What You'll be Listening to in the 2012
Second Found of the 2012
First Found of the 2012
I received this in an e-mail. It's not a black/white thing. Occudorks are mainly white and they're not even embarrassed to be asking us to take care of them. It's a takers/givers thing.
Nothing to get angry about but it is something that has to change.
Most of us think of manhole covers as just another thing in our way when we get the urge to explore the underground, and map out new rat-hunting routes. What? You don't? Well, really, I've never explored the sewers either. But hey, there were manhole covers in the way.
The Japanese have elevated the manhole cover beyond a utilitarian continuation of the sidewalk though. Check them out. Many cool covers here.
Look at it this way; you're already doing a good bit of work forging the steel. Why not add 10% more effort and create something awesome? I'd like to see something like this here. Maybe art deco, or geometrics. We could even do "O"s for Obama. And he'd be all well shucks, what an honor, but he wouldn't know that secretly we made all the "O"s upside-down.
Oh speaking of Obama; this is a random LiveJournal image. Of all the people in this picture, which one would you say is disappointed because he's not the center of attention?:
manhole hat-tip: uniquedaily
Michelle notice-how-she's-got-the-outline-of-a-thinner-woman-on-her-dress Obama is seen here launching her Finish Your Vegetables or There Will Be No-TV campaign.
Thank goodness. When our personal flaws prevent us from doing what is right, the Obamas are there to steer us back onto the straight and narrow. We'd probably be off in some alley seasoning our food with salt and not owning a car company were it not for our glorious betters.
(just a thought: has anyone ever seen Michelle eating an apple?)
I found this video via One More Middle Aged Guy. He also had a link to an American Enterprise Inst. discussion of it.
Celebration of Western success isn't common at TED Talks. Maybe it helps that Niall Ferguson is British - his message seemed well received. Now if we could just trick Obama into watching this.
This is an image from daylife (credit: JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/Getty Images) and it looks like it's halo time again. This one is odd too -- I'm going to say the image was manipulated and I don't think you can talk me out of it. (the only way this can possibly happen with the photons I'm used to is by focusing a spotlight directly on the back of his head)
So someone thinks the halo will play again this time around. Either team Obama's lighting director or Jewel Samad. Or both.
Obama is talking up green energy out west. And he's doing it in his perky yes-we-can mode. Which gives me a chance to report on the Green I see at one of the unnamed government facilities I work at.
The little "electric vehicle" I wrote about two and a half years ago has been moved somewhere. (or sold as surplus) As far as I could tell, it wasn't used at all for two years. Annnnnnd.... Another one took it's place. This one looks more like a car, and cost $20,000.00. It's a much more serious vehicle, except that it's top speed is 25 mph. Yeah, it's just another perky golf cart.
Don't be surprised if two years from now I'm posting about how this thing has been taking up space and gathering dust. Unneeded green. Let's just hope that by then we've got a new president.
This is everywhere; now it's here too.
In other video news, I taped Princess of Mars last night. It only had one and a half Tivo stars, but hey, it was about Mars. And a princess. How bad could it be?
Well, it could be pretty bad. In fact, when that horrible Humane Society commercial came on it was kind of a relief. I'm like, "Finally, something with a plot."
Which is why I'm recommending you watch it if you ever get the chance. Then, equipped with a new definition of bad, you'll know what I mean if I say that Obama's presidency is worse than Princess of Mars. Except that, unlike the movie, a presidency can't ever get so bad it's good.
From an IMDb review, one disappointed movie goer wrote: "whoever is responsible for allowing this film should be taken by Edgar Rice Burroughs surviving family, taken outside and summarily executed..."
Got that? Not just the movie makers, but anyone who allowed this film to be made should pay the ultimate price. That's brutal, but understandable.
President Obama inspects a giant screw he commissioned
be built "for my inevitable second term." He refused to
explain its purpose, but he calls it "the taxpayer surprise".
When a commissar fell from favor, Stalin would erase him not just from life but from history.
The tactic seemed to work well for Stalin so the New York Times is imitating the old dictator. Their "I don't know what you're talking about" approach to the March for Life is in it's fifth year.
Too bad for the NYT... alternative sources of news now exist. And refusing to cover events because you disagree with their purpose doesn't make them disappear; it just makes you look petty. From last years March:
Yup. It happened. Couldn't find lumberkid in the video but she was there somewhere. (and I couldn't be more proud)
Blingin my eyes to the point of ouchie.
I'm here.
I heard a handful of occudorks tried to Mic-check a prolife meeting last night. It's good to see that they're finally distilling their message down to the essentials (bridges and abortions, apparently), but has there ever been a protest tactic as lame as the mic-check? I mean, it was lame to start with but now it just seems to be something you yell before you start semi to dis-organized chanting. You might just as well yell, "Chicken and biscuits!!"
The lumberkid is out at the March for Life again this year, despite a projected high of only 46F.
This is the 39th annual March for Life, and the lumberkid has been going since grade school. She'll join tens of thousands of others and marches will be happening all across the US. Still, the first page of Google News didn't have any March for Life mentions. Ah well.
Poor kid must be freezing in this drizzle. It's hard work being my hero.
You can catch C-Span live video here.
***oh, also:
Google may not have noticed them but the president has.
"And as we remember this historic anniversary [Roe v. Wade], we must also continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams."
I'm pretty sure he's speaking about the sons and daughters who aren't aborted. You know, the lucky ones. Because the aborted ones have fewer rights, freedoms, and opportunities. Lots fewer.
What a prez. I remind you:
Real zebras don't dance like this; mainly they line dance.
Now that he's found his element there will be no stopping him.
Here's all you need to know about the pipeline. It's been studied since 2008. The State Dept. has issued their final report. (which couldn't have been more pro-pipeline) And the president won't do it until after the election (which may be too late) in order to appease his last six environmental supporters.
Oh, also, here's a picture of Spike Lee.

