Moreover, long checkout lines aren't exactly busy-day friendly. Instead, think ahead and turn the night prior's leftovers into an enticing brown-bag lunch that is low-fuss to assemble, travels well, and will keep you full and satisfied for the remainder of the day. Keep reading for five ways to transform tonight's dinner into tomorrow's lunch. Source: Shutterstock Start Start With: Steak With Miso Mustard Butter Sauce What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're lucky enough to have leftover miso-glazed steak (or any steak, for that matter), slice it into 1/2-inch-thick slices across the grain and pack it up for the next day's lunch. 1 / 10 Brown-Bag Transformation: Bento Box Salad What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Skip the tofu, but prep the rest of the ingredients for a lunch-friendly bento salad the night before or morning of. Pack up the dressed salad and steak, and at lunchtime reheat the steak and add it to the salad. 2 / 10 Start With: Cooked Quinoa What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If your dinner includes a simple quinoa side, reserve a portion for the next day's lunch. To cook quinoa, bring 2 cups water, 1 cup rinsed quinoa, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan. Cover, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is translucent and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Immediately fluff the quinoa with a fork and serve. Source: Shutterstock 3 / 10 Brown-Bag Transformation: Quinoa Salad What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Toss leftover red or white quinoa with a tangy shallot vinaigrette, sliced cherries, parsley, feta, and slivered almonds for a hearty quinoa salad that will keep hunger at bay for hours. 4 / 10 Start With: Roast Chicken What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Chances are, unless you're cooking for a crowd, a juicy roast chicken comes with ample leftovers. Eat the white meat and shred any leftover dark meat to reserve for the next day's lunch, tossing it to taste with hot sauce. 6 / 10 Brown-Bag Transformation: Spicy Tacos What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pack four small corn tortillas, about 2/3 of a cup of the hot-sauce-laced chicken, 1/4 cup guacamole, 1/4 cup pico de gallo, and a hefty pinch of cheese. At lunch time, reheat the tortillas and chicken in the microwave, and assemble the aforementioned components into two tacos. 6 / 10 Start With: Green Salad What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If a green salad is on your dinner plate, save a portion of undressed vegetables and salad dressing for the next day. 7 / 10 Brown-Bag Transformation: Add a Poached Egg Poach an egg — watch the video to learn how — and pack it in a thermos filled with cool water. Tote along the salad, dressing, and poached egg to work; at lunchtime, toss the salad with dressing, reheat the poached egg and add it to the greens for a more substantial lunch. 8 / 10 Start With: Tacos What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Whether your tacos are meat-based or vegetarian-friendly, save a portion of all of the taco toppings for the next day. 9 / 10 Brown-Bag Transformation: Taco Salad What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pair the taco toppings with a Mexican-inspired vinaigrette (whisk together lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper), salad greens, and crushed tortilla chips (if you have them on hand) for a fully loaded taco salad. 11 / 10 1 14 13 1 0 Back to Homepage Read More Meal PlanningCooking BasicsFast And EasyRecipesLunchBack To School Cooking Basics How to Make Croutons, in Pictures 19 hours ago Waste Not: How to Salvage the Woody Ends of Asparagus 1 day ago Waste Not! 7 Hacks to Use Every Last Scrap of Food 3 days ago 21 Wine Terms to Master 3 days ago Cut a Mango — The Right Way 5 days ago How to Fill a Pastry Bag Without Making a Huge Mess 5 days ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

