PowerPrint Mobile Edition
By Mel Beckman
Printing from USB PowerBooks and iBooks is the bane of traveling Mac users. On the road, your chances of finding a USB-compatible printer for which you already have the drivers installed is next to zero. Strydent Software comes to the rescue with the mobile edition of its PowerPrint USB-to-parallel adapter, which includes ready-to-use drivers for nearly any parallel-port printer. Just load the software from the CD-ROM, connect the USB-to-parallel-port cable to the printer, and you're ready to print. The package includes a Delorme Street Atlas USA CD-ROM; a 6-foot, self-retracting phone cord; and an Ethernet crossover cable -- none of which has anything to do with printing, but hey, they're free!

Q: Where to keep config data other than config file (Windows App)? My Windows application GUI is accepting some required application configuration fields from the user. I need to store them of course, but I wanna hide these fields from the user.

*

*I cannot use database to store these configs.

*I want to avoid using app.config either. (No app.config encryption)

Any suggestions, Where and in which format i should store fields. (Field example is: Accepting database User credentials, Task Schedule info etc.)

A: These are possible: (but crazy and bad ideas):
1. Registry
2. Create your own custom settings file
3. Encrypt them
4. Write a web service api and store them on a web server

A: I would use an XML file (encrypt if you feel its necessary) and use
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)
to store it in the %AppData% section of the user's file system.
Additionally, you may write a Settings class which you serialize to disk and deserialize to memory -- this could save you some persistance logic with the XML namespace.

A: You can always write your own XML file and use the .NET cryptography classes to encrypt the data.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229749.aspx

A: Encrypt the details to an XML file?
Use rijndael encryption that you can decrypt when you need it.

A: It's called The Windows Registry. I hate to recommend the use of it, but I think that it fits your requirement and its use quite ubiquitous.

Home Commentary We're there with you!
We're there with you!
Terry Howard
In developing this narrative, some may call me a shameless "cherry picker" or something else not so nice. But a "writer opportunist" is the moniker I'll plead guilty to.
You see I recently came across a gut wrenching "Open Letter to LGBTQ Kids" by Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Leonard Pitts. It addresses the so-called – now brace yourself – "Don't Say Gay" bill moving through the legislature in Florida.
Huh, "don't say gay" – are you kidding me? I mean is this "Don't ask, don't tell" 2.0, the U. S. policy on military service by gay people instituted during the Clinton administration?
Now to cheery pick the words of Mr. Pitts, "As you've likely heard, the governor has thrown his weight behind the so-called "Don't Say Gay" bill now advancing through the state Legislature. It says a teacher may not "encourage" discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students.
President Biden blasted what he called a "hateful" bill. "I have your back," he said. This note is just to say that I do, too. I can only imagine how isolating and lonely it must feel, in the awkwardness of your adolescent years, to have a governor declare your sexual identity so abnormal it can't be discussed in school — just when you may need to talk about it the most."
Okay, stop right there.
I hope that what you just read rattles your sense of fairness. It did mine, so much so that to make a larger point, I direct your attention to other examples of isolation and loneliness.
First, and although they occurred during earlier times, the Pitts column conjured up recollections of the isolation and loneliness experienced by folks who risked their lives in the struggle for civil rights in the 50's and 60's. They were the brave ones who participated in marches, sit-ins and often being spat on, called hateful names, and pummeled with Billy clubs. Imagine the isolation and loneliness felt by hunched down Freedom Riders while their Greyhound buses were being set afire by mobs outside Birmingham.
Fast forward. Not long after the terrorist attacks remembered as "9/11," I joined a "march against hate" in downtown Dallas, Texas organized by the Muslim community. Now since my skin color was as dark as many of my fellow marchers that day, I managed to blend in without fanfare.
Thinking back, I will never forget that march, particularly the beefy, heavily armed policemen who kept a wary eye on us from the sidewalks. Nor will I forget the uneasiness on the part of we marchers who endured hateful gestures and nasty epithets from drivers by.
Later that week I visited a local mosque and was shocked by the busted doors, broken windows and hateful words spattered in spray paint on the building. Think about isolation and loneliness while down on your knees in prayer, wary about the potential of a brick or Molotov cocktail crashing through a bay window.
Back to Pitts.
"I'm sorry the world is like this, but it is. So I need you to take care of one another. Maintain the courage to be your authentic, individual selves. Find the community that values and validates those selves, that accepts you as you are. The good news is you'll find most of the rest of us there with you. As for those who aren't, well, you need to recognize that there are some people whose approval you're not supposed to have or want, whose rejection you should wear as a badge of honor. In other words, you will raise your voices and make haters hear you. That's your only option when people try to impose silence upon you: Speak louder.
In the end, I'll echo Pitts by saying in my "open letter" to the LGBTQ kids in Florida, and to all marginalized people for that matter, this nutty "don't say gay" legislation is just another sad sign of the times. Yours is on a growing list of "don't say this," "don't say that" and book banning zaniness that's sweeping what was once a sane nation.
However, know that there are more good people in this world than bad, and most of them are there with you.
Isolation and loneliness aside, they're there with you.

How a Young Cancer Survivor Inspired His Community to Show Up
Home » Blood Health » How a Young Cancer Survivor Inspired His Community to Show Up
In a single moment, life as we know it can change forever. For Oliver Israel, this moment seemed to come with no warning.
As a student at Boston University, he played on the ice hockey team with aspirations to go professional. After returning home from a weekend long hockey tournament, Oliver's biggest worry was getting through exams so he could return home for Thanksgiving break.
Sudden diagnosis
Noticing leg pain from the tournament, he scheduled an MRI for the following day. Instead of learning the cause of the pain, Oliver was told he needed to go for more testing to confirm the results. He quickly agreed, concerned only about the impact of an injury on his burgeoning hockey career.
When the results came in, he was called into the hospital where a doctor entered the room and delivered life-changing news. Oliver had leukemia and would need a bone marrow transplant.
"This is the instant where my amazing and blemish-free life totally get flipped on its head," says Oliver.
With the help of his family, he set up a drive to hopefully find himself a donor and spread awareness about blood cancer. Out of the hundreds of people that registered, one young man that was inspired was Oliver's friend, Noah. Fortunately for Oliver, he was found a matching donor already on the registry, got a transplant and is now preparing for graduation in the spring.
Rallying friends
When Noah Friedman heard about the donor drive happening for his friend and teammate, he knew he had to do everything he could to help. "I didn't exactly know how to process it so I did whatever I could to be there for him and show my support," says Noah.
A few months later, Noah got the call. He was a match for a young girl. Even though he didn't know anything about the patient, he didn't think twice when the time came to help a person in need.
Noah and Oliver now share their own experiences in order to encourage people to help others battling blood cancer and join the registry. "My mother taught me that one of the most important things you can do for someone struggling with illness or loss is simply to be there and show up," says Noah.

