SAN on the cheap
Posted on 18 Jan 2006 at 14:37
Simon Brock and Ian Wrigley use off-the-peg open-source software to build a basic implementation of a SAN using iSCSI
The Storage Area Network, or SAN, is one of those topics on which a lot of people make a lot of noise, but very few really know what it is and why they might want one. One of the main reasons for this is that once you sit down and look at the cost of what you need to build a SAN, things start to look really expensive. So we're going to take a look at what a SAN is, why you'd want one and, of course, how Open Source can help you build one on the cheap.
Depending on your IT background, a SAN is either a great new idea or a great old idea, but let's skip the history lesson and pretend SAN is new. In a conventional PC, everything is installed in one box: the processor, the memory and the disk drives. As you add more disk drives, it gets harder to fit them into the same box, so they end up being pushed out into an external box. This box of disks may have some abilities of its own; for example, it may implement some form of resilience based on striping, mirroring (or both) via some form of RAID controller. What becomes important is how this box of disks is attached to the box containing the processor onboard.
SCSI is one technology for doing this, and it works well over short distances but has problems with long cables. Fibre Channel was invented to remedy this: put simply, it's a way of sending SCSI commands over optic fibre rather than electrical cable. Fibre Channel lets you to do some other neat things too, such as switching - similar to Ethernet switching - to get many PCs talking to the same box of disks, or a single PC talking to many boxes of disks. Moreover, these machines can have alternate paths to get to their data on the boxes of disks. That, basically, is a SAN: a collection of machines connected to boxes of disks via a fibre-optic network. It runs very quickly because of the fibre - when first introduced, Fibre Channel ran at 1Gb/sec and it will soon be available at 10Gb/sec.
At first glance, it may not be obvious why a SAN is such a good idea. If you have a lot of data, and need it accessed in a lot of different places (with the possibility for redundancy), a SAN topology may be a way to do this. It also lets you invest your storage budget centrally rather than distributing it around a lot of machines.
However, some manufacturers recently figured out that 1Gb/sec could be provided more cheaply than via an expensive fibre infrastructure - a 1000BaseT Ethernet runs at 1Gb/sec over cheap copper cable. But to make a SAN work over 1000BaseT, they had to find a way of sending SCSI commands over Ethernet. Enter iSCSI, which is all about sending SCSI commands in IP packets. What this means is that if you have a machine and box of disks that support iSCSI, you can build a SAN over your existing Ethernet. That lets you use all the neat features that Ethernet and IP provide for sorting out routes and alternate paths, without worrying about how a Fibre Channel switch would do it. The iSCSI SAN was born and is now supported by a large number of manufacturers. In the rest of this article, we're going to show you how to put together a reliable and resilient iSCSI SAN, based (for the most part) on open-source software.
Initiators and targets
Before going on, we need to know a bit of iSCSI terminology. Under iSCSI, there are two parties: the initiator (the machine that wants the data) and the target (the machine providing the data). In a fibre-based SAN, the initiator is a computer and the target is a RAID array, but in our example we're going to build an iSCSI target out of two PCs in an active-passive pair. The idea will be that one machine will act as target and handle iSCSI requests from the initiators, then mirror its disks to another machine that will act as a hot standby. If the active machine fails, the standby machine will take over to provide the iSCSI service, and when the failed machine returns it will resynchronise with the standby machine and then take back the service. This is ambitious stuff, and as we write this article we don't know if it's going to work; it should, but we'll see.

"The National Football League has agreed to pay $765 million to settle a lawsuit brought by more than 4,500 players and their families, largely closing the legal front in the league's battle against accusations that it concealed what it knew about the dangers of repeated hits to the head." NY times reports.
So, the concussion suit has been settled and you all know I love the game, but people's safety and well-being are more important to me, so I'm glad that it's ben settled. Like the NY times said, the league has nearly $10 billion in annual revenue 'and faced the possibility of billions of dollars in liability payments and a discovery phase that could have proved damaging if the case had moved forward.' So settling was in their best interest and I'd say that it was pretty low considering.
"The terms of the agreement is that the settlement is not to be regarded as an admission of guilt by the league."

I kind of spent todays evening on watching Monsters University and Monsters Inc instead of reading for my exam in two weeks. Oh well. Uni was pretty damn good, I was a bit afraid it would be terrible.
Damn I still remember watching Inc at my local cinema with my dad, such a good childhood memory.
I laughed too much when this monster showed up and I don't even drink coffee.

