Installing SugarCRM Community Edition On Debian Lenny
Installing SugarCRM Community Edition On Debian LennyVersion 1.0 SugarCRM is a webbased CRM solution written in PHP. SugarCRM is available in different flavours called "Editions" ("Community" (free), "Professional", and "Enterprise"). For a detailed overview of the different editions, have a look at the SugarCRM website. In this tutorial I will describe the installation of the free Community Edition on Debian Lenny. With the modules My Portal, Calendar, Activities, Contacts, Accounts, Leads, Opportunities, Cases, Bugtracker, Documents and Email, SugarCRM Community Edition offers everything that can be expected from a CRM solution. 1 Preliminary NoteIn this tutorial I use the hostname server1.example.com with the IP address 192.168.0.100. These settings might differ for you, so you have to replace them where appropriate. I will install SugarCRM in Apache's default vhost (document root /var/www) in the directory /var/www/sugarcrm. You might have to adjust this on your system. 2 Install The MySQL Database ServerInstall unzip to be able to unpack the SugarCRM package later: apt-get install unzip Install MySQL:apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client You will be asked the following questions: New password for the MySQL "root" user: <-- yourrootsqlpassword (a password of your choice) 3 Install The Apache Webserver And PHPapt-get install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libexpat1 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-common php5-gd php5-idn php-pear php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-mhash php5-mysql php5-sqlite php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl php5-curl Afterwards we need to check two settings in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini: vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini Make sure that the memory_limit is at least 64M and set the upload_max_filesize to 20M:
Restart Apache afterwards: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart 4 Install SugarCRMYou can download SugarCRM Community Edition from http://www.sugarforge.org/frs/?group_id=6 or http://www.sugarcrm.com/crm/download/sugar-suite.html. Pick the latest .zip file (version 5.2.0a at the time of this wrinting) and install it as follows: mkdir /var/www/sugarcrm Start the webbased SugarCRM installer by opening the URL http://server1.example.com/sugarcrm or http://192.168.0.100/sugarcrm in your browser. The SugarCRM setup wizard comes up: Scroll down and click on the Next button: Accept the license (GPL) and click on Next: Select Typical Install and click on Next: Select the database type (MySQL): On the Database Configuration page, fill in a name for the SugarCRM database (e.g. sugarcrm) (will be created by the installer automatically if it doesn't exist). The Host Name is localhost. Then fill in the username of the MySQL administrator (root) and his MySQL password (yourrootsqlpassword). Then scroll down... ... and select Define user to create from the drop-down menu to create a MySQL user for SugarCRM (this user will be created by the setup wizard). Fill in a name for that user (e.g. sugarcrm) and a password. If you want to have some demo data to play with, select Yes from the Populate Database with Demo Data? drop-down menu. Click on Next afterwards:

Bio: Scott Wallace is an internationally recognized expert on health information technology, privacy, and the transformation of health delivery. As the first president and CEO of the National Alliance for Health Information Technology, he played a major role in formulating the nation's health transformation policies and advised the White House staff, the HHS Secretary, and Congressional leaders. In addition, he worked closely with state and federal leaders to redesign the health care delivery system in Hurricane Katrina-ravaged Louisiana and implement the nation's first wide-scale medical home model of community-based care.
Mr. Wallace advises multiple constituencies of physicians, providers, payers, supply chain organizations, policy makers, and employers to integrate approaches and advance the effective use of clinical IT. He speaks and publishes internationally on health information technology, policy, chronic care models, outcomes measurement, innovation and financing issues in health care.
He received a Presidential appointment to chair the Commission on Systemic Interoperability, a Federal Commission created to advise the White House and the Congress on health transformation through information technology. In addition, he has appeared repeatedly on the Modern Healthcare magazine's list of the 100 Most Powerful People in Healthcare. He is a director of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee and actively advises venture capital funds and their portfolio companies.
Mr. Wallace holds an AB degree in Economics from Duke University, an MBA from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, and a JD from the University of Chicago Law School.
Expertise: Employer Initiatives in Redefining Health Care
Fellowship Focus: As a Batten Fellow, Scott Wallace will collaborate with Darden Faculty Host Elizabeth Teisberg on a journal article of employers' roles in transforming health care. Their collaboration will involve field research with leading employers, health care providers, and health plans to study innovations.
Poor health of employees is a major challenge to American competitiveness. The costs of health benefits continue to rise far faster than the rate of inflation despite repeated efforts to reform the care delivery system. At the same time, the costs of poor health borne by employers – including absenteeism and lost productivity – are as much as three times the cost of health benefits. Employers globally have launched initiatives to reduce the cost of poor health, not simply the cost of treatment. Many of these initiatives involve partnerships between employers and the care providers, and are supported by new business arrangements and by benefit designs administered by health plans.
But despite a growing awareness that focusing exclusively on health benefit costs has failed to control the cost of care, successful new approaches to promoting health, measuring the health outcomes of care, and restructuring the delivery of care have not been widely shared. The article will describe successful innovations of employers and provide CEOs and senior managers with examples that can lead to improved employee health and lower the overall health costs for employers.

VISION NEEDED: Mario Draghi, head of the European Central Bank, said Thursday that the 17-country euro currency union is unsustainable in its current form. He told EU leaders they must quickly come up with a broad vision for the future to get the bloc through the current financial crisis.
Emerging-market policy makers breathed a sigh of relief after the Federal Reserve left its asset-purchase program in full throttle this week. That much is obvious. What isn't? That a certain central banker in Frankfurt also likely exhaled ever so slightly — Mario Draghi.
BERLIN (Reuters) -
The markets gave a high-five to an ECB statement last week by Mario Draghi "The Governing Council expects the key ECB interest rates to remain at present or lower levels for an extended period of time." I fail to see why this was news even though the ECB has never issued such a pledge before. Did anyone really think the ECB was going to hike rates soon?

text: For some of us the words "online marketer" makes us want to throw up in our mouth a little. Why? Because most people think of online marketers as those people who trick you into giving them your email address so they can spam you with crappy offers for things you don't want. I've certainly run into my share of these. But here's the reality. Love 'Em or Hate 'Em, we all have something to learn from online marketers.