Q: Play GNU screen terminal sessions and slow them down I have some log files made with GNU screen which I would like to watch.
These use elinks and vim, it is not simple bash text.
If I use cat, it almost works save that it is too fast. Is there a way to slow it down? I thought about writing a simple C program just like cat but sleeping a fraction of a second between outputting each character, unless there is a simpler way.
Since it looks like GNU screen is not the right tool to share, record and play the Linux terminal, I am opened to suggestions about using better tools next time, so I won't have this problem again.

A: I made the following C program to cat(1) a file pausing a certain number of microseconds after each character. Usage example:
$ ./slowcat screenlog.0 2000
if I want to stop while watching, I just send the SIGSTOP signal from my keyboard (Ctrl-S). I then send SIGCONT (Ctrl-Q) to resume. Ctrl-C to quit.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

MLS Standings & Scores
D.C. United 2016 Season
D.C. United remain winless after a 1-1 draw with the Colorado Rapids
Fabian Espindola salvaged a late point for the Black-and-Red after Dillon Powers put the Rapids ahead in the second half

Share All sharing options for: D.C. United remain winless after a 1-1 draw with the Colorado Rapids
Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports
D.C. United's winless streak to start the season ran to five games, as the Black-and-Red salvaged a late point in a 1-1 draw with the Colorado Rapids. Looking for their first win of the MLS season after a loss and draw in their first two games, United were pegged back in the second half through a Dillon Powers header.
Fabian Espindola, who was a second half substitute, found the back of the net for United in the 80th minute, earning United their second point of the season, in the team's home opener in MLS play.
United were in control of the early proceedings, but did little to test Zac MacMath in goal. Luciano Acosta created mayhem in the Colorado box with a takeaway in the 11th minute, but his initial shot was blocked, and Lamar Neagle's effort from a secondary cross was headed wide of the goal.
Patrick Nyarko found Nick DeLeon in the box after some fancy footwork four minutes later, but DeLeon's effort, which either could have been a shot or a cross, didn't find a teammate, or test MacMath on it's way out for a goal kick. Neagle took aim from a free kick on the side of the box in the 20th minute, but the angle allowed MacMath to push the shot away for a corner without much trouble.
Colorado had done little in the way of attacking in the first until, but nearly went ahead in the 30th minute, as Kevin Doyle struck the woodwork, Dominique Badji knocked down a cross in the box, and Doyle, who was on the ground, somehow managed to take aim towards goal, only for the shot to bounce off the post. The ball then careened off of keeper Travis Worra, and United was able to deal with the resulting corner.
DeLeon had a shot blocked in the 35th minute from a layoff from Acosta, before Taylor Kemp had to dive in on Badji two minutes later to prevent the winger from getting his shot on target from inside the box.
Chris Rolfe's nifty turn in the 40th minute opened up an opportunity for the Black-and-Red, with Neagle finding space for a run into the box. Rolfe spotted the run, and picked out Neagle with a perfectly placed pass, but MacMath made an one-handed save to deny Neagle a second goal on the season.
Despite being second best for most of the first half, Colorado came out in the second half on the front foot, creating chances, and looking more likely to score early on. Powers picked out Badji with a through ball in the 52nd minute, but Worra was quick off his line to get a touch in, poking the ball away from the streaking Badji.
Mekeil Williams, the Rapids' right back, skipped past a challenge in the 56th minute, creating an opening to send a cross into the box. Doyle timed his run into the middle, but Williams' curling cross was just out of the reach of a diving Doyle.
After a lull in play, United saw their fortunes change dramatically in the matter of moments. In the 67th minute, D.C. should have been ahead through Steve Birnbaum. After Marcelo Sarvas won a ball in midfield, Neagle was able to play a ball to the back post for Birnbaum. The center back was right on the doorstep, but failed to direct his volley on frame.
And moments later at the other end, the Rapids were ahead. The Rapids were able to force a corner, and Marco Pappa, the hero last week in the win against the LA Galaxy, found Powers in the middle, with the midfielder heading home from close range for the 1-0 lead.
Sam Cronin nearly made it two for Colorado in the 76th, skipping a shot just wide of the goal. Luis Solignac was able to knock a header down in the box, allowing Cronin to take aim, but with just Worra to beat, the ball went wide of the far post.
That paved way for Espindola's equalizer, as United were on level terms in the 80th minute. Kemp delivered a left footed ball into the box, with MacMath failing to secure the ball. The loose ball then dropped to Nyarko six yards out, but his shot was blocked. Espindola was there then to clean it up, putting his shot away for his first goal of the 2016 season.
United looked the likeliest to find a winner in the last ten minutes, creating several chances. Espindola took aim from a tight angle in the 82nd minute, but the shot burned over the goal. Espindola then found fellow substitute Alvaro Saborio with an early cross in the 84th minute, but the Costa Rican could only weakly turn his header towards goal, allowing MacMath to collect easily.
D.C. United, with two points from three games, returns to action next Saturday at home against FC Dallas.

