Nic Correale, seen against Concordia in a game earlier this season, scored twice and blocked several shots on the penalty to lead the Griffins to a 5-2 win on Saturday (Matthew Jacula photo).
EDMONTON – Relying heavily on their penalty killing units to snuff out a whopping seven Concordia Thunder powerplays, the MacEwan Griffins scored a 5-2 win over their Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference rival on Saturday night at Clareview Arena.
With the result, the Griffins maintained a grip on third in the ACAC standings at 15-5-1-0, five shy of first-place NAIT with three games in hand.
"We took a lot of penalties," said MacEwan head coach Michael Ringrose of the 18 minutes in Griffins infractions. "We had to lean our penalty kill tonight and they were exceptional.
"Any time you've got to kill as much as we did, you're leaning on guys to block shots and commit to competing in those situations and we did that very well. They're a big reason why we came out on top."
Concordia actually had 24 minutes in penalties, but a 10-minute misconduct to Scott Allen in the third period is included in that total, so it equalled MacEwan holding the man advantage five times in the contest.
They would score on their first powerplay opportunity as Cam Gotaas made Concordia's Nick Tupper pay for a tripping penalty early in the opening frame. Just 22 seconds later, Nolan Yaremchuk put the Griffins up 2-0.
The Thunder cut the lead in half when Chad Hurtubise beat Marc-Olivier Daigle midway through the second period, but MacEwan rookie Nicolas Correale restored the two-goal advantage heading to the third.
Brett Njaa made it 4-1 with 11:40 remaining before Adam Wheeldon pulled the Thunder within two just over a minute later.
But Correale put the capper on the night with his second of the contest to salt away the win with 8:14 left. As good as the rookie from Kamloops, B.C., was on the offensive end, he was even better defensively, leading MacEwan's penalty killing efforts.
"He got himself in front of two or three shots," said Ringrose. "Then he turned around and scored a couple of big goals for us. Just an exceptional performance from him tonight. His line with Njaazy and MacTavish, they were very good. The three of them drove our offence and Nic contributed in other ways as well.
"But I don't want to sell anyone else on that penalty killing unit short," he stressed. "To a man, they were all exceptional. They did a very good job. We took some penalties that we shouldn't have and went to the box more than we needed to, so we're fortunate we were as good as we were on the kill."
Njaa finished with a goal and two assists, while MacTavish had three assists for the Griffins who finished off a weekend sweep of Concordia (also beating them 6-4 on Friday) in their first action since Jan. 25 when teammate Nakehko Lamothe passed away following a game in Calgary.
The Griffins' efforts against Concordia – who are 19 points below them in the standings – were far from perfect, which is understandable, given the emotional toll of the last few weeks. But they still managed four points as they kick off a stretch drive vying for a third-straight ACAC Championship.
"That was my message after the game," said Ringrose. "It's nice to get going again. The results we got this weekend were the results we were looking for. It certainly wasn't our prettiest game either night, but it was an effective one that got the job done.
"As a group, we're continuing to work at getting back to the day-to-day and this weekend was a huge step forward for that."
Next up for the Griffins is a home-and-home series against UAlberta-Augustana (14-7-1-0) on Feb. 15-16 with Friday's game at home (7 p.m., Downtown Community Arena).


Maiden voyage. Pau Hana. SWEET! Just a note to let you know I love the board. It helps me on my quest to achieve NUANAARPUQ, which is the Inuit word meaning, "to take extravagant pleasure in being alive." Hope you guys had a great weekend.
Thank you for spending so much time with Bob and me as we talked and questioned the kayak choice. The decision to go with the Current Design Vision with the rudder was absolutely perfect. I took it out the lake as soon as I got home and I am in love with it! I look forward to many hours of joyful kayaking.
Jim:. Beth, George's wife here. I just want to thank you for your incredible attentiveness and customer service with our purchase. Sending us a picture was icing on the cake. Thank you so very much and for taking our top get the motor mounted.
I just finished kayaking the Namekagon River with the St. Croix River Association in my new CD Vision 135. It was a wonderful kayak for the 6-day trip and performed perfectly. Jim suggested the rudder system and although I'm not a strong paddler, the rudder made me more efficient.
Thank you for providing a delightful kayak.
Got the boat rigged up…using 55lb Minn Kota Traxxis transom mount motor for now. Took out Sat on local lake, worked perfectly…most of the fishing lakes around Omaha are no wake anyway. Family loved it. Thanks so much for your service. Got a lot of comments around the dock…. I'll gladly refer inquirers to your website.
Thank you for the great service and Hobie tutorial. We took them out on the lake and spend all afternoon out there on Sunday. it was a blast. We will definitely spread the word about your business, professionalism and the product expertise you've shown us. Thank you wife and daughter for their part and making us feel welcome.
I got out on one of the local lakes today. Still a lot of ice out there.
Thanks for your input. The back water seems to be a good fit for my intended use and the best craft of its type.
Thank you one final time for all of your help and advice yesterday when Patty and I were there to pick up our new Wenonah Backwater canoe. In addition, thank you once again for your prompt responses to all of my emails prior to us making the drive to purchase the canoe. When we got home, Patty sat "backwards" on a boat cushion in the bow seat to try out "fishing positions" so that I could get a sense of whether I needed to make any kind of adjustment to either lower the thwart or raise the height of the bow seat. To my absolute delight, no adjustments were needed as her legs cleared the thwart perfectly when sitting on that cushion. So all around, great news and what I think will be a great canoe for us.
A quick thank you for your advice on making sure I kept my receipt and brought it with me when I went to register the canoe with the MN DVM. I stopped over there today and that was one of the first things the woman behind the counter asked for. Had you not told me about this, I would have been sent home to look for it and would have wound up wasting about an hour's time. It's always nice to deal with people who know what they are doing and it was pretty obvious that both you and Jim had excellent command of what you are doing.
At some point in the near future, I hope to be working on some kind of Yelp review where I'll be giving our experience with you 5 stars.
Thank you again for your wonderful donation.

Florence Nightingale pursued a career in nursing, a vocation she believed was her moral duty. Enrolling as a nursing student in 1850, Florence made it her mission to improve hospital efficiency and standards in patient care. Carrying a lamp during her rounds in the Crimean War, Florence earned the title "The Lady with the Lamp", providing comfort and compassion to gravely wounded soldiers. Eventually bed-ridden with a chronic illness, Nightingale refused to give up and used her training as a statistician to write books that launched reforms in healthcare. In 1860, she established the Nightingale Training School, continuing to further nursing education while changing the negative attitudes towards women entering the field. Throughout her life, Florence Nightingale continued to use her drive and intelligence to become the pioneer of modern nursing. Celebrate her unwavering determination and lasting impact with the Inspiring Women™ Series Florence Nightingale Barbie® doll.