This history of the football rivalry between Texas and Texas A&M that I compiled for Texas Monthly turned out better than I had imagined. It's remarkable that when the teams began playing each other, Grover Cleveland was in the White House (for the second time) and Coca-Cola began selling in bottles.
Jeff Beckham's history of the Texas/A&M rivalry for Texas Monthly is fairly incredible. You get a quarter of the way through it before you get to the point at which the United States entered World War I.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My daughter is part of the DHH program. Had I wrote this review in 2012 I would have rated this much lower. Since hiring an actual teacher and not using a substitute, my daughter grown in leaps and bounds. She likes going to school and enjoys learning with her teacher. The office staff is very friendly and they actually remember you. We have an awesome bus driver as well that cares about the safety of my child. I do not know much about the normal classrooms though so I can not comment.
Colson Elementary is such a student caring and loving environment. My son attends that school and I can honestly say that I am very pleased overall. when I drop him off I do not worry because he is in safe and more than capable hands. All his teachers really cared about my son and his well being. They always wants whats best for the students and keep them active. I enjoyed going on many field trips and even learning a think or two myself :). Also volunteering is so much fun! I Highly Recommend Colson Elementary to every and all students. My friend's son is hearing impaired and I see that teachers cared for him and others as if they were their very own. This school is Heart felt. Also it's very clean and opened spaced. I've been to other schools that are drab and reminds we of a jail, no offense. Colson is well Organized with Excellent Leadership. The Principal is always well involved with the students as well as the Parents. She is so down to Earth. I was tickled when she kissed a lil piglet for a fundraiser when enough money was made:). Don't only take my Word for it to All who will be reading this for years to come, Trust God and He will show you this is the palce to be. R Joseph
Colson Elementary School has been a wonderful learning experience. The grounds are tidy, teachers are caring and the staff is pleasant. My son actually wants to be at class each day. The outdoor activities keep the children involved and motivated ...IE: Field day,Running Club , Turkey Dance..etc...The staff at Colson always remembers my childs name and is very helpful if I have any questions. I would like to seem more focus on spelling and hand writing. Too much focus on the State testing may be keeping other topics ignored. Our child feels comfortable and safe going to school. I do not mind the Lock Downs and appreciate the concern for keeping the school safe. The children talk about how great the environment is at the Library, Chorus and PE. Able to speak with the teachers even if it is not conference night .
Colson is a wonderful elementary school! I started volunteering at the school since my first child started Kindergarten. I have gotten to know all the staff and teachers. They are top-notch! They are always available to talk about any problems or issues. The campus is beautiful and clean. There are so many resources and great parental involvement activities at the school. I would highly recommend Colson Elementary School!
colson elementary is a bad school and i do NOT recommend any students to go here. the staff is very mean and rude (also on occasion they have cursed at my daughter) and should not be let to teach the school. i do not like the way they treat my daughter and how they show favoritism. my daughter has insomnia and emotion episodes because of the way that the teachers treat her. one specific teacher called her a "smart allac" in front of the whole class and has caused her to lose many friends. i hope they can try to get better, because so far, they have been getting worse. there is also bullying, and the bullies in particular, one kid. she has been very rude and has now been made a "bus patrol 'helper'" i do not appreciete how that child can yell and tell other kids to "shut up and be quite" also to curse on the bus and be the loudest child on the bus but not get in the slightest trouble. and dont even get me started on the bus drivers! on MULTIPLE occasions my child was waiting for the bus and the bus never even stopped for her! but when i finally caught up to the bus she gave ME an attitude! and she told me "I have alot more attitude then you!!!" not suitable at all for my children.
My children started Colson this year and it will be the only year they endure it. I was told at a parent teacher conference that since the guidance counselor has two schools to maintain, my daughter should get as much outside help as possible. She said my daughter was very sweet and quiet and would fall through the cracks. My son's teacher was better but he has an easier time learning than my daughter. My daughter needs extra help in reading so they started giving her extra help but the only problem was they were doing it during math so she was getting behind in that. Then we recieve a letter saying the school had failed the FLorida reading assessment and if we chose, they could attend another school. The year was half way over! Her teachers were nice but uninvolved. Therefore they will be attending another school next year.
I do not feel they prepare your child for future grades.
Great teamwork with Parents and Staff and Students. I love the warm welcome everytime you wlk into the office!
this is the 2nd year my kids have came to colson and i think the school is great my son has ABHD and the teachers are doing a great job and he is now ongrade level in work when he was undergread level thank you so very much tina
We have had to move a lot and in the course my kids have had to attend various schools. I have to say that from the elementary schools that they have had to attend the best transition time has been with Colson. My boys love the school, and feel quite at ease. One of my boys is in gifted classes while the other is not, yet I see both being challenge well and they both are equally smart. The interaction I have had with the staff has been wonderful. I would definitely recommend this school to other parents.
what I think about this school is that out of all the other schools in the area this happens to be second worst.the children dont learn instruments even when the children been collecting money and box tops to do so.wich means no orchestra team.does not have computer lab . the most gifted children are in regular classes when they know themselves they deserve to treated more intellegently.no math contests ,reading contests (only for 4 graders)I will grade this school with a D
My son has been in the Deaf/HOH program for 3 years now. It is wonderful! My son is six so we have only experienced the preschool/Kindergarten teacher but she definitely has the the kids best interests at heart. She has always made me feel included in his schooling. We have had very effective EP meetings and have never had a problem getting in touch with his teacher. The school is very Deaf friendly and I love that!
I have been very satisfied with level of engagement the teachers at Colson have with their students. I have a 5 and 12 year old attending this school. My experiences with both of their teachers has been nothing short of great.The teachers are very caring and work with my children's specific needs and personalities. I would highly recommend Colson.
We take pride in the school that my daughter has attended over the last 4 years. This year is her final year and Colson has been a school of choice for us. Colson elementary strongest side has been reading achievement. I must say that our daughter has taken serious interest in her reading since she has a reading level that is out of this world for your average child. Colson does have some milestones that must be addressed but for the most part they have very little teacher interaction with the parents until a problem arises. Colson has earned its grade for the last few years with the help of students and parents that have put their best interest in the kids that attend.
My youngest son is now attending Colson, his older brother has moved on to Burnett. Colson is a good school for the average student, I believe, but it is weak when dealing with diagnosing and providing services for special needs students. There are a lot of stall tackics used such as 'prescreening'. We wasted nearly two years of my middle sons education with prescreening, promises with no action. If you have a special needs student or you think you do, I would advise to know the law, put everything in writing, and advocate and hopefully with this your child won't fall further behind as mine did.
My son is Hearing Impaired we moved here from CT. & were pleasantly surprised by what the school has offered to us. We have found them to be very helpful,and Deaf friendly. There was a culture shock in the level of parent involvement when compared to CT. Schools, I believe that a parent is key to a childs success and as long as you stay involved you can make a difference. I am having a hard time locating good extra-curricular programming so far. I have not been too impressed by any of the PTA programs. I am noticing a huge focus on the State testing...and this concerns me..but this is due to the No Child Left Behind Act..and the school is doing there best to deal with the fall out.
I have found that this school has been a wonderful school with very good teachers and staff. I have enjoyed going to the school for the holiday music programs and other events they have going all year. My 2 granddaughters have thoroughly enjoyed this school for their entire 6 yrs. as students. I have even had the opportunity to speak with a few of the teachers personally.
Colson is a very nice clean school. The campus is beautiful. The reading program at Colson was good but limiting sometimes, not allowing better readers to get credit for reading above level. There are many new teachers there to blend with the seasoned veteran teachers. As a parent I recommend that you involve yourself in your child's education and enjoy the experience along with your child. Colson allows parents to be as involved with their childs education as they wish.