Challenge Minus Danger
Chris Gelbach
Playground Advancements Help Children Experience Risk With Fewer Big Injuries
PHOTO COURTESY OF BERLINER
Playgrounds can play an important role in helping kids feel adventurous and test their limits, without exposing them to unnecessary risk. While the pendulum several years ago seemed to be swinging toward more risk-averse designs, continuing advances in surfacing, rope-based structures and other options are facilitating a trend toward more 'wow' factor without more injuries.
According to Tom Norquist, president of the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA), AS™ standards have always focused on eliminating the potential for life-threatening or debilitating injuries.
Norquist noted that today's playground equipment is far superior to that of the past, from a design standpoint, with safer play in mind. These advancements have included huge strides in eliminating protruding hardware and equipment, entrapping equipment and entangling situations that could cause an injury.
As a result, injuries per year have stayed relatively flat year over year, even as the nation's population has increased and the number of playgrounds have increased tremendously.
"There may be some expectations by society that are maybe even a more severe elimination of risk or chance for injury," Norquist said. "For example, is it OK to break a bone on a playground or in the act of playing? That's a question we need to answer, I think."
It's a concern that surfacing manufacturers are trying to mitigate with ongoing surface advancements. "The surfacing industry is fantastic in what they've done in creating better surfaces that last longer, that are resilient and help attenuate potential injuries from falls," Norquist said.
A Return to Adventure
In turn, these advancements may even be nudging the industry back toward more adventurous equipment. "I think there's been so many years we've gone through of equipment that's kind of sterile and bland and unchallenging, and it's kind of worked along with kids and screen time and being away from playgrounds," said Scott Liebelt, engineering and product development manager for a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of playground structures. "But I think we're seeing a trend where it's going back the other way where we're recognizing that … kids really need a risk. Sometimes it's difficult to swallow that risk if somebody gets hurt, but kids need the risk, and there's all kinds of research and experts that tell you, you need to have risk and challenge for kids to have proper development."
Playgrounds can play an important role in helping kids feel adventurous and test their limits, without exposing them to unnecessary risk.
One trend contributing to this increased perceived risk—and abetted by safer surfaces and the popularity of rope-based structures—is a move toward taller playground structures.
"Some of the equipment is getting taller by design. Some of the surfacing is now attenuating falls from a much higher height than in the past," Norquist said. "So when you put the improved surfacing with some of the more challenging equipment, in theory, you have the same standard level of care."
According to Kevin Rambaud, regional sales director for a Germany-based manufacturer of rope-focused playground structures, his company typically keeps the fall height of its structure under 10 feet.
"I think people are seeing that it's a perceived risk—it's not a hazard," Rambaud said. "And kids are actually in more control when they're climbing because they're more focused and there's always two or three points connected at one time when they're climbing a rope structure, so they tend to be safer."
Liebelt noted that manufacturers are also creating perceived risk through the incorporation of lateral climbing. His company is also offering rope climbers with wall meshes of rope that are angled as opposed to strictly vertical to allow climbers with less upper-body strength to experience the risk and challenge of vertical climbing.
Mitigating Equipment Risks
According to 2009 data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the top four equipment pieces associated with injuries between 2001 and 2008 were climbers (23 percent), swings (22 percent), slides (17 percent) and overhead ladders (9 percent).
PHOTO COURTESY OF GAMETIME
Falls and equipment failure were involved in 67 percent of incidents, with fractures being responsible for 36 percent of injuries. To mitigate these risks, the CPSC warns parents and daycare providers that children's plastic climbing equipment should never be placed on wood or cement floors, even if covered with carpet, or on other hard surfaces such as concrete and asphalt. The National Recreation and Park Association also adds surfaces such as packed earth and grass to the list in its Playground Safety Fact Sheet, while adding that acceptable surfaces can include "wood fiber and wood chips, sand, pea gravel, synthetic and rubber tiles, poured-in-place rubber, shredded rubber and mats."
"Surfacing is really the number-one problem that causes injuries," Liebelt said. "If you review some of the injury data from CPSC, it's always falls to the surface. And it's often hard to get exact information, but most times it's inadequate surfacing down there. So anything we can get out that says to make sure the surfacing is adequately maintained is worth a mention."
In terms of the playground equipment itself, the CPSC's Public Playground Safety Handbook published in 2015 recommends against the use of certain types of equipment on public playgrounds, including:
Swinging gates
Giant strides (a piece of equipment mostly eliminated by the 1960s, involving a pole with ropes attached that children could grab and circle so their feet would leave the ground)
Climbing ropes that are not secured at both ends
Heavy metal swings such as animal figures
Traditional multiple-occupancy swings
Free-swinging ropes that may fray or otherwise form a loop
Swinging dual exercise rings and trapeze bars
Equipment failure—be it through wear, breakage, design issues or improper assembly—is second only to falls as a cause of playground injuries. It's also the cause recreation managers and their teams are most able to prevent through proper playground maintenance.
This should start upon installation of the equipment by having a Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) inspect the installed playground. "Making sure everything is in order can help to make sure you don't start out with any issues vs. trying to catch them after you open the playground," said Sarah Liesiecki, CPSI, marketing communications specialist for a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of playground structures. She also recommends always buying from companies that have IPEMA certifications on their products and that follow AS™ and CPSC guidelines.
For quality training in playground maintenance, Norquist strongly recommends the Eppley Institute's Playground Maintenance Technician Program (PMT). The two-day program focuses on practical playground maintenance practices, inspection principles and best practices in making repairs.
"It's a maintenance program where you're trained on how to properly maintain playgrounds, and it is thorough and it's new and it's great," Norquist said. "And when they're putting these on right now, they're selling out."
According to the program site, the program provides knowledge about the equipment, how to inspect it, how to correct common issues to prevent hazards, and how to document repairs properly. It is designed to train front-line maintenance staff on how to improve playground user safety and prolong the useful life of equipment through proper playground maintenance.
In addition, quality playground manufacturers typically provide materials such as maintenance information, checklists and safety kits to assist with the proper ongoing maintenance of specific pieces of equipment.
"Documentation is huge," Liebelt said. "That helps you if there is any kind of litigation later. Knowing that you've done your maintenance, you've done your checks."
Designing for Better Safety and Fun
Thoughtful playground design can add an additional level of safety for kids. This can include strategic placing of the equipment to ensure proper flow and circulation of children among the various pieces of equipment. "You don't want to have somebody have to get from the climber to the slide and walk through the middle of the swings or something," Liebelt said.
He also recommended laying out the space with a clear separation between the equipment for ages 2 to 5 and the 5-to-12 area—and it's not just because some of the equipment for older kids may be dangerous for the younger ones.
PHOTO COURTESY OF MIRACLE RECREATION
"There's different play behaviors there," Liebelt said. A 2- to 5-year-old is expecting the play behavior of somebody their own age. If they're in the middle of 5- to 12-year-olds, there can be some problems because there's something that they don't expect."
Norquist is also seeing industry designers opt to include design elements on playgrounds for older kids that are provided to protect even the youngest users. This becomes particularly important with newer playgrounds that are designed to be inclusive.
"When we add transfer and/or ramp accessibility to that 5-to-12 structure, we've given physical access to lots of it, including equipment that we may not have designed for those preschoolers," Norquist said. "So we have designers thinking about that in terms of how do we make it not just compliant, but beyond compliant, to help protect the younger user that might be there without proper supervision?"
At the same time, design elements can be included that actively encourage proper supervision that can help mitigate some of these concerns. For example, including comfortable spaces for adults to sit inside of the play space encourages multigenerational engagement while providing an opportunity for proper supervision without helicopter parenting.
"Research shows that having comfortable accessible seating for anyone—the supervisor or the caregiver—gives children more time at the playground," Liesiecki said. "But it also gives kids that opportunity for proper supervision without being over-supervised."
Keen attention to placing the equipment in shady areas and deploying shade structures where needed also contributes to increased safety, better utilization and longer play times. "You don't want to go build a playground and have it too hot to be played on six months out of the year," Norquist said.
Variety for All
As recreation departments strive to provide playgrounds that up the entertainment and developmental value, they are increasingly opting for a broader variety of play options.
"Something interesting trend-wise that we're seeing is having a huge amount of play variety," Liesiecki said. This helps create a playground space that gives all kids the opportunity to be challenged at a level at which they're comfortable while also pushing them a little bit. "It meets them at the level they're at and gives them a level to step up to and work toward and maybe fail and then be taught resiliency by keeping going back," she said.
In his work, Rambaud is also seeing more and more requests for custom playgrounds that are unique and offer more 'wow' factor. "People are looking for something different. I hear that all the time," Rambaud said. "They want something less plastic, something more transparent, something that nobody else has."
PHOTO COURTESY OF LANDSCAPE STRUCTURES INC.
According to Rambaud, these requests often include taller rope towers, more embankment slides, and slides that go down to different elevations and levels of the structure. This can also include rope structures and other elements en route to the top of the slide.
"That's the key—functional—not just a bunch of steps to get to a slide," Rambaud said. "They want something that adds play value and function, while they're getting all the things they're looking for, which is the height, the visual, the unique and something inclusive. They seem to want everything, and there are options to get it—or at least diversity in the playground."
He's also seeing more interest in spinning elements and group swings. Providing a diversity of options within a category of play to better serve and include all users is another growing trend.
For instance, swing areas are now more likely to contain options such as traditional belt swings, swings with back support that children with mobility issues can use safely and face-to-face parent/toddler swings. In addition to boosting the fun factor for all, this approach also helps children build empathy for others, helps build stronger bonds and encourages collaborative and group play.
Group spinners that include seating options that allow children of all abilities to play together are also becoming more popular. Along with other options such as zip and cable rides, a general trend toward more motion on the playground is growing.
With these moving parts come increased maintenance obligations. "Motion products require even more maintenance than the normal playground does because there's something moving, there's a bearing or rope or chain—something's rubbing somewhere to have motion," Liebelt said. "So the maintenance program becomes even more important with those types of products."
The Importance of Community Support
Getting buy-in from the community is important to maximizing the play value of a new playground. Building these relationships can also provide valuable touchpoints at which to reiterate the importance of certain safety measures.
"If I'm a recreation manager and I'm thinking about my job, I want to provide some of the most fun play experiences that I can," Norquist said. "And I want to do that in a way that people in my community get excited about it and they want to come and play in the parks. So I'm thinking I'm going to be exploring some of the newer play equipment."
Norquist recommends conducting community meetings about play and playgrounds at community centers or other local gathering spaces to have a two-way communication to inform the public about what facilities are available. It can also be an opportunity to remind people about important safety procedures such as being sure kids aren't wearing drawstrings to the playground, aren't wearing bike helmets while on the equipment, and aren't doing things like tying a rope onto an overhead ladder to make a Tarzan rope.
PHOTO COURTESY OF PLAYWORLD
At these meetings, parents and children can also be given a number to call and encouraged to contact the recreation department if they observe any kind of equipment malfunction on any playground.
These hazards, as the NRPA notes in its Playground Safety Fact Sheet, can include "things such as missing, broken or worn-out components; fatigued or deteriorated metal, wood and plastic; and vandalism or graffiti. All parts of equipment should be stable with no signs of loosening, and surfacing material should be maintained."
The meetings can provide additional value in giving the department an opportunity to dive deeper with patrons and learn what equipment and offerings they like and don't like. "Listen to the community and use that as the basis for your capital improvement programs over the next five, 10 years," Norquist said. "That would be a great support system and would create alignment with your users and get them on board with your program. When it comes time for a bond [down the road], they're probably going to pass it."
Proper surfacing and equipment design to minimize fall heights and the consequences of falls are critical. But maximal safety also requires ongoing maintenance and proper supervision. In the end, recreation managers are responsible for creating the safest, most entertaining and most adventurous playgrounds they can. But the best playground results in terms of safety, utilization and fun will always come through a commitment to ongoing community involvement.


