Cross Catholic Outreach Responds to Urgent Needs
And Prepares for Rebuilding Efforts
Great things are possible when committed Catholics work together to meet a need! Early contributions to our special relief effort have already allowed us to begin distributing a million meals to typhoon victims. This support has also funded a huge container of medicines for the area, and is allowing our partners "in the trenches" to fund their special outreaches into storm-ravaged communities.
Your continued support of the priests, nuns and Catholic lay leaders already at work in the Philippines is crucial – and they are deeply grateful for the help.
A Cross sponsored food distribution in Leyte, one of the most affected areas after the Typhoon.
In this stage of the relief effort, our focus continues to be on food and medical relief, but work is also underway on programs to clear debris and provide shelter. As always, we give our ministry partners the control and flexibility they need to address the many problems they encounter. Our role is to support their efforts as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
In addition to this emergency relief stage, Cross Catholic Outreach also plans to be involved in the rebuilding and restoration phases which will follow. In the week ahead, please pray for our partnering priests, nuns and Catholic lay leaders in the Philippines and please consider a special contribution to support their efforts. As always, your financial gifts are tax deductible and will be used to effectively reach those who need help most. Thank you and God bless!

Regional School District 13 launched its new website today.
The new website can be found at the same address: http://rsd13ct.org/
School officials have been working for many months on improving the district's website as part of an effort to improve communication with parents, students and the community.
"We are excited about the many new features and links that will make for easier navigation and use," a statement on the website's homepage from Superintendent Susan Viccaro reads. "We strive to partner with parents and community as we work to educate the youth of Durham and Middlefield."
The new website's features include individual pages for each school, a customizable district calendar and a Twitter feed that provides fun facts and updates within the district.
Region 13 Board of Education member Robert Fulton, chairman of the board's Communications Committee, said the website will soon include an area called Board Corner where the public will have direct access to the board and information.
"The whole idea is enhancing communcation with the public," Fulton said.

Rocky buffs, ready your bank accounts.

And this house isn't priced at some astronomical celebrity rate, helped by the fact that…
Floyd Mayweather Jr. said he lost $900K on that last play of the Packers-Seahawks game
Mar 14, 2013, 8:00 PM EST
Remember that play that basically killed off the replacement referees and sent most of the NFL into a ruckus, mostly directed at Roger Goodell, who has definitely started to look sadder over the years from all of his errors in commissionership. But his biggest gaffe may have been his stubborn reluctance to work out a deal…
PSA: Do not harass boxers over Twitter because they will track down your house and try to annihilate you
Mar 14, 2013, 5:34 PM EST
This is the story of the keyboard warrior who found himself hiding out in his house from British boxer Curtis Woodhouse, who got so upset at the tweets of torment that he tracked down our nerdy antagonist and literally called him out into the street. Result: a troll who has learned a very important lesson…

Mar 13, 2013, 7:03 PM EST
Comments OffIt's South by Southwest week in Austin, Texas, and that means misguided but earnest attempts at unveiling products that advance our culture.

Mar 13, 2013, 9:00 AM EST
Mark Roberts was doing that thing he likes to do which is climb the sides of mountains, and it was going pretty well. Left pick, right pick. The usual. And then an ice ball fell off of another climber, knocking Roberts off his groove and turning what was an enjoyable mountain climb into a terrifying…
And so it goes: Just like we thought, Aaron Carter CANNOT actually beat Shaq
Mar 7, 2013, 1:53 PM EST
Comments OffTwelve years ago, Aaron Carter came out with the uber popular rap track That's How I Beat Shaq, complete with a music video that showed him draining jumpers (with horrible shooting form) and traveling all over the place for layups (where are the refs?) against a hapless Shaq, cut between dance sessions with cheerleaders, crazy…

Get ready for one of the most adorable meetings of athletic supremacy, when a 22-year-old Ichiro Suzuki, sporting a Tom and Jerry sweatshirt and looking like a high school sophomore, crossed paths with His Airness himself, Michael Jordan, circa 1995. This results in a riveting conversation that miraculously has been caught on tape, which you…
Navy Federal Credit Union teams with the Mobile BayBears to create an unsittable seat for a good cause
Mar 5, 2013, 3:33 PM EST
No matter how well the Mobile BayBears do this season, they will never have a sellout. And that's by design. To honor all of the prisoners of war and soldiers missing in action who have never returned, the Navy Federal Credit Union and BayBears (Double-A, Southern League) have dedicated a seat at Hank Aaron Stadium…

Mar 4, 2013, 2:30 PM EST
Grambling State is on the brink of submitting only the eighth winless season in Division I basketball history after an 0-27 regular season, in which they lost no game by fewer than double digits. The misery isn't over, however. They get one more shot at basketball redemption in the SWAC tournament, which they miraculously qualified…

