I went into Dashboard > Events > Settings > Events Format > "Default single event format"...
...then added #_DIRECTIONS to the text-box. Updated. However, the shortcode does not generate a link to google directions.
Am I doing this wrong? What is the proper way?
Best Regards,

This review is from: HEC Blitz Black Steel Edition ATX Mid Tower Computer Chassis Gaming Case w/ Front Blue LED 120mm Fan & Top 120mm Fan
Pros: Sturdy, Attractive construction; plenty of fans (& mounts for more, if needed). Front & side panels easily removed for service / cleaning. Slots for H2O cooling / cable sorting
Cons: -For those used to mATX cases, this is Huge
Other Thoughts: Great value for $ -Big for my mATX mobo, though that saves my knuckles during service.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Rosewill R101-P-BK 120mm Fan MicroATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: -Good Airflow (installed an additional 12cm fan in front)
-Well built overall; holds parts firmly
-Compact, simple design - no useless 'bling'
-Included hardware / CPU fan shroud
Cons: -RAZOR edges ! (do NOT let kids near interior!)
-Plastic / usb is a bit flimsy
Other Thoughts: For budget to midrange builds, this case is tops; lets one apply $ toward components instead of the shell. I own several of these, have used dozens in builds for others and have found them a great value.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: PC Power & Cooling ModXStream Pro Series OCZ600MXSP 600 Watt (600W) 80 Plus Semi-Modular Active PFC ATX PC Power Supply Performance Grade
Pros: Brilliant Power Supply and presentation - works great so far. Would have been 5-Eggs (without the shady "rebate"). Modular cables are a great idea, though the size of these combined, multi-socket cords does take up a lot of space I thought to save with the unit.
Cons: Companies offering these so-called Rebates KNOW that by the time you actually GET the product & snip the UPC (which often voids the bloody warranty)- you're left only a few days to snail-mail it all in. Shady fine print can really tarnish the otherwise smooth dealings with NE. -Not a terrible deal @ the sale price, just wasn't the same deal I agreed to.
Other Thoughts: Running strong with:
C2D 7400 @ 3GHz
eVGA 9800 GTX+
4GB DDR2 667MHz
PC actually starts quicker!

Florentine palazzo. A child of the Renaissance, with a precocious
mind and a talent for drawing, Alessandra is intoxicated by the

Meanwhile, Florence is changing, increasingly subject to the growing suppression imposed by the fundamentalist monk Savonarola, who is seizing religious and political control.

Australian Bond Risk Falls, Credit-Default Swap Prices Show
The cost of insuring corporate bonds in Australia from non-payment declined, according to traders of credit-default swaps.
The Markit iTraxx Australia index dropped 2 basis points to 175 basis points as of 10:20 a.m. in Sydney, Westpac Banking Corp. prices show. The index fell 11 basis points yesterday and has traded between 211 and 128 this year, according to data provider CMA.
The Markit iTraxx Asia index of 40 investment-grade borrowers outside Japan climbed 2 basis points to 170 as of 8:17 a.m. in Singapore, Standard Chartered Plc prices show. The index, which has ranged between 210 and 132.5 this year, had fallen for five consecutive days prior, according to CMA, which is owned by McGraw-Hill Cos. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market.
The Markit iTraxx Japan index was little changed at 173 basis points as of 9:30 a.m. in Tokyo, Deutsche Bank AG prices show.
Credit-default swap indexes are benchmarks for insuring bonds against default and traders use them to speculate on credit quality. A drop signals improving perceptions of creditworthiness, while an increase suggests the opposite.
The swap contracts pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities if a borrower fails to meet its debt agreements. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.

Slovenia resumed on Wednesday a bond auction halted a day earlier after the troubled eurozone country, seen as next in line for bailout, was downgraded two notches by Moody's to "junk" status.
"The dollar bond issue continues and has not been interrupted," Slovenia's finance ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
The finance ministry on Tuesday delayed the sale of around $3 billion (2.2 billion euros) in five and 10-year dollar-denominated bonds due to a likely credit rating move.
Some hours later, Moody's announced it had cut Slovenia's rating because of the former Yugoslav republic's troubled banks and a deterioration in its public finances.
Slovenia's sovereign debt rating was cut to "Ba1" from "Baa2", placing it in the speculative category. Moody's said that uncertain funding prospects had heightened "the probability that external assistance will be needed."
Slovenian media speculated either the finance ministry was aware of the likely downgrade and had tried to close the sale before it was published or Moody's had "sabotaged" the country's borrowing attempt.
"Experts point out it could be a planned and coordinated sabotage of the Slovenian bond and a precedent in the regular rating practises," Slovenian news agency STA reported quoting unnamed experts.
Before the auction had been interrupted, demand for Slovenian bond had largely exceeded supply, STA said.

