The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) – It's never a good week to be a referee, but this week was especially bad for a crew in Tempe, AZ.
Wisconsin trailed Arizona State 32-30 with 20 seconds left and tried to set up a game-winning field goal. The quarterback got in the middle of the field, knelt down and set the ball on the ground. The referees blew their whistles immediately to stop the play.
After a pause, an Arizona State player fell on the ball, which delayed the next snap where Wisconsin was planning to spike the ball and bring out the field goal team. Time expired before they could get the snap off.
At best, it was an uncalled delay of game penalty that may have changed the outcome of the game. At worst, it was a complete failure to maintain control of the game in its most crucial moment.
This is also a good time to bring up the stupidity of the new rule that it takes three seconds to spike the ball. With that rule in place, the Badgers' fate was sealed before they were even allowed to attempt the snap. Had the flag been thrown, there would have been plenty of time to spike the ball and attempt the kick.
Wisconsin already had an uneasy relationship with the officials, and Saturday's game will further exacerbate that.
Here is the weekly list of what we learned from watching SEC games in Week 3.
1. Supreme evil is the best kind of evil. Fights among super villains are always better than other fights. Think of the last time you saw a fight between two true villains. It doesn't happen. I don't know if it's because they're rare or because they're hyped or because they really are fantastic, but fights among people who are intensely hated never disappoint. Case in point: Johnny Manziel vs. Nick Saban.
Imagine your dream matchup of movie villains. Darth Vader vs. General Zod. (Well, Darth Vader vs. anyone. Heck, Zod vs. anyone.) Chucky vs. Jason Voorhees. The Joker vs. Agent Smith from The Matrix. Megatron vs. T-1000. Gordon Gecko vs. Lex Luthor. Magneto vs. Freddy Krueger. Shooter McGavin vs. Anybody who ever shot John Wayne.
Those would all be classic fights, but none of them would live up to Manziel/Saban II.1 It was epic, and Alabama's 49-42 win lived up to every bit of hype it got. Considering all the air time, column inches and need for the "Johnny Cam" it generated, that was no small task.
There were 91 points scored, 62 first downs and 1,200 yards of offense, and it didn't feel like a race to 50 because Alabama at one point led by 21, dominated the middle two quarters and played ball control for much of the game. But Manziel has only been a villain for a few months while Saban has been one for more than a decade, and that experience as college football's evil overlord was too much to overcome.
2. Johnny Football has an alter ego named Johnny Turnover. Let's fire up the way-back machine and look at an anecdote from last season. Ah, our first glimpse of Johnny Turnover. Johnny Football made some good plays against Alabama, including a mind-blowing escape and desperation heave down field that should've failed four times, but was still successful. But he followed that up with an interception in the end zone.
He also threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown and made the kind of attempt at a tackle that defenders usually make while trying to tackle him. Add that to last year's failed PAT attempt and "Johnny Football" looks more like "Johnny Offense."
He's still great at it, though, and made plays with his feet when he had to and made some good throws down field when his receivers were open. Manziel threw for 464 yards and five touchdowns and rushed for 98 yards. All of those numbers are better than the ones he posted in last year's 29-24 win over the Crimson Tide. Manziel's 464 yards are a career-best, but the standout figure is two interceptions Saturday compared to no turnovers of any kind in 2012.
3. Nick Saban has an unholy deal with a higher power. I was just joking earlier, but Saban might actually be truly evil. Alabama did everything it could to lose, and still won.
The Tide fell behind by two touchdowns on the road against a juggernaut offense, allowed a 21-point lead to evaporate, got burned by the same pass five times, fumbled the ball away on the 1-yard line, gave up 628 yards of offense and had more than 100 yards in penalties, and won – AND WON!
How else can that be explained other than Nick Saban is cashing in on some sinister plot of world domination? (He's met with the president four times, so something is afoot.) What We Learned is determined to get to the bottom of this. Meanwhile, the question remains of just what exactly do you have to do to beat Alabama? What We Learned will try to get to the bottom of that, too. God, help us.
To be fair, AJ McCarron torched the Aggies' Big XII-caliber defense for 334 yards (also a career-best) and four touchdowns while T.J. Yeldon rushed for 149 yards, so that probably had something to do with it, too. It was fitting retribution for the Tide, who lost a classic SEC-style game last year at home and responded with a classic Big XII-style win in College Station. But suffice it to say Alabama never wants to win that way again.
4. Gus Malzahn really has returned Auburn to its former glory. I said this last week in somewhat sarcastic fashion, but now it's true. The Tigers' 24-20 win over Mississippi State should show Auburn fans that this team is like all the others they've cheered for in past years.
All but two games since 2007 between the two teams have been decided by a touchdown or less, including a 3-2 tilt in 2008. The two exceptions were last year's 28-10 win by the Bulldogs and 2009's 49-24 win by Auburn. Even with Cam Newton at quarterback, Auburn only beat the 'Dogs by three.
Auburn vs. Mississippi State has become one of the most reliably even matches of the season. Both teams gained more than 400 yards and were fairly even statistically. Auburn controlled the game early on, but was hampered by three turnovers. Mississippi State claimed the lead early in the third quarter, but the Tigers mounted an impressive drive late in the game and took the lead with 10 seconds left.
It's already clear Malzahn is a better coach than the departed Gene Chizik, whose success was due largely to Malzahn being his assistant for every season, except last year when the Tigers were winless in the SEC.