Lionel Messi make it into Champions League centenarian club.
A brilliant free kick from the maestro Lionel Messi himself cap off a brilliant convincing win in last night Champions League match against Olympiakos.
His free marks his 100th European goals. 97 in the Champions League and 3 in UEFA Super Cup.
Only Ronaldo has scored more with 111 goals in European Competitions.
The Messiah has been by far the best player in the team this season.
Although that is no surprise.
But with quality teammates, you would have expect they will lessen up the burden and take more responsibility.
Touch, dribble, shoot, pass. Everything he does on the pitch make so much sense and deserved all the credit.
He has scored 15 goals in all competitions so far.
FACT! Do you know who is the second top goal scorer for Barcelona this season?
OWN GOAL! 5 own goals Barcelona's opponent scored and it is still more goals than the likes of Luis Suarez who you would expect to do more.
Without Messi, Barcelona will not be where they are now.
Players performance especially defends and forwards are so lacking.
The only thing worth watching Barcelona this season is because Messi's heroic shadows their flaw.
He would get the ball in the circle, dribble way up, diagonal ball to the side or to the front.
Perfect through ball, and his teammates will convert almost none every game.
Especially Luis Suarez. You expect more from the Uruguayan for his quality as a center forward.
Everytime he is put through one-on-one or stumble upon a clear cut chance, he miss it.
If the others don't step up, and Messi good form runs out, Barcelona will be in serious trouble.
The team obviously need more different goalscorers to gain extra confidence for the team and players themselves.
Ttheir flaws is hidden under the light of Messi, thus is not noticeable but it will, when the season goes on.
In the meantime, we only have to be in awe the greatness of Messi.
15 goals in all competitions, brought Argentina to the World Cup by himself, and hat-trick of children very soon.

I had an angel here beside me, Sent to Earth to help and guide me, An angel always there for me Sent to love and care for me. She did the things that angels should: She taught me what was bad and good, She gave me hope when no one cared, She held my hand when I was scared, She cheered me up when I was down (She could make a smile from a frown), She doctored me when I was sick, And many another angel trick. Today my angel earned her wings, Her halo, harp and other things. But today I'm lost and all alone For today God took my grandma home.
Aunt Sue. Was the best . A will be missed.We all loved her.
We are sorry for the loss of your loved one. Dot was a sweet, loving, and strong lady. We will remember her sweet smile always and will miss her. We look forward to seeing her one day when we are all with our Heavenly Father in a place we can can only dream of.
Dear Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. My father Junior Deakins and Dorothy were first cousins. May God Bless You.