For more information on the deployment of Odyssey, go to the JIBB and click on AOC and then IT.
Peter Croteau comes to the court system from the executive branch Office of Information Technology where he was director of the agency software division. In that job Peter supervised 180 computer programmers and system analysts who provide software services to the 15 largest executive branch agencies. Prior to that Peter worked as the director of information technology at the Departments of Safety and Revenue Administration developing software to cover a wide range of areas such as motor vehicle licensing and registration, criminal justice record keeping and revenue collections. Trained as a computer programmer, Peter has worked for the state for 26 years.
Completion of the Odyssey rollout is Peter's top priority now. He is also reviewing the business processes used at the IT Support Desk to see if any changes can be made to help the very busy support desk personnel improve the service they are able to provide to court staff. One step, for example, might be to prioritize the calls that come into the support desk rather that taking them on a first-come first-served basis.
"It's not just a matter of not having enough people to answer the phone," Peter said during a brief interview in his office. "We may be able to provide better service just by making a few changes in the way we do our jobs," he said.
For the future, once Odyssey is fully in place at all court sites, Peter said it is clear that the New Hampshire court system needs to start implementing e-filing and e-notices procedures. "That's the whole name of the game that everybody else is doing around the country," Peter said.
Peter takes over the top IT job from Tom Edwards who announced last year his plans to retire in December. Until then, Tom will continue to oversee Odyssey deployment.
When he's not involved in IT, Peter collects Civil War memorabilia, plays the guitar and harmonica and has managed an investment club for 18 years. He also admits to being a die-hard New York Giants fan, which he attributes to the time he spent in the 1970s, in his hometown of Stark, NH, watching the Giants on television with his Dad.

Like father, like son … The Art Museum of Southeast Texas (AMSET) presents Randy and Bryan Welborn: Moments to Remember, the artwork of father/son duo Randy and Bryan Welborn, in Café Arts June 2 through Aug. 7. This exhibition features 15 paintings from the Welborn's nostalgic painting series Moments to Remember. Randy, a native Southeast Texan who now resides in Kountze, captures life growing up in Beaumont during the 1950s.
Star-studded show … Many of the Stars of the Arc Celebrity Style Show participants were glowing as they made their way down the runway while proud parents, friends and guests encouraged them with rounds of applause. The highlight of evening was the presentation of six prestigious awards by emcees Kelli and Bob Phillips. Recipients of these awards wereBecky Ames, Coffy Pieternelle, Sara Leonard, Matthew Bloodsworth, Kirksey's Sprint Printing and Cindy Bloodsworth.
A force of nature … The American Red Cross will host its annual Hurricane Party with a slightly different twist this year — a luncheon instead of a dinner honoring the inimitableSallye Keith. Arriving at the Beaumont Country Club at 10:30 a.m., guests will mix and mingle with the honoree and enjoy the roving magician, who will perform feats of magic for the crowd. Tariff for this worthwhile fundraiser is $100, and the dress is business casual. The event is a great way to honor someone who has been super supportive of the American Red Cross.
Beaumont/Port Arthur
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Opinion: Now that the screens are dark at Cedar Lane
Conor Byrne is a filmmaker living in New York City. See his work at brudderfilms.com.
SO GOES the standard pattern of the high school suburban male: Get a driver's license, get a car, get a girlfriend. Sometime during all that, when I was 16 or 17, I started exploring the corners of Bergen County, always careful not to leave the holy bubble of home, but eager to see the world beyond my bedroom.
I drove around a lot. Tank after tank after tank of gas.
Cedar Lane Cinemas was only a short ride from my house on Adams Avenue in River Edge. Over the highway, through Hackensack and a left before that old carwash. Fifteen minutes, tops. However, to me, a budding film nerd, it really felt like a trip in some miraculous phantom time machine.
There stood a relic of a movie house with an authentic old-fashioned marquee, sticky-from-generations-of-Coca-Cola carpet, and even a before-the-show organist upstairs. Certainly the perfect place to rub knees with a nervous ladyfriend on a Friday night. And the tickets were only four bucks.
'Pretty sweet'
In my world of back yards, basements and garages, Cedar Lane Cinemas was – as I probably would have put it then – "pretty sweet."
Meanwhile, back in the safety of my living room, I was becoming increasingly obsessed with motion pictures, and was stumbling my way through film history one DVD at a time. After a couple too many viewings of "Rushmore," "Boogie Nights" and "Being John Malkovich," I dug up Hitchcock, Scorsese, Fellini, Kubrick, Capra. At Cedar Lane, I got my first taste of independent and foreign cinema on the big screen. I saw alternative and second-run movies on 35mm prints, all preceded by that wonderfully mucked-up reel of "Let's All Go To The Lobby."
I found Todd Haynes, Richard Linklater, Woody Allen, Michael Haneke, and many more.
There was the awkward first date screening of "Half Nelson." And a legendary necking session during "Once." And that glossy-eyed gigglefest that was "The Foot First Way." My fellow theatergoers were usually of the 60-plus crowd; I was more often than not the youngest audience member by a few decades. These older folks made impeccable viewing partners, though; they were stoic, attentive and punctual. I sometimes saw friends' grandparents.