Malzahn will get an even bigger opportunity to work his magic next week against LSU, a team the Tigers have beaten only twice since 2004. It's another game that has a reputation of going down to the wire.
5. Ole Miss is dangerous. Texas is bad, let's just get that out of the way early. But Ole Miss is no longer easy-win Ole Miss. You need to actually prepare for this Ole Miss team.
Bo Wallace gets most of the credit for the Rebels' success – and he deserves it – but Jeff Scott has emerged as the Rebels' most dangerous weapon after their 44-23 win over the Longhorns. The dual-threat Wallace stood to be the beneficiary of the Longhorns' struggles ineptitude abject refusal to play defense,2 but it was Scott who turned in 164 yards rushing and a touchdown and added another touchdown on a 73-yard punt return.
The Rebels' own defense is pretty porous, which is nothing new, so that will hold them back, but you don't want to let them hang around late in games. This team might actually be good for a change.
6. LSU has that terrible early schedule thing going for it again. It isn't quite like last year when LSU played Towson – and fell behind – but the Tigers' early schedule is still fairly benign. Even the season-opening 37-27 win over TCU doesn't look as good after TCU lost to Texas Tech 20-10 this week.
UAB and Kent State aren't wins to brag about and LSU will be put to the test starting next week when it faces five consecutive SEC teams, three of which are ranked.
But don't fret, Tigers fans, there's still an opportunity for your team to fall behind an FCS doormat. LSU plays Furman on Oct. 26.
7. Vanderbilt won't be traveling for a bowl game. It's too early to say the Commodores won't make a bowl game, but a quick glance at their schedule shows that there isn't much room for error. Their Oct. 5 game against Missouri will be the first indication of their bowl status, with their last three games of the season against Kentucky, Tennessee and Wake Forest filling out that picture.
But Vanderbilt's 35-25 loss to South Carolina, coupled with an earlier 39-35 loss to Ole Miss, means the Commodores will have to pull off a fairly big upset to equal last season's 8-4 regular season mark. Even with that record, the Commodores still ended up in the Music City Bowl in their own back yard, and they appear on track for a repeat trip.
8. Tennessee's defense is, well, Tennessee's defense. I may have done a disservice to humanity by talking about the new Tennessee offense and how improved it was and how Tennessee might be on the road to some good things and then – BAM! – Oregon3 and – BAM! – 59-14 loss.
Sweet Tim Tebow, that's a disaster – and that was just Oregon's uniform. It's rare that Tennessee's orange gets out-uglied, but Oregon did it easily with its Fightin' Highlighter/face-of-the-sun/dear-God-what-have-you-done fashion misstatement. Wait, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, actual football.
The Volunteers surrendered nearly 700 yards of total offense and were forced to punt nine times, yet had almost 10 minutes more time of possession than the Ducks did because they were scoring so quickly. The Volunteers had a 7-0 lead at one point, though, so that's … something?
9. Mississippi State has badly regressed. Actually, Mississippi State and Ole Miss have switched places. Last season, the Bulldogs got off to a blinding 7-0 start then faltered late while the Rebels were back-and-forth all year until topping the 'Dogs to qualify for a bowl.
Ole Miss at 3-0 is in prime position for an eight- or nine-win season right now while Mississippi State at 1-2 is looking at games against Troy, Bowling Green, Kentucky and Arkansas as must-wins for bowl eligibility. Even then, the Bulldogs would need an upset over LSU, South Carolina, Texas A&M or Alabama to get a sixth win. If not, the Egg Bowl will be for a postseason berth.
That's a long way from where Mississippi State has been, and from what a lot of people expected from the Bulldogs this year. A concussion to quarterback Tyler Russell put Dak Prescott under center and turned Mississippi State in an option offense that was effective and could prove successful in the future.
Prescott threw for 213 yards and ran for 133 more with two touchdowns, but the Bulldogs also faced 15 third downs and only converted five.
10. Arkansas is getting its wins while it can. Remember where Arkansas was this time last year? The Razorbacks were 1-2 with an injured quarterback, had lost to Louisiana-Monroe in overtime and just gotten run out of their own stadium in a 52-0 loss to Alabama.
Now they're 3-0 and facing a winnable fourth game. The good news stops there, however, because following their game with Rutgers, the Razorbacks face a gauntlet you wouldn't wish on your bitterest rival.4 It's that brutal.
Arkansas hasn't played anyone of note yet, and what the Razorbacks will do against Rutgers is a total mystery, but following that game the schedule looks like death warmed over.
Arkansas will face Texas A&M, Florida, South Carolina and Alabama in consecutive weeks before an off week. The Razorbacks then play Auburn, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and LSU. (Florida, Alabama and LSU are all on the road, by the way.)
It could be ironic karma for the Razorbacks, after head coach (and former Wisconsin head coach) Bret Bielema's wife tweeted "#karma" following Wisconsin's loss described in the lead-in above. Twitter responded in predictable fashion, with one user hilariously retorting "remember that when you lose your next 6 games." He may be right.
Sadly, the crazy Hog Lady has not yet weighed in.
Extra points: 1OK, Vader vs. Zod would. Seriously, could you imagine that? Superhuman Kryptonian DNA vs. The Force? I'd pay what it costs to order an overrated Floyd Mayweather boxing match to see that. The people currently working on Batman vs. Superman need to ditch that and start working on this instead.
2Even by Big XII standards, Texas' defense is an atrocity. The Longhorns' orange isn't the only thing burnt in Austin, and yes I'm referring to Mack Brown's backside.
3Ducks fans followed up the drubbing of Tennessee by chanting "We want Bama!" Well, Ducks fans, you might get them, and you might also regret that. Of course, you might also lose to Stanford, UCLA and/or Southern Cal, so give it a rest for now. And, just for the record, the last time two times you played good SEC teams, you lost to both.
4Unless that rival is Johnny Manziel or Nick Saban, because the forces of evil must be vanquished at all costs. Huzzah!

