Camp Cotubic offers Christian summer camps in Ohio for kids and teens. Our summer camp sessions are programmed based on the age group of campers. Youth from second grade through high school are invited to spend a week at our camp where everyone can enjoy a safe, loving environment where long lasting friendships are formed.
Whether it's the first time at camp or the tenth stay with us, campers always leave summer camp longing to return. With so many fun activities, our campers and counselors always have a great time together. In fact, we often hear campers say, "I want to stay all summer" or "That was the best week of my life!" We're proud to say that every summer our bunks are filled with excited campers. Check out our summer camp dates and register for camp today.
When you register before May 1st you get last years prices!
Lake Time with Water Slide, Blob, Water Trampoline, Boats, and more!
Along with the regular summer camp activities of hiking and eating S'mores around a campfire, we give our campers the opportunity to experience Christ every day. Our summer staff leads cabin devotions, prays with students, and engages in spiritual conversations with campers. We also have chapel services with engaging Christian speakers and bands. It is our hope that campers don't just hear about Christ but experience him in a very real, personal way.
We're very picky when hiring summer counselors. After all, they live on site all summer long and stay in cabins with the campers for our own camps. Our counselors must pass background checks and participate in a through two week staff training. After which they can focus on campers and engage in activities and conversations with them. During staff training, our summer counselors share ideas and practice creating the best week of summer camp possible. We hire a staff with diverse personalities to ensure we will relate to your child.
Camper safety and supervision is our biggest priority at Camp Cotubic. Every member on our staff completes FBI and BCI screenings as well as two weeks of staff training and certification. During summer camp, we always have an RN or EMT on site to respond to medical emergencies. We also have a 7:1 camper to summer staff ratio to ensure we have a protective eye on each camper.
Food is served cafeteria style. Every day at summer camp we provide breakfast, lunch, dinner, and often an evening snack. Students also can make purchases at the snack shack, but we take care to ensure campers eat 'real food' and avoid dehydration. If your child has special dietary needs or restrictions, please call us so we can figure out how to best serve your child.
Camp Cotubic is Christian summer camp where students can safely enjoy friendships, participate in exciting activities, and experience Christ. Register for camp today to join the good times at Cotubic!

I'd like to launch containers and have docker forward all interfaces to the container for the dynamic port. It doesn't seem like that is currently supported as ip isn't exposed in the network config and whatever is configuring it is defaulting to the 10.20.x.x network which is reachable from the host but no where else.
I could easily be missing something though.
Nomad uses port binding to expose services running in containers using the port space on the host's interface. For example, Nomad host running on 1.2.3.4 may allocate port 22333 to a task, so you would access that service via 1.2.3.4:22333.
Assign a IP to docker0. This can be done by starting the daemon with a --bip parameter as described in https://docs.docker.com/articles/networking/#docker0 This is independent of nomad.
Use host networking mode. This can be done by passing network_mode=host in the configuration for a nomad task.
Please let me know if I misunderstood.
You can also start docker in non-masquerading mode, turn on routing in the kernel, and then route traffic through the host IP. You'll run into problems if you have more than one docker host however as you'll have to configure each hosts bridge interface to have a different docker0 subnet. It's doable but ugly to scale and you're pretty much doing an end run around nomad for all your networking.
Hmm, I'm not sure if we're all talking about the same thing. I'm not really interested in assigning an IP to the container. I was just want port exposed on all interfaces (or at least the node's public ip) instead of only on the container private IP. I think my original post was misleading.
It appears that when nomad starts the container it finds an IP to apply to it and sets the -p flag as ip:port:port. This is seen in nomad's logs (if log_level="DEBUG" mode is enabled) here.
My understanding is you would have to assign dynamic_ports = ["9000"], this will pass a NOMAD_PORT_9000 environment variable through to the container when it's started. This port will be a random port in the service ports range, nomad is expecting the container to register this port in service discovery somewhere (consul or etcd). You can see which one it is by doing docker ps or docker inspect on the container.
As far as I can tell there is no way to set a 1:1 mapping of, "I want docker to expose this container port as this docker host port," through nomad.
I'm having issues with this working inconsistently in ticket #212 but it seems to work properly if you set the port to ["6379"] instead of ["redis"] as it is in the 'nomad init' example.
This is the job that's being run which has worked well for starting the container and having it map a dynamic port to the port in the container. However it also applies an IP address when I'd rather it use 0.0.0.0 so it's only reachable from the host. nc 10.20.0.167 32755 instead of nc 127.0.0.1 32755 in the docker ps from #209 (comment).
@macb Thanks for the report. We are working out the kinks in networking (some bug fixes have landed in master already), and binding to 127.0.0.1 is not intended.
We bind a task to one interface (ip address), potentially with multiple ports on that IP. The scheduler allows you some control over this so you can select a private or public subnet. Our design does not currently support binding to 0.0.0.0 to bind to all interfaces.
@cbednarski, could you please tell me how can I select private or public subnet for a specific Docker task? I was unable to find this in the docs and thought it is not possible yet.
@skozin We don't support selecting one of many interfaces in Nomad yet. Support for doing that is going to come fairly soon.
@diptanu Thanks for the info. That's the only thing that really prevents us from using Nomad.
We have a cluster of machines, and some of these machines have both public and private interfaces. These two-nic machines run internal services, that need to listen only on private interface, as well as public services, which should listen on public interface.
I really hope that it will be available soon. Currently we're upgrading our infrastructure and we'd really like to give Nomad a try, because it looks very promising.
The ability to listen on all interfaces is also a desirable feature, although not as critical for us as the ability to select one specific interface.
I think the point of this thread that @macb is trying to bring up is that Nomad is incorrectly passing an IP with the dynamic port association to Docker and that IP in some cases is wrong (eth0 vs eth1). You can see that Nomad is passing not only the dynamic port, but also an IP when you do a docker inspect.
Perhaps we need more documentation on how to control NOMAD_IP, I would expect the docker port mapping to match the same address as the bind_addr specified in the nomad client config.
For example, even when bind and advertise are set to a specific IP, the command sent to docker for the port mapping is using another IP.
docker inspect shows me that a HostIp is being passed that differs from the configuration above.
@dontrebootme Did you try setting the network_interface option? This is a client specific option which forces Nomad client to fingerprint a specific network interface and not look at anything else on the host on which the Agent is running. This would make Nomad to always choose this interface. The option takes an interface name.
The bind addr can be different than the network interface that Nomad fingerprints and allocates ports to Tasks.
I can confirm that setting network_interface in my nomad client configuration did it for me.
@diptanu Do you have any updates on this (and #264, which is closely related)? Can I assume that by "fairly soon" you mean 0.3? Should I open separate issue for that use case (selecting specific interface for specific Docker job)?
@diptanu, @cbednarski, I've opened a separate issue #646 for my request; but the proposed solution covers listening on all interfaces as well.
Hi, the IP od dockers services registered in consul shouldn't not select dynamically, inspecting the started docker?