old news; Stephen-West-worthy
If you're on Ravelry, then you've seen these pictures already. This is my Paris sweater, a very mindless knit that used up my scraps of some sockweight yarn and proved to me that I am ready for my very own Enchanted Mesa. I am picking out some special skeins for that.
This sweater was started with what now is my "back side", Noro Kureyon Sock. I started adding some brown garter stripes in a discontinued Schoppel-Wolle yarn here and there. Then I realized that I had nowhere enough of Noro to finish this, thus, I mirrored the whole thing for the front, reversing the colours. When I was done, I saw that I still need some length and Noro yarn was gone, so I took in some red Wollmeise for garter stripes and the same brown Schoppel-Wolle for the stockinette area. Once the needed length was achieved, I cast off.
This is the most fun knit that I LOVE wearing. And I've converted two knitters who thought Paris was not flattering to knitting this pattern as well. Right now, this is the most me-knit that I own. Brown? Tick. Red? Tick! Not off the rack? Tick!
My lesson from this is: I will knit either knit customfit or Stephen-West-crazy garments.

yet another week
This year is seriously flying by. This morning we woke up to this...
That is good news to me. The past weeks have felt like snow was near. It was chilly and all autumn I planned knitting camp out wrist warmers for my toddler but never came round to it. It was too late for wrist warmers, we seriously needed mittens. Finally, last week I knit these in an evening. The pattern is very recommendable, it's spot on for my two-year old.
I used Schoppel-Wolle Gradient leftovers, and I still have more than enough. Maybe I will make a few more. Toddlers loose things, right?
Speaking of Gradient, I recently visited Schoppel-Wolle factory shop in Wallhausen and got two other skeins that were meant to become something (maybe Christmas presents). And I just knit two cowls according to the same pattern.
One in blue...
And one in black, which is still drying...
The blue skein had two knots in it, which was very disappointing. I could not use some of the yarn as the joint was becoming too obvious.
I used 4mm needles for both cowls instead of 5mms, which makes for a denser yet also a shorter cowl. This goes very fast, so if you are looking for some Xmas knitting, this might be a pattern for you.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

working towards the better
There is something that I have been working on for a long long time now. It is hard to pinpoint the inspiration part - there have been so much. The knitting, the sewing and crafting blogs. The wish to be a better employer. The wish to make clothing better.
I still have much work to do on the site and the pictures of products will be uploaded soon, but to my blog readers, who have known me for a long while and who have most likely also inspired this, I am offering a discount till December 12th. Just enter "blogfriend13" and you will get 25% discount of the purchase price.
Please come and find my winter collection here.

FO: Esjan in fall colours
A must-knit. This shawl is big, warm, has interesting details and went fast. What more can a knitter ask? It is really a very clever construction.
This was a first Stephen West pattern for me. You may think of him whatever you like, but he is one of the most creative knitting designers out there. His pictures led me to think he was a creatively chaotic type. Or maybe chaotically creative? His patterns are surely not boring. His patterns clearly stir up the knitting world on Ravelry. Just check out the comments on his latest designs.
As the quality of knitwear patterns varies greatly, it was a relief to see Stephen's clearly and meticulously written instructions. He's a professional and no wannabe. And in support of him I'm purchasing definitely one pattern out of The Amazing Sweater Trio.
For now I am cozying up in this. Don't be jealous, just get out your yarn and knit! :)

season's colours on the needles
As if there weren't enough projects on my needles, I decided it was time to cast on for Esjan shawl by Stephen West this week. My version will be much more colourful than Mr. West's (which we all know is hardly ever possible) and very fall-inspired.
I feel in a rut with all my three cardigans, so this is a welcoming change to be able to knit on 8 mm needles with worsted weight yarn. I might have an FO to show soon.

what those swatches are good for
The ends will have to be woven in. And strangely enough, I want to start swatching more so that all dolls can be tucked in like this.