Sexuality does not suddenly emerge at secondary schools. Primary school age students live in a social context where they are exposed to messages about sexuality on a daily basis in the media through television, music, and advertising and from their peers. Sex is often joked about and discussed in derogatory or stereotypical ways. The correct information about human sexuality, including the positive aspects, is often kept hidden from children.
Generally children who receive a comprehensive sexuality education from an
early age:
Sexuality education can be confronting and challenging for teachers and currently there is very little professional development in the area of health and sexuality education, particularly for primary teachers. Current programs in primary schools are often taken by outside agencies in one off blocks. This approach does not provide any continuity in teaching and goes against research that suggests classroom teachers are the best people to teach sexuality education. Research also indicates that secondary school teachers find this a difficult area to teach. Graduating teachers need to be equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to integrate sexuality education content, issues and activities in health education programs in line with VELS and student wellbeing policies and practice. Teachers need skills to provide effective teaching and learning activities, assess resources, deal with potentially sensitive issues with students and allay possible parental concerns. This unit is taught in intensive mode and includes the following content:
1. Micro-teaching presentation, 50%, 2000 words equivalent
2. Resource Development, 50%, 2000 words

five.Five is the number of times you worry he's stopped breathing, as the surgeons carve around his heart, twisting away the plaque ridden arteries, and pulling a vein out of his leg. Five is the number of heart wrenching hours you and your family were waiting in the hospital room, worried that your lives would crumble, that there would be five members of the family instead of six, that five days out of the week he would not come home for dinner, that five kisses from him would no longer be given to his wife and four children. Five was the amount of fingernails you bit off while watching people enter and exit the waiting room, and the amount of minutes your mother spent on the phone, explaining that something was wrong. Five is the critical difference between holding a father's hand as your mother cries into his heart shaped pillow. The difference between rejoicing and smiling weakly because he's okay or carrying your father's American-flag-covered-casket and watchin

I know that there were many different row crop tractors that came from the Farmall A and Cub, but you just do not often see them. I just ran across this auction, and it has some very nice pictures of an International 274 Offset. It's pretty interesting how the cultivators and front rockshaft, adjustable front axle, rear drop axles all seem so similar to that of the Cub/A, and I found it even more interesting to see that grill/bumper since I'm thinking of one of those for my Cub. It looks like the modern version of our favorite.

Super-Sonic™ amplifiers are the favorite tool of pro guitarists in many different musical genres who love to create glorious Fender® clean tones and expressive modern high-gain tones with one no-nonsense tube amp. The vintage channel is based on two legendary Fender favorites, and the awesome burn channel ignites musical inspiration with overdrive flavors ranging from bluesy to flame-throwing. The Super-Sonic 60 delivers increased bass response and fatter tone, and its heavily saturated tube overdrive and sustain can be fine-tuned without masking the tonal character of your guitar. And by popular demand, the new Super-Sonic 60 models are available in two classic cosmetic treatments - Black/Silver and 1961-style Blonde/Oxblood, both with ivory "radio" knobs and flowing 1960s script logo.