How much should we worry about the Yuan?
Slowing global growth, quantitative tightening and a slower pace of real money growth weighed heavily on global equity prices in the final quarter of 2018. In addition, unsettling data developments in China coupled with tightening conditions in the corporate bond market have forced the PBoC to cut interest rates and undermined market assumptions about currency stability. How much should we worry about USDCNY in 2019?
Last weekend, China's National Bureau of Statistics reported that economic growth ticked down to 6.4 per cent in the fourth quarter, leaving the official version of 2018 growth at its weakest in 28 years. However, economists have complained for many years that China tends to overestimate its GDP growth rate. For example, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences has argued that a more accurate estimate of Chinese real GDP growth rate is obtained by multiplying the annual change in industrial production by 0.7.
Figure 1 (left chart) shows that the time series (real GDP and adjusted IP) co-moved very closely between 1992 and 2012 but have diverged subsequently. According to the adjusted IP measure, China has slowed more significantly than portrayed in the official data, to an annual pace of around 4 per cent. A possible explanation for the divergence is the explosive growth of the digital economy.
Most recently, Chinese exports and imports collapsed in December, falling by 4.4 per cent and 7.6 per cent YoY, respectively, indicative of a deterioration in global goods demand. In figure 1 (right frame), we observe that the fall in the trade data was largely anticipated by the deterioration in the Citi Economic Surprise Index for the G10 economies (using a 6-month lead), especially in the Euro area, and the uncertainty around the trade war. Hence, further deterioration in the Chinese economic activity could weigh on global equities and some commodities in the course of this year.
Another revealing chart is the annual change in Total Social Financing, a broader measure of credit, overlaid with a 6-month lead with the annual change in global equities (figure 2, left frame). While there are many candidates to explain the weakness in global equity prices – US quantitative tightening, falling global real money growth (M1) and a rise in uncertainty – the slowing pace of Chinese credit expansion may also have played a part. Figure 2 (right frame) shows that the weaker-than-expected Chinese economic data has frequently influenced equity performance over the past few years. The Shanghai Stock Exchange sits currently at critical levels with investors' risk appetite standing at extreme lows.
As real (M1) money growth has fallen over the past few years, China's excess liquidity has contracted, adding further pressure to both equity and the property markets. Figure 3 (left frame) shows that excess liquidity tends to lead (by 9 months) house prices in China. Empirical studies have estimated that a 10 per cent decline in demand for real estate and housing-related construction could lead to a 2-percentage-point fall in economic output.
In the credit market, we saw an important divergence in the borrowing costs between AAA and AA- rated bonds (figure 3, right frame). While the yield on 5-year AAA bonds has tracked the fall in government yields over the past year, borrowing costs for AA- rated bonds have remained flat at around 7 per cent due to the rise in corporate defaults in 2018 (totalling CNY157bn, more than the combined total for 2014-2017). Even though corporate defaults still represent less than 1 percent of the outstanding market (US$4bn), investors should beware the corporate bond market this year, and especially the non-state-owned companies (usually rated AA- and below).
Therefore, to reverse investor sentiment, Chinese officials must sustain an accommodative stance regarding the liquidity injections from the PBoC and the required reserve ratios (RRR) for most commercial banks. As shown in figure 4, left frame, while the Fed has maintained its tightening policy in 2018, hiking its target rate four times, China reduced its RRR four times (including January 2019 cut).
While the RRR-Fed Funds differential is irrelevant in terms of 'carry', the abrupt depreciation of the Chinese Yuan last year, taking the USDCNY spot rate from 6.25 to almost 7, penalised speculative activity in Chinese assets. If Chinese policymakers fail to shore up domestic asset prices and reassure investors, then the exchange rate could easily retest and eventually break the psychological resistance level of 7, which would tighten financial conditions in the US Dollar-denominated bond market. For now, the softening Fed stance has alleviated CNY pressure, but we cannot dismiss the possibility of the USDCNY breaking the psychological 7 level this year.

Not just a teacher
Spanish teacher aims to connect with students' passion while pursuing her own
Drew Parr, Reporter
She never thought this is where she would be. 28-year-old Jensen Ricke teaches her Spanish students every day, hoping everything will go as planned, even though, this isn't what she planned.
"So, I've always liked helping kids and being able to help people and then when I went to college, I took a Spanish class," Ricke said. "I really liked it and my professor said, 'Hey you should major in Spanish' and I was like 'I can teach with that,' and so it wasn't necessarily something that I always wanted to do but I wanted to do something in the field of helping people and so Spanish kind of led me into teaching."
Teaching isn't something that Ricke would have dreamed of doing for her career. She said she always wanted to be a nurse because she loves helping people. Even though that plan fell through, she still wouldn't think she could be teaching high school.
"I wouldn't have chosen [high school] if I thought about [teaching] when I was in school," she said, "I definitely would have said elementary. I never would have thought high school."
Becoming a teacher takes a lot of work and effort. Ricke says she wasn't prepared to start her first-class teaching on her own. For her, the first-time teaching in high school "is like being in high school again." Since she has always been a Bulldog fan she says, it made it a little easier to start fresh.
"It was definitely hard [being the first time in class alone]," Ricke said. "College can't prepare you for a classroom full of 30 teenagers, seven times a day."
Ricke says she likes teaching high school kids because she can relate to them better than elementary school kids. With teaching high school students, it comes with its challenges according to Ricke.
"Working with teenagers makes it more fun because you can relate to them a lot more," she says, "but sometimes the attitudes that you get with them or the defiance to not wanting to do any of the work. When we do practice, just having participation it makes it a lot less successful."
"With all that stress comes reward" and Ricke enjoys the good times with teaching. Even though she is challenged every day, she gets to look at the students that become her favorites and see how she has shaped those students.
"The type of students who struggle at first, but they work really hard [are my favorites]," Ricke said. "Eventually, if they continue doing the work, then they have that a-ha moment and they get it."
Ricke does more with NAHS than teaching. In her sixth year of teaching, she became the business manager for the athletic department. Ricke says it gives her change and "more opportunity to go to more athletic events" as well as "shows the kids support."
In recent months, Ricke says dealing with COVID-19 makes teaching "that much harder." She has to find ways to work around students not always being in class, and not being able to help them with all their learning needs.
"Originally before school started," Ricke says, "I was nervous students weren't going to learn anything. It's really hard to try and get participation while students are ALL virtual and there is the chance that you will never meet some students and that just makes it hard to go by."
With the challenges of COVID-19 comes the challenges that would happen in her normal class. Ricke says she has many 'pet peeves' that get in the way of everyday life—and she says it makes it "a whole lot harder."
"Cellphones and technology," she said. "They are definitely the worst things about teaching. And this year it's impossible to crack down on them so you don't know if a kid is doing their work or nothing school related at all."
Overall, Ricke says her goal in teaching is to make an impact on the student's lives. She says she wants to teach the students Spanish, and learn to appreciate the language, but she also says she wants them to know that they were cared for, and that someone hoped for the best.
"I want them to feel that they were loved and cared about and that they had someone that supported them and cared for them if they ever needed help," Ricke said. "When they look back in 50years they may not be able to speak Spanish correctly, but when they look back, they say, 'oh yeah, that teacher cared for me.'"
Teaching at New Albany High School has brought Ricke many close friends she says. April Goforth teaches Spanish alongside of Ricke, and she has become very close with Ricke. Their friendship has not only improved their bond, but also their teaching Goforth says.
"She is extremely creative and comes up with a variety of fun activities that I like to use in class," Goforth said. "She has been a tremendous help to me throughout my time here at New Albany. She and I have collaborated to create a variety of materials. She is an excellent teacher and dear friend!"
There is way more to teaching than getting the material to the students. Teachers are superheroes for the students, and Ricke demonstrates the work it takes to be a teacher, and to be the person who shapes the minds of students.
"It's a lot of work! You're not just a teacher," she said, "you're a counselor, a nurse, you're a mom, you're a friend, you're a therapist, you're a janitor…you are way more than a teacher."