The "Monster Cross and Mountain Bike race" at Pocahontas State Park in Virginia was rolling along smoothly for mountain bike racer Jeff Plassman. Yeah, there were a lot of people in front of him but there were also a couple of people behind him too. That is, until he was knocked out by a deer…
Blinded by Adidas: New NCAA tournament 'Adizero' jerseys … remember Fruit Stripe Gum?
Feb 28, 2013, 3:16 PM EST
If there's ever a reason to use the made-up word 'terribad', these jerseys are it. With sleeved tops that look like they were salvaged from a highlighter factory explosion to pants ripped straight from a 1991 Fruit Stripe Gum commercial, Adidas has really made a doozy of a uniform combination for six teams in the…
It's starting to look like the besleeved basketball jersey look the Golden State Warriors broke out last week will be more than a funky flash in the pan. Adidas Vice President Lawrence Norman confirmed today that the NCAA tournament will feature a handful of teams that will unveil their own brand of revolutionary bicep hiding…

Watch Jimmy Kimmel lose at pop-a-shot to a relentless two-year-old (video)
Feb 22, 2013, 5:09 PM EST
The two-year-old trick shooting toddler/infant Titus has set the bar really high for his future self after his recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he handily demolished the goofy jokeman in pop-a-shot. Something tells me this kid is really going to like beer pong some day. Wielding a bizarre over-the-head set shot, Titus may…
What did the stray cat say to a crocodile at an Indian zoo? SLAP! (video)
Feb 21, 2013, 3:28 PM EST
Comments OffA random stray tomcat, or 'moggy', if you want to know how the British say things, wandered into an Indian zoo and found himself face to face with a crocodile. Most everybody would turn tail and make for the exits in this situation. But some cats (mostly of the street) have the ability to be…

Comments OffThe next time you think you're slowly creeping closer to the hapless end of life tradition of crossword puzzles, slow driving and horrible hearing, you should attempt to turn back the tide of aging by gathering motivation from one hero zoo animal: a sea otter named "Eddie". At age sixteen, Eddie is considered a geriatric…
What started out as a college baseball game quickly devolved into a snowball fight (video)
Feb 18, 2013, 6:14 PM EST
Dayton and Gardner-Webb had every intention to play a game of baseball on Saturday night, but nature threw them a change of plan in the sixth inning when a monster snow storm dumped on the state of North Carolina. Baseball had been rendered impossible. A high octane snowball fight had replaced it instead. With a…
Tottenham's Gareth Bale is trying to make game-winning buzzer beaters a thing in soccer too (video)
Feb 15, 2013, 4:19 PM EST
It was a regular old 1-1 stalemate going into the 93rd minute of Tottenham's Europa League soccer matchup against Lyon when, after a foul outside the box, Lyon midfielder Gareth Bale got a chance at a last-second free kick to the win the game. And we do mean last-second, because they were in extra time…
Behold: 348-pound Univ. of Hawaii running back recruit David Fangupo (video)
Feb 13, 2013, 2:18 PM EST
From Refrigerator Perry to Natrone Means to Jerome Bettis to Brandon Jacobs, football has always been a little intrigued by the concept of a fast fat guy who could carry the ball, lumbering through defense on dancer's feet and tree trunk thighs. But none of them fits the caricature better than 348-pound David Fangupo of…
One-handed safety Shaquem Griffin makes pretty amazing interception (video)
Feb 7, 2013, 4:45 PM EST
Shaquem Griffin was born with a birth defect that left him with a deformed hand, which caused him constant pain until doctors removed the hand when he was four. But Shaquem hasn't let the setback get in his way, especially when it comes to football. Griffin, a senior safety for Lakewood (FL) High School, on…
Man's attempt at being the last to know the score of the Super Bowl thwarted by rogue email
Feb 6, 2013, 4:13 PM EST
Every year beginning on Super Bowl Sunday, a dedicated group of gaming enthusiasts take part in a competition to see who among them can go the longest without learning the final score of the Super Bowl. They call it Last Man, and it was invented by Kyle Whelliston in 1989. Whelliston later founded the basketball…
The day that Ray Lewis lost the state high school wrestling title (video)
Feb 1, 2013, 5:50 PM EST
As you might imagine, Ray Lewis spent most of his high school career dominating everything he touched. His Kathleen High, Fla., rivals cowered at his athletic ability and high spittle rate. And almost all of them were no match for Lewis, except for one special day in 1992 when a kid from Columbus High named…

Excellent! We drove down from Tennessee & our friends drove up from central Florida. We both were in the USMC & haven't seen each other in a year or so. We had a great time & couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Very close to everything & within walking distance to the beach. We had 2 small children with us as well whom enjoyed the pool area. Hope to stay again soon.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