on blankets again
This time I blame Martina Behm (for that, what's to come and for the fact that I just discovered her website and spent a good half hour reading through past posts).
Photo © Martina Behm |
From the description of her new pattern, Angles:
Recently I read about how making your bed in the morning and putting on a
pretty bedspread can make a real difference for your day: Minutes after
getting up you have already done something to turn your home into a
more pleasant place. What used to be chaotic is now neat, a true joy to
look at and lifts your spirit! That sounded great to me, but I did not
have a bedspread that I liked. So – of course! – I knit one. In soft and
squishy, beautiful and simple garter stitch. Also modularly, so there
is no sewing involved, but totally reversible (even the joining lines
look good from both sides) and with a geometrically intriguing design:
Each triangle is knit in a different direction, but each one features a
right angle (hence the name).
I do not need any further convincing that a knitted blanket is a good idea, do you? Now, I do have to add that I have been looking for that right blanket idea for a while now.
First I thought, I will use my worsted weight leftovers (and yarn that needs to be re-purposed) to knit a Garter Stitch blanket by Stephen West:
I need a blanket that can act both as a bed-throw and a thing to cuddle in for our family. Garter Stitch blanket is tempting as it'd knit up fast, but wouldn't it be too heavy? After all, it's worsted weight doubled.
Probably one of the most stylish blanket designs that are out there is the Kex blanket. Again by the oh so talented Mr. West.
I would have enough yarn for two of the needed colours, but the rest would be a patchwork. Stephen encourages in his pattern description to use leftovers "for an even more colorful blanket", but I fear that would mess up the beauty of this pattern. This means, I'd need to buy more yarn.
Or maybe I should go with some plain colourblocking and knit a simple baby blanket (only enlarged)?
Then again, I remember how much I like the airiness of Zig and Zag Pram Baby blanket that I knit for my daugher. I could do a family version of this. It'd take a year, but it'd be worth it for sure.
Though perhaps, just because life is short and my knitting queue is not, I should go for something new? Like this Breezy Baby Blanket?
And now after admitting that I have enough fingering weight yarn to knit a spread for a double bed, I will go and hide in my stash, embarrassed.
I do not need any further convincing that a knitted blanket is a good idea, do you? Now, I do have to add that I have been looking for that right blanket idea for a while now.

a knit that didn't make it to a proper FO
My Liesl was knit in just five days. Malabrigo Yarn Rios is so squishy and this sunset colourway made it hard to put it down. The pattern is very clearly written and it was a first Ysolda pattern for me. However, the fact that this "FO" was in this pre-blocked state for over a year (since July 2012!) made the decision to frog easy.
Why did this pattern not work for me? To start with, this is a fitted knit in a worsted weight yarn. That screams unflattering for hourglass figures like me. In addition to that, the short sleeves hit my arms at their widest point making them seem even larger. This could have easily been modified had I for once bought enough yarn. We all know I never do.
But most of all, I was knitting a piece for a younger version of myself. This could have been a perfect cardi for me maybe ten years ago. My style and my figure have changed. Somehow my knitting mind hasn't caught up with these changes yet.
On the bright side, I have two hanks of most wonderful wool to play with anew.

This might sound crazy but I have enrolled for a 20 km raceon 6/30 as a newbie.
This is all about my experience:
- no previous running experince.- started running in 2012 April until August. But did not continue after that. - restarted again this year for about 5-6 weeks now. recently i have been doing only long runs, every week 2-3 times. - Recent practice runs: 6/9 9.5 km 1:04, 6/14 15 km 1:44, 6/16 12.3 km 1:26.
My race is 20 km, time limit 2:30. My goal is to finish the race in time. I am slow but not concerned about pace, just want to finish the race.
From practice run, I can see, I am quite okay until 10km. Start to feel my legs tired at about 12 km mark. But I can go upto 15 km. Did not feel I could go another 5 km after 15km.
So I am concerned if I can finish 20 km in the race. Also the pracitce runs are better conditions: night time and beside sea. But the race will be morning and beside lake.
Any suggestion will be very helpful. I have another 2 weeks before the race (6/30). So I could do another 4-5 practice runs before that.

