When seeds rot, it usually starts with a spot on them, rather than the whole seed being dark, in my experience (it sounds like even some of those with spots might sprout, though!). If the whole seed is another color, they may be fine. Some tomato seeds are other colors besides dark and the regular tomato seed color. Most seeds are normal under a UV flashlight, but I've noticed that a certain percentage of them seem to get the same look that a milk jug gets under UV light (but it's just the color; the seeds can sprout). I wonder if those seeds block UV rays and are capable of staying viable longer in the sun.
Anyway, as my experience with dark seeds is limited, take it with a grain of salt.

The dark seeds might even be a genetic trait that just doesn't show up all the time, but I think it's likely just stains.

Some seeds come coated in stuff. I think that's just to make them visually easier to distinguish between other seeds made other colors in the same packet, but I could be wrong. It might extend the life of the seed.
One seed store I shopped at once vaccuum packed its seeds for extended shelf-life.
The ancients (or people hundreds and/or thousands of years ago) sometimes put seeds in clay balls in caves. People discovered some of those and found they were still viable after a super long time. Maybe perfect the art of making clay balls! It's probably very doable. Having your own cave might be a little harder, but we don't know if the cave is necessary. Maybe use a root cellar, or just put them wherever. I imagine the clay insulates well.
They put other things in clay balls besides seeds, though (e.g. some valuables; perhaps jewelry).

Usually, the coating on seeds (not "pelleted" coatings) is some form of fungicide. It can help germination under poor "soil" conditions. For some direct-planted crops like peas or super-sweet corn, it works great, especially in colder soil; for tomatoes, probably doesn't do much one way or the other.
In my own experience, I believe that my seeds now last longer, because I have stored seeds in little plastic bags and keep all the packets in a zip-lock bag with a silica gel packet inside. It is pretty easy to still get 50-60% germination off tomato seeds that are 10 or 11 years old. But it does take extra time -- usually two weeks. I had this experience with "Vilma" this past January with two batches of seeds -- 9 and 10 years old. Also, older seeds in unopened Park's "Paks-O-Gold" that the former owners used always seemed to provide better than expected germination.
Once, when talking to Tomato Growers Supply, they explained that some (new-old stock) Burpee Orange Pixie hybrid seeds that I wanted were going to be taken out of an unopened can, and ultimately, they germinated great for me. Now admittedly, for most of us, that is totally unnecessary, especially if growing OP varieties. For hybrids, it might be more useful, if you get one that you really like. You never know when it may no longer be available.

Working from home - Yay or Nay?
Working from home has been a hot topic in recent years, often tauted for its benefits in lifting work productivity and overall work-life balance. So what are the cons and pros of working from home?
Pros of working from home
1. Avoid traffic congestion during peak hours
There is no need to squeeze with other commuters in public transportation or get stuck in frustrating traffic jams.
2. Flexible working hours
Employees get to dictate their working hours that maximize their creativity and productivity, as they can freely opt to work at hours where they perform at their peak.
Typical Singaporean working professional V.S Australian working professional
3. Less stress
Another benefit of working from home is that employees have the luxury of running solo - Nobody is directly supervising or watching and the environment is free from common work distractions such as phone calls or other non-relevant work discussions that happen around the office.
Cons of working from home
1. Other Distractions
The freedom of being able to dictate what you can do during your working hours does not come without a set of its own issues. A lack of discipline and focus could cause employees that are working from home to dabble in non-work related things. In addition, the lack of a conducive work environment at home could lead to reduced productivity, as employees may feel less motivated to work due to the lack of interaction with similarly hard-working peers during the course of a workday.
2. Hard to separate personal and work life
Having flexible working hours sound great but if it could also mean that the lines between your personal and work life will be blurred. Not being able to strike a proper balance could lead to employees feeling burnt out and reduce overall work productivity.
3. Miscommunication between employer and employees
The nature of working from home could lead to limited communication and interaction between fellow employees and the employer. While emails and video calls are ubiquitous and easily available, the lack of face-to-face, in-person interaction could lead to miscommunication or gaps in peer-to-peer bonding.
As you can see, there are pros and cons for working from home. But, how do we determine if it is suitable for the organization and the teams that you manage?
Here are some factors to weigh upon:
1. Does your team(s) have a lot of self-discipline?
2. Are your employees easily distracted?
3. Are your employees organized?
4. Are your employees able to work without constant supervision?
5. What are your employees' preferences – Do they like to work at home or would they prefer to work together in the office?
Are you ready to work from home or are you not?
Working from home may boost work-life balance and work productivity, but it comes with its own set of challenges as well. Perhaps the best way to get started on exploring if working from home is a viable option for your employees is to set aside some time to kickstart the conversation with your team on this, and how it can help create a better workplace environment today!