Remarks by Vice President Cheney at the New York Republican State Committee Dinner
WASHINGTON , May 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a transcript of remarks by Vice President Cheney at the New York Republican State Committee Dinner: New York Sheraton Hotel and Towers New York City, New York...
This is going to be one of the major dividing lines between the two parties in this election year -- and we need to make sure that every voter in the country knows the difference. Remind your friends that whenever they hear Democratic politicians pledging to get rid of the Bush tax cuts, what they're promising is a major tax hike for working families. And they wouldn't have to move a muscle to do it, because under the law, that tax cuts simply expire a few years from now. That means it is all more -- all the more critical to elect a Republican Congress to make the tax cuts permanent -- and a Republican President to sign them into law. (Applause.)
Americans are certainly concerned as well about energy, because everyone's paying higher prices at the pump. Our administration has worked with the Congress and private sector to increase the efficiency of cars and trucks, and to promote alternative fuels. But that's not enough to meet the demands of the country -- we also have to produce more oil and gas inside the United States . (Applause.)
Part of the problem in Washington is that a lot of our Democratic friends year after year have tried to stand in the way of more energy production. The plain truth is we can get a lot more energy here in America, and we can do it in an environmentally sound and friendly way. And it's not just crude oil or natural gas production that's being held up. Amazing as it may sound, we haven't built a new refinery in the United States in 30 years -- so now we have to import ever larger amounts of refined product and gasoline. Republicans believe more of the refining ought to be done right here in the United States , at American refineries, by American workers. (Applause.)
You and I belong to the party of low taxes, limited government, and free enterprise. We understand that government exists not to be the people's master but rather the people's servant. We understand the Constitution and the separation of powers -- and that's why we believe in putting good judges on the bench like John Roberts and Sam Alito . (Applause.)
Above all, ladies and gentlemen, we believe in protecting the United States of America -- in defending our security, our values, and our way of life. (Applause.) President Bush has never lost sight of that responsibility. And for that reason, many Democrats who believe in a strong defense have stood by the President in the war on terror. Four years ago at Madison Square Garden, our keynote speaker was Senator Zell Miller of Georgia -- a lifelong Democrat. Senator Miller spoke passionately about the Democratic Party that has lost its bearings on national security; a party that regards our own country as a negative force in the world. Senator Miller said, quote, "Motivated more by partisan politics than by national security, today's Democratic leaders see America as an occupier, not a liberator." And he added a thought that no citizen of this country should ever forget, quote: "Never in the history of the world has any soldier sacrificed more for the freedom and liberty of total strangers than the American soldier. And, our soldiers don't just give freedom abroad, they preserve it for us here at home." (Applause.)
In that same election year, another prominent Democrat known to all of you gave his endorsement to George W. Bush . This Democrat said that the President was, quote, "the only one running who appreciated the threat of Islamic terrorism to American values and Western civilization and was prepared to wage a war to defend those values." Those are the words of Mayor Ed Koch . (Applause.)
And yet another Democrat of national standing has been appalled by the direction his party has taken on national security. Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut is a statesman whose Democratic credentials could not be more impeccable -- (applause). After all, he ran against me for Vice President in 2000. (Laughter.) Yet in his most recent campaign, Joe was targeted for political extinction by his fellow Democrats. One by one, they turned their backs on him. Joe's old running mate, Al Gore , abandoned him. His Connecticut colleague and best friend in the Senate, Chris Dodd , campaigned against him. In a tough political fight, Joe Lieberman was dropped by his own party simply because of his firm stand in the war on terror -- a stand he has consistently held, in good times and bad. (Applause.)