The Danger of Water Intoxication
Photo by sharper65/flickr.
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Unfortunately I have seen this happen my pitt bull roxy was only 3 years old when she passed from water intoxication. We could not keep her out of the water she loved it so much and we lost her because of it. She acted like a drunk person and passed away as soon as we got her home...she was my best friend and it was hard burrying her so saying it rarely happens is hard to say because I personally have had it happen to my pet and wish I would have known before hand because I could have saved her with the pedialyte I had in my bag. YOUR DOG COULD DIE FROM THIS! I know because my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel did. She loved playing with the hose when I would wash my car and would throw the hose in the air in order to catch the sparkling water as it fell. You wouldn't think she could ingest too much water but she did. We both thought this looked like a fun game until she drank so much that within an hour following our play, she literally fell over and went into shock. After five hours of desperate care by my vet and his staff, she finally passed but it was the most horrific death to a loving pet I had experienced in my 62 years of having furry family members. Don't take this lightly! Pets can die from over ingesting water. Pages

Frequently Asked Questions
Ask APW-
The Volkswagen Jetta keeps on stalling during idle. Does this indicate an issue with its oxygen sensor?Answer: Engine trouble during idling cannot be directly attributed to having a faulty oxygen sensor. Although it may also cause rough engine idling and frequent misfires as well as activate the check engine light, these symptoms are not mainly due to faulty sensors and may also indicate malfunction in other engine components as well. The main symptoms shown by a problematic sensor are poor fuel economy and increase in emission levels. Running diagnostics will help isolate the problematic part; this is a way of checking if there is an issue with the oxygen sensor.
What is the difference between the upstream and downstream Volkswagen Jetta oxygen sensors?Answer: Although the two types of sensors work together and have the same function (the vehicle's computer uses the data from these sensors to ensure proper air-fuel mixture), they differ in location and data source. Upstream oxygen sensor is located before the catalytic converter while the downstream sensor is placed after the catcon. Upstream sensors measure the pollutant levels coming from the engine and the amount of unburned fuel in the combustion chambers. On the other hand, downstream sensors measure the pollutants coming through the converter and out of the tailpipe.
Which diagnostic trouble codes indicate a problem with the Volkswagen Jetta oxygen sensor?Answer: There are numerous engine codes that refer to oxygen sensor problems. P0130 and P0150 codes are set when voltage from the oxygen sensor is out of range. P0139 and P053 refer to slow response of oxygen sensor circuit. P0140 and P0154 indicate absence of activity within the oxygen sensor, while P0141 and P0155 indicates malfunction of the oxygen sensor's heating circuit. Other codes may mean the same thing; they may only vary depending on the location of the problematic part (locations can be identified using the bank and sensor numbers.)

And your 2009 Tewaaraton Trophy winners are....
Sean Burns - 5/29/2009
After months, nee YEARS of speculation, we've finally got it - the official announcement of this spring's Tewaaraton Award winners for both men's and women's lacrosse. One is from a dominant NCAA championship team that was No. 1 going into the NCAA tournament and survive a huge scare to keep the title. The other was a do-everything player who called Central New York his home for the last four years.
Give up? Your 2009 Tewaaraton Award winners are Cornell's Max Seibald and Northwestern's Hannah Nielsen. Both were seniors and both led their teams to the final game of the season - with Nielsen and the Wildcats taking NCAA title No. 5 (in a row) and Seibald and Cornell falling in heartbreaking fashion to Syracuse after making their first NCAA final since 1988.
Audio Interview with men's winner Max Seibald
Audio Interview with women's winner Hannah Nielsen
Here's a little more about your two big winners.
Max Seibald
Cornell, Sr., Midfield
Resume: Enners and MacLaughlin Award winner as USILA Player and Midfielder of Year. Four-time All-American and All-Ivy League. Lowe's Senior CLASS Award winner.
Seibald is having a 'Titanic'-like Award season, taking home practically all of the hardware that he possibly could have - Outstanding Player and Midfielder from the USILA; first-team All-American, etc. - after a storied career that blossomed from the minute he set foot in Ithaca from Hewlett High School on the Island.
This spring, Seibald had 28 goals and 10 assists, adding 46 GBs and a pair of game-winning goals for good measure. He also served as Cornell's captain and was as noted for his off-field leadership of the Big Red as he was for his game-changing abilities. On his career, Seibald totaled 91 goals and 50 assists, scooping 157 groundballs and helping carry the Big Red back to the forefront of the Ivy League under head coach Jeff Tambroni.
While tallying less points than other finalists Zack Greer, Ned Crotty and Danny Glading (but more than Matt Abbott), Seibald's support presumably came from his status as being both a preternaturally talented leader for his team as well as his all-around game, highlighted by his physicality in the midfield and scoring touch from up top.
Seibald is the second player in the last three seasons to win the award without having won a NCAA title the season he won it, joining Duke's Matt Danowski in having fallen in the finals but taking home the award. The only other player in the history of the award to win without winning the NCAA Championship (and the only to win without making it to the finals) was the first winner - Hofstra's Doug Shanahan in 2001.
Men's Tewaaraton Trophy Winners
2001 - Doug Shanahan, Hofstra
2002 - Mike Powell, Syracuse
2003 - Chris Rotelli, Virginia

