I am fine. The kitties are fine. Good to hear. Many of us who've been here for a while are familiar with your periodic bouts of melancholia, but every once in a while, you post something that raises the hair on the back of my neck, or sets off alarm bells in others. We do care, and we do get concerned when your posts turn really dark. |

Winning on a warm sunny Saturday. Our Flag Retirement Ceremony last evening was well-attended. About 70 people attended. We retired 30 flags at the Ceremony, and collected over 100 more for later disposal. A good result. Now off to breakfast and Saturday Cup of Jazz. |

Observation of CreditNew Impact
(Message 1381399)

We were assured that thing would return to "normal" after a couple of weeks when "the system had stabilised". Somehow, it appears the system is stabilising on the wrong side of the "S" curve. In one of the v7 rollout threads, either William or Richard were guesstimating 5-6 weeks for credit and RAC to stabilize. |

How do I make time of day restrictions work?
(Message 1381397)
Posted 4 days ago by Donald L. Johnson
In your "Activity" tab, there are 3 choices: Run Always, Run based on Preferences, and Suspend. If you want to set "Time of Day" restrictions, you must click "Run Based on Preferences". edit] And MarkJ is a couple minutes faster than me. |

Winning on a warm almost-summer afternoon. Back from funeral duty, relaxing before Flag Retirement ceremonies tonight. Hoping for a quiet, productive weekend in the back yard & garden. |

The train thread
(Message 1381156)
Posted 4 days ago by Donald L. Johnson
BREAKING NEWS: STB grants the exemption sought by the CHSRA (really, really long URL): Maybe I should have put Eminent Domain in bold. California Environmental Quality Act reviews are a whole different issue, and any proposed changes may not become law, and could not be applied retroactively. The ONLY section where the route is finalized and property aquisition has begun is the section just north of Fresno. All of the proposed routes through the San Joaquin Valley invole 100s of farms that would be cut in half by the right-of-way, and with the proposed grade separation, many of those farmers would lose effective access to the other half of their land. The Eminent Domain court battles are expected to be long and costly once they start. California High Speed Rail is NOT a done deal, and may never be. Now I suggest we end this discussion of a train that may never be, and stick to trains that actually are. |

Observation of CreditNew Impact
(Message 1381133)
Posted 4 days ago by Donald L. Johnson
Its a matter of principle. In the real world (which very few in this project seem to live in) if somebody - say for instance your employer wanted you to carry on working just as hard as you were before only now for 50% less pay. Would you do it? Of course your would not and this is exactly same. Our credit has been cut with no democratic vote to ask would we even mind. And for the benefit of any others who may read this discussion for pleasure or enlightenment, I'd like to address the OTHER Gross Conceptual Error in his argument - Our credit has been cut with no democratic vote to ask would we even mind. As Eric has stated elsewhere, the drop in Credit granted was an artifact of CreditNew, not a purposeful act by the Seti@Home developers. An unintended consequence - Murphy strikes again. And even though both Eric and the Lunatics developers listen and respond to what is said here on the Forums, this project is most defintiely NOT run as a democracy - nor should it be. It is a science project, and the science must take precedence. |

BREAKING NEWS: STB grants the exemption sought by the CHSRA (really, really long URL): At the risk of getting these posts moved to Politics, I say Don't bet on it. A lot of the route is still not finalized, so not much of the right-of-way has been acquired. I expect a lot of eminent domain court fights. (Some of my friends could have their properties cut in half by the HSR tracks, depending on which route options are finally approved.) |

Beer Drinkers thread part 7

Had a very very close friend of 25 years who passed away and all I can do is cry. We were so close and did anythng for each other and I mean anything. I'm tipping a glass to them. Know that feeling all too well, Grant. Hold tight to the good memories, as long as you have those, you still have your friend with you. May God's Grace ease your pain, and give you the strength you need to get through this difficult time.. |

Winning after a good dinner and some music. After my American Legion meeting tonight, went to a local Cajun restaurant called Crawdaddy's, run by some folks I know. One of the brothers is a musician, and so is his son, so they ALWAYS have local musicians playing in the evening. Tonight the featured artist was Rudy Parris, a local boy who some of you may have seen on "The Voice" last season. Plays guitar as well as he songs. Did an houor and a half set, backed by his brother Abel Parris on drums, the owner's son Kris Korsgaden on keyboards, another local boy on bass, and the leader of local band Mezcal, Carlos Marquez(?), on congas. Rocked the full house. Dinner was Chicken Cordon Bleu, with rice and squash, and a bottle of Beck's Sapphire beer. Gonna sleep good tonight. |

Thanks for keeping the thread refreshed, Donald. It's become part of my daily routine - either just after midnight if I'm up late, or one of the first things I do when I log in here in teh morning. But I do try to play from all four boxes each day, and from the FRA BRanch when I'm over there for Bingo or a function... (If the Club manager knows, she hasn't said anything .....) |

Now you are going to tell me that no one likes Bully Beef either. Up here we called it a can of Diefenbaker, the name of one of our national leaders in the 60’s. There was a TV show years ago, titled "True North" or something like that, about a RCMP Detective who was sent to the Canadian Consulate in Chicago, and did some work with a Chicago PD detective. His dog was named Diefenbaker. I always wondered about that... |