Seriously, about SOPA, it's just too much power put into the hands of people I don't trust. The web would quickly become entangled and impossible to navigate. I have no idea where the above picture originated, but if the original creator wanted, he could shut me down. And I'd have to get in line to be turned back on. The way it works now: some guy emails that he doesn't want me using his image and I delete the post.
Remember "My Work Here is Done"? I created the image. I put my "LJ" in the bottom right corner and set it free. Shortly thereafter it started traveling. Now it's all over the place and in some places it's lost the "LJ".
All I ask of anyone who uses my images is that they give me credit and/or a link. But it doesn't bother me when they don't.
But here's the thing; there's nothing to stop some wild eyed utopian from saying that the image is his. Sure, I could prove it was mine if it came down to it but it would require a lot of work. And with SOPA, Blogger would have to shut me down until the dispute was resolved.
A few years back, liberal kids were going around flagging every conservative blog they came across as a spam site. Lumberjacks got caught up in it and Blogger shut me down. It took weeks to get reinstated. Blogger has cleaned up their procedure for eliminating spam sites since then, but SOPA would bring back the bad old days with a vengeance. Anyone could shut anyone down.
So, SOPA bad.
As a SOPA protest, I will now mwmwmwmwmwmwmwwmwmwmwmwmwm.
Subtle would have been to change the text to something Obama would say, like "From each/to each" or "We have nothing to fear but stupid republicans and bears." but introduce spelling or grammatical errors.
Maybe, "I am right up there with Lincon and Roosevelt"
I suppose someone with Photoshop could make the wall say anything.
But funny part: Notice how the right-hander is painting right to left and the left-hander is painting left to right? It's much easier to paint in the direction that allows you to steady your hand with a little finger or wrist that isn't resting in wet paint.
I wonder if this was a case of "OK Mr president just paint your little dab of blue and we'll finish it."
Bonus: the children didn't get the memo about the first lady's center of gravity:
Sullivan wrote it. Noel reported it. I fixed it.
The original was, "Why are Obama's Critics so Dumb?" - subtext: why, I'm pretty smart.
***note: Sullivan says he didn't write the headline. Also, he says he criticizes liberals in the article as well... Well, I wrote the above headline and I only criticize liberals concerning it.
And fixed further:
I'm hoping Andrew doesn't have a hissy-tweet over this because the article (which I can only assume Newsweek is still mulling over) criticizes many other Andrews, and even a few Clydes.
Anyway, I might not even agree with the headline. I suppose Sullivan might not agree with his headline either. He hasn't said.
AP reports on the Twinkies tragedy:
In Hostess' Chapter 11 filing on Wednesday, the company said its rivals have combined and expanded their reach, heightening competition in the snack space. Hostess' competitors range from Bimbo Bakeries, which makes Entenmann's baked goods, and McKee Foods, which make Little Debbie snack cakes. It also faces competition from larger food makers like Sara Lee and Kraft Inc.
Additionally, Hostess employees are unionized while most of its competitors aren't. As a result, Hostess has high pension and medical benefit costs. The company has 19,000 employees and operates in 48 states.
Most headlines on the bankruptcy make it sound like the Twinkies demise is a done deal. Of course, chapter 11 doesn't automatically mean a company is going out of business. Contracts can be renegotiated, costs can be cut. The union can recognize that its fate is tied to the fate of the company.
But watch: if the company is portrayed as a bunch of fat cats trying to screw the working man, union zealots will negotiate all 19,000 workers out of a job. The company will liquidate and all they'll get out of it is a sense of being wronged by the Man.
If I hear Woody Guthrie playing on the Hostess loading docks, I'm hoarding Twinkies.
Or was it slosh wauth? Stosh losh?
Whatever, the lady says they're "not going to be happy when they find out what we're doing," My question is: how can you tell?
See? When they aren't drinking heavily, cats can be as cute as dogs.