2006 - Matt Ward, Virginia

Northwestern, Sr., Midfield
Resume: Honda Sports Award finalist, NCAA career assists leader (224); NCAA single-season assists record (83); ALC Player of the Year.
Yet another Tewaaraton goes to the shores of Lake Michigan (along with yet another NCAA Championship) as Nielsen joins former teammate Kristen Kjellman as the only two-time winners of the top honor in lacrosse.
Nielsen became the most prolific feeder in the history of the game this spring, setting both the NCAA single-season assists record with 83 (breaking her own previous mark of 69) and topping Australian National Team pal Jen Adams' career mark, finishing with 224 helpers in four years. She also set a school record with 10 assists in a game this spring.
Able to both find teammates and finish the play herself, Neilsen dropped 59 goals as well, making teams have to work extra-hard to slow down the deadliy Northwestern offense.

Knock sensor code
I keep getting knock sensor code on my 96 chevy k1500 ive replaced knock sensor and cant keep the code from comming back any clue what i can do to fix....
01-12-2010, 09:59 AM #2When does the code set? If it sets the instant you turn the key on you have an electrical problem. If it sets during operation it just means the sensor is working and it sets a code anything it hears a knock. Some things that will set a knock sensor code are:
Pinging from poor fuel, Vacuum leak causing a lean condition and knocking
Also fan belt, tensioner, pulleys, lifters, exhaust leaks, and even a boom box can all cause a knock sensor code.Jim