Follow precedence when demoting an employee
Machine Repairman Grade II Ed Crowley was hired in June by Maintenance Supervisor Jack Andrews.
Machine Repairman Grade II Ed Crowley was hired in June by Maintenance Supervisor Jack Andrews. Although his performance was marginal at best, he survived his 30-day probationary period only because the department was in a state of disruption, and Andrews was too busy or confused to monitor his work.
Crowley's performance continued to be marginal or worse. About 4 mo after his date of hire, Andrews resigned and was replaced by a new supervisor, Bill Shapper. Shapper was a good man, but it took him 2 mo or more to learn his job and become familiar with its requirements. At this point, he began to reorganize the maintenance department.
It was thus more than 6 mo before Shapper got around to reviewing Crowley's job sheets and performance.
He confided to his assistant, "This guy never should have been kept beyond his probationary period."
"I know, but that wasn't my decision to make."
"What to do with him now is the decision to make."
Shapper summoned Crowley to his desk and reviewed his performance record with him. Crowley had no comment to make.
"Ed, I'm sorry I have to do this, but I'm moving you a step down to Mechanic Grade II," Shapper said.
Crowley scowled. He knew this move entailed a lower wage rate and lower level work.
Crowley protested, "That's in violation of the labor agreement. The Manual states that prior to terminating or demoting an employee, remedial measures must be applied to improve his performance. I was never put into a training program or anything."
Shapper discussed Crowley's response with his assistant, who felt the employee might have a point. "The Manual does call for a Corrective Action Plan."
"The policy makes sense," Shapper said. "But it would be hopeless in Crowley's case. No way could his performance be improved. It would be a waste of money and time."
He put through the demotion notice. Crowley promptly responded by grieving.
Question : How do you rate Shapper's chance of making the demotion stick?
Plant engineer's decision: When Plant Engineer Carl Barcley was apprised of the details, he advised Shapper to rescind the demotion and enroll Crowley in a training program, with his future job classification dependent on the outcome.
"When procedures are preestablished for dealing with substandard performance, whether an employee is judged hopeless or not, you have no choice but to follow them."

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

How to make someone smile
Posted: September 10, 2012 Filed under: random, whooo whoooooo Leave a commentIt's been a rough year. If you've been reading what I've written this year, you already know that, so I'm not going to rehash anything.
All I will say is that I appreciate my friends and family that have been there for me in recent weeks, and I couldn't make it through the day without you. To those of you that chose to take this opportunity to kick me while I was down – it makes me sad that you would do that. It happens, though, and life goes on. I ask that you think about what you say to a friend when they are going through some issues. What they need is for you to lift them up, not push them back down. Push them down later, when they get out of their slump!
Anyway, today at work we were joking around and my employees came up with a list of why they loved me. It made me so happy, and it all started out as a joke – but I don't think they know just how much it meant to me. It made me laugh! It's good to know what it is about me that they like.
I'm thinking of making some "reasons I love ____________" lists for others. You should too. You just never know when it might be the difference that makes or breaks someone's day.
Who would you write your list for and what would your reasons be?
Poor little neglected blog
Posted: August 1, 2012 Filed under: whooo whoooooo Leave a commentI haven't disappeared, I promise.
I've been busy. Starting up another blog. I might be crazy. It's been a lot of work, a lot of begging, a lot of coordination with 5 other people, and a lot of learning. It has also been fun and frustrating at the same time
After attending Haven Conference, my friends were inspired to start a new group blog. We want to do this up (semi) big. The ones who have never blogged before are learning that it's not as difficult and time-consuming as they thought it would be. The ones that have blogged before are behind the scenes, pushing for posts, tweaking the site, messing with html (yeah, that would be me), looking for sponsors, and just trying to make it work in general so the newbies don't have to do anything BUT post. It's still very new and there isn't much on there {yet}, but we're getting there.
I'm not abandoning you, Lazy Wife, just taking a little vacation. I'll still post more personal things here and more recipes here, just as I've done for the past FIVE (what?!) years.
Come see me at Real {Cheap} Housewives of Texas. It'll be fun! Come on!
No words.
Posted: July 9, 2012 Filed under: crafts, home decor, sewing, whooo whoooooo 1 CommentOK, I lied. I do have words. I freaking LOVE my new craft room curtains! I want to paint all of my furniture in bright, obnoxious colors now.
Posted: May 4, 2012 Filed under: random, whooo whoooooo Leave a commentWhat I'm listening to… Beastie Boys. My high school/college soundtrack. Their songs bring back so many good memories. RIP MCA.
What I'm eating… Cookies n Cream Muddie Buddies. What?
What I'm watching… Nothing, because Major League Baseball has taken over my living room TV. My stuff just keeps piling up on the DVR. I *did* go see Five Year Engagement, though. It was okay. I think I expected a lot more from it, but it was cute.
What I'm thinking about… So much my head is spinning. Our trip next month, work stuff, friend stuff, sister stuff. I need a drink.
What I'm loving… Maxi dresses. Who knew? Of course, I probably look like an Oompa Loompa in them, but I'm 34. I don't care what people think of me or my short round body!
What I'm anticipating… Haven Conference and our trip to Savannah afterwards! I'm also anticipating a few other things, but I've been sworn to secrecy, so I will anticipate alone for now
What I'm feeling thankful for… A very understanding, thoughtful sister. I wish I could just run out and get her pregnant (wait, that sounded really weird) but she knows what I mean
What's coming up on the blog… I've ventured into jewelry making. It's only natural since I work with jewelry all day, right?

