time machine slow in 10.7.5
I've also confirmed that I can restore files following the disabling of Spotlight. Which is good to know!
I would also feel better if I can waited a few weeks to upgrade from 10.7.4. Fingers crossed Apple release an upgrade very soon!

I've spend most of the weekend trying to figure out why a new internal 3TB drive in my Mac Pro 2012 wouldn't work as a backup drive with Time Machine.
Now I finally realize that it's all about the Lion 10.7.5 update, and nothing to do with my new 3TB drive!
Because it's a new drive, I'm doing the first backup of 250GB, which Time Machine estimates to take approx 600 days!
Apple Inc. - you owe me a weekend, and a fix very soon.
Think I'm going to try the tip about the disabling of Spotlight in the meantime..

OK. So did this resolve the issue?

I had a set of backups starting with a clean install, basic apps installed, all apps and system tweaked with lion 10.7.4.
After installing 10.7.5 updates i started having kernel panics everytime i left the computer in a busy task and the screen went sleep
I tried to make a time machine backup of the current 10.7.5 OS and the process not only was extremly slow, i had kernel panic during the process and ALL MY PREVIOUS WELL PLANNED BACKUPS were DELETED.
This the second major (inacceptable) problem i had with this system, the other reported here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4318073?start=0&tstart=0
im back to 10.7.4

If you disable Spotlight using the following command from within Terminal, Time Machine backups return to normal speed;
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
Once this has been resolved, you'll be able to re-enable Spotlight with the following command;
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

Here I go again.
After using spotless to disable spotlight, I was able to back up my 335gb data in a reasonable amount of time.
I have done some testing minimal and I could see that TM backup works correctly. see one of my previous posts.
To finish this off, I deleted all index files.
I removed all drives except the system drive, and reactivated spotlight.
It started indexing again.
After the indexing went on overnight ( i did not stay up to watch ) i t was done in the morning.
Ithen compressed a couple of folder and duplicated them.
did a backup. It took just afew minutes to back up 4 GB, with spotlight on.
So there is hope that this problem may be related to some corruption in index files or directory...
I will continue investigating to see if files in large duplicated folder get indexed correctly.
To summarize,
use spotless to deactivate spotlight. Remove all index files and delete index directory.
Make a time mcahine backup.
Reactivate spotlight. remove all drives except system drive, let it index peacefully ( this is to avoid backup operation during the indexing)
For those of you who, like me do not trust blindly Apple, I also used superduper! to clone my disk. This provides a bootable backup drive. I did all of this on such a backup so as not to take any chance if something went very wrong!!!
Good luck to all

I did this last check.
duplicated my download folder. 900MB.
Placed the copy on the desktop.
Did a time machine backup, a breeze.
Did not even have time to see the indexing.
Look for some content and found both files...
End of pains for me.

I've resorted to using Carbon Copy Cloner until Apple fix this... I love the fact that 10.7.5 said "it resolved issues with Spotlight on SMB"... apparently they resolved the issue by breaking Spotlight system-wide. It took over a day and a half to index 55GB on an SSD and now Time Machine is broken.
Whatever happened to Apple QA? Don't they test their releases anymore?

I have the same problem. Backup starts, but almost nothing happen. I mean that either hard drive utilization nor network transfer are close to 0. Of course prior to 10.7.5 everything was OK.
My configuration is MacBook 13" Early 2011, SSD 256 Partiot, Mac OS X 10.7.5 - unfortunately

Same problem after the 10.7.5 update. Using the sudo command listed in the thread and below to turn off Spotlight restores normal, speedy Time Machine operation. I use Spotlight all the time and eagerly await the Apple repair of this problematic udpate. Additionally, the current version of Toast is crashing since this update.
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

Problem with TM backup after 10.7.5. Stopped spotlight and backed up with no issues. Thanks to NeilHobbs.

In case this goes on for more than a couple of more days, I've created two AppleScripts, one to stop spotlight, and one to start it again. You find the Applescript Editor in /Applications/Utilities/. Now I can just double-click the script I need.
Here's the text for each script. Replace <your password> with your actual password for the user with Administrator privs in which you are running.
Stop Spotlight script:
do shell script "launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist" password "<your password>" with administrator privileges
and to
Start Spotlight script:
do shell script "launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist" password "<your password>" with administrator privileges

I've been trying to install an internal SSD on my iMac and Spotlight and TB was so messed up I put the original drive back… And then spotlight and TM was also messed up (on a fresh backup).
It wasn't the SSD then!!!
I can start over again.
(I also confirm the spotlight kill trick).

killing spotlight worked for doing a fast TM-Backup. But after reactivating Spotlight has led to a 35h indicating prozess by spotlight… any advice?

