The image of Our Lady of the Angels is only about three inches high, and is carved in a simple fashion on dark stone. She has a round, sweet face, slanted eyes and a delicate mouth. Her coloring is leaden, with scattered golden sparkles. She carries the Christ Child on her left arm. Only the faces of Mary and the Child are visible; the rest is covered by a cloak that is gathered in pleats. The statuette is displayed in a large gold monstrance that surrounds it and enlarges its appearance.
While searching for firewood on 2 August 1635, the feast of the Holy Angels, a poor mestizo woman named Juana Pereira discovered this small image of the Virgin sitting beside the footpath near Cartago, Costa Rica. Juana took it home with her, but it soon disappeared only to be re-discovered at the same place beside the same path. The statue repeated this behavior five more times - taken to homes and then the parish church - and returning on its own to the site where Juana found it. The locals finally took this to mean that Our Lady wanted a shrine built there, and so it was.
The shrine soon became a point of pilgrimage, especially for the poor and outcast. The image was solemnly crowned in 1926. In 1935 Pope Pius XI declared the shrine of the Queen of Angels a basilica. The stone on which the statue was originally sitting is in the basilica, and is being slowly worn away by the touch of the hands of the pilgrims. A spring of water appeared from beneath the stone, and its waters carried away to heal the sick.

Lifelong layman. He had little education, and was possibly illiterate, but his native intelligence was obvious to all who knew him, and he was known for his love of nature. Baptised into the Church as an adult. Married to Teresa Jimenez Castro in 1912 at age 51. Adoptive father of his niece Pepita. He became a mule-trader around 1920, and did so well he was able to settle in the town of Barbastro as a successful businessman. Widower in 1922. City councilman in Barbastro. Catechist, Eucharistic minister, choir director and rosary leader, Ceferino developed a reputation for holiness, and people would be on their best behavior around him. Advisor to his bishop. Dominican tertiary in 1926. A Gitano (Spanish Gypsy), he worked to improve relations between Gypsies and non-Gypsies. He was arrested during the persecutions of the Spanish Civil War for hiding priests. He was offered his freedom if he would renounce his faith and throw away his rosary; he declined. Martyr.

"I have called you friends" (John 15:15) Also in Barbastro, the Gypsy Ceferino Giménez Malla, known as "El Pelé" died for the faith in which he had lived. His life shows how Christ is present in the various peoples and races, and that all are called to holiness which is attained by keeping his commandments and remaining in his love (cf. John 15:11). El Pelé was generous and welcoming to the poor, despite his own poverty; honest in his activities, faithful to his people and his Gypsy race, endowed with an extraordinary natural intelligence and the gift of counsel. He was above all a man of deep religious beliefs.
His frequent participation at Mass, devotion to the Bessed Virgin with the recitation of the rosary, and his membership in various Catholic associations helped him to firmly love God and his neighbour. Thus even at the risk of his own life, he did not hesitate to defend a priest who was about to be arrested, and for doing so he was put in prison where he never ceased to pray and was later shot, as he clutched his Rosary in his hands. Blessed Ceferino Giménez Malla knew how to sow peace and solidarity among his own, often mediating in the conflicts that relations between Gypsies and farmers sometimes involve, showing that Christ's love is not limited by race or culture. Today "El Pelé" intercedes for all before our common Father, and the Church proposes him as a model to follow and a significant example of the universal vocation to holiness, especially for Gypsies, who have close cultural and ethnic ties with him. - Pope John Paul II, homily of the beatification Mass for Blessed Ceferino, Sunday 4 May 1997
Jane, Joan, Joanna
Born to the Castilian nobility. Lay woman noted for her physical and spiritual beauty. Married to Felix de Guzman, warden of Calaruega, Burgos. Mother of four. Her oldest son, Anthony became a priest, the middle son was Blessed Manez, and the youngest was Saint Dominic de Guzman. When pregnant with Dominic, she had a vision that her unborn child was a dog who would set the world on fire with a torch it carried in its mouth; a dog bearing a torch in its mouth became a symbol for the Dominicans. Popular devotion to Joan sprang up almost immediately upon her death.

Peter grew up in a poor family during the anti-clerical, anti-Catholic aftermath of the French Revolution. His first attempt at the priesthood, against his family's wishes, ended when he had to withdraw from seminary due to illness; he never completely recovered his health. He returned, however, and was ordained on 20 July 1834 in the diocese of Grenoble, France. Joined the Marist Fathers on 20 August 1839. Friend of Saint John Mary Vianney. Provincial superior of the Society of Mary in 1845.
Peter had a strong Marian devotion, and travelled to the assorted Marian shrines and apparition sites in France. Organized lay societies under the direction of the Marists, preached and taught, and worked for Eucharistic devotion. He felt a call to found a new religious society, and founded the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in 1856, and the lay Servants of the Blessed Sacrament in 1858. His work encountered a series of setbacks, including have to close his nascent houses and move twice, and the houses not being able to support themselves financially. However, his vision of priests, deacons, sisters, and lay people dedicated to the spiritual values celebrated in the Mass and prayer before the Blessed Sacrament anticipated many of the renewals brought about by Vatican Councils I and II.
Late in life, during a lengthy retreat in Rome, he became more mystical as he came in closer communion with the love of Christ. Six volumes of his personal letters, and nine volumes of his meditations have been printed in English.