Say "thank you", I won't include a picture.
A few thoughts on the regrettable urination in Afghanistan:
If George Bush were president this would be on every front page and would dominate the news from now until the election.
Desecration is disgusting, but it is nothing when compared to the loss of life. Those guys presumably needed killing. They didn't need desecration, but they've lost every sunrise, every meal, every laugh and every pleasure that would have come to them. Desecration is insignificant compared to that.
Islamic extremists don't much care about desecration, or the Geneva convention, when the shoe is on the other foot.
While I think it's wrong, I can understand what motivated it.
I'm having trouble getting worked up over it. Send out a "don't do that" memo and move on.
A tax you pay at the pump:
WASHINGTON — When the companies that supply motor fuel close the books on 2011, they will pay about $6.8 million in penalties to the Treasury because they failed to mix a special type of biofuel into their gasoline and diesel as required by law.
But there was none to be had. Outside a handful of laboratories and workshops, the ingredient, cellulosic biofuel, does not exist.
In 2012, the oil companies expect to pay even higher penalties for failing to blend in the fuel, which is made from wood chips or the inedible parts of plants like corncobs. Refiners were required to blend 6.6 million gallons into gasoline and diesel in 2011 and face a quota of 8.65 million gallons this year.
"It belies logic," Charles T. Drevna, the president of the National Petrochemicals and Refiners Association, said of the 2011 quota. And raising the quota for 2012 when there is no production makes even less sense, he said.
Penalizing the fuel suppliers demonstrates what happens when the federal government really, really wants something that technology is not ready to provide.
This is like the incandescent light bulb insanity. Your betters decide your lights use too much electricity so they make them illegal. Never mind that there is no acceptable substitute. First they come for the 100 watts, and you don't speak out because you don't use 100 watts. Then they come for the 75's.... And if they had gotten their way, we'd all be awash in mercury from broken soft-serve ice cream bulbs. The fact that every single voter hates those bulbs is the only thing that (hopefully) saved us.
The government wants ethanol, so they crowbar corn into our gas tanks and off of our tables. Meaning we have to pay more for corn and meat. So the government mandates ethanol made from waste cellulose, which doesn't exist. And raises our gas prices because it doesn't.
And this is the balance they've struck. We pay more for gas. We pay more for food. The government gets income in the form of fines which the EPA can use in its quest to fix our lives even further.
I know, by the way, that $6.8 million is a drop in the bucket (har) to the big thinkers in Washington. Look at Solyandra, it's costing us a hundred times that. Look at all the EPA does in its relentless drive to make us sparkle and smell like butterflies. Even if you take out Obama's fraud and kickbacks, they shovel our money into open sewers on an industrial scale.
Here's the thing. The economy isn't great. We shouldn't be "investing" in things we don't want. Not in gasoline made from unobtanium, not in unwanted high speed rail, not in light bulbs that don't light, not in more government agencies to regulate us down to our underpants. We won't improve doctors by making them government employees, or schools by adding second breakfasts.
Couldn't we try not being stupid?
In fact, I think we'd be miles ahead if we could just shut down this government for a while. Give the Chicago swindler a pat on the back and say, "You know, I think you've fixed everything. Why don't you just sit out this last year and try to fathom your own goodness."
Sad news. The LSU football team is still stuck in New Orleans.

Guy on the Job Asked Me to Name One Thing That's Gotten Better Under Obama
Post say:
TOKYO — Kim Jong Eun, according to propaganda described in a recent Chinese magazine article, learned to drive at age 3. By 8, he could safely maneuver dirt roads at 75 mph. As a teenager, he mastered four foreign languages. He is now learning three more.
How many years before some North Korean wonders out loud how it is that a 3 year-old could reach the pedals and see over the dash. Second question: where will he be buried?
They think we don't notice, but we do. They admire us
because we know how to fix light switches and unclog sinks.
Fast? for Justice? and this is day 7? Sounds pretty slow to me.
Just a chance to point out that Obama should have said: "I promise to shut down Guantanamo or at least learn why we must keep it open. And I promise to get right out of Iraq, or at least educate myself as to why it's important to keep to Bush's original status of forces agreement."
Saw this on Drudge - the story about how the D's are paying this fired factory worker, Randy Johnson, to dog Mitt Romney:
The 57-year-old described how he worked at a factory making office supplies owned by Smith Corona, which facing bankruptcy, sold his plant to another company, Ampad, that has recently been acquired by Bain Capital. Ampad promptly fired all of the workers at the plant, and then re-hired most of them. Since they were a union shop, and over half of the employees had been re-hired, the new owners were forced to recognize the union. They tried to renegotiate the contract, but the union eventually decided to go on strike, so Ampad shuttered the once-profitable factory.
I think it's cool that the D's are picking up his bills, but I think Mitt needs to ask him up on stage next time out. (not to make light of his situation, but to teach him, and the D's supporting him, the basics of capitalism)
The article states that Smith Corona was facing bankruptcy when it sold his factory. In other words, he was already out of a job. He was in the buggy whip industry: a company making typewriters in a computer/word-processing world. Ampad then apparently tried to make it work. Maybe it could have worked with the plant transitioning to products that were more in demand. Maybe it could have worked with the union making concessions. Fact is, it didn't; it went on strike. So Mr Johnson remained out of a job.
The company isn't named but I'll bet it wasn't profitable when it was sold to Ampad. The article calls it a "once-profitable factory" but that's not the point. In the real world, what matters is the probability of it being profitable in the future.
I think it's a darned shame when it doesn't work, but Randy Johnson needed both Ampad and his union's cooperation in order to revive his job. Not knowing the facts it's impossible to say who was more to blame, but automatically blaming Ampad is stupid.
Romney didn't axe Randy Johnson's job. Ampad didn't destroy his livelihood. The laser printer did. It's unfortunate but there it is.
In a free market, the typewriter makers and buggy whip shops give way to printer makers and auto workers. The answer isn't to prop up the obsolete technology. Randy Johnson needs to move on, even if it's not easy. Lamenting the past doesn't build a thing.
This seems like one I may have already posted. If so; well, here it is again.
Into each life some cute must fall
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Well color me tickled. I see that Vermin Supreme showed up for the New Hampshire dog and pony show. Vermin, or Virm as I imagine his friends might call him, is the only openly fascist candidate for president. He seems to be for mandatory tooth-brushing, and old fashioned imperialism. So what's not to like?
But, more importantly, he's the only presidential candidate to ever comment at Are We Lumberjacks. And I'm prepared to overlook a little fascism if there's even an outside possibility of a cabinet appointment.
Say what you will, fascism bad, yadda, yadda, but it's hard to think poorly of a man who looks this good in a boot. If Old Spice had a lick of sense, those "your man" commercials would have exploited our natural inclination to trust anyone with a boot on their head.
Welcome back to the national stage Mr Vermin Supreme. You probably smell marvelous.
No, really, you probably do.