Pop Theory: Are Lesbian Talk Show Hosts Speaking "as†Lesbians?
Speaking "as a" plunges the speaker into new questions of reliable representativity and identity…. If I tried to "speak as a lesbian," wouldn't I be processing my understanding of myself through media-induced images of what a lesbian is or through my own idealizations of what a lesbian should be?
The above quotation is extracted from Barbara Johnson's essay, "Lesbian Spectacles" (1993), in which she tries to "catch [herself] in the act of reading as a lesbian." Her point is that to catch herself reading "as a lesbian" is to already reaffirm both "lesbian" identity and the (stereotypical, "media-induced") desire structure of a "lesbian" (and we all know that lesbians have a diverse range of libidinal desires — for instance, I, a Gold Star Lesbian, will happily admit my preference for gay male porn).
What conjured BJ's essay to mind were the initial thoughts about the abundance of lesbian talk show hosts on TV today — just counting the ones who are "out," and not closeted ones (because I can name a handful of those, too).
Let's name them, shall we?
Wanda Sykes (whose show was canceled)
And, I'd be remiss if I forgot to mention Brittany S. Pierce, even though her Fondue for Two has only "aired" (via webisode) once (and, even though she's arguably not a lesbian.)
Or, how about the most famous lesbian talk show host of all time — Alice Pieszecki.
Thinking about the above list of homolabians, I began to wonder how BJ's idea about "speaking as a lesbian," and the seeming impossibility of doing so (because the question comes to preclude the possibility), manifests through the daily, nationally-broadcasted performances of these women.
From the vantage point of the viewer, to determine whether, say, Ellen "speaks as a lesbian" automatically entails the elision between sexuality and gender. Why? Because unless I see Ellen get all makey-outey with her wife Portia on camera, I cannot read her sexuality. (Why, yes, you are right to infer some hints of Judith Butler, here!) What I inevitably read, via the visual image projected onto my media screen, is her gendered body. This reading implies two things: 1) it is impossible to read sexuality (unless I'm watching the sexual act unfold) and 2) gender is often (mis)construed as portraying or "revealing" someone's sexuality. (Gaydar, you're doing it wrong!)
Here, I'm at a loss, and so I want to ask you, my reader: Can someone speak "as a" lesbian? If yes, how? Furthermore, do you think any of the aforementioned homolabian talk show hosts effectively speak "as a" lesbian? Or, is the impossibility of speaking "as a" lesbian kind of wonderful, in the sense that there isn't one type of lesbian (gender)?