I've been using an old 72 Marshall 50 watter for the past 25 years and although I love the amp, I got tired of clutter on the floor as far as foot pedals or pedal boards. Usually, my set up consisted of and never without a Multivox Tape echo, which was last in line before the head. On the floor, I used 3 distortion pedals. The main pedal was the older Nobels distortion with mid, bass and treble controls. Then a tube screamer and an old DOD 555 distortion. The tube screamer and 555 never had full gain, that was for the Nobels pedal which sounded totally AWESOME into the 1987 head or my old Traynor YBA1-A head (think 38 Special). The Marshall was different then others, it had a darker sound and I loved that about that head, I hate the newer bright in your face sound of the newer Marshalls. Everything head wise went into a 1960A Marshall cabinet which I reloaded with Warehouse guitar speakers, one side was the Vintage and the other was the Classic series. The best part was, I got these when they just started the co, or actually before they started it when they first did a buyout of speakers from another co. I paid 20 for a Vintage which I stuck in my Reinhardt 18 combo...whew!! Talk about an up grade!! I was so impressed that I bought one for another combo and then the other 4 mentioned for my Marshall 4x cabinet. Same ohmages as the Celestion 75's. It made the cabinet heavier but it had a much beefier and sustainable sound. Half the time I used only two 12's for better sustain.
When I got tired of all the floor stuff, I bought an Egnater Renegade 65 which I thought was way to bright. It had great features with the assignable effects loop and all that but much too bright for me. That went up for sale and a guy from Jersey called me about it and wanted to trade for the Supersonic 60 head, I'm in Reading PA, I heard the amp and did the trade. Since then I bought the 22 combo for my blues band set up. I "LOVE" this combo!!!! My DOD Echo's in the loop, OFF the floor!

This is the most flexible amp I've ever played. A multi-amps guitar rig is a very expensive setup. For example, a Fender Vibrolux, a Fender Bassman and a Marshall JCM 800, more the equipment of Palmer or Radial multi-selector and sharing pedalboard between amps can reach thousands of dollars. The Fender Super Sonic 60 Head gave me this setup from an economical, light and lean way, providing two vintage voices with Passive EQ, the blackface tone of Vibrolux, the tweed tone of Bassman and a third modern voice that you can sculpt through an Active EQ and two stackable stages of gain where I use with help of pedals to get a Marshall JCM 800 tone and all these voices are under the control of my feet on my pedalboard.
One of the biggest advantages of version Head to define your tone is the opportunity to use different speaker cabinets that the Jensen P10R 10" AlNiCo speakers that comes with the vintage combo amps. You choose the speakers you want and I prefer cabinets with 2 speakers of 12" ceramic Celestion Vintage 30 @ 4 Ohms. I strongly suggest the Vibro King VK212B Extension Enclosure Speaker Cabinet. The width of cabinet is exactly the same width of amplifier, like a Marshall half stack.
Other feature only found in modern and expensive amplifiers from great brands are FX Loops with level control of sending and returning of signal chain. This can be used to avoid clipping of overdrived signal, to compensate for signal loss on long pedalboards or to serve as a clean booster if bypassed with a short cable.
However not all are flowers:
Considering it is a medium-wattage amp, with only 2 x 6L6GC tubes and 60 watts, this amp gets hot enough to fry eggs. Excessive heat is worrisome because the tracks of PCB - Integrated Circuit Board can crack easily in a short time of use, causing leakage of electrolytic capacitors and the burn of tubes and transformers, parts more expensive from amp.
In the Vintage channel, when you change the voice Vibrolux to the voice Bassman, the volume increases significantly and that's a rookie mistake disconcerting when we play live. I have to flatten the volume pedal every time I change the channel or voice.
There is no plausible reason to justify the withdrawal of Tube Spring Reverb of Head version than not the reduction of cost of production when the Combo version already possessed it by default. However, the retail price has not been substantially reduced. This was a design choice of product engineering regrettable. Tube Spring Reverb is one of the most striking and appreciable features of the brand Fender. Besides do lack, depreciate the value added of the product to the end consumer.

Want to Dip a Toe in the Online Banking Water? Try PayPal First
Online banking is easy, but some people are intimidated by the thought. An easy way to get started is to sign up for a PayPal account. You can open an account with 25 dollars and start learning how the online payment and fund receipt process works without a lot of risk. PayPal lets you transfer money to companies or individuals, and receive funds in return. (For example, if you buy or sell an item on eBay, chances are the transaction will go through PayPal.)
Then, when you get comfortable, think about signing up for mobile banking with your bank or other financial institution. It's easy and can save a lot of time, too.

Waterford – A senior reactor operator at the Millstone Power Station tested positive for alcohol near the beginning of his shift Tuesday evening and was immediately suspended.
Ken Holt, spokesman for Millstone owner Dominion, said the operator, who was not named, was given a breathalyzer and urine test after his supervisor noticed unusual behavior. The man was not working in a control room or near the reactor at the time, Holt said. The operator had been assigned to the Unit 3 nuclear power plant, which has been shut down since Saturday for routine refueling, and was working in the outage support center this morning.
Millstone workers are tested for illegal drugs and alcohol at random and when warranted by behavior, Holt said. Workers are subjected to disciplinary action up to firing if tests show any traces of illegal drugs or alcohol.
"Dominion's policy is zero," he said. "If there is any detected, you fail the test."
Holt said the incident has been reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

