On Tuesday night, just a couple of days before executives from Comcast and NBC Universal were to testify before Congress on their pending merger, the top brass from both companies got together in New York for an "Integration Kick-Off Dinner." And there was magic!
Or at least, there was a magician to provide the after-dinner entertainment. On the upper level of the Maloney & Porcelli restaurant in midtown, NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker and Comcast CEO Brian Roberts pulled cards out of a deck. The entertainment, arranged by Zucker, was probably meant as an allusion to the magic that is supposed to happen when these entities consummate their marriage. But to one observer, it seemed an ironic choice on Zucker's part. "I thought, 'How fitting—a guy with all the smoke and mirrors having this magic act,'" he says.
"So while I commend NBCU and Comcast for making voluntary commitments as part of this merger," Sen. Al Franken said, "you'll have to excuse me if I don't just trust their promises."
Clearly it annoyed more than one of those gathered earlier that day on the Saturday Night Live set in New York to watch Zucker officiate at the proceedings—with his recently renewed contract and the stench of the Jay Leno-Conan O'Brien fiasco still in the air. The perfect touch, a witness says, was that the magician made coins disappear.
The gathered executives heard a list of do's and don'ts for the delicate months ahead during which the merger will hover without having landed federal approval. Comcast COO Steve Burke introduced his company and Zucker talked about NBC Universal, stressing that NBC's faltering primetime schedule accounts for only about five percent of the company's total revenue. (Which is reassuring how?)
The evening was "very collegial," says another observer, but "it's a year before this all happens so there was nothing substantive about it."
On Thursday, Roberts and Zucker appeared before committees of the House and Senate to promise that bad things will not happen if the merger is approved. NBC will survive as a broadcast network and cable rates won't skyrocket, they said. There won't be massive layoffs at the combined company and NBC affiliates need not fear that Comcast will cherry-pick the strongest offerings on the network's schedule—such as they are—and put them on its cable channels.
The House was docile, but some senators bared their fangs to such a degree that Andrew Schwartzman of the public-interest Media Access Project, which opposes the merger, actually wondered whether the government might impose enough conditions on the deal to give Comcast pause. (Congress wouldn't do that, but federal regulators could.)
The standout among those aggressive senators was Democrat Al Franken of Minnesota, who has had some experience on that very Saturday Night Live set where the Comcast-NBC Uni shindig took place. "I worked for NBC for many years," he said. "And what I know from my previous career has given me reason to be concerned—let me rephrase that, very concerned—about the potential merger of Comcast and NBC Universal."
He observed that in the early '90s, the network promised the government that if they were permitted to own more of their programming, independent producers would not get hurt. Today, most shows belong to the networks that air them, and if an independent producer wants to get a program on the schedule, the networks normally demand at least part ownership.
"This is completely contrary to what NBC and the other networks said they would do," Franken said. "So while I commend NBCU and Comcast for making voluntary commitments as part of this merger, you'll have to excuse me if I don't just trust their promises."
Roberts testified that the combination would result in "a more creative and innovative company." And with his usual lack of self-consciousness, Zucker said that before the joint venture was proposed, "I was concerned about the future of broadcasting." But Comcast's commitment to NBC "gives me greater comfort in thinking about the future of broadcasting."
Some of his colleagues feel the same way—though perhaps for different reasons.

What if my TP-Link Outdoor Access Points fails to connect to the Ubiquiti access point?
O artigo aplica-se a:
Many users will use TP-Link Outdoor Access Points together with Ubiquiti (UBNT) access point. Some users may encounter problems when trying to connect the TP-Link Outdoor Access Points to the UBNT access point. Most of these problems are caused by mismatched settings. This FAQ aims to help you solve the incompatibility problems between TP-Link and UBNT.
What if my TP-Link Outdoor Access Points can see the SSID of UBNT access point but fail to connect?
UBNT AirOS has a feature called AirMAX, which is a proprietary protocol only compatible with Ubiquiti devices.
AirMAX is enabled by default in AP mode. So when you set up a UBNT access point, remember to disable the AirMAX function on it. Once AirMAX is disabled, TL-LINK Outdoor Access Points as well as other Wi-Fi devices can cooperate with the UBNT access point. Please also note that the throughput will decrease if AirMAX is disabled.

Heinz post.
- Summer was baller. (i know, i know...but i do love that word.) Great people, great productions, great music. Another really fulfilling season, and while I'm not surprised at this point, I am grateful and in awe of my colleagues who have done some amazing artistic things. Tutti bravi!
- I took two weeks off at the end of the season. I thought I was going to help Mom through some post-op, but ended up not...I have little to show for the time, but it was GLORIOUS.
- Jessica Vanderhoof from Artists on Fire helped me streamline my closet. I gave a million things away...and somehow I'm having an easier time getting dressed in the morning.
- I opened an Etsy store for my doodles.
- Hubs and I spent time with neighbors and pals, and did a lot of puttering around the house. We got new back steps and new plants (which we're trying to not kill in the glorious low-humidity.)
- The University of Maryland invited me to sit for 2 days of audition intensives with their students. It was a thrill to go back to my alma mater, and to hear some great singing.
- Had a great evening here: beautiful, AND tasty!
- I missed the Wolf Trap Ball this year, but it was by all accounts a great evening. (Shout out to Bob and Tim for the beautiful scenery, and to Alyson & Robert & Josephine and the Inscape chamber players for making such beautiful music.)
- I started a new diet. (shocker)
- My hair went from blonde to brownish grey. It's likely closer to my natural color, but I'm going to subscribe to revisionist history for a while longer...salon appointment on Thursday.
We leave for auditions on Saturday. Many miles to go before then, and to be wholly honest, I'm far from ready in every category...I'm struggling with just about everything, across the board: my self, my job, my habits, my goals...all of it.
Tomorrow is Yom Kippur, and while I'm not Jewish (although I have ancestors who converted from Judaism to Catholicism upon reaching the US), I'm thinking that a day of fasting/introspection might not be a good way to jolt me out of this fog/funk. Also, tomorrow Pope Francis says mass in DC...and maybe some of that divine goodness might waft its way out to the burbs, to a girl who needs it.
I believe in miracles, even if I can't commit to a religious tradition. :)
Hoping you find yourself in the new routine of autumn, with low humidity and peaceful evenings and beautiful skies forever amen.