Thanks, that worked for me. I backed up 355 GB from scratch (2 user accounts) in about 8 hours onto my Time Capsule. Now I am going to re-test backup to the 3TB drive I bought Saturday. I was ready to take back to the store! So far, so good: so far it has backed up about 5 GB as I wrote this. It even seems faster than the TC!
If that works, I am going to install Mountain Lion on a partion of that disk and restore my backed-up accounts onto it. Wish me luck!
@Venares: I think Spotlike simply takes that long with an initial index. Just let it do its thing!

Gjesvær (Northern Sami: Geaissvearra) is an old fishing village in Nordkapp Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. It is the only place in Finnmark known from the Viking Age and is mentioned in the Heimskringla saga as Geirsver.[2] The name comes from the man's name Geir, which means "spear".[3]
The location was used by Vikings on the way to Bjarmaland (see Ottar from Hålogaland), and probably also for gathering food on the nearby Gjesværstappan islands which contain one of the largest seabird colonies in Norway.
Like most other places in Finnmark, all buildings in the village were burned down in 1944 by the German occupying forces. Gjesvær Chapel, built in 1960, is considered a cultural monument.
Gjesvær has approximately 130 inhabitants, but at the beginning of the 1970s, it had about 350 people. It has a fish plant, local shop, post office, and primary school. The main industry is fishing, but in recent years there has been an increased emphasis on tourism, activities including fishing and bird watching trips to the Gjesværstappan nature reserve.
Gjesvær was historically a part of Måsøy Municipality, along with the sparsely populated western part of Magerøya island. There were no road connections across the island, so residents travelled by boat which was closer to Måsøy. In 1977, the 22-mile (35 km) long Norwegian County Road 156 was completed, connecting Gjesvær by a causeway to Magerøya island and then continuing on to Honningsvåg. For this reason, the municipal boundary was moved. In 1 January 1984, Gjesvær and the western part of Magerøya were transferred from Måsøy municipality to Nordkapp Municipality.

Today's Sunday Jigsaw Puzzle, "The Empress," was inspired by a visit from a Tarot card toting neighbor. We sat down and 'played,' and when the Empress appeared, I said, "That's it! I've been waiting for inspiration to hit and now it has."
The Empress represents the serene and full-figured woman, who is nurturing, sensitive, sensual, creative and loving. She expresses herself through conversation, as she connects to herself, to you and the Universe.
The Empress loves fresh fruit and takes delight in autumn pears.
This pear dish is fabulous for breakfast as well as dessert.
AND it's uber-healthy! Enjoy.
1 pear; peeled, cored and sliced
1 tbsp brown or raw sugar
2 tbsp quick cooking oats
2 tbsp whole-wheat flour
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp flax seeds
1.5 tsp reduced fat margarine, softened
1. Preheat oven to 375 F
2. Place fruit in small baking dish
3. In small bowl combine sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, flax seeds and margarine
4. Sprinkle mixture over fruit and bake in oven for 15 minutes or until fruit is tender and the crumb mixture is golden brown.
Makes 1 Serving
5 Yum Delicious Stars!

A non-refundable deposit of 20% on accommodation or any package is required to secure a confirmed booking. The minimum deposit amount is F$100. Visa and MasterCard are accepted by the resort. This booking deposit is not refundable.
All quoted rices are cash discounted rates to be paid in F$ Cash or electronic transfer directly to our bank account. Standard rates are 5% more than above stated cash-discounted prices and are applied to any other method of payment. Deposits paid by credit card are treated as cash payments for pricing purposes and deducted from your bill when you check-out.
All VAT and 'government bed tax' inclusive prices advertised are subject to possible changes, without prior notice, in case of sudden or unexpected cost increases. Prices do not include new taxes or changes in tax rates, or other charges that governments or service providers may impose from time to time. Guests will be responsible for paying any such taxes/charges on checkout. We will communicate any changes to you as soon as the details are made available to Matava.
Prices are valid from the 1st April 2011 to the 31st March 2012. Where a booking is made in 2011 for a guest arrival date after 31st March 2012 current 2011/11 prices will apply only if full payment is made on or before 31 December 2011, i.e. current prices apply if you make full payment before the end of the year.
Credit Cards
MasterCard and Visa are welcomed.
Prices quoted on this website are discounted cash prices.
As there are no banks on the island, we are able to offer this concession to those who want to settle their bill in cash. Our standard retail prices are 5% higher than the ones quoted and this should be borne in mind by those wishing to settle by credit card.
Most foreign currency and travelers cheques are accepted but, again due to lack of banking facilities, exchange rates quoted are not as favorable as with a high street bank.
We have a Secure Credit Card booking facility set-up at Matava Secure Credit Card Page for the convenience and security of booking.
Packages are 'all inclusive' and can not be broken down into component parts . Multiple dives (2 tank, 8 tank, 10 tank etc. must be taken in multiples of 2 on each boat trip – generally 2 tanks per day). Dives cannot be split, taken singly or transferred to other persons.
Dive Group packages:
Any diving package booked for 5 or more divers is defined as a dive group package. Dives must be taken by the group, as a group, two a day until the package is exhausted. Individuals within the group may not choose to refrain from diving on a particular day and carry forward part of their package to use at a later date. Afternoon and night dives cannot be taken as part of the package unless agreed in advance. A relaxation of this policy can be arranged with prior agreement however additional costs incurred by Matava will be included in the cost of the package. For dive groups, 1 free place is available (accommodation and diving) for each 8 paying guests. Free accommodation will be allocated on availability.
Packages do not include:
Airfares, snorkel or dive gear hire, beverages, bar tab at the resort, activities unless stated or any items of a personal nature. The resort supplies tanks and weights included in the price of any dive. All dives are boat dives unless otherwise stated.
Booking Procedure:
Bookings can be made by either telephone or email. Upon receipt of a booking deposit, Matava resort will email a return confirmation at which point the booking will be deemed to have been made.
A passport only is required if you are citizens of the United States, Australia, EEC and New Zealand. The passport needs to be valid for three months after the return from travel. For other nationalities, please contact your nearest Fijian Consulate.
All scuba divers must be medically fit to participate in SCUBA diving activities and hold current certification from an accredited and well recognized diving organization. Proof of certification will be requested prior to diving. Guests will be required to sign liability waiver and assumption of risk documents prior to participation in any water based activities. (For example, the standard PADI Boat Travel & SCUBA Diving Assumption of Risk form) Refusal by a guest to sign such documents will prevent the resort from providing such activities.
Accommodation Substitutions:
Matava resort reserves the right, at any time for good & just cause – such as an act of God, an emergency or an on-site facility problem – to substitute alternative accommodation. Any substituted accommodation will be of equal or better standard to that originally booked.
Children Policy:
Matava resort does not allow children under the age of 15 years to dive. Matava resort does not formally offer baby sitting for youngsters. Fijians are however fantastic care sitters with great patience, understanding, endless smiles, and love for children. It is usually possible to arrange for a babysitter however Matava resort accepts no responsibility for such services.
Disabled Persons:
Fijian law does not require our outer island facilities to be A.D.A (American Disabilities Act) compatible. Matava resort is located in a remote setting, located on a hillside and does not have handicap or semi-handicap facilitates.
Guest Responsibility
Guests are required to follow any directions given whilst participating in any activities. We reserve the right to restrict or withhold any activity or service where we believe that the acts or behavior of a guest may endanger other guests or staff of the resort or detract from other guest's enjoyment of their activity or stay. An example of this would be if a diver ignored instructions from a divemaster or boat passenger ignored instructions from the driver/skipper. In such instances, the full charge relating to guest's booking will be levied.
Any action by a guest which is described as illegal under the laws of the Fiji Islands will result in thatguest being removed from the premises and the appropriate authorities informed.
Matava resort does not accept responsibility for any delay, additional expense or inconvenience which may be caused directly or indirectly by events outside of the company control, such as late arrival of domestic or international flights, civil disturbance, fire, floods, unusually severe weather, act of God, act of Government, or the failure of any machinery or equipment. Additionally, Matava resort will not accept any responsibility for any injury, guest loss of or damage to personal equipment and property whilst staying at the resort, or during participation in any activity.
We strongly recommend that all guests take out adequate travel insurance which covers accident, loss caused by cancellations, loss of luggage, personal property, medical expenses, medical evacuation and weather disruption / cancellations (including activity cancellations).
Guests intending on participating in diving activities must ensure their insurance covers them for SCUBA related activities and has appropriate 'depth ' coverage.
Insurance is available through World Nomads at this link
Cancellations and changes, refunds
Matava resort is willing to accommodate changes to reservations if an emergency need arises. Changes to reservations will cause the itinerary to be re-priced at the current standard pricing for the rebooked dates. Any package previously quoted will be invalidated. If rebooking is requested, Matava resort cannot guarantee availability or price for new requested dates.
A guest deposit is understood to be a formal & binding commitment to pay for the vacation package in full, to take the activities that you requested and that Matava resort fulfilled in good faith. The deposit is non-refundable. Furthermore, submission of a deposit by any guest indicates that guest's full acceptance of Matava Resort's Booking Terms & Conditions.When a booking is made, space is held and other bookings are turned away. We stand by our confirmed bookings and respectfully request that you do the same. Thank you for your understanding.
Where a guest fails to complete a dive, dive course or fails to participate in pre-booked or packaged activities for any reason (including ill health) or free choice, they will still be charged for the package. For example, if a guest books a package which includes 5 days of diving and on the third day they abort their first dive because they couldn't equalize. When that guest checks out, they will still be charged for the package and advised to make a claim on their travel insurance (see insurance ).
e regret the necessity to adopt the above booking terms and liability waivers.
Unfortunately, in today's world such terms are necessary to avoid larger insurance premiums which would inevitably lead to more expensive holidays for all our guests.