BRU—Backup & Restore Utility
In many ways, I am a "typical" user. Backing up is a pain. Necessary, but still a pain. I'm also used to getting burned by bad tapes and utilities that just don't seem to be very robust (such as tar, or a few other commercial items that will remain unnamed).
I saw the ad for BRU on page 39 of the January `95 Linux Journal. I had seen it in other magazines, and heard it once highly recommended by a former business associate. With this as a background, and having a spare $97, I decided it was worth a try. Besides, they offer a 60 day risk-free guarantee. I faxed them an order, not realizing how soon I was going to need BRU.
Ted Cook called me the next day (my fax went out late in the evening). He asked what my kernel version was, if I was running Slackware and had pkgtool, if I wanted the pkgtool version or the tar version, and what disk size I needed. I opted for the pkgtool version on 3-1/2" disks. BRU, along with a nifty mug (which you can keep even if you decide not to keep BRU) arrived 2 days later.
The package comes on a single 1.44MB floppy with a nicely done spiral-bound manual, plus an addendum sheet outlining the install process for Linux. Installation using pkgtool is quick and painless.
Once installed, you must edit /etc/brutab to define your backup devices to BRU. The file is well commented, and the process is outlined in detail in the manual. I did this, defining my Tandberg 3600 drive. There is also a file /etc/bruxpat that contains patterns of files to be excluded from backups, such as /tmp/*, /proc/*, etc., as well as what files should not be compressed if you are using BRU's built in compression, such as .Z or .gz files. The use of this file is optional.
Here in /etc/brutab I found what I consider to be a flaw with the way BRU is shipped. There is an entry for OVERWRITE PROTECT, which is turned on, but it relies on the value of RECYCLEDAYS, which is set to zero, effectively disabling the protection afforded. As I will relate, this turned into a painful "gotcha" for me. Having plenty of tapes and a fairly regular backup schedule, I set RECYCLEDAYS to 7. There are many other options that can be set in /etc/brutab, most of which can be left alone, or omitted for default values.
I suppose the best way to test a backup product is to backup a system, and then wipe it clean. This is not what I intended to do, but it is effectively what I ended up doing. I ran a backup using BRU the day I received it. Three days later, I ran another backup, went to work, and came home to a failed hard drive. Ugh! Thanks to a good friend, I was able to get a loaner drive the same evening. I booted with my Slackware disks (1.1.2—old, I know, but that's what I'm running...), partitioned and formatted the new drive, and installed only the required packages from the A disk set. I then installed BRU, edited /etc/brutab to define my tape drive, loaded up my tape, and started the restore—or so I thought. What actually happened is that my fingers got dyslexic on me, and instead of telling BRU to extract from the tape, I told it to backup to the tape... This is where the default setting of RECYCLEDAYS=0 got me. Had it been anything else, or had I remembered to change it back to 7, I would not have overwritten my latest backup tape. (This should no longer be an issue, since EST, Inc. has changed the installation script to update these variables automatically during the installation, as it automatically creates /etc/brutab according to the installer's preferences.)
After thoroughly cussing myself out, kicking the wall, and muttering into thin air for a while, I changed
RECYCLEDAYS to 7, write protected the first tape I had made three days prior, and did the restore. Once complete, I did a reboot, and the system came up perfectly.
I then decided to test BRU's claims of reliability. Sitting back in the corner I have this tape with BAD written all over it. It first failed during a server backup at work (a whole different story about commercial software that doesn't work), so I brought it home, where it worked for a while. Very soon, this tape started always giving me errors. It would almost always appear to write properly, but would fail very shortly into any read operation with media I/O errors. I popped this tape into the drive and changed to /usr/bin and did a backup (BRU stores absolute pathnames only if you explicitly tell it to, otherwise stores everything relative to ./).
BRU complained.
BRU complained again during the "AUTOSCAN" pass.
I created a junk directory, changed to there, and did a restore.
BRU complained.
BRU warned me about my junk media.
BRU restored every single file on the tape.
I don't recommend using bad media for backups, but BRU did prove to me that it really does have the "GUTS" it talks about in the advertisements.
Since then, I've installed an Exabyte 8200 8mm tape drive, and do almost all of my backups there. With "out of the box" tuning as far as buffers go, I get about 240Kbs throughput writing to the tape. The AUTOSCAN feature is very nice, because it will warn you about media errors before you put your tape on the shelf thinking your data is secure. BRU also includes scripts for doing full and incremental (with up to 9 levels) backups. There are no menus—everything is driven from the command line. Hey—I'm not running Windoze here... My backup regime now consists of
cd /;bru -cvvvXf /dev/rmt1
Twenty minutes or so later, I come back and check, confident that AUTOSCAN will warn me of any problems encountered.
BRU has many, many options, most of which I have not even begun to look at. I like it. It's reliable. It fills a definite need. If you'd like more information, call Ted Cook at Enhanced Software Technologies, Inc., (800) 998-8649 or (602) 820-0042. Tell him I sent you.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Orientation Week at Einstein was a flurry of activity as the Class of 2016 and entering Ph.D. students were welcomed to campus.
Events ranged from the introductory welcomes by leadership of the respective medical and graduate programs to a variety of fun activities, including an evening boat cruise along the Hudson River taking in views of the Manhattan skyline, two movie nights, an Einstein club "meet & greet" and BBQ, and a book sale to support the College of Medicine's student-run ECHO Clinic.
"Our objective is to acclimate students to their new home here at Einstein while offering them various avenues for connecting with each other, along with the opportunity to check out the Bronx and Manhattan," said Joan Junger, director of student activities, where staff organized and oversaw all of the week's events.
She added, "When classes begin, it's time to buckle down. So, the week offers some levity before getting down to studying."