How to kidnap your best friend
Posted: March 25, 2012 Filed under: cravings, family, weekend, whooo whoooooo Leave a commentThis weekend was a whirlwind! I am still best friends with two girls I went to high school with, and one of them turned 35 today. Remember when you were in high school and 35 sounded so freaking old? Yeah, well. It's our year.
Source: Uploaded by user via Heather on Pinterest
We're old.
Anyway, two of us (the ones that live close to each other) decided to drive 3 hours, kidnap Brittaney, and whisk her away to the thriving metropolis that is Houston, Texas (yet another 1.5 hours away). We planned this in less than a week. It was a nightmare for me, since I am a huge overplanner. I do not fly by the seat of my pants. Not well, at least. Thanks to Brittaney's kickass husband and kickass mother-in-law, we pulled it off.
We left Friday morning (I had scored a rare long weekend off) for our three hour jaunt to Aggieland. We finally arrived, and of course, 2 minutes before we pulled onto her street, my sweet nephew called me and had very important questions about a Wii Sonic game that I apparently own. He wanted it and he wanted it NOW. I love talking to him, but now was not the time – my stomach was turning flips hoping we could pull everything off! I told him to call my husband and that he would bring it to him, and I gently told him I had to get off the phone and for him to send me a picture of his new "scorpion hot wheel car". I still feel bad for not talking to him longer! (And I got that picture less than 1 minute later, of course).
We parked in her driveway and ran to the front door. Christie rang the doorbell while I tried not to puke. No one answered. I was starting to freak out! I told her to keep on ringing it – we were holding a number 3 and a number 5, so she was the one on the doorbell side. What seems like an hour later, the door opened. I WISH I had gotten a picture of Brittaney's face.
Her first word was, "What?" and then "Is something wrong? What's going on?". We pushed our way into the house and told her to pack a bag and that she was being kidnapped! Brittaney is an overplanner as well, so this threw her completely off. Amazingly, she had makeup on due to a doctor's appointment earlier that morning so all she had to do was get some clothes and PJs together. Somehow, we got out of the house about 30 minutes later. I couldn't believe it!
We ate lunch at a little place in Navasota called "Martha's Bloomers". It was highly recommended by my boss, so we decided to check it out. Christie is a bona fide tearoom freak, so I knew she would love it. We got there, looked around in the little store and garden, and then made our way back to the restaurant part. We waited. And waited. And waited. No one was at the host stand, there were people waiting, and we weren't sure what the heck was going on. Finally, at least fifteen minutes later (not even exaggerating), a very frazzled lady walked into the waiting room. She basically ignored the three of us, and we had to tell her that we needed to get on the wait list. She said it would be 15-20 minutes. Ugh. Of course. We should've just left at that point. Thirty minutes later (at least – again, not exaggerating) we saw people that walked up after us get seated. That was it. We had wasted 45 minutes just trying to get seated at 2 pm on a Friday! Come on! We walked back up to the room, and were ignored again. She finally spoke to us and said, "You're next on the list to be seated, I'm the only one hosting and cleaning up tables today". Sorry, but not my problem. Having worked in a restaurant and retail, I'm pretty forgiving – but I have my limits. Then, not 5 minutes later, she calls out for *another* party. Christie gave her the look from hell, and the lady had the cojones to say, "You're next". Hello? Christie continued the death ray glance and the lady finally gave in and seated us. Seriously. What a bunch of crap. THEN, we finally got a waitress (after watching others that came in after us be helped) and they were out of basically everything we wanted. If you're out of things, you should probably erase the menu off of the chalkboard outside of your restaurant. We all ended up getting the same thing, something we knew would be simple and quick to get to our table. Whatever. The food was good, prices weren't too bad, but we should have cut our losses and left when we were ignored for the first 15 minutes to even get on the list.
I had reserved a hotel room at the Hilton Post Oak near the Galleria. It was okay, not what I would expect a "4 star" hotel to be (that is the supposed rating for this hotel – I'd probably go more with 3 stars, but I'm a hotel snob). I got a good price on it, so it was just fine for what I paid. Due to good old Martha's Bloomers, we hit Houston at prime rush hour traffic time. We made it to the hotel and laid around for a good hour just talking and laughing – it was great.
We had reservations for dinner at Backstreet Cafe. We were so excited about this, because we rarely get to go out for nice dinners – ever. Nice for me is pretty much Chili's, if that gives you any clue. We were seated right away, on their awesome patio. I wouldn't sit out there in the summer (no way Jose!) but the weather was really nice that night. We started out with a pitcher of the red wine sangria and some of their fresh sourdough bread and butter. I could've eaten that bread all night and been completely happy! We had the artichoke flatbread for an appetizer – I don't branch out much, and the only artichoke thing I have ever had is spinach artichoke dip – it was good. I did find out I'm not a huge fan of artichoke hearts – no real reason, I think it just has a funky texture that I can't get with. Christie had the scallop special, Brittaney had the lobster special, and I had goat cheese stuffed chicken. I don't do seafood AT ALL, but I decided last year in Los Angeles that when I travel, I will try other foods, even if it means gagging.
Well, I will just say that I hate scallops and I don't like lobster. And also that Brittaney had to remind me to breathe and swallow. We're talking tears running down my face because those scallops were so buck nasty. I'm sure if you like lobster and scallops you would love both of those dishes, but I did not. My goat cheese stuffed chicken, however, was fantastic and I would like to replicate it for dinner someday.
They brought out an itty bitty mini almond cake with ice cream and a candle on top for Brittaney. It was on a tray with "Happy Birthday" written on it in chocolate. It was awesome! Then we ordered a Petit Trio of desserts, which included a dark chocolate raspberry cake with coffee ice cream, a pear crisp with vanilla ice cream, and a creme brulee. I only tried the pear crisp and creme brulee and loved them both equally.