Prairie Dog Lessons: Bad Law + Federal Overreach = Bad Conservation
Brian Seasholes Policy Analyst, Reason
In the ongoing debate about how to reform the Endangered Species Act, an obscure rodent in southern Utah holds some important lessons, especially that a bad law combined with federal overreach results in lousy conservation.
Just ask Dean and Kathy Lamoreaux. In 1990 they purchased a 200-acre farm near Cedar City, Utah. At the time, the property contained no Utah prairie dogs, one of five species of the rodent native to North America, which lives entirely within the borders of Utah. Then in the mid-1990s problems started when prairie dogs began occupying their property. Prairie dog mounds and burrows have caused thousands of dollars of damage to the Lamoreaux's farm equipment. But in order for Dean and Kathy to be eligible for an exemption under the Endangered Species Act to have some prairie dogs killed or moved off their land, they must first construct a fence, which would cost them additional thousands of dollars.
The Lamoreaux's are two of the many landowners who have lost millions of dollars to the Utah prairie dog, including farmers who lose $1.5 million a year in crop and equipment damage, according to a 1984 estimate by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Since then, as the prairie dog population increased by about 30 percent, property losses and damage have also increased. Dean and Kathy Lamoreaux, like many landowners who harbor endangered species, are not anti-environment. In fact, like most rural landowners, they take great pride in conserving their land. They just think they alone should not have to shoulder the financial burden of harboring imperiled species.
The basic unfairness of the Endangered Species Act is readily apparent to most. "If I'm a landowner and someone is running a highway through my land, I may not like it, but at least I'm being compensated for it," according to William Ruckelshaus, the first administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, in a radio interview. "If I'm forced to put buffers alongside streams that run through my land in order to protect [endangered] salmon, sometimes those buffers take a significant amount of my land, and I think they should be compensated for that. If that's a public good and it's being asserted against a private property owner, then why shouldn't the public pay for it the same way they do with a highway? But we don't."
Frustration over the federal government's refusal to compensate landowners for costs incurred harboring Utah prairie dogs, and to remove prairie dogs that are desecrating graveyards and making playgrounds unsafe for kids, has led the Lamoreauxs and other property owners in southern Utah to sue the federal government. Represented by Jonathan Wood of the Pacific Legal Foundation, these landowners, who formed the appropriately-named People for the Ethical Treatment of Property Owners (PETPO), argue that because the Utah prairie dog exists only in one state and is not involved in any interstate commerce, the federal government cannot assert authority over it by using the Constitution's Commerce Clause, which gives Congress the power "to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes."
Last November, PETPO won their case in federal district court in Utah, a ruling that is currently under appeal to the Tenth Circuit Court. Some states are so fed-up with the Endangered Species Act that nine have filed a brief in support of PETPO; Utah, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming.
In addition to the important Constitutional questions at stake in the Utah prairie dog case, is that the Endangered Species Act is a lousy way to conserve the very species it's supposed to help. According to a 2007 scholarly survey of landowners in the Utah prairie dog's range, 34 percent have tried to discourage prairie dogs from residing on their land in order to avoid the Act's regulations. Furthermore, 70 percent of landowners stated that their fear of the Endangered Species Act's regulations "hindered their willingness to receive aid or assistance" to conserve the prairie dog.
Another key aspect of the 2007 survey assessed landowners' preferences for working with various groups to address problems caused by prairie dogs. About half of landowners were very willing to work with the Utah Farm Bureau and the Utah State University Extension, one of the agriculture and natural resource departments and services located in many U.S. state universities that typically provide technical education and advice for landowners. Those very willing dropped to 19-28 percent for federal and state land and wildlife regulatory agencies, and bottomed-out at 10 percent for The Nature Conservancy and Environmental Defense Fund, two groups involved in helping the federal government implement prairie dog regulations.
The sad thing is that most landowners, such as those in southern Utah harboring prairie dogs, would be willing to help conserve endangered species were it not for the Endangered Species Act's penalty-based approach. "The fear generated by ESA regulation is a poor motivator for species conservation on private lands," the 2007 study concludes. "Rather, incentive based approaches that consider the needs of landowners are more likely to result in species conservation over the long term."
The study is based on the PhD research of Dwayne Elmore, who is currently a professor in the Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management at Oklahoma State University. "Cooperative Extension is an ideal facilitator for volatile wildlife issues such as endangered species management on private lands," according to Elmore. "Often, lack of trust in government agencies or fear of Endangered Species Act regulations hinders conservation efforts on these private lands. Extension personnel have close ties to local affected communities and thus can be instrumental in educating landowners regarding options that may be available to them in regards to sensitive, candidate, threatened, or endangered species."
Unfortunately, the refusal of the Endangered Species Act's proponents in the federal government and non-profit pressure groups to chart a more productive approach to conserve imperiled species predictably results in backlash, distrust and even landowners in southern Utah feeling they have no recourse but to sue the federal government to recover use of their lands, protect their communities and preserve their dignity. After ignoring landowners' concerns for decades, proponents of the Endangered Species Act are now facing the prospect of hundreds of species losing protection under the Act if the Utah prairie dog lawsuit is ultimately successful.
Yet as the work of Dwayne Elmore and his colleagues strongly suggests, much of this was entirely avoidable but for a bad law and overreach by the federal government and pressure groups — the combination of which has likely done more harm than good to the Utah prairie dog. The November court decision spurred Utah to take the lead on prairie dog conservation, including finalizing a new conservation plan that is much more sensitive to landowners' concerns. "In fact we think the plan will speed the recovery of the species," states Kevin Bunnell of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.
There is a widespread view that the Endangered Species Act's penalties, or the threat of them if a species were to be listed, are necessary to spur action to conserve species. But as the Utah prairie dog shows, the Act's penalties are counterproductive, and the lack of penalties forces regulatory agencies to engage in the type of open, honest, landowner-friendly, cooperative conservation that is ultimately more successful and sustainable. The Utah prairie dog and so many other species could have much brighter futures were it not for the Endangered Species Act.