Vivek and I would like to start by saying thank you for doing such a magnificent job. The mandap along with everything else looked beautiful. Our guests were delighted at how romantic and gorgeous everything looked.
Thank you for making our wedding day special. It couldn't have been done without the help of the Yanni team. Everything was so beautiful that you will definitely be contracting clients from the wedding and reception.
People said "their jaw's dropped" at how romantic and gorgeous everything looked.
Thank you again,

First Impressions are an important part of the sales process especially in the current market. The Agents at Sibley Realty & Associates, L.L.C. have prepared a checklist to help you set the stage for your prospective buyers.

Basically, you just go to a search website that lets you look anything up so you can type in the name of the hotel and the word reviews. Once you come up with a few reviews, you can get a feel for whether the hotel is good or not. If all you see are people saying negative things, about damage to large suitcases or things like that, you know not to go to that hotel because you'll probably have a bad time there.
A hotel should be priced fairly before you go and stay at it. You want to know that you're getting a good deal on it so you want to book in advance. Generally, you get a much better deal if you book a few weeks ahead of time because then you can reserve a room and they will not be able to overcharge you like they would if you didn't book a room until you got to Cuba. Shop around a little and find out what multiple hotels are charging so you can get an idea of what's fair and what to avoid.
The best hotels in Cuba should now be easier for you to find. There are quite a few to choose from so you have to be careful. Take your time to find what you're looking for and you will be happy with the hotel that you eventually select.

The Lame-Duck Congress is limping along and with each day in session, the chances for an Omnibus Public Lands Bill increase. The proposed Omnibus Public Lands Bill includes many proposals that will have a negative impact of motorized recreation opportunity.
Please take a moment and MAKE A CALL to your Senators about the lame duck Omnibus Bill about to hit us. My friends in the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) have a great Action Alert with more information here and a link where you can get the phone number for YOUR SENATOR here: http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/legisltn/rapidresponse.asp
Critical attention must be paid to the following Senators that have great influence over the future of this legislation. If you are a constituent of any of these Senators, please call them today and ask everyone you know to do the same: Senators McCain (AZ), Bennett (UT), Corker (TN), Brownback (KS), Voinovich (OH), Collins (ME), Snowe (ME), McConnell (KY), Kyl (AZ), Thune (SD), Barrasso (WY), Bunning (KY), Burr (NC), Risch (ID), Ensign (NV) and Sessions (AL).
I am asking for phone calls and not emails as this is THAT important (and time sensitive). Make a quick call and tell them NO Omnibus Bill – because:
1. There's not been any real public debate or input and even if the bill has some good stuff in it, we, the public need time to digest and review it.
2. This is being shoved through (down our throats) in too big a hurry. It's not the way government was intended to work.
3. The bill contains multiple land designations that merely CLOSE us out of our public lands – we need time to review, digest, comment, and CHANGE the language. It certainly does not represent the will of the public.
4. This thing contains vast spending measures that are not relevant to public land access.
5. Basically, this is a unilateral agenda to close millions of acres of public lands – YOUR land.
PLEASE make that call right now.

An easy cheddar cheese meatloaf recipe made with ground beef, cheddar cheese, onion, and milk. Big chunks of cheddar cheese in the meatloaf give it added flavor. Find out how to make this easy meatloaf the entire family will love.
When was the last time you made homemade meatloaf? In my personal opinion meatloaf is the ultimate in home cooking. If you are looking for comfort food, this is it! Nothing says home cooked comfort like meatloaf and roasted garlic mashed potatoes.
Easy cheesy meatloaf is my hands down all-time favorite meatloaf recipe because it involves no catsup. I dislike the taste of baked catsup and prefer meatloaf that tastes good, is moist, and can stand on its own without the need for catsup.
If you love cheese, this recipe will make your day! There is 1/2 pound of cheddar cheese baked right into the meatloaf. How awesome is that?
Serve with your favorite mashed potatoes. Gravy is optional and not necessary as this meatloaf tastes great on its own.
Venison Option
Also, because our family hunts, I often substitute one pound of venison in the recipe. I use one pound of venison and one pound of ground beef. Because venison is quite lean, there is less excess fat to drain off after baking. I would not recommend using 2 pounds of venison though, as you do need some of the fat from the ground beef to bring the flavors together and keep the meatloaf moist. So, give it a try if you have venison available to you.
Cheddar Cheese Meatloaf Recipe
- 2 pounds lean ground beef (80/20 mix)
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 cup milk
- ½ lb. medium or sharp cheddar cheese (cut into ½" cubes)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the beef, onion, bread crumbs, salt, paprika, celery salt, black pepper, eggs, and milk. Mix until combined well.
- Cut cheese into ½" cubes and fold in to the meat mixture.
- Grease a 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan with vegetable cooking spray.
- Place meat mixture into pan and spread until even. Take a fork and poke it a few times to make sure there are no air holes.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 60 minutes.
- Let stand for 10 minutes once removed from the oven.
- Drain any excess fat from the loaf.
- Slice and serve with homemade mashed potatoes.