My wife and I spent a week here in early November and will definitely stay here again. Very comfortable condo only a short walk to the beach. Pluses include: well stocked kitchen including coffee pot and plenty of pots and pans for cooking in the unit, great water pressure in the shower, up to date decorations/furniture, HD cable TV downstairs (upstairs are regular cable). Complex was very quiet at night and we were able to sleep with the windows open. Wireless was fine for surfing the internet but was a little slow for video with multiple people online at the same time, but I think it was a problem with the internet provider and not the router (which was rated for 100mbps but was only putting out 54mbps). This is also not the place to stay if you want a party atmosphere. The bedrooms are both upstairs so if you have trouble with stairways you might not like this unit. The owners were great. Since they live close, and have another unit they rent, they were only a couple minutes away if we needed anything. Highly recommended. A great value.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Just returned from a 7day stay at this condo, after a dance competition. Words can not describe this condo and the generosity of the owners. The pictures failed to describe this condo. Condo was spotless and WELL maintained. Beds were very inviting. Condo had everything I desire, to say the least. The owners were very generous and caring. They were always happy to assist and responded immediately to all my questions. Mike sent detail instructions " Dumpy guide" to using a lock box, phone, TV etc. Love the gas grill, extremely easy to use. Love the patio furniture and enjoy watching my kids swim from the patio. Could not get my kids to come in the condo, due to the pool and golf in the back yard. Thanks for the golf equipts, beach towels, lotion, shampoo etcs. Love the flat screen Televisions and reclining chairs. I felt like I was staying at an upscale HOTEL.... Beach is no more than 10 minutes walk using the back way. Grocery stores, restaurants and all the entertainments nearby. This is my 4th year at PCB for dance competition and my best lodging ever... Thank you Mike and Barb. Looking forward to using this condo every year.......dance season. I highly recommend this condo to everyone. I LOVE IT!!!!!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

Many large retailers were open on Thanksgiving Day. Now, one Missouri lawmaker wants to limit that.
State Representative Jeff Roorda (D, Barnhart) plans to file legislation that would make it illegal for most retail stores in Missouri to be open for business on Thanksgiving. He filed the "Thanksgiving Family Protection Act" during the 2013 regular session, but it went nowhere, not even getting a hearing. Roorda says he's trying again, nevertheless.
Originally published on Fri February 22, 2013 4:24 pm
State and local-level school officials would be required to develop guidelines for teaching evolution under legislation making its way through the Missouri House.
If passed, school districts would have to, "encourage students to explore scientific questions" regarding the "strengths and weaknesses" of both biological and chemical evolution. The sponsor, State Representative Andrew Koenig (R, Winchester), says House Bill 179 stresses academic freedom.
"It does not mandate curriculum to the teacher," Koenig said. "It's really up to the school district, and if evolution is gonna be taught, it just allows them to teach the scientific strengths and weaknesses."

Just picked raspberries and blueberries
Pups and I just picked $30 worth of blueberries and red/gold raspberries yesterday at an area farm. Any suggestions for what to do with them besides "the usual"? (I have a pastry dough chilling in the fridge for a lattice top blueberry pie) As usual...TIA!!!!!
Monday I picked some blueberries from my grandmother's yard and yesterday morning I made up a cobbler recipe. It was gone before dark. I mixed the traditional biscuit/pastry topping cobbler with the easy batter type cobbler. So basically lots of butter, flour, sugar, and Blueberries! I'll have to post the recipe as soon as I remember it...
jam is obvious.
i've wanted to make this:

cake slice's marbled lemon blueberry cake (calls for making your own preserves too
)blueberry sorbet
blueberry cream cheese danishes or strudel -
Make the raspberry tart in Patricia Wells' Bistro Cooking (p 236). Raspberries baked in creme fraiche and egg yolks. Gorgeous, simple, and much more than the sum of its few parts.
Cafe du Jura's Raspberry Tart
for a 9 to 10 inch tart3 egg yolks
3/4 cup creme fraiche
3 tablespoons sugar
pre-baked tart shell
2 cups fresh raspberries
powdered sugarPreheat oven to 375.
Mix yolks, creme fraiche and sugar. Pour into the baked and cooled tart shell. Arrange the berries in a single layer on top.
Bake until the creme is just set, about 15 minutes.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar. -
I made a triple raspberry (red, black, and purple) pie after going picking recently: http://areyouhungryyet.blogspot.com/2009/07/triple-raspberry-pie.html
Raspberry/blueberry ice cream
Marcel Desaulniers' white chocolate pattycake (covered with raspberries): http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/vid...
Ina Garten's red and golden raspberry tart (I think it's in her first cookbook ... beautiful and very good)
Don't forget to save 1/4 cup of your raspberries and stir them into the Ghirardelli brownie recipe (the one on their Sweet Ground Chocolate and Cocoa canister). I also add 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips or shaved white chocolate. Don't forget to mash the berries with a spoon or fork as you add them into the batter. Mmmmmmmmm!
re: kattyeyes
I made a really nice cake from smittenkitchen twice last week - don't know whether the photos with the recipe or the name Blueberry Boy Bait was most enticing!
Blueberry pancakes are one of my faves. Along with crisps and cobblers. I prefer to make my smoothies out of frozen fruit, because you don't have to "water them down" with ice. My smoothies are very healthy. Frozen fruit. Low fat milk. Whey protein powder. Light vanilla yogurt. Yum. We go to the pick your own places and I freeze about 20 quarts of blueberries every year.
4chow....do you already make your own smoothies? they don't have to be calorie-packing sweet junk...blueberries with a ripe banana, maybe some o.j. to sweeten IF NEEDED...0% yogurt or kefir...some ground flax meal or natural peanut butter...ice if preferred...you are GOOD to go in the a.m.!!! Wish I knew of some savory blueberry dishes...betcha there are some though!
Crush them up a little bit so you've got plenty of juice but still some whole berries as well, pour in ice cube trays and freeze. These are wonderful all times of years in lemonade, limeade, cocktails, smoothies, even just club soda or regular coke. Or you can just pop a whole one in your mouth for a mini popsicle! If you save some for winter you'll have a nice reminder of fresh summer fruit, too.
Recipe calls for 3 (1/2 dry pint) baskets of fresh raspberries. (Use caution for the pups though).
The Blueberry Buttermilk Tart at Epicurious is delicious.
I'm thinking raspberry panna cotta with some Chambord with extra raspberries macerated in it and served over the top

Well, I feel better to know I'm not the only one, lol! I'm using the preggo excuse as well, it is just too hard to chase a toddler for an hour in my preggo state, not to mention lift her up and down from her highchair multiple times. I actually need to look at the instruction manual for that high chair as I am 99% positive it converts to a booster seat, I just am not sure how to take it apart.
We don't eat in front of the TV at all if DH is actually eating with us, but he is in school most evenings so the only nights we eat as a family are on the weekends, if he is hungry at a reasonable dinner hour to join us since his schedule is more of a night schedule. If it is just me and DD, there isn't much conversation going on at the dinner table besides me yelling at her for spitting her food out, throwing it, etc, unfortunately. If I put on the TV, she will eat all her food within 10 minutes, then the TV goes off and we can spend the evening playing and reading books instead of me yelling at her and chasing her around.
I did have success getting her to eat last night when I made cookies. I told her she couldn't have a cookie until she ate all of her dinner-she ate every bite and didn't spit any of it out. I was ecstatic, lol!

Just wondering...
My baby who has been breech for most of the third trimester moved *all the time* I couldn't speak or sit or walk or anything without HUGE movement, all day long it felt (maybe it was trying to turn?). Now the baby is head down it moves so much less. Like less than 50% less. I called my midwife over on saturday and she checked the heart rate etc and all seemed fine. Then still freaked about the lack of movement I went to be monitored in hospital for a bit just to check there were actually variations in the baby's pulse. Again all seemed fine. I guess I am just startled at the night and day feeling aspect of the baby moving less. Anyone else experience this?

Railroads attempt to reduce coal dust emissions
Coal dust emissions from trains could be cut following a recent ruling by the federal Surface Transportation Board. The Board ruled earlier this month that rail companies can require use of dust suppressants or 'toppers' on coal cars.
BNSF was one of the companies pushing for the rule. Spokeswoman Courtney Wallace says coal dust has been shown to foul the tracks and lead to accidents.
"And so we've started looking at and doing a lot of field testing, doing a lot of research into coal dust mitigation efforts, and that's how we can up with our rule, where if you use the approved topping agents plus with the way it's loaded, it very much reduces issues with coal dust not only at the mines, but anywhere along the tracks."
Wallace says using suppressants cuts emissions from the trains by at least 85 percent. Without suppressants, individual train cars can lose hundreds of pounds of coal in transit.

The blood sport of bullfighting continues in Mexico City, despite it having recently been abolished in regions of Spain. The barbaric tradition continues and more bulls are killed in Mexico City than anywhere else in the world.
Traumatic, painful attacks that cause prolonged suffering, life-threatening fear and stress are not only barbaric, but meets the criteria for animal abuse and cruelty in every civilized society.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa--It all comes down to one game for the Morningside Mustangs if they hope to advance to the national championship for the second straight season.
Standing in their path is No. 2 Grand View.
The Vikings are battle-tested, defeating Division 1 Drake in their season opener. Since then, Grand View has faced seven ranked teams and has won them all by an average score of 38-15.
But the Morningside senior class is determined to end their careers on a high note.
The Mustangs and Vikings kick off at 1 PM on Saturday in Des Moines.