New Word #32: Humor
haoyando ESL, vocabulary June 15, 2021 2 Minutes
I've been complained about the sheer number of English words for a long time, especially when a lot of words can be used to describe one thing, each representing a slightly different shade of it, the subtlety of which can be easily detectable by native speakers but often escape notice from everybody else. However when it comes to words about humor and comedy, I don't mind. The more the merrier. And English certainly has a lot of words about humor and comedy. I only compiled a portion of it and I'm sure there are a lot more.
burlesque: an absurd or comically exaggerated imitation of something, especially in a literary or dramatic work; a parody.
parody: an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect.
sarcasm: the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.
satire: the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
one-liner: a short joke or witty remark.
repartee: conversation or speech characterized by quick, witty comments or replies.
banter: the playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks.
self-deprecating: (adjective) modest about or critical of oneself, especially humorously so.
caricature: an absurd or comically exaggerated imitation of something, especially in a literary or dramatic work; a parody.
dry humor: the deliberate display of emotional neutrality or no emotion, commonly as a form of comedic delivery.
slapstick: a comedy based on deliberately clumsy actions and humorously embarrassing events.
vaudeville: a type of entertainment popular chiefly in the US in the early 20th century, featuring a mixture of specialty acts such as burlesque comedy and song and dance.
sketch comedy: a series of short scenes or vignettes, called "sketches", commonly between one and ten minutes long.
dark (or morbid) comedy: a play, movie, etc., having elements of comedy and tragedy, often involving gloomy or morbid satire
tragicomedy: a play or novel containing elements of both comedy and tragedy.
stand-up comedy: a comedy performance and narrative craft whereby a comedian communicates to a live audience, speaking directly to them through a microphone.
farce: a comic dramatic work using buffoonery and horseplay and typically including crude characterization and ludicrously improbable situations.
risque comedy: a comedy slightly indecent and liable to shock.
comedy duo: two comedians perform together as a single act. Pairings are typically long-term, in some cases for the artists' entire careers.
Ventriloquism: 1 : the production of the voice in such a way that the sound seems to come from a source other than the vocal organs of the speaker. 2 : the expression of one's views and attitudes through another especially : such expression by a writer through a fictional character or literary persona.

Love this topic. Just for kicks, I'll include a poem about just this subject I wrote recently.
And if interested, see my website for some of my humor (and other) writing. http://www.boblorentson.com
TOO MANY WORDS
There's too many words in the world today,
Just say what you mean, let the rest go away,
Or you'll risk being tedious, sterile or weary,
Or pedestrian, boring, prosaic, or dreary,
With words that are hackneyed, jejune, or lack bite,
Or humdrum or vapid, or common or trite,
Or monotonous, colorless, dismal or pale,
Conventional, usual, insipid or stale,
Uninteresting, tiring, repetitious or flat,
Uninspiring, lifeless, familiar or pat,
Ordinary, average, vanilla or plain,
Customary, typical, stock or mundane,
Well-worn or redundant, soporific or tame,
Or bland, and otherwise all mean the same.
So at the risk of appearing banal or routine,
Please only use words that say what you mean.
Thank you for a word poem. It is marvelous.
Danny Whack! says:
I too love to dabble on tomfoolery.
Wow, love the word tomfoolery. Wonder where I saw this word first. It is in a play probably. My memory is gone. Where is it?
Who knows. When memories, best to let them go and wish them a good journey.
LOL. Many of them end up in trash deservedly, but there are some that will haunt us or even plague us to death.
Treat those memories like a guest and welcome them. Then see what happens 😛
LOL. You are right. Change the attitude and stop the haunting quality of nostalgia. Sometimes a little reverse psychology works wonders.
Mr. Ohh's Sideways View says:
For comedy I choose Outrageous and Over the top But then again You've read my stuff It tends to be Out There somewhere
Laugh, nobody's got a patent on it yet
LOL. Yes, outrageous sounds a great word in the crowd of humor words. I totally agree with you.
😊😍😜
Thay Paul's notes says:
Humour is really 'lost in translation' – even the most fluent people fail to appreciate British humour (especially mine !)
That's very true. Humor is like food, each person having his own taste. One person's humor can be another's non-humor. LOL.
they don't all mean the same thing, they are all types of humor.
Yes, they mean different things and have to be used discreetly. LOL.
colinmcqueen says:
And you haven't included my own comedy speciality, e.g. unfunny!
I must have missed it. What is your comedy specialty?
You are not alone! Nobody knows.
My friends often tell me that I can't tell a joke. LOL.
Herb says:
Very good. And remember, time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
LOL. That's funny.

If your reading habits are anything like mine, you have seen more than a few articles on how CEOs will be firing their CMOs, how marketing has become the new make-or-break department in a company, or how the CMO and the CTO need to be joined at the hip.
The big idea usually comes from the consumer.
Every path to purchase starts with a smartphone, but where it ends is up to you.
In the new retail world, data has a much more expansive definition than it ever has. Data today is both a fuel and a byproduct; it both drives consumer engagement initiatives and serves as the evidence left behind of whether those initiatives were successful.
Expanding the definition of data makes it more useful to the organization. Often times data is content cleverly disguised. Individual data points are inert but when combined with others – especially those from outside sources like retailers or media outlets – data becomes a very powerful catalyst for action. Like changes in product design, or new messaging approaches, or a significant pivot away from one direction.
Marketing leadership needs to not just recognize this but force action to make data the new fuel of the company's marketing efforts.
For some, perhaps, this is the hardest reality to accept. The CMO historically is the driver of "the big idea" off of which the entire year's campaigns and other promotional efforts hang. The framework that supported "the big idea" served as the pathway the consumer was expected to take to make purchase decisions.
Mobile completely shifted this balance of control. By providing immediate access to pretty much the entire world, consumers are able to find their own ways to satisfy their needs, in so doing completely ignoring any framework or pathway that doesn't suit them.
Today's successful marketing leader understands that shoppers finding their own new, preferred ways of doing things presents new opportunities for serving and engaging with consumers. Instead of hunkering down with the agency to find the big idea, marketing must drive building direct connections with consumers to see and hear how they engage with the brand.
Being in on the interactions between consumers and the brand – as well as between consumers and each other about the brand – is where the big ideas are born today.
Forcing behavioral change is hard. Better to ride the momentum of naturally occurring behavior and then offer inputs that make for a more fulfilling brand experience. For consumers in Tier 1, 2 and 3 markets there is no more powerful behavior than the near-constant use of the smartphone.
The departure from the past for marketers today is found in how brands used to communicate. The channels that brands crowded into to reach consumers were valued according to the limitations of time and place: NBC Thursday nights, Vogue September issue, morning drive time radio. Even during the pre-mobile days of the Internet, e-commerce was an activity that was tethered to a specific place (seated in front of a screen) which therefore had specific time limitations as people tended to do their day's surfing at one time or between specific times.
Pervasive internet connectivity and the multi-function power of a smartphone has killed the notion of containing consumers in a specific time or place to receive a call to action. Thus, identifying the exact moment when a path to purchase is initiated is impossible to predict, but it always starts with the smartphone: an SMS to a spouse to pick up milk on the way home; a Facebook post about water moccasins for kids; a Google search for "Starbucks near my location"; a friend's Instagram post about a vacation that triggers a visit to "delta.com". If anyone on the marketing team simply mines his or her own quotidian experience, the examples would run for pages.
How this manifests itself for a brand depends on the brand and its offer. In a retail and commercial environment where simply buying media is not a solution, marketing needs to provide an opportunity and a reason for a consumer to make the brand part of his/her normal behavior. Getting this right is the media buy of the decade: right place, right audience, right time, every time.
The new attention focused on the CMO — and the marketing team in general — seems to be driven by one thing: consumer behavior is continually evolving and at a pace far faster than ever and the typical organization realizes it's not keeping up.
The successful marketer rallies the team around the three new influences of data being at the center, of the big idea coming from outside, and the path to purchase starting with the smartphone.
Traditional marketers decry the lack of loyalty brought on by mobile connectivity, but smart marketing leaders see consumer promiscuity as an opportunity to reconsider traditional approaches, and perhaps not swing for the fences every time: Sometimes the big idea is really a series of small ideas — from both outside and within the organization — that can be rolled up into a single new, breakthrough experience.
For a brand to survive in this commerce environment, it must be understood that while the marketing team reports results to the CEO and the board, the brand itself exists at the pleasure of the consumer. Marketers need to adjust their collective focus accordingly.