This guide shows the configuration and workflow for self-hosting the utag.js files.
Before you begin, contact your Account Manager to verify the contracted terms for this feature on your account to ensure availability and appropriate licencing is maintained.
The article contains the following sections:
The main difference in self-hosting is in the code snippet used to load utag.js on your website. The domain and path to that file must be updated to reflect your server location that hosts the files. In the following example you can see the URL change from Tealium's standard location to a self-hosted location.
Original Tealium snippet:
<!-- Tealium Universal Tag --> <script type="text/javascript"> (function(a,b,c,d){ a='//tags.tiqcdn.com/utag/[ACCOUNT]/[PROFILE]/[ENV]/utag.js'; b=document;c='script';d=b.createElement(c);d.src=a; d.type='text/java'+c;d.async=true; a=b.getElementsByTagName(c)[0];a.parentNode.insertBefore(d,a) })(); </script>
Self-Host snippet:
<!-- Tealium Universal Tag --> <script type="text/javascript"> (function(a,b,c,d){ a='//YOURDOMAIN.com/CUSTOM/PATH/[ENV]/utag.js'; b=document;c='script';d=b.createElement(c);d.src=a; d.type='text/java'+c;d.async=true; a=b.getElementsByTagName(c)[0];a.parentNode.insertBefore(d,a) })(); </script>
The first step is to enable the zip archive so that you can retrieve the necessary files from iQ. The zip archive is a file named
distro.zip that is created every time a publish occurs. It contains all the necessary files to run your instance of utag.js. This file is not generated by default, so it must be enabled.
To enable the distro file:
The published file location is a setting that tells the utag.js code where to load subsequent utag files (eg. utag.4.js). Remember, the code snippet to load utag.js will be adjusted to use your custom self-hosted location, but the loading of the other utag files occurs dynamically based on the logic within utag.js and the default location is Tealium's Multi-CDN domain.
To change the published file location:
Include the environment in your path to support the built-in dev, qa, and prod targets.
You have now enabled the downloadable distro.zip file. You will notice that the code snippet in the Code Center now displays the custom location of your hosted utag.js instead of Tealium's default Multi-CDN location.
The final step is to publish the profile to all environment targets (dev, qa, prod). This will ensure you have a distro.zip file generated for each environment.
You will continue to manage your tags within iQ, but each time you save and publish you will need to download the new distro.zip file and unzip the files to your own server.
To download and verify the distro.zip file:
Lastly, after you make the utag files available on your live site we recommend taking one last step to label the released version in iQ using Version Labels. This will indicate to users of your account which versions have completed your internal software release cycle.
For extra security concerns, you can verify the contents of the files by clicking the Distro Verification link from the publish details area where you downloaded distro.zip. This will show the SHA-256 checksums for each file in the archive.
Then you can use your favorite checksum utility to verify the digest signatures of the files on your hosted location. Here is the SHA-256 checksum for utag.js, which matches the value seen in iQ.

Although all four individuals were actors, showing their love and affection for each other was far from acting. Kaolin and James have been in a committed relationship for two years, while Ashby and Leslie are a married couple who have been together for eight years."

This was our tea tonight and it was yummy! I share it with you and hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
400gm sliced veal shin (osso bucco)
2 teaspoons oil
1 red onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves of garlic, sliced or minced.
1/2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
150ml-250ml beef stock
Small bunch fresh coriander/cilantro
1 small mild red chilli, shredded
Heat a large non-stick frying pan. Rub veal with a little oil and brown over high heat. Place in a large saucepan/casserole dish. Add onion, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, stock. sweet chilli sauce and hoisin sauce over the top of the veal.
Bring to the boil, reduce heat to very low, cover and simmer for 60-90 minutes or until tender. Remove lid and increase heat to reduce and thicken the sauce if necessary. When ready to serve, scatter with coriander and shredded red chilli.
Serve with stir fried veg and steamed rice.
This is such a lovely easy to prepare dish and goes equally as well piled upon a lovely buttery mashed potato as I've done in the picture. I hope it's not too fuzzy.
Bon appetit!

With an estimated 100 million tons of plastic afloat in the Pacific Ocean already, ocean-borne plastics are a huge environmental problem.
But new technology, consumer education and a long-term vision could be coming to the rescue.
"We find a diversity of things, from toothbrushes, car fenders, every type of bottle and bucket, to derelict fishing gear," says Mary Crowley, co-founder of Project Kaisei, a California-based initiative to clean up the plastic-laden "trash patch" caught in North Pacific gyre.
"From being out there twice, it's easy to find garbage," she says of the gyre, where a confluence of currents collects floating debris. "There's all too much garbage."
Her organization is working with naval architects to repurpose oil skimming technology and redesign existing fishing technologies to start the cleanup.
"One way would simply be to adapt fishing technology," she says. "You're really just fishing for plastic, so there's no need to reinvent the wheel."
Unlike beach or coastal cleanups, one challenge with collecting waste at sea is storage.
Crowley says she envisions smaller cleaning craft taking their plastic payloads to a "mothership," similar to how oil spill cleanup works today, which would then take a large load of plastics ashore.
The scale of this oceanic pollution is hard to fathom. Despite recent descriptions of garbage gyres in the Pacific, Atlantic and other oceans, there's no "floating island" of plastic trash.
Plastics are found in higher densities in the gyres, but there's still millions of square miles of ocean where the debris floats in small individual pieces, collects around a larger piece of flotsam, or gets caught inside lost fishing gear.
Capt. Charles Moore, founder of Algalita Marine Research Foundation, says this dispersion makes removal is a tough option.
"A lot of people love the ocean and they realize ocean trash is becoming more of an issue."
"The ocean out there is a third of the surface area of the entire globe," he tells CNBC's Carl Quintanilla. "That's an enormous area to try to clean up. It's just not economically feasible to do it."
He says focusing on reducing the amounts of plastics used, to keep more from making it to the ocean, is a better idea.
Angela Howe, litigation manager with the coastal waters non-profit Surfrider Foundation, agrees.
Her group has organized beach cleanups for 25 years, but she cautions that at-sea collection methods aren't proven and could cause more damage.
"What's the by-catch?" she asks, referring to sea life that may get caught up in the plastic removal process. "I don't think there's enough research."
But source reduction is an uphill battle.
Since coming of age in the post-WWII era, plastic's low cost, light weight and durability have seen it permeate every industry, from auto-making and construction, to food production and medical services.
According to plastics recycler Plastinum Polymer Technologies, global plastics production has risen from 5 million tons in 1950 to 270 million tons in 2007—growing 250 percent since 1990 alone.
And those figures don't include some popular plastics, like polyethylene terephthalate—also known as PET, or "#1" plastic, commonly found in soda and water bottles.
Currently, the US consumes about 200 pounds of plastic per capita annually, and that's expected to rise by nearly 50 percent by 2015.
Some of that added production will inevitably wind up at sea, and that makes removal necessary, says Project Kaisei's Crowley.
New technologies could also allow Crowley's conceptual "garbage navy" to stay offshore for longer stretches.
Portland-based Agilyx has a process to convert plastic waste into a synthetic crude oil, at a price competitive with crude today.
Their first test facility, opened this past April, can convert up to 20,000 pounds a day of mixed plastics into 2,000 gallons of oil. And with a 2,000 sq. ft. footprint, it could work in a ship-borne environment.
Agilyx's system is designed to accept mixed plastics contaminated by organic materials and weathered by exposure, the kind of waste expected to be found at sea.
"The problem is economics," says Agilyx CEO Chris Ulum, referring to recycling the ocean-borne plastics. "It's recyclable (by other methods) but it's just not economically recyclable."
Ulum points out that on land, his firm can turn an inexpensive feedstock—the landfill-bound plastic waste left over after valuable plastics, like PET, are removed by recyclers—into $40-a-barrel crude oil.
"We don't compete with traditional recycling, we extend it," he says.
Funding this massive collection effort would be tough, concedes Crowley, so if a technology like Agilyx's can squeeze revenue from the collected waste, it could help defray costs.
That said, don't expect massive profits from her initiative at this point, she says.
Since the garbage patches have been publicized, she's received lots of calls from "people who want to mine the oceans" of plastics, adding that many of them have been "unfunded."
But she is optimistic that the right technology will be found.
"There are a lot of people in industry working on this, too," she says. "I am sure at some point down the line, we will be doing some kind of recycling at sea."
She points out one her organization's partners, Coca-Cola , is helping out by testing some retrieved plastics from their last voyage, to determine how long it's been afloat.
Ultimately, she says, the same movement that tackled plastic waste on land will tackle it at sea, too.
"A lot of people really love the ocean," she adds. "And they realize ocean trash is becoming more of an issue."
On Wednesday, September 29 at 9pm ET/PT, CNBC presents "Trash Inc: The Secret Life of Garbage,"a CNBC Original reported by Carl Quintanilla that takes an inside look at what happens to our garbage after we throw it out – where it goes, who touches it, and who makes money.