IH Carb
The cub I just purchased needed a carb rebuild (according to the previous owner) as it wouldn't idle. He hadn't tackled that sub-project before his heart attack slowed him down.
No problem, sez I, I'll read up on the IH carb and git-r-done. So I read every thing I could find on the subject - most of it located on this site and very comprehensive. When I pulled it apart, the first thing I noticed was the broken & missing idle tube. Aha! Very Common. But what puzzled me was the lack of a main jet... I mean it wasn't there... no hole in the bowl for one, either. Temporarily skipping that, I stripped everything down and after an overnight solvent bath and two hours in the heated ultrasonic tank I noticed a faint impression of where the main jet SHOULD have passed through the outer wall of the bowl. As it turns out, someone, years ago, had broken off the main jet at the end of the threads. Noticing that fuel would leak from the outside hole in the bowl, they plugged it by hammering in what appears to be lead fishing sinkers and dressing the outside flush! However, it did work and it didn't leak, so I guess I can't argue with the utility of the repair. LOL! After drilling out the main jet and re-tapping I resurfaced the area where the main jet gasket contacts the outside of the bowl.
Also noticed the upper housing was warped from overtightening. Having seen references to several plates online here I made my own. It works very well.
Flipped the plate upside down and used it as a jig to hold the upper housing square while I drilled out the broken idle tube.
Now we wait until my rebuild kit arrives from Steiner...

Re: IH Carb
Is the main jet broken off inside? It goes through the housing, where you found the lead patch, and threads in further inside. I doubt it would have run, without that end. (the actual jet portion) Ed

Re: IH Carb
Because you did all that reading I am sure you noticed that the idle tube is a somewhat uncommon 4- 48 thread.
It looks like a nice clean job you did. When I saw your tools and the can of cutting oil I expected it to be so.

Re: IH Carb
I'd like a jig too. Please put me down on the list
Re: IH Carb
That's true. What I was trying to describe is that at first glance, there was no main jet, or place for one - when in actuality, it had broken off inside right at the end of the threads. This left the threaded portion (and orifice) stuck inside.
Re: IH Carb
Thanks, I did note that while researching. Thought I had that one, but ended up ordering a set after I discovered the ones I had were 6-48, not 4-48.
Re: IH Carb
Thanks, Rudi! I worked off a simple sketch. Will clean it up and develop an AutoCad version for the site - that's the least I can do for everything I've learned from you guys.
Re: IH Carb
I love it when a guy says "git-r-done," then whips out a Bridgeport, a can of Tap Magic, and Autocad
My idea of git-r-done is an oxy-acetylene torch, a 2lb cross-pein hammer and a roll of duct tape

Post subject: What do you backup?
I just started organising the backups on my external HDD, and I realised that I only need to backup photos and documents.
Most music I can re-rip from CDs, programs I can re-download, videos I only watch once.
I started with a 720GB backup, and realised that I only really need 15GB. (and I can probably trim that)
I take a 120GB offsite backup disk of my photos and docs everywhere with me in the boot of my car. (paranoid or what!) But I realised how little I really needed.

Video files, music, documents folder. I run rsync once in a while to update my backups I've never been one to take photo's or the like, so I don't really have anything that would be a disaster to lose. Would be a pain in the arse, but that's it.
I used to backup /home, but it was a bit of a waste. When I reinstall a distro I like to start from a clean install.

Well, got /home down to 122Gb.
That still includes 4 VMs, several isos and a load of unwatched videos (including the whole of B5)
How did I accumulate so much junk!

For ease I regularly rsync my /home to an external ext3 partitioned hard disk. I backup all the hidden files and folders as well as music, docs, videos, etc etc. Luckily I have never needed to restore a complete backup so far, as I have a separate /home partition, but I have occasionally had to get single files or folders that have gone awol, usually because I've done something utterly stupid, of course.

Are all synched with my sync server and then most of these are synched to my other machines. It takes up about 200G on the server. I suppose if I ever get around to encoding all my CD collection, that will grow by quite a bit.
Other stuff is replaceable or ephemeral and distros are easy enough to reinstall - Documents contains a folder called Archive that has recent tarballs of /etc in it.

I actually don't really do much when it comes to back up.
All the small stuff is on dropbox, which I have also set up on a little home server to I have a local copy with me if something goes south. I'm currently using 20% of 3.5 GB, this is important docs and current project work.
Photos are a different story, 67GB of photos.
rsync between ext drive, nas box, and a web hosting site, quite sweet!
App and videos can be downloaded again.
That's me.

Things that can be replaced, like CD and DVD rips, are stored on separate filesystems, so automatically excluded from the backup process.

