Please Don't Grow Up Too Fast
>> Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Dear Sam,
I can't believe you are now two and a half years old. It amazes me each time I look at you and see how much you've grown. While you were growing, I know that I have both my shortcomings and glories. Please forgive Mommy for the things that she may have overlooked. I know I could have done better with feeding you the right kind of food when you were still small. You wouldn't have the difficulty of eating with other kids now that you are going to Kindergarten. I know I could have done a better job of regularly cleaning your mouth and brushing your teeth the moment your first tooth came out. You wouldn't resist brushing your teeth before you go to bed these days. I know I could have trained you with drinking your milk from a cup when you were able enough to use one. You wouldn't be drinking from a feeding bottle these days. I know I could have been more firm when it comes to implementing rules. You wouldn't have difficulty cooperating and listening to instructions. But perhaps, I love you too much to be lenient with you at such a young age. I know I should have done better but I did not. And I am sorry. I hope that you will learn to adjust well... that you will be fine while you are at the Kindergarten.
Know that you always make me proud because you have the capacity to adjust to the situation that you are in. I saw how you can get along easily with other kids and the thought that my little girl is making friends always gives a smile on my face and leaves me beaming with pride. I always find your genuine interest in people touching and I hope that you never lose that attitude as you grow older and more aware of your surroundings and the people around you. I know that I have to allow other people into your life and take a little step back so that I won't get in the way of your learning other things. I also know now that I cannot totally shield and protect you from the outside world and so I promise to guide you in every way I can.
Just know that your Daddy and I only want what's best for you. And so we pray that God will give us enough strength and love to guide you in your journey. We love you Sam. You will always be our little girl. So please don't grow up too fast.

Daily Slice: Mimi's Pizza & Restaurant, Upper East Side
A different slice profiled each day.
The Pizza Cognition Theory states that "the first slice of pizza a child sees and tastes...becomes, for him, pizza." If this theory is true, then the pizza at Mimi's is how I think pizza should taste. Or, rather, Mimi's circa 1975.
Back then, on special occasions, we would get a pie from Mimi's at 84th and Lex, four blocks from where we lived. Mom would re-heat the pie, even though the pizza did not have time to cool significantly on the way home. Still, this is how I first understood pizza: you ordered at a counter, and it was served by the slice to some, and as a full pie to others. I saw pies being made from scratch and I wondered, "is that my pie, or is it going to be sliced and sold as slices to all the other people waiting here?" And while I watched pies being made over and over, I felt a little short-changed that I never saw anyone toss pizza dough in the air like they did in cartoons.
Since my childhood, Mimi's has changed. They took over the storefront next door and added table service. The variety of pizzas and toppings has expanded beyond the simple New York-style vs. Sicilian.
However, some things remain the same. There are still a variety of celebrity photographs on the walls, presumably former patrons. When I was a child, Paul McCartney was featured prominently, and while I did not see any autographed head shots of the Beatle on my last visit, Paul Sorvino and Mario Cuomo were represented above the counter, along with team photos of the Italian national football team that I remembered from years ago. The clientele hasn't really changed either. Mimi's is squarely in the heart of the Upper East Side, and it remains one of the few places I can remember where the doormen and porters eat at the same counters as the residents of the buildings where they work. On my most recent visit I also noticed a fair number of livery drivers eyeing their black cars, double parked on Lexington Avenue as they waited for their slices.
Did the slice live up to my childhood memories? Of course not, but it still has its merits. While at $2.75, the cost is above the subway-fare guideline, I didn't feel shortchanged; it's a hefty slice. The slice folded nicely and felt a little floppy without being unwieldy. The cheese had some pull to it without being stringy, and the sauce stayed discreetly in the background. The slice was neither memorable nor disappointing. For those who want something more contemporary, Mimi's also has a "fresh mozzarella" slice, complete with artful slivers of basil, at $3.95 a slice. "Low in fat!" the counterman reassured me.

Cory Davis figured out what it takes to make it through the singing audition rounds after several failed attempts. He has been selected to perform on Fox TV�s X Factor show.
Cory Davis never thought his singing was anything to brag about. However, after a grueling three rounds, he's been selected to perform on Fox�s X Factor television show.
�I always felt like I wasn't that great,� he said. �But to society, it was a different story.�
The Kinston native, raised by his grandmother Emma Core, had been singing gospel at church with his brother Clarence since he was 4 years old.
His friends and acquaintances appreciated his singing voice. Davis sang at weddings, open mike events and other times at the age of 15 and clubs when he was too young to drink, he said.
�They asked me to sing (outside) before they let me in,� he said.
Davis said he would get asked by numerous people to sing with them.
But his experience with auditions made him question his singing abilities.
Davis had auditioned for American Idol on three occasions and got the axe all three times in the first round. During those auditions, he saw quality singers get turned down and mediocre singers, in his opinion, make it to the next round.
�After that,� the 22-year-old said, �I was like, I'm just going to give up.�
From ages 17 to 21, he quit singing.
�I didn't realize my voice was not mature,� he said. He had auditioned at ages 14, 15 and 17.
Recently, he began doing auditions in Kinston, Greenville and Raleigh, but still got turned down.
�That put me down again,� Davis said about his self-esteem.
He said he was singing in Clayton where no one knew him, so he could get unbiased opinions. People were requesting him to come back and sing.
One day, Davis found he could audition with the X Factor on the Internet in the comfort of home.
�I did the online audition,� he said, �and, surprisingly, I got a phone call back.�
When he got that call, he was certain it was some acquaintance making a fake call. When he called the number back, it was the number of the popular Fox show. His reaction was mixed.
�I was happy, but I'm probably not going to make it past Round 2,� was his feeling.
Saturday, the 22-year-old took a trip to Long Island, N.Y., to meet with thousands of people at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum to audition for the second round. He quit his job as a car salesman when his supervisor wouldn�t let him take off a couple of days to go.
The judges� faces were like stone � expressionless � and Davis said he felt like they weren't interested in him.
But he received a slip of paper sending him to the �yes room.� He would be going on to Round 3, which would be videotaped.
�So for them to pick you out of so many people,� Davis said, �you're just like, wow.�
At each audition, there was no music; contestants had to sing a cappella.
Davis sang �Stay� by Tyrese for the online audition and �Isn�t She Lovely� by Stevie Wonder for rounds 2 and 3.
�I was shocked because I was like, wow,� he said. �Even if I didn't make it, I was just glad I made Round 2.�
It was in New York when Davis realized what the judges were looking for; not simply talent, but personality and presentation � �performing your song instead of just singing your song.�
In past auditions, Davis said he wasn�t relaxed and had self-esteem issues because of being a �big� guy. This time, he got past all that with positive self-talk.
�Me, the way I present myself,� he said, �I�m just a happy and humble guy.�
It didn�t hurt to have watched probably every X Factor show Fox has produced, beforehand.
Davis enjoys singing soul and rhythm and blues, but he doesn�t limit himself to that.
�I do a little country in there,� he said. �The thing I like about country is it has more of a meaning than some.�
He plays keyboard, piano, organ and guitar and has been writing lyrics since he was 12. Charged up from the X Factor experience, Davis wrote two songs when he got back from New York.
Now Davis is looking forward to June 16, when he will receive the phone call telling him when and where he will attend boot camp and perform for an on-air audition. The elimination shows are expected to air in September and October.
Davis said � with newfound confidence � he will continue practicing his singing and writing lyrics.
�I know I have what it takes to make it,� he said.