WEDNESDAY, April 25 (HealthDay News) -- Aromatherapy is
beginning to enter the medical mainstream, with groups as diverse
as the American Cancer Society and the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs touting the use of fragrance as a therapy that can
complement traditional health care.
There's little evidence to suggest that aromatherapy can
directly cure illness, but research has found it can help reduce a
wide range of symptoms and side effects in some people.
"Many specific ailments can benefit from aromatherapy blends and treatments," said Monika Meulman, president of the Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists. "For example, insomnia, nausea, headaches and migraines, and aches and pains are often improved with aromatherapy -- just to name a few."
Aromatherapy involves the use of what are called essential oils,
which are very potent distillations of the fragrant portions of
plant life such as flowers, roots and bark, said Dr. Hal Blatman,
medical director of the Blatman Pain Clinic in Cincinnati and a
past president of the American Holistic Medical Association.
These oils are either applied topically to the body, through a
cream or a soaking bath, for instance, or are inhaled after they've
been diffused into the air in a room, Meulman explained.
Researchers believe that the oils trigger smell receptors in the
nose, prompting the transmission of chemical messages along nerve
pathways to the brain's limbic system, Blatman said. The limbic
system is a part of the brain closely associated with moods and
"It's easy to see smells have an effect on the body," Blatman said. "Smells have deep emotional triggers in people."
Aromatherapists recommend using different oils for different
effects. For example:
The oils also can be layered on to get a combination of effects,
Blatman said.
"There are all kinds of specific conditions and specific remedies," he said. "There are a number of reference books for how to use the oils."
The potential plusses of aromatherapy, however, come with
possible drawbacks, too.
For instance, people who decide to pursue aromatherapy on their
own need to be careful because the essential oils used are very
strong, Meulman and Blatman said. The oils can cause an allergic
reaction when touched or inhaled and can prompt an asthma attack in
some people.
The quality of essential oils also can change over time.
"Often the oils sitting on the shelf in a health food store are no longer viable -- they break down with time -- and may no longer have active compounds in them," Meulman said. "Many essential oils are only effective for several months to a year. By the time they get to an end user, they have oxidized to the point of not being useful and, in some cases, may be harmful."
People also should be aware that the oils can have an internal
effect even if applied to the skin.
"Some essential oils can accumulate in the liver," Meulman said. "For example, eucalyptus is broken down slowly by the body and tends to accumulate in the liver. If used daily in large amounts, within a few weeks a person can experience signs of toxicity due to this buildup."
For these reasons and others, Meulman and her association
recommend that people interested in aromatherapy consult with a
professional aromatherapist.
"For do-it-yourself use, one can use some oils for ambiance, room spray experiences and other such occasional uses," she said. "For daily aromatherapy use and self-treatment, professional aromatherapist guidance is strongly advised."

I know Alexander McQueen was known for his wacky out-of-this-world fashion, but sometimes it was so completely strange I almost forgot it was beautiful. I stumbled on some images of the Fall 2010-11 shoe collection and I'm in awe. I realize that no one aside from Lady Gaga could wear these with a straight face- but, seriously, these shoes have wings!! Like…wings! If I was a greek goddess, this is what I'd be wearing.
Caption: JAPAN YOU SUCK AT ART
Mr. Ed Skudder stumbled this to me. I just love it.

Recently the Smithsonian removed the video A Fire in My Belly by David Wojnarowicz from their exhibit due to the fact that House Republicans and the Catholic Church claimed it was anti-catholic and could be considered hate speech. Unfuckingbelievable.
Disclaimer: Though I graduated with a B.A. in Fine Arts and took far too many modern art and art history classes, sat through way too many self-important and egotistical critiques, I am usually not a fan of contemporary art, especially video art. For the most part I find it obnoxious, pretentious, and often wonder if the artist chose to do video art, performance art or modern art in general due to their lack of drawing and painting skills. So trust me, this is not a rant about what makes art. This is a rant about hypocrisy.
A little background: David Wojnarowicz (wow that's a name) died in 1992 at the age of 37. He was a rebellious modern artist, often graffiti-ing walls, painting garbage cans and creating art around areas known to be frequented by gay men looking for anonymous sex. David was gay and in 1987 his former lover died of complications from AIDS. Soon after David learned that he had also been infected with HIV. The video that has come under question and complete censorship was exhibited in the Smithsonian's "Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture". After being diagnosed with HIV, David's art began to capture the struggle of being a gay, HIV positive person in the 80's. The video in question depicts the crucifix crawling with ants and images of certain saints. William Donohue, of the Catholic League, which has caused the ridiculous uproar and call for censorship, has dubbed this video hate-speech.
NEVERMIND THE CONSTANT OFFENSIVE, THREATENING AND INHUMANE TIRADES OF THE CATHOLICS, AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SPECIFICALLY AGAINST HOMOSEXUALS. Not only does the Catholic Church condemn homosexuality, they condemn the use of condoms which, when used correctly, prevent HIV from spreading. For the Catholic Church to talk about hate speech is just utterly ridiculous. Jerry Falwell once wrote:
"[homosexuals are] brute beasts…part of a vile and satanic system [that] will be utterly annihilated, and there will be a celebration in heaven."
This is just one example of the "hate speech" perpetrated against gays. For the Catholic Church to come out and say that Wojnarowicz's work should be removed because they find it to be "hate speech" is hypocrisy at its best. How about we remove the exhibit once the Pope comes out and deems homosexuals to be as lovable and moral as sunshine and butterflies?
If we forget about the fact that this work of art is about what it's like to be a homosexual, and a homosexual that's HIV positive, I would also like to note that the work is not "hate speech" but free speech." When did any work of art become famous because it was conventional? Or followed all the rules? The Catholic Church commissioned artists to paint the saints and bible stories before artists really had any choice in the matter. But where would we be now if art had, excuse the pun, stayed within the lines? Or if anything we use or see today had not evolved? Ah…evolved. Now I see the problem.
I just honestly cannot believe that, in this day and age, the Smithsonian has actually pulled the video from the exhibit. How dare they. I know that museums are not the last bastions of truth and morality- that everything is paid for by somebody. Grants and curators hold sway in the art world as much as corporations do in the political sphere. Yet, isn't it innately hypocritical, even oxymoronic, for art to be censored in the art world? If Piero Manzoni can shit in a can, then literally call it Artist's Shit, and then have that shit exhibited…or breath in a bunch of balloons and call it Artist's Breath- then surely no one has any say anymore as to what art IS.
The Catholic Church is a cruel, regressive, tyrant. You cannot condemn homosexuals, then condoms, and then through a hissy fit when one of those homosexuals who then dies of AIDS has something to say about the whole idea. You simply can't. You shouldn't.