Hamilton, Mass. — Six-year-old Jessica Rekos will never see the horse she dreamed of owning, but a non-profit is hoping to honor her memory by rescuing a colt and pairing it with a budding equestrian like her.
Rekos was among the 20 children and six adults slain a by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., two weeks ago. She had loved horses and wanted one of her own. Her parents, Rich and Krista Rekos, had promised to get her one when she turned 10.
In her memory, Hope4Horses adopted an 8-month-old, standard-bred colt from a slaughter pen and named it Rekos. Janine Jacques, a co-founder of the group, will travel to New Jersey next week to pick up the colt, which will stay in the group's barn in Hamilton until a family is selected to adopt it. Jacques said they'll look for a family with a girl about Rekos' age who shares her passion.
The idea for the tribute came from the Equine Rescue Network, an online network maintained by Hope4Horses to find homes for the horses it rescues and rehabilitates.
"What we are trying to do is fill her dream," said Jacques. "It is really sad for a lot of us, because the horse community very much sticks together. It is just sad we lost one of our own. it is sad to lose any kid in such a tragedy."
Rekos' parents wrote in a statement: "Jessica loved everything about horses. She devoted her free time to watching horse movies, reading horse books, drawing horses and writing stories about horses. She asked Santa for new cowgirl boots and a cowgirl hat."
Jacques said many in her group identify with that image.
"I grew up as that little cowgirl," she said, "I can really relate to this little girl who spent all of her time watching horse videos, drawing horses and wanted a horse."
Rescuing a horse typically costs about $1,000. Hope4Horses supporters took to town caroling, and raised $900.
About 157,000 horses will be sent to slaughter in Canada or Mexico this year, said Jacques. Her volunteer group has saved 120 horses since it was founded in 2010.
Once the group finds a perfect home for Rekos, it will send a bound book to Rekos' family.

Day of the Dead in Mexico City: Coyocan
We spent the first day of Day of the Dead in Coyocan, the neighborhood Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera lived in. We actually spent the morning in the museum that Frida Kahlo's house now is, though none of these photos are from there. I took only my film camera and unfortunately for me it was rather cloudy and getting photos in that low light was difficult. Not only that, but I forgot my telephoto lens, which made candids even more difficult. Regardless, I hope you can see a little of what Dia De Los Muertos looks like in this neighborhood of Mexico City. To hear it, check out my Instagram here or here. Beautiful and a little creepy, huh?
Here I am inside Frida Kahlo's house. I was filled with glee!
Next I'll cover day two of Dia De Los Muertos, which we spent in Mixquic, a southern barrio in Mexico City, which happens to be where Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera liked to spend their Day of the Dead Holiday.

Day of the Dead Eve in Mexico City
Going to Mexico for the Day of the Dead, a holiday that occurs in Mexico on November 1 and 2 yearly, has been a dream of mine since my teen years. I learned about the holiday in high school and was enamored with the rich culture and colors it seemed to represent. Every year for literally the last 12 years has been the year I wished to go, but it seemed like it would never happen. My command of Spanish isn't amazing and worse, I couldn't find someone to go with.
2013 was a special and lucky year though, and in a matter of days a Mexico trip for the Day of the Dead came together and I didn't even do the planning as I was asked and the trip was planned while I was already abroad.
The above photos are from Day of the Dead Eve, which would be October 31 and our Halloween. There were some celebrations that day, like these alters in the city center (which seemed to be more their version of Christmas in the Park than anything), but the real celebration occurred over the course of the next two days. Photos from those two days will be coming to this blog in the next few...

We Are Now Tumbling
YOU GUYS! Biggish news here. Though I've always had a poorly maintained personal inspiration Tumblr, I just decided to make a Tumblr dedicated purely to my photography. I will Tumbl one photo a day, with subjects ranging from self-portraits (i.e. me!) to babely models to landscapes. It's easily digestable and it's only one click away (here). Let me know what you think.

Preview: Brianna
I was lucky to get an email from Brianna of Major in NY and Look in SF just days before her trip here. We set up a small, unorganized shoot but I'm happy to say there are some nice resulting photos, even though we planned the shoot in virtually two days. MU by my usual Inna Mathews.