Born: May 06, 1960
Date of Birth: May 6, 1960
A native of Northern Ireland, Roma Downey boasts an impressive resumé filled with television, film and music appearances, all of which have drawn inspiration from her Catholic faith. Roma's original career plan was to be a painter, and she earned a Bachelor of Arts at Brighton College of Art. However, she diverted her career path and turned to acting. She received classical training at the prestigious Drama Studio London and performed in a variety of classical plays by the likes of William Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw.
Following her training, Roma joined and toured with a Dublin production of The Playboy of the Western World, which scored her a 1991 nomination for the Helen Hayes Best Actress Award. The play toured the United States, and her exposure to an American audience earned her a role in a Broadway production of The Circle with Sir Rex Harrison. Her Broadway stint paved the way to a television career, where she gave a brilliant performance in the Emmy-winning TV miniseries A Woman Named Jackie.
Roma's big break came when she was cast as Monica on CBS's Touched by an Angel, which had a highly successful television run from 1994 to 2003, making the actress a household name and earning her $100,000 per episode. She went on to appear in several TV movies before producing the History Channel's Emmy-nominated miniseries, The Bible, with husband Mark Burnett. The couple personally financed the project, which attracted 13.1 million viewers for the first episode and shattered network records over the course of three days, growing to 14.3 million viewers on its final night. In addition to producing the Primetime Emmy nominated series, Roma played the role of the Virgin Mary. The Bible inspired the 2014 feature film Son of God, which chronicles the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Once again, Roma and Mark produced the film and she played Jesus' mother.
The actress enjoyed a brief music career after signing with RCA Victor Records in 1999 and released an album called Healing Angel. After living together for several years, Roma and Mark married in 2007. She has one daughter from her marriage to director David Anspaugh. Roma, who was raised and remains a devout Roman Catholic, has an older brother who is a priest.

Porcini French Onion Soup
The snows have changed. They've made the transition from the icy powder of winter to the trademark water-balloon flakes of springtime in the Rockies. The push-pull of spring here can be maddening - one day filled with blowing snow, the next by brilliant sun that melts any trace of accumulation before noon.
I'm desperate to feel warm rays of light on my skin, and seek out puddles of sun like a cat.
At the same time, I fear losing the intimate skies and chatting geese of winter.
I'm craving the appearance of the first green leaves of the year - dock, prickly lettuce, and allium.
Still, there are no shortage of soup days to be had.
Pocini French Onion Soup
2 c. dried porcini
6 c. water, boiled
2 Tbsp. butter
1 c. chopped wild allium, white portion only
1 large onion, sliced
1 tsp. crushed Monarda fistulosa
1 tsp. good salt
freshly cracked black pepper
additional water
bay leaf
soy sauce (to taste)
shredded gruyere
1. Begin by soaking the dried porcini in the boiled water in a large bowl. Set it aside.
2. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. When it starts to bubble, add the allium and onion, as well as the Monarda, salt, and pepper.
3. The process of cooking the onions for this soup is a slow one, and requires some patience. You don't want them sauteed, with crispy edges. Instead, you are looking to go low and slow, and end up with onions that are fat, and sticky with brown yumminess. Once the moisture has evaporate out of the onions, you need to stir them more regularly, and keep a close eye on them. As soon as you see a spot on the bottom of the pan turn deep brown, splash a bit of water onto it, and rub the brown bits up with a wooden spoon as the water bubbles away. Repeat this process over and over again until you achieve onions of a deep golden brown, or until you lose patience. Strike a balance between achieving the tastiest possible soup, and losing your mind.
4. Once your onions have gotten brown and sticky, dump in both the mushrooms and their soaking water, being careful to leave behind any grit that has fallen to the bottom of the bowl. Give the soup a quick stir, then add in the bay leaf. Let it bubble gently for 10 minutes.
5. Next, add in a bit of soy sauce. I'm not going to try to tell you how much, as the potency of soy sauce seems to vary so much between brands. I use about three tablespoons. Add the soy sauce a spoonful at a time, stir, and then taste. You are looking to enhance the savory quality of the soup and add pleasant salinity, without the soup ever tasting noticeably of soy sauce. You can also add more salt at this point.
6. Fill up oven-safe bowls with the porcini french onion soup, top each with a fat slice of toast and a hearty sprinkling of cheese and place the bowls under the broiler until the cheese starts to bubble and brown in spots. Serve immediately with a stern warning to your diners about the volcanic temperature of their soup.