ROSELLE PARK, NJ - The Roselle Park Council tabled a resolution to terminate a contract providing commuter parking at a lot next to the New Jersey Transit train station following a lengthy discussion at Thursday's night's Council meeting.
Residents say for years they have parked at the Ryan Property lot located in the area along West Lincoln Avenue next to the New Jersey Transit train station between Chestnut Street and Locust Street. The rest of the space is owned by NJ Transit.
The Ryan Property lot is the only lot with available reserved parking spaces for commuters and without it, commuting to New York City would be more difficult than it already is. The borough has leased the space since late 2018 and has spent $5,000 so far.
Residents pay $465 for reserved parking in the lot, or $39 monthly or $1.80 a day. Without this lot available, many residents who commute into the city by train would no longer have parking.
Marianna Brenner, a 20-year resident, said she was unaware that the lot was leased from a private company. She proposed her own idea: that the township advertises for available properties for residents to park. She said it's better than driving around and parking in front of people's houses and on side streets.
"I think there should be perhaps a first come, first serve policy at the reserved lot or have more advertisements for public parking available in the surrounding area near the train station," said Brenner.
The commuter lot issue led to a discussion by Councilman Joe DeIorio about other relevant issues about permits. Residents sometimes are unable to get to the station to purchase a permit so one suggestion was to make the permits available online so people can download the forms.
Mayor Joseph Signorello III said poor planning equals poor results. "I'm all for possible solutions," he commented.
Councilman Rob Mathieu, who said he first raised concerns for residents about the lease termination back in December, said the reserved parking lot should remain open to the public, especially in cases of severe snow since the reserved lot is closed on snow days and side street is not optional either.
Mathieu made references towards teacher's specifically from Roselle Park because if there are bad snow days, they shouldn't have to wait for the lot to be open and they, like other residents, pay to have those parking spots. Other means of parking space availability should be a priority to help residents.
Councilman DeIorio also suggested posting on the Roselle Park website information that would show what public areas are closed for parking during snow days, including the reserved parking lot.
In other news, council members approved the promotions of Lieutenant Manuel Jimenez to the Rank of Captain, Detective Sergeant Dominick Frino to the Rank of Lieutenant and Detective Richard Cocca to the Rank of Detective Sergeant all to the Roselle Park Police Department respectively.

Poland selects Babcock's Arrowhead 140 for new frigate programme
The company will now work on detailed design and planning process for systems integration.
Arrowhead 140 is a general-purpose light frigate being developed by Babcock-led Team 31. Credit: © Babcock International Group.
The Polish Armaments Agency has chosen Babcock's Arrowhead 140 (AH140) design for the country's new MIECZNIK (Swordfish) frigate programme.
The AH140 was one of three proposed designs shortlisted by the PGZ-MIECZNIK consortium, which is led by Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (Polish Armaments Group, PGZ), in July 2021.
The consortium will deliver three coastal defence frigates as part of an order placed by the Polish Armaments Inspectorate (AI). The vessels will enhance Poland's naval capabilities.
Under this frigate programme, Babcock will serve as the technology partner and platform design provider.
The company will now work with the PGZ-MIECZNIK consortium and Babcock on the design and systems integration planning process, which is anticipated to complete this year.
Babcock will assist with the construction of three AH140 frigates in Polish shipyards once the design phase is concluded.
Through a design licensing agreement and transfer of technologies and know-how, the company will customise the frigate design and make effective use of Poland's shipbuilding and industrial capabilities, as well as its global supply chain.
Babcock CEO David Lockwood said: "Its adaptability and capability mean we can tailor the design to suit the needs of the Polish Navy. Driven by innovation and backed by heritage, the Arrowhead 140 frigate has British ingenuity and engineering at its core.
"But above all, we are looking forward to working with Poland as it develops and grows its shipbuilding capability, creating real social and economic benefits for the country.
"As well as delivering a first-class frigate that will contribute significantly to the sovereign defence capability of Poland, this is a demonstrable commitment to a long-term industrial relationship between the UK and Poland."
In a separate development, Thales has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with PGZ-MIECZNIK Consortium to provide a tactical information and command system (TACTICOS) for the programme.
Under this agreement, Thales will work together with the Polish industry and consortium members to strengthen Poland's air and missile defence capabilities.
Thales UK chief executive and chairman Alex Cresswell said: "Being down-selected by Polish Armed Forces recognises the technology we can offer but also the experience we bring to integrating and delivering complex systems."
Last year, Indonesia selected the AH140 platform as the basis of its new frigate programme.

Trump seen boosting border agents, targeting those in U.S. illegally
The Wider Image: Wild horse border patrol
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders starting on Wednesday aimed at securing the U.S. border, cracking down on people in the United States illegally, and temporarily banning most refugees, two congressional aides said.
Among the actions are plans for hiring 5,000 more U.S. border agents and a call for local law enforcement to work with federal immigration authorities, according to the aides, who could not be named because the actions have not been announced. Trump is also expected to cut the refugee cap in half for fiscal year 2017, down to 50,000, they said.