Andrew Romanoff to challenge Rep. Mike Coffman in Aurora-based 6th District
Andrew Romanoff, the former Democratic Speaker of the Colorado House, will make a run for the Aurora-based 6th Congressional District seat in 2014.
Romanoff submitted paper work to the Federal Election Commission on Friday and will visit with constituents at the Adams County and Douglas County Democratic Party meetings Saturday.
He will also make an appearance at the Colorado Freedom Memorial groundbreaking in Aurora.
"If we want to get anything done, we need a Congress that's capable of constructive action and that's not the Congress we have," said Romanoff, who now lives in Aurora.
Romanoff's announced run for the seat currently held by Republican Rep. Mike Coffman, comes just three months after Coffman defeated former Democratic state Rep. Joe Miklosi by just two percentage points.
Coffman, a three-term incumbent, resides in a district that is among the most competitive in the nation, as it's divided almost evenly among Democrats, Republicans and unaffilated voters.
In 2010, Romanoff lost the Democratic Senate primary to U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet in a bitter contest that led to Romanoff selling his home to finance his campaign.
A spokesman for Romanoff said Saturday he will not take any money from PACs or special interest groups in his bid for the 6th District — a pledge his campaign made in 2010.
"Washington is awash of special interest money … I'm going to need individuals to chip in and make contributions. I want to represent the people of the 6th District, not special interests." Romanoff said.

How To Train Your Dog? Explained In Great Detail…
If you're perplexed about dog training, then read on. The reality is that dog training is more about teaching you how to communicate consistently with your dog than anything else.
Your pooch is certain about one thing: pleasing you comes natural to her. Behaving in an expected way to please you…well that's the key to training. Whether you are house training a puppy, street training and walking your pooch, or just teaching her a few new tricks, remember this: it all starts with you.
House Training your Puppy
Reality dictates that your puppy has to pee and poop. Where and when for a young dog is a concept you have to teach them in a kind, consistent repetitive way. Punishing a puppy for something that is natural for all of us is cruel. So let's start by setting up the first rule: no punishing and that means, no yelling, no nose rubbing in the carpet or anything else. If your puppy does her business in the house, accept the fact that it is your fault , not hers. Just clean up the mess and read on. No wailing, no fuss, no unwarranted attention to the deed.
Young puppies have no idea of schedules and bladder control. You need to take out your puppy to a designated area (a section of your back yard or city park) where you, your puppy and mother nature will all convene. For puppies 6 weeks to 12 weeks, this should be done every 45 minutes or so.
When your puppy does the deed, shower her with praise. I guarantee, that if you follow this schedule for a few days, puppy will soon learn that going to the bathroom in the designated area is not only necessary, but an opportunity for praise.
If your puppy goes to the bathroom before you reach the designated area (which, by the way. should be relatively close to the door you are exiting to get outside), just ignore the deed until you get to the designated area. Chances are your puppy will need to do more than one pee, and when she does the second one in the designated area, out comes the praise.
Clean up the area of feces except for the tiniest bit. This will be the prompt for your puppy's next visit.
In then evening, most puppies will sleep for about 3 hours. Immediately, upon waking, out you go to the designated area. During the night, again, only expect to get 3 hours sleep at any time. It's just like having a baby for feeding times. Pull on your sweats and out you go to the designated area.
After a couple of days, your puppy will understand the difference between going to the bathroom in the designated area versus indoors. Will accidents happen? You bet they will! This is where the kind patience comes in to play. Clean up with no apparent fuss.
We have found that this has worked with all our puppies and within 4-5 days, 90% of the bathroom activities occur outside where you want them. Just remember, that just because your puppy has learned that going outside is the place to go, you still have to be aware that puppies do two things: eat and excrete.
Although you may be able to extend the 45 minute period, young puppies will always have to go right after eating and sometime in between at least twice. That's about 6-8 visits a day to the poop area until you puppy is at least 8 months old.
If your puppy has an indoor accident, immediately take her out to the designated area. After a few sniffs she will finish what she started in the house. Out comes the praise and then go back in and clean up with no fuss.
Now if your puppy is having accidents on your priceless Persian rug, you have to ask yourself why you let her anywhere near the rug in the first place. Remember that you control the acceptable areas for puppy to room and wander in your home.
Now you may think that this is a tremendous amount of work. But think about it this way. Your puppy will commit her lifetime to love you. All you need to is spend 4-5 days showing her where to go to the bathroom. Seems fair to us.
Some more house training ideas…
For individuals who may be physically handicapped and find it a challenge to keep running outside, this might be an alternative. We have yet to review the program in its entirety, but it looks promising especially for small dogs: litter training!
Other types of dog training…
Of course you'll want to train your dog to walk safely with you, come when called, sit and lie down on command. This is basic obedience training and should probably be started with most breeds after 6 months. Before this, your puppies mind is just to unfocused and although you might get a few minutes of attention, it won't last.
However, this is a critical time to keep your dog safe. Do not let her run loose as she could get injured or attacked by other dogs less tolerant of puppies. Most older dogs consider young dogs an irritant.
We could write pages on obedience training for your dog. But the type of training varies by breed and the required results you want. We have found that Adam Katz to be a good authority on basic obedience training and his methods are guaranteed to give you the dog you were meant to have.
His programs take you from the young dog, dealing with problem dogs, and even to new ways to play with your dog. It's worth a visit and gets 4.5 (out of 5) stars from us. His videos are very good.
Another trainer, whose work gets 5 stars from us, is Daniel Stevens. His no nonsense approach is easy to understand and as always guaranteed to work. He fully understand how you can get inside your dog's head and win the obedience game. We particularly like his approach to dog training.
Dog training – whether you need to house train your puppy or adult dog, are looking for sound advice on dog obedience training, or just want to show your pooch some new tricks, remember this: it all starts with you and loving patience. In time, the dog you've always wanted will be sitting right there beside you. You know it had to be love at first sight!