Jen and Jacob Tal have years of experience managing a 10-room B&B, providing fine dining to out of town guests and locals, accommodating events of all sizes, and providing guests with transportation. As members of the Interim Innkeepers Network, the two genuinely appreciate traveling, finding new perspectives, and connecting with new people around the world. They're happy to lend innkeepers a hand for a busy weekend or hold down the fort for a predetermined duration.
For availability and rates contact Jacob by email or at 571-344-1717.
Fantastic stay, great room, excellent food, courteous staff (special thanks to the Tals for their hospitality!)…I would (and already have) certainly recommend The Mark Addy to any of my friends for a beautiful getaway!
We have stayed here twice and both times we were pleased beyond words. The service was stellar and breakfast was beyond par. The rooms are cozy, and clean. There are so many things to do that are near by: food, drink, hiking. We really love the fun activities The Addy has available, the Wine Tour Scavenger Hunt with driver is one of our favorite memories. We will definitely be back.
We had a wonderful experience.We really enjoyed spending time with them. Jenifer was enthusiastic and personable throughout the weekend. The food was fantastic and the service was great!
Our breakfast prepared by Jacob was delicious! So much more than we expected!
My husband and I stayed at the Mark Addy Inn this past weekend. The owners were on vacation so their son, Jacob, was in charge. Jacob was very friendly and accommodating and did a nice job serving breakfast (eggs benedict, croissant, muffin, fruit cocktail — very good). The inn was very charming and our suite, Elena, was very spacious and nicely furnished with period antiques (see photos). The king bed was comfortable and both of us slept very well. The room had a window AC unit which worked just fine. The bathroom, although quite small, was clean and nice. The inn has a 2-night minimum on the weekends but, since they were not fully booked, they waived that requirement since we could only stay one night.
Great stay! Our first greeter was Jennifer! Bubbly, enthusiastic, helpful and willing to serve in any way needed! She was a great one person greeting party!
My wife & I recently enjoyed a weekday get away at the Mark Addy. We had a fabulous time. Our room was comfortable and cozy. We scheduled a "Pub Crawl" for our first night. The Mark Addy provided coupons / vouchers for 2 of the breweries we visited. It was also nice to see that 15% of our Pub Crawl tour went to support local youth programs. Every morning before breakfast we drank our coffee on the porch gazing out on the beautiful mountain scenery. The only meals we had at the Mark Addy were breakfast. Both days it was scrumptious. The location of the Inn in on Nelson 151 surrounded by several wineries, breweries, and a cider press; this made our day trips easy to plan.
We went there midweek and stayed in the tiger lily room on a living social voucher. On the first day, we lucked out and were the only guests and were served a very generous gourmet breakfast by Jacob, the innkeeper's son because his parents were away. Jacob seems to be a very cool hardworking young man if he is of any reflection of his parents…. The breakfast dining room is the best part of the inn in my opinion and has a very country provincial feel with a beautiful green stain class window.


Soon after publishing the review of the new version of the folding Vittoria Mezcal (read review), I received a message from Vittoria telling me the non-TNT (TNT = reinforced sidewalls) version of the new Mezcal does not use the new 4C G+ compound. This means I mistakenly called this new Mezcal the Mezcal G+ and assumed I was testing their new G+ compound. I've made this mistake because the Vittoria website (at this moment) does not explicitly state only the TNT version of the Mezcal uses this new compound and assumed both the non-reinforced and reinforced products were top of the range products.
Here is the exact message I received from Vittoria: Hi guys, #### from the Mktg Dept of Vittoria. I was checking your test about the Mezcal. I would like to highlight that 4C and G+ compound are technologies used only on top of the range products, so for us in Vittoria in the TNT (tube no-tube) options. You tested the foldable version (the lightest version without sidewall protection and no stronger tubeless casing) where G+ and 4C are not featured.
After receiving this message, I immediately ordered the TNT version of the Mezcal. After I received the Mezcal TNT G+, it's obvious that this tire does use the new 4C G+ compound as it's clearly marked on the sidewalls. The tread pattern appears to be exactly the same as the regular folding version. Before you read on, I can tell you the new 4C G+ compound is the real deal! The Mezcal TNT G+ comes very close to the top performing tires. Definitely get the TNT version instead of the regular folding version as they both cost the same.
The specified weight of the Mezcal TNT 29x2.25 is 690 grams; my sample is a bit heavier at 712 grams. I've measured the regular folding version at 681 grams; it looks like both tires are quite close in the weight department. The measured width on a 17C rim, at an air pressure of 35 psi / 2.4 bars is 55 mm which is the same as most other 2.20 / 2.25 rated tires.
Surprisingly, while the knob pattern is the same, the TNT version of the new Mezcal has slightly smaller knobs. The center knobs have a height of 2.6 mm while the regular folding version came in at 2.9 mm. The edge knobs have a height of 3.8 mm Vs 4.3 mm for the regular folding version. The Mezcal TNT is a bit thinner at the center of the tread; Total Tire Thickness Tread has gone down to 1.9 mm from 2.4 mm. As expected, the thickness of the sidewalls has gone up a bit as this is a reinforced tire.
In the rolling resistance test, the Mezcal TNT G+ greatly outperforms the lighter regular folding version! At the most important low air pressure of 25 psi / 1.7 bars, rolling resistance comes in at a low 24.6 watts as compared to the 30.9 watts of the lighter regular folding version of the Mezcal (read review). At higher air pressures, rolling resistance is much lower as well. I don't think most people expect the non-reinforced version of a tire to be faster than the reinforced version.
Rolling resistance of the new Mezcal TNT G+ is very low; it's so low that Vittoria is now competing with Schwalbe and Continental in the MTB section. The Mezcal G+ comes very, very close to the Schwalbe Racing Ralph SnakeSkin (read review) that is a top performing tire with reinforced sidewalls and similar knob height. At the low air pressure of 25 psi / 1.7 bars, rolling resistance of the Mezcal comes in at 24.6 watts which is just 0.6 watt more than the Racing Ralph SnakeSkin.
Puncture resistance of the tread of the Mezcal TNT G+ is great for a tire this fast. With a score of 9 points, it scores 2 points higher than the Schwalbe Racing Ralph SnakeSkin. The sidewalls are a bit weaker and come in at 5 points Vs the 6 points the Racing Ralph scored.
It's great to see Vittoria finally released some mountain bike tires with their top performing compound. The Mezcal TNT G+ comes within 0.5 watts of the "gold standard" Schwalbe Racing Ralph SnakeSkin (read review) while providing similar puncture resistance. I do find it a very strange choice to only use this new compound on the TNT (reinforced) versions of the new tires and not the lighter folding version as well. In my opinion, the regular folding versions are only mid-range tires while both pretty much cost the same.
The mountain bike section has been dominated by Schwalbe and Continental over the past two years. Vittoria has now closed the gap to the competition thanks to a much more advanced compound. Competition among the tire manufacturers is a good thing, let's hope rolling resistance can come down some more in the next few years.