On Friday June 15th the Sun West Distance Learning Centre organized an event called Fun in the Sun for all home-based and Kenaston School students in grades K-12. It was as an opportunity to meet many of our home-based students face-to-face, and provide collaborative learning experiences for both distance and Kenaston School students. We had home-based students travel from all over the province to meet their teachers and experience interactive and new learning opportunities.
Thank you Kenaston School SLT for letting us use your space and materials! Your support was greatly appreciated! Thank you Riverbend Co-op Ltd.for sponsoring the BBQ, providing burgers, juice and chips, and involving us in your random acts of kindness initiative. You are an amazing organization, and Florence Greke and her team made the day extra special! Thank you Affinity CU for donating $300.00 towards educational supplies and materials for the day!

Thank you Kenaston School for donating a $500.00 canoe to our pool for the kids to use and enjoy for years to come! Thanks to the staff at the Kenaston School and DLC! You took time out of your day to share your unique and special talents with our students!
Your excitement and love for teaching created an exceptional learning experience!


After I had my first epiphany in Thailand, being changed by Buddhist ideas, I thought for a while that philosophy was the key to a good and happy life – that what we really needed to live well was to understand and think about the big questions of life. I see that attitude now as a young man's naïve enthusiasm. As I read more Hegel, I'm particularly struck by how little guidance there is in there for living well. Living well requires reflection, yes, but above all the kind of reflection that comes out of practice. And I don't primarily mean the meditation and meditation-like practices to which Yavanayāna Buddhists so often reduce the idea of "practice", but the likes of therapy, exercise, and the very fact of going through daily life and learning from one's experience and mistakes.

"I arrived at L'Acanto after having studied Italian for about two years on my own, and although I had a reasonable grasp of the main body of basic Italian grammar and was able read most texts reasonably comfortably, my ability to speak Italian lagged far behind. The school's director was able to come up with a program that addressed this deficiency, combining many hours of intensive conversation practice with a fascinating insight into the life and culture of this little known part of Italy.
Mesagne is a charming, unaffected town with a lovely historic centre (where the school is situated) and none of the preciousness one encounters in the more famous tourist destinations. And the range of fascinating places to visit in the region is endless."


I am hopeful the following will help someone scratch their head a little less in trying to understand the info returned by zfs.
I set up a pool using 4 2TB SATA disks.
RAIDZ2 is like RAID6 and it uses two disks for parity. Thus, I would expect to have ~4TB or 3.63TiB of available space. I haven't been able to find this number displayed anywhere.
However, you can find the amount of disk space still available using the following command.
If we add the two numbers here, 1.21T + 2.19T = 3.4T.
If you have linux boxes that authenticate over ldap but want logins for specific boxes to be restricted to a particular group, there is a simple way to achieve this.
I figured this out the other day from idle curiosity. There is occassionally the need to have a never ending loop to be executed directly from the bash commandline instead of writing a script.
I used this to run sl (yes sl, not ls – try it – I love it) repeatedly.
Bear in mind that this loop is infinite and there is no way to cancel out of it except to kill of the terminal.
Once you have set up a glusterfs volume, you might want to expand the volume to add storage. This is an astoundingly easy task.
The first thing that you'll want to do is to add in bricks. Bricks are similar to physical volumes a la LVM. The thing to bear in mind is that depending on what type of cluster you have (replicated / striped), you will need to add a certain number of blocks at a time.
Once you have a initialised the nodes, to add in a set of bricks, you need the following command which adds two more bricks to a cluster which keeps two replicas.
Once you have done this, you will need to rebalance the cluster, which involves redistributing the files across all the bricks. There are two steps to this process, the "fixing" of the layout changes and the rebalancing of the data itself. You can perform both tasks together.
As mentioned earlier, we have been considered networked filesystems instead of NFS to introduce into a number of complex environments. OCFS2 was one of the first candidates.
In fact, we also considered GFS2 but looking around on the net, there seemed to be a general consensus recommending ocfs2 over gfs2.
Ubuntu makes it pretty easy to install and manage ocfs2 clusters. You just need to install ocfs2-tools and ocfs2console. You can then use the console to manage the cluster.
What I totally missed in all of my research and understanding, and due to lack of in depth knowledge on clustered filesystems was that OCFS2 (and GFS2 for that matter) are shared disk file systems.
Playing Skyrim the last week, sometimes I just missed Linux so terribly that I wanted a piece of it and not just the command line version. I wanted X Windows on my Windows 7.
There has been a solution for this for several years and the first time I did this, I installed cygwin with X11 but there is a far simpler way to accomplish this.
Install XMing. I then used putty, which has the forward X11 option. Once logged in, running xeyes shows the window exported onto my Windows 7. Ah.. so much better.
I actually used this to run terminator to connect to a number of servers. Over local LAN, the windows didn't have any perceptible lag or delay. It was more or less like running it locally.
It is possible to set up shortcuts to run an application through putty and have it exported to your desktop. I haven't played with this enough to comment though.
This of course only worked because I have another box which is running Linux. If that is not the case for you, then you might want to try VirtualBox but since the linux kernel developers have described the kernel modules as tainted crap, you might want to consider vmware instead which is an excellent product.