According to its website, the capital of the bank reached 1.8 billion Birr in 2016. Its deposits in 2013–14 exceeded 16 billion birr. Wegagen Bank is a medium-sized bank Wegagen with a network of 397 branches of which 144 are in Addis Ababa and the remaining 253 are located in other cities and towns of the country. To expand its service coverage, the bank keeps on opening additional branches both in Addis Ababa and regional towns. Wegagen Bank is a pioneer to introduce a core banking system as of July 2000, thereby managing to network the head office and all branches. Through its versatile ISO Standard Core Banking System, the bank is now delivering more efficient services to its customers. The system has also enabled the bank to provide technology-based banking services such as card payment services (through ATM & POS), internet banking as well as mobile banking services.

TSA screener spilled grandfather's ashes, then laughed about it, Indiana man says
An Indiana man is demanding a direct apology from a Transportation Security Administration agent in Florida who, the man says, spilled his grandfather's ashes during an airport bag check - and then laughed off the incident.
And John Gross is also demanding that the TSA release any security surveillance tapes of the incident - tapes that the federal agency claims simply don't exist.
Gross, 30, was returning home from visiting family in Orlando, Florida, on June 19, carrying with him a portion of his grandfather's ashes that had been passed along by an uncle - a "real sentimental kind of guy," says Gross - when he approached TSA screeners. A female agent wearing blue latex gloves inspected the contents of his bag, says Gross, including the jar clearly labeled "Human Remains."
"I said, 'Please be careful, these are my grandpa's ashes,'" Gross told CNN Wednesday. But, he said, the agent proceeded to stick her finger in the jar then accidentally spilled its contents on the airport floor.
She then laughed, according to Gross - not an uproarious cackle, but a chuckle that he found offensive nonetheless.
"She thought it was funny," he said. "I wanted to smack her."

You knew it was coming. bciah's HS&G of the day.
There was a gentleman in the hospital bed next to me. He was covered with bandages from head to toe. I said to him, "What do you do for a living?"
He said, "I'm a former window washer."
I asked, "When did you give it up?"
He replied, "Halfway down."
Head shaking grooooooooan @Rawr...
lmao @ bobcat, and ive been waiting for it all day too! 🙂 and lmao @ HIDE BEHIND, if i was certain my ashes wouldnt end up on a TSAs shoes i would go for cremation, since im not ill go for that old coffin too!
We are the only ones who can smell the roses; try desccribing it to someone who has never smelled one...we all need to stop and smell one once in a while.
That's MY reward, lol...

That's really funny, but if I can be the devil's advocate for a minute, the businessman totally missed the point. We don't work so we can retire and chill on the beach. We work for money so we can support our families. The guy on the beach doesn't have a happy wife at home. If he's married, she's going to kick his butt. If he's not married, and doesn't have any children, and doesn't want any, then yeah... chill on that beautiful beach until Armageddon, brother. And have a nice fruity drink for the rest of us.

my son, traveled to portland,or. on june 5th of this year to see his son graduate and to see his dad who is in a alzheimers care facility. in newark airport, he went thru security and agents confiscated his prescribed pain medication and his daily vitamins saying they were contraband. my son called me and I immediately went on line to find out how to file a complaint . I then called tsa and was informed that tsa agents are not supposed to take medications of any kind. I was asked a few questions and was told that someone would contact me or my son regarding this matter. I was contacted on two occassions, the last one being on june 19th,2012, the e-mail said tsa would not pursue the matterbecause the complaint was incomplete.

The TSA is the laughing stock of the world. No one could make up the horrors inflicted on passengers in this country.
suz625
About a year ago at JFK my friend made a (non-threatening) silly comment about his bottle of soda (not about the TSA or her) that he gave up to the TSA (with no argument). Apparently this agent was annoyed, and shouted to her coworker, "He disrespected me", and sent us over to him for what we thought would be more interrogation. This guy probably was used to her abusing her authority, as he looked embarrassed, apologizing to us. We were especially nice, and nothing happened. USE CAUTION WHEN DEALING WITH THESE AGENTS, AS SOME OF THEM ABUSE THEIR AUTHORITY!!!!

USW exec takes issue with Chinese tire makers
Stan Johnson, the USW International's secretary-treasurer
USW executive: Chinese tire companies lack facts
The U.S. market is under assault from unfairly traded imports of passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China. Following three years of import relief under a now-expired provision of U.S. law, imports into the U.S. soared the last two years, more than doubling. Once again, American workers and communities across the country are paying the price.
In the Sept. 22 issue of Rubber & Plastics News, Walt Weller, vice president of strategic accounts of the Chinese-affiliated China Manufacturers Alliance L.L.C./Double Coin, claims unfair trade practices are not in play in Chinese tire trade with the U.S. He even claims that American workers and their industry are not harmed.
The record clearly belies his assertions.
The United Steelworkers filed antidumping and countervailing duty petitions earlier this year to address the blatantly unfair trade practices that have harmed American workers. In the past decade, eight tire plants have closed and some 10,000 jobs have been lost. Additional plants and good-paying jobs are now in jeopardy.
In response to the voluminous information the USW submitted to the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission in the petitions filed earlier this year, Commerce initiated both antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. They found that the petitions reasonably supported concerns that dumping could be at rates as high as 89 percent. Some 40 Chinese government subsidy programs also will be investigated.
Next year, we will have more complete information on dumping levels from the government's investigation. We will await the Commerce Department decisions but are confident that the success of Chinese exports to the U.S. is significantly driven by artificially low prices due to unfair trade practices.
The claims of market segmentation and abandonment that are raised in the article ("Exec: Quality of China tires is improving") by Mr. Weller are the very same arguments that were rejected by the U.S. government in the prior case on imported passenger vehicle and light truck (PVLT) tires from China. The evidence is in the long list of disputes with China over its violations of international obligations. China has targeted many industries for development, growth and export expansion. The Chinese PVLT tire industry has enjoyed many government incentives and policies to distort global competition.
America cannot be a dumping ground for unfairly traded tires that harm its workers and their companies. If Chinese tires win the competition in a fair and square manner, then there is no need for corrective measures.
American workers make great tires regardless of price point, place of sale, brand or private label. Consumers receive excellent value when they buy American-produced tires. While unfairly traded, imported tires from China may undersell domestic prices, fairly traded ones most often do not.
Additionally, consumers need to look at all value aspects of the tires they buy. It is necessary to consider the safety of the tires along with reliability and durability. We entrust the safety of our families to our vehicles, but they are only as safe as the tires they ride on. When all facts are considered, consumers, workers and communities benefit when we buy American-made tires.
The correct question to ask is not "Why is the USW picking on China"—we are not—but "When will China actually stop its cheating so the trading system can work for all?"
America has lost too many good, family-supportive jobs to unfair trade practices. In the last 20 years, the worst offender has been China and its heavily state-controlled economy. To all the Mr. Wellers out there, don't expect American workers to lose their jobs without a fight. We are happy to compete, but not against foreign treasuries and dumped imports.
We have no other option than to fight for every American job.