Beginning in August, Northwood Elementary School will offer an arts and science academy for students in third through fifth grades.
CRESTVIEW � Students in the north part of Okaloosa County will soon have a closer opportunity to explore their artistic side.
Beginning in August, Northwood Elementary School will offer an arts and science academy for students in third through fifth grades, according to Principal Jacqueline Craig.
�We were looking for ways to provide Northwood students with enrichment experiences that would enhance their desires and capabilities to learn,� Craig said of the decision.
The academy will provide all students in those grades already enrolled at Northwood the opportunity to participate in dance, music, art, science, technology, engineering and math programs, plus open up 88 seats for students from other schools in the north end.
An arts and science academy has been in the planning stages for several years at the school, but officials kept delaying it for a variety of reasons, Craig said.
This year, though, finally seemed like the year to do it, especially with Deputy Superintendent Kaye McKinley advocating for it on a district level.
McKinley said when she learned about the program she knew they needed it, especially with the recent population increase in that part of the county following the arrival of new military units.
Up until now, students in the north end have had to drive to schools in the south or central part of the district to participate in similar programs.
The academy will be set up inside classrooms at Northwood and some empty rooms inside Richbourg School, a former middle school that shares a campus with the elementary school.
�It already is a state-of-the-art facility and it�s being underused,� McKinley said of the campus. �It�s going to be exciting the things that we can do there.�
The final renovations to prepare for the program got the green light at an Okaloosa County School Board meeting earlier this month, but the finer details of the academy are still being worked out including the type of dance that will be offered and how many new positions will need to be hired to open it.
Craig said they will be going out into the community soon to get feedback and seek sponsors for the various programs. She expected to have more details ironed out about the program shortly after returning from the holiday break.
For more information, contact Northwood Elementary School at 850-689-7252.

The Great Taddy Porter Grill-Off
With the 4th of July – and therefore the peak of the grilling season – just around the corner, we asked the members of Taddy Porter, whose eponymous debut conveniently drops today, if they would be so kind as to share some grilling tips with us. The boys were happy to oblige, picking up one of the largest pieces of steak we've ever seen (we couldn't help but laugh, though, that the background music during that bit happened to be the most un-Taddy Porter-esque Little Boots) and roasting that puppy over coals like real men, with a "MacGruber" reference thrown in for good measure. Even better is the vegetable side dish they chose to serve with it: bacon-wrapped jalapeno peppers, stuffed with cream cheese. Yum.
It's true: Taddy Porter are from Stillwater, Oklahoma. We're afraid to ask them how many "Almost Famous" jokes they've had to suffer during their recent press blitz.

Dell PE 2950, PERC 6/i Controller. - ESXi 5.1 installed/Boot from USB drive. 2 x 1 TB SAS drives in RAID 1 - Datastore1.1x 2TB SATA drive set as RAID 0.
We wish to host all our VMs from Datastore1 and add the 2 TB SATA as a Raw Disk mapping to one of the VMs. This option is at the moment greyed out. We wish to use this as a simple storage no other purpose.
My questions 1. Does PERC 6/i support RDM, if not is there a work around to add the local SATA as a RDM. 2. I was only able to see our 2 TB drive in Vsphere after configuring it as RAID0, our intention is to make this as a NON RAID drive. Does removing it from the RAID help in anyway? 3. Is it compulsory to confugre all onboard drives into the RAID? can I see my 2 TB drive in ESXi without adding it into RAID.
P.S - I understand one workaround is to create a VM on top of this 2 TB. I am worried about several other factors and wish to keep this as a last option

Major Section: RELEASE-NOTES
See note8-update for yet more recent changes.
Guards have been eliminated from the ACL2 logic. A summary is contained in this brief note. Also see defun-mode and see set-guard-checking.
Guards may be included in defuns as usual but are ignored from the perspective of admission to the logic: functions must terminate on all arguments.
As in Nqthm, primitive functions, e.g.,
+ and
car, logically
default unexpected arguments to convenient values. Thus,
(+ 'abc 3)
3 and
(car 'abc) is
nil. See programming, and see
the documentation for the individual primitive functions.
In contrast to earlier versions of ACL2, Version 1.8 logical functions are executed at Nqthm speeds even when guards have not been verified. In versions before 1.8, such functions were interpreted by ACL2.
Colors have been eliminated. Two ``defun-modes'' are supported,
program and
logic. Roughly speaking,
program does what
:red used
to do, namely, allow you to prototype functions for execution
without any proof burdens.
Logic mode does what
:blue used to do,
namely, allow you to add a new definitional axiom to the logic. A
global default-defun-mode is comparable to the old default color.
The system comes up in
logic mode. To change the global
defun-mode, type
program or
logic at the top-level. To specify
the defun-mode of a
defun locally use
(declare (xargs :mode mode)).
The prompt has changed. The initial prompt, indicating
logic mode,
ACL2 !>If you change to
program mode the prompt becomes
ACL2 p!>
Guards can be seen as having either of two roles: (a) they are a
specification device allowing you to characterize the kinds of
inputs a function ``should'' have, or (b) they are an efficiency
device allowing logically defined functions to be executed directly
in Common Lisp. If a guard is specified, as with
guard, then
it is ``verified'' at defun-time (unless you also specify
:verify-guards nil). Guard verification means what it always has:
the input guard is shown to imply the guards on all subroutines in
the body. If the guards of a function are verified, then a call of
the function on inputs satisfying the guard can be computed directly
by Common Lisp. Thus, verifying the guards on your functions will
allow them to execute more efficiently. But it does not affect
their logical behavior and since you will automatically get Nqthm
speeds on unverified logical definitions, most users will probably
use guards either as a specification device or only use them when
execution efficiency is extremely important.
Given the presence of guards in the system, two issues are unavoidable.
Are guards verified as part of the
defun process? And are guards checked
when terms are evaluated? We answer both of those questions below.
Roughly speaking, in its initial state the system will try to verify
the guards of a
defun if a
guard is supplied in the
and will not try otherwise. However, guard verification in
can be inhibited ``locally'' by supplying the
nil. ``Global'' inhibition can be obtained via
set-verify-guards-eagerness. If you do not use the
xargs, you will not need to think about guard
We now turn to the evaluation of expressions. Even if your functions contain
no guards, the primitive functions do and hence you have the choice: when you
submit an expression for evaluation do you mean for guards to be checked at
runtime or not? Put another way, do you mean for the expression to be
evaluated in Common Lisp (if possible) or in the logic? Note: If Common Lisp
delivers an answer, it will be the same as in the logic, but it might be
erroneous to execute the form in Common Lisp. For example, should
(car 'abc) cause a guard violation error or return
The top-level ACL2 loop has a variable which controls which sense of
execution is provided. To turn ``guard checking on,'' by which we
mean that guards are checked at runtime, execute the top-level form
:set-guard-checking t. To turn it off, do
:set-guard-checking nil.
The status of this variable is reflected in the prompt.
ACL2 !>means guard checking is on and
ACL2 >means guard checking is off. The exclamation mark can be thought of as ``barring'' certain computations. The absence of the mark suggests the absence of error messages or unbarred access to the logical axioms. Thus, for example
ACL2 !>(car 'abc)will signal an error, while
ACL2 >(car 'abc)will return
Note that whether or not guards are checked at runtime is
independent of whether you are operating in
program mode or
logic mode and whether theorems are being proved or not.
(Although it must be added that functions defined in
mode cannot help but check their guards because no logical
definition exists.)
Version 1.8 permits the verification of the guards of theorems, thus
insuring that all instances of the theorem will evaluate without
error in Common Lisp. To verify the guards of a theorem named
name execute the event
(verify-guards name).If a theorem's guards have been verified, the theorem is guaranteed to evaluate without error to non-
nil in Common Lisp (provided
resource errors do not arise).
Caveat about
implies is a function symbol, so in the
(implies p q),
p cannot be assumed true when
q is evaluated;
they are both evaluated ``outside.'' Hence, you cannot generally
verify the guards on a theorem if
implies is used to state the
hypotheses. Use
if instead. In a future version of ACL2,
will likely be a macro.
See sum-list-example.lisp for a nice example of the use of Version 1.8. This is roughly the same as the documentation for guard-example.
We have removed the capability to do ``old-style-forcing'' as existed before Version 1.5. See note5.
NOTE: Some low level details have, of course, changed. One such
change is that there are no longer two distinct type prescriptions
stored when a function is admitted with its guards verified. So for
example, the type prescription rune for
binary-append is now
(:type-prescription binary-append)while in Versions 1.7 and earlier, there were two such runes:
(:type-prescription binary-append . 1) (:type-prescription binary-append . 2)
Nqthm-style forcing on linear arithmetic assumptions is no longer executed when forcing is disabled.
Functional instantiation now benefits from a trick also used in
Nqthm: once a constraint generated by a
lemma instance (see lemma-instance) has been proved on behalf
of a successful event, it will not have to be re-proved on behalf of
a later event.
1+ and
1- are now macros in the logic, not functions. Hence, for
example, it is ``safe'' to use them on left-hand sides of rewrite
rules, without invoking the common warning about the presence of
nonrecursive function symbols.
A new documentation section file-reading-example illustrates how to process forms in a file.
A new proof-checker command
forwardchain has been added;
see acl2-pc::forwardchain.
It is now possible to use quantifiers. See defun-sk and see defchoose.
There is a new event
set-inhibit-warnings, which allows the user
to turn off warnings of various types.
see set-inhibit-warnings.
An unsoundness relating
encapsulate and
hints has been remedied, with a few small effects visible at the
user level. The main observable effect is that
defaxiom and
include-book events are no longer allowed in the scope
of any
encapsulate event that has a non-empty signature.
certify-book is called, we now require that the default
defun-mode (see default-defun-mode) be
logic. On a related
note, the default defun-mode is irrelevant to
include-book; the
mode is always set to
logic initially, though it may be changed
within the book and reverts to its original value at the conclusion
of the
include-book. A bug in
include-book prevented it from
acting this way even though the documentation said otherwise.
The documentation has been substantially improved. A new section ``Programming'' contains documentation of many useful functions provided by ACL2; see programming. Also, the documentation has been ``marked up'' extensively. Thus in particular, users of Mosaic will find many links in the documentation.
The symbols
mv-nth, and
acl2-count have been added
to the list
We now permit most names from the main Lisp package to be used as names, except for names that define functions, macros, or constants. See name.
We have changed the list of imports from the Common Lisp package to
ACL2, i.e., the list
to be exactly those external symbols of the Common Lisp package as
specified by the draft Common Lisp standard. In order to
accommodate this change, we have renamed some ACL2 functions as
shown below, but these and other ramifications of this change should
be transparent to most ACL2 users.
warning --> warning$ print-object --> print-object$
Proof trees are no longer enabled by default. To start them up,
We have added the capability of building smaller images. The
easiest way to do this on a Unix (trademark of AT&T) system is:
make small.
Here we will put some less important changes, additions, and so on.
We have added definitions for the Common Lisp function
(for the test
eql), as well as corresponding versions
position-equal and
position-eq that use tests
equal and
eq, respectively. See position, see position-equal,
and see position-eq.
defthm event
rational-listp-implies-rationalp-car no
longer exists.
We fixed a bug in the hint mechanism that applied
:cases, and
:use hints to the first induction goal when the prover reverted to
proving the original goal by induction.
We fixed a bug in the handling of
(set-irrelevant-formals-ok :warn).
In support of removing the old-style forcing capability, we deleted
the initialization of state global
old-style-forcing and deleted the
definitions of
remove-assumptions, and
and we renamed
split-on-assumptions1 to
The special value
'none in the proof-checker commands
claim and
has been replaced by
A bug in the handling of hints by subgoals has been fixed. For
example, formerly a
:do-not hint could be ``erased'' by a
:use hint
on a subgoal. Thanks go to Art Flatau for noticing the bug.
The functions
weak-termp and
weak-term-listp have been
deleted, and their calls have been replaced by corresponding calls
pseudo-termp and
pseudo-term-listp. The notion of
pseudo-termp has been slightly strenthened by requiring that
terms of the form
(quote ...) have length 2.
Performance has been improved in various ways. At the prover level,
backchaining through the recognizer alist has been eliminated in
order to significantly speed up ACL2's rewriter. Among the other
prover changes (of which there are several, all technical): we no
longer clausify the input term when a proof is interrupted in favor
of inducting on the input term. At the IO level, we have improved
performance somewhat by suitable declarations and proclamations.
These include technical modifications to the macros
mv and
mv-let, and introduction of a macro
the-mv analogous to the
the but for forms returning multiple values.
The function
spaces now takes an extra argument, the current column.
A bug in the proof-checker
equiv command was fixed.
The function
intersectp has been deleted, because it was
essentially duplicated by the function
We now proclaim functions in AKCL and GCL before compiling books. This should result in somewhat increased speed.
The function
repeat has been eliminated; use
The proof-checker command
expand has been fixed so that it
let (lambda) expressions when one would expect it to.
A new primitive function,
mv-nth, has been introduced.
is equivalent to
nth and is used in place of
nth in the
translation of
mv-let expressions. This allows the user to
control the simplification of
mv-let expressions without
affecting how
nth is treated. In that spirit, the rewriter has
been modified so that certain
mv-nth expressions, namely those
produced in the translation of
(mv-let (a b c)(mv x y z) p), are
given special treatment.
A minor bug in
untranslate has been fixed, which for example will
fix the printing of conjunctions.
Translate now takes a
logicp argument, which indicates whether it
enforces the restriction that
program mode functions do not occur
in the result.
The modified version of
trace provided by ACL2, for use in raw Lisp,
has been modified so that the lisp special variable
has a slightly different functionality. This alist associates,
eq, symbols with the print representations of their values.
For example, initially
*trace-alist* is a one-element list
containing the pair
(cons 'state '|*the-live-state*|). Thus, one
may cons the pair
(cons '*foo* "It's a FOO!") on to
then until
*foo* is defined, this change will have no effect, but
after for example
(defconst *foo* 17)then
trace will print
17 as
"It's a FOO!".
Trace also traces the corresponding logic function.
Proof-tree display has been improved slightly in the case of successful proofs and certain event failures.
The function
positive-integer-log2 has been deleted.
The macro
skip-proofs now prints a warning message when it is
encountered in the context of an
encapsulate event or a book.
See skip-proofs.
Some functions related to
the-fn and
wormhole1 now have
program, but this change is almost certain to
be inconsequential to all users.

Fedora 18 Release Party Naples
On March 5th, 2013, the NaLUG in collaboration with the Italian Fedora Community hosted the Fedora 18 Release Party; location of the event was the Faculty of Engineering "Federico II" of Naples.
To promote and discuss the new version of Fedora "Spherical Cow" the day was split in two phases:
-The first was held in the atrium of the faculty, a strategic position able to catch the attention of all the people and promote the events of the day; we delivered the program and invited the curious to try and install Fedora distributing the DVD.
About 3,000 students every day come to the University and we were able to attract, through this space, the focus of about 1/3 of these, which curiously asked information about topics ranging from "What is Fedora?" to more specific technical problems.
To entice newcomers to try Fedora, we gave them the MultiDesktop DVD with the possibility of a "help desk" support.
-The second was held at the home university classroom where we carried out the following activities:
-Fedora contest, which consisted in fixing errors in a simple bash script (you can find it at http://www.nalug.net/contest/FRPcontest), the winners were awarded with the new Fedora branded baseball caps and cups.
- A Talk by Giuseppe Del Vecchio (aka Virus on the Italian comunity of Fedoraonline.it), who with his great know-how and communication skills was able to engage participants on the following themes:
- What is Fedora?
- The history of Fedora releases
- The Fedora Project
- The Italian comunity fedoraonline.it
- Install / upgrade to Fedora 18
- Introduction to SELinux and systemd
At the end of the talk, which lasted about an hour and a half, we gave the attendees the opportunity for discussion, further clarifications and details. This choice led to a pleasant and interesting discussion.
- Coffee break: to make the day more "appetizing" and to stimulate thoughts, we offered all attendees free croissants and drinks.
-Install party: after the presentation we obviously gave support to all those who wanted to install Fedora 18 or upgrade their system from Fedora 17.
It was a great day, many people learned about Fedora, others were able to deepen their knowledge of the Project and the community, so I can say, not without a touch of pride, that our goal has been fully achieved. I take this opportunity to thank again Giuseppe Del Vecchio and the NaLUG's team for the possibility to introduce people to Fedora.
I hope this was the first of a long collaboration.

We've had regulary feedback that our company website is slow so i've been charged to do something about it - server is new and optimal so we're looking to focus on frontend optimization. We're looking for something that will automate this optimization.
We are using the Apache web server software on the Linux platform. Can anyone recomend a solution from their own experience? I've read great things about Aptimize WAX but I would prefer a personal recommendation.
Thanks for your help.

difference is that

forced to print past the right margin in order to make the output a
bit clearer in that case. Use

Gov. John Hickenlooper has signed into law a bill that will require oil and gas companies to file reports within 24 hours whenever more than one 42-gallon barrel of oil is spilled outside of berms or secondary containment areas.
The new law, established in a bill sponsored by Rep. Diane Mitsch Bush, D-Steamboat Springs, and Sen. Nancy Todd, D-Aurora, replaces a current Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission rule that generally requires such reports for spills exceeding five barrels, or 210 or more gallons.
The state agency's existing rule has, however, required well operators to report spills of any size as soon as possible — and no later than 24 hours after the spill is discovered — if those spills could impact or threaten any state waters, a residence or other occupied structure, livestock or a public byway.
The spill reporting requirement in the Mitsch Bush-Todd bill applies to "exploration and production waste" as well as to oil spills. The spill reports will have to be made to the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and to the municipality or county with jurisdiction over emergency response to the well site.
The new law, which Hickenlooper's staff announced the governor had signed on Saturday, takes effect on Aug. 7.
John Fryar can be reached at 303-684-5211 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Small Breed Dogs
Information On Small Dog Breeds
Did You Know...
The Bichon poodle belongs to the non-sporting, toy group of dogs.
Chihuahuas originated in Mexico and are named after the Mexican state where they were originally bred.
Because the Jack Russell's mission was to rid the neighborhood of rodents, they also pursued the rodents who ran underground.
The sheltie is officially a Shetland Sheepdog who originated as a herding dog on the Shetland Islands.
The Siberian Husky is a purebred dog.
The Shichon is not the type of dog that should be left home all day while you are at work. The dog is very social and craves attention.
A Shih Tzu Poodle normally weighs in the eight to fifteen pound range.
The Maltese breed is a very old European Toy breed, dating back several thousand years, and well-known in Roman times.

Homeowners complain about having too much storage space about as often as they do about having an overabundance of cash. It just doesn't happen. Build this shed to help alleviate your overflowing closets.
Nearly every home, regardless of its size, has a shortage of accessible storage space. Need proof? Take a peek into the average garage and you'll likely find it crammed full of bicycles, lumber, garden tools, trash cans, outdoor power equipment, sports gear and car-care supplies.
An occasional spring-cleaning can help you reorganize and reclaim some space, but it's only a matter of time before the clutter returns. What you really need is more space, and one of the best ways to find it is to create it by building a backyard storage shed.
At 10 x 16 ft., this handsome garden shed is large enough for most backyard needs. We've added an interior partition so it serves double duty as a storage shed and an all-weather children's playroom. Double doors on the side and gable end make it easy to access the space.
We built the Colonial-style garden shed shown here from a set of mail-order building plans. The 10 x 16-ft. outbuilding has easy-to-install plywood siding, three large windows and two pairs of doors. The entire building could be used for storage, but we decided to divide the interior space into two separate areas: a 4 x 10-ft. tool-storage area and a 10 x 12-ft. children's playroom.
It's hard to say exactly how much it will cost you to build this shed. Lumber prices fluctuate almost daily and vary widely from one region of the country to another, but figure on spending between $1600 and $2000. Before starting construction, take your plans to your local building department and apply for a building permit.
Step 1: Starting At The Bottom
The shed we built rests on a foundation made up of 12 solid-concrete blocks. The 4 x 8 x 16-in. blocks are arranged in three rows spaced 59 in. apart. These blocks are typically set directly on the ground, but we put down a 4-in. bed of gravel first because our site occasionally receives groundwater. The gravel will keep the soil beneath the shed from eroding or becoming soggy.
After laying out the 12 blocks, use a straight 2 x 4 and a 4-ft. level to ensure that all the blocks are level. Shim up any low blocks with strips of asphalt roofing, cedar shingles or 2-in.-thick concrete patio block. Next, form each front and rear band joist by nailing a 2 x 6 to a 2 x 8 mudsill. Set the mudsills on top of the blocks running across the front and rear of the shed. Cut a third 2 x 8 mudsill to fit along the tops of the center row of foundation blocks.
Cut all the 2 x 6 floor joists to length and set them between the two band joists and on top of the mudsills. These floor-frame parts are cut from pressure-treated lumber.
Space the joists 16 in. on center and secure them with 16d galvanized nails. Before nailing down the plywood floor, secure the floor frame with four steel-cabled ground anchors, which are code-required in some areas. Bolt one anchor to each corner of the frame and drive the holddown spikes deep into the ground.
For the shed floor, we used 3/4-in. tongue-and-groove ACX plywood. Tongue-and-groove joints create a rigid floor that doesn't bounce or sag. Secure the plywood with 8d galvanized nails.
Step 2: Framing The Roof Trusses
Each truss is made up of two 2 x 4 rafters and one 2 x 4 ceiling joist. The three boards are joined together with 1/2-in. plywood gussets. To speed up the assembly process, build all the trusses on the shed floor before erecting the walls. Start by cutting all the rafters to length with a 40° angle at one end of each. Cut 2 x 4s to 10 ft. long for the bottom chords of the trusses. Also, cut all of the plywood gussets.
Make a template on the shed floor for assembling the trusses. Begin by laying out the parts for one truss. Align the bottom chord with the edge of the plywood floor. Then cut four 24-in.-long 2 x 4s. Lay two alongside each rafter and screw them to the plywood floor. Now use these short boards as stopblocks for laying out and assembling each truss. Fasten plywood gussets to each side of every truss with carpenter's glue and 1-in. roofing nails and set the trusses aside.
Step 3: Building The Walls
Cut all the 2 x 4 parts for the end wall and lay them out on the shed floor. Space the studs 24 in. on center and secure them with 16d nails. Then cut the plywood siding to size and nail it to the wall framing with 6d galvanized nails.
Carefully raise the end wall into position. Note how the plywood siding hangs down to cover the floor framing.
With the wall in position, secure it by screwing down through the bottom 2 x 4 plate and into the floor framing. Frame and erect the rear wall, followed by the front wall. Then, install the interior partition. If you're including a playroom, as we did, cover the partition side that faces that room with plywood, and screw it in place. Then install the final wall.
Step 4: Setting The Roof Trusses
Start the roof by installing the end trusses. Note that the plywood siding is nailed on before the truss is raised. Secure these with 3-in. deck screws driven into the top wall plate. A central 2 x 4 chord stiffens the sheathing.
Then, install the remaining roof trusses. Set one truss over every wall stud and fasten it by driving 3-in. deck screws up through the top wall plate.
Cover the trusses with 1/2-in. CDX plywood, then nail on the asphalt roof shingles.Eight bundles are needed to complete this roof.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
Install perforated hardboard to the partition wall in the tool-storage area. Fasten it with 1-1/4-in. screws.
Make the 5-ft.-long transom window from a wooden frame and a single piece of glass. Install it over the end doors.
Next, build the doors from 1 x 6 tongue-and-groove cedar boards and battens cut from 1x stock. Attach the battens with 1-1/2-in. screws, and hang the doors with heavy-duty strap hinges.
For the windows, we used wooden barn sash, which tilt in for ventilation. The 2 x 3-ft. windows are available at most lumberyards for about $60 apiece. Install a barrel bolt at the top of each sash so they can be locked shut.
The textured plywood siding we installed came with a factory-applied coat of primer. We finished it with two coats of barn-red acrylic latex paint. If you would prefer to stain your shed, be sure to buy unprimed plywood siding.
Step 5: Shed Plans By Mail
Want more information on building this versatile storage shed? A set of detailed building plans is available from Better Barns, 126 Main St. S., Bethlehem, CT 06751; www.betterbarns.com.
The 2 x 3-ft. plans sheet (Plan No. 2009, $29.95) is printed on both sides and includes 24 detailed illustrations and a materials list. In addition, Better Barns can supply hardware, such as the hinges and latch we used, and other shed options.

Jordan Ward—a former model who had to cut her brief career short after she became pregnant in high school and later starred in the season premiere of this year's 16 & Pregnant—is expecting again, according to an announcement she posted on Facebook:
Yes I'm pregnant again. I really do not care if you think it's wrong. I am married, we pay for everything, we aren't living off of family or anything. We pay rent, we own our car, for insurance, pay for food, pay for our cell phones, pay for clothes and whatever Noah needs. And we are moving in a house in August. && here's a kicker.....IAM THE ONE WHO TAKES CARE OF NOAH 24/7!
Ward, who is expecting a girl, has a 17-month-old son Noah. She is the second of the teens featured on the MTV show to get pregnant for the second time, but the first to have a second child. (16 & Pregnant alum Markai Durham chose to have an abortion, which was covered on the MTV special about abortion No Easy Decision.) Ward, however, has the blessing of Teen Mother of the Year Jenelle Evans, who said on Facebook:
CONGRATS JORDAN WARD. She is pregnant again with a baby girl. I think she is mature enough and her and her man are doing very great so they deserve what they desire :]

This year's a real hassle! While PJ's on holiday, we're terribly busy. Mostly we're around on Facebook, and we try to keep Google+ up-to-date with news and reviews as we find them.
We'll leave this forum open, as always, to discuss everything PJ-related or not, even if we don't seem to be around much these days.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you all more often; I really miss interesting discussions that don't have room on Facebook where everything is quick and disappears just as quickly in the mists of the extending timeline.
As I'm terrible at remembering anyone's birthday anyhow, I take this day to wish you all the very best. See you around

I wrote a knowledgeable observer to ask whether he could shed any light on the suspicions I express in "Jihad poses for the cameras." In response he invited me to check out the footage that the BBC played over its interview with Jonathan Sacerdoti last night. He observes:
2:10 – guy being picked up "injured."
2:40 – same guy wandering around scratching his bits and pieces.
It's only day one and we're already deep into Gaza Terrorist Theater. See for yourself.

Mother's Day is special at the Hunter Valley Zoo
Mothers hold a special place in our hearts, but we're not the only species who like to show their appreciation.
Walking around Hunter Valley Zoo, it is clear to see maternal instinct in action.
Between the meerkats, capybaras and ring-tail lemurs, you don't need to look far to see sweet family moments.
Primate keeper Daisy Murphy said there were at least 10 new species of animals with new babies at the zoo.
Where possible, they try to keep them with their mothers as much as possible.
"We only intervene if it's absolutely necessary," she said.
"We have a baby wombat at the moment who is being hand-raised, unfortunately his mum got hit by a car.

Today is the birthday of one of Darmouth University's more famous students, Dr. Seuss. Theodor Seuss Geisel, a Massachusetts native attended Darmouth college where after being disciplined for less than admirable behavior (he was caught drinking) and being forbidden to write for the college humor magazine. Not one to be subdued (and for that we all should be thankful) he began writing under the pen name of Seuss.
I don't know any families who haven't grown up with Seuss. Some of my fondest memories of reading with my boys surrounded reading books with the rhymes of Dr. Seuss. One of the coolest places with the Seuss Land at Universal Studios, they had the most fantastic Seuss bookstore. It was amazing.
Some interesting Seuss Facts:
- He adopted the "Dr" to his pen name of Seuss after completing college as a consolation to his father for not pursing a medical career.
- He also wrote under the pen names of Theo LeSieg and Rosetta Stone.
- He is credited with creating the word "nerd" which first appeared in his book "If I Ran the Zoo".
- His first book was rejected 27 times before it was published.
- The King of Children's Books never had children of his own.
- He always wore bow ties because he said you can't dribble on bow ties.
"Today is your day, your mountain is waiting. So….get on your way"
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

Serving Moët & Chandon is as much of a pleasure as drinking it. Here's how:
Place the bottle in a champagne bucket, fill with ice cubes and add water. Leave for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Take out the bottle, wipe it carefully, then gently pull away the black tab.
Unfasten the wire cage without removing it completely while keeping the cork in place with the thumb.
Grasp the base of the bottle and twist it gently away from the cork (rather than twisting the cork away from the bottle). Gently remove the cork.
Fill each glass two-thirds full. Ladies first, of course... and enjoy your guests enjoying the magic of Moët!
The assemblage reflects the diversity and complementarity of the three grapes varietals :
The intensity of Pinot Noir:
45 to 55% of which 10% red wine
The fleshiness of Pinot Meunier:

The freshness of Chardonnay:
5 to 10%
of which 20 to 30% from specially selected reserve wines to enhance its intensity, subtlety and constancy.

How Will Digg Founder Kevin Rose Juggle His Tough New Job and Food Blogger Girlfriend?
Kevin Rose has a new high-pressure job now that he's taken over as Digg's CEO. Staunching Digg's user bleed to Twitter a big challenge. Even bigger: Doing this while maintaining his relationship with sugar-phobic food blogger Darya Pino.
The 33 year-old Digg founder is a notorious tech playboy. (One friend says he's "basically plowed through everybody"—including Julia Allison and TV personality Shira Lazar) But it appears he's settled down with Darya Pino, a slender brunette who runs the food blog Summertomato. ("UPGRADE YOUR HEALTHSTYLE") Commenter Gossiplover alerted us to the relationship, and we were able to correlate a March 7th tweet from Rose, bragging that "my girlfriend just made me truffle covered dugeness crab," with a blog post on Summertomato about Pino's purchase at a local farmer's market of "White truffle" and "dungeness crab meat." (Yes, we have our Internet Detective license with special authenticity hologram.)
Sounds delicious! But now that Rose must single-handedly figure out how to use Digg's $40 million in venture capitalto pull Digg out of its user free-fall, we are worried about this relationship.
How will Rose find the time to save Digg and:
Chillax backstage with his girlfriend at South-by-South-west while wearing a dorky cowboy hat?
Plug his girlfriend's website on his very boring videoblog? (See: 26:05)
Digg his girlfriend's articles exposing the "shocking sugar content of common food products"? ("Just for fun I looked up the sugar content of a few common foods and menu items. I hope you're as horrified as I am.") Or Huffington Post blog posts?
Pose in arty pictures with her?
Who knows. Maybe he will resort to plying her up with fancy booze.
Or maybe he'll get thousands of strangers on the Internet to click a button which tells her what a great boyfriend he is. Good luck with that! (pics via DirtSalad AKA Glenn McElhose)

Clover Brewer at Root Hill Cafe in Gowanus/Park Slope
I was already running late this morning, and the Root Hill Cafe is, technically, out of my way as I make my morning beeline to the subway station. But I had a feeling. A thought slowly started to nag at me—What if they have a Clover machine?
Over the last few months, I've been watching this space on the corner of Fourth Avenue and Carroll Street in Brooklyn transform from a spottily run car service to a hip little coffee house with lots of thoughtful architectural details. And given that it opened just last week—at just the right time to have possibly snagged one of the last non-Starbucks Clover brewers—I didn't mind adding a few minutes to my commute by crossing the street to find out and put that nagging thought to rest.
As I approached, what did I see through the window? Boo yah! The telltale inverted-J water spigot. I'd finally have a chance to try this Clover thing that everyone's been raving about.
As one of the friendly baristas there started the brewing process, the other explained that Root Hill had gotten one of the last of these machines available to independent coffee shops (last month, Starbucks bought out the manufacturer and will essentially bogart the device from here on out). And though the shop had only Ethiopian beans today, it would be getting in different beans in the next week or so and then offer a rotating selection to try.
The clever owners are clearly hip to the hype surrounding the machine and know that folks love to watch how it works, so they've installed an angled mirror on the ceiling for your viewing pleasure.
This was my first cup of Clover-brewed coffee, and I have to say, it was pretty amazing. If I hadn't seen them make it for me (the Clover brews single cups to order, and its computer can be programmed and adjusted for all sorts of factors to optimize flavor), I would have sworn they dropped some kind of blueberry flavoring in the cup. It was an extraordinarily smooth drink, with no expected bitterness, and it almost had a creamy, slippery texture going down.
At $2.25 a cup, is it going to replace my $1.35 coffee every morning? Not likely, but it might be a nice weekend treat or one to jumpstart an especially hairy-looking day.

Next Episode of The Ed Sullivan Show is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
For over 24 years Ed Sullivan brought a wide variety of entertainment to the American audience, from future rock n' roll legends to ventriloquists, Toast of the Town gave some very memorable (and not so memorable) entertainers their place in television history.
CBS Television hired Sullivan in 1948 to host a program entitled Toast Of The Town, which would air weekly on Sunday nights. This later became The Ed Sullivan Show. The program originated each week from CBS Studio 50 on Broadway in New York City, which in 1967 was renamed the Ed Sullivan Theater and is now the home of The Late Show with David Letterman.
Among his many accolades, Sullivan is credited for "discovering" The Beatles, as they were in the process of conquering Europe and the rest of the world, and bringing them to the United States, featuring them three weeks in a row in early 1964. The Beatles first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show, February 9, 1964, was the most-watched television program in history to that point, and remains one of the most-watched TV programs of all time.

Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.

This week the 32nd HPC User Forum was held in Roanoke, Virginia. This was a great opportunity to meet, talk and hear from industry experts and end-users. There were very interesting sessions on the state of high-performance computing, the current problems, and what work is necessary to move to exascale computing. It was also a great opportunity to meet many of the HPC Advisory Council members.
The HPC Advisory Council had a session during the HPC User Forum, and I would like to thank the members that participated in the panel, and in particular to Jennifer Koerv (AMD), Donnie Bell (Dell), Sharan Kalwani (GM), Lynn Lewis (Microsoft), Stan Posey (Panasas), Lee Porter (ParTec) and Arend Dittmer (Penguin Computing).
Some of the talks at the User Forum were on HPC futures, not only on building the next PetaScale/ExaScale supercomputers, but how to make HPC easier and more productive. Platform Computing talked on HPC in a cloud and services, and NVIDIA on using GPUs. This is one of the main research activities right now in the HPC Advisory Council – enabling efficient HPC as a Service (HPCaaS) and smart scheduling strategies. Initial results are available on the HPC Advisory Council web, and you are encouraged to take a look (the focus at the event was on bioscience applications). We will extend the research to add QCD codes (quantum chemistry), with the help and support from Fermi National Lab.
We are having our first member's conference call on May 4th, so don't forget to accept the invite that you got, and if you did not get it, please let me know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Best Regards,
Gilad Shainer, HPC Advisory Council Chairman

You'll leave Grindavik as if you were going to Krisuvik on 427. You will get right at the end of town and take another road right toward the lighthouse. I think it is just before the "End of Town" sign. Follow this road for a short distance and it has a right hand turn off that goes to gravel. Follow this road straight to the lighthouse.

- Rocks
Park near the lighthouse. Walk (WITH SHOES) to the shoreline over the rock field. Builds fast and breaks quick. You have to be in the break to catch a good left. Rights are easier.
Decent spot when the swell is good. Sets come in 3's and are close together. Sets are spaced well apart. Consistent break point. Large boulders and sharp volcanic rock under the water in places just a little ways right of the lighthouse if you're looking from the water to shore. Seagulls will almost attack, they come within 2 feet. Entry and exit is tricky due to the large rocks that are randomly sticking up. Bottom is VERY uneven.
In general, I liked it much better than the other places listed so far. When there was no surf anywhere else, this place had some. There is another point break REALLY close by as well if you're in the water looking right. It's too far to paddle to though. Hop back in the truck onto 427 toward the last house near town. It will be a pretty good walk to get there over the rocks.

Lighthouse - The actual break is closer to the harbor breakwall than the lighthouse. A really nice left. Works best on anything with an easterly wind. On westerly winds the point on the other side of the harbor, called the anteneas, is the alternative. This whole area works best on higher tides. Low tide it's just a mine field.

The Omega Nebula: Hotbed of Star Formation
A watercolor fantasyland? No. It's actually an image of the center of the Omega Nebula, a hotbed of newly born stars wrapped in colorful blankets of glowing gas and cradled in an enormous cold, dark hydrogen cloud. This stunning picture was taken by the newly installed Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) aboard NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
The region of the nebula shown in this photograph is about 3,500 times wider than our solar system. The area represents about 60 percent of the total view captured by ACS. The nebula, also called M17 and the Swan Nebula, resides 5,500 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius.
Like its famous cousin in Orion, the Swan Nebula is illuminated by ultraviolet radiation from young, massive stars, located just beyond the upper right corner of the image. Each star is about six times hotter and 30 times more massive than the Sun. The powerful radiation from these stars evaporates and erodes the dense cloud of cold gas within which the stars formed. The blistered walls of the hollow cloud shine primarily in the blue, green, and red light emitted by excited atoms of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. Particularly striking is the rose-like feature, seen to the right of center, which glows in the red light emitted by hydrogen and sulfur.
As the infant stars evaporate the surrounding cloud, they expose dense pockets of gas that may contain developing stars. Because these dense pockets are more resistant to the withering radiation than the surrounding cloud, they appear as sculptures in the walls of the cloud or as isolated islands in a sea of glowing gas. One isolated pocket is seen at the center of the brightest region of the nebula and is about 10 times larger than our solar system. Other dense pockets of gas have formed the remarkable feature jutting inward from the left edge of the image, which resembles the famous Horsehead Nebula in Orion.
ACS made this observation on April 1 and 2, 2002. The color image is constructed from four separate images taken in these filters: blue, near infrared, hydrogen alpha, and doubly ionized oxygen.

Ars Technica's ever-reliable Xbox mole has revealed that this year, like last year, the 360 will be bundled with a couple of games for the holiday season.
According to the insider, who has a flawless track record on these matters, the Elite will soon be bundled with free copies of LEGO Batman and racer Pure. Not a bad deal that, as you'd keep most people happy with one, if not both of those.
No word on a similar deal for the Arcade unit, but hey, it's only September.

Usually this involves a substantial up front sum for preparation
of the "business plan" or some other ruse. Often,
they work with a "book doctor" who, upon the recommendation
of the bogus literary agent, offers to help you rewrite your
work to make it "more acceptable for publishers." They
also provide a convenient credit plan and accept all major
credit cards.
Honest literary agents do not solicit in
this devious manner. They are busy enough with their regular
clients and rarely respond to new authors. Publishers too
are difficult to reach. NewWriters.com gives them a chance
to see what's out there quickly and efficiently. If a synopsis
strikes their fancy, they can take the next step by filling
out the on-line form provided for on our web site. NewWriters.com
responds to this initial contact and sends the information
as well as your particulars to them. From then on, it's up
to you.