Now that we're halfway through winter, what better time to unveil a pair of smart skis? The prototype is the product of a collaboration between two French companies — PIQ and Rossignol — what the pair are referring to as "first-ever connected ski," bringing a crawl-style LED to the ski itself, just in front of the binding.
Using data gathered by PIQ's Robot nano-computer, the skis, gather up metrics like speed, turning angles, and transitions, displaying information in real time on the ski itself. The Rossignol Hero Master skis are still prototypes, but marks a logical step for PIQ, which creates sensors for a variety of sports, like boxing, tennis and golf.
What sets this system apart from the company's current offerings, however, is that direct integration, bringing the display directly into the sports equipment itself. Though whether skiers are looking to have that data delivered to them while on the slopes is another question entirely.
From the sound of it, the info displayed at present is more about interesting analytics than safety measures, ultimately sounds like more of a distraction than anything. The skis will be shown off for the first time this week at the ISPO 2017 sports business show in Munich.

Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods
Podman (the POD MANager) is a tool for managing containers and images, volumes mounted into those containers, and pods made from groups of containers. Podman is based on libpod, a library for container lifecycle management that is also contained in this repository. The libpod library provides APIs for managing containers, pods, container images, and volumes.
- Latest Remote client for Windows
- Latest Remote client for macOS
- Latest Static Remote client for Linux
Overview and scope
At a high level, the scope of Podman and libpod is the following:
- Support for multiple container image formats, including OCI and Docker images.
- Full management of those images, including pulling from various sources (including trust and verification), creating (built via Containerfile or Dockerfile or committed from a container), and pushing to registries and other storage backends.
- Full management of container lifecycle, including creation (both from an image and from an exploded root filesystem), running, checkpointing and restoring (via CRIU), and removal.
- Support for pods, groups of containers that share resources and are managed together.
- Support for running containers and pods without root or other elevated privileges.
- Resource isolation of containers and pods.
- Support for a Docker-compatible CLI interface.
- No manager daemon, for improved security and lower resource utilization at idle.
- Support for a REST API providing both a Docker-compatible interface and an improved interface exposing advanced Podman functionality.
- In the future, integration with CRI-O to share containers and backend code.
Podman presently only supports running containers on Linux. However, we are building a remote client which can run on Windows and macOS and manage Podman containers on a Linux system via the REST API using SSH tunneling.
- Further improvements to the REST API, with a focus on bugfixes and implementing missing functionality
- Integrate libpod into CRI-O to replace its existing container management backend
- Improvements on rootless containers, with a focus on improving the user experience and exposing presently-unavailable features when possible
If you think you've identified a security issue in the project, please DO NOT report the issue publicly via the GitHub issue tracker, mailing list, or IRC.
Instead, send an email with as many details as possible to
email@example.com. This is a private mailing list for the core maintainers.

Podman can be easily run as a normal user, without requiring a setuid binary.
When run without root, Podman containers use user namespaces to set root in the container to the user running Podman.
Rootless Podman runs locked-down containers with no privileges that the user running the container does not have.
Some of these restrictions can be lifted (via
--privileged, for example), but rootless containers will never have more privileges than the user that launched them.
If you run Podman as your user and mount in
/etc/passwd from the host, you still won't be able to change it, since your user doesn't have permission to do so.
Almost all normal Podman functionality is available, though there are some shortcomings. Any recent Podman release should be able to run rootless without any additional configuration, though your operating system may require some additional configuration detailed in the install guide.
A little configuration by an administrator is required before rootless Podman can be used, the necessary setup is documented here.
Out of scope
- Specialized signing and pushing of images to various storage backends. See Skopeo for those tasks.
- Support for the Kubernetes CRI interface for container management. The CRI-O daemon specializes in that.
OCI Projects Plans
The plan is to use OCI projects and best of breed libraries for different aspects:
- Runtime: We use the OCI runtime tools to generate OCI runtime configurations that can be used with any OCI-compliant runtime, like crun and runc.
- Images: Image management uses the containers/image library.
- Storage: Container and image storage is managed by containers/storage.
- Networking: Networking support through use of CNI.
- Builds: Builds are supported via Buildah.
- Conmon: Conmon is a tool for monitoring OCI runtimes, used by both Podman and CRI-O.
- Seccomp: A unified Seccomp policy for Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O.

Buildah and Podman relationship
Buildah and Podman are two complementary open-source projects that are available on most Linux platforms and both projects reside at GitHub.com with Buildah here and Podman here. Both, Buildah and Podman are command line tools that work on Open Container Initiative (OCI) images and containers. The two projects differentiate in their specialization.
Buildah specializes in building OCI images. Buildah's commands replicate all of the commands that are found in a Dockerfile. This allows building images with and without Dockerfiles while not requiring any root privileges. Buildah's ultimate goal is to provide a lower-level coreutils interface to build images. The flexibility of building images without Dockerfiles allows for the integration of other scripting languages into the build process. Buildah follows a simple fork-exec model and does not run as a daemon but it is based on a comprehensive API in golang, which can be vendored into other tools.
Podman specializes in all of the commands and functions that help you to maintain and modify OCI images, such as pulling and tagging. It also allows you to create, run, and maintain those containers created from those images. For building container images via Dockerfiles, Podman uses Buildah's golang API and can be installed independently from Buildah.
A major difference between Podman and Buildah is their concept of a container. Podman
allows users to create "traditional containers" where the intent of these containers is
to be long lived. While Buildah containers are really just created to allow content
to be added back to the container image. An easy way to think of it is the
buildah run command emulates the RUN command in a Dockerfile while the
podman run
command emulates the
docker run command in functionality. Because of this and their underlying
storage differences, you can not see Podman containers from within Buildah or vice versa.
In short, Buildah is an efficient way to create OCI images while Podman allows you to manage and maintain those images and containers in a production environment using familiar container cli commands. For more details, see the Container Tools Guide.
Podman Former API (Varlink)
Podman formerly offered a Varlink-based API for remote management of containers. However, this API was replaced by the REST API. Varlink support has been removed as of the 3.0 release. For more details, you can see this blog.
Static Binary Builds
The Cirrus CI integration within this repository contains a
static_build job
which produces a static Podman binary for testing purposes. Please note that
this binary is not officially supported with respect to feature-completeness
and functionality and should be only used for testing.