Recorded between 'Zuma' and 'American Stars and Bars' as a solo album in a single session, the resultant performances are truly breathtaking and passionate. The simplicity of a single voice and guitar captured here are as pure and powerful as it gets, with only Young, Briggs and actor Dean Stockwell in the room at the time of recording. A few of the songs would not appear on vinyl until years later. Some have never been heard, included in the original sessions for Neil Young and Crazy Horse's 'Dume', another unreleased record of original sessions that yielded the classic album, 'Zuma'. When the 'Hitchhiker' album was recorded, none of the included songs had ever been released and many of the performances of the songs were the first ever. This is truly an album of original performances.

Mosquito infestation plagues Osijek-Baranja County
Crop duster (Photo: Davor Javorovic/PIXSELL)
The government has vowed to provide 5 million kuna in aid to help bring an unprecedented mosquito infestation in eastern Slavonia under control.
At Wednesday's government cabinet session, Prime Minister Andrej Plenković called upon the Ministry of Health and local Public Health Institutions to do all they could to ensure local residents stay protected from the potentially disease-carrying insects.
The federal funds will in part go towards intensive 'fogging' campaigns by truck and by air that are designed to eliminate mosquitoes from Osijek-Baranja County. Also, special permits are being sought to treat the wetlands of the popular Kopački Rit Nature Park.
Health Minister Milan Kujundžić said the government would provide the financing and organization of the large-scale project. "The technical aspects," he said, "would be handled at the local public health institute level and by the respective counties."
For his part, the prime minister called the move "decisive" and said he expected the local health professionals to take "appropriate action". And, if need be, he said additional funds would be found in order to solve the problem as soon as possible.


In a drive to educate young people on the importance of migratory birds, BirdLife Zimbabwe (BLZ) is running a Spring Alive Drawing competition.
The competition is part of a Bird Awareness Project the organisation has been running for the past ten years aimed at raising awareness on the conservation of birds and biodiversity in schools throughout the country.
To participate in the contest entrants must be under 16 years of age at the date of entry. They must submit a drawing showing how they think that Spring Alive bird species can be helped by humans. The drawing should be on A4 size paper, and three things must appear: name, age and school of participant.
out much. I am hoping to provide something back and help others such as you aided me.

Christopher James Gannon (born 13 May 1969) is a globally recognized figure in the fire service and emergency management industry and a former international footballer.

Early life

He attended Sir Frederic Osborn Secondary School in Welwyn Garden City. Gannon was the founder and first Chief Fire Officer of the Turks and Caicos Islands in the British West Indies and is an adviser on emergency service reform and disaster management to many governments. He later established his own company to improve Fire Departments worldwide.

Professional life
Gannon is a renowned fire, rescue and disaster management expert. He has gained a reputation for reforming and improving emergency organisations in over 40 countries.
Having begun his career in the Fire and Rescue Service in Great Britain, Gannon was later recruited by the British Government (FCO) to conduct a liability assessment of emergency services in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), a UK protectorate in the Caribbean. As a result of the findings, and at just 34 years of age, he was commissioned as the first national Chief Fire Officer with a mandate to design, build and manage fire and rescue services from concept to completion.

He was later given the added responsibility of managing fire services at the 6 national and international airports to ICAO standards.
He was the British Government Fire Service adviser for the UK Overseas Territories between 2002–2009 and formed part of the FCO Disaster Management Review Team. He also gained accreditation from the United Nations (OCHA) as a disaster and emergency management specialist and has responded to many major natural disasters around the world.
After achieving all the set Government objectives in the TCI within 6 years, he was recruited by a private company to do the same for the private, luxury island of Ambergris Cay.