Healdsburg Wineries Celebrate the Tradition of Vino di Tavola (Table Wine)
Francis Ford Coppola may have reclaimed the historic Inglenook name (which had long ago been converted into an economy-size staple), leaving the future of that jug wine up in the air (and many a skid-row vagrant with one less option.) But in Sonoma, a few producers are reclaiming the tradition of vino di tavola, or table wine, restoring it to its proper place as quality everyday wine — straightforward, yes, but clean and delicious, it is intended to be enjoyed with friends, family and a giant bowl of spaghetti.
From her tasting room one block off Healdsburg Plaza, Jane Portalupi spends her days pouring wine for a thirsty population of locals and visitors while making sure that they have enough prosciutto and cheese to get them through the day. Nearly a hundred years ago, her grandmother was doing pretty much the same thing (minus the purple lounge couches) but in a small village in Piemonte.
Clearly though a lot has changed. "Back then, glass was a commodity," says Jane's husband Tim (who is also the winemaker). Milk bottles were often used and reused for many things, including wine. As the winemaker for her village, Jane's grandmother Marina certainly sent many patrons on their way with a milk jug full of hearty red wine. As an homage to that tradition, the Portalupis have started bottling a blend of their Italian-inspired, California-made red wine in 1.89 liter (about two-and-a-half regular wine bottles) milk jugs complete with both a custom-made cork and a white plastic cap. "We like to call it 'premium jug wine' says Tim. "It's a throw a Tri-tip on the barbeque and have your friends over kind of wine."
Also, it's pretty damn good. Full of lively, lush fruit flavor, it has great acidity and plenty of backbone.
Just up the street, Simi is celebrating their 135th anniversary of making wine in Sonoma by selling two-liter growlers of red table wine to visitors of the tasting room. Named Maiale Cieco or "blind pig," the growlers are similar to the ones that Simi sold during prohibition when visitors came not to drink but to see (wink, wink) unusual attractions, like blind pigs (and, oh, well we're here…). The tradition continues minus the possibility that your jugs of wine will be confiscated by federal agents on your way back to the city.
Portalupi's Vaso di Marina is $48. While refills are not available at this time, they are working on it, so hang onto that jug.
Simi's Maiale Cieco is also $48 and can be refilled at the winery for $36.

There are many excuses for not getting feedback from users and customers:
- They'll steal our intellectual property
- They'll reject it if it's not perfect
- It takes too much effort and is too expensive
- (Secretly) We're afraid of being proved wrong
- If we talk to them, we may have to change what we're building, and it's too late for that.
- We don't have time
In our experience, the value of getting feedback from users far outweighs the risks and inconvenience.
As the graph from the Standish report highlighted in the eBook points out, 70% of software features that are built don't get used, either because they're not that important to the users, or because of inadequate design. At the same time, important features are often missed, or discovered late in testing.
To put it another way: You never get it right the first time. Frequent feedback from users lets you iteratively improve the product, starting with prototypes and moving through development, preventing wasted effort on unnecessary features and making the features you do build usable and effective (and reducing human factors risks in the bargain.)

A North Portland congregation sells land to benefit the church and Habitat for Humanity's low-income clients
Eric Apalategui | Special to The Oregonian
September 10, 2010, 2:52PM
Rivergate Community Church seemed to be losing its way. As many Baptist founders who cleared the poison oak and built the church after World War II passed on, membership dwindled to a couple dozen in the early 2000s. The church, which owned most of a city block, was as quiet a place as one could find along North Portland's Lombard Street. Today, the block is anything but quiet. Hammers slam galvanized nails. Whining circular blades spray sawdust. Muscles strain against lumber as walls rise into right angles.

Recent reviews:
September 23, 2013 - I'm glad I decided to get this backpack. =) The size is good; so far it's been able to handle having various things: my textbooks/notebooks, umbrella, water bottle (yes, sometimes I put that outside with the water bottle holder), snacks containers, etc, etc. The quality seems good, so I'm hoping it will last, esp. the stitchings, and I take care of my things anyway. (My last backpack from this site lacked uniform good stitching) What prevented me giving it 5 stars: I would'd liked more substantial handles/straps, thicker.
August 26, 2013 - Fantastic Back Pack! Loads of room and added support for protection from weight! Will certainly buy again when next child needs one for school!
August 13, 2013 - I LOVE this backpack. Perfect size. Received it quickly. I use it everyday for work and school.
August 5, 2013 - I love this backpack. It is well built and just the right size.
July 17, 2013 - I love my new paw print bag!!!! It is beautiful. I think it is a little smaller than my first backpack. I do love it though. I bought the purple one. My husband and I drive for a trucking company and we go all over the USA. I plan on my bag going with me.