We were greeted in Brisbane by the amazing Australians from the YHA Bushwalkers. They had been hosted in Seattle in 2012. What an absolutely grand experience they provided all of us. We explored some of Queensland's most beautiful and unique National Parks.
A welcome dinner was held the first evening in the home of one of the hosts where we met the rest of our group and Australian participants. A barbie (BBQ), beer and homemade pizza from the host's outdoor wood-fired pizza oven was on the menu. Maria Bowdler was our YHA organizer. A magnificent job was done by Maria and her crew making arrangements for food, lodging and transportation for our two-week visit.
After a night with our hosts, we all met the next day in Brisbane to explore the city. There were eleven visitors from the USA, Japan, England the Italy which made this a truly an international exchange, thanks to the connections of Francesco Greco. We all boarded the river ferry to view the city of Brisbane. We then walked into the neighborhoods and through a park where we saw vegetation that we had never encountered before and a former power house which had a rebirth as an entertainment center and restaurant. The weather held and we had lunch in another of Brisbane's parks.
The next morning we boarded a van driven by Ray and headed south for the Gold Coast. Despite unstable weather we did a short hike along the ocean and then visited the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. We had several hours there to experience the animals of Australia such as kangaroos, too-cute Koala bears, crocodiles, wallabies and even a bad tempered Tasmanian Devil. Here we also saw an aboriginal dance demonstration.
Back into our van and off to Lamingtion National Park via a long winding road in the dark up into the sub-tropical rainforest. At O'Reilly's Rainforest Resort we stayed at Lukes's farm. The group shared two farm buildings for the next three days. We had several hikes from here with different degrees of difficulty. Waterfalls, giant jungle trees and fabulous ferns were on the diet. Our hosts fixed hearty dinners, provided breakfast and lunch fixings and kept us on the move. We soon learned that nothing gets in the way of morning and afternoon tea….nothing….and we soon came to look forward to this daily tradition. One evening we all walked out to a viewpoint below the farm and enjoyed a stunning sunset with drinks. Another day we were entertained by a longtime guide who gave us information about the history of the area and provided us with a harmonica interlude accompanied by one of the O'Rielly son's.
When our three days were up we were off to Giraween National Park with Ray again as our driver. Giraween was very different from Lamington. It was all about granite and wattles (Queensland's state flower). It felt ancient as we walked among the wattle trees and listened to the haunting bird calls. We stayed in cabins here and again our hosts provided exceptional dinners and the fixings for breakfast and lunch. The weather held during the next two days for long hikes amongst the granite boulders and yellow wattle forest. There was a steep ascent up granite to the base of Mt. Norman before we returned to our host in Brisbane. On the return journey we stopped in Stanthorpe and Warrick to walk around these farm towns. In Warrick we even got to see the brightly clad lawn bowlers participating in a tournament. One more stop for a brief hike to Cunningham Gap to view the landscape, and then home.
On our "rest" day we met most of the others for a visit to the Brisbane Botanical Gardens. Unique flowers, trees and many water features were part of this mature garden. Then off to an urban mountain top for a view of all of Brisbane.
Fraser Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest sand island in the world was next. This was to be a very exciting and unique experience. On the way there was a brief stop in the Glass House Mountains and a hike to Ngun Ngun Mountain. At the ferry dock we parted with Ray and were in the hands of guides from Fraser Island Experience. On the island it is all sand and no roads. The small ferry took our big 4×4 across the narrow channel. After a very bumpy ride up the beach with a stop for tea from the back of the truck, we arrived at our apartments in Eurong. Dinner and breakfast was provided here by the resort. Riding in the big four wheel drive rig was our daily bone-jarring experience. Island tracks provided access to some interesting hiking in the interior and on the magnificent sand dunes. We even experienced a dip in a crystal clear (and cold) lake. Several did a scenic flight right from the beach in a small plane which landed and took off close to the rusted hulk of a large ship. We saw wild dingoes and breaching whales before heading back to Brisbane. A final farewell evening dinners at a riverside park was hosted by the YHA Bushwalkers . The skyline of Brisbane was blazing with lights. This outdoor barbie concluded a wonderful two weeks half way around the world. Thanks to all who made it possible.

All of today's trucks have great all around tow ratings. Pulling a trailer with 8000, 9000, or even 10,000 lbs is not really an issue. Your suspension however isn't enjoying life during those hauls. The same truck designed to pull those heavy loads is also designed to be soft and compliant for the people that never haul a thing.
When loaded, the rear of the truck sags which redistributes the weight balance of the truck and trailer, taking weight off the front end which in turn can cause a reduction in traction, poor braking, adverse tire wear and more. Your rear suspension also is compressed which can cause it to bottom out, and that will shorten the life of your shocks.
The fix? A set of of air springs to level your truck when loaded. Take the stress off of your shocks and other suspension components, restore balance to the truck when loaded, make towing great again!