Writing this story is not, by any means, a simple feat. To memory, I can only recall telling this story two times in my life. I still continue to feel fear at how people may respond to one of the most painful moments of my life. But Maya Angelou once said that there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you… and I am beginning to realize how accurate she is.
I was eleven years old. During that time, I was an outcast, a "loser," a black sheep, a reject. Coming from a poor, immigrant family, my parents could not afford me nice clothes or shoes to wear like all of the other "cool" kids. My mother forbade me from wearing make-up. And it did not help that I was a little socially awkward, and the only "Asian" kid in my class. I stood out like a sore thumb, and people picked on me and made fun of me daily, though I did not know them and they did not know me. Although I had a group of friends initially, they soon ostracized me for reasons unknown and began to pick on me too. I had no one. And the thoughts that reverberated in my mind were, "What did I do to deserve this? Why do people hate me so much? There's nothing I can do to stop them. I'm hopeless. There is no one. I am alone."
My parents were always at work, and my siblings abhorred helping me… because one of the family rules I had growing up was, "Don't ask for help. Figure it out yourself." So I had no one to turn to. No one in my life to help me, to tell me that someone's treatment of you didn't define who you are, that it was fucked up what they did to me. That I was beautiful, not ugly, stupid and weird like the kids at school were drilling into my head.
One day, after a group of girls in my neighborhood had thrown rocks at me for the umpteenth time, I remember I was sitting on the couch in our living room, sobbing and crying, drowning in my pain. I was home alone and thinking, "Is there no escape to this? Will this be my life?" My thoughts turned darker as I sunk deeper into my depression, sadness and pain, and I begun to consider something that no person should ever consider, especially one so young. I want to die. If I kill myself, the pain will stop. If I kill myself, I can finally escape.
And so, I went to the kitchen, tears still streaming down and stinging my eyes. I let out a sob as I opened the drawer and pulled out a kitchen knife. I pricked the sharp tip with my finger, my view getting blurrier. Gripping the handle, I thought of stabbing myself deeply in the heart, with the intent of meeting Death and ending all the agony and suffering. It is the only way. Please God, just let it end.
But as I raised the knife slightly closer to my chest, my vision was suddenly blinded by a translucent, white light. It was one of the most surreal experiences I have ever had in my life. Clouded by the fuzzy white, I heard a voice, strong and clear, ringing in my ears: Anna, put the knife down. Do not do this to yourself. Put the knife down.
To my very bones, I knew and recognized that voice as God's.
Instantly, the urge to drive the knife into my heart vanished and I slowly placed the knife back in the drawer. The pain was still beating heavy, but it became evident then that I could not follow through with my intent. One moment there, one moment gone, I knew God had just intervened in the precise second that I needed him, when I wanted to give into my demons and take my life. At that time in my life, there truly was no one to turn to in my world. But I was never alone. I realized later that in His intervention, God kept me from making my most fatal assumption. He saved my life.
This is my untold story. This is one of my deepest pains, bare and open for you to see. I've held it inside me for fifteen years of my life, afraid of others' judgment. But I no longer wish to hold it inside anymore, and have the shame eat at me, perpetuating my agony. I hold no shame, and I own my pain. Although I did not know this at the time, the pain was molding and shaping me, turning me into the sensitive, insightful, compassionate person I have grown to become. Although I still struggle with my demons as a result of my experiences, as C. S. Lewis argues, pain shapes us into the person we have the potential to become, like a piece of silver being refined in the fire. We are made perfect in our suffering, even though many times when we are in our suffering, it is difficult to see. For me, it was very difficult indeed, and I was so young. But that did not deter Him. He came for me before I could give up.
But this is not a story of shame. It is a story of success. Because I am alive today, dedicated to making a positive impact as a therapist, and with my words.
For anyone who also has an untold story inside them too, I urge and encourage you to speak up. Speak out. Do not let the shame, guilt or pain take the wheel of your life, keeping you bound. Your experiences are completely valid, regardless of what anyone says. There is a purpose, a function to your pain. And you are not alone. Please tell me, and others, of your story. You deserve to be attended to. You have a voice that deserves to be heard.
I am a survivor. I am a fighter. And if you are alive today, reading this, so are you.