The celebrated U.S publication 'Fire Chief Magazine' published an article on his work in 2008, entitled 'Fires Mercenary' which led to government sponsored reviews in the Caribbean and Latin America. He was decorated for his work in Bolivia by President Evo Morales.

In 2009 he founded 'Gannon Emergency Solutions' with offices in London, the USA and South America and provides specialist Fire Service reviews for Governments, NGO's, private companies and institutions.

Currently Gannon is working with authorities in Thailand to improve emergency preparedness across the country including historic national sites such as Wat Arun in Bangkok.

When asked to describe his methodology, Gannon states; "Unlike most consultants in the industry, I haven't retired from one state or national organization and don't simply repeat what was learned during that career. Clients get someone who brings a unique, basket of global experience and best practice to the table".

In 2019 Gannon led the coordination of international aid in response to the Bolivian Amazonic wildfires https://www.elestadodigital.com/2019/08/28/embajada-britanica-se-solidariza-por-los-incendios-y-brinda-apoyo-con-dos-expertos/
In 2021 he reviewed Emergency Preparedness in the world famous town of Jackson Hole in Teton County https://www.jhnewsandguide.com/the_hole_scroll/report-highlights-fire-ems-shortcomings/article_a8a01c47-2091-53b9-8bd3-e21b21e08eff.html

Gannon regularly speaks and appears at industry events and is a regular contributor to forums and publications https://iffmag.mdmpublishing.com/gannon-emergency-solutions-how-good-is-my-fire-service/

Football career

Club
Gannon was a promising player at schoolboy level, he played in the same Sir Frederic Osborn school team as former England international goalkeeper, David James. He represented both Huntingdonshire and Cambridgeshire at County schools level. Despite being scouted by professional teams, his UK playing career took place in the semi professional divisions of the Isthmian, Jewson and United Counties Leagues. He also latterly played in the Peterborough Premier League winning titles with both Molins FC and Pearl Assurance FC.

International
While working in the Turks and Caicos Islands, Gannon was selected to represent the country as a central defender in their FIFA World Cup qualification campaigns in 2004 and 2008,

An article published by Bloomberg said that the players had to raise finance for their own travel fees for away games. Gannon later stated that the Turks and Caicos Islands FA were 'strongly encouraged' by FIFA and CONCACAF to field an almost entirely expatriate team in World Cup qualifying games to justify receipt of funds from the FIFA "Goal" programme.

On the 11th, the pension department's meeting of the Social Security Council (a consultative body of the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare) of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare formally started the discussion on increasing the eligibility age for payments of welfare pension to 68 - 70 years old in the future, and presented three proposals.
The said ministry aimed at the finalization of the reform bill before the year end.
Regarding the provision of the welfare pension, it would be pulled up to 65 years old. For the men it would be pulled up till the 2025 fiscal year, for the women it would be pulled up gradually until 2030 fiscal year, respectively; and it was already decided to unite it with the basic pension.
But, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, bearing in mind the low birth rate and growth of national life expectancy, further judged that it was necessary to raise the pensionable age so as to stabilize the financing scheme.
It seems that the welfare payment in Japan would be shrinking gradually in the coming years.

Iran nuke deal countries look to future without US
Friday, May 25, 2018, 11:05 By Reuters
VIENNA - Nations that remain in the Iran nuclear deal meet on Friday for the first time since US President Donald Trump left the pact, but diplomats see limited scope to salvage it after Washington vowed to be tougher thanever on Tehran.
British, Chinese, French, German and Russian officials will try to flesh out with Iran's deputy foreign minister a strategy to save the deal by keeping oil and investment flowing, while circumventing US sanctions that risk hurting the economy.
At the heart of Friday's talks, chaired by the European Union, Iranian officials will seek guarantees from the Europeans that they can protect trade. They will also want assurances that all parties will continue to buy Iranian oil
The 2015 accord rests on lifting sanctions and allowing business with Iran in exchange for Tehran curbing its nuclear programme. The deal's proponents say it is crucial to forestalling a nuclear Iran and preventing wider war in the Middle East.
But US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday threatened the Islamic Republic with "the strongest sanctions in history" if it did not change its behaviour in the Middle East.
"Pompeo was like taking a cold shower," said a European diplomat. "We'll try to cling to the deal hoping that there is apossibility of a transaction, but we're under no illusions."
READ MORE: IAEA report says Iran complying with nuclear deal
At the heart of Friday's talks, chaired by the European Union, Iranian officials will seek guarantees from the Europeans that they can protect trade. They will also want assurances that all parties will continue to buy Iranian oil.
Iran's supreme leader set out a series of conditions on Wednesday for Iran to stay in the deal.
"This is a very important meeting that will show whether theother parties are serious about the deal or not," an Iranian official told Reuters. "We will understand whether, as our leader, said, the European can give us reliable guarantees or not."
Highlighting how difficult it will be, the US Treasury announced Thursday more sanctions on several Iranian and Turkish companies and a number of aircraft in a move targeting four Iranian airlines.
Some Western companies have already quit Iran or said they may have to leave because of US sanctions.
Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif said he expected the other signatories to present "a new package" that would be within the boundaries of the agreement, but did not include "any other issues."
Trump denounced the accord, completed under his predecessor Barack Obama, because it did not cover Iran's ballistic missile programme, its role in Middle East conflicts or what happens after the deal begins to expire in 2025.
While European nations share those concerns, they have said that as long as Tehran meets its commitments, they would remainin the deal.
The UN atomic watchdog policing the pact said on Thursday Iran continued to comply with the terms of the deal, but could be faster and more proactive in allowing snap inspections.
"The European desire to remain in the agreement does not, however, detract from the concerns we have with regard to Iran," France's foreign ministry spokeswoman said on Thursday.
"That is why we proposed to establish a comprehensive negotiating framework with Iran. We want Iran to understand the value of a cooperative approach."