Local Hardware Distillery Embodies the Spirit of Scandinavia
A Hood Canal couple has turned a retirement hobby into a full-fledged distillery, complete with fjord-crossing aquavit
By Chris Robinson
June 14, 2019
This article appears in print in the June 2019 issue. Click here to subscribe.
While many children follow in their parents' footsteps, Jan and Chuck Morris found themselves in the opposite scenario. Their son, Cody, was already a successful brewmaster in Seattle (he founded and ran Epic Ales in SoDo until 2015 and Mollusk Brewing in South Lake Union until earlier this year) when, in 2012, the elder Morrises decided to open a distillery as a retirement hobby. Neither of them had any experience. "We always enjoyed spirits, but did not think of operating a distillery until later in life," Jan says. Chuck adds, with a sly grin: "Unlike Cody, we decided to delve into the more mature art of distilling."
They created The Hardware Distillery Co., setting up the business in a 1930s building they bought on the picturesque shores of Hood Canal after relocating from Seattle. While many distilleries pride themselves on being singularly focused on making a specific spirit, the Morrises dabble in a little bit of everything: vodka, whiskey, gin and, perhaps the spirit they're now best known for, aquavit.
"The fact that we are on a fjord, which is similar to the fjords of Scandinavia, makes it seem like the right place for aquavits," Jan says. Reportedly, the cool salt air of the fjord is biochemically advantageous for the aromatic spirit. In 1805, Linie aquavit, a specific Norwegian potato-based variation of the spirit, was shipped from Norway bound for the East Indies. It failed to sell in that part of the world and was returned to Norway in 1807. When the aquavit was opened and sampled upon its return, its drinkers deemed that the constant rolling of the sherry barrels for two years, as well as temperature fluctuation on the ship, had matured the spirit, creating a darker, smoother and sweeter aquavit.
On June 29, The Hardware Distillery Co. will hold its own version of this historic event: The third annual Fjordin Crossin will take place at 1 p.m., when a barrel of aged dill aquavit will set sail on board the 34-foot cabin cruiser Twanoh. It will cross Hood Canal from Hoodsport to Tahuya before returning, to be tasted neat or in cocktails at a 21-and-older Aquavit Garden set up at the Port of Hoodsport and sponsored by Harmony Hill Retreat Center. Additional events will take place between 2:30 and 5 p.m., including a post-sailing party in Hoodsport, cooking demonstrations at Olympic Stove & Spas and a touch tank for children. "While impossible to replicate the voyage of old, we have our own little traditions," Jan says.
While the Morrises have been chugging along, producing spirits born out of passion, Cody has been preparing for his next move: He'll open Shelton Brewing Company in a refurbished funeral home in Shelton this fall. After all, there's plenty of room for both beer and spirits.
The Hardware Distillery Co.
Crabby Ginny gin
($17.50/375-milliliter bottle)
Distilled from Washington pears, cranberries and grain, Hardware Distillery's Crabby Ginny has a smooth yet subtle fruity taste. Perfect in a Negroni, the famed Italian cocktail that includes Campari and sweet vermouth. Pairs with: Oysters and crab pulled fresh from Hood Canal.
Bee's Knees mead
($25/375-milliliter bottle)
Made from a base of 80 percent Washington honey and 20 percent fruit, this mead concoction rests for three months in premium white American oak. Despite the high honey content, Bees Knees is surprisingly lacking in sweetness, but has a rich taste and golden color. Pairs with: Pies, cheesecakes and other baked goods.
($27/375-milliliter bottle)
Distilled from the clear, fresh waters of the Olympic Mountains, Hardware Distillery's whiskey is kept in small copper stills that filter impurities from the spirit. Technically a lowland grain whiskey, this Scotch-style spirit has a gentle, floral taste. Pairs with: Pork ribs and dishes made with olives and roasted garlic.

Chunky knits and winter coats don't really mix well, unless you like feeling like the michelin man.
reversecommuter has never fully embraced the Chunky knits because of the bulk issues under a coat, icky-uncomfy!
Why not take the layering to the inside?
Natural fabrics such as silk and cotton work best against the body to trap body heat. Grab a long sleeve t-shirt or even silk long underwear on super chilly days.
Next bring on the Chunkers! Slap on a scarf and a pair of gloves and KABOOM! Instant winter glam without the Chunky Monkey feeling.
Here are a couple of gorgeous chunkers I found on net-a-porter (and they are on sale now too! What Santa wouldn't appreciate a little break on the wallet?) Click here to peruse & purchase!

We provide care and education with a loving Christian ethos for children. The environments are full of innovative and original activities that allow children time and space to explore and learn.
At Amazing Kids, we are passionate about providing a 'high-quality' service within a secure, warm and loving environment. We are keen to ensure all your child's needs are satisfied emotionally, physically and psychologically.
Our programs are play-based aimed with the knowledge that children learn best when provided with opportunities and environments to freely engage with the world around them in pursuit of their own interests and curiosities.
At Amazing Kids, the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is used by all educators for planning and programming purposes. This is the National Curriculum Document for children from birth to five years.
Our menu is designed to vary on a 4 weekly basis and be reflected through multiculturalism and ongoing through the children's voice (foods they like or would like to try). Each menu will include fresh fruits, vegetables, whole-grain bread, meats, poultry and dairy.
We only use fresh ingredients and seasonal produce. Please note that our centre is nut-free.
Amazing is the only word i can use to describe Amazing Kids. I think this is the best Bilingual CC in adelaide. Over half of the educators can speak second or third languages. The children don't have to give up their mother language and feel free to talk. They won't feel isolated and misunderstood at CC, instead they feel warm with them. Additionally, my son was not well settled at first. All the staff showed their patience and support for us. Strong recommended.
Well organised and responsive childcare center. Teachers and staffs are easy to communicate and so friendly with caring heart for children. My 4yrs old son had loads of fun with their well prepared programs. It's such a pleasant to read the daily story and monthly observation report with the focus of my child's overall growth and well being. Highly recommended
We are so lucky to have the best bilingual child care near by our house, perfect location, just opposite unley shopping centre, its so convenience. my daughter is so happy everyday there, and i will definitely recommend to any friend and family. I am so appreciate all of the teachers hard work.
My daughter loves Amazing Kids. Last year, She cried every time she arrived at the center. Even when I said goodbye to her, she still cling on me. The teachers were so experienced that they cuddled her and soon drew her attention. She didn't even realize I'd left the center. I always love to see the kids queue up walking across the road to Coles to do their shopping. They were so cute!
We are really happy with Amazing Kids in Unley. Our children love going there, and the staff genuinely care for the kids and keep them engaged. Highly recommend!
We are located at 183 Unley Road, Unley (a 5-minute drive to the Adelaide CBD). It is situated opposite Unley Shopping Centre and next to Unley City Council, library and historical St Augustine's Anglican Church. The centre sits in a beautiful old bluestone building with high ceilings, cathedral-style windows and spacious rooms that used to be a primary school years ago.
Amazing Kids has a capacity for up to 70 children and provides care services from 7:30 am to 6 pm, 5 days a week to children from 2 to school age. All children are engaged to play, learn, develop, grow and create at our centre through our team of dedicated staff who are passionate, patient and professional to nurture children's development, develop their potential and prepare children for their transition into school.

