Period: Qing dynasty (1644–1911)
Date: late 19th–early 20th century
Culture: China
Medium: Tapestry-woven silk and metallic thread (kesi)
Dimensions: 27 x 36 in. (68.6 x 91.4 cm)
Classification: Costumes-Tapestries
Credit Line: Gift of Florance Waterbury, 1945
Accession Number: 45.125.15
Tapestry-woven (kesi) silk and metallic thread Emblematic of summer and joy, butterflies have long inspired Chinese writers, artists, and even philosophers. For example, the Zhuangzi, a book of Daoist thought (ca. 300 A.D.), contains a story in which the purported author, Zhuangzi dreams he is a butterfly. By the late Tang dynasty, a story of "butterfly lovers" appeared in which a young couple, tragically thwarted in their wishes to wed, turn into a pair of butterflies and flutter away.
The delicate tapestry-woven (kesi) butterflies seen on the green background of this sleeveless jacket also occur on the black background of its border. Beginning in the second half of the nineteenth century, the borders at the edges of garments became increasingly elaborate.

text: That's the conclusion psychiatrist Gail Saltz came to when she was researching her book "Anatomy of a Secret Life." Dr. Saltz says keeping secrets, or living a secret life, provokes inner conflict, and that can lead to anxiety and chronic worry. Living like that for a long time produces sustained stress, which can result in a bunch of health issues like digestive problems, headaches, back pain, high blood pressure, even a weakened immune system. If you're prone to depression, the chronic stress from keeping secrets can make it even worse. Of course, it's natural to have some secrets or things you keep to yourself, but Dr. Saltz says secrets become a problem when we feel we can't tell anyone, maybe you feel guilty or ashamed of what you're doing. But when the number of secrets you're keeping starts to affect your relationships, the balance of power shifts, you no longer control the secret, it controls you. Your life starts revolving around covering your tracks. Your secret then cuts you off from other people. That's when you know it's a problem. So what can you do about living a secret life? Get help. The first step is telling someone you trust, who won't judge you, what's going on with you. If you or someone you know, needs this kind of help, start here: mentalhelp.net. And one more time, Dr Saltz's book is called "Anatomy of a Secret Life."

In New Jersey the state sets the high bar for school safety
This is part of a series from education blogger Laura Waters of NJ Left Behind.
This past Friday 20 young children and six adults were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut and, naturally, parents all over the country worry about whether or not their children are safe at school. A common misperception is that safety measures are locally controlled by a board of education or superintendent. In New Jersey, a combination of legislature and Department of Education oversight tightly regulates the way districts prepare for and respond to threats.
Historically, this statewide standardization stemmed from massacres like Columbine in 1999 and September 11th, 2001. Patrick Kissane, the incoming president of the N.J. Association of School Resource Officers noted, "we've come a long way in 13 years."
Every school in the state is required to annually update security plans and formalize relationships with local law enforcement. Updated blueprints of all buildings are distributed annually. Every school is required to hold at least one fire drill and one school security drill per month. At minimum, schools must hold two each year for active shooters, non-fire evacuations, bomb threats and lockdowns. Each sort of threat is described in specific terms by the Department of Education. For example, here is the section on active shooters (pdf):
"An Active Shooter or armed assault on school grounds involves one or more individuals' intent on causing physical harm to students and staff. Intruders may possess "weapons" which include but are not limited to: gun(s); assault rifle(s); explosives(s); knife(s) including all other edged weapons; or other harmful devices. In an active shooter situation one or more subjects who are believed to be armed/has used/has threatened to use a weapon to inflict series bodily injury or death on other person(s) and/or continues to do so while having unrestricted access to additional victims; their prior actions have demonstrated their intent to continuously harm others; and, their overriding objective appears to be that of mass injury and murder."
Of course there's some variation in security protocol from school to school: Lakewood High School installed metal detectors last Spring; Swedesboro-Woolwich School District locks all its doors during the school day; Freehold Borough was one of the first in the country to implement iris-scanning devices; the Vineland Police Department monitors local school buildings through a remote camera feed. Some districts hire security guards while others buy identity-confirmation software.
New Jersey is considered by many to have some of the most aggressive school safety measures in the country. We employ best practices and up our game when necessary. N.J. School Boards Association's Executive Director Lawrence Feinsod said on Tuesday that school officials are "reassessing their school security measures" and that "Dec. 14th was a game changer."
But here's the hard truth. Given all of New Jersey's administrative code and regulations and protocol and monthly drills, would our children be safe if a mentally unstable person armed with semi-automatic assault rifles shot his way into a school building, past the security cameras and retinal software and locked doors? No, of course not.
Meanwhile, legislators and lobbyists are responding in disparate ways. In Colorado, Gov. John Hickenlooper introduced legislation that would direct more resources towards emergency psychiatric services and speed information towards gun registries. In Tennessee, Sen. Frank Niceley will push a new bill that allows the state to pay for secretly armed teachers in classrooms. On Friday the National Rifle Association will hold a press conference intended to protect current gun laws.
Amidst all the jockeying, parents – in New Jersey and elsewhere – will continue to worry. Because a school isn't a sanctuary. It's a public building that can't be shrouded in a bullet-proof bubble. Pres. Obama said at an interfaith prayer vigil in Newtown, "It comes as a shock at a certain point where you realize, no matter how much you love these kids, you can't do it by yourself. That this job of keeping our children safe, and teaching them well, is something we can only do together, with the help of friends and neighbors, the help of a community, and the help of a nation. And in that way, we come to realize that we bear a responsibility for every child because we're counting on everybody else to help look after ours; that we're all parents; that they're all our children.
This is our first task -- caring for our children. It's our first job. If we don't get that right, we don't get anything right. That's how, as a society, we will be judged. And by that measure, can we truly say, as a nation, that we are meeting our obligations? Can we honestly say that we're doing enough to keep our children -- all of them -- safe from harm?"
I don't know what "enough" is, except it's somewhere in the vicinity of "all that we can." To me that means tighter gun control and better mental health services. We've enshrined the Second Amendment (the right for state militias to bear arms, by the way, not individuals) as some sort of iconic, untouchable ideal. Maybe we'd be better off if we worshipped at the altar of, as the President said, "keeping children safe and teaching them well."