On Saturday, September 22, 2018, the December 12th Movement International Secretariat will sponsor a Pan African Zimbabwe Support March and Rally welcoming the newly elected President Emmerson D. Mnangagwa, and the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front party (ZANU PF) to the United Nations General Assembly.
The march and rally will assemble on the corner of 125th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. in Harlem NYC at 12:00PM.
President Mnangagwa and ZANU-PF won an overwhelming victory in the recent free and fair elections by the people of Zimbabwe who continue to be uncompromising in their commitment to Zimbabwe's sovereignty and independence. ZANU PF has established economic development and land redistribution in the interest of the indigenous people and maintain that "Zimbabwe will never be a colony again."
Members of the December 12th were on the ground as an official observer delegation authorized by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission during the recent Zimbabwe Harmonized Elections of the President and Parliament held on July 30, 2018. The principal parties in contention were the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) and the Movement for Democratic Change Alliance (MDC-Alliance).
"The December 12th maintains our support for ZANU PF and the people of Zimbabwe and demand an end to the illegal economic sanctions implemented by the United States Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act (ZDERA) and recent amendment by President Trump which stiffens the undermining of the self determination of Zimbabwe and land reform in Africa," Wareham said.

Will the LeBrondo expereince work out?
Re: Will the LeBrondo expereince work out?
Ball in the mix should be interesting too.
I am guessing no, he will run out of gas as he is getting older every year from now on. No way they beat GS this year. He missed more dunks than I have ever seen him.
Plus no young player has ever developed next to him. he is so ball dominant it will kill their player development.
Your second point is particularly important. All the so-called experts rave about how good LBJ will be for the young guys, but I can't think of any young guy he's helped better his game more than expected.
The last part is just silly. Plenty of young players have developed playing next to him, including the Celtics current PG, who became a lot better once James ended up in Cleveland.
Yeah I agree. I don't think he'll hurt the Lakers Young players. I think they're going to play hard as heck trying to impress him. The Laker's young guys just got out of the prison of suckitude....and will be fired up about that. I think the most underrated aspect of the new Lakers team is Lebron himself. Until we see him look slow old and weak, he's not slow old and weak. Basically I just see a far superior supporting cast to Cleveland's. Kevin Love was it. Lebron's got much more now.
It could go smoothly or it could go terribly. Rondo has a giant ego and butts heads nearly everywhere he goes.
I just don't think they have enough shooting, especially if you play Ball and Rondo together. If you play one of the other, eventually Rondo or Lavar will cause a problem.
Of course Luke will be the first one to get blamed, and he'll get canned.
They will fight for the 6-7-8 seeds and probably get eliminated quickly if they do make it.
All I know is that I feel sorry for the victim(s) that will face The Lakers in the playoffs next season.
Playoff Rondo - even at his current age - is a sight to behold. Ask Isaiah Thomas and BOS during the 2016-17 playoffs.
Mix THAT with Playoff LeBron? And the young and talented core they have right now?
They aren't beating BOSTON anytime soon but they are set to do damage with their current team.
PLEASE, Kyrie - don't let LeBron, Rondo and the Lakers beat us.
well to bitterjim's point it isn't like James has ever really played with any high picks, other than Irving and Thompson who both developed a ton while he was there. More recently Cedi Osman, looked awful good playing with James last year as a rookie. Mario Chalmers had a decade long career because he was blessed to play and grow under James. Anderson Varejao, Sasha Pavlovic, Boobie Gibson, etc. all seemed to develop fine playing in James' shadow (though James was fairly young himself with all those guys). JJ Hickson came along later in James' first stint in Cleveland and did just fine in the growth department. Miami had like 1, first round pick when he was there, that was Norris Cole at 28, who managed to get a 2nd contract pretty much only because he played with James.
But you see that is the thing, late 1st round picks or 2nd round picks (which all those guys are) is all you are going to end up with when you have Lebron James. In addition, teams with Lebron James tend to trade draft picks and young players for win now players to maximize the Lebron James window. That is what happens when you have contenders.

About Nicholas
I teach courses in economics, focusing on issues of climate, the environment, gender, race, and research methodologies. I have co-written an introductory economics textbook, Principles of Economics in a Nutshell.
My research examines the role of social norms in economic activity, especially with respect to coping with and mitigating climate change. Other projects investigate the intersection between ecological and feminist economics.
I grew up in Tennessee and moved to Washington, D.C. for college and stayed for 11 years, working on energy and climate policy reporting and attending graduate school. After spending 2 years living in New York City, I moved to Redlands in 2016. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano, hiking, board games, and baking.