We believe in the love of God for us. To believe in love is everything. It is not enough to believe in the Truth. We must believe in Love and Love is our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. That is the faith that makes our Lord loved. Ask for this pure and simple faith in the Eucharist. Men will teach you; but only Jesus will give you the grace to believe in Him. You have the Eucharist. What more do you want? - Saint Peter Julian Eymund
If the love of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament does not win our hearts, Jesus is vanquished! Our ingratitude is greater than His Goodness our malice is more powerful than His Charity. - Saint Peter Julian Eymund
Every time we come into the presence of the Eucharist we may say: This precious Testament cost Jesus Christ His life. For the Eucharist is a testament, a legacy which becomes valid only at the death of the testator. Our Lord thereby shows us His boundless love, for He Himself said there is no greater proof of love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. - Saint Peter Julian Eymard
The Holy Eucharist is the perfect expression of the love of Jesus Christ for man, since It is the quintessence of all the mysteries of His Life. - Saint Peter Julian Eymard
He loves, He hopes, He waits. If He came down on our altars on certain days only, some sinner, on being moved to repentance, might have to look for Him, and not finding Him, might have to wait. Our Lord prefers to wait Himself for the sinner for years rather than keep him waiting one instant. - Saint Peter Julian Eymard
How kind is our Sacramental Jesus! He welcomes you at any hour of the day or night. His Love never knows rest. He is always most gentle towards you. When you visit Him, He forgets your sins and speaks only of His joy, His tenderness, and His Love. By the reception He gives to you, one would think He has need of you to make Him happy. - Saint Peter Julian Eymard
Son of Jovius; little else known of his early life. Archdeacon under Pope Lucius I. Elected 23rd pope in 254. Explicitly proclaimed the primacy of the diocese of Rome in matters of theology, and the current understanding of Christ's statement to Saint Peter: "You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church." He condemned the Carthaginian practice of re-baptizing heretics, and accepted baptisms performed by heretics when the convert had acted in good faith; he corrected Saint Cyprian's thinking on the matter. Ordered that there be special clothing (vestments) for use in liturgy, that priests not conduct Mass in street clothes, and not wear their vestments into the streets. Often listed as a martyr in old records, but modern scholarship has found no evidence of it.

Let's see how they fared.
Every activist probably wishes they could accomplish as much sitting in a hammock.
The Washington Post reports that 13 protestors took to the sky (sorta) July 29 as they lowered themselves down from a bridge to try and stop Shell moving on to drill for oil in the arctic.
The protesters took to the St. Johns Bridge over the Willamette River early Wednesday to block the icebreaker, named the Fennica, from heading north to protect Shell's fleet from ice and respond to an oil spill, should one occur.
"They are creating a human barricade so that the Shell icebreaker cannot get through," Annie Leonard, the executive director of Greenpeace USA, told KATU in Portland. "They are prepared to stay up there for days because that's what it is going to take to save the Arctic."
The Portland Mercury said the tactic apparently worked because the tanker, named the Fennica, had to retreat.
The activism springs from both growing concerns over an oil spill and a local feeling of duty.
As the Mercury says:
The U.S. Department of Interior says there is a 75 percent chance of an oil spill in the Arctic once drilling commences, a spill which experts say would be virtually impossible to clean up, posing unacceptable risks to indigenous peoples and the marine environment. Shell is proposing to commence drilling in this untouched region—thanks to rapidly melting ice in the Arctic due to climate change— at a time when NASA's former top climate scientist says we may see at least 10 feet of sea level rise by 2050.
"In Portland and across the Northwest, we have the unique opportunity and responsibility to act as a chokepoint in the transport of dirty coal, oil, and gas. For years, Portland has demonstrated powerful resistance to the shipping of coal and oil by rail, as well as tar sands mining equipment by road," says Meredith Cocks of Portland Rising Tide. "We view the arrival of Shell's icebreaker in Portland as another chance to disrupt new oil development and demonstrate that any and all new fossil fuel exploration and extraction is an unacceptable risk to our climate and future."
The Root Bridges of Cherrapunji refer to bridges that are woven from the roots of living rubber trees in the Cherrapunji rainforests of Meghalaya, India. Some of them are more than a hundred feet long, grow over decades and withstand the weight of fifty people. Not only are they environmentally friendly, the bridges are also quite utilitarian since the roots grow stronger over their lifespan. For more info, check out this BBC video.
What, no net? One double-bounce and you're making a splash in the River Seine.
Animated Short of the Day: For his Academy of Art University thesis film, Ting Chian Tey animated an adorable, allegorical short "about four animal characters trying to cross a bridge, but ending up as obstacles to one another in the process."

CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals wrapped up their 2009 mandatory minicamp Saturday.
Here are some final observations:
Bengals fans were allowed to watch the final practice thanks to Cincinnati's select-a-seat program. The public entered the stadium and could potentially buy tickets for seats that were still available for the 2009 season while the team ran through its final session.
Although it's just June, based on this minicamp it's safe to assume the early leaders in the race to be Cincinnati's No. 3 receiver are Chris Henry and Andre Caldwell. Both stood out and made plays throughout the three days of practices and separated from the pack that also includes former second-round pick Jerome Simpson and veteran Antonio Chatman.
Speaking of receivers, overall Chad Ochocinco had a good camp. He did drop a few passes, which could be a product of not working with the Bengals' quarterbacks for a majority of the offseason. But Ochocinco looked explosive and had few problems separating from defenders. He also caught a long touchdown pass from quarterback Carson Palmer in Saturday's practice and had some fun with the fans.
There are still some concerns about Cincinnati's offensive line. I didn't want to focus on it too much because the Bengals were playing without pads. But it is a major question this year, so I took notice throughout the week. I felt the offensive line was a little shaky early in camp and gradually improved.
Fullback/tailback Brian Leonard, who was recently acquired in a trade with the St. Louis Rams, is getting a lot of carries at tailback, which could be a prelude to training camp and the preseason. Leonard also caught the ball well out of the backfield this week.
The Bengals made a series of roster moves following minicamp. They signed sixth-round pick and running back Bernard Scott, who became the third draft pick under contract. Cincinnati also waived four players: Tight end Matt Sherry, receiver Mario Urrutia, quarterback Billy Farris and long-snapper James Smith.
Lastly, the Bengals got out of minicamp in good health. Center Dan Santucci injured his foot. Other than that, there were no significant injuries for the team.

Argentine Senate Backs Freeing Up $47 Billion in Reserves
Argentina's Senate approved changes to the central bank's charter that allow the government unlimited use of international reserves to pay debt and will boost loans to help cover a widening budget deficit.
The upper house passed the bill proposed March 1 by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner after midnight in a 42-19 vote. The lower house approved the proposal last week. The law will take effect after Fernandez officially enacts it with a statement in the government's official gazette.
The changes eliminate a requirement that reserves must equal or exceed the monetary base, which had been part of the so-called Convertibility law that pegged the peso at a one-to-one rate to the dollar from 1991 to 2002. The bank will also be able to boost lending to the Treasury to help the government finance its biggest budget deficit in at least 12 years, opposition Senator Laura Montero said.
"There will be a clear mandate from the Treasury on the central bank to finance the country's deficit," Montero, a member of the Senate's Economy Committee, said in a telephone interview before the vote. "The bank will respond by printing more money amid a strong inflationary process that the bank doesn't even acknowledge."
The extra yield investors own to Argentine dollar bonds over U.S. Treasuries rose 3 basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 801 at 11:03 a.m. Buenos Aires time. The peso rose 0.1 percent to 4.3633 per dollar.
Rising Reserves
Reserves held by Banco Central de la Republica Argentina rose to $47.3 billion yesterday from $46.4 billion at end of last year. Reserves reached a record $52.6 billion in January 2011. The government's 2012 budget called for using $5.7 billion in central bank savings for debt payments this year.
The government has used $16.2 billion of reserves since 2010 to pay the country's debt as Argentina has been blocked from international credit markets since its 2001 default on $95 billion in bonds. Fernandez plans to use $5.7 billion this year to pay debt, according to the 2012 budget.
Bank President Mercedes Marco del Pont said that the use of reserves to pay debt is "convenient" for the country.
"We seek to break a logic that no longer exists in Argentina, which is the convertibility logic," Marco del Pont said March 7 in a presentation to lawmakers in Buenos Aires. "There's no reason that the proper reserves level should be related to the monetary base. The level of reserves should be related to what happens in the external sector that guarantees the administration of the exchange rate."
A change to the charter that allows increased lending means the government can take loans of about 55 billion pesos ($12.6 billion) in 2012, Montero said. Under the new law the bank will be permitted to lend the federal government as much as 20 percent of the cash resources it had in the previous 12 months, up from 10 percent previously.
South America's second-biggest economy posted a 2.7 billion-peso budget deficit in January and February, the most since at least 2000, after spending jumped 34 percent last month from a year earlier while revenue increased 30 percent.
The budget gap will rise to about 3 percent of gross domestic product this year from an estimated 1.8 percent last year, according to Juan Pablo Fuentes, an economist at Moody's Analytics in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
Montero said the changes could help fuel inflation. Consumer prices rose 23 percent in February from a year earlier, the fastest among Group of 20 economies, according to an average estimate of private economists released by opposition lawmakers. The country's statistics agency reported that prices rose 9.7 percent in February from a year earlier.
The central bank changes also include a requirement that policy makers take into consideration financial stability and economic development in addition to maintaining the value of the currency.

Secretary-General's remarks at United Nations Global Compact Board Meeting [as prepared for delivery]
New York, 2 July 2014
Good afternoon. I am pleased to join this first Global Compact Board meeting this year.
I appreciate your time and commitment to this valuable initiative.
I understand that you have been holding very productive discussions. I am pleased that you had the chance also to meet with the Advisory Council on the Principles for Responsible Investment. It is essential to deepen your collaboration so that we can make the most of markets as a powerful driver of responsible corporate practices.
We are now on track to reach a critical mass of companies in the Global Compact.
This initiative has self-sustaining networks in 100 countries, with more than 8,000 companies on board. More than 1,000 companies are engaged on issue platforms covering climate, water, gender, children's rights, food and peace. Our country networks are taking greater ownership on the ground – where we have the most potential to catalyse action.
We see this in the Business for Peace initiative I launched at the last Leaders Summit. Nearly twenty country networks have already committed to advance our goals. These include countries in need of peace and stability solutions, such as Colombia, Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sudan and Turkey.
This year has again been very busy for the Global Compact. We have major events to advance responsible corporate practices and investments in Africa, to support my Climate Summit in September and beyond, to tackle corruption, and to empower women.
These issues are central to our new push for sustainable development.
This year we are laying the groundwork for success in 2015 on three fronts: achieving the Millennium Development Goals, adopting a meaningful new climate agreement, and establishing a new vision for a sustainable future.
I thank the Global Compact for elevating post-2015 priorities on the agendas of business around the world.
I welcome your ideas on how the private sector can help turn our goals into reality, and the paper released today on this topic. By consulting with companies all around the world on the post-2015 agenda, you are bringing important insights and ideas to the table.
The year 2015 also marks the 15th anniversary of the Global Compact itself. This is the first and only public-private initiative of the United Nations based on network governance. Its unique role and attributes have enabled it to grow and innovate beyond all expectations. The initiative has transitioned to a new phase defined by global strength and action.
One of my top priorities is to harness the full power of partnership across the range of UN activities and to scale up UN capacity to engage in transformative actions with the private sector as well as civil society, philanthropy and academia. This is why I have proposed establishing a new UN Partnership Facility. The Global Compact work and experience will be crucial to this effort.
Now, the Global Compact is poised to do even more. I count on your leadership and guidance.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.