Hits and misses of DIY projects, both big and small.
By Barb Camp
Tags: headboard bench, outdoor furniture, diy, Barb Camp, Second Chance To Dream
Reposted with permission from Second Chance to Dream.
We have nine garden beds in our yard. One of our goals this summer was to put a structural piece in each garden.
Two of the gardens already had pieces that we got last year. You can view these garden ideas on my website by visiting the simple DIY bench tutorial that we did for our new garden, and the pergola swing I got for my birthday/Mother's Day.
Our large, oak garden became our focus this summer. I thought it would be fun to try a headboard bench, and I really like the results. We now enjoy a simple, rustic bench that literally took 60 minutes to cut, build and paint.
You can make this garden bench, too. To build it, you'll need a twin-size headboard — I bought mine from Salvation Army for half off the original price of $11.25. Your materials list also includes two 2-by-4s and two 1-by-6 boards. We had all the wood on hand so we didn't have to buy anything. You can use scrap pieces if you plan to paint your rustic headboard bench as we did.
To make the seat for your DIY bench, measure the length of the headboard you're using, and make a simple 2-by-4 box. We cut two 34-1/2-inch pieces and three 16-inch pieces to make our box. Assemble the frame of your box with 2-inch deck screws, using the photo at left as a guideline.
Then, cut three 1-by-6 pieces measuring 34-1/2 inches long for the seat of your headboard bench. We cut one of these 1-by-6 pieces down to 4 inches wide so the seat wouldn't be too deep. Next, screw the 1-by-6 and 1-by-4 boards onto the top of the box you made in the previous step.
Recycling a headboard meant that our DIY bench would already have back legs, so we only needed to cut two legs for the front. We ripped a 2-by-4 in half to make the front legs of our bench, and trimmed the two pieces to be 19 inches in length. We then screwed the legs to corners on the underside of the box.
Next, you need to attach the headboard to your box. Add liquid nails to the headboard along the inside of the bottom rail, and carefully screw the headboard to the back of your box at this location. Be careful, because the liquid nails can slip when you're assembling the pieces.
The unpainted bench isn't so pretty. To improve its appearance, we first primed it with a coat of Kilz. After allowing it to dry, we spray-painted our headboard bench white.
It's nothing fancy, but this garden bench definitely meets our needs, and — for a cost of less than $10.00 — it works great!
Non-gardeners and gardeners are very, very different creatures.