Flood waters on Indiana's Wabash River near Ft. Quiatenon in Tippecanoe County.
A so-called Atmospheric River brought copious rainfall to California the last couple of days. Thursday evening, December 11, I sat glued to my computer screen watching hydrographs of various Golden State rivers and streams. Once again, I was in my element... "pickin' peaks."
Pickin' peaks as rivers rise is in my DNA and a cherished lifelong lifestyle. It's part and parcel of who I am. Last night was just another chapter in my thick book of Pickin' Peaks. We had great success Thursday night and picked two peaks--peaks of the biggest rivers flowing during the Atmospheric River event. We picked the peaks of both the Eel at Fort Seward and the Sacramento at Red Bluff.
As always, it was another exciting episode of one of our very favorite activities. So, how did we become "peak pickers"? And why is pickin' peaks such a cherished lifelong lifestyle? Well, we can sum up both questions with two simple words: Family History.
Pickin' Peaks is in our DNA because both my parents were born into Peak Pickin' Families and when I came along, I already had Peak Pickin' in my genes. I was raised into the time-honored tradition of pickin' peaks. My earliest memories as a tiny child are those of peak river and creek flows. Whenever the Wabash River or Wildcat Creek were flooding, it was my parent's obligation and sacred duty to go bear witness to those events.
Mom and Dad and their family members, Dear Friends, Associates and total strangers would stand on the river or creek banks as close as they dared to the raging, roiling waters. All eyes, minds and hearts were transfixed together by the surging chocolate flows. Whenever anyone said anything, it was always about The Water.
"When will that river peak? How high do you think it will go? Why, I've never seen it this high before? Can you believe how high this creek is today? Oh, I bet it's peaking right now. No, it's not, it's going higher, LOOK! Can't you see that new high water mark? Did you see that whole tree just go by? LOOK, another tree is falling into the creek! Oh, I hope it doesn't take our house. Look at those cars over there halfway under water. It's peaked! It's peaked. I see it. LOOK! There's the high water mark already showing on the bank. See, I put in a stick!"
My Mom always gripped my hand tighter than a vice during those times. There was no chance I could have ever bolted away and disappeared in the flood waters. Mom and Dad were totally mesmerized by flood waters. They could never really get enough of floods. They would often jump in an old 1950's four-door Chevy with "three-on-the-tree" and roar off to see some other creek jump its banks and molest farmland, roads, bridges and occasionally a house or two.
I can't even begin to imagine how many flooded roads and stranded bridges I saw as a child. You see, early engineers were generally always smart enough to elevate their old, tressle-style bridges far, far, FAR above even the wildest possible flood. Generally, however, the roads leading to those bridges would be deep, deep under water.
Sometimes, however, really big floods would creep ever closed to a stranded bridge. That's when huge crowds would gather to watch in awe as the flood crept ever higher to caress the bridge bottom. I can so clearly remember the palpable fear in those crowds. But it was fear mixed with that human desire that somehow lives to see train wrecks and other disasters.
You see, that's where I got my peak pickin' DNA. It goes way, way back and it's been part of my life since my life began. I could no more walk away from peak pickin' than I could change my name and gender. It's me. It's who I am. I hope that when I die, God will have a place for me to pick peaks for the rest of all eternity.
My Mom grew up on Wildcat Creek near Lafayette, Indiana. Her Dad eeked out a meager living digging mussels from the muck of the creek bottom. Her house was built on stilts and perched precariously beside the creek. When the floods came, her family used a boat to get back and forth to the house. Mom knew the pulse of that Wildcat Creek at least as well as she knew her own heartbeat. She met my Dad there on the banks of The Wildcat and they fell in love and made me part of their Family History.
The Wildcat in kinder, gentler times near Mom's old house.
From my earliest days, they both would patiently teach me how to watch a river or creek. They would point out the tiny little nuances of what a river does or how a creek behaves. I learned the annual life cycles of river and creeks almost before I began to walk. I learned to actually feel the pulse of flowing water. It was part and parcel of growing up.
And that's why I can sit rapt in front of a computer screen as I did last night, living and breathing my life with rivers far from home. You see, all rivers and streams worldwide share common bonds and behaviors. Yes, each has its own personality but all those long ribbons of life where water flows are brothers and sisters working together to make magic upon our planet.
It is always exciting and exhilarating to tackle the challenge of pickin' peaks on distant giant rivers. The Eel's watershed above Fort Seward is over 2,000 square miles and the Sacto's is 8,900 square miles. So, pickin' peaks on those two rivers was steppin' a little out of my normal comfort zone for such things. But a river's a river..that much I know for sure. And river's have watersheds and watersheds can be known and quantified. And weather and rainfall can wreck their havoc but they can also be measured and known.
And with a little luck and a long life of pickin' peaks, it's still possible to point a finger and say, "YES! That's IT!" just like I heard so many Old Timers say as I stood making Family History on The Banks of The Wabash River and Wildcat Creek.
The Wildcat showin' off grinding ice near my Mom's old house in Tippecanoe County, Indiana.
I remember you marking the high water on the Colorado one night. The next morning the river had gone down! I guess that was a pick.


WASHINGTON –– Texas storm victims, including those in the Houston area, will have until Sept. 1, 2016 to file their returns and pay any taxes due, the Internal Revenue Service announced today. All workers assisting the relief activities who are affiliated with a recognized government or philanthropic organization also qualify for relief.
Following this week's disaster declaration for individual assistance issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the IRS said that affected taxpayers in Fayette, Grimes, Harris and Parker counties will receive this and other special tax relief.
In addition, the IRS is waiving late-deposit penalties for federal payroll and excise tax deposits normally due on or after April 17 and before May 2 if the deposits are made by May 2, 2016. Details on available relief can be found on the disaster relief page on IRS.gov.


With the 1.4 release of Kubernetes, Google have made instantiating a cluster a whole lot easier. Using Kubeadm, you can bring up a cluster with a single command on each node. A further command will create a DaemonSet which brings up a Weave mesh network between all your nodes.
<node/discovery> created cluster info discovery client, requesting info from "http://172.16.0.128:9898/cluster-info/v1/?token-id=871c6f"
Success! One working cluster. It is worth bearing in mind that deploying via Kubeadm is fairly limited at the moment – it only creates a single etcd container which won't be resilient if a node is lost. The tool is being heavily worked on however, and more functionality will be added in later releases.
Thanks, this was right on the nose for us!
Thanks for that fix Mike, I've updated the post to reflect. Glad to hear someone found my ramblings useful!