Spy Shots: 2008 Buick Enclave
We've seen the 2007 Saturn Outlook. We've seen the 2007 GMC Acadia. We've been waiting on the final member of this triad, and while General Motors hasn't officially unveiled the 2008 Buick Enclave, we do have these excellent spy shots from Cheers and Gears. Not only do these shots show an exterior that differs little from the Buick Enclave concept that debuted at the 2006 Detroit auto show, but we also get a peek at the interior, which looks markedly more luxurious than its down market siblings. C&G is reporting that while the Enclave will share virtually all of its mechanicals with Outlook and Acadia, including a 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed automatic, GM is keeping a V8 in reserves for the 2009 model year that will put even more distance between the Enclave and its Lambda platform mates.

Keeping Track of Change
For years, software developers have been keeping track of all their changes to programs they are developing with what they call "version control" software. However, even competent developers have sometimes found it too troublesome to use these tools except where they find it absolutely necessary, and so it is not surprising that very few non-developers have used these tools at all.
The reason that they find these tools so difficult to use is that the rules for how to use them are written with the most complicated situations in mind. For most personal use of these tools, that is like learning to fly a jet aircraft in order to drive a car. There is an easier way.
The assumption that makes everyone do so much extra work is that more than one person will be trying to modify the file at the same time. For your own personal files, or for keeping track of changes to system files when you are the only system administrator, that is not an issue.
The standard program for doing version control under Linux (and most other versions of Unix) is GNU's RCS, which stands for Revision Control System. It has many options, but you hardly need to know about any of them to make good use of it. You can treat RCS as one of the simplest tools on your system.
In fact, you can keep track of all the changes that you ever make to a file with one command. Run the command ci -l filename each time you make a change to the file ("ci" stands for "check in"; you are "checking in your changes"). The first time you do this, you will be given the option to describe the file:
$ ci -l foo foo,v <-- foo enter description, terminated with single '.' or end of file: NOTE: This is NOT the log message! >
You are not required to describe the file, but you can if you like. Then type a . character on its own line, or press ^D on an empty line.
When you have made a change to the file, you need type only one command to tell RCS to keep track of that change for you:
$ ci -l foo foo,v <-- foo new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1 enter log message, terminated with single '.' or end of file: >
Here, you may wish to describe the change you have just made, especially if you think you will want to examine the change at some future time, but it is not required.
Remembering that single command is enough to prepare you for disaster. The rest of this short article will show you a few easy tricks that make RCS a little more comfortable to use, and help you learn how to recover from disaster.
If you think running one command each time you finish editing a file is still too much work, we can make it even easier for you! (Laziness is a virtue if it causes you to work smarter instead of harder.)
We'll use a shell script. You can create a file in your own "bin" directory (if your account is on a computer shared with other people) or in /usr/local/bin (if you are using your own computer). Whichever directory you choose must be listed in your PATH. To make it easy to type, we'll call it et, short for edit text.
#!/bin/bash # et - Edit Text file, while keeping # track of changes with RCS [ -z "$1" ] && { # No file specified on the command line echo "Edit what file?" exit 1 } ${EDITOR-vi} $1 # Only check in the file if it exists. [ -f $1 ] && ci -l $1
Type that into a file named et, without making any typos. Then run the command chmod +x et to make the file executable. Now, you will be able to run et filename to edit and then automatically check in your changes.
The #!/bin/bash line tells Linux this script is a shell script that is interpreted by the bash shell, which comes as a standard part of every Linux distribution. All the other lines starting with a # character are comments, and are ignored by bash.
If you decide that you will never want to include a description of the changes you have made, you can change the last line of the script to
[ -f $1 ] && echo "." | ci -l $1
The reason for the [ -f $1 ] part is so that if you type et mistake, and then quit the editor without saving the file, you won't get error messages when ci finds that there is no file for it to check in.
The ${EDITOR-vi} part runs your favorite editor, or if you have not chosen a favorite editor, it defaults to the old standard vi editor. You can choose a default other than vi; pico, jed, joe, Emacs, and other editors are all possibilities. For example:
${EDITOR-jed} $1
will run jed, unless you have chosen some other favorite editor.
To choose your favorite editor, which will apply to all programs that want you to choose an editor, not just et, you will need to set the EDITOR environment variable to the name of the editor you want to use. If you are using a bourne shell, such as bash, zsh, pdksh, ksh, or sh, you will want to add a line like the following to the file .profile in your home directory:
EDITOR=jed ; export EDITOR
If you use the C shell (csh or tcsh), you will want to add a line like the following to the file .login in your home directory:
setenv EDITOR jed