London, July 6 (ANI): Samsung Electronics has forecast weaker-than-expected profits for the April to June quarter.
The world's biggest mobile phone and TV maker has estimated an operating profit of 9.5 trillion won, 8.3 billion dollars, for the quarter.
According to the BBC, most analysts had expected a figure closer to 10.1 trillion won.
The success of Samsung's smartphones has been key the company's recent growth. However, there have been concerns that its growth rate may be slowing despite the launch of new models.
Samsung shares fell 3.8 percent after the profit guidance. Its shares have dropped more than 15 percent since early June, the report said.
Research firm Strategy Analytics said Samsung accounts for almost 95 percent of the Android smartphone sector's profits.
Despite all that success, there have been concerns in recent weeks that the rate of growth that Samsung's smartphones have enjoyed in recent years may be slowing, a trend that may eventually hurt profits.
The concerns have been triggered in part by the launch of new products from rival manufacturers as well as relatively low-cost smartphones by Chinese firms, the report added. (ANI)

CCSvcHost.exe Hijacks My Computer!
Hello everyone,
First, a big thank you to Matt Phillips for his assistance getting me up and running here with my first post.
I have Nortons Internet Security 2009 (unable to find the version number in help/about) that was upgraded a little under a year ago from NIS 2008. Over the past two months, with increasing frequency the "CCSvcHst.exe" file, on a completely random basis with no discernible pattern, will literally hijack my computer, and lock up the CPU with 99% usage. It can happen on any type of task, from clicking on a website link, to working with a word document offline, and one time it even locked up when I clicked on Nortons own "run live update".
My computer is an HP Pavilion Laptop running Windows XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, SP3, AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology ML-34, 1.79 GHz processor, 1.00 GB RAM.
I am not running any other Nortons programs, and I am not using any additional external or internal drives beyond the system C: drive. I have made no configuration changes to my computer other than regular Windows OS automatic updates.
So far this is what I have tried:
Contacted Nortons online support and under their instructions, ran "services.msc" , cycling Nortons status from automatic to disabled and back to automatic, restart Nortons, and restart the computer. This cleared the problem for about 4 days and then it returned.
After researching this issue on the web, I tried one suggestion of disabling Nortons automatic live updates and running all updates and scans manually. This worked for about a week, but now the problem is returning and seems to be increasingly aggressive, hogging my CPU and slowing me down to a crawl. Only a restart will clear the problem, until it appears (inevitably) again.
My search for "CCSvcHost.exe - CPU usage" on Google returned over 66,000 hits. From reading many of these links, it is abundantly clear that this issue is a VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM affecting potentially thousands of Nortons customers.
The bottom line is I need a permanent solution to this problem, not temporary fixes, or I will have no choice but to cancel my Nortons subscription and go to a different security product, which I really DO NOT want to do.
I am a senior member, moderator and regular participant on the Avid Video Community Forum and know full well the value of a collective world wide group of users. We solve problems regularly for other video editors all over the world without the need for them to spend money on tech support. I'm hoping the same kind of thing can happen here, and a permanent fix can be found.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Best regards to the hive mind,
Re: CCSvcHost.exe Hijacks My Computer!
Welcome to the Norton Community forums!!!!
I believe that this issue is addressed in our latest version. If you have a valid subscription for your 2009 product, I suggest you to update to the 2010 version. You can find a similar case reported here.
You can download and install the Norton Internet Security 2010 product from the link:
You need to run the Norton Removal Tool to remove your 2009 version first. Then install the 2010 version.
Re: CCSvcHost.exe Hijacks My Computer!

Cine 4
371 Middletown Avenue,
New Haven,
2 people favorited this theater
Finest quality films at affordable pricing. Best popcorn, popped right before your eyes, in the center of the lobby. Free parking, easy access from I-91. Good sound, good picture, help is very accomodating.

It's been at least 15 years since I visited this theater. The reason I stopped going there, even though I lived nearby for many years, was that the theater experience was absolutely awful. The theater was originally designed for two separate auditoriums, but each was split AGAIN. Result was that seats faced toward the wall, rather than the screen. Further, this theater was a small one to begin with. When the auditoriums were split, the new screens were ridiculously small. It was like watching TV!
Now, all of this was 15 years ago. Has anything changed, here? I doubt it!
This was mentioned in the New Haven Advocate's Annual Manual saying, "OUt in the oft-forgotten Foxon part of town, with well-worn seats and decor and accoutrements that create sensation of being trapped in the '70s – to its proponents, those are its charms. It's like the Salvation Army Store of movie theaters, and in line with that analogy, you can see indie and second-run mainstream movies for budget prices.
I wouldn't say the Cine-4 has "budget pricing". As of Feb. 2008, a matinee costs 6.50 and regular price is 9.00, really hefty considering that the surroundings are so shabby. Picture and sound are both mediocre. I was disappointed that the print I saw (of a first-run movie) was so beat up. On the plus side— they didn't show any commercials or previews before the movie started. I haven't been to the Criterion theater in New Haven, but if it only costs a dollar more for better screenings, I don't see any reason to go back to the Cine-4.
If you enjoy warehouse theaters this is not for you. The place has been cleaned up and the seats are more comfortable and the atmosphere is welcoming. There is always parking available and you don't need a shuttle bus to get to the building. This is really an adult theater, kids on their cell phones aren't haunting the place. No frills. You walk in, buy your ticket and sit down. It's that simple. Try it.

If I log into hulu on my computer, I show an unwatched episode of House in my queue.
If I log into hulu on my roku player and look at the main Hulu screen where it lists what I guess are the top 6 or so shows in the "coverflow" style, I see that same episode of House available and can watch it by selecting it.
But if I go to my queue it shows "House" listed, but when I select it to play the episode, it says "0 Episodes" and doesn't have anything for me to watch. If I then go to the subscriptions to see the episodes it does not show the most recent episode.
What gives?
I'm new to this whole thing so I apologize if this is a dumb question.

This still makes catching up in standby mode slower, as you get many more restartpoints. The reason for ignoring checkpoint_segments during recovery was to avoid that. Maybe it's still better than what we have currently, I'm not sure, but at least it needs to be discussed. Would be good to do some performance testing of recovery with various checkpoint_segments and _timeout settings, with and without this patch. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com

Father told of his fears and pride for hero son
A Shropshire father had spoken of his fears for his soldier son four years before he was killed in a blast in Afghanistan.
A Shropshire father had spoken of his fears for his soldier son four years before he was killed in a blast in Afghanistan.
Shropshire businessman Patrick Bowers said of his courageous son Rupert: "We are very proud of him although a little anxious over his wish to return to the frontline as soon as possible, but if that is what he wants, we will support him all the way."
Today, the 64-year-old, who lives in Moreton Corbet, near Shawbury, was trying to come to terms with the reality that his worst fears had been realised.
Captain Rupert Bowers was killed by an improvised explosive device in Afghan-istan on Wednesday.
Mr Bowers talked about his brave son in March 2008 after Rupert, then a Second Lieutenant, had received a gallantry award that had been won on only his third day on the frontline in Helmand Province. He was mentioned in Dispatches for the part he played in rescuing wounded soldiers while fighting with Taliban forces near Garmsir.
After receiving his award, the soldier, who was educated at Kingsland Grange School in Shrewsbury, said: "The Taliban opened fire, hitting four of our men. The enemy were dug in just yards away. I put two rounds into the chest of one who had shot at us and killed him, then one of our corporals was hit.
"I gave him my rifle and told him to cover me whilst I rescued two other men who had suffered phosphorous burns to the eyes and throat.
"I led all three of them to safety and then went back into the killing zone to assist with the rescue of two more comrades."
Lieutenant Colonel Colin Marks, Commanding Officer, Combined Force Burma, 2nd Battalion of the Mercian Regiment (2 Mercian), said: "A gifted officer, he excelled in the field and was happiest when leading men in battle.
"Possessing the heart of a lion, he was mentioned in Dispatches for gallantry on this, his first of three tours of duty.
"The bravest of the brave, he died as he lived, leading from the front in the face of the enemy."
Lt Col William Wright, Commanding Officer, Brigade Advisory Group, 2nd Battalion The Rifles, said Capt Bowers had an 'infectious smile' and showed 'immense dedication to his men'.