Project Manager, Project Management, All Melbourne VIC, Varley Rafael Australia Pty Ltd (VRA) is seeking a Project Manager – Defence Systems, The Project Manager shall lead complex systems integration, introduction into service and in service support activities.
Western Australia-based shipbuilder Austal has announced stronger than expected revenue growth on the back of continued success across the company's global subsidiaries.
Austal previously indicated that it expected FY2019 group revenue of $1.3 to $1.4 billion. Following preparation of the draft FY2019 H1 accounts, including updated forecasts from the USA, the company now expects FY2019 revenue of approximately $1.9 billion (assuming that the USD-AUD exchange rate continues at the current level).
The incremental revenue is distributed over a number of different contracts with varying EBIT margins. In addition, Austal's policy is to recognise profit at a lower level in the early stages of procurement and production for new vessel designs or existing designs that are undergoing material modifications or upgrades, particularly the Littoral Combat Ships and Expeditionary Fast Transport programs with the US Navy.
The company is perhaps best known for its high capability, advanced naval vessels, most notably the Independence Class LCS for the US Navy, military high speed support vessels for transport and humanitarian relief, such as the Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF) for the US Navy and the High Speed Support Vessel (HSSV) for the Royal Navy of Oman.
"We have put a lot of effort into achieving these results. We have seen our US operations and shipyards going from strength to strength in partnership with the US Navy and locally, the high-speed ferry facility in WA now turning order backlogs into profits," Singleton added.
Austal also designs, constructs, integrates and maintains an extensive range of patrol boats for government law enforcement and border protection agencies globally, including the Cape-Class Patrol Boat for the Australian Border Force and Royal Australian Navy, and the new Guardian Class Patrol Boat for the Commonwealth of Australia.
Austal is an Australian-based shipbuilder and global defence prime contractor that designs constructs and sustains some of the world's most advanced commercial and defence vessels. The company successfully balances commercial and defence projects and celebrates 30 years of success in 2018. Austal has designed, constructed and delivered more than 300 commercial and defence vessels for more than 100 operators in 54 countries worldwide.

I'll attempt to avoid being too maudlin with this post (Lord knows there has been more than enough anguish to go around this past week), but allow me to offer a few words of praise from a website that has been forced to hand out kind words as often as the Bush Administration hands out art endowments.
Sonic fans are quite lucky to live in a city with three major dailies. Luckier still, we've been blessed for the past couple of years with writers who have never stopped investigating the neverending Sonics-to-Oklahoma story. Unlike The Oklahoman, which forces its writers to check objectivity at the door, in Seattle we have writers who rarely miss a chance to explore a story from all angles, even angles that are detrimental to the city in which they reside.
While some Sonic supporters have castigated these writers (Percy Allen at the Times, Gary Washburn at the PI, Eric Williams at the TNT) for not being all-out supporters of the team while it was in Seattle, those, like me, who appreciate a free press have not. The three main beat writers have also been supported by people like Jayda Evans, Jim Brunner, and Greg Johns, who dug into this story and illustrated it for their readers. I, for one, am appreciative of their efforts.
In many cities, those paragraphs of praise would be the end of it. But a complimentary story on the media in Seattle would not be complete without offering thanks to the man who has provided more memories than anyone in Sonic history — longtime play-by-play man Kevin Calabro.
Calabro gives his devoted listeners a rare combination: a love of the game teamed with a fantastic voice and a unique style. For more than an entire generation, it was KC who taught us to "get on that magic carpet and ride" and to "get on up for the downstroke." Bob Blackburn may have been the Abraham of Sonic broadcasters, but Calabro was the Moses.
While still attending college, I travelled up to Seattle for Christmas break one year, and with friends in tow, attempted to get to a Sonics game. Like all early-20s endeavors we were long on intentions and short on execution. Having missed the opening tip, we were driving in a frenzy through Seattle looking for a bar to watch the game. Calabro kept us up to date on the car radio, as he has for so many others over the past decades. At one point, Shawn Kemp rose up and threw down what must have been an especially memorable dunk.
"Oh, Reignman!" Calabro intoned, "Nobody do the voodoo like you do!" It was a singular moment that drew a massive cheer from our overcrowded car, and it was a moment that stays with me to this day. A great broadcaster is more than just a voice on the radio or television, he is a friend sitting alongside you, a representative for you at the game.
Thanks, KC, Percy, Gary, Eric, and all the rest. You've made being a Sonic fan more enjoyable. I hope there's more to come.
whiskeychainsaw said...
I, too, concur with your sentiment.
Unfortunately, though, some of the folks across the Sonic blogosphere wanted homers to report on this story; that'd've been subjective, unsubstantiated bullshit.
However, the beat writers, journalists, and columnists working for the Seattle Times, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and the News Tribune in Tacoma didn't succumb to such pressure and, as a result, did a marvelous job with their objective articles.
It's nice being able to trust our local newspapers.