Maybe we need another poll.
How sure are you that your backups work?
I have upgraded all of my PCs from Ubuntu11.04 to 11.10.
2 netbooks, 3 desktops, 1 laptop.
All upgrades in place, and no problems.
I always leave my Mythbuntu box until last. Lulled into a false sense of security, I didn't do a full backup, all the data is on a separate drive, so I just manually backed up my Zoneminder and MythTV databases, and /etc.
Disaster! after the update, X wouldn't start, in fact I was lucky if I got a command line after a reboot.
Some sort of driver issue, but after messing with xorg.conf, I still had no x screen, and even the CLI wasn't a given.
So I thought "about time for a refresh anyway" this PC has been upgraded every 6 months or so since Mythbuntu first went on it, 8.10 or 9.04.
reinstalled 11.04.
restored zoneminder database backup.
tried to restore MythTV database "unknown object in backup file"
It was around then that I found that all of the recent automated backups were 0 bytes in size.
After some frantic Googling, found that this error can be caused by the restore routine barfing over a large (40M+) file.
split 57M backup into 2 files, restored each- breathe sigh of relief.

The reason I am sure that my backups have worked is that they have only failed once (in 30 years if you count CP/M and DOS) as a result of a faulty CD and, because I use the child/parent/grandparent system, I was able to retrieve everything bar a handful of emails; I have done only a couple of full restores from backups but I have often retrieved a file from a backup when I had accidentally overwritten it and I have had no problems with that.
Since the CD problem I simulate a number of retrieves immediately after backing up to check that the disk is not faulty.
Also every time I install a new distro I have to restore my mysql data to /var and that has not failed so far!

I have all my uni work on ubuntu one which also helpfully syncs my work between my computers.
That is about the extent of my backups
Got all my dvds on a raid 1 nas (ok, not a real backup) but don't back up mythbuntu. Also most of my codes are on my svn
For certain you have to be lost to find the places that can't be found. Elseways, everyone would know where it was

Getting better
Almost 2 weeks since my Complete Left Hip Replacement, and am doing fine. It still hurts to sit in a hard chair, so my computer time has been limited. I miss chatting with others in the chat room the most.
My physical TERRORIST (Therapist) is great, tough but very thorough. I am a few days to a week from ditching the walker, and going with a cane. Almost all the soreness is gone, just bone pain and that is getting less each day.
I am just a couple days shy (Wednesday the 12th) from being 2 weeks post op.
I just thought I would drop a note and say 'Hey, to all my friends.

Re: Getting better
Yup Ricky, this is #2 for me. My Dr did the other one 10 yrs ago come March. The first was Ceramic Cup and Ball. I was 41 yrs old and 390LB so they put the best available in me due to age and size. 'Spose to withstand 17000 lb of pressure and never wear out.
This one is ceramic ball and space age polymer. 90% better than the old plastic, and infused with vitamin D. By going with the 1 piece plastic cup, he could give me a larger base, thus a larger ball, compared to a metal base with ceramic cup insert.
I am 10 years older and over 100lb lighter, so he is confident in the outcome.

Re: Getting better
Glad to hear it Dale. I believe those physical therapists are part medical practitioners, part magicians. When my dad broke his arm and lost a finger in '10 I really had doubts he would ever be able to use his arm & hand much again. He did what the PT said, and his recovery was remarkable. He said it hurt but he could see his progress and I think that helped. Today he's short a finger, and has to be a little bit careful what he does with that arm, but he is able to use it about like he wants to.

Interleague Play draws 100 millionth fan
Indians supporter at Progressive Field 'totally surprised'
CLEVELAND -- Randy Loomis thought the only giveaway he'd receive when he walked through Gate A at Progressive Field on Saturday afternoon was a Shin-Soo Choo bobblehead doll.
"The milestone of our 100 millionth fan demonstrates the great support that the fans of Major League Baseball have for Interleague Play," Commissioner Bud Selig said. "Major League Baseball has set its attendance record in four of the last five years, and Interleague Play has been a key to that success."And with Loomis and his family and friends on hand for Saturday's game, it appears the Interleague action is headed for some big attendance numbers again. After all, Randy brought 15 people with him, including his wife, Beth, and his son, Josh. They all piled into a van and made the 60-mile trek from Ashtabula, Ohio. "We do this twice a year, and this just happened to be the game we picked," Loomis said. "We just have a good time at the ballpark. It's a good time for all of us. And we all love the Indians." As big as Saturday's group was, Loomis will now get to round up an even greater gathering when him and 99 of his closest buddies come to a game later this season. "That will be 100 happy people!" he said. "We're going to have to buy more vans!" Lots of vans for lots of fans. The real trouble will be deciding who to take to the Midsummer Classic. Loomis' family members were already trying to stake their claim to one of the seats. "I hope he picks me to go," Josh said. "I better start sucking up." Perhaps no one in the Loomis traveling party had a stronger claim to the prize than Randy's 5-year-old grandson, Caleb. They were, after all, here to celebrate Caleb's birthday, and he was riding his grandfather's shoulders as he passed through the turnstile. "He must be my good-luck charm!" Loomis said. Interleague Play has charmed many fans over the years. One hundred million and counting.