We were there for 2.5 hours. It did not seem like that long because we did do a lot of eating and a lot of talking and drinking – but the service lacked a little. For the prices we paid, I expected better service, but I will go back next time I'm in Houston and give it another shot. Our waiter was attentive when he was there, but he just wasn't there enough
We went back to the hotel, drank some more wine, ate a couple of cupcakes we brought from Market Street, and went to sleep. We fell asleep watching Storage Wars: Texas. How sad is that? I do believe we were OUT by midnight.
The next morning we got our stuff packed up and checked out of the hotel. We went to Katz's for breakfast and it did not disappoint at all. Christie and Brittaney had mimosas, I stuck with water. Brittaney ordered challah french toast, I ordered buttermilk pancakes topped with bananas, and Christie ordered blueberry blintzes. Everything was SO good. I wish we had one here, I would go there every chance I got. Their lunch and dinner menu looked great too.
We did a little shopping at the Galleria, and then decided it was probably a good idea to head back home. We could only be gone for one night because Christie had to be back Saturday night. We ate at Chuy's in Cypress (always a favorite – give me Chuy's any day and I'm a happy girl). We planned to stop at Buc-ees again on our way back, but missed the exit. I'm still thinking about Beaver Nuggets and how delicious those crack-laced treats are.
I'm so glad we could pull this off – I know it was nice for Brittaney and Christie to have a night away from their kids and just enjoy themselves. I had a blast too. I'm glad we surprised Brittaney, and shocked. She does not let anything surprise her, but she can't say that now.
Happy birthday, B. I love you!
There's an app for that. Well, of course there is.
Posted: March 1, 2012 Filed under: random, whooo whoooooo | Tags: android, facebook, gaming, iphone, sherwin williams, technology Leave a commentSo, thanks to good old Facebook, I found a pretty cool website called AppSmitten.
I have an Android phone, and I rarely use apps – if you looked on my phone, you would think I had a kid or something because 90% of the apps I download are for my nephew. I haven't let him play with my new phone yet, but now that I've found this website that narrows down some of the choices I feel quite sure he will be playing on it soon enough.
AppSmitten lumps apps into category, and you can choose which platform you want to view apps for (Android/iPhone/iPad). Pretty cool! It's got lists, trendsetters, and best apps by category. For Android, it links you right to the app in the Android Market – makes it very simple.
So far I've downloaded:
I think I'm in big trouble.
What are some of your favorite apps?
I've been indulging in retail therapy FAR too much lately.
Posted: February 20, 2012 Filed under: shopping, whooo whoooooo | Tags: buckhead betties, coach outlet, coach purse, surprise gifts, time stress Leave a commentI'm still here. Haven't cooked a thing (unless you count heating up Healthy Choice steamer bowls, some of which I highly recommend). Haven't really made anything in about a month – last thing I made was a huge bag full of felt flowers for wreaths. Yeah, ended up giving a ton of them to my friend Dianthe. Hopefully she'll come up with a cute use for them! I made four wreaths (1 for me, 3 for surprise gifts) and love them.
We've had some big changes at work (some good, some bad) which has led to big time stress for old Heather. In the past, I shopped my stress away. However, I have been unable to do that to the extent I would have liked to do, but this year we had a little bonus from Uncle Sam. Sooooooooo… I'll just say I've indulged in some retail therapy and should probably stop quickly
Stupid Coach Outlet email "special invitation" sales. Honestly, I'm not a purse/bag person, but after this post you probably won't believe that. I have been carrying a black J. Crew purse that I stole from my sister. She bought it in high school when she worked there for a short time, and she is turning 32 in April if that gives you any clue to how old the purse is. In my defense, I have been wanting a black leather Coach purse for a while – not because I wanted A COACH PURSE, OMG! but because I know that they make good quality products that last a long, long time. I didn't want the famous Coach C's plastered all over it, so the Brooke Duffle was the perfect one for me. It should be here Monday or Tuesday. Eek!
Sneakpeeq is bad, bad, bad for my wallet – but I love that website. I feel like I've gotten some good deals on things I never knew I needed. It's fun to look at the "stores", and they give lots of little incentives for "peeqing". I've gotten free shipping, $10 for signing up, 10-15% off, etc. Not a bad deal! Anyway, I've purchased two things from them in the last few weeks. Those things just so happen to be tote bags.
Buckhead Betties sure does make some cute stuff! (Sneakpeeq link) I bought this tote. I'm a sucker for black/white/hot pink. I couldn't not get it.
(just imagine it in this color scheme – can't find a pic on the website!) I had never heard of Scout bags before sneakpeeq, but I think it's pretty freakin' cool. It will come in handy for our trip to Atlanta/Savannah this summer.
New tires for the car. Not fun, but it was very, very necessary. Now I can drive like a jerk again and not be afraid of spinning off the road.
New phones. We went with the Motorola Droid RAZR. It was time for our upgrade, and my husband's phone was 99.8% dead in the water, so we bit the bullet. Luckily, Verizon was having a BOGO sale on the Razrs, so we saved $200. Not too shabby! They should arrive on Tuesday.
I think that's about all I have really bought lately – Oh wait. Printer ink. Talk about a whooping. I hate buying that stuff, but now I can print useless crap again. Yay!
Trader Joe's is coming to Texas!
Posted: December 6, 2011 Filed under: cookbooks, random, shopping, whooo whoooooo Leave a comment(Not until next year, I don't think, but STILL – I am so excited!)
When I was in California this summer, you know I had to stop at Trader Joe's and buy a bunch of stuff. I ended up mailing home a 33 lb box. Holy crap. The 33 lbs does not include the crap we bought to snack on while we were IN California, either! At the Barnes & Noble in The Grove Los Angeles, I spotted a shelf full of Trader Joe's cookbooks. I'd forgotten about them until now, but I added them to my Wish List board on Pinterest – I have to plan ahead and prepare a list for when my stores open here in Texas, you know.
I also found a few TJ related blogs – LOVE!
Those of you that are TJ's pros – which products are the must have products? I am already a huge fan of the Black Bean Dip, the Cilantro Salad Dressing, and the Salted Caramel Sauce.
The way we eat is definitely going to change once Trader Joe's comes to town.
Oh man, I really suck.