In a video titled "Procter & Gamble to Divest 100 Brands," Euromonitor International discusses the global company's recently announced plans to divest itself of up to 100 of its brands following its financial results released on August 1, 2014.
Oru Mohiuddin, senior beauty and personal care research analyst for Euromonitor, says in the video, "Procter & Gamble announced that it is going to divest 100 brands. This is as part of its ongoing restructure process that we have been seeing in the last few years. The decision to divest these 100 brands is a good move, but the question is, how does it intend to use these newly released resources going forward?
"One of the challenges that Procter & Gamble has been facing is that it does not have sufficient coverage across the pricing spectrum in comparison to some of its leading competitors; for example, Unilever in hair care has a broad-based presence across the pricing spectrum, and this has been one of Unilever's strengths.
"So, for Procter & Gamble, the recommendation is to use its newly released resource to develop [a] wider presence across the pricing spectrum," Mohiuddin concludes.
Speculation is that many of P&G's larger beauty and personal care brands—such as CoverGirl, Gillette, Pantene, Olay, SK-II, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Dolce & Gabbana, Head & Shoulders, Crest, Old Spice, Wella, Secret and others—will not be affected, but P&G CEO A.G. Lafley told The Wall Street Journal, "I'm not interested in size. I'm interested in whether we are the preferred choice of shoppers."

ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia senior lineman Jordan Davis has been included as one of five finalists for the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, according to an announcement from the Walter Camp Football Foundation.
Davis, a native of Charlotte, N.C., joins Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett, Michigan State running back Kenneth Walker III and Alabama quarterback Bryce Young as finalists.
The Walter Camp Player of Year recipient, who is voted on by the 130 Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors, will be announced on Dec. 9 on The Home Depot College Football Awards show.
Davis has already been named a finalist for the Outland Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy and Senior CLASS Award and a semifinalist for the Lott IMPACT Trophy.
During the Bulldogs' 12-0 start and run to this weekend's Southeastern Conference Championship Game, Davis has registered 24 stops, including 3.5 tackles for loss and two sacks, and scored a rushing touchdown versus Charleston Southern. His presence has helped Georgia rank first nationally in Scoring Defense (6.9 points/game), Total Defense (230.8 yards/game) and Red Zone Defense (54.5 percent), second in Passing Yards Allowed (151.9 y/g) and third in Rushing Defense (78.9 y/g).
A pair of Georgia players had already been named award finalists. Junior quarterback Stetson Bennett (Burlsworth Trophy) and junior linebacker Nakobe Dean (Butkus Award) are one of three candidates still eligible to garner these individual honors. In addition, Dean had already been named to the 2021 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.
The No. 1/1/1 Bulldogs (12-0, 8-0 SEC) face No. 3/4/2 Alabama (11-1, 7-1 SEC) in Saturday's SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. CBS will televise the matchup from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Gene-edited vaccine to protect against avian flu, Marek's disease
Next step is to validate vaccine's effectiveness in field trials.
Scientists at The Pirbright Institute in the U.K. have used gene editing to develop a vaccine that protects birds against both Marek's disease and avian influenza.
Pirbright said the process is "faster and more efficient" compared to previous methods, which will allow poultry vaccine producers to rapidly update vaccine strains in order to keep up with virus evolution.
In a new study published in the journal Vaccines, the team used the gene editing tool CRISPR/Cas9 to insert an avian influenza gene into the turkey herpesvirus (HVT) that is used in Marek's disease vaccines, the institute explained in its announcement. The gene codes for haemagglutinin (HA), an influenza protein that is key for virus entry into host cells and is, therefore, an important target of the host immune response to block infection.
"HVT is already widely used in vaccines against Marek's disease and can be administered to eggs, enabling automated delivery and providing birds with protection from the day they hatch. The additional HA gene we have incorporated will be expressed by HVT when it replicates in host cells, meaning that a single dose of vaccine induces immunity against both viruses," explained professor Munir Iqbal, head of the Avian Influenza group at Pirbright.
"The genetic engineering process we have developed using CRISPR/Cas9 is far quicker and more efficient than previous technologies, as well as being very consistent and accurate. These attributes are essential for providing fast and reliable vaccine production to protect poultry," Iqbal added.
Mutations can occur with high frequency in HA proteins, enabling flu viruses to evade immunity generated by vaccines, the announcement said. Using CRISPR/Cas9 to create new vaccines will help tackle evolving viruses by reducing the time it takes manufacturing companies to adapt their vaccine strains to match these mutations, allowing faster responses to outbreaks and providing better protection, Pirbright said.
Although this gene editing method is very reliable, a small number of HVT viruses fail to incorporate the HA gene into their own genome effectively. To ensure that HA is being expressed in the vaccine, the team exploited the HA protein's ability to bind to molecules on the surface of red blood cells.
Chicken cells infected with the successfully modified HVT virus express HA on their surface, which red blood cells attach to, forming a clump that can be visualized using microscopy, Pirbright said.
This simple lab test improves the speed at which suitable vaccine candidates can be identified and has a much broader application as it can also be used for other viruses that incorporate proteins which interact with red blood cells, according to the institute.
"Improving how we make vaccines is critical for preventing avian influenza outbreaks. Our work could help reduce the spread of disease between birds and reduce the risk of infection for people who work closely with poultry," Iqbal said. "Now that we have developed a rapid method for generating this modified vaccine, our next steps will be to study the vaccine's effectiveness in field trials."