2018, January 1 (GongLi 公曆, Thursday) Gregorian calendar: 11-15 Shevat (שבט).
16 February (GongLi 公曆, Friday): 1-1 Nisan (ניסן, YinLi: 陰曆) is the prepared straight (正: Zheng) 1st day ZhengYi (正一) of the 1st lunar month ZhengYue (正月) 1-1 of the Chinese lunar year YinLi (陰曆).
CE 2018 is a Wu (戊) year of the Chinese celestial 5th stem of the "spear-line" and the 5 of Hearts in the minor arcana (מנער אר-כנע) Tarot (טרות) sequence of 40 minors.
CE 2018 is also a Xu (戌) year of the Chinese earthly branch of the dog or canine, the Jack of Coins in the face or court cards of the minor arcana (מנער אר-כנע) Tarot (טרות), both with possible purports including: the "spear-line of the canine" as when a hunting dog takes the pointing position called "bird-dogging."
CE 2018 is the JiaZi (甲子) sequence 78:35, the Chinese year 4715, the GanZhi (干支) stem-branch of 05,11.

Peace gaming is a neologism coined by Utsumi Takeshi to describe non-military global simulations, or simulations that involve both military and civilian variables.

Peace gaming is based on the idea that global simulations which are modeled entirely on military actions (war gaming) can never be more than zero-sum games. In other words, in order for one side to achieve its objective, all others must lose. Proponents of peace gaming simulations argue that when "civilian" factors which exist in the real world, such as the economy, manufacturing, and trade are brought into play, the simulation becomes not only more realistic but also ceases to be a zero-sum game. Through collaborative action on the part of the competitors as opposed to purely confrontational, all sides can gain benefit and thus all can theoretically claim victory.

Vince Gill & Amy Grant book 12 Christmas shows at Ryman Auditorium in 2018
By Timothy Yap Feb 12, 2018 02:03 AM EST
Vince Gill and Amy Grant are set to return to Nashville's famed Ryman Auditorium in 2018 for their annual Christmas shows. This year, the couple will be breaking their previous record of playing 10 nights and extending their holiday residency to 12 concert dates. .
In 2018, they plan to play 12 nights at the Mother Church: Nov. 28-29, Dec. 5-6. Dec. 12-13, Dec. 16-20 and Dec. 3. All shows are scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets ($35-$135) go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. via ryman.com.
"I've always loved Christmas music, and I've toured the country singing it for years," Grant said in a statement. "But, there's nothing sweeter than coming home to the Ryman Auditorium each holiday season to join Vince on this legendary stage, making even more music and memories with old friends and new."
The holiday concerts are "such a celebration of the things that have remained unchanged," she told The Tennessean last November. "Every other aspect of life has changed, but the gift of returning to these songs, returning to each other...that's really where my joy in continuing to do this is."

Marion Rose Scrymgour (born 13 September 1960) is an Australian politician and the current MP for Lingiari. She was a member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly from 2001 to 2012, representing the electorate of Arafura. She was the Labor Party Deputy Chief Minister of the Northern Territory from November 2007 until February 2009, and was the highest-ranked Indigenous Australian woman in government in Australia's history. She was also the first Indigenous woman to be elected to the Northern Territory Parliament.

Scrymgour, a senior minister under former Chief Minister Clare Martin, had a rapid rise within the party throughout the 2000s, and despite a reputation for outspoken views on Indigenous issues, rose to become Deputy Chief Minister under Paul Henderson after the retirement of long-time deputy Syd Stirling in 2007. She had a controversial term as Education Minister under Henderson, and was shifted to the Attorney-General portfolio in February 2009, in a move widely seen as a demotion. Several days later, she resigned from Cabinet and as Deputy Chief Minister, citing "health reasons". Scrymgour remained on the Labor backbench until June 2009, when she resigned from the Labor Party over its stance on remote Indigenous communities. She sat in the Legislative Assembly as an independent, and held the balance of power; Labor had held only a one-seat majority before her departure. On 4 August 2009, Scrymgour rejoined the ALP.