When it comes to the personal computing market, Apple is considered the cream of the crop these days. But a new quarterly report from PC repair firm, RescueCom, shows that increasing numbers of Apple customers are having trouble with their beloved Macs. Lenovo has been crowned as the most reliable, while ASUS, despite losing market share, beat Apple to claim the No. 2 spot.
So says the first Computer Reliability Report of 2011, which covers Q1. RescueCom determines reliability by comparing the units shipped by a specific manufacturer versus the number of repair calls for that brand. Granted, the company admits that this methodology isn't perfect. It depends on the likelihood that a customer will not only seek out third-party support for PC repairs, but that it will seek out RescueCom for that support. Even still, RescueCom has been conducting this quarterly research since 2009. It now has enough data under its belt to show some trends about the reliability of components for each brand that it tracks. In its first ever annual report, for 2009, Apple claimed the top spot. And it's been downhill for Apple ever since, with the company landing in the No. 2 or No. 3 spot, always behind ASUS. Indeed, a fourth-place showing is the worst quarterly score that Apple has hit to date
Manufacturer | U.S. Computer Market Share (2)(Percentage of Share computers shipped) | RESCUECOM Computer Repair Shares (1) (Percentage of service calls to 1-800-RESCUE-PC) | Computer Reliability Score (1) |
HP/Compaq posted some pale numbers, too. "HP/Compaq was the runaway leader in number of PCs shipped even with losing 2.5% market share, but they are now struggling to stay in the top five," the report says.
Surprisingly, Samsung, which wasn't named as a Top 5 vendor at all, has been marked as a reliability up-and-comer. Samsung didn't land on the Top 5 due to its tiny market share. "Although grouped with the 'Other brands' category, Samsung is rapidly rising in market share. Looked at separately Samsung would place third, bumping out HP/Compaq. With over 260% gain in market share, Samsung is a brand to watch in the future," the report notes.
These findings echo a report produced earlier by PC World. PC World's Annual Reliability and Service Report for 2010, which published in December, also showed HP landing in the bottom of the rankings for home desktops. Dell, the second-largest seller of home PCs in the U.S., scored poor marks, too. While the PC World survey data is older, it is far larger, including a whopping 79,000 responses. Apple and Asus scored highest in that survey, too, though Lenovo landed in the middle of the pack.
Given the price difference between Asus and Apple, Asus users have to be happy indeed.
the sad thing is that the common people will never see these reports and will still buy an apple because its a name they know. NO one knows asus and they call it an off brand computer. I would almost blow up when people would tell me this when i sold computers. |
@LLeCompte don't you know apple products are the best thing in the world? They last forever, bump you up a level in society if you are seen with them(but only new apple products you are considered weak and undesirable with a last generation model), and make you breakfast in bed as a bonus!!!! Capital----> F apple........ I agree, I hate when people say that acer and asus are the "off" brand. When I told people I won a maingear they asked what brand it was, I died a little inside. Here is another thing I love.......when people come over, look at the monitor, and ask if my computer is a viewsonic. |
@Drake_McNasty That's beautiful, man! ;) |
@LLeCompte I know what you mean I have not had one ASUS product that was not good to me. @Drake Apple products are the greatest invention ever... Proprietary hardware and software rocks my socks. I know what you mean about the monitor brand... I sometimes ask someone to turn off their computer and then turn it back on and they do it in 2 seconds and I know they are shutting the monitor off and back on. How's the Maingear treating you :) |
Hurray! I have a Lenovo! @Drake Yeah, that whole viewsonic thing...thats why most people buy macs, because they dont know anything about computers they just want it to work. I was interesting reading about the malware issue that Apple had recently because the number of people calling in with problems increased by a factor of ten. It scares me a bit because i see things like that getting worse in the future, especially with Apples growing market share. Anyway, Lenovo, Asus, and Apple all make fantastic products. |
I like the ASUS brand. They deliver great quality time and time again. So I buy from them now. Lenovo used to be IBM brand and is still just as expensive as IBM was to buy. Yeah, great quality, but unaffordable to a lot of us. |
I think I would favor ASUS over Lenovo. Just like their general product design better overall, and pretty much everything they make rocks. Can't say that I know a terrible lot about Lenovo, though. |