(AFP) – Sep 21, 2008
LONDON (AFP) — The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams will on Wednesday become the first Anglican leader to visit the Roman Catholic shrine of Lourdes, his office said.
The Church of England chief will preach at the International Mass at the invitation of the Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes, Monsignor Jacques Perrier, Williams's Lambeth Palace said in a statement.
His appearance coincides with the 150th anniversary celebrations at the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes, in the southwestern French town, of what Catholics believe were apparitions of the Virgin Mary to French peasant girl Bernadette Soubirous.
Along with his address at the International Mass, celebrated by His Eminence Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity, Williams will also take part in a pilgrimage of bishops, clergy and laity of the Church of England.
Pope Benedict XVI visited Lourdes, one of the world's most revered Christian shrines in the foothills of the Pyrenees, earlier this month and held a mass for the sick there.

Combining a massive six heatpipe dual radiator design with an exquisite NF-P14/NF-P12 dual fan configuration, the NH-D14 is built for ultimate quiet cooling performance. Topped off with a tube of Noctua's award-winning NT-H1 thermal compound as well as the new SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system, the NH-D14 is an elite choice for the highest demands in premium quality quiet cooling.
Filter Results |
Worth itPros: Does it's job very well, better than Corsair H80i hands down. In comparison also design is top notch easy to install with one set of hands. Cons: None so far Did you find this review helpful? |
Insanely CoolPros: - Insanely low idle temps for me (12 - 21 degrees Celsius) Cons: - Very large!!! Be sure to check your case measurments Other Thoughts: - Be sure to clean your processor very thoroughly before applying new thermal grease Did you find this review helpful? |
huge but that's what helps make it good.Pros: It's huge but I don't think of that as a con. If you want great air cooling it translates to big heatsinks. Cons: It does overhang the ram slots so if you want to add/remove/service ram, you will have to remove the heatsink. However I knew this would be the case and it's an acceptable compromise for great cpu cooling. Did you find this review helpful? |
Fantastic cooling solution for a quiet PCPros: This device is very quiet on lowest speed settings, while effectively cooling the CPU. (I don't overclock.) It was so effective even at low speeds with my Haswell that I removed the back fan on my case for now. Build quality is high. I replaced a Corsair H100 (used on low settings as well) and the sound reduction benefits were immediately apparent. Cons: The cooler is massive but on par with other high-end air coolers. Check sites (such as PCpartpicker) to ensure compatibility with your RAM and case. The colors (beige and tan) are not exciting and look kind of '70's. Fortunately, my case lacks a window. Other Thoughts: Some of the technical instructions were hard to follow and, I believe, actually inaccurate. I had to guesstimate a few steps. Would buy again. Did you find this review helpful? |
Love itPros: I ran a overclocked core i7 930 at 3.3 for a few years with temps around 50-60c idle with the stock cooler. I'm now at 4.1ghz with my i7 930 and it idles around 28-33c. Two hours running prime95 and the highest temp was 71c. Love this cooler. Cons: Color is strange but I wanted some series cooling without liquid. As much as I didn't like the color I never took an egg off because I knew what I was buying; A COOLER THAT WORKS WITH HIGH OVERCLOCKING! Other Thoughts: Make sure this cooler will fit. The manufacture's website has a list of ram and motherboards that WILL and WON'T fit. It fits really well with my x58 sabertooth mobo and Kingston hyper x ram without the stupid cooling fins. I have 6, 2 gig sticks installed. The cooler sits over the first three sticks. I had to remove one fan on the side of the case that cooled the gpu. Other than that if fit really well in my Antec twelve hundred case. Did you find this review helpful? |
Cool sailingPros: If you want cool cpu temps, in my humble opinion, I think that this is the best cooler on the market. I've previously tried using water cooled devices, but was never satisfied with the temps I would get. The problem is that they are nothing more than closed-system radiators like the one in your car. Cons: It's big, but you knew that already. Did you find this review helpful? |
3+ years and going strongPros: I have owned two of these for 3 1/2 years now, one mounted on a i7 920 and the other on a 955BE. Both have worked great and the original fans are still going strong after all this time without issue. Cons: NONE. If I had to pick one item is they can overhang on the ram area but I knew this going in and if you want great cooling on air that has to be expected so I made sure I bought ram without a tall heatsink on it. Other Thoughts: i7 920 runs at stock speed, my 955 BE has been running at 3.8 for 3 1/2 years without issue. My systems see probably 5 hours a day use over all this time. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: The D14 is the last word in CPU air coolers. It will also match or beat those all in one water coolers that have become so popular. Cons: None, maybe the color of the fans but it grows on you...... Other Thoughts: Get this, forget the others... Did you find this review helpful? |
AMAZINGPros: Extremely silent and does a fantastic job keeping my CPU nice and cool all at the same time. Cons: Not really a con but it is pretty huge. I was aware of that before purchasing however. Just be aware before purchase and ensure your components next to the CPU will fit with this in your case. I made sure to get LP RAM and everything fit great Other Thoughts: If you want a quiet and efficient case, you can't go wrong here. Did you find this review helpful? |
It's a MONSTER!Pros: This monster keeps my FX 8320 running cool. I overclocked from 3.5 to 4.2 ghz with zero problems with even more head room. The CPU is running at 30 celc while idle and 35-38 celc while playing BF4. Cons: This thing is extremely huge. I read all the reviews and never would have guessed how big the cooler really is. The cooler is bigger than my power supply. If I would have known it took up so much room I would not have bought it. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

GM-CSF Controls Nonlymphoid Tissue Dendritic Cell Homeostasis but Is Dispensable for the Differentiation of Inflammatory Dendritic Cells

SummaryGM-CSF (Csf-2) is a critical cytokine for the in vitro generation of dendritic cells (DCs) and is thought to control the development of inflammatory DCs and resident CD103+ DCs in some tissues. Here we showed that in contrast to the current understanding, Csf-2 receptor acts in the steady state to promote the survival and homeostasis of nonlymphoid tissue-resident CD103+ and CD11b+ DCs. Absence of Csf-2 receptor on lung DCs abrogated the induction of CD8+ T cell immunity after immunization with particulate antigens. In contrast, Csf-2 receptor was dispensable for the differentiation and innate function of inflammatory DCs during acute injuries. Instead, inflammatory DCs required Csf-1 receptor for their development. Thus, Csf-2 is important in vaccine-induced CD8+ T cell immunity through the regulation of nonlymphoid tissue DC homeostasis rather than control of inflammatory DCs in vivo.