Secretary-General's message to third review Conference of the States Parties to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction [delivered by Ms Angela Kane, High Representative for Disarmament Affairs]
Maputo, Mozambique, 26 June 2014
I am pleased to send greetings to all participants at this important Review Conference.
I thank Mozambique for hosting 15 years after the first meeting under this Convention was held in Maputo. This is a fitting tribute to Mozambique's leadership.
I applaud the extraordinary results achieved since the First Meeting of the States Parties. The United Nations has proudly assisted more than 50 affected States while standing as an unfaltering advocate for the Convention's universalisation. We are fully committed to supporting the global campaign against mines, as demonstrated by our 2013-2018 Strategy on Mine Action and our Mine Action Team. I pay special tribute to the courageous deminers on the frontlines of our campaign.
Today our common goal of a world free of anti-personnel mines has become an attainable reality, demonstrating the power of multilateralism to reach shared objectives. But we cannot rest as long as anti-personnel mines continue to kill and maim. Some of the world's largest countries with considerable stocks of anti-personnel landmines remain outside of the Convention. I urge all States that have not done so to accede to the Convention, and call on all States to adhere to other relevant legal instruments. Let us all accelerate efforts to achieve universal adherence.
We must also intensify our work to clear mined areas and destroy stockpiles. I am disappointed that a number of States Parties have failed to meet their stockpile destruction deadlines while others have requested extension of their clearance deadlines. I urge all to spare no effort or resources to comply with obligations within the agreed deadlines.
I call on all States Parties to renew their commitment to action and funding to ensure that survivors enjoy the full range of human rights and fundamental freedoms. I am concerned by the reported use of anti-personnel mines on the territories of States Parties. I urge all States Parties to assist in the clarification of these allegations and strongly support your efforts to further strengthen compliance. I also condemn the use of this horrendous and indiscriminate weapon by States not party to the Convention.
The United Nations is committed to ridding the world of anti-personnel landmines.
I count on your engagement and wish you great success.

This week's Patriots mailbag is primarily personnel-based, looking at various possibilities to improve the roster. It also looks back at last week's informal workouts at Boston College.
With little time to waste, let's get right to the questions.
Q: Hi Mike, do you think there is any chance the Pats will contact Plaxico Burress? He could be the Randy Moss-type receiver some believe the Pats need. And he could be motivated in the same way Corey Dillon was. I realize the Pats drafted heavy for the running game but Burress might be a cheap and very effective weapon, if only for a year. And, they could prevent him from going to the Dolphins or the Jets. -- Greg (Boca Raton, Fla.)
A: Greg, I'd be surprised if the Patriots sign Burress, but as the process plays out, I won't be surprised if the Patriots' name is attached to Burress in some form. Burress' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, does a great job generating interest in his clients, or at least creating the perception of interest. I just don't see the Patriots having interest in the total package that comes with Burress at this point -- a player two years removed from football, and one who comes with some significant off-field issues.
Q: Hi Mike, I was wondering if to bolster their receiving corps the Pats could go after Brad Smith as a versatile offensive player, slot receiver, and special teams player? Or do you think that the Pats are confident with their development of Taylor Price, Julian Edelman, and Brandon Tate. Or could they still sign him even if they like their young receivers? -- David (Storrs, Conn.)
A: David, I could see Smith as the type of target the Patriots would look toward in free agency, especially when considering his special-teams value. But I do think the team still believes in Price, Edelman and Tate as players who have more to offer. I think the team ultimately will invest in them over a free agent at the position.
Q: Mike, with all this talk about needing a deep threat receiver, I was wondering what Taylor Price's stats were? Can you look up his 40 time and height? He looked good in the Miami game and I think can make an impact after his red-shirt year. -- Leon (Kingston, Canada)
A: Leon, I wrote about Price during the Patriots' informal workouts. His ESPN.com draft profile is a good reference to look back at his testing numbers leading into the draft. Price ran a 4.41 in the 40. His height was measured at 6-foot-0 3/8.
Q: Hey Mike, do you think adding a wide receiver like Steve Smith or Chad Ochocinco will make this offense almost unstoppable, since they already revamped the running game in the draft and have tight ends Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski playing like they did last year? -- Jorge Garcia (Mexico City)
A: Jorge, I think you could put Smith or Ochocinco on any offense, and that unit will be upgraded. But one thought I had is that one of the big questions for this team will be what happens along the offensive line. We've seen plenty of examples over the years of teams with excellent skill-position players but who struggle up front and the result is that it paralyzes the offense. So, I think it's a bit too simplified to say one of those players -- Smith or Ochocinco -- is all the Patriots need to become an unstoppable offense.
Q: Hello Mike. Assuming there is free agency, where (position group) do you see the Patriots making additions? I only ask because it seems that for the most part the Pats trade lower draft [choices] for depth, but with the draft already taking place that may not be as advantageous. Second, it seems to me that there will be a series of cuts this year to veterans that either were hurt or under-achieved last year. Specifically, I could see such veterans as Ty Warren, Julian Edelman, Leigh Bodden, Brian Hoyer and Alge Crumpler getting cut. What are your thoughts on some surprise veteran cuts? -- Blake (Washington, D.C.)
A: Blake, I could see the Patriots possibly looking at an interior offensive lineman in free agency, as well as an outside linebacker. As for possible veteran cuts, I envision a spot on the 53-man roster for all of the players mentioned. Edelman, in particular, caught my eye in workouts. Hoyer also is developing and has made strides. With Warren, Bodden and Crumpler, it's all about recovering from surgery.
Q: With the drafting of Nate Solder and the emergence of Sebastian Vollmer, along with the ongoing Logan Mankins saga, what are the chances that the Pats re-sign Matt Light? Do you think they will throw Solder into the fire right away or do you think there is a good chance that they will try and keep Light for a little bit longer? Light has been one of the most prominent locker room leaders for years now, and I feel that Belichick would have a hard time letting him go. What are your thoughts? -- Mike (Braintree, Mass.)
A: I agree with you, Mike. I think the door is still open for a Light return, but I don't see the Patriots setting the market for him. So if another team ups the ante on him, I could see Light playing elsewhere next season.
Q: Hey Mike, looking at the lists of which Pats attended the workouts at BC, I was disappointed to not see Brandon Spikes or Jermaine Cunningham. It seemed liked all the other second year guys were there. Any idea why they weren't? -- Juan (San Francisco)
A: Juan, I saw Cunningham at the workouts and spoke with him after one of them. I did not see Spikes. Attendance can be tough to take in situations like this, and overall, I wouldn't read too much into it. I spoke with one player who was battling an injury and didn't want to risk things and that's why he wasn't on the field. It doesn't mean he isn't committed to the team. He just has to be smart about his health.
Q: Hi Mike. Is there any unofficial list of the players that attended the workouts earlier this week? Any significant absences other than Matt Light and Logan Mankins? I'm curious about Brandon Spikes and Brandon Deaderick, both players who look to have some ability but also had off-field concerns last season. Were either of them there? Especially curious about Spikes, as he is supposed to be a leadership type. -- Dave (NYC)
A: Dave, Jeff Howe of NESN.com and Shalise Manza Young of The Boston Globe put together incomplete lists that included the majority of players. I didn't put together a list, only noting some of the absences that caught the eye (e.g. Matt Light, Logan Mankins, Alge Crumpler). One thing I'd caution on these lists is that they don't include everyone. Rookie outside linebacker Markell Carter, for example, was present at the workouts.
Q: So I am just wondering if there is anything that would prevent a Randy Moss, Sidney Rice, Ricky Williams etc. from attending the Patriots workouts. As they are informal unsanctioned workouts, would it not be a great way to explore how a potential free agent might fit chemistry wise? -- Dave Peck (York , Maine)
A: Dave, that would have been an option. I think the reason it doesn't happen is that Bill Belichick doesn't want players making personnel decisions, or even thinking along those lines at all. He wants their focus on the X's and O's as part of his "do your job" mantra.
Q: Hey Mike, I read that Rex Ryan indicated in his book that Bill Belichick was trying really hard to convince Jason Taylor to become a Patriot before he joined the Jets. I am surprised that Taylor didn't jump at the chance to be a Patriot, unless they couldn't come to an agreement on money. Thoughts? -- Jay (Dartmouth, Nova Scotia)
A: Jay, that's been one of the questions I've been curious about in each of the past two offseasons. We know that Bill Belichick and Jason Taylor have a good relationship -- and that Belichick was dealing with Taylor directly -- but I wasn't sure why the sides couldn't come to any agreement. Perhaps it was strictly financial. The Jets did give Taylor a lucrative deal last season.
Q: Mike, since the rookies haven't gotten contracts yet and just got out of college how are they able to afford staying in New England and hiring trainers and such? Have many of the rookies taken out insurance to protect their potential future earnings [in case] they are injured. -- Nancy (Haverhill, Mass.)
A: Nancy, I don't think the rookies are staying in New England, but they did make the trip last week for the informal workouts. Some of them have their agents lay out the money for flights, hotel, rental cars. Sometimes, teammates step up and offer a place to stay, and that contributes to the team bonding aspect of the workouts.
Q: Mike, I saw an article on ESPN.com a couple days ago that talked about how complex offenses will suffer the most because of the long layoff. Do you think Belichick agreed with that idea and his seeming focus on beefing up the run in the draft is a move toward simplifying the offense in case the passing game doesn't gel right away? -- Dave (Los Angeles)
A: Dave, I don't think the selection of offensive linemen Nate Solder (first round) and Marcus Cannon (fifth round) and running backs Shane Vereen (second round) and Stevan Ridley (third round) was a nod toward simplification as much as it was about a need to add talented youth to those positions. That's one of the things I think Belichick generally does a solid job at executing -- balancing a short-term situation (e.g., lockout) against a longer view. I don't think teams want to lock in on certain players this year just because of the lockout, then look back 3-4 years from now and wonder why they passed on better players because they were thinking from a short-term perspective.
Q: Hey Mike, I just finished watching the Top 50 to 41 players on NFL Network. I was surprised by where Wes Welker was ranked. I was expecting him to be at least in the mid-30s. Do you think that his dropped passes had a huge impact on him being so low, or was it a combination of his recovery and the dropped balls. I think that if he has fully recovered, he should be great next year. Your thoughts? -- Ted (East Brunswick)
A: Ted, my thoughts on Welker's ranking were highlighted by what his "presenter" -- Bills coach Chan Gailey -- said about him. "I think people don't probably give Wes enough credit for his down-the-field stuff because he is so known for the underneath," Gailey said. In summary, I think players probably still pigeonhole him as a slot receiver.
Q: Hi Mike, any chance you can post the videos on our Pats that make the Top 100 list? -- Jason Brown (Nova Scotia)
A: Jason, here is a link to the Wes Welker video (No. 50, as voted by players). I don't believe Jerod Mayo (No. 62) video is posted online.
Q: There has already been rookie and veteran mini camps missed, no UDFA signed and no free agent period in the NFL. Even if the lockout doesn't cost the NFL any missed games, one could argue [that] the quality of the earlier games could already be lessened. At what point do the owners and players lessen the quality of the season or at least the early games? -- David (North Attleboro, Mass.)
A: David, I'd say the end of July would be the end date in my book.
Q: Hi Mike, when and if the preseason begins, is there the possibility that the quantity of injuries (pulled hamstrings, etc) will be very high, and the [difference] between the teams will be the quality of the job made by the strength and conditioning coaches? -- Memo Alfaro (Tijuana, Mexico)
A: Memo, I think you bring up a good point, and this will be something to watch based on the lockout and the potential of a shortened training camp/preseason. For the Patriots, they have Harold Nash in his first year as head strength & conditioning coach, so this is a challenging dynamic for him to deal with.

Giant - Ultraman by DanielMeadWatch
©2012-2016 DanielMead
After way too much time...Ultraman
I didnt expect this as all your other giants are mecha. Makes Ultraman feel a bit out of place in the series but I enjoy seeing it nonetheless.
Are you gonna do any other Ultras?
Awesome!!! You finally did Ultraman!
cool pic, i remember the name but had never seen him, nicely done
Nice. Good choice. I used to have an Ultraman city that was meant for Ultraman action figures to smash up. The buildings came apart and it had power lines for them to throw each other into. I used it with a Godzilla that my brother had though, no Ultraman figures in our house. Pity.

text: Hi guys ! This is actually the first seemingly efficient team I made. I think it's fun to play with :). This is my first RMT and I'm mostly here for advice on how to improve my team. (My english may be not perfect, and for that I am sorry) So let's go ! Team Building Process So I wanted to try something I thought would be cool : a team mixing volturn strategy with trick room strategy. I love trick room team, cause you don't need to invest massive evs on speed, so you can focus on power and bulkyness. Meloetta and xatu both have Trick room and U turn, they're slow enough for working, and have good amazing qualities fort my team: Magic bounce and an amazing speacial bulk for meloetta. Plus, their second type delete one bug weakness and one ghost weakness, which is useful in a trickroom team. I wanted a third trick room user, and reuniclus is just amazing ! Magnezone and scizor are two classics volturn abusers, and most of all , they are really slow, so are perfect for trick room. Finally, I wanted something to get the control of the climate. I naturally thought of tyranitar as a sweeper (he is sooo slow and bulky). The problem was that tyranitar wasn't really helping my team. So, I tried another climate. I replaces tyranitar with politoed. Less powerful and less cool, but it fits better in my team. It doesn't add a bug weakness, and it helps magnezone and scizor ! Now, the team : Xatu @ leftovers ability : magic bounce 252 HP/ 252 def/ 4SpD/ 0IVs speed Relaxed Nature -heat wave -trick room -u turn -roost This one is obvious, with magic bounce it stops entry hasards, heat wave is there for all the ferrothorns, scizors, forretress etc. It rarely kills them, but hurts them enough. After stopping a staller using status moves or an user of entry hasards, or a fight pokemon, Xatu uses trick room, then u turn to a powerfull sweeper. Roost is here, because I need him to stay alive ! My team is a little weak on the physical side, so I maximised his defence. He can resist to stone edge by Landorus-T for exemple, and physical fight attacks barely touch him. Meloetta @ leftovers Serene Grace 102 HP / 4 Def / 150 SpA / 252 SpD / 0IVs speed Sassy Nature -trick room -psyshock -U turn -energy ball/toxic The special wall of the team. With her great special bulk, she can take almost anything and she is immune to ghost type, which is incredibly usefull. She's there to set up trick room and go, but with this inverstment in SpA, she can hurt too. For the last slot, I am not sure, energy ball is good for getting rid of gastrodon, but I am not using it so ofter. And toxic is not great eather, because, my team usually plays fast and the toxic damages are not that helpfull. Scizor @ choice band Technician 252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 spD / O IVs speed Brave Nature -U turn -Pursuit -Bullet Punch -Super Power Not much to say. With this Evs its speed is 121, which means that under trick room he is really really fast. He's here to hit hard and fast. He has a good bulk, helped by drizzle. Magnezone @ choice specs Sturdy 252 Def / 252 SpA / 4Spd / OIvs Speed Quiet Nature. -Thunder -Volt switch -flash cannon -HP fire Pretty much the same as scizor, but on the special side. He is slow and powerfull, thunder, under rain is horrifying. I usually do several kills in a row when trick room is set. I chose sturdy over Magnet pulls because steel pokemon are not really a problem, and sturdy give magnezone one more opportuny to destroy something. He is working well with scizor as a volturn duet. Politoed @ choice specs drizzle 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA / 0IVs speed quiet nature -Hydro Pump -Ice Beam -Focus Blast -HP grass The classic choice specs politoed but without any speed.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if there's a preservative-free lovenox?