I frightened myself....
Today was one of those long days, we all have them. I am sick, my son came home super worked up because the MCAS tests start tomorrrow. He was all over the place loud, repeating, ticking...you name it. I asked many times for him to settle down and then he accidently almost tripped me down our long flight of stairs and I got so mad that I actually raised my hand like I was going to hit him. I have never done that before...I don't know what came over me. I didn't do it but he saw me and kind of flinched. I broke into tears and hugged him. It was a wake up call to me. I have to find a way to make my life simpler so I can spend more time with him and slow down. This is no way to live...raising my son is a full time job, I am our soul support. Something has to change...thanks ladies for listening- xo
Hugs Kari... Wish you were closer so I could drop off soup and help you.
Hugs mama...it's been a rough few weeks for me as well. I know how you feel. I really do.
This won't help you, but I smoke. (Cigarettes ladies, just cigarettes) my reason....I smoke so my kids can live! My doctor asks me every time I go for check up, you ready to sell the kids (way less harsh then asking if I want to kill them lol), nope I say and all he says is let me know when you are. Yes they are bad for me, but that 3/4 minute alone time(I don't smoke in house) does me wonders. I'm saving my becoming a raging alcoholic til all the kids are out lol. (That was a joke yes I have a sick sense of humor) YOU, MY WONDERFUL CAFE MOM FRIEND STOPPED YOURSELF, KUDOS FOR THAT. YOU ALSO REALIZE YOU NEED A BREAK AGAIN KUDOS. BEG, PLEAD, BARTER, WITH SOMEONE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO BREAK A WEEK. yes even that hour or two does wonders. Step outside, take a deep breath in and release, do 5 or 10 more times. It does help, even without the cigarette lol.
Hugs Mama! I hope something gives for you soon and you get a break! You're a great Mom, and doing a wonderful job. You're just over worked, over stressed, and under relaxed/supported! Hugs.
When we are sick it's Always so difficult. Hang in there!
:( Hugs mama...
def have been there before
Thanks Darby, coming from you that means a lot. I know what a great mom you are. It has been a long winter hasn't it? I just feel pulled in too many directions...xo sorry you are having a hard time :(
Quoting darbyakeep45:
Hugs mama...it's been a rough few weeks for me as well. I know how you feel. I really do.
It makes me feel better to know that you understand, it was just a moment in time where I thought- something has to change. That I am this stressed out doesn't make sense...I love my little boy and would never want to do or say anything to hurt him. Thanks- xo

Delta tunnels would decimate north state
I recently read a front-page San Francisco Chronicle report that the delta tunnel plan is called a fish death sentence. It suggests the state's plan to build a pair of 35-mile tunnels under the delta would cause the extinction of winter-run chinook salmon, steep declines in dozens of other species and devastate water quality in San Francisco Bay.
Of course there is barely a mention in the north's flagship paper how these tunnels will turn much of Northern California into Owens Valley (for those educated in California public schools this refers to the California Water Wars where Los Angeles turned Owens Valley into a desert). The Chronicle noted "This plan puts the estuary on a scaffold and the interests of south valley agriculture on a throne. It's going to make the delta look like an Arkansas lake warm water and no flow."
Jones finally admits in the end of the article the delta plan is backed by Gov. Jerry Brown as well as dozens of water agencies, cities and farming groups, mostly in Southern California. My wife commented watching TV about the huge L.A. water line break; "forget about the leak look at all those perfect lawns (our lawn being killed to be replaced by drought tolerant plants)."
This is another reason you environmentalists, fish lovers, and plain freedom loving people should look into the State of Jefferson. We would gain 10 more U.S. senators to represent everyone's interest's not just Southern California. Our new state can protect our water.

Farm Table South Charleston WV - Closed!
2010/10/13 11:58:37
Not that I plan to be back in Charleston WV, but its sad news for those who live in the area or plan to visit.
I thought the Farm Table was even better than the closed
Southern Kitchen
in Charleston, now that the replacement has closed, I wonder if there is a replacement for the replacement?

That's really too bad. I got to eat at the Farm Table a couple of times, once in the '80s and again in the '90s. I preferred the Southern Kitchen in Kanawha City, though.
Re:Farm Table South Charleston WV - Closed!
2010/10/14 08:59:09
I went to both places back to back in 2007.
The Farm Table
for dinner and
Southern kitchen
the following day for breakfast.
The country ham at both places were some of the best I've ever had, but the red eye gravy at
the Farm Table
edged out the Southern Kitchen. What I also liked about
the farm table
is that their menu offered a larger variety of main courses, sides and desserts so I was able to choose items at
the farm table
that wouldn't have been available at
Southern Kitchen

I am also sorry to see
The Farm Table
close down. Like Michael, I thought
Southern Kitchen
was better, but
The Farm Table
was still good, especially the pies. Of course, I only had one dinner there.
On the heels of
Blossom Deli
closing down, it makes me wonder what is going in in Charleston, WV.

A new dash king was crowned as the almost invincible Dongjun was dethroned by Baro in a photo finish. We are definitely looking forward to their race again this Summer!
B1A4's Baro - 6.39s
ZE:A's Dongjun - 6.43s
INFINITE's Hoya - 6.53s
- 50m Hurdles:
Dongjun flew out of the starting blocks and won with relative ease. He made a call out to record holder, SHINee's Minho to return at the next meet for a showdown.
ZE:A's Dongjun
INFINITE's Woohyun
Boyfriend's Donghyun
- 200m Walking Relay Race:
The pivotal moment came in the 3rd leg as Doojoon overtook Kim Jong Min whose team had been leading, and eventually cruised home the winners.

ZE:A (Junyoung, Minwoo, Dongshik, Dongjun)
B1A4 (Baro, Sandeul, Gongchan, Jinyoung)

Dalmation's Daniel - 33.96s
Marco - 36.69s
> Women's Events

NS Yoon G
Girl's Day MinAh
- 50m Dash:
Seemingly a repeat of the hurdles race, with Bomi, Bora and Ga Eun in the final, together with Eunji who won the 100m outdoor race at the last meet. Another thrilling race which was won by Ga Eun as she simply powered her way from the start to finish to win the gold medal.
Dal Shabet's Ga Eun
Nine Muses' Eunji
SISTAR's Bora
- 50m Hurdles:
A thrilling race from start to finish as Bomi flew out of the starting blocks and never looked back. Bora who won at the previous meet and Ga Eun tried their best to catch up but failed to do so.
A Pink's Bomi - 9.82s
SISTAR's Bora - 9.92s
Dal Shabet's Ga Eun - 10.12s

A perfect walk at the track for the SISTAR girls who led from the start and never looked back. Their 2nd consecutive gold medal win for the event.

Davichi (Minkyung, Haeri), T-ara (Hyomin, Qri)
G.NA, 4minute (Sohyun, Jihyun, Jiyoon)

SISTAR continued their dominance by picking up their 4th consecutive gold medal. Unlike the last meet which was too close to call, SISTAR led from the start and cruised to the finish this time.
SISTAR (Hyorin, Dasom, Soyu, Bora)
Nine Muses, Jewelry (Eunji, Ye Won, Kyung Lee, Lee Saem)
After School (UEE, Lizzy, Jooyeon, Kahi)
- 50m Swim:
It looked to be another neck-to-neck final race after first-time participant, Minha had pipped the defending champion, Woori in the qualifying round. And it proved to be indeed a thrilling final race as Minha led Woori before the latter managed to catch up and it was simply too close to call. In the end, Woori just about managed to hold off the competition to win her 2nd consecutive gold medal at the swim event. Minha surprisingly ended up 3rd as she did not touch the panel at the end hard enough to register her timing. Despite flying off the blocks the latest, Rania's T-ae came in second.
Rainbow's Woori - 44.41s
Rania's T-ae - 46.98s
Nine Muses' Minha - 47.70s

LSE Annual Fund and Margaret Bennet Scholar
I heard about LSE from an alumnus; I then researched about the school and decided to apply for the LLM program having studied my bachelor's in Law at Makerere University, Kampala. I was offered a place and given a scholarship by the LSE Fund and Margaret Bennet.
Studying at LSE has been such a great opportunity for me. I have had the privilege of being taught by some of the world's best tax professors, using up to standard and interactive teaching methods with a wide coverage of topics and jurisdictions. Being at LSE also enabled me to meet students from all over the world and learn from their experiences. The Careers Department at the School has helped to shape my dreams and aspirations. My experience at LSE has given me a different perspective of the world and opened up a gateway for my career.
Apart from the academics, I had the opportunity of enjoying the city of London, visiting museums, the London Eye and the theatres.
I intend to go back to Uganda and use the knowledge and experience that I have acquired to work either for the government or private sector and with time, use the entrepreneurial skills to start up a business.
LSE is the university to be at!

Clipper Group Whitepaper : Storage Efficiency - Achieve up to 40% reduction in cost per TB
When you go into the supermarket do you ever wonder how many different products are on the shelves? Do you wonder how they determine what goes on each shelf? All of the shelves are shared among many products so what gets placed on the bottom shelf and what goes on the top? How do they determine the value of each shelf? As a good rule of thumb – the better the space efficiency, the better is the opportunity to maximize the return on the shelf space. The same principle applies for the data storage.
In this whitepaper, read about the quest for storage efficiency and why should your data center deploy Storwize V7000 or Storwize V7000 Unified with Real-time Compression. From an economic standpoint, these systems provide the enterprise with the financial benefits it needs to meet the growing storage requirements within the limits of a constrained budget

Investment Pros Share Some Ideas
This is the time of year when investment managers release their quarterly holdings, and yesterday was also the annual gathering of the Ira Sohn investment conference in New York City. Over the past couple of years, this conference has become a spawning ground for some of the most closely watched ideas.
This year was no different. Once again, one of most highly anticipated presentations was by David Einhorn, regarding his latest target. Many analysts suspected it would be the health care marketing company Herbalife (HLF), since Einhorn expressed some concerns on the company's latest conference call. But it turns out that Einhorn's latest target was the concrete and cement company Martin Marietta (MLM).
Since Einhorn omitted Herbalife from his presentation yesterday, that sent Herbalife shares up 17%, while Martin Marietta immediately dropped nearly 10%....362 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

JON LORD - Concerto For Group And Orchestra Due September 25th; BRUCE DICKINSON, JOE BONAMASSA, STEVE MORSE Guest
August 8, 2012, 5 years ago
JON LORD, the long-time DEEP PURPLE keyboardist, always wanted a studio recording of his famed Concerto For Group And Orchestra. Only recently did he publicly make this wish a reality. In what turned out to be his swan song, he recorded Concerto For Group and Orchestra.
Lord assembled guest musicians such as IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson, JOE BONAMASSA (BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION) and Deep Purple guitarist Steve Morse in the Abbey Road Studios, to work with his trusted partner, director Paul Mann, on the 2012 version of the legendary concert.
"Over these last years since leaving Deep Purple, I've played it over 30 times with different orchestras and conductors all over the world, and, of course, in 2000 I did it well over 30 times with Purple on the Concerto tour, so I've been honing the piece live on stage, and I've had the opportunity to change things in the score that weren't sounding quite right. It is therefore a marvelous and exciting prospect to have the definitive recording of the definitive version of the score." (Jon Lord May 2011)
On July 16, 2012, Jon Lord passed away in London at 71 years old. This album is a joyful testament of a great musician and fantastic man.
"His dignity and graciousness touched us all. His music was an inspiration and took us to places beyond our imagination… A truly great man. We humbly express our eternal love and great respect." – Tribute from Deep Purple upon the passing of Jon Lord.
Jon Lord's Concerto For Group And Orchestra will be released by Eagle Rock Entertainment on September 25th and features the following tracklisting:
'Movement One'
'Movement Two'
'Movement Three'

Truckin Fast Wednesdays: Mega Cab Ram Screams Down the Quarter Mile
The Mega Cab Ram powered by the Cummins Turbo Diesel engine is among the heaviest factory packages in the history of the Ram truck so it is traditionally not a model that many associate with being fast but this week's Truckin' Fast Wednesday feature looks at one of those massive Mega Cab pickups ripping through the quarter mile in the low 12 second range.
To be exact, this 6,000 pound heavy hauling Ram Mega Cab smokes its way down the track strip with a time of 12.249 and a trap speed of 111.67 miles per hour. For reference, this is a 6,000+ pound Ram Heavy Duty that will very comfortably seat 5 adults while beating some of the best performing sports cars sold in America today…including the likes of the modern Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, Corvette and even some older Vipers.
Most of our very fast Cummins powered Ram HD trucks that we feature show up on DF as a part of our Black Fridays feature but with this oil burner hissing its way along the pavement with very little soot pouring from the exhaust – this truck doesn't turn the sky black but it is most definitely Truckin Fast.

Red Stripe Beer
A type of Lager made in Jamaica. It is bottled in England by a company on behalf of Desnoes & Geddes in Jamaica.
Their meeting was simple enough. One morning, two youngsters came upon each other in the offices of West Indies Mineral and Table Water Company in Kingston, Jamaica. "My name is Thomas Hargreaves Geddes," said the newcomer. The other smiled. "Glad to make your acquaintance! I've been here a bit. I'm Eugene Desnoes."
And so, for the first time, Desnoes and Geddes shook hands. Neither of them could have imagined that this would mark the beginning of an extraordinary partnership. A partnership that has given the world Red Stripe Lager, The Great Jamaican Beer.
In 1927 Desnoes and Geddes announced the opening of the Surrey Brewery on Pechon Street in the heart of downtown Kingston. The first Red Stripe Beer-more like an ale, heavy and dark-was brewed a year later. The birth of Red Stripe would later be considered a milestone in Jamaican history. When the island gained independence from Britain in 1962, a columnist for The Daily Gleaner wrote "the real date of independence should have been 1928, when we established our self respect and self confidence through the production of a beer far beyond the capacity of mere Colonial dependants." The light, golden Red Stripe of today was first brewed in 1934, the creation of Paul Geddes (later Jamaica's first brewmaster) and Bill Martindale. The old Surrey Brewery on Pechon Street was phased out in 1958 when the ultra-modern plant at Hunt's Bay went into operation. This was the most modern brewery in the Caribbean.

Google recently announced that they were getting ready to roll out a new version of Maps, a product I use pretty heavily. Living in a city like San Francisco that doesn't heavily depend on a grid system and being a person who gets around via bicycle or public transportation means I rarely have any idea how to get where I'm going, but access to searchable, customizable web-based mapping software means I at least look like I know what I'm doing. (Most of the time.)
I signed up to be an early tester and recently gained access to the new system. I haven't spent hours with it, but so far I'm pretty impressed. Their team has addressed a number of problems that I've had with Maps in the past. Visually, I find it generally more appealing than previous iterations, but I question a couple of their UX decisions.
Note: I'm browsing in Lite Mode, because the non-Lite mode apparently requires OS 10.8. None of my computers use it, so I'm sure there are things I'm missing out on. I hope that when the new Maps actually rolls out, it's more accessible.
Welcome to the new Google Maps. Let's start with driving directions.
The usual players are here: turn by turn directions, point A to point B. I got Beer Revolution's address by searching for it in my directions bar, an experience that has wildly improved. It's hard to quantify why, but something about the searching I've done so far has felt faster, smoother, and more accurate at predicting what business I'm actually looking for.
Current Google Maps users will notice that we've got much more screen real estate than we used to, all dedicated to the map. I like this a lot. The overview is great and the map is generally what I'm most interested in, so removing the sidebar (used in previous versions for photos from surrounding locations, links to business reviews and other content) is a welcome change. More map is a great thing.
One great thing about the Google Maps app is its access to traffic information. I can't tell you how many times I've been a passenger in a car coming home over the Golden Gate Bridge, only to hit a wall of traffic somewhere in Marin County. I'll immediately reach for my phone to pull up Google Maps and get an update on how long we'll be sitting here and where the major snags are. (Like it matters; we're stuck there anyway. Still, knowledge is power.) The timing is often scary-accurate.
The problem with how traffic is interpreted in the desktop version of Maps is that aside from one "Currently…" message in the top bar, it's difficult to really understand what's going on. There are a lot of conflicting line weights here, and the label for the route still claims it'll take 24 minutes (despite the "Currently 51 minutes" message a few pixels to the right).
Opening the step-by-step panel creates an additional issue, but let's tackle the traffic problem first. Despite sticking with the traffic overlay (as it should), there is now no indicator whatsoever that you're going to be in traffic for 27 minutes longer than anticipated. This is a trip that will take twice as long as it would if it wasn't 3:45 in the afternoon. That's a really necessary piece of information that's getting lost in the shuffle. Worse, it's not even getting lost – the largest type at the top of the directions list is just blatantly wrong.
When I clicked the step-by-step link, I assumed the natural behavior would be to expand the panel shown in the previous image. Instead, we're taken to a brand new view. It's not unattractive – quite the opposite – but it is completely inconsistent with the previous experience. It doesn't appear to me that there's a good justification for that decision. If that panel was expanded, it'd still be larger than the previous iterations of Maps, allowing for greater type legibility and the same visually clean approach we see here. The two layouts feel startlingly disconnected.
It was a really great day for me when Maps came out with bicycling directions. San Francisco is a hilly place, but there's usually a smarter route you can take within a few blocks that will be a much more pleasant experience. Dedicated bike lanes and wide, sharrow-painted streets abound if you know where to look. The Bay Area is also a particularly pleasant place to ride your bike great distances, like the one shown above.
Previous versions of Maps would show you every single nearby bike route with a green overlay when you looked for cycling directions, which is fun to explore but not always necessary when you're just trying to get from one point to the next. I like that they've simplified the layout here, making it more consistent with other modes of transportation. (Though I haven't found overlay options, which makes me wonder if that's a Lite view issue. If you have access to non-Lite and yours looks completely different, please let me know and I'll update accordingly.)
I'm given two basic bicycle routes, both of which I've ridden and are good routes to take. I love the hidden card visual choice here – it's reminiscent of Google Now, which I've raved about in the past and continue to love. I like the gray vs. blue approach to differentiate the paths and I'm particularly pleased with how the times and distances are labeled.
The same issues apply on step-by-step directions here that we saw in driving directions. Also frustrating is that the option to see my alternate route has been removed. I appreciate the decision to simplify (there might not actually be a reason for you to compare the two routes in a turn-by-turn list format), but deciding between two routes is now a feature exclusively limited to the visual overview. Jumping in and out of step-by-step mode to explore options feels unnecessary.
Walking directions are great, represented with a blue dotted line instead of the solid line used for faster modes of transportation. (I'll skip getting catty over neighborhood names, but I'd just like to point out that no one has ever asked me to meet them in Dolores Heights in my entire life.) The alternate route representation that I like in bicycling directions finds a home here as well, but the same issue of hiding alternate routes in step-by-step vs. full map view still applies.
It's a nice touch to have a simplified version of nearby rail options represented on the walking map. San Francisco has two major transit agencies within the city: BART, a rapid transit option that runs underground through downtown and into the Mission District, and Muni, which operates both buses and rail. Including bus stops might be beneficial for more rural areas, but if you were to do that on the map above you'd have literally hundreds of dots at nearly every intersection. By streamlining to just nearby rail stops, you remind walkers that there's a shortcut if they're interested, without beating them over the head with options they never asked for.
Transit directions are where Maps has always really shined, and the new version of Maps has made some great improvements. In dense urban areas, there are often many different transit lines you can take, depending on how much you're willing to walk. From my corner of the city, you could feasibly take BART, the 12, the 14, the 27, and five or six other options if you're willing to hoof it half a mile or so. There's a lot of overlap between some of those routes – if you're going from, say, 26th and Mission to 16th and Mission and want to rest your feet, the 14 and the 49 are identical choices.
There's a lot of information represented on the map above. You can take either the Pittsburgh/Bay Point or the Richmond BART line to 12th street, and then you can take one of six buses down Broadway. (Or, as shown in the second option, you can walk a few blocks down Broadway and actually shave a minute off your travel time.) Google Maps used to represent all of these permutations as completely different routes, which, for the purposes of this specific destination, they aren't. You can get on either of those BART lines and any of those buses and get where you're going. It's a very thoughtful way to represent all of those options.
The step-by-step directions are similar to what we've seen before, and I know I've criticized how visually different the two layouts are, but I do want to commend the Maps team for their work on the timeline at the top. It's not unusual for transit users to look up their options well before leaving the house – sometimes transit times can surprise you. I love the timeline view. The minute-by-minute view makes it so easy to see how long you'll be walking, how long you'll be sitting on a train, and makes it pretty easy to tell if you should walk or take a bus for a couple of stops. The second line suggesting that you could walk a few blocks or take the 72 for a really short period of time goes a long way to convince someone that they should just walk it instead, a thing that's harder to understand on a map view.
There was a BART delay yesterday, and you can see that represented on the step-by-step instructions. I really wish that was represented on the map view, and it makes little sense that it wasn't. It was a system-wide issue, reported on BART's official website. Transit delays are notoriously difficult to predict, so I don't mind the time not being updated, but a heads-up before you view the full route breakdown would have helped. I use these lines regularly, and if it wouldn't have been for wanting to get a screenshot for this post I wouldn't have gone to the step-by-step page at all. I suspect I'm not alone on that.
So the new Google Maps is rad.
I'm really looking forward to watching Google roll out Maps across devices. I don't know if a mobile version is in the works, but I'd be surprised if it was terribly far behind. Their preview page declares "the more you use the new Google Maps, the more helpful it becomes", which sounds promising. There's a lot of intuition here that I recognize from Google Now, and I think that's great. I've had previous issues with Maps' intuitive features – recognizing "home", for example, has always been inconsistent for me – but the newest version made searching and getting where I wanted to go a breeze. A little more attention could be paid to visual consistency, but this is still a huge step up from where Maps has been for years.
A couple edits:
A few friends who are also in preview mode have noticed a couple of issues that I didn't cover here. Hopefully they'll be fixed in the final launch, because they're pretty big ones. I assume Maps is rolling out in preview in a limited capacity, but a couple things you may notice as you're moving around:
@jrizzo I really hope they integrate and expand the "My Maps" functionality. Right not it reverts to old maps when clicked.

@jrizzo New google maps. Route point a to b. now try C. D. E. They killed multi-route directions. I switched back in ten seconds.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
I really understand your point. You get him who has no money and he brings someone else along who has less money. This is a recipe for disaster. He may be as big of a mooch as she is. You don't need to support 2 adults. If he has his act together and she wasn't part of the deal that is one thing. But who needs all of their baggage. I would look for a boyfriend who doesn't come with a sister. He may talk to her but how long is that going to last. You have to find a relationship that is with someone who is financially and emotionally supportive. You need help too. don't be the only rock solid person in a relationship. If you are going to pursue this stand your ground. Make sure you give firm boundaries and they don't include her. The money needs to be centered on the needs of the two of you. Make that clear. You are not being unreasonable.
You were right

This is not my picture. As you can tell it's lighter and brighter. I found this on Pinterest.
What a WONDERFUL idea! It had no directions but, it looks simple enough.
Oh. So sorry about my hotdog/pickle post- posting twice.
Well,actually it didn't post twice. I'm going to explain. =)
I made my first post, I was so happy about it and then my computer stalled, or was it the Q? I'm blaming Q. Anyway.. I thought, I've got to post this.. so I posted it again.
Well, guess what? My computer stalled again. I thought about hiding under a rock for a couple days - till it all past.
TG! Those posts are on the second page now.
So, I thought I'd give you strawberries and chocolates w/o directions in order to explain matters.

The two operations - which involved dozens of game wardens -- focused on detecting and reducing criminal activity including apprehending poachers, trespassers, human smugglers, and drug smugglers in rural areas along the south Texas border region. Operation Brush Guard took place near Kingsville and Falfurrias while Operation Tilapia focused on Lake Falcon, near Zapata. The combined operations included integral support from the U.S. Border Patrol, county sheriffs and the Texas Department of Public Safety. While on Lake Falcon, game wardens seized nearly two tons of marijuana from three boats while conducting surveillance on gill netters from Mexico. During Operation Brush Guard, 345 pounds of marijuana and 3.9 grams of cocaine were seized. Additionally, game wardens filed 14 citations and warnings, and made 4 arrests. In total, seizures from both operations included 10,240 feet of illegal gill net, 5 vessels, 4 outboard motors, 9 vehicles, 3.9 grams of cocaine, and 4,291 pounds of marijuana. -30-

A four-goal deficit after the first period proved too deep a hole for the Windsor Spitfires to escape Friday.
Vail says Spits hit rock bottom
The Windsor Spitfires weren't trying to paint a positive picture for finding a way to get back into Friday's game against the Sarnia Sting.
Rallying from a four-goal deficit after the first period, the Spitfires twice pulled to within a goal in the third period before falling 8-5 to the Sting before 3,210 at the RBC Centre.
"I've been here three years and I think this has to be rock bottom," Spitfires centre Brady Vail said.
The loss extended the team's season-high losing streak to seven games. Over that span, the Spitfires have allowed at least one goal in all 21 periods. The club has yielded 44 goals over that stretch (an average of 6.3 a game) and scored just 19 goals (an average of 2.7 a game).
"We're letting in eight or nine goals a game and you can't win allowing eight or nine a game," Spitfires defenceman Trevor Murphy said. "That means you have to score 10 and it just makes no sense."
The club's defensive-zone coverage in the opening period Friday was virtually nonexistent as the Sting jumped to a 4-0 lead.
"They probably had seven or eight three-on-twos in the first period," Murphy said. "That put us in a big hole."
Nikolay Goldobin, Taki Pantziris, Bryan Moore and Charlie Sarault scored against starting goalie Jordan DeKort , who was replaced by Jaroslav Pavelka after giving up four goals on 15 shots.
"It's identifying things early coming into the zone," Spitfires head coach Bob Boughner said of the defensive breakdowns. "I don't think we were very strong in our end and we didn't get a save when we needed it from either goalie."
Sarnia was also forced to change goalies to start the second period when overager J.P. Anderson was forced to leave with an apparent hip injury. Backup Brodie Barrick is out with a broken ankle forcing the Sting to turn to Knick Dawe, who had been playing junior A in Georgetown.
"If it wasn't for their goalie getting hurt, we might not have gotten a goal," Murphy said.
Whether it was Sarnia trying to play too defensive protecting the lead and Dawe or Windsor sensing an opportunity, the Spitfires quickly cut the lead to 4-2 on a pair of Ben Johnson goals.
Another Windsor breakdown resulted in an Anthony DeAngelo goal before the Spitfires were able to pull back to within 5-3 after 40 minutes on a goal that was credited to rookie Patrick Sanvido.
"It's the attention to details, especially in the defensive zone," Vail said. "We're not doing to keep them out (of the net)."
The Spitfires got a pair of goals in the third period from Nick Ebert to twice pull within a goal. Each time, the Sting had an answer to restore their two-goal lead on goals by Reid Boucher and Goldobin.
"You can't really call that a comeback," Vail said. "We got a couple of goals, but it wasn't enough."
Sarault scored into an empty net to end any more hopes for the Spitfires, who held a 43-36 edge in shots.
"There's nothing right now," Boughner said. "There's no light at the end of the tunnel."
The Spitfires return to action Thursday with the Brampton Battalion coming to the WFCU Centre. Game time is 7:05 p.m.
Defenceman Pat Sieloff is expected back from the world junior tournament and rookie Josh Ho-Sang from the world under-17 tournament.
Thursday is also the OHL trade deadline date and the Spitfires could still bolster the roster with a deal by that point
"We get some guys back, but you still have to play defence," Boughner said.

Gave up on HPT374 driver, suggestions please for RAID 5 card/cabable mobo for RAID 5?
I've been putting off transferring my fileserver's OS from W2K3 to Debian Etch for about half a year or so and now due to some unfortunate circumstances, the opportunity has presented itself. The file server runs an 800 GB RAID 5 formatted NTFS on 3 Western Digital WD4000YR 400GB SATA drives which connect to a highpoint 1640 RAID card, a Western Digital WD3000JB 300GB IDE drive also formatted NTFS and an 80GB IDE drive serving as a system drive for W2K3 which I have other plans for. The fileserver died a couple of days ago and I took it as the perfect opportunity to make the switch for the file server. I put the Highpoint 1640 into my main tower with the 800GB NTFS RAID 5 and hoped Debian Etch (which I have dual booting with XP Pro on that tower) would recognize the card and that everything would go smoothly.
I wish it had been that easy. The card/RAID was not detected and I went to highpoint's site looking for a driver for Linux, hoping for a .deb package. I ended up compiling the driver from source (will provide more details on request) but upon the insmod command and the RAID being detected and mounted there were problems from the very beginning. Upon trying to play MP3 files from the RAID with a few different apps (Amarok, and noatun) a pattern emerged. The song would play fine for a few moments, before sputtering with crackles and pops and then the application either locking up or stopping the song as if it were finished. Upon using 'dmesg | tail -n 50' I found that 'hpt374 reset pid' or something similar to it (I'll need to double check when I get home) was happening every time the problems with the MP3s occurred. I honestly don't know what having that come up in dmesg means but I've seen some posts where people say that it is a "kernel reset".
A similar problem occurs if I try to transfer a file from the RAID to my home directory. The file will begin to transfer but at an extremely slow speed, usually 32KBps or so. It will then slow to about 30bps and stay there until I cancel out of it. The same "hpt374 reset pid" problem comes up in dmesg. I can never find the referenced pid numbers in ps aux.
Looking around various forums I don't think I've found a single instance of someone compiling the drivers from source for the highpoint 1640 and having success. Because of this I would appreciate it if someone could suggest a RAID card that supports SATA (the 1.5GBps variety) and RAID 5 that is known to play nicely with linux, ideally debian in particular. I don't mind hardware vs software or even if it is an onboard chipset with a motherboard, although I'd really prefer a separate card. Links to the hardware I'm going to use to replace the file server are as follows.
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128018 (flexible to changing this)
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115003
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820220088
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341002
not sure if all that info is necessary but I'd rather give too much info than not enough =).
Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this, I hope you can help me with this annoying issue.
(edited on 12-27 21:21 GMT for clarity/paragraphs)
my buddy uses an Areca card, that he's very happy with. he's about as picky as it gets when choosing hardware, so i'd say if he bought it, it's probably as good as it gets.
i believe it's this one -- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16816131004
but i am not 100% sure (i know its 8 ports, 4 lanes, but models change in the course of a day in computer land).
full hardware cards are going to run you upwards of at least 300 bucks (a 4 port sata 2 on sale) to 1,000 (a 12 port sata 2 regular price), and now-a-days will all be PCI-Express.
i didn't want to upgrade my rig just yet - thus leaving me with only regular PCI slots... so when i went to add 4 additional sata 2 drives, i was stuck with linux software raid (mdadm) but its really not that bad, i've actually found it to work quite well.
also -- regarding your 'reset pid' problem...
sata / scsi devices don't get pid's. every time my server reboots (luckily only when i tell it to so far!) i get 4 lines in my system log like this...
"kernel errors
-failed to set pid on devices sda
-failed to set pid on devices sdb
-failed to set pid on deviecs sdc
-failed to set pid on devices sdd"
... it is annoying to see it in the log, but its not a "real" error, since sata drives, as i said, don't get pid's, and it does not affect operation one bit.
i hate to say it, but if the os/kernel is continually trying to set or reset a pid on a device that doesn't reference one, then that alone could be causing all your problems.
when linux looks at the highpoint (if its a hardware controller), then it shouldn't see 4 drives or 3 drives or whatever... it should just see one drive - your 'imaginary' raid 5 drive. if the highpoint's a software card, then that's a whole mess of shit...
i was very picky about getting a software-raid card for my existing box... even though its only a 10 to 20 dollar item, you still have to be careful, because it's taking care of all your sensitive data.
i found that silicon image chipset cards are the best-supported by the linux kernel -- and NATIVELY, meaning you don't need a driver, it's "built in" to the kernel (this includes most pre-made kernel rpms from red hat and others... so you don't have to compile the kernel from scratch if you don't want to).
i'm going on 2 months with this setup, and i've had only 1 problem. my cooling was horrible (i've got 7 hard drives, an optical, a zip, a floppy, and a bunch of other junk in a case that's way too small) so one of my drives crossed the 80 degree mark --- it was shut down by smart without me knowing it, and linux mdadm raid5 continued on with only 3 drives -- and thus no backup. Well I got the log printout everday in my email and i look to see a drive is down -- i thought something horrible was wrong. after looking into it, i realized what happened, and rebuilt the array with one entry in the command line -- and all done. now that my cooling is much better, i've got no issues at all.
SATA Raid Card for Linux ? No doubt about it 3Ware.. why play around with cheap imitations, when you can get a card that's truly supported by the manufacturer.. If you are setting up RAID then you must have important data to worry about.. the price of a RAID card is hardly worth skimping on.
never had a good feeling about 3ware. they've been known to use different chipsets for the same model card (whilst still stating chipset 'a' on the box, when 'b' is on the product)... resulting in (well at least under windows) driver mayhem.
that being said, hardware raid does have its disadvantages... namely that catastropic loss of the card would require a person to get an identical card in order to rebuild the array.
with software raid, the entire machine can go up in flames and (as long as the hard drives themselves are undamaged) you can build a new machine, install linux, install mdadm, and rebuild the array. very time consuming, but it lets me sleep at night.
So the silicon image cards are natively supported eh? I like 3ware but the cards are kind of pricey (far as I know). What would you folks think about the idea of putting in a tape drive and doing backups that way?
I can hardly buy into software raid is better than hardware raid, I mean Every enterprise out there is doing it wrong then... software RAID doesn't support hot swap, it loads the CPU, doesn't support man o fhte advanced feature s of RAID. there are quite a few advantages to hardware raid over software RAID. Price isn't one of them though.
Software RAID is OK and it has it's place but it really doesn't compare to a proper hardware based solution .. that's just ludicrous.
Personally - I could barely afford the couple hundred I spent on drives, there was nothing left for a nice card. Given the choice, I'd rather run software raid in linux than to make a worse compromise and buy cheaper drives and an economy hardware raid card -- that's a recipe for disaster. I think most would agree with that. Considering the original poster is likely not running an enterprise grade server, I think he could get away with software raid. Running 6 disks on 2 arrays, I'm seeing (and this is just from observation, I haven't done extensive testing or anything like that) roughly a 10% increase in CPU usage (on a 1.67 GHz older processor). I'd say that's acceptable.
... as far as rebuilding hardware arrays with another hw card -- i would honestly have to look into it further, as you're not the first person to state that they have actually accomplished this task. But, at the same time, I've had many more people tell me they could not accomplish it. I'm starting to wonder if its not so much chipset/mfg but, rather, a certain 'keying' or 'structure' in which various raid architectures are carried out by different cards/chipsets. Basically, meaning that if two cards arranged data in one manner, then they would be somewhat interchangeable. It's certainly something that warrants looking into.
Lastly, I've read and commonly heard that Silicon Image gear is natively supported -- almost all of it. I have personally experienced and implemented the Silicon Image 0680 (0680A) PATA EIDE chipset, and the Silicon Image 3112 (3114) 2 and 4 channel SATA 150 chipset -- both were picked up by pre-packaged linux kernels in Fedora Core and Trustix linux. Kernel versions tested on were 2.6.15(-1.2054) through 2.6.18(-1.2200). Again, these are only software cards.
As far as drivers for a hardware raid card -- while the actual 'raiding' (if that's even a word) is done by the card, it has to present some sort of imaginary (multidisk) drive to the operating system... in order to do that, it requires some sort of basic driver. Some are nativelyl supported by the kernel, some are not. It is definately something that I would look into before buying a card (whether soft or hard raid). Reason is, if you have a choice between two cards that both meet your needs and are of the same price, and one is natively supported and one isn't, then you better pick the one that is or else you're just making more work for yourself (usually).
Highpoint 366/370/372/374 is natively supported in Linux and it is being doing this for a long, long time. The module is hpt366. This module supports HPT366, HPT370, HPT372, HPT374, so you do not need to compile anything. I have been using Highpoint controllers for a long time with out any problems. Though I would not be using Highpoint's RAID level 5 in the BIOS because it does not work well and Linux software RAID works better, but I would use multiple cards just in case a controller fails (this go for any controller brand too). I have not yet encounter a failure when using Highpoint controllers even after six years of abuse.
I recommend do not mess with Silicon Image controllers because they are not supported as well as Highpoint's. Silicon Image controllers are quirky because DMA gets enabled and disabled. Third Silicon Image controllers corrupts data.
When setting up software RAID in the BIOS, you will have to use dmraid to find the RAID array in Linux. If do not, you will see a list of hard drives that you thought should be in a RAID array.
Software RAID level 5 is horrible if you are using it on a single processor system. Dual processor will be better, but still not as good as a hardware RAID controller handling all RAID-5 tasks. Software RAID is meant to be use with level 0 and level 1.
If you are going to put 800 GB or more of data, it is best to spend the money on hardware RAID controllers and backup mediums since you already paid the money on hard drives. All 3ware cards are supported since kernel version 2.6.14. You can happily upgrade your kernel to fix any security problems that the previous kernel has with out being limited by this manufacture. Areca is a good brand because they have very little performance penalty when a hard drive fails. The kernel does not support Areca controllers yet, so you are stuck with the manufacture supplying you the software needed for your kernel. I would pick 3ware.
There is always a consequence of a controller failing. Most smart IT would use duplexing. This is costly when setting up a huge file server, but data is life or is business. Duplexing may have to use a combination of hardware RAID and software RAID. Two hardware RAID controllers that are using RAID 5. Mirror the two RAID arrays using software RAID. This will provide RAID-15 and it provides some advantages such as multiple reads and multiple writes which will increase server performance.
NTFS support in Linux is poor. I only suggest using it when you need to copy files to your Linux partitions or accessing a document. Playing a sound or video that needs streaming shows the weak parts of NTFS support. Hopefully, you mount your NTFS partitions as read-only.
I recommend using ECC memory because it makes your computer more reliable. OCZ for power supplies is ok, but not would I use in servers. I suggest Enermax or Seasonic for servers. For 24/7 servers, I would use redundant power supplies. File servers rarely have the latest and fastest processor. Usually they will have multiple slow processors. File servers are dependent on the quality of the NIC that is used.
I'm looking at setting up raid 5 on my server (running latest Kubuntu). Its a Celeron 2.4 with 512 Ram. 1 x 40G drive for OS, 3 x 250 drives in raid 5.
I noticed you were saying that software raid 5 is not a good idea... is this because it puts stain on the cpu and doesnt allow the computer to be useful for much else?
I realise hardware raid controllers are always going to be better but will it work well enough in a system that is solely a server?
Also... if you know of any pages devoted to setting up a raid 5 system that would be hugely appreciated!
Kubuntu mdadm raid5
I used this on my Dual P3 733 4x 250GB Fileserver.
Just remember to read the comments at the end.

Celebrate National Piña Colada Day
As if the sweltering heat wasn't reason enough to cool down with a fruity drink, today is National Piña Colada Day! Celebrate by mixing up a pitcher of this great recipe.
According to mypunchbowl.com, this tasty frozen beverage was first created in San Juan, Puerto
Rico. The drink's name actually translates to strained pineapple—one of the main ingredients. I don't know about you, but I'm going to grab some supplies and start blending.
FYI: July is also National Ice Cream and Grilling month. So if a Piña Colada isn't enough to satisfy your summer appetite, try out some of these other favorite recipes.