Daigo Hashimoto, Jennifer Miller and Miriam Merad
SummaryMacrophage and dendritic cell (DC) are hematopoietic cells found in all tissues in the steady state that share the ability to sample the environment but have distinct function in tissue immunity. Controversies remain on the best way to distinguish macrophages from DCs in vivo. In this Perspective, we discuss how recent discoveries in the origin of the DC and macrophage lineage help establish key functional differences between tissue DC and macrophage subsets. We also emphasize the need to further understand the functional heterogeneity of the tissue DC and macrophage lineages to better comprehend the complex role of these cells in tissue homeostasis and immunity.

Boyer, E. Camilla Forsberg, Masato Tanaka, Nico van Rooijen, Adolfo García-Sastre, E. Richard Stanley, Florent Ginhoux, Paul S. Frenette and Miriam Merad
SummaryDespite accumulating evidence suggesting local self-maintenance of tissue macrophages in the steady state, the dogma remains that tissue macrophages derive from monocytes. Using parabiosis and fate-mapping approaches, we confirmed that monocytes do not show significant contribution to tissue macrophages in the steady state. Similarly, we found that after depletion of lung macrophages, the majority of repopulation occurred by stochastic cellular proliferation in situ in a macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-Csf)- and granulocyte macrophage (GM)-CSF-dependent manner but independently of interleukin-4. We also found that after bone marrow transplantation, host macrophages retained the capacity to expand when the development of donor macrophages was compromised. Expansion of host macrophages was functional and prevented the development of alveolar proteinosis in mice transplanted with GM-Csf-receptor-deficient progenitors. Collectively, these results indicate that tissue-resident macrophages and circulating monocytes should be classified as mononuclear phagocyte lineages that are independently maintained in the steady state.

► IL-34 is critical for the development and maintenance of LCs ► IL-34 is required for LC maintenance but not monocyte-derived repopulation in inflammation ► IL-34 is critical for the homeostasis of adult microglia ► IL-34 protein is produced in the epidermis and brain of mice and humans
- Colony stimulating factor-1 (Csf-1) receptor and its ligand Csf-1 control macrophage development, maintenance, and function. The development of both Langerhans cells (LCs) and microglia is highly dependent on Csf-1 receptor signaling but independent of Csf-1. Here we show that in both mice and humans, interleukin-34 (IL-34), an alternative ligand for Csf-1 receptor, is produced by keratinocytes in the epidermis and by neurons in the brain. Mice lacking IL-34 displayed a marked reduction of LCs and a decrease of microglia, whereas monocytes, dermal, and lymphoid tissue macrophages and DCs were unaffected. We identified IL-34 as a nonredundant cytokine for the development of LCs during embryogenesis as well as for their homeostasis in the adult skin. Whereas inflammation-induced repopulation of LCs appears to be dependent on Csf-1, once inflammation is resolved, LC survival is again IL-34-dependent. In contrast, microglia and their yolk sac precursors develop independently of IL-34 but rely on it for their maintenance in the adult brain.

The cause was never determined but the Italian military was indicted for hindering the investigation and providing false information. Typical Italian bureaucracy. After walking back, we just went for coffee and hung out in our apartment for the last day. ...
What to do, what to do?
Another lazy morning. I made Jim bacon and eggs for breakfast. A real treat for him. We took the time to do a bit of planning for the next few days. Booked a small, stone cottage near Lake Como for a few days next week. Decided our next stop will be Parma, before Milan. Headed out to Museo per la Memoria di Ustica, it's a museum dedicated to the plane crash near here. ...

**Bracelet Love**
13 comments:
Very pretty bracelet Melinda- What about calling it Love Charm or the Charms of Love.. It looks very funky and you have made some nice choices of types of beads combined with the metal links.
You will know if selling it is the right choice for you.. It would be hard to part with I am sure.
Warmest regards,
AnnaHi Melinda, what a beautiful piece of jewellery. I love the way you have brought together the chunky and delicate look. I agree with everyone..the aqua rhinestone is stealing the show, draws your eyes into its beauty. I'm going for "Mermaid Belle"....think the aqua rhinestone is a beautiful Mermaid on the chunky, yet glimmery rocks.
Kind Regards
I am always so happy to hear from all of you!!~ Thank you for taking the time to stop by for a visit, you always make my day sweeter with your kindness!!~

I was in the mood for a good puzzle game and picked it up tonight. Got through all 30 levels in an hour. Definitely agree that a score or timer would add incentive to replay the levels. Tough to post bragging rights on Miiverse without that. Still, it was enjoyable and worth the $2.