BCCI starts sacking India Cements employees
The BCCI parted ways with its employees who are also on the rolls of India Cements or its associate companies.
While the Indian cricket board had called back team logistic manager M A Satheesh, who was in Bangladesh for the T20 World Cup for his India Cements connections, now IPL chief financial officer Prasanna Kannan has been removed from the BCCI fold.
Others told to step aside till the Supreme Court's final orders in the case were P S Raman, a former Tamil Nadu public prosecutor and vice-president of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) who is also Srinivasan's lawyer and a legal consultant for the TNCA and BCCI; TNCA honorary secretary and member of several BCCI committees K S Viswanathan, who is a close aide of Srinivasan; and TNCA honorary secretary R I Palani, who is in the Indian board's Zonal Academies Committee.
The Supreme Court had asked the BCCI to weed out the India Cements employees within its ranks. N Srinivasan, who owns India Cements and IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings, had resigned as BCCI president as the court saw him as a hurdle in a free and fair probe of the IPL corruption scandal.
BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel told The Indian Express, "We have implemented whatever the court asked us. Those who are with India Cements and with BCCI have been asked to stay away BCCI work."
However, players and commentators employed with India Cements can still be part of the BCCI as they have been exempted by the court. India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni himself is a vice-president of India Cements. The company also has Rahul Dravid on board.

Home Top News Cancellation of two mega events deals further blow to Hong Kong trade
Cancellation of two mega events deals further blow to Hong Kong trade
By Prudence Lui
/ Posted on 7 October, 2019 11:27
Two mega lifestyle events set to take place in Hong Kong later this month have been cancelled in light of the safety risk posed by ongoing anti-government protests, further shaking visitors' confidence in the city and dealing another blow to travel operators and suppliers.
The cancellation of the annual Hong Kong Cyclothon and Wine & Dine Festival, both organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), will see a total of three major events called off in the city since protests started in June over the now-shelved extradition bill.
The annual Hong Kong Cyclothon and Wine & Dine Festival have been cancelled; Wine & Dine Festival 2018 pictured
The Cyclothon race that was slated to take place on October 13 was expected to draw about 10,000 participants, while the Wine & Dine event was projected to attract a 140,000-strong crowd, according to the South China Morning Post.
Holiday Inn Golden Miles' general manager Gerhard Aicher said: "These are big and popular events for Hong Kong and our industry. We are sad to see that these events have been cancelled which will affect businesses negatively as both events enjoy huge popularity among local residents and visitors. However, with the current unrest, the safety of the participants, exhibitors and staff members are more important and take priority."
Gray Line Tours' managing director Michael Wu also expressed dismay over the cancellation of the international events, as they are a major draw for tourists to visit the city. "Without them, they have no reason to come. Indeed, security is a priority for travellers, as safety, which was once our cornerstone, has been shaken up now. I personally believe outdoor events are riskier than indoor ones as it's not easy to control and protect stakeholders in an extensive venue."
According to W Travel's managing director Wing Wong, these two mega-events draw incentive groups from South-east Asia and the cancellation would send a negative message to international travellers that it is not safe to visit the city. "Though (the cancellation of the events is) a big setback, the trade understands their (safety) concerns. It's not just visitors – I also heard that some overseas exhibitors are hesitant to come as well," he said.
He added: "The newly-introduced anti-mask law would help alleviate the disruption as it stops a certain number of protesters from going to unlawful assemblies and causing disruption."
Sincere International Travel Service's managing director Charles Ng echoed a similar sentiment. "It's a pity that the city lost a big business opportunity and we are heartbroken to see a series of incidents which ultimately have had a chain effect on other industries. We fully understand tourists' worries and the enforcement of the anti-mask law last weekend is a good move (that will ensure greater security)," he said.
Despite the overall sentiment of disappointment, Travel Industry Council's executive director Alice Chan pointed out that the majority of the traders understood and support the decision. "The risk of holding outdoor events of such a (massive) scale is too big, given the current situation. The major blow (to the tourism industry) was brought on by the violent protests, not the cancellations. The travel trade's biggest concern is when the protests will end," she said.
"It is a great pity that the two mega events had to be cancelled, although they would not be able to draw that many visitors under the current circumstances. The HKTB's decision is a prudent and wise one, given the scale and venue of the two events. Nevertheless, it is important that the cancellations should not be perceived as Hong Kong being unsafe for all types of events and activities."
Last Saturday, it was also announced that the venue of the 2020 Hong Kong Formula E-Prix would be switched to Marrakesh in Morocco.
On Friday, Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam invoked an emergency law that banned protesters from wearing face masks, in a drastic move to stem escalating violence within the city in recent weeks. It is the first time the Emergency Regulations Ordinance has been invoked in 52 years.
In defiance of the anti-mask law, however, several thousand Hong Kong protesters went on a violent rampage on Saturday, bringing the city to a standstill as subway services were suspended and shopping malls were shut down, reported various media outlets.