All of the graduated prefilled syringes are preservative free. They are for one time use and filled under sterile conditions.
There is a vial for multiple uses...300mg/3mL that some people may use if they are on higher therapeutic doses. This concentration/package DOES contain benzyl alcohol as a preservative.
The information is from the BRAND name package insert, but I know that my generic (Winthrop) is the same...but it's also made by the same company :) You can find this information usually in the "how supplied, storage/handling" section of the package insert...I know those things are in very small print, but it's usually near the end on the back page.

That's what I thought, but I was reading my Sandoz generic and it was talking about benzyl alcohol. I just checked again and I read it incorrectly. It did say it's only in the multiple-dose vials. Not in my prefilled syringes! Phew I just got worried I was using one with benzyl alcohol for 9 months! Thank you!!

I'm trying to use cURL to request a web page on the command line on a local WP 3.0.1 development environment using WP Super Cache, and it does not seem to register cache hits or misses.
The WP Super Cache debug log doesn't write any information, even though cURL retrieves the correct file. wget does the same thing. When I load it in the web browser, however, WP Super Cache writes to the debug log as expected.
Any idea why that's happening?

Hello everybody,
I cannot figure out this by myself, on a first quick look over internet.
I have two motors RS550s like this (http://banebots.com/p/M2-RS550-120) and I want to buy a proper controller for them. I had a look on these two: http://www.robotshop.com/eu/productinfo.aspx?pc=RB-Dim-30&lang=en-US or http://www.robotshop.com/eu/productinfo.aspx?pc=RB-Dim-42&lang=en-US but, I don't know which one is more suitable for my project.
What do you think ?

My My My, look how defenseive you are over your "news" sources. I too listen to Glen Beck now and then, for giggles and shock value, and I always hear you parrot the show that day or the next. It's really pathetic.
So now you are trying to label me as a tweaker. You are a real class act. Tweakers don't hold down two jobs, raise loving children and pay their mortgage. You should be ashamed of yourself, you are acting like anything BUT a Christian. You make silly and insulting assertions and tell jokes about water melons and national tragedies. You mock a fellow Christian for working two jobs and insinuate God doesn't bless me because of my "Satanic" ways. Please ask God to heal your mind and soften your heart.. You are an embarrassment to Christians everywhere. BTW, do you understand that I was not threatening you and Merii (who I never mentioned) ? Do you see what your deranged mind did with that post, how you turned it around to fit your evil agenda. You cannot run from the Truth. Peace and Love.
In my opinion, you are a friggin creep who tries to imitate people and engages in character assassination. A real low life you are and definitely not a christian. What satanic group do you belong to?

Work for a living and pay your taxes without whining about it.They have succeeded in pigeion holing libs as welfare queens, when in fact we are very hard workers. we just tend not to brag about it like they do. Use the plants God gave us for medicine and knowledge (ganja, peyote, psylicybin mushrooms) because then you will know many things that they will never know. God created all plants and animals. God created humans with cabinoid, opiate and psychedelic receptors built in to our brains. Coincidence? I think not, but the contards will cry "druggie", but who cares? I only care what God approves of, not a bunch of hypocrites from red states. Know God, have a relationship wi9th Him and know His love for ALL His children is real.