Is it possible to enable a Linux or OpenSolaris based server to process standard unix login requests without spinning up the hard drive holding the root partition?
I have a Nexenta-based (1) server that uses a very old 40GB PATA drive for the root partition which could not reside in the main storage array (nor would I want it to, though it does back up to it). It performs well because everything that actively accesses storage uses the SATA raid2z array. This means that the root partition itself is actually completely inactive and the 40GB disk is usually left asleep.
Or rather, almost completely inactive. Login requests require the drive to spin up, causing both annoying login delays and unnecessary strain on this old drive which could otherwise remain completely dormant.
As far as I can tell, the drive is only accessed to read the passwd and shadow files, and I'm surprised that these do not remain cached in memory after first being read and thereafter unmodified. Is it possible to explicitly keep them cached, relocate them elsewhere, or otherwise prevent the root partition from having to spin up? (2)
- For those unfamiliar, Nexenta is a variant of Ubuntu that uses the OpenSolaris kernel and tool chain while supporting the Debian tool chain as much as possible. For the most part, I have access to the capabilities of both.
- Please note that I do not consider a suitable solution anything that breaks logins or bootup when the storage array is not present.

IPGC golf from The Haven
Monday, July 11, Century Chonburi – Stableford
1st Mark Armstrong (26) 42pts
2nd Rod Howett (23) 36pts
3rd Jens Gunnarsson (14) 36pts
4th Graham Davis (7) 36pts
5th John Squitiero (18) 35pts
6th Tony Barritt (15) 34pts
Having recently made mention of several courses that are trying to deal with the economic downturn in the world in general, and Pattaya in particular, by being very aggressive with their pricing compared with their usual levels, special mention should be given to Century Chonburi, who while never ever having been among the top pricing levels have surely turned the clock back with their latest deals.
It would appear that for a golfer sharing a cart, including green fee and caddy to be paying 500 baht is almost too good to be true and surely cannot be continued for too long a period. Even when the cost for a single golfer including cart, green fee and caddy is as high as 700 baht there would not seem to be enough money available to be able to present the course in a good playing condition.
Mark Armstrong.
But this was certainly not the case on this day, when the greens were found to be in excellent shape and the course generally, although a little untidy in places, was as good as many to be found at three times the price at other venues in the area. While there is still a dearth of sand to be found in the bunkers, a sensible local rule for the day overcame the problem and the scores fairly reflected the playability of the course with the CSS for the day remaining unchanged at 72.
Mark Armstrong shot a lifetime best to take his first ever win in any type of competition, in any country, with a six under handicap round that left the best of the rest some six shots adrift.
The best of those was Rod Howett with a marvelous count-back of 22 which was just enough to take second and edge Jens Gunnarsson into third place by a single point.
Graham Davis was in the same count-back but could only manage a solid level handicap over the outward and inward nines and so settled for fourth.
John Squitiero at one over handicap took fifth with Tony Barritt making a steady return to competition golf with a solid two over handicap round one more back in sixth.
Rodney Hayes cleaned up the first division '2's pool with a beautiful shot into the fourth, while Mark Armstrong put the icing on his day by adding the 2's huge roll over in the second division, with a magnificent '2' on the almost impossible seventeenth which had been set up at almost two hundred yards uphill with the flag only just in view. The pot for this feat was even bigger than the winning cheque.
Before presenting the prizes The Doc welcomed back Yukio Kikuchi, Jens Gunnarsson, Brian Henderson Mike English and had a special, and fond mention, for the return of Barry Traynor whose immaculate completion and handwriting of his partner's scorecard is an object lesson that many would do well to attempt to emulate and which would greatly assist the dodgy sighted scorer.
Friday, July 15, Rayong Country Club – Stableford
1st John Mabry (23) 41pts
2nd Rod Howett (23) 37pts
3rd John Squitiero (18) 34pts
4th Tom McCarthy (20) 33pts
5th Mike Hill (24) 33pts
6th Masanori Takano (9) 33pts
With the Bank Holidays coming thick and fast during the last few weeks, the search was on to find yet another course where the greens fees were at a reasonable level. This was found to be the case at Rayong where sharing a cart, a pair of golfers could expect to part with just 900 baht each, a fantastic deal for a holiday price.
With the recent heavy weather having affected the course, the day's competition was arranged to be played under winter rules with 'lift and place' in the fairways only which tended to assist the higher handicappers in the field but ensured that the day was enjoyable whilst still being very competitive.
John Mabry became the second player in the week to claim his first victory in Thailand with an outstanding round that also turned out to be his lifetime best net score, which resulted in a very happy day even though it was to be his last in Pattaya for a few more months, as he was returning to the USA after his short break here. When he next returns it will be to a three shot lower handicap, which following the news being broken to him left him delighted.
Rod Howett was the bridesmaid for the second time in the week although improving by a stroke and with the CSS for the day moving out to 74; it ensured that he will, much to his delight also, be a shot lower in the coming weeks.
John Squitiero, who has played to or just under his handicap 50% of the time during this trip, once again showed strongly with a two over handicap round that left him in third place and among the prizes once again.
Tom McCarthy, whose attention to detail on the driving range and with the scribe's spelling, is making considerable progress even though the tangible signs are not to be seen in his handicap yet. He is becoming one of the players regularly seen on or around the podium and on this day he took fourth with a better count-back of 18 to 17 over Mike Hill as the latter stalled at the last hole, which left Masanori Takano back in sixth, three further behind over the back nine.
Graham Davis slipped in the only '2' in the first division while Dave Spendley and Brian Henderson shared the second division pool with one each.
Before the presentations there was a welcome to a new player with The Haven group in the form of Adam Oyston, the winner of the third division in Wednesday's IPGC monthly Medals at Bangpra. There were also welcome backs for Shuichi Kodaka, Masanori Takano, John Mabry and Dave Spendley plus a farewell to Jens Gunnarsson who is returning to sea after a very short break.
Note: As from the 1st of July the Haven departs Soi 13 at the earlier time of 9 am until further notice. If you would like to play with The Haven group you can contact mobile 082 219 0965 or call in to the hotel at 185 Soi 13 between Beach Road and 2nd Road. All transportation to the course is arranged and you do not need to sign up prior to the day, but you should be there by 8.30 on Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays and 9.00am on Sundays on the days you wish to play. A schedule of courses to be played can be found on our web site at www.thehaven-hotel.com.