BMW Clearance Parts
Back to all categories
BMW Clearance Parts
BMW started the company based on their commitment to quality and innovative designs, ever since their first day in the auto industry. Their dependability speaks for itself and transitions into their products, even their clearance parts and components. Steady vehicle maintenance on your BMW will not only keep it running great over time, but will also help you see issues prior to getting worse. This will save you time and money in the long run, but locating what is the issue is can be tricky, especially if do not know what you are looking for. Oil is a fluid that has to be examined and changed often. This should happen every 3,000 miles or every three months, whatever comes first. Power steering fluid should also be examined within this time frame and replaced if it is old. You will know if you need to change the transmission fluid if your BMW is not shifting as smooth as it use to. Look to your BMW owner's manual if you are not sure. If you have questions about BMW's clearance parts or components, the FCP Euro team and website are here for any support.
BMW Clearance Parts Online
Every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, you should have your BMW's tires rotated to acclimate for the recurrent wear and tear on the different parts of your tires. Every month, you should also check your tire pressure to make sure they are moving correctly. Inspect for leaks or small holes that may be slowly letting air escape, which could ultimately lead to a flat or blowout. Every six months, examine your spare tire to make sure it is functional in case of a flat tire. Brake fluids should be tested every three months and brake pads should be tested twice a year. Depending on how much you drive your BMW, brake issues may need to be addressed sporadically in your maintenance cycle. If you hear any scrubbing, grinding or other abnormal sounds when pushing on the brakes, this needs to be looked at immediately. The more you drive with worn out brake pads or low levels of brake fluid, the worse your brakes will get and the more expensive the repair will be. If your timing belt becomes faulty, you may be looking at an extremely expensive repair. This is why it is vital to have it looked at at least every 10,000 miles. It may not need to be replaced at this time, but examining it may save you from having to repair other parts of your BMW if the timing belt goes out. Look to your BMW owner's manual for information for when the timing belt should be replaced. FCP Euro's reasonable and gifted call center staff is here and able to answer any questions you have or support you may need. If you are unsure about which clearance part or component is obligatory for your BMW, FCP has a generous line up for the BMW brand. Check out the FCP Euro website for all parts, as well as our updated inventory. If you have questions, would like to put in a phone order, or just have feedback, do not waver in giving FCP Euro a call at 877-634-0063 to connect with our service friendly team.

Sustainable Retailing Today: 2012 Green Retailing Report
For today's retailer, sustainable retailing means encompassing supplier management, brand management, the customer experience — and the bottom line.
Sustainability is an overarching concept that is changing the way business is done. In fact, sustainability is touching all aspects of business including packing, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution. Until recently, however, sustainable retailing had been restricted to environmental issues and planet stewardship. While environmental impact and planet stewardship are important issues, the lifeblood of retail is profit. The hurdle for many retailers is finding buy-in for something that may give you a warm feeling but may not move the needle as it relates to sales and marketing. However, a growing number of retailers are seeing the opportunities for increased profits and cash flows via sustainable retailing. Today, sustainable retailing goes beyond green packaging and carbon footprint reduction, encompassing supplier management, brand management, and even customer experience. Today's green retail movement must also move the bottom line.
Tech Spending 2013: Mobile Makes Its Mark
From assortment planning to returns management and all points between, mobile devices are fast becoming the retailer's indispensable multi-tool.
Yes, mobile computing is a recurring theme in findings from this year's retail tech spending report. This, however, is not another report about mobility. Rather, it's a report on the technologies and operations solutions in which retailers will invest in 2013, with some retrospective commentary on the 2012 events that are driving these investment decisions. It just so happens that for the first time since we began our annual tech spending preview in 2009, mobile devices and mobile application access are playing a profound and cross-disciplinary role in how retail technology and solution budgets are being shaped. We'll highlight that role as we explore the findings of our annual retail technology spending survey here.
WFM: The Dynamic Bread And Butter Of Holistic HCM
This is part three of our four-part series exploring how retail organizations can embrace HCM technology and HCM best-practices to become more strategic. The benefits of doing so are many: Organizations reduce their high turnover rates, improve the employee experience and add efficiencies to the human resource department's workflow directly into daily operations in the store and across the organization, freeing staff to focus on higher-level activities and to be more proactive in their work.

Are Retailers Ready for Demand Pricing?
Can you imagine having a business that changes prices every day or even every hour? Actually, we do it now. By pcAmerica
Empowering The Store Associate, Tablet PCs Enhance The Customer Experience, Guest Series Part 3
As consumers become more empowered throught the endless availability of information, retailers must identify new ways to keep customers engaged. In many cases there is more data available than ever before, but if it isn't readily accessible, and up-to-date, then its value cannot be fully realized. You can still catch up with Part 1 and Part 2. By Mary Anne Gunn, director of corporate marketing, Motion Computing
Merchandise Fulfillment Advice That Works
Merchandise fulfillment is a hot topic and one of the keys for retailers looking to have a strong omnichannel initiative. In this podcast, we'll discuss how asset tracking and fleet management help ensure proper fulfillment, the latest technologies that can help retailers leverage and manage their fleets, how increased visibility into tracking enables retailers to gain efficiencies and keep the right products available to customers across all channels, and — finally — getting employee buy-in without looking like Big Brother.
What Oracle Can Teach Retailers About Any-Channel Fulfillment
In our Supply Chain Execution 2014 report, "Making Any-Channel Fulfillment Profitable," RSR analyst Nikki Baird asserts that a fundamental problem with today's retail supply chain is that it's still decidedly a store-based model. We speak with Mike Johnson, Solution Director, Supply Chain for Oracle, about his take on this stance.