I loved this story. A well-written book. A "fish-out-of-water" story about how a family consisting of four daugthters, an overbearing missionary husband, and a complacent wife exist in tribal, post-wwii African Congo. One cannot help but be disturbed by the father's total lack of responsibility as a patriarch, and his unwavering desire to convert the "primative" tribes people to his version of christianity. Frustrating but ultimately uplifting. A real commentary on colonialism and how western capitalist societies kept there foot squarely on the neck of Africa. A real eye opener.
'We've all ended up giving up body and soul to Africa, one way or another'
By sally tarbox on 30 April 2014
Format: Paperback
The first two thirds of this are a compelling read, following the family of American preacher Nathan Price - an increasingly disturbed character. It's 1959 and he has dragged them out to the Belgian Congo on missionary service.
From the first pages, recounted in retrospect by his wife, we are aware that something bad is going to happen. The chapters are then narrated by the four daughters, as they become accustomed - or not - to their new environment. But whom will disaster strike - pretty, blonde (but vacuous) eldest child Rachel, who attracts the locals with her hair; little Ruth May, always climbing trees, or the twins: active, intelligent Leah, who has befriended a local schoolteacher, or her disabled, but equally bright twin Adah....? Or even Our Father himself...?
For me, this work went downhill after the Event, where Ms Kingsolver continues the chapters in depth, charting the progress of the family's lives. One of the characters comes to sound like a parody. I learnt a lot about Mobutu and America's corruption of African politics, but I felt there was too much of it.
I have read this book at least ten times over the years. One of my all time favorites. It is a great story.
I'm reading now
The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it -- from garden seeds to Scripture -- is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.
What a truly amazing book. As a preacher's kid growing up in the 1970's South, I was struck by the difference between my family situation and the Nathan Price sort of missionaries. We had lots of missionary kids living where we lived, usually for a year or two or for a summer, and none, not one, of their fathers were like this crazy white preacher. Maybe it was the difference in the time frame, or the higher level of ecclesiastical education, or even the simple difference in Protestant denominations that caused these differences, but now I understand what people think when I say I am a preacher's kid."
The story of the family, a woman and her four daughters (and thank goodness they were daughters - the trauma on them could easily have multiplied had there been a son or two), who are taken from their Betty Crocker world into the unforgiving Congo wilderness is heart-wrenching. And all too reflective of the worldview of colonial nations. One only has to read the accounts of English living in India to see the parallels between 1959 US and the Congo.
The humility that Nathan refuses to show at the beginning of the novel, whether it be how to plant seeds to why not to baptize at the edge of the river, is hard won. The elders of the villages who wonder why a vote must be done democratically when such a vote does not take into account the ideas and concerns of the dissenters is as real in that time as in any. And the observation of the daughter who looks at grocery shelves and wonders at the huge selection of hair shampoo and cleaning products instead of simple food is still a relevant thought that pops through the surface.
I highly recommend this book for its observations, its writing style, and it story of women's lives. As one reviewer said, there are women who do not leave their Nathan Price's, and this novel does help explain why."
Kingsolver once wrote that ""The point [of portraying other cultures] is not to emulate other lives, or usurp their wardrobes. The point is to find sense.'' Her effort to make sense of the Congo's tragic struggle for independence is fully realized, richly embroidered, triumphant.
A writer who casts a preacher as a fool and a villain had best not be preachy. Kingsolver manages not to be, in part because she is a gifted magician of words--her sleight-of-phrase easily distracting a reader who might be on the point of rebellion. Her novel is both powerful and quite simple. It is also angrier and more direct than her earlier books.
The Congo permeates ''The Poisonwood Bible,'' and yet this is a novel that is just as much about America, a portrait, in absentia, of the nation that sent the Prices to save the souls of a people for whom it felt only contempt, people who already, in the words of a more experienced missionary, ''have a world of God's grace in their lives, along with a dose of hardship that can kill a person entirely.''
Although ''The Poisonwood Bible'' takes place in the former Belgian Congo and begins in 1959 and ends in the 1990's, Barbara Kingsolver's powerful new book is actually an old-fashioned 19th-century novel, a Hawthornian tale of sin and redemption and the ''dark necessity'' of history.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060786507, Paperback)Oprah Book Club® Selection, June 2000: As any reader of The Mosquito Coast knows, men who drag their families to far-off climes in pursuit of an Idea seldom come to any good, while those familiar with At Play in the Fields of the Lord or Kalimantaan understand that the minute a missionary sets foot on the fictional stage, all hell is about to break loose. So when Barbara Kingsolver sends missionary Nathan Price along with his wife and four daughters off to Africa in The Poisonwood Bible, you can be sure that salvation is the one thing they're not likely to find. The year is 1959 and the place is the Belgian Congo. Nathan, a Baptist preacher, has come to spread the Word in a remote village reachable only by airplane. To say that he and his family are woefully unprepared would be an understatement: "We came from Bethlehem, Georgia, bearing Betty Crocker cake mixes into the jungle," says Leah, one of Nathan's daughters. But of course it isn't long before they discover that the tremendous humidity has rendered the mixes unusable, their clothes are unsuitable, and they've arrived in the middle of political upheaval as the Congolese seek to wrest independence from Belgium. In addition to poisonous snakes, dangerous animals, and the hostility of the villagers to Nathan's fiery take-no-prisoners brand of Christianity, there are also rebels in the jungle and the threat of war in the air. Could things get any worse?
In fact they can and they do. The first part of The Poisonwood Bible revolves around Nathan's intransigent, bullying personality and his effect on both his family and the village they have come to. As political instability grows in the Congo, so does the local witch doctor's animus toward the Prices, and both seem to converge with tragic consequences about halfway through the novel. From that point on, the family is dispersed and the novel follows each member's fortune across a span of more than 30 years.
The Poisonwood Bible is arguably Barbara Kingsolver's most ambitious work, and it reveals both her great strengths and her weaknesses. As Nathan Price's wife and daughters tell their stories in alternating chapters, Kingsolver does a good job of differentiating the voices. But at times they can grate--teenage Rachel's tendency towards precious malapropisms is particularly annoying (students practice their "French congregations"; Nathan's refusal to take his family home is a "tapestry of justice"). More problematic is Kingsolver's tendency to wear her politics on her sleeve; this is particularly evident in the second half of the novel, in which she uses her characters as mouthpieces to explicate the complicated and tragic history of the Belgian Congo.
Despite these weaknesses, Kingsolver's fully realized, three-dimensional characters make The Poisonwood Bible compelling, especially in the first half, when Nathan Price is still at the center of the action. And in her treatment of Africa and the Africans she is at her best, exhibiting the acute perception, moral engagement, and lyrical prose that have made her previous novels so successful. --Alix Wilber