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Up front: I've seen these:
- Changing hard disk with ssd, can I migrate contents so that I can switch drives without a hassle?
- Replacing notebook SATA hard disk with SSD without reinstalling
plus some more when investigating the topic on the web. Neither of these provides a solution, although some provide clues. Still I haven't been able to pull this off successfully.
I have installed my Windows 7 x64 with the default partition layout (System Reserved aka Boot plus system volume). Now, I finally got the bigger mSATA drive that I ordered (256 GB) of which 64 GB are used as cache for one of the HDDs. The remainder is available as a data volume. Now, what I would like to do is not to migrate the HDD contents over and remove the "source drive", because the mSATA disk is obviously complementary. No need to remove it. Also I cannot boot from the mSATA drive directly for whatever reason (tested, it won't work), but I reckon if the
System Reserved volume is on the HDD it will happily boot into Windows 7 using the system volume from the mSATA if I manage to convince it to use that.
What I would like to do is to migrate the system volume (aka
C:) onto a partition on the mSATA drive and then perhaps move some more profile-data off of it (irrelevant for the question, done that in the past and I know how to proceed there). I just want the performance boost from using mSATA for the system volume.
All guides and the one tool from Paragon Software I stumbled over seem to take into account only the single scenario where the old drive is removed and a new one contains the complete cloned data. This - again - is not what I want.
I have successfully cloned Windows systems for nearly fifteen years (starting with NT4), but I'm out of ideas here. The problem appears to be to convince the Windows boot manager that the cloned partition (I have done that part) is the one it's looking for. I have made the appropriate changes to the BCD and also re-assigned the drive letter for
C: in the registry using the "Boot Corrector" from Paragon HDM 12. But something is still missing. In order to test my changes I have changed the partition ID of the old system volume (on the HDD) to a different value (0x63) and set it to hidden in order to prevent Windows from picking it up. And indeed Windows fails to pick it up. However, it doesn't pick up the intact clone on the SSD either.
In short the current setup is:
HDD: |Boot |System|Data |
SSD: |System|
and I want Windows to drop the System one on the HDD so it looks like this:
HDD: |Boot | |Data |
SSD: |System|
whereas to Windows the drive letter should be
C: after migration.
Any ideas short of actually physically removing the partition from the HDD?

A British fisherman has been caught out telling a whopper.
Matthew Clark, 29, claimed the STG800 first prize in the
Bailiwick Bass Fishing Club competition in Guernsey with a
6kg bass he claimed to have hooked in the English Channel.
However, the fish, with its distinctive markings, was
recognised by a fellow competitor as a specimen that had gone
missing from a local aquarium, British newspaper The Daily
Telegraph reported.
After initially denying he stole his winning catch, Clark
admitted scaling a cliff and climbing a rope ladder to access
the aquarium and scoop the creature from its tank on the eve
of the contest in July.
Clark this week pleaded guilty to fraud and theft and has
been ordered by a magistrate to perform 100 hours of
community service.

How has the growth of Protestant (also known as Evangelical) Christianity altered that relationship? Include two or three key personalities in this history.
In what ways do you think that some people may find the phrase marketplace Christianity troubling?
I need a better understanding of this question
What is the natural form of a family
How did McGrath explain the nature of Jesus Christ? Cite examples. What makes Jesus unique among other major religious figures of history?
Why is it important for the Christian to affirm the humanity of Jesus Christ? Why is it important to affirm his deity? What are the implications in affirming one but not the other
I would like to know what is found in the trinity of God, and what is the triune attributes of God, does each take on a different role, and are all three manifested in Christ
Discuss the relationship, as seen in the patriarchal narratives, between divine sovereignty and human freedom. For God to be sovereign, to what extent and why did God have to cause things to happen...
What is meant by "workplace isolation"? Do you think this affects the mental health of workers? Why or why not?
64. Classify each change as physical or chemical. Even if you are incorrect in your assessment, you should be able to defend why you chose as you did. (a) Grape juice turns to wine. (b)...
. What is the electric charge on the calcium ion in calcium chloride, CaCl2?
Barium ions carry a 2+ charge, and nitrogen ions carry a 3- charge. What is the chemical formula for the ionic compound barium nitride

What is the approximate mass of a carbon atom in atomic mass units? How about a carbon dioxide molecule
. Which contributes more to an atom's mass: electrons or protons? Which contributes more to an atom's size?
. Which has more atoms: a 1-g sample of carbon-12 or a 1-g sample of carbon-13? Explain
If two protons and two neutrons are removed from the nucleus of an oxygen-16 atom, a nucleus of which element remains?
. The atoms that make up your body are mostly empty space, and structures such as the chair you're sitting on are composed of atoms that are also mostly empty space. So why don't you fall...
Imagine that you want to create an activity for a group of children to simulate the periodic table. Suggest items that you may use and how they may be organized in rows and columns. Be creative. Share...

