Ollie oop song2/2/2024 His solution lies in the title of the song: “ Let’s forget about the whinin’ and the cryin’ / And the shootin’ and the dyin’ / And the fellow with a switchblade knife / Let’s think about livin’ / Let’s think about life“. Disguised as a fun, peppy country-type song, it is actually a critical examination of pop songs that use death, tragedy, and sadness as a selling point. ![]() Perhaps the one song that perfectly captures my feelings on this trend (a novelty song at that) is Bob Luman’s “Let’s Think About Livin'” (#92). I’ve heard of record companies following trends to keep listeners at bay, but this is ridiculous. It also did’t help that there simply were so many of these singles on this list. Yet while songs like these in past years had a distinctive, fairly personable quality to them, there were moments where it actually felt like each slow song blended seamlessly into the next. Now I’m not completely opposed to these types of slow, moody love tunes in fact, some of the best of this genre are found in this list, such as Brenda Lee’s “I’m Sorry” (#6) and Jackie Wilson’s “Night” (#34). However, I think the best way is that it mostly caters to the white heterosexual teen-agers who would slow-dance to this music at their high school dances (but at an arm’s length apart). Yet it’s hard for me to pinpoint and explain exactly what it is about this list that I found so listless. Basically this year was so boring that Guy Mitchell’s “Heartaches By The Number”, which was at #88 in the ’59 list, makes a reappearance here at #93! It’s true that the chart is determined by sales and airplay more than anything else, but the song wasn’t even ranked very highly in the first place. Artists that had previously marked past years as exciting and eccentric – Chuck Berry, Little Richard, The Coasters, etc. Long gone are the prime, young, vibrant days of rock ‘n’ roll’s early era that filled the radiowaves these days, the icon of the Teen Idol is at its peak. It wouldn’t be fair to say that this year was equalled in mediocrity with 1959 – rather, this year stands on its own as a particularly special kind of bad. ![]() If I thought 1959 was a dull year in music, nothing could have prepared me for the Hot 100 of 1960. ![]() – Great Balls of Fire: Billboard’s Hot 100 of 1958 – Rock and Roll Music: Billboard’s Hot 100 of 1957 My coverage of previous years in Hot 100 year-end lists:

Disktracker file2/2/2024 ![]() ![]() Tie up the index while building so no client can access it during a reindex. But they have poor scheduling, no command line interface for running it out of Cron. I've looked at tools like devonthink and foxtrot. I was hoping spotlight could be configured to do this as it seems silly to reinvent the wheel. That's why I'm wondering if there is a separate tool that could perform scheduled indexing and share it's index among multiple clients. This device has 8 10Gbe interfaces on it, trying to push it through a single machine would cripple it. I've contacted the manufacturer about it and they are not interested in adding that functionally. I've read all the other solutions and this is my last desperate attempt to get a solution. I've been investigating this problem for weeks. Unfortunately none of these solutions are suitable. Note: The NFS feature in OS X is hidden, you will have to configure it manually. your NAS, the Mac server can then re-share the NFS volume via AFP and the Mac server can index the volume for searching via Spotlight, in effect doing a similar task to what ExtremeZ-IP/Acronis Access Connect do on a Windows Server. A Mac server can connect to a standard NFS server i.e.Clearly this will do what you need but it also requires a Windows server and the purchase of Acronis Access Connect. In other words it made the NAS drive both available via AFP and searchable via Spotlight. This was then extended to be able to connect to a NAS server, and re-share it via AFP from the Windows server and again index it for use with Spotlight. This originally added just an AFP server function to a standard Windows Server but more recently also added the ability to index a Windows server for access via Spotlight over AFP of course. ![]() ![]() A company called GroupLogic which has since been bought by Acronis, made a product formerly called ExtremeZ-IP which is now called Acronis Access Connect.See Unfortunately most NAS drives do not turn this on even if they have a new enough version installed, and I cannot answer as to whether a manual option to enable it is possible, you would have to speak to the particular NAS supplier. Many NAS drives do indeed support AFP as well as SMB and NFS, almost all such NAS drives would use an open-source version of AFP called Netatalk, the latest version of Netatalk also has the ability to index an AFP share for use with Spotlight.There are three possible solutions I see, one of which it sounds you may not be able to do and it is up to you whether either of the others is suitable for you. Spotlight seems to only work over AFP at least with regards to NAS drives. With apple moving away from the server market I'm surprised they aren't making more tools like this available.ĭoes anyone know of tool that fit this specific requirement? Even if it could be run, Apple don't make tools available enabling the device to build it's own spotlight index I don't know of any enterprise NAS that allows 3rd party software to be run. Some of the posts in this forum mention that this indexing must be performed on the NAS device. I would then have to write a search tool, I'm only familiar with writing unix daemons not gui tools. I tried looking into the spotlight API to build my own tool but it only seems to cover metadata extraction and nothing about storing the data in a way that spotlight could search. I've looked on google and pretty much any search including "OSX" and "file indexing" leads back to spotlight. Ideally some form of indexing daemon which builds an index that spotlight can search and is periodically run on a dedicated machine. I'm looking for a tool to index the network share and make those indexes available for searching. I've tried enabling spotlight on the network drive for an individual client however the index is stored locally on the client machine and not shared on the network, so every machine will need to build the index, which takes a long time. I'm looking for a tool to index a NAS drive shared among a team of Mac designers connected via NFS.