Cobb strengthens Asian technical service team
To better meet the growing needs of the poultry industry in Asia-Pacific, Cobb Asia today announced two new hires on the Technical Service Team.
Company/products Hardware Equipment & innovation
22 November 2019, at 3:52pm
Dr Youngho Hong
These new appointments will allow Cobb Asia to continue offering unparalleled technical service for customers on an even larger scale.
• Dr Youngho Hong joins Cobb Asia as technical services director, taking over for Dr. Orlando Fernandez, who will retire next month. Dr. Hong brings 20 years of experience to the position, previously serving as regional technical service veterinarian for a poultry genetics company and as lead veterinarian and director of grandparent and parent stock operations, hatcheries and the veterinary lab at Sam Hwa GPS Breeding Agri. Inc. in Korea. Dr. Hong graduated from Konkuk University's College of Veterinary Medicine in Korea where he also received his Master of Science. He resides in South Korea and reports to Mohammad Ismail, senior director of key accounts for Cobb Asia.
Jackson Wu
• Jackson Wu joins Cobb China as senior technical service manager. Mr Wu brings nearly 25 years of experience to the role with positions in a variety of fields - from production to technical management to sales. He began his career in the poultry industry in 1995 after graduating from Beijing Agriculture University with a degree in animal science. Wu resides in Beijing, China, and reports to Fred Kao, managing director of Cobb Asia.
"I am thrilled to have Dr Hong lead our Technical Service Team in Asia," said Ismail. "His knowledge about the poultry industry and customer service is unequaled, and he is a remarkable fit for our business here in Asia."
Dr Hong will fill the shoes of Dr Fernandez, who served as a Cobb Asia team member for nearly 20 years. He started with Cobb in 2001 as a technical service manager and was later promoted to director of technical service. In these positions he built close relationships with customers throughout the region and earned the respect on many in the industry.
"Dr Fernandez played a vital role in the growth of the region, and we are forever grateful for his contributions to the team and our company," added Ismail.
One of largest markets in the region - China - saw the need for additional seasoned technical service support. Wu's position was created to fill this need where he will provide customers with the most up-to-date recommendations across all aspects of poultry production and processing.
"Jackson Wu has a robust technical background in service solutions and collaboration with key customers - both in and outside of China," said Kao. "I am confident that he will be an invaluable asset to the China team."
Dr Hong and Mr Wu join a team of 14 technical advisors who provide support and expertise to customers across the region. In total, the technical team now has well over 200 years' combined experience in the industry.

We make our own partial dentures!
These partial dentures are a great option for patients who have sturdy teeth and want a good, long term solution.
The metal framework with pink acrylic clasps onto teeth, helping it stay in place! The metal is made out of vitallium and only premium denture teethare used. It really is a great option and our patients love them!
Flexible partials are durable, esthetic and strong. They look more natural and stay in place better than our bulkier acrylic partial dentures. Our patients love them because they blend in with the natural tissues of their mouth and they are by far our thinnest option. They're virtually unbreakable.
Acrylic partial dentures aka 'flippers' are made with high quality acrylic and include natural looking teeth. We use these partials when extracting teeth (oral surgery) or budget is a big concern. They are bulkier than our other options but their price simply can't be beat!
Or fill out the form below and we'll be with you as soon as possible!

Ned Batchelder: AppleScripting Windows drives on Mac OS X?
AppleScripting Windows drives on Mac OS X?
Today I've been hacking AppleScript to make it easier for my wife to back up her work from her Mac to our Windows box. Despite all the English-like syntax, I managed to make a new folder on the Windows drive with the date in the name, and copy her important folder into it. But I'm stumped on how to get the Windows drive connected in the first place.
set target of Finder window 1 to item "Network"
set target of Finder window 1 to disk "C"
set target of Finder window 1 to folder "sue" of disk "C"
I'm willing to leave aside the odd repetitive nature of these lines (why does line 2 redo what was done on line 1?) When I run this code while the network drive is already connected, it works fine. But if I run it when the drive is disconnected (which is when I need it), it fails at the third line, which is just where the UI pops up a box title "SMB Mount".
Does anyone know how to do this? Searching Google is proving fruitless. Help!
On OS X, due to it's unix heritage, remote SMB drives need to be mounted using mount_smbfs before the finder layer can see it. Take a look at man mount_smbfs.
though I couldn't find any mention of the command in the Finder applescript dictionary!


Palatal Expander Park Ridge IL | Peterson Orthodontics, Ltd.
Meet Dr. Robert M. Peterson Jr.
The palatal expander "expands" (or widens) your upper jaw by putting gentle pressure on your upper molars each time an adjustment is made. The animation below will instruct you about when and how to adjust your expander. When you achieve the desired expansion, you will wear the appliance for several months to solidify the expansion and to prevent regression.
You can also download these instructions in a printable PDF document.
In a well-lit area, tip the patient's head back.
Place the key in the hole until it is firmly in place.
Push the key toward the back of the mouth. You will notice the fender will rotate and the new hole will appear. The rotation stops when the key meets the back of the expander.
Press back and down toward the tongue to remove the key. The next hole for insertion of the key should now be visible.

Q: Angular JS - Filter based on number it contains I am new to angular js.
I have array like:
$scope.experience_list = ['6-7','0-1','4-5','2-3','8-10','10+', 'na'];

I am getting this array from ajax call. So value of array will come in any order.
I am using ng-repeat to display this array

   Unknown {{experience}} years

It is giving me result as
0-1 years
10+ years
2-3 years
4-5 years
6-7 years
8-10 years
Unknown

But I want as:
0-1 years
2-3 years
4-5 years
6-7 years
8-10 years
10+ years
Unknown

Any suggestion or help will be appreciated.

A: TRY THIS :

A: if you want to perform any function just call the function by passing $index in it. And using $index extract the value from the array in the function.

   Unknown {{experience}} years

A: If you just do this
ng-repeat="experience in experience_list track by $index"

You're getting right output
Here's one more approach
var a = ['0-1','2-3','4-5','6-7','8-10','10+', 'na']
$scope.experience_list = a.map(function(obj){
    return{
        order : obj.split('-')[0] || obj,
        real : obj
    };
});

html

      Unknown {{experience.real}} years

Just try to use the same format when to delete and push new values

A: I found solution. It helped me. No need to create custom filter for it.
for more info Intl.Collator
Just sort it,
$scope.experience_list = ['6-7','0-1','4-5','2-3','8-10','10+', 'na'];
var collator = new Intl.Collator(undefined, {numeric: true, sensitivity: 'base'});
$scope.experience_list.sort(collator.compare);