( German RAAB; Latin JAURINENSIS).
A Hungarian see, suffragan to the Archdiocese of Gran . After the county of Vas and parts of the county of Veszprém had been taken in 1777 to form the Diocese of Szombathely, the Diocese of Györ assumed its present proportions; it comprises the Counties of Moson and Sopron, the greater portion of the County of Györ, and a part of the County of Komárom. There are two cathedral chapters, the chapter of Györ with 14 canonicates, and that of Sopron with 5; there are also 8 titular abbacies, 6 provostships, and 4 titular provostships. The diocese is divided into 7 archdeaconries and 22 vice-archdeaconries, and contains 239 parishes. The clergy number 379, of whom 315 are engaged in parish work; 52 patrons exercise the right of presentation to 224 benefices. The diocese has two seminaries attended (1908) by 102 students, and 48 monasteries with 630 religious. The total population is 563,093, the Catholics slumbering 451,150. The diocese was founded by King St. Stephen, the date being, as believed, 1001. Modestus (1019-37) is said to have been the first bishop. Arduin or Hartvik (1097-1103) wrote the life of St. Stephen . Thomas Bakocz of Erdod, later primate of Hungary and cardinal, occupied the See of Györ from 1489 to 1494. Georg Draskovich (d. 1587), together with the chapter, fled before the Turks, who seized part of the diocese but held it only for a short time. After the reconquest of Györ Martinus Pethe (1598-1605), who restored the cathedral, was appointed bishop. In 1608 Demetrius Náprágyi (1607-19) acquired the reliquary, which up to that time had been preserved at Grosswardein containing the skull of King St. Ladislaus . Georg Draskovich (1635-50) was one of the most zealous champions of the Counter-Reformation. Among the more recent bishops of Györ Johann Simor (1857-67) later Archbishop of Gran, was the most illustrious. The present bishop is Count Nikolaus Szechenyi.


SQL Server 2016 includes a variety of query optimizer enhancements. Some of these have existed since the first previews while others were added later. This is an opportunity to discuss, test out, and validate the behavior and benefits of these changes!
Any database may have its compatibility mode set to a previous (supported) version of SQL Server. This allows some level of backward compatibility between a newer version of SQL Server and an older one. By doing so, we can facilitate a smoother upgrade between versions, knowing that we are not immediately cutting the cord on all discontinued or altered features. Despite being in a compatibility mode, you can still take advantage of new SQL Server features, so long as they do not directly conflict with a feature of the older compatibility level you are using.
This TSQL will adjust AdventureWorks2014 to use SQL Server 2016 compatibility.
Prior to SQL Server 2016, running a database in a previous version's compatibility mode had no guarantees with regards to the behavior of the query optimizer and the executions plans it generated. Starting in SQL Server 2016, Microsoft guarantees that new query optimizer improvements will only be available in compatibility level 130. If you are running a database on a SQL Server 2016 server, but it is in an earlier compatibility mode, then no new optimizer features will be applied when queries are executed in your database.
This means that if you upgrade a server from SQL Server 2014 to 2016 and leave a database in compatibility level 120, then query plans will remain the same as they were on the old version. New optimizer features will only become available when the database is altered to utilize compatibility level 130.
MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA, and SHA1 hash algorithms are no longer supported. Use SHA2_256 or SHA2_512 instead.
A given table can now have 10,000 foreign keys or referential constraints. The limit used to be 253. That is a LOT of foreign keys!
Statistics sampling is now multi-threaded. All previous versions were single-threaded.
Trace flag 2371 is on by default, whereas in all previous versions it was off. This trace flag changes how automatically updating statistics determine when to update and how to update. Without it enabled, statistics would update when 20% of a table changed. For smaller tables, this is generally acceptable. For larger tables, it become untenable. The trace flag makes it so that statistics are auto-updated for a smaller % of change, starting at about 25k rows, which is ideal for very large tables. In SQL Server 2016, in addition to the trace flag being on, improvements have been made to which rows are sampled (leaning towards newer data). Lastly, auto-updating statistics will no longer block queries while running.
Queries with serial plans, or those under maximum degree of parallelism = 1.
Cardinality estimation is improved, beyond those enhancements found in SQL Server 2014.
Queries on In-Memory OLTP tables can utilize parallel execution plans.
INSERT INTO…SELECT queries can be multi-threaded or benefit from a parallel execution plans.
These changes are almost exclusively enhancements—each improving how execution plans or statistics are managed or adding parallelism into plans that previously could not benefit from it. If you're using old has algorithms that are discontinued in SQL Server 2016, be sure to transition to newer ones that are supported prior to upgrading your compatibility level.
Foreign keys provide referential integrity between tables, ensuring that write operations on either do not render the related columns orphaned. Whenever a foreign key column is written, a check must occur of the referenced table to ensure the write operation doesn't violate the foreign key definition.
In previous versions of SQL Server, this meant that scans or seeks would be performed against the parent table in order to validate a write operation, prior to it being committed. The specific operations required to validate the foreign key would be explicitly shown in the execution plan, for all referenced tables. In SQL Server 2016, the Foreign Key References Check is introduced to handle all referential integrity checks in a single step. Microsoft's documentation indicates that this change will greatly simplify execution plans and reduce compilation time for the execution plan.
What does this mean for any existing keys and the queries that write to related columns? Let's take a few minutes to run some tests and find out exactly how this new operator performs and compares to what we experienced in previous versions.
These plans each show that each individual update is check for a valid value in the parent table. Note that in the first update statement, we use the same value twice. Common sense would tell us that it should only be necessary to validate this once, but the optimizer will check Production.UnitMeasure twice anyway. These checks take the firm of the two clustered index seeks seen in each of the above execution plans.
With SQL Server 2016, we are promised a new operator that will make checks such as these more efficient and better documented. The latter is a useful point, as in large queries, it might not be immediately obvious which operators refer to a referential integrity check and not the active query itself.
The resulting execution plan I receive is the same as the old plan shown above. Since it is unclear why I am unable to get the desired results, I've left a note on the article to get more info on why this isn't working. If there is some feature or setting I am missing, or if this operator is not yet available for the current RTM release, then it'll be good to have that information to work with.
If an update on the new operator is received, either via the MSDN post or some other channel, I'll update this article with the details.
In previous versions of SQL Server, when a hotfix or cumulative update was released, any query optimizer improvements bestowed by that update would not immediately go into effect. Instead, it was necessary to turn on trace flag 4199, which would then enable any new optimizer features originating from any installed updates to SQL Server.
This off-by-default methodology worked, but was a bit obfuscated and not clear to administrators that this was the intended behavior that they should work with. Often, patches would be installed, the trace flag not turned on, and thus no optimizer changes were realized until a major upgrade occurred. This is typically acceptable as we shouldn't change optimizer behavior unless a problem exists that needs resolution, or if we upgrading to a new major version.
Starting with SQL Server 2016, all query optimizer improvements will be linked directly to compatibility level. If a database is upgraded to compatibility level 130, then all previous optimizations will be implemented. A database that is not in compatibility mode 130 will not receive optimizer enhancements from SQL Server 2016. Trace flag 4199 will be reserved for turning on any optimizer changes introduced in subsequent patches while still running the current version of SQL Server. If you were to upgrade to some future version of SQL Server, perhaps SQL Server 2018, then switching to the hypothetical 140 compatibility level would retroactively enable all optimizer enhancements introduced via hotfixes and service packs to SQL Server 2016.
Specific trace flags used to be used prior to trace flag 4199 for enabling query optimizer enhancements via an individual hotfix. This functionality was intended for scenarios where a distinct bug is in need of patching, and the enhancement needed as part of the fix. A variety of trace flags from 4101 – 4135 (non-inclusive) handled these specific hotfixes, which were no longer utilized after trace flag 4199 was created.
Each version of SQL Server comes with its share of query optimizer changes. Some are paired with new features, while others are intended to improve existing functionality. At least one of the new features, the foreign key referential integrity operator, isn't available yet, but hopefully will make its appearance in a soon-to-be released revision.
The compatibility mode guarantee provides significantly more control over how new features affect the optimizer and ensures that upgrade processes can be better designed. The guaranteed knowledge of how features will behave provides a level of confidence that was not as easily available in previous versions of SQL Server.
Keep an eye out for more! It is not unheard of for Microsoft to release or document additional improvements in later service packs. These can be innocuous bug fixes or possibly cool new DMVs, optimizer enhancements, or feature additions!