Summer Store Closing in August should be short and shipping delays should be minimal. Specific dates affected will be posted later.
Important Shipping Notice:
As of January 17, 2016, there have been some increases in Priority Mail rates. See our Shipping Info Page for more details.
As of January 17, 2016, there are major changes to Priority Mail Express. The good news is that the cost of a Flat Rate Express Padded Envelope, good for up to 8 to 10 lbs. of material, has only risen from $22 to $26. The bad
news is that the Medium Express Mail Box is no longer a Flat Rate
Service; it is now weight and distance based. A 40 lb box going to Zone 9 will now cost $270, instead of $45 and change. Yes, we think it to be outrageous, but outrage never seems to deter the government from doing something, does it?
So, now that the cost of poor planning has risen sharply, you
may want to consider having us use UPS for your
expedited (faster than regular Priority Mail) orders over $35. We
can ship on your UPS account; just provide the account number in the customer notes area
during checkout. We would then refund the default Priority Mail
shipping at the time we print the shipping label.
BlacksmithBolt.com is the supplier of choice for specialty
fasteners in the Blacksmithing, Metalworking and Woodworking communities, Restoration

Nothing ruins the appearance
of a nice piece of metalwork faster than a hex-head bolt or a Phillips
head screw. Accordingly, you will not find any of either one of those
items here.
Recognizing that the majority of blacksmiths and other
metalworkers may wish to make their fasteners more than simply
functional, we have chosen not to carry zinc-plated or
hot-dip-galvanized fasteners. The material finish will be either plain,
plain & oiled, or black oxide, in almost all instances. No one
really wants to have to burn the zinc off their fasteners before
re-working them.
In summary, we have the following Three Rules:
Of course, since we specialize in old-fashioned fasteners, you can also assume several additional rules, including but not limited to: No Pop-Rivets, No Torx, No Metric, and No Combo.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Care at the End of Life - Important Decisions
Choosing the care you want
As soon as you are diagnosed with a serious illness, you may benefit from palliative care to relieve pain and maintain comfort. For more information, see the topic Palliative Care.
When you are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, it can be difficult to know how long you can expect to live. Talk with your doctor and your loved ones about when to start hospice. Many people do not start hospice until the last few weeks of life. Starting hospice sooner may help you and your family. For more information on this kind of care, see the topic Hospice Care.
Several factors may impact your decision about the kind of care you want, including:
- Your illness. If you are diagnosed with a serious illness, curative treatment options may be available. Certain diseases, such as skin cancer, testicular cancer, and cervical cancer, are often cured with appropriate medical treatment. Other serious illnesses, such as diabetes and AIDS, cannot be cured but can be managed successfully for many years. And some illnesses are more aggressive and life-limiting.
- Your treatment options. Many medical treatment options offer the chance of curing a disease with little effect on the quality of your life. Other treatments may prolong your life but may be associated with side effects that drastically decrease the quality of your life.
- Your age and other health conditions. Older people with multiple health problems may be more likely than healthier younger people to choose care that focuses on keeping them comfortable rather than keeping them alive as long as possible.
For more information on making the decision to stop curative treatments, see:
Talking to your doctor
When you are diagnosed with a terminal disease or condition, it is important to communicate your preferences and concerns clearly with your doctor. Likewise, you should expect your doctor to communicate openly and sensitively with you and your loved ones. Your doctor can provide information, answer questions, and advise you. But the decisions are yours.
To get the most out of an appointment with your doctor:
- Listen carefully to what your doctor says. Make sure you understand what you are told about any diagnosis or treatment.
- Ask questions. If you don't understand something your doctor says, ask for it to be repeated in a different way.
- Be honest. If your values, beliefs, fears, or concerns may interfere with a treatment that is suggested, talk with your doctor about it. Other treatment options may be available.
- Ask for instructions. Before leaving your doctor's office, make sure you know what you are supposed to do to care for yourself. Ask for written information or instructions.

Just a rumor that I've heard, Apple with a ton of cash and both companies being money printing machines could easily make a takeover of Intel happen.
I don't think a purchase is going to happen, far better to simply pay Intel to reserve fab capacity for them. I think this has happended and explains why Intel suddenly announced the D1X Mod2 fab.
Imagine what Apple could charge for products built with Intel's leading edge fab process. These products would have a big power advantage over the Samsung and TSMC based competitors.
Thought that myself. They have 130 billion in their hedge fund. They really only need 50 billion to take complete control and use them any way they want for their foundry. AAPL should begin showing signs of stress shortly as Sansung just raised their prices 20% to AAPL and they still don't have an alternative game plan ready. Paul may find himself on the unemployment line shortly if he doesn't get the stock price up and out of takeover range.
I doubt that Apple will go from fabless (or factory-less) to bringing the factory inside their company. This is highly unlikely, IMO

text: Has anyone else experienced the awkwardness of trying to get into a priority booking line when boarding? Yesterday when leaving CDG we approached the line, after leaving the lounge, and the "line" for business class passengers was rather wide, and appeared not to be moving. Yet, the sign for priority boarding was being held high. We assumed that the other passengers in line were traveling economy, so excused ourselves, and were then told by another passenger that we "must be special". I still feel embarassed by this, although we apologized and told him to please go ahead. He then responded, as his partner rolled her eyes, that they were not in that much of a hurry. I still do not know if they were in the line appropriate for their tickets, but I have certainly learned that next time I'll ask first. By the way, the boarding had been delayed by almost an hour, so those of us in the lounge had not been in lines like many others. Any feedback on this would be appreciated. Fortunately, we have no planned flights for several months.