An awesome book for Scala
I decided to learn Scala as a new language. I've heard a lot of good things about it. I looked at some basic stuffs in it and it seems to be a cool language. It's based on the JVM, thus it stands on the shoulders of giants :)
I found an excellent book for learning it called "Scala for the Impatient" (Amazon link). Here you can download the first 9 chapters legally, and they nicely cover the basics that let you get started. I just finished the first chapter (13 pages) and it teaches you a lot. At the end of each chapter there are exercises, so you can test your knowledge and you have a feedback of your progress. I think a programming book without exercises is worthless.
Last week I started to work with the book "Programming in Scala" 2nd ed., which is written by the author of the language. I read the first four chapters (116 pages) but it goes in all directions. It talks about advanced stuffs at the beginning and it doesn't explain the basics well. After the four chapters I had the impression that I still know nothing about Scala…
"Scala for the Impatient" seems better to my taste. I should buy the complete book.

"In these two books, the authors of four dozen open source applications explain how their software is structured, and why. What are each program's major components? How do they interact? And what did their builders learn during their development? In answering these questions, the contributors to these books provide unique insights into how they think.
If you are a junior developer, and want to learn how your more experienced colleagues think, these books are the place to start. If you are an intermediate or senior developer, and want to see how your peers have solved hard design problems, these books can help you too."

Getting started with the D programming language
"Ignore all the people who tell you it can't be done. Telling you it can't be done means you're on the right track." (Walter Bright, creator of D)
New year, new language to learn :) I heard about D some years ago but I forgot about it. Last weekend I was browsing some computer books in the library when I found The D Programming Language by Andrei Alexandrescu. "Wow, I heard about it…" I read the preface and I decided to dive into it. So in the future I plan to make some posts about D.
D has two versions, D1 (which is old), and the new D2 (which is recommended for new projects). Visit the page http://www.digitalmars.com/d/download.html and download the package that is suitable for your platform. There is a .deb package for Ubuntu, a Windows installer, etc.
Hello, World!
To try D, let's start with the classis example (
import std.stdio; int main() { writeln("Hello, World!"); return 0; }
Compile it:
dmd hello.d
It will produce an executable (
hello) that you can run with
Hello, World! as a script
It is also possible to write "scripts" in D. Just add the shebang line to the beginning of the source:
#!/usr/bin/rdmd import std.stdio; int main() { writeln("Hello, World!"); return 0; }
Notice that this time
rdmd is used instead of
dmd! Make the source file
hello.d executable (
chmod u+x hello.d) and launch it with
./hello.d. The source will be compiled and the produced binary file will be cached. If you launch
hello.d again, the source won't be compiled again unless you modified it.
Digital Mars D compiler
Based on the Digital Mars compiler suite. I showed its installation above.
Gnu D compiler
Based on the Gnu compiler collection.
sudo apt-get install gdc
LDC compiler
Based on the LLVM compiler.
sudo apt-get install ldc
LDC doesn't support D2 or Phobos, but D1/Tango.

How to Apply
How to Apply for a Micro Grant
You must either apply for an Artist's Supply Grant or a Project Grant, not both. This is a small grant for artists in need and there is a quick turnaround time. We try to notify applicants of their status within three to four weeks of their application, or sooner.
Application Process:
There is no application form. Artists must be able to clearly define their need for the grant, specific supplies needed, or the project they are proposing funding for in 2000 words or less in a .PDF format.
You should submit six images that best represent your work – or no more than four pages of written work (in a separate .PDF file) – in low resolution 72 DPI .jpg format, where the widest or longest side is no more than 1000 pixels.
Please provide the title, date, medium and size of each of your submissions in the body of the email and make sure your images correspond with the image list by titling your images like so: Firstname_Lastname_Title.jpg. or Firstname_Lastname_Title.PDF for writers.
Also provide your resume or CV in a .PDF format. If you do not have a CV, then a short narrative biography under 500 words will suffice.
Please send your .PDF files and/or .jpg attachments to: email@example.com.
How to Apply for a Mentorship
Artists must be in their beginning phases of their art career. We define a beginner as an artist that is committed to their practice but has not yet had major gallery representation or a major solo exhibition in a commercial space. This is differentiated from an artist that is "emerging," so MFA student need not apply for a mentorship.
First year undergraduate students are eligible for a mentorship as long as the above applies to their artistic practice. Self-taught artists are especially encouraged to apply. However, we are looking for artists that are both ambitious and very serious about their process and future artistic careers.
Application Process:
Please submit 10 images of your best work in .jpg format, or 10 written pages as one .PDF file. Visual images should be low resolution at 72 DPI and no larger than 1000 pixels at the widest or longest side.
Please provide the title, date, medium and size of each of your submissions in the body of the email and make sure your images correspond with the image list by titling your images like so: Firstname_Lastname_Title.jpg or Firstname_Lastname_Title.PDF for writers.
Also include a no more than a 3000 word narrative about yourself and answer the following three questions:
1. What were your last two accomplishments in which you are most proud of in your art-making practice? (This can be a project or artwork within your process or in regards to merits in your career.)
2. How do you think having a mentor would advance your practice as an artist?
3. What would you say are your main weaknesses and strengths as an artist at this juncture in time?
Separately, please write a short Artist's Statement to the best of your ability in less than 500 words and save it as a .PDF.
If you do have a resume or CV, you may send it (also as a .PDF file), but please do not send any other superfluous materials, as they will be disregarded.
Please send your .PDF files and/or .jpg attachments to:

Up to 200 sets of remains belonging to American servicemen are expected to be transferred from North Korea to the U.N. command in South Korea in the next few days, two U.S. defense officials confirmed to Fox News.
The officials say the returned remains will be shipped to Hawaii, where they will be examined by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency for identification purposes. The number of remains expected to be transferred was first reported by CNN.
Word of the transfer comes one day after the Pentagon announced it was suspending joint military exercises with South Korea before the next major war game, Ulchi Freedom Guardian involving some 17,500 American troops and 50,000 South Korean forces scheduled for August.
Last week, President Trump told Fox News that North Korea will begin turning over remains to the U.S. following his summit meeting with dictator Kim Jong Un.
"They are already starting to produce the remains of these great young soldiers who were left in North Korea," Trump told "Fox & Friends" Friday morning. "We're getting the remains, and nobody thought that was possible."
More than 7,800 Americans have been unaccounted for since the Korean War, which technically never has ended. According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency's website, North Korea has returned the remains of at least 3,200 Americans since the signing of the armistice suspending hostilities in 1953.
Most recently, joint U.S.-North Korea military search teams conducted 33 joint recovery operations between 1996 and 2005 and recovered 229 sets of American remains.
Washington officially broke off the program because it claimed the safety of its searchers was not guaranteed. Critics of the program also argued the North was using the deal to squeeze cash out of Washington, calling it "bones for bucks." The total cost to the U.S. to carry out the joint missions was $19.5 million.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Attorney Offers Casey Whereabouts To Highest Bidder
Lawyer: Client Will Sell Casey Info
An Orlando attorney sent an email to WESH and other news organizations Friday that stated a client had information regarding the whereabouts of Casey Anthony -- information the client is willing to release to the highest bidder.
Once the bidder has had the opportunity to verify and confirm the accuracy of the information regarding Ms. Anthonys whereabouts, the escrow shall be released, read attorney A. Nicole Weaver's email.
WESH does not pay interviewees for their story and would not bid on such information.
Click Like For Casey Anthony Updates:
Weaver said her client, a "Mr. Riley," would provide the city and state where Casey was, along with the name of the subdivision and even security features of the location.
After a call from WESH 2 News, Weaver said that she was withdrawing the offer and said she will no longer represent her client.
"I am not involved in selling information about Casey Anthony," Weaver said in a subsequent email to WESH.
Later Friday afternoon, Weaver's website was no longer accessible. Earlier in the day, the site had contact and background information.
The email does not fully identify identify the client. Weaver is an Orlando-area attorney.

Psych/Lab2.1 is a set of programs for running versions of classic experiments from Human Cognitive/Experimental Psychology. The programs were created using the open source (i.e. free!) experiment-generation application PsychoPy. PsychoPy is a good alternative to programs such as e-Prime or Superlab. The source files for all of the experiments are provided. These can be easily modified to accommodate desired variations in the experiments, and they also serve as good examples for those who want to learn how to use PsychoPy to create their own experiments. Data are saved in Excel files and can be easily analyzed. (See the instructions below for creating pivot tables in Excel.)
Download PsychoPy here.
(Note that Psych/Lab has been tested with version 1.85.2 of PsychoPy. You should probably download that version. After installing PsychoPy, in the PsychoPy preferences, on the General tab, change the window type to pyglet.)
Learn how to use PsychoPy with our Simon Effect tutorial.
Data analysis in Excel
It is fairly easy to analyze data from all of the Psych/Lab programs in Excel. The most efficient way to do that is through the use of Pivot tables, which are explained here.
Double-click on the *.CSV data file created by the experiment program.
In many experiments the initial rows will contain practice trials. Delete those (but don't delete the labels in the first row).
Highlight the entire table (by clicking on the box above and to the left of cell A1).
Select the INSERT tab. Click PIVOT TABLE, then click OK.
In the pivot table field list:
1. Drag condition to the column labels box.
2. Drag keyresponse.rt to the values box.
3. Drag keyresponse.rt to the values box again.
4. In the values box, click one of the keyresponse.rt entries and change the value field setting to Average.
5. Drag the Σ Values from the Column labels box to the row labels box
6. Drag keyresponse.corr to the report filter box.
7. At the top of the pivot table, select the drop-down menu for the keyreponse.corr filter and select the value 1 (these will include only correct trials in the table).
Experiment by adding additional experiment design variables to either the column labels or row labels boxes. This will allow you to view means of your dependent variable separately for different levels of some of those factors.

Success! This was way more complicated than it should have been...downloading two different packages, unzipping them into the same directory, updating the PATH variable, creating a new TNS_ADMIN variable, creating the TNSNAMES.ORA file, and lastly creating the new System DSN and testing it successfully. I do appreciate your assistance!

Did anyone actually think that when controversy-loving Go Daddy announced it was ditching long-time spokeswoman Danica Patrick and its overtly sexy image in place of a more conservative and technologically-oriented campaign, that it would really stop showing scantily-clad women?
Although there's no Danica in sight—a different, male race car driver also successfully campaigned to steal her spot on the company's website—there is still a ton of cleavage.
The spot is called "Inside/Out" and was created by Deutsch, Go Daddy's first professional agency in years.
The ad will air during the Olympics and stars "Charlene"—the hot woman who attracts people to the domain-naming and web-hosting site; Karl—who is rotund, balding, and is control of maintaining the site; and an otter. Because why not.

The Day of Atonement
As humans we are all bound to sin and make mistakes. It is for this reason that the soul needs a means to ask for forgiveness and a space to make corrections – this is the way it is brought back in line with its higher purpose and respect for humankind.
In the Jewish tradition, Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, is a very special ritual. It celebrates a deep and meaningful connection to the Creator and it encourages the humbleness of the individual's ego to acknowledge sin and ask for forgiveness. The ritual also requires abstinence – a powerful message to the soul that despite the discomfort of deprivation – which is difficult for both body and soul – both can survive and purify themselves. Through cleansing, a purer and more sublime self emerges.
One cannot refer to this Jewish celebration without honouring the heroic Queen Esther, a smart and beautiful woman. Persian in origin, her name contains all the secrets of the future. The knowledge contained in these secrets is the tool to bridge and elevate the physical world to a new dimension – connecting the outside physical universe with the inner spiritual level.
With Creation came Light...
Words, wisdom and the power of silence
As verbal as we may be as human beings, the power of our wisdom lays in our silence not our words. The loudest message of love is the one that is not heard; receiving this gift is a blessing.
Speech is one of man's most powerful means of communication, but it will lose its effectiveness unless it is governed by silence. The word has a purpose. Its higher meaning facilitates the spreading of wisdom; on a practical level it serves the body and soul to express their needs; in return, these will be met – whether with something material for the body or understanding for the soul.
As our wise ancestors used to say, "the border of wisdom is silence". Irrespective of the words expressed, these are inherently created in the soul; voiced externally through the mouth, speech may create either good or a bad energy. When a person thinks and speaks through Light, that person is an influence of goodness that generates positivity and abundance.
For man to speak with wisdom, man must learn to listen...

Multiple Sclerosis Disability Benefits
Social Security does pay multiple sclerosis disability benefits. If MS has left a person in a wheelchair, full time, approval is just about guaranteed. However, many with MS have a relapsing and remitting form of MS that leaves them much better at some times than at others. These claimants have a tough time being approved for multiple sclerosis disability benefits.
MS patients who have weakness as a primary symptom of their disease also have trouble being approved for multiple sclerosis disability benefits. Social Security prefers to pay benefits based upon hard evidence, such as an x-ray.
Weakness and fatigue do not show up on x-rays. They cannot be measured. No one doubts that weakness and fatigue are big problems for many MS patients, but Social Security does not like to evaluate these problems which cannot be measured; so many MS patients get turned down for Social Security disability benefits.
These problems, while difficult, are not impossible. At the Charles T. Hall Law Firm, we have helped many people obtain multiple sclerosis disability benefits. We work with you and your doctor to try to convince Social Security of the severity of your symptoms.

A developer colleague passed this article and presentation to me after he saw Rachel Andrew present. Her slides are also included in this blog post.
Rachel says:
Once a site is launched it is quite likely that the person or people editing the content are not professional copywriters, just as they are not professional designers. Therefore we should be using the CMS to not only protect the design and typography – but also to promote the content strategy for the site.For me, this is right on the money. The primary purpose of a content management system should be to help us manage the content. And (in the public sector at least) more often than not, the people managing the content are non-specialists who have a range of other responsibilities that take precedence over their web management role.

Naturalization at Rutgers
On November 15th, 2011, Rutgers University's Program on Immigration and Democracy hosted an historic event: Rutgers' first-ever Naturalization Ceremony.
With US, NJ and Rutgers flags flying, 34 candidates from 17 countries and five continents took this dramatic step, formally entering US citizenship as naturalized citizens. They ranged in age from 20 to 68 and they hailed from 17 different nations including Pakistan, Poland, India, Italy, Nepal, Nigeria, Egypt and El Salvador.
Dr. Ruth Mandel, Director of Eagleton Institute of Politics, welcomed and congratulated the candidates and their families, and reflected on her own family's history as immigrants and refugees from Nazi-occupied Austria more than 60 years ago.
Dr. John Thompson, District Director of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, and a Rutgers alumnus, explained the rights and responsibilities of American citizenship, and Field Office Director Randi Borgen led the candidates in the oath of office. Dr. Anastasia Mann, Director of the Program on Immigration and Democracy shed light on advantages that immigrant New Jersey offers the state, and Isabel Nazario, Vice President of Community Partnerships talked about the significance of current demographic shifts for the nation's future.
During the ceremony, Katherine De La Merced, an RU undergraduate and a member of the Voorhees choir performed an a cappella version of the Star Spangled Banner Anthem. Graduate student Marlon Avellan led the candidates in the Pledge of Allegiance.
For information on the naturalization process, see the United States Immigration Service or CitizenshipWorks.

My dad was here after massive brain bleed and was weened off the vent and then was back after a few more unfortunate bleeds. I never met a more caring and professional staff. It very clean! The true assets to the facility are Dr. Grella and the CEO Wayne. Wayne is reachable and approachable. He is the most caring and compassionate man. He goes above and beyond to ensure the safety of the patient and to make the family feel confident, We have been to many hospitals and felt we had to stay and watch but here we were able to take a few days off and know that my dad would be safe. The second time we came back everyone welcomed us with open arms. Dr Grella has incredible bed side manner, is caring, and has so much compassion for his patients along with so much knowledge. I would recommend this place to everyone!

November 2, 2004: New York Times headline– Drought Unearths a Buried Treasure. "Escalante, Utah – In the early 1960′s, the nation's environmental movement cut its baby teeth on a fierce battle to stop construction of dams along the Colorado River. Two proposed dams were never built, but Glen Canyon dam, located in an unprotected area, was completed in 1963. Over the next 17 years, water backed up for 186 miles, forming Lake Powell and inundating Glen Canyon and hundreds of miles of side canyons.
The defeat was deeply felt. David Brower, who was executive director of the Sierra Club, called the death of Glen Canyon the greatest disappointment of his life. Edward Abbey, the mischievous author and defender of the natural world, called Glen Canyon the "living heart" of the Colorado River and Lake Powell a "blue death." He often spoke of floating a houseboat filled with explosives to the base of the dam to get rid of "Lake Foul."
What Mr. Abbey and the Sierra Club couldn't or didn't do nature has now accomplished. A severe Western drought – some say the worst in 500 years – is shrinking Lake Powell at the rate of up to a foot every four days. Since 1999, the vast reservoir has lost more than 60 percent of its water.
Glen Canyon is returning. It is open and viewable in much of its former glory. At the confluence of Coyote Creek and Escalante River, where boaters once motored by to see famous rock formations, backpackers now pick their way up a shallow river channel. Fifteen-foot high cottonwoods grow amid thickets of willow, gamble oak and tamarisk. Where fish thrived, mountain lions prowl."

MS4 Program
What is an MS4?
MS4 stands for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. An MS4 entity owns or operates a system for collecting and conveying stormwater. The purpose of the MS4 program is to maintain and benefit water quality in creeks, streams and waterways by reducing pollutants in stormwater runoff.
MS4 program is an unfunded federal mandate. It is the result of the 1987 amendments to the Clean Water Act (CWA), commonly referred to as the Water Quality Act of 1987. In these amendments, Congress mandated that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) address non-point source pollution associated with stormwater runoff.
In response to the Congressional action, EPA developed the MS4 program to permit the discharge of the stormwater from the MS4s. In essence, EPA defined urban stormwater (previously considered a non-point source) as a point source with numerous physical locations (or points) of discharge.
The MS4s are permitted under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program through either the U.S. EPA or the states; in Indiana, through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM). MS4 permits are granted in five-year cycles at the end of which the permit must be renewed. The City of Valparaiso's NPDES permit was granted in 2003, and was renewed in 2008, 2013 and 2018.

We have launched this year's rain barrel program. Click here for details.
Stormwater quality management Plan
The MS4 entities are required to develop a Stormwater Quality Management Plan (SWQMP), and to implement the following six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) to reduce polluted stormwater runoff. Click on the links to learn about these components and what we are doing.
- Public Education and Outreach
- Public Participation and Involvement
- Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE)
- Construction Site Run-Off Control
- Post Construction Stormwater Management
- Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
The City of Valparaiso's MS4 program was recognized by Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) at the 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2018 MS4 Annual Meetings for multiple categories including illicit discharge detection and elimination, post-construction stormwater runoff control, public education/participation through rain barrel decorating competition, stormwater management utilizing trees, and programs and projects that are beyond the MS4 Stormwater Quality Management Plan.

Lahore [Pakistan], August 10 (ANI): Pakistan batsman Imran Nazir, who was out of action due to Tendinitis, is all set make a return after a gap of four and half years.
Making the announcement, the 36-year-old said that he has recovered from the illness and is all set to resume cricket.
"I am fit and resuming cricket after a long time. My fans prayed for me because of which I am standing here and I am thankful for their support. I am also thankful to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Shahid Afridi foundation for helping me in getting rid of the illness," the Express Tribune quoted Nazir, as saying.
Reflecting on his future course of action, the opening batsman said that he is not sure of how long he would be able to continue playing. He, however, said that he is eager to participate in T20 leagues.
"I am just resuming cricket so I will see how long I can play," he said. "I had offers of playing in T20 leagues before as well but I couldn't participate as I was not fit, but now I am in a good shape and will be eager to play if I get a suitable offer," he said.
Nazir has appeared in a total of 79 one-day matches for Pakistan and scored 1,895 runs at an average of 24.66. In T20I, he has amassed 500 runs at an average of 21.74 in 25 games. (ANI)