TV-over-Internet service Aereo to come to Android
NEW YORK (AP) — Aereo, a service that delivers broadcast television stations over the Internet, will come to Android devices on Oct. 22.
The service started on iPhones and other Apple devices along with the Roku streaming box before expanding to personal computers. The company says that the Android offering took longer because of the many versions of Android available. Device makers are able to customize the version made by Google. Aereo says its Android app will run on phones and tablets with Android 4.2 or higher. It will be in a beta test mode at first.
Aereo is currently available in New York, Boston, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Miami, Houston and Dallas. Service starts at $8 a month.
Aereo has won key court rulings against broadcasters who claim its service infringes copyrights.

In other words, I'm not sure any alarms should be going off about sagging attendance. Maybe 10,000 show up for Gonzaga on Tuesday. Truth is, this is a team that's been a lot of fun to watch so far, Thursday's loss notwithstanding.
"We've got great fans. There's just 4,000 of them,'' Huggins said the other night, trying to put a politically correct face on all those empty seats. "Some teams have 16,000, we have 4,000. I keep hearing this team is exciting. It must not be exciting enough.''
As the SEC and its many unapologetic media shills continue their PR war insisting that the league's champion should be granted automatic entrance into the national title game no matter its record, I can't help but try to put Missouri and Texas A&M into perspective.
First of all, understand that I'm not going to argue that the SEC isn't the best conference in the country. Don't even go there. You might be able to come up with all kinds of stats and records and comparative scores that attempt to prove - and might well succeed proving - that the SEC isn't as dominant as the league would have you believe. But if you do, I can apply the same reasoning and downgrade every other power conference to a much greater extent. Annually, the most difficult league in which to win consistently is the SEC. Period.
But didn't Texas A&M and Missouri go into the SEC just a year ago universally seen as being overmatched, particularly Mizzou? "If you thought it was a struggle in the Big 12,'' all were told, "just wait until you have to play Alabama and LSU and Florida and Georgia and, etc., etc., etc.''
And then in year one in the SEC Texas A&M beats Alabama and its freshman quarterback rips up the league and wins the Heisman Trophy. In year two, Missouri is a blown 17-0 fourth-quarter lead over South Carolina away from being 12-0. Missouri.
Now this is in no way an attempt to prop up the Big 12, from which both schools bolted, but rather to point out that two schools that were really nothing special (sometimes good, never dominant) in their old power conference instantly became players in the SEC.
Granted, there might be a lot of extenuating circumstances, but the point is that the SEC constantly preaches that teams with gaudy records elsewhere could never duplicate those playing in their conference. A&M and Missouri are proving them wrong.

But WHY. Why does Dominion require no skill? Because you don't have to last hit? Does it suck because people pick the same (easily counterable) champs over and over? Because High Elo players don't play it? Because it only has 'one strategy' (HAH!)? I guarantee that whoever thinks that Dominion is boring/takes no skill has not played a substantial amount of it. As the saying goes, 'nothing is fun until you're good at it.' Just because the skills practiced in Summoner's Rift are different from the ones practiced in Dominion doesn't mean that one sucks. EDIT: Cool, downvote and walk away. How productive and meaningful to discussion.
I don't think it's the game type, I think it's that Dominion punishes uncoordinated teams more than SR does. Thus solo queue feels worse and people get turned off.
Upvoted. I think it requires quite a bit of skill. It forces players to directly engage in combat and not passively farm demonstrating who really understands the nuances of their chosen champion the best. Its different but not necessarily better or worse. Gotta love downvoters that just walk away with no reason.
a couple things are bad right now: a handful of champions dominate the whole mode. everyone else is pushed out. the game is pretty much determined by the first windmill fight. those who win normally enter the next fight about a level above the other team and snowball out of control. its less of a retarded turtling war since priscilla's was removed, but its still frustrating if you have an uncoordinated team and you have to go on 24/7 rammus/evelynn patrol
It's awesome since it brought us ARAB, else its bull****.
it doesnt have a ranked mode therefore its for noobs. so sayeth the sheeple
The only reason I'm bored of Dominion is because I've played a lot of it. It's a decent game mode, but it lacks a lot of depth. Dominion feels like Frogger, or Whack-A-Mole. Summoner's Rift feels more like chess. Now I love to spend an hour on a whack-a-mole machine, but it's just not quite as satisfying as winning a game of chess. [Or rather, it's satisfying in a different way.]
The Stormchaser
It's hard to coordinate.....but makes it all the more challenging
Dominion requires plenty of skill. The issue is the imbalances in the game mode which gives people the inkling that it doesn't require any.