This large suite had everything we needed for our recent stay in the area. The room was very clean, comfortable and spacious, with a large flat screen TV in both the living and sleeping room as well as a DVD player in the living room. The kitchen was updated and included all the basic essentials for cooking. The room price included buffet breakfast which was the standard hotel fare (easy, quick and convenient). The hotel is situated in a quiet corporate area yet it is very close to anything you need in the way of shopping, dining, etc. We were pleased to find a dog friendly property so the little guy could tag along on the trip ... though it should be noted there was a $150 pet fee which was a bit high compared to other hotel chains. The staff were very friendly and welcoming (front desk, maintenance, housekeeping). Overall, this would be an ideal choice for a longer term stay. I plan to stay here again when I return to the area.

This application is a divisional patent application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/435,068 filed on May 4, 2009, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,854,323 which is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/967,669, filed on Dec. 31, 2007, now abandoned, both of which priority is claimed to and are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
The present invention pertains to methods and devices for packing materials in a container, and more particularly, methods and devices for tightly packing rod-like material in a canister.
Countless products are packaged and shipped to end-users in this country and around the globe every day. Many products are placed in crates or boxes and filled with packing material to minimize or prevent damage during shipping. In some circumstances, products are wrapped with layers of plastic material encapsulated with air, known commonly as bubble wrap, which helps protect the product from shock or impact. Other containers all filled with packing materials made from polymers expanded into foam through the use of heat, typically in the form of steam. Polystyrene is an example of one such type of polymer. These air filled "peanuts" also function to protect the packaged products by absorbing force thereby minimizing damage to the surrounding article.
Some products are stored and packaged in canisters, which may be sealed to prevent the enclosed items from exposure to ambient conditions. Some canisters are hermetically sealed to prevent exposure to air and/or humidity, which may oxidize or otherwise damage the contents. Such containers help preserve the freshness of the packaged items. Examples of packaged products range from edible substances to industrial consumables. In many cases, the same or similarly sized canisters are used to package different quantities of materials. For a particular quantity of product, extra space remaining in the canister may allow the product to jostle about during shipment providing opportunity for individual articles to collide with each other and the walls of the canister thereby increasing the likelihood of damage.
One particular example of packaged articles relates to welding consumables, and more specifically welding electrodes. Stick welding is a common welding process. The process utilizes a finite length welding rod that is consumed by establishing an arc between the electrode and the work piece. The electrodes function best when stored in air tight containers. Usually, one size of container stores a variety of welding rod types where differences in density translate into one welding rod that is more loosely or tightly packed than another. Extra space within the container often causes damage to the welding rods as its coating is prone to fracture when the welding rods collide with each other during shipment.
It would be useful to incorporate a packing insert that takes up the volume of extra space in the container without regard to how much material is stored inside. However, packing material, such as that mentioned above, is not practical for use in these types of application. It is a laborious process to insert bubble wrap, particularly into a canister, without damaging or puncturing the inflated cells. Moreover, when deflated, the cells of the bubble wrap are rendered useless in filling up the excess space. Foamed polymers are subject to the same result. Moreover, this type of packing material tends to crumble and cling to the contents of the canister requiring the user to clean off debris with each rod removed.
What is needed is a packing insert that automatically adjusts to the amount of product stored in a container. The packing insert should be easy to apply and should minimize the damage of the container articles due to jostling. The embodiments of the subject invention obviate aforementioned problems.
In one embodiment of the subject invention a container insert used in packaging one or more associated articles in an associated container having at least a first wall includes an insert body being operable to substantially tightly pack associated material with respect to the at least a first wall of the associated container, wherein the insert body is capable of expanding and contracting responsive to the amount of associated material placed into the associated container.
In one aspect of the embodiments of the subject invention, the insert body is resiliently deformable for storing elastic energy used to tightly pack the associated material.
In another aspect of the embodiments of the subject invention, at least a first portion of the insert body is coiled for storing elastic energy.
In yet another aspect of the embodiments of the subject invention, the insert body is generally longitudinal having a longitudinal axis, wherein the insert body is helically configured substantially along the entire length of the longitudinal axis.
In even another aspect of the embodiments of the subject invention, the insert body is unitary and contiguously formed and may be constructed from a polymer material such as polypropylene.
In yet another aspect of the embodiments of the subject invention, the insert body does not encapsulate fluid substances. Fluid substances may refer to either liquid or gaseous substances. By encapsulating it is meant that the insert body does not form an enclosed shell or housing that isolates fluid substances within an interior region of the insert body with respect to an exterior region of the insert body. Rather, the insert body may include a generally open center portion.
In another embodiment of the subject invention a system for packaging associated material includes a container having one or more wall members for containing the associated material, and means for packing the associated material in the container, wherein said means for packing stores elastic energy to substantially tightly pack the associated material with respect to the one or more wall members.
In one aspect of the embodiments of the subject invention, said means for packing automatically expands and contracts responsive to the amount of associated material stored in the container.
In yet another aspect of the embodiments of the subject invention, said means comprises at least a first portion of elastically deformable material, wherein the at least a first portion of elastically deformable material comprises a band of contiguously formed thermoplastic material.
In still another aspect of the embodiments of the subject invention, said means comprises a coil of material spirally configured with respect to a central axis.
In even another aspect of the embodiments of the subject invention, the container may be hermetically sealed or sealed with a removable cap.
In another embodiment of the subject invention, a method for tightly packing welding rod into a canister comprising the steps of providing an canister having one or more walls, placing an amount of welding rod into the canister, and inserting a resiliently deformable container insert into the canister, wherein the container insert is operable to automatically expand and contract responsive to the amount of associated material stored in the canister.
In one aspect of the embodiments of the subject invention, the resiliently deformable container insert comprises a coil of contiguously formed material, and further includes the step of substantially tightly winding the coil of contiguously formed material around an insertion member.
Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating embodiments of the invention only and not for purposes of limiting the same,