I want to change my current RAID (HDD based 4 sata 2 120GB) on which my OS (Windows 7) is installed to some more fancy fast and modern SSD based. I have 2 options - 4 OCZ AGT3-25SAT3-60G or one 120 GB OCZ RVD3-FHPX4-120G. What would show better speed for installed OS and apps performance? Would it still be faster if most of the data I work with is stored on some HDD's?
What would work faster: One PCI-E based super fast SSD 120GB or 4 SATA 2 SSD's 60GB inside some RAID?
Your PCIE would probably be faster in the long hall since it will most likely support TRIM. Right now with RAID and SSDs, you will not get TRIM support *unless something has changed in the past few months.
TRIM will proactively delete files from the SSD since the data has to be deleted prior to rewriting.
There is far more to this comparison than just TRIM. PCIe is a much faster interface than SATA. You can see the spec for the RVD3-FHPX4-120G shows double max sequential read/write. IOPs are an order of magnitude higher. Unlike spinning disks, SSDs are more limited by interface bandwidth than the device itself. That said, there's no reason you couldn't manufacture an SSD that is much slower than the interface. You still need to look at the benchmarks. A plateau in the benchmark graphs can indicate bandwidth saturation on the interface.
There are a lot of ways to define 'faster'. Likely by any of these measures, the PCIe device will win. But, you need to define the problem more clearly and consider your objective. 60GB vs up to 480GB is very large capacity difference. You didn't mention what kind of RAID you're using, so you might be using anywhere from 120GB to 480GB. RAID (except RAID 0) provides redundancy, so this is usually more important to people than speed, when used.
TRIM is not something I have much familiarity with, but my current understanding is that the rcent Intel storage controllers allow a non-RAID device connected while in RAID mode to pass through TRIM. This does not mean a RAID array on the same setup will receive the TRIM commands. TRIM is currently under standardization by T13, so expect once it is standardized that it will have less compatibility restrictions.

Jonathan Fleming Released by Brooklyn D.A. 24 Years After Wrongful Conviction
Derrick Hamilton, Shabaka Shakur, David Ranta, Derrick Deacon, Anthony Yarbough, Sharrif Wilson, Sundhe Moses, Kevin Smith, Eric Glisson, Cathy Watkins, Devon Ayers, Michael Cosme, Carlos Perez, Jabar Collins, William Lopez, et al.
Today we add Jonathan Fleming to the list: people released from prison within the last four years after a wrongful conviction during the Tough on Crime era of the '80s and '90s.
As Pro Publica first reported, Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson is dismissing charges against Fleming, who has spent the past 24 years in prison on a murder conviction.