The latest in a series on top prospects for the 2013 NHL Draft looks at Finnish center Aleksander Barkov, who played for Tappara in Finland's top league in 2012-13.
Aleksander Barkov
Position: Center
Height: 6-2
Weight: 205 pounds
Shoots: Left
2012-13 Team: Tappara (Finland)
Born: September 2, 1995
Birthplace: Tampere, Finland

TSN | 4th overall |
McKeen's Hockey | 5th overall |
Hockey Prospectus | 5th overall |
2012-13 Season
The 17-year-old ranked ninth in scoring in Finland's top league with 48 points (21 goals, 27 assists) in 53 games for Tappara. The 48 points were the most ever scored by a player his age in the SM-Liiga, breaking Olli Jokinen's record of 41 points in 1996-97. Suffered a shoulder injury in his team's fifth playoff game and missed the rest of the postseason. Played for Finland at the World Junior Championship, recording 7 points (3 goals, 4 assists) in 6 games.
Registered 16 points (7 goals, 9 assists) in 32 games for Tappara in Finland's top league in 2011-12. … Recorded 4 points (1 goal, 3 assists) in 7 games for Finland at 2012 World Junior Championship, and at 16-years-old became second youngest player ever to score a goal at the tournament … His father, Aleksander, played hockey in the Soviet Union and in Finland's SM-Liiga. … Barkov has both Finnish and Russian citizenship.
"Barkov is one of the greatest NHL Entry Draft prospects to ever come out of Finland. He is a tremendously advanced player, with elite hockey sense. He regularly logged 20 minutes this season, which is rare for a September-born 17-year-old in Finland's top league. He has an incredible amount of patience, vision, and awareness. He can slow the game down and dictate the tempo, as well as be the focal point on the power play. He also has a high level of defensive skill, showing ability at a very young age to be a quality defensive center." – Hockey Prospectus
".. big, skilled playmaking pivot .. highly methodical – plays with remarkable poise and maturity for his age .. always calm and in control .. crafty puckhandler and passer – supported by soft, strong hands and a finely-honed sense for pressure .. boasts sharp in-close finishing abilities – and a wristshot that is quick and powerful .. his release is compact and his slapshot packed with twang .. – McKeen's Draft Guide 2013
"He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. He's a very good stick-handler with great vision. He's one the better two-way players in this class and has shown more consistency than any other European over a full season." – Goran Stubb, NHL Director of European Scouting

Nature Note
flature flote Dawn Horse The little Dawn Horse, Eohippus, no larger than a fox, was the ancient ancestor of our stately horses of today. This small creature, living some 60 million years ago, stood only about 11 inches high at the shoulders and had four toes on the front feet and three toes on the hind feet.

Hi, Is it possible to have products in Magento that are sold on installments? For eg, a product is priced at $500, and installments would be $200, $100, $100,$100. Would this be possible to configure in Magento?
Lots have asked for this or similar. I have not been able to find any way to do it but I keep looking.
If anyone know better, please share.
Thanks Mike
I'd be interested in that feature too.
I need this feature too
Mark me down as another person that would like this feature.
Any update on this feature? I would need it too.
Both recurring payments (subscriptions) and installments are missing features in Magento. This leaves the development of these to companies who in return sell them at incredibly high prices—higher than Photoshop CS4 ($199). It is a sad fact!
Do we have installment payment feature in magento now? it has been quite some time this feature is mentioned.
I want to allow my buyer to buy stuff in installment too as i sell locally. hope this is good
Found http://www.magentocommerce.com/extension/packages/module/2823/setupfee-and-instalments#releases but have not personally try them. Please revert for those who have tried this module.
Paying in installments is not something Magento provides out of the box but you can ask someone do develop such feature for your store. Meanwhile you can also try to use something that is already built. There are many extensions available for it but this one comes closer to the mark: Partial Payment