This game is remarkable. The 3-D is so good. I have it at around 75% and there's no eye strain at all. It's closer to arcade perfect than any other version. The game itself does get a little repetitive, but even as a casual fan of the game I know I spent more than $6 in quarters on it, so this is definitely worth grabbing now.
I remember going into a department store and getting to play this when I was 10 years old. I think that's all I need.
It was a pretty average fighting game after the novelty of it wore off. If anyone really wants to play it they can probably find the game used for around $20 and then you can pay for all the DLC and still have it cheaper than the Ultimate edition.
Ugghh... I remember this book. I bought it for a 10 hour car-ride for a family vacation. Just flat out awful on every level. It guaranteed that despite being a young Nintendo junkie I would never pick up a Worlds of Power book again. Hell it was so bad I'm surprised I ever picked up a book again.
its funny how much nostalgia can affect a game so much. This was one of the first nes games I ever played and I'm not even sure I enjoyed it back then. But I will still play this today and oddly enough have fun despite it being unplayable in some spots.
Its tough to pick two games much better than those two. Very tough to live up though. I hope he pulls off something good.
I loved River City Ransom. One of the all time great 8 bit games. I'd grab this in a heart beat. As it is, since I don't own a Vita and don't plan on getting a PS4 for a while, and I don't use my PC to game, a Wii U or 3DS version is the only way I'd play it. I wonder why no PS3 version... I guess they're not planning it on coming out for a while?
I have a bad feeling they won't make the goal though I'd live to see this game. That video is really awful due to all the attempts at humor. Plus they need to commit to console versions even if it means asking for more money, and not as stretch goals. Plus their timing is not good. Kickstarters for Mighty 9, Shantae and others have made for a really crowded place and time.
I was amazed at how much fun this game was. As soon as I started playing it, I didn't put it down for about 4 hours. The next time I started it I played until I finished it, and then started back up again.
I also kind of considered the $.30 game program pretty darn close to the Ambassador program. If Nintendo wanted to reconsider I think that's the route they should go, and offer nearly free games again. Tough to complain at that price point.
I wonder if they'll "edit" some of the leaders. The guy who has clocked in the most time playing has pretty clearly just left his system on. Last I checked his time spent playing was 137 hours and the next closest person was in the 40's.
I'm curious about it. The creator of the game, Yasuhiro Wada, kind of made it in response to the Harvest Moon series focusing too much on the social aspect of the game, and losing the balance that he originally intended between working and playing so to speak.
Wow, give GameStop the Devil's Tarot card. When asked to comment on an accusation of bad business, they spun it into a promotion. That takes 20 pound balls.
@unrandomsam Disney and Nintendo also have a business relationship in place. A lot of Disney games (including Wreck It Ralph) are exclusive to Nintendo consoles. So the use of Bowser was just an example of the "you scratch my back, I scratch yours" relationship they have in place.
@C-Olimar - The original Harvest Moon is a little more basic than HM64. For the most part, all the same elements are there but there are less of them. Fewer crops to grow, fewer villagers, fewer festivals, etc. It's still fun though, but it does get repetitive quickly. The only real negative is that there is almost nothing to do in the Winter.
Sadly Natsume has said time and time again that they cannot bring Harvest Moon 64 to the Virtual Console, so this may be the one chance for retro Harvest Moon gaming that we'll get for a while.
I would throw down some kickstarter money for this translation just based on how much I loved this show as a kid. This show was just epic.
When I was a kid this was a highly sought after NES game because it was nearly impossible to find, and yet the description of the game made it seem so cool. And now when I get to play it. . . 25 years of hype right down the drain.
Good to hear. I had it the original on the 3DS, but didn't feel like getting the sequel on it again as I much prefer playing things on a large screen.
It's great if they're fixing it for bugs, but I'm unlikely to pick it up. It was going to be one of the games to fill up my July, but at this rate I'm just going to hold off and save my money for the August line-up of games.

Bludgeoned (2002) Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
I can not believe I did this film. My career went from the toilet to the sewers. I cant even get Michael Jackson to touch me anymore. Atleast working with marissa gave me plenty of stroke material. I have made the guys I went to high school with so proud.
As for a career in acting, I have been reduced to non speaking roles in animal erotica (TJ style, bottom that is)
But as I have heard this is how Ben Affleck got his start so there is still hope for me…
Ok maybe not

Regardless of who it is, if Overture does not continue with AOL, I fear for ODP.
My bet says Google. How they structure it to make money for both companies could be interesting. AOL absolutely must focus on income, Google can focus on exposure. The Adwords concept does not appear ready for prime time - nor does it appear to me that there is enough income at this point to share with AOL.
AOL would benefit from the addition of arguably the worlds most relevant search engine, but they would still need to continue to favor their commercial partners in the SERP's.
This is going to be interesting.

First map to name America goes on display at Library of Congress
The Library has the only surviving copy of the famous Waldseemüller map, created in 1507 by Martin Waldseemüller, a German cartographer living in France. The map was a major departure from earlier maps in that it relied less on the received wisdom of Classical geographers like Ptolemy and more on reports by the many explorers of the time.
Waldseemüller studied reports by Christopher Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci and decided Columbus was wrong in thinking he had reached India. Waldseemüller favored Vespucci's theory that the lands they were exploring on the other side of the Atlantic were actually part of a previously unknown continent. Waldseemüller rewarded Vespucci by naming the continent after him. America is the feminized Latin form of Vespucci's first name. All other continents had Latin feminine names, so it fit.
The map is not only correct about the New World, but also portrays other parts of the globe far more accurately than other maps of the time. It's a fine work of art too, with detailed depictions of terrain and portraits of Ptolemy and Vespucci.

Actually, the map is part of the ongoing exhibit "Exploring the Early Americas." (http://myloc.gov/Exhibitions/EarlyAmericas/Pages/default.aspx)
The interactive features on the Waldsemüller map are available at: http://myloc.gov/Exhibitions/EarlyAmericas/AftermathoftheEncounter/DocumentingNewKnowledge/CartographicTreasures/ExhibitObjects/INT_WaldsMaps.aspx
The Lewis & Clark Exhibit was in 2003.

Hi, Sean. I'm the Library's communications director. Could you point me to what you're looking at? As far as I know, everything is current.
We made a massive media effort last year to make sure people knew about the new "Library of Congress Experience," of which the Waldseemueller map is a crown jewel. (We believe that effort is paying off, as average visitorship this year is up more than 50 percent.)

A colleague sent me your Information Bulletin on the map, but failed to include the margins, which showed that it was not your current bulletin. My mistake for not going to the source. Keep up the good work at the LoC.

Aha. Well, it wouldn't have been the first mistake we had made -- nor the last. ;-)
Thanks for the post.

So. The continent was originally named America. But it should be renamed since the US has usurpated its name and fooled a lot of people into thinking that it is a nation or a country.
There is no such thing as an "american" flag. There is no such thing as an "american" dollar. This continent has no flag or currency. Mexico is on the same continent as the U.S. and - believe it or not - they are de facto americans too.
The United States used to be just a part of America, not America itself; hence the name: United States OF America. Trying to set it straight is absolutely impossible now given the jingoistic and fanatical closed-mindedness of US citizens.
The Continent should therefore be renamed.

Are you getting traffic from it? I agree with explorador. As soon as you stop paying him he can take his blog and point the traffic elsewhere. It would be better to create the blog on your domain. I normally set up a subdomain blog.example.com. This gives you links to your site that you own. This also gives you help with reputation management. It can make it so that you have 4 results on the first page for your company or product name.

The aim is to enable developers to rapidly produce high throughput, low latency systems capable of processing billions of events a day. ghostream inverts the typical relationship developers have with data. Without access to all the data at once, developers have to consider which parts of the data they absolutely need to arrive at a particular goal. Because of the need to keep the system moving, hanging on to data is an anti-pattern, forcing developers to consider how to take advantage of the data as quickly as possible. This results in components and systems that are scalable, fault tolerant, and uniquely suited for distributed environments.

Victim: Put your bad experience to good use by speaking out
Fri, Apr 21st, 2006
Posted in Commentary
Posted in Commentary
On September 17, 2005, at the age of fifteen, I became a victim. I was approached by a complete stranger, a 26 year old married man and father. I was all alone and had nowhere to go when this man took away my trust and safety. I was a victim of an attempted kidnapping and rape. This man only cared about himself and no one else that day. This man tried to commit these serious crimes by using me as a victim, but I was able to escape his �imprisonment.� I was saved by a man that I thought was sent by God. After he had driven past the site where I was held, and I had noticed my hero drive by, I grabbed the grass for so much strength to get out of that ditch and run for my freedom and safety; because I was saved, I now look at myself as the hero who has put this evil man away from hurting and scarring someone else�s life. After the incident, my life changed a great deal. I no longer had trust in people. I didn�t leave my house at all. I hardly spoke any words for the first two to three weeks after the incident. I became constantly scared of everything everywhere. It was very hard to bring myself to come to school after it had happened. At school I felt little support and comfort. I hated being around anyone that I wasn�t very close with, like teachers or the other kids in my class. I was constantly restless and always nervous. All I wanted to do was curl up into the tightest ball I could and just sit there in some corner of a room, or under my mom�s arms. Our house doors were constantly locked and I was having constant nightmares with this man present in them and I became afraid of the dark. I did not sleep in my own bedroom at all, I slept on the couch in our living room, and still do sometimes. But I am gradually trying to sleep in my own room now, with several nightlights on. My moods also became very unpredictable and I felt that no one understood any of my feelings. I am slowly healing in some parts, but I will always be scarred in the parts that don�t heal. I am also very thankful for my life, and for the people in it for helping me through this. I appreciate those who have cared for me even though I am a complete stranger to them. It gives me faith in our law enforcement and judicial systems when they keep these predators off of society�s streets, and give people like me a chance to heal. I encourage anyone who is ever a victim to always step up, speak the truth, tell someone, and put your bad experience to good use by helping someone else who needs your confidence. Please, don�t ever blame yourself and don�t ever be afraid to tell someone - because remember, by doing so, you are probably saving someone else�s life.

A Robbinsville man has been sentenced to five months in prison for killing an black bear cub in the Nantahala National Forest.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Dennis Howell also ordered Tyler Micaiah Colvin to pay $2,232 restitution to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission for killing the cub in October 2011.
Colvin, 20, used a .50 caliber muzzleloader to kill the cub in the national forests Wayah Bear Sanctuary in Macon County, federal prosecutors said. Colvin fired three shots, one of which fatally wounded the bear cub.
Killing bears within a bear sanctuary is prohibited. It is also illegal to kill a bear weighing less than 50 pounds.
Prosecutors say that after Colvin shot the bear cub, he skinned it and removed the paws and some meat. He left the remainder of the carcass and the entrails in the forest.
Forest agents apprehended Colvin and retrieved the bear parts from his vehicle.
Colvin pleaded guilty in December 2012 to one count of transporting wildlife that had been taken in violation of federal laws and regulations, which is a violation of the Lacey Act.
Colvin will be under one year of supervision when hes released from prison. The magistrate judge also ordered Colvin to surrender his hunting license while he is under court supervision. Colvin is prohibited from engaging in any hunting activities during that year. He was also ordered to forfeit the muzzleloader rifle, a powder horn, and a deer call device.

How to Check Windows XP Hard Disk Condition
The Check Disk Utility (also called "CHKDSK") is a diagnostic and repair tool. It is an integral part of the Windows XP operating system. If your hard drive is malfunctioning, use this utility to troubleshoot and fix errors on the drive. You might still be able to use the drive, but if it is damaged, it's only a matter of time before it fails. Use the reports produced by the Check Disk utility to prepare for that eventuality.
Run CHKDSK Without Fixing Errors
Run the CHKDSK utililty without fixing errors to simply check the health of your hard drive.
Click the Windows "Start" button on your desktop and choose "Run." Type "cmd" in the text box. Click "OK." The DOS screen opens. -
Accept the default settings or change the directory for checking your hard disk by typing "cd \" and pressing "Enter" to go to the top level of the "C:" drive.
Run CHKDSK on a different drive by typing "D:" or "E:" to check those drives, or substitute the letter of the drive you want to check. Press "Enter."
Type "chkdsk" without quotes and press "Enter." The specified drive will be examined.
Run CHKDSK and Fix Errors
Run CHKDSK and let Windows fix errors automatically if any are detected on the drive. First, back up your files and then run this program in Safe mode. This may take an hour or more, depending on the size of your drive and the speed of your computer. At the CHKDSK screen, type "chkdsk/f" without the quotes and press "Enter."
Lock the drive that you've directed CHKDSK to scan. Type "lock C:" without the quotes and press "Enter." Replace the "C:" with the appropriate letter if you are checking a different drive.
Respond to the error message, if Windows displays one, indicating that the drive you want to check is not locked. The message will read "...cannot perform check because the disk is currently in use by other programs, the volume needs to dismounted first...". Press "Y" to confirm that you want to unmount the drive. CHKDSK will lock and close all processes on that drive.