Early life

Scrymgour was born on 13 September 1960 in Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory. She is the daughter of Claire () and Jack Scrymgour. Her mother was a Tiwi Islander, and her father had been forcibly removed as a child from his home in Central Australia. Scrymgour attended primary and secondary school in Darwin, but initially decided against tertiary education, working in several office administration positions. She later undertook correspondence courses as a mature age student in book-keeping, accounting, administration and health economics. She subsequently served as director of the Wurli Wurlinjang Aboriginal Corporation, co-ordinated several trial community care programs around Katherine, and as Director of the Katherine West Health Board Aboriginal Corporation. Scrymgour was also an active member of the Liquor, Hospitality and Miscellaneous Union, and had represented the union at the national conference of the Australian Labor Party.

Territory political career

Early career

|}

Scrymgour contested and won Labor preselection for the Legislative Assembly seat of Arafura, after the retirement of Maurice Rioli. The seat was considered safe for Labor, and she was re-elected with a lesser majority, due to the presence of two high-profile independent candidates on the ballot. In winning the seat, she became the first Indigenous women to be elected to the Legislative Assembly.

Scrymgour was promoted to the ministry under Clare Martin on 17 December 2003, as part of a reshuffle caused by the sacking of Health Minister Jane Aagaard. She was assigned the portfolios of Family and Community Services and Environment and Heritage, and in doing so, became Australia's first Aboriginal woman cabinet minister.

As Minister for Family and Community Services, Scrymgour was tasked with responding to the issues of substance abuse and domestic violence. She chaired a select committee into substance abuse, and was the relevant minister during the roll-out of non-sniffable Opal fuel across remote Indigenous communities. She was shifted to a new portfolio after the 2005 election, being appointed Minister for Natural Resources, Environment and the Arts. After a further reshuffle in August 2007, she retained Arts and Museums, regained Family and Community Services and was made Minister for Child Protection. She also oversaw planned changes to the territory's heritage laws, which created a heritage council to protect important sites, as already exists in several states.

Scrymgour developed a reputation for outspoken views on Indigenous issues during her second term. She clashed with her own party on the issue of the MacArthur River Mine in 2006, and joined three other Indigenous MPs in crossing the floor to oppose the mine's expansion. She made national news in late 2007 when she publicly condemned the federal government's intervention into Indigenous communities, the Northern Territory National Emergency Response, labelling it "a vicious new McCarthyism."

Deputy Chief Minister to Independent

Chief Minister Clare Martin resigned in November 2007 after having lost the support of her caucus, and was replaced by Paul Henderson. The newly elected Henderson appointed Scrymgour as his deputy, which was considered a surprise choice at the time. On 24 December 2007 Scrymgour spent several hours at the emergency department of Royal Darwin Hospital undergoing treatment for "an emotional and physical collapse". In January 2008 Scrymgour was appointed Acting Chief Minister of the Northern Territory while the incumbent Paul Henderson was on holiday, becoming the first Aboriginal government leader in Australian history. She served for two weeks.

Scrymgour had taken on the education portfolio upon her ascension to Deputy Chief Minister, but had been regularly criticised in the press for her performance, particularly after her controversial sacking of the head of the territory's Education Department in 2008. This culminated in Henderson's decision in February 2009 to remove Scrymgour from the portfolio, shifting her to the less politically difficult Attorney-General role. The following week, Scrymgour resigned from Cabinet and as Deputy Chief Minister, citing recurring problems with depression caused by the death of her father.

On 1 June 2009, Scrymgour publicly opposed the Government on its announced policy of concentrating indigenous development in 20 larger communities and discouraging "homeland" or "outstation" settlement, which she labelled as insulting. She said that she realised while recovering from surgery that she had lost touch with her constituents, and that "I feel strongly because we have lied to Aboriginal people". On 4 June, after a significant degree of speculation in the media, she resigned from the Labor Party, reducing it to minority government.

On 4 August 2009, after the defection of another minister, Alison Anderson, Scrymgour announced that she would rejoin the Labor Party. She retired from politics at the 2012 election.

Post-politics
After working for the Australian Red Cross in 2013–2014, Scrymgour returned to Wurli Wurlinjang Aboriginal Corporation as its CEO. In December 2013 she was elected as Chairperson of the Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance Northern Territory. In November 2013, Scrymgour was awarded an honorary doctorate in Health Sciences by the University of Sydney, the first Aboriginal recipient of such an honour from the Faculty of Health Sciences.

In March 2019, Scrymgour was appointed CEO of the Northern Land Council and became the first woman CEO of any land council in the Northern Territory.

Federal politics
In March 2021, Scrymgour was preselected as the Labor candidate for the federal seat of Lingiari in the 2022 federal election after Labor incumbent Warren Snowdon announced he would not stand for re-election. She won the seat by a narrow margin from Country Liberal candidate Damien Ryan.

Q: Html file with script tag only I am developing a website crawler using golang. When i tried to crawl some websites, I am getting weird results. Root Url of some website returns script tag as shown below.
<script>window.location="index.php";</script>

And it redirects to index.php page. Why people are using this approach to redirect user to index page. Any security vulnerability with this approach? And also, how can i handle this situation in crawler?

A: Well, if you really want to hide the page by redirecting the user to another page, then you obviously cannot use this method, because anyone can turn javascript off and see the page, thus this can be a security risk. However, if you just simply want to redirect for some reason, this is fine.
As for you crawler, what you can do is search the source code with regex for redirections like that, but it can be very challenging to cover all cases.