Re: Thoughts On Small Caliber Handguns
"...the most definitive one-shot stop I ever saw was a subject found seriously dead with a single, small hole in the middle of his sternum. You could plainly see the position of his heels in the dirt and he had simply fallen over backwards. His feet never moved. The weapon: a cheap .25 pistol loaded with 50-grain ball ammo." Charles E. Petty, Feb 2007
My grandfather had not one, but two .25 ACP pistols, among his handgun inventory. If he was in a suit, it was one of those little .25's in his pocket. Now let me say those tiny little roscoes functioned without fail. Knowing him he had them polished up real good inside.
When I was old enough to get into serious handgun shooting, and be exposed to those shooters who pronounced absolutely that anything besides a .45 or a .357 or a 90mm recoiless or something was inadequate, I questioned him about those little .25 ACP pea-shooters.
He explained to me by telling me in detail how before I was born, at a job he had there was a guy who came to confront thise dude for sleeping around with his wife. They fought a minute and at some point the hubby decided he wasn't getting beaten by a guy doing his ol' lady. So he pulls a .25 ACP and point blank pops him 6 times in the chest and walks away.
As my grandfather told it, the guy shot crumbled to the ground. He couldn't move. The last minute of his life was spent begging my grandfather to not let him die. This was while he and another guy there was trying to load the late homewrecker into the backseat of a vehicle.
So as he put it kinda like this, which I reckon is true, deadly shots through the vitals with a .25 is just as effective as anything else if you do your part. He was a WWII vet, '41 to '45 in North Africa and Europe as a rifleman, so he was no stranger to gunshots either.
And my experiences lend me the same opinion. A large handgun bullet may allow you a bit more margin of error in shot placement, but if you do your part the caliber is really secondary.
I have seen with my own eyes that 9mm ball or .45acp ball aren't vastly different upon hitting center mass on a man. That stuff about a .45 hitting a knee cap and exiting the kneck was never witnessed by me. But I seen a pair of 9mm from ten feet into sternum make a man drop to his knees. I believe the .45 is more effective, but not enough more so that other calibers are obselete.
I saw a documentary with some medical insight into handgun gunshot wounds. Using the same formula to determine the kenetic energy in foot-pounds of a .45 ACP 230 grain bullet at 850 fps, a frozen turkey falling off a kitchen countertop actually hit the floor with more kenetic force over all. No reasonable CCW handgun has enough power to justify poor shot placement.
On head shots....they are hard to achieve...and a man's skull is often known to deflect every caliber including .357 magnums. An eye socket is a damn small target when you are being killed.
Caliber size...some people like to point out that .380acp/9mm kurtz used to be a police cartridge in Europe...and every time this is mentioned ten people will point out that European police rarely need much firepower etc etc. But did you know that .380 ACP has been an authorized cartridge choice for duty carry by the Texas Rangers for over 100 years and counting?
Lastly, there is a statistic saying that every year, 80% of handgun shootings are not even fatal. How much do we actually know...or how much do we think we know?
All those guys who say, "A .25 ACP would just piss me off". Hey bro...go stand in front of one then
Never say die!
"A nation who forgets its defenders is soon forgotten itself."
"A good shot must necessarily be a good man since the essence of good marksmanship is self-control and self-control is the essential quality of a good man." Theodore Roosevelt

Re: Thoughts On Small Caliber Handguns
I carry a KelTec P-3AT almost daily. I carry an XD9SC or an XD45 when I can.
I don't know WHY anyone would choose to carry a 22, or even a 32 for that matter, when for $250, you can carry a P-3AT. It's tiny, it packs ENOUGH punch to mushroom a JHP pretty regularly, and mine is 101% reliable on hundreds of rounds of ball and JHPs.
Yes... More people have been killed with a 22, than most any other caliber... But I'd consider MOST of theose OFFENSIVE kills (Mossad), not DEFENSIVE.
You give me the time and suprise advantage to ambush a target, and my Buckmark with a Tactical Solutions barrel and a 4 MOA Red Dot scope will shoot finger nail accuracy out to 50+feet. I can CHOOSE which eye ball to take you through. No doubt a one-shot-stop.
But in a defensive scenario??? Give me a 380 at arms length, or one of my XDs out to 15 yards. I can dump 11 rounds of 9mm into a pie plate at 15 yards, in about 3 seconds...
Inside my house??? I can dump eight 9mm pellets into you in a flash with my 870 12 gauge... With 6 more shells behind that.
I see no sense in carrying a 22, 25, or 32, when a KelTec, or Ruger LCP is an option...

Is The Asics Aggressor Any Good?
In psychology, as well as other social and behavioral sciences, aggression (also called combativeness) refers to behavior between members of the same species that is intended to cause pain or harm. Predatory behavior between members of one species towards another species is also described as "aggression." To exhibit aggression towards members of another species is common, such as in these examples: "Lions are aggressive hunters of antelopes," and "Eagles are aggressive hunters of small mammals."

I order from superfit about once every 6 weeks and ive never had to wait more than 2 days for an order, most of the time it arrives the next day.
The superfit whey protein that i now order thanks to a recommendation from the superfit trainer el toro is by far the nicest tasting whey protein ive ever ordered from superfit or anywhere else

Is it possible to force FreeBSD to generate core files when an application/thread has a SIGSEGV==11?
I have an application that is doing this, however, i think it is just one of the threads dying, and the executable stays up running.
This executable is running as a service - where would the file be? Can I just force the core file to show up in /tmp or something?