Endgameby Samuel Beckett
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Samuel Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature n 1969; his literary output of plays, novels, stories and poetry has earned him an uncontested place as one of the greatest writers of our time. Endgame, originally written in French and translated into English by Beckett himself, is considered by many critics to be his greatest single work. A pinnacle of Beckett's characteristic raw minimalism, it is a pure and devastating distillation of the human essence in the face of approaching death.
"It is his remarkable ability to mix beauty, imagination, vitality and wry humor that transforms Beckett from a mere dispenser of meaningless gloom into a dramatic poet." New York Post

Look who is funding the Republican candidates: fabulously wealthy white guys with arcane agendas. With Mitt, it's the Wall Street vulture capitalist crowd of which he is an integral part. With Rick, it's one lone billionaire who can get away with going on cable TV talk shows and joking how women should practice birth control by holding an aspirin between their knees. Newt Gingrich has been bankrolled by a gambling mogul who is quite upfront about his own one-track, pro-Israel agenda.

- The Real Housewives of New Jersey Dina Calls Out Melissa Special Time Sunday 9/8c
No. 3 - Lucky Sevens
So NeNe and Marlo finally sat down to hash out all the rumors regarding NeNe's relationship with Charles Grant. Perhaps surprisingly, it was a perfectly polite conversation. NeNe went on a date with him once in the past before he was with Marlo. Nothing came of it. Now he's with Marlo. Case closed.
However things took a rather unexpected turn when Marlo put out there as a side note that she's been arrested seven times. I have to say I had the same reaction as NeNe -- "Say what now?" Don't get me wrong, the past is the past so no big deal. It was just that her delivery was so non-chalant. It wasn't as if they were sharing past secrets or playing truth or dare. But hey it didn't stop Marlo and NeNe from becoming BFF and attending that Captain Planet charity jewelry auction (yes, you read that right) together, so I suppose pre-emptive honesty may be the best policy.

PORTAGE | Heather Zengler was sick earlier in the week and Portage teammate Stephanie Upton had been waiting for some healthy at-bats.
So with Portage forced to play the role of visitor in its own backyard due to wet conditions at scheduled host Crown Point, the fortunes for the Indians flipped along with their spot on the scoreboard.
Zengler steadily retired Bulldogs, and Upton had three huge RBIs as the Times No. 4 Indians notched a "road" win against No. 3 Crown Point 9-3 Thursday night in Duneland Athletic Conference softball.
The Bulldogs (5-3, 4-2) had led 2-0 with one run earned and the other unearned before Portage exploded.
With four hits, three walks and a fielder's choice in the span of eight batters, the Indians (10-3, 5-2) hung six runs on the Guests portion of the scoreboard to change the game.
C.P. starter Siena Gyure, who had shut the Indians down in their previous meeting, cruised through the first three innings with one hit and one walk allowed. However, two walks sandwiched around a double loaded the bases to start the fourth, and after a force play at home the hit parade began in earnest.
"They've seen (Gyure), and they were ready for her," said Portage coach Lisa Hayes, who was on maternity leave during the last matchup.
"She's a very good pitcher, and timing her up is not very easy."
Alexis Johnson, Stephanie Upton and Jena Alaniz put Portage up 5-2, Upton singling home the go-ahead pair and Alaniz doubling for two more. Alaniz scored on a wild pitch to make it 6-2.
"It felt pretty awesome, just like a domino effect," Upton said. "It was one person, then the next and the next. It feels great to be able to keep it going."
Zengler quickly retired the first two hitters of the bottom of the fourth and pitched out of a slight jam with two runners on base. Zengler allowed eight hits and a walk with no strikeouts. She induced 18 ground-outs.
Johnson walked with the bases loaded in the fifth, and Upton singled for another run.
Injury-plagued Lauren Murray, a former all-DAC player who had offseason knee surgery, added a solo home run over the center field fence in the seventh.
"She's such a great kid overall, and having her back is a big boost to the whole program," Hayes said. "She really needed that (home run) to get back into the swing of things."
Crown Point scored its first run on an error and its second on a Rachael Honaker single. Miranda Elish's RBI base hit in the sixth cut the Bulldogs' deficit to 8-3.
"Our hits were all spread out, and their hits were all one after another," Crown Point coach Ginger Britton said. "Against a team like Portage you can't have two bad innings and expect to come out on top."

The University of La Verne organizes the collection of donated school supplies to help out families in need through a local charity.
School is starting for thousands of students in the surrounding area, and the University of La Verne has teamed up with Inland Valley Hope Partners to provide school supplies to children from low- and no-income families.
Organized by Carrie Lewis Hasse, Assistant Dean for Advising and Retention Services in Regional Campus Administration at La Verne, the effort produced a great response from the community and lots of needed supplies to the charity organization.
"I was amazed at the amount of school supplies that were donated!" Hasse said. "I literally delivered two trunkloads of supplies to Inland Valley Hope Partners. A local resident read our announcement, took the time to shop for supplies and dropped off two bags last Friday. I was very touched."
Hasse said the school supplies will be given to the children that reside in the Inland Valley Hope Partners shelter and also distributed to its four food banks, which will distribute them along with food and hygiene items.
Hasse said that, in addition to the school supplies collected on La Verne's main campus, the university's College of Law conducted its own collection, which proved to be very successful.
Inland Valley Hope Partners provides food and shelter to 80,000 people per year, according to its website. The organization has four food pantries, in Ontario, Pomona, Claremont and San Dimas and brings together faith communities, businesses, individuals and community groups in an effort to ensure the empowerment of people in need by providing food, shelter and supportive services.

National cargo theft crime reporting system planned
Reporting will be voluntary at first, making theft numbers harder to quantify
The cargo theft crisis was first realized in Marion County in 1999, when Sheriff Ed Dean kept seeing reports of 18-wheeler loads being swiped from area truck stops. He assigned Bibb to investigate. They soon learned Marion County led the state in the number of thefts.
They later teamed up with Dade County cargo theft officials, who operated the nation's first multi-agency task force. They formed the nation's first statewide cargo theft task force, which now includes officers with the Florida Highway Patrol, Department of Transportation, Florida Department of Law Enforcement and other agencies.
The Florida task force's name recently was changed to the National Commercial Vehicle and Cargo Theft Prevention Task Force, the first and only one of its kind.
"I have been impressed," Dean said of the attendance, adding the speakers were all valued experts in a variety of fields, including trucking companies, insurance companies and law enforcement.

1.8" USB Portable Hard Drive

Jin-Wei Tioh writes "The folks at BlueSmoke take a look at Transcend's recently announced 1.8" USB 2.0 portable hard drive, the only one of its kind on the market. Roughly the size of a small stack of business cards, it is quite a bit smaller than existing 2.5" drives. It holds either 20GB or 40GB of data and is styled like an iPod."

As we mentioned earlier, the cylinder heads are Edelbrock's aluminum units for Oldsmobiles (PN 6051). As delivered, the heads feature 77cc chambers, 188cc intake ports, and 106cc raised-floor exhaust ports. After DMR is finished with them, they will have smaller 65-70cc chambers, and the ports will have been reworked to deliver 315 cfm on the intake side and 218 cfm on the exhausts. This is measured at 28 inches of water on the flowbench. Normally, Dick takes the time to port his own heads, but this time, he's calling in the artillery.