John McEntire
Joshua Klein
Chicago has one of the most vibrant music communities in the world, and at the heart of it lies John McEntire. His numerous projects–The Sea And Cake and Tortoise are two of the most prominent–have made him a first-call international musician, producer, and remixer for groups and players as varied as Stereolab, Gastr del Sol, Eleventh Dream Day, Trans Am, Coldcut, Richard Buckner, and Tom Ze, among others. No doubt attracted by McEntire's atmospheric production techniques, Hollywood not long ago approached him to record the soundtrack to a John Hughes-produced film, the long-delayed and barely released Reach The Rock. A recent album of McEntire's music from the film attracted far more attention than Reach The Rock itself, but he's already moved on to other projects. The Onion recently pried some information from the low-key studio mastermind.
The Onion: Was scoring a film just an opportunity you couldn't pass up? Had you received any offers before?
John McEntire: No. It seemed like a chance to do something I had never really done before, so I couldn't pass it up.
O: What if it were a Pauly Shore movie? Would you have still done it?
JM: [Laughs.] I don't know. That might require a little more thought.
O: Did you ever imagine that the music being made in Chicago in the past several years would suddenly become prominent internationally? The stuff you do gets ripped off all over the place.
JM: I don't know. Maybe I'm not so in touch with what's going on, but I don't see that too much. Do you?
O: It's hard to say. I mean, you have your finger in so many pies—there are so many bands in the Chicago circle that aren't actually from Chicago—that it's hard to put all the pieces together. But the European response to groups like Tortoise has been pretty phenomenal, compared to Tortoise's effect on the average Chicago band.
JM: Right. We're all, I think, very surprised by that.
O: A lot of the bands you're associated with seemed to pop up around the same time. When did you start playing out with Tortoise and The Sea And Cake? Was that 1993?
JM: Yeah. That was when it finally came together. We had been working together probably since '91, but not very seriously, or at least not full-time. So it was probably '93 when it started to get pretty active.
O: But a lot of the Chicago musicians had been playing together for a while, too, right? You played in Bastro [with David Grubbs]. You also went to Oberlin, and so did Sooyoung Park [of Seam] and Liz Phair.
JM: Yeah, I played in Seam for a little while.
O: And My Dad Is Dead, right? Was that from going to school in Ohio?
JM: Yeah. That was a long time ago.
O: Do you ever look back at all you've accomplished so far and think about how well it's all come together?
JM: Yeah, I guess. I don't really think about it too much in that kind of way. But it's interesting, I suppose. [Laughs.]
O: Well, it's probably more interesting when you look at it as this big musical map that intersects at many points. Didn't you go to high school with Eric Matthews? I heard there's friendly rivalry between the two of you.
JM: No, I wouldn't say that.
O: Well, I also heard that you were a high-school McDonald's marching drum champion.
JM: [Sighs.] Yeah, I did that.
O: Are there any pictures of you in a marching-band uniform?
JM: Not that you'll ever see! Or anyone else, for that matter.
O: Do you still have fun when you're playing live?
JM: [enthusiastically] Oh, yeah.
O: It's hard to tell sometimes. Although I once saw you pump your fist at a Tortoise show.
JM: Pump my fist?
O: Yeah. You were playing keyboards, and you pumped your fist. As in, "Yeah!" Maybe you were caught up in the moment.
JM: That's insane. I don't remember doing that.
O: I wish I had a photo. I could trade it to you for one of those marching-outfit pictures. But that was one of the few times I've seen you play where it actually looked like you were having fun with Tortoise. Otherwise, it's like, I don't know, watching a jazz recital.
JM: No! No, it's not that serious, is it? Didn't you see the stupid thing we did [on tour], where we had those matching white suits on?
O: Doing a little Kraftwerk thing?
JM: It was more Devo. We're not that serious. I guess we're just not very… emotive on stage, or whatever you want to call it.
O: You don't smash your instruments.
JM: No.
O: Because you're a relatively hands-on producer, in the sense that you can be identified by the sound of the recording, do you have any preferences in terms of recording your own music versus recording the music of someone else? It always seems like a collaboration regardless of who you're working with.
JM: Well, it doesn't always have to be that way. If someone just wants me to engineer a record for them and not do anything above and beyond that, I'm perfectly happy to do that, as well.
O: But how often has that been happening recently?
JM: I haven't been doing a lot of engineering or production, just because I was on tour all of last year. But hopefully I'll get back into doing it a bit more this year.
O: What do you have slated for this year?
JM: I'm going to mix some of the High Llamas album, probably in the spring. I'll be mixing The For Carnation. That's about it at the moment. I'm going to be building my studio over the next couple of months. That's my main thing.
O: Were you surprised that a record as solid as TNT [Tortoise's most recent album] was met with something close to a backlash?
JM: It doesn't really surprise me. I mean, it's not an easy record to just sit down and listen to. I'm certainly not trying to blow my own horn or anything, but I think it demands a certain amount of attention. There's a lot going on within it. I think another thing that put so many people off is that it's so long and there's so much detail in there. There's a lot to take in one sitting.
O: I think it's much more cohesive than Millions Now Living Will Never Die.
JM: Oh, I agree completely.
O: A lot of people consider Millions Now Living the be all and end all, like things couldn't go beyond that.
JM: Yeah, I thought that was quite strange, because to me that record always felt like it was really rushed and put together hastily. And the fact that some people cling to it as some sort of template is sort of weird. I don't really understand that way of thinking. Whatever.
O: Will it be a while before the next Tortoise or Sea And Cake record?
JM: We'll probably start working on new stuff this spring, I guess. But I don't think anything new will come out until the end of the year. But Sam [Prekop] has an album out that's great.
O: It's sort of perverse that you just play maracas on it.
JM: [Laughs.] I was gone the whole time he was making it, except at the very end. They needed some percussion, and Chad [Taylor] wasn't in town, so I was very happy to do that. I think it's quite good [that everybody in Chicago plays on each other's records]. It's very interesting, all the different sorts of permutations of personalities that you can get into, and what can result.

Blue Friday - What If This Is All The Love You Ever Get?
From last year's comeback album, Wildness.
After years of not doing any, I've done a lot of cycling recently. More than 2,200 miles in the last ten months, apparently. And I'm not going to lie to you, it has transformed my fitness and general health. In that time I've lost nearly a stone and a half in weight, and my cholesterol level is now so low the nurse had to double check her machine. Not only that, but about 60% of those miles would have been clocked up in the car previously, so I've saved money and reduced my CO2 footprint too.
So far, so smug, right?
It hasn't all been sweetness and light, of course. I've got wet quite a lot, such are the vagaries of the British weather (and the inaccuracies of domestic weather forecasts). There have been three punctures and a broken chain. I came off my bike early in February too, and banged my knee up pretty good. That's still not fully better yet either - one of the joys of getting old, everything takes longer to heal. And I'm currently getting a bit of lower back pain on longer (>25mi) rides. Yet another joy of getting old, I expect.
But on the whole, it's been pretty good. The thing is, brilliant though cycling has been for me, it's not the cycling per sé that's been pushing my buttons, oh no. It's Strava. Or, more specifically, the statistics, segment records, club leaderboards, trophy challenges and personal bests that Strava offers. I should probably confess to being quite competitive (and also to the fact that you can probably remove that "quite" too). Competitive with colleagues who use Strava too, sure, but most of all, competitive with myself: I want a faster time, a personal best, a top-10 segment record, a KOM.
Don't worry, I haven't turned into a MAMIL... but I am thinking of buying a new bike... and I have reviewed the Highway Code for the first time in many a year to check the law about cycle paths. No, I don't have to use one if it's there, it is neither compulsory nor mandated (see rules 61 and 63). If the cycle path is well thought out and benefits the cyclist, I'll use it; if it's a poorly conceived afterthought that inconveniences me and/or is full of detritus that gives me punctures, I won't, simple as that. It's no good you honking your horn or shouting out of your window at me either - I'm a road user, just like you, and have just as much right to be on the road as you.
Sorry, ranting there for a 'sec. Anyway, all of this is all the excuse I need to wheel out (see what I did there?) this spectacular slice of 70s inappropriateness from Queen. On your marks, get set, go!
If you're on Strava, let me know in the comments.
The Big Wizard and Little Wizard are the jokers, by the way. And I should add that the jokers are just regular, traditional jester figures, not depicted as wizards.
So, poker: the simplest but most complicated game in the cultural history of the human being. Who knew?
The obvious choice for today, from the untouchable Colour of Spring.
After yesterday's latest instalment of Brexit shambles, today's front pages make for interesting reading.
A song, then, and a lesson, as true today as it was 40 years ago. "Don't believe it all. Find out for yourself. Check before you spread..."