In the Matter of Preserving the Open Internet Comments of the Writers Guild of America, East, AFL-CIO
January 5, 2010
The Writers Guild of America, East, AFL-CIO, supports the proposed codification of the six principles described in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking adopted October 22, 2009. We think it is critical that the extraordinary potential of the Internet not be stifled by corporate conglomerates that restrict access for their own commercial gain.
The WGAE represents people who write, edit, produce, and create graphics for television, film, radio, and digital media. Our members write television drama, comedy, news, and public interest programs; they write movies for major studios and for independents; they create original content for web television, for mobile applications, and for other digital platforms. Our members know firsthand how an open Internet permits them to create more innovative, informative content and to distribute it directly to the public.
While we support all six principles, the first (forbidding providers from blocking users' access to lawful content of their choice) and fifth (requiring providers to treat lawful content, applications, and services in a nondiscriminatory manner) most directly address the interest of creators in maintaining meaningful access to the public.
The Internet and other digital media offer an unprecedented opportunity for creators to reach consumers and for people to watch and read what they want, when they want. This is very different from traditional media in which major studios, distributors, and television networks control the flow of movies and programs. We believe people would benefit from an Internet that offers a greater variety of options than what is currently available on television, radio, and the movie theater. Digital technology presents a vast range of possibilities to content creators and consumers alike, and it would be a tragedy to squeeze all of that into a narrow commercial band. Unless the Commission codifies the six principles, a relatively small number of major institutions might also come to control access to content on the Internet – big studios, network providers, or application and service providers.
The importance of the nondiscrimination principle is highlighted by the proposed merger of NBC Universal into Comcast. One of the central purposes of the merger is to give Comcast better access to and control over the production of content. At the same time, Comcast will continue to expand its digital distribution business. Comcast will have a powerful incentive to use pricing to favor its own content1.
This is not the only type of discrimination that threatens a robust, diverse Internet. As a practical matter, major entities can easily outbid independent creators of digital content for preferred access to audiences. This would be addressed by the Commission's understanding of the term "nondiscriminatory" to preclude service access providers from charging for enhanced or prioritized access. Otherwise it is almost certain that most of the content consumers view will be produced by a relative handful of major entities – just as it is now in television and film. The enormous creative potential of a distribution system without megagatekeepers will be squandered.
Of course, it is possible that the biggest, bestfunded content producers (e.g., major studios) will attract the most viewers because of superior content. Nothing in the Internet principles would impede this. Instead, the fourth principle endorses competition of this nature. The Commission should however, preclude providers from interposing their own limitations on what people can watch and read, or post. It is simply inappropriate to stifle the flow of content – whether for ideological or commercial reasons.
We recognize that some people believe an open Internet encourages digital piracy. The WGAE strongly opposes piracy; our members lose when their work is unlawfully copied and distributed. However, we do not think permitting major commercial entities to control the flow of data and to restrict access to certain programming is an appropriate or effective method of controlling piracy. Everyone opposes car theft but no one proposes that we restrict access to the highways. Fighting piracy is an important task for law enforcement agencies. It is not grounds for restricting content creators' access to the Internet.
1 For this reason we urge the Commission not to adopt a definition of "managed or specialized services" which ignores the very real possibility that many or most consumers will get their Internet access and their "television",and perhaps telephone, services from a single provider.

NEW YORK -- The players' association filed a grievance Monday to overturn the 15-day suspension given to Royals outfielder Jose Guillen for violating baseball's drug program.
Guillen and Baltimore's Jay Gibbons were suspended last Thursday by commissioner Bud Selig following media reports that they received human growth hormone after January 2005, when it was banned by baseball. Gibbons chose not to contest his penalty.
Arbitrator Shyam Das will decide whether Selig's suspension of Guillen was proper. The penalty is to be served at the start of next season.
"It's been agreed that the matter needs to be resolved prior to opening day," said Michael Weiner, the union's general counsel.
Guillen has not been charged by the government with a crime, and he is not known to have failed a drug test.
His could be the first of several grievances that will go before Das and could become a precedent for players disciplined for performance-enhancing drugs absent a positive test or a conviction for possession.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported last month that Guillen bought nearly $20,000 worth of steroids and human growth hormone from 2003-05. Major League Baseball began testing for steroids in 2003, and penalties for first offenses in cases involving performance-enhancing drugs began in 2005.
On the day he was suspended, Guillen finalized a three-year, $36 million contract with the Royals. The 31-year-old batted .290 with 23 homers, 99 RBIs and 28 doubles for the Seattle Mariners this season.
