Loretta Lynn Under Fire for Age Discrepancy
Loretta Lynn has always been less than outspoken about her age, but it's recently been discovered that the singer may not be as young as she claims. If that's the case, how accurate is the timeline of events as depicted in her autobiography and 1980 Oscar-winning movie, 'Coal Miner's Daughter'? According to recovered Kentucky state birth certificates and marriage licenses for Loretta Webb Lynn, pivotal information woven into the film's plot — Lynn's famous life story – may be completely false.
According to the state of Kentucky, Loretta Webb was born in Johnson County, Ky. in 1932, making the icon 80-years-old, instead of 77 as previously suspected. Even more suspicious is the year on her marriage license to her late husband, O.V. "Mooney" Lynn, which shows the two tied the knot on Jan. 10, 1948. This proves that the singer was married just shy of her 16th birthday, not at 13 as told in 'Coal Miner's Daughter.'
Though Lynn isn't the first celebrity to fudge their age, many critics question the singer's motives behind the discrepancy, considering that the events of her teenage years were woven deeply into the movie's plot. According to Lynn, she was married by the age of 13 and had four children by the age of 18. Her specific age was never disclosed.
"When I was born, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the president for several years. That's the closest I'm gonna come to telling my age in this book, so don't go looking for it," Lynn writes. "I'm trying to make a living singing songs. I don't need nobody out there saying, 'She don't look bad considering she's such-and-such years old.'"
Trying to obtain an official statement concerning the controversy yielded similar results. Lynn's spokesperson, Nancy Russell, tells the AP that Lynn refuses to discuss her age entirely. "If anyone asks how old I am, tell them it's none of their business!" says the feisty singer.
Lynn's co-author on 'Coal Miner's Daughter,' New York Times sports columnist George Vecsey, has also confessed he didn't verify the exact ages before publishing the 1976 autobiography.
"It's her book, and I never saw a birth certificate, marriage license. It's what they told me," he said in a phone interview with the Associated Press. "I couldn't say that she was the one who told me first. Between her manager (David Skepner) who has passed and her husband who has now passed, it was at least three different people telling me that."
Music journalist and author Robert K. Oermann defends Lynn's honor as a female pioneer of country music, despite the controversy. "In the 1960s, you didn't have the 24-hour news cycle, saturation of personality journalism that you have today. So what appealed to people was the fact that the songs were so extraordinary. Her singing was so great. Everything about her was so refreshing and country," he writes.
"It wasn't until much later that people became aware of her backstory, but the music itself is what made her a star. The biography, the life story was just the icing on the cake," says Oermann.
Known best for her hits 'Fist City,' 'Rated X' and 'The Pill,' Lynn has often been cited as a leader in the women's liberation movement. The icon has 16 No. 1 hits to her name and has recorded 54 studio albums. To date, Lynn has been inducted into more music Halls of Fame than any other female recording artist. That includes both the Songwriter's Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 2010, Lynn received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for 50 years in country music.

A voice actor can help make a particular villainous character cool and memorable. Therefore, their Japanese seiyuu with the character(s) they voice have been added to the list by a poster at Japan's 2-Channel (2ch) forums.
According to this 2011 list, male characters make up 25 of the 26 coolest villains from manga and anime.
Rozen Maiden's Suigintou is the only female villain on the list.
Only two Japanese female voice actors (seiyuu), Takayama Minami (Hao in Shaman King) and Tanaka Rie (Suigintou in Rozen Maiden), voice any of the 26 coolest manga and anime villains.
P.S. Known for dressing up as many of the characters she voices in anime, video games and whatnot, as well as a number of other fictional characters, Tanaka Rie's cosplay of Suigintou decorates the body of a car in Japan:

The iDOL(ove Live!)M@STER
Without a doubt it's Aizen from Bleach. He carries out his plans quite smoothly, and is absurdly powerful to the point where he can curb-stomp just about anyone if he feels like getting his hands dirty. Not that he ever needs to when he can just use Kyoka Suigetsu to lead you astray, though. A formulaic by-the-book villain, yes, but it's so damn entertaining to watch him keikaku doori everyone.

I feel like I'm going to get smacked with a rotten tomato for saying this, but I find good ol' Team Rocket from Pokemon to be my favorite villains/antagonists. Jesse, James, and Meowth are characters that I can relive my childhood through: I never get tired of reciting their oft repeated creed. One can argue that they aren't really 'villains' or 'antagonists' because they often team up with Ash and his crew but I disagree. Certainly, TR has sided with Ash in the past but this was often for a common goal or against a common enemy and I'm going to reiterate that somone does not have to shoot puppies or stuff women in freezers to be considered an antagonist. They merely need to work against the protagonist and Team Rocket does just that. And they're awfully fun to watch.
I think that Light Yagami from Death Note would also be one of my favorite villains. While he may have been the main focus of the show the anime obviously paints him as an evil character (and even the author himself states something similar). But, even though by the end of the series you want to shoot him with a shot gun, one has to admit that he is so fun to watch (even if it is only to see his eventual fall). Light, by the end of Death Note, is basically concentrated evil juice. However, he is also a genius at the beginning and the way he toys with L and the FBI, and his eventual spiral into insanity, is incredibly engaging to watch. His dramatic end at the culmination of the series is a satisfying end to a great villain.

Can't think of a favourite for anime right now, but although not strictly an anime; Duke from Tales of Vesperia get's an honourable mention.
He's a great example of a fallen/jaded hero who, although ultimately well intentioned (and more so at the beginning), becomes so wrapped up in his persuit of the greater good and ultimate goal, and weary of the events around him, that he fails to percieve that his actions and goal have begun to twist in the opposite manner.
Really enjoyed that game, and genuinely liked you could feel real empathy and understanding for the motivations of the 'villain' by the end. Truly felt like playing through a decent fantasy anime, even if it was a little cliched at times.

Chouji Suitengu from Speed Grapher
He kills all the corrupt politicians and celebs who drowned themselves in greed and filth. Due to his tragic past, he holds a deep hatred for money. The greatest thing he ever did was burning trillions in cash in a building bankrupting an entire country affecting a dozen others financially. He may have lost the final battle but he won the war.

My favorite antagonist, in terms of pure evil, would be:
My favorite antaonist(s), in terms of a pure guilty pleasure, would be:
Ray and Charles Beams from Eureka Seven. Instead of this brain vomit called Ao, Bones should have given us a 26 episode story focused on Ray and Charles adventures, prior to being cursed to meet their doom so a whiny, snot-faced, protagonist could grow as a character.
Actually, there's such a long list of antagonists I love, and it's probably at least ten times longer than the list of protagonists I love.

He was by far, one of the most despicable psychos in anime I've ever seen.
Hard to think of anyone else that made me wish death on him/her so badly.

Top 3 on my list, that's on top of my head.
Hisoka - loves to fight and gets off on it.
Hagoromo Gitsune - will do anything to achieve her goals, her past time is eating the liver's of young girls via the kissing.
Yuzuki Eba - lacks common sense and empathy for other's.
Aya Toujou - enemies of all Tsukasa Nishino fans!

There are so many great ones that I'm probably not thinking of but off the top of my head, I think my two favorites are:
1. DonQuixote Doflamingo from One Piece. In some ways this guy is a caricature of all evil overlord style villains as every aspect of his character is taken to absurd, laughable, extremes. In some ways he's completely absurd and hilarious, but is mostly just menacing and insane. I think what's great about Doflamingo is that absurd and silly as his character is he's never portrayed in One Piece as anything but an insane uber bad-ass.
Whereas most villains are eventually defeated or at least beaten up at some point in a comic book, Doflamingo is only presented in situations that are going in his way, usually involving him betraying lesser villains in a Darwinian fashion, or engaging in some nefarious enterprise, like:
. His still as of yet unnamed power (after like 700 chapters), seemingly gives him the ability to control other characters like puppets, and this ability completes his caricature of the ultimate evil overlord, who i always cloaked in mystery. Every villain has to be defeated eventually, but few villains have been built up so masterfully, over such a long series, as DonQuixote Doflamingo. He's a bad guy so epic and so hilarious that you almost want to root for him, except he's such a despicable, , backstabbing, lying, heartless, ruthless, psychopath. This guy is the best example of why One Piece is the only Shonen Manga I have kept reading even to this day (after like 700 chapters, even after I dropped Naruto, Bleach, FairyTail and Kenichi.
2. Envy in both his incarnations was probably my second favorite villain from any series. He was so ruthless and even sadistic and yet such a pitiful, tragic creature that you couldn't help but empathize with him. (they did this differently in both versions but both did a good job). I thought it was particularly sad and well done in FMA: Brotherhood when he:
This scene really reinforced the tragedy of what Homunculi really are which is a great role that Envy plays as a villain.
In spite of all these attributes which would seem likely to make him a grim and unlikable character, a lot of his charm came from how witty and funny some of his lines were. In fact, I'd go so far as to say he was one of the most consistently hilarious characters in the whole FMA franchise.

Getting ready to think about how to build a 3:1 or 4:1 depower for ss turbine, that I'm riding with a Sector V2.
Just want to make sure I am not missing something stupid here. The total power/depower stroke is the combination of the bar movement from chicken-loop to bottom of stopper plus the distance from the top of the stopper to bottom of the swivel/pulley assembly - right?
Companies divide this up as a balance between being able to sheet in/out during gusts & lulls and depower cleat to trim in-out to control max power in gusts?
For racing it seems like fastest riding style is to keep kite relatively still (unless really low winds) and use high ratio depower to keep up with gusts and lulls.
When you are building 3:1 or 4:1 depower systems are you being 'religious' about keeping the relative split between bar throw and depower strap throw the same, or are you not worrying so much about that - and if you are keeping them the same, why?

|Ellen Sullivan Wilber, known as Nellie, worked in the Bay State Straw Works Company
located in Middleboro, MA, a hat company.
My great great grandmother, Nellie is in the front row, 9th from the left.
"One of the few comments upon nineteenth century female labor history in Middleborough concerns the lot of women in the Bay State Straw Works, the firm which was located on Courtland Street and was once the world's largest manufacturer of straw hats and bonnets. Of their work there, it was written of the firm's female operatives: 'The work was easy and pleasant; the girls' tongues flew as fast as their fingers, and they said of their work. It is just like going to a party.'
"There are reasons to doubt, however, the characterization that work in Middleborough's straw industry for women always was either "easy" or "pleasant" as some have maintained.
"The treatment of its female operatives would be a frequent source of potential conflict for the Bay State Straw Works, as it frequently was for other employers. In February, 1876, female employees' wages were docked twenty-five percent, prompting sympathy from at least one journalist who opined that the reduction was 'a heavy cut when they didn't get too much before.' In December, 1885, shortly before Christmas, wages of sewing machine girls were similarly docked.
"Nonetheless, women of talent were recognized by the firm and promoted to positions of authority as overseers and forewomen, supervising other women in areas such as the trimming department.
"While characterization of employment during the latter half of the nineteenth century for women in the local straw industry as "a party" is highly suspect, unquestionable was the role of these women, many whose names have long been forgotten, in helping build and sustain one of Middleborough's historically most important industries."

NoVo Foundation awards $15 million to IRC for West Africa education programs
Through partnership with the NoVo Foundation, the IRC intends to provide on-the-ground services everything from teacher training to school construction to vocational training that will lay the foundation for sustainable education in West Africa, with a focus on Sierra Leone, Liberia, Cote dIvoire, and Guinea.
There are more than 18 million children under age 18 in those four countries alone children who have spent most of their lives in countries affected by the wars that began 17 years ago in Liberia, and that continued in one country or another until 2003. A particular emphasis will be on improving access to and quality of education, especially for girls.
The key to successful rebuilding of war-torn societies is the development of solid educational systems, which give children the skills they need to become productive citizens, said Bob Dandrew, executive director of the NoVo Foundation. The IRC has a strong track record in the region, and our commitment will help them forge ahead with the sort of work that is crucial to economic and social stability and progress.
Over the years, IRC has worked with approximately 300,000 children and young people in West Africa and currently supports education through work in almost 100 schools and refugee camps.
West Africa is one of the harshest environments for young people today because of the history of wars and refugee crises, but thanks to this gift, the International Rescue Committee will be able to change that by offering education, job training, and hope to future generations, said IRC President George Rupp. We are extremely grateful to the NoVo Foundation for its generosity.
Founded in 1933, the International Rescue Committee is a global leader in relief, rehabilitation, post-conflict development, advocacy and resettlement services for refugees and others uprooted or affected by violent conflict and oppression. The IRC is committed to restoring hope, freedom, dignity and self-reliance.

CECT Foot
50% Off
What is CECT Foot?
Contrast Enhanced Computerized Tomography (CECT) scan of the foot is a diagnostic procedure in which a contrast material is injected and the rotating beams of X-rays are used to create cross sectional images of the foot which helps to form a three dimensional image of the complete foot. This image can be used to visibly assess foot anatomy and detect any associated problems.
Why is CECT Foot done?
- • To detect any fractures of the bones of the foot • To detect tumors (abnormal growth) or other lesions in the foot • To detect deformations and malformations of the foot • To detect any infections of the foot • To diagnose flat foot and Cavus foot • To guide and monitor biopsy or other operative procedures of the foot
Preparation for CECT Foot
- Pregnant women should inform their doctor (and x-ray technician) as the radiations may affect the fetus. If needed, precautions can be taken to lower the radiation exposure to the fetus.
- Get the blood urea and creatinine test done to evaluate kidney function and to ensure safety of contrast before taking up the procedure.
- Depending on the area to be imaged, you may be asked to wear a hospital gown at the time of the scan.

Dear Latoof,
I am so sorry for acting out BUT my last post wasn't targeted at you. NOT AT ALL! I really want you to understand that, OK?!
I truly apologize to everyone who got offended by my behavior. I don't think anyone likes to be insulted. I should have known better, though, not to get down to this person's level.
You bet we are friends. Always have been, right?
Apology again.
Hi Natalie,
As I said before there is no need to abologize. However, I still believe that whenever we have a conflict between two opinions there won't be a need to disrespect or to fight the others' just because they dont agree with us. Here I am talking to everybody. not just Natalie.
Enjoy your time.

At last night's show (which I unfortunately wasn't able to make), a lot of the recent problems were addressed: heels pissed people off, more guys got serious motivations for future shows, and Bosh's struggles were turned into something useful.
Sounds like really solid stuff, and I'm more excited for the next show than I've been in a long while. Awesome job by the PWG brass on this one.

Hi expert,
In ClearQuest, we want to delete old records with creation date earlier than Dec 31st 2012 in production.
When I tried to delete a CR which as AIs, CRIs, DWOs, TWOs, QUESTS as child records, the action was always failed because of lots of circular references between CR/CRI and other record type (including stateless record type).
How can I remove all references in CRI or CR? Now I only can remove some AffectedItem reference with CRI and CR in perl script, and then delete CRI records successfully. But there are still lots of other references. Some of them I know, some of them I don't know. For those old records, I also don't know what kind of references were existed in those old records.

Disappointed. It wasn't very good. Not loud enough in first part.
Then the rest was just sort of Ho Hum. Somehow, I did not get a real
feeling about the people being portrayed.
I read the reviews on this movie and wasn't sure about going to see it. Yes some scenes were a little dark but the light then was not what it is now. The comments about not being able to hear are untrue. Go see this movie, it is excellent and true to the times and the bible. Don't miss it.
This film transcends the genre of movies, to capture the essence of what it took for the earliest believers in Christ (Yahushua / YHWH) to give of themselves to keep their faith and bring through the apostles the gospel to a lost and dying world.
The movie was applauded at close, and the theater was left speechless, people had tears in their eyes. This film was truly sobbering and perhaps the closest glimpse into that age outside of reading the Bible; well made and very, very, eriely believable, a must see, a real faith inspiring film considering it is based on biblical and historical facts, an artistic masterpiece that pulls on the heartstrings of faith, and cuts to the marrow of the bone, do you have the faith to lay down your life for eternal redemption? Could you pay the ultimate sacrifice?
Excellent movie! James Faulkner did an excellent job in playing the role of St. Paul, and Jim C as Luke. The message of love and that it is the only way, was very apparent and true to the Acts of the Apostles. Thanks to Silver Screen for hosting this movie!
Paul the Apostle of Christ-Not suitable for kids, but a great movie for adults who want to learn more about the biblical times. I think it is totally unrealistic that this theatre puts this movie on at 10:30 at night.
I wanted to like this but I was so distracted by the extremely dim lighting, and barely audible dialogue it was hard to engage. It's hard enough to maintain attention to long passages of Bible like speeches without making it hard for the viewers to see and hear. I was annoyed most of the film and terribly disappointed. Oh, do I get that Paul was in a dark prison, yes. I get it was a dark period and film lighting might have underscored that. But the artist direction seems to have been to over darken the most of the film just so the one scene of the little girl awaking healthy could be bright in contrast. This film was a total miss for me. So be it. We are told to be of sober opinions, not false flatters just because we're delighted to have another faith-based movie from Jim Caviezel.
Drama . Interesting fictional background story . .? Violence for children ? Maybe to much .
Y\I'm going to see it a second time, and take my family with me!!

Atlassian Sourcetree is a free Git and Mercurial client for Windows.
Atlassian Sourcetree is a free Git and Mercurial client for Mac.
OpenPyxl is a Python library to read/write Excel 2007 xlsx/xlsm files.
It was born from lack of existing library to read/write natively from Python the new Open Office XML format.
All kudos to the PHPExcel team as openpyxl is a Python port of PHPExcel http://www.phpexcel.net/
== User List == Official user list can be found on http://groups.google.com/group/openpyxl-users
== Contribute == Any help will be greatly appreciated, there are just a few requirements to get your code checked in the public repository: * Mercurial bundles are the preferred way of contributing code, compared to diffs written in a text file. Forks are encouraged, but don't forget to make a pull request if you want your code to be included :) * long diffs posted in the body of a tracker request will not be looked at (more than 30 rows of non-syntax highlighted code is simply unreadable). Please attach your bundle files to the issue instead. * every non-trivial change must come with at least a unit test (that tests the new behavior, obviously :p). There are plenty of examples in the /test directory if you lack know-how or inspiration.
== Easy Install == Releases are also packaged on PyPi, so all you have to type to get the latest version is:
$ easy_install openpyxl
== Features ==
- ** Supported data types **
- String (shared, Inline not currently supported)
- Integer
- Float
- Date
- ** Supported Excel features **
- Names ranges
- Number formats (built-in and custom formats)
- ** Handy features **
- Implicit conversion between Python types and Excel types:
- Dates
- Floats
- Percentages
- Optimized modes to read and write extremely large files
== Python 3.x support ==
Openpyxl supports python (even if some tests can fail on 2.4) from 2.4 to 2.6. If you use a more recent version of python, please use the hjunes fork you can find here : https://bitbucket.org/hjunes/openpyxl/.
== Full documentation== With tutorial, examples, API documentation: http://packages.python.org/openpyxl/
== Quick Examples ==
=== Write a workbook ===
#!python from openpyxl.workbook import Workbook from openpyxl.writer.excel import ExcelWriter
from openpyxl.cell import get_column_letter
wb = Workbook()

ws.title = "range names"
- for col_idx in xrange(1, 40):
col = get_column_letter(col_idx) for row in xrange(1, 600):ws.cell('%s%s'%(col, row)).value = '%s%s' % (col, row)
ws = wb.create_sheet()
ws.title = 'Pi'
ws.cell('F5').value = 3.14
wb.save(filename = dest_filename)
=== Read an existing workbook ===

The Weather Channel is in town
I caught a lot of television reports Sunday from Mystic Seaport on the Weather Channel, even before there was much weather going on around here.
And when I tuned in Monday morning to see Weather Channel reporter Reynolds Wolf standing on the beach behind the Mystic YMCA, I decided to go and say hello. After all, how often does the Weather Channel come to town?
I caught up with Wolf and the rest of his crew just as they were finishing up one of the national updates on Mystic weather, which at that hour, was still fairly calm.
"We will be here for the duration," said Wolf, who normally works out of the channel's offices in Atlanta.
By "we" he meant a crew of about 10 people, working from a small fleet of cars and a satellite truck parked in the YMCA parking lot. They were planning to pretty much stay on duty in this part of Connecticut around the clock through the storm.
But producer Laura Kurinsky said Monday morning they were not sure exactly where the team would eventually hunker down for when the storm hits hardest.
She said they wanted to find a building somewhere close to the water. After all, she said, they wanted to be able to film the storm up close. But they also have people and equipment to keep safe.
I suggested downtown New London, but she said that was too far to move her team.
After I suggested Stonington Borough, usually a pretty good place to see a lot of weather, Kurinsky starting texting someone on her advance crew to drive over and check it out.
By the time I left the control room of the satellite truck, Kurinsky was calling up maps of Stonington Borough on her laptop. The riverside parking lot at the Mystic YMCA, after all, was already beginning to look a little precarious, with the tide creeping up over the sand toward the pavement.
I asked Wolf whether, in all his on-camera coverage of big weather events, he ever got cold feet about stepping into the brunt of it.
"No," he said, "it's what we do."
What was his most memorable weather event?
"I was 10,000 feet up in the Sierra Nevada mountains during a blizzard," he said. "It was a whiteout. That was something."
How about hurricanes?
Well, Ike was memorable, he said. But his most remarkable coverage was in reporting on the eye wall of Hurricane Dolly passing by in 2008.
Because Sandy is so big, the Weather Channel has dispatched teams all over the East Coast. Like the one in Connecticut, they are mixture of cobbled-together staff and equipment, much of it assembled with the channel's association with NBC.
The satellite command truck in Mystic over the weekend, for instance, was sent from Boston. Kurinsky is a news producer with NBC in New York. It was a natural for her to be sent here this week, she said.
"After all," she said. "This is news."

text: Spirited business visionary, Mr. Luis Pereyra Cotapos, decided to get involved in the ambitious project of winemaking in the distant lands of South America. The name Santa Carolina was born from the great love its founder had for his wife, Mrs. Carolina Iñiguez Vicuña. In order to solidify his business, he invited to Chile a group of three French professionals, lead by the prestigious enologist Germain Bachelet, who were in charge of the selection of the noblest grapevines of the Bordeaux region in France. Together with their families, they established themselves in Chile and began the plantation and production at the new winery. In this way, grapevines of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay were planted in the finest lands of the Central Valley of Chile. At the same time, French architect Emile Doyeré was contracted to design and construct the principal warehouse of the winery; a warehouse that would have to provide optimal conditions to store oak barrels in order to ensure the high standard of care evident in the entire production process of our wines. The results were so incredible that the warehouse remains intact and functional today; and it was declared a National Monument in 1973 for its architectural beauty and excellent state of conservation. This warehouse is the only remaining industrial building in Chile that was constructed using the technique of binding bricks with a lime-based mortar (lime & egg whites), a technique that is still used today. Searching for the perfect balance between tradition and modernity, Viña Santa Carolina has developed a constant plan of investing in the latest technologies to optimize the winemaking process. Therefore, if we add together over 125 years of experience, the dedicated work of our group of enologists, and the privileged land and climate where our vineyards are located, we obtain the essence of the successful path of Viña Santa Carolina.

- I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.
- I Will Always Love You from the album Jolene
If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
- I Will Always Love You from the album Jolene
- Now Momma's done away with the old black kettle she used to cook in when I was just little
And the door ain't sprung on her electric range
That little old farm and home we had it ain't there no more and that's too bad
Folks are doing away with the simple things...
- Old Black Kettle from the Tennessee Mountain Home album
- They didn't understand it and I tried to make them see
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money but I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors that Momma made for me
Made just for me...
- Coat of Many Colors from the album of the same name
- You can have your choice of men but I could never love again
He's the only one for me Jolene
I have to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you and whatever
You decide to do Jolene...

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- Troubleshooting the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server
From DocWiki
Main page: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 8.0
Up one level: Troubleshooting
Voice User Interface is Significantly Slow
Problem: The Voice User Interface (VUI) is running significantly slow.
Solution: Check the settings of the write cache on your RAID controller (Default Write option). When the Default Write option is set to Write Back with BBU and the battery backup unit (BBU) fails or goes offline to a re-learn cycle, the Default Write setting fails back to Write Through. Without a working battery backup unit, this value is safer in case of power failure. But it also results in a performance penalty on the I/O subsystem of the host device. While the faulty battery backup unit is being repaired, the workaround is to enable the cache explicitly (Disk Cache option), even if it's set to the No Change setting, and put the Default Write setting explicitly to Write Through mode. This should return the voice user interface to an acceptable level until the faulty battery is replaced and you can safely set the Default Write option back to Write Back with BBU mode.

Apparently, Queens State Senator Malcolm Smith is considering tossing his hat into the 2013 race for mayor, meeting with consultants and political advisors about the validity of such a campaign.
Smith has been making the rounds in the press floating the idea that he just might join the list of candidates, a potential list that already includes some pretty big political heavy-hitters, such as Christine Quinn, Scott Stringer, John Liu, Bill Thompson, and Bill de Blasio.
And don't even get us started on that rumored comeback for Anthony Weiner!
Call us skeptical, but we don't really think that Smith is serious about running for mayor, but surely he does love all of the attention.
First off, Smith doesn't exactly have citywide name recognition. In fact, he's barely known even in Queens outside of his district in southeast part of the borough, so he would have an uphill battle to say the least if he were to try to run a five-borough campaign.
Secondly, his tenure in the State Senate has been at times rocky to say the least, including losing his leadership spot in the notorious coup that left Albany paralyzed a few years back on his watch. He'll definitely have to answer questions and criticisms about that.
No, more likely Smith will stay in the State Senate, or as some insiders have hypothesized, he'll simply "swap" seats with the term-limited Councilman Leroy Comrie, if the latter doesn't run for borough president that is.
That's great, because nothing makes us more pleased than when elected officials make the unilateral decision to just "swap" offices. Don't voters matter anymore?

A year has made a big difference for Ravens offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie, dramatically improving his standing with the Super Bowl champions.
Last year, McKinnie was taking up residency in coach John Harbaugh's doghouse. The former Pro Bowl blocker wasn't in good enough shape to participate in a series of offseason practices and was instructed to focus on his conditioning.
When McKinnie reported late to training camp after informing the team that he had injured his back during a slip-and-fall at his South Florida home, he didn't initially pass the conditioning test.
After the Ravens restructured his contract before the regular season, McKinnie was replaced at left tackle by Michael Oher before regaining his starting job in the playoffs.
Now it's a much different story for McKinnie after the Ravens re-signed him to a two-year contract worth up to $7 million that includes a $2 million signing bonus, annual $200,000 workout bonuses, a $200,000 reporting bonus each year and a $500,000 roster bonus next year.
The Ravens are happy with how McKinnie has worked this offseason to maintain the conditioning that he improved throughout last year.
"Bryant did a really good job," Harbaugh said. "He moved really well in this camp, as well as he moved at the end of the year last year when he started practicing so well and playing so well.
"He looks healthy, and he will continue to work on his conditioning. He seems to be very committed. Love the way he's playing and his effort."
The reporting bonus and workout bonuses should provide motivation for McKinnie, but the 33-year-old seems geared toward proving himself again this season.
The 6-foot-8, 354-pounder has been a regular at offseason practices since rejoining the team.
"Physically, I feel like I'm 26, so that's a good thing," McKinnie said. "I feel really good this year. I'm moving around pretty well, so I'm pretty happy with that. ... This time last year, I didn't even participate, so yeah, I definitely feel a lot better in minicamp.
"Right now, I'm more focused so I can have a good year and be the best left tackle in the league. That's my goal."
How will McKinnie gauge his success?
"When people turn on film, they'll just see that I'm dominating, and I just feel that I'm going to do better than everybody else this year," he said.
McKinnie started every game at left tackle during the playoffs as the Ravens' offensive line allowed just six sacks in four games while the offense averaged 410.3 yards of total offense during their Super Bowl run.
After the NFL draft, McKinnie visited the Miami Dolphins and San Diego Chargers prior to reaching a deal to return to Baltimore.
There were times that he wasn't sure if he was going to be back.
"Yes, after the draft, and I started taking a couple of trips to other teams, maybe I'd be somewhere else," McKinnie said. "But luckily I ended up coming back. I always wanted to give the Ravens an option to match whatever other teams offered. So, I would tell my agent to check back to see what the Ravens have going on and we'll decide from there."

To see adult content (Parental Act), confirm you are over 18 years old
James Black
Not everyone can be a painter or graphic designer; for some of us our talent is in photography. My philosophy is if a scene strikes a cord in your brain, then take the picture. We do not have to agree with everyone's notion of what constitutes art. Hemingway put it another way, "No subject is terrible if the story is true..."
Many photographers thought B&W was dead. It had no place in the digital age...it belonged to another age. But, as we get older we return to our roots. For the last 20 years I ignored my B&W roots, but recently I began the process of rediscovery. It is like finding a long lost friend or relative.
You might ask why B&W. Frankly, some photographs just look better in B&W. If a color image looks bland, try converting it to B&W and you will see subtle shades of gray that enhance the picture. Shadows and shapes are better defined. Its all in the eye of the beholder.

Scary title to say the least and while you may be smelling the stink of link bait in the air, I assure you it is as it sounds. I don't like to cover news from other websites but in regards to link building, I'll make an exception. This WebmasterWorld thread showcases a scenario I would have never thought could and would be a problem. Basically, this webmaster had his site included naturally to Wikipedia and then that page, including the links, got scraped thousands of times over. On top of that, the webmaster's site is an EMD so he ended up getting a lot of exact match anchor text. We all know now that this can really cause problems for people and sure enough he got the unnatural links message in his WMT.
From their post;
It seems that Google has penalised me for this because from their point of view they see dozens of links with the same anchor text. Because my website is relatively young this makes up a large proportion of the link profile and I don't think this looks natural.
I explained this to Google in a reconsideration request and they revoked a manual penalty as a result. A few hours prior to that I received one of those 'unnatural link' warnings without the yellow caution signs. Now two weeks later my rankings have not improved at all for this keyword (which is also my website name) whereas previously it was ranking quite well for this
This is pretty scary and if true, means that the Google Penguin filter has a long long long way to go! Hearing this also means scary things for the negative SEO world. In the past year we have dealt with businesses coming to us in droves with a unnatural link filtering no thanks to shady link building "companies" that are prolific throughout the web. We have yet to see anyone with a problem like this as the majority were blog network link buyers, blog comment spammers and link wheels gone wild.
But aren't Wikipedia links nofollow? They sure are and while the majority of scrapers will append the nofollow code along with the rest of the data they're stealing, we still have a problem. You can even read about another WW user who also had Google point out links from their scraped Wikipedia page being the "culprits".
From Miozio;
I had the same problem when Google spam team pointed at links as unnatural from sites that scraped Wikipedia where I had a featured link. Those sites had nofollow attribute, same as Wiki but it does not matter to Google anymore. I desperately screamed in reconsideration request of such an injustice and they revoked manual action. Good rankings never returned since then.
Does anything perhaps think the Penguin algorithm is ignoring nofollow?
Here's a very interesting tidbit from WW user klark0;
Same here. I got 1 Wikipedia link and about hundred from wikipedia scrapers. The only good thing is that almost all of the scrapers keep their copy in sync with wikipedia. So I edited the link to be Domain.com instead of a keyword-like link.
Let's keep in mind we cannot confirm if this all actually happened, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised. This is where I'll turn to our readers and hopefully someone has something to say about this topic. If you've had this exact problem lets hear about it in the comments below or email me(email@example.com) and we can do a post on here together. I had thought I'd seen it all in regards to link problems, so this is certainly an interesting twist on the Penguin saga.

The Arizona Rattlers' defense forced seven turnovers, including six interceptions, and Nick Davila threw five touchdown passes in a 70-21 win over the San Antonio Talons at the Alamodome Saturday.
The Rattlers (11-1) got on the board on their first possession, with Davila hitting Jared Perry on a six-yard touchdown pass which capped a four-play, 35-yard drive.
San Antonio could do nothing on their first offensive possession, gaining just two net yards before turning the ball over on downs on their own 18-yard line.
Arizona pounced again with Davila finding Rod Windsor on a touchdown strike on the first play of the possession to take a 14-0 lead.
Arkeith Brown then intercepted a long Xavier Lee pass deep in Rattlers' territory to stall another San Antonio drive. It was the first of three interceptions by Brown in the ball game.
Three plays later, Davila found Windsor on a six-yard scoring pass, and the rout was on.
San Antonio would manage only 7 points in the first half, that coming on a two-yard run by Chad Cook with just :27 remaining in the second quarter.
Davila completed 18-of-27 passes for 290 yards in just under three quarters of work. Backup Jason Murrieta relieved Davila and completed all five of his attempts for 122 yards and three more touchdowns.
But the real story was the defense, as it has been for much of the season for Arena Football's best team. In addition to Brown's three picks, Jeremy Kellem had two, including one returned for a touchdown, and Marquise Floyd added another. Arizona's pass rush put pressure on San Antonio quarterbacks all night long — the team racked up eight quarterback hurries (four by Marcus Pittman) and one sack by Antron Dillon.
Arizona also got receiver Maurice Purify back from injury. The former Nebraska star caught three passes for 34 yards in his first game back after missing nine games with a wrist injury.
The Rattlers have outscored the Talons 153-64 and have forced nine turnovers in two meetings this season.
Arizona returns home to host the Spokane Shock Saturday at US Airways Center. The Shock handed the Rattlers their one and only loss on the season in Week 4 — a 66-49 defeat in Week 4.

Day 3 of cycling saw us leave St. Die early doors and head north..we had no hotel booked, and planned to travel as far as we could during the day, as day 4's trip up to Verdun would be a long one..
We thought we had seen the back of the Vosges, but the little smashers had one final leaving present for us… a ruddy great climb as soon as we left the pretty town of Raon-L'-etape which had a moving memorial to its past mayor who had been executed by the Nazis in 1944. The town may have been nice, but the holl the other end of it was a b*&!h, that exhausted us before we had even begun.
To be honest I struggled for the first 10 miles or so, the mountains were still in my legs so to speak, and Steve shot off like a rabbit and left me huffing and puffing away at my own pace (slow). The day started dry but by lunch time the heavens opened and my did they open. We cycled through 20-25 miles of open countryside buffets by howling gales and horizontal rain….which was nice. Once out of the countryside we slipped through numerous small villages, although we are cycling the Western Front of 1914-1918 this part of France also saw plenty of action in WW2. Most of the towns we passed still had their battle scars for all to see..bullet holes in walls, memorial plaques to the Allies and information as to when the town was liberated. and the odd tank..We were really traveling in the footsteps of heroes.
Mercifully the rain let up around mid afternoon, which allowed us to dry out a bit…and we enjoyed some great cycling (albeit hilly – why cant the French build flat roads?) The roads were dead straight but resembled the Loch Ness Monster with big humps as far as the eye could see…until we arrived at a little town called Chateau Salin. We had knocked off 55 miles we decided to stop here and found a little bar/hotel called…something (I forget). Anyhow, this hotel was run by Jean-Claude and his wife, Marie and it had a whole 1 star. But it was dry and warm and we were wet and cold, so I said to myself, Scott my ol' son, this will doo-hoo…you.
Our host with the most asked us if we wanted dinner, Steve declined as he had just bought himself a gourmet delight from the local Aldi (ham sandwich and a huge packet of crisps), but I said oui…although I had no idea what 'dinner' would be.. Our room was 'cosy' but it had two beds and he put the bikes in his garage, which was nice. The dinner surprise was served at 7pm…and consisted of eggs for starter, and lasagne for mains….ooh la la! Just what the doctor ordered after a hard day pedaling! Washed down with a couple of petit biers and Scott was a happy chappie..
And so ended our 3rd day cycling the line…Verdun tomorrow..

Schools across the District celebrated Veterans' Day in a variety of ways. Below are just a few examples:
Allen ES
Kindergarten through fifth grade students from the Learning Tree program at Allen ES participated in the American Red Cross of San Antonio's annual Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign. Students drew pictures, wrote thank you notes, and sent holiday wishes to holiday heroes overseas. More than 100 holiday cards were sent from the campus.
Pictured are (from l-r) Frank Flores, Rene Limon, Delicia Perales, Jason Kuhstoss, Petritta Solalinde, and Leslie Valle.
Glenn ES
Glenn ES students celebrated Veterans Day with a class car show and student performances. The day started with a parade of classic cars with veterans riding in them passing in front of the school as they waved American flags. Following the parade, they all assembled inside the cafeteria for performances by the school choir and the third grade.
Pictured is Kristi Bolstad, the school's vice principal catching a ride with a veteran in one of the classic cars.
Health Careers HS
Health Careers High School social studies department honored military veteran staff members and parents with a Veterans Day ceremony on Monday, Nov. 11 at 8:30 a.m. Board member, Bennie Cole who retired from the Air Force with 23 years of service, spoke to the crowd and veterans. Cole praised the veterans for serving their country and their families for their support. The Health Careers honor guard posted the colors while the choir sang "The Star-Spangled Banner". Veterans and their families enjoyed refreshments after the ceremony.
Jay HS

Jordan MS
The Jordan Abilities and Gifts Society (or Jordan J.A.G.S.) created more than 50 cards and letters to send to wounded warriors in San Antonio for Veteran's Day. The servicemen and women are still officially on active duty, but are recovering from serious and often multiple wounds. The Jordan J.A.G.S. is a collaboration between the 8th grade Gifted and Talented class and the ALE class at Jordan where all students help each other by sharing their own unique gifts. The service members were very touched that the students wanted to acknowledge their bravery and heroism in keeping our country free and safe. Many service members chose to write back to the students. The Jordan J.A.G.S. meet and work together 2-3 times a month.
Pictured (from l-r) are eighth graders Esmeralda Burgos and Yohandra Morales.
Mireles ES
As a school with a population consisting of approximately 30 percent military families, Mireles ES had many servicemen and women to honor on Veteran's Day. In preparation of an assembly honoring America's heroes, the main school hallway was transformed into an art gallery showcasing student work with a patriotic theme. In a collaboration with the campus art specialist, every student created a piece of artwork that expressed not only gratitude towards veterans, but also the personal connection the student body has with the sacrifice and courage exhibited by these military men and women. Also on display was a "Wall of Honor," which was created by students and featured photographs of veterans past and present, the military branch in which they have served, and an interesting fact about the honoree.
Shown is the students' tribute to veterans.
Northwest Crossing ES
Students from Northwest Crossing Elementary honored veterans from various branches of the military during their Annual Veterans Day Ceremony. Honored speakers included Retired Army Sergeant Lawrence Brown and Youth Ambassador for Wreaths Across America, Jaycee Derby.
Pictured are students from Shannon Acap's kindergarten class (on left) Jonathan Enloe with his mom, Lt. Enloe; and Sevastian Cerda with dad TSgt. Cerda.
NISD Technology Services
Many of the employees in the Technology Services Division at NISD are retired or active servicemen and women.
They are (from l-r) Lori Jones, Ernest Vasquez, Nestor Prosper, David Anderson, Alex Lopez, Paul Lyda, Henry Rogers, Eddie Aponte, Oscar Reyes, Anthony Edwards, Art Lozano, and Fred Mendez.
Valley Hi ES
The annual Veteran's Day Program at Valley Hi Elementary was made extra special for one surprised 5th grader. Several members of the Naval Security Squadron stationed at Lackland Air Force Base presented Naomi Aguilera with a Naval Teddy Bear and the Official Graduation Coin. Naomi wrote and read her Poem, titled "Our Veterans" to all the guests present at the ceremony
She is pictured in the center flanked by the Navy members. Also joining her are Vice Principal Josie Perez (left) and Administrative Intern Andrew Morris (right).

Sasami-san@Ganbaranai 10 - The Ancient Dogoo Girl
The camera never actually showed anything, but Jou just gained several points in my book this week. Not only is she set on world domination, she's also a futanari. There aren't very many futanari characters on TV, so having one who's so sympathetic, and in a way that likely makes some mythological sense (though that's less important to me), is something that I'm ready to embrace. The comedy of Tama trying to be Sasami was also wonderfully done, with little details like her eyes shifting as she read the text. I had no idea the gods even had instant messenger, though I suppose Google Glass might be the closest thing we humans will have to it, at least in the next few years. Tsurugi was on top of her game this week - I don't think she would've cared if she found out that Jou is futa. She would've invited her to join in. Add that to the Sasami/Kagami hints, and you have an OT3 in the making. Wonderful episode this week, five stars! A+!

This episode sure was quite the change of pace from the past few weeks. Futanari, yuri, tsundere oujo-sama, sexual harassment, NTR fetish... it sure was a lot of fun. Definitely the most comedy packed episode of the series. I enjoyed it a lot.
Let's start with the futanari, since that's how the episode began. That sure was unexpected. Is Edogawa based on any god/youkai/whatever? As far as I can tell, she grows that penis at night. I thought she turned into a man at first since her chest was completely flat at times, but I think that's just Shaft being inconsistent. Or maybe that's their idea of censorship. Anyway, doujin artists are about to get busy. Sasami even implied in the episode Edogawa would get aroused by the sight of naked girls, so they're already all set. The stuff should write itself.
So the reason Sasami and Kagami haven't managed to make friends is that they're seen as an unapproachable lesbian couple by the rest of the class. We viewers are not the only ones with yuri googles. Tama calling Kagami "onee-sama" sealed the deal for them. It turns out Kagami is surprisingly weak to that onee-sama stuff. Cute.
Having Tama impersonate Sasami made for some wonderful comedy. Their telepathic chatroom was neat. It's closer to the realm of sci-fi than fantasy. I can imagine we'll be able to have something close to that in the future.
Was Tsurugi always this much of a pervert? She was on fire this week! I can't imagine what would have happened if she had found it Edogawa had a penis. She would have probably jumped on it right away. Since she's into big breasts as well, she would have been doubly pleased.
And finally, at long last, Sasami sang the ending. It sounded a lot better than the previous versions which is only natural since they were intentionally bad.

The author is certainly using mythological sources to good effect. Mythologies everywhere, if you go back in time far enough, is always batshit crazy. Deities of uncertain gender is not a recent invention.
Modern fetishes had to have came from somewhere.

As a side comment, I dunno about other languages, but "to kill" in Spanish is slang for "putting it inside that" if you know what I am talking about (you know, as it mimics stabbing someone repeatedly with a knife).

Funny how Sasami is trying to keep Ojou's secret from everyone, even Tama, despite Tama being her eyes and ears. I also wonder how much Tama understands and how much of her is truly innocent.

Oh man, holy crap this episode was ridiculous. And also hilarious. I laughed my ass off.
I dunno whether SHAFT is pandering to me or this was all in the original material, but I knew I could totally watch this series for the yuri service. Thank you based Sasami production team. Although on the animation side, this episode was a bit craptastic.
In any case, a futa is fine too. I somewhat do wonder at the seriousness of genuinely including it in the context of the story, though. Too much of this series already seems like blatant doujin material, I wonder if they can maintain the credibility of the actual plot.

An amiguously gendered deity? Nope, that's not new. I couldn't point you to one offhand, but do some research and you'll find stories of gods who have swapped genders or simply taken "parts" from the other gender as suited them. Really, deities in a lot of mythologies were a lot more bizarre and screwed up than some people tend to think.
I'm not necessarily saying Sasami is in love with Kagami, I'm just saying it's not a possibility that should be dismissed. I'm not sure Sasami really knows who she loves at the moment (beyond the conditioned love she has for her brother, of course). I'm not sure she even thinks much about it. She just enjoys being with Kagami, and that's all that matters to her.
...Now that I've said all that, maybe I should watch this latest episode and see if it completely proves me wrong.

The only link to the human world for Sasami was her family traditions. Traditions that she has now rejected. And with the mortal society also not relevant to her, Sasami has no guidelines left. There are still taboos of the universe that she follows, like "don't screw up the space time continuum" and "don't bring back the dead". Even though in the end Tsurugi was prepared to do the former and Sasami's mum succeeded in the latter.
Gods make their own rules. With enough power Sasami can marry anything and everything, and have viable offspring with a random rock on the roadside if she really wanted to. It is telling that it makes no difference even if Sasami and Kagami become a lesbian couple; there is literally no barriers for the likes of them.

Now that's one hell of a way to start an episode. Tsurugi stole the show this time though; you just can't hate that red-haired badass.

Sept. 3, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT women's volleyball team recorded a 25-11, 25-9, 25-22 victory over Rhode Island College in a non-conference match on Wednesday. With the win the Engineers' ledger improved to 4-0 while the Anchorwomen dropped their season-opener.
Each side traded points to start the contest until MIT mounted a 13-3 run that resulted in a 16-6 advantage. RIC narrowed the gap to nine on two occasions, the last at 17-8, before the Engineers closed out the set by scoring eight of the final 11 points.
In the second stanza, the Anchorwomen used a service error and an ace to pull within one (4-3). MIT countered with a 19-3 run, including an eight-point serving stretch from Natasha Jensen, to put the set out of reach.
The Cardinal and Gray established a 17-9 lead in the final frame, but strong serving from Jackie Gervais narrowed the gap to two. MIT maintained its slight edge until a 4-1 spurt that featured a kill by Sharon Corriveau and an ace from Carly Pires evened the contest at 22. The Engineers responded with a side-out and a block by Evelyn Cordner and Emily Obert. A hitting miscue by RIC ended any hopes of extending the match.
Kelly Schulte posted a match-high 12 kills to go along with four digs for the Engineers. Jenny Li notched seven kills and two aces while Barden Cleeland contributed a trio of kills and blocks. Jensen paced MIT with seven digs and two aces as Obert bolstered the defensive effort with four blocks. Alex May and Allison Hamilos each recorded three kills while May added five digs. Lindsay Hunting compiled five digs and two aces as Cathy Melnikow dished out 16 assists in two games. Cordner tallied eight assists and four digs in the third set.
For the Anchorwomen, Corriveau led the way with eight kills.