Honeymoon in the Caribbean – Barbados[addtoany]
What do Rihanna, the sport of cricket, and calypso music have in common? They all have deep-rooted ties to the beautiful island of Barbados. As the Caribbean's easternmost island, Barbados perfectly blends two cultures together to offer visitors a truly authentic Bajan experience. Under the rule of Great Britain until 1966, the island still holds strong to its British roots with afternoon tea and lively horse races. At the same time, this island offers honeymooners a fun Caribbean atmosphere with lively festivals and vibrant cultural traditions.
Best Time to Visit – Since the weather in Barbados is mostly pleasant year-around, there is hardly a bad time to plan your trip. Though for those who want to attend the many festivals and events that take place on the island, the most popular months to visit are July through November.
Peak Season – The peak season in Barbados runs from December to mid-April. Room rates may run as high as double the normal rate and some hotels will require the purchase of a meal plan.
Largest City – Barbados's largest city is Bridgetown. Located on the southwestern coast of the island, Bridgetown has a population of 110,000 residents. Tourists can explore and enjoy the city's many examples of British colonial architecture.
Best Sightseeing Spots – Barbados is an island that knows how to party. Many honeymooners find themselves lost in its calypso music and festive nightlife. Many tourists plan their visit around one of the island's many carnival-like events. The Crop Over Festival, held in late July, is the most popular summer party featuring band competitions and a food fair. The Mount Gay Rum tour and Garrison Savannah Horse Racing venue are also perfect sightseeing spots for couples ready to explore the Bajan culture. While strolling the busy streets, stop at a local eatery for some authentic island cuisine.
Best Romantic Spots – Lush landscape and beautiful views make for the best romantic spots for honeymooners visiting Barbados. The Soup Bowl, a relatively isolated breaker, is a quiet, relaxing day trip for those looking to take in the views or surf some of the best waves in the world. The Animal Flower Cave and Andromeda Botanical Gardens are two other places to make sure to put on the top of your list.
Where to Stay – Couples will enjoy the many resorts doting the island along with all the amenities they offer guests. Sandy Lane is by far the most highly-praised hotel in Barbados. Visitors enjoy its luxurious accommodations and lavish recreational facilities. Although pricey, people rave about the tasty meals served at its four onsite restaurants. The House by Elegant Hotels is another popular option for visitors. This adult-only resort offers a relaxing massage upon your arrival along with afternoon tea and complimentary water sports such as waterskiing and snorkeling.
Transportation – Many tourists find renting a car for their visit the most economical choice. Although taxi services are easy and accessible, their steep fares are set by the government. Driving is on the left in Barbados and those wishing to rent a car will need to acquire a $10 BBD temporary rental permit from their car rental agency.
If you want to embrace the Bajan flair on your honeymoon, contact Windermere to help plan your visit. We specialize in arranging romantic Caribbean honeymoons for couples looking to enjoy a relaxing, romantic vacation.[addtoany]

Critically evaluate the assertion that "auditing e-business is no different from auditing any other business
For me to be able to answer the question I must first understand what e-business is and how different it is to traditional business. An e-business is the delivery of information, products/services or payments via telephone line, computer networks or any other means. It is the application of technology towards the automation of e-business transactions and work flows. E-business is also a tool that addresses the desire of firms, consumers and management to cut service costs while improving the quality ofgoods and increasing the spread of service delivery. An e-business can either be totally electronic, for example Yahoo, or can be part traditional and part electronic, like HMV (they have high street stores and an online shop).
The framework for an e-business is quite different to a traditional styled business. Firstly they would have their application, which could be many things including home shopping, remote banking, and video on demand.
Next e-business must deal with security issues, electronic payment and catalogs. Another part of the framework involves the messaging and information distribution infrastructure; EDI, email, hypertext transfer protocol. Then comes the multimedia content and network publishing infrastructure use by the e-business; HTML, JAVA and world wide web. The final brick in the framework of an e-business is the network infrastructure; this may be telecom, cable TV, wireless or the internet.
Other issues, which are relevant for an e-business are to set technical standards for documents, security and network protocols, and also public policy legal and private issues.
An e-business possesses many new problems for an auditor to encounter. While the basic principle and procedures underlying the audit of a company carrying out e-business are the same as any other, auditors may need to acquire or...

Fela's daughter cautions man who said Davido is a better singer than her father
Motunrayo Anikulapo Kuti, the daughter of the late Nigerian music icon, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has replied a man who compared her father to Davido.
Efe Kpokpogri, a netizen had said "Davido is better" than Fela – this angered Motunrayo and she made her feelings known.
See below,
This isn't the first time Fela's daughter would be reacting to issues concerning Davido – last year she narrated an encounter she had with him at the New Afrika Shrine.
"Last week, I contacted an Instagram page that has been promoting Davido to post and promote a content I've and they said since I'm Fela's daughter I should pay N20,000. I told them I couldn't afford N20,000 but N10,000. I later said I would pay N15,000 because I had just N20,000 in my account and I couldn't exhaust all of it. They made jest of me saying 'Oh, Fela's daughter had only N20,000 in her account'. This is one of the reasons I don't like him; I've never liked him."
"There was a time he came to Afrikan Shrine and sat on my chair; I told him he was sitting on my chair that I was older than him with more than 8 years, that, he should get up for me. I advised him not to think that because he's Davido he can just come and sit on my chair. He eventually stood up though."
"I don't think Davido is a good artiste, I don't like him. I've never related to his songs because he usually sings about girls, love, money and I'm not interested in that kind of music. I want music that would give me intelligence, music that would make me feel okay when I'm in a particular situation, not songs that would be telling me about a woman, a gold digger, an expensive shoe, accessory or whatever

There are a couple of things to do today. the first is to wish Fourbearsjr the bestest of birthdays, you only turn 50 once bro, enjoy it.
And the second is to drop a meaty slice of nu-disco funk on you. In all honesty it's been a really difficult week, hence the lack of posting and it's all culminated in me having to take a day off sick to close the week out. In among lounging and sleeping I've been spending some time listening to some new(ish) music (on a low volume) in a dark room, and a track that got an insane amount of rewinds is today's choice.
As most people know i'm a big 80's fan so the minute the slightly syncopated rhythm and those big fat filtered FM stabs drifted through I new I was hooked. Funnily I was thinking about things and I don't think we feature songs on here as much as we should, certainly I opt for instrumentals quite often, yeah the occasional vocal track creeps through but even then it's usually about the music behind it. So it's really nice to feature a genuine vocal based track, with Brighton based J-Felix's sultry smokey vocal drifting up with it's messages to enjoy yourself whilst you can.
Ultimately Keep On is a great slice of Zappesque Troutman, Jam and lewis inspired modern funk, backed with a coupe of other super tracks. It's out on the great Tru Thoughts label, who we are massive fans of anyway.