Reading eagle2/2/2024 These convictions indicate that the jury has held the leaders of this organization responsible for their acts of violence and drug trafficking, and as a result they will never be a threat to our community again.” “Today’s verdict indicates a very successful prosecution of this violent DTO that created mayhem in our community. “We appreciate the partnership between the Berks County District Attorney’s Office and the United States Attorney’s office of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in the prosecution of this violent Drug Trafficking Organization (DTO),” said Berks County District Attorney Adams. I want to thank them and all of our local law enforcement partners here in Berks County as we work together to prosecute violent drug trafficking organizations like Trinidad in order to keep the Reading community safe.” “These convictions, after years of investigation and preparation, would not have been possible without the partnership of District Attorney Adams and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “These three defendants, members of the Trinidad gang, have been convicted by a jury of some of the most serious charges that exist under federal law with penalties of equal gravity,” said U.S. The indictments detailed the defendants using a number of buildings, residences, firearms and acts of violence to further their drug dealing efforts in and around Reading, including kidnapping and/or shooting multiple individuals in 20 conspiring to shoot and kill Miguel Reyes on Decemkidnaping, shooting, and killing Hector Gonzalez-Rivera on Januand shooting and killing Jarlyn Lantigua-Tejada, Juan Rodriguez, Nelson Onofre, and Joshua Santos on January 28, 2018. Over 15 defendants were charged in a series of indictments stemming from a years’ long investigation into the receipt, processing, and distribution of methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, and crack cocaine. All three defendants were convicted of federal murder and weapons charges relating to the quadruple homicide. Adams announced today during a press conference in the Berks County Courthouse that Jesus Feliciano-Trinidad, 33 Dewayne Quinones, 29 and Mayco Alvarez-Jackson, 25 all of Reading, PA, were convicted at trial of murder, kidnapping, drug distribution and firearms offenses arising from their involvement with a Reading-area drug trafficking organization which was responsible for multiple homicides, kidnapping, and conspiracies to kidnap in 20, including a quadruple homicide which occurred on January 28, 2018.

Pittsburgh hidden water park2/2/2024 ![]() ![]() Not sure if we’ll be buying season passes after the last few trips there being so terrible.A casual visitor to North Park could easily mistake the 101-foot-tall, bullet-shaped structure near the Lodge pavilion as nothing more than a rusting, abandoned curiosity.īuilt in 1937 during the Works Progress Administration, the cylindrical steel tank along North Ridge Road - officially known as the Allegheny County North Park Water Supply System Standpipe - once held a 300,000 gallon supply of water for the park.īefore being shuttered by Allegheny County in the early 1970s because it was deteriorating and becoming dangerous, visitors could climb the 154-step staircase spiraling up the exterior of the 25-foot diameter tank to an observation deck. Her customer service was on point! Wish I would have caught her name! But her momma should be proud! The dip n dots was so frost bitten that it didn’t even taste like banana split. ![]() I would like to give a shout out to the nice young lady at dip n dots that served even though she was already on her way out the door for her scheduled break. Very disappointed with our overall experience at the park the past few times we visited. Tubes at the exit were stacked so high blocking the exit to get off the lazy river. The lazy river was filthy, tons of bugs, leaves and other Debris all throughout the water. Cheese was Luke warm, fries were soggy as well. When I returned the pizza, the response from the worker was oh yea they all look and taste like that!!! No apology, just offered to give me another personal pan that looked and tasted the same exact way!!! Potatoe patch fries were less then appetizing. The pizza was burnt to a crisp, the dough was soggy and tasted like cardboard. I would return and recommend to others.Īs a season pass holder for many many years, my family and I are becoming more and more disappointed in the water park! Visited today and spent well over 80 bucks for food and drinks. The food is pricey but what park isn’t just plan your visit accordingly we ate at red Robin in the waterfront before we came in and just got a snack of fries and some drinks. There are lockers even if a bit pricey to store your belongings. There is plenty of seating and a nice boardwalk atmosphere. The whole place seemed spruced up and clean compared to years ago. ![]() It wasStill fun to walk around and enjoy the atmosphere. I wish they had some thing more for adults or people that don’t do as much as I didn’t do all the slides. It did seem a bit pricey as on sale it was still $53 I believe. I just did the one day pass as an adult as I won’t go much to the parks. My daughter and her friend opted to buy the premium passes that are good for Kennywood Idlewild and Sandcastle you also get the free parking a souvenir cup for refills and discounts on food and souvenirs. We found plenty of other things to do between the pool the wave pool and the other slides. The new slide is not up and running yet either as it is still being built. That being said the lazy river was closed I think due to flooding as was another slide. It was the perfect day hot enough to swim but not boiling hot and because it was still early in the season the park was busy but not packed. I brought her and a friend back now as teens. We hadn’t been here in 15 years when my daughter was a toddler.