A: Apache httpd and mod_jk don't make the trouble I'm afraid.
Hard to say without seeing your config, but I bet that your Spring security config has configured a login page that is secured, so it's allways redirecting to a page you cannot reach.
Could you post your web.xml and security config? And maybe the mod_jk mappings to Tomcat would be helpfull too.
EDIT:
I think that setting sticky_session to true could solve the problem. Try adding this to your mod_jk config:
worker.loadbalancer.sticky_session=1

EDIT2: Setting jvmRoute property to values configured in worker.loadbalancer.members solved the problem.
What was happening is that mod_jk uses the value which comes as a suffix in the session cookie to check it against the loadbalancer member names to find out on which has the client the session opened. As the jvmRoute had no value, the JSESSIONID had no suffix so the mod_jk did not know which worker to send the request, so the balancer chooses one worker according to the lbfactor.
As this value is configured with same value to both workers, each incoming request was redirected to the worker that was not chosen in the previous request, so there was no chance to reach the login form neither perform the login (or whatever login mechanism is being used).

It doesn't - UNIQUE content makes the world go round.

FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AKURE-FUTA
FUTA Steps Up Improvement Of Laboratories And Classrooms
In order to make teaching and learning easier for staff, students and all stakeholders, the Federal University of Technology, Akure through its Implementation Monitoring Committee on Improvement of Laboratories and Classrooms (IMCLC) recently organized a one day Seminar for all stakeholders accessing Direct Teaching and Laboratory Cost (DTLC) in the University. Welcoming participants to the Seminar, Chairman, IMCLC, Professor Benjamin Adewuyi said the raison d'etre of the Seminar was to review the performance of departments vis-a-vis accessing the fund available to improve laboratories and classrooms in order to continue to engender a conducive learning environment to achieve effective teaching and learning in the University. According to him, the committee has observed that many departments are not accessing the available fund. He urged them to tap into the available funds for the betterment of the University.
In his remarks at the occasion, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adebiyi Daramola said the University's Laboratories and Classrooms "are far from where we want them to be in terms of the quantity and quality of content." Daramola who was represented by the Deputy Vice Chancellor , Academic , Professor Adedayo Fasakin ,said "Even though we stand tall among the best in Nigeria, our laboratories, libraries and classrooms are yet to be internationally competitive". Blaming the developments on underfunding of the University, he called on the departments to utilize adequately the opportunity DTLC provides towards adding value to the University's operations.
Daramola further said since life is not static; there was the need for periodic review and update of knowledge. This is achievable through adequate utilization of special intervention funds DTLC can offer.
Speaking further, an optimistic Daramola said "A forum like this will provide an avenue for all stakeholders; Deans, Heads of Departments and the IMCLC to review the processes and procedures, as well as identify any areas in the accessibly and utilization of the fund with a view to ensuring general improvement". He also called for transparency and purposefulness in the utilization of the fund to achieve a smooth running of the University and make it globally relevant and competitive.
The seminar was attended by Principal Officers, Deans, Heads of Department, Directors and Heads of Units.

With so much content to consume and such little time to consume it, writing an effective headline is essential if you want to cut through the noise and grab people's attention.
A recent study shows that 55% of consumers read an article for 15 seconds or less. What's more, eight out of 10 people read an article's headline only.
It's clear that there's science to crafting an article that grabs and holds attention, and as mentioned, it all starts with the headline. Think of the headline as the foundation of your content; only it sits at the top.
If you're looking to improve your headline writing and add to your digital marketing skill set, these practical tips will have you grabbing attention and attracting visitors in a flash.
It's difficult to cover all four bases in a single headline, but if you can include at least two elements, you'll be onto a winner.
When crafting the perfect headline, you should always begin with a working title. Not only will this form the basis of your article, but it will give you something tangible to from which to work.
Topics are general and could form the foundations of several different blog posts. For example, 'American politics' or 'Donald Trump are topics - jumping off points that you can take in several different directions.
Once you've picked your topic and honed in on your subject matter a little more, write down a number of working titles before whittling it down to two or three potential headlines that you can work from.
Once you've decided on a definitive working title or two and the foundations of your blog post or landing page are starting to take shape, it's time to refine your headline.
Always aim to be accurate and as concise as you possibly can. Accuracy is vital when trying to refine a headline because it sets clear expectations for your readers.
For instance, '15 Brands That Are So Hot on Email Marketing They've Ditched All Other Marketing Channels' may encourage a lot of clicks, but unless you've found some businesses that are setting the world alight through email only, it may be a little OTT. Also, a title like this is also quite long.
Perhaps this would be better: '15 Amazing Email Marketing Campaigns You Need to See.' Accurate and concise.
With headline writing, the most important rule is to respect the reader's experience - so always have that in mind when refining your titles.
If your headline sets expectations that you can't deliver, you run the risk of losing the trust of your readers, which can be damaging to your brand and its authority.
Tip: When it comes to telling your audience exactly what your article will deliver, bracketed headlines prove particularly effective.
In a study of more than 3.3 million paid link headlines, HubSpot discovered that headlines with bracketed clarification such as [Interview], [Podcast], [Infographic] and [VIDEO] performed 38% better than headlines without.
Try listicles: Using numbers in your headline not only promises something specific, but it also helps to give it a certain structure - because our brains like to organise information into a logical order. Listicles stand out, they're popular t0o. There's no exact science to explain why, but the number 7 often proves effective when used at the beginning of a listicle headline.
To date, this upcycling post from relatively small publication Preparedness Mama gained 552 shares via various popular social media channels and counting. Impressive metrics for such a niche subject.
Use a little alliteration: People like alliteration as it's catchy and rolls off the tongue. The tasteful use of alliteration can have a subtle yet powerful impact. Take the title of this article: 'ways to write' reads well, no?
Focus on the 'whos', rather than the 'whys': There's nothing wrong with including the terms 'why' in your headline, but if you can, run with a 'who' instead. According to research, headlines that include the word "who" generate a 22% higher CTR than those without.
Optimise your headlines for search engines: Besides grabbing your customer's attention and encouraging them to take action, one of the other vital duties of your headline is to help boost your search rankings and get that all-important first page spot on Google (page one results get around 92% of web traffic for a particular keyword or term).
Think about character counts: When it comes to writing a title tag that fits neatly onto a Google SERPS page and performs better regarding SEO, you should aim for between 50 and 60 characters in length.
Usually, your title tag will be similar to your headline as it dictates and describes the theme of your article or web page. So, it's best practice to aim for a character count that's not too dissimilar when writing your headline.
According to recent analytical research, headlines of eight to 12 words in length get the most Twitter shares on average, while headlines with either 12 or 14 words get the most Facebook Likes. Try not to waffle and aim for around the 12 to 14-word mark, unless necessary.
Writing the perfect headline takes time, persistence and trial and error, but by following the above advice, the rewards, in terms of readership and conversions, will be great.