Prosecutors had accused Fleming of shooting 22-year-old Darryl Rush on August 15, 1989. The key evidence against him was the testimony of a witness who identified Fleming as the shooter.
Fleming's legal team, however, recently found evidence supporting Fleming's claim that he was in Florida on that day, at Disney World with his family.
As Pro Publica reported:
Investigators found a receipt showing that Fleming had paid a phone bill at a hotel in Florida just hours before the murder took place; an Orlando police report confirmed that several hotel employees remembered Fleming being there.
The team also found evidence supporting the claim that a key witness had only agreed to testify against Fleming to avoid criminal prosecution, unearthing a command log from the 90th Police Precinct showing the witness had been arrested prior to Fleming's trial.
At Fleming's trial, family members corroborated his alibi and defense attorneys presented plane tickets and home movies backing his story. Jurors, though, sided with prosecutors, who argued that Fleming flew from Florida back to New York to commit the murder before returning to Florida.
The witness who testified against Fleming recanted her identification just a few months later. The judge didn't believe her and upheld the conviction.

Thompson's predecessor, Charles Hynes, had fought Fleming's appeal efforts. Thompson crushed Hynes in November's election in part because of revelations that Hynes' office committed misconducts that led to some--and possibly dozens of--wrongful convictions. Thompson's office is currently reviewing around 50 cases.
The flood of releases rolls on. An article in today's New York Times explained that Thompson's office found convincing evidence for two more possible exonerations. Brothers Alvena Jennette and Darryl Austin and were convicted of murder in 1985. One of the detectives handling the case was Louis Scarcella, whose sketchy and sometimes illegal police practices are at the center of the many potential wrongful convictions in Brooklyn. One of the witnesses who testified against Jennette and Austin was Theresa Gomez, a drug addict and prostitute who testified as a witness on several Scarcella cases.

Thompson's office found that police had interviewed one witness who named two other men as the culprits, and another witness who said that Austin and Jennette were simply sitting on a nearby stoop when the shooting happened. But the notes from those interviews never made it to the defense attorney.
Jennette served 20 years in prison, then was released on parole in 2007. Austin died behind bars at the age of 37.

By 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) Public AffairsOctober 22, 2009
CONTINGENCY OPERATING LOCATION MAREZ, Iraq - Soldiers from the 631st Maintenance Company just started their tour here in Iraq, but they take their mission at Contingency Operating Location Marez, Mosul, Iraq, seriously.
Staff Sgt. Brumvie B. Williams, convoy commander of B Team, with the 631st Maintenance Company out of Stark, Fla., said a route reconnaissance mission Oct. 12 allowed Soldiers to learn to navigate the roads, communicate with each other and familiarize themselves with the terrain.
"I think it was successful," said Williams, a Jacksonville, Fla., native. "We were able to reach our SP point. We briefed the mission beforehand, and we were able to complete the mission with no casualties, no incidents."
Williams said the Soldiers gain valuable knowledge during their missions, giving them insight on what to expect along the route.
"It's a lot better than coming into it cold and not knowing what to expect," said Williams.
Capt. Maria J. Garcia, commander of the 631st, accompanied the Soldiers during this training mission to observe their planning, as well as their tactics, techniques and procedures for convoy security, she said.
The training gives Soldiers valuable insight into the details of the mission. This allows them to ask well-informed questions and get help from Soldiers more familiar with the area instead of worrying about the unknown, said Garcia, a Gainesville, Fla., native.
The 158th Support Maintenance Company out of Tallassee, Ala., is providing familiarization training for the 631st, in order to prepare the incoming unit for sustainment operations in the northern-most region of Iraq.
The 631st's mission is to provide convoy escorts to KBR, Inc., personnel, said 1st Lt. Travis J. Petersen, recovery platoon leader with the 158th.
Petersen, a Cherokee Village, Ark., native, said the 631st Soldiers are capable and came to Iraq with a good mindset, knowing what they would be doing. He said he tried to provide thorough training for their mission.
Garcia said Soldiers learn how to do their pre-combat checks and inspections, and convoy briefs before they leave on their missions.
"The 158th is really taking the time to give them detailed information so that when we actually do our transfer of authority, we're ready to take on the mission," said Garcia.
Sgt. Christopher B. Miller, truck commander with the 733rd Transportation Company out of Reading, Pa., who is currently assisting the 158th, said the 631st is up to par on its training and the Soldiers are willing to learn. He said they have a few more route recon missions to accomplish, but the transition is going very well.
"I've only been on the mission for the last three months, but it's a great mission," said Miller, a Palmyra, Pa., native.
Miller said it can be intense to have to be ready to roll outside the wire at all times. He also said the lighting systems, maintaining vehicles for the missions and constantly working on communication systems were obstacles the 631st would have to face.
"These guys will have no problem accomplishing the mission and being successful at it," said Miller.
Petersen said hauling vehicles out of Iraq has become a priority since the drawdown of U.S.
forces and equipment from the country began. The biggest lesson for Soldiers to learn is being able to adapt to any situation, said Petersen. He said it is hard for the Soldiers to be away from their homes and families, but as long as the noncommissioned officers work to ensure they take care of their equipment and responsibilities, the unit will succeed.