Investors are asking utilities questions about environmental and social risks. Answers can be a challenge.
When the tech-stock bubble burst in 2001, investors were outraged to learn that many stock analysts were being paid to over-hype stocks. The following year, Enron's ugly public death revealed the presence of a virulent infection in governance of many large and respected companies. Then, in 2003, just as the Sarbanes-Oxley serum appeared to have purged most of the sickness, reports of improprieties spewed forth from the mutual fund industry. And less than halfway into 2004, questions about oil and gas companies' characterizations of "proven" reserves have started to emerge.
Needless to say, investors are sick and tired of shysters and scandals, and they're not going to take it anymore.
In this context, a letter sent recently to Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman William Donaldson bears consideration. The letter, signed by the state treasurers of Connecticut, California, Oregon, Maine, New Mexico, and Vermont, calls upon the SEC to require that publicly traded companies disclose the effects of climate change on their businesses. The group estimates that climate-change costs could total as much as 15 percent of the market capitalization of some companies.
"Our investment portfolios were hurt by irresponsible corporate governance," said Denise Nappier, treasurer of the state of Connecticut, speaking at a press conference. "We've seen some positive moves from the SEC as pertains to Sarbanes-Oxley, and in new stock-exchange rules, but much more needs to be done. Climate risk should be part of routine analysis disclosed to shareholders."
The SEC letter indicates the pressure that is building to encourage companies to report their environmental risk exposure.
"Investors are very interested in knowing what pollution control will cost going forward," says Ed Tirello, managing director and senior power strategist with Berenson & Co. in New York. "This is becoming a key issue, and if Democrats win the White House it will become a major factor for the next four years."
Sustainable Profits
In the post-Sarbanes-Oxley world, investor demands are moving beyond environmental issues. Investors are increasingly aware of social and cultural factors that can affect a company's long-term financial health-cumulatively termed "sustainability."
While sustainability reporting stems from green roots, its effects transcend ideological or philosophical boundaries. In the wake of corporate-governance scandals and stock meltdowns, more investors are reading-and scrutinizing-companies' financial reports. Accordingly, their expectations are rising.
"Investors are demanding this information from big, publicly traded companies," says Alyson Slater, an associate director with the Global Reporting Institute (GRI) in Amsterdam. "That's where the hottest demand is today, and where companies feel the most pressure to report this information."
Indeed, nearly one-third of the companies in the Fortune 500 are now issuing sustainability reports using GRI guidelines. U.S. utilities, however, have been relatively slow to adopt such practices, with only about 10 U.S.-based investor-owned utilities issuing standardized sustainability reports of one kind or another ().
"Compared to other industries, utilities are not leading, but they definitely are progressing," says Urs Schön, a sustainability analyst with Zurich, Switzerland-based SAM Research, which developed and

Camelback Mountain's Echo Canyon is almost ready to reopen. It's been closed for months for renovations.
Improvements to Echo Canyon's trail and parking area will give hikers easier access to the trail.
Guests will now have more parking, better restrooms, and a better entrance to Echo Canyon trail.
The improvements cost about $3 million.
UPDATE: The opening of the trail has been delayed. The City of Phoenix says some shipments of construction supplies are late, and a new Ramada and restrooms won't be done until the end of the year.
Reopening was set for Saturday, November 30, but now it's been pushed back.
The city says it will announce a new reopening date when they're closer to finishing the upgrades and renovations.

ESPNsoccernet: Transfers |
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is adamant Robin van Persie will stay at the club - and will snub Juventus to do so.
The Dutch forward's future is up in the air somewhat, with his current contract at Emirates Stadium set to expire next summer and negotiations over an extension progressing at a slow rate.
Serie A champions Juventus have been strongly linked with a move for the 28-year-old, but Wenger is adamant Van Persie will not be making the switch to Turin.
"He will stay at Arsenal," Wenger told Italian newspaper La Repubblica. "There is no reason why a top player, a big champion would want a move to Serie A - in terms of the prestige of the league, the level of play or financial considerations."
Emphasising his confidence, Wenger added: "If he moves there, I will buy you a caramello [Italian ice cream]."
Juventus are not the only side to have been linked with Van Persie, however, with Premier League champions Manchester City having also made overtures towards the former Feyenoord player.
Barcelona and Real Madrid have also been credited with an interest.
Arsenal are looking to make their own transfer moves this summer - and are believed to be close to the signing of Montpellier and France forward Olivier Giroud as they look to strengthen their options in attack.