In another embodiment, an adhesive may be used to adhere the accessory 57 to the container insert 27. The adhesive may be a tacky re-adherable substance such as that developed by the 3M Corporation. Alternatively, the adhesive may comprise fast-holding glue or tape. However, it is to be construed that any type or form of adhesive may be utilized as is appropriate for use with the embodiments of the subject invention. The adhesive may be applied to the container insert 27 and/or the container 10. More specifically, the adhesive may be applied to one or more of the container insert surfaces where after the accessory 57 may be adhered to the container insert 27. In one embodiment, the adhesive may be applied to the container insert 27 prior to fashioning or coiling the container insert 27. In this case, the accessory 57 may first be wrapped around the core 47 and the container insert 27 subsequently formed around the core 47 in a manner consistent with the embodiments described herein. It will be appreciated that re-adherable adhesive will allow the end user to easily remove the accessory 57 without damage. Alternatively, the accessory 57 may be adjoined to the container insert 27 after the container insert 27 has been formed or coiled. Still, any manner of attaching the accessory 57 to the container insert 27 may be chosen without limiting the intended scope of coverage of the embodiments of the present invention. In this way, the accessory 57 is held in unobstructed view by the end user until removed from the container 10. This ensures that the end user is presented with the Material Safety Data Sheet or other accessory 57 at the time of opening the container 10.
The accessory 57 may be affixed or adhered to something other than or in addition to the container insert 27, like for example the sides of the container 10 or the container lid. In this embodiment, the accessory 57 may be attached to the tabbed cap or seal 21 using an adhesive, or other means. When the end user opens the container 10 by pulling on the cap 21, the adhesive applied between the accessory 57 and the cap 21 pulls the accessory 57 from within the hollow region 54 and immediately presents the accessory 57, e.g. the Material Safety Data Sheet, to the end user. It is noted that any type or manner of applying adhesive substances between the accessory 57, container insert 27 and/or the cap 21 may be chosen as is appropriate for use with the embodiments of the subject invention.
With reference now to all of the figures but especially to
The invention has been described herein with reference to the preferred embodiment. Obviously, modifications and alterations will occur to others upon a reading and understanding of this specification. It is intended to include all such modifications and alternations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalence thereof.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) – According to the The Global Alliance for Rabies Control, rabies is 99.9 percent fatal in humans. That is the highest fatality rate of any known disease. This is one reason why GARC coordinates World Rabies Day every September 28th.
The most people who die from rabies live in Africa and Asia, and nearly half of the victims are under the age of 15, according to a press release from the CDC. That is why the threat can be easy to forget for people in developed countries.
Muriel Tarver, a veterinarian technician with Standifer's Animal Clinic, said rabies is a disease that everyone should take seriously.
"If one person is bitten or scratched by animal that has rabies, it's a death sentence," said Tarver.
If you own a dog, cat, or ferret, it is required under Alabama law that you vaccinate that pet for rabies. Other vaccinations are recommended, but rabies is the only one that is required.
"If it weren't that important, it wouldn't be required by law," Tarver said.
Tarver said having proof of the vaccination is extremely important. This can either be through your pet's tag or through an official certificate issued by your veterinarian's office. This proof would be critical if your pet bit or scratched another person.
"Measures to prevent rabies in people are simple: wash the wound right after you are bitten and get follow-up care and vaccination immediately," said Ryan Wallace, veterinary epidemiologist with CDC.
By law, hospitals are required to report bites to the health department.
"It's just like having a driver's license. If you take the driving test, you always have that license with you. It's the same thing with pets (and their rabies vaccination proof)," Tarver said.
Tarver said this is all part of being a responsible pet owner, and also a responsible citizen.
The first rabies vaccines are required once the pet is 12-weeks-old. The shot should be given every year to stay compliant with Alabama law.
Tarver said because rabies vaccinations are required by law, the shot is affordable. The vaccines usually cost around $20 and are given at animal hospitals and clinics throughout the state.

Rubbish Bin (Black Bin)
Popular Tasks for Waste & Recycling
Your black bin is for general waste. The material you put in it will go to landfill. We will collect waste from this bin once a fortnight. To find out which day your black bin will be emptied, please see the Collection dates pages.
On collection day, we start at 7:00 a.m., so it's important that you put your bin out at the boundary of your property before then (but after 7.00 p.m. the previous evening). Please make sure we can see it - we'd hate to miss it! After your bin has been emptied, if you leave it out on the pavement it may become a nuisance to elderly or disabled people, or parents with prams and pushchairs, so please return your bin back onto your property by the end of the collection day - thank you.
Garden waste (hedge clippings, etc.) will not be accepted. Please take these materials to your nearest recycling centre or you could consider joining the garden waste collection service (please be aware there is currently a waiting list for this service).
If you do not have a black wheelie bin, please read the communal bins and bagged areas page.
Please note bins must be closed when placed out for collection. Overflowing bins and side waste will not be collected. If you have too much waste for your bin you can put this into a black sack and then close it with a red tag purchased from borough council offices. The sack can then be placed with your black bin for collection. Alternatively, additional waste can be taken to your nearest recycling centre.
The following should not be put in your black bin
- Food waste
- Recycling
- Garden waste