This Is No Country for Moderate Senators
Source: The Daily Beast
by Matt Lewis
"'There's nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos.' That old political proverb resonates now more than ever, as modern politics seems hellbent on drumming independent thinkers, mavericks, and centrists out of the game and rewarding partisan loyalists. Monday's announcement by Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego that he will challenge Sen. Krysten Sinema for the U.S. Senate in Arizona was the latest shot across the bow — a warning to any Democrat who isn't willing to get in line. But a car can hit you going either direction, and in West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin faces a threat barreling down the road from the right." (01/24/23)

Dance Hall at Louse Point — первый совместный альбом английских рок-музыкантов Полли Джин Харви и Джона Пэриша, изданный в 1996 году.

Об альбоме
До выхода Dance Hall at Louse Point Полли Джин Харви и Джон Пэриш были знакомы несколько лет. До 1991 года Харви играла на саксофоне и гитаре, а также пела бэк-вокал в группе Пэриша Automatic Dlamini. Джон, в свою очередь, был сопродюсером, гитаристом, ударником и клавишником на альбоме Полли Джин To Bring You My Love, а также гитаристом и клавишником на Is This Desire?.

Поклонниками исполнительницы альбом в основном был принят как незначительный сторонний проект, отчасти из-за использования ею полного имени Полли Джин, вместо всем известного Пи Джей. Как следствие — авангардный Dance Hall at Louse Point не имел особого коммерческого успеха, но получил неплохие отзывы критиков, например Том Синклер из Entertainment Weekly заметил: «Это глубокая музыка во всех смыслах и полное погружение в неё рекомендуется.».

The Meaning of Maggie by Megan Jean Sovern
March 26, 2015 March 26, 2015 BookBirdzLeave a comment
Maggie Mayfield's only purpose in life is to become President of the United States. That means no law breaking (liking watching R-rated movies), no crushes on boys, and only a perfect 4.0 GPA in school. On her 11th birthday, she asked for a stock in Coca-Cola. Her plea was accepted, and she proudly claimed herself, "Maggie Mayfield, member of a carbonated dynasty!" Impressive, huh? But suddenly, birthday's are thrown pitilessly to the back of Maggie's information-stuffed brain, for her dad's medical condition is growing worse. He quit his job, and his legs are falling asleep. Permanently. Maggie's long-standing belief that all of her answers are in books is impossibly twisted, because she now realizes there may be more to life than school and laws and being President. There is no known cure for her dad's illness. Her mom has overworked herself into a "puddle of clothes on the floor," and Maggie herself gets a B on her science project. Life is a disaster! Her "metaphorical bravery tank" is running dangerously low. But as she watches her family struggle with the "new chapter" in their lives, Maggie finally understands that there is nothing else more important than her family, because they are a team. An argumentative, occasionally dishonest, Neil Young loving team.
Turtle in Paradise by Jennifer L. Holm
March 1, 2015 BookBirdz1 Comment
Feisty, spunky Turtle is sent off to live with her Aunt Minnie, in the Key West of Florida. It's steamy, sticky, and scorpions love to lurk in dark places, especially shoes. Turtle struggles with three rowdy cousins, all boys, and all trouble. It is with them that she ventures, on a stolen boat, to a nearby island in search of a famous pirate's treasure. Turtle and the boys soon find themselves hopelessly stranded, hungry, and viciously being attacked by famished mosquitoes. Even Turtle's quick wit and confidence can't help them, but nearby sponging boats might be able to. This book is an excellent portrayal of the old Key West. The Great Depression, heat, and pirate loot, make one engrossing novel for all ages. That Turtle is one tough cookie, and her smart comebacks will surely give you a laugh!

A Schneider Family Book Award winner, The Running Dream is a beautifully woven book, which tells the story and struggles of right leg amputee, Jessica Carlisle. She was a runner, a champion, until an accident strikes that changes her running dreams forever, or so she believes. As Jessica attempts to rebuild her life with a prosthetic limb, she is slowly fading into a fog of self-pity. Stairs are the new enemy, and taking a shower has now become more challenging than running a marathon. And then, suddenly, Jessica is reflecting on her behavior when she meets Rosa, a girl with cerebral palsy who still excels academically, and doesn't let her condition weaken her. Inspired by her new friend and math tutor, Jessica's dream to run again seems much closer than before, especially with the help of modern prosthetic limb technology, and deep determination.

Suspense is an eight letter word. It's definition is a feeling of excited or anxious uncertainty about what may happen. Throughout this book, suspense danced along each word, creating a dramatic and beautiful story. Pi is a sixteen-year-old boy whose father owns an exotic zoo in India, home to a certain Royal Bengal tiger titled (somewhat fittingly), Richard Parker. Alas, it is all about to change for Pi and Richard Parker. On their move to America across the great blue Pacific, their cargo ship carrying hundreds of animals, a crew, and Pi's family, capsizes traumatically. Clinging for life on a 26 foot lifeboat, Pi manages to survive the tragic sinking of the boat, but loses his family in less than 20 minutes. Heart-thumping and simultaneously antagonizing, endeavor to survive with Pi as he drifts across sea in hope of rescue, in company with a giant carnivorous tiger. Yann Martel is viciously descriptive, his imagery will feed and energize the readers as they travel with Pi.