Posts relating to the Native American Kanistanaux Family known in Stockton, NY.
I don't anticipate this exercise will provide any real clues to Dr. Lee-o-netto's parents, but with many research problems it can provide useful information. I encourage my readers to learn all you can about the locations your ancestors lived. If the building still stands, maybe there is treasure in a dark attic corner.
I like to take these little site-seeing excursions. They help me understand the environment the subject lived and worked within and in turn that helps me get to know my research subject as a person.
First I would like to apologize to my readers for my long absence. It seems life and responsibility keep getting in the way of my research. I do have records to share, but recently have not been able to set aside the blocks of time needed for the background research and post writing. I am not giving up the blog, but it looks like this situation will continue until after the holidays. Posting will be erratic for a while longer so please, bear with me.
Today I am exploring Mrs. C. B. Mosman who filed a claim against Lee-o-netto's estate stating she provided "work, labor, and services" to Dr. Lee for 26 years without pay. I need to investigate this woman and her family on the off chance someone is related to Lee-o-netto in some way.
Good research requires numerous side trips to explore all the people connected to our research subjects. I recently noticed some genealogy folks referring to this research technique as "cluster genealogy". Now it has a fancy name, but I just think of it as common sense research. When you are looking for something – look everywhere it could possibly be!


The Error module provides two interfaces. Firstly "Error" provides a procedural interface to exception handling. Secondly "Error" is a base class for errors/exceptions that can either be thrown, for subsequent catch, or can simply be recorded.
Errors in the class "Error" should not be thrown directly, but the user should throw errors from a sub-class of "Error".
Warning: Using the "Error" module is no longer recommended due to the black-magical nature of its syntactic sugar, which often tends to break. Its maintainers have stopped actively writing code that uses it, and discourage people from doing so.
Recommended alternatives are Exception::Class (libexception-class-perl), Error::Exception (not packaged), TryCatch (libtrycatch-perl), and Try::Tiny (libtry-tiny-perl).