Hot answers tagged raid
The Apple provided Disk Utility (and diskutil shell command) will allow you full RAID control over internal and external drives. You do have to erase the drives to add the RAID capability, but then you can join those drives into RAID. That is the only potential drawback to implementing RAID storage on the Mac.
Drive spanning, JBOD, striping and mirroring ...
The previous answer I gave here was wrong (as is bmike's answer).
The previous answer I gave was that if you have this as a problem, a workaround is to create an encrypted disk image that covers the entire AppleRaid set. This works, in theory, but is so horribly slow (like more than 10x as slow as the raw disk access) that it is basically unusable, which ...
Yes, RAID 0 is faster than using the drives independently of each other. Whether or not its noticeably faster depends on what kind of application you're looking at. Some setups benefit hugely from a RAID 0 setup, while for others, its pretty marginal.
There's also the convenience of everything being treated like one big drive.
I will however say that ...
Do you have the following files?
If so, copy both of them to your desktop, then:
Open those kexts and edit the Info.plist. Change all the 'External' references to 'Internal'
Copy the modified kexts back to '/System/Libraries/Extensions/' from your desktop.
In a RAID 0 set established by Disk Utility you, of course, have zero redundancy. The moment one of the drives is lost from the set the entire set becomes useless and you have a volume failure. If (and only if) no attempt was made by anything to write to the volume while the physical drive wasn't there you might be lucky and it will be OK but otherwise you ...
In the end I went with the most expensive but also the fastest option: #1 which was the Mercury Accelsior PCIe based SSD hardware RAID array (RAID 0 by default which I will keep) in a Mercury Helios Thunderbolt PCIe chassis. The main reason was because it was the only one that mentioned it was bootable (and made a big deal out of that fact).
I paid $799 ...
I was unable to find how to rebuild the RAID from disk utility after a couple of hours of research. However, I managed to do it from the command line.
sudo diskutil list // to get a list of disks. Note the disk number of your new disk (e.g. disk4)
sudo diskutil appleraid list // note the uuid of the raid in question
sudo diskutil appleraid add member disk4 ...
My guess would be that Apple prefers to have one drive handle only write processes as a backup and read/write from whichever one it considers the main drive. As to why this is, I have absolutely no clue. Seems kind of like a big oversight on their part. I've always kind of gotten the feeling that software RAID is pretty low on Apple's priority list.
Disk Utility will only support RAID 1 and 0 using software raid.
If you have the RAID Card for the Mac Pro, you can configure RAID 5. I've never actually used or configured one of these in the wild so I can't give you exact specifics on using it.
I think you should be fine. I upgraded to Lion on a Mac Pro that has a RAID 0. While the OS is installed to an SSD, not RAID, Lion still detected the RAID just fine. That's obviously a different scenario than what you have, but as the software RAID is handled at a higher level than the OS, I think you should be fine.
Obviously, have a backup ready to go ...
Both use the same data structure to create a volume within a volume.
One creates a wrapper and the data that is on the disk is scrambled / mapped through a cryptographic function so that the same data written to two different blocks ends up physically different on the drive. That's FileVault 2.
The other creates a wrapper and the data on the disk is either ...
For redundancy and performance Apple steers you towards RAID 10. I built a 4 disk array by doing a mirrored pair of striped disks which I then converted to a core storage volume to facilitate easier expansion later and FileVault.
I can watch data be written to both stripes with iostat but when I read, presumably this is abstracted by cs, as I see zero bytes ...
First let's clarify one thing: RAID is not the same as backup. Building a RAID array out of several (presumably USB) external drives would have many drawbacks. See this question I asked a while back for the explanation. I suspect what you really want is passive and seamless disk/data backup in which case OS X's built-in Time Machine works great. And if you ...
This can be done from the Disk Utility app or from the diskutil command line. Be warned that you should definitely make a backup before doing anything. I had an issue where the diskutil appleraid enable mirror disk1s2 command I ran wrapped the volume in a RAID set but the partition is now called Apple_RAID_Offline and no longer accessible. Ironically ...
You're thinking of RAID-1 in the wrong way. RAID-1 is not an architecture intended to happily use a single surviving drive within a raid-1 group, and work out mirroring content later. Ultimately it will do that, but that is considered a recovery operation from a failed state, and it will destructively overwrite the mirror drive after replacement. In RAID-1, ...
Firstly, RAID shouldn't include your backups. Something catastrophic hitting one, will hit the other. Eg. fire, burglary, etc.
Ideally, you want to keep one set off site. Using the 2 disks you can keep one at a friends, and sync the up periodically. There are tools that allow you to do this. Alternatively, something like BackBlaze, Amazon Glacier, will give ...
Yes - Apple's software RAID works so that once all the drives are present (or in the case of RAID mirroring - enough drives to ensure one copy of the data is present), you can then mount the RAID volume.
Unless you used a third party RAID driver in software or hardware, just getting the drives mounted should work.
They are correct, and depending on who you talk to it is also sometimes called RAID 10
And a Mirror of Stripes can often give you the speed advantages of a RAID 0 with the redundancy of a RAID 1. But RAID 5 and 10 (I believe) require 3rd party RAID software.
Easy, the Disk Utility program on OS X allows creation of software RAID.
Open Disk Utility from spotlight or /Applications/Utilities
Type "Create RAID" into the help menu search term
Go to the article and follow the steps for Create a mirrored RAID set
This does involve erasing all drives, so you'll want to be sure everything is backed up elsewhere ...
As the saying goes: "The difference between RAID 1 and RAID 0 is that the zero stands for how many files you're going to have after a hard disk failure."
Putting your 320 GB hard drive and your 120 GB SSD will allow you to share the space in between the two drives, but the risk in doing so is that you may have a failure at some point that makes your data ...
In general, Disk Utility forces you to erase a drive to turn on or off the RAID wrapper it places on the actual data.
If you set up a mirrored set (RAID 1) you still have access to the data and could just ignore the RAID wrapper since it allows you to add more drives as mirrors in the future, but doesn't force you to do so and you can keep using it as a ...
So you currently have Disk1 + Disk2 = RAID Set1(striped)
You want to know if you can RAID Set1 + Disk3 + Disk4 = RAID Set(striped). Disk Utility doesn't allows this.
You can however have Disk3 + Disk4 = RAID Set2(striped) and then use a symbolic link or mounting to move the set to a location that is convenient for you.
You would think that you could Disk1 ...
You can setup a RAID 1 mirror over FireWire and connect the internal/external drives. However, I wouldn't recommend it.
First, you'll need the same size drives to do the mirror. Second, the speed of both drives will be limited by the type of connection to the external drive, so if its USB, the computer will run at USB speeds. If you are just using this iMac ...
In this situation, I recommend using disk utility to partition the larger drive such that one partition matches the size of the smaller drive. Then setup the partitions of the same size as a RAID1. You will end up with a mirrored partition of 1.5TB and another un-mirrored partition of 0.5TB based on your first example.
Same thing will work for a 2TB + 3TB ...
A mirrored RAID would operate only as fast as the slowest drive in the setup. In this case, unless you are using thunderbolt I imagine the performance would be awful. Another reason not to do a mirror with an external drive (if Disk Utility would even let you) is it'd be too easy have the mirror fail for a number of reasons.
I would use Time Machine to ...
Well you already have a pretty optimal setup. Having the two disks in RAID-0 as your boot drive gives you the greatest possible performance. Just be sure to keep a good backup, since if either disk fails you lose the whole array. Superduper! is great since it makes a bootable backup for you, unlike Time Machine. I highly recommend it.
Otherwise you're good ...
Enabling a RAID is destructive to the existing data using disk utility and native OS X tools.
You will need to have a temporary copy of the data to re-load it onto the new RAID volume.
I know several people that always set up their externals to be in a RAID so they can always mirror up existing drives after the fact to duplicate, snapshot or extend/stripe ...