This weekend, a Hull School of Art and Design student had her textile designs brought to life alongside those of celebrated Hull-textile designer Shirley Craven as the city was illuminated in Urban Legends: Northern Lights.
Over four nights, 60,000 people took to Hull City Centre, including Parliament Street as the city's streets came alive with captivating projections and sounds.
Alongside acclaimed national and international artists, second-year student Toni Lee (20) had her designs illuminated in Avenue, by Newcastle-based NOVAK.
Exploring the iconic textile designs of the 20th century from Hull and Västra Götaland in Sweden and inspired by the stories and references woven into and printed onto the designs, this new installation brought Toni's designs to life alongside iconic designs by Shirley Craven and the Hull Traders, interwoven with patterns influenced by the work of Sven Fristedt and Borås Cotton, created by textile desiger Hazel Dunn and NOVAK.
Acompanying the projected designs was a multi-channel sound piece by celbrated artist and musician Ed Carter, which created a sweeping, synchronised sonic tapestry extending the full length of Parliament Street.
Inspired by the textile heritage which links Hull and Västra Götaland in the west of Sweden, Avenue celebrated the iconic textile designs of the 20th century to the present day, all interwoven with historical and mythological stories which span the North Sea and connect these two locations.

Trump Administration Rule Will Harm Immigrant Families and Ill-Serve America
Home / STATEMENTS / Trump Administration...
CBPP Statement: August 12, 2019 - For Immediate Release
President Trump's Department of Homeland Security today released a rule that makes extensive and deeply troubling changes in our nation's immigration policies. The rule will deny a broad set of individuals who are lawfully present in the United States and trying to build a life for themselves and their families the ability to become permanent residents. It will deny many others the ability to enter our country legally if they're not wealthy. The rule reflects a dark vision of the United States — as an unwelcoming nation that wants to keep out people who seek to join their family, work hard, and climb the economic ladder — based on the erroneous assumption that they won't contribute to our communities, our economy, and our nation.
The rule reflects a dark vision of the United States.
The rule, which directs immigration officials to reject applications from individuals who seek to remain in or enter the country if they have received — or are judged more likely than not to receive in the future — any of an extensive array of public benefits that are tied to need, will make it much more difficult for many immigrants in the United States lawfully to remain here and for many seeking legal entry to come.
The rule will have numerous adverse effects. It will sow more fear in immigrant communities and almost certainly lead many immigrants who are in the United States legally as well as their family members to forgo health coverage, nutrition assistance, and housing assistance that they need and are eligible for under federal law. This fear will be even more severe if the Trump Administration adopts another rule it has under consideration, one that reportedly would use receipt of benefits under the expanded public charge definition as a basis to deport some groups of immigrants.
The rule issued today will harm children and likely keep — or newly split — apart many families. U.S.-based family members of individuals who have been denied entry into — or permission to stay in — the country under the rule would have to choose either to have their families live apart or for the entire family (which could include U.S. citizens) to leave the United States so they can live together. The rule also will hurt many workers here today who perform important but low-paid jobs, often under difficult conditions. And it will diminish many children's long-term prospects because they won't receive benefits important to their growth and development, which will weaken the future U.S. workforce.
The Administration finalized the rule despite a show of overwhelming opposition among the more than 260,000 comments submitted on it. A broad range of respected individuals and organizations expressed strong opposition to the rule, including faith leaders, such as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops; hospitals and health providers, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics; business groups, such as local Chambers of Commerce; educators and educational institutions; and a bipartisan collection of federal, state, and local officials.
The rule essentially puts a price tag on obtaining lawful permanent residency in the United States, shifting it away from family-based immigration toward one restricted to people who are already relatively well-off or highly skilled when they enter the country. In doing so, it ignores our nation's centuries-long experience — one still true today — of immigrants coming to our shores, building a better life for themselves and future generations, and contributing to our economy. This rule, along with other harsh Administration executive orders and actions, is part of an effort to advance a nativist agenda that is antithetical to our nation's professed values. It should be reversed as swiftly as possible.