I didn't make it to the Friday panels because of schoolwork, but I was able to catch the talks on Saturday (November 20). The first panel was called "The Theoretical and Analytical Challenges of Identity Politics," with speakers Monique Deveaux, Cécile Laborde, and Beverley Baines; the second panel was entitled "'Managing' Religious and Ethnocultural Diversity: Looking Beyond Existing Models," and included Sirma Bilge, Sedef Arat-Koç, and François Rocher. Because many of the topics overlapped, I'll look at the main themes that arose, rather than at each speech individually.
One issue that came up on the first panel was the difference between formal equality (everyone being treated in exactly the same way) and substantive equality (a more equity-focused concept, in which it is recognized that identical treatment doesn't necessarily have egalitarian results.) The argument here is that, while Bill 94 claims to treat everyone equally by requiring all people to show their faces, the result will have disproportionately negative effects on women for whom showing their faces in certain situations is just not an option; Bill 94, in other words, represents formal equality but will result in substantive inequality.
Deveaux and Baines both referred to an article that Baines wrote about Bill 94 (available here), where she discusses the possibilities for constitutional challenges if Bill 94 passes (which everyone seems to expect will happen), and argues that while there's an obvious way to challenge the bill based on issues of religious freedom, it may also be possible to challenge it based on principles of sexual equality, since the Canadian Supreme Court has a history of prioritizing substantive equality over formal equality. At the same time, Baines cautioned that the Supreme Court has a much less impressive history of being able to consider intersecting forms of oppression, and that it's hard to say where a challenge to the bill would go.

I was wondering if there is a chart of some sort that lists out the amount of points needed for each level. I have looked on the site and haven't found anything. I realize the status bar tells users how many points needed for the next level, but I'm looking ahead to how many are needed for level 25, 50 and even 100.
Along the same lines, how many posts does each status label (Prospect, Walk-on, Benchwarmer, etc) require and how high up does it go...what's the "top goal?"
Anybody else interested in this or is it just me?

Getting vaccinations is the best way to prevent many diseases in the United States. However, that doesn't mean that these vaccinations come without any side effects. If you are thinking about getting a vaccination for hepatitis, there are some potential side effects and other information that you should know.
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver caused by a viral infection. It can be caused by an infection from one of the three forms of hepatitis: A, B or C. In addition, other factors can cause this type of swelling in the liver, including infection from a parasite or bacteria, liver damage from alcohol, immune cells attacking the liver or an overdose of acetaminophen. Hepatitis can have severe complications, including liver cancer, permanent liver damage or even liver failure.
Of the three forms of the hepatitis virus (A, B and C), vaccines are only available for A and B, at the moment. Although researchers are working on it, there are currently no vaccines available for the hepatitis C virus.
For both the hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines, an inactivated form of the virus is used. It is usually administered through an injection into the muscle of the upper arm, although toddlers may have the injection in their thigh muscles.
The hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines have proven to be very effective. With the hepatitis A vaccine, protection generally lasts for at least 14 to 20 years for children and at least 25 years for adults. About 9 out of 10 individuals who receive the hepatitis B vaccine develop protective antibodies, which cause them to become immune to the virus.
Each of the hepatitis vaccines comes with some possible side effects. For the hepatitis A vaccine, side effects may include:
The possible side effects for the hepatitis B vaccine include:
It's important to note that certain individuals are advised to not receive the hepatitis vaccine. If you have experienced a serious allergic reaction to a dose of either vaccine, you should not continue the vaccination process. In addition, those with hypersensitivity to yeast should not receive the hepatitis B vaccine. Neither vaccine should be administered to someone with a moderate or severe acute illness – in these cases, the vaccination should be postponed until the person's condition has improved.
Unless you fall into one of the categories of people who should not receive the vaccine, it is recommended that you get vaccinated for both hepatitis A and hepatitis B. The side effects are generally very mild, and in many cases those who receive the vaccination feel no side effects at all. The benefits far outweigh these side effects since protecting against hepatitis can help prevent severe damage to the liver and other serious health problems. Among the many organizations and entities which recommend the hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines are:
